This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/558,904 filed Jul. 27, 1990, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to an assembly for fastening a circuit card assembly or a module, in place within slots formed in a chassis cold wall. In addition to maintaining the circuit card assembly or module in place, the assembly forms a thermal conductive path to the chassis.
Electronic systems often have their electronic components mounted on circuit boards that are placed in the system by inserting an end connector on the board into a complementary connector socket--usually soldered on an underlying motherboard. Typically, a number of such circuit boards would be positioned in parallel spaced relation to one another.
The lateral edges of the circuit boards are fitted and held in slots formed in a chassis to maintain the circuit boards rigidly in place and, perhaps more importantly, to provide a thermal conductive path from the circuit board to the chassis, allowing the chassis to serve as a heat sink. For this latter purpose, heat sink strips are located at lateral edges of the board. For good thermal conductivity, it is important that the circuit boards be in good thermal contact with the chassis.
Among the techniques to hold the circuit board edges in place in slots formed in the chassis is the use of wedge-clamps. These devices operate to establish and maintain the board-chassis contact and to provide the necessary transfer of heat from the board to the chassis body. An example of such a clamp is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,354,770. The wedge-clamp forces edges of the circuit board against one surface of the chassis slot.
Such wedge-clamps are typically located between one edge of the circuit board and a wall of a slot formed in the chassis. Tightening the wedge-clamp forces the board to reference to the chassis slot rather than the (usually underlying) motherboard to which it may be connected. Often, the slots and motherboard connection are not accurately aligned, relative to one another. When misaligned, the board will bend and the connector is stressed, creating a point of possible failure. This becomes a particular problem for circuit boards using metal core surface mount assemblies which are especially susceptible to failure if bent. Thus, to secure the edges of a metal core surface mount assembly requires precise chassis tolerances to locate the slots relative to the underlining motherboard connector to reduce or eliminate bending. This is expensive in terms of both labor and material.
The problem exacerbates when circuits are packaged in module form. Typically such modules have a cube-like housing, containing electronics circuitry mounted on multiple circuit boards. The module also has one or more connectors on one surface for electrical connection to a motherboard or back plane. As with the circuit board, the module includes tabs, usually formed on opposing sides of the module, two or more tabs per side, to fit into the slots in the chassis. As with the circuit card assembly described above, the tab-slot mating surfaces provides both heat transfer paths and placement rigidity to the module. However, the tab-slot alignment for locking the tabs in place with conventional wedge-clamps requires that the module housing and the chassis slots be formed with relatively precise tolerances to obtain a proper fit and locking action. Again, as with circuit boards, this increases the cost (in terms of time, labor and expense) of manufacture of such packaging.
The present invention relates to a dual wedgelock, clamp assembly for securing an edge of a circuit board, or a module tab, in a slot of a chassis. The assembly utilizes a pair of parallel-operated wedge-clamps attached to each edge, operating to center and secure the edge/tab in place without bending or flexing.
The assembly includes a pair of segmented leg members, each forming a wedge-clamp. Each leg member comprises a plurality of distinct wedge segments having complementary wedge surfaces coupled together at their upper edges by a yoke through which a threaded activating screw extends. The bottom wedge segments are fixed in position and attached to the circuit card assembly or module. The assembly is adapted to fit into a slot formed in a chassis with each leg member being located on opposite sides of the edge or tab of a circuit board. Rotation of the threaded activating screw effects movement of the yoke, which, in turn, will impose a longitudinal force on the wedge segments of both leg members, causing lateral movement of the segments into engagement with the circuit board edge and the walls of the slot. The rotating activating screw simultaneously actuates the two leg members.
In the preferred embodiment, an elastomeric member extends longitudinally in a keyway formed within the wedge segments, thereby holding the wedge segments in place prior to fastening. Crossover members join the leg members of the opposite wedge segments and return the clamps to their minimum width position upon loosening of the activating screw.
