Electronic Components

Electronic components form parts of electronic circuitry, and are used or manufactured in the field of electronics, which is the study of electrical devices used for controlling electrically charged particles or the flow of electrons to execute any electrical operation. Some of the most common electronic components are as follows: Resistor: A resistor resists electric current, and the resistance is measured in ohms. Colors on the body of the resistor are a code for the value. Different colors represent the numbers from 0 to 9. In a variable resistor, resistance can be varied by moving a knob or slider.

Electronic Medical Record Systems

Different electronic medical systems have different strengths and limitations. To decide which one to purchase, a medical practice can start by understanding how to assess the difference between systems. Electronic medical record systems may have different component software packages, including those for patient medical records, appointment scheduling, billing or patient education. Since patient medical records are a critical component, it is best to understand the software used to implement electronic medical records.

Electronic Medical Records

Electronic medical records are computer-based patient medical records. Physicians' offices and hospitals throughout the United States are increasingly using them because they offer certain advantages over conventional paper-based medical records. Such records are also useful in processing health insurance claims and following up with patients. A key benefit to medical providers is the instant availability of data once it is entered electronically, and the space and labor savings resulting from the elimination of paper-based records.

Surplus Electronic Components

In the present environment when technology is progressing at a tremendous pace, obsolescence and redundancy are common phenomena leading to surplus inventory. Several cities have excellent surplus electronics stores, and once you find one, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The above factors have made it difficult for manufacturers to make new components for earlier generations of products. Although the purchase of new components has several advantages like long life expectancy and proper maintenance service, they are more expensive and subject to more failure rates during the break-in period. You should consider the following factors while buying surplus or used components: reliability, useful life, vendor, warranty or test capability, selection support and price. You can now find more vendors to choose from when purchasing surplus components. This is partly because of the expanding pool of used equipment left over after modernizations, and through new technology such as the Int...

Why Should I Use Electronic Signatures

Why Should I Use Electronic Signatures? This is a rational question with rational answers, but not everyone has the time or the tenacity to sit down and read the Electronic Signatures In Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”), Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) or the stacks of other regulations and guidance that make this technology not only legal, but also stress the vital importance of adopting electronic signature technologies. Today the average American office worker consumes (12,000) pieces of paper a year, with an average annual printing expense per employee ranging from $600-$2000. Storing paper and retrieving stored paper is also quite costly. The U.S. government estimates that (1 Lbs) of paper costs ($19) a year to store and manage. At that rate, assuming your business stores only 60% of the paper printed by your employees, your business is spending $1,500 annually per employee on paper storage alone. There are obvious other costs associated with paper, fo...

Implementing Electronic Medical Records

One of the first steps in implementing electronic medical records is to find a system that supports all the needs of a particular practice. While the capability of electronic medical record software is key, certain systems may offer appointment scheduling, billing or patient education software.

Everything You Need to Know About Electronic Drum Sets

The drums most people know are made of wood shells and plastic heads; when you hit them with a stick, they produce a thud that sounds just like a drum hit with a stick. (What else would you expect?) In today's high-tech world, however, pretty much anything you can do acoustically can also be done electronically, using digital recording and playback techniques. The merger of digital electronics with acoustic drums is the electronic drum - something both a little more and a little less than a traditional drum set. Electronic drum sets have been here since the late 1970s. Those early electronic kits include arm-damaging hard rubber pads and produced synthesized bloops and bleeps that sounded more like the movie Star Trek than anything ever produced by an acoustic drum. The novelty of synthesized sounds soon wore off, to be supplanted by digitally recorded sounds - so called samples of traditional acoustic sounds. Today's electronic drum sets utilize digital samples of big-sou...
