Are power windows on a car strong enough to cutoff a finger?
In theory, probably.In practice, no.Almost all modern power windows have current sensors either in them, or connected to them. What this does is sense how much current the motor is pulling. The way the window motor works is that the amount of current it is pulling is an indication of how hard the motor is working. The current sensor reads this, then either the BCM or WCM (body control or window control module) compares this against the amount of current it should take for an unobstructed window to close. If the current pulled exceeded the preset value, the motor automatically either stops or reverses depending on programing.Although, even in theory I'm not sure the entire system, from hardware to wiring, could support the amount of force it would take to sever a digit. The current draw may burn out a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. The force may bend the guide rails or raising arm, or even pop it off the track. Also, since I believe a lot of these setups use plastic gears, they probably can't handle a lot of torque.

What are reasons your steering wheel won't lock?
I assume that you are referring to your steering wheel not locking in position after you stop the vehicle and take out the key?There are several possible reasons for this.1. The cog that fits into the detent on the steering column is broken and needs to be replaced.2. The detent on the steering column is worn or broken3. You have not turned the wheel far enough for the cog to find a detent. Pull the wheel first to the left, and then to the right to find the spot.4. The actuator from the solenoid to the cog is broken.To repair this will require the cover on the steering column to be removed, and probably need to have the steering wheel removed as well. Take it to a qualified shop or dealer for this. Incorrect actions could result in damage to the parts, or even the deployment of the air bag on the steering wheel. The exact disassembly required will differ for each manufacturer and possible model of vehicle. If you have a Chilton's manual for your vehicle, you can look up the repair to see what is involve.
Can a MIDI keyboard be played without connecting it to a DAW?
There are several ways to play a MIDI keyboard without connecting it to a DAW.There are devices that receive MIDI information and uses it to trigger an on-board library of sounds and samples. I believe they are called MIDI sound modules but they may go by a different name.You can use a MIDI keybord with a standalone VST. if you're just looking to perform, write, or practice, there is no need to open your VST as a plugin. Keep In mind that there will be no record, playback, or piano roll functionality this way.There are quite a few standalone keyboards on the market that double as MIDI controllers via USB or MIDI out. However, the audio information does not transfer. You'll have to use the MIDI information to trigger sounds within your keyboards companion VST (if it has one), use a separate VST, or simply record your keyboard via line out.hope this helps!
What is the difference between automatic and semi-automatic cars?
Automatic transmission in a car means that the gear changes are all done by the car.These sticks means that the car is completely automatic - you only need to put it on drive mode, and the car will do all the necessary gear change by itself.P is park,R is Reverse,N is Neutral, meaning the car can roll by itself,D is Drive,The lower 2 may changed, but those two are options to lock the gears in one gear ratio. L is the lower gear, and 2 only allows the car to use first or second gear.However, the semi-automatic is different in that while it does not change gears by itself, it instead “helps” the driver switch through gears.(They are also called paddle-shift gearboxes, because there are usually paddles on the back to change the gears)The semi-automatic transmission has no need for a clutch for this reason - it does it for the driver.So, all the driver has to do is tell the car what gear he wants, and the car does it for him/her.For semi-automatic cars that have a stick for gear changes, they have up or down :Modern semi-automatic cars usually do have a automatic gear change option as well. The picture above shows the gears in semi-automatic mode, but if the driver pushes it left, it will be automatic.So basically:A semi-automatic has the driver order the car to move up or down a gear,An automatic has the car doing everything for the driver - the driver doesn’t have to worry about gears at all.
