Control Inputs & Outputs
Gate In. Positive input. +4.0V to +12V for gate on. Gate In is usually used along with CV In to play the x0xb0x from an external device. When a patch cable is plugged in both the internal sequencer and the external input can turn on the gate. -15V to 15V input will not damage the unit but extreme voltages should be avoided.
CV In. The CV input allows external control of the pitch of the notes being played. The x0xb0x uses 1V/Oct where +1V is equal to note C1 - corresponding to 65.4Hz. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When a patch cable is inserted into the jack the internal CV is bypassed. There is CV protection against negative voltage and over-voltage.
Acc In. Positive input. +2.5V to +12V for Accent on. Negative voltage up to -15V will not damage the x0xb0x but will not trigger an accent and should be avoided. Accents will be triggered by both the internal sequencer and the external input. Typically this input would be controlled by a CV from other analog gear or from the velocity output from a MIDI to CV converter.
Sld In. Positive input. +2.5V to +12V for Slide on. With the x0xb0x/TB-303 Slide function the gate is also open when a slide is held. Anything over +4V will initiate a slide and hold the gate open for normal 303 operation. Input between +2.5V and +4v will only trigger a slide and not open the gate. Negative voltage up to -15V will not damage the x0xb0x but will not trigger a slide and should be avoided. Slides will be triggered by both the internal sequencer and the external input. Typically this input would be controlled by a CV from other analog gear or from an aux output from a MIDI to CV converter.
Filter CV In. This is the filter modulation input. It is 1V/Oct. Input between 0V and +6V is more than enough range to cover several octaves. Because of the biasing initiated by components Q9, R64, & R65 the resting voltage of filter cutoff is +3.25V. Any CV input lower than this will decrease cutoff frequency. Anything higher than this will increase cutoff frequency. For example, a CV input of 4.25V will increase the filter cutoff about one octave. The input will take anything from 0 to +10V. Anything above +10V or below 0V should be avoided. The filter modulation source can be any CV or audio input, perhaps an envelope generator or low frequency oscillator from other analog gear or an audio input from the x0xb0x or external gear.
Swp Out. This jack gives a direct copy of the accent sweep signal normalized to 0V. This is the short burst (wow) envelope that affects filter cutoff on accents.
Acc Out. The Accent Out feature is optional. When wired up there is +5V on the tip of the headphone jack. It can be used to trigger accents on a second x0xb0x/TB-303 or to trigger velocity or other gate functions on other hardware. For example, it could be used to control the gate in on another piece of gear so that notes only play on accents.
Audio Inputs & Outputs
VCO Out. This is the output of the VCO. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When a patch cable is inserted into this jack the circuit is opened between the VCO output and the VCF input. The signal level of this output is in the range of 1 to 3 Vrms. It can be used for several purposes. One use would be to process the x0xb0x waveform with external hardware such as an effects processor, delay, modular gear, etc… before possibly returning it the VCF or VCA input.
VCF In. This is a direct audio input to the VCF. It is ac-coupled and is suitable for most line level signals – preferably in the range of 500mV to 2V. This is where you would input external audio signals to be processed by the x0xb0x filter (and VCA, output mixer & overdrive if desired), or where you could return the x0b0x waveform that was taken from the VCO Out jack.
VCF Out. This is the output of the VCF. The signal level varies depending on VCO level and cutoff & resonance settings but is typically 500 mVrms. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When a patch cable is inserted the circuit is opened between the VCF output and VCA input. This is done so that you don’t get the original VCF signal mixed into the VCA if you are taking the VCF Out signal and returning it to the VCA already. If you’re using the VCF Out signal and also want to send it to the VCA simply route it back in to the VCA Input jack.
VCA Input. This jack is a direct audio input to the VCA. It is ac-coupled and is suitable for most line level signals – preferably in the range of 500mV to 2V. If you’re using the VCA input and don’t want to hear the output from the VCF simply plug a patch cable into the VCF Out jack. The external signal also passes through the Overdrive as well since it is post-VCA.
On/Off. When in the off position the overdrive circuit is bypassed. When in the on position the x0xb0x output is sent to the overdrive circuit. This is post-volume control so the volume control is used to drive the input of the overdrive.
Type. This switch selects between overdrive and distortion. When in the up position overdrive is selected. When in the down position distortion is selected.
Amount. Controls the amount of overdrive or distortion.
Tone. Controls the mid & high frequency tone of the overdrive or distortion.
Low Freq. This switch selects between three different low frequency contours. The up position is the moderate setting. The down position gives more low frequency. The middle position gives the least low frequency. In the case of the Distortion circuit it affects the color of the mid and low-mid frequencies more-so than the lower frequencies.
Bass Response. The low frequency response is increased approximately one octave to 35 Hz.
