Linda Vaughn | Asimo Unit 2 assignment 2 | AbstractASIMO is a humanoid Robot that was built to genuinely help people. Linda Vaughn | Linda Vaughn GS1145T 10/3/2015 Why Create ASIMO? ASIMO is humanoid robot created to duplicate human motion and genuinely help people. ASIMO took more than two decades of persistent study, research, trial and error before achieving a humanoid robot. ASIMO's design, development and operation rely on many different disciplines including Mathematics, Physics, Anatomy, Engineering and Computer Science. In 1986 Honda engineer’s set out to create a walking humanoid robot early models (E1, E2, and E3) focused on developing legs that could simulate the walk of a human. Models (E4, E5, and E6) focused on developing walk stabilization and climbing stairs. Then the head, arms and body were added to improve balance. Hondas first robot P1 was rather rugged standing at 6’2 and weighing at 386lbs. P2 had a more friendly design. P3 model was more compact standing at 5’2 and weighing 287lbs. ASIMO can run, walk on uneven slopes and surfaces turn smoothly and reach and grab for objects. ASIMO can also comprehend and respond to simple voice commands. It can also recognize the face of a selective group of individuals using camera eyes. It can also map environment and register stationary objects and can avoid moving objects as it moves along...

...Diana Firebaugh Kaplan University CS204-13: Professional Presence Unit 2 Assignment I chose the professional law firm slide. I believe this person was professional. The things that make this person professional are the way he presents himself with assertiveness, being a tactful presenter with a professional vocabulary and clear communication skills. He also has good posture and is aware of personal space. I don’t believe there was anything about him that was not professional. If it had said he uses slang and profanity or slouched a lot or came to work in street clothes, then there would definitely be a need for improvement. He showed proper professionalism. The appropriate attire for an individual in tax accountancy is professional attire, meaning suits and skirts. Some offices may have a “dress-down” policy for office casual like, semi-smart trousers and skirts, and a button down shirt or blouse for a more relaxed work environment. This depends on an office by office basis. Julie Becht says “It’s important for clothing to not be suggestive or provocative in any way so as not to distract from one’s talent and abilities.” (2012, August 31). This means that skirts should be appropriate length, clothes should not be too loose or too tight, and should not show too much. The things that make someone a professional in my field are a professional demeanor, proper etiquette, and a strong set of communication skills. A person needs to go by a professional dress code and wear...

...Unit 1 Research Paper 1 Injectable Tissue Engineering Brand Zae GS1140 Injectable Tissue Engineering Introduction Every year more than700,000 Americans undergo a form of joint replacement surgery. The procedure-in which a knee or a hip is replaced with an artificial implant-is highly invasive, and many patients delay said surgery for as long as they can. A doctor by the name of Jennifer Elisseeff , a biomedical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, hopes to change that with a simple and quick procedure that does away with surgery entirely. Dr. Elisseeff and her colleagues have developed a way to inject joints with specially designed mixtures of polymers, cells, and growth stimulators that solidify and form healthy tissue. This form of technology can eliminate the need for many expensive and dangerous surgeries. Surgeries involving muscle development, the cardio vascular system, and even limb repair after a traumatic incident. This form of technology can improve our health care system dramatically and open new windows of opportunity for new forms of medicine. Even the possibility for new cures for diseases that we currently fight every day such as cancer and possibly even HIV, eliminating the need for long and expensive treatments. As well as repairing worn or damaged tissue, this form of engineering can also be used in the future for growing new organs or limbs to replace old damaged or missing ones. If a patient is in need of a new heart...

