Variable Loops

Hi everybody of the internet,
I have made a third item of progression with variable functions. This will allow me to repeat a step by step process by a limited amount of loops for future projects.

Here are my variable functions:

Aren't they amazing! This is much more advanced than my previous basic programings a couple of blogs ago.

Here are some conclusion questions and answers:

1. Describe how you might modify the Plus command so that it can reset a variable block to 0 within a program.

You might modify the Plus command so that the variable block would reset to zero by changing the Plus command to a Minus command, and change the variable so that the variable would deplete to 0 once the variable reaches the minus step.

2. What might an industrial or manufacturing engineering need to count or keep track of? Describe one example.

Something that the industrial or manufacturing engineering needs to keep track of is the amount of products produced in the end and during the process. Variable loops are necessary to keep track of product amount without having the need to count each seperate product.

Branch Functions

Hi everybody!
I have expanded on my basic programing to include branching in the functions with analog and digital branches. Here are my pictures of my new programs with branches.

I hoped that you have enjoyed them!
Here are my conclusion questions and answers:

1. Describe why it is important to include branches in programs.

It is important to include branches in programs because it can let computers know when to turn somethiung on or off, tell what is right and wrong, or just tell the computer to do either one thing under a certain condition and the other thing under a certain condition opposite to the first.

2. Describe an everyday application of a normally open switch that has not been given as an example.

An everyday application of a normally open switch that has yet been given as an example is a television or lamp.

3. Describe an everyday application of a normally closed switch that has not been given as an example.

An everyday application of a normally closed switch that has yet been given as an example is a water heater or a cable box.

Basic Programing

Hi everybody,
I have just started with basic programing, its rather fun creating the one way programing circuit.
Anyway, here is my basic curcuit with basic programing.

Isn't it something!
Here are my conclusion questions:

1. What is the best way to make sure that all of your devices are in the same correct ports of the interface and have been wired correctly.?

I believe that the best way to make sure that all of my devices are in the same correct ports of the interface and have been wired correctly is to test the program and to note any abnormalities that may come out of it.

2. Explain the importance of labeling block functions within a flowchart.

The importance of labeling block functions within a flowchart is to keep track of what is happening within the program in order to avoid confusion and possible misunderstandings.

Flowcharting

Hello everybody,
It's been a while since the last blog post, but here is the latest but not greatest one yet. I have completed a few flowcharts. Flowcharts are a type of planning process that engineers use to think though and solve a problem they have on their hands.
Here are my few flowcharts.

Here are some questions and answers about flowcharting:

1. How is flowcharting similar to using a map to plan a route for a trip?

Flowcharting is similar to using a map to plan a route for a trip because you must plan on what path to take on the map in order to get to the destination, and you also have to plan for a way to return to the start from the end like a flowchart.

2. Describe a process that you perform every day. Develop a flowchart that illustrates the process

A proccess that I preform everyday is choosing what to wear when getting ready for school

Here is the flowchart

The Smartest Machine on Earth

Hi there everyone,
I watched a video earlier about a robot that people claim to be the smartest robot made so far with a good amount of artificial intelligence. The robot was then placed on Jeopardy to test the AI of the robot to the limit against Jeopardy's biggest winners to see who would win.


What is "machine learning"?

Machine learning is I think the ability for a machine to gather all known data about a question that it is confronted with, and if it makes a mistake then it will log it into memory for future questions that are similar to the previous (mistake) question.


How did the IBM team employ that concept in the development of Watson's AI? What advantage did that provide over previous attempts at "intelligence"?


The IBM team employed that concept in the development of Watson's AI by making it go through practice runs of Jeopardy, and giving it access to a vast list of data within the memory banks. The advantage that Watson's intelligence had over previous attempts at "intelligence" was that original intelligence like chess had set rules and possible reactions while Watson's intelligence involved previous knowledge combined with knowledge learned by mistakes and new experiences. 

I've often mentioned the term "Empirical Scepticism". What does that mean? How does that relate to the concept of Machine Learning? How does this relate to your life?


Empirical Scepticism means questioning the basis of scientific understanding or testing science that we know to see if it fits the Scientific Method or not. Empirical Scepticism relates to the concept of Machine Learning by having us question to see if Machine Learning is possible despite claims from society about the possibility of failure. Empirical Scepticism relates to my life because I like to question things that I see and experience in life to see if it is truly fits in science and truth or to see if it's a pseudoscience or just made up.

The Car of the Future

Hello everybody,
I just watched a video that talked about the car of the future! Isn't that something?! If would want a car of the future, I would get one that is durable, gets good gas mileage, has a huge gas tank, and has a strong engine.


So what is the car of the future? In other words, what appears to be the most promising technology explored by Click and Clack? Justify your response.

The car of the future is one that appears to be the most promising technology explored by Click and Clack is a car that is powered by hydrogen because not only will it power the car, but burning hydrogen will not harm the environment since the exhaust from the car would be water vapor instead of carbon dioxide from petroleum.


What fields of study/work would support the development of the car of the future. Describe two different ones.


The fields of study/work that would support the development of the car of the future are the study of hydrogen as a source of fuel and engineering by creating more efficient car engines. By studying hydrogen in relation to car fuel or as I like to call it "hydrology with cars" you would be able to create a fuel from the explosive element that is environmentally friendly and economically valuable. By doing engineering in relation to car engines you could learn about how an engine works, and will be able to find ways to get more use out of it.

Engineering Ground Zero

Hello people of the Internet,
In New York City, there is a new world trade center that is being built upon at Ground Zero. The tower being built is going to be more stable and supportive than it was before when it was first built.

What different "trades" (types of construction work) are featured in this video? Name at least three.
The types of "trade" that are featured in this video are:

• Architecture trade
• Electrical trade
• Concrete trade
• Plumbing trade
• Steel trade

What aspect of the project is most interesting to you? Why is that?

The aspect of the project that is the most interesting to me is that the construction workers are building inward then outward with a stable base and middle on the inside. The reason is that the workers are making the building as safe as humanly possible in order to prevent another act of possible terrorism from succeeding again, and that they are now using the strongest tools to build it like concrete and steel.
