Materials For Watch In The Future

Material innovations such as silicon or scratch-resistant gold conquer the watch industry . They improve durability and precision
Who is honest when it comes to watches, must accept a hard truth : Any quartz watch for 15 euros done their day's work more accurately than high-quality mechanical watches. Even if many of these complicated time indicator cost a thousand times more . Even on the basis of physical laws , the mechanics watches can not compete with the precision : Your Vibration and inhibition systems that set the pace for the entire clock , can never move as fast as the electronic " oscillator " in a quartz movement. This resonates with clock speeds of up to 32 768 hertz. For comparison: Mechanical components and materials vibrate usually with four Hertz (28 800 vibrations ) .

This encourages the researchers from Patek Philippe at for years to reach at least the limits of scientific possibility. May increase with the development of innovative components , for example , the accuracy and reliability of clocks. Here, some requirements are quite contradictory.

So must be a balance - also called regulator - be as light as possible , yet transfer a certain amount of energy . A task that causes design-related friction and air resistance values. At least the friction is tackled by oils. But any long-term use in the movement makes the fats resinous. The lubricant is the limiting factor .

In order to investigate new materials that can fix such problems , Patek Philippe merged with Rolex and the Swatch Group. They explore common features and uses of silicon, a material that has so far been mainly used in the chip industry . The competitors want so share the development costs. " And in the subsequent use of knowledge in the production, which was responsible for each partner individually, we were very quick ," said Patek -Philippe - chief and owner Thierry Stern would .

The Geneva set the dazzling semimetal regularly since then for the production of the escape wheel , hairspring, balance wheel or even the complete inhibition module here. Approximately in their model 5550P (pictured above left). Their inner life is hard key parts , shock resistant , lightweight, and does not need any lubrication. The result : The movement runs precise, and its power reserve increases from 48 to 70 hours.

The watches manufacturers appreciate the new material but also because of its Amagnetismus . Because magnetism is in addition to dust or moisture such thing as the natural enemy of correct conventional time measurement. Silicon prevents passage deviations to the stoppage of the train wheels . The face if magnetic force causes the armature and spirals out of rhythm . After all, Thierry Stern , " it is in the use of new materials in the first place always about precision ."

This looks Jean -Claude Biver different. The CEO of Hublot (LVMH Group) is also about looks and robustness. He married 24 -carat gold with a scratch-resistant zirconium oxide ceramic to 750 gold. For Hublot , the new substance " Magic Gold " , with other manufacturers ' Ceragold " means .


Hublot operation the three-year development be implemented jointly with the Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Their material scientists had to produce a pressure of 200 bar and fuel the furnace at 1400 degrees, to the ceramic ( ie, the technology " sintering" ) with the precious metal to connect . The result is a degree of hardness of the gold of 1000 Vickers. By comparison, the robust Titan has 970 , 700 steel and gold alone just 25 Vickers. The new Magic Gold largely prevents the disadvantages of this small house of hardness , which has been frequently performed with buyers of luxury watches because of emerging signs of use to trouble.

Dog Training Tips and Tricks

Play with Your Dog!


The handler and the dog play together with an object.

The dog does not play alone with the object.

The handler starts the game and he ended it again. It is then no longer even fought for the subject! We can / should the dog not tear out of the mouth, we decided to take the object. When pressure is required, then only the collar.

Commands are given once and then set accordingly.

Bring the handler not previously enforce his command in the position, he should better give no command.

If this has worked so far as we now have the object in his hand that the dog would like.

He is sure to do things that we require; walk, sit, stay, etc.

The dog training can begin!

Command foot


From the game out after we even now hold the object in our hands, the dog is walking command.

a) the dog runs good with, confirm after 3-4 steps at once by being played back (good dog) .., please go by and by the step increase number .. and please do not ever just straight!

b) the dog jumps like crazy beside us and vesucht to get to the object (is also a good dog because very strong drive)

If the error is avoided that the dog itself confirmed because the handler has the object does not control and can this "steal" from the dog ... but the dog handlers confirmed the dog when it is quiet for a moment, then he will stop quickly with the jumping.

c) the dog sniffing only on the ground, looks after other dogs and people ...

Interested in everything, except for his handler (rather bad).