The dual wedgelock clamp assembly of the present invention provides a means for securing the edges of a circuit board in a slot without flexure of the circuit board. Independent movement of the wedge segments compensates for unequal gaps on respective sides of the circuit board edges by permitting unequal movement of the yoke.
Other features and advantages will appear from the following description in which the preferred embodiment has been set forth in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a simplified version of the wedgelock clamp assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of one of the wedge segments of a leg of the wedgelock clamp assembly illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an illustration of the elastomeric ladder element used to hold the wedge segments of the invention shown in FIG. 1 together;
FIG. 4 is an illustration of the tab or edge portion of a circuit board, configured to receive the wedgelock clamp assembly of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 5 and 6 are illustrations of use of the wedgelock clamp assembly of FIG. 1, affixing the tab of a circuit board, and the tabs of a circuit assembly module, respectively, to a chassis.
Turning now to the Figures, FIGS. 1-3 illustrate, in simplified form, a construction of the dual wedgelock clamp assembly of the present invention. As FIG. 1 shows, the dual wedgelock clamp assembly, designated generally with the reference numeral 10, includes a pair of segmented leg members 12 and 14. The segmented leg members 12 and 14 each respectively comprise upper and lower segments 12a/14a and 12c/14c separated by an inner segment 12b/14b. The segments of each leg member 12, 14 are generally linearly arranged, and the inner segments 12b, 14b confronts its neighbors via complementary-angled wedge surfaces 15.
Loosely attached to the top segments 12a, 14a is a yoke 16 that spans from one to the other. Through approximately the middle of the yoke 16 is a threaded activating screw 18. The terminus 20 of the activating screw 18 threads into the tab or edge of a circuit board assembly or module to activate the yoke as will be described more fully below. The terminal portions couple to the leg members 12 and 14.
Formed longitudinally through each of the segmented leg members 12, 14, as more particularly illustrated in FIG. 2 (showing the inner segment 14b of leg 14; insofar as the other leg segments are concerned, this discussion of the inner segment 14b applies to them equally), is a keyway 30. A channel 32 extends the length of the segment and opens into the keyway 30. The keyway 30 receives the legs 36, 38 of an elastomeric ladder element 34 (FIGS. 1 and 3) that operates to hold the segments of the leg members 12, 14 together, yet permits some lateral movement of the segments. As FIG. 3 further illustrates, the ladder element 34 includes cross-over elements 40 that attach and hold the legs 36, 38 together. The channel 32, opening from the keyway 30, permits the crossover elements 40 to extend from each of the segments of the leg members 12, 14.
Returning to FIG. 1, note that a pin 27 is affixed to and extends between the lower segments 12c, 14c, of the leg members 12, 14. Pin 27, as will be seen, holds the bottom segment 12c, 14c in fixed relation to the circuit card assembly or module.
Preferably, the individual segments of the leg member 12, 14 are fabricated from extruded aluminum, or other heat-conductive metal. The elastomeric ladder element 34 is preferably fabricated from a fluorosilicon (a silicon rubber-based material) that is tear-resistant and heat-resistant.
Preferably, the tab or edge with which the wedgelock clamp assembly 10 is to be used is especially configured for such use. Illustrated in FIG. 4 is a side portion of a circuit board 41 with an edge tab 42. Although not specifically shown, the circuit board 41 would include, for example, at the bottom periphery 43, a circuit connector (not shown). At the other end (from the tab 42 shown in FIG. 4) of the circuit board 41 is a tab configured in the same manner as tab 42.
As FIG. 4 illustrates, the tab 42 is provided with cut-outs 44 to permit the cross-over elements 40 of the elastomeric ladder element 34 (FIG. 3) to extend therethrough. In addition, the tab 42 has an aperture 46 through which will extend pin 27. Finally, the tab 42 has formed at 48 a threaded section 49 configured to receive the terminus 20 (FIG. 1) of the activating screw 18.
In use, the wedgelock clamp 10 is mounted to the edge tab 42 of circuit board 41 so that the leg members 12, 14 are on either side of the tab 42 with the cross-over members 40 of the elastomeric ladder element extending through the cut-outs 44. Pin 27 extends from and between the bottom segments 12c, 14c through the aperture 46, operating to hold the bottom segments 12c, 14c fixed relative to the tab edge 42.
