The aircraft, when fully equipped, cost about $14 million each to replace.
A city report estimates that the annual cost of staffing and operating a 12-studio system would be $2.7 million, plus a one-time $4.5-million 4.5-millionost, equipping rent.
This adds up to around 60 telescopes to equip, making cost an important factor in the design.
Dispatchable generators, each with a 500 kW capacity, were attached to buses 1, 3, 8, 14, 18, 26 and 29, and their associated agents were equipped with cost functions (c_i(p_i,q_i)=0.5p_i^2+0.5q_i^2).
This includes the obtrusive nature of the data collection equipment, the cost of equipping the vehicles with sophisticated Data Acquisition Systems DASS) and the challenges for data storage and analysis particularly with respect to video data.
Currently, building a reasonably equipped clinic costs more than $100,000.
A fully equipped Giulietta costs Europeans about $42,000, whereas a Dart can be had for half as much.
But a fully equipped LeSabre costs several thousand dollars less than a loaded Avalon, and Buick currently offers a $1,500 rebate, to boot.
In its early days, videoconferencing seemed to many to be more a high-tech toy than a necessary communications tool: Videoconferences could be conducted only out of specially equipped rooms costing from $250,000 to $1,000,000 or more.
The rapid advances in sensing, battery, and aeronautics technologies, together with autonomous navigation methods and equipped low-cost digital cameras have helped make UAVs more affordable, reliable, and easy to operate (Liu et al. 2014).