Reasons for this may be:


1) The dog may have been confirmed wrong in advance;

Action: Dog sniffs on the ground - Reaction: The handler lures with sausage.

Also like to see ...

Action: Dog sniffs on the ground - Reaction: dog handler knocking with the tug on his knee, or wags the ball wildly in the air to get the attention of his dog again.

The dog is so for "sniffing on the ground" confirmed and has learned ...

if nose down, then comes reward.

The negative action of the dog, the handler may not encourage by a positive reaction.

  2) dog and handler can not properly play together.

But the dog shows no interest in the toy ... because is actually anyway played constantly with him, or because he much rather like the ball that stupid Tug ...

-Does the dog with beautiful and is appropriately conditioned from us:

No harassing and no Requesting the game lead to success, but only the desired tempo of us, just next to us, if possible shoulder at knee height and attentive look in expectation brings the reward!

We need to be consistent!

What happens when the handler responding for a long time on the actions of his dog?

The little dog baby already starts with it on, to try, to influence how situations are ...

How can I get the attention, if only the stupid colorful case is looked at in the living room closet.

And it's damn hard to resist this sweet look.

But the little dog is big and is then also very be consistent with us and possibly even his efforts with some pressure (nip in the butt, or loud barking) are trying to enforce.

And then stand up and ask: Why does he do this??

Answer: Because he has so learned it from us!

To get out of this vicious circle again must change his conduct with respect to the dog, the handler. The dog will adapt to the new circumstances.

The handler must not expect the dog by itself change his behavior.

  It is easier ...


  Not to let it only go so far

Touchscreen

resume
A touchscreen is a touch sensitive display, which allows electronic devices such as laptops or iPhone with your finger can be controlled. Besides the simple tapping icons on the screen with many devices a more detailed control possible using certain finger movements or gestures. In the multi-touch multiple simultaneous touches can also be converted to various commands.

A touchscreen is…

Especially since the release of the iPhone and touchscreen TV everyone knows what a touchscreen is. Increasingly popular are the touch-sensitive display that allows electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones and cameras through touching, are operated. The highly successful mini - game console DS ( i ) Nintendo uses the touch screen even to control the game .

Besides the simple tapping icons are in many touchscreens and multitouch gestures even more complicated as possible, with multiple simultaneous touches are converted . Certain tasks Thus, the display format can be changed by spreading or contraction of the thumb and index finger on the touchscreen.

The technology behind the touchscreen

The process of the different touch screens varies . In modern electronic devices such as the iPhone is usually a capacitive touchscreen . This relates to a glass substrate which is coated with a translucent layer of metal oxide. Using one of the edges of the applied voltage is low and a precisely uniform electric field with which a controller receives information and converts it into commands arises. Capacitive touch screens can be operated either with a finger or a pen (also called stylus ) .

Inductive touchscreens can only be used with special pens ( with integrated coil) . They are among others used in drawing tablets and especially appreciated because of their robustness - there is no pressure on the screen is required , the position is determined through the coil . As a result, a very solid surface material can be used .

In contrast, resistive touchscreens screen only responds to pressure which two electrically conductive layers make contact . On the basis of the electrical resistance , the position of the pressure point is determined . Rather outdated and very simple four-/five-/six-/seven-/eight-wire the touchscreens . They also operate with electrical power, which will be put. Via a different number of terminals ( wires ) in the vertical , respectively horizontal direction on the two conductive layers

To keep your digital camera batteries having a long life

Whether vacation photos or wedding pictures: When the batteries of the camera make the limp is getting annoying. We'll show you how they hold out longer.

Four Tips for stronger battery

New battery and battery technologies promise us again and again longer maturities, longer life and shorter load times. But not every digital camera is already equipped with the new and promising technologies. Since you have to push it a bit, in particular to ensure that the batteries do not fail at the crucial moment in terms of battery power before. Who conserve its not quite dewy battery and still want to get the most out of it, therefore, should consider a few tricks. Just put four pieces, which we introduce below.

