Question 3: a) What is the main use of stepper motors? In essence, stepper motors are applied in motion-control positioning system. For instance in 3D printers, disk drives, intelligent lighting, scanners, CNC machines, printers, camera lenses, plotters and slot machines. b) What are the similarities and differences between a reluctance, a permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors? The three motors are similar in that, they all have power electronic control that comes with electronic…

are designed with multi-core processors that capable of processing over 100 billion instructions per second. The addition of more memory has also increased the speed of todays’ computers. New hard drives, that have no moving parts, are being used, resulting in faster read and write times from and to the hard drive. (Information used to answer this question was referenced from the website,…

In the next picture you can see the RAM is placed in the slot. It is positioned in with small amount of force until the clips click into to place. • In the next picture we installed in the hard drive which is positioned in vertical position, when you turn the computer on its side. • The hard drive is then connected to the motherboard which is connected to all the wires. • The power supply is then inserted inside the computer tower where we used the screws to screw it into…

When I slid the second hard drive in, I knew I had successfully built my first computer. I quickly plugged everything in, and pressed the massive power button, then my heart sunk, it didn’t turn on. I felt like I was going to vomit. I…

This essays main analysis will focus around the element of control that hypertexts possess. I’m going to be looking at how specific features of the hypertext are affected by control, and in turn, how these influence the readers/players decisions. The hypertext narrative I have chosen to analyse is a game called The Stanley Parable written by Davey Wreden. The game involves you playing as a man named Stanley who one day believes all his co-workers are gone. It is narrated by a voiceover who gives…

viruses are created by people. Someone has to write the code and test it. That someone also has to figure out the attack phase. This attack phase may come in the form of a silly message popping up on the screen, all the way to the destruction of the hard disk. But, for goodness sake, why? There are at least three good reasons why people do this. Some people do it for the thrill. It is the same kind of psychology that causes people to vandalize gravestones, start a fire, or spray graffiti. For…

When creating an Oracle database one must consider what type of performance and needs you will need to keep your Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment operating at peak instances. When an Oracle database spans across multiple instances on different servers with shared data files. When the database spans across several hardware systems but it will appear as a single combined database within the application. Real Application Cluster allows the commodity to be utilized in way that they could…
