A wide-ranging alcohol measure that would allow shoppers to pick up fifths of Jack Daniels in the same stores where they buy groceries passed its first House test Wednesday over the objection of Florida's largest grocer. Members of the House Business & Professions Subcommittee voted 9-4 to advance the measure (HB 107), which would remove an 80-year-old state law that requires liquor stores to be stand-alone facilities. The bill has drawn opposition from independent liquor stores, some county sheriffs and Lakeland-based Publix. Meanwhile, support has come from retailers including Wal-Mart and Target.

When the sun shines, the beer will flow. That's the case at Swamp Head Brewery. The Gainesville beer producer became the first solar-powered brewery in Florida after installing solar panels on the roof of its new location off Southwest 34th Street. From the beginning, the goal for Swamp Head has been sustainability. Luke Kemper, owner and operator, said, while the price to install the panels was high, it was important to act upon the eco-friendly ideals the brewery has preached from its beginning in 2008.

Turns out Cycle had been ranked among the best in the world by one of the most highly regarded sources for craft beer enthusiasts, RateBeer. Dozark saw increased traffic for the St. Petersburg brewery on social media. The surprise is just a series of recent successes for the craft brewery, part of a trend of breweries in Tampa Bay and the country making and selling artisanal beer. In January, Dozark signed with J.J. Taylor Distributing Florida Inc. The distributor delivers to 17 counties in the state, a presence Cycle will reach over time, according to J.J.'s website.

Florida State University baseball fans may soon get the chance to wash down their peanuts with some suds. The university is waiting on final approvals and must hash out last-minute details before fans can buy beer at Dick Howser Stadium. For months the university has been considering such a move. If university administration and the vendor Aramark approve the idea, beer could be served this season. "We are exploring beer sales at baseball games to accommodate our fans," said Associate Athletic D#mce_temp_url#irector Rob Wilson. "We do not anticipate that this will be a lengthy process and hope to finalize our plans shortly."

If you can't beat 'em, buy' em. Despite its snarky Budweiser ad during the Super Bowl poking fun at craft beer, Anheuser-Busch has been steadily buying craft breweries around the country. Could Tampa's own Cigar City Brewing be next? Founder and owner Joey Redner on Friday confirmed that the beer company's representatives have reached out to him about buying his Tampa-based business. Anheuser-Busch has a long history in the Tampa Bay area, having once operated a brewery and the Busch Gardens theme park here.

The Brass Tap, a Florida-based craft beer and wine bar, may soon be ready to uncork a local outlet. The local franchisers, businessman Keith DiPirro and surgeon Ken Eckhert, are close to finalizing a deal that could see the first Brass Tap in New York state open by this fall. Among the locations being considered is Uniland Development's 250 Delaware Building, which is due to open this summer and will be anchored by Delaware North's corporate headquarters.

Gabe Grass is a patient guy. Good thing. Otherwise he might have pulled his hair out by now. Grass, the founder of Grasslands Brewing Co., is finally ready to unlock the doors and welcome the public for a soft opening. He told me a few days ago that he fully expects to be open by Saturday, which just happens to be Valentine's Day. (Nothing says true love like a pint in a new watering hole.) What a journey it has been. I first met Gabe at Proof's inaugural Florida Tap Invitational in September 2013. Gabe and his partner, Scott Hall, were wearing Grasslands shirts and talking excitedly about nailing down a location and opening their craft brewery by the following spring.

So much for a "clean" growler bill. A bill scheduled to be discussed by a Senate panel on Wednesday originally was intended to simply permit half-gallon sized take-home beer jugs in Florida. Now, a proposed substitute for the measure contains several other changes to alcoholic beverage law. The rewrite still allows 64-ounce growlers, the name for the jugs, and proposes a misdemeanor crime for anyone who fills a growler without the proper state license. Craft brewers and the state's big beer distributors, often at odds, agreed this year to back a "clean" bill — that is, one that just allowed 64-ounce growlers.

Swamp Head Brewery has moved into its new building with triple the beer production capacity, triple the tasting room space, more than triple the parking with just under 70 spaces and — an important touch for tasting room guests — six times the restroom stalls, for a total of six instead of one. Scherer Construction is putting the finishing touches on the 13,500-square-foot facility after breaking ground last July, but the stainless steel fermentation tanks are in and gearing up for full production.

