...Information Literacy | Advance Accounting- Dr. | February 9,2010: Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota announces a recall in the United States of its 2010 Toyota Prius model due to issues with the car’s braking system. | 11/27/2012 11/27/2012 ------------------------------------------------- Japanese automobile manufacture Toyota announces a recall in the United States of its 2010 Prism model due to issues with the car’s breaking system. February 9, 2010 Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) U.S.A, Inc., announced it will conduct a voluntary safety recall on approximately 133,000 2010 model year Prius vehicles and 14,500 Lexus Division 2010m HS 250h vehicles to upgrade software in the vehicle anti-lock brake system (ABS). The ABS is normal operating, engages in disengages rapidly (many times per second) as the control system senses and reacts to tire slippage. Some 2010 model tear Prius and 2010 HS 250h owners have reported experiencing inconsistent brake feel during slow and steady application of brakes on rough or slick road surfaces when the ABS is activated in an effort to maintain tire traction. Toyota has responded to owners concerns with a running production change for 2010 Prius that was introduced in the past month, improving the ABS system’s response times as well as the system’s overall sensitivity to tire slippage. Toyota promises that the company is committed to do everything they can as fast as possible to restore consumer trust in Toyota...

...ABS The ABS, as it is commonly called is the abbreviation for Anti-Lock Braking System. This is a feature that many of the newer cars come fitted with. But it was not always the case, and still is not the case with several makes. What is the ABS? Before that question is answered, it is perhaps necessary to look at the "brakes". But simply, a brake is a system device that reduces speed or stops a moving object (in this case your car) by creating a force in the opposite direction. Insufficient pressure (brake torque) in the brake system causes "wheel lock" while the vehicle is moving above 80 km/h on a dry paved road surface. Premature "wheel lock" occurs from turbulent shock waves being generated by the uneven braking surfaces (rotors or drums contacting the pads/shoes), vibrating or slapping against the hydraulic pistons in either the clippers or the wheel cylinders. The force of these shock waves can be easily 100 times that of brake torque or the maximum pressure exerted on the rotating brake components. These shock waves have more than enough force to lock the wheels. Wheel lock occurs when brake torque forces exceed tyre grip forces. The impact would be much greater if the road surface is slippery due to rain, oil spills or other causes, or if the vehicle is driven at great speed. At speed, control of the car is difficult, especially at corners where there is a tendency to skid. Statistics show that approximately 40% of automobile accidents are due to...

...Buying an SUV? New, Used, or Not at All? Abstract Purchasing a vehicle is the second largest purchase a household can make. There are so many questions to ask and variables to consider. Both quantitative and qualitative variables should be researched. Making the wrong choice can be a costly mistake. The Fields’ household has decided to look into purchasing a small SUV. They have narrowed it down to a new (2015) or used (2012) Chevrolet Equinox verses a new (2015) or used (2012) Ford Escape. Then again, depending on budgets, payments, and other multiple variables – they may not buy at all. The Fields’ are thinking of upgrading to a larger vehicle from very small, low miles per gallon, high cost to insure, but paid off 2007 Ford Mustang. Just a few of the variables they must consider are cost of the vehicle (monthly payments), depreciation, cost of insurance, gas mileage, safety features, and style. They must also consider the best fit for the family. Some of these variables will be more qualitative measures. They have a teenage son who plays basketball. He is very tall and needs to fit comfortably in the SUV. He also needs the extra room in the back to haul all of his basketball gear. Not to mention, he wants to look cool being dropped off at school. They also have a daughter who is in college. She likes the extra room to haul her friends around, and of course she wants a good-looking vehicle as well. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fields need the extra room for luggage...

The investigation of an ABSCAM consisted of people getting arrested for stolen painting, stolen jewelry, and fake securities. The ABSCAM organized the crime undercover it was elected among the local, state, and national levels. The short word for ABSCAM was Arab Scam. The ABSCAM first major sting became a media story that led to the movie American Hustle. The start of the ABSCAM investigation started on February 1978, when a Federal Bureau Investigation got together on a case of a guy by the name of Melvin Weinberg, an untrained officer that who was in prison and he was previously working as a bureau informant. Weinberg was facing three years in a prison after he was convicted of running a real-estate scheme. The Federal Bureau Investigation looked into his case and asked the judge if they could reduce his prison sentence and reduce it into probation instead of jail time so he could help out with the ABSCAM investigation. On February 1980, the American shocked the world that the Federal Bureau Investigation conducted a probe of serious violations of the law. The Federal Bureau Investigation role of the undercover agents is posed to an Arab man operating a business called the Abdul Enterprises. The undercover agents met up with the members of Congress and the local officials. They offered the Congress and the local official’s money or other inducement with exchange for a political favor....

