To most goalkeepers, the famous canary yellow shirts of Brazil are not romantically nostalgic emblems of sublime skill and Latin American flair but garish hi-vis warning signs highlighting the proximity of dangerously talented footballers.
Yet when a Brazilian squad which contains the prodigiously gifted 20-year-old Neymar, Luis Fabiano and the recalled Ronaldinho step out at Wembley tomorrow night, England goalkeeper Joe Hart will be one of the most excited people in the stadium.
"I grew up watching the magic of Brazil so it would be a really special match to play in," says Hart, 25, with a characteristic lack of fear.
"As a kid I remember watching the skills of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and now there are new names like Neymar and Oscar. Even as a goalkeeper, you want to play Brazil. My first World Cup memories are from USA '94, which Brazil won. England weren't there so I think I was an Ireland fan for that. But the only way I will enjoy the game is if we come out with a positive result."
Hart knows that skilful players can embarrass a goalkeeper. In his last appearance for England — the 4-2 defeat by Sweden in November — he conceded four goals to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, including a spectacular overhead kick. "I definitely didn't see the positives," admits Hart, with a sigh. "It was a great goal from a great individual talent. As a goalkeeper you are sometimes going to have beauties go past you and that was one of them."
Conceding wonder goals aside, Hart, who has started 24 of England's last 27 internationals, is now an established figure for his country. At Euro 2012, he saved 88 per cent of the shots he faced and made a tournament-high 22 saves. Last year he kept five clean sheets in 11 internationals. "I'm trying hard to be perfect but it's not always possible, is it?" he says. "I've had a few games when things haven't gone great and some good games, too, so it balances out. But I love playing for my country and I give it my all."
However, the Manchester City goalkeeper shyly shrugs off the suggestion of Italian stopper Gianluigi Buffon that he is destined to be the best goalkeeper in the world. "It was a real compliment but there are many goalkeepers I admire today, from Hugo Lloris to Manuel Neuer. And Gianluigi Buffon is a real hero of mine."
For manager Roy Hodgson's team, the Brazil friendly will be a high-profile warm-up ahead of their 2014 World Cup Group H qualifiers away to San Marino on March 22 and group leaders Montenegro four days later.
Although the presence at Wembley of the 2014 World Cup hosts inevitably leads to thoughts of next year's tournament, Hart won't make bold predictions. "First, we need to get there. In my opinion, we've got the players to win a World Cup but so have other teams. Every player who plays international football wants to win a World Cup and we're no different. You need ability and you need luck but talent-wise we shouldn't be afraid of anyone."
When Hart and his Manchester City team-mates, Joleon Lescott and James Milner, team up with the United contingent of Chris Smalling, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck, it will signify a rare truce in the fierce rivalry between the clubs.
Hart admits the players do discuss the ebb and flow of the title race but their conversations are framed by a mutual respect. "We all get on very well when we meet up. You have to be very respectful about the touchy subjects because players have passion and love for their club. I'm the same for my club and so we are never disrespectful.
"We spoke with them about winning the League [last season] and it was open and respectful and a very good vibe. Danny Welbeck is the worst to crack because he is a mad, mad, mad Manchester United fan. I joke that he can hate me at United but we have to be friends with England.
"He lives on my road actually and we have some good banter but it is always professional. I remember the feeling in our dressing room after we lost [3-2] to United [on December 9].
"We were very hurt but dusted ourselves off and moved on."
Although Hart has made errors for City this season, he has still kept 11 clean sheets and his defence have conceded 21 goals in 25 matches — 10 fewer than United. He says: "I'm loving this season. Obviously I've had some lows and so have the team but not everything goes the way you want it to. It's good to have to fight sometimes. It makes you stronger."
Hart points to City's gritty Christmas battles with Reading (1-0), Sunderland (0-1) and Norwich (4-3) as evidence of the high standards of the Premier League. "This season has been tough from day one. Last season when we were flying we got those lucky breaks and those 2-0 leads but this year we've had tight games, sendings-off and lots of drama. We know that some teams will accept a point from us and we need to find ways round it."
Following the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, City are now nine points behind United with 13 games remaining but Hart maintains faith in his team.
He says: "We need to go on a run now and get that points gap down but I'm confident because we've got world-class players — two in every position.
"I don't know if winning the League this season would top last year. I have not had a feeling like that before but I just know I want to feel it again."
Whether it is Hart or Welbeck who will be making the jokes this summer remains to be seen. But for 90 minutes against Brazil, the Premier League title race will be the last thing on their minds. "Brazil are such a big name in football and to beat them would be very special," says Hart. "If we can beat them, we can beat anyone."

