Hello everyone;
Of the more recent units that have been a major source of confusion for
many Internet users, myself included, were the units for download
speeds: K/sec versus kbps.
It made a lot of users wonder why their 56K modem only downloaded files
at 5K/sec instead of say- 40 kbps. It

Recall it? I still use it !

I just plotted 7 decades of test data to check this out. Did you also know
that if you use a linear Y axis instead of your recommended log format, that
the data plots as a perfectly straight line?
Incredible! I'll bet there's some fundamental, yet hidden truth, in this
relationship. Next,
Not so strange these circuits from 1926- figs 34 and 34 are examples.
Parallel , Yes.

I ran into this uppercase K problem many years ago when I kept trying to
write KHz in documents and the word processing group kept sending the
finished text to me using kHz. I finally got the WP manager to show me
their style manual, which referenced back to, IIRC, Mil-Std-800 (a standard

speaking of garbled use of units, How many buy
hardrives in bits? everyone I hear says bytes as in
a 10 megabyte HD. They even abbreviate is as 10 MB
when it should be called a 10 Megabit drive (10 Mb)
with little b as big B is for Byte.

Our magazine's standard is k for both 1000 and for 1024. So,
1024 bytes appears as 1 kbyte (we always spell out byte. I
suppose we'd use k for Boltzmann's constant. Upper case K is for
Kelvin. We use M for mega (1 million) and m for milli (1/1000).
We also use M for the binary, as in 1 Mbytes.
John,
Thanks for the feedback.
Folks,
If a product is already certified to EN61010-1 for Low Voltage Directive
compiance, does it also have to meet EN60950?
Does anyone have a copy of the English version of the Sweden Ordinance SFS
1991:1290?
Please email copy to me at
John,
Thanks for your reply.
Following up on this deviation for restricting switched containing mercury- When
a country as Sweden did in 1995 becomes a member of the EU does anyone know if
the A deviations cited in EN60950 was relaxed or removed?
re: Annex ZC, A-Deviations, in EN 60950
I saw a CPS to Hz conversion chart in a military (AF) test report back in the
70s.
The 'X' axis (CPS) was decimal and the 'Y' axis (Hz) was Log.
It provided an interesting conversion curve. It even had a formula to do the
conversion long hand.
We need more of this type of aids today =;
From a previous life where we tried to build computer boxes using plastic,
it was;
CPS = Cheap Plastic S... sometimes referred to as case hardened latex.

According to IEEE's standard dictionary of Electrical and Electronics Terms,
there are two meanings for k (lower case) and two for K (upper case):
K: cathode (vacuum tube)
K: kelvin
k: kilo
k: Bolzmann's constant
Note: They do NOT list M (caps) as Mega, but do list m (lower
Gary,
as a European school kid, we had it driven into us that:
K is for the binary world, i.e. 1K=1024
k is the metric symbol for 1000
The trouble comes in when folks get sloppy and substitute willy nilly. Perhaps
we should measure current in volts...;-)))

When I was at school, we used fps Imperial units. Then
everything changed and we used cgs (centimetre, gram, second).
Then we changed again, to mks (metre,
