Okay, welcome back. We are live exclusive coverage of SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's exclusive coverage of Amazon Web Services re-invent conference. I'm John Furb joined by Jeff Kelly, Big Data Analyst at Wikibon. Breaking down the announcements around Kinesis, Redshift. Amazon is moving the game to a whole nother level in the big data world. The big data impact is significant. We're going to break it down with analysis of our views of Amazon's announcements this morning. Obviously, slew of announcements over the past two days. Jeff Kelly, Big Data is impacted.  Not a lot of big data discussions, but when you look at Kinesis, you look at what's going on out there with Redshift, you're seeing a major move by Amazon to essentially close the loop on the integrated stack. And I want to really drill down with you because there are some impacts here. And my view is very clear that, in our experience with Amazon stack that we write, we move from Hadoop and HBase to Amazon, RDS, DynamoDB, Elastic Beans, like a variety of other technologies, and by far and away, significantly superior at all levels. So the thesis that I'm putting forth is, Kinesis puts the open source projects on notice, specifically Flume, Kaska. These are streaming aspects that Amazon essentially is now putting out there with Kinesis as an alternative. But when you got Redshift in here, you're talking about like, Hive now is put on notice. So to me, there's a major shift here. This will probably change the game significantly on the open source world because now Amazon can close the loop. They can stream data as a manning service, bring it into Redshift, provide essentially business intelligence, log data, et cetera. Significant game change, again, at large scale. So what's your take? Do you see it that way? What's your take? Well, as you said, really, AWS has pretty much the entire big data workload taken care of in terms of a product portfolio. Now they've got Kinesis for streaming, EMR for large scale batch processing, Hadoop, so you've got Redshift in the data warehouse and high performance analytics base. You've got DynamoDB for the NoSQL workloads. You got Elasticash for in memory. I mean, they've got it covered from a product standpoint. That's clear. I mean, look at those products I just mentioned. So Redshift, they're taken on the data warehouse world. EMR, they're taken on the open source to dupe world. Kinesis, now they're taking on people like IBM with InfoSphere Streams. So really, clearly they offer all the products. The question is, can they knit those together and make it easy for customers to knit those together to actually close that loop and provide some of the orchestration to actually make those things work seamlessly together? Dave Vellante and I were talking in our opening segment about some of the things and I broke it down, you get the managed services, you got the database layer or data layer and then you got infrastructure on the hood, innovations going on in all three of those theaters. But specifically, the scale is the differentiation for Amazon and one of the things that's going on is that who can take on Amazon? If they do close the loop here with Kinesis, you then can stream everything into Redshift. Redshift becomes a repository. I mean, this sounds like hype. We love hype, we love flume. These are open source projects in Apache. This is a direct threat to that and you got LinkedIn has their own streaming service so social might look more like an overlay layer but who can provide that on top of such a large scale infrastructure? That to me is a direct threat to Cloudera in particular. Well Redshift is, as AWS likes to point out the fastest growing service in AWS history in terms of revenue. And the reason that is because the performance is largely considered best in the industry. You've got, the technology is essentially car excels analytic database under the covers and which is widely known for performance. With the scale now, Amazon's able to scale that out to petabyte size. That's not something you can do combine the scale and the speed with a lot of these other solutions. So look, Amazon is trying to take on people in all these different areas. The open source to do world, the traditional data warehouse world, they haven't yet taken on kind of the business intelligence world, more partnering, starting to partner with companies like Jaspersoft. I'm seeing Tableau come up more and more. We'll see if they decide to take on that world as well. But they've got the full stack of big data products. It's like I said, I think it's a, there's a couple of challenges. One is integrating them, orchestrating them. The other is, and this relates to a lot of AWS in general, is getting companies to buy into moving things to the cloud. Especially sensitive data. We're talking big data scenarios. You've got, you know, internal regulations you got to deal with. You've got culture, the way people do things. So, you know, the way they've done them for years. So that's going to be a challenge. Let's talk about Cloud Air. Because you know, Cloud Air is a company that we're very close with. One SiliconANGLE started in the Cloud Air office. Amarawa Dalla, the founder, was generous enough to allow us to start the company in their office space incubated in there. So we've been watching them for a long time. Big fans. Obviously Hortonworks, again, came in from Yahoo.  But what's interesting is with this change now with Amazon, you're seeing a movement where it's not about just source code anymore. It's about who can actually deliver the platform solution. So the integrated stack of the cloud that Amazon has with the leverage of the scale significantly changes the game for Cloud Air. So it becomes both an arms race on scale and it also becomes who can deliver the functionality. So even though Cloud Air has an excellent vision and solution that they're driving down, will they cross the finish line fast enough? I mean, that's the question. And at what point does developers abandon those projects to go with hardened functionality in the cloud? And this is not just for Cloud Air. You're talking about Pivotal as well. So big question. So it basically changes the game because it makes Cloud Air from a big player to a little player in that kind of scale. And now you've got VMware, which is the IT customer. So there's all these things on the table, right? So we'll start with Cloud Air, then we'll get to VMware. What does Cloud Air need to do, Jeff, in your opinion, to close the loop to the degree that Amazon's doing it? Well, it's going to be a challenge because when you're essentially a one product company, you're a Hadoop company. You're going to try to make Hadoop applicable across as many use cases as possible. That's what we're seeing Cloud Air do with Impala, with Search, and some other ways of accessing data inside of the Cloud Air distribution of Hadoop. What they need to do, one of the things I think they need to do is start embracing the cloud themselves more. I've heard numbers as high as 95% of Cloud Air deployments are inside the firewall. That's still, despite, they're delivering management software to make it easy to manage and monitor those infrastructure. But look, Amazon's value proposition is significant. I mean, what's one of the biggest challenges of Hadoop? It's the infrastructure. It's cabling it together. It's getting to work, get it to continually work well. Back up in recovery, disaster recovery. So Amazon says, we'll take care of that. Don't worry about it, build your applications. You know, Jeff, I think about this a lot. One, first of all, I think Cloud Air has got a big opportunity in them because they're the leader and they have some good people over there, but they have new management team over there. They're building to scale. Some say go public, but the market changes. And one of the things the startups have to do is be nimble to the marketplace. They have enough funding, they can get there. Hortonworks is a little bit different animal. I think Hortonworks is tried and true, pure open source. Their business is growing every day. I think they're going to make it. Hortonworks, I think, will make it clearly. But I think Cloud Air has a bigger opportunity and that is that if you look at the name of Cloud Air, it's Cloud Era. And I think