The nozzle groups are respectively in communication with the individual chambers for receiving ink. The multi-color ink jet pen is retrofittable in a single color printer to provide multicolor printing capability. The nozzles in the nozzle groups are formatted to correspond to the nozzle format in the printhead of the single color ink jet pen, including the same nozzle spacing, to take advantage of the single color printer control for that nozzle format. The nozzle groups each duplicate a different longitudinal segment of the single color nozzle column pattern. The nozzle groups are staggered in the scan direction and the end nozzles in the respective groups have the same longitudinal spacing therebetween as the nozzles in the nozzle columns to duplicate the nozzle spacing of the single color nozzle column pattern within and between the nozzle groups of the multi-color recording head.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to multi-chamber ink jet recording heads providing ink isolation and selective access to differing colors of ink in the respective chambers for printing text or graphics. More particularly, this invention is directed to a multi-chamber ink jet recording head having an improved nozzle plate employing nozzle formats in individual nozzle groups, corresponding to those of a single color recording head with which it is interchangeable.
2. Description of the Related Art
Ink jet recording heads are used in printers and plotters. These include thermal and piezoelectric types for expelling ink. The term printer as used herein is used as a term of convenience and is not intended to exclude other types of recording such as plotting.
Black ink is used in most printing applications, but there is a developing need for the use of colored inks in printing text and graphics. Heretofore, printers having recording heads designed for single color printing have not been retrofitted with color recording heads which may be interchangeably fittable in the printer carriage designed for the single color recording head, because of differing requirements resulting from pen body configurations, usually larger for accommodating several colors of ink, nozzle spacing and grouping, and control requirements, to name a few. While multicolor recording heads can be provided with a chamber for black ink, where a printer is predominately used for black text or graphics, a supply of black ink in a multicolor recording head fitting an all black or other single color recording head carriage mount is limited in volume. Thus interchangeable single color/multicolor recording heads in a printer increase the utility of an otherwise single color printer or recorder.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,511,907; 4,540,996; 4,611,219; 4,630,076 and 4,631,548 are related to this invention in the sense that they are all directed to multi-color ink jet printers. None of these, however, appear to teach or to suggest a configuration for a multicolor recording head which is interchangeable with a single color recording head in a single color printer.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,511,907 describes a color printer having a plurality of recording heads arranged in a horizontal direction, the nozzles in each being arranged in a vertical direction. The signals for printing are delayed for the second and subsequent recording heads by the time required for the carriage to move the distance between the first recording head and the second or subsequent recording heads.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,996 describes the positioning of a plurality of different color recording heads in the scan direction with respect to one another and the nozzles in each in terms of dot intervals for the purpose of defining an arrangement preventing double recording.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,611,219 describes a liquid jetting printer comprising a plurality of perforated plates providing two channel isolation with alternate ink passages for thermal ink jet operation.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,630,076 describes a multicolor recording head having horizontally spaced nozzle groups, each of which includes a row of nozzles inclined at an angle to the horizontal. An arrangement is described employing white or transparent dot over printing of a previously deposited color dot to cause color bleeding for achieving color tinting.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,548 provides a plurality of ink reservoirs for different colors of ink in an ink jet printer. Multicolor images are printed using the dot matrix principle. Dot diameter is controlled, either by adjusting the volume of ink in each droplet inversely with a number of droplets in a matrix dot, or preselecting a constant volume for the droplets and using the same number of the same or different colors of droplets in forming each matrix dot.
All of the patents aforesaid are related to this invention in the use of individual nozzle groups for differing colors and in the employment of dot matrix techniques for printing. None, however, are concerned with the interchangeability of a multicolor recording head with a single color recording head in a single color printer, particularly as to the arrangement of the nozzle formats in the respective nozzle groups for each chamber in the multichamber reservoir of the pen.
A multi-chamber ink jet recording head or pen for color use is provided which is retrofittable to a single color ink jet printer. A nozzle layout is provided such that even size paper steps in the paper feed direction allows full color printing with only about a 3% reduction in printable area. Color separation is provided in the printhead of the multicolor pen by staggering the individual color groups of nozzles in the scan direction while maintaining the same dot per inch spacing of the nozzles within the groups and between the groups as in the nozzle spacing in the single color printhead of the single color pen Construction of the multi-color ink jet pen is essentially the same as that of the single color pen especially as to size and external configuration and as to the pen mounting details in the pen carriage. Only changes are made in the interior of the ink reservoir to provide for the isolated storing of four colors of ink and to the nozzle substrate to provide the separate color channels for printing.
By duplicating a different longitudinal segment of the nozzle format of the single color pen to form each of the color nozzle groups, all of the printer control characteristics for the standard single color pen are utilized in color printing, requiring only that firmware and software be provided with the capability for color printing. Formatting must include the color dot stagger offset.
The invention will be better understood by reference to the following specification when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded isometric view of a four color ink jet recording head or pen embodying the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a sealing plate taken on the line II--II of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of one nozzle of the printhead taken on the line VI--VI of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 illustrates the layout of the printhead of a second embodiment of the recording head or pen of this invention.
A disposable type thermal ink jet recording head or pen is employed in describing this invention. The invention, however, is not limited to a thermal ink jet type of pen, but is equally applicable to a piezoelectric type of ink jet pen. The printer or plotter in which the recording head or pen is mounted is not shown, it being understood that constant speed relative motion in one direction between the printing medium and the pen provides scanning for printing a line of text or graphics and that stepping relative motion between the printing medium and the pen in a direction orthogonal to the one direction positions the ink jet pen to print the next line of text or graphics.
In FIG. 1, the recording head or pen illustrated comprises a printhead 60. The printhead comprises an orifice or nozzle plate 60a, containing nozzles 62 arranged in four nozzle groups 62a, 62b, 62c and 62cd. The nozzle plate 60a is attached to a patterned substrate 61 forming part of the printhead, as seen in FIG. 5, having a thin film resistor array with an integral ink pathway. The printhead 60 is in turn sealed in a cavity or recess 64 in a front plate 66 which when assembled, is part of a plastic pen body 68 having individual ink chambers 68a, 68b, 68c and 68d which carry the ink supply. Each nozzle 62 supplies ink droplets on demand or command from a printer control system (not shown) as the pen scans the print medium. A suitable printer control system appears in the Hewlett-Packard Journal for May 1985. In the thermal ink jet type of pen, the droplets of ink are ejected by instantaneously vaporizing a tiny volume of ink. The vapor bubble grows rapidly displacing and giving momentum to the ink between the bubble and the nozzle, which expels the ink through the selected nozzle onto the print medium. Ink is refilled automatically in the nozzle as the vapor bubble collapses. Blocks of foam 70a, 70b, 70c and 70d are compressed in the respective chambers of the ink reservoir. Advantageously, this foam material may be a reticulated polyurethane foam of the type disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 880,774 of Jeffrey Baker et al, entitled "Thermal Ink Jet Pen Body Construction Having Improved Ink Storage and Feed Capability and Multicolor Ink Dispensing Capability and Low Cost Construction", filed July 1, 1986, assigned to the present assignee and incorporated herein by reference. These blocks of foam are individually saturated with ink of the selected color, typically black, yellow, cyan and magenta. When the foam is installed in the respective chambers, the reservoirs are sealed by a rear cover plate 72 provided with individual vent holes 74 for venting the respective ink chambers to the atmosphere. Provision (not shown) is made for preventing ink leakage out of these ports.
