"Lego Indiana Jones is a Lego theme based on the Indiana Jones film franchise, licensed from Lucasfilm. The exclusive franchise (for the 'Construction Category Rights') was first announced in June 2007,[1] and followed the successful Lego Star Wars franchise, also with Lucasfilm. The first set of products were launched in 2008, based upon two of the three earlier films (Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade). Sets featuring scenes from the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, were released alongside the film, later in 2008. The Temple of Doom film was featured until 2009, in a large set which re-created the mine-cart chase using new narrow-gauge Lego train track.
The theme also features in a video game series. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures was released on June 3, 2008, based on the original trilogy. A sequel, called Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, was released in November 2009, including scenes from the new Kingdom of the Crystal Skull film, along with a level editor feature."

"What a way to start!"
For ewhat ever reason, I chose this book as my first ever audio book. What a way to start. For a guy who loves watching Discovery, this book was kind of like that.
Losts of medical / science talk, but told in away to be very understanding. I was never lost.
The story shared some great insite into historical events, and gives you a very good insider story into today's disease control.
I was never bored, the reader is easy to listen to.
Interesting and informative. Don't recommend for long listening periods--could get a little dry and boring (don't want you falling asleep at the wheel). Good for short bursts of listening--like waiting for someone or city driving. Good info.
"good book - bad reader"
the reader seems to have a lack of dexterity of the tip of her tongue which is distracting and sometimes hard to de-code over road noise. She is not able to annunciate words with a hard consonant and often slurs them into the next word or abbreviates them. We did enjoy the book anyway, it's the story of influenza research from pre 1800's to now. It could have been a lot better with another narrator.the reader seems to have a lack of dexterity of the tip of her tounge which is distracting.
"Hire an actor - please"
Why would they allow an author with multiple speech impediments read her own book?! Hire an actor, rerecord this and then it might be worthwhile listening to. As it is it feels like having an mildly put out teenager who hasn't gotten used to get braces it giving a class report. Which is a terrible pity, because Ms. Kolata's writing and subject matter are both gripping.
"Slips pages of the written book"
This is a very frustrating audiobook to read along with. She keeps slipping paragraphs and pages and I have to search for where she picks up again. I can't even finish with it.
"Good story, horrible non-professional narrator"
A professional narrator.
It was almost impossible to get past the narrator's voice.
The subject is too important to leave to a non- prof. narrator.
I have to agree with other reviewers that the author's lisp made it sometimes difficult to understand. But once I got used to it, I didn't notice it. I found the story enthralling but then I tend to like most medical mysteries, fact or fiction. I didn't know a lot about the 1918 flu and found the topic very, very interesting. While this definitely is not a comedy, I found myself laughing at the comparison of the two "expeditions" to obtain tissue samples. A guy with a shovel and two strong helpers, and a million dollar expedition with 2 tons of equipment, dozens of journalists and hazmat suits that took years to plan. The latter, of course, receiving federal funding. Also the description of the outcome of the expensive expedition as not being a failure was classic spin! I suggest you listen to the sample of the book and see if the narrator's speech will be too distracting to you before buying. If it won't, this is a great book. I will probably listen to it again. If you have listened to "Hot Zone" and liked it, you will like this one.
This is a great book, entertaining as well as informative. It covers the very real tragic episode of the 1918 influenza. Told in stories of individuals and the famlies. It goes on to explain some recent scares and why there was so much concern. There is a great story of the quest for the virus that caused the 1918 episode, found only recently. Loved it. I highly recommend the book for it's contents but the narrartor is terrible.
"Interesting material - narration terrible"
While I have no doubt that the entire audiobook is absorbing, I just could not finish listening to it all, as the narration is very bad. I find myself losing my place constantly while I try to figure out what the narrator is saying, and Ive lost patience with the whole thing. This is most unfortunate, and perhaps I will try again sometime, but time and life is short, and I have many other better-narrated audiobooks to listen to.

A flotilla of rubber ducks about to beach on the shores of Nova Scotia after travelling the world for more than a decade is being hailed as more than just flotsam and jetsam by oceanographers.
Scientists say the Chinese-made bath toys - part of a consignment including turtles, frogs and beavers lost overboard from a container ship in a Pacific storm - have provided valuable lessons about ocean currents.
A total of 29,000 of the toys, bound for America, were spilled into the sea when their steel container breached, and Dr Curtis Ebbesmeyer, a retired oceanographer based in Seattle, has been tracking their voyage ever since.
After drifting in circles with many tons of other lost cargo, in an area known as the "the great garbage patch" of the Pacific, they eventually floated north through whale pods to the Bering Sea. It took three to four years for them to inch their way through the ice packs of the Arctic Ocean before emerging into the Atlantic.
Some are believed to have floated south past the British Isles in 2001, on their way to warmer tropical waters. But most floated south by south-west with the currents and are expected to make landfall in Canada within the next few weeks - by now bleached white from their original yellow, but their survival a testimony to the durability of plastic.
"They will be a rare find, but they should be there any day now - maybe a child has already collected some but has no idea where they came from," said Dr Ebbesmeyer.
He has been using the voyage of the rubber ducks as a teaching aid on the movements of the oceans since hearing reports of them washing up on beaches in Alaska in the autumn of 1992.
He decided to follow them as part of his efforts to track global currents and test computerised tidal models for accuracy, and estimates that they have travelled 20,000 miles. "The trick is to get people to report the things they find on the beaches. I am sure these ducks are now heading south after passing eastern Greenland and making their way past Labrador. They should be off the coast of Nova Scotia," he said.
The ducks may still have traces of the name of the company that made them, The First Years, across their chests. A company spokesman said that the company was "surprised" at the durability of the product. However, Dr Ebbesmeyer is confident that they can survive years more at sea.