Check the battery charge before use

Batteries lose charge continuously, regardless of whether they are used or not. That's one of the reasons why you should refrain from charging batteries, to leave it to gather dust in a drawer unused. Because if you do then after several weeks or even months access back to your camera, the batteries are almost discharged with high probability again - without even having their performance with a single image shot. While this is annoying, but an absolutely natural process. A matter is how fast the energy is lost again, but is the type of battery you are using. Non -rechargeable alkaline batteries are the most robust types. You lose in a whole year, only about one to two percent of their capacity. They are therefore ideal for storage and as an emergency reserve.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries are as much more sensitive. The widespread Ni-MH batteries lose up to one percent of energy per day. A fully charged Ni-MH battery should therefore be completely discharged after about three or four months without being taken, even once. If you have a camera with this type of battery, so load it before the next use necessarily again on - even if the last full charge is not so long ago.

Store batteries in a fridge

You might also hear that one of them that keeps batteries supposedly longer if you store in the refrigerator or freezer. And this is no old wives' tale. The storage in the refrigerator actually works - if one considers a few things. The freezing or cooling of batteries works because the chemical reactions inside that provide electricity, are temperature dependent. So if you store a battery or a battery in a cool place, prevent or restrict this process and the batteries lose energy more slowly . But as it stands in this respect to the aforementioned alkaline batteries, even in the normal state lose very little energy? If you still outsourced this type of battery in the fridge or freezer, thereby achieving almost no effect. By this storage alkaline batteries lose at most a fraction less capacity per year. Use this space so better for a delicious vanilla ice cream or frozen pizza for the next guys' night. Use the other hand, a rechargeable battery, which makes storage in a cool place a lot of sense. According to Greenbatteries.com retain as stored batteries after a month, around 90 percent of their energy.

Preheat your batteries

Take your camera outside in the winter or skiing holiday? Then maybe you've also had times the problem is that the batteries give up at low temperatures faster than usual the mind. This happens for the same reason that is described in the article previously: the cooling impedes the chemical process in the batteries, which is responsible for the generation of electricity. Conversely, this results in: the warmer the batteries, the faster the chemical reaction proceeds to produce energy. So if the camera batteries fail during the next photo in the snow, take it out of the camera and warm them for a few minutes, for example in the glove or pocket. If you manage to heat the batteries, you can continue the cool photo session - until the next hibernation.

Use your camera to shoot exclusively for photos

You should some over-zealous shutterbugs keep reminding that a camera is intended primarily for taking photos - no matter what shenanigans else they dominated . Because: Each function electricity costs. So if you only have one battery and is no way in sight to fill if the battery again, then let the bauble with GPS, a digital photo album or adding captions rather be. Stick to the basic properties.
Likewise, it should be mentioned that special camera settings consume more power than others here. Example, if you often shoot night scenes, thus prolonging the exposure time, it costs significantly more battery power than a normal shot during the day. So if you want to shoot those special effects photos, keep in mind that you can record a total of fewer images, as with normal settings. Who wants to play it safe, a spare battery has the best always there.

How can you revive your laptop battery


Mobility is a big issue nowadays, and that is why many people buy laptops for their daily life and office work. By using the battery of your laptop, regardless of the date of manufacture of the battery capacity will decrease slowly, especially when exposed to high temperatures.
Of course, there will come a time that your laptop battery will die. It is to be expected. After all, everything has an expiration date. The shelf life of a rechargeable battery is generally around 800 charge- discharges, which would mean at least two to three years of battery life with average use. You will notice that the battery gently into the delivery of charged energy, and when the time comes where your battery is low, most people decide to get a new battery instead of trying to revive buy, think that the revival of the battery is too much hassle to deal with. In fact, the revival of your laptop battery is dead simple. Here are quick tips on how to revive it.
Disconnect the laptop from the AC adapter and use all the electricity in the battery. Some people use a multi - meter to measure how much power is left on the battery, and some use power management tools.
Wrap the battery in newspaper and place it in a zip -locked plastic bag. This is not a fluid in contact with the battery. Make sure the battery is not exposed to moisture, as this short-circuits the battery.
Keep it in the freezer and leave it for at least twenty-four hours. Twenty-four hours is enough for some batteries, but other types may be a week or longer.
After freezing at least overnight, take it out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature. Wipe traces of moisture with a soft cloth. Condensation of moisture
Connect the battery to the laptop AC adapter and charge the battery up to one hundred percent load. Then drain the battery and charge up to one hundred percent again. Repeat the charging and discharging cycle at least four times to repeat from step 1. To check whether the battery is revived , and if not , the same procedure Also, keep in mind that sometimes the AC stops charging the battery before charging it fully this is normal . When this happens, simply detach the battery from the laptop and AC reconnect.
These steps are a way not only to save money on buying new batteries , or worse new laptops , money is only one way to save Mother Nature. Please note that batteries contain toxic waste and harmful if not properly.

