UOCartographer (aka UOC) is a free replacement for UOAutomap. It's features include support for the new lands of Ter Mur and compatibilty with the Enhanced Client (EC). You can get the latest/current version from the following URL: http://uocartographer.com/Beta/UOCSetup.exe You will need the .NET 2.0 SP1 framework to use it, but most people should have it already. Otherwise you can get it from the Microsoft website. < legalese > Disclaimer: While this program is currently not officially or publically endorsed or approved by EA/Mythic, you are free to use it without repercussion. If you have any problems, do not contact EA/Mythic about it, they DO NOT provide support for this or any other 3rd party program. Representitives of EA/Mythic have directly told me that you will not be banned for using this and that I am free to distribute it. It does not sniff packets, read the clients memory or interfere in any way with the client. < /legalese > After installing it, when you run it for the first time it will build the maps. This may take a few minutes. If this fails for some reason, right click on the map window and choose Options and make sure the paths to the client and the client selection are correct. You may need to restart it if you do this. After the maps have been built you should be good to go. In 2D/Classic you must be running UOAssist for it to track you. In the EC you will need to copy MapWindow.lua from the installation directory to your <EC path>/User Interface/<skin name>/Source/ directory. There are more details in the ReadMe.txt file. There is a seperate server program so you can get everyone together. To use this have someone run the server, pick a port from the options window (address does nothing) and make sure they open it on their router/firewall (UDP port 11000 is the default, or should be). You can choose to use a global password like UOAM or per user accounts. Global password is probably the easiest for now. Your friends can now connect by going to the options window and entering the IP and port of the server, choosing a username and entering the password. Checking "Show Status" will add a little red/green indicator to the UI so you can see if you are connected or not. Then pick "Connect" from the right-click menu to connect. UOC can use the UOAM ".map" marker files and several are included. You can scroll the map by left clicking and dragging. You can also "flick" the map in the same manner to scroll quickly. Double clicking will toggle borderless mode and the mousewheel will zoom in and out. Phew! This is pretty long already. Feel free to try it out and let me know in this thread if you have any problems or questions. I'm not here 24/7 but I'll try and respond as soon as I can Quick Guide To Common Problems. Installer Fails: Run the installer as admin if you are on Vista/7. Redownload the installer and save it to a file and go from there.Should be fixed in 0.9.6.3 Black Window: Double and Triple check your client paths. Make sure you are setting the right one for your client and that it actually exists in windows explorer. 2d: Check it against the path in UOAssist and/or UOAM. Doesn't Track: 2d: try running UOC as admin. It may have trouble talking to UOAssist on Vista/7 if the two programs are running at different user levels. EC: check the EC Beta subforum, there are mods and skins becoming available that make EC work seamlessly with UOC! Server Does Nothing: Make sure you set a port number (11000 for instance), it may not be set. Make sure you use the "exit" button to quit it, closing the window minimizes it to the clock area. It doesn't really "do" anything when running, you'll see stuff in the log window when people join/leave though. Window Goes Off Screen: Maximize it from the task bar then exit. This will make it show up in the maximized size the next time it starts and you can move/resize it then. This is a known bug. Should be fixed in 0.9.6.3 Updates 0.9.6.3 Nov 25: + Fix for installer on Vista/Win7, runs as admin by default + Fix for rectangular windows showing edges + Fix for window going off screen and saving that position + Fix for obscure invalid facet bug (needs more testing) + Fix for personal .map files crashing, maybe (needs more testing) + Can now edit and delete markers from within UOC + Adjustments to client/server protocol. New clients will work with older servers. New server will *NOT* work with older clients 0.9.6.4 Nov 27: + Fix crash when adding/removing markers 0.9.6.5 Dec 2: + Added "Disconnect", menu item, will switch depending on context + Disconnect on quitting UOC client + Fixed misspelt directory ( ), may pause a bit first time you run it while it copies everything. Pray it works on Vista/Win7 + Log server info for client, in My Docs../UOCar../serverlog.txt + Updated server: tries to prevent multiple same users at once, sends version info, logs logoffs * client is backwards compatible with older servers, server is NOT backwards compatible, as before. do not update server unless all clients are on 0.9.6.3 or later 0.9.6.6 Dec 5: +Minor update for icons to make it easier to add custom ones. See this post: http://vboards.stratics.com/showpost.php?p=1522101&postcount=372 0.9.6.7 Dec 11: + Adds a filter sub-menu so you can filter out specific map files (saves it too!) + Removes duplicate map markers at run-time (somewhat indiscriminately) + Fix for uncommon "WSACancelBlockingCall" bug + Something else which I have since forgotten.... - Removed map (marker) files from the installer. 0.9.6.8 Dec 12: + Fix several bugs introduced with the new filtering system. 0.9.8.0 Dec 17: + Fix lat/long coors in Fel/Tram. + Find window extended to 3 tabs - "People & Places", "Lat & Long" and "X & Y". All work the same way and center the map on the chosen location (on the current facet). You can also tick the "Track?" button to get a destination pointer on the map that you can follow. (Use Clear Destination to get rid of it). + Installer will not overwrite icons.bmp or icons.txt if they exist. 0.9.8.1 Dec 22: + Minor performance improvement when connected to a server.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! it keeps changing the land to trammel when im in malas.. if you change it back to malas it shows the correct location but when i walk it goes back to tramel
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! Are you using UOAssist? It should track you just fine. This has happened in the past though, but I thought I'd fixed it
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! Woot! I'd been waiting for this, thanks kiwi for not abandoning this and for continually following up with mythic. Gonna dl it when I get back.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! Error opening file for writing is all i get when i try to install
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! Thanks Harlequin Took me a few months of slowly talking to Mythic and a week or so talking to the admins here, but it's all pretty good now
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! aaaarrrggghhhh! You running vista or win7 by any chance? I though I'd fixed all that too! Damn, MS Windows and all it's problems
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! hehe It *should* just work. Otherwise try running the installer as admin. You may not get a desktop shortcut in that case though, but you can pull it off the start menu.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Damn.... I keep forgetting bout that "run as admin" option on Vista! Works now hehe tyvm matey! Woohoo i can see all the shops and stuff again!
