Introduction

In this ever-changing world, where change is the only permanent phenomena, our Traditional SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Card also underwent many figurative and technological changes. From Mini to Micro to Nano the size of SIM Card was reduced to its half and with present technology of eSIM, i.e. Embedded/Electronic SIM, it will further reduce its size drastically but will focus more on technological advancement to facilitate the consumers.

This article will give answers to the major doubts regarding eSIM.

What is an eSIM?

To understand eSIM, first, we have to know what a SIM is. A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is Chip which establishes a network connection between your electronic device and a carrier network and facilitates you to make calls, send texts, browse data, etc. Now an Embedded/Electronic SIM as the name suggests is the programmable SIM, which is embedded directly into the device.

Instead of being available as a physical SIM card, manufacturers integrate a small SIM card inside the phone, saving you the switch between physical ones when you switch your service provider.

What is the full form of eSIM?

The eSIM stands for Embedded/Electronic Subscriber Identity Module. It is also known as (eUICC) Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card.

What is the size of an eSIM Card?

The normal height of an eSIM is 6.0mm with a width of 5.0mm and thickness being 0.67mm. As eSIM is in-built in mobile devices, there is no need to provide the space slots for SIM Cards Thus making the device more compact.

What are the functions of an eSIM Card?

An eSIM is basically an in-built SIM in cellular devices. Hence it has all the features and performs all functions of a regular SIM, it aids in making calls, sending texts, exploring data packages, etc. Rather this chip has higher network coverage and better signal adaptation features than a traditional SIM. Also, it has a facility to change the carrier mobile network according to the signal availability in a particular area at any given time.

It won’t be wrong to say that it has a better application feature than LTE Technology. In the settings menu of a mobile phone or any electronic device with eSIM technology, there would be a separate option dedicated to eSIM settings containing the usage tutorials and further options to explore the features of this technology.

How many contacts can you save in an eSIM Card?

The present storage capacity of a normal SIM Card (Nano) is around 20MB. It can store up to 5,000 Contacts without pictures or any other information other than Name and Contact Number. An eSIM Card has better storage capacity than the normal SIM to save contacts, messages, pictures, or other relevant data. It is speculated that it can store around 25,000 contacts containing Name and Number.

What material is used for make an eSIM card?

The Electronic chip is the main component of a SIM card, which is made from Silicon alloy, including some added impurities such as phosphorous. It is then plated with metals like Gold to form the outer layer which makes contact with the motherboard of a cellular device.

The making of the eSIM Card follows a similar pattern. The main material used is Silicon Alloy, having phosphorous impurities being coded and covered by a metal layer like Gold and directly embedded in the motherboard of the gadget.

How secure is the eSIM Card in making calls from different operators?

An eSIM works in a similar way as normal SIM works. Here one has to login to a carrier and operate accordingly. There is an option to switch between operators at any time, which eases the consumer's work. The majority of the modern gadget has a complete section in the settings menu dedicated to eSIM settings.

There the user can select the operator for incoming calls or the operator for text messages or a carrier for outgoing calls etc. But right now it is not possible to take calls from different operators at a single time. One could switch Carrier Accounts simultaneously and operate accordingly. The Dual eSIM Card Concept is still in pipeline and will work out soon.

Which Smartphone company is using eSIM technology?

s-SIM Card was first used by Samsung in 2016 in the Samsung Gear S2 smart-watch followed by Apple Inc and Google (Google Pixel2 being the first cell phone to use eSIM technology, launched only in the United States). This technology is considered the future of SIM Card and is used by the majority telecom industry and mobile and electronic device making companies in manufacturing its product accordingly. Such as Microsoft, which introduced eSIM to the Windows-10 operating system in 2018.

Plintron, a giant in cloud CAAS (Communication As A Service) provider industry, also implemented the “IOT” Internet of things product, based on eSIM support for the devices and available in 28 countries. And recently Motorola released the 2020 version of the Motorola Razr, a foldable Smartphone that only supports eSIM and doesn’t have any physical SIM slots.

An eSIM is even smaller than an average human’s fingernail; with such small size and better network coverage facility this technology is not limited to telecom devices rather is used in many different devices such as smart-watches. This technology is used by European countries in the Automobile industry also; in 2012 the European Commission finalized the embedded UICC format for its in-vehicle emergency call service known as Call.

All new car models in the EU have been directed to incorporate one by 2018 to instantly connect the car to the emergency services in case of any accident emergency. Even Singapore is seeking public polls and opinions on the introduction of eSIM as a new standard as more and more compatible devices are entering the market.

How many Countries are currently connected with eSIM?

