Serbia`s Jelena Jankovic, the runner-up in Indian Wells final, climbed four places to 17th in the latest WTA rankings released on Monday.
Karolina Pliskova, the steep-serving 22-year-old from Prague who last month became the youngest player in the current top 20, reached the biggest final of her career with her third outstanding win at the Dubai Open.
Spanish prospect Garbine Muguruza Monday said it was time for the new generation of younger players to step up after narrowly losing to "amazing" world number one Serena Williams in Melbourne.
Serena Williams displayed all her fighting qualities to grind down the dangerous Garbine Muguruza and stay alive at the Australian Open Monday, but two-time champion Victoria Azarenka was bundled out.
A tough playing schedule caught up with world number six Agnieszka Radwanska when she was dumped out in the first round of the Sydney International on Tuesday.
Indian tennis legend Leander Paes on Tuesday replaced David Ferrer in the Punjab team of the Champions Tennis League.
Flavia Pennetta beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-4, 6-2 to set up a championship clash with Andrea Petkovic, who saw off Garbine Muguruza 6-1, 6-4, in the final of the WTA Tournament Of Champions on Saturday.
German fourth seed Andrea Petkovic defeated second-seeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova 7-5, 6-3 on Thursday to become the first player to qualify for the semi-finals of the WTA Tournament Of Champions.
Romanian world number two Simona Halep`s stuttering form continued as she became the latest seed to be dumped out of the inaugural Wuhan Open on Tuesday after an aggressive display by Garbine Muguruza.
Maintaining her rich vein of form in the current season, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her Zimbabwean partner Cara Black on Saturday bagged the women's doubles title at the WTA Toray Pacific Open with a 6-2 7-5 victory over Spain's Garbine Muguruza and Carla Suarez Navarro.
Second second and US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki outplayed Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 Saturday to reach the final of the $1 million WTA Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki battled from behind to beat Jarmila Gajdosova 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 at the WTA Pan Pacific Open Thursday in her first match since losing in the US Open final.
Fourth seed Maria Sharapova rallied for a 4-6 6-3 6-1 second-round win over Spain`s Garbine Muguruza while Serena Williams destroyed former U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur as order and power was restored to the Rogers Cup in Montreal on Wednesday.
Fourth seed Maria Sharapova rallied for a 4-6 6-3 6-1 second-round win over Spain`s Garbine Muguruza as order and power was restored to the Rogers Cup in Montreal on Wednesday.
Serena Williams admits she will start her challenge for a sixth Wimbledon title still fuming over her shock defeat at the French Open.
There was no Serena Williams standing in her way but despite the absence of her American nemesis, Maria Sharapova came dangerously close to missing out on a semi-final date at the French Open with a younger version of herself.
Maria Sharapova again showed her resilience when she recovered from a poor start to down up-and-coming Spaniard Garbine Muguruza 1-6 7-5 6-1 and reach the French Open semi-finals on Tuesday.
Having had a quiet start to his French Open campaign, Novak Djokovic can expect a tougher assignment on Tuesday when he faces up-and-coming Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals.
Maria Sharapova says she`s wary of the threat posed by Tuesday`s French Open quarter-final opponent Garbine Muguruza but is firmly focussed on keeping her bid alive for a fifth Grand Slam title.
World No.1 Serena Williams has reportedly backed her second-round French Open challenger Garbine Muguruza to win the tournament.

Aside from all the rumors coming up about the "Haylor" split, it seems that the biggest reason of all was Harry's hung-up feelings towards Burberry model, Cara Delevigne.
When Harry Styles and Taylor Swift went their separate ways after their New Year's getaway at the Virgin Gonda islands, many speculated reasons behind the sudden break-up. Some say it is because of Taylor's lack of interest in "bedroom activities." But the real cause might be that Harry still has feelings for his ex who dumped him, model Cara Delevigne.
After the two engaged in a big fight during their vacation, Taylor and Harry ended their relationship. Some sources claim that Taylor found sms messages from other women in Harry's phone, and one might be from the high fashion model.
Delevigne dumped the One Direction singer after being tipped by her modeling agency that Styles belonged in a low market, and will hurt her image as an up-and-coming socialite-slash-model.
"Harry's not used to being dumped and he hasn't got Cara out of his system, Harry's still smitten by her upmarket background, her fun lifestyle and her socialite world. It's a different world from Harry's and he wants to know what it's like from the inside. The man usually gets the girl but this one has eluded Harry and he hasn't given up" a source revealed to Yahoo OMG! as reported by Hollywood Life.
It looks like the British singer is far from being over the model, especially that Cara is reciprocating towards Harry's attempt to get back together.
"Cara likes Harry a lot but at the moment she's put her career and ambition first, but they're still in touch and Harry wants her back," added the Yahoo source.
Harry is smitten with Cara and they're secretly very close," another source told Heat Magazine.
"Harry even thinks she could be the one. He's keeping things low-key, but his dad has given his approval and thinks Cara is great. Harry sent Cara flowers and a present before she hit the catwalk for Victoria's Secret, because it was her debut. He texted her all the way through, telling her how gorgeous and wonderful she looked," added the insider.
Could one of Taylor's Harry Styles break-up songs be entitled "He Left Me For A Model?"

