1. LectriCalc™ LectriCalc Code Calculator™ v4.1 for Desktop, Palm OS & Windows Mobile
LectriCalc, particularly when used in conjunction with Master Bender Computer-Aided Bending, will permit all types of electricians, including residential, commercial, industrial, construction and maintenance to do many popular everyday calculations and information lookup in seconds. Architects, engineers and contractors will also find this information useful.
LectriCalc now includes Code-A-Day™, a self-test question and answer module that lets you review the National Electrical Code® and learn to use LectriCalc at the same time. Answer just one or more questions a day (hundreds of questions available for free download) and you'll learn a lot, painlessly! When you leave Code-A-Day then return later, you'll be right where you left off.
2.WhiteNoise™
for Palm OS and Windows Mobile handheld computers
On a long plane ride, really needing to get some sleep, but having trouble due to the noise in the plane cabin?
Have time for a 15-minute "cat nap" but having trouble falling asleep?
Trying to sleep at home on one of those nights when the neighbor's dog is barking all night?
Trying to sleep at a hotel when it sounds like a wild fraternity party in the adjoining room?
We have a solution for you!
Turn your handheld computer into a soothing sleep machine!
Easy as 1-2-3!
Set how long you want the sound to play.
Set the volume level.
Pick the sound you want to listen to.
Plays any of six restful sounds continuously for a long as you wish:
Waterfall
Babbling Brook (creek)
Roaring River (rapids)
Gentle Rainfall
Summer Woods (crickets)
Heartbeat mixed with white noise (for helping a baby sleep)
Ten different volume settings. Use lower levels when you're using earphones. Use higher levels if the handheld is using its built-in speaker when placed on a bedside table, and you need to drown out noisy neighbors.
Since WhiteNoise can run while your handheld's screen is turned off, it uses very little battery power. If you start with a fully-charged battery or plug your handheld into its charger, the sound can run for hours.
Optionally, have it sound an alarm at the end of your selected duration to wake you up.
No need to enter any text. All setup is done just by tapping your choices on the touch screen.
Plenty of built-in help information available (but you probably won't need it).
The screen is intentionally dark and subdued, so it's easy on your eyes if you enter your sound settings in a dark room.
Test mode lets you hear your sound briefly to help with setting ideal volume.
What is white noise?
Research shows that people sleep more soundly and restfully in a room with a soothing, steady background sound, such as the hum of a fan motor, rainfall, or running water. This constant, unchanging sound, called "white noise", is sometimes used in the field of architectural acoustics, where, in order to mask distracting, undesirable noises in interior spaces, a constant low level of white noise is generated.
White noise, playing at low levels, can be very effective as a sleep aid. An individual handheld user can benefit by wearing earphones while using WhiteNoise, or when sleeping in bed, unplug the earphones, place the handheld on a bed-side table, and adjust the playback level to whatever sounds right for you. Generally, low levels, from Level 2 to Level 4, work well. Higher levels may be needed to overcome loud external noise sources. CAUTION: Sound levels above mid-range could cause hearing damage, especially when using ear phones. Use common sense!
