[0001]This application claims the benefit of German Application No. 20 2008 016 618.7, filed Dec. 17, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
[0002]The present application relates to a hair styling attachment for connection to a device that produces an air stream, such as an air curler. A device according to the present application uses a fan to produce an air stream. The hair styling attachment has two arms connected with an articulated joint so they are adjustable relative to each other. The top sides of the arms, which face one another, have complementary working surfaces to form a hair styling gap. At least one of the arms includes at least one flow channel to convey an air stream supplied by the device. The working surface of at least one arm has air outlet openings connected to the flow channel which open into the hair styling gap.
[0003]Various hair styling devices that create an air stream may be used with various hair styling attachments for styling hair. These devices include hand-held devices, such as air curlers. Hair styling attachments for straightening or curling hair use two arms connected by an articulated joint which are adjustable in relation to one another in the manner of scissors or pliers. A hair styling gap, which is provided to receive the hair for styling, is located between the facing sides of these arms. The facing sides of the arms each have a working surface. With a hair styling attachment designed to be a so-called straightener, this working surface is subtaintially flat. There are also known hair styling attachments whose working surfaces have a wavy shape to create curls. The working surfaces of the two arms are designed to be complementary with regard to their contouring.
[0004]Typically, air flows through the arms of such hair styling attachments. The device that produces the air stream conveys the heat required for the hair styling operation through by heating the air which flows to the attachment. At least one of the two arms has a flow channel which opens into air outlet openings in its working surface. These air outlet openings convey the air stream provided by the fan in the device supply air to the hair to be styled. At the same time, this supply of air dries the hair, which is usually styled while damp.
[0005]In operation, a hair styling device of this type is typically held by a handle. A control lever operates the arms. The control lever preferably extends as far as possible up the device creating the air stream. Thus, the control lever can be operated by the hand holding the device. One-handed operation is desired. EP1334670A1, for example, shows a hair styling attachment of this variety.
[0006]The hand holding the device adjusts the power of the fan and/or triggers the release of ions, in addition to operating the articulated arm opening and closing the hair styling gap to insert and release hair. It would be desirable to simplify the handling of such a device.
[0007]The foregoing example of the related art and limitations related therewith are intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. Other limitations of the related art will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon a reading of the specification and a study of the drawings.
[0008]The following embodiments and aspects thereof are described and illustrated in conjunction with systems, tool and methods which are meant to be exemplary and illustrative, not limiting in scope. In various embodiments, one or more of the above described problems have been reduced or eliminated, while other embodiments are directed to other improvements.
[0009]An aspect of the present application is to improve upon a generic hair styling attachment as defined in the introduction, such that operation of the articulated arm(s) is simplified.
[0010]A hair styling attachment according to the present application has two arms connected by a joint. At least one arm is capable of motion about the joint. A movable arm has a control lever extension on the opposite side of the articulated joint from the working surface. The control lever extension is located within the hair styling attachment at an angle to the plane of the working surface. A first drive mechanism acts on the control lever extension to adjust the arm about the axis of the articulated joint with respect to the other arm. A rotatably mounted first drive shaft moves the first drive mechanism. The first drive shaft has a coupling piece on the end opposite the first drive mechanism for connection to a rotatable second drive shaft located in the device.
[0011]The electric motor-driven second drive shaft in the device moves the first drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism then adjusts the arm or arms of the attachment. The at least one arm moving about the joint has a control lever within the hair styling attachment. This control lever is provided as an extension of the arm which carries the working surface beyond the axis of articulated joint. The control lever extension is mounted at an angle to the plane of the working surface, so that the arm can be adjusted about its axis of articulation by applying a tensile force or shear force acting on the lever extension. The first drive shaft of the hair styling attachment be a spindle drive, or a portion of a spindle drive, in addition to other conceivable embodiments. The output element of the spindle drive is rotatably uncoupled from the part roated by the drive shaft, but is mounted to be movable in the longitudinal axial direction within the hair styling attachment. This output element is connected to the control lever extension of the at least one arm movable about the joint with respect the other arm. Operation of the spindle drive in one direction or the other leads to a longitudinal shift of the drive element and thus to an adjusting movement of the arm, which is pivoted about its articulated axis as a result of this movement.
[0012]According to another embodiment, both arms of the hair styling attachment are connected to the shaft piece with an articulated joint, and each arm has a control lever extension inside the hair styling attachment on which the drive mechanism acts.
[0013]Opening and closing the hair styling gap is simplified with such a hair styling attachment because it can be operated with only a pushbutton or a slide switch on the hair styling device. The hair styling attachment connected to the device generating the air stream can therefore be operated to open and close the hair styling gap by the hand holding the device without the user having to change their grip. This presupposes that the operating button and/or switch for operation of the opening and closing movement of the arm(s) is arranged at a suitable location on the device.
[0014]Since such a hair styling attachment does not have an external operating lever for operating the arm(s), such a hair styling attachment is also especially suitable for rolling up hair if the attachment has a suitably contoured outer lateral surface of the arms.
