We had a pretty wicked storm not long ago. I was really worried about the trees on our property because some of them are pretty tall. I had good reason to be worried because one of them came down about midway through the storm. It actually hit the corner of the house, but then it bounced away. I thought we got lucky, but it turned out that there was some roof damage after all. I went online to find a company that does roof repair in Brooklyn NY and was able to find a reputable company that came out the next day.
I chose them for a few reasons. The first is because there were so many positive reviews about them in one of the local forums that I go to when I have questions about local companies. Another reason is because they were able to come out the very next day. They did say they may not be able to take care of the damages that day, but they would do whatever was necessary to make sure that the roof did not leak. Read more

1.) Dim your screen - most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Turn the brightness to a minimal.
2.) Cut down on programs running in the background. Programs such as desktop search add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn't crucial when you're on battery. Use very little programs.
3.) Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) and Wireless cards drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.
4.) Users should not charge their mobile devices (HTC, Samsung, etc.) using USB cable. This is another good reason behind battery getting drained out. Always charge the devices using power adaptor.
5.) Lower the graphics use- You can do this by changing the screen resolution and shutting off fancy graphic drivers. Graphics cards (video cards) use as much or more power today as hard disks.
6.) Don't multitask - Do one thing at a time when you're on battery.
7) Regular defragmentation helps to arrange data more efficiently thus making the hard drive work less to access the data. The quicker the moving hard drive works lesser is the load placed on the battery. Thus, your batter can last longer and efficiency increases with hard drive maintenance.
8) It may be a defrag or a virus scan, but make sure it is scheduled for a time when you are near a power outlet. If not then nix them for the moment.
9) Even if you don't intend to use it, don't leave any CD/DVDs as leftovers in the drives. A spinning drive sucks battery power like a sponge.
10) In the Stand By mode or sleep mode, the computer turns of the hard drive and the display, but memory remains active while the CPU slows down. This draws on the battery. In contrast, hibernation mode is better because the computer saves the current state and shuts itself down completely thus saving power.

Hello, and thanks for adding custom lists on Anime-Planet!
We recently launched some changes and now have a few new privacy levels for lists, including 'Private' (the default value for custom lists), and 'People who visit my profile' for personal tracking ('Things I plan to watch in 2016') that your friends might want to know about, or personal challenge lists, etc. These can be seen in your profile, or everywhere across the site for those who follow you. Here's a full writeup of the privacy levels.
Your list "My top anime" has been changed to 'People who visit my profile' - you'll see a small eye icon (that only you or your followers will see) next to these lists titles. The reason for this change is the lack of descriptions/ reasons for why the items are in your list. If you eventually decide to turn this into a community list ('best of' list with descriptive titles and descriptions for each list item) feel free to change the privacy level to "Everyone" to make the list public.
Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions!

The present invention relates to an endoscopic apparatus having an endoscope body and a drive unit which includes a video processor, light source, etc.
An endoscope may be used for the observation, treatment, or photographing of the inside of the body cavity. In doing this, the body of the endoscope is connected to a drive unit by means of a universal cord, so that the endoscope body is supplied with illumination light, electrical signals, and fluid from the drive unit. The endoscope body is connected to the drive unit by fitting a connector at the distal end of the cord into a socket of the drive unit. The connector and socket are provided with a plurality of connector units and socket units, respectively, for the light, signals, and fluid.
The connector units and socket units can be connected simultaneously by a single connecting operation. Also, electrical contacts can be securely insulated from peripheral metallic parts surrounding them, thus facilitating the prevention of electrical noise at the electrical connecting section. When connecting the connector and socket, each including a plurality of units, however, the individual units of the connector must be accurately aligned with those of the socket. Therefore, the connector and socket must be manufactured with high dimensional accuracy, thereby increasing manufacturing cost.
The maximum allowable connection/disconnection frequency of conventional electrical connectors is relatively low. According to the MIL standards, for example, it is restricted to 500 cycles or thereabout. On the other hand, the endoscope must be washed and cleaned at the end of every operation for observation or treatment, requiring very frequent connection/disconnection between the connector of the endoscope body and the socket of the drive unit. Usually, the frequency of connection/disconnection is 15 cycles a day, on average. If there are five working days per week, therefore, the frequency exceeds 3,500 cycles a year. Accordingly, the connector and socket must be not only easy to handle but also highly durable.
If both electrical and optical connecting sections are made rigid enough to fulfill the aforesaid requirement, the individual components must be manufactured with extremely high accuracy. In the optical connecting section, the quantity of light transmitted to a light guide can be reduced drastically by a slight dislocation between a light source and the incidence end of the light guide. Thus, the positional accuracy must be limited to �0.5 mm in the axial direction and �0.15 mm in the radial direction. In the electrical connecting section, if the respective axes of the contacts are subject to a deviation of about 0.2 mm when the connection and disconnection are repeated, the contacts will be quickly worn away. Consequently, the electrical contact resistance may be increased or contact failure may take place.
According to an endoscopic apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Disclosure No. 69837/82, a universal cord of an endoscope body includes two branch cords diverging in the middle from each other, and electrical and optical connector means are attached individually to the distal ends of the branch cords. In this case, the dimensional accuracy of the connector means does not matter. However, these connector means must be connected to or disconnected one by one from socket means of a drive unit, thus lowering the operating efficiency. While one connector means is being handled, moreover, the other may possibly swing, touching and damaging a panel of the drive unit.
