I have compiled the Kernel on my
64-bit Debian XPS Studio 1340 Dell system.
srikanth@debian:~ - 05:40:52 PM - $ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 22 17:26:33 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Kernel version that I have used and compiled from kernel.org is
I have nvidia installed on old kernel. I got the old config and I used the same config to compile the new kernel.
Everything went well and I got two debian packages ( image and headers ) which I have installed on my system.
When I select the new kernel on the boot menu and I go into it, the X server is not starting up possibly because I have to "
rebuild" ( not sure how to do that ) according to this link:
- Can you suggest
how to do the rebuild on nvidia module so that I can start x( without seeing any blank screen or error saying nvidia module is missing ) ?
PS: The link that I have used to compile the kernel is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#Alternate_Build_Method:_The_Old-Fashioned_Debian_Way

We would like to share with you our excitement about this great review by Lenka Sedlackova MW:
2011 Rossiu di Munte Cabernet Sauvignon, Katogi Averoff (Metsovo)
THIS WINE blew my mind. All the more amazing because it's a Cabernet, a variety I am not known to be a huge fan of. This is a very different style of Cabernet, mind. It is packaged in a Burgundy bottle and it is clearly evident why – this is an elegant, fresh expression of Cab. Rather than showing cedar and spice and all things nice, this is a feminine, perfumed and pretty wine. Margaux more than Pauillac, if you will. Perhaps it is the fact that this is Greece's oldest Cabernet vineyard. It was planted in 1958 with cuttings brought from Château Margaux, as it were. I would love to see wines from this producer in the UK!

Gadget Ogling: Unappetizing Apple Juice, a Fistful of Virtual Reality, and Considerate Drones
December 12, 2015
After years of seeing third-party companies release battery pack cases for its iPhone line, Apple finally has entered the market itself. The Smart Battery Case aims to protect your iPhone and provide it with extra power when you need it. A full charge on the phone and the battery case delivers up to 25 hours of talk time, and up to 18 hours of LTE Internet use.
FBI Chief: High-Tech Firms Need to Rethink Encryption Stance
December 11, 2015
FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday told members of a U.S. Senate committee that high-tech companies may need to adopt a new business model regarding encryption in order to get on the same page with law enforcement. "Encryption is getting in the way of our ability to have court orders effective to gather information we need in our most important work," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

December 10, 2015
Mozilla on Wednesday confirmed that it has hung up on the Firefox OS mobile phone and will try using the operating system to dial into other connected device uses instead. The company spent several years developing a browser-based smartphone OS. It ended its sales program of the Firefox mobile operating system to carriers and will no longer develop the OS for smartphones, Mozilla said.

