Nearly all cars require an immobilizer bypass to add a remote start system. Click here to add one to your order!
Allows a vehicles engine to active without physical contact from the user. This feature is useful for warming up your vehicles engine and transmission to operational temperatures. In cold climates you can have your interior hot or in warm climates you can cool it down before use. All of this can be done while in the comfort of your home or office.
Going through batteries can end up being a costly endeavor. A rechargeable remote allows for more powerful transmitters and additional functions such as touch screen remotes and full color displays. These transmitters will remain at a consistent voltage during the discharge cycle to keep all functions working. With hundreds of recharges available, you save money on replacement batteries.
Receive visual confirmations from your vehicles security system or remote start system. Features such as remote start, lock/unlock, arm/disarm and trunk release will appear on the remotes screen with its current status. An LCD remote can display warning icons when the doors, trunk or hood are open. If your vehicle is tampered with, some remotes display what part of the vehicle was affected.
Performs lock and unlock tasks without physical contact with the vehicle. Power door locks can be controlled from several feet away or even within a building using a remote fob. The fob emits a radio frequency that is digitally encoded to prevent frequency stealing so no one can enter into your vehicle without your wireless transmitter.
This shock sensor utilizes warning chirps for minor disturbances and will trip the alarm if it detects more serious impacts or disruptions. Most dual zone shock sensors have adjustable sensitivity to reduce false alarms or warnings. These sensors let would-be thieves know that your vehicle is equipped with an advanced alarm system and to keep away.
This unit comes with trunk release capability and remote control integration for OEM alarm or add-on trunk release systems. Pop your trunk using your remote transmitter for convenience and ease of use. Carrying a handful of groceries? Arms tied up with luggage? Pop the trunk without using your key so its open and waiting for you when you arrive.
Send commands to your remote start or alarm system and receive confirmation that those commands were carried out. Obtain updates on your vehicles security status and get driver pages on the remote. If your vehicle is being tampered with, your remote transmitter will warn you and set off the vehicles alarm.
Security: This means that the car alarm system is just that. No bells and whistles, just a car alarm system.
Remote Start: when installed, this allows the user to start a vehicle from a remote location. Remote start modules and security with remote start alarms often require an additional vehicle specific bypass module to complete installation.
Security with Remote Start: This means that the system incorporates both features listed above.
A dual zone shock sensor is a feature of proximity and shock sensors only. Zone 1 ( light impact on shock sensor and short motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger warn away chirp to warn intruder that car has an alarm without setting off the full alarm. Zone 2 (heavy impact on shock sensor and extended motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger the alarm to go off.

I'm a installer. I only install high rated systems. Should be expert installed. A little pricey compared to other good systems out there. Remote range is good, but I used others that had farther range.

I love this set up. I have it connected to the automatic headlight system i added in and i love it! The pager works fairly well. I did have a problem when i dropped it in the water the speaker on the pager is very low now. The mile range seems a bit much but it truly does go very far. Now when you in buildings or in the movie theater it goes out of range which i wish was better. Overall great alarm. Pretty easy to install. I would recommend the remote start as i didn't install it but do add that feature.

The "AutoPage C3-RS915-LCD" is an impressive auto theft deterrent. It has all the controls, features, and functionality of a high-end alarm system, which makes me wonder why it isn't categorized as such. Out of the box, the overall appearance of the design is sleek and small enough to fit in tight places where low visibility is a must.
The best features in my opinion are the on board relays. They are robust enough to control just about any late model vehicle starter cut or power door lock system. This made ease of wiring for my car that required an aftermarket locking servo. It was wired directly to the brain per the instructions illustrated in the installation guide. The add-on features for additional devices are also noteworthy. You will get two remotes; one of that is a full LCD that has a vibrating/silent mode feature and the other has the basic buttons lock, trunk, unlock, and panic.
