By Lance Ulanoff  \nImagine a world where all your portable devices can be charged and powered simply by placing them on a desktop. Chip manufacturer MobileWise has gone well beyond imagining such a world and this week unveiled "a conductive solution" that it believes can make it all possible.\n\nDuring a mid-day press conference in chilly New York City, MobileWise showed off a handful of functioning prototype powerbases and retrofitted mobile devices that all use the company's new MobileWise chipset and enable "Wire-Free" electric power. One chip, the tiny Adapter Controller, goes inside the mobile device and the other, the Contact Controller, gets built into the power base station. These power bases, which were shown in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, are each covered in an array of gold-plated contacts. The retrofitted mobile devices also have a pair of contracts. With properly configured handheld devices, the bases can, according to company CEO Andy Goren, change any flat surface into a charging/power station.\n\n \n \n \nThe patent-pending technology behind the MobileWise is, on the surface, quite simple. The adapter chip inside the handheld device will, when placed on a base station, receive a very small electrical signal and message from the base controller chip that will power up the adapter chip. The base controller chip will sense for polarity. If there is none (say you place your hand on the base) then it does nothing. If it does find polarity and then a signal from the adapter chip, it will then read information about the voltage level necessary to run the mobile device and begin charging and powering it. Because of the array of contacts—from dozens to hundreds, depending on base size—there's no need to place the device in a special spot or position on the base. In fact, during the demonstration we saw the bases accept multiple devices, charging and powering them all at once.\n\nThe solution is not actually entirely "wire free", however. The base station is plugged into an AC adapter and can deliver up to 30V DC to an individual device. It's also, according to Goren, completely safe, and if any charge were delivered to a person, it would be at the level of a low-voltage battery, virtually imperceptible to humans and certainly not harmful, he added. The final base units will also, he said, be waterproof and protected from electrostatic charges. \n \n \n\n\nDespite calls for MobileWise to manufacture the bases, Goren said the company plans instead on delivering the chipsets to partners who will likely build the adapter chip and proper contacts into their products and OEM the power base manufacturing to another company. MobileWise showed a variety of colors and form factors for the bases.\n\n \n \n \nAcer has already partnered with MobileWise and, according to Goren, may ship a MobileWise-enabled notebook by Q1 of next year. But MobileWise has, it seems, even more intriguing plans on the horizon. The company is already in discussion with a couple of major office furniture manufacturers to build the power array bases and controller chips into furniture. Apparently, these bases are for more than just mobile devices. Properly-equipped televisions, lamps and more could be powered by the bases—Goren even had an HDTV that worked with one of the larger ones. Later next year, MobileWise expects to add data handshake capabilities to the chipset, allowing, once the signal is split, data delivery over the same contacts.\n\nWhile no shipping units currently exist, MobileWise said the adapter chips run roughly $1.25 a piece adding, it said, just a few dollars in manufacturing costs to mobile devices and the base stations could, in units of 100,000 cost roughly $11 to manufacturers. Goren said he expects a mid-sized base (roughly 12 by 18 inches) to sell for $160 street. Not every mobile device will have to be retrofitted, by the way. MobileWise says it expects to see a ha

I have never used one but you can buy an anti-static wristband at a pc shop. Just touch something metal that is grounded before doing the intallation and that should take care of the problem with static. The card will only fit one way round with ports to the rear. To be honest it would be hard not to get it right first time. Just line it up with the slot and push home firmly as per the manufacturers instuctions.\nBefore changing cards you should uninstall the old drivers and on restart  install the new ones.

It is a single chip that has dual processor cores.  I have it on my laptop and it's great! Software today can't really take advantage of it, but future software will.  Currently the biggest benefit comes while multitasking.

ESD is Electro-Static Discharge. Since I/O's on chips are the only thing electrically connected to the external world, ESD events would affect them the most. This can happen during packaging (putting the die in the package) or when attaching the package to the board. To protect against ESD overloading and damaging the I/O's, the pads are designed with diodes in them "pointing" from ground to the signal wire. Normally no current flows through the diodes, but when a high ESD voltage is introduced, then current flows through the diode to ground, protecting the sensitive circuit.

