no unsatisfactory ratings were noted. Non-sampled outcomes: As in previous semesters, the students successfully applied mathematics to solve engineering problems in a variety of ways this semester (notably in the characterization of IR sensors, the application of y=Ax+B correction factors to sampled sensor data and the linearization through fuzzy logic of highly non-linear input data. Lectures: The lectures are in great shape, and coincide quite well with the labs. The Cady text is still a great choice and I recommend using it next year along with the Freescale User’s and Reference manuals. I added a second midterm this semester to cover C programming and the various I/O modules and functions such as SCI, PWM, etc. (basically

Information aboutthe strength and time of each impact is displayed on a map.Problem StatementThe economy of the world is currently in a state of change. Demands are rapidly increasing aspreviously third-world countries develop into sizeable economies. To take advantage of newmarkets, manufacturers must learn to cheaply manufacture a product at point A and ship it topoint B. Companies must explore alternative methods of improving efficiency to remaincompetitive in the world market. Although people have transported goods for thousands ofyears, there are still areas
also observed when the students were testing their projects prior tothe competition.This project also highlights several problems and successes the students had with the project.Properly biasing the line sensors proved to be the most difficult part of the project. Readingdatasheets provided an additional challenge. There were several positive outcomes, includingthe use of lab notebooks to review topics from previous labs as well as trouble shootingexperiences.Every group successfully completed the “brawn” part the robot project and competed in achallenge (See Appendix B). The students expressed a positive experience on this project eventhough it required numerous hours of work outside of the allotted class time

Acquisition and Analysis in the ClassroomAbstractPulse oximetry is an essential health-monitoring technique in both clinical and home careenvironments. From an engineering education perspective, pulse oximeter technology offersexcellent study material in areas such as light-based sensor construction, embedded systemdesign, control theory, and digital signal processing. However, off-the-shelf pulse oximeters donot provide suitable educational platforms for several reasons: (a) their design layouts andinternal data flows are inaccessible to the user, (b) units that display photo-plethysmographic/pulse waveforms or make those signals available to the user provide data that have already beenfiltered in an unspecified manner, and (c) sensor sites are

The fault is subsequently cleared by opening circuit breakers locatedat the ends of lines 1–3 and 2–3. The faulted network is depicted in Figure 3(a). To compute theelectrical power 2 delivered by the generator during the fault, it is convenient to find theThévenin equivalent of the faulted network (see Figure 3(b)), as viewed from the generatorinternal voltage source.

section.3 Negative Impedance Converter (NIC)3.1 TheoryConsider the circuit shown in Fig. 7. Page 15.27.5 Figure 7: The NIC, the op-amp used in simulation is the LMC6482. We will derive the i − v characteristic of the circuit above as seen from terminals a-b. Thei − v graph can be derived by considering the three operating regions of the op-amp, just likethe case of the positive and negative feedback op-amp circuits. Refer to Appendix B for thederivation. A plot of the i − v graph, with the following component values: R1 = 1kΩ, R2 =1kΩ, R3 = 1kΩ,Vsat = 5 V , is shown in Fig. 8 Figure 8: Plot of the Negative Impedance

In the screenshotbelow (Fig. 2), a six-router network is illustrated, with the routing tables shown at each router ashort time after the link from router B to E has broken down. Currently there is a routing looparound routers A, B and C: any packet being sent to destination network f will be passed aroundbetween these routers until the packet times out, despite the existence of a perfectly valid path tothe destination.

For instance,consider crossConnect(DS_UART0, DS_UART0). This connection is a Loopback connection,and the transmitting node is sending data through its UART0 and the receiving node is gettingthe data through its UART0. The same Loopback can be also available when one connects nodesusing crossConnect(DS_TRANSPARENT, DS_TRANSPARENT).
