Challenging Engineering Problems with Detailed Answers
Consider the first price sealed-bid auction between n bidders. Each bidder i has their own private valuation vi independently drawn from the same uniform distribution on [0,1]. The bidders i must pay his/her own bid, bi, when he/she becomes the winner with the highest bidding price b. When there are Kn bidders who's bidding prices are same and the highest, then we will use a fair lottery. Therefore, the bidder i's payoff will be given as following: with 0 < a 1, the strategy profile (b, ..., bn), and N = {1, ... ,n}, u (b, ..., bn) = 0 if b; < max bj, or u (b, ..., bn) ) vi - max bj jEN = if bi = jEN K max bj, jEN where K = = |{k: b = max b; bk = max bi is the number of bidders who bids the same b;}| highest bidding price. Note that here, when a = 1, this is exactly same as the model that we talked in the class. 1) (10 points) Suppose n = 2 and let's consider the symmetric equilibrium strategy. Find the optimal bidding strategy for the bidder i, b(vi), when his/her valuation is vi = [0,1] 2) (5 points) How this bidding strategy would change when a decrease. Explain the meaning of the result intuitively.
Objectives, Criteria and Constraints Introduction about the project. List the objectives of doing this Project. List the criteria and constraints. Besides the technical constraints, you have to include at least three of the following constraints: Public health, safety, welfare, as well as, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 4. Automatic Street Light Controller Most of the street lights are manually controlled by human operators, who perform the task of turning street lights on-off. Failing to turn on lights on time might result in an increased crime rate or wastage of electric power if lights are not turned off on time. As an engineer, you are required to solve this problem by designing a circuit that will automatically turn on a LED if it is not very dark (still little bright) and turn on another LED if it is darker (no brightness). The designed system should meet the following conditions: a. Follow the engineering design process steps throughout the project. b. Use at least two Op-Amps in the design. c. You are not allowed to use any type of microcontrollers. d. The output action/indicator may be LEDs and each of them turns on when measured light value falls below its threshold value. e. Take into consideration that suitable currents should be applied for each element/sensor/actuator in your circuit, otherwise they may not work well or they may burn out; also, if the current exceeds the max allowed current for the LED, it will burn out after some
In terms of System_1, with given parameters as below, a link budget analysis is carried out to calculate. This analysis aims to find out the received power, maximum channel noise, and link margin to be sufficient to provide a 54Mbps data rate and ensure better than 99% link availability based on Rayleighs Fading Model. Requirements for industrial commissioning of wireless transmission: Parameters Value Distance 5 km Frequency 5.8GHz Link Type Point-to-Point Line-of-sight Yes(Fresnel Zone) Radio System TR-5plus-24System_1 of wireless transmission, the link budget is calculated and designed for this system, a 5km line-of-sight link with sufficient Fresnel Zone will be considered. The design required to use of calculation of free space path loss, received power, maximum noise and link margin in order to ensure this transmission link has enough link margin for a reliable link.Please help me to calulate free space path loss, received power, maximum noise and link margin.