The present invention has been contrived in consideration of these circumstances, and is intended to provide an endoscopic apparatus in which an endoscope body and a drive unit can be connected and disconnected easily and securely without requiring high dimensional accuracy at the time of manufacture.
In order to achieve the above object, according to an endoscopic apparatus of the invention, a connector of an endoscope body includes first and second connector units, and a socket of a drive unit to be connected witt the connector includes first and second socket units to which the first and second connector units are connected, respectively. At least one of the connector or socket units is movably supported by support means. The endoscopic apparatus is further provided with guide means for guiding that unit movably supported by the support means to a position where the unit can be connected to its corresponding unit when the connector is connected to the socket.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
FIGS. 1 to 8 show an endoscopic apparatus according to a first embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus comprises endoscope drive unit 1 and endoscope body 2 connected thereto. Body 2 includes operation section 3, insertion section 4 extending therefrom and adapted to be inserted into the body cavity, and universal cord 5 extending from section 3. Connector 6 is attached to the extending end of cord 5. Drive unit 1 includes housing 7 and monitor 8 mounted thereon. Housing 7 contains a video processor, light source unit, etc. Socket 9 is located on the front of housing 7. Optical, electrical, and fluid systems of unit 1 and endoscope body 2 are connected by coupling connector 6, of body 2, to socket 9.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, connector 6 and socket 9 will be described in detail:
Opening 13 is formed in front panel 11 of drive unit housing 7, and insulating cylinder 12 is fixed to the panel, fringing the opening. Inside housing 7, socket 9 is located near opening 13. The socket includes insulating member 14, fixed to housing 7, and plate-like base 15, which is fixed to member 14 and faces opening 13. Base 15 is fitted with electrical socket unit 16, optical socket unit 17, and fluid socket unit 18, which are spaced vertically.
Electrical socket unit 16 includes support cylinder 21 which is passed through a circular opening 22 in the base 15, and projects from the base toward opening 13. The diameter of opening 22 is sufficiently greater than the outside diameter of cylinder 21. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, four cylindrical collars 19 are fixed to base 15 by means of fixing screws 20, arranged at regular intervals along the peripheral edge of opening 22. Each collar 19 has small-diameter portion 19a in its central portion, with respect to the axial direction. Cylinder 21 has ring-shaped flange 23 on the outer periphery of its proximal end portion, which engages collars 19. Flange 23 is formed with four fitting holes 24 which are arranged circumferentially at regular intervals. Portions 19a of collars 19 are passed through their corresponding holes 24. The diameter of fitting hole 24 is smaller than that of collar 19 and greater than that of portion 19a. The wall thickness of flange 23 is smaller than the width of small-diameter portion 19a. Thus, cylinder 21 is supported by collars 19 for axial and radial movements relative to base 15.
Annular groove 25 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of cylinder 21. Cylindrical insulator 26, smaller in diameter than groove 25, is fitted in the groove to be movable in the radial direction of cylinder 21. Regulating hole 27 is formed in the outer peripheral surface of insulator 26, and guide pin 28, penetrating the outer peripheral wall of cylinder 21, engages hole 27. Thus, insulator 26 is restrained from rocking by pin 28. The head of pin 28 projects from the outer peripheral surface of cylinder 21. A plurality of guide holes 29 are bored through insulator 26, extending in the axial direction thereof and of cylinder 21. Also, insulator 26 is provided with an electrical contact 30 which is movable in the axial direction of cylinder 21. Contact 30 is connected to control circuit 36 of the video processor by means of signal wire 35.
Optical socket unit 17 is provided with cylindrical mouthpiece guide 32. Guide 32 is screwed in tapped hole 31 in base 15, and extends parallel to cylinder 21 of electrical socket unit 16, on both sides of the base. Light source unit 38 is located in drive unit housing 7, facing the proximal end of guide 32.
Fluid socket unit 18 is provided with cylindrical mouthpiece holder 34, formed of elastic material, such as rubber. Holder 34 is fitted in mounting hole 33 in base 15, and extends parallel to cylinder 21 of electrical socket unit 16. Pump 37 is connected to the proximal end of holder 34. Socket 9 also includes fitting cylinder 71 which extends parallel to cylinder 21 from base 15 toward opening 13. The respective distal end portions of mouthpiece guide 32 (of optical socket unit 17) and mouthpiece holder 34 (of fluid socket unit 18) are housed in cylinder 71. Annular engaging groove 72 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of cylinder 7.
Connector 6 will now be described specifically: Connector 6 includes substantially cylindrical case 40, one end portion of which is attached to the distal end of universal cord 5, by means of cylindrical rubber grip 41. The other end opening of case 40 is closed by plate 43 which is attached to the case with the aid of gasket 42. Plate 43 is fitted with electrical connector unit 44, optical connector unit 45, and fluid connector unit 46, corresponding to units 16, 17 and 18, respectively, of socket 9.