text: Here is what I feel I want/need as far as features... I'd like to spend between $300 to $400 if possible? Have a screen I can flip backwards for over head shots or when I am in front of the camera. Record in 1080 HD. Flash memory internal and upgradable with SD cards. (less/no moving parts for recording at the range) I dont want HDD or mini HD tapes. external mic input jack for a lapel or hand held mic. (this is a tough feature to find on lower priced HD cameras I noticed?) Decent optical zoom. X20 is good for me. Auto macro for close up details. image stabilization. I am not a fan of touch screen interface? I am old school and like a toggle joystick if given a choice? Slow-mo feature would be nice but I guess not really needed since slo-mo can be done on the video editing software. Format? I had a Sony before and it was a pain sometimes to get it to work with some editing software? Thanks

If you have a busy and crowded desktop, Fences would be the ideal application for you. The program helps you arrange the icons into categories so you do not have to look for the most used icons too long and also hide the rarely used icons from the desktop.
This way you will keep your desktop clean and organized. An unlimited number of fences can be created on the desktop, the items can be hidden with a single double click and the fences can be customized to better manage them.
Fences is a nice app but keep in mind that it can also drain quite a lot of system resources. So don't install it on some ancient rig.

In February I was in Mexico for 2 weeks and the weather was perfect but it was not the season of fluorescence sadly. On the last day, while waiting for the taxi to the airport I went out to the pool and beach for a last "moment" and lo and behold: there were 2 of the weirdest looking coconuts I have ever seen! Just waiting for me (and my camera)!
I spent some time once home "asking the Google" to identify this curious condition on the coconut husks and learned that the coconut mite is the responsible party. Apparently they are a major pest in coconut plantations and have a very particular way of eating their way down the husk. I am still thinking about a possible painting to come but either way, I learned something new.

UPDATE: H.C. Wainwright nitiates on Clovis Oncology On Prospects Of CO-1686
In a report published Friday, H.C. Wainwright & Co. analyst Caroline Stewart initiated a Neutral rating on Clovis Oncology (NASDAQ: CLVS) and set a price target of $55.00.
In the report, H.C. Wainwright & Co. says "We believe that the current market valuation for CLVS fairly values: 1) CO-1686 (a small molecule covalent mEGFR inhibitor) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) driven by mutated EGFR (mEGFR); and 2) platform value for rucaparib (a PARP1/2 inhibitor) for the potential treatment of ovarian and breast cancers. While we believe that CO-1686 could eventually demonstrate a best-in-class profile and see the commercial opportunity in mEGFR NSCLC as sizable (estimated $2.5B+), we see the risk-reward as still fundamentally balanced on the prospects of upcoming Phase 1/2 data, even with the recent market pullback (to an EV of ~$1B)."
Clovis closed on Thursday at $52.89.

There are Italian restaurants in the East Bay that serve food that's a bit more refined or more perfectly executed, but Desco offers something rare indeed: a hearty plate of pasta cranked out quickly enough that anyone working near downtown Oakland can enjoy a civilized meal and still get back to the office with time to spare. Chef-owner Donato Scotti touts his use of sustainable ingredients, and the food is meant to be simple and comforting — traditional dishes plated without pomp or fuss. As an added bonus, during lunch, each pasta or pizza is priced about $2 or $3 cheaper compared to the dinner menu, though the portion sizes are the same. Standouts include the casonsei (plump pork-stuffed pasta topped with crispy guanciale), the fresh pappardelle tossed in a lamb-cheek tomato sauce, and the piadina desco, a flatbread sandwich filled with pork belly, asiago cheese, and sauerkraut-like braised cabbage.

I can't imagine why the fabulous Stromboli sandwich didn't get a mention. Serves 2 and is completely satisfying, piled high with Italian cold cuts.
We find the service very friendly and neighborly. We're in several times a month.
Megan has done a wonderful job with this thoughtful piece, part memoir, part jeremiad, part questioning essay.
To think there was never any differentiation between natives & newcomers in some past time is mistaken. My mom moved to NOLA during World War II & at her funeral in 1993, folks were saying "You know she was not from here." When the Unitarian pastor Theodore Clapp arrived in the city in the early 1800s, he noted in his autobiography that leaders of his church were not natives to the city. Seems we have always made the distinction; it doesn't have to be taken as an insult. It might be an appropriate caution that there may be important things a newcomer doesn't yet know.
NOLA in the period between the late 1960s & late 80s was plagued with low self-esteem & arrivals of national chain stores & fast food outlets seemed like validation to many of us. The law of unintended consequences means NOLA lost some local institutions because of that influx. Only in the late 90s & early 21st C did we in NOLA realize that the locavore movement would mean cherishing our own foods & ways that we had earlier spurned.
This is not the NOLA I grew up in either, & I'm a lot older than Megan! True, not all change is bad, but NOLA's very resistance to some changes has served her well. Please remember that parts of the French Quarter (considered a slum) would have been destroyed for an expressway.
What happens in the future no one can know, but I'm convinced that we all have a hand in making what we hope for--rather than what we fear--come true.
Great work, Megan!
The Pray for Avondale campaign is both spiritual and educational -- it galvanizes both hearts and minds, and unites diverse people in a common purpose. Work can be another form of prayer, and those who informed of the situation, its impact on our community and on the lives of so many families may be inspired and enheartened to get involved in other, more concrete, ways. I don't blame anyone for such poor experiences of religion that they don't believe in the power of prayer, but this campaign is one way of bringing a lot of people together across faith lines in an important cause. Many will go on to take action, both congregationally and individually.

