2/28/2024 0 Comments Example of sound diffraction![]() Don't even consider using anything that is purely or even largely synthetic. It is more reflective than it is absorptive. The acoustic quality of these compositions varies, primarily as a function of the percentage of real wool in the felt and its density. It has many uses that I won't go into, but it is used in combination with various synthetic materials to produce the numerous types available. This is, of course, the naturally derived felt taken from sheep. The best that I've found-and I believe that there is consensus on this-is real wool felt. Quantifying its effectiveness has not been so well documented, and there is a wide range of felt compositions. ![]() Wool has been used for years for diffraction control. Obstructions on the baffle (as in a stepped baffle).Adjacent driver size and diaphragm shape.Baffle edge geometry (square, roundover, chamfer, and so on).The impact of diffraction is highly dependent on several factors: The directivity of the larger drivers also minimizes the influence of diffraction. The diffraction that affects midranges and woofers is - for the most part – not controllable due to the frequencies concerned. Why do I say tweeter? Because diffraction is primarily a tweeter concern. I prefer to use an absorptive material (felt) placed on the baffle after offsetting the tweeter. In combination, offsets and roundovers are useful. The roundover must also have a rather large radius to be most effective. Although effective, this adds construction complexity. ![]() You can mount drivers with an offset from the centerline (useful on its own), but this only changes the distribution in the time and frequency domains it doesn't actually reduce the amount of energy re-radiated.Īnother way is to round over the baffle edge. More than one way exists to deal with diffraction. You would somehow like to stop the diffraction from any obstructions, but how? The diffraction can't be controlled by any kind of box placement or room treatment. Box placement and room treatment are used to control that to a degree. You're familiar with this latter aspect of reflections. It arrives at the listener position, altering the perception of the sound, since its arrival is close enough in time that you perceive it as being part of the main sound wave.ĭelays that are longer (such as reflections from walls) are perceived differently and are not confused with direct sound. This interference is delayed in time from the main sound wave and is a function of the distance to the diffracting obstruction (such as the baffle edge). ![]() This causes interference with the main sound wave that is traveling outward toward the listener. ![]() The results of attempts at diffraction control were a bit surprising.Ī sound wave will diffract when it encounters one of the obstructions mentioned. These latter have been of more interest to me recently as I now prefer a baffle that offsets the drivers (a "stepped" baffle) to attain a better phase relationship between drivers in order to improve the crossover design. Obstructions are primarily other drivers (midranges or woofers) and baffle edges and protrusions. This article shows examples of diffraction and a commonly used, yet inexpensive, method to control it.Ĭabinet edge diffraction, which is unavoidable, is the result of any obstruction or cabinet boundary (edge) that changes how the sound wave moves across the surface of the baffle. Past articles in Speaker Builder and audioXpress have dealt with the issue. Judicious use of the right kind of felt is all that is necessary. There are many differing positions on what to do about it - if anything at all - but diffraction can be largely controlled. You'll probably find a thread on it anytime you go to one of the major boards. 36, Number 6, June 2005Ĭabinet edge diffraction is a hot topic on Internet message boards. Originally published in audioXpress, Vol. This article shows an easy way to control baffle diffraction using a stepped baffle example.ĭiffraction Doesn't Have to be a Problem by David L. ![]()

