Thyratron/Ignitron/Spark Gap Drivers Electrical measurements and in particular high voltage measurements have been critical in developing technologies for the last 100 years. North Star HV Probes are designed to achieve unmatched accuracy whole providing wide bandwidth capability, rugged physical packages, and convenience. Apr 09, 2019 Drivers can generally tell the difference between a REAL ID and a standard license by a star marked in the upper portion of the card. The stars range from gold or black to star cutouts in gold. Apr 08, 2019 REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses have a star in the upper right corner. Note that five states (Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington) also issue an enhanced. A note about driver licenses: There's lots of restrictions when it comes to designing them due to a recently passed Act of Congress called Real ID. This act requires state IDs, or driver licenses, to have tons security features that they didn't have before - so if your license design has changed in the last few years, that's probably why.

In addition to new features, drivers can now renew licenses online instead of going to the DMV

Beginning later this summer, the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) will begin issuing a redesigned, more secure and durable type of driver license and ID card. NCDMV says that the new design helps prevent counterfeiting, reduces the risk of identity theft, decreases the potential for fraud and meets federally recommended security features.

Changes to the cards

All new NC driver licenses and ID cards will be coated in Teslin, a protective and waterproof synthetic material offering a more durable card that will not crack or fade. New security features include high-resolution graphics and laser-etched verbiage, as well as overlapping 'ghost images' in various colors.

Front laminate highlights on the new cards include images of the State seal, 'NC' and '1775', the year of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The new license can also indicate active military or veteran designations, as well as organ donor status.

Online Driver License Renewal announced

The state has begun implementing a testing phase for online renewal of driver licenses. This new service will allow customers to save time and complete driver license renewals at their convenience without having to visit a driver license office. Allowing customers to renew online will also help reduce wait times at DMV offices throughout the state. Senor driver.

When Will Online Driver License Renewal be available?

Renewing Your license online

Drivers North Star Design Flemington Nj

To renew online, drivers must verify their identity, confirm they live at the address on the license, and have no vision problems that would hinder their driving skills, and that all the statements being given are truthful. They also must have their current driver license number to complete the on-line form, and a VISA, MasterCard or Discover card to pay for the renewal. The new driver license will be mailed in 7-14 business days, and will be valid for 5 or 8 years, depending on the driver's age.

Who Can't Use the Online Driver License Renewal

Drivers North Star Designs

Customers can't use the online system to obtain their original driver license or ID card. It is also not available if a driver has a restriction other than corrective lenses on their license, is in the medical review program, is trying to renew a commercial driver license or a state ID card, or has an expired, suspended or revoked license. Those customers must still complete those processes at a DMV license office.

Though North Star Design doesn’t sound specifically southern, the firm does stem from near Pisa to make a good fit with German hifi importer Friends of Audio’s portfolio who specializes in Italian products – north Italian products in fact. With Mastersound amplification, Diapason speakers and Basso Continuo racks, there’d been a vacancy for source components. And digital converters happen to be a core competency for North Star. Their latest model is the Essensio Plus, an asynchronous USB DAC which makes it a hot sample in an even hotter component category. North Star has been around for about 12 years. Whoda thunk at the end of the 90s that digital-to-analog converters would experience a massive renaissance? Hifi extremists of that day swore by separate transport/DAC combos which obviously included a converter (North Star still maintains spinners in the present portfolio). Then there was the quaint notion that an aged CD player with digital output could be resurrected as a dedicated transport. I never completely bought into that scheme but never mind that. Who pimps out a CD player today?

Anything that spins is more likely to be a hard rather than silver disc. The second coming of the converters is thus simply due to the desire to extract the best sonics from computer sources. This segues neatly into the North Star Essensio Plus under review whose 30 x 17 x 7cm WxDxH dimensions don’t occupy the full rack width but do rather exceed the footprint of the popular Benchmark Media DAC1. The North Star offers six digital inputs of which 5 are S/PDIF—2 x coax, 3 x Toslink—and one is the already mentioned USB socket. Max data density is 24/192 for coax, 24/96 for optical, 32/192 for USB. The analog output occurs via RCA as XLRs remain reserved for the next-up model USBdac32. The business end rounds out with the power IEC and mains switch.

The fascia is equally orderly - a stand-by knob left, volume control right, in-between the display bracketed by six vertical LEDs on either side to confirm chosen input and sampling frequency. A push on the stand-by button and vampires and other night dwellers might need to reach for their sun glasses. Let’s simply say that nobody will complain about any illegible display here. Beneath the bright figure indicating volume lives a 6.3mm headphone socket. And that covers the essensios 'cept for black or silver trim, the latter also available Jeff Roland-style wavy. While I found that particularly attractive, the company reports that it sells the least. There’s simply no arguing with personal tastes.

The included metal remote controls the variable output voltage, mute and input switching. Attenuation occurs in the analog and digital domains. One first sets the max output to 1, 2 or 4 volts without invoking on-chip digital attenuation. This occurs by holding down the volume control button in stand-by for two seconds. This pulls up the necessary menu as a letter/number combo from which one selects by rotating the volume control. One can bypass attenuation altogether (D), set the main output to work solo (A) or with headphone socket (AH) whilst figures 0, 1 and 2 (not completely intuitive) select the desired output voltage. In this scheme AH2 has both outputs active at a max 4 volts. Should you question the rationale behind this convention, remember that the converter chip handles 0.5-step attenuation in the digital domain. This eventually incurs resolution decimation by about one bit for every 6dB.

That makes it advisable to set the max output voltage as low as practical relative to amplifier gain, room size and desired listening levels to minimize the amount of digital attenuation for fine adjustments. North Star of course adds that their 32-bit/192kHz data processing delays the onset of where digital volume digs audibly into resolving power. The basic upshot is, why run a 2V-out DAC when 0.6V are happily sufficient only to throw the rest away digitally? Though far from esoteric or complicated, this solution is quite trick. It harvests precision digital attenuation—North Star claims zero balance issues even at low levels plus a constant low output impedance to make amplifiers happy—whilst avoiding resolution decimation.

Since the Essensio Plus USB protocol works in async mode, a few explanations on the subject seem à propos. The most practical advantage of USB lies in the ‘U for universal’. It’s the most common most widely adopted and thus universally available computer interface fitted to pretty much all PCs and laptops extant. That said, it’s not a dedicated audio interface. It shares duties with printers, modems, backup devices, keyboards, mice and sundry office/work appliances. Hence audiophiles are concerned how to best make use of USB for their purposes.
