Her tomb is located in the village cemetery just outside Courances. Then I walk on the road past the small château where the couture designer Nina Ricci lived until she passed away in 1970. Or, I can turn left where the local cressonière (watercress grower) has his fields – really small canals – of deep green watercress growing in the cold spring waters and past various village gardens and potagers, still full of vegetables and fruits even at this time of year. Then le chemin (the path) passes Moigny’s lovely old mill and at that point, I can turn right through orchards and former farm fields behind Moigny and skirt the walls of the Château to come back around through our village and on to home. My favorite path leads down our lane towards the Courances polo field and then forks off towards the village of Moigny-sur-Ecole – did you know that when town signs in France contain the word ‘sur’ plus something, it most often means the town is on a river? In this case, Moigny is located on the small river Ecole (like the French word for ‘school’).

An interview with Hans Camenzind - The designer of the most success-ful integrated circuit ever developed”, ĢNow part of the Philips organisation.3Recent manufacturing volumes indicate that the 555 timer is as popular as ever, with for ex-Īmple, Samsung (Korea) producing over one billion devices in 2003 see Wikipedia entry at ĤTypically between ground and a voltage close to power rail VCC.įigure 1: 555 Timer functional block diagram.įig. In no way is an attemptmade to simulate the actual 555 timer circuitry.ġSee ”The 555 Timer IC. Internally, the macromodel simply processes input signal information andoutputs signals, in the correct format, to the device output pins. The approach adopted is centred on establishedmacromodelling techniques where signals at the timer device pins accurately model realdevice signals but internal macromodel signals often bare no relation to those found in anactual device. Moreover, while developing the Qucs 555 model every attempt has beenmade to reduce the number of p-n junctions to a minimum, yielding both model simplicityand reduced circuit simulation times. The purpose of thework reported in this tutorial note has been to develop a 555 timer model from scratchwhich simulates efficiently, and is based only on the circuit components implemented inQucs 0.0.10. The current Qucs release does not include a model for the 555 timer. A block diagram of the mainfunctional elements that comprise the 555 timer is illustrated in Fig. At the heart ofthe 555 timer are two comparators and a set-reset flip flop. Most of the popular simulators include someform of 555 timer model, either built-in or as a subcircuit, which functions to some degree.These models usually include a number of p-n junctions and non-linear controlled sources,making simulation times longer than those obtained with simpler models. ![]() Such rapid changes can be the cause of simulatorDC convergence and transient analysis errors. During circuit operation it switches rapidlybetween two very different DC states4. ![]() The 555 timer is a difficult device to simulate. By adding one or twoexternal resistors and one capacitor the device can function as a monostable or astablepulse oscillator. The primary purpose of the 555 timer is the generationof accurately timed single pulse or oscillatory pulse waveforms. The 555 timer is one of the first examples of a mixed mode IC circuit that includes bothanalogue and digital components. Today it is still used in a wide range of circuit applications. ![]() Over the last 30 plus years more than ten differentsemiconductor chip production companies have made 555 parts, making it one of the mostpopular ICs of all time3.

In the course of becoming a 'science', the art of mapping oriented itself on standardised mathematical models. Lévy works at EPFL and is investigating the origins and the future of cartography, which is really also a 'language' – albeit a language that has, since the Renaissance, increasingly insisted that it is objective and absolute. A map is more than just "a conventional arrangement of data", writes the geographer Jacques Lévy in his article 'A Cartographic Turn?'. It was in this manner that cultural perspectives inserted themselves between the world and our images of it. This gave maps a temporal dimension besides their spatial aspect. ![]() They comprised the places relevant to the Christian history of salvation and other biblical motives. Maps were less an aid to spatial orientation than a demonstration of God's global reach. And the North wasn't at the top, but the East – because people thought that's where paradise lay. ![]() Occasionally, it was even Christ or the Cross that provided the form of maps. It was no longer the geometry of the world, but God who kept the world together. This was just as true for the Middle Ages in Christendom. The centre of the map always signified the centre of the world it was from this starting point that the Earth was conceived, and its boundaries defined and drawn. The symmetries of the early Greek maps, for example, reveal the teachings of their natural philosophy, and while their 'centres' were situated in Delphi or Alexandria – which were the centres of political and cultural power at the time – their midpoint later shifted towards Jerusalem. Even if their creations were far removed from what we would regard as a usable map today, they are all the more interesting for showing us how our mapped visions of the world are determined by 'paradigmatically predominant explanatory models' of the things and people in our global order. It reaches back into Classical times to investigate the concepts of Anaximander, Eratosthenes and Ptolemy. ![]() 'About projections' is the title of her study. And this is also why Greenland appears to be as big as Africa on these maps. This is why the same distance appears longer, the closer it is to one of the poles. The circles had been made into oval forms – and one could hardly offer a more striking demonstration of what the Mercator projection does to the world: it inflates its proportions, and does so the most towards the Arctic and Antarctic. Two weeks later, the Economist published a corrected version, according to which the Taepodong-2 was able to reach both Europe and the USA. In contrast to what the map suggests, the shortest path from Asia to the USA is not from west to east across the Pacific, but across the Arctic to the north. But this kind of map offers a poor depiction of the curvature of the Earth. The Economist had marked out the possible radius of the rockets on a map that was based on the Mercator projection. Today you can find the Economist's map in cartography textbooks as an example of how misleading the use of certain maps can be. That meant that all of Asia was in danger, as the map demonstrated – but the West was safe. Taepodong-2, the newest missile developed by North Korea, was supposedly able to transport a warhead over 9,000 miles. It did so with a map of the world on which distances were marked by concentric circles. The English magazine The Economist wanted to explain to its readers the danger that Pyongyang's nuclear missiles posed to the world. Es The year was 2003, the topic North Korea. |
