Based on quite a few instances and research work done on this particular topic‚ I think that the machines can indeed be categorized as conscious beings and in the following paragraphs I will be providing a couple of examples in order to support my argument. If we look at the definition of consciousness‚ which implies that ‘one

I. Who should take the blame for getting Standard Machines Corp into the crisis it faces vis-à-vis closing on a major sale with an established account? The blame for Standard Machine Corp can be directed in one of three ways: Industry: One could argue that innovation in the machine tool equipment industry has been stagnant and resulting caused customers to view machines as commodities and compete on price. Another thought is that the industry allowed a low cost player to enter and therefore

Electrical Machines I Prof. Krishna Vasudevan‚ Prof. G. Sridhara Rao‚ Prof. P. Sasidhara Rao 2 Basic Principles As mentioned earlier the transformer is a static device working on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction. Faraday’s law states that a voltage appears across the terminals of an electric coil when the flux linkages associated with the same changes. This emf is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages. Putting mathematically‚ e= dψ dt (1) Where‚ e is the induced

Contrary to Orwell’s vision‚ Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World portrayed a trivial world of pleasure and distractions. Although many would agree that Brave New World’s pleasure seeking society would correlate better with humanity’s weakness for fun‚ it is too scientifically advanced to

BALANCING OF ROTATING MACHINES The first thing to be explored to control vibrations is to try to alter the source so that it produces less vibration. This method may not always be feasible. Some examples of the sources of vibration that cannot be altered are earthquake excitation‚ atmospheric turbulence‚ road roughness‚ and engine combustion instability. On the other hand‚ certain sources such as unbalance in rotating or reciprocating machines can be altered to reduce the vibrations. This can

urbanization. During this time‚ three groups were active to do what they thought was best for themselves and society. These groups were immigrants‚ political machines‚ and reformers. Political Machines put an effect on the government and the society in the late nineteenth century. Did these political machines have more of a positive or a more of a negative effect on the society? They participated in many corrupt bargains. They also attacked those disloyal towards these political machines. I also add that

1 Could a machine be conscious? This question is often dismissed as simple by those that would say “yes” in response. The usual claim made by the pro camp is that man is a ‘biological machine’ and is conscious‚ ergo‚ a machine is conscious. If we‚ humans‚ are truly biological machines and we are at the same time conscious then I would agree that yes‚ categorically‚ a machine could be conscious. But is it really that simple? I contend that it is a more difficult problem but not that it is a complicated