Cloud Era could be a Cloud player. If the tide shifts, Cloud Era could actually, if they make the right strategic decision, now this would be a complete pivot, they could compete with Amazon. So Cloud Era could be the catalyst for competing with Amazon. Because right now, we are looking at the landscape right now. Who's competing with Amazon? Who can take on Amazon? If Amazon becomes, as I just bumped into, a big industry executive luminary in the hallway, they're being called the Microsoft of this generation. Massive scale, massive kind of monopoly-like behavior, but in the sense of the size. So who's going to compete with them? Can it be a Cloud Era that maybe will change colors and become a massive Cloud player and bundling a Hadoop underneath and all this greatness and have a suite offering the same as Amazon? Or is it VMware and shift the game to IT? Because Amazon has not cracked the nut on IT. So the question will be, does DevOps programming translate directly to the enterprise? I don't think it does. I think that's the opportunity. Well, speaking specifically around Cloud Era, I think if they were to make that kind of pivot, start to embrace the Cloud, they'd have to look at something like OpenStack, something where they'd have to partner heavily. They're not going to compete, be able to compete with something like Redshift on scale and performance. They're going to need to partner with other players in an open Cloud. And that might have a significant value proposition for a lot of customers who maybe are reluctant to go in with Amazon where you're basically using their full SAP. If you offer more choice, customers like choice, developers want choice. So my advice to Cloud Era would be, look at partnering in the Cloud with some other best of breed data management products, database products, so that you can truly knit together a enterprise grade, big data platform and deliver it as a service, abstract away a lot of that complexity, let developers do what they do best, develop applications that leverage the data. Great time to watch this industry. Of course, we're excited. We're intoxicated by all the action. It's really exciting. It's going to be great to watch. We'll watch Cloud Era, watch everyone else. But in summary, here's my take. We've been saying earlier to use the sports analogy of football. Amazon's moving the ball one yard at a time, first in 10, move the chains with improvements across the board and under the infrastructure side and little features like VDI. However, the big passing play, the big yardage gain here is Kinesis. I think that to me is a long ball play that's successful right now. They've got that big play. That streaming piece connects the dots. It closes the loop. This is a significant move for Amazon. They close the loop within the stack. Then right there, they can go back to the running game and continue to harden it and the scale, it's going to be hard to catch. So that to me is good news for Amazon in the public cloud. I agree. I think the challenge is going to be around, you've got the cultural issues around moving data into the cloud that a lot of organizations still have, whether it's right or wrong, that's still an issue. And then Kinesis, they've got to prove it with some use cases. So like I said earlier today, the use case they showed on stage today was more of a social media application. Interesting, but to me, if they can actually show some proof points where they're doing things in the industrial internet space in healthcare and energy and transportation, those are the proof points I'll be looking for. And now on the enterprise side, you got VMware, now Pivotal, that little spin out that's kind of like an experiment at this point, pretty expensive experiment, but I think that the opportunity to compete against Amazon will come from like a wildcard play like Cloudera morphing into or someone like a Cloudera morphing into an emerging player or the old guard of EMC VMware using Pivotal as a way to move the DevOps mindset of developers into an IT centric framework. So you look at the success of companies like ServiceNow, a Splunk, those guys were successful in the enterprise. So I think if the enterprise accepts the DevOps mindset, the tooling might look different. So the race to commoditize Amazon's functionality is going to happen, it's going to come from a Pivotal of VMware, IBM, or an HP, can OpenStack bring that to the table? And I think OpenStack is obviously a contender. So we'll be watching, this is the analysis and breakdown of Amazon's moves, kind of connecting the dots on day three, it's all kind of coming together, moving the ball yard by yard, but the big play, Kinesis, we love it, great product, closes the loop on the stack, we're excited by that. And I think it'll show great traction from Amazon. And again, we'll see what they do in the enterprise. I'm John Furrier with Jeff Kelly. We'll be back after this short break with our next guest. We'll talk about security, Chief Security Officer for Amazon, here inside theCUBE. Stay with us, we'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.


Hi guys, welcome to a new vlogmas video. Thank you guys so much for being here. If you just got done watching my other video you guys know I'm starting a new video. Love this iced sugar cookie almond blonde. Very good. Highly recommend. I just talked about it. Don't want to repeat myself but today I am going to I think meet up with my friend a little later and we're gonna go to lunch. She saw my video about this cycle bar shirt sweatshirt thing and she wanted one so I got her this one. I'll show you guys so I'm not gonna open it all up because I don't want to I don't know if I don't know how they got that in this bag. Okay but it is a black and silver cycle bar shirt sweatshirt thing. It's so good to throw on like after your rides and stuff so she was like oh my gosh if you get me one I'll then mow you and stuff and I'm like okay cool and since I'm like a member now like I get discounts I think it's 30% which is like pretty good if you ask me and like I haven't even been like a member for like that long and I still got that so I was like okay sure so okay I did I tried okay and then I was like looking around just cuz and I was like these magnets are like super cute. I was asking the girl like questions like you know if you're like no show or late or whatever and I like saw these and I was like oh how much are these magnets and I think the franchise owner was there because he was walking around and I don't know I like he's he the manager or the franchise owner like I have no idea but he was walking around and he was like oh well it's free if you're when you're standing here so I got me and my friend some car magnets I don't know if she'll like use the magnet because it has winter park and she goes to different location I don't know but she has a magnet if she wants to put it on a refrigerator or car or whatever so yeah um that was cool I don't know what I'm gonna film after this Valerie's cooking dinner tonight I'm so excited cuz filet mignon was on sale or is on sale at the store and she's gonna make some nice dinner for us so yeah I'm just gonna chill out here wait to see like when my friend's done okay so I'm at winter park again which is so funny I feel like I was just here which I was last weekend but I got a parking spot this time and I didn't have to pay which is awesome so happy about that we're going to this like little brunch coffee shop place called Barney's we went there before so hopefully I'll get some footage there yeah I can't believe that I got a parking spot I'm so thrilled like yes today is a good day all right so I'm trying on this defying deck it's a little big because it's size 12 but I just want to see what it looks like on and she's a little long too so I think I'm just gonna wait a little bit for a different size so Sherry yes let's talk about the procedure coming up oh okay so cataract surgery or as they call it now lens replacement surgery really they don't call it cataracts and well that's but that's the technical I guess the nicer name for it oh it's really a procedure so are you nervous not really I would be so nervous no point in being nervous I don't want the surgeon to be nervous I'm so I'm not nervous which are you having done first I'm having the right eye done first so