Singer Ricky Martin joined in the criticism of Arizona's new law that will allow police to stop anyone they think might be an illegal immigrant.
Appearing at the Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony Thursday, Martin said the law "makes no sense," and he urged an end to discrimination, hate and racism.
"Long live love, long live peace," he told the audience at the award show in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Martin received a standing ovation when he walked on stage, making one of his first public appearances since announcing he is gay.
"This is not in the script," he said as he launched into his criticism.
"You are not alone. We are with you," Martin said. "Put a stop to discrimination. Put a stop to hate. Put a stop to racism."
Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio also criticized the law, as did Larry Hernandez, who won Latin Artist of the Year and said he began his career in Phoenix.
"It's regrettable that they are discriminating against us for the simple fact of looking Latino. It's not fair. We have to say no to that law," Hernandez said.

The post KING WOMAN To Release 4-Song EP 'Doubt' on February 17th, 2015 appeared first on The 1st Five.]]>
Doubt will be released on February 17th, 2015 via The Flenser on vinyl and digital formats.
Here's the official press release:
Bay Area, CA's King Woman, fronted by vocalist Kristina Esfandiari (Ex-Whirr, Miserable), will be releasing their first proper EP release on February 17th, 2015. Titled Doubt, this EP marks King Woman's first release with a full band and is a dark, brooding gem of introspective heaviness. Doubt finds King Woman awash with churning and crumbling distortion providing a roiling, blackened backdrop for Esfandiari's throaty, bewitching vocals like a twisted fusion of PJ harvey, Sunn 0))) and Black Sabbath.
Doubt is a follow-up to prior releases Dove/Fond Affections (The Native Sound) and Degrida / Sick Bed (Sleep Genius). Both two-song EP's were released to great critical acclaim. IMPOSE said Dove had "…both a classical approach to composition and a modern narrative of expressing sadness through slow-sinking quicksand." King Woman went on to play shows along the West Coast with bands like Ceremony, Planning For Burial and Chasms before catching the attention of fellow San Franciscan Flenser Records, with whom they'll team up for release of this 4-song EP.
Kristina Esfandiari originally formed King Woman back in 2009, but the band had taken a backseat to her other projects at the time like Miserable and Whirr (with whom she played with from 2012 to 2013), where she found her confidence from a vigorous touring schedule of playing stage shows, floor shows, and everything in between. King Woman got together very organically; Kristina said it just "…kind of happened. I grew up with my drummer, Joey, and guitarist, Colin. I asked Colin to play guitar for one of my shows and the rest is history." Kristina continued, "We wrote a lot of this EP by Colin sending me guitar ideas and I'd just sing over them, not realizing how good it was. Soon we started getting Joey to jam with us, and then Sky wanted to play bass. Now here we are." Colin Gallagher, who had given up on music entirely until he played guitar for Esfandiari's other project, Miserable, commented, "I was going through a lot of self-reflection. For me, the songs are about struggling to change things." Esfandiari continued, "I started this project as a form of therapy for myself. I wanted to work through being raised in an oppressive religious environment. The theme is just the turbulent journey of de-converting from Christianity and finally coming out of the closet about it and being rejected by a lot of family members and friends because of it."
Doubt touches on some heavy topics and allows Esfandiari's lyrical ingenuity to really shine; with nods to issues like religious abuse, sex, metaphysics and heartbreak as well as physical abuse and "…tough topics that weigh heavily on my heart", she says. "I just write what feels right." Recorded with engineer Patrick Hills (Tera Melos, 7 Seconds, So Stressed) at Earth Tone in Sacramento, CA earlier this year, Doubt was mixed and produced by Esfandiari herself – which she described as "quite a challenge" – and the four resulting tracks are more cathartic, more brooding and more hypnotic than ever before. The band wears their musical influence on their sleeve: "We love bands like Black Sabbath, OM, Neurosis and Jesu", said Kristina, and with her lush and dramatic vocals not unlike Mazzy Star and even Beth Gibbons, King Woman has created a sound all their own.
Doubt Track Listing:
1. Wrong
2. King Of Swords
3. Burn
4. Candescent Soul

The post Sense Field's 'Tonight And Forever' To Be Released on Vinyl For The Very First Time appeared first on The 1st Five.]]>
Seattle based independent label Spartan Records has announced plans to release influential post-hardcore/emo band Sense Field's landmark album, Tonight and Forever, on vinyl for the first time ever on December 16th. The limited edition vinyl will be available exclusively at Spartan Records' website on hot pink (200), hot pink/sea blue swirl (100), milky clear with hot pink, purple, orange and electric blue splatter (100) and hot pink in dark purple in milky clear (100). Pre-orders are available now at http://spr.tn/tonightandforever.
Formed in 1991, Sense Field was one of the original bands to breakout in the mid-90's "emo" scene along with acts like Jimmy Eat World, Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is The Reason. During that time the band released classic full-length records Sense Field, Killed For Less and Building which help establish them as one of the scene's most highly regarded bands.
