San Antonio, TX -- According to federal and state recovery officials, a grant program is available to those affected by Tropical Storm Fay who live in the nine declared counties. The Individual and Family Grant Program covers the costs of disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other programs. This program provides a "safety net" for those affected who have exhausted all other means of assistance and still have disaster-related financial obligations which they cannot meet.
Grants may be used to cover such disaster-related expenses as essential home repair for an owner-occupied primary residence, and repair or replacement of personal property or transportation. Items not traditionally covered under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan programs, such as medical, dental and funeral expenses are also covered under the grant program.
The Individual and Family Grant Program (IFG) is administered by the state and funded at 75 percent by FEMA and 25 percent by the state.
Grant amounts are based on the unmet needs of the applicant. Grants are a last resort and, in most cases, are available only if an applicant has been denied a disaster loan from the SBA. If you have not registered for disaster assistance and live in the nine declared counties, call the FEMA toll-free registration number, 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or (TTY) 1-800-462-7585 for the hearing or speech impaired. Lines are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.

Government Affairs and Advocacy
March 2015: A major development in tribal child welfare policy was announced on February 25, 2015. The Bureau of Indian Affairs announced that it had revised--effective immediately—the Guidelines for State Courts and Agencies in Indian Child Custody Proceedings for the first time since 1979. Listen to an amazing webinar explaining the new guidelines.
Feburary 2015: URGENT ACTION ALERT
Currently, states are not required to report Indian Child Welfare Act data. Without this data there is no national information about how and when ICWA is followed in state child welfare systems. There is no way to track when ICWA is ignored, no way to identify patterns of non-compliance, no way to hold systems accountable.
On Friday, February 20, 2015, the Children's Bureau is seeking tribal input on data collection. This is your chance to tell them that ICWA matters and that ICWA kids need to be counted!
Click here to learn how to participate in the Children's Bureau call.
February 2015: Child and Family Policy Update
January 2015: FY 2016 NCAI Budget Testimony
December 2014: Child and Family Policy Update
November 2014: Addressing Trauma Testimony to Senate Committee on Indian Affars
NICWA government affairs and advocacy activities are designed to provide advocates with the opportunity, skills, and information needed to improve policies and increase funding for services for American Indian and Alaskan Native children and their families.
We inform advocates and policymakers, facilitate public discussion of the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native Children and bring together diverse people and institutions to develop the necessary policy solutions. Most recently we have been working to support changes in the federal child welfare funding system to give tribal governments more secure access to federal child welfare programs and make these programs respond better to the needs of tribal communities.
Legislative bills pending in Congress that have implications for Indian children.
Existing Law
Laws pertaining to Indian children, such as the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Administrative Regulations/Guidelines
Regulations or guidance from federal agencies regarding implementation of specific federal laws or programs.
Guiding Values
The values that guide our work include respect for tribal sovereignty and self-determination, promoting child-centered and family-focused solutions, advocating for social justice and equal access to resources, and honoring cultural and traditional practices. We do this work in partnership with American Indian and Alaskan Native communities, tribal leaders, tribal human service agencies, urban Indian programs, mainstream child advocacy groups, foundations and state and federal agencies.

I have put all my music libraries in my Windows 7 Media Player via: Organize/ Music Libraries/Music but it will not play all of the tracks and in some cases it will play say 50% of a C D and not the rest. Question; is there a way I can remove Media Player and reinstall it, as it looks a mess and it will not function correctly?

|More information:
The Cult of Statistical Significance shows, field by field, how "statistical significance," a technique that dominates many sciences, has been a huge mistake. The authors find that researchers in a broad spectrum of fields, from agronomy to zoology, employ testing that doesn't "test" and estimating that doesn't "estimate". The facts will startle the outside reader: how could a group of brilliant scientists wander so far from scientific magnitudes? This study will encourage scientists who want to know how to get the statistical sciences back on track and fulfill their quantitative promise. The book shows for the first time how wide the disaster is, and how bad for science, and it traces the problem to its historical, sociological, and philosophical roots.

