Cordwood electronic packaging
This document discusses cordwood discrete component electronic packaging used in the 1950s-1960s. Cordwood modules involved stacking electronic components vertically in a cylindrical housing using insulating standoffs, allowing for high packaging density. Early implementations like guidance electronics in missiles had very short service lives due to high vibration levels from tactical use. Modifications like adding mounting feet and spacers could significantly increase the first modal frequency and reduce stresses, resulting in an estimated service life of over 175 hours for applications like tactical jet fighters.

Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s as a cheaper alternative to copper wiring. While aluminum wiring is still permitted by code, homes built before 1973 using single-strand aluminum wiring are considered "old technology" and may be prone to overheating and fire if connections loosen over time. Newer homes built since 1973 using "new technology" wiring with proper labeling of breakers and devices are much less likely to have issues. Homeowners with old aluminum wiring should monitor for signs of problems and consider upgrading switches and outlets to newer aluminum-compatible components.

Electricity is a form of energy involving electrons, protons, and neutrons that exists in three main types: direct current, alternating current, and static electricity. Direct current flows in one direction while alternating current oscillates back and forth as used in homes. Electricity was first discovered by the Greeks over 3,000 years ago and now travels through homes via electrical cables. To keep a home safe from electricity, outlets should have child covers, damaged cords replaced, and cords kept away from water. Dangers include standing in water or near metal during storms, and how to avoid them is to stay away from water and metal during storms and tall structures.

This document provides advice on security lighting for homes, including recommendations to use low intensity lighting rather than bright lights that could create shadows. It describes three popular types of security lights: PIR lights that detect motion, dusk-to-dawn lights that stay on at night, and solar-powered lights. It stresses the importance of having security lights installed by a qualified electrician and considering neighbors by directing lights properly.Residential electrical fires: Causes, Warning Signs, and Prevention
Electrical fires are a major risk in homes and can be caused by electrical malfunctions, an overburdened electrical system, or worn electrical wiring and components. Some warning signs of electrical problems include blown fuses, flickering lights, hot outlets, or buzzing sounds. To prevent electrical fires, homeowners should have electrical systems inspected regularly, encourage safe practices like not overloading outlets, and contact an electrician immediately if warning signs appear. Regular maintenance and safety upgrades can help reduce the risk of residential electrical fires.
Earth bonding
Earth bonding in bathrooms is important for electrical safety. All metal parts in the bathroom, like pipes, must be connected together with an earth cable to equalize any voltage or current from an electrical leak. This prevents dangerous shock currents by not allowing voltages to build up on conductive surfaces that could be touched. According to regulations, the earth wires from electrical appliances in the bathroom, like heaters and showers, can be directly connected to the local earth connection rather than running all the way back to the main fusebox. Proper earth bonding helps ensure passenger safety when electricity and water are near each other in the bathroom.
Electricity[1]
Benjamin Franklin was shocked when he discovered electricity through his experiments with a key, kite, and Leyden jar. He invented the lightning rod to protect buildings from lightning strikes. Michael Faraday later discovered that electricity and magnets are related when he produced electricity by moving a magnet through a copper wire, creating an electromagnet. Electricity is generated from both renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydropower as well as nonrenewable resources like coal, natural gas, and nuclear power.

Electricity is usually carried by wires or batteries to power machines, lighting and heat. It was discovered over 2000 years ago by the Greeks. Three potential dangers of electricity are playing with plugs or sockets, near overhead cables, or near train lines. These dangers can be avoided by using child proof outlet covers, keeping electrical items away from water, and replacing damaged cords. Electricity travels to homes through conductors.
10 unusual worldwide power outages of 2020
If a universal lesson emerged from 2020, it was to expect the unexpected — so it’s not surprising that the year’s power outages appropriately followed suit. From an overflow of corn to the backside of a bull, Eaton uncovered some of the most bizarre blackout architects as we tracked power outages across the globe throughout the past 12 months.

