![]() With the DBT, I've measured 6mV bias voltage at SourceHĪ mere touch to the multiturn trimpot brought it immediately to 4mV (was the wiper contact loose on the track?). The 80W bulb clearly limits the current as 80V rails are measured at 55V. ![]() I've brought back the unit on, this time with a DBT. Then, before I've had the chance to write that down, the voltage started to climb to 33mV, then decreased back to 16mV then went all over the place in a matter of seconds as far as 100mV The protection circuit triggered and the relay disengaged almost at the same time I was powering down the unit. So I've found R43 and R44 legs to probe "SourceH" and "SourceL" from "Out" (at relay out).Īt first power up, I measured 10mV climbing slowly and stabilizing to 16mV as the unit was warming up. Every THT component on this board is literally drown in silicone I had to remove again a lot of silicone to get access to them. I managed to identify accessible probing points for the bias voltage, as no such point has been anticipated in the design, attesting again that it has not been thought as serviceable. If you measure the DC voltage across C4, and the DC voltage across R38, and report those two numbers, along with the value of TRIM1, I think I can help you figure out a suitable value for this additional safety resistor. At the same time, this resistor needs to be small enough in value so that, if TRIM1 goes bad, the output MOSFETs are protected, as described in the previous paragraph. This additional resistor needs to be big enough in value to allow you to still use TRIM1 to adjust the proper output bias current. The value of this additional safety resistor depends on some component details I don't know, including the resistance value of TRIM1. There will be increased crossover distortion until TRIM1 is fixed, but nothing will burn out. This will reduce the bias on the output MOSFETs, making them go cold. If the trimpot (TRIM1) goes bad, this resistor will now turn T9 fully on. Wire a resistor between base and collector of T9. This can be fixed by a slight change in design. When this happens, T9 will turn off, and the output MOSFETs will start to flow too much current. Eventually the TRIM1 potentiometer will get old and scratchy, and the wiper will lose contact with the track. You're done!īy the way, the bias adjust circuit is very poorly designed. Adjust TRIM1 until the meter reads 5 mV or 0.005 volts. So now you know how to adust your bias current: Connect a DC voltmeter on a suitable millivolt range between "Source H" and "Out". Since R29 = 0.33 ohms, the voltage drop across it (when 15 mA flows through it) will be 5 millivolts. That means R29 will have 15 mA flowing through it. This current will be divided equally between the three matched FETs (we hope). Let's pick the middle value for bias current, 45 mA. ![]() If your amp's had a rough life there may be other contributing issues, and it may be a good idea to give it a full overhaul.Click to expand.I think you have all the information you need in those two sentences. Mine hasn't crackled since, although these days I use the plug to switch it on/off so as not to wear out the switch. ![]() It's a bit fiddly to do, and it involves bending some small metal tabs in order to be able to dismantle and reassemble the power switch itself, something that needs to be done very carefully. I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, and then polished the contact points with metal polish (make sure to wash off any residue! I used isopropyl and a cotton swab for this, too). Not an uncommon problem on old hifi equipment (I've since encountered it on a tuner too).Īs I wasn't sure whether it would be possible to get hold of a replacement switch that would fit and work properly with the rotary selector used on these amps for power off/on as well as speaker selection, I decided to dismantle the old power switch to give it a deep clean. I finally narrowed it down to the power switch, more specifically the contact surfaces inside it being dirty and/or corroded. I have this amp's little brother, the AU-2900, and it suddently started crackling in a very similar manner to yours. Sounds like it could be a dirty power switch.

