DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TFT AND LCD.




This is a common question when have been asked about several times by many people. Every body wants to know that what is the difference between a LCD and TFT. So i figured out, i should answer this question for anyone who has doubts.

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display... and 
TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor.

TFT is not really different from LCD. It comes from the family of LCD technology. We can say that it is a modern version of the LCD Technology. A TFT provide a well improved image quality. 
There are two typs of display quality. 1st one is Matty and 2nd is Grossy. Matty display is called LCD and Grossy display is called as TFT. LCD and TFT consumes less power energy as compared to CRT (Cathode ray tube).
Now a days TFT has been used for mobile phone devices, projectors, nevigation systems as well as TVs and computer monitors.

How does a wireless mouse work when even it is not connected to any other devices?

How does a wireless mouse work when even it is not connected to any other devices?

In the wireless mouse the information from the mouse to the CPU and back are exchanged through radio signals
A mouse is a very important peripheral device in a computer which is used to move the cursor on the computer screen. It has several other buttons which are used to highlight a part of text, images or other information, to scroll pages, to click and open files, folders etc.


In case of a wired mouse, the information from the mouse to the CPU and back are transmitted through a pair of wires. In case of a wireless mouse, these information are exchanged through radio signals.

To support this arrangement, there is a radio transmitter in the mouse and a corresponding receiver in the computer.

The radio frequency receiver receives the radio frequency signals, decodes them, and then sends these signals directly to the computer as normal. RF receivers usually come as built in components that connect to the mouse input. In some cases a separate card is installed in the computers.

Most wireless mice have integrated receivers that plug into a computer's peripheral input and are very small in size. Wireless mice mainly use radio frequencies at 2.4 gigahertz and at these frequencies a mouse can transfer data at very quick speed. Also there is very little or no interference in a work or home environment.
They also have a good range of the order of 100 feet or so. Another technology that is used in wireless mice is Bluetooth RF technology. It uses 2.4 gigahertz frequencies. Bluetooth also has a decent range, usually about 20- 30 feet.

What is MAC Address

A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are used for numerous network technologies and most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet. Logically, MAC addresses are used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer of the OSI reference model.
MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a Network Interface Card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. A network node may have multiple NICs and will then have one unique MAC address per NIC.


Method 1
Click on Start>>Run>>CMD>>Ipconfig/all

A mac address contains 6 pairs of digits which is hexadecimal digits,The first three pairs of digits in the MAC address are called the OUI (Organizational Unique Identifier), which identifies the company that manufactured or sold the device. For example, a MAC address that begins with 00:1F:33 denotes a Netgear product. The last three pairs of digits are specific to the device and can be more or less considered a serial number of sorts. Together, the two parts of the MAC address form an ID that's unique to a particular device.


Method 2
This method applicable only if you connected to a network



Open Network connection

Select your Local Area Connection and right-click, select "Status".











In "Support" tab, click "Details".












Your MAC Address is the "Physical Address" listed in Network Connection Details.











Method-3

if u are using windows Xp start>>run>>getmac

CAT-5 CABLE AND RJ45 CONNECTORS


 How to correctly assemble a CAT-5 cable to RJ45 connectors for regular network cables as well as crossover cables.
The CAT-5  is a standard cable which has four twisted pairs of colours. It is easy to crimp a RJ45 connector to CAT-5 cable and make it into a straight cable or cross the cable as required. To make a straight cable, the ends must be crimped in the same way at each end. When making a crossover cable, some wires of certain colours have to be reversed. 

CAT-5 cable is usually divided into 4 twisted pairs of colours:

Orange / orange-white
Green / green-white
Blue / white and blue
Brown / brown-white

Straight Cable Colour Code

To make a straight cable, the tips must be crimped typically the same way ateach end by respecting the twisted pair size.

