How much is the magic button worth on an off-road bike? According to Yamaha, adding the electric start and updating the WR line to match current YZ styling and bodywork in 2003 doubled the number of units sold! For the record, we aren't talking about bikes that are hard to kickstart--both models kickstart easily and reliably--but even die-hard racers admit that having the button is very nice. And electric starting is not the only nice feature on the WRs. They present a lot to like. When we te...
The purpose of this project is to design and implement a 3-channel data acquisition (DAQ) system using a HCS12 target board. The main emphasis in this project is to present a student's understanding of the various features of the MC9S12E128 microcontroller and demonstrate skills in using C programming Language to program the microprocessor. The PK-HCS12E128 uses both the Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE and the SofTec Microsystems software. The microcontroller is programmed to display the user inte...
In this report, there are 2 experiment which are about 'Audio Compression Using Down sampling and Quantization' and 'Image Compression Using JPEG'The aim of the experiment is understand how audio compression and image compression is done using different method and which is more effective. A few of the major findings are, for the audio compression, sampling and quantization determines the quality of the compressed audio.For image compression, DCT and quantization determines the compression rat...
1.1 Introduction Expansion joints are used in bridges to allow movements like expansion and contraction between the bridge deck spans and abutments. These movements are caused due to temperature, soil settlements, vehicle acceleration and other reasons (Klaiber, et al., 1987 and Dagher, et al., 1993 as cited in Thippeswamy, 2002). Expansion joints are subjected to severe loading due to the direct impact of the wheels. They are a very important component of a bridge structure and if carefully ...
Who is Executive Holloware? Executive Holloware Ltd is a well established company which specialises in silverware; eventually becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers aiming their products at the top end of the market with top end prices which people were willing to pay.

Abstract-The present essay is a tutorial on the OMNeT++ simulation environment, through the analysis of the known ALOHA protocol. The model implements the ALOHA random access protocol on the Link layer, and simulates a host to server instant broadcast. ALOHA is rather simple yet convenient to demonstrate the potential of OMNeT++ in simulating wireless protocols. The final part evaluates the pure and the slotted ALOHA variations, in regard to the theoretical models. Introduction OMNeT++ is a d...
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Total Quality Management In the present's world due to insufficient quality or indifference to quality lead to disputes, this imposes serious drain on the financial resources of a company and limits profit potential. And to be standing in competition of today's market, it is essential for organization to provide more consistent quality and value to their customers. It is high time to develop better and more direct relationships with customers. Total Quality Management (TQM...
Introduction Objectives The Pre-Construction Information provides the health and safety focus for the design and construction phase of a project. It sets out to ensure that the design and construction of the works are affected in a safe way that complies with current health and safety legislation, in particular the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and associated Approved Code of Practice. This information is included as part of the documentation issued...
Investigation Of Pillar Thickness Variation Effect On Oblique Rotating Implantation (ORI)-Based Vertical Double Gate MOSFET Introduction Recent development of integrated circuit reveals that several fabrication aspects are already approaching the limit, especially when the dimensions are of nanometer scale . Furthermore, the complexity of lithography for nanoscale technology poses major technological challenge and skyrocketing manufacturing investment. In dealing with this issue, some innovat...
Smart materials are materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields. Piezoelectric: Piezoelectric materials are materials that produce a voltage when stress is applied. Since this effect also applies in the reverse manner, a voltage across the sample will produce stress within the sample. Suitably designed structures made from these materials can the...
