How does OLED work on TVs Is it is really possible to show images on a screen so thin.?

OLED stand for organic light emitting diode. Like conventional LEDs, each diode emits light. Put a red, green and blue LED together and they are able to create any color. Because the LEDs emit light, they do not require a separate back light component so the screen depth can be reduced significantly.

LED screens have been used for many years in open air and arenas. The very compact form of organic LEDs offers opportunities to use LEDs in compact, domestic sized televisions. Because of the simpler construction, it is likely that LED television will become norm in just a few years from now.

How can you use ableton live with virtualdj at the same time?

It depends on what you want to do by using them togheter...there is a software called "Virtual audio cable" (not freeware) that allows you to connect "virtually" the output of virtualdj into a input in Ableton live, so that you can use virtualdj as an audio source for further equalizations or for automations. You can also invert the path from Live to virtualdj. I don't know anything like virtual audio cable for free, but it costs 22 $ and you can download a working demo.

Can you convert an am radio into FM?

Yes, you can. You need to make an FM receiver and attach it to the receiver coil. You'll need to install a switch so you can switch between them, as well.

What are the misuses of statistics?

The misuses of statistics are too numerous to list. One of best books published on this subject, "How to Lie with Statistics", by Darrell Huff, published in 1954 is still in print, much longer than any textbook on the subject of statistics. An excellent starting point, but certainly not the only source on the subject, is wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_statistics Statistics, if I narrowly define it, as values resulting from numerical calculations made from a set of data, are not the problem. Any set of collected data will have just one mean value, one standard deviation, and other measures. The measures can be easily checked and verified. But in a broader context, the discipline of statistical analyses, includes the planning of data collection, the verification of collected data, the assessment or evaluation of potential errors in collection and results, and misinterpretation, either intentionally or unintentionally. The discipline of statistics when correctly applied is an unbiased interpretation of data in a critical manner. But, if the interpretation fits pre-conceived ideas, then frequently the critical examination is neglected. Some statistical analyses fit the category as simply speculative or controversial conclusions. Our first look at data, is with graphs, and the art of biasing graphs for the sake of making them more supportive our conclusions - is part of the misuse of statistics. See: http://www.roofable.com/2007/10/03/how-to-lie-with-graphs-the-ny-times-as-real-estate-case-study/ You will find many other examples by doing google searches in the internet.

Nib nbox HDTV hd media-player review?

NBOX is a standard definition digital media player that supports playback of a wide variety of video files up to 720x576 in resolution. It does have a 720p component video output, so it is capable of performing the necessary up-scaling. The results are about what you can expect from a very good DVD player.

The NBOX is what's known in the industry as a "reference design" product in that it uses the basic hardware and firmware design produced by the chip set manufacturer. It is based on the popular Amlogic AML8613 chip set, and uses the standard firmware (except for the additional NBOX logo). Being a reference design product, it works well and offers the basic features, but it lacks some of the more advanced features such as HDMI output or internal HDD drive bay that can be found on other players.

The NBOX is suitable as an inexpensive general purpose media player that can replace low end DVD players, provide a similar level of visual quality, while taking up much less space. It's cheap enough that you can have multiple units throughout the house.

What does net mean in ham radio?

Net is short for network. It is a group of organized radio stations meeting on a set time/frequency to exchange information etc. For example, every night a 8:00 p.m. our club runs a net where individuals tune into a set radio frequency to allow for announcements, messages or emergency information to be exchanged. By meeting each night on a schedule, if there was a disaster or failure of communications, each member would know that at least once per day there would be an set time/place to meet to get or send information to each other.

What did the first skateboard look like?

My best guess is that it was probably a piece of 1"X6" board, attached to a couple of roller skate wheels that some kid put together with nails and a hammer in the garage.

In the old days, roller skates were a clamp on type that had a metal frame which you could attach to your shoes. The front wheels and the rear wheels were uwsually made of steel for sidewalk use and could be separated, leaving a bit of metal framework for each set of wheels. If one of the pair of skates broke, there wasn't a lot you could do with a single skate.

