I have recently come across this post which says that it is possible to force a script to run in screen with a shebang. My question is, how does one do this if I want to reconnect to an existing screen session (and thus force the script to run under screen).
So, on my server, when I do
screen -list, I see:
There is a screen on:
22566.myscreen (10/26/13 23:47:09) (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-admin.
Now, I have the following bash script, and I would like the bash script to be run with the above screen session. At the moment, I have something like this:
#!/usr/bin/screen -r "myscreen" /bin/bash
# /home/foo/jobscripts/script.sh
echo $STY
git status
touch /home/foo/jobscripts/testsuccess.txt
exit 0
... but this obviously does not work and tells me
Error: Unknown option r "myscreen" /bin/bash Wondering if there was a way to specify in shebang to reattach to my above screen.

CUTE ALERT: Dad Lets His Wall Down Sings Duet With 5 Year Old [VIDEO]
This will for sure put a smile on your face.
This will for sure put a smile on your face.
Do you really think that this is as bad as Facebook says it is? Or does this woman just need to follow Facebook's policy?
Post by Jill White.
Jill White was just trying to recreate the iconic Cop
She said that dad always used to be a jokester.
Is this mother right for doing this to her son? Should she be supporting him instead of this?
This Father's Day, make sure to get dear ol' dad an extra special gift because he's taking extra special care of you these days.
Imagine explaining this to your wife!
I bet when this woman sent her son to summer camp that she had high hopes for him.
Forget anything you've ever heard -- this is the little drummer boy.
Jimmy Kimmel went to the streets a few months ago to ask kids (with, I'm sure, their parents' approval) "What the worst thing your mommy has ever said?"
Odds are you took it easy this past holiday weekend. That's what weekends and holidays are for, right? Well, if you're the type to take it easy at noon on a Tuesday, take heart -- being lazy could be inborn.
Teachers spend more time with some people's kids than the parents themselves sometimes. Think about it. They are in front of your kids for around eigh hours of the day. They are there when they're having good days and bad, and are preparing them for their future. So what do you get to tell them thank you?
You may have done this back in elementary school -- you wrote a letter in one of your classes to yourself about the future. Dale Caldwell taught 7 year olds and asked them to write a letter to themselves about ordinary things: what they wanted to be, who their best friend is, what their favorite movie is, something about their parents. Caldwell then would hold onto the letters and mail them back to them when they were about to graduate high school.

The travel journals of A.W. Quilter document his adventures in East Africa between 1909-1911, while on safari and engaging in big game hunting. These fascinating tales are now available in the Transcription Center for volunteers to read and review. While a great deal is still unknown about Quilter, for instance was he British or not, what is known from his journal was that he was a major in the military and embarked more »
The Smithsonian Libraries and Smithsonian Gardens present The Lost Bird Project, an exhibition by artist Todd McGrain, open through May 2015. This project recognizes the tragedy of modern extinction by immortalizing North American birds that have been driven to extinction. It features large-scale bronze sculptures of the Carolina parakeet, the Labrador duck, the great auk, the heath hen, and the passenger pigeon. Four of the sculptures are located in the Enid A. more »
The Smithsonian Libraries, situated at the center of the world's largest museum complex, is a vital part of the research, exhibition, and educational enterprise of the Institution. The Libraries offers exceptional research resources ranging from 13th-century manuscripts to electronic journals. We are happy to offer the following fellowship opportunities for 2015-2016.
When asked about her role as the Smithsonian Libraries' program coordinator, Susan Frampton retorts, "Well, this week I've chased down old photos of women with dead birds on their hats." The truth is, there is no ordinary day for Susan; she's like a cook who has many pots on the burner at once, and it's a lucky day when there are no stray fires to extinguish. She regularly collaborates with Libraries staff, as well as with colleagues around the Institution and beyond.
Please join us Tuesday, October 28th, for a lecture and book signing with Christopher Cokinos, author of Hope is the thing with feathers: A personal chronicle of vanished birds.
The Smithsonian Libraries has published a new Dibner Library Lecture manuscript, The Philosophical Breakfast Club and the Invention of the Scientist, by author Laura J. Snyder, associate professor of philosophy at St. John's University in New York City. Begun in 1992, the Dibner Library Lectures feature a distinguished scholar who has made significant contributions to his or her field of study. Since 2000, the Dibner Library Lecture has become available in published more »
Please join us for this free film showing and lecture! Date: Monday, September 22, 2014 – 6:00pm Location: Baird Auditorium National Museum of Natural History 10th and Constitution Ave, NW Washington, DC 20004 This event is free and open to the public.

