Per your question on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress - yep, your handling of the Transhumanism vandal was perfect. I'm always impressed by how quickly trash like this (and subtler stuff too) gets spotted and removed. Keep up the good work. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:34, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hello, I answered your question regarding Fourier transforms and uncertainty on my talk page. Cheers, AxelBoldt 13:31, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi Omegatron - nice work on the gyrator. Would you mind telling me what software you used in drawing the circuit diagram...? Suggestion: Let's rename R₁ > R₀, because that's basically given, and R₂ > R, leaving essentially C and R to play with. --Palapala 09:24, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I used Klunky schematic editor. It is online at

http://www.qsl.net/wd9eyb/klunky/framed.html

Then I took the screenshot and edited it a bit to make it prettier. I also drew a bunch of pictures for opamp configurations, so I can make an article on that, but I left them on my work computer. What do you mean that R₀ is given? - Omegatron

Oh you mean that the inductor you would want to simulate would already have the R₁ defined? How about we name it R₁ --> R_L, like a real inductor would have it labeled, and then the other R₂ --> R. By the way, one of those links has the opamp inputs inverted. Do you know if it makes a difference? It seems like it would... - Omegatron

Thanks for the Klunky link. Noticed you changed the text according to the diagram. -- Yes, the Romanian page has the inputs of the opamp the other way around; I'm not an expert, this link shows it the way you did it, I'm a bit on a loss here. --Palapala 20:59, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I will do the calculations sometime tomorrow and double check. And maybe send that site an email if I can. - Omegatron

In thermionic emission you added that it was initially discovered by Professor Guthrie in 1873. I did a little searching and the only person I could find was physicist Frederick Guthrie in London who lived from 1833-1886, and did research on heat, magnetism and electricity. I assumed he was the right guy. Then I found Scottish physicist Peter Guthrie Tait (1831-1901) and found he did work on thermoelectricity. Which is right? I assume it is Peter, but I already assumed too much, so I will ask the source and leave it undefined for now... - Omegatron

I wish I knew which Guthrie it was, the source I used did not specify the full name (unfortunately) but I assumed it to be a last name. -- RTC 06:42, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I will keep searching... - Omegatron

thanks

thanks for figuring out how to force png rendering without altering appearence! Perl 23:04, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations. That seems to be fairly general... --Palapala 17:19, 2004 Mar 10 (UTC)

Hi, since you're a DSP engineer, perhaps you would be interested in helping out with the Electronics wiki-textbook. http://wikibooks.org/wiki/Electronics

Yes, I would love to. - Omegatron 20:48, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)

Thermioic Emission/Dots

Omegatron: I wasn't able to get over to the physics library before it closed that day; I'll try again if I get the change.

The Dot project is intended to create maps for the Ram-bot generated articles. See Siler City, North Carolina for an example. The maps on my user page are just intended to track the progress of the project. - Seth Ilys 17:13, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
