8/12/2023 0 Comments Argon atomic emission spectrum![]() The first papers describing the potential advantages of using inductively coupled plasmas as vaporization-atomization-excitation sources for the atomic emission determination of the elements appeared in the literature approximately ten years ago. The position of light hitting the detector determines the wavelength and the intensity is proportional to concentration.= , The Shimadzu ICPE-9800 series simultaneous ICP-AES splits light emitted by the plasma first into one dimension, at a grating, and then splits again vertically, creating a two-dimensional pattern that covers as much of the detector surface as possible. If your samples will always be of concentrations high enough, then get an instrument with only a radial view. Radial view has fewer interferences and a large dynamic range. It also suffers from more interferences and is not as linear. Because of its longer viewing path, axial view has better detection limits. CFR 40 Part 136.6 allows both axial and radial viewing for EPA 200.7 in wastewater. The newer method, Method 200.5, is an axial view method. Traditional ICP, or method 200.7, uses a radial view. The intensity of the radiation is proportional to the concentration. The wavelength of the radiation is specific to the element. Elements in the sample ionize and release radiation. To summarize, samples in a liquid (usually aqueous) state are introduced into a plasma. The viewing area for ICP emission work is somewhere between the 6500C and the 6000C. This causes a chain reaction within the magnetic field, breaking down the argon gas to contain argon gas, argon ions, and electrons. With argon flowing through, a high-voltage spark ionizes some of the argon. The oscillation of current creates a magnetic field in the area inside the coil at the top of the torch. When power is applied (usually about 1100 W), an alternating current oscillates at the frequency of the generator (27 or 40 MHz). Although argon is usually used, other gases can be used for specific purposes.Ī load coil connected to a Radio Frequency (RF) generator surrounds the top of the torch. This stream makes a tunnel through the center of the plasma. A third gas flow, the nebulizer gas, carries the sample through the injector and into the plasma. This second gas stream, also called auxiliary gas, changes the position of the plasma relative to the injector. A second stream of argon, at a much slower flow rate, passes between the middle tube and the sample injector. Argon gas passes between the outer tube and the middle tube and swirls around in a spiral flow. There is an outer tube, a middle tube, and the sample injector. The plasma torch consists of three tubes, usually made of quartz. The number of photons emitted is proportional to the number of atoms that make it to the plasma (concentration). The wavelength (or energy) of the photon is specific to the element ionized. In ICP emission, the photons emitted during ionization are measured. Elements that are carried into the plasma ionize. Plasma is gaseous argon at about 10,000 C. High dissolved salts in the sample can clog the nebulizer, and with every sample there are always elements you may not be interested in that can interfere. You can increase the amount of sample to the plasma however, there are always tradeoffs.

8/12/2023 0 Comments Define operating budget![]() This is distinguished from discretionary revenue that is accounted for in the General Fund’s Non-departmental Revenue budget unit and can be spent on any programs or services based on Board priorities. Revenue received by County departments or programs that are legally required to be spent on certain programs. Budget units are often departments and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but not all budget units are departments and the budgets for some departments are contained in multiple budget units. This is also referred to as a “no-growth” budget.Ī portion of the budget that includes a program, service or group of programs or services that have an overall appropriation level. That is the amount needed to fund current staffing and programs, adjusted only for increases or decreases in the cost of doing business. The cost in the budget year for each budget unit’s current staffing level and programs. This becomes the Approved or Approved Recommended Budget and provides interim spending authority until a budget is adopted, no later than October 2nd. Prior to June 30th, the Board of Supervisors considers the County Executive’s Recommended Budget, makes any revisions, reductions or additions and approves the Recommended Budget as revised. In adopting the budget the Board of Supervisors approves an appropriation level for each budget unit and object of expenditure. Allocated costs include internal services or overhead costs, such as insurance, facility maintenance, debt service, fleet management, central information technology, central finance and accounting and central budget administration.Ī legal limit on how much can be spent annually by each budget unit and object of expenditure.

