Finding lost cities isn’t exactly my idea of fun, but I don’t mind playing Neo Game scratchcards based on lost city themes. Called Atlantis, this scratchcard treats you to attractive marine imagery and encourages you to get into thrilling adventures and go in search of gold and wealth. The game has 5 reels and 9 paylines, a top jackpot of £100,000, and plenty of fun. I enjoyed spinning the reels in a colorful marine backdrop, adorned with brilliant ocean vegetation and ocean blue colors. The color scheme is soothing to the senses, and even if you don’t win prizes, you will quit the game feeling relaxed and happy.
The game icons feature real as well as mythological marine creatures, and I came across seahorses and starfish, mermaids, and even the sea god Neptune. While playing this slot scratchcard, I happened to win a prize and was immediately treated to the sight of a dancing dolphin - something that I won’t forget in a hurry. The game has some amazing marine imagery, topnotch sound effects, and soothing background music. I played the game longer than I thought I would simply because I wanted to hear some more of the bubbly ocean sound. Anyway, if you find the sound effects to be too distracting, you can always turn them off.
Atlantis slots scratchcard game’s Main Feature – Attractive marine theme, great ocean imagery, and generous payout structure What’s more, the game has scatters and wilds that can help you get better payouts. Neptune is the scatter, and he can help you win as much as 32 times your initial bet amount. The wild icon is the shark, which can help you create winning combinations by assuming the value of other icons across the reels. Since the shark is also the multiplier, you will win double the usual winnings whenever the shark features in your winning combination.
Playing the game is as simple as following these steps.
• Wager on the game using the – and + signs near the Bet button.
• Now set the reels spinning by hitting the Spin button.
• Create a winning combination and grab the prize.
So, you see, you don’t really have to find Atlantis to win that top jackpot; you only have to get the correct combination of sea creatures. Spin the reels, enjoy the bright graphics and sound effects, and grab any prize that comes your way.

A Tauranga man has warmed the hearts of Kiwis after posting a video of himself serenading and dancing with a pet deer, which has since gone viral on social media.
The deer grew to love her new family and became so comfortable living among people she has learnt to dance and perform tricks.
"She basically started walking herself. When you back up and hunch down she automatically jumps on like she would another deer. So when I start slowly walking away she follows on two legs!
After filming the deer walking on two legs, he decided to serenade her with an Ed Sheeran classic in the hope she'd join him for a dance as well.
"Once I did the walking one I thought, (I) wonder if she'll dance ... thought I'd give it a go, and I just picked her up and we had a nice old dance. She didn't seem to mind."
In the video Brears belts out Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran and during the dance Judo reaches in to give him a kiss of appreciation.
"I tried to think of a dancing song and all I could think of was Ed Sheeran. Now I'm thinking of taking this act on the road," he joked.
While Brears jokes that he's set to take Judo on a tour around the country, he says she's been a loving pet for his friend's family.
"She's such a friendly pet. She's really safe around the kids. The kids will play with her and she interacts really well and is quite gentle."

And What do We do…?
I’m a minimalist kind of girl when it comes to my bookshelves. I devour a novel, and then, unless it’s steeped in positive affirmations which I am unable to commit to memory the first time round, off it goes to the charity shop – or my mum’s ever-growing bedside To Be Read pile.
There are just too many books out there to read and I don’t live in a library!
And then along came the fabulous initiative that is The Book Fairies. The project set up by Cordelia Oxley, has grown from strength to strength this year with more than 100 countries involved – each recognised as its own mini Book Fairy enterprise across the various social media platforms. Collectively, Book Fairies sticker and ribbon up books, hide them in imaginative places and then leave them for the next person to enjoy… in the hope that they will do the same, that the ripple effect will morph into a Mexican wave of bookish fun.
I mean think about it: wouldn’t it just feel like fate if you ‘happened upon’ a copy of The Celestine Prophecy in a cocktail bar… or perhaps one of The Handmaid’s Tales dotted around Parisian landmarks by Emma Watson (oh yes, Emma is involved as well!)… or a fresh new voice in fiction (no… I’m not referring to my debut novel, honest) that’s waiting for you on a park bench.
When we are ‘gifted’ with a book, we are far more likely to read it, then to feel inspired and ‘goosebumpy’ enough to do the same and pay the kindness forward by passing the book on to the next person – or hiding it with a flutter of our own fairy wings. In a world full of negativity, it’s a simple way to keep the embers of positivity burning. It’s also a fabulous way to encourage literacy, among children and adults alike.
