Hi Rich,

Failing that, look for the 4020/4040/4060 - the 4060 has its own
internal oscillator. You can get an arbitrary time delay with one
of these and a little bit of logic.


Excellent advice. When stuff goes past the one minute marker these 4000

logic choices are clearly better than some RC combination on a one-shot.

Mr Lee did some very strange stuff, played the race card, and got off

His midnight downloads made me suspect his guilt. Then I heard an
interview (CSPAN) and changed my mind.

Do you have a leech agent? Ever leech websites or ftp sites thinking
they might disappear? Honestly, if I had access to computers with a
great deal of information, I would be greatly tempted to "back it up" also.

Especially if I thought dimly of my prospects of prolonged employment

Another thing which greatly made me suspect his innocents was the
account when a visiting Chinese diplomat, a military officer who had
tried to recruit him years earlier when he was visiting relatives in
China, showed up at a conference.

Lee donned a tie (scientists at national labs do not wear ties, the
"suits" are management and DOE people) strode right up and re-acquainted
himself in front of all present!

Spies do not do such insane things. Scientists pissed off at being
suspected for spying and being harassed do such things to spite the
management that is fucking with their head.

Some years ago colleagues discovered that there was a "go into cycling the
address counter round and round till power down" instruction. We had to
include hardware to detect such an occurance (that itself being a failure of
program memory).
The alternative was to ask the pilots of 737s to turn the aircraft off for a
few moments then restart - difficult when flying.

But if you use Godel factoring:

Good Godel!

Given 32 bits I have my choice of 4.3 billion phrases. That's more

One can always shift knowledge from the decoding algorithm to the data.

any guidance will be useful

Use the same formula for calculating resistor values as you would for
gains of unity or larger.

For inverting gain this is simply Rf/Rin.

For noninverting gain, you will have to attenuate the input signal by
at least 50%, before the noninverting input.

HI,All

I have an oscilloscope in hands and I want to let it access to the
internet then I can "see and operate" it from distance (in an intranet
actually).BUT-this oscilloscope could obtain a dynamic IP address,
which is private IP address. This is the first step, next I must tell
this IP and MAC to the administrator to get a new IP address.
Here is the problem:
I must know the MAC or physical address because in my area the network
administrator only assigns IP address combined with MAC address.

How can I solve it?

Buy the way , it's a Tektronix one with E-scope function.

Do you have the ability to set the settings on the scope? Just set it
for DHCP, and tell the sys admin that you have a DHCP device you're
plugging in. His DHCP daemon will assign an IP address, and retrieve
the MAC address, so he can run his script and update his configs. ;-)

Some admins 'lock down' their DHCP servers so they only issue IPs to
known MAC addresses.

Isn't it also true that taking the product of the instantaneous values
(i.e., analog multiplier), as long as it's a sine wave, automagically
gives you the same answer as RMS? That is "real power", after all, isn't

With any signal, the product of the instantaneous values is the power.
With Sine waves, the RMS values can be multiplied but then you need to
correct for the phase.

BTW: I think many of the micros on the market contain ADC that are fast
enough that doing the converting and multiplying in the micro may save you
some money.

I doubt that China has used threats. They tend to end the discussion. A

I think the best would be for Kim to have a little accident when in China

I have a logic line that goes 0 to 5V. I need to turn that into

The basic idea is to supply the two switching MOSFETs
from 0.25A constant current sources (which, in normal
operation, run bottomed). If Vout is pulled away from
where it should be then Iout is limited.

Then have some sort of Vout detector and drive shutoff.

An outside-the-12v-rails detector could simply shut off
both drives.

A strobed detector system might be considered, where
individual Vout detectors are strobed by their respective
drive signals and used for shutoff. This might be able
to detect Vouts that are not where they should be, but
still within the 12v rails.

There is no need to get paranoid. And for God's sake don't let other
kids think you are paranoid, they will make a real play on that.

I worked in a small town with a bunch of disgruntled union folk abused
by the corporation for years. They warned me people that bug get bugged,
I never did but that didn't stop them from tormenting me for the hell of
it, because every rat-race is stabilized by choosing and beating up a
whipping-boy.

The best thing to do is, if they assholes are worth tolerating, is to
find someone weaker and torment the shit out of them. Give as good as
you get.

OnT:

Just do a good physical inspection. If anyone is interested in metal
detectors and NLJ's (non-linear junction detectors), perhaps we can
start a yahoo or source-forge project. Commercially, the cost
kilo-bucks, but the parts can be had for under $50 bucks, and could be
very effective for detecting all but the best shielded electronics.

There is also a document on the web somewhere that details the emi put
out by various video cameras, which can be detected (provided they are
operating) by near-field magnetic probes with sensitive amplifiers.

But in the end, its best not to associate with assholes.

Please give specific citations. If true, this is very important. But I

IIRC the Navy did some studies, as have the Soviets, and found the earth

The Persinger stuff is pretty far out, although some other studies have