When you pour yourself a cold one, you're probably not thinking about the complex series of biochemical reactions that take place in order for malted barley, hops, water and yeast to turn into beer. But local craft brewers are taking the chemistry of beer seriously. They're partnering with the University of South Florida St. Petersburg on an internship program that is sending students from science disciplines into new labs built into brew houses in St. Petersburg and Tampa.

Two Jacksonville fixtures snagged spots on RateBeer's "best of" list for 2014. Beer fan favorite Kickbacks Gastropub, and sister restaurant Goozlepipe & Guttyworks, won the title of best Florida restaurant in the beer retailer ratings, while Grassroots Natural Market was named best grocery store statewide. The ratings were based on beer enthusiasts' reviews on their website, RateBeer.com. Kickbacks and Grassroots aren't the only Florida natives to be recognized – Cigar City Brewing of Tampa won major accolades as the No. 1 Florida brewery and for its Hunahpu's Imperial Stout-Double Barrel Aged selection.

The relationship between Florida's distributors and craft brewers admittedly got off to a rocky start when small brewers didn't get the container size they wanted – and should have had – years ago. Things escalated when the Brewers Guild abruptly cancelled two consecutive meetings and put out an attack video. But it's more critical than ever now to stop, take a breath, relax, and focus together on what unites us – and it truly is far greater than what divides us. Because what unites us are the aggressive efforts to preserve market share by Anheuser-Busch-InBev, the world's biggest beer company. Last week ABI announced plans to buy Elysian, one of the top brewers in the craft-friendly state of Washington – the most recent in a "buying spree", as the Wall Street Journal described it, of comparatively small craft brewers including 10 Barrel, Blue Point and Goose Island.
By: Stafford Daily
Anheuser-Busch reported today that it is buying Seattle based Elysian Brewing Company expanding further its collection of craft brewers in and around the United States. Anheuser-Busch is the US arm of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA which is the world's largest brewer. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The company which makes world famous brands like Bud Lite and Budweiser has been combating softening sales by buying up increasingly popular craft brewers. In a report released by the Brewers Association, it was reported that while beer sales declined by 1.9 percent nationwide, craft beer sales have increased by 17 percent over the past year. This is not the first acquisition by Anheuser-Busch. In October last year, the company reported that it was buying 10 Barrel Brewing in Oregon.

J.J. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc. is proud to announce the distribution partnership with Cycle Brewing of St. Petersburg. Pinellas County Craft beer pioneer Doug Dozark founded Cycle Brewing in 2012. Today, Cycle Brewing has become one of the most respected Craft breweries in Florida. Doug has made a significant presence working in Tampa Bay's brewing community over the past 8 years. He has brewed commercially on a variety of different size brew houses, managed production for a large brewery, and has built and established three breweries. He also selects and contracts his choice of raw ingredients and operates an extremely successful brewery tasting room.

The big Louisiana brewery from the North Shore of Pontchartrain just released a new India Pale Ale worth having a party over. Wrought Iron is Abita's first foray into a year-round West Coast-style IPA, which means it's big on the hops. Honey-gold with a head that remains from 12th Night to Lent, Wrought Iron's scents and flavors are as big as the Zulu and Rex parades are loud. Mosaic hops add mango, Equinox adds lemon-lime and Apollo loads up the grapefruit. With citrus peel for days, sweet pale malt takes care of balancing out the bitterness. Grab yourself a Wrought Iron and catch the Krewe of Lafitte Parade from our front patio. Time to make some new Mardi Gras memories around an Abita or two.

Despite ongoing capacity constraints, Cigar City Brewing managed to grow its annual production by more than 28 percent in 2014, selling over 44,000 barrels of beer, founder Joey Redner told Brewbound. The growth was driven primarily by the brewery's top-selling flagship, Jai Alai IPA, which accounted for more than half — about 23,000 barrels — of all barrels sold. Cigar City sold just over 5,000 barrels of its second most popular brew, Florida Cracker, Redner said.

When it comes to beer, there is a world of possibilities for people to choose from. Destin Commons' newest business will bring that world locals and tourists starting Monday. World of Beer opens tomorrow in the expanded portion of Destin Commons. The new tavern and restaurant will feature 53 beers on draft and another roughly 500 in bottle. "World of Beer really is the world of beer," said Andrew Johnstone, mar-ket development partner for World of Beer. "Every one of our beers is local somewhere, that's one of the things we try to bring to our taverns."

