- This extension has additional addons listed in an extension specific category.
- This extension requires registration to download.
It can be used for selling different products. There are also functions for selling musik files or videos. Products can shown with text, pictures and also audio or video files can be added to description. Other features: Customized PDF Bills. Modules for easy integration of payment providers and also import and export of datas are available.
The shop is special for those users who have also the target to get a good listing in Searchengines because JoomShopping was created from Webdesigner with many years of Searchengine Optimization.
The sourcecode is written in high quality for easy adding features and for stability and high security.
Supportforum you find on the website and there is also video installation manual for free of charge.
+ Easy to install, no problems
+ Easy to configure the admin, menus are really easy to understand
+ Many options available to configure the products, attributes, order status, shipping, payment modes...etc
+ Works flawlessly without any errors
Suggestions for improvement
- Admin panel should include an option to configure and send HTML invoices (Currently have to edit the orderemail.php)
- Coupons should allow an option for discounts for selected products only (Currently can only set by value or %, which applies to all products)
- Import XML feature for shipping rates/weights
- Member signup fields should be part of the checkout process so that the purchase flow would be more seamless
Overall a very good extension and many thanks for sharing it. Do let me know if you have a donations page as I would like to make a contribution.
The template integration was also done quickly, we are very pleased with the way it looks on the front end.
The only problem I had was when I tried to set-up the menu items.
You can also check the forum with the answer to that, it needed some adjustments in a file. That is not very good as not everybody is able to make changes to php files. Might be a good idea to look into the code.
Some mention that there are no payment gateways other than paypal available. Yes that is true but Paypal is a good gateway, it is widely available and you can pay as guest or through your account.
Overall, well done, thank you!
We not understand what means there is no other gatway modul for other payment systems.
There are in JoomShopping Standart some and there are several which can be bought as addon option from our site with small amount.
Also we do customizing in case somebody want to get a integration on other payment system.
Please everybody need to understand .. we also not able to give everything for free. Therefore support costs money if you need also development or if you want to remove our link from joomshopping frontend.
It is sometimes frustrating to get positive feedback about all of joomshopping and only from those users who want to get free support, to get negative voting.
So again and hope for future .. JoomShopping can be used for free but NOT Support and NOT Customzing! We can not develop a good product in case we have to pay for other users to integrate them for free our software in their enviorment as they wish
I used their fixed price PayPal integration service for PayPal and was pleased. Fast and problem free.
Some complain that the price for the commercial/logo free version is excessive. Personally, I'm always glad to support developers in this way. It is a comprehensive product and well worth the price!
Thanks for your feedback and that you like our work!
Good luck in the future!
Thank you ... this was our main goal when we started this project.
We wanted to create a shop .. more simple to use as other shop systems from joomla on the market...
Thanks for reply
We not understand what was issue?
This is a good component. Easy to install, configure and use but need some improvements.
I was wondering to get quantity dropdown or textbox.
Really in need. Please help me somebody.
Thanks you.
I should have all product in by Monday, have my Contact screen, my links page and still be done in time for Monday Night Football.
What can I say bad? Yeah, the forum is in German. Darn! I had to use Google.
Thanks for fair voting .. even with our german forum ;)
It can be customized, but the only thing that is missing are the payment options. I've used this extension for a year, and now my client asked me to add credit card payment support, and I didn't find anything helpfull. So I may be forced to change the e-shop extenstion, only for this fact.
I thing that the payment options are a very important when we are talking about a e-comerce platform.
To be honest .. do not know what you mean.
There is paypal and sofortüberweisung allready integrated and free to use. There are many others as plugin on our website which can be bought for a very small amout of money.
If there is a question why we ask for money for some of the plugins. This is because we did those plugins only for a very small amount of users. Only a few are using thoses because we have many features in our standart joomshopping wich is free of charge allready included. So hope users understand that for those extra programming we did, we have to charge those plugins with a small amount of money to get some development costs back.
First of all, the core (free) component is fairly well put-together. For the most part, it works. There are some things that will be awkward, especially for US residents, like the taxes. Here are a few:
1. There is no way to link directly from the menu to a specific category - it requires a workaround of "External URL."
2. Same with linking to a particular product.
THOSE are Biggies, if you want to link to more than "Shop" or "All Products."
3. The taxes are set up primarily for VAT, which is great for Europeans. Not so much for the US. As far as I can tell,t here is no way to create state-specific (or city-specific) tax rules. AND it can be a bit confusing to try to figure out how it calculates the taxes.
4. The templates are all done in tables. Not ideal, but it's a quibble, I admit.
Here's the biggie, though...
So far, after purchasing several of his paid options (zoom template + import options), not a single one works.
In addition, I've sent multiple emails through the site without a single response, and yet, when I disputed the purchase with PayPal, he responded to them within 2 hours.
PayPal ruled in his favor (they have a policy about downloaded goods), but was kind enough to give me my money back as well, because I am an excellent client, and they believed my claim.
This is NOT something most people can look forward to.
In conclusion:
- Feel safe using what is offered for JoomShopping for free.
- Beware ANY of the commercial options, unless you have money to throw away.
- Keep the notes about restrictions above in mind.
What you are writting is strange . .. we have thousands of clients which are using joomshopping and our components and moduls ..
and non of them had found a bug yet ...
Only a few without basic skills have problem but we can not teach people how Joomla is working .. why you just writting those text...
we offer installation service.. . you seams to be one guy which want all for free and free support .. after not got free support try to write those text ...
Sorry if you just not know basics .. then don`t use our shop. We are not able to give a free support for free ... we have thousands of users and we would not be able to create new features or improve the shop in case single users want free support.
For example we offer you to buy a day of installation service and if there is ANY Bug which was the reason for your problem we will refund this money for this day .. WE ARE SHURE ... the mistake is on our site .. We can garante that what you are writting about problems is only from not correct configuration of your webserver, or not correct installing because of less skills ...
Therefore we offer installing service with money back guarantee if there is a bug which caused your problems , because there is NO Bug.
Since this is a free extension, you might expect a poor support history, and indeed, this is true. The developing company seems to be under the impression that you can release software for free, and only provide paid support. There is an online forum, and simple questions are answered therein, however anything complicated is deferred to paid support.
To that end, I have posted multiple times about requesting support which I will pay for, and I have sent the company emails, and submitted the contact form on the site. I have not received ANY reply's to these messages. It's as if these messages don't ever make it to the company.
Summary: If you need Joomla 1.6 or 1.7 and a basic store, this will be perfect.
If you need something non standard, stick with Virtuemart.
- Great way to setup attributes for the products and to either add, substract, set a new price or not affect the price at all of a given product.
- Good selection of language files
- The template system looks ok, although the default template does use only tables to set up the structure of the page. Tables are a messy system to set up a page structure but I guess that it is the easiest way to not affect the rest of the CSS of a given site.
The two most difficult aspects of a store are the payment and the shipping process. I'm still testing the level of integration I can manage on this two fronts with this system. I'll report my findings later
Thanks exact this was our task .. to make it beter ..
thanks for feedback
We do not understand this information .. you omnly writing that you are not able to install joomshopping in 1.7.
If you download correct JoomShopping for 1.7 it works without any problems. Might be problems on your server or your server configuration which we do not know.
There are thousands of installations on joomla 1.7 allready and not problems reportet yet.
We also testet it in different installatins before releasing it.
So please check out and change voting because product works fine and we take a lot of afforts in it.
I made USD my currency with no issues whatsoever and i have almost no knowledge of web design or coding. So the people saying they are very experienced and cant figure it out you should be ashamed.
This component is very powerful and very easy to use i really cant say enough. If only more free components could be made this well. If you cant figure out how to set it up then pay the support team to do it they deserve the money for sure.
PLEASE keep up the great work!!
The translation of the "main" product and the login module, can be download on the developer site!
It working perfect on Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7!
Many thanks for this excellent and FREE product!
it is very simple both in visual display, control, functionality, installation, and use. even for beguines, this extension is unbelievably easy to use and learn.
JoomShopping has every feature you could need and all of witch work without error or complex installation. this has made it very easy for myself to modify and set up within minuets not hours.
i would also recommend this to advanced users as it is time saving, easy to mod, and easy to teach clients how to use.
i have now chosen to use this as my standard shopping cart extension for both Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6

