Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Come on, get happy
There are seven laws that universally apply to happy couples. How many of them apply to your relationship?
1. The Law of Contribution -- Both people in a couple relationship contribute to the relationship, both good and bad. This seems fairly obvious, yet many people like to forget this one and blame their partner for the difficulties in the relationship. Try thinking of it in this way: You are both eating out of the same pot of stew, so it's your choice whether to load it up with good stuff or road kill.
2. The Law of Fun -- Do you want to have a long and happy relationship? Make sure you are having fun together.
3. The Law of the Tithe -- Do the two of you regularly give to a cause greater than yourselves? It makes you grow closer together and sets you up for abundance.
4. The Law of "Couple Friends" -- You must have friends that are couples. Why is this so important? If you have no other friends that are couples, it's extremely easy to lose perspective and become isolated. Couple friends help hold you up during times of trouble, celebrate with you in the good times, and give you great perspective.
5. The Law of Remembering -- This kind of remembering is much more that remembering the date of your anniversary (though that is a good thing to do). It's also great to be regularly reminded of what attracted you to your partner.
6. The Law of Differences -- Of course the two of you see some things differently. Celebrate and learn from those differences. After all, if both of you saw everything in the exact same way, one of you would not be necessary.
7. The Law of the Date -- Do you still date? I mean each other, of course. Regular dates, once a week or on some other regular schedule, is good glue for a happy relationship. And you don't have to do the same old "dinner and a movie" week after week. You can get 300 creative and inexpensive dating ideas when you visit http://GreatDatesDoneCheap.com

Indoor sowing
This is the latest i've ever let it go, but today i finally planted two kinds of petunias, three kinds of impatiens and some bacopa. Then i ran out of seed starting mix. LOL Lots more to go yet!
How many plants do you end up with by the time you're done?
I have lots of seed starting mix, but it appears I used most of the flower seed that would be started about now. I kind of got carried away with how many seeds per milk jug I did when I did my first ever winter sowing.
Tomorrow I'm going to plant 3 different types of tomatoes, and a few marigolds. DH has put up 4 fixtures for me so I better get at it, now that last frost date is hopefully only 9 weeks away.
Is it too soon to start Zinnias? I've never grown them. Also, when various seed packets say to start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, is it better to go closer to 8 or 6 weeks? Does the two week gap make a lot of difference?
I fired up the wood stove in the green house today. Tomorrow I will start taking containers of seedlings out there to be transplanted. Because of the weather I have put off sowing most of my seeds 7 to 10 days behind normal schedule. I have 7 lights going in the plantroom so after tomorrow I can start turning several lights off....Jean
I did half a flat of white petunias and half a flat of red. Most of these will go to the school's front planters - their colours are red and white, and i've done their containers for the past four years. They usually turn out pretty nice. As for the rest, there aren't many of each. I can take cuttings from the impatiens as they grow and have lots of extra plants from them.
Usually i "spring sow" zinnias, outside in April - like winter sowing, but since they're tender, they get protected. It's just easier doing it that way for me because i don't have a lot of space indoors.
Jean, i wish i had a greenhouse! You'll have to really work at keeping it warm, won't you?
I just have a feeling that it's going to be a late year but I really hope I'm wrong about that!
I'm usually thinking about starting to heat the greenhouse around this time, and the lights are generally overflowing with seedlings. But with not doing farmer's market this year, the schedule is much different. I've started Petunias and have 2 seedlings of the double purple Angel's Trumpet, but that's it so far. We're going to Arizona next week, so the rest will have to wait until I get back.
Our long range forecast still doesn't look very good - as a matter of fact another 10 cm of snow is predicted for tomorrow.
Started my first ever from seed tomatoes this morning. Thought I'd use my new bottom watering pots, and duh, was so excited, I didn't even think about there being no dome cover. Lucky I had some saran wrap in the house.
I started Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red Tomato, Old Brooks Tomato, and Sioux Tomato. 3 pots each.
So far I have 4 measly little leeks that have come up. Hmmm. How much will leek soup from them be worth when I've had a 4' fluorescent on 16 hours per day for almost 2 weeks, LOL !
I've winter-sown both and they're easy, so shouldn't be too bad inside. Hope to do more tomorrow - we've been busy with house-type work (as opposed to housework and it shows! LOL) but we're pretty much done with that now, so i can get at some seeding.
Some of my winter sowing was Maltese Cross and Dame's Rocket, but I also thought I'd better try them in the house. Hopefully both methods, or at least one, produce some plants.
It wouldn't really be very funny if I failed at both, LOL !
