This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/264,652, filed Jun. 23, 1994, now abandoned.
This invention relates to dispatching elevator cars to respond to hall calls assigned thereto by a process involving fuzzy logic expressions of expected time for each car to respond to a call and the effect of such assignment on the response of cars to other calls.
The assignment of elevator car calls as soon as they are registered, so as to permit persons to queue in front of the hoistway door of the car which is expected to answer the call, and to provide reassurance to passengers, is typically made in response to predictions. In commonly owned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/812,189, filed Dec. 20, 1991, assignment of hall calls is based upon the car which is predicted to get there most quickly, unless it causes other calls to become "elderly" (or more so); the term "elderly" meaning that it has been predicted that the call would not be answered in a minute or less. The problem with the system of the aforementioned application is that even though a car could answer the call in question extremely quickly (for instance, in less than 10 seconds), if such assignment would cause the predicted response to any other call to advance from 59 to 60 seconds, or from 61 to 62 seconds, thereby either causing it to become elderly or more elderly, that car would not get the assignment; this is true even if all of the remaining assignments might take 40 or more seconds and would cause calls to have to wait 57 or 59 seconds. In such a circumstance, obviously the first car would be a better assignment than any of the others, but such an assignment would not be made. On the other hand, if thresholds are not used, then the fear of every building owner could occur, by allowing excessively long response time for some of the calls in order to permit excessively fast response time to others of the calls. Frequently, elevator performance requirements which are guaranteed by contract include that there be no more than a few (one or two) calls which take excessively long to be answered (a minute or so) in any given interval of time (such as one hour) during business hours. Therefore, thresholds have to be used, and the aforementioned results cannot be avoided.
Objects of the invention include elevator car dispatching employing hall call assignments which are reasonable both in terms of the predicted length of time to answer the call being assigned and the impact of such an assignment upon the predicted length of time to answer all of the other assigned hall calls in the building, and a hall call assignment system which can easily be tailored to suit the desired response characteristics of a given group of elevators, in terms of both the nature of traffic therein and the required passenger satisfaction.
According to the present invention, the predicted time for a car to respond to a potentially assigned hall call is converted into memberships in a plurality of fuzzy sets indicative of varying degrees of delay, and the predicted impact on all other assigned hall calls, if excessive, is also assigned membership in a plurality of fuzzy sets, each indicative of the degree to which the other calls are adversely affected, and the results are given suitable emphasis to permit selecting the best overall predicted response to determine the assignment.
According to the invention, the emphasis is effected by weighted combinations of car response time and affect on other calls; in one embodiment, this is achieved by the summation of products.
According to the invention still further, dispatching is improved by considering a car available to service hall calls unless it is delayed when other cars are not, or if it is fully loaded and has no opportunity to offload some passengers before reaching the call in question, unless other cars are not fully loaded, or should become not fully loaded before reaching the call in question.
The invention makes it possible to balance the predicted time to respond to the call in question with the predicted impact that such an assignment would have on the other calls. The invention is easily implemented utilizing apparatus and technology which are well within the skill of the art, in the light of the teachings which follow hereinafter.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent in the light of the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments thereof, as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a logic flow diagram of a car available routine according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a logic flow diagram of an assignment routine in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3 is a chart illustrating a plurality of fuzzy sets having degrees indicative of delay involved in the predicted response of an elevator to a call.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a plurality of fuzzy sets having degrees indicative of the extent to which assignment of a call to car will adversely affect the predicted waiting time of other assigned hall calls.
FIG. 5 is a table indicating exemplary emphasis weighting.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a car available routine may be part of an overall assignor routine of a type well known in the art in which hall calls are assigned in sequence, such as by first assigning calls in the up direction, floor by floor, and then assigning calls in the down direction, floor by floor. For each direction and floor, if there is hall call, each available car is given consideration for answering the call and then all of the cars are considered in determining to which car the call will be assigned. Within that structure, the car available routine of FIG. 1, followed by the assignment routine of FIG. 2, are reached for each call in turn.