December 10, 2015
Chances are, you know an Apple fanatic -- someone whose iPhone, Mac or iPad is a prized possession. If you don't know a true fanatic, you probably know a fan -- or barring that, someone who might appreciate an Apple-made gift this holiday season. To help you cut through the chaff, from one Apple fanatic to... someone else entirely, I've put together a list of the best Apple gifts.
Apple's Pricey New iPhone Battery Case Gets Very Little Love
December 8, 2015
Apple on Tuesday unveiled its own battery case for the iPhone 6s. Offered in white and charcoal gray, it has a silicone exterior and a microfiber lining. In addition to offering protection, it increases iPhone usage times. The intelligent battery status is displayed on the iPhone Lock screen and in Notification Center. Priced at $99, the case supports Lightning accessories.
4-Inch iPhone With Apple Pay May Be Coming Soon
December 7, 2015
Apple will launch an iPhone with a 4-inch display and support for Apple Pay in early 2016, according to a research note from an analyst with a good track record of predicting Apple products. The new iPhone model will have an A9 processor -- the same processor found in the latest iPhone models -- and a metal casing offered in several colors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities said.
Ballmer Points Out Error of Microsoft's Ways
December 4, 2015
Former CEO Steve Ballmer on Wednesday called out Microsoft on finance reporting and its app strategy for Windows Phone. CEO Satya Nadella this summer laid out his vision for the company in a letter to employees. It included a Windows 10 strategy founded on universal apps, software that could be scaled to Xbox One, Window Phones, tablets and desktops. That's the wrong way to go, Ballmer asserted.
Losing Headphone Jack Would Allow Thinner, More Functional iPhone 7
December 2, 2015
A Japanese blog last week suggested that Apple intends to peel the 3.5-millimeter headphone jack from the next version of the iPhone. The jack will be dropped from the iPhone 7, according to a Google translation of the blog post. Labeled "Rumor," it cited what it called a reliable source. Dumping the jack would allow Apple to shave a millimeter off the thickness of the unit, 9to5Mac reported.
BlackBerry to Pull Out of Pakistan on Privacy Grounds
November 30, 2015
BlackBerry on Monday announced that it will cease operations in Pakistan at the end of the year. The move is the result of a shutdown order from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, which in July notified the company that its BlackBerry Enterprise Service servers would no longer be allowed to operate in the country beginning in December for what it said were security concerns.
Is This VR's Mainstream Moment?
November 24, 2015
Samsung last week began fulfilling orders for its Oculus-power Gear VR headset, giving U.S. consumers their first taste of Oculus VR's brand of virtual reality. International preorders have opened as well. It won't be until early next year that Oculus VR begins shipping its full-featured Oculus Rift headset, but as a Gear VR collaborator, it has been touting Samsung's mobile-driven headset.
Gadget Ogling: A Dumb Watch Dock, a Smart VR Phone Case, and a Fantastic Fireball Thrower
November 21, 2015
No longer leaving it up to third-party companies to create charging docks for its Apple Watch, Apple has released its own official dock. It allows Watch owners to rest the smartwatch in nightstand mode -- a feature introduced in the latest version of the operating system that essentially turns the Watch into a bedside clock -- without tangling it up with the standard magnetic charger.
Time for Apple to Broaden Its Model?
November 16, 2015
Apple shares have been sliding since Credit Suisse last week warned of weaker-than-expected iPhone 6s demand. Credit Suisse lowered its earnings estimates for calendar year 2016 by 6 percent, based on Apple cutting component orders by as much as 10 percent due to the weak demand. Credit Suisse lowered its calendar year estimates to 222 million units from 242 million units.
BlackBerry's Priv Puzzles the Tech World
November 9, 2015
BlackBerry on Friday released its Priv smartphone, its first Android-based device. The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop slider is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor and an Adreno 418 GPU. It's stocked with 3 GB of low-power RAM and 32 GB of storage. There's an 18-MP shooter on its backside and a 2-MP chat cam on its face.
Why Tablets Are Tanking
November 9, 2015
Boy, we really have gone full circle on tablets -- and not just once. Back when the Windows tablets first came to market, a whole bunch of us predicted it wouldn't be long before they replaced all of the notebooks. I don't think they even made it to 10 percent before the tablet market collapsed, and the pre-existing forms reclaimed their shares. Then the iPad launched.
Gadget Ogling: An Emotional Keyboard, a Puzzling Phone, and Exquisite Headphones
November 7, 2015
To communicate online in 2015 is to have at least a passing awareness of emoji -- the colorful symbols that are endemic in social media and text messages. Inputting emoji into a post or message from a computer is often awkward, though this item might help. EmojiWorks has a physical keyboard which, at the touch of a modifier -- think ctrl, alt or command -- you can use to type emoji.
Tablets Losing Ground to Big Smartphones, Light PCs
October 30, 2015
Global demand for tablets continued a year-long slide, as shipments fell for the fourth consecutive quarter amid signs of market saturation in North America, Asia and Western Europe, IDC noted in a report released Thursday. Worldwide shipments fell 12.6 percent year-over-year to 48.6 million during the third quarter, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker.
Gadget Ogling: A Deluxe Dock, a Crafty Computer, and a T-rific Tablet Stand
October 24, 2015
