Human bandwidth

Sound is an alteration in pressure, stress, particle displacement, and particle velocity, propagated in an elastic medium. Wave propagation is only longitudinal (i.e., compression) in gases and liquids but may also be transverse (i.e., shear) surface or other type in elastic media that can support such energy. The human bandwidth for sound ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Below 20 Hz is the domain of infrasounds while above 20 kHz is the region of ultrasounds. 

The filter and screen of the pyrometer shown ia Figure 9 require specific mention. From equation 21 it is evident that the observed radiation must be limited to a narrow bandwidth. Also, peak intensity does not occur at the same wavelength at different temperatures. The pyrometer is fitted with a filter (usually red) having a sharp cut-off, usually at 620 nm. The human eye is insensitive to fight of wavelength longer than 720 nm. The effective pyrometer wavelength is 655 nm. 

Research on the hearing process carried out by many people (see [Scharf, 1970]) led to a frequency analysis model of the human auditory system. The scale that the ear appears to use is called the critical band scale. The critical bands can be defined in various ways that lead to subdivisions of the frequency domain similar to the one shown in table 2.1. A critical band corresponds to both a constant distance on the cochlea and the bandwidth within which signal intensities are added to decide whether the combined signal exceeds a masked threshold or not. The frequency scale that is derived by mapping frequencies to critical band numbers is called the Bark scale. The critical band model is most useful for steady-state tones and noise. 

UVB (middle UV, 280 to 320 nm) UVB is extremely harmful to organisms and the primary cause of erythema (sunbuming of human skin). A large proportion of the UVB below 300 nm is absorbed by stratospheric ozone, but the small amount that does reach the Earth s surface is sufficient to cause significant damage and can be lethal. The primary consequence of ozone depletion is an increase in the bandwidth and intensity of shorter wavelengths of incident UVB.

Vision replacement involves displaying the information directly to the visual cortex of the human brain or via the optic nerve. Considerable research has been done on how to interface to the brain but problems have been experienced in obtaining a rehable link of sufficient bandwidth, as well as the human brain interpreting the data it is receiving. 

Centralized methods of sensor networking make impractical demands on cable installations and network bandwidth. The burden on commnnication system components, networks, and human resources can be drastically rednced if raw data are processed at the source and the decisions conveyed. The same holds true for systems with relatively thin communications pipes between a source and the end network or systems with large numbers of devices. The physical world generates an nnlimited quantity of data that can be observed, monitored, and controlled, bnt wireless telecommunications infrastructure are finite. Thus, even as mobile broadband services become available, processing of... 

We have developed a prototype collaborative virtual environment, which actively supports human-human communication in addition to human-machine conununi-cation, for molecular electronic structure theory. We submit that key elements of e-science, such as collaborative virtual environments, will evolve most rapidly and deliver a functionality required by practicing scientists if they are developed as part of a research project in the target discipline. This is the approach that we have followed in this work. We have developed a collaborative virtual environment for molecular electronic structure theory whilst undertaking research into aspects of the Brillouin-Wigner theory for many-body systems. Others working in molecular physics and quantum chemistry may find this a usefiil starting point for the development of improved environments. Such environments wiU undoubtedly evolve with time as higher bandwidths and new tools become available. 

Then the bandwidth is determined on the basis of defined effect probability threshold limit, e.g. 1% of human death probability. It stands to reason, that by the risk evaluation for more recipients, we get a different... 

Processing steps take time Any delay in the response of the output to a change in the input of greater than about 100 /ts is perceptible to the human operator as a sluggish response. Any delay in response reduces the overall system bandwidth. Parker and Scott (1985) suggest that delays between input and output should not exceed 200 fxs, and even this can be unacceptable for use with high performance prosthetic components.