In FIG. 1, the car available routine is reached through an entry point 11 and a first step 12 sets a car counter, C, to the number of the highest numbered car in the group. This counter keeps track of each car as each car is considered for assignment of the call. Then a test 13 determines if car C is in the group, or not. If not, a negative result of test 13 reaches a step 14 which resets the bit representing car C in a map of available cars. Then, a step 15 decrements the C counter and a test 16 determines if all the cars have been examined yet, or not. If not, the routine reverts to test 13 to see if the next lower car in turn is in the group. Assuming that it is, a test 19 determines if car C is delayed by virtue of its doors not closing, for some reason or another. If the car is delayed, a test 20 determines if all other cars in the group are also delayed. If the car is delayed and other cars are not delayed, a negative result of test 20 will reach the step 14 to cause this car to become unavailable. But if the car is not delayed or all cars are delayed, a test 21 determines if this car is fully loaded, as indicated by load weighing or other well known car load measurement devices. If not, a negative result of test 21 reaches a step 22 where the map of available cars has the bit set to indicate that car C is among the available cars. And then the step and test 15, 16 are reached so the program will again revert to the test 13.
On the other hand, if car C is fully loaded, an affirmative result of test 21 reaches a test 25 to determine if there are intervening car calls; that is, calls registered within car C for floors between the present position of car C and the call being considered for assignment. If there are intervening car calls, this means that passengers will get off and that, therefore, there should be some room for passengers by the time the car reaches the call in question. If there are no intervening car calls, this indicates that the car will remain fully loaded, and a negative result of test 25 will reach the step 14 to cause the car to be registered as unavailable. If there are intervening calls, an affirmative result of test 25 reaches a test 26 to determine if all of the car calls are intervening. If they are, this assures that there will be room in the car by the time it reaches the call, so an affirmative result of test 26 reaches the step 22 to register the car as available. If all the calls are not intervening, a negative result of test 26 reaches a test 27 to see if there are any intervening hall calls. If there are no intervening hall calls, then there is little likelihood that more passengers will enter the car to replace the passengers that will likely get off on the intervening car calls determined in test 25. Therefore, a negative result of test 27 will similarly reach the step 22. But if there are intervening hall calls, an affirmative result of test 27 reaches a test 28 to determine if all of the cars in the group are fully loaded. If they are not, there is no point in overloading this car, so a negative result of test 28 reaches the step 14 to register this car as being unavailable. If all of the cars are fully loaded, an affirmative result of test 28 reaches a test 29 to determine if there is any car in the group which has no intervening hall calls between its present position and the position of the call in question. If there is such a car, it may be able to handle the call, so an affirmative result of test 29 will reach the step 14 to register the current car as unavailable. If there is no car in the group that has no hall calls between its present position and the hall call in question, a negative result of test 29 reaches a test 30 to determine if any car in the group has no car calls beyond the call in question, indicating some sort of possibility that, even though all cars are fully loaded, some car may have room because all of its calls (relating to any load it presently may have) are intervening. Thus, the tests 28-30 determine either that there is room, there may get to be room, or there should be room by the time some other car reaches the call, so that this fully loaded car should not be considered as available. But if this car is fully loaded, and all the other cars are fully loaded and do not look as if they could or should acquire room for more passengers, then this car is no worse than the rest and so a negative result of test 30 will reach the step 22 to register this car as available to answer the call. Eventually, after decrementing the C counter in step 15, it will represent the low car so an affirmative result of test 16 will advance the programming through a transfer point 31 to the assignment routine of FIG. 2.
In FIG. 2, a first subroutine 34 determines the predicted waiting time for all hall calls, not including the hall call under consideration (which remains unassigned at this time); this is referred to herein as predicted waiting time "before" the assignment. The predicted waiting time is the time that the call has been outstanding plus the remaining response time (RRT) which it is predicted will be required for the car currently assigned to answer each call to reach such call. Then, a step 35 once again sets the C counter to the high car. Then, a test 36 checks whether the car is available, as determined in steps 14 and 22 of FIG. 1. If not, a step 37 will decrement the C counter and a test 38 determines if all cars have been processed yet, or not. If not, the program reverts to the test 36 for the next lower car in sequence. If the car is available, a step 39 will assign the hall call in question to the car (C) under consideration. This assignment is temporary and is automatically undone in every instance, at step 40, as described hereinafter. A subroutine 41 determines the predicted remaining response time of car C to reach this hall call, in accordance with well known principles, some of which are described in the aforementioned copending application. Basically, it simply is estimates of time it takes for the car to traverse distances, open and close doors, allow passengers to enter and exit the car, and so forth, in the light of the already assigned hall calls and registered car calls. A subroutine 42 determines the predicted waiting time which all of the other assigned hall calls would endure in the event that this call were assigned to the car in question; this is referred to herein as predicted waiting time "after" the assignment. Then step 40 un-assigns the call from car C. A subroutine 43 determines all of the "affected" calls, which are defined as those for which the predicted waiting time after the assignment (determined in subroutine 42) exceeds the predicted waiting time before the assignment (as determined in the subroutine 34). All of the calls which are affected (in the sense that, should this assignment be made, their predicted waiting time will be longer than if this assignment is not made) are given consideration, whether or not such calls are predicted to wait in excess of some threshold value. As will be seen, this is accommodated in the fuzzy logic and emphasis of the present invention.