From Minecraft to Roblox, children's favorite games have become havens for hackers By Florian Reynaud Published on December 31, 2023, at 1:16 am (Paris), updated on December 31, 2023, at 10:57 am ![]() 7, 8 Types A, C and D are usually located on plasmids, whereas type B typically resides in the chromosome. 6 Four types of blaZ product (A, B, C, D) have been distinguished by serotyping and differences in hydrolysis of selected β-lactam substrates. The genes (the structural gene blaZ, its repressor gene blaI, and a signal transducer-sensor protein, encoded by blaR1) are clustered together. 5 blaZ-encoded penicillin resistance has been thoroughly investigated. ![]() The second is primarily associated with human isolates and confers resistance due to a penicillin-binding protein, PBP2a, encoded by mecA. The most important is production of β-lactamase, which inactivates penicillin by hydrolysis of its β-lactam ring. Two mechanisms confer penicillin resistance in staphylococci. aureus are penicillin resistant 2 and prevalence of penicillin-resistant bovine isolates vary from 10 to 70% according to geographic location. Penicillin has been the drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by this organism however, resistant S. Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen and one of the most important causes of bovine mastitis worldwide. Mastitis, penicillin, β-lactamases Introduction Although a common gene pool seems to exist among staphylococci, exchange of blaZ between strains and species is judged to be an extremely rare event. aureus and CoNS obtained from five Danish cattle herds, the same type of blaZ was only detected in one case.Ĭonclusions: Results indicated a separate evolution for plasmid- and chromosomally-encoded blaZ. The major types all contained strains of both human and bovine origin, and more than one Staphylococcus species, demonstrating a shared gene pool. They translated into 11 BlaZ protein types. Sixty-nine sequence types were demonstrated. A phylogenetic tree showed that blaZ exists in three evolutionary lines: one group was of plasmid origin, one group was of chromosomal origin and one intermediate group. Sixty-nine sequences representing 105 isolates and sequences retrieved from public databases were compared. The blaZ gene was localized to a plasmid in only 16 of the resistant strains. Results: All penicillin-resistant strains carried blaZ and showed a similar organization of blaR1 and blaZ. The localization of blaZ was determined by Southern blotting in 108 isolates. Parsimony, neighbour joining and consensus comparisons were performed for recombination. Maximum likelihood analysis was performed including bootstrap analysis. The sequence was determined in 105 strains and compared to published sequences by pairwise and multiple alignments. aureus from six different countries ( n = 52), humans in Denmark ( n = 3) and β-lactamase control strains ( n = 3). aureus and CoNS from five Danish cattle herds ( n = 25/23), random CoNS isolates from Denmark ( n = 37), a collection of S. Methods: blaZ was detected in 143 strains of penicillin-resistant S. Objectives: To elucidate the diversity and evolutionary history of plasmid- and chromosomally-located blaZ, to detect indications of frequent exchange of blaZ between human and bovine staphylococci and to estimate the frequency of transfer of blaZ between coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and Staphylococcus aureus of bovine origin.

Finn got hold of the lightsaber and tried to fight him, but was left very badly wounded. Injured but furious, Kylo Ren scarpered to the surface in pursuit of Finn and Rey. This enraged Chewbacca, who shot at Kylo, and set off the explosives - enabling the Resistance to get to work in their attempt to destroy Starkiller Base. Once there, they reunited with Rey - but when Han confronted Kylo and implored him to abandon the Dark Side, the emotional son refused - and killed his own father. Before they left, Leia made Han promise to bring their son back alive. The Resistance, led by Leia, formulated a plan to destroy the Starkiller Base leading Han, Chewbacca and Finn to head off to try and infiltrate it, plant explosives and save Rey. She escaped, using her newfound abilities with the Force, playing a mind trick on a stormtrooper. Rey, however, was captured by Kylo Ren and taken to Starkiller Base, but his torture techniques failed to work on her - and she was able to read his mind, discovering his insecurities. The First Order attacked Takodana in search of BB-8, where Han, Chewbacca and Finn were saved by Resistance fighters - led by Poe, who survived the earlier crash. She had disturbing visions that startled her, but Maz gave her the iconic weapon for safekeeping. When they all travelled to the planet of Takodana to meet Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o), who offered her assistance in getting BB-8 back to the Resistance, Rey was drawn to a vault containing a lightsaber that once belonged to Luke and his father Anakin. Soon, however, they were intercepted by Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), keen to take back control of their old ship.Īs we learned that Kylo Ren was the son of Leia and Han, his master Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) made him declare that his parents meant nothing to him, and put pressure on him and General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) to crush the Resistance using the Starkiller Base.