Nestled in one of Malaga's oldest historic quarters just a few blocks from the Picasso Museum and Plaza de la Merced (under which there is convenient parking) is this hidden treasure. As a lover of history and architecture, I learned a lot from these antique, large dollhouses that are miniature replicas of how people used to live in various regions of Spain during the past few centuries. Each building is replete with every minor detail (furniture, kitchens, light fixtures, people, toys) you can imagine. Some miniatures were even created by the nimble fingers of the owner, Voria Harras, who was a delightful guide and not only showed off her museum, but also her improving English.

This is the way thanksgiving always works--in giving thanks for a gift given, we are blessed again.
You want to help your people see how biblical truth intersects with every aspect of their lives. But the more controversial the topic the more important it is to handle it with care.
"At hundreds of points, I have run out of things to say." What to do next is key.
Give some freshness to your Thanksgiving message, or post these inspirational words on your church's website, Facebook page or Twitter feed.
A British pastor reminds us, "Thanksgiving is more than an American holiday; it's a Godly holiday, as well."
When a leader admits his or her weaknesses in front of an audience, I think to myself, "That's great ... how will you follow that up?"

Delicious pumpkin bisque served right from the pumpkin itself! The pumpkin is roasted whole in the oven with an infusion of flavors steaming inside and then finished on the stovetop to create a rich velvety bisque with incredible depth that is then replaced in the pumpkin to serve. The bisque is meant to be fragrant and almost spicy, but of course you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. This is unlike any recipe out there as I have spent the last 10 years perfecting it. It is a favorite for our autumn family get-togethers and you will find yourself craving this day after day!

For the third year, thanks to Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer, proceeds from the voluntary donations to the Agricultural Program Trust Fund are divided equally among 4-H, FFA, and Kentucky Proud.

Thanksgiving is a time when we Americans gather together with family and friends enjoying a feast as we reflect on the things in life in which we are grateful.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 states, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." It doesn't say give thanks once a year, or rejoice only for the things you are grateful for. It simply states, "In every thing... give thanks."

After graduating five seniors, including four starters, the Carroll County High School boys basketball team will look to new faces to step up this season.
One of those will be Taylor Schirmer, the Panthers' lone senior. Schirmer played minutes in quite a few games last season and has been working on his shooting and overall game in the offseason, head coach Carroll Yager said. "He's one of those players that will put a great deal of energy in getting loose balls and rebounds," he said.
A proposed ordinance updating the city of Carrollton's Enterprise Incentive Program was tabled until after a special council meeting could be held in conjunction with the Design and Review Board and the Carrollton Main Street Program. The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at city hall. It is open to the public, and no action will be taken regarding the proposed ordinance at the meeting.

'Basketball Wives' Recap: Who's The Real Tami?
2. New Tami and Old Tami Are One And The Same
Evelyn said it best when she said in last night's episode, "Tami's trying to change, but I think Tami will forever be that chick that tells you to 'go f*ck yourself.'" To wit, Tami visited "the world renowned life coach" Vasavi Kumar to discuss her knack for wanting to curse a person out and go upside their head. However, it wasn't long before she said that while she's working on dealing with her anger issues, "It just seems that within this journey, people won't allow me to progress."
She then invokes Shaunie's comment about how meeting her could go either good or bad, followed by additional comments about mannerisms that lit her fuse. In response, Vasavi took her back to the source of those frustrations: her mommy. Yes, it's always a deep-seeded childhood issue that spurs so many adults to behave as if they have no home training.
I wish Tami well, but there's something about the way she refuses to own her behavior that makes you wonder whether she'll ever conquer her demons. It shouldn't be long now before she meets with Iyanla Vanzant. Tami may hate the phrase, but that meeting could go really well or really badly. One thing is for certain: Iyanla would probably know to look for the sucker punches Tami's good for throwing. Iyanla looks like she'll shake that voodoo priestess vibe and go straight Floyd Mayweather if you push her hard enough.
P.S. Tami's best moments on camera are when she's with her children. I'd rather see Tami talk about business and family with her pretty, well-mannered daughters versus watching her spontaneously combust over inconsequential comments made by half-friends.

Coyotes in the Campsterground!September 7th 2012 7:12 pm

Last evenin Gunnie and I meeted a nice little bunny in the campsterground, but what happened in the night was real skary. It was late and real dark. Gunnie and I were playin race kitty in the campster while mama and daddy were tryin to sleep. We run from the kitchen through the livin room, past the bathyroom, into the beddyroom, jump on the bed, turn around, and run back the nuther way. It was quiet cept for me and Guns and our runnin and jumpsterin.
The Amazing Shopstering MamaSeptember 4th 2012 6:46 pm

Wow! Mama had so much fun takin videos at the Scottish-Irish Festival in Hamilton that she could not resist gettin a brand new camcorder. Mama has always enjoyed tryin to film me and Gunnie playin and bathin each nuther and stuff. Now she will have a real video takin thingie. Mama is real eksitered bout this. She has been thinkin bout it for awhile, but finally she just started lookin at camcorders at Amazon. Mama founded one she liked, and when she checked the price, it was more than $100 less than the same camcorder even at Wallermart! Mama should have the new thingie by the time we go to Virgelle, so maybe she can film me and Gunnie havin some adventures at our cabin. Last year I checked out the big wood cookstove thingie. It is a good thing it was not hot cuz I climbed all over it. Then there was the kitty that lives down the road. I think his name is Garfield, and he wanted to come in our cabin, but Gunnie and I did not like him. Gunnie's tail got all poofy, and he growlered when he saw Garfy at the screen door. Mama and daddy let em look at each nuther, but they would not let Gunnie get close to the door.

