#modular buffer

[cinnamonwolfy]

pltk can render fonts now, which means the renderer is complete :3

i will have to eventually make an internal buffer renderer api, so that way, it's a lot more modular and easier to add new backends :3

i'm currently adding input support rn to the fbdev backend via evdev. im not gonna be using libevdev or libinput since the point of the fbdev backend is that it is completely self-contained and can run on base portalinux with no external dependencies. in fact, i plan on eventually adding the pltk-backend component to base portalinux :3

anyways, im going eepy now =w=

Hey, long-time Caliban pilot here with some questions, first of all, do y'all have a print-code variation for one without all the physical enhancement systems? The motors are nice and all, but... They're too slow, and I keep breaking the damn things...

And, secondly, would there be, ah, any potential complications to mounting an Athena-Class NHP in a rig designed for m- a Sekhmet-Class? Partner's been having some complaints about weird data, and is, ah, a bit more trigger-happy than I would assume is typical for the class, which... Isn't exactly a problem, per se, but I worry about her.

- 'Rictus'

Hello Rictus!

We’re sorry to hear you’re having problems with your Caliban! To answer your question: yes, the printcode for the Caliban is fully modular, and you should be able to remove or change out the physical enhancement motors. If the base Caliban motors are too slow (we assume you may be breaking them because you’re pushing harder/faster than them somehow?) for your tastes, we recommend replacing them with motors from our Nelson line, which are purpose-built for durability and speed.

As for your partner: while it is abnormal to have an ATHENA operating in a SEKHMET mount, there should be no compatibility issues. Based on your data issues, we believe you may not have cleared the engram buffers, so there may still be leftovers of the last person hooked into the mount. Remember there are both secondary and tertiary buffers to scrub as well!

Let us know if these fixes work for you!

Using some unconventional sound sources to make something a bit anxious.

As I've been getting used to Traffic, the case I have set up only has Taiko and Daiko (and ABD) as voices. This was fine, but I found myself wanting an oscillator. Instead of restructuring, I got a little modular with it - the lead voice in this patch is actually Data Bender in micro mode with a frozen buffer, with time and repeats so high that it acts as a pseudo-wavetable oscillator, where modulation affects the waveshape.

The bass voice is Akemie's Taiko triggered by channel 3 of Traffic. Due to the way the channels choke each other, this creates novel riffs based on the first 2 channels being triggered, which makes Constellation's mutes an even more valuable performance feature.

My biggest gripe with Traffic, though, doesn't actually have to do with the module itself. But rather, how it interacts with Taiko. The drum samples the inputs as soon as it receives a trigger to synthesize the hit, but Traffic takes mere milliseconds to update its outputs, so using the two together leads to inconsistent drums - which can be good or bad. This is avoidable by programming a gate delay (in this case, I've been using uO_c Phazerville or Maestro), but it's a hassle nonethe less.

The ATP 50-C, or How Not To Do It

It was 2167 when Advanced Transport Prototypes, or ATP, elected to chance their arm at utility craft. Company head Errin Purreck had seen the success of other manufacturers, and elected to follow a strategy that they'd had success with in the past - reuse the company's existing designs to ensure proven performance while undercutting the competiton.

At least, that was the theory.

At the time, ATP lacked a small scale chassis with suitable robustness for utility work, so a compromise was made - effectively performing a cut-and-shut on the ATP 75 platform to shorten it to a practical length. This design is what gave it the 50-C designation, with Purreck hoping that if the platform was successful then other variants could be made, drawing up first drafts of the 50-D (Inter-ship delivery vehicle) and 50-S (Small scale debris sweeper). These were only half complete when the 50-C entered practical trials, and a number of issues raised their ugly heads.

First on the list was thrust control. Though the bank of thrusters at the rear of the aircraft had been adjusted to account for the fine manoeuvring, it still used two of the thrusters from the original 75 design. Shortening the chassis meant relocating and shrinking the fuel tanks, which caused fuel starvation on longer operations and meant that the micro thrusters frequently had to be used. Prototype 01 was condemned when the main thrusters ignited suddenly post-starvation, sending the craft into the side of the dock with an impact that it's pilot was lucky to survive.

Second on the list was the cleaning fluid storage, which had been split into two tanks on either side of the craft. This was to accomodate the corridor at the back of the craft that the pilot used to enter the cockpit, with the potential for using two different cleaning fluids. The original design for the front of the craft had two spray guns, with an interchangeable buffer head for both. As the two tanks weren't linked, if one drained faster than the other then it could become unbalanced - with predictable results. Prototype 02 was condemned when Tank 1 was drained completely while Tank 2 was still 78% full during testing, requiring use of the side thrusters to keep the craft balanced until it returned to dock. This use damaged the Port side thrusters beyond repair.

