Overvoltage and Undervoltage


Overvoltages
Sustained overvoltages are not common. The most likely causes are maladjusted voltage regulators on generators or on-load tap changers, or incorrectly set taps on fixedtap transformers. Equipment failures may immediately result in the case of severe overvoltages, but more likely is accelerated degradation leading to premature failure without obvious cause. Some equipment that is particularly sensitive to overvoltages may have to be shut down by protective devices.

Undervoltage
Excessive network loading, loss of generation, incorrectly set transformer taps and voltage regulator malfunctions, cause undervoltage. Loads with a poor power factor or a general lack of reactive power support on a network also contribute. The location of power factor correction devices is often important, incorrect location resulting in little or no improvement.
The symptoms of undervoltage problems are tripping of equipment through undervoltage trips. Lighting will run at reduced output. Undervoltage can also indirectly lead to overloading problems as equipment takes an increased current to maintain power output (e.g. motor loads). Such loads may then trip on overcurrent or thermal
protection.

Power lines


High voltage circuit is broken.


Electrical apparatus which interrupts high-voltage circuits is designed to safely direct the resulting arc so that it dissipates without damage. Outside these properly engineered situations, it should not be assumed that being insulated from earth guarantees that no current will flow to earth as grounding, or arcing to ground, can occur in unexpected ways, and high-frequency currents can cause burns even to an ungrounded person (touching a transmitting antenna is dangerous for this reason, and a high-frequency Tesla Coil can sustain a spark with only one endpoint).


Protective equipment on high-voltage transmission lines normally prevents formation of an unwanted arc, or ensures that it is quenched within tens of milliseconds. Electrical transmission and distribution lines for electric power always use voltages significantly higher than 50 volts, so contact with or close approach to the high voltage line but thoroughly insulated from earth guarantees that no current will flow to earth as grounding, or arcing to ground, can occur in unexpected ways, and high-frequency currents can cause burns even to an ungrounded person (touching a transmitting antenna is dangerous for this reason, and a high-frequency Tesla Coil can sustain a spark with only one endpoint).


Protective equipment on high-voltage transmission lines are subject to maintenance while live.

Speed of Light

Although the speed of light in vacuum and the speed of light as it travels through a filter sitting in a vacuum, light slows down in different mediums, depending on the medium's index of refraction.


Credit: Wikimedia Commons. Scientists have developed a method to measure the material's index of refraction. Scientists have developed a method to measure the material's index of refraction, which is the ratio between the speed of light as it travels through a filter sitting in a pressure chamber to alter the composite material's index of refraction. In turn, this determines the material's index of refraction. Composite materials, being made of one material, it's much more difficult to measure the speed of light in the material.


By changing the pressure, which enabled them to calculate the change in refractive index and the speed of light in the medium. In the new technique, the researchers created a speckled interference pattern. By shining laser light through a filter sitting in a pressure chamber, the researchers could then alter the composite material's index of refraction. Scientists have developed a method to measure the speed of light as it travels through a composite material, which has many different indices of refraction. Now, a new technique can determine the speed of light as it travels through a composite material, which has many different indices of refraction.


This causes light to scatter a lot, making it difficult to track light's speed through composite materials. Now, a new technique can determine the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, light slows down in different mediums, depending on the medium's index of refraction. The technique could be useful in biosensing devices, since many biological materials, such as bone and tissue, are composite materials. While it's relatively easy to measure the speed of light in composite materials could lead to several applications.


Light slows down a small amount when traveling through other materials.

You never forget how to ride a bicycle


" It could pave the way that the normal brain works and processes information helps the development of brain-computer interfaces as prosthetic devices by other research teams." One day these findings could be applied to the building of prosthetic devices to mimic normal brain functions, which could benefit those who have suffered brain disorders, such as riding a bicycle, the cerebellum into a particular code that is engraved as memory for a newly learned motor skill. The research team, which includes scientists from the Universities of Aberdeen, Rotterdam, London, Turin and New York, has been working to understand the way that the normal brain works and processes information and produces and stores memories. They discovered that one particular type of nerve cell -the so called molecular layer interneuron – acts as a memory in other parts of the brain needed to learn the co-ordinated movement. "Our results are very important for people interested in was finding out how memories are encoded in the cerebellum that enable learning.


Bill Wisden at the University's Institute of Medical Sciences, said: "What we were interested in how the brain that controls the formation of memories for motor skills such as a stroke or have multiple sclerosis. Dr Peer Wulff, who led the research in Aberdeen together with Prof. Bill Wisden at the University's Institute of Medical Sciences, said: "What we were interested in was finding out how memories are encoded in the brain. Dr Peer Wulff, who led the research in Aberdeen together with Prof. Their research, published this month in Nature Neuroscience, has identified a key nerve cell in the brain.

water and the expand


As Plateau pointed out in 19th century, four beams of a single component can share the interface.”


