In the 90s, I interviewed for a job at a company that makes industrial UPS systems. Three phase, 480 volts, 3/4 of a megawatt. Keep a factory going for an hour or two off grid. They kept the inverters running all the time and routed all power thru the UPS to avoid any switching transients. And were working on a system to route any in-house excess power back onto the grid... All digital controls. Anyhoo, the chief engineer there was designing correction factors out to the 5th harmonic & beyond. Using designer transformers, wound in house with Litz wire, some kind of special low-hysteresis iron alloy core. Switching transistors the size of bricks, mostly made of thermal compound. He was trying to get better than the industry accepted 92% efficiency out of the thing. Would've been an interesting job, but they didn't make an offer. It was fun to visit the plant, however.

Yeah, there's a difference between a sine wave with teeny tiny stair-steps on it, and the uncontrolled fuzz of a pwm switching function...

Now that I think about it, I don't know how the UPS company controlled the harmonics. They must have been able to fine-tune the timing and amplitude of the correction signals, while those big ass igFETs had to strictly avoid operation in the linear range so they didn't overheat. I saw the remains of some igFET bricks they had exploded. I got a lousy grade in my linear networks class (didn't like the professor) (when slide rules were being replaced with primitive hp calculators) but I'm pretty sure that if you slam a square current pulse into an analog circuit, the result is predictable. But how the company linearly combined 180Hz and 300Hz into the output with >92% efficiency I do not know. The whole system was singing like a struck anvil at about 6000Hz, and the engineer said it was magnetostriction in their handmade transformer cores, and the cause of some lost efficiency. He was exploring different geometries and alloys for them.

@ACL9000 @MeanwhileInOhio it's best if you can work through it without pharmaceuticals or alcohol. SSRIs and anaesthetics just make you numb and delay the pain...

I always thought they would suck blood until they burst, and spew hundreds of baby ticks. Now I'm not so sure they don't lay eggs somewhere, but the gorged condition is still the end of their life cycle. I drop them in rubbing alcohol when I pick one off myself or find it crawling around. It's hard to kill them before they are ready to die.

Burning probably works too. Soaking in alcohol kills all the eggs and or baby ticks.

ahh, nevermind @syzygy from wikipedo i see it's a -sense sequence, and the replicase fixes up a proper mRNA from it.. it steals 5' ends off of host RNA and adds the AAA tail when it enters the host cell. and i'm pretty sure the sequences of the S and L segments are published somewhere as well. those L segments tend to be strongly 'conserved', as they are crucial to viral replication.

I should start a Jolly coin, if there isn't already one. Download the software, and start making them.. think I'll use ROT13 encryption.
