The paper presents the last version of a rad-hard digital chip together with a full end-ladder card prototype of the data acquisition (DAQ) chain of the ALICE SDD experiment. The chip has been designed and constructed using a rad-hard digital library provided by CERN. The end-ladder card includes all the electronic devices foreseen for the DAQ chain of ALICE SDD experiment. Moreover the card in...

ABSTRACT The single-phased power receivers, supplied to the industrial frequency, represent very inductive loads. These are connected to the three-phased network through the Steinmetz connection symmetrizing devices. Considering an experimental model which is reproducing in a small scale the real device, we have realized the designing of the control system, connected to the output interface of ...

OBJECTIVE To study, in a sample of French Family Practitioners (FPs), beliefs and attitudes toward depression and how they vary according to training received in mental health. METHODS The Depression Attitude Questionnaire (DAQ) was completed by 468 FPs from all regions of France, recruited by pharmaceutical company representatives to attend focus groups on the management of depression in gen...

The phototransformation of phenol in aqueous solution was studied with different quinoid compounds, which are usually detected on atmospheric particulate matter: 2-ethylanthraquinone (EtAQ), benzanthracene-7,12-dione (BAD), 5,12-naphthacenequinone (NQ), 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ), and 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DAQ). All the studied quinones were able to sensitise the phototransformation of pheno...

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the power spectrum are powerful tools for analyzing and measuring signals from plug-in data acquisition (DAQ) devices. For example, you can effectively acquire time-domain signals, measure the frequency content, and convert the results to real-world units and displays as shown on traditional benchtop spectrum and network analyzers. By using plug-in DAQ devic...

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is designed to handle interaction rates of up 10 MHz and 1 TB/s raw data generated. With triggerless streaming acquisition in the beam intensity fluctuations, it expected that occasional bursts will surpass bandwidth capabilities Data Acquisition System (DAQ) system. In order preserve integrity event data, DAQ must be throttled an organised way wi...
