Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4.8, Problem 4.2ARQ
Explanation of Solution
New hardware affects the competitive strategies:
Generally, organizations get quite interested to use new hardware for their revenue generation based on potential opportunities or threats.
Internet of Things (IoT):
Internet of Things is a design where objects are linked with internet for interaction purposes. That is, interact with “devices”, “services”, or “applications”.
- Each and every day objects are embedded with hardware that used for “sensing”, “processing”, and “transmitting” data.
- Then objects are linked with internet to share the data with any other application, device, or service.
Smart device:
Smart device is a device which is added with extra features such as more processing power, more memory, Wi-Fi connectivity, net access, and so on.
Reason to use the smart devices:
- Nowadays, smart devices are essential. Because it is added with extra features such as more processing power, more memory, Wi-Fi connectivity, net access, and so on.
- People have started using smart phone much more than before.
- It helps to change the way of business operations.
- Business need to enhance the existing revenue with the help of smart devices.
Examples of how businesses could profit from smart device:
- One example is business from General Electric’s (GE) industrial internet.
- GE industrial internet is the broad plan which mainly focused to create the smart devices, investigating the data from these devices, and making changes to increase efficiencies, minimize the waste, and to enhance the decision making.
- The industry experiences huge profit by using smart devices in hospitals, railroads, power grids, and so on.
- Another example is business from Microsoft.
- Microsoft industry also made tremendous profits with the help of smart devices.
- The engineers from Microsoft were capable to minimize the energy cost and increase the profits.
Difference between AR, MR, and VR:
| AR (Augmented reality) | MR (Mixed reality) | VR (Virtual reality) |
| AR is changing of reality by covering the digital information on real-world objects. | MR is the mixture of real physical world with interactive virtual pictures or objects. | VR is the fully computer-generated virtual world with interactive digital objects. |
| It is used to interact with real world to make suggestions. | It is used for training and gaming technology. | It is used to train the medical staff and military purpose. |
| Headset helps to improve the experiences such as adding extra characters in game. | Headset helps to walk about its own surrounding and then feel it... |

Scenario
You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement.
You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds.
The conversions are as follows:
1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces
1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds
1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…

Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.
