With the integration of RF, Analog, and Digital components on the same substrate, there are many new design challenges facing the IC designers. These includes design of low-noise circuits, minimization of noise coupling from Digital to RF and mixed-Signal, design issues related to baseband coupling to RF, and many other design challenges. The mixed-signal circuits in a wireless transceiver is a bridge between the RF circuits and the baseband digital signal processing. As such they tend to overlap two disciplines and can often be the weak link in a system definition. The set of talks in this tutorial will cover the design of mixed-signal IC for the receiver, transmitter, and auxiliary functions required in a wireless transceiver . Consideration will be given to the system requirements, technology requirements, and testing.
Noise is a severe limitation and a significant challenge in achieving the System-on-a-chip total integration (analog, RF, digital, and memory, all on the same chip), and generally for any mixed-signal circuit. Technology, circuit, and physical design aspects related to
the substrate noise problem in mixed-signal circuits are discussed in this presentation. brief extension is made to the substrate noise problem in low-voltage circuits.

A SIM Box, short for Subscriber Identity Module Box, is a device used to route international calls through a large number of local SIM cards.
It enables individuals or entities to take advantage of lower local call rates and avoid international call charges. SIM Boxes are often used for fraudulent purposes, such as bypassing international call tariffs, and can be associated with illegal activities like voice call termination (VoIP fraud).
SIM Box Detection:
SIM Box Detection refers to the methods and technologies used to identify and locate SIM Boxes in a telecommunications network.
Detection mechanisms aim to identify instances where international calls are being terminated locally through SIM Boxes, allowing service providers to take appropriate action to prevent fraud and enforce network regulations. Detection may involve analyzing call patterns, monitoring traffic, and using specialized tools to pinpoint the presence of SIM Boxes.
SIM Farms, also known as SIM Banks or SIM Hosting, involve the centralized management of a large number of SIM cards.
These SIM cards are often hosted in a controlled environment, and they can be remotely programmed and controlled. SIM Farms are used for legitimate purposes, such as testing and quality assurance in the telecommunications industry. However, they can also be exploited for fraudulent activities, including SIM card cloning, SMS fraud, and other illicit uses.
These terms are associated with telecommunications and often involve regulatory and security concerns. SIM Box fraud, in particular, can impact the revenue of telecom operators and compromise the integrity of their networks. Detection methods and preventative measures are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with the illicit use of SIM Boxes and SIM Farms.”

The aim of this page is to help beginners and experts alike become familiar with all the various features that a multimeter has. If you’re an expert, perhaps you will find the most value by skipping through to the sections that you find relevant. But if you’re a beginner or just getting started with electronics hopefully this guide can teach you some things about using a multimeter to measure current, resistance, voltage and much more.
Why Use a Multimeter?
For a start, a multimeter is simply a measurement tool mostly used in electronics, or by tradesman and electricians. It has several important features such as; measuring voltage, ohms and amps. If you work with circuits, you’ll know that these are important measurements that can give you valuable information about the work you’re doing. If a circuit isn’t working you’ll need a multimeter to figure out why it’s not working, and locate where the problem is.
Some of the most obvious applications for these features:
- Checking is the battery alive?
- Is enough current flowing through this wire?
- Is the power switch functioning correctly?
Different types of Multimeters
Most multimeters that you can find on the market will support all of the features listed above. However, not all products are created equal. There’s also a huge variety in the amount that they cost, from budget up to very expensive high quality models. If all you need is those basic functions, then you won’t have to spend much money – if you go for the cheaper option though, you’re device will not be so accurate at measuring voltage. Which is okay if you don’t need 100% precision for the job that you’re doing. Some jobs, particularly working with circuits on computers and similar devices will require pinpoint accuracy – in which case a fluke multimeter might be the best option for you.

LLRBTree is an open source project to implement a variant of Red-Black trees, the Left-Leaning Red-Black (LLRB) tree. A LLRB tree implements the original design goals of Red-Black trees and produces code for insertion and deletion operations, while maintaining a balanced-tree, that is much simpler and faster than many of the solutions currently popular for Binary Search Trees (BST). The algorithm employed is based on an original algorithm developed by Robert Sedgewick, at Princeton University.
The goal of this project is to produce a realization of the algorithm in the form of static and dynamic libraries for use in as many programming languages as possible.