Even more painful sometimes than our own struggle with ADD, however, is the helplessness that comes when we’re forced to watch loved ones, friends, spouses, or children, endure ADD’s negative symptoms.įor 25 years, the Drake Institute of Neurophysical Medicine has provided families with a different approach to treating ADD or ADHD, using a non-invasive, drug-free treatment program capable of delivering long term results. Our ability to focus is crucial, and without it, many things tend to fall apart or fail. While there’s no scientific consensus on accepting this theory, everyone can and does agree that living with the symptoms of ADD can be a painful and confusing experience that can deny an individual achieving fulfillment in their life. This theory postulates that the specific set of symptoms of the different types of ADD require different treatment recommendations rather than the traditional approach which is to treat all forms of ADD as one and the same. David Velkoff What are the Seven Types of ADHD ADD?Īccording to a popular (though not backed by the American Psychiatric Association) theory, there are seven types of ADD or ADHD, and each type brings its own set of unique challenges. The ability to self-regulate is managed across the brain in highly interconnected ways similar brain nodes regulate both attention and emotion - and when one area isn’t performing well, the others suffer, too.The Seven Types of Attention Deficit Disorderīy Dr. Self-regulation weaves together all the older theories of ADHD into one cohesive picture it is also what allows humans to manage impulses, engage or disengage attention, and navigate between deliberate and automatic responses to different situations. Now, researchers understand that ADHD is primarily a disorder of self-regulation. ![]() What started as hyperkinetic impulse disorder - its primary symptom excessive hyperactivity - over time shifted to attention deficit disorder and a focus on problems with inattention, then to reward functioning, and later to executive functioning. Our understanding of ADHD has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 30 years. Stress, foods, and environmental toxins change the brain as well. More Than Just Genes: How Environment, Lifestyle, and Stress Impact ADHDĪDHD is a genetic disorder, but DNA is not working alone. Individuals with ADD, although typically shy, may engage in risk-taking and thrill-seeking activities as ways to experience a level of engagement they have difficulty sustaining in their daily lives. Their problem lies more in motivation than in inhibition.Ĭhallenge or risk, something to literally get their adrenaline pumping, can be key to keeping their attention and to eliciting optimum performance. People with ADD are not so much easily distracted as easily bored. A marked deficit in the release of DA and NE might cause sluggishness and under-arousal. Amphetamines affect both the reuptake and release of catecholamines. Addressing reuptake appears to be sufficient to help individuals with ADHD.Ī significant subset are helped by amphetamines rather than methylphenidate. Methylphenidate addresses catecholamine reuptake. ~There are marked similarities in the neurobiological and psychological effects of nicotine and methylphenidate.! ![]() Those with ADHD are more likely to smoke than are those with ADD. Those who are helped by methylphenidate often do best at low doses. Most respond positively to methylphenidate in moderate to high doses. Respond positively to methylphenidate ~Ritalin!Ī significant percentage are not helped by methylphenidate. Reading and language deficits and problems with mental mathematical calculations are more commonly comorbid with ADD than with ADHD. ADD children tend to be socially isolated or withdrawn. Internalizing disorders, such as anxiety or depression, are somewhat more common in children with ADD than those with ADHD. Social problems because too passive, shy, or withdrawnĮxternalizing behaviors, such as conduct disorder, aggressivity, disruptive behavior, and even oppositional defiant disorder are far more commonly comorbid with ADHD than with ADD. Social problems because too assertive and impulsive: butt in, take things belonging to others, fail to wait their turn, and act without first considering the feelings of others Primary deficit in working memory, especially prominent in auditory processing because of the demands it places on working memory A significant subset are hypoactive and sluggish and have slow response speeds. ![]() ![]() ![]() They're constantly working on puzzles and cannot stop!

Use local cable service with their connectors already installed and got 400 MB per second, and could tell me the difference and had much problems dealing with our local cable service provider. The AT&T hardware currently in use is about three years old and recently having problems with active Internet service and very slow service, less than one megabyte, and then suddenly starts working again, 25–30 MB per second, since it’s copper wire to the building that’s the best AT&T can provide. Yes, the network appliance will still work.ĪTT is sending their latest AT&T gateway hardware arriving today January, 2023. ![]() To accomplish this you configure the firewall on the network appliance to place the Airport Extreme in a DMZ zone (Airport Extreme must have DHCP enabled) which will cause the Airport Extreme to assume the internet IP address of the network appliance and bypass its firewall. There is another solution, which I have tried several times over the years but it caused issues so I reverted back, called passthrough. Some installers may not like this but it works. What I use and have suggested you use is referred to as a secondary router solution and "Double NAT". As long as your Airport Extreme WiFi SSID is unique, it should not be an issue. The installer should know what needs to be done base on your requirements. If you are planning to network DirecTV to multiple TVs you may not be able to disable WiFi on the network appliance.AT&T has not completely implemented support for IPv6 and leaving the option enabled usually causes home network performance issues. Be sure to disable IPv6 on the network appliance.Make sure that your Airport Extreme WiFi/Ethernet network uses something other than a 192.168.1.0 network. My suggestion would be to use a static IP address of 192.168.1.253 for your Airport Extreme rather than DHCP. The network appliance will be configured for your home network side using a 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 IP network with the appliance having an address of 192.168.1.254.However, I would recommend the following: Just unplug from current modem and plug into network appliance and everything should continue to work. If your Airport Extreme is setup for DHCP internet connection, you're good to go. That said, I have had my Airport Extreme on my network appliance for many years now and am very pleased with the solution. ![]() However, if you use certain Apple features, gaming devices, security, and other 21 century devices, the network appliance can be challenging in trying to make it work though in some cases it is hopeless. Basically a good solution for the average person. The network appliance has no routing protocol support on the home network. The reality is that it is more of a network appliance that has vDSL modem, WiFi, firewall, IGMP support for IPTV, and an Ethernet bridge. Refers to their vDSL equipment as a router/gateway. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Outlook Options dialog box, click on Mail and select Signatures. To create a signature in Outlook, first open Outlook.

