The wings were excellent, the beer was cold, and the waitress, Kim (one of the owners), was really nice. All in all, a pleasant experience. We'll come again.

People need to realize that this is a bar and not exactly a restaurant so the service will be similar to that of a bar as will the vibe.

You can't use your groupon on specials so after you do, go back on a Tuesday and enjoy some live music with $1 tacos. Their tacos are delicious. Their burgers are huge and juicy. It's a comfortable little bar that doesn't get it kicks charging you for every little thing and their prices are pretty fair.

Ribs were just okay, they were not fall off the bone the way ribs should be. The pulled pork sandwich was awesome! Do not get the chips and salsa waste of money! The salsa tasted like it came straight from a jar of tostitios salsa.

Housemade sauces and the best wings I've had anywhere ever. Worth the trip.
From Our Editors
Aromas of smoking chicken, pork, and beef waft between the exposed-brick and blood-red walls and through the wooden rafters of Devil's Daughter Bar. Chefs wood smoke all their meats in-house and use the morsels to build Southern and Tex-Mex plates of smoked and charbroiled chicken wings, pulled-pork sandwiches, nachos, and tacos. On weekends, the restaurant reverberates with the sounds of live bands or underground house beats mixed by a rotating cast of DJs and at least one undercover Robocop. Studio lights illuminate weekly events such as trivia, poker, and pool tournaments.

UFA, RUSSIA—Vladimir Tkachyov scored the winning goal in the third period as Russia held on to beat the United States 2-1 on Friday at the 2013 IIHF world junior hockey championship.
Tkachyov scored 4:10 into the third as he put the puck past American goalie John Gibson following a terrific end-to-end rush by Valeri Nichushkin.
Forward Kirill Kapustin put Russia's lead in peril when he was given a minor penalty and 10-minute misconduct for checking from behind with 1:32 left in regulation. But the U.S. was unable to beat goaltender Andrei Makarov during the late power play.
Albert Yarullin had Russia's other goal on a power play. Defenceman Jacob Trouba replied for the U.S. (1-0-0-1) with a goal on a man advantage.
Makarov, who plays for the Western Hockey League's Saskatoon Blades, was outstanding, making 41 saves.
Gibson stopped 28 shots for the Americans.
Russia (1-1-0-0) moved to second in Group B with five points on a regulation win and an overtime win.
Canada leads the group with six points, the U.S. is third with three, Slovakia has one and Germany is last with no points.
Russia next plays winless Germany on Saturday, while the U.S. meets rival Canada on Sunday.
Sweden 3, Switzerland 2 (SO): Victor Rask had the lone goal of the shootout to earn Sweden a win over Switzerland.
Sweden (2-0) moved atop Pool A with five points, one point ahead of Switzerland (1-1).
Swedish coach Roger Ronnberg made an interesting decision heading into the shootout by changing his goaltenders. Joel Lassinantti had played regulation and overtime but was on the bench in favour of Niklas Lundstrom for the shootout.
The move paid off as Lundstrom stopped all three Swiss penalty shots that he faced.
Sebastian Collberg and Emil Djuse scored in regulation for the Swedes, with Djuse's goal in the third forcing overtime.
Eliot Antonietii and Mike Kunzle replied for Switzerland.
Czech Republic 3, Finland 1: Tomas Hyka and Marek Hrbas scored first-period goals to lead the Czech Republic to a win over Finland.
Dmitrij Jaskin added an empty-net goal for the Czech Republic (1-1).
Teuvo Teravainen had the lone goal for Finland (1-1).
The win by the Czech Republic tightened up the standings in Pool A.
Sweden leads the way with five points, with Switzerland second with four. Finland and the Czech Republic are tied for third with three points while Latvia is last with none.
Hyka opened the scoring at 14:16 with a shot over the glove of Finnish goalie Joonas Korpisalo. Less than three minutes later, Hrbas made it 2-0 after deflecting Petr Sidlik's point show on the power play.
Teravainen's goal at 2:29 of the second pulled the Finns to within 2-1 but that's as close as they would get as Jaskin cemented the victory with his empty-net goal in the third.