In one application, the pen is mounted with the nozzle plate 60a pointed downwardly. Ink is delivered to the nozzle plate under the influence of capillary force supplied by the ink pathway and the nozzles themselves.
The end face 69 as seen, of each of the foam filled ink chambers is provided with opening or parts opening. These are designated 68e, 68f, 68g and 68h. These are the ink chamber exit ports through which ink is delivered to each of the respective nozzle groups 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d in the printhead 60.
The individual ink paths for ink delivery from the ink chambers to the respective nozzle groups in the printhead 60 are defined by a sealing plate 76 having respective openings 76a, 76b, 76c and 76d therethrough, which provide the respective isolated channels or ink flow paths between the individual ports 68e-68h. and the individual ports 64a, 64b, 64c, 64d, respectively, opening through the front plate 66 into the recess 64 in which the printhead 60 is sealed. These ports, e.g. 64a-64d, are in the geometry of elongated slots herein, and such slot-feed ink flow techniques and related electrical interconnect methods are known in the art. These techniques and methods are described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,680,859 and 4,683,481 issued to S. A. Johnson and 4,635,073 issued to Gary E. Hanson, all assigned to the present assignee and incorporated herein by reference. The pattern of the ports 64a-64d corresponds to the pattern of the nozzle groups 62a-62d in the plate 60. The sealing plate 76 is provided with a beaded peripheral edge and beaded edges around each of the openings 76a-76d to provided positive sealing when compressed between the end face of the reservoir of the pen body 68 and the back face of the front plate 66.
When the front plate 66 of the pen body 68 is sealed in position compressing the sealing plate 76, individual ink paths are established from the respective ports 68e-68h via respective openings 76a-76d to the respective ports 64a-64d thus providing separate ink paths from the individual chambers 68a-68d to the respective nozzle groups 62a-62d.
In a thermal ink jet type of printhead 60, the patterned substrate 61 is provided with electrical contact pads 62e along the side edges of its face which individually communicate through circuit traces with the resistors at the nozzles which fire the drops of ink. These contact pads are schematically seen in FIG. 1. One patterned substrate format, detailing the circuit connections with the resistors, is seen in FIG. 5, which will be described at a later point. These contact pads are individually engaged by corresponding contact points on the back side of a flexible circuit 78 having flexible circuit traces 78a thereon. The flexible circuit 78 has an opening through its face which straddles the nozzle plate 260. The edges of this opening overlap the contact pads 62e and the contact points on flexible circuit are indexed with contact pads on the patterned substrate 61 to make electrical connections. This type of flexible circuit interconnection is described in the Hewlett-Packard Journal, dated May 1985 on page 14, which is included herein by reference. When the flexible circuit 78 is positioned with its circuit traces 78a in contact with the contact pads 62e of the patterned substrate 61, its bottom extension extends beneath the pen body 68. Here it is attached to the bottom side of the ink reservoir by an adhesive pad 80 or other fastening means.
To illustrate the adaptability of this multichamber ink jet recording head or pen single color printers, reference is made to FIG. 3 of the drawings and to Table I herebelow. FIG. 3 illustrates a pattern or format of one type of single color nozzle or orifice plate. This nozzle plate comprises two columns of nozzles, there being 25 nozzles in each column. The nozzles in each column are arranged in staggered groups of 3, as seen. The nozzles in the right column which are the odd numbered nozzles, 1-49, are displaced vertically, as viewed, with respect to the nozzles in the left column which are the even numbered nozzles, 2-50, by one-half the distance between the nozzles in the columns. The distance between the nozzles in the right column and the left column measured in a direction parallel to the columns, as indicated, is identified as one dot row or logical print position. The distance between the nozzle center line and the top nozzle in each row measured horizontally for nozzle number 1 is 5 dot rows minus 8 um and for the nozzle number 2 is 5 dot rows plus 8 um. The horizontal distance between corresponding nozzles is 10 dot rows. In one practical embodiment of this single color nozzle format or pattern, a dot row or logical print position is 0.0033 inches and the total distance between corresponding nozzles, such as nozzle 1 and nozzle 2, is typically 10 dot rows and thus 0.033 inches. The nozzles are staggered in the columns, typically in groups of three (3).
Table I illustrates the firing sequence of the resistors associated with each of the nozzles of FIG. 3. The timing signal diagram for firing the nozzles of the nozzle array of FIG. 3 is seen in FIG. 4, identifying the resistors fired with each pulse. The number in each resistor character identifies the nozzle. The resistors on the recording head or print head 60 must be fired in a particular order to minimize cross talk. The location of the orifices is set so that the dots will all be fired in the same vertical column when there is a constant scan or printing velocity, typically 12 in./sec., with a 3.25 usec. electrical pulse width TPW and a 5.75 usec dead time TDT, or interval between pulses. The dot firing sequence and relative nozzle locations in microns are specified in Table I. When printing left to right, the indicated sequence is used. When printing right to left, the resistors are fired in the reverse sequence.
In the single color ink jet recording head, the printhead 60 comprises the 2 columns of nozzles as seen in FIG. 3. A single opening is all that is required to provide communication between a single ink chamber 68 in the pen body and the nozzle plate 60a. This opening is configured as a slot 64e, as seen in FIG. 3, at the point where it opens through the face of a recess in which the nozzle plate is mounted, such as the recess 64 of FIG. 1.
The single color nozzle format or pattern of FIG. 3 is retained in the individual nozzle groups of the printhead 60 as seen in FIG. 5. In effect, the nozzle column of FIG. 3 is divided by four. Each nozzle group 62a-62d comprises 12 nozzles arranged in 2 columns of 6 having the dot row spacing between corresponding nozzles of the respective rows and having the same column spacing. Thus within each nozzle group the ink drop firing sequence is the same as that of the single color pen.
In the arrangement shown in FIG. 5, the common contact pads are shown in the four corners of the substrate 61 of the printhead 60. A circuit trace from the common contact pad in the upper left corner of the substrate 61 connects to the resistors R of the even numbered nozzles of the nozzle groups 62a and 62c. The common contact pad in the upper right hand corner of the substrate 61 connects to the resistors R of the odd numbered nozzles of the nozzle group 62a and 62c. The common contact pad in the bottom left corner of the substrate 61 connects to the resistors R of the even numbered nozzles of the nozzle groups 62b and 62d and finally the common contact pad in the bottom right corner of the substrate 61 connects to the resistors R of the odd numbered nozzles of the nozzle groups 62b and 62d. The remaining contact pads numbered 1-48 are connected by circuit traces C to individual resistors R of correspondingly numbered nozzles in the individual nozzle groups.
Only 48 of the 50 nozzles of FIG. 3 are needed in developing the nozzle and circuit format of the printhead 60 of FIG. 5. Two nozzles must be eliminated from FIG. 3. A factor to be considered in the resistor firing sequence in the arrangement of FIG. 5 is the need to avoid firing resistors together which are coupled by a common ground circuit trace. For example, the resistors R at nozzles 45 and 31 should not be fired together since they are coupled to the same common or ground circuit trace, the reason being that resistor firing voltages are critical. Some voltage overdrive is required to guarantee ink drop development. But excessive overdrive shortens resistor life. Thus the firing voltages are kept as low as possible while still guaranteeing firing. The IR drop in a ground circuit trace when two resistors in that circuit are fired simultaneously may result in uncertain ink drop formation.
One approach to solving this problem, while still retaining the firing sequence of the single color head, when the nozzle array of FIG. 3 is divided in developing the nozzle and circuit format or pattern or FIG. 5, is to eliminate the resistors and nozzles 25 and 26. When this is done, the resistors and nozzles 27 to 50 are moved up in the columns to maintain the 1 dot row spacing. Thus resistors and nozzles 27 and 28 move up into the positions occupied by resistors and nozzles 25 and 26 and those that follow shift correspondingly. Thus nozzles and resistors 27 and 28, occupying positions 25 and 26 must now be fired in the 25 and 26 position sequences, although they are still fired in the old 27 and 28 timing sequences, thus allowing for the same driver electronics. Similar considerations apply to the remainder of the higher numbered resistors and nozzles.