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Now for a pain in the butt question, is there a way to put a dot where your toon actually is on the map? like the lil flashing thingy bob on normal map!
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Um, there should be already? A little green circle with a blinky dot in the middle...
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) If you pick options and type a name in, does it show then? Also, you can make it borderless and stuff y'know hehe I'll throw up a new version in a sec, if it is the username thing.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) You may be waiting a while 0.9.6.1 up, sets a default name - hopefully fixes the missing marker thing. Maybe. =/
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Ok, i entered a username and it did nothin, so i restarted uoc and the dot popped up! Happy days
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Hooray! Man, I just know there are going to be sooooo many issues like this. Oh well
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) If you used uoam you'll find this alot better, it doesnt even lag me up the way uoam used to
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Kiwillian, can you have one of said EA Mythic people contact Stratics and tell Petra directly that it's ok - otherwise this thread is likely to go away...
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! Right click on uoc icon and run as administrator then it works fine I take my hate off to you ,,this is AMAZING, just to make me feel better i wish to have it offically endorsed, but well done to you just one thing, does it have a house logger like automap used to have?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! If you run the map as admin it may have problems talking to UOAssist though, so it would be better to install it properly and then try it. I hate Vista/UAC
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Wow... okay, first, let me give you some major props on this... this is VERY nice!!! I love the smooth scrolling you can do just by dragging, I love that my mouse's scroll-bar is recognized and zooms... just those two things alone make me smile a lot!!! Couple of small questions... 1) Is there a way to stop or toggle the sliding that happens if you click, hold, drag, and release like you're tossing it across the screen? 2) Is there any way to get a larger/full-screen display? Not picking... completely understand it's in beta... just making a couple of suggestions. I LOVE what I see so far!!! GREAT work!!!
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Thanks! 1) Yes. Just left click again and it should stop. 2) Right click -> atlas. Or just put borders on and resize it It won't go full screen though. Too much effort, CPU wise for that.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) One more small request... I see you can filter the town markers, but is there any way we could get a toggle for all icons? Sometimes I like to run with them, sometimes without. (Yes, this the "fun" part... people loving what you've done and then begging for more features... hehe But honestly, again, thanks so much for putting this together!!!)
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) It is certainly possible and I know what you mean in your last lil bit there lol. I just don't want to over-crowd the menu. I'll add it to the list though edit: in the mean time you can just move the *.map files out and restart it.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Maybe like you did with "Facet..." with the selection for each of the facets, do a similar "Markers..." (rather than "Filter Town Markers") and then "Filter All Markers", "Filter Town Markers", "Filter (other) Markers" (not sure what Other might be... Wilderness?) on a flyout, that way you keep the menu uncluttered. I completely get what you mean there, and appreciate that you've made this very easy to navigate. The more I'm playing with it, the more I love it!!!
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Yup, sub-menus would be the way to do it. I'll keep it in mind, it's a good suggestion. Thanks. Glad you are liking it.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) I am glad to see someone revamping this! Being able to drag the map is literally one of the best improvements. The maximum size I can get the map is only 1/4 the size of my 22" widescreen monitor. It maxes out as a square. I run the old Automap full height of my monitor and wide enough to fill in the side of what UO doesnt in window mode. I am very limited in my resizing options with this new map. I am not sure what you mean by "Too much effort, CPU wise for that." It would be nice to be able to resize this map to any size rectangle or square. Is there a way to change icons in custom maps? The old treasure maps show up as piles of gold for example. [FONT=Garamond ! important] [/FONT]
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) I like it very much. Feed-back: 1. Installed it under Vista as admin, and it worked immediately. 2. Then I copied all my UOAM map-files over to the UOC directory, restarted UOC and it wouldn't start; got several error mesages e.g. out-of-range type msgs. Removed my Personal.Map from the UOC directory, restarted UOC and it worked again. 3.The I added a marker, did it on the wrong place and wanted to remove it with notepad, but I couldn't find the User.Map in my UOC directory. Finally found the User.Map file in C:\Users\...\MyDocuments. Thank you very much for all the effort you put in this program.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Val: I'll look into the max window size. I just don't want people making it 1280x1024 and then complaining it makes their PC slow - lol. The icons are in a file in the installation directory. I dunno why T-Maps would be piles of gold though, but you could do a find & replace on the .map file to something else for now.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Rudolph: What files caused the out of range message? Can you send them to me somehow? And, yes all the run time info is in My Documents. Blame Vista! lol
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Kiwillian, can I ask if you have been talking to EA/Mythic about adding a feature that would enable cut and paste support for the following: 1. Sextant coordinates contained in MIB's - what I'd personally like to see is EA/Mythic add drag and copy support in both clients over the text containing the sextant coordinates. That or a button which would copy the sextant coordinates onto the PC's clipboard for the user so they could be sent to another program, like your UOC. I'd like this feature so I don't have to make mistakes entering the coordinates in the map program. 2. Treasure map coordinates for all levels of treasure maps. Currently, if you use the EC you can straight away see where the map location is. The Classic client, however, lacks this ability, and I for one don't want to see people have to download the EC just to read the treasure maps properly. It would be nice, when a map is deciphered, that UOC could 'read' the pin for treasure maps and add it as a marker to the map it draws. Perhaps treasure maps could be improved so that they would help new players locate where the pin is on the map. This could easily be done in a manner very similiar to how an ornithologist's brush helps locate a turkey nest, probably with existing tools like shovels or pickaxes. Obviously, both these enhancement requests would require that UOC either read the data stream from the client in some way, or negotiate requests for this data with the client program. Can you work with EA/Mythic to create a solution to both types of coordinates?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Sweet thanks Kiwillian I'll try it out soon Very nice have it working on Vista and XP ... now to find out how to use the server hmm sweet got server too very nice man
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) verry nice work installed using vista it seems to have a problem converting fel and tram maps but the outhers convert fine but i cannot get it to track me and also if i change it to the facet im in and click center on player it showes me in the thron room in tram brit castle. am i mabey not doing something right? also when i copeyed the lua file in the source folder then defalt folder was a winzip?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Awsome man. Very nice work Kiwillian. My hats off to you sir. What a great replacement for UOAM. *runs off to log back in* *Doh! .... runs out to kitchen to refill coffee first!*
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) great tool! I suggest to auto-open the option menu if it cannot find the map files, because if you touch something like atlas without maps the application will crash Oh and it seems to do not recognize very well the difference between trammel and felucca... I set manually the map on ter mur, then I have logged in on felucca and the map is gone on trammel...
