There is an old maxim: "Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it..." Oversight by the US Commerce Dept whether with George Bush or Barack Obama is pretty benign. I'll take that over one influenced by the likes of Iran, China and Russia.

There is an old maxim: "Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it..." Oversight by the US Commerce Dept whether with George Bush or Barack Obama is pretty benign. I'll take that over one influenced by the likes of Iran, China and Russia.
The Marco Civil allows the Brazilian government to remove any contentious material it doesn't like without the necessity of going through the courts first. The timing before the NetMundial Conference isn't significant, it's the timing before the 2014 World Cup that is interesting - just in time to quell any dissenting online voices that might be planning to stage anti-government protests...
Internet governance is the "Great Game" of the 21st century with the United States taking on the role of Great Britain, Russia & China reprising and adding to the role of Russia and starring the Internet as the jewel in the crown, populated by a vast array of actors speaking different languages to different issues. As such, Netmundial is an unremarkable conference as the US works to maintain the status quo by persuading old allies and potential new ones that it's motives are selfless when in fact they advance US policy. If anything it demonstrates the vast disparity in diplomatic expertise between states and non-state actors, a chasm that will need to be bridged if the feuding Mughals of the Internet ever hope to unite and throw off the yoke of their oppressors to pursue their own interests.
So in your view, The U.S. who created a free Internet is the problem.
In your view, The Great Fire Wall of China, and the various Autocrat and meddlesome
governments are the solution?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Brazil has as much influence in Internet Protocol as Britain has in the size of women's thong bikinis.
We must stick to our own areas of expertise. 8 )>
The U.S. has made a grave mistake here by allowing Brazil's nefarious vision to come true.
(1)Brazil's partners in the Internet ruling are Autocrats and Human Rights violators.
The link was from four years ago before Snowden, etc. It shows Brazil meddlesome hand clearly.
(2)Brazil has pushed Google to delete Favela's locations from Google Maps. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-13193503
In allowing Brazil to have its way, the U.S. has stifled future generations of Americans
on the Internet. It is the same kind of mistake that the U.S. did in the past by
allowing Hsue Shen Tsien to return to China. At the time, it did not appear to be a major
f**k-up by the U.S. Government. However, Hsue Shen Tsien went on to be the father of
the PRC Space and Nuclear programs. The U.S. has done the same by allowing Brazil,
a despicable and nefarious nation, to have a say on the Internet.

boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/4 inch thick

Chicken and rice inside chicken were exceptional. Meat and rice moist and tasty. Rice with spinach was a bit too spinachy, but maybe that's just my taste. A lot of work, but I might do it to impress some friends one night.

Therefore, for these models, please choose either the vinyl camo or a two-tone seat cover set in black vinyl with camo. This combination can be made for all makes and models. Below are the camo covers on a Club Car Precedent. Please note, this cart has matching rear seat covers, back arm rests and a camo top cover. For the Precedent or Drive, you would choose the black with camo as offered below so that the black vinyl is the in the center.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
In his speech at the 2014 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Jewish-American actress Scarlett Johansson for her decision to continue representing Israeli carbonated beverage company SodaStream, which is located across the Green line and employs hundreds of Palestinians.
Johansson stepped down as a global ambassador for the human rights group Oxfam International, which had criticized her for serving as pitch woman for SodaStream.
"Everyone should know what the letters B-D-S really stand for: bigotry, dishonesty, and shame. And those who oppose BDS, like Scarlett Johansson, they should be applauded," Netanyahu said. Channeling the 1939 movie "Gone with the Wind," the prime minister said, "Scarlett, I have one thing to say to you: Frankly, my dear, I DO give a damn."
Also on Tuesday, Hollywood sources reported that Johansson is expecting her first child with her fiancé, Romain Dauriac.

E-Verify bill for immigrant workers stalls
$65 million factory expansion for a large Indiana corn buyer
Beef groups ready to lobby Congress for higher checkoff
Measure seeks to clarify pesticide use regulations
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — An economist with the Illinois Farm Bureau (ILFB) said that though natural gas prices are lower than last year, fertilizer prices will remain high throughout 2006 with the cost of anhydrous ammonia expected to rise by an estimated 30 percent.
"High natural gas prices, which ultimately account for 70-80 percent of nitrogen prices, are forcing U.S. nitrogen manufacturers to cut back on production, leading to more imports which is increasing global demand in a tight supply situation," said Mike Doherty, senior economist and policy analyst for the ILFB.