Later in 2001, the band returned with their breakout record Tonight and Forever, which garnered the band massive success with their single "Save Yourself." The song was also featured on the official soundtrack for the hit TV show "Roswell," which catapulted the band to mainstream audiences and performances on late night TV shows like "The Tonight Show" and "The Late Late Show."
Following Tonight and Forever the band went on to release their last full-length record Living Outside in 2003, before disbanding. In 2012 and 2014 they reunited briefly for Revelation Records' 25 Year Anniversary Shows.

The post Pillow Talk Join Animal Style Records to Release New EP in 2015 appeared first on The 1st Five.]]>
Animal Style Records is excited to announce Memphis, TN's Pillow Talk have joined the label's roster. The band recently wrapped up recording on a new EP for their Animal Style debut, coming early Spring 2015 – details, pre-orders and song premieres coming soon!
Pillow Talk hail from Memphis TN and formed in the Spring of 2013. The band immediately began touring the East Coast and soon recorded their first EP, Recreational Feelings. After several regional tours with Turnover and Foxing, wrecking their van in a tornado, and a stint at SXSW, the band came home wanting to find a new sound. They found themselves spending the summer of 2014 writing spacier and melody driven material for their upcoming EP, due out early 2015 on Animal Style Records.
The band will be heading out on a short winter tour with Keep from VA in late December into early January.
You can check out a demo of a new song, "Make You Real" right now over at Half Cloth.

The post XTRMST Premiere Video for "Conformist" appeared first on The 1st Five.]]>
Official press release:
AFI lead vocalist Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget have released the first music video for their straight edge hardcore band XTRMST. Making its debut on Noisey, the video is for their first single "Conformist" – watch it here. The track is off the duo's self-titled debut album, which Noisey boasts as "…dark, frantic, and moody, tinged with electronics and very slick." The LP is set for release next week on Monday November 17 via Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records.
"Jade and I have been talking about starting a straight edge hardcore band for years," says Havok. "We started writing and recording in early 2012 and chose the name XTRMST because it expresses the messages represented on the record. The straight edge movement is not one of moderation. It's based in undeniable objective truths."
"The straight edge philosophy is something that Davey and I gravitated towards at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society," says Puget. "Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. Being sXe for over 20 years and being musicians, it seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression."

The post BURNING LOVE To Release Two-Song 7″ EP on Deathwish Inc. appeared first on The 1st Five.]]>
Burning Love are an unapologetic punk band from Toronto, fronted by vocalist/lyricist Chris Colohan (Cursed, Left For Dead, Ruination, etc). Burning Love's approach is more nuanced than his previous bands. Mixing raw melody and swagger (akin to Laughing Hyenas, Poison Idea, etc) into their hardcore blood. Since 2007, Burning Love have released a number of records on labels like Deranged, High Anxiety, and Southern Lord.
"Down So Long" b/w "Medicine Man" is a two song banger of an EP, recorded by Josh Korody at Candle in Toronto (Fucked Up, etc). Opener "Down So Long" emerges from ghostly feedback with an unrelenting punk romp. Lyrically addressing the social chaos of our world askew, despite the illusion of military and political order. While the infectious "Medicine Man" addresses fashionable drug addiction in the punk world, despite the trail of havoc that it cuts through the most wounded of world populations.
Release date and pre-ordering information will be announced shortly.
In the meantime, watch this video of the band performing at The Acheron in Brooklyn in 2012.

Starlin Castro named to NL team
In 1988, when pitcher Greg Maddux became the Chicago Cubs' youngest All-Star selection at age 22, Starlin Castro wasn't even born yet. But the honor now belongs to Castro, 21.
Castro, the lone Cubs player selected to this year's summer classic, was surprised and very proud when Cubs manager Mike Quade told him he'd made the squad before batting practice on Sunday.
"This is real special," Castro said. "All of my teammates told me 'congratulations' They all are excited (for me)."
Castro, who started his career on May 7, 2010 by hitting a home run and a triple as well as recording a debut-record six RBIs, said one of his early goals was to be an All-Star.
"When I began, I tried to be in (the All-Star Game). I've worked hard to be in there. And now it happened," Castro said.
Castro, who was picked for the team by NL manager Bruce Bochy, said he'll take his father and two brothers to the All-Star Game with him.
Castro will be joined on the NL bench by Quade, who was named as a coach by Bochy.
"I thought (Castro) got better last year," Quade said. "Defensively, he was making progress, but he stumbled a little bit early on (this season). I didn't think he was playing as well as he should. Now, he's put together five or six weeks of solid defense and his hitting speaks for itself."
Castro hit .300 as a rookie in 2010 and has been among the NL leaders in base hits in 2011. Going into play on Sunday, Castro was second in the league with 108 hits and was ninth in batting average at .308. The Cubs shortstop's 39 multihit games are also second in the league.
The youngest Cub to play in an All-Star Game was third baseman Ron Santo, who was 23 when he played in his first of nine All-Star Games back in 1963. Although Maddux was on the 1988 team, he didn't get into the game.