About the housework..........have you ever heard of the one where you put Get Well cards out, so that if someone comes over unexpectedly when your house is a mess, then you have an excuse ! =:)
LOL I have used that one many times Marcia! Just potted up fifteen huge Begonia bulbs-fighting back the grey weather the best way I can. I have about 18 little tomato seedlings up, mixed bag of short season varieties I couldn't pass up because they looked so pretty! I think my planting fever got ahold of me to much,can't grow tomato's in this part of the country without a greenhouse. Time to put the thinking cap on!
Really difficult to get motivated with the dreary cold and overcast conditions that have so dominated the month of March ... it's going on April and there's still almost 3 ft of snow on the ground and by the sounds of the long range forecast, we're gonna be looking at white for a good while to come.
Had to force myself to start sowing seeds, though now have the peppers, snaps and most of the zinnias in. I normally don't start the zinnias until about April 10 th, though wanted to put out larger more established plants. I grow the Mellagan Series ... these really are excellent plants, though of course are heat lovers and heat isn't always something we receive in the Edmonton area. The Profusions are fantastic, they don't mind cooler temps and bloom freely. Profusion Double Golden is a stand out color, I also love the Double white and this year am trying Double Fire.
Tomatoes are next to start and also need to get the rudbeckias going ... hurry up spring!
All my petunias are up and some other things, but i need to get going today. Got a bale of ProMix this week, so there's no excuse! I also need to get my begonias going. One thing i did do this week is plant some acidanthera bulbs. There were 25 in the package, so i still have more to go, but at least a few will get a head start!
About a month ago I had the blandest store-bought salad ever, so out of frustration I planted a dishpan of various greens (lettuce, green onions, cress, arugula) and will be having a baby salad tonight, and thinning them out a bit. I think every single seed sprouted.
I've got 36 pots of tomatoes started... The bunch I planted just over 2 weeks ago are starting to show tiny "real" leaves, and the second bunch from last weekend are just starting to poke out now. I don't really need or want THAT many tomatoes, but I'll be sharing them with DD (who moved out in the fall and is planning her first garden of her own this year) and another friend. Plus (and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this problem) I had an aging half packet of "mixed" heritage tomato seeds that had been given to me. There are 2 varieties out of the 5 or 6 in there that I really would like to start growing. Being biologically unable to do things the easy way, I'm hoping to get at least one plant of each of those varieties out of the 18. I can dream, right? ;)
I've also planted my peppers, okra (never tried growing that, it'll be an adventure) and various herbs.
Next weekend I'll start the next volley... that should hold me until I can start playing in real dirt! Very few of my flowers need to be started early... most of the ones I love are self-seeding and I just have to weed out the ones I DON'T want.
Hopefully the grapes I planted last spring made it through the winter. It's not like 27923723475 feet of snow isn't a good insulator, but it might have crushed the life out of them by now.
LOL @ the "27923723475 feet of snow"! Don't we all understand!
Got everything done today that i wanted to - all the stuff that should be started 8-10 weeks before last frost. The way things are going this year, it could be July long weekend. Sigh...
I started some lettuce seeds too, but what a good idea to have a pan full like that! I don't have onion seeds - is that what you used? I doubt if onion sets will be out for awhile. What about radishes? Can they be grown indoors?
** Announcement **
I am pleased to announce the birth of my first born, Andrew Rahart, who popped into this world at approximately 10:00 a.m. this morning. I am also pleased to announce the birth of his brothers, Sioux and Brooks, arriving early this evening.
I would like to thank all the members of GardenWeb, including those on the tomato forum, for helping to make this occasion happen. I couldn't be more pleased =:)
Now that these five little babies have arrived, I have a question please. I've put them downstairs under the lights, but the timer will turn the lights off at 10:00 p.m. which only gives them almost 3 hours of bright light. Should I leave them down there where it's going to get fairly cool, or bring them back up to the "nursery" in the bathroom where it'll be toasty warm with the door closed until morning?
I'm pumped now. Tomorrow I just have to plant more seeds =:)
Congrats on your babies! Is it just for this evening that they'd have the 3 hours of light? I'd leave them under the lights, not bother moving them back and forth.
That's what i forgot - i have a few tomato seeds left from last year and was going to plant them. Will do it another day, i guess.
Yes, it'll just be for tonight that they get only 3 hours.
The timer will turn the lights back on at 6:00 a.m. for 16 hours.
Tomorrow I think it's time to plant some lettuce and arugula. Mamahoohoo has made me hungry for fresh greens.