"Natural gas prices, on the other hand, have declined from their $13 per million BTU average in 2005 $9 per million BTUs (futures were down to $7.74 MBTUs on Feb. 8). Despite the falling natural gas prices, fertilizer prices are expected to remain high throughout 2006."
Doherty projected that anhydrous should cost $530-$700 per ton this year, an increase of at least 30 percent on 2005's average price. Urea will cost between $400-$420 per ton, and potash prices will range from $300-$315.
Based on fertilizer costs for central Illinois corn averaging $55 per acre in 2002, Doherty projects a per-acre cost of $79 for 2006. He also said supply could be an issue for farmers this year.
"Doane Ag Services recently stated 'a pretty tight situation for anhydrous ammonia' … some areas may not get all the fertilizer they want," Doherty said in an ILFB news release.
As for prices for diesel fuel, the forecasted average price is $2.55 per gallon, with the largest volatility factor being the current uncertainty regarding the situation in Iran.
"Current prices at around $2.50 per gallon are expected to remain in place throughout 2006," Doherty said. "Stated differently, most of the industry's economists believe current prices are the floor price for this year. Currently, retail diesel prices are 24 cents per gallon above regular unleaded gasoline while one year ago, retail prices were 17 cents per gallon above regular unleaded gasoline."
A representative from Sun Ag, Inc., a dealership located on Route 251 south of El Paso, Ill. in Woodford County, said fertilizer prices have not yet reached a level 30 percent above last year's costs.
"We're not up 30 percent yet, but it could go that way depending on the natural gas situation," said Sun Ag Sales Manager Eric Wahls. "The market is currently kind of volatile."
Wahls said that one way area farmers could save money on fertilizer costs would be to adopt a no-till policy.
"I haven't heard of anyone who has decided to go no-till, though some guys are thinking about it. I don't know if any guys in this area are willing to go to no-till, though," said Wahls.
Wahls said trucking expenses and higher diesel fuel prices could cause the dealership to raise its prices for fertilizer this year.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to laser transmitters and more particularly concerns a laser transmitter that provides improved modulation of the transmitted beam. The invention is useful in laser transmitters used for communication or in those used as radars.
2. Description of Related Art
Frequency modulation of a laser is employed in several types of radars, such as FM chirp lasers, for example, and is also employed for communication. Various arrangements have been employed for frequency modulation, including the use of a piezoelectric transducer mounting one of the cavity reflectors and energized with a frequency modulating signal. The piezoelectric transducer, however, is expensive and consumes a large amount of power. Further, most piezoelectric tranducers have resonant frequencies, in the 1-20 kHz range, that limit useful maximum frequency and may cause instabilities in optical alignment.
Another form of frequency modulation, one employed for a frequency chirp laser radar, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,295 to Duvall et al for Linear FM Chirp Laser and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,206 to Halmos et al for Chirp Laser Stabilization System, both assigned to the assignee of the present application. In the system described in the Duvall et al patent, an electro-optic modulator crystal is mounted inside the laser cavity and subjected to a high voltage modulating signal which produces rapid switching of laser output frequency. The intra-cavity electro-optic modulator employed for frequency control in this system introduces large cavity losses, and thus reduces laser power by over fifty percent. Moreover, frequency control of the arrangements of both patents is very costly, accounting for as much as one-third of the cost of a laser radar transmitter.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,758 refers to a method for implementing phase or AM laser radar in Q-switched laser radar. The standard CW (continuous wave) AM laser radar suffers from range ambiguity. It ranges off the incremental phase difference between the reflected and transmitted beams. It measures all phase difference as being between 0� and 360� C. and cannot distinguish between a target within one AM wavelength from the sensor and a second target, an integral number of AM wavelengths farther away. By comparison, a Q-switched radar can measure the absolute range, but the long (200 ns) pulse limits the range accuracy. U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,758 combines the two techniques, using AM modulation to produce a sharp edge in the center of the Q-switched pulse. The sharp edge can be tracked to the same sort of accuracy as the AM System.
Applicant's system does not require the added complexity of a Q-switched operation and, unlike the device of U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,758, will operate CW. Practical Q-switched operation requires either the same electro-optic modulator used for standard pulsed laser radar (see for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,498,179) or a complicated pressure regulating circuit that the U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,758 does not mention in its passive Q-switched approach.
Acousto-optic devices have been used for frequency modulation, but this scheme too is costly and inefficient. Depending on the acousto-optic drive, efficiency may be less than ten percent at CO2 wavelengths.
