/Projects/NSF DUE9952292/ProjectGUISE/Project_GUISE.htmThe various hardware building blocks of the Project GUISE instrument are:1. A variable-gain (×1, ×5, ×10, and ×50) instrumentation amplifier. The instrumentation amplifier has maximal input-bias currents of 2nA and input-offset voltages of 150µV. Independent adjustments for maximizing common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) are incorporated for voltage gains of ×1, ×5, and ×10; measured CMRR exceeds 90dB at 100Hz.2. An electronic cold-junction compensator (LT1025) for thermocouples. Types R, S, J, K, T, and E thermocouples are supported. The compensated thermocouple voltage is amplified by a dc-coupled amplifier with gain of ×50.3. Two independent variable-gain ac/dc-coupled single-ended

However, when the bubbleburst many firms quickly abandoned their corporate venturing units.
