the device would also involve an audio oscillator modulation hookup associated with the changes detected by the infrared

for instance, the nearer an object to the IR beam, the higher a pitch would sound - the further away, the lower a pitch ; but for instance the modulation speed could change as well, instead of pitch

also i was wondering where to buy an agitation type motion sensor, for instance, a car alarm type sensor that detects bumps - but on a smaller scale

I am an electronic musician and have an idea for a sort of i guess a but humble "theremin-esque" musical instrument idea i would like to try to build

i know there are devices of which i speak, on the small scale, on some electronic music devices, keyboards, some of the Korg units have them I know...

but i would like to take a bit of that tech and make it large scale - on the scale of perhaps one of those electronic door opener IR beams - but preferably the beam would be very precise in depth perception

I just got a new Gateway laptop with a built-in media-card reader. But my SD card from my Kodak Digital Camera won't work in it. the computer recognizes it as a removable disk, but tells me it needs to be formatted. Obviously, when I format it, I lose the pictures. But the formatting process won't even finish - I get an error message. Pics still get deleted.

After I attempt this formatting on the computer, and I put the card back in the camera, the camera needs to reformat the card! Once I do that, the whole thing starts over again in a vicious cycle.

How can I get my SD card to be read on both my Kodak Camera (CX7430) and my computer?! The photos are in JPEG format, and should be interchangeable! My old USB plug-in card reader stil works in the new computer, but I don't want to have to use it anymore!

Is is simpler to purchase an internal DVD burner and install it (I'm around intermediate level with computer knowledge, but don't really know the components inside the computer), or to buy an external and spend a few more bucks? Thanks.

My computer crashed recently, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, so i decided to repair it myself by restoring it with the CD my computer came with.Everything was OK...Now all of a sudden when I start up my computer i get a black screen that has some code and that the hard disk has detected imminent failure? and it suggests i copy backup files and replace the hard disk...
HELP!
I also get this annoying registry repair that my computer has like 345 errors, but I have to register and pay 40 bucks a month or somrthing to fix this problem...and I have noticed I can't visit any other websites but some yahoo! or others with it "Not Responding"
It's freezing up all the time...
HELP!
Should I just take this to a computer tech to check it out? Or is it time for new cpu?

Well, I leave my pc on all night on occasion, and during those nights sometimes it turns off and doesn't turn back on in the morning when I manually press the power-on button on my tower. And now and days, when it does turn off while I'm using it I'd have to go to the back of the tower reconnect and fiddle around with the power plug and the power switch. Any idea why it's doing that? (I have a theory it's because it might be overheating but I started having this problem a few months ago, and I've been leaving it on overnight as I am now when I first got my pc)

I burned a cd from an original cd using Media Player and when I play the new cd i can hear clicks intermingled with the music. But during any pauses, the clicking stops. It's very subtle, but it's there nonetheless...i only hear this when I play it on a car or home stereo cd player.

Ok this is weird, i have only had nmy computer about 18 months but I am now having problems with the fan which makes a hell of a racket. At first i thought it was due to the extrem heat we have been experiencing but then it never did this last summer!

Also is it not all the time, and if I do a systems restore, it seems to sort the problem out. However this only lasts for a few days and then it starts to do it again.

I am wondering if there is a bug in windows XP itself that i am not aware of, as surely if it was directly hardware related then a systems restore wouldn't help at all.

I have never ahd this problem with my previous computers so I am wondering what the heck is going on. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm currently purchased a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM. However, my laptop doesn't have any port to let me use that harddrive. I thought about an enclosures with a cooling fan. However, I'm quite confused with all the "terms" like eSATA, internal interface, external interface. And I also need a good recommendation of which enclosure I should purchase (as low price as possible). I need to use the drive as an external hdd with my laptop. Thanks!