Also, the tech support team is friendly and very helpful. I've been a certified mobile electronics installer for more than 18 years and have never come across an alarm with comparable features for such a competitive price. Ideally, it's the biggest bang for the buck and you won't be disappointed.

Bought this and installed it in a race trailer (car hauler). I wanted something with long range 2-way transmitters. I added some additional sensors and the system is working beautifully so far. The 2-way transmitter is rechargeable which is also a huge plus. First time installing an alarm and putting in it a trailer was pretty fun.

I've received several compliments on the alarm from mechanics, car enthusiasts and friends. The AutoPage alarm is a "brand-name" well known product that makes me feel more secure. The remote starter is the best thing I've ever purchased...EVER. I can start my car from my desk on the 9th floor of my office building and by the time I get to my car in the parking garage across the street it's nice and comfortable/warm. The LCD key display lets me know if my trunk/door/hood/windows are open, whether one of my doors is not closed the whole way, & the temperature inside my vehicle. I'm able to open/close my windows with the LCD key-fob, The LCD key mechanism is rechargeable (plug it in, just like a cell phone) & it's charge has lasts for 3months+. If you are within 1 mile of the your vehicle and the alarm sounds, your keys will tell you. So many great features, more than what I've already explained. I'd strongly recommend purchasing this product, if not only for safety reasons, for the fact that it's a great toy with more features than I ever thought possible...still finding new things & I've had this installed for over a year.

Installed this alarm system on my enclosed race trailer. Put a few other sensors on too (tilt, proximity, and motion sensors). Took a bit of time to install it just to make sure it was done right and installed cleanly. Put a couple extra sirens in too along with a battery backup.
Works awesome, extremely satisfied.

This a great alarm and I would recommend it. I bought this one because of the great reviews and I had a previous model installed on my car. So I updated it with this alarm because of better features such as the long ranges, LCD, sensors....etc. I bought 2 sets and gave one as a gift. The only problem I have with it is the remote seems to have become defective. The LCD remote resets itself every so often and several times a day turns off so I have to consistently check it through out the day. I don't even bother setting the clock because I got tired of it.
This review has to be continued because I have contacted SonicElectronix and AutoPage about this recently and I'm waiting for their reply.

Had a hell of a time trying to install it into an Audi but all works and works very well! More than what I was looking for in a remote start alarm but really nice to have the extra features though-5 onboard relays aint bad either. The automatic lock/unlock with ignition is really convenient. Great alarm for a really good price. My only recommendation is to not use the old school 556u bypass-will save you hours of pain trust me!

Had this alarm for about a year. Works great! Only problem is the alarm keyfob takes too long to let you know your alarm is going off. Also, the autostart runtime counter doesn't automatically deactivate when you get in the car and press the brake pedal. you have to now deactivate it manually through the keyfob. Boo

"Bending on the Border" Top 5 Page for this destination Big Bend National Park by mtncorg
Big Bend National Park Travel Guide: 176 reviews and 393 photos
Looming like a battleship, the Chisos Mountains rise high above the surrounding Chihuahuan desert plains, standing as a bastion to the border, a few miles to the south. The Chisos are the heart of this park and they are apropriately, smack in the middle of the park. As you can see in XenoHumph's fine pages, the Park is the best example of preserved Chihuahuan desert in the US - there are three other warm weather desert types in the US, as well: Great Basin, Mojave and Sonoran. The Chisos stand as a green oasis surrounded by hot harsh desert, ensconcing a myriad of plant and animal life unique to these mountains.
One road penetrates into the Chisos, slowly winding the 6 miles it takes to cross Panther Pass and come down into the Basin, a high hanging valley over a mile high - 5400 feet. Here you will find a large campground, a visitor center - there are three other visitor centers in the Park: Panther Junction (the Park's headquarters), Persimmon Gap (at the north entrance to the Park) and at the Rio Grande Village on the southeast edge of the Park near he entrance to Boquillas Canyon. From the Basin, several grand hikes emanate. Closest is probably the trail going towards the Window (4 miles), a deep cleft in the mountain wall that is one of the main features you notice from the Basin roadend. Through the gap that is the Window, you can gaze far off into the desert west. The highlight trail is the trail to the South Rim. It is a about a 14 mile round trip and the view to the south from atop the Rim is both airy and awe inspiring. For pictures, you should try and plan your hike to take advantage of sunrise or sunset to witness the myriad of colors washed out in the midday sun.
