How about this business idea?

April 21, 2010 - 4:42 am 3 Comments

I was just thinking about random stuff like I always do, and this is what I came up with.

A business that provides service to the people. A service that looks for the best deals for the customer based on their needs. Now what does this mean?

-I thought of this after being sickened at all the false advertisements such as the "6 burger grill" that I bought, that can barely squeeze in two regular sized patties.-

This company will look at a form filled out by the customer, including the type of item they want to purchase, the minimum and maximum or needed specifications, and the minimum and maximum price. The company will then search through a database of gathered research and find the closest matching products, then examine reviews, quality, durability, and then decide which would be the best suited, and the best deal for the customer. Once approved, the company can search through a database of retailers that have that item in stock, and have them reserve it for you to pick-up, or place an order of shipment.

For example, say I want a new receiver for my home theater system. It needs to be black, have x amount of inputs/outputs, must have at least x amount of wattage, must be HDMI compatible with two ports, must be user-friendly, must fit inside a 2ft x 2.5ft x 3ft enclosure, and must be between $350-$600. Instead of spending my whole weekend running to-and-fro electronic stores, the company can look through and find which product best suits my needs.

This idea will keep people from getting ripped off by false advertisements, save hours of personal searching time by the customer, and allow the customer to get the best they can out of their money.
I don’t know what a price range would be for this service. I really haven’t thought of it much, just a 5 minute idea. What do you all think?

Even if it was a good idea…you just shared that with millions no lifers that got no jobs. (aka P&S users).

Mitsubishi USED to be the top television brand. I have one that still works great from years ago.

But they dropped the ball with HDTV.

Their first DLP television was priced at $9,999 - many times more than others.

For many years they made televisions w/o support for 720 - one of the defined HD standards.

They original had something called "The Promise" where you could buy the early generation of HD televisions and Mitsubishi promised to offer an upgrade-module for $300 to make it compatible with changes to the HD spec - but many people got screwed over when they failed to come through.

So … this is why that unit is so cheep. Mitsubishi is not well respected anymore and few stores carry them. Sony, Samsung, Pioneer and even Panasonic are better respected and considered more reliable.

my external hdd can’t be detected by my pc….what should i do?

January 4, 2010 - 11:52 pm 1 Comment

my 1tb iOmega Prestige External HDD can’t be detected by my PC..
I tried taking it off from its enclosure then use a USB-SATA cable but it still persists…
Recovery fees are costly and
i got like a 800+gb’s of important data in there.
I recalled that i have scanned it & left it on for about 5hrs.,3 infections were found so i took action & deleted it.After a day i tried but its not accessible anymore.
Can it be just some electronic malfunction due to prolonged use? coz’ as far as i’m concerned it’s still running smoothly & it doesn’t produce no weird sound either.

What should i do?
Pls.help

install the drivers needed to run it

How to Maintain a Variable Frequency Drive?

September 7, 2009 - 3:08 am 1 Comment

How To Maintain a VFD

Do you know how to maintain Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)? Doing so is easier than you might think. By integrating some simple, logical steps into your preventative maintenance program, you can ensure your drives provide many years of trouble-free service. Before looking at those steps, let’s quickly review what is a VFD and how it works?

A Quick Overview

A VFD controls the speed, torque and direction of an AC Induction motor. It takes fixed voltage and frequency AC input and converts it to a variable voltage and frequency AC output. See Training Note "What is a VFD?" for a more detailed description of VFD concepts and operating principles. In very small VFDs, a single power pack unit may contain the converter and inverter.

Fairly involved control circuitry coordinates the switching of power devices, typically through a control board that dictates the firing of power components in the proper sequence. A microprocessor or Digital Signal Processor (DSP) meets all the internal logic and decision requirements.

From this description, you can see a VFD is basically a computer and power supply. And the same safety and equipment precautions you’d apply to a computer and to a power supply apply here. VFD maintenance requirements fall into three basic categories:

keep it clean;
keep it dry; and
keep the connections tight.
Let’s look at each of these.

Keep it Clean

Most VFDs fall into the NEMA 1 category (side vents for cooling airflow) or NEMA 12 category (sealed, dust-tight enclosure). Drives that fall in the NEMA 1 category are susceptible to dust contamination. Dust on VFD hardware can cause a lack of airflow, resulting in diminished performance from heat sinks and circulating fans (Photo 1).

Photo 1, Fan Injecting Dust into Drive Enclosure

Dust on an electronic device can cause malfunction or even failure. Dust absorbs moisture, which also contributes to failure. Periodically spraying air through the heat sink fan is a good PM measure. Discharging compressed air into a VFD is a viable option in some environments, but typical plant air contains oil and water. To use compressed air for cooling, you must use air that is oil-free and dry or you are likely to do more harm than good. That requires a specialized, dedicated, and expensive air supply. And you still run the risk of generating electrostatic charges (ESD).

A non-static generating spray or a reverse-operated ESD vacuum will reduce static build-up. Common plastics are prime generators of static electricity. The material in ESD vacuum cases and fans is a special, non-static generating plastic. These vacuums, and cans of non-static generating compressed air, are available through companies that specialize in static control equipment.

Keep it Dry

In Photo 2 you can see what happened to a control board periodically subjected to a moist environment. Initially, this VFD was wall-mounted in a clean, dry area of a mechanical room and moisture was not a problem. However, as is often the case, a well-meaning modification led to problems.

In this example, an area of the building required a dehumidifier close to the mechanical room. Since wall space was available above the VFD, this is where the dehumidifier went. Unfortunately, the VFD was a NEMA 1 enclosure style (side vents and no seal around the cover). The obvious result was water dripping from the dehumidifier into the drive. In six months, the VFD accumulated enough water to produce circuit board corrosion.

Photo 2, Corrosion on Board Traces Caused by Moisture

What about condensation? Some VFD manufacturers included a type of "condensation protection" on earlier product versions. When the mercury dipped below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the software logic would not allow the drive to start. VFDs seldom offer this protection today. If you operate the VFD all day every day, the normal radiant heat from the heatsink should prevent condensation. Unless the unit is in continuous operation, use a NEMA 12 enclosure and thermostatically controlled space heater if you locate it where condensation is likely.

Keep Connections Tight

While this sounds basic, checking connections is a step many people miss or do incorrectly - and the requirement applies even in clean rooms. Heat cycles and mechanical vibration can lead to sub-standard connections, as can standard PM practices. Retorquing screws is not a good idea, and further tightening an already tight connection can ruin the connection (see Sidebar).

Bad connections eventually lead to arcing. Arcing at the VFD input could result in nuisance over voltage faults, clearing of input fuses, or damage to protective components. Arcing at the VFD output could result in over-current faults, or even damage to the power components. Photos 3 and 4 show what can happen.

Loose control wiring connections can cause erratic operation. For example, a loose S

This sounds like a laboratory project for physics or engineering. You might try to ask in engineering especially, as this is a very complex and long topic you’ve asked.