Let’s walk through how to adjust those settings to get you feeling like a pro in no time.įirst off, let’s talk about cursor speed. No worries, my friend, that’s why you’ve got me here. Happy trackballing!Īlright, so you’ve got your Kensington Expert Trackball all set up and ready to go, but you’re not quite feeling the cursor speed or scrolling settings. So, don’t be afraid to get in there and tweak the settings, you’ll be glad you did. It’s a powerful tool, that can make your work more efficient and enjoyable. You can also adjust pointer speed and acceleration, and even create custom button assignments to specific functions or shortcuts. ![]() And if you ever need to reset everything back to the default settings, the Kensington Expert Trackball software has a “Reset to Default” button for that. Trust me, it’ll make a world of difference in how you interact with your computer. So, play around with the settings and find what works best for you. Or if you’re working with a lot of spreadsheets, you can set the scroll wheel to control the horizontal scroll instead of the vertical scroll. If you’re left-handed, for example, you can swap the functions of the left and right buttons. And the scroll wheel, well, that’s pretty self-explanatory.īut here’s the cool thing, you can customize all of these settings to better suit your needs. The buttons work just like a regular mouse, with the left button being the primary button and the right button being the secondary button. This means that moving the trackball left and right will move the cursor left and right, and moving it up and down will move the cursor up and down. ![]() By default, the trackball is set to work with the standard cursor controls in your operating system. Now, let’s talk about the default settings and how they work. And then there’s the scroll wheel in between, which you can use to scroll up and down on a page. The buttons on the side are for left and right click, just like a regular mouse. The trackball itself is the big ball on top that you move around with your thumb or fingers to move the cursor on your screen. First off, let’s talk about the different parts and their functions. Alright, let’s dive into understanding your Kensington Expert Trackball.

You can eject 3 pilots, need only one mech to finish mission. In 8th turn decide when is mech near destruction. It makes more breathe to another 2 running mechs. In 4th turn activate nearest zone with 2 rocket mechs. Stay with 2 mechs with rockets in nearest zone. And on close range he can give 260+5x30=410 damage Some tips - Good is 95 tons Meele Banshee - 2x+60 melee damage, 5x small laser (+30 damage). Originally posted by xfojtik:About that triangulate 8 turn mission (extra hard when you are Ally with somebody) - I do it on 5th try. DID ANYONE PLAY TEST THESE LEVELS BEFORE THEY LAUNCHED? Im not super upset about the money I spent on the DLC as it adds a lot of cool stuff and flushes out the endgame quite a bit, but I am curious. if your mechs split up, they cant kill thier way through the enemy fast enough to survive, if you run a lighter lance of mediums or fast heavies, the asault mechs make you thier ♥♥♥♥♥, it is strait up impossible. if your mechs stick together, you cant get the beacons. I had the two star league reward mechs, an Atlas, and an LRM boat Stalker, normally one of the strongest, Highest DPS, toughest lances you can possibly deploy. Thats right, you have 8 turns to kill your way through 12 meaty mechs and take and hold 3 points that cannot mutually suport each other. The beacon zones are protected by 12 assault and heavy mechs. To place a beacon your mech must sit in the designated zone for 2 turns. On the final level, you have 8 turns to place 3 beacons at 3 widely seperated points. (not sure if being allied to a faction changes the missions). Next I allied with the Federated suns and tried their flashpoint as an ally. The escort missions still suck because the APCs are driven by idiots with a death wish, but babysitting APCs is nothing new or even all that challenging. Did the Steiner Mission set with no problem. So I bought flashpoint today and loaded it up. 8/11/2023 0 Comments Flirc harmony h688![]() In the “Activities” screen, press “Add Activity” button.

