The Wildcats are 3-2 overall and battling to stay abreast of the competition in the Big 12 North. After upsetting Texas in Austin in their opening conference game, K-State dropped a 30-24 game to instate rival Kansas at home last week.
CU defensive tackle George Hypolite expects a typical Kansas State offensive line on Saturday. That means a physically tough unit.
"I was baptized in college football at Kansas State," Hypolite said Wednesday. "I remember my first game at Manhattan, I spinned a guy and thought I had a sack, and a tackle came and cleaned me up. He decleated me for about five yards.
"That's what they do. They're physical and they pride themselves on that. I'm sure that's what their coaches teach."
What's been different about this Kansas State team this year, though, is they haven't established the run game like years past. KSU is averaging just 109 yards a game on the ground, 10th in the Big 12. Instead, they've tried to rely on the passing game, centered around sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman.
The KSU offensive line has given up just four sacks all year. But Freeman's been pressured into some bad throws. He's thrown seven picks. Getting pressure will be key for the Buffs on Saturday.
Hypolite has three sacks heading into the game.
"You never can be happy with the pressure you're getting," he said. "You have to keep getting after the quarterback. If we let quarterbacks sit back and have six seconds to look around, any defense is going to get torched.
"It's going to be another tough job for us, but we're used to it by now."
• Tight end Tyson DeVree spent last Saturday at home listening to his teammates beat Baylor in Waco. Though he was wearing a blue (no contact) jersey in practice Wednesday, DeVree, who has four touchdowns this season, will play at Kansas State this weekend.
"I'm back to 100 percent," he said after Wednesday's practice. "My legs are fresh since I had that week off from practice. They're just being careful with the head. But I'm full go."
Of K-State's defense, DeVree said, "They've got some good solid players, a lot of guys that can run. It'll be a good matchup. They're a lot like our defense, they can run and can hit."
• Chase McBride's status for Saturday's game is still up in the air. Stephone Robinson will likely return punts if McBride is not cleared to play.

Looking at options trading activity among components of the Russell 3000 index, there is noteworthy activity today in Caesars Entertainment Corp , where a total volume of 5,885 contracts has been traded thus far today, a contract volume which is representative of approximately 588,500 underlying shares (given that every 1 contract represents 100 underlying shares). That number works out to 50% of CZR's average daily trading volume over the past month, of 1.2 million shares.
These stocks trading for less than $10 a share are within range of triggering big breakout trades. Here's how to trade them from here.
Caesars (CZR) said it will provide $1.2 billion for its bankrupt parent company's reorganization plan, but the offer must be accepted by midnight Friday.
Investors in Caesars Entertainment Corp saw new options begin trading this week, for the November 18th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the CZR options chain for the new November 18th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The most recent short interest data has been released for the 08/31/2016 settlement date, which shows a 1,430,850 share decrease in total short interest for Caesars Entertainment Corp , to 12,201,533, a decrease of 10.50% since 08/15/2016. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded.

Outfitting Your Entryway for Cold Weather
1. First things first: Keep the the dirt, rain and snow outside. Having a doormat is not only a necessity in the winter, but it also adds a decorative touch to the outside of your door step. I loved this colorful mat as seen on Manolo Home, with its Autumnal colors and nature motif. 2. Having a coat rack in the entry way allows us to hang our hats, jackets, heavy coats and even umbrellas leaving the cold weather layers at our door. It's also quite handy when you need to run out for just a moment whether it's for the morning paper or to the corner store. I loved this multi-functional rack as seen on B Gallery's website. 3. Nothing is more cozy and warms up your toes faster than fuzzy slippers. These sheepskin and suede slippers are designed for indoor and outdoor wear with a full treaded sole on the bottoms. Again, keeping these close to the door at your entry way, will make for a nice transition at the end of the day. 4. Most entry ways depending if you're living in a full house or apartment, are floored with hardwood or linoleum. You can easily warm up with a runner or entryway floor rug. Thus adding another color or pattern to your home for fun decoration. 5. If you have a formal entry way foyer, a bench like the Hemnes Ikea bench would come in handy every day. Not only does the seat lift up for incredible storage, but it makes a great quick seating option for putting on your shoes or even an extra place to put down your bags and purse when you walk in the door. 6. If you make room for entry way seating or a bench, why not make it even more comfy (and colorful) with some fun bench cushions. I loved these striped ones from Ikea. 7. Whether you're in a cosmopolitan city or a small farm town, if it snows or pours rain you want to invest in some good rain boots. I know, I know, this is more of a fashion accessory- however when I lived in SF, my rain boots were also a staple at the foot of my doorway. Taking out the trash, running to the market, walking the dog or even going out for the afternoon- all can be daunting on your feet in cold wet weather. Why not have a fun and comfy option to slip into and out of it in seconds. Love these red wellington boots by J.Crew! 8. One feature I love in formal entryway spaces are mounted shelves like this one from Target. Not only do you have the advantage of shelving and hooks, but it's a great alternative to a formal coat rack. This could be an easier option for those with limited space. 9. You may not have central heat, but investing in a good (and safe) space heater is always smart. I have this radiator inspired heater that cooks the room slowly and is insulated with oil in the piping. It's a lot safer than the ones that spin out hot air from a red electric flame. Having a heater close to your entryway will help you warm up faster. 10. If you have the space, keeping a blanket in the entryway could come in useful. Why not? Who doesn't want to come home to warm fleece after they've ridden the subway for thirty minutes and walked in the snow? Images in top gallery: 1. Crate and Barrel, 2. Tell Your Interior Decorator, 3.