[0015]In addition to the exemplary aspects and embodiments described above, further aspects and embodiments will become apparent by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several views.
[0016]FIG. 1 is a partially cut-away schematic side view of the front section of a hair styling attachment comprising two arms connected by an articulated joint in an open position.
[0017]Before explaining the disclosed embodiment of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the particular arrangement shown, since the invention is capable of other embodiments. Exemplary embodiments are illustrated in referenced figures of the drawings. It is intended that the embodiments and figures disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than limiting. Also, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
[0018]The device is explained in greater detail below on the basis of a depicted embodiment with reference to the accompanying FIG. 1. In a highly schematic diagram, FIG. 1 shows a hair styling attachment 1 comprising two arms 2, 2.1 that are connected by an articulated joint and are adjustable with respect to one another like pliers. The two arms 2, 2.1 are connected in an articulated joint to a shaft piece 3. The end of the shaft piece 3 opposite the two arms 2, 2.1 is designed as a coupling ring 4 to attach the hair styling attachment 1 to a device 5. In the disclosed embodiment, device 5 is an air curler which produces an air stream, in particular a hot air stream. The two arms 2, 2.1 meet at pivot axis 6.
[0019]In the depicted embodiment, the sides of the arms 2, 2.1 facing toward one another have a planar working surface 7, 7.1. Hair styling attachment 1 is a straightener in the depicted embodiment. The shaft piece 3 and the two arms 2, 2.1 are designed for air to flow through them, namely an air stream flowing over the coupling ring 4 into the hair styling attachment 1. Arms 2, 2.1 each have a flow channel 19, 19.1 for receiving the air stream supplied by the device 5, in particular a hot air stream. These flow channels open into openings 20 in the working surfaces 7, 7.1, so that the heat introduced through the air stream can be supplied to the hair in the hair styling gap between the arms 2, 2.1.
[0020]Arm 2 is described below with regard to its opening and closing movements. In the depicted embodiment, arm 2.1 has an identical design. In the depicted embodiment, arm 2 is opened and closed with a spindle drive. First drive mechanism 9 acts as the drive mechanism and spindle 14 acts as the output element. Arm 2 has a control lever extension 8 on the opposite side of the pivot axis 6 from its working surface 7. This control lever extension 8 is mounted inside the shaft piece 3 and therefore is not discernible from the outside. A first drive mechanism 9 for adjusting the arm 2 with respect to the arm 2.1 is located inside the shaft piece 3. In the depicted embodiment, the first drive mechanism 9 comprises a first drive shaft 10 connected to a threaded bushing 11 with an internal thread in a torque-locked manner. The first drive shaft 10 has a first coupling piece 12 on the end opposite the threaded bushing with which the first drive shaft 10 can be connected to a second coupling piece 13 of the device having a complementary design. The threaded bushing 11 is mounted inside the shaft piece 3 to rotate with the first drive shaft 10. The threaded bushing 11 sits on a threaded spindle 14, which is rotationally uncoupled from the threaded bushing 11 but is displaceably mounted in the longitudinal axial direction. The spindle 14 is connected to the control lever extension 8 via a link member 15. Link member 15 is connected to control lever extension 8 and spindle 14 with articulated joints, which allow both pushing and pulling movements to be transferred from the spindle 14 to the control lever extension 8. It is also possible to connect the spindle 14 to the control lever extension 8 by means of a wire cable piece rather than a rigid link member 15. In such an embodiment, a closing movement of the arm 2 is possible by means of the drive unit, whereas an opening movement takes place with spring force support.
[0021]The two coupling pieces 12, 13 are engaged with one another when the hair styling attachment 1 is attached to the device 3 in accordance with the two block arrows in FIG. 1. Coupling ring 4 holds the hair styling attachment 1 on the device 5. In the depicted embodiment, device 5 has a fan for producing an air stream. Furthermore, device 5 has a heating register 16 for heating the air stream produced by the fan. Device 5 also has a second drive mechanism 17 driven by an electric motor with a second drive shaft 18 on the end opposite drive mechanism 17. Second coupling piece 13 sits on the second drive shaft 18. The air stream produced in the device 5 and conveyed through this housing is labeled with a block arrow in the figure. The air stream emerges from the device 5 and flows through the shaft piece 3 before entering the flow channels 19, 19.1 in the arms 2, 2.1 to be supplied then to the hair in the hair styling gap between the working surfaces 7, 7.1.
[0022]In use a button on the device 5 triggers the second drive mechanism 17 to close arms 2, 2.1 after hair is inserted in the styling gap. The rotational movement produced by the second drive mechanism 17 is sent to this first drive shaft 10 of the hair styling attachment 1 and then to the spindle drive comprised of first drive shaft 10 and spindle 14. In operation, the spindle 14 moves in the direction of the threaded bushing 11, resulting in a closing movement of the two arms 2, 2.1.
[0023]In the depicted embodiment, device 5 has an overload cutoff switch, so that the hair styling pressure acting on the hair does not exceed a cutoff level. If a certain load state is exceeded, the second drive mechanism 17 shuts down. Different pressures are needed for different hair types, so device 5 has a mechanism to adjust the aforementioned overload cutoff and/or the threshold value triggering the overload cutoff.
[0024]To release the styled hair, the second drive mechanism 17 of device 5 is triggered in the opposite direction to open arms 2, 2.1.
[0025]The present invention has been described on the basis of an exemplary embodiment. Without going beyond the scope of the claims, numerous other embodiments implementing the invention are derived for those skilled in the art without having to be explained explicitly.
[0026]While a number of exemplary aspects and embodiments have been discussed above, those of skill in the art will recognize certain modifications, permutations, additions and sub-combinations therefore. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims hereinafter introduced are interpreted to include all such modifications, permutations, additions and sub-combinations are within their true sprit and scope.

