Q:

Use Darlington instead of multiple transistors? If so which one?

Using the example half way down a web page titled "Using the BBB to turn on a transistor" I wanted to know if a similar layout could use a Darlington to drive multiple LEDs instead of individual 2N3904 transistors? I'm thinking based on other forum posts I can and this is what I would need. Can someone please confirm?
I believe to mirror the examples layout of the LED after the transistor this Darlington would work.
OR
I could put the LED before the transistor and use something like this?

A:

Whether using a darlington or not I wouldn't use the circuit you show - see below - your circuit alongside a better way to drive the LED: -

Looking at the right hand picture, the transistor is easily turned on to saturation by the GPIO output because the emitter is directly grounded with the LED and series current limiting resistor in the collector.
On your design, to switch on the transistor sufficiently you have to overcome the LED forward voltage (about 2V) before the base-emitter junction can start to conduct then, you need another 0.6 to 0.7V above that. If your GPIO is 3.3V then you'd get away with it but anything lower than 2.7V and you aint gonna get the brightness from the LED you think you should.
Another option is to use your circuit and reverse the position of current limiting resistor and LED - you won't need the base resistor for this either so it's a bit simpler. Now, the GPIO sets a voltage on the base (say 2.7V) leaving 2v across the newly placed emitter resistor - if that resistance is 100 ohm, the 2V will ensure that 20mA flows thru the LED in the collector and providing the collector voltage is about 4v or greater, 20mA will always flow - don't make collector voltage too high though as this will warm up the 2N3904 because it is now current regulating and (say) on a 12V supply it will be dropping 8v across it which means a power dissipation of 8 x 20mA = 0.16watts - not too bad but don't go much higher if no heatsinking is used.
The same applies when using a darlington except the transistor "imposes" about another 0.7V between collector and emitter when conducting meaning it will still work on a 5V supply but not much lower.

Lesson: Using Darlington Transistors

Introduction:
A Darlington transistor is a type of transistor that uses two transistors connected together to form a single device. It has an additional feature called "current amplification" which allows it to control higher voltages and currents than regular transistors. In this lesson, we will learn about Darlington transistors and how they can be used to replace multiple transistors in a circuit.

Section 1: What is a Darlington Transistor?

A Darlington transistor is a type of transistor that uses two transistors connected together to form a single device. It has an additional feature called "current amplification" which allows it to control higher voltages and currents than regular transistors.

Section 2: How do Darlington Transistors Work?

Darlington transistors work by using two transistors connected together in a way that allows the current flowing through one transistor to control the current flowing through the other transistor. This is done by using a common base connection for both transistors. The first transistor acts as a switch that turns on and off depending on the current flowing through its base. When the base current is high enough, the second transistor turns on and amplifies the current flowing through it.

Section 3: Why Use a Darlington Transistor Instead of Multiple Transistors?

Using a Darlington transistor instead of multiple transistors can save space and reduce the number of components needed in a circuit. It also reduces the amount of current needed to turn on the transistor, making it more energy-efficient. Additionally, Darlington transistors can handle higher voltages and currents than regular transistors, making them suitable for applications that require more power.

Section 4: Example Circuit

Here is an example circuit that uses a Darlington transistor to control three LEDs:

```
+----------------+         +------------+
|     LED1       |         |   LED2    |
|                 |         |           |
|          R1    |         |   R2      |
|                 |         |           |
|              B1    |         |   B2     |
|                 |         |           |
|             Q1    |         |   Q2     |
|                 |         |           |
|                 |         |           |
|                 |         |           |
|                 |         |           |
+----------------+         +------------+
```

In this circuit, Q1 is a Darlington transistor that controls LED1 and LED2. R1 and R2 are current limiting resistors that ensure the LEDs don't burn out when the transistor is turned on. B1 and B2 are the base connections for Q1. When B1 is high, Q1 turns on and lights up LED1 and LED2.

Section 5: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about Darlington transistors and how they can be used to replace multiple transistors in a circuit. We covered what they are, how they work, why they are useful, and provided an example circuit. By understanding how Darlington transistors work, we can create more efficient and powerful circuits that require fewer components and use less energy.

Measurement of bilirubin partition coefficients in bile salt micelle/aqueous buffer solutions by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
The partition coefficients for the distribution of bilirubin between aqueous phosphateborate buffer and cholic, taurocholic, taurodeoxycholic, and taurochenodeoxycholic micelles have been measured by micellar electrokinetic chromatography at pH 8.5. Determination of the partition coefficients required that the critical micelle concentration and partial specific volumes be determined for each bile salt. Critical micelle concentrations were slightly higher for the trihydroxy bile salts. Partial specific volumes of the bile salt micelles differed very little from each other, and for each bile salt they were constant over the concentration range studied, which was typically from slightly above the critical micelle concentration to 35 mM. Capacity factors were corrected for the effects of applied voltage by extrapolation of the capacity factor to zero applied volts. The free solution mobility of bilirubin, determined in the absence of bile salt, was also corrected for the effects of applied voltage. Plots of extrapolated capacity factor versus phase ratio yield the partition coefficient as the slope of a linear fit to the data. Partition coefficients for bilirubin were significantly higher for dihydroxy bile salts than for trihydroxy bile salts.