VCF Range. Both the low range and high range of the filter cutoff frequency is increased. The lowest cutoff frequency is lowered from 400 Hz to 80 Hz. The highest cutoff frequency is increased from 1.2 kHz to 3.5 kHz. In addition, activating the Filter Hi Range switch increases it further to 14 kHz (especially useful when using the VCF input with a full-range signal).
Env Mod Range. The range of Env Mod is changed to give no modulation when the Env Mod control is at the minimum setting.
VCO FM. This is a frequency modulation (FM) input to the VCO. It is ac-coupled and is used for audio rate frequency modulation. It is expecting a line level signal in the range of 100mV to 1V.
Filter Hi Range. When this button is on the maximum cutoff frequency is increased to 14 kHz.
ENV2 to VCO2 Switch. This is only used with the full x0xi0 mod. See the full manual for details. With the I/O-only mod this SPDT slide switch is free to be used for any additional mod.
Details & Circuit Description
Control Inputs & Outputs
Gate In. The signal from the tip of the Gate In jack goes to the base of Q37 through R326. The turn-on threshold is +4.0V. Both the internal sequencer and the external input can turn on the gate. -15V to 15V input will not damage the unit but extreme voltages should be avoided.
CV In. The CV input allows external control of the pitch of the notes being played. The x0xb0x uses 1V/Oct where 1V is equal to note C1 - corresponding to 65.4Hz. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When a patch cable is inserted into the jack the internal CV is bypassed. More specifically, the internal CV input coming from the node of R88/R89/R90 goes to the switched jack so as when there’s no patch cable inserted the signal continues to the tip of the jack. The tip of the jack then goes to pin 5 of IC11, the slide buffer. In the case of the full x0xi0 mod the tip of the CV In jack goes to the slide time circuit, which then goes to pin 5 of IC11. In either case the trace on the x0xb0x mainboard between R88/R89/R90 and IC11 Pin 5 is cut. CV In is protected from negative voltage by D307 – which shunts any negative voltage to ground. D308 and R328 protect it from over-voltage. D308 is a 6.2V zener diode. If the CV In exceeds the zener voltage the diode will conduct and limit the input voltage. R328 current limits from constant or extreme over-voltage so the zener diode doesn’t burn out.
Acc In. The threshold to trigger an accent is +2.5V. The signal from the tip of the Acc In jack goes to R329 and then Q302. The emitter of Q302 goes to the base of Q35 so that both the external input and internal sequencer can trigger accents. The signal at Pin 12 of IC13 and the emitter of Q302 is 0V on accents and 5V when no accent. Q35 and related circuitry inverts the polarity of the accent input so that there will be ~10V at the collector of Q35 on accents. This 10V goes to a control input on the 4066 analog switch (IC12) which effectively allows the filter envelope signal to pass through. This copy of the filter envelope then goes to the accent pot. The accent pot controls the depth of the filter envelope which is the sent to the VCA and to the accent sweep circuit.
Slide In. The threshold to trigger a slide is +2.5V. The signal from the tip of the Slide In jack goes through R331 to the base of Q29. Both the internal sequencer and external input can trigger a slide. The external slide input also goes to R330 to the base of Q37 to open the gate during slides for standard TB-303 operation. The value of R330 is set to open the gate with an input voltage over 4V. So anything between +2.5V and +4V will trigger the Slide In circuit only and not open the gate. Anything over +4V will trigger the slide circuit and open the gate.
Filter CV In. The tip of this jack goes through R332 to the filter CV input. The input is 1V/Oct. The usable range is typically 0V to +8V. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When no patch cable is inserted the tip is connected to the ac ground of the filter control input to eliminate the possibility of noise coming in through the floating tip of the unused connection. The final filter cutoff frequency is determined by several factors. First is the position of the cutoff pot. Second is the settings of all the other sources for filter modulation, including Env Mod, the accent sweep, and the Filter CV In. Additional sources for filter modulation with the full x0xi0 kit include VCO to FM, Filter Tracking, and ENV2 to Filter Mod. One important thing to be aware of is that the Filter CV input has a resting voltage of +3.25V because of the bias voltage created by Q9, R64 & R65. Keeping this in mind you will find that filter frequency will decrease with an external CV input that is less then 3.25V and increase with anything greater than 3.25V (assuming all other sources of filter mod are inactive). Biasing the filter modulation input was implemented in the TB-303 to increase the effectiveness of envelope modulation (ENV MOD). Since the TB-303 is primarily a bass machine, Roland decided it would be more useful for the filter envelope to be able to decrease the cutoff frequency as the depth of the filter envelope is increased, rather than just increase it to higher frequencies with less interesting higher harmonics. If you were to scope the filter envelope at the emitter of Q40 you would see that it shoots up to an amplitude of about 9V and decays to a minimum of about 0.7V. This signal then goes to the Env Mod pot before going to the filter mod summing node. At lower settings of the Env Mod pot (VR5) this bias voltage has a greater influence on the filter envelope signal, as the ratio of the resistance between pin 2 and pin 3 of the pot versus pin 1 and pin 2 becomes greater. This effectively offsets it more towards 3.25V rather than 0.7V. As the Env Mod pot is increased the less influence the bias voltage has on the filter envelope.