This emerging technology is supported by many countries and its mobile carrier network organization. Most European countries, as well as India, Canada, Hong Kong, the USA, Taiwan, Qatar, Singapore, Thailand, UAE, and Kuwait, being the major countries to support this booming technology. But presently beside the United States, the eSIM technology is available in nine other countries – India, Austria, Canada, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom.

In India, Bharti Airtel was first to introduce eSIM technology causing a huge uproar in the telecom industry. Even Reliance JIO followed the footsteps and incorporated this technology to stay competitive in the market. Now both the companies have this facility in India as well all the 9 countries.

What are the Pros and Cons of eSIM?

Advantages of the eSIM Card Technology

1. Space Saving- Due to the eSIM physical SIM Card isn’t required, hence removing the components to read a SIM card, and the SIM card slot itself, which removes a handful of complexities in Smartphone Device design and remove a big hole in a Smartphone device. So removing the physical SIM card will provide space for new technology. Hence enabling the makers to use this saved space for installing other useful components or to optimize the Smartphone’s design to create a better-looking phone.
2. Hassle-free Inter-Portability between Carriers- Activating and switching between the carriers is super easy. You don’t need to go to a shop to get the SIM and wait for it to get activated. All you need to do is LogIn to your carrier account and link your eSIM.
3. Easy Traceability- In case of phone theft, the eSIM is a default in-built SIM and cannot be taken out, hence using the phone with another SIM is out of option. So there is a high chance of tracking the phone and getting it back.
4. No additional charges- One of the advantages of this bubbling technology is that the consumers will not have to wait or pay any additional amount for the SIM as the eSIM is already in-built in the device.
5. Higher security and efficiency- Another advantage of this technology is that the eSIM-based gadgets generally offer potentially higher security along with re-programmability features, and are more power-efficient over the traditional SIM card solutions.

Limitations of the eSIM Card Technology

1. Not so easy transferability- Since it is not a physical SIM and is permanently in-built in the phone or other device, it is impossible to take it off the gadget and put it into another Smartphone or other device. In case the phone runs out of battery one doesn’t have the option to change the SIM and in the worst case where the gadget breaks or is destroyed, all the data in eSIM is gone with it and is very hard (nearly impossible) to retrieve.
2. Complex Working- The switching and activating of the carriers could be a difficult task for a layman. And as the eSIM is in-built and removing it is impossible, so at times when one passes his phone, it will be important to take all the important data from the eSIM and create a backup or to erase the data from that. This could be a tedious task for some.
3. Always stays connected to Network- An eSIM will always be connected to a network once provisioned. That makes phones far more traceable and track-able. This could be a problem for those who love their privacy and don’t want themselves to be located. It is a little bit far removed from what an average person deals with but it could be a problem to some who adore their privacy.
4. Hacker’s Threat- An eSIM gives users the power to download a profile directly onto their phone. This means, in theory, that a hacker might be able to push a new profile onto someone else's device and take control of it, making devices vulnerable to hacker’s attacks.
5. No Dual eSIM Concept- Those who wish to use two or more phone lines at a time, eSIM doesn’t facilitate this. This concept is still not adopted and is in the planning stage but in the future, we might see dual eSIM devices.
6. Still in Emerging Stage- Since this technology is just still in the emerging stage, there aren’t a lot of carriers/operators which support eSIM, and some countries, like China, are openly opposing the idea but it will come around eventually.

I hope this article was helpful in creating a basic idea of eSIM and busting a few myths regarding the same.

Introduction

We all know lemon is sour. The taste is refreshing to the human palate and often work wonders in lifting fatigue from a daily workout or even stress of working daily. There is such a charm for human’s tongue that find acidic thing appealing as we even produce artificial flavor with simple chemistry. Yes, the sourness of lemon came from a chemical named citric acid and it is measured using pH value.

Having mentioned that, pH value is not an absolute unit. The process of determining pH value has so many variables and constants to it. Temperature also played a role in other chemical processes and can affect the outcome of our measurement.

What is the definition of pH?

In chemistry terms, pH (Potential of Hydrogen) can be defined as the measure of how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. In hindsight, pH cannot be measured in oil or alcohol-based solution because pH only counts the number of hydrogen ion activity in water. Thus, pH is a measure of this activity in a solution using logarithmic reciprocal.

There is, however a method for calculating pH (Potential of Hydrogen) value for the compound that is soluble in another solution such as oil and other chemicals. These are usually classified and calculated using the Lewis acid-base model that is not dependent on hydrogen ion activity in a solution, but we will not touch on that subject matter yet.