The group has an Analytical Chemistry Summer Studentship available funded by the Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund on Radiation Damage Studies on Halide Perovskite Solar Cell Materials. The project will be hosted in the Department of Chemistry at UCL and Prajna Bhatt will lead this as the day-to-day supervisor.
The summer studentship aims to uncover the effect of X-ray irradiation on perovskite-related structures, at the forefront of research in photovoltaic and X-ray detection applications. It will focus on understanding radiation damage mechanisms and to develop mitigation strategies. The project will involve synthesis of powdered perovskite materials and their chemical state, composition and crystal structure will be characterised before and after in-situ irradiation by a combinative approach of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These results will be correlated with similar work on single crystals of these materials in order to understand radiation damage in both single crystals as well as polycrystalline powders. We will use high-resolution laboratory-based soft XPS to collect core and valence band spectra and iterative measurements will be employed to explore radiation sensitivity of the materials and to limit radiation damage.
The summer studentship will run for eight weeks starting on 12th June and the student will receive a weekly stipend of £395.00 for the duration of the studentship.
If you are interested in this position, please contact Anna via email by the 1st of May 2023, including a CV and short statement on why you would like to get involved in this project.


IMMEDIATE SAVING SOLUTIONS FOR THE POWER INVOICE BY ADAPTING EXISTING LUMINARIES TO HIGH YIELD LED TECHNOLOGY:
When it is not convenient to change the old luminaire by a new one with LED technology, LEDSOL SL offer the possibility to adapt the existing mercury or sodium vapout luminaire to the LED technology. It results in a very inexpensive solution that allows energy savings.
This adaptation has three remarkable advantages:
- Reduces the electrical consumption in MORE THAN 60%, going from powers of 125 W – 250 W to 30 W – 40 W.
- Eliminates the luminic contamination of the higher hemisphere, with values FHS below 1%, specially serious in GLOBE type luminaires.
- It is respectful with the environment, as the power reduction means a lower CO2 EMISSION to the atmosphere.


Thousands of homeowners experience an electrical fire in their home every year; resulting in millions of dollars in property damage. Experiencing an electrical fire in your home is devastating since most items lost are simply irreplaceable. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t even realize their home is at risk of an electrical fire. Misso Electric is here to talk about electrical fire safety and the steps you can take to safeguard your home.
What is Unsafe Electrical Wiring?
On average, the lifespan of an electrical system is about 30-40 years. Obviously, many people live in homes that are much older than this. It is important you have your electrical system inspected to ensure it is up to code and not damaged. If your home was built between 1960-1970, it was most likely wired with aluminum wiring which can become dangerous over the years. Aluminum wiring oxidizes and corrodes much faster than copper wiring and become a fire risk. You may not need the entire electrical system upgraded, but a qualified electrician can assist you in fixing potential problems.
Inspect AC & Furnace
You may not realize this, but 20% of house fires are caused by the homeowner’s furnace or air conditioning systems. This is why these appliances should be inspected and maintained regularly. There is debris and other contaminants that restrict airflow and gather outside the unit. Belts, bearings and motors should be properly maintained to ensure they are working properly and aren’t a fire hazard. If your systems are working harder than they should, they could likely overheat and cause a fire.
How Often Should Electrical Panels Be Inspected?
Many homes that were built long ago were built to handle 30 amps of power. Today, it is likely your home is expected to handle 100-200 amps of power with new appliances and other electronics. If your home isn’t capable of handling at least 200 amps of power, it needs to be updated to keep you safe and that starts with the electrical panel. How often you get your electrical system inspected depends on how old your home is, how many appliances you have in it and other factors. Most electricians recommend every 3 – 5 years.
Install GFCI Outlets
Have you ever noticed that some outlets may have a button that you can push to reset the power? These are known as GFCI outlets or ground fault circuit interrupters. If there is a difference in the outflow or inflow of electricity the outlet is tripped to safeguard you from electrical shock. You will commonly see these in the bathroom as well as the kitchen since they are recommended for outlets near appliances and water. Homes that are equipped with GFCI outlets are less likely to experience an electrical fire.