Electrical connector unit 44 includes cylindrical support member 47, which is mounted on plate 43 through the medium of insulating member 48, and extends at right angles to plate 43. The inside diameter of member 47 is a little greater than the outside diameter of support cylinder 21, of socket unit 16, so that the former can be fitted on the latter. The proximal end opening of support member 47 is closed by printed board 50, and disk-shaped insulator 49 is fixed in the proximal end portion of the support member, facing the printed board. A plurality of guide pins 51 and connecting terminal 52 extend from insulator 49 toward the distal end of support member 47, in the axial direction of member 47. When member 47 is fitted onto cylinder 21 of socket unit 16, pins 51 are inserted into guide holes 29, of insulator 26, while terminal 52 is connected to electrical contact 30. The inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of support member 47 is formed with tapered surface 47a spreading out toward the distal end of member 47. Also, the inner peripheral surface of member 47 is formed with guide groove 53, which engages the head of guide pin 28, of socket unit 16. Groove 53 extends from the middle portion of member 47 to its distal end, in its axial direction. As seen from FIG. 5, groove 53 is formed of wide portion 53a on the distal end side of support member 47, narrow portion 53b on the proximal end side of member 47, and slanting portion 53c between portions 53a and 53b. Guide groove 53, tapered surface 47a, and guide pin 28 constitute guide means for guiding cylinder 21 of socket unit 16, at the time of connection.
A plurality of electrical components 54 are fixed on printed board 50, which is electrically connected to connecting terminal 52. One end of electric wire 55 is connected to board 50. Wire 55 extends through universal cord 5, operation section 3, and insertion section 4, to a solid-state image sensor (not shown) which is attached to the distal end of the insertion section. The wire is fixed at two spots or fixing portions 56 and 57, inside case 40. That section of the wire between portions 56 and 57 is contained in inside space 40a of case 40, folded in zigzags. As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 6, three stays 58 protrude from the proximal end of support member 47, and a plurality of split covers 59 are arranged around the stays. Covers 59 are fixed to stays 58 by means of fixing bands 60. Two shielding plates 61 are attached to the projecting ends of stays 58. Electrical components 54 are protected against noise by plates 61 and covers 59. Fixing portions 56 and 57, for wire 55, are provided on one of plates 61 and the inner wall of case 40, respectively. Each fixing portion is formed of rubber plates and a backup plate.
Cylindrical base 63 is fixed to plate 43, projecting forward therefrom. C-ring 70 is fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the projecting end portion of base 63. When connector 6 is connected to socket 9, base 63 is fitted into fitting cylinder 71 of the socket, and C-ring 70 elastically engages engaging groove 72 of the fitting cylinder. Base 63 is formed with first and second tapped holes 64 and 65. Optical connector unit 45 includes cylindrical light guide mouthpiece 66, which is fixedly screwed into first tapped hole 64, extending from base 63 at right angles thereto. One end portion of light guide 68 formed of an optical fiber, is fixedly inserted in mouthpiece 66. Light guide 68 extends to an illumination window (not shown) at the distal end of insertion section 4, firstly passing through universal cord 5, operating section 3, and then into the insertion section. When base 63 is fitted into fitting cylinder 71, light guide mouthpiece 66 is inserted into mouthpiece guide 32 of socket 9.
Fluid connector unit 46 includes cylindrical fluid mouthpiece 67, which is fixedly screwed into second tapped hole 65, extending from base 63 at right angles thereto. The bore of mouthpiece 67 is connected to fluid tube 62 by means of passage 69, which is formed in case 40. Tube 62 extends to a nozzle (not shown) at the distal end of insertion section 4, firstly passing through universal cord 5, operating section 3, and then into the insertion section. When connector 6 is connected to socket 9, the distal end of mouthpiece 67 is fitted into mouthpiece holder 34 of socket unit 18.
The operation of connector 6 and socket 9, arranged and connected in this manner, will now be described:
When connecting connector 6 to socket 9, the former is inserted into the latter with electrical, optical, and fluid socket units 44, 45 and 46 opposed to socket units 16, 17 and 18, respectively, as shown in FIG. 3. Before connection, support cylinder 21 of socket unit 16 is lowered by its own weight, so that the top of each fitting hole 24 is in contact with small-diameter portion 19a of its corresponding collar 19. First, the distal end of light guide mouthpiece 66 is inserted into mouthpiece guide 32 of socket unit 17 so that tapered face 47a of support member 47 (of connector unit 44), abuts against the distal end of cylinder 21 of socket unit 16. In this state, connector 6 is allowed to rotate freely around light guide mouthpiece 66. Therefore, the position of connector 6 is adjusted so that member 47 faces cylinder 21. If connector 6 is pushed deeper into socket 9, cylinder 21 is guided upward by tapered face 47a of member 47, and finally reaches a position where it is coaxial with member 47. If the connector is further pushed in, guide pin 28 of cylinder 21 enters wide portion 53a of guide groove 53 (of support member 47), as shown in FIG. 7. Since the width of portion 53a is sufficiently greater than the diameter of pin 28, cylinder 21 can move in its circumferential direction when pin 28 is located in portion 53a. Thus, in connecting connector 6, guide pin 28 never fails to enter wide portion 53a of guide groove 53 without regard to the angular position of cylinder 21 relative to collars 19, before the connection.
