Want to Speed Up Your Computer? Get Rid of Your Corrupt Registry Files - Here's How

By Jeff Farley
When your computer starts to slow down, it is usually because of a corrupted registry file or files, or malware. If it is malware, then you can solve this by running a complete scan on your computer using a desktop security software. However, if the problem still persists, then you can more or less deduct that a problem with your Windows Registry is the culprit.
To solve this kind of glitch, you will need to fix your computer. Now, you can do this on your own by sifting through the registry files and deleted the files that have been corrupted; or you can get a Registry Repair software program. The reality is even the computer experts would not know which file should be deleted because it is the cause of the slow computer.
In other words, manually repairing your Windows registry is not a doable thing unless this is your niche, and you have been doing it for many years. The best is to first back up your system by using a Restore Point. This is part of your Windows set-up so you can do it immediately. Just click on Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Backup. It should be emphasized that you will be asked how far back you want to go. This date you will choose should be one when you know for sure that your PC was in perfect condition. What will happen is that once you do this, your computer will go back to the settings of that date, just like a virtual time machine.
After this, you should try to run the RegCure scanner to find the registry errors and fix them. Should there be no improvement even after this, then it only means that the date you provided was too late, and you will need to go further back. Try it. You will not have to worry about corrupted registry files again.

Upgrading Your DC Electric Power Rectifiers Control

By Bernardo Sainz
TM Drive-DC FCR Product Guide
Increase your DC power rectifier system's life, and obtain a higher performance, friendly diagnostic tools and wide LAN communication options using digital control at low cost.>
Digital Controls
The FCR (Firing Circuit Replacement) is a TMEIC GE microprocessor-based process controller with dedicated I/O system, designed to be the controller of medium to large complexity SCR (Thyristor) bridges where the need for advanced control requirements, high speed response, expanded diagnostic capability and various interfaces are beyond the capability of conventional analog control.
Firing Commands, Fast As Light
The fiber optic technology is a great advantage of the FCR, where the gating commands do not have any lag on the sequence and response. Using Electric-Light conversion technology with FOT (Fiber Optic Transmission Board), the firings are sent to a Light-Electric inversion board.
The firing pulses are sent to the Light-Electric transmission board, which allows the FCR to control multiple bridge converters in 6 and 12 pulse configuration using 1 CPU and up to 24 pulse configuration using 2 CPU's.
Each fiber optic firing board has its healthy signals in benefit of maintenance and diagnose. Fiber optic is also immune to electromagnetic interference, a very important feature while working in high current applications.
Diagnostic Tools
The GE Control System Toolbox is a Windows®-based operator interface program used to configure, tune, and monitor FCRís. Its user-friendly interface by using diagrams to view signal flow, sequencing, and regulator control in the FCR, which helps the operator in all levels of setup and operation with password security levels for protecting the configuration.
Regulation and sequencing is driven by a set of parameters which can be edited/monitored using any of three operator-selected methods:
  • Functionally organized menus block diagrams that detail the regulators and sequencing function.
  • Wizards that guide the user through a complete drive configuration and tune-ups.
  • The drive control window which allows the user to control the system from the toolbox, having the look and feel of the drive diagnostic Interface.
Trend Recorder
The trend recorder monitors and graphs signal values from toolbox and graphs data collection analysis (.dca) files. Data can also be saved and exported for other applications, such as spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel.
This application is configured using drag-and-drop to move a variable from the block diagram view to the trend recorder window which has an intuitive VCR-style interface for data record and playback. Live data can be sampled and viewed as fast as 20 ms.
It uses three methods to collect data:
Real Time
Mode is for low-to-medium-data collection rates, typically used for live monitoring.
Capture Buffer
Using the trace back data feature which trends several preset variables at high speed, during fault events and save them on non volatile memory for its post-analysis.
Data Historian
mode for historical data contained *.Dca files. a given trend can display one or multiple data historian files using an innovation series controller, and a personal computer (pc). The program runs in the background as a service on the pc that is running the windows nt operating
system and records the values of any egd or srtp signal on any ethernet connected to the pc on which the program is running.
Trace Back Data
If you experience a fault on FCR equipment, Toolbox allows you to view Fault History and Traceback Data. This feature is capable to collect up to 8 events, and several selected variables at speeds up to 244 us storing the event on non volatile memory, remaining even while powering down the equipment. It also eliminates the need of using an oscilloscope during the failure solution, because it is able to display the information of these variables in a trend recorder window.
Remote Diagnostic Support
AMI GE offers the remote support option, where the distance monitoring is possible using either an internet connection, or telephone links to control the installed equipments through the maintenance pc and customers network. This feature reduces the time of diagnose and usually the equipments are put back in service faster.
Adaptability
FCR is 100% compatible with the Canadian General Electric Indoor DC rectifier, and matches with several DC power bridges where AMI GE offers different options of replacement depending on the application and customer needs. The FCR is provided with fast connectors (same as existing) to reduce transition time between existing and new system.

