Section I - Listening Comprehension

1.1 Multiple Choice Questions

A helicopter is able to fly because of the effect of the main rotor. The main rotor is the blade set
on the top of the craft, and it is driven by the engine (piston, jet turbine, etc.). By turning the
blades, which are airfoils and like a narrow "wing" in shape, we move them through the air. And
by "tipping" the leading edge of the blade up (increasing the pitch) as it moves, the blade will
have a positive angle of attack. It will bite into the air and force that air down. This forces the
blades up, and the rotor will provide lift. Lift causes the craft to defy gravity.

The torque of the main rotor on a helicopter that has just one main rotor will have to be offset,
and the tail rotor will do this. Additionally, the tail rotor (or air turbine in the NOTAR helicopter)
will also allow the craft to be turned and "pointed" in another direction. The pedals control the
tail rotor or air turbine. By pushing the stick to the side (and adding a bit more pitch with the
cyclic), the blades can be controlled to allow a bit more lift on one side to tip or bank the
chopper and turn it. (A bit more pitch is added to offset the slight loss of lift.) The pedals will
also be used in conjunction with the stick. By pushing the stick left, the blades will have a bit
more pitch as they come around on the right side and a bit less as they come around on the left
side. This will bank and turn the helicopter.

Pushing the stick forward causes more pitch to the blades as they come around the back of the
circle they make around the craft. This lifts the back of the craft. And it will make for a bit less
pitch in the front for a bit less lift in front. This tips the craft forward. Often when we see a
helicopter taking off, it rises a bit, tips forward (now that the rotors will clear the ground), and
accelerates forward as it continues to rise. The pilot has pulled up on the collective (to increase
the pitch of the main rotor blades). That provided lift. He also has to push forward on the cyclic
to tip the helicopter forward to begin to gather forward airspeed.

1.2 Gap Filling:

Calligraphy (from Greek) is a type of visual art. It is often called the art of writing. A
contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is "the art of giving form to signs in an
expressive, harmonious and skillful manner". The story of writing is one of aesthetic
evolution framed within the technical skills, transmission speed(s) and material limitations of
a person, time and place. Modern calligraphy ranges from functional hand lettered
inscriptions and designs to fine art pieces where the abstract expression of the handwritten
mark may or may not supersede the legibility of the letters.

 QUESTION PAPER 7

The ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) is one of the three sectors (divisions or units) of
the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is responsible for radio communication.
Its role is to manage the international radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbit resources
and to develop standards for radiocommunications systems with the objective of ensuring the
effective use of the spectrum. ITU is required, according to its Constitution, to allocate
spectrum and register frequency assignments, orbital positions and other parameters of
satellites, in order to avoid harmful interference between radio stations of different countries.

The international spectrum management system is therefore based on regulatory procedures

for frequency coordination, notification and registration. ITU-R has a permanent secretariat, the
Radiocommunication Bureau, based at the ITU HQ in Geneva, Switzerland. The elected Director
of the Bureau is Mr. Valery Timofeev of Russia. First elected by the ITU Membership to the
Directorship in 2002, Mr. Timofeev was re-elected for a 2nd 4-year term in November 2006. The
CCIRComite consultatif international pour la radio, "Consultative Committee on International
Radio" or "International Radio Consultative Committee"was founded in 1927. In 1932 the
CCIR and several other organizations (including the original ITU, which had been founded as
the became the ITU-R.

1) The ITU-R is responsible for ________.

a) Random Navigation

b) Radio Communication

c) RADAR

d) Radiation Activity

2) Who was re-elected for a 2nd 4-year term in November 2006?

a) Mr. Johnson

b) Mr. Boris Yeltsin

c) Mr. Timofeev

d) Mr. Putin

3) The ________ is based on regulatory procedures for frequency coordination, notification

and registration.

a) International Spectrum Management System

b) International Satellite Management System

c) International Software Management System

d) International Simulation Management System

2.2 Multiple Choice Questions:

Visual FoxPro is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming language produced

by Microsoft. It is derived from FoxPro (originally known as FoxBASE) which was developed by
Fox Software beginning in 1984. Fox Technologies merged with Microsoft in 1992, after which
the software acquired further features and the prefix "Visual". The last version of FoxPro (2.6)
worked under Mac OS, DOS, Windows, and Unix: Visual FoxPro 3.0, the first "Visual" version,
dropped the platform support to only Mac and Windows, and later versions were Windows-only.
The current version of Visual FoxPro is COM-based and Microsoft has stated that they do not
intend to create a Microsoft .NET version. FoxPro originated as a member of the class of
languages commonly referred to as "xBase" languages, which have syntax based on the dBase
programming language. Other members of the xBase language family include Clipper and
Recital. Visual FoxPro, commonly abbreviated as VFP, is tightly integrated with its own relational
database engine, which extends FoxPro's xBase capabilities to support SQL query and data
manipulation.

Unlike most database management systems, Visual FoxPro is a full-featured, dynamic

programming language that does not require the use of an additional general-purpose
programming environment. It can be used to write not just traditional "fat client" applications,
but also middleware and web applications. In late 2002, it was demonstrated that Visual FoxPro
can run on Linux under the Wine Windows compatibility suite. In 2003, this led to complaints by
Microsoft: it was claimed that the deployment of runtime FoxPro code on non-Windows
machines violates the End User License Agreement. In December 2005, VFP broke into the top
20 on TIOBE's Programming Community Index for the first time. In March 2007 it was at
position 19, making it a "B" language, and as of August 7, 2007 it dropped into position 22. In
March 2007, Microsoft announced that there will be no VFP 10, thus making VFP9 (released to
manufacturing on December 17, 2004) the last commercial VFP release from Microsoft. The
support of Version 9 is ongoing with service packs that were released December 8, 2005 and
October 11, 2007.