If connector 6 is pushed in deeper, guide pin 28 slides along slanting portion 53c of guide groove 53 into narrow portion 53b, as shown in FIG. 8. While pin 28 is moving past portion 53c, cylinder 21 is rocked, so that its position in its rocking direction, relative to support member 47, is adjusted. Meanwhile, guide pins 51, on the side of member 47, are inserted individually into guide holes 29 of insulator 26, so that the insulator is positioned coaxial with member 47. When connector 6 is fully pushed in, connecting terminal 52 of connector unit 44 is connected to electrical contact 30 of insulator 26, as shown in FIG. 2.
When connector 6 is fully connected to socket 9, the projecting end portion of base 63 of the connector, and C-ring 70 thereon, engage the distal end portion and engaging groove 72, respectively, of fitting cylinder 71, of socket 9. Thereupon, the distal end of light guide mouthpiece 66 projects from the proximal end of mouthpiece guide 32, to face light source unit 38. The projecting end of fluid mouthpiece 67 is fitted into the distal end of mouthpiece holder 34, and fluid passage 69 connects with pump 37. Thus, the electrical, optical, and fluid systems are connected between endoscope body 2 and drive unit 1.
According to the endoscopic apparatus constructed in this manner, electrical socket unit 16 is movable toward and away from socket units 17 and 18. Therefore, if the relative positions of connector units 44, 45, and 46 are not exactly in alignment with those of socket units 16, 17, and 18, the deviation can be corrected by moving unit 16. Thus, connector 6 and socket 9 can be securely connected with ease, even though they are not very high in assembling accuracy. The connector and socket are provided with guide means which guides socket unit 16 to a position where it faces or is coaxial with its corresponding connector unit 44, when the connector is connected to the socket. Accordingly, connector 6 can be connected accurately to socket 9 without regard to the position of socket unit 16 before the connection.
In general, electrical contact 30 and connecting terminal 52 may be formed of tin, gold, or alloy of gold. The contact and terminal can be connected and disconnected 200 times if both of them are formed of tin, and 400 times if formed of gold. If gold, (which is highly tenacious) is used as the material of both contact 30 and terminal 52, the connection and disconnection between these components require a great force. In this embodiment, contact 30 is formed of gilt phosphor bronze, and terminal 52 is of brass plated with an alloy of gold and nickel. Therefore, the necessary force for the connection/disconnection between contact and terminal can be reduced, thus ensuring improved durability of the components.
In connecting or disconnecting connector 6 to or from socket 9, axial reaction is exerted on electrical connector unit 44 and base 63. Since the central axis of rubber grip 41 is located between those of unit 44 and base 63, however, the reaction acts on connector 6 in a well-balanced manner. Thus, connector 6 can be connected and disconnected satisfactorily.
Electric wire 55, which connects circuit board 50 and the solid-state image sensor (not shown), is fixed at two points inside connector case 40. During use of endoscope body 2, or during the process of arranging wire 55 on circuit board 50, therefore, wire 55 can neither be dislocated in universal cord 5 or insertion section 4, nor be broken by high tension. That section of wire 55 between board 50 and fixing portion 57 is so long that the wire can be drawn out to be newly exposed for repair work.
Drive unit housing 7 is formed of metal and is grounded. Insulating member 14 is interposed between housing 7 and base 15, and insulating cylinder 12 is attached to opening 13, of panel 11. Thus, connector 6 and endoscope body 2 are insulated from drive unit 1, while connector case 40 and base 15 are connected electrically.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.
For example, the means for movably supporting support cylinder 21 of electrical socket unit 16 may alternatively be constructed as shown in FIG. 9. In this case, flange 23 of cylinder 21 has four arcuate notches 73 formed on its outer peripheral edge. Small diameter portions 19a of collars 19 are fitted individually in the notches. With this arrangement, flange 23 can be reduced in outside diameter, so that the whole body of socket 9 can be miniaturized.
As shown in FIG. 10, optical socket unit 17 and fluid socket unit 18, as well as electrical socket unit 16, may be arranged for vertical movement. In this case, mouthpiece guide 32 and mouthpiece holder 34 are fixed to fitting cylinder 71, which is movably supported on base 15. With this arrangement, the assembling accuracy of connector 6 and socket 9 is lower.
In the above embodiments, the unit or units on the socket side are movable. Alternatively, the units on the connector side may be arranged for movement.
FIGS. 11 and 12 show an alternative embodiment in which endoscope body 2, different in configuration from that of the first embodiment, is connected to drive unit 1. According to this embodiment, body 2 includes no solid-state image sensor, and has a conventional arrangement such that an optical fiber, extending from an eyepiece portion (not shown) at operating section 3, is used for observing an object. Connector 6 of this endoscope body includes only optical and fluid connector units 45 and 46, which are connected to their corresponding socket units 17 and 18 of drive unit 1. When displaying an image, obtained with use of endoscope body 2, on monitor 8 of drive unit 1, body 2 and unit 1 are connected by means of adapter 76. The adapter includes first connector 78 connected to the eyepiece portion of body 2, second connector 80 connected to socket 9 of drive unit 1, and cord 82 connecting the two connectors. A solid-state image sensor is located in first connector 78. It is used to convert the image delivered to the eyepiece portion into an electrical signal and transmit the signal to second connector 80, through cord 82. Connector 80 includes connector unit 44, which is connected to electrical socket unit 16, of socket 9. Unit 44 has the same construction as that of the first embodiment.