The 'Carl Vinson' Carrier Strike Group fulfilled a new mission: patrol and secure protected fishing areas in the southern Pacific
While that mission is routine to the Coast Guard, it was the first time an aircraft carrier was involved in fighting illegal fishing in Oceania, a vast region northeast of Australia.
Officials say Oceania is important not only to U.S. economic prosperity, but also 22 Pacific island nations financially dependent on their local fisheries.
A key area is what's known as the "Tuna Belt," which runs along the equator and supplies 57 percent of the world's tuna.
Many livelihoods are threatened by illegal fishing, said Coast Guard Cmdr. Mark Morin, incident management branch chief with the Coast Guard's 14th District in Honolulu. "There's about $1.7 billion annually that is lost to illegal fishing [in Oceania]," said Morin.
The Coast Guard's limited assets make it tough for constant air and sea patrols to enforce maritime laws in Oceania.
Carl Vinson and its embarked carrier air wing, along with the cruiser Bunker Hill and destroyer Halsey, participated, marking the Navy's biggest support of the mission yet. The Vinson's jets, turboprops and helicopters flew more than five dozen sorties patrolling the region.

Who doesn't love glitter? Judging by the popularity of glittery manis, your clients probably can...
Scented Polish Manicure
With all the buzz about the re-launch of Tuff Scent, I couldn't help but dig out my Wicked Sweet Collection from Color Club. The yummy-scented polishes remain sweet-smelling for days after applying—subtle, but still there. Since I'm already getting sad that summer is coming to a way-too-early-end, thought I'd do a sunny and bright mani using Raspberry Rush from the Wicked Sweet Collection.
The ring finger's base is a green striper from Art Club painted down the middle with pink Raspberry Rush and topped off withmy favorite shatter OPI's Gold Shatter.
It's fun, flirty and fabulous—just as your summer weekend should be!

Sophie Hart's prescription for a second win
Relevant offers
A second Speight's Coast to Coast win was just what Nelson doctor Sophie Hart ordered and she reckoned yesterday's victory was as sweet as her first.
The 29-year-old GP regained the title she won in 2010 from last year's winner Elina Ussher by more than 35 minutes yesterday.
Hart, who did not enter last year, was "pretty stoked" to win because "Elina's such a tough competitor" and there had been "a bit of pre-race talk about it being a battle between me and her".
"I think there was a bit of pressure. I couldn't really hide so much as I did last time."
Hart had a bit of chain trouble on the first bike leg from Kumara to Aickens on the West Coast.
"But a good friend of mine from Nelson, David Ayre, stopped and helped me get my chain back on and helped pull me back up to the bunch, so it didn't cost me any time at all.
"I was pretty grateful to him, I think I owe him a beer."
Hart, a world adventure racing champion with a proven reputation as a paddler, said she "expected Elina to catch me" on the mountain run yesterday.
"I would have been happy to come off behind Elina."
But Hart ran the 33km stage more than 11 minutes faster than Ussher and both athletes undoubtedly knew the race was over once she hit the Waimakariri River kayak transition with such a commanding lead, although Hart said it was "so early in the day, I wasn't going to rest back".
But Ussher, who won last year with husband Richard (the first Coast to Coast couple to do so), knew it was "going to be a long day" at that point.
"I just wasn't on today," Ussher said. "I was really trying, but I just didn't have the legs today.
"The first cycle was OK.[But] Sophie got away at the start of the run. She cycled in running shoes and I had to change into running shoes.
"I was trying to stay close [on the run] but I just didn't have any legs. I finished the run, thinking 'it's going to be a long day'.
"I was sorry I couldn't make it more interesting."
Hart won the women's section (and was 15th) overall in 12hr 36min 19sec with Ussher second on 13hr 11min 49sec. Ailsa Rollinson, a 27-year-old lifeguard and swim instructor from Wanaka, was third in 13hr 46min 37sec.

