Speed Of Light Square Kilometer
1,069 wordsDo you think its possible to find aliens in your lifetime? The chances that an extraterrestrial civilization would actually come to the Earth are slim. However, if they did the best way to find extraterrestrial life is not by space exploration, but by electronic signals. Signals can carry words, numbers, and pictures cheaply and at the speed of light. The amount of time and energy required for the travel would be enormous. The amount of energy required to accelerate a spacecraft weighing several...

Twisted Pair Signal Processing
1,954 words... nd widths that can be greater than 1 MHz, much greater than the 3000 Hz or so allocated for voice transmission. There are several types of xDSL signal in commercial use today. Each signal type is implemented in circuitry with accompanying software, called a transceiver. The transceiver design includes the encoding or modulation scheme along with decoding or demodulation applied to convert serial binary data streams into a form suitable for transmission through twisted wire pairs. The transce...

Fiber Optic Cable Fiber Optics
1,581 wordsFiber optics is a cable that is quickly replacing out-dated copper wires. Fiber optics is based on a concept known as total internal reflection. It can transmit video, sound, or data in either analog or digital form. Compared to copper wires it can transmit thousands of times more data (slide 2). Some of its general uses are telecommunications, computing, and medicine. The very first fiber was made in 1870 by the British physicist John Tyndal. In this experiment that he showed to the Royal Socie...

Plasma Membrane Passive Transport
834 wordsBeing one of the most important components of a cell, the plasma membrane, or cell membrane plays a huge role in regulating how things get in and out of cells. The plasma membranes unique structure enables it to let only certain molecules pass through the cell. This ability is called selective permeability. Most of the plasma membrane in most cells is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins either embedded into it or sticking out from either side of the membrane. The heads of the phospho...

Radio Telescopes Radio Signals
1,153 wordsSETI, or the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, is the scientific search for signals, primarily radio signals, from outer space. It is based on the belief that we will hear extraterrestrials before we see. The organizations work has been going on ever since the 1960 s. The main tools the scientists / searchers use are radio telescopes and listening equipment. To understand this organization, one must first look at its rocky history, and its unique discoveries. The Beginning of SETI is re...

2,792 wordsFourier Analysis Fourier analysis of spatial and temporal visual stimuli has become common in the last 35 years. For many people interested in vision but not trained in mathematics this causes some confusion. The use of these Fourier methods does not mean that the visual system performs a Fourier analysis. At present it should be understood that this approach is a convenient way to analyze visual stimuli. Jean Baptiste Fourier, a mathematician, showed that any repetitive waveform can be broken d...

4,129 wordsSome of Fiber Optics Thesis: Some of the important features of the fiber optics that we are interested are discussed below. Now a days we are using copper wires as they are the most cost effective and reliable interconnect in parallel machines. However as machines grow more powerful, wire density becomes critical making fiber possible alternatives because of their small wire size. Fiber optics are used mainly to use effectively its high bandwidth. On a single fiber lots of information / data can...