Validea's pick of the week provides a detailed report on a company that scores well in the stock-screening service's model portfolios. On Validea.ca, investors can analyze 1,000 Canadian stocks through 12 different guru-based models and get individual reports on each company. Globe Investor has a distribution agreement with Validea.ca. Try it.
U.S.-based Heartland Payment Systems Inc. delivers credit/debit/prepaid card processing, payroll, check management and payments solutions, to more than 250,000 business locations nationwide. It has a market cap of $1.7-billion (U.S.)
Heartland has grown EPS at a 22-per-cent clip over the long term (using avg of 3 & 5 yr EPS growth rates). It has $71-million in annual earnings versus just $200-million in long-term debt, meaning it could use its earnings to pay off its debt in less than three years, which the Warren Buffett model likes.
The company has increased EPS in each year of past half decade, helping it earn strong interest from the James O'Shaughnessy growth approach. The O'Shaughnessy model also likes its combination of a good relative strength (69) and low price/sales ratio (0.77).
Heartland gets strong interest from the Joel Greenblatt model, which likes its 95-per-cent return on capital, using the EBIT/tangible capital employed metric. The Greenblatt model also likes its 10.3-per-cent earnings yield (EBIT/enterprise value).
The Kenneth Fisher model likes its low price/sales ratio, and positive free cash flow ($1.28 per share)
Heartland has a solid 31-per-cent return on equity, more than four times the industry average (7 per cent). And it has averaged a 30.2-per-cent return on retained earnings over past decade, earning high marks from the Buffett model.
John Reese is long HPY.