Constance Fenimore Woolson's second novel East Angels was serialized in Harper's New Monthly Magazine between January 1885 and May 1886 and published in book form in New York and London in 1886. Regarded by many as Woolson's best full-length work, East Angels is set in the sleepy Spanish settlement of Gracias-á-Dios, Florida, a fictional recreation of St. Augustine, the resort where the author wintered for a number of years before moving to Europe in 1879. Although it presents many characters, the novel is essentially the story of two women, the southern, quarter-Spanish Garda Thorne and the northern Margaret Harold, who represent diametrically opposing types. Garda is an exceptionally beautiful girl who lives with …

Size & Fit Details
Gemma flats
Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 88 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Emma Love the style I've been watching for JCrew to make another pointy flat ever since they stopped carrying the Viv, so I bought these shoes. They are just as cute in person, and they fit true to size. However, I'm disappointed that they are flimsy, like a cheap ballet flat. They don't have the substantial, soft, Italian leather of other flats, like the Viv. I wanted these for work, and I do think I will keep them, but I'm not sure they'll last very long. July 31, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Missy1544 Disappointed I was so excited about these shoes, I ordered them in two colors. They are beautiful and so stylish. However, they are extremely flimsy and have almost no padding in the sole. Not what I expect for this price point. I am returning them. August 1, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by enc1 Cute--if you have wide feet I love the look of these online, but they're really wide, so they won't work for me. Also, the yellow has a green undertone. July 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marci Fashionistas Rejoice! Love these shoes. As a big footed tall woman, I can't have enough ballet flats. I ordered the 10.5 and the 10 and I'm sticking with the 10. It's slightly roomy but I don't think I could go to the 9.5. I will put in a cushion or something and know they won't stretch out and take the shape of my foot. Get. Them. August 7, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by frenchiemom13 Rhubarb Flats! This is a great little flat and comfy from the first wearing. I have worn them several times and get compliments on them each time (I bought the rhubarb color and it is lovely). The only thing I am a little disappointed in is the quality - not at all like my JCrew ballet flats from many years ago. November 18, 2015

