Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
ASK JOURNEYS: Now you can travel with a Hotel Inspector
EARLY in the year, the dates that fill up least quickly are March departures, with the exception of spring break.
Tour operators frequently use those dates as promotional lower-priced lead-ins in advertising to motivate people to start booking their winter packages.
No such motivation is needed today as last-minute flights are gobbled up by those wanting to end winter and those who recognize a good deal when they see one.
But readers' questions are seldom confined to the current travel season, as this week's inquiries prove.
QUESTION: As a frequent traveller, I often worry about the hotels I stay in with regards to cleanliness.
Sometimes the lack of proper housekeeping is obvious but things like bedbugs, improperly washed glasses or other even worse items (like unwashed bedding) are not that easy to identify.
How can one know for certain they are walking into a genuinely clean and disinfected room?
ANSWER: As a frequent traveller myself, there is no harm in asking about the housekeeping procedures of the property or chain.
In a chain, the procedures are most often the same from property to property so go with the one that you find is the best and is proven out by your continued loyalty and inspection.
However, a new product was recently introduced that may really be a boon to travellers of all kinds.
Branded as the Hotel Inspector, the product is a small flashlight-looking unit that is able to detect stains and other matter the naked eye cannot see.
Hotel Inspector has built-in ultraviolet light technology that will spot urine, feces, vomit and even semen on sheets, towels and other surfaces such as carpeting.
I have yet to see this product since its recent introduction but it is a small unit that can fit in a purse or computer case and is light enough to be stored for every trip in your suitcase or carry-on.
Apparently, the technology works because many of these biologically undesirable materials appear under the light as different colour glows depending upon what it is.
For example urine, saliva and semen show up as a chartreuse or bright yellow while bloodstains will appear as nearly black.
Whether it is in rooms on a cruise ship, resort property or business hotel, the product is likely to be one that, according to the inventor, responsible owners and managers will use for their own inspections.
QUESTION: In a recent column, you extolled the virtues of visiting Croatia.
We are thinking of going there this summer and exploring this region of the world we have never seen. Is it an expensive destination to visit?
ANSWER: Up until now I would suggest it has been a moderately priced vacation destination.
Two things have recently occurred that could affect pricing, one that could drive prices up, the other that could stabilize them.
Croatia has been admitted into the EU and that alone is forecasted to motivate significant increases in bookings to this nation.
However, the balancing point may come with the Croatian announcement of a 15 per cent sales tax cut on tourist services, which only came into effect at the start of this year.
With more than a thousand islands to visit and a couple of the most outstanding urban destinations in the world, the government is feeling very bullish about its tourist future.
Some suggest they can compete with places like Spain, Portugal and Turkey for available tourist dollars. I was surprised to find Croatia could compete as a sunshine state with over 2,700 hours per year reflecting warm memories on the people who chose to visit there.
QUESTION: When we travel we often take advantage of tax rebates offered by the various countries we are in.
Is it correct that Canada, which to me is a highly taxed country to start with, does not offer these rebates to foreign visitors?
ANSWER: The entire tax approach to tourism by our federal and provincial governments have been a thorn in the side of tourism marketing professionals in Canada for a very long time.
We are the only G8 country with a value-added tax that does not offer a whole or partial rebate to those who chose to visit here and spend money on the products they purchase here to take back home with them.
Federal public policy in the area has been particularly atrocious with what the industry describes as consistent and often expanding excessive taxes, fees and levies.
Recent surveys have shown the image of Canada is very positive and we are a country whose people visitors are really happy to interact with.
In a recent presentation by the Economic Club of Canada, it said uncompetitive travel and tourism policies are one of Canada's top barriers to competitiveness for 2013.
They point out as well we are not meeting marketing needs with international marketing investments. They insist they are just not competitive enough to achieve the desired conversion results we require to sustain the growth we are capable of achieving.
Unfortunately, even with all the work that was put into the report, like others in the past, it will sit like a broken record heard too many times that the governments just don't want to listen to.

