CAD/CAM

Computer Aided Design

The design of components, cars, buildings etc using computers:

Graphics tablets can be used to create the drawing

Intelligent software

Embedded systems

A computer system that is dedicated to one task.

Usually a microprocessor embedded into the object.

Examples are mobile phones, ipods, microwaves etc.

Control software held in ROM

Control software is used to give instructions to automated machiners (eg. robots).

It is known as ROM software and is burnt onto ROM chips so that it cannot be altered.

Altering the software might cause the machinery to malfunction causing loss of thousands of pounds or even causing an accident.
