Bag simulation on offset power ?

I needed to create a scheme with successive battery. Where one of the elements of the circuit is a digital circuit is powered from the "top" batteries, while the rest of the circuit is powered, or from the bottom or from both batteries (24V).
Faced with the problem when when you turn on the digital components in the power shifted relative to the ground - there was not the correct work simulator.
In particular:
1) 555 timer - started issuing negative voltage with respect to its "ground" (minus)
2) Logic elements refused to work if the ground is not connected to the negative (VSS) power is the second (upper coil), although the power supply circuit of the connection to it to the top of the battery (V2)
PS: Sorry for my English.
      Schema files and images attached.

Thank you very much for your reply.
With regard to paragraph 2, did not finish, or rather while searching for the cause malfunction circuit (555 timer) tried all the settings and forgot to return to the correct. Sorry.
However, with regard to paragraph 1 (555 timer) do not believe that I was wrong.
As an example, propose to consider the more complicated diagram that shows what I mean.
The scheme consists of 2 parts of digital and analog. According to the two generators each with its own power supply.
In the oscilloscope XSC2 - shows the correct behavior: yellow signal has a lower threshold voltage above GND offset by the supply voltage V1
In the oscilloscope XSC1 - not shown the correct behavior: yellow signal has a lower threshold voltage equal to the ground, without offset to a power supply voltage to V1.

  • Non-Apple power adapters

    I was wondering if people have had luck with other power adapters (that are usually cheaper) or reconditioned adapters on ebay.
    I'm on my third power cord in 3 years . . . first one was replaced by Apple, not the second . . so I bought a Kensington (on the recommendation of a Mac technician) and it bit the dust in less than a year and I cannot find my receipt (I clung to it for ages . . but just moved . . )
    I hate to spend the $80 on a Mac adapter.

    I have a kensington adapter that cost more than $80 I think - because it has attachments for Air and Auto power as well as AC that I carry in my bag - the factory original power adapter stays plugged in behind the desk at home.

  • Client reconnection to conventional cluster taking about 9 minutes

    Hi,
    I've set up a 3 node OpenMq (4.4) conventional cluster and am having trouble with client reconnections when I simulate a halt on a node.
    I have two threads within the same process, sending to a pre-configured destination and replying using a temporary queue. Each have a JMS connection to the same home broker. If I bring the home broker down with either the imqcmd command or with a ctrl+c, the goodbye messages are sent and the client connections are immediately reestablished by the connection factory with the next broker. But... if I remove the broker from the cluster by simulating a BSOD, power failure, etc, no goodbye messages are sent (obviously) and the connected clients are left 'connected' to the dead broker and only reconnect to another broker after about 9 minutes.
    I read in the docs that the 'imqPingInterval' property can be used to test the client connections but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. After I've cut the power to the broker's virtual machine, I'm seeing the ping messages in the logs, e.g.:
    FINEST: Outbound Packet:PING(54):296-127.0.1.1(bd:ea:13:9b:ae:a)-51155-1267024410861;BrokerAddress=10.59.148.9:7676(1082), ConnectionID=4090718717872600064, ReconnectEnabled: true, IsConnectedToHABroker: falseAt this point, telnet cannot connect to 10.59.148.9:7676 so it's definitely gone.
    Finally after about 9 minutes, the following shows up in the logs:

    Handling a machine failure seems like a pretty standard scenario for a cluster so I'm sure there's something I've mis-configured.
    Is there something I can do to fix this?
    If not, the only other alternatives I see are to either:
    1) Try the HA custer. But I'm not sure this will fix the problem if the client is waiting on a dead socket.
    2) Lower the message ack to something like 10 seconds and reconnect to the cluster for a retry every time we get a JMSException. But this is obviously not ideal either.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Nigel,
    The producer is configured to send messages every 5 seconds and the consumer is sitting with a message listener on the queue.
    The producer send is failing each time with the following trace...

  • I have an Anker Astro 3 charger with a 9V and a 12V setting. Which should I use to recharge my new Ipad (3)?

    I have an Anker Astro 3 charger with a 9V and a 12V setting. Which setting should I use for my new (3) Ipad?

