For high-quality free video editing software, the TopBits staff actually recommend two excellent Open Source solutions. When utilized together, these two video editing productivity tools provide a reasonably comprehensive digital video editing “bay”. Movica Movica is an ultra-compact Windows application that will allow you edit WMV and ASF files (using Asfbin) and MPEG files (using Mpgtx), which are two very decent command line editing tools. Movica provides you with a clean graphical user interface that makes the above two line editors user-friendly, and utilizes an exhaustive array of hot key Read More

A psychrometer is a type of hygrometer and is used exclusively to determine the relative humidity or moisture content in the air. Psychrometers represent an older humidity measurement form and electronic sensors that depend on changes in electrical resistance and capacitance rather than condensation temperature have widely replaced them. However, psychrometers are still found in many industrial environments and are available in both stationary and mobile versions. How Psychrometers Work Psychrometers consist of two thermometers, one dry and one wet. The wet thermometer is encased in a sock or cloth Read More

A flood is an instance where large amounts of water overflow the coast line of a body of water and flow throughout the nearby land. Whether it is brought on by excess rain or certain weather conditions, a flood typically brings with it an ample amount of destruction due to the ferocity of the water. Here are the causes of floods: Tropical Storms When a tropical storm or hurricane hits land, it brings with it considerable amounts of water. Due to the way in which a hurricane is formed, large Read More

Sometimes a subclass inherits a method from a superclass that doesn’t quite fit its needs. Perhaps the subclass inherited twenty methods and just one of them wasn’t quite right. In that case, the subclass would override that method by redefining that method itself. This override does not affect the method as defined in the superclass.

A laser video projector is a device that a video signal and converts the signal to a modulated laser beam to project moving images. It works either like the electron beams of a Cathode Ray Tube television or CRT which reads the whole picture a dot at a time and modulates a high frequency laser directly, or like that of a DLP which spreads optically as it modulates the laser and reads the image a single line at a time. Laser video projection can produce the widest range of colors Read More

A zettabyte describes a unit of data or information that is equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. The term is equal to a billion terabytes and the symbol ZB represents it. Zebibyte (ZiB) describes a measurement of data using the power of 1024. A single zettabyte is equivalent to 1,024 exabytes and is used prior to the yottabyte unit of measure. Due to the zettabyte’s large size, it is rarely used in industry to describe data storage or network throughput capacity. Examples of Zettabyte Use Over the past year, the total amount Read More

A transactional database is a DBMS where write operations on the database are able to be rolled back if they are not completed properly. If a transactional database system loses electrical power half-way through a transaction, the partially completed transaction will be rolled back and the database will be restored to the state it was in before the transaction started. Imagine that a front-end application is sending a customer order to a database system. The front-end application sends the request to product to the customer and subtract the product from Read More

A watt is a standard unit of power. It is equal to one joule of energy per second. For electrical power, one watt is equal to one ampere of current per second. History of Watt A watt was formally defined at an international conference in 1889. It is named after James Watt (1736-1819), a Scottish inventor famous for his steam engines that powered the Industrial Revolution. The symbol for watts is a capital letter W. Measuring Watts A watt is measured using a wattmeter. An analogue wattmeter uses a pair Read More