Is my monstera to large to train onto a support pole, and is there a best time of the year to attempt this or is anytime ok. It has some aerial roots. I have the ficus pot holding up some of the plant that is trailing outwards.
I didnt know about training it on a pole until I read it here. Its starting to take over my house. I love it, its one of my favorite plants, but then again, they all are.
What a great plant. It looks like a great size to start training it. My personal plant is out of control; the leaves are massive. It spent the summer out-of doors and went to town. I think the roots are what u need to train. Once it starts growing, the roots will come out of the vine every where! They add a nice exotic appearance. The best time to start training it is when the plant is actively growing...looks like yours is growing. My personal plant tends to grow slowly all winter in enough light tho only leaves I've noticed. Not much in the way of air roots. Mine is propped up against the window now as I haven't found a appeasing way to support it. I dont really like the moss pole idea for this plant as I gets very top heavy and makes it difficult to move. The moss pole is a great idea just not for this plant in my opinion. Unfortunately can't help with what to support I with. There was a thread on GW where someone made a cage type support and it looked great! My kind of support. I priced the copper pipes for the support and yikes! Expensive! I hope you can get some better help and good growing on the Monstera! Kyle
Thanks Larry
Plantsaremylife I am concerned about using a moss pole because I have asthma & I am not sure what I would attach it to or what kind of pot I would use. I tend to think a square pot might be best if this is the route I am going to take. I am thinking maybe I could attach the plant pot & the pole onto something with wheels so I could move it easily. But I am concerned about using the moss. Is this the moss that comes in a bag at big box stores? Does it give off a musty kind of smell?
My plant was outside all summer also. I believe I bought it in the spring. It was maybe a ft tall. They really do get big and turn into little monsters. LOL
Polly, I thinks yours looks GREAT compared to mine.
Mine is a lllooonnnggg stem, or trunk, with a couple of leaves at the end. It looks horrendous. I feel like chopping it off at where the leaves start and rerooting the thing. Yours is beautiful.
Hmmmm. Well I have asthma as well. I don't grow mine on a moss pole btw... I have some orchids in moss and dont really notice any musty smell. I suppose if it was kept wet it would. If you chose the moss pole route i think the heater and dry air in the house would keep the moss from gettting too smelly. If uou go that route you have to mist the moss i believe to encourage roots! What kind of pole were you looking at attaching it to? This is definately a plant that I'm not sure the best way to support it. Kyle
You don't need a moss pole; any sort of pole, driftwood, 2X4, will work. You tie the plant on with twisty-tie, tape, pieces of cloth, whatever. The tricky part is fastening the whole thing together, and mounting on a wheeled thingy - that's a good idea. There should be all sorts of ideas on the net.
Thanks everyone for the responses and compliments.
Tropic breeze, that is some plant. My ceilings arent that high. LOL I coul always let it grow across the beams.
Like I said, I am not sure what to use. I never considered it might need something to support it. I buy plants and research later. I guess its a bad habit, I should really research then I would know what I'm getting into. I am more of a impulse plant buyer.
I have a Monstera friedrichsthalii (has much smaller leaves then monstera deliciosa), and it came with piece of plain wood for climbing support, and I was studying it trying to figure out how in the world it was 'climbing' just a piece of wood stick and noticed that somehow the roots had managed to grab on to the wood (the roots where actally really hard and seemed to somehow cement themselves to the wood). So I'm thinking that maybe you dont need moss.
I'm sure their's alot of ways to make climbing supports without moss, people are really creative and so are plants.
Flowerpot, thanks for letting me know that they will grow up wood. I could probably get a slab or rough cut wood and that would probably do the job as long as its mounted to be stable and not fall over. I also want to try to mount it so I can move the whole thing as a unit,
Aerial roots are made to attach to things, and I've had heart-leaf Philo roots attach to various wood (alive and dead,) aluminum, the painted wood of the front of the house, painted metal.
With a malleable vine, it's easy to drape them over/around whatever support. The trick with yours would be positioning it and holding it in position in relation to whatever support. Maybe it's still more bendy than it looks?
You could use something soft like pantyhose for tying if that's necessary but in case they're able to attach to whatever you use, I would try to keep the roots from contacting the tie material.
Tropic, guess dh has to cut holes in the ceiling and roof..lol.
Polly, Home Depot sells plastic, wood and bamboo poles. Prices go by size.
Plants tend to cling on moss, but since you have Asthma, and problems using moss, go with a different material.
BTW, your Monstera is a beaut. Toni
Polly, the rough cut wood would be perfect. Dampen it and the Monster will find it and attach itself. You could tie the stem to it with a bit of fishing line. Once it's not needed you can cut and remove it without any damage or disturbance to the plant.
Larry, they're native to South and Central America. And you would see a lot of other aroids whilst there.
Ok I think I will do the cut rough wood. Now I have to plan it out. I want it on rollers attached to the platform the plant pot is on. Dont you think fishing line will cut into it?

A smile is worth a thousand words
It's hard to sum myself up in just a few words, but here it goes. I'm a very positive person and am nearly always smiling. I love to travel and I'm slowly making my way around the world, 2 weeks at a time. I've been to 14 countries so far. Music is a passion of mine, I think it's amazing how the right song can change your mood and how live performances can connect with you. I'm always up to try something new, so long as heights aren't involved. When I'm not working I would rather be out doing something than sitting at home, not to say that I don't love a night watching movies or tv.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats, Exotic Pets, Horses

Music, movies, red wine (not white), dogs, cats, my passport.
When I have free time you can find me checking out the local music scene or at a bar/restaurant with my friends. If I'm not there, I'm probably at the theatre watching a movie (or 2).
This list changes all the time, but the last thing I read was the Hunger Games trilogy.

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: Calendar
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: Calendar
When World War I began in 1914 the United States proclaimed that it would follow a policy of strict neutrality "in thought and deed," and President Wilson firmly believed that peace was the only course of action needed to resolve the European conflict. Many Americans felt the same way, but as the war's atrocities, both fictional and real, were publicized, some politicians and military leaders began to voice their support for military intervention. After the United States declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917 the country witnessed a dramatic mobilization of industry and financial resources to produce trained soldiers, food, munitions, and equipment which were in short supply at the start of America's involvement. The federal government set up hundreds of temporary agencies with over a million new employees to help redirect the nation's economy. America's sheet music industry joined forces with the U.S. Committee on Public Information to help sell the ideals of patriotism, sacrifice, and volunteerism to the American public as the only way to win this war. This special exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History depicts the diverse portrayals of soldiers' lives, recruitment of African-American soldiers, women's support for the war effort, and the country's financial and personal sacrifice through the melodies, lyrics and graphic illustrations of sheet music that were produced between 1917 and 1919.