This project aims to light a light bulb using saltwater as a conductor of electricity instead of traditional methods that cause more pollution. Saltwater is used because when salt dissolves in water, the sodium and chloride ions can carry an electric current. The students built electrodes out of popsicle sticks, aluminum foil, and wire to connect one side to a battery and one side to a light bulb. When the electrodes are placed in a solution of saltwater, the current flows through the solution, lighting the bulb. The students hope this project can help promote using more environmentally friendly electricity sources and reducing pollution.
Brochure
Salt water can conduct electricity due to the ions present when salt dissolves in water. By connecting electrodes in a saltwater solution to a battery and light bulb in a circuit, the light bulb can be lit, demonstrating that salt water can act as a conductor without generating pollution like traditional electricity sources. The document outlines using salt water, aluminum coated tongue depressors as electrodes, cables, batteries, and a light bulb to create a simple circuit that lights the bulb, showing salt water's ability to conduct electricity in a non-polluting way.
CH-ELECTRICITY AND CIRCUIT
In this presentation you will learn about the Electric Circuit, Electric Bulb, Cell, Circuits and many more.
Voice usage mobile charging
Researchers have developed a technology that can convert sound energy from the environment into electrical power. It uses a piezoelectric material such as zinc oxide that produces a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress from sound waves. The document describes how the technology works by using sound absorbing pads, zinc oxide electrodes, and a nano-generator to convert mechanical energy from sound into electrical energy that can be used to charge batteries. It has potential applications in powering devices in remote locations or insulating structures to capture wasted noise energy.
How power gets to our homes (group B)
Electricity is generated at power stations and sent through transformers to increase the voltage for transmission along power lines. The electricity then passes through substations where transformers decrease the voltage before being distributed to homes through wooden poles, with further reductions in voltage to safely deliver power for use.

A neighbor claims their house is haunted by spirits that turn off lights, slam doors and make footsteps at night. To test this scientifically, one could set up motion-activated cameras, microphones and infrared sensors throughout the house to record evidence when events occur and see if they can be explained by natural causes rather than ghosts. Monitoring equipment scientifically could help determine if paranormal activity is really happening or if there are normal explanations.
Quality defects of home
The document outlines several important quality defects that can occur in a home, including indoor air pollution, electricity issues, water problems, wastage, and health defects. It discusses specific issues like overuse of electricity, water leakage, unhealthy eating habits, and provides recommendations for prevention such as turning off unused appliances, repairing taps, eating a balanced diet, and using solar power to reduce energy usage.
Final presentation 2
This presentation covered various architectural and artistic elements from different locations, including lamps, stained glass, mirrors, and trees from the Gilster Residence, as well as clocks from the Balis Residence. Public buildings like the Bernalillo County Court House and local landmarks like Smith's Gas Station were also featured. Different mathematical functions such as ellipses, parabolas, absolute value, and sine curves were used to represent or analyze the shapes within these structures and scenes.
Chemical bonding (jared p. daniel m.)
This document discusses different types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions and are characterized by their electrical properties and solubility. Covalent bonds form when atoms share valence electrons to fill their octets according to the octet rule, including sigma, double and triple bonds. Metallic bonds occur when positive metal ions are surrounded by a "sea" of delocalized electrons, giving metals high melting points due to the energy required to overcome the strong bond.
Current and electricity
1) Current electricity deals with the motion of charges in conductors like electrons. Electric current is defined as the charge flowing through any cross-section of a conductor per second, with the standard unit being 1 ampere.
2) Materials can be classified as conductors, insulators, or semiconductors based on their conductivity. Conductors have high conductivity while insulators have very low conductivity.
3) Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in a conductor. It is measured in ohms and depends on factors like the material and dimensions of the conductor.
Electon microscopy
Electron microscopy uses electrons instead of light to view specimens. The first transmission electron microscope was created in 1931 by Rusta and Knoll. An electron microscope works by firing electrons from an electron gun through a vacuum, using electric and magnetic fields to focus the electrons through an electron column onto a specimen. When the electrons interact with the specimen, they can be absorbed, scattered, reflected, or cause emission of other electrons or photons, allowing the microscope to image the specimen at high magnifications. Biological specimens often require fixation to preserve their structure for electron microscopy examination. Scanning electron microscopes use a focused beam of electrons to scan across and generate signals from the specimen surface.
Electrical safety precautions and Electric shocks
The document provides safety tips for working with electricity. It advises turning off the power source before attempting to fix electrical issues. Proper grounding is important to prevent electric shock, such as using three-prong plugs and ground fault circuit interrupters. Never assume the power is off and always check yourself. In emergencies of electric shock, call emergency services rather than treating the victim yourself.
CATU Electrical Substation Warning Signs
This document provides information about various signaling and warning signs, including their reference types, materials, colors, and dimensions. Signs are listed for substation, specialist, and general use. Reference types include models like AM-61-GB, AM-282/2-RM, AM-7002, and AP-951/2. The signs are made of materials like aluminum and plastic and come in various standard sizes.