that'll be done on Monday and then I go back on Tuesday morning to see the surgeon to just have a little check up make sure everything's okay oh on Tuesday on Tuesday morning okay I know that so the day after pretty much after good good things I'm off on Monday and Tuesday and then the next week I will have my left eye done and go through the same thing again and are you working in between that this yeah procedures okay so it shouldn't like affect you that much right no it's supposed to be like good after 48 hours oh cool and I got a few of those days I'm not working on the computer so that'll be good oh yeah yeah that's true all right well folks happy vlogmas uh in the links in the clinks in the comments down below wish her some luck thank you everyone she did have this one procedure I'm just gonna like sidetrack just for like one minute where she had like the cyst on her eyelid they had to remove it like me to explain how it was yeah yeah yeah let's do it so I had this like a little cyst on my eyelid has a technical name but I'm not sure how exactly to explain it so it's on this eyelid and I didn't know what they were gonna do about it so I go to see this ophthalmologist I guess who did it when I got in the chair they looked I said oh yeah we can fix that so they strapped my head down which I totally was not expecting they strapped my head down and then they put a thing on my eyelid which was sort of like um an eyelash curler kind of thing and it basically flipped my eyelid inside out oh my gosh and then they took a needle of course you don't want to have anything come to your eyeball they take a needle and inserted it into my eyelid to numb my eyelid Valerie's laughing over there all of this that's what the snort was you cannot look away so and you don't have any kind of anesthesia to help relax you or make you feel like you're in like a twilight sleep or anything like that no you are totally wide freaking awake so they take the needle and they stab your eyelid to numb it and then you can see they bring because you can't look away they bring a scalpel right to your eyelid and they slice your eyelid and they drain it and then if that's not enough fun then you see them bring like the little needle and they sew it up so you have little stitches on the inside of your eyelid so that was like horrendous and then you get into my car don't don't show the vlog don't put your voice over okay so Valerie's then going to tell you what happens when I get out to the car because she was just waiting for me in the car because who would have thought it would have been a traumatic experience so then and then I was sitting out in the car waiting for sherry and sherry comes out and she's like I can't cry I can't talk I can't say anything just get me home I'm like are you okay she said don't talk to me don't ask me anything just get me home she was totally traumatized because I did start to cry a little bit when the procedure was over you all may be aware that your tears have salt in them and salt on an open wound is very painful but not only was it traumatic the procedure itself did not hurt and it wouldn't have been as traumatic if I had known what to expect but nobody told me what was going to be happening and then when it was over I was relieved and I started to cry and the salt got into the wound and it was terribly painful so it was not a really good experience so I really don't like people hanging around my eyes and doing stuff around my eyes so but you know I've been to the optometrist and the ophthalmologist so much in the last six weeks that I'm totally fine now with people putting their hands around my eyes so tomorrow should go swimmingly and I will be looking like perfect vision out of my right eye by Wednesday so I hope you guys enjoyed the vlog that's a that's a fun Christmas story um we'll keep you guys updated on how she's doing right sherry yes absolutely and you'll like tell us how it went I will because it is nerve wracking hey at least you have normal size eyes unlike me okay so Valerie made sticks tonight I just wanted to show you guys pretty much the rest of the day like my friend and I just walked around um park avenue and talked and stuff and caught up yeah that's pretty much what we did I will try to remember to vlog the other food once it's done it's not out yet so um yeah I'm just gonna dig into this yummy filet sherry yes there's all the vlog have you been I've been great oh and we cleared out over there I don't know if I show you guys look at it oh crazy Valerie say hi to the blog Valerie made dinner this is what the broccoli looks like they're watching the Beatles uh this is documentary oh give this video a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next video Eric and sherry bye


Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill. Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Hello, boys and girls. Ranger Bill and all his friends have had a lot of experience with animal problems. Mountain lions, bears, wolves, and a host of others. But in our story today, they're up against a real toughie. The whole trouble in this problem is that the creatures involved carry their own gas equipment. Yes, you've probably already guessed it. Well, let's find out what happens in this story. The eviction of paw and moss gunk. A tall Texan by the name of Arnold Fleming is out at Goose Lake right now looking for a home for his family. Goose Lake is mostly a summer resort area for knotty pine, junction city, and canyon city. But some of the homes are built for year-round living. Arnold's been looking all over the area for a home with the help of a real estate agent by the name of George Sims. Now Arnold's come back to look at a particular house again. Let's drop in on the two men and find out what cooks. Mr. Sims, I sure like this here house. It suits me just fine. Well, I'm glad you like it. But there's one thing I must tell you. Now, see here, man. You all sound like you're trying to discourage me from buying this here house. Not in the least. It's just that I want you to know that... All I know is that I like it. The view's fine. It's close to Lake and it's close to Vittles. And the school is just down the road apiece. Let's go back to your office and you can draw up the papers. I'll go over to the bank and have a certified checkmate. Okay, Mr. Fleming. I guess if your mind's made up, it's made up. Yes, Mr. Sims. As Texans know what we want, we know how to go after it. I want this house. You hear? Yes. Let's go back to my office and we'll close the deal. Well, Mr. Fleming, your furniture is all in the house without a scratch. You all did a fine job of moving, mister. Yeah, thank you. Will you sign this invoice, please? Certainly. There you are. Well, we're showing off now, Mr. Fleming. I hope you enjoy your new home. Thank you for them kind words. That's mighty fine of you. Bye. I'm gonna like it here fine, Daddy. Me too. Boy, look at the light. There must be lots of fish in it.  How do you like it, too? Oh, just fine, Arnold. You sure picked a pretty spot. Who's this old fella coming to see his dad? Well, I don't reckon he'll rightly know, son. We'll soon find out. Howdy, folks. Howdy, sir. Howdy, sir. My name's Abner. I live down the road at the store. The sun runs the place now. Oh, glad to meet you, Abner. Our name's Fleming. This is my daughter, June, and my son, Fred, and my wife, Sue. And my name's Arnold. We all hail from Texas. It ain't hard to figure. You brought the best house on the lake, eh? Yes, sir, we did. Us Texans always do things right. Not this time you didn't, Mr. Fleming. Huh? What y'all mean, Abner? Well, Ferguson's used to live here. They couldn't get him out. Get who out, Abner? Skunks. That's who. I don't understand.  No, sir, ain't. We should work. There's a family of skunks living under your house. They've been there for years. Nobody's been able to get them out. You say they're under the house? Yep, that's where they're being. Oh, well, we haven't anything to worry about, Abner. I thought they was in the house in the way you talked. You plan to move in any house? Certainly. We're not afraid of skunks. Okay, but don't say it didn't warn you. They get mad and let fly.  