For a laser radar system, a pair of lasers in the transmitter is employed, utilizing one laser as a local oscillator with precise frequency control and a second transmitter laser with some means for effecting amplitude or frequency modulation. Where an electro-optic modulation crystal is employed, the transmitter is very costly, because the laser must operate at a carefully controlled carrier frequency to allow heterodyne detection of the received reflected signal. In the acousto-optic format to provide Doppler velocity in radar application, the carefully controlled carrier frequency is also necessary. This precise control of frequency requires an expensive frequency control unit, generally consisting of a piezoelectric crystal, an optical power sensor, and an electronic servo with a high voltage output. The electro-optic and acousto-optic devices an associated electronics are also expensive. The low efficiency modulation of these arrangements often results in unacceptably high power consumption.
Where a laser is used as a transmitter of a communication system, electro-optic frequency modulation of a carbon dioxide CO2 laser may be employed in the transmitter laser to generate the signal. In the receiver a corresponding laser is required as a local oscillator to decode the signal, because frequencies of the transmitted information bearing laser beam are too high for the receiver processing electronics. Thus for FM laser communication systems every receiver must have its own local oscillator laser, resulting in high receiver costs and high power consumption. With a battery operated receiver, required presence of a laser local oscillator exacts a high price in power requirements.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a laser transmitter which avoids or minimizes above-mentioned problems.
In carrying out principles of the present invention in accordance with a preferred embodiment thereof, a laser transmitter is provided in which first and second lasers are caused to generate first and second laser beams of mutually different nominal frequencies. The two beams are transmitted in parallel, closely adjacent paths to provide a combined far field beam pattern having a frequency (e.g. beat frequency) corresponding to the difference between the nominal frequencies of the two lasers. The beat frequency is considerably lower than the frequency of either laser beam. This beat frequency effectively appears as an amplitude modulation envelope, at the beat frequency, of one of the transmitted laser beams. The frequency of one of the beams is modulated so as to modulate the frequency of the far field combined beam, enabling detection in a receiver without use of any local oscillator laser. For use in radar, a system according to the invention provides a much simplified transmitter, which effectively transmits and receives an optical beam amplitude modulated at a radio frequency. Frequency of the amplitude modulation is readily varied. As a communication system the invention effectively provides for transmission of an amplitude modulated laser beam bearing information in the form of frequency variation of its radio frequency amplitude envelope.
According to another feature of the invention, for use in both communication and radar transmitters, frequency modulation of one of the two lasers in the transmitter is accomplished by modulation of the amplitude of the radio frequency exciting signal that is applied to the lasing medium within the laser cavity. The two laser beams are generated with a nominal frequency difference that is in the radio frequency band, and thus reception and demodulation may be achieved by employing known radio frequency components and techniques.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified exemplary prior art FM laser communication system;
FIG. 2 illustrates a simplified FM laser radar of the prior art;
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a communication system employing principles of the present invention;
FIG. 4 illustrates a dual cavity waveguide laser transmitter of the present invention in cross section;
FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the side by side laser cavities of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 schematically illustrates an FM laser radar system employing principles of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a simplified showing of a prior art laser communication system in which a transmitter 10 includes laser 12 excited by a radio frequency signal from a radio frequency power source 14 to effect laser energy oscillations in the laser cavity between a total end reflector 16 and a partially transmissive and partially reflective output reflector 18. Mounted within the cavity between the end reflectors 16 and 18 is an electro-optic modulator 20, energized by a modulation driver 22. A frequency modulated beam, indicated at 26, is transmitted from the laser and received by a remote receiver 28. The receiver includes receiver optics 30 and a local oscillator laser 32. The received modulated optical signal is heterodyned with the local oscillator optical signal from laser 32 in a beat detector 34 of which the output is fed to a demodulator 36 to provide the information signal for further processing, as required. Because the receiver demodulator cannot handle a signal at optical frequencies, the receiver must have the laser local oscillator to heterodyne with the received optical signal to obtain a signal at RF frequencies for the demodulator. As previously mentioned, the laser local oscillator is expensive and has high power consumption.
FIG. 2 is a simplified showing of a radar system that is exemplary of certain prior art radar systems (such as that shown in Duvall et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,295) in which a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser 40 is electrically pumped or excited by a source of radio frequency power 42 to provide laser oscillations within a laser cavity defined between a rear cavity mirror 44 and a forward cavity output mirror 46. Rear mirror 44 is mounted upon a piezoelectric crystal 48, and an electro-optic crystal modulator 50 is positioned within the laser cavity adjacent the output mirror 46. A modulating voltage applied to the crystal modulator from a modulator driver 52 changes its index of refraction, thereby changing optical path length of the laser resonating cavity and shifting laser frequency. A local oscillator laser 54 is also provided, being energized by a radio frequency power source 56 to produce energy oscillations within the laser cavity defined between a rear cavity mirror 58 and a forward cavity output mirror 60.