When should you visit the Park? Summer is simply too hot to enjoy the Park. Heat and arid winds can cause ground temperautres to roast you at up to 180F!! This is definitely a Park to come to in the normal off-season. The Park is a long ways from anything, as well. Its remoteness and the fact that summer is not a good time to visit ensure that you will not see the number of tourists other parks like Yosemite, Grand Canyon or Yellwostone attract. This is just as well. I visited the Park in early January. A bit cool at night but very pleasant during the day. We stayed at the little lodge in the Basin. If you want to stay here, get reservations and be aware that you can hear everything in neighboring rooms through the cinderblock walls. I would camp next time.
What gives the Park its name is the big U-turn made by the Rio Grande River. Here we come to another great reason to visit the Park; the River. The River serves as the border between Texas and Mexico and in the Park, the River traverses three superb canyons: Santa Elena, Mariscal and Boquillas. Outside of thunderstorm season - July-October - the River is not very difficult to run, the hardest part maybe the logistics involved in putting your boat in and taking it out at another - usually involving a not inconsiderable amount of road distance in between.
So, come to the Park for the desert, the mountains or the river and learn about the history and cultures that have intertwined themselves with this region when you get here. Remember, it is a very long drive to get here and there are no real towns to speak of nearby. Six hours to El Paso and a lot more to the cities of eastern Texas.

it is a wonderful trip...can I book the raffling on side?
For once I was glad to have VT's map function so I could see exactly where this is -- nowhere near El Paso or San Antonio, which are the closest places I have ever been to. Fine photos and descriptions, as always!
Hoping to make a stop in Big Bend when we do our Texas roadtrip in the "near future" Did you take Little Girl in the raft too? ;o) ~ Helen
Ouch! That's some ground temp! Interesting and informative with good pics as always.
We are thinking of going to Big Bend late January, so I was interested to see that the weather was pleasant when you visited. Thanks for the great tips.
Another great page Mark, wow what a picture!! Looking forward to visit, are the campsites crowded in April? Cheers
This is one area I wanted to visit in Texas. Your photos and info are just fabulous. So vast. I don't think I would eat before rafting:-) Good rafting tips.. sad that I won't get to visit before I leave TX
When Oregonians beat me to Big Bend, I must hang my head in shame. . .I'll get here eventually!
Marvellous page!! I have been waiting fot it since you said you would build one.. I am not dissapointed. Like usual, great detailed tips and excellent pictures...and thank you for mentioning my page!!

Home Press Releases Global Onshore Wind Energy Market is expected to reach USD 898.0 billion in 2020
Global Onshore Wind Energy Market is expected to reach USD 898.0 billion in 2020
Posted on Jul 28, 2014
Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled "Onshore Wind Energy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020." According to the report, the onshore wind energy market was valued at USD 89.3 billion in 2013 and is anticipated to reach USD 898.0 billion in 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 29.6% from 2014 to 2020.
Wind energy is a relatively mature source of generating renewable energy. Wind has been established as one of the most preferred methods for generating renewable energy in several nations. The wind industry's rapid development in the past few years indicates its significant potential to create jobs, spur economic activity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Onshore wind energy is a relatively old technology. It is one of the most developed methods used to generate renewable energy currently. Both project development experience and technology maturity for the onshore wind energy sector is high. The high technology maturity component is one of the primary factors driving the adoption of onshore wind energy. A large number of project developers operate in the market. These are duly supported by policy frameworks established by national governments. This helps reduce business risks and strengthens investor confidence in the renewable energy sector. The technology has achieved a certain degree of maturity; however, there is still ample scope for cost reduction through material diversification and technology innovation.
