...Chrysler The company I selected to research is Chrysler. My husband drives a Dodge Ram and I drive a Dodge Journey, so I was intrigued to write about a company that my husband and I support. In the following business brief, I will inform you of Chrysler’s history, the industry, and the organizational structure. History Chrysler was founded in 1925. The company was founded by Walter P. Chrysler in Detroit. In 1928, Chrysler bought Dodge Brothers and also Plymouth and DeSoto Lines. The same year, Walter P. Chrysler was named Man of the Year (Wilson, 2011). In 1934, Chrysler introduced the first aerodynamically designed vehicle. They were praised for the forward design, but the commercial was a failure. In 1940, Walter P. Chrysler died. From 1942 to 1945 the Chrysler plant was shut down due to World War II, so the plant made Sherman tanks and other military vehicles (Wilson, 2011). In 1973 the first OPEC oil embargo drives up gas prices, which devastated full-size car sales (Wilson, 2011). In 1979, Chrysler was saved by Congress and President Carter from bankruptcy, and the following year the President signed the Chrysler Loan Guarantee Act, providing $1.5 billion in loan guarantees. In 1983, sales soar as Chrysler introduced the first minivan and fuel efficient cars they called K-cars. This enabled Chrysler to pay off their government loan seven years early. In 1987, Chrysler bought American Motors Corp, which gave them possession of the Jeep brand. In 1998...

...I've been mulling over how exactly to share my views on this for months. I've been reading all of the draft talk banter back & forth. Pro & con..........good & bad.......reasons for drafting him or not drafting Glenn Dorsey. In addition to all of the other guys we're considering at No. 2. As a long time Ram fan I know what it's like for us to be drafting early. This ain't my first rodeo, & I've been here b4. However an early draft pick, not to mention the No. 2 overall pick in the draft presents it's own set of problems. I'm sure many of us still remember the Lawrence Phillips DISASTER back in 96. We picked him as the 6th overall pick that yr. and he NEVER lived up to billing. All of the crying Vermeil did over that kid, was just a waste of time & that poor draft pick cost us for yrs. Luckily for us we turned it ALL around in 1999, w/ some key signings & the drafting of Torry in the first round. But that wasn't the end (unfortunately) of our Rams making HORRIBLE selections in the first round. Heck even our GOOD selections are a mixed blessing IMHO. Torry Holt has been the BEST draft pick EVER in my recent memory. But what about big Orlando Pace? Ohhhhh yeah everyone loves our big LT, & I admit I've enjoyed watching him wear the horns over the yrs. But everyone seems to forget how much trouble he's given our organization as well. He hasn't always been the team player that many ppl think he is. Ohhh no there has been a Dark side to the BIG O, that alot of ppl have...

Cache Memory 4 V. Virtual Memory 4 VI. Conclusion 5 VII. Works Cited 5 I. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to investigate the evolution of and current trends in improving system performance with respect to RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory. II. Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) Reduced Instruction Set Computing also known as RISC is a type of microprocessor architecture. It is a CPU design strategy. The purpose of RISC was for design simplification. It increases the number of executed instructions thus increasing the CPU performance. (Joy) The RISC design was first proposed and implemented in the 1960s and has been constantly evolving. Since the late 1980’s, RISC has been more than doubling its performance every year and half. The RISC industry, which includes IBM and Sun Microsystems, is ever expanding with the focus on the speed of executing instructions per second along with the evolution of the computer industry. (Joy) III. Pipelining One characteristic of RISC processors is pipelining. With pipelining, instructions are able to be executed in a shorter period of time. The first step in pipelining is to find the instructions, then read the registers, decode the instructions, execute the instruction, access the data...

...extent of the author’s childhood would have been during World War Two. In addition, Japanese families were mistreated by Canadian government officials during World War Two (“Joy Kohan Biography.”) The poem represents how war can be avoided. The poem used the wall as a symbol of conflict between nations. The poem gives peaceful methods of overcoming the wall, such as, “around, over, or through / there’s a gate.” (3-4) and then nonpeaceful methods, e.g. “there are methods of torture” (11) and “bettering rams” (16), to get the same results. The Berlin wall is an iconic landmark that represents World War Two (“Berlin Wall History”). I believe that Joy Kogawa chose to base the poem around a “wall” rather than a similar obstacle like a “fence” or a “mountain” to symbolize the Berlin Wall and thus associate the poem with war. The poem also used military objects to create an image of war by referring to methods to cross or destroy the “wall.” For example, “Battering rams / armies with trumpets / whose all at once blast / shatters the foundations” (16-20). Lines “16-20” appeal to the senses of touch and hearing. “Trumpets” and “last” are both associated with war sounds. “Shatters the foundation” (20) appeals to the sense of touch, creating the image of an earthquake. Morse code is often associated with World War Two and is represented in this poem “special codes to tap” (24). Morse code was used during world war two by tapping an electrical telegraph system to create hidden...

