  • 7843 Directory Management
    7843 Directory Management Tired of using existing badly written operating systems, Hieu decided to write his new one. Of course, his new operating system will be awesome, bug-free, fast and easy to use. He has finished most of the work, and now he is asking you to do one lasttask: Implement a directory manager. Initially, Hieu’s computer directory is empty. The current directory is the root directory. The directory manager keeps the directory in a rooted-tree structure. In each directory, the children are sorted in lexicographical order. He can do one of the following actions: • MKDIR s: create a child directory named s inside the current directory where s is a string. – If the current directory already contains a child directory named s, print “ERR” and do nothing. – Otherwise, print “OK” • RM s: remove a child directory named s inside the current directory where s is a string. Figure 1 – If there is no child directory named s, print “ERR”. Otherwise, print “OK”. • CD s: change the current directory to a child directory named s where s is a string. – If s is equal to the string “..” and the current directory is the root directory, print “ERR” and do nothing. – If s is equal to the string “..” and the current directory is not the root direc- tory, then you need to change the current directory to the parent directory Figure 2 and print “OK”. – If there is no child directory named s, print “ERR” and do nothing. – If there is a child directory named s then you need to change the current directory to s and print “OK”.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • Infotrends Emerging Technologies White Paper
    January 17, 2008 Strategic Assessment Emerging Marking Technologies: A Review and Comparison of Xerographic and Ink- Based Imaging Authors Abstract Robert Palmer Several ink-based marking technologies have recently surfaced, and these technologies are causing quite a stir in the market. The potential for inkjet technology is based on some basic principles: ink costs less than toner; ink print heads have relatively few parts; and the quality that can be delivered is high. This white paper provides an overview and history of marking technologies and explains the potential benefits that ink-based systems could deliver to the office printing market.

  • Laser Printer - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Laser printer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en. rvi kipedia.org/r,vi ki/Laser_pri nter Laser printer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A laser printer is a common type of computer printer that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. As with digital photocopiers and multifunction printers (MFPs), Iaser printers employ a xerographic printing process but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer's photoreceptor. Overview A laser beam projects an image of the page to be printed onto an electrically charged rotating drum coated with selenium. Photoconductivity removes charge from the areas exposed to light. Dry ink (toner) particles are then electrostatically picked up by the drum's charged areas. The drum then prints the image onto paper by direct contact and heat, which fuses the ink to the paper. HP I-aserJet 4200 series printer Laser printers have many significant advantages over other types of printers. Unlike impact printers, laser printer speed can vary widely, and depends on many factors, including the graphic intensity of the job being processed. The fastest models can print over 200 monochrome pages per minute (12,000 pages per hour). The fastest color laser printers can print over 100 pages per minute (6000 pages per hour). Very high-speed laser printers are used for mass mailings of personalized documents, such as credit card or utility bills, and are competing with lithography in some commercial applications. The cost of this technology depends on a combination of factors, including the cost of paper, toner, and infrequent HP LaserJet printer drum replacement, as well as the replacement of other 1200 consumables such as the fuser assembly and transfer assembly.

The CRADA was designed to help the USGS develop on-demand alternatives to lithographic maps and to help 3M develop a series of commercial, instant map-printing systems. A joint effort of 16 months was planned for the map-on-demand segment. The CRADA statement of work described a six-phase program that investigated both inkjet and electrostatic printing technologies.
