It is common for those who receive hard water all over the world to attempt to find a plausible technique or treatment system to soften the water. Magnetic water treatment is a way to eliminate or reduce the water’s hardness. This technique is also referred to as Anti-scale Magnetic Treatment” (AMT). Those who magnetically treat water claim that passing water through a strong magnetic field changes water molecules and eliminates the need to chemically soften water. These claims are quite controversial as they have not been proven scientifically. How Does Read More

Windows Operating System (OS) users may encounter the NMI Parity Check/Memory Parity Error during the computer start-up process.

A thermocouple is a temperature probe that uses two dissimilar metals join at two places. The voltage created when the metals are subjected to a temperature gradient is used to calculate the temperature. There are many different types of thermocouple, each designed for a specific temperature and sensitivity range. How Thermocouples Work The thermoelectric effect, also called the Seebeck effect, was discovered in 1821 by Thomas Seebeck, a German physicist. He found that a metal rod generated a small potential difference between the ends when they had different temperatures. The Read More

Vegetable glycerin is a carbohydrate that is usually derived from plant-based oils and is used in consumer products like cosmetics and electronic cigarette liquids. A commonly used term for vegetable glycerin is vegetable glycerol. Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is organic. In order for it to be considered “food-grade” it must be 99.7% pure and the remaining percentage must be water. VG is naturally sweet, but since it is metabolized in a manner different from the way  sugar is, it is not known to raise the blood sugar level in people. It Read More

Svchost.exe is a system process that handles the processes executed from the dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). A number of services are run from the dynamic-link libraries and svchost.exe is the generic host process name used for such services. A Few years back, Microsoft decided to move all of the functionality from internal Windows services into the .dll files. The .dll files were created for moving the functionality from the .exe files for the sake of better re-usability. However, the .dll files cannot be executed directly and so, svchost.exe is required so Read More

RJ-11 is the standard connector utilized on 2-pair (4-wire) telephone wiring. RJ stands for “Registered Jack”- a physical connector interface most often used for telephone wire terminals. Though the RJ-11 connector has a total of 6 connector positions, typically either only 2 or 4 are actually utilized. RJ-11 connector wiring comes in two standard varieties- untwisted (flat-satin cable) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). RJ11 is the most familiar of the registered jacks, due to the fact that virtually all single line (POTS) telephone jacks in most homes and offices in Read More

In order for companies and organizations to stay ahead of the market on a daily basis, they must be able to quickly process the information that they gather from multiple sources. In order to do this efficiently, business entities almost always use some form of enterprise application integration software. Enterprise application integration software combines the data found in any number of applications into one client. Enterprise application integration software can also pull specific tools and functions from an application and add it to another program. In this article, we will Read More
