As a result, the molar absorptivity in the near IR region is typically quite small. One advantage is that NIR can typically penetrate much farther into a sample than mid infrared radiation. Near-infrared spectroscopy is, therefore, not a particularly sensitive technique, but it can be very useful in probing bulk material with little or no sample preparation. The molecular overtone and combination bands seen in the near IR are typically very broad, leading to complex spectra; it can be difficult to assign specific features to specific chemical components. Multivariate (multiple variables) calibration techniques (e.g., principal components analysis, partial least squares, or artificial neural networks) are often employed to extract the desired chemical information.
Generating fractals can be an artistic endeavor, a mathematical pursuit, or just a soothing diversion. However, FA is clearly distinguished from other digital activities by what it is, and by what it is not." Fractal art is expressive, creative and takes a lot of effort and intelligence. People think that the computer does all the work, but in reality it does do a great amount of it but the artist must choose the way the fractal will form itself. It’s an experimental form of art as well.
To an extent, this may seem true as analog audio equipment and mediums have a tendency in sounding warmer and fuller; however it is also possible to achieve the same with creating audio digitally. Although analog audio may seem to sound better, digital audio production is superior because it is cost effective and universally compatible with modern production environments. Creating music digitally allows you to use tools that are universally compatible in modern production environments. As a professional recording or production engineer, this is important as almost every professional studio uses a system based on computers and digital audio workstations. Finding a studio or recording facility that still uses analog equipment is very difficult and costly.
If the sound created was displayed visually, it would look like what is called a wave pattern. The electronic sound synthesizer or synth for short is a device designed to create or manipulate sounds. A synthesizer is composed of many ways to create and manipulate sounds. Depending on the synth the options range from filtering out certain frequency’s and distorting sounds to pitching them higher than any know instrument can achieve. However, there is one component of design of which all the others build upon, the oscillators.
Kahneman (as cited in Edgar, 2007) explains it in the limited capacity theory of attention. According to it, “the brain contains limited-capacity central processor responsible for analyzing incoming information and integrating it to information already held in memory” (Edgar, 2007, pp.11). Thus, when a person tries to do many things at once interference can occur if those things compete for the same pool of resources. However, Macleod (as cited in Edgar, 2007) showed that it is possible to do two things at once without interference. In his study, participants had to carry out a visual and an auditory task and respond to them by saying ‘bip’.
During this lab I learned that spectra are sometimes referred to as chemical fingerprints. This is because each elemental light source produces a different spectrum. These spectra can be used to identify the element producing the light. This lab was fascinating because it was hands on, and related to what we are learning. Sometimes I found it difficult to view the spectrum which made it hard to tell if the spectra were emission or absorption.
• I have a personal interest in the differences in methods for sound amplification and reproduction. • A better understanding of the varying methods will ultimately lead to an improved ability to set up more efficient and more specific amplification systems. • I would like to find personal reasoning or justification for apparently ‘better’ or ‘warmer’ sounding amplification with the use of vacuum tube driven amplifiers and power amplifiers. • A study of these systems (and pre-electrical/natural amplification) and how/why they have been implemented will hopefully also enable me to better understand sound projection and environmental effects on sound in a given location or room. This will prove more than useful for me in other areas, in my music recording and production for example.
Fingerprint recognition can be done by using: - Optical Sensors: Here, the imaging process mainly includes capturing the digital images of the print, by using visible light. The sensor that is used in this process is basically a specialized digital camera. - Ultrasonic Sensors: These sensors put into effect the principles of medical USG for generating visual images of fingerprint. - Passive capacitance sensors: This variety of sensor uses the principle of medical USG as well, for generating the images of fingerprint patterns on the dermal layer of skin. - Active capacitance sensors: This type of sensors uses a definite type of charging cycle for applying a low electrical voltage to the skin prior to the measurement.
There are many useful devices that form images by refraction, such as eyeglasses, cameras, binoculars, microscopes, and telescopes. Gap loss: gap loss happens when the signal from one end of a piece of cable is transferred to another, but there is a space, breakage, or gap between them. Since fiber optics transmit data via light the light can cross this gap, but spreads out and is weakened and diffused
To start I would like to throw some light on some key words in the question, digital technology is a type of transfer that involves breaking a message or forms of communication between two machines down into binary codes, which consist of ones and zeros and can be reassembled upon been read by another piece of equipment that utilizes digital technology (Telecom. hellodirect.com, 2015). That is, digital technology uses digital codes to transmit signals and information between different devices, different from the older types of technology that uses other forms of information transfer and could not move data as quickly, for example the analogue devices in which information is transmitted by modulating a continuous transmission signal such as amplifying a signal’s strength or varying its frequency to add or take away data. (Bebopedia, 2015) In digital technology information is translated into binary format, where each bit is representative of two distinct amplitudes while analog technology translates information into electric pulses of varying amplitude. Despite these differences both technologies shear some common characteristics,