Table IIA below is the firing sequence for the nozzles and resistors based upon this development approach for the printhead 60 of FIG. 5, showing the shift offset required in dot rows or logical print positions in firing the individual resistors.
An alternative and presently preferred approach to selecting 48 of the 50 nozzles of FIG. 3 while avoiding firing two resistors in a single ground trace, is to eliminate nozzles and resistors 49 and 50. The resistor firing sequence for this arrangement is shown in Table IIB below.
The printhead 60 of FIG. 5 is arranged as four groups of 12 nozzles with each group associated with one of the four ink colors. Each 12 nozzle group is arranged as two columns of 6 nozzles separated by 10 logical, print positions or dot rows. The four nozzle nozzle groups are arranged such that the two columns of groups are laterally offset from each other by 16 logical print or dot row positions. When firing the nozzles, data for nozzle groups 62c, 62d is shifted 16 dot rows from the rest of the nozzle data to adjust for the group offset. With the nozzle group data shifted, the multicolor nozzle format or pattern is the same as two columns of 25 nozzles separated by 10 dot rows, the format of FIG. 3. The resistors are fired in a specific order to minimize internozzle crosstalk. The location of the nozzles has been set (Timing Offset) so that the dots in one of the 25 nozzle equivalent columns (after stagger correction of the nozzle groups) will all be fired in the same vertical column when the head is moving at 30.48 cm/sec (12 in/sec) horizontally (with a 3.25 usec pulse width and 5.75 usec dead time). The dead time is adjusted to suit a selected carriage constant velocity.
The dot firing sequence and relative orifice locations are shown in Tables IIA and IIB. When printing left to right, the indicated sequence should be used with the Shift Offset being data delay units. When printing right to left, the resistors should be fired in the reverse sequence with the Shift Offset being data advance units. The resultant print will be a vertical column of dots as though all nozzles were located in a line at the physical position of the first nozzle to fire when the sequence started.
The location of individual nozzles 62 in FIG. 5 is shown only as a small circle over the individual resistors. The nozzle or orifice plate 60a detail is not shown in this figure to minimize confusion in an already highly detailed drawing. By way of explanation with regard to the nozzle plate 60a, reference is made to FIG. 6 depicting an enlarged cross sectional view through a section of the printhead 60 taken on the line VI--VI of FIG. 5. This section line is shown at the top left side of the nozzle group 62b and is a section through nozzle 28. Other even numbered nozzles are the same. Odd numbered nozzles are reversed.
As described in the Hewlett-Packard Journal. referenced hereinabove, particularly in the article entitled "Development of the Thin-Film Structure for the ThinkJet Printhead" beginning on page 27 of that journal, the printhead 60 comprises a glass substrate 82 on which a silicon dioxide barrier, SiO2, 84, is deposited. The individual resistors are tantalum aluminum, TaAl. The circuit traces C for the individual resistors R are next deposited to connect the resistors to the respective contact pads. A passivation layer P is next deposited to protect the resistor R from reacting directly with the ink. The ink being an effective electrolyte, isolation is required. The passivation layer permits heat transfer from the resistor to the ink while providing physical, chemical and electrical isolation from the ink.
A nozzle plate 60a is electroformed over a mandrel. Usually this nozzle plate is electroformed of nickel. It comprises a body defining individual ink cavities, or priming cavities 86a into which the ink is admitted. This cavity opens into the nozzle 62. The ink meniscus line is shown bridging the nozzle opening. The ink cavities for the even and odd numbered nozzles in each nozzle group are joined by a manifold, defining a manifold cavity 86b extending between the nozzles, which bridges an opening 64b' in the glass substrate 82 and the layers deposited thereon. This opening 64b' registers with the opening 64b at the location of the section line VI--VI as seen in FIG. 5. The separately electroformed nozzle plate 60a is bonded to the laminated substrate structure by means of a polyimide or polymer material 88, such as RISTON or VACREL, which are trade name polymer materials of the E.I. DuPont Company of Wilmington, Del. The polymer material 88 is disposed on the laminated substrate over the area covered by the nozzle plate 60a around and between the nozzle groups, as seen in FIG. 5, and outlines the cavities 86a and the manifold 86b therebetween in the nozzle groups. The staggering or offseting of the nozzle groups provides adequate polymer sealing between the nozzle plate and the substrate to achieve ink isolation and improves the substrate strength around the ink feed holes 64a-64d.
Another design of the nozzle plate structure is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,308, to C. S. Chan, et al, filed Nov. 22, 1985, entitled "Barrier Layer and Orifice Plate for Thermal Ink Jet Printhead Assembly; assigned to the assignee of this invention and incorporated herein by reference.
As seen in FIG. 5, the individual nozzles 62 in a group of nozzles are 1 dot row apart and the nozzles between the four nozzle groups are preferably, but not limited to, 1 dot row apart, in the paper motion or stepping direction, there being 12 nozzles in each nozzle group. In the example described herein, each nozzle group can print a nozzle stripe which is 0.04 inches wide. Thus a paper step of 0.04 inches permits color overlaying on subsequent passes. In the scan direction, the nozzle groups are staggered or offset by 8 dot rows off the center line indicated in FIG. 5. This provides for an effective stagger of affect 16 dot rows between the centers of the color groups. In the embodiment of this invention which is being described, this stagger or offset allows approximately 20 mils between the ink cavities for sealing with the polymer material. This sealing line is roughly equivalent to the ink cavity to the outside seal.
The ink supply from the pen body is also eased by the increasing clearance due to the stagger. Adequate sealing and separation the back side of the glass substrate in the recess 64 of the front plate 66 is possible with this increased clearance.
The division of the ink reservoir of the single color pen into four cavities results in a total volume of ink, that is the volume of all of the colors, which is somewhat less than an all black or single color pen.
Since 1 dot row spacing can be maintained between the nozzles in the individual nozzle groups and the nozzles between the nozzle groups, this multichamber recording head or pen has the same continuous dot per inch dot spacing with four color capability as the single color printhead. This utilizes all of the single color printer system text and graphics control characteristics and requires only that firmware and software have the color capability. Formatting must be provided to provide the 16 dot row stagger offset between the nozzle groups.
FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of this invention in which the single color nozzle plate of FIG. 3 is modified in a printhead to accommodate three nozzle groups in a three chamber ink jet pen or recording head. Each nozzle group comprises 16 nozzles in two columns of 8 occupying the same positions in the individual columns as the correspondingly numbered nozzles in FIG. 3.
The nozzles of this printhead are arranged as three groups of 16 nozzles each, each group being associated with one of the three ink colors. The nozzles of each of the 16 nozzle groups are arranged as two columns of 8 nozzles separated by 10 logical print positions or dot rows. The three nozzle groups are arranged such that the middle group 62c is offset from the other two groups by 16 logical print or dot row positions. When firing the printhead, data for nozzles 17-32 should be shifted 16 logical print positions or dot rows from the rest of the nozzle data to adjust for the middle group offset. With the middle nozzle group data shifted, the nozzle arrangement is the same as that of two columns of 25 nozzles separated by 10 dot rows, as seen in FIG. 3. The nozzle resistors R are fired in a specific order to minimize internozzle crosstalk. The location of the nozzles has been set (Timing Offset) so that the dots in one of the 25 nozzle equivalent columns (after stagger correction of the middle nozzle group) will all be fired in the same vertical column when the head is moving at 30.48 cm/sec (12 in/sec) horizontally (with a 3.25 usec pulse width and 5.75 usec dead time). The dead time is adjusted to suit a selected carriage velocity.
The dot firing sequence and relative orifice locations are shown in Table III. When printing left to right, the indicated sequence should be used with the Shift Offset being data delay units. When printing right-to-left, the resistors should be fired in the reverse sequence with the Shift Offset being data advance units. The resultant print will be a vertical column of dots as though all nozzles were located in a line at the physical position of nozzle 46 when the sequence started.