As known, the crossing points of the selection matrixes of crossbar switches commonly consist of sets of mechanical contacts formed by fixed metal blades ganged along one coordinate and by movable metal blades ganged along another coordinate. These sets of contacts are controlled by means of flexible selection tappets allocated to each of the said contacts, by handling rectangular coordinate bars situated in parallel planes.
Crossbar matrixes are also known in which the points ofintersection are reed relays carried by a set of bars whereas the bars of a second set of bars at right angles carry permanent magnets. To actuate a point ofintersection, one bar of the first set and one bar of the second set are manipulated in such manner as to place a permanent magnet and a reed relay close to each other.
An object of the present invention is to improve the electrical qualities of the points of intersection of electrical paths, in particular to reduce contact resistance and disconnection capacity.
Another object of the invention is to produce points of intersection which do not rebound upon connection and disconnection.
Another object of the invention is to facilitate the production of a l number of points of intersection.
The improvements forming the objects of the present application relate to:
the structure of the conductors forming the matrix with X and Y coordinates;
the structure of the point of intersection ensuring the electrical contact between the coordinates X,Y,, of the matrix of the switching unit employing selection by coordinates;
the arrangement of the mechanical system for selection and maintenance of the points of intersection.
According to the invention, the matrix comprises an insulating block in which are cut two sets of rectangular passages filled with mercury and not intersecting each other, and cylindrical holes at right angles to the first two sets of passages and intersecting these, and pistons displaceable in the said cylindrical holes and comprising drops of mercury imprisoned within cavities cut into the pistons and closed by the holes forming slideways for the pistons, the said pistons having two positions in one of which the drops of mercury they contain are insulated or at least in contact solely with the mercury in the passage of a single set, and in the other of which these drops of mercury are in contact simultaneously with the mer cury in a passage of the first set and with the mercury in a passage of the second set.
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates the matrix of points of intersection employing mercury;
FIG. 2 illustrates a piston for controlling the points of inter section of the matrix;
FIGS. 3 and 4 correspondingly illustrate an open point ofintersection and a closed point ofintersection;
FIG. 5 illustrates a first mechanism for control of the crossbar matrix employing mercury;
FIG. 6 is an overall view of the matrix, of the pistons and of their crossed control bars;
FIG. 7 illustrates a second mechanism for control of the matrix in which the displacements of the bars and the displacement ofthe piston are translatory displacements;
FIGS. 8 to 12 illustrate a third mechanism for control of the matrix in which the displacements of the bars and the displacement of the piston are translatory displacements;
FIG. 13 illustrates a fourth mechanism for control of the matrix in which the displacements of the bars are, respectively, a translatory displacement and a rotary displacement, and the displacement of the piston is a translatory displacement;
FIGS. 14 to 19 illustrate a fifth mechanism for control of the matrix in which the displacements of the bars are translatory displacements and the displacement of the piston is a rotary displacement;
FIGS. 20 to 24 illustrate a sixth mechanism for control, of the type of that of FIGS. 14 to 19, in which the rotary displacement of the piston has a small angular amplitude;
FIGS. 25 illustrates a seventh mechanism employing rotation of the bars and rotation and translation of the piston;
FIG. 26 illustrates a matrix unit with mercury-filled passages comprising means of reducing the electrical resistance of the passages.
According to the invention, the selection matrix comprises:
a parallelepipedal block I having a rectangular base, made of plastic material in which are drilled or cast in unit, narrow passages 2 and 3 intended to receive mercury to form electrical conductors. These passages 2 and 3, numbering m and n respectively, are at right angles to each other and situated in planes parallel to the base of the block. They have a circular or rectangular section. They form a matrix of rectangular coordinates apt to produce (mXn) points of intersection. The switching unit for selection by coordinates comprises a number of plane matrixes identical to the preceding and paral' lel and equidistant from each other. They form part of the same parallelepipedal block of plastic material and are positioned one above another.