March 10, 2014 - A little smaller than expected but very pretty and well-made - perfect for me. Thank you.
January 7, 2014 - I bought them for a friend at Christmas. They do not look as nice as the photo. I agree that they look like purple plastic beads instead of a stone. BUT - good for the price.
June 19, 2013 - These are pretty little earrings, nicely made. The hooks are definitely larger than normal, I had no problem wearing them, but definitely not as comfortable as regular wires and harder to put safety backs on. I was lucky enough to receive mine free with another purchase .
May 28, 2013 - I was very disappointed in these earrings. The hooks are large. You can't tell by looking at them from straight on but from the side they are strangely wide. The "stones" themselves can't be stones. I have other amethyst jewelry and these look like cheap opaque plastic instead. :(
May 27, 2013 - I've purchased several items from this site and this is the only one I've been really displeased with. The stones look like purple plastic beads and the hooks are freakishly large and uncomfortable on my ears.

Did Dakota Fanning break her mother's no tattoo rule when she met Kat Von D on "Lopez Tonight" on Tuesday?
Not quite.
On Tuesday night's show, the 16-year-old"Runaways" star told late night host George Lopez that she's a huge fan of "LA Ink's" Kat, but she made a pledge to her mom that she'd never wind up with any body art.
"I love [Kat]…I just think she is so cool," Dakota said. "She is so talented and she is such a great artist.
"When I was like 11, [my mom] made me sign a contract and it says, 'I will not ever get a tattoo,' and it's like the little X and a line and I had to sign my name," Dakota added.
That, however, didn't stop George from surprising Dakota by bringing out Kat, who was ready to put her artistic stamp on Dakota's arm – at least temporarily.
Kat took the young actress backstage and drew a cherry bomb tattoo on her arm with colored pens – an ode to her role as rock legend Cherie Currie in her new movie with Kristen Stewart.
"I love it, I really love it," an overjoyed Dakota said after seeing Kat's work on her arm. "My mom's going to love it. My mom loves Kat, despite her making me sign the contract. She loves Kat!"

Metta World Peace on Lamar Odom: 'I was worried'
- Updated: November 30, 2013
New York Knicks forward Metta World Peace was concerned about his childhood friend Lamar Odom amid reports of marital issues and drug and alcohol abuse. So much so, that he reached out and gave him a phone call.
Via ESPNLosAngeles.com's Arash Markhazi:
"I spoke to him and he's working out," World Peace said. "I'm happy that I spoke to him. I was a little bit upset because I know he's in another stage in his life now, but when you know somebody since they're 11 years old and they're going through adversity and you can't get to them, me and Elton [Brand] were very upset. We won a championship together, we played with each other since we were kids, and we came into the league together and were on the same team for years. Now our brother is in a little bit of trouble and we don't know where he's at, so me and Elton were pretty concerned. I finally hunted his number down and I talked to him and was relieved after that. It was stressful."
Like many Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and NBA fans who root for the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year, World Peace was genuinely concerned. Without being able to sift through all the reports about his whereabouts and condition, which were often conflicting, he grew concerned enough to lend an ear and determine what was going on for himself.
Also not unlike the much of the general public, he was relieved to hear of his desire to work out, get back in basketball shape and make a potential return to the Clippers.
When he's right, Odom is one of the most skilled players in the NBA who can play all five positions. In his last full season with the Clippers, he played in all 82 games, starting two and averaging 4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in 19.7 minutes.
As for World Peace, the ex-Lakers champion is averaging career lows of 7.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in 11 games. The Knicks are struggling at just 3-10 as they try to climb back into relevancy in the Eastern Conference.