Marcia about the radishes. I just recently read on the Growing from Seed forum, someone suggest a teacher have the class plant radishes indoors. What the heck? Give it a try and let us know =:)
Oops ! I just got 18 packets of seeds in the mail. Funny how most of them say plant 8 weeks before last frost. Hmmm. That better be now ! No more winter weather!
Today and tomorrow I'll be planting......Dianthus, Primula, more Dianthus, Marigolds, Parsley, Johnny Jump Ups, Arugula, Milkweed, Delphinium, Lettuce, more Lettuce, Spinach, more Lettuce.
If anyone thinks I'm on the wrong track here, please feel free to let me know. I think I've fallen into some type of semi-conscious state or something, and all I can think of is plants, plants, and more plants ! Where on earth am I going to put them all?
Would now be a good time to confess that I only have 2 4x4 vegetable garden spots? Goodbye lawn, hello potager =:)
Yeah, the onions were from seed. They were still too small to make any difference in flavour, but they sure are adorable when they look like green cat whiskers sticking straight up! :)
The salad itself was deeelicious! Small, but so much better than the bags of half rotten stuff that travelled from who-knows where. :)
NAF you make me laugh. As I have said in many a post, every year I get rid of more grass. What's the point, why have grass when you can have flowers and veg. I turned my traditional veg garden into raised beds and a semi potager several years ago and I love it. very little weeding and it is so nice to wander through the beds and not come out muddy.
Planted sweet peas this weekend in newspaper pots. A new experiment. We will see how that works out.
Still need to do lavetera, lettuce plugs and maybe nasturtiums.
O.K. Outside it's trying to snow!
I just planted the following. I'm wondering if the Dianthus and Johnny Jump Ups needed stratification or not. Eek!
Strawberry Super Parfait Dianthus
Raspberry Super Parfait Dianthus
Helen Mound Johnny Jump-Ups
Oklahoma Blend Zinnia
Magellan Sunburst Zinnia
Italian Parsley
Do I have a clue what I'm doing? Maybe. Maybe not.
I had no problem germinating perennial dianthus seeds without any stratification. The kinds I did were 'Arctic Fire" and "Sooty Sweet William".
Not sure about Johnny Jump Ups but I imagine they'd be like pansies, which don't need a stratification period.
I finally got all my "early" stuff planted, scared of the thought of November asters. I did tomatoes, 2 kinds of asters, annual phlox, oregano, purple salvia, hollyhocks (mainly to test seed viability, it's old), and cuphea ignea. I'm keeping it simple this year, I don't need to be running 12 light strips anymore.
NAF I started lots of annual inside this year, I did the asters and will do the lavatera and zinnias cause I'm sooooooooo tired of getting blooms for a week and then having them die due to frost. I'm about 20 minutes to the mountains so nights are cold and for the last two years we really have not had any real summer heat.
I will have to dig around for some photos of my semi potager. If I can't find any I will be sure to take lots this summer. C
I did up my hanging baskets the other day while I still have room to sit them on the potting benches. Soon enough I will have to hang them and climb a stepping stool to water so I will enjoy this while it lasts.I am transplanting more then sowing now..progress! Friends ask me if I am doing as many plants every year as the previous year..of course! I wont have an inch of spare space in the green house by the time I am done, sometimes I have to get really creative to find that space...lol..Jean

This application is a divisional of, claims priority to and incorporates by reference in its entirety, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/842,436 for CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTION, filed May 11, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,314,597 by Haupt et al.
The U.S. Government may have certain rights in the disclosed invention as provided for by the terms of contract N41756-00-C-0911 awarded by the U.S. Government Combating Terrorism Technology Support Office, Technical Support Working Group.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to methods and systems for the detection of chemical agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of multiple types of chemical agent detectors having overlapping performance.
2. Description of Related Art
Sensors capable of detecting the presence of chemical agents and quantifying the amount of agent present are known. These sensors can be grouped into at least two types, e.g., analytical and phenomenological. Typically, an analytical sensor, such as a mass spectrometer, directly measures some characteristic of the environment, e.g., the mass and relative concenration of atoms or molecules. While capable of high accuracy and low false alarm rate, analytical sensors are typically expensive, cumbersome, and slow—requiring significant preparation and calibration activity.
Phenomenological sensors can be characterized as detecting an event which points to the presence of a chemical agent; e.g., a change in the resistance of a semiconductor that has been coated with a substance responsive to one or more specific chemical agents. Typical phenomenological sensors consist of an array of elements that can be trained to recognize patterns of phenomena. Existing sensors that can be characterized as phenomenological include Ion Mobility (IM) cells, chemo-resistive sensors, metal-oxide sensors, and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices. Some sensors of these types are capable of detecting several types of chemical agents, are relatively small (especially in comparison to analytical sensors), and potentially inexpensive in large quantities. However, these sensors have not displayed a false alarm rate required by many applications.