The Eurogroup meets on Monday for the third time in as many weeks to discuss Greece's finances. Maybe third time's the charm?
The focus remains on getting an agreement on the country's medium-term debt sustainability. The reason for that is two-fold. First, it's necessary to appease the IMF given its insistence on a haircut (which is politically very difficult for many of the member countries). Second, with the German elections taking place next September, it's seen as best for all concerned to agree some sort of solution that will allow the question of Greece's longer-term sustainability to be ignored until late 2013.

EDMONTON - Here's a workout that allows you to exercise longer and harder without injury and without breaking a sweat. Trust us, we're not all wet on this one.
Many people don't take advantage of water fitness because they're afraid of water, they don't think it's effective exactly because you don't sweat, and because they see a lot older people do it, says Lorraine Gemmell, an aquafit instructor at the Don Wheaton YMCA.
For some, having to wear a bathing suit is the issue, if they're carrying a few extra pounds, but aquafit or aquacise will soon melt those pounds away.
If there's a one-exercise-program-for-all, you'll find it in water.
It's a challenging way for athletes to cross-train: the deeper the water the harder the workout. It's a great way for sedentary couch potatoes to start exercising again without hurting themselves. And because of the buoyancy of water it's low impact, allowing people recovering from injuries or with joint issues to keep moving painfree.
"Even to just jog in water increases the intensity of your workout," Gemmell says.
If you're afraid of the pool because you don't know how to swim, start in the shallow end.

Immigration surge traced to measure on child traffickingJuly 12, 2014 10:56 PM
Share with others:
WASHINGTON -- It was one of the final pieces of legislation signed into law by President George W. Bush before he left office, a measure that passed without controversy, along with a pension bill and another one calling for national parks to be commemorated on quarters.
"This is a piece of legislation we're very proud to sign," a White House spokesman, Tony Fratto, told reporters on Dec. 23, 2008, as the president put his pen to the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, named for a 19th-century British abolitionist. "This program has been very effective around the world in trying to stop trafficking in persons."
Now, the legislation, enacted quietly during the transition to the Obama administration, is at the root of the potentially calamitous flow of unaccompanied minors to the nation's southern border.
Originally pushed by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers as well as by evangelical groups to combat sex trafficking, the bill gave substantial new protections to children entering the country alone who were not from Mexico or Canada, by prohibiting them from being quickly sent back to their country of origin.
Instead, it required that they be given an opportunity to appear at an immigration hearing and consult with an advocate, and it recommended that they have access to counsel. It also required that they be turned over to the care of the Department of Health and Human Services, and the agency was directed to place the minor "in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child" and to explore reuniting those children with family members.
The Obama administration says the law is partly responsible for tying its hands in dealing with the current influx of children. About 52,000 minors without their parents have been caught at the Southwest border since October.
"Giving the secretary of homeland security additional authority and discretion that he can use to confront that situation more efficiently, making sure that we are acknowledging the humanitarian issues that are at stake while also enforcing the law, is a priority," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said last week. "It's the priority of this administration, and if you listen to the public comments of Democrats and Republicans, it sounds like it's a bipartisan priority."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who helped write the measure, said the White House does not need new power to act. "That law already provides the administration with flexibility to accelerate the judicial process in times of crisis," she said. "The administration should use that flexibility to speed up the system, while still treating these children humanely, with compassion and respect."
On Capitol Hill, Democrats said they expected that the administration's initial request for border money would not push for changes in the trafficking law, but that the White House would try to work with relevant congressional committees to win revisions eventually.
Democrats have shown reluctance to endorse narrow immigration law changes after House Republicans balked at a much more sweeping overhaul and seem hesitant to tinker too much with the William Wilberforce Act.
In a recent letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Congress must ensure that the provisions of the trafficking victims act, "which passed the House and Senate unanimously and was also signed into law by President Bush, are fully enforced, so that due process is provided to unaccompanied children and the safety and well-being of unaccompanied children is protected."
