"During preseason this year, we knew our team was going to have a good season, and we knew we needed some great "swag" to wear. We went with both warmups and tshirts. The warmups have been great; they wick sweat and totally intimidate the opponents. We look so BA! The t-shirts are more fun. On the back they say the phrase "Ohana", which is our team theme. The idea is Ohana means family: if you don't let your family down, you don't let your teammates down, and then you don't let that ball drop the ground. It's been a great focus for our team so far.

CentOS 6.3 Spin Released Of RHEL 6.3
Published on 09 July 2012 09:24 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Red Hat
3 Comments
their worst delays hopefully an issue of the past
, CentOS 6.3 has been released today as the community alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 (RHEL 6.3) was originally released on the 21st of June, but the CentOS team is available with their updated distribution based upon these Enterprise Linux 6.3 packages.
As with upstream RHEL 6.3, CentOS 6.3 key features include switching to LibreOffice as the office/productivity suite on desktop installations, the Matahari API for operating system management has been deprecated, and there's new tools for moving physical and virtual machines into Virtual KVM machine instances. These new tools from Red Hat are virt-p2v and virt-v2v for physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual migration, respectively. Plus there's various other improvements that have come about in recent months since the
release of CentOS 6.2
last December.
The CentOS i386/x86_64 release announcement can be found on the
CentOS mailing list
the release notes
provide greater detail on this free re-spin of RHEL.
Meanwhile, Red Hat is also busy
working on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0
As far as some of the other RHEL-based distributions out there, Oracle has already released Oracle Linux 6.3 while Scientific Linux 6.3 is still a few weeks out.

The Image features a striking, young Yuma Warrior wearing only a loin cloth and holding a large bow and a number of arrows in his left hand. His hair is quite long and appears to be similar to the modern "dreadlocks" style. This Yuma Brave presents a proud and obviously well conditioned and musculated figure. The Cabinet Card offered here is among the earliest examples of the Photographs produced by Bonine for sale to the public.
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Elias Bonine was one of three brothers, all of whom were photographers. Moving to California in 1876, he traveled throughout the state and photographed in remote areas, using his tent as both home and darkroom. He subsequently settled in Lamanda Park, near Pasadena.
Bonine was one of the most prolific photographers of Native American portraits in the Cabinet Card format. Unlike the earlier work of government survey photographers or of early anthropologists who used photography as field research, Bonine's images were made for public audience increasingly enthralled by native subjects. His several trips to Arizona in the 1870s and 1880s produced hundreds of portraits of members of the Yuman tribes, including Maricopas.
The Quechan (or Yuma as they were more popularly known) were a favorite subject of Elias A. Bonine (1843-1916), a photographer from Pasadena, California. Although the Yuma were generally regarded as a peaceful people, they were at the same time ferocious warriors. The Quechan / Yuma were used in the Apache and Geronimo Campaign by General Crook, as they were able to run long distances and live off the little food and water that the desert had to offer.
This rare and wonderful, Native American Indian, Boudoir / Oversize Cabinet Card Photograph is in very good to excellent condition. The Photograph exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich, warm tonality. The Photograph and the card mount are both clean and crisp with some light edge wear at the corners of the mount only.
A very rare and very beautiful, 1870's, Oversize Albumen Cabinet Card Photo of a proud and hardy, Native American Yuma Indian Brave by Elias A. Bonine and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
Be sure to check out this seller's other sales for a 2 other outstanding, 1870's Western Americana and Native American Yuma Indian Cabinet Card Photographs by Bonine from this same series which are also being offered for sale this week on !!

Electronic Arts Combatting Anti-LGBT Representation in Gaming Community
March 4, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
This Thursday, gaming juggernaut Electronic Arts (EA) will host LGBT leaders, including HRC Family Project Director Ellen Kahn, Workplace Project Deputy Director Deena Fidas and Communications Director Michael Cole-Schwartz, in New York City a discussion on a full spectrum of LGBT issues in gaming.
The half-day event in New York City will focus on the persistent anti-LGBT representation and commentary in the video gaming community and how to address the issue.
University of Illinois research found 87 percent of participants saw the phrase "that's so gay" used in the gaming community and 26 percent of respondents said there was stereotypical representations of gay characters in video games.
For years, EA has stood as a leading advocate for the LGBT community.
Last year, the company was named one of the Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality, and just one month ago joined HRC's Business Coalition for DOMA Repeal.