Currently, Asia Pacific is the major market in the onshore wind energy sector, with China and India spearheading growth in the region. Supportive government subsidy schemes and renewable energy installation targets are some of the major factors driving investments in the onshore wind energy industry. China led the onshore wind energy market, with record installations of 16030 MW in 2013. In relatively mature markets such as Europe and the U.S., the growth in onshore wind energy installations has hit a plateau. Europe was once a major centre for onshore wind development. However, the region is still reeling from the economic crisis. It is struggling to maintain its renewable energy subsidy bills. Germany and the U.K. accounted for over 65% of annual installations in Europe in 2013. Strong strategic targets for capacity additions under the European directive are still in force in the region. Capacity installations are likely to pick up as the economy recovers further. The U.S. is still one of the leading markets for onshore wind industry; however, the country registered a sudden decline in installations in 2013 due to the withdrawal of production tax credit (PTC) scheme by the government. Brazil is expected to be an attractive market for wind power developers in Latin America. The onshore wind energy industries in Argentina and Costa Rica have exhibited promising development.
The market for wind turbines has been broadly segmented into four categories depending on their size. With rapid technological innovations, large wind turbines are turning out to be more feasible for large wind farm installations. These large wind turbines reduce cost of construction and power generation. Large wind turbines could emerge as one of the most cost-efficient options for onshore wind energy in the near future. Decline in natural gas prices in some regions, especially in North America, in the aftermath of the shale gas boom would hamper wind energy installations. Countries are likely to opt for cheaper and reliable generation from natural gas, which also meets the emission standards. In 2013, developed economies experienced a wave of downward revisions for addition of renewable targets and support mechanisms related to the onshore wind energy sector. Additionally, increasing competition in the industry continues to affect the manufacturing supply chain.
This research is designed to estimate, analyze and forecast the market volume and revenue for the wind power generation market. It provides an in-depth analysis of the market size of wind power in terms of capacity (MW) and revenue (USD Billion). Key players in the market include Gamesa Corporacion Tecnologica SA, Siemens Wind Power, Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Goldwind Science and Technology Co., Ltd and Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd. The report provides an overview of these companies, followed by their financial revenue, business strategies and recent developments. The research analyzes and estimates the performance and market for onshore wind energy globally. It provides a detailed trend analysis of the market in terms of geography. It also offers a comprehensive analysis of companies that deal in onshore wind energy systems. The report provides a thorough assessment of strategies followed by different stakeholders by segmenting the onshore wind energy market as follows:

The invention relates to an electro-mechanical force motor device for converting a controlled electrical input signal into a mechanical movement, particularly for actuation of a hydraulic pilot or servo device. The basic component of the invention is a linear electric force motor with its principal components coaxially disposed and arranged to achieve linear mechanical displacement in accordance with an applied signal of voltage. The armature or coil element of the linear force motor is coupled to a double-acting bellows, which not only serves as a double-acting return spring, but also totally isolates the magnetic and electro magnetic elements of the force motor from the controlled system. This is of particular significance in connection with the electro-hydraulic pilot and servo devices, for example, in which the circulating hydraulic fluid inevitably contains suspended magnetic particles which otherwise can eventually accumulate on the magnetic components of the force motor and impede its normal functioning.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 458,714, filed Apr. 8, 1974, now abandoned.
