The device, the scheme of which is shown in fig. 1 produces a complex audio frequency signal reminiscent of birdsong. The basis for it was a somewhat unusual asymmetric standby multivibrator, assembled on two bipolar silicon transistors of different conductivity. The power supply GB1 (battery "Korund") through connector X1 is permanently connected to the cascade on the transistor VT2, which is separated from the first cascade on the transistor VT1 by the normally open button SB1. A feature of the device is the presence of three timing circuits, which, in fact, determines the nature of the sound effect. The simulator does not have a general power switch, since the current consumption in standby mode does not exceed 0,1 μA, which is much less than the battery self-discharge current.

The device works like this. One has only to press the button SB1, and the capacitor C1 is charged to the voltage of the battery GB1. After releasing the button, the capacitor will power the transistor VT1. It will open, and the base current VT2 will flow through its collector-emitter junction, which will also open. This is where the RC positive feedback circuit, made up of resistor R2 and capacitor C2, comes into play, and the generator is excited. Since the input of the generator is relatively high-resistance, and the resistor R2 connected in series with the capacitor C2 has a large resistance, a current pulse of considerable duration will follow. It, in turn, will be filled with a "pause" of shorter pulses, the frequency of which lies within the audio range. These fluctuations arise due to the presence of a parallel LC circuit, consisting of the inductance of the BF1 capsule winding, its own capacitance and the capacitance of the capacitor C3, connected by alternating current in parallel with the BF1 winding.

Due to the non-linearity of the charge-discharge process of capacitors C2 and C3, sound vibrations will be additionally modulated in frequency and amplitude. The result is a sound played by the BF1 phone as a whistle, which continuously changes timbre, and then breaks off - a pause follows.

Birdsong Simulator
Fig. 1

After the discharge of the capacitor C2, a new cycle of its charge begins - the generation resumes. With each subsequent sound, as the voltage on the capacitor C1 decreases, the whistle melody becomes different, increasingly interspersed with a click characteristic of bird singing, and the volume gradually decreases. At the end of the "trill" a few quiet, gentle, fading whistles are heard. After that, the voltage at the base of VT1 will fall below the threshold for opening it (about 0,6-0,7 V), both galvanically connected transistors close, and the sound stops.

After some time, the capacitor C1 is completely discharged (through its own internal resistance, the resistor R1, the transistor VT1 and the emitter junction VT2), the circuit formed by the elements R1, C1, VT1 is connected between the base and the emitter of the transistor VT2, locking it even more and thereby providing a high economy of the device in standby mode. The simulator is resumed by pressing the button again.

The device can use transistors of the KT201, KT301, KT306, KT312, KT315, KT316, KT342 (VT1) series; KT203, KT208, KT351, KT352, KT361 (VT2) with a static current transfer ratio of at least 30. Any small-sized resistor R1, for example MLT-0,125, tuning resistor - SPO-0,4, SP3-9a. Capacitors C2, C3 - MBM (KLS, K10-7V), C1-oxide, for example K50-6. Phone BF1 - capsule DEMSh-1, a miniature "earphone" TM-2A (the plastic nozzle is removed in it - the sound guide) or another, but always electromagnetic, with a winding resistance of up to 200 Ohms; button KM1-1 or MP3.

Establishment comes down to selecting the position of the tuning resistor engine, at which the desired sound effect is reproduced.

The nature of "singing" is easy to change by selecting the following elements empirically: C1 within 20-100 microfarads (determines the total duration of the sound), C2 within 0,1-1 microfarads (the duration of each individual sound). In addition, C2 and R1 (within 470 kΩ - 2,2 MΩ) determine the duration of the pauses between the first and subsequent sounds. The timbre coloring of sounds depends on the capacitance of capacitor C3 (1000 pF-0,1 uF).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Samsung eUFS Flash Chips for Automotive Systems 29.09.2017

Samsung Electronics announced the industry's first Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) embedded flash memory chips for automotive on-board equipment.

UFS is a general flash storage specification for various electronic devices. Compared to the widely used eMMC memory, UFS chips provide a significant increase in performance while reducing power consumption.

The new Samsung eUFS chips are designed for use in advanced driver assistance systems (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, ADAS), next-generation dashboards, and infotainment systems.

Products with a capacity of 64 and 128 GB are presented. They are made in accordance with the JEDEC UFS 2.1 standard. The declared data read speed reaches 850 MB / s, which is approximately 3,4 times faster than eMMC 5.0 memory. The number of input / output operations per second (IOPS) when reading reaches 45 - this is about 000 times more than eMMC.

The Samsung eUFS Chip Controller contains a temperature sensor that allows you to monitor the state of the chips and control the approach of the temperature to critical values.

Samsung announces the start of production of new eUFS products. Thus, such chips will soon appear in the systems of connected cars and vehicles with a self-governing complex.
