Very good!

I thought he invented the random state machine.

A cute novelty item that would be a huge seller. A Kerry position
predictor.

Press a button and hundreds of positions on Iraq, Viet Nam, terror,
and weapons funding would scroll by until the display stops on one.

One could sell ROM modules with more positions as new ones arise over
the next 6 weeks. Even better, a built in receiver could be tuned to a
Zogby real time poll tabulator. If any new position actually resonates
with anyone and the polls shift slightly anyone who has a Kerry
position toy that predicted the right position gets a free prize.

I if could only tool up in week!

And what is it that the Bushheads intend to do in Iraq? Just keep spawning
suicide bombers until they wipe out Islam by attrition?

How about a GW Bush language translator so we know what he's talking
about?

What's to translate? EVerythign he says is just a way of avoiding

saying "Make the World safe for rich fat decadent white anglo-saxon
portestants."

Get a clue, amerika!

Human perception of brightness is proportional to pulse width for
pulses shorter than approx 10ms. In other words a 1ms pulse appears
much dimmer than a 10ms pulse, but a 100ms pulse does not appear
brighter than a 10ms pulse.

Here is a circuit that demonstrates the phenomenon:

White LEDs become inefficient at high currents. This is because the
fluorescent material saturates. Use non-white LEDs to avoid that.

I don't think the waveform matters all that much. The inductor is charged
up
whilst the input to the driver MOSFET is high, and then discharged into
the
LEDs when the input goes low and the MOSFET turns off. I changed the 1 mH
inductor to 330 uH, adjusted the pulse frequency and it worked, producing
a
quite blinding flash (about 200 mA through the LEDs). This was just in
time
for my client to demonstrate a working prototype to his customer today.


What's the intended application for this, Leon?

LED flashing beacon. There's a microcontroller in it as well, generating the
pulses, and interfacing some switches.

The single IC is the ROM, a Read-Only-Memory with a cosine lookup

New definition of "Single" today, John?

I intend to design a device to measure the power factor without the
use of a microcontroller. In the design, the measured angle will be
given by a simple DC voltage, e.g. 30° = pi/6 rad = 0.523 V

A problem that occurs is calculating the cosine of this voltage. In a
discrete setup, I will use Taylor series and realise it with analog
multipliers and a few operational amplifiers.

Why are you using such a messy way of doing it?

I suggest:

Run the voltage into an AGC

Run the current into a comparitor.

Use the output of the comparitor to sync. demod. the AGCed voltage.

I am trying to design a transimpedance circuit for very high

datasheet. Its a basic transimpedance configuration using a 1Gohm

1GOhm? I have a couple of those between my ears ;-)

[snip]

I am using this for outdoors flouroscopy (of oil), it will be facing
concrete and/or fairly level water in bright sunlight, so it needs to
be very immune to strong DC signals.

The signal will be at ~1khz. (its a pulsed uv light)


Asa

The only way to avoid sunlight type biasing is to utilize a (low-pass)
current feedback loop to null the "DC" component.

Do you really need the 1GOhm effective transconductance? Maybe do it
in several stages separated by high-pass (active) filters.

the role oh such a high power source is to maintain the magnetic Field

That just needs a pulse - not continuous DC. Somewhat simpler !

What pulse width is required ? Repetition rate ?

This is a 135K Watt output so you will need a special supply to provide
enough input power for such a beast.

Typical AC wall plug won't get it (typical 1.8k Watt)

Indian wall sockets are 15A @ 230 or 240V - i.e. ~ 3.5kW

Interesting how you would describe a FACTUAL description of the Iraq
situation as "negative campaigning"- when you really mean the deserved
negative effect it will have on the crooked Bush mob. And as for the
undecideds, it is interesting and telling that the Bush approach is to
keep the undecideds undecided through misinformation, whereas the Kerry
approach is to convert the undecideds into the decided- an educated and
informed voter is no longer an undecided voter. People need to take a
look at that and realize what's going on here.


Fred,

I will agree that Kerry is converting undecideds into decided: decided for Bush.

Tom

Not quite- the Kerry campaign has now attained the status of a
bipartisan coalition of the responsible.