Shake It Off: We're Not Getting a Shake Shack Any Time Soon
At least, that's what they tell us.
At least, that's what they tell us.
Grand Central gives Apple sweetest deal of all.
"There's something about eating a burger in Southern California that makes me feel like I'm in Happy Days in the fifties or something."
"It was really cool. Google's awesome. It's fun to go into a room and speak with a bunch of 14-year-old millionaires. It makes me feel very wise. And old."
If all goes as expected, the Phils will win, and Vetri's going to have dinner at Eleven Madison Park.
And there's going to be a brat-topped burger.
Schnipper's looks more attractive than it sounds.
"I love egg yolks and I eat them all the time, I just don't like them cooked. Yuck. I like runny yolks."
Oscar Mayer and Ballpark may be battling in court over who makes a better dog, but we know there are way better dogs to be had across the country.
The burger joint gets a business boost, thanks to the famous foodie's Twitter following.
The 'Times' devotes some serious ink to Mr. Hospitality.
The community board green-lit a 62-spot seating area for the upcoming location.
No, but one manager at the iconic bar is concerned about Shake Shack's lines.
Plus: Prospect Heights gets a new bar, Buttermilk Channel makes way for Tom Selleck, and more, in our daily roundup of neighborhood news.
Well, one version of the website, anyway.
Lots of doings at the rail station.
Oh, and he blames an intern for the Shack Burger photo on his restaurant's website.
So-called MilkSauce might even be better than ShackSauce!

Banrock wins Belmont's Kingston Stakes
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Banrock rolled to an easy win in his comeback Sunday, beating Mission Approved by 4 3/4 lengths in the $108,500 Kingston Stakes at Belmont Park.
In his first start since November, Banrock got a ground-saving ride from Kent Desormeaux. Banrock hugged the hedge behind the pacesetting Mission Approved, springing free in the stretch to earn a repeat victory in the Kingston for New York breds on the turf.
"The horse was full of run, it was an armchair ride," Desormeaux said. "The second-place horse leading the field died right when it was time for me to go."
Trained by Tom Bush, Banrock got his ninth win in 25 starts, earning $65,100 for Nyala Farm. The 6-year-old gelding ran the 1 1-16 miles in 1:45.68 on the soft course.
The 6-5 favorite, Banrock paid $4.70, $2.90 and $2.60. Mission Approved returned $11.60 and $6. Stormy Success paid $8.80 to show.
Solvent was fourth followed by Pennington, Icabad Crane and Giant Moon.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 30, 2012
As consumers continue to adjust their payment patterns in the wake of the Great Recession, major retailers' layaway programs appear to be gaining new traction during the 2012 holiday shopping season. Programs are attracting consumer interest beyond the demographic segments traditionally associated with layaway. The much-discussed "new frugality" of post recession consumers suggests that delayed purchasing gratification is not just a required virtue for some consumers; it may have new acceptability as a credit alternative.
"Will layaway become a fixture of the retail environment beyond today's post-recession environment, perhaps on a year-round basis? Consumers' cautious use of credit cards suggests discipline-focused layaway programs can have relevance today, especially as they overcome any downscale stigma they might retain from past incarnations. Layaway transcends our usual categorization of payments as pay-now/ pay-before/ or pay-later. This pay-before/over-time product may just replace some traditional credit card volume this holiday season, and perhaps beyond it," comments Ken Paterson, VP for Research Operations at Mercator Advisory Group and the primary author of the report.
This report reviews major retailers layaway program offerings in the context of consumer interests, and explores its potential for future growth.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
05 Jun 2010 07:04 GMT | US & Canada, United States
" />
Watch part twoWas it affirmative action, political correctness, a plot to conceal a radical agenda or just a simple beauty pageant?The new Miss USA, Lebanese-born Rima Fakih, has sparked headlines around the globe for becoming the first Arab-American Muslim to win a major beauty contest. Those who see something more sinister at work than beauty and poise claim her appearance is just a pleasant mask lulling the US into a false sense of comfort regarding the so-called 'Muslim threat'.Others say the contest was rigged to favour a Muslim candidate to promote Washington's liberal agenda.
On Wednesday's Riz Khan we speak with Miss USA, Rima Fakih, about the controversy surrounding her selection and what she hopes to achieve as she prepares to represent the US in the Miss Universe pageant.Also joining the programme is Maya Berry of the Arab American Institute.
You can join the conversation. Watch the show at 1630 GMT, with repeats at 2130, and the next day at 0230 and 1130 GMT.