At each intersection of passages 2,, and 3., (p being a line number and q a column number) of a coordinate matrix, is drilled or cast in unit a cylindrical hole 9 intended to render it possible to establish an electrical contact between the mercury-filled passages 2,, and 3,, by application of a drop of mercury as will be set forth in the following.
The rectangular coordinate matrixes being identical and placed one above another, the holes 9,, at the intersections of the passages 2, and 3,, of all the plane matrixes form a single cylindrical hole 9 traversing the block of plastic material I. There are thus (mXn) holes 9 for the switching unit as a whole.
In each hole 9 is situated a piston 10 according to FIG. 2, sliding without play in a hole 9. It is produced by machining or moulding an insulating plastic material possessing a high surface tension against mercury to prevent seepage of the mercu' ry between the piston and the hole.
In its middle portion, this piston comprises a number of identical notches ll corresponding to the number of levels of passages 2 and 3. At its upper end, a shank l2 possessing slots 13 and I4 ensures the locking of the piston in the idle position and in the operating position as will be set forth hereinafter. A return spring is situated at the lower end returns the piston to the idle position upon disconnecting the point of intersection.
The principle for establishing the contact between a mercury passage 2,, having the coordinate X,, and a mercury passage 3 having the coordinate Y consists of displacing a drop of mercury imprisoned in the notch 11 of the piston 10, in the hole 9.
As shown by FIG. 3, in the idle position of the piston, the drop of mercury 16 is in contact only with the mercury passage 2,. having the coordinate X,,, the cylindrical part of the piston 10 insulates the same from the mercury passage 3,, having the coordinate Y the electrical circuit formed by the passages 2,, and 3., is open. Moreover, the dimensions of the notch of the piston and the distance which separates the passages 3, from each other have the result that, in the idle position of the piston, the passage 2,, remains electrically insulated from the passage 2 In the operating position of the piston, the drop of mercury I6 is displaced towards the right as shown by FIG. 4 by means of the notch 11 of the piston in which it is imprisioned. The drop of mercury then places in communication the mercury passages 2,, and 3,, having the coordinates X, and Y,, and merges with the mercury of these passages. Owing to this merging, the contact resistance disappears, becoming virtual. The only remaining resistance is the very low resistance of the passages with combined mercury lines, caused by the resistivity of the mercury. Thanks to this merging moreover, there is no mechanical impact between solid metal parts, resulting in a total absence of rebounds, an absence of interference oscilla' tions and an absence of spitting and sparking" upon establishing electrical continuity, and a correlative increase in the disconnection capacity.
To ensure the simultaneous connection, the c points of intersection X -Y corresponding to the superposed matrix levels placed on above another. the piston comprising c notches imprisoning c drops of mercury. The displacement of the piston into the operating position ensures the simultaneous connection ofthe 6 points of intersection as has been set forth in the foregoing.
The piston being in the operating position, when the system for locking the connection bars, whose function will be described further on, is released, the return spring 15 pushes the piston 10 and restores it to the idle position. This has the result of breaking the continuity of the merged mercury passages 2,, and 3,,, having the coordinates X,, and Y, by imprisoning the mercury drops in the notches l] which are displaced towards the mercury passages 2,, When the piston has returned to its idle position under the action of the return spring, the point of connection X,,-Y,, as a whole is again in the condition shown in FIG. 3a.
The system for selection and locking is to operate a piston l0, having coordinates X,,-Y,, predetermined by the chronologically conjugated action ofa hold bar X, and ofa selection bar Y,,. The piston 10 remains in the operating position by locking the shank on the hold bar. lt remains in 30 this operating position until the release of the shank is caused by lateral freeing of the gold bar, which has the result of allowing the return spring to push the piston into the idle position.
The selection and locking system according to the invention comprises:
a. a set of M double hold bars 17 which are parallel and equidistant from each other and parallel to the plane of the block containing the mercury conductors. Each ofthem has as its coordinate X, l p m) corresponding to the coordinates X, of the aligned mercury passages. These hold bars 17 are displaced laterally from left to right under the action of electromagnets 18 positioned in the extension of the bars and from right to left under the action ofa return spring 32.