Home > Press > Innovative anti-biofouling technologies can make shipping more eco-friendly Abstract: Innovative anti-biofouling technologies can make shipping more eco-friendlyItaly | Posted on July 19th, 2011Organisms, such as algae and barnacles, sticking to the lower structure of ships are increasing the required propulsive power. It is estimated that ships' fuel consumption could be reduced by up to forty percent by removing those organisms. Erosive systems containing biocides are mainly used for this purpose. However, the use of eco-friendly alternatives such as silicon based fouling release coatings, nearly all enhanced with an oil additive, have increased lately. Researchers at GE Global Research Center in the U.S. have shown that organisms react differently to the various silicone fouling release coatings, and coating type crossed with oil type is very important when it comes to establishing an organism's attachment strength magnitude. #### For more information, please click here Contacts: Copyright © youris.com If you have a comment, please Contact us.Issuers of news releases, not 7th Wave, Inc. or Nanotechnology Now, are solely responsible for the accuracy of the content.

Hi there,
I'm a recently graduated Registered Nurse from the University of British Columbia Okanagan. I just relocated to the beautiful Sunshine Coast with my partner, Daniel. I love to travel - most of all I like to eat good food, drink craft beers, check out live music and meet new people! Most recently Daniel & I have used airbnb to travel through Spain, Portugal and Morocco!
Robyn has completed online and offline ID verification.
Very nice and polite guests!
Robyn seems to have had a lovely time in Essaouira. We organised a meal for her and she said it was delicious, and that she loved the town.
Los he visto poco, pero han sido una pareja amable y educada, han dejado la habitación muy bien, totalmente recomendable
AFTER her 4 days stay in my apt I wrote this to Robin and her 3 friends: "Dear Robin, at the end of your stay you did not communicate the end of it. I asked twice. Lyubov, my helper, tells me that the towel stock in the linen chest was used heavily, the toilet paper stock there, too. I do not discuss the financial burden - although you know about my very downward calculated renting price - but I am worried about the attitude which was new to me from the airbnb community people. A financial burden appeared in so far as the middle very heavy sewing of the mattress of the extendable sofa opened at its left end. I cannot offer it like this to future guests. What do you think? Did there happen some "exaggerations" with the four of you? asks Heinz" AND: "Hi Robin, we do not need to argue. I communicated quickly the comparative description of my helper. The partially torn apart mattress I saw today. Have fun with your holidays in Europe wishes Heinz"
Enjoy having them here at home . Are sweet , and very tidy . I hope they like Portugal ...Came more often Big Kiss Manuela
Great guest. Got connected with wifi and was off checking out the town.... Positive... left the room in great condition. Hope to see again in the future!

Lucas has completed online and offline ID verification.
What's not to love from Lucas' place?Spacious and nicely decorated room with mini fridge, great neighborhood with a lot (I mean a lot) of cool places to dine in. My favorite is Okonomi right 2 blocks from the apartment. Lucas is a friendly person and He regularly checked if I'd need any helps during my stay. Oh He even prepares bathrobe, hairdryer and iron for me to use. Doors with access code really top these all. Thanks Lucas, would definitely recommend this place!
This apartment is extremely comfortable, very clean and super convenient to the (L train/Lorimer). I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Lucas!
Large well equipped bedroom with king size bed. Well located (5min from subway) with many shops nearby. You should know that you have to cross the corridor for access to the kitchen and the bathroom. Not always very convenient.. Lucas responds quickly to emails and was very welcoming.
It was great staying at Lucas's place. Lucas is very hospitable, the apartment is clean and fairly spacious. The neighborhood is pretty cool too. There's a good number of nice restaurants and bars that are very close, and a grocery store. The subways are pretty close, just a few blocks away, so getting to Manhattan or somewhere else is easy. Getting an Uber is fast and easy too. Great experience overall.
Everything at Lucas's place was great. Big lovely bed, very comfy. The apartment building is very close to the subway, lots of cool bars and restaurants. I recommend.
The room is clean and comfortable. The big mirror in the room helped for me doing yogo right..Lucas is friendly and easygoing. It was a good expereice staying here!
I stayed at Lucas's apartment for a week while looking for my own place. Lucas went above and beyond as host, was always responsive and gave me lots of tips both on apartment hunting and on what to do in the area. The room and the rest of the apartment are bright, clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The location is perfect, with lots of bars and restaurants in walking distance, and is close to the subway for easy access to Manhattan. Highly recommended!
Everything related is completely true. Lucas is nice, respectful and constantly worried about the host, being always in permanent contact for any need or doubt. Lucas place is wonderful...compfortable, sunny, big and so clean. Although it is located in Brooklyn, you have 2 different Metro stations that lead your in less than 15 minutes in Manhattan. I would highly recommend Lucas and his place as a real, convenient and nice choice to be hosted in almost Manhattan.
Lucas is an awesome host!! We had a lovely time in the large master bedroom. Well lit with natural light, room to stretch out, in room refrig. for snacks and leftovers, so good!! Lucas is warm, accommodating, and a wealth of knowledge about cool and fun happenings.Lucas, can't wait to see you next time hon, you are the best!!
Lucas is a really nice and friendly guy. He is polite, respectful, clean, quiet, discret, out going and full of positive energy. It was a pleasure to have him in my place and he is welcome back anytime. Recommended!
Lucas and his family were wonderful guest. They treated my place better than I could ever expect. Communication was perfect and their good nature was very refreshing. I would love to have Lucas and his family stay at my home anytime, hopefully soon. 5-stars all the way...