Using Integrative Models in an Advanced Heterogeneous System SimulationPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 3 - 10
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (551 KB) | | HTML
This paper is an academic experience report describing the use by researchers at the University of Arizona of a domain-specific language developed by the Institute for Software Integrated Systems (at Vanderbilt University). The domain in question is heterogeneous, distributed simulation of quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as they respond to command and control requests from a human operator. We describe in detail how our individual designs of the controller and guidance laws for the UAV, its rendering and position updates, on-board sensors, and the various commands to delegate mission-critical behaviors, all interact using the ISIS-developed modeling language. We then discuss the outlook for this domain (heterogeneous system simulation and integration) for domain-specific languages and models, specifically for unmanned vehicle control and interaction.

CQML: Aspect-Oriented Modeling for Modularizing and Weaving QoS Concerns in Component-Based SystemsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 11 - 20
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (541 KB) | | HTML
Current domain-specific modeling (DSM) frameworks for designing component-based systems often consider the system's structural and behavioral concerns as the two dominant concerns of decomposition while treating nonfunctional or quality of service (QoS) concerns as an after thought. Such frameworks lack a strong decoupling between the modeling of the system's structural composition and their QoS requirements. This lack of QoS modularization limits (1) reusability of such frameworks, (2) ease of maintenance when new non-functional characteristics are added, and (3) independent evolution of the modeling frameworks along both the structural and non-functional dimensions. This paper describes component QoS modeling language (CQML), which is a reusable, extensible, and aspect-oriented modeling approach that provides strong separation between the structural and non-functional dimensions. CQML supports independent evolution of structural as well as QoS metamodel of composition modeling languages. The join point model of CQML enables declarative QoS aspect modeling and supports automatic weaving of structural changes effected by QoS requirements. We evaluate the capabilities of CQML for a variety of structural modeling languages and provide quantitative results indicating the modeling effort saved in automating the weaving of QoS concerns.

