PCI stands for (Peripheral Component Interconnect). It is referred as a computer bus and mainly comes in 32bit or 64bit variant. This is used by the computer to connect PCI video card, network cards, sound cards, tv tuners and etc. PCI-E Slots PCI Express stands for (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).It are mainly used over the old PCI Slots as its very high speed serial computer expansion bus. They come in different sizes: • PCI Express x1: 18 pins (25 mm) • PCI Express x4: 32
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. INTRODUCTION Portability and mobility of storage devices like flash drives and USB devices are becoming so popular to carry and transport data on the go. Unlike CD/DVD, hard drive, floppy disk or tape drive, a flash memory has no moving parts, so it guarantees fast read/write speeds and more durable compared to other forms of storage media. Using a flash drive/memory card to transfer a file typically uses a computer (e.g. laptop, pc, netbook or tablet) to initialize
The printer on the left is an INK JET PRINTER, and the other is a LASER PRINTER. | . | . | Hub | | | ------------------------------------------------- Hubs are devices that have many ports into which network cables are plugged. A hub takes the signal from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers through the network. Hubs come in different sizes and colors. The hub must be plugged in and turned on for the network to
What is a USB Flash Drive? The term USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is used to define a special kind of connection between a computer and other electronic devices. The connections can serve different purposes ranging from power supply to communication. A USB flash drive is a storage device that acts as a portable hard drive, but generally has a much more limited capability in comparison. As mentioned, their purpose is to store digital information and to transfer information between systems

processing code directly on a small microcontroller. Hence, for our purpose, the simplest approach would be to run the code on a computer, which has a webcam connected to it to take the images, and the robot is controlled by the computer via serial or parallel port. The code is written in a software that provides the tools for acquiring images, analyzing the content in the images and deriving conclusions. MATLAB is one of the many such software available which provide the platform for performing these
HUMAN INTERFACE MULTI-POINTING WIRELESS DEVICE Abstract: This paper describes a wireless mouse that can be controlled by a user’s arm movement alone .The main purpose of this mouse is to control various computer systems by a single user. It focuses on the invention of the arm controlled mouse that employs one tilt sensor placed on the hand. The primary goals of the system are to have a comfortable and easily wearable device without interfering with other everyday activities while tracking particular
On November 10, 2016, a new report was released to the public about a special type of microchip that can test the amount of viral load of HIV in less than 30 minutes. This test can be completely self administered. The user can check the viral load amount in the bloodstream by placing a drop of their blood on the microchip, which looks similar to that of a USB drive. This microchip is then inserted into a computer, tablet, or other handheld device. The results can be achieved in less than 30 minutes
