In the representation of X-ray images, an atomic number characteristic for an X-rayed sub-object (2, 3, 4) is determined from X-ray beams having different energies and the absorption values determined in that process, to which specific colors and shades are assigned. The representation of the color intensity is influenced so that, when representing objects (3, 4) having the same X-ray absorption on a monitor (8), the colors appear equally bright to the viewer. To that end, while the pre-set color for the objects (3, 4) is maintained, the brightness of the different colors is adjusted to an equal or approximately equal brightness, taking into account the spectral sensitivity of the human eye.
1. A method for adjusting colors of an image, in particular of an X-ray image in which an object having sub-objects shown in different colors is depicted, comprising the steps of:
determining an X-ray absorption attribute of a plurality of the sub-objects;
assigning a specific color to each of the plurality of sub-objects on the basis of an average atomic number;
adjusting a brightness level of one of the specific colors by adjusting each pixel thereof with a determined color proportion of at least one of red, green or blue, whereby the adjustment of the brightness level takes into consideration the sensitivity of the human eye; and
displaying at least the plurality of sub-objects having the same X-ray absorption attributes on a monitor, whereby adjustment of the brightness level of one of the specific colors causes the human eye to view at least the plurality of sub-objects as having equal brightness levels,
wherein the brightness level of at least one of the specific colors, which is assigned to a sub-object, is adjusted if the X-ray absorption attribute associated with the sub-object is substantially equal to the X-ray absorption attribute of another sub-object.

