Don't waste your time on him- this Ratch maggot traces to Minnesota- he
lies about seeing anyone walking around nude, men kissing in public, or
men holding hands.

This is a small world. While the above scenes are not predominate like
in Crisco, they do happen sometimes. Anyway the mass media keep us informed
about what happens elsewhere. And what goes no there will sooner or later
come here.

He is a brainwashed moron suckered into joining the
religious right on this issue- Jerry Falwell routinely sends undercover
cameras into gay events and rallies to capture all this stuff on video
and then sells the garbage to his followers.

All vituperative speculation and untrue.

Ratch is the kind of moron
who gave us four more years- happy now?

Yes, it turned better that I hoped. Relatively little election conflict
and a gracious concession from the loser. Ratch

Want to talk about something that should not be tolerated? Then let's
talk about giving tax exempt status to a highly politicized religious

Yes, I believe that should stop. Also churches should pay property
taxes because they use the public services like fire, police, etc.

The last election selection proved you wrong. Not only was the

I get no tax dollars for what I promulgate! Ratch

"Jewish" is NOT a nationality... it's a religion. "Israeli" is a
nationality.

It's both.

See the Random House Websters Unabridged Dictionary. Ratch

Jew n.
1. one of a scattered group of people that traces its descent from the
Biblical Hebrews or from postexilic adherents of Judaism; Israelite.
2. a person whose religion is Judaism.
3. a subject of the ancient kingdom of Judah.

It is not democracy to abuse the position of President to mislead the
American public, it is not democracy to suppress the vote, and it is not
democracy to steal the elections.

Geez, Frank. If they "stole" the elections, it was by having all
the churchy ladies' aid societies phoning everybody in town,
asking them, "Do you want us to keep George and be safe, or
vote for that flipflopping gigolo, and have a terrorist suicide-
bomb your kids' school Nov. 3?"

Nothin' to it.

Thanks,

As Jim Thompson pointed out, "Jewish" isn't a nationality, it's a
religion, and as such may cause people who believe in its tenets to
behave in a manner which _you_ might consider abnormal or aberrant.

Perhaps even abnormal enough to _do_ something about?

Well, I have heard that they have a ritual where they mutilate
their male children.

Shudder!

Unfit, near-illiterate recruits are being given frontline roles in

damning report has found.

Soldiers are not traditionally noted for their literacy and intellectual skills.
Traditionally, in peacetime, they are the dregs of society.

Hi to all,
I would like to know some informations about bandpass filtering on
frequency range between 0.05-30 Hz. In the past I've used a Sallen-key
active filter, and I would like to find a more performing solution.
What IC can I use to implement it?

Thanks for your attention.

Alessandro

VERY LOW FREQUENCY filters are difficult since the dissipation factor
of typical capacitors dominates (and deteriorates) the performance,
particularly in a production environment where repeatability is
important.


How so? I'd suspect a polycarb or something decent would have a very
low df in the sub-Hz range. Numbers like 1 uF and 10 megohms seem
perfectly nice to me, with fet opamps.

John


John,

What kind of df do you get with polycarb caps?

My experience is primarily with (NPO) chip caps for hybrids, which is
why I utilized the "p+1" method... then you can tolerate horrible df
before it even tweaks you a dB.

...Jim Thompson


I've used them in sample-hold and precision integrator circuits, and
the DFs are tiny, below 0.1% I'm guessing. Polypropylene is good too,
polysulfone (hard to find nowadays) is better. Mylar sucks.

Larger ceramics are terrible, and even NPOs are mediocre. The biggest
NPO I've ever seen was only 22 nF.

Right, there are filter designs that adjust for lossy caps.

John

You can buy much bigger NPO caps (say 1uF 200V) but they cost $$$$$ and
are made in very low volumes.

Cheers
Terry

I don't know the OP's desired current range, but why not an LM317 plus

I believe that references to crds are to 1N5293 and similar parts,
introduced in the early 60s by Teledyne, and their lack of popularity,
due primarily to cost. The cost is inherent with any production
incolving batch sorting - which is required due to uncontrolled
parametric variations that occur in jfet mfring.

The cost couldn't compete with discrete alternatives then, when IC's
and discretes were relatively expensive; they definitely can't compete
in comercial applications now, if pricing is still in the dollar
range.

The only advantage then, as now, is reduced part count, real estate
and infrastructure (ie costs of selecting and testing in-house) for
mil, aerospace and zero-G or similar type environments. It has to be
mighty expensive real estate and infrastructure, before their logical
use comes into play.
