What is the difference between rectifier and converter?

A rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. A converter is something more general. It describes not only rectifiers, but also devices that can turn DC into AC or perform DC-to-DC or AC-to-AC conversion.

What is the difference between database software and word processing software?

Database software and word processing software are different because word processing software allows you to store information on a computer using Excel and Word. Database software allows you to create a web database that allows individuals to see information online.

Mapping function between cache lines and main memory block?

I didn't quite understand your question but I'll answer you anyways :P..

It's known that the main memory is much larger that the cache memory , and we need to transfer a block of instructions to the cache memory to be frequently used by the processor to improve performance and reduce time spent in fetching instructions or data ( dealing with cache memory is much faster than RAM ). for example lets say that a main memory has a 128 data blocks and you need to place them in the cache memory which consists of 32 data blocks? then you have to have sort of technique to place them or MAPPING FUNCTION. And there are plenty of 'em (four mapping techniques as far as i know) i will just mention them without getting into details:

Direct mapping , fully-associative, set-associative and n-way set associative.

if you need more details just ask.

greetings

Can you please provide some help over Direct mapping , fully-associative, set-associative and n-way set associative

Thanx

What is the difference between SATA 1 and SATA 3?

The main difference is transfer speed, if you for instance a new solid state drive it a sat 1 port it will be limited in speed, still fast but not the maximum performance you could get out of it,

For a conventional Hard drive you won't notice the difference though.

All sata devices are backward compatible so theres no worries there

What is the difference between CDMA and FDMA?

TDMA provides many users to access the same frequency channel but different time slots.

In FDMA provides many users can be used different frequency channel but at same time. circuit board

What is difference between welding rod and electrode?

welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process

What is the difference between upscaling and upconversion in a DVD player?

Upconversion simply means that all of the components you have plugged into the back of the receiver will be upconverted to an HDMI output so you only have to run one HDMI cable between the receiver and the display. This makes for a much cleaner installation and the receiver will handle the switching of different inputs for different functions. Upscaling on the other hand is quite different because it not only combines all of your inputs into one output cable, but it also increases or “upscales” the resolution. For example, upscaling will take all of your analog signals coming into the receiver and increase the resolution to 1080i/720p or even 1080P for optimal viewing on a HD display. *run976*

What are the difference between a black and white TV to a colored TV?

The difference is that black and white wasn't all that interesting and people wern't watching it as much as they are now because color tv is much funner, people are interested, and people understand tv more.

What is difference between pinned processors ans pinless processors?

On pinless processor configurations, the pins are spring-loaded and connected to the motherboard itself. This has the advantage of removing the fraigle pins from the more heavily-handled CPU, but the spring-loaded pins were prone to failure / falling.

Processors with pins have pins sticking out of the bottom of them.

What is a difference between systems administrator and Linux systems administrator?

"System Administrator" is just that a general sysadmin that more than likely is only certified to use Windows Server and is network-savvy. Whereas a Linux System Administrator is certified in Linux and networking.

What is the difference between sql server and ms sql 2000 database?

SQL Server is most often referred to as Microsoft SQL Server, but there is also a Sybase SQL Server which was originally created on UNIX in 1987. MS sql 2000 database, or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a database server product. So, when you ask what is the difference, I do not see a difference, they are one in the same. Unless your question is asking for the difference between the Sybase version and Microsoft version, or you are wanting to compare different versions of Microsoft SQL Sever. In which case, I think your question must be more specific. arnel... SQL stands for (Structured Query Language). A SQL server can cover a host of products. Oracle is a SQL server however when speaking of Oracle people usually refer to it is Oracle. The server in fact is a SQL server. Microsoft SQL server is often simply referred to as SQL Server not because they 'own' the product or anything, just because of the popularity. I can draw a parallel for you. When you own a SeaDoo watercraft (as I do) people will refer to it as a jetski, same with a Kawasaki, Polaris, or any other brand. The fact is that this name (JetSki) is used interchangable however the Kawasaki Standup model watercraft is the only true 'jetski'. Anyway there are many 'flavors' of SQL server (MYSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgress SQL, just to name a few. You can find more information about SQL server, its history and some additional 'flavors' at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL Hope that helps.

What is a camcorder?

A camcorder is a portable electronic device (generally a digital camera) for recording video images and audio onto a storage device. The camcorder contains both camera and recorder in one unit, hence its portmanteau name. This compares to previous technology where they would be separate.

The Wikipedia definition above is traditional definition of a camcorder. Nowadays, camcorder definition is larger and means any devices which can record various format movies. The most popular camcorders are High-definition camcorders.

What is the difference between midi and digital audio?

MIDI is *NOT* sound. It is performance information.

IE: the key C3 was triggered for 1 second at a velocity of 90

Digital Audio is a broad term - sound is captured/stored/modified/played back from combinations of 0's and 1's to re-create an analog sound signal.

MIDI is device dependent. it doesn't transmit an audio signal or media. it transmit "event messages" such as pitch and intensity of musical notes to play control signals for parameters such as volume vibrato. midi needs sequence software sound synthesizer lets u record or edit data soo editing is easy. if u digitized bitmap graphic image to vector graphic, midi is used. MIDI file size is small. it requires less memory or file format is small. As they are small, can embedded in web page and load & play quickly. It contains actual signal or voice.

Digital Audio: It is device independent. when record a digital audio, signal from analogue sensor like microphone is sampled using frequency and converted to digital format using an ADC converter. for playing music their info is again converted to analogue audio signal. Digitizing audio simply play the audio through a sound card. editing is not easy. file size is large so fie format is.. it not contains actual signal..

Explain difference between ICT and Telecommunication?