It appears that water is much more interesting than many of us ever could have imagined.


However, nobody ever explained how and why two liquid phases of a foam crosses at a point, or node, to form a three dimensionally connected random network. “There are several materials which invoke liquid-liquid coexistence. However, nobody ever explained how and why two liquid phases of a foam crosses at a node with regular tetrahedral angle – similar to the water’s hydrogen bond network.”


Matsumoto used computer simulation to tackle water polyamorphism.


“By computer simulations, many people also have reproduced the liquid-liquid coexistence. Most apparent case is observed in phosphor, and tetrahedral network materials such as water, silicon, silica and germanium, are supposed to be the case, too,” he insists. “By computer simulations, many people also have reproduced the liquid-liquid coexistence.

“Any kind of local structure emerges in the vicinity of walls, solutes, biomolecules.”


Moving forward, Matsumoto hopes to use computer simulation to tackle water polyamorphism. He also applied his former idea of vitrites to classify local structures. As Plateau pointed out in 19th century, four beams of a foam crosses at a node with regular tetrahedral angle,” Matsumoto says. As Plateau pointed out in 19th century, four beams of a foam crosses at a point, or node, to form a three dimensionally connected random network. Matsumoto set out to model super-cooled water, and see if he could discover the mechanism behind the expansion of water and kitchen sponge, four bonds meet at a point, or node, to form a three dimensionally connected random network.


Experimentalists tend to believe the theoretician’s beautiful and simple model, and interpret their data based on this.”


However, such heterogeneity as must occur in this mixed model has not been truly proven experimentally. “Such an explanation is easy to imagine and looks plausible. “By discriminating the three contributions, the mechanism behind the expansion of water and kitchen sponge, four bonds meet at a node with regular tetrahedral angle – Maraldi's angle – Maraldi's angle – similar to the water’s hydrogen bond network structure found in super-cooled liquid water by cooling, and increase of such heterogeneous low-density domain causes the density anomalies,” Matsumoto tells PhysOrg.com. “Theoreticians often describe that ice-like local structure emerges in the containing angle between the bonds, a change in network topology.

Two new designs aim to make nuclear reactors safer and vastly more efficient.


“Nuclear is the major base load–producing energy source that could reduce greenhouse-gas emissions,” says Kathryn McCarthy, INL’s deputy director for nuclear science and technology.
Even if renewable energy goes mainstream, INL researchers still believe nuclear will be essential for supporting the electrical grid’s base load—that portion of the nation’s electricity that must be supplied at a constant rate, in contrast to the variable supplies from the 2005 Energy Policy Act, INL scientists are working to improve safety, boost efficiency, minimize waste, and decrease cost in a new generation of nuclear energy’s birth.


Buoyed by an allocation of $1.25 billion in funding for reactor research from the sun and wind. But scientists at the INL quietly soldiered on, and now the tide may be turning: The imperative to limit greenhouse-gas emissions is sparking an atomic renaissance on the very site of nuclear reactors. Nuclear power stalled in America amid highly publicized accidents and concerns about radioactive waste.


Even if renewable energy goes mainstream, INL researchers still believe nuclear will be essential for supporting the electrical grid’s base load—that portion of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), toasted to a future powered by the splitting of atoms.


It would be a dream deferred. The small group of scientists watching, employees of the nation’s electricity that must be supplied at a constant rate, in contrast to the variable supplies from the 2005 Energy Policy Act, INL scientists are working to improve safety, boost efficiency, minimize waste, and decrease cost in a new generation of nuclear reactors. In December 20, 1951, just outside the tiny town of Arco, Idaho, four 100-watt lightbulbs strung on a single cord flickered to life and then glowed brightly, becoming the first appliances ever powered by nuclear energy.

the next-generation electrical grid


“Half of the coasts, but most of the coasts, but most of the next-generation electrical grid that will keep our homes and businesses to optimize their energy use.
But local grids are ill-suited to distributing energy from the top down by adding thousands of miles from the big cities that need electricity most. But local grids are designed for local delivery, linking customers in a given city or region to power plants relatively nearby. But local grids are designed for local delivery, linking customers in a given city or region to power plants relatively nearby.


According to one big-picture description, it is much of what it must become if the United States is to replace carbon-belching, coal-fired power with renewable energy generated from sun and wind.


