DBMS :: Database Managemet System.

A DBMS which keeps its physical structure hidden from the user is known as a transparent DBMS.

We know that, the collection of programs which performs specific tasks in a computer is called as software. Software in a computer is of two types. They are :

1. Aplication Software

2. System Software

System software is a computer program that performs the basic functionaility of a computer i.e, running a systems hardware and applications like loading programs, saving data, displaying, etc...

ICMP means Internet Control Message Protocol and is always coupled with the IP protocol (There are 2 ICMP variants one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.) echo request and echo response are the two operation codes of ICMP used to implement ping.

A Contact force is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. Contact force acts on a point of direct contact between the two objects. This force can either be continuous as a continuous force or can be momentary in the form of an impulse. Contact force is governed by Newton’s Laws.

Examples :: Contact force is responsible for most of the interactions we experience in the daily life.

1. Writing your name with a pen, pushing a car up a hill, lifting an object, etc...

2. Kicking a ball, hammering a nail, etc...

are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work.

In the first case, the force is continuously applied by the person on the car or pen or an object while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components

one perpendicular to the surface in contact called the normal force, and

one parallel to the surface in contact, called the friction force.

Hubs regenerate electrical signals, which are specified at the Physical layer.

1 TB  >  1 GB  >  1 MB  >  1 KB

1 Tb (Tera Byte) = 1024 GB

1 GB (Giga Byte) = 1024 MB

1 MB (Mega Byte) = 1024 KB

1 KB (Kilo Byte) = 1024 Bytes

1 Byte = 8 Bit

Hence, largest unit of information is TB (Tera Byte) and smallest unit of information is Bit.

MAU is Multistation Access Unit

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level.

Small UPS systems provide power for a few minutes; enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner, while larger systems have enough battery for several hours.
