The crossover design is the last, and most important part of any speaker. I have auditioned excellent drivers with a bad crossover design that sounded commensurately bad. I have also heard relatively cheap drivers with an excellent crossover design that sounded quite good. The crossover is the heart of any loudspeaker. Measuring the results of crossover modification is critical. These method of obtaining these measurements have changed in favor of the home enthusiast during recent years.
Once upon time.. accurately measuring the response from a loudspeaker required a large anti-echoic chamber. This is because the room reflections would interfere with the measurement. While anti-echoic chambers are nice to have, they are are expensive. They are also no longer needed for accurate measurements. They are rapidly being replaced.
Computer measurement hardware/software such as LAUD, LspCad, LspLab have made accurate measurement available without the use of large anti-echoic chambers. There are many methods of measurement using these computer programs, but the one that is most easily conceptualized is the Gated Time Response.
The Gated Time Response uses a timed gate for the microphone via a computer, soundcard and amplification. Perfect measurements are quite simple. The computer turns on the microphone and sends a frequency pulse (A) through the speaker. The microphone remains open/on and receives the frequency pulse. After receiving the pulse the computer closes/shuts-off the microphone. This happens before the arrival of the reflected waveform (B). The gated time response nullifies the effects of room reflections and provides a perfect representation of the speakers response.
The advent of this technology has made the home crossover designer a viable competitor in loudspeaker design. There is obviously much more to a good crossover, but this is the tool that brought the very best designs down to the level of the skilled home designer.

Valve electric device is to achieve the valve program control, automatic control and remote control of the indispensable equipment, the movement process can be travel, torque or axial thrust to control the size. As the valve operating characteristics and utilization of the valve depends on the type of valve, the device work norms and the valve in the pipeline or equipment on the location, therefore, the correct choice of valve electric device, to prevent the occurrence of overload (working torque is higher than the control Torque) is essential.
The correct choice of the valve electric device should be based：
1.The operating torque is the most important parameter for selecting the electric device of the valve. The output torque of the electric device should be 1.2 ~ 1.5 times of the maximum torque of the valve.
2.One is not configured thrust plate, direct output torque; the other is to configure the thrust plate, the output torque through the thrust plate stem nut into the output thrust.
3.Number of revolutions of the output shaft: The number of turns of the output shaft of the valve motor is related to the nominal diameter of the valve, the stem pitch and the number of thread heads.
4.Stem diameter: For multi-turn type of stem valve, if the electric device allows the maximum stem diameter can not pass through the valve stem valve, can not be assembled into electric valve. Therefore, the inner diameter of the hollow shaft of the electric device must be greater than the stem diameter of the stem valve. For part of the rotary valve and multi-turn valve in the dark bar valve, although not consider the stem diameter through the problem, but in the optional time to fully consider the stem diameter and keyway size, so that after assembly to work properly.
5.Output speed: the valve opening and closing speed, easy to produce water hammer.Therefore, we should according to the different conditions of use, select the appropriate opening and closing speed.
6.Installation and connection mode: the electric device installation has installed vertical, horizontal, fall to the ground;Connection mode is: the thrust plate;Stem through (stem multi-turn valves);Non-rising stem multi-turn;No thrust plate;The valve stem not through;Part of the rotary.
Valve electric devices have their special requirements, that is, must be able to limit the torque or axial force. Usually the valve is used to limit the torque of the coupling device. When the electric device specifications are determined, the control torque is determined. Usually in a predetermined time to run, the motor will not be overloaded.
1.the power supply voltage is low, the required torque is not obtained, and the motor is stopped；
2.The torque limiting mechanism is erroneously set so as to be larger than the stop torque, causing excessive torque to be continuously generated and the motor to stop rotating;
3.Intermittent use, the resulting heat accumulation, more than the temperature rise of the motor;
4.For some reason the torque limiting mechanism circuit failure, so that the torque is too large;
5.The use of ambient temperature is too high, relative to the motor heat capacity decreased.

VLANs allow to introduce network segmentation to our environment. After we make sure the machines sit in separate VLANs, we might want to provide some sort of inter-VLAN routing as well as some sort of a firewall (UTM) that will make sure only desired traffic gets through from VLANs to VLANs.
In last article we introduced the basic concept of a virtual switch. Now is a good time to introduce VLANs and how we can integrate them with LibVirt. This will allow us to segregate VMs just like we would segregate physical machines and devices using traditional managed switches.
Lately I’ve been toying around with the idea of finally putting more effort into learning ins and outs of CheckPoint VSX systems. Basic deployment technically allows us to rely only on physical interfaces to set up the chassis but I wanted to make sure I have something that reflects most common setups (because in 99.9% of cases you will encounter VSXes simply connected to a switch over a trunk port and very little physical cabling).
In this article you will learn how to add a basic virtual switch, as well as to move some of your interfaces to it.

The Big Difference
Take Aim’s Patented SmartShot™ Software Technology turns your shotgun into an intelligent device. The SmartShot Software analyzes your shot to provide immediate feedback on hit and miss accuracy, range & velocity of the target, and the motion of the shooter. The corrections needed to make the next shot perfect are furnished both audibly and visually.
How We Do It
The ShotTracker turns your shotgun into an intelligent device.
The SmartShot software uses the ShotTracker’s integrated sensors to monitor the motion of the shooter and the shotgun. When a shot is detected, the video frames from the on board camera are analyzed to compute the flight path and velocity of the clay target.
The flight path and velocity of the pellet cloud is calculated to ascertain the point where the clay and the pellets intersect. At the intersection point the SmartShot algorithms determine the number of pellets that can impact the clay and how much kinetic energy they contain. This information is used to compute the probably of breakage for the clay.
Finally, the software computes the corrections needed to center your pattern prefectly on the clay on your next shot.