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) update seems like the map its self is working but for some odd reason its not tracking my location its always showing me in britt castle in the throne room when i click center on player
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Excellent work Sir! Installed with no problem, up and running in minutes. I'm going to try the server out on my home computer tonight. No way to run it from our website as it's not Windows based.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) another suggestions: - should be usefull a disconnect button - hide a player while not logged on - a chat window like automap - hide icons if the zoom is bigger than Nx
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Okay installed it and with UOA it tracks me great, Fantastic! Thanks.
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Is there a way to add t map's coors, like on UOAM? Or we going to have to do that by hand for each location?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) went to place a marker on my wife's place and it place the house to the left of the screen and i want to remove it. How do I edit markers I place?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) You have to do that manually. Open the file User.Map with wordpad as described in the readme file: Markers. -------- UOC can load and display UOAM .MAP format files. Simply copy the ones you like to use into the UOC directory and they will automatically appear the next time you start UOC. You can mouse over markers to show a pop-up description. Markers can be added via the menu. The marker will be added at the point you right clicked to get the menu. Markers added will be placed in a file called USER.MAP in the UOC directory in UOAM format. This file can be edited, copied and renamed if you like to organise things. Marker data files must end in .MAP to be loaded (case insensitive). Currently, to delete a marker you must edit the .MAP file with notepad and remove the line that contains the marker you wish to delete. Don't leave any blank lines in the file when doing this!
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM) Any chance you're going to show houses on the map?

Frank Reagan, widower and Police Commissioner and his father Hank, ready themselves for his son Jamie's graduation from the Police Academy. As Frank addresses the hundreds of new officers convened in Madison Square Garden we see an overview of New York City at its finest. Meanwhile, elsewhere in NYC, a 9 year old girl, on her walk home from school is abducted and driven off in an unmarked white van. Danny Reagan who is a police detective is on the case. He and his partner track down the kidnapper at a seedy hotel and the girl is not there. Knowing he is the kidnapper, Danny beats a confession out of him and locates the girl in a storage unit, where she was being kept. Due to his untraditional tactics the evidence Danny procured from the suspect is not admissible in court. Erin Reagan -Boyle, Danny and Jamie's sister and Assistant D.A. needs to find another way to prosecute him. They do so by finding cold cases of the same nature in Tampa where the kidnapper lived prior, and are able to trace him to a murder and prosecute him for this crime. Jamie is approached by the FBI regarding his potential assistance in investigating the Blue Templar, a secret organization within the police force. When he discovers that Joe, his brother a police officer that was killed in the line of duty, was involved with the secret FBI investigation, he contemplates how this association relates to his family and his brother's murder.

Working with tracklogs
A GPS tracklog can serve as proof of reaching coordinates, or just make an interesting addition to an expedition page. If your GPS receiver has a USB port or a mini-USB port, or can interface with a device that does, you can probably record, save and upload tracklogs. If you don't know how to do that, perhaps this page can help. If you do know how, please help enhance this page for others.
Contents |
[edit] Track recording
Track recording, or tracking, is a function that allows your GPS receiver not only to display where you are now, and where you're going, but to keep track of where you have been. In order to have a tracklog you need to have this function, and have it turned on. Look through your menus or manual for tracks, track recording, track plot or something similar. If your screen displays a trail showing where you have been, then you definitely have this feature. Your GPS may already have location tracking turned on by default, even if you don't see a track displayed on the device. You probably have unknowingly recorded every move you have made with the GPS turned on since you bought it! It's analogous to Hansel and Gretel in the forest, dropping breadcrumbs, except it's not affected by birds.
[edit] Settings
Obviously you want the track log turned on, and there may be other settings too. These explanations for settings you may have. The defaults are probably fine.
Wrap when full continuously erases the oldest tracks and replaces them with the newest. This setting ensures that your GPS won't stop recording because the memory became full. There's not much reason not to use it. If you want to save your oldest tracks, copy them to your computer.
Record method selects how often the GPS saves a point on your path. You may be able to tell it to drop a breadcrumb based on the passage of time, or on distance covered. In Auto mode, if available, points will be recorded just as often as is necessary to give a good representation of your motion - more points in curves and when your speed changes often, fewer while moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Interval determines the time or distance interval between breadcrumbs. If your tracklog doesn't show as many little twists and turns of your trip as you'd like to, adjust it to record more often, or to a fine track. If your memory fills up before you have a chance to download the data, adjust it to record less often or a coarse track.
[edit] Saving
Once you have moved somewhere while the GPS is turned on and track recording is turned on, you have the opportunity to Save that track. A Garmin etrex gives the choice of saving the entire track or specifying the endpoints of the saved track. The latter is quite fiddly. If you turned your GPS on at the beginning of the part you wanted to save and off at the end, it will be much easier to save the entire tracklog and then delete everything you don't want after uploading.
Once that you're sure that your GPS has recorded and saved the track, it's time to get it out of the GPS.
[edit] Transferring a tracklog
If your GPS receiver came with software, now's the time to get out the CD ROM and install it. If you didn't get one or lost it, try the manufacturer's website. You probably need to have software installed before connecting your GPS receiver to your computer.
[edit] Connecting your GPS receiver to a computer
Your GPS receiver probably has a way to connect to a computer. You could have a mini-USB port hidden under a flap as pictured. If the GPS didn't come with a cable that connects to it, you may have a camera or other device that uses the same cable. They're also cheap to buy. If your GPS receiver is part of a computing device, like an iPhone then you don't need to connect it. Skip down to your software, if someone has made that section yet.
[edit] Map Source
The Garmin product is called Map Source. Once it is installed, start the program and connect your GPS. From the Transfer menu select Receive from device. It should find your GPS. Select the check boxes to receive Waypoints and Tracks (but not Maps and Routes). Then click Receive. You'll soon have the left hand pane of the program filled with log files, representing every time you've turned the GPS on and off.