Once the estimated remaining response time for this car to answer the subject hall call and the adverse affect on all the rest of the calls are known, the membership of the remaining response time for this car to answer the subject hall call is looked up in the subroutine 44 in each of a plurality of fuzzy sets, the degree of which are remaining response time, such as the fuzzy sets illustrated in FIG. 3. And then the membership of the one of the affected calls having the maximum predicted waiting time has its membership value looked up in the subroutine 45 in a plurality of fuzzy sets having degree of predicted waiting time, such as the fuzzy sets illustrated in FIG. 4. The fuzzy sets each represent a different degree of unsuitability of this car to service this call. The fuzzy sets of FIGS. 3 and 4 can be expressed in standard format as follows:
RRT is LOW={[1.0,0], [1.0,5], [0.0,15]}
RRT is MEDIUM={[0.0,0], [0.0,5], [1.0,15], [1.0,20], [0.0,45]}
RRT is HIGH={[0.0,0], [0.0,30], [1.0,45]}
AFFECTED-ELDERLY-CALL is NONE={[1.0,0], [1.0,30], [0.0,60]}
AFFECTED-ELDERLY-CALL is VERY={[0.0,0], [0.0,45], [1.0,85]}
The effect that the membership values in the five fuzzy sets of FIGS. 3 and 4 (provided by subroutines 44 and 45) should have is determined by giving emphasis to the various combinations of remaining response time and affected predicted waiting time according to a table, such as the table shown in FIG. 5. The sample values shown in the table of FIG. 5 indicate an obvious truth: that a low value of remaining response time and no affected elderly calls is much preferred to anything else, and a high response time and a very pronounced effect on other calls is least preferred.
The process of evaluating the fuzzy rule set that results from combining the membership values determined in subroutines 44 and 45 with the emphases of FIG. 5 can be achieved, in a standard fashion, by utilizing multiplication for the T-Norm function (used to combine terms within a rule) and addition for the S-Norm function (used to combine the results of different rules). This fuzzy inference process can be written as a function which uses * for multiplication and + for addition to compute the overall Goodness for each car as shown ##STR1## The Goodness (G) function can be written out in shorter notation using E for emphasis, m() for membership, L/N for low and none, and so forth, to express all six terms, as follows: ##EQU1## For the example of FIGS. 3-5: ##EQU2##
In FIG. 2, a test 48 determines if the car under consideration has a car call coincident with the hall call to be assigned. If not, a negative result of test 48 reaches a subroutine 49 which calculates goodness of the assignment of this call to car C in the manner described hereinbefore with respect to Equations 1-5. This might, for instance, use the emphasis values set forth in FIG. 5 and Equation 3. On the other hand, if there is a coincident car call, then an affirmative result of test 48 reaches a subroutine 50 to perform the goodness evaluation of Equations 1-5 using a different set of emphasis factors which take into account the desirability of assigning a hall call to a car that is headed for that floor anyway. This typically would be done by increasing the values in the "VERY" column of FIG. 5, since coincident call is an overall system factor, as is the effect on other hall calls. Thus, the "VERY" column might be altered to 45, 20 and 15 in the case of a coincident car call. All of these factors are, of course, subject to tailoring to suit the particular need in any implementation of the present invention.