Application Capturing and Performance Estimation in an Holistic Design EnvironmentPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 21 - 30| | Quick Abstract | PDF (380 KB) | | HTML
The objective of the hArtes (holistic approach to reconfigurable real time embedded systems) is to provide a tool set that facilitates the management of entire design flow. Despite of its improved design productivity, the two bottleneck are: (1) capturing initial application specifications in the specified graphical tool and (2) Cycle accurate performance estimation in design space exploration. We propose: (1) a transformation methodology for converting reference sequential C code to data-flow specifications and (2) a design space exploration framework based on cycle accurate performance estimation. The proposed transformation methodology is based on functions reorganization and variables definitions. The proposed design space exploration framework consists of two design loops: computational architecture selection loop and communication architecture selection loop. Before entering into these loops, it is critical to estimate the performance of application function blocks. We propose a performance estimation methodology by performing simulations at CABA (cycle accurate bit accurate) level. Instead of simulating the entire application, each function block is instrumented and executed on the target simulation platform and the resulting information is stored in a performance estimation library. Experimentation with H.264 video encoding application proves the viability of the proposed transformation methodology. Validation and performance evaluations for performance estimation technique are done by extending the SoCLib library of simulation models. View full abstract»
Raising the Abstraction of Domain-Specific Model Translator DevelopmentPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 31 - 37| | Quick Abstract | PDF (335 KB) | | HTML
Model-based development methodologies are gaining ground as software applications are getting more and more complex while the pressure to decrease time-to-market continually increase. Domain-specific modeling tools that support system analysis, simulation, and automatic code generation can increase productivity. However, most domain-specific model translators are still manually written. This paper presents a technique that automatically generates a domain-specific application programming interface from the same metamodels that are used to define the domain-specific modeling language itself. This facilitates the creation of domain-specific model translators by providing a high-level abstraction hiding all the cumbersome modeling tool-specific implementation details from the developer. The approach is illustrated using the generic modeling environment and the Microsoft .NET C# language. View full abstract»
A Task Tree Executor: New Runtime for Parallelized Legacy SoftwarePublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 41 - 47
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (380 KB) | | HTML
Building a very large-scale distributed system, such as a power distribution system, was always regarded as a highly demanding undertaking in the area of engineering of computer based systems. Such systems nowadays are managing tens of millions of input variables using rather complex mathematical calculations. Traditionally, these calculations are implemented as sequential software, e.g. in FORTRAN. Under the current circumstances, when the processors are facing the well-known frequency wall, the research community started exploring new technology opportunities brought by the modern symmetric multiprocessors and multicores. One of the most challenging tasks in building modern very large-scale systems is the parallelization of legacy software. This paper contributes to the overall research effort in the area by proposing an original approach to parallelization of legacy sequential software. In the paper we introduce the concept of parallelization based on data slicing and construction of the corresponding task tree. Then we present the new runtime engine referred to as the task tree executor. Finally, we present the results of the performance evaluation based on a series of experiments made on the dual-core symmetric multiprocessor. View full abstract»
Semantically Enhanced Containers for Concurrent Real-Time SystemsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 48 - 57
Cited by: Papers (1) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (407 KB) | | HTML
Future space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory, are built upon computing platforms providing a high degree of autonomy and diverse functionality. The increased sophistication of robotic spacecraft has skyrocketed the complexity and cost of its software development and validation. The engineering of autonomous spacecraft software relies on the availability and application of advanced methods and tools that deliver safe concurrent synchronization as well as enable the validation of domain-specific semantic invariants. The software design and certification methodologies applied at NASA do not reach the level of detail of providing guidelines for the development of reliable concurrent software. To achieve effective and safe concurrent interactions as well as guarantee critical domain-specific properties in code, we introduce the notion of a Semantically Enhanced Container (SEC). A SEC is a data structure engineered to deliver the flexibility and usability of the popular ISO C++ Standard Template Library containers, while at the same time it is hand-crafted to guarantee domain-specific policies. We demonstrate the SEC proof-of-concept by presenting a shared nonblocking SEC vector. To eliminate the hazards of the ABA problem (a fundamental problem in lock-free programming), we introduce an innovative library for querying C++ semantic information. Our SEC design aims at providing an effective model for shared data access within the JPL's Mission Data System. Our test results show that the SEC vector delivers significant performance gains (a factor of 3 or more) in contrast to the application of nonblocking synchronization amended with the traditional ABA avoidance scheme.

A Systematic Process for Implementing Gateways for Test ToolsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 58 - 66| | Quick Abstract | PDF (827 KB) | | HTML
Test automation is facing a new challenge because tools, as well as having to provide conventional test functionalities, must be capable to interact with ever more heterogeneous complex systems under test (SUT). The number of existing software interfaces to access these systems is also a growing number. The problem cannot be analyzed only from a technical or engineering perspective; the economic perspective is as important. This paper presents a process to systematically implement gateways which support the communication between test tools and SUTs with a reduced cost. The proposed solution does not preclude any interface protocol at the SUT side. This process is supported using a generic architecture of a gateway defined on top of OSGi. Any test tool can communicate with the gateway through a unique defined interface. To communicate the gateway and the SUT, basically, the driver corresponding to the SUT software interface has to be loaded. View full abstract»
Modeling and Analysis of Probabilistic Timed SystemsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 69 - 78| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1553 KB) | | HTML
Probabilistic models are useful for analyzing systems which operate under the presence of uncertainty. In this paper, we present a technique for verifying safety and liveness properties for probabilistic timed automata. The proposed technique is an extension of a technique used to verify stochastic hybrid automata using an approximation with Markov Decision Processes. A case study for CSMA/CD protocol has been used to show case the methodology used in our technique. View full abstract»
Using CSP to Model and Analyze TinyOS ApplicationsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 79 - 88
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (317 KB) | | HTML
The TinyOS concurrency model, although easier to reason about than shared-state threads, may still produce undesirable behavior as a result of unexpected interleaving of concurrent activities. This is problematic, since TinyOS applications are typically intended to run unattended for long periods of time, and must be reliable. In this paper, we describe a technique for modeling the interactions between TinyOS application components, and between an application and the TinyOS scheduling and preemption mechanisms, using the process algebra CSP. Analysis of the resulting process models can help TinyOS application developers to discover and diagnose concurrency-related errors in their designs that might otherwise go undetected until deployment of the application.

