Interior Designers

Interior designers enhance the safety, beauty, and function of interior spaces. They are concerned with how different textures, colors, lighting, space and furniture work together to meet the needs of their clients.

Is Class 1 fire rating the same as 1 hour fire resistance rating?

In short, No - in the UK "Class 1" is a form of performance that indicates how easily something burns ('Class 4" being the worst).

Fire resistance on the other hand is a term that relates to a construction's ability to resist the passage of fire (e.g. a wall, floor, door etc).

The fact that a material is "Class 1" doesn't necessarily have any bearing on its fire resistance performance. For example, PVC cladding can be obtained to a 'Class 1' rating, but it wouldn't contribute much to the wall's fire resistance performance at all.

What is a false ceiling?

any ceiling that is suspended below the original ceiling usually to conceal an ugly, or too high ceiling or to install flourescents with translucent panels to give the effect of the entire ceiling being lit up. lots of reasons and methods but basically is just a 2nd ceiling concealing the original.

Explain layered structure in operating system?

Structure of an Operating System

An operating system is composed of a kernel, possibly some servers, and posssibly some user-level libraries. The kernel provides operating system services through a set of procedures, which may be invoked by user processes through system calls. System calls look like procedure calls when they appear in a program, but transfer control to the kernel when they are invoked at run time. ( read is an example of a system call in Unix.)

In some operating systems, the kernel and user-processes run in a single (physical or virtual) address space. In these systems, a system call is simply a procedure call. In more robust systems, the kernel runs in its own address space and in a special privileged mode in which it can execute instructions not available to ordinary user processes. In such systems, a system call invokes a trap as discussed below.

A trap is a hardware event that invokes a trap handler in the kernel. The trap indicates, in appropriate hardware status fields, the kind of trap. Traps may be generated implicitly by the hardware to signal events such as division by zero and address faults (which we will discuss later), or explicitly by a process when it executes a special instruction. Explicit or user-initiated traps are used to handle system calls. A system call stores the name of the call and its arguments on the stack and generates a user-initiated trap. The trap handler in the kernel knows, from the type of the trap, that it is a user-initiated trap asking for a system call, finds the name of the systems call, and calls the appropriate kernel procedure to handle the call passing it the arguments stored on the stack.

We will later consider the various techniques for structuring the kernel. As we shall see, kernels may be layered, object-oriented, or decomposed into kernel processes.

Not all operating services have to be provided by the kernel. Modern operating systems also define servers, which are user processes that offer operating system services to other processes. These services are invoked by clients through interprocess communication (IPC) primitives. We shall see later the rationale for transferring functionality from the kernel to servers. We shall also see the minimum functionality that needs to be supported in the kernel. In micorkernel-based systems, the kernel provides this minimum functionality.

The cost of invoking system calls and IPC primitives is more than the cost of invoking a simple procedure call when multiple address spaces are supported by the system. Therefore, as we shall see later, some of the traditional OS functionality is sometimes also provided by user-level libraries.

What to do when the wall paper still bleeds through after primer and white paint?

The bad news is you will have to remove the old wallpaper. Adding another coat of primer and topcoat will most likely result in the same problem.

Unfortunately, in the attempt to save time, money, and effort by doing the least amount possible, many people end up having to take additional time, do much more work and at greater cost than doing it all the first time.

Start by scoring the paper with a tool commonly called a "paper tiger". Use medium pressure and a circular stroke. Make sure to get all of the surface.

Next use a good quality commercial wallpaper remover, mixed with warm (not hot) water. Apply the mixture to the wall with a sponge (wear gloves and protective eye gear). Allow the mixture to saturate the paper and reactivate the glue. Using a wide scraper (plastic is better than metal) peel the wallpaper from the wall.

Once the entire wall is free of the paper and the "fuzzy" backing that some papers have. Wash the wall down with a good cleaner, rinse it well and allow to dry completely.

Do any and all repairs needed to the wall surface, and prime it with a good quality primer.

Finish up with a good quality top coat and you are good to go.

Would loss of heat be reduced or increased by increasing the air gap between the double paned windows than the usual necessary gap?

Increasing the air gap between double-paned windows beyond what is necessary can reduce heat loss due to the additional insulation. The wider the air gap, the more effective it is at preventing heat transfer between the indoor and outdoor environments. However, there may be diminishing returns beyond a certain point, as the benefits become less significant with each increase in gap width.