And so, once I had run out of titles to recycle from my own shelves, I headed to said charity shop… and they even offered to pay me for taking the books off them! Of course, I declined, because that kind of defeats the object. But I did walk away with a huge stash of books to give a new life to, for just a couple of Euros. And that felt really good!
But the best thing of all has been getting my children (and our visitors involved). We have had, and continue to have, an absolute barrel of laughs along the way, thinking up funny/slightly crazy/interesting and obscure ‘hiding’ places for our book drops. And then it’s always an added bonus when you get chased down the street because people think you have accidentally left something behind… as well as watching crafty kids pilfer green ribbons for their hair… as well as wondering if you can get away without somebody spotting you.
I can’t deny that as an author myself (an author whose debut novel, ‘Oh! What a Pavlova’ launches this October!), I am not drawn to a few Book Fairy drops for my own PR purposes. Of course I am… I might live in Spain, but my family live close to Glastonbury, the town where much of my book is set. Oh, the fun and games they are going to have dropping books on Glastonbury Tor and all the other tourist hot spots for me!
More than that though, being a Book Fairy is turning into a way of life. We go out somewhere – as mundane as the supermarket, as exciting as a party, we take a book with us, we brighten up somebody’s day, we have a giggle and we help another writer escape from those dusty bookshelves of the charity shop.

NEW “I Am Cait” promo out!
Just a few days ago a new promo for “I am Cait” was released. The newest promo reveals why Caitlyn agreed to do her own docu-series and that fans can be expecting to see Caitlyn go shopping for the first time, wearing beautiful dresses and interacting with her children.
I’m very excited for the show to air July 27th on E!.
Check out the first promo here!
This weekend during Balmain’s menswear spring 2016 show in Paris momager Kris Jenner recycled pop singer Justin Bieber’s Balmain black velvet jacket embroidered with golden dragons. Back at The met Gala 2015 Justin Bieber wore the exact same jacket. The jacket fit’s Kris Jenner perfectly and she looks stunning. I also loved the spectacular Balmain jacket on 21 year old Justin Bieber – he looks like a fashionable badass!
Pictures from the Red carpet at The 2015 Met Gala here.
Both Kris and Bieber are friends with the brand’s famed creative director, Olivier Rousteing which might be why two so different personalities are wearing the same jacket.
This is not the first time Balmain let celebrities walk down in the same dress see here.
The question is who wore it better? Kris Jenner or Justin Bieber?
We walked up and down the beach promenade for hours watching all the street artists, skaters, people performing on roller blades and we also watched Red play a basketball game (VBL summer league). It was super hot by the beach today even though the weather forecast said it would be overcast and chilly. After having lunch we talked to some former gang members who where in rehab by the beach. They were all tatted from head to toe and one of them have been in and out of prison the last 33 years but finally made a choice to change his life and become sober. It was very interesting to talk to them.
Do you want more funny memes? Check out my favorite memes of last week.
My partner in crime Ida’s family is visiting Los Angeles so of course we had to take them to one of our favorite spots BoA Steakhouse on Sunset blvd. Boa is a modern steakhouse with an upbeat vibe and a sure place to spot celebrities. Paparazzi’s are always waiting outside by the valet. Since this weekend is BET weekend (an award show celebrating urban entertainment) Boa was packed.
It was such a fun time and the food is delicious as always. I highly recommend starting with their famous cesar salat which they make from scratch by your table – quite a performance.

SHANGHAI • Only four of 28 northern Chinese cities met their air quality targets in October, official data showed yesterday, raising questions about the country's ability to reduce the smog that typically develops during the winter.
The 28 cities in and around the smog-prone Beijing-Hebei-Tianjin region were ordered in August to draw up plans to thin traffic and reduce industrial activity from October this year to March next year, part of efforts to slash concentrations of hazardous airborne particulate matter that is less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) by at least 15 per cent year-on-year.
But the Ministry of Environmental Protection said only the capital Beijing, Baoding and Shijiazhuang in neighbouring Hebei province, as well as Anyang in Henan province, actually met their targets for last month.
"According to forecasts, overall winter weather conditions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will not be favourable, with the ability to disperse atmospheric pollution relatively weak, making the targets even more difficult to achieve," the ministry said in a bulletin published on its website.