Republicans, who are calling for changes that would make it easier to send them back, blame President Barack Obama for the surge of children at the border, saying he provided a lure by instituting a program that deferred deportations for some immigrants who entered the nation illegally as children. They say the effort to point to the Bush-era law is meant to deflect attention from the administration and make both parties culpable.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., a chief backer of the original bill, said multiple factors contributed to the crisis, including "exploitation of our laws, the ungoverned space in Central America, as well as the desperate poverty faced by those deciding to cross. With all these factors in mind, it's hard to think that today's situation at the border can be directly attributed to a law that's been in effect now for six years," he said.
What many can agree on is that the Wilberforce law was not enacted with the idea of dealing with the current flow of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors or providing an incentive for children to reach the border.
"It is classic unintended consequences," said Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute. "This was certainly not what was envisioned."
Immigration advocates say they see no need for changes in the law, and that the Obama administration should be able to work within the existing framework to bring some order under a law that is working to meet its original purpose.
"First and foremost," said Wendy Young, president of Kids in Need of Defense, who was an immigration adviser to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., at the time of the bill's passage, "there was a recognition that these kids are incredibly vulnerable when they are moving across international borders alone."

Carry On My Wayard Son
It takes arena-size balls to be in a cover band that plays music most people thought was really uncool the first time around. Atlanta's Yacht Rock Revue – all seven of them – pay unironic tribute to not one but a whole "Time Life Infomercial Catalogue" of soft rock artists whose feathered hair, full beards and leisure suits were the reasons punk rock in America was invented. But don't blame YRR. The genre crept back into pop culture's consciousness thanks to L.A.'s J.D. Ryznar and his hilarious 2005 YouTube mockumentary, Yacht Rock, which satirized "California vagina sailors" and their ilk – AM gods like Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Toto and Michael McDonald-era Doobie Brothers. (Can you imagine if the beef between Hall & Oates and Loggins and Messina had really existed? Bedlum). The comedy troupe also goes by the stage aliases Please PleaseRock Me (The Beatles), Uno Dos Tres Catorce (U2) and Nigels with Attitude (XTC). And for street cred, the band claims to have jammed on stage with Billy Joel, Sheryl Crowe, Don Henley, Joan Jett and members of Weezer. Think they'll help you get laid tonight. What a fool believes.

He also said that he was ready to visit Tymoshenko on August 11. The diplomat told journalists in Dnipropetrovsk that if the penitentiary service permits such a meeting, he would meet with Tymoshenko in Kharkiv tomorrow.
He added that he has been trying to meet with Tymoshenko since the moment of her arrest.
Earlier, the penitentiary service said that Tymoshenko insisted on a meeting with Teixeira despite the recent recommendation of her doctors to refrain from having meetings.

Has anyone here used a Bose wave music system? I am interested in the one with the multiple CD changer. Is the sound any better than a regular radio. The size and the CD changer is what I am interested, it also plays MP3s.
One other question. I was told by someone that you can download your camera photos to the ipod while working away from your computer. Is this possible? Thanks
No experience with the first item.
The second is do-able. You need either one of the newer "photo" iPods or you can use your favorite Web search engine to search for the words download digital photos ipod and find some software which may be able to do the job for you, depending on your model of iPod and digital camera.
We've had a Bose Wave for six years. The sound is excellent. Much better than a standard stereo and rivals many of my friends sound systems. (Having said that, I am sure a music connoisseur would tell you where fault lies) O
Our model is a single cd with radio version. It has no bass or treble control it just works.
Thanks broadwinged,
Steve, I did some research and Apple said that there would soon be a wire, connector...whatever to download from a digital camera to the photo Ipod. I could not find a "photo Ipod" listed on their site, so maybe it is any Ipod that stores photos like most do with music.

Roofer recommendations - Rockville,MD area and other qns..
Hi -
Looks like the 2010 winter snow and yesterday's storm has taken a toll on our 22yr-old roof which has begun a leak.
AAA) We were looking for a local Rockville/Montgomery county area roofer - any recommendations would be welcome.
BBB) Not sure whether we should locate the leak, patch and correct or go for a new roof.