FCR Upgrade for Electric Power Circuit
The rectifiers supplied before the 80's use old-fashion analog technology, which used to be reliable, but nowadays productivity and quality requirements on manufacturing processes require an urgent upgrade, to keep being competitive on the market
Upgrade could become expensive regarding equipment, and installation requirements, but the replacement can be selective, reusing the existing power rectifiers and devices in good conditions which most of the time, represents the biggest part of the investment cost.
Motors generally can also be reused, unless the new control scheme requires higher torque or speed.
The FCR is an AMI GE product, offered to solve the needs of upgrade, which otherwise, would represent a huge and sometimes, not really needed big investment. The FCR is designed to substitute analog gating control of SCR is with new digital circuitry, obtaining with it, ultimate generation diagnostic tools.
Depending on the system, the FCR can be complemented with a master control for processes, Interlocks and additional I/O either with a PLC or ISC (Innovation Series Controller) and user friendly HMI or COI (Control Operator Interface) screens.
Applications
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)
An Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats charged material by means of an electric arc. EAF range in size from small units of approximately one ton capacity up to about 400 ton units. Electric arc furnace differs from induction furnaces in that the charge material is directly exposed to the electric arc, and the current in the furnace terminals passes through the charged material.
For steelmaking, direct current (DC) arc furnaces are used, with a single electrode in the roof and the current return through a conductive bottom lining or conductive pins in the base. The advantage of DC is lower electrode consumption per ton of steel produced, since only one electrode is used, as well as less electrical harmonics and other similar problems.
Ship Propulsion
DC Machines are still used nowadays on ship propulsion, where usually 3 or more diesel generators, are used to supply medium voltage power to Isolation transformers, which feed 12 pulses non-regenerative SCR power bridges.
Roller or Break Down Mill
A Rolling Mill is a machine or factory for shaping metal by passing it between a pair of work rolls. Rolling mills are often incorporated into integrated steelworks, but also exist as separate plants and can be used for other metals, and other materials. Depending on the temperature of the metal being rolled, rolling mills are typically hot or cold rolling mills.

How Do I Burn a WMV to DVD?

By Karina Daniel

The latest version of WMV is the WMV9. The lates version has high-quality compression. For example, Microsoft asserts that WMV9 video format has a compression rate of about 200%. Thus this is better than MPEG - 4 and from 15 percent to 50 percent better than the last version (WMV8). However, an independent report said that the rate compression was actually worse than the WMV8.
A WMV file ends with extension WMV and is quite popular in the Internet. In several cases, you could see TV shows, music videos, as well as full-length motion pictures with this file format. Since the size of WMV could range commonly from few MB to GB, several PC users opt to save them in DVDs. Burning a WMV to DVD is just easy and would only require you a DVD optical drive that has the capacity to write special software.
DVD Optical Drive
It must be noted that DVD optical drives has write technology. There are many types of DVD media which are accessible and various optical drives just work with a sing le file type. For example, various types of DVD recordable available contain DVD + R and DVD - R. There is as well DVD-RAM. Actually, most of the optical drives sold nowadays could work with any of the three types; however, some just work with only one DVD media type.
Convert WMV to DVD via Burning
Here are usual steps to follow when burning WMV to DVD
1.    Launch Software
You will need to launch first the software and select to burn data or create a copy of the DVD.
2.    Load Your Source File
Your source file would be WMV File. When the source file is on a DVD or CD ROM already, you must insert it to the drive. Once it's on your hard-drive, you would only need to choose it.
3.    Choose Destination and Format
In this case, it would be the DVD drive. Certain merchandises come with the capacity to convert video files to other types. However, because we're keeping the file similar, you don't have to change the file format.
4.    Choose Speed and Quality of File
Several optical drives could burn up to 52X, which is quite fast. If you have the time, select a slower speed, like 10X to 12X, this would usually ensure quality-burning.
5.    Burn the DVD
6.    Confirm that the burning of the WMV onto DVD was a Success
Knowing How to Burn WMV to DVD is great especially when you need to back up files or just converting this file formats to DVD could already acts as a present for someone.
