atthat frequency. The advantage of using shunt filters over the series one is that the shunt filterscarry only a fraction of the load current while the series filters carry full load current.Power factor and power factor correctionPower factor (PF) is the ratio of real (active) power used in the circuit to the total power(apparent power) supplied by a utility, also is defined as the cosine of the power factor angle (θ).The basic formula for power factor is the mathematical ratio of the real power (P) to the apparentor total power (S). The equation [2] is as follows: P PF = = cos θ SIn the

In this self-education process, the particular backgroundneeded for a particular task was acquired on an ad-hoc basis. In a rather notorious example, inthe 1980’s an astrophysicist was working as a network engineer when he stumbled across adiscrepancy in some billing records3. He then trained himself to troubleshoot this issue, andeventually to track the hackers that were at the root of the problem. Anecdotal examples

Examples of digital sensors include inductive proximitysensors, which are used to detect the presence of metals, and optical proximity sensorsthat use light to detect the presence. Analog sensors, on the other hand, output valuesover a range. Examples of these include thermocouples, which produce a small voltageproportional to temperature, and potentiometers, which provide a resistance proportionalto an angle or displacement.Example 2: Wor king with sensor s using LabVIEWObjective: Investigate popular industrial and laboratory sensors and determine theircritical specifications.

Once a candidate design (ordesigns) was (were) selected, the design engineers were responsible for creating AutoCADdrawings with appropriate assembly instructions, so team members could recreate the prototypepaper airplanes for the final flight competition. Phase Three was the final week of the programwhere final preparations were made for the actual paper airplanes to be used in the competition.Flight Competition and Contract Award On Tuesday of the third week of the program, the flight test competition was held.

However, the entrepreneurship classes are designed in such a waythat engineering students will learn basic business principles and business students willlearn the basic engineering design process.

be reconstructed from the compressed file without error. The algorithms selected forthis task utilize recent advances in wavelet theory, especially integer wavelet transforms,and coding theory to maximize the compression ratio. An uncompressed color or black-and-white image in bit map (BMP) or tagged image file format (TIFF) is transformed intoa text file consisting of a matrix of pixel values. This text file is filtered (transformed)using various integer wavelet transforms. The integer wavelet transforms are applied asmany times as needed. This process reduces the redundancy of the original picture asmuch as possible. The integer wavelet transforms such as (1,1), (2,2), (2,4), (2+2,2),(3,1), (4,2), (4,4), (6,2), 9-7, D4, S+P are used in the