First, I'd get a rig that isn't borderline peasant quality before worrying about the state of PC gaming.
I'm deployed. There was no point in me upgrading right before I left. When I get home, I'm getting a GTX 880.

To be quite honest?
Go bomb Microsoft, brainwash Sony, and force Nintendo into slave labor making their IPs for us PC gamers with much better graphics and features, because GabeN knows they can't get proper control down for the life of them.

What are you even talking about Peasant?
You can talk when you have a graphics card that isn't made from straw and mud like most peasant dwellings.
TITAN or gtfo.
Shooting blanks, every time, all the time.
Make a company that makes PC exclusives and then somehow doesn't go multiplat or generate income through other means.
It is the games that count, not how upscaled or buttery you make them.
"Now go ahead and leap ignorantly to the defense of wealthy game companies who don't know or care about you."

"I'm you, I'm your shadow!"
You have to get 40 million people into PC gaming so that gaben can claim more people are using steam than either Xbox or PlayStation.

Question about replanting a peli
terri76May 6, 2010
Last fall I brought in a beautiful dark fusia colored peli that stayed in a west window. This spring it began growing but I didn't trim it like I should have. So now I have a single stem that comes out of the pot which is 5 inches long and then splits into 2 stems. It has some beautiful growth on the stems that split so I hate to cut it all the way back.(I will if I have to) My question is "can I replant it in a deep pot so that the dirt will come up to just where the plant splits?"

When I first got a sample of this I thought 'This is the difference between men and women: you create an exfoliating scrub for women you focus on gentle, organic, natural moisturizing ingredients. With men you can simply say "Here is some dirt to rub on your face to scrape away your dead skin."'
While I really like this product, I have learned since purchasing it that the plastic "sand" they use is actually causing problems for water treatment plants and fish so, sadly, until they reformulate the product with something like actual sand I will not be purchasing this again. A real disappointment, but such is life.
This was one of the few products that I liked in my box this month. It is really effective at cleansing my face, and it isn't too abrasive. And, my skin felt and looked pretty good afterward. The sample size is good as I've gotten several washes out of it. I would buy this product.4