The overall SETSII project - Scandinavian Electric Transport System - aims to contribute to a faster transition to environmentally friendly electronic operation of the KASK region's ports. The aim is, in addition to a reduction in CO2, particulate emissions and noise levels, also to ensure the creation of a flexible and highly efficient electricity infrastructure that can lift the region's environmentally heavy ports to positive role models for the entire transport sector.
Overall objectives of the project:
The goal is to develop an electrification plan and a fossil-free strategy, as well as implement these so that a sustainable transition to the pilot batteries for participating ports can take place.
The project's goals / results are:
1. All project ports must have implemented solutions with pilot batteries, and through business and financing plans receive additional provisions for battery operation and a sustainable conversion.
2. All ports must significantly reduce their CO2 and particulate emissions (up to 100%) and also contribute to a significant reduction in the port's noise level (90-95%)
3. All port areas shall have an efficient and more flexible electricity infrastructure, with optimal use of electrical energy, storage capacity and exchange of electricity between batteries and the electricity grid in port areas.
4. There shall be a plan for continued work and further development of the experience with battery operation at the local ports with a focus on continued collaboration and development between the local environments and the regions, as well as international development environments.
The #mitteuropa campaign is a collaboration between the European Commission, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, the Swedish Board of Agriculture, the Rural Development Network, the Swedish ESF Council, Leader Sweden and the Interreg programs.
The target group is divided into 4 sub-target groups.
For the participating ports, it will be a central purpose to be able to embark on an overall strategy for implementing electrification on the ports' areas. There will be a difference in the ambitions of the individual port in connection with such work. Partly based on the starting point for the strategy and partly based on economic conditions. According to the strategy, the ports will have an electrification plan prepared, including a financing plan and an implementation plan containing test areas, some with and some without batteries, based on local conditions. The knowledge institutions will be involved in the work with the test areas to ensure that it will be the latest technologies that are used.
For the ports' companies, it will be important that they have the opportunity to try out and test some of the new electrical technologies they either have available, or will develop in connection with the project, as well as optimize the use of newly developed batteries, this will also enable that the proliferation effect of the project will be greater.
For the consultants associated with the project, it will be the case that they gain new insight into the possibilities that exist with electrification and battery operation in relation to ports and the maritime sector. Collectively, they will give these actors greater insight and thus better opportunities to advise others on how and where electric operation can be promoted and thus lead to a reduction in the use of fossil fuels within the area. It will also be a central purpose for the consultants that they can find the best business models in areas so that these can be promoted.
Look at the participating knowledge institutions, as well as the development environments that exist in the participants
companies, it is for the knowledge institutions a central purpose that they can get, partly simulated possible
developmental stages, but just as important that they can have these tests taken from the laboratory into a real and active one
test environment to see which solutions work optimally directly in the use environment.


Flip Battery Saver Power Up is a free app by Maxwell that allows you to save your phone's battery by up to 50%, simply by flipping it face down (which, via the app, deactivates the screen and turns on power-saving routines). It provides other functionality as well, such as cleaning up apps running in the background or tracking CO2 savings.
Flip and win
Flip Battery Saver Power Up uses your phone's motion sensor to know when it's flipped, face down, at which point the real savings start. Thus, an older phone might struggle to detect when the app is trying to do its work, but this shouldn't happen often. Otherwise, the app tracks how much power has been saved by the app in terms of CO2 (it really is efficient!) and can also clean up your phone's memory.
Basically, Flip Battery Saver Power Up extends your phone's existing capabilities. Though you can mimic its battery-saving capabilities by turning your phone's screen off, flipping your phone over is easier to both start and stop, and Flip Battery Saver still does a little more than pressing the button on the side of your phone can. If you're environmentally conscious or just want a bit more zip out of your battery, Flip Battery Save Power Up really will power things up.

Best Drone in India – Buying Guide
For buying a drone, first to know what all features and things you should look for in a drone. Purchasing a drone in India is not an easy task; it should be with proper research, and you should be pre-determined about what all features you are looking for in a drone. There are many other things to know other than just the price.
Drones are quite expensive, and you should choose a drone wisely. Some relevant specifications are essential for a good drone to have. Here in this buying guide, we will introduce you to some features that you need to know before buying a drone.
● Purpose and Use
The first and essential part is to decide why you need a drone. Your purpose will direct you to what drone you should buy. Many people use the drone as a selfie stick. Some use drones for aerial stunts for shooting vlogs or shooting advertisements and kinds of stuff. Using a drone is smooth and has fewer hassles. It helps to complete the same task we do in a more fun way.
You should have an idea of how much money you want to invest in purchasing a drone. As most drones are expensive, it would be quite tough to buy it, but once you buy it, the drone will last for a long time. Many cheap drones are easily affordable, but they become waste in some months after use.
● Government Procedures
To not worry about fines, you should purchase a nano drone or buy any drone you want, but you should have a proper registration of that drone under the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
● Flight Time
While the nano drone has a flight time of 5-10 minutes, the drones with a camera with flight time ranging for 10-30 minutes. Many drones that we have listed have a high flight time that will be very convenient for you as you can fly the drone for a more extended period.
A drone should be light-weight and easy to put in a bag to carry it around. Portability is a vital feature as a big drone will be very difficult to take around for tours and trips. Handling small light-weighted drones is manageable.
You should go for a drone that has a high-quality camera that will shoot crystal-clear pictures and videos. A camera is a mattering factor in buying drones.
● Remote Control
The remote control is a factor that will play a considerable role in operating the drone. The easy remote control is very beneficial for beginners, and for experts, remote control, which has the option to have full control over the drone, is better.
● Battery Life
A drone’s battery life will define how much time you can fly a drone without putting it back on charge. A decent drone battery runs for 10-30 minutes. Recharging a battery of drones takes a lot of time, so it will be good if the battery life is high.
● Drone Cases And Backpacks
Drone cases and backpacks are for great use to protect your drone after the flight. For storing it safely and adequately, cases and backpacks are a must. The durable cases and backpacks are a precaution for your expensive drones.
● Replacement Parts
If your drones’ usage is for numerous flights, there will be some replacement in parts in the future. The parts of drones that might need to replace are broken propellers, landing gear, or battery due to high use; this may lead to the wear and tear of the product.
While considering any model, look for the parts, if available, and then go for that model of drone. If you look for the parts prior, it will be beneficial for the future.
● Material Quality
Material Quality is essential as it will define the durability of the drone. Low-cost drones do not offer high quality; they use cheap material, which is not reliable. The drone with a better quality has fewer chances of crashes as the material holds on to the parts and makes it better-performing.
The GPS feature makes the operating part of the drone very easy. The GPS ensures that the drone comes back to the spot it took off from, and many drones have Return To Home feature, which is possible with the help of GPS.
● ID Plate
ID Plate gives a flight operator for logging the flight data capability. NPNT defines No PermissionNo Takeoff, which makes the drone safe for you.
● Auto Landing
The auto-landing feature might be present in some drones where the drone lands automatically before the battery is low.

