The Cardiff large-signal model uses Fourier series coefficient functions that vary with the magnitude of the large signal(s) as the PHD model describing functions. The X-parameter model will be seen as the first-order Taylor series approximation of the PHD model describing functions around a Large Signal Operating Point (LSOP) of the device under test. The mathematical formulation of the X-parameter and Cardiff models will be discussed in order to provide a theoretical ground for comparing their robustness. Each model formulates the describing functions of the general PHD model differently. Two popular implementations of PHD models that can be found in the literature are the X-parameter and Cardiff models. A PHD model will be seen as a set of describing functions that predict the response of the Device Under Test (DUT) for any given non-linear periodic continuous-wave inputs that have a specific fundamental frequency. This analysis will be performed by deriving the PHD modeling framework as a simplification of the Volterra series kernel functions under the assumption that the power transistor is operating under continuous periodic multi-harmonic voltage and current signals in a stable circuit. Specifically, the PHD framework cannot necessarily predict the response of a broadband aperiodic signal. This thesis describes the capabilities of the PHD modeling framework and the theoretical type of behaviour that it is capable of predicting. These models promise a good prediction of the device behaviour under multi-harmonic periodic continuous wave inputs. In recent years, a certain class of large signal frequency-dependent black-box behavioural modeling techniques known as Poly-Harmonic Distortion (PHD) models has been devised to mimic the non-linear unmatched RF transistor. The following sections give more detail about the device structure and performance characteristics, and compare these transistors to conventional superjunction (SJ) MOSFETs.The design of power amplifiers within a circuit simulator requires a good non-linear model that accurately predicts the electormagnetic behaviour of the power transistor. Infineon’s CoolGaN™ is made with a self-clamping p-gate structure that additionally solves the problem of gate Over Voltage (OV) sensitivity found in reverse-Schottky p-gate GaN transistors manufactured by others. By adding a p-type gate, however, the threshold voltage is increased from a negative to a positive voltage, thus making an enhancement-mode (normally off) transistor. The lateral transistor structure features very low gate and output charge, fast switching, and no body diode or reverse recovery charge.Īs a result of these characteristics, CoolGaN™ transistors can be used to design very high-efficiency and high-frequency power-conversion circuits, especially in topologies like half-bridge where conventional Si MOSFETs do not perform well because of their very large reverse recovery charge.Ī native GaN transistor has a depletion-mode gate, meaning it has a normally on characteristic, making it unsuitable for power electronic applications by itself. The active region of the transistor is fabricated using GaN and AlGaN semiconductor materials grown on top of a Si substrate. Qualified for standard grade applications according to JEDECĬoolGaN™ is a high-performance transistor technology for power conversion in the voltage range up to 600V. Enhancement mode transistor – normally OFF switch.Using the IGT60R190D1S can: improve system efficiency improve power density enable higher operating frequency reduce system costs and reduce electromagnetic interference. It addresses datacom and server and telecom power supplies, as well as adapter, charger, wireless charging and numerous other applications that demand highest efficiency or power density. The gallium nitride CoolGaN™ 600V series is qualified according to a comprehensive GaN-tailored qualification well beyond existing standards. The IGT60R190D1S CoolGaN™ 600V e-mode power transistor from Infineon delivers fast turn-on and turn-off speed, minimum switching losses and enables simple half bridge topologies with highest efficiency.

Printers not marked "EXPERIMENTAL" generally will not change between releases, but notice will be given and if possible back compatibility will be provided. New printers supported in this release: Note that support for all printers marked "EXPERIMENTAL" (untested) or "PRELIMINARY" (minimally tested but untuned) is subject to change without notice. There are also some changes for other Epson printers. Latest stable release of version 5.2This release offers support for more than 80 additional printers from Canon, Epson, and Kodak. If you want to get more out of your printer, or are desperately seeking a driver, Gutenprint may well be the solution. Many users have found it useful for finally being able to clean their Epson print heads when no default utility was previously available.Īlthough Gutenprint comes with an installer, it can be difficult to remove manually which is why you'll probably need a separate installer (which comes with the program) and is also available here. Not only this, but Gutenprint provides many drivers for printers that are usually otherwise unsupported on Mac OS X, especially Epsons. Gutenprint could be of particular interest to those using cheaper inkjet printers as the developers have focused on producing drivers which can squeeze enough quality out of them to print at nearly photographic output quality. It’s a pause for reflection on the nothingness of oneself, on the magnitude of G-d’s creations, of which we only see and understand a negligible part. In short, it’s a sort of self-nullification that’s all too rare in today’s self-centered world. It’s overwhelming, eye-opening, soul-activating, breath-taking, awesome, truly beyond. How does one describe the immensity of something like this? The true IMMENSITY of the country and its natural landscape.įor a country just the size of New Jersey, there is a staggering spectrum of biodiversity and natural wonders from the Hermon Mountain and thick forests up north, wetlands hosting untold bird species, multi-colored deserts in the south reminiscent of Arizona and Nevada and Utah, the Dead Sea (the lowest place on earth), plus the coastal plain, Jerusalem and its many hills, Eilat on the Red Sea and so on. One thing you don’t realize as you drive throughout Southern Israel is… Now, I’ve been to the Grand Canyon a couple times and that was an absolutely flooring experience.īut somehow, this was just as impressive, if not more so. Next morning, the first stop was the rim of the massive Mitzpe Ramon crater. Sleep was phenomenal after such a dinner. We went back two days later for lunch of chebureki (dough pockets with meat). The owners, Shlomo and his wife, are DAgestani, otherwise known as “Mountain Jews.” They make everything themselves, right in front of your eyes. And of course, the first stop (dinner) was a Kavkazi (Caucasian) restaurant that we’ve been missing for about 2 years. We arrived late and exhausted, without even a hotel reservation in place. Of course, as we were driving west, we saw a small dirigible hanging in the sky above a massive tract of land that’s surrounded by barbed wire, cameras, etc.Īfter thinking it was a drone above an electrical plant, it slowly dawned on me that this is the Negev Nuclear Research Center that all of Israel’s enemies desperately want to target. Then, we headed southwest through the mountains as darkness fell toward Mitzpe Ramon, a town on the edge of a massive erosion crater in the middle of the Negev desert.Īs darkness descended, we saw massive industrial mineral extraction and electrical plants, among other things, near Dimona. I spoke about this subject with Bill Banham on his top-rated HR Chat Podcast… Work communication is a nightmare of alphabet soup, genderist, misogynist crap, out-of-place sports and war metaphors and people who frankly… f-ing suck at communicating.Īs HR people, we’re always on the front lines of having to deal with this language and psychology deficit. Ok, let’s call out the elephant in the conference room. This was one of the best discussions I’ve ever had on a podcast - enjoy it! Essentially, the more familiar something is, the more we begin to resonate with it - oftentimes forming attachments between a particular idea and our own identity and beliefs… In addition to religion, he uses neuroscience to support this belief as well, by highlighting how certain neurons in our brains will light up when we come into contact with a familiar person, place, or even word. “What you say, what you formulate becomes a thing,” Kruman explained, “so when we speak we create a reality.” To him, this signifies one important fact: our words ultimately create our reality. Calling on his Jewish heritage, he supports this through references to the Old Testament, where in the Hebrew language, “word” and “thing” are labeled by the same word. Kruman begins by emphasizing the power that words have, not just on others, but also on how we come to perceive ourselves.

So a terminal at different points on the circle gives the value of sine and cosine functions at that point. This will be studied in the next exercise. Find the terminal point on the unit circle determined by 3/4 radians. Use exact values, not decimal approximations. Question: Find the terminal point on the unit circle determined by 5 pi/4 radians. It demonstrates all the radians and circles. This problem has been solved Youll get a detailed solution from a subject matter expert that helps you learn core concepts. Since the circumference of the unit circle is \(2\pi\), it is not surprising that fractional parts of \(\pi\) and the integer multiples of these fractional parts of \(\pi\) can be located on the unit circle. A unit circle chart shows the position of all the points along the unit circle that are made when we divide the circle into eight and twelve parts. The unit circle is divided into four main terminals, that are for 90\circ, 180\circ, 270\circ, 360\circ 90,180,270,360, which are also used to express the phases of the functional waves. \right)\).\) are wrapped to either to the point \((0, 1)\) or \((0, -1)\).

Software Control The monitor features an Ethernet in and an Ethernet out port, and you set up the unit using the USB 2.0 port. You can see where the overall exposure is, and if you are exposing the brighter areas of your image with enough detail. Histogram : The Histogram view lets you see where the pixels are in your video, and how they are distributed from black to white. The stereo phase meter plots left and right audio as an XY scope display, and out of phase audio can be seen as a left or right leaning display. You can monitor the levels of all 16 channels at the same time or monitor the stereo phase of SDI audio pairs. Audio Views : allows you to monitor 16 channels of audio, checking the levels and the audio phase. The YUV Parade display shows the YUV component video as it is transmitted down the SDI cable. RGB Parade lets you check for illegal colors, plotting them against an IRE Scale. Parade : You can choose to display either RGB or YUV Parade. Vectorscope : allows you to accurately measure colors in the video signal, and it is a valuable tool when matching cameras, or when you need to align the hue on the output of decks. Video or Scope View You can select from either the video feed or one of six scope views of the video signal: Waveform : displays the luminance component of the video signal on an IRE scale. Each monitor features one 6G input and one reclocked loop through 6G output. The inputs are auto sensing/switching to match the supported input video format. Monitors SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI Signals The Smartscope Duo 4K allows you to monitor SD, HD, 2K, and 4K (3840 x 2160) video. The unit also automatically flips the image if you need to install the unit upside down. The unit takes up three rack height units, but is less than two inches deep (including the connector depth), which makes it well suited for use in production trucks where space is at a premium. The Smartscope Duo 4K also incorporates a Tally display around the border of the image, which works with industry standard Tally systems. This allows you to adjust the monitors brightness and color as well as select the monitors display mode - video or scope view. You use the USB connector to initialize the monitor on your network, after that you can control the monitors using the supplied software via the Ethernet connector. You can choose to select to display either the input video or one of six scope displays, while the input video passes through the monitor to downstream devices. The inputs are auto sensing/selecting so you don't have to worry about matching the input format, the monitor will display any supported format that you feed it. It features two 8" monitors each with a loop through SDI input and output.

Abridge’s enterprise-focused documentation solutions seamlessly structure and summarize information from any medical conversation, making it easier for systems to reduce provider burnout while also increasing patient satisfaction. Led by Wittington Ventures, the round also had participation from all existing investors including Union Square Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Pillar Venture Capital, and UPMC Enterprises, and new investors including Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, and Whistler Capital. "Our work with Astrata to date is only the beginning of understanding how NLP can help us achieve this goal.Abridge, the leader in medical conversation AI, announced an oversubscribed $12.5 Million Series A-1. "As a 40-hospital health system serving millions of patients across three states, UPMC is always looking for ways to work with our providers and UPMC Health Plan to elevate the quality of care our patients receive," added Tami Minnier, chief quality officer at UPMC. "This partnership facilitates a more rapid and accurate flow of thorough, meaningful data between our quality team and our providers." "Over the last two years, UPMC Health Plan abstractors found they can work up to 38 times faster with the implementation of Astrata's NLP-assisted tools," said Diane Holder, president and CEO of UPMC Health Plan. UPMC also continues its work with the Pittsburgh Health Data Alliance, building innovative new machine models for an array of clinical use cases. But Astrata's NLP tools could read clinical notes and identify plan members in need of intervention much earlier.Ī UPMC pilot that started before the pandemic showed UPMC Health Plan members signing up for screenings at higher rates after the implementation of Astrata's technology – possibly because it allowed plan representatives to contact members more quickly.Īstrata, which aims increase its workforce by 30% over the coming year, joins a wide array of other spinoffs incubated at UPMC over recent years, including telehealth startup Abridge, LTPAC-focused Curavi ( which merged this past year with two other companies to form Arkos Health) and Via Oncology, which was acquired by Elsevier in 2018. Identifying candidates for screenings such as these is often delayed significantly because it relies on claims data. Its initial focus will be on a specific HEDIS measure that identifies older women with bone fractures who've not yet received appropriate imaging and intervention for osteoporosis. The new spinoff is also piloting a real-time NLP monitoring platform with UPMC and its health plan, officials say. A wealth of additional information is available in medical charts, but it goes uncaptured because the process to extract it is labor-intensive, expensive and unscalable to entire populations." "Traditionally, health insurers use claims information to evaluate health care quality against HEDIS measures," said Dr. UPMC says the goal of Astrata is to help the insurance industry better make use of measured quality improvement programs as the push toward value-based care continues.ĭata scientists at the new company use cloud-based NLP to build tools that enable payers to gain better understanding from unstructured EHR data – paving the way toward more accurate assessments of quality and population health measurements against the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set.įor many key HEDIS measures, UPMC notes, healthcare organizations are only able to determine quality rates manually, and only once at the end of the year.Īstrata's technology – built and validated in partnership with the 3.9 million member UPMC Health Plan – can enable year-round monitoring and quality improvement efforts at scale. UPMC Enterprises announced this week the launch of Astrata, the newest company incubated in UPMC Enterprises, the Pittsburgh health system's innovation and commercialization wing.Īstrata uses advanced analytics and artificial intelligence – natural language processing, especially – to help health insurers to more efficiently analyze unstructured clinical notes. I recommend laminating them if you make your own because you’ll likely be playing this game all semester. Or, if your students are more advanced, you can use the ready-made Apples to Apples game. You can make the cards yourself, or get the students to help you out. This is the ultimate vocabulary game for ESL students because it deals with meanings and contexts. It’s a perfect time-filler for those last couple of minutes of dead time at the end of a class that you need to fill. If you’re looking for a quick warm-up or time-killer, this is your activity! The only requirement is that students are able to read a sentence with reasonable ease.

Keep on reading for the ell vocabulary games you might want to use in your classes. They’re guaranteed to get your students talking, thinking and most important of all: remembering and knowing how to use those words they’ve been studying. Vocabulary doesn’t have to be tedious if you use some games with your students. It was certainly less interesting than something like a conversation, or even writing, but I made it work! I just used lots of activities to make it as fun as possible for the students. I was assigned “vocabulary” to teach each group of students for two hours a day for two weeks. I remember back to when I taught in a Korean university and I signed up to work at a winter camp. Teaching English vocabulary is traditionally quite boring for the students as well as the teacher. Let’s get into the best ELL vocabulary games to try out with your students today. Table cells contain the header information and/or data and they can span multiple columns and rows. In addition to that, column properties may be declared at the start of the table definition using the COLGROUP and COL elements. If you want to provide more structural information, you can also group columns. When we print the long HTML tables, the head and foot information is usually displayed on each page containing the table. User agents may exploit the head/body/foot division to support scrolling of body sections independently of the head and foot sections. Table rows may be grouped into a head, foot, and body sections, (via the THEAD, TFOOT and TBODY elements). See the Pen HTML Table & CSS Table by Ahmad Awais ( on CodePen. Sometimes, a more detailed description is provided via the summary attribute for the benefit of people using speech or Braille-based user agents. HTML tables usually come with a short description of their purpose. The best thing to do would be simply not to use tables for layout but if you absolutely insist on that, use the ARIA role=”presentation” on the table to indicate it as such. Not only would that be bad for accessibility, but the SEO would suffer as well because the primary content wouldn’t be in the spotlight.Ī part of that issue could be solved with the semantic tags within the HTML table tags but that would also mean using double the HTML. In that case, a table would dictate that the table comes first in source order. Now to make the point even stronger, imagine a “sidebar on the left” layout. In cases like that, screen readers don’t always work as you’d want them to. With the tables in HTML, the order of how the site is presented is determined by visual choices instead of the accessibility choices. One part of accessibility is screen readers which read tables from top to bottom, left to right. The general rule is that the websites should be accessible. The thing is that table elements semantically describe tabular data and using them for other purposes is a breach of semantic duty. There are also some other inappropriate CSS table uses that should be avoided if possible.įor example, you should never use tables for layout. While some data looks great in tables, there are things that shouldn’t be arranged that way simply because it wouldn’t make any sense. Tables semantically indicate tabular data and they are the best choice for displaying data of this kind. There is a chance you have heard that the tables were unsemantic. An HTML table is a great way to display things such as financial data, calendars, pricing, feature comparison, the nutrition facts information panel, bowling scores, and many other tabular data. When to Use TablesĪ table in HTML makes a lot of sense when you want to organize data that would look best in a spreadsheet. The HTML table is used for arranging data (such as text, images, links etc.) into the tabular design – basically, rows and columns. So how to make a table in HTML? When to use it and why? What are good HTML table examples? Today, we are going to answer these questions and more to help you understand everything there is to know about HTML tables. They consist of rows and columns and are often used on websites for the effective displaying of tabular data. HTML tables are used for displaying data that make sense in spreadsheet software. So much that we wrote this lengthy article about them to help out those of you who are beginners and want to learn about HTML tables. Judging by the fact that we created wpDataTables, it’s no secret that we like tables.