Beddi is an alarm clock smartphone dock that has a few tricks to elevate it above others of its ilk. The system, from Witti, works with both iOS and Android devices, which you place on top and recharge with your own cable. Two things are really interesting: the price and the programmable buttons. As for the latter, that means using Bluetooth to pair your smartphone with Beddi's companion app.
Digital Assistants Sap Drivers' Attention
October 23, 2015
Up to 27 seconds of residual distraction trails use of digital assistant software and infotainment systems in automobiles, the University of Utah reported Thursday. The report follows a similar set of studies done last year that concluded that infotainment systems distract drivers. This time, researchers looked at the aftereffects of driving while using infotainment systems and digital assistants.
Google's Nexus 6P and 5X Win Some Love
October 19, 2015
The reviews are out for Google's Nexus 6P and 5X, unveiled late last month, and they can be summed up in two words: Love them! They're described as "the best Nexus devices ever produced" and "Google's answer to Apple's iPhones," but those tired phrases are rolled out with every new Nexus or flagship Android smartphone, so what else is new? The camera, for one.
Boffins Demo Remote Control of Siri, Google Now
October 19, 2015
Siri and other smartphone digital assistants may do your bidding -- but they may do a hijacker's as well. That's what two researchers discovered when they began to tinker with the effects of radio waves on smartphones. They could use the waves to issue commands to any Android or iOS phone running Google Now or Siri. The researchers first aired their findings at a Paris conference this summer.
Gadget Ogling: Smarter Smartphone Gaming, Modular Watches, and Vampiric Charging Cables
October 17, 2015
I don't enjoy playing complex games on a smartphone. Using the screen as both input and output device makes matters complicated, so I tend to steer clear of any game that requires more than single taps or simple swipes. There are a number of game controllers around for smartphones, however, and the Satechi Wireless Gamepad, a Bluetooth device, is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows phones.
Gadget Ogling: A Fascinating Book, Stunning Speakers, and Empowering Tables
October 10, 2015
Right after Google unveiled the first tablet it created entirely in-house, Microsoft has gone them one better. Its Surface Book is a high-end laptop that falls in line with the Surface ethos. It's a convertible that works in tablet format, but its keyboard appears vastly superior to the ones available for other Surface devices. From a specs standpoint, the Surface Book seems to pack the goods.
Verizon Supercookie to Let Advertisers Gorge on Customer Data
October 8, 2015
Verizon has announced it will begin sharing customer data with its AOL Advertising Network, triggering concerns about privacy and customer tracking. AOL will use Verizon's supercookie -- which is difficult to get rid of -- to track users. "This is a huge privacy problem, but carriers have never really cared that much about customer satisfaction," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.
Philips Smart Hub Embraces Siri, HomeKit
October 7, 2015
Philips on Monday unveiled Hue Bridge 2.0., which integrates the company's smart home products and iOS's HomeKit, giving users the ability to dictate to smart things from a Siri-enabled smartphone. Replacing its round predecessor, the square Hue Bridge 2.0 is compatible with Philips' legacy smart lights and controls. The hub will support new smart products from Philips for the foreseeable future.
Microsoft Throws the Book at Apple
October 6, 2015
Microsoft on Tuesday held an event in New York City where it unveiled a laptop, a tablet, three Lumia smartphones and a fitness band -- all running Windows 10 -- along with a slew of other products. It also announced new apps for Windows 10, including Box, Facebook, Instagram, Flipagram, Candy Crush Soda Saga and Uber. All of the apps will be available on the new devices.
So What's Really the Best Smartphone?
October 5, 2015
The best smartphone on the market is the iPhone, right? That is the conventional wisdom. However, if I were to ask about the best shoes, shirt, car, boat or TV, the answers likely would be all over the map. When it comes to cars, for instance, I personally favor convertibles because they remind me of my youth when I could ride a motorcycle without a helmet, and they are just more fun.
Gadget Ogling: Eyes on Google
October 3, 2015
Chromecast helps people easily stream whatever they want through their TV via a simple dongle. Now Google's adding a splash of color to the device, along with a string of new features. Instead of resembling a USB stick, Chromecast 2 is more like a colorful button, and Google says it is easier to plug into an HDMI slot. Also, it apparently can stream videos faster and with less buffering.
Google Lines Up a Batch of Marshmallow-Ready Hardware
September 30, 2015
Google on Tuesday introduced a pair of new phablets, a couple of Chromecasts and the first tablet it built by itself. The unveilings took place at its Nexus event in San Francisco. Months of leaks drew very accurate portraits of the $499 Huawei Nexus 6P and $379 LG Nexus 5X and other Android hardware, but Google filled in the details ahead of Android Marshmallow's expected Oct. 5 release.
BlackBerry Sees the Android Light
September 28, 2015
BlackBerry on Friday announced that it would introduce an Android smartphone later this year. The announcement came during the company's Q2 earnings call. The device will be known as the "Priv" and will be built around user privacy, said CEO John Chen. BlackBerry didn't offer any specifics about the Priv beyond the name -- nothing about pricing, U.S. carrier partners or any handset specs.
Samsung Gear VR to Test Virtual Reality's Mass Appeal
September 28, 2015
Samsung last week unveiled a consumer version of a virtual reality headset adapter that converts Samsung smartphones into head-mounted displays. The move represents a first strike -- ready or not -- as top tech industry players begin to push virtual reality hardware into consumer markets. Samsung and partner Oculus VR have imparted several improvements to the consumer version of Gear VR.

