...we know them too. One circuit type that most people today have in their homes and not know about are what’s Operational Amplifiers or op-amps.. You can find them in the amplifiers in our home theater systems or simple TVs or in our transportation like airplanes and automobiles. The op-amp common used in radios or communication devices amplifies the voltage that flows in the differential input out of the single output thousands and thousands of times than the initial input which is why it’s the key component of amplification. This key function is why hooking up a car amp to a set of subs at one end and the head unit at the other gives you that loud booming bass that the young generation loves to have. The op-amp had its earliest begins in the 20th century by J.A.Fleming in 1904 which was a vacuum based rectifier. Used also in analog computers for solving mathematic equations it wasn’t until the 1920s when Bells Lab invented the feedback amp for the telephone. Used a lot in WWII these style of vacuum tubes were then starting to be replaced around the 1950s and 60s because they were large hot and required a lot of power. As technology improved so did the op-amp over the years there has been many different types of amps like IC op-amp, reactor bridge op-amp designed to have very small input current, or the monolithic op-amp. The op-amp we know of today works in both open and closed loop operations. In a...

...Toulmin model assignment Now that you have a firm understanding of the Toulmin model and its various parts, you will now apply that information to the real world. You are to find an argument made in a newspaper or magazine editorial, and then analyze the argument via the Toulmin model. The article can be from an online newspaper or magazine, but blogs or normal webpages are not acceptable. Additionally, the article MUST be an editorial or op-ed piece – these are to be personal views that are making a specific argument about an issue. Beyond including a hard copy of your article, you will want to include the following: * Identify the parts present – analyzing the artifact, you will identify any and all parts of the Toulmin model that are present within the artifact. For each part, you will need to present three aspects: * Define the Toulmin part – define (briefly) what this part is (to demonstrate that you know what you’re supposed to be looking for). This should be in your own words – don’t just quote the readings. * Express the example – express what specifically, within the artifact, is representing this particular part of the Toulmin model. This should be a direct quotation from the article. Do NOT paraphrase this part. * Explain the selection – explain why this particular selection you have chosen is a representation of this particular part of the Toulmin model. How does it fit into this type? Why would this be an example of the part...

...unusual point of view on a current public conundrum, along with a relevant platform (e.g., being a teacher, businessman, lawyer, doctor, parent or stamp collector) you don’t need clips or editorial experience on your résumé—just quick thinking and an understanding of the form of these articles. I once sent a hastily written kvetch about a Kmart opening in my Greenwich Village neighborhood to The New York Times at noon, had an acceptance by 2 p.m., was sent a copy by midnight and received a check within a week. Here are the essential elements of a successful and sellable op-ed. 1. BE TIMELY OR EARLY. I submitted my Kmart commentary the week the local branch opened, which, luckily, coincided with a front-page debate about superstores infiltrating Manhattan. Timeliness is essential with this genre, especially now that online news sites can update as often as they choose. The presidential election was hot for op-ed writers until Nov. 4; then, regular columnists took over the topic. Be sure to factor in lead times and how long it can take an editor to reply (especially if he doesn’t know you). If the Fourth of July is next week, your patriotic piece might already be too late. Retool it for Labor Day. Holidaysare reliable hooks because they happen every year, so you can plan ahead (or try...

...Constitutional Law: Bill of Rights TUTORIAL 1: WRITING AN OP-ED Do you have an interesting opinion to share? Is something driving you crazy? Is there something which needs to be said which no-one else is saying? If you can express it clearly and persuasively in an op-ed, you can reach thousands of people, and possibly sway hearts, change minds, influence decision-makers and even shape public policy. In the process, you also earn recognition for yourself and your institution, all for less effort than it takes to write a professional journal article. An op-ed is a short punchy piece of writing in which you give your opinion and try to convince your readers why you are right. It is not like an essay that unfolds slowly like a carpet. Quite the opposite because in an op-ed you open with your conclusion – the one message that you want to get across in the op-ed. This is the most important thing to remember about an op-ed. You have space for ONE message only. The rest of the op-ed is for you to make your case and support your view or conclusion. In the process of doing so, you usually play an educating role for readers who have no specialist knowledge of the subject matter. It is important though that your op-ed is accessible and not preachy. So an op-ed is the expression of your opinion, but backed up with facts, research or first-hand information. Typically an op-ed is 700-800 words. Any longer and you risk an editor deciding not to publish it because she can’t...