Once the goodness value of assigning this call to car C has been determined in either of the subroutines 49, 50 the step 37 is reached to decrement the C counter and the test 38 determines whether all of the cars have been examined to either determine that a car is not available, or determine its goodness value. Initially, they will not have, so a negative result of test 38 causes the program to revert to test 36; eventually, all of the cars in the group will have been handled, and the results of subroutines 49 and 50 can be considered to be a fuzzy set (ASSIGNMENT) of the form:
{[Goodness(Car1),Car1], [Goodness(Car2),Car2], . . . , [Goodness(CarN),CarN]} (EQN 6)
To determine the actual assignment, the ASSIGNMENT fuzzy set is defuzzified by Max Defuzzification. This is the equivalent to selecting the car with the highest Goodness value (Equation 5). Therefore, an affirmative result of test 38 reaches a subroutine 51 in which the hall call is assigned to the car which has the maximum goodness value of all of those determined in either subroutine 49 or 50. Then, a transfer point 52 causes the program to revert to establish setting up the assignment for the next call in turn, until all of the hall calls have been evaluated. These assignments are reflected in the dispatching by the group controller, in a manner that the car controllers will ultimately cause the cars to serve the calls.
By inspection, it should be obvious that the routines of FIGS. 1 and 2 could be combined, in that the availability of each car could be determined as in FIG. 1 and then if available, its goodness value determined as in FIG. 2 before decrementing the C counter to identify the next car in turn. However, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 have been shown as they are for the purpose of clarifying that the availability is distinct from the hall call assignment. These and other details in the manner in which the routines are actually carried out can be made in accordance with a wide variety of options known to those skilled in the art, without in any way changing the invention. Additionally, rather than having only two fuzzy sets related to affected predicted waiting time, as in FIG. 4 and the examples of Equations 1-5, it might more properly suit the utilization of this invention to have three or five different fuzzy sets which then could be applied in a way which is obvious in view of Equations 1-5. Similarly, other fuzzy sets and other values for the fuzzy sets could be chosen to suit any use of the present invention, all of which is immaterial to the practice of the invention, though such selections can greatly affect the value of the invention in any particular utilization thereof. In other words, the nature and number of fuzzy sets should be selected so as to achieve the best balance of response in economics that is desired in any given elevator group in which the invention is used. This is a feature of the invention.
Thus, although the invention has been shown and described with respect to exemplary embodiments thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and various other changes, omissions and additions may be made therein and thereto, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Romney camp seeks on-the-fence voters, weighs shifting resources to bluer states
Associated Press
LEESBURG, Va. — On immigration, taxes and women's issues, Mitt Romney is abandoning his "severely conservative" talk of the Republican primary season and moving sharply to the political center as he looks to sway on-the-fence voters in the campaign's final three weeks.
At the same time, the GOP presidential nominee's advisers and the Republican National Committee are looking to give Romney more routes to reaching the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. They are weighing whether to shift resources from North Carolina, where Republicans express confidence of winning, into states long considered safe territory for President Barack Obama, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The evolving strategy comes as both candidates work to capitalize on their second debate-stage meeting, a Tuesday night face off in which Romney emphasized his bipartisan credentials as well as his efforts to hire women while Massachusetts governor, and declared, "I'm not looking to cut taxes for wealthy people."
One day after the debate, Romney's camp conceded that Obama had a strong performance and mapped out a plan for the Republican to focus on the economy in the coming days, including delivering a speech on spending and debt early next week. Romney also intends to continue aggressively reaching out to the narrow slice of moderate, undecided voters.
The former Massachusetts governor, who described himself as "severely conservative" in February, offered a moderate message while appealing directly to women voters Wednesday in Virginia, which Obama won four years ago and is up for grabs now.
"This president has failed America's women," Romney told an estimated 3,500 supporters Wednesday gathered outside Tidewater Community College in Chesapeake. "They've suffered in terms of getting jobs. They've suffered in terms of falling into poverty."
At an evening rally in Leesburg, he cited the struggle of single mothers and called for more cooperation in politics.
"I want to ensure that we come together as Republicans and Democrats. People of all the states, come together," Romney said at an evening rally that drew 8,500 to northern Virginia.
He also has softened his tone on women's issues as he looks to cut into Obama's polling advantage among women.
Romney's opposition to Planned Parenthood was a common theme during the primary, and Obama hammered the Republican on Tuesday over his plan to cut funding for Planned Parenthood, the network of clinics that provide women's health care and also provide abortion services.
Romney hasn't backed away from that stance; his plan to cut Title X, which funds family planning health services, is still listed on his website. But he isn't quick to talk about it either.
Romney had also been careful not to take a position against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. That bill, the first Obama signed as president, requires employers to prove that differences in pay are related to qualifications, not to gender; it also allows more time for employees to sue employers if they are discriminated against.
Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said Tuesday night that Romney had opposed the Ledbetter legislation all along but, a day later, the aide said he had been wrong.
