Introduction Courses (4)
This course will introduce the practices that are fundamental to successful project management in a broad range of industry environments. The student will be introduced to the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in this fast growing professional field including project planning, scheduling, managing cost, quality, and risk, while monitoring the influences that can affect project scope and eventual project success. The challenges of working with diverse teams of internal and external resources will be explored through activities and interaction with distributed teams. The goal of this course is to give the student a sense of confidence in bringing projects to a successful close in any professional setting.
This course provides an overview of productive reflective practice as applied to project management and the process of completing the Master of Science in Project Management program at City University of Seattle. Topics include design and maintenance of the project management notebook; PM leadership skills; using reflective practice; understanding the various forms of reflective process and how they apply to problem solving; moving the project through its life cycle; understanding ISO standards as applied to PM; the basic elements of a project and what is required to successfully manage complex projects; building an ethical PM Community of Practice (CoP); and maintaining a project's social and relationship capital network.
Core Courses (19)
Effective planning is central to project management success. This course will examine project scope and schedule development processes based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Advanced schedule development processes will be addressed, enabling the student to create a Work Breakdown Structure and to define and sequence activities into a project schedule. Scheduling techniques such as the use of activity calendars and the application of baselines for analyzing schedule performance against plan will be covered. The student will also explore the basic concepts of portfolio management, the use of project control techniques in managing multiple projects, and learn how to make effective project presentations. The assignments and core concepts in PM 504 are continued in PM 507. Prerequisites: PM 501.
When the interdependencies of projects are not managed well, the result is always decreased organizational performance. This course reviews organizational best practices regarding the disciplines of portfolio management, program management, and project management, focusing specifically on the differences between program and project processes, tools, measures, and metrics. Students examine the tools and techniques that, when effectively used to manage a set of interdependent projects as a single program, result in improved business performance and keep projects aligned with organizational goals and strategy. From a portfolio perspective, the student will learn industry-proven approaches to ensure that an organization is investing in the right set of projects and programs that provide maximum return to an organization given both budget and resource constraints.
Cost, scope, and schedule are considered the triad of project management. This course is a continuation of PM 504 and will focus on the cost leg of that triangle and earned value management. Project activity-based financial principles will be presented to support the assignment of resource and cost loaded schedules for performing budget planning and estimating. You will learn cost estimating methods, budgeting, performance measurement and controls, as well as various project financial management terms, techniques, and tools and how to apply them in managing the various phases of a typical project. Topics will include an introduction to ANSI 748 Earned Value Standards. You will resource and cost load the schedule you developed in PM 504 and experiment with methods to deal with changes that affect the successful outcome of your project. Prerequisites: PM 501 and PM 504.
Organizations are complex with a multitude of business activities being executed every day. Undergirded by the notion of general systems theory, this course provides business fundamentals for project managers. Students learn about business strategy, marketing, voice-of-the-customer, finance and accounting, operations, and human resource management. Understanding these fundamentals allows project managers to better deploy tools and techniques of the discipline (such as a project's business case, cash flow management plan, risk-mitigation strategy, schedule) and bridge the divide between customer needs, business goals, and project planning, designing, developing, and implementing. Further, students will be exposed to the effective use and management of vendors, partners, and contractors and their implications relative to decision-making, legal, and ethical concerns.
Ensuring project health is a vital concern for all project managers. This certification course focuses on the underlying business goals that drive the need for projects. The course is designed to help project managers develop and implement a set of performance measures that evaluate and facilitate achievement of goals for the project and the business. Students will learn to integrate the historic triple constraint project performance measures (time, budget, and quality) with a larger set of business measures specific to operational and customer needs that together can define a successful project. Through this process of measuring performance, students learn how to determine and integrate appropriate performance targets, measures and metrics, then detail the means to collect baseline and actual performance data necessary to measure, analyze, trend and report findings and recommendations to project stakeholders. Prerequisites: PM 501.
The work of a project manager is continually challenging and situational based upon the broader business context in which a project operates. This integration course is conducted using multiple simulations that allow students to apply critical elements of project management in a variety of real-world scenarios and situational contexts. Applying knowledge from prior coursework in simulations will build practical understanding and integration of core project management tools and activities. In concert with the simulations, students are professionally facilitated through a process of reflective learning about the simulations, the project management discipline, and their planned career. The integrative learning summarizes the prior course work while preparing students for the remaining courses in the master's program. Upon completion of this course, the student will be eligible for the Graduate Certificate in Project Management and ready to proceed toward higher levels of learning in the MSPM degree program. Prerequisites: PM 501, PM 504.
In this course students begin their work on the Master of Science in Project Management (MSPM) capstone project. They will construct elements of the Project Management Notebook (PMNB)/e-portfolio as the capstone project moves through the initiation and planning phases, as well as plan the content for the execution and closeout phases of the capstone project. Prerequisites: PM 501, PM 504, PM 507, and PM 602.
Mastery Courses (22)
Application of project management practices, methods, processes, and tools can vary significantly across industry sectors and business context (such as product, service or infrastructure development). The same is true concerning other environmental factors affecting the project such as where a project manager intercepts the project or program (beginning, middle, or project recovery), the velocity of implementation (industry typical lifecycle or fast-track), and whether it is a domestic or international project. This course explores the commonalities and differences in applying project management principles given these varying business and environmental factors, future trends in project and program management, and critical skills and competencies that are needed today and in the future for leaders to succeed. A personal skills inventory and leadership assessment by each student is a component of this course. Prerequisites: PM 505, PM 509.
Communication is the glue that holds project teams and organizations together. Thus being a successful project manager means being an effective communicator. This course introduces communication strategies and proven techniques especially valuable in addressing the challenging dynamics of stakeholder interaction. The aim is to improve communication skills and increase clarity, relevance, and precision in communication to better interact among a diverse workforce and set of stakeholders. Students learn how to tailor project messaging and its timing to meet the needs of varying stakeholders (senior managers, team members, functional managers, customers, vendors, and partners). Importantly, students learn how communication can facilitate decision-making processes, negotiations between competing stakeholder objectives, and keep alignment between project outcomes and business goals.