Design day scheduled for City Park project
The Concordia Parks Project has chosen Play by Design of Ithaca, New York to design the destination playground that is set to be built at City Park next spring. Dennis Willie of Play by Design will be holding a design day on June 20th.
From 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Willie will interview preschool through high school kids at Concordia Elementary School during the Concordia After School Program (CAP) to get an idea of what the kids would like to see in the playground.
From 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Willie will interview kids at City Park during Summer Playground. All kids are welcome; however, those not enrolled in CAP or Summer Playground must be accompanied by a parent.
From 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Willie will begin designing in the high school conference room. This is a photograph opportunity for media only.
From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. there will be a public unveiling of the design for the playground in the high school auditorium, where Willie will explain the schematics of the new playground. Cookies and drinks will be available, along with a table that will have information on how to volunteer or donate.
Fun, child-centered activities will follow the meeting on the high school's north lawn.
The Concordia Parks Project's goal is to put together a destination playground using only volunteers and completely funded by donations. The project has received $15,000 in donations and would like to gain a total of $150,000 by building week in April.
The playground will be built in five days and the project needs around eighty volunteers to help build each day.
To volunteer you can help fundraise, get the word out about the project, find volunteers, locate tools, purchase materials, work with local businesses to get donated materials, supply and organize food for two meals for each of five build days, coordinate youth involvement, organize care for children so that parents can participate, work to ensure accessibility for children and adults, organize and oversee experienced building crews, and develop aesthetics and special features.

Great Financial Disasters of Our Time: The DeLorean Fiasco - Back to the future
The DeLorean gull-wing car, a revolutionary example of motor engineering, attracts upwards of 2,000 fans at its annual conventions, most of them from the US.
DeLorean's downfall, in 1982, came after barely 8,500 models had been manufactured. The firm collapsed in a welter of recriminations, lawsuits and the trial of its founder on drug charges.
That such an experiment should have happened at all was a miracle, born out of the unshakeable conviction of one man, John DeLorean. His dream coincided with the near-desperate need for Labour, in government during the late Seventies, to prove that it could regenerate the Northern Irish economy - helping to solve the Six Counties' sectarian stalemate at the same time.
Back then, John DeLorean had a major advantage: credibility - despite sniggers after revelations that he had plastic surgery to extend his chin and appear more lantern-jawed. DeLorean's reputation was built as general manager of Pontiac, part of the General Motors empire, where he set production records still to be surpassed.
He sensationally resigned in the mid-Seventies and almost immediately announced plans for a new Dream Car, using unleaded fuel and a catalytic converter. No need for welding or resprays - just clip on a new panel; the underbody would be non-rusting lightweight fibreglass; and, with gull- wing doors and a stainless steel body it would look like nothing else on the road.
Governments around the world fought bitterly with each other to offer DeLorean grants to build on their patch. Finally, the search for a virgin site led to Northern Ireland, with Puerto Rico narrowly pipped at the post.
Within four years, first Labour, then Mrs Thatcher's Government - poured pounds 85m into a factory, supposed to employ more than 2,500 people in impoverished West Belfast.
The DMC 12 seemed to justify the extravagant hopes placed in it. Then the carping started: it was not powerful enough, every time one touched the body work, it reflected their handprints.
More importantly, the company lurched from one cash crisis to another, dependent on handouts doled out with increasing reluctance by Tory ministers. Endless demands for cash were accompanied by evasion as to how the previous tranche had been spent.
The end came in 1981, when DeLorean was arrested in California for cocaine trafficking (he was subsequently acquitted on grounds of entrapment).
Meanwhile, millions of pounds meant to pay Lotus, the car's design consultants, vanished without trace into a Swiss bank account. A later investigation suggested DeLorean, who had promised to pour his personal fortune into the venture, had just half a million dollars invested in it.
Since his drug trial, John DeLorean, now 72 years old, has faced one financial crisis after another. He still has his dreams. Only 12 months ago, he announced plans for another car venture, this time in the US.
He needn't bother. A remarkable 8,000 Delorean cars are still about. Ironically, what was planned as a mass-production model is now a coveted limited-edition classic car, with mint DeLoreans fetching up to pounds 35,000.
Their futuristic design means they appear regularly in sci-fi films, most notably Back to the Future. Except that, as some erstwhile DeLorean workers are fond of pointing out, every time Michael J Fox gets out of the time machine, its doors sag slightly - a common production problem at the time.
A failure then, but on a heroic scale.

Kinda cool, but how long with a hard drive version of an iPod last on a Vespa? Not long. Still, other newer models should work fine. However, between the stupid v-twins with their illegal straight pipes and no mufflers, rice racers and their 2000 watt stereo and ground altering bass, Joe Six-Pack and his 4x4 with off-road tires that make as much noise rice racer's stereo system, and now Vespa's with stereo systems, we are all headed into a world where noise pollution abounds.

Hey fahrenheipod 451 dont hate cause you cant afford a booming system. keep playing your stock stereo with a surround system by Kraco. it takes serious money to build a decent system. i'll be damn if i spend a couple thousand on my stereo system and am forced to turn it down cause some yuppie finds it offensive to his delicate ear passages. my mute button on my remote is only reserved for nosy cops. other than that your screwed.

