...SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING YEAR 3 MECHATRONICS ASSIGNMENT LAB REPORT Reading an Analogue Voltage from a Potentiometer to turn a Motor on and off with reading of 40 Assignment 2 Owais Jahanzeb BENG Mechanical Engineering with buissness Lecturer: Dr. Tom Shenton Aim & Objectives The aim of this lab is to develop a functioning program for the PICDEM board to read an analogue signal from a potentiometer and turning a motor on or off if the signal exceeds a certain limit. The program should depict the function that it should turn the motor ON and OFF if the potentiometer reading is less than or equal to 40. The practical uses of such program can be seen in automotive , injection moulding machines, wood processing machines, modern temperature controlled plants, speed control torque operations. Developing Program 1 Figure 1. The schematic circuit & PICDEM board configuration for Program Figure 1. The schematic circuit & PICDEM board configuration for Program The objective of program is to read the correspondent voltage analogous to the potentiometer position and switch the motor on if the reading is over 40 and switch it off if the reading is less than or equal to 40, the value can be adjusted by twisting the screw clockwise and anticlockwise. The program works by implementing the following code. PIC program for Test of potentiometer with value less equal to 40 with comments: include <p16f917.inc> extern DisplayDigit1, DisplayDigit2...

...‘opera house’. The smoke is said to have ‘overshadowed’ the harbor, turning day into night. It then goes on to saying climate change is not only worsening in Australia, but also affecting throughout the world. Personal Reaction: Firstly, I found the topic intriguing. The fact that huge, dark clouds had turned day into night, was somewhat sort of exciting. However, as I kept on reading, the reality of it kicked in. Climate change is in issue which we all are facing, and this is just one of the many effects of climate change. I am worried about what will happen next, if something is not done immediately.

...Italian country men, Othello. Othello just got a military promotion that Iago felt he deserved or at least wanted. Recently Othello just secretly married a senator’s daughter, so the man and Iago are plotting on how to get him in trouble for this. It starts to make the reader wonder is Iago evil. It turns out throughout the rest of the story he makes everybody turn on their own friends and loved ones, to the point they kill each other, even convincing Othello to kill his new wife. So it makes me come to the conclusion Iago is most definitely evil, not only that he is knifing, and very persuasive. This is how evil he is, Othello gave his new wife this handkerchief, and it is supposed to be their handkerchief of love. Iago uses this sacred madrigal token, to turn Othello against his wife. By planting it in one of Othello’s friend’s quarters. Once Iago persuades Othello to go in the other mans quarters he sees it and becomes very angry, and jealous thinking the two have slept together. Iago convinces Othello he must kill his own wife for cheating on him. So eventually Othello does the deed and kills his own wife. This scene shows exactly how evil Iago is, he has enough evil in his heart to turn a lover against another. Just because he felt he was wronged for not getting the military promotion. Another example of how evil Iago is, when his own wife found out what he did to Othello and his wife, she was about to tell everyone and expose Iago as the evil traitor he was,but once she got...

...Biology 121 Spring 2015 Homework #3 Name: If this assignment is turned in Friday 3/20, you may make corrections. You can still turn it in on Monday 3/23, but then you will not be able to make corrections (and that is your next exam). Corrections can only be made on questions you have attempted to answer. This assignment is to be done ON YOUR OWN. It will count as 0.5% of your course grade. Read the article at the following link: http://www.nature.com/news/hacked-photosynthesis-could-boost-crop-yields-1.15949 Note: Nature is the one of two or three premier journals in science (only the most important work gets published in it), but their news section is highly readable. 1. What is the title of the news article? 2. Why is boosting crop yields necessary? 3. What enzyme did the researchers target and what does the enzyme do? 4. Why do plants have so much of this enzyme? 5. The Cornell researchers took this enzyme from another source to put into what crop plant? What source did they take the enzyme from? 6. In what way is the substitute enzyme more wasteful than the original enzyme? 7. What is it called when Rubisco uses O2 instead of CO2, and why is this a problem? (The answer to this second question is not in the article, you should know this from the snow day class.) 8. How do the bacteria that normally use this enzyme compensate for its wastefulness? 9. Would you eat a (let’s say tomato) that contained...

