A calculator is a device for performing numerical calculations. The type is considered distinct from both a calculating machine and a computer in that the calculator is a special-purpose device that may not qualify as a Turing machine. Although modern calculators often incorporate a general purpose computer, the device as a whole is designed for ease of use to perform specific operations, rather than for flexibility. Also, modern calculators are far m ...

Light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the eye (visible light) or, in a technical or scientific context, electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength. The three basic dimensions of light (i.e., all electromagnetic radiation) are: Intensity (or brilliance or amplitude), which is related to the human perception of brightness of the light, Frequency (or wavelength), perceived by humans as the color of the light, and Polarization (or angle of vibration), which is not perceptible by ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than that of the visible region, but longer than that of soft X-rays. It can be subdivided into near UV (380–200 nm wavelength), far or vacuum UV (200–10 nm; abbrev. FUV or VUV), and extreme UV (1–31 nm; abbrev. EUV or XUV). When considering the effect of UV radiation on human health and the environment, the range of UV wavelengths is often subdivided into UVA (380–315 nm), also called Long Wave or " ...

A web camera (or webcam) is a real time camera whose images can be accessed using the World Wide Web, instant messaging, or a PC video calling application. Generally, a digital camera delivers images to a web server, either continuously or at regular intervals. A webcam is also the name of a class of video camera devices which connect directly to the PC for the purpose of video calling over the internet. The first webcam was pointed at the Trojan room coffee pot in the computer science department of Cambridge Univ ...

Anti-reflective or antireflection (AR) coatings are a type of optical coating applied to lenses and other devices to reduce reflection from optical surfaces. This often improves the efficiency of the system; this is especially important if the light wasted by reflections is difficult to obtain, i.e. from a large telescope, an obstacle on a dark roadway, or an intricate optics experiment. They also have qualitative benefits like making the eyes of a glasses-wea ...

The Pioneer Venus Orbiter was inserted into an elliptical orbit around Venus on December 4, 1978. The Orbiter was a flat cylinder 2.5 m in diameter and 1.2 m high. All instruments and spacecraft subsystems were mounted on the forward end of the cylinder, except the magnetometer, which was at the end of a 4.7-m boom. A solar array extended around the circumference of the cylinder. A 1.09-m despun dish antenna provided S and X band communication with Earth. It was manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Company. The Pioneer Venus Orbiter carrie ...

Fusion reactions combine lightweight atoms, such as hydrogen, together to form larger ones. Generally the reactions take place at such high temperatures that the atoms have been ionized, their electrons stripped off by the heat; thus, fusion is typically described in terms of "nuclei" instead of "atoms". Fusion reactions on a scale useful for energy production require a very large amount of energy to initiate in order to overcome the so-called Coulomb barrier or fusion barrier energy. Since the positively-charged nuclei ...

The RCX is the most powerful programmable brick in the Mindstorms line. It contains a Renesas H8/300 microcontroller as its internal CPU. The brick is programmed by downloading a program written in one of several available programming languages from a PC to the brick's RAM via a special infrared (IR) interface. After program downloading and starting, an RCX-enabled Mindstorms creation may function totally on its own, acting on internal and external stimuli according to the programmed instructions. Also, two or more RCX bricks can communicate ...

The T-80 has been confused by some Western analysts with the Soviet T-72, to the point that some analysts wonder why the Soviets "chose to assign it a different model designation". However a quick overview of Soviet tanks and their histories provides clarity: the T-80 and T-72 are mechanically very different. They are the products of different design bureaus (the T-80 from Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau in Kharkiv, Ukraine, the T-72 from Uralvagonzavod at Nizhny Tagil, Russia), and really are only similar in general appearance. The T-80 is based on the earlier T-64, wh ...

Teletext - North America. The NABTS protocol received a revival of sorts in the late 90s, when it was used for the datacasting features of WebTV for Windows under Windows 98, and for Intel's now-defunct InterCast service (also for Windows as well), using a proper TV card (such as the ATI All-In-Wonder or Hauppauge's Win-TV). InterCast was a modern teletext-like system created by Intel in 1996, using a TV card installed in a desktop PC running Windows with the InterCast Viewer software. The software ...

UV light has many various uses. Ultraviolet - Black lights. A black light is a lamp that emits long wave UV radiation and very little visible light. Fluorescent black lights are typically made in the same fashion as normal fluorescent lights except that only one phosphor is used and the normally clear glass envelope of the bulb is replaced by a deep bluish purple glass called Wood's glass. To thwart counterfeiters, sensitive documents (e.g. credit cards, drivers licenses, passports) may also include a UV watermark that can only be seen when viewed under a UV-emitting light. Ult ...
