plate (DeWitt). Millikan then decides to raise the voltage to its highest and notices that the droplet goes toward the negative plate (DeWitt). This happens because the electric charge is a lot larger than the gravitational pull (DeWitt). He then experiments different voltages and notices that having the electric force equals the gravity force the drop stays still. With that they perform several test writing down the mass of drop and the voltage at which it is balanced at (DeWitt). They take the…

division, parallax is still a potential issue, and finally, incorrect zeroing of the meter. Voltage has an additional error, the loading of the meter itself. Alongside this issue, there is also parallax, zero, and accuracy/divisions. With the DMM220, there are fewer errors. It displays up to 4 digits, is accurate within .3% and is auto ranging. There will be minimal effect by loading when measuring voltage. c.The value measured for…

the zinc strip and the red clip was connected to the copper strip. The voltage was recorded using LoggerPro. The clips and metals were removed from the solutions and cleaned. An abrasive pad and DI water was used to wash them.…

added Lithium-ion battery which has increased life. In terms of voltage, this is important because it could change a drill’s speed and power. “Usually a higher voltage will give a little more instantaneous power as the wires can be a bit smaller and the energy transfer is better (Chien, Loring).” The standard voltage usually ranges from 12 to 18. The new drill is equipped with an incredible 20 volt battery. Even with this high voltage battery, the drill itself is still a lightweight tool. As…

boundary. The light propagation on the phantom takes place in Near-Infra-Red wavelength. The incident light on the tissue boundary was absorbed and scattered. The scattered rays are detected by the photo-detector and scattered voltage of the tissue was measured. The scattered voltages vary for normal and tumor cell in the range of (0.1-4.3) volts and (4.3-5) volts respectively. This system of forward model acts as a screening test for the patients suffering from brain tumor. The parameters…

What is the photon detection efficiency (PDE) of a SiPM? Photon detection efficiency (PDE) refers to the probability that a photon arriving on the SiPM surface is detected, an initiates the process of current pulse generation. PDE is a function of the overvoltage ΔV across the terminals of the APD and wavelength λ of the incident photon. Photon detection efficiency is one of the most important characteristics of a SiPM. PDE is the product of three factors :- Geometrical fill factor (FF), Quantum…

are under two main themes: 1. Optogenetic indicators for neuronal activities; 2. Expansion Pathology, a novel imaging strategy for super-resolution imaging of archived clinical samples. For theme 1, I worked on optogenetic indicators for Ca2+ and voltage, two of the most significant types in neuroscience. I tackled the well-known challenge of engineering these protein tools, using novel molecular evolution approaches. Specifically, for Ca2+ indicators, I devised a high-throughput E. coli…

Westwood had. Tetrodotoxin is a blocker of voltage gated sodium channels of the excitable tissues like nerves and muscles. It prevents movement of sodium ions through these channels which affect action potential generation in nerves which is why Dr. Westwood experienced numbness after eating the puffer…

A voltage should be present somewhere between 0.5 - 1 volt (typical for a single sync-copper potato energy cell.) 8. Record your results. 9. Repeat steps 1 and 2 and connect up to 5 potatoes. 10. Take 4 more potatoes and stick a galvanized nail to one side…

When the action potential reaches its peak of 30 millivolts, Na+ channels close. Repolarization begins as K+ voltage gated channels start to open and an efflux of K+ are driven out of the cell due to the electrochemical gradient. With less Na+ inside the cell and more K+ outside the cell, the membrane potential begins to decline toward its resting value. Resting value is reached, yet K+ voltage gated channels remain open allowing additional K+ to move out. Hyperpolarization is activated when the…
