...Friday class 6-10 pm Unit 1 research paper 1 Computers are an amazing tool that we as a people have developed. Computers help people in so many ways it almost seems like life would be impossible without them. Computers are used in pretty much every aspect of life in today’s world. The technology of computers is amazing and it just continues to get more powerful every day. Computers have had an impact in just about every industry in the world. Computers made medical procedures so much easier. Now doctors can do surgery using cameras and computers. This makes it easier for the doctor and results in less mistakes and better recovery. The patients receive smaller openings when receiving computer integrated surgery. The doctor can move a lot more accurately and cut more accurately with this technology. Another way that computers have impacted the world is by harnessing the power of the internet. The internet is a great tool for everybody. It makes studying and researching a lot easier for students. It also helps people communicate. Communication has never been easier. People in the United States can talk to somebody across the world with a click of a button. This also means people are more aware of what goes on throughout the world. Computers are also in cars. Google has developed a car that can drive itself. This is huge because the computer can actually drive your car for you. According to Technology review.com “Google’s cars have successfully driven more than 700,000 miles...

...started in 1913 with Henry Ford establishing an assembly line to mass produce cars. (A&E Television Networks, LLC, 1996-2013) The First off the line, the “Model-T”, had 20 horsepower and a top speed of 40-45 miles per hour. (Frontenac Motor Company, 2012) Just 100 years later, the average horsepower in today’s cars is 300, and top speeds vary with some cars exceeding 200 miles per hour. With today’s advancements, computer technology companies are developing cars that drive themselves. (Wikipedia, 2013) The idea that in the future, all cars would be driver-less, and cars could be controlled by computers on a grid or super highways. (Wikipedia, 2013) Allowing computers to operate the cars could result safer, super highways where speed and distance would be controlled by the computers. The result would be a decrease in accidents, increased mobility for disabled drivers, and the possible removal of 112 Million intoxicated drivers from roadways. (Incisive Interactive Marketing LLC, 2013) Another benefit of computer operated cars and highways is efficiency. With computers maintaining distance between cars, they can operate those cars at higher speeds, delivering goods and people to destinations faster, even turning on alternative energy sources to power the cars such as battery or magnetic field technology. Driverless cars will double the efficiency of working parents allowing them to send the car for the kids. (Incisive Interactive Marketing LLC, 2013) Lastly, technology...

...them with their car. A day at work to me is helping people save lots of money and getting their car fixed. One day I had a customer ask for a battery. I got them the battery and they asked if I could install it for them. I said “Sure I can do that no problem.” There car was not starting anymore and the person who I was helping was a student at San Marcos State. She said “I really need my car to get to school and there is no other way I can get there because it’s so far.” So I took out her battery, put some special lubricant and terminal washers to help the battery life and defend against corrosion. After I installed the new batter I said “can you start it, to make sure it starts.” The car started and she was so happy that her car was running and was very thankful. Another thing that I do and everyone else I work with is help people with their diagnostics system. If your check engine light is on we offer a code user that is free to use. What it does is reads through the cars computer and pulls codes on what is wrong with the computer. They also have the option to erase the code so the check engine light is not on. We also explain to them what the codes mean and what they can do to fix their car. If they went to a shop to have their system checked it would cost them at last $100.00 depending on which shop they go to just to find out what is wrong with the vehicle. Something I do by myself to help people as being a Good Samaritan is work on cars and computers, not to do with...

...industry involving computers. The industry is removing the human element in regards to driving and delegating more of those duties to the computer. Some manufacturers have made it easier to park or stay in the correct lane while some manufacturers are looking into a complete autonomous vehicle (AV). These are completely self-driving cars which the computer system controls every aspect of the drive. AVs have the potential to alter the landscape of driving like it has never been altered before. They have the potential to reduce the number of deadly crashes, provide transportation to elderly and disabled people and provide more capacity on the road. This paper will address the overall safety benefit of these vehicles. The first section will provide details into the technology behind the AV. This technology is the main component of the AV and will provide the safety factors in the system. The technology is currently in some cars and will advance to cover more systems as the AV becomes more accepted. The second section will cover the safety of the vehicle. It will delve into the number of accidents currently happening with human drivers to the tests of AVs. It will also bring up different factors which cause human accidents which are not present in a computer. Finally the third section will cover the health benefits of AVs. Stress is a major cause of most medical conditions. Driving in some instances cause major stress. So if a computer is driving the...

Car parking as an important part of the traffic management system, people’s requirements in parking management and continuously improve. It has been shown that over 40% of the total traffic volume in urban areas is composed of vehicles cruising for parking ( Shoup, 2006 ). E-Parking system is a modern parking system which combine the computer system with the parking management.E-parking system is a new technology platform. The definition of E-parking system is use the advanced technologies to help driver found the location, parking the cars, pay the parking fees ( Caroline, 2010). The scholar Kun-Chan Lana ( 2013) has explain how the e-parking works. When the motorists want to parking the car in somewhere like superstore, first they can go to the parking website, check whether there is a free parking space. And then they can book the parking space, after that they need print a certificate with bar code. Before they go, they can pay the parking fees auto in the parking. Many researchers through their research shows that e-parking system has great benefits. Thompson and Bonsall (1997) found that e-parking system can reduce parking facility queue lengths. The E-parking system also can...