The Brass Tap joins a stable of craft beer bars in Orlando's Mills 50 neighborhood with their opening next Monday (Jan. 26) in the Mills Park complex, according to a publicist. The Orlando location is the latest for the franchise of eateries, offering a large selection of craft beers on tap and pub grub. Close neighbors for the bar include Firebirds Wood Fired Grill and Segafredo, a cafe and cocktail lounge that opened earlier this month. Facebook fans of The Brass Tap will get a sneak peek at an exclusive party this Saturday, with doors opening to the general public on Monday.

The Beer Industry of Florida (BIF) supports limited retail privileges for craft brewers, as we clearly stated during the 2014 legislative session. We've long maintained that brewers and distributors make great business partners, and that craft brewers should benefit from a well-defined, limited exception in the statute to operate as retailers. We've supported the 64-ounce container, also known as the 'growler,' for three years in a row, with no strings attached. "Even though we stand for limited retail privileges for craft brewers, we adamantly oppose the deregulation of alcohol. The administrative challenge filed by the Florida Retail Federation and the Florida Independent Spirits Association highlights the fact that significant clarification of the rules is needed in the licensing process.

A Bradenton lawmaker's legislation could make it easier for craft brewers to sell their beers from their taprooms. State Rep. Greg Steube, R-Bradenton, filed House Bill 107 on Dec. 15 to provide a new license and path for Florida craft breweries to do business. Last week, both the Florida Retail Federation and Florida Independent Spirts Association filed separate suits against the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation...

Fort Lauderdale's new Craft Beer Cartel has the largest selection of craft beer in South Florida, a nano brewery where Native Brewing Company tests new recipes, a home brew supply shop -- and the capper: a mosaic floor made of bottle caps. The floor was handmade by Riverside regulars, beer geeks, home brewers, friends, family and beer representatives over the last three months. The design is made of approximately 300,000 bottle caps that have been collected over the last 5 years in a glossy arrangement of craft beer brands, college logos, mantras, company tags and abstract art.

The air is right for a rich, strong, warming beer. This is the perfect time of year for a hearty Russian Imperial Stout. The Brits loved to name beer after its destination. India Pale Ale was their aggressively hopped beer intended for troops in far-away Bharat, while Russian Imperial Stout was basically a mail-order for Empress Catharine II in frigid St. Petersburg. The much-beloved ruler of Russia asked English brewers to craft a beer for her that could combat the bitterness of the Baltic's harsh winter conditions.

What a year in beer. Sometimes I can't quite believe how far we've come. In what feels like the time it takes to drain a keg, Tallahassee – and Florida, for that matter – has transformed from Big Beer lager country to a sophisticated craft beer world where enthusiasts can spend hours discussing the latest specialty ales from Cigar City. I have been chronicling the local craft beer scene for more than eight years, often ending December with a "beer in review" story to mark whatever developments took place in greater Tallahassee. This annual piece has had an increasingly positive tone that reflected the dramatic changes in the landscape for those of us eager to enjoy hand-crafted ales and stouts. But 2014 was special, an unrivaled 12 months of terrific beer news.
By: Pensacola News Journal
I find it incredibly appropriate that Lagunitas Brewing has a beer loosely named after a Rolling Stones song, as both entities are no strangers to controversy. Let's take a look at lyrical — and "beerical," I guess — facets of Brown Shugga'. When the Stones released "Brown Sugar" as the opening track of what this writer deems their best album of all-time, "Sticky Fingers," the subject of interracial relationships was still a rather taboo thought; never mind the song's lyrics about slavery. The peace and love generation embraced the notion of racial equality, but middle America wanted nothing to do with its messages. In 1971, it was at the twilight of the "hippie era" and disco was about to rear its ugly head.

With the birth of 2015, Tampa Bay Brewing Company is now celebrating 20 years in business. This looks to be a banner year for the stalwart Tampa brewpub as 2014 was a banner year. The Ybor-based brewery has broken ground on their new facility in the Oldsmar area and is looking to become a mainstay of Tampa International Airport as the airport expands its vendors. Combine that news with their recent win of a bronze medal for Reef Donkey Pale Ale at the Great American Beer Festival in the coveted pale ale category, and TBBC has much to celebrate.