How much is a credit suisse 10g fine gold 999.9 worth in american
There are sites giving current gold prices. Gold prices are getting higher now so it is best to check the most current values.
for right now you can take the 10gr piece you have and use this formula to price out your real gold .999 pure items. =sum(10/31.1)*1900=X or around $610. Your gram weight divided by the amount of grams in an ounce times the value of current gold = the value of your item.
Of course, this is how to find the value of bullion gold and not the value of an item worth more than bullion. Hope this is helpful.

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)
The Head and the Heart scores at sold-out Riverside Theater
The Head and the Heart's Saturday concert at the Riverside Theater has been sold out for weeks. But there was some question whether the audience would put much heart into the concert — since the Badgers' Final Four game against the Wildcats was happening at the same time.
But the show went on. And while concertgoers regularly checked the score on their phones, and several seats in balcony went unclaimed due to no-shows, the folk revival sextet for the most part kept its head in the game (the concert, that is), so the fans could keep their heads out of that other game. »Read Full Article(1)
Picks for Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards
Tomorrow marks the first of the year's big country music award shows when the Academy of Country Music hands out its slate of honors at 7 on CBS. While the Las Vegas-based spectacle has lost a bit of luster against the Nashville-based Country Music Association Awards, it is still a big night that will find many of the genre's big stars all gussied up for the cameras. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan proved a popular host pairing and they return with what is sure to be another year of shenanigans from the two big stars.
More than the awards handed out, the show will be a showcase of performances by a big-name lineup that includes Jason Aldean, Dierks bentley, Sheryl Crow, Lee Brice, Eric Church, Hunter Hayes, Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum with Stevie Nicks, Florida Georgia Line and more. »Read Full Blog Post
MSO brings clarity, conviction to Beethoven's Symphony No. 7
There's a reason some pieces of music make their way into what is known as the "standard orchestral repertoire." It's a simple matter of people wanting to hear them again and again.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra brought one of those pieces that audiences crave, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, to the Pabst Theater on Friday evening, in a performance that felt a lot like one was getting caught up with a dear, old friend. »Read Full Article
Next Act takes plunge with 'Three Views of the Same Object'
In this budget-conscious era of too many contrived plays involving too few actors who must each play multiple characters, playwright Henry Murray bravely takes a different tack with "Three Views of the Same Object": profligately requiring a producing theater to hire multiple actors to play a single character.
Kudos to Next Act Theatre Artistic Director David Cecsarini for taking the plunge, hiring an outstanding veteran cast of six actors and treating Milwaukee to a must-see production of this haunting, beautifully written play, which asks some very hard questions we'd all rather ignore about how we choose to die — and what those choices say about how we've chosen to live. »Read Full Article