The purpose of WWF’s Enabling Environmental Assessment Tool (or EEAT as it was known) site is twofold - to provide a data capture system for teams operating in the field and to provide “head office” staff with the ability to carry out comparisons and create visualisations to provide both an “at a glance” analysis of the sustainability data for a given project/time period and changes in the data over time to show improvements or regressions. Additionally, it also provides the capability to aggregate and compare different groups of data to show, for example, how different regions compare.
I was heavily involved in the initial client discussions and the specification and estimation of this project in addition to the documentation of the development approach from a technical perspective.
Whilst I was working on another project during much of the initial development of EEAT, I also created the data transform layer, which processed the raw data from the data capture spreadsheets into the three key visualisations - Enabling Environment, Value Chain Segment and Good Governance. The data transformation layer also provided the capability to collate and average data sets, hence providing the data for the visualisations.
Sadly, as EEAT is an internal-only WWF tool it isn’t publicly available. However, there’s a great project write up showing the system in use over on the Createful website.

How Does It Work?
ABS wheel speed sensors operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. As the wheel rotates, the sensor generates a signal by detecting the teeth on a tone ring or toothed wheel attached to the wheel hub. The sensor sends this signal to the ABS control module, which compares the speed of each wheel to detect any discrepancies that may indicate wheel lock-up.
Signs of a Faulty ABS Wheel Speed Sensor
Like any other vehicle component, ABS wheel speed sensors can fail over time due to wear and tear or electrical issues. Some common signs of a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor include:
– ABS warning light on the dashboard
– Erratic or inconsistent operation of the ABS system
– Loss of traction or stability during braking
– Grinding or clicking noises coming from the wheels
The heater blower motor resistor works by regulating the amount of electrical current flowing to the blower motor. The resistor is typically located near the blower motor and consists of a series of resistors that create different levels of resistance. By adjusting the level of resistance, the resistor can control the speed of the blower motor fan. When the fan speed control is set to a lower setting, the resistor increases resistance, reducing the current flow to the blower motor, resulting in a slower fan speed. Conversely, when the fan speed is set to a higher setting, the resistor decreases resistance, allowing more current to flow to the blower motor, increasing the fan speed.
Diagnosing an issue with the heater blower motor resistor typically involves testing the resistor with a multimeter to check for continuity and proper resistance levels. If the resistor is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced. Replacing the blower motor resistor is usually a straightforward process that involves locating the resistor near the blower motor, disconnecting the electrical connector, removing the old resistor, and installing a new one.
Proper maintenance of the heater blower motor resistor is essential for ensuring the efficient operation of the HVAC system in your vehicle. Neglecting issues with the resistor can lead to discomfort while driving, especially during extreme weather conditions. Regular inspections of the blower motor resistor as part of your vehicle’s routine maintenance can help prevent potential problems and ensure the optimal performance of your vehicle’s heating and cooling system.
In conclusion, ABS wheel speed sensors are an integral part of the ABS system, playing a crucial role in maintaining vehicle stability and safety during braking. Regular inspection and maintenance of these sensors are key to ensuring proper operation and avoiding potential issues on the road. If you encounter any signs of a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor, be sure to address the problem promptly to keep your vehicle safe and secure.
How Fuel Injectors Work:
Fuel injectors work by spraying a precise amount of pressurized fuel into the intake system, where it mixes with air before entering the combustion chamber. The injector is controlled by the engine control unit (ECU), which calculates the optimal fuel delivery based on various factors such as engine speed, load, and temperature.
In conclusion, the oil pan is a critical component of a vehicle’s engine lubrication system. It stores and distributes oil to the engine’s moving parts, reduces friction, and helps to cool the oil. Regular maintenance and inspection of the oil pan are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the Engine Fault Diagnosis and prolong its lifespan.
Camshafts are designed to meet the specific requirements of the engine they are paired with. They are usually made of high-strength steel or alloy materials to withstand the high-speed rotation and continuous operation within the engine. Proper maintenance and regular inspection of the camshaft are essential to ensure the smooth operation of the engine.
The primary purpose of the oil pan is to store the engine oil that circulates through the engine to lubricate its moving parts. As the engine runs, the oil is pumped from the oil pan to the various parts of the engine, such as the crankshaft, camshaft, and pistons, to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear. The oil pan also serves as a reservoir for excess oil during operation and allows for easy access during oil changes.
1. **Inconsistent or no fan speed control:** If you are unable to adjust the fan speed of your vehicle’s HVAC system, it could indicate a problem with the blower motor resistor.
2. **Only works on certain speeds:** If the blower motor only operates at certain fan speeds and not others, it may be a sign of a faulty resistor.
Maintenance and Replacement
Regular maintenance of the ABS system, including the wheel speed sensors, is essential to ensure optimal performance and safety. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for inspection and replacement intervals. If you suspect a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor, it is advisable to have it diagnosed and replaced by a qualified mechanic to avoid compromising the effectiveness of the ABS system.