CCC) If new, not sure whether solar's still too early/experimental to try - whether there may be tax/other incentives that will make it worth it..
And finally (!!)
DDD) Not sure whether insurance will pick up any of the tab...
What do y'all think??
With a 22 y.o. roof, tear it off and replace it.
Ask neighbors for references; get two or three bids.
I doubt insurance would cover much, if any of it.
What type of solar system are you wondering about? Some are experimental while others have been around a while.
Ask the contractor about tax advantages for the various products.
We used Marshall Roofing, Very good company and they are also going to do my parents roof. They were quick and very straight forward with everything. You will get a typed written estimate, before they leave. Also, they don't hesitate to tell you if you don't need a new roof, they said my parents can go another 3-5 years before it needs to be replaced.
If you have any questions, let me know.
I am not affiliated with them, just a very happy customer.
Ps I live in g'burg...

The Durango Dharma Center (DDC) was formed in 1991 by a few individuals desiring support in their sitting practice. It is now home to many meditators of all levels of practice with classes for beginner's, families, and those interested in deeper study of the Buddha's teachings. The DDC is Vipassana (Insight) oriented but welcomes meditators of any tradition.
Taught By
Wednesdays, 4/15, 4/29, 5/6, 5/13, 6-8:00 pm
This class will explore the enormous stress that comes with trying to be "someone" and how this habitual tendency causes suffering and becomes a substitute for knowing the deepest nature of our minds and hearts. With sustained mindful attention, we can greet the activity of self, not as a problem but as an ally in our journey to greater happiness and well-being. We will delve into Buddhist teachings to learn how this sense of self arises and passes away due to conditions. By bringing awareness, curiosity, and lovingkindness to the phenomena we call self, we can experience a liberating shift in perception that leads to clear-seeing and compassion.
The class will utilize Dharma teaching, small group experience, assigned readings and guided meditation to support our learning. It is required that you have at least a 5-day residential retreat or equivalent practice experience as a prerequisite for the class. Please contact Bill (email@example.com) if you have questions.
Class held at Durango Dharma Center, 208 CR 250, at the intersection of 32nd Street and CR 250 (East Animas Rd). Registration fee supports the Durango Dharma Center, but there will be an opportunity to offer dana in support of the teachers.
Nobody turned away for lack of funds. Scholarships are available, just ask. If you wish financial assistance please contact the registrar before you register.

4. Riding Mower or ATV Pin Hitch Kit $249.95
Our coops come standard with wheelbarrow style handles to move around your yard. However, if you are unable to move heavy loads we offer a trailer hitch attachment for your coop to assist you in moving your coop around the yard. It is built with 1" box steel or 2" angle iron and bolts directly to the bottom of the coop. Optional 1 7/8 ball mount hitch available. Comes with a side crank trailer jack mounted to the coop to assist you in attaching the coop to your riding mower or ATV.
5. Automatic Waterer $49.95
6. Retractable Wheels $199.95
We offer the option of retractable wheels that allows your coop to sit flush to the ground if your yard is level and gives you the convenience of greater ground clearance when moving the coop. Simply pull the handle on each side and lock the wheels in place to move the coop.

The accessible room that we had was very nice, but the bathroom mirror was so high that a person in a wheelchair (like me) could not see to get ready in the morning or evening. Very frustrating. Breakfast was very mediocre. Walk a few blocks to the downtown area and enjoy better quality for less money.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
R. H. MATHES MULTIPLE SWEEP Filed Feb. 2, 1951 LET-.jf
Dec. 24, 1957 btates The present invention relates to a novel pulse echodetection system.
In systems wherein the range of various objects is determined by the difference in time occurring between the time of transmission of a pulse of energy and reception of the echo pulse measured by means of a cathode ray tube indicator, the more echo pulses which can be received from a given object per unit time the more accurate the target information will be with respect to the position of a moving target.
