It is sad news today, news that will greatly upset a lot of the followers of The Somme. Unfortunately we've collectively agreed as a team to let The Somme peacefully pass away. We acknowledge this might come as a huge shock due to the recent post regarding a firm revival of The Somme, however due to unforeseen circumstances financially, The Somme could no longer sustain itself. This comes with the territory of being a real indie game, indie games are plagued with the problem of funding and believe us when we say we did our complete best in looking for a cure. Maybe one day the project might arise if the funding is there, but from strong observation the probability of that happening is tremendously low.
We hope that you understand the severity of the issues that plague such a ambitious project - we want to thank you as a community for being absolutely amazing, loving and very interested in the product.
Thank you, and good night.
- The Somme
I hope so. Can't wait for some new images ;)
i've heard a rumour that there's to be another video :D
Will you manually operate the bolt or will it automatically do it? I like to have to click to reload after each shot
It's an option in the menu(s) to enable or disable auto-bolting.
Any chance we'll see some underground tunnel warfare beneath the battlefield? I think that would be incredible to have a network of tunnels beneath the main map and having to fight it out in close quarters in almost pitch darkness and also its a part of WW1 that is rarely explored but was quite significant.
I'm not sure how that would work in a multi-player, sounds more like a single player campaign thing to me!
Yeah your probably right! Thanks for the quick reply anyway and keep up the great work!
Actually i agree, but like... The player needs to dig it, to get to the enemy base or something, underground tunnels would work pretty well :D
is there gonne be a free public beta testing?

Previous literature has established that gang membership is associated with higher rates of drug use. In the forthcoming article, "Gang membership and substance use: Guilt as a gendered causal pathway," in The Journal of Experimental Criminology, Methodology Center Investigator Donna Coffman and two other researchers examine whether anticipated guilt for substance use explains this association. The authors also expand the available set of methods for causal inference when assessing mediation in the presence of moderation and time-varying confounding.

A Bunch of People Wearing Oculus Rifts and Falling on Their Butts

The bat cave. No one can know about it. It's Batman's lair of perfect solitude, of secrecy crucial to his every plan and action. His survival. So of course we'll all soon be able to track our muddy virtual shoes through it. Hurrah! »
Ah the Roxbury Guys sketch! It's one of the most memorable sketches (and lesser movies) to come out of SNL in the mid-90s. Now you can experience it in stunning virtual reality! »
QUOTE | "We're going to be remembered as the dorky looking goggles that people were putting on in the beginning." - Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe, talking about what he sees as a vast future for Virtual Reality. »
Virtual reality has so many applications beyond just games and boob grabbing simulators — you can also use it to make wonderful 3D art. »
At a gaming community event in Uganda the other day, the organisers thought it'd be fun to strap an Oculus Rift headset to one of the security guards. He was not ready. »
So the latest version of the Oculus Rift was just released, and I've got one. It's called the DK2, and it's the next big step on the road to VR headsets becoming something people actually have in their living rooms. There's no set date for the retail version yet, but Mark Zuckerberg's controversial $2 billion… »
When Oculus was purchased by Facebook for $2 billion earlier this year, Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson famously cut ties with the VR company. Now that Notch has sold his company to Microsoft for $2.5 billion, Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe has a little something to say. »
No, you still can't buy a consumer version of the amazing Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, but it's getting really, really close! Oculus just announced a brand-new prototype at the company's Oculus Connect conference in Los Angeles, and they claim it's a GIANT leap forward. »
Folks are using the Oculus Rift for all sorts of interesting things. You name it, and there's probably a Rift demo for it. But this has to be the first Rift-enabled rollercoaster simulator for the internet that I've ever seen. »
Virtual reality is an exciting technology that is now finally coming into its own. There are limitless possibilities, (like understanding the prose of James Joyce). But to heck with that — people are just gonna use it to perv out. »
Their reactions are mixed, but all the elders lose themselves quickly in the Fine Bros' recent React video. »
It should be a truth universally acknowledged that any man or woman using Oculus Rift will look like a dumbass. As awesome as it is to experience Oculus Rift, to everyone else, you are a crazy person with a black box strapped onto your face groping at thin air. And then I, of course, had to strap myself to some… »
Sure, he killed a buncha bad guys later, but Luke Skywalker wasn't always a badass Jedi. He spends much of the first film wandering around like a useless dork, which is exactly the kind of Luke Sywalker this new VR demo will have you simulate. »
