Power and water providers might soon have smart metering and analysis systems sophisticated enough to deduce what appliances we are using at various times of day (e. g., cellphones charging and an air conditioner running), when we shower (and for how long), and when we sleep. List several ways you can think of that this information could embarrass or cause problems for a person if leaked, stolen, or acquired by law enforcement agents.

Consider the following statements, then select one of the answers below: the signal() function shown below registers "sig_handler()" as the signal handler function for the sigkill signal, without the complexity of using when the sigkill signal is sent to a process running this code, by a user typing "kill -kill ", where the correct process id is used for to target the process, sig_handler() will be executed.

Why is investing in a mutual fund less risky than investing in a particular company's stock? a. mutual funds only invest in blue-chip stocks. b. investments in mutual funds are more liquid. c. mutual funds hold a diversified portfolio of stocks. d. investments in mutual funds offer a higher rate of return.

Now you’re on your own. include a short summary of this section with plots in your lab report. write a matlab script file to do steps (a) through (d) below. include a listing of the script file with your report. 1 the soundsc(xx,fs) function requires two arguments: the first one (xx) contains the vector of data to be played, the second argument (fs) is the sampling rate for playing the samples. in addition, soundsc(xx,fs) does automatic scaling and then calls sound(xx,fs) to actually play the signal. mcclellan, schafer, and yoder, dsp first, 2e, isbn 0-13-065562-7. prentice hall, upper saddle river, nj 07458. c 2015 pearson education, inc. 4 mcclellan, schafer and yoder, signal processing first. prentice hall, upper saddle river, new jersey, 2003. c 2003 prentice hall. (a) generate a time vector (tt) to cover a range of t that will exhibit approximately two cycles of the 4000 hz sinusoids defined in the next part, part (b). use a definition for tt similar to part 2.2(d). if we use t to denote the period of the sinusoids, define the starting time of the vector tt to be equal to t , and the ending time as ct . then the two cycles will include t d 0. finally, make sure that you have at least 25 samples per period of the sinusoidal wave. in other words, when you use the colon operator to define the time vector, make the increment small enough to generate 25 samples per period. (b) generate two 4000 hz sinusoids with arbitrary amplitude and time-shift. x1.t / d a1 cos.2
