Moreover, FP generalizes IP by treating commands as forms of data that may be executed for their effects. Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired a mastery of basic functional ...

Linkage are composed of links and lower pairs. The simplest closed-loop linkage is the four-bar linkage, which has three moving links, one fixed link and four pin joints. A linkage with one link fixed ...

Thread operations include thread creation, termination, synchronization (joins,blocking), scheduling, data management and process interaction. A thread does not maintain a list of created threads, nor ...

A wheel provided with suitably shaped teeth, receiving an intermittent circular motion from an oscillating or reciprocating member, is called a ratchet wheel. A simple form of ratchet mechanism is ...
