Can I use logic inverter to drive low power indicator leds ? I want to use minimal amount of components. Idea is to get 2V for leds with a regulator and then directly drive the leds with a logic inverter. Input would be 1.8V or 3.3V. Leds would be Red XL-1608SURC-06. Voltage should be between 1.9...

Let $S^{n-1} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ denote the $(n-1)$-dimensional unit sphere. For $x \in S^{n-1}$ and $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$, we define the $\varepsilon$-spherical cap $S(x,\varepsilon)$ by: $S(x,\varepsilon) = \{ u \in S^{n-1}: \langle x,u \rangle \geq \varepsilon \}$ Let $\sigma$ denote the...

One of Clarke’s most well-known short stories is The Sentinel, which was a sort of precursor of 2001. It was written for “a BBC competition” in 1948 but wasn’t placed.

We know that for a sequence of real numbers $(a_n)$, the fact that $\lim_n a_n=a\neq 0$ is equivalent to saying that the generating function $\sum_n a_n t^n$ has radius of convergence $1$ and a pole at $t=1$ with residue $a$. Often if we expect a limit, we would like to think of the generating fu...

Consider a collection $A$ of positive sequences $x=(x_n)_{n\geq0}$. It is easy to see¹ that if $A$ is countable, then there exists a positive sequence $y$ such that $y=O(x)$ for every $x\in A$ (equivalently $y=o(x)$, equivalently $y_n\leq x_n$ for all $n\geq N_x$). If we allow $A$ to have the car...