While sensor systems exist that combine more than one detection technology, the sensors in such existing systems have distinct, non-overlapping, capabilities. For example, the Hazmat CAD (Chemical Agent Detector) from Microsensor Systems, Inc. of Bowling Green Kentucky uses both a SAW and an electrochemical sensor. The two sensors have distinct capabilities. The electrochemical sensor only provides detection of hydrogen cyanide (HCN); it does not provide detection capability overlapping with the SAW.
Typical multi-sensor systems have not satisfactorily addressed issues related to airflow in devices comprising more than one sensor type—especially where different sensor types have different cycle times and flow requirements. Further, typical sensor systems are susceptible to contamination, aspiration of water, adsorption of volatiles that may later be out-gassed, and the uptake of potentially abrasive solid particles such as dirt, dust, or sand.
In preferred embodiments, the invention includes a chemical agent detector with a a lesser demand sensor, a greater demand sensor, an inlet; and a manifold. The manifold is positioned between the inlet and the sensors, and includes a first intake associated with the lesser demand sensor, a second intake associated with a greater demand sensor, and at least one restrictor. The first intake is placed closer to the inlet than the second intake, and the second intake is isolated from the inlet by at least one restrictor within the manifold. In some embodiments, the intakes and restrictor are sized and positioned such that the ratio between: the conductance of the path from the inlet to the greater demand sensor to the conductance of the path between the sensors is greater than one—thereby effectively isolating the lesser demand sensor from the effects of the greater demand sensor. Depending on the specific sensors' duty cycle and volumetric requirements, the ratio can be substantially greater than one. For a preferred embodiment, a nominal value of 50 is effective.
In other embodiments, the invention includes a chemical agent detector comprising at least two sensors, a processor system, and a computer program product resident in memory. At least two of the sensors have overlapping effectiveness and provide both processed sensor data and raw sensor data. The senors are incommunication with the processor system. The computer program product is executable on the processor system and includes an agent class identification routine operable to determine the class of agent present based at least in part on the processed sensor data. In some embodiments, the processed sensor data comprises the alarm state of a plurality of sensors, and the detector determines the class of agent present at least in part by comparing the combined alarm state to a table of agent classification results. In further embodiments, the table of agent classification results is derived at least in part through elimination of false alarm modes as an influence on agent classification.
Some embodiments include a method for mitigating desensitization of the first sensor where the first sensor is operative to adjust its baseline to compensate for changes in ambient levels of a chemical agent and at least one second sensor not operative to so compensate. Where the first sensor has at least once adjusted its baseline, and where the second sensor indicates the presence of a chemical agent from among chemical agents common to the capabilities of both sensors and the first sensor does not indicate the presence of the chemical agent, the method includes adjusting the first sensor to a prior baseline and retaining the adjusted baseline if the first sensor alarms with the adjusted baseline.
As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein. However, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention that may be embodied in various and alternative forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale, and some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.
Preferred embodiments of the invention include a chemical agent detection system using multiple sensors having overlapping performance, a tiered data fusion approach, a manifold configured to mitigate airflow problems presented by using multiple sensors having differing airflow requirements, and an inlet/outlet arrangement configured to mitigate the chance of contamination, aspiration, absorption/outgassing, abrasion, and the memory effect associated with operating multiple sensors having potentially different airflow requirements. Sensors mounted in a chassis draw an air sample through an inlet and a manifold, and then exhaust the air through an outlet. PFA Teflon™ fittings are provided to allow the system top to be attached to a variety of vapor generators.
Referring to
The chassis 116 is sized to be hand-held and in some embodiments is protected from electromagnetic interference by use of a conductive coating such as Electrodag 550® (available from, e.g., Acheson Colloids Company, Port Huron Mich.) or an aluminum case. For multipart chassis, o-rings are used to seal. A battery compartment is contained within the chassis and in preferred embodiments is sized to accept batteries such as AL 123, CR 123. Such batteries, or their equivalents, are selected to last over nine hours operating at room temperature. In preferred embodiments, the display is one such as the backlit, polycarbonate-protected Hitachi Ľ VGA display. A processor card similar to those used in personal digital assistants (PDAs) is used in preferred embodiments. For example, some embodiments use the SA 1110 chip set from InHand Electronics, Rockville Maryland. This is a Microsoft Windows CE-based computer system. A speaker is provided in preferred embodiments for, inter alia, audio alarms.
