A cat’s-whisker detector (sometimes called a crystal detector) is an antique electronic component consisting of a thin wire that lightly touches a crystal of semiconducting mineral (usually galena) to make a crude point-contact rectifier. Developed by early radio researchers Henry H. C. Dunwoody‚ G. W. Pickard and others‚ this device was used as the detector in early crystal radios‚ from about 1906 through the Second World War‚ and gave this type of radio receiver its name. Crystal radios were the

internal reflection of laser Jiho Yang Colegio Retamar Abstract In this paper‚ we report the circumstances that produce breaking of water stream. The usual way to visualize this is by using a strobe‚ as how they do in Science museums. Experimental methodology that we have used to investigate this topic is based on an experiment carried out by two scientists in 1850 that contributed to studies about total reflections. By using a laser‚ we could observe that the laser light is scattered due

Many popular name brand car companies expect driverless cars to be on the market by 2020‚ and for all cars to be driverless by 2025. The idea of a car that can drive‚ navigate‚ and park itself was an idea only to be heard of in the movies‚ but now it is in it’s final stages of testing. The self driving car is currently in production of prototypes to be demonstrated to the public by popular name brand companies like: Tesla‚ Mercedes Benz‚ BMW‚ and more. With the introduction of a driverless car‚ the

ABSTRACT OF LCOS DISPLAY Modern display technology has made it generally easier and cheaper to create complex visual stimuli than was possible with the older optical systems. However‚ all of the display types in widespread use have significant limitations. Common CRT displays are inexpensive‚ have reasonably good spatial and temporal resolution‚ and reasonably high contrast‚ but are dim. LCD projectors are brighter‚ but suffer from low contrast. One-chip micromirror (DLP) devices that temporally

He created originally called ‘‘AuctionWeb‘‘ site which was created on the very same server as his page devoted to research about the ebola virus. It came as a surprise when he found out that his broken laser pointer was sold for more than 14 dollars. He decided to contact the winning bidder asking why would he buy a broken thing for this amount of money. He answered that he is a collector of broken laser pointers. After the realization‚ that
