The purpose of this paper is to answer questions about various data input and output methods‚ various storage types and devices‚ and the speed of a computer. Each of the four questions is divided into a corresponding section below. In the input device section‚ this paper focuses primarily on user input‚ rather than the input devices used to extract information entered by a user. In all of the presented cases‚ electronic scanning methods are the best method‚ and the method routinely used‚ to extract

case six Eastman Kodak: Meeting the Digital Challenge Robert M. Grant January 2004 marked the beginning of Dan Carp’s fifth year as Eastman Kodak Inc.’s chief executive officer. By late February‚ it was looking as though 2004 would also be his most challenging. The year had begun with Kodak’s dissident shareholders becoming louder and bolder. The critical issue was Kodak’s digital imaging strategy that Carp had presented to investors in September 2003. The strategy called for a rapid acceleration

Compare raster graphics from vector graphics. A raster graphics image‚ or bitmap‚ is a dot matrix data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels‚ or points of color‚ viewable via a monitor‚ paper‚ or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats. A bitmap corresponds bit-for-bit with an image displayed on a screen‚ generally in the same format used for storage in the display’s video memory‚ or maybe as a device-independent bitmap. A bitmap

The 30s Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard finished their studies as electrical engineersin the Stanford University in 1934. They became close friend and in 1939 they decided to start a business "and make a run for it" themselves. Hewlett-Packard Company is founded January 1939.Bill and Dave begin part-time work in a garage with $538 in working capital. Bill ’s study of negative feedback results in HP ’s first product the resistance-capacitance audio oscillator (HP 200A)‚ an electronic instrument used

line of digital cameras‚ sold inkjet printers‚ and bought a photo sharing site called ofoto.com‚ which it eventually rebranded Kodak Gallery. Those all sound like smart and reasonable decisions -- the company seemed to move with the industry -- but it wasn’t enough. In particular‚ Kodak was still implicitly married to an outdated business model that relied on people printing their photos. Kodak’s EasyShare brand‚ for example‚ married cameras and desktop printers in a way that emphasized convenient

Chapter 7 Digital Prepress Workflow Computer Basics The digital process was ushered in with the development of the computer. In the digital process‚ the computer processes information as binary digits or bits of information. A computer has electronic circuits which can be turned on and off at a rapid pace. A circuit that is turned on represents a value of one‚ and a circuit that is turned off represents a value of zero. A computer thus uses the binary system. People interpret and see

http://www.explainingthefuture.com/bioprinting.html In 2002‚ a Japanese scientist named Makoto Nakamura made the discovery that the droplets of ink in a standard inkjet printer are about the same size as a human cell which is between ten micrometers and one hundred micrometers. In 2008‚ Nakamura had adapted the technology of the inkjet printer and created a working bioprinter that can print out biotubing similar to a blood vessel. The 3D bioprinter allows scientist to place cells of almost any type into