Mr. Obvious,
I am supporting legislation that will affect nimrods, such as yourself that insist on being self-centered in their own little world thinking that their actions are of no consequence to others and that they are entitled. More power to ya if you lose your hearing even quicker than age warrants, but don't self-impose your nonsense on others or you'll soon get a taste of your own medicine. Laws are wonderful as they accomplish great things and are foundations of great societies. You can thank those like you and the v-twin crowd for the new laws making their way through the system. If fact, let me thank you in advance. Also, if you've been following some of the newer enforcement technologies your mute button will do you little good. Don't ya just love tech!? Put your money in investments versus wasting it on a sound system that will soon be illegal. Oh…too late…sorry.

that'd sure look sweet on my PX200, except that the Vespa's 2 stroke engine is incredibly loud, and that, coupled with the helmet laws here, means a set of earbuds inside my helmet is probably a simpler solution

Well well it seems we have a debate going on in here. yeah lets tack up those new laws to the laws i already abide by. like not doing 100 mph and not beating on my female friends. ok just kidding on the wife beating. laws are meant to be broken or was that rules. i forgets. anyways. i was breaking that new so called law way before they even thought of writing one up. if i can say anything i want as far as free speech goes i should be able to blast my system whenever and wherever i go. sucks for you if your sensitive ears cant handle it. as for me going deaf well yeah i guess i never hear it that loud. im crazy but not stupid. looks like you ran out of sticking points farenwhateveryournameispod.

Mr. Obvious,
"if i can say anything i want as far as free speech goes i should be able to blast my system whenever and wherever i go. sucks for you if your sensitive ears cant handle it."
Another bloody fool who has no conception of "freedom" as true freedom entails responsibility and accountable or it is not freedom at all…one day you'll learn that you are not alone on this planet and that your actions affect others, but as they say, "What goes around, comes around." Hey, but I love good humor and the, "I can say anything I want…free speech…blah, blah, blah…" made my day. Thanks!

I can remember in the 80's, when I was a child (the late 80's;), people used to put speakers on their vespa just like the pic.
to create sound they used an auto-radio (is this the right word).
Time moves on and now, it's pretty the same, except you use the Ipod.
I'm in Italy, at that time quite all had a vespa…

3-D Sound Intensity Measurements: Accuracy Enhancements With Virtual-Instrument-Based Technology
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1820 - 1829
Cited by: Papers (6)This paper describes a method that allows accuracy and bandwidth enhancements in 3D sound intensity measurements. Commercial 3D probes are usually set up with three mutually perpendicular 1D p-p probes and, thus, arranged with six microphones; although sound intensity can be calculated with 15 independent pairs of transducers, only the three "primary" pairs that are aligned with the coordinate system axes. The other 12 "secondary" pairs consist of mutually perpendicular microphones, which are placed at a distance that is radic2 times shorter than the primary one. The main idea of the proposed method is to average the intensity that is measured on primary and secondary pairs. This leads to a larger bandwidth, thanks to the shorter separating distance between secondary pairs. The intrinsic p-p method high- frequency sensitivity loss is partially recovered, starting from the theoretical plane wave expression. Measurements of different axes are weighted with coefficients that are computed by optimizing the measurement uncertainty. Errors that are due to the metrological characteristics of the transducers and the effects of environmental conditions are compensated. Experimental results showed that a p-p probe arranged with half-inch microphones that are placed at a distance of 50 mm allows reliable measurements up to 2.5 kHz, whereas a commercial probe bandwidth with the same configuration is usually 1250 Hz.

Suitability of Searching and Representing Multimedia Learning Resources in a 3-D Virtual Gaming Environment
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1830 - 1839
Cited by: Papers (9)Search engines usually publish search results on web pages that are filled with a certain number of matched records that can be further navigated through successive back and forth operations. While this approach proves to be useful, it fails to show the context and relationship among displayed results. We argue that new and intuitive user interfaces, such as 3D virtual environment interfaces, may provide an alternative to the traditional presentation techniques, particularly in a learning environment where learners are looking for multimedia learning resources that match their interests. We propose a 3D car gaming environment such as a search metaphor and analyze the suitability of such an approach in terms of user perception, interaction, visual quality, graphics-rendering performance, and other parameters. Our experiment suggests that the proposed approach not only shows an intuitive way of information visualization but also integrates education and entertainment to serve the vision of Edutainment.

AdHapticA: Adaptive Haptic Application Framework
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1840 - 1851
Cited by: Papers (4)Research performed in the area of haptics has produced some remarkable results with a variety of haptic devices. However, haptic-based applications are designed to consider only a particular haptic device. Therefore, the functionality of a haptic-based system is limited by the chosen device's features, such as workspace, device's inertia, friction, number of points of interaction, number of degrees of freedom, and maximum force that can be exerted. In short, these haptic-based systems are limited for use with a certain haptic device. Without a doubt, the need for a software tool to adapt existing haptic-based systems to the capabilities of another haptic device is evident. On the other hand, one of the main advantages of using haptic devices is the possibility of saving data during the haptic interaction. Our proposed framework, which is called Adaptive Haptic Application (AdHapticA), deals with both issues: It automatically adapts a haptic-based system to be used with another haptic device and saves the corresponding haptic data for quantitative evaluation. The AdHapticA framework can be used to study the feasibility of certain haptic devices to meet the requirements of an application. A case study is presented to evaluate single-point interaction and hand exoskeleton haptic devices for authentication purposes by using the same virtual scenario. The applicability of the proposed framework is shown, and the results obtained from the haptic data are captured when a particular application is performed with either single-point (desktop device) or multipoint interaction devices (hand exoskeleton). Therefore, the results have shown that current hand exoskeleton devices are less suitable for tasks that require a certain level of precision, like haptic-biometric-based tasks. View full abstract»