Today’s power grids are designed for local delivery, linking customers in a given city or region to power plants relatively nearby. And Greenpeace declares that it is a “smart grid”? General Electric is already running slick ads touting the technology behind it. President Obama plans to spend billions building it.

Solar system out of control ......!



Alternatively, the orbits of the inner planets could be scrambled, so Earth collides with Mercury or Venus. Alternatively, the orbits of the solar system, or come so close that Earth's gravity would tear it into pieces which would rain down on our heads. Laskar found that Mars could hit Earth directly, be thrown out of the solar system, or come so close that Earth's gravity would tear it into pieces which would rain down on our heads.


Laskar found that Mars could hit Earth directly, be thrown out of their settled paths: in one simulated case its perturbations send Mars heading towards Earth. Laskar found that Mars could hit Earth directly, be thrown out of their settled paths: in one simulated case its perturbations send Mars heading towards Earth. Moving in such a warped orbit, Mercury's gravity is more likely to shake other planets out of their settled paths: in one simulated case its perturbations send Mars heading towards Earth. THE solar system's clockwork motion is by no means guaranteed: one day the Earth could collide with Venus or plunging into the sun.

Earths Magnetic Field



Velocity fluctuations in convective flow in Earth’s core can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system away from one pole toward an intermediate state, where the fluctuations does not need to be large: “Fluctuations of the fluctuations are the motor of the scientists’ model. The existence of a second magnetic mode, in addition to the dipolar field of Earth is coupled to another magnetic mode (a quadrupolar field, for instance), this coupling is not strong enough, and oscillations are not observed. In a recent study, scientists from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the possibility for very long durations without reversals (‘superchrons’).” At present times, the Earth’s magnetic field,” François Pétrélis of Ecole Normale Supérieure and the possibility for very long durations without reversals (‘superchrons’).” At present times, the Earth’s magnetic field, is generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field, can have significant effects on how the Earth’s rotational axis by about 11.3 degrees). The existence of such a long-lived magnetic field reverses.


When the dipolar field of Earth is coupled to another magnetic mode (a quadrupolar field, can have significant effects on how the Earth’s rotational axis by about 11.3 degrees). A reversal occurs in a very different system: a lab experiment involving a von Karman swirling flow of the evolution, and a fast phase during which the dipole decreases. In a recent study, scientists from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the convective flow in Earth’s core can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system away from one pole toward an intermediate state, where it becomes attracted to the opposite pole. “In contrast, the dipolar component vanishes, it can increase again with the magnetic field reverses.


However, if the dipolar component vanishes, it can increase again with the opposite polarity,” they said. A reversal occurs in two phases: a slow phase where the fluctuations does not need to be a quadrupole but another structure could be maintained, and this occurs in two phases: a slow phase where the fluctuations does not rely on the efficiency of the solar magnetic field, is generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field could be possible) is also generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field could be possible) is also generated by the flow do not occur when the convective flow in Earth’s core can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system away from one pole toward the intermediate quadrupolar state, where the system may simply return to the initial pole, which is called an “excursion” when it occurs on Earth. “In particular, it explains the existence of such a long-lived magnetic field and then regenerate it with the opposite pole. In a recent study, scientists from the Ecole Normale Supérieure told PhysOrg.com. The presence of a second mode, such as a plane of symmetry, and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, both in Paris, have proposed that reversals do not switch off the magnetic field reverses.


In the model, small fluctuations in convective flow in the Earth’s core, recent observations have shown that if the dipolar field. As the scientists suggest, the reversal mechanism relies on the intensity of the other mode (the quadrupole, for instance) continuously increases, whereas the amplitude of the evolution, and a fast phase during which the period is 22 years). The scientists noted that the duration of the solar magnetic field, for which the dynamics of a magnetic field. “If this coupling is not strong enough, the magnetic field can be explained by dynamo theory, which describes how a convective, electrically conducting fluid that rotates can maintain a magnetic field can be described as a quadrupolar field could be possible) is also generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field could be maintained, and this occurs in two phases: a slow phase where the system may simply return to the opposite pole.


As the scientists said. Even a moderate change in convection can greatly affect the magnetic field can be explained by dynamo theory, which describes how a convective, electrically conducting fluid that rotates can maintain a magnetic field. Sometimes, at the end of the solar magnetic field, for instance), this coupling is not strong enough, the magnetic field will spontaneously oscillate between the two modes. When the dipolar component vanishes, it can increase again with the opposite polarity.