It's been a long time coming, but plans to open South Florida's only Belgian-style brewery are currently underway in Boca Raton. Barrel of Monks co-founder Keith DeLoach announced this week he hopes to celebrate a grand opening in early 2015 along with partners Bill McFee and Matt Saady. Construction is on at their Boca Raton-based facility, where the trio will be producing some authentic, Old World-style ales using the finest in modern brewing equipment. We first heard about Barrel of Monks during the November 2013 Inaugural South Florida Brewers Guild Festival in Boynton Beach, when DeLoach and his partners first came on the scene. Since that time, the Boca Raton residents have been busy perfecting recipes with brewmaster Kevin Abbott, and sourcing state-of-the-art equipment for a full, commercial production-ready brewery.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff Skinner had two goals and an assist in the Carolina Hurricanes' 4-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
Andrej Sekera and Jiri Tlusty had one goal apiece for the Hurricanes, who snapped a two-game skid. Justin Peters stopped 26-of-27 shots.
"We have a lot of road games coming up here, a big stretch," Peters said. "We have confidence and we want to build that confidence coming on the road knowing that we can play a good road game and get some points."
Mike Green scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who had a two-game winning streak halted.
Braden Holtby turned aside 19-of-23 shots over two periods. Philipp Grubauer made nine saves in the third frame.
Skinner scored the first two goals of the game. At the 10:20 mark of the first period, Skinner lit the lamp from a sharp angle.
The Hurricanes went up 2-0 when Skinner scored from the left circle at 11:18 of the middle stanza.
Sekera made it a three-goal contest on a slap shot from the point at the 14:09 mark. Less than a minute later, Tlusty scored on a backhander.
Green's first goal of the season got the Capitals on the board at the 6:39 mark of the third period. His wrist shot from the high slot got past Peters.
"You know as a smaller subplot it's obviously good for him," Capitals coach Adam Oates said of Green's goal. "It's obviously been something that we've talked about a lot. Now the zero is gone, so hopefully it leads to more."
Sekera returned to the lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury ... Carolina went 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Capitals went 1- for-5 on the man advantage.
Former Duquesne University football player Chris Johnson's death last week was ruled a suicide by the Allegheny County medical examiner's office.
Team Xtreme Racing confirmed on Saturday morning that police have recovered its Sprint Cup Series race car that was stolen from a hotel parking lot in Morrow, Georgia.
The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms with quarterback Josh McCown, the team announced on Friday.
The Toronto Blue Jays signed veteran slugger Dayan Viciedo to a minor league contract on Sunday and will give him a chance to make the team in spring training.
Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers with what the team said is a sprained left elbow.
The Arizona Coyotes finally found a buyer for their largest bargaining chip and top defenseman Keith Yandle: the New York Rangers.

Comic book historian Prof. William H. Foster III is displaying the diversity of African American comic book characters in the lobby display case during February. In the 1930s when comic books first made their appearance, African Americans were more often than not presented as mere comic relief, as savages, or were simply left out entirely. This exhibit showcases six comic book characters from the 1960s to the 1990s: The Black Panther, Storm, Mr. T, Martha Washington, Bishop, and Steel. They represent how much Black characters had changed in that thirty to sixty year period. Today there is a wider diversity of characters present in comic books, including a number created in honor of the first Black President of the United States, Barak Obama.
Matthew James Alexander Simmons will display his magnificent creatures in the lobby during March. Matt began his artistic endeavors at the young age of 5 and loves to draw, paint, sculpt, write, and build puppets. He never received formal training in making puppets, and he uses an assortment of materials. Matt designed his first puppet when he was studying theater at UConn in Storrs. He was assistant stage manager in the puppet play called Balloon and was inspired by the rich variety of puppets in the production. He says his ideas come from all over—pictures, dreams, conversations, and life's situations. He studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, UConn in Storrs, and at MXCC in Middletown.

5 Reasons Jean Claude Van Damme's Mullet is the Greatest Actor in the History of Cinema
Let's just get this straight. Forget his flexibility, Van Damme had THE best mullet ever. His mullet might be the only time a mullet has been successfully pulled off in the history of cinema. Look at Hard Target. Why, if it weren't for Van Damme's mullet the film would have no action appeal whatsoever (just like this clip from the director's cut). It would be the same old boring blah blah whatever movie that would be forgotten minutes after seeing it. It would have been a literal snoozefest. Let's face it, his mullet carried that film.