The All-Star Game will be played on July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix.

Don't suggest to Patriots coach Bill Belichick that the first two games New England and New York played earlier this season will have much of an effect on the third game, set for Sunday at Gillette Stadium. Instead, like all great trilogies, the third chapter might surprise some people.
"I don't think what happened last week or in some game in December or some game in September or some game in October, I don't think that's going to have too much bearing on it," Belichick said on a Sunday afternoon conference call. "I think what happens between now and kickoff and how the teams perform once the game starts, I think that's what will decide the winner.
"I don't think the last game or even the first game, either one of those games is going to mean a whole lot. Both teams know each other well."
Soon after the Jets beat the Colts on a last-second 32-yard field goal from Nick Folk to advance to next Sunday's divisional playoff game against the Patriots — a contest Belichick called a "terrific game" — Belichick and the Patriots were "full speed ahead" in their preparation for New York.
"I think everyone knows what the importance of the game is," Belichick said. "I don't think it changes a whole lot. We all know this is a one-game season. They know it. We know it. Both teams prepare for it that way. Both teams will give it their best, and we'll see what happens.
"Now, it'll be the best two out of three," Belichick added. "Probably the way it should be."
The first two games between New England and New York this season couldn't have been more different in nature. The first one went to the Jets, and in that contest, New York used 18 second-half points on the way to a 28-14 win over the Patriots at the New Meadowlands. It was a game marked by the strangest of sights — a pair of interceptions from quarterback Tom Brady, who would have only four on the season.
"We just sucked," Brady said after that game.
In the second, a revamped New England offense dominated New York, tying a season-high for points in a game with a 45-3 blowout of the Jets. The complete array of the Patriots' options was on display: Brady connected with four different receivers on touchdown passes and the quarterback finished with a near-perfect 148.9 quarterback rating. The loss sent New York into a mini-spiral, as it lost three of their last five regular-season games to fall out of first place in the AFC East.
"Obviously, they didn't have a good night that night," Belichick said.
On Sunday, Belichick had nothing but good things to say about the Jets.
"They do a good job running the ball. They've got big play receivers and tight ends," Belichick said. "They do what they do on defense — a lot of man coverage and they're pretty physical on the front line. [They're] very good in the kicking game. Good return game — that was a big play for them last night on the kickoff return after the Indianapolis field goal.
"They're a solid team. Their record reflects that. I don't think they're a whole lot different than really what they've been all year. They do a lot of things well."
Now, the Patriots will face the same team for the third time in a season (twice in the regular season and once in the postseason) for the first time since 2006, when they met the Jets three times that year, and beat New York twice, including a wild card matchup.
In addition, this year marks just the fifth time in franchise history the Patriots will face the same team three times in a season. In addition to 2006, there were similar situations in 1985, when New England had two regular-season games and a playoff game vs. the Jets and the Dolphins, as well as 1997, when the Patriots had two regular-season games and one playoff game against Miami. Each time, New England won at least two of the three games.
Belichick did acknowledge that it's unique facing the same team three times a year, but in the end, game-planning isn't all that different.
"Of course, nobody knows for sure what that's going to be, so you have to prepare for a lot of different things," Belichick said. "In the end, you still have to put your chips on something. You have to anticipate what you think is most likely to occur. You have to allocate some practice time and game-planning to whatever you happen to think that is."

Political science chair interprets GOP message to women
Raycom News Network reported about the powerful lineup of women speakers at the Republican National Convention. The story quoted Rebecca Deen, associate professor and chair of the UT Arlington Political Science Department. She said the large strategy is aimed at creating broad-based appeal among women voters in hopes of drawing them to the polls in November. "What they're trying to do with this constellation of speakers is, it's the buffet approach," Deen said. "There's something there for everyone. It also sends the message the Republican Party is a big tent, it's inclusive of women of all different stripes." The report ran on the websites of Fox 5 in Las Vegas, WLOX 13 in Biloxi, Miss., Fox 12 in Beaverton, Ore., and a host of others.

Honda to recall 250,000 vehicles globally over brakes
The stability assist system in the Honda vehicles being recalled may malfunction
Japanese car giant Honda is recalling nearly 250,000 vehicles worldwide over a braking problem.
No crashes have been reported related to the defect, which means that the brakes can suddenly activate even when the driver is not braking.
The stability assist system in the vehicles being recalled may malfunction and the brake could operate even when the driver is not pressing the pedal, said spokeswoman Tomoko Takemori.
The vehicle could also brake more strongly than intended when the system malfunctions, she added.
Honda said it was recalling more than 183,000 vehicles in the US, including the Acura RL, Acura MDX and Pilot models.
More than 56,000 vehicles were recalled in Japan, affecting the Odyssey, Legend, StepWgn and Elysion models.
Also being recalled are nearly 8,000 vehicles in Canada, nearly 1,000 in Australia, about 300 in Mexico and 70 in Germany.
The vehicles were produced between March 2004 and May 2006.