Swp Out. Accent Sweep was a term coined by Robin Whittle to name the filter sweep that is derived from the filter envelope during accents. This is the circuit based around D24, R46, C13, and the second gang of the resonance pot (VR4). When there’s an accent the control lines of the 4066 analog switch (pins 5 & 13) go high and the filter envelope goes to the accent pot. The accent pot determines the depth of the filter envelope that is sent to the VCA and the accent sweep circuit. It is sent to the VCA through R119, C36, and R22. The signal is attenuated and smoothed by R119, R120 & C36 and sent to the VCA control input. This is what makes accented notes louder. It is sent to the sweep circuit consisting of C13, R47, D24, and VR4. From looking at these components on the schematic you can see that at lower settings of resonance the sweep signal at pin 2 of the resonance pot is pretty much a direct copy of the filter envelope since all the signal goes from the accent pot to D24/R46 and straight to R72 to the summing node of the filter CV input. As resonance is increased C13 will be charged and discharged by the arrangement of D24, R46 and the voltage divider formed by the resonance pot between signal going straight to filter cutoff and that going to C13. The charging and discharging of C13 gives the rounding off of the attack and decay of the filter envelope signal and becomes the sweep signal. The signal at the Swp Out jack is a direct copy of this accent sweep normalized to 0V. The arrangement around IC304b simply creates a DC offset for the accent sweep signal. The resting voltage for this output is ~10mV (when calibrated with TM301). This was done to make it more compatible with external hardware. Normally the resting voltage of the filter sweep signal is ~3.4V. Since the sweep signal normally varies between 3.4V and 6V, taking a direct copy of it would eliminate most of the useful range when used as a control voltage. Below shows the normal accent sweep signal and the offset version that is available on the Swp Out jack :
The amplitude of the sweep signal is typically between 0v and 3v depending on the position of the accent and resonance controls. This output can be used just like any other CV to control filter modulation, frequency modulation, velocity, etc…
Acc Out. The accent signal from the collector of Q35 goes to the junction of R346 & R347. The other side of R347 goes to the new +12V supply. When there is no accent the collector of Q35 is 0V so the node between R346, R347, and D309 is also 0V. When the collector of Q35 is ~10V the voltage at this node goes to ~6V based on the values chosen for R346 and R347.
Audio Inputs & Outputs
VCO Out. This is the output the VCO (or VCO1 & VCO2 if you installed the full x0xi0 mod). This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When a patch cable is inserted into this jack the circuit is opened between the VCO Output and the VCF Input. The signal level of the VCO output is generally in the range of 1 to 3 Vrms. The output impedance is 22k. C17 is an ac-coupling cap. The value of R342 is set to maintain the same signal level to the filter as the stock x0xb0x when no patch cable is plugged into the jack.
VCF In. This is an external audio input to the VCF. Connections Q and R are placeholders for the full x0xi0 mod as there is a level control for the VCF Input on the top panel. This input uses a switched jack that is normally-closed. When no patch is inserted the Noise signal from the main mod (when installed) is sent through connection Q to the level control. When a patch cable is inserted the white noise signal is disabled and the external input is sent to the VCF. When installing the x0xi0 I/O mod only there is jumper placed between connections Q and R since there is no level control. The input is ac-coupled by C323. The input impedance is 22k and is compatible with signals in the range of 500mV to 2V.
VCF Out. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. When no patch cable is plugged in the VCF Out signal is sent to the VCA for normal operation. The value of R334 is chosen to give the correct signal level to the VCA when no patch cable is inserted. When a patch cable is inserted the VCF output is available on the tip of the jack and the circuit is open between the VCF and VCA. The output impedance is 47k. The VCF output is typically around 500mV.
VCA In. This is a switched jack that is normally-closed. The VCA input is very sensitive since the VCA is high gain, so when there is no patch cable inserted the VCA input is grounded. C327 is an ac-coupling cap. R345 is chosen so that the input to the VCA is compatible with signal levels in the range of 100mV to 1V.
