What does signal 15 mean in reference to a possible structure fire?
Q. What do the various signals mean that the dispatcher uses in reference to possible fires/structure fires? The ones I know of are signal 10, 15, 20, and 30. It's not the ETA. It has something to do with what kind of fire it is and how big it is, but I haven't been able to find any information about it online.

A. Connect an RF amplifier between your aerial, and you Freeview box...that boosts the signal. If you still have problems, you'll have to resort to getting an outdoor aerial mounted as high as you can get it.

How do I increase wifi signal in apartment?

How to fix signal light problem in my Chevrolet Cavalier 1999?
Q. My car works fine but yesterday when I was driving I tried signalling left but the clicker wasnt making a sound and my signal lights were not working. I have tried my emergency lights and they are working fine. Brake lights are also working fine. I checked all fuses and they are not burnt out. What's the next thing I can check? If it is the relay flasher, how difficult is it to reach it and repair it?

How do you signal that you want to back into a parallel parking place ?
Q. How do you signal your intentions to the driver directly behind you, so that person will give you enough room to back up? I've seen situations in which traffic is moving very slowly ---less than 1 or 2 mph. I'll call the vehicle trying to park, "A", and the vehicle directly behind it, I'll call"B"... "B" pulls right up behind "A" before "A" 's backup lights come on, making it impossible for "A" to back into the parking place. I've seen this problem at its worst in tourist areas---Carmel, CA,... Lake Placid, NY...Maybe there is no answer to this problem. Maybe what we need is a popup sign reading "please give me enough room to back into this parking place"

Asked by Explorer Guy - Sat May 3 08:41:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It will be pretty complicated. The main difference is the turn signal switch in the steering column. This is what seperates the front turn signal circuit from the rear circuit on a vehicle with brake/turn being the same bulb. On yours with the seperate rear signal bulb, your signal switch does not seperate the circuit from the front and rear (they are connected together) so what you want to do cannot be done. If your really good and want to go through all the trouble, you may be able to modify your existing signal switch, but I would doubt it. Buy the kit and be done with it. You could make your own using a few generic automotive relays that are dual-throw type (have a normally open and a normally closed contact, most have only the… [cont.]

How can you direct the signal from an omnipole antenna?
Q. How can you direct the signal coming from an omnipole antenna. For example, if I put a steel sheet to the left of it, would it stop the signal being broadcast left? If I put a steel sheet on 3 sides, would it direct the signal in one direction only or would doing that just totally mess up the signal in every direction??
Asked by Candrika D - Mon Mar 1 10:43:32 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Placing the omnipole at the focus of a parabolic reflector will create a stronger "beam" in the direction that the antenna is pointing. It won't completely "direct" the signal, however, since those not in the path of the beam will still be able to see the signal directly- it just won't be as strong. Microwave, tower-to-tower, transmitters use this method.

A. You'd need to put your PS3 closer to the router. There is no software that will let you do this. And buying a stronger router won't solve the issue if your PS3 can't send back a signal (it might also be the PS3 that isn't enoughly strong). So buy a cable or put your PS3 closer to the router. Or move it so there is no electric wires or metal between the PS3 and the router. Try different locations in the house/appartment to see if that helps. *Proud PlayStation 3 owner since May 22nd, 2009

A. >Is there an possibility that television digital signal might end in the distant future? As a practical matter, there is only analog and digital. As long as there is television, the signals will be digital. But it's unlikely that they will be the same type of digital signals that are used in broadcast and cable today. The reason is simple, when the current standards (ATSC &QAM) were created in the 1990's, the compression standard used (MPEG-2) was the best that could be economically used. But today faster & cheaper computer chips allow for higher compression. As a practical matter, using a more modern method (like MPEG-4) would allow more channels to be sent over the same cable wires or over the air broadcast stations. Some… [cont.]

Effective way to send a signal through 2 miles of water?
Q. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to send some sort of signal, whether radio, laser, or even sound through 2 miles of water. What would activate this signal at one end, what would pick up the signal at the other end, and how would the system reset to be able to do it multiple times? The two ends can't be attached by wire or fiber optic cable, and must relay the signal as fast as possible. Thanks!
