An oscilloscope measures and displays the voltage of a signal over time. It samples the voltage at regular intervals, storing up to 2500 measurements with 8-bit precision. These measurements are displayed as a graph of voltage versus time, which is refreshed when the oscilloscope receives a trigger. The trigger is a condition set on the input signal, such as a voltage threshold, that causes the display to update. A signal generator will be used to create practice signals that vary over time, which will be measured by the oscilloscope in preparation for measuring muon signals.
The document provides an overview of the oscilloscope by explaining that it is a graph-displaying device that draws a graph of an electrical signal over time, with voltage on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. It then describes how an oscilloscope can be used to determine signal parameters like frequency, see circuit components represented by a signal, check for signal distortions, and more. The document also summarizes how analog and digital oscilloscopes work and key oscilloscope specifications and controls.
This document discusses night vision technology and infrared light. It provides information on the different types of infrared light including near infrared, mid infrared, and thermal infrared. It explains how night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras work by amplifying or detecting low levels of infrared light that are invisible to the naked eye but allow the user to see in dark conditions. Applications of night vision technology include military, law enforcement, hunting, and security/surveillance.
Sensors are devices that receive and respond to external stimuli. They can be classified as passive or active, absolute or relative, based on their operating principles and energy requirements. Sensors have characteristics like transfer function, span, accuracy, calibration, hysteresis, nonlinearity, repeatability, and resolution that describe their performance. Environmental factors like temperature, humidity can affect sensor stability and accuracy over time. An example temperature sensing application using a thermistor sensor interfaced with an analog to digital converter is provided.
Sensors are devices that detect physical phenomena and convert them into signals that can be measured and processed. They are used to measure properties like temperature, light, motion, pressure, and more. Sensors are found in many applications to enable automation and monitoring, from industrial plants and medical devices to cars, phones, and home appliances. Common sensors include temperature sensors, accelerometers, light sensors, magnetic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, photogates, and gas sensors like CO2 sensors.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