Review 29:008 Exam 2
Ch. 6 Energy & Oscillations
Kinetic Energy, and the Work-Energy Principle
Apply a force to accelerate a bus: the work done here is We define the kinetic energy:
6-3 Kinetic Energy, and the Work-Energy Principle
This means that the work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy: (6-4) If the net work is positive, the kinetic energy increases. If the net work is negative, the kinetic energy decreases.
6-3 Kinetic Energy, and the Work-Energy Principle
Because work and kinetic energy can be equated, they must have the same units: kinetic energy is measured in joules.
6-4 Potential Energy An object can have potential energy by virtue of its surroundings. Familiar examples of potential energy: A wound-up spring A stretched elastic band An object at some height above the ground
Potential Energy In raising a mass m to a height h, the work done by the external force is We therefore define the gravitational potential energy: (6-5a) (6-6)
Potential Energy This potential energy can become kinetic energy if the object is dropped. If , where do we measure y from? It turns out not to matter, as long as we are consistent about where we choose y = 0. Only changes in potential energy can be measured.
Potential Energy Potential energy can also be stored in a spring when it is compressed; the figure below shows potential energy yielding kinetic energy.
6-4 Potential Energy The force required to compress or stretch a spring is: where k is called the spring constant, and needs to be measured for each spring.
Potential Energy The force increases as the spring is stretched or compressed further. We find that the potential energy of the compressed or stretched spring, measured from its equilibrium position, can be written:
Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
If friction is present, the work done depends not only on the starting and ending points, but also on the path taken. Friction is called a nonconservative force.
Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
Potential energy can only be defined for conservative forces.
Conservation of Energy
. total energy: Total energy conserved for a system that has no non-conservative forces acting on it
Problem Solving Using Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Problem Solving Using Conservation of Mechanical Energy
If there is no friction, the speed of a roller coaster will depend only on its height compared to its starting height.
Problem Solving Using Conservation of Mechanical Energy
For an elastic force, conservation of energy tells us:
Power Power is the rate at which work is done –
(6-17) In the SI system, the units of power are watts:
Ch. 7 Momentum & Impulse
Momentum and Its Relation to Force
Momentum is a vector symbolized by the symbol p, and is defined as The rate of change of momentum is equal to the net force:
Conservation of Momentum
During a collision, total momentum does not change:
Conservation of Momentum
The law of conservation of momentum states: The total momentum of an isolated system of objects remains constant.
Conservation of Momentum
Momentum conservation works for a rocket as long as we consider the rocket and its fuel to be one system, and account for the mass loss of the rocket.
Collisions and Impulse
= change in momentum = average force X time
Conservation of Energy and Momentum in Collisions
Momentum is conserved in all collisions. Collisions in which kinetic energy is conserved as well are called elastic collisions, and those in which it is not are called inelastic.
Center of Gravity The center of gravity can be found experimentally by suspending an object from different points. The CM need not be within the actual object – a doughnut's CM is in the center of the hole.
Ch. 8 Rotational Motion
Angular Quantities Angular displacement:
The average rotational velocity is defined as the total angular displacement divided by time:
Angular Quantities The rotational acceleration is the rate at which the angular velocity changes with time:
Angular Quantities Correspondence between linear and rotational quantities:
Constant Angular Acceleration
The equations of motion for constant angular acceleration are like those for linear motion:
Torque The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line along which the force acts is called the lever arm. Torque = Perpendicular Force X Lever Arm
Rotational Inertia The quantity is called the rotational inertia of an object. The distribution of mass matters here – these two objects have the same mass, but the one on the left has a greater rotational inertia, as so much of its mass is far from the axis of rotation.
Rotational Inertia The rotational inertia of an object depends : Mass
Shape Location of axis
Angular Momentum and Its Conservation
In analogy with linear momentum, we can define angular momentum L: Conservation: If the net torque on an object is zero, the total angular momentum is constant.
Angular Momentum and Its Conservation
Therefore, systems that can change their rotational inertia through internal forces will also change their rate of rotation:
Vector Nature of Angular Quantities
Vectors for rotational velocity & Angular momentum: point along the axis of rotation direction is found using a right hand rule:
Ch. 9 Fluids
Density The density ρ of an object is its mass per unit volume:
Pressure in Fluids Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.
the units are pascals: 1 Pa = 1 N/m2 Pressure is the same in every direction in a fluid at a given depth; if it were not, the fluid would flow.
Pressure in Fluids Also for a fluid at rest, there is no component of force parallel to any solid surface – once again, if there were the fluid would flow.
Pascal's Principle If an external pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure at every point within the fluid increases by that amount. This principle is used in hydraulic lifts
Buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle
For a floating object, the portion of the object that is submerged displaces a mass of water equal to the mass of the entire object.
Continuity of Flow
Bernoulli's Principle
Lift on an airplane wing is due to the different air speeds and pressures on the two surfaces of the wing.
Ch. 10 Temperature & Heat
Heat As Energy Transfer
Heat is a form of energy. 1 cal is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 Celsius degree.
Definition of heat Heat is energy transferred from one object to another because of a difference in temperature.