Boss Hogg Desperately Seeking Sugar Baby
Recently Georgia State University ranked at the top of the list of 20 colleges with the highest number of sugar babies. For those unfamiliar with the practice, a sugar baby is a young person who provides companionship to an older sugar daddy (or mommy) in exchange for money and gifts. The babies and sugar daddies meet on dating sites that cater to gold-diggers and chicks with daddy issues looking for generous, but perverted older men who want young women.
Hazzard County big wig, Boss Hogg, is no exception. Sugar daddies, like Boss Hogg, know college babies have financial needs, including student loans and tuition to pay off. So when all other means of earning income are exhausted, becoming a sugar baby doesn't seem so bad for a 20-year-old girl trying to pay her way through college and have extra money for partying, spray tans and clothes. Sugar babies are desperate and willing to do anything for cash, and the sugar daddies are either married or single and desperate for companionship.

The relative performance of the local density approximation and gradient-corrected density functional theory for computing metal-ligand distances in Werner-Type and organometallic complexes
UNSPECIFIED. (1997) The relative performance of the local density approximation and gradient-corrected density functional theory for computing metal-ligand distances in Werner-Type and organometallic complexes. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, 61 (1). pp. 85-91. ISSN 0020-7608
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Optimized metal-ligand (M-L) bond lengths for 17 classical Werner-type transition-metal complexes were calculated using the local density approximation (LDA) and a gradient-corrected (GC) extension. GCs lengthen the bonds by between 0.02 and 0.09 Angstrom relative to the LDA results. The latter range from 0.02 Angstrom shorter than observed to 0.05 Angstrom longer, while the GC data range from exact agreement with experiment to some 0.12 Angstrom too long. The LDA rms deviation is 0.025 Angstrom, compared to the GC error of 0.070 Angstrom. In contrast, data from the literature for organometallic species show that the LDA gives systematically too short M-L distances and GCs lead to a better agreement with experiment. The relative performance of LDA and GC functionals reflects the qualitatively different chemistries of organometallic and Werner-type complexes. The magnitude of the GC bond-length expansion for the latter correlates with the ionicity of the M-L interaction. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Texas Tech professors Randy Allen, David Nes, and Henry Nguyen explain the work university scientists are doing to unlock the genetic code of plants.Lance Moler/Staff PhotographerTech researchers try to decode plant DNA
By KARA ALTENBAUMER
If this century is one for creating knowledge, the next one will be for applying it, says one Texas Tech scientist.
"If you characterize this century as the information age, the next century will be the age of biology and genetics," said Henry Nguyen, a plant genetics professor. But Nguyen and his fellow researchers have to collect a lot of information - millions of pieces of it - before they can apply it.
Scientists at Tech's new Center for Plant Biochemistry and Genomics are trying to unlock the genetic codes of more than half a dozen plants, from cotton to rice to corn.
The ultimate goal is to produce marketable seeds with improved traits - such as longer cotton fibers or disease-resistant sorghum, said David Ness, a chemistry and biochemistry professor.
"We develop the technology to screen plant genetics that can be used by whatever company wants," Nguyen said.
Developing that technology could take decades. Nguyen said scientists in the United States, Europe and Japan have been working for eight years to determine the nucleotide, or chemical, bases that make up the plant genome and to identify an estimated 30,000 or 40,000 genes that control basic plant growth and development.
They used a weedy plant - as a model - and are only half done. That plant has a relatively small genome with only 145 million nucleotides. Humans, by contrast, have 3 billion nucleotides. Rice has 450 million and cotton more than 2 billion.
Tech scientists hope to build on existing genome knowledge to discover genes in cotton, sorghum, corn and wheat for genetic improvement of these locally important crops, Nguyen said.
Once scientists break down DNA into individual genetic codes, they can isolate traits they want to intensify or lessen. From there, those genes could then be inserted into other plants to give them desirable traits.
This type of knowledge has already been used to create plants that fend off harmful fungi, by genetically engineering them to produce substances that are toxic to the fungi, said Ness.
"The key is that there are things we can do with conventional breeding, but there are limits," said Randy Allen, a biology and plant and soil science professor. "You can't get things from other species. You could imagine being able to custom design plants."
While genetic engineering in plants can already be done in some instances like BT (bacterial toxin) cotton or roundup-resistance cotton, scientists have still got a long way to go before large-scale results.
"We simply require more knowledge before we can start engineering or designing," Nguyen said. "We have to understand what gene might give rice boll weevil resistance before we can engineer it."
Some of Tech's plant genome work includes cotton, wheat, rice, sorghum, corn, tobacco and peanuts. Specific project goals include drought tolerance and water-use efficiency, extreme temperature stress tolerance and natural products biochemistry, insect and disease resistance and cotton fiber quality.
While some may question the value of studying rice in West Texas, Nguyen said rice is easier to sequence than some other crops and that the knowledge gained from it could be applied to corn or sorghum.
"We're not the USDA or Texas Agricultural Experiment Station - we're a university," said Allen. "We have to take a more global view. Rice is the most important crop in the world."
In fact, building these national and international networks with things like rice research will help push Tech toward its goal of being a top research institution, Nguyen said.
The project also teaches people that agriculture and plant science isn't low-tech, Allen said.
"People in big cities don't realize where their food comes from," he said. "They don't realize that modern agricultural research is technologically equal to modern medical research. If you go into a cancer lab, they're doing the same thing."