Beijing is aiming to cut PM2.5 by as much as 25 per cent over the winter months as it strives to meet a target to bring concentrations down to less than 60 micrograms per cubic metre for the whole of 2017.
Beijing's PM2.5 fell to an average of 57mcg last month.
The average across the 28 cities stood at 61mcg, still higher than China's official standard of 35mcg and the World Health Organisation recommendation of no higher than 10mcg.
Of the total, 17 cities saw PM2.5 concentrations fall last month, including the municipality of Tianjin and the major steel producing city of Tangshan. The city of Jincheng in Shanxi province was the worst performer, with average emissions rising 139.1 per cent compared with a year earlier. It has targeted a cut of 10 per cent this winter.
Cities in Shanxi have promised to reduce PM2.5 by as much as 50 per cent over the winter months, and the provincial government has also said it will hold senior municipal officials fully accountable for failing to meet the targets.

The third part of the Regal Worm trilogy, Pig Views, hit the streets on July 13, 2018. For this installment Jarrod Gosling used a more song-based format and delivers nine songs, with two bonus songs on the pink vinyl double LP version. There are a number of strangely named songs such as “Rose Rubus Simlax Vulcan,” “Revealed as a True Future Tyrant,” “Rose Parkington They Would Not Let You Leave,” “Jag Vet,” “The Dreaded Lurg,” “Huge Machine You Are So Heavy,” and the bonus track “The Evil Eye Is Liquified.” All eleven songs feature Mellotron either in the background or as lead. The longer songs allow Jarrod to explore heavy psychedelic grooves, tempo changes, and mood shifts, with a mixture of bluesy jazz and Canterbury sound. I’m not clear how the album title Pig Views relates to the music, but the engaging songs take you on a variety of musical journeys. Chanted song titles, sounds of children playing, tasty sax riffing, female vocal harmonies, mournful organ, scratchy 78 rpm effects, poetic narrations, and reversed tapes enhance the songs. Some of the high points for me are the 15 minute song “The Dreaded Lurg,” with its shifting moods; the short 59 seconds of “Butterfly” with its vintage 20s jitterbug, poetic narration, and 78 rpm vibe; and the introspective “Huge Machine You Are So Heavy.” Quite a nice album with the bonus tracks engineered by the legendary Sean Magee (Rush, Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc.).
Surely every progressive rock fan in the world has been paying attention to Regal Worm by now. If they aren’t, it’s time to start. Pig Views continues the amazing run of Jarrod Gosling producing unpredictable, complex music that draws from classic progressive rock but sounds neither deviravative nor stuffy. He has a way of bringing together some of the best aspects of 70s music in a fresh way that is both instantly engaging and worthy of repeated listening. Although the arrangements overall are dominated by keyboards, the album’s first track, “Rose Rubus Smilax Vulcan,” starts out with a delicate acoustic guitar part and a lovely vocal melody that works into a surprising section featuring Latin (or pseudo-Latin) chanting kind of like Orff’s Carmina Burana crossed with the chanting section of “The Ancient” off of Tales from Topographic Oceans. Every track features its own unique qualities, like the harp in “Rose Parkington They Would Not Let You Leave” or the double-Mellotron melody (flute and strings) at the beginning of “Pre-Columbian Worry Song.” Pig Views features only one multi-part epic track, “The Dreaded Lurg,” which covers many moods and sounds over a bit less than 15 minutes. In the midst of all of the vintage keyboards, saxophones features prominently in several tracks, providing both chordal punctuation and lead lines. Sometimes keyboard-heavy arrangements can sound lightweight, with less sonic impact than music with more prominent guitar, but Gosling manages to give his instruments real heft, partly by density (such as the doubled Mellotron parts I mentioned), and partly bringing in other sounds like the saxes and the occasional guitar. In addition, the bass guitar is often presented high in the mix with a gritty tone. The production is also an important factor, imparting the illusion of a full band playing rather than one musician doing the majority and only a few guests. When it comes to progressive rock in 2018, one of the finest bands going isn’t even really a band, but from listening you might not know that, and it doesn’t matter when the result is this good.

An official partner of Panasonic, Sango Metal Industrial Co., Ltd. is a leading provider of precision welding services. Their expertise lies in laser welding of materials as thin as 0.2mm, such as terminals on lithium batteries. They currently hold 38% of the global share in this industry. Recently, they installed 2 new equipment to their arsenal, the fiber laser oscillator, which makes it possible to seam weld copper and other hard-to-weld materials, and the galvanometer scanner, which boasts a faster laser traveling speed for higher production efficiency. With these innovative technologies at their disposal, they are now focusing their efforts on fuel cells for cars and medical devices, both of which are fields where rapid miniaturization is occurring.
