    Medical 3 Ball Incentive Spirometer -- Exhalation mode?

    I have watched a few videos about how to use a 3 ball incentive spirometer for lung rehabilitation. Most of them are about inhalation, which you exercise with the device held right side up. I also saw a couple of videos where they hold the device upside down to test and strengthen exhalation...

    A Finding the Mode of a continous distribution

    Attached is my reference on the literature. My question is; ' are there cases where we may have a continuous distribution that has no Mode value? or is it that the Mode will always be there due to the reason that any given function will have a maximum at some point. Cheers.

    I Coupled mode theory - question about an equation

    edit: Hello everyone! When I posted the question, latex equations that were visible in "preview" do not seem here. So, I upload a pdf version of the question. We consider zero free charges and currents: ρ=J=0 $$ \mathbf{\nabla} \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}...

    Differential Amplifier Common Mode Thevenin Equivalent

    I am currently reading about small signal analysis of a MOSFET differential amplifier. The text I am using has the below two figures for a common-mode equivalent circuit for the amplifier. The first makes sense to me except where it calls it a "Norton equivalent circuit", whereas I thought a...

    I Error tolerant normal mode frequency

    If a Hookean spring-mass system is made from one mass and a spring, to produce a system with a particular oscillation frequency, it's not a problem to use the propagation of errors concept to find how this frequency responds to small errors in the mass and spring constant. If a chain of...

    Android: API to control battery protection mode?

    My new Lenovo tablet has a "battery protection mode". This is useful for example when you want to leave it on charge almost permanently, in which case the protection mode will charge and discharge between 40% and 60% in order to maximize battery life. Is there an API that can enable/disable...

    The 8 Mode Shapes of a plane finite element

    I recall, about 30 years ago, seeing the eight mode shapes (and eigenvalues) of a single plane stress (or strain) finite element. Also, years ago, I wrote a FORTRAN code to obtain them (using IMSL libraries) I know there are eight (because the plane quad element had 8 degrees of freedom) I...

    Finding Total Number of Optical Field Modes for Visible Light

    ρ_kdk = k^2/π^2 dk is the density of field modes (what we are trying to solve for here), and as ρ_kdk = ρ_λdλ, and k=2π/λ, we can rearrange this to get ρ_λdλ = 8π/λ^4dλ This is where my confusion lies. I am not sure what to do next. I know this equation physically means the number of modes per...

    How to calculate the efficiency of a switch mode power supply?
