02 February 2005 Dear Sir/M’aam I Vaibhav Bansal, am a Second year under-graduate student, in the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India. I am looking for a Summer-Internship in May-July 2005 in your organization. I have always been a knowledge-seeker and have been motivated to explore things as they come by. Ever since my early undergraduate days and even earlier I have been fascinated by the methods of engineering and its application to the real world. And after spending

Exploring the Motherboard and Busses | | Short Answer 8/3/2014 James Kelly Andrew Spruell The motherboard is the printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. It has a couple of major components that I will discuss with a couple of major components that I will discuss. Motherboard Basics A computer has many components, each with their own roles and functions. The role of

the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful; it was primarily used to perform simple mathematical operations in a calculator called “Busicom.” Just like microwaves or telephones, devices with microprocessors have become so integrated into our daily lives, that we cannot imagine a life without them. It’s sometimes hard to believe that only 60 years ago, computers were rare and were not available for the wider public. It wasn't until the '80s that computers entered our homes and

it’s on for awhile. But it can also with stand a higher degree of heat then the chemical element germanium. Which are still in computers today. Another reason would be the cost. It’s easy to find due to the doping process which can create an ease of circuits and make it inexpensive to produce. Second, over time we can see that

lot of heat? Vacuum Tubes The silicon used to make a MOSFET works as a semiconductor. Which of these companies was not one of the original personal computer makers? AMD Moore's law that states the number of transistors that can fit on a single integrated chip doubles every 18-24 months. The first operating system for the personal computer was DOS. A generic PC is also called a white-box system. UNIT 2 What is 2 raised to the 8th power? 256 What is the 4-bit binary number associated with the

second generation computer in TechnologyExpand architecture A computer built from transistors, designed between the mid-1950s andmid-1960s. Ferrite core memory and magnetic drums replaced cathode ray tubes anddelay-line storage for main memory. Index registers and floating pointarithmetic hardware became widespread. Machine-independent high levelprogramming languages such as ALGOL, COBOL and Fortran wereintroduced to simplify programming. I/O processors were introduced to supervise inpu

Artificial Intelligence: Watch Out! Over the years, the thought of computers becoming out equal or taking over has been a major concern. The procedural knowledge that is programmed into machines, such as computers and robots, is known as artificial intelligence. In “The AI Revolution is On,” Steven Levy describes artificial intelligence as machines that do “human-like tasks in ways that people never could” using skills that are programmed into them without “re-creating the brain” (210). Although

Celeron. in addition to the different names of computer processors, there are different architectures 32-bit and 64-bit, speeds, and capabilities. Cpu is an electronic circuit within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output. Electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which

Many fear that, some day, computer technology may take over the world despite the fact that many scientists believe it to be impossible, but as Peter Ustinov once said:” The last voice, you will hear, before the world explodes, will belong to an expert, saying: »It is technically impossible! «”. If one was offered information, one did not posses it is most likely that one would accept the generous offer. Therefore, it is no mystery how computer technology has become so popular. Although the thought
