Pioneer debuts three new wireless CarPlay systems | 220v Contactor Relay

To me, this is like the equivalent of cheating on your math homework by looking for the answers at the back of your textbook. Or worse, like getting a hand-me-down copy of Where’s Waldo and when you open the book, you find that your older cousin has already circled the Waldos in red marker. It’s about the journey, not the destination — the process of methodically scanning pages with your eyes is entirely lost! But of course, no one is actually going to use this robot to take the fun out of Where’s Waldo, it’s just a demonstration of what AutoML can do. Reed listed a few more possible applications: “Maybe a fun use would be seeing what cartoon character the AI thinks you look closest to? Maybe could detect comic book forgeries?”

The skin depth varies with the magnetic permeability of the material. Iron for example reacts at very low frequencies, so much so that it becomes useless for wires at 50 Hz.

When potential EV adopters ask me how long it takes to charge my i3 I don’t have to say “ugh… like 22 hours for a full charge…” Instead I get a much different reaction by saying: “after a normal day of use I plug in my cell phone and my car at the same time and usually the car gets to 100% first… but DC fast charging stations can go substantially faster”

24v 12a is not that much more at 288watts. I’m sure I’m missing something to do with electromagnetism which makes the secondary unnatractive?

Maximum video length is 29 minutes or two gigabytes per clip, whichever limit is reached first — although if SteadyShot is enabled, this limit is slashed to just nine minutes per clip, likely due to sensor heating issues when using the sensor-shift stabilization mechanism. Full HD videos are recorded using 17Mbps AVCHD compression, while the lower resolutions are saved with MP4 compression, at a bitrate of 12Mbps for 1,440 x 1,080 pixel video, or 3Mbps for VGA video. Movie capture is started and stopped with a dedicated Movie button located just to the right of the electronic viewfinder, within easy reach of a thumb press.

I was mainly thinking about the diff between high vs. low RMS AC voltage but the discussion of AC vs DC has been interesting as well.

Clearing the work space and moving any furniture before I arrive means I can get in and out faster, so I can charge you for less of my time.

I’d like to know how this does around town and also on the highway (independently) when the battery is exhausted. Maybe we should get standard EPA measurements with the battery starting empty in addition to the eMPG test.

Most people posting seem to have three stories, I only have two. Hard to believe I learn faster than you all; I must have just forgotten the other times.

Now that’s something … And for other commenters: of course exposed mains voltage is dangerous, lethal even. But why would it need to be exposed? It could be made like Davic’s hack, or in countless other ways that are safe. Hide heating element under thermal mass, use secure connectors and proper grounding.

While we don’t currently have details on the precise viewfinder type employed by the Sony A33 — Sony describes it as a 0.46-inch diagonal (0.43-inch effective) Xtra Fine LCD Tru-Finder — it clearly employs a time-multiplexed method to display red, green, and blue color information at every pixel location, suggesting it is likely a ferroelectric LCD. This differs from traditional LCD displays, which mostly create color information with a cluster of three adjacent red, green, and blue subpixels (commonly called ‘dots’), for each pixel location. When compared to standard LCD electronic viewfinders, ferroelectric types bring both advantages and disadvantages. They’ve proven somewhat divisive in the past, due to their tendency to demonstrate RGB "rainbow" artifacts when you blink or move your eyes, or with fast-moving subjects. On the positive side, though, since each pixel provides full color, ferroelectric LCDs tend to look much smoother and more detailed than their traditional LCD siblings, with less obvious pixel structure. They also tend to have higher refresh rates, and indeed Sony specs the EVF used in the A33 as offering a 60Hz refresh rate. It’s not surprising to see such a display adopted by Sony, since Konica Minolta — the company Sony absorbed to create its DSLR division — was a particular proponent of their use.
