    Thanks.Boolean Algebra Reduction - Is There an Algorithm for It?

    First of all I am sorry for late reply (because of my ongoing exams). Now from what you have mentioned above,it is not clear what kind of "recursive algorithm" he is talking about. Recursive algorithms are used even in Karnaugh Maps (I myself used it) so I cannot comment on the "recursive...

    What Career Opportunities Exist in Verilog and Digital System Design?

    Hi People! I have a few questions about verilog and other HDL's which I would like to ask. >Where in the Industry are Harware descriptive Languages being used ? >What kind of tasks are being completed using verilog? >What kind of jobs do engineers specializing in Verilog and Digital...

    Engineering Passive Sign Convention in circuit

    This is a circuit in which the Independent Voltage source and the resister are dissipating power while the Independent current source is generating Power.

    Engineering Passive Sign Convention in circuit

    I would like to add to what CEL has just posted that an Independent Voltage source always maintains the same voltage (In this case 10V) across its terminals with the same polarity. So this is how we get the signs of voltage across the Resistor (10 ohms). The thing that we do now is to use the...

    Thanks.Boolean Algebra Reduction - Is There an Algorithm for It?

    I haven't worked a lot on MATLAB (strange for an engineering student isn't it) but I can provide you with a link to a free downloadable K-Map toolbox that can handle 4 variables at max. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/6853 If you want more help on this then post a...

    Thanks.Boolean Algebra Reduction - Is There an Algorithm for It?

    Well As far as I know Karnaugh Map simplification technique is the best method for simplifying boolean Algebra and if you are looking for some new algorithm then i guess you have to develop one on your own. So the alternative solution is that you fix the maximum number of variables that occur in...

    Engineering Passive Sign Convention in circuit

    The passive sign convention means that when current is entering the element through the negative end of the Voltage then the element is generating power and otherwise it is dissipating power. So in your problem the independent Voltage source is generating power (as shown in the figure I have...

    Hypothesis Testing Homework: Does Your Relationship Support Claim?

    From what I know of Hypothesis test and student T distribution (from Statistics course which I am still undertaking), your answer is correct ie "t" lies not in the acceptance region but in the left rejection region thus "H0" is discarded and "Ha" is accepted instead. A very small error that i...

    Thanks.Boolean Algebra Reduction - Is There an Algorithm for It?

    >Karnaugh Maps are not that useful in Boolean logic simplification for more then 8 variables because they are very difficult to visualize and it is even tougher to develop some software to do this job. This is because with each pair of new variables added the amount of complexity is doubled and...

    Schools How can I improve my studying methods for a challenging college course load?

    I think this is the most common habbit that all students bring when they enter Professional Colleges. So the problem is that you are not even supposed to memorize the whole chapters by heart. The thing that you should do is > Do read and prepare only the topics that are related to your...

    What Are the Key Takeaways from My 2-Week HDL Microcontroller Project?

    Hi people! I am a student of Electrical engineering (5th semester) and have a profound interest in HDL (ie. verilog) Programming. For my 5th semester project of Digital System Design i have designed and implemented a primitive microcontroller Hardware architecture from scratch having...