This is a great DV camera for use with a tripod. It is low-cost (under $300) and supports SD video out, Mic Input, 37x optical zoom, SDHC flash memory (up to 32GB), and is tripod capable.
We have Canon FS100's and 200's and I haven't been able to get the Panopto Recorder to recognize these. Does this work for you? What's the catch?
The FS200 (I have one at home) doesn't have firewire output. You would need to take the AV out port and then get a converter. We like the Canopus devices but there are slew of them on the market.
Thanks Dave, I'll look into this. Very helpful!
On second thought, it's costs almost as much as the camera! Is this type of adapter the only way to use non Mini-DV camera's with the Panopto recorder?
Not at all. See the below page.
Dave, she won't need a converter. We use this cheap USB capture card to accomodate the FS series cameras or really any camera that supports S-VID/Composite out:
Cheap $30 usb stick works flawlessly at 30 FPS. The Panopto recorder will see the device as the USB capture stick and pull it in that way.
The model # is: USB-AVCPT
Steve, if this really works that's awesome!!! Thanks for the info. I have a similar device from Roxio that we go to capture input to the computer from an old DVD/VHS deck. I'm going to try that with my FS200 and see if it will work. Looks like it has all the same input/output ports. What did you use to come out of the camera's AV port to the RCA/S-video outlets on this device? I have a 1/8 inch to RCA/S-video but Panopto isn't recognizing it. More details please?
You bet. When you use the usb capture card I mentioned above it basically makes anything you connect to it (composite/svideo) hardware agnostic. Panopto will only see the usb capture card and won't care about what device is connected to it. The only thing you have to verify is your video output going to the usb capture card.
For your FS200, here is how I connect our camera. You will first need to verify you have "AV Out" specified via your FS200 menu then connect as follows in the pictures.
Let me know if you run into any snags.
I had it right!!! Only thing different was I also connected the audio RCA jacks. But i still don't see what I'm pointing the FS200 at and in the Panopto Recorder (I'm on a Mac) it doesn't show up as a video input. I know this has to be something silly I've missed but I don't know what it could be. I am using a similar device from Roxio with the exact same input's/outputs and I know it works with other devices. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!
What specific model device are you using from Roxio? Also, if you have some images that would help too. I might be able to provide some advice if I could see what you're working with.
I'll do that tomorrow Steve and thanks for your help. I'll send you pics and some specs and if you have to time to look at it I'd appreciate it. I would help our workflow greatly if we can get this working with an inexpensive adapter.
Ah darn, this USB capture card is Windows only :( I didn't realize you were using a MAC.
If you want a solid capture card that is guaranteed to not let you down for a affordable price. I'd go with this one:
$150 - but offers a nice range of features.
Pinnacle offers another solution for MAC around the $100 mark as well:

The Nikon D3300 can be easily considered as one of the best DSLR cameras for beginners. This outstanding camera comes with the lightweight & small body, a reasonable price, 24.2 Megapixel, and a lot of other alluring features. You will need a comfortable & secure Nikon D3300 battery grip that will hold the camera, especially when you want to keep it in a vertical position.
Nikon D3300 Battery Grip Buying Guide
If you are looking forward to buying a battery grip for the Nikon D3300 then this review can be your ultimate guide for Nikon D3300 Battery Grip.
The Ideal Battery Grip
The battery grip serves its purpose best when it is tried on long trips of shooting. The biggest advantage of a good battery grip is that it prolongs the battery life. With an extended battery life, one can take more pictures. An ideal battery grip needs to have a solid and strong structure too. The solid and strong structure will give the camera a rigid and stable hold and contribute to better photography. There are many other benefits of a good battery grip that are waiting to be discovered.
The following are some important key factors that one needs to keep in mind while buying a DSLR Battery Grip.
Extended Shooting Time
This is possibly the main key factor that sells almost all the brands of a battery grip. This feature is a must. Ideally, a good battery grip should hold 2 battery packs. The biggest advantage of a battery grip holding 2 battery packs at a same point in time is that it doubles the longevity of the camera, straight away. A prolonged battery life will further result in additional hundreds of photographs in a day. However, one should look for more flexible options, such as those battery grips that are able to support single as well as double batteries.
Better and Stable Hold
An ideal battery grip should have a strong and rigid build. A strong and rigid battery grip will result in good quality and stable hold of the camera. Additionally, a better hold will ensure an outstanding control while shooting vertical. The actual logic behind buying a battery grip with stronghold is just to ensure that there is no shaking of images. Furthermore, it will help one to shoot various landscapes, portraits, outdoor activities and even very distant images with more accuracy.
The popular brands of battery grips are available online on all the leading online shopping websites. Those websites offer battery grips at flexible prices. Additionally, one can go through the reviews and ratings submitted by users. Those reviews and ratings will help one to get a better understanding of the brand and the product.
A good DSLR camera such as Nikon D3300 is made to take the photography experience to a certain height. One will enjoy capturing images that will remain with him/her for the rest of life as a memorable moment and a good battery grip will further contribute to the beauty and detail of that memory.

ATTENTION: Apple released the 10.1.2 update on 20 December 2001. This update includes a few Apple-supported drivers that enable PC Card ATA functionality. This project's driver should now only be used as a programming reference. If you have installed the driver, please refer to the instructions in the release for backing out of changes before you update.
This is an implementation of a sixteen-bit PC Card ATA driver for Mac OS X (and Darwin). This driver will support PC Cards that have an ATA interface such as micro disk drives, CompactFlash cards, SmartMedia cards, and Sony Memory Sticks. It is also a good reference for others wanting to write PC Card drivers.
At present, the driver is intended for developers, testers, and the not-so-weak-of-heart. Since one must install post-10.1.1 kernel extensions (at or near the Darwin repository's top of source tree), there are no packages or disk images. Rather, the instuctions on building and installing the driver are included with the source. If you plan to try it out, be aware that a kernel panic can render a media card's file system unusable and possibly require that the card be re-formatted.
The current version of the driver is much more stable than the previous one. Kernel panics are rare and the driver functions as it should modulo formatting a media card (formatting with the FAT file system or UFS file system works whereas attempting to format a card using the HFS or HFS+ file system sometimes fails.)
I wrote this driver to provide another way to transfer images from various digital cameras and for flexibility. While ImageCapture provides image transfer functionality, it does not support all cameras and necessitates extra cabling. Also, since CompactFlash cards et al are really just ATA devices, this driver affords formatting them in other than FAT12 (the de facto file system for digital cameras).
The project is located here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pccardata
Thanks to Greg Block, Rick Sulack, and Chris Sarcone.

