A Picture Is Not Worth One Thousand Words .. For immediate release by Thomas Sammon and W. H. Jones   4/1/ 2014     A recent study has been released showing the dimensions of a Pixel as observed by the Eye. The dimension of a Pixel is normally given in inches squared. This is the actual dimension of the Pixel on a flat surface. When the Eye observes the pixel the actual dimensions with respect to the eye are unusual. This subject has not been studied because of the resolution of the eye, and other difficulties involving the shape of the Eye. The Eye is similar to a sphere that is somewhat misshaped.  This paper then defines a usual or Standard Eye which is then given a standard resolution.   When this Standard Eye is defined it then becomes possible to define the actual dimensions of the Pixel with respect to the Eye.  Instead of inches squared the dimensions of the system including the Eye are different from that of a flat surface.  It ...

About Me - William Haywood Jones I am a scientist in the area of Electrical Engineering, having worked in research and Advanced Development for my entire career. I have worked for companies such as General Electric and Honeywell, and startup companies in Silicon Valley, California. I have designed and built numerous systems both military and commercial. I have designed advanced communications for voice and data. I worked directly with the inventor of the "Costas Loop" for ten years. I designed one of the first "over the horizon" radar systems using Doppler techniques. I worked over fifteen years in the design of computer hard disc drives in the area of read/write. I have ten patents in my areas of engineering. My first patent "W.H. Jones ET AL", Number 2,951,980 was with Dr. J.P.Costas. The patent was used in the first I/Q receiver that was built (AN-FRR-48 XW1). My design work has been from low frequency to high frequency. I am a Professional Enginee...

Tube Bias and the Capacitor ~  By Bill Jones   The article is a review of how a tube obtains a negative bias on its grid. Included is a short history of how it has been   done, and   how it should have been done.  Since the capacitor is a major component in the power supply, grid bias, and the radio in general there is a discussion of the capacitor its invention and, application to the power supply because the power supply is often used in obtaining grid bias. When using the power supply for grid bias it generally complicates the circuitry and, adds little to no value to the operation of the radio.   The capacitor is necessary to obtain a “clean” bias from a power supply. Grid bias is very important in the operation of any tube and should always be a consideration in the repair and operation of the radio.  There are some occasions when it may be proper to use the power supply as a grid bias means, but not in the “modern typical rad...

SYSTEM DESIGN                                                                                  BY BILL JONES  12/5/2017 This article was written after watching a video of an expert juggler. As an engineer, my thoughts were concentrated on how one might design a system having characteristics similar to the performer. Engineers do have some unusual ideas. But in my case I would not call this unusual, because I have always been a system designer and these thoughts just come naturally. The article has some technical jargon that might be understood only by system design engineers – yo...

Climate Change - Cause and Cure  ~ W. H. Jones  8/11/2014   As an introduction to the author, Mr. Jones is a scientist in the area of Electrical Engineering, having worked in research and Advanced Development for his entire career. He has worked for companies such as General Electric and Honeywell, and startup companies in Silicon Valley.   He has designed and built numerous systems both military and commercial. He has designed advanced communications equipment for both voice and data. He has done many designs for computer hard disc drives.  He has ten patents in his areas of engineering.  He is a Professional Engineer (N.Y.). He is an airplane pilot; instrument. Mr. Jones is concerned about the soft data that is being contributed to the discussion of Climate Change. The words “Climate Change” cover an area of Global concerns that were once called “Global Warming”.  Global Warming suffered from the possibility that data had been prese...
