What is computer logic gates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Logic gates are transistor circuits, normally arranged on a silicon base and encapsulated inside an integrated circuit. (chip).

Using several transistors wired together, their inputs can be arranged such that, for given inputs, the output will only change state for certain conditions.

The transistor switches are in either of two states, 'on' and 'off'. These are logic states 1 & 0 (one or zero), hence binary.

The logic uses Boolean algebra.

NOT, means it is 'not on', = OFF. This is abbreviated in the descriptions as the letter 'N'

A simple AND gate, means that the output is at level zero until both inputs have a level 1 voltage on them.

A NAND gate is a 'Not And' gate. The result is reversed. The output is always at logic level 1 until both inputs also have a level 1 also.

What is the maximum throughput of ADSL?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your top adsl speed is based up on different of factors.

Some of them are:

  • Distance between your local dslam and your router
  • Quality of your telephone line
  • Quality of your router
  • Using wifi access or not(since wifi is slower than using old fashioned cords)
  • Even your PC overall perfomance can increase or decrease your adsl speed(download or upload) since PC's with low ram capability or slow hard disk drives tend to give a bad influence to your maximum download adsl speed.

Why do you have slow ping times on your cable modem internet service?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a dial up line does not have nearly the bandwidth of cable or dsl. because of this data transmission is considerably slower then cable and dsl. because of this it takes longer for a ping to be sent and return to your computer. you can expect to get much faster pings with cable or dsl. This isn't exactly true. 'Bandwidth' and 'Latency' are different terms. The latency (or ping, if you want) behind dial-up connections actually lies behind the modem itself. This is why ISDN or DSL connections have a much lower latency compared to dial-up connections, despite them both using your phone line. A DSL connection capped to 56k (yes, it does exist) still has a much lower latency than a dial-up. The bottom line is, dial-up connections have a high latency due to the hardware used, rather than the bandwidth.

How do you convert analog signal to digital signal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Various analog to digital converters are available for this purpose. They are basically made up of operational amplifiers.

The other way is to convert the analog signal into samples. Then converting these samples into quantization levels. These quantization levels are then converted into 1s and 0s.

What is the full form of AD HOC in network?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An Ad Hoc network is a term used to discribe a network link directly between two computers using their network interfaces (wireless or wired). This would be an alternative to a more usual network setup where two or more computers would link up through a central network switch or hub. Normally Ad Hoc networks are created as a temp measure to achive a particular task like printing over Wireless or transfering files from one PC to another.

An Ad Hoc network wold not normally take the place of any other network already configured on a PC. Windows 7 for instance can remember and deal with many networks that have been setup on the PC.

What happens when you reset your iPhone 4S?

Asked by Wiki User

It'll shut down, then you'll hold the button to restart it, and it'll restart. A message saying "searching for service" will appear at the top for a few seconds, and that's that. Nothing terribly dramatic, I'm afraid.

Is nand gate a universal gate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NAND AND NOR gates are called universal gates , becaus with a combination NAND and NOR gates alone, it's possible to create all other logic gates like AND, OR, XOR etc and you can design any logic circuit. eg: inverter-- nand with inputs shorted.

and ------ nand followed by a inverter(using nand).

or--------- giving inverted inputs to nand gate.

Do you need a router for a wireless printer if you have a wireless laptop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you still need a router t hook up your wireless printer, but it's the same router you have that gives you wireless internet access for your laptop. The router is the Wireless Access Point (WAP) that allows all the wireless devices to connect together and gets it on the wireless system. Hope this helps.

-----

Not necessarily…

Wireless printer can be set up in 2 ways.

1. Infrastructure

2. Ad-Hoc

To set up the infrastructure, you need a wireless router where the printer can be used in more than one computer wireless and you can also use security levels in the router… in this case the computer can have wireless internet connected while trying to use the printer wireless…

For Ad-Hoc the printer can be set up with the computer without a router.., the printer need to be set up once but the connection should be activated every time when you want to print something…

Technical term for the kind of cable that carries a tv signal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two types of cable used for television radio frequency signals: 300 ohm twin lead flat cable and 75 ohm coaxial cable. The twin lead is typically used with a rabbit ears antenna and coaxial is typically used with roof top antenna or cable TV setups.

For television baseband video signals coaxial cables are usually used.

However for digital television baseband video signals these are not adequate and special cables (e.g. HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort) are used. These cables are typically many twisted pairs in a common shield.

answer is

Coaxial cable

Why does your isp need to know the mac address of your cable modem or dsl modem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The MAC address (Media Access Control) is used to identify a specific piece of network hardware, such as a network interface card (NIC), a router or a modem. Since your ISP will only wish to allow Internet access to paying customers, it can check the MAC address of your router against its list to see if it belongs to a valid customer. If you change your equipment, typically, your ISP will provide you with a process to register the new hardware's MAC address with them.

Is cable TV cable the same as the cable for satellite dish cable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the USA, now days it is. Before there were antennas to get TV signals from the air, and you could only get ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. Then came cable, wire and dish cable. Now there is only cable; dish and cable linkage. There is virtually no more antenna TV signals, and there are thousands of channels.

How do you know if your computer has a modem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very few modern computers have modems, due to the falling popularity of dialup modems. DSL and Cable modems are extremely rare as internal devices due to limited useability and the inability to network more than one computer or device to such a computer with ease.

If it has a dialup modem, there will be a port for a phone cord in it.

What are the advantages of internal modem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These devices server two purposes. The modem (more likely a Router if you use Broadband) connects you to the Internet. The Wireless part allows you to connect your PC to it. The advantages over a Wired Router is that a wired router requires you to connect your PC with a network cable. This restricts the position of your PC and Router as they both have to be within 5m of each other - or you invest in room to room cabling. The wireless connection allows you much more freedom as to where you locate your PC or laptop. The Wireless signal can travel through walls and ceilings so you do not need "line of sight" but it is restricted by the density of the walls and live electrical cabling. Wireless routers also allow you to connect other devices which do not have a network lead connection. This would include mobile phones, game consoles, television receivers etc.

What does download speed of 8Mb mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

8Mb is a form of speed. First off as a note, a single Byte is equal to eight Bites, which is why advertisements for Broadband companies like to use the Bites since it makes the number seem much higher. MB = MegaByte

Mb = MegaBit The capatalization of the B/b is very important as you see. Now one MegaByte is equal to 1000KB (Kilobyte), same rule works here with the capital B/b. One megabit equals to 125 KB (where 8 Mb = 1 MB)

Now for most small screen movies (youtube, etc) to play smoothly without breaking up takes about a steady 250-350KB/ps (per second). Speeds are not always constant since when trying to download it might sometimes come from a host in another country. In which case it has to be redirected through several countries and servers before the file reaches your computer. To see this in action, do the following: In Windows, select Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Enter the word tracert, followed by a space, then the domain name (i.e.- www.msn.com) http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/troubleshooter/traceroute.html