First, use Ctrl-S to save the entire thing together. The default .gdb file works fine. Then save it a second time under a new name, the name of the expedition you want a tracklog of. Now delete everything that isn't the expedition you want. Each log line is tagged with the date, so it's very easy to identify what you don't want. Just highlight and delete everything with a date other than your expedition. If you're using UTC times be careful not to be confused by the UTC date starting/ending at a different time than your local date. Do the same with waypoints not relevant to your expedition. When you've trimmed everything you don't want, save it again. You should now see your route displayed on a crude map in the right-side pane. You're now ready to upload it.
[edit] Other software
If you're running some freakish unsupported operating system you probably already know where to go to look for for open source software to help you with this step, and very likely don't need a wiki help page on manipulating data.
[edit] No special software at all
Some of the more modern Garmins and other GPSs support "storage mode" and the GPX file format, so you don't need any specialized software on your computer. Just plug the GPS into your computer, and it will appear to be a USB drive. Look through the files on the drive to find the ones with the "gpx" extension, those are your trip logs. Edit them with (worse case) a text editor, or (best case) a specialized XML file editor.
[edit] Uploading tracks
There are multiple ways to upload your data and display it on a map to show your route. Add any you know.
[edit] Everytrail.com
http://www.everytrail.com - reads most file formats (gpx, kml, ...?), displays an interactive map and track statistics. You can add travel reports, geotagged photos and the like.
[edit] GPS Visualizer
Open the GPS Visualizer site in your web browser. Browse to your file, accept the default Google Maps format (you can change your mind later). Upload.
[edit] Wikiloc.com
http://www.wikiloc.com/ - If you walked, cycled, canoed, sailed, or flew, wikiloc is a good place to share GPS tracks. It reads most file formats (gpx, kml, gdb and many more) and displays a map with track statistics and altitude and it integrates well with Google Earth. You can add your own text and photos.
[edit] Strava
http://www.strava.com/ - If you care about how fast you got there, and want to compete in a spiral of painful exercise with friends - or complete strangers - Strava is ideal. It reads most file formats and displays a map with track statistics and altitude, as well as showing power exertion and the like.
[edit] Hosting
The wiki does not currently accept KML files, so unless you save your map as a JPG or PNG you will need somewhere to host the file in order to link it from the wiki. Suggestions here ...
Mediafire, unless the file is over 100 MB. (This editor has no GPS system at all, so he can't say for sure how big the file will be.)
[edit] RTFM
Also check your user's manual. Many manufacturers make user manuals available on the Internet.
[edit] Difficulties or Questions?
If your GPS receiver or software isn't listed here, please ask about it on the talk page. If you know something about tracklogs that isn't listed here, please add it in.

Carrie Bradshaw would probably have had Samantha Jones on the phone quick about this. Actress and celebrity mom Sarah Jessica Parker (who is one of the few Hollywood celebrities who has said no thank you to a Botox needle), is yet another victim of over-zealous airbrushing on the cover of Harper's BAZAAR China. Remember what they did to Victoria Beckham?
Sarah Jessica is not only a style icon for many of us, but also a gorgeous woman (both inside and out), who definitely doesn't need this kind of airbrushing. On the bright side, I love the dress.

Yellen: US economy still needs help from Fed
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON (AP) a¿¿ The U.S. economy still isn't healthy enough to grow at a consistently strong pace without the Federal Reserve's help.
That was the message Fed Chair Janet Yellen sent Wednesday at a news conference after the central bank ended a two-day policy meeting.
Yellen made clear that despite a steadily improving job market and signs of creeping inflation, the Fed sees no need to raise short-term interest rates from record lows anytime soon.
Her remarks followed a statement from the Fed that it would further slow the pace of its long-term bond purchases. The bond purchases have been intended to keep long-term loan rates low. But the Fed offered no clear signal about when it will start raising its benchmark short-term rate. Stock investors appeared pleased with the message that rates would remain low. Major indexes surged more than half a percentage point, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index reaching a record. And the yield on the 10-year Treasury note dipped to 2.59 percent from 2.65 percent late Tuesday. "The last thing that Janet Yellen wants is for the market to think she's anywhere close to tightening," said David Robin, managing director at the brokerage Newedge. "She nailed it." Most economists think a rate increase is at least a year away despite signs of rising inflation. At her news conference, Yellen downplayed inflation concerns. Recent inflation figures are "noisy," she said. Her comment signaled that the Fed doesn't see high inflation as a risk that it would soon need to combat by raising interest rates. David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, said the Fed and Yellen made plain that the central bank intends to keep rates low for a considerable time. "The Fed is saying the economy still needs help and that inflation is not a threat at the moment," Jones said. "Yellen is a lot more worried at the moment about how the job market is behaving than how inflation is behaving."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

canyonmom27 Review
I waited several months to write this review as I wanted to see how the sheets held up after multiple washings. These sheets are amazing. They are super thick and incredibly comfortable. Since purchasing, we no longer use any of our other sheets as they feel so uncomfortable compared to these ones. We use our new ones, wash them and put them right back on the bed. Highly recommended.

Hello All
I have some new toys to show you. These are custom made thermocouples that I have been using on my woodburners. Type K max temp 2100F made from Inconel with compression coupling for air tight seal. I use two of these on my F-150 now and I am getting ready to install a third one. In the pics. there are two 17" probes two 10" and one 3" I also have access to a full line of digital display readers to go with the probes. I personally am very good at breaking all things and I haven't broken one of these probes yet (believe me I tried) good solid unit. Regards Sean
Wow! Very cool. This could add some much needed remote instrumentation. What's the cost on these and where do we get them?
Hi Chris,
I have a local company here that makes them. They are top quality at a reasonable price all the probes in the pics. are type K and go for $94.77 a piece doesn't matter how long you need the price is about the same. I can get you anything you can dream up. One day I plan to send a probe straight down the hopper to the grate and measure the temps this will not be cheap but I will be wealthy in knowledge. Since these are not sitting on a shelf and made to order please allow up to 2 months to be complete. Good things always take awhile. These probes have been a huge help in understanding gasification and have saved me a lot of heartache. Regards Sean
Any chance you have a PDF Spec sheet for those? They look like they would integrate well with my PLC control system, I would like to see any info you have on them!