10. The method according to
This application claims priority based on German application 199 43 183.3, filed Sep. 9, 1999 and the contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods for adjusting color in an image, more particularly, to adjusting color in an X-ray image.
2. Background Art
In the radioscopy of objects, sub-objects are represented by varying brightness levels in accordance with their X-ray absorption (grayscale image). In films, high-absorbing objects/sub-objects are represented as light images, while low-absorbing objects/sub-objects produce significant darkening and are therefore represented as darker images. In electronic image processing, using reverse imaging is also customary, i.e. light grayscale values are used for objects/sub-objects having weak X-ray absorption.
The objects/sub-objects may be X-rayed using varied energy levels to provide improved identification of the material(s) that the objects/sub-objects are made from. The type materials of the X-rayed objects or sub-objects may be determined from absorption values determinable at the different energy levels.
For visual determination of the objects'/sub-objects' materials, the materials of the objects/sub-objects may be represented by different colors. For example, a color is assigned to an average atomic number that defines a specific material type. This produces a so-called false-color-image for the human eye, made up of two specific types of information: absorption and material.
Accordingly, if two materials having identical absorption (brightness), but are made from different materials (color), are compared to this false-color-image, the two material appear to have different brightness levels to the human eye, since the human eye has different sensitivity to different colors. Therefore, a green object is perceived to be much brighter than a blue object. This results in the conclusion that the blue object is subject to a higher absorption than the green one, because the human eye is especially sensitive to green, and on the contrary, is insensitive to blue. This leads to unpleasant visual strain for a person viewing the image and to poor discernability of objects represented by darker colors. The latter is particularly important when analyzing an X-ray image, because here indeed is where superimposed sub-objects in the image must be discernable as shadings lying one behind another.
European patent documents EP 0 523 898 B1, EP 0 584 690 B1, and EP 0 758 514 B disclose devices and processes that improve color images in the television and video sector, taking into account the three primary colors�red, green, and blue�according to the NTSC (National Television System Committee) standard.
It is an object of the invention to regenerate and optimize a color image viewed by the human eye, specifically an X-ray image, so that the observer is subjected to less visual strain and the discernability of sub-objects is improved.
This and other objects of the present invention are achieved by providing a method for adjusting colors of an image, in particular of an X-ray image, in which an object having sub-objects shown in different colors is depicted. The steps of the method include determining an absorption attribute of a plurality of the sub-objects, assigning a specific color to each of the plurality of sub-objects having a same absorption attribute, each specific colors being different from each other, adjusting a brightness level of one of the specific colors by adjusting each pixel thereof with a determined color proportion of at least one of red, green or blue, whereby the adjustment of the brightness level takes into consideration the sensitivity of the human eye, and displaying at least the plurality of sub-objects having the same absorption attributes on a monitor, whereby adjustment of the brightness level of one of the specific colors causes the human eye to view at least the plurality of sub-objects as having equal brightness levels.
The present invention is based on the idea of adapting the representation of different colors to the viewing behavior of the human eye, so that the different colors at the same X-ray absorption are represented with the same degree of brightness to the human eye. The same degree of brightness thus means that after adapting the colors to the spectral sensitivity curve of the eye, the observer has the impression that the colors are equally bright.
In addition, it is also advantageous that smaller areas having a lower degree of brightness are also quickly discerned by the viewer, since they are more quickly perceived by the human eye after the brightness is adjusted.
Red, Green and Blue (RGB) values calculated for the adaptation are stored in support tables of a computer or processor, which is accessed for representation of colors on a display device or monitor. Therefore, a brightness specification and a present color value are input into the computer, as a result of which the RGB values previously calculated and stored for the input brightness and special color value are taken from the support tables.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the sprit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not imitative of the present invention, and wherein:
Referring to
The sub-object 2, for example, is made of an organic material (clothing or the like) having an average thickness. The sub-object 3, for example, is made of iron having a thickness of 3 mm. The sub-object 4 is (pure) aluminum having a thickness of 20 mm. The sub-objects 2, 3 and 4 absorb the X-ray beams FX in different ways, whereby the sub-objects 3 and 4 generate identical absorption values despite their differing thickness in the example.