Looking to cut into Obama's polling edge with Hispanics, Romney assailed Obama on Tuesday for failing to live up to a promise to try to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. He tried to offer a sunny explanation for a phrase he favored earlier this year: self-deportation — essentially, creating employment and enforcement conditions so harsh that immigrants are forced to leave.
During the primary season, Romney insisted he wouldn't talk about a comprehensive plan until the U.S. border with Mexico was more secure.
"Secure the border. Once we do that, we can start talking about the 11 million or whatever number that may be that are in the country illegally," Romney said in a debate in Iowa last year.
Romney also is emphasizing his plan to overhaul the nation's tax system, including the declaration that wealthy Americans won't get a tax break under his plan. The campaign's internal polling during the debate found that to be his most popular line, along with his promises to help small businesses and reduce the nation's deficit.
"By reducing the tax on the next dollar of income earned by all taxpayers, we will encourage hard work, risk-taking, and productivity by allowing Americans to keep more of what they earn," Romney told the Detroit Economic Club earlier this year.
"I'm not looking to cut taxes for wealthy people. I am looking to cut taxes for middle-income people," Romney said Tuesday.

What is Christian Youth International?
By Editorial Staff
Published December 1, 1992
- Christian Youth International (CYI) is a leadership training and church planting organization established by Bob Weiner based in Moscow, Russia.
- CYI is training a new generation of leaders to build a revived and glorious church in the former communist bloc.
- CYI's training conferences are a resource for the entire church in the former USSR. Youth leaders from many different cities attend.
- CYI provides a network for Americans to sponsor churches in the former Soviet Union. Missionary teams plant churches with the cooperation of CYI's leaders.
- CYI trains students to begin Bible studies on campuses, to begin campus groups, to hold evangelistic outreaches, and to be church planters.
How are churches planted by Christian Youth International?
Ministry team members have used the two phase approach:
- Phase one: Training seminars were begun by Bob Weiner at the Izmaijilovo hotel in Moscow in 1991. During the first year, youth leaders traveled from all parts of the Soviet Union to be trained at bimonthly five-day seminars. These leaders were equipped with hundreds of thousands of Bible study books, Bibles, New Testaments, and a Christian youth newspaper to distribute. Leaders began Bible studies, cells groups and established churches among the youth of their city.
- Phase two: Three day training conferences are now being held four times a year in Moscow. After each conference apostolic teams will be sent out to new cities to plant churches with CYI's leaders; other teams will be sent to established churches to strengthen young believers, build ongoing relationships, and to serve the leadership. CYI will provide a link between American and Russian "sister-churches" by matching compatible ministries and spiritual gifts between Americans and Russians. American churches help with church planting, equipping, evangelism training, and servant leadership.
Why is Christian Youth International needed?
- Religion in the former Soviet Union is dominated by the Russian Orthodox Church, and smaller Protestant and Pentecostal churches. There are many true believers among these groups, however, there are few churches acting as "new wine skins" to hold the new wine that God is presently pouring out. There is also the threat of the Muslims and many cults who are threatening to spoil the harvest. There is a serious need to establish new churches to reap the harvest among the new generation of believers of the current spiritual awakening.
- The Protestant Reformation did not occur in this region of the world (with the exception of the Baltic States). Therefore, a biblical worldview which was restored to the church in Europe and America during this time is unknown by Christians in the former Soviet Union. There is no vision for the reformation of society and the restoration of the New Testament Church; many believers in the former Soviet Union are hearing this aspect of the Good News for the first time in CYI's leadership training conferences and through their relationships with sister churches.
- Christian Youth International is providing an important support link between Russian churches and western ministries. Powerful ongoing missionary activity in the former USSR is being facilitated by CYI.
- Revival in the former Soviet Union has come in the wake of political and economic disintegration. The Soviet Union is now comprised of separate republics tied together only by sobering economic realities: food shortages, inflation, distribution problems, lack of adequate medical supplies, transportation, etc. Political and economic turmoil provide a unique opportunity for the Church to rise up and be a mighty deliverance force in this region of the world.
- An opportunity to establish an international youth movement is possible through reaching many "people's groups" in the former Soviet Union. There are over 150 ethic nations that need to be reached with the gospel in the former USSR.
Why not sponsor the training of youth leaders?
A recent InterVarsity poll indicated that 60% of the people living in the vast former USSR are completely open to the gospel. A great window of opportunity lies open before us today in the former Soviet Union!
