Digital Computers
A digital computer is designed to process data in numerical form (see digital circuit); its circuits perform directly the mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The numbers operated on by a digital computer are expressed in the binary system; binary digits, or bits, are 0 and 1, so that 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, etc., correspond to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Binary digits are easily expressed in the computer circuitry by the presence (1) or absence (0) of a current or voltage. A series of eight consecutive bits is called a "byte"; the eight-bit byte permits 256 different "on-off" combinations. Each byte can thus represent one of up to 256 alphanumeric characters, and such an arrangement is called a "single-byte character set" (SBCS); the de facto standard for this representation is the extended ASCII character set. Some languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, require more than 256 unique symbols. The use of two bytes, or 16 bits, for each symbol, however, permits the representation of up to 65,536 characters or ideographs. Such an arrangement is called a "double-byte character set" (DBCS); Unicode is the international standard for such a character set. One or more bytes, depending on the computer's architecture, is sometimes called a digital word; it may specify not only the magnitude of the number in question, but also its sign (positive or negative), and may also contain redundant bits that allow automatic detection, and in some cases correction, of certain errors (see code; information theory). A digital computer can store the results of its calculations for later use, can compare results with other data, and on the basis of such comparisons can change the series of operations it performs. Digital computers are used for reservations systems, scientific investigation, data-processing and word-processing applications, desktop publishing, electronic games, and many other purposes.

What is Modal fiber What is the characteristic?
Here is what it says on the Wiki page:"Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. It is about 50% more hygroscopic, or water-absorbent, per unit volume than cotton is. It is designed to dye just like cotton, and is color-fast when washed in warm water. Modal is essentially a variety of rayon[1]."See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_(textile)
What are the key steps involved in conducting a finite element modal analysis?
The key steps in conducting a finite element modal analysis include: Creating a finite element model of the structure Applying boundary conditions and material properties Solving the eigenvalue problem to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes Post-processing the results to analyze the dynamic behavior of the structure.

What are the parts of the dialog box in the computer?
A dialog box consist of *A title bar, just like any other window; usually contains the name of the program or something like "Error" or "Warning". Unlike a normal window, dialog boxes are usually "modal" (meaning you can't switch from it; it just beeps in your face instead) and don't have the small icon in the top left. *The title bar also has a close button, though it is almost always grayed out. *A "body" that is basically the core of the dialog box; it contains text, controls (buttons, check boxes, drop-downs, etc.), and sometimes icons pictures, *Several buttons along the bottom. These buttons are so common that they're almost standardized. These usually come in groups, like [OK]-[Cancel], [Yes]-[No], [<Back]-[Next>], [Abort]-[Retry]-[Ignore], etc.
Primary functions of the main menu?
The main menu is an element of computers and information appliances. It is a part of the user interface that allows users to interact with the machine. The primary purpose of the main menu is to organize the types of interactions (e.g. commands, operations, requests, outputs, configurations, etc.) that are possible between the user (usually a person) and the machine/computer itself. The main menu is the first layer of abstraction - or virtual organization - into which the entire set of interactions/commands are grouped. If this menu is organized in a way that most users will intuitively understand, then that menu is considered useful. However, it is difficult to create a main menu (or any menu) that will be intrinsically understandable by the many types of users in the world. The main menu has to be designed for users who have never used a computer, for those who are beginners, for those with visual impairments, for those with cognitive difficulties, and even for very experienced users who may prefer to bypass them. The concepts of a main menu were originally developed forty to fifty years ago, during the early years of the field of computer science. A main menu is now considered an archaic user interface technique, are not found in simple to use yet powerful new computers and appliances. Main menus are still common on most computers and appliances. Most audio-visual equipment such as televisions have a main menu to help users configure them. Even some automobiles have used main menus to organize their vehicle information, audio, video, and navigation sub-systems. The most well-known main menus are those in the Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 operating systems - which have multiple main menus (the Start button and additional main menus for each opened application) - ironically this makes them more difficult for new users to understand. Modern information appliances such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the recent iPad don't use a main menu within their "operating system", instead favoring modal or other user interface designs (though individual apps can use menus).