The goal of the overdrive was to provide a lot of adjustability to achieve a broad range of sounds without the need to reach for other overdrive or distortion boxes. It would not have made much sense to integrate a simple overdrive without the additional controls as you would most likely still find the need to use external gear. In addition to controls for Amount, Tone, and Low Frequency contour, the overdrive also integrates two completely independent circuits selectable with the Type switch. It has an overdrive and a distortion. Double pole switches and dual gang pots were used for the Amount, Tone, and Low Freq controls so they work double duty for both circuits. In this way there is a big range of sonic character. The overdrive and distortion circuits are completely independent so there is no overlap in the resulting sound. The overdrive circuit will be described first.
SW301 selects whether the signal is sent to the overdrive or bypassed. When in the off position the overdrive circuit is completely bypassed and the signal from the x0xb0x mixer stage is sent directly to the mixout jack. When the on/off switch is turned on the signal is sent to SW302, which selects between the overdrive and distortion circuits. IC303 is a rail splitter that takes the output from the new 12V supply and creates a bias voltage of 6V. C330 is a bypass cap for the bias voltage to reduce any noise in the bias voltage. The circuit based around IC301a is the clipping stage. It is a non-inverting op amp with a gain control and clipping elements in the feedback loop. The overdrive Amount control (VR301) varies the gain between 1 and 200. D301, D302 & D303 are the clipping elements. The input signal is clipped as it is amplified and exceeds the forward voltage of the diodes. The diodes are placed in both directions so they clip on both positive and negative halves of the waveform. This circuit is generally referred to as an overdrive since the diodes are in the feedback path of the gain stage. Placing the diodes in the feedback loop results in what is generally referred to as soft-clipping since the non-inverting op amp always has at least unity-gain regardless of how much the diodes conduct, since the output of the non-inverting amp adds the input signal to the clipped signal. The overdrive circuit is placed post-VCA so the volume control is used to drive the overdrive – just like if you were using an external stomp box. The output of the x0xb0x can be anywhere from a few mV to 3V peak to peak or more. This is important to note since the behavior of the overdrive will vary depending on the signal level at the input to the overdrive. With normal setting and the volume control at the 3 o’clock position the output of the x0xb0x is usually around 2V peak to peak. Since the turn-on threshold of the diodes is around 0.5V to 1V it is easy to imagine that the subtlety of the soft-clipping will transition to more of a harder clipping as the overdrive amount is turned up, especially as the op amp itself starts to hit the supply rails. R302, C304, C305 & C306 create a high-pass filter in the gain stage. SW303 allows for selection between three different low frequency contours. The frequency response measurement for each position of the switch is shown below:
After the clipping stage there is a tone control stage to manage the mid to high frequency response. R304 and C308 create a first-order low pass filter at 1 kHz. IC301b, VR302 and related circuitry is an active tone control. The values for the tone control (VR302) and surrounding components have been chosen to give a wide range of tone. The frequency response for min, mid, & max settings is shown below:
The output of IC301b goes to an ac coupling cap C321 and then to the SW302. The second pole of SW302 then goes to SW301. The second pole of SW301 goes to the output of the x0xb0x.
The distortion circuit is selected when SW302 is in the down position. Q301 and related circuitry is a discrete gain stage. IC302b is another gain stage with a gain determined by the setting of the Amount control (VR301). C313 rolls off some high frequencies. Since it is placed in the feedback loop the cutoff frequency decreases with increased gain (as the ratio of resistance on each side of the amount pot is varied as gain is adjusted). After the gain stage are the clipping diodes D305 and D306. Contrary to overdrive designs, distortion circuits generally place the clipping diodes after the gain stage connected to ground, as opposed to the feedback loop. Placing diodes to ground after the gain stage results in what is generally referred to as hard-clipping since the entire signal is clipping after the gain stage. VR301, R319 and C314 create a first order high-pass filter. The cutoff frequency is dependant on the position of the VR301.The higher the setting of VR301 the higher the cutoff frequency, although the cutoff frequency is set low enough in this circuit that the low frequency response doesn’t change much for different settings of the Amount control. The low frequency characteristic is determined mostly by the C310 and C312. With higher settings of the Amount control the op amp can run out of headroom and will clip at the supply rails, this is part o the design. After the gain stage R320 and C316 create a first order low-pass filter. This takes some more of the edge off the higher harmonics of the overdriven signal. VR302 and the surrounding components create a passive tone control. R323 & C320 form a low-pass filter and C317, C318, C319, R321, R322 form a high-pass filter. The high-pass and low-pass sections are weighted by the setting of Tone control. Below is the frequency response with the Tone control set at the min, mid, and max settings:
The Low Freq switch changes the contour of the mid and low-mid frequencies by changing the characteristic of the high-pass filter section of the tone control. The up position retains a slightly scooped response by adding component C318 in parallel with C317. The middle position increases the scooped response and raises the center frequency by raising the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter by de-selecting C318 & C319. The down position gives more of a flat frequency response by changing the high-pass filter by adding component C319 in parallel with C317. Below is the frequency response for the three settings of the Low Freq switch:
An effort was made to keep noise down as much as possible. Overdrive and distortion circuits can get quite noisy because of the high amount of gain, as the dynamic range of the signal is compressed and the noise is amplified during the gain stages. I’ve made a point of using low noise components and managing the gain structure to work well with the x0xb0x. However, I have still allowed for extreme amounts of gain for those who want to get a really filthy sound and there will still be audible noise at the max settings (this is especially true for the distortion circuit). Varying the settings for the volume, tone, and amount controls will greatly change the character of the distorted signal.
