I Burned up my Audio Output Circuit in my Dell 6000 Laptop!

Posted on 15:27 by Unknown


I set up the Dell 6000 Laptop to Duel Boot WinXP and Korora Linux, a nice Fedora Remix.












Here's my Power Supply - Audio Amp Project, in Progress... 

I've been working on my Power Supply - Amp Project for the last few days. I'm getting close to getting it finished. I have the Power Supply's connected together and producing from 3.5 to 24 volts DC. I put two 80 Watt Car Audio Amps for running my Speakers in the House (my Computer Speaker Amp is Dying). I got one of the Audio Amps hooked up and working last night. But, I mad a Big mistake. I Unplugged and Re-Plugged the Audio wire, going from my Dell 6000 Laptop to the Amp
(to check the connection). Something I have routinely done with any other type of Sound Gear for 47 years with no problems. But, one of the connectors I was using is all metal, which is a conductor of electricity. Very Durable, but I guess can be a problem too. I suspect it caused a brief short in the line and it Burned up my Audio Output Circuit in my Laptop! I smelled that Dreaded Burning Electronics Smell and Freaked Out, just a little bit! Oh... Krapp!!!:O I guess Laptops are more sensitive than other Electronics. I vaguely remember my Buddy having this happen to him, on his Laptop. Back in the late 90's. They should have an auto disconnect in the Circuit to protect the electronic parts. But, evidently, Dell does not! I was so upset!:( This is the Laptop that my Sister and Niece gave me. It wouldn't Boot up. I Reformatted it and set it up to Duel Boot, with WinXP and Kororaa Linux It is or was in very good condition and had been well taken care of. I wanted to take good care of it too. The rest of the Laptop still works fine and the internal speakers still work too. But, No Audio Out, Now. I was using it every day to listen to my favorite Christian Rock Radio Station 89.7FM, Online. It doesn't come in good on my Radio's. The signal is to weak, where I live. I may be able to fix the Laptop. I will have to do some research and see if I can find a How Too and get the right parts too. I will definitely try. So, there's another Project, for my List... Here's what I found on the Dell 6000 Audio Problems today...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) - What is it?

Software-defined networking

Software-defined networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Software defined networking (SDN) is an approach to building computer networks that separates and abstracts elements of these systems. SDN allows system administrators to quickly provision network connections on the fly instead of manually configuring policies.[1] This has become more important with the emergence of virtualization which an enterprise data center may need to create and configure virtual machines (VMs) remotely, and configure firewall rules or network addresses in response. Many approaches exist to resolve this issue such as Virtual LANs but this may also introduce management issues.[1] SDN allows network administrators to have programmable central control of network traffic without requiring physical access to the network's hardware devices.[2][3]

These elements are called the "control plane" and the "data plane." SDN decouples the system that makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control plane) from the underlying system that forwards traffic to the selected destination (the data plane).[4] The inventors and vendors of these systems claim that this technology simplifies networking [5] and enables new applications, such as network virtualization[6] in which the control plane is separated from the data plane and implemented in a software application.

Companies Google and Facebook have adopted the Openflow protocol within their data center operations. The Open Networking Foundation was founded to promote SDN standards and engineering as Cloud Computing blurs the boundaries between networks and computers.[1]

Background

This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (February 2013)

Internet Protocol (IP) based networks were initially built based on the notion of Autonomous Systems (AS). This notion allows networks to scale and extend by connected junctions that forward packets to a reasonable next hop based on partial need-to-know information. This approach to networking is simple, and has proven resilient and scalable. The AS principle does not allow the designated destinations, to move without changing their identity as far as the packet delivery service is concerned. The topological location of destinations, which is the network interface they are attached to, dictates their identity. In addition, using only basic AS, it is hard to specify other identity qualities, such as logical grouping, access control, quality of service, intermediate network processing – or to specify aspects that relate to a sequence of packets that form a flow or networked conversation.

Complementary standards by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) were put in place to augment identity-specific needs, standards such as virtual LANs, and virtual private networks among many others. These incremental standards have increased complexity in network elements specifications and increasingly complex configuration of network interfaces by network operators.

