A Picture Is Not Worth a Thousand Words.

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 becomes radians to the power of three divided by seconds to the power of two; this is because of the actual dimensions of the Eye. The mathematics is involved, and requires using a triple integral with matrix multiplication.  It has been studied for some years by William H. Jones, and Thomas Sammon who found a solution for the equations. The solution involved using matrix software which was necessary for the transformations when the Eye is included in the system. Tomas Sammon provided the matrix software which required unusual changes. The software will not be disclosed until the copyright is approved. The patent is pending.  
It has been said for many years that a picture is worth a thousand words. While the saying is considered to be of American origin it may have been derived from an ancient Chinese saying which suggested that a picture was worth ten thousand words. A Japanese saying may also be involved in the derivation of the American origin. Use of the standard Eye with a complex picture containing only noise has shown that a picture actually contains a maximum of,
            Maximum words per picture = g x Pi cubed, or 998.03 words per picture.
            Here g is in ft. per second squared. Pi is in radians.
             Words are given the normal value of five letters per word.
This is somewhat surprising because of the dimensions. It provides an actual dimension for a word, and this is quite new, but found unacceptable by some. This is normal because new findings are often met with doubt. This note is being released because peer review has been completed with positive acceptance.  In this result g is not exactly 32, but instead it is 32.188.  It does however have the dimensions of ft. per seconds squared.  Gravity or g was then suggested as the proper usage.   This then gives us the maximum value of the number of words that can be in a picture. The actual or maximum value is 998 words per picture that contains only noise. Any other picture would have a lesser number of words per picture. This result is, however, surprising because it is so close to the adage of one thousand words that has been in American usage. The Authors suggest that the publication date be noted.

The Costas Loop - Dr. John P. Costas

The Costas Loop and the Best Engineer. By Bill Jones.   This paper is to note some of the work of Dr. John P. Costas and to tell of my work and thoughts of my time with John. He was the best engineer that I have ever known. His work was in a relatively narrow field not well known by most engineers. His work was done starting at General Electric in the early 1950’S and continued over his life time. He contributed greatly to several areas of communications, Sonar and mathematics, for example, the Costas Array. He wrote many papers with some being classic. He continued as an inventor even after his retirement. The term Engineer goes back some years, probably to the 1300’s AD. While I do not mean to compare Dr. Costas to these early genius engineers it should be clear that these early engineers did provide the great foundations we have in our present day curriculums. I am thinking of John as a man that used the foundations to invent an outstanding system - the Costas Loop. If y

Signal Generators.

Signal Generators The H.P. 606 and the Hickok 288X By Bill Jones This paper is not meant to suggest that the HP 606 and the Hickok 288x are in any way equivalent generators.  The HP was a modern laboratory generator in its day.  It is mostly a tube type generator - it used miniature tubes. It was never meant for radio service. It was expensive and its features were not necessary for any radio repair shop. Today however the HP is available at a moderate cost and offers those interested in radio repair and Amateur Radio work a bargain generator.  I find it quite useful and even a joy to use because of its known frequency and signal level outputs.  It is simple and straight forward to use.   The Hickok generator was really meant for radio repair and in its time it was a desirable generator for the radio shop and not an inexpensive generator. The Hickok is today and perhaps has always been a misunderstood generator because of its complex design.  It was cleverly designed.

The Trinity

The Trinity by Bill Jones   If you do not believe in the Trinity then some will say that you are not saved. The Bible does not mention the Trinity, but the Bible says that if you believe in Jesus Christ then you are saved. The Trinity is a concept of man. But, the Trinity has great following. A majority of Churches have the Trinity in their Creed. The Trinity may be considered Biblical but is inferred by man.   The Nicene creed was held in the year 325 ad. The Nicene Creed was voted on by man and states that Jesus Christ is equal to God the Father. This was voted on by about 300 Bishops and probably allowed the Trinity to be accepted.   There are several Apostles Creeds that are the words of man. The words are the general beliefs of the Church. The words are not from the Apostles.   The Catholic Church has over a billion members. It is a mainstream Church. The Catholic Church accepts the Trinity. The Catholic Church claims to be the one true Church and this is in the Church Creed.   Yo