Information Technology involves the installation, maintenance, operation, or study of computers, printers, and related equipment used to store and transmit information. Telecommunication is where people communicate over long distances using telegraphs, telephones, computers, or some form of broadcasting networks like cable or satellite television.

What was the difference between the peninsulares and the creoles?

Criolios were people of full Spanish descent born in the Americas or Philippines. Peinsulars were Spanish-born Spaniards residing in the New World or the Spanish East Indies. These terms were used in the colonial caste system of Spanish America and the Spanish Philippines.

What is the Difference between androids and cyborgs?

As a Cyborg Anthropologist who studies human-machine interfaces and interactions, I'll take a stab at answering this question.

The word Cyborg comes from the concept of cybernetic organism which is a combination of both human and machine. The term was first developed by Manfred Kline. The term was coined in 1960 when Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline used it in an article about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space.

Robots are machines that may or may not resemble humans (the Google bots that index the web, for instance, don't resemble humans, but ASIMO, the robot made by Honda, does) and are usually employed in assembly lines, as part of software programs -- to automate work that would take more time and energy to do by hand.

An Android is a robot or synthetic organisim designed to look and act like a human. While a robot can can be used to describe a machine that may or may not look like a human, the term android is reserved only for robots that resemble humans. One of the more recognizable examples of an android is Data from Star Trek.

Increasingly, we're seeing examples of what have come to be called Actroids, or androids that not longer existent within the realm of science fiction but actually resemble humans in action and reception to input. One current example is theActroid DER 2, an android resembling a Japanese female, that was demonstrated at the AKIBA Robot Festival in the Akihabara district of Tokyo in 2006.

A note on cyborgs, robots, androids, and cybernetic systems:

While robots may be part of a human-machine assembly line, the term "robot" is used to describe the machine part only, while cyborg or cybernetic assembly (which can also be referred to as an Actor-Network (a term coined by anthropologist Bruno Latour) can be comprised of multiple subjects working collectively in a process architecture. In this case, the human/computer interaction of robot/machine that occurs when one uses a laptop computer could be considered a cyborgian or cybernetic connection. Assembly line robots and human workers are part of a cybernetic system that produces vehicles.

What are the differences Between MS Dos and Windows?

Well, with MS-DOS the user communicates directly to operating system by using a variety of commands that can perform tasks and actions.

MS-Windows is graphical, to navigate the operating system you click different parts such as the taskbar, desktop icons to access certain parts of the operating system.

Intergration: MS-DOS can be accessed through a Windows based operating system by going to 'command promt' or 'CMD.exe'

Differentiate between e-business and e-commerce?

Though, many a times, the terms e-business and e-commerce are used interchangeably, yet more precise definitions would distinguish between the two. Just as the term 'business' is a broader term than 'commerce', e-business is a more elaborate term and comprises various business transactions and functions conducted electronically, including the more popular gamut of transactions called 'e-commerce.' e-commerce covers a firm's interactions with its customers and suppliers over the internet. e-business includes not only e-commerce, but also other electronically conducted business functions such as production, inventory management, product development, accounting and finance and human resource management. e-business is, therefore, clearly much more than buying and selling over the internet, i.e., e-commerce.

What difference between switches and hub?

The difference is in the way how they process communications between two or more computers. If you send some information to one computer only using hub it will resend the information to all computers in the network. When switches resend information to the only one computer.

What is the difference between relative URL and absolute URL?

An absolute path refers to the path to a file on a computer. For example, on a Unix system, an absolute path begins with a '/' and on a Microsoft Windows machine, it will begin with a drive letter, a ':' and a backslash (eg 'C:\') or a '\\' indicating a path to another computer.

A relative path is the path to a file from the current directory. On a unix system this path will begin with a character other than a '/' (any other character could begin a relative path). For example, if one is currently in the directory /home/user42/ and there is a directory named /home/user42/mail/ then the relative path to mail is simply 'mail/'. If there is a directory /home/user41/songs/ then the relative path is '../user41/songs/'. If one is in the directory /home/ then the relative paths are user42/mail/ and user41/songs/, respectively.

What is the difference between thicknet and thinnet cables?

Thicknet or 10BASE5 is able to run 500 meters. Thinnet or 10BASE2 is able to run 185 meters. Thinnet cable has a smaller diameter (it is thinner cable) and is more flexible and so easier to work with than thicknet. In the old days you would run a thicknet cable in the ceiling as your network backbone and use vampire taps to attach thinnet cables ("drop cables") that would drop down into rooms in the office where they would connect to hubs. This setup is caled a bus topology. The problem was if that if any piece wasn't properly terminated or is any one cable broke then the whole network went down and you'd have to run around trying to locate the break.

What is difference between hydraulic cylinder And pneumatic cylinder?

1. Working fluid : Pneumatics use air, Hydraulics use Oil

2. Power : Pneumatic power less than hydraulic power

3. Size : P components are smaller than H components

4. Leakage : Leaks in hydraulics cause fluid to be sticking around the components. In pneumatics air is leaked into the atmosphere.

5. Pneuatics obtain power from an air compressor while hydraulics require a pump

6.Air is compressable, hydraulic oil isn't

Hydraulic oil is slightly compressable particularly when air is entrained within it

Hydraulics can also attain power from an air accumulator

PNEUMATIC POWER IS NOT BNECESSARILY LESS THAN HYDRAULIC POWER

THE LOSSES TEND TO BE GREATER IN PNEUMATICS BUT THIS IS DUE TO ENGINEERING RATHER THAN CHARACTERISTICS.

Pneumatics are much easier to configure for control applications

I disagree with answer 3 above, it depends on the application.XD

Miss.godgivenhope@hotmail.com
Pneumatic machines use the power of compressed air to perform work.

Hydraulic machines use the incompressibility of water under pressure to perform work.