Join HRC and EA in its continued effort to end hate and homophobia in videogames. Follow @EAFullSpectrum on Twitter and let EA know you agree #H8IsNotAGame.
Interested in attending? Tweet to @EAFullSpectrum to RSVP.

The present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for evaluating the position of a disturbance, in particular using a waveguide having a plurality of overlap regions.
It is known to use a waveguide to detect a disturbance. However, such known techniques are not always suitable in situations where it is important to detect the position of a disturbance with a high spatial resolution, in particular when the area within which the disturbance should be detectable is a large area.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a position sensor including: an optical waveguide; a transmission stage for launching a sensing signal into the waveguide; a receiving stage arranged to receive a returned sensing signal, which returned sensing signal is a time distributed signal derived from backscattered components of the sensing signal, the waveguide being arranged along a path having a plurality of overlap regions such that a disturbance in an overlap region causes a first disturbance feature and a second disturbance feature in the returned sensing signal; and, monitoring means for monitoring the returned signal, such that a respective time of return can be associated with the first disturbance feature and with the second disturbance feature.
From the respective return times associated with the first and second disturbance features, the overlap region from which the disturbance originate can be identified more accurately than by using the return time of the first or the second disturbance only.
The disturbance features may be distinguished visually and their retune times noted, for example from a trace signal plotted as a function of time on a display. From the return times, a user may then perform a computation to determine in which overlap region the disturbance has occurred. Alternatively, an electronic or optoelectronic circuit may be used to record the respective return times and to determine, from the return times, the origin of the disturbance. One example of a disturbance feature may be a change in the amplitude of the returned signal, for example a step change with respect to time.
The waveguide will preferably be sensitive to disturbances within a sensing region around the waveguide, the extent or width of the sensing region being dependent on the sensitivity of the position sensor. The overlap regions will then preferably be determined by the area of overlap between, on the one hand, the sensing region of one portion of the waveguide and, on the other hand, the sensing region of another portion of the waveguide. The different waveguide portions will preferably intersect or otherwise overlap in an overlap region. However, the different waveguide portions need not themselves overlap, but may instead come sufficiently close to one another such that their respective sensing regions overlap in an overlap region.
Preferably, the path includes: a plurality of first sensing portions; a plurality of second sensing portions; and a plurality of respective self-crossing points, where each first sensing portion overlaps with each second sensing portion. The first sensing portions will preferably generally extend side by side in a first direction. Likewise, preferably, the second sensing portions will generally extending side by side in a second direction.
Preferably the first and second sensing portions will be arranged in generally straight lines. However, the sensing portions may follow a meandering or curved path, the first and second directions being determined by the respective start and end locations of each sensing portion. In one embodiment, the respective directions of the first and second sensing portions will be substantially orthogonal to one another. However, the angle between the direction of first and second sensing portions may be less than 90 degrees, for example about 30 degrees.
The self-crossing points may be disposed as a two dimensional array or along a one dimensional path, which path may or may not be a straight path. The array may be a regular array where the self-crossing points occur at regular intervals along the fibre path or at regular geographical intervals. If the array is a two dimensional regular array, the intervals in a first direction may be different to those in a second direction. However, for simplicity and to make it easier to determine the spatial location of a disturbance, the intervals will preferably be equal in both directions.
The sensing signals will normally have a resolution time associated therewith, which, if the signals are pulses, will be the duration of a pulse. A path resolution length can be associated with the resolution time, this being the spatial extend of the pulses as the pulses travel along the waveguide. Preferably, at least some neighbouring self-crossing points will be connected together by a plurality of paths, for example both a short path and a long path. The long path between at least some of the neighbouring self-crossing points will preferably be longer or substantially equal to the path resolution length, to more easily allow neighbouring self crossing points to be resolved. Preferably, the geographical separation of at least some of the neighbouring points will be less than the path resolution length, allowing the disturbances to be spatially resolved on a length scale that is less than the path resolution length. Yet more preferably, to reduce the length of waveguide required, the short path between at least some of the neighbouring self-crossing points will itself be less than the path resolution length.
The long portion between neighbouring self-crossing points situated near the centre of the array is likely to be longer that that between neighbouring self-crossing points near the array edge. For some neighbouring self-crossing points towards an edge of the array, the long path could even be less that the path resolution length, making such neighbouring points difficult to resolve. To alleviate this situation, a respective extension stage may be provided between adjacent first sensing portions and/or between adjacent second sensing portions. Such an extension stage will extend the length of the long path length. In one embodiment, the extension stages are each formed by a respective coiled portion of waveguide. Preferably, the extension stages will each be longer than the path resolution length, to make it easier for self-crossing points near or on the edge of the array to be resolved. However, in some situation, in may not matter that the self-crossing points on the edge of the array are not resolvable, in which case the extension stage may have a path length that is less than the path resolution length.