The edged tab 42 with the wedgelock clamp assembly 10 so attached is inserted in place as illustrated in FIG. 5 so that the combination (tab 42 and assembly 10) is situated in a channel 50 formed in a chassis sidewall 52. It will be appreciated that, although not specifically illustrated in FIG. 5, the board 41 extends from one channel so formed in the chassis side wall 52 to an opposing channel similarly formed in a confronting chassis sidewall (not shown), and has a similar, tab formed at the opposite end thereof that also fits in the opposing channel (not shown) to be held in place by another wedgelock clamp assembly of the present invention.
Returning to FIG. 5, with the circuit board tab 42 and wedgelock clamp assembly 10 so in place, the threaded activating screw 18 is rotated in a direction (depending upon the threads) that cause the yoke 16 to exert a downward force on the upper segments 12a, 14a' of the leg members 12, 14. In turn, the upper segments 12a, 14a exert a force on the inner and lower segments. However, since the lower segments 12c, 14c are held immobile by the pin 27, the exerted force will, by reason of the complementary-angled wedge surfaces, force the inner segments 12b, 14b outward as indicated by the arrows A and B, respectively (FIG. 1), and into wedging engagement with the side surfaces 54, 56 of the channel 50, as diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 5. Similar activity is conducted at the other end (not shown) of the circuit board 41. Thereby, the tabs 42 of a circuit board 41 are positioned, and affixed (wedged) in channels 50 of a chassis sidewall 52 by the dual wedgelock clamp 10. This position will be determined by the position of the connector socket (not shown) on an underlying motherboard (not shown) with each inner segment 12b and 14b moving outward to contact the sidewalls 54, 56, respectively, of the channel 50 (FIG. 5) as required. If there is not connector establishing the position, the tabs 42 on the circuit board 41 are positioned in the approximate center of the channel 50, determined by the elasticity of the ladder element (FIG. 3).
As indicated, FIG. 5 illustrates use of the wedgelock clamp assembly 10 to affix the edge tab 42 of a circuit board 41 to a chassis sidewall 52. As previously described above, circuit assemblies can come in module form, the modules being volumetric, cube configurations, with tabs formed on opposing surfaces for thermal conductivity connection to a chassis. Thus, illustrated in FIG. 6, shown partially, is a module 60 having formed on one side surface 62 thereof tabs 64. It will be appreciated by those skilled in this art that only a side portion of the module 60 is shown. An opposite side surface (not shown) normally would also have tabs (not shown). The module 60 may have an underlying connector that is received by a receptacle in a motherboard (not shown) that would underlie the module 60.
Further, although not specifically shown, it will be understood that the tabs 64 have a length that extend substantially the width of the side surface 62 of the module 60.
The tabs 64 of the module 60 are adapted to be received in slots 68 formed in a sidewall chassis 70. The tabs 64 are configured in much the same manner as tab 42 of circuit board 40 (FIG. 4); that is, cut-outs (not shown) and attachment means (not shown) similar to the attachment means 50.
So configured, the tabs 64 are each supplied with a wedgelock clamp assembly 10 and the combination inserted in the slots 68 of chassis sidewall 70. The activating screw 18 (FIG. 1) is rotated to, as described above, effect wedging engagement between the tabs 64 and the inner side walls of the slot 68. Thereby, the tabs 64 are captured and held to the chassis sidewall 70, establishing thermal conductivity therewith through the wedgelock clamp assemblies 10.
It should be noted that the use of the wedgelock clamp assemblies 10 to affix module 60 to a chassis sidewall 70, as illustrated in FIG. 6, allows the tolerance between placement of the slots 68 relative to any connection apparatus to be looser. The wedgelock clamp assemblies 10 will tend to take up any misalignment.
In conclusion, there has been described a clamping mechanism for sandwiching, clamping and holding tabs of circuit boards, or tabs of circuit board modules, to a chassis that is easily manufactured and used. In its broadest embodiment, the invention comprises plural, aligned segments. Obviously, it will be evident to those skilled in this art that various modifications and construction can be made of the present invention without varying from the scope of its essence. For example, although the discussion of the invention has been in the context of one having three segments to a leg, preferably it would have any odd number of segments, i.e., 3, 5, 7, etc. Further, although the bottom segments were shown as being held vertically immobile by the pin 27 and aperture 46 (formed in circuit board 40), other means for holding the bottom segments immobile could be found such as, for example, pins, rivets.

