well it went well I guess I could say. Thanks for the preparation leduc all that stuff about networks in this class but it wasn’t on the test.

Currently in education, those who have limited English proficiency are forced by the No Child Left Behind Act that makes kids in LEP (Limited English Proficiency) harder for them to pass these strict academic structures that they can’t do as well as proficient english speakers. Teachers want to solve this because they want LEP kids to pass these academic goals and graduate high school. The possible solutions to the problem is to use computers and programs online so kids can be more focused by themselves and don’t embaress themselves in front of their class while they are learning English. Also computers can be used if a teacher isn’t present in the class so then kids can still learn butt don’t need a teacher there all the time.

1. mask is a layer of the chip

2. The average successes rate of production or yield must be in the 90s for intelo

3. the area between the chip is called the scratch line

4. bonding machine takes pure gold wire and switches the area between the leaf frame and the chip and then it is packaged

5. leaf frames don’t actually touch the chip but are connected by the bonding machine

6. the piece of silicon has many layers

7. the silicon is usually exposed to oxygen thus forming glass on the wafer making an insulator from the glass

8. chips are strategically placed on the silicon wafer so then excess area can be removed from the chip

9. The average chip takes about four months

10. Chips today don’t use glass anymore but some sort of jelloish material

11. chips here in class were from 1994 so now these chips would be much smaller and even more transistors

12. fab has to be now 10,000,000x cleaner than an operating room

13. a grain of sugar is so much bigger than the transistors on the chip

14. 750,000 transitors can fit on the crossing spot of a human hair

15. the wires used in chips is millions of meters they are that small

16. it is hard for people to predict the demand of chips because to make a chip it takes at least 4 months

17. If each person at a fab plant is at each station a chip goes through then it would take about a month to make the chips

18. even though silicon plates don’t look that thick they have many layers and are referred to as a skyskraper because of their layers

19. 47 steps to get a bunny suit on

20. bunny suits even have a oxygen tank so not even breath can infect the chips

Aperture: an opening or a hole in the camera that lets lights in. Your iris is an aperture.

Exposure: is the amount of light and the amount of time.

Shutter: controls time that light is allowed in the camera

Stop: a measurement of adjusting the shutter speed or lens

ISO: organization that sets how sensitive film has to be. Slower the ISO = more detail

Depth of Field: the distance behind and in front of the subject that is in focus

Focal length: how close the camera is to the subject and the area that surrounds the subject. IF you are closer to the subject you will not see the extra stuff in the background and if you have a wide lens you will get more of the shot

wide: a lens that is 35mm for less decreases subject size

normal: has a focal lens of 35mm to 65mm. an angle of view that resembles the human eye

telephoto: a focal lense of 65mm greater. gives a narrow point of view

field of view: the degree/angle of vision that can be seen through the camera

I just finished my brochure, it looks so beautiful. I made some last minute changes, like formatting, I had to change the font and also the size of the text boxes. I had printing problems but in the end I finally had it print and now it looks nice so I can’t complain. I asked my classmates what they thought of my brochure and amy and taisheng, both students in gentech, said that the brochure looked nice and that i need to learn how to fold better than for this brochure. Now that I am done i just need to fix a few things and i can say that i am done.