Children, it's time you went to bed now. I don't want to go to bed yet. Now you get to bed. You've had a busy day. Do you hear? Yes, Mother. You think there's any truth in old Abner's story about the pesky old skunks, Dad? I'd rather doubt it, son. You know how these old timers are. I like to spin yarns. Well, come on now. You get to bed and no more stalling. Night, Mommy. Daddy? Night, Mom and Dad. Good night, children. Arnold, we've got to buy some rugs tomorrow. I don't like these bare floors. All right, Sue. I'll take you and the children to town in the morning. Arnold, what's that noise? No, Sue. There's no need for you all to get excited. That racket half scared me to death. I'm here to take care of things now. What's the matter, Mommy? What's the matter? What's that smell? I smell it, too. Oh, it's awful. We've got to get out of this house with that skunk gas.  Now get in here. Arnold, you should have opened the window. Well, that wouldn't do a bit of good. Wait till I get my hands on that high-binding real estate agent that sold me this place. What will we do now, Dad? It's cold out here. Well, we'll have to move into the neighbors. In the morning, I'll see what I can do about these here skunks. Slow you down, Arnold. But I got the miseries in my back. You go on ahead if you want. I'll catch up to you. You all take it easy, Edmond. I'm in no hurry to open the door to my house. Just wait till I get my hands on the skin-flint real estate agent. Too bad you didn't listen to me. You never get that skunk smell out of the house for a long time. I guess I got to learn the hard way, Edmond. You'd better stay here. I'll open the door. I think we'll. Just can't move fast anymore. Oh, Rodney, it smells bad, but this is worse. I'll say it's worse. It's worse than a field of cabbage after the first frost. Let's get our way from here, Arnold, before we pick this up in the clothes. Come on. I wish I knew what to do about these skunks. Maybe I can help you. You can? Why, Adnor, I'd be mighty obliged if you would. If we get back to the store, I'll call Bill Jefferson. Who's Bill Jefferson, Adnor? A specialist and a victim of skunks? No, he's Forest Ranger. Best there is. If Bill can't get your smelly friends out, then nobody can. I'd sure appreciate it if you'd call this here, Ranger. And when you're finished, I'm going to call Adnor County real estate and get him out here. I think I'll throw him inside my house. Edward, Arnold? Why not? Then he'd be with his relatives. I got it, fellas. Hello, Ranger Ed Quarters, Bill Jefferson speaking. Hi, hello, Adnor. How are you? That's fine. What? Oh, no. Maybe Bill will swallow the feather and it tickles the stomach. Adnor, I really shouldn't laugh because it's serious. Those skunks probably are ruined. The poor guy's personal belongings. What? Oh, sure. We'll get out right away and see what we can do. Okay, Adnor. Goodbye. Jefferson, what's so fun and funny? What's this about skunks? Well, fellas, as I told Adnor, it really isn't funny. But then again, it is. There's a family of skunks under a house at Goose Lake. It seems as though they won't let anybody live there but themselves. I suppose you're going to go out there and talk to Mon Puskunk and ask him to move, huh? Yeah, that's the general idea, old-timer. Bill, you make joke. I ain't going to get close to any pole cats, honey. Stumpy be reasonable. We're not going to get close to them. You know that. I got close once and had to take a bath every night in the week for a month. Then Momaw made me sleep out in the barn. I didn't mind sleeping in the barn, but I sure didn't like taking all those baths. Stumpy you. Come on, fellas. Let's ride out and take a look. Maybe we can help these folks. Okay, sonny, but if one of those critters raises his tail, I'm going to get, you know what I mean, get good. I'm going to throw you right through that door, George Sims. Anybody that would sell a house with scones in it ought to be tarred and feathered and rid out of town on a rail, you hear? Listen, Texan, you lay a hand on me and I'll have you pinched. I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen. Listen to me, you balling maverick. The only thing you told me was the price and where to sign my name. I'm going to heave you right through that door.  Keep away. I'm warning you.  It'll be worth going to jail to see you get what's coming to you. Hey, old toe. Give me a hand, Ranger. He's twice as big as I am. Rangers. All right, mister. Take your hands off this man.   Now let's cool down and find out what this is all about. Just behave yourself, sonny. We'll get to the bottom of this. I'll tell you what happened, Bill. Arnold here is too hot under the collar to talk sense. That'll be fine, Abner. Go ahead. Well, sir, told, started when Arnold here bought this place. It was Ferguson's house, four. When these folks from Texas came along... So that's the whole story, Bill. Thanks, Abner. Now, mister Sim, you'd better leave while the leaving's good. I think you pulled a fast one, but I'll go into that later. You just go ahead, Ranger. If that man wasn't such a know-it-all, I'd have told him. But I couldn't get in a word edgewise with a crowbar. You should have drove those smelly environments out before you sold the house. Now, see here, sonny, if you don't get a hold of your blood pressure, we'll just up and skedaddle. Oh, well, no, don't do that. I'll control the south, now on. Then we stay and try to help you. I really think you can get rid of them there, pesky skunks, Bill. Yes, we'll help, Arnold, Abner. It's not our job, but we're always glad to help folks in trouble. I sure appreciate your help. I'm just playing up a tree, and it looks like the skunks will keep me there unless you fellows get me down. Well, I'm not making any promises, but we'll do our best. Are you planning to get those fellows out, Bill? The first step of my plan is to make a phone call. Now, we're going back to town for a while, Arnold. Don't start anything until we get back. Don't fret about that, Bill. I ain't got a hand cream to get perfume to that anti-social gas the skunks put out. Okay, we'll see what we can do to make the skunk family a more acceptable society. Hello, Bill. Dr. Fordham at State University, Stumpy. I'd like to speak to Dr. Fordham, please. Just one more. Thank you. It is fellow skunk specialist, sonny. Not as such old-timer. He's an outstanding chemist and zoologist. One moment, please. I'm ringing Dr. Fordham. All right, operator. Oh, wait. You think he'll be able to tell you how to get rid of skunks? I hope so. Dr. Fordham speaking. Oh, Doctor. This is Bill Jefferson. Well, hello, Bill. How are you? Just fine. How are you, sir? Oh, what are you talking about? You're not old. Oh, well. How can I drive skunks out from under a house? Your house? No, a friend of mine has them under his house. They won't let him move in. They're giving him the gas, huh? Yeah. More than he can bottle, too. Well, really, it's nothing to laugh about. Hey, why don't you try mothballs, Bill? Will they do the trick? They should. But you know how skunks are. Yeah, they're used to strong smells. All right. Well, they don't smell with the same organ that they make gas with. That's a good thing. They'll be trying to run away from themselves. That's right, Bill. Mothballs, huh? Well, we'll try it. Thanks for your help, sir. Well, that's quite all right, Bill. If it doesn't work, let me know. I will. Goodbye. Who ever heard of driving out skunks with mothballs? That's like using flypaper to catch grizzly bears. What in the world is that gear you're taking out of the car? Looks like you're getting ready for a rainstorm. We ain't getting ready for no rainstorms, honey. This is our battle gear for a skunk war. Well, you see what else we brought? Well, a gas mask. Sure. You don't think I'm going to put my bare face under your house without this over it, do you? You think the gas mask will keep the odor out? I don't know, young fella.  