    Hi there,
    You use only the 5 volt USB ports. Not the 9 volt and Not the 12 volt one either. The voltage must be 5 volts. 9&12 volt ports will damage your device. Below is a link to the Anker Astro 3. Check out the link. Take a look at the first picture of the Anker Astro 3. It's the photo that shows two USB ports to the left of center of the battery. Anker always labels its ports. The ones I have are labeled on the back of the battery where each port is. The product description says that there are 2 5 volt USB ports for a total output of 2 amps. So you would use one of those for your IPad 3. Hope this helps you.

  • Older iBook G3 Has Bad Smell That Fills Up Living Room When Lid Opened

    Folks, a client dropped off an older iBook G3 Friday and it was placed into a large plastic bag, along with its power supply and was closed. Yesterday I opened the lid and plugged it in, went outside to water the garden and after several minutes when I returned, the whole living roomed smelled like BO, or like someone who had been drunk for a week and passed out without a bath. I know the lady who uses it and she is a very tidy person, so she wouldn't have caused it
    Granted, this is an older laptop and I always clean all laptops, the keyboard, screen, mousepad, etc with several special cloths and cleaners. My iBook G4 that I clean at least twice a week has no aroma, odors at all, always smells clean and fresh like any laptop should.
    The computer had major problems and after 2 hours of troubleshooting, I just erased the HD, installed Panther on a 9GB HD and then a big kernal panic message and frozen cursor. Smell is still there. Could the HD be causing this odor, it is the org and quite ready to upgrade.
    I have heard from others about this same odor problems. Any suggestions on how I can safely clean it up with sprays or whatever? We were going to give the laptop to a friend as a gift when it's fixed until she can afford to buy a new ProBook
    Thanks SteveB

    Seriously, I just got back from the Apple Store after waiting 2 hours for "genius" support. Apple refuses to acknowledge this problem -- the tech says unless he hears it from an Apple engineer it could be "anything". I asked him to smell the iBook and he agreed it smelled bad, but he couldn't confirm exactly what was causing it.
    I pointed him to this post and the numerous others on Apple's Discussions and Support forums, but this is just "anecdotal".
    I think if you have this many people publicly suffering a problem, there are undoubtedly 10 times that many suffering in silence or who dumped it on someone without telling them about the problem (I mean how many people want to buy a USED SMELLY IBOOK?) Yeah, it's a huge joke on the forums... 31,000 hits on google alone for "ibook smelly".
    How many people have to report this problem or take their ibooks in before someone at Apple DOES DIAGNOSE THE REAL CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM?!?! Look, I'll gladly donate my laptop, take it, ship it back to Cupertino, have the hardware engineers pour over it for 2 months. But you won't take me up on the offer or anyone else for that matter, will you?
    Apple Support, I think you are full of it. You know exactly what this problem is and for product liability reasons you have decided to treat your customers like stupid sheep and simply refuse to "confirm or deny" any problem exists.
    I don't appreciate it and it will weigh in my mind heavily as I decide my next computer purchase. I can't stand Vista, but Ubuntu is looking very good these days and it doesn't SMELL like sweaty armpits!
    (I realize a lot of other iBook owners don't have this problem, which is wonderful, because it really is a great little notebook. But I'm sure you would feel the same way if it didn't smell so sweet.)

  • IMac -- Compatible with UPS Square Wave Voltage

    I have been reading of the incompatibility of UPS square wave outputs of UPS devices and the new energy star 4 or 5 computers. The new iMac is energy star-5 compliant. The power supply output of a UPS will not work with new computers.
    Does anyone have any information on this issue?