Kids are inventive. Need I say more?

actually it wasnt a kid that invented it it was a guy named bill Richard. him and some roller blade company did that. then a women tha owned a surfing company decided to start making them her name was Makaha she was one of the manufacters. and it wasn't intill the 1950's that they where frist invented and then just went from there. Google that it up it exists. anyway it wasn't with hammer and nails either otherwise the wheels wouldn't turn or even move. plus it wasnt that old as u can see from what i put up earlyer, and yes i agree with that kids are inventive but i don't think they would have the brain power at that time to invent somthing like that, that actually worked. so for all u skateboarders who love to skateboard say thanks to bill Richard. he's the one that made it all possible. Also in the 1950's back then it was called "sidewalk surfing".. just somthing i thought u all should know.

Having made skateboards from skates in the 1950's I can tell you exactly how it was done. Many of us had Roller Derby-type skates in those days - the kind that clamped onto your shoes. We'd first removed the clamps on the front of the skates. Using a hacksaw, we cut off the heel of the skates. Now we have a flat surface to work with. Yes, we used nails and just bent them over the skates attaching them to a 1x6 board. We'd use a wood saw to round the front and back of the board. If you were lucky, somebody's Dad in the neighborhood had a drill with metal bits. If you had that, then you could drill holes in the skates and mount the skates to the board with screws rather than nails. This was a much more sturdy design. The rear of the skate was attached to the rear of the skateboard and the front of the skate was attached to the front of the skateboard. Finally, leaning to one side or the other did not result in a sharp turn, at least not that you could make a corner on a sidewalk at the end of the street. We removed or cut-down in size the rubber piece on each skate truck. That did the trick but it also made the skateboard much more unstable. You could fall much more easily but you sure could make a turn well. We'd decorate them with paint. We did this about 1957 in Hermosa Beach, California. We had some hairy rides down 8th Place toward Pacific Coast highway. Those were the days.

What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel with a circuit?

SMOKE!!! Yiii-haaaa! An ammeter is always as low a resistance as possible. That way, the current that you measure in a circuit using the meter will be the same as if the meter were not there. So putting an ammeter in parallel with a circuit means that you just short circuited the circuit you were intending to measure. Poof! There goes your ammeter!
An ammeter has a very low internal resistance. So, if it is connected in parallel with a load, it will short-out that load. The resulting high current flowing through the ammeter may severely damage the meter (and possible harm the user), although most are fitted with fuses to protect them.

Can you put metal in a convection microwave combo?

No.

Well, I own a Panasonic convection micro combo- given to me without the original users instructions. I reheated one of those white paper Asian food carry-out containers that are stapled on the sides (metal staples) for 1 minute and the container was absolutely fine. Now I don't know about large metal objects, but just in case anyone wants to know I thought this might help.

Here's a suggestion. Let the manufacturer make the call on this one. No one on this board can tell for sure without the owners manual or the model number of the machine in question (so one could look at the owner's manual). "No" is a safe answer, but it may not be correct. A combination machine like the convection microwave has expanded cooking capabilities, and anyone who ponies up for one of these puppies should know whether or not something like foil can be used inside it. Some microwave ovens allow a bit of foil over a portion of a food item being cooked, like the ends of drumstick on a bird. If the manufacturer's manual is not handy, it may be possible to go to the manufacturer's web site and actually view it online. Certainly the pamphlet can be had by ordering it. Get the manual. Read it. There might be several things in there that weren't obvious. Like whether or not foil can be used in the oven.

A link is provided to the USDA page with microwave use and safety suggestions. Surf on over and scroll down to the section on the use of foil and see what they have to say.

Yes you can, if using the convection component. It's just like an oven - same pots and pans, except the cook time is shorter due to the fan system. You do need shallow pans. I cook biscuts on the bottom of the pan. Just flip it over. It makes yummy biscuits. Change oven recipes to shorter times than conventional ovens. Things cook faster in a convection oven.

How do you fix static from a radio?

This is not a joke. Hey, this may sound really weird but I was having suddenly a great deal of static on my AM radio at home. This has gone on for weeks. Well, the other day I set a spray can of Old Spice "Red Zone" deodorant next to and touching the radio. The static was gone. When I pick up the can the static comes back. The can has to be placed at exactly the right spot where the internal antenna is. The can looks like brushed aluminum. I've tried other things but only this works. I have no idea why it works, but it does. I know this sounds weird but it works for me.

I guess so I wish my radio could do that!!!

When I folded my flip phone on the antenna it worked too.