Select “Set Up New Hub” on the “Welcome” screen. Install the Harmony App on your smartphone and then launch the app. Now, let’s install the Harmony App to configure the Harmony Smart Remote Control. You can use the IR mini blaster to reach devices such as the Flirc adapter that are out of view of the Harmony Hub. Place the Harmony Hub next to your media device and TV. I would recommend using this remote instead of your smartphone to control your entertainment center. The Harmony Smart remote control can control up to 6 activities. The awesome Flirc team has added a default Kodi profile to the Logitech Harmony database, so your Flirc will work with the Harmony without any additional pairing. Find content faster via custom activities.Easy setup with your smartphone (no pairing is needed).Remote control doesn’t need line-of-sight for it to work.Control your devices through cabinets and walls.Use one remote to control all devices including Amazon Fire TV.These are the main benefits of using Logitech Harmony Smart Control and Flirc: While you can use any remote with Flirc, according to my extensive tests, you can achieve the best user experience with Logitech Harmony Smart Control. If you are not planning to use the Logitech Harmony remote control, you can skip this step. Option 1: Setting up Flirc with Logitech Harmony remote control Option 2 explains how to use Flirc with any remote control.Option 1 involves using Flirc with a Harmony Smart Control.Next, I will show you two optional ways to use Flirc: While the HDMI CEC adapter works fine for the predefined keys, I needed more flexibility to map custom shortcuts and buttons (e.g., full screen mode) with my remote control.įurthermore, if you want to use other applications on a Windows-based HTPC, such as Steam Big Picture then, unlike the HDMI CEC adapter, the Flirc allows you to control any application that supports keyboard commands. I have been testing Raspberry Pi and HTPC with the HDMI CEC adapter to control the Kodi with my TV remote. The reason why I favor Flirc over HDMI CEC is the flexibility. However, if you have a modern TV with HDMI CEC capability, you might wonder what is the point of having a Flirc device if you can use, for example, Raspberry Pi with the built-in HDMI CEC adapter. If your TV is not HDMI CEC capable, then the only practical way to control HTPC with your TV remote (or with Logitech Harmony) is with the Flirc USB IR receiver. In other words, you can use your TV’s remote control to send key presses to the Kodi or any other application that supports libCEC on your HTPC. HDMI CEC is a technology that allows your TV and HTPC to talk with each other over the HDMI cable. ![]() The Flirc is a little USB infrared receiver that outputs presses on a remote control button as keyboard input to any app such as Kodi. Why you should choose Flirc over HDMI CEC Logitech Harmony Smart Control (optional).In order to complete this guide, you will need: If you prefer not to use the Logitech Harmony, I will also show you how to use Flirc to control your HTPC, Raspberry Pi or Amazon Fire TV running Kodi (was XBMC) media center using any remote. Over the years, I have tried many remote controls and IR receivers, but nothing has ever worked perfectly until I found this combo: Flirc USB adapter and Logitech Harmony Smart remote control. You will also learn how to use voice commands with the Logitech Harmony Hub. In this post, I will show you the perfect way to control your entertainment center smart home devices using a Logitech Harmony Hub and Flirc adapter.