With reactivation marketing, you need to understand how long people have been gone, why they left, what's different in your offerings now, and what incentive they might need to come back.
While there are many ways to run a reactivation campaign, the following steps will set you on a pretty good path should you decide to launch one.
Finally, realize the difference between a reactivation campaign and a regular campaign. While the above steps could be the recipe for any old marketing campaign, there is one important difference. Reactivation marketing needs to understand how long people have been gone, why they possibly left, what is different in your offerings now that would make them come back, and what (if any) incentive they might need to come back.
If you can't answer, "What is different in our offerings that would make them come back," then skip the reactivation campaign and focus on answering that question!

Hello White's,« Back to Finds
I would like to show you some of my recent finds that came from an archeological excavation near an old castle in Coevorden, Netherlands. The property was on a new building site and we were free to search there.
The only thing was, you had to dig for many hours if you wanted to find something. I think about 30 people with a metal detector where searching there, we had a lot of fun digging there.
I was using my DFX and using the All Metal Program. The metal objects were coming out of the ground without any rust on them, because they came from deep under the ground where no oxygen is. I found cannon balls, knives, coins and many other things. It was a very nice time detecting there.
With Kind Regards,
From the Netherlands

Rural schools share common issues: Districts have individual needs
GRAND FORKS — As in many rural school districts, the costs of getting Manvel students to and from school competes with the cost of educating them as a major piece of the district's budget.
The district spends $5.80 on instruction for each dollar it spends on transportation, or 35 percent less than the $8.89 average for rural North Dakota districts.

Leftist declared winner in Salvador's election
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — El Salvador's electoral court on Thursday declared leftist candidate Salvador Sanchez Ceren the winner of the tight presidential election, making him the first former rebel commander to win the presidency of a nation where 76,000 died in a civil war.
With all the votes counted, the electoral court announced on its website that Sanchez Ceren, candidate of the ruling Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, the FMLN, got 50.1 percent of the votes. Norman Quijano of the conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance party, known as ARENA, had 49.9 percent.
With about 3 million ballots cast in Sunday's runoff election, Sanchez Ceren won by less than 7,000 votes, and Quijano's party vowed to appeal the election until a new ballot is held.
ARENA informed its members it had filed a complaint with El Salvador's attorney general, where it is presenting evidence of fraud. So far it has not made any such evidence public.
Outgoing President Mauricio Funes was a journalist who was sympathetic to the FMLN rebels during the 1980-92 civil war but was never a guerrilla, unlike Sanchez Ceren, who most recently served as Funes' vice president.
A campaign comparing El Salvador's left to Venezuela's ruling socialist bloc brought Quijano from far behind in the polls to the near tie. Sanchez Ceren has sought to distance himself from Venezuela's crisis, saying during his campaign: "El Salvador is not and cannot be Venezuela."
He said his role model is Uruguayan President Jose "Pepe" Mujica, who spent 14 years in prison during Uruguay's dictatorship. A flower-farming former guerrilla, Mujica gives away 90 percent of his presidential salary, doesn't have a bank account, drives a 41-year-old Volkswagen and never wears a tie.
"Mujica is the example to follow, because he works on two main fronts: development and social investment," Sanchez Ceren said.
He has promised to maintain good relations with the United States, where hundreds of thousands of Salvadoran migrants live.
Much like Mujica, Sanchez Ceren, 69, favors rolled-up shirt sleeves and usually eschews suits and ties. Close associates call him "Profe," or "Teacher," a reference to his beginnings as a grade-school teacher in a poor rural school.
"In truth, at the end of the day, I'm a teacher, and my greatest pride is when people call me 'Teacher,'" Sanchez Ceren said at a ceremony in February where he was given an honorary doctorate by the country's National University.
Sanchez Ceren was one of 12 children born to a carpenter and a food vendor. Once he started working, he quickly became an activist in the teachers union, pressing demands for better salaries and working conditions. Amid bloody repression of union leaders in El Salvador in the 1970s, he gravitated toward the rebel movement, then a series of leftist groups allied under the umbrella of the FMLN.
By 1978, Sanchez Ceren headed into the mountains as an armed guerrilla, and by 1983 he became one of the rebels' five top commanders, using the nom-de-guerre "Comandante Leonel Gonzalez." He was seen within the movement as an advocate of dialogue, and he served as a negotiator in the 1992 peace accord that ended the war.