At the end of the Second World War, General Douglas MacArthur pled with the American church to rush thousands of missionaries to a humbled, defeated Japan. Shintoism had failed them. Their "god," Hirohito, had just been "dedeified." It was a classic opportunity for Christianity to walk into a colossal spiritual vacuum. Instead we hesitated. In the minds of many American Chrisitans, the Japanese were still "the enemy." And while we stalled, Japan groped toward a new religion – shameless, often vicious materialism. Is there a consequence, other than spiritual, when missions opportunities are lost? Every American pays every day for our spiritual failure in Japan.
We must not let this become another missed opportunity. God has already given America the resources. At an exchange rate of 400-500 rubles to the dollar, a gift of only $100 can give three students the opportunity to come and be trained at a CYI conference.
Reaching the Youth of Asia
In addition to ministering extensively throughout the former Soviet Union, Bob Weiner spends about one-third of his time in Asia. Sixty percent of the world's population lives within a 2000 mile radius of Hong Kong. It has been estimated that at least fifty percent of these people are under the age of 25 years old. The objective is to reach the multitudes who have never heard the gospel in this area, especially the youth.
Preaching Jesus the Messiah to Jews Throughout the World
The messianic Jewish vision is an integral part of Bob and Rose Weiner Ministries. One-third of our time is spent working among believers of Jewish heritage who have a vision to reach Jews throughout the world. We believe that, in accordance with Romans chapters 9-11, a great number of ethnic Jews will be ingrafted into the vine: Jesus Christ.
In the former Soviet Union there are 3-1/2 million ethnic Jews. These young people have not been indoctrinated against Jesus Christ by their rabbis and are the most open Jews in the world to the gospel. Among Christian Youth International's leaders there are a number of Jewish believers who have a vision to reach their people. Our plan is to equip them to plant hundreds of congregations within the former Soviet Union. Some have been sent out to the nation of Israel; others hope to travel to other parts of the world as a witness of Jesus Christ to God's scattered people – Israel.

Abortion Clinic 911 Calls (DVD)
Exposes the Dangers of Abortion to Women!
These shocking eyewitness accounts expose the dangers of abortion not only to unborn children, but to the health and lives women as well. An antidote to the smokescreens of the liberal media, these short clips show what really happens in and around abortion clinics.
Although the content is emotionally gut-wrenching, these videos have been used in church seminars and small groups to educate Christians on the abortion issue and to lead people toward a pro-life position. Contains 2 hours and 40 minutes of materials that can be shown separately.
Watch these pro-life videos on-line.
"These videos helped change my mind from pro-choice to pro-life. Your videos are what did it for me. I will be walking in next year's March For Life in San Francisco." — A. Jackson, California
"I was going to have an abortion until I saw your video. Praise Jesus!"
— M. Drew, YouTube Commenter

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

While the wider uses of technology have increased student awareness of what is possible, within teaching and learning technology use often remains quite stagnant and out of date based on notions of what good teaching looks like and how standards must drive the process rather than the process itself. This is most clearly seen in current course delivery software platforms, which remain supportive of teacher-driven instructional design and content production and delivery. But a tension now exists between the potential for individual customization that threatens the very essence of conventional wisdom in course design and delivery.

Sony VAIO E Series (VPCEJ15FG) notebook
A well-built, but basic Sony 17in notebook
- Reasonable price-tag
- Good build quality and design
- Keyboard should be larger
- A Full HD screen would have been nice
- Slightly bland styling may turn off some
Bottom Line
Sony's VAIO E Series notebooks are intended for general purpose use, and the VPCEJ15FG fulfils that requirement happily. If you're trying to complete too many tasks at once the E Series does tend to pause for a few seconds, but we only encountered this a few times in our testing. For use in a small business or home office, or as a desktop replacement for a university or high school student (sans 3D gaming), the Sony VAIO E is a surprisingly affordable choice.
Price$ 1,199.00 (AUD)

The very graphics intensive 3DMark 11 was much harder on the Sony VAIO E (VPCEJ15FG), producing a performance figure of P469. This poor result is due to the basic graphics adapter in the VAIO E, which is a Geforce 410M — it's more than powerful enough for basic Windows prettiness and older 3D games or 3D applications, but benchmarking apps like 3DMark 11 or newer 3D games will bring it to its knees.
See how the Sony VAIO E Series compares to other 2011 notebooks in our performance chart.
