Are those two the same thing?

After refilling one of the Canon inkjets with the newer chipped carts
(ip4200, etc), one loses the ability to monitor the ink levels using
the printer's cirquitry and software. This is unfortunate.
It occurred to me that it would be quite easy to make a low-cost

When I look at this: http://www.fcai.fujitsu.com/pdf/standard7_wire.pdf
I don't know what exactly Haze & Transparency
So Is Transparency similar to "haze?" Are they both measures of
clarity?

Is a 10bit A/D be adequate for detecting the end charge condition for
NIMH & NICAD battery packs?

So, I'm trying to ID the components on the board of my cars cruise
control board (it's broken).  Now some I know, like a component with
"R43" next to it is a resistor, or "C12" is a capacitor, "Q16" is a
transistor, and "D1" is a diode.  But here are a few I don't know and

Hello again,
I have a vary basic voltmeter (mastech M-830B) and I have  a question
about the AC measurement setting.  I know that when you use it to
measure an AC wave form (sine wave) it shows you the RMS value, what I

wat ll be the output for high pass RC when a ramp input is given?

I want to test the pin-to-pin connections on cables and am using a
multimeter in impedance mode to test cable pin outs.  I have alligator,
banana and standard probes but the problem with them is that they touch
adjacent pins and are ackward to work with.   I once saw a probe that ...

I have done my homework (doing research). And I still like to
understand how to activate a pixel with a different color. I know that
within a pixel, there are three phosphor dots

I wonder what is the different between Character Height and Digit Size

Thanks.

I'm writing a program that interfaces with a device on the serial port and
in the documentation it says the folowing:
3.1.1.   Header:Code.
The Header:Code combination is configured thus:

I am playing around with the idea of building a budget waveform
generator at present. Ideally I would like 3 types of basic waveform:
sqaure sine and triangle. I would also like the ability to make such
waveforms asymmetrical, with its symmetry adjustable by a pot.

I have a question (mainly of academic interest) about capacitors.
I read in my physics text book that polar substances such as water have
a much higher dielectric constant (K) than vacuum because the polar
molecules align so as to negate the voltage across the plates.

I have a Gould OS4020 digital storage scope which is fitted with a GPIB
interface. I also have a 'Brain Boxes' brand GPIB translator thingy that, I
think, talks to centronics and RS232 ports. And a small laptop with parallel
and serial ports.

I wonder what the below properties mean

+ Impulse Sparkover
+ Impulse Transverse Delay
