If you have to take notes while you are walking around or on the go, you'll likely want a tablet that's lightweight and has a long-lasting battery. If you live for movies, a tablet with streaming-video capability and a larger screen than your smartphone could be far more important. High-end tablets cost upwards of $600, but you can buy a low-end tablet for considerably less: the Kindle Fire, which dominates the lower end of Android sales, costs under $200 as of February 2012.

If the Intel GMA driver is missing, reinstall it to maximize your monitor's display.
Any amplifier that has a control to change the output level -- such as the volume control on a radio or TV -- is a variable gain amplifier. Many engineers and technicians confuse the term with automatic gain control, which keeps the output level of an amplifier constant, regardless of the input.
Professional lumber and sawmill operations often use terms that are unfamiliar to home woodworkers. The terms are confusing occasionally because they look like they refer to something else entirely. A “bolt” in lumber terminology is not the thick metal hardware that normally graces the pages of woodworking projects, and people who attempt to source uncut lumber can end up looking for the wrong item. Bolt measurements apply to any kind of wood, such as oak, cedar and cypress.
The term "servo drive" is rather ambiguous, as it has acquired a number of different possible meanings. "Servo drive" can be synonymous with "servo-mechanism" -- an electromechanical system that includes a motor, drive shaft, sensors, electronic amplification and feedback stages, and frequently a computer control system. It can also be used to refer to various elements of a servo-mechanism system.
Looping samples and phrases is one of the foundations of electronic music and related genres. Although non-delay looping mechanisms have been available since the 1980s, looping was originally achieved using long delay devices such as the Paradis LoopDelay. In essence, the delay effect is a synthetic echo that repeats the input sound in adjustable increments over time. Most software delay plug-ins are able to reproduce this effect, depending on the availability of certain parameters.
An RC transmitter can be modified to work a switch control by being attached to an RC switch relay. Remote-control transmitters receive a radio signals emitted by an RC device, such as one used to control an RC airplane. The radio signal "tells" the transmitter to turn a switch on and off. Attach the wires of an electronic device, such as Christmas lights or a Halloween display animatronics, to a receiver and manipulate them with a modified remote control.

The amount of bandwidth you use depends on a number of factors such as the length of a movie and the quality of the…
Insulation comes in many types, from heating and cooling insulation designed to keep hot and cold air within your home to sound insulation designed to dampen sound. Manufacturers assign insulation to numerous categories, among them composite and non-composite. These categories describe overarching types of insulation, not specific products. Understanding the differences between composite and non-composite insulation ultimately comes down to understanding the differences between these terms in general.

Odds are you've run across a few overbearing people in your life who thought they knew it all and were in some way superior to you. If you were lucky you weren't related to any of them and could easily exorcise them from your life. Unfortunately, if this overbearing person happens to be your sister, it isn't as easy as ignoring the problem or cutting off the relationship. While you're unlikely to change this behavior in her, you do have total control on how much you allow it to affect you.
A muffle furnace has separate combustion and heating chambers. This means the gases, ash and residue of combustion do not contaminate the heated material. Often used in scientific research, the muffle furnace allows the study of heated materials without inclusion of outside materials from the combustion process. The design of the furnace allows you to maintain high heat levels for long periods. Most laboratory-sized muffle furnaces are now electrically powered.
The Altec Lansing XA3021 speaker system consists of two tweeters and one bass tube. The system has a tethered or corded controller that you can use to raise or lower the volume of the speaker unit.

Third-party Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) controllers are available from many manufacturers. Many PS3 owners purchase these controllers instead of Sony-branded controllers because they are less-expensive. Mad Catz has a plethora of PS3 controllers that easily sync wirelessly with the Sony PS3 using an USB receiver. These controllers work even with newer Sony PS3 firmware versions.
Flux systems are designed to measure the carbon dioxide flux in soil in different climates, spatial ranges and environmental conditions. Flux systems allows users to customize the application specific to their research needs. For instance, the researchers are able to design the system to measure carbon dioxide flux ranges, connect to networks in remote locations, perform wireless communications on computer and mobile applications, track pressure changes in different weather conditions and analyze data, all while causing little disturbance to environmental conditions that could disrupt the measurements.
The concentration of a solution describes the number of particles in each unit of volume. Molarity specifies this concentration in terms of moles per liter, where a mole is 6.023 × 10²³ particles. When you mix two solutions, the resultant mixture will have a molarity greater than the more dilute solution and less than the more concentrated solution. You can use algebra to calculate the exact proportions of the two solutions that you need to reach a target combined molarity.
The Harmony line is Logitech's family of remote controls and remote-related gear. Most of the remotes are universal and work with common equipment from almost any manufacturer. The Harmony RF Extender uses radio frequency (RF) waves to send signals through walls and doors, but the signals may not get through in all circumstances. There are two remedies for this: using longer cables for the mini blasters (infrared transmitters that come with the Harmony RF Extender) or using a wireless remote control extender (a secondary device beyond the Harmony RF Extender).
When you add widgets to the home screen of your Android device, the widget appears in the spot where you used the long press to open the widget menu. Once you have the widgets on the screen, you may want to move them around. It's not necessary to delete and replace the widgets to organize them, you can move them around using the long press method.
YouTube may provide video viewing billions of times each day on countless channels, but from time to time, some of those who started out as passionate video creators get burned out, tired of creating, or find other reasons to leave their channels empty. While some people let their accounts become inactive for lack of effort, others create channels with certain usernames just to foil those who may legitimately lay claim to that same username. Whatever the reason, YouTube has policies in place to try to keep a handle on the number of inactive accounts on the platform.
Tardiness among your staff members can wind up affecting company productivity and your overall bottom line. If salaried employees show up late for work every day, you end up paying them for time that they are not actually in the office. When employees walk into the office late, they inevitably distract the team working around them, and if they are tardy for meetings with clients, you may lose important accounts. Get tardiness at work under control by instituting natural negative and positive consequences for your employees' actions.
Part of rattan furniture's beauty and appeal as outdoor or patio furniture is its ability to weather the elements. This does not, however, mean that it is waterproof. In spite of being able to be left out in the weather, it does begin to degrade if left in direct rain or even direct sunlight. If painted, the paint needs maintenance and touch-ups to remain beautiful when left outdoors for extended periods. It is easily cleaned, with unpainted rattan and wicker strong enough to be hosed off with a strong jet of water without sustaining damage.
There are 116,000 professional pilots in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Around 39,200 of these workers are employed in companies outside the airline industry, such as freight shipping businesses. The remaining 76,800 pilots work for passenger airlines. Employees for regional airlines often earn less than pilots of national or international airlines.