Each extension stage will preferably be formed from an extension portion of waveguide, the extension portion being integrally formed with the adjacent waveguide sensing portions. In one embodiment, each of at least the first sensing portions will be integrally formed, preferably with the extension portions if such extension portions are included. Preferably, the first and second sensing portions will be formed from a continuous waveguide.
Each extension stage may be protected from disturbances, so that detected disturbances can more clearly be associated with a self-crossing point. For example, if the waveguide is buried underground so as to extend across a sensing zone in which disturbances are to be located, each extension stage may be located outside the sensing zone where a disturbance is unlikely to occur, and/or may be shielded from disturbances by a protective regions, such as a region formed from a concrete material or other hard material. Alternatively, the extension stages may be used to detect the presence of an entity entering the sensing zone. Since the extension stages will each be formed from a coil of fibre, the extension stages are likely to be more particularly sensitive.
Preferably, the sensing signal will be formed as a pair of signal copies from an optical source. A dynamic or other time-varying physical disturbance is likely to produced a strain or an elastic wave in the optical medium of the waveguide, thereby changing the relative phase of the signal copies travelling through the disturbance. Preferably, the signal copies of a given pair will be launched onto the waveguide with a temporal offset to one another, such that there is a leading copy and a trailing copy. As a result, the signal copies of a pair are likely to be differently affected by a disturbance. The temporal offset may be undone upon the return of the signal copies, preferably by delaying the leading copy relative to the trailing copy. Both copies of a given pair can then be combined substantially in step with one another, so as to form the returned sensing signal. Because the signal copies are combined, any modification of at least one of these copies is likely to produce a change in the returned signal, thereby facilitating the detection of a disturbance.
A dynamic disturbance may be stationary, that is, located at a stationary point. Alternatively, the dynamic disturbance may be a moving disturbance, such as that produced by a person, vehicle or other entity moving along a surface.
The source will preferably be configured to transmit optical pulses, each pulse giving rise to a pair of pulse copies. The pulses will preferably be transmitted in a repeat fashion, at time intervals. The time intervals will preferably be chosen in dependence on the total path length of the waveguide, such that the round trip time to the far end of the waveguide is less than the time intervals between signals. Each pulse may this give rise to a an associated time-distributed return signal, the duration of the return signal being commensurate with (twice) the transit time of a pulse along the waveguide path. To reduce the risk that the return signal from different pulses will overlap, the pulses will preferably be transmitted at time intervals, the duration of the intervals being longer than or substantially equal to the transit time of the pulses along the path, yet more preferably longer than or substantially equal to twice the transit time.
Preferably, the sensing signal will be returned predominantly by a process of Rayleigh backscattering. Being a distributed backscattering process, the Rayleigh backscattering will cause the sensing signal to be returned progressively as the signal propagates along the waveguide. However, other distributed backscattering processes due to the properties of the light guiding medium along (which properties are present in a substantially continuous fashion along the length of the waveguide) may also contribute to the return signal, since such processes will also normally give rise to a returned signal that is distributed over time.
The output signals from the source will preferably have an irregular component, in which case the irregular component may be common to each of the signal copies of a pair. Other characteristics of the signal need not be the same in each signal copy: for example, the signal copies may have different amplitudes. The irregular component will preferably be random, or pseudo random (by pseudo random, it is meant that although in theory a component is possible to predict, the time or processing power required to do this will make it in practice impossible to predict). If the output signal has a waveform, the irregular component may be provided by the phase of the waveform if the waveform has randomly occurring phase changes. The waveform may conveniently be provided by an optical source having a short coherence time, preferably less than 10 pico seconds or even less than 1 pico second. The returned signal will preferably be an interference signal resulting from the interference or mixing of two waveforms.