Some drivers have complained about the problem, including 17 in Japan and one in the US.
The problem is caused by improper electronics and wiring in the vehicle stability assist system.
No accidents or injuries have been reported from the problem, Takemori said.
Honda declined to say how much this recall will cost or where it had sourced the problematic parts.

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/622,109, filed Jul. 18, 2003, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/GB02/00138, filed Jul. 14, 2002, and claiming priority to British Application GB 0101301.0 filed Jan. 18, 2001, to which the present application also claims priority. The disclosures of the foregoing applications, together with the disclosures of each and every U.S. and foreign patent and patent application mentioned below are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0002] This invention relates to solid-state imager arrangements and more particularly to arrangements in which signal charge multiplication is implemented.
[0003] In a typical charge coupled device (CCD) imager, signal charge representative of incident radiation is accumulated in an array of pixels over an image area. Following an integration period, signal charge is transferred to an output register by applying appropriate clocking or drive pulses to control electrodes. The signal charge is then read out from the output register and applied to a charge detection circuit to produce a voltage, which is representative of the amount of signal charge.
[0004] Our previously published patent application, GB-A-2323471 discloses a CCD imager arrangement in which signal charge multiplication is obtained by providing a separate multiplication register following the output register. Charge is transferred through high field regions in elements of the multiplication register, thus accelerating the signal charge carriers and generating additional carriers through impact ionisation. As carrier multiplication occurs outside the conventional CCD structure itself, both the operation of the multiplication register and the CCD imager may be optimised without compromising the performance of one for the sake of the other.
[0005] The present invention seeks to provide an improved solid-state imager arrangement.
[0006] According to the present invention, there is provided a solid state imager arrangement comprising: an image area, an output register which receives signal charge from the image area, a separate multiplication register into which signal charge from the output register is transferred, means for obtaining signal charge multiplication by transferring the charge through a sufficiently high field in elements of the multiplication register, and an additional register into which excess signal charge is transferred.
[0007] The invention is particularly suitable for arrangements in which the solid-state imager is a CCD imager but it may be applicable to other types of solid-state device in which packets of signal charge are transferred into an output register.
[0008] The excess signal charge is that charge originating from the image area, which does not pass entirely through the charge multiplication register. In the previously proposed arrangement, in parts of a scene of high illumination there is a risk that the well capacities in the multiplication register can be exceeded, leading to saturation and loss of image resolution. Thus, a drain region may be included which accepts charge exceeding a threshold value to avoid saturation.
[0009] The present invention has realised that although the previously proposed structure offers good performance, it is possible to enhance it still further. The inclusion of an additional register to accept excess charge means that in circumstances where the well capacities of the multiplication register are likely to be exceeded, some of the signal charge originating from the image area is diverted away from the multiplication part of the arrangement. Instead, this excess signal charge is transferred to the additional register, which is a structure also capable of holding charge packets, which may be controllably moved through the additional register. The remaining charge, which passes through each multiplication stage, may then be recombined with the excess charge from the additional register. For example, the signal charge packet may be reconstituted by appropriate synchronised clocking of the two register outputs to transfer corresponding charge packets from the multiplication and additional registers to a single charge detection circuit simultaneously. The combining step is conveniently carried out before any further processing of the signal charge is carried out but it could be implemented at a later stage in the processing sequence, for example after charge has been converted at separate charge detection circuits or following conversion into video output. It may not always be necessary to synchronise the multiplication and additional register readouts providing provision is made for combining the signal from charge packets originating from the same pixel.
[0010] By using the invention, the dynamic range may be increased in comparison with the previous arrangement. In the previous arrangement, charge is lost to preserve image resolution at high illumination levels. With the present invention, the additional register acts as an overflow to store the excess signal charge, which can then be usefully added back to the multiplied charge instead of being discarded. This gives the capability for the same imager arrangement to be used for both low light conditions and daylight conditions. It also permits dark and bright images in a scene to be detected simultaneously without loss of resolution in the high intensity regions.
[0011] The dynamic range capability of a CCD is often described by the ratio of the saturation signal to the read noise. In the previous device employing a multiplication register, the transfer curve is linear and saturation is determined by the charge handling capability of the output circuit or of the elements of the multiplication register which is typically only a few times greater than that of the pixel. Since gain implemented by the multiplication register may be 200 times or greater, the saturation signal may represent less than 1% of the well capacity of the pixel. By employing the invention, however, the whole range of pixel well capacity may be used, giving the consequent increase in dynamic range.
[0012] The transfer of excess signal charge into the additional register may be accomplished by passive means or by active means, such as a gate electrode structure to which control signals are applied.
[0013] There are several ways in which excess charge may be separated from the remaining charge, which is transferred through each element of the multiplication register. In one embodiment, the signal charge from the output register is applied to the multiplication register. The charge is increased as it is clocked through the multiplication register and undergoes signal multiplication. The additional register is located adjacent the multiplication register, separated therefrom by a potential barrier. Excess charge from the multiplication register flows over the barrier and into a corresponding element of the additional register. The signal charge from the two registers may be detected on separate amplifiers or combined and detected on a single output as the sum of the two register outputs.