Add new content policies to YC website makeover
The county should give department heads and others the ability to post information on the website
We've long recognized that Yamhill County's government website is overdue for a makeover. Fittingly, it's going to get one soon. When that happens, there also should be new policies that open doors for better communication between the government and its taxpayers.
Information Services Director Murray Paolo anticipates to roll out a redesign of the county's website soon after the new year. His department also is contracted to manage the city of McMinnville's website, which launched new design and functionality last year.
Changes in the city's website system allowed department heads the means to control content, and the county's site needs a similar transformation. Currently, all content goes through county Administrator Laura Tschabold, but that kind of top-down control hinders the timely update of information people have come to expect from dynamic websites.
A government website serving its residents best is one with daily attention. That level of online services has improved with the city of McMinnville's site. It is far more aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly than the county's site, which is five years old and looks another five years older.
Paolo said that improvements to the city website included looking at what information is most viewed online, which turned out to be operating information about the aquatic center and library. Officials made those areas easier to find.
There still is room for improvement: The community center website component could list open gym hours; the Public Works page might keep residents more up to date on current projects; the Latest News box on the home page is informative, but could be updated more regularly. However, as anyone with responsibility for updating website content can tell you, the more information you include the harder it is to keep it all current.
In all ways, the city's website is far more complete and informative than Yamhill County's platform, so we're looking forward to the new county site. It would be great if the county takes a giant leap instead of just a small step in its flow of information.
Americans spend a great deal of time on the Internet these days and have become far more sophisticated at finding and returning to reliable sources of online information. It would behoove the county to bust open its online policy by giving department heads and others the ability to post information on the website.
As we have found with our own website, many people are just as capable as managers when it comes to posting current information online. Policies still can come from the top, but getting information to residents should be not delayed by unnecessary layers of administrative control.
In recent years, there has been an explosion of mobile content for smartphones and tablets, putting private and public sectors in a frenzy of how to cope with new technology. That's for another day at Yamhill County, which for now will do well to update its old-looking website and establish modern policies for managing its online content.

General Recs for B. Moore Paint Colors
Hi--me again--sorry to barrage everyone with paint questions!
I'm thinking about painting my great room (vaulted ceiling, lots of windows, 14 x 17) BM's Birmingham Cream. This appears to be a warm and fairly light color. Any thoughts?
Also: thinking about painting my study, which is about 10 x 12, BM's Harvest Bronze. Is this a warm color? Is is so dark that it will make the room seem smaller? I ask because it's hard to tell from swatches and on-line virtual room views.
Any ideas in general for colors for a study of this size?
IMO, next step is to get samples of the two colors and see what you think of them in the space(s).
BC in a well-lit 14x17 space is going to feel, open, expansive, light airy.
HB in a 10x12 is going to cozy it up.
Typically that is how it would work out. Need to insert a *typically* because that's how those colors would translate for a majority of color tolerances.
Expansive, light, airy or 'seem smaller' are all perceptions. Whether it turns out that way depends on how you perceive it - how you see and interpret those colors in those spaces.