Hi Henry,
Very cool a PLC would be great!! Unfortunately
I do not have a spec sheet on them at this time :( I will call the company and get one from them to post here.
Is there anything specific you would like to know ? I can make sure it's on the sheet. Regards Sean
Strike That
I just talked to them they don't have spec sheets because all there work is custom made.
What kind or brand of plc are you running? I can tell you these probes are type K with a millivolt A/C Signal
And your PLC Seimens, Allen Bradley ect. should have a card that adapts to read these probes.
I hope this helps let me know Regards Sean
GE Fanuc PLC's, I dislike Siemens anything (overpriced and unreliable) and Allen Bradly rapes you on hardware and then twice more for the programming software - GE PLC's are available on eBay all day long and I have Proficy already.
I am not yet sure If I will be using thermocouple input cards or analog input cards. If I find sensors/transducers with a 0-10V output or straight up variable resistance I will use the analog cards, else I'll have to source a thermocouple input card.
I like the analog because I have a couple of 16 channel analog cards which will accept 0-10VDC or 4-20ma current. I am also looking for some vacuum transducers (saw some somewhere, cannot remember where) and an airflow sensor (thinking about using older modified automotive analog MAF sensors).
I want to know the temp, vacuum, and airflow at all of the various stages of the unit, so that the PLC can alert me when there are "abnormal" conditions present in the system.
I'm also liking water level sensors (still thinking on a tar level sensor - little more difficult) and some automated drain valves for Michigan's cold winters (trying to prevent freezing and of course, kneeling or lying down in slop).
I definitely have a lot of work to do!
Hi Henry,
You certainly have your work cut out for you !!!! It will be awesome to bring all of these sensors into one main computer and have it report back to you the conditions of a gasification system. This is one of the side projects I have been working on I will help in any way I can. This t-probe company makes a lot of gizmos I just used the millivolt because I all ready had the controllers to go with them. I was thinking about using automotive map sensors for vacuum. And your idea on using a MAF to monitor airflow is great I see no reason that would not work. Keep at it Regards Sean
Hey HenryA.
Thanks for the experienced heads up on the PLC brand world.
Auto MAF's be fine for the primary air flow.
Produced wood gas flow however . . . . anytime it is intruded, diverted or cooled at all it want's to drop out slightly acid condensate and CO to CO2 revert dropping out a carbon soot particle. Whether you go with hotwire, sonic (Karmen Vortex) or VAF (flapper door) these contaminants are going to corrode and weight/coat deposit and throw off your calibrations.
Any body close you could work with a running woodgas system to see all of this?
Steve Unruh
This is good information!
Terry Grzyb is the only woodgas driver I know of that is "close", I think he's over west (ish) of Detroit, but otherwise nobody I know of nearby. I "Hope" to have my truck together by end of summer (if the remaining build videos go online in time). I have the truck (Chevy 2500 with a 7.4L 454) & plasma cutter (Lotos LTP5000D) purchased and am still researching welders (I believe I am going with the Millermatic 180) then it's full on construction until I'm done (I have the summer off). I intend to duplicate Wayne's system and after some operating experience slowly integrate advanced monitoring and automation (learn to walk, then attempt to jog).
It is possible, that if I am accurately metering incoming cold air (Flow, temp & density), + I know the internal temp of the unit, + the vacuum being pulled by the engine I can compute the amount of gas being produced, otherwise I may not be able to monitor produced gas flow. Might need a special sensor for these (or a REALLY cheap & readily available 'er replaceable) unit with a housing that allows for easily maintenance or replacement. Monitoring produced gas flow may well be more headache than it is worth but I plan to attempt it at least even if it is abandoned later on as fruitless (love a challenge).
I will have to research the industrial world for corrosion resistant or self-cleaning (wouldn't that be great) air/gas flow sensors. So far I have found a vacuum transducer that should work (ordered one today for bench testing). Sean is on to something with those thermocouples if we can interface them with the PLC (which I need to research further). And I have yet to research water level sensors for the condensate tanks.
Hi Henry,
On the water level sensors how about a simple float switch ??
These are used on boat bilge pumps all kinds of nasty things are in a boats bilge.
If that switch can live in that environment a woodgas condensate tank should be no problem.
This switch will give you a normally open/ normally closed reading.
If you are thinking about a level indicator how about a gas tank sending unit
you would clearly see 1/4 1/2 3/4 to full. wouldn't that be sweet.
Just some thoughts Regards Sean
I like the gas tank sending unit... They are basically a float driven potentiometer.
A few concerns though; Unlike gasoline the wood gas water will likely be corrosive, not sure how long it would last. Of more concern, most (that I have seen - GM's) are completely uninsulated as gasoline is not a conductor of electricity. The condensate mixture may have some electrical conductivity (affecting the reading). Any chance you could test some next time you drain your system? If it's not conductive we have a winner.
Also considering RV tank sensors,... the blackwater level sender should be able to withstand just about anything short of pure acid I would think? I even considered using an RV blackwater tank but they are all plastic nowadays, and I don't know that it would hold up well... might even melt if the gas was warm enough but the sender could be useful in our condensate tanks.
Hi Henry,
Yes your on the right path. We had some weird things happen to our first wood truck but it was an all around
junker so we already tested the condensate it is mildly acid with no conductivity. I would recommend finding
a sending that is insulated or protected from corrosion. The rv sending unit in black water might be the way to go
magnetic hall sensor comes to mind. I toyed around with the plastic condensate idea for awhile haven't done it yet. Would have to be high temp A.B.S. plastic I don't think a rv tank would be beefy enough by itself. I don't see it melting unless something is wrong with the system but vacuum combined with mild heat could = crushed tank.
Regards Sean
allelectronics has sealed float switches i used 3 of them on a fuel tank at the lab 1 lite= refuel 2 lites half full 3 lites full mine also fed the pc that did the actual fueling
I think I'm liking this for liquid level measurement;
These could be used to drive analog gauges (old school) an can be wired to provide an analog input to a PLC or other micro controller. I may request a quote (they don't provide prices, that's usually a bad sign) but if need be this is a fairly simple DIY build (compared to the actual gasifier!). Build it with stainless tubing and it should stand up to corrosion just fine.