The basic formula for calculating pH value is –log10c where c is defined as the number of moles or concentration of hydrogen ion per liter. For the meaning of pH itself, there are several discussions about the original definition. The first person to coin the term pH is a Danish chemist by the name of Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen. He never explains the term specifically but uses it in measure of potential differences in hydrogen ions.

What is pH?

As we stated previously, pH (Potential of Hydrogen) is counted in the logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen ion activity in water. It scales (measure) in decimal (.) value. Specifically, it counts the number of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ion in a water-based solution.

Since the number is measured using the reciprocal of the logarithm, a difference in 1 value resulted in the big gap between the two values. For example, in a solution with a pH value of 3, the solution with a pH value of 2 has 10 times more concentration of hydrogen ion per mol per liter than a solution with a pH value of 3.

How is pH measured?

Basically, the higher the count of free hydrogen ion in your solution, the more acidic it becomes and more hydroxyl ion leads to a more basic solution. By measuring the concentration of these ions, we can determine the pH value of a solution.

To measure pH, there are several ways to determine the value. One method is to use an electrochemical measuring system in which the hydrogen activity in solution is detected by using electrodes and millivoltmeter, then calculated based on the buffer solution of known pH value.

There is also a universal indicator, similar to litmus paper but more accurate as the change in color can be observed since it is a mixture of indicators that can change color for pH (Potential of Hydrogen) ranging from pH 2 to pH 10. The further result can be traced with a spectrophotometer which can accurately detect the color changes.

What are the Methods to determine acidity/basicity?

The most basic test to determine an acidic or basic base is to use litmus paper. It is the most basic chemistry lab test done in school by dipping the paper strip into the solution and watching the reaction (color change) of the litmus paper. The standard result is when the blue litmus paper turns into the red is acidic and red litmus paper turns into the blue is alkaline (basic).

As this is the most basic test, it is not always accurate as different factors can affect the outcome. For example, in the case of a very weak acid, there may not be enough color change if any due to the low concentration of hydrogen ion to interact with the litmus paper. As mentioned before also, temperature plays a role in the activation of hydrogen ion. At 0-degree Celsius pure water has a pH value of 7.47 and 6.14 at 100-degree Celsius. Thus, pH value is always measured at room temperature as a standard reference to pure water.

How to calculate pH?

To calculate the value of the pH (Potential of Hydrogen) of a solution, knowledge of mathematical calculation is needed. The formula is as follows: pH = -log10(aH+) =  log10(1/aH+)

where a is the number of mol per liter and H+ is hydrogen ion.

Let us take an example of hydrochloric acid, HCl with a concentration of 3 x 10-4 mol per liter. Therefore, using our formula will yield pH = –log10(3x10-4) which results in 3.52 in the value of pH.

However, do note that this calculation applies to strong acid and base, in which they are completely integrated with water. For weak acid and base, the calculation will involve something called acid dissociation constants. The value of these constants for weak acid and base has been largely determined through experiments, where the RICE chart is used to keep track of the changes in equilibrium.

Basically, the chart shows how much changes in composition when a reagent reacts with water, and thus the constants and pH value can be calculated. Do note, however, that the acid or base is not very weak and the concentration is not too dilute as to neglect the concentration of OH- ions.

What is the definition of pH Scale?

pH (Potential of Hydrogen) scale ranged from 1 to 14, with a lower number means higher acidity and a higher number means more basic a solution is. Pure water at room temperature or 25-degree Celsius has a pH value of 7, in which it is defined as neutral, a solution that is not acidic nor basic in nature. Hence, pure water can be a buffer for the pH test.

Another buffer that can be used is a known pH value solution beforehand, usually a strong acid or base solution. This way, we can determine in what range our tested solution is in and gain more accurate results.

The scale of pH range is not absolute as there exist superacid and superbase which fall outside the usual pH range of 0 to 14. There is a proposal to unified all the pH values for other types of a solution by using a model called Lewis acid-base definition that proposes the common proton reference standard.

Acid solution and Basic solution

As we previously mentioned before, lower pH (Potential of Hydrogen) value means more acidic a solution is and vice versa. Basically, an acidic solution contains free hydrogen ion while basic solution contains hydroxyl ion. Usually, the chemical formula for acid starts with [H] as seen with hydrochloric acid or HCl, while basic solution or alkaline base usually ended with [OH] as seen with sodium hydroxide or NaOH. There is also a statement that pushes acidity as sour-tasting in mouth and basic solution as bitter and slimy. However, this is not a safe method to be tested on random acid and alkaline solution.

Acid and base solutions are corrosive in nature, though they depend on the strength of the solution itself. Corrosive in this context means it can react with substances and tissues, damaging them in the process. Hence, the acid and basic solution are to be handled with care especially strong acid and basic solution.