When the Oculus rep met my confused look with, "yeah, we weren't sure it was going to work either," I didn't know what to expect. As it turns out third person works in VR. »
HL2: episode 1 on the Oculus Rift with Razer's Hydra motion controllers so you can see your hands move? Hell yes. Check out this Half-Life VR mod video from Kiwi YouTube gamer Goldfish highlighting some of the amazing dev work. »
Get ready. When the Oculus Rift really hits it big, there'll be loads of things that you do now very quickly and very easily that will suddenly become very hard, because the Oclus Rift will make it hard. Your Facebook jokes have been done to death, but let's not forget the danger facing other services like Netflix. »
"Don't be That VR Guy," I keep thinking. I've spent the last couple of weeks playing Elite: Dangerous, a PC space-sim that works with the newest Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. It's been pretty amazing, and I'm having a hard time not being That VR Guy. »
If anyone knows what's going to happen to virtual reality it's Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus VR and inventor of the Oculus Rift. So I asked him. »
Over the last couple of weeks, Oculus has started sending out the new version of their much-vaunted Rift virtual reality headset. If you're curious what the next step in home VR immersion looks like, well, good news. It's here, and it's pretty cool. »

LG Windows Phone 7 handset out in Q4
LG showed off its upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series smartphone this weekend. But despite recent speculation that the handset would debut this coming September - when Windows Phone 7 is itself to be released - LG confirmed that buyers have a longer wait than that. LG Windows Phone 7 handset LG's Windows Phone 7: no name, no …
Hardly inspiring 7
The mock up doesn't go to landscape when you slide out the keyboard and can't wrap or zoom the day of the week text?
I'd rather the phone display reflected the way it's held, rather than the state of the slider. The N95 was much improved when they changed that. This one looks like it's being held in portrait mode.
As for the month not wrapping or zooming, from what I've seen of 7, the phone display is a viewport on a larger display, which would mean that wrapping or shrinking that text to the screen would break the style of the display.
I can't say I'm particularly bothered by it. It's not like I wouldn't be able to see at a glance what the month is from that.
I'd still like an Android version though...
Win7? Why Bother?
This is a miss by LG. If they had offered this on Android, it would have been an upgrade to all the Droid fans complaining that they don't have a decent slide-out keyboard alternative to the current touch screen fashion.
Hell, I'd look at getting it too if it was an Android release.
its just a mock up, it obviously will go landscape they are just showing the keyboard and the front screen. If it was a picture of a blank text it wouldnt really be showing you anything of interest with windows 7 series
Who cares about Andriod
I'm particularly excited to see what MS can deliver with this new incarnation of Windows Mobile. There is absolutely NOTHING that interests me about Andriod. Surely I cant be alone in this?
........ (and silence)

Interesting choices. Seems to me, the weekly has chosen a group of self-centered, single issue people who are not concerned about PA as a whole. BTW, beware of "friends" groups--they scream single issue. Typical and not unexpected choices from the Weekly.

The receiver performs real time parallel signal processing to effectively capture a given signal of interest. The receiver modulates a laser beam with incoming RF signals. The modulated laser beam is then Fourier transformed, channelized into an array of signals of varying frequencies, optically filtered and then down converted into their original radio frequencies with only the pass characteristics altered so that the captured signal can be readily identified.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to optical information processing and, more particularly, to the sorting and classification of radio frequency signals and the excision of interference.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
A given signal waveform usually consists of the signal of interest and interference. The signal and interference composite is a current or voltage waveform which is a function of time. Usually, only the signal without interference is of concern, and more specifically, only certain frequencies of the given signal are of concern; therefore, it is necessary to extract the useful information and isolate the desired frequencies from the composite signal.
A receiver has the job of extracting source information from a received modulated signal which has in some form been corrupted by interference. A modulated signal is originally a bandpass signal with a given carrier frequency that has been encoded with source information by the process of modulation. Standard receivers employ the superheterodyne receiving technique. This technique consists of either up-converting or down-converting the input signal to some convenient frequency band, and then extracting the encoded information by using the appropriate detector. Filtering in the superheterodyne receiver is done at the original radio frequency and at the up or down converted frequency.