Many projects today are managed on a global scale. This scale is very different than the much smaller, and less dynamic, domestic scale. With the expanded global marketplace, a project manager's ability to lead geographically distributed teams has become a critical skill. Successful project managers understand the dynamics of teams – domestic and global – and can deploy necessary strategies, tactics, and situational leadership techniques to build an effective project team. This course focuses on how to build and sustain alignment among team members by focusing on improved coordination, communication, and collaboration among team members regardless of geographical location.
Risks associated with cost, schedule, quality, and performance are prevalent in project work and therefore need to be managed. This course exposes students to a plethora of project risks and the means for effective mitigation. Specifically, students will investigate principle theories and practices of risk management to learn the latest techniques for identifying, assessing, and evaluating trade-offs to manage the various types of risk associated with a project. These theories and practices will help students plan and predict potential project issues and have ready-to-implement mitigation plans if and when risk events materialize. From such work, students will learn about the impact of project risk as it relates to the probability of failure to achieve the business goals associated with the project and further determine the potential damage it has to the overall organization. Opportunity risk is also evaluated as it relates to project selection within the portfolio management process and toward achievement of strategic advantage for a business.
The focus of this course is essentially decision making. Effectiveness regarding decisions starts with an understanding of organizational culture, power streams, and political structures. Students learn how to identify all organizational stakeholders (inside and outside the organization) associated with a project or program, analyze and assess stakeholder objectives, and then develop a stakeholder management plan that satisfies the needs of influential stakeholders while managing their competing objectives against the objectives of the project and business. Further, this course evaluates the sources of organizational politics and power struggles, and the resulting impact on a project or program. Students learn to master techniques to work appropriately based on the cultural pressures of the organization and reduce the negative impact of organizational politics. This ability allows project managers to foresee and overcome obstacles by building relationships within the complexity of organizations.
This course ensures a 'master level' understanding of key tools and project management methodologies in the project and program manager's toolbox. Students will first learn to evaluate the use of various project management methodologies (waterfall, agile, six sigma, PRINCE) to use in varying business and project situations. The student will then learn how to evaluate and select the right suite of project management tools based upon what is being measured, project or program structures, local or distributed team environments, and alignment of tools to business goal achievement. Both strategic tools (portfolio maps, roadmaps, complexity assessments, strategy alignment matrices) and operational tools (budget reports, time management tools, program maps, project dashboards) will be applied in this course. Prerequisites: PM 501, PM 504, and PM 507.
Organizations cannot remain static in today's ever-changing business environments. To do so would result in business failure. Projects and project managers aim to address this concern. With the understanding that projects are change endeavors, project managers are change agents and are looked to for leadership in times of business transition. With focus on diagnosing the root causes and need for organizational change, the personal psychology of change, and why change efforts commonly fail, this course enables the student to be an effective contributor and change agent in a constantly changing organization. To accomplish this aim, various organizational change management and business transition theories, concepts, techniques, and interventions are explored. Each student will define differing change management approaches most effectively applied in varying organizational situations and will create a business transition and change management strategy along with an integrated project plan and schedule that addresses the need for change and its interdependencies in complex business systems of today.
This course will conclude the implementation of project work using the applied action learning method. Emphasis will be placed on lessons learned throughout the program as you have implemented project phases. You will reflect on the results of your project and create a plan for continued project iterations that will support your efforts after you have completed the program. This course will serve as the final checkpoint for your project e-portfolio and personal action plan progress. Prerequisites: All courses in MSPM should be completed or in process when this course is taken.

(Fri., March 4, 2011)—Due to the temporary partial closure of Fort Weaver Road in the makai-bound (inbound to Ewa) direction between Aawa Drive and Renton Road, City bus routes E, 42, 44, 91, 101, 201 will not service the makai-bound bus stops at Old Fort Weaver Road, Ewa Family Center, and mauka of Renton Road (Zippy's).
The Fort Weaver Road bus stops located at Hawaii Medical Center West and makai of Renton Road will operate normally and the stop makai of Renton Road will also service Route E. Route 44 will not operate on Old Fort Weaver Road as it is also closed. Route 44 will instead use Fort Weaver Road mauka of Aawa Drive.
The State Department of Transportation today announced the temporary partial closure of Fort Weaver Road due to downed utility poles. Makai-bound traffic is being maintained by contra-flowing one of the mauka-bound lanes on Fort Weaver Road, but drivers are recommended to detour to Kualakai Parkway (North-South Road).
This detour is expected to last through the afternoon peak period today.
The City Department of Transportation Services is working with the State Department of Transportation to adjust traffic signal timing to expedite traffic using the Kualakai Parkway route.

With many celebrities on hand, Wizard World Austin Comic Con is an autograph collector's dream. From comic book legend Stan Lee to Norman Reedus of "The Walking Dead" to icon William Shatner, scoring that big signature at the Austin Convention Center is only the beginning.
True collectors understand the importance of a Certificate of Authenticity, especially from a third-party. COA's help not only add marketability to the autograph today, but help maintain the value of the autograph for generations to come. Not to mention, the benefit added should you ever need to file an insurance claim (fire, flood, robbery, etc.). Proper insurance and validation, like a Certificate of Authenticity, covers your item for the current market value and not just the amount you paid for the autograph. A Certificate of Authenticity from Genuine COA is the ultimate protection for the value of your autograph.
Wizard World is proud to present Genuine COA, offering true third-party witnessing with on-site Certificates of Authenticity and an online database with the signing information for your autographed memorabilia.
So preserve the value of your autographs and look for the "Real or Fake?" on the Genuine COA booth (#439) at Wizard World Austin Comic Con. Save money with online ordering before the event at http://tiny.cc/GenuineCOA_Discounts and receive discounted pricing.
Genuine COA is an autograph witnessing service and cannot issue the Certificate of Authenticity without witnessing the autograph. Before You Get It Signed, Get A Witness!

Lucky Day for Brother and Sister!