    I’ve been trying to find the same answers for my 24”, intel,Core 2 Duo extrerme, 2.8GHXZ, iMac (mid 2007) that Apple Engineering says has Active Power Factor Correction power supply.
    All I want from an UPS is decent time to unmount my external H.D., save my working data, and shut down the iMac properly. After the better part of two weeks I believeI have found the answer for my situation. Disclimer: I am not a tech nor experienced in electrical matters but just a guy who hung in there trying to make sense out of many conflicting bits of information. This is not meant to tell you what you should or should not do. Just what I believe I’ve found and what I have done about it
    after talking to lots of tech people. Corrections/updates welcomed!
    1. Apparently, there are some recent models of computers that have an updated power supply commonly called Power Factor Correction power supply (PFC), more specifically called Active Power Factor Correction Power Supply. As I understand it they were previously found mostly in the higher end of computers and not commonly found in the type that the average guy would use. Now Apple Engineering has told me via Apple Care that my 2007 iMac has an Active Power Factor Correction power (akaPFC) supply and that all wide range voltage supplies are PFC. I take that to also mean late model iMacs and most likely Mac Pros have this type of power supply.
    Mine has it and it is a 2007 iMac, I’m not sure when they started using it in iMacs.
    2. So what ? Well, if you tell an UPS mfg. your computer has an Active Power Factor Correction power supply or even if you drop the word “Active” (and use PFC) they will commonly say you need an UPS battery that sends electricity via a Pure Sine Wave to the computer. They are very costly units, easily $500 and up.
    3. What is an Active Power Factor Correction power supply, aka Power Factor Correction supply (PFC)? Paraphrasing and editing a statement from a battery mfg support page: Although a computer power supply draws only a fraction of its full capacity during its steady state (normal) operation, Power Factor Correction (PFC) supplies have the potential to draw their full capacity ( which I assume is the stated watts on the computers data sheet), instantly when passing battery power to the computer’s Power Factor Correction power supply.
    So what? well, the UPS may experience up to 8ms transfer time during this period which is just long enough to remove power from the computer’s Power Factor Correction supply which subjects the UPS to the maximum power draw of computer’s Power Factor Correction supply (PFC). This could result in a potential UPS overload or dropped power load ( computer restart, shut down ) because the UPS does not have the ability to furnish the amount of demanded power (watts).
    4. I solved my problem of what kind and reasonable cost UPS would work with my Intel iMac after talking with APC , local Apple Authorized repair & CyperPower. First I determined the max watts draw of my iMac x 3 ( to allow sufficient excess watts when in an instant max watts demand from the Computer’s Active Power Factor Correction power supply ) and added the max watts draw of my external H.D. and FIOS Router to determine the total UPS watts that would be required to aid in the UPS selection process.
    I purchased a CyberPower UPS model CP1500AVRLCD 900W , which successfully sent Simulated Sine Wave power just fine to my computer’s Active Power Factor Correction power supply when testing it two times. No need for costly Pure Sine Wave UPS. Cyberpower says this unit will work with the iMac but not work with the Mac “Tower” / Mac Pro and I suspect it has to due to the huge difference between them in maximum watts that can be instantly drawn when the Active Power Factor Correction power supply instantly demands the full watts power from the UPS.
    APC UPS model BR 1200 (also a non pure Sine Wave UPS) is recommended by a local Apple Authorized Repair facility (vendor) to his customers as working with the current iMacs.
    I personally think the difference in working and not working is getting the right amount of excess watts in the UPS, can’t think of any other reason it works. I really don’t care as long as it works.

  • Buying a new tower

    Hi everybody,
    I currently own a MacBookPro17 and I'm very pleased with but soon there'll be things I need to do faster:
    1. Work with raw files from Canon 5dII in Aperture and Photoshop.
    2. Edit , cc , and vfx with fcp, color and motion 1080p uncompressed.
    At this point I'm looking at a mac pro desktop and I'd like to hear your opinions about the configuration I could chose.
    1. Is 4 core enough to get a decent rendering speed and if it is, how difficult is to upgrade later to a second processor? Can I just buy one and install it by myself like the memory? How expensive?
    2. One ATI? Two? Or NVidia? I'll use 2 NEC 24.
    3. 4Gb memory enough?
    4. Portability? Is it possible to take it with me for jobs flying to Europe? Any special case/bag? Any recommended power adaptor?
    Thx much.

    Hello vladvaidianu,
    1. I can't give you direct answer on the question of working with RAW files in high end apps. I do not have a camera which produces RAW image format. But I do a lot of work converting large video files which may be a good "ball park" parallel. My Mac Pro (2007) 2.66 Mhz quad core processes even 45 minute-length video files in no more than 20 minutes. So the current models (or those which may come out in 2009) should be quite adequate.
    2. See #1.
    3. I have 5 GB RAM installed (from reputable after-market source) and this amount of RAM seems quite adequate for running apps like Photoshop and Studio. It is certainly adequate for "usual daily" use. But I would like to have 8 GB - filling all 8 RAM slots. RAM is very cheap right now so it's your choice.
    4. I've seen many discussions about what is the best video card. I'm using the one provided as "stock" for the 2007 models and haven't had problems. But monitor setup is "basic" - only one 24-inch Samsung SyncMaster and I do not play video games. Search around- on video gaming forums and see what is most often recommended to get a better idea.
    5. Portability: Obviously, a Mac Pro weighs ~40 lbs without the monitor. That's 16-17 kg. A secure carrying "case" would have to be very protective of such an investment and would of course not allow using the Mac during transit. If portability is your priority - you should think about going for the best MacBook Pro available and stick with that. I'm sure you already know that you must also carry an adaptor for the European electric supply.
    Having both a Mac Pro and a top MacBook is the "normal" practice for business travelers. That way, once home, you can transfer your projects from the MacBook to your Mac Pro for fastest / best results.
    Good luck,

