Automated fighting chairs and control stations, push-button windows, electronic consoles that appear and disappear, and doors that open with the touch of a button aren't necessary to make a boat run better, but they're sure a lot of fun. And in some instances, they're even practical.

Microprocessor Design Automation can turn the dead corner in the galley into a pop-up wet bar, a hydraulic service elevator to the bridge or a hideaway communications center.

The A+ Core Hardware exam tests your knowledge of the central role played by the system's microprocessor, which has become essential knowledge for the professional PC repairperson. There was a time when replacing the CPU was very complicated. However, today's motherboards feature sockets and slots into which several types and versions of microprocessors can be interchanged. You still have to watch out for compatibility issues, but it's not uncommon for customers to want you to upgrade their PC instead of replace it.

Intel Motherboard Automated systems can also serve as a safety feature. "Trying to open and close the salon door in any kind of a sea can be dangerous. Plenty of people have had their hands crushed or worse," observes Roy Merritt. "That's why we've been building boats with air-assist salon doors for the past 10 years. To us, it's a safety feature, not a gadget."

1. The primary computing unit in a mainframe computer. in the PC today, this is usually a Intel Pentium class processor or competing AMD or Cyrix microprocessor. In separate device with a microprocessor, the microprocessor is the CPU for the device. If a device has a microprocessor, it is said to be a "Smart" device, without a microprocessor, it is a "dumb" device.

Ecs Motherboard Thanks to pneumatic and hydraulic technology, doors and almost anything else that moves on a boat are being automated more and more often these days. But even before pneumatic- and hydraulic-assisted mechanisms became practical, boatbuilders such as Rybovich and Sons and Jim Smith Boats were using the principle of opposing forces, gravity, and pulleys and cable to open and close salon doors and provide elevator access to the bridge.

Motherboard Issues There are a number of important things that differentiate motherboards in the desktop Windows marketplace, including bus speed, the type of CPU chip supported, in support for sound, FireWire, graphics and RAID controllers. in options directly on the motherboard, such as graphics and audio support. expensive systems more difficult to upgrade later. More expensive motherboards have faster bus speeds and support for larger amounts of RAM and peripherals via AGP video and PCI slots. For video editors, it's once again best not to skimp on the raw processing power and upgradability of a system, resolution work or 3D graphics production. Often you don't have a choice of a motherboard in a stock system, but you can be certain that eMachines use a cheaper motherboard than, say, Alienware does.

Mainboard Driver Way back in 1968, Rybovich engineered not one but two elevators to the bridge and engine room for the Bullhead's wheelchair-bound owner. By the mid-1970s the yard was building perhaps the most automated sport-fisherman ever built, Bob Fisher's Flying Fisher.

Computer Motherboard According to Rybovich's chief boatbuilder Gary Hilliard, the boat pretty much had it all, including hydraulically controlled helms, a remote-control fighting chair, automated platforms from the cockpit to the bridge and tower so you didn't have to climb the stairs, as well as every pop-up thing you could imagine and the first pneumatic salon door.

Asus Mainboard "It was too much, if you ask me," adds Hilliard, whose attitude is, "If you don't need it, why add it?" Although he admits some applications such as hinged storage and automated doors make sense, Hilliard cautions against going overboard on the gadgets. "Some of the automated novelties people think they really want do nothing more than add tens of thousands of dollars to the cost."

Microprocessor Programming For some owners, automated systems serve as a tool for "one-up-manship," but both Hilliard and John Vance of Jim Smith Boats acknowledge that some automated systems have merit - most notably those that raise and lower bunks and couches so you can store spare fishing rods, weapons and other valuables out of view.

Ecs Mainboard Form Follows Function

Motherboard Manual Bob Roscioli of Roscioli-Donzi builds his 72-foot sport-fishermen with several standard automated features, including a hydraulic dumb waiter that delivers drinks and sandwiches to the bridge, pneumatically controlled bunks that lift to provide additional storage and a hidden security locker.

Shuttle Mainboard On Jim Smith Boats, the automated hinged couch has become a standard component on the last few boats the Stuart, Florida, builder has completed. "Cushioned and airtight and close enough to the cockpit to be accessible, the couch turns out to be a great place to store rods," Vance says.

Microprocessor Architecture The 55-foot Whiticar Harry II has a retractable microwave oven that raises and lowers for easy access to hot items. And in the master stateroom, the lights that surround the vanity mirror rotate out of sight when not in use for a smoother look. Though these gadgets were designed primarily for aesthetics, the Harry II's electric bridge windows meet a real need for her owner and crew.

Biostar Mainboard "We consider the owner's needs during the design process," says the Harry II's designer, John Whiticar, one of the few boatbuilders who says he actually enjoys the challenge of custom-designing such systems. "The Harry II spends the summer and fall in New Jersey, where it can get cold and rainy, so they needed the protection of the enclosed flybridge. Winters and spring are spent in Florida and the Bahamas, where the owner and captain wanted the flybridge to be open. So we designed the enclosed flybridge with electric bridge windows." Although enclosed flybridges are nothing new, having one with windows that open and close - not just on the sides, but front and back - was revolutionary and practical, says her captain, Herb Schoenberg.

Motherboard Review The system turned out to be so functional (only one maintenance call in six years) that when Whiticar was designing the 42-foot WilSail for his next client, Whiticar decided to go one better than the Harry II. The WilSail was designed as a day fishing boat, with amenities, and the owner wanted to be able open the boat up when he was fishing, so Whiticar designed the boat with salon windows that go up and down, just like they do on a car.

Jack Conzelman asked that the former 58-foot Buckalot, now named the Precious, have a cockpit helm station, Whiticar suggested that instead of leaving the controls out in the elements, they make the helm retract into a cabinet, a slick system that not only afforded security but extra seating space when the controls were not being used.

The Evolution Of The

Abit Motherboard It's a Remote-Control World

Atx Mainboard "I'm amazed by some of the things people want to levitate," says Ron Adams of Oriole Products, who designs pneumatic systems for several south Florida builders. What began with pneumatic salon doors is now spilling over into a wealth of small-scale automation: cabinet doors, glass electronics covers and high-low tables that not only raise and lower, but that slide out on a track for more comfortable dining. Of course, some of these items are fairly easy and inexpensive to install. The technology for automated cabinet doors, for instance, is much like the automated gas springs that open and close trunk lids on current Cadillac models. These can be easily installed for as little as $50 per door.

Microprocessor Application And because no one wants to watch 12-inch televisions on a boat anymore, the newest trends in automated systems seems to be in the entertainment center. Now, the 31-inch monitor in the salon and the master staterooms pop up out of a cabinet for viewing. Even better, the system is controlled by remote.

Emachines Motherboard On the new Bumpers being built by Jim Smith Boats, as with the Merritt Can't Touch Dis, each stateroom will have a dedicated unit that operates from a remote linked to a central command system, so each individual can dial up a unique type of music or video.

Ipod Mainboard Video So what's next? Keyless entry systems and remote- controlled "everything," says Adams, which, he adds, will be available "as soon as someone is willing to pay for it."
