What should I do with a Palm Z22?

More detail - I've been given it by a friend, but I don't need to use it as an organiser. Are there any interesting hacks? I'm reasonably handy with Linux and general mucking about with electronics, but I've not found any mention of being able to flash it.

Maybe I'll just use it as a paperweight.

How is sound transmitted and revived via telephone?

Cable connected landlines, rely on a DC voltage (about 24vdc) when connected on line (receiver lifted).

The microphone (mouthpiece) causes this DC voltage to alter in time with the audio. The receiver is a small loudspeaker, which causes the diaphragm to vibrate as the voltage varies.

How these things are accomplished has changed over the years.

The system that Edison used, and was used up until the 1960's, used a carbon granule microphone and a metal diaphragm earpiece.

The voltage on the line was passed through the microphone, which consisted of carbon granules in a capsule. A tin diaphragm was attached to one end of the capsule. Your voice moved the diaphragm and compressed the carbon, which altered in resistance. As the resistance altered so the voltage varied on the line.

At the other end, the voltage passed through a coil, which attracted a metal diaphragm. As the diaphragm moved, it moved the air near you ear and you could hear what was being said.

It only used two wires, The earpiece and microphone were connected in series.

These days electronics are used. The microphone is an electret condenser microphone, attached to the input of an amplifier. The earpiece is a miniture loudspeaker, attached to the output of an amplifier. The voltage on the line powers the system and also has the audio superimposed on it, via coils and capacitors in the circuit.

Can a 200mw red laser pointer burn paper?

You cannot physically damage a person's eye with a laser pointer. You can however, decrease the activity in the inner eye which relays a signal (blindness) after a period of time while staring into the laser. It is not strong enough to damage, but bright enough to cause dysfunction of your pupil.

Edit-A Class I laser is harmless in normal use, Class IV is extremely hazardous to skin and eyes. It all depends on the laser power.

It can also cause a nuclear detonation.

Why is it important to use less electricity?

Because every bit of electrical energy that you use has a price, and it had to be generated by something. If you fail to conserve, you'll be wasting money and resources. Common misconception: People tend to not think about the fact that everything is limited in some way, and harnessable energy on Earth with modern technology is not everlasting, so conserve.

What is the main cause of heat loss in a normal thermos flask?

How to make robot?

1. Decide what you want your robot to do.

2. Make an initial design on paper.

3. Break down the design into components based on their functionality.

4. Make an initial design of the components on paper.

5. Break down the component design into smaller components, based on functionality.

6. Make an initial design of THOSE components.

7. Continue breaking down the components into smaller and smaller components until each piece is planned.

8. Make a final design of each individual piece, calculating functionality, range of motion in angles, stresses in ft/lbs of loading and in torque, velocities both linear and angular, energy consumption, weight, and any other relevant information that will be necessary in the construction of your robot.

But the most important part is knowing what you want the robot to do. You design it, you plan how to build it and you implement it.

Can cold temperatures harm LCD TVs?

Extreme cold could damage the screen, also taking something electronic from a cold place and putting it in a warm place, then turning it on can sometimes fry circuits due to condensation inside the machine on the boards. When you take it out of the cold be sure to let it set for an hour or so just to get the whole thing room temp before turning it on.

What is the range of a cb radio?

In a line of sight condition about 5 to 15 miles, in hilly terrain it might be as low as a mile. CB radios come in many different power levels currently. My answer pertains to the old 27 mhz/5 watt type. The height of receiving and transmitting antennas matters most.

A CB radio is a citizen’s band radio — a radio that features the 40 channels in the 27 MHz range that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set aside for unlicensed public use, whether personal or commercial. By FCC regulations, CB radios are limited to 4 watts of transmission power. The official FCC statement is that the average CB radio range is 1 to 5 miles (1.6 to 8 km), but the actual average range may be greater — around 3 to 6 miles (4.83 to 9.66 km), depending on several factors.
