A high PT usually means that there is serious liver damage or cirrhosis. Other things to know: Some patients take a drug called Coumadin (warfarin), which elevates the PT for the purpose of thinning the blood. This is not related to having liver disease because it is the Coumadin causing the PT to be high.
A battery backup, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS), is primarily used to provide a backup power source to important desktop computer hardware components.
A standby UPS runs the computer off of the normal utility power until it detects a problem. At that point, it very quickly (in five milliseconds or less) turns on a power inverter and runs the computer off of the UPS's battery (see How Batteries Work for more information).ou could fairly easily build a continuous UPS yourself with a largish battery charger, a battery and a power inverter. The battery charger continuously produces DC power, which the inverter continuously turns back into 120-volt AC power.
