Finite State Machine A Finite State Machine (FSM) is a kind of digital circuit‚ (and‚ possibly‚ other types of machines‚ including virtual ones) that is used to process information in steps (states). At every state a different part of the information can be processed. This has many advantages in terms of reduced hardware requirements over combinational logic networks (CLNs). It is a mathematical model of computation used to design both computer programs and sequential logic circuits. It is

Two types of grinding machines In materials processing a grinder is a machine for producing fine particle size reduction through attrition and compressive forces at the grain size level. See also crusher for mechanisms producing larger particles. In general‚ grinding processes require a relatively large amount of energy; for this reason‚ an experimental method to measure the energy used locally during milling with different machines was recently proposed. Ball mill A typical type of fine grinder

Tomorrow The Time Machine written by H.G. Wells is metaphorically describing humanity as being peaceful on the surface‚ but under hidden depths there is a desire to be destructive. In the early chapters of the book‚ the time traveller expects the descendants of mankind to be super-intelligent‚ but is disappointed by the behaviour of the supposedly advanced species‚ the Eloi. His curiosity about the mysterious wells leads to his discovery of the Morlocks and their hidden technology‚ and what he

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury to them. All cells grow and die at different rates. The cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase‚ the mitotic phase‚ and cytokinesis. During interphase‚ the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis‚ preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase‚ the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter

“The Experience Machine” “The Experience Machine” is a thought experiment by Robert Nozick that imagines a machine that could give people whatever desirable or pleasurable experiences individuals could want. It would stimulate the person’s brain to cause pleasurable experiences that the subject could not distinguish from those apart from the machine. Hedonism is the idea that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life. As a hedonist‚ one tries to maximize net pleasure. A consideration
