The Apollo survival kit provided 48 hours of survival supplies for the three-man crew. Displayed are the contents of one of two rucksacks.
Radio Beacon
The survival radio was a hand-held, dry-cell-battery-powered, electronic signal and voice communications device. The radio could be operated within the SC by using a connector cable to the SC antenna. A constant emergency-signal and voice-contact device was required to aid rescue teams if postlanding recovery was delayed. Voice reception increased from approximately 30 to 120 miles. Voice modulation improved and radio weight was reduced from 6 pounds to 4 pounds. Beacon range reception also increased to 120 nautical miles, for search aircraft operating at 10,000 feet.
Survival Blanket
Three pieces of nylon-Mylar material that are 60 by 42 inches are provided for the Apollo missions. The material could be used for thermal protection and for signal purposes.
Water Containers
Three water containers were included in the Apollo survival kit. A 1/4-inch-radius indention forming an "X" on each of the two largest sides of the water containers solved a deflection problem which occurred because of pressure differential. A few crewmen also stated that the aluminum caused the water to have an undesirable taste.
Connected Vehicle SafetyCars that look out for each other
With a little warning, many traffic accidents can be avoided altogether. Enabling cars and scooters to communicate and work together may be the first step to avoid collisions and other incidents. To do this, fast and reliable communication amongst vehicles is critical, even on crowded city streets. Intel Labs, through the Intel Collaborative Research Institute for Connected Context Computing, is exploring visible light from tail lights to support high-speed data transmission over the short distances between vehicles. The technology uses direct modulation of LED tail lights to encode data in the visible spectrum, while maintaining a constant ambient lighting state. At almost no

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release envelope generated by direct PWM synthesis on an Arduino. The envelope is pre-computed using a small C program on a Linux machine, then stored in 256 bytes of Flash memory (ROM) in the Arduino's processor.
Image shows placement of a single front loaded primary transmit coil running across a 50MHz DDS (Direct-Digital-Synthesiser). The DDS includes full Freq-Phase modulation control for both power and data transfer. On-board circuitry also includes real time phase and magnitude monitoring of primary coil voltage and current waveforms allowing full monitoring of resulting transformer impedance and power coupling.
A single coil driver was included as a fallback option after requirements changes mandating direct wire galvanic coupling of signals into the eye via a percutaneous plug.
Advanced eye-tracking coil driver functions were subsequently removed from future designs with eye tracking then reverting to the use of mirrors and FPGA driven image segmentation ;-(

About the Korg MS-10:
The Dirty Carter Electronic Sound Generating Instrument was designed by John Richards (Dirty Electronics) and Chris Carter from legendary Industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. It was produced for a special performance by Carter and the 25 strong Dirty Electronics Ensemble in 2010. It was originally designed as a touch controlled instrument with the player's skin resistance completing the circuit. This hard wired modification by A.S.M.O. gives more control and predictability by wiring all to the touch contacts to pots and switches. An additional low pass resonant filter has been added, LFO and an external CV socket for filter modulation.
The case is made of stained ply and the front panel is covered with black leatherette.

In the afternoon of 15 April 2009, the Moon-1 Humvee Rover encountered a snow-covered lead (opening in the sea-ice exposing liquid water) at 68o15.573’N, 108o52.820’W which caused the vehicle to sink through slush and become immobilized. The Northwest Passage Drive Expedition team succeeded in rescuing the vehicle using the Moon-1’s powerful front winch, ice anchors, and the Humvee’s unique break throttle modulation (BTM) torque transfer capability. The Expedition continued that day and reached Campsite Five at the western tip of Kent Peninsula (68o36.820’N, 108o19.409’W) in the evening, achieving a distance traversed that day of 97 km and a total distance traversed from Kugluktuk of 336 km.

Highlights from NPR (Neighborhood Public Radio) at MOCA's Engagment Party. "IN YOUR CAR" Day 2 of 3
While MOCA generally encourages green transportation, NPR asks that visitors bring their cars to this event. FREE parking will be available in public lot 7; entry is accessible from Judge John Aiso Street.
In Your Car will feature two concurrent sound projects broadcasting on local frequencies, Park Park Revolution and Ping Modulation.
Park Park Revolution will be a composition “played” by cars parked in the lot surrounding the Geffen Contemporary. NPR will divide the Geffen lot into four sections, with each assigned to its own broadcast frequency. Directed into parking spaces, drivers will be instructed to tune in their radios and turn up their volumes to create a quadraphonic matrix of sound.
Under the canopy located at the Geffen entrance, Ping Modulation will pay homage to artist Robert Rauschenberg’s Open Score. For this project, NPR will outfit ping-pong tables with contact microphones and sound processors; as visitors match off in games of table tennis, the noise of their play will be fed to radio broadcasts that will transform their participation into sound art.

