Q: Covering a smoke alarm horn

Picot MomentaTo clarify: the intent is to install a low frequency sounder beside the smoke alarm and use the low frequency sounder to meet the decibel requirements, as this will produce a less piercing tone. NFPA 72 permits fire alarm notification appliances to be used for this purpose. Therefore, it would be...

Q: Strange Shading Artifacts

Xinyu Sunny I'm fairly new to Blender modeling and I'm following a Blender Guru Chair Modeling Tutorial. At Some Point, I realized there were weird shading artifacts in my geometry, as you can see in the picture. I'm pretty sure there are no unnecessary vertices overlapped and the face that has shading prob...

Q: DIY pulse oximeter circuit - phototransistor shows no reading

macius_oI am trying to do a project using Raspberry Pi Pico H, that will work as a pulse oximeter. I have designed the circuit in the image (note: the exact pins on the photo might not match with the code because I have changed it several times, but trust me the pins in the code are what I have connected...

Q: How do I view my notification history on iOS?

StevoisiakEarlier today I noticed a notification appear in my iPhone's Notification Center. At the time I had something to do, so I didn't check it right away. A few minutes later, I went to check the notification center only to find the notification was gone before I had a chance to read it. Is there a wa...

Q: Firefox says image download from iCloud contains a virus or malware

user2153235I downloaded an image from iCloud, which ends up as a zip file containing a JPEG file and a MOV file. This is because the iPhone takes a motion image (MOV) over a brief interval of time, and then generates a JPEG still image. Firefox complained that the file contained malware, which required me ...

Q: How to set a PointerPropery in an Attributes node?

Noob CatSo I am aware that you can create a custom property directly in Blender, and use it into an Attribute Node, but in my case, I would like to try to use my pointerproperty as an Attribute, it is written in python and is of type Object. Here is how it is in Python: from bpy.props import PointerProp...

Q: How to keep meat in a dungeon fresh, preserved, and hot?

RhymehouseI'm making a universe where game tropes are justified. One of them is dungeon food. In many videogames, the protagonist can find meat behind breakable walls and all sorts of random areas. This food is always edible, never goes bad, and is in a great, hot condition. Pests also never reach and eat ...

I used the letters to show who is talking. I'm stumbled on how to take the last dialog exactly. The character seems to complain ...

Q: Voltage offset from op-amp inverting amplifier

user201341I'm trying to scale a digital I/O output from 0-3.3V to -1to-2V. I've decided to use an opamp inverter configuration so that 3.3V maps to -2V and 0V maps to -1V. This would give: Vout = -0.303 * Vin - 1 So I've designed the following schematic with a gain of 0.3: The input at R1 is connected to ...

Q: Elliptic Curves over finite field which contains Klein's-4 Group as a subgroup

ZetaF_2004So here's my question which I got from a practice problem set on Elliptic Curves. Let $E:y^2=x^3+ax+b$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_p$ ( $p$ is prime $>3$) For which polynomial $x^3+ax+b$ does $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ contain Klein's-4 group as a subgroup? My approach: I can figure out such c...

Q: What is the need for angle-action variables in describing integrable systems?

EthanI am currently reading Chapter 2 of Theoretical Astrophysics Vol 1 by T. Padmanabhan. Here he discusses integrable systems in Hamiltonian mechanics. The idea of angle action variables are introduced as a convenient tool to study integrable Hamiltonian systems. However I do not see the usefulness ...

Q: Fibers of generic smooth maps between manifolds of equal dimension

Matthew KvalheimI have heard that the following is a "well-known" Claim. Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth manifolds with equal dimensions and $M$ compact. Then a generic smooth map $f\colon M\to N$ has finite fibers, i.e., $f^{-1}(n)$ is a finite set for all $n\in N$. (Here "generic" is with respect to the $C^\infty$ t...

Q: Do I have the option of running cable for an electric dryer through either the attic or crawl space?

VincentMy dryer has its own 30 amp 240v circuit in the panel box, wired using a 10/2 Romex and 3-prong receptacle. I plan to replace the 10/2 Romex and 3-prong receptacle with 10/3 Romex and a 4-prong receptacle for better safety. Currently, when coming out of the panel box, this 10/2 cable is bundled w...

Q: How could a city build a circular canal?

EkulnagromWithin my setting, magic exists as a system of writing that has to be encased within a circle. Usually, these circles aren't any larger than the writer's hand. However, the primary villain of the novel is attempting to create a magic circle large enough to affect a continent, and plans to do so b...

Q: Is there some conditions to get Price of Midas, or is it just really, really, rare?

People online seem to say that it really is just rare, even in the first game, but might there be conditions attached to finding it? ...

The girl's kite gets trapped on a tree, and she asks Hans to climb on the tree and free that kite. Hans refuses to do that unle...

Q: Existence of norm 1 vector in Hilbert space that gives distance via inner product

Then there exists a unique $z\in Y^\perp$ with $\| z \| =1$ and $\langle z,x \rangle = dist(x,Y)$. I know that I can find a unique vector $y\in Y$ with $dist(x,Y)$ and ...