Computer networks are used to share information. With a network, you can open a document from a computer in the next room or view a Web page from another continent. You can grab movie clips or music from remote sites and play them on your computer. You can even participate in real-time discussions, multi-user games, or conferences. Web applications and some practice, using a computer network isn’t much more complicated than using a telephone.
How Computer Network Begun
- Computer networking as it is today didn’t just drop from the sky, fully configured and ready to run. In fact, it all started out rather messy.
- Computer networks came about as an afterthought. Mainframes, which are large, multi-user computers, were the computers used by corporations. The first computers for home use were Apple Computers and IBM-compatible PC’s designed for personal use.
Companies that created these computers were slow to create products to connect their computers together on a network, so the U.S. government came up with the solution that would allow internetworking of the different kinds of networks
Pieces of a Network
- NETWORK MEDIA. Evey network requires some physical medium for transporting information from one point to another. Those media often consist of cables, though they also can be airwaves that carry satellite or other wireless transmissions.
Modems are used to communicate greater distances over telephone lines or over direct cabling to connect to Wide Area Networks. To pass data between multiple networks, special pieces of equipment called routers are used.
NIC is the access point from your computer to the LAN; it handles sending and receiving data and provides a place to plug in the network cable. A hub provides a central location for connecting together a group of computers on a LAN. A switch provides a means of connecting together multiple hubs and/or individual computers in a way that allows the network to still perform efficiency.
- NETWORK PROTOCOLS. Network know how to transmit data, manage the flow of information, and find destination computers that could be thousands of miles away. That networks use what we called protocols.
Protocols are sets of rules for managing data. They define when each side of a communication can send and receive data and how errors are dealt with. Protocols must also understand addresses, so they know whether to give the data they receive to an application program or to pass it on to the next destination on the network.
- NETWORK APPLICATIONS work by requesting a service from another computer on the network. The application that requests a service is referred to as a client. The program on the other computer that receives the request is referred to as a server.


The desired outcome from this project was to reduce the number of acute admissions of patients with atrial flutters as well as study the possibility of replacing the monitoring during admissions to the hospital with monitoring at home.
The method was the so-called “e-patch”, that was named ePatch®, which was able to perform wireless measurings of the cardiac rhythm in the patients’ private homes, making admissions to the hospital unnecessary.
The project consisted of two phases. The aim of the first phase of the project (2009-2012) was to develop an operational prototype, which would replace the monitoring during admission to the hospital with home monitoring. This would provide the patients with a greater feeling of freedom and release resources at the hospital.
By continuous measurings directly on the body in the home of the patient, the hospital can retrieve critical data through both stethoscopy and cardiac rhythm. The measurings provide continuous indications of deterioration and allow endeavours early on. Furthermore, the patient is given a better insight into the disease and is involved in both diagnosis and treatment.
The first phase included development and testing of the technology at Odense University Hospital and demonstrating the aspired effect – clinically and financially – without reducing the patient’s experience of their course.
Phase two consisted of large clinical testings for the validation of the potential of the technology and the initiation of working with implementing the ePatch® in the daily operations of the hospital as a permanent offer for the citizens that need to be monitored for possible atrial flutters.
Mette Maria Skjøth
The first phase ended in 2012. Phase two is still working on the analyses.
ePatch® is a form of large, electronic patch that is carried on the body. Censors in the patch meassure and send data to a portable recipient, which sends data to the systems of the hospital. All in all, the patch functions exactly like a regular heart monitor electrode – just wireless.
The first phase of the project was funded by DKK22.8 mio by the ABT Fund (now: Fonden for Velfærdsteknologi), which was distributed to the firm of Delta Electronics, who developed the ePatch® technology i collaboration with heart specialists at the hospital and innovation consultants from CIMT.
The second phase of the project was funded by Fornyelsesfonden (now: Markedsmodningsfonden) and means from the [email protected] project.