As elastic cloud architectures and dynamic resource allocation evolve and as mobile computer operating systems and virtual machines usage grows, the need arose for an additional layer of Software Defined Networking (SDN). Such a layer allows network operators to specify network services, without coupling these specifications with network interfaces. This enables entities to move between interfaces without changing identities or violating specifications. It can also simplify network operations, where global definitions per identity do not have to be matched to each and every interface location. Such a layer can also reset some of the complexity build-up in network elements by decoupling identity and flow specific control logic from basic topology based forwarding, bridging, and routing.

The global software defined control also tracks specific flow contexts based on source and destination identity aspects. A mechanism for driving network hardware has been added and adopted by network gear manufacturers for the purpose of sharing edge driving between software defined edge and vendor specific bridging and routing. A set of open commands for forwarding was defined in the form of a protocol known as OpenFlow. The OpenFlow protocol enables globally aware centralized or distributed software controllers to drive the network edge hardware in order to create an easily programmable identity based overlay on top of the traditional IP core.

Decoupling between data plane access and control plane access

In one configuration of SDN, the network control plane hardware can be physically decoupled from the data forwarding plane hardware, i.e. a network switch can forward packets and a separate server can run the network control plane.

The rationale for this approach is twofold. First, the decoupling allows for the control plane to be implemented using a different distribution model than the data plane. Second, it allows the control plane development and runtime environment to be on a different platform than the traditionally low-powered management CPUs found on hardware switches and routers.

SDN requires some method for the control plane to communicate with the data plane. One such mechanism is OpenFlow which is a standard interface for controlling computer networking switches. OpenFlow is often misunderstood to be equivalent to SDN, but there is no requirement for the use of OpenFlow within an SDN.

Definition and marketing of SDN and OpenFlow is managed by the Open Networking Foundation.[7]

The term was coined by Kate Greene.[8]

SDN deployment models

Symmetric vs asymmetric
In an asymmetric model, SDN global information is centralized as much as possible, and edge driving is distributed as much as possible. The considerations behind such an approach are clear, centralization makes global consolidation a lot easier, and distribution lowers SDN traffic aggregation-encapsulation pressures. This model however raises questions regarding the exact relationships between these very different types of SDN elements as far as coherency, scale-out simplicity, and multi-location high-availability, questions which do not come up when using traditional AS based networking models. In a Symmetrically distributed SDN model an effort is applied to increase global information distribution ability, and SDN aggregation performance ability so that the SDN elements are basically one type of component. A group of such elements can form an SDN overlay as long as there is network reachability among any subset.
Floodless vs flood-based
In a flood-based model, a significant amount of the global information sharing is achieved using well known broadcast and multicast mechanisms. This can help make SDN models more Symmetric and it leverages existing transparent bridging principles encapsulated dynamically in order to achieve global awareness and identity learning. One of the downsides of this approach is that as more locations are added, the load per location increases, which degrades scalability. In a FloodLess model, all forwarding is based on global exact match, which is typically achieved using Distributed Hashing and Distributed Caching of SDN lookup tables.
Host-based vs Network-centric
In a host-based model an assumption is made regarding use of SDN in data-centers with lots of virtual machines moving to enable elasticity. Under this assumption the SDN encapsulation processing is already done at the host HyperVisor on behalf of the local virtual machines. This design reduces SDN edge traffic pressures and uses "free" processing based on each host spare core capacity. In a NetworkCentric design a clearer demarcation is made between network edge and end points. Such an SDN edge is associated with the access of Top of Rack device and outside the host endpoints. This is a more traditional approach to networking that does not count on end-points to perform any routing function.
Some of the lines between these design models may not be completely sharp. For example in data-centers using compute fabrics "Big" hosts with lots of CPU cards perform also some of the TopOfRack access functions and can concentrate SDN Edge functions on behalf of all the CPU cards in a chassis. This would be both HostBased and NetworkCentric design. There may also be dependency between these design variants, for example a HostBased implementation will typically mandate an Asymmetric centralized Lookup or Orchestration service to help organize a large distribution. Symmetric and FloodLess implementation model would typically mandate in-network SDN aggregation to enable lookup distribution to a reasonable amount of Edge points. Such concentration relies on local OpenFlow interfaces in order to sustain traffic encapsulation pressures.