Reviews for Mourning Dove Ministries, Inc.
This husband and wife team run an extremely tight ship and make sure that each and every dollar is used to help couples in need of restoration and healing. Over and over again we see couples lives transformed through their unique 2-on-2 approach to ministry. I would strongly recommend that anyone who has a heart for marriage and believes that restoration is possible support this wonderful ministry.
They are not about "counseling". They are not about "therapy". They are about helping couples who have given up hope - find hope and restore their marriage.
Mourning Dove Ministries is no guarantee, but after some of the results I've seen and stories I've heard, it's the next best thing.

Erie's Pfeiffer-Burleigh receives $3.6 million improvement grant
Erie's Pfeiffer-Burleigh Elementary School is the recipient of a $3.6 million federal School Improvement Grant for 2014-15.
Pfeiffer-Burleigh was one of nine recipients announced Thursday by Gov. Tom Corbett. The public schools will share $21 million in funding awarded as grants by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
"This is exciting news," said Kim Olszewski, Erie School District federal programs coordinator.
Among the opportunities she said the $3,660,349 grant will provide for Pfeiffer-Burleigh are an after-school program. Olszewski said sessions will be offered in fall, winter and spring, with students staying three hours for academics, socialization and physical activity.
"That's going to be a huge, huge endeavor," she said.
The grant also will help fund additional personnel and computers at the school with about 800 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, Olszewski said.
She characterized Pfeiffer-Burleigh as "a school that was in need."
For schools to be eligible, they had to be among the lowest-achieving in Pennsylvania that have not made substantial progress on state assessments or have a graduation rate of less than 60 percent for at least two of the past three years, officials said.
"Pennsylvania is home to thousands of high-quality educators," Corbett said. "However there are still too many schools that have a history of failing to provide students with a quality education. Through the federal School Improvement Grant program, schools have the opportunity to implement innovative educational initiatives to better meet the needs of their students and improve academic performance."
The state awarded the grants through a competitive process, and the schools must implement a reform model developed by the federal government.
This is the first federal School Improvement Grant for Pfeiffer-Burleigh. The district's East and Strong Vincent high schools previously received grants.
The other recipients announced Thursday were in Allegheny, Delaware and Philadelphia counties.

DALLAS – For a kid who knows only how to play the game with pure joy, this is pure hell. The two ugly scars that mar his left knee each measure five inches long, one starting in the middle of his knee cap and jagging down. The other curves around the left side of the knee like a misshapen crescent moon.

Logical Information Systems
Context and objectives
team LIS (Logical Information Systems) develops formal models for
information systems that allow for navigation, querying, updating, and
analysis of heterogeneous data collections. Data are given descriptors,
which may be formal or not, and which are extracted from data itself or
are provided by an external, possibly subjective, judgment.
The base model for the representation of information is logical concept analysis, a variant of formal concept analysis. This model naturally allows for navigation, querying, and analysis of data. The model for the description of heterogeneous data is the framework of logic functors. This model enables us to build logics by assembling components, and to automatically ensure some meta-logical properties, say consistency and completeness, of these logics obtained by composing logic functors.
The applications are all information systems in general, with a focus on geographical information systems (GIS), and integrated development environment (IDE) for softwares.
The team LIS implemented these principles both as a file system LISFS, and as a user-oriented application CAMELIS. The file system is used for instance in the geographical information system GEOLIS, which combines standard navigation tools from GIS as well as logical navigation from LIS.
Research axes
The research axes of the team LIS are the following:
- To develop the LISFS system so as to make it more robust and efficient, in particular by defining a distributed version.
- To develop the theory of logic functors so as to capture more meta-logical properties, and to extend its logical vocabulary. In particular, an objective is to take into accounts logics for the description of languages. Similarly, it is important to develop logic functors for GIS. This consists in tackling the representation of space and time. Our objective is not to define new logics, but to provide a modular presentation of well-known logics (e.g. description logics, Lambek logic for sequences).
- To develop the theory of logical information systems, in particular in the direction of data analysis and data aggregates.- To develop new application domains, in particular about memory prostheses, and man-machine communication in natural language.
International and industrial partnerships
The team LIS counts two associated members from the ESO laboratory network. These associated members are specialists in geographical information systems, and one of them is the head of a specialized society in this domain.

