Procedures, Parameters & Sub-Programs
Number of words: 1014 - Number of pages: 4.... By choosing goo procedure names, even the names of the
procedures help to document the program and make it easier to understand.
Programs are easier to modify. When repeated actions are replaced by one
procedure call, it becomes much easier to modify the code at a later stage, and
also correct any errors. By building up the program in a modular fashion via
procedures it becomes much easier to update and replace sections of the program
at a later date, if all the code for the specific section is in a particular
module.
Programs take less time to compile. Replacing a sequence of stateme .....

New Weapons And Technology In World War I
Number of words: 1966 - Number of pages: 8.... roads of Germany. Some of the first armored vehicles were just normal cars converted in a tank.

The first design of a tank known as “Little Willie” designed by Lieutenant W.G. Wilson and William Tritton. It consisted of an armored box encircled by caterpillar tracks. The first vehicle to be designed and completed as a tank was not very effective. It was too short to cross a German trench that was more than four-foot wide. An improved version of Wi .....

Limitations On Robotic Technology
Number of words: 2027 - Number of pages: 8.... for. The technological age is in full force and robots are in the main stream of this tidal wave.
In the movie, Terminator, robots take over the world in their future. Are movies like these foretelling the future of mankind? Some Swiss scientists say that the end may be close (Kelly 1). An autonomous robot that learns from its environment sparked all of this "Armageddon" talk (Kelly 1). The robot learned not to bump into a barrier without any programming of that sort. This may not seem like a big deal, but this is a major breakthrough in this area. Scientist believe that in ten y .....

Telecommunications
Number of words: 3010 - Number of pages: 11.... can be a normal or a specially purchased telephone line called a leased, or
private, line (see Telephone). It can also take the form of a microwave or a
communications-satellite linkage, or some combination of any of these various
systems.
Hardware and Software
Each telecommunications device uses hardware, which connects a device to the
transmission line; and software, which makes it possible for a device to
transmit information through the line.
Hardware
Hardware usually consists of a transmitter and a cable interface, or, if the
telephone is used as a transmission line, a modula .....

So, How Does It Work? The Wankel Rotary Engine
Number of words: 758 - Number of pages: 3.... Wankel engine from OS / Graupner.
Rotor, Eccentric Shaft, Peripheral Housing, and Ports
A Rotary Combustion Engine (RCE) as invented by Felix Wankel and developed with Walter Froede of NSU differs from a Piston Engine in four fundamental ways:
The RCE Rotor supercedes the piston engine's piston.
The RCE Eccentric Shaft [gloss] supercedes the piston engine's crankshaft and connecting rods.
The RCE Peripheral Housing [gloss] supercedes the piston engine's cylinder.
Intake and Exhaust Ports [gloss] in the housings eliminate valves, camshafts, cams, lifter rods, and timing belts. .....

Nanotechnology: Immortality Or Total Annihilation?
Number of words: 1964 - Number of pages: 8.... allows the scientists to not only see things at the molecular level, but it can pick up and move atoms as well (Port 128). Unfortunately the one device that is giving nanoscientists something to work with is also one of the many obstacles restricting the development of nanotech. The STM has been regarded as too big to ever produce nanotech structures (Port 128). Other scientists have stated that the manipulation of atoms, which nanotech relies on, ignores atomic reality. Atoms simply don't fit together in ways which nanotech intends to use them (Garfinkel 105). The problems plaguing the pr .....