That'd be Ride1Up and its Cafe Cruiser with the passenger kit ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends). Rad Power has a new CEO, but if you're thinking about a new ebike, consider a company with a better track record. However, recent lawsuits concerning safety and reliability have given me pause. It also comes in a version with a high-top tube, but we appreciate the ease of a step-through.įor many years, I recommended Seattle's Rad Power Bikes as a reliable, heavier, great direct-to-consumer (DTC) bike for people who wanted the option to carry more gear or another passenger. The 4 ST is optimized for riders who are 5'6" and taller, which makes it just slightly too big for me at 5'2". Also, you can only unlock it with the app. On the minus side, the rear hub motor has a power output of only 250 watts, which might not be enough if you live in a hilly area. It's somewhat rare to see features like a carbon belt drive at this price, as well as lights that turn on automatically when it gets dark. You can also use your phone to check the battery level and easily pop it in and out of the frame for charging indoors. Just buy a compatible phone case (a negligible, if slightly annoying, extra expense), and using Google Maps to get around town is easy and painless. However, the stem has a built-in quad lock system and wireless charging. Like the VanMoof, the 4 ST is beautiful, low-maintenance, and easy to assemble out of the box. VanMoof's ebikes are often touted as the best for beginners, but we picked the Cowboy 4 ST ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) for the simple reason that, if an electric bike relies heavily on an app on your phone, it should come with a charger. But its smart shift system may be a little confusing to those new to electric biking, and the base price doesn't include all the commuter extras. Momentum is owned by Giant, and the Voya E+ 3 ($2,000) is equally light and absolutely stunning in person. Specialized makes one that's pricier but with a nicer low-maintenance internal gear hub and belt drive, and we like Cannondale's version as well. ★ Alternatives: We have tried almost all the entry-level cruisers. All in all, it's a shockingly affordable package for everything you need to start your 6-mile city commute. It has Trek's proprietary 250-watt hub motor, a 250-watt-hour battery, standard 9-speed Shimano shifters, fast road bike wheels, and hydraulic disc brakes, as well as a few fun extra built-ins, like integrated lights, a bell, a rear rack, fenders, and a kickstand. (I'm currently riding the step-through.) At 40 pounds, it's pretty light! It rides a lot like the light, versatile hybrid I rode all through college. It comes in two versions: a step-over and a step-through. Right now, the most reasonably priced one is the Trek FX+ 2 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends). I also suggest looking for an all-in-one package-lights and a bell are non-negotiable purchases if you want to ride at night or in the rain.Īlmost every major bike manufacturer now makes an entry-level commuter electric bicycle. If this is your first bike, I strongly suggest going with an established manufacturer that has a large support network of affiliated retailers and shops, so you can test a few and not have to assemble or fix it yourself. The prices on direct-to-consumer bikes are very appealing, but if you wouldn't send your kid down a hill on a skateboard with wobbly wheels, I wouldn't recommend doing the same yourself. ![]() Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day. com and our print magazine (if you'd like). ![]() Special offer for Gear readers: Get a 1-year subscription to WIRED for $5 ($25 off).

They get you outside, reduce traffic congestion, and shrink your carbon footprint. You don't need to be physically fit to ride one. Ebikes are now lighter, more attractive, and more powerful than ever. For years, electric bicycles were bulky, inconvenient, expensive machines with limited battery life. 8/11/2023 0 Comments Popcorn time download speed in red![]() That person, who was initially known as Sebastián or Pochoclín, is Federico Abad, a designer based out of Buenos Aires, Argentina.Ībad, so the story goes, got the idea for Popcorn Time after going through his own problems of consuming newly released movies. Popcorn Time, which was created by a group of anonymous Argentinian web developers, was initially released in March 2014.Įver since its release, only one person from the original founding team has come out in public to acknowledge their role in the project. Those versions are available on various platforms such as Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux. Various forks (different versions of the software), due to their illegality as well as open-source nature, have therefore been released over the years. Popcorn Time has therefore been shut down on multiple occasions only to resurface under a new domain name. Uploading and downloading copyrighted files, as executed during the seeding process, is illegal in many jurisdictions. This is also where the legal questionability of Popcorn Time originates. That means while you consume the file, it is simultaneously shared with other peers on the network. Normally, when downloading a file through a regular torrenting network, arbitrary bits of a file are downloaded without any specified order.Īnother key characteristic of torrenting is the seeding of a file. The video is then downloaded in sequential order to ensure a smooth playing experience. Instead, it utilizes a peer network that is comprised of multiple participants from which one downloads the video. The platform utilizes torrenting technology to download the content, which is then streamed within its app.īeing built on BitTorrent means that the platform does not host any of the videos itself. Popcorn Time is an open-source software that allows anyone to download and stream media files such as videos. |
