Root-

Obviously someone could do that. Damage might be limited by how much
paper is in the printer, or how quickly the owner could react if nearby.

Many wireless printers come with their WiFi set up in ad-hoc mode. HP
also has their "Wi-Fi Direct" mode. You can connect directly to them
unless they have been paired with a WiFi router.

I think what you are seeing are wireless printers that are either
connected by a USB cable instead of WiFi, or are being used with iPhones
that have their internet connection through the phone company.

The owners may not be aware that the printer's WiFi is open! Anyone
that has such a printer should at least set the WiFi to require a
password.

Just the sort of thing kids would get up to today. Find some pics on the
householder's fleecebook page etc and a bit of photoshopping with some
porn pics, then print out on their printer would be a whizzo prank to play.

You don't run it till boiling! once you get close to boiling point a lot of
extra energy is required to raise it further and make it boil. What you do
is run a glass of cold distilled water measured (temp and volume) in a
container, you could use several stacked Styrofoam cups for insulation and
cover the top with Styrofoam so that the heat generated does not escape and
run the oven till the temperature increase 20 to 50 degrees or so, then
measure the temp, the information will have an equation to convert degrees
rise to microwave power. Google the method - I haven't looked it up lately.

That is not how a calorimeter works. The load must be enclosed in liquid
and must perfectly match the RF output so it absorbs all the energy.
Then the temperature should be a very accurate way to measure power. It
must be a closed, water cooled load.

Here is the Method from RepairFAQ from Sam:



7.1) Testing the oven - the water heating test


The precise number of degrees a known quantity of water increases in
temperature for a known time and power level is a very accurate test of
the actual useful microwave power. A couple of minutes with a cup of
water and a thermometer will conclusively determine if your microwave
oven is weak or you are just less patient (or the manufacturer of your
frozen dinners has increased their weight - sure, fat chance of that!)

You can skip the heavy math below and jump right to the final result
if you like. However, for those who are interested:

* 1 Calorie (C) will raise the temperature of 1 gram (g) of liquid water
exactly 1 degree Centigrade (DegC) or 9/5 degree Fahrenheit (DegF).

* 1 Calorie is equal to 4.184 Joules (J) or 1 J = .239 C.

* 1 Watt (W) of power is 1 J/s or 1 KW is 1000 J/s.

* 1 cup is 8 ounces (oz) which is 8 x 28.35 g/oz = 226.8 g.

* 1 minute equals 60 s (but you know this!).

Therefore, in one minute, a 1 KW microwave oven will raise the temperature
of 1 cup of water by:

T(rise) = (60 s * 1000 J/s * .239C/J * (g * DegC)/C)/(226.8 g) = 63
DegC.

Or, if your prefer Fahrenheit: 114 DegF.

To account for estimated losses due to conduction, convection, and imperfect
power transfer, I suggest using temperature rises of 60 DegC and 109 DegF.

Therefore, a very simple test is to place a measured cup of water in the
microwave from the tap and measure its temperature before and after heating
for exactly 1 minute on HIGH. Scale the expected temperature rise by the
ratio of the microwave (not AC line) power of your oven compared to a 1 KW
unit.

Or, from a Litton microwave handbook:

Heat one Liter (L) of water on HIGH for 1 minute.

Oven power = temperature rise in DegC multiplied by 70.

Use a plastic container rather than a glass one to minimize the needed
energy loss to raise its temperature by conduction from the hot water.
There will be some losses due to convection but this should not be that
significant for these short tests.

(Note: if the water is boiling when it comes out - at 100 DegC or 212 DegF,
then the test is invalid - use colder water or a shorter time.)

The intermediate power levels can be tested as well. The heating effect of
a microwave oven is nearly linear. Thus, a cup of water should take nearly
roughly twice as long to heat a specific number of degrees on 50% power or
3.3 times as long on 30% power as on full power. However, for low power
tests, increasing the time to 2 minutes with 2 cups of water will result
in more accurate measurements due to the long period pulse width power
control use by microwave ovens which may have a cycle of up to 30 seconds.

Any significant discrepancy between your measurements and the specified
microwave power levels - say more than 10 % on HIGH - may indicate a
problem.
(Due to conduction and convection losses as well as the time required to
heat the filament of the magnetron for each on-cycle, the accuracies of
the intermediate power level measurements may be slightly lower).

