Dynamic range compression system

Figure 9 Data path of architecture for dynamic range compression system consisting of a MPY unit of reduced size and two ALUs The routing blocks at the EX U inputs take care of signal alignment.

Several different systems have been proposed for two-channel dynamic-range compression. The most common approach is independent operation of the two channels [Villchur, 1973], Commercial products incorporating adjustable gains, compression... 

The Foxboro TVA-IOOOB Toxic Vapor Analyzer is a dual PID and FID system. The two detectors can be used individually or in combination. Results are displayed in parts per mihion, parts per billion, or as percent concentration. The PID has a dynamic range of 0.5 to 2000 ppm of isobutylene using a 10.6-eV lamp, while the FID has a dynamic range of I to 10,000 ppm of methane. A pressurized hydrogen cylinder is used to provide the hydrogen for FID operation. The 85-cc cylinder of compressed hydrogen at 2200 psi lasts for approximately 8 hr of continuous operation. 

In this section we demonstrate the synthesis methodology and Cathedral-2nd script to design an efficient architecture for a system for compression of the dynamic range of audio signals. 

All compressed air systems that use a positive displacement compressor must be fitted with a pressure relief or safety valve that will limit the discharge or inter-stage pressures to a safe maximum limit. Most dynamic compressors must have similar protection due to restrictions placed on casing pressure, power input and/or keeping out of surge range. 

We have carried out a number of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on small hydrocarbon molecules in the solid phase using the AREBO potential. The studies were motivated, at least in part, by a desire to understand the possible chemical reactions of these materials under shock compression in planetary systems due to impact of comets or meteorites into planetary atmospheres. In addition, we were interested in learning more about the detailed kinetics of shock-induced chemistry in condensed phases, a subject in which little experimental information is available. For example, it is of some interest to examine the orientation dependence of shock impact, the spatial and temporal extent of the reaction zone, the time scale of energy thermalization, and the range of reaction products for each of the materials studied.
