FROM “SPIDOLY” LAB!

FROM Instruments based on the radio. Determination of the frequency of an unmodulated source, an external signal. With the help of measuring GS you can configure any radio transmitting and radio-emitting devices in the frequency range 150 — 12 000 kHz, in the CW mode, and the mode AM or IM. In the absence of signal modulation of an external RF source (CW mode), its frequency can be determined by the method of zero beating with the frequency of HS. The block diagram implementation of the method of zero beat is illustrated.

A THERMOMETER REGULATES THE TEMPERATURE

THERMOMETER REGULATES THE TEMPERATUREWhen employees of Institute of petrochemical and gas industry named. Gubkin turned in a circle electronic automation of the Moscow Palace of pioneers with a request to produce thermostats for chemical experiments, it is to no one’s surprise. Is not the first creative activities of the children’s team, led by F. Y. Yerokhin, goes jobs scientific institutions and industrial enterprises of Moscow.

THE HEAT FROM THE FIRE TO THE TENT

THE HEAT OF THE FIRE IN THE TENTI read in your journal how you can reheat steam frozen hydrant. Was thinking of another application of such devices to heat the people in the field: a tent, a tent, under the tent on the boat — after all, the fire inside will not be bred. In this case, can help portable steam-heating system, consisting of steam generator (e.g. boiler), a hose and metal hand warmers-battery (say, cans).

“CYBER” MANAGES OBJECTS

To consider, compare, think, manage that work, which are handled by modern computers. With the help of electronic machines is calculated the orbit of the motion of planets, satellites and missiles, the calculated flight speed of elementary particles in nuclear reactors, control machines, production lines, shops and factories. The management of real objects with a computer basically boils down to converting discrete data into a continuous signal. This work is done by auto binary code converters — descramblers. The layout of one of these converters built in school No. 511 of Leningrad. Schematic diagram of the layout in the figure.
