== == A walkman is a music playback device produced by Sony. Originally in the 1980's the walkman came out as a portable cassette player. Sony later developed a portable compact disc player (usually called a discman). And sony uses the marketing term walkman to brand their whole mp3 player line they produce.
Sony also uses the name for Sony-Ericsson music phones.
Sony has unveiled a new Walkman at last years CES convention. This walkman has a touch screen. It comes in a 16GB and a 32GB model Answer Walkman is an audio cassette player used to market its portable audio and video players. The original Walkman introduced a change in music listening habits, allowing people to carry their own choice of music with them.
What is a transistor composed of?
SILICON or common sand with doping of the right ratio to make a transistor.
three layers of semiconductor material
Is an AAA battery an rechargeable battery?
There are rechargeable AA batteries that are sold.
One should NOT attempt to charge regular AA batteries. This can result in the batteries leaking or exploding. Charging regular batteries can result in injury or fatality in a number of ways including fire. If they do not say rechargeable then they are probably not chargeable.
What are the Disadvantages and advantages of vending machines?
the machine can take your money and not give what you asked for back, hope this helps x
1 yard is 36 inches, 3 feet long or 914mm long (0.914 meters)
No its not. I bought a 55 inch led from walmart and it got messed up after having it for 3 years.
What is streaming an audio file?
That term is used when you receive data on the computer while you use it, as opposed to downloading a complete file and THEN using it. For example, when you listen to online radio, you don't need to download a complete MP3 (or similar) file first, to listen to it.
What are copper losses in a transformer?
Copper losses are purely voltage-drop losses (I squared R) caused by the resistance of the windings, as opposed to hysteresis losses and eddy current losses (so-called iron losses), which are magnetic in nature. They are called copper losses whether the winding conductors are made of copper or not, by the way.
Thermal is a type of scientific term used in science. It is usually connected with a word so as an example: thermal energy = a type of energy or thermal socks = warm socks. Eventually you'll notice thermal has almost always something to do with heat and temperature. If you want to know what Thermal energy exactly is look up on this website .... all this asked for is " what thermal is"
How does a schmitt trigger work?
The schmitt trigger is an electronic comparator that has a slightly different voltage (or current) threshold for turning on than it does for turning off. This means that, once it turns on, it sticks on until the input signal decreases somewhat below the original turn-on point, and vice versa, once it turns off, it sticks off until the input signal increases somewhat above the original turn-off point. This is called hysteresis, and it effectively debounces the input signal and prevents short cycling.
Can you double-click on a sheet tab to change the name of the tab?
you right click on the tab and it'll say rename then you rename it to what ever you want
Yes batteries are a form of electricity know as DC or Direct Current. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries ,thermocouple's cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also be through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric charge flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current or AC.
How do you upload videos from your flip cam?
1. plug in flip cam
2. click "select all" after the unsaved videos load
3. click the button on the bottom that says "save videos to computer"
Brief history
One of the very first implements to straighten hair was called the straightening comb. There appears to be some confusion about who actually invented it as this initially was attributed to Madam Walker way back in 1905. However, this is NOT true. She was responsible for producing many hair care products and in fact she was the first self made female millionaire in the USA. Although she did not invent the straightening comb she did popularize its use amongst black women who she taught how to use the device. There is much evidence to suggest that straightening combs, hot irons were available as far back as 1872. And it was around this time a person called Marcel Grateau (a Parisian) who started using heated rods to straighten hair. This tool helped straighten the hair and caused less damage than other hair straightening techniques.
Heated combs were also used throughout the early days. The comb was placed in a special warming device until heated to the right temperature and then pulled through the hair. I've read many a story about these early straighteners and my mom remembers many an hour spent in her kitchen surrounded by the smell of burnt hair and scalp. Thank god for the Sedu ceramic. Since the 1870's the use of different metals and materials have been tried and tested. Aluminium was used on early straighteners and metal was obviously used along the way too. Nowadays most manufacturers, like Sedu, use ceramic and tourmaline which give great results. I'm sure the next generation of hair straightener will be made from even more weird and wonderful materials. How's about Kryptonite?
There are a great many conductors in the world. These conductors can include musical conductors and electrical conductors for example.
How do you delete programs off of the TI-83?
Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press ENTER. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted. Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press DEL. The calculator will then ask if you're sure you want to delete, so press 2:Yes. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted.

Public television broadcasting made its appearance in 1929 when the BBC started their first service from London. It was only a part time service and was just a single channel, delivering news and public information content for the first year or two. By the early 1930s they had moved on to entertainment as well as news.
In America, it took a little longer to start public broadcasting. Although there were several demonstrations, it wasn't until 1939 that RCA launched North America's first service.
Can you replace a CR2016 battery with a CR2032?
Both batteries are the same diameter and the same voltage. The CR2032 is twice as thick as the CR2016 and has a larger ah capacity. If the extra thickness is not a problem, the CR2032 will be a good replacement for the CR2016. Some mounting methods are thickness specific and others are not!
The mic is right next to the headphone jack on the top left of the iPad.
1.5 x the number of cells
eg.
1.5 x 6 = 9v
Where did electricity originate from?
Once there was a huge meteor that hit the earth. It killed all the dinosaurs and also made a large ammount of electricity. That electricity is the origin of all of the electricity on earth.
Do name brand batteries last longer than off brand batteries?
Brand names do not perform any better than cheaper brands. The only important factor in selecting batteries is that they are labeled as alkaline batteries and are not heavy duty. Heavy duty batteries are made poorly and don't last very long.