This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/GB2006/000147 filed 17 Jan. 2006 which designated the U.S. and claims priority to GB 0501199.4 filed 21 Jan. 2005, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to radio-frequency (RF) tags which are capable of being detected by an external electric field and in particular to RF tags which can be formed on a single side of a substrate. Such tags are frequently used for Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) to detect unauthorised articles being removed from enclosed areas such shops or libraries.
One bit RF tags typically comprise a tuned circuit having inductive and capacitor components. A "gate" is arranged at the exit to the enclosed area and coils within the gate generate an electrical field at the resonant frequency of the tag. If the tag passes through the gate the field is disrupted and circuitry attached to the gate detects this disruption and generates a signal which may trigger an alarm. In practice the gate frequency commonly scans frequencies around the expected resonant frequency to allow for manufacturing variation in the tag.
To permit authorised removal the tag is de-activated. For example tags on goods are deactivated at the point of sale, so that only goods which have not been paid for activate the alarm.
Known RF tags commonly comprise as the inductive element an antenna coil, typically of a metal such as aluminium or copper. This may be formed on the dielectric substrate by coating the substrate with a metal, applying an etch resist in the pattern of the desired coil and etching away the remaining metal. The etch resist pattern also includes a conducting area electrically connected to the antenna which acts as one plate of the capacitor. On the opposite side of the substrate there is applied, by a similar technique, the second plate of the capacitor substantially aligned with the first plate and connected by a conducting track to a point on the second side of the substrate aligned with the end of the antenna remote from the first plate on the first side of the substrate. An electrical connection is then made between the two sides of the substrate either at the edge or via a through-hole to complete the inductance/capacitance circuit. This through-connection may be made by any conventional means such as soldering, but may simply be effected by crimping the two aluminium tracks so that they form a sound electrical contact.
Alternatively it is known from U.S. Pat. No. 6,373,387 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,407,669 to form the tag on one side of a flexible substrate which is then folded, with a dielectric material in between, to bring into alignment the two capacitor plates. This requires a costly further processing step of aligning and folding the substrate to co-locate the respective capacitor plates. Such a folding step is likely to cause stress to the metal on the surface of the substrate.
It is also known from U.S. Pat. No. 6,693,541 that an antenna connected to a first capacitor plate and two connector pads, joined respectively to the antenna and capacitor plate can be formed on one side of a substrate. A conducting bridging portion, which forms the second capacitor plate, can be fixed over the circuit, connecting the two connection pads. The bridging portion covers part of the antenna and the entire capacitor plate. The conducting bridge must be prepared in a separate process step, and in order to function it is required to contain electrically conducting regions and electrically insulated regions This requires a costly further production step of the bridging portions, and also further alignment and fixing process steps.
RF tags are produced in large numbers and consequently to keep manufacturing costs to a minimum are manufactured such that the general substrate is also used as the dielectric layer which separates the two metal capacitor plates. Whilst this cleverly utilises the materials it also adds to process complexity and cost by having to process both sides of the substrate. It is also necessary to make through-hole connections in the substrate to connect to both of the capacitor plates to form the circuit.
There is therefore a requirement for an RF tag which can be manufactured without depositing conducting material either side of the substrate.
Therefore in the present invention methods are described and illustrated where the construction of a complete RFID tag can be achieved on one side of a substrate.
According to the present invention there is provided an RF tag comprising;
The first conductive layer may contain at least one connection means to electrically connect to a second conducting layer.
The inductive coil may be located on either the first or second conducting layer or both. The inductive coil provides the LC circuit with the required inductance and also functions as the antenna to receive and interact with the transmitted RF radiation. The first conducting layer will normally also include the first effective plate of the capacitor forming part of the resonant circuit.
Of particular importance is that the dielectric in RF capacitors must have a low dissipation factor to reduce signal losses, thus making the selection of substrate somewhat limited. For example polyalkenes and other low water absorbing, non-polar plastics are suitable as dielectrics but may cause problems in their print receptiveness or cause stretching when processed reel to reel and as such do not make ideal substrates.
The connection means, which electrically joins the first and second conducting layers, may comprise a co-locating electrical and mechanical means such as male and female connector. Conveniently, the connection means is an area of the first conducting layer which does not have any dielectric layer deposited thereon, typically, such as part of the inductive coil to which part of the second conducting layer can be electrically joined. This connection may be formed by the direct overlapping of conductive inks printed on top of each other. Preferably the connection means is made without the need for a through-hole connection through the substrate and/or dielectric.
The advantage is that when the connection means is formed by the deposition of part of the second conducting layer onto part of the first conducting layer that there are no further processing steps required to complete the circuit. Additional processing steps of folding, crimping or the alignment of subsequent layers takes further time and costly manufacturing steps.
Alternatively the layers may be connected by soldering, electrical adhesives, spot welding, embossing, or by depositing electroless metal onto a seed ink. Conveniently to ensure a good electrical connection between the two conducting layers, the area of contact may be increased by using a protrusion or enlarged area, to create a sufficient contact area.
The dielectric layer may substantially envelope the capacitor plate and the inductive coil in the first layer, preferably the dielectric will cover substantially all of the circuit, provided that the connection means is not covered. The dielectric layer provides a means of electrically isolating the first conductive layer from the second conducting layer and together with part or all of the two conducting layers forms the capacitor of the tuned circuit.
Alternatively, the dielectric may be deposited directly onto the substrate substantially in the pattern of the circuit, by any known pattern transfer mechanism. Conveniently the dielectric may be in the form of a printable ink, which may be deposited by known means. The advantage of depositing the dielectric layer, rather than using the substrate as the dielectric, is that there are an increased number of substrate materials which are available to use. In the manufacture of prior art RF tags the substrates are selected to be rugged, to sufficiently support the circuit and also act as a dielectric. Therefore cheaper and/or more rugged materials may be selected for use as substrates.
Therefore a dielectric may be selected which possesses a low dissipation factor. A further advantage of depositing a dielectric layer comes from the reduced thickness of a deposited or printed dielectric layer compared to the typical thickness of a substrate. The reduction in thickness of the dielectric increases the capacitance value of the deposited capacitor. Therefore this enables capacitor plates with reduced areas to be used to achieve the same values of capacitance. This may lead to a decrease in the overall area of the RF tag.
The dielectric layer may be selected from any suitable insulator material; such materials may be non conducting salts such as for example, inorganic salts or organic salts, organic polymers or composites thereof. Alternatively, the dielectric layer may comprise a metal oxide formed by the oxidation of part of the metal which forms the first conducting layer. In yet a further alternative other non conducting salts derived from the metal of the first conducting layer may be used, such as, for example, halides or oxides. There may optionally be deposited a further dielectric polymer on the metal oxide or metal salt surface.