...Mountain Equipment Co-op Report In this report our group discusses the ethics and impacts of MEC’s decision to shift from primarily Canadian manufactured goods to offshore facilities. We will discuss which stakeholders are affected, how they are affected, how they are going global and the risks and investments involved, the ethical issues involved in purchasing offshore goods and MEC’s sustainability strategy. MEC’s decision to carry products manufactured in offshore facilities will affect the following stakeholders: Stakeholder | Effect | Description | Canadian Manufacturers | Suffer | They will lose business | Offshore Manufacturers | Benefit | They will gain business | Consumers | Benefit | High quality products for low cost | Investor(members) | Benefit | More surplus will return more dividends | Canadian Employees | Suffer | Lose jobs as manufacturers lose business | Offshore Employees | Benefit | Better work environment and pay rate | Governments | Benefit | Canada: More tax revenue as consumers will buy cheaper products.Offshore: Investment in the country and increasing employment rate | MEC is ‘going global’ by purchasing from offshore manufacturers, increasing its global influence through parternerships, improving foreign work environments, and purchasing from sustainable manufacturers. In addition MEC is a member of the UN global compact, Canadian business, and the Social Responsibility Labour Association. There is a higher degree of investment...

...EE43 Theory: Op-Amps 1. Objective The purpose of these experiments is to introduce the most important of all analog building blocks, the operational amplifier (“op-amp” for short). This handout gives an introduction to these amplifiers and a smattering of the various configurations that they can be used in. Apart from their most common use as amplifiers (both inverting and non-inverting), they also find applications as buffers (load isolators), adders, subtractors, integrators, logarithmic amplifiers, impedance converters, filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject or notch), and differential amplifiers. So let’s get set for a fun-filled adventure with op-amps! 2. Introduction: Amplifier Circuit Before jumping into op-amps, let’s first go over some amplifier fundamentals. An amplifier has an input port and an output port. (A port consists of two terminals, one of which is usually connected to the ground node.) In a linear amplifier, the output signal = A ( input signal, where A is the amplification factor or “gain.” Depending on the nature of the input and output signals, we can have four types of amplifier gain: voltage gain (voltage out / voltage in), current gain (current out / current in), transresistance (voltage out / current in) and transconductance (current out / voltage in). Since most op-amps are used as voltage-to-voltage amplifiers, we will limit the discussion here to this type of amplifier. The circuit model of an amplifier...

...C3 / F5 Electronics F5.1 OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a voltage amplifier which amplifies the difference between the voltages on its two input terminals. Op-amps often require a dual balanced d.c. power supply, e.g. ± 15V. However, they will work over a wide range of supply voltages from ±5V to ±15V. The power supply connections are often omitted from circuit diagrams for simplicity. The diagram below shows the typical connections for an op-amp. [pic] The + input terminal is known as the non-inverting input and the – input terminal is known as the inverting input terminal. The output voltage is given by [pic] where A is the voltage gain. An op-amp is assumed to behave ideally and the general properties of an ideal op-amp include:- • the voltage gain is very large (typically, 106 at low frequencies), • the maximum output voltage is equal to the power supply voltage, (in practice it is about 2V less), • it has infinite input resistance so no current passes into the input terminals, (typically 109(, so there is an input current of a few nano-amps), • the output impedance is zero so it can supply any required current, (in practice many op-amps are designed to limit the current to approximately 15mA), • the output voltage is zero when the two inputs are equal, (in practice there is a small offset voltage which needs a variable resistor to balance out).

