THREE_CHIP_EKG_SIMULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 2:06:00 Author:May

Two 555s and a quad NAND-gate IC can simulate an electrocardiograph signal and a γ-wave radioisotope signal for applications in nuclear medicine. This circuit synchronizes the radioisotope signal to the EKG signal. You can use the circuit's outputs to test, for example, microprocessor-based software that calculates the left ventricular ejection fraction before you use the software in clinical applications. IC1, a 555 timer, provides a positive-going pulse train that simulates an EKG signal. A 10-KΩ potentiometer provides frequency adjustment. The other 555 timer, configured as a pulse-position modulator, provides the simulated γ-wave activity.   (View)

OPTICAL_PICK_UP_TACHOMETER

Published:2009/7/8 2:00:00 Author:May

Remote, noncontact, measurement of the speed of rotating objects is the purpose of this simple circuit. Linearity and accuracy are extremely high and normally limited by the milliammeter used and the initial calibration. This circuit is configured to count the leading edge of light pulses and to ignore normal ambient light levels. It is designed for portable operation since the tachometer is not sensitive to supply voltage within the supply voltage tolerance. Full scale at the maximum sensitivity of the calibration resistance is read at about 300 light pulses per second. A digital voltmeter can be used, on the 100-mV full-scale range, in place of the milliammeter. Shunt its input with a 100-Ω resistor in parallel with a 100-μF capacitor. This rc network replaces the filtering supplied by the analog meter.   (View)

IMPLANTABLE_INGESTIBLE_ELECTRONIC_THERMOMETER

Published:2009/7/8 1:55:00 Author:May

This oscillator circuit includes a quartz crystal that has a nominal resonant frequency of 262,144 Hz and is cut in the orientation that gives a large linear coefficient of frequency variation with the temperature.In this type of circuit, the oscillation frequency is controlled primarily by the crystal-as long as the gain-bandwidth product is at least four times the frequency. In this case, the chosen component values yield a gain-bandwidth product of 1 MHz. Inductor L1 can be made very small: 100 to 200 turns with a diameter of 0.18 in. (4.8 mm) and a length of 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Although the figure shows two transistors in parallel, one could be used to reduce power consumption or three could be used to boost the output. The general oscillator circuit can be used to measure temperatures from -10 to + 140 °C. A unit made for use in the human body from about 30 to 40 °C operates at 262,144 ± 50 Hz with a frequency stability of 0.1 Hz and a temperature coefficient of 9 Hz/°C.   (View)

DIFFERENTIAL_TO_10°F

Published:2009/7/8 1:45:00 Author:May

Simple circuit senses difference between temperatures of two objiects, as required for such control applications as turning on fans, turning off heaters, or opecrating mixing valves, inexpensive 1N4001 silicon diode is used as sensor; with two such diodes in resistance bridge as shown, voltage between reference and sensor diodes is applied to pins 4 and 7 of opamp. High-gain opamp is required because bridge output is only about 2mV/℃ of temperature differential. If output requires morethan about 10 mA, buffer transistor is needed.-J.

TESLA_COIL

Published:2009/7/8 1:11:00 Author:May

Power is fed to transformer T1, a small neon-sign transformer, which steps the voltage up to about 3000 Vac. The stepped-up output of T1 is fed through L1 and L2 and across C1, causing the capacitor to charge until enough power is stored in the unit to produce an arc across the spark gap. The spark gap, which momentarily connects C1 and L3 in parallel, determines the amount of current transferred between C1 and L3.The arcing across the spark gap sends a series of high-voltage pulses through L3, giving a sort of oscillated effect. The energy fed through L3 is transferred to L4 via the magnetic coupling between the two coils. Because of the turn ratio that exists between L3 and L4, an even higher voltage is produced across L4. Coil L4 steps up the voltage, which collects on the top-capacitance sphere. There, it causes an avalanche breakdown of the surrounding air, giving off a luminous discharge.The rotary spark gap is a simple add-on circuit for the Tesla Coil, consisting of a variable dc power supply and a small, 5000-rpm, dc motor. The circuit allows you to vary the output of the Tesla coil by adjusting the rotating speed of the motor. A rotary gap is far more efficient than a stationary gap, because the stationary gap could cut-out and require readjustment.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_HEAT_SNIFFER_

Published:2009/7/7 23:23:00 Author:May

Sensing element Q1 is a 2N3904 general-purpose npn transistor, although any general-purpose npn unit in a TO-92 style case will do. IC1, an LM334, supplies Q1 with a constant current that is independent of temperature. An LM324 quad op amp, IC2, forms a high input-impedance differential amplifier (IC2a, IC2b, and IC2c) with a gain of about 99. IC2d is used as a voltage comparator. When Q1 senses a rise or fall in temperature, the base-to-emitter voltage decreases. That decrease in voltage causes the input to IC2a at pin 3 to deviate from the reference voltage that's fed to IC2b at pin 5, which is set by potentiometers R5. The difference between the input and the reference is amplified by IC2c. That amplified voltage is fed to IC2d where it is compared to a control voltage set by potentiometer R13. The setting of R13 determines the threshold and is set at a point that's equal to the ambient temperature. The output of IC2d at pin 14 is fed to the base of transistor Q2. When the output of IC2d is high, LED1 lights and Q2 turns on. With Q2 turned on, a ground path through the transistor is provided for buzzer PB1.The circuit can be built on perforated construction board using point-to-point wiring. All components, except Q1, are mounted on the board. Transistor Q1 is mounted at the tip of the heat-sensing probe.   (View)

SQUARING_FOR_RMS

Published:2009/7/7 23:17:00 Author:May

Combination of two MC1594 multipiiers and two opamps gives RMS detector for squaring instantaneous input values, averaging over time interval, then taking square root to give RMS value of input wave-form. First multiplier, used to square input waveform, delivers output current to first opamp for conversion to voltage and for aver-aging by means of capacitor in feedback path. Second opamp is used with second multiplier as feedback element for taking square root. Technique eliminates thermal response time drawback of most other RMS measuring circuits. Input voltage range for circuit is 2 to 10 V P-P; for other ranges, input scaling can be used. Since direct coupling is used, output voltage in. dudes DC components of input. Maximum input frequency is about 600 kHz, and accuracy is about 1%,-K. Huehne and D. Aldridge, True RMS Measurements Using IC Multipliers, EDN Magazine, March 20, 1973, p 85-86.   (View)