They think you'll mend from Mars. I'll tell you how you'll know if this gas mask works or not, huh? How's that something? When one of them fellas swings his caboose around and aims his tail at me, well, the first whiff of the skunk perfume I get through the mask, I'm coming out from under the house. In fact, the house will move right off its foundation. As if I come out from under it, I'm really coming out. Yes, sirie Jenkins! Let's get down to work, fellas. First, I want to carry out Arnold's clothes and his family's, too, and we'll carry out the upholstered furniture and store it in the garage. Then we go to work and put down the mothballs under the house. You really going to crawl under the house, Bill? No, Arnold, we're not. With your permission, we'll open up the floor in strategic places and drop the mothballs down. That's okay with me. Anything to get rid of them pesky skunks. You bring along some extra gear so I can help y'all? Yeah. We'll have your outfit sorted out in a minute. Oh, gear already now, Bill. Well, those poor guys don't take these things for candy and come back for more. Put the mothballs down here, Stuffy. Okay, sirie. Well, you want me to tear up the floor next, Bill? I'll make a hole in the kitchen floor, Gray Wolf. Okay, I do. I think we got enough mothballs under the house except for the kitchen. Quick moment! What did you say? I said this is enough. Ah! Don't forget it. Follow me. Oh, pretty. You think we'll ever get that order off the rubber gear, sonny? No, sure. We'll wash off old-timer. And wash off rubber easier than off-skin. Oh, those white-striped kitties are getting some of their own medicine. When they get out in the woods smelling like mothballs, none of their relatives will come near them. I sure haven't seen any of them running out from under the house yet. On given time, mothballs not work as fast as skunk gas. That's true. But I hope this year's stuff starts working soon. When are the skunks going to leave? I'd like to get back in my room, Dad. Yes, Daddy. You said the mothballs would drive them away. You all have to be patient now. Bill didn't make any promises. Well, we can't stay with our neighbors forever, Arnold. I reckon you're right. Maybe the skunks will be out in a couple of days. What do you see, Stumby? This house is so big, I can't see them critters. But I sure can smell them. They're still under there, Bill. Might say the same thing. Mothballs not work. The whole family probably put on weight eating the mothballs. It's the best candy they've ever had. Oh, Stumby. Put the can of mothballs out here and see if they don't come out and lean up against it. Now, see here, fellas. I don't like to be on, right? Well, I don't think we're getting anywhere. If y'all don't get results, I will. Well, that, sonny. I'll get a shotgun and go in there after. Don't be foolish, young fella. Stumby's right, Arnold. Let's take it easy. I'm gonna call Dr. Fordham and tell him what happened. He'll have something else we can use. So that's the bad news, Doctor. Stumby says it's the best candy they ever had. Frankly, I don't know. I'd rather doubt it. Well, that's fine. We can pick up the chemicals if you wish. Okay, Doctor. We'll be waiting. Goodbye. Now what, Bill? Let's get a bite to eat and then we'll drive back to the Fleming Zone. Dr. Fordham will be here in a couple of hours. Ah, he better have good idea this time. Or Arnold will get plenty mad. Who do you think the skunks feel? Ever had somebody try to evict you?  They'll feel like I've been in the shower bath. They'll get plenty hot inside, rubber a gear, all right. Well, Dr. Fordham, we've got the bags of chemicals placed under the house. We put them in the same place as we put the mothballs. Well, that's fine, Bill. Chemicals will probably activate the mothballs as well as generate their own gases. We might as well go home for the night. Nothing's gonna happen till morning. I sure hope this works, Dr. Fordham. I'm getting married as short of patience. I just can't make any promises, Mr. Fleming. I'm not a specialist in driving out skunks, you know. Why don't you charge them rent? Well, I would, old time, if I could get clothes enough to collect. That's right, sonny. These skunks are getting more attention than any of them ever got in history. He's plenty mad. The mothballs aren't doing their job. Dr. Fordham, what are you trying to do to me? I'm trying to get rid of the pests under your house, Mr. Fleming. That's great. All the neighbors are complaining of the odor. From the skunks? Not from the chemicals. Get away from that! Well, you see what I mean? Smell what you mean, sonny. I guess the skunks are dead, but now they're dead. Well, them there critters probably knocked themselves out trying to outsmell the smell that's coming from the chemicals.  What the use? You fellas have some sense of the hill, but I'm sorry, Arnold. I know you're in trouble. Let's get our gear on, fellas, and take the chemicals out. You can throw them into the lake. It'll dissipate the odor.  No, it won't, Arnold. That's still certainly good for getting rid of people. It won't bother fish or skunks. I'm sorry it didn't work, Mr. Fleming. That's all right, doctor. You tried your best. I think I know what'll work for sure. What about Bill? We'll build a wire mesh fence around the bottom of the house and leave only one opening. Outside the opening, we'll put food and water. They'll come out when they're hungry and thirsty enough. Sounds like a good idea. That's to get the material and go to work. I think that there, boys of ours, has a good idea here. Even a pool cat gets hungry and thirsty. I believe this is a workable plan, too, old-timer. Here comes Bill. He and Dr. Fordham must be finished on the other side of the house. That's good enough, fellas. I want to leave a big opening for them to get out. Maybe they go back under house if they get food and water. We'll make a gate and drop it on a rope and pulley after they go for the food. Oh, that'll do it. If you leave the wire mesh around the house, Mr. Fleming, no animals can get underneath it. That's right, doctor. Let's get the bait set and the gate up, fellas. We do right away, Bill. Aaron told me that you've got the right idea now. You saw to make them rascals move? I'll tell you better, two or three days from now. About an hour, we'll be ready to see what happens. Hey, Doc, Bill, how do you plan to split up the watches? I'll take the first watch, and Gray Wolf the second, and you the third. I'll take a turn to setting up. I will, too, Bill. Why should we sleep when you fellas are watching? Okay. It'll make it easier. Well, let's hit the hay, fellas. If your body don't need the rest, your patients will. This is going to be a long wait. Bill, 24 hours have gone by, and nothing's happened. How long can they hold out? No food, no water? Well, they've probably still got some mothballs left to eat, and they've gnawed through the water pipe. Well, they can't go too much longer without food and water, fellas. Well, it better happen soon, because my patients is getting my defense. Bill, I've given you a chance long enough. Now, I'm going to do things my way. I'll get those skunks out of there. Arnold, where are you going? To get my shot done. Oh, don't be foolish, man. Wait a little longer. They can't live in there more than the rest of the day without food and water. Wait, wait, wait. That's all you can say. Well, I'm through waiting, you hear? Look, fellas, there come skunks now. Yeah, what do you know? Here comes Pa and Ma and the three little skunks. Let them eat and drink, fellas. Don't scare them off until they've had their fill. All right, drop the gates, dumpy. Rouse mid them, fellas. Right for the woods. You missed it, Arnold. The skunks came out and they're gone. How are you feeling now, Arnold? I'm feeling mighty fine, Bill. Thanks for all you and your range has did for us. Oh, forget it, Arnold. We're glad to help. Uh-oh. Here comes the real estate agent that I control yourself, Arnold. Hello, Mr. Fleming, Rangers. Hello, Mr. Fleming. Hi, Sims. What do you want, Mr. Sims? I'd like to buy your house, Mr. Fleming. I'll give you a thousand dollars more than you paid for it. Why, you sawed-off groundhog. I wouldn't sell my property to you. Get it easy, Arnold. He's gone. Oh, would you? That's right, Stumpy. It's not the same thing the skunks got. Eviction. You said it, Sonny. Maybe we should have kept the polecats in a bag so that he could take them home with him. Maybe so, Stumpy. Well, the skunk family moved after they'd given everybody a bad time, or I shouldn't say a smelly time. You know, Rangers could have shot or trapped the animals, but they didn't like to operate that way, only as a last resort. Rangers like to treat animals the way we'd want to be treated if we were in the same spot. We'll see you next week for more adventure with... Rangers!


