You're not being dense, not at all. I was in a hurry and not clear enough: Sound is different of audio signal. Audio signal is whatever way you arrange to represent signals in the audio range of frequencies and, usually, dynamic rang.

That's why it was just for monitoring - you could hear, but the communication itself was not done via sound.

Good catch, but it was actually over audio signals. Sound was just for monitoring.

This is not a government rank, it is an elections ranking. From your comment history, I can see you have an axe to grind in Brazilian politics. Please keep it to relevant discussions.

Most commercially available technology have particle accelerator-powered versions that are much more powerful. This is the case for MA-XRF, used for the same purpose with painting at the synchrotron light source at Brookhaven: http:/&

I bet this research used a particle accelerator, but the article doesn't mention it. Only these machines seem to be able to generate x-rays with enough brilliance and collimation for this kind of research. Unfortunately, most of the pr

Again, I do not disagree with you. However, the hardware vendor (the one who sells the parts that will be used on these devices) still keeps selling about the same devices. And these are the kind of devices Intel has decided to overlook 15,

You're not wrong, but from the a hardware vendor perspective, grandparent is right: an IOT device is simply a embedded/microcontroller market. Maybe with a bit more emphasis on connectivity, but this is not new in any way.

This article conflates digital map and GPS shamelessly, making the argument very confusing. First, even if I rely on GPS for turn by turn navigation, I still use the map to see the route and specially to locate myself when in a new area. So

Audio is a name for signals that represent sound waves humans can hear. As we are only sensitive to sound in some frequencies, there is a range of frequencies in which audio signals may exist. This diagram shows it, probably as a more munda

Audio signals may - and usually are - represented by EM waves. Do not confuse "audio signals" with "acoustic signals". The diagram is not only easy to understand, but also technically correct.

I don't think it was in error, but a deliberate attempt to add emphasis. I usually put it in parenthesis(!), so it does not confuse the reader.

Also, the web application is very poor on features. You can't even make a search in all your notes. This renders it useless to me.