Only 65 firemen to protect city, almost 70% above 50 yrs of age
Top Stories

- Hooda govt bent rules to favour Robert Vadra firm: CAG
As per the Ludhiana Fire Department, keeping in mind the growing population of the city, over 400 firemen are needed to keep the city safe. Shockingly, the city currently has just 65 firemen working with 13 fire brigades, with most of the firemen being above the age of 50. In addition to this massive shortage, the recruitment files of over 65 eligible and fit firemen have been gathering dust for the past two years.
On being contacted, Ludhiana MC Commissioner, R K Verma said, "I am not aware of the files of 65 firemen if any, but yes we do realise the shortage of the staff not only in fire brigade but every where. Fire department comes under essential services, so recruitment here will be done at top priority." Verma added that he will check regarding the pending files, if any, and that they were in the process of advertising new vacancies for the fire department.
Of the 65 men currently serving under the fire department, 45 men are above the age of 40 or 50 and suffering from various ailments like lung disease, heart problem and other life-style diseases. The age factor has proven to be a major liability on many occasions including the fire incident at Gulchaman Gali where firemen were taken to task by the residents and they had to chip in to get the rescue work done quickly. In many instances, the drivers of the fire engine has to lend a hand to extinguish the fire.
It needs to be mentioned that about two years back, a massive drive was conducted to recruit firemen. Around 65 were selected in the drive after they cleared the physical test and interviews, but the recruitment has not been done till date because of various 'political pressures'.

Welcome to Gramen Farm
We've been in business for 15 years and we are passionate about offering healthy alternatives to store bought, mass produced food.
Gramen Farm provides all natural grass fed dairy products on its 32 acres.
Our animals are fed WITHOUT the following:
- corn
- soy
- cottonseed
- BT toxin, Glyphosate(Round up Ready)
- pesticides
- chemicals
- hormones
All of which are found in most other dairy products in retail stores today. We feel the above contribute directly to our children developing leaky gut and other ailments. In addition, our milk is not homogenized or processed with additives in any way. Due to our technique at the farm we have found our children are no longer ailing or lactose intolerant. Our family and yours can now enjoy the wonderful nutritional benefits of grass fed milk and dairy products without containing anything harmful.
Our chickens are pasture raised for both eggs and meat and are not fed soy or any other feeds we feel are harmful. Our grass fed Angus and Brangus beef, Hampshire lamb, and naturally fed Berkshire and large Blacks pork are produced and processed as humanely as is possible.
Our employees have a love for animals and are trained to live and eat as natural and healthy as possible.
We at Gramen Farm have learned first hand what it is like to find out the hard way that our food is literally killing us slowly. We will continue to work hard and develop in such a way to bring the highest quality nutrition to you at the fairest price.
Change your health today, come visit or emails us at Gramen Farm Creamery and Market where we will answer your questions and take care of you the best we can.

Wall Street's turmoil tests McCain
Obama goes on the attack with a new ad, while the GOP candidate calls for an investigation.
Chris Carlson/AP
With Wall Street embroiled in crisis, both major presidential candidates have jumped to the fore with proposals.
John McCain, the Republican, faces the tougher challenge. Fairly or not, as the nominee of the party controlling the White House, Senator McCain faces the prospect of guilt by association. McCain spoke on seven morning talk shows Tuesday, proposing a 9/11-commission-like investigation into what has led to the string of collapses of major financial institutions.
"This is a result of excess and greed and corruption," McCain said on MSNBC. "And that's exactly what is plaguing Americans today. And we got to fix it and we've got to update our regulatory system. We have to have a 9/11 commission to find out what went wrong and to fix what's going to happen in the future so this never, ever happens again."
Barack Obama, the Democrat, had billed an appearance in Golden, Colo., Tuesday as a speech focused on "his plans to revamp our regulatory framework, push back against special interests, and grow the American economy," according to his campaign.
But the headline out of the speech was his rejection of McCain's idea for a commission, calling it "the oldest Washington stunt in the book."

