It may also be wired for turning the power off to the windings to allow for the motorto move freely. For this application the stepper motor will move in full steps and the all windingsoff is not wired. Pins 10 and 11 are wired together on the translator for it to use its internal optoisolation. This helps to protect the control lines of the translator. Figure 9 is a connectiondiagram from the 82C55A to the SLO-SYN translator

It was believed that few sailing ships could ever develop the speed necessary totheoretically break through the chain. Of course, the “Great Chain” was never tested and adiscussion on its strength and practicality will be left for another forum.

One of the reason these materialswere chosen was to give a range of materials from ductile to brittle and to provide a challenge inthe use of stress transformation for the 45 degree angle.

Given the spectral width of a light source and the transmission length, achromatic dispersion parameter becomes the critical characteristic of an optical fiber thatdetermines chromatic dispersion. Manufacturers specify the chromatic-dispersion parameter for optical fibers either bygiving its value or by the formula D(l) = (S 0/4)l[1 – (l0/l)4], (4)where S0 is the zero-dispersion slope in ps/(nm2-km), l0 is the zero-dispersion wavelength, and lis the operating

. Introduction Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a not-for-profit organization that partners with middle schools and high schools, organizations in the private sector, and institutes of higher education to provide students with a technology-based, project-oriented curriculum targeted to increase the quality and number of engineering and engineering technology professionals in this country. Conceptualized by Richard Blais in the early 1980’s, this program, with the help of the Charitable Venture Foundation, started with 13 schools in 1997. Currently, 221 high schools and 57 middle schools in 27 states are affiliated with PLTW with a projection of 600 schools by the end of 2003. Approximately 80,000 students have been exposed to the PLTW program. In

Sargent was very enthusiastic aboutthe course, because he recognized immediately its potential for real interdisciplinarycooperation.