A copying stage may be provided to copy the output from the source, and a combination stage for combining returned signal copies. In a preferred embodiment, the copying stage and the combination stage will be provided by a common optical junction. In particular, an interferometer stage, such as an un-balanced Mach Zehnder interferometer may be provided. In this preferred embodiment, the output from the optical source is fed to the interferometer, where the signal is copied, one copy being channeled to one path of the interferometer, the transit time associated with each path being different, such that a relative or differential delay results between the time at which the signal copies are transmitted from the interferometer stage. The same interferometer stage can then be employed to re-align the returned signal copies in a particularly convenient manner, since the relative delay imposed in the outbound direction will be the same as the relative delay imposed in the return direction, this being in each case determined by the difference in the transit times of the two paths.
The differential delay will preferably be chosen in dependence at least in part on the average coherence time of the source. The differential delay will preferably be much longer than the coherence time. Preferably, the ratio of the differential delay to the coherence time will be greater or equal to 102 or 103. The differential delay will preferably be at least 50 micro seconds, as it has been discovered that a long differently delay is beneficial in the detection the low frequencies typically associated with acoustic vibrations due to mechanical disturbances brought about my the movement of persons of vehicles along the ground surface. However, detection of low frequency disturbances can be improved yet further with a differential offset time of at least 75 micro seconds, or even 100 micro seconds (100 micro seconds corresponding to a distance of around 20 km for the differential path length of the interferometer if the interferometer legs are formed by silica glass single mode optical fibre).
The steps of copying output signals and transmitting the signals will preferably be carried out at a first location, a disturbance remaining detectable at distance of at least 1 km or even at least 10 km from the first location. The path length of the waveguide of the position sensor may be 100 km or more, allowing areas on the scale of at least several square km to be sensed, with the sensing points being placed reasonably close to one another.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided method of sensing position, including the steps of: (i) transmitting a sensing signal along a waveguide; (ii) monitoring a returned sensing signal, the returned sensing signal being derived from components of the sensing signal that are returned by a process of distributed backscattering as the sensing signal propagates along the waveguide, wherein the waveguide is arranged along a path having a plurality of overlap regions such that a disturbance in an overlap region causes a first disturbance feature and a second disturbance feature in the returned sensing signal, which first and second disturbance features correspond to respective spaced apart positions along the fibre path; and, (iii) using a temporal characteristic in the first and second disturbance features to determine which of the overlap regions the disturbance originates from.
The returned signals will preferably be monitored as a function of the elapsed time from a reference time, which reference time will be related to the time at which the pulse is generated. A temporal characteristic in the returned signal may be a return time associated with the disturbance feature, in particular the arrival time of returned signal copies (once combined) responsible for a disturbance feature. Thus the return time may be the round-trip time (subject to a possible offset) for light propagating to and from the position of the physical disturbance.
The present invention will now be described in further detail below, by way of example only, with reference to the following drawing in which:
In general terms, the monitoring station 12 is arranged to transmit sensing pulses onto the fibre 16, which sensing signals will suffer a phase change or other modulation by the dynamic disturbance. Components of the sensing pulses are returned by a process of Rayleigh backscattering along the fibre, such that for each pulse produced by the source, the returned signal is distributed over a time corresponding to the transit time of the pulse copies along the fibre.
Backscattered components returned to the monitoring station 12 are processed to distinguish the modulation introduced by the dynamic disturbance. The position of the disturbance along the fibre path can be determined from the time of return of modulated backscattered components, since backscattered components returned from different regions of the fibre arrive at the monitoring station 12 at different times. This can conveniently be achieved by viewing the returned signal as a function of time, in the manner of a trace on a display, since the modulation produced by a disturbance will normally be distinguishable as a step change or other disturbance signal in the trace.
However, the finite duration of the pulses from the source can result in an uncertainty as to the precise position of the disturbance along a fibre. In the present invention, the risk of such an uncertainty is reduced by the presence of the self crossing point in each sensing area. Due to the self crossing points, a disturbance in a sensing area will disturb the fibre at a plurality of positions along the fibre path, here two positions, giving rise to two time-separated disturbance signals at the monitoring station. As will be explained in more detail below, these two time separated signals can be used to more accurately determine which sensing area is responsible for a disturbance.
Returning to
Each sensing area 204 extends around each respective self-crossing point, indicated in
In the example of
These considerations can be understood more clearly with reference to
Clearly, in the two dimensional array of
To allow even the self-crossing points along an edge to be resolvable, an additional respective extension portion 210 may be introduced between adjacent longitudinal portions, and between adjacent lateral portions, as indicated in
The path length of each extension portion will be greater than the path resolution length L, which is in turn determined by the pulse duration. For a pulse duration of 1 micro second, the resolution length will be about 200 meters, assuming light travels along the (single mode) fibre at a speed of 2�10 E8 meters per second (at a typical wavelength of 1440 nano meters). The length of each extension portion will thus be about 200 meter or more. For a pulse duration of 0.5 micro seconds, the additional delay length need only be about 100 meters or more.
