How much ash in one ton of antracite coal?
Approximately 10-15% of the weight of anthracite coal is comprised of ash. This means that in one ton of anthracite coal, you can expect to find around 200-300 pounds of ash. Ash is the residue left over after the coal is burned, consisting of minerals and non-combustible materials.
What would make a 2004 Mini Cooper S surge?
I have a 2004 Mini Cooper S JCW edition and last year the power steering pump failed. I replaced the power steering pump with one from auto zone (let's face it, bmw is way too expensive) and every since then the car has literally pulsed. It's like there is a drain on the battery (but that was checked and it's fine) because the car "surges" rhythmically and if the lights or the heat is on, the lights will dim every few seconds and the heat will be full blast then almost stop and then go back to full blast. And it's constant, it's done it since the original power steering pump failed. I took the car to a mini mechanic and they told me they don't know what is wrong with the car. Seriously? And it is gradually getting worse and makes me worry that it is something that could do a lot of damage to the car. It also runs hotter than usual and the mpg is not as good as before. So do you know what could be making my car do this? Thanks
How do i find a hidden microphone?
You can do this by following the below two approaches:
1. Call any person and sweep the entire room with the phone on your ears. If you hear a disruption in signal, then probably that may be due to the spike in electromagnetic field and that area is bugged. Then do a physical search in the area.
2. If you are getting really paranoid, then purchase a RF indicator and run around the room with that. It will give you more precise location of the microphone if it is in fact planted in your room.
The graphic structure of a bar code is very simple; it comprises only dark areas and light areas which humans see as the familiar "bars". These bars form a binary system of representation, in other words the barcode symbol has only two states -- "light" and "dark" --- there is no third state. The graphical simplicity means that it is very easy to place a barcode onto an object. Barcodes can cheaply and easily be printed onto many different materials. Because of this graphical simplicity it is also quite easy to create an electrical gadget that can "see" the barcode. The electronics of the gadget needs to be able to distinguish between "dark" and "light" and that is not technically difficult. Within the software of the gadget the barcode can be represented by a binary numbering system "1" and "0". Consequently it is very easy to interpret that number and convert it to the letters and digits that we humans usually read. Additionally a barcode can suffer quite a lot of damage before it becomes unreadable. The machine reading the barcode only needs to find a straight line (any straight line) between one end of the bar code and the other. That line can be diagonal. If it is possible to draw a line that crosses every bar and does not cross any smudges or gaps then the bar code can, theoretically, be read. There are many different bar code formats in use. Some of them can only represent numbers and some can also represent letters. Some barcode formats also contain extra information that can be used to check that the barcode has been read correctly. This means that if part of the barcode label is missing so that some bars are missing, the barcode read will know that what it is seeing is not a valid barcode. The machine that is reading the barcode can know immediately if it has seen a valid barcode or not. If it cannot see a valid barcode then it can immediately alert the operator of the machine so that they can correct the problem in some other way. These characteristics mean that in many situations a barcode is a very reliable way to transfer information because it is quite easy to avoid false reads and often even damaged barcode labels can still be read very easily. It is hypothetically possible to create a barcode of any length but, in practice, most barcode readers can only read quite short barcodes. Consequently barcodes are used where the information to be transferred is very simple. For example, most of the barcodes used on things that are bought in shops contain only eight, twelve or thirteen digits.

What are different types partition?
There are two types of partitions:
Primary partition: A primary partition is used to store (and boot) an operating system. You can store user data and applications here, as well. You can have up to four (4) primary partitions on one hard disk drive (HDD) at one time, but only one of those four can be labeled as an active partition (look below).
Active partition: An active partition is a partition that has an operating system installed on it and is used to boot your machine. If you have one primary partition, then it's labeled as "active." If you have more than one primary partition, then only one of them is labeled as "active" in a single PC session.
Why is an ms excel worksheet also called a spreadsheet?
In the accountancy world before computers we had large books or sheets in which we would spread information like costs, payments, taxes,.out going, and incoming payments etc out on a single, big, oversized sheet of paper to get a complete picture of the business. Then we would write in the figures against headings set up for income and expenditure. The we manually calculated the balance of the business finances. The term spread-sheet just transferred over when Bricklin and Frankston then co-invented or co-created the software program VisiCalc. The rest is now history

What makes LEDs more robust than other light sources?
LED's are made of solid clear plastic, encasing a junction of two semiconducting materials. Whereas most previous light sources involved delicate, glass, envelopes, enclosing either a hot wire or a vacuum of some sort.
LED's do not get hot and so last a lot longer.

Who makes a computer equivalent to Microsoft Surface Pro?
The Microsoft Surface Pro is a tablet while a computer is a computer. They are not the same thing. In fact, they are very different despite the hoopla that marketing professionals and some users try to promote. Think of it this way: a ball peen hammer and a sledgehammer both can hit things and drive them into other things but do they serve the same purpose? No. They are each tools that fit their own specific needs but are not designed to do each other's jobs.
A tablet of any type is designed to do certain things such as check email, browse websites, and have interactive audio/video conversations. A computer can do all this as well, of course, but it can also run applications, store massive amounts of data, provide an environment for software development, perform calculations such as in CAD or complex spreadsheets, interface with just about any type of peripheral, and much much more.
So, if you want a tablet so as to have something lighter for the intended purposes it can serve, go ahead and get a tablet. If you are thinking that it will be a substitute for a computer, forget about it and get a laptop or a desktop.

How many Kilowatts does it take to run a heater at 74 for 1 day?
This depends on a number of factors. Are you talking about a central furnace for the entire household or a space heater? How long is the heater being run each time it is turned on? How often does the heater need to turn on to maintain the temperature at 74 degrees? If it is a central furnace, is it fully electric or does it burn natural gas to heat the air that the electric blower cycles throughout the home? How big is the home (this helps in giving an idea of the size of central furnace and therefore the power requirements for the burner and the blower)? If the heater in question is a space heater, what wattage does it require at its chosen operating capacity? (For example, my space heater for my bedroom can use 1500 watts of power but if I set it to low heat, it burns only 600 watts instead.)
Without much more information, there is no way to give an appropriate answer to your question, unfortunately. What I can tell you is that in my home, since the weather has gotten cooler, I have seen my electric bill increase because of running the space heaters periodically. They seem to consume anywhere from 10 to 20 kilowatt-hours per day, depending on whether I am using one or two and how much they are used. Around this area, that equates to between $1.30 and $2.60 per day since power is about 13 cents per kilowatt-hour after all taxes and various fees are added into the bill.
How do you set up a 911 address on a nokia 521 with metropcs?
Setting up the 911 address of a cellular phone is typically handled by your cellular phone carrier and is associated with your billing address. However, if you initiate a call to 911, modern phones will feed your GPS location to the 911 operator at the time of your call or, in lieu of that, give your approximate location based on proximity to the nearest cellular towers. Additionally, the 911 operator will ask for your location for two reasons: to verify that it is not a prank call and to give the location of the emergency as a backup in case of delayed function of the two aforementioned technologies.
If you are permanently moving from your previous home, however, be sure to contact your cellular provider so that they have your updated address, especially if you have your bill automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card and/or you use paperless billing.