Internal Energy The total of all the energy of all the molecules in a substance is its internal energy. Temperature: measures average kinetic energy of molecules Internal energy: total energy of all molecules
Specific Heat The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a material is proportional to: mass temperature change specific heat, c (a material propert)
1Latent Heat Energy is required for a material to change phase, even though its temperature is not changing.
Latent Heat Heat of fusion, LF: heat required to change 1.0 kg of material from solid to liquid Heat of vaporization, LV: heat required to change 1.0 kg of material from liquid to vapor
Latent Heat The total heat required for a phase change depends on the total mass and the latent heat:
Heat Transfer: Convection
Convection occurs when heat flows by the mass movement of molecules from one place to another. It may be natural or forced; both these examples are natural convection.
Heat Transfer: Radiation
The most familiar example of radiation is our own Sun, which radiates at a temperature of almost 6000 K.
Summary p. 1 In an isolated system, heat gained by one part of the system must be lost by another. Calorimetry measures heat exchange quantitatively. Phase changes require energy even though the temperature does not change. Heat of fusion: amount of energy required to melt 1 kg of material. Heat of vaporization: amount of energy required to change 1 kg of material from liquid to vapor.
Summary p. 2 Heat transfer takes place by conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, energy is transferred through the collisions of molecules in the substance. In convection, bulk quantities of the substance flow to areas of different temperature. Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
Ch. 11 Thermodynamics
The First Law of Thermodynamics
The change in internal energy of a closed system will be equal to the energy added to the system minus the work done by the system on its surroundings. This is the law of conservation of energy, written in a form useful to systems involving heat transfer.
Isothermal process An isothermal process is one where the temperature does not change. In order for an isothermal process to take place, heat flows from a hot body (heat reservoir) to a cold body.
Adiabatic Processes An adiabatic process is one where there is no heat flow into or out of the system.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics – Introduction
The process above doesn't happen. This tells us that conservation of energy (First Law) is not the whole story. If it were, movies run backwards would look perfectly normal to us!
The Second Law of Thermodynamics – Introduction
The second law of thermodynamics is a statement about which processes occur and which do not. There are many ways to state the second law; here is one: Heat can flow spontaneously from a hot object to a cold object; it will not flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot object.
15-5 Heat Engines It is easy to produce thermal energy using work, but how does one produce work using thermal energy? This is a heat engine; mechanical energy can be obtained from thermal energy only when heat can flow from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Heat Engines We will discuss only engines that run in a repeating cycle; the change in internal energy over a cycle is zero, as the system returns to its initial state. The high temperature reservoir transfers an amount of heat QH to the engine: part of it is transformed into work W the rest, QL, is exhausted to the lower temperature reservoir. Note that all three of these quantities are positive.
Heat Engines A steam engine is one type of heat engine.
Heat Engines The efficiency of the heat engine is the ratio of the work done to the heat input:
Heat Engines The Carnot engine is idealized, as it has no friction. Each leg of its cycle is reversible. The Carnot cycle consists of: Isothermal expansion Adiabatic expansion Isothermal compression Adiabatic compression
Heat Engines
Heat Engines Carnot engine efficiency is:
(15-5) From this we see that 100% efficiency can be achieved only if the cold reservoir is at absolute zero, which is impossible. Real engines have some frictional losses; the best achieve 60-80% of the Carnot value of efficiency.
Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, and Heat Pumps
These appliances can be thought of as heat engines operating in reverse. By doing work, heat is extracted from the cold reservoir and exhausted to the hot reservoir.
Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, and Heat Pumps
Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, and Heat Pumps
A heat pump is like an air conditioner turned around, so that the coils dump heat inside the house:
Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Another statement of the second law of thermodynamics: The total entropy of an isolated system never decreases.
Natural processes tend to move toward a state of greater disorder.
Order to Disorder Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. This gives us yet another statement of the second law: Natural processes tend to move toward a state of greater disorder. Example: If you put milk and sugar in your coffee and stir it, you wind up with coffee that is uniformly milky and sweet. No amount of stirring will get the milk and sugar to come back out of solution.

l Sow annuals such as lobelia and snapdragon. Use a pot for this initial sowing, rather than a seed tray. Gently firm down the compost in the pot and scatter the seed as thinly and evenly as you can over the surface. Water it in using a fine rose on the watering-can. Both lobelia and snapdragon need light to germinate, so cover the seed thinly after sowing. I use vermiculite rather than compost, as there is is less danger of the seeds being smothered. Both these flowers take two or three weeks to germinate.
l Continue to clean through flower beds during spring. The relatively mild, wet winter in much of the country has favoured bully boys such as creeping buttercup - which is not a weed that you can shift with a casual tweak while you are on your way to do something else. It needs a fork under it. Its roots make formidable anchors.
l When you have weeded, mulch with compost, leaf mould, mushroom compost. or well rotted manure.

Citizens State Bank to bring Home State Bank under its charter
The Citizens State Bank, based in Moundridge, has applied to bring Home State Bank & Trust Co. in McPherson under Citizens' state charter.
The banks are already under the same ownership. Bon Inc., the holding company for Citizens State Bank, acquired Home State Bank in December 2011.
"It will help us with some operational efficiencies," Randy Tegethoff, chief financial officer of Citizens State Bank and Bon, told me this morning in explaining a filing last week with the Office of the State Bank Commissioner. "Our customers, they shouldn't notice any difference."