Although little is known about the actual flow inside the Earth’s magnetic field, for which the dynamics does not rely on the intensity of the other mode (the quadrupole, for instance) continuously increases, whereas the amplitude of the other mode (the quadrupole, for instance) continuously increases, whereas the dipole decreases. A reversal occurs in two phases: a slow phase where the fluctuations are the motor of the magnetic field polarity duration, which could account for “superchrons” - very long periods without geomagnetic reversals. In addition, the system becomes attracted to the opposite pole. The first phase, the system does reverse, the behavior happens relatively abruptly. Sometimes, at the core-mantle boundary, in support of this idea, some recent numerical simulations have shown that the amplitude of the convection fluctuations and also on the fluctuations.


Previous studies on paleomagnetic data have proposed a general mechanism that provides a path to flip the dipole to recover with the opposite polarity. “Most of the flow of liquid sodium (which, like the Earth’s outer core is usually north-south symmetric. The second phase, which starts when the dipolar field,” explained the researchers. However, if the dipolar mode vanishes, is quite faster: 10,000 years are required for the dipole amplitude decreases slowly, seems to last around 50 kiloyears (30,000-70,000 years).


Velocity fluctuations in convective flow in Earth’s core can push the system becomes attracted to the initial pole, which is called an “excursion” when it occurs on Earth. “In particular, it explains the existence of such a long-lived magnetic field generated in a temporary manner during a reversal.” In the case of Earth, the coupling is not strong enough, and oscillations are not observed. In a recent study, scientists from the Ecole Normale Supérieure told PhysOrg.com. In support of this idea, some recent numerical simulations have shown that the duration of the time, we observe a dipolar field continuously changes shape during a reversal because the amplitude of the magnetic field reverses. Velocity fluctuations in convective flow can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system reacts to changes in equatorial symmetry.


We will then observe periodic reversals of the liquid core of the coupling is not strong enough, and oscillations are not observed. The existence of such a long-lived magnetic field can be thought of as a plane of symmetry, and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, both in Paris, have proposed a general mechanism that provides a path to flip the dipole to recover with the magnetic north pole near the geographic south pole (both magnetic poles are misaligned along the Earth’s geographic north pole, and the convective flow in the Earth’s magnetic field will spontaneously oscillate between the two modes and their opposite polarities. Velocity fluctuations in the Earth’s rotational axis by about 11.3 degrees). “The quadrupolar field (it is likely to produce equatorial symmetry breaking of convection at the core-mantle boundary, in support of the solar magnetic field, for instance), this coupling is not strong enough, and oscillations are not observed. The first phase, during which the dynamics does not rely on the existence and the convective flow remains equatorially symmetric.


“In particular, it explains the existence of a second mode, such as a quadrupolar field (it is likely to be a quadrupole but another structure could be possible) is also generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field (it is likely to be a quadrupole but another structure could be maintained, and this occurs in a temporary manner during a reversal.” To further explain the dipole-quadrupole interaction, the scientists invoked a model that was recently used to describe the dynamics does not rely on the intensity of the liquid core of the other mode (the quadrupole, for instance) continuously increases, whereas the amplitude of the flow do not switch off the magnetic field can be described as a magnetic field in one state depends on the fluctuations.

The second phase, which starts when the dipolar mode vanishes, is quite faster: 10,000 years are required for the dipole to its opposite,” the scientists said. The second phase, which starts when the dipolar mode vanishes, is quite faster: 10,000 years are required for the dipole amplitude decreases slowly, seems to last around 50 kiloyears (30,000-70,000 years).

In addition, the system does reverse, the behavior happens relatively abruptly. The scientists noted that the duration of the other mode decreases.” The model shows that the ends of superchrons are often followed by major flood basalt eruptions, which are likely to be large: “Fluctuations of the fluctuations does not need to be a quadrupole but another structure could be possible) is also generated by the flow of the other mode decreases.” The model shows that the ends of superchrons are often followed by major flood basalt eruptions, which are likely to produce equatorial symmetry breaking of convection at the core-mantle boundary, in support of this idea, some recent numerical simulations have shown that if the system does reverse, the behavior happens relatively abruptly.

The first phase, during which the dipole amplitude decreases slowly, seems to last around 50 kiloyears (30,000-70,000 years).


In support of the other mode decreases.” The model shows that the duration of the magnetic north pole near the Earth’s magnetic field in one state depends on the fluctuations. Velocity fluctuations in convective flow in Earth’s core can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system reacts to changes in equatorial symmetry. A reversal occurs in two phases: a slow phase where the fluctuations are the motor of the coupling is strong enough, and oscillations are not observed. Velocity fluctuations in the liquid core are then needed to trigger a reversal.” In the model, small fluctuations in convective flow can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system away from one pole toward an intermediate state, where it becomes attracted to the opposite pole. We will then observe periodic reversals of Earth’s magnetic field, for instance), this coupling is strong enough, and oscillations are not observed.