Oh, my goodiness. Thank you, Catster! I did not think this would ever happen, and Gunnie told me I would never get Kitty of the Week, but gettin this honor has comed true. Mama laughed when she saw the picture Catster used. I was just a baby kitty then. The picture is of me in what mama called my "safe box." It was sposed to be so if Gunnie chasered me too much, I could go in my box, and he could not get me. The door openin looked tiny like me, so imagine mama's sprise one day when she found me and Gunnie inside my box together! We were skished in it like worms in a bucket, so we did not keep the box much longer. Jeepers, that seems so long ago. I do not look like that picture at all anymore. In fact, with my pooferlicious furs, I look even bigger than Gunnie.

OK, so I know I am Peekaboo, and I know I am a kitty. I am just not sure what kinda kitty I am. When I was just a kitten here at Catster, all the Wegian Forest kitties and all the Maine Coon kitties were fightin for me to come join them. All the Coons thought I should be a Coon, and all the Weegies thought I should be a Weegie.

Ooh, ooh. We got new coats! Gunnie and I each got a brand new coat for fall. I had a pretty little pink coat, but the key word here is "little." Now that I am a big girl, my pretty little coat was too tight around the tummy. It pulled, and mama sed I looked like a stuffed sausage. Well!

The current chairman of the Fayette County Board of Commissioners has said that he would like to continue in that role next year if his fellow board members would allow it.
Maybe that will happen, maybe it won't. None of the four people whose votes Steve Brown would need to stay on as chairman are hinting about what direction they will go when the decision is made at the first meeting in January.
When asked last week, Randy Ognio was succinct in his response: "There is just over a month until everyone will know." Read More»

