The machine used for radiotherapy is called as _________ Correct Answer Linear Accelerator

Linear accelerator, also called as linac is used to destroy the cancer cells with the help of radiations. Higher and more sophisticated versions can destroy at the surface level itself and use electrons rather than photons. The linac used the photons and the electrons to damage the DNA of the cancerous cells. Non cancerous cells are able to repair their DNA but the cancerous cells fail to do so.

In a press there are three types of printing machines A, B, and C. Machine A can print ten thousand pages in 8 hours, machine B can do the same task in 10 hours, and machine C can do the same task in 12 hours. All three machines start the task at 9∶00 a.m. Machine A breaks down at 11∶00 a.m. and machines B and C continue working. At 12∶00 noon machine B also breaks down and machine C alone has to complete the remaining task. What is the approximate time of completion of the task?
Suppose we want to design a synchronous circuit that processes a string of 0’s and 1’s. Given a string, it produces another string by replacing the first 1 in any subsequence of consecutive 1’s by a 0. Consider the following example. Input sequence: 00100011000011100 Output sequence: 00000001000001100 A Mealy Machine is a state machine where both the next state and the output are functions of the present state and the current input. The above mentioned circuit can be designed as a two-state Mealy machine. The states in the Mealy machine can be represented using Boolean values 0 and 1. We denote the current state, the next state, the next incoming bit, and the output bit of the Mealy machine by the variables s, t, b and y respectively. Assume the initial state of the Mealy machine is 0. What are the Boolean expressions corresponding to t and y in terms of s and b ?
