Are they really caption machines, or really well-trained stenographers? Like in an NFL or FIFA or other live broadcast. I took it that they might have been caption machines with highly advanced grammar compilers, but looking around, I guess they can just as well be very fast...

Hello everyone, I am working on a very low cost, small and basic vending machine ($300) with wooden cabinet for small neighborhood stores. As you may know, it is necessary to properly protect the components to prevent users from trying to steal money or damage the components. The PCB has a TFT...

I have tried solving this question, but I am not even sure where to start from and how to specify a state space for this question where it has a trick stating that a worker works overnight. However, for part a, is it the case that there are only 2 states to consider which are: {machine working...

Hello guys, I am supplying a Venturi Vac to my clients which is installed directly on their CNC Machine Coolant Pumps (photo attached). This is done by introducing a Tee connection on the discharge end of the pump as shown. The straight line of the tee is connected to the hydraulic coolant...

The question I'm in doubt about is The motor coil has a resistance of 10 Ω and is powered by a voltage of 120 V. When the motor is operating at rated speed, its emf is 70 V. Thus, it is questioned: a) What is the coil current when the motor is started? b) What is the coil current at rated...

This might sound like a stupid question... Was installing something in my computer last night, gpu was stuck so I pulled with too much force, it just suffered a small chip on the PCB and is now dead. Made me think, humans/animals can lose limbs, organs, even half their brains, and still live...

I have been studying the representation of generators in power flow studies and I would appreciate your comments in this thread. From the book Fitzgerald & Kingsley's Electric Machinery, I understand that there are unsaturated and saturated reactances. In section 5.3.2 of the book it is said...

I couldn't do it

Is our home equipment and many other consumer's device usually designed to endure dust, debris, dirt or anything (even virus or bacteria) from the environment which is hard to avoid? What is the field of engineering or science that studies such issue?

I started reading "Feyman Lectures on physics" and stuck on his explanation about reversible and irreversible machines. I've tried to read other answers to this question, but I couldn't get the point. Here is the first thing: "If, when we have lifted and lowered a lot of weights and restored...

Hey! :o I am looking at the following problem: There are $k$ couples and the host and the hostess. (So, in total $k+1$ couples.) At the general greeting some people shake hands, others do not. Of course, nobody shakes hands with themselves or their spouse. The host asks everyone else in the...

I had a conversation with someone once upon a time (it was quite a while back actually), and we came to the question of whether or not Turing machines could ever understand infinity. We agreed that we as humans are intimate with the extant and divisible infinities mainly through our...

Does anybody have any references where Einstein speaks about Time Machines? From collected sources I found, he strongly rejected the idea of Time Machine but through his theory implied that time travel may be possible if wormholes existed. Something needs to be infinitely fast to do this? Have...

Hi, using the definition of a TM from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_beaver a 1-state TM would have: one "operational" state a, plus the Halt State h a tape alphabet of 0,1 a tape initially all zeros Given this the possible 5-tuples a 1-state TM transition table could have are: (current...

There are two types of finite state machines (at least that I know about), mealy and Moore. What are the practical differences between them. I understand that mealy machines take the input into account for the output logic, but are the two machines used for different purposes? Or can the same...

Homework Statement Homework Equations Trying to find the reaction forces at E. But, I am kinda confused about drawing the free body diagram for each member. I know that member AD and CB are two force members. What is wrong with my free body diagram then? The Attempt at a Solution i...

Greetings, I have begun reading the Feynman Lectures to repeat the most important ideas from my undergraduate studies and to improve my intuitive understanding of physics. In one of the first chapters, the one about the conservation of energy, he demonstrates that the conservation of energy is...

In an attempt to try and decide my future career in computers I have come across the topic of machines taking our jobs. What will happen when society reaches the point at which a machine can do even highly skilled jobs that require years of college education and creativity? The typical...

The Nobel prize in chemistry for 2016 has been awarded "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines." These are fascinating constructions made up of just a few molecules, so they are the smallest machines possible. It is far from trivial to get these things working, especially since...

Hi everyone, I did a search and couldn't find any useful information on frames and machines for statics (unless I missed it for which I apologize if I did) Does anyone have a few steps that they follow when setting up a FBD of a frame/machine. I'm having trouble being able to efficiently set up...

During the operation of a lathe, why does the work-piece revolve anticlockwise as seen from the tailstock?

The washing machine stopped spinning, so I dismantled it. Here's what I found: I'm thinking it might have become a big battery, as the steel drive shaft was embedded in the alloy drive bracket, which in turn had 6 studs bolting it to the stainless steel drum. It was all enclosed in the sealed...
