Can someone explain to me how this circuit works? The output voltage is ~2.4V. The zener diode breakdown is 4.7V. From what I can see the OUT is simply Vgate - Vgs = 4.33V - 1.85V = 2.48V. Is this correct and how do I determine the max current this circuit can supply?

In the category of modules over a ring $R$, we can define the direct sum of a set of modules. The direct sum of $\lbrace M_{i} \rbrace_{i\in I}$ is denoted by $$ \bigoplus_{i\in I} M_{i} \ .$$ My question is: If $I$ is the empty set, then is $ \bigoplus_{i\in I} M_{i}$ defined as $0$(the zero mod...

Consider the function $F(z) = e^{iz} / (z^2+1)^2$. To compute the residue of $F$ at $z_0=I$, one can compute the limit of the function $\frac{d}{dz} \left\{ (z-z_0)^2 \, F(z) \right\}$ as $z \to z_0$. Doing so, one indeed finds that the residue equals $-i / (2e)$. Now, I am trying to understand w...

I've always been under the impression that a block's timestamp represents the second at which a block was found.
