The silk gland of the golden orb spider Nephila edulis connects to the exit spigot through a long S-shaped duct that assists in the formation of the thread. Previous evidence suggests that the epithelium of the distal (last) part of the duct is specialized for ion transport and that a proton pump is involved in this process. Here, we present evidence from SEM (scanning electron microscope)-EDAX (energy dispersive X-ray) microanalysis of rapidly frozen material maintained at approximately -150 degrees C and from the use of pH indicators that the element composition and pH change progressively as the dragline silk dope (spinning solution) passes down the duct to form the thread. Na+ and Cl- composition decreased while K+ and P and S increased. Indicators suggested that the pH dropped from 6.9+/-0.1 to 6.3+/-0.1. These novel findings suggest that the absorption of Na+ and secretion of the more chaotropic K+ may help the silk protein molecules to refold while the secretion of H+ may assist in this process and reduce the repulsive charges on them. This in turn may allow the molecules to approach one another more closely to crystallize. Thus precise control of the ionic environment within the spider's spinning duct may be important in forming a tough insoluble thread and when devising mimetic processes to spin silk proteins industrially.
I've been running into an issue with a spider I've put together. I am trying to scrape individual lines from the transcript on this site, and have found some appropriate selectors, but when run, the spider's output is simply the same line repeated over and over. I've seen a couple others with similar issues (like this), but haven't yet found an answer that solves my problem.
The issue seems to lie in the for loop. My thinking is this: for each Selector in this list of Selectors, pull a subset that element as defined by the items in the for loop. Instead, it seems to be executing: for each of the 177 Selectors in this list, return the first element of each of the items defined.
When you use the node-to-node technique to create a spider element, you cannot specify whether or not to include legs to the mid-nodes; they are created automatically. However, you can add or remove legs for any 1D connection as needed.
Someone I know bought a new Canon 70-200 f2.8 II L from a Canon authorised store about 6 months ago, and thought they could see something on an element when inspecting the day it was bought, but it disappeared when the lens was rotated, then not seen again for a while. Also the lens sometimes produced unusual patterns in the bokeh when shooting toward bright light.
A couple of years ago a Lensrentals.com blog had a lens with a large, dead spider inside. About ten years ago I saw a new Canon zoom lens at a local camera store with significant fungus inside. Lens should go to Canon service.
I think it was in there from manufacturing, or possibly sitting in the display cabinet in the shop. Something could be seen when it was tested, but then it disappeared, so then thought it might have been a reflection. The spider is long dead.
I looked at the lens myself before it was sent away, and there was absolutely no doubt about it being a spider and web, and otherwise a perfect lens. With a torch it was easy to see that the spider and web didn't touch any glass, and it was suspended off the side of the inner barrel, between two elements, and it wobbled from the weight of the spider as the lens was shaken. The spider can be bumped so it attaches to different parts of the web, right out of view if lucky.
For repairs like IS system replacement, PCB or aperture replacement, and sometimes front elements, we do have alternative repair centres. Apparently they couldn't be used this time because of the location of the spider and web.
One of the most difficult tasks in designing a multi-band 2-element quad beam is obtaining full band coverage. Thisproblem has two dimensions. One dimension involves obtaining at the antenna an SWR that is less than 2:1 relative to theimpedance of the main feedline all across each of the bands covered by the beam. The second dimension coversother important operating parameters, such as adequate gain and front-to-back ratio across each band.
The design that we shall show covers only the widest amateur upper-HF bands: 20, 15, and 10 meters. For the narrowerbands, 17 and 12 meters, one may use a dual-band quad with a common feedpoint, as shown in Part 3 of the recent seriesof articles analyzing the element interactions and the use of a common feedpoint. The present beam uses separate feedpointsand restricts coverage to only 3 bands in order to obtain between adjacent bands the largest feasible frequency ratios.The result is relevantly similar band-to-band performance and a set of manageable feedpoint resistance and reactance values.By judicious use of a 75-Ohm matching line on each band, the 50-Ohm SWR values will be under 2:1 across all passbands.
The design specifically excludes the narrow bands, even though we might have thrown in loops for them. In the latter portionof our discussion, we shall examine a pair of 5-band designs previously analyzed in Volume 1 of Cubical Quad Notes.The exercise will clearly indicate why a 3-band limit within the upper HF range is desirable for a 2-element quad.