AlphaCipher is an enhanced digital version of the true One Time Pad ("OTP") encryption algorithm. The OTP cipher is the only encryption algorithm that has ever been mathematically proven to produce permanently unbreakable ciphertext when properly implemented. This proven strength of the OTP makes it the only cipher that is immune to the daily advances in computer hacking techniques, advanced mathematics and advances in high performance computing and processing power. Vadium has enhanced the basic OTP cryptographic process logic in several significant ways that makes the OTP cipher efficient for real world digital usage. In adding these enhancements to the proven OTP cipher, Vadium, has in no way compromised the power or integrity of the only truly unbreakable encryption algorithm.
Our additions to the OTP were only done in order to add discrete and accountable processes to the OTP encryption process, either before or after the actual ciphering process. These enhancements make the OTP cipher more efficient from the standpoint of encryption key usage, encryption key management, system user interfaces, end user flexibility and digital memory handling. Overall Vadium's customizations make the OTP system more efficient and user friendly, while maintaining the integrity of a true OTP cipher.
Vadium has developed AlphaCipher into a mature horizontal technology platform in the form of a Software Developer's Kit ("SDK") that can be used to integrate AlphaCipher and its robust functionality into any digital process on any computer operating system or platform. Vadium has developed a number of products using this SDK and in Q2 2015 more information will become available on our updated product line and product road map that is expected to be focused on securing mobile communications and applications, cloud applications and services, mobile payments and digital transactions, along with enterprise productivity applications, healthcare applications and specialized national security and defense applications.

The renewable energy industry has been growing fast in recent years. As more individuals and companies aim to reduce single use plastic, and consequently, their carbon footprint, the demand for green technology solutions has increased.
Climate change has indirectly caused tsunamis, wildfires, and hurricanes that destroyed considerable areas in countries like the United States, Australia, or Indonesia. As a result, many people have been left with nothing, not even a home.
Last year was the second warmest year on record in recent times, according to a Global Climate report from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Concerned about the climate change’s consequences, many companies started looking for innovative green technologies and systems to implement.
Here are some ways green tech solutions are helping companies and homeowners reduce their environmental impact.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Green technology solutions are now used everywhere. And the renewable energy sector is not an exception.
For all those interested in eco friendly houses, companies like Renogy, LG, and Verv Energy use machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve their products and services. For example, Verv’s predictive maintenance technology plays a key role in detecting anomalies on white goods performance.
Home appliances are in every home, but it’s difficult for homeowners to identify when they are performing poorly. Thanks to Verv’s smart diagnosis, issues are identified and resolved on time. As it increases home appliances’ lifetime, less CO2 is generated.
On the other hand, Renogy is using artificial intelligence (AI) and ML to enhance solar systems’ performance. Smart solar inverters detect when solar panels produce more energy than required. When that happens, homeowners can connect their photovoltaic (PV) systems to a utility grid, and help others reduce their carbon footprint.
Renewable energy systems like solar and wind depend on the weather to function correctly. But as weather can’t be predicted with 100 percent accuracy, companies like Nnergix and Xcel use AI to develop environment forecasting apps.
These apps analyze the atmosphere’s state in a particular region based on satellite and industry data. As the system identifies weather patterns, predictions of energy generation are made.
Green Technology Solutions Based On Internet of Things
The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) has allowed companies in the renewable energy sector to make significant developments in innovative green technologies. By allowing them to monitor and control systems using smartphones and other portable electronic devices, remote management has become a new industry standard.
In PV arrangements, customers monitor real-time energy consumption. One of the biggest issues in solar systems is keeping the PV array in the right direction to the sun. By using automated control systems, users can change the orientation of PV arrays and track the sun.
In tech development facilities, IoT has allowed companies to increase energy efficiency. With the use of smart sensors, companies can gather energy consumption data from machines. As detecting abnormalities becomes much easier, they can implement new strategies to provide one-stop solutions.
Some power companies around the world are using IoT for utility grid management. By placing sensors along distribution lines and substations, they can gather energy consumption data to make better decisions. No matter the issue— voltage control, load switching, or network configuration—companies can provide the best outcome.
Damaged power lines that are not disconnected quickly can cause electrocution, fires, and other hazards. IoT sensors allow power companies to receive outages alerts and detect damaged lines. As these companies can turn off the power right on time, the chances of adverse consequences are reduced.
Energy storage plays an important role in power usage. And in our zero waste journey!
No matter how much energy a system can produce, there’ll be energy waste if the power demand isn’t equal. Thus, providing very efficient green technology solutions for storage has been one of the biggest challenges in the renewable energy sector.
However, in recent years, companies like Tesla and LG have invested large amounts of money into designing and developing better solutions. Tesla claims its Powerwall allows customers to stay connected 24/7 during an outage. By providing a noiseless solution, customers can relax comfortably at home.
Tesla’s Powerwall uses sensors to detect when a utility power station is off. Then, it makes an instant switch to keep customers’ devices turned on. Powerwall reduces customers’ reliance on the grid. As the tech can be recharged using PV systems, customers can reduce their carbon footprint. However, what makes Powerwall special is that it allows users to track and optimize their energy consumption. By using Tesla’s mobile app, users can set personalized settings to increase their savings.
Thinking further ahead, LG has developed ESS batteries which allow companies and homeowners to store electric energy. The company claims their state-of-art energy storage system is the most optimal innovative green technology solution for customers. LG ESS batteries allow power companies to reduce peak loads, regulate frequency, and improve power quality.
For household applications, LG provides similar benefits to Tesla. With the help of PV systems, LG’s ESS battery allows homeowners to use stored energy at night and reduce the electricity bill. But, LG applies lamination and stacking technologies to create high energy density batteries. In other words, their batteries are much more compact and store more energy.
When discussing green technology solutions, we need to mention the car sector, too.
Toyota and Kia are implementing a new braking system in their hybrid cars to reduce vehicles’ carbon footprint. Plug-in hybrids like Mitsubishi Outlander can be recharged by connecting them to the grid. By using a recharging braking system, Toyota and Kia hybrids can recharge their batteries while moving.
Both types of hybrids have a lower CO2 impact than full petrol vehicles. But, since self-charging hybrids don’t require an external source to recharge, their CO2 impact is even lower.
Blockchain allows users to build peer-to-peer energy markets. Customers whose demand is lower than their own production can trade excess energy with neighbors and peers. As customers can buy and sell energy depending on their needs, control from central authorities is reduced.
In Australia, companies like Power Ledger are creating connections between communities to create “microgrids”. Today, microgrids are not very popular, but many blockchain energy companies are willing to build larger microgrids to create self-sustaining “micro-cities” in the future. As they can be separated from the primary utility grid, their footprint is reduced significantly.
Innovative Green Technology On The Rise
The use of green technology solutions will hopefully continue to increase in the future. Not only they provide users with comfort and efficiency but for companies, new, innovative technologies can mean a greener world.

