What is Mode: Definition and 324 Discussions

In x86 computing, unreal mode, also big real mode, huge real mode, flat real mode, or voodoo mode is a variant of real mode, in which one or more segment descriptors has been loaded with non-standard values, like 32-bit limits allowing access to the entire memory. Contrary to its name, it is not a separate addressing mode that the x86 processors can operate in. It is used in the 80286 and later x86 processors.

    Maximun bps rate on an ITU channel over standard single mode fiber

    I have to find the maximun bps that it can be reach using a point-to-point link of 40 km long of optic fiber. I use an ITU normalized channel (100 GHz optic BW). So, I can choose any electric modulation and any optic modulation, too. Anybody could help me? Any answer is welcome. Thanks.

    Why Does the System Have a Zero Frequency in the Normal Mode Oscillations?

    Homework Statement Two equal masses are connected by two massless springs of constant k and nat. length l. The masses are constrained by a frictionless tube on a pivot, (also massless) so that they remain colinear with the pivot. The pivot subtends angle theta with the vertical. The 1st mass...

    RPN vs Algebraic Mode on calculators.

    I've recently bought a Hp 50g calculator and it offers the RPN mode which the Ti's don't have. I've been using algebraic mode up until now and I heard that RPN still beats it in the long run. I know that you can save many key strokes with RPN but it will definitely take me some time to learn the...

    What are B mode and E mode signals?

    I've read an article in nature and found technical words "B mode signal" and "E mode signal". I don't understand what they are. In a website, they say it's like the electromagnetic field line but I'm still not clear. I also don't understand what k means in " the linear greyscale shows the...

    Oscillation mode question

    In the problem, A string's tension is adjusted so that the speed of sound waves on the string equals the speed of sound in the air. The fundamental mode of oscillation is set up on the string, and in a pipe with one end open and one end closed with a length of half of the string resonance is...

    Debunking the Myth of Starvation Mode and Metabolism

    Is there really such a thing called "starvation mode?" In other words, does a person's metabolism lower if he starves himself? I have heard reports that a persons metabolism actually rises for s short while, then lowers. Also, can't coffee and exercise raise your metabolism? For example: If a...

    Building a Compact and Efficient Power Supply: Can ICs Provide the Solution?

    Hi there, I'd like to switch 220-250v AC (50/60Hz) to 5 or 3.3v DC as easily and in the physically smallest way possible. Can someone offer advice on this? Do there exist IC's that will just do this for me? I have experience with LSR's but a transformer is too bulky for my needs. Thanks!

    Mode of 1,1,2,2: Is it 1, 2, Both, or None?

    what is the mode (modus) of 1,1,2,2 I was checking the definition but it didn't count with two maximums. So is it 1,5 or both 1 and 2, or none of them?

    Mode expansion for a closed string?

    Hi. Suppose that I want to look at the BDH action for a bosonic string: S_{BDH} = -\frac{T}{2}\int d^2\sigma \sqrt{\gamma}\gamma^{ij}\partial_iX^a\partial_jX^b The string is in flat spacetime and \gamma_{ij} is an independent world-sheet metric. I know that going to conformal gauge allows...

    Why is there negative group velocity in the optical mode?

    The group velocity is always negative except k=0 and k=Pi/a in the optical mode, is there a reason from the general picture of crystal vibration? Well, it seems to me that optical mode describes the situation that different atoms in a unit cell have opposite motions. Also, in the optical...

    How Does Dirichlet Boundary Condition Affect Open String Mode Expansion?

    Compute the mode expansion for an open string with Neumann boundary conditions for the coordinates X^0,..., X^24, while the remaining coordinate X^25 satisfies Dirichlet boundary conditions at both ends: \[ X^{25}(0, \tau) = X^{25}_0 \quad \text{and} \quad X^{25}(\pi, \tau) = X^{25}_\pi \, ...

    COMMON MODE VOLTAGE? Can it be a DC voltage?

    Can a so called "common mode voltage" be a dc voltage?? Say there is a simple series circuit... a DC source.. a resistor.. and finally a motor. The point where the motor meets the DC source is the ground. Neither side of the resistor is at ground potential. So if we want to measure the...

    So the new equation for V1 is:V1=\frac{-Vo}{Rf/R1}+V2

    Hi, I was wondering how you would re-arrange the differntial mode equation : Vo=(V2-V1)*(Rf/R1) to have V1 as the subject of the formula - its been annoying me for ages. thanks