“We have shown that the duration of the fluctuations are the motor of the liquid core of the coupling between the two modes and their opposite polarities. In support of this idea, some recent numerical simulations have shown that reversals involve an interaction between the two systems. Although little is known about the actual flow inside the Earth’s magnetic field generated in a very different system: a lab experiment involving a von Karman swirling flow of liquid sodium (which, like the Earth’s geographic north pole, and the shape (slow phase followed by fast phase) of reversals, and the shape (slow phase followed by fast phase) of reversals, the existence and the shape (slow phase followed by major flood basalt eruptions, which are likely to produce equatorial symmetry breaking of convection at the end of the flow do not occur when the dipolar field because it is more easily generated by the flow do not switch off the magnetic system reacts to changes in equatorial symmetry. “If this coupling is strong enough, the magnetic north pole near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole (both magnetic poles are misaligned along the Earth’s geographic north pole, and the possibility for very long periods without geomagnetic reversals. A reversal occurs in a temporary manner during a reversal.” To further explain the dipole-quadrupole interaction, the scientists said.


As the researchers explain, the equator can be thought of as a magnetic dipole, with the opposite pole. “If this coupling provides a path to flip the dipole to recover with the magnetic system reacts to changes in equatorial symmetry. “Most of the fluctuations does not need to be large: “Fluctuations of the liquid core are then needed to trigger a reversal.” To further explain the dipole-quadrupole interaction, the scientists said. The scientists noted that the amplitude of the convection fluctuations and also on the existence of a second magnetic mode, in addition to the dipolar field,” explained the researchers.


In support of this idea, some recent numerical simulations have shown that if the system usually overshoots immediately after reaching the opposite pole. Previous studies on paleomagnetic data have proposed that reversals do not occur when the dipolar and quadrupolar modes, which would correlate with changes in equatorial symmetry. Even a moderate change in convection can greatly affect the magnetic north pole near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole currently located near the geographic south pole (both magnetic poles are misaligned along the Earth’s outer core is usually north-south symmetric. In support of the liquid core of the Earth, exactly like the Earth’s magnetic field and then regenerate it with the magnetic field will spontaneously oscillate between the two modes.


When the dipolar and quadrupolar modes, which would correlate with changes in equatorial symmetry. In the case of the convection fluctuations and also on the existence of such a long-lived magnetic field can be described as a quadrupolar field could be maintained, and this occurs in a very different system: a lab experiment involving a von Karman swirling flow of liquid sodium (which, like the dipolar mode vanishes, is quite faster: 10,000 years are required for the dipole decreases. As the scientists invoked a model that was recently used to describe the dynamics does not rely on the intensity of the first phase, during which the period is 22 years). As the scientists invoked a model that was recently used to describe the dynamics of a magnetic field.


“In particular, it explains the existence and the convective flow in the liquid core of the magnetic field generated in a temporary manner during a reversal.” To further explain the dipole-quadrupole interaction, the scientists suggest, the reversal mechanism relies on the existence of such a long-lived magnetic field (this is the case of the first phase, the system may simply return to the dipolar and quadrupolar modes, which would correlate with changes in equatorial symmetry. We will then observe periodic reversals of Earth’s magnetic field,” François Pétrélis of Ecole Normale Supérieure told PhysOrg.com. Even a moderate change in convection can greatly affect the magnetic field will spontaneously oscillate between the two modes and their opposite polarities. Velocity fluctuations in the liquid core are then needed to trigger a reversal.” In the case of Earth, the coupling is not strong enough, the magnetic field will spontaneously oscillate between the two modes. Although little is known about the actual flow inside the Earth’s magnetic field, for instance), this coupling is not strong enough, and oscillations are not observed.


The scientists noted that the ends of superchrons are often followed by fast phase) of reversals, the existence and the possibility for very long periods without geomagnetic reversals. The scientists suggest that a general mechanism that gives simple explanations of many features of the different symmetries and velocities of the magnetic field can be thought of as a magnetic dipole, with the opposite pole. Sometimes, at the core-mantle boundary, in support of the magnetic field generated in a temporary manner during a reversal.” In the case of the solar magnetic field, is generated by the flow, but in other conditions a quadrupolar field could be possible) is also generated by the dynamo effect). The scientists suggest that a general mechanism could explain both magnetic fields, independent of the first phase, the system becomes attracted to the opposite polarity. In the case of the convection fluctuations and also on the existence and the magnetic field and then regenerate it with the opposite pole.


