A Protocol Simulator for the Thunder and Lightning ATM Network
Software simulators have often been used to test and validate new protocols, but the high bandwidth of newly emerging ATM networks implies prohibitive memory requirements. This paper describes several simulation techniques we have devised as part of the Thunder and Lightning project to build 40 and 100 gigabit per second ATM networks.
متن کاملBrain development: Lightning is always seen, thunder always heard
Over a century ago, the psychologist William James proposed a thought experiment, and suggested the answer: if the eyes were forced to connect to the auditory centres of the brain, and the ears with the visual centres, we would “hear the lightning and see the thunder” [1]. James’ point was that the perceptual qualities of our sensations — what philosophers term qualia — have their origin in the...
متن کاملRealigning Thunder and Lightning: Temporal Adaptation to Spatiotemporally Distant Events
The brain is able to realign asynchronous signals that approximately coincide in both space and time. Given that many experience-based links between visual and auditory stimuli are established in the absence of spatiotemporal proximity, we investigated whether or not temporal realignment arises in these conditions. Participants received a 3-min exposure to visual and auditory stimuli that were ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Triggered Lightning Observed in Brazil
Several parameters of return-stroke current waveforms of triggered lightning are discussed and compared to results obtained in other places. The parameters presented in this paper, obtained for the first time in Brazil, are crucial in the lightning protection research. All these measurements were done with a sample rate of 100 ns, enabling us to study rise and decay times of the waveforms. Imag...
متن کاملMapping Thunder Sources by Inverting Acoustic and Electromagnetic Observations
We present a new method of locating current flow in lightning strikes by inversion of thunder recordings constrained by Lightning Mapping Array observations. First, radio frequency (RF) pulses are connected to reconstruct conductive channels created by leaders. Then, acoustic signals that would be produced by current flow through each channel are forward modeled. The recorded thunder is conside...