Samsung's 2016 line of smartphones has a new update, at least for the devices on AT&T. The update brings the Galaxy S7 to version G930AUCS4BQL1 and the Galaxy S7 Edge to version G935AUCS4BQL1. Here's what's on the table.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S7 and use the Samsung Gear VR, you may have woken up yesterday to an unpleasantly hot surprise. But don't worry—your phone isn't going to explode (probably). The problem is with a stubborn update to the Oculus apps.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 is an incredible piece of technology, but the Skype app that's preinstalled on some models may have some nasty issues, such as video and audio that freezes. Luckily, the fix for these problems is a simple one, although somewhat buried in the phone's Settings app.
After months of speculation and sifting through rumors, Samsung finally unveiled its Galaxy S7 and S7 edge flagships, and they're pretty much what we had been anticipating. But just because there weren't any major surprises doesn't mean that it's not still exciting. Let's have a look.
Samsung is rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge today, February 15th, and with it come some good improvements to how S6 edge users can utilize the handset's curved screen.
Samsung will begin preorders for the upcoming Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge on February 21st, the same day the company plans to unveil its handsets ahead of the Mobile World Congress, according to Dutch site Android World (via Droid Life). Customers who preorder a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge will also receive a free Gear VR.
New filings with the FCC released on Monday show that Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy S7 Edge will feature a 3,600 mAh battery. While this news might not satisfy everyone who is unhappy that Samsung did away with removable batteries, this should mean that the S7 Edge will be able to last longer between charge-ups.
There have been plenty of rumors and lots of speculation about the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, and now we're finally getting our first look at Samsung's newest flagships—in the form of two images.
When the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge came to market in 2016, they were universally praised as being the pinnacle of Android smartphone design, even topping Consumer Reports' smartphone ratings.
The international, Exynos-powered Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have had a working root method ever since a few days after release. But the North American variants—those using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor—have locked bootloaders, and have proven to be almost unrootable up until now.
A lot of folks complain about the extra features Samsung adds to Android, but while there are some benefits to the slimmer stock Android, the TouchWiz firmware on Galaxy devices definitely has its own advantages.
Samsung's 2016 flagship devices are some of the most beautiful, powerful smartphones ever made. And amazingly enough, thanks to legendary root developer Chainfire, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are about to get even more powerful.
The leaks keep trickling out for Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge handsets. Hot on the heels of the first images of the S7 Edge, 13 of the wallpapers for the new flagships have surfaced online (courtesy of J.K. Shine from the SamMobile forum), and are here for you to download if you'd like to get a head start on the action. If you like any of these wallpapers, just long-press on the image and hit "Save," and you'll be able to set it as your home screen background (on your computer, click o...
Samsung trademarked the name Gear 360 a few weeks ago, and today it has been confirmed that the Gear 360 is a spherical virtual reality camera that will accompany the much-anticipated Galaxy S7.
A slide shown during a China Mobile conference indicates that Samsung's Galaxy S7 handsets should be hitting the market next March. If this chart is to be believed, it strongly suggests that Samsung will unveil its flagships at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Feb. 22-25, 2016). For reference, the public got its first look at the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge on March 1st at last year's MWC; the handsets were released a little over a month later on April 10th.