Applications

This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (February 2013)

One of the most talked about applications of SDN is the consolidated data-center. The first use-case example has been Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

This extension means that SDN virtual networking combined with virtual compute (VMs) and virtual storage can emulate elastic resource allocation as if each such enterprise application was written like a Google or Facebook application. In the vast majority of these applications resource allocation is statically mapped in inter process communication (IPC). However if such mapping can be expanded or reduced to large (many cores) or small VMs the behavior would be much like one of the purpose built large Internet applications.

Other uses in the consolidated data-center include consolidation of spare capacity stranded in static partition of racks to pods. Pooling these spare capacities results in significant reduction of computing resources. Pooling the active resources increases average utilization.

The use of SDN distributed and global edge control also includes the ability to balance load on lots of links leading from the racks to the switching spine of the data-center. Without SDN this task is done using traditional link-state updates that update all locations upon change in any location. Distributed global SDN measurements may extend the cap on the scale of physical clusters. Other data-center uses being listed are distributed application load balancing, distributed fire-walls, and similar adaptations to original networking functions that arise from dynamic, any location or rack allocation of compute resources.

Other uses of SDN in enterprise or carrier managed network services (MNS) address the traditional and geo-distributed campus network. These environments were always challenged by the complexities of moves-adds-changes, mergers & acquisitions, and movement of users. Based on SDN principles, it expected that these identity and policy management challenges could be addressed using global definitions and decoupled from the physical interfaces of the network infrastructure. In place infrastructure on the other hand of potentially thousands of switches and routers can remain intact.

It has been noted that this "overlay" approach runs a high likelihood of inefficiency and low performance by ignoring the characteristics of the underlying infrastructure.[9] Hence, carriers have identified the gaps in overlays and asked for them to be filled by SDN solutions that take traffic, topology, and equipment into account.[10] Accordingly, there is a proposal for an SDN solution that exposes network resources so they can be continually optimized and that traffic demands can be handled more predictably.[11]

Access Control in SDN

Remote access to the control plane is made available to administrators or users of the network, typically with a role-based access system (RBAC) in order to provide security.

Mercury Switch Doorbell

  • By Nick Normal
  • Posted February 27th, 2013

►

I have held on to this custom doorbell switch and re-installed it in various places for nearly a decade now. It was originally fabricated by engineer and artist Brian Matthews, aka Pirate Brian. You can see more of his work here.  It is a fantastic contraption and includes an interesting example of a mercury switch, a traditional type of tilt switch now somewhat harder to find owing to our improved understanding of the toxicity of mercury.

An animated GIF of the switch in motion. The glass container has been wrapped with tape where the metal clamps hold the container, to reduce the possibility of the glass cracking at either of those points.

Though toxic, mercury has some unique attributes that make it intriguing for switch applications. Like all other metals, it is a conductor of electricity; unlike all other (pure) metals, it is a liquid at room temperature. In the image above, you can see the liquid mercury housed inside a sealed glass container, and copper ring terminals (background) on the ends of the switch wires, which are encased in ceramic insulators connected to the container’s two contacts.

My Unexpected Crestron Experience

Many people in the industry know them as the behemoth booth at CEDIA and InfoComm, and some follow the misconception of them being impersonal and expensive. The more I indulge in Crestron, the more enlightened I am becoming to the level of personal attention they display towards the integration industry.

Recently, I brought my office manager as well as my project manager with me up to Crestron’s Rockleigh headquarters for a full tour of not just the company’s Experience Center, but also its manufacturing facilities. It was amazing to see good ol’ manufacturing and assembly being done in the USA. Throughout several different buildings, I witnessed a facility for printing motherboards, for assembling final products, and a full R&D center with an RF chamber, and industrial 3D printers for prototyping. In an age when everything is being moved off-shore, it’s great to see a company keeping things local

Launchy and Everything - Windows Desktop Launcher Search Apps

Posted on 10:03 by Unknown
Here's an interesting Windows Desktop Search App. I haven't tried it yet. I'm currently using the Everything Search Engine for Windows, on my WinXP System and it works great. And it uses very little System Resources. It does just what it says. It Finds Everything. This is good, but sometimes you are juts looking for an App or a Specific File Type. You can do this with Find Everything. But, you need to know how to use "Wild Cards" (*, -, =). So, I am going to give Launchy a try. It looks allot like Gnome Do for Linux, in the Screen Shots. Nice and Simple. Check it out...