Tidal Quad Modular Filter
Only 15-20 are build
The Tidal Quad is a 4-channel filterbank with extensive control and modulation possibilities. The filter can be used in High-/ Low-/ or Bandpass with an Envelope follower for each mode. There is also an LFO for each set of 2 Channels which allows complex modulations. Additionally it offers a Waveshaper for each channel. For friends of analog distortion this unit leaves no wish open.
* 4x HP/BP/LP - Filtermodule
* LFO Channel 1+2 (Cutoff)
* LFO Channel 3+4 (Cutoff)
* LFO each channel positive or negative switch
* 1 Waveshaper per Channel
* 4x Sidechain Input with Envelope Follower for Cutoff-Modulation
The resonant filter might be the most important effect in popular music these days. However if you want to insert a filter on multiple channels of your mixer and also would like to have a lot of knobs and modulation possibilities, there was no real solution. That's why Tidal Music Electronics announces it's four channel desktop multimode filter. You can switch the four individual resonant filters between Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass modus. Each filter can be modulated by an envelope follower, a LFO and an external CV. The envelope follower is specially designed to track percussive sounds without false triggering, a key feature when used with drumcomputers, grooveboxes or guitar.
Maximum Modulation:
Each filterbank has 4 VCFs, 4 Waveshapers, 4 Envelopefollowers and 2 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs). The filters are switchable between 3 modes, Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass. The Low- and Bandpass are 24 dB and the Highpass is 12 dB/Oct. The cutoff of each channel can be modulated by it's own Envelope follower which can be fed by a sidechain input or by the audiosignal itself. This option gives you the possibilities to create very funky filter-effects. Each LFO modulates 2 channels and every channel has it's own depth controller which can be set positive or negative. This can be used to generate cool stereo effects.
The Waveshaper
The waveshaper is one of the components which give the filterbank it's unique sound. It actually is a wavefolder which "folds" the tops of the waveform back instead of clipping. This sounds a bit like an overdrive but also has some characteristics of Frequency Modulation.
To give you a better idea what the waveshaper actually does we'll illustrate what happens with a simple sine wave using different ratio settings for each of the two shaper modes.
With the EBS UniChorus you can choose between low noise studio quality Chorus, Flange and Pitch Modulation effects. Analog Processing
The pedal is built with the best analog processing circuitry. This gives a smoother, warmer and fatter sounding chorus/flange effect, useful both for live and studio performances.
Manchester Cathedral.
St Mary Window, 1980.
By Antony Hollaway (1928-2000).
In 1963 the stained glass designer and craftsman Tony Hollaway was introduced to the Manchester architect, Harry Fairhurst. Eight years later, after they had worked together on commissions in Cheshire and Liverpool, Fairhurst sought Tony's advice about a plan for five large stained-glass windows in Manchester Cathedral.
Thus was Tony asked to design and make the first window, the St George in the inner south-west aisle. It was completed in 1973. Further windows followed in 1976 and 1980 and the final window, Revelation was installed in 1995.
Detail: The St Mary Window. Designed by Antony Hollaway, 1980. (This is in the Tower.)
The circle, which dominates the window, is the ancient Christian symbol of perfection. It is marred by the death of Jesus in the form of a shart of leight or the sword. This is a direct reference to the prohecy of Simeon to the Blessed Virgin at the time of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. (“A sword shall piee through your own Soul also”. Luke 2: 35).
This destoryed the perfection of the circle which is compensated for visually the the arcs of red and yellow. “And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven: a women clother with the sun, the moon under her feet …” (Revelation 12:1). These radii restore the symmetry required for formal and design purposes.
These are seven shades of blue within the circle, blue being a colour traditionally associated with St Mary the Virgin. The circle contains a serpent. This is a multiple image best understood under the following headings:
The circle placed upon these blocks of colour are letter forms both upper and lower case which are essentially to create a pattern. However, they may be re-assembled to read verses from the Magnificate: left to right. The act of re-assembling the letters is intended to concentrate the mine on the text which would not necessarily result from ‘easy reading’.
The above details are intended to present:
1. A suitable light modulation for this part of the building.
2. A relationship with the two adjoining windows.
3. A monumentality and dignity appropriate to the Architecture and to the special place of this window in the Scheme, and of the Virgin Mary among the Patron Saints of the Cathedral.
All the teaching elements of the window are subordinate to the formal design requirements expressed in (3).
Class 4 antennas such as Sentinel® from CommScope diminish the
risk of interference to the microwave link (see graph), providing a marked improvement of the
carrier-to-interference (C/I) ratio. This allows radios to operate at higher modulation levels for
longer, thereby increasing total traffic and, hence, revenue over the link.
Additionally, Class 4 antennas with their low side lobe levels allow better reuse of the same
frequency channel, thus requiring fewer channels. This more efficient use of spectrum offers
significant advantages: The repeated reuse of the same frequencies substantially reduces
spectrum costs; alternatively, where required, the spectrum freed by using Class 4 antennas
allows wider channels to be used, thus increasing capacity in the network.