It has been shown that maximum probability of detection of a signal occurs when it is processed with a matched filter. Basically, the purpose of a matched filter is to characterize an incoming waveform based on a predetermined signal waveshape as determined by the transfer function of the matched filter. In other words, a matched filter is used to detect the presence of a particular signal based on the characteristics of that particular signal. The objective of a matched filter system is to weight the input signal waveform and filter the interference so that at the sampling time the output signal level will be as large as possible with respect to the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the output noise level. A matched filter is therefore a linear filter that minimizes the noise level while maximizing the signal level. In applications employing matched filter filtering systems, the signal may or may not be present, but if it is present, its waveshape must be completely or nearly completely characterized. When the waveshape is not known, or not completely characterized, a search for a signal generally means that conditions for intercept will be less than ideal. That is, the filter pass band must be large enough to pass all frequencies of all possible signals with the most generalized response, clearly not a matched filter.
Broadband receivers often have to function in dense signal and noise environments. The job of a filtering system or receiver is to sort, classify and remove interference, such as noise, from signals of interest (SOI). The interference may be characterized as noise from the outside world and disturbances from the electronic components as well as mechanical components of the system itself. To enhance the filtering function it would be highly desirable to perform real-time parallel signal processing to effectively channelize and remove unwanted spectra from the SOI's. This would in effect transform a single channel that is corrupted with unwanted signals, interference and noise to a specific number of discrete channels where each is tailored to selected SOI's.
The accepted practice has been to electronically filter the given signals. It has been found, however, that electronic filtering means have a number of distinct disadvantages. Inherent in electronic filters is the problem of phase distortion and non-linear effects. In addition, electronic filters are also susceptable to noise corruption; therefore, other techniques such as optical filtering of signals have increasingly become of interest.
The prior art shows a number of examples of optical systems for the detection and/or removal of interference and unwanted frequencies from given SOI's. U.S. Pat. No. 4,645,300, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, discloses a Fourier Plane Recursive Optical Filter which is used to recursively pass a given signal beam a multiplicity of times through a single optical spatial filter such that the attenuation of unwanted signal frequencies is multiplied. However, the aforementioned invention does not exploit the advantages of parallel processing.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,671,106, discloses an Optical Multiplex Filter System which is used for optical data processing. The object of the invention is to distribute data over a large number of parallel transmission channels in which the data passes through optical filters that process the data in a described manner. However, the aforementioned invention does not provide the filtered signals at their original radio frequencies.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,699,466, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, discloses an Optical RF Filtering System which is used as an optical notching filter in which a band of radio frequencies such as the RF input of a radio receiver is an input signal. This invention provides adaptive programmable spatial filtering techniques in which an optical filter is programmed to notch out spikes. However, the aforementioned patent does not provide matched filter capabilities.
The present invention is directed to a multi-channel receiver system for processing large numbers of signals in real time by modulating a coherent optical radiation beam with incoming RF signals, channelizing the signals and providing adaptive real-time filtering. The adaptive real-time filtering is accomplished through the use of an electronic controller which has the capability to automatically or interactively control various parameters of the filters. The incoming RF signals are modulated onto a carrier laser beam by means of an acousto-optic modulator. The resulting modulated RF signals are Fourier transformed and channelized to produce nxm number of discrete channels of the RF spectra. The nxm channels of the RF spectra are then passed through a beam splitting means in order to produce two identical arrays of the RF spectra. Each array is then passed through an identical programmable spatial filter (PSF). Each PSF is used to adaptively filter the incoming signal array by physically blocking unwanted frequencies. The filtered signal arrays are then down converted to their original radio frequencies by means of optical heterodyning. One down converted signal array is available for further processing such as in signal detection networks or for archival recording of the filtering signal for dissementation to other systems, while the other array is used by an operator or automatic controller. The operator or automatic controller can structure each channel of the programmable spatial filter with any desired strategy to maximize detection of the signal in real-time. The particular strategy can be preprogrammed to try frequency scans over a specific frequency range, or real time operator instructions can be utilized to try different filter frequencies or shapes. The electronic controller configures the programmable spatial filters in order to achieve matched filter operation at the receiver.