The absorption of the X-ray beams FX is measured via detectors 6 and input into a computer or processor 7 for evaluation and processing. In the computer 7, the absorption values are converted for grayscale imaging in a known manner. With the aid of the grayscale image, the absorption behavior, particularly of the sub-objects 2, 3, and 4, is depicted on a monitor 8. In this grayscale image on the monitor 8, brightness levels that differ among the sub-objects 2 and 3, or 2 and 4, and that are identical between sub-objects 3 and 4, are discerned by the human eye of a viewer (not shown in further detail).
In order to provide a visual representation of the materials of the sub-objects 2, 3 and 4 themselves, a signal for absorption in the high-energy range of the X-ray spectrum and a separate signal for absorption in the low-energy range are measured from the detectors 6 in a known manner using the two-energy process (not shown in further detail here for the sake of clarity). From these two signals, the average atomic number of the sub-objects 2, 3 and 4 is determined in the computer 7. Using the average atomic number of each sub-object 2, 3 and 4 a display color is assigned to each of the sub-objects. For example, the color orange is assigned to organic materials having a low average atomic number, the color green is assigned to aluminum that has a higher average atomic number, and the color blue is assigned to iron and steel, which have even higher average atomic numbers. These shades are depicted dark or bright depending on material thickness or material density. This means that the density or the thickness of the sub-objects 2, 3 and 4 determine the apparent brightness of the respective color or respective shade thereof.
The sub-object 2 is thus depicted in a color image (false-color-image), for example, as bright orange. In a color image of this type, the sub-object 3 would then be depicted as a dark blue and the sub-object 4 would be depicted as a strong green (if the sub-object 4 were thinner, it would be depicted as a light green).
Accordingly, especially in the representation of the materials of the sub-object 3 and the sub-object 4, different perceived color intensities with regard to the brightness of the color or the shade appear. While the sub-object 3 and the sub-object 4 appeared equally bright in known grayscale imaging because the two have the same absorption, the impression is now different in the color image because the sub-object 3 is depicted in the color blue and the sub-object 4 is depicted in green, whereby the color green is perceived to be much brighter by the human eye than the color blue.
To avoid this, a color adjustment for the human eye of the entire color image and of parts of the color image is now performed based on the three-color theory.
For the sake of clarity, the sub-object 2 is not taken into consideration in the following description.
In the color image representation, the sub-objects 3 and 4, which appear equally bright due to their having identical absorption properties, are preferably adjusted to the same or approximately the same brightness. This is done in accordance with the known formula (according to Grassmann):
To obtain an approximately equal brightness Y for all color pixels, in particular, those with the same absorption values, the color proportion R, G, B for each pixel is calculated, which must be adjusted or added for increasing the intensity, as is described hereinbelow.
The two sub-objects 3 and 4 have an identical absorption of 60%, for example, but each have a different thickness. A brightness of Y=4.0 results in a known manner from the absorption of 60%.
Due to the average atomic number, the sub-object 4 is depicted in a green shade. Assuming the material is pure aluminum, this yields the following RGB-values: 0.000/0.681/0.000, since no red and no blue are present in the pure green shade (0.587*0.681=0.4).
The sub-object 3 is represented in blue due to its average atomic number. Following the discussion hereinabove, the RGB values are: 0.000/0.000/3.509, thereby resulting in a blue shade (0.114*3.509=0.4).
Therefore, according to the above calculations, the brightness YG for green is approximately equal to the brightness YB for blue, i.e. YG=0.4=YB.
RGB values over 1.000 are not possible.
Therefore, with the addition of red and/or green and taking the color theory into consideration, the brightness of the sub-object 3 is adjusted in a manner visually perceptible to the eye, in this case a brightening of the shade of blue, since blue is darker than green. This brightening is done preferably so that red and green values share in equal proportion in the RGB value of the blue color.
Accordingly the necessary RGB value is calculated as follows:
With this process, to the human eye, the sub-object 3 is depicted as a blue equal in brightness to the green of the sub-object 4. This process can also be applied in an analogous manner to secondary colors.
The intensity of the green color can also be reduced, if this helps provide uniform observation for the viewer. In this process, it is not the brightness of the green color that is decisive, but rather the brightness of another reference color.
In practice, tables for brightness adjustment are stored in the computer 7. For a brightness adjustment to be performed for each color, these tables contain the corresponding color values or RGB values to be re-regulated, which are pre-calculated as described and then accessed during the color image display on the monitor 8. Accordingly, the brightness specification and the present color value are input into the tables of the computer 7. The color control of the monitor 8 is then handled via three outputs for color image representation, now consisting of the newly calculated RGB values.
It is understood that this process is not limited to representation of X-ray images. Thus, brightness adjustment for the human eye can also be used in the video and television sector.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