Hi Henry,
That's exactly what I had in mind when I said magnetic pickup sensor Awesome find
A little help if possible we have a good thread going on instruments. I am going to ask if anyone here has access to a gas analyzer for measuring a wide variety of gases? Hmmm flamable and non flamable Regards Sean
Hi SeahF
There is much used automotive equipment out there for cheap and even sometimes free haul-a-way.
Be care.
Old, Old two gas only able to measure CO and HC's
Old three and four gas pick up CO2 and O2.
Newest five gas stuff picks up NOx's - nitrous oxides.
Old, old equipment was always expensive to keep running and use.
90's manufactured 3 and 4 gas stuff not to bad if still manufacture supported.
ALL take special to buy "Calibration Gas" composed of precisely mixed CO, CO2 and HC (usually methane or a propane) to be able to verify your machine to measure and quote live gas composition with any accuracy.
Then there is the combustion Furnace world grade stuff.
Lab grade stuff.
Steve Unruh
I have the vacuum transducer now, (Transducers Direct #TDH31BGV01503D004) as well as (2) WIKA vacuum gauges and (2) temp gauges. I plan to construct a simple manifold with the WIKA gauge and the transducer on it very shortly and verify the readings are properly scaled and usable using a vacuum pump for my bench test. I will let all know how it works. If this works well, I'll probably play with either buying or building the float switch we talked about above, and then the thermocouples and flow meters. Not sure why I started with the vacuum transducers but that's where I started.
Interestingly, the Music City Metal temp gauges are oval in shape. From the videos it looks like Wayne has round gauges, did I get the wrong gauges or did I just not notice the oval shape while looking at the photos and videos?
Hello Henry,
The temp gauges I use are oval and should have been under ten bucks.
Thanks Wayne, those are the ones I have.
I wondered if there is a need to install a fuel/air ratio kit, or something like that, to help evaluate the performance??
Yes, Wayne has a narrowband O2 sensor with an AFR gauge in the dashboard. Even better would be a wideband sensor with gauge, they are more precise and read accurately at ratios other than 14:1.
Premium members, check out the new instrumentation page over here: http://driveonwood.com/premium/instrumentation
I got motivated to think on the temp probes today,.. I guess I need some more info here'
You are using probes rated for 2100F, I first found some rated up to 2300F, but I thought i read somewhere that the internals of the unit (combustion zone specifically) reached higher temps. Do we know what the highest expected temp reading in a WK style gasifier is?
It looks like the absolute highest thermocouples available are rated for 1600C which is 2900F, this should definitely hold up. I found this while searching around;
What is interesting about these is that they have a 4-20ma transmitter option - meaning they will connect to the much less expensive analog input cards as opposed to thermocouple input cards (GE PLC). - Sean, can you get your units with a 4-20ma transmitter?
Here's their ordering guide for this thermocouple;
What are your thoughts Sean?
Hi Henry,
So far this looks really good. I haven't tried Alumina yet currently working with Inconel and having trouble free results. The two probes on my f-150 were on my old red truck as well so over 20,000miles total on them now.
I would be interested to see what there pricing looks like. Current temps at the nozzle field at this time are not known. If I were going to measure this I would make sure the probe could handle at least 4000 f I can get these but your probably not going to like the price. Toss a nail in the gasifier and it will come back through the grate. toss a bottle cap or aluminum can in there and your never see it again. I will ask on Monday about the transmitters. Regards Sean
I was re-reading Chris's post about the AFR gauge Wayne uses. I found this wideband sensor/gauge kit;
Autometer 4378 on ebay at:
What I like about this kit isn't the price ($289.76 - haven't price checked elsewhere yet) but this;
"Gauge has a 0-4 volt output data port that can be used for data acquisition, to connect to an ECU, or for custom tuning on your laptop."
If this is a straight up linear 0-4V output, this could also be routed to the PLC's analog input card. This would allow us to create a Fuel ratio subroutine that controls the air/fuel mixture for us on the fly!
I like the product but we can do much better on the price. Try searching. Aem wideband gauge on eBay I use the analog dial version price should be 100 125 dollars at most
I think the wideband sensor output a linear voltage from 0-5 volts, you could get a simple voltmeter and translate the voltage into the desired ratio.
Agreed, that price is too high. I found several alternatives using that search. I am now interested in this one, and at $199.80 it is not only less expensive, it also has slightly better output resolution (0-5V instead of 0-4V); Great tip man!
As I begin to think about the instrumentation package, I am a bit torn conceptually on what is best. One of our core philosophies in the switchgear industry is to always have a backup. When you automate something, you always include a manual backup in case the cpu, plc, or whatever other component you are using dies. Many of the sensors, transducers, etc I am considering can be directly wired into the PLC without the need for further gauges, and in some cases it is more cost effective to then have the plc drive an analog gauge when one is desired, however I like the idea of also having the actual gauge to look at, just in case the plc does fail (they rarely fail, but it has been known to happen). I think my design concept will be to have (unless it is absolutely impossible) all measurement devices feed the PLC, with the ability to function independently if the PLC fails, or where this is not possible to have a second external device provide redundant indication. The automated bells and whistles are nice, really nice - BUT at the end of the day you must be able to use your ride, even if the toys aren't functioning properly.
Also, being sorta old school I just really like an analog gauge, it's a lot easier for your mind to interpret the needle moving across a dial scale than it is for it to interpret digital numbers on a screen this was the first thing I learned when trying to parallel multiple generators.
Believe it or not this is exactly what a large portion of our industrial metering was! You would take a voltmeter or an ammeter and then provide a scale plate labeled for whatever you were metering. Old school but it definitely works, and it is very simple.
