![]() There are three versions of Pianoteq: Stage, Standard and Pro, priced respectively at $149 USD, $299 and $449. The demo download is good for an unlimited time, but eight notes are suppressed (none of them in the octaves immediately either side of middle C) and the software must be restarted every 20 minutes. The software may be installed on up to three computers. Activation is easy (and dongle-less) with an internet connection offline activation is supported. It also can be run as a standalone application. Pianoteq can be run as a hosted plug-in and is available in formats compatible with all current mainstream DAWs. In the next issue of Soundbytes Magazine, we’ll come back to take a look at the other available instruments – and there are a lot of them.įirst let’s dispense with the technical aspects and the pricing. In Part 1 of this review, we’ll look at the overall software and the modern pianos implemented with it. ![]() The sound quality available is extraordinary across the board. But Pianoteq is also well equipped to make the sounds of lesser pianos (both modern and historical), plucked string instruments (harpsichords and harps), tuned percussion (xylophones, vibraphones, and more), and several kinds of electric/amplified pianos. In Pianoteq magnificent concert grands are the star of the show – and there’s not one of them for which the term “magnificent” is inappropriate. An impressive amount of brainpower has gone into making this technology a reality. In fact, it you look at the About page of the Modartt web site, you might notice that five of the seven individuals introduced have “Dr.” in front of their name. It uses mathematical computational modeling to generate realistic musical instrument sound, a subject few mortals could even begin to understand. Until last year it was Modartt’s only product.

Like I’ve mentioned before, if you engage in furniture and cabinet making projects, you’ll find the router one of the most used tools in your tool arsenal.īut what exactly can you use it for? Cutting and Shaping Moldings Router Tool Uses Every Woodworker Should know Non-edge bits are mostly used when the router is mounted on a router table because they require the use of a fence to guide the workpiece through the bit. There’re high speed steel (HSS) bits, carbide-tipped bits and even solid carbide bits.Īpart from this material classification, they’re also classified according to how they’re used as edge bits, non-edge bits and anti-kickback bits.Įdge bits are specifically designed for creating moldings with the bit featuring a small wheel bearing that rolls along the edge of the work piece and acts as a fence against the workpiece. Router bits are generally classified according to the materials they’re made of. It all depends on the type of projects you’re working on. Most of the time, you’re going to be using straight bits and round over bits. However, you don’t necessarily need all the bits, because there’re up to 16 thousand varieties of bits, and I’m not sure anyone needs all of them. So, when shopping for router bits, it’s better to just get the whole set so you have most of the commonly used bits you need at your disposal. The more types of bits you have, the more sophisticated patterns, shapes and profiles you can create. The bits you have allow you to create the shapes, profiles and patterns you want to create in your stock. No matter the type of router you have, no matter how expensive or sophisticated it is, it all means nothing without the right router bits. What You Should Know About Router Cutters or Bits The motor is turned on and the bit is slowly rocked into the stock to continue the routing. One can also plunge-cut or rout through the middle a work piece with a fixed base unit by placing the base or sole plate at an angle on top of the stock with the cutting bit above the stock. With the fixed-base router, the cut depth is set first before the motor is turned on, while one side of the base plate is rested flat on the stock overhanging the edge so that the cutter does not contact the stock until the motor is turned on and the cutter is slowly guided through the edge. That is why it’s called a plunge-base router because the base can be set flat on the work surface with the cutter plunging into the work when it’s lowered. The base of the tool sits flat on the face of the stock being routed, the router is switched on, and the fast spinning bit is lowered into the stock. With the plunge-base router, you don’t need to set the cut depth before turning on the router. But these are all under the two main types which are plunge and fixed base. However there’re also other styles named according to the features each of them has.įor instance, there’re variable speed, laminate trimmers and cnc routers as well. The two main types are fixed-base router and plunge-base router. ![]() The router tool has a single basic form of a motor spinning a cutting bit, but it comes in two main types which allow the users more control over the tool. Mounting the router on a table also adds more stability to the tool allowing you to carry out more detailed work with it. With it attached to the table, you don’t handle the tool anymore.Īll you have to do is guide your work piece or stock through the fast spinning bit protruding through a hole in the table. It’s a hand tool, but it can also be attached to a table known as a router table. That means if you’re a woodworker, you’re going to find many uses for it when carrying out your projects. Its main use is to rout or hollow out hard materials like wood or plastic. ![]() Well, a router tool is simply a motor designed to spin a bit at an extremely high speed.

Typically BIDI single-fiber uses 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths over the same fiber strand in opposite directions. Single-fiber is single-mode and operates with bi-directional wavelengths, often referred to as BIDI. In some networks we need to convert between duplex fiber and single-fiber, depending on the type of equipment and the fiber installed in the facility. Multimode fiber equipment is in a campus building and single mode fiber is used between buildingsĪ fiber-to-fiber media converter can extend a multimode fiber network across single mode fiber up to 160km.ĭual (Duplex) Fiber to Single-Fiber Media Converter.A building has multimode fiber equipment, while the connection to the service provider is single mode fiber.Legacy networking equipment uses multimode fiber, and connectivity is required to single mode fiber equipment.Multimode to Single-mode Fiber Media ConverterĮnterprise networks often require conversion from multimode fiber to single mode fiber in these cases: In this example, a pair of RS-232 converters provides the serial connection between a PC and Terminal Server. They can automatically detect the signal baud rate of the connected Full-Duplex serial device, and support point-to-point and multi-point configurations. Serial-to-fiber converters provide fiber extension for serial protocol copper connections. In this application, a pair of T1/E1 media converters is used to extend the demarcation point (hand-off from the Service Provider) to another tenant building with fiber.