The spatial resolution of the array will depend at least in part on the geographical separation between the self-crossing points. Clearly, the self crossing arrangement will be of particular benefit when the path resolution length L is greater than the spatial separation D or the shortest path length between self crossing points, since path distances which would not otherwise be resolvable will become resolvable due to the presence of the self-crossing points. Although coiled extension portions of fibre may be provided between self-crossing points, even away from the array edges, these will not normally be necessary.
By reducing the separation D between self-crossing points, the spatial resolution of the array will generally be increased. However, if the self-crossing points are too close, a sensing area of one self-crossing point will overlap with the sensing area from an adjacent self-crossing point. The extent of a sensing area will depend on several factors, including: the sensitivity with which disturbances can be detected; the distance of the array from the point or plane where disturbances are generated; the nature or the configuration of the medium between a disturbance point and the array; and, the magnitude or strength of the disturbances. Normally, the extent of the sensing area will be determined by trial and error for the particular environment in which the array is to be used.
The array may be located beneath the ground surface, so as to detect the position of a person, vehicle, object or other entity moving along the surface. The array will be arranged such that the acoustic vibrations generated by the movement will impinge upon the fibre at a self crossing point, the sensing areas of adjacent self-crossing points being chosen such that the sensing areas border one another, being sufficiently close to reduce the area not covered by a sensing area, but not so close that sensing areas significantly overlap. From a knowledge of the geographical configuration of the fibre path and identity of the self-crossing point at which a disturbance has been detected, it will be possible to infer the position of the moving entity. Other configurations for monitoring or determining the position of moving entities are possible: for example, the array may be located in a fluid medium to detect the position of an entity moving through the medium.
The array may be located in a sensing zone, to detect the position of a disturbance within the zone, typically over 1 or over 10 square km. The zone may be conceptually divided into sensing cells, each cell including a self-crossing point (the sensing cells are delineated in
If the dimensions of the sensing cells in the X and Y directions is r, and the length of each extension coil is R, then the total length of fibre required is given by [R�(a+b−1)+2�a�b�r] where a and b are the number of square cells in the directions X and Y. This compares to [R�a�b+r�(a+b−1)] for a non-crossover grid where a coil of length R is required in each grid cell. For example, a 50�50�1 m grid cell pattern, with would require 9.95 km of fibre to wire up using this pattern, compared to over 125 km for the non-cross-over design, assuming R=50 m.
The monitoring station 12 is shown in greater detail in
Thus, for each pulse provided by the optical source 18, that pulse is copied such that there is a first copy and a second copy, the first and second copies being in this example duplicates of one another. One copy travels along the first path 24 whilst the other copy travels along the second path 26. The second coupling stage 30 is coupled to an output 35 of the interferometer, which output is connected to the fibre 16. The second coupling stage 30 acts as a combiner for light travelling in the outbound direction, channeling light from the first and second paths to the interferometer output 35. The first path of the interferometer has a delay stage 34 for increasing the transit time of light travelling therealong between the first and second coupling stages 28,30, the transit time for light travelling between the coupling stages 28,30 being greater along the first path 24 than along the second path 26. Thus, for each pulse produced by the optical source, the interferometer 20 serves to delay one of the pulse copies relative to the other pulse copy by a delay time D, pulse copies being transmitted onto the optical fibre network 16 at different times to one another.
For signals travelling in the return direction, the second coupling stage 30 act as a power splitter, in a similar fashion to the action of the first coupling stage 28 on light in the forward direction (from the optical source 18). In this way, the intensity of return signals is split at the second coupling stage 30, one portion being channeled along the first path 24, whilst the other portion is channeled along the second path 26. The first coupling stage 28 then serves to combine light from the first and second paths in the return direction, channeling the combined light as an interference (combination) signal to a signal processing system 29 coupled to an output of the first coupling stage 28.
The signal processing system includes: a photo-receiver 51 coupled to the first coupling stage 28 for converting optical signals into electrical signals; a filter 52 for receiving electrical signals from the photo-receiver 51 and filtering the electrical signals; a first signal processing unit 54 for processing the filtered electrical signals; and an optional further processing unit 540 for performing more detailed processing of the electrical signals. The filter 52 bandwidth (about 1 MHz) is matched to the expected signal bandwidth in order to minimise extraneous noise.
