Does soldering mean replacing?

No, soldering is a method of joining two pieces of metal by melting a different metal with a lower melting temperature into the joint.

Soldering and braising are similar methods but use different metals with a lower melting temperature. Braising metals melt at higher temperatures than soldering metals.

Soldering and welding are different methods. Welding actually involves melting the two pieces of metal being joined into each other. Welding may or may not also involve melting a "filler metal" into the joint.

How can I connect a MiniDV video camera to my laptop if it doesn't have a firewire port nor a PC card slot or express card slot for an adaptor?

There are generally speaking USB Cards which you can use to capture analog video from an RCA or SVIDEO but keep in mind this will be an analog to digital conversion. So you'll be loosing some quality in the capture. It is not idea but it can be done.

Check with your local stores. Ask for a USB video capture device.

How do you remove the computer viruses without an antivirus?

Manually, and with a great deal of time required. There are tools offered free on various commercial anti-virus sites which will target one specific virus, but these are not released for every virus and are very time consuming to use. I'd recommend getting a free antivirus if you are worrying about cost such as AVG Free, which will sort your system for you.

What is the Difference between 7200 rpm HD and 10000 rpm HD?

A 7200 RPM hdd spins at 7200 RPM, 10000 RPM spins at (you guessed it) 10000 RPM.

A 10000 RPM HDD should transfer data faster than a 7200, and apart from the WD "Raptor" series most 10000 RPM HDDs are high end SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) drives, and as such are built to a higher standard than IDE (Internal Drive Electronics) or SATA (Serial AT Attachment) drives.

How do you make an abacus?

To make an abacus, the first thing to do is to make a frame, the wooden edge around an abacus. Then add the separator, the wooden line about 1/3 at the top and 2/3 at the bottom. And then start making the coloum for the beads. Your abacus will then look excactly like this original Chinese abacus picture:Frame: the wooden edges around an abacus

Separator: the wooden line that stretches from the left to the right side of the abacus which separates the top and bottom part of the abacus

Coloumns: the thin wooden sticks which holds the beads

Who invented the touchscreen?

DR.SAM HURST

Elographics, Inc. was founded by ten stockholders in March, 1971, to produce Graphical Data Digitizers for use in research and industrial applications, with the principal being Dr. Sam Hurst. He was on leave from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to teach at the University of Kentucky for two years, where he was faced with a need to read a huge stack of strip chart data. It would have taken two graduate students approximately two months to do the task. He started thinking of a way to read the charts, and during the process, the "Elograph" (electronic graphics) coordinate measuring system and Elographics the company were born. The University of Kentucky Research Foundation applied for and was granted a patent on the Elograph. The Foundation granted an exclusive license to Elographics.

Dr. G. S. "Sam" Hurst (left), founder of Elographics, Inc. The Elograph was selected by Industrial Research

as one of the 100 Most Significant New Technical Products of the Year 1973.

In 1971, after returning to Oak Ridge, Dr. Hurst gathered nine friends from various areas of expertise to start a company to refine, manufacture and sell this new product. At this point Elographics truly began as a basement business. All work was done from three different basements; sensors in one, electronics in another, and cabinets in still another. The office was located in the home where the sensors were being built before moving to Four Oaks Center in February of 1972. The parts of the product were still being produced in basements at night and on weekends and brought to Four Oaks where they were assembled and shipped.

Elographics focused on research and scientific markets and produced products that met the specific needs of these markets. These needs included completely self-contained units with adjustable scale factors, decimal readouts, and interfaces to computers and many calculators. The digitizer products were used worldwide in a variety of applications including research, medicine and quality control.