That alone is intimidating for the beginner, and quickly causes frustration and the tendency to give up, in my opinion. It requires setting up a workspace, and then a project, and then making sure files are members of the project. Once the student has become proficient, then it is a much more plausible choice to transition to Eclipse. A beginning programming student has no business trying to use a professional IDE, no more than a beginning student driver should be driving a high-powered Indy car. It is a professional level IDE, and many use that argument to justify using it. Many teachers and students use it, and have found it suitable, but for me it is too difficult, especially when trying to get setup and definitely when trying to use data file input. ![]() Let’s talk about Eclipse ( which is free and open source. I give it 4 1/2 stars, with the 1/2 star off for the lack of debugging with the free version. There are ways to get around that though, and the ease of use definitely trumps that disadvantage. The only down side I have discovered is that the free version does not have debugging features like step in and step over, or the ability to trace variable values. JCreator is distributed by the Xinox Corporation ( ), and is excellent for student use. Be careful though! It might say Learning Edition, and it turns out to be a 30-day trial after which they ask for money. JCreator is free if you download the “classic” student version. Another thing I really like about JCreator that I have not found in other IDEs is the ability to show the output in a separate console window. It may be possible with other IDEs, but I have not yet found out how to do it in others. Also, file input is easy just make sure the data file is in the same folder as the. ![]() I like it because it is easy to use, no workspaces or projects necessary, just open the file and go. I know many teachers who use it for the same reasons. I’ll start with JCreator ( it is what I used for years with my students, and with which I am most familiar and comfortable. JCreator has a paid version that is more powerful than the free version, but that is a choice you must make. The best thing about all these IDEs is that they are free to obtain and use. We’ll explore four of the more commonly used ones with which I am most familiar: Several IDEs are available out there, most for free, some at a cost. a way to compile/debug/run a program at the click of a button.a text editor in which programs are coded.Generally speaking, in my opinion after 20+ years of CS teaching, the easier an IDE is to learn how to use, the better it is for beginning students.Īn IDE essentially provides two primary functions: There are several out there, all equally effective, some easier to use, some powerful enough for professional use. It’s partly a word-processor, and partly a debugging, compiling and executing application for the program. Given that programming in itself is difficult enough, choosing a tool that streamlines this important learning process is crucial to student success and confidence.Īn IDE is an Integrated Development Environment, which simply means an application that serves as a convenient mechanism to develop and test programs in any language, including Java.

On December 19, 2007, LightZone was awarded a MacWorld's 23rd Annual Editors' Choice Award.Additionally, since transformations always begin with the original RAW image rather than an intermediate JPEG version, JPEG compression related editing artifacts are avoided. Indeed, the same transformations can be easily reordered and additional transformations applied subsequently to yield further image improvements. LightZone outputs JPEG files which contain metadata references to the original image file location and a record of the transformations applied during editing.īecause the JPEG output files that LightZone creates contain the entire transformation history, edits can always be undone in a new edit session, long after they were saved. By being non-destructive LightZone preserves the original "digital negative" which contains the maximum information originally captured by the camera, and allows additional images with different transformations to be produced from the original. When LightZone edits an original digital image, a new resulting post-edit image file is created (for example a new JPEG copy) and the original image file is left unaltered. It treats the digital image original (typically a RAW file) as precious and non-editable. LightZone is a non-destructive RAW editor. Once created, a style is easily applied to multiple images, allowing those standard camera compensations to be applied to every image before the photographer ever views or edits it. Using styles, photographers make and save their own preferred compensations for each RAW image based upon camera specific characteristics. LightZone can create and apply pre-determined image transformations, called "styles", to an entire batch of images in a single operation. LightZone edits both RAW and JPEG format images. On the LightZombie domain was redirected to the new site, and an announcement was made by Anton Kast (one of the original authors of LightZone) that they had negotiated to release the original LightZone source as free software. On-going LightZone support, including updates to let LightZone process Raw files from new camera models, is being provided by the volunteer LightZombie Project. The final version from Light Crafts was version 3.9, except for Mac OS X which had a bug-fix version 3.9.2. It is reported that Fabio Riccardi, founder of Light Crafts and the primary developer of LightZone, is now working as an Apple employee, as evidenced by his LinkedIn profile.

An understanding of multiple justices is essential in an age where interactions between peoples from different cultural backgrounds increase with unprecedented speed and scale, whether it is awareness of the vexed history of applying international law principles developed in the West the legacy of competing interpretations of justice and legality inherited from the past the importing of biomedical ethics and law in a community with a different view of personhood and the medicine-society relationship inter-state collaboration and conflict in defining terrorism after 9-11 or different approaches to financial regulation and monetary policies in different cultural contexts. These challenges require scholars and graduate students to understand and communicate not only across national/continental borders but also across disciplinary lines. Our global environment presents serious challenges emerging from the multiplicity of justices, leading to confusion and confrontation on several fronts: clandestine economies and the criminalization of poverty, terrorism and ultranationalism, sustainability and economic development, gender and immigration law, health and commercialization, medical law and ethics.
