Survey on Microsoft
Communication Systems
Introduction
Microsoft, founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates, began in 1975 as two men selling software for a microcomputer intended for hobbyists.[1] [2] Since then, Microsoft has expanded their product base to cover operating systems, gaming consoles, and tablets extending not only to software but also to complex hardware.
To examine Microsoft’s impact and usage of communication systems, the following report will focus on three main product areas: Xbox Kinect; Windows hone 8.1; and Xbox One Controller.
Xbox Kinect
The Xbox one is a complex piece of equipment. The Kinect uses a 1080p wide-angle time-of-flight camera, and processes 2 gigabits of data per second to read its

This chip provides sequential read operation on whole chip. Program command is executed on byte basis, or page (256 bytes) basis, or word basis for erase command is executed on sector (4K-byte), block (32K-byte), or block (64K-byte), or whole chip basis. This chip can store up to 100,000 programs and erase cycles efficiently. [6]
The SK Hynix H5TC1g63EFR is a 1 GB low power Double Data Rate III (DDR3L) Synchronous DRAM. This chips is in charge of memory applications which require large memory density, high bandwidth and low power operation at 1.35V. The data paths in this chip are internally pipelined and 8-bit prefetched to achieve very high bandwidth[7]
The NCP6922C is designed to improve supply battery powered portable application subsystems such as cameras, microprocessors, etc. This device integrates two high efficiency 800 mA step-down DC to DC converters with DVS (Dynamic Voltage Scaling) and two low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators. [8]
The NCL30161 is a constant−current driver for high power LEDs. This chip enables a wide range of pulsed dimming, and a high switching frequency and also allows the use of smaller external components. It is mainly included in the Kinect top protect its LEDs. [9]
An Infra-red Camera is a camera that forms an image using infra-red radiation Instead of the 450–750 nanometer range of the visible light camera, infrared cameras operate in
Copious amounts of RAM accommodates many applications to run concurrently, or allocation for use as a high speed RAM disk. While smaller computing environments can function with 8GB or less, servers benefit from otherwise excessive volumes. The Xeon line supports ECC RAM to ensure integrity of data and quality of service to clients large and small.
c) The memory chip reply with the data from the demanded memory position on the data bus.
Cache memory is the fastest memory outside of the CPU, runs at 10-30 ns per access.
The sequential large I/O and random input and output reads and write are needed for an application. It offers a good I/O response for random as it reads and poor for the small random writes. For random writes, its good and are slow for parity overhead
Microsoft was founded in 1975, and is the worldwide leader in software, services, and solutions (Career). Microsoft is proud to offer great products and employ outstanding people. Previous Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer once said, “There are many things that are true about Microsoft. We have big goals, big dreams, and big aspirations for the future. We are both competitive with our products and in the way we attract and retain talent. For me, the most important factor is competition for talent, because I know our success comes from the people who work here” (Foley).
The mote’s size makes energy management a key component. The circuit will contain circuits, a temperature sensor, and A/D converter, microprocessor, SRAM, communications circuits, and power control circuits. Sensors work together with the IC, which will operate from a power source integrated with the platform.
The Xbox One has many strengths that can be used in order for it to become a profitable product.
Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1974 in New Mexico. When starting the company neither realized the impact they would have on the world. The companies first home software was Xenix, although it failed this led to developing MS-DOS for the IBM- PC. Xenix was also the base for Microsoft developing its first word processor.

The Xbox One, being one top competitors in the gaming console industry has many features that differ from other gaming consoles. One main feature is the Xbox Live which is an online service for the Xbox console allowing an individual
Microsoft Xbox is a company that makes games, gaming systems and accessories. The use of these systems has risen dramatically over the years and the people that use them are always looking for a new great game or accessory to go with it. Also, Microsoft Xbox has launched the new Xbox 360 Elite, the most elite gaming system available today. Back in November 2005, when Xbox 360 first hit the shelves, it was just the beginning. Although the console itself has not changed, the number of games available for it has risen exponentially. You can also play many regular Xbox games, designed for the first Xbox, that have backward compatibility with Xbox 360. More than 200 Xbox games work well on Xbox 360. That
The beginning of Microsoft Inc. started with Bill Gates and Paul Allen writing computer program code for local businesses and municipalities. In 1975 they were inspired by an issue of Popular Electronics that showed the new Altair microcomputer kit, manufactured by MITS Computer. Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote a version of BASIC, a computer programming language, for the machine. Later that year Bill Gates left Harvard University to work full time developing programming languages for the Altair, and he and Paul Allen relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to be near MITS Computer, where Paul Allen took a position as director of software development. Bill Gates and Paul Allen named their partnership Micro-soft (Microsoft
In 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen created a company called Microsoft. More than thirty years later, Microsoft is a leader in the field of computer programming. Gates and Allen both had big plans for their company and came up with different ways of managing people and products
With the advancement of new technologies such as high definition(HD) and motion sensors it was only natural that consoles would evolve to incorporate these new breakthroughs. The first seventh generation console to be released was Microsoft’s Xbox 360 on
Micosoft was founded on 4th April 1975 by Bill Gates & Paul Allen and is headquartered in Redmond, Washington (USA). The company provides employment to more than 89000 people. Microsoft recorded revenues of $62000 million in the financial Year 2010 (Microsoft, 2011).
The output of IC-2 is also used for lighting LED-1 indicating presence of signal. When no signal is available output of sensor module goes high and transistor LED is switched ‘OFF’. When another signal arrives, LED is switched ‘ON’ and through clock pulse at Pin No. 14 of IC-3. This makes the LED to switch ‘ON’ the appliance at first pulse and ‘OFF’ the appliance at its Second pulse arrived at its sensor. Transmitter circuits works satisfactorily with 6-9V DC. Battery but receiver circuits needs 6V regulated supply. The CAMD CM8870/70C provides full DTMF receiver capability by integrating both the band-split filter and digital decoder functions into a single 18-pin DIP, SOIC,or 20-pin PLCC package. The CM8870/70C is manufactured using state-of-the-art CMOS process technology for low power consumption (35mW, MAX) and precise data handling. The filter section uses a switched capacitor technique for both high and low group filters and dial tone rejection. The