The tri-band quad sketched in Fig. 1 derives from the same set of monoband 2-element quads that we have used asthe basis for dual-band quad behavior. In fact, it is simply a refined version of the sample tri-band, 2-element quadshown in Part 2 of "Sneaking Up on 2-Element Common-Feed Quads." The design frequencies for the 3 bands are 14.14, 21.19,and 28.4 MHz. At these frequencies, the monoband quads are set for resonance (within +/-j 1 Ohm) and for peak 180-degreefront-to-back ratio. At the design frequency, the free-space forward gain is 7.04 dBi on all frequencies. The designsderive from calculations based on a large collection of models and regression analysis. The programs appear in Volume2 of Cubical Quad Notes and require the designer only to input the element diameter and the design frequency.The model outline sketch on the left shows the positions of the 3 separated feedpoints, but not the match-line needed tofeed the array with a 50-Ohm main cable. Of course, only one feedpoint would be active at any one time, so the arrayrequires a remote switch on the mast or 3 separate feedlines to the shack.
In adapting these monoband designs for a tri-band quad, I am using spider construction. It requires non-conductivesupport arms that "lean" forward and backward about 31 degrees relative to a vertical line created by the mast is itreaches the hub (and virtually passes through to continue that line). This angle is the average of the angles foreach of the 3 bands. Since AWG #14 copper wire has a different diameter on each band if we measure it inwavelengths, the angle varies slightly from band to band. However, the small discrepancy in driver-to-reflectorspacing will make no practical difference in the performance. The loop lengths are much more sensitive to changes.If a builder wishes to use the specified spacing between elements, he or she may attach a fiberglass or similar rodbetween the forward and rearward support arms near to the elements for each band.
Table 1 provides the required dimensions for the tri-band 2-element quad. All dimensions are in inches. Theside lengths are for full sides. Modelers may need to divide those numbers by 2 in order to center a NEC or MININECmodel at the center of the coordinate system. Later, all performance numbers will use free-space values. The gainof the array over ground will increase by about 5 or more dB (depending upon the actual height),but the front-to-back ratio will remain unchanged. If the array is at least 1 wavelength above ground, the impedancewill be virtually unchanged from the free-space value. Even at lower heights, the quad is less prone to ground-inducedimpedance changes than a beam using linear elements. The quad loop is actually two dipoles spaced about 1/4-wavelengthvertically, with the ends brought together at the zero-current points. When measured as a function of the elevation angleof the main lobe and the same angle for a dipole or 2-element Yagi, the working height of a quad is about 2/3 of thedistance from the bottom to the top horizontal wires. For non-critical purposes, the centerline or the hub heightwill do as the conventional marker of antenna height.
The dimensional table lists the sizes of the foundational monoband quads as well as the dimensions usedin the tri-band version. For each band, the driver-to-reflector spacing remains unchanged. On 20 meters, thetri-band driver is longer than the monoband driver, but the tri-band reflector is shorter. On 10 meters--theinnermost set of loops--the tri-band driver is shorter than the monoband driver, but the tri-band reflector islonger. In the recent study of dual-band interactions ("Adjacent-Band Quad Behavior"), I noted that whenan element set undergoes interactions with both an inner and an outer set of elements, the middle set is notinfluenced equally. Hence, the effects on both the middle driver and reflector are not simply canceled out.In the case of the present tri-band design, the 15-meter driver and reflector are both shorter than in themonoband design on which they rest.
The dimensions for the tri-band quad are more finicky than those for a monoband quad (but less finicky than thedimensions for a 5-band quad). Therefore, you will wish to use careful construction methods to avoid the need fornearly endless field adjustments. The support arms should be non-conductive. As well, the method for attachingthe elements to the arms at the element corners should make use of non-conductive materials or hardware. Metalclamps or loops can create 1-turn inductors at the element corners. The 4 required for each element may beenough to significantly detune the element. There are methods of compensating for such methods of fastening,but they tend to be long and tedious. If you are constructing quads commercially, going through the compensation processonce for each new design may well be worth the effort to obtain a desired set of corner fixtures. However, fora one-of-a-kind antenna that grows out of one's workshop, giving some extensive forethought to designing aneffective means of arm-to-element attachment that involves only non-conductive materials may actually shorten theconstruction time considerably.