Īboard the Falcon, Han helped Rey and Finn to access the map Poe stored in BB-8, but discovered that that was only part of the bigger picture. All the music, characters and things that make Star Wars Star Wars are here and it's simply one of the best of the series to date.After Finn and Poe crashed, and Finn presumed Poe to have been killed, the former found Rey and BB-8, and the pair escaped the First Order with BB-8 aboard the Millennium Falcon. Where the first one was a victorious uprising this is, as the title suggests, the time in history where the Empire strikes back against the uprising. Overall this is as good as Star Wars at it's heart, but the darker nature of the film makes it much better. Yoda is a good addition (despite sounding like Fozzie Bear!) and Darth Vader becomes a lot more than just a good villain we learn his past, a revelation then, but a thing of common knowledge now. However we also get a much more interesting version of Luke as he continues his journey into becoming a full Jedi. The strong characters from the first (Han, C3P0 et al) are all still good here. ![]() The characters are better here than the first. The addition of a dark strand to the film makes it all the better as it can be enjoyed as a story and not just a fun sci-fi film with good effects. The two work well together and come together well for a great finale. Meanwhile the other half is a lot more action orientated and has comedy and good new characters such as Bobba Fett. The scenes with Yoda add depth to the film and hint at the truth. ![]() ![]() Like the recent episode two this follows two strands the more pedestrian scenes with Luke and Yoda and the more action based scenes with Han and company. In fact the ending of this film could not be more different from the end of Star Wars. This sees some startling revelations (I won't spoil it in case you've been living under a rock!) but also sees significant blows to the rebellion. The Empire is not beaten by the destruction of one ship it's power is barely dented in fact. However what gets added to that is a much darker strand. Empire retains the same characters and the same sense of fun that the first had the battle on Hoth is just one of THE moments of the series. Following Star Wars was never going to be easy but this is actually better. However the power of the dark side should not be underestimated and many dark truths are revealed as the threat of the Empire looms large. While the Rebellion base on Hoth is under treat, Luke has gone to a distant swamp planet to receive further Jedi training from Master Yoda. ![]() The Rebellion has struck an important blow to the power of the Empire by destroying it's Death Star, however the power of the Dark Side of the Force remains strong and continues to hunt the rebellion. ![]() Personally, I’m generally not a fan of a rangefinder scope combo. Plus, it’s illuminated, so you can see it even when it’s dark out and the reticle also has a nice red dot on it. It’s specifically designed for crossbows and has multiple aiming points to help you adjust for different distances. But, the coolest thing about this scope is the reticle. The Crossfire II has a 30mm tube and you can zoom in between 2 and 7 times, which makes it easier to take precise shots at longer distances. I’ve used it on a variety of crossbows (currently, I’ve removed it from my CP400 since it came with a decent scope, and will put it on my Ravin that’ll be arriving soon) and while it’s not the best in any singular category, it’s the best overall. It cost me less than $200 and I thought, “what’s the most I’d get from it?” But it managed to exceed all of my expectations and more. Honestly, when I bought the Vortex Crossfire II scope back in 2021, I wasn’t expecting much. Gun University’s choices of the best crossbow scopes Best Crossbow Scopes Having said that, let’s take a look at the list of best crossbow scopes. ![]() What’s right for you really depends on your personal situation. I’ve recommended a mix of scopes based on their category. They have multiple crosshairs or reticles, each with a different aiming point, and are very adjustable. Multi-reticle scope – If you want to shoot targets spread out over different distances, they are the best scopes for you. All the crossbow scopes we’ve recommended have magnification as a feature. You can magnify your target and quickly adjust the aiming point for different distances. Magnified scopes – These scopes are great for aiming at targets that are either far away or are very small. It’s very easy to use since you don’t have to think about multiple reticles or aim points and I personally like using it for short-range targets. Red dot scopes – As the name says, this scope uses a single red dot in the center of the lens to pinpoint the bolt. I broke crossbow scopes down into three categories: Let’s narrow down the choices to find the one that’s right for you. So, before we get to our best scopes, you should know about the different types of crossbow scopes. So, I’ve sorted them based on categories. What works for one shooter may not work for you. That being said, there are different scopes for different folks who want to do different things. They are what I consider to be the best scopes in the market this year. While many high-end crossbows do come with their own scopes, they are usually not of the same quality as the crossbow and can seriously affect your hunt.Īfter going through a lot of scopes and testing them, I’ve put together a list of my favorites. ![]() Once you’ve gotten a good scope, being accurate is fairly easy. Here’s where a scope makes all the difference. The crossbow is my favorite weapon for hunting and I live by one principle even the best crossbow is useless if you can’t get the bolt to hit the target. |