Call Me Zelda
"From New York to Paris, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald reigned as king and queen of the Jazz Age, seeming to float on champagne bubbles above the mundane cares of the world. But to those who truly knew them, the endless parties were only a distraction from their inner turmoil, and from a love that united them with a scorching intensity. When Zelda is committed to a Baltimore psychiatric clinic in 1932, vacillating between lucidity and madness in her struggle to forge an identity separate from her husband, the famous writer, she finds a sympathetic friend in her nurse, Anna Howard. Held captive by her own tragic past, Anna is increasingly drawn into the Fitzgeralds tumultuous relationship. As she becomes privy to Zelda's most intimate confessions, written in a secret memoir meant only for her, Anna begins to wonder which Fitzgerald is the true genius. But in taking ever greater emotional risks to save Zelda, Anna may end up paying a far higher price than she intended"--P. [4] of cover.

As in years past, we will be highlighting all 25 titles on the BTBA Fiction Longlist, one by one, building up to the announcement of the 10 finalists on April 10th. A variety of judges, booksellers, and readers will write these, all under the rubric of "Why This Book Should Win. You can find the whole series by clicking here. And if you're interested in writing any of these, just get in touch._
Traveler of the Century by Andrés Neuman, translated from the Spanish by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia and published by FSG
This piece is by bookseller and BTBA judge, Stephen Sparks.
Let me entice you by stating flat out that Andres Neuman's Alfaguara Prize-winning Traveler of the Century (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia) is a 600-page novel in which not much happens. In some ways, it stands, a hulking mass (Andres the Giant?), in the corner opposite Houellebecq's Map and the Territory. (Wrestling allusion thrown in for Chad's sake.)
There is a plot, yes—the young traveler of the title stumbles into the neither here-nor-there city of Wandernburg (think of a magic mountain nestled among invisible cities), falls in love with a betrothed woman (you will too), demonstrates the affinities between translation and love (it's sexy), fends off the stuffy morality of small town life (no surprises here), all while a mysterious rapist is on the loose (actually, stated like this, a lot does seem to happen)—but this is above all a novel of ideas, of heady conversation, of intellect. Which, fortunately, does not make it any less riveting.
Most of the action, for lack of a better word, in Traveler of the Century takes place in a salon, among a set of conversationalists who range from the brash and revolutionary to the staid, the ill-informed, and the amusingly ill-equipped. Ideas are bandied about, poetry is recited, and sexual tension swells until it can no longer be contained. Neumann's ability to pace a novel in which conversation is the primary mover is admirable and although some of his efforts early in the novel are a little clumsy, he picks up steam and refinement as he proceeds. This is an interesting phenomenon to watch unfold: Neumann's work is by no means perfect. Instead, it's one of those novels in which the seams sometimes show, reminiscent of Bolano's Savage Detectives, in which the reader gets to watch a writer figure it out as he goes along. The rewards have to be more than sufficient for a book like this to work, and they are, they are.
Fittingly, some of most remarkable moments in Traveler of the Century concern translation. In one memorable scene, the professor, a staid conservative who rests on his laurels, argues against the possibility of translation. As the bore goes on and on, Hans, the traveler of the title, reflects that
everything he said was applicable to the field of emotions—in short, someone who disbelieved in the possibilities of translation was skeptical of love. This man . . . was linguistically born to solitude.
And, a few moments later, Hans is forced to concede a point as the professor argues
that it is far easier to think in a foreign language than to feel in it . . . and from this one can deduce that any feeling expressed in another language cannot be the same feeling, not even a variant of it. At best it can be inspired by another feeling. Call this an exchange, an influence or what you will. But, I beg you, do not call it translation.
This fruitful dialectic is a prime example of Neumann's strategy for moving his novel along. It also brings to mind several questions about the nature of translation, which is of course relevant to anyone reading this blog.
I stated earlier that this is not a perfect book, but I nevertheless believe it deserves to win the BTBA because its merits far outweigh its imperfections: Traveler of the Century is, like the wandering city in which the traveler finds he cannot escape, a place to get lost in.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

