Guitar String Frequency Analysis using MATLAB
zhlédnutí 45Před 3 měsíci
In this video we take a look at the frequency makeup of the sound of a guitar string when plucked. We start with plucking a guitar string, recording it using a TASCAM hand-held digital recorder, then transfer the sound file to the computer (WAV format file). The file is then imported into MATLAB, and a one second chunk of the data is extracted (we do this so that the FFT frequency bins will be ...
Joe's Tech Notes: Adding Sine Waves vs. Random Noise Signals
zhlédnutí 28Před 3 měsíci
In this video we cover the basics of how sine waves (of the same frequency and phase) add, and also how random noise signals add. The goal is to show that when you add coherent signals (the sine waves) they add directly. When noise signals are added, the result DOES go up in value but NOT like it does with coherent signals. Two identical sine waves added will result in a 6 dB gain (relative to ...

However, like most malls in the country, traffic to it has greatly decreased. I'd estimate that only half the stores are open. It was a weekday around 1pm, but there were very few people in the mall.

    I owned a house with a detached garage. House windows had a reflective coating. Vinyl siding. In the afternoons the sun would reflect off the windows onto the garage. Warped the vinyl siding on the garage. Warped it bad. Never got around to fixing it, but my fix would have been some kind of trellis to hide it. I wasn't about to replace 5 windows. I hope those folks don't get their homes hit by the death rays. They should be far enough away though but that's the first thing I thought of. The garage was about 12 feet away. I use Bing as my search engine. Do a image search for 'warped vinyl siding'. All the tan ones? I could have uploaded a bunch of them. You'll notice the melt is diagonal. That's because of the tracking of the sun.

    It is really sad what happened to this mill, all because our manufacturing went overseas for cheaper labor. This mill was once hustle and bustling up until the early 1980's as Capehart a Wakefern owned company and then it fell silent and eventually fell apart. Floor after floor falling down into the lower floor. There is no saving any part of this building and it will be a challenge carting all those bricks and wood away. It could have been saved years ago, but like all mills, they are left to decay and collapse upon themselves, a total shame.

    Fun fact: around 1908 there was a new railroad around the areas of Wilberham/Monson/Palmer/beltchertown etc being put in. It would have made transport and economy boom even faster than before but it was halted and the rail road was abandoned. The pilons that you see go through out three rivers with no bridge connected are not bridges taken down, but were never put up. The owner of the railroad was coming home from London and took a ship called the Titanic. When he died the railroad stopped. and the project and materials were abandoned.

If not, my guess it's going to sit there empty for a long time.
