Thanks for the reply! Perhaps prototype isn't the right word. I'm not offering the physical prototype, but rather the design of it with source code. It's primarily a software product. This product is what the start-up set out to design, and to this point they have been unable to make one work...

Long story short, I built a prototype of a medical device in about 2 months, and it turns out a local start-up company has been working on something similar for over a year. They want to "buy" the prototype in exchange for some share of the company and a (probably underpaid) position. Since I...

tl;dr version: EE senior, wants to take grad course next semester, is there a standard way to do this? Detailed version: I'm an Electrical Engineering major at a state university, and just obtained senior standing. For next semester, I'm interested in taking the graduate version of a class...

I did just that as my first college course. If you're willing to study, and your algebra and trig is good, you should be fine. If you're even a little bit concerned about algebra or trig, go review it beforehand. Use Paul's math notes or a similar resource. As a side note, I think starting in...

Latches and flip flops - how is "stable state" defined? My textbook and professor both make numerous references to "stable state" of a latch of flip-flop, but never actually define it. It's not intuitive. For instance, if the present output Q is 0, and we input S=1 and R =0, the circuit's...

That's how most universities calculate it. I've never heard of one that doesn't calculate it that way (assuming equal credit hours per class).

Just realized the diagram I attached was small, hopefully this one's easier to read.

Homework Statement If an average power of 500W is dissipated in the 20Ω resistor, find Vrms, I S RMS, the power factor seen by the source, and the magnitude of VS (Based on circuit in attached diagram) Homework Equations Pave= Irms*Vrms*pf*\frac{1}{2} Imaginary number referred to as...

I have my first real lab class this semester (intro to circuits), and I'm kind of nervous. In high school chemistry I always felt like a burden in lab class; I could do fine on the tests, but in lab I always felt behind. By the time I thought to do something my teammates were usually already...

Edit: Nevermind, misread what you wrote. My bad.

Yep. Now is momentum a vector quantity? Does the sign matter?

Yes. Now how does that apply to the problem? If p = mv, what is change in p?

Remember the formula for momentum?

Two things that I believe are very important: 1: Memorize those odd formulas in your textbook (yes, even the weird harmonic motion ones.) They can come in very handy. 2: Learn to spot connections- especially the conservation of energy ones.

I think the power is on the ln(u), not on u itself. He closed the parenthesis before adding the power, so it appears to be : f(x) =(ln(u))^k.