New Delhi: India will make a strong pitch
for securing a full membership of the elite Nuclear Suppliers
Group (NSG) during the visit of Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao
to the US, which has already pledged its support for New
Rao, who is leaving tonight, intends to discuss with the
US how to take forward the process of securing the full
membership of NSG, officials said here.
During his visit to India last November, US President
Barack Obama had committed support for India`s full membership
in NSG and other multilateral export control regimes. The US
move finally opened a door for the country to transcend the
legal confines of a treaty that has defined global attitudes
towards nuclear weapons for over four decades -- the NPT.
India has termed the US step to remove ISRO and DRDO from
the entities list last month as "important" with the officials
maintaining that Washington was looking at removing hurdles in
high-tech trade with the country as per its commitment.
Continuing its cooperation in the field, US Commerce
Secretary Gary Locke recently visited the country and was
accompanied by delegates from 24 companies, promoting
technologies and services related to civil nuclear energy,
civil aviation, defence, homeland security and communications.
"We have made important progress this week, not just to
lay the groundwork for more sales of US goods in India, but to
take another real step towards strengthening the bonds between
the governments, the businesses and the people of India and
the US," Locke had said yesterday in Mumbai.
Locke, who was here on a high-technology trade mission,
announced during President Obama`s trip, visited three cities
-- New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.
During her stay, the Foreign Secretary will also speak
tomorrow at the New School in New York on India-China.

Anyone been to Marriage Counseling?
DH & I have been married less than a year and it has seemed like an uphill battle from the beginning.
Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Mild Clinical Depression, and have recently gone back into counseling and drug therapy, after a 3-year absence (BAD idea, BTW).
With the things that I have discussed with my counselor, he has suggested that DH & I begin marriage counseling, to which DH has agreed to.
I will begin calling on Monday to make an appt, but I was wondering what to expect. Has anyone ever been? Did it help make things better? Thanks in advance for any info.
i have never been but i have a friend who went when her husband came back from overseas, she says it really help get there marriage back on track, they found a councellor that they were both confortable with and she said this is very important. so GOOD LUCK
Toni, DH and I went after about 1.5 years of marriage. (We have now been married 17+years) The first session is usually an inventory of your past year. What bothers you, have there been any major upheavels in your life (birth, death, job change). THis will help the counselor find out where to concentrate. For example if one stress area is money, they can help budgeting. Ours (as I'm sure most really) turned to more "Learn how to TALK to each other" and "Learn how to LISTEN to each other". We learned to talk so we'd both (usually) listen. We learned that we learned from out parents - Good and Bad. It was HARD WORK. But since your DH is willing to go, and if both of you WORK on the assignments (yes there is usually assignments and homework), it will do wonders for each of you.
Good luck
it can only help! DH and i have both been to counseling, but not together...i think if we'd gone together, we would have been communicating better sooner than we did, but we are communicating better and that is so very important...that, and fair compromise because without compromise, there is no marriage...