An organic polymer may be selected from any polymerisable material, preferably the polymer is selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, poly para-xylylene sold under trade name Parylene�, (bis)benzocyclobutene sold under trade name Cyclotene� and polyimides. Conveniently waxes or other monomer or oligomer precursor materials that can be formed into solid polymer layers through UV polymerisation and/or cross-linking may be used. Low dissipation factor polymers may also form blends with less suitable polymers provided the polymer with the low dissipation factor comprises a substantial part of the blend.
The dielectric layer may be deposited at any suitable thickness. Conveniently, the thickness is selected to provide electrical insulation between the first and second conducting layers; preferably the thickness is in the range of from 0.1 microns to 50 microns.
In a preferred arrangement part of the circuit may also contain a means of deactivation comprising a portion of a switch composition whose conducting properties may be changed from an insulating state to a conducting state when the tag is subjected to a strong electric field at or around its resonant frequency (as described in co-pending PCT GB2005/004264).
The switch composition typically comprises a binder and a plurality of conducting particles having an insulating surface layer, wherein substantially all of said particles are in contact with adjacent particles, such that when subjected to an electrical potential, break down of the insulating surface layer creates a conducting path.
The switch composition may be contained within an ink formulation such that it may be deposited by a known pattern transfer mechanism. The switch composition will be located in the circuit such that during normal use the RF tag operates as required, but upon a deactivating stimulus being applied the circuit is caused to short and deactivate the tag or change its resonant frequency.
The switch composition may be located between conducting tracks or may form part of a further connection means between the first and second conducting layers, such as, for example, between the first and second capacitor plates by-passing the inductive coil. In an alternative arrangement the switch composition may be applied over two or more of the coils, such that upon activation the coils are shorted therefore altering the resonant frequency of the tag.
A further advantage of printing a means of deactivation, such as, for example, a switch composition is that there are no additional processing steps required for creating the commonly used deactivation method of employing a weak link in the dielectric layer. The use of the switch composition allows for the manufacture of a complete RF tag by using only deposition means, this minimises the requirement of further mechanical processing steps.
The second conducting layer comprises a second capacitor plate deposited on the dielectric layer which is substantially co-located above the first capacitor plate. The second layer further comprises a connection means to electrically connect to the first conducting layer. In an alternative arrangement the second conducting layer may comprise an inductive coil, this may be in addition to or instead of the inductive coil on the first layer.
The first and second conducting layers may be selected from any suitable electrically conducting material, preferably the material is a metal, metal alloy or carbon, more preferably a metal. The metal may preferably be selected from Cu, Ni, Al, Sn, Au or Ag.
The conducting layers may be deposited in any required thickness suitably in the range of from 0.1 microns to 50 microns.
The deposition technique used for creating the metallic circuit pattern for the first and second layer may be the same or different.
The electrical circuit pattern required for the first conducting layer, such as the connection means, capacitor plate and the inductive coil may be formed directly on the substrate by depositing the conductive material by a pattern transfer mechanism. The methods of depositing metals by a pattern transfer process are known. For example the metal may be deposited as a conductive ink, or such print transfer process may be employed to deposit a seed layer and provide subsequent electroless deposited and optionally electroplated metal tracks and deposits onto the substrate.
In an alternative arrangement the first conducting layer may be deposited substantially over the entire area of the substrate or a substrate which is pre-coated with a thin metal film may be used. The first conducting layer may then be patterned by scribing for example with an ion beam or laser.
Alternatively the dielectric may then be in the form of a printable ink which is deposited directly onto the substrate by a pattern transfer process in the pattern of, the connection means, capacitor plate and the inductive coil, by a pattern transfer mechanism. The dielectric may be selected such that it is capable of forming an etch resist suitable for use in standard photo-resist techniques. The dielectric/etch resist will then allow, by known techniques, the removal of those parts of the conducting layer which is not coated with the dielectric, to form the printed circuit components. Alternatively a known etch resist may be used to create the pattern by known photo-resist techniques, and the dielectric applied to the patterned circuit.
Suitable pattern transfer processes for the deposition of material to form the first and second conductive layers and, where appropriate, the dielectric layer include inkjet or bubble-jet printing, lithography, gravure, xerography, laser printing, tampo printing, silk screen printing or other printing techniques well known in the art.
The second conductive layer may be coated with an inert material to prevent the conducting layer from being damaged. Conveniently the inert material may be a further dielectric material or further substrate material.
The specific design of the inductive coil (antenna) is not critical to the invention, for example the number of coils, their width and thickness may be varied depending on the value of inductance required. Similarly the thickness and area of the capacitor plate may be selected to provide the desired capacitance. For example depending on the thickness and dissipation factor of the dielectric layer the capacitor plates may be small and may be formed from a part of the inductive coil. Other design parameter may vary to achieve the required electrical characteristics.
Alternatively, part of the circuit may be formed by etch resist techniques and other parts of the circuit may be formed by pattern transfer of a conductive ink directly to the substrate. For example, the inductive coil may be formed by an etching process then a conductive ink printed to form the first capacitor plate on the same side.
During the etch procedure it may be possible that minor defects form in the etch/dielectric layer due to the corrosive nature of the solution. Conveniently a further dielectric layer may be deposited on the first dielectric etching layer to effectively seal the original dielectric layer. The etch resist layer itself may also comprise a dielectric with a low dissipation factor.
Typically such RF tags will be preferably produced in large numbers, clearly in those circumstances it may be preferable to use high throughput printing methods.
In a preferred embodiment both the first and second conducting layers are formed by the additive deposition of seed layers and electroless deposition and optionally electrodeposition. This provides the advantage of reel to reel type processes where layers are successively built up without removal of the RF tag assembly from the processing line.
The substrate may be selected from any suitable non conducting material which can support a metal film or can accept a metal seed layer. The substrate need not be such a good insulator as the dielectric layer. The substrate should be chemically inert to both the metal and the processing techniques. The substrate may be rigid or flexible and will be selected depending on the final application of the RF tag. The substrate may conveniently be substantially all or part an article which is to be protected by an RF security tag, such that the article is prepared with the RF tag already located within the article. The material may be selected from any polymer, man made or nature fibre, such as, for example, cloth, paper products, ceramics etc.
In a second aspect of the present invention is provided a substrate carrying at least two RF tags according to the current invention. For example there may be one RF tag on each side of the substrate. This is particularly useful if the tag is used in an environment where there are two different RF frequency fields. Conveniently, the RF tag circuits on either side of the substrate are selected to have different resonant frequencies. In an alternative arrangement the RF tags may be built up in successive layers on only on side of the substrate, by applying an insulating layer over the second conducting layer and then a further first conducting layer, dielectric layer and second conducting layer to form the second tag. This process may be repeated to produce any number of tags sequentially deposited on one or both sides of the original substrate.
