Heuristic neuroadaptive autoreparameterization algorithm.


Abbreviated to HNAA? Not good.

All you guys are going for descriptives, and that was apparently what
the OP asked for. But the Great Unwashed doesn't want descriptives, they
want the 'magic ingredient'. In toothpaste and detergents it can be
'magick-ium' but that form doesn't suit electronics. It has to be a
'-tron' or a 'tor', or perhaps a '-ser'.

and mix...

Somewhat depressing...

Better to change our system so that insincere voting 'goes away' and multiparty
candidates can have their truer support demonstrated by the voting process.
Actually, the same system works equally well in any case where there are more
than two alternatives and the real choice with the greater support should be
chosen.

I would strongly advise you not to rely on that. Do you know the story
of the priest and the three helicopters? (No nun or actress, I'm
afraid.)

I thought it was 2 helicopters and a rowboat.

How about a small bilge pump for a boat 12 v or one for a live well
also a aireator to pump air will cause ice not to form too they make
them for minnow buckets to circulate water

hi...

i have a university design project to complete. the topic
given to me is optical transmitter receiver. can anyone give me some
tips or ideas for this design?

Well, they probably want you to come up with some kind of optical
transmitter, and some kind of optical receiver, and they probably
want you to couple them together.

What part is it you don't understand?

Thanks,
Rich

If it's fairly narrowband the standard thing to do is to heterodyne it
down to something more reasonable and count that.

A narrow-band square wave I'd very much like to see. (;-)


A 35 GHz square wave is what I want to see!

Thx,

This very group had an extended thread on this subject, started by Mr
Beaty as I recall. Nothing he says is remarkable: a short antenna can
be matched with a high-Q tuning network such that it radiates like a
longer antenna. And antannas are reciprocal devices. So a short
receive antenna can be tuned to radiate or gather as much energy as,
say, a half-wave dipole. It just takes a very high-Q matching network;
the smaller the antenna, the higher the Q.

The ball-lightning and stuff seems over the top, though.

Looking around, I see that new 3RP1A's are being imported from China, otherwise
all the scope tubes I see seem to be replacements for brand X model Y scope
or pulls from old scopes. There seems to be a minor market in used
ATC-style vectorscopes which are somehow magnetically deflected? Don't
understand what's inside them and unless they're easily turned into X-Y
instruments I don't care.

Tim.

Used Tek X-Y boxes show up on ebay fairly often; I've bought a couple.
But I've seen mostly smaller ones, not 8-10".

What are you making? Could you fake it with a computer monitor and
some ADCs?

Yeah, it's a nice vision. I'm afraid the old boys are pretty firmly
entrenched by now, though. It's going to take something pretty drastic
to make any significant change. I hope it's sooner than later.

I think it's something that we can push for -- but we need to push and ask.
It's not like we are changing the very purpose of voting -- in fact, we'd be
attempting to improve its quality.

I think this will have to first become an experimental deal in a smaller state,
where those with very high-dollar vested interests won't be quite so motivated
to fight it tooth-and-nail. I think Oregon might be a good test state,
actually. One the idea is "out there" and "working well," then it may be too
late to stop its spread in places where those moneyed interests might really
care a lot more.

I may actually have a few "new" (meaning unused) round faced Tektronix ones in
boxes in the garage. I could look. But not the square ones, if I recall.

I have the IBM docs on the electrical and software on the AT keyboard and I

actually want to do the electrical interface design, though? (It's not hard.)

Have you already looked around on the web? If so, what have you found that does
NOT meet your needs but does seem to get kind of close?

I've said that Bush is a total failure, when I've asked for something he has

I have no idea what your application is, but you can still get used X-Y
monitors over in the vintage video arcade circles for under $500. If it
can
apply to you, go post in reg.games.video.arcade.collecting for further
details.

I've yet to see a video game that ran electrostatic deflection.
