And they can offer single photon detection of longer wavelength photons than any photomultiplier tube can pick up. For some apllication this is vital.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson worked as an academic mathematician in the areas of geometry, matrix algebra and mathematical logic, none of which would appeal to John Larkin.
No, but it tends to get swamped by Miller capacitance.
My wife recently found an excuse to open some of our 2004 Gosset Polish Hill Riesling - last year she thought that the 2003 was better, but this year the 2004 does seem to come into its own.

Happily, it doesn't inspire either of us to recite poetry. If it did, this might be more appropriate than "Jabberwocky".
How can a wine critic know that the wine tastes of "glacial gravel, slate and shale"? Does he munch on rocks for reference?
I've seen a lot of "rock" references in wine criticism lately. "Hints of cherry and apricot mold" are passe. Wine snobs are like audiophools. Double-blind testing shows them as the delusional fatheads that they are.
There is a trend in California to buy tasty cheap wine. Makes sense to me.

The other trend is bars and restaurants that serve "draft" wine, right out of the barrel.
Early effect changes the base WIDTH, thus the current gain.

At modest currents, emitter dynamic resistance Re is inverse on current, actually about 25 ohms divided by emitter current in mA. So the corner frequency of Re * Cl changes with load. I don't know how the Early feedthrough changes with load current.
Capacitor ESR also forms a voltage divider with Re, so yet more ripple blasts through as Re goes down at higher currents.
The nice thing about PIN photodiodes is that there's a first-principles relationship between the DC and noise currents. That's a great calibration principle for instruments.
I have about 100 InGaAs APD/preamp modules that I got for about 75 cents each--probably 0.5 cents on the dollar.

Max Coltheart is a professor of cognitive psychology who has a long- running experiemnt in which he gives a talk about wines and wine tastng to academic audiences - including a variety of this kind of wine-tasting terminology - tests his audience's performance as wine tasters and records the results. He hasn't published it yet - and I took part in one such experiment nearly thirty years ago. Informally, I've heard from him that some phrases are more useful than others, but the communication is not all that analytical

Wine-tasters are anything but fat-headed, but their language is imprecise, if evocative.
It would. You aren't great of acquiring background knowledge.
Modern wines are often made to be instantly drinkable. This doesn't mean that they can't get better with age, but many don't. If the wine- maker has a gas-chromatograph - ideally with a tandem mass- spectrometer as a detector - they can have a very clear idea of what their wine tastes and smells like, and the good ones know how to create an attractive mixture of sensations, and have a pretty good idea of how that mixture will change and develop with time,
It an art, and there are some great artist out there. Wolfgang Blass in Australia was an early pioneer of this approach, and while he isn't a great artist, I've drunk some very pleasant wines sold under his name.
Yup, It's all making sense. A few years ago a made a bunch of RC lowpasses and measured ESR's. I came to the conclusion that you couldn't expect anything much lower than 0.1 ohms. But I didn't try any really big Al electro's (>100's uF)
Yeah, Lafe Spietz does shot noise thermometry with tunnel junction diodes. I've got an idea for a similar circuit trick that will, balance shot noise and johnson noise to measure temperature... The shot noise gives you the circuit gain and bandwidth, which then drop out in a ratio.... looks good on paper but I still have to try it. (You run the same DC current from the shot noise through the resistor that gives you the johnson noise and it's DC voltage is then the thermal voltage. (or maybe two times it.)
The 120 uF polymer aluminums I'm using are 25 milliohms typ. I use one to LC filter the +15 from the wart, another at the c-mult output. Each takes about a quarter of a square inch of PCB surface, not too bad.
