Identify 3 common variants of computer mouse?
Track ball Track pad Integrated Pointing Device
What are the variants of a computer mouse?
The variants of computer mouse are: Track pads Trackballs and pointer Integrated Pointing Device
How many sectors make up a track?
A track on a storage device typically consists of multiple sectors. The exact number of sectors on a track can depend on the specifications of the device, but it is typically in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand sectors per track.
Is a track ball input or output?
The trackball would be an input device. Any device that takes information from the outside world into the computer is an input device. Any device that takes information from the computer and gives it to the outside world (such as a monitor or printer) is an output device.
How does tracking a vehicle work?
You can install a GPS - tracking device in your car. After installing software on your computer, you can pull it up to track where you can track it at anytime.
Can you use the samson co1u microphone with the m-audio fast track?
No, The CO1U is a USB microphone (USB Device) and will only work with computers (USB host). The USB port on the Fast Track is a USB device port for transferring recordings to a computer.
What is a parity track?
It's a track (a section of a magnetic disk, or a section of any given storage device that emulates a magnetic disk that uses the the LBA/CHS[Cylinder, Head, Sector]) that the computing device dedicates to store parity data (data to aid in error verification/correction for data that is stored on the disk).

What is an applicant tracking and how does it work?
An applicant tracking can work in many different ways. It is a device that help keep a track of many different applicants in a company or the economy. It's a device used on the computer system.
Write detail note on secondary storage devices?
Secondary storage (also known as external memory or auxiliary storage), differs from primary storage in that it is not directly accessible by the CPU. The computer usually uses its input/output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage. Secondary storage does not lose the data when the device is powered down---it is non-volatile. Per unit, it is typically also two orders of magnitude less expensive than primary storage. Consequently, modern computer systems typically have two orders of magnitude more secondary storage than primary storage and data are kept for a longer time there. In modern computers, hard disk drives are usually used as secondary storage. The time taken to access a given byte of information stored on a hard disk is typically a few thousandths of a second, or milliseconds. By contrast, the time taken to access a given byte of information stored in random access memory is measured in billionths of a second, or nanoseconds. This illustrates the significant access-time difference which distinguishes solid-state memory from rotating magnetic storage devices: hard disks are typically about a million times slower than memory. Rotating optical storage devices, such as CD and DVD drives, have even longer access times. With disk drives, once the disk read/write head reaches the proper placement and the data of interest rotates under it, subsequent data on the track are very fast to access. As a result, in order to hide the initial seek time and rotational latency, data are transferred to and from disks in large contiguous blocks.When data reside on disk, block access to hide latency offers a ray of hope in designing efficient external memory algorithms. Sequential or block access on disks is orders of magnitude faster than random access, and many sophisticated paradigms have been developed to design efficient algorithms based upon sequential and block access. Another way to reduce the I/O bottleneck is to use multiple disks in parallel in order to increase the bandwidth between primary and secondary memory.[3]Some other examples of secondary storage technologies are: flash memory (e.g. USB flash drives or keys), floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, punched cards, standalone RAM disks, and Iomega Zip drives.The secondary storage is often formatted according to a file system format, which provides the abstraction necessary to organize data into files and directories, providing also additional information (called metadata) describing the owner of a certain file, the access time, the access permissions, and other information.Most computer operating systems use the concept of virtual memory, allowing utilization of more primary storage capacity than is physically available in the system. As the primary memory fills up, the system moves the least-used chunks (pages) to secondary storage devices (to a swap file or page file), retrieving them later when they are needed. As more of these retrievals from slower secondary storage are necessary, the more the overall system performance is degraded.
