LifeLinks Teams with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Symposium on Etiology of Hearing Loss
(ContentDesk) November 18, 2005 -- On November 14, 2005, Lifelinks sign language interpreters signed the entire four hour conference on Genetic and Translational Research on Sensorineural Hearing Loss with speakers from Harvard, UCLA and the Albert Einstein Colleges of Medicine. LifeLinks interpreters kept pace with the highly scientific and technical terminology of this august symposium. Examples of the complexity of the medical terminology at the symposium were: An inductive signal was visible in the patterning of the ventral neural tube, anterior-posterior limb axis, and the ventral somites. Defects in the Dlx5 mutant capsule may be due to an aberrant epithelium which is not able to support chondrogenesis in surrounding mesenchyme. Despite the high level of medical terminology expertise, Lifelinks sign language interpreters were able to keep pace with the over 175 minutes of lectures followed by a question and answer period from the audience.In an unusual example of the interpreters becoming part of the experiment, Lifelinks voluntereed its interpreters, who are children of deaf parents and grandparents,and have deaf siblings, to participate in a genealogical and phenotypical study at Harvard Medical School under the auspices of one of the speakers, Cynthia Morton, Ph.D.The symposium will soon be available to deaf healthcare persons in sign language, and at no charge, on the Lifelinks website.LifeLinks is the largest and most advanced provider of on-demand sign language services over computer monitors.Its ease of installation (5 minutes) and ubiquitous access, wherever there is a computer,have facilitated its adoption by hospitals throughout the U.S..
Things to look for when buying car stereo speakers.
There are so may car stereo speakers on the market. How do you know what to choose? Let's take a look at some of the things you should look for when buying a car speaker.1. How is the speaker's power measured?Pay close attention to the amount of power the speaker can handle. This is particularly important when dealing with woofers, since they require more power to play loudly. Look out for models where the manufacturers exaggerate power.
Ensure that power is measures in RMS. Be very wary of terms like "music power" and "peak power". These terms mean nothing when it comes to measuring power.2. How sensitive is the speaker?The more sensitive a speaker is, the less power required to play it. If a speaker is insensitive it will require a lot more power to play at the same volume.
If you're using an amplifier you don't have much to worry about. But sensitivity becomes a bigger issue when you're using your head unit to power your speakers. Head units have less power so they require...

Why You Can't Do Without A Car Audio Crossover
I've heard the question asked many times before, 'Do I really need a crossover?' Without wasting any time I quickly answer, 'Yes you do'. Whether it's a passive crossover or an active crossover, your car audio system will never sound good without a crossover. I want to make myself very clear here, so before you get confused let's talk about what a car audio crossover is and why you need one.A crossover is a filtering device which limits the frequencies that reach a speaker. It splits a music signal into separate frequency ranges and sends them to speakers that are designed to best reproduce each frequency range. For instance, only high frequencies would be sent to your tweeters, midrange to your mid range speakers, and lows to your subwoofer.
The passive crossover is very common. It's basically a capacitor or coil installed on the speaker leads between amplifier and speaker that stops certain frequencies from reaching a speaker. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to install...

Choosing a Plasma TV
You've finally made up your mind to buy a plasma TV.
You dream of watching your favorite television shows in full stereo, with sharp, crisp picture resolution.
But how do you go about finding your dream TV?
Here are a few tips that will help you get started.
The first thing that you should do is to decide on the size of the television monitor you want.
Generally speaking, plasma TVs begin at around 32" and go as large as 63".
The most common screen sizes are usually 32", 42", 50" and 61".
So, measure the area where you want to place your TV to get an idea of which size would be most practical for you.
It's important to remember that most plasma TVs have detachable speakers, so you will need to allow for a few extra inches on either side of where the screen will be.
You may well have the option to buy extra slim speakers, which attach directly to the monitor, if you don't want to use your own or...