Distributed BMC: A Depth-First Approach to Explore Clause SymmetryPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 89 - 94| | Quick Abstract | PDF (573 KB) | | HTML
In recent years new and efficient symbolic model checking algorithms have been developed. One technique, bounded model checking or BMC, has been particularly promising. BMC models the system being verified as a boolean formula whose satisfying assignments provide counterexamples for properties verified. BMC unrolls the system in its multiple iterations. Because of this the structure of the formula representing the system is very symmetric, since all iterations are similar in structure. This work explores this symmetry in a distributed algorithm by postponing the unrolling of the formulas until they are used. This minimizes communication among processors since the formulas transmitted are shorter. Moreover, avoiding the unrolling of conflict clauses has a more pronounced effect, because due to the symmetric nature of the formula, a conflict clause for one instant in the execution can be applied to time multiple instants. As a consequence, short conflict clauses can be unrolled into much more effective clauses, cutting back on the search space significantly. In our experiments we have obtained gains of up to 35% in verification time in some examples. View full abstract»
On the Meaning of SysML Activity DiagramsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 95 - 105
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (394 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, we aim to ascribe a meaning to SysML activity diagrams. To this end, we propose a dedicated algebraic-like language, namely activity calculus, and an operational semantics that provides a rigorous and intuitive operational understanding of the behavior captured by the diagram. The semantics covers advanced control flows such as unstructured loops and concurrent control flows. Further more, our approach allows non well-formed control flows, with mixed and nested forks and joins. The probabilistic behaviors as specified in SysML are also considered. This formalization allows us to build a sound framework for the verification and validation of systems design expressed in SysML activity diagrams. View full abstract»
Software Architectural Design Meets Security EngineeringPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 109 - 118| | Quick Abstract | PDF (355 KB) | | HTML
Security requirements strongly influence the architectural design of complex IT systems in a similar way as other non-functional requirements. Both security engineering as well as software engineering provide methods to deal with such requirements. However, there is still a critical gap concerning the integration of the methods of these separate fields. In this paper we close this gap with respect to security requirements by proposing a method that combines software engineering approaches with state-of-the-art security engineering principles. This method establishes an explicit alignment between the non-functional goal, the principles in the field of security engineering, and the implementation of a security architecture. The method aims at designing a system's security architecture based on a small, precisely defined, and application-specific trusted computing base. We illustrate this method by means of a case study which describes distributed enterprise resource planning systems using web services to implement business processes across company boundaries.

Tradeoff and Sensitivity Analysis of a Hybrid Model for Ranking Commercial Off-the-Shelf ProductsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 119 - 127
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (485 KB) | | HTML
Despite its popularity, The COTS-based development still faces some challenges, in particular the evaluation and selection process in which uncertainty plays a major role. A hybrid model, composed of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Bayesian belief network (BBN), is proposed to evaluate and rank various COTS candidates while explicitly considering uncertainty. Several input parameters such as weights assigned to evaluation criteria, relative scores for various COTS candidates, and prior belief about the satisfaction of various attributes associated with the evaluation criteria need to be estimated. The estimation process of these input parameters is subject to uncertainty that limits the applicability of the modelpsilas results. In this paper, we apply sensitivity analysis to check the validity and robustness of the model. Further, we apply tradeoff analysis to explore the impact of relaxing one criterion in order to achieve an increase in another criterion that is considered as more desirable in a particular project context.

Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (292 KB) | | HTML
Shortage of electricity is a major problem in many developing countries. Unfortunately, for some of these countries the only solution to this problem is to shut down complete electricity supply to a few neighborhoods to make up for the gap between demand and supply. To this end, we have developed a self-optimization approach to reduce the gap between demand and supply through remotely controlling high powered electric devices such as air conditioners. In this approach we have used mathematical optimization techniques such as linear programming to intelligently manage the electricity distribution. Not only through this approach we have been able to provide service-level guarantees to the consumers but we have also shown that our approach is fast, scalable and has the ability to handle unscheduled spikes in the system.

