Here's a Jeopardy question for you... What weighs 200 million tons? The answer: the amount of electronic waste that goes into our landfills every year. Computers, monitors, cell phones, DVD players, copy machines, TV sets... you get the picture. Most, if not all of this electronic waste, contains hazardous chemicals like mercury, lead and chromium that end up leaching into our ground water from landfills or being emitted into the air from incinerators causing a GROWING environmental and health crisis. This problem is fueled by the fast paced growth of new technology that renders electronic products obsolete long before their normal lifecycle ends and the fact that most people do not know how to properly dispose of these types of products. In fact, most don't know that these products can be recycled and reused. But discarded electronics can be properly disposed of or recycled and it is easier than most people think. Tons of companies have programs that allow you to donate u...

Online magazines or electronic magazines were created to reach many viewers. Like the conventional magazines, electronic magazines contain a lot of information regarding various topics. They are also sometimes called web magazine or cyberspace magazine. Electronic magazines, just like any other magazines, are updated weekly or monthly. Brief History of Ezine Before, electronic magazines were distributed through CD- R O M s and electronic mails to subscribers. But with the advancement of technology especially the Internet, most electronic magazine owners now have their own websites where they can publish new information and update them regularly. They need only to post their updates or make use of emails to inform their subscribers of their updates. Electronic Magazines and Profits For webmasters, having their own electronic magazines can greatly increase traffic, and with traffic comes profit, but the profit comes not from the sales of their products and services but from the adve...

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. A variable resistor is used to control volume in many devices. Capacitor: This is measured in farads. A capacitor is used for storing electrical charges that can be released upon demand. Capacitors can be of different types - electrolyte and ceramic disc are two of them. Diode: A semiconductor device, diodes allow current to flow in one direction only. Small, cheap and lasting, ligh...

We live in a day and age where technology is advancing almost at the speed of light. Every time you turn the television or radio on there is a new advertisement for a new product or technology that is guaranteed to make your life easier or more fun to live. Even technologies that you bought last year are being replaced with newer and fancier models carrying advanced features that will improve the use of your current technology. With these advances in technology come the advances in the science that makes them. And we all know what it is like when a technology that we rely on breaks, it can be the most frustrating thing in the world. Fixing your television today that you bought five years ago is quickly becoming more expensive than simply replacing it. Why? It all boils down to the parts that make the machine. Technology advances because the parts that make it run are advancing even before the technology itself is. What this means is that the parts that make your television ru...

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...

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...

Do you have an idea for an electronic product, the next must-have gadget, music or video system, time saver, or greatest problem-solving device that was ever invented? Even if you have the electronics product design expertise available, there are a number of tasks that you must complete and issues that you must resolve before you have an actual product design that can be produced, marketed, and sold. Once you have completed a product specification document and a marketing study, you should be prepared to have the product electronics and packaging design processes begun so that a prototype unit can be assembled and tested. One of the first choices that must be made in the electronics design is which microprocessor or microcontroller architecture will be utilized if your product idea requires processing capability. Most microprocessor or microcontroller devices are available in a variety of configurations of internal memory sizes with some including non-volatile Flash memory for...

Electronic Medical Claim For years, both practices and patients have had to deal with submitting medical claims. Up until recently, claims were submitted manually, using HCFA 1500 forms. An electronic medical claim allows the submission process to take place online. The electronic medical claim is nothing new, but it is perhaps a somewhat unsettling idea to many practices and patients because of one question which continually surfaces in the minds of both parties: Is submitting an electronic medical claim safe? Security Addressing the issue of safety first, it is understandable the hesitancy to submit medical claims electronically. First of all, the internet is still a relatively new tool which many Americans are still getting the hang of, especially as the generations go back further. Rest assured, submitting an electronic medical claim is secure. With the advance of online technology comes the advance on online security. The electronic billing software enables back ups as well a...