More echo pulses per unit time can be obtained, of course, by increasing the pulse repetition rate of the transmitted pulses. A point is reached however where the vecho pulses resulting from one transmitted pulse return from a desired range after the next successive pulse is transmitted. This presents diliculties in the conventional echo indicating system since an echo pulse from a subsequent transmitted pulse may return with the echo pulses from the previous pulse which result in an ambiguous cathode ray tube pattern.
One object of the present invention is therefore to provide a novel pulse echo detection system utilizing the cathode ray tube type indication system wherein echoes resulting from successively transmitted pulses may be readily discerned.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel pulse echo detection system which enables using a higher transmitted pulse repetition rate without echo pulse ambiguity.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel pulse echo detection system wherein the system is more responsive to sudden target position changes, allows detection from greater ranges, and results in better target definition.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the disclosure to follow and the drawings wherein:
Fig. la is diagram showing the pulse cycle of the conventional pulse echo system.
Fig. 1b is a diagram of the pulse cycle used with the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram respectively of the transmitter and receiving circuit used with the present invention.
Fig. 3 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the gate circuit shown in Fig. lb.
Basically the present invention comprises the combination of means for periodically transmitting a series of equally time spaced pulses and wherein each adjacent pulse has a different carrier frequency, a cathode ray tube indicating means provided with a beam sweep initiated by and in isochronism with each transmitted pulse, a band pass filter for each carrier frequency, means for coupling the output of each filter to the signal input terminal of the cathode ray tube and gating means for rendering the said coupling means successively operative to couple the output of each filter to said cathode ray tube for a given predetermined interval of time after each transmitted pulse.
Referring now to the drawings where indentical reference numbers refer to like elements, Fig. la shows a normal pulse cycle wherein the transmission of a pulse A occurs at time t1, and an echo returns at time t4, the time between t1 and t4 being a measure of the range traversed by the echo pulse. Time t6 represents the beginning of the next transmitted pulse.
If three successive pulses A, B and C (referring to Fig. lb) were transmitted between time tl and t6, each at equal time intervals from the preceding pulse, and the pulse A initiating the next pulse cycle having a period t6-t1 occurs this same interval after the third pulse C (i. e., t2-Zl=t3-t2=t6t3), then the echo pulses from an object having the same range as represented by echo pulse a in Fig. 1a (t4-t1) will occur at identical intervals (t4- z3) after each transmitted pulse. If, in Fig. 1b, it is assumed that there were previous identical pulse cycles to cycle 16-11 before time tl, then an echo pulse b from a given object which is the echo of the second pulse .B in the cycle will occur t4-t3 seconds after the first pulse A, the echo pulse of the third pulse C of the cycle will occur t4-z3 seconds after the second pulse B, and the echo of the first pulse A will occur t4-3 seconds after third pulse C.
lf these pulses were displayed on a cathode ray tube screen having a sweep period of :f6-tl where the signal is applied to the vertical deflection means of the cathode ray tube, the Figure 1b would be the sweep pattern seen thereon.
If there were other echo pulses from objects relatively close by, then there would probably be an echo pulse of pulse A located between points t2 and t1 on the cathode ray tube screen and the observer would not be able to tell which pulse was the echo of pulse B, and which pulse was the echo of pulse A.
Such ambiguity can be substantially alleviated by giving different characteristics to the transmitted pulses A, B, and C so that appropriate receiver circuits can discriminate between them. Then by gating the discriminating circuits so that in a given time interval the receiving circuit will be responsive to the echo pulses only having a particular distinctive characteristic, the pulse ambiguity on the cathode ray tube will be alleviated.
The transmitted pulses could be differentiated by providing these pulses with different carrier frequencies, pulse width, or modulation frequencies and the example shown in the drawings utilizes a different carrier frequency for pulses A, B, and C, but it should be understood that other pulse characteristics may be varied and circuits devised to discriminate between pulses having these distinct charconventional intermediate frequency amplifier, detector and video amplifier stages [not shown] of a superheterodyne receiver) only during the cycle interval lf2-t1,` filter c is coupled to the cathode ray tube only during the cycle interval t3t2, and filter a is coupled to the cathode ray tube only in the interval t6-t3, then the particular pulse ambiguity previously spoken about will be substantially eliminated.
