The Li-ion battery has quickly become the battery of choice for a number of portable electronic and mobile applications, surpassing the rechargeable batteries using aqueous electrolytes that were previously used (e.g., NiMH, Ni-Cd, Pb-acid). Identify a type of device or commercial product that is currently powered by a Li-ion battery, but may have been powered by an aqueous rechargeable battery in the previous versions. The product need not be manufactured by the same company. As an example where the device is an electric car, Tesla uses Li-ion batteries in their cars, while the first Toyota Prius used a NiMH battery. Address all the points below. a) What are the specifications of the Li-ion battery being used (e.g., energy/capacity/voltage, dimensions, weight/volume) and some relevant performance characteristics (e.g., time it can be used before needing to be recharged)? b) Repeat part a), but for the aqueous battery used in the legacy version of the device. c) Provide an explanation for why these particular aqueous batteries were initially chosen for the application (if not specified, include your own opinions, and justify them). d) Explain what kind of advantages and benefits have been enabled by the implementation of Li ion batteries in the device. Describe disadvantages, if applicable. e) Please provide links or full citations to all sources used.
Create a mind map of how you think the innovators may have arrived at their solution. Identify the problem they were trying to solve as your center. (Hint – in the chic&basic case, moving away from traditional offerings of hotels is not the main problem the innovators set out to solve). Include relevant topics based on the “Execution and Outcomes” sections of the case study. For example: In the chic&basic case study, since they were trying to avoid what they saw as predetermined bad habits in the industry, identify “Predetermined Bad Habits” as a primary branch, with bad habits as sub-branches. Likewise, include “Employees” as a primary branch as these are identified in the case study. Somewhat similar to Discussion Board 3.1, there are no wrong answers for the branches you identify. The goal of this assignment is to allow yourself to be creative and not confined by conventional solutions.
Using the articles and ideas you have been exploring on the topics of diversity in children’s books, choose one book (or fairytale) you have read so far and analyze it from the perspective of cultural relevance/bias. In a 4-5 page paper, address the following questions: Is there evidence of bias in the book? What type? From whom would this book be culturally relevant? How do you know? Use the Anti-Bias Checklist and the Gathering Evidence of Cultural Relevance to work help you answer the questions. Refer explicitly to the terms and ideas found in Freeman and Derman-Sparks’s essays. Don’t forget to cite your sources and use the paper rubric as a guide which can be found on the assignment page Paper #2: Diversity in Children’s Literature
