A graph is an important non linear data structure. This data structure is used to represent relationship between pairs of elements, which may not, necessarily, be hierarchical in nature. A graph is defined as: “Graph G is an ordered set (V, E), where V(G) represents the set of elements, called vertices, and E(G) represents the edges between these vertices.” Graphs can be of either type, Undirected Graph Directed Graph Figures below show sample graphs. V(G) = { v1, v2, v3, v4, v5 } E(G) = { e1, e2, e3, e4, Read More

Four digit security codes protect Kenwood car stereos from theft. If a thief steals a Kenwood car stereo, he/she will not be able to use the stereo until the secret four digit security code is entered. Unfortunately, many legitimate owners are also locked out of their Kenwood car stereos due to these security codes. This typically happens to people who buy used cars from people who forget to share the security code. However, it also happens to people who simply forget their security codes after several years. Common Kenwood Security Read More

Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP is actually a process or approach that attempts to consolidate all of a company’s departments and functions into a single computer system that services each department’s specific needs. It is, in a sense, a convergence of people, hardware, and software into an efficient production, service, and delivery system that creates profit for the company. While the idea is easy to grasp in theory, the reality has been different. Most companies have a conglomeration of different systems and procedures (as well as hardware and software) designed Read More

Ion propulsion refers to a method of space travel in which accelerating ions, rather than traditional chemical rockets, speed up a spacecraft. While ion propulsion produces very little thrust in comparison to chemical propulsion, it produces consistent acceleration that allows the spacecraft to eventually travel faster than a chemical rocket would. Ion propulsion requires an environment with no radical ions, which means that it cannot be used for air travel, and only works well in interplanetary travel due to its exponential acceleration. Ion propulsion also requires a rather large amount Read More

The iPod Touch is a dumbed down version of the iPhone. It can connect to the Internet, play music, and anything else. However, it cannot be used as a phone. In other words, Apple took their iPhone, removed the phone capabilities and then released the iTouch. With this in mind, using an iTouch is very similar to using an iPhone. Once you get used to the touch screen, it’s very easy. The first thing you need to do to use an iTouch is to plug it into your computer. If Read More

Green computing is the term used to denote efficient use of resources in computing. This term generally relates to the use of computing resources in conjunction with minimizing environmental impact, maximizing economic viability and ensuring social duties. Green computing is very much related to other similar movements like reducing the use of environmentally hazardous materials like CFCs, promoting the use of recyclable materials, minimizing use of non-biodegradable components, and encouraging use of sustainable resources. One of the spin-offs of green computing is EPEAT or Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool. EPEAT Read More