A radar system requires stabilized oscillation frequencies. Thus both the local oscillator and the modulated laser are frequency stabilized by a power sensor 62 feeding a signal representing sensed power to a feedback circuit including servo electronics 64 and 66 to control piezoelectric crystal 48, which mounts the rear reflector 44 of laser 40, and to control a second piezoelectric crystal 68, which mounts the rear reflector 58 of the local oscillator. The local oscillator output beam is fed to the power sensor by reflection from a reflector 69 and thence a small portion of the beam is fed through a first beam splitter 70 to be reflected by a second beam splitter 71 to the power sensor 62. A small portion of the beam of the modulated laser transmitter 40 is fed through the beam splitter 71 to the power sensor. The major portion of the power of the transmitter beam is reflected from the beam splitter 71 and fed through transmitter optics 74 for transmission as a beam 73 toward a target 75. The local oscillator beam is reflected from beam splitter 70 and passed through a third beam splitter 76 to a signal processing circuit 77, which also receives a signal 78 reflected from the target, received by receiver optics 79 and reflected by beam splitter 76 to the processing circuit where it is heterodyned with the local oscillator signal.
The radar system illustrated in FIG. 2 has problems due to use of both the piezoelectric crystal for stabilizing frequency and the intra-cavity crystal modulator. The piezoelectric crystal exhibits unwanted mechanical resonances, and requires costly high voltage electronics. The electro-optic modulator also introduces a number of problems, including large intra-cavity losses, thereby drastically reducing laser output power, and causes beam distortion due to non-linear thermal variations in the crystal. Problems of this system also include the high cost and difficult manufacturing techniques for the crystal and the expensive, high voltage, high frequency driving electronics required.
In a co-pending application of Charles H. Wissman and Michael T. Braski, for Laser Frequency Control, Ser. No. 220,632, filed July 18, 1988, and assigned to the assignee of the present application, there is described a laser frequency modulation technique that avoids many of the problems of prior art frequency modulation. The disclosure of this application of Wissman and Braski is hereby incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. In the system disclosed in this companion application, frequency modulation and/or frequency stabilization is carried out in a radio frequency excited CO2 laser by varying amplitude of the exciting signal provided to the laser by the RF exciting power source. Variation of amplitude of the RF exciting signal is disclosed in the co-pending application of Wissman and Braski to provide a shift in laser frequency (FM modulation) that may be used either for frequency modulation or for frequency stabilization, or both.
According to one aspect of the present invention, this frequency modulation technique of the Wissman and Braski application is employed to provide an improved, simplified and inexpensive FM laser transmitter. This technique readily allows transmission of two closely adjacent side by side, parallel laser beams having a frequency difference in the order of radio frequencies. Moreover the FM modulation technique of Wissman and Braski enables improved FM modulation of one of the two transmitted beams. The two beams combine, or heterodyne, outside of the laser cavities, beyond the output optics of the lasers, to provide a combined far field beam pattern at the beat frequency, that is, at the frequency of the difference between frequencies of the two laser beams. This difference frequency is chosen to be in the order of a radio frequency, and thus a receiver need handle only a received signal of radio frequency. The radio frequency signal may be demodulated by known radio frequency demodulating components, and the receiver need not have its own local oscillator laser.
FIG. 3, which shows a laser communication transmitter and remote receiver embodying principles of the present invention, illustrates the transmitter with two separate lasers, whereas the receiver has none. In a presently preferred embodiment the two lasers are formed as separate bores in a single ceramic block, as will be more particularly explained in connection with FIGS. 4 and 5. A first laser 80 includes a cavity defined in a laser body and having end reflectors 82,84, providing laser energy oscillations within the gaseous medium of the cavity when excited by an RF signal from a radio frequency exciting power source 86. Power applied by the RF power source 86 is varied by a frequency modulation driver 88 to thereby vary frequency of the laser energy oscillations within the cavity of laser 80. A second laser 90, also having a cavity with end reflectors 92,94, and confining a gaseous medium excited by a radio frequency signal from an RF power source 96, is positioned close to the laser transmitter.