The multi-channel receiver system of the present invention provides for the detection and classification of an incoming band of signals by dedicating an optical channel for each specific SOI intercept. The multi-channel receiver of the present invention approaches 100 percent SOI intercept probability by providing a selected number of responses throughout an operating band where matching the response to the signal would come closer to an ideal matched filter.
The multi-channel receiver can be used for intelligence gathering and recording and for sorting and filtering through radio frequency spectra to reduce bottlenecks in downstream serial processing.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings the forms which are presently preferred; however, it should be understood that the invention is not necessarily limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities here shown.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the multi-channel receiver system of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a programmable spatial filter embodied in the invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the liquid crystal filter elements of the filter of FIG. 2 in greater detail.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the control system employed by the multi-channel receiver system of the present invention.
The multi-channel receiver system of the present invention optically filters and classifies incoming radio frequency (RF) signals by dedicating a channel for each specific signal of interest (SOI) and selectively rejecting unwanted frequencies and noise. In the multi-channel receiver system, a beam of substantially coherent light is modulated by a spectrum of RF SOI's and transformed into the Fourier domain. The modulated light beam is channelized into a plurality of channels, each corresponding to a preselected RF spectral component of the spectrum of interest. The resulting channelized signals are then divided into two identical arrays of the RF spectra. Each array is then passed through identical programmable spatial filters. The programmable spatial filters are used to selectively reject unwanted frequencies and interference. The two arrays of filtered RF spectra are then down converted to their original radio frequencies by means of optical heterodyning. One array of down converted signals is available for further signal processing systems or archival recording, while the other array is directed a to control system that can structure each channel of the programmable spatial filters with a particular strategy to maximize detection of the signal of interest.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a schematic diagram illustrating the multi-channel receiver 10 architecture. An electromagnetic radiation source 12 produces a substantially coherent electromagnetic radiation wave or light beam 14 with a given wave length. The electromagnetic radiation source 12 can be a gas laser such as a helium neon gas laser or a semiconductor laser such as a laser diode. Operating efficiency is greater with single-frequency laser operation which can be obtained with most semiconductor lasers, or if a gas laser is used that does not provide acceptable single-frequency laser operation, an intra or extra cavity Farby Perot interferometer structure can be added.
The substantially coherent electromagnetic radiation light beam 14 is passed through a first beam splitter 16 in order to produce two beams 18 and 20 from the one incoming beam. Beam 18 is used as the carrier beam in the filtering system and beam 20 is used as a local oscillator beam in the down conversion process. Alternatively, the zero order term of acousto-optic modulator (AOM) 30 can be extracted at the output of the AOM 30 and used as the local oscillator beam 20. The principles of operation of the AOM 30 will be described below. The carrier beam 18 is then passed through a wave plate 22 in order to adjust the polarization of the incoming beam 18. It should be noted that the various components of the multi-channel receiver system affect the polarization of the radiation; therefore, it is necessary to maintain the equivalent polarization throughout the device in order to ensure proper down conversion. The properly polarized light beam 24 is then brought incident onto a cylindrical lens 26 in order to develop a one-dimensional sheet beam 28 for entrance into the AOM 30.
The AOM 30 is a complex light modulator which transforms a radio frequency signal to an acoustic wave which modulates the refractive index of the optical material, thereby producing a phase modulated medium manifested periodic with the radio frequency signal. The modulated medium appears to the incident laser beam as a dynamic phase grating which produces a zero order signal, a first order signal, and depending upon operating regions sometimes higher orders, emerging as an exciting beam where angular deflection is proportional to the radio frequency signal. When light from a radiation source is transmitted at an appropriate angle through a medium which is transparent to light and through which an ultrasonic wave is propagated and the refractive index of the medium is varied periodically with time, the light is diffracted. At this time, the frequency of the light beam is shifted by the number of vibrations of the ultrasonic wave. This is accomplished when an incoming RF signal produces an electric field across a transducer (i.e. piezoelectric crystal transducer) which creates a strain proportional to the incoming RF signal. This strain is the aforementioned ultrasonic wave. The result most closely resembles a narrow band phase modulated signal. A Bragg Cell may be used for imposing the RF signal spectral intellegence on the carrier beam 26 in the form of narrow beam phase modulation. If a Bragg Cell is used for the AOM 30, it typically comprises an optical medium such as a crystal element driven by an appropriate transducer. A further description of the AOM 30 is given in U.S. Pat. No. 4,699,466 assigned to the same assignee as the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
In the receiver system of the invention, an RF signal is brought into the AOM 30 by an RF amplifier 32. The output of the AOM 30 is a narrow band phase modulated beam 34 that is the first order signal. The modulated beam 34 is then input to a second cylindrical lens 36 in order to develop a two-dimensional sheet beam 38. The two-dimensional sheet beam 38 is directed to a multiple holographic lens (MHL) 40. The MHL 40 is fabricated in a known manner such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,421,379 assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. The MHL 40 divides the modulated sheet beam 38 into a plurality of distinct channels in the form of an array 42. In addition, the MHL 40 performs an optical Fourier transform of the incident modulated beam 38, so that the array of channels contain the spectra of the original incoming RF signal.
