HKN
100
This type of memory retains its contents even when power is turned off
Non-volatile memory
100
What the acronym "ASIC" stands for
Application Specific Integrated Circuit
100
A primitive data type that can hold whole numbers, not fractions
What is int?
100
This frequency is the highest that can reasonably be measured at a given sample rate (theorem)
Nyquist frequency
100
Name 3 current UT HKN Officers
(Any)
200
The programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s
C
200
This circuit's name
What is low pass filter?
200
An algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. The algorithm starts at the root node (selecting some arbitrary node as the root node in the case of a graph) and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking
What is DFS?
200
This type of plot is commonly used for graphing the frequency response of a system in magnitude and phase
Bode plot
200
The HKN emblem
What is Wheatstone bridge?
300
This computer architecture has a simple instruction set often with fixed-length instructions, excels in embedded systems, and its acronym starts with 'R'
What is RISC?
300
This logic gate has an output of 1 only if both inputs are 0
NOR
300
A program that translates a source program written in some high-level programming language into machine code
What is a Compiler?
300
This transform is an integral transformation of a function, f(t), from the time domain into the complex frequency domain, F(s)
Laplace Transform
300
The three pillars of HKN
What is Scholarship, Character, and Attitude?
400
This is what VHDL stands for
VHSIC (very high-speed integrated circuit) Hardware Description Language
400
This circuit element stores electrical energy in a magnetic field
Inductor
400
A graph search algorithm that finds the shortest path between two nodes in a graph. It starts with the source node and works its way to the destination node. For each new node discovered, it calculates the shortest path to the destination node using the currently known distances.
What is Dijkstra's?
400
This function states that any non-sinusoidal periodic function can be expressed as an infinite sum of sinusoidal functions
Fourier series
400
The year that the UT Chapter of HKN was founded
1928
500
An architecture model that is based on the stored-program computer concept, where instruction data and program data are stored in the same memory.
What is Von Neumann?
500
If the roots of the characteristic equation of a second-order circuit are both negative and real during transient analysis, this is the kind of system response it will have
Overdamped response
500
This deep learning architecture is based on the multi-head attention mechanism and was proposed in 2017
Transformer
500
This converts a discrete time signal into a complex valued frequency domain representation
Z-transform
500
What was eaten for HKN smoker last semester (Fall 2023) at the Telangs? Name any dish
Pasta, Roasted Vegetables, Garlic Bread, etc.