The photo receiver 51 is shown in more detail in
The radiation produced by the optical source may be unpolarised, or alternatively a de-polarising unit 43 may be provided between the light source and the interferometer, for depolarising the light before the light is injected into the interferometer (the de-polarising unit may be for example, a Fibre Lyot de-polariser). A polarisation controller or de-polariser 49 may be provided in one of the paths of the interferometer, here, the first path, so that the polarisation of light from the first path combining in the return direction at the first coupler 28 is at least partially aligned with that of the light from the other path. A de-polariser also has the advantage of effectively scrambling any polarisation structure in the returning backscatter signal making it much easier to detect loss defects.
Typically, the source will operate at a wavelength of between 1 micron and 2 microns, preferably around 1.3 or 1.55 microns, in order to efficiently make use of standard telecommunications optical fibre, such fibre being configured to support single mode transmission at this wavelength. Typically, the fibre will have a single core of a diameter which is around 9 or 10 microns.
The operation of the monitoring station 12 can best be understood by considering return components of outbound pulse copies returned from a particular point on a fibre. For each pulse generated by the source 18, there will be four resulting signals: a non-retarded signal S0 which has traveled along the second path 26 of the interferometer 20 in both the forward and reverse directions: a first retarded signal S1 delayed by a delay D in the forward direction (but not the reverse direction): a second retarded signal S2 retarded by the delay D in the reverse direction (but nor the forward direction): and, a twice-retarded signal S3 retarded by a delay 2D, signal S3 being retarded in each of the forward and reverse directions.
The first and second retarded signals S1, S2 which are retarded in one direction only will be returned to the first coupling stage 28 at the same time. In the absence of any disturbance in the fibre 16, these signals are copies of one another (i.e. have the same phase or phase changes) and the signals will interfere or otherwise combine constructively at the first coupling stage 28. However, a phase change on light travelling through the fibre will normally be effected by a physical disturbance. This is because a physical disturbance (caused for example by a displacement, an acoustic or ultrasound wave or other vibration) is likely to result in a change in the transmission properties of an optical fibre or other optical link. In particular, a physical disturbance such as that cause by a shock is likely to result in a time varying strain which will change the optical path length in the strained region of the light-carrying medium of the fibre (normally the silica glass core of the fibre), either through a change in the refractive index, polarisation, or a change in the physical length, or a combination of these. As a result of a time-varying disturbance, one of the pair of the signals S1, S2 will be modified relative to the other of the pair. This will result in a change in the interference signal from the first coupling stage. In particular, a relative phase change in the signals S1, S2 will result in an amplitude change of the interference signal at an output of the first coupling stage.
In order to display the interference signal as function of time in the manner of a trace, the processing unit 54 includes a processor/memory circuit 55. The processor/memory circuit is connected to the driver 118 of the optical source 18, for accessing the electrical pulse signals which drive the source 18. The processor/memory circuit includes timer means, here a timer unit 57, which indicates the elapsed time after the transmission of each pulse from the source, the timer unit being configured to reset using the pulse signals when a new optical pulse is launched. The processor/memory circuit 55 is connected to the bandpass amplifier 51 so as to received the interference signal in the electrical domain, and to store the signal from each pulse as a function of elapsed time from the generation of the pulse. To store the interference signal as a function of time, the processor/memory circuit 55 is configured to sample the interference signal at intervals, and to store each sample with the associated return time. The stored interference signal can then be viewed on a viewing device 101. However, the interference signal may be stored temporarily, for example through the remnance of a cathode display. With reference to
Trace A of
After a time t1, returned backscattered components will have originated from pulses which have traveled beyond the position X. When the pulse copies or the backscattered components pass through position X, the phase of the backscattered components resulting from the pulse copies will be affected by the disturbance. Because the disturbance changes with time, the relative phase of the backscattered components of a given pair of pulse will be changed, resulting in a sharp change in the interference signal at the time t1. Likewise, returned components from the pulses which have traveled beyond X will also be affected. Hence the trace remains shifted after time t1 in a step-like fashion. Since the time t1 corresponds to the round trip time to the first sensing location and back, the distance along the fibre path of the point X can be inferred from the value of t1 (or the value t1 relative to a reference time which includes an offset, for example the offset due to the delay line 34 of the interferometer).