In the present example, the receiving system is only operative to determine the range of pulses in the upper third of the range interval t6-t1. That is, in Fig. la, if t3-tl represented a range of 50 miles and t6-tl was 75 miles, then, if Fig. lb represented the oscilloscope pattern which occurs when the sweep period is i641, the intervals z2t1, t3-t2 and t6-t3 all represent 50-75 mile range segments and pulses having a range less than 50 miles will not show up on the oscilloscope face.
If it were desired to see pulses having a range of from 25 to` 50 miles, then the sequence in which the outpnt of filters 7, 8 and 9. are gated must be changed so that in the cycle interval t2-tl, only ilter c is Coupled inthe circuit, in interval t3-t2 only lilter a is in the circuit, ,andA
in the interval t6-t3 only filter b is in the circuit.
If the range interval of -25 miles is to be observed.
pulses a, b andv c lare superimposedon eachother in a.
trace presentation shown on the `face of oscilloscope 2,1 in Figure 2.
To obtain this result, the sweep period is reduced .to the interval between transmitted pulses (t2-tl) so that three identical sweeps occur in the interval :f6-t1, then the pulses will be superimposed one upon the other and the scope pattern will look like Fig. la with the beginning olf the trace representing, for example, the beginningA of a,
50-75 mile range segment.
In a typical example, the transmitter circuitV shown. in Fig. 2 consists of a time base generator 4 which delivers synchronizing pulses having a period equal to the pulse cycle t6-tl to a delay circuit 5. Any suitable delay citcuit may be used which for every pulse fed to its input circuits will deliver a plurality of time displaced pulses in the output circuits. The delay line network is a Well known means for producing such a result. A delay line most commonly consists of a plurality of T or Pi network sections terminated in its characteristic impedance (see page 2-75, Principles of Radar, by `the M. I. T. Radar School Staff, 1944 edition).
If the input to transmitters a, b, c are respectively coupled toy three displaced positions along the above mentioned delay line so that the input pulse applied to the delay circuit is delayed respectively zero, t2-tl and t3.-tl seconds, and the resulting pulses are used to trigger respectively pulse transmitters a, b and c which operate at different carrier frequencies, then a pulse cycle such as shown in Fig. 1b is obtained. The output of transmitters a-c is fed to an antenna` 6 in a conventional manner.
The transmitter circuit of Fig. 2 just described is exemplary only and any other suitable means may be used to accomplish the pulse cycle shown in Fig. 1b.
The receiver circuit must have circuits, which will discriminate between the different pulses transmitted by transmitters a, b and c. In the example of Fig. 2, lters a, b and c are coupled to the receiving antenna 6 and are tuned to pass only the carrier frequency of the pulses which were transmitted respectively by transmitters a, b and c. To obtain the receiver channel switching action a plurality of gated amplifiers or the like 10, 11 and 12 are coupled respectively to filters a, b and c, land may for example take the well known form of electronic switches such as an electron discharge device having a conductive and non-conductive condition or may consist of mechani cal switches. These switches are made operative to couple the output of lter a, b vand c successively to the rest of the receiver circuit respectively by delay lgating circuit 18, 19, 20.
Fig. 3 discloses an exemplary circuit for the electronic switch embodiment -wherein switches 10, 11 and 12, for example, could be normally non-conducting electron discharge devices of the -type exemplified by tube 28 which is coupled to gated amplifier 1,0 and .is rendered conductive only for the .duration of control ypulses fed thereto by the appropriate gate `circuit 1,8, 19 or 2Q. The output ofeachiilter may ,be .fed ,t0 .the .Control grid .2,9 0f the 4 y respective switch tube so that the signal appears in the output of the discharge device only when it is conducting plate current.
The delay gate circuits 18, 19 and 20 are all triggered by the cycle initiating pulse of time base generator 4. The multivibrators 26, 26 and 26 may be conventional one stability type multivibrators-Where a pulse of a given polarity fed theretoinitiates a single gate pulse which in the example described would be about yt2 to t1 seconds in duration.