SD, SDHC, SDXC and all their micro equivalents – whether you buy them branded by Jessops, SanDisk, Kingston, Trascend, Fujifilm, Lexar, Samsung; they’re all basically the same, right? Wrong, but you knew that. What you might not have been so clear about is just what the differences are.
That’s not the only jargon we’ll explain. What about UHS-I and UHS-II? Or U1 and U3. Even write speed versus read speed? And why won’t your camera record 4K video with your old card inserted in the camera? Yes SD memory cards can be confusing.
In our guide to SD memory cards, we’ll start with the basics but work our way through to the more advanced stuff. We’ll unpack the jargon and explain the differences between cards so you can make an informed purchase.
What is an SD memory card?
SD, or Secure Digital, is a memory card conceived in 1999 by San Disk, Panasonic and Toshiba. It has gone on to become the industry standard memory card for digital cameras – no other card is used more widely.
There are now SD, SDHC and SDXC varieties, as well as micro SD/ SDHC/ SDXC – we’ll explain the differences later. Ultimately, how much you’ll pay for a memory card reflects the different compatibility, speed, capacity and brand name.
For instance, you’ll pay more for a new SDXC memory card that supports 4k video and has a large capacity, especially if it wears one of the reputable brand names. Depending on your camera, you may not need to buy the most expensive card around.
Picture quality is in no way affected by which memory card is used in the camera. However, if the card’s write speed cannot match the camera’s performance, you’ll experience delays when shooting.
Card Dimensions and security
The dimensions of an SD memory card are 24x32x2.1mm (WxHxD).
There is also the micro SD memory card variety, which is the most commonly used memory card in portable devices like smartphones.
Most micro SD cards come with an adaptor for the SD card format, so they also can be used in a camera that accepts SD memory cards, without changing performance ratings. The dimensions of a micro SD card are 11x15x1.0mm.
Data on the card can be secured as read-only by flicking the lock switch. With the lock on, the card will not record new images or allow edits to existing images. There is no such lock on a micro SD card.
Who produces SD cards?
There are numerous brands that distribute SD memory cards. The big, reputable names in Europe include San Disk, Lexar, Toshiba, Kingston, Samsung, Sony, Delkin and PNY. (Sorry if we have missed any out.) You’ll also find a host of other memory cards available.
Eye-Fi is a brand of SD memory card whose cards feature built-in Wi-Fi. This feature was quite handy a while back, but most of the cameras today feature built-in Wi-Fi, effectively making these memory cards obsolete. In addition, the performance of these cards is no match for today’s high-speed cameras.
There are counterfeit SD cards out there, which more often than not look genuine. You may find that the counterfeit still works, but its capacity and speed are inaccurate, plus the card proves less reliable. It’s advisable to purchase a memory card from an official retailer to avoid getting a fake.
Other memory card formats
There are other memory card formats used in today’s digital cameras, namely Compact Flash (CF) and XQD. Both of these cards types are physically bigger and typically used in large DSLR cameras. XQD cards in particular are very fast.
SD card slots
Most cameras are limited to a single SD card slot, while select others feature twin memory cards slots. Those with twin slots may have twin SD card slots or mixed media e.g. one compact flash (CF) slot and one SD slot.
Additionally, those with twin SD card slots may differ in card compatibility e.g. the primary slot may support a UHS-II card and the other one be limited to UHS-I (we’ll explain that terminology shortly).
SD v SDHCv SDXC
There are three ‘varieties’ of SD memory cards; SD, SDHC and SDXC. What are the real differences between these cards?
Well, they all have the same physical dimensions, but differ in terms of compatibility, speed and capacity limitations.
You may find that very old digital cameras only accept SD memory cards, not the newer SDHC and SDXC types. It’s always worth checking if an old camera has the latest firmware upgrade, because compatibility with newer memory card types is often added.
SDXC memory cards are the fastest of the three and boast the highest capacity. They are unlikely to be backwards compatible with older digital cameras. On the flip side, SD and SDHC memory cards are forwards compatible.
SD and SDHC cards are much more limited than SDXC in what capacity they offer and their read/ write speeds. Certainly, you won’t be able to get the most out of today’s high-performance digital cameras by using a 10-year-old SD memory card.
When SD cards were first launched, the capacity of the cards supplied with cameras would barely hold a single photo from one of the high-resolution cameras of today.
Fast forward almost 20 years and SDXC memory cards are available in capacities all the way up to a whopping 512GB.
The original SD memory card was eventually limited to 2GB capacity, while the SDHC memory card type (2.0 version) is limited to a maximum 32GB capacity. In general, card capacities double in size up to these values (e.g. 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB).
SDXC memory cards on the other hand offer a capacity up to 2TB. Currently the largest SDXC card capacity is 512GB, but don’t be surprised if a 1TB card is launched soon.
Read vs write speed
A card’s read and write speed values are indicated in megabytes per second (MB/s).
The write speed is how quick images can be saved to a card. Read speed is how quick the images can be transferred from card to computer.
When thinking if the card can cope with your camera’s high-speed and high-resolution shooting modes, consider the card’s write speed.
If however the speed of transferring images from card to a computer is also important to you, then look out for a solid read speed too. Generally, good read and write speeds go hand in hand.
Speed Class rating
OK this is a little complicated, but we’ll try to make the jargon as clear as possible.
Currently there are three main class ratings; the original Speed Class, ‘UHS’ Speed Class and ‘Video’ Speed Class. We’ll work in order of speed, from the oldest and slowest through to the cream of the crop.
For the original speed class there are four speeds; 2, 4, 6 and 10. Each respective number indicates the minimum sustained write speed, indicated in MB per second e.g. Class 10 is 10MB/s as a minimum, though its maximum can be much more.
All modern digital cameras could really do with a Class 10 memory card in order to get the best possible performance.
Then there are the UHS speed ratings. You’ll find either a UHS (U1) or UHS (U3).
Again, each indicates the minimum sustained write speed, this time by multiples of 10MB/s e.g. U1 is at least 10MB/s write speed and U3 is at least 30MB/s.
Confusingly, there is also UHS ‘Bus’ Speed: UHS-I and UHS-II, while UHS-III will be upon us soon – more on Bus Speed shortly.
While a UHS-I (U3) provides a minimum sustained write speed of 30MB/s, the UHS-I card type can provide up to 104MB/s transfer speed.
Thirdly, some cards also chuck in a Video Speed Class. Again, the numbers represent the minimum guaranteed sustained write speed, indicated in MB/s, between 6 and 90.
Currently we are at a maximum V30 (30MB/s) which is fast enough for 4k video recording, though in the future V60 and V90 will cater for 8k video recording.
It’s all a lot to take in. We can see that different speed classes indicate a minimum guaranteed performance and the upper limit of the card type’s potential performance. But in reality what does this all mean?
Class rating: Does speed matter?
Yes, speed matters.
The speed of a card affects the camera’s ability to process data and clear its buffer (the is, being ready to continue full performance). For example, a camera may offer 10 full-resolution photos per second for a sustained length of time. Yet if the memory card used in the camera cannot match that performance, the sequence will stop early.
Likewise, you may try to record a 4k video, only for the camera to inform you that a U3 class card is required (because it needs a minimum guaranteed 30MB/s speed). For example, the Sony a6500 shoots 4k video, but will only accept a minimum of UHS-I, Class 10, U3 memory card for 4k video.
However, the same camera accepts a slower UHS-I, Class 10, U1 card for other functions like taking pictures, but not for 4k video. Other cameras that shoot 4k video may accept a U1 card. This is partly down to the actual Megabits per second (Mbps) of the video recording – 4k video recording Mbps varies from camera to camera. (We’ll explain the difference between MB/s and Mbps later.)
Conversely, if your camera does not offer the latest and greatest video recording and high-speed shooting, then there is little point spending big on the fastest cards, when a cheaper/ slower card will suffice. Check what your camera can actually do and match your card purchase accordingly.
Mbps vs MB/s
MB/s and Mbps are not the same thing, here’s the difference:
- MB/s = Megabytes per second
- Mbps = Megabits per second
- 1 byte = 8 bits
Memory card speeds are advertised in MB/s, whereas a camera specifies Mbps. It’s confusing.
Let’s put this simply. Higher resolution videos have a higher bitrate (Mbps). 4k video recording has a higher bitrate than Full HD. Therefore, for 4k video recording, a high speed card is required in order for the card to keep up with the camera.
Camera and card manufacturers recommend a UHS-I Class 10 U3 card as minimum for 4k video recording. Some may function with a U1 card, but you may experience video frame losses.
Bus Speed: UHS-I and UHS-II
Not strictly a speed class, the Bus Speed indicates a maximum possible speed, not a minimum guaranteed sustained write speed.
We mentioned how a UHS-I U3 card guarantees 30MB/s, but this card has the potential for up to 104MB/s. The MB/s written on a memory card is its claimed maximum performance, yet these often prove inaccurate. This is where speed tests come in – just what is the card actually capable of?
Well, next up on the speed ranking is the UHS-II card, which offers up to three times the speed of a UHS-I card. Although limited to 312MB/s, we have not yet seen a UHS-II card better around half of that potential performance, with the fastest SD cards currently providing around 150MB/s transfer speed.
In reality, UHS-II cards perform today at around double the speed of comparable UHS-I cards.
Some top performing cameras are fast indeed. The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II shoots 60fps. The Sony a6500 shoots 4k video at 100Mbps.
Can a card keep up? With the performance of cameras being improved every time, using a UHS-II memory card is becoming all the more important for the top end cameras.
Although created more than 5 years ago, we are only starting to see UHS-II compatibility integrated in cameras more recently.
The Camera Memory Speed website. has a list of all the cameras that are UHS-II compatible
UHS-II cards are backwards compatible and use a different interface, as seen on the rear of the card.
Recently a UHS-III card type was announced. It features the same interface as a UHS-II card, yet will offer up to 624MB/s transfer rate.
- Speed Class (C): Speed Class indicates the minimum guaranteed sustained write speed in MB/s
- SD/ SDHC/ SDXC: Indicates the maximum possible capacity and speed rating as well as its compatibility with your camera
- UHS speed: U1 guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 10MB/s and U3 guarantees 30MB/s
- Bus Speed: UHS-I and UHS-II are the bus speed, which indicates the maximum possible read/ write speed of the card.
- Video class: A new class of 2016, video speed indicates the minimum guaranteed sustained write speed in MB/s
- Capacity: Indicated in GB, this is the maximum amount of data that can be stored on the memory card
- Lock: A security lock that when flicked down is on and will prevent the user taking more pictures on the card or editing the ones on there already
- MB/s: This is the claimed maximum write/ read speed of the card. This information is usually an estimate and rarely spot on
Go big or go small?
Compatibility aside, consumers have two real approaches to SD memory cards. Go big or go small. One large capacity card, or several smaller capacity cards to the same capacity value. What is the best way? Well, there are plusses to either approaches.
The larger the capacity of the card, the more you will pay. e.g. A SanDisk 256GB Extreme SDXC card has a street price of £180, while the same card in 128GB capacity is £85.
Notice, it can often be cheaper to buy multiple lower capacity cards than one card that contains the same capacity as all the other cards combined. In the above example you’ll save £10 by buying two 128GB cards instead of the 256GB card.
Storing your data on multiple small capacity memory cards can be beneficial. If you lose one it is of less value and contains less of your precious images on it.
You are also forced more often to process the images on a card if it fills up quicker, so your images see the light of day more often.
However, large capacity cards have obvious plus sides too. You are less likely to be interrupted mid shoot (or even midway through a video recording) with a message from the camera saying card full. Replacing cards mid shoot is another thing to worry about.
It’s also easier to keep track of what is on each card when there are less of them in your kit bag.
SD card maintenance
So you’ve purchased the memory card, but a couple of housekeeping notes are useful to avoid any mishaps with the card.
If the card is being used in multiple cameras, it is advisable to format the memory card before using it in another camera.
Formatting a memory card erases all the data on it. Therefore, before formatting a memory card, ensure all the treasured images stored on it are backed up.
Some cards are advertised as shock proof/ freeze proof/ waterproof, while others not. The reality is that all cards feature proofing, it’s just not that all are advertised that way. Don’t pay more for a card based solely on how tough it is claimed to be.
Ultimately, although SD cards are tough, it is advisable to store them in a SD card case when they are not in use and avoid mishandling