One thing I do believe as a feminist is that in order for us to have gender equality we have to stop making it a girl fight, and we have to stop being so interested in seeing girls trying to tear each other down. It has to be more about cheering each other on, as women.'
On Emma Watson United Nations speech: 'I wish when I was 12 years old, I had been able to watch a video of my favorite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful poignant way the definition of feminism. Because I would have understood it and then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed that I was a feminist.
So many girls out there say 'I'm not a feminist' cause they think it means something angry or disgruntled or complaining. They picture like rioting and picketing, it is not that at all, it just simply means that you believe that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities and to say that you're not a feminist means..

Saturday Morning: 1965 - VIDEOS
If the years 1960 to 1964 were a time when the networks put their toes in the Saturday morning waters to see what it was like, 1965 was the year where they took a few steps in. Not completely enough to submerge themselves, mind you...that would be left until the Fall of 1966. But, just enough to feel comfortable enough to dive in.
Like the nation, television was changing in 1965, and the shift could be felt on Saturday mornings. Gone were many of the post-primetime, live action shows that filled the schedule during the first few years of the 60's. In its place was more animated fare. And, that programming was geared to current fads that were taking place in pop culture during that time. It was also the year that a certain animation studio known for its primetime and syndicated fare took its first tentative steps back into original Saturday morning programming.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the first public preview of Adobe® Edge Reflow, a new responsive design tool for Web designers and developers creating websites and content for screens of virtually all sizes. In addition, the company released new feature updates for Adobe Edge Animate, Adobe Dreamweaver® and Adobe Edge Code preview. All today's announced product releases are available exclusively to Adobe Creative Cloud™ members.
Adobe Edge Reflow is a new responsive Web design tool for creating layout and visual designs with CSS and is available immediately as a preview at no charge in Creative Cloud. Edge Reflow features an intuitive resizable design surface that shows how layouts and visuals will adapt to different screen sizes. Leveraging the power of CSS, Edge Reflow enables users to create high fidelity Web designs on the application's native Web surface. It maintains the design vision, through development, by allowing users to preview in the browser, inspect their design in real-time via Edge Inspect extension, and extract the CSS for use in Edge Code, Dreamweaver or any code editor. During the preview period, Adobe is actively seeking user feedback for Edge Reflow in order to help evolve the product. Users are encouraged to submit their feedback to Adobe through Github at https://github.com/edge-reflow/issues.
Adobe also announced important updates to Adobe Edge Animate to give it powerful new CSS-based features, including gradients, CSS filters, and enhanced font support. Users will now be able to style and animate elements using radial or linear gradients, and preview Edge Web Fonts* live in a new interface. New CSS filter support for Edge Animate allows users to take advantage of exciting CSS capabilities found in modern WebKit browsers, including blur, greyscale, sepia, brightness, contrast, hue-rotate, invert and saturate filters. Previously, filter effects could only be achieved using tools like Adobe Photoshop®.
In addition, Adobe delivered an update to Adobe Dreamweaver exclusively for Creative Cloud members that improves interoperability with the Adobe Edge Tools & Services family and includes several new features to enhance code authoring ability and workflow. Fluid grid layout, a feature first introduced with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, now allows developers to leverage class tags in addition to ID tags and features a new editing interface. Developers can also now easily preview, select and incorporate Edge Web Fonts into their Dreamweaver projects.
This preview release of Adobe Edge Code includes features such as Live Development, which allows users to see changes in the browser immediately as they make code edits, and also Quick Edit, which lets users edit code in context instead of switching between files. This latest update adds code hinting for CSS properties and HTML tags and attributes, making this release an even more productive code editor for web designers and developers working with Web standards.
Paul Gubbay, vice president of product development, Digital Media business, Adobe
- "The job of a Web designer and developer has become more challenging, with Web standards progressing rapidly and the number of screen sizes and form factors increasing exponentially. Adobe Creative Cloud enables our teams to deliver product innovation to our customers the moment that new features are ready, helping designers and developers tackle the new challenges of the modern Web and more seamlessly create websites and interactive content for the latest browsers and different screen sizes."

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

Rumours are now swirling about that Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi, is going to resign, then it was denied, then confirmed again. I'm not so sure, whatever Berlusconi is, he is a political survivor - still PM despite scandal and numerous trials.
What odds on that he announces a referendum soon or decides to pull out of the Euro altogether as a last desperate measure?

The Perfect Craft Bag
By CATHERINE
from DEEP RIVER
I appreciate the quality of the lug manufacturing and the saturation of the colours. I will be using this "ocean" tote as my portable craft bag. I enjoy beadwork and the pockets, height and width of this bag make it a perfect tote for those who like easy access and portability for their crafts. I still enjoy my leather but because these bags are so lightweight and easy to clean, my preference remains Lug for travelling.