The signs are made of materials like aluminum and plastic and come in various standard sizes.
Lecture26 transistors
The document discusses the history and development of transistors and semiconductors. It describes how semiconductors were discovered to conduct electricity when doped with impurities, and how this led to the development of the transistor. The first silicon transistor was created in 1954, kickstarting the digital age. Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and enabled the development of integrated circuits, microprocessors, and computers. Advances in semiconductor manufacturing have dramatically reduced transistor sizes over time, increasing processing power.
Lecture19 electriccharge
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that exists in two forms: positive or negative. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. Charge is quantized and conserved within isolated systems. Conductors readily transmit charges through loosely bound outer electrons, while insulators do not transmit charges at all. Charged objects create electric fields that exert forces on other charges according to Coulomb's law. The electric field is defined as the force felt by a test charge placed at a given point. Field lines depict the direction and strength of the electric field. Within conductors, the electric field is zero and excess charge resides entirely on the surface. The field is strongest at sharp points on conductors.
Lecture20 electrostatics
1) Gauss' law relates the electric flux passing through a closed surface to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface. The flux is proportional to the enclosed charge.
2) Gaussian surfaces can be used to calculate electric fields from different charge distributions like a point charge or a line of charges.
3) As an example, the force on an electron near the surface of the brain due to the electric field from all the protons in the brain would be around 10 Newtons, exerting a huge pressure.
Lecture21 potential
Electric potential is defined as the electric potential energy per unit charge. It is measured in volts and represents the work required to move a charge between two points. The electric potential difference between two points is equal to the work needed to move a positive test charge between those points. Equipotential surfaces represent points in space where the electric potential is the same. Electric field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces.
Lecture24 basiccircuits
1. An electrical circuit is a closed path that allows current to flow. Current will not flow in an open circuit where the path is not continuous.
2. Basic circuits involve batteries, resistors, and how current and voltage are distributed in series and parallel configurations. Kirchhoff's rules can be used to analyze more complex circuits.
3. Household circuits use parallel wiring with circuit breakers or fuses to protect against overcurrent from short circuits. Proper grounding is also important for safety.

