CDs and DVDs store large amounts of fixed data and programs on compact discs that can only be read from. Tape is used for backup storage and can store large amounts of data sequentially. Proper ergonomics are important when using computers and mobile devices to prevent injury.
The document discusses the basic components of a computer, including the monitor, keyboard, mouse, case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive, video card, sound card, speakers, CD-ROM, CD/DVD burner, Ethernet card, and operating system. The monitor displays the visual output, keyboard allows for text input, and mouse controls cursor movement. The case houses components like the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and hard drive. The motherboard connects components and the CPU processes data. RAM temporarily stores data and the hard drive permanently stores data. Additional components like the video card, sound card, and Ethernet card enhance functionality.
The document discusses USB (Universal Serial Bus). It provides details on the history and development of USB, including its features and versions. It describes USB cables, connectors, ports and their uses. It also discusses USB pen drives, their advantages for data transfer and storage, and the top five uses of pen drives including file transfer between devices, backup storage, and adding memory via ReadyBoost.
The document discusses the main components of a computer hardware system. It describes the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, memory, storage devices like hard disk drives, floppy drives, CD-ROM drives, and DVD drives. The motherboard contains connectors for attaching these components and controlling peripheral devices like the keyboard, mouse and monitor. It provides power connections and slots for the CPU, memory and expansion cards. Storage devices vary in speed, capacity and cost, with hard drives being fastest and highest capacity, and floppy drives smallest and cheapest.
The document discusses the basic components of a computer system:
1) The CPU controls all computer activities and performs computations using an arithmetic unit and control unit.
2) Primary memory (RAM) is where active data and programs are temporarily stored.
3) Secondary storage devices like hard drives are used to permanently store data and transfer it to primary memory when needed.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

transforms the character to 01000001 then save it.
This code is composed by 8 numbers which are 0 and 1.
1 is called bit.
0 is called bit.
The character “A” is coded using 8 bits.
8 bits =1 byte
The character “A” is coded using byte.
The Byte is the unit of measurement of data.
33. Difference between storage medium
and storage device
Storage medium Storage device
The physical material that
actually holds data is called a
storage medium
The hardware that writes data to or
read data from a storage media is a
storage device
34. Magnetic storage Media
A m a g n e t i c d i s k ' s m e d i u m
contains i r o n p a r t i c l e s ,
which can be polarized—given a
magnetic charge—in
one of t w o d i r e c t i o n s .
A disk drive uses r e a d / w r i t e
h e a d s containing
electromagnets to create magnetic
charges on the
medium.
Why They Call
It a magnetic
Medium
36. Floppy disk, or diskette,
is a flexible disk storage
medium, the usual storage
capacity is 1.44 MB They are
read and written by a floppy
disk drive
Floppy disks have just about
disappeared from the
computer world
37. A Hard Disk Drive is the central
storage of a computer. Hard
drives can be external or internal,
and store all data present on a
computer. They can range from
80GB and below to 2TB or higher.
Hard disk drives are composed of
rapidly rotating disks. The speed of
a hard drive is dependent on the
RPM (rotations per minute)