HaptoMime lets users "touch" a mid-air display
Touchscreen interfaces may make our lives easier, but the things do tend to get smeared with finger oil and whatnot, plus they're notorious for spreading germs. That's why a team of researchers at the University of Tokyo, led by assistant professor Yasuaki Monnai, have developed the HaptoMime. It's an ATM-like interface that lets the user feel like they're touching a glass screen, when in fact they're touching nothing at all. Read More
Soundlazer reveals second generation parametric speaker
The creator of the pocket-sized Soundlazer directional speaker has revealed a more cost effective way for sonic scientists to get up to all sorts of narrow beam larks with friends. The new Snap does away with the funky red aluminum outer casing and ditches the complex digital signal processing in favor of a simple snap-together frame, board and ultrasonic transducers. Read More
While it's not against the law to smoke cigarettes in most parts of the world, there are still a lot of places where smoking is prohibited – workplaces, hotels, public housing, college dorms, jails – and a whole lot of smokers who still like to sneak in a cheeky one on the sly. That could become a lot more difficult with the release of the AirGuard, a sophisticated smoke detection unit that can either be hand held or fixed to a wall, and that can send out a Wi-Fi alert when tobacco or marijuana smoke is detected.

A new power inverter developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) marries advances in 3D printing and wide-band semiconductor technology to deliver significantly improved performance in a smaller, lighter package. With further development, it could go a long way toward helping build electric cars that are more powerful and energy-efficient. Read More
Amazon Fire TV Stick sticks it to Chromecast, Roku
On Monday, Amazon expanded one of the key fronts in the ongoing war for control of the living room by introducing the Fire TV Stick. It's a follow-up to the company's Amazon Fire TV launched earlier this year, and a direct competitor to Google's Chromecast and the Roku Streaming Stick. Read More
Polyes Q1 aims to be the first child-safe 3D sketching pen
Startup company Future Make 3D is developing the Polyes Q1, a 3D pen with a slew of safety features that aims to make it fun and safe for everyone – children included – to sketch out three-dimensional sculptures made of plastic. The cordless, USB-charged pen will come with standard, glow-in-the-dark, transparent and temperature-changing inks and is set to hit Kickstarter sometime next month. Read More
Portable iBox Nano cuts size and cost of 3D resin printing
Bigger is better is generally the mantra when it comes to consumer 3D printers. This is despite the majority of users likely to be only printing smaller objects anyway. Targeting such users, iBox is introducing the smaller-scaled iBox Nano, a portable resin-based 3D printer designed specifically to print cheaply, easily, and quietly at a price far below larger UV-based resin machines, while still maintaining a good print quality.

When I saw BotFactory's Squink in action at MakerCon in New York last month, it was one of those innovations that took a few minutes to sink in. It looks like a modified 3D printer, but it does much more. In essence, it is a home factory in a single package. Read More
Cheap, ultra low-power light source runs on just 0.1 Watts
Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new low-cost flat panel light source that could pioneer a new generation of brighter, cheaper and greener lighting devices to rival LEDs. The device uses arrays of highly conductive carbon nanotubes to deliver evenly-distributed illumination with high efficiency and a power consumption as low as 0.1 Watts – about 100 times lower than that of light-emitting diodes.

Researchers at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a new, proof-of-concept anode for lithium-ion batteries that can charge to 70 percent of its capacity in only two minutes and has a very long lifespan of ten thousands charge/discharge cycles. The advance could lead to the production of high-rate lithium-ion batteries, with interesting implications for personal electronics and, perhaps, even electric vehicles. Read More

