Can an entire toothbrush be recycled?
Wash your toothbrush and use it forever.
A toothbrush has inadequate mass to consider it for efficient recycling.
What is a person called that works on a metal lathe?
People that work on a metal lathe are called a Turner, a Machinist or a Lathe operator depending on their trade or qualifications.
What's the longest an RFID chip can be read?
Depends on the antenna, frequency, the reader power, and the design.
Passive RFID's have a range from a few mm's to a few meters.
In general, low frequency = near field rf = short range, higher frequency = far field rf = longer range.
EPC HF near field tags have short ranges of less than 1 meter.
EPC UHF tags are typically 1-2 meters reliable read. Far field range is very complex and it is possible to have multipath reflection arrangements where 10 meters may work... sometimes.
With illegally high power transmitters, and large antennas, far field tags can be reliably read to tens of meters or more for non-commercial designs.
Semi-passive RFID's can be read over hundreds of meters.
Active RFID's are limited only by their transmit power and antenna design.
In engineering what kind of structure is a Caisson?
In engineering Caisson is used to refer to a water retaining structure. Caissons are constructed to keep water out off an area. There are four different types of caissons.
Are you ready to relocate with your family as a new employee?
No. I'm committed to staying with my family just where we are, and would prefer
a position involving tasks that are performed either within a 50-mile radius of my
present address, or during travels to the job site not exceeding 30 days each.
Alternatively, for the right position and at the right rate, I'm ready to relocate as
a single individual.
Is an engineering career a good choice for a woman?
Engineering is a good career choice for anybody who is interested. Though there are fewer women engineers than men, they aren't at a disadvantage. Just look at Stephanie Burns, CEO of Dow Corning
Why is IED called Roadside bomb?
Because Improvised Explosive Devices are often used to disrupt transports and traffic (which occur on roads).
TouchFLO is an user-interface designed by HTC. It is used by dragging your finger up the screen and
moving your finger left and right to access common tasks. TouchFLO was used in the HTC Touch Family
of Pocket PCs and was succeeded by TouchFLO 3D. TouchFLO can be found on these phones:
* HTC Touch
* HTC Touch Dual
* HTC Touch Cruise
The HTC Touch Viva and HTC Touch 3G have a version of TouchFLO 3D that lacks the 3D visual
effects found on other devices with TouchFLO 3D. HTC is also calling this significantly
different user interface TouchFLO.[1][2]
Megatronics is the technical discipline of creating electronic systems that take up as much physical space as possible. An example is creating a computer that takes up an entire room, to do simple arithmetic. Another example is making the servers that run the Internet large enough to fill the core of the Earth. Megatronics is very popular in Texas.
How do you make a rigid arm pendulum?
First you take a lond string and attach it to your arm then you get bouncy ball and add it to you Arm, now you have an Rigid Arm Pendulum.
Where did Jefferies Tubes get their name?
They were named after the art director Matt Jefferies, who designed the original series sets and the Enterprise itself.
How do you overcome limitations of stacks in polygon filling?
You overcome limitations of the stack in polygon filling, or in any other algorithm, far that matter, but using an iterative technique, rather than a recursive technique. Recursion is quite useful, and can simplify algorithm design. Polygon filling, however, is a class of algorithm can potentially have a very deep recursion depth. This causes stress on the stack, hence the need for iteration.
Will sunspots have a direct effect on digital TV?
Yes, at least twice a year as the sun crosses the equator. March and September, if I recall, correctly. What happens is that the sun appears directly behind the satellite and the electromagnetic energy over powers the transmitting part of the transponder on most satellites. The electromagnetic energy more or less `piggybacks' itself on the carrier signal at the same time, becoming part of the satellite's transmitted signal and rides that signal back to earth where it presents itself as 'noise'.
The telephone, the telegraph, and the light bulb were all merely ideas at one time.
Answer Those are different types of engineering fields. Most companies have a career progression. They may hire a young man just out of college and he will have a Title. As he gets more experience, he will be promoted to a new title with a raise in pay. Here is how some companies rank their engineering staff. Associate Engineer - maybe a temporary college student Engineer - graduate of college Senior Engineer - Experienced engineer Project Engineer - Experience allows him to work a project without any supervision Standards Engineer or Lead Engineer - has responsibilty for the technical documents prepared by other engineers Chief Engineer - Engineer of highest technical experience in his company or department. Probably has a Masters or for aircraft design a FAA D.E.R. license. Many engineers gain experience and are promoted into Management. They can manage an engineering department or manage a project. That is considered moving out of the technical field into a field requiring management skills or education such as an MBA.
What does landscaping consist of?
Landscapers are people who care for the lawn or the garden of a home. They cut the grass, they improve the irrigation system so that the lawn gets enough water, they help to get rid of common pests, and they work with the owner of the home to create a beautiful outdoors by selecting the right shrubs and flowers, and keeping the lawn looking nice.
What did George B McClellan do after the 1864 presidential election?
After George B. McClellan's loss in the 1864 US presidential election, he regrouped and used his contacts in New York City to find a new career. New York City was run by the Democratic Party and McClellan was a Democrat. With his skills as an engineer, he became the chief engineer for the New York City Department of Docks.