The HHS through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) has awarded Pfenex a contract for up to $18.8 million provided that certain milestones are achieved and all options and extensions are exercised. The contract will support the development of a Pfenex Expression Technology™-based production strain and process for the manufacture of bulk recombinant protective antigen (rPA) from anthrax.
Pfenex will apply its platform to identify high-producing expression strains capable of producing high titers of stable rPA. It will then leverage its process-development and scale-up capabilities to create a cGMP process at commercial production scales. It is also tasked with evaluating the performance of the protein in IND-enabling studies.
Pfenex' Expression Technology platform is based on the microorganism Pseudomonas fluorescens for the production of research proteins, reagent proteins, biopharmaceuticals, and biosimilars. It is designed to ensure soluble and active expression through the avoidance of proteolytic clipping and post-translational modifications along, the firm explains. Solubility is further enhanced through protein-folding improvements.
The platform also has a rapid fermentation cycle time that utilizes a low-cost, defined medium with no animal-derived components, says Pfenex. It achieves high specific and volumetric expression titers and can be incorporated into virtually any fermentation scale-up system in use today, the company reports.

Come In!
We are Epoch Arts! An "arts for youth" non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping young people communicate, collaborate, create and celebrate through experiencing, hands-on, the arts. No experience needed, please. Whether in a class, rehearsal or a performance, students learn valuable principles, techniques and skills that help them grow as people, and as artists. We address complex issues and social tensions young people face by creating original art. Our aim isn't to create perfect artists or art but rather to use the arts as a medium to help students understand and express feelings, work with others as a community and explore complex issues that we face in our daily lives. So, join us! We are eager to get to know you!
Latest News:
New Website!
Welcome to our new website! We hope it is friendly to you. Please explore around and let us know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for coming to Project Art 2016
Creating original art in a variety of art forms can be challenging enough, but doing so in a 42,000 square foot run down factory building, in a community that is off the beaten path, with students who are misplaced and at risk, is extremely tough. But that is what the volunteers at Epoch Arts are doing daily. We believe that art can ignite change in both an individual and a community and we are seeing the difference daily. Project Art does much more than supply students with the material and resources they need, it supplies them with life lasting mentors and skills. Teachers invest in our students as a whole. They know them by much more than just a name, they know who they are, what they need and more importantly,they put them on a path that ensures a safe future. Our programs run eleven months of the year and we are in constant need of supplies. Items like these are always in demand: canvases, paint, brushes, paper, journals, dye, wood for set designs and art shows as well as materials for our community paint nights.Our not for profit organization is reaching out to you, through Project Art, to help fund us. We appreciate your time in reading this and encourage you to look at our website for further information about what we have, are and will continue to do for our youth and the community.