A variety of mechanisms are available for converting a controlled electrical input signal into a variable, controlled output of an hydraulic device. Typical, such devices are reflected in, for example, the Moog U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,625,136, 2,931,343 and 3,228,423, Paine U.S. Pat. No. 2,832,318, Nelson U.S. Pat. No. 3,001,549, Hawk U.S. Pat. No. 3,430,656, Markson U.S. Pat. No. 2,904,075, Arnett U.S. Pat. No. 3,182,561, Andrews U.S. Pat. No. 3,457,956, Orloff U.S. Pat. No. 3,027,917, O'Brien U.S. Pat. No. 3,323,090, and Lantz U.S. Pat. No. 2,836,154, as well as the McCormick U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,498,329 and 3,516,441. While many of these prior art mechanisms have a certain level of operability, all suffer from significant disadvantages, either operational or economical, or both. Most are quite complex and therefore extremely costly to manufacture, severely limiting their practical utilization. Others have significant operational shortcomings, in terms of non-linearity, inability to stand up under industrial conditions, or the like.
The present invention provides a unique linear force motor, suitable particularly for electro-hydraulic pilot or servo devices, which is not only very economical to manufacture, but is extremely reliable in operation. The mechanism of the invention is highly simplified in nature, such that it may be produced at relatively low cost. And, with less mechanical complication, operating and maintenance advantages are realized.
In accordance with one of the specific features of the invention, an electrical linear force motor arrangement is coupled through a balanced, double-acting linear bellows to a linear output element, typically an hydraulic pilot or servo valve. The arrangement of the parts is such that the electrical coil and magnetic components associated therewith are completely isolated from the linear output element by the double-acting bellows. The bellows is selected to have a predetermined spring characteristics such that it serves both as a double-acting return spring and as an isolating barrier.
Because of the complete isolation of the electrical coil area from the output element, the coil is not exposed to hydraulic fluid from the controlled system which substantially reduces maintenance problems and improves operation.
The electro-mechanical linear force motor of the invention, while highly simplified in its basic structure and operation, still provides a high degree of versatility in its use, including simple and reliable arrangements for effecting zero-set adjustment, and provision for manual override.
The basic force motor is ideally suited for utilization for a wide variety of electro-hydraulic combinations.
For a better understanding of the above and other features and advantages of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description and to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross sectional view of an electro-hydraulic flow proportional pilot valve incorporating the features of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view taken generally along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary, longitudinal cross sectional view of a linear-to-rotary servo mechanism incorporating features of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary cross sectional view taken generally along the line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
Referring now to the drawing, and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, there is illustrated an electro-hydraulic flow proportional valve assembly, in which the flow of hydraulic fluid through a valve is proportional to an applied signal voltage. The mechanism includes a linear electrical force motor section 10, coupled to a utilization device in the form of a four-way fluid valve 11. In the illustrated arrangement, a single casting 12 houses portions of both the valve and force motor, although such integral relationship is not significant to the invention.
In the force motor section 10, the casting 12 includes a cylindrical motor housing 13, provided with threads 14 at its open end to receive a threaded cylindrical end cap 15. An annular magnetic pole piece 16 is received within the cap 15, seated against the end of the housing 13. An annular permanent magnet 17 is seated against the annular pole piece 16 and is in contact with flanges 18 of a magnetic base member 19. The flanges 18 of the base member are engaged by inturned flanges 20 of the cylindrical cap 15 such that, when the cap is secured tightly on the housing 13, the pole piece 16, magnet 17, and magnetic base 19 are tightly clamped in place. The base 19 is provided with an inwardly projecting cylindrical core 21, to which is secured by bolts 22 or other suitable means, a disc-like section 23 of magnetic material. The section 23 is positioned concentrically within the annular or outer pole piece 16, and comprises an inner pole piece of a magnetic flux circuit. The two pole pieces 16, 23 define between them a predetermined annular air gap 24. In this respect it will be noted that the permanent magnet element 17 is axially polarized, such that the outer pole piece 16 constitutes one pole, while the inner pole piece 23 constitutes an opposite pole of the magnetic circuit.
Mounted within the motor housing 13, in accordance with the invention, is an hydraulic bellows assembly 25, consisting of axially aligned, opposed, balanced bellows sections 26, 27. At one end the bellows assembly 25 is secured to a mounting plate 28, having an aperture 29 communicating with the interior of the bellows assembly and receiving a rod-like operating element 30. The bellows mounting plate 28 may be secured to the housing 13 by bolts 31, with a fluid-tight seal being provided between the housing 13 and the mounting plate, surrounding the opening 29, by means of a suitable O-ring or the like 32.