Each of the double hold bars [7 corresponds to FIG. 5. Cut from steel blades, it has:
in the upper part. a blade 19 of steel of appropriate elasticity comprising n strips 20 corresponding to the n selection bars. These strips 20 are displaceable from the top downwards under the thrust of the selection bars as will be set forth in the following. In the free extremity of the strips, an opening 2] in the blade 17 provides a passage for the tappets or lifters of the selection bars in the (m] hold bars remaining at rest.
in the lower part, a blade 22 of steel of appropriate elasticity comprises n rectangular openings 23 situated under the n strips 20. These openings 23 are intended to lock, in the idle position and in the operating position. the pistons 10 corresponding to a hold bar 17 by means of the shanks 12 of the pistons.
in the middle part, a bar of plastic material 24 comprising n openings 25 aligned with the n strips 20 firmly connects the blades and imparts rigidity to the aggregate of the hold bar. Metal rivets 33 ensure this connection.
b. an assembly of n selection bars 26 which are parallel to each other and equidistant, parallel to the plane of the block containing the mercury passages and at right angles to the assembly of the m hold bars 17. Each of these bars has as its coordinate Y (1 L n) corresponding to the coordinates Y,, of the mercury passages in alignment. These selection bars are placed above the m connection-cutoff bars and can be displaced downwards each under the action of two electromagnets 27 and 28 situated at their extremities and can be dis placed upwards under the action of return springs 29 and 30 when the supply to the electromagnets is interrupted.
These n selection bars each have m tappets 3i. Under the action of the two electromagnets situated at the extremities of the selection bars, these m tappets engage freely in the openings 21 of the hold bars 17 and these are at rest. By contrast. if one of the hold bars is operative, that is to say displaced towards the right under the action of the corresponding electromagnet, the strip 20 corresponding to the tappet positioned at the intersection of the bars 17 and 26 having the coordinates X, and Y is positioned under the same. In this case, a downward displacement of the tappet in question has the result of transmitting this motion to the corresponding piston owing to the presence of the strip between the tappet and the piston.
The selection and locking system according to the invention operates in the following manner:
It is intended to establish an electrical connection of the p passage having the coordinate X, of the assembly m of these passages, with the q'" passage having the coordinate Y of the assembly n of these passages.
A first current pulse is fed into the electromagnet 18,, of the bar 17,, with the result of displacing this bar towards the right. All the n strips 20 of the bar 17,, are positioned under the tappets 31 of the n selection bars 26. Moreover, the n pistons 10 are positioned under the bar 17,, being unlocked and remaining in the idle position owing to the displacement of the openings 23 of the blade 22 of the bar l7,,.
During the presence of the first pulse, but with a small time shift to allow the bar 17,, to assume its working position, a second pulse is fed into the electromagnets 27 and 28 of the selection bar 26 This results in a downward displacement of the bar 26 and of its in tappets 31. Only one of these in tappets 31 encounters a strip 20 under it, being that which is positioned at the intersection of the bars 17,, and 26,. in its downward displacement, this tappet 31 causes the insertion of the corresponding piston 10 owing to the presence of the strip.
The first pulse is chronologically calibrated to terminate when the aforesaid piston has reached its operating position, that is to say at the bottom dead center of its stroke. The cancellation of this pulse allows the return spring 32 to return the bar 17,, to its idle position by locking the (strip) blade 22 in the slot 24 of the shank 12 of the piston 10. The second pulse then terminates and the selection bar 26, rises to its idle position under the action ofits springs 29 and 30.
Only the piston 10,, remains locked on the blade 22 of the bar 17,, and establishes an electrical continuity between the conductive mercury passages 2,, and 3,; by means of the mercury drops imprisoned in the c notches ll of the piston 10 in the manner described in the foregoing.
To interrupt the electrical connections thus made, it is sufficient to a current pulse calibrated in intensity and duration, to the electromagnet of the hold bar 17,, This pulse displaces the bar 17,, towards the right, thus unlocks the blade 22 from the slot 14 and the piston l0,,,,, under the action of its spring 15, rises to its idle position. The notches ll interrupt the electrical continuity of the conductive mercury passages by upwardly entraining the drops of mercury.