Embodiments of the present invention use a plurality of sensor types that at least in part provide overlapping areas of effectiveness. In addition to overlapping areas of effectiveness among sensor types, embodiments of the current invention use a tiered approach to data fusion that taps the synergy available in using more than one sensor technology. In preferred embodiments, the use of off-the-shelf sensors provides one tier—each sensor comes with detection routines of its own. These sensors provide both alarms (used to support one tier) and separately, raw data used as input to a second tier of data fusion. By using the vendor-supplied routines as a first tier, embodiments of the invention can leverage competitive advances in the underlying sensor technology. Preferred embodiments of the present invention, including the exemplary embodiment described herein, employ a SAW detector, e.g., HazmatCAD from Microsensor Systems, Inc., Bowling Green Kentucky, and an IM cell sensor, e.g., ChemPRO from Environics Oy, Mikkeli, Finland. Both sensors provide a processed response, e.g., alarms, and raw data. Other combinations of sensor technologies, e.g., chemoresistive and IMS for toxic industrial chemicals, can be combined in the fashion of this invention for both chemical agent detection, and detection of other substances, e.g., us of combined SAW/IMS to detect explosives. Such combinations are contemplated within the scope of the claims.
The SAW assembly includes four (4) surface acoustic wave sensors, each on a separate quartz chip. One chip is a reference; the other three are coated with polymers responsive to particular agents. Chemical sensing is achieved by noting frequency shifts as the polymer film absorbs the analyte. In addition, the SAW assembly includes an E-Chem Cell that separately is used to detect HCN. The IM Cell is typically more effective than SAW sensors on low molecular weight substances. The IM Cell includes a 16-channel IM Sensor Array and separate SemiConducting Cell (SCC) to detect blister agents.
Interferents such as household cleaning agents, fuels, an other items commonly found in the home, office, and garage are typical sources of false alarms in chemical agent detection systems. Other interferents include volatile organic compounds, organic acids, and toxic industrial materials found in many commercial settings. A SAW-SCCell/IMCell Multi-sensor embodiment of the present invention was exposed to headspace concentrations of agents such as these in a series of tests. In these tests, a vial containing approximately one to three milliliters of interferent was placed directly under the inlet of the system and the sensors were allowed to sample the headspace of the container for 40 seconds.
Of the 151 interferents examined, either the individual SAW or SCCell/IMCell displayed a strong response to 26 of the interferents and provide five false alarms. The false alarm rate after fusing data from the sensors in accordance with the present invention was one false alarm. Thus, the use of multiple sensors and data fusion in accordance with the present invention was shown to reduce false alarm rate by 75%. Results in field trials indicate that false alarms were reduced from a daily event to a once-a-year event.
Referring to
Air passage surfaces are constructed of Teflon, Teflon-coated, or nickel-plated to mitigate adherence of volatiles. This combination of materials allows the use of Teflon (the preferred non-absorbing material but uncontrollable to accurate thickness) in most areas but provides for closely fitting moving mechanical parts such as the screw thread in the airway by the use of nickel plating (an acceptable non-absorbing material controllable to tight tolerances).
In preferred embodiments, a manifold supplies multiple sensors with air from one inlet source. The manifold balances the flow and volumetric demands of multiple sensors so that the higher demand is prevented from effectively diminishing the lower demand. In one fashion, this is accomplished by the design of obstructions/restrictions, cavities, and the placement of some sensor's connections away from the source. In preferred embodiments, a design process of placing the intake for the lower demand sensor in a cavity generally under the inlet and the higher demand sensor behind a restriction, calculating conductance based on the size/location of location and size of each element, and then varying the size to achieve a favorable ratio of path conductances is used.
Specifically, for a dual sensor system, the flow delivery is balanced by placing the intake of the lesser-demand sensor closer to the main inlet in proportion to the airway area, and conversely isolating the higher demand sensor by restrictors from the main inlet. The conductance of the manifold inlet and the gas path to the individual sensors is designed such that the calculated conductance of inlet to the high flow sensors is significantly larger than the conductance path between the individual sensors. In embodiment employing the Hazmat SAW and ChemPro IMCell sensors, a factor of 50 is preferred. Note that in preferred embodiments, the basic geometric relationships remain. Conductances are calculated based on the size and placement of at least the restriction to control the ratio of (conductance of the inlet to high flow sensor/conductance of the path between sensors) is greater than one, with the specific ratio of 50 being preferred for a SAW/IM Cell combination. The ratio can be determined empirically or by modeling.
