Triacs (2) Sensing The Data

TRIACS (2)



 SENSING THE DATA




ENT: BEN BROACHES HOUSE-LAB-WEDNESDAY-10 A.M.


HIS WIFE CLAIR IS CHARTING AND GRAPHING BEN'S SET-UP PERIMETERS

BEN IS BUSILY REPLACING MELTED PARTS ON FREQUENCY MULTI-MIXER


BEN

"You know Honey, I've been thinking..."


CLAIRE

"You do enough thinking for a good portion of the western culture, what bit of intuition are you insisting on now?"


BEN

"No, nothing extravagant, just a bigger place to work, what do you think?"


CLAIRE

"You know we've been through this before...we could use the staff facilities at USC or we could maybe contract with Siemens, but we simply don't have the budget to be packing up and moving somewhere, it's just not going to work!"


BEN

"I was thinking about a trailer, you know...one of those commercial things, we could just stick it in the back yard." 


CLAIRE

"Your not sticking a commercial trailer in our back yard, I Love my little view, my roses, my patio...I have enough trouble with those darn d.c. transformers on the side of the house...humming all day and night!"


BEN

"Just a thought...but your probably right, if I had too much room..."


CLAIRE

"You know how you are Ben, if one has too much room, they tend to grow into it, it's inevitable, just keep one project, maybe two tops going at a time...otherwise it gets too cluttered, not to mention dangerous!"


BEN

"How's the data collection coming along anyway?"


CLAIRE

"Well some of it is not graphing correctly, like the sensors weren't calibrated correctly, it's either that or I'm simply losing my mind here..."


BEN

"Nothing new there my sweet...I Love it when you lose your mind, makes me look better!"


CLAIRE

"Anything to help Dear...now I just ran these through the compiler, and the second and third harmonics are showing a real destabilization right before you brought the mid-band up, what's going on here?"


BEN

"May I also remind you that there was no filtering, so side bands were present also...might I add that it was your idea to bring the mid up in the first place...leaving us with that pretty hole in the back wall!"


CLAIRE

"I'm just too good to you, hope some of that Love spreads back to me?"


BEN

"Oh, it will...I was thinking about that trip."


CLAIRE

"Which one Sweetheart, you've mentioned so many?"


BEN

"Does Saint John's ring a bell?"


CLAIRE

"Oh Dear, that would be fantastic...like what decade might this be happening?"


BEN

"Right after we complete this study and the funding gets reimbursed, sound good?"

CLAIRE STARTS DOUBLE TIMING HER DATA GATHERING


CLAIRE

"Don't bother me now Dear, I've got data to collect.

(next day)

ENT: BEN BROACH'S HOUSE-HALLWAY-9 A.M.

CLAIRE AND BEN ARE LOOKING AT THEMSELVES IN THE HALL MIRROR

CLAIRE REACHING OVER AND REDOING BEN'S TIE


CLAIRE

"I swear, I'm going to just buy you clip-on's, your like fumble fingers when it comes to getting these things right!"


BEN

"And I'm getting you dresses with Velcro back fasteners, who ever's idea is was to put a back zipper on a dress..."


CLAIRE

"Personally, I think we look marvelous, what a fetching couple we make!"


BEN

"I agree, shall we board the ship?"


CLAIRE

"With all that gear you have hooked up on that Jeep, it does look a little shippish!"

(1 HOUR LATER

SHOWING UP AT USC'S SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, THEY MAKE THEY'RE WAY DOWN TO THE ADVANCED NUCLEAR STUDIES WING TO DOCTOR BILLING'S CONFERENCE ROOM

GOING INTO THE ROOM SCIENTIST, PROFESSORS, AND SEVERAL SPONSOR REPRESENTATIVES FROM SIEMENS ENCIRCLE THE LARGE TABLE


BEN

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my lovely wife Claire and myself I wish to thank you for our rather hurried status report, but we have achieved some major findings within our the context of our outlined experiments."


DOCTOR BILLINGS (DEPARTMENT CHAIR)

"Mister Broach, from our discussions...you seemed confirmed that you have located the three exact frequencies in the bands you had identified previously, if I recall...you were in the process of isolating the harmonics and you apparently achieved a great deal of success with your experiments, am I correct here?"


