Sometimes I find my trash open without reason. Why would this happen?
The day the next day and even when I put my computer to sleep I come back to find the trash open without reason. I had some personal info compromised (3 times in 3 months). I was wondering if it was through my computer.
First of all, I would like to change all passwords on the computer.
Create strong passwords.
See: http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspx
If you use a wireless router, change the password of the router also.

Then, make sure that you are up-to-date on of Avast Virus signature files.

We send 5v data acquisition using a voltage generator. Hook us it up to a voltmeter and see 5V. When connect us the generator voltage to a valve "normally open" parker, the voltmeter indicates .14V. It seems that when we connect the two sons of the valve for the voltage generator, the son act as pattern. We want to control the voltage flowing to tap through Labview. We checked the wires to the valve and they work very well, because if we send a constant 5V since the acquisition of data and put ashore, she, the voltmeter indicates 5V. Someone knows why the son act as pattern and low blood to .14V?
nsatpute wrote:
Our data acquisition is NI USB-6259. The valve requires only a 5V max and our DAQ provides up to 5V. However, after connecting the valve to the acquisition of data, the grave tension to almost 0. We start from the principle that the son somehow act as the reason, but we are not sure if this is the case.
The question here is not how much voltage the valve wants, it's the current needs of the valve. The 6259 can put only 5mA via an analog output. Your very likely tap needs much more than that. If you need to add in an amplifier circuit that can supply more current to operate your faucet.

I have a computer. Sometimes I can't open without a lot of effort. But it is not completely closed, because suddenly opens again.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking. On the surface, it looks like you have some issues regarding physically open the lid of your laptop. But given that Mac laptops are pretty easy to open, I think that maybe there is an application that will not start.
If you could expand a bit more on what he wants you're all this, maybe someone can offer assistance.
What Mac do you have?
If you are physically problems open, specify.
If you have problems to open an application, please let us know what application (or applications).
If applications, are there any error messages displayed, and if yes, what is the "wording".
It could be useful as you tell us what is your ultimate goal, that will help us to fill in gaps in the description of your problem.
If it's hard to describe, so if you have an Apple Store nearby, you can take a go-Genius Bar and demonstrate the genius of Apple what your problem is.