This application is related to the following four applications:
"Instantaneous Parameter Measuring Receiver" filed on Aug. 20, 1993 by Don Lochhead, with Ser. No. 08/109,804; "Parameter Encoder Architecture" filed on Nov. 19, 1993 by Mark E. Noneman et al.; with Ser. No. 08/154,909; "Advanced Parameter Encoder with Pulse-On-Pulse Detection and Pulse Fragment Reconstruction" filed on Nov. 19, 1993 by Mark E. Noneman et al.; with Ser. No. 08/154,908; and "Advanced Parameter Encoder With Dual Integrated Pulse Present Detection and Channel/Sector Arbitration" filed on Nov. 19, 1993 by Mark E. Noneman et al.; with Ser. No. 08/154,906 all of which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
Electronic warfare systems are used on modern military aircraft as part of their offensive and defensive capabilities. These electronic warfare systems emit RF signals that travel through space. Radar systems use RF emissions to locate and track opposing aircraft and some radar systems are incorporated within missiles to assist in the self-guided propulsion of a missile to its target. An electronic warfare search receiver is used defensively to detect those RF emissions. The receiver searches the range of frequencies (the RF spectrum) in which the RF emissions are likely to occur. The receiver then detects and analyzes the nature of the RF signals. By determining the characteristics of the signals received, the defender will know the nature of the threat and, for example, will know if a radar guided missile has "locked on" to the defenders aircraft. These systems are used in friendly as well as unfriendly aircraft. In a tactical or strategic environment, the number of aircraft and the density and diversity of the emissions in the RF spectrum is quite large and is expected to increase. Existing detection and monitoring equipment that use wide band search receivers will find the RF emissions difficult to successfully monitor in such an environment. For instance, on routine missions where airplanes are flying in a pattern, each plane will be emitting its own radar signal to look for hostile or unidentified aircraft. Simultaneously, each aircraft will have on its own search receiver and will be listening for radar signals emitted from other sources which could include hostile airplanes or missiles, ground sources or from ships at sea. The airplane will also receive radar signals from the other airplanes that are flying in its formation. It would be advantageous to identify these signals from the adjacent airplane and filter them out while at the same time listening for radar signals that are of more interest. There may be a variety of signals particularly in an electronically congested area that are of no or little interest. It would be desirable to eliminate these signals after they were identified as not being of interest.
Under certain circumstances, one particular type of waveform or several particular types of waveforms may be of keen interest to the pilot. Under these circumstances it may be advantageous to identify these signals quickly for further action.
Existing window addressable memories (WAM) are used to filter out unwanted signals or identify signals of particular interest. However, these types of filters have a limited window space such as 16 windows for identification of signals to be filtered out or identified for further processing. This type of device has inflexible parameters because parameters must be hard-wired at fixed resolution and range. This type of filter can only cover a limited number of discrete characteristics from the total range that can be covered by a pulse descriptor word (PDW).
It is unlikely that a single receiver type will be capable of meeting all offensive or defensive threat detection and analysis requirements dictated by the future electronic warfare environment. Instead, a set of search and analysis receivers of complimentary capabilities are likely to be required to meet future demands. Trade-offs between probability of intercept, bandwidth, simultaneous signal resolution, sensitivity, receiver complexity and power consumption are necessary. It would be advantageous to have the ability to identify and eliminate or mark for interest a large number of parameters of a pulse descriptor word and at the same time be able to change the requirements for identification as the environment changes.
The invention is a method and apparatus for identifying and filtering out pulse descriptor words which are of no interest or for identifying pulse descriptor words that are of a particular interest. The invention is used in the environment of a channelized receiver used to receive and measure the signal parameters of RF pulses including frequency, time of arrival, pulse width, pulse amplitude and angle of arrival. Pulse descriptor words can be of varying length but typically are between 96 bits and 256 bits long. Each pulse descriptor word contains a large amount of information about the RF signals that have been received. For example, in a pulse descriptor word there may be 20 bits of reserved space for frequency information. However, to identify a signal with a frequency of interest, it may be only necessary to identify the 12 most significant bits. This is true because the eight least significant bits of the frequency portion of the pulse descriptor word provide frequency resolution that is not necessary for identification of pulses having a particular frequency of interest. Conversely, the most significant bits of frequency may not be necessary if the receiver is known to be tuned to a relatively narrow bandwidth. In this case, more of the less significant bits could be used to examine a finer resolution of frequency. The pulse descriptor word also has a number of bits reserved for angle of arrival, pulse amplitude and pulse width. Again, for each of these parameters, the pulse descriptor word has more bits than are necessary to flag a pulse descriptor word that has a particular angle of arrival, pulse amplitude or pulse width. The environment filter of the present invention determines the maximum number of bits that will be useful in identifying any particular parameter and limits the pulse descriptor word to those number of bits. For instance, if the pulse descriptor word had 20 bits of frequency information, the environmental filter may transform this number of bits to 12 because 12 is the maximum number of bits of frequency resolution that are necessary to identify the frequency parameter. This process is repeated for the angle of arrival, the pulse amplitude and the pulse width with one other channel that can be used for miscellaneous identifications. Each bit group is transformed in size to the maximum number of bits that could possibly be useful for identifying a particular parameter. After this is done, the group of transformed bits for all parameters is again reduced to a total of, for instance, 12 bits. These 12 bits can represent 12 bits of frequency or three bits of frequency, three bits of angle of arrival, three bits of pulse amplitude and three bits of pulse width. It can also be programmable to have, for instance, 6 bits of angle of arrival and 6 bits of frequency or any combination that is desired. Once the pulse descriptor word has been reduced to a total of 12 bits, the 12 bits are compared to a programmable look-up table that has a maximum of 4,096 positions. This provides a vast increase in the number of signal parameters that can be identified for elimination or special consideration. The system provides further flexibility in that both bit transformations are programmable and therefore provide a large flexibility in identifying any information in a pulse descriptor word that could possibly be or interest.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a channelized receiver with a capability of identifying and filtering out or targeting for special interest various combinations of data contained in pulse descriptor words. It is another object of the present invention to be able to eliminate multiple signal detections that have already been identified as not of interest. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an environmental filter with programmable flexibility so that a large amount of the information contained in the pulse descriptor word can be targeted and identified for either elimination or special handling. The foregoing objects and advantages of the invention together with the structure and characteristics thereof, briefly summarized in the foregoing passages, become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment taken together with the following illustrations.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of an overall channelized receiver system;