DescriptionOnce again, inhabitants from the planet Xevious, controlled by the super-computer GAMP, are attacking the Earth, their ancient home planet, willing to re-capture it by force. The SOL towers have emerged from the ground on our planet, remotely controlled by GAMP, aiding the Xevians in their invasion. Only the brave pilots of the Solvalou aircraft are able to avert this new threat!
Super Xevious is a 2D vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up. Power-ups such as bombs, lasers, and shields can be collected; the latter protects the aircraft from immediate destruction if hit by an enemy. Other power-ups for the Solvalou include a rear shot and a bigger lock-on. Some stages are completed by fulfilling certain requirements, rather than simply proceeding, eliminating all enemies; if these are not met, the stage will loop indefinitely, sending progressively harder enemies. These objectives typically include locating and destroying a number of SOL towers; the target sight will flash when it goes over these structures.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to vehicle wheel alignment systems and, more particularly, to image sensors and processors that are used to determine the angles of vehicle wheels and the distances between vehicle wheels.
2. Related Art
Aligning vehicle wheels within specific tolerances is important for optimal control of the vehicle and for consistent wear of the tires. Alignment is performed primarily by adjusting camber, caster, toe, and steering axis inclination. As part of calculating the alignment angles for the vehicle, the angles of the wheels must be determined. The angles can be determined relative to an external reference, such as found in machine vision systems, or relative to the other wheels, such as found in wheel-mounted systems. It is known that these angles can be measured using an electro-optical transducer that incorporates a solid state detector array. In the case of machine vision systems, the detector array may have multiple columns and rows forming an area to capture a two-dimensional image, and in the case of wheel-mounted systems, the detector array may only need to be linear, having a single row with as few as two receptor elements. In either case, the image on the detector must be analyzed meticulously so that accurate alignment angles can be calculated.
Wheel-mounted alignment systems typically have sensor heads on each wheel of the vehicle, and each sensor head has an emitter and a receiver that works in combination with at least one other sensor head along the vehicle's sides and across the vehicle. The receiver units may have photodiodes as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,302,104 or a charge coupled device (CCD) as set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,018,853 and 5,519,489, and the emitter units may have a single source as in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,302,104 and 5,018,853 or multiple sources as in U.S. Pat. No. 5,488,471. Angles and distances are calculated according to the positions of the spots or lines that are detected by the linear arrays.
Machine vision alignment systems typically use a solid state camera with an array detector mounted away from the vehicle to obtain an image of a wheel mounted target. The target incorporates an accurately reproduced pattern that has known control features, as set forth in U.S. application Ser. No. 08/781,284 filed Jan. 10, 1997. The position of the features in the image are found and the orientation of the wheel can be calculated by well known algorithms. Some machine vision systems do not use a predefined target but identify particular geometric features on the wheel or tire, such as projected light stripes or the circular wheel rim, and use the distortion of the geometry to determine positions and orientations.
In wheel alignment systems, the imaging requirements are somewhat different than a standard camera. Very precise measurements must be made at a rate of at least 2 Hz. on static or very nearly static scenes. This requires stable, low-noise images that have excellent focus and contrast. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the precision with which edges, centroids, corners, lines or boundaries can be determined. Methods for analyzing the image must take into account the possible sources of inaccuracy and compensate for them. To obtain these images, current wheel alignment systems use analog receivers that cannot be integrated onto an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with the image processor or the analog to digital converter.
CCD technology has become the dominant method for constructing the solid state receiver arrays. While many alignment systems have been made using CCD elements, the detector has some characteristics that are not ideal for a robust economical product. The CCD element is an expensive component that requires additional support electronics to create a digital output for processing or imaging. It requires a number of timing and control signals as inputs, many of which require different voltages. Supply voltages, clock phases and control signals must be carefully controlled so that extraneous electrical noise is not introduced into the system. The analog output of the CCD element must be converted to a digital format using a separate amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter.
The pixel structure of a CCD element also makes it susceptible to blooming. When light falls on each pixel, photons are converted to electrons which accumulate in the active area of the pixel. If the light is intense or the amount of time the electrons are allowed to accumulate is long, the capacity of the pixel structure to hold the charge will be exceeded. The charge then spills into adjacent pixels and blooming occurs. Most CCD elements have some form of anti-blooming control which minimizes the problem, but it cannot be fully prevented.
There are essentially three different types of CCD structures which may be used in wheel alignment systems, and each type has particular disadvantages. The interline transfer CCD structure has alternating rows or columns of pixels and collectors resulting in a low fill factor and making it susceptible to distortion. Between each row or column of pixels is a row or column for shifting the pixel charge, thereby reducing the photosensitive area to a small percentage of the sensor's total area. This low fill factor may distort intensity profiles, thereby increasing the possibility in machine vision systems that edges and centroids of objects in the image are improperly located. The full frame CCD structure has a high fill factor but requires an external shutter to control the integration time of the device. The extra cost and complexity of the shutter is detrimental for an economical system. A flame transfer CCD structure does not require a shutter and can have very high fill factors but can be susceptible to creating image smear since the exposure is controlled by shifting the entire image into a light protected storage area after the integration time period has elapsed. The shifting process takes place one line at a time so the last line into storage has been shifted through every other line position on the image. The shift is not instantaneous so some new charge is collected with every shift until the light protected area is reached. This smear effect is not usually a problem if the image transfer time is a small fraction of the total integration time. Where system cost is an issue, high flame rates are not possible and the effects of smear must be considered.
Additionally, with all CCD elements, it is not possible to address an individual pixel for read out. If the object of interest only occupies a small portion of the image, it is necessary to read out the entire image before the object can be analyzed. The lack of sub-array read out capability imposes a speed penalty on the system.
As evident from the above discussion, the use of a CCD for an image sensor puts some burdens on the wheel alignment system in terms of electronic design considerations. The result of these restrictions is increased system cost and loss of flexibility.
The present invention was developed to address these problems. Among the objects and features of the present invention is an improved sensor for measuring angles and distances in wheel-mounted alignment systems and positions and orientations in machine vision alignment systems.
A second object of the present invention is to provide such a sensor that it is fabricated by the same process that is used for other common electronic components such as DRAM circuits, and can therefore process images only in a particular region of interest, readout the pixels in a non-destructive or refreshing mode, reduce the time required to process detected images, and integrate additional support electronics into a single, less-expensive integrated circuit package and thereby eliminate any need for multiple input supply voltages.
A third object of the present invention is to provide such a sensor that increases the precision of the detected image by resisting blooming and eliminating smearing.
In one aspect of the present invention, an image sensor for a wheel alignment system includes an integrated circuit having a detector array and an interface bus for communications between the integrated circuit and a computer system. The detector array operates according to an image sensor controller, also formed on the integrated circuit, that communicates with the detector across an internal bus and directs input/output communications for the integrated circuit
In a second aspect of the present invention, a method of reducing cycle time in processed images that are used in a vehicle wheel alignment system includes the steps of receiving an image on a detector array and processing the image in its entirety, identifying a region of interest on the detector array, limiting the sensor read out on subsequent images to only the region of interest, and calculating vehicle wheel alignment based on the image in the region of interest.
