Techniques For Dealing With Common-mode Interference
Common mode noise may be isolated from the desired signal by various means:
- Common mode noise may be sensed and fed back negatively into object providing the signals (see Driven Right Leg).
- Both signal and signal return may be applied to the primary of a transformer, with the signal taken from the secondary. As common mode interference will not cause current to be induced in the primary, no signal from this source will be seen in the secondary, while differential signals on the primary will cause current in the primary and so cause induced voltage in the secondary.
- A signal transformer may have a center tapped primary to ground, with the signal and signal return operating as a balanced line (push-pull technique). This is advantageous; its resistance to signals raised on ground due to ground loop induction and ground circuit resistance.
- The signal (line and return) may be used to drive the LED in an opto-isolator.

“It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“Just as soon as we notice that someone has to force himself to pay attention when dealing and talking with us, we have a valid demonstration that he does not love us or that he does not love us anymore.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Adolescent girls were fighting a mother’s interference because they wanted her to acknowledge their independence. Whatever resentment they had was not towards a mother’s excessive concern, or even excessive control, but towards her inability to see, and appreciate, their maturing identity.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
