Could A Fire Have Caused The Loss Of MH370? | 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

I typed “bolts” for “volts” in one of my ramblings here, but caught it before clicking Post Comment. Let this be the ROUND(e^23,0) request for the ability to edit our comments, at least for a few minutes after posting. Hell, even WaPo allows it.

For every piece of equipment that lists MOCP and MCA, you are given the breaker size and minimum wire ampacity. As above, the MOCP is usually significantly higher than the MCA, but this is to allow for the spike in amp draw upon motor start.

A user calling himself "Tango" over at the MyNissanLEAF forum posted them yesterday saying, "I wasn’t sure if anyone posted pics of the insides yet, so while they were [installing it], I took a couple of pictures of the innards."

Haha the big experts get all positive votes, but yours truly with a Master Electrician’s License gets all negatives. Hey, Believe what you want.

A coworker at JPL got bit by an ion pump supply. On-site health unit recognized abnormal EKG, sent him to ER. ER doctor diagnosed a congenital abnormality unrelated to the incident. But he ended up with a date with a nurse, so he considered it a worthwhile exercise.

I had three electrocutions with mains voltage in about one hour. It was a dark and stormy night, when I decided to try again building my own half-bridge SMPS which had tendency to explode whenever I plugged it in. It was made of two boards: one contained EMI filters, bridge, fuse and HV electrolytic capacitors, other had high-side controller, transistors, transformer and everything else. When another transistor decided that it would rather choose new Pope instead of working, I got a bit angry. I grabbed something to drink in kitchen, returned and grabbed the board in order to smash it against the wall. I forgot to unplug it first. Ouch. Half a hour later, it was still dark and stormy night, I attempted to fix an ATX supply. When I was grabbing something from behind of supply, I touched the board with my forearm. Supply was plugged, of course. Ouch. Half a hour later, yes, it was a dark and annoying night, I was still working on the ATX supply. I unplugged the supply and was inspecting the traces, my nose and lower lip brushed solder pads of those two big caps that were charged to ~320V. I went to bed with my face hurting…

We’re pleased to report that the EVF in the Sony A33 provides better dynamic range than most, and does a decent job of preserving highlight detail in high-contrast scenes. The slight distraction caused by the "rainbow" effect is relatively easy to ignore most of the time. Sony specs the EVF as having 1,440,000 dots, of which 1,152,000 are effective in the viewfinder display. We believe that the company is following precedent here, by reporting a dot count as if each pixel constituted three separate color dots, rather than being time-multiplexed. If that’s the case, the actual pixel resolution would be 480,000 total pixels, of which 384,000 are effective in the final image.

Many of the Sony A55 and A33′s settings are accessed via the Fn button, just below and the to the left of the thumb grip recess on the back of the camera. I can’t think of any better place to put it, but accessing it does require loosening your grip, and therefore shifting support from your right hand to your left. Apart from that, the Fn button is in a good location, easy to find by feel: Just slide your thumb down out of its recess, and the Fn button is the first control you’ll touch.

Google’s Cloud AutoML has been available since January to let users train their own AI tools without any previous coding knowledge. The drag-and-drop tool lets anyone create an image recognition tool, which has a variety of use cases such as categorizing photos of ramen by the shops they came from. You can catch a glimpse of this process in the video above, in which different photos of Waldos are fed into the software.
