Cable provided a tremendous service for those who couldn’t receive signals by local affiliates. It rapidly became part of the television landscape. Fifty years later‚ the television world is littered with cable conglomerates that now compete with satellite companies by offering hundreds of digital channels and consumer-friendly

Assignment Unit 5 GADI 1. Using the material presented in the chapter‚ how would you explain Walgreen’s success story in the past? Do you think Walgreen can overcome the challenges discussed in this case? If so‚ how? Explain your answer. In the past‚ Walgreen Co. succeeded part due to the density of its store (as we see on the text “downtown San Francisco has 21 stores within a one-million radius”). They established many stores with a variety of products and easy accessibility for all their clients

There is one way of making sure of this: to test the spacecraft on Earth under conditions simulating‚ as closely as possible‚ those it will meet during the launch and its orbital life. This can be done with with tests which demonstrate by application of static or quasi-static loads that the spacecraft design can withstand the static and dynamic accelerations produced by the launcher‚ apogee motor‚ and spin-up without suffering permanent deformation or failure. Of the three existing methods used to

ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES INTRODUCTION: An Artificial Satellite is a people-made machine that orbits a variety of other objects in space. Many Artificial Satellites orbit the Earth to gather information about the universe‚ to predict the weather‚ to help with the navigation of ships and planes‚ to assist in telephone calls over the ocean‚ to observe the Earth‚ and as a tool to improve military activities. Though Artificial Satellites have mostly orbited Earth‚ some have orbited the moon‚ the sun

of satellite communication systems have been proposed using geosynchronous (GEO) satellites‚ as well as low earth orbit (LEO) constellations operating in the Ka-band and above. At these frequencies satellite networks are able to provide broadband services requiring wider bandwidth than the current services at C or Ku-band. As a consequence‚ some of the new services gaining momentum include mobile services‚ private intranets and high data rate internet access carried over integrated satellite-fiber

supported on one or more points by cables extending from one or more tower is known as cable stayed bridge. The cable-stayed bridge is one of the most modern bridges. It consists of a continuous strong beam (girder) with one or more pillars or towers (pylons) in the middle Cables stretch diagonally between these pylons and the beam‚ these cables forms intermediate supports for deck and the cables are anchored in the tower rather than at the end. Most of the cable stayed bridges have been build across

equatorial plane of the earth such that a satellite appears to hover over a fixed point on the equator. The period of revolution is equal to the period of rotation of the earth with respect to the stars‚ or 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds‚ and thus by Kepler’s third law the orbital radius is 42‚164 km. Taking into account the radius of the earth‚ the height of a satellite above the equator is 35‚786 km. Clarke observed that only three satellites would be required to provide communications
