Review of: Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail
Reviewed by: Gabriel TanakaRating:5On March 13, 2014Last modified:October 7, 2016
Seymour Duncan has been long regarded among pro guitarists as one of the leading names in guitar pickups. And back when Seymour Duncan made their first foray into guitar pedals with the now iconic Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster, it became immediately clear that they know a thing or two about pedals, also. After a series of successful pedal releases, it’s actually been a few years since Seymour Duncan has released something new. But they sure weren’t resting on their laurels as their brand new Vapor Trail Analog Delay shows.
The Vapor Trail clearly shows just from its spec sheet that the folks over at Seymour Duncan have been doing their homework. This is a pedal for guitar players interested in warm sounding, authentic analog delay tone who don’t need tap tempo. Therefore it will conveniently fit into a standard-sized stompbox slot on your pedalboard. And it hits that perfect street price point of around $149.
The Vapor Trail also packs a few extra features that give this pedal some distinct advantages over the competition. It has modulation as expected, but both its modulation Rate and Depth controls are on the surface, easily tweakable in live situations. There’s also an effects send/return, perfect for coloring the delay with other pedals, using the delay in stereo, or controlling the Mix (delay level) with a volume pedal. A transparent Delay knob with a flashing blue LED light also gives you realtime feedback of the delay time.
This just might be the most exciting pedal Seymour Duncan have released. If it sounds as good as it looks, the Vapor Trail could be a hit. Is it the best analog delay pedal in this price range? You’ll find out in our Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail review.
All analog Bucket Brigade (BBD) delay signal path supported by modern low-noise analog electronics. No microprocessors or digital signal processors.
Delay control knob adjusts delay time from 15ms to 600ms. Actual delay time indicated by flash rate of illuminated Delay time knob.
Repeats control knob sets delay feedback from one repeat to runaway repeats and self-oscillation.
Mix control knob blends wet and dry signals. Wet signal is adjustable from muted to +3dB. At the highest settings, the first echo is actually louder than the dry signal.
Rate control knob adjusts the rate of modulation from 0.2Hz to 4Hz.
Depth control knob adjusts modulation depth from zero to “over the top”.
TRS wet channel insert loop allows external effects to be applied to only the wet signal. Also serves as wet-only output for wet/dry stereo or studio use.
True bypass for letting your signal pass unaffected when disengaged.
Powered by 9-volt battery or 9-18VDC power supply.
Sound & Performance:
There’s nothing quite like the sound of a great analog delay pedal. One of the first things I noticed about the Vapor Trail is that Seymour Duncan really put in some time to get the tone right. Just by setting the Mix, Repeats, and Delay to around noon and kicking on the pedal, a gloriously warm analog delay replicates your playing with that characteristic high-end rolloff that darkens more as the repeats fade out. Taking those 3 knobs up in the 1-2 o’clock vicinity adds a little more of everything, bringing that warm delay up in the mix with more feedback repeats and longer delay times.
The Vapor Trail produces a wide range of classic delay sounds. Cutting back the Repeats and Delay to around 9 o’clock produces a vintage style slap back delay. Cutting the delay time even shorter and bringing up the Rate and Depth knobs lets you achieve all kinds of modulation ranging from gentle chorusing to rotating speaker-like effects. Pushing up the Vapor Trail’s Delay knob to around 2 o’clock lets you pull off those longer delay times that are good for some Edge style rhythmic delay tones.
Again, tone is one of the paramount features of a great analog delay pedal. One of the biggest drawbacks of some classic old-school analog delay pedals is, of course, the noise often inherent in those outdated electronics. Seymour Duncan have made great effort to use high quality modern components that create a lush analog delay sound that isn’t diminished by noise in the signal. The Vapor Trail retains warmth and clarity without any annoying hiss. If you do appreciate a little graininess in your repeats, you can get a little bit of that lo-fi sound with heavy delay layering on a high feedback setting via the Repeats knob. And there’s always taking it over the edge to sonic insanity by cranking the Repeats for some wild self-oscillation.
If you want even more ways to color the tone of your delays, the Vapor Trail’s TRS send and return jack is the way to go. You can patch in any pedal (or pedals) to affect the delay signal only. I found great results using various overdrives and pedals with versatile EQ sections to saturate and color the tone. If you have a favorite modulation pedal, you could even use it to modulate the delay instead of using the Vapor Trail’s onboard modulation. But the Vapor Trail’s modulation actually sounds quite nice, and you can even use it in conjunction with the effects loop to modulate the processed delay signal. I’ve been having a lot of fun getting a grainy distorted sound and modulating it with the Vapor Trail set to maximum Depth and minimum Rate for some broken tape machine effects. There’s a lot of sounds to be achieved by throwing your favorite pedals in the loop and seeing what you can come up with.
