Mastering Animation Techniques: Motion Paths, Tweens, and Tools
Key Animation Terms
- Bone Tool: A tool used to add bones into shapes or symbols.
- Armature Layer: A layer on the Timeline that contains poses.
- Root Bone: The first bone added.
- Pose: The placement of the armature.
- Head: The beginning of the bone.
Motion Path Animation
What is motion path animation?
A type of animation that has an object follow a path on a guide layer.
What type of tween is used when making a motion path?
Classic tween.
How do you add a motion guide layer?
Right-click on a layer and select Classic

Switched Access Lines
Switched access lines are those that need to establish a call between two endpoints for communication, i.e., the lines connecting each central pole from origin to destination, e.g., a phone call. The optimization of these lines requires stations to use coral switching, i.e., the two ends together with their mechanisms.
Land Lines
Switched telephone networks are guided by a physical means, usually a twisted-pair cable with two or four copper wires. RTC serves voice and data transport.

History of Robots
Research in this area began in the 1950s, promising rapid progress. However, it stalled due to seemingly simple problems. In 1960, a robot could see a tower of cubes and copy it, but the lack of common sense led it to build the tower from the top down, releasing the blocks into the air. David Freedman, recognized as one of the best U.S. science writers, documented in his book Brain Makers two major projects under development in the area of artificial intelligence.

Key Features of the Physical Layer
The physical layer is responsible for all physical, electrical, functional, and procedural aspects of each network element. It transforms bit streams (link layer) into signals that can be transported by the physical medium and vice versa. This is necessary for data transmission between two hosts through a physical medium.
This includes cabling, connectors, and cables linking network devices, the devices themselves working at the level of electrical impulses and signals,

Operating Principle of Diesel Engines
A diesel engine works by the ignition of fuel injected into a combustion chamber containing air at a temperature above the fuel’s autoignition temperature.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Diesel Engines
The main advantage of diesel engines compared to gasoline engines is their low fuel consumption. The primary disadvantages of these engines are their higher initial price and maintenance costs.
Applications of Diesel Engines
Diesel engines are used in various applications,

Supercomputers
High-performance computers used for specific purposes that require great computing power (e.g., nuclear test simulation, simulation of natural disasters, scientific investigation). They consist of thousands of processor cores, take up large spaces, and consume significant amounts of power.
Top500 is a project responsible for developing a ranking of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Currently, the first place belongs to Fugaku (Japan)