Graphene Shoes – The Footwear Of The Future
In its simplest form, graphene is a single, thin substance derived from graphite. This 2D carbon allotrope is one of the most versatile compounds on earth. It’s incredibly light and remarkably strong. Apart from that, it’s one of the best conductors of electricity and heat, which means it can be it can be used in various applications. Also, graphene is transparent and flexible. It’s also impermeable to most liquids and gases. In fact, it appears as if it can excel in all areas.
So, how did this miraculous substance came into being? Well, humans have been using graphite for many decades. And for many years, scientists wondered whether they could isolate a single layer of graphite, and then examine its properties from a different perspective. Until then, this was just a mere theory, and most scientists believed it’s not achievable.
However, in 2004, Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim of the University of Manchester discovered the first isolated graphene sample. You might think that they used some state-of-the-art equipment to extract the single layer of graphite. On the contrary, they only used something simple – a single roll of scotch tape. Their research was eventually published, and they were both awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for their great discovery. Due to its remarkable properties, graphene has a wide range of applications. They include:
What other product that we use every day wears out faster than shoes? It’s a constant struggle to ensure we’ve got good protection on our feet to make sure that we can walk around and do stuff all day long. Depending on how you use your shoes, they’ll either last you a long time or they’ll wear out fast. If you stand up on them at work all day, every day, then they’ll wear out fast. If you also happen to be overweight, they’ll also wear out faster. If you’re running on them, rather than just walking, this will also make them wear out faster.
Thanks to the great properties of graphene, our footwear of the future is going to last a significantly longer time. You probably think that graphene shoes is some far off future fantasy, but nothing could be farther from the truth. As a matter of fact, they are on the market right now. There is a company called Inov-8, who, as you may have guessed from the name, take particular pride in being innovative. Inov-8 creates running shoes with graphene in them, that will make them laster 1.5 times longer than a regular sneaker. If you’re a frequent jogger that likes to jog around the block a few times per week, then this means you’ll go from having to replace your shoes every year to replacing them every year and a half. If you’re a marathon runner, it means you’ll go from replacing your shoes every half year to replacing them every 9 months.
As you can see, it’ll make quite the difference. Especially if the graphene shoes aren’t particularly more expensive than other shoes. And they aren’t. If you take a look at Inov-8 graphene shoes on Amazon, you’ll see that they are roughly equally as expensive as non-graphene, high quality running shoes. Inov-8 states that their shoes not only last 50% longer, but also that they are 50% stronger and 50% stretchier. Quite frankly, I’m amazed that everybody hasn’t already switched to wearing Inov-8, or that other manufacturers aren’t yet using graphene to construct their own footwear yet. But I’m betting it’s only a matter of time.
I’ll bet that graphene is not only going to be a niche material for running shoes, either. It’s not even limited to footwear only, so it would be naive to think it’s only going to be used for running shoes. All types of footwear wear out. Think about footwear for working standing jobs or even every day fashion boots. The options for using graphene to better footwear are limitless, really. You’d think footwear manufacturers would want people to keep wearing out their footwear so they can keep selling them replacements. But it only takes one manufacturer with the willingness to break this pattern, in this case Inov-8, and the rest will eventually be forced to compete, because the consumer will at some point only be interested in graphene shoes. So now matter how you slice it, there is no stopping the future. We are truly living in exciting times!
Graphene will definitely play a significant role in the world of bioengineering. However, before it can be used, some hurdles need to be overcome. According to current estimations, graphene will only become fully applicable in bioengineering from 2030. Before it can be used, scientists have to test various aspects concerning its compatibility. For instance, it has to undergo numerous clinical, regulatory and safety trials before approval. All these trials will consume a considerable amount of time. However, considering its great properties, it will significantly revolutionize this industry once it becomes fully operational. Considering that it offers high electrical conductivity, a larger surface area, as well as strength and thinness, it can be used to make efficient and fast bioelectric sensory devices, which are capable of monitoring a wide range of things in the body such as hemoglobin levels, glucose levels, cholesterol, as well as DNA sequencing. It might also be used as an anti-cancer treatment, due to its molecular composition. And due to its potential biocompatibility, graphene could also be used for tissue regeneration in the future. In short, it opens a whole world of bioengineering capabilities, once it passes the required approval processes.
