Digital Multimeter Calibration Purpose The purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction for the calibration of digital multimeters (DMM). Scope All multimeters (multi-range instruments used to measure voltage, current, and resistance) are to be verified in calibration no less than once per year. Procedure Preliminary Instructions and Notes 1. Read this entire procedure before beginning the calibration. 2. Calibration shall be performed in an environment that conforms to Manufacturer Specifications. 3. The digital multimeter will hereafter be referred to as the Instrument Under Test (IUT). . Verify that the IUT is clean. 5. Visually examine the IUT for any condition that could cause errors in the calibration. 6. If any of the requirements cannot be met, refer to the applicable manufacturer manual. 7. If a malfunction occurs or a defect is observed while calibration is in progress, the calibration shall be discontinued and necessary corrective action taken; if corrective action affects a measurement function previously calibrated, the function shall be recalibrated before the remainder of the procedure implemented. Reference Material Applicable Manufacturers Manual or Brochures.
Specifications The specifications of the IUT are determined by the applicable manufacturer's documentation. If the manufacturer's documentation is not available, then the specifications identified in this procedure are used. Equipment Required The Standards listed below should be selected on the basis of their higher accuracy level when compared to the unit under test. Equivalent Standards must be equal to or better than the Minimum-Use-Specification. Minimum-Use-Specifications for Standards listed are 1/4 the accuracy required by the IUT. * Rotek Model 2500 Calibrator or equivalent * Diode Test Fixture Test Leads * Continuity Test Fixture * Capacitance Test Fixture * Thermometer * Hydrometer Set-Up Turn all power on (calibrator and the unit to be calibrated). Allow the instruments to stabilize for approximately 5 minutes. Conduct the tests in an ambient temperature of 25 ± 5C and a relative humidity of less than 80%. Note: If the IUT has an automatic ranging feature, then the function being checked (i. e. voltage, current, or resistance) must be verified in the variable range mode as well. Battery Replacement Replace the battery in the IUT and make sure the battery contacts are not dirty.

Laptop buying guide * CNET UK * Reviews * Computers * Laptops Laptop buying guide Computers If you believe the headlines, the first rule about buying a laptop today is to forget about buying a laptop today. These bloated, annoying, space-hogging gadgets are apparently painfully obsolete compared to modern, sleek and sexy tablet computers. But just hold on a minute! Laptops still outsell tablets four to one, and sales in 2012 are expected to top a quarter of a billion worldwide for the first time ever.
Laptops are faster and more powerful than tablets, have convenient full-size keyboards, are easy to connect to printers and cameras, and can glide between work and games in a flash. (Plus they can all actually run Flash. ) If you want an affordable, practical digital all-rounder, laptops come in an array of shapes, colours and prices that make flat, grey tablets look boringly identikit. There are laptops for students, laptops for artists, even laptops for mountain climbers. The only drawback to this variety is that it can be all too easy to end up with a computer that's either underpowered or overpriced for your needs. First things first You'll need two things when shopping for a laptop: a clear idea of what you want to do with it; and a firm budget. The good news is that all new laptops ill be fine for checking email, surfing the Web wirelessly, working on office documents, and enjoying your photo and music collections. Where things start to get trickier is if you're heavily into gaming, want to watch (or edit) HD video or need a computer that works well away from power sockets or in extreme conditions. Fix a budget before you start browsing -- although leave a little wriggle room for extras like a laptop sleeve, software, a separate mouse and possibly an external hard drive. The basics Laptops come in three categories. At the small and portable end are ultra-lights, designed for stressed-out executives formatting Excel spreadsheets on the Heathrow Express.
Not to be confused with budget netbooks (we have a whole buying guide just for them), ultra-lights tend to be nicely designed, a little sluggish and shockingly expensive. Their screen sizes range from around 11. 5 inches to 13 inches. The next step up is everyday laptop computers, sometimes called notebooks, with screens from 13 inches to 15 inches. This is the sweet shop for laptops, where the most are sold and prices are keenest. Notebooks are light enough to carry occasionally and can usually manage half a day's work away from power, but budget ones often lack style, speed and build quality. The final category is multimedia (or desktop replacement) laptops.
These monsters have screens up to 17 inches (and sometimes even larger), and come packed with smart graphics cards, super-fast processors and lots of memory. They're the first choice of gamers, graphic designers and anyone who wants the power of an old-school desktop squeezed into a portable body. Well, we say portable, but these laptops can be heavier than a case of duty-free and bulky enough to need a Business Class seat to themselves. Windows or Mac Switch on the telly and it seems that everyone using a computer has an Apple Mac, except perhaps those hardcore hackers you see surrounded by monitors, empty pizza boxes and Star Wars figurines.
In real life, however, the choice is not quite so clear-cut. Macs are built well and age slowly but cost at least two to three times as much as the cheapest Windows machines. Even at those prices, the most affordable MacBooks have cramped screens and some performance limitations. Windows computers offer more choice and lower prices, but you'll need to stay on top of upgrades and security to get the best from them. When shopping for a PC laptop, insist on Windows 7 software. It doesn't really matter which version, although anything running the Starter Edition is actually a netbook rather than a laptop -- hop over to our netbook buying guide for more info. A bigger decision is what brand to buy.
Unlike desktops, where even no-name companies can make great computers, the technical challenge of squeezing hundreds of components into a tiny case favours multinationals. Stick with top electronics brands (such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Toshiba) or laptop specialists (Acer, Asus, HP/Compaq, Dell). Some retail chains also have 'in-house' brands that can be good value, if a bit plasticky. Tech specs Laptop specifications change all the time and consist of a brain-melting alphabet soup of letters and numbers. In general, there are three things to consider: the processor; memory (RAM); and storage. You can ask about other key components, like the graphics card and graphics memory, but don't expect to understand the answer -- check the model online if this is important to you.