The Vapor Trail’s delay time indicator LED in the Delay knob is nice touch and gives you handy visual feedback in a live situation. It’s another one of the subtle little features that shows the folks at Seymour Duncan really thought this pedal through in terms of features. Some guitarists don’t need tap tempo but will appreciate having this little visual indicator of where your delay is set before kicking on the pedal.
Quite frankly, the Vapor Trail is so good that there just really isn’t much to complain about. If I had to nitpick, I’d suggest moving the footswitch closer to the end of the pedal for easier access with less possibility of hitting the knobs with your foot onstage. There’s certainly room inside the pedal to switch the battery compartment and footswitch positions. But that minor criticism pales in light of just how good this pedal sounds. Before you drop your hard-earned money on a comparably priced analog delay pedal, you need to try the Vapor Trail. You’ll be glad you did.
The Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail has essentially upped the ante among affordable, space efficient, and quality sounding analog delay pedals. With this and their fantastic 805 Overdrive, I predict Seymour Duncan is going to keep making waves in the pedal game. Let’s see the final result.
The Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail has set a new standard for an affordable, high-quality analog delay pedal. The Vapor Trail sounds pristine and warm, with a beautiful vintage-inspired tone. Thanks to Seymour Duncan’s use of quality components, the Vapor Trail sounds remarkably clear, free of the background noise and hiss suffered by many old-school analog delay pedals. The modulation (with convenient surface controls), TRS send and return jack, and handy LED delay indicator further stand to set this pedal apart from the crowd. If you’re in the market for the best analog delay pedal that’s affordably priced and has premium tone, definitely audition the Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail.
That concludes our Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail review. Thanks for reading.

This review made me curious enough to track one down at a local music store. You’re absolutely right. This is a great sounding pedal. I prefer it to the carbon copy (just sold mine). The repeats sounded nice and clean and warm to me. And the ability to tweak the modulation depth and rate was so nice – now I’m going to expect that on every delay pedal! haha

While fiber optic fibers have been around for a long time, studies show that a lot of people have little information about them. To help you out, here are some of the things you need to know about the cables: They are of different types. First of all, it’s good to define what optical fiber coloring machine are. These are units that are made from glass or plastic filaments and they are utilized to carry light signals from one place to another. They are of two main types: single mode and multimode. The single mode units carry light down a single path usually called the fundamental mode. Single mode fibers feature a core diameter of 8-9 microns. While they are small, their main advantage is that you can use them to transmit light over long distances.
Multimode fibers, on the other hand, allow light traveling down multiple paths. They have a core diameter which is between 50 and 62.5 microns. Since light travels in different paths and the diameter is big, these products are ideal if you use them to transmit light over short distances. Usually, in a building.
The fibers require regular inspection. Just like any other units which you may be having, you have to regularly inspect the optic fibers to ensure that these are running properly. If you possess the skills you need to inspect the units on your own but when you don’t possess the skills you need to hire a professional to assist you. During the inspection, you need to use certain tools. One of the most common tools that you can use is the optical power meter. This unit measures the brightness from the optical signals and offers the brings about milliwatts or dBm.
Another tool which you can use will be the optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) that works by injecting a series of light pulses in to the optic fiber strand. The unit then analyses the volume of light which is reflected back. You can use the data which you gather to characterize the optic fiber.
Cleanliness is of great importance to optical fiber ribbon machine. During installing of the fibers, you should seriously consider cleanliness. According to experts, even minor dirt on the units can prevent them from running efficiently. Because of this, you should make certain that no dirt gets on the fibers. To keep the units clean you need to regularly clean them with specialty kits designed for the task. Here is the great news though. Developers have found that PF amorphous polymer based gradient-index plastic optical fibers eliminate the attenuation downside to PMMA based plastic fiber. They have got developed PF-polymer based Gradient-Index (GI) POF with attenuation amount of only 10 dB/km. According to theoretical calculation, PF-polymer based GI POF can achieve similar degree of attenuation as silica-based glass fiber of .3dB/km.
In fiber optic networks, OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is surely an opto-electronic instrument utilized to characterize an optical fiber. OTDR is the best known and least understood fiber optic instrument. OTDR fails to measure loss, but rather implies it by studying the backscatter signature in the fiber. It will not measure cable plant loss that can be correlated to power budgets.
An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses in to the fiber under test. In addition, it extracts, from your same end of the fiber, light that is certainly scattered back and reflected back from points in the fiber in which the index of refraction changes. This working principle works just like a radar or sonar, sending out a pulse of light from the very powerful laser, that is scattered through the glass drvunx the core from the Secondary coating line. The power of the return pulses is measured and integrated as being a function of time, and is also plotted being a purpose of the fiber length.