[0014] If the multiplication register has a peak capacity N electrons and a gain of G, the response is linear with a slope of G up to N/G input electrons and then logarithmic to N input electrons. For signal inputs of N electrons or greater, all elements of the multiplication register will be full, so gain contribution to the output signal will be fixed and the response will consequently, again, be linear with a slope of 1. Thus, the dynamic range is effectively extended by a factor of approximately G, but the additional capacity required is only increased by the logarithm of G.
[0015] The excess signal charge may be transferred to the additional register via one or more elements of the multiplication register as described above. In another embodiment, excess charge is separated from the remainder of the signal charge before the remainder is applied to the multiplication register. For example, signal charge may be detected or sampled either before application of the charge packet to the multiplication register or via one or more elements of the multiplication register. Subsequent transfer of the excess signal charge to the additional register may then be carried out depending on the magnitude of signal charge detected. For example, if it is determined that the signal charge in the first element of multiplication register would lead to saturation in the final element of the multiplication register, following amplification as the charge is transferred through the multiplication register, an amount of signal charge suitable to prevent saturation from occurring may be diverted as excess charge to the additional register. In another embodiment, a fixed percentage of the signal charge may always be diverted to the additional register as excess charge, but this may lead to some reduction in the amount of multiplication, which could otherwise be achieved.
[0016] The excess signal charge may simply be that which exceeds a threshold level at some stage in the transfer of the signal charge through the multiplication register. The threshold level may be fixed or may be variable to take into account changes in the scene being viewed by the arrangement and/or ambient conditions.
[0017] The arrangement may be such that each element of the multiplication register corresponds to and is in communication with an element in the additional register, with transfer of excess charge being possible from each element in the multiplication register. In another arrangement, such transfer may only be possible from certain of the elements of the multiplication register, for example from alternate elements or from elements towards the output end of the multiplication register.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the additional register is located physically close to the multiplication register so as to permit direct transfer of charge between the two via the intervening structure. However, they could be remotely located with respect to one another with charge being transferred via intervening circuitry and clocking techniques.
[0019] The invention is most applicable to an arrangement in which a single multiplication and a single additional register are included. However, in some embodiments, a multiplication register may be associated with a plurality of additional registers, which may be arranged in parallel or in a cascade arrangement. Also, a plurality of multiplication registers, each with its own additional register or registers may be included in an arrangement to accept signal charge from a single output register. These architectures however are somewhat complicated and it is not apparent that the complexity would be offset by improved performance.
[0020] Some ways in which the invention may be performed are now described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0029] The embodiments of the invention all involve the use of a multiplication register for multiplying signal charge from a solid-state imager and an additional register arranged to receive excess charge. The purpose of the arrangement is to provide a greater dynamic range by providing gain to small levels of charge (low light levels) whilst avoiding providing too much gain to higher levels of charge (high light levels).
[0030] Charge is divided between the multiplication register and the additional register in two ways. First, as described later in relation to FIG. 1, excess charge transfers from each element of the multiplication register to corresponding elements of the additional register. This transfer can be by overspill over a potential barrier (FIG. 7) or by clocked elements (FIG. 8). Second, as described later in relation to FIGS. 2 and 3, excess charge is transferred to the additional register prior to applying charge to the multiplication register. The first and second methods of dividing the charge may be used together or separately. The preferred embodiment uses both charge division before the multiplication register and transfer from the multiplication register to the additional register, although these will be described separately for clarity.
[0031] The embodiments start from the premise that, for the portion of the signal from the imager that has, say, greater than 20,000 electrons, no benefit accrues from multiplication. This size of signal can be detected efficiently with a conventional charge detection circuit. By diversion of excess charge from the gain register into a parallel, non-gain, register, only a small proportion of the charge (that which cannot be efficiently detected without gain) is subject to gain. The total charge in the gain and the non-gain registers will not be much greater than for a system with no gain, and so the two charge streams may be recombined, since the total is within the range of a single charge detection circuit with a sensitivity only slightly less than would be required with no gain register. As described later, therefore, the streams of charge in the gain (multiplication) and non-gain (additional) registers can be recombined prior to detection.
[0032] The option still exists to detect the two charge streams on different charge detection circuits, but little or nothing is gained in performance at the expense of greater complexity.
[0033] Charge partition between the multiplication and additional registers takes place before the charge multiplication. In addition, as gain is applied and the amount of charge in the gain register increases, the excess is continually diverted to the parallel, non-gain register along the whole length of the gain register. In this way, the gain register only ever needs to handle a small amount of charge so, rather than increasing in width, the width is small and remains small.
[0034] The gain register includes a high voltage clock, which is responsible for significant power dissipation when applied to the capacitance of the gain register. Keeping this register small gives useful reduction in power dissipation.
