How to measure the exact count of your podcast downloads

Hi,
While their are many ways to measure podcast preformance (e.g. Feedburner account and reviewing server logs), the only way to know accurately how many episodes being downloaded is to measure the daily bandwidth consumption of your MP3 or MP4 folder.
Look for the section titled "Average data transferred per day" within the your ISP server logs control panel, and divide that number by the average size of your episodes to determine your download count.
If you don't want to estimate your episode lengths, do like I do and standardize your podcasts to 1.5, 5.00, 10.00, 15.00, and 20.00 minutes long.
The above is an overview; for the details just ask.

Hi Mike,
I never said my technique would state how many listeners one has. This technique is for knowing how many episodes are being downloaded.
Using Analog WWW logfile analysis, I set up the "File Size Report" section to subdivide download requests into size categories that correlate to my episode sizes (e.g. 10MBs). From there it's simply a matter of looking at the server requests for each category to the know how many downloads I had during any twenty-four hour period.
Btw: I verify results by comparing total episode throughput with "Average data transferred per day."

How to measure the pulse duration of a TTL signal using AI?

Hi there.
I would like to know how to measure the pulse duration of a TTL signal using an Analog input.
These TTL signals comes from an ultrasonic sensor's output. The pulse width of the signal is
proportional to the distance of the object the sensor detected.
I have tried using the example "Measure Pulse Width.vi" which uses a counter to measure the
pulse duration instead. It provides me with correct results.
However, i will like to know how can i do it using the AI instead.
I tried it by using the example "Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi" which i modified by including a
timing and transistion measurement vi. Pulse duration was selected as the output. A graph indicator was also added at the output of the pulse duration to monitor the incoming TTL signals.
However, everytime the TTL signals was detected on the graph indicator, the numeric indicator always produce a "zero" reading.
I have attached my vi for your reference.
Can anybody advice me what i have done wrongly?
Regard.

Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clkv1.vi ‏190 KB

Hi Paul,
Today i tried using 2 different methods to read the pulse duration of my sensor signal.
Both methods use "Acq&Graph Voltage-IntClk" vi as a guide.
Method1:
Add a filter vi(lowpass/bandpass) and a timing and transition measurements vi.
Pulse duration is selected as the output. With some numeric conversion, a centimeter
reading indicator was created. However, the reading always remains as "zero"
Method2:
Add a Mask and Limit Testing vi and a timing and transition measurements vi.
By adjusting my upper and lower limits, i manage to "filter" a single pulse out from the actual signal.
However, like the earlier case, the cm reading still remains at "zero"
I have attached both the methods resulted waveforms for your reference.
Are there anything that you can advice on?
Regard.

How to measure the baseline of a noisy, pulsed signal

Hi
I am measuring the torque exerted by a large motor on a shaft using a load cell and lever arm. The shaft runs at approx 150 rpm. I have attached a drawing that shows the output I get. This is a test rig.
I have written some code that measures the maximum peak out of a group of approx 5 peaks and writes this to a shift register. This gives me an idea of the maximum torque "spike".
I also wish to measure the baseline torque (due to the bearings in the machine). Even when highly filtered (my noise filter is set to 49Hz) the signal exhibits this noise which is probably due to vibration in the system. The signal is zeroed when the motor is not running.
Does anyone have an ideas on how to measure the "baseline" torque? The large spike in torque prevents me from doing a running average. Can anyone think of a way of averaging just the noisy part of the signal to get an average value? I aim to to subtract the average baseline torque from the peak value to get an idea of the torque due to the event which causes
the spike.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

drawing of torque signal.gif ‏26 KB

Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying. However, I might have to modify my method for measuring the peaks if I choose to implement your idea. I have taken a screenshot of my "peak finder" code and attached it.
Bascially, the reset terminal is wired to a timer which outputs a pulse every few seconds. This resets the vi (a standard NI one I think) and sets the peak magnitude back to zero. This way, I am windowing the signal and measuring the maximum peak in every window. This is what I need to do.
So I could use a logical filter to feed data to the running average only if;
the amplitude of the signal is less than a certain threshold
and if the current value has similar low peaks either side of it
How would you construct the code to delay the evaluation so that the values in front and behind of the current data point can be analysed?
thanks again

How to measure the performance of sql query?

