Read the following work proposal from Writing Effective Work Proposals by Ted Knoy for an electrical engineering-related (電子相關分類) project:

 

Consumer demand for hard disc bandwidth has significantly

[                         ( i )

increased in recent years owing to the large size of files and

 

increased disc size. However, the conventional interface for

                    ] [                    ( ii )

hard discs cannot easily support such a high bandwidth and

 

demands many pin counts to support such a requirement. The

                                                             ] [

conventional interface requires 28 pins and can only support 133

                           ( iii )

MHz bandwidth. Consequently, the failure rate in

 

manufacturing exceeds 5% when the conventional interface

 

must support 150 MHz bandwidths. Doing so prevents the

                                     ] [

integration of many functions into a chip with limited pin counts

                          ( iv )

because the conventional interface requires many pins, but also

 

makes commercialization impossible.    Based on the above, we

                                      ]  [

should develop a novel connecting interface for hard discs for

                        ( v )

supporting up to 150 MHz bandwidth and minimizing the

 

number of pins to four. To do so, this novel connecting interface

                        ]  [

with serial transmitting and receiving lines can be used to

                          ( vi )

facilitate communication between system and hard disc. The

 

serial interfaces can then be used to eliminate the cross talk

 

between transmitted and received data, discovered in

 

conventional interfaces, and can easily support bandwidths of up

 

to 150 MHz. Next, the minimal pin requirement can be satisfied

 

using the serial interfaces. As anticipated, the novel serial

                           ]  [

interface can facilitate robust communication between system

                            ( vii )

and hard disc and easily support up to 150 MHz bandwidths.

 

Moreover, the proposed interface can allow chipset vendors to

 

integrate more functions into one chip than they did before. In

                                                               ]  [

addition to making a high performance hard disc commercially

                          ( viii )

feasible, the proposed interface can be easily upgraded in the

 

future.
