Introduction Problem Description The goal of our final project was to build a car that has the following two functions: 1) follow a path made by a white line 2) respond to a sound from the environment by stopping or starting itself. The project was built on the chassis used in the previous labs‚ and utilized two Line Follower sensor and one microphone provided in the lab kit. Besides‚ an Arduino Redbeard was used as the microprocessor of the car. The car was expected to power itself and demonstrate

involves costs. - Post-operative side-effects‚ such as a droopy face and numbness o the tongue. - Adjustment by the wearer to a different lifestyle and the sensation if hearing sounds. For example‚ the functioning of each person’s hearing pathway is different‚ so each speech processor needs to be programmed to output sounds that suit the wearer’s hearing. The programming takes time to get used to and to adjust. It needs to be adjusted for different situations such as listening to music or watching

then people have adopted new ways to make their music more unique. Narcisco Martinez and Esteban “Steve” Jordan are two very well-known accordionists‚ but their fame stemmed from their own individual takes on how an accordion accompanied piece should sound. While one is upbeat and repetitive‚ the other is slow and unexpected. However‚ they both have components that can be comparable‚ like the instruments they are accompanied by‚ and the rhythm they keep. In the song “La Chicharonera” by Narcisco Martinez

century‚ psychologist Ernst Weber developed a law for all stimuli relating physical intensity to magnitude perception. It stated that the change in the intensity of a stimulus (for example‚ from a quieter to louder sound) divided by the intensity of the stimulus (the loudness of a sound) equals a constant. Later‚ Gustav Fechner modifed Weber’s law slightly by expressing the relationships in terms of logarithms. As a result‚ the law is sometimes called the Weber–Fechner law. dp = k dS S In

The intensity I of a sound wave is measured in watts per metre squared ( ). The lowest intensity that the average human ear can detect‚ i.e. the threshold of hearing‚ is denoted by ‚ where . The loudness of sound‚ i.e. its intensity level ‚ is measured in decibels (dB)‚ where . From this function a specific relationship between and can be drawn that holds true for any increase in intensity. By knowing the value of beta ( )‚ the value of can be found via manipulation of the logarithmic

kept on for 3 seconds and then the camera fades out and back into another blurred image of light with dark contrasts. The dark contrasts appear to be blurred shadows. The images transitionally fade in and out in two to three second intervals. The sound begins to pick up beat. The momentum of the music increases as movement begins. The camera zooms out‚ as it fades out from one image and into the next. The images are continuously blurry‚ become larger and are a bit more