Echinacea - Aster Yellow
Can anyone corroborate that Aster Yellow does not remain over winter. I destroyed my Echs, a most painful experience last year. Got infected by buying Pow Wow plants with the idea of cultivation for seed.
Some of the Echs are not available any more, as new and shinier varieties become popular.
Just an observation...many of my echs had 'Aster Yellow' two years ago (I didnt recognize it at the time). However these same echs bloomed just fine the following year...at least for awhile and then in August 'Aster Yellow' reasserted itself.
This issue coupled with the 'sunflower moth' infestation led me to make the decision to rip out much of my echs this past late summer. I still have some PowWow Berry and White + a couple "Hot Coral (Sombrero series). If these remaining plants do poorly this season due to AY or SMoth I will remove all these coneflowers. Sunny real estate is way to valuable for plants that aren't able to perform at their best.
Not only was the leafhopper population high last year, but the list of plants affected by aster yellows is also depressingly huge. I had to destroy a number of plants last year, including Echinacea. Oh well, time for new varieties anyway. On the up side, Echinacea purpurea (& many of its hybrids) isn't terribly long-lived anyway.
The Plant Geek
Agreed.... but i think the bigger issue is that plants are being sold that are obviously infected and expressing the distorted green petaled flowers on shelf from the growers and end vendors.
I have seen it at big box stores and independent nurseries. The big box stores won't really do anything about it.. unless they take the time to tell the supply nursery... who then takes them off the shelf... which seems quite unlikely to happen.
I have pointed the infected plants out to some nurseries and they pull them plants right in front of me and toss them.. which is good... but others won't do anything either since they have the chance of loosing $$$. I suppose it might be difficult to go back to the plant plug supplier a year or more later and say "hey.. those plugs you sold me are infected" without them just saying that they were infected at the nursery site. One nurseryman told me that all of the plants they had that were infected were very recent arrivals from the plug supplier.... so the infection is starting early in the plant cycle.
So the lesson of the day is to never buy an echinacea that doesn't have some flowers that are fully opened and developed. This will at least give you a better chance of buying an uninfected plant (even though an infected plant doesn't always show it's infection right away). If you do see a single plant of the group though that is infected... i would avoid the whole lot of them.
And to expand on your last post 'nevermore':
I will not buy any impatiens walleriana this comiing season as for me last year I had most of these plants succumb to 'downy mildew'. As far as I know there is no reason to think any headway has been made in terms of new variations of walleriana that can withstand this blight.
So the lesson of the day is to never buy an echinacea that doesn't have some flowers that are fully opened and developed.

If you do see a single plant of the group though that is infected... i would avoid the whole lot of them.
Very good point. This is what happened to me. I bought Pow Wow Ech and didn't see any problems till the blooms .
Most of the 'pow wow's that a saw last year were infected. In you do see an infected plant, look over the young blooms to see how they appear. Usually there is something funky going on. It will help you Id it on other plants.
There is always seed varieties you can try now. With 'Cheyenne spirit' seed you are suppose to get all the colors. Most seed catalogs carry.
We pulled diseased plants off the shelf as we found them. I'm sure a bunch got sold though. It was probably 40% of our crop last year, but that's fairly unusual. As stated, there was a HUGE population of leaf hoppers last year.
Growing from seed will guarantee you're starting with clean stock, but that stock can just as easily become infected that growing season.
Impatiens downy mildew is a huge impending doom issue. We'll likely see common impatiens going by the wayside as a common plant if they can't breed a resistant variety. On the up side, IDM mainly affects the I. walleriana group. Many other species are unaffected or resistant, including new guinea and supatiens hybrids. It's quite possible a resistant strain will be bred. But honestly, if not I won't cry much. My industry would lose a huge revenue producer, but not a particularly awesome plant. And if you've had IDM, don't buy impatiens. The spores are now in your soil and may be there a long time.
The Plant Geek
So where you infected plants on your site for more then a year?
The impatien issue is amazing. I had the most lush impatiens last year ( i was never a fan before that)... then over a few days they all lost their leaves as if it had frosted during the night. Might try the new g types next year to see what happens.
A small number of Echinacea were held over from the previous year, but those are kept in a different location and weren't brought to the retail bench until aster yellows was already present on the current season's batch. (I should clarify I'm talking my day job here, as my own nursery currently doesn't sell Echinacea)
IDM is devastating. I noticed it at work this year, it's a problem that is just appearing in WI. Indeed, from a distance before you got close enough to see the characteristics, it looked like we had a frost in August.