The pulses from the source will be transmitted in a repetitive fashion, preferably every 1 ms, the duration of each pulse being 1 μs. Alternatively, for a higher resolution, the pulses may be 0.5 μs long.
The delay line will preferably be at least 20 km since for shorter length and when a disturbance is small (i.e., such that the fibre phase changes respond linearly), the interferometer system becomes less sensitive when the disturbance frequency is low. With a delay line of about 20 km (which corresponds to a delay of about 100 μs), the pulse (signal) copies will be spatially distinct as they travel along the fibre, since the pulses are typically of 1 μs duration, sent every 1 ms. However, for longer pulses, or a shorter delay, signal copies of a given pair may overlie one another (the division between signals may be conceptual: for example, for a continuous signal, the signals would not each be a discrete entities, since consecutive signals will be joined seamlessly as a continuous waveform).
In one embodiment, the occurrence of a disturbance is first detected using a continuous optical signal, reflected from a mirrored end surface 32 of the fibre. Essentially, the apparatus of
In general terms, the further signal processing unit 540 is configured to process the interference signal originating from a first location using the interference originating from a second location, the second location being positioned upstream of (that is, nearer the monitoring station than) the first location. In practise, this is done by sampling the return signal at a first time and at a second time, and evaluating the difference between the two sampled signals. This approach recognises that the interference signal from the first location may include contributions from the second location, since the pulses (and returned components thereof will pass through the first location to reach the second location.
The further signal processing unit 540 includes a sampling unit 542, here an analogue differential sample and hold circuit, which circuit is connected to the filter 52 at an input 543. The sampling unit 542 is configured to sample the incoming signals from the MZ coupler 28, in particular from the filter 52 which in turn receives signals from the photo receiver 51. The sampling unit 542 includes: a sampling stage 544 configured to sample the incoming signals at spaced apart time positions; and alignment stage 546 for aligning the signals previously sampled at spaced apart positions; and, a comparison stage 548 for comparing the re-aligned signals, in particular for evaluating the difference between the signals. Signals from the comparison stage 548 are passed to a window detector circuit 550, configured to generate an output at a signal output 552, in particular if the output signal from the comparison stage 548 departs from a centre value by more than a threshold value.
A timing control circuit 560 is included for providing trigger signals 561 for triggering the driver unit of the optical source 18 such that the source emits a pulse in response to each trigger signal. The timing control circuit 560 also generates clock pulses 562 which clock pulses control the operation of the sampling unit, in particular the sampling stage 544 and 546. The trigger signals 561 and the clock pulses 562 are generated by a common timing source 564, which may for example be a clock circuit. The trigger signals 561 may be tapped at a trigger output 566 and are fed to the trigger of an oscilloscope 568. The signal output 552 can then be fed to a signal input of the oscilloscope 568, which is preferably a storage oscilloscope, and viewed on a display 570. A raster circuit 572 a may be provided to generate a raster signal which can be fed to the oscilloscope for generating a two-dimensional display. Further gates 575 and 577 are included in the timing control circuit as indicated in
The clock pulses in the present example are at a frequency of 0.5 MHz and are of the alternating phase type, that is, a wave train is generated with one phase 562 a, and another train is generated at a phase shift of 180 degrees. The timing control circuit is configured such that the clock phase alternates on every trigger pulse to the optical source 18, and also synchronises the raster generator for generating the two-dimensional display. The two-dimensional representation will allow the time-evolution of the backscatter signal from each position in the fibre to be observed on the display 570 of the storage oscilloscope 568. The digital and analogue electronics used separate, regulated and de-coupled power supplies (in
In more detail, the sampling unit 542 includes a copying stage 572, which could be a simple �T� connector, for generating copies of the input signal (that is, the OTDR signal or a signal equivalent to the interference signal in the electrical domain). The sampling stage 544 has two sampling amplifiers A, B, each of which are triggered to sample by a respective pulse unit 574, 576, the pulse units being fed with clock pulses from the timing control circuit 560. The copies A and B each respectively enter amplifiers A, B, where respective discreet-time pulse amplitude copies are generated. The pulse units 574, 576 are arranged such that the sampling instance of the two copies (A and B) is offset by a range resolution interval, here one microsecond. The signals from sampling amplifiers A, B are then passed respectively to further sampling amplifiers A′ and B′ of the alignment stage 546, where these samples are then re-sampled.
