1.9 Перевод причастных оборотов

1. A data warehouse is a database that holds business information from many sources in the enterprise, covering all aspects of the company’s processes, products, and customers. 2. Fiber-optic cable, consisting of many extremely thin strands of glass or plastic bound together in a sheathing (a jacket), transmits signals with light beams. 3. Workstations are used to support engineering and technical users who perform heavy mathematical computing, computer-aided design (CAD), and other applications requiring a high-end processor. 4. There are a number of advantages to using a software suite: once you learn the basics for one application, the other applications are easy to learn and use. 5. A graphical user interface (GUI) uses pictures (called icons) and menus displayed on screen to send commands to the computer system. 6. Often, high-priced consultants must be hired to help patch the business back together. 7. Аn empowered salesclerk would be able to respond to certain customer requests or problems without needing permission from a supervisor. 8. The number of bits a bus line can transfer at any one time is known as bus line width. 9. Most CPUs are collections of digital circuits imprinted on silicon wafers, or chips, each no bigger than the tip of a pencil eraser. 10. Registers are high-speed storage areas used to temporarily hold small units of program instructions and data immediately before, during, and after execution by the CPU. 11. The components responsible for processing–the CPU and memory–are housed together in the same box or cabinet, called the system unit. 12. When considered on a megabyte-to-megabyte basis, memory is still considerably more expensive than most forms of secondary storage. 13. Generally, the problem is a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker; you’ll find both at the cord end of the strip. 14. Having more RAM main memory means you can run more software programs at the same time. 15. Having a less complex code, as in the case of RISC chips, not only can increase speed and reliability but can also reduce chip manufacturing costs. 16. Having been the most common devices used for entry and input of data, a keyboard and a computer mouse allow entering characters, text, and basic commands.