A novel fiber-optic pressure sensor operated at 1300-nm wavelengthPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 10 - 14| | Quick Abstract | PDF (136 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, we discuss a particular topology of a fiber-optic pressure transducer, developed recently at the Laboratory of the Photonics Research Center, University of Quebec en Outaouais. The sensor, which is an extension of our previous polarimetric configuration, was designed to operate using typical telecommunications components at the wavelength of 1300 nm. The pressure sensor is temperature compensated in an innovative way and has no polarizer between the LD and the sensor. The absolute accuracy of this sensor can be less than 1% in a wide range of temperatures, and including all types of metrological errors such as hysteresis and unrepeatability. View full abstract»
Measurement and system impact of multipath interference from dispersion compensating fiber modulesPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 15 - 23
Cited by: Papers (3) | Patents (14)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (376 KB) | | HTML
Dispersion compensating modules (DCM) are key components in long distance and high-speed fiber-optic transmission systems. However, many types of DCMs exhibit multipath interference (MPI) that acts as noise in transmission and degrades the bit error rate of the system. Further, MPI generated in DCMs is mostly due to forward scattering and mostly of the coherent type. This type of MPI cannot be correctly measured using conventional measurement techniques that use electrical spectrum analysis to measure post-detection noise. We demonstrate an accurate and simple method of MPI measurement using a swept wavelength system apparatus. We discuss the strengths and limitations of this measurement method and show system results of Q penalty due to MPI from concatenated DCMs. View full abstract»
Development of a portable fiber-optic current sensor for power systems monitoringPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 24 - 30
Cited by: Papers (16)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (456 KB) | | HTML
The paper presents a portable fiber-optic current sensor (FOCS), based on the Faraday effect, with a magnetic concentrator. Both the optical sensing head and electronic processing block are illustrated. A detailed experimental study to confirm the performance of the device is also reported. According to the measured values of ac rms current up to 1 kA, a calibration procedure was performed. The paper provides an analysis of the results obtained for various conductor displacements within the concentrator. The well-known temperature dependence of the Faraday current sensor and its influence on the measurement accuracy are tested by means of a special double-layer thermal insulated chamber. The calibrated and characterized FOCS is applied for harmonic analysis of the current. The results clearly illustrate the nature of the sensing process and demonstrate odd-order harmonics presence, as predicted by the mathematical model. The paper indicates that the developed device is suitable for the power systems monitoring. View full abstract»
Monitoring global earthquake-induced demands using vision-based sensorsPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 31 - 36
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (312 KB)
A vision-based approach is evaluated for its applicability as a new sensing technology for measuring earthquake-induced motions. The approach evaluated in this paper is advantageous since it requires very limited physical attachment to the structure of interest, is high-speed, high-resolution, and does not introduce additional mass or otherwise modify the properties of the structure. A demonstration experiment is described in which four digital high-speed, high-resolution, charge-coupled-device cameras outfitted with red light-emitting diodes are used to track 21 reflective (nearly) mass less spherical elements discretely mounted on a scale five-story steel frame structure. The structure is mounted on a large bi-axial shake table and subjected to different earthquake motions. A total of eleven conventional (wired) transducers [linear variable displacement transducers and accelerometers] are also discretely mounted on the structure, providing a unique comparison with the vision-based approach. Results from these experiments show that the nonintrusive vision-based approach is extremely promising in terms of its ability to capture inter-story drift, floor level velocities, and accelerations, provided proper post-processing of the dynamic data occurs.

Use of scanned detection in optical position encodersPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 37 - 44
Cited by: Papers (5) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (288 KB) | | HTML
The use of scanning detection in optical noncontact position sensing is proposed, and a prototype is implemented, using optical scanning of pseudorandom binary sequences printed in bar-code format. Light from a vibrating fiber tip is imaged onto the printed code using a GRIN (graded index) lens, and the reflected light detected via the same lens, resulting in a single scanner module. Improved flexibility and signal processing possibilities are obtained compared to conventional diode array optical code readers. Performance limitations of scanning position encoders are analyzed and discussed. Suggestions for implementation using microoptoelectromechanical systems are presented. View full abstract»
Limiting sensitivity of a differential absorption spectrometer with direct detection in the 2ν3 and ν2+2ν3 vibration bands [methane detection applications]Publication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 45 - 50
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (256 KB) | | HTML
A differential absorption spectrometer, for methane detection, using tunable laser diodes in the 1.33-μm and 1.66-μm bands, has been studied. The spectral scanning is carried out by current modulation of the laser diode. We analyzed the performance with a multimode Fabry-Perot laser diode in the ν2+2ν3 band of methane and a monomode laser diode in the 2ν3 band. The theoretical results are validated by several experiments. To determine the sensitivity limit of the sensor, we have examined the influence of the noise sources. A sensitivity of 10 ppm·m was obtained in the 2ν3 band. The main limiting factors are the relative intensity noise of the laser, optical interferences, and quantization noise. We also analyzed the influence of the temperature on the laser diode emission spectra and the methane absorption spectra. View full abstract»
Noncontact speckle-based velocity sensor [laser Doppler vibrometer]Publication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 51 - 57
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (328 KB) | | HTML
Laser light illuminating a rough surface generates speckle phenomena in the space around the surface. In this paper, the authors propose a noncontact laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) sensor, using the speckle phenomena, for the assessment of target velocity and displacement at low vibration frequencies. The sensor is realized using few optical components in a very simple optical configuration. The methodology for the experimental and analytical determination of the sensor sensitivity is reported, and two speckle-processing algorithms have been used to appraise the best cross-correlation function for target velocity measurement. The algorithms are based on binary correlation and fast Fourier transform analysis. Experimental results coming from the comparison of both the proposed techniques are reported. Moreover, results obtained with the proposed speckle sensor have been compared with reference measurement systems. Results show that this noncontact sensor is characterized by a reduced optical complexity and low cost. It appears to be particularly suitable for use in the analysis of low velocity rough surfaces.