Digital fever temperature thermometers (wherever you stick them)
are ubiquitous these days, especially with mercury being a no-no to
the current generation. (Hey, we all played with it when we were
kids, and we're perfectly normal, right? ;-) )

What's the temperature sensor in these? Cheap LM35-style sensors
have a rated accuracy of 1 degree C, which is like 2 degrees F, and
I think for this application a thermometer would need much better
accuracy - better than half a degree F, or preferably a tenth of a
degree F (which is the display precision of most of the consumer devices).
There are better versions of these temp sensors but none rated to
be better than half a degree, as far as I can tell.

Maybe there's a special class of LM35-style sensors which can be
factory-calibrated to be known good to a tenth of a degree F near 98.6F?

They use an inexpensive precision thermistor. The technology was
developed in Japan, in conjuction with an MCU company which developed
the original processor. Cheaper and better than an LM35, and they
don't require power supply regulation.

That document reads like something produced by Hitler's Third Reich- a
total fraud. You might note most of the claims boil down to bureaucratic
bs about starting this, planning that, and auditing something else- a
lot of tabulated garbage about throwing away vast amounts intended to
give the impression that it is actually buying something. The actual
accomplishments are nearly nil-and that is because much of this work is
being sabotaged and the international NGO's have fled or are in the
process of evacuating the country. I rate this total government bullsh_t
along the lines of Bush's comments on the Iraqi Olympic soccer team- how
wonderful- they turned around and bitch-slapped him by saying they
*hate* America and will become insurgents when they return home.




K does seem singularly inept. He keeps pushing his Vietnam heroism
(all four months of it!) despite the fact that most people simple
don't want to be bothered (if they don't remember Nam) or don't want
to be reminded (if they do.) And his Iraq failure-wishing isn't
winning him many friends, either. He's like a bad chess player who's
way behind in the game: every move makes things worse.

It only seems that way to someone like who lacks any ability for
objectivity. I sure hope you never have to design anything important,
you are an airhead.

W may not be the brightest star in the heavens, but I think the theme
of this election will be

Did you hear that your moron "boy" there did it again at the press
conference at the UN- another unscripted comment indicating vacuous
cerebral inactivity- something along the lines of US intelligence is not
to be used to make decisions, it is for pushing ideological and
political agendas. Now if that does not convince you that you have a
thoroughly disturbed incompetent not fit to be in *any* leadership
position, then you are also a seriously disturbed incompetent! You're
another venal piece of trash who is enjoying some increased income due
to a tax rollback. WELL I SURE DO HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR $5 LATTES, YOUR
FRIGGIN VACATIONS IN VAIL, YOUR "FAB" GOURMET FOODS AND ALL YOUR OTHER
FRIGGIN SELF-INDULGENCES while millions of victims, both American and

A recently completed *scientific* survey by the The American Jewish

vote for right now" question. These are *very* good results and
illustrate that *INFORMED* people give Kerry overwhelming support:

There is plenty of time for Kerry to attain the double digit lead he
deserves once people get past the cartoon presentation and dirty tricks
of that Texas mob and start thinking like mature, reasoning, and
responsible adults.


Now all you have to do is keep everybody but Jews from voting.

Nah- that's your party's tactic.

It is called a "push" survey- of no scientific worth. There are phony
electoral vote maps all over the web, and now CNN has joined them. You
really should pay attention to the snakes who hired you- the CNN release
is actually an act of desperation. If you knew anything at all about

It should be pointed out (once again) that there's a repetition
frequency region that's especially noticeable (irritating) to
humans. We're very sensitive to the 10 to 35Hz region, because
this is faster than the slow adaptation region that's ignored
(an important biologically-adaptive fact of psychophysics, where
bright irradiance is ignored, yet a quick reflex response saves
lives), and slower than a "too fast" response that our receptors
simply can't respond to.

And I'd like to also point out this is the flicker region where
flashing lights are "in your face" and drive one nuts saying,
"Turn that off!" It's certainly NOT a matter of a nice steady
light that appears brighter because one selected a magic duty
cycle and frequency.