[0035] In order to maintain a very low charge level in the gain register the storage area is small and the potential barrier separating the gain register and overspill register is also low. With a non-clocked barrier presenting this low potential barrier (FIG. 7), it is only possible to hold a large amount of charge in the overspill register by giving that register a large storage area. This large storage area increases capacitance and hence increases the power dissipated during clocking. The clocked overspill (FIG. 8) effectively makes the barrier directional, so charge cannot flow from the overspill to multiplication register and the storage area can, therefore, be more moderate.
[0036] With reference to FIG. 1, a CCD imager 1 includes an image area 2, a store section 3 and an output or readout register 4. the output register 4 is extended linearly to provide a multiplication register 5, the output of which is connected to a charge detection circuit 6. An additional register 7 having the same number of elements as the multiplication register 5 is located physically adjacent to the multiplication register 5, an implanted barrier region 8, shown schematically, being located between the two registers 5 and 7.
[0037] During operation of the device, incident radiation is converted at the image area 2 into signal charge representative of the intensity of radiation, which impinges on the pixel array making up the image area 2. Following an integration period during which image acquisition occurs, drive pulses are applied to control electrodes 9 to transfer charge accumulated at the pixels of the image area 2 to the store section 3. Simultaneously, drive signals are also applied to control electrodes 10 at the store section to cause charge to be transferred row by row towards the output register 4.
[0038] When a row of signal charge has been transferred to the output register 4, appropriate drive pulses are applied to electrodes 11 to sequentially transfer the signal charge from the elements of the output register 4 to those of the multiplication register 5, which is of similar architecture to the output register.
[0039] Multiplication of charge is implemented at each element of the multiplication register 5. High amplitude drive pulses, at the rate at which charge is clocked through the output register 4, are applied to control electrodes 12 to both transfer signal charge from one element to the next adjacent element in the direction shown by the arrow and also to increase the level of signal charge by an amount determined by the amplitude of the drive pulses. As each packet of charge is transferred through the multiplication register from one element to the next, the signal charge increases. The output of the multiplication register 5 is applied to the charge detector 6, this being a multiplied version of the signal charge collected in the output register 4. At each stage of the multiplication register 5, the signal charge is increased and each signal charge packet stored in the output register 4 undergoes identical multiplication process as each travels through all the elements of the multiplication register 5. In another embodiment, signal charge multiplication is controlled by the level of one or more dc potentials applied to the register.
[0040] The above description of the operation of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 is carried out when the signal charge collected at the image area 2 is relatively small and thus saturation does not occur during transfer through the multiplication register 5, the well capacity of the final element or elements of the register 5 being sufficient to accommodate the multiplied charge packets. However, in the event that the charge collected increases beyond the well capacity of the elements of the register 5, some of the charge is transferred from the elements of the multiplication register 5 via the implanted barrier into corresponding elements of the additional register 7. The amount of excess charge transferred to the additional register 7 is dependent on the barrier potential. In this embodiment, the barrier potential is fixed and is uniform along the length of the multiplication and additional registers 5 and 7. In other devices the potential is variable via control electrodes and/or is non-uniform. If the charge applied to the first element of the multiplication register 5 is reasonably small, so that at the final element 5 the well capacity would only be exceeded by a relatively small amount, transfer via the barrier between the two registers only occurs between elements at the ends of the registers where the charge has undergone the most multiplication, for example, over the last two or three elements. Where a larger signal charge appears at the first element of the multiplication register 5, then transfer of the excess charge to the additional register 7 occurs over a greater length of the two registers, transfer being possible between each element of the multiplication register 5 and a corresponding element of the additional register 7. The two registers 5 and 7 are clocked in synchronism so that the charge appearing at the final element of the two registers originated with the same packet of signal charge from a common pixel of the image area 2. The outputs of the two registers are then combined at combiner 13 prior to being applied to the charge detector 6. In one embodiment, the registers are clocked in synchronism with line timing of a television signal.
[0041] The elements of the multiplication and/or additional registers may have the same charge capacity, or elements nearer the end or ends may have larger charge capacity.
[0042] In another embodiment (described later in relation to FIG. 8), a control gate structure is disposed between the multiplication register 5 and additional register 7 to control the transfer of excess charge to the latter by applying suitable control pulses. A combination of the two approaches may be used.
[0043]FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the invention in which a processing circuit is located between the output register 4 and the multiplication register 5. A detector circuit 14 detects the amount of charge for an element from the output register 4 and causes a fixed percentage of that charge to be diverted to the additional register 7. In other respects, the arrangement is similar to that shown in FIG. 1. However, in this type of device, it is not necessary to arrange for the additional register 7 to be in physical proximity to the multiplication register 5 as there is no direct connection between the two for transfer of excess charge to the additional register 7.
[0044] In the devices of FIGS. 1 and 2, the charge from the multiplication register and that from the additional register is recombined prior to being applied to charge detector 6. In other arrangements, recombination is carried out at a later stage in the processing of the output signal. Also, it may be desirable in some applications to add a multiplication capability to the additional register 7, which performs in a similar way to that of the multiplication register 5.
