Two reasons why cockpit voice recorders store data using solid - state memory instead of using a traditional hard disk drive :
1 . Solid - state memory is more , so it is less likely to be in a crash .
2 . It has no parts , so it is less likely to compared to a drive .

Audio from the cockpit is sampled at a rate of 8000 Hz and 16 bits are allocated to each sample .

How many kilobytes would be needed to store 360 seconds of audio ?
Show your working :

8000 samples per second × bits = 128 , 000 bits per second

Convert to bytes :
128 , 000 ÷ = 16 , 000 bytes per second

For 360 seconds :
16 , 000 × = 5 , 760 , 000 bytes

Convert to kilobytes :
5 , 760 , 000 ÷ = 5760 KB

Explain why the highest audio frequency in the sampled audio from the cockpit cannot be greater than 4000 Hz :
According to ? s , the sampling rate must be at least the frequency .
With a sampling rate of 8000 Hz , the highest frequency that can be recorded is Hz , otherwise it will be measured accurately .

Light enters the camera through the and is focused onto a chip ( such as a CCD ) . The sensor is made up of many - cells , each of which detects light intensity and produces an signal . Each signal represents a in the image .

An - to - converter ( ADC ) converts these signals into . A filter is used to produce separate values for red , green and blue components . The pixels are then stored as a grid ( ) of values representing the image .

To compress the image using run - length encoding , the image is analysed to find of pixels with the value or colour . Instead of storing each pixel individually , the system stores the value and the number of it . This reduces the amount of needed to store the image .

The RFID reader emits waves . These waves are received by the in the RFID tag , which enough power to activate the tag . The tag contains a chip that stores . Once powered , the tag the stored data back to the using waves .

Describe the principles of operation of a bar code reader , excluding the use of the check digit :

A or light source is shone onto the bar code . The beam is moved the bar code , or the reader is moved the code . The and white bars reflect different amounts of , with reflecting more light and reflecting less .

A light sensor ( such as a or ) detects the reflected light . This is into an signal , which is then into data . The data is processed to determine the encoded in the code and sent to the computer or till system .

Explain the purpose of the check digit :

The check digit is used to that the code has been entered or scanned and to detect .

How the software in the bar code reader will use the check digit when processing a product :

The first digits are used in a calculation to generate a . This calculated value is then with the check digit . If the values , the bar code is and processed . If they do match , an is and the input is .

A laser printer works by first a print with a static charge . A beam is then directed onto the using a mirror , and the beam is switched and to form the . The laser removes the in areas where the image should .

charged toner is then to the charged areas of the . The is transferred onto the , and heated rollers the onto the paper , creating a image . This process allows a laser printer to print a whole at once .

In contrast , an inkjet printer works by forcing tiny of onto the paper . This is done either by the ink to form a bubble or by using a piezoelectric crystal that changes shape when is applied . This forces out of the nozzle .

The print moves across the page , printing line by line . Different are produced by combining , , , and inks . The ink then on the paper .

Overall , laser printers use charge and powder , whereas inkjet printers use ink sprayed onto the paper .
