T Series Core Router Architecture Review (Whitepaper)Juniper Networks
Juniper Networks® T Series Core Routers have been in production since 2002, with the introduction of the Juniper Networks T640 Core Router. Since that time, T Series routers have evolved to maintain an unequivocal industry lead in capacity (slot, chassis, and system) and operational efficiencies in power and usability. Maintaining this standard has in part been possible due to design decisions made with the very first T Series system. The T Series demonstrates how Juniper has evolved its router architecture to achieve substantial technology breakthroughs in packet forwarding performance, bandwidth density, IP service delivery, and system reliability. At the same time, the integrity of the original design has made these breakthroughs possible. Not only do T Series platforms deliver industry-leading scalability, they do so while maintaining feature and software continuity across all routing platforms. Whether deploying a single-chassis or multichassis system, service providers can be assured that the T Series satisfies all networking requirements.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1 Preface
The scope of this course is the design of basic voltage feedback operational amplifier circuits. Using the
ideal op amp model and solving for the currents and voltages at each terminal we get the transfer
function as a Laplace Transform. This course provides a practical way of going from paper design to
prototyping working circuits.
This course is intended for professional electrical engineers. The course-taker should be familiar with
the Laplace and inverse Laplace Transforms and basic AC network analysis.
After completing the course, there is a quiz consisting of 16 multiple choice questions. On completion,
4 professional development hours will count towards satisfying PE licensure renewal requirements.

2 Introduction
The voltage feedback differential amplifier (“op amp” as it is called) is used in a wide variety of
electronic applications such as: linear amplifier/attenuator, signal conditioner, signal synthesizer,
computer, or simulator.
A practical way to approach designing and implementing an op amp circuit is to start with the ideal
model and get an expression that relates the output to the input, regardless of the input. This is
[1]
accomplished by working with the loop equations in the frequency or s domain .
In summary, the key to getting the transfer function is that the voltages at the input terminals of a
closed-loop op amp circuit mirror each other. Also, no current flows into or out of an input terminal.
om
When a signal is applied to either or both terminals, the output will adjust itself to meet these
constraints.

Also note : in AC network analysis, impedances are represented as phasors and do not vary with
time but with frequency. So there is no time domain representation or time variation of an impedance.
In the following sections, the same method is used for application specific circuits where the voltages
and impedances are arbitrary.
[1] To get the output in the time domain vo(t) we would have to multiply Vi(s) by Av(s) and then take the inverse Laplace
-1
Transform ; vo(t)=L [ Vi(s)·Av(s) ].

9. 3 The Ideal Voltage Feedback Op Amp 3.2 Ideal Model with Feedback
TOP
3.2 Ideal Model with Feedback
With feedback, all or a portion of the output is tied to either or both input terminals. The difference
between the voltages at the input terminals is still equal to zero and again no current flows into either
of the input terminals.
The voltage at each input terminal is treated as a node and is determined by the loop equations. The
terminal voltages are equated and we get a transfer function or closed loop gain which provides the
output over the input as a ratio (Laplace Transform).
In the following subsections, we’ll look at the feedback models : the non-zero reference and the zero
reference feedback models. As the names imply, the non-zero reference model is characterized by the
±
voltage at either input terminal, E ≠ 0 , and the zero-reference model is where the voltage at either
om

input terminal is referenced to 0 volts or ground; E

The determining factors for whether the output is inverted or not, are the circuit configuration and the
loop equations for the terminal currents and voltages. With voltage feedback op amp circuits, which
terminal the signal is connected to, by itself, does not determine whether the output is inverted or not.
For example, the 2 circuits below are both inverting amplifier/attenuators circuits. The only difference
is the op amp input terminals are reversed but both provide an output that is a linear amplifier or
attenuator with 180° phase shift or inversion:

3.4 About the Transfer Function
The transfer function gives you the output over the input expressed as a ratio. To get the output for a
specific input, multiply the Laplace Transform of the input by the transfer function. To convert to the
[2]
time domain, take the inverse Laplace Transform . Using Laplace Transform tables available on the
internet or in printed textbooks, is a very useful tool in op amp circuit design. Some online references
are listed in Appendix B.
Working in the s domain (using Laplace Transforms) is advantageous and readily gives any transients
that might exist

In the time domain, you could not express the transfer function as a ratio. You would have to solve
differential equations for the terminal voltages and currents and use the convolution integral to get the
output as a function of time, because superposition does not apply.

[2] The time domain representation of Av (that is av(t) = L [Av(s)] ) is actually the unit impulse response of the circuit. The
output vo(t) after applying an arbitrary input vi(t) is found by convolving vi(t) with av(t) { vo(t) ≡ vi(t)*av(t) } .

3.5 About Input Impedances
An input source can be either a directly connected zero impedance source, or a thevenin equivalent
source with an internal impedance. We need to be aware if a source does have internal impedance.
This needs to be considered in determining both the input impedance seen by the voltage source and
the transfer function of the circuit.
