Scandisk is a diagnostic program which checks for incomplete files. It is usually run after a power interruption. Defrag is a program than reshuffles the data on the disc to collect together the fragments of files into larger chunks. This minimises the amount of time taken to read the files in the future.

What does 720 p mean?

720 p is the abbreviation for a category of HDTV video modes. There are 720 horizontal lines of display. p = progressive (non-interlaced) scan, a method used to reduce flicker.


What are the disadvantages of bus duct?

Bus ducts no doubt compact, need routine checks for loose connections at joints. Any loose connections is not easily visible (to infrared scan) since they are enclosed. A poor quality out door bus bar, water can enter. These factors can make the busbar vulnerable. Where as cables, are more easily maintainable and are low on investment. G.RAO


What is RF scanning?

Depending on how it is used, it can have different applications. However, RF scanning is where one runs a receiver through a series of radio frequencies (RF), and tries to identify a specific frequency. It can include illegal operations, such as RF scanning wherein a transmitter is used to transmit a scan to interfere with transmitters such as petrol pumps, or scanning to locate cell or wireless telephone transmissions. Or there can be harmless applications such as simply tuning a radio manually.


What type of device gathers and converts them into electronic form for use by the computer?

Gathers what? what is "them"? Im going to assume you mean print documents in paper form. The basic process is to scan the document and then use OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the scanned image to an electronic document. Depending on the scale of the project, there is hardware that can process thousands of documents as fast as you can feed it to the machine. In most cases the conversion process is imperfect because software cannot recognize bad or illegible writing as well as humans can. This is the reason that 'data entry' jobs are so readily available.

What are the differences between cscan and scan algorithms for disk scheduling?

The main difference between the C-SCAN and SCAN algorithms for disk scheduling is how they handle requests that are located at the end of the disk. C-SCAN moves the disk arm to the other end of the disk after servicing the last request, while SCAN moves the arm back to the beginning of the disk. This difference affects the order in which requests are serviced and can impact the overall efficiency of the disk scheduling algorithm.

Why you need to fragment your disk?

Fragmentation can occur when data is written and deleted from a storage device unevenly, causing files to be stored in non-contiguous clusters. This can slow down read/write speeds as the computer has to scan different parts of the disk to access a file. Fragmentation can be reduced by defragmenting the disk, which involves rearranging the data so that it is stored in contiguous clusters, improving overall system performance.

What is the efficiency of the C scan algorithm for disk scheduling?

The efficiency of the C-scan algorithm for disk scheduling is considered to be high. It is a variant of the scan algorithm that improves performance by reducing the seek time of the disk arm. The C-scan algorithm scans the disk in one direction only, which can lead to faster access times compared to other algorithms.