FIG. 2 is a more detailed block diagram showing the location of the environmental filter;
FIG. 3 is a pulse descriptor word diagram showing where parameter information is located in the pulse descriptor word;
FIG. 4 is a prior art diagram of a window addressable memory; and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the environmental filter of the present invention.
The present invention is a portion of a channelized receiver that acts as an environmental filter for identifying PDW's for elimination or special processing. The novel environmental filter and method will now be described.
FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of a channelized receiver that would be employed in an aircraft to receive, detect and analyze RF signals from a variety of possible emission sources including enemy aircraft, enemy missiles and fixed radar locations.
Turning now to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of a channelized receiver in which the present invention can be used. This is an illustration of the type of receiver that would suitable for the present invention although the present invention can be used in other types of receivers such as narrow band single channel and interferometer receivers. Antennas 20, 22, 24 and 26 represent the four antennas that would typically be used to cover 360� of spatial domain surrounding an aircraft. Each antenna receives signals from approximately 90� of air space to cover the entire 360� range. The receivers 30 are identical and receive the signals intercepted by antennas 20-26. The receivers 30 are typically wide band, front end low noise amplifiers that are placed close to the antennas to minimize noise interference that could be introduced through long cable connections. Bus 40 is a command and control bus that is used to coordinate and control the overall function of the channelized receiver. Each output of the receiver is connected to an IF switch 31 and tuner 34. Local oscillator 32 is connected to each of the tuners 34 to provide the tuners with the ability to select IF frequency bands and down convert a bandwidth from, for instance, 6 to 7 gigahertz for an individual receiver to 0.5-1.5 gigahertz. The output bandwidth of each tuner 34 is connected to one of the four channelizers 36. The channelizers 36 consist of a number of adjacent band-pass filters that are used to discriminate between signals that may be contained in various frequencies across the spectrum selected by the IF tuner. Each of these band-pass filters can cover a frequency range of from 20 to 100 MHz and typically will have a crossover with its adjacent filter at -1 dB of attenuation. The outputs of the channelizers are connected to the parameter encoder module 38 which is ultimately responsible for producing a pulse descriptor word for each separate signal that has been received across the frequency spectrum covered by antennas 20-26 and receivers 30. The pulse descriptor word which is a long digital word describing the individual characteristics of each received signal is transferred to an emitter identification processor 46 that determines the nature and possible significance of any signal that is received. The emitter identification processor 46 then transfers information concerning the received signal to a cockpit display 48, for instance, or via line 50 to an aircraft controller. FIG. 1 is intended to identify an overall system in which the present invention is useful.
FIG. 2 is a more detailed block diagram of the portion of the channelized receiver in which the invention is useful. Channelizers 94, 96, 98 and 100 represent the four sectors of the channelized receiver. Each sector has 24 channels which can be expandable if desired. One of the channels in channelizer 98 is shown connected to its string of processing circuits which will now be discussed. All outputs of the channelizers 94, 96, 98 and 100 are connected to logrithmic amplifier detectors 101. There are 96 logrithmic amplifier detectors 101 which are connected to channelizers 94, 96, 98 and 100. Similar, there are 96 A/D converters 102 and 96 pulse detectors 104. There are also 96 arbitration modules 106 which are used to arbitrate between both channels and sectors to eliminate spurious and false signals. The A/D converter 102 converts pulse amplitude information to a digital signal which represents the instantaneous amplitude present in the channel. This instantaneous amplitude is sampled on a periodic basis such as every 20 nanoseconds or every 50 nanoseconds. The digital amplitude information is transferred to pulse detection module 104 which is used to detect the arrival of a pulse, when a pulse is stable and when a pulse has terminated. The arbitration module 106 uses this information to eliminate false pulses. After the arbitration is complete, the digital information representing the received pulse is transferred to the parameter measurement block 110. This block determines the time of arrival, pulse amplitude and time of departure of a particular signal. This determination is made in real time which allows accurate and consistent representation of those parameters. There are 96 of the parameter measurement modules 110. Parameter calculations such as angle of arrival, frequency, pulse width and pulse repetition interval are made in parameter calculator 112. An environmental filter can be located in the parameter calculator 112 or it can be a separate environmental filter module shown as module 114. The environmental filtering is not performed in real time as indicated in FIG. 2. The environmental filter screens out pulse descriptor words for signals of interest and rejects signals not of interest. At this stage in the architecture, the 96 outputs of the parameter measurement modules 110 are combined into fours to produce, for example, 24 outputs. Eight of these outputs are combined together and there are three parameter calculation modules 112 each having eight inputs and one output. The parameter calculators are not required to calculate their pulse parameters in non-real time in order to reduce the number of resources thereby reducing cost, weight and power. After the channels have been combined by the pulse calculators, which can contain environmental filters, the signal is passed through the environment filter 114 to screen out signals that are not of interest and target signals that are of interest. A pulse descriptor word is shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 shows an example bit map for a pulse descriptor word. The bit map shows four segments, namely segment 60, 62, 64 and 66. Each segment is 32 bits long with the most significant bit on the left and the least significant bit on the right. In the following description, TOA refers to time of arrival, AOA refers to angle of arrival, F corresponds to frequency, PA refers to pulse amplitude and PW refers to pulse width. Segment 60 has 32 bits of TOA information and segment 62 has 7 bits of AOA information. One bit is set to zero, four of the bits are not used, and 20 of the bits are for frequency information. Segment 64 has 32 bits of pulse amplitude information, 8 bits for Sector A, 8 bits for Sector B, 8 bits for Sector C and 8 bits for Sector D. The sectors correspond to the channelizers 94, 96, 98 and 100. Segment 66 has 16 bits that are used as flags and 16 bits that are used as pulse width information. The most significant bits for the TOA, AOA, F, PA and PW are on the left and the least significant bits are on the right. As shown, the pulse descriptor word in total contains a large amount of information. It is not necessary to use all of that information to identify pulse descriptor words that should be eliminated or identified for special treatment.
