EXPANDED DEFINITION
Insulated Concrete Forms
Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) are a system of formwork for reinforced concrete that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior form for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking linked units that are stacked without mortar and filled with concrete. The forms lock together somewhat like Lego bricks and serve to create a form for the structural walls or floors of a building. It is not like the traditional wooden forms that are erected before the construction and once the concrete has hardened they are then removed. ICF construction has become common for both low rise commercial and highly energy residential construction as more stern energy efficiency and natural disaster resistant building codes are adopted.
DESCRIPTION
Definition, purpose and function
A mouse is an external computer hardware device that allows a user to control the motion of a computer cursor and select objects on the screen by moving and clicking the device. The mouse works on the basic principle that the movement of the device is translated into the movement of the cursor on the screen.
Overall Description and Operating Principle a hand-operated electronic device that controls the coordinates of a cursor on your computer screen as you move it around on a pad and on the bottom of the device is a ball that rolls on the surface of the pad.
Parts list
Right click cover
The right‐click cover is a small, curved piece of plastic on the top, front of a computer mouse that once you click sends a signal to the computer
Left click cover
The left‐click cover is a small, curved piece of plastic on the top, front of a computer mouse that sends a signal to the computer
Scroll wheel
The scroll wheel is a small wheel overlaid with rubber (or a similar low‐friction material) that is located between the right‐and left‐click covers that allows you to scroll up and down on pages on the computer
Track ball