Blast from the Past! 1979 Victoria's Secret Catalog is Both Hilarious and Refreshing (Photos)amberdoty
Do you ever flip through a Victoria's Secret catalog and wonder to whom exactly they are marketing their product? I certainly don't feel motivated to buy their lingerie when it is modeled by women so thin I can count their ribs and breast implants too large for their petite frames.
Still, this seems to be the only type of woman selected to appear in the Victoria Secret print ads or otherwise these days. I wish we could take it back to a simpler time when women didn't contain silicone or have to subsist on a diet of ice chips and toilet paper to maintain their size zero physique in order to meet the societal standard of beauty.
Recently, I stumbled across a Victoria's Secret catalog from 1979. The photographs are kind of hilarious, featuring women in a very victorian style background, flashing their bedroom eyes at the camera while performing totally mundane tasks in fuzzy heels. They are good for a laugh, but the best part? The women are all natural and thin, but not emaciated.
Have a look:
Refreshingly all natural 1 of 7The only thing fake in this photo is the fur on the heels these women are wearing.
Keeping it modest 2 of 7These ladies are a vision without showing off everything their mama gave them.
Classic 3 of 7I always wear pearls and drink tea in my white slip with girlfriends. Don't you?
Nothing to see here 4 of 7Just three girls lounging on a chaise with flowers in their hair.
Just your average Saturday night 5 of 7What? Don't you like to cross stitch in your underwear with two of your closest friends?
Signature scent 6 of 7I love when models attempt to make a mundane task like putting on perfume look natural while posing in their underwear on a silk pillow.
Let it lie 7 of 7They certainly thought highly of that rug. It appears in almost every photo in the catalog. You know, because nothing says buy lingerie like a victorian style rug.

Bucs' Freeman: 'Without a Doubt, I'm a Buccaneer'
It took nearly 12 hours for quarterback Josh Freeman to learn about a report that surfaced?Sunday morning saying he planned to seek a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a report he denied in his post-game press conference following the Bucs' 16-14 loss to the Saints.
"Actually, the first I'd heard of it was literally 10 seconds ago, right before I walked in here. But no, without a doubt, I'm a Buccaneer. I'm continuing to prepare, and try to go out every week to give my team a chance to win the game."
Schiano appeared equally surprised when asked about the report.?"It's new to me. We've not had any conversations along those lines."
Freeman said he has no knowledge of anyone in his camp?requesting a trade on his behalf either.
"Not that I've heard. If it's going on, then I need a new camp then, because it's nothing I've heard."
The 25-year-old former first-round pick, now in the fifth and final year of his rookie contract,?has always maintained that he insulates himself from media reports.
This week he caught wind of it, however, and had to answer a number of questions regarding a possible rift with head coach Greg Schiano. There were rumors swirling that Schiano possibly rigged the captains' vote and then news surfaced that Freeman missed the team picture.
"The picture thing, it is what it is. I don't know, it went from a picture thing, to a team meeting, to a whatever it was -- it's not where I'm focused. My focus is on the game plan, it's on the preparation, it's on finding a way to go out and win games."
And that means going off-the-grid and tuning out the outside world.
"At this point, on game days. I just shut my phone off. I try not to focus on anything except for the game plan. Today, obviously that came out. You guys are all [over it]. I didn't know so it really didn't affect me in any way. It's not my job to write or critique writing. My job is to focus on football."

Spring workouts at Oregon were about one thing above all else: improvement. Head coach Mark Helfrich said the Ducks made progress to that end, per Stephen Alexander of the Portland Tribune: "Overall, we got better. Through 14 practices, we really got better, and we're really pleased with where we are."
The conclusion of spring practice turns attention to Aug. 30, the date of Oregon's 2014 season opener against South Dakota.
With the groundwork laid, Helfrich and his staff must now begin shaping the Ducks lineup. Some spots in the rotation are easily tabbed—the Ducks return All-Conference and All-America honorees on both sides of the ball.
Other positions feature internal competitions that will rage into preseason camp. Still, the spring provides some clarity into just what the Oregon lineup will resemble come Week 1.