An OTDR may be used for estimating the fiber’s length and overall attenuation, including splice and mated-connector losses. It may also be used to find faults, like breaks. Using a optimized refractive-index profile in the PF-polymer based GI POF, more than 10Gb/s data transmission speed can be accomplished over 1km. This is actually the metrics of PF-polymer’s low intrinsic loss and low material dispersion. Coupled with this theoretically possible high bandwidth and low total link cost, PF-Polymer based gradient-index plastic optical fiber has a huge potential in fiber optic data communication applications.


FM Dye Cycling at the Synapse: Comparing High Potassium Depolarization, Electrical and Channelrhodopsin Stimulation
- PMID: 29889207[PubMed].
FM dyes are used to study the synaptic vesicle (SV) cycle. These amphipathic probes have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail, making them water-soluble with the ability to reversibly enter and exit membrane lipid bilayers. These styryl dyes are relatively non-fluorescent in aqueous medium, but insertion into the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane causes a >40X increase in fluorescence. In neuronal synapses, FM dyes are internalized during SV endocytosis, trafficked both within and between SV pools, and released with SV exocytosis, providing a powerful tool to visualize presynaptic stages of neurotransmission. A primary genetic model of glutamatergic synapse development and function is the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ), where FM dye imaging has been used extensively to quantify SV dynamics in a wide range of mutant conditions. The NMJ synaptic terminal is easily accessible, with a beautiful array of large synaptic boutons ideal for imaging applications. Here, we compare and contrast the three ways to stimulate the Drosophila NMJ to drive activity-dependent FM1-43 dye uptake/release: 1) bath application of high [K+] to depolarize neuromuscular tissues, 2) suction electrode motor nerve stimulation to depolarize the presynaptic nerve terminal, and 3) targeted transgenic expression of channelrhodopsin variants for light-stimulated, spatial control of depolarization. Each of these methods has benefits and disadvantages for the study of genetic mutation effects on the SV cycle at the Drosophila NMJ. We will discuss these advantages and disadvantages to assist the selection of the stimulation approach, together with the methodologies specific to each strategy. In addition to fluorescent imaging, FM dyes can be photoconverted to electron-dense signals visualized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study SV cycle mechanisms at an ultrastructural level. We provide the comparisons of confocal and electron microscopy imaging from the different methods of Drosophila NMJ stimulation, to help guide the selection of future experimental paradigms.

The actual transformer always works in the AC state, and the power loss is not only in the resistance of the coil, but also in the iron core magnetized by the alternating current. The power loss in the iron core is usually called "iron loss", which is caused by two reasons, one is "hysteresis loss" and the other is "eddy current loss".
Hysteresis loss is the iron loss due to the hysteresis phenomenon in the magnetization process of the iron core. The size of this loss is proportional to the area enclosed by the hysteresis loop of the material. The hysteresis loop of silicon steel is narrow, and the hysteresis loss of the iron core of the transformer is small, which can greatly reduce its heating degree.
Since silicon steel has these advantages, why not use the whole piece of silicon steel to make the iron core, but also process it into sheets?
This is because sheet-like cores reduce another type of iron loss, "eddy current loss". When the transformer works, there is alternating current in the coil, and the magnetic flux it produces is of course alternating. This varying flux produces an induced current in the core. The induced current generated in the core circulates in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the flux, so it is called eddy current. Eddy current loss also heats the core. In order to reduce eddy current loss, the core of the transformer is stacked with silicon steel sheets insulated from each other, so that the eddy current is in the narrow and elongated loop, through a smaller section, to increase the resistance of the eddy current path; At the same time, the silicon in the silicon steel increases the resistivity of the material and also plays a role in reducing the eddy current.
Used as the transformer core, generally choose 0.35mm thick cold rolled silicon steel sheet, according to the size of the required core, it will be cut into long shaped sheet, and then overlap into "day" shape or "mouth" shape. In principle, in order to reduce eddy current, the thinner the thickness of silicon steel sheet, the narrower the splicing strip, the better the effect. This not only reduces the eddy current loss, reduces the temperature rise, but also saves the silicon steel sheet material. But actually when you make a silicon steel sheet iron core. Not only from the above side of the advantageous factors, because the production of iron core, to greatly increase the man-hour, but also reduce the effective section of the core. Therefore, when making transformer core with silicon steel sheet, we should start from the specific situation, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and choose the best size.
Transformers are made according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. There are two windings, a primary winding and a secondary winding, wound on the closed core column. When the primary winding is added with AC supply voltage. The original Rao group current has alternating current, and the establishment of magnetic potential, under the action of magnetic potential in the iron core will produce alternating main magnetic flux, the main magnetic flux through the core at the same time,] the primary and secondary winding and closed because of electromagnetic induction in the primary and secondary winding respectively generated induced electromotive force, as to why it can boost and step-down? Lenz's law is needed to explain it. Magnetic flux generated by induced current always hinders the change of original magnetic flux. When the original magnetic flux increases, the magnetic flux generated by induced current is opposite to the original magnetic flux, that is to say, the induced magnetic flux generated by secondary winding is opposite to the main magnetic flux generated by primary winding. So the secondary winding has a low level of alternating voltage, so the core is the magnetic circuit part of the transformer, and the winding is the circuit part of the transformer.