Laser energy beams transmitted from the output reflectors 84,94 of the two lasers are transmitted through transmit optics 98 as two mutually parallel, closely adjacent but separate beams 100,102. Preferably the lasers provide lasing oscillations at mutually different frequencies, with a frequency difference that is a radio frequency, in the range of about 10 KHz to 150 MHz. The lasing medium is a conventional carbon dioxide gas mixture, and, in a particular embodiment presented here as an example only, each laser cavity may have a width and height of about 0.080 inches by 0.080 inches, and a length of 7.75 inches. With RF excitation frequency at 74.5 MHz, nominal input power is 50 watts, and nominal output power is 2.5 watts. Nominal lasing wavelength is 10.6 micrometers. The two lasers are made to be substantially identical, having all of the same parameters, dimensions, lasing medium composition, pressure and the like. The two lasers may be made to share the same optics and have the same cavity length so as to have the same nominal lasing frequency for the same input power.
By suitable means, such as effecting controlled relative variation of output RF power of the two separate power sources 86,96 of the lasers, the two cavities are made to oscillate at different frequencies. Obviously other techniques may be used to establish the two lasers at the desired nominal frequencies. Variation of RF exciting power amplitude to achieve control of lasing frequency is described more particularly in the above-identified co-pending application of Wissman and Braski for Laser Frequency Control.
The two transmitted beams combine to provide an optical beam component or an optical beat frequency component that is formed by beating or heterodyne action that is basically the same action that occurs in the well known heterodyning of radio frequency signals. Such basic heterodyning action is described, for example, in pages 525 through 527 of Radio Engineering by F. E. Terrman, Third Edition, 1947. In heterodyning action, two waves of different frequencies combine to effectively impose upon one of the waves a varying amplitude modulation envelope that varies between successive amplitude peaks at a frequency that is the difference between frequencies of the two waves involved. In other words, the beating of the two transmitted laser beams, which expand and mutually overlap as they propagate, effectively imposes on one of the laser beams a fluctuating amplitude envelope having a radio frequency. Receiver components that cannot handle the high frequency of the laser beam carrier of this amplitude envelope, can readily receive and demodulate the amplitude envelope of the laser beam. No laser local oscillator is needed.
By varying frequency of one of the two transmitted laser beams with an information signal, the beat frequency of the amplitude envelope is varied so that the beat frequency is frequency modulated by the information signal.
Accordingly, with a controlled nominal frequency difference between frequencies of the two transmitted beams 100 and 102 in the range of from 10 KHz to 150 MHz, the two closely adjacent beams produce a far field pattern which exhibits an optical beam component (amplitude envelope) at the beat frequency. Thus the combined beams in the far field, at a distance from the transmit optics, effectively produce an optical component having a frequency equal to the frequency difference between the two transmitted beams. This difference, of course, is far lower than the frequency of either laser beam. Although the nominal frequencies of both lasers are set to provide the described frequency difference, laser 80 has the amplitude of the output of its RF power source 86 modulated by an information source which includes a frequency modulation driver 88. Thus, the information to be transmitted is impressed upon the RF power, or, more specifically, impressed upon the RF exciting signal from power source 86 in the form of amplitude modulation of the exciting signal. This amplitude modulation imposes a frequency modulation upon the energy oscillations within the cavity of laser 80, and thus the beam 102 transmitted by laser 80 is frequency modulated with the desired information signal. Accordingly the beat frequency is also modulated by this information signal, and the far field pattern of the combined transmission exhibits a optical beam at the modulated beat frequency of the two lasers. Stated otherwise, the amplitude envelope of one of the transmitted laser beams is frequency modulated by the information to be transmitted.
A remote receiver, generally indicated at 104, employs receiver optics 106 for receiving the transmitted heterodyned beams and feeds this optical signal to an optical signal detector 108. Detector 108 detects the frequency modulated amplitude envelope (having a radio frequency) and in turn provides as its output a radio frequency signal on a line 110 which is fed to a substantially conventional radio frequency FM demodulator 112. Further processing (not shown) of the signal from demodulator 112 is conventional. Note that the receiver, although it receives an optical signal, needs no local laser oscillator, because the received signal is at the beat frequency, which is in the band of radio frequencies.
The described communication system, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, employs two lasers in the transmitter, but its beam may be received and utilized by a receiver that does not have a laser. This transmission system is secure and covert. It has a major advantage of transmitting a narrow beam width information bearing signal that is much more difficult to detect with non-target receivers because of its narrow footprint. For example, the beam of such a dual laser transmitter will have a footprint or beam width in the order of 1 meter at a distance of 1 kilometer from the transmitter, whereas a radio frequency transmitter transmitting a beam at a 6 meter wavelength will have a footprint of as much as 200 feet at one kilometer. Moreover, the beam of a carbon dioxide laser is more difficult to detect than the conventional radio frequency signal, thus further enhancing the increased security afforded by the described transmitter.