FIG. 4 is a prior art diagram of a window addressable memory (WAM) that has been used to identify pulse descriptor words with particular pulse characteristics. WAM 68 accept input PDW data in parallel via lines 70. A typical WAM has 16 windows. Shown in FIG. 4 are windows 72 and 74. Window 76 is designated as N or the last window in the module. Each window is 32 bits long and 2 bits high. When pulse descriptor word data arrives, the data is transferred in parallel through all the windows of the filter. As the data passes through each window, the WAM looks to see if the data falls within the high and low window limits of any of the windows. If there is a match between the input PDW data and the preprogrammed window data then a true signal appears on the match lines designated as outputs 78, 80 and 82. This type of filter is limited in space in that there are only 16 windows. This is inconvenient because in a particular environment, the radar receiver will operate most efficiently if it can eliminate a great number of signals and at the same time identify important signals for special handling. These needs may far exceed the 16 windows that are available. The parameters of the WAM are inflexible in that the definition of the window limits are not programmable and are fixed by hard-wired connection. The WAM's define a limited number of discrete pulse descriptor word parameters that can be identified at any given time.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the environmental filter of the present invention. The environmental filter comprises range and resolution transform modules 130, 132, 134, 136 and 138. Each of these modules is programmable as will be discussed later. Data selecter 150 accepts the outputs of all five of the range and resolution transforms and puts a 12 bit data word out on line 152. The filter look-up table 154 compares the data on line 152 with the data in the look-up table and outputs either a zero or a one. A zero indicates that there is no correlation between the data in the look-up table 154 and the culled data from the pulse descriptor word on line 152. A one indicates that there is a match. The environmental filter 90 can filter pulse descriptor words based on frequency, angle, pulse amplitude and pulse width characteristics. There is also a provision on line 128 for other data to be filtered, if necessary. Such data could include temperature, aircraft attitude, or detected phase modulation. Frequency, angle, pulse amplitude and pulse width data from the pulse descriptor word are fed into range and resolution transforms 130, 132, 134 and 136 respectively on lines 120, 122, 124 and 126. Other information relating to the pulse descriptor word can be fed to range and resolution transformer 138 on line 128. The frequency information fed to range and resolution transformer 130 on line 120 consists of 20 bits of frequency information. It was predetermined that the maximum number of bits that would be necessary to screen the frequency characteristics of a PDW would be 12 bits. Therefore, the 20 bits of information on line 120 are reduced to 12 bits of consecutive frequency information on line 140. Similarly, the 7 bits of angle information on line 122 is reduced to 4 bits on output line 142. The 8 bits of pulse amplitude information on lines 124 are reduced to 4 bits on lines 144. The 16 bits of pulse width information on lines 126 is reduced to 4 bits of pulse width information on lines 146. The respective outputs on lines 140, 142, 144, 146 and 148 represent the maximum number of bits for each particular parameter that it is necessary to look at to be able to screen any pulse descriptor word of interest. It is important to note that the range and resolution transformers 130, 132, 134, 136 and 138 are programmable. For instance, the 20 bits of frequency information on line 120 will be reduced as to as much as 12 bits on line 140. The range in resolution block 130 can select any 12 consecutive bits from the information on line 120. For instance, it could select 12 consecutive bits starting at the least significant bit and moving up or it could select 12 consecutive bits starting at the most significant bit and going down. The selection of 12 consecutive bits could start at any point where there is room to finish. Also, the range and resolution transform 130 can select any number of consecutive bits between 0 and 12. For instance, if only 6 bits of frequency information were necessary to identify the particular waveform characteritic then the range and resolution transform 130 could select bits 7-12 or 3-8 as desired. Also, if the most significant of the 20 input bits are not used, a ceiling function is applied such that if the magnitude of the input word is greater than the capacity of the output word, the output word will be forced to all ones. The same sort of selection process is possible in the other range and resolution transforms 132, 134, 136, and 138. Non-linear transforms are also possible. For example, the 16 bits of PW can be completely transformed into 4 bits by using an offset priority encoder such that the output code indicates the most significant input that is a one.
The data selected by the range and resolution transforms 130-138 is output on lines 140-148. These lines are connected to the input of data selecter 150. The data selecter further reduces the number of bits that have been selected. There is a maximum of a 12 bit parallel output on line 152. These bits can represent a wide range of combinations of the bits input on line 140-148. For instance, these 12 bits could represent 6 bits of frequency information, 3 bits of angle information and 3 bits of pulse width information. It could also represent, for example, 2 bits of frequency information, 4 bits of angle information and 3 bits of pulse amplitude information and 3 bits of pulse width information. As long as the total number of used bits is 12 or less, any combination is possible. Next, there is a comparison of this 12 bit word to the information contained in the filter look-up table 154. The filter look-up table 154 is programmable and can contain up to 4,096 bit combinations that can correspond up to 4,096 pulse descriptor word parameter characteristics. The environmental filter can be used to filter out specific pulse descriptor words that are unwanted, identify pulse descriptor words that are of a particular interest or it can identify only specific pulse descriptor words and cause all other pulse descriptor words to be rejected. The number of possible look-up combinations can be easily increased by making the table larger and selecting more bits via data selecter 150. This invention provides a significant amount of flexibility for an environmental filter. This is accomplished through the programmability of the range and resolution transforms, the data selecter and the filter look-up table.
It is believed that the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention is sufficient in detail to enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention. However, it is expressly understood that the details of the elements that are presented are not intended to limit the scope of the invention inasmuch as equivalence to those elements and other modifications thereof all of which come within the scope of the invention, become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this specification. Thus, the invention is to be broadly construed within the full scope of the appended claims.

