current transitions are manuallycontrolled on eight separate battery chargers bya battery-charging technician. A typical batterycharge lasts between approximately eight and Figure 1. Interior of Charging Unitsixteen hours under expected load. The processrequires close monitoring to maintain the appropriate current and voltage levels applied to thebatteries. This process introduces human error to the charging algorithm for the LSV2’s batterybank. Once implemented, the proposed design will reduce the variations encountered using thepresent method. This will help to extend the lifecycle of the VRLA batteries used in the LSV2 aswell as provide the maximum amount of stored charge for the performance of each test run.Criteria for

In recent years, it has been widelyacknowledged that classes designed by utilizing PBL Project - Based Learning are effective inenhancing the problem-solving ability of university students. [1] First coming to prominence inthe 1990’s, effectively structured project-based learning exercises provide a framework in whichstudents are required to draw on their prior coursework to develop solutions for “real world”problems. In a project based learning environment the learners are “actively engaged in workingat tasks and activities which are authentic to the environment in which they would be used” witha focus on “learners as constructors of their

great scenarios were presented(kidnappings, etc.). For homework, each student individually was then assigned to seriously re-search what technology would be needed, develop cost estimates, and describe how (s)he wouldallocate the resources, and why. With rare exception, these reports were exceedingly well done.A few students weighed morality as an important consideration (e.g., addicted son gets the least).A Socratic discussion of critical care technology was interspersed with an explanation of bio-potentials (EKG, EMG, EEG), their sources and their clinical value. A lecture on the basis ofand use of life-support and/or rehabilitation technology in end-of-life situations followed. Thisthen led to a presentation on three seminal legal cases

If this command is not sent, the MP2000 will unlock its keyboard continuously forapproximately 30 seconds.In addition, the Visual Basic program is required to send an update packet every 300milliseconds. This packet is sent in the format: obj1value + obj2value + Sp byte + verify byte +0x0d. The Verify Byte is a result of byte calculation of the bytes before the Verify Byte. In thiscase, these bytes consist of obj1value, obj2value and Sp byte. In order to calculate the value ofthe Verify Byte, the sum of the previous bytes is found. Then, the 2’s Complement Rule isapplied to the sum of the bytes which is then passed through a modulus of 128. The formulacalculates the correct value for the Verify Byte which is used by the MP2000