This tote was ordered as a gift in beautiful purple and the recipient was thrilled with it. It's a year-round colour and the many pockets are well thought out and offer great convenience.The addition of a shoulder strap for cross-body wear would have made it perfect.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Arkansas Republicans claimed the governor's office as they completed a sweep of the state's top posts, capitalizing on voters' opposition to President Barack Obama in taking over what had once been a Democratic holdout in the South.
Republican Asa Hutchinson was elected Arkansas governor, handily defeating Democrat and fellow ex-congressman Mike Ross. The two had sparred primarily over competing tax cut plans.
The 63-year-old Hutchinson was elected to a four-year term, in a contest the Republicans had identified as their best opportunity to flip a governor's office. Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, who defeated Hutchinson eight years ago, was barred by term limits from running.
Republicans swept the other six constitutional offices. Hutchinson called the wins a "new day in Arkansas politics."
"We need to make sure we earn the respect and the support of the people of Arkansas by governing well, by working hard and acting honorably," he said. "We need to earn the support of the people of Arkansas by reaching out to those that may not have supported us but to say, 'You're a part of this team.'"
Ross urged his supporters to work with Hutchinson.
"Our communities are stronger when we come together to put people before politics," he said.
Hutchinson, a former U.S. attorney, spent four years in Congress and served in the Bush administration as head of the Drug Enforcement Administration and later as an undersecretary of Homeland Security. He had run unsuccessfully for statewide office three times before.
The 53-year-old Ross represented south Arkansas for 12 years in Congress.
Republicans successfully defended four U.S. House districts, including two open seats that Democrats had hoped to reclaim.
Republican Rep. Tim Griffin is giving up his central Arkansas seat and won the lieutenant governor's race. Fellow Republican Rep. Tom Cotton won a U.S. Senate seat after one term in his southern Arkansas district.
Republican banking executive French Hill defeated Democratic nominee Pat Hays, the former North Little Rock mayor, in the race for Griffin's central Arkansas seat. Republican state Rep. Bruce Westerman defeated Democratic nominee and former Federal Emergency Management Director James Lee Witt to take the south Arkansas congressional seat currently held by Cotton.
Incumbent Republican Rep. Rick Crawford defeated Heber Springs Mayor Jackie McPherson, a Democrat, in eastern Arkansas, while GOP Rep. Steve Womack easily won a third term after not facing opposition from a major party for the northwestern Arkansas seat.
Arkansas voters approved increasing the state's minimum wage from $6.25 to $8.50 by 2017 but rejected legalizing alcohol sales statewide.
The proposals, which survived court challenges, were among five initiatives on the ballot.
Arkansas has what amounts to a checkerboard of "wet" and "dry" counties. Some counties are considered "damp," with alcohol sales allowed in private clubs. An initiated act would permit alcohol sales in every county.
Voters also approved loosening legislators' term limits in exchange for tougher ethics rules. Lawmakers now are restricted to three two-year terms in the House and two four-year terms in the Senate.
Republicans retained control of the state House on Tuesday; they had already been assured of a majority in the Senate heading into the midterm. The GOP held control of both chambers of the Legislature after the 2012 election for the first time since Reconstruction.

New Hampshire's state dog, the Chinook, is ready for prime time
By the numbersThe 138th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will be televised live on CNBC Monday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m., and on USA Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m.
Thirty-two dogs from NH are entered, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll see them on the prime time TV broadcasts . To make that cut and appear in the televised group finals, a dog has to be judged Best of Breed in daytime competition. Those breed competitions can be crowded. The most populous breeds at this year's show:
1. Labrador retrievers (76)
2. Golden retrievers (58)
3. French bulldogs (52)
4. Rhodesian ridgebacks (46)
5. Australian shepherds (44)
The Chinook, New Hampshire's state dog, making its first appearance as a breed in the show, has only four entries.
So it seems only fitting that a real New Hampshire Chinook will be representing his state and his breed at the prestigious event.
First held in 1877, Westminster is America's second-longest continuously held sporting event, behind the Kentucky Derby. Each year, the prime-time live broadcast from Madison Square Garden draws millions of viewers.
For a look at the Chinooks sledding, click the video below:
Today's Chinooks are descended from that original Chinook.
Another new breed at Westminster this year is the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, the smallest of a trio of Portuguese hunting hounds. And here, too, a New Hampshire dog will help introduce the world to his kind.
That makes Ollie a real underdog.
Kahla, an AKC judge, used to raise and show golden retrievers. But after knee surgery, she decided to try a smaller breed, and the Pequeno won her over.
"They are a working breed," she said. "They require a lot of exercise, a lot of training."
He doesn't actually eat them, but likes to carry them around, "talking" all the while, she said. "He'll stuff three or four in his mouth."
Lucille Jordan, president of Nashua Community College, is bringing her 2-year-old female yellow Labrador retriever to Westminster. Like many champion show dogs, her AKC registered name is a mouthful - Tampa Bay's Gusta Sea Salt @ Snobo - but her friends call her ChaCha Bear or Charlee.
If Charlee finds herself in a corner during the judging, Jordan said, "she just kind of steps out there and puts her head out there and they see her. She loves it."
Emily Elliot of Errol is bringing two of her dogs - Charlee's brother, Tampa Bay & Snobo Batten Down the Hatch (Hatch) and the dogs' father, Grand Champion Belquest Fergus N Trouble@Snobo (Gus) - to Westminster.
There's another New Hampshire Labrador retriever going to Westminster this year: Celtia's Riverdance, aka, River. His owner, Kathleen Coleman of Swanzey, said her 5-year-old black lab is competing in the "open" class and could finish his championship with a win at Westminster.

