technical abilities in a practical environment. My task was not limited to monitor off-air signals, transmission of audio and video signals to master control room to get aired via a transmitting antenna, site survey of a broadcasting antenna but also fault detection and isolation. I also rectified flaws during transmission and guided technicians in troubleshooting, at the end of training, submission of training report for assessment in the university followed by a seminar and detailed presentation. Official duties I was allocated production control area. I utilized my technical and administrative abilities to meet technical and industry standards and worked assiduously to meet organisation code of ethics. My duties includes: 1. Monitoring off-air signals, signal strength and signal quality with a detailed report in prescribed format drafted by Station Engineer. 2. Assisting Assistant Station Manager in the maintenance of equipment related tasks. 3. Supervising technicians in the installation of devices and fault repairing. 4. Working in conjunction with vision mixing (VM) engineer and learning a concept of video switcher mixing. 5. Monitoring quality and conservation of RF spectrum in accordance to broadcasting standard 625-line. 6. Learning core concepts of videos such as resolution, grey scale, brightness, contrast, composite video signals, digital video formats. 7. On-site survey of the antenna and briefing technicians to spectrum analysis to enhance broadcasting. 8.…
Knee Wraps: The Benefits and Drawbacks What are knee wraps? The knee wrap is similar to the wrist wrap regarding the logic that applies to both. Knee wraps are also to an “Ace” bandage, except that they are much thicker and stronger. The elastic material that is used to make the knee wrap is the same found in wrist wraps. The allowed width for knee wraps is 8 cm (3 inches), although they can sometimes be 2.0 meter, 2.5 meters or even 3.5 meters long. Advantages of using knee wraps The primary…
and steel is a major to transfer the load to any structure. The decrease in bond strength between the concrete and steel leads to the failure of the structural member. Lap splice of steel is the common connection n to transfer the loads from one steel bar to another to which it is connected. Fiber reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. In structural members like a beam, columns and slab…
Egyptian Cotton vs. Bamboo Bed Sheets Egyptian cotton or bamboo bed sheets, which is better? On one hand, Egyptian cotton sheets are well established as the epitome of luxury while bamboo sheets are still fairly new to the world of bedding. On the other hand, bamboo sheets have some unique properties, giving it a competitive edge. So, when you’re shopping for a new set of sheets, should you opt for Egyptian cotton or bamboo? To answer this question, we’ve compared Egyptian cotton to bamboo…
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the long-term performance of resin based fissure sealants applied in a general dental practice. To do this it set out to evaluate sealant retention and failure rates. This study took place in a general dentistry practice located in the Netherlands. The group studied consisted of regularly attending patients who visited the practice for routine exams during the period from July 2006 until November 2007. Patients that had one or more resin-based sealants…
Virginia Commonwealth State Agency-Northrop Grumman Critical System Outage The commonwealth of Virginia experienced an information technology storage area network outage on August 25th 2010. This affected several agencies and caused 13% of the file servers to fail. The failure mainly impacted the Department of Motor Vehicles and Department of taxation. Because of the outage problem, DMV couldn’t process driver’s licenses and couldn’t share data with other agencies. (1) DMV has been unable to…
2.1 Nanocomposite and nanofiller Composite is the combination of two or more different materials that are mixed together in order to bring out the best properties of both material. A nanocomposite is the composite which exhibit at least one dimension of the nanoparticle size material [17]. The nanoparticle size is mainly used as the disperse particle system to enhance or improve the properties of the composite material such as strength, conductivity and wear resistance. The main reason for…
Aeronautical materials must possess a high Young’s modulus to prevent shape deformation under stress, high resistance to chemical and thermal degradation, high glass transition temperature (Tg), impact strength, amongst numerous others which are more task specific.3 Advancements in polymer chemistry have resulted in a large number of aircraft moving from metallic materials to composite for their primary structures. The definition of a composite states that it is a new material with superior…
Plastics (Phenolic resins, Epoxy resins, Polyesters and Polyurethanes) are materials which make up the objects which we use in our everyday lives such as phones, cars, cooking utensils, computers and shoes, (http://www.slideshare.net). Plastics are a group of material which can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Plastics are considered as polymers a substance which has a molecular structure with a large number of units bonded together, (http://www.chemheritage.org). Most plastics are…
A roofing job on a commercial building can represent a significant investment, but since few flat roofs will last more than 20 or 30 years, it is an expense that most commercial property owners will face eventually. Although the average cost for a typical flat roof on a commercial building is approximately $30,000, there are numerous factors that could drive that price up or down substantially. Here are some of the considerations that influence the cost of a commercial roofing job. Type of…