According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided a method of producing an RF tag comprising the steps of;
applying to one surface of an electrically non-conductive substrate material a first conducting layer in a predetermined pattern by a pattern transfer mechanism;
applying a dielectric layer over and at least partially covering the first conducting layer;
According to a fourth aspect of the invention there is provided a method of producing an RF tag comprising the steps of;
In an alternative arrangement the step of oxidising the surface may be replaced by a step of converting the surface of said first conducting layer to a substantially non conducting salt, as hereinbefore defined, such as, for example, to a halide.
According to a fifth aspect of the invention there is provided the use of an RF tag according to the invention as hereinbefore described in combination with an RF transmitter and receiver tuned to the resonant frequency of the RF tag, wherein the tag is securely fastened to a body to be monitored, such that in use the location of said tag is detected by the RF receiver.
The RF tag may be fastened to any body, such as for example, consumer items, including clothes, electrical goods, books etc. Further examples, may include tracking devices, such as for car identification, for instance, allowing cars to pass through toll gates or car parks. Alternatively the devices may be secured to an item of clothing or secured to a person, to track people's movement within a controlled area. Particularly for monitoring the movements of children/babies within a secure environment. Alternatively, it may be used to monitor the movements of people to prevent them entering/leaving a defined environment or coming within a predefined distance of an individual.
RF Tags in accordance with the various aspects of the invention may be arranged to be de-activated by the application of an RF field by arranging for a weakness in the dielectric layer (as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,567,473), by providing a fusible link within the circuit (as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,967,161 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,385,524), or by including at a suitable point in the circuit a switch composition which is rendered conducting by the action of the RF field as hereinbefore described or other methods known in the art and the disclosure of these patents and applications is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention will be further described with reference to the enclosed drawings in which:
It may be desirable to remove sufficient metal from the edges of the etch profile to leave a protrusion of dielectric. This may be used to prevent for example a printed electrically conductive ink from shorting to the second conducting layer (not shown). Alternatively a second dielectric ink may be printed to seal the pattern (not shown) prior to subsequent deposition of a further conducting layer. Both the etch resist dielectric layer and any subsequent dielectric layer may conveniently comprise materials with a low dissipation factor.
A second embodiment of this method uses a second printed layer of dielectric ink to overlay parts of the coil 5, to form an insulating bridge from the edge of the capacitor plate and up to but not including the exposed metal in the corner.
Conveniently a plurality of catalytic ink patterns 30 may be deposited onto the surface of the substrate 31.
It may be desirable to add an adhesion promoter (not shown) to the dielectric layer 33 to improve adhesion of the second conducting layer 37.
An electrical connection, preferably in the form of a (busbar)track 39 connects the capacitor plate 38 to the connection means 36 to complete the electrical circuit. Capacitor plate 38 may be the same size or different size than the first capacitor plate 34. There may be one or more capacitor plates in the first and second conducting layers. Conveniently if the first conducting layer 32 is substantially electrically insulated from the second conducting layer 37 (apart from the connection means 36) then the deposit which forms second capacitor plate 38 and electrical track 39, may substantially cover the entire area of the inductive coil 35 (
A screen printing ink (supplied under the trade mark Acheson 6018S) was used as the ink formulation, to which was added titanium dioxide 2 μm at 30% by weight as a filler and silver nitrate 3% by weight. The silver nitrate was pre-dissolved in an aliquot of ethyl lactate/water to aid the transfer and mixing with the screen printing ink. The ink composition was screen printed onto one side of a sheet of polyester in the design of a "checkpoint�" system electronic article surveillance, (EAS), 1-bit tag.
The ink was cured by heating the sample to 80� C. for 10 minutes, causing the ink composition to solidify and adhere to the substrate. At this stage the ink had no electrical conductivity. The printed pattern of cured ink was then immersed into a solution of commercially available Enthone 2130� electroless copper at 46� C. and copper metal deposited to a thickness in the range of from 0.1 to 2 microns onto the printed pattern. An effective EAS tag requires greater than 2 microns of metal owing to low absorption of electromagnetic energy at this frequency and the electrical resistance of the inductor coil. Conveniently the copper thickness on the tag was then increased using electrodeposition to 20 microns. This was achieved by making an electrical connection from the electroless copper layer to the negative terminal of a power supply and a copper rod connected to the positive terminal. When both were placed and held separate in a solution of Enthone cuprostar� copper electroplating solution and a voltage of 0.5 volts applied, then copper electroplated onto the electroless deposited metal.
The dielectric selected was "CYCLOTENE� available from DOW chemical, which is a bisbenzocyclobutene. (BCB) and has a low dissipation factor. This was incorporated into a printable ink formulation such as Acheson 6018S. This ink formulation was screen printed over the first conducting layer pattern to form a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer was dried at ˜80 C for 2 hours. The dielectric was applied over the entire area of the first conducting layer, except for a small area which provided the connection means to electrically connect the second layer. The second layer was applied to the dielectric in a similar manner to the first layer.
After electroplating was complete and the metal coated pattern rinsed and dried. It was found to operate as effectively as commercial EAS products, having a resonant frequency of 8.2 MHz and impedance of 10 kiloohms.
In the examples a compound of tin SnCl2.2H2O was dissolved into ethyl lactate to form an ink formulation of concentration in the range 1-100 millimolar (preferably 2-20 millimolar). Three varieties of this ink formulation were prepared. Example 2 used an inkjet formulation simply using the above prepared solution. Example 3 used an inkjet formulation that additionally comprised an additional 1% by weight ethyl cellulose binder. Both of these inks were printed onto a polyester substrate in the pattern of a first conducting layer of an RF circuit, as shown
Example 4 used an ink which was prepared by adding the ink formulation to a commercial screen printing ink (the TiO2 based formulation 6018S from Acheson). Additions in the range 1-100 ml of the ink formulation (preferably 10-30 ml) were added to 100 grams of the screen printing paste and mixed in. This screen printing ink formulation was printed onto a polyester substrate and dried at 60� C. for 1 hour.
In each example the inkjet printed and screen printed substrates were dried and then immersed into a dilute intermediate solution made from a palladium salt. This solution was prepared using PdCl2 in the concentration range of 1 millimolar to 0.1 molar dissolved into de-ionised water using a second salt (e.g. ammonium chloride) to aid the process.
The substrates were immersed in this intermediate solution (concentration 10 millimolar) for 10 minutes. The temperature of the intermediate solution was in the range 10-100� C.
Following immersion in the intermediate solution the substrates were dried and then placed into a commercial autocatalytic solution of copper. Copper was found to have been deposited on each substrate only where the pattern of reducing agent had been printed. Where the binder was used in the inkjet ink, the metal had improved adhesion to the substrate.
The resulting patterns were subjected to electrodeposition under standard conditions to increase the thickness of the copper. The dielectric layer was applied onto the electrodeposited layer in the same manner as described in example 1. The second conducting layer was applied to the dielectric layer using the AgNO3 seed catalyst in the same method described in example 1, to form the complete circuit.
After electroplating was complete and the metal coated patterns rinsed and dried. Each example was found to operate as effectively as commercial EAS products, having a resonant frequency of 8.2 MHz and impedance in the range of 10 kiloohms.