They are used for automation of difficult tasks, especially navigation, may be referred to as the semi-autonomous. a vehicle solely relying on automation is known as autonomous . After the invention of the integrated circuit, the sophistication of the automation technology has increased. Manufacturers and researchers have subsequently added a variety of automated functions to automobiles and other vehicles There may be many ways of vehicular automation, but some of the important ones are as follow: * Cruise control * ABS (Antilock Breaking System) * Traction control system * Electronic Stability Control * Hill Descent Control System (HDC) CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control (sometimes known as speed control or autocruise, or tempomat in some countries) is a system that automatically controls the speed of a motor vehicle. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the throttle of the car to maintain a steady speed as set by the driver. HISTORY Speed control with a centrifugal governor was used in automobiles as early as 1900 in the Wilson-Pilcher and also in the 1910s by Peerless. Peerless advertised that their system would "maintain speed whether up hill or down". The technology was adopted...

...Kim Moore ITT Technical Institute/NSA Black/NT1110 December 3, 2012 Identity theft is when someone uses another’s personal information without that person’s knowledge or permission to pretend to be that person. There are several types of identity theft; financial, criminal, cloning, business, medical, and synthetic, just to name a few. Identity theft has been around a long time, but it has become increasingly more prevalent in recent years due to the increased use of cyberspace. It also has become easier for thieves to operate without getting caught. Identity thieves are all around. They are like strangers we tell our kids to beware of. Anyone we come in contact with could be a potential identity thief. Every day identity thieves are planning their next theft. They use cyberspace to collect information through phishing, which is sending emails that pretend to be a legitimate business, but provide links to fake websites and ask for personal information. Also, through pharming, they send emails with viruses attached. Another way is through robot networks, these allow a hacker to take control of a computer from a remote location. Lastly, through typosquatting, when people make typing errors they land on websites that are similar to legitimate businesses, this allows thieves to infect computers (Ramaswamy, 2006). Thieves also use spyware and malware to gain information from unsuspecting people. Identity thieves steal from unsuspecting victims for financial...

...them full access to the state department’s computers and eventually they were able to convince someone to give them access to the white house’s non classified systems where sensitive information like the presidents non-published schedule and other information. The state department had been battling the hackers for months on trying to keep the hackers out but with no success at doing so. The systems were taken off line in an attempt to purge the mal-ware that was installed that gave the access to the systems and for new security measures to be put into place to help prevent future attacks on the systems. (Prokupecz, 2015) The attack was done by using a phishing scam. The way this works is first someone sends a message to a user, in this case it was by an email, trying to convince the user that they are someone from inside their work place, representing an event from the work place, or represents themselves as a trusted source. They then get the user to click on a web link that takes them to a fake website. Once at the site the hacker then downloads a malware virus that does several things. The first it can record information that is inputted or stored on the system like user names and passwords to bank account records. The second this malware can install a back door to the system giving the hacker access to the system as if they were an admin on the network. The third is...

...businesses are based on free trade in a Capitalist system. In its simplest form this means that each business is free to compete with the next. That the entrepreneur is free to risk and open a business whether it is for social gain or profit. Businesses openly compete for the business of the client or customer because they need the income. Businesses have been competing among one another since the industrialization of the United States of America. There have not always rules and regulations to govern fair and equitable trade and business practices. However, with competition came regulation for business and trade. A Competitive America As Americans we love to compete. Therefore it is no wonder that the United States economy is based on competition. Promoting competition is accepted as the best way to promote consumer well-being. America’s anti-trust laws have been in place for more than 100 years, since the Industrialization of America protecting the consumer’s rights. However, more countries have passed anti-trust laws in the past 20 years. America’s anti-trust laws were passed to focus on anti-competitive practices. Americans have long loved free market system and the competition that it fosters. Competition among businesses has been regulated by anti-trust acts recently; however they help to maintain a fair and equitable system where the small business is able to compete with the big business. The anti-trust laws enable the consumer to purchase a quality...

...zero-tolerance policy for employee theft was reasonable and effective way for internal control. Even though the case presented only one instance when Fierro was caught stealing, the fact that he was caught already tends to lead someone/management or gives the management a notion to believe that he had probably stole before or will probably do it in the future. The zero-tolerance policy might seem harsh, however it has its advantages that are hard to calculate. The policy might have resulted to the termination of a top performing employee but it sent a message to the rest of the employees exactly how serious the company is concerning employee theft. Forging signature and theft are both criminal offenses. Hence, even if the loss that Saks has suffered was relatively trivial/small ($9.85), Fierro should receive appropriate sanctions for his actions for he clearly violated some provisions of the company’s employee handbook. Such policy is also a way to maintain strict code of conduct among Saks’ employees and promote a sound control environment that advocates an honest culture of integrity and ethical values. The policy may not be cost-effective in the short-run since sales may decrease due to Fierro’s termination, as he was a top performing salesman. However, in the long-run, the policy can prevent future losses from employee theft. The long-run savings can outweigh the short-term losses. In my opinion, the store’s zero-tolerance policy for theft was unreasonable. An employee...
