This may be the students' first experience with Tricubes, so the early questions are to familiarise them with measurements related to them. The volume of a Tricube doesn't change. It is always 3 unit cubes. The surface area doesn't change either. It is always 14 unit squares. However the base area changes depending on how the object is placed on the table. If you want students to explore these measurements further then at some stage they should try Task 193, Surface Area with Tricubes. (It is possible to stand the Tricube so it has a surface area of zero. Try standing it to make an 'arch'.)

The challenge in this problem really begins with Questions 6 & 7. Putting four Tricubes together to make a 'tricube' is not necessarily straightforward for some students, especially after making their own shapes in Question 5, but they will get it eventually. However, what they make with four Tricubes is not really a Tricube. One dimension has not been doubled, so it is not proportional, or alternatively, not made from three cubes in the same sense as a Size 1 Tricube is.

The Size 2 Tricube actually looks like this:

It shows that 8 Tricubes make a Tricube

But now we have a new Tricube. So what do we know? We know 8 Tricubes make a Tricube and that leads us to the next size, Size 4.

The task doesn't supply enough Tricubes to make this - let's face it, 64 Tricubes wouldn't fit in the bag - but they do have enough to make one 'slice' and hence imagine the Size 4 object.

Imagining the next size can lead to significant brain-ache. It will be Size 8 and will have eight slices. The length and width (or, using the photo, length and height) will be doubled, so just one slice would need 64 Tricubes. Students might like to join a pages of square dot paper together and try to sketch out a bird's eye view of how they would fit together to make the slice. Or they might cut out Trisquares and build the same view in a similar way to the student work in Task 238, Growing Trisquares.

So clearly there is a visual pattern here. And wherever there is a visual pattern there will be a number pattern and vice versa. For each size of Tricube (placed as on the card) its base perimeter, base area, surface area, number of unit Tricubes, or volume in unit cubes can be counted. Choosing whichever of these is appropriate to you students will produce one of the columns in this table.

Younger students can find number patterns going down (although Surface Area is a bit tricky). Older students can find number pairs where the first number is S, for Size, and depending on which column it is paired with the result will be a linear, quadratic or cubic function.

The table also begs the question: What happened to Size 3?.

It suggests that if Size 3 did exist, it would need 27 Tricubes to make it. So students again don't have enough Tricubes to make the object. Or do they... with a little imagination combined with some mathematics?

If the Size 3 can be made the 27 Tricubes might be equally distributed among the three cubic sections of it. That would mean nine Tricubes per section. Nine Tricubes have a volume of 27 unit cubes and 27 is a cube number. The students do have enough Tricubes to find out whether or not nine Tricubes can make a cube. And if they can, then it must be possible to make the Size 3 Tricube in at least one way.

And there are other ways to make Size 3. For example:

Now there is reason to expand the table ... and for those with graphic calculators (or graph paper will do) to do a little interpolation. Extrapolation too, for the next questions are surely about Sizes 5, 6 & 7 which might exist between Sizes 4 and 8.

Understanding the functionality of smart card reader is crucial for security system, business and identity proof.

The Definition of Smart Card Reader.

A smart card is a type of chip card that contains a built-in computer chip that can either be a memory or microprocessor type. Its two main functions is to store and transact data.

The data is stored and processed within the card’s chip. It is also can be transacted via a smart card reader, which is part of its computing system.

Today, industries that are equipped with smart cards varied across many key applications. It includes healthcare, banking, entertainment and transportation.

Applications of smart card

In the beginning, smart card was introduced as a stored value tool for payphones to prevent theft.

As technology advances, smart cards evolve into many forms. From visiting libraries, buying groceries, attending movies and taking a bus ride, smart cards have been influential in many parts of our daily life.

Benefits of smart card

Smart card provides plenty of advantages to people. It improves the convenience and security of any transaction. The data stored are highly secured without interference.

That is the reason why smart card systems are more reliable than other machine-readable cards, such as barcode and magnetic stripe.

Additionally, the smart card also contributes to vital components of system security for data exchange.

Regardless of the type of virtual network, the data exchange is secured against security threats, ranging from careless storage of user passwords to highly sophisticated system hacks.

Besides, multifunction cards are applied to manage a variety of data. It can manage network system access and stored value as well as data.

Nowadays, people are using smart cards of various daily tasks, which include:

• Stored value

A smart card can be used to store value, especially for loyalty programs that provide an incentive to customers. Stored value is more convenient and safer than cash.

Smart card application helps to locate and track all the data. It varies widely for numerous applications, such as transportation, parking, gaming, retail and entertainment.

• Securing assets

A smart card can ensure high security for services and equipment by restricting access to only authorized users. It can act as keys to certain areas or places.

It is very applicable for rooms that contain valuable assets and sensitive equipment to use a smart card as it provides access only for the smart card holder.

• Physical access

It is prevalent that companies and universities provide identity cards for their employees and students.

These smart cards act as multifunction cards that incorporate identity with access privileges. Sometimes, it also store financial values for payments in locations such as cafeterias and shops.

By using the identity cards, these individuals are also granted access to certain data, equipment and departments according to their status in the organizations.

• E-commerce

Online shopping made easy with the use of a smart card. It helps to secure and store information for purchasing without too much hassle.

Smart card carries personal information that can be accessed with a mouse click instead of filling out forms.

Moreover, smart card is also able to manage and control expenditures with automatic limits and reporting.

• Bank-issued smart cards

Visa, MasterCard and American Express are three well known bank-issued smart cards available today. These cards provide highly secured transactions through improved security.

Two-factor authentication ensures protections of data and value stored.

Smart card readers

As it names implies, smart cards operate and communicate with smart card readers to obtain card information and perform a transaction.

Tricube Mac Os Update

When the smart card and the smart card reader come in contact, it identifies each other by sending and receiving information.

If the information exchanged does not match, no further processing takes place.

There are two types of smart card readers:

• Contact

A contact smart card reader requires a physical connection to the cards. The contact is made by inserting the card into the reader.

This is the most common reader type for applications like identity card and stored value.

• Contactless

A contactless smart card reader works with a radio frequency that communicates when the card comes close to the reader.

This type of reader is designed for payment, physical access control and transportation applications. Just a tap and you are good to go.
