Technology terms and their meaning

Technology terms line of Sight Wireless is a radio connection between a home network and a tower that carries digital or analog data. Satellite is a connection that is routed between a base and satellite. Cellular is a connection that uses the cellular network to transmit and receive digital data. Mobile Hotspot: a connection that combines a short distance wireless connection with the cellular network using "tethering and a mobile device. Analog Telephone: analog signals sent over telephone lines (dial up). Broadband: Uses different frequencies to send multiple signals (e.g. video and data) over a single connection. ISDN is a type of broadband connection that sends multiple signals (usually data) over a single connection. DSL is a type of connection that is "always on" and uses the voice telephone network to carry data on a seperate frequency. Cable is a type of "always on" connection that can carry both video and data over a single coax connection.

Operators in C language

Image
Operators One of the most important features of C is that it has a very rich set of built in operators including arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators. An operator can be any symbol like + - * / that specifies what operation need to be performed on the data. For ex: + indicates addition operation * indicates multiplication operation Operand VS Operator • An operand can be a constant or a variable. • An expression is a combination of operands and operators that reduces to a single value. For example: Consider the following expression: a+ b Here 'a' and 'b' are operand while 't' is an operator Operators & Expression are 1) Arithmetic Operators and Expressions 2) Assignment and Compound Assignment Operators 3) Increment and Decrement Operators 4) Relational Operators and Expressions 5) Logical Operators and Expressions 6) Bitwise Operators and Expressions Arithmetic Operators An arithmetic operator performs mathematical operators such

3D printers

3D  printers  A 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process of an object that is being created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. 3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods. Slicing: From printable file to 3D Printer Slicing basically means slicing up a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of layers and that is done with slicing software. When your file is sliced, it’s ready for your 3D printer. Feeding the file to your printer can be done via USB, SD or Wi-Fi. Your sliced file is now