    hi there i have a xperia m2 on ee,i updated the os about a week ago then 3 days ago it started switching on or off, blocking my data and phone services and displaying variuos apps have stopped then finally xperia dashboard has stopped, reset the phone back to normal then it started all over again but during all this the rear case of the phone was getting hot while on charge but now it wont charge or switch on and is not recognised by my pc, ive tried to do a simulated battery disconnect power button vol down and nothing happens could it possibly be the battery packed in, i hope to god it is because ive got so much stuff on the phone and im disabled so rely on the **bleep** thing!!!! please somebody help me

    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
    How to backup?
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • MBP and Phototshop

    I'm currently a PC user and will be purchasing an apple soon. I write books and use Word, Photoshop, and other programs for illustrations and photos. When the books are nearly complete, they are about 2 gigs, which causes my PC to freeze with those **** "Send" "Don't Send" errors.
    How does the MBP perform under heavy load with large files, and will it handle heavy Photoshop use?
    Would there be any difference between the MBP and a Powerbook?

    The MBP operates very smoothly, but no version of any Adobe Creative Suite software is out yet that is universal (will run on Intel & Powerbook processors). You can run the current versions of Adobe CS on a MBP, but it is run using rosetta which is a simulator imitating a Power PC processor ultimately causing some slowing in the program. Apple says that when running a Power PC based program on an Intel Mac will work thanks to rosetta, the program will possibly run slower that it should. I run Adobe CS 1 on my MBP using rosetta and the slowness that is warned about using rosetta is not really noticable, it actually processed smoother that my 2.6GHz HP with 1GB RAM.
    A plus with the intel based macs is that you can install Windows XP on it, and it will run natively, then you could ultimately install your windows copy of Photoshop.
    My advice is that if you don't wanna run Windows on it, then wait for Adobe to come out with the a Universal version of Adobe CS.

  • Accelerometer Signal to Detect Shaft Imbalance

    Good day every one,
    I've been trying to find a way to detect imbalancing in a shaft fixed to a motor in a simple educational package, the problem is that vibration is not my field. I wonder if there is any one out there who can help me, i guess i dont need much but some hints. I do appreciate your efforts in advance.
    I've installed an accelerometer on one of the bearings and am facing the following problems,
    1- I read that I probably have DC oftset and I have to get rid of it. I am not able to do that, I viewed NI example about that but couldnt do it , also i couldnt deal with the FIR filter. any help about that please?
    2- My FFT plot is not fine !! .. I am getting peaks everywhere .. and those peaks dont move with the speed of the shaft .. ( I knew they should )
    3- I cant understand the frequency resolution thing and how it affects my measurements .
    4- what's the frequency at which i would note the imbalance ?!
    I am getting imbalance myself please help
    Moh

    Thanks for the questions. 
    1) is the accelerometer powered?  Most accels, IEPE or ICP, require a 24V power supply with 2 to 4ma of current.  If the accelerometer is not powered, then you will get a crazy FFT similar to what you describe. 
    2) the DC offset comes from the power used by the accel.  Most vibration acquisition boards (aka - usb-9233) provide an AC coupling circuit that removes the DC.  THese boards also provide the power.  If you are powering externally, your DAQ board needs to have +/- 24V range to see the AC signal (vibration) riding on top of the power (DC offset = power source for accel).  You can use a simple voltage divider to reduce the voltage if you need.  Once you have the signal digitized, the easiet method of removing DC, is to capture enough data in one block of acquisition that you have several rotations (10 or more).  You can use the statistical median then to find your DC value, and simply subtract this from your original array of data.  This is less sophisticated than the high pass filter, but it works well if you have enough cycles (rotations) in your data block. 
    3) frequency resolution is the number of points in your FFT plot.  It is also know as delta-f, or the distance in frequency of each data point in your FFT.  Better resolution means smaller delta-f.  You can reduce the delta-F by collecting more data (longer data acquisition time).
    4) unbalance is a one times rotation vibration, it will appear in the FFT at running speed.  You will need to know the speed of your machine to find the unbalance peak.  Do you have a a tachometer?