The further sampling amplifiers A′, B′ or equivalently sampling gates are triggered by respective pulse units 578, 579 (the pulse units 578, 579 being driven by clock pulses from the timing control unit 560). The further amplifiers A′, B′ are operated in such a way (through the timing of the pulse units 578, 579) that the re-sampled signals of the A copy precede the sampled signals of the B copy: this means that the A samples originate from a range resolution cell which immediately precedes that of the B signal. The result of this re-sampling strategy is that sampling points �walk� along the fibre link 16 (separated by a distance corresponding to one microsecond), but with a step size of two microseconds (assuming the pulse initially transmitted by the optical source onto the fibre link 16 are one microsecond in duration).
The comparison stage 548 includes a difference amplifier 549 for evaluating the difference between the twice sampled signals A and B: that is, the output of the difference amplifier gives an output related to A-B. Because the A and B traces are re-aligned before being compared, it may be considered that the a values related to slope or gradient of the time-dependence of the signals is obtained. Effectively, the time-dependent sampled signals are differentiated: that is the difference between neighbouring samples is evaluated (although the samples need not necessarily be immediately neighbouring samples).
The photo receiver 51 is shown in more detail in
It as thus be seen that in present embodiments, an optical time domain reflectometry technique is used in which a series of low coherence test pulses is launched into an the optical link, and the backscattered return signal is monitored. The test pulses pass through an unbalanced Mach Zhender interferometer with the result that for each test pulse, a pair of time-displaced pulse copies is launched onto the link. The backscattered signal is passed through the same interferometer, which causes the pulse copes of each pair to become realigned and to interfere with one another. A time-varying disturbance is likely to affect each pulse copy of a pair differently. As a result, an abnormality such as a step is likely occur in the backscattered signal. From the time position of an abnormality, the distance of the disturbance responsible along the fibre path is estimated. In particular, by providing self-crossing points, limitations due to the resolution length along the path of the fibre can be alleviated.

Usher - Climax (Clinton Sparks Remix)
Artist: Usher
Featuring: Clinton Sparks
Producer: Clinton Sparks
Album: Looking 4 Myself
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 12 votes )
Originally released to rave Booth reviews back in February, the lead single off Usher's seventh studio album has received the remix treatment courtesy of DJ/producer Clinton Sparks. On this rendition of Climax, Diplo's synth-driven beat gets switched out in favor of a club-ready groove that builds from pop-rock verses to a white-knuckle four-on-the-floor chorus. Better than the original? Debatre away—and keep it locked for more fresh tunes leading up to the arrival of Usher's Looking for Myself EP this June.

Hi: 7° Lo:-4°
By Gary Smee Thursday 24 January 2013 Updated: 30/01 12:56
PERSHORE Leisure Centre has been recognised for the quality of its services by industry experts.
The centre in King Georges Way passed the tough assessment from Sport England's leading national quality scheme, Quest.
Quest is the most well known improvement programme within the leisure industry and its rigorous assessments are known to challenge the very best leisure centres in the UK.
In order to achieve Quest Plus, Pershore Leisure Centre went through a two year process, with a mystery visit and a two day assessment in the first year, and a second mystery visit and one day assessment in the second year.
The mystery visit in year two is known to be particularly challenging as the mystery visitor does not work in the leisure industry.
Kay McBride, centre manager, said: "This is a fantastic achievement and a real team effort.
"Quest is much more than a tick box exercise; it is an ongoing programme to improve our facility for both staff and customers, and a great way to demonstrate our achievements."
Caroline Constantine, Quest's operations director, added: "Quest Plus is a step up from the entry level Quest and as such it is a more demanding process.
"By meeting Quest's high standards Pershore Leisure Centre has shown its commitment to providing quality facilities and service to its customers.
"In these tough economic times it is more important than ever that local leisure facilities can demonstrate their value, and the Quest process helps them do just that."

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Mar 14, 2013 - 5:57 pm
Arizona Cardinals sign LB Jasper Brinkley
The Arizona Cardinals added another to their 2013 free agent haul, agreeing to a two-year contract with linebacker Jasper Brinkley.
Brinkley, 27, had played his entire three-year career for the Minnesota Vikings.
A first-time starter in 2012, Brinkley tallied a career-high 117 tackles to go along with two sacks. A middle linebacker, he would slide in next to Daryl Washington if he is a starter.
The 6-foot-1, 252 pound player was a fifth-round pick of the Vikings in 2009 out of South Carolina. He has played in 48 career games -- with 19 starts -- and has racked up 155 tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles and four passes defensed.
