  • Hugo Gernsback and Radio Magazines: an Influential Intersection in Broadcast History
    Journal of Radio Studies/Volume 9, No. 2, 2002 Hugo Gernsback and Radio Magazines: An Influential Intersection in Broadcast History Keith Massie and Stephen D. Perry Hugo Gernsback's contributions to the devetopment of early radio have gone largely unheralded. This article concentrates on how his role as the most influentiat editor in the 1920s radio press inftuenced earty radio experimentation, regutation, growth, and poputarization. His pubtications promoted radio among hobbyists and novices, but also encouraged experimenters and innovators. He often described ways in which radio could be improved down to the publication of technical diagrams. He built his own radio stations where he tested many of the innovations his magazine promoted. Gernsback's greatest personal satisfaction derived from encouraging broad experimentation that enhanced scientific development. The story of broadcasting involves an amalgam of people who influ- enced its development and direction. Names like Guglielmo Marconi, David Sarnoff, William Paley, Lee De Forest, Reginald Fessenden, Frank Conrad, Alexander Popov, and others have become well known for their work in inventing, developing, and promoting pieces of the puzzle that became the medium of radio. Others have remained no more than historical footnotes. One person who has been little more than a foot- note in broadcasting but whose fame lives on in another area is Hugo Gernsback, the father of science fiction and namesake of the Hugo Award for science fiction writing.^ Yet he may have been one of the most influential figures in promoting radio experimentation and adop- tion by amateur hobbyists in the 1910s and 1920s, and in campaigning for regulatory directions for radio in the days before the establishment of the Federal Radio Commission.

The low-power ionization discharge plasma is localized (2 cmϫ0.5 cmϫ0.1 cm) and essentially free of arc channels. A Teflon coated rolling cylindrical electrode and dielectric coated ground plate are essential to the source’s operation and allow flat test samples to be readily exposed to the plasma.

  • Feasibility Study on the Use of Fast Camera and Recording in Time-Domain to Characterize ESD
    MATEC Web of Conferences 247, 00028 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201824700028 FESE 2018 Feasibility study on the use of fast camera and recording in time-domain to characterize ESD Szymon Ptak1,*, Albert Smalcerz1, Piotr Ostrowski1 1Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute, 16 Czerniakowska St., 00-701 Warsaw, Poland Abstract. Fire and explosion protection in industrial conditions requires multidimensional approach. Usually the risk of hazardous zone creation is unavoidable, if the combustible material is processed. Therefore controlling of potential ignition sources is introduced. One of most popular sources of ignition is electrostatic discharge. Depending on the type of the discharge, as well as on exact discharge conditions, energy released might reach hundreds or even thousands of mJ, being able to ignite most of gaseous or dust-air hazardous mixtures. A dedicated methodology was created to record the discharge with fast camera with maximum speed of 1M fps and with the oscilloscope up to 25 GS/s. Dedicated test stand allows to obtain high voltage to create the conditions for electrostatic discharge. The aim of presented research was to analyze the course of electrostatic spark discharge in laboratory conditions and to place the outcomes in the context of explosion safety in the industrial conditions. The course of electrostatic discharge is dependent on various conditions: the polarity, distance between the electrodes, shape of electrodes, grounding conditions, etc. Understanding of the phenomenon is crucial from the point of view of explosion safety. 1 Introduction In every industrial process the safety of people, equipment and environment must be ensured. Despite the safety of the process itself, the risk of fire and/or explosion should be always taken into consideration.

Wertenbaker writes that if a writer attempts to capture the sublime through too-rigorously objective a lens scientifiction in his view being the only modern literature truly capable of approaching the sublime , then scientifiction could lose much of its power:. With a little practise one will become proficient in moving the head at the same ratio of speed as the ordinary reproducer arm is moved from the outside of the record towards the inside.