Referring to FIG. 2b this time, the block 1 of passages sectioned along a plane parallel to the line passages 2, is visible in section. As in FIG. I. the reference numeral 9 denotes the holes in which the pistons slide. Each passage 2 or 2 filled with mercury is closed by two hermetic plugs 51 and along the passage is arranged a metal wire 52 immersed in the mercury and through a sealed bushing traversing the plugs 51. The wire 52 is formed in the form of a loop to reduce the resistance of the passage seen from the outside of the matrix.
With reference to FIG. 7, which relates to a system employing two translatory displacements of the bars and translatory displacement of the piston, a bar 26 having the coordinate Y has been illustrated, which is precisely of the type shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and comprises tappets 31. The bar 61 having the coordinate X, has a different form from that in FIGS. 5 and 6, but is controlled in the same manner by means of an eleetromagnet l8 and restored to idle condition by means of a spring 32.
The bar 61 has the shape of a blade and comprises a seat 62 for a peg, an opening in the form of a crenellation 63 and a ramp 64 starting from the edge of the crenellation 63. The piston 10 has a cylindrical shape and is profiled with a flat 65 at its upper extremity; this flat 65 has a peg 66 secured to it. The remainder of the piston 10 is analogous to that shown in FIG. 2; in particular it is returned to the high disconnection position by a spring 15 operating under compression.
The operation is the following:
Under the action of the electromagnet l8, the bar 61 is drawn towards the left through a distance such that the peg 66 of the piston I is placed in alignment with the crenellation 63. Under the action of the electromagnet 28, the tappet 3| exerts thrust on the top of the piston I0 causing the same to descent through a stroke such that the peg 66 is placed below the edge 67 of the ramp 64. This stroke is insufficient to bring the point of intersection into operation.
When the electromagnet l8 releases, the bar 61 returns to its idle position, impelled by the return spring 32. The ramp 64 causes the piston to descent through the additional stroke needed to bring the point of intersection into action.
For disconnection, the bar 61 returns towards the left under the action of the electromagnet 18, allowing the peg 66 to escape from the ramp 64 and the piston 10 rises under the action of the compression spring IS.
The seats 62 serve the purpose of receiving the pegs of the pistons cooperating with the same bar having the coordinate Y 26 and whereof the bars 61 having the coordinate X have not been selected.
Referring to FIGS. 8 to 12 which relate to another system employing two translator-y displacements of the bars and a translatory displacements of the bars and a translatory displacement of the piston, a bar 26 having the coordinate Y has been illustrated which is precisely of the type shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and comprises tappets 3]. This bar is controlled by means of two electromagnets situated at its extremities and of which only one, 28, is illustrated in FIG. 8.
The bar 75 having the coordinate X slides in a groove 76 wrought in the matrix unit I and is actuated by an electromagnet 18 in one direction and by a return spring 32 in the other direction. In FIG. 8 there recur the passages 9 intended to receive the pistons I0 but a part of the matrix unit has been left out to avoid having to illustrate the mercury passages and the notches of the piston. The piston 10 is housed in a passage 9; it is displaced upwards by the compression spring and a flange 77 coming into abutment against the underside of the matrix unit limits its upward vertical stroke.
On the upper face of the piston I0 is situated a control knob 78 formed by a circular base 79 and by a cylindrical stud 80 at right angles to the base at its center this stud extending upwards. The bars 75 are perforated by openings BI having the shape of a circle 82 extended by a slot 83 of lesser width than the diameter ofthe circle. The base 79 can be inserted into the circle 82 and the stud 80 can be inserted and slide in the slot 83.
A cover 84, not illustrated in FIG. 8 but illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 12, holds the bars 75 and the control knobs 78 in position.
FIG. 8 illustrates one piston only, but it is understood that an opening 8i is present before each piston.
