The Universal Product Code (UPC), often known as a bar
code, labels virtually every sold good. An
example of a
portion of the code is shown.
Here a sequence of black and white bars, each having width
, presents an 11-digit number
(consisting of decimal digits) that uniquely identifies theproduct. In retail stores, laser scanners read this code,
and after accessing a database of prices, enter the priceinto the cash register.
How many bars must be used to represent a single
digit?
A complication of the laser scanning system is that
the bar code must be read either forwards or backwards.Now how many bars are needed to represent each
digit?
What is the probability that the 11-digit code is
read correctly if the probability of reading a singlebit incorrectly is
?
How many error correcting bars would need to be
present so that any single bar error occurring in the11-digit code can be corrected?

Find a Huffman code that compresses this source.
How does the resulting code compare with the best possible code?
A clever engineer proposes the following (6,3) code to correct errors after transmission through a digital channel.
What is the error correction capability of this code?
The channel's bit error probability is 1/8.
What kind of code should be used to transmit data over this channel?
Overly designed error correction codes
An Aggie engineer wants not only to have codewords for his
data, but also to hide the information from Rice engineers(no fear of the UT engineers). He decides to represent
3-bit data with 6-bit codewords in which none of the databits appear explicitly.
Find the generator matrix
and parity-check matrix
for this
code.
Find a
matrix that recovers the data bits from the
codeword.
What is the error correcting capability of the
code?
Error correction?
It is important to realize that when more transmission
errors than can be corrected, error correction algorithmsbelieve that a smaller number of errors have occurred and
correct accordingly. For example, consider a (7,4) Hammingcode having the generator matrix
This code corrects all single-bit error, but if a double bit error
occurs, it corrects using a single-bit error correction approach.
How many double-bit errors can occur in a
codeword?
For each double-bit error pattern, what is the
result of channel decoding? Express your result as abinary error sequence for the data bits.

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
