vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: Jul 14 04:15PM Before the new year )not exactl sure when, cudda been a year ago) I saw a hairline fracture on my 2007 laptop. I assumed since it is still working so much later, it is not mercury vapor. If it was mercury it would have all leaked away, right? I looked at the specs and a few models were made with mercury but most not. So today I played with the scratch with my fingernail. It is under some plastic layer. And it began to streak from the scratch upwards and downwards, and at the bottom of the screen it looked like liquid leak collecting. Turned it off and it was still there when back on. Ok, how much worse is it? How long will it survive? Is it toxic? OK, it's LIQUID crystal. But nothing seems to have "gotten out". I have a few discolored knicks on my Kindle but they dona't seem to effect operation (I had dropped my keys on it).       - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

fynnashba@gmail.com: Jul 14 01:09AM -0700 Please comrades I want to find out when a SET states and a RESET state are obtained in an RS flip flop. The Net has been confusing me with conflicting facts but l know this learned and honored group will settle it for me as you always do is the state determined by the S (SET) input or the Q output? Is the criteria the same for both the NOR and NAND gates? Thank you

Is the criteria the same for both the NOR and NAND gates? > Thank you   In electronics, as in most things, the output is determined by the input. In its basic form, S (SET) makes the Q output go high. R (RESET) makes the output return to the way it was before, that is, it resets the state of the output.   This type of question is best asked in sci.electronics.basics

Jeff Urban <jurb6006@gmail.com>: Jul 13 04:38PM -0700 >Not following how pulses will not affect a mechanical meter     Because of inertia. The current moves a wheel in there if you hit it fast enough it cannot accelerate fast enough. It is up to you to store the energy though, how you gonna do that ? I know of no battery that can take a 500 amp charge for a few milliseconds and then deliver it out as needed. Then depending on what kind of panel you got you might have to get ahead of the main breaker to even do that. Then you might blow their fuses outside.   It is not easy to steal power, in fact any effective means is usually more trouble than it's worth.

I'm pretty sure that's when the "more trouble than it's worth" kicked in.       -- "I am a river to my people." Jeff-1.0 WA6FWi http:foxsmercantile.com

Michael Terrell <terrell.michael.a@gmail.com>: Jul 13 06:25PM -0700 Apparently it was done just before the stadium was opened. She was fined for all the stolen power, plus interest by the utility.

The current moves a wheel in there if you hit it fast enough it cannot accelerate fast enough.   It can always accelerate fast enough. A localised short (microseconds or so) sharp pulse just deforms the metal briefly, storing the energy in spring action. As long as the metal is elastic, that energy will spread to a uniform acceleration.   When you put a ceramic cup down on a stone benchtop, it comes to rest in the distance and time for which the surfaces are *deformed*. Even when they're heavy, dense and brittle. That's true of any impact. Same deal with an inertial pulse delivered by electromagnetism.   CH

Short pulses are used to drive power tools at low speed. Now if you use short pulses you need BIG currents and the losses in wiring resistance increase a lot. Inductance too start to be problematic. Think of when you drive a nail in wood with a hammer.

We'll see how that goes. I don't now why I couldn't find it.   I worked on a machine with an older OS (can't remember which one) for someone who kept having problems with Firefox, they were very happy with Opera, which now has several very useful plugins.