Unlike in bioengineering where its use might take a long period, graphene is soon going to be commercially produced and used in optical electronics. It will be used to make items such as LCD screens, touch screens, organic lighting emitting diodes (OLEDs), and several others. Materials used in optical electronics must be capable of transmitting over 90% of light. Furthermore, they also need to have a high electrical conductivity as well as low resistance. The good news is that graphene excels in all these areas. As much as it’s almost completely transparent, it can transmit approximately 98% of its light.
As previously noted, this compound is highly conductive, which means it can work comfortably with numerous photoelectric systems such as LCD touchscreens for tablets, smartphones, as well as desktop computers. It can also be used to make screen panels for TVs. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is currently the most widely used compound in this industry. However, studies have shown that graphene can perform exceptionally better than ITO, even if in its current non-refined status. Also, graphene features high tensile strength as well as great flexibility, which means that it will soon take over ITO in all the above applications. You might also start seeing an increase in flexible electronic devices, once manufacturers start using it.
Graphene is light, stiff and strong. Currently, aeronautical engineers are already using carbon fiber in the manufacture of aircraft, since its light and strong. However, graphene is significantly stronger than carbon fiber. Apart from that, it’s also lighter by a mile. Due to its combination of such properties, it’s expected that graphene will eventually be used to create materials that can take the place of steel in aircraft manufacture, thus reducing their weight while improving their fuel efficiency and range. Also, due to its excellent electrical conductivity, graphene can also be used to as a coating material for aircrafts surfaces thus preventing electrical damage in the event of lightning. Aerospace engineers can also use the same coating to measure the stress rate, thus notifying the pilot whether the aircraft is safe to travel. Apart from that, it can also be used to make high-strength products such as body armor for various military applications, thanks to its lightweight nature and incredible strength.
Scientists and researchers are also considering using graphene in energy storage. As much as various areas in the electronics industry have significantly advanced over the last ten years or so, energy storage remains an issue. First, bigger batteries tend to have a greater storage capacity as compared to small ones. Second, most batteries lose stored energy, even when the device is not being used. The solution is to come up with an energy storage component, which operates like a supercapacitor, with the ability to serve both roles. And this is where graphene comes in. Currently, researchers are exploring ways of enhancing the capacity and capability of a lithium ion battery, by using graphene as an anode. With that integration, the battery will have higher storage capacity and will retain the energy for a longer period. Graphene-based energy storage devices are expected to be used in various low-energy devices such as portable computing devices and smartphones. They could become available within the next 5 to 10 years if everything goes according to plan. These batteries could also be used in energy-intensive applications such as electric vehicles as well as laptops. The good news is that they will significantly lower the weight of these devices.
Thanks to its extremely low light absorption, combined with its high electron mobility, graphene can be a reliable alternative to ITO or silicon when it comes to the manufacture of photovoltaic cells. Most solar cells available on the market today have silicon as one of the main components. The problem with silicon cells is that they are cost-intensive regarding production. Graphene, on the other hand, is considerably cheaper as compared to silicon cells. When silicon converts light into electricity, it usually produces both photons and electrons in equal measure. Therefore, plenty of energy is lost in the form of heat. According to a recent survey, graphene can generate numerous electrons than photons when converting the same amount of light energy into electricity – which means that it’s more efficient as compared to ITO and silicon. Its energy conversion percentage is currently rated at 60% compared to silicon which has an efficiency of 25%. As you can see, graphene is highly efficient when it comes to energy conversion. Apart from that, being thin and flexible means that photovoltaic cells made of graphene could be integrated into clothing. Therefore, you can recharge your phone as you walk. They can also be integrated into the windows of a house, thus powering a home.