Man accused of using company credit cardAugust 05,2014Man denies misuse
of company card
BENNINGTON A Brandon man is facing criminal charges after his former employer accused him of using a company credit card to buy items for himself.
Troy M. Hale, 19, of Brandon, pleaded innocent on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of using false pretenses to obtain items worth less than $900.
Hale was originally scheduled to answer to the charges in March, but at the time, the state referred the case to the court diversion program. If Hale had successfully completed the program, the charge would have been expunged from his record.
Although no reason was given, court records show that Hales failure to complete diversion was reported on July 2.
In an affidavit, Trooper Lauren Ronan, of Vermont State Police, said the owner of Waterworks, a treatment plant and service company in Sunderland, reported Oct. 16 that Hale had misused a company credit card.
Ronan said that after some investigation, she identified the card was used three times between Sept. 10 and Oct. 1, for purchases that seemed to be outside the allowable uses set by the company. The total amount for those three charges was about $90.
Ronan said the card was used at a convenience store and a fast-food restaurant.
Hale was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Waterworks employees.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

Faster Boot Planned for ReiserFS Partitions
Under certain circumstances ReiserFS will check the whole filesystem on rebooting, although this is not actually necessary due to its journaling function. Kernel developers are currently discussing a patch that will accelerate the system launch.
Many distributions call the fsck -a command for every partition they use. In the case of ReiserFS the filesystem checks its complete structure which can cause long waits for large partitions. However, ReiserFS uses journaling that makes the check redundant.
Kernel developer Jeff Mahoney submitted a kernel patch that tells the kernel to count how often it has mounted a filesystem. The kernel will continue to store the last check time in the filesystem's superblock. By default, the filesystem notifies the administrator if it has been mounted more than 30 times without checking, or if the last checks is over 180 days in the past. These values can be modified using the tunefs command which is included with the reiserfstools package.
Mahoney has proposed the patch that modifies both the ReiserFS subsystem and the matching user tools to the ReiserFS team via its mailing list. It is hard to say when the proposal will make the release version.

We're used to tapping our phones and instantly getting the results that we want – whether we're looking for a new restaurant, finding movie times or just checking our email. But when we get home, the process is still pretty primitive. We turn on lights individually, flip on the television and fiddle with the air conditioner.
But what if you could make your phone a remote control for all of those appliances? In the morning, you could tap a button and turn on the coffee machine. As you leave, you could make sure all of the lights are off. And, when you're coming home on a sweltering summer day, you could start the air conditioner so that your home is cool and comfortable by the time you get there.
oort helps you do all of this and more. Through a unique system of beacons and sensors, oort turns your phone into a remote control that has the power to turn off lights, control the temperature and even keep track of objects, pets and people.
All of this is possible thanks to oort's multi-radio WiFi/Bluetooth low energy (BTLE) hub, a true Internet of Things (IoT) hub that connects all beacons, power strips, adaptors and environment sensors to one simple, easy-to-use interface that can be managed right from your phone or an Internet browser.
Oort is the first smart home system that uses Bluetooth to communicate between individual devices. While competitors rely on Z-Wave or Zig-bee to pair products with compatible devices – ultimately reducing how many devices can work with the systems – we're ahead of the curve. Oort can be controlled by the smartphones users already own, and can interact with any BTLE-compatible device in the marketplace.
Competitors often require users to manually integrate devices into a new system. Oort does all of that automatically, which means anyone can build a smarter home and start using oort beacons and sensors within a few minutes.
If you enable oort's connectivity, your phone won't just sense and detect your own devices – it will be able to sense others, allowing you to interact with any BTLE-device.
Our goal is to make sure that oort is not just user-friendly, but also affordable. We priced Hub at $99, so everyone can start building their own personal smart home and unlock the power of the Internet of Things.
oort HUB
oort Hub is the heart of the oort ecosystem. It allows your smartphone to communicate with your smart devices and sensors not just through Bluetooth but also through the Internet. Use the hub as a gateway to check what's going on at home even when you're on vacation across the country. Control individual beacons and sensors as well as whole sets of devices. Access all the data from all of your devices in one place. You won't believe how well it works until you try it yourself.
What can you do with it?
Do you ever get annoyed when you can't find something? That will soon be a thing of the past. Just attach an oort Beacon to your car keys, pet or cellphone; whatever you regularly lose. You'll always be able to locate them within minutes. With the tap of a button in the app, the Beacon will sound an alert and the location will be displayed on your smartphone. Could it be any easier? Actually we have three types of beacons:
What can you do with it?
air quality monitor
Research shows that adults spend on average about 80–90% of their life indoors. The time spent indoors increases for small children, the elderly and the ill. What does that mean? The people with the weakest immune systems are the ones who spend the most time vulnerable to bad indoor air quality.
oort Air Quality Monitor features a set of sensors to help you stay healthy - a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor and most importantly the volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor (patent pending). Monitor your air quality so you know the air you and your family breathe is free of unhealthy levels of over 6000 compounds created by paint, varnishes, adhesives and everyday activities such as cooking and cleaning. Access the results from anywhere using your smartphone or desktop web browser. Join the community of environmentally-aware people and share your air quality information to contribute to a better world. The oort Air Quality Monitor can be an important part of your healthy world.
What can you do with it?
Monitor the power usage of your house, office or factory. Remotely switch off the power to limit the energy consumption. Schedule the process so it's done automatically, for instance when you go to sleep. Generate beautiful, detailed reports on energy efficiency with a variety of easy to use charts and graphs. All with the simplicity of oort. Need US version? European? No problem - we got both! Go green!
What can you do with it?
oort lamp
Become enlightened and manage all lamps in your home or office by one simple application. Went to bed and forgot to turn the light off? Do it without getting up! Traveling on a long anticipated vacation? Use the lamp to simulate that someone is in the house and keep burglars away. Or maybe you just want to create a specific mood? Control the brightness of your light and do whatever you want