The dryly witty new FOX TV show Glee has received critical acclaim for its ability to juggle American Idol-esque performances with an engaging plot -- all while dealing with issues such as teen pregnancy and adolescent homosexuality.
But this week's episode added another layer to the already controversial mix: drug use. More specifically, drug use painted in a not-entirely-negative light.
To foster motivation to practice, the glee club coach pitted the boys against the girls in a peformance competition. The school nurse gave the lead male an off-label dose of pseudoephedrine-enhanced cold medicine to help give him a boost (the stress of attending to his pregnant girlfriend was sapping his energy). She referred to it as a "vitamin," but the viewers at home were aware that the pills are actually one of the primary ingredients in crystal methamphetamine.
The pills gave our hero a burst of frantic energy -- and, therefore a competitive edge -- so he shared them with his fellow singers. In order to keep up, the girls decided to get their own doses from the nurse. Both sides ended up getting rave reviews from the teacher and judge, which, in essence, condoned their prescription drug use.
Eventually the show got around to reprimanding the kids for taking the drugs (as did the nurse who dispensed them), but it was too little too late.
It's not a stretch to say the show painted pseudoephedrine in a positive light, and one wonders how parents will react to Glee's approach to teenage drug use.
Many states have passed laws forbidding the sale of certain cold medicines in large quantities, and some require a signature and formal identification to buy just one box. But those laws are only meant to prevent meth labs from getting the ingredients they need to produce the drug. What about kids who see this episode of Glee and are tempted to reach for the cold medicine -- which may already be sitting in their family's medicine cabinet -- to give themselves an advantage?
Some reviews have said the show's anti-drug message was stronger than any pro-drug signals it may have sent. Other blogs addressing this week's Glee aren't so sure.
Do you think the episode glorified the use of drugs? Chime in below!