US 4722515 A Abstract A liquid vaporizing apparatus having a cylindrical heated vaporizing surface against which atomized droplets of liquid are thrown by a spinning disk; the disk receiving a continuous thin film of liquid from a capillary tube spaced from the disk so that a fluid drop fed from the tube end is contacted by the disk to roll the drop while pulling a liquid film from the drop, the liquid being continuously replenished from the tube.
Claims(2) 1. A liquid atomizing device comprising, in combination, a disk having a flat circular face mounted for rotation, means for rotatably driving said disk, a fluid conveying capillary tube mounted for delivering fluid to said face at a low but constant flow rate, a reservoir for supplying fluid to be atomized to said tube, the fluid delivering end of said tube being spaced from said face so that a liquid drop formed at the tube end is just contacted by the face and the face rotation rotates the drop while pulling a thin, uniform, continuous fluid film on the face from the drop, wherein the liquid is a monomeric liquid resin, the disk is formed of glass and has a one-inch diameter, the means for rotatably driving said disk rotates it about its center at a rate within the range of about 3000 to about 5000 revolutions per minute, and the capillary tube is a 20 mil capillary tube and is mounted to deliver fluid to said face at a point radially spaced about 3/8 inch from the center of the disk, whereupon said film is thrown in atomized droplets from the periphery of the disk.
2. A liquid vaporizing apparatus for vacuum vapor deposition of a material from liquid monomer form comprising, in combination, a vaporization chamber having a nozzle opening for discharging vapor, a one-inch diameter, glass disk having a flat circular face mounted for rotation in said chamber, means for rotatably driving said disk about its center at a rate within the range of about 3000 to about 5000 revolutions per minute, a 20 mil, fluid conveying capillary tube mounted in said chamber for delivering fluid to said face at a low but constant flow rate and at a point radially spaced about 3/8 inch from the center of the disk, a reservoir for supplying fluid to be atomized to said tube, the fluid delivering end of said tube being spaced from said face so that a liquid drop formed at the tube end is just contacted by the face and the face rotation rotates the drop while pulling a thin, uniform, continuous fluid film having a thickness of about one micron or less on the face from the drop, a band heater in said chamber defining a heating surface surrounding the periphery of said disk, whereby said film is thrown in atomized droplets from the periphery of said disk and said droplets are flash vaporized on said surface.
Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 668,918 filed Nov. 6, 1984, now abandoned. This invention relates generally to converting liquids into gaseous form and more particularly concerns atomizing liquids for flash vaporization. U.S. application Ser. No. 620,647, filed June 14, 1984, now abandoned, on Miniature Monolithic Multi-Layer Capacitor and Apparatus and Method of Making, discloses methods and apparatus for making miniature electrical capacitors. The process involves vapor deposition in a deep vacuum environment, and one material that is deposited is a resin in monomer form that, when deposited and cured, forms the dielectric layers of a monolithic capacitor structure. The techniques of flash vaporization, i.e., subjecting small particles of liquid to vaporization heat for almost instantaneous vaporization, allows the resin to remain in monomer form through the process of being deposited, and then the capacitor making process cures and cross-links the material. As just suggested, flash vaporization depends on creating very small particles, i.e., atomizing, the liquid material. One way of creating liquid droplets is to feed liquid onto the surface of a rapidly spinning disk. The liquid is broken into droplets and thrown peripherally. A series of liquid drops can be easily generated utilizing a capillary tube and allowing surface tension to control the flow. However, if the droplets generated by the spinning disk are being flash vaporized and the resultant gas vapor deposited to create a thin film, dropping discrete drops onto the disk would create intermittent splashes and resulting pulsations in the gas vapor being formed and deposited, making it very difficult to achieve a uniform vapor flow and a uniform coating. If, instead of discrete drops, a continuous flow is established onto the spinning disk, even if very small diameter capillary tubes constrict the flow, the flow rate can still be expected to be too high to generate vapor for the thin vapor deposited coatings sought. Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a liquid atomizing device that creates a very low but constant liquid flow for being dispersed or atomized in a vaporization apparatus. A related object is to provide a device of the foregoing kind that is suitable for handling liquids of varying viscosity. Another object is to provide a device as characterized above that is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective of an apparatus embodying the present invention; FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary section of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 illustrating the operating phenomenon created; FIG. 3 is a top view, with a portion sectioned, of the structure shown in FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3 but illustrates the droplet dispersion resulting from operation of the apparatus; and FIGS. 5A through D are similar to FIG. 2 but show a different phenomenon resulting from