...activity, driving a vehicle into a computer technology aided activity. Sharma (2006) notes that humans are intricately bound up with technology. With that in mind, creativity combined with technology can perform a simple task as driving a vehicle. The Auto driver is a technology project to develop a self-driving vehicle. Using GPS (Global positioning system) and other relatively new driving technologies, and combining them into one functional unit able to drive a car. A GPS system currently in use for driving involves indicating available parking spaces (Hsu 2010). Auto driver will take this idea further and use the GPS system to navigate cars through highways and city streets, without getting lost or losing control. By combining technology that is in place, it is possible to develop this car. By use of low cost sensors, the car will be able to recognize other cars in front and behind it while on the road. Similar technology developed by researchers at Rutgers University is helping in parking cars (Joentz 2010). Overview Edmonds et.al. (2005) Point out that the cutting edge in the digital arts is a highly fertile ground for the investigation of creativity and the role of new technologies. In this project, the idea is to research develop a car with an onboard computer system named Auto driver. A system that combines an automated engine to drive the car and an automated navigation system to guide the car. A typical journey in the car begins by the car recognizing...

...Case 10: Ford: Supply Chain Strategy I. Introduction/Background Ford Motor Company is widely regarded as one of America’s premier automotive manufacturers and the second largest industrial corporation in the world, with operations in over 200 countries. Ford was established by Henry Ford in 1903, and is still standing strong today. Although Ford has significant revenues from its financial services, its core business is the design and manufacturing of motor vehicles. Due to overcapacity within the automobile industry, Ford developed a restructuring plan called Ford 2000 that focused on globalizing corporate organizations and taking advantage of economies of scale. Ford 2000 completely re-engineered several of Ford’s key processes including the Ford Production System (FPS) and Order to Delivery (OTD). FPS was created to convert Ford’s supply chain from a push strategy to a pull strategy. To increase supply chain efficiency, Ford aimed at reducing the number of suppliers that had accumulated over the years. Ford accomplished this by developing a closer, long term relationship with fewer suppliers referred to as “Tier 1” suppliers. These suppliers would provide complete vehicle subsystems for Ford. Tier 1 suppliers work closely with several Tier 2 suppliers who provide the components for the Tier 1 subsystems. Another initiative taken by Ford to improve their supply chain was the Ford Retail Network. This helped reduce competition among its dealership in the same region...

...By FaaDoOEngineers.com BLUETOOTH APPLICATION ABSTRACT In the current scenario the world is plagued by accidents which are primarily due to human errors in judgment and hence thousands of lives are lost. These accidents can be avoided if only there was a mechanism to alert the driver of approaching danger. This can be done by monitoring the distance between nearby cars and alerting the driver whenever the distance becomes too short. This is precisely the aim of this paper. In this paper we propose the use of Bluetooth Technology by which we can check the speed of the car whenever it comes dangerously close to any other vehicle up front, thereby saving very many lives. CONTENTS: 1. INTRODUCTION 2. ROAD ACCIDENT STATISTICS 3. OPERATION 4. AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM 5. REPRESENTATION OF OUR IDEA 6. CONCLUSION 7. REFERENCES INTRODUCTION Since Bluetooth devices are capable of communicating with eight other devices simultaneously we can monitor and check the speeds of up to eight cars simultaneously, thus preventing accidents. Thus if we have two Bluetooth enabled devices in two cars the devices automatically communicate with each other when they come in the range of up to 100 meters of each other. The range is dependant on the power class of the product. Power transmission rates vary in many Bluetooth devices depending upon the power saving features available in a particular unit, bandwidth requirements, transmission distance. The statistics of road accidents is tremendous...

...Driverless cars – is it safe to take the human out of the loop? From the beginning of the world humans always wanted to make their life easier. They produced more and more complicated tools for hunting, then for harvesting and other branches of human activity – these tools allowed them to make their job without using their bare hands. Time was passing, humanity was evolving newer technologies, people knew more and more about the world and laws that rule it. But one thing that every human-being wanted the most was faster way of travelling. The first step was inviting wheel. Later humans built carts, coaches and many other vehicles propelled with animal’s or person’s strength. But still it was too slow and too less automatic for people. The change came in 1769, when Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot presented his steam vehicle. Then everything started to evolve faster – and we step to nowadays, where we have many different types of cars, even the ones fueled by water or electricity. In our century, where artificial intelligence isn’t a Sci-Fi subject only but also reality, people started to think about using it in car’s safety and driving system’s development. One of the results is Google’s self-driving car, which is travelling in states of Nevada, Florida and California, where autonomous vehicles are already legalized. This technology is evolving all the time and maybe there will come the day where whole world will be able to use such kind of cars. But there comes the question – is it safe...

...The History of Computers http://inventors.about.com/library/blcoindex.htm "Who invented the computer?" is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention. This series covers many of the major milestones in computer history (but not all of them) with a concentration on the history of personal home computers.

...Progress can be both good and bad, like everything the good is nearly always better than the bad. “Good” in this case it can be defined as “innovation that’s not only sustainable, but also restorative and resilient” (Hollender 2012, p6). Hollender expresses his opinions that there is no such thing as bad nowadays, instead it should be classified as “less bad” meaning the generation of less waste, less CO2, pollute less water and utilize a greater amount of recycled materials (Hollender 2012, p6). He expresses these views on his idea of “less bad” as the world has revolutionized itself to a point where that almost everything innovative that we now do will harm something else in a negative manner. This is evidently proven from the things that have been invented over time. Going back 100 years from now it is evident that changes have been significant everywhere across the world and in nearly every case it is the tools that we have shaped that are now shaping us, this is becoming a problem in many cases. Starting right back when the hammer was invented. It can be proven that the tools that we make definitely have an influence on the way we interact on a day-to-day basis. There is no specific date on when the hammer was first utilized or invented but it can be said that the cavemen used to use rocks to help them hit something with more force. Essentially this is what a hammer is used for nowadays but in a much more technical manner. Back when the cavemen were using the hammer...