VIRAL VIDEOS: Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance, The Tonight Show Sings "Let It Go", and Pres. Obama and Vice Pres. Biden MOVE
Audio clip:
Here's what's going viral now on Facebook.
"President Obama and Vice President Biden Show Us How They Move."
As part of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign, President Obama and Vice President Biden show Americans how they work out in this White House sponsored fitness video. The President and Vice President work-up a sweat by jogging around the White House in business attire. There is even a brief cameo by the First Dogs Bo and Sunny, who look understandably confused. The pair conclude their rigorous and motivational conditioning routine with a couple tall glasses of ice water.
Then, there's this:
"Jimmy Fallon, Idina Menzel & The Roots Sing 'Let It Go.'"
Fresh from her stunning Oscar performance… despite John Travolta butchering her name – singer Idina Menzel performs this cute and quirky rendition of the Academy Award winning song "Let It Go" on the Tonight Show. Host Jimmy Fallon, joined by The Roots get funky using ordinary classroom instruments for the accompaniment, creating a surprisingly fresh take on the song from Disney's Frozen that's been parodied ad nauseam for the past several months.
And, Facebook users are hitting the "like" button on:
"Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance."
Perhaps it's a troubling sign of the times when this vintage clip from 1969 of legendary comedian Red Skelton is trending on Facebook. May be Americans are looking for inspiration and to find it, they are turning to the past. In any event, it's one of his most famous routines. Skelton breaks down what the Pledge of Allegiance means before foreshadowing on a growing controversy about the separation of church and state.

China Bags Guinness Record for Mattress Dominoes
August 1, 2012 | by Genevieve Baxa
China recently became a Guinness record holder for knocking down a total of 1,001 mattress dominoes.
It took the team about 10 minutes to execute the routine, and as soon as the last domino fell, everyone cheered and clapped, pleased that their hard work had paid off.
Good job, and congratulations, China!

I stayed at this hotel for 12 nights, my room faced the road and was on the first floor. I could not hear the road noise, wish I had a room facing the river. The pool is tiny, so don't come expecting laps. The food at this hotel is terrible and way over priced, a shame because if they had decent food at reasonable prices I feel they would get more business thus make more money. With such great choices of food less than a 5 minute walk to Main St., why would anyone settle for sub-par food. This hotel is great for its location and service. My biggest problem and I think for many people it wouldn't be, is that I like to be warm, really warm while sleeping. They have set their thermostats not to get warmer than 76F and I like 78F, I would have to ask there maintenance person to come and change the temperature but every 78 hours it would revert back again, I had to do this 4 times on the trip.

The objective was to design, build, and assess Kinesia™, a wireless system for automated assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor. The current standard in evaluating PD is the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), a qualitative ranking system typically completed during an office visit. Kinesia integrates accelerometers and gyroscopes in a compact patient-worn unit to capture kinematic movement disorder features. Objectively quantifying PD manifestations with increased time resolution should aid in evaluating efficacy of treatment protocols and improve patient management. In this study, PD subjects performed the tremor subset of the UPDRS motor section while wearing Kinesia. Quantitative kinematic features were processed and highly correlated to clinician scores for rest tremor (r2 = 0.89), postural tremor (r2 = 0.90), and kinetic tremor (r2 = 0.69). The quantitative features were used to develop a mathematical model that predicted tremor severity scores for new data with low errors. Finally, PD subjects indicated high clinical acceptance. © 2009 Movement Disorder Society

Study of the day:
Is skin the metabolic envelope of the persistence of memory ?
Is skin the performative envelope of the otherness creativity ?
Is skin the envelope of the dis-re-territorializing being ?
Is skin, on its inner side, part of the plane of the metabolism

Is skin, on its outer side, part of the plane of the otherness emergence ?
Is skin, on its both sides, part of the vanishing plane of the monad creativity ?
Is skin an envelope at once mirroring and windowing ?
Is skin the only perceptible appearance of the monad, by itself and by the others ?
What's the thickness of appearances, if they all are skins enveloping monads ?

. . Skin is not "superficial" at all, as appearances are not "superficial" at all. Misleading, lying, distorting, filtering, blurring, emphasizing, mimesizing, catharsizing, ... but never "superficially", "skinning" always in depth ! It is the deepest plane of emergence of being/otherness, it is the physical boundary of the pleat of being/otherness.
Skin, on its inner side, is the monad envelope. At once, on its outer side, each monad's skin wraps the entire world, sensitively and intelligibly defining its point-of-view. The essence of the being is the otherness, the essence of the monad is the persistence of (its skin) its vanishing plane of consistency♫emergence against Entropy wanderings.

