”Several terabyte+ drives have recently broken the $0.10/gigabyte barrier, making the next milestone $0.01/gigabyte, or $10/terabyte.” (Komorowski, 2009) With Moore’s law in effect, I believe we will see a 100 TB hard drive within the next twenty years. Engineers at Florida International University have already uncovered a way to break the 2D limitation of magnetic hard drives, by going 3D and drastically increasing the areal density. As of now, they are potentially capping 60 TB
The Pentium chip which is the most common 1993 chip from Intel contained 3,100,000 transistors. The technology behind transistors over the years has changed, they are made smaller so that microprocessors could be fitted with more, which gives faster processors. The co-founder of Intel, Gordon E. Moore in 1965 described how the amount of transistors for integrated circuits which had doubled every year, Moore predicted that for at least the next ten years the trend would continue. Now more than forty five years later this prediction is still somewhat correct. Moore stated that this could continue another decade or two, but would eventually reach its limits at atomic levels of miniaturization.
1. Days to repair As we know, the number of days in which the copier can be repaired is random. So, we will generate some random numbers between 0 and 1 and denote it by r1 then according to the given probability distribution: If 0 < r1 < 0.2, then it will take one day to repair the copier. If 0.2 < r1 < 0.65, then it will take two days to repair the copier. If 0.65 < r1 < 0.90, then it will take three days to repair the copier.
In 1998, the states paid a little over seven dollars a day per inmate for healthcare (Kinsella, 2004). You can imagine that in the last thirteen years, this cost has continued to increase and will only get worse with the aging prison population, the occurrences of communicable disease and
Sales-force was incentivized by a quota system with quarterly volume quotas. Manufacturing Selling Prices of RBS increased 3 times in previous 5 years. Price increases were due to increase in raw material cost by 11%. Advertising was focused on new uses of product like pet care, baby care, pool care, outdoor care etc and emphasized non-toxic benefits of product. In 2006 too much RBS product moved in the market, so need to deplete Inventory and increase sales RBS More aggressive in promotion during last 3 years.
This as well, will continue to lower Lincare’s profits. Lincare’s operating margin additionally declined from 24 percent to 16.6 percent. The 9.5% reimbursement cut on certain durable medical equipment, as well as the 36 month payment cap, and competitive bidding from CMS are negatively affecting the profits of the company. Lincare operating margins have declined from 28.8 in 2005 to 16.6 in 2009 (morningstar.com). Lincare’s Return on Equity has taken a steep decline over the past 5 years going from 21.83% in 2005 down to 14.54% in 2009.

The company’s net cash from operations also decreased from 262.69 million to 233.58 million in 2005, a difference of 29.1 million. This decrease in operational cash flow was largely attributed to a significant increase in inventories to 164.41 million from 43.63 million. In addition, Tiffany posted operational losses of 12.03 million and increased prepaid expenses of 16.34 million in 2006. However, the company effectively managed its accounts payables for the year at 17.79 million, a significant change from the prior year. In addition, Tiffany increased ‘other non-cash’ items within its operations to 67.01 million.
However, some experts believe the rates have declined because the baby boomer generations are aging, so the percentage of young adults has declined. Some believe that the tougher or harsher sentences for crimes are a cause and there is evidence of this based on the increased prison populations. According to "Where Have All The Burglars Gone?" (2013), "Could more criminals being locked up be the answer? The number of people behind bars has grown substantially in many countries over the past 20 years.” (para.
The goal formally was to lose or gain no more than one out of every billion billion seconds. That is one second in about 32 billion years, and is 10 to 100 times better than any existing clocks. Already, atomic clocks have come a long way. While experimental clocks are moving ahead, a device called the NIST-F1 is the official U.S. timekeeper. It’s accurate to a few parts in 1016.