An Intel platform. Comes from older chips like the 80286, 80386, 80486. People always dropped the "80", giving you 286, 386, 486. To have one designation meaning all of these, and future chips, they call it X86.

It sounds to me like the system may have suffered from a static electric discharge or some kind of elctricity has passed through the processor. I know this because the pins are black and it is usually cause from electrical burns from some source of electricity. You could have left the computer on during a lighting storm or you could have experienced a power surge or brownout or spike in your house. Now this does not happen immediately but over time it can cause internal parts to become like that.

("see-moss"), which stands for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, is a major class of integrated circuits. CMOS chips include microprocessor, microcontroller, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. The central characteristic of the technology is that it only uses significant power when its transistors are switching between on and off states. Consequently, CMOS devices use little power and do not produce as much heat as other forms of logic. CMOS also allows a high density of logic functions on a chip.\n\nThe word "complementary" refers to the fact that the design uses pairs of transistors for logic functions, only one of which is switched on at any time.\n\nThe phrase "metal-oxide-semiconductor" is a reference to the nature of the fabrication process originally used to build CMOS chips. That process created field effect transistors having a metal gate electrode placed on top of an oxide insulator, which in turn is on top of a semiconductor material. Instead of metal, today the gate electrodes are almost always made from a different material, polysilicon, but the name CMOS nevertheless continues to be used for the modern descendants of the original process. (See also MOSFET.)\n\nA chip with a large number of CMOS transistors packed tightly together is sometimes known as CHMOS (for "Complementary High-density metal-oxide-semiconductor").\n\nThe combination of MEMS sensors with digital signal processing on one single CMOS chip is sometimes known an CMOSens.

that dude almost got it good but the chipset isnt the cpu. also it isnt only on motherboards.\n\nThe chipset is where firmware and data are. a videocard for example also has a chipset. the chipset is a small memmory block on your motherboard (can also exist out more)\n\nthe motherboard is the big green plate in your computer, its main function is just transport of data form divice to divice. like the chipset or the CPU\n\na cpu btw is most times the biggest chip on your motherboard. it always has a fan on it to keep it cool. The CPU is "the brain" of your computer. technically it only calculates, the hardware and software make it look like it really thinks about stuff......\n\ni could go a lot deeper on this subject but that to troublesome.

The majority of passive tags use EEPROM memory. Some are laser programmed at the silicon level. Many active tags utilize battery-backed SRAM.

you will have an input on the ic itself.  when power is applied to either the input side-plus or negative side of the IC it will generate your output. An IC is the same as circuit put together in a smaller containment. Depending on the pin numbers of each IC each pin will determine what you must put into it the get what you want.

SRAM is short for Static RAM. This is a super high-speed Cache RAM that used to be on motherboards. It was usually in amounts of 32K, 64K, 128K, 256K and 512K, not megabytes. It's job was to contain frequently executed processor instructions for faster program execution. SRAM is not used on motherboards anymore due to the the large on-chip cache sizes of todays modern CPU's. CPU's have their own internal cache memory for fast instruction execution. They range in size from 128K all the way to 2MB.

It is a custom chip that is not sold as a discrete component. As such the manufacturer does not need to release the pinouts, nor do they want to it seems.

The chips are usually soldered in place on a printed circuit board, and the odds that you could desolder them without grounding or shorting any pins are small indeed. That makes the answer to this question almost positively no, the data will not remain.

I think your are referring to static IP addressing vs dynamic IP addressing. With static addressing you desginate a static route in the router to its destination.  This route is always followed and saves time by not having the router search for a destination route.  This is good for a closed private network where the destination is always the same.\nIn dynamic routing the router is permitted to search for the best route to a destination.  Be aware if a route is down in static routing the connection will continue to fail until the static route becomes available.
