String to HEX conversion?
I have a problem comverting a hex contain string into Uint32 in VB.net
This is the string:
Dim Address As String = "0xF80F80F0"
and a function:
Private Function StringToHex(ByVal str As String) As UInt32
Dim out As UInt32
If str.StartsWith("0x") Then
str = str.Replace("0x", "&H")
End If
out = Val(str)
Return out
End Function
So when I call the function with the string as input, it causes overflow.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoHow to prevent somebody from stealing my apple?
I stay in university student hostel. We have a refrigerator on each floor where share among us. Few days back I bought some apples and keep in the fridge so that I can eat them when I want, Since from the day I bought them until now I ate four of them and left two, but today I found that the two are gone missing. Is there any way I can stop them from stealing my apple?

When I wanted to simulate it, I get the following error:
"Parameter C_OUT of mode out can not be associated with a formal port of mode in."
My code: http://www.freewebs.com/alexander3133/addervhdl.tx...

Any idea what's wrong with the code? Thanks.
3 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoStatistic problem.?
If a set of measurements are normally distributed, what percentage of these differ from the mean by more than half of the standard deviation.
I just can not understand the problem and hence I can't solve the problem. Someone can guide me throughout this problem?
Thanks.
5 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoZiegler-Nichols method of tuning?
I understand that the value of L and T is needed for the tuning, and the value of L and T can be found once the tangent line at inflection point is drawn.
The question is, how would I know where the inflection point is when a transfer function is given.
Thanks

5 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoHow to solve this coil problems?
A coil is wound on an iron former of mean magnetic length of 25cm and cross-section of 4cm^2. The relative magnetic permeability is 1000, leakage, fringing and losses of all types are neglected. The coil will be connected to an AC source of frequency = 400Hz so that the peak current drawn does not exceed 0.1A and the iron operates at a peak flux density of 0.9T.
a) By using Ampere's law, determine the number of turns, N of the coil to meet this specification.
b) By using Faraday's law, obtain an expression relating the peak supply voltage to the peak magnetic field intensity.
c) Calculate the maximum permissible peak supply voltage so that the specified peak current and flux density are no exceeded.