Edison was a pioneer of sound recording and reproduction. He founded the Edison Phonograph Company in 1888 and began the production of the first phonograph cylinders.
The first mass-produced cylinders were made of brown wax. They wore out very quickly—often after being played only a few dozen times. Over time, the materials were improved: brown wax was replaced by hard black wax, which could withstand several hundred plays, and this was later replaced by Blue Amberol material.
- Edison Blank Record (1888 - 1906) - an unrecorded brown wax cylinder. Sound could be recorded directly using a phonograph, and after re-shaving the surface of the cylinder with an Edison Shaving Machine, it could be reused for recording multiple times.
- Edison Gold-Moulded Record (1902 - 1912) - a cylinder made of hard black wax, produced using a gold-coated master cylinder, with a playing time of about 2 minutes.
- Edison Amberol Record (1908 - 1912) - an improved technology with more grooves per inch and a playing time of approximately 4 minutes.
- Edison Blue Amberol Record (1912 - 1929) - offering the same playing time, but made of reinforced celluloid, which was significantly more durable.
- Edison Diamond Disc Record (1912 - 1929) - a 10-inch disc with approximately 5 minutes of playing time per side. Instead of the side-to-side movement used by modern records, these discs employed vertical (up-and-down) groove modulation and rotated at a speed of 80 RPM.

Tidal Quad Modular Filter
Only 15-20 are build
Back rear controls, in-outputs
The Tidal Quad is a 4-channel filterbank with extensive control and modulation possibilities. The filter can be used in High-/ Low-/ or Bandpass with an Envelope follower for each mode. There is also an LFO for each set of 2 Channels which allows complex modulations. Additionally it offers a Waveshaper for each channel. For friends of analog distortion this unit leaves no wish open.
* 4x HP/BP/LP - Filtermodule
* LFO Channel 1+2 (Cutoff)
* LFO Channel 3+4 (Cutoff)
* LFO each channel positive or negative switch
* 1 Waveshaper per Channel
* 4x Sidechain Input with Envelope Follower for Cutoff-Modulation
The resonant filter might be the most important effect in popular music these days. However if you want to insert a filter on multiple channels of your mixer and also would like to have a lot of knobs and modulation possibilities, there was no real solution. That's why Tidal Music Electronics announces it's four channel desktop multimode filter. You can switch the four individual resonant filters between Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass modus. Each filter can be modulated by an envelope follower, a LFO and an external CV. The envelope follower is specially designed to track percussive sounds without false triggering, a key feature when used with drumcomputers, grooveboxes or guitar.
Maximum Modulation:
Each filterbank has 4 VCFs, 4 Waveshapers, 4 Envelopefollowers and 2 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs). The filters are switchable between 3 modes, Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass. The Low- and Bandpass are 24 dB and the Highpass is 12 dB/Oct. The cutoff of each channel can be modulated by it's own Envelope follower which can be fed by a sidechain input or by the audiosignal itself. This option gives you the possibilities to create very funky filter-effects. Each LFO modulates 2 channels and every channel has it's own depth controller which can be set positive or negative. This can be used to generate cool stereo effects.
The Waveshaper
The waveshaper is one of the components which give the filterbank it's unique sound. It actually is a wavefolder which "folds" the tops of the waveform back instead of clipping. This sounds a bit like an overdrive but also has some characteristics of Frequency Modulation.
To give you a better idea what the waveshaper actually does we'll illustrate what happens with a simple sine wave using different ratio settings for each of the two shaper modes.
DSP-based drumcomputer. Very versatile. Offers 4 different algorithms to create drums with: an emulation of the Roland TR-series, Frequency Modulation, Physical Modelling and 12bit samples. Love it for being an allrounder.

Telemetry is the science of measuring something in one place and reporting the results in another.
A simple example of telemetry is the automobile speedometer, which measures the wheels' rotation and presents it in miles per hour on the dashboard.
Most telemetry used in missile testing is Radio Frequency (RF) transmitted from a missile to a ground receiver. NASA uses telemetry to keep tabs on the functioning of space equipment. Telemetry has been one of the most important data sources used for testing at WSMR.
This telemetry package was discovered in an old missile assembly building in the mid-1980s. Shipping documents indicate that it was shipped to Douglas Aircraft Company at White Sands Proving Ground in 1956 and 1957.
These Commutator/ Transmitter sets are believed to have been utilized in the Honest John rocket.
Especially noteworthy is the fact that this Commutator was a motor driven, mechanical device and the VCO/Transmitter package used vacuum tubes. Today's packages are completely solid state.
How did this circa-1957 telemetry package work?
COMMUTATOR
Analog voltages representing a number of functions such as elevon, rudder and seeker head positions pressure, and battery voltages were sequentially sampled and converted to a voltage pulse temperature, train (commutated data) and sent to a VCO
VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
The voltage pulse train (commutated data) was used to drive a VCO to vary the oscillator's center frequency (called FM or frequency modulation)
TRANSMITTER
This FM (frequency modulated) signal from the VCO was then sent to a RF Transmitter (radio frequency amplifier) that transmitted the data through an onboard antenna to a ground station receiver
RECEIVER
The ground station received this transmitted data signal and sent it through an FM discriminator that changed the data signal back to a voltage pulse train.
DECOMMUTATOR
The decommutator converted the voltage pulse train data back to the original set of analog functions that were then recorded on media such as strip charts or analog tapes.
