Even though the launch of ChatGPT was not felt by the common public, the technical circleknew about its inauguration, and the media space was flooded with shocked reactions.Anyone can open the ChatGPT program and type in the word or phrase about something he/she wants toknow, then the ChatGPT is going to spit out a short or long essay or summary of what is being asked.Suppose a student is asked to submit a report or an essay on a

By building and placing threeor more customized RFID readers, a motorized camera system, and an interface to the Internet ina single room, any tagged object could be located in that room and visualized. The user interfacewas developed with the idea of a simplified search engine that any computer with Internet accesscould use without the need of additional software or browser plug-ins. On the secured web site,the user is presented with a 3-D (three dimensional) simulation of a given space (room/store/warehouse), and a representation of the object within this 3-D space to represent its actuallocation.IV.

For example, there is an extra on lead/lag compensators. Whenever weuse a lead or a lag in an example, there is simply a link to the appropriate subheading in thelead/lag extra (i.e. “designing a lag compensator using frequency response”). The steady-state error extra is another popular one; instead of reviewing how to compute the steady-stateerror in every example, a link is given to this extra. Other extras include plotting, convertingbetween system representations, the step response and simulation, pole/zero cancellation,notch filters, functions, and m-files.3.4 Implementation Details
