...Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision Ever since the automotive revolution began, there has been a battle between manual and automatic transmissions. Why are stick shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and one must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? The truth is, driving a stick shift offers benefits that automatic does not. People who drive stick shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of one’s car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not. Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who do not like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should. With an automatic car it makes it easier for one to text, eat, do make up, or even read while driving which can lead to an accident or even death. Cars with automatic transmissions have improved through modern chips that have developed better shifting and response when the driver just presses on the gas. Even with the modern advances, automatic transmission cars encounter problems with the transmission more often than stick shift cars. Although automatic transmissions are easier to drive, they are not as fun because...

TO: Tom Jones, Owner of Tom’s Used Cars DATE: 7/26/2011 SUBJECT: Analysis of asking car prices (Used Mustangs) Please find below the results of the analysis of the asking prices of used cars with different characteristics. Introduction Buying cars is one of the most critical things in our life. We need to research different categories before we spend our dollars, and we must establish buying guides. Examples of the buying guides are: 1) I have to know exactly how 2) I have to know what car I want and what car meet my criteria. These guides will help us decide how much you can afford to spend, whether you should look at a fancy car or regular car, whether you should look at car with grand tourer (GT) or without grand tourer, style, transmission type and a myriad of other factors. The borderline that we agreed on as a team is the car reliability, quality, performance, and power. On this specific case study we would like to study several variables and research these variables effects. The car price, which is the car age, odometer reading in miles, type of the transmission, the number of cylinders...

...Manual vs. Automatic Transmission You want to get a new car, but you are not sure whether to get one with an automatic transmission or one with a manual transmission. Well read on and perhaps this essay will help you out with your decision. Cars have played a big role in my life. When I was a little kid my dad and I used to work on his 197? Ford Granada. Every time something would go wrong with the car he would ask me to help him fix it. Not because I knew much about cars, because I didn't know anything about the subject, but because he wanted me to learn about cars and spend some time with me. Or maybe he just didn't want me to get ripped off at a garage when something went wrong with my car. Either way, we spent a lot of time working on cars. He taught me to love cars; I think it was because of him that I got really into cars.

Or even how to drive it, that is your prerogative. All I can tell you is that if you want some excitement in your ride, and do not want to spend a lot of money in the maintenance of you car, your best choice is a manual transmission. Even though manual transmissions are "it", for lack of a better word, in the end, it all comes down to the individual's preference Work Cited "Automatic or Manual: Which is Safer?"

...Market Scenario With the advent of vehicles like Mahindra Quanto, Premier Rio and Renault Duster launched in the country, the Compact SUV market is making a name for itself with more and more consumers moving towards this segment. Claiming to give an experience of both the worlds; a compact premium hatchback and an entry level sedan, the makers of these SUVs are pitching the product to appeal to a younger, professional and lifestyle oriented users. According to Vivek Nayer, CMO, Automotive Division, Mahindra and Mahindra, the brand that launched Quanto two months back, says that Mahindra is trying to create a new segment as the market for compact SUV was non-existent in India. He explains that this segment will appeal to hatchback owners, entry level sedan owners and SUV owners as well. There are areas and scope for improvement in each of these segments. For example, he says hatchbacks are compact, have decent mileage and have easy manoeuvrability but do not have the presence, high ground clearance or the space of an SUV. “We believe that the compact SUV is the best of both worlds, it allows the user to get the feel of both the worlds. It is compact from the outside, easy to manoeuvre in the city, and at the same time spacious from the inside,” adds Nayer. Change to compact Umang kumar, Co-Founder and CEO Gaadi.com affirms that the segment has gained popularity, but only over the past few years in India. “People in India now indulge in more outdoor activities compared to...

Discussion here: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=292031897492759 **please don't ask me why only torque but power graph is not shown. **go google the relationship between power and torque A typical 4-2-1 makes good gain from low-mid rev range to rev cut, without loosing the low range. A typical 4-1 makes huge gain from mid rev range to cut, but loosing the low range slightly. SO WHICH IS BETTER? This is a question you should ask yourself. GRAPH 2) Typical revolution vs velocity relation for a 5-speed manual transmission check previous photo. discuss here: https://www.facebook.com/drexchan/posts/279650262057549 **revolution is RPM lah... **velocity is speed lor.... **applicable for automatic transmission too, don't ask. Now, check Graph 2, compare that to your driving style, see which rev range you use most (in normal driving, highway cruising, and sprint). Then compare that with Graph 1, see which type of extractor suits you. Situation A: You are doing a sprint, you will only use zone A (1k rpm to 3k rpm) once or twice and from 3rd gear on wards you will be using zone B (3k rpm to 6k rpm). So you want a 4-1 because it gains more in that range. Whatever gain in zone A (from a 4-2-1) is near to useless to you, and the gain in zone B from a typical 4-2-1 is lower than that from a typical 4-1. So a 4-1 is better for...

...detection etc. We have studied principles of ZigBee network operations and simulated the traffic scenario using NS2, generated various graphs on the basis of simulations obtained from NS2 and finally using the statistics generated, we have concluded that ZigBee is an highly efficient wireless network protocol and is capable of overcoming the discrepancies of existing methodologies. KEYWORDS Zigbee, Vehicle Management, IEEE 802.15.4, Beacon Frames BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION As the technology is advancing, we are entering into an era where there is no space for waiting time and errors. We require a system that is capable of handling heavy traffic on the high-tech roads, especially toll deduction roads. Currently implemented systems are either manual or they use technologies like RFID that fail under certain circumstances and are not 100% efficient. [5, 7, 9] We need a system with following features:- 1. It should be weather proof & water proof. 2. To prevent vandalism[6] 3. Highly efficient traffic management needed[6] 4. Minimum error rate required [6] 5. Minimum use power resources required[6] One of the primary issues to be concerned with an RFID implementation is the immaturity of the industry. Standards are only just being developed. Tags and readers are being modified and improved at a rapid rate. Competing technologies and non-cross compliant systems still exist. This ongoing development could make equipment and tags obsolete, rendering investments in older equipment useless...