One important detail I have noticed after testing several x0xb0x’s is that there can be a lot of clicking if the VCA happens to have a lot of DC offset. BA662A’s generally good, BA662B’s are always bad, and BA6110’s vary from good to bad. This clicking is amplified during the overdrive or distortion stages and can get quite annoying in some cases. If you hear a lot of popping or clicking it is most likely the VCA.
There are a few additional things to note about the distortion circuit. When the x0xb0x level control is near max there will always be some distortion even if the Amount control is set to minimum. This is because the discrete gain stage is still clipping since it is before the op amp variable gain stage. Try adjusting the x0xb0x level control to something less than the maximum setting if you want a less harsh distortion. Also, it may go without saying, but instead of always maxing out the controls try adjusting the settings of the Amount control, the Tone control and the x0xb0x level control to greatly change the character of the distortion. One last thing to note is that the output level of the distortion circuit is less than the overdrive. I’ve purposely adjusted the levels so they are somewhat close but the output of the distortion will always be lower because there is no gain stage after the clipping diodes – only a passive tone control, so the once the signal is compressed by the behavior of the clipping diodes the signal level is lowered.
Bass Response. The low frequency response has been extended by one octave from 70Hz to 35Hz. If less bass is needed you can cut low frequency on the mixing board or within your digital audio workstation or wave editor. Leaving the bass response stock and trying to recover more low frequency later by using equalization would not be the ideal way to increase the low frequency response. The high-pass filter is before the VCA and there are distortions that occur in the VCA, output mixer, and overdrive, so it’s not equivalent to boost the low frequency at the final output of the x0xb0x. Below is the frequency response of a stock x0xb0x versus the new extended response:
VCF Range. The high range of the filter is increased from about 1.2 kHz to 3.5 kHz by simply setting TM3 to its lowest setting (full clockwise). The low range of the filter is also extended by replacing R47 with a lower resistance. This changes the minimum cutoff frequency from about 400 Hz to 80 Hz. Below is the frequency response for min and max cutoff for both the new settings and the stock settings:
Env Mod Range. R61 is replaced with a 0 Ohm resistor to give no envelope modulation when VR5 is set to minimum.
VCO FM. An audio signal can be input on the ring of the MIXIN jack to frequency modulate the VCO. C325 is a coupling cap. IC304a and R338, R339 and R340 form an inverting amplifier to amplify the input signal so that it can modulate the VCO to a greater amount. The signal is biased to the 6V supply to allow it to work on single supply. The output of the op amp goes to the frequency modulation input of the VCO through R341 and another coupling cap C326.
Filter Hi Range. This is a DPDT switch. One pole simply inserts R348 in parallel with R73 to increase the maximum cutoff frequency of the filter. The second pole is used to turn on an LED on the top panel when the switch is engaged. It is not used with the I/O only mod. When installing the full mod connection G goes to the top panel mod. When the switch is on the maximum filter cutoff frequency is increased to 14 KHz. The filter can start to become unstable with higher settings of resonance. The frequency response for both positions of the switch is shown below:
ENV2 to VCO2 Switch. This switch determines whether the ENV2 to VCO amount control on the full x0xi0 mod is sent to VCO2. By default it is hard-wired to VCO1 only. This switch is not used on the x0xi0 I/O only kit and can be used for any other mod.

Understanding the Basics of Range Finding
Before diving into the specific techniques, it is crucial to grasp the fundamentals of range finding. Range finders work by emitting a laser beam towards the target and measuring the time it takes for the beam to bounce back.
By calculating the time it takes for the beam to travel to the target and return, the range finder determines the distance between the user and the target accurately. Most range finders display the distance measurement on a digital screen or through the viewfinder.
Range finders often come with different modes to cater to various situations. Some common modes include standard mode, scan mode, and pin-seeking mode.
In standard mode, you aim at a single target and press the button to get a distance reading. Scan mode is useful when you need continuous distance readings while panning across multiple targets. Pin-seeking mode is specifically designed for golfers, helping them lock onto the flagstick amidst background clutter.