CLARINGTON -- After reports that 1,800 tonnes of fly ash from a Covanta Energy Corporation incinerator were dumped in a British Columbia landfill after failing a toxicity test, Clarington Council has sent a letter to Covanta saying it expects a "higher standard of accountability, transparency and due diligence" at the energy-from-waste facility being built in Courtice.
"What made headlines across the county is Covanta failed to disclose toxicity tests," said Councillor Corinna Traill, who brought the motion to council. "I think it's important that, as the host community, that we send the message we're not going to stand for this here."
Covanta manager of corporate communications James Regan said the company is investigating the failing test results and disagrees with calling the fly ash "toxic" because it passed one test and then failed another.
"It wouldn't be fair to say it's toxic or hazardous because nothing's been determined," said Mr. Regan.
Fly ash is the ash collected in the emissions control equipment. In Canada, fly ash must be treated before it can be sent to landfill.
Mr. Regan said Covanta does test each truck before the ash leaves the site and that those results have passed for 13 years, including the July and August loads. As a backup, a composite test is done once a month at the landfill by an outside agency and it's those July and August results that failed.
"There's obviously a discrepancy. What we're doing now is working with Vancouver to determine why that happened," said Mr. Regan, who added Covanta is looking forward to a Ministry of the Environment review of the issue. "This test has passed for 13 years without a blip. There's something askew here."
Mr. Regan said the company did have an internal reporting error that delayed the failing test results coming to light.
"We deeply regret this human error and have put redundancies in place," said Mr. Regan. "At no time was this information purposely withheld."
Mr. Regan stressed that there has been no effect on human health or the environment.
Despite the company's reassurances, local governments, agencies and residents have been concerned by the failing fly ash tests at the British Columbia incinerator.
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority board of directors passed a motion not to accept funds, sponsorship, donation or partnership from Covanta. The volunteer Energy-From-Waste, Waste Management Advisory Committee asked for additional air monitoring around the Courtice facility.
Clarington Council sent a letter said it wants to be sure the situation in British Columbia is not duplicated in Clarington.
"We're putting Covanta, and Mr. Joey Neuhoff (Covanta vice-president of business development), on notice," said Councillor Willie Woo. "We want to make sure that as a willing host community that we're aware of this, that we're going to do our utmost to hold their feet to the fire."
The Clarington facility is going through detailed design now and the finalized plans are to be approved by the Ministry of the Environment. The early plan is to treat the fly ash on site and then ship the treated ash to a landfill in New York state.
"Environmental protection is of the utmost importance to Covanta and we will continue to evaluate these processes to make sure they're 100 per cent accurate," said Mr. Regan. "We're looking forward to being a good, transparent participant of Durham-York community."

Her Turn
Why It's Time for Women to Lead in America
It's time for women to take charge, says successful businesswoman Vicki Donlan. In a spirited call to action, she covers the challenges, opportunities, prospects, and emerging roles for female leaders in a wide spectrum of fields including business, politics, education, healthcare, law, and nonprofits. Best, she buttresses her points through original interviews with women leaders in many fields--including Teresa Heinz Kerry, Chairman, Heinz Family Philanthropies; Gail Deegan, Board Member, TJX Companies and EMC; and Ann Caldwell, Chair, Commission on Women in Higher Education, American Council on Education. This book, both guide and manifesto, offers both women and men a blueprint for establishing a new model of leadership that can take advantage of the skill, passion, and wisdom of women everywhere. Familiar statistics demonstrate the continued inequality in pay between women and men, the dearth of women on the boards and in the executive suites of major corporations, and the challenges that women face in breaking down barriers in politics, science, law, healthcare, and other male-dominated professions. As Donlan reminds us, women have always had to fight to gain access to basic privileges, such as education and the right to vote. And yet, dig deeper, and the numbers are beginning to tell a different story. For example, women currently start two out of every three new businesses. Once started, women-owned businesses are more likely to be in operation at the crucial make-or-break five-year mark and less likely to be in debt than those established by men. A recent study finds that the most profitable "Fortune" 100 companies are those with women on the board, and networks are developing to raise funds for women political candidates, who are beating their male opponents with increasing regularity. In short, women have the numbers, talents, determination, and willingness to lead, and a groundswell that has the potential to result in dramatic change is building. Drawing from interviews with dozens of pioneers in business, politics, education, healthcare, philanthropy, and other fields, Donlan argues that women are poised to shatter the glass ceiling, but only if they start working together to make it happen. This is a historic time: As this book argues, if women organize more effectively, the emergence of a new model of leadership--one that includes women at the highest reaches of society--is inevitable.