...Het effect van brandimage op McDonald’s Customer Loyalty Docent: | Drs. W. de Vries jr. | Groep 10: | Jammeren of juichen? | Afdeling: | Marketing | Namen: | Nikki PierrotMark SchutteDaan SchuurmanRico Temmink | Inleiding McDonald’s is een van de winnaars van de crisis (NOS, 2014). Althans zo omschrijven de media het. Namen als McDonald’s, Van der Valk en LIDL zijn sprekende namen en zijn in staat om tijdens crisistijd dubbele groeicijfers te realiseren. Volgens dhr. Grievink, directeur van het Foodservice Instituut (FSIN), is dit vooral gelegen in de duidelijke consumentenverwachting bij de dienstverlening van deze merken (NOS, 2014). In dit kader kan breder gekeken worden naar de rol van het imago op loyaliteit zoals klanten deze uitdrukken door herhaalde aankopen bij een bepaald bedrijf uit te voeren. Meer specifiek stellen wij onszelf de vraag: Welk effect heeft het brandimage van McDonald’s op customer loyalty met customer satisfaction als mediator? In dit paper zullen we opeenvolgend bekijken wat precies merkimago is en hoe dit er voor McDonald’s uit ziet; tevens kijken we naar het creatieproces van een merkimago en identificeren we de verschillende types van associaties die consumenten kunnen hebben ten opzichte van een merk. Vervolgens kijken we naar de rol van loyaliteit. Wat is het en hoe staat dit in verband met merkimago? In hoofdstuk 3 behandelen we de relatie tussen merkimago en klantloyaliteit en in het specifiek het belang van satisfactie...

...bedrijf kan er nog omheen: de marketing moet voor een belangrijk deel gericht worden op e-marketing. Er zijn weinig mensen meer die niet actief zijn op de social media zoals Hyves, Twitter of Facebook. De databases van die social media zorgen ervoor dat de marketing zich kan optimaliseren door daar gebruik van te maken. Vooral Facebook is zeer geschikt voor het promoten van de nieuwe collecties van H&M door gebruik te maken van database marketing. In dit rapport wordt het gebruik van Facebook geëvalueerd om dit toe te lichten, zodat de meerwaarde van een Facebookpagina voor H&M beter kan worden beoordeeld. Marketingdatabases Een marketingdatabase is een bestand waarin gegevens over klanten worden bijgehouden. Gegevens over welke producten een klant koop, waar de klant de producten koopt, wat het profiel van de klant is en of de klant belangrijk is (van Wieringen, 2007). Bij database marketing wordt gebruik gemaakt van de gegevens uit een marketingdatabase voor marketingdoeleinden. Er kan een gericht aanbod worden gedaan dan bij een klant past, doordat gebruik wordt gemaakt van een hoop verzamelde gegevens (Database Marketing, z.j.). Een voordeel is dat je een klantgericht aanbod kunt doen doordat je informatie hebt over individuele klanten. Dat brengt een ander voordeel met zich mee, namelijk dat er weinig klanten zijn die een reclameaanbod zullen weigeren. Het sluit immers aan op hun eigen smaak. In een marketingdatabase kun je ook veel gegevens van verschillende...

Bevolkingsopbouw Nederland vergrijst dat betekent dat er steeds meer 65 plusser zijn op steeds minder werkenden. De verhouding tussen jong en oud verandert. De oorzaak van de toenemende vergrijzing is gelegen in het verleden. Vlak na de tweede wereld oorlog werden in Nederland veel baby’s geboren. in de jaren zestig was de anticonceptie bil in de markt gekomen en toen werden er minder baby’s geboren. Maar ook in de jaren zeventig hebben vrouwen het krijgen van kinderen uitgesteld om eerste te gaan werken en daardoor werden de gezinnen ook kleiner. Vele kinderen die vlak na de tweede wereld oorlog geboren zijn gaan nu met pensioen. Aangezien er in de jaren zestig en zeventig minder baby’s waren geboren is er daardoor nu naar verhouding meer zestig blussers die steeds ouder worden door betere gezondheid zorg. En doordat ziektes beter te behandelen zijn leven ouderen langer. De mensen die nu werken moeten de pensioen en zorgkosten van de ouderen betalen. Dat is financieel veel zwaar gezien er meer ouderen zijn.