Cicero Residents Share $133,333 Illinois Lottery Prize
|For Immediate Release
|Contact: Karina Rosado 773-569-1342
Cicero, IL—June 16, 2014 — "My sister was my good luck charm!" Adan Aguirre said when he presented his winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket at the Illinois Lottery Prize Center in Chicago. The Cicero resident won a $133,333 jackpot prize when his Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers – 11 - 22 - 32 - 34 – 37 – in the Tuesday, May 24 evening drawing.
Aguirre was visiting his sister Diana for Memorial Day weekend when he asked her to buy him a Lucky Day Lotto ticket when she ran to the store to buy snacks. Diana did him the favor and bought one Quick Pick ticket. The next morning Aguirre used his phone to check the winning Lucky Day Lotto numbers on illinoislottery.com. When he realized he'd won, he rushed to his sister's house to share the news. "She didn't believe me, especially because it was her first time ever buying a lottery ticket!"
Aguirre, 38, was born in Mexico and raised in Chicago. He is a single dad with an 18 year-old son and eight year-old daughter. When asked about his plans for the windfall he said, "My sister and I had an agreement that if I ever won the lottery, I would share the prize with her." Both brother and sister plan to take their families on a vacation in the Caribbean.
The winning ticket was purchased at Berwyn Amoco, 3845 South Harlem Avenue in Berwyn. The retailer will receive a $1,333 bonus, equal to 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket. Three winning tickets shared the May 24 $400,000 jackpot. The other two $133,333 winning tickets were purchased at Citgo, 4901 South Central Avenue in Stickney and Bockwinkle's, 155 North Harbor Drive in Chicago.
Jackpots for Lucky Day Lotto start at $100,000. Drawings are twice a day, seven days a week with an average of 40,000 winners every day. That's over 250,000 winners in Illinois each week! For more information, please visit www.illinoislottery.com.
Founded in 1974, the Illinois Lottery has contributed over $18 billion to the state's Common School Fund to assist K-12 public schools, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars to the Capital Projects Fund and to special causes like Illinois Veterans, the fight against breast cancer, MS research, and assistance for people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition to playing in-store, the Illinois Lottery offers online and mobile play for Mega Millions, Powerball and Lotto at www.illinoislottery.com. Players must be at least 18 years old.

An Executive Summary of the organization
Identoba, was founded on the principles of inclusion by promoting acceptance of socially marginalized groups and bringing diverse communities together by showing them the power of unity, self-advocacy and mutual support. Identoba is one the largest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) rights NGO in Georgia, with the mission to promoting establishment of such a society, where sexual orientation and gender self-expression would not be the ground for discrimination, as democratic, coherent and strong society is inconceivable without full integration of LGBT people, as well as any other socially marginalized group. Identoba has three immediate objectives:
A) fostering LGBT movement and stronger LGBT community in Georgia,
B) Advocacy and lobbying of LGBT rights in Georgia and
C) Promotion of healthy sexual lifestyle among LGBT and lobbying LGBT sensitive policies.
The organization's history
Identoba was established on November, 8, 2010 following the dissolution of Inclusive Foundation, country's first LGBT organization in 2006-2010. Identoba was founded by a group of Gender Studies specialists and LGBT activists. It became operational in December 2010. International donors such as COC Netherlands (a Dutch organization for LGBT men and women) and RFSU (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) helped Identoba's organizational development.
In late 2011- early 2012 Identoba secured core funding from Open Society Foundation and was able to expand policy oriented research, policy level work and legal research and direct assistance services, in addition to engaging LGBT community and allies, media and educational work, and counseling services.
In 2012, with sensitization program for students, for the first time in Georgia, regional university students have been given the opportunity to attend lectures and discussions in their universities, participate in trainings and attend 1st national LGBT student conference.
Identoba organized Georgia's first march on May 17, 2012 for International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia that has greatly influenced both Georgian politics, as it put dividing line between politicians who have been requested to demonstrate their stance towards LGBT issues. The march was also hailed as Georgia's first LGBT pride, an important accomplishment itself.
Identoba frequently teams up with various embassies and international organization to co-organize LGBT themed events, such as LGBT film festival in June, 2012. Identoba is now starting to work in a policy field through assessing the gaps in addressing LGBT issues in existing practices and policies. Identoba has gained access to Georgian prisons, with the support of Ministry of Penitentiary and Legal Assistance and plans to conduct a baseline study about the situation of MSM (men who have sex with men) in Georgian prisons. The study which is supported by Swiss embassy will serve as a baseline resource for developing recommendations and policies for the government to address the violation of the rights of MSM in prison, as well as to take appropriate measures for preventing HIV and STI (sexually transmitted infections) transmission.
Identoba is widely recognized by the community, donors and local non-profits and international missions and representations as the LGBTQI organization who works to promote LGBT cause in the country. It researches and engages LGBT community. The scope of the organization's work spans areas as diverse as community empowerment programs, training programs, educational activities, supportive consultation, rights advocacy, legal representation, media work and research.
Identoba researches hate crimes and hate speech against individuals and groups having different identities and organizes campaigns to counter these problems. It provides equal rights and opportunities to LGBTQI individuals and strives for their integration into Georgian society.

I took some time to post my tentative schedule for Affiliate Summit East with my Daily Guides. Those were wishful thinking because once you get to the conference so many other things happen that you don't have time to do what you originally thought but it's always good to be flexible and have an idea of what you want to get out of the conference. This one did not disappoint. Here are some of the highlights from Affiliate Summit East in New York.
Some of the early birds came into town and we grabbed dinner at the Tipsy Parson. Wade Tonkin the Ultimate Foodie put this group together and it was a delightful restaurant recommended also by the local NYC: Village Vines. Then Angel Djambazov was with me on my mission to complete the new Micro Media Marketing business cards. The MMM new website is up as well! We offer Social Media Solutions for affiliate marketers.
Audience was a fantastic event. The highlight from this show had to be @harrisoncomedy. If you are ever in NY you should check him out what a comedic genius. Then we got to hear from the audience and Shawn Collins grabbed the mic that was awesome and a great way to start the pre-Affiliate Summit East.