An official partner of Panasonic, Sango Metal Industrial Co., Ltd. is a leading provider of precision welding services. Their expertise lies in laser welding of materials as thin as 0.2mm, such as terminals on lithium batteries. They currently hold 38% of the global share in this industry. Recently, they brought in 2 new equipment to their arsenal, the fiber laser oscillator, which makes it possible to seam weld copper and other hard-to-weld materials, and the galvanometer scanner, which boasts a faster laser traveling speed for higher production efficiency. With these innovative technologies at their disposal, they are now focusing their efforts on fuel cells for cars and medical devices, both of which are fields where rapid miniaturization is occurring. We sat down with the leader of the Research & Development team, Mr. Koji Hiranaga, and asked about why they decided to renovate their entrance of the company building, and added a new business meeting room.
Sango Metal Industrial acquired and installed a new type of fiber laser oscillator in February 2014. The most significant benefit of this move is that it made possible the welding of different materials, and challenging materials that made for too tough of a procedure of YAG lasers. The most notable benefit of implementing this new system is that the company is now able to weld different types of challenging materials together that were too difficult for standard procedure YAG lasers.
Even though copper and aluminum are materials that aren’t suited for laser welding, they are required in the construction of electric vehicles. “Copper is used a lot in manufacturing parts for things like busbar. There is definitely a notable rise in the demand for technology that can be used to weld challenging materials, as we see this first hand through client inquiries. We were searching for equipment that will allow us to utilize our knowhow in thin sheet welding and battery welding using YAG lasers, while making it possible to weld copper and other challenging materials. Out of the many possible solutions, we chose the fiber laser oscillator because it offered to switch between pulse and CW, and had a pulse peak output of 3 kilowatts.” After adding this new technology to their arsenal, Sango Metal Industrial is ready to face new challenges and expand to new global markets.
Both fiber laser and YAG laser welding are methods of laser welding. However, fiber laser welding offers a deeper and sharper approach to connecting the materials together, and also allows laser engraving. Steam welding is a process that fiber laser can accomplish that YAG laser welding cannot. ” YAG laser welding is the process of welding points together, and is known as spot welding. Fiber laser welding allows for us to weld in lines, and we are now able to respond to broader ranges of customer needs.” Currently the company is focusing their efforts on original developments, research, and studies in order to collect data on the differences between YAG and fiber laser, as well as special characteristics of fiber lasers.
“Even on the internet and within specialized industry circles, information on fiber laser technology is very scarce. *However, we are the professionals in laser welding. We constantly look 2 years into the future, and while combining original research and development; and collaborations with industry, government, and educational institutions; we plan on increasing our precision and quality.
Along with the fiber laser oscillator, the company also decided to install a galvanometer scanner.
“Conventionally, we would control the landing point of the laser beams by moving either the launching system itself or the base that it was mounted on. However, the galvanometer scanner has a mirror installed on the scanning line, so the landing point of the beam is moved by moving the mirrors.” The use of the galvanometer scanner contributed to a major increase in production efficiency.
Sango Metal Industrial produces many small parts, *(include examples of parts and uses) and since many units of the same product are placed onto one piece of material in production, the distance between the welding points becomes longer. The galvanometer scanner is a crucial device in allowing the fiber laser oscillator to utilize its full potential.
“Both the fiber laser oscillator and the galvanometer scanner are expensive pieces of equipment, and at this point there aren’t many businesses that have implemented their capabilities. We see this as a challenge, as well as our way of investing in new technology to bring value to our customers.
Sango Metal Industrial has taken on new challenges by broadening their capabilities through incorporating fiber laser technology into their arsenal. This is the result of a strategy that was formulated by analyzing the current trends surrounding laser welding through gathering information at trade shows.
“When project leaders of new designs and developments are aiming towards true innovation; that is when we truly shine.
Sango Metal Industrial Co., Ltd., situated in the city of Moriguchi in Osaka Prefecture, the home base of Panasonic Corporation, is an expert provider of laser welding, resistance welding, and other precision welds. As an official partner of Panasonic, Sango Metal Industrial has nearly 30 years of experience in laser welding processes for lithium battery terminals. We spoke with President and CEO Takahito Kojima about Sango Metal Industrial’s precision welding technologies and mass production technologies, global developments, and more.
