The desire to improve sharjDness and viewing angle range led to the development of supertwisted nematic displays name suggests, STN displays have higher twist angles than the TN display, typically 220-270°. They are widely us laptop computers. 

A piping system can be evaluated for its displacement and stress either by manual methods (charts, tables, hand calculation) or computerized solution. The latter has become the standard approach desktop and laptop computers can handle all but the most compHcated problems. Manual methods are used only for rough estimates on very simple systems. 

Efforts to commercialize larger versions of rechargeable lithium cells have been fmstrated by concerns over product safety. MoH Energy Ltd. briefly introduced "AA" Li—M0S2 cells for OEM use in laptop computers and cellular phones. However, safety issues resulted in a product recall and a halt to commercialization of this product. 

Newer batteries can be divided into small rechargeable batteries for consumer electronics, cell-phones and laptop computers primarily, and larger advanced storage systems. The field of research on battery concepts and materials has recently... 

The Sony cell is rapidly outstripping all other batteries for such uses as laptop computers, especially since the electrode design has overcome danger of fire which held back earlier versions of the battery. It has an energy density of >200 watt-... 

After preparation, a checklist may be used by less expert engineers than the preparers for inspecting the process areas to compare the process equipment and operations with the checklist oidrcr on hardcopy or laptop computer. The analyst fills in the checklist according to observations from their inspection, process documentation, and interviews with operators and their perceptions. 

Another reason for choosing the automobile is its development as a mobile office. Cellular phones, laptop computers, and satellite linkups to hand-held conmiiinication devices—all of which arc getting smaller and smaller—have made it possible to be more productive from the roadways. 

Lexan, a polycarbonate prepared from diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A, is another commercially valuable polyester. Lexan has an unusually high impact strength, making it valuable for use in telephones, bicycle safety helmets, and laptop computer cases. 

Piezoelectric fans are small, low-power, relatively low-noise, solid-state devices that provide viable thermal management solutions for a variety of portable electronic appliances, including laptop computers and cellular phones. In these fans piezoceramic patches are bonded onto thin, low-frequency flexible blades driven at resonance frequency, thereby creating an air stream directed at the electronics components. Thereby, up to 100% improvement over natural convective heat transfer can be achieved (Acikalin et al. 2004). 

In distributed systems, each participating site must be equipped with a desktop or a laptop computer loaded with the distributed data collection system software to collect and enter data locally. In addition, each site is provided with necessary storage devices such as tapes, zip diskettes, and CDs and peripheral devices such as printers. Collected data are transferred periodically to the central location as files saved on storage devices, via phone modems, by FTP, or through wireless communications, where they are managed by a centralized data management system. 

Portable weather stations are useful to have available at the field laboratory for acquiring weather data during the course of the worker exposure/re-entry study. There are a variety of portable weather stations available from a variety of suppliers. Weather data to be collected are rainfall, wind direction, wind speed, air temperature, and relative humidity. These electronic weather stations will record the necessary weather parameters on a routine basis. The data are stored and can be transferred to a laptop computer or disk as desired by the Field Scientist. Such portable electronic weather stations are useful during the course of the dislodgeable residue portion of a worker re-entry study when dislodgeable residue samples are taken from remote test sites over the course of a 30-day period. 

The battery life in some laptop computers is a consideration. Some laptop batteries may last long enough to perform calibration and application some may not. Additionally, there may be unforeseen circumstances that may require longer access to the laptop or that may cause premature battery failure. In order to ensure that data are not lost, a source of backup power, such as a spare battery or an adapter that plugs into the vehicle cigarette lighter, should be available. 

An electronic version of Pharmacotherapy Principles Practice can be downloaded to a desktop or laptop computer using the access number that appears on the card inserted in the middle of this book. The Online Learning Center at www.ChisholmPharmacotherapy.com provides complete reference lists, self-assessment questions, a testing center that has the ability to grade and provide immediate feedback on the self-assessment questions as well as reporting capabilities, and other features designed to support learning. 

Another problem studied and solved with PCM products is the overheating of laptop computers. One of the possible alternative methods to the used the noisy traditional fans is to add a PCM pad under the computer chassis (Figure 168). When the temperature of the computer chassis rises to the melting point of the PCM, the temperature of the computer will be kept close to this temperature. 

Every year in the United States, billions of batteries are bought, used, and thrown out. In 1998 alone, over 3 billion industrial and household batteries were sold. The demand for batteries can be traced largely to the rapid increase in automobiles, cordless, portable products such as cellular phones, video cameras, laptop computers, and battery-powered tools and toys. 

What happens when you go to your primary-care physician Do you feel that he is engaged with you Does she make frequent eye contact Does he ask enough questions, and does she seem to listen when you answer them Or does he seem impatient and rushed, spending more time looking at a laptop computer than at you The way in which a clinician interacts with her patients can affect the outcome of treatment - and not just of treatment for mental-health problems, but treatment for physical conditions as well.1... 

Human Journaling. One of the team members should observe the running experiment and the data acquisition system and write down the observations of the team in a journal file on a laptop computer. 

The most ergonomically correct angle between the keyboard and the screen of a laptop computer is 100 degrees. This is called... 

Batteries have been developed from many pairs of chemicals capable of being oxidized and reduced. Some systems are rechargeable after the chemicals in the battery have been exhausted, the reactions can be reversed by the application of an external source of electricity. The lead-acid automobile battery is a familiar example. In many applications, such as cell phones and laptop computers, the weight of a portable electricity supply is critical. This has led to the development of batteries based on lightweight lithium chemistry, for which challenges still remain. 

A small modern desktop or laptop computer might have 200 or more megabytes of ROM and 4 or 8 gigabytes of storage capability. Computer storage capacities are constantly increasing to keep pace with requirements for data storage and manipulation.