The responses of photosynthetic organisms to light stress are of interest for both fundamental and applied research. Functional traits related to the photoinhibition, the light-induced loss of photosynthetic efficiency, are particularly interesting as this process is a key limiting factor of photosynthetic productivity in algae and plants. The quantitative characterization of light responses is often time-consuming and calls for cost-effective high throughput approaches that enable the fast screening of multiple samples. Here we present a novel illumination system based on the concept of ‘multi-actinic imaging’ of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence. The system is based on the combination of an array of individually addressable low power RGBW LEDs and custom-designed well plates, allowing for the independent illumination of 64 samples through the digital manipulation of both exposure duration and light intensity. The illumination system is inexpensive and easily fabricated, based on open source electronics, off-the-shelf components, and 3D-printed parts, and is optimized for imaging of chlorophyll fluorescence. The high-throughput potential of the system is illustrated by assessing the functional diversity in light responses of marine macroalgal species, through the fast and simultaneous determination of kinetic parameters characterizing the response to light stress of multiple samples. Although the presented illumination system was primarily designed for the measurement of phenotypic traits related to photosynthetic activity and photoinhibition, it can be potentially used for a number of alternative applications, including the measurement of chloroplast phototaxis and action spectra, or as the basis for microphotobioreactors.

de Icaza-Herrera M et al, 2015: Combined short and long-delay tandem shock waves to improve shock wave lithotripsy according to the Gilmore-Akulichev theory.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a common non-invasive treatment for urinary stones whose fragmentation is achieved mainly by acoustic cavitation and mechanical stress. A few years ago, in vitro and in vivo experimentation demonstrated that such fragmentation can be improved, without increasing tissue damage, by sending a second shock wave hundreds of microseconds after the previous wave. Later, numerical simulations revealed that if the second pulse had a longer full width at half maximum than a standard shock wave, cavitation could be enhanced significantly. On the other side, a theoretical study showed that stress inside the stone can be increased if two lithotripter shock waves hit the stone with a delay of only 20 μs. We used the Gilmore-Akulichev formulation to show that, in principle, both effects can be combined, that is, stress and cavitation could be increased using a pressure pulse with long full width at half maximum, which reaches the stone within hundreds of microseconds after two 20 μs-delayed initial shock waves. Implementing the suggested pressure profile into clinical devices could be feasible, especially with piezoelectric shock wave sources.

What is the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)?
CDP is a Cisco proprietary protocol that runs on all Cisco IOS-enabled devices. It is used to gather information about directly connected neighboring devices. CDP operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model and is media-independent. With CDP, you can tell the hardware type, device identifier, address list, software version, and active interfaces on neighboring Cisco devices. CDP is enabled by default on all Cisco equipment. It uses a nonroutable SNAP frame to communicate between devices.Note: Because CDP is media-independent it can operate over most media types. The only media types CDP cannot operate over are X.25, because it doesn't support SNAP encapsulation, and Frame Relay point-to-multipoint interfaces.What are three reasons to disable CDP?
Three reasons to disable CDP are as follows:
. To save network bandwidth by not exchanging CDP frames.
. If you are connecting to non-Cisco devices.
. Security. CDP broadcasts information about the device every 60 seconds. Sniffers and other devices can view these broadcasts to discover information about your network.How do you disable CDP on Cisco routers?
Two commands disable CDP on a Cisco router. To disable CDP on the entire device, use the no cdp run global command:
RouterB(config)#no cdp run
To disable CDP on an interface only, use the no cdp enable interface command:
RouterB(config-if)#no cdp enable
This disables CDP on Ethernet interface 0.What does the show CDP command display?
The show CDP command displays global CDP information about the device. It tells you when the device will send CDP packets and the CDP holdtime:
Global CDP information:
Sending CDP packets every 60 seconds
Sending a holdtime value of 180 secondsNote: For the CCNA test, remember that the default time a device will send out CDP information is 60 seconds and the default holdtime is 180 seconds.On a Cisco router, what does the show cdp neighbors command display?
The show cdp neighbors command displays the following:
· Device ID (name of the device)
· The local interface (local outgoing port)
· The holdtime displayed in seconds
· The device's capability code (this tells you if the device is a router, switch, or repeater)
· Hardware platform of the neighboring device (what type of Cisco device it is and the model)

Hearing Aids Overview
Today's hearing aids are a significant improvement on those used in the past.