Tips for Accurate Measurements
To ensure accurate measurements with your range finder, consider the following tips:
- Stability and Positioning: When using a range finder, stabilize your hands and maintain a steady grip to minimize any shaking or movement. This will help prevent inaccurate readings caused by unnecessary motion. Additionally, position yourself in a stable and comfortable stance, allowing for better target acquisition and distance measurement.

Many range finders have a built-in feature that allows you to adjust for slope, providing you with the true horizontal distance. This compensates for the angle and ensures more accurate distance measurements.
- Reflective Targets: Keep in mind that range finders work best when targeting objects with reflective surfaces. Smooth, reflective surfaces provide a more distinct and accurate return signal, resulting in more precise distance readings. In contrast, non-reflective or transparent objects may be more challenging for the range finder to measure accurately.
Range Finding Techniques for Specific Activities
For golfers, range finders are invaluable tools for accurately measuring distances to various points on the course. When using a range finder for golfing, follow these techniques:
- Picking Targets: Identify your target, such as the flagstick or hazards, and aim the range finder accordingly.
- Scanning Mode: Utilize the scan mode to get continuous distance readings while scanning across multiple targets.
- Pin-Seeking Mode: If your range finder has a pin-seeking mode, use it to lock onto the flagstick and obtain precise distance measurements.
Hunters rely on range finders to determine the distance between themselves and their prey. Consider the following techniques when using a range finder for hunting:
- Scouting: Before the hunt, use your range finder to scout the area and identify landmarks that can serve as reference points for distance measurement.
- Quick Measurements: In fast-paced hunting situations, practice quick and accurate range-finding techniques to ensure you make ethical shots.
Archers use range finders to calculate the distance between themselves and their targets, ensuring precise arrow trajectory. Follow these techniques when using a range finder for archery:
- Single Target Mode: Use the standard mode to focus on a single target and obtain accurate distance measurements.
- Accounting for Angle: If shooting from elevated positions or on uneven terrain, adjust for the angle to calculate the true horizontal distance.
Precision shooters rely on range finders to determine bullet drop and make necessary adjustments for long-range shots. Consider the following techniques when using a range finder for shooting:
- Ballistic Mode: Some range finders have a ballistic mode that calculates bullet drop and provides the necessary adjustments for different distances.
- Averaging Multiple Measurements: For increased accuracy, take multiple distance measurements and average them to compensate for any potential errors.

Huawei has announced that many new technologies will be used in upcoming smartwatches that are supposed to offer real added value in everyday life. This includes measuring blood sugar, blood pressure and EKGs. The former as a non-invasive solution that will make life easier for many people.
Huawei Wants to Monitor Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure and ECG With a Smartwatch
Smartwatches are no longer just watches that can display notifications and measure the pulse, they are almost becoming medical products. Apple drove the trend, now Huawei seems to be moving into the fast lane. At the “China Medical Development Conference” in Beijing, Xu Wenwei, Huawei’s Research & Development Director, explained the next steps for smartwatches – reports Notebookcheck. Accordingly, Huawei wants to create the non-invasive way of continuously measuring blood sugar in the future. So far it has been the case that you needed some blood to measure your blood sugar. This would make life so much easier for people who have to test their blood sugar regularly.
Apple has also been working on a way to measure blood sugar using Apple Watch for several years but has so far failed because of the major obstacles that a non-invasive solution brings with it. The technology could not be built into an Apple Watch until 2022 at the earliest, and Huawei could anticipate this. In addition to measuring blood sugar, Huawei also wants to have blood pressure and ECG measured continuously with a smartwatch. That would also be a big step compared to current models, where you have to measure blood pressure or an EKG manually. The Chinese company could monitor the body permanently without people having to pull themselves up to measure blood pressure or take an EKG.
How Does Huawei Intend to do That?
Anyone who owns a smartwatch with blood pressure measurement or EKG function knows that manual use is not that easy. You have to sit down quietly and take a measurement for several seconds. In addition, the results often vary greatly. If Huawei wants to achieve a measurement with correct results, the technology must really work properly . If approval as a medical product is sought, the requirements for this are also very high. It will be exciting to see if that works. It would definitely take smartwatches to the next level as a result.

Congratulations to Woodham Biotechnology Holdings, LLC!
Posted in / Patents / - on October 29, 2017
Congratulations to Woodham Biotechnology Holdings, LLC for receiving its second and most critical patent for its breakthrough technology involving protein electrophoresis. For decades, scientists have gone through a tedious two step process of first separating proteins, followed by protein blotting of the results of the first step. Gels used in the first step can fall apart or be damaged when they are removed from an electrophoresis machine, resulting in destruction of the sample. When the sample is destroyed, scientists must return to the time consuming preparation of new protein samples, which can be problematic when, for example, the original protein sample is very small and was isolated from a large volume of starting material or rare starting material that may be difficult to obtain. Dr. Woodham combined the two steps with an ingenious use of conductive polymers to permit the lateral transfer of the sample to the blotting material after the electrophoretic separation step has been completed, thereby eliminating the dangerous step of removing the gel in order to create the protein blot. This invention represents a large step forward in protein electrophoresis.