I wanted to reply to this when you first posted it but I couldn't for
whatever reason. fucking thing. As you can see I am not posting from
google, which I no longer capitalize !!!! LOL

Anyway, what characterizes ANY part for the transmission of audio is
linearity. Even though the gate of a MOSFET is driven wildly different
than the base of a BPT, linearity of gain fro the very small signal to
the very large signal is the prime. We used to look at the hfe and HFE
gain curves of bipolars in the old days, not it is different.

Any kinds of spurious shit like oscillations would be no good in
switcxhers as well. the thing is, switchers somethimes have a gain curve
that is like, made to be on or off.

An audio transistor must operate in the analog range, that means the
gain curve should be as flat as possible through the operating current
range.

The same is true of a MOSFET.

Ah at last , thanks, a pertinent reply to my original question. I was
wondering if it was a larger area of silicon so the heat can migrate out
of the die quicker. So from what you say a non-audio switcher mosfet
could be used for analogue but the power rating would have to be derated
and no other qualification for such use, anymore than usual precautions
you would use for a switcher situation. I suppose the amount of derating
would then depend on the type of use bass amp v GP audio amp, dance
music v classical music etc

or on rereading . If an audio application can tolerate a certain amount
of cross-over distortion and general harmonic distortion then there is
no difference in powerfet useage type , up to some power level where
these distortions become too apparent.

I learned what I needed to know to rebuild a fried Ampeg SVT3Pro. 4 [ea]
irfp9240s 4 [ea] irfp240s. Will oscillate itself to death. Must use a
scope and a light bulb current limiter to detect sudden current surging
due to rf feeding back. I think Vishay has some linear application notes
for these MOSFETs. They can be biased for very tiny crossover notch, but
the spec is bias for 800ma at the AC mains with no signal. Not terribly
efficient. But it's a bass guitar amp.

I don't know about a US Federal Trade Commission (or other agency, or
equivalent in other countries) test procedure; there probably is one but
I don't know it.

I know that older GE microwave ovens, in the little service information
sheet that was folded up inside the oven, gave directions on the test, a
GE part number for a beaker you were supposed to use, and I think a
third-party part number for the thermometer you were supposed to use to
measure the water temperature before and after. I think the water level
was marked on the beaker, and the service sheet said to put it right in
the middle of the oven. You didn't boil it, just heated it for a fixed
amount of time.

If I remember right, the criteria was something like "if the oven
produced between X and Y degrees temperature rise in the water, it's
within spec" - it didn't give you an answer in watts, just an acceptable
temperature range for that particular model oven.

SMPS controller ICs with the letters "ICE" as the first part of their type
number are quite common. Such ICs are often coupled directly to a power FET
switching element, but are just as commonly connected directly to a small
SMPS Tx, particularly when it is a standby supply. I have always been amazed
that these chips can stand the better part of 400 volts across their
internal FET, and that it can supply enough current to drive the Tx
directly. I guess the thermal issues are dictated by how good the RDSon of
the internal device is. The closer it is to zero ohms, the lower the
dissipation, and some these days are pretty damn close to zero for all
practical purposes.

Its the first time I've come across such a situation, still does not
look right. For something like a set-top box with no motors or laser and
a graphics processor that does not require a heatsink, I could see it
was possible

courtesy of alldatasheet with "start with" option
ICE2 starting it seems its like a
ICE2A265 with a different logo, same pinning on p4/5/6 at least
large datasheet , will have to read it when I get some time

Perhaps another piece of hitech saved from the dumpster
i in reverse D ,logo on
http://www.aufzu.de/semi/siemens.html
as infineon, perhaps older or IC only logo (don't know German) and the
other pinnings agree with Infineon datasheet. Will get a few from RS ,
but will add an underpad-soldered copper 20mm pcb fuse clip and white
goo around the IC, assuming it will still oscillate etc

That is what I was saying, yes.

The few USB devices I've taken apart seem to do a decent job of not
returning the power supply current on the shield, but I am aware that
there are millions of devices out there, and they probably don't all do
it the same way. (Hey, if we run the power supply ground on the shield,
we can use 3-wire cable instead of 4-wire and save 0.00013 cents per
unit!)

I agree that that's generally a good plan. I figured that not being
picky about which power wire was opened would be easier to implement
for the original poster.
