This report presents the implementation of a Clock element and the use of the seven segment display on the Altera DE2-115 board. This experimentation with the clock and display are valuable since they are a precursor to future labs to come. In order to make these items work it required the use or Verilog code, which was given for parts 1, 2, and 3. In Part 1, the user was presented with code that enables use of the internal clock on the DE2-115(Appendix A-1). After compiling the user was to find a value for X would allow LEDR[0] on the DE2 to blink. In order to store a larger value for the count X their is a need to increase the count bit size from [17:0] to something large enough to store a number larger than 262,193. After adjusting the size from 50 to 5,000, a pattern begins to emerge. The larger the value the further you move down the rows of LEDs’ closer to LEDR[0]. The value for X turned out to be approximately 1.3 million. In addition to the physical implantation, their was also a simulation created to show what happens when the clock reaches a particular value(Appendix A-2). This presented the outcome of LEDs’ blinking on the DE2-115 board. …show more content…
The task was to four switches on the DE2-115 to display a full set of possible digits. The code was given again, with a modular approach, as seen in Listing 2. The first piece was making it possible for each digit to be displayed by using a module called hex7seg(Appendix B-1). The main module called upon the hex7seg module and passed along the input switches and what to output to(see Appendix B-2). The outcome of this part was expected, the controlling of the seven segment
Because it is a way of knowing the pressure that the blood is putting on the walls of arteries and veins.
Okay, if our lithium weight is going to be 6.941 g/moL Then that means we have to take 24.6g of Lithium and multiply it by 1 mol of Lithium over 6.941 g of Lithium. This would equal to be 3.544 mol of Lithium. Then we have to take that 3.544 and multiply it by 1 mol of hydrogen gas over 2 mol of lithium. Which would then equal into 1.772 mol of hydrogen gas. We can then figure out that 1.772 is our “n”. The “T” is our 301 Kelvin, the “P” is our 1.01 atm and the “R” is our 0.0820 which would be the L atm over mol k. And we can’t forget about our “V” which would be V equals nRT over P which equals 1.772 mol divided by 0.0820 L atm over mol kelvin multiplied by 301 kelvin over 1.01 atm which equals to our final answer of: 43.33 of H2
This code actually proved vital to the success of the Allied efforts in World War II. Because the Code Talkers performed their duty expertly and efficiently, the Marines could count on both the ...
In the process of this experiment, there were a total of two bilingual aphasics and eight monolingual aphasics who were tested through nine different EF test batteries to measure their level of EF which includes behavioural inhibition (response inhibition & interference control), working memory, planning/problem solving and reconstitution. The nine EF test batteries consists of the Stroop Color Word Test, Trail Making Test, Self-Ordered Pointing Test, Complex Figures, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Tower of London, Raven’s Progressive Matrices, Five Point Test and Design Fluency. The main focus of the experimentation was to test these 10 different individuals through conversation to investigate their EF profiles. To attain these results, each
For the most part, the probability matrix for $P^2$ is the same as the probability matrix for $B^2$; however, there is one important distinction to be made. Which is that while $B^2[5,0] = \frac{1}{3}$ in the quantum simulation $P^2[5,0] = 0$. On a mathematical basis, this is trivially written as
Obesity a risk factor in which excess body fat accumulates and can have negative effects on your health. Here we identify how the hormone insulin reacts in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and its role on adipogenesis. Adipogenesis is the development of fat cells from pre adipocytes. Insulin is an important factor in the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre adipocytes to mature adipocytes. Oil Red O (ORO) is used to demonstrate the presence of lipids in each different treatment. A spectrophotometer is used to get the optical density of liquid at the different insulin concentrations. One factor CREB is revealed from preadipocytes to mature adipocytes. By demonstrating how insulin triggers transcription factors. When cells are insulin induced CREB is activated in differentiation. Insulin increased the rate of differentiation and the amassing of triglycerides in 3T3-L1 cells . Insulin was able to induce adipogenesis by observing cell morphology and optical density of liquid from ORO stain. Insulin at 1 µg/ml had the optimal rate of differentiation compared to the other insulin concentrations. Morphology of cells changed significantly from Day 0 to Day 7 at 1 µg/ml and appeared larger and
There were two main goals of this investigation. The first one was to find an equation that would produce the perfect number of moves for any number of disks that are being used in the puzzle. The second goal was to find a pattern between all of the different number of disk puzzles. The first goal of finding an equation was accomplished through trial, error, and logical thinking. By first graphing the data points, many equation types were able to be eliminated and a focus was put on exponential equations until the equation that worked perfectly with the data was found. The second goal was also accomplished in a similar manner. When there was not a clear correlation between the 3 disk puzzle and the 4 disk puzzle, the 5 disk puzzle
Unraveling the underlying mystery of this computational creature was a simple yet fascinating endeavor. The machine was beyond repair and I lacked the sufficient resources to alleviate the wounds of the miniature mainframe. While the project was a failure, I became curious about more intricate infrastructures.