Here's why I love the NHS. It's a very simple reason. I made a flesh and blood. I get ill, my loved ones get ill and they need health care. I had two babies delivered within the NHS by doctors and midwives and nurses and the nice porter bought me a cup of tea. But he didn't have much to do with the delivery. My point is that the NHS matters to all of us. My father had a triple bypass operation. I didn't do it. The NHS did it. Protecting the NHS from privatisation, which is happening by stealth, we know it's happening. It's not a left wing issue or a right wing issue. It's a human issue. It's a mark of how civilised we are as a country. It sets us apart from countries who give health care according to your financial means, to value a human life, according to what money you have. That's not right. Your NHS needs you. Go to yournhs.com and see how you can help we need to resist this bill.  In that case, stop it.


When one basketball team is trailing another and the clock starts winding down they have three problems One they need to score points two They need to stop the other team from scoring points and three they constantly have less and less time to accomplish this So what's the easiest option when you don't have the ball you found the other team on purpose? This solves one of their problems because it stops the clock ticking down toward their inevitable doom Of course They also have to hope that the leading team misses their free throws so that they can again get the rebound run Down the court get another basket and then repeat the whole process over again if this sounds like an unlikely way to get a win That's because it is the problem is there's no alternative So while it's only a small chance teams continue to do it It's difficult to put an exact number on it But intentional files occur in somewhere around half of NBA and NCAA men's basketball games But they almost never result in a team coming back to win Nick Elam the fearless hero of today's story calculated that out of 535 NBA games in which a team fouled late the fouling team still lost in regulation 96.6% of the time Only 0.4% won in regulation while the other 3% just forced overtime According to a highly rigorous study conducted by me based on one random NBA a game I watched the clock stops for about 40 seconds for a player to shoot a pair of free throws So an extra two intentional fouls in half of NBA games means that fans are watching players stand around for over 13 hours in a season for basically no reason. Let's go folks time is money Okay, so what's the solution here Elam came up with a hybrid duration format Which has since been dubbed the elemending because that sounds better a game with the elemending would have two portions Hence the hybrid format will use the NBA and their 48 minute games for an example The game would be completely normal until there were three minutes left in the fourth quarter at this point The next time place stops two things happen first the game clock is turned off and second a target score is determined At this point you're probably wondering if intentional files really are that big a deal And why do we need to bring long division into this but here amount so we have two hypothetical basketball teams Let's call them the Celtics in the Lakers. There's an errand pass and the ball goes out of bounds with two minutes And 58 seconds left. We're gonna turn the clock off now They're not the shot clock that stays and to calculate our target score All we have to do is add seven points to the leading teams total since the Celtics are winning 80 to 75 Our target score is 87 points. In other words, the first team to score 87 points is the winner No matter how long it takes the Lakers no longer have a game clock to contend with and thus they only have two goals Score points and prevent the Celtics from scoring points, you know playing basketball They have no incentive to foul because all they would do is put the Celtics on the line Which would give them a high likelihood of scoring and getting closer to the target score The interesting thing though is that it doesn't just solve the intentional foul issue in a normal game The winning team gains an advantage from holding the ball as long as they can't just to drain the clock Which is also not much fun to watch But this is no longer the case because now they have the same goal score points and stop the other team from scoring points It also eliminates the trailing team from rushing down the core to breakneck speeds Just to chuck the ball up at the hoop as quickly as they can and this in turn actually increases the chances of a comeback Because now that they don't have to worry about fouling the closest guy in sight It will reward teams for playing good basketball rather than getting lucky by throwing up wild shots Why seven points though? Good question. I'm glad you asked three minutes The portion of the game we're eliminating is one sixteenth of a 48 minute game while seven points is about one 16th the total points a team scores in an average NBA game In other words on average it would take a team three minutes to score seven points Now theoretically the game could be over in just three possessions a pair of two pointers and three and the game is over But on average a team scores one point per possession So it will likely take a little longer than that the threat However that they could end it very quickly would spur the losing team on to play harder Elon points out that while most intentional files only occur in the final minute Only eliminating one minute by using the same ratio would mean that the target score would only add two or three points Thus potentially ending the game on the next position and that's too boring Wouldn't this eliminate the buzzer beater though kind of it would eliminate the dramatic scene of the game winning shot Taken with the ball hanging in the air as time expires while the whole arena watches with baited breath Except no, I lied because it wouldn't eliminate that at all Remember a game where the target scores 87 we can easily imagine the Lakers making a comeback and tying the game at 85 points You're really gonna try to convince me that the creation of a next-shot wins scenario would be boring I don't think so and actually if that wasn't good enough Literally every game with the e-limiting features a walk-off winning basket How does an alley-oop from half court to win a game sound on the excitement scale all games would end on a basket Not some guy holding the ball at center court for 20 seconds while everyone else starts shaking hands and high-fiving Spike Lee There's got to be something wrong with this though, right? There are a number of issues that people have raised with it But nothing that under analysis seems to be anywhere close to the current format in the intentional foul issue is If you want to read a compilation of them, I'll link Elon's page of responses in the description at over 22,000 words. It's quite thorough Elon has said that it's a constantly evolving idea and it can easily be adapted to switching up the target score or changing How certain situations are handled the basketball tournament Which is a yearly tournament that any team can enter and has a winner-take-all prize of two million dollars Started to use the e-limiting in 2017 their response has been overwhelmingly positive They did find a bit of a bug in the system in which teams that were one or two points shy of the target score began intentionally fouling the other team when that team was three points shy of the target score This would take away the option to shoot a three-pointer Force them to shoot only two free throws and give the fouling team a possession again But the good news is this was counteracted by a simple role change for the tournament coming up this year In which a fouled team in the untimed portion of the game gets one foul shot and possession of the ball Which frankly wouldn't be horrible in regular gameplay as it's just more incentive not to foul And it would keep gameplay going So the e-limiting stop the clock with three minutes left Add seven to the winning teams total to determine your target score and have at it. There's no more over times There's no more dragging the game out There's always excitement at the end of the game and everyone gets home a little earlier