An electronic pet door is the most protective door for your pets, especially dogs. It helps to keep out unwanted or strange animals that enter your home and disturb your dog and the family. Generally, an electronic pet door works through radio signals received from a transmitter fixed on your dogs collar. As your dog reaches the electronic pet door, the transmitter passes a signal to the door for it to open, and after your dog enters or exits, the electronic pet door re-locks automatically. The electronic pet door contains a delicate vinyl flap, which avoids any physical injury to the tail or paws of your dog. Once dogs identify with their new gateway, they may easily enter and exit without any fears. These are some benefits of an electronic pet door for your dog: Allows your dog to go in and out, while it keeps out other animals in the area. Allows your dog freedom of going out without you having to get up to let your dog out. Allows you control (lock feature or remove collar...

I see a lot of questions on message boards related to apartment-dwellers and their perception that they need to find a place to practice drums. They think that a drum set and an apartment are mutually exclusive. This does not have to be the case! Enter the electronic drum set. An electronic drum set overcomes the primary obstacle for people who live in an apartment -- noise. With an electronic kit, you have the ability to sit down, throw on a pair of headphones and play as loud as you want. The only sound your neighbors would be able to hear is your sticks hitting the pads and I guarantee that your TV or stereo gets louder than that. Another obstacle for getting an acoustic drum set in an apartment is space. There isn't enough space to fit a drum set unless you're willing to sacrifice your bed, kitchen table, or another large piece of furniture. With an electronic drum set, you don't have the "bulk" that you have with an acoustic set. If you wanted to...

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...

In this day and age when we are surrounded by electronic components that we rely upon in our everyday lives, it has become more important to maintain our electronics with the correct electronic cleaner. The most common method involves simply using canned air for your electronic cleaner needs. Yes, it is easy. But it's not necessarily the best option. Spray component cleaners will provide you with a much more effective clean. Most spray electronic cleaners come with two primary items; a can of spray cleaner, and some absorbs ion paper. When using your spray electronic component cleaner, first you will want to lay the absorption paper beneath the equipment you are cleaning with the coated side down so that after using your spray electronic component cleaner the paper can absorb the cleaning liquid and dust. After you have set up the equipment to be cleaned, you can now begin to spray your electronic component cleaner. Remember, it is important for such cleaners that you spray fr...

Although there has been a recent growing awareness about the importance of caring for our environment, most of our attention is turned toward issues such as alternative fuel sources and global warming. These topics are certainly important and do merit attention, but there are other simple tasks that you can do on a regular basis that will also help to keep our Earth better protected. One of these tasks is to participate in computer and electronics recycling programs. Why You Should Participate in Computer and Electronics Recycling Programs There are many reasons for participating in computer and electronics recycling programs. We all know that, in general terms, recycling is beneficial because it reuses materials rather than putting them in landfills or incinerating them. Recycling also reduces pollution and helps save natural resources because materials do not have to be developed from scratch. When it comes to computer and electronics recycling, however, there are even more b...

Every day, virtually everything around us becomes a little smarter and a little safer. In our age of information and technology, new digital and electronic components continually make our lives easier and safer at home, at work and on the road.

Here's an example of how quickly cars have evolved electronically: the Apollo 11 traveled to the moon and back again, using just 150 kiloby...

There are all kinds of toys available now in the market, ranging from very traditional wooden painted blocks to very techno multi-featured electronic toys like robots, interactive video games etc. Electronic toys have a wider market now when compared to the market scenario about a decade back. Well acclaimed toy manufacturers like V-Tech, Fisher Price and Leap Frog are some of the more popular manufacturers of Electronic toys. Earlier on, it was a common assumption among buyers of toys that electronic toys are only for grown up kids. That was probably because then the market for electronic toys was also quite limited. But now, electronic toys for younger children aged between 3 and 6 years are also available. The electronic toys for this age group are generally more user friendly and with simple features. The simplest example would be of toys that run with batteries like an electronic train, vehicles, miniature musical instrument toys like piano, keyboard and the talking doll etc....
