activates the timer on delay T4:2. This allows energizing solenoid valve B inrung 5 and retracting the actuator arm to its original position.In rung 6, the normally open input done bit T4:2/DN is connected to an output reset T4:0. Aftertime elapsed two seconds in timer on delay T4:2, the reset re-energizes the input T4:0/EN inrung 0, in order to restart the conveyor belt.In rung 7, the normally open input I:1/1 is connected to a counter up C5:1 with a preset of 1000parts. Every time a part breaks the light beam of the photoelectric sensor the counter counts upuntil the number reaches 1000, which indicate the storage area is full.Figure 3 shows the sequence of pulses applied to conveyor’s motor and double solenoid valve Aand B.

Average course grade for all 21 students was ‘B+’ and two out of three students who tookthe course at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one received an A in this course. An averagegrade of third project (fabrication, tests, and functionality) for all 21 students was ‘B+’, and twoout of three students at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one student received an ‘A’. Therefore,it can be inferred that the students at the remote location (taught under Synchronous DistanceDelivery) learned the course topics similar to students in the live classroom and were able toapply the gained knowledge to design and fabricate functional

A graph called Tanner graph (factor graphs can beunderstood as advanced graphs based on Tanner graph) is shown in Figure 1-(a) and thecorresponding H matrix is shown in Figure 1-(b). In Figure 1-(a), there are three check nodes and5 variable nodes. Hence, the graph can be expressed by the 3×5 H matrix shown in Figure 1-(b).In addition, the first check node in Figure 1-(a) is connected to the 1st, 2nd, and 5th variable nodes,which means there are 1’s in the 1st, 2nd, and 5th columns of the first row of the H matrix shownin Figure 1