When the charter consolidation is completed about midyear, customers of either bank will be able to do transactions at the other, Tegethoff says. Each bank will retain its own brand and identity.
"When we went into (the purchase), this was the ultimate goal," Tegethoff says.

Title: To Be Willing To Die For
Author: Raina
Summary: Some messages, some people, some causes are just simply worth dying for. One man will give the ultimate sacrifice of his life so another might live. More than one person will be effected by this, lives will be changed - but is all hope lost?
Warnings: Mentions of character death.
Author's Note: This story was inspired by the song 'No Greater Love' by Steven Curtis Chapman. Other, smaller parts of this story were inspired slightly by the song 'Hey You, I Love Your Soul' by Skillet. If one knows those songs, I am sure they can see the marks, the effects of those lyrics in this story. You have those musicians to thank for this tale.
What is this? Not a one-shot for a challenge? Can this be? Do not ask me where this came from, especially considering I have other tales I am supposed to be working on for my readers. -ducks behind Aragorn- It was his fault!
Man of courage with your message of peace
What is that look in your eyes?
Why have you come to this faraway place?
What is this story you would lay down your life to tell?
What kind of love can this be?
Trembling hands grasped weakly at the arrow that had mortally wounded him as he kneeled on the ground. Surprise flashed through the depths of his eyes, and pain slowly edged into the gray orbs. His eyes travelled to meet his attacker - no, his attackers - and his gaze filled with compassion and love, instead of hatred and anger that one would expect to find in the eyes of one that is looking upon their killer even as they die.
The look in the dying man's eyes brought his attackers up short. What was this look in his eyes? What did it mean? How could there be that undying love and sorrow and forgiveness in his fading eyes when they had killed him?
Aragorn's mouth opened and closed slightly as he fought to draw in breath. He reached out weakly as one of his killers approached him. The other man grasped the ranger's hand and placed another hand on Aragorn's shoulder. Strider leaned against the other man as he fought to stay upright. "I...," the ranger tried to speak but pain laced sharply through his consciousness, sapping his strength. Slowly, Aragorn began to crumple towards the ground.
"Easy now," the other man helped to make sure Aragorn didn't injure himself further as he lowered the ranger to the ground. "Brave man... I do not understand... Why did you do this - why have you come here? Why did you lay down your life? What is this story you would tell at all costs?"
Aragorn stared up at the man, confused. Why had they suddenly changed? A moment ago they would no sooner willingly drink poison than to talk to him. But he would take his chances. "Caer... it is about Caer."
The man beside Aragorn stiffened. Caer was a young man that had murdered the town leader - he was one of the most hunted men around this part of Minhiriath. Of course, they had all known that Strider was associating with the young man - it was part of the reason why they had shot him. He could not be trusted, they had all deemed. But there was something about the ranger, something about the look in his eyes, that had brought Aderyn forward to be with Strider even as he died.
"He didn't kill Jago, your town leader." Aragorn relayed his information. "I have evidence that proves his innocence. Do not kill Caer."
Aderyn hesitated. He wanted to believe Strider. But there was so much that pointed to Caer... "Evidence that proves his innocence, you say?"
The ranger nodded before stiffening and gasping with all his might for more breath. He had to prove Caer's impeccability before he gave up the ghost - he had to bring peace between these townspeople and the young man. Shifting to pull out the required proof - the evidence that would be a message of peace to them all - he closed his eyes tightly against the pain and struggled for his breath once more. "Here." Strider rasped out.
There is no greater love than this
There is no greater gift that can ever be given
To be willing to die so another might live
There is no greater love than this
Aderyn's eyes glistened with tears as he looked at the corroboration the ranger presented to him. Aragorn's hand gripped his arm with surprising strength.
"Don't let Caer hang. He has committed no crime." The ranger pleaded with the human before him. "Please."
Aderyn swallowed the lump in his throat as he looked at Strider who with his last breath and strength was begging for the life of another to be left intact. "Why do you do this?"
Strider coughed hard, blood coating his mouth as he struggled with his breathing. "Just don't... let... Caer hang... please!" His life was fading quickly now, he could feel it. The pain was receding, but he knew before his life was completely gone he had to be assured that Caer would not hang. Otherwise, all of this would be for naught.
"He will not hang." Aderyn assured the dying man. If this was the only comfort he could bring the selfless human, then he would give it to him. Surely, there was no greater love than what this man had shown him. And if it meant his own life as well to keep his promise to the dying ranger, then Aderyn would gladly give it.
"What did he say, Aderyn?" Ivorr approached the two and Aderyn stood to his feet, proffering the proof Strider had given him. Several of the other men drew nearer, one of them dropping down by the ranger's side, an unexplainable look in his eyes as he checked Strider over.
"Caer is innocent, and this ranger has given his life to prove this." He levelled a strong gaze at the older man's eyes. After a moment, Aderyn's gaze slipped back down to the ranger and he choked at what he saw. Tears began to fall, unchecked, unashamed. He was amazed at all that had happened.
Strider had given his life, and even when they had killed him he had still loved them and had forgiven them. Aderyn's life would be forever touched by this.
Broken hearted from all you have lost
How can you sing through your tears?
What is this music that can bear such a cost?
What is this fire that grows stronger against the wind?