1. Field of the Invention
The embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a calibration tool and a method for determining the position of an object.
2. Background of the Invention
The use of robots in automated processing systems has become increasingly popular. Robots can often perform repeated tasks with the precision and efficiency generally not achievable through the use of human labor. Moreover, robots can be used in locations where the proximity to moving components or hazardous materials makes the use of human labor in such locations undesirable.
Typically, when power is first supplied to a robot that performs complex or precision movements, the robot must establish one or more reference points or coordinates in each axis through which the robot travels. The establishment of these reference coordinates is commonly called homing. For example, a robot may be homed by jogging the robot, either manually or using an automated sequence, to a reference point. Arrival of the robot at the reference point may be confirmed by manually observing the robots end effector's position, or by having the effectuator (or other component of the robot) trigger a sensor, such as a limit switch. This sequence is typically repeated until all the reference coordinates for each axis of the robot's motion has been established (i.e., entered into the robot's or robot controller's memory).
Once the reference coordinates have been established, the robot can determine the precise location of the effectuator by referencing the position of the effectuator against the reference coordinates. For example, a stepper motor that provides motion to one axis of the robot may be coupled to an encoder that counts the number of shaft revolutions of the motor. Each shaft revolution is equated to a distance moved by the effectuator. As the controller keeps track of the distance moved as indicated by the controller against the reference coordinated, the precise location of the effectuator may be maintained by the controller. Thus, if the effectuator is to be moved a certain distance from its current position, the controller can signal the motor to rotate a prescribed number of revolutions that can be confirmed by the encoder as part of an open or closed loop system.
FIG. 1 depicts a simplified schematic of a front end 100 of a semiconductor processing system that provides an illustrative example of a robot that requires precise movements to prevent damage to a workpiece. The front end 100 generally includes one or more semiconductor storage cassettes 102 that facilitate the storage of a plurality of substrates, such as semiconductor wafers 112. Typically, the wafer storage cassette 102 includes a housing 104 having at least one open end 116 through which wafers 112 may be transferred into and out of the storage cassette 102. Inside the storage cassette 102 are a plurality of rails 114 are spaced to create a plurality of slots 106. Each slot 106 receives a respective wafer 112.
Typically, a wafer handling mechanism, for example a wafer transfer robot 122, is used to transfer the semiconductor wafers 112 from the wafer storage cassette 102 to the other components of the wafer processing system. Typically, the transfer robot 122 comprises a transfer arm 124 having an end effector or gripper 126 disposed at the end of the transfer arm 124. The gripper 126 may be a wand or an edge clamp that secures the wafer 112 to the robot 122 during the transfer of the wafer. Generally, the gripper 126 of the wafer transfer robot 122 is inserted into the wafer storage cassette 102 to retrieve one of the wafers 112 disposed therein. In order to insure accurate positioning in the gripper 126 (and wafers 112) within the cassette 102, the location of the gripper 126 relative to the cassette 102 is recorded in the robot's memory when the gripper 126 is in a predetermined position within the cassette 102. An example of such a position is a position that aligns with the center of the wafer 112 when the wafer is properly positioned within the cassette 102.
If the position is recorded incorrectly, the robot 122 may be misaligned with a wafer when transferred to other components of the system or deposit a wafer in a misaligned position relative to the wafer storage cassette 102 as depicted in FIG. 1 by wafer 118. The misaligned wafer 118 may become damaged or damage other wafers. For example, a wafer 120 disposed on the gripper 126 of the transfer robot 122 may come in contact with the misaligned wafer 118 during movement of the wafer 120 that is secured to the robot 122. If the wafers 118, 120 contact one another, one or both of the wafers may become damaged. Moreover, one or both of the wafers 118, 120 may become dislodged. A dislodged or fallen wafer typically requires an operator to shut down the system and remove the wafer before further processing can occur.
Typically, homing of the robot's gripper in a wafer storage cassette is done manually. An operator must observe the location of the gripper within the cassette to visually estimate the correct position of the gripper. In order to access the cassette when performing this task, the operator is in a position exposed to the range of motion of the robot. Thus, to prevent possible injury to the operator, the processing system is normally shut down so that robot does not inadvertently make contact with the operator, possibly damaging product, tooling or the operator. During periods where the system is shut down, no wafers are processed and valuable production time is lost.
Therefore, a need exists for an improved calibration and method for determining the position of an object.
One aspect of the present invention generally provides an apparatus for determining a position of an object. In one embodiment, an apparatus for determining a position of an object includes a locating plate, a window and a camera. The camera is positioned to view a target through the window disposed in the locating plate. The object on which the target is disposed may be viewed by the camera enabling the relative position between the locating plate and the object to be determined. In another embodiment, the image produced by the camera is viewed on a display remotely located from the apparatus.
In another aspect of the invention, a system for determining a position of an object is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a target disposed on the object and a portable tool. The tool includes a locating plate coupled to a housing. A window is disposed in the locating plate or the housing and has an indicia disposed thereon. A camera is disposed between the housing and the locating plate. The camera positioned to view the target through the window.
In another aspect of the invention, a method for determining a position is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of locating a calibration tool in a predefined position, viewing an object thought a window disposed in the calibration tool, and determining the relative position between an indicia disposed on the window and the object.
The teachings of the present invention can be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 (Prior Art) depicts a wafer storage cassette and a wafer transfer robot illustrating one mode of wafer damage due to poor calibration of the transfer robot;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of one embodiment of a calibration tool disposed in a substrate storage cassette;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment of a calibration tool;
FIG. 4 depicts an elevation of one embodiment of a polisher in which the calibration tool of FIG. 3 may be utilized; and
FIG. 5 depicts one mode of operation of the calibration tool of FIG. 3;
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures.
The present invention generally provides a calibration tool for determining the position of an object. The invention is illustratively described below with reference to determining the position of a robot's end effector relative to a substrate storage cassette and aligning components within a chemical mechanical polishing system. However, it should be understood that the invention has utility in other semiconductor processing system configurations, such as physical vapor deposition systems, chemical vapor deposition systems, etch systems, ion implant systems and any other systems, including those outside of the realm of semiconductor processing, in which the precise determination of a position of an object is desired.
FIG. 2 depicts a calibration tool 200 disposed in a substrate storage cassette 202. The calibration tool 200 generally comprises a camera 204 and locating plate 206. The locating plate 206 includes a window 208 disposed therein. The camera 204 views an object, such as an end effector 210 of a robot 212, through the window 208 to obtain a image that depicts the position of the end effector 210 relative to the locating plate 206. To aid in the resolution of the effector's position, a target 214 is marked or otherwise projected upon the effector 210. Alternatively, the target 214 may be disposed on a removable sheath 216 that is placed over the tip of the end effector 210.
The window 208 may comprise a portion of the locating plate 206, material such as acrylic, quartz or polycarbonate. The window 208 may comprise a portion of the locating plate 206, or comprise the entire locating plate.
The locating plate 206 generally includes an indicia 218 that is disposed on the window 208. The indicia 218 provides a "cross-hair" for the camera 204 as the camera 204 views through the window 208. The indicia 218 may be a circle, cross or other mark suitable for delineating a point of reference. The locating plate 206 is typically comprised of aluminum, stainless steel, plastic or other rigid material. The locating plate 206 is configured to position the tool 200 in a predetermined position relative to another object, for example, the substrate storage cassette 202. In one embodiment, the locating plate 206 includes a flange 220 disposed at least partially along the perimeter of the locating plate 206. At least a portion of the flange 220 has a radius configured to replicate (i.e., is substantially identical to) a substrate. The flange 220 may alternatively be a ring having an outside diameter equivalent to the diameter of the substrate for which the cassette 202 is designed. The locating plate 206 may alternative include other means for positional orientation relative to the cassette 202, such as slots, holes, pins, mating geometry, stepped surfaces and the like.
For example, when the calibration tool 200 is positioned in the substrate storage cassette 202, at least a portion of the flange 220 has a radius equivalent to a radius of the substrate (i.e., the flange has a 200 mm radius for use in systems configured for 200 mm substrates and so forth). The mounting flange 220 of the calibration tool 200 interfaces with one of a plurality of wafer receiving slots 222 defined between rails 268 disposed within the substrate storage cassette 202 positioning the mounting flange 220 as if it was a substrate. Generally, the tool 200 is positioned such that the indicia 218 disposed in the mounting flange 220 is in a position concentric with the substrates (when the substrates are loaded in the cassette).
A housing 224 is mounted to the locating plate 206. The housing 224 includes sides 226 and cover 228. The sides 226 and cover 228 may comprise a polymer or metal, such as anodized aluminum. In one embodiment, the sides 226 of the housing 224 are coupled to the locating plate 206 inward of the flange 220.
The camera 204, for example a monochrome board mounted camera available from Edmund Industrial Optics, of Barrington, N.J., is typically coupled by a plurality of stand-offs to the center of the cover 228 above the window 208. Alternatively, the camera 204 may be located in other positions within the tool 200, for example, coupled to the locating plate 206. The camera 204 is provided with a lens 230. The lens 230 is selected to have a depth of field 232 such that the indicia 218 is in focus. Additionally, the depth of field 232 should allow for the end effector 210 to be in focus at a reasonable distance from the window 208. In one embodiment, the lens 230 is a 8.5 mm focal length lens also available from Edmund Industrial Optics.
A light 234 is disposed within the housing 224 and illuminates the window 208 and indicia 218. The light 234 is typically mounted to the cover 228 by a bracket 236. The bracket 236 positions the light 234 to the side of the camera 204 and at an angle that allows the beam generated by the light 234 to additionally illuminate the end effector 210 when in a position reasonably proximate the window 208.
The light 234 is typically coupled to a power source 238. The power source 238 may be remote such as facility power or self-contained on the tool 200 such as a battery. A switch 240 is disposed on an exterior side 242 of the cover 228 to allow the light 234 to be activated. The switch 240 may alternatively be remotely operated or disposed remote from the tool 200, such as being a disposed in the controller 266. In one embodiment, the power source 238 is a battery disposed on the exterior side 242 of the cover 228.