...SC300 Big Ideas in Science Unit 2 Project In analyzing attendance of some local middle schools there seems to be a spike in student absences. After careful consideration in examining these absences there may be a link that connects them being a cause for concern. It seems that students involved with school band have a spike in absences due to sickness resulting in the same symptoms. Further investigations would want to look into the following: 1. Where did the bands travel? 2. What did the band members eat? 3. Were meals provided by the band and by whom? 4. Did the bands stop and eat at any same local restaurants? 5. What drinking sources were provided to band members, what were they and where did they come from? 6. Were there any band members sick prior to the events? By interviewing students, parents and school faculty similarities could be drawn to conclude the source of contamination causing such a rise in sickness among the Band students. There is concern and diligence to find out the source of this common sickness among the students so that an epidemic can be ruled out as quickly as possible preventing wide spread panic within the schools and community. Epidemics can take a while to determine if cases are not connected, meanwhile cases start to increase without proper treatment. There are modern epidemics such as parasites and mercury poisoning (Hubpages, 2012)....

...IMC of McDonalds Rachel Walker Kaplan University MT 359-01 Integrated Marketing Communication Strategies Professor Kevin Cojanu May 28, 2013 McDonalds is a well-known world-wide corporation. Richard (Dick) and Maurice (Mac) McDonald started a barbeque car hop in California in 1940. First starting out they offered a menu that consisted of twenty-nine different items that were served by car hops. By 1947, their business started to slow way down and they had discovered that hamburgers were one of the largest sellers within food sales. That was when the transformation began. The grills, once cast iron, were upgraded to stainless steel and the research of candy machines resulted in the finding of the ideal hamburger shaper. Dick and Mac made a comeback in December of 1948 with a completely different approach and opened as a hamburger venue advertising the famous 15 cent hamburger. When the menu first started out they served 9 different items and French fries was not one of them. It wasn’t until 1949 that the French fries came to the menu to replace regular potato chips and they also introduced a triple thick milkshake. In 1955, Ray Kroc opened a restaurant in Illinois. This was when the famous golden arches were designed by an architect by the name of Stanley Meston. Little did they know that those golden arches would soon become their well-known trademark. The very first advertisement done for this restaurant was the amount of hamburgers sold with the first sign...

...self-fulfilling prophecy, or anything about yourself you would like to alter related to how you think about the person you are. I would like to be a more positive and confident person. I do strive for that; however I feel improvements can be made in this area. I tend to look at life in terms of Murphy’s Law, which states “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” So as a result I try to stay safe and protected in case certain negative things may happen. Also I like to say that I expect the best but am prepared for the worst to happen. Which makes sense, but it also tends to lean more towards negativity. I would like to be able to expect good things to happen and therefore I will hopefully make a more positive life a self-fulfilling prophecy. 2. Where did you place your statement so you could see it every day? What statement did you use? Clearly write the change you want to make. Use strong, affirmative language to motivate yourself, such as “I will start speaking up in class,” or “I will share my opinions in meetings.” The statement I decided to use is “Stay positive and walk boldly. Expect the best and make it happen.” I feel this summarizes what I need to do on an ongoing basis. I have placed this statement on a sticky note and have it on my computer at work where I will be able to see it every day. This should help to remind me that I am capable of doing great things and that I can also move forward in a more positive way. 3. Refine your general goal by making sure it is...

...Introduction to Networking Unit 2: Assignment 1 Indentifying Network Topologies Identify the major needs and major stakeholders for computer networks and network applications. The major stakeholders for computer networks and network applications are the ones who use it or relay on it to do business. The main stakeholders are the ones who uses the network or applications to get their work done for their company. The next stakeholder is the company or people who rely on the first company to get what they need. The ones who design the applications or the network are stakeholders in the fact they need to make sure their work is done properly so others can do their job. The owners are also stakeholders in the fact that others rely on their people and software to get their work done. Then there is the end-users who are also stakeholders because we need the network and applications to do our daily job. Identify the classifications of networks and how they are applied to various types of enterprises. PAN (Personal Area Network)—personal. You as an individual and the range is around that person LAN (Local Area Network)—network of interconnected computers within a small geographic area. Area of LAN’s are a room, building or group of buildings, offices, schools. The range is 10m – 1km MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)—a network design for a town or a city.