a different structural relationship. While the invention will be described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that I do not intend to limit the invention to that embodiment. On the contrary, I intend to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Turning to the drawing, there is shown an apparatus 10 for vaporizing a liquid, such as a monomeric resin, supplied in a reservoir 11 and depositing by condensation the resulting vapor on a substrate 12 arranged to move past the apparatus 10. It will be understood that both the apparatus 10 and the substrate 11 are maintained in a low vacuum environment. The intent of the vapor deposition is to deposit a uniform, very thin--one micron or less--coating of the liquid material on the substrate 12. A process in which the apparatus 10 can find utility is disclosed in said application Ser. No. 620,647, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The apparatus includes a vaporization chamber 13 formed with a nozzle opening 14 for emitting the vaporized material in close proximity to the substrate 12. The chamber 13 encloses a spinning disk 15 driven by a motor 16 which throws by centrifugal force atomized droplets of fluid against a band heater 17 defining a heating surface 18 surrounding the disk 15. The tiny droplets are flash vaporized upon contact with the heated surface 18, thereby developing both vapor and vapor pressure to expel the gaseous material through the nozzle opening 14 for condensation on the substrate 12. When the fluid is a monomeric liquid, the flash vaporization preserves the chemical structure, and the condensed monomer film on the substrate can be later cured, if desired, by any suitable technique such as applying ultraviolet or electron beam radiation. In accordance with the invention, the atomizing device includes, in addition to the driven disk 15, a capillary tube 20 mounted on the reservoir 11 for delivering fluid at right angles to the flat circular face 21 of the disk 15, and the end of the tube 20 is spaced from the face 21 so that a liquid drop formed at the tube end is just contacted by the face. With the proper spacing, disk face speed and drop size, the face rotates the drop as shown in FIG. 2 while pulling a fluid film on the face 21 free from the drop, which fluid film is continuously replenished from the tube 20, and the film is thrown centrifugally in atomized droplets from the periphery of the disk onto the heated vaporizing surface 18. The droplets will be thrown from the disk surface 21 along the path lines 22 illustrated in FIG. 4. The desired phenomenon can best be understood by considering other effects which result from different arrangements. If the end of the capillary tube 20 is spaced well clear of the disk surface 21, drops will be formed that periodically release and fall onto the disk. The resulting vaporization would thus also be in periodic bursts, and there would not be uniform vapor delivery from the apparatus 10. Condensation and the resulting coating on the substrate 12 would therefore not be uniform. If the drop at the end of the capillary tube 20 is brought into contact with a stationary surface, or a surface having no uniform direction such as the center of the spinning circular disk 15, the phenomenon illustrated in FIG. 5 occurs. Here, it is assumed that the capillary tube 20 is positioned over the center of the circular surface 21. The initial drop contacts the surface 21 and, as soon as the surface is wetted, the fluid flow is continuous from the tube 20 until the reservoir 11 is emptied or the fluid supply is otherwise cut off. Assuming that the liquid is being delivered to the center of a spinning disk, liquid will be delivered from the disk periphery but in uneven splashes and at a rate in excess of that desired for condensating a thin film. However, if the tube 20 is initially positioned near the center of the spinning disk 15 and then moved peripherally outward so as to gradually increase the speed of the surface contacting the drop, the condition described above and illustrated in FIG. 2 will be reached. Representative relationships found suitable for a monomeric liquid resin included a 20 mil capillary tube feeding liquid to a disk 1" in diameter driven in the 3,000 to 5,000 rpm range. The formed drop, depending upon the liquid's viscosity and surface tension, contacted the disk with the tube and spaced about 37 mils from the disk. The disk was formed of clean glass. The drop rolling and film forming phenomenon was achieved with the spacing 23 (see FIG. 3) of the drop from the disk center being about 3/8". Droplets produced and discharged along the paths 22 were estimated as being 5 mils in diameter. While the disk surface 21 has been illustrated as horizontal with the tube at a vertical right angle, the surface 21 can be disposed vertically and the tube horizontal so long as the tube is positioned so that the drop contacts the upwardly driven half of the disk surface. So disposed, the viscosity pull of the disk on the liquid counteracts the gravity pull. The arrangement described produces a very low rate of droplet formation well suited for subsequent flash vaporization and deposition of a very thin coating layer. The vapor delivery rate can be increased, if desired, by pressurizing the reservoir 11. Liquids of varying viscosity would produce initial droplets of varying size depending upon the size of the capillary tube, but the disk and tube relative spacing could obviously be readily varied to accommodate varying drop sizes. It can also be readily appreciated that the components making up the apparatus 10 are relatively simple and straightforward so that the apparatus is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain.