To prevent inefficient use of the battery's power, a circuit-opening device 244 is disposed between the battery 238 and the light 234. The circuit-opening device 244 is generally coupled to the cover 228 inside of the housing 224. It should be noted that any one or all of the components mounted to the cover 228 may alternatively be coupled to the locating plate 206 or sides 226 of the housing 224. In one embodiment, the circuit-opening device 244 is a board mounted timer. Alternatively, the circuit-opening device 224 may be a relay, a solid state timing device (i.e., a timer) that may have integral controls or be controlled remotely, such as by software, a programmable controller (PLC) or a system controller 266. Since the circuit-opening device 244 effectively turns off the calibration tool 200 after use, the tool can be retrieved from the cassette 202 at the leisure of the operator while the robot draws substrates from adjoining cassettes not shown. This allows for a processing system utilizing multiple cassettes to perform calibration of the robot while minimizing the effect on product through-put.
Information regarding the vertical proximity of the end effector 210 to the locating plate 206 is provided by a sensor 246. In one embodiment, the sensor 246 is a proximity switch mounted to the locating plate 206. The sensor 246 may be a mechanical limit switch, an optical device, a proximity detector or other object detection device.
When the end effector 210 is disposed a predetermined distance from the locating plate 206, the sensor 246 generates a signal indicative of the position of the end effector 210. For example, at the predetermined distance from the locating plate 206, the proximity of the end effector 210 to the sensor 246 causes the sensor 246 to provide a signal that triggers an indicator 248. The indicator 248 may be an audio indicator, a visual indicator or a virtual switch such as an "internal coil" in a software program or PLC. In one embodiment, the indicator 248 is an audible alarm coupled to the cover 228. Alternatively, other indicators may be utilized such as indicator lights, remote displays, communication to the controller 266 or other device, text messages and the like.
A display 250 is provided to view the image 252 generated by the camera 204. The display 250 may be part of the controller 266 coupled to a system interfacing with the substrate storage cassette 202 directly or remotely to the calibration tool 200. The display 250 may receive the image 252 from the camera 204 via a cable or broadcast signal (e.g., wireless signal). In one embodiment, the display 250 is coupled to a receiver 254 that receives a signal from a transmitter 256 that is coupled to the camera 204. Typically, the transmitter 256 is located within the housing 224 and broadcasts the signal to the receiver 254.
One mode of operation for one embodiment of the calibration tool 200 is provided for illustration. The calibration tool 200 is switched on and disposed in the substrate storage cassette 202. The cassette 202 is disposed in a predetermined position that allows repeatable access by the robot 212. The coordinate reference system is then established by jogging the end effector 210 of the robot 212 into the cassette 202 proximate the bottom of the locating plate 206.
The camera 204 provides an image 258 of the target 214 disposed on the end effector 210 on the display 250. If the image 258 of the target 214 is not in focus, the end effector 210 may be jogged closer to the locating plate 206 until the target 214 is within the depth of field 232 of the lens 230 and in focus on the display 250. As the view of the camera 204 is through the window 208, an image 260 of the indicia 218 is also shown on the display 250.
The x/y position of the end effector 210 relative to the indicia 218 is viewed on the display 250. The end effector 210 may be jogged along either axis until the images indicia 260 and target 262 align. The jogging sequence may be done "by eye" or by proving commands to the robot's controller to move discrete distances. To facilitate the distance needed to move the end effector 210, the display 250 may optionally project a grid 264 on the display. The grid 264 is configured to allow the distance between the target's image 262 and the indicia=3 s image 260 to be resolved by counting the number of grid lines between the target's image 262 and the indicia's image 260 along each axis.
Optionally, the controller 266 may process the digital misalignment between the target's image 262 and indicia's image 260 and resolve the necessary movements required to align the target 220 and indicia 218. Additionally, the controller 266 may additionally control the movement of the robot 212 in a closed-loop system. A closed-looped system may optionally be controlled completely by software, thus eliminating the need for a display 250.
FIG. 3 depicts another embodiment of a calibration tool 300. The tool 300 is substantially similar to the calibration tool 200 described in reference to FIG. 2 except a window 302 having an indicia 304 is disposed in the cover 306 of the tool 300. A locating plate 308 of the tool 300 is disposed opposite the cover 306 allowing objects to be seen by a camera 310 disposed within the tool 300 on the side of the tool 300 opposite the locating plate 308.
FIG. 4 depicts an elevation of an example of a chemical mechanical planarization polisher 400 in which the tool 300 may be utilized. One polisher 400 in which the invention may be utilized is a Mirra� chemical mechanical polisher, available from Applied Materials, Inc., of Santa Clara, Calif. The exemplary polisher 400 generally comprises a carousel 402 supporting one or more polishing heads 404, one or more polishing platens 406 (one is shown), and at least one load cup 416. A controller 408. is provided to facilitate control of the polisher 400. The controller 408 comprises a central processing unit (CPU) 410, a memory 412, and support circuits 414. The controller 408 is coupled to the various components of the polisher 400 to facilitate control of, for example, the transfer of a substrate between a loading robot 404 and the load cup 416.
The carousel 402 is generally described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,738,574, issued Apr. 15, 1998 to Tolles, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Generally, the carousel 402 is centrally disposed on a base 440 of the polisher 400. The carousel 402 typically includes a plurality of arms 450, each arm supporting one of the polishing heads 404. The carousel 402 is indexable such that the polishing heads 404 may be moved between the polishing platens 406 and the load cup 416.
The polishing head 404 may be a TITAN II wafer carrier available from Applied Materials, Inc., of Santa Clara, Calif. The polishing head 404 generally retains a substrate against the platen 406 during polishing. Typically, the polishing head 404 is coupled to the arm 450 of the carousel 402 by a drive system 418. The drive system 418 generally provides motion to the polishing head 404 radially along the arm 450 of the carousel 402. The controller 408 controls the drive system 418.
Optionally, the polishing head 404 may be supported by a drive system that is coupled to the base of the polisher. Such a drive system typically provides an x/y motion to the polishing head relative to a stationary platen. One system that provides such a drive system is a FLATLAND� chemical mechanical polishing system, available from Applied Materials, Inc., of Santa Clara, Calif.
The load cup 416 generally moves vertically to interface with the polishing head 404 while transferring the substrate therebetween. As the positional accuracy between the load cup 416 and polishing head 404 is critical to avoid damage to the substrate during transfer, in one embodiment the load cup 418 includes oversized holes 444 that allow the load cup to move about mounting screws 442 disposed through the holes 444. The clearance around the screws 442 allows the load cup 416 to be adjusted on the base 440 so that the load cup can be aligned with the polishing head 404. Alternatively, the software controlling the drive system 418 may adjust the position of the polishing head 404 along the arm 450 of the carousel 402 or the angular rotation of the carousel 402 to provide alignment between the load cup 416 and polishing head 404.
A loading robot 420 is generally positioned proximate a factory interface (not shown) and the load cup 416 such that the range of motion provided by the robot 420 facilitates transfer of the substrates therebetween. The loading robot 420 may be any one of a number of robots having the range of motion that facilitates substrate transfer between the factory interface and the load cup 416. An example of a loading robot 420 is a 4-Link robot, manufactured by Kensington Laboratories, Inc., located in Richmond, Calif.
In one embodiment, the loading robot 420 includes an end effector 422, such as a vacuum gripper, that secures the substrate thereto during substrate transfer. The end effector 422 may include a target 424 disposed thereon. Alternatively, the target 424 may be disposed on a removable sheath 426 that covers the end effector 422. The target 424 provides a reference point on the robot 420 that is used to determine the position of the end effector 422.
FIG. 5 depicts an example of one mode of operation in which the tool 300 may be utilized on the polisher 400 to align the load cup 416 and the polishing head 404. Generally during the alignment process, the tool 300 is secured to a tool receiving surface 510 disposed on the polishing head 404. Alternatively, the tool receiving surface 510 may be disposed on the arm 450 of the carousel 402 so that the tool 300 may be mounted thereto in lieu of the polishing head 404. The load cup 416 may contain a target 506 disposed thereon, or retain the target may be disposed on a dummy wafer retained by the load cup.
In one embodiment, the locating plate 308 is disposed against the tool receiving surface 510 that is disposed in the polishing head 404. As the locating plate 308 simulates a substrate, the locating plate 308 positions the tool 300 relative the polishing head 404 as if it was the substrate. The camera 310, facing downward from the locating plate 308, views the target 506 through the window 302 disposed in the cover 306. As the carousel 402 moves the polishing head 404 into position over the load cup 416, the camera 310 provides an image 502 of the indicia 304 and an image 504 of the target 506 on the display 500. If the indicia's image 502 and target's image 504 are not aligned, the polishing head 404 and load cup 416 are moved relative each other until the image 502 of the indicia 304 and the image 504 of the target 506 align.
In one mode of operation, the mounting screws 442 securing the load cup 416 to the base 440 of the polisher 400 may be loosened to allow the load cup 416 to move laterally relative to the base 440. The load cup 416 is moved until the images of indicia 502 and target 504 align, then the screws 442 are tightened to hold the load cup 416 in place.
In another mode of operation, the software controlling the position of the polishing head 404 is adjusted via operator input or an automated closed loop. Optionally, the position of the polishing head 404 may be adjusted by mechanical means such as adjustable stops, stroke adjustments, adjustment screws and the like.
In another mode of operation, the tool 300, when disposed in either the polishing head 404, the carousel 402 or the load cup 416, may be utilized to align (i.e., set the positional reference point) the loading robot 420 to the load cup 416. Generally, the tool 300 is mounted to the polisher 400, for example, in any of the conventions described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The target 424 disposed in the end effector 422 is moved so that the target may be viewed by the camera 310 and projected as an image on the display 500. Thus, the relative position of the end effector 422 to the indicia 304 of the tool held by the polishing head 404 (or other component having the tool positioned therein) may be determined as described with reference to FIG. 2.
Optionally, as depicted in FIG. 6, a second target 608 may be disposed on the side of the end effector opposite the side on which the first target 424 is disposed. Thus, when using calibration tools simultaneously disposed in different locations that require the target to be disposed on opposing sides of the end effector 422, the alignment processes between various components coupled to the system can be quickly accomplished without having to stop and move the target. As such, the relative positions between the polishing head, load cup and end effector may be determined quickly and with fewer steps.
The other embodiments of a calibration tool may be utilized in other locations on the polishing system. For example, a calibration tool similar to the tool 300 described above may be disposed in the load cup and utilized to align the polishing head or robot.
Although various embodiments which incorporate the teachings of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can readily devise many other varied embodiments that still incorporate these teachings.