They're more discreet, and work much better. Hearing aids will not improve your hearing, but they make sounds quieter and more precise, reducing the impact of hearing loss on your life.
Hearing aids can:
- Help you hear daily noises like the doorbell and telephone.
- Improve your ability to understand speech.
- Help you enjoy listening to music and television, at a volume convenient for those around you.
How does a hearing aid work?
It can be helpful to understand a little more about how hearing aids function before explaining the types of hearing aids. While the actual method and procedure are mostly dependent on individual hearing aids, the basic concept remains the same.
Hearing aids receive sounds into their microphones, then computer analyzes and optimizes the sounds, then transmits them to an amplifier. The amplifier pushes them through a speaker and into the wearer's ears, after enhancing the sound waves' strength.
The most significant change in recent years has been the shift to digital hearing aids. These can control the amplification so that it outputs more at specific frequencies. This is useful because most hearing losses involve loss of the higher frequencies in the initial stages.
Types of Hearing Aids
In the world of rechargeable batteries, the introduction of Lithium-ion technology (sometimes called the Li-on) has been a game-changer. They are based on the type of battery used in cell phones, providing a more convenient and reliable charge than other rechargeable batteries.
A hearing aid with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery is an excellent choice for several reasons:
- Better for limited dexterity: People with limited dexterity will not need to change batteries every week. They simply need to place it in the charging station.
- Practical: Rechargeable batteries will give you a full day of power when charged overnight. Much like charging your phone – you place it in the charger before going to bed, and you will have a fully-powered device when you wake up in the morning.
- Long-lasting: The rechargeable battery lasts a long time. It doesn't need to be replaced for the length of the hearing aid's own lifespan.
Direct Bluetooth connectivity
Which hearing aid is right for you?
It depends on whether you are searching for the best features or the smallest size. Larger models are less discreet but more comfortable to handle, have better battery lives, and boast a broader range of features.
You also have to consider the degree of your hearing loss. Some hearing aid types can carry all levels of hearing loss, while the smaller models have a more limited range of hearing losses served.
We can't wait to help you choose a hearing aid that best suits your lifestyle and needs. The sooner you use them, the more you get out of them. Contact us today to set up a consultation.


One of the main topics at last week’s CIBSE Building Performance Conference and Exhibition, indoor air quality is fast being recognised as a priority concern in the world of wellbeing. But in a field where marginal gains are everything, being on top of your data is very important Arie Taal from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The Hague University has produced research into eliminating faults in HVAC using a BMS
Carbon Dioxide based demand control ventilation (DCV) can reduce heating/cooling loads by up to 30% and fan power consumption by up to 35%. DCV maintains the CO2 concentration in a room within an appropriate range by adjusting the supply air flowrate. CO2-based DCV is the most commonly used control method with CO2 sensors installed in the main return air duct. Nowadays, the increased requirement for smart buildings, combined with a decrease of CO2 sensor prices, has resulted in buildings being equipped with more sensors.
A common issue occurs when one of the CO2 sensors encounters a fault. This can be down to a lack of maintenance or incorrect sensor placements in rooms. In a DCV system, a fault can mean that the estimated energy savings and air quality is not guaranteed. In 1993 the Automatic Background Calibration (ABC) method was developed to calibrate CO2 sensors with the idea that CO2 levels would drop outside normal levels in buildings that are not occupied on weekends or weekday evenings. However, placement of sensors can become a problem as rooms on the inner side of a building or rooms with well-sealed windows may never drop outside of these baseline levels.
Alongside Dr Yang Zhao and Prof Wim Zeiler at the Department of the Built Environment, Eindhoven University in the Netherlands, Mr Taal has been working toward a systematic method of diagnosing faults in CO2 sensors. Using automatic fault detection, diagnosis and self-correction in CO2 sensors would be a proactive method in air conditioning systems to solve this problem. The premise of Mr Taal’s study has been to show how the automatic commissioning of CO2 sensors in air conditioning systems is achievable using benchmark values obtained in one of two methods.
In conventional methods, sensor faults are detected by comparing their measurements with benchmark values. These values can be obtained manually, measured by technicians, or calculated automatically using other available measurements. The latter is more common because it can be done automatically in the building management system (BMS). Practical issues arise in air conditioning systems because there are no sensors equipped to measure the CO2 generation rate, CO2 concentration in the supply air and the flow rate of the supply air in m3/s. In the development of models for CO2 sensor fault detection, the lack of information poses a real challenge.
In an effort to eliminate the threat posed by this lack of information the idea is to perform one of two test methods under specific operating conditions to ascertain the required benchmark levels.