Further features and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of various embodiments of the present invention, are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate the embodiments of the present invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a prior art image sensor and computer system for calculating vehicle wheel alignment using a wheel mounted sensor set;
FIG. 2 illustrates a functional block diagram of an image sensor and computer system for calculating vehicle wheel alignment according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates a flow diagram for using the image sensor of FIG. 2 to reduce processing time in calculating vehicle wheel alignment in accordance with another aspect of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 illustrates an operational block diagram of the image sensor of FIG. 2.
Similar reference numbers indicate similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art image sensor used by a computer system to calculate vehicle wheel alignments. In prior art alignment systems, a solid state image sensor 100 is contained within a sensor head 102. Such a sensor head may be mounted on each wheel of the vehicle to work in combination with other sensor units, or the sensor head may be mounted away from the vehicle to view each wheel individually. An image processor unit 104 controls the sensor, and an analog signal 106 from the sensor passes through a signal conditioner 108 and an analog to digital converter 110. The processor receives a digitized image 112 from the converter, calculates the alignment angles using the image information and computational algorithms, and communicates with a console processor 114 to display the wheel alignment information to the user. As discussed above, the image processing illustrated in FIG. 1 must be performed on a separate digital circuit.
Referring to FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. An image 10 is received by a detector array 12 that is formed on an integrated circuit 14. The circuit is fabricated using well known processes such as those for a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). The integrated circuit also contains an image sensor controller 16 that communicates with the detector across an internal bus 18. The controller reads the output from a plurality of pixels 20 that comprise the array and sends signals that control the operation of the array. The controller also directs the input/output 22 for the integrated circuit, including signals for control, data and addresses, as it communicates with an external computer system 24 across an interface bus 26.
Each pixel 20 in the array has an address defined by its column 28 and row 30 in the array, incorporating one or more transistors at each site. Long exposure times or high intensity lights do not cause blooming because each pixel in the image detector is electronically isolated from the neighboring pixel and the excess charge of a saturated transistor bleeds into the integrated circuit's substrate. A single row 32 forms a linear detector array, and multiple rows 34 form a two dimensional detector array. The image sensor controller 16 can define the pixel addresses to be read, making it possible to scan the sensor only in a region of interest (ROI) 36. There is no image smear because each pixel is read at its address and there is no need to transfer the charge from the pixel to another register for output.
In addition to preventing smearing, the present invention uses the addressable scanning capabilities of the integrated circuit to reduce the error in the scanned image with more efficiency and speed and with less cost than possible with the prior art devices described above. One source of error inherent in all imaging devices is counting or Poisson noise, and this error is best reduced by averaging multiple images of the same scene. Prior art devices must read out the entire image before averaging can be performed on even a portion of the image. The present invention can more efficiently process a particular region of interest (ROI) 36, such as the portion of the detector array 12 corresponding to the target or emitter source. The sub-array scan capability of the CMOS image sensor greatly reduces the processing burden and enhances the rate at which measurements can be made. In prior art systems, image averaging must be done by an off-chip processor or host computer, but image averaging could be accomplished on-chip using the integrated circuit design.
Referring to FIG. 3, the first image is received and processed in its entirety in step 70. Either the integrated circuit or the computer system identifies a ROI on the detector that corresponds with the target image or emitter source image in step 72. The detector receives additional images; subsequent scans of the detector are limited to the ROI and processing is limited to the ROI in step 74. The ROI of multiple images are processed and the average processed image 76 is then used to calculate a wheel alignment in step 78. The entire process can be repeated automatically or can be manually reset.
Referring to FIG. 4, particular operations of the image sensor controller 16 and additional benefits of an integrated circuit 14 are now presented. An analog to digital converter 50 and a signal conditioning element 48 can be incorporated onto the integrated circuit, thereby decreasing the need for peripheral electronic elements. Additionally, image sensor logic 52 and a processor 54 can be programmed to create an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Depending on the ASIC, the processor can include a digital signal processor, a micro-processor, and/or a micro-controller processor. One such ASIC can be designed to calculate orientation and position in a machine vision alignment system, and another ASIC can be designed to calculate angles and positions in a wheel-mounted alignment system. The ASIC design allows for calculation of the wheel alignment within the image sensor itself using the same computational algorithms that are found in current image-based wheel alignment systems. These chips can be updated or replaced as integrated circuit technology increases processing speeds and improves image resolution.
The digital signal processor's logic can be programmed to identify the ROI 36 which is then communicated on the internal bus and read by the image sensor controller. The image sensor logic limits further read outs of the detector array 12 to the ROI 36 by directing the row decoder 58 and the column decoder 60 to obtain data from only those pixel addresses that comprise the ROI. The micro-processor can work with the digital signal processor for image averaging functions. The micro-controller processor can control the information sent to an off-chip processor or host computer and may even be able to stop the digital signal processor from processing an entire image if the ROI is identified in the first image.
Another desirable feature of the integrated circuit image sensor is the ability to operate with a single input supply voltage 56. This is of most importance in portable devices but offers significant advantages for fixed installations because of the simplified circuitry requirements. The integrated circuit also uses much less power than a typical equivalent CCD imager. These properties decrease the amount of internal heating that must be considered when building a precision camera. The heating can distort the image by moving or warping the optics and mounting hardware of the imaging device. Heat can establish convection currents which can create index of refraction variations in the air spaces of the optical system and induce random distortions into the image. By keeping the power dissipation as low as possible the thermal aspects of the camera design become more manageable and allow economic solutions.
Further system simplification can be accomplished by taking advantage of the many types of computer interfaces that are possible with an image sensor that is formed on an integrated circuit The image data can be transferred to a host computer by an on-chip direct parallel, universal serial bus (USB), or IEEE 1394 interface. This eliminates the need for a frame grabber which reduces cost and complexity. The image can be transferred to memory, such as under direct memory access (DMA) where it is immediately available for analysis by the system processor. The memory and processor can be located either in the sensor itself or in the external computer system. Additionally, in wheel alignment systems using multiple integrated circuit image sensors, the sensors can communicate with each other through their respective communication links to the computer system. Alternatively or in addition to the communication links with the computer system, communication links can be established between the sensors themselves. In view of the foregoing, it will be seen that the several advantages of the invention are achieved and attained.
The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. As various modifications could be made in the constructions and methods herein described and illustrated without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative rather than limiting. For example, the pixels can be read destructively or non-destructively, and if further integration is required, the integrated circuit may be formed to include a NTSC encoder, a color processor, an electronic shutter function, and/or automatic gain control. Single chip cameras which incorporate some or all of these features are being produced by Photobit, Hyundai Electronics, Elec Vision and others. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims appended hereto and their equivalents.

