How is the brain different from a computer? The brain uses chemicals to transmit information; the computer uses electricity. Even though electrical signals travel at high speeds in the nervous system, they travel even faster through the wires in a computer. A computer uses switches that are either on or off (“binary”). Is the human […]
What are major types of control for robots?
What are major types of control for robots? There are two basic types of control systems: (1) the point-to-point control system and (2) the continuous path control system. Point-to-point control system. With point-to-point control, the robot records the point where it picks up a part and the point where it releases that part. What are […]
What is non-load bearing structure?
What is non-load bearing structure? On the other hand, non-load bearing walls are placed inside the house and do not support any structural weight of the building. They don’t bear any additional weight of the house’s structure other than their own. These walls are used primarily as room dividers and mostly serve no other purpose. […]
What is sequence number in sliding window protocol?
What is sequence number in sliding window protocol? The number of bits in the sequence number is 2 to generate the binary sequence 00, 01, 10, 11. The size of the receiving window is the maximum number of frames that the receiver can accept at a time. It determines the maximum number of frames that […]
How many types of actuators are present in hydraulic systems?
How many types of actuators are present in hydraulic systems? 1. Linear actuator: For linear actuation (hydraulic cylinders). 2. Rotary actuator: For rotary actuation (hydraulic motor). Which type of pumps can give discharge even at high pressure? Explanation: Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps. Rotary pumps have two or more rotating components. The discharge of […]
How do you calculate an adjustment for an allowance?
How do you calculate an adjustment for an allowance? The adjustment for allowances is calculated as the product of the number of allowances (in the employee information section), the allowance deduction amount (in the model assumptions), and the employee tax rate (calculated in task 10). Calculate the net federal income tax. How do the number […]
What determines the number of valence electrons?
What determines the number of valence electrons? For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom’s main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in […]
What is the glass transition temperature Tg of a polymer?
What is the glass transition temperature Tg of a polymer? The glass transition temperature is the temperature range where the polymer substrate changes from a rigid glassy material to a soft (not melted) material, and is usually measured in terms of the stiffness, or modulus. How do you determine the glass transition temperature of a […]
What is spring stiffness?
What is spring stiffness? A ideal spring has an equilibrium length. It is a measure of the spring’s stiffness. When a spring is stretched or compressed, so that its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length, then it exerts a force F = -kx in a direction towards its equilibrium position. What […]
What is a guaranteed maximum price GMP contract?
What is a guaranteed maximum price GMP contract? A guaranteed maximum price contract is a hybrid of a cost reimbursable contract and a fixed lump sum. A contractor is reimbursed the costs that it actually incurs when they are incurred, which assists with cashflow. However, unlike an alliance, those costs are capped at the Guaranteed […]
