Introduction to embedded systems using the msp430 6. 1 Enumerate the elements of a basic microcontroller interface and indicate two major criteria for the selection of each. 6.4 Assume the system described in Problem 6.1 is lo be fed from a 4.0V. 2A00 mAh lithium battery. Estimate the expected battery life, assuming LEDs are driven dynamically at 30% duty cycle. What would be the regulator efficiency?? Determine the MCU thermal dissipation for the given loading conditions and verify if it is operating within a safe temperature range. Solution An interface is either Input device, or output device, or a storage device, or processing device. Input devices are used to provide some data to the microcontroller. e.g. Switch, 4x4 Keypad Matrix, Infrared sensor, Temperature sensor, Light Sensor etc. These devices provide some input to the microcontroller, and this input is called as data. Output devices are used to present the processed data to user or other equipment. e.g. LED, LCD, Buzzer, Relay driver, DC Motor Driver, Stepper Motor driver, 7-Segment Display etc. These devices convert the processed data to such a format, which is understandable by human or other equipment. Storage Devices are used to store the data, normally it is expected to store the data even if the power is switched off. Some of the storage devices are SD/MMC card, EEPROM, DataFlash, Real Time Clock, etc. These interfaces are used retain the data and this data can be used as and when required by the microcontroller for further processing Processing Devices are those interfaces most important as they reduce product development time and provides out of box solution. E.g. Ethernet Controller interface, USB to TTL interface, SPI to SD/MMC interface, Digital to analog module, etc. These interface circuits are flexible to connect with any microcontroller which can talk in their language (sequence of commands). A simple LED normally requires 0 or 5V to on / off. This is called as digital signal. A buzzer beep similar to LED but can be beeped even with intermediate voltage levels between 0 to 5V. This variable voltage input is called as analog signal. A temperature sensor LM35 generates analog voltage in proportion to the temperature. This analog voltage needs to be connected to Analog Port pin of a microcontroller for processing temperature data. Ethernet controller module requires SPI data format to interface with any microcontroller. SPI is a complex digital communication format. Thus every interface is unique in its interfacing standards, but they are same at par with all microcontrollers..

Intro to surveying 1. What are the three primary components of the GPS system? Explain how they function together to give accurate positioning data. 2. What is the purpose of the control segment of the GPS system. 3. In differential GPS, how does the base station improve the accuracy of the survey? 4. Describe one possible mistake in GPS surveying, and one source of systematic error. 5. Explain why identifying your backsite and foresite is important when taking “angles to the right” 6. If a leveling circuit used to determine the elevation of a benchmark has a perimeter of 100 km and a linear misclosure 0.15 m should the survey be redone? Explain. 7. Why is it bad practice to report more significant figures than are technically available? 8. When laying out a traverse why is it important to measure your interior angles from left to right (Clockwise)? 9. Draw figures of the earth and the Lambert (cone) and Transverse Mercator (cylinder) projection systems. 10. What are the fundamental differences between the projection systems? Solution The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a service that is owned by the United States of America.The Global Positioning System provides it\'s consumers with positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) utilities. The Global Positioning System consists of three primary components: the space component, the control component and the user component. The Air Force of United States of America develops, maintains and operates the space and control components. (1)Space Component :- In this component we have a nominal constellation of 24 operating satellites which inturn is responsible for transmission of one-way signals that provide the current GPS satellite position and time. (2)Control Component :- In the Control Component we have a worldwide monitor and control stations which are responsible for maintaining the satellites in their proper orbits through the occasional command maneuvers and also are responsible for adjusting the satellite clocks. The control component tracks the GPS satellites aswell as is responsible for uploading the updated navigational data.The control component also plays a part in maintaining the health and status of the satellite constellation.(3)User Component:- In the User Component we have a GPS receiver equipment, which is responsible for receiving the signals from the GPS satellites.It is also responsible for using the transmitted information for calculation of the user\'s three-dimensional position and time..

Interpret the significant impact of New Public Management on Non-Profit Reform. Next, infer two (2) challenges that are associated with implementing the reform in non-profits. Provide a rationale for your response. Solution While many initiatives have been introduced under the guise of New Public Management (NPM), the outsourcing of services to the public is as an important example of the impact of NPM on the nonprofit sector and the role of professionals. Many government agencies have introduced competitive tendering and contracting (CTC) in a move towards greater contestability of public services. Outsourcing advocates point to the potential for “increased flexibility in service delivery; greater focus on outputs and outcomes rather than inputs; the freeing of public sector management to focus on higher priority or ‘core’ activities; encouraging suppliers to provide innovative solutions; and cost savings in providing services due to competition”. The CTC process presents many challenges for governments and their agencies, as well as for private and non-profit enterprises who bid for government business or contract for the delivery of services to the public. Challenge #1: Calls for accountability in the nonprofit sector have never been stronger, and the rise of various forms of self-regulation represents a profound shift for nonprofits.The idea of accountability is ubiquitous in our society and yet is noted for its complexity, ambiguousness, and context dependency. Even in the face of much research across public, business, and nonprofit sectors, accountability is a ‘‘multifaceted concept fraught with ambiguity’’ and ‘‘…has become a cliché´ and, like all cliché’s, is a substitute for thinking’’. Accountability has such widely varying interpretations and a high degree of abstraction that common understanding of its detailed implications is often elusive. Challenge #2: Enhancing Business Ethics or Governance- fiduciary duty requires one to put another’s interest first. For nonprofits, this first element of governance means putting the organization’s best interests first. It is based on a high standard of trust which includes a duty of care, a duty of loyalty and a duty of obedience. Boards and principle officers must govern the nonprofit organization according to this trust standard. The duty of care requires good faith and effective governance. The duty of loyalty prohibits organizational harm and requires commitment to the nonprofit’s best interests. The nonprofit Board must adhere to the organizational mission to fulfill its duty of obedience..