Projection-Based Force Reflection Algorithm for Stable Bilateral Teleoperation Over Networks
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1854 - 1865
Cited by: Papers (16)The problem of stable force-reflecting teleoperation is addressed, where the communication between the master and the slave is subject to multiple time-varying, discontinuous, and possibly unbounded communication delays. A new force reflection (FR) algorithm is proposed, which improves the stability of the system without decreasing its transparency. Based on the estimate of human forces provided by the high-gain input observer, the proposed algorithm restricts the reflected force in such a way that it eliminates the motion of the master induced by the FR signal without changing the human perception of the environmental force. It is shown that the proposed FR algorithm allows us to achieve stability of the system for an arbitrarily high FR gain and arbitrarily low damping and stiffness of the master manipulator. The stability analysis is based on the input-to-output stability small-gain theorem for systems with multiple time-varying communication delays. View full abstract»
Six-Degree-of-Freedom Haptic Rendering in Virtual Teleoperation
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1866 - 1875
Cited by: Papers (8)Six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) haptic rendering of the telerobotic operation method using virtual joint coupling (VJC) is proposed. This algorithm couples six joints of a virtual robot with those of a 6-DoF haptic device based on a spring-damper model to render force and torque feedback to a user and drive the virtual robot in the teleoperation simulation. Our rigid body dynamics is decoupled from the haptic rendering loop with an open dynamic simulation library Open Dynamics Engine, which runs at a lower update rate, thereby alleviating computation demand and improving the stability of the system. To illustrate the role of haptics and physically based simulation in teleoperation, a path-following experiment with virtual constraints is carried out. An experiment of virtual assembly, in which a user performs assembly tasks by means of manipulation of a gripper mounted at the end of a virtual robot, is also implemented to verify the VJC algorithm.

Haptic Virtual Rehabilitation Exercises for Poststroke Diagnosis
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1876 - 1884
Cited by: Papers (18)Nowadays, stroke is one of the most frequent causes of severe adult disability in the world. Virtual reality and haptic technologies have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective diagnosis and rehabilitation intervention. The objective of this paper is to develop and test a set of five virtual exercises on top of a framework, which is designed for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with hand impairments. We have implemented task-oriented exercises based on well-established and common exercises, namely the Jebsen Test of Hand Function and the Box and Block Test. These include moving a cup, arranging blocks, navigating a maze, training with a dumbbell, and grasping a rubber ball. Furthermore, key performance measures (metrics) are proposed for each exercise to quantitatively evaluate and judge the performance of stroke patients. Our evaluation of these exercises shows promising potential to define ldquogoldenrdquo reference metrics for healthy subjects, against which the performance of a patient is compared. This will facilitate the ability of occupational therapists to assess the patient's progress. View full abstract»
Improving Performance in HPC Centers by Modeling Users Through an Evolutionary Virtual Interface
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1885 - 1893An agent-based profiling approach is presented in this paper in the form of a virtual interface that models user behavior and satisfaction with the objective of improving the performance of high-performance computing (HPC) centers. The interface's function is to translate user requests and satisfaction criteria into what is really necessary, thus permitting the optimization of the HPC center's scheduling, taking into account the predicted user satisfaction together with the objectives of the management of the center in terms of resource usage and cost. The system is built using an evolutionary agent-based profiling architecture where agents are evolved in real time to adapt to the different users. These agents cooperate with the scheduling mechanism, providing resource usage estimations for the different tasks, as well as predicting the effect of possible strategies on user satisfaction. This paper focuses on the user behavior modeling component, although the global architecture is also presented. Some experiments are carried out where the proposed architecture interacts with a real job-management system (JMS) (sun grid engine). They clearly show that modeling the user and taking user satisfaction into account helps to improve system performance. View full abstract»
Implementation, Measurement, and Analysis of an Image-Based Virtual Environment Streaming Protocol for Wireless Mobile Devices
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1894 - 1907
Cited by: Papers (10)Remote exploration of detailed virtual environments (VEs) on mobile devices with acceptable frame rates has become a challenging and interesting research topic. With recent advances in mobile computing devices with communication and multimedia capabilities, remote VE walk-through and real-time streaming for mobile devices have opened a new class of 3-D VE exploration-based applications such as virtual guides and malls, online gaming, training, and monitoring, just to name a few. Furthermore, emergency preparedness types of applications can benefit from mobile 3-D visualization systems to support emergency responders with critical information about the disaster area. The combination of sensor networks with VEs can provide a physical environment monitoring and measurement system with live information about the target environment that can be visualized in real time. The challenge lies in how to provide a rich and detailed 3-D VE on thin mobile devices that are known for their lack of proper resources to process large-scale 3-D geometric data. Our approach consists of moving the demanding geometry-rendering task to a dedicated remote rendering server that streams the rendering output to a client, leaving only the displaying and certain minor image-based rendering tasks to the local, less-powerful mobile hardware. In addition, wireless networks pose significant challenges to multimedia streaming due, for the most part, to the mobility-induced changes in bandwidth and errors in the wireless channel. In this paper, we focus on the implementation, measurement, and analysis of an image-based VE streaming strategy. We define a new approach to remote rendering and interactive visualization of 3-D VEs on thin mobile devices. To this end, we propose end-to-end streaming and rate control protocols, as well as buffering and scheduling mechanisms to support the requirements of bandwidth-demanding multimedia systems. The main purpose of our proposed rate control scheme is to achieve- - both high end-to-end throughput and low frame-rate fluctuation to adapt data traffic to the frequent changes of the bandwidth and error rate present in wireless networks. We discuss the design of our proposed solutions and report on their performance evaluation through an extensive set of simulation experiments. View full abstract»
An Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation Technique Using RFID Technology
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1908 - 1917
Cited by: Papers (31)This paper presents an innovative mobile robot navigation technique using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Navigation based on processing some analog features of an RFID signal is a promising alternative to different types of navigation methods in the state of the art. The main idea is to exploit the ability of a mobile robot to navigate a priori unknown environments without a vision system and without building an approximate map of the robot workspace, as is the case in most other navigation algorithms. This paper discusses how this is achieved by placing RFID tags in the 3-D space so that the lines linking their projections on the ground define the ldquofree waysrdquo along which the robot can (or is desired to) move. The suggested algorithm is capable of reaching a target point in its a priori unknown workspace, as well as tracking a desired trajectory with a high precision. The proposed solution offers a modular, computationally efficient, and cost-effective alternative to other navigation techniques for a large number of mobile robot applications, particularly for service robots, such as, for instance, in large offices and assembly lines. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated through a number of computer simulations considering testbeds of various complexities. View full abstract»
Neural Network Mapping and Clustering of Elastic Behavior From Tactile and Range Imaging for Virtualized Reality Applications
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1918 - 1928
Cited by: Papers (7)To fully reach its potential, virtualized reality needs to go beyond the modeling of rigid bodies and introduce accurate representations of deformable objects. This paper explores neural networks and vision-based and tactile measurement strategies to investigate the intricate processes of acquisition and mapping of properties characterizing deformable objects. An original composite neural network framework is applied to guide the tactile probing by clustering measurements representing uniform elasticity regions and, therefore, direct sensors toward areas of elasticity transitions where higher sampling density is required. The network characterizes the relationship between surface deformation and forces that are exemplified in nonrigid bodies. Beyond serving as a planner for the acquisition of measurements, the proposed composite neural architecture allows the encoding of the complex force/deformation relationship without the need for sophisticated mathematical modeling tools. Experimental results prove the validity and the feasibility of the proposed approach. View full abstract»
Three-Dimensional Password for More Secure Authentication
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1929 - 1938
Cited by: Papers (10) | Patents (1)Current authentication systems suffer from many weaknesses. Textual passwords are commonly used; however, users do not follow their requirements. Users tend to choose meaningful words from dictionaries, which make textual passwords easy to break and vulnerable to dictionary or brute force attacks. Many available graphical passwords have a password space that is less than or equal to the textual password space. Smart cards or tokens can be stolen. Many biometric authentications have been proposed; however, users tend to resist using biometrics because of their intrusiveness and the effect on their privacy. Moreover, biometrics cannot be revoked. In this paper, we present and evaluate our contribution, i.e., the 3-D password. The 3-D password is a multifactor authentication scheme. To be authenticated, we present a 3-D virtual environment where the user navigates and interacts with various objects. The sequence of actions and interactions toward the objects inside the 3-D environment constructs the user's 3-D password. The 3-D password can combine most existing authentication schemes such as textual passwords, graphical passwords, and various types of biometrics into a 3-D virtual environment. The design of the 3-D virtual environment and the type of objects selected determine the 3-D password key space. View full abstract»
Characterization of the Dielectric and Pyroelectric Properties of Ferroelectric Material
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1939 - 1948
Cited by: Papers (1)Ferroelectrics are suitable for the realization of sensors because their characteristics depend on modifying quantities such as temperature, electric fields, and pressure. The dependence of the dielectric and pyroelectric constant of ferroelectric materials on temperature is large and close to the Curie temperature, and this behavior can be exploited for the realization of capacitive sensors with high sensitivity in such a range of temperature. In this paper, a convenient solution for the investigation of the dielectric and pyroelectric coefficients of a ferroelectric device is discussed, along with a characterization tool developed to measure them. The architecture adopted was developed to study the aforementioned material properties up to the Curie temperature. A general-purpose data acquisition card and instruments usually available in research and educational laboratories were used, thus guaranteeing the low-cost feature, easy reproducibility, and flexibility.