Validating and Dynamically Adapting and Composing Features in Concurrent Product-Lines ApplicationsPublication Year: 2009 , Page(s): 138 - 146| | Quick Abstract | PDF (318 KB) | | HTML
With the pressing in-time-market towards customized services, software product lines (SPL) are increasingly characterizing most of software landscape. SPL are mainly structured through offered features, where consistent composition and dynamic variability are the driving forces. We contribute to these two challenging problems when distribution and correctness are at stake. First, we soundly specify and validate any feature-oriented requirements using a component-based Petri nets framework referred to as co-nets. For rapid-prototyping, we semantically interpret in true-concurrent rewriting logic. For consistently composing features, a flexible feature-algebra is proposed. Finally, for runtime adaptability and integration of features, we leverage co-nets with an explicit aspectual-level, where features can be dynamically (un)woven on running components. The approach is thoroughly explained using a feature-intensive multi-lift system. View full abstract»

SURVEYORS MONUMENT SETTER Filed May 10, 1948 IN V EN TOR.
Emma/dd (ac/(e.
A TTORNEY Patented Dec. 26, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SURVEYURS MONUMENT SETTER Raynold J. Cooke, East Tawas, Mich. ApplicationMaylll, 1948, Serial No. 26,015
(01. sa-zm) 4 Claims.
This invention relates: to monument setters such as: used by civil engineers, surveyors, and
other craftsmen, and has for its object the. production of a simple, practical, and substantial monument setter, which when once set, can be swung clear to permit unobstructed placing of the. monument, and then swung back to exact original position to the required center.
Another object isto design a monument setter which can be positively set and reset as many times as desired, which requires a minimum of maintenance and/ or upkeep.
A further object is to provid a monument setting mechanism which can be readily handled and set up, and which includes a rotatablehorizontally adjustable plumb bob assembly which can be swung to permit unobstructed digging and placing of a concrete monument, after which the plumb bobassembly can be swung back to original position.
Still a further object is to design a monument setter which need not be exactly vertical to secure proper setting, which eliminates the necessity of re-adjustment of the permanent marker after being once set, because the point and original center is always visible by position of previously set and adjusted plumb bob.
A further object is to design a relatively inexpensive monument setter composed of few parts, all of. sturdy, substantial construction, and E which can be readily manufactured and assembled.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion, and minor details of construction, without departing from the spirit, or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side-elevational view showing the instrument set up for use, the broken lines illustrating the outward adjusting of the plumb bob.
Fig. 2 is a top, plan view, the broken lines illustrating the swinging of the plumb bob arm.
Fig. 3 is a transverse-sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing in which I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention. Th numeral 5 comprises a hollow, preferably tubular body member, the lower end of which is pointed as at 6 so that it maybe readily driven into the ground by wooden maul (not shown) or the like. A fitting l is-provided on the upper end of the member 5, and a setscrew 8 is provided therein in the usual'manner.
A hollow post 9 is adjustably mounted in the upper end of the member 5; it is vertically ad J'ustable therein and is held in position by means of the setscrew 8, which is formed with wings H) for easy manipulation thereof.
A stopmember H is secured to the upper end of the post 9 by means of a setscrew I2, said member being formed with an offset shouldered section l3 which serves as a stop, and in a manner to be presently described.
An adjusting rod M is rotatably' mounted in the post 9, and a collar C is fixed thereon, an arm support [5 being provided on the upper end of said rod, and a transversely extending arm 16 is slidably mounted in said support.
A clamp H is fixedly mounted on the arm IE at a point intermediate its length, and a tangent screw [8 is also mounted in the support l5 and is provided with a knurled head l9 for easy roanipulation, said screw having threaded engagement with the clamp I! for the purpose of making minute adjustments after the arm l6 has been roughly set at approximate position.
The collar member C is fixedly mounted on the rod M and bears on the member ll, said collar being formed with a split oifset shoulder 2! as shown, and an adjusting screw 22 is provided in the shoulder 21 for minute adjustment after the mechanism has been roughly set.
