What is a raster scan display device with example?

The Raster scan system is a scanning technique in which the electrons sweep from top to bottom and from left to right. The intensity is turned on or off to light and unlight the pixel. The beam is swept back and forth from the left to the right across the screen. When the beam is moved from the left to the right, it is ON. The beam is OFF, when it is moved from the right to the left. When the beam reaches the bottom of the screen, it is made OFF and rapidly retraced back to the top left to start again. A display produced in this way is called raster scan display.


Is it okay to use a 5 volts amp DC power supply with a device that says it needs 5 volts 2 amp?

It looks like the crucial number was left out of the question, between the words "volt ... amp DC". If the device says it needs 5 volts at 2 amp, it will run safely on any DC power supply rated at 5 volts and (2 or more) amps.


Can you use a 12 volt 5 amp power supply on a 12 volt 2 amp device?

Absolutely.As long as the converter (or any power source) is rated at the same voltage, with more current than the device needs.Sometimes, a device may have a higher initial current surge than it's operating current, keep this in mind. Some converters do a good job handling momentary surge, some don't.


What was the important invention of Alfred and nobel and what did he leave in his will?

Alfred Nobel's important invention was the Nobel Prize. In his will, he left dynamite. This comic restatement more accurately expresses reality than the expected answer, which is that he invented dynamite, to the greater sorrow of the world, and left money in his will for the establishment of a Peace Prize by way of atonement.

What is left ventricular perfusion?

Left Ventricular dysfunction-A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.


What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?

The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