Graphene is renowned for its extremely high conductivity. Due to this property, it can be used to make semiconductors. Semiconductors made of graphene will be moving information at a faster speed as compared to conventional materials. The Department of Energy recently conducted tests that proved that semiconductor polymers tend to conduct electricity at a higher speed especially when enhanced with a layer of graphene as compared to a layer of silicon. The same situation applies even when using a thicker polymer. For instance, a polymer with a thickness of 50 nanometers conducted electricity better when enhanced with graphene as compared to a plain polymer of 10 nanometers. Previously, there was popular belief that a thinner polymer could conduct charge better than a thicker one. But with the entry of graphene, all that is bound to change. However, the biggest challenge facing graphene in electronics is that it lacks a band gap.
In simple terms, a band gap is a gap between the conduction and valence sections in a material. When charge crosses from the conduction band to the valence band, there will be a flow of electricity. The band gap makes it possible for semiconductors like silicon to be used as transistors since they can easily switch from being a conductor to an insulator based on the movement of the electrons. And since graphene lacks a bandgap, electrons flow continuously, just like any other conductor.But recently, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology managed to produce graphene that comes with a band gap of approximately 0.5 volts. With such a huge bandgap, graphene can now be used as a semiconductor in various applications. And with the commercial production of graphene with a band gap, it will eventually overtake silicon as the preferred material for semiconductors.
Graphene features tight atomic bonds. Due to this structure, it’s impermeable almost to all liquids and gases, even those that have smaller molecules. However, the remarkable thing is that it allows water to pass through. Therefore, since water can pass through graphene and most of the other liquids and gasses cannot, it can be used as a great medium for filtration. A team of researchers from the University of Manchester tried graphene’s filtration levels using alcohol. They ended up with highly concentrated spirit distills, since only water present in the alcohol could pass through the graphene medium used during the filtration.
Apart from being used to filter liquids in water, graphene can also be used to remove toxins present in water. According to a survey conducted by the Royal Society of Chemistry, oxidized graphene is capable of removing radioactive materials like plutonium and present in water, leaving it completely potable. Therefore, some of the water laden with radioactive nuclear waste can be purified using graphene. The increasing global population has placed significant pressure on the available water sources.
Furthermore, issues of water pollution are on the increase. Therefore, maintaining clean drinking water remains a priority. However, most water filters don’t remove all the harmful materials completely. Apart from that, enhancing the cleaning capacity of most water filtration systems will require a huge capital outlay. And this is where graphene comes in. Graphene water filters are highly capable of cleaning vast quantities of water, thus increasing the amount of available potable water. Graphene water filters provide a cheaper and more efficient method of cleaning water, thus making it readily available for drinking to a higher number of people.
Graphene in Shoes
A new model of running shoes, featuring graphene in the soles has recently been introduced. The British shoe manufacturer, inov-8 launched these futuristic shoes. Working together with a team of graphene experts from the University of Manchester, inov-8 has managed to infuse graphene into the soles of these running shoes. These shoes, designed for a wide range of outdoor activities can cover 1000 miles than ordinary shoes. Furthermore, they are 50% more hard wearing as compared to other rubber outsoles. Inov-8 is the first brand in the world, which has managed to use graphene in footwear. Its G-Series line of running shoes, which come with soles infused with graphene are now available. Soft rubber tends to be grippy but deforms easily. On another hand, hard rubber tends to be more durable but loses some of its traction. Shoe manufacturers have been trying to find a solution to this problem for decades. Luckily, with the entry of graphene, shoe manufacturers can now create rubber outsoles, which are soft for maximum grip and hardwearing for extended durability.
Despite graphene’s incredible capabilities, it’s yet to be widely adopted. However, this can be attributed to financial challenges. It’s extremely expensive to produce Graphene in massive quantities. Apart from that, producing large sheets of graphene can lead to tiny fissures. Financial and production issues aside, the research into this ‘miracle’ material is not slowing down any time soon. And as you probably know, revolutions and innovations don’t happen overnight. But after reading this article, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that graphene has a very wide range of applications. Therefore, there is a high chance that graphene will play a significant role in various industries, over the coming years.