When we were setting up the VAIO E Series for our testing — installing four or five programs, transferring data from an external hard drive, and tweaking a few Windows settings while lazily browsing the Internet — we did manage to get the laptop to pause for a few seconds on a few instances. A more powerful laptop with a quad-core processor, a faster hard drive and more RAM wouldn't have had this problem, but given the generally quick recovery of the VAIO E and the intensive nature of what we were doing we're not too fussed with these moments of freezing.
The battery of the Sony VAIO E Series (VPCEJ15FG) notebook is rated to last up to 3 hours by Sony. In our battery torture test we halved that — 1hr 24min with a DiVX video file playing at full brightness. These wildly differing results are largely due to the differences in screen brightness — Sony's testing is done at minimum brightness with Wi-Fi off, and ours has a maximum brightness display with Wi-Fi on and connected. Think of ours as a worst case scenario and Sony's as the best. You can buy an optional battery for the Sony VAIO E Series with double the life.
Sony VAIO E Series (VPCEJ15FG) notebook: Conclusion
The Sony VAIO E Series (VPCEJ15FG) doesn't carry the same price tag as the Sonys of yesteryear, which is a refreshing change. It is still more expensive than similar products from cheaper, cut-price brands like Acer and Medion. With its middling $1199 RRP and reasonable performance figures backed up by solid build quality, we'd have no problem recommending the Sony VAIO E Series for an everyday user.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

LOS ANGELES, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and California Teen Safe Driving Week, Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is teaming up with Impact Teen Drivers, California Office of Traffic Safety and California Highway Patrol (CHP) to host teen driver safety events in Southern California. The events are designed to increase awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and help teens become safer and more responsible drivers.
As part of the events in Los Angeles and San Diego, Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy, a California DMV-certified teen driving school, is coaching teens through a closed distracted driving course. The demonstrations will take place at Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, CA on Wednesday, April 2 and at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on April 3.
For a third year, Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is hosting driver safety demonstrations during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Mercedes-Benz has been at the forefront of vehicle safety and innovation throughout its 128-year history. The Driving Academy is a natural extension of the company's goal of accident-free driving.
The driving demonstrations allow students to drive on a closed course, first without distractions, and then again with the introduction of distractions – ranging from noisy passengers to cell phone usage to performing simple tasks within the vehicle.
"The number one cause of death amongst teens is car crashes, with 90% of crashes due to driver error. It's disheartening because these tragedies are preventable," said Carolyn Duchene, director of Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy. "Parents can make a huge difference by simply being role models behind the wheel."
To help avoid driving distractions, Duchene offers these tips for both parents and teens:
Before you leave
- Plan ahead by mapping out and reviewing your route before you start your drive
- Adjust mirrors, seats, climate control and radio before you start driving or ask your passenger
- Turn off your cell phone or place it out of reach. Store it in a glove compartment, back seat or in the trunk
- Have a snack prior to driving to help avoid eating while you are driving
While driving
- Pull over if you need to make a call or send a text message
- Be a responsible passenger. Do not allow anyone to drive you if they are distracted
- Do a "head-check": How are you feeling? Are you anxious? Do you feel sick? Are you feeling stressed out? Make sure your mind is on driving before you even make your trip!
Throughout April, Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is offering free Parent Teen Workshops in Los Angeles, Orange County. Later this spring workshops will also be available in San Diego County. During the workshops, certified Mercedes-Benz Driving Coaches provide valuable information on Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws, teen driving statistics, strategies for safe driving, and tips on how to choose the best driving school to meet your needs.
For more details interested teens and parents should contact the Academy directly at 855-MBDA-USA (855-623-2872) or visit us online at MB-DrivingAcademy.com.
About Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy
Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy opened in Los Angeles in November 2011 and is the first international teen driving school. Mercedes-Benz is the only automotive manufacturer to operate a state-certified driver education program in the United States.
Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy features a customized curriculum involving a highly interactive, participatory system of key tactical on-line and classroom components in conjunction with on-road training. The school's highly effective coaching-method and unique offerings, including a closed course distracted driving demonstration, aims to improve better decision-making behind the wheel and develop safer drivers for life.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

We developed a multitrack average amplitude profile method to study adjacent track interference (ATI) in perpendicular magnetic recording. We have integrated a ATI test module into our spin stand. The consequence of demagnetization field on the thermal decay is characterized by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) decay. The correlation between ATI and SNR decay suggests that the ATI is thermally activated decay.