The Meet Market Tables were packed. I was live tweeting for one of my clients, @eAccountableOPM as we posted all of our giveaways and winners. That was action packed and lots of fun. The highlight pic if you didn't notice it online was Peter Bordes, Scott Parent, and I kicking it back in our chucks. We conference the right way in NYC walking comfort.
Exhibit hall, affiliate showcase, and sessions oh my! Once Monday rolls around the conference gets serious. I started my day with an 8am breakfast followed by a power nap. The affiliate showcase was a hit again and the perfect time for merchants to talk to key affiliates that they normally would not get the chance to sit down with.
The final day of Affiliate Summit was also full of meetings, sessions, and more exhibit hall. Mike Buechele and I did something fun we liked to call session hopping it was pretty close to bar hopping since at the Sports Marketing Session they gave out beers to the audience I'm sure it was Rubacky's idea. Correction I gave out beers to the audience in my cape. Yes I said cape.
Let's backtrack a bit. The Jim Kukral Keynote was nothing less than Super. All his Affiliate Super Friends were there to support him. Jim was a fantastic speaker and came out with his new book: Attention! This Book Will Make You Money. A HUGE THANK YOU to Karen Garcia without her none of this fun could have been possible.
To see more pics from the Affiliate Summit East conference here are the albums I put up on Facebook:

Can I tie the on/off pin of the R-78AA family to the Vin pin if Vin goes up to 32V?
The absolute maximum voltage accepted in that pin is 15V, although its not recommended to go higher than 5V. You cant connect the input directly to the control pin
How does the enable pin on the R-78AA series work?
The enable pin has two functions: Below 2.6V, the converter is OFF (the output power stage is switched off, but the converter oscillator is still running). Below 1.6V, the converter is in ultra-low power mode ( 20µA shutdown mode)
How does the enable pin on the ROF-78 work?
The enable pin on the ROF-78 has a max voltage of ~15V.
1.25V is the threshold voltage, below that voltage the converter should be OFF. Above 1.25 the converter will be ON. The 0.9V and 1.55V values are recommended safety values to ensure that below 0.9 it will be OFF, and 1.55V it will be ON.
In short, if you want to ensure that the device is on continuously, apply >1.55V to the EN pin all the time
Is there a minimum load requirement for the R-78 series?
It is recommended that the R-78 series of switching converters is used with a minimum load of 6mA to guarantee that the output is stable under all operating conditions.
For the RPP series why thermal impedance is better when mounted vertically rather than horizontally?
In vertical mounting the air flows under the converter so there is a chimney effect, in horizontal mounting there is very little movement of air under the converter. With standard converters the movement of air under the converter has little effect on the derating graph, but the RPP series sandwiches the transformer between the top and bottom of the case and uses both surfaces to transfer heat making it more noticeable.
What are the maximum capacitive loads recommended for the RPP30 and RPP20 converters?
For low ripple/noise, 1µF MLCC is recommended fitted as close to the output pins as possible.
There is no practical limit for the main output capacitor, but to be safe, anything up to 0.1F is ok. If the tracks or wires leading from the converter output to the bulk capacitor are long, then a 1R resistor in series with the capacitor is recommended to dampen any oscillation.
Why the RAC04 series doesnt have the -E (extended lower temperature range) option?
The RAC04 family already works at -40degC (extended temperature), so it doesnt need the additional suffix (-E).
Does the isolation apply to both high and low side between the input and output?
The isolation is tested with the inputs shorted together and the outputs shorted together and then the test voltage is applied between the input and output side. In this way the insulation is tested for all possible pathways between input and output, so the value applies equally for the low side and high side input.
What is the minimum load for the converters?
RECOM converters dont have a minimum load required for operation, although in some families some specifications may be out of range below 10% load.
Will your converters operate the above operating temperature range?
Yes, if they are derated (not used at full power). However, the simpler low cost converters have no overtemperature protection. If they are used outside of the temperature specification for a long period of time, they may fail. Our higher power converters are fitted with over temperature protection. If they overheat they will simply shut down.
Do all your converters include input surge protection?
No, not all of our converters include input surge protection, for those who do not state that input surge protection is included on their datasheets we suggest you use a suppression diode and/or an input capacitor as input surge protection.
How do I interface a dual supply (AC and DC inputs)?
A simple solution is to automatically switch inputs using a mains-powered relay. The AC/DC converter does not mind having a DC voltage on its output when it is not powered up (this is a useful feature that enables, for example, a board to be powered up and tested on a bench using a safe DC supply and then only plugged into the mains when the unit has been reassembled into its case).
Do you have an On/Off control pin in the RCD-24 series?
The PWM-control pin can be used as remote control pin as well. It means you can switch the unit on/off via this pin. Switching level is TTL compatible and has hysteresis to allow slow switching waveforms.
I am using my own discrete solution to drive my LED's, why should I change it to your LED driver?
The RCD-24 series is a All-in-One solution in a small package with high efficiency, wide input range, two different ways of dimming Analog and Digital (PWM), high operating temperature range, and it's fully tested. You don't have to worry about all different suppliers of all the components of your discrete solution.
Can I get a negative output out of the switching regulator?
Yes you can. Please refer to the Innoline Application Notes and find our recommended circuits to get a negative output from each series of our Switching Regulator families.
What type of capacitors do you recommend with the R-78 series? Are ceramics ok, or do you recommend tantalum?
Type is not critical. Actually, a lower quality, relatively high ESR capacitor on the input is actually an advantage as its internal resistance helps damp down any switch-on surge oscillations, so a ceramic input capacitor is overkill! Tantalum or electrolytic are therefore recommended for both input and output capacitors.
Recommended capacitor types are 3.3µF/50V Electrolytic on the input and 100µF/6V Electrolytic on the output.
Can I use a bigger capacitor in my output circuit?
Higher capacitance is allowed, but the capacitor may discharge back into the output of the converter if the input supply is suddenly removed. If the power supply input voltage decays gradually when powered down, then even 1000µF is ok. If the input voltage is suddenly disconnected, then the converter could be damaged by the reverse current flowing back into the output.
The suggested 220µF maximum output capacitance for the R-78 series is to help to protect the converter against reverse currents.
Why do I need an input capacitor?