So, let me show you the world's biggest hangar which was built for what was going to be the world's biggest airship. This is called as the Arium hangar. This is a small film shot from the air by a hangar. This hangar is in a disused second World War airship at a place called Brandt in Germany which is around 70 miles away from Berlin. So in the year 2002, I had the chance to visit this place because we had gone to Cargo Lifter, the company which was based in this hangar to talk about Cargo Lifter airship project and the possibility of associating with them in some R&D activities. So, first I want you to just have a very close look at this hangar and then I will give you some idea about its dimensions, its cost, etc. So, this hangar was built by the Cargo Lifter company. The work started in the year 2000. I had a very interesting time lapse video which shows the construction of the hangar. So what they did is they from the same place in the grounds, they took one picture every day and the scene of these pictures becomes a time lapse video of the construction activity. So notice this hangar has on the sides these cutouts. These cutouts are basically meant to help in removing of the turbulence created by the side wind because on such a large size, side winds will create a lot of load. The shape of the hangar also is very interesting. It has been optimized for reduction of the load acting because of the drag due to the ambient wind condition. And on both sides we have these clamshell type opening doors which were robotic doors and they could be open. In this particular film we have seen that the back door is slightly open to allow for the draft of the air as we saw in the previous film. So this is the basic hangar. Now let us learn little bit more about it. Look at the dimensions of this hangar. The length is 360 meters, the height is 196 meters, it is more than 100 meters high and the width is 220 meters. So at 5.5 million meter cube, this is the world's largest uninterrupted volume building and the next largest building is the factory of Boeing at Everett which makes the final assembly. But that is occupied building. This is the largest unoccupied or free building. It is a free standing steel bone structure and the shape is called as a barrel bone shape and inside this hangar we have seen a cutting table which was 180 meters long. This particular table was required to cut the petals of the airship. The cargo lifter airship, its petals were so large that you needed a table of 180 meters length on which you can cut the petals, give a proper contour and cut the petals and then if you join the petals you will get the envelope. The cost of this hangar was 78 million euros into 1000 which is approximately 543 crore rupees. So, before you start even thinking of making the airship, you have to invest 550 crores odd of money just to make the hangar in which you will start the activities. Now this company cargo lifter, it went bankrupt in 2002, we will discuss towards the end of the course when we look at the commercial aspects of LTA systems, why it went bankrupt. We will talk about cargo lifter also. So therefore if a company goes bankrupt, it cannot keep an asset of 540 crores just standing. So now it has been sold for use for some other purpose but can you think of what could be the purpose for which this hangar was sold? Go for very wild imagination, imagine you are an entrepreneur and someone says, hey I have this big hangar, 360 meters, 220 meters, 106 meters high, situated 70 miles south-west of Berlin in an abandoned or disused airfield, what would you use it for? So go wild. Let me use some hint, the application is totally non-technical, nothing to do with aviation airships. Yes. The Olympic stadium, no, because Olympic stadium is already available in Germany in Berlin, okay. Biological garden or forest, you very much near the mark, biological garden or forest. It was used as an amusement park, there is something called as a tropical resort. So I will show you some pictures of what is there inside the hangar now. So inside the hangar they have created this tropical garden. So that you can see the hangar walls are visible, okay. You can see that they have created a small tropical island inside this particular hangar and this is a better picture, this shows you what they have done inside. So when it is very, very cold outside, you use the side of the hangar to bring in the sunlight, you can do sun bathing, okay. It may be snow outside, but inside you can create an artificial tropical island. This is Germany, very cold, okay. So they do not get an experience of hot climate and they spend a lot of money in travelling to so many places. So they said do not travel anywhere, just come near Berlin and we will give you the tropical experience right in near Berlin. So this is what they are doing in this particular place now.

The great search brought to you by itford and digi key. Thank you digi key This is the weekly segment where lady to use their power of engineering to help you. Yes, you find the things you're looking at and For on digi key comm lady Eda. What are you looking for this week in the great search? You would never guess it But this one has to do with a part that I can't get anymore. I bet the parts shortage I bet it has something to his parts. Oh good. Yes so this week We are you know, what's interesting is half the time You can tell I do a part shortage because I'm like, hey, I'm designing anything and I got a speck apart and the other half is I'm told by the fabrication team at itford. They're like, hey, like we can't get this when the purchasing team says This part would end of line. We can't get any more. We need your help to find an alternative So we can keep production going. So this week The part that I was told is no longer available Because again, not only is it hard to get some parts but parts that are available are going end of line much faster end of life and are you know, no Other not get you know, not uncanceable non-returnable Which means they're kind of nearing the end of their functionality life. And so You know finding a good alternative for The this part the fan five three three three Even though I think there's a last time by I haven't learned my lesson used to be last time by Meant you could actually last time by does not mean that anymore. It means like it's over. Good luck Maybe we'll send to you to some in two years so this It's this week. We're going to let's go to the computer and I'll show the part that I am getting so the part that we're gonna get is the fan five three three B and I love this part to be honest. It was a high current 1.5 amp internal switch fast 1.5 megahertz switching frequency Super small inexpensive sought 23 5 boost converter for LEDs and what's cool about this is that it was a constant current LED driver, which means that you know if you're Dealing with back lights.  That's kind of big like this Like anything that's over like three inch tfts. The back lights are often in parallel So let's look at the backlight diagram Okay, so this is the Display and there's the pin out and then we look at the back light. It's like bam You have six or seven LEDs in a row You want to drive the 20 milliamps But you have to the the V forward for the LEDs is 22 volts and this is not uncommon most largest Flays require a boost converter to drive the LED backlight and The V forward of course is dependent on you know, if you have like what LED? You know, you can use a resistor. You don't have to do constant current cuz it's like, ah, it's three It's 3.4. It's it's you know, somewhere around three ish volts But when you have a bunch in a row and there's variations in the backlight design and variations in temperature and you know Whatever how bright you want to run it? That VF is it's it says 21.7, but that's not guaranteed. It can really vary from 20 to 24 So having something that's constant current you said it look I just want 20 milliamps and you you boost it as high as possible To get to that voltage That's what you want a constant current driver for and that's what the fan 5333 be did wonderfully. I loved it. So up to 30 volts Again did you know 1.5 amps because let's say You had you know 24 volts output divided by 3.3 volts input So it's a seven seven and a half times multiply and then let's say you had a 0.5 Sorry 0.05 amp output So you need at least You know 400 milliamps point for amp current switch, but honestly, I would really double it. You really want, you know, at least 750 milliamp Internal switch current so you don't overload it and also, you know, if you need a little bit more like 75 milliamps You can do it. So this was a really great driver, which is why it's so tragic That it's not available. So let's look at what what it used to be Here we go last time by This is it end of line. So let's find an alternative and I will say it's a little challenging to find a perfect alternative, but I'll do the best I can and One thing another thing is the price was really nice. These are about 60 cents a piece Which is like really sweet. So you do need an inductor You need a diode and these also needed a protection diode. They would actually They need