The grip properties of the road surface are a very important indicator from the point of view of traffic safety. We use the Norwegian-made ViaFriction device to measure the grip factor. The device is mounted on a trailer with a water tank and a measuring head with a measuring wheel attached to the rear of the trailer. The working principle of the device consists in measuring the forces generated by the braking of the measuring wheel. When measuring the summer grip factor, the methodology also includes creating a layer of water on the road surface in front of the measuring wheel. When measuring the winter grip factor, a tire with a different pattern is installed on the measuring wheel and water is not used in the measurement.
We regularly calibrate the device in calibration tests organized by the Norwegian Road Administration (Statens Vegvesen), where the reference device is the specially developed device Oscar.
See here for information on measuring the winter friction with the Eltrip measuring device.

According to the requirements, the premises and equipment used in hairdressing must be kept clean and disinfected. Prophylactic disinfection reduces microbial contamination of surfaces, furniture, equipment, hairdressing tools and work clothes. It is necessary to acquire effective disinfectants and implement them correctly. In our new article, we are writing how to properly handle hairdressing tools.
The most reliable method of disinfection is sterilization, which involves heat treatment, but it is not mandatory for the entire list of instruments. Sterilization requires special equipment (for example, a special device for a dry sterilisation), which works according to the heat treatment method. Devices that contact the skin and can damage it are subject to mandatory sterilization.
Also, there is a chemical sterilization- cleaning and disinfection with special chemical compounds that exclude any pathogenic flora. Chemicals sterilize without high temperatures.
Chemical treatment of equipment that does not need sterilization is carried out using disinfectant solutions with a complex effect. Such compositions are used for:
Destroy bacteria, fungi, viruses;
Prevent the growth of microorganisms;
Destroy spores and waste products of microorganisms.
Sterilizing equipment and high-quality chemical disinfectants used both, independently and during procedures (for example, during an ultrasonic cleaning), and are a must-have items for hairdressers. This is a guarantee of the health and safety.
Mechanical cleaning, chemical disinfection of hairdressing instruments are recommended after / before each customer. Each master should have at least two sets of accessories to provide time for antiseptic processing.
Mechanical cleaning means removing hair and dust with a brush or rinsing in running water. The next step is to treat the instrument with special solutions (chemical disinfection). In this case, it is possible to completely immerse the tool in the disinfectant composition, or by spraying it. The choice of method depends on the instrument itself and the characteristics of the disinfectant.


Small Bowel Pill Camera
Capsule endoscopy is a way to record images of the digestive tract for use in medicine. The capsule is the size and shape of a pill and contains a tiny camera. After a patient swallows the capsule, it takes pictures of the inside of the gastrointestinal tract. The primary use of capsule endoscopy is to examine areas of the small intestine that cannot be seen by other types of endoscopy such as colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The technique was invented in Japan. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001. In early 2014, FDA approved a new swallowable pill camera, 'PillCam Colon' by Given Imaging from Israel, which takes high-speed photos over an 8 hour tour in the innards and transmits the images to a receiver on a belt.

A few images from my travels through Chile this past December. Featured here are locations in the Atacama Desert, including Valle de la Luna, Salar de Atacama and Mano del Desierto. There are also two images from Santiago, which happen to be the final shots I captured with my D600 before having it taken from me at knifepoint a couple days later in Valparaiso. Fortunately, I had a back-up camera and was able to capture the trip north into the Atacama.

Situated in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, at 2,635m above sea level exists the Paranal Observatory. Operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the site contains mankind’s most advanced optical instrument, the Very Large Telescope (VLT), as well as a number of other state-of-the-art auxiliary and survey telescopes – most notably the VLT Survey Telescope and VISTA.
The VLT itself is comprised of four unit telescopes, which in 2011 gained the ability to work together to create the VLT Interferometer; an instrument that allows astronomers to see details up to 25 times greater than the individual telescopes can alone. Needless to say, the results offer a staggeringly beautiful view of our cosmos.
You can view many more Paranal Observatory and ESO images on the ESO website. A short film comprised of time lapses from the Paranal Observatory was also released last year. This is embedded below. Fullscreen that mother.

Having access to great technology enables us to provide you with a faster and more accurate diagnosis, so we can then recommend the very best treatments to correct any dental problems without delays.