If the keratitis is caused by herpes simplex or the herpes zoster virus that causes shingles, your doctor will prescribe antiviral eye drops or an antiviral oral medication or both. Bacterial keratitis needs to be treated with antibiotics. Depending on the severity of the infection, an oral antibiotic may be prescribed along with an antibiotic ointment or eye drops.
Artificial tears for lubrication usually are effective for keratitis related to ocular dryness. Keratitis caused by an autoimmune disease is often treated with topical corticosteroid eye drops. Also treating the underlying disease helps the keratitis heal with less chance of recurrence.

Released: Feb 01st, 1999
Running Time: 105
Director: Bud Lee
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
Distribution Companies: PHE
Cast: Danielle Rogers, Taylor Moore, Jennifer Worthington, Alec Metro, Tina Tyler, Tony Tedeschi, Mandi Frost, Steve Hatcher, Alexandra Silk, Elle DeVyne, Randy Spears
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Although possibly too talky for some viewers, couples and those who enjoy a bit of philosophy and psychology with their sex should enjoy it.
Tina Tyler plays a gorgeous but confused therapist who's frustrated by her ability to help her clients deal with their sexual dysfunction while she's running from her own. For a video that relies so heavily upon dialogue, the sound levels are very low. Fortunately, the visuals are wonderful, especially a threeway hot tub scene in which Tony Tedeschi looks like a savage blue Hindu god. Although the concept is somewhat predictable, this is a sexy, intelligent video with great performances by all involved.

Firefighters make quick work of Clarendon blazeStaff Report | December 06,2013CLARENDON - Firefighters from three towns responded to a chimney fire that was put out before it could do much damage to a home on Route 7B North in Clarendon.
A corner of the home at 614 Route 7B was in flames when firefighters arrived at the scene around 8:30 p.m. Friday, according to Clarendon Fire Chief Norman Flanders.
However, despite a pump malfunction on one of the Clarendon fire engines that required assistance from departments in Rutland City and Wallingford, the blaze was quickly brought under control.
No one was injured in the fire. Damage to the home appeared to be minimal.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

The home side resumed on 515 for eight and added 57 more in good time before being bowled out for 572 - a daunting lead of 192.
By the interval, Michael Clarke's men were 34 for one after Watson was dismissed at the last possible moment by Ravichandran Ashwin.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, scorer of an unforgettable double century on day three, was finally out for 224 when he nicked James Pattinson to Matthew Wade at the wicket.
But if Australia thought their work in the field was done, India had other ideas as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma added 26 more for the last wicket.
The debutant Kumar finished with 38 before Peter Siddle wrapped things up.
Pattinson's five for 96 was by some distance the best return on an otherwise messy bowling card.
Australia faced a tough challenge on a pitch that had started to turn plentifully and were given a further obstacle when David Warner was deemed too ill to open.
Watson replaced him in his old position and he, along with Ed Cowan, was confronted by spin at both ends from the off.
Ashwin struck with the final ball of the session, finding the shoulder of Watson's bat and seeing a simple catch swallowed by Virender Sehwag.

The Many Faces of a Liar's Confession: Lance Armstrong With Oprah Winfrey
Expressive screen shots from last night's interview.
His persistent poker face had many of us fooled, but last night Lance Armstrong delivered his doping mea culpa directly to Oprah Winfrey. He twitched and grimaced, but did not cry, even in the face of questions that got as detailed as — "You would all be dumping the syringes in coke cans, is that true?" — or as uncomfortable as — "You used the whore word [against ex-masseuse Emma O'Reilly, who Armstrong sued, knowing she was telling the truth]. How do you feel about that?" Oprah also had Lance Armstrong watch his taped denials from the past, upping the squirm factor. Catch his reactions straight ahead.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

Speak your truth to both. Not awkward at all. Just keep the things only you need to know to yourself. I mean, tell her you don't feel the spark/magic and want to keep it as friends with her. (But DON'T tell her it is because you think she's annoying.)
Tell Him/Call Her:
"Hi! I've been feeling a bit stressy about the weekend so I wanted to touch base to make sure all are on the same page and communication is clear.
You know I think of you (Cancer) as a friend right? I'm happy for you to date each other (Cancer + Libra), but on our tier of relationship -- we're just friends. Thanks for sharing your text -- but really I just like you as a friend. Let's keep it there.
So this weekend my date is Scorpio. I wanted that to be clear for the weekend since we are all at the same bar. You'd be going to see Cancer. I'm there with Scorpio. If that is awkward for anyone -- we best talk about it now and change date venues to accommodate needs, or if it is all cool, great! It is all cool.
Did you need a ride home? I wanted to ask to get the travel logistics down and get that clear too.
Did you need any clarifications from me? I'm looking forward to seeing you guys there."