The array of transformed beams or RF spectra 42, now in the spatial frequency domain, are then directed into a beam splitter/combiner 44, which is an optical cube, where it is summed with the local oscillator beam 20 and split into two identical arrays 46 and 48 for further processing. The beam 20 is directed to the beam splitter/combiner 44 by reflective elements, such as mirrors 21 and 23 respectively. The composite arrays 46 and 48 each pass through programmable spatial filters 50 and 52 respectively.
In one embodiment, each of the PSF's 50 and 52 is essentially a comb filter (see FIGS. 2 and 3) having liquid crystal teeth like columns or segments 53 arranged linearly on a suitable transparent plate 54 having a transparent backplane 55 in the path of the transformed radiation passing through the beam splitter/combiner 44. Each liquid crystal segment or element 53 is connected by means of conductors 56 and 57 to terminals 58 and 59 on the edges 60 and 61 respectively of plate 54 such that connections can be made thereto for passing an electric current selectively through the segments. Terminals 58 and 59 are suitably plugged into terminating means (not shown) in electrical conduit 60 such that the PSF's 50 and 52 are in circuit with the electronic controller 70. Different types of liquid crystal materials are available to obtain a variety of effects. The elements can be activated to block a signal or deactivated to pass the signal. Each channel of the PSF 50 and 52 is specifically tailored for each incoming signal of interest. Specifically, the pass characteristics of each PSF can be formed for narrowband, broadband, discontinuous and disjoint spectra as well as for notching or passing spectral bands. The PSF's 50 and 52 can be reconfigured or re-programmed in near real-time (as fast as the photoconductive surfaces's permit) either remotely or on site.
In the PSF, each segment or element corresponds to a narrow RF frequency band. In a practical embodiment of the invention, 256 segments which can be selectively activated, as required, in any combination, are provided. It will be appreciated that a number of segments greater or fewer than 256 can be provided if the application so dictates. When not activated, the PSF is highly transmissive optically and passes incident radiation substantially unchanged to the photomixer arrays. However, when a segment is activated by an electrical signal from the filter activation system, the change in alignment of the constituent crystals in the liquid crystal due to the imposed electrical field renders the element opaque. This blocks the passage of light therethrough to thus notch out radiation of a narrow frequency band of the signal spectrum. In liquid crystals, as is well known, optical attenuation is achieved by cross-polarization, or scattering, or the like. To simplify the explanation of the invention, however, the liquid crystal segments will be said to have been rendered opaque by the imposition of an electrical field thereon irrespective of the phenomenon, whether it be scattering or the like, that is actually involved in the optical attenuation. U.S. Pat. No. 4,699,466 assigned to the same assignee as the present invention contains a description of the use and operation of a PSF as an optical notching filter.
Referring again to FIG. 1, the filtered composite beam arrays 46 and 48 are down converted at detectors 62 and 64, which are mated with the respective PSF 50 and 52. The actual down conversion is done optically and is well known in the art. The local oscillator (LO) beam 20 is summed with the modulated radiation beam 42 at the beam combiner 44. The filtered version of this composite beam is now down converted at the detectors 62 and 64, which may be photomixer arrays that respond as an intensity detector, squaring the sum of the light amplitude. The detectors 62 and 64, must be operatively associated preferably with a specific one of the linear liquid crystal segments or elements of the PSF's 50 and 52. The output arrays 66 and 68 of the detectors 62 and 64 contain a dc term proportional to each light intensity (LO and signal) and a RF term which corresponds to the difference in frequency of the LO beam 20 and the modulated radiation signal beam 42. The various channelized output signals 66 and 68 are available at the original radio frequencies with only the pass characteristics altered.
