Plumbing noise measurement and isolation

Noise Reduction and Isolation

Fig. 10.01. Utility power transformers are typically grounded to earth ground near the transformer, and again at the input to the electrical junction box or first switching panel. The switching panel, in turn, may be connected to a rod driven into the earth to ensure that it too is at true ground potential. Control Panel Grounding CONTROLLING NOISE Controlling noise in measurement systems is vi...

Basket, Flat Plumbing and Flat Plumbing Basket Numbers of Links

We define the basket number, the flat plumbing number and the flat plumbing basket number of a link. Then we provide some upperbounds for these plumbing numbers by using Seifert’s algorithm. We study the relation between these plumbing numbers and the genera of links.

Plumbing and Other Utilities

Plumbing is a new mechanism for interprocess communication in Plan 9, specifically the passing of messages between interactive programs as part of the user interface. Although plumbing shares some properties with familiar notions such as cut and paste, it offers a more general data exchange mechanism without imposing a particular user interface. The core of the plumbing system is a program call...

NOISE: Measurement and Generation

It is difficult to improve something unless we are able to measure it. Measurement of noise in receivers does not seem to be clearly understood by many amateurs, so I will attempt to explain the concepts and clarify the techniques, and to descrive the standard “measure of merit” for receiver noise performance: “noise figure.” Most important, I will describe how to build your own noise generator...