With these tips, your laptop battery will last longer

Keep your laptop plugged in most of the day to keep it charged this is detrimental to the battery life.

It is not so very long ago that a colleague asked me if it was or was not doing good for the life of the batteries that power it had hung. Throughout the day in her Macbook Honestly, I did not know the answer. I thought with modern lithium - ion and lithium polymer batteries not much matter anymore unlike the nickel based hybrid batteries that were used in our mobile devices.

Maximum capacity the battery would be smaller charge capacity as it were ‘remember’. Well, I had read somewhere that it would be to them once every few months completely deflate properly for modern lithium batteries and then to recharge. 100 percent that would help calibrate electronics battery.

Wired last weekend seemed lighter on the life of the battery bank by talking. Having a battery expert Isidor Buchmann CEO of Cadex Electronics, a specialist in making battery chargers and battery test equipment told wired how you can extend its lifetime. Modern battery sharply

In a nutshell, it means that the lithium - ion and lithium polymer batteries are not depleted but not completely full of love . Under ideal circumstances, you would according to Buchman your battery recharge when it dips below 40 % capacity and pull the plug again at 80 % . According to the CEO, this sometimes prolongs the life of your battery up to four times.

His company sponsors the Battery University site where you can find. Anything you want to know about batteries According to Battery University is a battery charged to 100 percent every time , about 300 to 500 discharge cycles along as a battery charging to 70 percent between 1200 and 2000 discharges can join . The charging is only part of the story.

Modern batteries also do not like high temperatures that cause a lot of stress and also reduce the lifespan. The battery is fully charged and further subject to high temperatures is the least durable. That's according to the Battery University situatue if you use your laptop while you 're hanging out on the power. Those batteries would last an average of only two years . The best , according to the site to the plug while working to pull out and pass it back in stabbing when the battery reaches 40 percent. Then you will extend the life of your battery considerably.


However, battery technology remains something mysterious. For years, it is claimed that the modern lithium batteries do not suffer from the memory effect characteristic of the previous generation batteries. A recent study by Toyota concluded that the modern batteries, how do indeed suffer from the memory effect. To a lesser extent, So perhaps the advice once in a while completely deflate your smartphone or laptop battery and then to one hundred percent charge really helps. What are your experiences with this?

13 Tips on Choosing a Laptop

Netbook, Ultrabook or desktop replacement: When buying a portable computer wait numerous melodious product names on the consumer. What you really need to pay attention instead of these marketing terms that betrays our buying guides.
Gone are the days when laptops cost more than 1000 euro. Useful notebooks you get already for 300 to 400 euro - which you of course can still spend four figure sums (for example, the MacBook Pro Retina series of Apple). The selection is huge, and depending on the intended use, you should pay attention to different features.

The computer is mainly on the desk or take with you every day? Serves he "only" for surfing or he needs a lot of computing power for graphics editing and gaming? Help you build our buying guides determine your needs and have at the end a list of the properties that must fulfill the suitable to your notebook.

1 type
The laptop manufacturers use different marketing terms to distinguish notebook models. Netbooks are cheap small models with little computing power. Ultrabooks are slightly larger, have more power and are mainly lighter and thinner than a standard laptop. As a desktop replacement large, heavy models are called notebook, which are most of the time on the desk and are rarely moved.

Conclusion: The design is a first indication of size and features of a notebook.

2 screen Size
The screen size is critical to the size and weight of a laptop - including how handy it is. A standard notebook has a 14 to 15 inches (35.6 to 38.1 centimeter) display. So it is good for quite occasional takeaway. Ultrabooks or sub-notebooks with 11 to 13 inches (27.9 to 33.0 centimeters) wide screens, however, are for daily use on the road more suitable. 16 to 17 inches (40.6 to 43.2 centimeters) wide gaming notebook or desktop replacements you will but rarely want to wear through the area. The most ten inches (25.4 centimeters) wide netbooks are ideal for traveling. However, they are increasingly replaced by tablet PCs.

