The manager of the XYZ manufacturing Company was so impressed with the work you did in writing the error checking code she decided to give you a larger problem to solve: The facility has four manufacturing lines that feed a central conveyor belt system that goes to the packing facility. The conveyor belt system is very durable, but it is old and inefficient. To save money, the belt is only turned on when needed. However, this is a very tedious job and the operator often forgets to turn on the belt in time and packages back up. Your boss wants you to write the code to automatically operate the conveyor. Here are the rules: If one or none of the lines are running, the conveyor belt is off. If only Lines 1 and 3 are running the conveyor is off. If only Lines 2 and 4 are running the conveyor is off. The case where only Lines 2 and 3 are running cannot occur (don’t care condition). The case where only Lines 1 and 4 are running cannot occur (don’t care condition). All other times the conveyor should be running. Use the following definitions: Inputs: L1: Is 1 if Line 1 is on, 0 if it is off. L2: Is 1 if Line 2 is on, 0 if it is off. L3: Is 1 if Line 3 is on, 0 if it is off. L4: Is 1 if Line 4 is on, 0 if it is off. Output: C: Is 1 if the conveyor belt is to be turned on, 0 if it is to be turned off. Write the minimal POS expression for when the conveyor belt should be turned on. C = [C] – Use the only the variables: L1,L2,L3,L4 – Use ‘ for NOT,+ for OR, and * or nothing for AND (i.e., L1*L3 or L1L3) – Do not use spaces – You will need to use parentheses – Each term must be in alphanumeric order (i.e., (L1+L2+L3) not (L2+L1+L3))

Jeff goes to see a Snake Farm in Cutoff, LA.  While Jeff is out sightseeing all of the different caged snakes that the Farm has to offer, one snake gets loose and slithers into the parking lot under Jeff’s truck.  The snake is able to climb up underneath Jeff’s truck and gets into the engine area.  When Jeff leaves the Snake Farm and drives away, the snake gets into his A/C system, jumps out of the A/C dashboard unit, and falls at Jeff’s feet.  Jeff is so alarmed that he jumps out of his truck.  The truck continues to drive and crashes into a forest nearby.  The crash causes the truck to ignite, which leads to a forest fire.  The fire spreads and the next day, it inflames and burns Lucia’s home in the forest.  If Lucia sues Jeff and the Snake Farm for Negligence, the lawsuit will likely fail because of:
