![]() This piqued our interest, and the answer to how it was done came from PlayVectrex. On most computers that used a raster-scanning TV display they simply picked up the flying dot on the screen as it passed the end of the pen, but the Vectrex with its display not scanning all of the screen at once needed a different approach. ![]() Light pens were a popular accessory in the 8-bit computing days, offering a relatively inexpensive pointing device that gave your micro an even more futuristic feel. It’s an extremely simple device using an integrated light sensor with built-in Schmitt trigger, but for us the magic isn’t in the pen itself but in discovering how it worked with the Vectrex’s vector graphics. Sometimes the simplest of projects end up revealing the most interesting of things, as for example is the case with ’s light pen for the Vectrex console. And four buttons on the front panel let you store and play back your code, so you have space to stash your demos, and a sweet joystick with a custom keycap gives you control.Ĭontinue reading “2023 Hackaday Supercon Badge: Welcome To The Vectorscope” → Posted in cons, Featured, Interest, Slider Tagged 2023 Hackaday Supercon, 2023 Hackaday Superconference, badge, vector art, vector display, vectorscope You can upload your own repetitive waveforms to the onboard direct digital synth routine, but why stop there? We’ve left most of the processing power of the underlying RP2040 untouched, for you to use. If you’re not content with the four stock waveforms, you’re invited to write your own. MicroPython puts the “programming” in the programmable waveform generator. Of course we’re not leaving you code monkeys out in the cold. Make an audio filter and watch it work on the screen in front of your very eyes. ![]() Does this instantly suggest a curve tracer to you? Be our guest! Other forms of analog video-mangling? We want to see what you come up with. ![]() Voltages go out on one set of pins and come back in on the other.Īnd you get to play around with these voltages in through-hole space too, because we’ve included a very generous prototyping board for your analog explorations. You see, this isn’t an analog simulation – it’s the programmable equivalent of the real deal, courtesy of the AK4619 ADC/DAC. ![]() Off the bat, it’s configurable with the front panel controls, so you’re obviously invited to make Lissajous figures and store them in the program memories.Ĭombining the two halves lets you draw in voltages and time, but not until you connect them together, naturally. We’ve also tied an audio amplifier to the Y input that plays whatever waveform you’re watching.īut you don’t have to bring your own waveforms with you – the other half of the badge is an arbitrary programmable waveform generator that drives two channels. Most obvious is the vectorscope, which takes in voltages in the 0 V – 3 V range and plots them out in X-Y mode in glorious fake-phosphor effect on the lovely round IPS screen. Who doesn’t like the warm glow and lovely green fade of an old Tektronix tube scope? That’s what we’re after.Ĭonceptually, the badge is two separate devices in one. This year, the Supercon badge goes analog! (Or at least fakes it pretty convincingly.) Taking inspiration from the phosphor scopes of yesteryear, the 2023 Vectorscope badge is part analog audio playground, part art project, and all about prototyping. ![]()

An amazing activity called roller disco! and the Sunshine Band, Donna Summer, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. ![]() THEN Came the 1970sĪs mentioned, disco was rising, which meant boogie dancing all night long to tunes from bands like the Bee Gees, K.C. Friends getting together and going to the roller rink for weekend skating excursions and all the fun roller skating games became a go-to activity, and roller skates became an excellent choice for birthday and Christmas presents.Īdults and children alike enjoyed skating as a relaxing pastime as skaters found new places to practice roller skating and you could see people on skates everywhere. Families would work on their roller skating moves together and help each other through every fall and every new style they developed. Roller skating has been one of the most popular leisure activities around. There’s also another exhilarating team sport that involves skates roller derby, which women mainly play. Taking sport on wheels even further, some super-smart person had an idea to combine roller skates with hockey and invented roller hockey. Others preferred more physically demanding roller skating types like jam skating and speed skating. Some skaters enjoyed artistic roller skating, dance, figures, precision, or freestyle skating. The competition was tough, and there were many events around the sport, which had a range of options to suit skating enthusiasts of all ages. Roller skating took some practice, and it’s very physical, so it makes sense that it was known as a sport in earlier years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soft Serve Ice Cream – Soft serve ice cream is a style of ice cream where air is introduced during freezing, making it softer than traditional churned ice cream.

It later developed an industrialized economy in manufacturing. However, it received a significant number of German-speaking immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. The city developed as a river town for cargo shipping via steamboats, located at the crossroads of the Northern and Southern United States with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than East Coast cities in the same period. Throughout much of the 19th century, Cincinnati was among the top 10 U.S. With an estimated population of 2,265,051, it is Ohio's largest metropolitan area and the nation's 30th-largest, and with a city proper population of 309,317, Cincinnati is the third-most populous city in Ohio after Columbus and Cleveland, and 65th in the United States. The city is the economic and cultural hub of the Cincinnati metropolitan area. ![]() Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers, the latter of which marks the state line with Kentucky. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If none of that matters and all you want is to go without pedalling as would probably work just like it already is, once the battery is replaced or fixed. Meaning, how fast you want to go, on what kind of terrain, under what wind / etc conditions, and how quickly you'd like to get started from a stop, etc., and how far you need it to go under worst-case conditions at the highest speed. Then you can also define the amount of power you need in order to do the job you want under the conditions you have. Some are throttle-only, and some are throttle-controlled while you are pedalling, etc. Some are PAS-capable (where how you operate the pedals controls the motor), and there are a number of ways those work, from the most common on/off (if pedals are moving, full power at the chosen assist level is provided) to cadence or even torque-based control, where either how fast or how hard you are pedalling controls the amount of motor assist. Some have a display that shows you various info (speed, battery remaining, etc) lets you change some settings, and possibly have multiple levels of assist, etc. They just do what they do the way they were factory set to do it. Some are just a controller, no display, so they typically have no settings or anything you can change. You just need to define what you want the bike to do for you and how you want it to do that, so that you can pick a controller that has the right feature set. If it has three phase wires and 5 (or 6) small sensor wires (hall sensors, plus possibly a speed sensor wire) then you can use a sensored controller for better startups from a stop. If it just has three phase wires then you need a sensorless controller. Then you could use any typical brushless ebike / scooter controller for it. If it is a DD hubmotor it'll handle the extra power more easily without overheating as it has less layers for the heat to have to pass thru to get out of the motor (and it has less parts to break from the extra torque on them, no internal freewheel/clutch and gears). If it's a small geared hubmotor (most likely), it may handle that for short periods longer ones depends on how much cooling it gets and how well it is designed for the higher loads. So the bike may also go proportionally faster (depending on whether there is enough watts to overcome air resistance at that speed under the load and road / terrain / wind conditions you're riding in), with greater motor heating from the higher load on it. If the system was 36v before, then going to 48v (assuming a compatible non-speed-limited controller) means the motor will be driven proportionally faster at full throttle, with proportionally more watts (assuming the same current limit). If the system makes a "buzzing" noise inside the motor, it is probably not sinewave. If it is very very quiet, then the controller is possibly sinewave (but if it is as old as 2015, probably not). The controller and display, if not actually designed specifically for the Zuma, is likely to be custom-firmware and probably not compatible with anything else (probably not even other years of the same model). ![]() ![]() ![]() “The ability to save sounds can be helpful for parents who want to create a different environment for night sleep versus napping,” says Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director at What to Expect, who finds the feature to be easy and intuitive to use. In fact, you can create custom sound-and-light combinations and save baby’s favorite for later. This high-tech device is known for being incredibly customizable to best suit you and your baby. With more than 30,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, the Hatch Rest is a recurring favorite among parents, which explains why it won the Best Sleep Machine during the 2023 What to Expect Sleep Awards. You should also consider whether the machine is a battery-operated, plug-in or charging model, as that may impact your ability to take it anywhere.Įach of the baby sound machines on this list has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from What to Expect staff and community members for this criteria. There are some, however, that are more compact and better designed for travel. ![]() Portability: If you want a sound machine you can use both in baby’s room and on-the-go, you’ll be glad to know that most baby noise machines are pretty small.Some additional adjustable features to look for are timers and options to sync with an app. Adjustability: Parents appreciate being able to control the volume level and sound options, as well as color for sound machines that double as night lights.Any of these three options are gentle and calming for baby, but some babies (and parents) might prefer one over the other. “ soothing sounds block out other background noises in the household that could be disruptive,” Dr. Calming sound: Most baby sound machines offer at least one of three types of noise: White noise, which consists of high frequency sounds such as television static or a fan brown noise, which consists of low-frequency sounds like thunder and pink noise, a medium-frequency option like rain falling.Based on this information, we ensured that all the the sound machines selected met the following criteria: ![]() To help narrow down your choices, we utilized feedback from What to Expect staff and community members on which sound machines they loved best and what features they most appreciated. The best sound machines for babies play soft noise, and are adjustable and versatile. How we chose the best baby sound machines “White noise machines can be extremely useful in assisting babies with falling as well as staying asleep,” says Miami-based pediatrician Gary Kramer, M.D., a pediatrician in private practice in Coral Gables, Florida. So if you’re hoping to make his bedtime routine a little easier, you may want to add a baby sound machines to your registry. Not to mention those types of sound can help baby transition from living inside the relatively noisy womb to a quiet nursery. But a little white noise or the low hum of an air purifier can actually help him fall and stay asleep. Your natural instinct might be to keep baby’s nursery as quiet as possible when he is fast asleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 22 Patients who had a femoral neck fracture in 2015 were excluded to ensure the minimum 1-year follow-up period. The eligibility criteria were: 1) a first-time admission to acute care hospitals with the diagnostic code of femoral neck fracture (International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision ICD-10, S720) 2) at least a 3-year hip fracture-free period before the enrollment to exclude bilateral femoral neck fracture patients 3) treatment with HA or THA, and 4) age between 65 and 99 at the time of the admission due to the fracture. Incident femoral neck fracture cohort and all-cause mortality The purpose of this study is to compare the mortality rate, length of hospital stay and transfusion volume between HA and THA due to femoral neck fracture in two age groups: 1) patients aged 65–79 years and 2) those aged 80–99 years. Therefore, the nationwide representative claims data used in this study reflected all of the skills and experiences of the surgeons in our country and thus, prevented selection bias. 14, 18 In addition, there are gaps in guidelines on how to treat femoral neck fractures between surgeons and institutions. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) could not exclude selection bias due to small sample sizes. However, previous studies addressed the elderly patients as those older than 65 years, and there has been no study involving patients older than 80 years or comparing patients aged 80 years. 17īecause THA is associated with longer operation time and more bleeding than HA, 8 THA might lead to higher mortality compared to HA in the older elderly (> 80 years) pateints. Currently, with an increase in life expectancy, the size of population older than 80 years is growing. 16 Population aged > 65 years has been considered to be elderly. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 Thus, THA has been favored more than HA and is currently in increasing use. 5Ĭomparative studies of HA and THA in the 2010s reported superior clinical results and similar mortalities after THA compared to HA in these patient cohorts. 3 Even though an earlier study reported favorable results of HA, 4 groin pain and acetabular erosion appeared as concerns after the HA. 2 Deciding which type of arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemiarthroplasty (HA), to do in elderly femoral neck fracture patients has been a controversial issue. 1 In general, surgeons prefer internal fixation for patients aged 60 years or younger and arthroplasty for patients who are older than 65 years. Age is an important determining factor for the treatment method in femoral neck fractures. ![]() |