"An absorbing adventure."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Former Aerial Corps captain Will Laurence and his faithful dragon, Temeraire, have been put out to pasture in Australia—and it seems their part in the war has ended just when they are needed most. The French have invaded Spain, forged an alliance with Africa's powerful Tswana empire, and brought revolution to Brazil. With Britain's last desperate hope of defeating Napoleon in peril, the government that sidelined Laurence swiftly offers to reinstate him, convinced that he's the best man to enter the fray and negotiate peace. So the pair embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that forces them to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Incan empire. With the success of the mission balanced on a razor's edge, an old enemy appears and threatens to tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurk—for one bold enough to grasp it.
"Captivating . . . compelling reading . . . [an] action-packed narrative [with] lively, uniquely drawn characters and intriguing takes on history."—Tor.com
Includes a preview of the next book in the Temeraire series, Blood of Tyrants
About the Author
Naomi Novik is the acclaimed author of His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, Black Powder War, Empire of Ivory, Victory of Eagles, and Tongues of Serpents, the first six volumes of the Temeraire series, recently optioned by Peter Jackson, the Academy Award–winning director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In 2007, Novik received the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer at the World Science Fiction Convention. A history buff with a particular interest in the Napoleonic era, Novik studied English literature at Brown University, then did graduate work in computer science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide. She is also the author of the graphic novel Will Supervillains Be on the Final? Novik lives in New York City with her family and six computers.
Praise for Crucible of Gold…
Praise for Naomi Novik and her novels of Temeraire
"Novik's influences run the gamut from Jane Austen to Patrick O'Brian, with a side trip through Anne McCaffrey. Her books are completely involving and probably addictive, their central conceit explored in clever detail with a great deal of wit and historical insight."—San Francisco Chronicle
"These are beautifully written novels: not only fresh, original, and fast-paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart."—Peter Jackson
"A gripping adventure full of rich detail and the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy."—Entertainment Weekly
"A new writer is soaring on the wings of a dragon."—The New York Times
"[This is] a glorious series whose future status as a genre classic is now assured."—SF Reviews