Multichannel Raman gas analyzer: the data acquisition and control system. Measurement improvement with blue laser lightPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 58 - 66| | Quick Abstract | PDF (312 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, the data acquisition and control system of a multichannel Raman effect-based gas analysis device is presented, together with the improvements achieved in measurement of gas concentration sensitivities as a result of the operation of the system with a new blue laser-light source. The multichannel Raman gas sensor (MRGS) is based on the linear Raman scattering effect and uses photo multiplier tubes (PMTs) in the photon-counting mode of operation. An embedded microcontroller-based data acquisition and control (MDAC) system collects, digitizes, processes, and stores in real time the data from six photon-counting modules and the accompanying sensors, along with an overall system control through appropriate actuators. Recent advances in the development of solid-state laser sources have enabled the use of a new, state-of-the-art, blue laser for the excitation of the Raman effect. Using this blue laser source, improvements in the sensitivities in measurements of concentration for all tested gases (SO2, CO2, CO, NO2, C6H6, and N2) have been substantiated, compared with the green laser source previously used and reported in a related article.

An acoustooptic frequency shifter is placed in the laser ring cavity to suppress the cross-gain saturation effects of the erbium-doped fiber. The emitted wavelengths are fixed by a set of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). A power uniformity reaching 6 dB is achieved by inscribing the FBGs while monitoring the laser output. We demonstrate the reliability of this laser as a source for characterization of optical components and networks by the measurement of optical fiber chromatic dispersion. The measurement is performed over the whole telecommunication C-band (1530-1560 nm) using the time-of-flight method. We perform the measurement on three different fibers with different levels of dispersion, namely a standard fiber, a nonzero dispersion shifted fiber, and a dispersion compensating fiber. The results are compared with measurements obtained using a standard network analyzer. The agreement between the two methods is better than ±1%, thus proving the suitability of the developed laser source for this application. View full abstract»
Realization of an on-line fiber-optic bending loss measurement systemPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 72 - 79| | Quick Abstract | PDF (520 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, an on-line bending loss measurement system is studied and realized. To avoid complicated calculation of fiber bending loss, we propose a simplified theoretical model for on-line evaluation. A specific fiber adaptor is developed for light signal feeding and picking up through a free space optical fiber coupling technique. Relevant factors, including free space fiber misalignment, are considered. The signal-to-noise ratio of the whole system is improved by optimizing the spatial perturbation length of the fiber and the deformation of the bending fiber. The use of an on-line monitoring technique for measuring the bending loss of optical fibers is presented in this paper. With this technique, manufacturing efficiency can be improved, and the cost of maintaining fiber quality control can be reduced. View full abstract»
The analysis of the transmission-type optical smoke detector threshold sensitivity to the high rate temperature variationsPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 80 - 85
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (160 KB) | | HTML
Reliability of the transmission-type optical smoke detectors is limited by the high sensitivity of optical components to parasitic effects, especially to contamination and temperature. Influences of the high rate temperature variations cannot be eliminated by filtering, as their spectral range partially overlaps with the spectral range of a smoke absorption index. Hence, sensitivity to these effects has to be eliminated through the mutual cancellation of the corresponding components of the output signal. First determining the temperature dependence of the light source and the receiver in the generalized block diagram of the transmission-type optical smoke detector, transfer functions are derived, specifying the detector output signal as a function of the temperature variations of the blocks considered. Using the second-order thermal model for the thermal system of the optoelectronic diodes, an expression is given for the steady-state solution of the difference of the source and the receiver diode junction temperatures, when the ambient temperature is a ramp function of time. On the basis of the thermal system analysis, a block diagram is shown to be equivalent to RC low-pass (LP) filters that model the pn junction temperature dependence on ambient temperature. For the completed block diagram, with the help of the expressions derived, an analysis is performed to establish how to eliminate the detector threshold sensitivity to ambient temperature variations, or to adjust it to realize a multicriteria fire detector.