Application of Bispectrum Estimation for Time-Frequency Analysis of Ground Surveillance Doppler Radar Echo Signals
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1949 - 1957
Cited by: Papers (6)A microwave coherent homodyne and polarimetric ground surveillance Doppler radar is employed for collecting the radar returns from moving objects. Nonstationary nonlinearly frequency-modulated and multicomponent backscattered signals are analyzed and described as a sum of Doppler frequency-shifted polynomial chirp-like components. Instantaneous frequencies corresponding to the radiation backscattered by the different parts of a moving spatially distributed object are extracted from the time-varying bimagnitude estimates of transient sample sequences separated from the total received signal by a sliding window and projected into the time-frequency (TF) domain. Experimental investigations demonstrate a clean recovery of evolutionary phase-coupled harmonics for such targets as a swinging metallic sphere or a walking human. The computed TF distributions can be used in radar automatic target recognition systems to retrieve new data for the classification and recognition of ground moving objects. View full abstract»
Crack Shape Reconstruction in Eddy Current Testing Using Machine Learning Systems for Regression
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1958 - 1968
Cited by: Papers (25)Nondestructive testing techniques for the diagnosis of defects in solid materials can follow three steps, i.e., detection, location, and characterization. The solutions currently on the market allow for good detection and location of defects, but their characterization in terms of the exact determination of defect shape and dimensions is still an open question. This paper proposes a method for the reliable estimation of crack shape and dimensions in conductive materials using a suitable nondestructive instrument based on the eddy current principle and machine learning system postprocessing. After the design and tuning stages, a performance comparison between the two machine learning systems [artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM)] was carried out. An experimental validation carried out on a number of specimens with different known cracks confirmed the suitability of the proposed approach for defect characterization. View full abstract»
A Time-Domain Approach for the Analysis of Nonstationary Signals in Power Systems
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1969 - 1977
Cited by: Papers (5)Voltage and current waveforms produced by several power systems are often characterized by a wide spectrum that contains numerous components, namely the fundamental, harmonics, and interharmonics. They can be properly analyzed through discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based methods only if they remain stationary in time; in fact, in the presence of nonstationary components, DFT-based approaches do not grant reliable results because of the absence of a well-defined periodicity interval. The digital signal processing method proposed in this paper aims at analyzing a large category of nonstationary signals observed in power systems. It is capable of analyzing waveforms produced by power systems that seemingly operate in steady-state conditions, in which time-varying components represent anomalies, as well as waveforms generated by some power apparatuses, which supply nonstationary waveforms by design. The wide range of applicability of the proposed method is granted by a suitable processing scheme, including distributed filtering and phase unwrapping operations. Distributed filtering operations are performed to distinguish and separately analyze the major components contained in complex waveforms. Phase unwrapping operations are needed in the presence of nonstationary components characterized by heavy drifts and/or large swings in frequency. View full abstract»
Circuit Testing Using the Principles of Self–Nonself Discrimination
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1978 - 1983As complex very-large-scale integration circuit testing using external automatic test equipment is becoming increasingly expensive, built-in self-test (BIST) is an alternative technique that can significantly reduce the cost of testing. On the other hand, artificial immune systems have been considered as one of the most promising nature-inspired techniques used for novelty detection systems. One of the main features of such systems is self-nonself discrimination, which enables the body to distinguish any foreign cell from the body's own cell. In this paper, based on the principles of self-nonself discrimination, an immune-based output response analyzer for BIST is presented. Using the proposed scheme, the evaluation of the circuit under test (CUT) is performed by a set of immune-based detectors that are capable of detecting faulty output responses. Since the number of detectors is proportional to the hardware overhead consumed by the scheme, it is also presented as an optimization algorithm to reduce the number of detectors. Using the reduced set of immune-based detectors, zero aliasing is achieved, and, in addition, the evaluation of the CUT is performed during the test. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. View full abstract»
Open-Ended Coaxial Probe: Model Limitations