I purchased the 69 Series Typhoon for my 2013 Charger RT, had it installed and I must say, I noticed a drastic increase in horsepower. I also have [brand] exhaust mufflers and the two go together perfectly. This is my first K&N product and it won't be my last.

Have been using these for 10+ years. Never a problem and the cost and shipping were just what the mechanic ordered!!

Installed on 2007 Maxima... Dramatic change in acceleration and sound. OEM mufflers replaced with [brand] resonators. Sounds exactly like an Infinit G37s now, and just as quick.

The K&N Replacement filter is an easy job to do and comes with a new gasket to make sure it gets a tight fit to the breather housing. It is also pre-lubed with the correct amount of filter oil but I still bought the kit to clean and re-lube it when the time comes. Not sure on the mileage between cleanings yet or the gas mileage, still need to run a few tanks of gas out but so far the bike does seem to run better. No modifications needed when replacing the stock filter with the K&N.

Purchased for my grizzly 550 EPS, also bought [brand] exhaust Added 6 H.P and throttle response is faster. Now I have 42H.P. Good price and quality filter. Will recommend for everyone who wants more power but dont forget to remap ecu.
March 6, 2014
Absolutely the BEST item I have ever purchased for my truck. K&N engineering is genius. My truck runs 150 percent better than it ever has. It was an INSTANT difference the second I started my truck. Thank you for giving new life to a 19yr old truck

As a Neon entusiast, I did for a long time consider buying a used Icemann CAI, that are a true cold air intake. They are a bit hard to come by, so I made my own. To build a cai for a 1gn Neon is not easy, and the only place to put the filter, is under the battery. It gets dirty, and a dirty filters don't flow well. After many considerations, I bought the K&N kit. It's a very good quality part. Fit the bay really well and has the emblems molded in! The exit of the intake tube has exactly 55mm opening. Thats the perfect size of opening, and tells me that K&N has done their homework! Nice sound, good looking, solid.
March 6, 2014
Good directions on instillation. Easy to install. Doesn't take too long. Very satisfied with results. More torque and power. And better gas mileage.

Not one bit dissapointed, worth every penny. I was able to hear a difference in the sound of the engine immediately after installation. Also a huge difference in performance. Overall completely satisfied. I'd recommend buying K&N to anyone.

I needed CARB sticker 02 Yukon to pass smog had on since 02 and always passed. This time didn't pass visual. Called customer service Tuesday. received in mail Wednesday. Passed smog this morning. Thanks! Great job. I sold there products for 10 yrs always been great.

I have used K&N filters in every car I have owned for the past 20 years or so. I gave one to my grandson for his Volvo. He liked it so much he asked me to get him one for his VW. He is 18 and in college. He will no doubt be purchasing a K&N filter for every car he will ever own.

Ordered the kit to install on my 2013 Lincoln MKS ECO-BOOST 3.5 liter AWD since the Taurus SHO and MKS have same engine compartment. Install was a breeze, everything fit well and went together easily. Now 500 miles since install and seeing a consistent increase of 1 mpg at 75mph cruise between Tampa and Orlando. (25.5 mpg now vs 24.4 mpg previously using on board trip computer) K&N should update their application guide to show this. At this rate it will pay for itself in about a year. Throttle response is noticeably better at higher speeds (60mph+)

Would definitely recommend this for the Ford Raptors. Still quiet when cruising around with the wife and kids, but when you want to punch it, there is a deeper growl and crisper throttle response! You can actually FEEL the difference. Did take some time to install but worth it. Awesome product! Thank You K&N!!!

