skithrow

Hey guys, I'm graduating in December and won't be working until May or so.. so I've decided to buy a cheap pass to schweitzer ~$300 and go live there for a few months and ski everyday..

I'm normally a weekend skier so this will be a big change..

Any words of advice from people who have done this, specific gear I should look into? Injuries to watch out for etc?

thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop. Usually I buy the 250-300$ shitty laptops and use them until they are busted but I decided its time to treat myself. I do a lot of simulation work / MATLAB usage / C++ coding, so having a fast 4th gen haswell would be nice , and also 6 - 8gb+ DDR3 ram.

I'd also like a 14-15 inch full HD screen w/ touch if possible. Graphics aren't a big concern to me since I don't game. Large HDD ( 500gb + w/ mSSD would be nice) Finally I'd like something portable w/ decent battery life...

Not sure if such a laptop exists with all these features... I've been looking and have not found it yet.

I'm supposed to meet someone at "lucky's plaza in front of jamba juice" but I can't find this on google maps. The closest thing I see is a lucky supermarket near a jamba juice on Blossom Hill...

Anyone have a clue where this is?

Hey guys, I'm trying to throw together a pretty barebones system, mainly revolving around the core i7-3770k for its single threading speed and ratings. I am going to be running a lot of long simulations consisting of tons of loops and floating point calculations.

I think the processor selection is fine but I'm not really sure about the motherboard or power supply. The parts were mainly picked out at random from newegg but I'm just looking for whatever will work best and is cheapest with my application in mind. I'd like to keep the budget around 700 (lower if at all possible)

Heres my newegg shopping cart (warning adds all items to your cart)

I'm in a graduate class for Stochastic Processes in Electrical Engineering and we are using Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes book by Papoulis 4th ed but I'm finding it pretty difficult to follow. Can anyone recommend a better book or resource?

Thanks

I've got an application where I need to rinse something and then test the runoff water flow for contaminants indicating that the surface is still dirty. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do the testing of the data.

I get updates from the sensor every 100ms and the runoff water will last for about 20seconds. Additionally I will have an accepted upper and lower bound for the measurement that, assuming the sample is within that range, the sample will be accepted as close enough to normal water so the surface is clean.

Basically I'm not sure how I should be filtering and testing all the data for acceptance. I'll be posting a link to q method I was going to try and I'm looking for sugges

Man, I dunno how many times I defended RW this season from people on here claiming he would collapse in the playoffs. 27pts-7boards-9ast, 2stls on 10-15 shooting as of the 3rd quarter vs the lakers...

This will probably be downvoted but the proof is right there!

Hey guys, I purchased a CDE-300 dual pH/Conductivity 4-20mA transmitter and I'm trying to test it out via reading the output with a scope (unfortunately I don't have a current meter on hand). The manual is here: http://www.omega.com/manuals/manualpdf/M3872.pdf

Basically, this thing is powered with a 12VDC psu and there are two connections for pH and conductivity. The manual says (2nd Page, OUTPUTS headline) that the outputs are not powered and so must be connected to the 12vdc supply. Basically, S1 is connected to your sensor, and the ground of your sensor is connected to +12Vdc, the 0 connection is tied with the 12vdc ground.

In order to measure this on my scope I connected a resistor fro

Hi guys, I just graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and am in my first semester of grad school. One of the coures is really interesting to me but due to the nature of the professor's teaching method and lack of a lot of material I am having a REALLY hard time with the class.

The class is linear system theory, so it deals a ton with state space systems (for example x(t)' = A(t)x(t) + B(t)u(t), y(t) = C(t)x(x) + D(t)u(t) both time invariant and time variant case), controllability, observability, non linear systems that are linearized (I have especial trouble with this), and fundamental/state transition matrices.

I'm hoping there are some control engineers on here that can offer s

It's the same movie that has the Jp Auclair street segment.. all I have to say is HOLY SHIT, this movie has some of the best camera work and pow shots I've ever seen. Great editing. Cool music. Check it out if you get a chance, really really cool movie.
