Prescription Medicine Recalls

Recalls are actions taken by a firm to remove a product from the market. Recalls may be conducted on a firm's own initiative, by FDA request, or by FDA order under statutory authority. If you have a medicine that has been recalled, talk to your health care professional about the best course of action. Stores generally have a return and refund policy when a company has announced a recall of its products.Although some form of medicine regulation has existed in the UK since the time of King Henry VIII, it was not until 1971 that a comprehensive regulatory system was introduced to make sure medicine were rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness before becoming available to the consumer. A drug recall occurs when a prescription or over-the-counter medicine is removed from the market because it is found to be either defective or potentially harmful.

central processing unit (CPU)

The central processing unit or the microprocessor is the core of the computer. It has the electronic circuitry to process the input data to get the required information. It is the processor which executes the instructions.
Another component known as 'Random Access Memory'(RAM) resides inside this unit and it stores the data that the CPU uses for processing. But this memory is volatile which means that the data will be erased once the computer is switched off.

windows xp

what is windows xp?
Windows XP is a user-friendly operating system produced by Microsoft with a graphical user interface(GUI) for use on desktop and notebook computers. XP stands for 'experience'.
Windows XP is known for its improved stability and efficiency over the 9x versions of Microsoft Windows. It is also the first version of Windows to use product activation to combat software piracy. Windows XP is available in many languages.

mini computer and mainframe computer

Mainframe computer.

Mainframe computers can also process data at very high speeds vi.e., hundreds of million instructions per second and they are also quite expensive. Normally, they are used in banking, airlines and railways etc for their applications.

Mini computer computer.

Mini computers are lower to mainframe computers in terms of speed and storage capacity. They are also less expensive than mainframe computers. Some of the features of mainframes will not be available in mini computers. Hence, their performance also will be less than that of mainframes.

handheld computer & laptop computer

Handheld computers or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are pen-based and also battery-powered. They are small and can be carried anywhere. They use a pen like stylus and accept handwritten input directly on the screen. They are not as powerful as desktops or laptops but they are used for scheduling appointments,storing addresses and playing games. They have touch screens which we use with a finger or a stylus.
 Laptop computers are portable computers. They are lightweight computers with a thin screen. They are also called as notebook computers because of their small size. They can operate on batteries and hence are very popular with travellers. The screen folds down onto the keyboard when not in use.

super computer

When we talk about types of computers, the first type that comes to our mind would be Super computers. They are the best in terms of processing capacity and also the most expensive ones. These computers can process billions of instructions per second. Normally, they will be used for applications which require intensive numerical computations such as stock analysis, weather forecasting etc. Other uses of supercomputers are scientific simulations, (animated) graphics, fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear energy research, electronic design, and analysis of geological data (e.g. in petrochemical prospecting). Perhaps the best known super computer manufacturer is Cray Research. Some of the "traditional" companies which produce super computers are Cray, IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