If you are looking for some Southern charm or to relax by the beach, flying into Savannah/Hilton Head (SAV) can get you just that sort of getaway.

One of our favorite hotel options is the Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas that's right at the base of the mountain. Whether you have Hilton, Marriott, IHG or Wyndham points, there is a property you can stay at with your hard-earned points. Steamboat also offers more in the way of points hotels than what you'll find at Telluride. Those with a pass already in hand - or those looking to purchase the pass for this season - have one more way to fly into Steamboat. ![]() Related: 5 reasons to ski at Steamboat Springs this year And with multiple flight frequencies from Denver and the airport only 30 minutes away from the mountain, some passengers may be able to hit the slopes just after noon (flights from Dallas only operate on Saturdays). This gives travelers another opportunity to enjoy the mountains, especially those looking to ski at Steamboat. Similar to Montrose, Steamboat Springs (HDN) was also recently added to Southwest's route map as a seasonal service during the winter months. For those looking for an amazing ski resort town, being able to access Telluride more easily is a big win for Southwest flyers.įly into: Montrose (MTJ) with nonstop flights from Dallas (DAL) and Denver (DEN). Unfortunately though, if you are looking to enjoy Telluride over the summer, Southwest won't take you there as this service has traditionally been seasonal. You might find an even more reasonable boutique hotel or inn by using your Chase Ultimate Rewards points. The Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge using Accor points is another option. This is now a Mr & Mrs Smith property, so you can book with IHG points if you find availability. If you make the trip we really recommend staying at the charming Dunton Town House one block from the gondola. You can then earn the remaining points required by flying Southwest, spending on a Southwest credit card, using the Southwest shopping portal and more. If you wait to earn both tiers of the bonus in 2022, you'd be within reach of earning the Companion Pass through the end of 2023. To earn the Companion Pass, you need to earn 125,000 Companion Pass qualifying points in a calendar year, so you'd only be 13,000 points off from doing so at most. This means the points earned from the welcome offer and the minimum spend requirement combined will net you at least 112,000 Companion Pass-qualifying points. With any of these three cards, you can earn up to 100,000 points - 50,000 points after you spend $2,000 in three months, plus an additional 50,000 points after you spend $12,000 in 12 months from account opening. ![]() Speaking of the Companion Pass, right now, you can come pretty close to earning it with the welcome offers on the Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card, Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card and Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card.

Yes, you read that correctly, free (plus taxes and fees) to any destination that Southwest flies, including some of these under-the-radar spots. With the Southwest Companion Pass, another passenger can fly with you for nearly free (you just have to pay the taxes and fees on their ticket) during the life of the pass. On top of flying to some interesting locales, this family-friendly airline also has flexible change and cancellation policies, enables you to check two bags for free - and let's not forget the Companion Pass. ![]() So, if you are looking to explore the nooks and crannies of a domestic (or a nearby international) destination, don't overlook Southwest and its no-fuss approach to travel. If you haven't checked the airline's route map in a while, Southwest Airlines offers some pretty cool destinations within the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean and even Central America. But that doesn't mean the airline only flies to Las Vegas and Orlando (although, they totally do).