The long-stemmed, fragrant red American Beauty rose, introduced to the U.S. in the late 19th century, came away from florist shops in the hands of hopeful suitors, repentant husbands and appreciative guests throughout the early 20th century at the cost of $2 per stem. Long-stemmed roses create striking displays either singly, massed in arrangements or clasped by nervous brides. A flourishing industry provides the world with long-stemmed roses; hobbyists raise them at home. (Ref 2)

Muskmelons -- better known as cantaloupes -- are excellent melons to grow in the home garden. There are many varieties suitable for the home garden and “Harvest Queen” is a common choice, known for its orange flesh and resistance to fusarium wilt. Expect to harvest this variety approximately 90 days after planting, looking for signs that they are ready to pick about one week before this.
Camshafts that work with TPI systems are computer controlled to optimize vehicle performance. General Motors used tuned port injection systems in select high performance vehicles released during the mid-1980s and early 1990s, including the Corvette, Trans AM and Camaro. The engines use camshafts to control air intake and exhaust output. TPI systems use computer programming instead of manual prompts to open and close engine valves. Air input and output are more synchronized, causing increased vehicle speed and maximum fuel efficiency.
A deed in lieu of foreclosure passes the house into the hands of a lender, but the ability to conduct a deed in lieu is based on who is on the title to the house and the mortgage contract, not who is living the house. The compromise is used primarily to avoid foreclosure when a mortgage has already gone into default but the borrower wants to end the process quickly and neatly. However, a divorce can make the situation more complicated. Not only can the emotional aspect of the divorce make choosing a property solution difficult, but a deed in…
The alfalfa pea aphid is one of a variety of aphids that damage alfalfa plants. The insects feed on the sap of the plant, causing stress that reduces plant growth and vigor. Alfalfa is a common livestock feed and is not grown for human consumption. Chemical treatments for the aphids are available. However, insecticides add to the cost of the crop, can harm the environment and kill beneficial insect species if used improperly.
Fleece is a synthetic fabric made from 100 percent polyester. This fabric is different from other polyester fabrics in that the thread isn't long and smooth. Instead the fibers develop a wool like texture during the manufacturing process. Several types of fleece are manufactured including high-quality polar fleece. This fleece is very thick and wears longer than other fleeces. However, all fleece is prone to shrinking in the wash.
In accrual-based accounting, revenues and expenses are matched together in the same time periods based on their casual relationships. Such a rule exists so that misplaced revenues and expenses do not distort the business's performance in subsequent time periods. Since some revenues and expenses such as interest accrued on financial instruments occur without invoices being sent to the business, these transactions must be recorded by the business at the end of the time period using estimates. Doing so ensures that these transactions are not recorded in the wrong time periods and thus contribute to distortions on the business's financial statements.
Major League Gaming, or MLG, runs tournaments and other events for professional video gamers. First person shooters are the most common games played, with different games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players, while PC gamers often play real-time strategy games. The controllers are very important, as these are the ways gamers interact with the game, and the hardware is carefully monitored. The only competitive advantage gamers have is in the control scheme they choose, which can help or hinder their tactics.
"Donkey Kong Country Returns" is the 2011 entry in the "Donkey Kong Country" series, the first game in the series in more than a decade. Players control Donkey and Diddy Kong in a 2.5D side-scrolling quest to defeat the Tik Tak Tribe, who have stolen Donkey Kong's banana horde. The underground mine cart stages return from the previous games, in which players jump gaps on a fixed scrolling level.
Health insurance portability was established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Portability means that an employee who changes jobs cannot be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. Portability can have implications for employers who seek to control costs, especially because health insurance costs can be a big chunk of company expenses.
Those who study telekinesis believe that some individuals are able to harness electrical impulses that create forces that move objects and distort matter in the natural world. This study of the paranormal suggests that a person is purposely capable of manipulating what seems natural. While scientists know a great deal about natural phenomena, they are always striving to gain information about why and how it occurs. Studying and receiving data from a human being able to control objects can open a valued window of understanding.

Firefighting requires extremely high water pressure for dousing a dangerous fire, requiring thick hose structures retaining the pressurized water. Contributing to the hose structure is the nozzle, providing an exit point for the water stream. Solid-bore nozzles are a common choice for firefighting, used for different applications within the firefighting industry.
Ascorbic acid is often known as vitamin C, although they are not structurally identical. Ascorbic acid is artificial and created in a laboratory. It is a reduced form of natural vitamin C. Because vitamin C is broken down and destroyed when heated, it is lost in the process of making orange juice and other products. Ascorbic acid is a synthetic replacement created as a form of naturally occurring vitamin C.