The procedure is illustrated by an application of the method to a standard coaxial cable probe, a permittivity range of interest in the food industry and, as an empirical model, the well-known "lumped capacitor model".

Improvement of the Voltage Dependence of High-Voltage AC–DC Transfer Differences at the NMIJ
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1992 - 1997
Cited by: Papers (1)A new AC-DC comparator system of 20-1000 V has been developed at the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) for the calibration of ac-dc thermal voltage converters (TVCs), which are used as national ac-dc transfer standards. The ac-dc transfer differences of high-voltage transfer standards were evaluated by a traditional step-up procedure. The voltage dependence of the ac-dc transfer difference was observed in the earlier step-up procedures over 300 V, as reported by the latest international intercomparison. The experimental results for high-voltage TVCs with several different range resistors at the NMIJ suggest that the voltage dependence may primarily be caused by input connectors of range resistors and the change in the resistance value of the resistor and TVC modules due to heating from resistors. This paper describes the voltage dependence improvement of ac-dc transfer differences over 300 V at the NMIJ. View full abstract»
Evaluation and Analysis of Heuristic Techniques for Vector Ordering of VLSI Test Sets
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 1998 - 2004
Cited by: Papers (1)Vector ordering is an essential task in testing very large scale integration systems because it affects this process from two perspectives: 1) power consumption and 2) correlation among test data. The former feature is crucial and, if not properly controlled, may result in permanent failure of the device under test (DUT). The latter feature is also important because correlation is captured by coding schemes to efficiently compress test data and ease memory requirements of automatic test equipment (ATE) while reducing volume and lowering test application time. Vector ordering, however, is NP-complete. This paper presents an evaluation of different heuristic techniques for vector ordering using the 1985 and 1989 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS85 and ISCAS89, respectively) benchmark circuits in terms of run time and solution quality. For this application, it is shown that the best heuristic technique is not the one based on the famous Christofides or Lin-Kernighan criteria but on the multifragment technique. It has been shown that the selection of an appropriate heuristic can lead to an increase in the compression ratio of up to 178% and a reduction in the power consumption during test of up to 46%.

FPGA Implementation of a Digital Sequential Phase-Shift Stroboscope for In-Plane Vibration Measurements With Subpixel Accuracy
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 2005 - 2011
Cited by: Papers (3)This paper describes a sequential phase-shift stroboscope and a subpixel imaging system that is able to measure with high resolution weak in-plane harmonic motions, such as those of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The synchronization of both MEMS stimulus and light strobe can be obtained by either using the camera output frame signal or driving the external trigger of the camera, depending on the operation principle of the camera. Experimental results concern a small silicon cantilever resonator excited in its first and second vibration modes and a quartz tuning fork. Two optical configurations have been developed. The first one is based on the use of a macroobjective for large fields of view with micrometer resolution displacement measurement, and the second is based on an optical microscope for weak amplitude vibration measurements with a resolution down to a few nanometers. The whole logic unit of the stroboscopic signal generator is implemented into a low-cost field-programmable gate array, thus offering high flexibility. View full abstract»
Internet-Enabled Calibration Services: Design of a Secure Calibration System
Publication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 2012 - 2018
Cited by: Papers (2)A growing number of measurements in the commercial and industrial sectors need to refer to traceability to national and international standards. Instrument and reference standard calibration is resource and time consuming. Since many available digital instruments are provided with some communication interfaces and Internet-enabled metrology has rapidly been developing in recent years, it is possible to create an actual remote calibration system with remote control capabilities. This approach addresses a wide range of possible applications that can drive many kinds of different devices and can be easily upgraded. This paper focuses on some of the security problems regarding remotely executed Internet-enabled calibration processes. View full abstract»
