Some Common Storage Devices


Hard Drive

The hard drive is the primary device that a computer uses to store information. The hard drive stores programs, data files, saves files, and organizes files. The hard drive is located inside the computer case. The hard drive, magnetically stores data on stacks of rotating disks called platters.

A computer system unit contains many parts.


Motherboard - The motherboard is the main circuit board of a microcomputer. It is also known as the mainboard or system board.

CPU - The CPU is the central electronic chip that determines the processing power of the computer.

Memory - Memory is the part of the computer that temporarily stores applications, documents, and stem operating information.

Bus - A bus is an electronic line that allows 1s and 0s to move from one place to another.

Expansion Slots - Expansions slots appear on the motherboard. They are sockets into which adapters are connected.

Ports and Connectors - A port is a connector located on the motherboard or on a separate adapter.

Bays - A bay is a space inside the computer case where a hard drive, floppy drive or CD-ROM drive sits

Power Supply - A power supply changes normal household electricity into electricity that a computer can use.

Sound Components - A sound card lets a computer play and record high quality sound.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)


Does all of the work for the computer

  1. Does all of the mathematics, mainly addition
  2. Does all the logical comparisons of values
  3. Directs the flow of data in a computer
  4. Controls the operation of the parts of the computer

Today, all CPUs are microprocessors

  1. A microprocessor is a complete computer on a silicon chip
  2. A microprocessor does all of the functions of a computer
    • stores data and instructions waiting to be used
    • follows changeable instructions
    • does input, processing, and output

Laser printers (non-impact printer)



  • How the laser printer produces an image
    • A laser or LEDs make dots on a light sensitive drum
    • Toner (very tiny particles of plastic) stick to the drum where the dots where made
    • Paper is pressed against the drum and the toner is placed on the paper
    • The paper is heated and the toner melts into the paper
  • Produces the highest quality printout
  • For black and white printouts, very low cost per page
  • Printout is permanent
  • Color laser printers are still fairly expensive ($3,000 to $10,000)

Displays are flat and use plasma, LCD, active-matrix, or some other technology.


  • Monitors used to be called Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) because of the picture tube, which is a large vacuum tube.
  • A monitor or display produce a soft copy. When the device is turned off the information goes away.
  • Monitors are slowly being replaced by flat panel displays.

CD-ROM/DVD-ROM


  • Can be used to put both sound and images into a computer
  • Use a laser to read a Compact Disk (CD) or a DVD disk

Microphone


  • Used to put sound into a computer
  • Need sound recording software

Digital Camera


  • Used to take electronic pictures of an object
  • The pictures taken by a digital camera can be used directly by a computer

How to Install Windows XP on Netbook


Today the netbook is really famous and all of the manufactures like Asus, MSI, Axioo, Acer, Lenovo and many more built the netbook series which small, light and very portable for mobile users.


But the problem is the netbook is not featuring with DVD-RW to install many popular software and also the operating system like Windows XP. I know most of you still use Windows XP rather than Vista because of the compatibiliy and also the performance. So I search through internet and I find several useful tips how to install windows XP on your netbook like Asus EEE PC or Acer Aspire One also with the video.

Thanks to the USB flash drive which now have capacity more than 1GB and now you can use it to install windows XP through USB. From AllaboutEEEPC.com you must prepare several files and also the the detail steps.

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic Phone Review


The music of Nokia 5700 Xpress is a telephone 3G with quadruple-band GSM, it has a display improved of QVGA (Pixel 240×320) in 16 million colors, stereo Bluetooth plus an audio piece devoted to help with the playback of music. Nokia added all these devices while balancing 15 grams in addition to weight.


If Nokia 5700 XpressMusic look at familiar, there is then a good reason. To largely speak the 5700 is an update of the 3250 which early strikes last year market, dividing similar block of keys swivelling and the operating software of Symbian S60.

The world’s first flying robot defies gravity


Researchers at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, have developed the first flying robot giving micro-scale manipulation a new hope. This robot christened Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) is capable of moving and placing smaller objects with laudable meticulousness. The manipulation level this robot achieves is beyond human accuracy levels which is why this achievement is being hailed as special. The robot flies by defying gravity using magnetic field in the process and also uses remotely controlled magnetised micro-grippers courtesy laser focusing technology.

To enable high speed testing, the silicon chip is bonded to a printed circuit board (PCB) with low loss RF connectors. The PCB is also designed for DC bias control of MZMs and MUX/DEMUX phase tuning (see Fig. 2). In the high-speed testing, the differential RF signals from a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) generator with [231-1] pattern length are amplified using a commercially available dual-output driver. The amplified single-ended output of 3.2 Vpp (6.4 Vpp differential) is combined with 2VDC using a bias Tee to ensure reverse bias operation for the entire AC voltage swing. The MZI modulators are biased at quadrature for all the high-speed measurements.

Before RF characterization, we tested the optical spectra of the integrated chip. We obtained relatively good channel uniformity (<1.5>25 dB). For the data transmission experiment, we measured the eye diagram one channel at a time. Figure 3 shows the 25 Gbps eye diagrams of all eight channels. We see from Fig. 3 that all channels show similar performance. Clear open eyes at 25 Gbps suggest that the single chip is capable of transmitting data at an aggregate bandwidth of 200 Gbps.
