BUS 5017 Blockchain and Financial Technology for Managers For this task, you must produce an opportunity analysis in the format of a business report. The analysis must identify a specific organisational process or problem that could be profitably transformed and improved by using a FinTech or Blockchain application. You should base your answer on a real-world business or industry. (You may choose an organisation from the “for profit” business, public or charity sector. It is important that you choose a specific business process, e.g., accounting procedures, supply chain management, human resource systems, etc., and not the entire organisation, as the basis of your assignment.) You will need to research the chosen business and industry; it is acceptable to use an organisation that you have worked for. The report must cover the following areas: A) An introductory section that covers equally: -A concise introduction to the business and industry that it sits in. -An outline and diagnosis of the business problem or process that could be transformed by a Blockchain or Fintech application An outline and discussion of the proposed business solution that equally focuses upon: An outline of the proposed application including potential usage of cryptocurrencies The benefits of the application (In this section, it is important that you refer to appropriate literature and comparative case examples to support your proposal. You should consider whether cryptocurrencies can be incorporated into the proposal.

In this assignment, students are required to Understand the hardware elements of a typical FPGA; Analyze a hardware design problem and produce suitable design solution using state machine design, and practice with hardware description language; Simulate the behavior of the circuit; Synthesize and verify the design for FPGA Design the system with signal from sensors and actuators. Analyze a hardware design problem and produce suitable design solution using microcontroller and human/physical interfaces. Write program using assembly language for the microcontroller. Learning Outcomes Assessed LO1 Evaluate digital system design and integration including ALUs and FSMs. LO2 Design, simulate, test and implement programmable logic based systems using VHDL. LO3 Design and implement microprocessor based analogue and digital systems. LO4 Design peripheral components for digital and analogue systems power supplies, bus structures, memories and interfacing/signal processing circuits. This assignment will assess elements of the above learning outcomes. Coursework Specification This coursework contains parts. Part A: (30%) In this part, you are required to design a washing machine controller (WMC) using a Finite State Machine (FSM). The machine follows the sequences through the following 4 stages: Soak è Wash è Rinse è Spin To simplify your design, you can assume the transition between two stages is achieved by pressing one push button. You can also use some of the LEDs as the indicator for the current stage. Finally, your design should be simulated in Xilinx VIVADO software using VHDL. Part B: (50 %) You are required to re-design your washing machine controller (WMC) using a Finite State Machine to achieve a more complex system. As a minimum requirement, the machine follows the sequences through the following 4 stages: Soak è Wash è Rinse è Spin There is a “double wash” switch, which, if turned on, leads to a second wash and rinse cycle to occur. In other words, the “double wash” switch causes the following 6-stage sequence: Soak è Wash èRinse è Wash è Rinse èSpin The amount of time for each stage is as below: Soak: 1sec; Wash: 3sec; Rinse: 5sec. You should use the 100 MHz clock signal as the clock signal of your state machine to control the     timing of cycling, and to display the time on the 7-segment display units. You should implement the design in Xilinx VIVADO and simulate and verify the functionalities. Use some of the 8 LEDs as the indicator of the current stage. Also you can use push buttons to simulate laundry token deposition and the “double wash” switch. You are encouraged to improve your design to build a more realistic washing machine controller. For example, in practice, for safety consideration, if the lid of the machine is raised during the spin stage, the machine needs to stop spinning immediately until the lid is closed. The on-board switch needs to be selected and used as the input to start/stop the Washing machine. Add more functions to your design such as temperature sensor and control, level sensor and control, washing load selection, different washing programs, etc. You are encouraged to research the technical details of different sensors, actuators, motor signals, and their control and interfaces. You should design the washing machine controller in VHDL. Part C (20%): You are required to re-design your washing machine controller (WMC) using an embedded PicoBlaze microcontroller together with the signal from sensors and actuators. You are required to implement your design by writing program for the microcontroller with the Assembly language. Your design should be simulated in      the Xilinx VIVADO software. The washing machine controller should include the following functions: The machine follows the sequences through the following 4 4 LEDs should be used to indicate the current stage of the washing machine. Soak è Wash è Rinse è Spin Actuator: the actuator is a single-phase motor, which will be used to drive the turbo drum in the washing machine in The microcontroller outputs the driving signal and feeds to driver circuit and then to the motor. The motor should be controlled as below: Soak stage: the motor stops for 5 Wash stage: the motor keep rotating for 10 sec with a spin in one direction and a speed of 800 rpm. Afterwards, it stops for 3 seconds and then resumes rotation in opposite This loops for 3 minutes in total. Rinse stage: the motor keep rotating for 30 seconds with a spin in one direction and a speed of 1000 Spin stage: the motor keep rotating for 1minute with a spin in one direction and a speed of 2000 Sensor and display: In this project, you should include the speed sensor interfaced to the Microcontroller reads the speed of the motor and display on the 7-seg display. When the lid is open, the system should not work. If door is accidentally opened in between washing operations, then the system should stop working in minimum possible time (<3s). Suitable type of switch needs to be selected and used as the input to start/stop the Washing You are encouraged to improve your design to build a more realistic washing machine controller. Hand-In Requirements Once you have completed the designs, prepare for the submission process. You are required to submit a one coursework report and the project files. Wherein, your project source files should allow the tutor to reproduce the simulation results you show in the report. The report should be less than 15 pages (excluding cover page and table of contents), including the followings. A description of your You may consider to use a hierarchical method to break the project into a set of smaller modules which you can eventually put together to

Part 1 Submit: Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article This week, you will submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest. Quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research. An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10. An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation. Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation. Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance.  It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.  Use the Walden library databases to search for one quantitativeLinks to an external site. research article from a peer-reviewedLinks to an external site. journal on a topic of your interest.