BEN

"By all means Doctor, through a lot of overly persistent fiddling, it figured itself out!"

LIGHT LAUGHTER AROUND TABLE 


CLAIRE

"As my husbands chief statistician, I was able to chart the results of our experiments...now if you will go to your tablets and put in your security passwords, you will see our site at Harmonic Test Review three-sixteen, this will show our test result and findings.

EVERYONE PUSHING IN THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION

AFTER ABOUT THREE MINUTES, EVERYONE STARTS TALKING AMONG THEMSELVES

BEN AND CLAIRE JUST SIT QUIETLY AS THEY STUDY THE RESULTS

FINALLY A SIEMENS SPONSOR STANDS UP TO ASK A QUESTION


DALE CLEVER

"Yes, this is Dale Clever with Siemens Investment Group, a what you have uncovered here, if this data is correct, could be of immense use the military community, assuming that certain guidelines are followed...do you have any doubts Doctor Broach?"


BEN

"Well, we have a large shotgun hole in the back of our house to prove it's authenticity..."


CLAIRE

"What he is trying to say, is that the gun went boom the moment we hit cyclical resonance!"

DIGNITARIES LAUGHING


BEN

"It was an extraordinary achievement which occurred quite unexpectedly, due to a little suggestion from my devoted wife Claire, who I owe all my thanks to!"


CLAIRE

"Oh Dear, I'm sure you would have found it eventually...that is until the equipment started melting down!

SUDDENLY ROOM GOES QUIET


DOCTOR BILLINGS

Ben, the equipment melted down...I wasn't informed of this...what says you?"


BEN

"Well, actually it was the connections between the waveguides, there was some leakage of R.F. and the level of refraction had occurred right before the resonant had stabilized and balanced out.


CLAIRE

"From what I could tell, the S.W.R., the standing waves were not balanced, and things were vibrating pretty briskly, if you want to call it that...and that's when I saw an off balanced spike on the mid band, the one forty-two point six megahertz lock precisely and..."


BEN

"And that's when she suggested increasing my amplitude and bingo...there it was!"


CLAIRE

"A hole in the back of our house...almost blew my Rose bushes away...we might have hit a Crow, but I can't verify that!"

EVERYBODY LAUGHING

"So, at this time I am requesting to the panel and our illustrious sponsors to consider a real time trial for packaging and field testing...the sooner we get these test into the proofing stage, the sooner you can get to the Beta phase, and ultimately to your marketing, and our success of another fine Siemens's engineering marvel!"

EVERYBODY APPLAUDING

DOCTOR BILLINGS APPROACHES BEN AND CLAIRE AND ESCORTS THEM OUT INTO HALLWAY

DOCTOR BILLINGS

"Ben, I don't mind telling you how much of a scare you put into me when you started talking about experiments melting and everything!"


CLAIRE

"Well, actually...it was my fault, but the original devices are being replaced, so we will have another prototype up and running in no time...sorry about that!"


DOCTOR BILLINGS

"No apology necessary, this little discovery of yours will be a great boost to the departments operating funding, as well as a great morality stimulate to our Phd. undergrades...once again Ben you didn't let me down...I just want to sincerely thank you for all your timely hard work...and to you to Claire...you guys are quite the team!"


BEN

"Well, thank you sir, I'm glad that we could come through for you and on behalf of your department here at USC, I was happy to be of service."


DOCTOR BILLINGS

"Oh Claire..."


CLAIRE

"Yes Doctor Billings?"


DOCTOR BILLINGS

"Wanted to thank you for helping Ben with his tie's, he just fumbles those things on when he comes in, but he's looking really dapper today, very neat...obviously a woman's touch there, thought for a while we'd have to get him some clip-on's!"


BEN

"That's just what Claire said before we left the house."


DOCTOR BILLINGS

"Practice my boy, practice I say...don't make poor Claire visit the Sear's Little boy section now!"


BEN

"Alright you two, I'll practice...but maybe Claire, you could buy me an emergency back-up?"


DOCTOR BILLINGS

"Good idea, just to be on the safe side!"

ALL THREE LAUGHING