A presently preferred arrangement for a transmitter having two closely adjacent, substantially identical lasers with separate and separately controlled RF power sources is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in FIG. 4, a ceramic block 120 is formed with a pair of elongated cavities 122,124 separated by a narrow partition 126. The cavities are formed as grooves in the block 120 which are closed by a cap block 128, which is secured and sealed to block 120. End reflectors 130,132, the latter being an output reflector that is partially transmissive, are provided in common to the two closely adjacent cavities so that the reflectors may be properly aligned to provide for equal cavity lengths of the two cavities. Exciting electrode pairs 134,135 and 138,139 are formed by a metallic coating on upper and lower surfaces of the cavities 122 and 124 respectively. Connecting leads extend to outer surfaces of the cavity block from the respective electrodes through sealing apertures 140,141,142, and 143, which extend through the ceramic block material to outer terminal points 145,146,147 and 148. The terminals 145, 146 are connected to a first RF power source 150, and terminals 147, 148 are connected to a second RF power source 152. The latter has the amplitude of its RF exciting signal modulated by a frequency modulator driver 154, which provides the information signal that is frequency modulated upon the laser of cavity 124. Except for different exciting power levels, the two lasers are substantially identical to each other, having the same parameters as lasers 80 and 90. The nominal power levels or amplitudes of power sources 150 and 152 are controlled so as to provide for the desired nominal frequency difference (as described above in connection with FIG. 3) between the frequencies of the two lasers in the respective cavities 122, 124. The dual waveguide laser system illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be fabricated in a manner similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,715 of Alan R. Henderson, for Clustered Waveguide Laser, assigned to the assignee of the present application. The disclosure of this patent of Henderson is incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth.
With the construction illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the two lasers may be positioned close together, providing a compact package and enabling the use of smaller common optics and better control of relative frequencies. The common optics helps to maintain the nominal frequency difference in the two laser bores. Basically the arrangement of FIGS. 4 and 5 shows two substantially independent and separate lasers which are mounted in a compact arrangement that provides ready control of the relative frequencies and simplified transmission of the two laser beams along parallel, closely adjacent paths.
The communication system transmitters illustrated in FIG. 3 and in FIGS. 4 and 5 alternatively may be employed for a simplified, inexpensive laser radar, which eliminates the need for expensive, low efficiency electro-optic modulators and acoustic modulators, and, moreover, provides for simpler, less costly receiving circuitry. Such a radar will operate CW (continuous wave) and does not require added complexity of a Q-switched operation, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,758, mentioned above.
Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a first laser 160, having end reflectors 162,164 is energized by a radio frequency exciting signal from an RF power source 166. A modulator driver 168 varies the amplitude of the RF exciting signal from power source 166, thereby varying the frequency of the laser energy beam provided from the transmitting end reflector 164. A second laser 170, having end reflectors 172,174, is energized with an RF exciting signal from an RF power source 176. Beam 183 of laser 170 is reflected by a reflector 182, thence transmitted through a beam splitter 184 to transmit/receive optics 186. A small portion of the beam 183 of the laser 170 is reflected by the beam splitter 184 to a power sensor 180. Similarly, the beam 185 from laser 160 is reflected by a reflector 188, and thence fed through a beam splitter 190 to transmit/receive optics 186. Beam splitter 190 reflects a small portion of the beam 185 from laser 160 to the power sensor 180. The power sensor provides separate feedback signals to servo electronics 194,196, respectively, which provide feedback stabilizing signals to piezoelectric transducers 198,200, respectively, upon which are mounted the rear reflectors 162,172.
The feedback stabilization loops operate in a substantially known manner to maintain a nominal frequency of the lasers should they tend to drift due to thermal variations and the like. Such feedback stabilization arrangements are shown in detail in the above mentioned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,666,295 and 4,660,206. Although separate servo electronics 194,196 are shown, it will be understood that the two lasers may have their piezoelectric transducers operated from a single combined servo electronic circuit. It is also contemplated that instead of employing the piezoelectric transducers in the feedback stabilization loops, the servo electronic feedback signal will be applied to the radio frequency power sources to provide the laser frequency stabilization as more particularly described in the above-identified co-pending companion application for Laser Frequency Control of Charles H. Wissman and Michael T. Braski. If the radar is used to measure Doppler velocity, frequency control is important. But in AM, range, or certain pulsed arrangements, frequency control is not nearly as important. The type of transmitter described herein is best suited for AM/ranging applications, such as wire detection/collision avoidance, where the laser puts out a pulse train that is used to detect telephone or electric wires within a few hundred feet of the plane or helicopter. The transmitter described herein, although not as sophisticated as the scheme of the above mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,295 to Duvall et al will provide an acceptable alternative to the Duvall et al performance, where lower cost is an important factor.