Referring to
In preferred embodiments, a data fusion method evaluates alarms generated by the sensors to determine the class of agent(s) present (first tier); then (second tier) uses raw data from the sensors to identify the specific agent within the class, quantify the identified agent, and track dosage over time. Referring to
Embodiments of the present invention do not initially monitor the raw data from sensors to classify the type of agent detected. Instead, the alarm status of the individual sensors is monitored by an agent classification routine 410. Once an alarm occurs, the system collects other concurrent alarms and resolves the class of agent present based on a combination of the alarms. The approach can be illustrated for two sensor types using the matrix of
Use of the data fusion process can improve the detection range of the instrument. During live agent tests the system was challenged with a number of agents at different concentrations and humidity ranges as shown in Table 1 below.
During these tests, the average overall alarm detection range for the individual sensors covered only 74.1% of the above conditions. However, using the data fusion process the fused system detection range extended over 96.4% of the above conditions. Data fusion provides significantly improved results over a greater range of operation.
Once the alarms are assessed in the first tier of data fusion, a second tier algorithm using raw data from the sensors is employed to determine the specific agent present 420 and the amount of the agent 430. The classification determined in the first tier allows specific evaluation and quantification methods to be applied more efficiently than if the classification were unknown. Some embodiments employ weighting factors among sensors based on the confidence of agent class and specific agent data. Preferred embodiments use known chemometric techniques for evaluating raw data from sensors. Typical sensors employed in preferred embodiments of the invention have a finite dynamic range over which the sensor operates in a fashion useful to measuring concentrations 430.
Some embodiments of the invention use sensors employing dynamic baseline correction. In preferred embodiments, one or more sensors with static baseline correction can be used to improve others with dynamic baseline correction. In certain forms of dynamic baseline correction, a sensor adjusts its baseline as a function of the ambient steady state value of chemical agent present. While this is advantageous in some circumstances, where the dynamic sensor is exposed to a slow continuous stream of agent below the detection limit this baselining mechanism could eliminate the accumulation of agents, e.g., desensitize the sensor and thereby the desensitize the system. This would cause false negative alarm rates to increase. By providing a feedback mechanism using the static baseline sensor alarms, the dynamic sensors' false negative alarm rate can be improved. When the static sensor alarms, the feedback mechanism triggers the dynamic sensor to reevaluate its alarm status by using clean environment baseline.
In preferred embodiments, a manifold supplies multiple sensors with air from one inlet source. The manifold balances the flow and volumetric demands of multiple sensors so that the higher demand is prevented from effectively diminishing the lower demand. In one fashion, this is accomplished by the design of obstructions, cavities, and the placement of some sensor's connections away from the source.
It should be recognized that various preferred embodiments and characteristics thereof that have been described are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Numerous modifications and adaptations thereof will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Great quality. Got this for a backup for child company.Read More
You might not think that 1 inch would make a lot of difference - but it does! Very happy with purchase.Read More
best thing you could ever get
My mattress is firm and was killing my back- hubby can only sleep on firm. Using this has been a life saver-- its difficult to get out of bed so comfortable feels like you are sleeping on a cloud-- funny he likes it too!Read More
What a difference!
I had a 4" mattress topper that hurt my back. This 1 inch topper was just enough, to soften the firm mattress we have. I'm sleeping soundly again, without pain.Read More
So much better than a thicker topper!
My boyfriend has a really heavy, expensive 2" version of this product and I hate sleeping at his house because of it. You sink so far into the thing that if you turn during the night you will wake up with major back pain. This one however, gives you the comfort of a memory foam mattress but with the firmness of your own mattress. I have already talk one of my friends into buys the same thing and she loves it too.Read More
Lakehouse Comfort
I bought these foam toppers for our lakehouse beds, because they were so hard and uncomfortable. Our first weekend with guests at the lake, found us waiting and waiting for everyone to get up and get out of bed. Everyone, finally woke up, and said it was the best and most comfortable nights rest they had, had in along time. My sister-in-law is getting ready to order some for herself. The only drawback is they are missing the best part of the day at the lake - birds singing, fish jumping, sunrise, laughing out loud! Thank You, Overstock.com, maybe they should package these things with a crowbar so I have something to pry everyone out of bed with. They truly were a success!!Read More
Best night's sleep EVER!
