    Is real mode limited to 16-bit instructions on the 8086 processor?

    Hello Does anyone know if its true that all software running in real mode must use only 16-bit instructions? is there an authorised sourcet that can aprove od deny it?

    When to consider yielding vs. rupture as a mode of failure?

    Are there any general rules of thumb for which to choose? I have a lot of ambigous HW problems which don't specify, they just list a safety factor. For example, if I have a mass hanging on a metal wire with a specified safety factor, then I mean it will buckle at the yield strengh but only...

    Single Axial Mode And Spectral Hole Burning

    Reflection at a surface takes place under the condition that the field amplitude is zero at the reflecting surface. As a result, the axial modes i of wavelength λi inside a laser cavity can be defined by their number ni of sine-wave half cycles that fit exactly into the laser cavity. The optical...

    Is the normal mode frequency of harmonic oscillator related to temperature?

    It is well known that for an isolated system, the normal mode frequency of a N-body harmonic oscillator satisfies Det(T-\omega^{2}V)=0. How about a non-isolated, fixed temperature system? In solid state physics I have learned that in crystal the frequency does not change, but the amplitude of...

    Discontinuous Conduction Mode (Buck-Converter)

    Why does DCM work the way it does? Because it makes no sense (To me, obviously). Not how it works. Why it works. The intuitive form, to me, would be that a lighter load would mean more time before the loop discharges, (due to tau = L/R) but apparently it's the other way around in a buck...
