Bosch K-Jetronic Fuel Injection System: Mechanical Operation

Bosch K-Jetronic Mechanical Fuel Injection System

The K-Jetronic system from Bosch provides a variable fuel flow, mechanically driven in continuous mode. This system performs three main functions:

  • Measures the volume of air drawn into the engine through a special flow meter.
  • Supplies fuel using an electric pump that sends fuel to a dispenser-distributor, providing fuel to the injectors.
  • Prepares the mixture: the volume of air drawn into the engine, depending on the position of the throttle valve, determines

What are the five elements that comprise an optical fiber cable?

Core, cladding, buffer, strength material, and outer jacket.

What is the standard core diameter for multimode fiber optic cable?

62.5 microns

What is the purpose of the cladding in fiber optics?

To trap light in the fiber core.

What surrounds the buffer material and prevents the fiber optic cable from stretching when pulled?

Cloud Computing: Services, Types, and Architecture

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network.

Why Cloud Computing Now?

  1. Experience with very large data centers: Unprecedented economies of scale and transfer of risk.
  2. Technology factors: Pervasive broadband Internet and maturity in virtualization technology.
  3. Business factors: Minimal capital expenditure and a pay-as-you-go billing model.

Fire Safety and Electrical Installations in Operating Rooms

Fire and Explosion Risk Prevention Measures

No rooms should be used with flammable anesthetic gas mixtures or disinfecting agents. Figure 2 shows areas G and F, which should not be considered Class I, Zone 1 and Class I, Zone 2 areas, respectively, as stated in ITC-BT-29. Area F, located beneath the operating table (see Figure 2), may be considered a safe zone from fire or explosion if ventilation of 15 air changes/hour is ensured.

The floors of operating rooms must be anti-electrostatic, and their

Material Properties, Classification, and Processing

Classification of Materials

Materials can be broadly classified into three categories:

  • Natural materials: Those found in nature.
  • Artificial materials: Those made from natural materials found in nature but have not undergone prior processing.
  • Synthetic materials: Man-made from artificial materials.

Material Properties

Sensory Properties

These properties relate to how a material interacts with our senses. For instance, garments made from natural products are often more pleasant to the touch, while synthetic

Television and Video Recording Technologies: CRT, LCD, Plasma, VCR, DVD

Television: Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)

A TV operates through an electronic process that converts electromagnetic waves into a quick sequence of images and sounds that replicate reality. The received signal contains information with different frequencies for color, light, and sound.

Traditional CRT-type TVs have a cathode-ray tube in which the received signal with the antenna creates a three-beam radiation of electrons. These are accelerated by the anode to the screen, covered with phosphorescent substances