The bellows assembly 25 incorporates a commercially available form of accordion-like metallic bellows spring, as manufactured and sold by Robertshaw Controls, under Part A00936A21. The bellows spring, typically, is formed of a tubular section of vermilion copper, having a wall thickness of, for example, 0.0045 inch. The tubular section is hydraulically shaped over a suitable mandril, to provide the desired accordion-like configuration, and then is appropriately heat treated to achieve spring characteristics, all in accordance with generally known manufacturing techniques.
The bellows spring should be placed under an initial pre-compression (or, pre-tension) such that, at all times the bellows is operating in a state of compression (or tension) within the operating range of the device. It is intended that the bellows not be actuated through its "mechanical zero" condition, as the linearity of the output would be adversely affected. In a small size unit, a bellows assembly may have an over-all nominal length of about 1.062 inch, and this may be pre-compressed to an over-all length of about 1.000 inch.
As shown in FIG. 1, the operating element 30 projects through the plate opening 29, and also through an opening 33 into the valve housing, for operating an hydraulic valve spool or plunger 34, as will be described hereafter.
At its opposite end, the bellows assembly 25 is sealed off by an end plate 35 to which an adjusting pedestal 36 is secured. The adjusting pedestal 36 is slidably received in aligned openings 37, 38 in the base member 19 and pole piece 23, respectively, and has a threaded outer end portion 39 engaged by a nut 40. The position of the bellows end plate 35 relative to the motor housing 13 may be adjusted by manipulation of the nut 40, which is held seated against a shoulder 41 forming the bottom of a threaded recess in the base member. An externally threaded collar 43 engages the threaded recess and bears against the outer end surface of the adjusting nut 40, retaining it in position against the end surface 41 of the recess.
In the mechanism illustrated in FIG. 1, a cup-like armature member, generally designated by the numeral 44, is received within the housing 13 and has a bottom plate element 45 forming an apertured center wall of the bellows assembly 25, to which the rod-like operating member 30 is anchored at 46. Suitable axial openings 47 are provided in the plate 45, within the bellows assembly 25, to prevent a build-up within the bellows of any fluid pressure differentials between the bellow sections 26, 27.
Externally of the bellows assembly, the plate 45 is connected to a cylindrical cup wall 48, which is coaxial with the operator 30, the bellows assembly 25 and the annular air gap 24. The cup wall 48 extends into the air gap and mounts an electrical coil 49. The coil 49 consists of an appropriate number of turns of fine wire wound about the cylindrical armature wall 48 and forming a coaxial coil symmetrically received within the air gap 24. The ends of the coil form leads 50, 51 connected to terminals 52, 53, which are accessible externally of the motor housing 13. In intended operation, one lead (e.g., 50) is connected to the neutral or midpoint 54 of a DC voltage supply 55, which is connected to a resistor element 56 of a voltage dividing potentiometer. The slide wire element 57 of the potentiometer is connected to the other terminal 51.
When the slide wire 57 is in its neutral or mid position, no voltage is developed across the coil 49, and thus, no current flows therein. As the slide is moved off of its neutral position in either direction, a voltage will be applied to the coil, and the polarity and level of such voltage will be a function of the direction and amplitude of displacement of the slide wire. When a current is thus caused to flow in the coil 49, the armature 44 will be urged to move relative to the magnetic pole piece 16, 23, in one axial direction depending upon voltage polarity. When the coil is thus displaced, it will act through the cylindrical wall 48 and plate 45 to compress one side of the bellows assembly while extending the other. The metallic bellows assembly 25, having a constant linear spring rate within the operational range of the apparatus, will thus permit linear axial movement of the armature 44 and the operating element 30, which is directly proportional to the amplitude of the current in the coil.