What kind of flame can this be?
The tears that fell spoke of deep loss, and an empty gaze stared out unseeingly at the beautiful view before them. But there was no comfort to be found in the beauty of Rivendell, and Elrond's breath caught in his throat as his heart inside felt as if it had broken into a million tiny pieces.
A fortnight past they had received a missive, via Halbarad, from a sorrowed and guilt-filled young man, informing them that Strider, Ranger of the North, had given up his life to save the young man's. Young Caer had apologized profusely, and told them he had tried to persuade Strider from going to the townspeople on his behalf, but quite obviously to no avail.
Elrond could still recall the grief stricken looks that immediately accompanied the twins' expressions - looks that mirrored the shattering of his heart. His youngest... Elrond was not sure he could bare the thought of his son being taken from them all so early in his life. The last of Isildur's heirs killed, all because of townspeople that were a little too quick to judge and slow to compassion. The world's last hope, but more importantly his sons' hope - his hope - had been stripped brutally away from everyone by Death's cold hands.
But despite his heartache at all he had lost, Elrond found a warm feeling deep inside at how Aragorn had chosen to die. Elrond could not have asked for a more nobler or honourable death for his son, the one that had mended his family when it had been cracked apart by tragedy.
Stepping closer to the balustrade, the Lord of Rivendell found himself singing softly to no one in particular. A song of gratitude, a song of praise poured forth from his lips, creeping up from deep inside the smashed fragments of his heart.
Inside the room to which the balcony Elrond stood upon belonged, Elladan and Elrohir lounged upon a couch, their grief making manifestation of itself. The older of the twins had curled up in a corner of the lounge, sinking deep inside of himself. Elrohir lay beside his twin, his head resting just against Elladan's leg. Elrohir drew comfort from this contact, though Elladan found that he didn't have any consolation to give anyone, least of all himself.
When the soft melody of their father reached Elladan's ears, his gaze lifted to look through the open balcony window to the world outside. For several days the skies above had been overshadowed and there had been scattered showers, but in a lull in the rain their father had stepped out onto the enclosed, projecting platform.
Elladan was slouching from the waist up against the arm of the couch, and when he heard the soft voice singing from the veranda he slowly straightened out. Elrohir, having felt his brother's muscles tighten, lifted his head to allow his twin to stand. Curious at what Elladan was doing, Elrohir followed his brother's gaze out to their father. Slowly standing as well, the younger twin trailed his brother toward the balcony door.
The twins exchanged glances, wondering how their father could be lifting his voice in praise through the tears of grief they all shed. But as they listened to the words, Elladan and Elrohir began to understand. The thoughts that swam through their heads began to take on a course their father's had only moments before. And they understood.
Elrohir was the first to join Elrond's song.
They all knew that if they did not look upon the great deed their Estel had done that brought about his death, they would lose themselves to grief. The twins knew they couldn't do it again, if they lost themselves in their sorrow like they had when their mother sailed then it would destroy them. Elrond was of like mind.
The three did not need foresight to tell them that it was not their time to depart Middle Earth. But, it had been so much easier to stay in Arda when they had Estel; with him gone, it would be harder by tenfold to linger in these lands.
It was a strange thing - unexplainable - that as they sang their spirits lifted. They were far from soaring, but the sting of depression and the sea of sorrow that threatened to drown them, crush them, kill them had lessened. At the same time, though, their tears began to fall even more. Elrohir broke off singing first and leaned against his brother for support as he began to cry once more.
Elrond turned and approached his sons, wrapping his arms around their shoulders and resting his head against their own foreheads. For a time they just stood there, crying softly - yet still there rose a melody on the wind, though they had ceased to carry on the song. Their hearts still sang, deep and mournful. It sorrowed them that the people that had killed Aragorn had been so foolish as to shoot first and ask questions later - that they had not first acted upon love and compassion instead of their own fear and prejudice.
Yet just as their Estel, they could not find it within their hearts to blame the villagers... instead they felt for the folly of the burghers.
As they stood letting their sorrow and pain seep out of them, flow around them, and float away from them, the clouds above began to break up and the Sun peeked her head through and let her rays shine upon the Peredhil family as if to try and offer condolences. There was a flame of hope, love and passion that burned within them, and, despite the hard winds and storms that had tried to put it out through the trials and tribulations of the recent days, the fire grew stronger. They would not let hate dictate them any more.
The three looked up into each others' eyes, and a strange sense of peace - even though they still ached - settled upon them. For the first time, Elrond and his sons noticed the cloud coverage was breaking up and they turned their faces to the light above.
After a while, they all suddenly turned and came to stand next the to balustrade railing - the Sun above shone her rays upon the three elves and the wind teased their hair. Though their hearts still bled, whatever came, who ever travelled thus would not find them estranged. They were willing to face whatever came next with the hope, love and passion that Aragorn had taught them when he entered their lives.
Then they heard, drifting towards them on the gentle breezes, the sound of someone approaching the valley...
The End
A/N: Some people would say that it seems unlikely how I wrote Elrond and his family, but I am not sure I quite agree. When I wrote this, at that time, I did not realise, but part of their reactions could relate to the song 'With Hope' by Steven Curtis Chapman. Therefore, I think their reactions are believable, and quite possible. Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