Strength of pH Scale (with example)

Continuing with our topic, usually pH scale is ranging from 1 to 14. Strong acid and alkaline will be categorized as being able to completely dissolves in water. This is because water itself is such a weak acid albeit having a minuscule effect. However, there is some compound that can be called superacid and superbase that has pH value outside of the normal range. These compounds are usually made in the lab and do not occur naturally. The reason for such deviation exists outside the normal range is because pH (Potential of Hydrogen) value itself is dimensionless since the scale is logarithmic in nature.

Let us take a look at everyday objects and chemicals to get a figure on how the scale works. Starting with the chemical we are all familiar with, the car battery. It is a simple chemical process that supplies energy in form of electricity due to the potential difference between two solutions. Chemicals used inside are just water and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is represented by chemical formula H2SO4 and has a pH value of 0. Moving on we have our lemon juice or citric acid, C6H8O7 at pH value around 2. A pure black coffee has a pH value of 5, whereas seawater is basic with a pH value of 8. Standard baking powder will have a pH value of 9.5, while your strong drain cleaner will have the highest pH value of 14.

What are the Uses of pH?

The value of pH certainly played a big role in our life even if humanity never discovered it. There are certain theories that life could be different or do not exist at all if the Earth in its early stage does not have the right pH value in its ocean. Similarly, the human body is regulated to be around a pH of 7.4 at all times, slightly basic. Deviating from this value will present harm to the body.

The value of pH is also needed for agriculture purposes. Good soil is considered to be ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 in pH value. The water that comes to our house is maintained to be ranging from 6.5 to 8.5 of the pH value.

We often hear in news about river or ocean pollution, but little if ever is mentioned about pH value in those news flash. However, there is no doubt pH value plays an important role in our ecosystem. For example, thanks to seawater being slightly alkaline in nature, they help the current ocean’s carbon cycle. Thus, with evidence of carbon dioxide emissions helped in the ocean becoming more acidic, it is not known how big the impact will be, although some simulation suggested undesirable results from this process.

The use of Potential of Hydrogen (pH) is really important across many industries such as agriculture, industrial processes, treatment of waste-water, and any more. The pH value shows us the chemical conditions of a solution and is an important quantity for it. It can control the behavior of chemicals, biological functions, the nutrients availability, and microbial activity as well.

Conclusion

Based on our discussion above, we find out that pH is integral in our life. While it is a complex subject to dive into, it is also an interesting one to learn more about. For example, a different part of human bodies has different pH values. This range of value is maintained through a process called acid-base homeostasis in which they are tightly regulated. Hence, disturbing this balance by consuming too much acid or base in food can result in many problems to the body itself.

Without a doubt, pH is an important topic that is closer to us than what we think at first and should not be undermined with any other subjects. By studying the various chemical processes involved in nature such as how our body regulates its pH value, we are one step closer to unravel the mysteries of life.

Introduction

'Let me know' is a common idiom used by most English speakers all over the world. It majorly sources information when a particular target has been met, for example: let me know when you get home. In this case, the goal 'when you get home' holds the information concerning the arrival time or safety.

When you say 'Let me know', it may not necessarily mean 'tell me' even though both idioms target a piece of particular information. By saying, 'Let me know' you declare to your listener, then you are waiting for the response no matter how long it takes.

What is the meaning of 'LMK'?

The idiom can have several meanings based on how it has been used in a sentence. It generally refers to a request for knowledge about the future with the implication that the other person doesn't know the information yet. For instance, in a conversation between a caller and a child may go as follows;

Child: hello, mum is not around.
Caller: Let me know when your mum comes back.

In the above conversation, the caller wants to know when the child's mum will be around even though the child doesn't see the information yet. It's important to understand that the idiom 'let me know' cannot change the meaning of a sentence but gets its purpose from the sentence where it has been used.

What does LMK stand for?

LMK stands for Let Me Know

Where to use LMK?

The phrase was initially used to escape answering a question.
For example:-
Que: When a friend said, "we are having a party tonight, are you coming?
Ans: Then you could say, "let me know" I will arrange a car.
Other usages of the idiom in a sentence vary depending on what you want to attain or communicate, for instance;

• To request clarification from the unclear decision: when you invited a friend for a party, and he is not showing up, you could call him and say, Let me know if you are coming.
• To ask for information urgently: when you want to buy an item in a shop, and you are not sure of the price, you could say, let me know the price of this product.
• It can be used with the word 'please' to ask for a favor: if you want a friend to pay you a visit over the holiday, you could say, please let me know if you can find time over the holiday and visit me.
• To get a signal for successful completion of a particular activity: a teacher can tell his students, let me know if you are done with your assignments' to get alerted after the successful completion of the assignments.
• To show an imperative: Doctor – "…my car got a puncture, am not sure if I can reach there in time" patient – "let me know"

What does LMK mean on Instagram?