[0045] With reference to FIG. 3, in another embodiment similar to that shown in FIG. 2, a threshold circuit 15 replaces the detector circuit 14 and acts on applied signal charge to divert charge exceeding a threshold level to the additional register 7. The threshold level can be fixed or variable. For example, it may be arranged to automatically track changes in ambient temperature or other parameters, or it could be controllably adjustable.
[0046] With reference to FIG. 4, a device similar to that of FIG. 1 also includes an implanted barrier 8 between a multiplication register 5 and additional register means for carrying excess charge. However the register means includes two additional registers 16 and 17 also having an implanted barrier 18 between them. Excess charge from additional register 16 is thus transferred to additional register 17, and outputs of the three registers are recombined at combiner 19. This arrangement may be advantageous where signal charge multiplication is carried out in the first additional register 16 as well as in the multiplication register 5. In other architectures (not shown), several additional registers may be arranged in communication with a respective different set of the elements of the multiplication register.
[0047] FIGS. 1-4 illustrate the application of the invention to a CCD imager of the Frame Transfer architecture but it is equally applicable to all other architectures e.g. Interline Transfer and Linear imagers.
[0048] A schematic cross section of each element in the multiplication register is shown in FIG. 5. The element comprises a base 20 of p-type silicon, an n-type layer 22 and a dielectric layer 24. (this describes an n-channel CCD. In principle, the multiplication structures described could also be applied to a p-channel CCD) On the dielectric layer, each element has four electrodes shown as normal clocked electrodes Rφ1 26 and Rφ3 28, a DC electrode RφDC 30 and a high voltage electrode Rφ2HV 32. The element provides gain by clocking voltages at the electrodes such that a relatively high voltage at electrode Rφ2HV 32 causes multiplication of charge. The clocking of the electrodes is shown further in FIG. 6.
[0049] The element of the multiplication register is made up of four phases although other configurations could be possible. Rφ1 and Rφ3 are clocked as normal readout register phases. RφDC is a DC phase that separates Rφ1 from Rφ2HV. Rφ2HV, the multiplication phase, is a clocked phase but using a much greater amplitude than Rφ1 and Rφ3. On the high to low transition of Rφ1, signal originally under Rφ1 will drift to Rφ2HV. The potential on Rφ2HV is set high enough so that the fields experienced by the electron signal will cause multiplication to take place. Once the signal electrons and the electrons created by the impact ionisation are collected under Rφ2HV the total amplified signal can then be transferred to Rφ3 by switching Rφ2HV low and Rφ3 high. The process is repeated through all the gain elements in the multiplication register. As an example, the device could have 591 gain elements. If the impact ionisation increases the signal by 1% at each element, the combined gain of the register of the CCD65 will be 1.01591=358.
[0050] As shown, charge is increased in each element by application of voltage at Rφ2HV, which causes impact electrons to form. It is noted, for the avoidance of doubt that the voltages shown are clocked and so vary in amplitude. The voltages are shown at a given instant.
[0051] The elements of the multiplication register in the arrangement of FIGS. 1 to 4 described are arranged adjacent corresponding elements of the additional register with a barrier region 8 between them as previously described, and this barrier is shown in more detail in FIG. 7.
[0052] One element of the multiplication register 5, barrier region 8 and additional register 7 are shown. As can be seen, the electrons that have been subject to multiplication collect in Rφ3 well of the multiplication elements 5. A barrier potential 8 between the multiplication elements and the overspill additional register 7 ensures that electrons do not transfer until the charge in each multiplication element reaches the barrier level, at which point excess charge spills over into wells of the additional register 7 as shown by the arrow.
[0053] As previously noted, the preferred embodiment of the invention is a CCD imager as shown and described in relation to FIGS. 1 to 4, but modified to include a clocking region in addition to the barrier region 8. The clocking region comprises a group of elements, one such group being shown in FIG. 8. Each clocking element is arranged between one element of the multiplication register and one element of the additional register. The final electrode of each multiplication element is Rφ3M and this is separated into two regions by a potential barrier. Charge is transferred into the main region from the previous electrode of the multiplication register. On progressing through successive elements of the multiplication register, charge is increased until the charge in one of the wells under electrode Rφ3M is sufficient to spill over into the smaller region. The clocking element then proceeds through a three-phase cycle.
[0054] In the first phase, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 8(A), potentials at Rφ1C and Rφ2C are low (that is the voltage applied is low so the well is shallow) so that electrons passing the barrier are trapped. At the second phase, FIG. 8(B), the potential at Rφ1C goes high and at Rφ3M goes low causing electrons to transfer to the well under Rφ1C. In the third phase FIG. 8(C) the potential at electrode Rφ1C goes low and at Rφ2C goes high transferring charge to the well at Rφ2C. Lastly in FIG. 8(D) the potential at electrode Rφ2C goes low and at Rφ3O goes high transferring charge to the well at Rφ3O in the overspill register.