The Nighthawk s armament is a non-fixed internal weapons carriage and the primary weapons on the Nighthawk are the paveway series GBU-10 and GBU-27 laser guided bombs. There is usually one person to fly the Nighthawk and the cost to build each Nighthawk is around 45 million dollars. The United States Air Force has produced 59 Nighthawks with the help of Lockheed "Skunkworks." Stealth Technology. What makes the Nighthawk so stealthy are Radar Absorbent Materials or RAMs for short. The primary RAM for the Nighthawk is Dow Chemical s Fibaloy.(Jones, 1989, p.45+77) Fibaloy is black and has great radar-energy absorbency.(Jones, 1989, p.45) Fibaloy is made by inserting glass fibers into plastic. (Jones, 1989, p.45) Another RAM is Reinforced Carbon Fiber. Reinforced Carbon Fiber absorbs and diminishes radar-energy. It also helps reduce the Nighthawk s infrared signature.(Jones, 1989, p.77) The shape of the Nighthawk also contributes to the stealth. The Nighthawk has rounded surfaces so radar waves bounce off in different directions. All of these surfaces are bent in different angles so one surface does not share a common reflective angle with another surface. There...

...The Price of RAM And Hard Drive Storage Over The Past 30 Years The price and capacities of RAM and hard drive storage have come a long way in the past 30 years. Take for instance, in 1981 an 18MB hard drive cost $2500, today a 1TB hard drive costs $150. In 1990 RAM costs were $50 per MB and today one can purchase 2GB RAM for approximately $50. Observe the following table pertaining to hard drive cost vs GB capacity from 1980-2009: Table Source: iStockAnalyst Observe that there is a strong exponential correlation in the capacity vs cost ratio, where r=0.9916. During the last 30 years the capacity per unit cost ratio has nearly doubled approximately every 14 months. The regression equation is given by: Many TB+ drives have become available which recently broken the $0.10/GB boundary, whilst the next milestone being $0.01/GB or $10/TB. If historical trends continue, then 10 years from now the cost per GB of hard drive capacity will become $0.0000351 per GB or $0.0351 per TB. For $100, one could purchase a 2,849TB drive 10 years from now, based on the analysis of historical trends. Although 120 PB drives are currently available in the server and super computing market, consumer grade hard drives aren’t available in these sizes, as the physical size and cost per PB is too great for the marketability in the consumer market. Based on historical trends, one could forecast the availability of a consumer level 100TB hard drive in the next five years. It must be noted all figures...

...Studio Learning Task 1 – What is Design? Q1. What was the industrial revolution? When did it occur? How did industrialisation lead to the creation of the design profession? How was industrial manufacturing different from the traditional way of making a product and what role did the designer play in creating new products? The industrial revolution, which began in England around the 19th century, was the transition of a once rural and agricultural society into one in which new manufacturing processes were introduced. Industrialisation gave way to more jobs, and with products beginning to be produced in factories or with more advanced equipment, it meant that the product design and the actual production were no longer done by the same person. Q2. Explain what series and mass production means. What other factors over time have contributed to the high turnover and international sales of manufactured products? Mass production, or otherwise known as series production, is the manufacturing of a product in bulk. Mass production reduces wasted resources and shortens the amount of time needed to produce the product as it generally utilizes an assembly line. Q3 Using your own words, explain the meaning of the term “form follows function” and its significance. The supporters of Modernist design and functionalism assumed two things about form follows function. What were they? What do you understand by the meaning of each of these? Explain in your own words. Form follows function...

...architecture and its history are important to understanding how a computer works. The Von Neumann architecture is the basic building block to the modern day computer. There are different types of functions within the Von Neumann architecture that have helped create an efficient design and allow computers to perform multiple functions rather than being used for one specific purpose. The Von Neumann model uses memory, system buses, and Boolean operators to communicate programs and perform functions. Computer Architecture- Von Neumann Architecture Explained A computer is an electronic device that operates under the control of instructions that are stored in memory. The concept of storing memory or instructions within the computer came from John Von Neumann. Von Neumann architecture can be best described as a stored program design. A stored programmed design means that the program that operates the computer and the instructions that carry out the program are stored on the computer in one location, memory. By having a stored program design, the computer doesn’t have to go through a rigorous process to be reprogrammed, or to perform multiple functions. The basic design of today’s computers is founded on the architecture of Von Neumann, which can be referred to as the “fetch-execute cycle”. The Von Neumann model consists of five major components that work together to make the computer perform. There is an area for memory to be held and processed; today we know this as RAM or Random Access...