Just as in the transmitter of FIG. 3, the optics 186 transmits first and second laser beams 204,206 along closely adjacent parallel paths to provide a far field combined beam at the beat frequency of the two. As described in connection with the laser transmitter of FIG. 3, the nominal frequencies of the two lasers 160 and 170 are maintained at a difference that is a radio frequency, in the order of about 10 KHz to 150 MHz. Thus the system effectively transmits an optical beam having an amplitude envelope at the beat frequency, a radio frequency, which frequency may be caused to vary in a desired manner by control of the modulation driver 168. The receiver portion of the radar system illustrated in FIG. 6 receives the reflection (from a target 202) of the optical signal at the beat frequency, indicated by reflected beam 210 in FIG. 6. The radar transmit/receive optics 186 (used in common for both transmission and reception) passe this radio frequency optical beam to a detector 214 which provides a radio frequency electrical signal representing the reflected signal to a signal processing circuit 216 for suitable processing and information extraction.
In the radar of FIG. 6 beat frequency may be varied by the modulation driver 168 in one of several different modes. The described laser transmitter can be used either as one for replacement for an AM laser radar transmitter or as a transmitter for pulse tone or Fourier transform radar. Essentially, one could (1) fix the beat frequency and use the phase of the detected RF (beat frequency) return; (2) sweep the beat frequency to eliminate range ambiguities but otherwise detect the phase of the RF return as in the AM case; or (3) step the beat frequency, take a complete scan or picture after each step, then Fourier transform to obtain a range picture.
Effectively, the radar system illustrated in FIG. 6 is an RF type radar having a carbon dioxide laser generated beam. This is so because the far field combination of the two beams effectively provides an optical signal at an RF frequency.
The radar described herein can also be used in the same way as the FM chirp lasers of the prior art, such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,295, by providing step frequency shift of the RF exciting signal.

William Craig asserts that "Jesus rose from the dead". In making this claim, Craig takes on a burden of proof. A crucial part of this burden is to prove that Jesus actually died on the cross, since a person can rise from the dead ONLY IF they have previously died. Unfortunately, in most of his books, articles, and debates, Craig simply ignores this issue.However in The Son Rises: The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus (hereafter: TSR), Craig does make a brief attempt to … [Read more...]
Why William Lane Craig Has Not Seriously Argued for Jesus' Death
It is difficult, of course, to get into someone else's mind and to figure out why that person thinks the way they think. But I can make some educated guesses as to why William Lane Craig rarely argues in support of the death of Jesus on the cross, and why when he does so (e.g. in The Son Rises, hereafter: TSR), he does not make a serious intellectual effort (i.e. he rattles off dozens of historical claims without providing actual historical evidence to support those claims).I think there … [Read more...]

Craig's "Historical Evidence" for the Death of Jesus – Part 3
As a Christian apologist who defends the claim that 'Jesus rose from the dead', William Craig takes upon himself a heavy burden of proof. To meet the burden of proof Craig must put forward powerful historical evidence to prove that 'Jesus actually died on the cross'. But in most of his books, articles, and debates on the resurrection, Craig simply ignores this issue.One exception to this pattern of neglect is found in his book The Son Rises: The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of … [Read more...]
Craig's "Historical Evidence" for the Death of Jesus – Part 2
Although Christian apologists bear the burden of proof to show that 'Jesus actually died on the cross', William Craig usually ignores this issue in his books, articles, and debates defending the resurrection of Jesus. In my previous post, I pointed out that there is at least one book in which Craig does make a case for the claim that 'Jesus actually died on the cross.' Craig makes a very brief attempt at this in The Son Rises: The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus (hereafter: … [Read more...]
Craig's "Historical Evidence" for the Death of Jesus
Anyone who asserts that 'Jesus rose from the dead' takes on a burden of proof, and because this is an extraordinary claim, the proof required is extraordinary proof. Make a miracle claim and you take on a heavy burden of proof. So, when William Craig asserts that 'Jesus rose from the dead', he takes upon himself a heavy burden of proof, and part of that burden of proof is to provide powerful historical evidence for the claim that 'Jesus actually died on the cross.'It should go without sa … [Read more...]