Almost 9,000 Holdens sold in Australia have been recalled to fix a potential problem with the side airbag system.
Holden said there was a risk that the driver's side airbag could deploy when the car is stationary, and the driver is exiting or has exited the vehicle.
It had identified a problem where the airbag attachment within the seat assembly could allow the airbag to come away from the seat frame.
The performance of the airbag could be affected in a crash, it said.
The recall applies to 8,792 VZ vehicles sold in Australia including Executive, SV6, SS and Berlina Commodore models, the four-wheel-drive Adventra, the Crewman and the HSV Avalanche.
Holden said it was contacting vehicle owners and they would be asked to take their cars to a Holden dealer for inspection and rectification.

This week, an Aiken couple will show that sculpting is not limited to wood. With air, imagination and hundreds of thousands of balloons, the couple will be making history in Rochester, N.Y.
Sandi and Tom Brandner, owners of Aiken Balloon Creations, accepted an offer to take part in building a five-story balloon sculpture inside the Sibley Building in Rochester. The sculpture will be a recreation of the fairtytale "Jack and the Beanstalk." The first story will be a garden and the top story will be the castle.
Sandi Brandner said 77 balloon artists from around the world will be participating, making it even more special that a couple from Aiken was chosen.
"The actual building of the sculpture will be from Feb. 1 to Feb. 4," Brandner explained. "We've been twisting balloons for over 30 years and have been in classes all over the country, so this is something we're very excited about."
After construction, Brandner said, there will be an elevator inside the building that will take visitors from the first floor to the fifth floor to tour the sculpture.
After several days of enjoying the festivities, the Brandners will also take part in a popping party on Feb. 10 where participants will have fun popping all of the balloons from the sculpture.
Brandner said they will also learn more about making larger sculptures during their trip. The couple will be attending the Twist and Shout Balloon Convention, which is the largest balloon convention in the country.
"It's going to be absolutely fabulous and it's just such a unique opportunity," she added.
According to Brandner, the project is being sponsored by Kickstarter – a New York-based company that specializes in funding creative projects. The sculpture is being designed by Larry Moss, the founder of Airigami – a company that also specializes in creative content with an emphasis on balloons.
After returning to Aiken, the Brandners will take what they've learned and apply it to an Introduction to Balloon Twisting class at Kennedy Middle School. In addition, they will also apply their skills to their business which includes services at various celebrations and events.
"Our work is extremely interesting to people who have never seen balloon creations outside of the usual dogs or other animals," Brandner explained. "It's also important to note that the latex balloons we use are biodegradable and decay at the same rate as an oak leaf."
Derrek Asberry is a beat reporter with the Aiken Standard. He joined the paper in June. He is originally from Vidalia, Ga., and a graduate of Georgia Southern University. Follow him on Twitter @DerrekAsberry.