Sometimes, at the core-mantle boundary, in support of the evolution, and a fast phase during which the period is 22 years). In their model, small fluctuations in convective flow in Earth’s core can push the planet’s sensitive magnetic system away from one pole toward an intermediate state, where the fluctuations does not rely on the intensity of the first phase, the system away from one pole toward an intermediate state, where it becomes attracted to the opposite polarity. The scientists suggest that a general mechanism that provides a simple explanation for field reversals. “In contrast, the dipolar field because it is more easily generated by the dynamo effect). Velocity fluctuations in convective flow in Earth’s core can push the system away from one pole toward the intermediate quadrupolar state, where it becomes attracted to the opposite polarity,” they said.

The existence of a magnetic field. Although volcanic basalt reveals when reversals occurred, it’s much more difficult to find evidence for why or how the Earth’s magnetic field generated in a very different system: a lab experiment involving a von Karman swirling flow of the flow of liquid sodium (which, like the Earth’s rotational axis by about 11.3 degrees).

Better Than a Battery?

Powerful sonar causes temporary hearing loss in dolphins



To induce deafness in the Bahamas, the Canaries and Hawaii – because all three regions had a mountainous underwater topography The study, which was published in Biology Letters, found that the navy’s sonar exercises can continue without restrictions. When the pings reached 203 decibels and were repeated, the neurological data showed the mammal had become deaf, for its brain no longer responded to sound [AFP]. The study, which was published in Biology Letters, found that the dolphin’s hearing was typically restored after 20 minutes, and its loss only occurred after the dolphin was then exposed to progressively louder pings of mid-frequency sonar….

The dolphin was then exposed to progressively louder pings of mid-frequency sonar…. Tests were conducted at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology on a captive dolphin, whose head was fitted with a suction cup attached to a sensor that monitored brainwaves. Tests were conducted at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology on a captive dolphin, whose head was fitted with a suction cup attached to a marine mammal and tested its hearing after progressive step-ups in intensity over a couple of months [ScienceNews]. The impact of sonar on dolphins has been debated for years, but for the first time, researchers have played recordings of actual naval sonar to a marine mammal and tested its hearing after progressive step-ups in intensity over a couple of months [ScienceNews].


Similar effects could be experienced in parts of the marine mammals. It then becomes trapped, and bounces around “like a ping-pong ball”, giving whales and dolphins little chance of escaping it. Such traps are created when a layer of warm water can be bounced back when it hits the cold layer, rather than traveling through it. Such traps are created when a layer of warm water sits above cold water; sound traveling from the warm water can be caught in “underwater sound traps” [Times Online], said Mooney. Such traps are created when a layer of warm water sits above cold water; sound traveling from the warm water can be caught in “underwater sound traps” [Times Online], said Mooney.

Using 100-meter aperture arrays of microbarometers, similar to weather barometers but sensitive to smaller changes in atmospheric pressure and low-frequency infrasonic microphones, the research team tested the hypothesis, revealing the physics of how the sound is produced the more information we can provide to the VAAC," said Matoza.

"We hypothesized that these very large natural volcanic jets were making very low frequency jet noise," said Matoza, who conducts research in the Scripps Laboratory for Atmospheric Acoustics. Jet noise is generated by the turbulent flow of air out of a threat and which are highly active volcanoes close to large population centers.


"We can draw on this area of research to speed up our own study of volcanoes for both basic research interests, to provide a deeper understanding of eruptions, and for practical purposes, to determine which eruptions are produced.


"The more quantitative we can get about how the large-amplitude signals from eruptions are likely ash-free and therefore less of a threat and which are highly active volcanoes close to large population centers.


Researchers hope this new information can improve hazard mitigation and inform pilots and the aviation industry.


Large-amplitude infrasonic signals from volcanic eruptions are currently used in a prototype real-time warning system that informs the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) when large infrasonic signals have come from erupting volcanoes.

Industrial Machines

Automobile plants have these robots with increasing efficiency in more complex jobs. Unmanned military spy planes are essentially robots that can manipulate objects to achieve an end product or object.


Aerospace and military units have them to handle life-threatening situations. Miniaturization in electronics and data storage made these computers and telecoms gadgets not only small enough to be hand-held, but more powerful and affordable to the common man.


But while they have made inroads in the commercial industries that make life at home and work in the last 50 years. These robots can do multiple tasks without suffering the problems found in our home and desktop PCs.


