Make it a practice to turn off the lights in your room Tips To Save Energy

 Make it a practice to turn off the lights in your room - Tips To Save Energy Lots of people today leave their bedrooms without turning the lights off. Although lights do not consume much electricity, lots of energy would be wasted if you constantly left them turned on for the most parts of the day, even if you are not inside the room. Thus, make it a practice to turn off the lights, so that you can save energy.  Make it a practice to turn off the lights in your room - Tips To Save Energy

Hofner Colorama II restoration project part 14 leveling and crowning the frets

The neck on this Hofner Colorama was originally quite badly back bowed, as shown here: In an effort to rectify this, we’ve tried three different approaches, as follows: 1. While re-radiusing the fretboard, more pressure was applied towards the middle of the neck in order to remove more fretboard material in that area. This would not straighten the neck, per se, but it would reshape the top of the fretboard in such a way that its top would end up being flatter. 2. When refretting, the fret slots were widened. When frets are forced into narrower slots, this has a tendency to force the neck to back bow, so we wanted to avoid this at all costs. The slots are still narrow enough to grip the new frets, but are certainly not overly-tight. 3. Obviously the truss rod nut was slackened as much as possible. In fact, even with the nut removed, the neck still maintained a back-bowed shape. It was noticed that the washer under the nut was wedged into place, and it was suspected that it might be pre...

Simple Real Time Clock Using the PIC16CXXX

A very simple real time clock electronic project can be designed using the PIC16CXXX microcontroller family , designed by Microchip Technology . This real time clock electronic project uses the Timer1 module, from a mid-range PIC16CXXX microcontroller, to control a low-power real-time clock. Timer1 was chosen because it has its own crystal which allows the module to operate during sleep. Upon power-up, the device is initialized with the display starting at 12:00 PM, and Timer1 is configured to generate an interrupt (every second). The Timer1 overflow interrupt wakes the device from sleep. This causes the time registers (HRS, MIN, SECS) to be updated. If the SECS register contains an even value (SECS = 0), the colon (":") is not displayed. This gives a visual indication for each second. Then the device returns to sleep. Real Time Clock Circuit Diagram For setting the clock are used three keys : SELECT_UNITS Key (S1) selects which units are to be modified (hours, minutes, off)...

Meet the worlds thinnest phone The Gionee Elife S5 1

The Gionee Elife S5.1 gets the title of being the world's thinnest cell phone and receives a certificate of Guinness Records. The cell has a thickness of 5.1mm. Being thin is not only important part for models but also for cell phones and tablets. Year after year we see as seeking to be thinner, but you are at a point where they are difficult to keep your 3.5mm earphone jack into such a slim body. S5.1 The Gionee Elife achieved Guinness record as the world's slimmest your body measures just 5.1mm. Most likely we will have to wait a long time before another product achieves Gionee beat Elife S5 and slim body. After all, some have even increased their cell frosor in recent years to have more powerful components, although there were only millimeters. The Gionee Elife S5.1 has a 4.8-inch screen (Super AMOLED), almost the same size of the new iPhone 6 (4.7 inches). Its screen has a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels, a 5 megapixel front camera, 8 megapixel rear camera, Snapdragon pro...