Council chores first
In a city with so many problems, I find it outrageous that Councilman David Oh and most of his peers are considering a charter change that would let them run for higher office while on Council ("Resign-to-run change gains in City Council," Nov. 23). Before they figuratively line up again at the trough, Council members should devote themselves to efforts that promote growth and prosperity in Philadelphia.
They should rethink the business-killing tax structure that has robbed us of so many employers, buy down the staggering pension-fund deficit and rethink pensions for new hires, design a public education system that works, and streamline a government that has nearly as many employees as when 2 million people lived here. Council should stop politicizing the land bank proposal, and hold off on selling the Philadelphia Gas Works until the utility's net worth actually makes that a good decision. If Council members try their hand at urgent matters like these, then maybe we can talk about them conducting their next job search at taxpayer expense.

eeerm how can it be a rogue planet? a Planet is a celestial body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity. and thus it is unlikly a planet would hit another one. espcially if it's come from another solar system.

I am REALLY scared. Sure some of you don't believe it, but there is a Nibiru, and it will come by. Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe I'm right. But consider this: if global warming is melting the ice caps, the sea level will rise. That means that flooding will happen. And tsunamis will reach farther, destroying more of the world.
I somewhat believe the end is near.
Dude this freaked me out, you know why because Nibiru is an actual planet. I don't know if it is going to come by, but makes a guy think...and I don't belive any of that crap about the giants though that's insane....

Please, all of this Nibiru stuff is just smoke and mirrors. The skeptics are half right. Those videos are all a load of crap.
However, there is something true about them. A spiritual change in the human race. There will be plenty of horrific events to try to distract us. Plague, war, famine, all of that. But all they want is for you to be afraid.
I'll admit, I don't believe in god. But I do have faith, more faith than most church-goers. Faith will carry us through, it will keep us safe. Fear is what will see us all perish.
this isnt impossible or even improbable guys. i speak mainly to secumfex and bliss.
is it really that hard to beleive a planet's orbit could mess with earth and cause all of this? its happened before according to the videos (wich btw are well done, had good information, and most importantly, not made by a man who wears a tin foil hat to keep the aliens out of his mind lol)
im a beleiver. am i scared? no.. am i posotive it will happen? no.. do i look forward to finding out? definately. (not to say im looking forward to death and destruction..just..idn if i can wait till 2012 to find out if this is fake or not)
it's not the end of the world. its the end of teh world as we know it. everything i enjoy will be gone. well be forced to live without government (yay) and survive on our own. that would be the life man. but no wii, no internets, no movies, all the stuff i enjoy..gone..half my friends dead, my cat dead : ( shit happens tho

I'm looking forward to it. We live in very interesting times, and we are very lucky for it.
But what if we're wrong? What if all these feelings of great futures and exciting times are just the same as every generation before us? It really feels like everything is coming to a head, but we could be wrong. All these catastrophes could just simmer under the surface, never to strike. Wouldn't that be something...
yeah, and the entire conspiracy theorist society thought the world would end on 6/6/6. and it didn't. and it won't in 2012.

