If the charging current to a battery is 10 A during the bulk stage, approximately how much current is there at the end of the absorption stage?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What is the difference between a basic trickle charger and an on/off switched charger?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The current at the end of the absorption stage is set to a few percent of IMAX. Because IMAX is 10 A, the current is typically between 0.1 A to 0.2 A.

Answer to Question 2

The on/switch charger is essentially a trickle charger with an automatic on/off switch. Instead of a continuous charge as with the trickle charger, the on/off charger senses when the battery voltage reaches a preset reference level (VREF1) corresponding to full charge or float charge and shuts off the current to the battery.
When the battery discharges down to a second preset level (VREF2), it turns the current to the battery back on.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