Excellent product to re-charge your K&N Filter. You never have to second guess whether or not your cleaning your filter right or not... I do however, prefer the spray can of oil rather than the squeeze bottle. But that's just a personal preference.

The ONLY filter I consider using in my vehicles for a long time now. Easy to clean, well made and lasts far longer than I ever own a vehicle. I fully believe that I get much better and balanced air flow... and in conjunction with a GForce power chip... WOW! I LOVE Smoking a V8 with a 4 cylinder Turbo!

Upon first buying the aftermarket intake along with a turbo back exhaust, I gained almost 5 miles per gallon. I used the first filter for 10 years and only replaced it because of the dents I put in the screen. I wouldn't consider any other filter on my Dodge Diesel Truck. Thank You.

Amazing sound! Easily my Denali has an extra 10 hp and the most amazing part that I can't still believe is it gave me an extra 51 miles to my gas tank that saves me an entire gas tank every 4 weeks! Still can't believe it and thank you for your services....

It was an easy install. Took me about 45mins to get the old air box and hose off and install the K&N intake on my Chevy Silverado 1500hd with the 6.0L. Gave the exhaust more of a grumble, runs a little cooler at peak temp and overall seems more smooth of an intake system!
March 3, 2014
Great prduct, easy to use and works well. Thank you. Awesome.

This is my third vehicle only using k&n filters. I am getting an easy 1.5 extra mpg on average after 1500 miles driven since installation. I will never own another vehicle without buying a K&N filter. The extra pep was noticed right away in the pedal. Better mpg, better performance. It only makes since to use K&N filters.
March 2, 2014
So far so good. Finally installed filter and I'm really liking it..

So far so good - been using the filter for about a month - vehicle runs smoother, shifts easier, is more responsive and MPG has gone up a bit. I definitely recommend investing in this. Thanks K&N for making this product.
Matt L
March 1, 2014
Great product. Improved the fuel economy on my sonic rs. The throttle response is well improved. There is very little turbo lag now. The turbo blow off is now audible and it adds a great sound effect. I recommend getting this intake over others due to the heat shield.
Tooele, Utah
February 28, 2014
Could not be happier with the new intake. Only took me about a half hour to install... instructional pictures are small, but adequate... I have no idea if I got more power, or better MPG... but the improvement in the throttle response is worth far more than the cost of the unit. My car is a V6 w/ 5 spd manual, and I've always thought the clutch was too touchy, making it hard to drive away from a stop... well, it wasn't the clutch at all, it was poor throttle response. Installing the K&N 57-2566 has improved drive-ability 100%... I no longer have to phutz with the gas pedal to pull away from a stop... if I got more power and mileage, that's just a bonus!
Bellevue, Washington
February 28, 2014
Installation was a breeze with the provided instructions. I previously had flow masters on my truck but the cold air intake. Made it sound a lot better. Power was also noticeable instantly. It wasn't extravagant but without a doubt noticeable. Very satisfied customer!!
Jesus Lopez
February 28, 2014
Fast delivery, perfect fit and I noticed a power increase immediately.
Cliff Spirek
Atlanta, Gorgia
February 27, 2014
My only worry was that it would be an odd fit since it was ordered by dimension only for use in an application not supported by K&N. For future use this model fits the Volvo penta KAD 300 diesel marine engine well.
Darrell Strickroth
Signal Hill, California
February 27, 2014
A K&N Filter is the first purchase I make after getting a new car. Just installed this in my 2013 X-1 2.8 S-Drive and love it! Performance and mileage are both improved and the car is much more responsive.I can't believe how much of a difference this makes in the vehicle.