Not for tri or quad set ups
This review is from: Enzotech BSLI-1 SLI Bridge Fitting
Pros: Nice quality materials. 3 diff tube sizes.
Cons: Even totally collapsed, and with the color O rings out, I could not put 3 or 4 cards together. Bought 3, used 0. Opened all.
Other Thoughts: This is just one of many problems encountered when setting up a liquid system if you use different manufacturers products.

Works perfectly
This review is from: Enzotech BSLI-1 SLI Bridge Fitting
Pros: This fantastic piece of hardware solved the problem of connecting my twin GTX 580 hydro copper cards together.
Cons: Be very cautious when working with the cards once you've connected them, as the only point of connection until you mount them to the motherboard will be that fitting. It's a bit nerve-wracking to get them in place without damaging them or the fitting, but once they're in, you're golden.

Good filler piece
This review is from: Enzotech BSLI-1 SLI Bridge Fitting
Pros: Filled the gap between my 8800 gt cards perfectly. No leaking at all.
Cons: None just a little expensive b/c you have to buy all 3 sizes but that seems pretty standard.
Other Thoughts: I wish the middle sized piece had the bio hazard piece on it.

Ajíaco Bogotano Recipe
04 Feb 14
This comforting Colombian soup recipe comes to us from Carlos Ordoñez, member of the Slow Food Bogotá Convivium. Carlos scoured the country in search of traditional recipes, collecting 2,700 in just one year. This soup is the perfect example of the symbiosis between the indigenous, peasant and Spanish cultures in the country, whose influences intercept to create a delicious result that has become a national favorite.
Ajíaco Bogotano celebrates the biodiversity of potatoes using three Colombian varieties. We have suggested alternatives if these are not available. This recipe is part of Recetario latinoamericano de los cocineros de la red de Terra Madre - a collection of traditional dishes from across Latin America, published by Slow Food (in Spanish).
Serves 4
1 large scallion, whole
6 tbsp / 25g fresh coriander, chopped
750g skinless chicken breasts, with bone
Salt and pepper to taste
250g Papa Criolla (Solanum phureja), or another creamy yellow potato such as small Yukon Golds or Yellow Fingerling, peeled and cut into cubes
500g Papa Pastusa (Solanum tuberosum), or another large white potato such as Russet, peeled and cut into cubes
375g Papa Sabanera (Solanum tuberosum), or another small purple potato, peeled and cut into cubes
2 medium ears fresh corn, cut into 3 pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
¾ cup / 50g guascas* leaves
¾ cup / 180ml heavy cream
¾ cup / 120g capers, rinsed
2 avocados, peeled and sliced
Tie the stems of scallion and coriander with cotton thread and place them in a large pot along with 2L water, the chicken breasts, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cook over a medium heat for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and tender. Remove chicken and set aside. Remove the scallion and coriander. Add the potatoes, corn and garlic.
Meanwhile, once the chicken is cool, shred by hand and place at the bottom of serving bowls.
Simmer the soup until the potatoes begin to fall apart and the soup thickens and the corn is tender. Add the guascas and cook for further 5-10 minutes.
Prepare separate serving plates for the capers, cream and avocado in the middle of the table so your guests can garnish their soups. Ladel on top of shredded chicken and enjoy!
*Guascas is a common herb in Colombia and can be found in some Latin supermarkets. It is also known as Mielcilla (Costa Rica), Galinsoga (NZ), gallant soldier (USA), and Potato weed. If not available, replace with 2 bay leaves and 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

Check Out Brooklyn Craft Camp
Prepare yourself, because this might be one of the coolest things we've encountered all year:
Craftsy instructor Brett Bara (she teaches Design Your Own Handbag with Brett Bara) has put together an absolutely awesome event in new York called Brooklyn Craft Camp: a one-day crafting extravaganza on March 16, 2013 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's a full day of jam-packed DIY fun, where attendees will craft their hearts out with some of NYC's most creative authors and bloggers, while meeting new crafty friends, learning new skills, eating delicious food, sipping cocktails, and more. It's a DIY party, all day long! This combines so many of our favorite things, it's almost ridiculous. We're talking about crafting. Tons of crafting. And then there's tasty food. OK, who doesn't love tasty food? And then there's cocktails. Yes. Cocktails and crafting. Together. At last. The teachers include experts from Etsy, Anthropologie, and more. Plus, the keynote speaker is Project Runway winner Jay McCarroll!
This epic day of making will highlight everything that's awesome about modern crafting, including:
- Four 90-minute craft classes, including knitting, crochet, jewelry, terrariums, embroidery, paper crafting & more
- All the materials and tools to complete four projects
- Awesome teachers, including NYC's best authors, bloggers & designers
- Delicious, locally-made gourmet meals
- Photobooth fun
- DIY nail art & quickie crafts stations

- The sparkling company of cool, crafty people!
So, in other words, this is pretty much the greatest party ever if you're into crafting, which we must assume you are since you're reading this on Craftsy. And did we mention it lasts all day? All day!
We're breathlessly posting about this not just because it's such a great event, and not just because it's the brainchild of a Craftsy instructor, but also because—like all great parties—the guestlist is not unlimited. In fact, the Brooklyn Craft Camp will be held to 120 attendees only! So you definitely need to get on this now before you lose your chance. Go to the Brooklyn Craft Camp website now, and check out the classes, the schedule, the teachers, and of course how to register.