In the device illustrated in FIG. 1, the operating element 30, which is driven by the force motor, is connected to the hydraulic valve spool 34. The valve housing 60, within which the spool is slidably guided, includes a pressure inlet port P, a pair of exhaust ports E1, E2, and a pair of control ports C1,C2. In the neutral position of the valve spool, its central land 61 isolates the pressure port P, as well as the exhaust ports E1, E2, from the two control ports. However, if the spool is shifted to the right, in response to electrical energization of the force motor, the exhaust port E2 is partly opened to the control port C2, and the pressure port P is partly opened to the control port C1, providing for a controlled flow of pressure fluid to the port C1 and a controlled flow of exhaust fluid from the control port C2. The volume of such flow will, of course, be a function of the linear displacement of the valve spool 34, which in turn is a linear function of the voltage applied to the coil 49 by means of a slide wire 57. And thus, the controlled fluid flow is directly proportional to the electrical signal applied.
As will be readily understood, energization of the coil 49 with a voltage of opposite polarity, will displace the armature to the left, directing pressure fluid into the control port C2 and permitting exhaust fluid to flow from the control port C1, with the flow again being proportional to the voltage applied to the coil 49.
In the neutral or unenergized condition of the coil 49, the valve spool desirably is precisely centered in relation to the various exhaust ports and the pressure ports. To achieve this condition, the bellows-supporting pedestal 36 may be adjusted axially, as required, and then fixed in position by the locking nut 40 and threaded collar 43.
Unbalanced hydraulic forces on the valve spool 34 are prevented by providing open exhaust passages 62, 63 communicating with end chambers 64, 65 of the valve housing, so that there can be no build-up of hydraulic pressure within these chambers. It will be noted, in this respect, that the interior of the bellows assembly 25 is open to the valve end chamber 65 and thus could be exposed to the fluids leaked by the end of the valve spool. However, in accordance with the invention, the presence of any such fluids cannot affect the force balance of the unit. Importantly, operating fluid is completely isolated by the bellows assembly 25 from the area of the coil and magnetic gap 24, so that the gap does not become contaminated by fluid-borne magnetic particles.
It should be understood that the bellows assembly 25 does not require the use of a full central plate 45, forming in effect separate left and right bellows sections 26, 27. It is quite sufficient, for the purposes of the invention, for the bellows assembly to comprise a single elongated metallic bellows unit, with the cylindrical armature wall 48 being secured to the exterior of the bellows wall, at its midpoint. The manner of such securing should be such that the armature wall is attached to circumferentially spaced points, so that the force relationship between the cup wall 48 and the bellows is symmetrically distributed, relative to the principal longitudinal axes of the unit. This assures that there is no tendency to tilt or skew the bellows, when the force motor is energized. In such cases, the operator element 30 is likewise secured to the interior of the bellows unit at a plurality of circumferentially spaced points in substantially the same plan that the armature wall 48 is secured.
As will be understood, the principles of the invention are applicable to the use of the basic force motor unit in conjunction with a variety of output devices, of which the flow proportional valve 11 is only illustrative. By way of further example, another advantageous form of output device is the rotary servo actuator arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
FIG. 3 shows the actuator in longitudinal cross section, with the linear force motor section 10 removed. However, it will be understood that the unit of FIGS. 3 and 4 is coupled to a linear force motor 10 as by means of a linear operator element 30', corresponding to the element 30 of FIG. 1. The operator element 30' is connected to a valve spool 70 slidable linearly in a valve housing 71. In accordance with the invention, the valve spool 70 is non-rotatably secured to the operating element 30', which in turn is non-rotatably mounted by the bellows assembly of the force motor, such that the valve spool is movable along its axis but is not rotatable about its axis. The actuator housing 71, on the other hand, is mounted by suitable thrust bearing means, (not shown) for rotary movement about the spool 70, while being retained against axial movement.