Ultrasonic Transducers FAQ's
Precision Acoustics manufactures transducers over the frequency range 0.2 MHz to 50 MHz using a variety of different materials
- PVdF transducers are available in the range 3 MHz to 50 MHz
- Piezo-ceramic transducers are available in the range 0.5 MHz to 12 MHz
- 1-3 piezo-composite transducers are available in the range 0.2 MHz to 1 MHz
To answer this question it is important to consider the type of signal that you wish the transducer to generate.
All piezo-electric transducers are resonant devices. The performance of a resonant device is significantly affected by how much damping is applied as can be seen in the graph below. The description that follows will consider the two extreme conditions of very low, and very high damping. However, Precision Acoustics is also able to produce transducers with damping anywhere between these two limits.
An undamped (or resonant) transducer will produce a large output very close to its resonant frequency, but the amplitude of its response will decrease significantly away from the centre frequency. In contrast a highly damped transducer will produce a much lower output, but is capable of driving at a range of frequencies either side of the centre frequency.
It is common practice to describe this behaviour in terms of percentage bandwidth: the ratio of bandwidth and centre frequency. An undamped transducer will have a low percentage bandwidth, but high maximum output at resonance. Conversely a damped transducer will have a high percentage bandwidth, but with a lower maximum output.
It is also important to understand the effect that damping has on the time domain waveform produced by a transducer. A damped transducer will produce less acoustic output than a comparable resonant transducer, but it will have relatively short pulse duration. In contrast, an undamped transducer will produce a much larger output, but because it is a resonant device, the pulse will ring on for many cycles. It is this relationship between damping and resonance that means it is not possible to produce a high power output across a broad range of frequencies.
A summary of properties of the resonant and undamped transducers can be found in the table below:
|Amplitude at centre frequency
|Amplitude away from centre frequency
|Time domain impulse response
|Common drive signals
|Continuous Wave or Toneburst
|Swept sine wave (chirps) or pulses
|Physiotherapy, HIFU, ultrasonic heating, ultrasonic cleaning
|Pulse/Echo, NDT, diagnostic imaging, Time of Flight measurements
Piezo-ceramic materials are characterised by having good electrical to mechanical conversion capabilities, but relatively low internal damping. This makes them very good for producing resonant transducers, but they have to be damped heavily to produce broadband transducers. A typical heavily damped piezo-ceramic transducer will probably have a pulse that is 4-5 cycles long. They make excellent transmitting transducers and a reasonable choice for transmit/receive devices
Almost all piezo-ceramic transducers are supplied with an integral quarter wave matching layer to effectively couple the high characteristic acoustic impedance of piezo-ceramics (typically in excess of 30 MRayls) into the 1.5 MRayls load that is presented by water. Most Precision Acoustics piezo-ceramic transducers contain an integral electrical impedance matching network. This transforms the complex impedance presented by the transducer to something much closer to 50 Ω. This ensures optimum power transfer into the transducer from typical 50 Ω output impedance function generators and amplifiers.
Very high frequency devices are difficult to produce with piezo-ceramics because the crystals become very thin and prone to damage. Precision Acoustics normally only produces piezo-ceramic devices with centre frequencies of 10 MHz and lower. Piezo-ceramics have also been used in-house to produce highly resonant transducers with acoustic outputs in excess of 85 W.
Piezo-polymer materials (e.g. PVdF) are characterised by having good mechanical to electrical conversion capabilities, but relatively high internal damping. This makes them very good for producing very short pulse, broadband transducers and impulse responses of-2-3 cycles are possible. However, the internal damping means that they have to be driven by much higher voltage levels than comparable piezo-ceramic devices. They make excellent receiving transducers and a reasonable choice for transmit/receive devices (particularly if good axial resolution is required).
The acoustic impedance of PVdF is very much closer to water than piezo-ceramics, and as such acoustic matching layers are not needed for PVdF based transducers. The nature of the electrical impedance presented by a PVdF transducer means that it is difficult to effectively transform it to 50 Ω. Although the impedance could be matched over a limited frequency range, this would compromise the broadband behaviour of this type of device. Therefore, most Precision Acoustics piezo-polymer transducers are supplied with simple inductive matching (to cancel much of the reactance of the transducer), but are not matched to 50 Ω.
PVdF films can be very thin indeed and therefore can be used to produce high frequency transducers. Miniature piezo-polymer transducers (1 mm diameter) have been produced at Precision Acoustics with centre frequencies in excess of 35 MHz.