The first is to recycle air without adding any outdoor air for between one and two hours to create 100% return air ventilation. By closing all windows, doors and fresh air dampers in air handling units the measurements of all CO2 sensors should theoretically be the same. The second test is full outdoor ventilation, to supply fresh air into the building without any recycling for between one and two hours. Again, at the end of the time period all of the CO2 sensors should be the same and equal the CO2 concentration of the ambient air.
Faulty sensors will be detected if their readings are different from the assessed benchmark values. A faulty sensor can be detected if its measurements are obviously higher or lower than other sensors.
In the first method, the degree of fault is then measured from the difference between the defective sensor and the average measurement of the other faultless CO2 sensors. The second compares the faulty sensor reading to the ambient CO2 concentration both looking for a negative or positive bias in CO2 levels when measured against the benchmark.
Self-correction is the final step in the process where all of the information is taken from the faulty sensor for adjustment. Using the assessment results from the fault diagnosis the CO2 bias can be corrected. The results of the detection, diagnosis and self-correction will then be reported to technicians for reference.
Together with his team, Mr Taal produced a simulation of their works on the first floor of a school building at The Hague University in Delft. In their experiment, nine rooms were used with a CO2-based DCV applied to control the amount of supply air to each room in order to keep the CO2 measurements within the benchmark. Separate experiments were conducted to simulate different conditions. The first simulates a fault free operation and a second introduces faulty sensors to show the impacts of automatic fault detection system.
Using two operating methods to obtain CO2 benchmarks, 100% return air ventilation and full outdoor air ventilation; faulty sensors can be detected, diagnosed and self-corrected using a BMS. From the simulations, results show that after 45 minutes there are obvious differences between functional sensors and those that are faulty. After an hour and a half the positive or negative bias can be accurately measured.
Theoretically, the proposed methods are effective ways to detect faulty CO2 sensors, effectively diagnoses the state of failure and to automatically remove the fault. The ability to automatically detect, diagnose and repair faults is vital to the effective running of DCV systems.

A solar panel project proposed by the Morris Area High School robotics team is closer to reality.
Eric Buchanan, a coach for the robotics team, said the panels are expected to arrive on May 13. The robotics team, called the Plaid Pillagers, has a fundraiser for the project coming up on May 10.
The robotics team develops a project in the science, math, engineering and technology fields, and competes in regional events. It is raising money for the solar panels which will be an energy source for the Morris Area School District. The annual energy savings to the school will be given to the robotics team to help pay for its costs.
The team has raised about $20,300 through grants and donations for the 23 4- by-65 inch panels. About $21,000 is needed for the projects.
Team member Teresa Boyd said the panels will be installed near the school's tennis courts and new bus garage on the school campus.
"It will save the school close to $1,000 a year," Boyd said.
Each of the 23 panels will provide 9,600 kilowatt hours of energy per year, Boyd said.
The solar panels will provide energy but can also be used by classes at the school, Boyd said. Boyd said the panels can be used to teach students about energy, solar energy and general science.

Under the heading Generation íí, KRÜSS will be present with two new measuring instruments at analytica 2022 in Munich, Germany. The Tensiometer Tensíío from the Hamburg-based solution provider for interfacial analysis combines technical innovations with great flexibility in individual equipment. Ayríís is the world's first instrument for measuring 3D Contact Angle and, as a mobile stand-alone solution, performs reliable, unambiguous testing for quality control (QC) and is free of user intervention or result interpretation.
Tensíío - modular universal tensiometer for liquid and solid surfaces
In addition to many technical innovations and intuitive operation with an integrated touch display, KRÜSS places particular emphasis with Tensíío on individualized equipment options for the respective needs of the user. For example, a force sensor with very high resolution is available, which is suitable for tasks such as measuring low interfacial tensions or the wetting of single fibers. For standard tensiometry tasks, such as the measurement of critical micelle concentration (CMC), the alternative force sensor in the medium resolution range is completely sufficient. Temperature control is possible via an external liquid thermostat, as with comparable instruments, but more flexible and space-saving are integrated temperature control solutions covering a range between -15 and 300 °C. Other optional components expand the possibilities for analyses of solid surfaces. These include an ionizer that removes interfering static charges or a camera that is used, for example, to measure adhesion on hydrophobic surfaces.
The positioning system for the sample stage has the largest dynamic range to date in the segment of tensiometers based on force measurement. The particularly high maximum speed saves preparation time for each measurement. On the other hand, extremely slow movements with excellent smoothness ensure precise results for analyses of highly viscous liquids or for contact angle measurements using the Wilhelmy method. Another new feature is the electronic bubble level for instrument alignment, which provides feedback when the instrument is not level to ensure high accuracy. Also new is the multicolor illumination, which can, for example, indicate successful measurements with green light and results outside predefined values with red light.