Reflectometric measurements of polarization properties in optical-fiber linksPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 86 - 94
Cited by: Papers (3) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (392 KB) | | HTML
Polarization sensitive reflectometric measurements are effective tools for the characterization of polarization properties of optical-fiber links. These techniques show two advantages compared with the standard ones: they can perform measurements using only one fiber end (both for transmission and for reception of the probe signal) and, most important, they can characterize the local evolution of the polarization properties of the fiber link. Reflectometric measurements of differential group delay and fiber birefringence have been already successfully performed. More recently, the possibility of measuring, also, polarization dependent loss has been theoretically explored. In this paper the theory and main applications of polarization sensitive reflectometric techniques are reviewed. View full abstract»
A double-laser diode onboard sensor for velocity measurementsPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 95 - 101
Cited by: Papers (9) | Patents (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (312 KB)
In this paper, we validate the feasibility of an onboard velocity sensor using the self-mixing effect. Roughness of the target surface, wet target surface, noncontrolled changes of incident angle, and speed vector vertical components have been considered during this development. A first prototype has been designed with an automotive application so to illustrate this feasibility. This low-cost and low-clutter prototype presents an interesting basic performance (σ≈0.22%). In order to improve the accuracy as well as the robustness of the system, a double-laser diode sensor has then been tested successfully (σ≈0.038%) by removing the influence of the pitching and the pumping effects.

Design and stability analysis of a CMOS feedback laser driverPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 102 - 108
Cited by: Papers (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (416 KB)
A feedback laser driver circuit has been developed to control the average optical output power of a double heterostructure CW laser diode and also to operate with a wideband amplitude modulation. The average light power monitoring is realized by measuring the photoelectric current of a photodiode integrated inside the package of the laser diode. Safety features, including transient signal suppression, protect the laser against excessive light power. To obtain responses that are not out of the absolute maximum ratings of the laser diode light power, a study of the feedback loop stability is necessary. Two transconductance structures, using inverting and noninverting circuits are compared using the dominant pole compensation method. Then, the more stable driver circuit is analyzed and integrated using CMOS technology. View full abstract»
Real-time tracking of time-varying velocity using a self-mixing laser diodePublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 109 - 115
Cited by: Papers (7)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (400 KB)
A new method is proposed for estimating the time-varying velocity of a moving target with a low-cost laser sensor using optical feedback interferometry. A new algorithm is proposed to track velocity variations from real-time analysis of the output signal of a self-mixing laser diode. This signal is strongly corrupted by a multiplicative noise caused by the speckle effect, which occurs very often with noncooperative targets used in many industrial applications. The proposed signal processing method is based on a second order adaptive linear predictor filter, which enables us to track the digital instantaneous Doppler frequency, which is proportional to the velocity. A model of the laser diode output signal is proposed, and it is shown that the sensor and its associated algorithm have a global first-order lowpass transfer function with a cutoff frequency expressed as a function of the speckle perturbations, the signal to noise ratio and the mean Doppler frequency. Numerical as well as experimental results illustrate the properties of this sensor. View full abstract»

This paper describes a novel architecture for an optical position sensor which has been implemented on a single chip using standard digital CMOS technology. The prototype device consists of 20×20 active pixels and two row and column parallel processing units with corresponding digital decoding logic. The image contour is extracted by means of distributed peak-detection, implemented at pixel level, followed by a digital extraction of the beam centroid position executed at row and column level. The sensor chip achieves up to 3000 frames/s with a position accuracy of 0.013 pixel and a total power consumption of 15 mW at 5 V. View full abstract»
Ultra-fast optical spectrum analyzer for DWDM applicationsPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 124 - 129
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (192 KB) | | HTML
Dense wavelength division multiplexing optical networks use tunable devices such as distributed Bragg reflector laser diodes. These optical sources require a precise wavelength calibration according to the ITU grid, even with aged components. Some specific optical spectrum analyzers are commercially available. Unfortunately, measurements using those systems are generally relatively slow. We present and discuss in this paper a fast spectral measurement system that can easily be implemented in a laser diode package. View full abstract»
Bending and orientational characteristics of long period gratings written in D-shaped optical fiber [directional bend sensors]Publication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 130 - 135
Cited by: Papers (6) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (216 KB) | | HTML
Long period gratings (LPGs) were written into a D-shaped single-mode fiber. These LPGs were subjected to a range of curvatures, and it was found that as curvature increased, there was increasingly strong coupling to certain higher order cladding modes without the usual splitting of the LPGs stopbands. A bend-induced stopband yielded a spectral sensitivity of 12.55 nm·m for curvature and 2.2×10-2 nm°C-1 for temperature. It was also found that the wavelength separation between adjacent bend-induced stopbands varied linearly as a function of curvature. Blue and red wavelength shifts of the stopbands were observed as the sensor was rotated around a fixed axis for a given curvature; thus, in principle, this sensor could be used to obtain bending and orientational information. The behavior of the stopbands was successfully modeled using a finite element approach. View full abstract»

