General Motors used those to install their under dash 8-track tape
decks in the '70s. I would just push really hard against the head with a
large screwdriver, and back them out, rather than pay $8 to replace them
after a unit was repaired. Everyone told me that it couldn't be done,
but they just didn't have enough strength for the task.

If you're looking for reliable you should check M-Disc.

http://www.mdisc.com/

Fry's will sell an LG M-Disc DVD drive for $15, $13 when it's 'on sale'. Amazon has LG BluRay M-Dsic drives for <%50. We've been experimenting at work with M-Disc DVDs and Blu Ray drives. So far it's going well.

I use Burn Aware free for writing to various formats, CD to BluRays.

And ever will, you fucks come out of the schools hot to trot but cannot make a simple OP AMP circuit, and asking you to really design like with bipolar transistors would send you to the hospital, FETs or tubes, just looking at them would kill you.

Keep your skills honed on those apps dudes, but when the real engineers run out you will have no screens on which to display your games, nor power supplies to feed them.

22 LR thru the left ear generally works. Sorry but I digress. High powered high frequency audio comes to mind. Gets rid of rats too, sometimes.

specialized in the production of high-end photoimageable PCB ink.

We passed the ISO9001 quality standard identification.and ISO14001.



Our Main products:

PISM white colour RS-2000 (W series)for LED ( patent products ),

PISM white colour matt for automative (we have TS16949 certificate , in Europe our RS-2000 WDM already be appointed to use in Automative industry,so there are a lot of PCB factory from china ,from korea ,from Thailand are buying RS-2000 WDM for their Europe automotive order).



Electronica spray ink RS-2000 SP(our electronica spray ink is sucessful in Korea market already)

PISM green colour RS-2000GL

All of our products are approved by UL ,(UL filenumber :E-310593).



Main customers in china :Founder technology ,Tiger builder ,Red board ,KB

,mankun and so on.



Due to we are setting up a new factory ,the total produce capacity will

reach 800tons per month.



In order to meet the new capacity we must develop oversea market largely

with very competitive price.



Our oversea market is developing very fast on the basis of our competitive

price ,stable quality ,excellent service.

Now our oversea market is :korea ,russia ,india ,parkistan,saudi,brazil

,usa,vietnam,turkey,Iran,malaysia and so on.



Consindering the cost ,now more and more PCB manufacturers choose china

mainland PCB ink supplier.



Now we are developing your market,so if we can get cooperation chance from

you then we will be very much appreciated.



Looking forward to hearing from you and best regards.

PBC's without solder mask in the environment I described? If so, are there
other ways to weather-proof a PCB?

I am assuming that one reason foor a solder mask is to protect the traces from
corrosion. What are the other reasons for having a mask??

Thanks.

As others mentioned, Conformal coating and Potting compound are your options.

(Solder mask only partially protects the copper traces. Your parts and solder
joints are still exposed to the air.)

Be sure to thoroughly test the circuit *before* you do the coating or potting.
Rework is much more difficult afterward! (Some conformal coatings are easier
to remove than others.). Keep conformal coating or potting compound off of
certain parts - heat sinks, transducers, mechanicals, etc. Test your circuit
again, after coating or potting, to make sure it still performs to spec, and
doesn't run too hot.

...Jim Thompson

You may be testing your own tolerance. I actually tried that, a couple
of 555's to sweep the frequency because I didn't know what would work.
I had a driver transistor coupled to a tweeter.

Forget 555's, go for 4093 schmitt trigger oscillators driving dual swept
sine waves from a johnson count 4017 IIRC with resistors tailored for
sine wave generation at 1/10 the 4093 drive easily cleaned up with low
pass driven hard with whatever you like.
I've used FET and bipolar.

It made the barking much worse... But the neighbor did get rid of the
dog; but he may have been planning on that anyway and I wasn't going to
tell him about my sweeper experiment.

See later post about trigger on bark, not mine.

Interesting thing was I had some squirrels that were raising a family in
my attic (chewed through an eave vent) and after the dog was gone I put
the sonic sweeper in the attic and the squirrels found other lodgings.

Now I never thought to trigger on bark.
Negative reenforcement, I like.

Why is that negative reinforcement and not positive?


Negative is when you want an animal (person) to stop doing something.
Positive is when you want them to do something.

If you wanted to teach the dog to bark at something, you give them a treet
when they bark at the correct thing. That would be the positive .

I know what positive and negative reinforcement are.

"Negative reinforcement occurs when the rate of a behavior increases
because an aversive event or stimulus is removed or prevented from
happening."

"Positive reinforcement occurs when a desirable event or stimulus is
presented as a consequence of a behavior and the behavior increases."

I'm asking you how you know just how the dog will perceive the noise.
What makes you think the noise won't make the animal bark *more*?
Haven't you ever heard one dog start barking in response to another dog
bark?

When it comes to broadcast TV I try to solder every connection possible.
Every crimp is one more dB lost.

100% of the RF connectors I use for mountain top radio sites that I
deal with are crimped, not soldered. Well, maybe a few soldered
abominations such as PL-259 connectors.

Ye olde PL-259. How I despised those things.

The losses per connector are quite low. For example, here's a string
of random adapters:
http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/antennas/connector-loss/slides/Adapter%20Colluge.html
http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/antennas/connector-loss/
That's about 15 assorted adapters (30 connections) showing 2dB loss at
2.4 GHz or:
2dB / 30 = 0.07 dB loss per connection.
Unless you're working with high power levels, the connector loss is
not a problem.

Unless you're working with microwave frequencies, mismatch loss is
also not much of a problem. For example, if you insert a section of
75 ohm coaxial cable into your system, a TDR would certainly show an
impedance bump far larger than what might be produced by a solder
blob. However, the losses are fairly trivial. Much depends on the
frequency of operation. If you're doing microwave, then precision is
required. If you're doing lower frequencies, you can be fairly sloppy
and things will still work quite well.

Cut-n-pasted from my previous rant on the topic from
rec.radio.amateur.antenna.

Let's pretend that I mix in a 75 ohm coax connector into a
50 ohm system. Depending on the location of this "impedance bump",
the VSWR is no more than 1.5:1 which is generally considered marginal.
That's 0.18dB of mismatch loss.
http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedia/calvswr.cfm
If you're doing satellite or microwave DX work, then 0.18dB might be
important. However, for most other applications, it's a trivial
amount.

You might be amused to know that most of my rooftop antennas are fed
with 75 ohm coax and that my favored antenna designs are also 75 ohm.
There are various reasons, but the main one is that coax cable losses
are less at 75 ohms, than at 50 ohms. 50 ohms can handle more power,
but 75 ohms has less loss.
http://www.belden.com/blog/broadcastav/50-Ohms-The-Forgotten-Impedance.cfm
The only problems I have with 75 ohms is finding the proper connectors
and dealing with the pads needed to make my 50 ohm test equipment look
like 75 ohms. (Actually the real reason is that the 75 ohm stuff is
mostly CATV surplus, which tends to be really cheap).

They are OK, if you know how to use them. With RG8, I would tin the
braid, then use a small tubing cutter to trim it to the right length.
Then I would drill the plating out of the four holes before soldering
the shell to the braid. I never had one fail, when I used that method.
Of course, it made it difficult to reuse a connector without heating the
shell over an open flame for a few seconds so that you could pull out
the old braid.

I had some CBer swear that he could pull the PL259 off of any piece
of coax. You should have seen his hands after he tried it on one of my
cables.

Motorola used them on mobile and fixed end equipment for the longest time. Then on fixed end they mostly went to N-type. Then they went to the mini PL-259 on mobile units which are really junk. Anything for a buck I guess.