Ayríís - novel contact angle technology for user-independent wetting measurements in quality control
Contact angles reflect the wettability of a material and are often used for testing surfaces that have been pretreated or cleaned before coating, printing, or bonding. For industrial quality checks of large sample quantities, the method was previously only of limited use because it could not always be applied automatically, and the results often still had to be reviewed.
With Ayríís, KRÜSS has optimized the contact angle method for quality assurance and developed the first solution for measuring the 3D Contact Angle. The instrument creates a virtual 3D model of the water drop dosed during the measurement and determines the contact angle reliably and always automatically on the basis of this spatial image. The measurement takes only seconds and requires no prior knowledge or training. To prepare the QC checks, sample types can be created via the touch display and tolerance limits for the contact angle can be set. Together with the contact angle result, Ayríís gives a clear passed/failed message based on the defined limits without any necessary evaluation by the inspector.
The novel, highly complex technology for the 3D Contact Angle works with 90 LEDs arranged in a measuring head with precise positioning, whose reflections by the drop are recorded by two cameras. A realistic, virtual 3D model of the drop is created from the analysis of several reflection patterns in rapid succession and a distance measurement by two laser detectors. Ayríís is designed as a mobile, robust instrument for measurement directly at the production site. It operates completely self-sufficiently, using commercially available, rechargeable batteries and equally easy-to-change cartridges of pure water designed for up to 4,000 measurements. This enables almost uninterrupted use in shift operation.


A few years ago, at Amazon’s AWS yearly cloud conference, re:Invent, I spoke to one of their solutions architects after they announced a new service. One thing the gentleman said to me that struck me is that Amazon does not do “science experiments.” Every service they launch is launched with actual customers and is ideally profitable from day one. Amazon seems to have created a new bare metal cloud offering and their first big customer in this case is VMWare.
Over the years, Amazon has worked very hard to squeeze every bit of overhead out of their Xen-based cloud service. This work has allowed them to move their monitoring and metering systems completely off of their physical machine CPUs and onto custom hardware and firmware. Now that this work is complete, Amazon is able to offer bare metal servers to VMWare to support the new VMWare cloud service. We expect Amazon to open up access to bare metal servers eventually to additional vendors, and perhaps to all AWS customers.
AWS is built on top of the Xen hypervisor. Virtualization and hypervisors are used to both provide both isolation and a management layer. Instances run by Amazon’s customers are scheduled and started on shared physical machines in an Amazon availability zone. Virtualization provides a security boundary that allows instances from different Amazon customers to run side by side on a physical machine. Amazon has also historically also used the hypervisor layer to manage and meter the machine’s use for billing and monitoring.
As performance requirements from users of virtualization have increased, hardware manufacturers have started moving virtualization features into physical hardware, simplifying and easing the burden of hypervisor software. Intel introduced virtualization extensions to their chips years ago, and have subsequently created technologies like IOMMU or VT-d to allow physical hardware to be presented to virtualized machines, eliminating the performance overhead of accessing them in a hypervisor. On the other side, cloud providers like Amazon and Microsoft have been trying to drive down overhead and increase the performance of their virtual machines. Reportedly, this has forced them to move their management capability out of software in the virtualization layer and into physical device firmware, and into custom hardware FPGAs.
It appears that all of these efforts have allowed Amazon to completely disconnect the management, monitoring and metering of their physical hardware from any software running on the machines themselves. This has allowed Amazon to offer bare metal hardware to VMWare and allows VMWare to run their own hypervisor and management stack on top of physical hardware from Amazon. It stands to reason that now that Amazon has this capability, they will offer it to their wider customer base.
One new possibility this offers Amazon customers is the ability to create new types of cloud offerings. VMWare is doing exactly this. One could imagine that existing heavy users of OpenStack may want an offering on AWS offered by RackSpace.
Amazon may also be able to lure customers that Microsoft is currently winning over by allowing their customers to start using Microsoft’s Hyper-V technology on AWS. Microsoft’s enterprise cloud strategy has been to provide their Azure technology both on premise and in the cloud. For customers who have embraced Microsoft’s stack, moving into Azure may have been the most natural course of action. With a bare metal offering, Amazon offers the potential for these customers to run the Azure stack on Amazon’s infrastructure.
There has also been a shift in enterprise software to preferring to achieve isolation via containerization rather than virtualization. Many workloads do not require the full isolation that a hypervisor stack provides and can make do with operating system containerization. Amazon’s EC2 Container Service or ECS allows customers to schedule Docker containers onto their Amazon hosted infrastructure. Bare metal servers could allow customers to achieve greater density, running more containers on fewer servers without the overhead of a hypervisor. Although it is generally agreed that virtualization overhead is relatively small, many in the Docker community argue passionately for running Docker containers on bare metal hardware to achieve the highest levels of performance and density.