The time occurrence of the keying pulse fed to respective multivibrators 26 to 26" is determined by the trailing edge of the pulse outputof delay multivibrators 24 to 24 (which are single stability multivibrators like 26 and 26 respectively). Multivibrators 24 to 24 produce pulses which when differentiated by differentiator circuit 25--25" produce a pulse of the correct polarity to trigger multivibratorsk 2,6 to 2.6.
Assuming that the desired range segment is from 50775 miles, (that is. echo pulses to be received arereceived from t3-tl to t6-,t1 seconds after the corresponding transmitted pulse). by adjusting the duration of the pulse from multivibrator 24 to 24 so that the trailing proper gate pulses are delivered to electronic gate means 1,0to 12. Multivibrator 26 in such case must be triggered directly by the timing pulses from generator 4 to produce the correct gating pulse for electronic gate means 10 which occurs during the intervalA tZ-Zl. Accordingly a two position switch 35, is provided to by-pass the timing pulses from delay multivibrator 24. Switches 35 and 35 perform a similar function when filters a and c are to be respectively operatively connected to receiver 16 during the intervalrtZ- IL Although the particular gate and switch circuit rst described is only exemplary, it should be noted that the relationship between the gating means and the switch means as used to gate the filter elements is one of the important aspects of the present invention without which a cathode ray tube type presentation could not readily be obtained for reasons previously explained.
The signal is, shown applied to the Vertical deflection plate of cathode ray tube 21 in Fig. 2. It is of course obvious that the signal could also be used to modulate the beam intensity.
The sweep systemas previously explained is also a very importantaspect of the present invention in that by having three lsweeps foreach pulse cycle the echo pulses are caused to be superimposed which allows a greater range sensitivity than .where the sweep` period is equal .to the period of the pulse cycle t6v-tl. This is because the noise level is random so that the superposition of the three or more echo pulses of the cycle renders the signal much easier to detect from the noise for a given signal to noise ratio.
It should be noted that the fact that all of the transmitted pulses are spaced in time equally from the preceding and subsequent pulse is very important because otherwise the echo pulses from a given target would not be received at equal intervals from the adjacent transmitted pulses which, in the case where the echo pulses return after the next transmitted pulse, would cause a confused oscilloscope picture and make the superposition of pulses, not readily possible.
The sweep generator 30 which couples a generally sawtooth waveform to the horizontal deflection means 23 of cathode ray tube 2 1 in a conventional manner may be any suitable sawtooth generator which initiates a beam sweep in response to synchronizing pulses f ed thereto.
Where the echo pulses a, b and 4c are to overlap, the pulses which are used to modulatetransmitters vatb andhc are also-fed tosweep generator` 30 where they are used as synchronizing pulses and thereby initiate sweeps at the instants pulses A, B and C are transmitted.
Many modications may be made of the embodiments particularly described Without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
What is claimed is:
A pulse echo detection system comprising means for cyclically transmitting a plurality of pulses having interdistinguishing characteristic frequencies, each of said pulses being displaced from the pulse just preceding and following it by equal intervals of time, receiving means including a plurality of frequency discriminating means each responsive to different one of said distinguishable frequencies, a cathode ray tube indicating means, distinct switching means coupling each of said discriminating means to the signal input terminal of said cathode ray tube indicating means, gating means coupled to said distinct switching means for periodically rendering said switching means operative in a predetermined sequence to couple the output of said discriminating means successively to said cathode ray tube at a rate equal to the pulse repetition rate of the transmitted pulses, means providing said cathode ray tube with a sweep in synchronism with said transmitted pulses.

How long you need to take nabumetone will depend on what you are taking it for. Are you taking it for a chronic condition such as arthritis or are you taking it for an acute condition such as a sprain or strain?
If you are taking it for a chronic (long term) condition you will need to keep on taking it until your doctor tells you otherwise.
If you are taking nabumetone for an acute (short term) condition then you will only need to take it for the duration of your symptoms.
Hope this helps.