Recent highly publicized benchmarks have suggested that Linux systems do not scale as well as other systems, such as Windows NT, when used as network servers. Windows NT contains features such as I/O completion ports that help boost network server performance and scalability. In this paper we focus on improving the Linux implementation of poll() to reduce the expense of managing large numbers of network connections. We also explore the newer POSIX RT signal API that will help network servers scale into the next decade. A comparison between the two interfaces shows that a server using our /dev/poll interface scales better than a server using RT signals.


Have you had an ac capacitor replaced? Did you ever wonder what makes an HVAC capacitor go bad? Did you think to ask how can I tell if the air conditioning capacitor has failed? or Is my air conditioner repair person really telling me the truth?
Well here’s a quick video showing one symptom of a bad air conditioning capacitor that would be obvious to just about anyone. this is only one type of failure for capacitors and not all bad capacitors will look this way, but this is a sure sign that the capacitor is bad. For more information about how to check for other types of failures, see our other video on checking a capacitor with a multi-meter.
At this point we should warn you that never touch an air conditioner capacitor on your own. They hold a charge that can be released instantaneously and are a serious shock hazard.


QuTester (ProLAN) is a free program that allows you to:
– measure the performance of an IT system;
– monitor the quality of servers, active network equipment, network services;
– promptly find out the reason for the deterioration of the quality of the IT system.
The QuTester program is a free (demo) version of the NPM Probe program, which is part of the NPM Analyst software product, and at the same time is a tool for providing professional services in the field of technical audit, diagnostics and network maintenance. The QuTester program measures the network performance, displays the measured values on its console and stores them on the hard disk in encoded form. At the same time, the program compares the measured values with threshold values (thresholds), which are stored in special files – “knowledge modules” (knowledge modules can be edited). The comparison results are displayed as a “traffic light” signal, an example of which is shown in Figure 1.
Fig. 1. “Traffic light” of the QuTester program.
An integral assessment of network quality is displayed in the upper part of the window. In the lower part of the window, the current and threshold values are displayed, on the basis of which an integral estimate is formed.
The QuTester program is very effective for rapid diagnostics of network problems, as it allows you to quickly determine which characteristics exceed the recommended thresholds.
If you need to get a report on the quality of the network or determine the bottleneck of an IT system, you need to get information about its operation over a long period of time. To do this, it is necessary to statistically process the data that the QuTester program stores on the hard disk in encoded form. Decoding and statistical processing of this data is a paid service of the company ProLAN (or an authorized partner) and is called TestAtelier. Examples of network quality reports obtained using the QuTester program and the TestAtelier service can be found in the white papers section. The peculiarity of the TestAtelier service is that assistance can be provided both on the spot and remotely.
If you are an employee of an IT company (system integrator), then with the help of the QuTester program and the TestAtelier service you will be able to provide your clients with professional services for diagnostics, maintenance and technical audit of networks.
The solution based on the free QuTester program and the TestAtelier service is most effective in relatively small networks (~ up to 70 workstations). Functionality of the QuTester program:
– measurement of the reaction time of network services: file, SQL, TCP, SMTP, POP3, ICMP;
– collecting statistical information on the operation of active network equipment using the SNMP protocol;
– collection of statistical information from counters built into MS Windows NT4/2000/XP, known as MS Performance Monitor.
– obtaining statistical information about the operation of SAA (Service Assurance Agent) embedded in the IOS 12.0 (5)T operating system of Cisco Systems;
– real-time import of network operation information obtained by means of the Observer Suite software package of Network Instruments company;
– real-time import of information about the operation of the information system obtained by means of the software packages AppManager and Vivinet Manager of NetIQ;
– notification of network failures (sending WinPopup messages, launching external programs).


With Dionex Ion Chromatography (IC) becoming a part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, and with the introduction of capillary IC, the usability of IC with mass spectrometry (MS) for trace-level analysis and sample-size-limited research has been significantly enhanced.

Chicago: NASA’s ambitious new mission to launch a probe mission directly into the 2500 degree atmosphere of the sun is set for summer 2018. Dubbed the Parker Solar Probe(PSP) will reach an orbit of four million miles(6.5 million km) from the sun, which shall be 7 times closer ever reached up to date.
The probe will measure activity at the sun’s outer surface, known as the ‘corona’. The craft will retrieve data on the sun’s atmosphere, life of stars and their weather events, that would help scientists in predicting dangerous solar flares.
NASA announced its plans at the University of Chicago’s William Eckhardt Research Centre Auditorium during a live stream event, which was broadcasted on NASA TV. The space craft is planned to launch from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida between July 31 and August 19, 2018 and is estimated to reach the sun in 2024.
The craft was originally dubbed the Solar Probe Plus – but later renamed to the Parker Solar Probe after University of Chicago scientist Eugene Parker, who pioneered solar wind science and proposed this journey in 1958.
Dr Nicola Fox, mission project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland said that until now, NASA did not have the advanced materials needed to make such a close trip to the sun’s corona. She added that the corona is actually hotter than the sun’s centre, and that finding out why is a key part of the probe mission.
‘I like to think of this as the coolest, hottest mission,’ she said.
The sun is the source of the solar wind; a flow of gases that streams past Earth at speeds of more than a million miles per hour (1.6 million km per hour). Disturbances in Solar flares account for massive damage to satellites, shaking up the Earth’s magnetic field and pumping energy into the radiation belts.
The latest mission could help predict a ‘huge solar event’, NASA says.
A recent study by the National Academy of Sciences approximated that without advance warning a huge solar event could cause two trillion dollars in damage in the US alone. The crux of the mission is to predict solar wind shifts and prevent massive damage here on Earth.

Supreme Cmdr Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 This is definitely a day one purchase for me. Though I have a GameBoy (not the Advance, as that was just a rip-off), I am going to pass on the Nintendo DS and get the PSP instead. From the press release: quote: PSP Enters Japanese Market on 12 December at 20,790 Yen Tokyo, October 27, 2004 ÔÇô Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI), announced today that it would release its new handheld video game system, PSPTM (PlayStationTMPortable) (PSP-1000), on December 12, 2004, at a recommended retail price of 19,800 yen excluding tax (20,790 yen including tax) for the Japanese market. With high-quality graphics processing capability equivalent to that of PlayStation 2, in addition to rich stereo sound, PSP offers the joy of playing full-scale 3D-CG games and viewing high resolution video images anytime, anywhere. Equipped with a wireless LAN feature (IEEE802.11b), PSP enables users to connect to the Internet through access points, making it possible for users to download game characters and content and also to play games on-line with families, friends and on-line community members.
