History of Green computing In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program which is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies. This resulted in the widespread adoption of sleep mode among consumer electronics. The term "green computing" was probably coined shortly after the Energy Star program began; For a PC disposal, it is necessary to know everything there is to know in order

Impact Of a Water Jet • Introduction: Over the years, engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be imparted by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example, the pelt on wheel has been used to make flour. Further more, the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish

if the main source fails, all devices attached will become unresponsive. Star Topology Star topologies are the most popular forms of networking used today, in both homes and businesses. The star is the central device of the network and is located in most homes today, the router. In order for the star topology to work, it does require more cabling than the bus topology, but unlike the bus topology, if a computer in the star topology fails, all other computers are not affected. However, if the router

Agency (EPA) launched the 'energy star' program in the 90s, to promote energy efficient methods. The EPA today still plays an active role by providing not only energy effective methods, but also cost effective methods for the consumers. In 2006 the EPA established a way to save U.S. households and businesses money; "With an eye to saving U.S. households and businesses more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next 5 years, today EPA announced new Energy Star specifications for computers and

In a hierarchical star topology, all of the computers within the network are connected to a single, centrally located point which is usually a hub of servers and switches located in the main equipment room and interconnected through the main cross-connection. This particular topology is typically found in commercial buildings where there is a horizontal cross-connection with a workgroup switch located in a telecommunications room that allows backbone cabling to interconnect with horizontal cabling

arrangement between the network devices and computers is known as, network topology. As the definition implies the name is loosely tied to the actual appearance the network. There are several topologies; three of the more known ones are Star, Bus, and Ring. The Star topology is a network that is connected through a central device and all the network devices; printers, computers, SAN’s and all other network devise. This topology is the most common network arrangement used today. Most home networks