Educational grants closing the gap in schooling attainment between poor and non-poor
The present work assesses the effectiveness of educational grants at raising schooling attainment of poor children in rural areas. The per grade gains in reducing drop outs cumulate in an additional half a year in total schooling. Progressive impacts are found along three dimensions: degree of poverty, parents' education and distance to school. The children of uneducated fathers living far from school gain twice as much as their counterparts with an educated father or close to a school. The intervention successfully closes the schooling gap along the wealth dimension but falls short of achieving the same in the other dimensions of parents' education and school distance.

Lori Wick does an incredible job in this book. I could not put it down and finished it in 3 days! Characters were well thought out and the plot and scenery was wonderful. I laughed and I cried - I was humbled and I rejoiced. Too amazing for many more words! Just read it!
I first read this book about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend all of Lori Wick's books but this one is a definite must. Even if you don't really like Lori Wick I think you will find that this one is special. It follows the lives of two sisters throughout their hardships and their joys. I have a sister with whom I am very close, and I think that relationship only added to the impact this book had on me. I recently reread it all the way through and I was surprised because parts of it still made me cry. If you don't read any other Lori Wick books, I would say read this one.
This is an older book than I generally read, as I'm reading it in 2015, but it was published in 1998, so the style of writing is a bit looser. It took me a while to get into this novel. I usually only give a book 30 pages, but decided I'd give it up to 100. There are 702 pages in the edition I read. I'm so glad I stuck with it, as I enjoyed it immensely. Pretense is quite a complex story—not exactly a family saga, since it only covers 2 generations, but a story of family relationships, especially the relationship of two sisters. It is also a story of friendship, romance, and personal growth. The book begins in 1976 and goes through the early 1990's. I would say this is an unusual and compelling story. The spiritual thread takes center stage throughout this book, so if you prefer not to delve deeply into spiritual growth, I doubt that you would enjoy this book. I am only giving this book 4 stars, because it was hard to get into, but otherwise, I loved it and will long remember the characters and their story.
Love a story about flawed humans who find the forgiveness of God. Lori Wick makes you fall in love with her characters.
I have read this nook so many times!
This is the best book I have ever read! If you are an avid reader, the almost 700 pages will not intimidate you. It is a story that is filled with believable characters told over the span of 10 - 15 years. It is a good book for teens girls and up.
As normal Lori Wick is a great story teller. I have read this book over and over and find something new each time.
Lori Wick, a favorite author, provides a true "coming to God" story. While the circumstances may be far-fetched - let's all remember, this is fiction. It is a terrific story and well worth the a read. This book has been out for a while but I admit to going back to read it again and again - at least once every year. It refreshes my sometimes stale love of my spirituality.
I personally never would have read this book just looking at the title.... or length but after reciving it as a gift I ended up reading it and enjoying it very much. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good book!
i read this book about a year and a half ago...... i would strongly reccomned this book to believers and nonbelievers...although i would not read it at the age i read it...this book gives you hope that there is a God and that he loves you so much

Important Information: Structured deposits offer you the potential to earn higher returns than you would with a regular savings account. Your returns are based on the performance of an index or commodity. If the investment does not perform well you may receive no income or capital growth, but you can be confident that your capital will be repaid. You have no access to your deposit during the term of the account, typically 3 to 6 years but your original capital will be repaid in full at the end of the term. In the event that the deposit taker is unable to repay your initial investment and any returns stated you may be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) depending on your individual circumstances.
AA ISA Fixed rate product key facts:
If you are looking for a plan which requires you to lock away your money for a set time period you most likely want to make sure you're getting the best deal you can.
You can look below at some of the latest fixed rate bonds available from various providers to give you an idea of what some of your different options are.
Although fixed rate bonds have the advantage of letting you know exactly how much interest you are going to be earning over the period of the plan. However if while you are locked into a bond interest rates rise, your plan may no longer be competitive, For this reason you may want to also consider a tracker plan. With this plan type interest rates set by the bank of England raise, so too will the interest rate you receive on the bond. On the other hand it may also fall if the base rate does.
Alternatively you may wish to consider a structured deposit plan. These can have higher interest rates than savings bonds. However this comes at a risk as your return is not guaranteed, it is dependent on the performance of a particular index like the FTSE 100. If it does not perform in a certain way you may not receive any interest payments therefore. However the return of your original sum is not at risk and is guaranteed.
If you would like to have your money more easily available in case you need you might want to consider an instant access savings account. The AA offers an easy access saving option under its ISA plan that can be opened with £100 which offers unlimited free withdrawals. However it is important to remember that many providers offer instant access options and the AA is just option of many, for this reason it is wise to shop around before picking a plan.