Country they fled has long tentacles Regime taps Eritrean refugees for cash
By: Carol Sanders
Daniel Awshek (left) and Ghezae Hagos say seeking pro-government cash from refugees is inappropriate.
They thought coming to Canada would free them from the oppressive Eritrean regime, but many new Winnipeggers are being squeezed for money by agents of the government they fled.
Daniel Awshek told the Free Press he was shocked when he first arrived and attended a community gathering — where he was hit up for money to support the dictatorial regime in the African country.
"They asked every family to pay $500 each for the Eritrean Defence Forces to fight against Ethiopia," said Awshek, a nurse and refugee minister at the Eritrean Pentecostal Church.
"That's crazy. Let's focus on child development and community development," and not support fighting, he added.
When Awshek needed a transcript of his public health degree from the University of Asmara in Eritrea's capital, he had to pay two per cent of his income and provide a copy of his income tax return. And anyone who wants a visa to visit Eritrea or an official document has to pay the annual two per cent tax.
He said it's wrong to ask people to support the government that's driven them out.
Men and women are conscripted out of high school and expected to serve the military for 16 months. Many Winnipeggers say that commitment ends up being years.
One man who came to Canada in 2008 said he fled the country when he realized his 16-month mandatory military service would never end. If he stayed, he believes he'd be stuck in the military for life earning 432 nakfa a month (about C$10 a month), he said.
He doesn't want to be identified because he fears it will put his family in Eritrea at risk. His father was fined 50,000 nakfa by the government when it found out he left, he said.
In Winnipeg, he found a full-time job and wanted to register for university classes. He refused to pay the Eritrean agent in Winnipeg the two per cent tax to get his transcript from Asmara.
He's even more adamantly opposed to pro-government agents in Winnipeg handling Eritrean refugee sponsorships.
As a government-sponsored refugee, he didn't know where to go to sponsor his nephew and a friend. He applied through the Eritrean Community in Winnipeg Inc.
"Last year I got a call — 'Can you come to the community centre? We have your sponsorship papers. There are errors. We want to correct it with you.' "
He gave up a shift at work for the appointment at the centre on Hargrave Street.
"When I got there, there were 100 people," he said. "I thought it was just me." There were no documents for him to correct.
Instead, he said an agent for the Eritrean government got up and berated the crowd for sponsoring young people to come to Canada.
He was shocked.
"I just felt as if I was in Eritrea," he said. "I was scared."
The people running the community centre support the Eritrean government and are receiving information about the sponsored people, where they're staying and what they've said about the regime, he said.
"It compromises the integrity of the sponsorship program," said Ghezae Hagos, a journalist and refugee from Eritrea. He wants the Canadian government to make sure groups that sponsor refugees aren't working with the government of the country they fled.
"We need to become aware of the concern," said John Nychek, with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. "If some impropriety is confirmed, then I think we need to take a serious look at the sponsorship agreement-holder to see whatever the concern is and address it and alleviate those concerns."
In Winnipeg, the president of the community centre said it has nothing to do with the government of Eritrea.
But a copy of a financial report one of its members gave the Free Press shows the biggest expense of the Eritrean Community in Winnipeg Inc. in 2000 was a $12,237.38 donation to the Eritrean Defence Forces.
"The community centre is one leg of the government of Eritrea," said another refugee, through a translator.
Leak reveals big squeeze
In a classified report made public by Wikileaks, U.S. Ambassador Ronald K. McMullen said the two per cent tax on Eritreans in the diaspora collected by embassies and local community centres accounts for 11 per cent of Eritrea's GDP. Proof of payment is required to maintain family and property ties, he said.
"… Many Eritreans in the diaspora choose to remain silent rather than speak out against a government they disapprove of… it is common for the (Eritrean government) to arrest or harass family members of outspoken individuals."
A resolution before the UN Security Council would ban the Eritrean government from collecting remittances from abroad. The UN already imposed sanctions against Eritrea demanding it cease arming, training and equipping armed groups and their members, including Al-Shabaab, which aimed to destabilize the region.

US Ecology, Inc. Q2 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
Management cannot control or predict many factors that determine future results. Listeners should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which reflect management's views only on the date such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements or to make other forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
For those joining by webcast, you can follow along with today's presentation. For those listening by phone, you can obtain a copy of today's presentation at our website at www.usecology.com.
Now I'll turn the call over to Jim.
Jim BaumgardnerThank you, Jeff and good morning, everyone. As outlined on our agenda on slide four of our webcast PowerPoint presentation. I'll start this morning's call with a quick overview of the quarter results released earlier today. After which time I'll turn the call back to Jeff to provide a more detailed view on the financial results. Then I'll let Steve Welling provide a general market update including an overview of our recent award announcement with General Electric. I mean, I'll close today's call and our prepared remarks with an update on the outlook for the balance of 2010. As noted on Slide 5, and as expected, the second quarter continued to be sluggish. But it did show signs of improvement. Our recurring business was up 7% as compared to the second quarter of last year and up 3% on a sequential basis when compared to the first quarter of 2010. However, our event business was down 48% during the quarter when compared to the second quarter of last year primarily due to completed Honeywell project in 2009. When the revenue contribution from the Honeywell is excluded from the second quarter of 2009, our event business was only down about 1% in the second quarter. Sequentially, the event business was down 12% compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to the completion of a project in Q1 that was not fully replaced in Q2. Despite the softness in the event business during the quarter, our Q2 2010 pipeline is robust. Several deferred projects are expected to shift in the second half as is the recently announced GE as an inert project.

Looking At Gump
by Paul on 10/10/07 at 09:18 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
The late Red Storey liked to tell the story about the day he met Worsley in a bar in the morning of an afternoon game.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked.
"Sit," the goaltender said.
They chatted for a few minutes, whereupon Storey said to Worsley: "It's none of my business, Gump, but don't you have a game this afternoon?"
"You're right," Worsley grunted, "it's none of your business."

