Record High Frequency Achieved

eldavojohn writes "Researchers at UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science managed to push our control of frequencies to another level when they hit a submillimeter 324 gigahertz frequency. As any signal geek out there might tell you, this is a non-trivial task. 'With traditional 90-nanometer CMOS circuit approaches, it is virtually impossible to generate usable submillimeter signals with a frequency higher than about 190 GHz. That's because conventional oscillator circuits are nonlinear systems in which increases in frequency are accompanied by a corresponding loss in gain or efficiency and an increase in noise, making them unsuitable for practical applications.' The article also talks about the surprising applications this new technology may evolve into."

audio frequence research

While conventional oscillator circuits may be nonlinear systems, submicron research has been performed at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) and has focused on hemi-quazmatron acceleration under free radical assignment projection. While this sounds like a lot of bunk terminology, it is actually where the future lies for this field. The UCLA HSSEAS has often proven a valuable partner in this research, and has taken a slightly different approach this to research.

Regardless, pushing sub-millimeter frequency into the audio sphincter is always difficult because it runs counter to the way it should be. Simply put, things should be emitted FROM the sphincter, and not entered into it. However, when using sub-millimeter waves, the sphincter cannot contract. The scientific name for this is an 'audio rim jobe' -- after Dr. Heigh Liek ScrimJobes from the Netherlands.

Furthermore, research has shown that massaging the audio sphincter often causes it to relax. The only problem is that Dr ScrimJobes discovered the audio sphincter is in his pants, and that only women can massage it.