The input capacitor is required only if the input voltage can exceed 26VDC, otherwise it can be omitted.
Do I need any external converters for the R-78 family?
No external components are needed. An input capacitor is recommended only if the input voltage exceeds 26V. An output capacitor helps reduce output ripple further, but the ripple is relatively low anyway.
In the Innoline series, how does the continuous short circuit protection operate?
The Innoline series all use intelligent controllers that measure the output current on each switching cycle (Current Mode Control). If the output is overloaded, the converter will deliver the over-current until either the converter overheats and shuts itself down (thermal protection) or the load current exceeds the safe limits. If the output is short circuited, the controller shuts down the output drive circuitry. The output condition is continuously monitored and the converter automatically restarts.
Why should I replace my cheap Linear Regulators for a more expensive Switching Regulator (R-78 series)?
The R-78 costs more than a linear regulator because it is intelligent. It may look similar to a three-pin linear regulator, but inside is a controller chip that protects the converter against overload, over temperature and short circuits. This makes it very robust and hard-to-kill.
Even if the converter itself costs more, the savings that can be made in the primary power supply (because it needs less output current), assembly (because there is no fiddly heatsink, screw, nut and thermal paste to worry about) and inventory (one part rather than 7 parts with the linear regulator + heatsink + mounting + input and output capacitors) mean that the overall power supply cost can be lower with the R-78 than with the "cheap" linear regulator.
In the Econoline unregulated series (/P option), how does the continuous short circuit protection operate?
If the output is overloaded, the FET series resistor limits the maximum output current. But if the output is short circuited (<0.1 Ohm), an additional mechanism comes into effect: The magnetic coupling between the primary winding and the feedback winding is disturbed by the shorted secondary winding. The result is to reduce the output current still further to create a current fold back characteristic. Once the short is removed, the magnetic coupling between the primary and feedback coils is re-established and the converter reverts to normal operation.
In the Econoline regulated series, how exactly does the current limiting function operate?
A series resistor in the main FET driver circuit acts as a current sensor. As the FET source current increases, so does the volt drop across this resistor. The feedback regulation circuit is referenced to the series resistor rather than to GND, so as the resistor voltage increases, the converter is automatically throttled back. The net effect is that the combination of output voltage sense and input current sense creates a feedback system with approximately constant power.
What process do you use to remove the air bubbles from the converter? Are the converters Vacuum potted?
The converters are not vacuum potted because we use a special process to remove the air bubbles. The process is as follows:
1- The two component epoxy is mixed and placed under a vacuum for 1 minute to remove any air bubbles created by the mixing process.
2- The plastic case is 1/3 filled with epoxy and allowed to rest
3- The pre-tested converter pcb is inserted into the case and 2/3 filled with epoxy and allowed to rest
4- The part completed converters are placed in a warm oven (30°C) for 20 minutes to allow any air bubbles to rise to the top.
5- The case is sealed with a harder grade of epoxy and baked at 50°C for one hour to cure.
2- In addition, spot checks are made with our X-ray machine to monitor and ensure that air voids are not present in any of our converters.
What's the linearity range of the dimming function?
The linearity outside the 10~90% range of the PWM dimming is not perfect, but still pretty good. The Analog dimming can be used in a 0~100% range.
How does the Analog dimming function work?
The analog voltage is used to control an internal PWM circuit.
Does the AC/DC family have a thermal protection?
The controller IC has an internal thermal shutdown at 135°C (-10°/+15°C). Once in thermal protection, the controller IC must cool down below 65°C before it will restart.
Do the AC/DC converters need any external components?
All AC/DC converters contain built-in mains filters, so no external components are necessary. However, some uses require an input fuse, which must be added externally. The –ST option (converters pre-mounted on an insulated PCB with screw terminal input and output connections) also contain an input fuse as standard.
In the Powerline series, how does the continuous short circuit protection operate?
The Powerline series all use hiccup overload protection. If the output is overloaded or short circuited, the output is turned off to protect the converter. After a short delay, the output is restarted. If the short circuit condition still exists, the output is again disabled. This cycle continues until the fault condition is removed. The output thus "hiccups" every half second or so.
Why does the RP40 series run hot with no load?
The higher power converters are optimized to run with the highest efficiency at full load. This means, for example, that the switching transistors need to switch very rapidly to avoid wasting power in the region between fully on and fully off. With no load, the switching drivers still run at full power which makes the converters run warm.
Why do you specify a Derating Curve?
At a certain temperature the internal heat dissipation makes impossible for the converter to supply 100% of its power and it starts to gradually provide less power as the temperature goes higher. This temperature is specified as Ambient Temperature.
I have temperature problems. Can I use a heat sink to increase the temperature range?
The converters have a derating curve that starts usually between 70°C and 85°C. From that temperature point the power is reduced linearly. You can use a heat sink to move this temperature point up a few degrees. If your application doesn't have a adequate ventilation system, even a large heat sink may not be effective. The solution would be to use a higher power converter instead.
Are all the triple outputs regulated from the Powerline series?
Only the main output is regulated. The problem with any multiple output converter is that there can only be one feedback loop, so triples have always only one regulated output, with two auxiliary unregulated low current outputs.
Can I use the Common Mode Choke used in my EMI filter to limit the Inrush current as well?
The inrush current is dependent on the converter, the load (especially the capacitive load) and the impedance of the primary power supply. Therefore, there is no recommended value for the inrush limiting inductor as this need to be individually worked out for each application. Having said that, usually 22µH~100µH works ok.
A CMC is a good inrush current limiter because the core does not go into saturation with high currents (the +ve inrush current is balanced out by the -ve inrush current), so it has a dual purpose: EMC filter and inrush limiting. However, for high power converters it is sometimes better to use a low inductance, high current, choke that is selected to reduce inrush rather than a high inductance choke selected for the best EMC filtering because otherwise too much power could be lost through the choke's resistance during normal operation.
Do RECOM products include EMI filtering?
EMI filtering is not included inside the converters. However, an external EMI filter is suggested in our Application Notes.
Is required any input or output capacitor?
