regulators now include very low dropout voltage, low quiescent currents, power shutdown control, and large input voltage range. A wide variety of these regulators are available in both linear and switch-mode. Some provide extra features such as low battery voltage detector and indication. Some new high precision analog to digital converters require low power supply current during normal operation,and can be shut down to consume extremely low power when not in use. They require a minimum amount of setup timeand are easily interfaced to the microcontroller via fast standard serial data communication. Internal auto-calibrationpermits full offset and span correction by the microcontroller. Additional features may include multiple channels

Society for Engineering Education, 2009 EXPORTING AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATIONAbstractA variety of circumstances has led to a decrease in the number of foreign studentsenrolling in American universities, leading to disruption of previous benefits to USuniversities and to US influence abroad. American universities have responded bydeveloping educational offerings in foreign countries, in a variety of formats. While thereare many issues to be dealt with in such foreign offerings, there are significant benefits toboth the US universities involved and to the foreign countries involved.IntroductionFor many decades prior to 9/11, higher education institutions in the United Statesattracted large numbers of foreign students, particularly at the

The system consists of theplant, the sensor, the comparator, the Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) controllers, and thedisturbance. The plant is a motor-driven fan and the output variable is the fan speed. The fanspeed is monitored with a frequency counter. The system can be operated in an open-loop modeallowing students to measure the transfer function of the subsystems. The integral and differentialcontrollers, as well as the disturbance, can be switched in or out of system. All control systemcharacteristics can be observed and demonstrated.