Mother of Navy yard shooter 'so, so very sorry'
NEW YORK — The mother of the man who killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard says she is "so, so very sorry that this has happened."
Cathleen Alexis said Wednesday in New York City that she does not know why her son, Aaron, did what he did and she will never be able to ask him.
The mother read a statement at her home in Brooklyn. She concluded, "My heart is broken."
She did not want to appear on camera and did not take questions from a reporter.

So far... this game is awesome!
For the people that judged everything broken in the beta.. Are you serious?The beta is used for exactly that, correcting errors.
Servers are fixed, and only have had one problem throughout the few days that I have been able to play this amazing game.
One error is that when you start a party search, only a few people get taken or none at all.But the best part about this is that they are fixing this, so Im all good with what they are doing.
Tom Clancy has always been my favorite creator in games and books, so this game is a dream come true for me, especially with how much teamwork comes in this game.
As far as balance goes, I believe this game was insanely balanced, you cannot get to held up in an objective, and the Attackers are well equipped to take out a heavily fortified defending team. As well as Attackers that are heavily fortified to see the defenders out smart them.
Some people talk about their gamemodes, and I agree with some. I believe the amount of content they put out is just enough for me to handle. As they have stated that more content will be released as years go on.
Now one of my favorite things about this game, is the same thing that was my favorite with Battlefield-taking years to make the next game. This allowed the company to improve gamemodes and create a lot cooler characters and changes the game up.
TL:DRThis game is flipping amazing, great content, fixing the small amount of errors they have.Love it.
Ive made this thread to talk about this game, and I will answer question people have about this game.Happy Hunting.
Yeah, that's my issue with the game right now because I pretty much always have a full squad and it takes a while to get everyone into the same game. At least on XB I found that if you go under Squad > Switch Profile and click on your same account to refresh your server connection, you have a greater chance of having everyone in the match together.
Other than that, I'm loving the game, too. I find it interesting how R6:S has a lot of similarities to Evolve, can't wait to see how it pans out.
There are a few others but I'm too tired to list them lolJust like Evolve, I find I'll play this game a lot more when I have friends online to join. I've never played a Tom Clancy video game but I agree this one is freaking great.
I encountered a lot of problems in the beta, mainly server related. I didn't actually play many full games, but it's a beta so it wasn't going to be perfect. From what I played of it, I absolutely loved it. It has a nice steady pace so you have time to plan your actions.
I liked the feeling of playing as the defenders and waiting for the attackers to breach the building. You have no idea where they will breach so it makes the waiting really tense.
I'll 100% be getting this game soon, possibly for christmas so I have my fingers crossed.
@MrTalha and @MultiDavid are the two glorious people who got me trough the open beta mostly unharmed.
...Or the other way around, considering I played pointman half the time.
The game is actually pretty good. Not a buy for me and my wallet, I need to be ready for steam sales, but I know a game like this will wait and not die anyhow soon.
Also, 10/10, when you say "Wait up, let me lead, I got a shield." people actually listen.
I only got the last open Beta to work the last few hours. I teamed up with @Tomsmeatplatter and we even had fun when two members of our team decided to start a civil war and shoot me in the head.
I wanted to keep playing and I had PowerUp points to use, so I bought it. I keep running into people I've played Evolve with and teaming up. It's fun.
The game is good ..
I'm loving Blitz and Castle..
Sledge! Sledge! Sledge! Sledge! Sledge! He's the best
us, they shot us in the head...lol
Well, we sure got them in the next round!
Never team kill, unless they're afk. Then do it every time. They deserve it.
I am looking forward to the divisionhopefully another amazing TC game!
On a different note, what would you rate R6S out of 10?
My only problem is just when Evolve released there wasn't a lot of content. It's amazing but it's not worth $60. I wish it had campaign and more game modes. Besides that I've been having a lot of fun in it.
Yeah, I only got it because I had enough GameStop rewards to get a free game.
And I looked up new titles and there isn't anything I'm interested in buying until around June of next year, so.... I needed another fun game to switch out over the next 6 months lol
To me it feels like R6:S has less content than Evolve did at launch. And the Season Pass or Gold Edition (game w/ pass) seems like the the amount of content the base game should have. And that's $90 worth instead.
Unlike evolve though, you don't need their season pass because you're getting all the content regardless of the pass or not (Evolve you don't and its two different "hunting seasons" as opposed to one "season" pass.) with the Siege season pass--you just get a renown booster, access to the future operators a week early, and weapon skins.
But if you just rack up the points then you can unlock to operators like that when they're released to the public.
Are you sure? I thought you have to pay for the extra Operators?
No you don't. All maps and operators are free.
Nope, I'm like 88.95% sure the Dev team stated it more than once that for the future operators; with the pass you get them a week early and instant unlock.
All maps/modes will be free no matter what.
Yeah, not worth the extra $40 IMO
$30 actually.
Eh whatever. Including tax if you get the game and pass, it's between 30 and 40
@Daisy_Slayer they did say that, I think they estimated it will take about 25 hrs to unlock each new Operator if you don't pay for them either with the pass or R6 credits.