For normal function, no external capacitor is needed. For EMI filtering, consult our recommendations in our Application Notes.
I am driving ten LED's of 1Watt with your RCD-24-0.35 part using a 12V battery as input, but it's not working properly. Why?
The RCD-24 series is step-down (buck) converter. You need always a higher input voltage than the output voltage required. A high power LED usually has a forward voltage drop of around 3.4V, so only three LEDs can be driven from a 12V source. If the input voltage is increased to 24V, seven LEDs can be in the chain and if the input voltage is 36V, then ten LEDs can be driven. However, it is possible to connect chains of LEDs in parallel, so a RCD-24-7.0 can drive two chains of three 350mA LEDs connected in parallel.
Remember that this part is a constant current converter, so the output voltage is variable depending on the power needed, but it will always be lower than the input voltage.
How does the PWM dimming function work?
The controller chip has a multi-stage shutdown:
On : Open or 0V < Vr < 0.6V
minimum quiescent current - all circuits shut down - slowest restart response time
Off (Standby) : 0.6V < Vr < 2.9V
output power stage and PWM oscillator off - medium restart response time
Off (Shutdown) : 2.9V < Vr < 6V
output power stage off, all other circuits active - quickest restart response time
Do you use triple insulated wire for the RP-xxxx and RxxP(2)xx series?
We use standard coated wire with both converters because the windings are physically separated (reinforced isolation). For the RP-xxxx series the primary and the secondary are separated by a chamber system. The RxxP(2)xx series uses a two chamber system which primary and secondary windings are separated by an insulated bridge on both sides of the toroidal transformer.
Why some converters have higher Quiescent current than others? (e.g. RSZ or RY with built-in linear reg.)
A converter that uses post-regulation must be designed so that at the minimum input voltage there is enough output voltage headroom that the linear regulator can regulate properly. This means that with the nominal input voltage, there will be a higher voltage drop across the linear regulator, which in turn will increase the quiescent current drawn by the converter.
I am using one of your unregulated converter, but my output voltage is much higher than the tolerance specified in the Datasheets.
The unregulated converters have a deviation curve depending on the load. The lower the load is, the higher the output voltage. Please check the graphs included in our Datasheets about Deviation/Load. Usually, these converters need at least 20% load.
Why do you specify the Isolation for 1 second?
The isolation voltage given in the datasheets is valid for 1 second flash test only. If an isolation barrier is required for longer or infinite time the Rated Working Voltage has to be used. Recom provides a conversion table in the Application Notes.
Another useful measure is the isolation for 1 minute, which is also specified in the conversion tables provided in our Application Notes.
It is very important that you compare the same type of isolation when comparing our products with the competitors to avoid misunderstandings.
What is Isolation?
Isolation refers to the electrical separation (galvanic isolation) between the input and the output of the converter. This means that the output of an isolated converter is not linked to the input and any electrical interference, voltage differences and fault currents are blocked. This is extremely important in applications where the output circuit is connected to the "real" world and the main circuit must be separated from anything that happens to the output circuit.
I am using a 12V battery as input source. Do I need any extra components?
The main problem with a 12 battery as a power source is that it can deliver very high inrush currents. Normally with lower power converters (under 20W), this is not a problem, but for the higher power converters the inrush current can damage the converters.
The other issue with batteries is if the end-user connects the battery the wrong way around. This will instantly destroy any converter.
To avoid these problems, an external blocking diode or FET can be fitted and either a soft-start circuit or an inrush current filter can be added. Please contact Recom Technical Support for suggested circuits and component values.
What's the input quiescent current?
The current drawn by the converter when it is idle (not loaded). All converters contain oscillators that absorb power even if no power is being drawn from the converter.
I can't find information about the input quiescent current in your datasheets. Where can I get this information?
The input quiescent current can be determined using the no load power consumption spec, by dividing this value with the input voltage. If you need more information or the quiescent current for a particular operating condition, please contact Recom Technical Support
Why do I need a DC/DC converter?
There are many reasons why you should use a DC/DC converter, but the most common applications are:
- To match the loads to the power supply (e.g. to generate higher, lower or dual outputs from a single source, or to invert a supply rail.)
- To isolate primary and secondary circuits (e.g. for safety reasons or to protect a sensitive circuit from interference)
- To simplify power supplies (e.g. multiple output converters or one converter per rail (point-of-load) can reduce power supply complexity, overall cost and board space requirements while at the same time increasing flexibility, reliability and system efficiency. )
Can the converters be cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner?
Yes. They can be ultrasonically cleaned as long as the cleaning fluid used is not aggressive and does not attack any of the metal, plastic or epoxy parts.
Note: We should take into consideration that some converters have empty holes (for optional features, such as control pins), so it's possible that a small amount of cleaning fluid could wick its way through these holes and work its way under the base plate. This will not damage the converters (underneath the base plate it's completely encased in epoxy) but be aware that if the board is baked to dry it off, the temperature of the oven should remain bellow 100°C so this trapped liquid doesn't turn to steam and cause problems.
I need to clean the board before conformal coating; we are concerned about the cleaning process for the RECOM parts.
You can use a non-aggressive, non-corrosive, water-based cleaning agent. The materials used in the converters are nickel plated copper for the metal case, cured two component epoxy (XT5038-6) for the potting compound and Diallyl Phthalate (DAP 901 - also known as Duroplast) for the plastic case. All of these materials are unaffected by any of the washing liquids suitable for cleaning PCB boards and also will not react with mineral oils, water-based compounds or even most solvents used in industry.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 130°C for extended periods of time (several hours) as this is the maximum recommended use temperature of the epoxy.
Please refer to the instructions given by the conformal coating supplier regarding the recommended process for applying the coating.
We have many customers that wash their boards, both with aqueous and solvent-based washes, before applying a conformal coating or potting their completed pcb.
We have never received any complaints of chemical incompatibility or any other problems with washes or conformal coatings.
How can I clean these parts included in my board?
As with all electronic devices, strongly reactive agents in hostile environments can attack the encapsulating material and the pins, hence cleaning is recommended with inert solutions (e.g. alcohol or water based solvents) suitable for electronic components and at the temperatures recommended by the cleanser manufacturer.