Screenshot brokenMan, there has been a lot of broken screenshots lately. CDN not holding up? I used to have a sig...until one of the mods ate it Fixed, File CollisionsIt's fixed. There were some file collisions when I transferred from one CDN to the other via my Windows machine. Some apps had mixed case and lowercase versions of the names of the files (lowercase being the older ones). So, the mixed case ones were renamed with a -1 suffix on Windows in between. All those are the ones that the screenshots were missing. I went through and all of them should be fixed now. Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! |

Power design toolbox delivers board energy savings
June 27, 2012 // Paul Buckley
Ericsson has introduced the world's first 'toolbox' that enables systems architects to optimize power profiles and energy configuration prior to implementation in end equipment.
The 3E Design Toolbox includes a set of five modules that can be operated as stand-alone devices or interconnected to mirror complex applications requiring multiple power rails with specific configuration profiles such as sequencing, tracking, and load sharing and distribution. The toolbox also includes the Ericsson 3E software, which, via the USB/PMBus interface, can monitor, configure and control any Ericsson 3E or PMBus-compliant unit connected to the boards.
The Ericsson 3E Design Toolbox includes the ROA1285151 (PIM Module) which hosts a combined socket that is compatible with the industry-standard 400W PIM4300 series of power interface modules and the recently launched 800W PIM4800 series, including PMBus interface, hold-up capacitors and all the required circuitry to mirror the input stage that is commonly used in ICT (Information and Communications Technology) applications.
The ROA1283835 (ABC Module) has room for two Advanced Bus Converters (ABCs) from the FRIDA I series - the quarter-brick BMR453 and eighth-brick BMR454 - and the FRIDA II series' quarter-brick BMR456 and shortly available eighth-brick BMR457.
The ROA1283836 (3E POL PI Module) is equipped with six connectors making it able to host hole-through 3E Point-Of-Load (POL) converters. Two sockets are dedicated to the 40 A BMR464; four can host the 20 A BMR463; and additionally, two out the four can be used for the 12 A BMR462. For simple systems, each 3E POL can be tested independently from the others or, for more advanced power configuration, combined in different ways such as paralleling.
The ROA1285068 (3E POL SIP Module) offers the same possibilities as those offered by the previous board, the ROA1283836, but it is dedicated to the single-in-line version of the 3E POL, which is commonly used in high-density space-critical boards.
The toolbox also contains the ROA1285077 (3E POL Paralleling Module) is dedicated for high-power applications that require high current up to 280A. In addition it offers the flexibility to optimize energy consumption by turning off part of the set of 3E POLs under low-load conditions; and also, when the load demands maximum power, the ability to quickly switch on up to seven 3E POL BMR464s in parallel. The layout of the ROA1285077 module has also been optimized to reproduce end-user applications, simplifying the optimization of the configuration scheme when it is implemented into an end application.
Each module is furnished with high- and low-signal connectors, local filtering, and low-impedance sockets to host 3E Point-of-Load converters, Advanced Bus Converters and power interface modules. Comprehensive documentation includes user guide, application notes, design notes and various technical papers that can assist systems board designers to optimize the power configuration to reduce energy consumption. The Ericsson 3E Design Toolbox also includes the 3E Software and additional accessories such as the KEP91017 USB-to-PMBus adaptor.
Each board can be purchased separately as a stand-alone product. The 3E design boards are also available to power systems architects for free hire across the duration of their design period, via the Ericsson (Power Modules) 3E Design Registration process.
