The third terminal block makes available ±15VDC that may be used assubstrate bias voltages when tracing the IV characteristics of MOSFETs that are part of transistorarrays (e.g., CD4007).Two switches determine the functional mode of the curve tracer (MOSFET vs BJT, andNPN/NMOS vs PNP/PMOS).Fig. 1. Curve tracer front-panel connections. The unit is presently configured to measure the I-Vcharacteristics of a PMOS device.Figure 2 is a block diagram of the curve tracer. We have a complete schematic diagram of thedevice, but it is not included here. The schematic was drawn in landscape mode on an 11”×17”sheet, and

theimportant biological information is contained in the small fluctuating voltages associated withsynaptic events rather than absolute potential distance from ground. To allow sufficientamplification to see these fluctuating potentials without magnifying the absolute potentials onwhich they ride, the logical choice is to use a low-frequency filter to eliminate the direct currentpotentials. With low frequency filters, one can select Low Frequency Filter (LFF) cutofffrequencies of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 Hz, corresponding to time constants of 1.6, 5.3, 0.16, 0.05, or0.016 second. Even with modern digital equipment, the same LFF values work well withstandard scalp EEG frequencies. The most common setting is 1 Hz (τ = 0.16 s), which nicelypreserves most low

ESTIMATING PROCESS CAPABILITYThe X and R charts provide information about the performance or capability of the process inreal time frame. These charts work like a window into the process and provide a quantitativemeasure of the product quality. One must at least go through the following steps to determine theprocess capability.1) After all the assignable causes have been eliminated from the process as far as it is practical,check to see that the process is stable and under tight control, collect at least 25 to 50 samples, 3to 6 reading per sample.2) Record the data set in a time ordered sequence.

conservation as well asdevelopment of renewable energy resources must be vigorously pursued in order to find asolution to this dilemma. The entire public must be vested towards making a transition from afossil fuel based society to one that utilizes a far greater amount of renewable energy resources.According to Elder (2009) “Higher education has a critical role to play in this transition, much asit did during the space race of the 1960s. Our colleges can - and must - help students understandthe complex connections and interdependencies among our environment, energy sources, andeconomy - all of which underpin the green movement.”[1]The present situation is very similar to the 1960’s when the entire country was unified towardsplacing a man on the moon

Savings: fieldbus based systems will have a) engineering savings, b) construction savings, c) maintenance savings, and d) operation savings. 7. Lower cost of expansion and change: Since fieldbus systems are cheaper to buy and deploy, they are also cheaper to expand and modify.There are many fieldbus networks. Noel classified fieldbuses as discrete buses and processbuses [15]. Discrete buses primarily focus in the discrete manufacturing area and are typicallyON/OFF action, simple switches or low-level sensors. Competing discrete buses are: AS-I bus,Devicenet, Interbus-S, Profibus DP, SERCOS