Conclusion: The screen size determines the mobility.

3 Matt or glossy display
If two notebooks with matte and glossy display next to each other, the choice seems clear. The glossy screen is clearer and has more vibrant colors on. Who but longer looking at a monitor, will notice that a matte screen is better for the eyes, especially if you travel a lot with the notebook and uses it in direct sunlight sometimes.

Conclusion: Glossy displays look more beautiful, but matte screens are easier on the eyes and do not reflect.

4 touchscreen
A touchscreen is worth a notebook only if the operating system and the daily used programs are designed for operation using finger touches. The controls are correspondingly large and the structure is built up sensible change frequently finger from the keyboard to the screen and back. Cases, the icons and menus, however small from the touchpad is still the first choice in the operation and the touch screen remains unused.

Conclusion: A touch screen gives only with the appropriate software sense.

5 Processor and graphics card
More important than the clock rates of processors are now the respective series, which potentially provides each new processor generation more power and consumes less power. The slow series are sufficient for typical Internet and office applications as well as for watching films. Who wants to edit images, and occasionally also in other programs do not like waiting, should rather enter the same in the notebook middle class. The premium chips are needed only for gamers, video editors and graphic designers.

All modern processors feature an integrated graphics chip. This has enough power for the display of Full HD video (1080p) and the most common applications. Only for games and complex graphics calculations is an extra graphics card - with its increased space, cooling and power requirements - is required.

Conclusion: High-performance processors and graphics cards require only graphic designers and gamers, all other rich normal chips.

6 Memory (RAM)
The RAM is decisive for how fast a computer runs. Less than two gigabytes of RAM should not get stuck in the new notebook. Better even four gigabytes. Eight or more gigabytes are required just for games and graphics applications.

Conclusion: Two gigabytes of RAM are the minimum.

7 weight
The lightest laptops weigh about one kilogram. However, the necessary materials for housing (e.g. aluminum) as well as its overall design make them much more expensive than the standard models with their 2 to 2.5 kilograms. Weighs the notebook even more, it should have a permanent place and are rarely worn.

Conclusion: Especially, when the mobile host goes daily on trips, it should be easy.

8 hard disk
Currently, two different types of hard drives compete in the notebook with each other, the traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and the significantly faster flash-based SSD storage. HDDs with their rotating disks are significantly cheaper, but sensitive to vibration. They also develop a higher operating temperature. SSDs are faster, however, virtually noiseless and insensitive to shocks. They use less power and generate hardly any heat. A compromise form hybrid hard drives that combine a HDD and a smaller SSD. On the SSD mainly for data operations are stored that need to be accessed quickly. Only occasionally needed data is on the HDD.

Conclusion: SSD are a prerequisite for a fast and insensitive ready for use in notebook. If you are afraid the higher price gets to a device with a HDD still quite satisfactory performance.

9 drive
Do you want to watch DVDs on the laptop, of course, he must have an optical drive. Otherwise, you can also choose a model without drive. New programs are always available for download, and data that does not want to send by e-mail friends, can be easily transmitted with a UBS stick in the Internet in general.

Conclusion: An optical drive is not absolutely necessary in times of USB sticks and stable Internet connections.

10 Keyboard and Touchpad
Try the keyboard and the touchpad on a laptop before buying. Everyone here has different preferences and comes with the laptops closed for reasons of space tradeoffs differently along well.

Bottom line: keyboard and touchpad often receive little attention, but are immensely important for the daily work. Try before you buy.

11 connections
For notebooks up much less space for interfaces is available as desktop PCs. A notebook should have at least two USB 3.0 ports. About them can be external mice and keyboards and disk drives connect. Depending on your own needs should be a slot for memory cards eighth (from digital cameras), and VGA, HDMI or DisplayPort connectors - for connecting projectors and external screens. Other types of connections (eg Firewire) harm nothing, however, only rarely needed.

Conclusion: Two-time USB 3.0 is mandatory, all other connections are necessary according to personal needs.

12 Battery time
The manufacturer's instructions regarding the battery life only partially correspond to those in real usage. Who looked at many HD videos and is constantly connected to the wireless network, will the battery need to recharge faster again. In addition, the space requirement: The more powerful a battery, the larger and heavier it is - and thus the laptop also. Buyer should note that the power consumption increases and the capacity of the notebook and screen size.