Is there any RECOM part medically approved?
We provide many converters medically approved, EN-60601 certified.
Are these parts EN-55022 Class B certified?
EMI filtering is not included inside the converters. However, an external EMI filter is suggested in our Application Notes for Class A and Class B. Most converters are Class B for radiated emissions or offer the option of a shielded metal case.
Do RECOM products have certifications? What kind of certifications?
EN certificates are available for most of our converters. UL, and CSA listing for most of the higher power converters.
Do you have non-isolated converters?
All converters in the Econoline and the Powerline have isolation, only the Innoline offers non-isolated products.
What material is used in the metal case package?
Nickel plated copper.
What's the difference between unregulated and regulated converters?
An unregulated converter is a cheaper solution but offers less stability over the output voltage. The output voltage can change depending on both the load and the Input voltage variations. Therefore, the input voltage range is restricted to +/-5% or +/-10% and the output voltage can rise substantially during no-load conditions. However, even an unregulated converter offers a low +/-5% output voltage variation over the load range of 20% to 100%.
Regulated converters offer a much better load and line voltage regulation, typically less than 1%, so the output voltage is not dependant on the load or input voltage. In addition, the input voltage range is higher (2:1, 4:1 or up to 7:1 with non-isolated converters).
What measures have been taken to minimize tin whisker growth?
We use a number of tin whisker mitigation strategies, all following the Jedec JP002 guidelines:
Through Hole Devices:
The pins used in all of our through-hole converters are made of hard silver-copper alloy. The pins are then Nickel underplated to 0.5µm before being pure tin electroplated to 6µm thickness. This thickness of overplating is a compromise between reasonable manufacturing costs and having a thick enough coating to impair tin whisker formation. The surface is not 'brightened', also to mitigate tin whisker formation.
Finally the pins are annealed according to JIS C3101. This reduces any residual forming stresses, which is one of the other potential causes of tin whisker formation
Surface Mount Devices:
The carrier frames used in our SMD converters are made from DF42N nickel alloy which is pure tin plated. The pins are hot dipped in Sn-Ag-Cu solder just before injection molding.
Are RECOM parts burn-in during production?
All RECOM parts are burn-in tested in our factory before being shipped to the customer.
Are your parts short circuit protected?
All products from the Powerline and the Innoline include continuous short-circuit protection. The Econoline offers this feature as an option. Even the low power unregulated converters can provide short-circuit protection (you just need to add /P to the part number), which is a unique feature in the market for this range of products.
Do RECOM products have reverse polarity protection?
Reverse polarity protection is not built inside any of the converters. It needs to be added externally. We recommend adding an external MOSFET for higher power converters or a simple blocking diode for lower power, non-critical applications.
I need a higher power supply, can you offer something?
Our main focus is the lower power range, from 0.25Watts up to 60Watts.
Can the converter be externally synchronized?
Recom does not offer this feature in any of its converters. Synchronizing the oscillators in several converters is a useful technique where beat frequencies must be avoided at the cost of an increased amount of interference at the main frequency. Usually effective results can be achieved by individually filtering each converter without creating a strongly interfering main frequency.
Since your products are RoHS compliant, can I assume that they are Lead Free (Pb free)?
RoHS restricts the use of six hazardous materials. One of the restricted materials is Pb (Lead). Lead-free is often used (or misused) to describe RoHS compliant products. However, RoHS compliant products are not completely Pb free as impurities up to 1000ppm (0.1%) are permitted and there is an exemption allowing the use of lead in high melting point solders required for SMD converters (a suitable lead-free high melting point solder did not exist when the regulations were drafted).
A revision of the RoHS regulations is planned in 2010, when it is expected that many of the exemptions will be removed.
Are RECOM parts RoHS compliant?
All RECOM products have been RoHS compliant since November 2005. You can find the chemical analysis reports for all our products in our website by clicking on the RoHS logo, which is located on the right hand side menu in our home page (www.recom-power.com).
I need more than 24V out in my application, but I can't find anything in your catalog. How can I get this output voltage?
You can use a dual 15V output converter (+/-15V), omitting the common pin and using only the +Vout pin and –Vout pins. Dual output converters regulate between the +ve and –ve output rails only, so connection to the common pin is unnecessary for the converter to work normally. This is true of any dual output converter, so +/-5V = 10V, +/-9V = 18V, +/-12V = 24V and +/-15V = 30V.
If isolation is not required, the –ve output pin can be connected to the +ve input pin to boost a supply voltage. For example, a 12V battery feeding a 30W 12V output converter wired up this way will generate a 24V output voltage with 60W of available power (12V@30W from the battery + 12V@30W from the converter = 24V@60W)
Do you have open frame converters?
RECOM doesn't offer open frame converters. All our converters are potted or injection molded. The reasons for this are many fold; to seal the converters against high humidity, dusty or dirty environments, to achieve a better thermal management (the heat is spread more evenly within the converter and the heat is not focused at specific points), to get a better performance regarding mechanical shock and vibration and to make the converters more easily transportable and stackable.
Why does the On/Off function not work?
Different converters have different on/off control voltages. Please check the datasheets carefully before connecting the on/off pin to ground or +Vin as this can damage the converter. Some on/off pins may require additional external components if driven with a TTL level signal.
I can't find any product that meets my requirements. Can you supply a customized converter for me?
In addition to the standard ranges shown in this data book, RECOM has the capability to produce custom DC/DC converters designed to your specific requirements. In general, the parts can be quickly designed to meet any input or output voltage requirements within the ranges of RECOM standards products (i.e. up to 48V at either input or output). Prototype samples can also be produced in short timescales. See our application notes for more information or contact Recom Technical Support.

Solid album
Album Rating: 4.0Good review.
I thought my ears were gonna bleed when I finished listening to this.
Digging: FKA Twigs - LP1
Album Rating: 4.5Album is ridiculously good
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offthe only nagging issue I have with this review is the fact that Do Not Look Down is one of your top 3 tracks. I mean, wtf when there are songs like Swarm on here. wtf
but good review
Album Rating: 4.5Do Not Look Down is overshadowed by some of the other tracks on here but god that riff in it grooves so hard
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThat's all opinion brother, I love the grooves in Do Not Look Down.