Unfortunately both of the above kits drive the voltage output from within the gauge. It looks like the wideband sensors provide a 0.45V RAW output (from sensor to gauge), meaning if we just wanted to save some $$$ by buying the sensor for $45 we would have to develop a home-brew transducer to generate a usable voltage or current output (this voltage is too low for the PLC and most voltmeters to read). Or we could buy one kit, open up the gauge and see if we can reverse engineer it, it's probably a pretty simple PCB. This could become a huge cost saver if we all start using them...Then I found this;
0-1V to 4-20ma converter schematic; (Feeds signal to PLC or other micro-controller)
Couple it with something like this; (provides a gauge for us humans to look at)
This site has several useful schematics for those with the skill/knowledge to build their own PCB's. If we devoted the time to design the PCB there are many companies that will manufacture them for you at very low cost, sometimes less than $10 / PCB though they almost all have minimum runs. If there was significant interest in going this route, I might be willing to devote the time necessary to develop a master PCB for woodgas use - after all required and desired metering is determined (no sense in making multiple small PCB's). I wouldn't mind one that connected to all the sensors, probes, transducers etc and provided voltage outputs for gauges and 4-20ma outputs for automation, that would be pretty slick!
Although at $199 for the gauge, the sensor, the wiring harness, and the ability to drive a PLC (if desired) the AEM looks like a pretty decent value. Laziness is likely to get the best of me here!
OK, I spent a little time reading up on wideband sensors and narrowband sensors, and why thye always have controllers for wideband. This is what I came up with:
- The narrow band sensors give off a voltage potential between 0 and 1 volts. Basically flipflop from one voltage to the other, to tell the computer "rich/lean". Computer is constantly flip flopping the sensor to try and ride the edge.
- The wideband sensors take this a step further. They add an oxygen pump to the narrowband sensor, and add a small amount of oxygen to make the narrowband part stay right on the line. The current required to drive this oxygen pump varies linearly with the AFR of the exhaust gas. So we have gone from interpreting voltage to measuring current. This is where you need a controller. It has to run the oxygen pump at the right speed to balance the narrowband part, while converting the current measurement into a usable signal for the gauge/ECU. These controllers are set up to output 0-5 volts. You could then display the voltage result on any analog meter or gauge.
Summary: narrowband measures voltage 0-1v, wideband measures current and the controller outputs voltage 0-5v.
Those expensive gauges have a controller built in, there are other controllers that are inline between the gauge and sensor. Innovate makes the LC-1 and LM-1 which are inline. Pretty pricey even there.
I am familiar with the Arduino PLC platform, it may be possible to write a program to run the whole shebang and output to a cheap display or voltmeter. The chip is $4, depending on what you need with it development kits run $70 or so.
If one has loud mufflers he can set the fuel/air ratio by the sound of the motor but if the vehicle is quite the fuel/air ratio gauge really helps.
Once the gasifier has warmed up you should be able to drive out a hopper of fuel without readjusting.
I filmed this short clip just at daylight this morning.
You got it going on! I did notice that even as slowly as you were adjusting it, things jumped from lean all the way to rich very fast. I think you just demonstrated the problem with narrowband sensors, they are very sensitive in a narrow range, but not in the range that we need. Not that they can't be used, but that's why manufacturers are moving to wideband and why we should do the same.
Check out this link: http://www.megamanual.com/PWC/
Excellent Wayne. What kind of O2 "kit" did you install? I'm assuming you poked the probe into the exhaust, (I wonder where), and ran some wire. 2 wire, 3 wire or 4??
This is great you all are making some real headway on this subject. Henry that's the same gauge I use keep searching you might be able to find it even cheaper. I will look when I get a min. I can't get away with loud mufflers in my neighborhood so these have been a real help. Make sure you install the sesnor pre cat converter or you won't get good readings Regards Sean
P.S. This is the link to the same setup I have and it is also the one I would recommend notice the number scale goes from 8-18 8 rich 18 lean make sure your gauge has a wide scale range on it stay away from the ones marked e85 the price has gone up a bit since my last build
I find nothing wrong with the narrow band. The only range they display is the range you want he engine to be running in anyway. I don't need to know how far out of adjustment the mixture is.
Narrow band gauges use LED lights and if the mixture moves fast one way or the other and the driver misses the move, then confusion sets in. Once the extremes are hit the LED lights no longer light up. The analog gauge never confuses. I have tried both and would not use an LED gauge again. On the narrow band gauge the lean mark is no where the true lean mixture the truck can run on.
I agree Woody, LED's would be harder to follow. I have a dial face narrow band, no problem reading it.
Who is the gauge made by? What O2 sensor are you using?
Hello Carl,
I have been using the cheaper brands (about $30).
There is a hot wire, ground wire and a third wire that connects to the wire coming out of the computer that runs to the 02 censer.
Here are all my monitoring gauges Woody.
2 manometers, temp and AFR.(piggy back stock O2)
By the way, the thermocouple is 1" down from the restriction. It runs through the hopper where it shorted out from the moisture. When it was running, it would have the dial pegged. So of course I no longer use it. Someday I may hook it up to the grate.
link to gauges http://www.amazon.com/GlowShift-White-Color-Needle-Ratio/dp/B007K8MU08/r...
Thanks Terry. That's the first analog air to fuel mixture gauge I've seen. So you hooked it up to the factory O2 sensor? If so, that's neat and very good setup imo.
Drove 50 miles on wood yesterday and the wood is soaked now. It never gets a chance to dry out with 96% humidity and 5 inches of rain over night. I keep a stack of 2x4 scraps in the garage to keep dry for start ups.
I had nearly the same problem with my first thermocouples. The acid from the wood gas ate up the wire and started giving all kinds of weird readings. The shielded one has lasted almost 10 months now and still looks OK.
Yes, it's connected to the stock sensor.
If I had as much rain as you guys, I think I would have to monitor those temps pretty closely. We all do what we need to get by.
My thermocouple has the ceramic blocks/separators. It is not sealed from the environment so hopper sludge was able to short it out.