In another embodiment the detectors 62 and 64 are photo charged-coupled device (CCD) arrays. The CCD arrays 62 and 64 are composed of a linear arrangement of photosensitive CCD elements, the outputs of which are fed into a suitable sample and hold register in controller 70. As in the case with the photomixer arrays, each CCD element is operatively associated preferably with a specific one of the linear liquid crystal segments of the PSF's 50 and 52. Each CCD element will represent some specific frequency band of the spread frequency spectrum to the RF signal imposed by the AOM on the radiation beam and will be associated with a liquid crystal segment representing the same frequency band in the PSF.
The array of output signals 66 are in the form of responses that are available for further information processing by various detection and capture devices as well as many types of recording devices. The impulse responses of output array 68 are used by a controller 70 to adjust the programming of the PSF 50 and 52 to maximize the probability of signal detection.
The controller 70 can operate in an automatic mode or an interactive mode. In the interactive mode, an operator alters the characteristics of both PSF's 50 and 52 via the controller 70. Through the controller 70, the operator can display the filtered array of signals 48 in the frequency domain. In addition, the operator can annotate the various, parameters of the given signals. In other words, the operator has available quantitative as well as qualitative data available to him. Basically, the operator is viewing the power spectrum information of the given signals.
Based on the given data, the operator can alter the pass characteristics of both PSF's 50 and 52 through the controller 70 and then view the results through the display of the controller 70. The controller 70 can change both the frequency and amplitude of all signals in the arrays 46 and 48. By continuously monitoring the display, the operator can in real time adjust the PSF's 50 and 52 for basically any type of pass structure since the PSF's 50 and 52 are in an electronically addressable architecture as mentioned previously.
In an automatic mode of operation, a computer or microprocessor can be programmed to sequentially try different filter patterns. The controller 70 would interface the PSF's 50 and 52 in an identical manner; however, instead of an operator dictating the filter patterns, they are preprogrammed into the computer or microprocessor. In addition to the sequential pattern, the controller 70 can be programmed to remove selected interferers above predetermined thresholds.
Referring now to FIG. 4, controller 70 is shown in detail. A computer terminal 72 displays the location and status of each receiver channel and provides information on bandwidth, response and notches within that bandpass. By placing an index marker 71 and a cross-hair cursor 73 at a particular location on the screen, the particular PSF 52 channel and segment can be manipulated by an operator to control the above mentioned displayed parameters. The computer or microprocessor associated with terminal 72 and keyboard 74 contains a program that allows this type of manipulation. Basically, the computer program forms a matrix of the channels of the PSF 52 and forms specific commands based on entries into the keyboard 74. The generated commands which are based on operator instructions, contain an address and data word for each multi-channel receiver channel. For the purpose of explaining the operation of the controller 70, a command word is chosen to be 8 bits in length with 3 bits allocated for the address, and 5 bits for data. The number of bits chosen is dictated by the number of channels and the number of segments or fingers in each PSF 50 and 52. For example, a 3 bit address field would accomodate 9 channels whereas 6 bits would accomodate 64 channels, and a 5 bit data field would accomodate a 32 segment PSF whereas a 10 bit data field would accomodate a 1024 segment PSF.
The composite word or command is then separated into its component parts wherein the 5 data bits are routed to a 5 bit counter 76 and a 3 bit address decoder 78. The output of the 5 bit counter 76 and the output of the 3 bit address decoder 78 are then routed to a pair of data transfer devices 80, which are multiplexer circuits or holding registers. Basically, the output of the address decoder 78 is used to direct the data to the designated channel. The data is then transferred from the data transfer devices 80 into a pair of counters and latches 82. The data is used to set a counter whose output is latched to drive the segments of both PSF's 50 and 52 in accordance with the keyboard entry. The output of the counters and latches 82 are connected to the channels of both PSF's 50 and 52. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the controller of the multi-channel receiver, two PSF's are used; however, the controller can be configured to control more than two PSF's.
Although shown and described in what are believed to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is apparent that departures from specific methods and designs decribed and shown will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art and may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The present invention in not restricted to the particular constructions described and illustrated, but should be constructed to cohere of all modifications that may fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Hi: 8° Lo:6°
By Rob George Friday 21 December 2012 Updated: 21/12 09:20
TWO women are being questioned about burglaries in Droitwich after they were arrested on suspicion of theft following a tip-off from a member of the public.
