In chapter 20 in the Technical Communication book, the chapter talks about the differences and types of definitions, descriptions and instructions. Everyone might already know the differences between these three topics, but using them in a sufficient way is what makes people’s writings really pop out. For the topic on definitions, this is one’s chance to really explain what they are exactly talking about. Maybe they can even add a picture to get their point across; however, definitions are very important. This is what the reader needs to really get an understanding of what the writer is trying to convey to them. In addition, the writer doesn’t want to make the definition too hard to understand, because anyone could be reading their piece. For the topic on description, this goes into detail of the physical or operational features of the object or process. This is very important, because this helps the reader create an image in their mind of what the writer is trying to explain. Thus, aiding the reader of what it could be. For the topic on instructions, this helps the reader comprehend how the object or process works. This part tends to be followed by graphics, and it is to make it so the reader could actually control the object, or carry out a process, which improves their ability to take in of what they’re reading.
It is difficult to put out a story when there is so much uncertainty going around. There might be rumors here and there, but until one has actual facts, then a story can’t be made. Recently, Venturebeat accepted the rumor about the Nintendo Switch being based on Nvidia’s Tegra X1, which includes a GPU that w based on second generations Maxwell technology. Ever since April, it was found out that Nvidia tech was part of the Nintendo NX. Then in July, Nintendo had an event in Frankfurt HQ where they help a demo in front of vast crowd. After this demo, stories went flying out. In this essays story, it was assumed that this release would allow Nintendo to go from Tegra X1 to Tegra X2 applying Pascal technology and using a FinFET processor production technology. Although, Nvidia declared that the custom processor is the same as the GeForce gaming graphics cards’. With all these claims, there are rarity and disagreements about the Switch. While some of the part are true, there are things like the actual speed of the CPU and GPU that are too vague to seem to be true. While referring to the clock speeds, it is assumed that Nintendo will use the sam 20nm as shield, but that has yet to be unconfirmed. However, there are two additions on the performance of the console. While it is in mobile form, it isn’t as skillful as compared to when it is in the dock and attached to and HDTV. Also, it was also stated that there is not a second GPU or another hardware in the actual dock, even though it was strongly suggested that there would be one. The battery life and power are not an issue, and thus make it so the GPU can run a lot faster. What is also good is that the machine’s memory in the dock form and controller form doesn’t hinder the gamer’s play. It stays consistent throughout the game. Even though there are some differences of what happened in the rumors, this is a time to see if Nintendo can finally challenge Microsoft and Sony again.
When dealing with hydrogen, it is always a problem of either making it and spreading it, which causes harm to the planet. By creating a more efficient “engine” for cars, a team from Georgia Institute of Technology made it so we can skip the hydrogen hassle while helping the planet. This new “engine” converts natural gas into hydrogen in any place, but at the same time it is catching the carbon dioxide in the air. If this new invention was used world wide, then it could attach to a natural gas line from anywhere, and fuel the car in a earth-friendly way that is also pleasing the oil companies. This new “engine” is called the CO2/H2 active membrane piston (CHAMP) reactor. It is similar to a regular engine, but this time methane and steam go through a cylinder when the piston goes down, and then it goes up and constricts the mixture of a temperature about 752 F. Thus, causing a catalytic reaction that creates the H2 and CO2 needed. Compared to the industrial made engine, this “engine” creates lower temperatures, so it can be used for household or commercial activites. Making hydrogen is highly expensive and extremely flammable, but this type of machine would have a huge favor on the natural gas lines that a large number of homes already have. It is pretty simple to hook it up and then create the hydrogen that is demanded. Not only would it power the fuel cell car, but also be a backup home fuel cell battery. It is seen as so powerful, that is would be equivalent to Tesla’s Powerwall and home charger, but instead it would be in the form of hydrogen. The machine has yet to be perfected yet, and the researchers have not talked about how efficient their system is, but there has yet to be another commercial tech yet for storing it permanently. Although, even if the device was accessible today, EV tech had already won if it comes to efficiency and pollution. In addition, the world would most likely already have cheaper, faster charging and higher capacity batteries by the time CHAMP devices are completely made.