...uncommon lover I have never seen someone boil your parts in milk like Grandma does. She brings you to life on the churches day, undressing your parts at the break of dawn and adding cheese and milk to plump your skin. I scurry out of bed to witness the art show. Accent, salt, Adobo, you beautiful beast! I watch her turn, and turn, and turn, and turn you on your side, some would call you the color of citrus but to me you are love in its purest shade. My very own Picasso finds herself half way through her masterpiece, dumping parmesan unapologetically all over you, and in the blazing vessel you enter. I can’t help but to take a peak, eyes bulging and mouth salivating. I open the door and see your cheddar bubbling And parmesan browning. I LOVE YOU! You will soon be in my belly and the thought alone excites me. Grandma: “SHUT THAT!” Oh no! I’ve been caught observing your metamorphosis from Prince to King. 20 Minutes 10 Minutes 5 Minutes Ding! The time has come for our marriage, When beauty meets its depowering, beast. I swing open the door to the blazed dungeon and smile at my Romeo: Golden brown surface, bubbling cheese avenues between plump, soft noodles. I summon my miniature pitchfork and begin to destroy you. Stabbing your organs and consuming them shamelessly, my mouth is enflamed but I can’t stop. Stab, eat, repeat. Stab, eat, repeat. My mouth is numb. I awaken abruptly in a pool of perspiration to none other...

...objective. Abruptly, everything turned red.i began to frenzy, thinking my nose had truly arrived at its severing point and possibly fallen. At that point, I understood that my blood couldn't in any way, shape or form be weighing me down this much… and what was that shouting in my ear? An alternate wave of red pushed me downwards, and after that I was suffocating in it; it was all over the place. I felt myself being lifted upwards, and in my fringe vision I saw a face rise up out of the ocean of red. I felt praises, and some more red encompassed me in a goliath giant squeeze. Just when a whistle blew twice out yonder did I understand that we won… we won! I rode the wave of red to my red mentor, and my colleagues set me down and I felt my face turn hot and red with satisfaction – I did it! I had scored for my group… my nation… and my drowsy self-smiled comprehensively at the...

...understanding that stress is entirely a function of how we interpret events. We, as individuals, have the power to determine to what extent we will experience stress, or whether we will experience it at all. The next time you feel like pulling your hair out, take a time-out and try one of these simple, yet effective ways to reduce stress and renew your energy on a daily basis: 1. Start the day out right. Most of us get so caught up in our fast-paced lives that we forget to take time out for ourselves. Combat natural stresses inherent in this lifestyle by creating a ritual that makes you focus on what you want instead of what you fear—a ritual referred to as your Hour of Power. Keep your shoes by your bed and hit the ground moving to turn on your body and mind each morning. Start with some deep breathing, followed by a brisk walk to release the stress your body has built up. As you move, consciously cultivate the emotions in prayer that will give you an extraordinary life: gratitude, excitement about your future, or even compassion for those who may not be supporting you. Make your Hour of Power a priority as it will automatically set a positive, energetic tone for the day ahead! 2. Change your posture to improve your mood. This may sound simple, but it works. At any given time, our physiology dictates our psychology. Think about the ways in which your body conveys a bad mood: your feet drag, your head hangs, your shoulders hunch forward, and...

...his hours and which inevitably is the most common form of stealing I think in the work place. He also copied some of the software that A&A used in their auditing and consulting for his own benefit. Jack is consulting his own personal clients at A&A’s expense. Carla uses the office phones for personal long-distance calls and also used the copying machine for her church’s benefit. 2. Imagine that you are Carla. Discuss your options and what the consequences of each option might be. b. Carla can either keep to herself about what she knows about Jack, or turn him in and risk getting in trouble herself. If she keeps to herself then Carla gambles on Jack keeping his secret. If Jack gets caught, he might go down swinging and take Carla with him. He knows some dirt on her and might use that to his advantage. Since Carla previously knew about Jack’s behavior, the company might take action against her. If Carla turns Jack in, then Jack will probably reveal some of Carla’s poor decisions. She is guilty of stealing, but has a better chance of keeping her job than Jack. I believe her best decision is to go ahead and tell management about both of their situations and keep a clear conscious. 3. Imagine that you are Jack. Discuss your options and what the consequences of each option might be. c. Jack can either keep stealing from the company, work out a deal with Carla, or tell on himself. If he keeps stealing from the company, Jack risks being caught from other employees...