Last on the list were the manipulator arms. Head of Development for the project, Iona Miskil, sourced the design from Evrincrad Engineering. The design was apparently originally intended for fine motor work, but was more within budget than other offerings. Their shortcomings were more than apparent when buffing pads were added to the left hand arm in place of the second sprayer - the arms suffered from droop after a mere fraction of their intended service life, and mid-testing inspection found signs of metal fatigue around the base. At this point, with costs mounting and no clear sign of the craft being able to enter service, the project was cancelled. ATP 50-C 03 currently sits in the Museum of Practical Spacecraft on Moterrel Station, where she serves as a gate guardian.

Although the 50 was ultimately a failure, the post-program review lead to the start of ATP's modular chassis program, which would ultimately culminate in their most successful design, the 100.

So I'm working on another Eurorack module, definitely the most complicated and ambitious one I've attempted. I'm starting with a proven circuit, and the modifications I'm making are extant in others' versions — but since I don't know exactly how they made those mods, I'm muddling through with it. It doesn't help that the circuit is mostly analog, and that it's got History, and that it's really weird to start with.

The circuit itself goes back to the 1970s, and the progenitor of West Coast Synthesis, Buchla, in the form of their module 266, the Source of Uncertainty. As the name suggests, it's all about noise and randomness, with different colors of noise and different kinds of random voltages to modulate other circuits. The idea was reworked in the 1990s by Grant Richter for his modular company, Wiard. He came up with a three-part design: a clock generator, a system that uses that clock to generate three kinds of random control voltages, and a set of audio voices based on those random voltages. He called this the Wogglebug, named after the character from the Oz books. He published the circuit for this, and a revised version with some extra bells and whistles is made by Make Noise as the Richter Wogglebug; a close variant of the Wiard module was made as a DIY kit by Erica Synths, who then redesigned it to be their Swamp module, also a DIY kit. When they stopped making the Swamp a few years ago, they released the design as open source, and that's my starting point.

On the Swamp, the clock controls how often the sample and hold, well, holds; you can affect the internal clock rate via the Rate knob or by control voltage (attenuated by the Rate CV knob), or you can plug in an external clock. The Stepped CV Is just the bare sample and hold, steady random voltages until the next clock. Smooth CV is that but with a slope between the steps — that signal but smoothed out. The Smooth Range knob affects how quickly that slope can change; at slower settings it'll not quite get to the destination if it's too big a jump. The Swamp CV does what the other modules called "Woggling" — it heads for the desired voltage but it overshoots, it swoops around while homing in on the Stepped voltage. The Tone and the Swamp outputs are audio following the Stepped CV and the Swamp CV — each can be either a square wave or a triangle wave, selectable by the switches — and the two are combined via ring mod at the Ring output. If you plug an external audio signal in, it overrides the Tone signal to be RM'ed with the Swamp.

There are a couple of details of the Swamp's design I have to work around to start. First, the design depends on vactrols — encapsulated devices where an LED illuminates a light-dependant resistor — which can be difficult to get these days, particularly in the one-LED-and-two-LDR version that one of them must be. I think I have that sorted out. The second bit is the sample-and-hold chip it uses. The original used the LF398 monolithic S&H chip, but the Swamp instead switched that out for the K1100CK2, the Eastern-bloc S&H chip, which is very easy for a Latvian company like Erica to get but is more difficult to find for an American. So I've revised the circuit to swap the LF398 back in, using the original Wogglebug circuit as my guide.

The other tricky parts with my design process are including the modifications that Make Noise introduced. There are three: a manual pushbutton to hold a voltage in place, an output for the 'bursts' of random gates, and an alternate input to the sample and hold circuit, which you can crossfade with the internal source. The button is created by just shorting the "Hold" pin on the chip to ground, so that's easy enough. The output for "Bursts" just needed a jack, though i may add a buffer so that it doesn't affect the internals. But the alternate S&H signal source took some doing; I think I've settled on a three-opamp crossfade circuit that Tom Wiltshire of Electric Druid posted.

Of course, now that I've figured out the circuit and schematics, the hard part is going to be laying out the circuit boards. It's going to be a pretty big module spread across two different boards — one for the seven pots, 12 jacks, two switches, and single pushbutton, and one for the guts of the circuit proper — plus a front panel with all its labels and design elements. It's always a little tricky taking a design from schematic to PCB layout, and this one's penchant for odd feedback loops is going to make things even more exciting.

