TEJ3M Notes
Used to check the file system and the status of the system's harddrive's
Checks your hardrive for errors and repairs them if it can
Checks for bad sectors
Used when harddrive might not be funcitoning properly,data stored not
written properly
Disk defragmentor
Overtime disks become fragmented and the computer slow down as it has to
look at many places to find a file
A tool that reaaranges the data on your computer
Reunites fragmented files so that the system can run more efficiently
Makes PC faster as it takes less time to find the same file
Important utility software: Malwarebytes,Search and Destroy, CCleaner
Ctl Alt Del to open Task manager
Examining processes: Examine the performance tab and if u notice that it is
unusually high,go the the processes and check which programs are taking
most memory, and end them if they are unecessary/Unknown. You can also
end programs which are not responding or not working properly.
Difference between firewire 400/800
Firewire 800 has faster data transfer speed (800mbps) than firewire 400
(400mbps)
Their adapters are different
Difference between USB 1.0 and USB 2.0
USB 2.0 has a much transfer data transfer rate (480 Mbps) While USB 1.1
only has 12mbps
Thats about 40 times fast
Maximum wire length of USB 1.0 is 3 meters while USB 2.0 is 5 meters
USB 2.0 devices need to connect as a 1.0 device and negotiate for a 2.0
connection
Ways to imporve computer speed:
about the recent changes you made to it,try removing those changes and if
the problems goes away then it was because of that specific change
Divide and conquer: If you donot know the exact location of the problem,
Then check each component one at a time (possibly by removing it), this way
youll create less mess and itll be faster and easier to identify the problem.
Conductor: A material that allows current to pass through it Copper
Insulator: A matrial that doesnt allow current to pass through it Wood
Semi condictor: A material which conducts electricity under some conditions
but not others Silicon or Germanium
Robotics:
Fundamental components of robots:
Brain: Part of the system that responds to stimulation,Controls the actions,
Responses to sensors
Body/chasis: The mehcanisms of AMR which allow to act and be acted upon;
the chasis to hold the robot together
Actuators: A mechanical device for moving or controlling ie motors etc
Sensors: Allows the robot to respond to environment
Power Supply: The juice to run the computers, motors and sensors
Zero turning radius: The turning of a robot without following a circular path is
called zzero turning radius.Keeping the centre of mass at a fixed position and
rotate so that it moves 180 degrees
Autonomous: Being able to move on its own accord completely without input
from an outside source.
Blind motion: The motion of robot without any instruction or sensor
input,blindly
Purpose: Should have a useful or productive purpose and not of harming
anyone
Environment: Should not be harmful to the environment like being made of
Precious Raw materials,releasing harmful waste during maintainence or
disposal or just harming someone during its function. Should be made of
technology easily availabale in the market so that parts, troubleshooting
guides and technicians are easily available.
