Show how to connect the two circuit building blocks from the previous problem to create a circuit that transforms a priority-encoded input into a one-hot encoded output, where the highest-priority hot signal from the input is the hot signal in the output. For example, if the input to the circuit is WoWiWzW3W4W5W5W7 = 01101010, then the circuit should output yoy1yzysyysyy, = 00000010, because ws is the highest-numbered hot signal in the input. Additionally, your circuit should support the case where no signals are hot, i. e., if WoWiWzW3W4W5W5W7 = 00000000, then the circuit should output yoyzyzy3y4ysycyz = 00000000.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