Below, we describe how to access log outputs and show a sample debugging flow. We are still currently working on making logs more accessible and improving the debugging flow.
There are two main ways to access logs.
Logs are automatically output onto the cluster, in the file
You can ssh into the cluster with
ssh cluster-name to access these logs.
Alternatively, to see logs on your local machine while running a remote function, you can add the
stream_logs=True argument to your function call.
remote_fn = rh.function(fn) fn(fn_args, stream_logs=True)
For general debugging that doesn’t occur within remote function calls, you can add
import pdb; pdb.set_trace() whereever you want to set your debugging session.
If the code is being run locally at the point of the debugger, you’ll be able to access the session from your
local machine. If the code is being run remotely on a cluster, you will need to ssh into the cluster with
ssh cluster-name, and then run
screen -r inside the cluster. From there, you will see the RPC logs
being printed out, and can debug normally inside the
When debugging inside
screen, please use
Ctrl A+D to exit out of the screen. Do NOT use
which will terminate the RPC server.
If you accidentally terminate the RPC server, you can run
cluster.restart_server() to restart the
For debugging remote functions, which are launched using
ray, we can utilize Ray’s debugger. Add a
breakpoint() call inside the function where you want to start the debugging session, then ssh into the
ssh cluster-name, and call
ray debug to view select the breakpoint to enter. You can run
pdb commands within the debugging session, and can refer to
Ray Debugger for more information.
