... you should avoid the following foods. Without proper care, you can end up damaging wires and popping brackets. 1. Always Avoid Gum Gum is a naturally sticky substance. While its rubbery texture is a part of gum's appeal, it is not ideal for any type of metal. It can easily get stuck between the wires in your teeth. In the best case scenario, you will end up spending hours with your toothbrush to dislodge the gum. Gum can also pull out...

Our group had an idea on how to make an alternative to this that would not only work like the real thing but would also be healthy to our environment and light in our pockets. This idea turned out to be realty and became the main goal of our Investigatory Project. B. Problems Finding an item that is easy to obtain and at the same time affordable, simple and earth- friendly is not an easy task. After a lot of thought, our group decided to use one of the objects that is almost always present in our daily lives: fruits and vegetables. Will these everyday materials such as apples, bananas, oranges, lemons and potatoes conduct electricity? Well, let’s see about that. C. Hypothesis A circuit is made up of a path, a source and a load. We believe that we should connect them with a (+) and a (-) wire so that the flow will be even with no reverse polarity. The load we thought of using was a battery- operated clock, one of the most common materials found in almost everyone’s household. We believe that it would work because the organic materials we will use have electrolytes that flow freely on its own. Thus, it will flow into conductors to make a decent circuit. Our thoughts on which will be the best conductor were different. Some said that the lemon is the best conductor due to its acidity. Some say it’s the banana due to its efficiency. Yet some also say it’s the orange due to its fame as a fruit. D. Significance of the...

...because Apple is among the most recognised brands in the world? For an objective analysis, a deeper look into the management and supply chain must be investigated thoroughly. However, in order to study Apple’s supply chain management, parameters on what a supply chain is must be set. Traditionally “Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the provision of product and service packages required by the end customers in a supply chain.” Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. SCM works on three different levels, the strategic level, the tactical level and the operational level. All three are imperative for a company to function properly Apple is the best in the world at innovative product development. Because the company develops hardware, software, and associated digital services—rather than just focusing on one dimension—it can provide an unmatched user experience. This allows Apple to capture high margins from its products and services. But by many definitions alone, product development is not supply chain management; procurement, manufacturing, and logistics are. That said, Apple has a fascinating supply chain that is very different from traditional supply chains. This supply chain comes with pre-built advantages and disadvantages. On the advantage side, demand management is easier. Apple doesn’t...

...Inductive Power Transfer Group 10 Muralidhar Konda Shourie Reddy OBJECTIVE ● The main aim of the project is to design and construct a method to transfer wireless Electrical Power to charge a low power device so as to reduce the usage of “wires”. ● Another application would be to include charging of multiple devices using a single source . SPECIFICATIONS ● High frequency (upto 100-500 KHz) ● High Efficiency(40-50%) which can be achieved by increasing the coupling between the transmitter and receiver. ● The range should not be less than 10 cms. ● High current(500mA or more). METHODS There are different methods by which power can be transmitted wirelessly. Some of them would be ● Using Inductive Coupling for short range. ● Resonant Induction for mid range. ● Electromagnetic wave power transfer for high range. TRANSMITTER MODULE ● The transmitter module of our project is made up of a D.C. power source, an oscillator circuit(royer oscillator in our case) and a transmitter coil. ● The D.C. power source provides a constant D.C. voltage to the input of the oscillator circuit. There, this D.C. power is converted to a high frequency A.C. power and is supplied to the transmitter coil. ● The transmitter coil, energized by the high frequency A.C. current, produces an alternating magnetic field. ROYER OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY MODIFICATION ● The oscillator runs at the frequency determined by the inductance of the coil and the capacitor value ● The operating frequency...

...Kevin Joyce Brian Lopez Apple Corporation Marketing Strategy Apple is a leading innovator in numerous technological markets, which includes the computer market, tablet market, smartphone market and the MP3 market. Being a leader in these industries comes with many challenges due to the number of competitors in each of the markets. Their main competitors are HP and Dell when it comes to the computer industry. Samsung, Google, HP and Dell are also primary competition in the tablet market. Apple was far and away the leader in the smartphone industry, however Google’s Android and Samsung’s Galaxy are becoming increasingly popular and they have become Apples principal competition. Apple brought MP3 players to a whole new spectrum when the iPod was introduced; however the iPod’s main competition is Apples very own iPhone because of the iPhones music playing capabilities. In order for Apple to stay the alpha leader in all these industries they must constantly be innovating and differentiating their products from their competitors. One of the greatest strengths of Apple is the way that each of their products can seamlessly interact with other Apple products. This is a key element that Apple has a keen edge in over their competition. For example, ITunes was a pioneer for the music storage devices that could be saved on your computer and can now be used to transfer music from your computer/tablet to your iPod/IPhone. Now, Apple has made it even easier to sync not just music...

...He strips the animals of their rights and makes himself superior to all the other animals. In the novel it stated, “So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone” (Orwell 36). In this scene, the animals argue about the milk and apples only going to the pigs, and then, they agree that the other animals would not have any apples and milk and that they would go solely to the pigs. When Orwell wrote “and also the main crop of apples when they ripened,” it shows that the pigs begin to dominate the main population by not only taking the windfall apples, but the rest of them as well. Another example of the way the animals’ rights are withheld occurs when Squealer explains to them the reason why Napoleon makes all of the decisions. Squealer states, “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal....

...connecting peripherals to a computer. It features a standarized port designed to accommodate many different types of hardware devices. Most modern devices such as digital cameras, printers, scanners, flash drives, cell phones, iPods and other MP3 players use some variation of the USB port in their design.The first USB technology began development in 1994, co-invented by Ajay Bhatt of Intel and the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum, Inc). The organization is comprised of industry leaders like Intel, Microsoft, Compaq, LSI, Apple and Hewlett-Packard. It supports and adopts comprehensive specifications for all aspects of USB technology.Before USB came into existence, computers used serial and parallel ports to plug devices into computers and transfer data. Individual ports were used for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, joysticks and printers. Expansion cards and custom drivers were often required to connect the devices. Parallel ports transferred data at approximately 100 kilobytes per second, where as serial ports ranged from 115 to more than 450 kilobits per second. Some ports could not run simultaneously.The high volume of incompatibilities and the attempt to use multiple interfaces helped signal the demand for a technology like USB, which could take half a...

...necessary and were items that only the wealthy wasted their money on. The majority of people have incorporated cellular phones into their everyday life. From 2006-2010 subscriber numbers increased an estimated 5.9% per year, resulting in increases in industry revenue at an average annualized rate of 3.9% (Brumley). Cell phone would be nothing without a cellular service provider. In order for you and I to have teleconferences, talk with family and friends, or hold any type of conversation while on the go without being tied down by wires cellular service providers offer transmission services to us through radio frequency signals rather than through end-to-end wire communication like land lines. These services can sometimes be complemented with data, messaging, and GPS packages and even more. Due to our constant need to be connected with each other cellular service providers are continuing to grow in the domestic market. For an industry that started less than 30 years ago it had revenues of about $138 billion in 2007 and currently has an estimate of 238.2 million subscribers. Wireless services were based on cellular technology in the beginning. Cellular technology divided geographic regions in cells and sent analog signals to customers using a wave through radio transmitters. Now digital technology is used to provide wireless customers with more efficient wireless service. Digital technology uses the same wave as analog technology except it divides the wave and converts it into...