When I go to start it sometimes it sounds like it struggles to turn over. It turns over once or twice, doesn't start and then an odd whirring noise comes from the engine bay which lasts about 1-2 mins and turns off. It might do this a couple of times and then finally start. It is not the battery as the last time it happened I was at a garage so they connected a jump start pack and it did the same! Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Q:

Multiple paths to the same server share

I would like to use two paths to the same share, for example
\\server\share

and
\\test\share

I have a DNS entry for both names pointing to the servers IP but only one resolves, the additional name 'test' in this case doesn't work I get the error "the target account name is incorrect".
Why would this be?

A:

I'm guessing that the one that works is the one that uses the Computer Name of the server in question, and I'm also guessing that your two entries are both Host (A) records.
Firstly you need to delete the A record that relates to the second name ("test") and recreate it as an Alias (CNAME) record pointing to the original Host (A) record for "server".  Then you need to read the following KB article and implement the steps outlined in it (don't worry that the symptoms as described are different to your's, it is the same thing).

Temporal characterization of mercury accumulation at different trophic levels and implications for metal biomagnification along a coastal food web.
The main goal of this study was to assess temporal mercury variations along an estuarine food web to evaluate the mercury contamination level of the system and the risks that humans are exposed to, due to mercury biomagnification. The highest mercury concentrations in the sediments and primary producers (macrophytes) were observed during winter sampling. Instead, the highest mercury concentrations in the water, suspended particulate matter as well as in the zooplanktonic and suprabenthic communities were observed during summer sampling. Evidences of mercury biomagnification along the food web were corroborated by the positive biomagnification factors, particularly for omnivorous macrobenthic species. Comparing the mercury levels at distinct components with several environmental quality criteria it suggests that sediments, water and edible species (e.g., bivalve Scrobicularia plana and the crustacean Carcinus maenas) presented higher mercury levels than the values accepted by legislation which represent a matter of concern for the environment and human health.

Temporal characterization refers to the process of studying how something changes over time. In the context of mercury accumulation, scientists study how mercury levels change in different components of the ecosystem over time.

1.2 How does mercury accumulate in coastal ecosystems?
Mercury can accumulate in coastal ecosystems through various pathways, including direct discharge from industrial processes, runoff from agricultural lands, and atmospheric deposition. Once mercury enters the ecosystem, it can accumulate in sediments, water, and living organisms.

1.3 What are the different trophic levels in a coastal food web?
A food web is a complex network of interactions among living organisms in an ecosystem. In coastal ecosystems, the different trophic levels include primary producers (e.g., phytoplankton), primary consumers (e.g., zooplankton), secondary consumers (e.g., small fish), tertiary consumers (e.g., larger fish or marine mammals), and top predators (e.g., humans).

Section 2: Biomagnification and Mercury Contamination

2.1 What is biomagnification?
Biomagnification refers to the process by which the concentration of a substance (such as mercury) increases as you move up the food chain. This occurs because living organisms at higher trophic levels consume organisms at lower trophic levels, which in turn have consumed smaller amounts of the substance. As a result, the concentration of the substance increases with each level of the food chain.

2.2 How does mercury biomagnify in coastal ecosystems?
In coastal ecosystems, mercury can biomagnify through the food web as smaller organisms (such as phytoplankton and zooplankton) take up mercury from the environment and are consumed by larger organisms (such as fish and shellfish). These larger organisms are then consumed by even larger organisms, leading to increasingly higher levels of mercury in the tissues of top predators (such as humans).

Section 3: Implications for Human Health

3.1 Why is mercury a concern for human health?
Mercury is a toxic substance that can cause a range of health problems in humans, including neurological damage, kidney damage, and developmental delays in children. When humans consume seafood contaminated with high levels of mercury, they risk exposure to this toxic substance.

3.2 What are the sources of mercury exposure for humans?
Humans can be exposed to mercury through the consumption of contaminated seafood, as well as through other sources such as air pollution and certain industrial processes.

Conclusion:
Understanding the temporal characterization of mercury accumulation at different trophic levels and the implications for metal biomagnification along a coastal food web is crucial for assessing the risks associated with mercury contamination in coastal ecosystems. By studying these processes, scientists can develop strategies to reduce mercury exposure and protect human health.

text: In this paper, we characterize the Thermo-optic properties of silicon nitride ring resonators between 18 and 300 K. The Thermo-optic coefficients of the silicon nitride core and the oxide cladding are measured by studying the temperature dependence of the resonance wavelengths. The resonant modes show low temperature dependence at cryogenic temperatures and higher dependence as the temperature increases. We find the Thermo-optic coefficients of PECVD silicon nitride and silicon oxide to be 2.51 +/- 0.08 E-5 K-1 and 0.96 +/- 0.09 E-5 K-1 at room temperature while decreasing by an order of magnitude when cooling to 18 K. To show the effect of variations in the thermo-optic coefficients on device performance, we study the tuning of a fully integrated electrically tunable filter as a function of voltage for different temperatures. The presented results provide new practical guidelines in designing photonic circuits for studying low-temperature optical phenomena.. QC 20160614