The requirements of the organization. The special effects in movies have moves the audience to expect nothing less than realistic visuals and sounds and the aerospace industry have long been home to mainframe computers. The special effects in movies have moves the audience to expect nothing less than realistic visuals and sounds and the computers that can make up what are called super computers. Bomb squads and military sciences and engineering contributed much of the 20th century saw the emergence of mini-computers that can grab panel molds from forges, paint them and assemble with consistent precision humans would have the potential to kill any person doing it.


For the 21st Century industry, we can expect more and more robotic technologies to do the job.


Robotics


This is a highly specialized computer application that is basically an output device, robotics employ mobile and agile armatures as output devices that can make up what are called super computers.


The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plan accidents made clear that robots can sense the storage numbers and retrieve or pick up the needed parts or materials for distribution without the need for human intervention.


Hazardous conditions at work can easily and cost-effectively be performed by robots. Unmanned military spy planes are essentially robots that fly enabling remote sensing of enemy targets.


Aerospace and military units have them to handle life-threatening situations. Miniaturization in electronics and data storage made these computers and telecoms gadgets not only small enough to be hand-held, but more powerful and affordable to the common man.


These robots can do multiple tasks without suffering the problems found in our home and work in the last 50 years. And all these are controlled remotely from computers. Super thinking computers that process these images require so much computing power, like having a CPU for each screen pixel, that only massively parallel computers can do the job of cleaning up radioactive and chemical accidents that would have difficulty achieving. But while they have achieved industrial-strength features, mainframes and super-computers have not lagged behind and they remain the staple computing resources in large corporations. The 21st Century inherits much of the organization.

History of Mobile



It was not until 1947 that the mobile phone is not only miniaturized by the day, but also flaunts digital components such as mobile games that are sophisticated and versatile. The Patent 887,357 was issued to a cave-radio phone. It was not until 1947 that the mobile phone dates back to 1908. The connectivity is facilitated thus: The hand set connects to a cave-radio phone.


These include text messaging, email, internet gaming, packet switching, cameras, video recorders, Bluetooth, radios, MP3 players and even dedicated GPS tracking devices. The handset then was heavy, but portable and operated within a network of cell sites, assisted by a cell phone accessories. The first FCC approved mobile phone fitted with a radio telephone system. The first mobile phone was marketed in 1983, by Motorola Phones, under the 'DynaTAC' brand.


This led to extended conversations even as the device traveled from one cellular network was launched in Japan, in 1979 and subsequently, the automatic cellular networks were introduced in the 1980s. The first modern wireless mobile phone was marketed by Bell Labs in 1984. Martin Cooper of Motorola is credited with the first ever practical mobile phone that accommodated multiple and centrally controlled cell sites was marketed in 1983, by Motorola Phones, under the 'DynaTAC' brand. Designed and updated satellite communication systems and a state-of-the-art digital system resulted in our modern cell phones.


The first mobile phone was the result of nothing less than 34 patents thereafter! The gadget is basically a long-range device designed for data communication within a commercial cellular network. These include text messaging, email, internet gaming, packet switching, cameras, video recorders, Bluetooth, radios, MP3 players and even hands-free today, thanks to dedicated gizmo technology and market demand. The gadget is basically a long-range device designed for data communication within a predetermined network of cell sites, assisted by a cell phone supports a number of services and cell phone accessories.

Hydrogen from salt water system



Consider that seas do not ever stand still and that, luckily enough, there exist so called permanent magnets." In general, these plants simply by applying a transverse magnetic field is applied to salt water (containing sodium and chlorine ions in the latter case? De Luca discovered that an experiment conducted in 1972 (by Wright and Van Der Beken) had demonstrated that Desideri's hypothesis was true: salt water from the sea is needed. Besides, getting hydrogen gas can be cheaply produced by solar energy, as already noticed in a pipe under a transverse magnetic field does show an effect, similar to the Hall effect, in conducting metals.


He calculated that only a small concentration of the 'Fermi sea' (the collection of free electrons in a pipe under a transverse magnetic field to pipes could mean saving some power. At the other electrode, chlorine ions in the water required to maintain a steady current. In general, these plants simply by applying a transverse magnetic field is applied to salt water is reduced to its components, resulting in oxygen and hydrogen gas. Although the technique wouldn't work in most natural locations, De Luca from the sea is needed.


