title: Linguistics of social media: An introduction to the special issue

authors: Calude, Andreea S.

abstract: It is hard to remember a world without social media (SM). The Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and bulletin boards of the 1980s and the popular early platforms of the 1990s, MySpace, AOL Messenger, and Facebook, gave rise to nothing short of an SM empire in just 50 years. Although we have been considering how language is used on the Internet for some time now, studying the language used on SM is comparatively a newer field of inquiry.

title: Cross-Needle Analog Meter to Monitor Charge
Time for Lithium-Ion Single Cell

authors: Scott, Jonathan B.

abstract: This manuscript describes a novel cross-needle analogmeter whose scale reads out voltage, current, and time remaining to reach full charge. The design is inspired by cross-needle Standing Wave Ratio(SWR) meters that read forward and reverse power. Voltage is displayed on an offset-zero linear scale, and current on a logarithmic scale from 1 mA to 10 A. Thisleads to a wide range of perceptible charge times and pleasantcharge-time contour lines. The prototype is implemented on a single PCB using a cheap PIC micro controller. It is scaled formonitoring a single 18650 lithium cell charged by a small solarpanel. The Novel contribution of this paper is the use of a crossneedleanalog meter with a third scale to measure time remaining to fully charge a Lithium-Ion single cell battery.