Reviving the Dead Ladies at Rockford YWCA
Reviving the Dead Ladies, a skit revisiting the First National Womens Rights Convention of 1850, will be presented by the Rockford Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) on Tuesday, Aug. 26 at the Rockford YWCA at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served.
The presentation, in celebration of Womens Equality Day (signing of the
19th amendment giving women the right to vote), will take the audience back to 1850 through the words of some of the courageous women who dared to flaunt society with their demands for equal rights with men. At that time, women could not own property and were allowed no voice in government. They had no right to an education and had no right to vote.
1850 press coverage called the convention that awful combination of Socialism, Abolitionism and Infidelity, while accusing the women of being the Pantalets Striking for the Pantaloons. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and Lucretia Mott, among others, will appear in period dress, calling for the enlargement of the Sphere of Women.
American Association of University Women is a national organization that promotes equity for all women and girls, lifelong education and positive societal change. Members in the Rockford Branch live in Rockford, Roscoe, Rockton, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Caledonia, and Belvidere.
For more information, please call the Rockford YWCA 986-1707.

Time Magazine journalist, Amanda Ripley, examines the superpowers of education thru the stories of 3 American foreign exchange students. Kim goes to Finland, Tom to Poland, and Eric to South Korea. She asks why do US students continue to lag behind other developed countries.
So, do you think parental involvement with extracurricular activities helps children in school? actually there is a slight negative correlation with parental extracurricular involvement and children's education scores. However, reading to your kids, or reading at home (books, magazines) and discussing books, social issues, etc with your kids, is associated with higher educational scores.
Why is education so under-valued in the US? and why does this field get so much more respect in other developed countries? Why do we as Americans think Mathematics is really an optional topic. An interesting example was of the Bama pie making factory. They couldn't find smart enough people to work in their factory, so they opened another factory in Poland (okay, they can probably get skilled and cheap labor there). Another example, was that even Head of Maintenance jobs require a fair amount of skill these days. One needs to be able to be able to read blue-prints, perform applied mathematical equations, motivate subordinates, and communicate well, including writing reports.
I wish she has examined the effect of students studying in groups. I had one prof who clearly believed in it, and it was a practice that I took up, finding other motivated students to study with.
She claims to only be transmitting information, and letting the reader decide, but she does seem to have a something of political agenda (though it is neither right nor left). She advocates stronger requirements for both teachers (of which we seem to have a plethora) and for students to pass classes. She dismisses technology and gadgets.