Sango Metal Industrial began its laser welding efforts in the 1980s with the startup of their lithium battery business by Matsushita Battery Industries (the present Panasonic’s Automotive and Industrial Systems Company).
Panasonic still boasts the top share in the lithium battery market, and Sango Metal Industrial is responsible for the majority of the terminal welding for those batteries.
The strongest advantages of Sango Metal Industrial’s laser welding can be roughly divided into two factors. The first is microscopic precision work, and the second is the high-quality output in mass production.
Sango Metal Industrial’s other advantage of their high-quality output in mass production is what puts them ahead of the competition.
Kojima spoke of the company’s mass production processes as a source for their wealth of knowledge. Even if competitors introduce the same machines that Sango Metal Industrial uses, the same level of output and quality cannot be so easily achieved.
They also have a commanding production management system, able to handle variable production of many products in addition to its low and high volume productions.
To prove this statement, we have found that their defect rate is actually extremely low. With a process capability of over Cpk1.33, and a defect rate of below 200ppm, what sets the company apart from its competitors?
In 2012, Sango Metal Industrial founded a local corporation, PT. KOJIMA LASER INDONESIA, in order to create a plant in Indonesia. There are two reasons for their international approach here.
Of course, their expansion into the international scene is with sufficient plans of success.
With the trend of compact and light-weight vehicles throughout the world, the minimization of various parts is on the rise. With this trend, the number of clients who come to discuss their situation has increased as well.
In order to respond to this new demand, Sango Metal Industrial has expanded and enriched its department for research and development.
* See Indexrights Vol. 2 for detailed information on the specs of this newly incorporated equipment.
Sango Metal Industrial continues to increase their approach to automotive parts in addition to lithium batteries. While the proportion of their business that involves secondary fabrication for lithium batteries is at main, Mr. Kojima believes that their focus will change in the near future.
Sango Metal Industrial is going to keep strengthening their operations in these two fields, as well as set their sights on new fields.
“We already have made multiple achievements working with electronic components and medical equipment, so we’re planning on delving even deeper within those fields. Inquiries are increasing for both spot welding and seam welding, and we are planning on implementing new equipment in lieu as well. Seam welding is considered difficult even with machines, but we are determined to take hold of this chance to achieve technology that goes above and beyond, and to take on the challenge of becoming the best in the game, rather than being satisfied as the only player in the field.” * See Indexrights Vol. 2 for detailed information on the specs of this new equipment.

The AdvDCSMT1DCSS (T1) system tool/software program provides key Digital Communication (Comm) System and Subsystem models and algorithms that can be used to study, evaluate, or possibly design certain Convolutional Channel Codes and Viterbi Algorithm-based, 'Symbol-by-Symbol' MAP Algorithm-based, or Turbo (Iterative) Algorithm-based Channel Decoders.
Further, certain types of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Codes and associated Sum-Product or Bit Flipping Channel Decoders can be designed, studied, or evaluated by the use of T1.
This tool can be used by a Coding or Information Theorist to focus on developing implementable or practical Coder-Decoder devices that might improve the Reliability of a Digital Communication System.
Note: T1 is a Digital Communication SYSTEM SIMULATOR whose implementation is at the level of a PRODUCT PROTOTYPE. Its intended goal/purpose/design is to simulate reliably a variety of Digital Communication systems of varying complexity as described below. Its Capability(Operational Performance) is dependent on many complex interacting factors that involve the User's PC/Computer System components itself. The User must be cognizant of the limits of the User's Computer System.
For a Turbo Channel Code System, the Simulation Time is dependent on the Turbo Encoder Interleaver Type and Size; and the Turbo (Iterative) Algorithm Channel Decoder's component decoders' Trellis Size and the Number of Iterations performed by the Turbo Decoder along with the above described Source and Channel characteristics.
Thus, the Simulation Time is User and PC System dependent and can be quite long (possibly days). It is very important to realize that the Upper Bound or Maximum (MAX) Value of a Simulated System Parameters is set to allow for Users to experiment with their Simulated System Choices (build and simulate)for their PC System.
10) Binary Information Source, Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Coding & Memory Channel.
For the Block Coding Cases (4, 5 and 6), Turbo Coding Cases (7 and 8), or Low-Density Parity-Check Code Cases (9 and 10), T1 has only one configuration.