Bryan Cantrill of Joyent has repeatedly made this argument, most recently at Hashiconf 2016. Joyent created an open source technology called Triton to enable just such a use case. With bare metal hardware available from Amazon, tools like Triton running on SmartOS may gain more traction.
Amazon has claimed for years to be a customer driven organization, constantly gathering feedback from their customers and using it to drive features. As their customer base has exploded over the years, it has also grown very diverse. Amazon is expanding their offerings both up and down the technology abstraction stack. At the top of the stack they are expanding their Lambda offering for customers who don’t want to worry about servers and want to run just code and pay by the millisecond. On the other side, they are now offering bare metal access to their physical infrastructure and attracting workloads that they haven’t been able to run until now.


Today Intel is introducing their SSD 545s, the first product with their new 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory and, in a move that gives Intel a little bit of bragging rights, the first SSD on the market to use 64-layer 3D NAND from any manufacturer.
The Intel SSD 545s is a mainstream consumer SSD, which these days means it’s using the SATA interface and TLC NAND flash. The 545s is the successor to last year’s Intel SSD 540s, which was in many ways a filler product to cover up inconvenient gaps in Intel’s SSD technology roadmap. When the 540s launched, Intel’s first generation of 3D NAND was not quite ready, and Intel had no cost-competitive planar NAND of their own due to skipping the 16nm node at IMFT. This forced Intel to use 16nm TLC from SK Hynix in the 540s. Less unusual for Intel, the 540s also used a third-party SSD controller: Silicon Motion’s SM2258. Silicon Motion’s SSD controllers are seldom the fastest, but performance is usually decent and the cost is low. Intel’s in-house SATA SSD controllers were enterprise-focused and not ready to compete in the new TLC-based consumer market.
The Intel SSD 545s continues Intel’s close relationship with Silicon Motion by being one of the first SSDs to use the latest SM2259 controller. Since the SATA interface is now a dead-end technology, the SM2259 is a fairly minor update over the SM2258 controller used by last year’s Intel SSD 540s. The only significant new feature enabled by the updated controller is hardware end-to-end data protection that includes ECC on the controller’s SRAM and on the external DRAM. This will make the 545s more resilient against corruption of in-flight data, but it should not be mistaken for the power loss protection that is typically found on enterprise SSDs.
The flash memory used in the Intel 545s is Intel’s second generation 3D TLC NAND, a 64-layer design with a floating gate memory cell. Intel did not use their first-generation 32-layer 3D NAND in a consumer SATA SSD, but the 32L 3D TLC is at the heart of Intel’s SSD 600p, their first M.2 NVMe SSD and one of the most affordable consumer NVMe SSDs.
Similar to the strategy Micron used last year when introducing the Crucial MX300, the Intel 545s initially brings a new generation of 3D NAND to the market with just a single SKU. The 512GB 545s is available now on Newegg, with other capacities and the M.2 SATA versions to follow over the next few weeks. The full lineup will include capacities from 128GB to 2TB in both 2.5″ and M.2 form factors.
Intel will be using their smaller 256Gb 64L TLC die for all capacities of the 545s, rather than adopting the 512Gb 64L TLC part for the larger models. The 512Gb die is not yet in volume production and Intel plans to have the full range of 545s models on the market before the 512Gb parts are available in volume. Once the 512Gb parts are available we can expect to seem them used in other product families to enable even higher drive capacities, but it is reassuring to see Intel choosing the performance advantages of smaller more numerous dies for the mainstream consumer product range.
Meanwhile, over the rest of this year, Intel plans to incorporate 64L 3D NAND into SSDs in every product segment. Most of those products are still under wraps, but the Pro 5450s and E 5100s are on the way as the OEM and embedded versions of the 545s.
Intel seems to be in a hurry to get this drive out the door so they can claim to be the first shipping SSDs with 64-layer 3D NAND. At Computex we saw Western Digital announce their first 64L 3D NAND SSDs due to be available in Q3, and Toshiba is already sampling the XG5 M.2 NVMe SSD to OEMs. Earlier this month, Samsung announced the start of volume production of their 64-layer 256Gb V-NAND. By launching with retail availability this week, Intel has narrowly secured first place bragging rights. (It seems Intel and Micron might have an agreement to take turns introducing new 3D NAND, given that Micron was first to ship the 32L 3D NAND last year with the Crucial MX300.)
The downside is that this is a rushed launch; I’ve had the drive in hand for less than five days as of publication time, and that time spanned a weekend. Intel’s press briefing on this drive was a mere fifteen hours before the embargo lift, and the slides included some changed specifications relative to the product brief that was delivered with the drive last week. As with several of their recent SSD launches, Intel is only providing the one-page product brief and is withholding the full specifications document from the general public and the press, but this time it might genuinely be due to the latter document not being ready instead of motivated by the questionable IP security concerns Intel cited earlier this year.