Some electrical faults are rarely heard of, while others are much more common. Keep an eye out for these signs to figure out quickly if there is a problem in your home.
Lecture22 capacitance
Capacitors can store electric charge and energy. A capacitor consists of two conductors near each other. The amount of charge a capacitor can store is proportional to the voltage between the conductors and depends on the geometry and material between them. The capacitance is this constant of proportionality and is measured in Farads. Capacitors store energy in the electric field between the conductors, with more energy required to charge a capacitor with higher capacitance.
5.5 ohms law
This document provides instruction on Ohm's Law, including learning objectives to investigate the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R). It presents Ohm's Law that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R), and includes examples of calculating current given voltage and resistance. Practice questions are provided for students to calculate values using Ohm's Law.
Making a loudspeaker
Sounds are produced by vibrations that travel through a medium such as air. The document discusses how to construct and test a loudspeaker. It instructs the reader to plug in the speaker, turn on the voltage, switch it on at the mains, and listen as they move their ear closer to identify how the sound changes and what causes this. The learning objectives are to describe how sounds are produced, construct a loudspeaker, and explain how a loudspeaker works.
Lesson 16 Using Systems Tools For Basic Maintenance
The document discusses basic system maintenance tools in Windows XP. It describes the System Tools menu which contains Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup utilities. Disk Defragmenter defragments the hard disk to improve performance while Disk Cleanup deletes unnecessary files to free up disk space. Both should be run every three months. The document also mentions the Scheduled Tasks Wizard which can automatically run these tools on a schedule to simplify maintenance.
Basic electrical circuit theory
An electrical circuit consists of interconnected circuit elements that can be categorized as either active or passive. Passive elements like resistors, inductors and capacitors do not generate electricity but instead consume or store energy, while active elements like sources can generate energy by converting it from a non-electrical to an electrical form. There are two types of active elements: independent sources that generate voltage or current depending only on internal properties, and dependent sources whose output depends on another circuit variable.
Vacuum tube
Vacuum tubes were invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming and were a basic component for electronics throughout the 20th century, enabling technologies like radio, television, radar, and computers. Vacuum tubes work by emitting electrons from a heated cathode through a vacuum and rely on the thermionic and photoelectric effects. Early vacuum tubes included diodes, which could rectify AC, and triodes, which were invented in 1907 by Lee de Forest and added a grid electrode to control current flow.

The document discusses different types of electrical wire used for various purposes. Electrical wire is insulated conductors that deliver electricity. The type of wire used depends on the circuit's power demand, environment, building occupancy size, and regulations. Wiring is simplest for single-family homes but more complex for commercial and industrial buildings designed to withstand high voltages, currents, and dangerous conditions. Early wiring systems used bare or cloth-covered conductors but were replaced by standardized knob and tube wiring due to safety issues. Modern cables called Romex wires have thermoplastic-insulated conductors and a ground wire in a plastic jacket. Industrial building wire is often stranded for flexibility and has additional casings for protection from moisture and damage.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Top 4 signs your home needs an electrical makeover
- 1. Top 4 signs your home needs AN ELECTRICAL MAKEOVER What’s in your outlets? Tamper resistant receptacles offer integral protection far superior to the removable plastic safety caps of yesteryear. Each year, more than 2,400 children are injured by inserting foreign objects into receptacles. 1 Take a moment during National Electrical Safety Month to evaluate your home for potential electrical hazards. Horror movie lighting. Flickering lights and tripping circuit breakers are a sign that you are trying to use more electricity than the circuit can provide. Homes built 50+ years ago usually only needed 60 amps of electricity.Today, homes need 100 amps or more. 2 Wires getting a wet down? Wet switches and receptacles greatly increase the chance for electrical shock by creating a path between a power source and a grounded surface. Since the first code requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters, or GFCIs, in 1971, they have saved thousands of lives and helped cut the number of home electrocutions in half. 3 Sticking with conventional circuit protection? Arcs and sparks caused by loose connections or damaged wires usually occur out of sight behind walls. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) can detect these arcs and turn off power before an arc causes a fire, unlike standard breakers and fuses. Arcing faults are responsible for starting more than 28,000 home fires and causing over $700 million in property damage each year in the United States. 4 For more information about Eaton’s electrical safety solutions or to find a certified electrical contractor, visit www.eaton.com/residential. There are nearly 250,000residential building fires each year that cause $5.9 BILLION in property loss. Electrical distribution systems are the THIRDleading cause of home structure fires.
