LEE DEFOREST AND THE EARLY AUDIONS In 1906 Lee DeForest announced the development of the first three-element vacuum-tube detector in The Audion: A New Receiver for Wireless Telegraphy‚ from the Scientific American Supplement. The original Audion was capable of slightly amplifying received signals‚ but at this stage could not be used for more advanced applications‚ such as radio transmitters. The inefficient design of the original Audion meant it was initially of little value to radio‚ and

INTERNAL FINISHING OF THICK CYLINDER SUS 304 STEEL TUBES USING MAGNETIC ABRASIVE FINISHING SETUP Abstract Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is an advanced finishing method‚ which improves the quality of surfaces and performance of the products. Surface is finished by removing the material in the form of microchips by abrasive particles in the presence of magnetic field. The material is removed in such a way that surface finishing and deburring are performed simultaneously with the applied magnetic

The effect of Speed Limits on Road Traffic Accidents Summary An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of speed limits on road traffic accidents. The investigation took place in Sweden during the summers of 1961 and 1962 and lasted for 92 days in each summer. For part of the 92 days general speed limits of 90km/hr or 100km/hr were imposed‚ for the rest of the time they were not. The number of

Hyperloop Vs. High-Speed Trains When it comes to high-speed transportation the United States falls short compared to the rest of the world. Currently in California there is a need for a mode of transportation that can get passengers around quickly and at a reasonable cost. The ideal mode of transportation to solve the problem would be either a high-speed train or a Hyperloop system. Given the manufacturability‚ increased efficiency‚ and reduced costs of the Hyperloop it would be the right choice

wanted to impose a national speed limit and instead of enacting legislation they decided to threaten the states that failed to comply‚ by withholding federal road funds; I feel it should have been considered unlawful.