3) Recursive Systematic CC & Additive White Gaussian Gaussian Noise Memoryless Channel.
T1 is capable of retrieving and displaying a Past Results and Statistics Output File so that the User can access easily one of the User's MOST RECENT generated such files (555 Maximum).
Note: Older such files are accessible using the File Menu 'Open" item.
Note: These Punctured Codes are used only for Memoryless Single Channel Signaling Systems.
Note: Parallel MultiChannel M-QAM Signaling uses only the Square constellation.
Note: SOVA CC Decoding is used only for BSC & AWGN Memoryless Single Channel Signaling Systems. This two-stage SOVA decoder is an example of a Compound Channel and a Soft-Input Viterbi Algorithm Decoder (2nd Stage).
Not based on Trellis States (i.i.d. & Markov Sources) and Based on Trellis States (i.i.d. Sources).
ML (Maximum Likelihood) Syndrome Channel Decoders.
Frame Error Rate (FER) Estimate for Low-Density Parity-Check Coded Signaling.
In addition, this feature allows the User to create a Gallager (Regular or Irregular), Array, or Repeat-Accumulate (Regular or Irregular) Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) Code and store its corresponding parameters (Parity-Check Matrix H, etc.) in a User-named Data file ('.txt').
This Parity-Check Matrix H is an "one-origin" 2-D array whose indices of non-zero matrix elements are stored in a "zero-origin" 2-D array in this Data File. These indices are offset by one.
A User-named '.txt' file is created to contain the output validity data. This output file is accessible via the File 'Open' choice.
This feature allows the User to validate a Gallager or Array LDPC Code's Parity-Check Matrix H before it is used in the LDPC Coded Signaling Simulation. A Gallager or Array code is selected via the User's Custom LDPC Code List whereby its Matrix A is converted into a Parity-Check Matrix H that can be used in a Parity-Check Matrix H Encoder. This Matrix H parameter (along with other parameters) is stored in a User-named Data File ('.txt').
This Parity-Check Matrix H is an "one-origin" 2-D array whose indices of non-zero matrix elements are stored in a "zero-origin" 2-D array in this Data File. These indices are not offset.
Also, a User-named '.txt' file is created to contain the output validity data. This output file is accessible via the File 'Open' choice.
Also, the User can verify the correction operation of the Iterative Turbo Channel Decoder for an Equiprobable i.i.d. Binary Information Source, a Rate = 1/2, K = 2 RSC Code [Generators G0 (feedback polynomial) = 1 + D; & G1 = 1] and a Binary Modulated AWGN Memoryless Channel Output Vector R Sequence. The 'ResultsmaxlmapITCcdecodervalidation.txt' file is created for the Max-Log-MAP case to contain the output validity data ('ResultslmapITCcdecodervalidation.txt' for the Log-MAP case). These output files are accessible via the File 'Open' choice.
This feature allows the User to choose one of two possible Turbo Decoder Path Metric (PM) Growth Normalization methods or allows the User to observe the current PM Growth Normalization method for the Serial Turbo Decoder (Single Iteration) or Serial with Feedback Turbo Decoder (Iterative). The normalization of the Turbo Decoder (Forward Processor 1 & 2 and Backward Processor 1 & 2) Path Metrics is based upon subtraction of a term from all of the trellis state PMs at each trellis depth. This term is determined using the set of a depth's active state PMs and the Logarithm of Sum-of-Exponentials [exp(PM)] or the PM Maximum.
This feature allows the User to verify the Peak Baseband Channel Symbol SNR for an Information Bit Baseband SNR, Eb/N0 and its derived Average Channel Symbol Baseband SNR, Es/N0 for a selected M-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Scheme for a UnCoded Signaling System. The Gray Code Penalty and Peak Gray Penalty is also determined for this selected M-QAM scheme and its associated Bit-Symbol Mapping. A User-named '.txt' file is created to contain the output validity data. This output file is accessible via the File 'Open' choice. A User-named plot output file (.PLT-MQAMSV) is accessible via the File 'Open' choice.
This feature allows the User to generate a Bit Error Rate (BER) or Bit Error Probability (Pb) versus Information Bit Baseband SNR, EbN0 in dB Plot. A BER plot can consist of one (1) to six (6) curves where a curve can consist of three (3) to sixteen (16) data points. A User-name plot output file (.PLT-BER) is accessible via the File 'Open' choice.
