The very notion of machine thinking used to strike us as strange‚ when we first heard of it. How can a machine think? It seemed obvious that only people can think. However‚ it is my belief that much of what passes for thinking by both people and computers is now machine thinking. And this is the source of our biggest problems. My primary source here is Iain McGilchrist’s book The Master and his Emissary: the Divided Brain and the Making of the Modern World. But other people have weighed in on this

EE 2403 SPECIAL ELECTRICAL MACHINES 2 MARKS UNIT-I - SYNCHRONOUS RELUCTANCE MOTOR 1. What is synchronous reluctance motor? A reluctance motor is a type of synchronous electric motor which induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. Torque is generated through the phenomenon of magnetic reluctance. 2. Define the characteristics of synchronous reluctance motor. The synchronous reluctance motor is not self starting without the squirrel cage. During run up it behaves as an induction

Electro Discharge Machine and how it functions and what is needed to make it function Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is a process‚ where we use the electrical energy to produce electrical waves and thermal energy to mould any alloy into a desired shape/size. This machining method can only be used with materials that conduct electrical energy well. EDM is so powerful that it can cut through into hard steel without the need to soften it. This method is not only used to shape steel but it

this quote in relation to the following texts: firstly‚ the science fiction novella The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and secondly‚ the play Mrs Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw to decide whether or not Darwin’s statement is supported by these texts. I will be critically analysing the political ideologies of Wells and Shaw in order to properly evaluate Darwin’s statement. The plot of The Time Machine involves the protagonist‚ referred to as the Time Traveller by the narrator‚ travel through