oort connects things using Bluetooth Low Energy with iBeacon profiles. Eventually, it will operate on multiradio, which will make oort the most accurate 3D location system on the market, with tracking beacons ensuring 10-30 cm accuracy. oort uses a WiFi/BLE hub to connect data from beacons to the cloud.

An example use of the multi-radio capability of the oort hub supporting the simultaneous use of Bluetooth low energy and WiFi to create miniature gateways. The oort hubs communicate via Bluetooth low energy downstream and WiFi upstream. The WiFi up-stream link is connected to a WiFi router connected further upwards to the Internet services. This scheme may be used to extend the range or the system size.
We will enable interaction with your favorite wrist bands: Jawbone Up, Fit Bit & Nike Fuel. It will allow action triggering between the devices. Let your smart device world react & adapt to you as soon as you appear!
We will develop the tech geek KIT. An open hardware set that will allow you to experiment with our beacons and make various modifications.
We will develop a fully environment friendly & battery less beacon. All backers who support us with more than $499 will receive the oortato kit – the first internet of potatoes device.
Shipping costs:
- T-shirt (US free shipping, outside US - 10$),
- early adopter (US free shipping, outside US - 15$),
- other rewards (US - 10$, outside US - 20$)

The oort team has designed and built other electronic products. In the team's experience, there are several points in the design, manufacturing and certification processes that could cause delays. We will keep you informed and ensure you know right away if we have run into challenges.
Certification, software and hardware design all have the biggest potential to affect timing. Our goal is to make oort as intuitive and innovative as we possibly can, that means we're putting a lot of hours into working on and improving our software and our hardware. The more innovative the products, the more time we might have to spend getting them certified. Our team will be watching the clock and the process so we have the best chance of delivering with no delays.
Overwhelming demand for oort products might also cause a delay. We do plan to release products to supporters in batches so that the earliest backers are the first to receive their sets.
Finally, there is always the possibility of supplier delays. We use technologies from many different companies in our devices, but we have established relationships with all of them during the prototype creation process. We have also made sure we have multiple pipelines for each part.
Whatever happens along our production timeline, you can rest assured that we will keep you updated on our progress.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Video: The Concert Corner - Recapping Soundgarden and Yo La Tengo
From Soundgarden's first local concert in nearly 20 years to Yo La Tengo's terrific show at Turner Hall Saturday, it was a big weekend of music in Milwaukee. For this week's Concert Corner chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, I take a look back at those shows and look ahead to some of the concerts this weekend.
If you prefer the written word, you can read my Tengo review and my Soundgarden review (which includes the setlist, and a Spotify playlist of the songs in the order they were played). »Read Full Blog Post

Yummy! I was glad to find a recipe using malted milk powder!!! I did reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and omitted the white sugar. Otherwise, made the recipe as is; added dark chocolate chips to half the batter, but I find they overwhelm the cookie's wonderful flavour. Yield is accurate, cookies are moist and tasty - they are everything they claim to be. Thanks for sharing :)