Dedicated temperature sensing with c-axis oriented single-crystal ruby (Cr3+:Al2O3) fibers: temperature and strain dependences of R-line fluorescencePublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 140 - 154
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (528 KB) | | HTML
Single-crystal fibers of ruby (Cr3+:Al2O3) with approximately 0.1 wt.% Cr3+ have been produced by the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique. The fluorescence emissions of the R1 and R2 lines were studied as functions of temperature and strain. Fluorescence decay lifetime measurements indicate that these fibers may be suitable for thermometric applications up to 973 K while strain measurements show only a very weak dependence. Similarly, characterization of the R-line shifts also show a weak strain sensitivity and an appreciably larger change with temperature. One fiber sample has been tested to destruction to demonstrate this weak strain dependence. Single-crystal ruby fibers are, thus, found to be potential candidates for dedicated temperature sensing from room temperature to ∼923 K. View full abstract»
The development of a portable spectrophotometer for noncontact color measurementPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 155 - 162
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (536 KB) | | HTML
A portable spectrophotometer for noncontact color measurement was developed to display spectral distribution and tristimulus values of a color simultaneously. It comprises electronic control circuits, control firmware, and an optical mechanism with a photo detector array. Essentially, a light beam is reflected or transmitted by a measured object into a device that disperses the light beam into its spectrum on a photo detector array. Then, the photo detector module generates a series of signals as functions of light intensity and produces their corresponding digital values reflecting light intensity. These digital data are processed by the electronic control circuits and control firmware to directly provide the spectral distribution and standard color values. The measured results of the developed system were also compared with those obtained by a similar instrument on the market. View full abstract»

|Pelicans G Holiday has stress fracture in ankle
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 10 January 2014 05:21
The team says the injury is a stress fracture in his tibia. It is not clear when or how the injury occurred. Holiday played 29 minutes in Wednesday night's 102-96 loss at home to Washington, making three of 11 shots for eight points to go with three assists, three rebounds and three steals.
In 34 games this season, the 6-foot-4 Holiday is averaging 14.3 points, 7.9 assists and 4.2 rebounds. His injury comes while New Orleans struggles to overcome the absence of leading scorer Ryan Anderson, who has been out indefinitely with a herniated disk since last weekend.
New Orleans hosts Dallas on Friday night.

Nice hotel. Location was perfect, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Wonderful breakfast every morning with a good variety of food. Although the hotel did not have on site dining, except for a breakfast.. The staff were very helpful with recommendations and even calling to make reservations. They also helped arrange sight-seeing tours. Instead of a tub the bathroom had a wonderful large shower with glass doors. Also the king sized bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean and layed out very nicely. The hotel was very nice and clean on a whole. My only disappointment was the workout facility was extremely small and equipment not adequate. Pool was nice.
Location was perfect for getting around. The park was located just behind the hotel. Hotel within walking distance of historic district and River Walk, restaurants and shopping areas. Easy to get to all restaurants and River Street. I loved that it was next to one of the squares in Savannah.
Parking garage next door or valet parking which was very convenient the only negative was that it was quite expensive..
Very enjoyable getaway. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to stay in Savannah for pleasure or business.

USB Radio Dongle (unbranded)

Posted May 23, 2013 at 6:50PM
A mate gave me one of these to investigate to see what it is and what it does.
I've found it to be a bluetooth usb radio. Plug it in and a light flashes, Windows Vista finds it, installs the bluetooth driver side of it, then tries to find some software for the radio but fails.
It seems to be a sample or a "promotional" item - I can only find one image of it on Google and it's supplied by Chinatraderonline.
Anyone any ideas how to use it? Does it plug into a car radio usb or a PC USB? Do you find a radio station through software and listen to it via the PC speakers?
Basically I wondered what use it was in this age of free online radio; is it virtually obsolete?
Thanks in advance