A classic adventure from the creator of Drizzt!
High in the Snowflake Mountains sits the Edificant Library, a place of scholarly study for priests, bards, and others. Now from the hidden vaults beneath the library a devastating curse is unleashed, and a young cleric must battle the terrifying creatures set loose by a malevolent, consuming essence that's been released, before his own brethren turn against him. Cadderly must put his studies to the test and enter the catacombs far below to save his brothers and himself.

The If You Were A Beer Test
Their result for The If You Were A Beer Test ...
(100% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 67% genuine)
Okay, we all know Guinness is the best possible score on any "What Kind Of Beer Are You" test, so you can just go on and pat yourself on the back now. Like the world's most famous brew, you're genuine, you've got good taste, and you're sophisticated. What else can I say, except congratulations?
If your friends didn't score the same way, get ready for them to say: Guinness is too heavy; it's an acquired taste; it's too serious--and they probably think those things about you at times. But just brush 'em off. Everybody knows Guinness is the best. Cheers.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 100% on dark, higher than 79% of your peers.
They scored 67% on workingclass, higher than 39% of your peers.
They scored 67% on genuine, higher than 33% of your peers.

Eight search ideas to get to work for your business.
I'm at the launch of ad:tech Singapore and enjoying being part of something new in online marketing in a new and vibrant part of the world for me.
This has been another great reminder of the difference in search marketing practices around the planet. And it's not just due to the usual cultural and language differences. It's more about the awareness of search marketing's power.
In my previous column, "Gearing Up for Pan-Asian Search Marketing," I wrote about the Asian online marketplace and how fast it's growing. And yet search still seems to be taking the usual back seat in online marketing -- a trend I've seen before -- as it emerges and slowly grows in other geographical marketplaces.
No doubt, the notion of online marketing as an obvious must-do has been absorbed and understood across Asia. Online usage continues to increase at a staggering pace. And marketing dollars have to target that audience.
Paid search is a champion for the cause and receives a decent slice of online marketing attention. Yet, good old-fashioned SEO (define) still seems to be largely misunderstood or shrouded in mystique by mainstream marketers.
The interest level is huge, but the implementation level seems still to be a low priority compared to paid search. I've talked to marketers and representatives from various search engines across the various regions, and education is a high priority everywhere.
My company has long been involved in multinational campaigns and we've had a base in Singapore for more than two years. But we've been doing search in Asia for more than six years.
As part of our sponsorship of ad:tech launch here, our CEO came up with the idea to run our own educational sessions on search marketing at ad:tech. The sessions were eight minutes long and contained eight ideas for the audience to take away and work with.
Some ideas were new and exciting. Other ideas were common knowledge to seasoned online marketers in the U.S. Nonetheless, in an emerging market, almost everything is new, brilliant, and exciting if you had no knowledge of it before.
The eight topics we chose to cover and the ideas which attracted most discussion in the Q&A sessions were:
All of the above seemed to resonate really well with people who are becoming so passionate about search.

I have a Java program that at some point turns into 100% CPU usage and sleep state at the same time. The program is not multithreaded.
Looking around, I think the most likely cause for that is a bug or some mismatch in the way I run the java interpreter with respect to garbage collection. I can only think that the 100% CPU usage is because of GC. I am allocating enough memory for the program to run using Xmx, and the program does not run even near the amount I allocate. The amount I allocate is also much less than the total memory available on the machine.
I found this:
There were also some mentions of that on stackoverflow.com such as here:
CMS garbage collector - when does it run?
Still, I couldn't find a solution. Is this a bug in the JVM, and if so, how would I fix it?