This invention presents a novel receiver architecture for full-duplex multi-level PAM systems. The receiver employs an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that has a sample rate flexibly specified as (Ns+1)/Ns baud rate where Ns is an integer equal or greater than 1. A fractional-spaced echo canceller is used to cancel the echo at the ADC output. The use of a fractional sampling rate higher than the baud rate also enables the timing recovery function be implemented in the digital domain and hence eliminates the need of using the complex analog phase selection circuit. The receiver is also capable of fast, blind start-up by use of a decision feedback equalizer with unity main tap and a soft level slicer. The timing phase can be optimally located using a derivative channel estimator. Once the "eye-open" condition is achieved, the channel equalization is switched to the use of linear equalizer coupled with an error feedback equalizer to alleviate the error propagation problem associated with the decision feedback equalizer.
1. A receiver applicable in a full-duplex multi-level (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) PAM transceiver for receiving and demodulating an analog signal transmitted at a baud rate by a remote transmitter, comprising:
an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) for converting the received analog signal to a digital sample at a fractional baud rate;
a digital resampler for converting the fractional baud rate sample with an arbitrary timing phase into a baud rate data sample and a baud rate derivative sample, both at an optimal timing phase;
an equalization unit receiving the baud rate data sample so as to adaptively Perform channel equalization at baud rate; and
a timing recovery feedback unit for locating the optimal timing phase by receiving the baud rate derivative sample and an output from the equalization unit and outputting an estimate of the timing phase back to the digital resampler.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for demodulating a full-duplex multi-level PAM system, more particularly, an apparatus and method for demodulating a full-duplex multi-level PAM system applicable in a full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet transceiver.
Various receiver architectures for a full-duplex multi-level PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) with applications in Gigabit Ethernet transceiver implementation have been proposed in, for example, an U.S. patent entitled "Multi-Pair Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver" by Agazzi et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 6,771,752), an U.S. patent entitled "Symbol Encoding and Decoding Architecture for Trellis-Coded Modulation in Gigabit Ethernet" by Bhoja (U.S. Pat. No. 6,731,692) and a publication entitled "The IntelliRate Architecture" by Agere Systems in 2003. All of these architectures employ a sample rate that equals exactly the baud-rate (fb) or twice the baud-rate (2fb). The use of baud rate sampling requires that the receiving signal be sampled at the optimum timing phase location at the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) output, and thus requires complex phase selection circuit in the analog domain. As pointed out in the above paper titled "The IntelliRate Architecture", the analog phase selection circuit can be removed by doubling the speed of the ADC and by using a digital equalizer to compensate for both the timing phase misalignment and channel distortion. Although removing the phase selection circuit reduces the analog circuit complexity, the use of a double speed ADC inevitably increases the ADC complexity. For example, the baud rate of Gigabit Ethernet is 125 MHz and the realization of a 250 MHz ADC with high bit resolution is very demanding. Thus, there is a need for receiver architecture with flexible sampling rate that eliminates the use of a complex analog phase selection circuit without doubling the speed of the ADC.
Moreover, for a full-duplex PAM system, a portion of the transmitting signal echoes back from the hybrid circuit to the receiver front-end. This echo must be cancelled before the receiving signal can be demodulated, such problem is addressed for example in a paper called ""An Echo Cancellation Based 4800 Bit/s Full-Duplex DDD Modem" by Werner, J.-J. in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications in 1984. For the conventional baud rate receiver structure, such as the one disclosed in the above paper, a baud-rate digital echo canceller is used to cancel the echo after the ADC. This can be replaced by a fractional baud rate digital echo canceller for the underlining receiver architecture. The fractional baud-rate echo canceller has the capability of removing out-of-band noise coupled with the echo and thus offers better noise rejection performance over the baud-rate echo canceller
