Digital frequency discriminator
Frequency discriminator has five integrated circuit chips interconnected to provide a divide function, exclusive OR function, phase shifting, and holding so that a single binary output signal results. The state of the binary signal indicates which one of the two input signals has a lower frequency than the other
Electronic frequency discriminator
Digital comparator permits discrimination at accuracy of reference frequency. The compare circuit is a shift register element
Digital frequency discriminator Patent
Describing frequency discriminator using digital logic circuits and supplying single binary output signa
The Effect of NAG–thiazoline on Morphology and Surface Hydrophobicity of Escherichia Coli
The β-hexosaminidase inhibitor and structural analog of the putative oxazolium reaction intermediate of lytic transglycosylases, N-acetylglucosamine thiazoline (NAG–thiazoline), was synthesized in 46% overall yield and tested as an inhibitor of Escherichia coli growth. NAG–thiazoline, at concentrations up to 1 mg/ml, was not found to affect the viability of E. coli DH5α
A Trigonometric Parallax of Sgr B2
We have measured the positions of water masers in Sgr B2, a massive star
forming region in the Galactic center, relative to an extragalactic radio
source with the Very Long Baseline Array. The positions measured at 12 epochs
over a time span of one year yield the trigonometric parallax of Sgr B2 and
hence a distance to the Galactic center of Ro=7.9 (+0.8/-0.7) kpc. The proper
motion of Sgr B2 relative to Sgr A* suggests that Sgr B2 is about 0.13 kpc
nearer than the Galactic center, assuming a low-eccentricity Galactic orbit.Comment: Submitted to ApJ; 4 tables; 3 figures. Version 2 corrects Fig. 2

Imaging the Radio Photospheres of Mira Variables
We have used the VLA at 43 GHz to image the radio continuum emission from o
Ceti, R Leo, and W Hya and to precisely locate their SiO maser emission with
respect to the star. The radio continuum emission region for all three stars
has a diameter close to 5.6 AU. These diameters are similar to those measured
at infrared wavelengths in bands containing strong molecular opacity and about
twice those measured in line-free regions of the infrared spectrum. Thus, the
radio photosphere and the infrared molecular layer appear to be coextensive.
The 43 GHz continuum emission is consistent with temperatures near 1600 K and
opacity from H-minus free-free interactions. While the continuum image of o
Ceti appears nearly circular, both R Leo and W Hya display significant
elongations. The SiO masers for all three stars show partial rings with
diameters close to 8 AU.Comment: 14 pages; 3 figure