Stories From Espo

from the News-Register,
Esposito recalled an incident in which he and another hockey great, Gordie Howe, were among the old-timers to lace up the skates for a charity game. They noticed a younger player skating "way too fast," as Esposito put it, for an exhibition game. Howe, famous for his fisticuffs as much as his scoring touch, took exception to the upstart showing up the old-timers. So when Howe met this opponent at an ensuing faceoff, he suggested he slow down.
When the cocky youngster responded with a derogatory remark to "Mr. Hockey," Howe's trademark nickname, he paid for it. Howe took him down hard with some strategically placed stickwork, leaving him writhing on the ice. Let's just say the fleet-footed upstart didn't skate too fast during the remainder of the game.

They Rode The Rails
by Paul on 09/29/07 at 08:42 AM ET

from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
The private car was a place for bonding during the regular season and for all-night wet parties when the Canadiens were returning home after winning Stanley Cups on the road.
The trip to Chicago was a marathon on rails. The Canadiens would play a Saturday night game at the Forum and, immediately after it, would head for Westmount Station. Departure time: somewhere around midnight. Breakfast and lunch (thick steaks to die for) in their private dining car, after which most of the players would take their afternoon naps.
Normally, the team would arrive there at 6:30 p.m., head directly to Chicago Stadium - now and then with a police escort when the train was late. They would play the game, head back to the train and arrive in Montreal at 11 p.m. on Monday.

Hall Of Famer Pilote Enjoys The Game
by Paul on 09/26/07 at 10:47 PM ET

from the St. Catharines Standard,
Count Pierre Pilote among those who enjoy post-NHL lockout hockey.
Gone are the days of hooking, high-sticking and holding going largely unpenalized.
Like many former players and present-day fans, the Hockey Hall of Famer enjoys watching the skilled players do their thing.
"I'm so glad," he said between periods of a recent Niagara IceDogs game. "Since the lockout, it's given the skilled players a chance to play, and they're doing it.
"It's in a better state now. When I played (1955-56 to 1968-69), it was all right. Then expansion came in and all of a sudden, coaches were saying, 'How are we going to win this?'

from Simcoe.com,
In a real coup, Simcoe.com had an opportunity to interview the Hockey Hall of Famer for this special, Internet-only story.
Born in Floral, Sask. in 1928, Howe spent most of his youth in Saskatoon, where he played hockey as often as he could, including at night.
"I built a net myself and put it on the street underneath the streetlight because we didn't have an outside light at our house. And when it got dark, I was still shooting away. And you had to be accurate because you had to look for the dumb puck in the snow if you missed. Basically, I just had a love for the game," Howe said from his home near Detroit.

Way Back When

from the Calgary Herald,
It's not like the older defencemen ignored him completely.
It's not like Adrian Aucoin, breaking in with the Vancouver Canucks in 1995, wasn't involved.
"They'd tell me to get the beer and I'd get the beer," says Aucoin, grinning. "I didn't say a word. That's the way it was. They were the best guys"—Dave Babych, Dana Murzyn, Jyrki Lumme, Jeff Brown, Bret Hedican—"and I had a great time, but it was different then."
Craig Conroy, recalling his formative years with the Montreal Canadiens, can vouch for that.
Veterans ruled the roost—if not with an iron fist, then at least with a spiked tongue.

I am not really sure about this, but it appears the Modesto Bee was in search of the greatest sports dynasty. Mentioned in the story were the Yankees, the Oakland A's, the 49ers and then this…
To anyone who has followed the sport of hockey since before the Gary Bettman era, determining the greatest sports dynasty is an open-and-shut case.
It's the Montreal Canadiens from 1952 to 1980.
Sixteen of the club's 24 Stanley Cups came during those 29 years. They won five straight Cups from 1956-60—a feat not since repeated—and four straight from 1976-79. In the 1960s, the Canadiens won four Cups in five years. Only once did more than two seasons pass without the Canadiens raising the Cup.

Doggy Doodie
Jan 13th
I love going for walks to take pictures especially in the clear, cold winter days. Yesterday was such a day. It was a sunny, -32°C winter afternoon. It was cold enough but I was dressed for the weather.
My second stop of the day took me to the trails around Frame Lake and between the lake and the hospital. The trails are well traveled which is good to see. People out walking and running and taking advantage of the area we live in.
Unfortunately there appears to be too many irresponsible dog owners that also walk their dogs on the trails. I was disgusted to see the number of piles of dog poop sitting along the almost pristine trails. I have a hard time understanding the mind set of these dog owners.
My dogs have been trained to go to the bathroom in our dog pen and seldom do they go poop outside the pen but when they do, we always have a poop bag to pick it up. We have always been responsible dog owners this way. But why are there so many dog owners who feel it is ok to leave their dog's deposits wherever they may go? What makes them believe that no one cares? How can they be that irresponsible?
Do these owners not realize that it is unsightly and even more so, unhygienic? In fact, this is how disease can be spread. 1 gram of dog feces can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria that can cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal disorders and kidney problems. Sure, it is winter right now and it is frozen, but when the snow melts, the feces melts too and becomes a stinky, disease infested mess on the trails that we like to walk on for pleasure.
These irresponsible owners also can't use the excuse that they forgot their doggie doodie bags. The trails have dog poop bags along the way so that people who did forget their bags can do the right thing. Unfortunately, too many people just think about themselves and not the rest of us who like to enjoy the outside or about the environment. They don't care about the health of the rest of us or of our dogs either.
Is it they don't really know how to pick up their dogs waste? Well here are some tips for them. Take a read if you are one of those people. Take it upon yourself to become educated and become that responsible dog owner.