The Failure of William Craig's Case for the Resurrection
According to the Christian apologist Norman Geisler:Before we can show that Jesus rose from the dead, we need to show that He really did die.

The people who work there are assholes and go so slow. The food is great.
Posted by Jon on 11/18/2014
Alright, I ordered two milkshakes and an order of fries. Three people were working, there were two other orders being made, and it took a solid twenty five minutes from the time that I payed until I got my food. Needless to say, the service was terrible. I watched two of the workers sit there and have a conversation while I was waiting for my food and clearly nobody was prepping it. I must say the milkshakes and the fries were top notch. It is great drunk food with exotic menu selections and will cure any hangover known to man. Just make sure that if you end up going to U Got Munchies, just make sure that you call an hour in advance. Even if you do, there still might be a 15 minute wait on your "Royale".

These guys were awesome when they opened and seemed to slip a bit after that. They were closed for a while this summer and came back with a smaller menu (which kinda sucks), but things seem to be running better now and they made some good changes. Not sure if it's new employees or what, but definitely one of my favorite spots at Temple again.

Study: 10 minutes of exercise, hour-long effects
Don't expect a pill ever to substitute for a workout - the new work shows how complicated the body's response to exercise is, says metabolomics researcher Dr. Debbie Muoio of Duke University Medical Center.
But scientists are hunting nutritional compounds that might help tweak metabolic processes in specific ways. For example, Muoio discovered the muscles of diabetic animals lack enough of a metabolite named carnitine, and that feeding them more improved their control of blood sugar. Now, Muoio is beginning a pilot study in 25 older adults with pre-diabetes to see if carnitine supplements might work similarly in people who lack enough.
Next up: With University of Vermont researchers, she's testing how metabolic changes correlate with health measures in a study of people who alternate between a carefully controlled Mediterranean diet and higher-fat diets.
"The longterm hope is you could use this in making our way toward personalized medicine," Muoio says.

Ok...my plan is to build a keezer. It needs to be able to have the following traits:
Large enough for 4 corney kegs and 2 tanks- 5lbs each (CO2 and beergas)
My plan is to build a keezer with a collar, have two taps on CO2 and a Stout tap on beergas for 3 taps total. The 4th keg would be so I could have some ready to tap as soon as one runs out. (of course I'll have other kegs outside of the keezer waiting their turn)
The Keezer would be in my garage and I plan on putting it on casters so I can roll it out next to my patio bar.
My questions is what size freezer would I need to accomplish this. My thought is at least 7 Cubic Foot?? For those who have built one...what are your thoughts/suggestions.
Depends on the brand and the inside dimensions. But, I would think a 7cuf. would be just fine with a collar.
9 f^3 would be big enough for SURE. 7 would be tight. I would think 8.something to 9 would be the right move, no worries about which corny's, etc, etc at that point.
Mine is a 7.2cuf with 5 cornies and a 10# tank. Also it's a 10x1 collar.
This info should help you:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/sizi...ny-kegs-75449/
Thanks for the real world report on your 7.2 Keezer. That gives me the confidence to go with a 7.2, what brand is yours by the way. I may just buy the same one you have.
Thanks to everyone else for your input too.
I have the Magic Chef 7.2 cu. ft. and you can get 4 kegs and 2 gas tanks in there using a 2x6 collar. You could probably get by with a 2x4 collar.
It's a Frigidare 7.2 Nope, no Hamm's clone.....last name is Hamm and I've been collecting Hamm's beer stuff for as long as I can remember. Sorta my corner of the family room in the basement.
I'm looking at the Frigidaire 7.2 at Best Buy. Would that fit 6 kegs with the CO2 on the outside? How big would the collar have to be?

Daniel Radcliffe's 'The F Word' to Start Shooting in Toronto Next Week
The indie comedy features several prominent Jewish stars.
By: Ashley Baylen
Indie comedy, 'The F Word', starring Daniel Radcliffe, will begin shooting in Toronto next week.
'The Harry Potter' star is expected to arrive in Toronto within the week and will be staying there for a couple of months.
'The F Word', directed by Canadian Michael Dowse, takes an intimate look at a 20-something couple (Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan) that meet at a party and immediately hit it off.
Jonathan Cherry, star of 'Goon' and Shalom Life's Top 20 Under 40, and Adam Driver of HBO's 'Girls', just landed roles alongside Radcliffe and Kazan.
The comedy was written by Elan Mastai, produced by David Gross, and will be distributed by Entertainment One Films in Canada and Britain.