I am not prone to bragging about items I purchase but I feel like I hit the lottery this time. I have severe fibro myalgia and haven't had a good nights sleep for at least 10 years because of the pain. I received the memory foam on Saturday and put it on my bed that night. I haven't slept that well or that deeply in over a decade. And I was asleep within 5 minutes of crawling into bed. I was also in the same position when I woke up! Not only do I love it but my little 10 lb. dog loves it. She also lays down and doesn't jump on and off the bed all night. So if you don't have memory foam then get this and also get one for every single person you love on the planet! This year guess what everyone is getting for Christmas?Read More
great deal
I really love this product! I didn't want to spend a fortune, but I feel like the quality is that of a much more expensive pad. The one inch thickness is all I need to provide lots of cushion. If it was any thicker, I don't think it would provide a good supportive surface. It's fantastic!Read More
Good covering for an air mattress
One-inch memory foam provides good protection on an air mattress, which is what I ordered this for. It gives the sleeper a bit of extra cush, and keeps them from feeling cold, as some air mattresses can do. It also provides a little extra protection on top from animal claws. One-inch is easy to roll up and store away with a large rubber band, and unrolls easily when needed.

How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats.

However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.

Best Mattresses for Every Sleeping Position
A mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make because you spend hours each day sleeping and rejuvenating for the next day. While shopping for a new mattress, keep in mind the typical sleeping positions you have to ensure you will find the right mattress to help with bone or joint alignment. Below, you'll learn the best mattresses for every sleeping position. Sleeping on your back: If you primarily sleep on your back, you need to find a mattress with support to prevent pain in the lower back. Sleeping on a mattress that does not have enough support causes muscle strain in the back and increases the chance you will assume a poor posture during sleep, leaving you achy in the morning. The best mattresses for this sleeping position have at least 400 to 800 14-gauge coils. Innerspring mattresses feature firm coils to support the back yet still mold to the curvature of the spine. Mattresses with box springs are ideal for those who sleep on their backs because they stabilize weight, offering back support and increasing the life of the bedding. Sleeping on your stomach: While sleeping on your stomach is comfortable, it also increases pressure and strain on parts of the body like the neck or back. Soft mattresses are the best for those who sleep on their stomachs. Look for mattresses that have 300 to 400 14-gauge coils, which will ensure the mattress is soft and comfortable. If you must use a pillow, look into buying a memory foam style, which molds to the head and neck to stabilize them during sleep. Sleeping on your side: Side sleeping is one of the most common positions on a mattress, and it may also be one of the hardest positions to shop for. Since you lay on your side, there is pressure on the shoulders and hips, which could make a firm mattress uncomfortable for sleeping. A mattress that is too soft is often not supportive enough to keep the spine in proper alignment. The ideal mattress for this position is one that has supportive coils, with a memory foam topper to provide comfort to the joints of the body.

These products -- pillows, mattress toppers, and mattresses -- provide comfort and support to help with several sleep-related problems.

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered new genetic evidence about why some people are happier than others.
McMaster scientists have uncovered evidence that the gene FTO – the major genetic contributor to obesity – is associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. In other words, it's not just an obesity gene but a "happy gene" as well.
The research appears in a study published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The paper was produced by senior author David Meyre, associate professor in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine and a Canada Research Chair in genetic epidemiology; first author Dr. Zena Samaan, assistant professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, and members of the Population Health Research Institute of McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences.
"The difference of eight per cent is modest and it won't make a big difference in the day-to-day care of patients," Meyre said. "But, we have discovered a novel molecular basis for depression."
In the past, family studies on twins, and brothers and sisters, have shown a 40 per cent genetic component in depression. However, scientific studies attempting to associate genes with depression have been "surprisingly unsuccessful" and produced no convincing evidence so far, Samaan said.
The McMaster discovery challenges the common perception of a reciprocal link between depression and obesity: That obese people become depressed because of their appearance and social and economic discrimination; depressed individuals may lead less active lifestyles and change eating habits to cope with depression that causes them to become obese.
"We set out to follow a different path, starting from the hypothesis that both depression and obesity deal with brain activity. We hypothesized that obesity genes may be linked to depression," Meyre said.
The McMaster researchers investigated the genetic and psychiatric status of patients enrolled in the EpiDREAM study led by the Population Health Research Institute, which analyzed 17,200 DNA samples from participants in 21 countries.
In these patients, they found the previously identified obesity predisposing genetic variant in FTO was associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. They confirmed this finding by analyzing the genetic status of patients in three additional large international studies.
Meyre said the fact the obesity gene's same protective trend on depression was found in four different studies supports their conclusion. It is the "first evidence" that an FTO obesity gene is associated with protection against major depression, independent of its effect on body mass index, he said.