Conclusion: For the battery life, the right settings - for example, the screen brightness - more important than the information provided by the manufacturer.

13 software
The notebook manufacturers have contracts with software vendors. To install the programs from the factory on the new devices and apply them. However, it is at the pre-installed applications are primarily to test versions of limited duration, intended to motivate purchase.


Conclusion: Except for the operating system software should not influence the purchasing decision

Buyer's Guide: How to buy the right laptop

From friends and acquaintances I'll often asked: "I wanted to buy a laptop soon, can you tell me there recommend something?
There are several criteria and details, adjusted to the appropriate user, which should be considered when purchasing.
In the following article I will try to summarize briefly after which procedure lay a buy laptop can.

Display: Calculate Ideal Screen Size

5
First of all, you should definitely be aware, what screen size is right for you? The size of the display is often expressed in inches ("), the length is always based on the screen size (ie, the distance from the bottom left corner up to the top right-hand corner) refers. In the following, all common sizes are ascending, including utility models, described:
Netbooks and subnotebooks usually have a size between 10 and 12.1 inches and are suitable due to their small size, especially if you Move times in the cafe or at the university just quickly in surf internet or want to check email. These types of laptops are usually only as big as a book. For longer works, however, such a device, but not because of the small screen and the mostly poor performance, is suitable.
If one possesses at home already has a right desktop PC with a correspondingly large monitor and would like to work reasonably well outside the four walls and still be mobile, such a device is recommended with a screen size to 13 or 14 inches .Even the female sex, this laptop, not only because of the relatively low weight, especially preferred. So-called Ultrabooks, which are particularly narrow and thin, are often delivered with 14" or similar dimensions.
For those who want their laptop preferably used as a home computer or have no problem with transporting the machine to dimensions suitable for the 15-inch or larger. The price-performance ratio of this class of devices, due to the high sales volume, is usually better compared to smaller model classes.
To learn from the specified inch size, the actual size in inches you can use Google for translation by using their example, the following term: 14inches in cm.

Processor: Current generation

i
The heart of your laptop, the processor is immediately said how fast a laptop. Pay attention when buying that the corresponding processor, mostly from the company Intel or AMD, from a recent series or generation (eg Intel 4th generation i-processors). These are usually faster than their predecessors, despite the same number of cycles.
In normal market notebooks are mostly found i3, i5 or i7 processors. In normal everyday life, hardly aware of which of the three you actually possesses. In contrast to the i3 i5 has a turbo mode and can under heavy load automatically overclocks (made faster) be. An i7 brings again additionally more powerful than the i5, but you can find the best value for money in the i5 .
o    i3 : Bureau / Surfing/ Film
o    i5 : Office / surfing / movies / games +
o    i7 : Office / surfing / movies / games + +
Graphics Card: Do I need one?
In the current i3 to i7 processors have integrated graphics processors, called IGPs , usually available. These meet the requirements of older or not graphically complex games, such as "CS: GO" or "League of Legends". However, if you want the laptop as a gaming PC use, so a separate graphics card in the notebook is almost indispensable. But beware, some graphics cards cut in the benchmark tests, where appropriate, worse than the already integrated graphics processors. Look at best on various performance comparisons of graphics cards to find out the performance in comparison to the IGPs.

Ram: 4GB rich (almost always)

s
Normally rich 4GB RAM for a 0815 users. When you purchase the laptop however, it should be ensured that it is at least to DDR3 Ram is (eg: 1333MHz (1x 4096MB)). If you want to eventually install another RAM module. Only one Ram module on the appropriate size should be installed because the notebooks with usually only two slots available.

HDD: 500GB is more than enough, an SSD would be great

Meanwhile in laptops from 14 inches almost always a relatively large hard drive, usually 500GB installed. That's enough for more than 100 films FULL-HD per 4.7 GB or 100,000 images per 5 MB, so perfectly adequate for 95% of all users.
If it is possible, it makes sense to buy the laptop with a so-called SSD hard drive, or in combination with a HDD. Unlike normal hard drives here, the data are not stored by the magnetic disk, but electronically, as in the USB stick. Access times, write and read operations are here mostly shorter and energy-saving. The whole system works a lot faster then what you highly perceive just at startup.