Our facility includes
• Digital x-rays that emit low levels of radiation
• Intraoral cameras so you get to see what we can see
• Surgical Microscope and Magnifying loupes with additional illumination
• Digital OPG (full-face x-ray)
• Implant planning software for CT-guided implant placement
• Caries detector
• Digital Scanner
The use of digital x-rays not only reduces radiation exposure but with higher resolution and speed of processing where you can visualise in real-time, it improves our ability to identify early dental decay and other issues.
We regularly use intra-oral cameras to take highly detailed digital photos inside the mouth. We may use an intraoral camera if we detect a particular problem, as the images can be displayed straightaway on the screen in our dental surgery so you can see exactly what is going on inside your mouth, enabling us to show you areas of concern as we discuss options for treatment.
Microscopes allow our dentist to see areas being treated in far greater detail, even up to 20 times the original size, so we can make sure all infection or decay is thoroughly removed in hard-to-see areas. This helps us to carry out intricate and detailed treatment than would be possible without them. Usually found only in highly specialised practices, we are proud to say that we are the first practice in the region to have access to this technology and Dr PK has been performing microscope assisted procedures since 2007.
You will find that all our dentists use magnifying loupes with additional illumination at all times while treating patients. We believe that this standard of care enables us to provide quality dentistry. The availability of an on-site digital OPG (Full face x-ray machine) eliminates the need for the patients to be referred out causing further delays in diagnosis and necessary treatment. Our implant planning software helps us virtually plan implant placement and reduces the risk of surgical complications and improves the long-term outcome. A caries detector acts as a good adjunct to x-rays when trying to diagnose tooth decay. It utilises laser fluorescence to detect hard to find hidden decay.
We at Northern Beaches Dental are constantly evolving to help our patients receive the best treatment. One of the ways we are doing this is with the latest digital impression system technology which helps in getting a 3-D digital scan or picture of your teeth in real time. It is a great alternative to using impression products inside your mouth. What we achieve is a faster, accurate digital file of your teeth and gums which can be used in an array of treatments like crowns and bridges, implant planning, digital smile design and much more!

The SeQual Eclipse 5 is the newest and most improved upon in the Eclipse line by SeQual. It has the same great features, oxygen settings and battery life as the Eclipse 3, only with better overall power and the ability to run on DC power and charge at the same time. If you are looking to get an Eclipse, this would be the one to get. This is a portable oxygen concentrator that provides a wide range of both continuous flow and pulse dose oxygen settings.
The continuous flow doses are from 0.5 to 3 LPM (Liters Per Minute) in increments of 0.5, so this is an ideal portable concentrator for those who need a very specific dosage to stay saturated comfortably. The pulse doses range from 16 to 192 mL in 6 settings, so most people who need pulse dose oxygen with have their needs met by the Eclipse 5.


This testing measures the presence and level of residual solvents in cannabis products that can persist following liquid and some gas extractions. Verifying the absence or acceptable level of these remaining solvents in your products helps ensure that they are safe for human consumption and use.
Clinical Science Laboratory tests for 13 residual solvents. These include the following: Acetone, Acetonitrile, Butane, Ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, Ethyl Ether, Heptane, n-Hexane, Isopropyl Alcohol, Methanol, n-Pentane, n-Propane, and Toluene. We utilize Head-space gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (HS-GC-FID) to isolate and quantify these compounds in tested samples.
Residual solvents are exactly as they sound – leftover solvents that remain in a cannabis product (such as CBD oils and tinctures) following extraction. Many of the solvents are toxic to humans, even in dilute amounts; others, while not particularly toxic, may be undesired in the final product as they may change the aromatic and taste profile of the products. Clinical Science Laboratory can detect and quantify levels of residual solvents in hemp samples to ensure maximum safety of the product.

Due to the increasing use of alternative energy for producing electricity, there is an increasing demands for reliable, flexible and environment friendly power generation. Electricity and heat guided CHP is a perfect approach to fulfil this demands. If CHP are used to produce electricity at peak demands only, their electric efficiency has a much higher priority compared to heat guided CHP’s.
Doğu Motor has developed a concept for small to medium power CHP’s which offers a significant increase in efficiency. This is realized by an innovative way of using exhaust heat for reforming natural gas or bio gas into a fuel with higher energy content. For this approach, Doğu Motor uses an optimized engine concept to gain a maximum heat recovery and avoids problems relating to the ignition properties of the new fuel. Compared to standard stoichiometrical Gas CHP’s, the efficiency will rise about 20 percent.
Besides the engine technology, Doğu Motor offers special approaches for desulphating and water separation. The Doğu Motor approach for desulphating enables unlimited runtime without exchanging absorber materials, thus saving time, cost and space. The gas drying method of the Doğu Motor enables increased efficiency by higher exhaust gas temperatures and avoids the consumption of fresh water for reforming.