  • Offset problem in simulating current and voltage phase relation of parallel rlc circuit, Is it a bug ?

     tested multisim for Parallel RLC Circuit with voltage source as in 
    http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/parallel-circuit.html
    But the current flows through the inductance L has DC component as in the picture attached (the red sine wave).  Is it  a bug ?, please tell me how to correct it.

    Hi there,
    As strange as this may sound, this is not a bug. OK, this sounds really funny, but I am totally serious, and I am going to explain why:
    In a circuit energy must be conserved.
    An inductor is a purely reactive component, that is, it does not dissipate any power.
    When simulation starts, Multisim assumes the inductor current to be 0, which may seem reasonable. The voltage across the inductor is also 0 at this point. This is the initial condition.
    The voltage across the inductor increases, and thus, the current increases. The current keeps increasing during the first 2 quadrants of the sinusoidal phase output.
    The current never decreases until the voltage drop is negative.
    But by the time an entire cycle is over, the current is back to 0. This makes sense as energy is conserved and the inductor is not absorbing any energy.
    OK. Now look at what happened. During the whole cycle, the current was positive only! The current increased during the first half of the cycle and returned to 0 during the second half. This is because of the fluke of initial conditions! In fact, a good circuit simulator will maintain the DC offset for a long duration. The DC offset may drift because of rounding errors and the like.
    This will never be observed in real life as real inductors have winding resistance and other problems.
    OK, so, if you would like to see no DC offset, do the following:
    Run your simulation
    Record the DC offset that you want to eliminate
    Stop your simulation
    Double click the offending inductor in the Multisim schematic
    Click on the Value tab
    Check the Initial conditions box under Additional SPICE simulation parameters
    Enter the negative of the DC offset that you recorded in step 2 into the box right next to it
    Start your simulation. Did your offset go away? Or did it double?
    If your offset doubled, take away the sign from the DC offset that you entered in step 7. I bet you know why.
    It took me a while to figure this one out. Hope that helps!

  • Will PFC power supplies work with SIMULATED sine wave inputs

    Will PFC power supplies work with a SIMULATED sine wave input from a UPS unit?

    Not sure whether you really meant "PPC" and have never heard of a PFC power supply, but if your question is whether a Mac PPC computer will run on a UPS, then the answer is definitely "yes" as my machine has shown twice in the past 12 months and several times in the past on the G5 tower and with a G3 B&W.
    I haven't dragged the old analog scope off the shelf to see what the UPS output really looks like, but I suspect it is no dirtier than the mains power in my neighborhood.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Power Management - Machine Wake Up Time is Randomly Offset

    We have recently migrated to SCCM 2012 R2 from SCCM 2007 R3. Since moving the clients to the SCCM 2012 R2 server I have noticed that the Power Management Wakeup Timer is not working as it used to.
    Power Management is configured as follows:
    Peak Hours: 5:30AM - 6:00PM
    Wakeup Time: 5:30AM
    Previously, all power management configured clients would wakeup at around 5:30AM, some a minute or so before, some a minute or so after. Now they are on SCCM 2012 R2, I'm finding that they are waking up anywhere from 5:30AM to 7:30AM. At first
    I thought this was due to the Deadline Randomization settings, so I set "Disable deadline randomization" to Yes on the Computer Agent. However, the machines are still waking up at random times. To ensure the change was propagated properly,
    I changed the Wakeup Time by 1 min to 5:29AM and updated policy on a few test machines, but no joy.
    Does anyone know why this is occurring?
    Thanks
    Kate

    Hi,
    This setting determines whether the client uses an activation delay of up to two hours to install required software updates and required applications when the deadline is reached. By default, the activation delay is disabled.
    If required software updates and required applications must install without delay when the configured deadline is reached, select
    Yes for this setting.
    For more infomation, please review the link below:

  • Power factor simulation and measurement

    I need to simulate in LabView 7.1 an application that simulates an AC waveform (voltage and current) like if I take them directly from a facility and with this info calculate the Power Factor, Reactive, Active and Apparent power. all this for a single and three phase system.
    I have little experience on Labview and all help will be appreciate it.