Processors are virtually all dual-core these days, and are usually made by either Intel or AMD. There's little to choose between the two, although AMD silicon tends to be found in cheaper machines. Intel chips get more powerful as their model number increases (ie. an Intel Core i5 chip is faster than an Intel Core i3). Processor speed, quoted in GHz, affects how fast it can crunch numbers. Anything above 2GHz is fine for everyday use, but gamers and video fiends should look for higher numbers, and especially for Intel's Turbo Boost feature. RAM is the other thing that affects how fast your laptop runs. 2GB is an absolute minimum these days -- and step up to 4GB (or even 6GB) if you can possibly afford it.
Hard decisions Hard drives generally range between 250GB (miserly) to 1,000GB (1TB, gargantuan). These determine how much data, including music and video, you can store on your laptop. Always buy a little more storage than you think you'll need, but don't bankrupt yourself. External drives are getting cheaper all the time, and space-saving cloud services are increasingly popular. Apple's MacBook Airs, and some high-end Windows laptops, have fancy solid state drives that are faster, tougher and use less power. They're also achingly expensive and come in smaller capacities. Screen and build quality Always try to get your hands on a laptop before you buy.
Start by looking at the screen indoors and -- if possible -- near a window or outside. You'll probably find that Apple and Sony screens have the brightest colours and best contrast. If you do have to buy from the specs alone, look for LED backlighting and Full HD for the best resolution, found on pricier machines. '3D' is a buzzword right now and 3D laptops are already trickling out. While games and films can look stunning in 3D, the technology is still fairly young, fairly expensive and suffers from low levels of brightness and sharpness. Consume at your own risk. Don't underestimate the importance of a good keyboard, trackpad or navigation nipple.
Look for dedicated keys for mail, Web and especially media controls -- they all make smaller keyboards easier to use. Open and shut the case a few times and hold it in both hands. How heavy is it? Does it flex or creak? How strong does it feel? While it's hard to beat Apple for solidity and design, all the big brands have premium metal-bodied models, and Panasonic even has fully waterproof and toughened Toughbooks. In and out The best laptops have a choice of connectors, including multiple full-speed USB ports, HDMI sockets for linking to media systems and memory card readers. Some laptops will have DVD or even Blu-ray players, although these add weight and suck power.
A built-in webcam is great for Skype, Facebook or FaceTime video calls -- don't worry about its resolution. Spare a thought for the battery powering all this techno wizardry. Manufacturers' battery life figures are a rough guide, but take them with a pinch of salt and don't expect to achieve day-long use without resorting to a socket. If you simply must have mobile freedom, choose a laptop with a replaceable battery and buy a spare immediately -- they can be hard to find a year or two down the road. Ultrabooks Finally, keep an eye out for 'ultrabooks', a new term coined by Intel to describe ultra-thin PC laptops rivalling the MacBook Air. Expect machined etal cases, solid state drives and even touchscreen displays to make the most of new finger-friendly Windows 8. You can read our reviews of some of the first ultrabooks, including the Asus Zenbook UX21, the Toshiba Portege Z830 and the Acer Aspire S3. From G.

NATARAJAN) CLEANLINESS Introduction:
Cleanliness is one of the good qualities. It is a part of our civilization. A man of dirty habits is far from civilization. So, with the progress of civilization man cleans himself more and more. He cleans his body. He cleans his mind and heart. He cleans all his action and manners. he cleans his soul. This will lead him to the highest form of civilization. But on the cleanliness of body, depend all other cleanings. Hence, cleanliness is considered so important. Usefulness: If we clean our bodies and limbs we will be free form many kinds of disease. Clean food cooked in the clean pot and served in the clean dishes, will give us health and happiness.
If we clean our bodies regularly, our complexion will be brighter. We will look fit and smart. If we wear clean dress our mind will be happy. Cleanliness gives us a cheerful mind. We are more interested to write on a clean khata than on a dirty one. Hence, we write more and better. We like to read clean books. Hence, we read more and understand better. So, cleanliness brings us progress and improvement in all fields of activities and in all spheres of life. By cleanliness of body and limbs, cleanliness of all our articles of use, cleanliness of our dwellings and soul, we gradually move towards divinity. Hence, there is saying. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". How to keep clean:
In order to keep ourselves neat and clean, we should properly take daily care of ourselves, of our articles of use, of our dwellings and surroundings and of our neighborhood. We should clean our teeth and tongues two times a day in the morning and before going to bed. Beside, we should clean our mouth properly before and after each meal and each tiffin. We should was our bodies two times a day with soap and water. We should clean our cloth and shirts with washing soap everyday at the time of bath. We should sweep our house off all dirts. We should remove the filth and rubbish into a pit, dug out at a distance for this purpose. We should clean our beddings and lay them exposed to sun and air. We should look to the proper drainage and sanitation work of our house and the surrounding.
We should wash our house and furniture with soda and water once a week. We should advice our neighbors to be neat and clean. Because we cannot be perfectly clean, if our neighbors are dirty. We should wash our latrines and urinals everyday with dettol and phenyl. We should get our hair cut and our nails pared at proper intervals. These are some important to keep ourselves neat and clean. Conclusion: it is really a matter of sorrow that most of our students are dirty. It is very sorrowful when we think that they keep dirty. Though they read science and hygiene. To make our countrymen neat and clean we should put ideals in the public institutions. So, our students should learn to keep themselves clean regularly.
