time to hold up the building and let the ground move underneath then the large displacements‚ story drift and hence damage to the super structure will be greatly reduced. Base isolators reduce the structural response by filtering the seismic excitation and by dissipating energy‚ thereby reducing the energy that need to be dissipated by structure. The ground accelerations induce large displacements at the isolator level and minimize the acceleration and story drift of super structure. The

CONCEPT OF WIRELESS ELECTRICITY (Wi-Tricity) Our forefathers marveled at the invention of glowing light bulbs by Thomas Edison in 1879. However‚ to us 21st centurions‚ the light bulb is nothing out of the ordinary. When computers‚ cell phones‚ laptops‚ iPods‚ etc. were invented our antennas tweaked. Now this is what you call invention! However‚ as time’s progressing we are getting used to these devices. In fact‚ charging all these appliances has become so very cumbersome. Each appliance has its

Design‚ Construction‚ and Testing of an Inductive Pulsed-Power Supply for a Small Railgun A. Sitzman‚ D. Surls‚ and J. Mallick Institute for Advanced Technology‚ The University of Texas at Austin Abstract—Advances in high-power-density batteries have rekindled interest in using inductive store as a pulse compression system. Although these batteries are considered very power dense‚ they lack over an order of magnitude of power density to drive a deployable electric gun. However‚ one can add

Abstract: This experiment synthesized H-Gly-Phe-OH dipeptide using “Fmoc chemistry”. The first part of experiment was the synthesis of L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride. The methyl ester can be synthesised by reaction of thionyl chloride‚ SOCl2 and dry methanol with L-phenylalanine under reflux condition. The peptide bond was formed later in the experiment‚ where HBTU‚ DiPEA and a solution of Fmoc-Gly-OH in DMF were added to a solution of L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride in DMF

Signal Integrity Considerations for High Speed Digital Hardware Design White Paper Issue: 01‚ 11th November 2002 Mick Grant‚ Design Engineer Abstract As system clock frequencies and rise times increase‚ signal integrity design considerations are becoming ever more important. Unfortunately many Digital Designers may not recognise the importance of signal integrity issues and problems may not be identified until it is too late. This paper presents the most common design issues affecting signal