A small opening 23 is provided on the outer end of the arm 16, and a cord 24 is threaded therein, a setscrew 25 being provided on the end of the arm, so that the cord may be secured in set position.
A plumb bob 2G is provided on the lower end of the cord 24, and this arm and plumb bob can be swung to position to provide an unobstructed digging, tamping, or monument setting area, and then swung back to identical original position over the marker M, without the necessity of resetting or adjustments of any nature.
The device can be readily disassembled and compactly bundled for transportation or storage, and in use, the marker M is first located; the pointed end 6 of the barrel 5 is then driven into the ground at a point not greater than the length of the arm l6 from the marker M.
The surveyor then places the post 9 in the member 5 and tightens the setscrew 8 to secure the members in set position. He then. mounts the rod M in the barrel 9 and inserts the arm l8 in the support [5. The cord 24 with plumb bob attached, is then placed in position and the screw 25 tightened to securely suspend the plumb bob in set position.
The arm 16 is then swung so that the plumb bob is roughly over the marker to be permanented, with the end of the adjusting screw 22 in contact with the one face of the shoulder l3; the screws 8 and 28 are then tightened to secure the barrel 9 and prevent rotation of the rod [4, the arm l6 being free for extension or retraction by means of the tangent screw l3.
With the plumb bob directl over the marker M, the holding screw 28 is tightened toclamp the member 2! and secure the screw 22 in set position, and the marker M is now ready for replacement.
In order that the workman may have an unobstructed working area for digging etc., the arm I8 is swung clockwise out of the working area, and the setscrew H! is then tightened to hold it in set position; the hole is then dug and the monument or other permanent marker (not shown) is then set.
The operator then loosens the setscrew l2 and swings the arm back to original setting, checking to see that the screw 22 is in contact with the shoulder l3; he then tightens the setscrew :2. The original center of the marker is relocated, and the tamping of the earth around.the monument can then be completed. No adjustment of the monument center is necessary after the earth has been tamped, as the center is at all times shown by the plumb bob.
The operation is simple and easy; it can be quickly accomplished, and there is no readjusting necessary.
From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple, practical, and inexpensive surveyors monument setter, which can be compactly folded and stored, which eliminates the necessity of resetting with the possibility of error incident thereto, and which can be swung to leave the entire area clear and free for digging and setting of the monument at the point desired.
What I claim is:
l. A surveyors monument setter comprising a sectional, hollow, telescopic stake having a rotatably adjustable stop collar mounted on the upper end thereof, a raised stop on said stop collar, a vertically adjustable rod mounted in said stake, a collar fixed thereon and engageable with said stop collar, an offset shouldered section on said second collar, a horizontall disposed adjusting screw mounted in said offset shouldered section and engageable with the raised stop for circumferentially adjusting said rod in said stake, and means for locking the adjusting screw in set position.
2. The combination defined in claim 1 in which the offset shouldered section is horizontally split, and the locking means comprises a screw for securing the adjusting screw in set position.
3. The combination set forth in claim 1 in which an arm support is provided on the upper end of the vertically adjustable rod, a transversely extending rod slidably mounted in said support, a clamp fixed thereon, and an elongated screw journaled in said support and engageable with said clamp for moving said rod horizontally in said support when the screw is actuated.
4. A surveyors monument setter comprising a sectional, hollow stake having a stop collar onthe upper end thereof with an offset shouldered stop formed integral therewith, a vertically disposed rod adjustably mounted in said stake and formed with a split, ofiset shoulder circumferentially engageable with said offset shouldered stop, means for circumferentially adjusting said rod in said stake, an arm support on the upper end of the rod, a transversely extending rod slidably mounted therein, a clamp fixed on said rod, a tangent screw in said support and having threaded engagement with said clamp for moving said rod in the support when said screw is actuated.
