2.2 Definition of a Microcontroller Microcontroller‚ as the name suggests‚ are small controllers. They are like single chip computersthat are often embedded into other systems to function as processing/controlling unit. For example‚ the remote control you are using probably has microcontrollers inside that do decodingand other controlling functions. They are also used in automobiles‚ washing machines‚microwave ovens‚ toys ... etc‚ where automation is needed.The key features of microcontrollers include:

For this week’s essay it was asked of me to write about the ways in which life observed in nature can yield understanding in our own lives. From my own observation of nature I have learned that everyone has a role to play in life. No matter how small of a creature; there is something vital that it does for our existence. In the following paragraphs I will be explaining this a bit more into detail. To make my perspective a bit more clear I will be providing a few examples. For example ants‚ ants

the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they branch off from ours‚ and our universe is branched off of others. Within these parallel universes‚ our wars have had different outcomes than the

For centuries‚ two possibilities have been the subject of much debate. Either the beginning of the universe just happened by coincidence‚ or an intelligent being is responsible for its creation. Scientists agree that in order for the universe to be coincidental‚ it would have to be infinite in age. During the

In this theory Einstein had a problem with the static universe‚ his theory somethings stating that universe a whole would not remain static‚ gravity should play the role of attracting the things together. But‚ there was no such evidence and hence to cancel this Einstein had to put cosmological constant in his General Theory of Relativity

Nicole Oshan 3/10/2011 ENG 493 Infinite Cosmos and the Wonderful Amazement The Universe is commonly defined as the totality of everything that exists‚ including all physical matter and energy‚ the planets‚ stars‚ galaxies‚ and the contents of intergalactic space. To ponder over the vastness that we on Earth are suspended in is‚ quite frankly‚ amazing. To be able to inspire this awe and amazement in people through writing is an even greater feat.

accepted theory for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. This theory states that the universe began about 10 billion years ago in a violent explosion; every particle started rushing apart from every other particle in an early super-dense phase. This explosion sent energy and matter flying all over the place. However‚ there is an argument about whether time and space existed before the big bang‚ or did the big bang create time and space. As the universe expanded‚ according to scientific

Look at how the universe operates. Day and night follow each other in perfect synchronicity. The birds soar through the sky easily and migrate to the right places without ever getting lost. The seasons take turns to change without ever making a mistake. Every planet is always rotating in perfect order and never deviating from it’s course. You can go on forever contemplating the wonders of nature. There is definitely a force that orchestrates and holds it all together. If there is such