[0055] The embodiment thus does not gather charge on the opposite side of the barrier potential from Rφ3M, but moves charge away to Rφ1C and Rφ2C from where it is transferred to the additional register. By doing so, the extension of dynamic range is not impaired by the limited capacity of the overspill register with a low potential barrier as in the arrangement of FIG. 7.
[0056] The clocking connections for multiplication and additional registers and the clocking elements between them will now be described.
[0057] The various regions of the multiplication and overspill register structure may in principle have separate clock connections. For the Multiplication register these may be designated Rφ1M, RφDC, Rφ2HV, and Rφ3M (using the suffix M to denote �m�ultiplication and to distinguish from other registers). For the Overspill register they may be designated Rφ1O, Rφ2O and Rφ3O (using the suffix 0 to denote �o�verspill). For the additional clocking region between the two registers they may be designated Rφ1C, Rφ2C and Rφ3C (using the suffix C to denote �c�lock). Rφ3C is not shown in FIGS. 8-10 but it may exist in a practical application of the invention. Separate clock pulses may be applied to all of these connections and variety of clocking schemes devised which would give correct operation of the structures. However there are clear advantages to be obtained both in layout topology and operational simplicity if a number of these clock connections are commoned together.
[0058] In the case of the unclocked transfer of charge from the multiplication to the overspill register, as shown in FIG. 9, Rφ1M and Rφ1O may be joined to form a single Rφ1; Rφ3M and Rφ3O may be joined to form a single Rφ3. The same clock pulse sequence and timing as would be required for a simple multiplication register without overspill may then be used to operate the device with the addition of a single extra clock phase Rφ2O (typically designated Rφ2) which completes a normal 3-phase group of clocks with Rφ1 and Rφ3. These 3 clock phases Rφ1, Rφ2 and Rφ3 may also be joined to the corresponding clock connections for the standard readout register of the CCD (designated 11 in FIG. 1).
[0059] In the case of a clocked overspill structure a similar set of connections may be made. Rφ1M, Rφ1O and Rφ1C may be joined to form a single Rφ1; Rφ2O and Rφ2C joined to form Rφ2 and Rφ3M, Rφ3O and Rφ3C joined to form Rφ3. These clocks may also be commoned with those of the standard readout register as before. The resulting structure has the same set of connections as the basic structure and will operate with the same set of clock pulses (timing and amplitude). It must be noted however that the charge, which is clocked to the overspill register, is effectively delayed by one element from its associated signal in the multiplication register and allowance must be made for this in recombining the signal e.g. by including an extra element between the multiplication register and the output amplifier. The clock connections may be commoned in a number of different ways depending on the layout topology of the CCD e.g. the way in which the multiplication register is folded to minimise device area. As indicated in the figures a single polysilicon electrode may cross 2 or 3 regions to common the clock connection directly. Alternatively (also as indicated) polysilicon electrodes for different regions may connect to separate low-resistance bus lines (as is standard for CCDs) and these bus lines may join on chip or be connected to separate bond pads with the connection made externally. In practical implementations of CCD image sensors we have made these common connections which means that only two additional connections (RφDC and Rφ2HV) to those required for a standard CCD allow operation of any device with a multiplication register and either (or no) overspill register structure.
[0060] The invention has been described in detail with respect to referred embodiments, and it will now be apparent from the foregoing to those skilled in the art, that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and the invention, therefore, as defined in the appended claims, is intended to cover all such changes and modifications that fall within the true spirit of the invention.

David Garibaldi: From Outlaw to International Hip Hop Artist
Name: David Garibaldi
School: Sheldon High School
Location: Elk Grove Unified School District
CTA: Animation Pathway
Status: Professional Artist and Performance Painter
David Garibaldi is a performance artist with a calling. Garibaldi dances on a drop cloth while two DJs and drummer play hip-hop music. Compact and energetic, he grabs paintbrushes as he moves. Holding one in each hand, he starts making brush strokes on a life-size canvas board. As he dances, a portrait slowly emerges before your eyes: Martin Luther King Jr., Jimi Hendrix, Madeleine Albright. He calls the piece "Rhythm and Hue." He frequently performs at schools. And during the show, he tells the students his story.
Garibaldi was failing in high school; he was more interested in painting graffiti late at night in rail yards and back alleys. That was true until his junior year: "That's when I walked into the classroom of . . . " He pauses dramatically, then finishes: "Mr. Sullivan." Shawn Sullivan teaches the animation pathway program at Sheldon High School, in Elk Grove, California. Sullivan was blunt with the young man. "You can get paid to do this, or you will pay for doing it." A switch clicked on in Garibaldi's head.
Over the next few years, Garibaldi learned animation, taught himself formal painting, and began creating his hip-hop performance show. He's toured with the Blue Man Group, performed during halftime at sporting events, and took his act to Europe. This year, a documentary about his work, titled Walking Dreams, premiered. Wherever he goes, Garibaldi makes time to meet with students and urges them to stay in school. "Art changed my life, and now I know it can change other lives."
