Screw terminals connecting the power supply subcomponents were found loose, potentially causing unstable voltages and currents from high-resistance connections. All screw terminals were tightened. b. Lugs used to connect the Rectifiers to the screw terminals were filled with solder instead of crimped, with broken solder joints found. The Rectifiers were replaced and new terminals were crimped to the new rectifier leads. 2. BeagleBone Black and Probotix Breakout Board a. The existing BeagleBone was found to be unresponsive and directories were empty, despite handling a SSH connection through PuTTY and WinSCP. This

advantage ofworking at room temperature.The literature review shows a fair amount of research done in both metal-dot and molecularcell QCA. An idealized QCA cell is like a box with dots or charge containers at its fourcorners2, and two extra mobile electrons in that confinement can orient themselves in thosedots creating charge configurations in a polarized cell which can be interpreted as a binary“0” and a binary “1”. Thus the binary information of “0” and “1” is stored in the bistablecharge configuration of the cell instead of the on-off states of a current switch since there isno current flowing from cell to cell. The dots or charge containers in the cell can be createdby a) electrostatically formed quantum dots in a semiconductor, or, b) small

The main one is theindustry shift to use Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) rather than custom analog circuitsfor low-number applications. This is primarily due to: a) increase in labor costs b) decrease in PLC cost c) decrease in number of personnel capable of working with electronic analog circuits d) added flexibility that results from control implementations that depend on software rather than hardware e) increased level of reproducibility that results

Another requirement is the ability toachieve multiple simultaneous connections for testing different pieces of equipment at the sametime. For these needs, in an A x B matrix, the number of rows, A, needs to be a smaller numberrepresenting the number of simultaneous connections allowed; whereas the number of columnsB, needs to be a larger number representing the number of devices that would be able to interfacewith each other.

The 4-20 mA is then converted by the signalconditioners into a 0-5 VDC signal which is fed into the DC drives. The DC drives use this speedreference signal to apply a proportional 0-24 VDC (from the power system) to the motorsthemselves. Figure 1 Block Diagram for SLIM Drive System b.