...Turn-taking in Conversations: Overlaps and Interruptions - Recorded Conversation Analysis - Introduction Turn-taking behavior and interaction patterns play a key role in the process through which the participants interpret each-other's meanings and interactions. The study of "rules" of conversational behavior, turn-taking, overlapping of turns, pausing between the turns, etc. was pioneered by Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson (1974). Interruption, according to West and Zimmerman, disrupts a current speaker - although disruption as such can also be regarded as interaction. Drummond claims that the disruptive potential of a turn can and should be evaluated based on the way the overlap was resolved in the interaction. Lerner (1989) observes that there are interruptions which can be justified in the ongoing interaction based on the sequential context of turns that lead to interruptive turns. He calls these justified interruptions. There are also "delayed completions", which represent a device for resolving overlap; a locator producing them might have been 'interrupted' by a current speaker before reaching the end of a (prior) turn - this gives the locutor the status of an interuptee, and thus the interuptee gains the "right" to complete his or her previous turn by interrupting the current speaker. In defining overlaps, the following qualify as important concepts: 1. Transition Relevant Places (TRPs) - they are a natural place for the occurrence of short overlaps or simultaneous...

...so that the tomato plants will bear more tomatoes than in the summers past. In conclusion the plants grew more tomatoes once the old soil was replaced with new soil. As you can see in the graph below after doing this experiment my hypothesis was supported and my predictions were correct that with new fresh soil the plants would grow a lot more tomatoes. For my second experiment using scientific method with an everyday life situation I observed that everyday the TV in my kids’ room turns off on its own. I started to question if my kids were turning the TV off without me knowing or if the TV was starting to go bad or lastly if there was a problem with the outlet I have it plugged into. I began to start my hypothesis wondering if I needed to replace the TV or if I needed to have my landlord test the outlets electrical strength. I decided to check the electrical outlet first by plugging the TV into a different outlet for the day to see if it would turn off or stay on as long as I didn’t turn it off myself. Taking all this into consideration I predicted that the TV was...

...Andrew Breault Mrs. Pennycuff Personal Statement Essay (Rough Draft) 30 August 2012 “Should I run?” “Yeah, get the hell out of here!” One spring night in March of 2010 I made the worst mistake of my life that turned out to be one of the biggest turning points in my short lived existence on this earth. During my life there have always been lessons, achievements, and faults. What is interesting about those three aspects is that you have to have all three of them in order to have the others. One cannot learn a truly valuable lesson without a previous fault; therefore you cannot achieve and accomplish goals without the knowledge gained from the lessons learned. Learning lessons and values is the key to understanding who you are, and what you are going to do. Yes, learning is great, but it is what you do with that knowledge that in fact defines the person. The lessons I learned from this event are always with me, they have made an indescribable impact in the person I have to grown to be today. This is the incident that changed my life and gave me the greatest wakeup call I have ever known. BMW manufactured a sport crossover called the X5. The X5 has a powerful engine and has remarkable handling. My father had always driven SUVs’ and wanted to try something new so he acquired a 2008 BMW X5. On this spring night I decided to try out the speed of the car. There is a street called West Parkway, which is approximately three quarters of a mile. This street is long and straight...

Personally, especially this time of year I think the heat could be turned up a little bit more! I have a hard time believing it is the "most urgent possible disaster that could hit us" any time soon and that we need to give our full attention to it. I watched all about it on History channel this last weekend and even the clips and photo's that they show do not convince me that it is the #1 concern that society and the world should have. I personally believe that it is just "big business." And those who are capitalizing on it...know it!