Instagram is a chatting platform where people interact, know each other, and then 'follow. Let me know in this platform means to get back to me with a response, update, or answer. For example;

Person A: LMK if you are ready for a video call tomorrow.
Person B: Okay, thank you.

The phrase also means,' tell me what you know.' When you are chatting with a friend, for instance, and he asks you to name the deepest lake in the world. If you are not sure, you would say, 'let me know' to give the friend chance to express his answer based on his understanding.

Examples of LMK

Below are some of the examples of LMK in a sentence:

• If you need to borrow some money for your project, just let me know, and I will be glad to help you out (give me a signal to help you with the cash).
• If there is something I can come with over the weekend, don't waver to let me updated (inform me before it's too late).
• Please use the car indicators to let me know when you are about to turn right or left or when you are want to change lanes (give an idea of what you are planning to do).

How do you use LMK?

LMK (let me know) can be used at the start of the sentence or the end of the sentence without changing its meaning. For example;

• LMK if you are willing to help me with my assignments (used at the start of the sentence)
• If you are eager to help me with my duties, LMK (used at the end of the sentence)

In both the sentence, you are telling the listener to get back to you with an update.

• The object' me' in the phrase can be replaced with a different object depending on the subject. For example, the object may take the form 'him' when the subject is 'him.'
• He is not coming tonight, let him know of tomorrow's meeting (the subject 'he' takes the object 'him')
• You don't have to come; I'll let you know of tomorrow's schedule (the subject 'you' take the object 'you').
• She is a good girl, let her know of our plans (the subject 'she' takes the object 'her')
• They won't understand your policies, let them know of every instruction you want them to follow (the subject 'they' take the object 'them')

Other related slangs?

Several related slangs have a similar meaning as LMN, and they can be used in place of LMN in a sentence. Some of the examples include;

• Keep me updated/keep me in the loop/keep me informed: I won't make it to the meeting tomorrow, so keep me updated on the proceedings.
• Let me know your thoughts: I am not sure of your capability, so let me know your thought.
• Enlighten me: when you are informed of the price, please enlighten me.

CONCLUSION

Several people use idioms in their daily conversations, and the main ideas for such usage are to keep the conversation short, clear, and to the point. Phrases also help in chatting majorly with friends to communicate a large volume of information with little typing.

History of TBD

TBD has many variations like to be decided, to be determined, or to be declared. These are very widely used in planning a situation to indicate that something is scheduled or going to be scheduled or expected or decided. "To be determined" is a student run-interdisciplinary journal of theory founded at Acadia University that gives this private discussion a public pulpit. 

This abbreviation makes your conversation sound more comfortable in a kind of place where the working environment is professional and matters are dealt informal manner. Therefore some kind of these words is derived to make communication sound perfect which does not affect others adversely in the context of the words. 

Other similar phrases, such as identifying, arranging, organizing, or announcing, are used with the same abbreviations. TBD was reported in early 1967. 

What is the meaning of TBD?

As per the above description, it is very well clear that it is a common phrase used in conversational languages as which has a general meaning " to be determined". It simply describes a situation where a part of the process is yet to be decided or arranges as far as used in the context of the business. In business, it is used as some schedules of the meetings, arrangements, and other business dealings whereas this is not limited to a particular area it can be used in different areas of work in a different context. 

TBD can also be used in different ways as the word 'D' also stands for "declared", "decided" or "developed" also. The other meanings are - to be done, to be discussed, to be defined, to be discontinued, to be destroyed but these are subject to casual conversation which may be accepted as per the environment of the business.

What does TBD stand for?

TBD stands for to be determined specifically but there are some more abbreviations that can be an alternate of this and these are like"to be decided", "to be discussed", "to be done", or "to be declared". The word TBD is used without any prescribed limits and it has a broad context therefore there are many other abbreviations that sound different but conveys a similar meaning as TBD conveys. 

TBA ( to be announced), TBC ( to be confirmed), TBP (to be provided), or TBR ( to be resolved), these abbreviations are also developed to support the conversation. These phrases are also popular enough that it is also a part of the business communicational language. 

How do you use TBD?

The use of TBD depends on the situation in which you are dealing with. As it is formally used in the business environment to convey the meaning which is going to be settled but it is commonly used informally also where it helps to interpret the meaning the same as in the organizations.