For what it's worth, I'm planning on calling this module the Unsound Methodology HMTE, because the original Oz character (eventually the head of Oz's university) introduced himself as H.M. Wogglebug, T.E.: Highly Magnified Wogglebug, Thoroughly Educated.

Weight value storage: Storing weight value provides a computable platform to measure production efficiency. Proper statistical reports can be formulated with the stored weight measurements in the memory of a check-weighing machine.

Data export and printability: Another important function of a modern check-weighing system is its data format and export capability. For example, a modern checkweigher can store and export up to 1 million weight measurement data in a readable format. This data can be exported via USB and printed for further calculations.

Belt size and speed: Belt speed and size determine how efficiently a check-weighing solution can handle products of different sizes. Modern solutions include a belt size of 40 cm x 25 cm, achieving a maximum speed of 40m/minute. The durability of the belt also determines the smooth flow of this operation. Most modern belts are made of white polyurethane (PU).

Weighing accuracy: It all depends on the weighing accuracy of a Checkweigher solution. For example, a checkweigher measuring weights ranging from 100 grams to 1200 grams with an accuracy buffer of ± 0.7 grams is perfect for modern operations.

Metal detection functions

The metal detection function, a crucial part of a checkweigher solution, must be sensitive enough to detect metal contaminants. The fast-moving products on the belt provide very little time to detect microcontaminants. The modern features of metal detection functions are:

High-speed metal contaminant detection

Alarm or notification feature

Auto-programming feature

Design features

These design features of a checkweigher system determine how it can fit in any industrial environment.

Industry-grade SS304 stainless steel structure makes it moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant.

PU belt for strength, durability, and long-term operational functions

Rejection section with push type, air blow, or swing arm feature for careful rejection of substandard products

Can handle a maximum humidity level of 90% RH (no condensation)

Adjustable metal detector and platform heights

Handling weighing operations at a temperature range of 0 to 40°C

Checkweigher with a Metal Detector: A Game-changing Combination

The above mentioned features explain how crucial a checkweigher solution is for industries handling sensitive products. Here is the list of benefits an industry can add to its daily operations.

How do office interiors in Chennai handle noise reduction?

In the bustling corporate landscape of Chennai, managing noise levels within office interiors is essential for creating a productive and comfortable work environment. Excessive noise can disrupt concentration, hinder communication, and negatively impact employee well-being. To address this challenge, office interiors in Chennai employ various strategies to reduce noise effectively. Let’s delve into how these spaces tackle noise reduction and create conducive work environments.

1. Acoustic Design Elements

Integrating acoustic design elements is a fundamental strategy for noise reduction in office interiors. In Chennai, where bustling streets and urban noise can penetrate indoor spaces, utilizing sound-absorbing materials such as acoustic ceiling tiles, wall panels, and flooring can help dampen unwanted noise. These materials absorb sound waves, reducing reverberation and minimizing the transmission of noise between areas within the office.

2. Partition Systems

Partition systems play a crucial role in dividing office spaces while providing acoustic separation. Offices in Chennai often utilize modular partition systems made of soundproof materials to create private work areas and meeting rooms. These partitions effectively block sound transmission, providing employees with quiet spaces for focused work and confidential discussions.

3. Furniture Selection

Choosing the right furniture can significantly impact noise levels in office interiors. In Chennai, offices opt for furniture with sound-absorbing properties, such as upholstered chairs and sofas, to help mitigate noise. Additionally, selecting furniture with soft materials and rounded edges can reduce sound reflections and contribute to a quieter work environment.

4. Layout Optimization

Optimizing the layout of office interiors is essential for noise reduction. Chennai offices strategically arrange workstations, meeting areas, and collaborative spaces to minimize noise disturbances. Placing noisy equipment, such as printers and copiers, away from quiet work areas and incorporating buffer zones between high-traffic and low-noise areas can help maintain a peaceful atmosphere throughout the office.

5. Sound Masking Systems

Sound masking systems are increasingly being used in office interiors in Chennai to reduce the perceived impact of background noise. These systems emit low-level, ambient noise that masks speech and other distractions, making it less noticeable to employees. By creating a consistent background sound, sound masking systems improve speech privacy and enhance overall comfort in the workplace.

6. Enclosed Meeting Spaces

Designating enclosed meeting spaces is essential for conducting confidential discussions without disturbing neighboring work areas. Offices in Chennai often incorporate enclosed meeting pods or soundproof conference rooms equipped with acoustic doors and double-glazed windows to prevent noise leakage. These spaces provide employees with privacy and ensure that meetings can be conducted without interruption.