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 28 states that the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee company is the sole criterion of requiring the application of the equity method. List three conditions of influence and explain how each would indicate the presence of influence. Solution the following three cosnditions may be deemed to indicate the presence of infuence 1) Representation of investor on the board of directors of the investee- the board of directors act on behalf of the shareholders and looks after the day to day business of the company so if the investor has a say in board of directors it indicates presence of influence 2) investor participation in the policymaking process of the investee - this also indicates major influence if the investor can decide the policies like declaring a dividend 3) Technological dependenc- if the investee compay is dependent for technology it in a way is dependent on the invesor has presence of influence.

Interest rates keep dropping. In my country in northern Europe we now have negative interest rate - banks have to pay the central bank for lending it their money. I have two questions: Why are interest rates lower than any time ever before? Are low interest rates dangerous? The low interest rates will make it easier to borrow money for projects that would otherwise not have been possible. Irresponsible lending has proven dangerous in the past. Are the low interest rates a way that the central banks are \"artificially resuscitating\" a poor economy which may finally lead to a crash? Adding that we have never seen this situation before I ask if this situation with extremely low interest rates is dangerous? One aspect of the question is: Are these low interest rates expected to stay low or are they considered an extreme value in a cyclic variation? Solution If by dangerous it is meant they add possible downwards volatility of assets, that could easily be argued for as: PV=D/(1+r)t Where D denotes any future income. This is especially the case if the reason for the low rates is very easy monetary policy, as such policy cannot be maintained and thus the rate is not equilibrium rate and must rise, causing a crash in asset values when that happens. Central banks determinate the interest rates in the short run, their policies are targeted to lower rates, thus a low rate. The other reason is that of supply and demand. There is not much demand for credit (no profitable ideas, no more room for consumer credit) and on the other hand the supply of credit is significant due to central bank action. High supply and low demand equals a low rate..

Interest rate have been at their historic lows in japan, Europe, and North America for several years but they are beginning to inch up in some economies. What are the exchange rate implications for American companies operating abroad in 2015 and beyond? Solution Interest rates and exchange rate share positive relationship. It means higher interest rates causes an appreciation in exchange rate. Since the interest rates started inching up in America, American dollar will get a boost and it will rise up. This appreciation in US dollar will detriment American companies working abroad as in dollar terms they will now get a lower amount of money as the currency they are operating ( If operating in India, operating currency will be rupee), has been depreciated and this and they will get less dollar if converted ..

Information Quality (20 points) You have come across a chunk of cash you want to invest in a company. Being a do-it- yourselfer, home-fixer-upper. You are seriously considering buying stock in Home Depot or Lowes. In the context of whether you should purchase either Home Depot or Lowes stock, demonstrate your understanding of the elements of information quality (IQ) listed below by providing concrete examples of information that clearly illustrate the presence and/or absence of each IQ element in your decision. For example, if you were discussing the element of completeness, you might provide this example: If I only had the companies’ balance sheet and income statement, I would have an incomplete picture of the company because I would not understand how they manage their cash flows. REMEMBER! IQ IS ABOUT INFORMATION! Not about processes, or companies, or anything else. It’s about the quality of information. So your descriptions below should apply to how the element is present or absent it the available information. Relevance – Verifiability – Reliability – Timeliness – Understandability - Solution Relevance: It is the concept that the information generated by an Accounting system in a timely manner should impact the decision- making For example, When the management is trying to replace the equipment, it is irrelevant to see its original cost. What is relevant is Cost of new equipment and savings in replacement cost of old one. Verifiability: It is the ability to see how a company arrives at a certain result from the data it provides. Verifiability helps to assure users that information represents faithfully what it purports to represent. In other words, information is verifiable if it can be audited. For example, If the management says a particular asset worth $10,000 and for the same amount you could able to get confimation from outside accountant. If not, the result isn\'t verifiable. Reliability: Accounting Information is reliable if a user can depend upon it to be materially accurate and if it faithfully represents the information that it purports to present.Omissions or misstatements in financial statements reduce the reliability of information contained in them. Reliability is acheived when thee information is verifiable and objective. For example, company XYZ ltd is being sued for damages by a rival firm, settlement of which could threaten the financial stability of the company. Non-disclosure of this information would render the financial statements unreliable for its users. Timeliness: Timeliness principle in accounting refers to the need for accounting information to be presented to the users in time to fulfill their decision making needs. For example, Users of accounting information must be provided financial statements on a timely basis to ensure that their financial decisions are based on up to date information Understandability: Understandability is the concept that financial information should be presented so that a reader can .
