Computer Fundamentals: Key Concepts
What is a Control Unit?
The Control Unit (CU) supervises the input, output, processing, and storage operations. It determines when to start and stop data reception, and where to store data. It manages the step-by-step processing of all operations within the computer.
Memory System Explained
There are two main types of computer memory:
- Primary Memory: An integral part of the computer system, directly accessible by the processing unit. RAM is an example.
- Secondary Memory:

Telephone Network Fundamentals
Subscriber Loop (Local Loop)
The loop is the connection enabling communication within our telephone network. It is commonly known as a two-wire twisted copper pair.
Loop Types
- Multi-pair/Hybrid: A technology combining copper pairs and potentially coax, offering telephony, data return channels (e.g., for satellite TV), and value-added services.
- Wireless Local Loop (WLL): Transmits the telephone signal using radio waves between the subscriber and a base station.

Understanding REBT Regulations
REBT (Reglamento Electrotécnico de Baja Tensión): This is the primary regulation for implementing low-voltage electrical facilities. Its fundamental objective is to ensure the safety of people and the proper operation of facilities through established technical standards.
BT (Baja Tensión – Low Voltage): This refers to the set of devices and circuits designed to produce, transform, transmit, or utilize electricity at voltages not exceeding 1000V AC or 1500V DC.

What are Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)?
📌 1. What are the structure and characteristics of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)?
A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is an OS designed to process tasks within a specific time constraint, ensuring predictable and deterministic execution. The structure of an RTOS consists of a scheduler, task management, inter-task communication, memory management, and interrupt handling mechanisms. Characteristics of RTOS include determinism, fast task switching,
