What radio frequency is used for 802.11g?

2.4GHz microwave, a band assigned for low power unlicensed users (including microwave cookers) that must tolerate interference from any other user of the band, even if the interference makes them inoperative.

I think g is also allowed on 4.8GHz microwave.

How the computer has an impact on labor force?

computer has the higher efficiency than a human, it's productivity level can be almost twice of human. for an example, calculation speed of a computer is almost ten times or more faster than a human brain, in some other ways like designing and creating also much more faster than human.

Who designs new computers?

Computer designers that work for the big companies like Apple, or Mac, or Microsoft....

Is AutoCAD used in engineering?

Yes, AutoCAD is used in many engineering fields to create drawings and plans.

What is a CAD based knife plotter?

an instrument that cuts a pressure-sensitive design (such as a logo or lettering) from a sheet of perforated vinyl. This vinyl substrate (the material on which the actual sign information is contained) can then be attached to a signboard

The second highest paying job in Ireland is film directors of either independent or big overseas companies with pay peaking at around 100,000 euros a year.

Construct a 16-to-1-line multiplexer with two 8-to-1-line multiplexers and one 2-t0-1-line multiplexer?

Type your answer here... D0-D7 on 1st 8to1, D8-D15 on 2nd 8to1, S0,S1,S2 to both. The output from 1st 8to1 is D0 on the 2to1, the output from the 2nd 8to1 is D1 on the 2to1 and S3 to the 2to1. The 2to1 provides the final 16to 1 mutiplexed output, OK?

Why practice sketching shapes when a Computer-Aided Design program can produce much more accurate Geometry?

Because sometime you don't always have a computer on hand so you have to resort to hand sketching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using microcontroller over microprocessor?

disadvantage: microcontrollers have got more comlex architecture than that of microprocessors so to understand it's functionality is quite difficult. advantage: microprocessors have got faster speed of execution than that of microprocessor.Also because of microcontroller embedded system got on the peak of it's development to make new electronc devices.

Who founded Rockstar Games?

Rockstar Games is owned by Take-Two Interactive. I believe that Take-Two Interactive founded Rockstar Games in 1998.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of cad?

Advantages:

Can be easily erased and changed

Can be zoomed in for more detailed sections

Can be copied and pasted many times

Depending on skill, can be neater

Can be quicker

Can be sent to elsewhere quickly

Can be stored in a safe place

Can be checked for measurements by the computer

Can easily mass produce identical products

Can work throughout the night so can produce product 24 hours a day

Disadvantages:

If computer problem, all data will be lost

If not checked properly, the object created can go very wrong

Can be very expensive

Can be hard to do and handling needs training

Since not manual, can be slightly irritating because if not familiar with technology, it is very hard to insure exactly what is wanted by the designer e.g. If wanted something engraved instead of cut, the line colour has to be changed into blue instead of red.

Sometimes you can't do everything you want to because the tools aren't available

Lots of people lost their jobs when CAD CAM originally came out

Five types of method support that can be provided by CASE tools?

Software engineering methods only became widely used when CASE

technology became available to support them. Suggest 5 types of method

support which can be provided by CASE tools.

What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Drafting program produced by Autodesk. Most people use it for slang like EX... "grab me a coke"...when really you want any soda....not specifically a Coca-Cola. Shows how much that program dominates the 2d CAD world

What does parenting mean in Lightwave 3D?

Parenting is a process used in animation that creates a hierarchy of special objects invisible to the camera (like nulls, bones or skelegons), that allow visible parts of models to move in relation to each other. The "parent" is the controlling object; at least one aspect of the "child's" movement is dictated by the parent. A model can have multiple parents and children (there are no grandchildren), and objects can be both a parent in the hierarchy as well as a child.

For example, if you want to animate a human arm using bones (or skelegons), the humorous (upper arm bone) will be a parent with a pivot point set at the model's shoulder. Another bone, attached with a pivot point at the elbow, will be the "child" to the upper arm bone. When the upper arm moves, the child (elbow and lower arm) will follow. The child can also be positioned independently, as long as it stays within certain parameters (like a real elbow).

A wrist bone is then attached to the lower arm, and will be a child of the lower arm. When the shoulder moves, the lower arm moves in relation to the upper arm, and the wrist moves in relation to the lower arm.

The concept is more difficult to explain in words than to demonstrate in a tutorial. For more information, see the Lightwave parenting tutorial in Related Links.

What are the differences between Image processing and computer vision?

§ Image processing tends to focus on 2D images, how to transform one image to another by pixel-wise operations, such as noise removal, edge detection, etc. whereas computer vision includes 3D analysis from 2D images.

§ As inferred from above, image processing does not require any assumptions, nor does it produce any interpretations about the image content, whereas computer vision often relies on more or less complex assumptions about the scene depicted in an image.

§ The output of image processing is another image whereas the output of computer vision is generally information in the form of a decision or data.

§ Image processing is a subset of computer vision.

What is the difference between section and elevation in civil engineering?

I was always taught that an elevation is looking at the side of something. You can show everything you would see from front to back and can include hidden lines for things behind.

A section however is what you would see if you cut an object. You would only show what you can see at the cut line nothing in front and nothing behind.

Like most things you can apply a bit of draughting licence. You can deviate from this a little for clarity or other reasons.

What is difference between A buffer algorithm Z buffer algorithm?

A z-buffer is a raster buffer that stores color and depth information at each pixel. The "z" in the title refers to the "z" plane in 3D space, which is traditionally thought of as the "depth" dimension.

The buffer initializes each pixel to the default color and an infinite depth. During the rendering process, when a color is written to a pixel, it first compares the current depth of the color in the pixel. If the new color is closer than the current color but closer than the clip plane (which is typically zero), the color is written and the depth updated.

In that sense, it's similar to the painter's algorithm, where the closer object covers the further object.

Here's the basic algorithm:

WritePixel(int x, int y, float z, color c)

if ( z < zbuffer[x][y] && z > 0 ) then

zbuffer[x][y] = z;

frameBuffer[x][y] = color;

end

The a-buffer uses the same algorithm for handling depth, but adds anti-aliasing. Each pixel contains a set of sub-pixels. During the write operation, the values are accumulated at the sub-pixel level. For the final pixel read, the final color is the sum of all the sub-pixels.

The algorithm was originally developed by Loren Carpenter (or Pixar) for the RenderMan renderer. The position of the sub-pixels in each pixel are randomly selected in space and time, which allows smooth blurring of moving objects. RenderMan dices geometry down to micropolygons (polygons approximately the size of a pixel), and then performs a coverage test to determine if a sub-pixel is covered by a micro-polygon.

However, this approach doesn't work with a more "typical" renderer, since they typically deal with points, which unlike micropolygons, have no surface area.

A common adaption of this algorithm is the accumulationtechnique, which renders an image multiple times, randomly jittering (moving) the position of the eyepoint by some small amount. The result of each rendering is accumulated and averaged into single buffer. This approach is made practical with a hardware accelerated renderer such as OpenGL. However, this approach is probably better thought of as supersampling rather than an a-buffer.

Design OF A fire fighting system for electrical control building?

we have to distinguish between firefighting and fire alarm system. fire fighting is mechanical work (either sprinkler system or Foam or CO2 or FM200) and there is fire alarm or detection system this is an electrical thing that includes ( detectors an fire alarm system) for electrical control building we use FM200.