...Resilient Packet Ring Technology 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background: The nature of the public network has changed. Demand for Internet Protocol (IP) data is growing at a compound annual rate of between 100% and 800%1, while voice demand remains stable. What was once a predominantly circuit switched network handling mainly circuit switched voice traffic has become a circuit-switched network handling mainly IP data. Because the nature of the traffic is not well matched to the underlying technology, this network is proving very costly to scale. User spending has not increased proportionally to the rate of bandwidth increase, and carrier revenue growth is stuck at the lower end of 10% to 20% per year. The result is that carriers are building themselves out of business. Over the last 10 years, as data traffic has grown both in importance and volume, technologies such as frame relay, ATM, and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) have been developed to force fit data onto the circuit network. While these protocols provided virtual connections-a useful approach for many services-they have proven too inefficient, costly and complex to scale to the levels necessary to satisfy the insatiable demand for data services. More recently, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) has been adopted by many network service providers as a way to network user data without the burden of SONET/SDH and ATM. GigE has shortcomings when applied in carrier networks were recognized and for these problems, a technology...

...Energy crisis is the most important issue in today's world. Conventional energy resources are not only limited but also the prime culprit for environmental pollution. Renewable energy resources are getting priorities in the whole world to lessen the dependency on conventional resources. Solar energy is rapidly gaining the focus as an important means of expanding renewable energy uses. Solar cells those convert sun's energy into electrical energy are costly and inefficient. Different mechanisms are applied to increase the efficiency of the solar cell to reduce the cost. Solar tracking system is the most appropriate technology to enhance the efficiency of the solar cells by tracking the sun. A microcontroller based design methodology of an automatic solar tracker is presented in this paper. Light dependent resistors are used as the sensors of the solar tracker. The designed tracker has precise control mechanism which will provide three ways of controlling system. A small prototype of solar tracking system is also constructed to implement the design methodology presented here. Index Terms:- MPPT I. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s electricity generation using solar mobile has been growing fast day today.

...MCS0021 GM’s Saturn Story: Integrated Strategy for Communication and Brand Building “Untill 1989, Americans thought of Saturn, when they thought of it at all, as the sixth planet from the sun. After 1989, Saturn the planet was preempted by Saturn the brand, a new shape of matter that signaled the comeback of a renovated universe called Detroit.” – Lynn B. Upshaw, Author, Building Brand Identity: A Strategy for Success in a Hostile Marketplace Genesis of Saturn On a wintry day in Detroit, the CEO of General Motors (GM), Roger B. Smith (Smith) was about to make an announcement. Since he had taken over in 1981, ‘the cherubic chairman’ 1 of GM had already brought about big changes in reorganising GM’s lumbering organisation structure. He had invested in robotics, space satellites and data-processing for which he had bought over entire companies such as Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems and Hughes Aircraft Company when he could have just contracted their services. On January 8th 1985, Smith was unveiling Saturn, GM’s first new brand in 70 years. It was to be a lot more than just another car brand. At that time, Smith was famously quoted as stating, “Saturn is the key to GM’s long term competitiveness, survival and success as a domestic producer.”2 As an independent subsidiary that relied on innovative technology and was managed by the workers and management in a joint decision making format, its mission was to “develop and produce an American made small car that will be...

...Design Class Volume Monitoring System with Automatic Influx Adjustment is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of counting the number of individuals inside a room very accurately. When somebody enters the room, the counter is incremented by one. When somebody exits the room, the counter will count down by one. The total number of individuals inside the room is displayed on the two 7-segments. Individual Counting is simply a measurement of the individual traffic entering and exiting offices, malls, sports, venues, rooms etc. Counting the number of individuals helps to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of employees, floor area of an organization, and even the monitoring of the people inside. Individual counting is not limited to the entry or exit point of an establishment but has a wide range of applications that provide information to management on the volume and flow of people throughout a location. A common method for counting the visitors involves sharing human auditors to manually tally the number of individuals who pass by a certain location. But human-based data collection comes at great expense. Our project aims to automate the counting of individuals with the use of a detector called Light-Dependent Resistor which makes it more reliable and efficient. The use of human auditors is redirected to other functions which makes a more productive system. Another feature of this project is its automatic adjustment of the system’s volume according to...

...EXCHANGE ON INFORMATION AND ITS AD 1. BRIEF OVERVIEW ON NEED OF EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION & ITS MEANING: 1.1 With the increase in cross border transactions in the era of globalised world there has been increase in the number of cases tax evasion & avoidance. The problem of tax evasion in developing countries is therefore exacerbated, where evasion even by a wealthy few can have a comparatively large impact. The revenue needs of developing countries, in combination with the severity of corruption, tax evasion and fraud in many developing countries, highlight the importance of increasing global transparency concerning the location of untaxed wealth. Globalization and the liberalization of economic activity, resulting in the exponential increase in cross border commercial and financial transactions, has in effect converted the private sector into a world without borders. This has created a major problem for national tax authorities because globalization in the private sector has not been accompanied by similar changes in the reach and enforcement powers of national tax authorities. 1.2 In confronting the impact of globalization and liberalization of economies, national tax authorities face several problems. Some of them are...