The pair were arrested in Newland Road at around 12.45am on Tuesday and were found in possession of bank cards, a chequebook and some satnavs.

"It is almost impossible for me to create without colour."
Columbian artist Ximena Escobar has taken the concept of paint by numbers into a completely different medium. By cutting up coloured felt, she assembles portraits of beautiful women with florals. "This medium is very special to me because the colours also have texture and that makes my work richer and more interesting," she explains. "It is a medium where I can't mix the colours, every one of them is a solid block, so I need to use them in a way I can blend the colours without mixing them. That challenges my work and takes me to some interesting and exciting results."
"Colour is a very important element in my work. It defines the mood of what I am creating, it is also the way I communicate my aesthetic no matter which medium I'm using. Colour inspires and challenges me all the time."
"Colour is part of what I am as an artist. I was born in Colombia which is a very tropical and colourful country. It is almost impossible for me to create something without colour, it is how I communicate what I want to say."
"Colour is the first thing my eyes see and comprehend."
Many of the colour submissions that I've shared in the magazine or in my newsletters are definitely in the realm of the tactile such as paint, paper and fibre. But most of us are also creative with our digital media. UPPERCASE reader Paloma Diaz-Dickson shares her digital palettes with us.
"With the flood of art and design images available to browse on the internet, I find myself liking or disliking pieces usually based on the colour choices. Colour is the first thing my eyes see and comprehend before I look closer to distinguish shape and content. I started collecting colour palettes that draw me in, and in turn, that Photoshop file is the first place I look before starting a project. Sometimes I'll choose an existing palette, sometimes I'll modify it or combine two or more together to get the effect I want. Colour is the source of all my inspiration."
#uppercaselove: Stephanie Brockway
I'm really enjoying the colourful photos of issue 22 coming through over Instagram! (Remember to post the photo with @uppercasemag #uppercaselove so that I can find it easily.) The image above, by Stephanie Brockway, caught my eye. I chuckled that her third most recent photo was of chickens (chickens are three degrees of separation from UPPERCASE?), so I put her latest three images here to show the sequence.
Ripe bananas and other outtakes from issue 22
Cover artist Shelley Davies was wonderful to work with. And she is always so generous with her creativity! Above's an "outtake" called Ripe Banana.
I asked Shelley to make the collage for the cover because of her affinity for working with paint swatches, her love of incorporating type into her work and her overall exuberance for bright colour. Here are some more colourful compositions from Shelley.
Here are some roughs that Shelley made when working on the cover. We decided that the radiating colour wheel was more dynamic, but these studies are nice on their own!

"Colour is life energy and one of the most powerful pure forces. It is the air that I breathe. How and why I choose certain colours is deeply personal for me, and I do it with a lot of purpose. I associate people with colours, I see experiences and moments through colours and I always dream of colours. This is why I need to create, make and design. Colour acts as the road map through my life and sets me apart, making who I am and how I see the world special."

Colours and Emotions with Maria Carluccio
In response to my weekly newsletter that I sent on Tuesday, Maria Carluccio shares this composition with us, made of chopped up old watercolour paintings. "It was so liberating!" she exclaims.
"Out with the old, in with the new—reusing old art to make new art."
"I highly recommend it as a fun way to explore colour connection," advises Maria. "After I pieced these together I started thinking about how colours remind me of emotions and feelings so I wrote in pencil the first thing that came to me when I thought of that swatch."
Maria is one of the 100 artists profiled in the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide included in the spring issue (#21). The Guide is also available as a free download when you sign up for my newsletter—I'll send inspiring content directly to your inbox once a week!

Checkers Double Jump - Annoy Your Opponent with the Checkers Double Jump
Jumping is one of only two moves that are possible in a game of checkers. While a single jump is indeed a good move and one that can effectively reduce the number of your opponent's checkers pieces when done repeatedly, a checkers double jump is even more impressive, and can have a particularly devastating effect on your opponent's playing strategy.
What is a Double Jump in Checkers?