After the echo is cancelled, the receiving signal must be sampled at the correct timing phase before channel equalization can be performed in order to obtain optimum signal-to-noise performance at the equalizer output. At the start-up stage of the receiver, the receiver is totally "blind" in that it does not sample the signal at the correct timing neither does it have the correct equalizer coefficients to equalize the channel distortion. Conventional approach uses a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with a soft level slicer to effectively achieve a "blind" start-up, but such construction possesses the error propagation problem as a result of decision error when the receiver operates under more severe noise environment. Prior work has been proposed to reduce this error effect by combing the DFE with a Viterbi decoder, such as in a paper by Erich F. Haratsch, titled ""A 1-Gb/s Joint Equalizer and Trellis Decoder for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet" of IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits in 2001 and in the two previously mentioned U.S. patents (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,771,752 and 6,731,692). However, this implementation of combining the DFE with a Viterbi decoder is nonetheless complex. Thus, there is a further need for a fast "blind" start-up equalization in a receiver while at the same time addressing the error propagation problem associated with the traditional DFE.
This invention presents a receiver structure that employs an ADC with (Ns+1)/Ns·fb rate to sample the analog receive signal plus echo at a receiving end of a hybrid circuit. An (Ns+1)/Ns fractional-spaced digital echo canceller is used to cancel the echo at the ADC output. The echo canceller is driven by local transmit symbols from a transmitter operating at the baud rate sampling clock. The coefficients of the echo canceller are adaptively adjusted to minimize the echo residual using a Least-Mean-Square (LMS) adaptive algorithm.
After the echo is removed from the receiving signal, a digital resampler is used to adjust the timing phase to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio at the equalizer output where the optimum timing phase is iteratively computed from a timing recovery phase-locked (PLL) feedback loop. By properly scaling the phase in the timing recovery PLL feedback loop, the digital resampler also effectively converts the sample rate from (Ns+1)/Ns·fb to fb so that the channel equalization can be operated under baud rate. The use of baud rate equalizer is simpler and its performance is close to a more complicated fractional-spaced equalizer provided that the optimal timing phase can be recovered from the timing recovery PLL feedback loop. Since both the timing recovery PLL loop and the resampler are implemented digitally, the baud rate samples can be regenerated accurately with the optimum timing phase and hence the baud-rate equalizer performance can be guaranteed. The digital resampler comprises a FIR polynomial structure that is capable of computing corresponding derivate sample with the same timing simultaneously. The derivative sample sequence contains timing information that can be effectively extracted by use of a derivative channel estimator that linearly combines a slicer output to approximate the sequence in a Least-Mean-Square sense. Timing phase error is then derived from the derivative channel estimator coefficients where zero timing error is defined statistically when the first order derivative of the channel response at a main cursor location is driven to zero. This timing phase error is fed to the timing recovery PLL circuit to generate an estimate of the optimum timing phase location. The timing recovery PLL loop is closed by feeding back the new timing phase estimate to the digital resampler so that the baud rate sample and derivative sample associated with this new timing phase are generated for use in the equalization and derivative channel estimator, respectively, in the next iteration.
The channel equalization for this receiver operates in two modes. The first mode, referred to as the Start-Up Blind Equalization (BEQ), uses a decision feedback equalizer with a soft level slicer to ensure fast "blind" start-up. The convergence of the decision feedback equalizer and the derivative channel estimator depends heavily on the probability of correct decision at the slicer output. The fast "blind" start-up can be achieved by use of a unity weighing coefficient for the main cursor tap and a soft level slicer that employs the a priori information about the probability of each level of PAM being transmitted at the remote transmitter end. This probability information is used to adaptively adjust the decision boundary of the soft level slicer to ensure that the probability of correct decision is maintained at an acceptable level. With the 3-level PAM being used in the training mode of the Gigabit Ethernet, consistent fast "blind" start-up are observed for both short and long cable lengths. To alleviate the error propagation problem associated with the DFE, the channel equalization switches to the second mode, referred to as the Linear Equalization After Eye-Open (LEQ), which employs a linear equalizer (LEQ) cascaded with an error feedback equalizer (EFE). Once the convergence of the DFE and the timing loop is observed, the LEQ branch becomes active and both the LEQ and EFE coefficients are trained. At the beginning of this training, the hard level slicer in the LEQ branch will not generate correct decision at an acceptable probability. As such, the BEQ branch will remain active and the soft level slicer output is used to compute the slicer error for the LEQ branch to update the equalizer coefficients. Once the hard level slicer output is detected to generate correct decision at an acceptable probability, the BEQ branch can cease operation and the LEQ branch will enter the decision-directed operation that uses the hard level slicer output to compute the slicer error. The role of the EFE is to compensate for the noise enhancement generated by the linear equalizer. Although an incorrect slicer decision will also affect the performance of the EFE, this error propagation problem is much lessened compared to the DFE approach in that the length of the EFE is generally short and a hard limiter can be employed to limit the slicer error before feeding to the EFE.