In general, the colour code used is:

1) orange-white
2) orange
3) green-white
4) Blue
5) blue-white
6) Green
7) brown-white
8) brown

Crossover Cable Colour Code


For a crossover cable, swap 1 with 3, and 2 with 6, in the list above. This gives:

1) green-white
2) green
3) orange and white
4) Blue
5) blue-white
6) orange
7) brown-white
8) brown

Standard EIA / TIA 568 (A &B) Colour Code

Straight cable

1) white-green / white-green
2) green / green
3) white-orange / white-orange
4) Blue / blue
5) white-blue / white-blue
6) Orange / orange
7) white-brown / white-brown
8) brown / brown

Crossover cable 10/100baseT Colour Code


1) white-green / white-orange
2) Green / orange
3) white-orange / white-green
4) Blue / blue
5) white-blue / white-blue
6) Orange / green
7) white-brown / white-brown
8) brown / brown

Complete crossover cable or crossgigabit Colour Code

On Gbic 1000BaseT eg

1) white-green / white-orange
2) Green / orange
3) white-orange / white-green
4) Blue / white-brown
5) white-blue / brown
6) Orange / green
7) white-brown / blue
8) Brown / white-blue

Note:

Many Gigabits (10/100/1000 multi speed) are auto MDI / MDIX and automatically adapt to the type of cable connected.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONLINE AND OFF-LINE UPS?


Offline UPS


Offline UPS supply grid power to electrical and electronic devices during normal power supply. It switches to battery power only during power failures and other power problems. As the grid power is bypassed to the load during normal power supply, it is known as Offline UPS. As the UPS is used only during power problems it is also known as Standby UPS. Offline UPS is also spelled as Off-Line UPS or Off Line UPS.
Apart from bypassing power to the load, Offline UPS also 

charges the connected batteries during normal power supply. The bypassing of power results in exposing the load to electrical noises and surges. Therefore, they are not recommended for very sensitive and critical electronic devices. During power failures and other power problems, they switch from grid power to battery power fast enough to prevent computers from rebooting. The switch over time is usually between 2 to 20ms.

Online UPS


Online UPS supply power to electrical and electronic devices from batteries all the time. The UPS first converts grid power to charge the batteries and then discharges the batteries to power the load. As the battery power is supplied to the load at all times, it is known as Online UPS. The grid power is converted from (Alternating Current) AC to DC (Direct Current) to charge the battery and the battery power is converted from DC to AC to power the load. Therefore online UPS is also known as Double Conversion UPS.
As Online UPS always provides power from the battery, the load always gets clean power regardless of any power problems. Therefore, Online UPS is recommended for sensitive and critical electronic devices. Online UPS provide a layer of insulation or electric firewall. Any change in the input voltage or frequency does not affect the output voltage and frequency. Therefore, the load is shielded from all power problems.

Basic Input Output System (BIOS)

The BIOS is a special software usually stored on a Flash memory chip on the motherboard. It is used by the microprocessor (processor) to get the computer system started after it is turned on. It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse, printer etc. When BIOS boots up (starts up) the computer, it first determines whether all of the attachments are in place and operational and then it loads the operating system (or key parts of it) into the computer's random access memory (RAM) from hard disk or diskette drive.

The BIOS uses CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology to save any changes made to the computer's settings. A small lithium or Ni-Cad cell, installed on the motherboard, supplies power to keep the data for years. To enter the CMOS Setup for altering custom settings of a computer, a certain key during the initial start up sequence is required to be pressed. Most systems use "Del," or "F1," keys to enter CMOS setup.
On entering CMOS setup, a text menu screen, the contents of which are different for different BIOS manufacturers, is displayed. The menu screen provides links for opening pages for changing various BIOS settings of the computer. These menus enable change of the following
  • System Time/Date
  • Drive Configuration
  • Boot Sequence - setting the order of boot devices;
  • Plug and Play;
  • Integrated peripherals;
  • Advanced chipset features;
  • Setting password for computer access;
  • Power Management etc.
The changes to CMOS setup must be made very carefully. Incorrect settings may stop the computer from booting.
