Bulldozers: Types and Applications

Bulldozers are powerful earthmoving machines designed for pushing, digging, and ripping. They feature a robust blade at the front for various tasks.

Bulldozer Blade Types

  • Straight Blade Dozer: Features a rigid blade perpendicular to the tractor. Very rigid and compact.
  • Angledozer: Equipped with a slender, leaf-shaped blade that angles to the direction of travel, offering less rigidity than a straight blade.
  • Tiltdozer: Features a blade with vertical tilt. Useful for

Alternating Current (AC) Fundamentals

Alternating Current (AC) is the electrical current whose value and direction vary cyclically in a circuit. This type of current is generated in power plants and is the one we find in household plug sockets. Most electrical and household appliances are powered by alternating current.

The figure below shows how the direction and value of domestic AC vary:

Key Electrical Variables

Current (I)

Current (I) is the variable that tells us how many electrons flow through

Image and Graphics Operations

1. Grayscale Image Processing

  • a) Fill a Grayscale Array (320w x 240h)

    Fill a grayscale array to represent an image of size 320w x 240h.

    myGreyArray = zeros(240, 320);

    Note: Image dimensions are typically height x width in MATLAB, so 240 rows (height) by 320 columns (width).

  • b) Display the Grayscale Image

    Display the image.

    figure;
image(myGreyArray);
colormap(gray); % Ensure grayscale colormap is used

  • c) Increase Array Values and Observe Image Change

    Increase the array values

Understanding Electrical Concepts

Intensity (I)

Intensity, or electric current, is defined as the amount of electrical charge (electrons) flowing through a conductor per unit of time. Its unit is the ampere (A), and the apparatus used to measure it is called an ammeter.

Voltage (V)

Voltage represents the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. It is measured in volts (V), and its measuring instrument is a voltmeter.

Resistance (R)

Electrical resistance is defined as the opposition