– Eric sent the following: On ESPN's NASCAR Now, they interviewed Joey Logano on the phone. Logano said he had never watched any wrestling show before Monday and was very nervous being in front of all the people. Logano said he had a lot of fun backstage, with everyone coming up and talking to them and being very nice. He said he had a great time with Big Show, who was "the biggest person I ever saw in my entire life." They showed a clip of The two driving out and Kyle Busch slamming Buffalo. Also, Kyle was also on NASCAR Now but they did not talk about WWE with him. However, on NASCAR Race Hub on The SPEED Channel, Kyle was interviewed on different topics. Kyle said he's followed wrestling sometimes but has never been to a live show. He said it was a neat experience. He talked about how cool it was with Big Show & John Cena and others talking to them in their green room. He said how he doesn't think he can ever go to Buffalo again, but he can say he has a script as a excuse.

Jantjies kicks Lions to Currie Cup glory
ESPNscrum Staff
October 29, 2011
The Lions celebrate their Currie Cup Final triumph over the Sharks
© Getty Images
The Golden Lions produced a brilliant display to claim this year's Currie Cup from last year's holders as they prevailed 42-16 in front of their home crowd in Johannesburg.
Tries from Michael Killian, Patrick Cillies and Jaco Taute were enough to get them over the line but it will be fly-half Elton Jantjies who will take the plaudits as he contributed 24 points to their overall haul with a faultless kicking display. The Sharks attempted to rally throughout but last year's champions were thoroughly outplayed by a Lions side who claimed their first Currie Cup on home soil in 61 years.
Jantjies got the scoreboard ticking over in the second minute of the match with a well struck penalty to give the home side the advantage and fullback Taute nudged a phenomenal place kick three minutes later - his first of the season - from 60 metres out to put the home side firmly in the ascendancy.
However, former France international Frederic Michalak struck back for the Sharks after Michael Rhodes was penalised at the breakdown but their revival was temporary as Jantjies stretched the Lions' lead with two well struck penalties soon after. And in the 25th minute of the match they had their first try with winger Killian profiting from Doppies la Grange's good work to cross the line.
Michalak struck back with a penalty in the 28th minute and three minutes later the Sharks were given an opportunity to get back in the match with Lions prop CJ Van der Linde sent to the sin-bin but they failed to make the most of the one man advantage with J.P Pietersen failing to ground Patrick Lambie's kick through the closest they came to getting on the scoreboard with time ticking down in the first-half.
Trailing 19-6 at half-time, the Sharks came out of the blocks with gusto in the second 40 and were soon rewarded for their attacking possession with Michalak slotting a penalty. But man-of-the-match Jantjies soon re-asserted the 13 point difference with a calmly struck drop-goal a minute later.
With 10 minutes gone in the second-half, the Sharks threatened a comeback when Willem Alberts crashed over but it was a score laced with controversy as the Springboks flanker appeared to knock the ball on en route to scoring. However, referee Mark Lawrence deemed it to have come off Lions skipper Joshua Strauss and allowed the score much to the dismay of the Ellis Park faithful. However, the Sharks' joy proved to be short lived as prop Cillies dived over after good work from Jantjies' dart established their platform.
And after Cillies' score, it was the home side who cranked up the intensity as Jantjies kicked two more penalties to take his haul to 22 points. With the Lions keeping the pressure on the Sharks, Taute crashed into the corner to put the final nail in the Sharks' coffin. Jantjies kicked an effortless conversion from the touchline to bring the Ellis Park crowd to their feet as they saluted their new hero and a hugely impressive performance.

Nicole - My name is Susan and my great-grandfather was Michael Fuchs, who had a brother, Martin. All the siblings were born in Bavaria. Not me).
Michael was married to Anna (Lang) Fuchs in Bavaria. They came to the states @ 1880-1881. Several children were born to them including my grandmother, but Anna also had 3 sons who died shortly after birth. She herself died in 1885 at the age of 25. Now we cannot account for one of those children- George Konrad Fuchs. He was christened in NYC, but there is no death record of this child. I believe because of his mother's ill health and family poverty, that he was adopted. I was recently directed to the St. Louis, Illinois, Indiana area to look for him. I lean toward the theory that he may have been adopted by a family member. Martin? I don't know for sure if our Martin and yours are the same, but I do have contacts in GErmany who are helping me with this.
Please let me know of any of this information sounds familiar. I am of course looking for adoption papers. Also the date of 1889 is significant, but I am not sure how.
Thanks for your time.