The operation is described with reference to FIGS. 9 to I2.
At rest (FIG. 9), the piston 10 is in the top position, its flange 77 bearing on the matrix unit I owing to the action of compression of the spring IS. The bar 26 is in the top position and the bar 75 drawn by the spring 32 in the direction of the arrow 85, is in the right-hand position. The knob 78 is in its seat and the stud 80 is not in alignment with the tappet 31.
For connection, the bar 75 is drawn by the electromagnet 18 to the left-hand position in the direction of the arrow 86 (FIG. 10); the control know 78 is entrained and the stud 80 is positioned under the tappet 31. The bar 26 is lowered by the electromagnet 28 and the piston I0 is lowered by means of the tappet 30 and of the control know 78 (FIG. ll). The vertical stroke is such that the base 79 of the knob 78 emerges completely from the circular opening 82. The bar 75 returns to the right-hand position, the base of the knob remaining comprised between the crown of the piston and the underside of the bar 75. The stud penetrates into the slot 83 of the opening 81. The piston is thus held in the operative position even when the bar 26 rises (FIG. 12).
For disconnection, the bar 75 is displaced towards the left again. and the knob 78 rises under the action of the spring 15, its base 79 penetrating into the circular part 82 of the opening 8 I. The bar 75 then returns to the right-hand position, and the control knob returns to the idle position of FIG. 9.
With reference to FIG. 13, which relates to a system employing a translatory and rotary displacement of the bars and a translatory displacement of the piston, a bar 26 having the coordinate Y has been illustrated, which is precisely of the type shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and comprises tappets 31. This bar is controlled by means of two electromagnets situated at its extremities and of which one only, 28, is illustrated in FIG. 13.
The bar 67 having the coordinate X is no longer animated by a translatory displacement but by a rotary or swiveling displacement under the action of the electromagnet 68 acting on the tongue 69. The bar 67 is returned to the idle position by the spring 70 fastened to the lever 71 and causing the bar to turn against the direction of the electromagnet 68.
The piston 10 comprises a notch 72 in which may operate a lever 73 firmly joined to the bar 67.
The operation is the following:
Under the action of the electromagnet 68, the bar 67 swivels through an angle such that the lever 73 emerges completely from the notch 72 of the piston 10. Under the action of the electromagnet 28, the bar 26 is thrust downwards and the tappet 31 thrusts the piston 10 downwards, its stroke being insufficient however to connect the point of intersection.
when the electromagnet 68 releases again, the bar 67 returns to the idle position under the action of the spring 70 and the lever 73 bears on the upper face 74 of the piston and, during the additional stroke thus obtained, the point of intersection is brought into operation.
For disconnection, the bar 67 again turns under the action of the electromagnet 68, which releases the lever 73. The piston rises again under the action of the spring 15. When the electromagnet 68 releases, the lever 73 drops again into the notch 72 without touching the piston It].
The pistons 10, whose bars 67 have not been selected, are subjected by the bar 26 to a displacement which is insufficient for connection of the corresponding points of intersection.
With reference to FIGS. I4 to 19, which relate to a system employing two translatory displacements of the bars and a rotary displacement of the piston, the piston I0 can turn in its passage 9 but cannot undergo a translatory displacement. It is recalled towards an idle azimuth by the springs 87 and 88 and on the other hand it carries a control knob 89 on its upper face.
The bars 90 and 91 are actuated, respectively, by means of the electromagnets 92 and 93 and are returned to the idle position by springs 94 and 95. The bar 90 comprises a cam 96 and a notch 97 and the bar 91 comprises a cam 98 and a notch 99, the cam forming one of the edges of the notch. In the idle position the extremity of the knob 89 rests on the edge 100 of the cam internal to the notch.
The connection is made by two consecutive displacements of the piston, each of a quarter-turn.