text: Submitted by Michelle Vames on Wed, 12/07/2016 - 2:45pm Northern NJ museums that are great for children When bad weather hits, a trip to a museum can be a great cure for cabin fever. With winter upon us, it's time to check out a few local gems that offer kids hands-on art and science exploration. At these northern New Jersey museums, kids can study the stars at a planetarium, learn about dinosaurs that once roamed modern-day New Jersey, create their own works of art, meet animals, make music, and much more. They're guaranteed to learn something—and get nice and tired in the process. Read on for five of our favorite spots in northern New Jersey, and be sure to check out our roundup of museums in central and southern New Jersey, too. The Infinity Climber is a suspended, multi-story play space at Liberty Science Center. Liberty Science Center – Jersey City It's virtually impossible to cover everything Liberty Science Center has to offer in just one day. This interactive science center and learning museum, located in Liberty State Park, boasts four floors of exhibits and experiences. Just a few include: a kids' lab where budding scientists can conduct experiments, the Infinity Climber (shown above), and—my kids' personal favorite—I Explore, where 2–5-year-olds can send balls whooshing through pneumatic tubes, build and test race cars, play with a giant light wall, and scoop and pour rice to their hearts' content. You can see a movie or laser show in LSC's IMAX and 3D theaters, catch an interactive demonstration on topics ranging from rocket science to surgery, or take a MakerLab class in 3D printing. LSC hosts birthday parties and overnight camp-ins, and its Cafe Skylines serves kid-friendly far like chicken fingers and pizza, as well as a salad bar, soup, and sandwiches. (If you'd rather eat elsewhere, there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants nearby.) Admission ranges from $21.75 – $31.75 per adult (13+) and $17.75 – $25.75 for kids ages 2–12, depending on whether you choose basic admission or add on movie options and entrance to premium exhibits. Additional fees apply for special programs. Closed Mondays. Imagine That!!! – Florham Park Imagine That!!! Discovery Museum for Children specializes in preschool-age and young schoolchildren. The 16,000-square-foot space has a bit of a warehouse vibe, but it has lots to keep little ones entertained and has been an oasis for us on bad-weather days. The museum features more than 50 exhibits and experiences based on play and discovery, including an arts and crafts area, music room, a mini dance studio with mirrors and a barre, and a vehicle showroom where kids can climb on and in a car, airplane, fire truck, motorcycle, and tractor. Several themed areas that invite kids to play pretend include a grocery store and diner, doctor's office, and TV news room. Other attractions include a giant pirate ship with a slide, a soft play-scape for climbing and exploring, and an "Around the World" exhibit that showcases items from various cultures. Admission is $10.95 for kids 1 and up, and $9.95 for adults. Imagine That!!! has five party rooms and a cafe, as well as a gift shop stocked with a variety of educational toys. Open 7 days a week. The Newark Museum – Newark Though not exclusively a children's museum, Newark Museum is a gem that has plenty of offerings for kids and families. Highlights include interactive galleries where visitors can explore topics ranging from plate tectonics to Tibetan life; a planetarium where you can see video from the Cassini spacecraft's ongoing exploration of Saturn's rings; and a fire museum where kids can climb into the cab of a real fire truck and learn about fire safety in the Hazard House. Special programs for kids include Creative Play, geared toward kids ages 3–5, and Family Workshops, for kids ages 5–12, which include special kids' tours, games and activities, hands-on art activities and science experiments, story times, and even concerts. And older kids will love checking out the museum's regular exhibits, which include one of the nation's oldest and most comprehensive collections of African art. Museum admission is $15 per adult and $8 per child (2 and under free). Planetarium admission is an additional $6 per adult and $4 per children under 12. Planetarium not recommended for kids under 4. The Newark Museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Mega Model Trains exhibit at The Morris Museum from December 17, 2016 – February 26, 2017. The Morris Museum – Morris The Morris Museum is perhaps best known for its large collection of 19th century musical dolls and machines. Viewing this ongoing exhibition, Musical Machines and Living Dolls, feels a bit like walking around inside a music box. It's magical and slightly creepy (there are some sinister-looking clowns and monkeys), and my kids and I can't get enough of it. It's but one of many kid-friendly exhibits at this beloved museum, which is small enough to see in its entirety in one visit, but always interesting and engaging. Other permanent exhibits include the Dinosaur Den, where kids can sit in a dinosaur's nest, touch a dinosaur egg, and listen to the simulated sound of a Hadrosaur; the Mammal Gallery, whose taxidermied residents include an enormous grizzly bear; and a collection of rocks and minerals that is endlessly fascinating to my preschooler. There are many special programs and events, including pop-up craft sessions, Tot Tours for kids 2–5, and art classes and workshops for older kids and teens. The museum is also home to the Bickford Theatre, which presents programming for both kids and adults. If you have a young train lover in your life, the museum's Mega Model Trains exhibit, which comes around every winter, is a must-see. Admission is $10 per adult and $7 per child, with additional costs for special programs. On the second and third Thursdays of each month, admission is pay as you wish from 4–8 p.m. Closed Mondays. "do it," the Montclair Art Museum's current interactive exhibition, invites visitors to participate in artist instructions. Photo by Gennadi Novash/Just Photo/courtesy of the museum Montclair Art Museum – Montclair The Montclair Art Museum, which recently celebrated its centennial, is a great place to introduce kids to visual arts. Its education department offers a variety of programs that help children learn about and enjoy the art in the museum's collections and exhibits. These programs include guided tours, themed art projects, story times, films, and other activities. The Family Learning Lab, in the third-floor lobby, is a place where kids and families can hang out and do interactive projects during museum hours. Other special events include Free First Thursday Nights, which take place on the first Thursday of the month from October to June, and include art activities, live music, and more. Admission is $12 for adults and free for kids under 12. Free on the first Friday of every month from noon–5 p.m. Top image: Create a masterpiece in a giant light wall at Liberty Science Center.

