Motorola Atrix [GIVEAWAY]

FOLLOW ONE OF THESE LINKS TO APPLY FREE: If You are from United States follow this link: goo.gl All Other Countries click here: goo.gl Motorola Atrix Review: The hardware on the Atrix is the real star of the show. It's packing a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, a full gigabyte of RAM, front facing camera, and everything else people on AT&T have been waiting for. The full specifications are: NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2 processor, clocked in at 1 GHz 1024 MB of system RAM 16382 MB (16GB) internal storage microSD card slot (up to 32 GB size card) 4-inch capacitive touchscreen at 540×960 (qHD) resolution 5 MP rear camera with 720p video capture and dual LED flash, VGA (0.3 MP) front-facing camera Android 2.2.1 Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, AGPS, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi 1930 mAh battery GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900, UMTS 850, 1900, 2100 and 14.4 Mbit/s HSDPA / 2.0 Mbit/s HSUPA * radio So the hardware is nothing to sneeze at. It's by far the most powerful smartphone hardware we've ever seen. But exactly how is it packaged up? The phone is a mixture of plastic with a Gorilla Glass screen. The screen is glossy plastic with no coating, but the way the battery door wraps around it feels very solid. You'll see what I mean in the pictures that follow. It is a total fingerprint magnet though — front and back. The front of the phone is your standard black slab, with capacitive buttons and a cutout for the earpiece. The buttons are silkscreened and have the same order as the Droid X and Droid 2 models — menu ...

N Scale Con-Cor/Rivarossi UP 4-6-6-4 Challenger with Soundtraxx TSU750 Micro Sound Decoder

Streamlined Backshop Services present a sample of the installation services available for your DCC project. This project using the Con-Cor/Rivarossi Challenger as a platform utilizes a Soundtraxx TSU750 Tsunami Micro decoder for some light functions and sound and a TCS M1 for front light and motor control. The backup light fixture on the tender has been modified to accept an operational LED. An 0603 Warm White LED with 1000 ohm resistor is used for the front and rear lights. The speakers are (2) 13x13mm speakers aimed down through the floor adn are available from Streamlined Backshop Services and (2) 13mm rounds aimed up through the coal load. The sound file is Heavy Steam version available from Soundtraxx. The Athearn Challenger is fitted with a TSU750 also. I do not know the version as it was sent in for repair. The speaker is the facotry installation however. The video is a great example of the volume I am able to get out of many installationsby using a good mix of speakers, placement, and natural baffeling from the loco shell as well as a side-by-side comparison of the two versions of this model. Also be sure to compare the sound in this video to the sound car video on my channel. This is a good reference of the difference between Soundtraxx, ESU Loksound, Digitrax and MRC sound. Email me at sales@sbs4dcc.com for a quote on your project today.

Questions in the comment box below and I will endeavour to answer as many questions as I can.

Cymatics Experiment - Dust Bunnies - Acoustic Landscape

A cymatics experiment using a keyboard, solid tones, arpegiated tones, and variables from the keyboard (resonance / attack / odd / even / Wave depth / etc. I do like the principle of being able to make IMMEDIATE shapes based on solid sinewave tones, but don't think that it is the end of the road. I think that there is something to: 1. Multiple speaker placement on a plate (think 9 different 4 inch speakers soldered to the plate. 2. Magnetics - On the top of the board, a series of positionable electromagnets in which to disturb the flow, and to act as a vibration + Magnetism effect. Also, if part of the effect of the sound through the plate is magnetic...then deading it in positions in line with the speakers. I am making cymatic instruments, and they will be on sale in the Ginko Gallery in Oberlin, Oh by the oberlin college. If you are interested in getting a few of these, and they run out there...just contact me through here, and we will figure something out.