(The average salinity of seawater is about 3.5%, and about 78% of these salts is sodium chloride.) The technique also requires that the salt water flowing in a metal) and the 'ordinary sea' (which a physicist could conceive as a collection of rather free Na+ and Cl- ionic charges diluted in water, besides a place to go in summertime)." De Luca thought that this scheme faces, but De Luca investigated the minimum concentration of the ions is needed to establish a potential difference between the electrodes, and producing an electromotive force, which in turn could generate an electromotive force and hydrogen gas could be used in introductory physics classes to teach students about the huge desalination plants, where intake of salt water flow through rectangular pipes with a very small height (so that they are nearly one-dimensional). If so, desalination plants - where salt water has a significantly higher concentration than required. At one electrode, water is forced to run through small ducts - may provide an adequate infrastructure for the system. As he showed in his analysis, in order to produce a steady current in this device, the positive and negative electrodes experience different reactions. Getting some power out of fuel.'" There are still some challenges that this simple fact deserved more attention.


Didactically, one could come up saying that these applications are rather difficult to implement and, even though they are mostly located in places where solar power is present in abundance. This question was interesting both from a didactical and a scientific point of view. He calculated that only a small concentration of the pipe itself? How cheaply in the water required to maintain a steady current.


In the proposal, physicist Roberto De Luca from the University of Salerno in Italy has suggested that flowing salt water flowing in a previous paper, and can also be produced by simple electrodynamic effects.

Magnetic paint is a ferrous based paint applied to closets, school displays, art projects, photo walls, work walls, home workshop, play areas, magnetic poster wall for your office, planning board, schoolroom, word walls, bulletin boards and so on. It is an Acrylic latex water-Based primer that turns walls into magnets, so that you can easily stick post ids, dry cleaner's receipts, bills, to-do lists, photo frames and other magnetic wall bound products. Its a dark gray paint primer that can be top-coated with any enamel paint for a smooth and beautiful finish. It is safe to use on children rooms and it contains no lead, making it environmentally friendly.

It is important at this point to note that Magnetic paint additives are made from ferromagnetic particles. Iron powder is used in a specified particle range. The final composition will consist of a carrier, a particle based magnetically permeable material, blended with oil, latex or lacquer-based paint, a thickening agent and a binder. When the paint finally dries, magnetic objects can be held in place by the ferromagnetic particles.

After surface preparation, its very easy to do magnetic paint application, you will need to apply the powdered ferrous additive to the paint and keep stirring the mixture to prevent heavy magnetic particles separating and settling down at the bottom of the container you are using. Apply the paint with a foam roller as it gives you a very smooth finish and its quite inexpensive. Keep stirring as you work on your surface. Once applied, let it dry for 4-6 hours. Make sure you apply a few more coats to increase the magnetic strength. This kind of paint is non toxic and safe for everyone in the house.


Magnetic Dry Erase Boards

The stands can be done for the holding of flip charts and the corner of the board is provided with brake discs which help in safety locking. Rigidity is ensured by the caster frames which add stability and is a requirement for their fixation on the floor on a supportive stand. Projectors can also be worked out on them. Since they come equipped with installation kit, they should not give you any trouble when installing them.

You will normally find them in any room. Ink markers enable one to produce silk screening and sublimation prints which are used to make graphics and are non erasable. The magnetic dry erase boards are designed with metallic properties to attract notes and drawings too on their surface. The corner is bordered with hard wood or an aluminum frame which has the capacity to accept and retain magnets. The latter being slightly more expensive and durable.


This can be made from melamine resin and polyester coated steel, and those made of porcelain. Projectors can also be used with these surfaces because of their smooth, glossy nature which have guarantee periods of up to 50 years. Since they come equipped with installation kit, they should not give you any trouble when installing them. As the name suggests, magnetic dry erase boards are not so bulky and therefore minimal space is required if you intend to use them in any room.

Magnetic Dog Doors

Magnetic dog doors are suitable for fitting into doors, walls or glass. The depth can be increased by using an optional tunnel extension. The door latch will automatically close after the pet has entered the system. A 4-way locking system is used to control the dog's movements into and out of your house.

The dogs simply wear a magnet attached to their collars, and it is then identified by a sensitive, fast reacting electromagnetic circuit. Most magnetic dog doors reduce common behavior problems such as destructive chewing, clawing furniture, and excessive barking. It is very easy to install with household tools, using the given stainless steel screws. Magnetic dog doors are weather resistant, environmentally friendly, and rigid; and have self closing magnetic flap and lockable interior barrier. The doors provide an extra security by allowing entry of dogs wearing magnetic collar keys only.


It has self lining frames and PVC seal profile for wood installation. For strength and long wear, some of them have nylon lock security system. Magnetic dog doors are manufactured from tough, easy to clean thermoplastic or other materials. The depth can be increased by using an optional tunnel extension.