2008 Clinton Praises Gregoire
posted by October 3 at 12:05 PMon
The Clinton campaign is keeping an eye on Washington State. Using Bush's veto today of a bill to expand state health insurance programs for children as the opportunity, it sent me a press release decrying the veto and praising Gov. Gregoire's decision to sue the federal government over new restrictions on children's health insurance.
Release in the jump…
Hillary Clinton today criticized President Bushs veto of bipartisan legislation that would have provided millions of additional children with health care, and applauded Washingtons lawsuit to hold the Administration accountable.
"With the stroke of a pen, President Bush has robbed nearly four million uninsured children of the chance for a healthy start in life and the health coverage they need but can't afford. These children are invisible to this president, but they aren't invisible to the American people or to the overwhelming bipartisan majority in Congress and they aren't invisible to me.
"I was proud to help create the Children's Health Insurance Program during the Clinton Administration, which today provides health insurance for six million children. And I will continue to fight to provide health insurance to all children as I have proposed in the Senate and to pursue quality, affordable health care for all Americans. No child should be invisible in our country or in our health care system.
I applaud Washington for its efforts to hold the Bush Administration accountable. Governors and state legislatures across the country are trying hard to cover their children, but are getting no help from this Administration. President Bush has been making it harder for states to provide coverage to families that need help. Its time for the President to stop playing politics with childrens health care.

Edlib News Network ENN, File, Associated Press
BEIRUT — Al-Qaida's branch in Iraq said it has merged with Syria's extremist Jabhat al-Nusra, a move that shows the rising confidence of radicals within the Syrian rebel movement and is likely to trigger renewed fears among its international backers.
A website linked to Jabhat al-Nusra confirmed on Tuesday the merger with the Islamic State of Iraq, whose leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, first made the announcement in a 21-minute audio message posted on militant websites late Monday.
Jabhat al-Nusra has taken an ever-bigger role in Syria's conflict over the last year, fighting in key battles and staging several large suicide bombings. The U.S. has designated it a terrorist organization.
The Syrian group has made little secret of its ideological ties to the global jihadist movement and its links across the Iraqi border, but until now it has not officially declared itself to be part of al-Qaida.
Al-Baghdadi said that his group — the Islamic State of Iraq — and Syria's Jabhat al-Nusra will now be known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
"It is time to announce to the Levantine people and the whole world that Jabhat al-Nusra is merely an extension and part of the Islamic State of Iraq," he said.
He said that the Iraqi group was providing half of its budget to the conflict in Syria. Al-Baghdadi said that the Syrian group would have no separate leader but instead be led by the "people of Syria themselves" — implying that he would be in charge in both countries.
The formal merger of such a high-profile Syrian rebel group to al-Qaida is likely to spark concerns among backers of the opposition who are enemies of the global terror network, including both Western countries and Gulf Arab states.
It may increase resentment of Jabhat al-Nusra among other rebel factions. Rebels have until now respected the radical group's fighters for their prowess on the battlefield, but a merger with al-Qaida will complicate any effort to send arms to rebels from abroad.
A website linked to Jabhat al-Nusra known as al-Muhajir al-Islami — the Islamic emigrant — confirmed the merger.
The authenticity of neither message could be independently confirmed, but statements posted on major militant websites are rarely disputed by extremist groups afterward.
Jabhat al-Nusra emerged as an offshoot of Iraq's al-Qaida branch in early 2012, as one of a patchwork of disparate rebel groups in Syria.
One of the most dramatic attacks by the group came on March 4, when 48 Syrian soldiers were killed in a well-coordinated ambush after seeking refuge across the frontier in Iraq following clashes with rebels on the Syrian side of the border. The attack occurred in Iraq's restive western province of Anbar, where al-Qaida is known to be active.
A top Iraqi intelligence official told The Associated Press in Baghdad that they have always known that "al-Qaida in Iraq is directing Jabhat al-Nusra."
He said they announced their unity because of "political, logistical and geographical circumstance." The official said Iraqi authorities will take "strict security measures to strike them."
In an editorial published Tuesday in the Washington Post, Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned that a "Syria controlled in whole or part by al-Qaeda and its affiliates — an outcome that grows more likely by the day — would be more dangerous to both our countries than anything we've seen up to now."
Iraqi officials say the jihadi groups are sharing three military training compounds, logistics, intelligence and weapons as they grow in strength around the Syria-Iraq border, particularly in a sprawling region called al-Jazeera, which they are trying to turn into a border sanctuary they can both exploit. It could serve as a base of operations to strike either side of the border.
