Ethernet Ethernet uses a protocol called CSMA/CD. This stands for Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, Collision Detect. The Multiple Access part means that every station is connected to a single copper wire, or a set of wires that are connected together to form a single data path. The Carrier Sense part says that before transmitting data, a station checks the wire to see if any other station

Evolution Of Cars Throughout the early 1900’s and as early as 1900 it was very common to here about men such as Henry Ford. Men such as Henry Ford were on their way to developing a motorized vehicle (Justin 1). Many early inventors had good ideas but not good products.

FIAT FIAT The subject of discussion was the design for the new Fiat Tipo, and a critical product aimed at replacing Fiat “Uno”. Cantarella (the general manager) had expressed doubts about the Tipo B’s design concept. He found the car boxy and uninspiring, and was intrigued by the possibility of changing the direction of the project. In addition, Cantarella was also considering sugges

Fiber Optic Fiber optics is a kind of optics dealing with the movement of light through fibers or thin rods of glass. If light is put at one end of a fiber, it can move through the fiber with very low loss of intensity, even if the fiber is curved. The simplest use of optical fibers is the moving of light to places hard to reach, for example, inside a dentists drill. Also, bunches of sev

Fiber Optics Fiber Optic History Our current age of technology is the result of many brilliant inventions and discovers, but it is our ability to transmit information and the media we use to do it, it that is perhaps most responsible for its evolution. Progressing from the copper wire of a century ago to today’s fiber optic cable, our increasing ability to transmit more quickly and ov

Fuzzy Logic Fuzzy Logic is a term used to identify a new trend of quantifying partial truths. One disadvantage of most rule sets that they cannot process inconsistent data. Fuzzy logic is a superset of conventional logic that has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth, being values that lie between "completely true" and "completely untrue".
