    Playing with Willans Formulae and Analytic Step Function Approximations (and actual step functions)

    Change dt = 1/(nsignal-1) to dt = 2/(nsignal-1), and f += 2 to f += 1 and you will see a cyclic ramp.

    Voyager 1 Communicating Intelligibly Again

    A guy fueling a commercial jet in Canada colluded pounds and kilograms. The jet ran out fuel in flight and mnaged to gllide to a safe landing at a closed runway.

    Moved Another step towards answering the question of life's origins - religion

    If you believe 'god did it' then that pretty much ends discussion. That is the Christian 'theory of everything'.

    Playing with Willans Formulae and Analytic Step Function Approximations (and actual step functions)

    Thanks, but I have not really contributed to your thesis, it is your baby. I was never interested in research and publishing, I just liked building thing and solving problems. A worker bee engineer.

    Playing with Willans Formulae and Analytic Step Function Approximations (and actual step functions)

    Arbitrary waveform generators can synthesize any waveform. Python has sound processing functions. There is audio oscilloscope and, waveform generator, and spectrum analyzer software They take data froand output to the sound input and outputs. I had it wrong. arcsin(sin()) does not equal...

    Playing with Willans Formulae and Analytic Step Function Approximations (and actual step functions)

    If you have a signal generator and a spectrum or signal analyzer at work you can put square and triangle waves into the analyzer and see the spectrum. One experiment is worth a thousand words. If not you can put the signals you generate in code into the Numpy FFT and see the spectrum.

    Persons named in the Gospels

    As in the old crime drams there should be a disclaimer in the goggles. 'The stories you are about to read are true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent'

    Is it possible to create racially or ethnically targeted bioweapons?

    A politically sensitive question that brings in race and bias. I don't know much about genetics, but I have heard some medications have dosages based on race. So there are differences. If anyone is working on such a weapon I'd think it would be China. Of course we would look at as well. Part...

    Playing with Willans Formulae and Analytic Step Function Approximations (and actual step functions)

    Jarhyn, As long as you are enjoying yourself I think hat is all that really matters. As to triangle waves and Fourier series. Put a sine wave into an audio amp and you hear a single tone. Combine two sines and you hear a sound. Put the combined signal through a filter that rejects one of the...

    Taylor Swift Pisses Off The Christians

    You do not have to be profound to get a large following of morons. Christians or otherwise blind followers are blind worshiping followers. Pop culture is replacing religion for better or for worse. As to the OP, Christians opposing music goes back to the 50s. Burning vinyl records. Black...

    Moved Another step towards answering the question of life's origins - religion

    I wreathed an interview with the pope. Completely and utterly self assured in his belief he is a moral authority over the world. True believers will never consider anything contrary.

    Oh my god!! So to speak. Humans cause cancer? Prominent Christians have claimed natural disasters are punishment by god for homosexuality. Do humans cause earthquakes?
