![]() As one might expect, the mathematical functions describing each of these flowmeter types is unique! Weirs are variable-pressure, variable-area flowmeters. Rotameters are constant-pressure, variable-area flowmeters. Note : Orifice plates are variable-pressure, constant-area flowmeters. This effectively increases the cross-sectional area of the weir’s “throat” as a taller stream of liquid exits the notch of the weir (Note). As liquid flow is increased even more, a greater pressure (head) will be generated upstream of the weir, forcing the liquid level to rise. The height of liquid above the crest of a weir is analogous to the pressure differential generated by an orifice plate. This height of liquid upstream of the weir represents a hydrostatic pressure, much the same as liquid heights in piezometer tubes represent pressures in a liquid flowstream through an enclosed pipe. In order for this to happen, the level of the liquid upstream of the weir must rise above the weir’s crest height. As liquid begins to flow through the channel, it must spill over the crest of the weir in order to get past the weir and continue downstream in the channel. The following photograph shows water flowing through a Cippoletti weir made of 1/4 inch steel plate:Īt a condition of zero flow through the channel, the liquid level will be at or below the crest (lowest point on the opening) of the weir. A V-notch weir has a triangular notch, customarily measuring either 60 or 90 degrees. A Cippoletti weir is much like a rectangular weir, except that the vertical sides of the notch have a 4:1 slope (rise of 4, run of 1 approximately a 14 degree angle from vertical). Three styles of weir are shown in the following illustration the rectangular, Cippoletti, and V-notch:Ī rectangular weir has a notch of simple rectangular shape, as the name implies. The first form of open-channel flowmeter is the weir, which is nothing more than a dam obstructing passage of liquid through the channel. ![]() ![]() By measuring this liquid level rise, it is possible to infer the rate of liquid flow past the obstruction. If an obstruction is placed within a channel, any liquid flowing through the channel must rise on the upstream side of the obstruction. A very different style of variable-area flow meter is used extensively to measure flow rate through open channels, such as irrigation ditches. ![]()

![]() ![]() To control these lights with your phone, the kit includes a separate hub (or "gateway," as Ikea calls it). It's small, can turn the bulb on and off, and controls colors and brightness. Controlling light bulbs from your phone has its perks, but a remote gives you more flexibility. Plus, it includes something you won't find with most of the competition: a remote. Its Tradfri smart bulb kit is an affordable and easy way to swap the lights in your home. It's only natural to see furniture giant Ikea wade into the smart home market. ![]() Works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa (The company says the requirement was there to determine the country the device was in for geo-specific services.) However, this option is a bit more expensive per bulb than the Cync, and it's harder to find from popular stores like Target. Nooie says app permissions mentioned in reviews have also been tweaked, and the app no longer requires permission to make calls. It has been updated since then, and I had no problems pairing or controlling either device. I touched the bulb after it had been on for a while-no burned fingers here.Īmazon reviews from around 2019 for both the bulb and the plug (which I also like) note issues with the app. It's also designed to not overheat, thanks to "special cooling materials," according to Nooie's website. It has regular on/off scheduling, as well as wake-up and bedtime schedules that can dim or brighten the bulb. Its white spectrum could be larger and brighter, but it's enough to satisfy most people's needs. The Aurora offers a range of nice hues, with preset themes and the ability to make your own. Also, the lights we recommend below are not meant to be used outdoors. Note: You might run into issues using smart bulbs with dimmer switches. It's not the worst thing, but it can be a nuisance. Most bulbs can be set up separately, but some companies require you to connect a hub to your router. You might have to occasionally reconnect the bulb to the app. Make sure to leave the power switch or the wall switch turned on so the corresponding app can control the power instead. Usually, you only need to replace a bulb and download an app. If you're buying lighting for an office or other professional space where pink or blue shades would be frowned upon (or you just want the most affordable bulb), we have basic options listed below. All the color bulbs we tried have multiple white and warm settings, so if there's any chance you might want to try out colors occasionally, we recommend going with them. You'll typically see smart bulbs categorized by full color, dimmable white, and tunable white (bright white and warm tone options). Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.