Album Rating: 3.5pos
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI know it's all opinion, but your other two top tracks are spot on and then your third is my 9th or 10th favorite
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffCapt you're the best m/
@Ig, yeah I can see why you'd say that and to some extent I can agree. But still, those grooves! So catchy.
Album Rating: 3.5I would say Meshuggah is more thall than djent.
Fuck, I wanted to review this. Either way, this was superb. Well deserved pos. Edit: well that line about the vocals is a bit of a
cop out, drop a line about his range or dynamicysm. Rest was great.
Album Rating: 3.5thanks kj, you too bro m/
@Tyr - you still should bro, I've been waiting to see something from you
Meh, I'd prefer to save Sputnik one jizzfest in the shitstorm of reviews probably coming for this, might as well avoid being a
tool and whatnot. It's still in editing and covers a lot of these points anyway so it's no big deal.
Album Rating: 3.5cool I understand what you mean bro but you should still review something bro, I'll give you Abramelin if you want.
Never heard of it, but I have other ideas in the pipes. I'm not even close to done here yet. Just been busy makin' paper.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off"Either way, this was superb. Well deserved pos. Edit: well that line about the vocals is a bit of a cop out"
...I thought the same thing too and was going to elaborate more, but then chose not to to keep the review short and concise so people would actually read it. lol. Glad you liked it though, Tyr.
Album Rating: 3.5bro you did a really good job on this review, it was really easy to read
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThanks man, hopefully this doesn't get deleted again since the release date still says the 27th on Sputnik.
Album Rating: 3.0Ha, your recommended tracks are exactly the list of tracks that I think are amazing. Same order too. The other stuff is either just average or has a cool section and then turns into crap or simply gets boring.
Pretty good review. Pos.

Shotgun shoots Harlem man as booby trap
Authorities were looking Monday for the person they say rigged a man's shotgun to shoot him when he came home Sunday.
Keith Eric Lyons, 43, of Harlem, called 911 just before 8 p.m. after being shot in the head by his own gun in what appeared to be a booby trap.
Lyons, who was out of state for a week, opened the back door to his South Hicks Street home and was shot by his .20-gauge shotgun. It had been mounted to the kitchen counter top, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident report.

The citation is for a county ordinance violation and will be adjudicated in Magistrate's Court.

Comments: The Best Young Wide Receiver that No one is Talking About
Players listed in this article:
I loved Ace Sanders coming into this season. A Marqise Lee and an Allen Robinson later and my enthusiasm has diminished almost completely.
FFMagicMan 05/22/14 09:47 PM
I hear you, but I don't expect that to hurt him too much. You had to assume the Jags would go get a WR in the draft. Everybody is excited right now after the draft, but historically the odds of 2 2nd round WR's probably won't be that productive. WR's tend to take a little longer much like Patterson and Austin last year. I also don't really like Lee all that much. I expect Sanders to start, be used all over the field, and perform well. I only put so much stock in rookies.
Mark Morales-Smith 05/23/14 08:16 AM
You said that perhaps most importantly of all, the Jags drafting Auburn's Greg Robinson will be a big deal. I don't think he's going to affect the Jags too much since he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams.
I know it's an easy mistake, but really, there's so much talk of Chad Henne being the starter for all of year one (and I'm not a believer in Henne Given Sunday) and their offensive line is still that anemic line from last year.
Is there any reason to see Henne for Henne, Gerhart for MJD, same offensive line to be an overall improvement over last year's horrendous offense?
bradleykirksey 05/23/14 07:15 PM
I'm sorry I don't know how I did that. Must have been out of my mind I meant to write about Brandon Linder. I really like him. I also have some Miami bias haha... I know about all the talk with Bortles sitting this season, I just don't see it lasting very long.
Mark Morales-Smith 05/24/14 06:51 AM
Who knows how true it is, but the buzz these days seems to be that Sanders is on the bubble to even make the roster.
mitchconnor 06/08/14 05:07 PM
I haven't heard that, I cant imagine Lamaar Thomas gets a roster spot over him. If it is true getting out of Jacksonville isn't really a bad career move for anybody... Mitch Connor? Are you Mitch Connor the run of the mill con-man who's been moving from town to town, scamming people since you were 15, but you're tired of running?
Mark Morales-Smith 06/08/14 06:10 PM
I wonder...will I dream?
mitchconnor 06/08/14 10:18 PM
hahahahaha LOVE IT!

Yesterday, Danger & Play tweeted a link to this article, which criticized Fat Shaming Week:
I left a comment on the post, but it seems it has not made it through moderation. So here it is, for your reading pleasure:
On behalf of the Manosphere/Fat Shaming Week, I'd just like to point out that we do care a great deal about the health of obese people and their negative effect on our economy and society. It's our belief that the VAST majority of fat people get that way by being careless with the way they eat, and their exercise regiment. A good bit of negative feedback instead of the constant "everyone is beautiful" drivel that society fills their heads with, might inspire them to actually be conscious of what they put in their bodies each day, and the fact that eating better is a worthy challenge to undertake.
We don't just talk about "picking up" women in the Manosphere, but we share knowledge on how to exercise and eat better for optimal health. Juicing fruits and vegetables is extremely popular among our group. If you choose to tell us to "fuck off" so you can keep eating fast food 2-3 times a week and sneaking candy while you're at work, that's your decision. But you should know that you will be a societal pariah, as you should be.

Thomaston radios still on life support, chief reports
New system for first responders won't be ready until March
|Republican-American archive Workers from Northeast Towers and Motorola, worked in August installing a new radio tower at Nystrom's Park in Thomaston.
THOMASTON — More than a year since the police chief rallied townspeople to support replacing an ailing radio system used by first responders, new radios aren't yet up and running.
Chief James Campbell said the old radio system, installed in the 1970s, is failing so fast he is trying to have at least part of the new system operational after the first of the year. However, the entire project isn't anticipated to be finished until March, Campbell said.
