Description and Formal Analysis
Description: The curved line dominates the facade, which includes a ground floor, two separate five-story buildings, and a penthouse with a terrace. Each floor is separated by a ripple that runs along the entire facade, giving it a pronounced horizontality. The windows and balconies, molded with plant motifs

Conventional Ignition
Offers good performance for normal requirements (capable of generating up to 20,000 sparks per minute, i.e. it can meet the demands of a 4-cylinder engine up to 10,000 RPM, but may have issues with 6 and 8 cylinder engines). The technical implementation of the switch, subjected to heavy loads by electric current passing through the primary coil, is a compromise between the switching behavior at low rotation speed and contact bounce

B) Signs of Synchronization. For beneath the black level of them are located synchronization impulses. There are two basic types: • Synchronization dial pulses (horizontal synchronization pulses). These are sent during return line intervals and serve to indicate the transition between two lines of television. • Pulse of frame (vertical synchronization pulses). These are sent during return block intervals and serve to identify the time when a frame begins and ends.
How is the point of deflection

Carnot Refrigerator
The operating principle of refrigeration circuits is based on the reversed Carnot cycle, unlike internal combustion engines. External work extracts heat from a cold source and transfers it to a warm reservoir. A Carnot refrigeration system consists of: a condenser (hot reservoir, T1), an evaporator (heat sink, T2), a compressor (increases pressure and temperature), and an expander/turbine (decreases pressure and temperature). The four stages of the cycle are:
- The compressor, driven

1.6 Digitalization of the Signal
Digitization is the process that transforms analog signals, such as sound and video, into digital signals.
1.6.1 Analog to Digital Conversion
There are several methods, the most extended being pulse code modulation. This system digitizes the signal and transmits it by telephone line with the rest of the signals.
The original 4 kHz signal is converted into a bit stream at a speed of 64 kbit/s, consisting of three stages: sampling, quantization, and encoding.
- Sampling,

Chapter 3: Codes and Standards
The design of electrical installations is done within a legal framework. An engineering project is a technically and economically appropriate response, which complies with the standards and codes.
In Mexico, NTIE (Technical Standards for Electrical Installations) issued by the Directorate General of Standards, constitute the legal framework mentioned above.
Other standards that are not mandatory can support areas not covered by the NTIE:
- a) The NEC (National Electrical
