Best Laser Pointer For Your Presentation

Laser pointers are very useful during presentations, allowing the speaker to point important areas on the display screen from across the room. Red laser pointers are the most common type and use a lower powered light, normally a 650nm wavelength. You can get a common red laser pointer for less than $20 today. Green laser pointers have recently become more popular and are powered by a more powerful laser (usually a 532nm wavelength), making them much more visible that red lasers. Some green laser pointers are more than 50 times more powerful than the red ones, and can even burn paper and cast a visible beam even in a lighted room. The low-end green laser pointers start at about $50 and can go up to several hundred dollars for a more high powered one. We use Green laser pointer on our presentation and they work great they are brighter than the Red lasers and are easier to follow on the screen.

Now since Green lasers are more powerful than the Red one, it is important to keep in mind that people have been arrested for pointing them at planes, at people at sporting events, and at or around law enforcement officers. So use them wisely – laser pointers ARE NOT toys and should not be used in away to cause damage to people or property.

Reducing Microphone Hum

Today i want to share a few tips on how to reduce microphone hum. Since Microphones and microphone cables are espefially sensitive to hum picpup because of the great amplification needed for microphone level signals (few millivolts). The hummign can be caused to microphone signals because of ground loops and because of induced noise. Here are some tips to minimize microphone hum pickup:

* Use low impedance microphones (150-6000 ohms). All modern recording equipments and mixers are designed to work with low impedance microphones.
* Use microphones with balanced outputs (three pin XLR connectors). Thus kind of microphones pick up less hum than unbalanced microphones.
* Routinely check microphone cables to make sure that the shield is connected at both ends.
* Check that the screw near the XLR connector on the microphone is securely screwed in place inside microphone handle.
* Do not connect the ground on XLR connectors to the shell of the connector, because ground loop hum may occur if a grounded shell touches a metallic surface.
* Do not ground microphone juction boxes or snake boxes except through the cable shield.
* DO NOT PLACE MICROPHONE NEAR METALS…. i learned this the hard way, trust me.

World’s Fastest Book Scanner

Well, this post is more on the Techy side but very interesting. A researcher at the University of Tokyo has developed the world’s fastest book scanner, which uses a “book flipping scanning” method “that does exactly what it sounds like, digitizing 200 pages per minute.” Now imagine having your entire case file scanned in less than half the time of what it would normally take. Pricing and availability has not yet been announced.

Introduction by Edgar

Hi, my name is Edgar Hernandez and I have been in Trial for the last 2 weeks but now I’m back for my first post. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and tell a little about me and where I come from.

I’ve been working in the Trial Technology field for about 10 years now and I’ve had the privilege to work all over the Country with many great attorneys. I’m really looking forward in sharing my experiences and inside tips in this field. I’m always interested in listening to other people’s thoughts about technology and how to use it effectively in the courtroom.