As shown in
The BEQ branch 16 comprises a decision feedback equalizer 161 and soft level slicer 162, whereas the LEQ branch 17 comprises a linear equalizer 171, an error feedback equalizer 172, a hard level slicer 173 and an error level hard limiter 174. Both of these branches will be described in details later.
The sample rate of the ADC 11 is flexibly specified as (Ns+1)/Ns times the baud rate, where Ns is an integer greater than or equal to one. Thus, the sample rate equals 2× baud rate when Ns is selected as 1, while it equals baud rate as Ns goes to positive infinite. By choosing Ns in the range of (1, ∞), the architecture employs a fractional baud rate sampling that is between fb and 2fb. The over-sampling factor offered by the use of a fractional baud rate allows the timing phase selection being performed in the digital domain, thus removing the analog phase selection circuit without the need of doubling the speed of the ADC. With the flexibility of specifying Ns as a parameter, a suitable ADC speed falling between the baud rate and twice the baud rate can be specified to achieve the best design trade-off to reduce the analog circuit complexity. For example, if Ns is selected as 5 the ADC speed requirement for the presented architecture is 150 MHz for the Gigabit Ethernet, which is significantly lower than the 250 MHz required in the receiver with 2fb sampling rate while having the benefit of not requiring a complex analog phase selection circuit.
As in the Gigabit Ethernet, the transceiver distinguishes itself as the master or slave modes. For a master mode transceiver, its local clock is used as the timing reference for the full-duplex system. The slave mode transceiver has to use this timing reference to transmit and receive symbols. Due to this distinction, the training sequence for the master and slave modes differs in the order of which the echo canceller, equalizer and timing recovery are trained as shown in
In this BEQ training mode, the digital resampler 13, the decision feedback equalizer 171, the soft level slicer 172, the derivative channel estimator 19, the timing recovery PLL circuit 15 work jointly to converge to the "eye-open" condition during BEQ training stage. As shown in
The data sample y(n) is then fed to the equalizer section and the derivative sample y′(n) to the derivative channel estimator 19.
As shown in
The soft level slicer decision boundary is set to {0, ±A(n), ±2A(n), K}. The setting of A(n) can be easily perceived by assuming three-level PAM {−A(n), 0, A(n)} and the generalization to more levels is trivial. At the initial condition, A(n) is set to a nominal value such that the decision level equals to a hard level slicer. The number of slicer output points that fall in the range [−A(n) A(n)] is counted and the number of slicer output points that fall out of this range is also counted. The a prior information about the probability of the remote transmit symbols falling within and out of this range are used to determine whether A(n) should be increased or decreased so that the number of slicer output points fall within and out of this range closely match the probability distribution at the remote side. The increment or decrement of A(n) is controlled by a simple step size ΔA(n), which can be set to a small value to ensure stability. Note that the adjustment of this decision level is only used to decide the mapping of the slicer input to one of the remote transmit symbol levels. The slicer output ă(n) is still set at the nominal value for each level to ensure that a proper slicer error is computed. The slicer output ă(n) is then fed to the 2-to-1 multiplexer 18, and during this training stage SLICER_SEL=SOFT which implies a(n)=ă(n). The slicer error, computed as s(n)-a(n), is used to update the feed forward and feedback coefficients as follows:
The slicer output a(n) is also used to estimate the channel derivative as shown in
As shown in
After the blind equalization and timing converge to the "eye-open" condition, i.e., the slicer essentially reproduces a delay version of the remote transmitting symbol sequence, the master mode receiver can directly switch to train the linear equalizer and error feedback equalizer coefficients. For the slave mode receiver, it is necessary to continue to train the timing loop so that the frequency offset (the baud rate discrepancy between the remote transmitter and the local receiver that may have up to ±100 PPM for the Gigabit Ethernet) can be learned within an acceptable level. Effectively, this frequency offset can be observed from the delay unit in the lower branch of the second-order loop filter 151 in the timing recovery PLL circuit 15 as shown in
Referring back to
It should be noted that the error feedback equalizer (EFE) 172 is different than the predictive-noise approach described in the U.S. patent (U.S. Pat. No. 5,784,415) and the publication authored by Eybuoglu, M. V. As shown in
The present invention has been described with specific embodiments above. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above description is only illustrative of specific embodiments and examples of the present invention. The present invention should therefore cover various modifications and variations made to the herein-described architecture and operations of the present invention, provided they fall within the scope of the present invention as defined in the following appended claims.