I am using Oracle 9i... You might want to start with a feature of SQL*Plus: The AUTOTRACE (TRACEONLY) option which executes your statement, fetches all records (if there is something to fetch) and shows you some basic statistics information, which include the number of logical I/Os performed, number of sorts etc.
This gives you an indication of the effectiveness of your statement, so that can check how many logical I/Os (and physical reads) had to be performed.
Note however that there are more things to consider, as you've already mentioned: The CPU bit is not included in these statistics, and the work performed by SQL workareas (e.g. by hash joins) is also credited only very limited (number of sorts), but e.g. it doesn't cover any writes to temporary segments due to sort or hash operations spilling to disk etc.
You can use the following approach to get a deeper understanding of the operations performed by each row source:
alter session set statistics_level=all;
alter session set timed_statistics = true;
select /* findme */ ... <your query here>
SELECT
 SUBSTR(LPAD(' ',DEPTH - 1)||OPERATION||' '||OBJECT_NAME,1,40) OPERATION,
 OBJECT_NAME,
 CARDINALITY,
 LAST_OUTPUT_ROWS,
 LAST_CR_BUFFER_GETS,
 LAST_DISK_READS,
 LAST_DISK_WRITES,
FROM V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL P,
 (SELECT *
 FROM (SELECT *
 FROM V$SQL
 WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE '%findme%'
 AND SQL_TEXT NOT LIKE '%V$SQL%'
 AND PARSING_USER_ID = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_USERID')
 ORDER BY LAST_LOAD_TIME DESC)
 WHERE ROWNUM < 2) S
WHERE S.HASH_VALUE = P.HASH_VALUE
 AND S.CHILD_NUMBER = P.CHILD_NUMBER
ORDER BY ID
/Check the V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL view for more statistics available. In 10g there is a convenient function DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR which can show this information with a single call, but in 9i you need to do it yourself.
Note that "statistics_level=all" adds a significant overhead to the processing, so use with care and only when required:

How to find the exact user exit for our requirement?

Dear Mr. keerthi,
can you please explain me how to find the exact user exit for our requirement?

Hi sandip
There is more than one method in which you can check for user-exits.The following method is used very often.
How to find the exact user-exit for your requirement.
1. You can check the user exists using transaction SE85.
2. Repository Information System -> Enhancements -> Customer exits
3. You can search the user-exits by package name.
4. Double click on each exit name to check the function module exits.
The procedure to find the package name.
Execute transaction SE93
Enter the tcode of the transaction for which you want to check the user exit.
Example: if you want to find the user-exit for purchase orders while changing, enter ME22n and press display.
You will get to see the package name
But you need to confirm that the user exit will get triggered at the appropriate event.
( example: you might want some validations to be done ON SAVE of a purchase order)
Checking if the user-exit is getting triggered or not.
1. Open the user exit function module (that you have got in step 4) in Tcode SE37.
2. Click on where used button. In the pop up that immediately appears choose only programs .
3. You will get a list of programs. Double click on the program name.
4. You will get the list of location where this function module user exit is used.
5. Place session break points at each of these location ( at each CALL FUNCTION statement)
6. Now go to your transaction ( say change purchase order tcode:Me22n) and check if the user exit is getting triggered on appropriate event.

Prasad

How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
Hope this helps.

no keffa it is a cop out from nokia

the n95 battery is atrocious
dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
your talking about nokia phones specifically
the networks are not to blame
they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

How to measure the task instance size

I am trying to understand how to measure the custom task instnace size that was occupied in the cache repository. Is there a way to obtain the size (in KB s ) in lighthouse 4.1 +sp5. Please help.

Hi, Luiz!
In order to estimate the instance size, you will have to sum up all the instance variables size.
From the practical prospective it may be difficult to use the algorithm in cases when your instance variables are not simple types.
For already existing instances, you can look the instance size in the database:
An instance is just a java object, that is serialized as a byte[] and stored in the engine database, PPROCINSTANCE table, column INSTDATA.
You can write a simple program (either java or SQL plus) that would read the instance from the BLOB and measure the size.
And yes, with large instances you can have performance problems.

You mean row count? Add another column, click on the fx button and type RCOUNT(1).
If you want just the total you can make it MAX(RCOUNT(1)), hide this column and then add a Narrative View after your report and enter "Total Number of Records: @n" where "n" represents what order your column is from the left side.

How to Reduce the Gate count of a Design(RTL gate count)

Hi All,
I am a newbie to FPGA design and implemetation. I have a design (H.264 Encoder) and implemented on zynq zc702 (which is having Artix7 FPGA fabric). Now we need to implement it on zynq zc706 with reduced gate count ( because we are going to add some more blocks like rate control etc.,)
How to reduce the gate count ?
Please guide me regarding this query.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Try to reduce the overall control set. Registers in the slice shares the same control set so if the number of registers in the control set do not divide cleanly, some registers may go unused.
Make sure correct DSP and BRAM blocks are getting inferred by the tool
Try to map FSM in BRAM.
Use Synthesis and Implementation level strategies.
See if any module is having high utilization and can be reduced by changing RTL: report_utilization -hierarchical -file utilization.txt
Thanks,

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.
