Why wont an advent laptop not accept a usb device?
The USB root device could be disabled in the Computer Hardware Device.
What is the meaning of 'Please insert a disk into drive'?
If you are attempting to run a program like a game without the disk, then it is just telling you that it needs the .exe trigger on the disk. This way the program will run. However, if the disk is in and you get the same message, then your computer's disk drive is not reading the data on the disk and should be replaced. I don't recommend that you do this yourself unless you have studied computer sciences.
If a memory card keeps saying to format it in order to use it how do you fix this problem?
By formatting it.
What is the benefits of Electronic Data Interchange?
EDI was developed to solve the problems inherent in paper-based transaction processing and in other forms of electronic communication. In solving these problems, EDI is a tool that enables organizations to reengineer information flows and business processes. Problems with the paper-based transaction system are:
- Time delays. Delays are caused primarily by two factors. Paper documents may take days to transport from one location to another. In addition, manual processing delays are caused by the need to key, file, retrieve, and compare data.
- Labor costs. In non-EDI systems, manual processing is required for data keying, document storing and retrieving, sorting, matching, reconciling, envelope stuffing, stamping, signing, etc. While automated equipment can help with some of these processes, most managers will agree that labor costs for document processing represents a significant proportion of their overhead. In general, labor-based processes are much more expensive than non-labor-intensive operations involving computers and telecommunications.
- Errors. Because information is keyed multiple times and documents are transported, stored, and retrieved by people, non-EDI systems tend to be error prone.
- Uncertainty. Uncertainty exists in two areas. First, paper transportation and other manual processing delays mean that the time the document is received is uncertain. Once a transaction is sent, the sender does not know when the transaction will be received nor when it will be processed. Second, the sender does not even know whether the transaction has been received at all nor whether the receiver agrees with what was sent in the transaction.
- High Inventories. Because of time delays and uncertainties in non EDI processing, inventories are often higher than necessary. Lead times with paper processing are long. In a manufacturing firm, it may be virtually impossible to achieve a just-in-time inventory system with the time delays inherent in non-EDI processing systems.
- Information Access. EDI permits user access to a vast amount of detailed transaction data—in a non-EDI environment this is possible only with great effort and time delay. Because EDI data is already in computer-retrievable form, it is subject to automated processing and analysis. Such information helps one retailer, for example, monitor sales of toys by model, color, and customer zip code. This enables the retailer to respond very quickly to changes in consumer taste.

How do you determine a flash drive size?
In order to decide which size flash drive you need, first you must know what it is you are storing on it. The smaller the file type the smaller the flash drive you will need. Document sizes are as follows from smallest to largest- 1. Documents only(word, excel, etc) 2.Pictures 3. Music 4. Movies. For movies, you at least want to use 32GB, considering Movies are about 4GB each. Which will give you roughly about 8 movies stored. Anything else, you can go smaller in GB size.
Yes, the write protect switch on the SD cards and USB flash help prevent accidental data loss and erasure. This can help extend the lifespan of the device.

Where can you obtain a Hickman catheter stat lock device?
You may be able to use a Picc Stat Lock, or even a Foley Stat Lock.
ETA: Not sure what kind of Hickman you have but if it has suture wings, a PICC Plus StatLock may work. Other Hickman lines have Silastic cuffs so they will graft in place anyway and don't have suture wings. As for where to acquire, I would recommend contacting whoever provides your catheter maintenance supplies.