Finely ground
I like this kelp powder, because it's so finely ground. Most products that I have seen are too coarse for minerals to effectively assimilate into your body. Of course this kelp tastes terrible, as all kelp does, but you can try to blend it with something else to hide the taste. Maca powder works surprisingly well in this regard, and maca is healthy to eat in itself.

Just can't comment on the kelp itself though it LOOKS great. I mix it in with other products for my breakfast. Also my cat has it mixed with different health products - she eats meat and not tinned or dry stuff. So we both are looked after with healthy choices and it's great to have what promises to be a great quality product. Regards. Maxine Godley
Helps keep dog's teeth white

I use it to keep my dog's teeth clean. Barely any plaque at 7 years of age and people have asked me who cleans my dog's teeth. ;-)
Ample amount within budget.

Great to receive in a short time (about 2 weeks) this awesome packet of kelp in India where the loose powder is not available easily as compared to the kelp capsules. This is very convenient as I can portion out measured helpings for myself and my pet dog without having to worry about over or under consumption. Love the simple and effective packaging which allows me to store away excess for later use.
Great Product , will buy again

The Citizen Skyhawk Eco-Drive JR3155-54E is an incredibly popular watch with some fantastic features. The watch is currently selling like crazy, consumers can't get enough of this watch. So let's find out why!
First of all the look of the watch would have any wannabe commando drooling, in one glance you can tell that the watch is packed with features, but not so much that the dial is overcrowded. It's got a very cool special-ops vibe and harnesses the power of Citizen's "Eco-Drive" technology.
Eco-Drive technology is quite ingenious, it allows your watch to absorb sunlight during the day and charge itself with that energy! How cool is that? Even more impressive, artificial light can even be converted to energy by the crystal inside of this watch. This alone has convinced many a watch lover to strap one to their wrist.
Here are the main features of the watch:
- Time and calendar in 22 time zones (30 cities)
- Three world time alarms
- 1/100 second chronograph measures up to 24 hours of elapsed time
- 99 minute countdown timer
- One-touch interchangeable analog/digital times
- Rotating slide rule bezel
- Screw-back case
- Water resistant to 330 feet
- Scratch resistant
There is one downside to the watch unfortunately. The backscreen of the watch is black, which is all very cool, but it can be difficult to read in low light areas.
At first some people are surprised by the weight of the watch on their wrist. It's not that heavy, but is a little heavier than most watches like it. In my opinion though, it's nice to have a little weight on the wrist, maybe because my brain associates weight with quality.
Whatever the case, the Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk is a fantastic watch which as won over many admirers, it is highly recommended.
The Citizen Eco-Drive is available cheaper online than you'll be able to find in any retail store. I'd advise you to shop around for a cheap deal online as it could end up saving you a lot of money!

Kim Jong Un and his cronies in Pyongyang have terrible senses of humor. That makes them really easy to troll. Like remedial-photoshop-easy to troll.

There's not much else to say about it, except that it was made by someone from Suzhou, China who had studied at a South Korean university. The track is by a Chinese pop duo, the "Chopstick Brothers."