This is an important discovery as depression is a common disease that affects up to one in five Canadians, said Samaan.

text: In a quick overview of Jews in Britain Tablet magazine harangues the left for pushing policies against the existence of Israel. In fact, Labour is true to the Balfour declaration (see post) which specified that 'nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious' rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country'. Those who appeal to the Balfour declaration appear not to have read it. To criticise the idealised Israel is not to wish for its extermination. Obviously.

I just had an idea; what if the Hextech Sweeper/Grez's Spectral Lantern active effect was available on a consumable item?
How much would it cost? 25g? 35g?
Would it need an internal cooldown?
Would it make it too easy to counter stealth champions?
Would you buy it in an average game?
Instead of Oracle's and not dying for a couple champs to shut one of them down for a long time? It'd be very niche unless it was extremely cost-effective for the very temporary benefit, opposed to the potentially extremely high benefit of Elixir.
So basically you offer Dust from DoTA. I believe it works alot better for them because they have more invis heroes...Well instead of ones that only last for about 5 seconds like ours. Their invis usually gives them movement speed as well so they can escape so this dust would have to be a debuff of sorts. Im going to say no to this in LoL though simply because...well..,invis isn't a problem at all. I haven't played in a bit but what is the longest invis? 10 seconds? I believe that's Renger with head of Kha'Zix and his ult. The invis are usually for a few seconds and one like Shaco's blink are used to go over walls mostly. The only champ I think this would fully counter is Akali in her shroud. Not sure about its use in LoL, nor do I think it will matter much. Just make sure it doesn't work on wards and I wouldn't care.

Saving/harvesting Yarrow Seeds (and catmint)
I have some brown flower heads and have them saved... I am not sure what the seeds look like. Any ideas how to harvest the seeds correctly?
Also can I harvest any seeds from my catmint or pincushion flower?
I am a newbie when it comes to seed harvesting...
Here is a link below that may be useful for the Yarrow. It's a post listed here on the GW forums. I have two plants of yarrow. A yellow and a red (which I believe it was labeled cinnamon. Trying also to see if I can save the seeds.
If you do a search, you may find cat mint as well (which I have also have) and at this point I don't need seeds as they are sprouting up all over the garden by themselves. Good luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: Yarrow
Your pincusion flower heads will lose the flower petals and the center part will dry out and turn brown. You should be able to gently rub the flower head and the seeds should come right off into a container or envelope. They will be cone shaped and have little "whiskers" coming out of the them.
I'm new to seed collecting this year too. I know it's hard, but try not to let it overwhelm you. You'll feel more and more comfortable about it as time goes by!

Replanting after RRD
I dug out two RRD infected rose shrubs in July, digging deep and wide to get out all the roots. They were huge shrubs, 5X5, at least. I did not remove all the soil because that would have been more than I could handle. Is there anyway to sterilize the soil so that I can replant this year? They were centerpiece plants and I miss them so much.
I don't think you need to worry about the soil. That is not how RRD is passed on. Instead, it is transmitted by a tiny mite blown in the wind which, by chance, deposits it on your shrub--purely a chance event as far as we know. In the US, there is no "replant disease" as such.
As long as you did such a thorough job digging up the roots, you should be fine--unless more mites get blown into your yard because neighbors have infected plants or you are near the outskirts of town so that the wind blows in mites from infected wild roses.
At least, that is how I have understood it.
My sympathies--I had 2 cases of RRD earlier this summer. One of the roses I lost was an old established climber--that really hurt!
Thanks, Kate and michaelg. One interesting note. The two big shrubs I had planted five years ago with great care, all the soil ammendments, wide hole, etc. I also lost a lovely Lowes shrub that I had just dumped in a small hole. It thrived and bloomed also. The two I had planted with care had relatively shallow roots, the soil still loose and friable after five years. The one I planted on a day I was tired, had huge deep roots and went down so far I couldn't get them all out. The soil was still pretty much clay. All three shrubs were healthy and beautiful until RRD.
I had to take out my huge 'Autumn Sunset' climber yesterday that was absolutely covered in RRD. I suspect the mites blew in on the rain and wind that came with Hurricane Issac. It is amazing how quickly a rose can get infected and show those classic witches brooms.
I've tried to grow climbers across this huge pergola twice now and each time I've had to take them out due to RRD. What this tells me is that this pergola is in a prime location for dropping the mites, so I'm going to plant clematis.
Lainey, I know how you feel when you have to take out part of your beautiful garden. I feel like at some point I'm going to be losing all my roses to RRD and putting in shrubs and conifers.