The Dangerous Walk
Apr 23rd
Posted by martin in Yellowknife
Time to take a break from the election today and talk about another issue that has been stuck in my craw for a while now. My issue is walking, speeding, attention and crosswalks. Here is what has had me up in arms for several years now.
I walk to work every morning. I usually walk back home for lunch and back to work again afterwards with a final walk back home at the end of the work day. It is not a long walk…only about 3 blocks or so. But many days it is a very dangerous walk. It is dangerous because the road is a busy road and I have to cross it.
Sometimes it is dangerous because of the road conditions, sometimes the sidewalks are pure ice. Sometimes, as on Thursday, I am half way across a crosswalk only to have some moron talking on their cell phone go speeding right behind me and miss me by inches. Sure, they slowed until I was half way across and then sped right through. Sometimes I get half way across the road and have to stop because the driver coming from the right side is not paying attention and will zip in front of me.
The problem with all of this is that my entire walk to work is a school zone. A SCHOOL ZONE. Where people are supposed to do 30km/h and be paying attention. This school zone is also not only for one school but for 3 schools. A section of road that travels in front of 3 schools where approximately 1700 students attend school. I am talking about 52nd Ave. running from 49th St., past the 3 schools and finishing at 50th Ave.
The City of Yellowknife bylaw enforcement does their small (read that as minute) bit to help on this stretch of road. On the first day or 2 of school they manage to set up a couple of speed traps to catch those speeders traveling the road. After that? I see the odd car travel by, and occasionally they even park at the curb in a wide open space so they are easy to see from each direction hoping to pick up the odd blind bat driver. Unfortunately, this does little to curb the speeding that takes place on this road. And don't get me started about after school hours where the road is used as a race track by drivers in a hurry. I guess bylaw forgets that the 30km/h speed limit is in force 24/7/365. Funny thing is they seem to have little problem in tagging cars who are parked at an expired parking meter downtown. I keep forgetting what a safety issue that is.
I think though that the major issue on the stretch of road is the lack of crosswalk markings. Let's look around the rest of the city. There is a fairly main road that runs a block in front of Range Lake North School and there are 2 crosswalk crossing lights. In front of St. Joes Catholic School is a busy thoroughfare and it too has a crosswalk crossing light and a 3-way stop. Mildred Hall School, by its location, has traffic lights and the associated walk lights in 2 locations across the street from it. In front of Sir John Franklin, Weledeh and St. Pats? Nothing!! The funny thing is the city knows this is a busy area.
On the stretch of road I am talking about are at least 7 painted crosswalks. That is it. No crosswalk signs, no crosswalk lights. In fact one of the crosswalks has a transit stop on either side and I have watched students get off the Yellowknife Transit System buses, start to cross in front of the bus only to have a car go racing by. Or kids running across the road to catch a bus only to just escape the smack-down of a car as it races by.
Oh yes, those painted crosswalks. Yeah! That's a good one. This is the land of ice, snow and 3 inches of winter gravel on the road, at least during most of the school year. From the first snow until the street sweepers remove the sand and gravel, they can't be seen. Even when they become visible at this time of year, the winter sand and gravel has rubbed and faded them so they are almost invisible. The city then makes sure they are freshly painted for the first day of school so they can remain seen for 2 months (maybe).
My question to the Yellowknife council members, bylaw officers and others of the city is why there is no indication of crosswalks on this area of road. Is it going to take someone getting hurt or worse before this is looked at? Wouldn't it make sense to at least put a crossing light at the crosswalk where the 2 transit stops are and make sure it is blinking at least during school hours to act as a reminder for motorists? The city put in a 4 way stop at 52nd St. on the same avenue to slow traffic down. If a crosswalk light is too expensive then maybe 47th street needs to be made into a 3 way stop? Maybe more patrols and more frequent speed traps along this section of road?
Regardless of what is done, the city needs to do something and the motorists who travel this section of road need to pay more attention. Students are coming and going during the day all along this stretch of road and you need to be more attentive. Did I mention that the person who almost hit me the other day was on their cell. Yeah, trying to make a point. Pay attention when you drive. I don't want to be out walking one day and see someone get hit…or be hit myself.

[To set reminders and check TV schedule of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon click here.].
It is said that this is a Men's world but what about Television Industry, well here the scene is reverse it's a Women's world out here. If you disagree, let us play a quiz and by the end of it we all will have the answer. Take a paper and pen, divide the paper into two halves, in the first half write the title of the serials that features the name of the female protagonist and in the other half write the name of serials that features the name of the male protagonist of the serial.
Ohk!!! After you are done just look at the sheet and you will know for sure what I am talking about.
It's true that women play pivotal roles when it comes to small screen soaps, and even grab a significant portion of screen space/time. But as it is also said that the women of today is making a niche in the men's world, it is a vice – versa situation in the women's world of Indian Television.
One of the significant man who is making this niche all the more strong is RK aka Rishabh Kundra of Madhubala aka Vivian Dsena. The epitome of spoilt brat who broods and hates everybody except him or that is what he feels. A self made actor who is proud of this fact and also enjoys the extensive power that his fame and the money have blessed over him. I am talking about his character RK in the show Madhubala … don't take it otherwise
So what makes Vivian a convincing RK in Madhubala? The simplest of answer is that his good acting skills. Well you might be correct but there's more than just that. Vivian is good, no doubt; but he is made better by the Madhubala team to suit the smarty, brooding and spoilt brat pants of Rishabh Kundra aka RK.
The Look: The big film star that is RK in the show, the costumes and accessories compliments him accordingly. The casual stole with the casual tees takes the look a notch above from simple casuals to smart and trendy. Any Look when mixed with RK's attitudedefinitely speaks volumes about RK's character. Although his look never changes like an actor's does from film to film but hey!! We cannot expect everything absolutely perfect.
The Dialogues: Well this definitely does the trick…his entire attitude, clothes and style would have gone vain without this. I bow down to the dialogue writer of this show…theenjoyment quotient when RK in his form with his witty impromptu dialogues is superbly high. Whether he is taunting, flaunting or even asking pardon, the dialogues has a stance that will intrigue you and hold you for more than a few minutes. They have a quality of bringing smile when you recollect them and I think this says more than the actual words can say.
While I go on my ride of remembering my favourite dialogues from the show and enjoy my smile, don't forget to send us your Views, Reviews, Comments and Suggestions because they will make me smile ear to ear, waiting!!…. Till then Keep Watching, Keep Enjoying, Keep Smiling and Keep Reading.
What you like the Most about RK of Madhubala?
