Offered in mono and stereo versions, Elma Electronic's MV Series of stepped attenuators with built-in surface-mount resistors can be used to replace potentiometers in audio motor controls and other applications. Several new features have been added to enhance the performance of Azimuth Systems' ACE MX universal MIMO channel emulator, including a configuration that enables users to add a nonfading, reverse path internal to the ACE MX..

Work begins on cofferdam Jun 24, 2009
Wave attenuators that look like huge rafts made of massive logs brought in from Minnesota were placed in the lake along the length of the construction in an attempt to minimize wave action. According to the Merriam - Webster Dictionary, a cofferdam is a watertight enclosure from which water is pumped to expose the bottom of a body of water and permit construction.
