CAD/CAM Systems
Number of words: 881 - Number of pages: 4.... model, a series
of small and large sheets connected to one another like a quilt blanket,
displaying the shape the designer intended. Lastly, is the solid model. It
is represented in the computer as solid shape, as if it were, for example a
solid piece of steel All data concerning its shape is known by the
computer software, and can be manipulated in more of an automated way
rather than every surface or every wire frame requiring individual shaping
(Unigraphics 1-1).
CAD/CAM software also creates N/C Programs for manufacturing. But, first
let’s define wha .....

Hacking
Number of words: 3551 - Number of pages: 13.... guidelines to follow to
ensure that not only you stay out of trouble, but you pursue your craft without
damaging the computers you hack into or the companies who own them.
I. Do not intentionally damage *any* system. II. Do not alter any system
files other than ones needed to ensure your
escape from detection and your future access (Trojan Horses, Altering
Logs, and the like are all necessary to your survival for as long as
possible.) III. Do not leave your (or anyone else's) real name, real
handle, or real
phone number on any sys .....

Lasers And Their Uses
Number of words: 843 - Number of pages: 4.... is stimulated, as it falls back to a
lower energy state, to emit a second photon of the same frequency, in phase
with and in the same direction as the bombarding photon. This process is
called stimulated emission. The bombarding photon of the emitted photon may
then strike other excited atoms, stimulating further emission of photons, all
of the same frequency and phase. This process produces a sudden burst of
coherent radiation as all the atoms discharge in a rapid chain reaction. The
light beam produces is usually pencil thin and maintains its size and direct .....

The Electronic Computer
Number of words: 1885 - Number of pages: 7.... think, write, draw, play music, learn, keep records and retrieve information. It is that we are using every day.
The idea of an automatic computing machine can be traced back to the mid-nineteenth century. But it was only in the 1904s, when electronics was applied to the task of automatic computing, that fast, reliable computers became possible. Early computers were used mainly for scientific and technical calculations. In the 1950s, businesses, universities and government began using computers to store and process such nonmathematical data as orders, invoices .....

Fiber Optics
Number of words: 864 - Number of pages: 4.... has been important in reducing the cost of fiber systems by allowing a single laser to be shared among multiple receivers.
The smallest, final span of cable, called the drop, is the portion of the network that runs between the last place where the signal is split to the home of the subscriber. at this time, the drop portion of the network is exclusively coaxial cable; however, cable operators and equipment vendors alike are exploring ways to make fiber an economic alternative to coax.
Cable TV operators are evaluating a variety of new services, among the most .....

The Computer Underground
Number of words: 15764 - Number of pages: 58.... a data set culled from CU channels of communication this paper
provides an ethnographic account of computer underground organization. It
is concluded that despite the widespread social network of the computer
underground, it is organized primarily on the level of colleagues, with
only small groups approaching peer relationships.
Certification: In accordance with departmental and Graduate
School policies, this thesis
is accepted in partial fulfillment of degree
requirements.

Organic Molecules Challenge
Number of words: 2520 - Number of pages: 10.... to revolutionize computer design
and performance," said Robert R. Birge, a professor of chemistry, Carnegie-
Mellon University, Pittsburgh. "Now it's only a matter of time, hard work, and
some luck before molecular electronics start having a noticeable impact."
Molecular electronics is so named because it uses molecules to act as the
"wires" and "switches" of computer chips. Wires, may someday be replaced by
polymers that conduct electricity, such as polyacetylene and
polyphenylenesulfide. Another candidate might be organometallic compounds such
as porphyrin .....

The Computer
Number of words: 680 - Number of pages: 3.... can store
databases which could contain information that is kept by police for easier
records or you could just use it for your own family history. The basic
structure of a computer is a keyboard, a moniter, a and case which holds all the
componets to make a computer run like a Hard drive, a Motherboard, and a Video
card. There are many other additions you can make to this such as a Modem, a
Joystick, and a Mouse.
The personal computer was developed during the year 1945 by the Americans to
help them decode enemy secret codes during the Second World War. At this .....
