Vision Development in Infants

The visual system is designed to capture light effects. The apparatus of global vision allows us to perceive images based on the amount of light reflected. Light enters through the cornea, passes through the pupil to the lens, and is then sent to the retina.

Developmental Milestones

• Newborn: Distinguishes between light and dark (chiaroscuro).
• 1 Month: Can stare at a large object.
• 2 Months: Can accommodate and converge their vision.
• 3 Months: Can follow a moving object by turning their head.
• 4 Months: Has a vertical and horizontal visual field of 180 degrees.
• 6 Months: Acquires eye-hand coordination.
• 8 Months: Examines objects with more detail.
• 12 Months: Acquires adult-like visual acuity.

Vision Disorders

Refractive Errors

• Myopia

Electronic Communication Processes

In electronic communication, information in a signal moves from one device to another. Along the way, signals undergo a series of processes, including:

• Noise: The information signal gets mixed with other unwanted signals produced by highly diverse sources.
• Attenuation: This is the loss of energy a signal suffers as it propagates through a medium. This is resolved using amplifiers, repeaters, or signal regenerators at the transmitter and receiver.
• Signal Collision: A medium can be shared by several signals, but if they coincide, they collide and interfere with each other.

Denoising with Balanced Cables

This method consists of two conductors, where each carries the same signal but with opposite polarity to the other.... Continue reading "Signal Integrity in Guided Transmission Media" »

Computer Memory Hierarchy and Storage

The memory is organized into levels depending on the capacity, speed of access, and cost.

• CPU Registers

  Low capacity but high-speed storage integrated into the processor. Used to save and access frequently used data, typically in mathematical operations.

• Cache Memory

  Low capacity and very fast, with access times lower than 5 nanoseconds. Cache is interposed between the processor and main memory.

• Main Memory (RAM)

  Slower and larger in capacity than the cache.

• Secondary Memory or Disk

  High capacity storage, ranging from several Gigabytes (GB) to Terabytes (TB).

I/O Units and Peripherals

Peripherals are devices connected to the computer that can store information and communicate with the outside world.