As a top company in the semiconductors and processor industry, Advanced Micro Devices specializes in developing computer microprocessors and similar technologies. AMD creates processors for servers, workstations, and personal computers. Its products also include microprocessors, chip-sets, graphics processors, and embedded processors. The history of this company if an interesting and long one. AMD has been around for awhile and has amassed quite a history for themselves. This paper will go over the evolution of AMD processor's as well as the evolution of the company itself.
The fist computer, known as the abacus, was made of wood and parallel wires on which beads were strung. Arithmetic operations were performed when the beads were moved along the wire according to “programming” rules that had to be memorized by the user (Soma, 14). The second earliest computer, invented by Blaise Pascal in 1694, was a “digital calculating machine.” Pascal designed this first known digital computer to help his father, who was a tax collector. Pascal’s computer could only add numbers, and they had to be entered by turning dials (Soma, 32). It required a manual process like its ancestor, the abacus. Automation was introduced in the early 1800’s by a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage. He created an automatic calculation machine that was steam powered and stored up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Unlike its two earliest ancestors, Babbage’s invention was able to perform various operations. It relied on cards with holes punched in them, which are called “punch cards.” These cards carried out the programming and storing operations for the machine. Unluckily, Babbage’s creation flopped due to the lack of mechanical precision and the lack of demand for the product (Soma, 46). The machine could not operate efficiently because technology was t adequate to make the machine operate efficiently Computer interest dwindled for many years, and it wasn’t until the mid-1800’s that people became interested in them once again.
The Whirlwind computer had a video display that was controlled interactively by a light gun. The display attracted users much more than computer code. The Whirlwind computer became the basis for SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment), a defense command-and-control system developed for the Air force. In the 1960s Ivan Sutherland’s MIT doctoral thesis introduced a Sketchpad interactive drawing system, which established the theoretical groundwork for computer graphics software (Machover 14). In the mid-1960s, computer graphics was booming in private industry. General Motors had released DAC-1 a computer-aided design system, and Itek developed the Digigraphics electronic drafting machine. By the late 1960s the first storage-tube display terminals appeared, shortly followed by direct-view storage tube display terminals (DVST) which cost thousands of dollars; however this was an improvement to the tens to hundreds of thousands spent initially for display systems. In the 1970s Turnkey systems emerged, beforehand users had to develop software to make their hardware work however turnkey systems provided a haven to users from software issues. Bit-mapped raster displays developed as memory...
My interest in Computers dates back to early days of my high school. The field of CS has always fascinated me. The reason for choosing CS stream was not a hasty decision. My interest started developing in the early stage of my life, when I studied about the invention of computers. The transformation from the large size to small palmtops enticed me to know about the factors responsible for making computers, also the electronic gadgets so small. I was quite impressed after seeing a small chip for the first time in my school days, especially after I learnt that it contained more than 1000 transistors, “integrated circuits”.
At VRSEC, I had the good fortune of having a well-compiled syllabus, which placed equal emphasis on theoretical subjects as well as practical applications. Subjects such as Computer Organization, Digital Logic Design and Microprocessor Applications laid a solid foundation in th...
A client in the early 70’s from Japan wanted to recruit Intel services to design twelve chips for their calculators. Knowing that they did not have the manpower or the resources to complete this job effectively, Ted Hoff agreed to the job just the same to any other challenge. His idea was: “What if we can design one computer chip which could function the same as twelve microchips?”. Hoof’s idea was completely embraced by Moore and Noyce. If this project was effective and that the chip could have the ability to receive command functions. After a conscient...
The history of computers is an amazing story filled with interesting statistics. “The first computer was invented by a man named Konrad Zuse. He was a German construction engineer, and he used the machine mainly for mathematic calculations and repetition” (Bellis, Inventors of Modern Computer). The invention shocked the world; it inspired people to start the development of computers. Soon after,
