During 1954, 1956, and 1958, 21 more nuclear bombs were detonated at Bikini, yielding a total of 75 megatons of TNT (310 PJ), equivalent to more than 3,000 Baker bombs. Only one was an air burst, the 3.8 megaton Redwing Cherokee test. Air bursts distribute fallout in a large area, but surface bursts produce intense local fallout. [180]
Baker called the technique "back clamping", but the circuit is now called a Baker clamp. Many sources credit Baker's report for the two-diode clamp circuit. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Also in 1956, Baker described the circuit in a patent application; the 1961 issued patent US 3,010,031 [ 6 ] claims the use of the clamp in symmetrical flip-flop circuits.
Operation Ranger was the fourth American nuclear test series. It was conducted in 1951 and was the first series to be carried out at the Nevada Test Site. [1] All the bombs were dropped by B-50D bombers and exploded in the open air over Frenchman Flat ().
An electronic control unit (ECU), also known as an electronic control module (ECM), is an embedded system in automotive electronics that controls one or more of the electrical systems or subsystems in a car or other motor vehicle.
A bypass capacitor is often used to decouple a subcircuit from AC signals or voltage spikes on a power supply or other line. A bypass capacitor can shunt energy from those signals, or transients, past the subcircuit to be decoupled, right to the return path. For a power supply line, a bypass capacitor from the supply voltage line to the power ...
The Martin-Baker Mk.10 is a British rocket-assisted ejection seat designed and built by Martin-Baker. Introduced in the 1970s, the zero-zero capable Mk.10 has been installed in many combat aircraft types.
Conformal coating gives most of the benefits of potting, and is lighter and easier to inspect, test, and repair. Conformal coatings can be applied as liquid or condensed from a vapor phase. When potting a circuit board that uses surface-mount technology , low glass transition temperature (T g ) potting compounds such as polyurethane or silicone ...
An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. [1] [2] [3] These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). The resulting waveforms can be injected into a device under test and ...
