Reflection:
One thing I found pretty interesting while comparing and contrasting the controller positions was the process in which they work together. Once the clearance delivery/flight data controller receives a filed flight plan, a piece of paper is printed out which gives a summary of what the pilot is cleared for. This piece of paper is typically passed around to the ground controller to have “controls” over the aircraft being taxied, and then passed to the local controller to show they have “controls” and the aircraft is ready to depart. When I went on a tour the Air Traffic Control tower here in Provo, they used a similar system. Except they have magnets of the local aircraft which they use to track the location of throughout KPVU. This helps them because of the high traffic of UVU’s aircraft and the flight academy. The smaller airports, such as Provo, tend to only have 1 or 2 controllers working in the tower at the same time. Because this is a smaller airport, the controllers manage to handle all 3 of these positions at once. How are they different?
Each have different roles as to what they are responsible for. This is important especially
at larger airports where there are multiple pilots calling each positions to gather their clearances. How are they alike?
These positions are alike because they all work in the ATCT environment.

a. Currently, you serve as a robotic engineer by a company, and your boss want you
to design a robot in spatial space to satisfy the following conditions:
i. Max reachable distance of the robot is 1 meter.
ii.
Only using revolute joints, connecting links and rigid load bearing links
(the length of link is 0.5m).
iii. The degree of freedom (Dof) of the robot is 2.
What is your design, how many joints and links will you use?
b. The payload of your design is 10 kg (each load bearing link can hold 5 kg, 5 kg+5
kg=10kg, the weight and payload of the connecting links will be ignored), but
your boss wants your designed robots to handle 20 kg payload. How will you
update your current design, and how many joints and links will you use in the
new design? What is the Dof of the new designed robot.

A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box.
The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens
the grip (when de-energized).
Here's a diagram of this "machine":

The system is really slow... it actually takes 3-4 seconds for the arm to fully extend. An engineer created the below diagram.

Question (finally!).
Which statement is completely true regarding this design?
It uses the Master Clock scheme.
Given this diagram, the arm will probably start to retract before the grip fully closes.
O If the arm takes 4 seconds to retract (return), the box will be dropped "mid-flight"
It uses the Domino Scheme.

You are assigned as the head of the engineering team to work on selecting the right-sized blower that will go on your new line of hybrid vehicles.The fan circulates the warm air on the inside of the windshield to stop condensation of water vapor and allow for maximum visibility during wintertime (see images). You have been provided with some info. and are asked to pick from the bottom table, the right model number(s) that will satisfy the requirement. Your car is equipped with a fan blower setting that allow you to choose between speeds 0, 1,2 and 3. Variation of the convection heat transfer coefficient is dependent upon multiple factors, including the size and the blower configuration.You can only use the following parameters:

You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 200 km traveling due north from yourorigin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port, the navigation electronics go down. The captain continues sailing, claiming he can depend on his years of experience on the water as a guide. The engineers work on the navigation system while the ship continues to sail,and winds and waves push it off course. Eventually, enough of the navigation system comes back up to tell you your location. The system tells you that your current position is 50.0 km north of the origin port and 25.0 km east of the port. The captain is a little embarrassed that his ship is sofar off course and barks an order to you to tell him immediately what heading he should set from your current position to the destination port. Give him an appropriate heading angle.

Model the following business process at a supplier. After a supplier notifies a retailer of the approval of a purchase order, the supplier can receive an order confirmation, an order change, or an order cancelation from the retailer. It may happen that no response is received at all. If no response is received after 48 h, or if an order cancelation is received, the supplier will cancel the order. If an order confirmation is received within 48 h, the supplier will process the order normally. If an order change is received within 48 h, the supplier will update the order and ask again the retailer for confirmation. The retailer is allowed to change an order at most three times. Afterwards, the supplier will automatically cancel the order.

Speed reduction, either through gearing or belt-pulley constructs, is an important element in motion system
design. Similarly, converting rotary motion to linear motion is an important consideration. Considering a
printer system driven by a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution, construct a table that shows the
relationships for:
a. Position resolution of the print head vs. angular position of the motor. This translates to addressable
print dots per mm vs. step angle.
b. Print head speed (mm/S) vs. motor speed (Steps/S with rpm also noted)
C.
Frictional load at the print head (mN) vs. reflected torque at the motor (mNM)
Mass of the print head vs. reflected inertia to the motor
d.
Use GR for Speed Reduction, r (mm) for the radius of the drive pulley, and m (grams) for print-head mass..

the same reliability. Each station is expected to
operate approximately 1000 cycles between
failures. The last 5 stations are expected to break
down about once every 600 cycles. Repair times
will vary but should average about the equivalent
of 12 cycles in duration.