a Zeno diode to avoid going over voltage, but you know, those were cheap. Those were 10 cents So not bad. So let's find something similar again from three to five volt input 2024 volt output Switch current of at least a half an amp But you know as much as possible high speed PWMable and Ideally the same size and pinout. Wouldn't that be wouldn't that be nice? So let's find something. It's a DC-DC regulator. It's a step up with an internal switch and one output I'm not going to set the voltage input min max because of course it can always be a wider range But also I'm a little flexible on it voltage output again. I don't need up to 30. I just need around like 20 Current output. I'll just see what's available I do want surface mount and I don't pick the package case because remember there's Sot 235 and there's T-Sot 235 and both will work. So I don't set this and I set this on the next page So All right, here we are. So let's look for only active items because again, we don't want to we don't want to find things We've already found Next up we do want to set the package So I'm going to go down here and I'm going to select Sot 23 thin or T-Sot Which is also the same as SC-74A I'm like pretty sure that was the one. It's not the same as 70 Yes, 70-5 is the smaller version 74A is the same as T-Sot 235 I will say by the because you know, obviously I do these You know earlier because I again already to make sure I can actually find something There is a lot more options if I'm willing to go to the T-Sot 6 So I will say, you know, if there might be some situation where I'm like, oh if I have to update the design There might be better. There'll be more and better options if I'm willing to go to a 6 pin It's not 236, but again, I'm looking for something that could swap into my current designs to just let me stretch out the PCBs I have now So let's look here and this is already only 35 options So I'm also going to look for stuff that's In stock right now. I will say that there's a couple options are not in stock If it's not in stock, a lot of them aren't coming into stock until 2023 And then the voltage output I will say, you know, I didn't want to limit this because Some of them they were like voltage output But they can actually go a little bit higher than 20 or 21 volts Also the current output because some of these are switch current and some of these are non switch I was like, you know what? Let me I'll just look at the data sheet for each and see what's up next step Search by price because I want to kind of get something close. So the first thing I'm going to look at is this like ZX LD With boost converters, you really do have to just look at the The design so the only thing is that this is actually kind of weird It is a backlight driver, but it's actually like a cell It's for a photo cell photovoltaic cell Input to an LED. So it's it's it's a funky useful thing, but it's not what I want It's not it's not the kind of boost converter. I'm looking for next step is the NCP 5 0 7 also pretty good price about the same looking at this Okay, so this this looks promising because this is you can tell it's actually boost converter and it's meant for a string of LEDs It can do up to 20 20 22 volt output, which is a little bit low But I think it might work fine for most of my designs. You'll read it said about 20 22 volt output Let's look at the current It can do 1.0 watts, which is if you divide by 22 volts about 45 milliamps. So, you know, yeah, not too bad The only thing is I looked at this one and I looked at this and you see it's switch ground feedback and this one is feedback ground and so it's It's not the same. It's the same package was not the same pin out. So You know, that doesn't mean I'm gonna say no to it because I could we route some traces I could still use the same pick-and-place program the same stencil, but I'm not loving this one so far. All right. Next step is the cat 4139 this one Looking so switch ground feedback And this one does switch ground feedback shut down VA and so this has the right pin out just good. It has the right package. It's good It's also says can drive lines up to 22 volts But when I looked Yeah, I'd like to have 22 volts, but it was actually willing to do a little bit above I think I remember I saw it was like, oh, you know, you could go to there's an old overvoltage detection at 23 or 24 so depending on the displays, it might actually be okay and then The switch current is 750 milliamps remember you've got like that's the Multiplied current from the input so that would mean Let's see 22 volts divided by 3.3 There's like seven times so 750 divided by seven so Max a hundred milliamp output, but really I'd say 50 milliamps is probably good. That means Two parallel strands which for that 4.3 inch display it only had one strand But the seven is displays we have have two strands in a row. So that's good to know and It has some open LED detection And it has PWM control So the only thing that was a lot is it wanted a little bit of like it had it was this stir Here to protect their feedback pin, but it wasn't clear if you actually needed it The feedback resistance is a little different. So this uses a 0.3 volts feedback and I believe this one uses Oh, no, it also has about 0.3 volts. So that's good the feedback resistor is the same and You can PWM the the input No more than two kilohertz But it is PWM. Well, which is what I would do for our designs I would use that for the that's how you PWM the LED you actually just like turn on and off the boost converter really really fast So will this work? I mean it doesn't go as high. It's not 30 volts is 22 volts that said I think Given the small number of items in stock like after this The price gets really high and like this boost converter is only 350 milliamp switch And then it's like okay. Now the pricing gets quite high one chip that did look like it was a very good option If if the cat 4139 doesn't work Is the MCP? 1664 this goes up to 36 volts and a 1.8 amp switch so it's it's a really good output and I think I Think the yeah switch ground feedback switch ground feedback So this is also pin compatible the only thing is it's twice the price, but It will definitely do the job. It does that voltage or higher. It does that much current or higher So it's it's kind of an upgrade. So I've got two options. I'm probably going to Try this one for some of the smaller displays like again the ones that only have one strand but if I need You know two strand or three strand something that really wants to push a lot of current or High voltage across the display. I can always go to the the MCP party the MCP one six six four So two options But I'm going to probably start with this one the cat We'll go back here the cat 4139 and there's a couple thousand stocks so I can pick these up and then You know see how they how they do in the design and of course, you know, I'll know immediately if It's not lighting up the backlight or if there's any issues So I'll probably pick some up hot air them on to the backlight controller for some of my displays And just like do they light up bright enough if so? We'll be able to use that. I'll just check each display one after the other If it doesn't work with this one, I'll try the MCP as well All right, that's a great search


The National Association of Universities students knows has given a seven-day ultimate attempt at the federal government to finalize all agreement with the academic staff union of Universities ASU to end the ongoing strike action. The group further warned that the failure of the federal government to complete settlement with ASU would proceed to carry out nationwide protests which would put the economic and political activities in the country on hold. Speaking during a press briefing with journalists that the Obama family are wallower University in Leitha, the Oshun State President of Naus, Eroubami Ayurbami urged government to provide more funding and revitalize public universities in Nigeria. We are giving the federal government the seven-day ultimate attempt that after this press conference if there are no substantial changes we will dust our palms and get to the street. In view of the prolonged nature of this strike it is beginning to take a negative turn on our students in particularly now that we all seem not to know when these challenges are going to finally come to an end. We want to again use this press conference to appeal to the federal government to consider the plight of many of our members whom have been affected seriously by this strike and also to plead with the federal government to revisit the position on ASU and the need for both parties to return back to the negotiating table so that all of these issues can be resolved once and for all.
