industrial activities that need measurement.

23. Planimeter – is a table-

top instrument for measuring areas, usually
the areas of irregular regions on a map or
photograph. To determine area, simply a
 plan created on a sheet is required. In general, determining the area of an
irregular plot is quite difficult. So, we can simply compute the area of any
form by using a planimeter.

24. Ph Meter – is a device used to assess the

acidity/alkalinity of a solution by measuring the
hydrogen ion activity in the solution. A pH meter is
basically made up of a voltmeter connected to a pH-
responsive electrode and a standard (area) electrode.

25. Sound Level Meter – a system for

determining the volume of noise,
music, and other noises A standard
meter is made consisting of a
microphone that picks up sound and
converts it into an electrical signal,
followed by power electronics that
operates on this signal to detect the
required qualities.

Motherboard Components and Function

1. CPU (Central Processing Unit) Socket – a processor is a singular connector

in between microprocessor and a motherboard that is which is also called a
 slot. It allows for easier CPU access and reduces harm if a unit is inserted or
withdrawn.

2. North Bridge Chip – is utilized to link all the motherboard's primary

components together. It also links peripherals via high-speed channels like
PCI Express. In other words, it is the component of the chipset that
manages the high-speed channels.

3. South Bridge Chip – oversees all connection between multiple processing

devices, as well as the lower speed devices or the channel of
communication.

4. Clock Generator – is a sort of circuit that generates a continuous,

synchronized electrical signal used for timing in a wide range of devices.
The signal might be as basic as a uniform square wave. They are typically
constructed of a quartz or ceramic piezo-electric circuit board with an
oscillation and an amplifier.

5. Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) – An early Intel hardware interface for

linking a graphics card (display adapter) towards the PC for high-speed
video output. This connector is used to connect graphic cards to the
motherboard of a computer. On the motherboard, there's just one AGP slot
in the graphics card.

6. Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) – is to allow you to increase the

capabilities of your computer. A motherboard typically has three or four PCI
slots. This is a computer slot that allows you to add expansion cards to your
computer.
7. Dial Inline Memory Module (DIMM) Slots – DIMM (Dial Inline Memory
Module) slots are where your RAM modules (sometimes known as "RAM
sticks") are put on your motherboard. They are usually parallel to your
motherboard's rear panel connections.

consists of a pair of semiconductors coupled to a common secondary
 voltage and operating in opposite (complementary) way within computers
that store data This data includes everything from your computer's system
time and date to its system hardware settings.

9. Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) – is the program that a computer's CPU

uses to boot up the machine once it has been turned on. It also controls
data flow between the computer's operating system (OS) and associated
devices such the hard drive, video adapter, keyboard, mouse, and printer.

10. Parallel Port – an interface that allows a personal computer (PC) to send or
receive data from a peripheral device such as a printer through numerous
bundled connections. It was ultimately replaced by USB, which has a
smaller connection and substantially quicker data transmission speeds.

11. Universal Serial Bus (USB) – is a standard interface that allows connectivity
between devices and a host controller, such as a personal computer (PC),
but also is common to many devices. It has mostly supplanted connectors
such as serial ports and parallel ports.

12. Heatsink (Cooling System) – Use a thermal conductor to minimize heat

generated and avoid overheating from hardware components such as the
CPU, GPU, northbridge, southbridge, RAM modules, and so on. There will
also be a FAN at the top of the heatsink to assist cool it down. Because the
CPU must perform many tasks every second, this is an air coolant heatsink.
It begins to develop heat while executing enormous operations, and if heat
is not managed, it will fail.

13. Integrated Drive Electronics controller (IDE controller) – was developed to

standardize the usage of hard disks in computers. The main idea of IDE is to
unite the hard disk and the controller. It transmits an array of 512-byte
blocks between the drive and the motherboard, which can support up to
four chipset-controlled IDE devices in a single system.

14. Power Connectors (Power Supply Connectors) – is to provide power to the

Motherboard and all its related components and peripherals. It converts
 normal 110-Volt AC (Alternative Current) electricity to DC (Direct Current)
voltages of 12 Volt, 5 Volt, 3.3 Volt, and so on.

15. Jumper – is a pair of prongs that serve as electrical intersections on a

computer motherboard or adapter card. These jumpers are frequently
found near the BIOS chip or adjacent to the CMOS battery.

16. Industry Standard Architecture slot (ISA slot) – is a computer bus that
connects extra expansion slots to a computer's motherboard. It was mostly
interoperable with the 8088-based IBM PC's 8-bit bus.

17. Floppy-Disk Controller (FDC) – is a removable magnetic storage medium

that allows recording of data that is special-purpose chip and associated
disk controller circuitry. It controls and directs reading from and writing to a
computer’s floppy disk drive (FDD).

18. CPU (Central Processing Unit) chip – is the electrical circuitry in a

computer that executes software instructions. It is sometimes referred to
as a core processor or the primary processor. The CPU performs the
fundamental logic, arithmetic, regulating, and input/output (I/O) functions
defined by the desktop programs' commands.

19. Input and Output Port (I/O port) –connection between the CPU and the
peripheral devices on the motherboard. Describes any operation, program,
or device that transfers data to or from a computer.

20. Dual in-line Package switch (DIP switch) – is a collection of manual

electrical switches used to save settings and choose interrupt requests
(IRQ). A dual in-line package is an electronic device package having a
rectangular enclosure and two parallel rows of electrical connection pins in
microelectronics. The package may be through hole attached on a PCB or
put into a socket.