A checkers double jump is simply defined as being a move where two jumps are made one after the other within a single turn. The end result of this single move is that a player can capture two of the opponent's checkers pieces at once. A checkers double jump is possible if, after making a single jump that results in a capture, the very same checkers piece is in a position to make yet another capture. This subsequent move can either be along the same diagonal direction or it may move off into another direction.
Keep in mind that if one or more jumps are possible after a player has made a single jump or capture, he or she must make those jumps all in the same turn.
Other Checkers Multiple Jumps
In the game of checkers, a double jump is only one kind of a multiple jump. All of these moves will result in the player being able to capture more than one of the opposing player's checkers pieces. Just as a move that captures two of your opponent's checkers pieces in a single turn is called a double jump, a move that captures three of the opposing player's checkers pieces in a single turn is called a triple jump, and so on.
Most variations of the game of checkers, allows players to execute double or triple jump moves. The only restriction to a multiple jump move is that you have to do it with the same checkers piece. Single or multiple jump moves with two different pieces are not allowed.
What do the Russians do?
In Russian Checkers, one of checkers variation of the game, checker kings are allowed to make jumps towards any square even if only one of the opponent's checkers pieces is captured, as long as the move is done in a diagonal direction. In this situation, the opponent's checkers piece does not necessarily have to be right next to king, and even the square where the king will end up does not have to be right next to the checkers piece that will be captured.

Oregon LDS stake includes special needs youths on pioneer trek
Kristen Moss
Just north of the Columbia River and surrounded by farmland and orchards, Bing Canyon, near Plymouth, Washington, is a place similar in terrain to parts of Wyoming's Mormon Trail. Sagebrush, canyons, prairie and a dusty trail greet handcart companies who travel up to 20 miles on a trail circling a grassy base camp known as Zion.
Members of the Eugene Oregon Santa Clara Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently trekked with about 200 people, including six special needs youths.
When leaders from the Santa Clara Stake began planning the stake's second trek, they wanted to include all youths, regardless of ability. Trek chairwoman Connie Hendrickson, who helped plan the stake's first trek four years earlier, said that from the beginning she had a "strong, abiding conviction that all youths from our stake should be enabled to come on trek. I believe that came from Heavenly Father."
With that fortitude and similar feelings from other trek committee members, preparations began.
In addition to attending mutual in their home wards of the LDS Church, special needs youths in the Santa Clara Stake have their own mutual program. Led by Scott and Donna Newman, who are called as Young Men and Young Women presidents, the youths are called trailblazers. Each trailblazer is assigned a buddy, usually a Laurel or priest from the stake, to attend the midweek youth activities with them. They meet once a week and enjoy activities just like any other mutual group.
Terri Johnson, a mother of five whose youngest daughter, 13-year-old Katie, has Down syndrome, was called as the special needs chairwoman on the trek committee. Her responsibilities included pairing trailblazers with families, assigning youth buddies, coordinating respite care along the trail and at base camp, and supervising extra adults assigned to aid trailblazers as needed. Johnson noted that in the planning sessions the adults really wanted the trek to be a "peer-led experience, peers helping peers."
"One of the biggest issues was respite care on the trail," Johnson said. "We knew that extended walking would be difficult for many of them and it would be necessary to provide a ride when they needed one as well as checkpoints where they could be picked up and brought back to base camp for larger rest periods."
The solution to taking breaks along the trail came in the form of two specially made chairs, which were crafted by a member of the stake. The chairs hold one person and are pushed and pulled like a handcart. Adults assigned to help along the trail started each day pulling the chairs along the trail, and as trailblazers became tired, two-way radios were used to bring a chair to the appropriate place.
Then youths were asked to volunteer to push and pull the chairs. If help was needed on the handcart where the youths stepped out, the adult shadows would step in. Not once was a call to help not answered. In fact, some youths lamented they never got a chance to help.
A lot of thought and prayer went into assigning trailblazers to families. Then, ma's and pa's were given instructions about the care and needs of the youths, and the trailblazers' youth buddies from mutual were assigned to the same family. The buddy's role was to help the trailblazer adapt and to help the other members of the family interact with and aid the trailblazer.
"I kind of forgot about the trailblazers' so-called disabilities," said Anna Jensen, a Laurel who worked with Chelsea Newman, a 26 year-old trailblazer. "To see her overcome so many obstacles in just a few days was amazing. She and the other trailblazers are my heroes."