Read customer reviews

Another important aspect of the laptop purchase is the feel, ergonomics and processing of a device. These criteria can, however, difficult to read out of the product description, so it is convenient to read customer reviews of other buyers. On websites, you will find interesting and helpful for almost all models reviewsAt a product rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars by more than 200 customers you can be almost sure that the appropriate device will not be a bad buy.
I hope I could help one or the other lay on the purchase of a device.

How to Extend the Life of a ASUS 1005HA battery

Over time, the wear ASUS 1005HA battery down with repeated charging and discharging. Your use patterns and habits can make a difference in how long it takes to wear down the battery, though. Here's how to avoid those expensive laptop batteries to replace so often. Remove the battery from the laptop if you do not your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more). expose the battery to high heat. leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries very quickly discharged. Plug your laptop charger adapter into a UPS and not directly into a power outlet or surge protector. , if you have a nickel-metal hydride battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to their ability to maximize holding a charge. Fully charge new battery packs before use. fully charge and discharge a new battery must (cyclic) a few times before it for the full capacity. For laptops that work around as a desktop replacement , install the battery every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge him. leave a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time. hold This is the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will increase the life reduce the battery. Adjusting the screen brightness. If you use Windows on your laptop, there is an option in the Power Options control panel that helps you optimize the power consumption. You can use the laptop to idle when not in use for some time. It is also possible to adjust the brightness of the display on the laptop. This can make it longer battery life. program overload. Perform only the programs that you use at the time of use. Programs that run in the background, use more system resources and drain laptop battery. Keep a spare battery: A good idea is to have a spare battery. ASUS  battery are affordable and easily purchased online these days from the electronics sites. At least one fully charged at all times for a quick battery change. Some laptops can run with two batteries. Some laptops are also compatible with external batteries that can easily be added if needed.

How to connect a projector to a laptop?

This guide is meant to help all those who seek your projector to the laptop to connect but it just does not want to work. 

1 Notebook and projector stand up as they should stand later.
Beamer and laptop are still off.

2 Make the cable connections.
Insert the power cable from laptop and projector into a 230 volt outlet. now the cable connecting the projector and laptop connect. This cable and the socket is called VGA cable. 

VGA cable VGA cable into laptop and projector (the computer always IN jack use)














Some laptops and projectors still called a DVI connector, this one has a slightly better quality. If such connections are present, between projector and laptop  and a DVI cables are connected. This is done on the same white as the VGA cable. 
So the VGA connector looks.

First, turn on the projector and then turn on the laptop, in most cases, the projector then projected the image onto the canvas. If this is not the case, you can try the following.

4 Troubleshooting
- All check cable connections, especially the VGA cable is plugged into the correct socket on the projector (always pay attention to input or input or PC).  
- Check if the projector to the input signal "PC" or "Computer" is set. Many projectors have a button on the cabinet or the remote control where a search can be started. When this button is called Epson for example (source or Search) and looks like this. Now the projector investigated whether a signal is present at the socket or not.
- The most laptops have a hotkey to control the projector. Most need to FN and a further buttons are pressed simultaneously.Depending on the PC are the F5, F7, or F8, which is usually a symbol like the under on the keys. Depending on the manufacture must F. .. Button is pressed for a few seconds or two times pressed successively, that must try and read it.

Or just press Win + P key combination.

If it still does not now then you really need to ask someone who knows.

5 Working with the extended desktop
Windows 7
The extended desktop is a great feature leaky it will briefly explain here. If you connect your projector to the notebook is normally your screen simply copied to the screen. That is all see what you are doing, you have on the desktop (your PC) which symbols or what picture. But that can be really stupid at Yugos, presentations or other situations. For the audience to be distracted and  unfocused.  
Since Advanced Desktop helps. In this mode, the PC does not simply copy your screen special shows only what you want.This makes especially in powerpoint or if you work with song Beamer, meaningful. 
With Windows 7, this is done using the command "Connect to a projector make the Start menu, then this window Öfent and you simply select" Extended "from. 
Now you can with PowerPoint or http://www.songbeamer.de/  just start your presentation, and no one sees her as she starts.photos must be clicked with the mouse and placed over the right edge of the screen to the big screen.