The electromagnet 92 draws the bar 90 in then manner that the cam 96 is drawn back from the piston (FIG. 15). The electromagnet 93 then draws the bar 91. and the cam 98 causes the piston 10 to turn through a first quarterturn by means of the knob 89 (FIG. l6). The electromagnet 92 releases and the bar 90 returns to the idle position under the action of the spring 94. The cam 96 causes the piston 10 to turn through a second quarter-turn. The contacts are made, the piston having been turned through half a turn. The electromagnet 93 then releases and the bar 91 returns to the idle position, drawn by the spring 95. The pistons it had entrained through a quarterturn return to the idle position except for that which has described a second quarter-turn (FIGv 17).
For disconnection, the bar 90 comes into operation and the cam 96 frees the knob 89 and the piston turns to the idle position under the action of the springs 87 and 88.
The notches 97 serve the purpose of providing a passage for the knobs 89 of the pistons entrained through a quarterturn by the bar 91 and whose coordinated bar 90 has not been selected.
it is apparent from FIG. 18 that the drop ll is not in contact with any passage whereas in FIG. 19, after turning through 180, it is in contact with the passages 2 and 3.
FIGS. 20 to 24 show another system employing two translatory displacements of the bars and a rotary displacement of the piston. in these figures, the same reference numerals denote the same elements as those of FIGS. 14 to 19: bars 90 and 91, electromagnets 92 and 93, springs 94, 95, 87 and 88, piston 10. The knob 89 is replaced by a peg 101.
in this system, the rotation of the piston amounts to 75 instead of 180; the stroke of the bars and the period taken for connection and disconnection, are thus reduced.
FIGv 21 illustrates the idle position of the piston seen from above, and FIG. 22 the position of the drop of mercury 11 with respect to the mercury passages 2 and 3 in the idle position. FIG. 23 illustrates the operating position of the piston seen from above and FIG. 24 the position of the drop of mercury 11 relative to the mercury passages 2 and 3 in the operating position. It is apparent that, in FIG. 22, the drop 1] is not in contact except with the passage 3, whereas after being turned through 75, it is in contact with the passages 2 and 3, in FIG. 24.
In the idle position, the springs 87 and 88 tend to cause the piston to turn in the direction ofthe arrow 102 but the peg l0l being engaged simultaneously in the corner of the notch 97 of the bar 90 and in contact with the edge of the bar 91, is prevented from turning by these two obstacles.
For connection, the bars 90 and 91 are attracted by their corresponding electromagnets 92 and 93. The stud 101 is no longer held at all by the side of the notch 97, nor by the bar 91 which then confronts it with its notch 99; it follows the con tour of the cam 103 and the piston turns until the stud is stopped by the side of the notch 99. The electromagnets then release; the bar 90 returns to the idle position but the bar 91 is held by the stud I01 bearing on the side of the bar 90 (FIG. 23).
The other pistons coordinated with the bar 90 and whereof the coordinated bar 91 has not been displaced, have not been turned since they were held back by the edge of the bar 91.
For connection, the bar 90 is displaced again towards the left which releases the stud 101. The bar 91 no longer being abutted by the stud 101, itselfabutted by the bar 90, returns to the idle position under the action of the spring 95 whilst entraining the stud 101 against the springs 87 and 88; the clements are returned to the position ofFlG. 21,
P10. relates to a system employing a rotary displacement of the bars and a translatory and rotary displacement of the piston.
The bars 103 and 104 are bars swiveling around their axes and each equipped with a plurality of levers or lifters 105 and 106 respectively. The means of causing the bars to turn have not been illustrated; as in FIG. 13 for example, they are formed by an electromagnet like 68 and by a tongue in unit with the bar, like 69.
The piston 10 can turn in its passage 9. It is returned to the idle position by the spring 107 fastened to the frame and to the radial lever 108. The tappet or lifter 10$ cooperates with the radial lever 108 to cause the piston to turn. At the other side from the lifter 108, the piston has a notch 109 of 'U-shape formed by a longitudinal slideway 110 and by two tangential slideways 111 and 112. A cam 113 is situated between the two slideways 111 and 112.