![]() For the first time, the Conference Finals consisted exclusively of teams located in the Sun Belt, with the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final, and the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final. įor the fourth consecutive year, a Florida-based team reached the Stanley Cup Finals. Among these opening round road victories, the Florida Panthers overcame a 3–1 series deficit to upset the Presidents' Trophy-winning Boston Bruins in seven games, the Seattle Kraken defeated the defending champion Colorado Avalanche in seven games to win their first playoff series, and the Toronto Maple Leafs eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning on the road in Game 6 to win their first series since the 2004 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. In addition, visiting teams in the First Round went 31–19 overall to set a new league record for the most road wins in a single round. This postseason marked the second consecutive and fourth time overall that the league played 50 or more games in the opening round of the playoffs since this round was changed to a best-of-seven format in 1987. For the first time since 1990 and second time since entering the NHL as expansion teams in the 1967–68 NHL season, both Pennsylvania-based teams (the Flyers and Penguins) missed the playoffs in the same season. All three New York metropolitan area teams (the Devils, Islanders and Rangers) made the playoffs in the same year for the first time since 2007. The Kraken also became the first NHL exclusive expansion team to make their first playoff appearance in their second season since the Atlanta Flames in 1974. The Seattle Kraken became the second fastest NHL expansion team since 1991 to qualify for the playoffs, after the Vegas Golden Knights, and the first to clinch their inaugural playoff appearance in their second season in the league since the Quebec Nordiques in 1981. As a result, this is the first time since 1976 that the longest active playoff streak was less than ten consecutive seasons. The longest active streak moved to the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs at seven consecutive seasons after the Nashville Predators and Washington Capitals also had their eight-season playoff streaks end. The Pittsburgh Penguins failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2005–06 NHL season, ending the NHL's longest active playoff streak at sixteen consecutive seasons. The Boston Bruins made the playoffs as the Presidents' Trophy winners after setting the league record for the most wins and points in a single regular season. The playoffs began on April 17, 2023, three days after the end of the regular season, and will end in June 2023 with the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup. The 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs is the ongoing playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 2022–23 season. ![]() ![]() For us in Seattle, the wait was quoted at about 9 months most places, but we ended up getting spots in 3 daycares within 6-9 months of joining their lists, likely because families pulled their kids from schools during the pandemic. If you live in a major metropolitan area, you might need to get on a daycare waitlist right when you find out you’re pregnant. Together, these 2 resources create an aptly titled “Go Time!” duo.Ĭhildcare is a beast these days. I also put the address to the hospital, parking garage, and emergency room into this sheet so it could be the only thing we needed to look at when it was time. Separately, I created a checklist of all the things I needed to do when I went into labor - things like canceling weekly appointments, calling the midwives to let them know we’re coming, and getting our dog taken care of. There are so many hospital bag pack lists out there, and I tried to capture all the recommendations as well as my personal recommendations in this list. “Go Time” Checklist + Hospital Bag Pack List I’ve included starter spreadsheets for comparing pregnancy healthcare providers, doulas, and pediatricians. ![]() Regardless of your care, make sure it’s a great fit for you! This spreadsheet will help you compare options. Personally, I couldn’t have been happier with the team (ie the time I cried to one of my midwives for an hour, and she caringly helped me fight off a mid-pregnancy anxiety attack). Having seen a naturopathic doctor for over a decade, this felt more aligned with what I wanted from my pregnancy care. Once I learned more, I was excited about the midwifery practice, and thought about adding the support of a doula, too. I had heard of doulas and midwives but didn’t know the difference nor what role they played. When I got pregnant and saw her again, the same feeling crept in when I felt rushed out of my first appointment, and the experience left me wondering about other types of care for my pregnancy. But when I miscarried, I felt a lack of holistic support, and quite honestly, sympathy. When I first got pregnant, I researched a great OB and went to see her. This spreadsheet also includes a tab that gives you an example of a high-level timeline for a non-complicated pregnancy, including doctor’s visits and a place to plan your parental leave, childcare, and family help dates. You can use what works for you, remove what doesn’t, and add your own tasks. ![]() Over the course of my pregnancy, as I learned more firsthand, I added to the list. So I started researching all the things you need to do during pregnancy, and distilled down to this list. I tried so hard to get pregnant that by the time I was, I didn’t really know what to do next. ![]() Pregnancy Logistics Pregnancy Timeline / Checklist Here is every resource I used during my pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood!