7. Greenery and Soft Surfaces

Integrating greenery and soft surfaces into office interiors can contribute to noise reduction. Plants act as natural sound absorbers, helping to absorb high-frequency noise and reduce reverberation. Similarly, incorporating soft furnishings such as rugs, curtains, and fabric wall coverings can help dampen sound reflections and create a more comfortable acoustic environment in Chennai offices.

Conclusion

In conclusion, effective noise reduction is essential for maintaining a productive and harmonious work environment in office interiors in Chennai. By incorporating acoustic design elements, utilizing partition systems, selecting appropriate furniture, optimizing layout, implementing sound masking systems, designating enclosed meeting spaces, and integrating greenery and soft surfaces, Chennai offices can successfully mitigate noise disturbances and create conducive workspaces. By prioritizing noise reduction strategies, office interiors in Chennai can enhance employee well-being, foster collaboration, and ultimately, improve overall productivity in the corporate landscape.

How does a Power and Free Conveyor Systems work?

Power and Free conveyor systems are a sophisticated evolution of traditional conveyor technology. They consist of two main tracks: the “power” track, which moves continuously and delivers power to the carriers, and the “free” track, where carriers can stop independently of the movement of the power chain. This dual-track design allows for greater control over the movement and accumulation of loads, offering significant advantages in manufacturing and assembly environments.

Advantages of Power and Free Conveyor Systems

Flexibility and Adaptability: One of the standout features of P&F systems is their ability to accommodate a wide range of products with varying sizes and weights. The independent movement of carriers on the free track allows for simultaneous handling of multiple products or assemblies, making them ideal for complex production lines where different processes or assembly steps are required.

Enhanced Efficiency: By decoupling the movement of carriers from the main drive chain (power track), P&F systems enable non-stop operations even when products need to be halted for assembly, inspection, or additional processing. This “stop-and-go” capability minimizes downtime and optimizes throughput, thereby boosting overall efficiency.

Increased Control and Safety: P&F conveyor systems offer precise control over the movement and positioning of loads. This level of control enhances safety by reducing the risk of collisions or mishandling of products, which is crucial in high-speed production environments.

Space Utilization: With their ability to accumulate and buffer loads independently on the free track, P&F systems optimize floor space utilization. They can be configured to handle complex layouts, including overhead and vertical arrangements, maximizing the use of available space in manufacturing facilities.

Scalability and Maintenance: These systems are scalable and can be easily expanded or modified to meet changing production demands. Maintenance is streamlined due to modular design principles and standardized components, ensuring minimal downtime for upkeep and repairs.

Applications of Power and Free Conveyor Systems in Industries

Power and Free conveyor systems find applications across various industries:

Automotive: Used extensively in automotive assembly lines for transporting car components through multiple stages of production.

Manufacturing: Ideal for handling diverse product lines in manufacturing plants, from electronics to consumer goods.

Warehousing and Distribution: Effective in warehousing and distribution centers for sorting, buffering, and transporting goods efficiently.

Workflow Example

Loading: Products are loaded onto carriers on the free track.

Transportation: Carriers move independently along the free track.

Assembly/Processing: Carriers stop at assembly stations or accumulation zones.

Divergence: Carriers can be diverted to different tracks as needed.

Continued Movement: Carriers re-engage with the power chain to continue their journey.

Unloading: Products are unloaded from carriers at designated points.

Benefits

Efficiency: Minimizes downtime with continuous operation of the power track.

Flexibility: Handles various products and assembly processes effectively.

Space Utilization: Optimizes floor space with versatile layout options.

Safety: Precise control reduces collisions and ensures smooth operations.

Future Trends and Innovations

As industries continue to embrace automation and smart manufacturing technologies, the evolution of P&F conveyor systems is also progressing. Integration with IoT (Internet of Things) for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, incorporation of advanced sensors for enhanced load handling, and adoption of energy-efficient components are some of the trends shaping the future of these systems.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Power and Free conveyor systems represent a cornerstone of modern industrial automation, offering unparalleled flexibility, efficiency, and scalability. Their ability to handle diverse product requirements while optimizing space and ensuring safety makes them indispensable in today’s competitive manufacturing landscape. As technology continues to advance, these systems will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the factories of tomorrow, where precision, speed, and reliability are paramount.

Whether in automotive plants, electronics manufacturing, or distribution centers, the adoption of Power and Free conveyor systems underscores a commitment to efficiency and innovation, driving towards a future where production processes are not just streamlined but also smarter and more sustainable.
