No, it's interment that gets you into earthworms. Especially if you go
to Ilkley Moor for romantic pursuits without your hat.

All I've found on Ilkley Moor is some pictures of some rolling hills.
Would you be so kind as to enlighten us, or at least me, on your reference

I'm a bit surprised that your search didn't turn up the National Anthem
of Free and Independent Yorkshire.

This should do:

I want to see more polling statistics like the District of Columbia:
Kerry:86%, Bush:9%, Nader:5% - now those are reasonable numbers.

My favorite statistic for DC is their number of electors.

They don't come much more sensitive than that.

If we're letting electron multiplication into the picture, we should
also mention the electron-multiplying CCD (L3CCD, for Low Light Level).
This is an ordinary CCD with a hundred or so extra bucket brigade stages
in the output section. In this extra section, one of the three phases
runs at much higher voltage, like 50V. Each electron has a small chance
(say 5%) of generating another one by impact ionization on each
shift--so the gain is (1+5/100)**100 ~ exp(5). The gain can be varied
smoothly from 1.0 to some high value like 100, just by changing the
voltage on one phase.

The great things about these, as contrasted with a photomultiplier, are:
1. Spatial resolution, and 2. Low noise. In a L3CCD with a per-stage
gain of 1+epsilon, the 1 is deterministic and only the epsilon is a
Poisson process, quite unlike any other high-gain
electron-multiplication scheme. As the gain goes from 1 to infinity,
the standard deviation of the number of electrons goes from sqrt(N) to
sqrt(2N), where N is measured after multiplication. Really a thing of
great beauty, even if somebody else thought it up (Jerry Hynecek of
TI). Unfortunately, they still cost the earth.

detection amplifier for VPCCD devices", IEEE trans on electron devices

Oh, the people must be protected from subversive ideas like in

The Bush-Cheney-Runsfeld cabal sounds like they intend to save our

And I can't believe that there are otherwise reasonable, intelligent

It's contrary to the intent of the Founding Fathers, you know.

Self-bias the jfet with resistor R, and measure the
voltage across it. This gives you the Vgs and Id.

Use two values of R, say 1k and 5k, and plug the
results into the Id = Idss(etc) equation. Solve the
two equations for Idss and Vgs(off).

You've been wandering around this problem for days now.
It might help if you could get hold of an old Siliconix
Technical Article, TA70-2, first published in Electronics
Design in May 1970, then included in the App Notes at the
rear of most Siliconix FET data books for the next 15 or
20 years thereafter.

TA70-2 shows you how to plot Id/Vgs and gfs/Vgs curves
and use them to determine the best bias point for minimum
Id and gfs variations.

Thanks, Tony. Sorry for the delay in replying but I've been a bit tied
up today what with one thing and another. I do have a useful app note
from Siliconix, but mine deals with biasing for wide parameter
variations in all sorts of configurations. It's very readable and
interesting. I'll study your response in full as soon as time
permiits.
Thanks again,

Do you mean as the patient? Would you like to try something a little
less intrusive, if a little silly-sounding at first?

When you get an "attack" of your noise, listen to it, as if it's
a radio station that's almost swamped in static (or whatever it
sounds like to you) and see if you can imagine it as some form
of communication, maybe hyperspace radio from aliens, or something;
listen with an attitude maybe something like, "Well, the guy's taking a
flight of fancy, but what's wrong with playing pretend just this once,
just so I can tell him he's wrong." And actually try to "actively
listen," as I said, like you're trying to pick a single conversation
out of a crowd, or whatever way you feel like "listening" to
your tinnitus.

Every now and then I get a mild ringing in my ears, as I suppose
almost everybody does from time to time, and I've tried that
listen-to-it trick, and it makes it go away.

Let me know what happens, OK?

"Slaughter your family now - Satan commands it!"


Well, as long as you know who it's from, you still have the power to
use your common sense and mutiny. ;-)

Free Will is an illusion...
[see other thread for references]

But - did the noise go away?

The sound of gunfire and screaming drowns it out...

Yes, in my limited experience. I have mild, intermittent 'tonal'

often persists for several hours.

And how frequency stable is the tinnitus?