The idle position of the piston is the top position, and the bottom position is the operating position,
For connection, the bar 104 is swiveled and the lifter 10 arrives above the level of the cam 113. The bar 103 swivels and the lifter acting on the lever 108 causes the piston to turn. During the rotation of the piston, the extremity of 106 passes into the slideway 111. The bar 104 returning to the idle posi tion, the lifter 106 bears on the cam 113 causing the piston to be lowered. The underside of the lifter 106 comprises a crenellation engaging with the corresponding crenellation of the cam 113. As a result, when the bar 103 returns to the idle position, all the pistons in the idle position undergo a rotation under the action of their spring 107 whereas the piston in operation is locked in rotation by means of the lever 116 in engagement with the cam 113.
For disconnection, the bar 104 is turned and the piston is lifted by the face 114 of the notch. The engagement between 106 and 113 is interrupted and the piston turns backwards under the action of the spring 107.
We claim:

Yeah, sorry, another water report question.
I just got mine and for some reason everything seems really low to me. Especially when i compare it to target water reports.
Sodium, Na 7
Potassium, K 2
Calcium, Ca 8
Magnesium, Mg 2
Total Hardness, CaCO3 28
Nitrate, NO3-N 1.7
Sulfate, SO4-S 2
Chloride, Cl 5
Carbonate, CO3 < 1
Bicarbonate, HCO3 24
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 20
pH 7.7
does that seem odd to anyone else?
Did you send in some ro water for analysis? looks pretty mineral free. Should be good for brewing light colored beers.
And a nearly clean slate for building up to match any other style.
I fail to see the problem here. Low minerals, near neutral pH......
I'd have to buy and haul water that clean.
When you say it seems low compared to target water reports, do you mean target levels for specific beers, or target levels for your local water? If you mean target levels for your local water it could be that where you live they are running the water through a filter to clean it up some.
Your water is very similiar to Seattle water. It is good for very light beers, but will need some additions for most others for the best result. You specifically need to at least get that calcium up.
There is plenty of info out there and on this forum to get your feet wet on basic mineral additions.
Yeah, it's clear i dont have as firm an understanding as i'd like. I punched the numbers into brewers friend and am starting to get a sense of how each addition changes the water profile.
Up to this point i've been using spring water from walmart since i wasn't sure what the water here was like. Now that i have an understanding i think i'll probably start using water right from the tap here.
I think the thing that surprised me most was that entering common profiles BOT and Dublin, etc, all yielded mineral concentrations in much greater numbers than i have here. I know there will be differences, but it was the difference in the two numbers that had me worried.
thanks for the help. Now i just need to figure out how to balance my additions so that i end up with all the numbers in the correct target area (i currently can't seem to get my bicarbonate level to stay low enough while hitting all the other target numbers for BOT water profile.)
thanks for the link.
I do have a question for you all (or a couple of them maybe).
First, if i can't get all the numbers to match up using the brewers friend, is there one way or the other to err? Say, for example, i'm working on a water profile to brew a bitter. Brewers friend tells me when i'm within 20 ppm of each ion, but if i can't get enough CA without going over recommended level of HCO3. Obviously, you can add more CA via chalk or gypsum, but each would add more of an ion i don't need.
I know this isn't an area where i have to be exact, but i just want to know if i should avoid too much of one in exchange for the proper amount of another etc?
Since the type of beer dictates what to add to the water, is it best to play with the numbers until i get a combination that indicates it'd be good for the style of beer i'm brewing? Basically, just adjust the numbers until i get a profile that is good for the style i'm brewing?
The comment is in reference to the results that Brewing Water Chemistry Calculator | Brewer's Friend tells me.

Fireworks Impact Air Quality
Each year we celebrate our national birthday with colorful bursts of black powder—fireworks which ignite around American neighborhoods on the Fourth of July.
These pyrotechnical displays provide brilliant light shows each Independence Day, but they also cause spikes in air pollution levels that may be hazardous to the health of individuals. The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) has noticed elevated levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution at many of its monitoring stations during previous Independence Days. In some cases, levels at the monitoring sites reached Moderate Air Quality for more than a full day after the Fourth.