The gasifier killer on this end was the heavy loads we were trying to pull. The wet wood hasn't been a problem. We have several different ways of dealing with the wet stuff. In the Ranger if I load the bed up with wood the thing heats up more than when empty. There are times when heat makes more of a difference depending on the state of the gasifier.
sean, have you ever thought of trying to use oxygen sensors as a "crude and cheap" way of measuring gasifier operation, i believe since you have a wealth of thermocouples you could observe changes in temperature and compare to O2 sensor readings, they might be able to be pretty close to the burner, cooling rack, or after the hay filter, i think if it were to work it could be a cheap alternative means of instrumentation, but i can see them getting plugged easily, since woodgas isnt engine exhaust,
just a thought
I think that measuring the gasifier temp is extremely important. And the probes and displays I use are dead on accurate well worth the money for what your getting. I have used these same probes for years now they never fail. Do you know something about o2 sensors I don't because as far as I know they don't respond to heat only flammables. Below is a test to see if a sensor is bad or not. Sean
i actually dont know a lot about them, and yes im sure having a accurate and precise (those are two very different adjectives) temp reading is the best you can get, if O2 sensors are looking for a varying amount of O2 (not sure of this but the name implies this), i would hypothesize that the O2 levels would increase as a gasifier was running low on fuel, i figured since you have a very good feel for your equipment, and have watched it perform over and over again that adding an O2 sensor and comparing its readings with your gasifiers usual behavior and the actual temp readings that you might be able to see trends between the O2 sensor readings and your temp readings, the only reason i ask or suggest is bc i have a bunch of those laying around and i know they work, and im a budget minded individual, anything i can get for free ill take it, and i was thinking about how i would go about instrumenting my unit, bc i dont want to melt the thing down out in the middle of nowhere or something, ill look into this more, i just figured since they are used in exhaust applications they could take the heat, and even soot/tar, but i think it could be likely they would gumm up after a few thousand miles
Yes your are on the right thinking path however the temps will rise instantly as soon as the unit runs out of fuel. The next will be weak gas at this point the temps are already to hot and risk damaging the unit. So I wouldn't try or rely on it next the o2 sensor in the gas stream is not going to hold up over time it will carbon up and you will constantly be cleaning it. My probes tell me lots of information not just out of fuel. Also overall gasifier conditions and leaks in the system. More on this later
if you want to experiment there is nothing wrong with that if you want something that is tried tested and proved the probes are here for you. It comes down to how much is your time worth to you. Sean
yea i watched the video, thats neat and i didnt know that, and yea i bet they do gum up, if you had to pick a basic and reliable set of thermocouples, and their locations in a standard burner+cyclone+cooler+filter unit and their temp ranges what would you suggest? just me thinking again i would say one right around the grate area and right around the entrance to the cooling rack, do you think reliable operation from those two thermocouple locations and a few vacuum guages between systems would give the user enough information to run with out too much worry? also what temp ranges for the needed locations? you said earlier 4000deg f for the burner area and then maybe like a 100-600 deg f for the cooling rack area?
Hi Brent,
We were asked in a machine design class, "What's the difference between precision and accuracy?". Lots of puzzled looks including mine. Suppose a program is set to drill a series of holes in a plate. Precision is drilling every hole in the exact same place every time. Accuracy is making sure those that those holes are located in the correct location in reference to the plate.
I'm at a point where I want to monitor temps in my gasifier so this is great info for me, but you are technically heads and tails above me, but the monitoring is fascinating. I'm at the beginner laser pointer level and not sure if that's worthwhile information.
That's a sharp looking PU.
thanks pepe, i always remember by thinking about rulers, where the distance between the hash marks being as close to equal as possible determining the precision of the tool, and then if you measure an inch with this ruler and it is infact an actual inch then the tool would be considered accurate, yes your analogy is right on, and thanks about my truck!
Hi Guys
Yes O2 sensors do measure the "Remaining" oxygen in an exhaust stream. Narrow band type only designed as a feed back sensor around a very narrow range.The single wire (two wire and some three wire) snesors do this outputting a variable self made voltage signal from the inside of a ceramic tube closed end tube exposed to the outside air versus outside of the tube exposed to the exhaust gases. The tube surfaces are coated with rare metals. This style has to be heated to work and yes is easily contaminated from either side of the tube.
The wide band types can be either be in external testing instruments or exhaust stream mounted. Tney are ussally designed to measure oxygen from zero to ~22%. To do this they are always self heater heated, and most use an oxegen changing variable resistance element tech. So they must have an outside power supply for the heater element, a very precice fixed input voltage or amperage external supply. Measurement changes are in monitoring circuit voltage or amperage changes created by the oxegen present changed sensor resistance. They are also easily contaminated. A lot more electronics involved and software logic in these.
Varying pulse width tech can also be used. These have always had a very high in field failure rate. Lab rat stuff.
Temp monitoring is much more reliable and direct and durable for the operating conditions. Pressure monitoring good outside the core hot zones.

Imagine using a dozen stud sensors at the same time. That's the basic idea behind the Franklin ProSensor (though it looks more like a grout float than a stud sensor). This tool monitors an entire 7-inch area of a wall in 13 different locations, so you can see both edges of the stud at once. It scans to a depth of 1-1/2 inches and — because of its length — can detect multiple objects at the same time. No tedious calibrating is required; you just place the tool against the wall and it starts working. Price: $50. 208-918-2403. www.franklinsensors.com.

Study finds short-term effect may not be beneficial
THURSDAY, Dec. 17 (HealthDay News) -- In a surprise finding, Canadian researchers report that the immediate effect of the fish oil fatty acids that are good for the heart is a short-term increase in blood fats and the molecules that help them form clots.
"We were surprised to find that the acute response has some potentially negative effects in comparison to what you might expect from chronic, long-term intake," said Lindsay E. Robinson, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Guelph, and leader of the group reporting the finding in the January issue of the Journal of Nutrition.
However, the study results shouldn't affect the current recommendation for eating more oily fish to get the omega-3 polyunsaturated acids that reduce the risk of blood clots that can cause heart attacks and stroke, Robinson said.
"The recommendation to increase intake is very well-studied, and this doesn't change it," she said.
And the effects were seen in a selected group of middle-aged men with metabolic syndrome, a combination of high blood pressure, obesity and elevated blood fat levels, Robinson noted.
"We don't have any reference to a healthy control group, which the study didn't have," she said. "It's possible that in these individuals, there may be a different response to omega-3 fatty acids."
Still, it does indicate that further study is warranted of the effects of omega-3 fatty acids in the postprandial period, the hours immediately following a meal, Robinson said.
"We spend up to 18 hours a day in the postprandial period," she said.
In the study, eight men had controlled intake of three regimens: high doses of omega-3 fatty acids, low doses of them and just plain water. Robinson and her colleagues measured several blood components involved in clotting, including fats and clotting factors such as plasminoge