This isn’t the first time the company has made a battle royale title either, as it released Hyper Scape just last year.Īs for why Ubisoft would want to make a battle royale game in spite of the player disdain, the explanation might lay in the fact that the leading battle royale titles on the market make a lot of money for their creators.

Earlier this year, the publisher revealed Tom Clancy’s XDefiant, a 6v6 shooter that bore a resemblance to Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Frontline was revealed by Ubisoft last night. A small but vocal group of fans are most disappointed that Ubisoft appears to be making every kind of Tom Clancy game - indeed, seems to be inventing new kinds of Tom Clancy games - except Splinter Cell, despite the number of fans asking for a new one.įans also noted in the YouTube comments that this isn’t the first time Ubisoft has chased a gaming trend with the Tom Clancy franchise. On the Ghost Recon subreddit, users are asserting that this title will kill all future interest in the series and that Ubisoft has spectacularly failed to meet the community’s demand. If you go to sites like Reddit, the general attitude is still unhappy. Leaks posted to ResetEra and Reddit over the past 24 hours point to this next project being named Ghost Recon Frontline, with a potential shift back to featuring linear levels. The comments on almost every official video are roasting Ubisoft for their decision to make this game, asserting that no one wanted a battle royale game from the company, it will not be able to compete with the rest of the battles royale out there, and that Ubisoft’s decision to make the game may hurt future Tom Clancy titles. The trailer has a huge dislike-to-like ratio, as does Ubisoft’s explainer video. ![]() The reaction from gamers so far has been decidedly unamused.

Now, let’s consider that a diode is also in series with a resistor (R1), and a source voltage (VDD). For example, if two resistors say R1 and R2 are wired together in a series connection, they are both parts of the same loop, so the same current must flow through each resistor. To calculate the Q point of a diode, we must use Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL), which states that the algebraic sum of the potential differences in any loop must be equal to zero (ΣV = 0). In general, it is the circuit designer who picks the Q point to operate the diode at a safe nominal current. Furthermore, the Q point of a diode is specific to the circuit in which the diode is apart, therefore it is necessary to calculate it for the particular circuit you are designing. Calculating the Q Point of a DiodeĪs previously discussed, the operating or quiescent point (Q point) is the point at which the diode operates optimally. In summary, the Q point is essential to a component’s (diode) or circuit’s overall functionality. Whereas, a bias circuit is a portion of the device's circuit which supplies this steady current or voltage. Furthermore, when supplying the AC signal, you do so by superimposing it on the DC bias current or voltage. Numerous electronic devices, including diodes, transistors, and even vacuum tubes, whose function is processing time-varying AC )signals, also require a steady DC current or voltage to operate correctly. Biasing in electronics means establishing predetermined voltages or currents at various points of an electronic circuit to promote proper operating conditions in electronic components. ![]() The Importance of a Q point to Circuit OperationĪnother way of expressing a Q point is by addressing it as biasing. In other words, this operating point (Q point) is the intersection where the optimum forward voltage and forward current converge, and it is also the point where the diode operates at its optimum. ![]() Consequently, there is only one point on the dc load line where the diode voltage and current are compatible with the circuit conditions. Q point or the operating point of a device, also known as a bias point, or quiescent point is the steady-state DC voltage or current at a specified terminal of an active device such as a diode or transistor with no input signal applied.Īlso, the Q Point is the relationship between the diode forward voltage and current defined by the device characteristic. However, the operating point of a diode (Q point), happens to be one of those exceptions. Furthermore, in the field of electronics, the landscape is continuously changing, and very few things that are true today that were also true even a few years ago. It is only logical, especially considering the fact that these advancements provide the most noticeable, widespread, and life-altering effects on our lives. While on the subject of advancements, the majority of our accomplishments are within the field of electronics and engineering. Besides, if not for this unquenchable drive, we humans would not have accomplished the advancements in science you see today. ![]() However, it is human nature that promotes us all to continuously strive for the perceivably unachievable. The Q point we all seek is often elusive, and for some, it is unobtainable. For example, working for the perfect company, that also appreciates your work, pays you accordingly, and the passion for what you do is unwavering. We all strive for that optimum point in which our performance, drive, and passion for what task lies before us converge. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lightning McQueen: Keith Ferguson (regular, Carbon Fiber, and Radiator Springs).Mater: Larry the Cable Guy (regular and Materhosen).There are also more paint jobs, which are called "themes", to the characters.