FIG. 4 illustrates the housing 71 in its neutral or balanced rotary position relative to the valve spool 70. It is retained in such position by pistons 72, 73 of hydraulic servo actuator units 74, 75 respectively, which are connected at 76, 77 to opposed lever arms 78, 79 secured to the rotary housing 71.
As reflected in FIG. 3, the spool 70 is provided on one side with a pair of diagonally disposed machined or ground recesses 80, 81, providing recessed flow passages. On the opposite side of the spool, similar diagonally disposed recesses 82, 83 are provided. Fluid control ports C1, C2 are provided in the valve housing 71, connected to arcuate recesses 84 (FIG. 4). The axial dimension of the diagonally disposed spool recesses 80-83 is such that, in any linear position of the valve spool 70, within its operating range, an appropriate one of the recesses 80 or 82 will communicate with the control port C1 and an appropriate one of the spool recesses 81 or 83 will communicate with the control port C2. Likewise, the circumferential length of the housing recess 84 is such that the appropriate spool recesses will remain in communication with the associated control port in any rotary position of the valve housing 71 within its operating range.
The "near" side of the valve housing, as reflected in FIG. 3, is provided with a pressure port P1 and an exhaust port E1 which, in the neutral positions of the spool 70 and the housing 71 are immediately adjacent the right-hand side edges of the diagonal flow recesses 80, 81, and approximately centered between the upper and lower limits of these recesses as viewed in FIG. 3. Thus, any axial movement of the spool 70 to the right will put the control port C1 in communication with the pressure port P1, through the recess 80, and will put the control port C2 in communication with the exhaust port E1, through the passage provided by the recess 81.
On the opposite side of the valve housing 71, an exhaust port E2 and pressure port P2 are provided immediately adjacent the left-hand edge extremities of the diagonal recesses 82, 83, approximately midway between the upper and lower limits thereof as viewed in FIG. 3. Thus, movement of the spool 70 left, from the balanced position illustrated in FIG. 3, will put the control port C1 in communication with the exhaust port E2, through the recess 82, and will put the control port C2 in communication with the pressure port P2, through the recess 83.
As reflected in FIG. 4, the control ports C1, C2 are connected, respectively, to the actuators 74, 75. Thus, if the spool 70 is shifted to the right in FIG. 3, by application of an electrical signal by the force motor, the recesses 80, 81 will operlap, respectively, the pressure port P1 and exhaust port E1, admitting pressure fluid into the control port C1 and permitting exhaust fluid to flow through the control port C2. Pressure fluid flowing through the control port C1 enters the actuator 75 and rotates the housing 71 in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 4. By reason of the diagonal disposition of the spool recesses 80, 81, continued counterclockwise rotation of the valve housing 71 will eventually move the valve ports P1, E1 out of communication with the respective spool recesses 80, 81. As will be readily understood, the extent of rotary movement of the housing 71 is required to re-close the ports E1, P1 and restore a neutral hydraulic balance will be directly proportional to the extent of linear displacement of the spool 70. Thus, rotary displacement of the unit 71 will be a direct function of the electrical signal applied to the force motor. In this respect, energizing the force motor with an opposite polarity will cause the spool to shift to the left, bringing the recesses 82, 83 in communication with the ports P2, E2 respectively, at which time control port C2 contains pressure fluid and control port C1 is connected to exhaust. This will bring about a clockwise rotation of the housing 71, proportional to the leftward displacement of the spool 70, until hydraulic balance is restored.
The basic linear force motor unit 10, regardless of the utilization device to which it is connected, constitutes a substantial improvement over available devices for these purposes. A significant feature of the device is the use of a double-acting bellows arrangement, connected in coaxial relationship to an electrical driving coil and serving to completely isolate the coil from an operating or output element, which is also secured to the bellows arrangement in concentric relation with both the bellows and the driving coil. The arrangement accommodates an advantageous association of the force motor with a wide variety of utilization devices. To great advantage, these utilization devices may be hydraulic servo or pilot units, which can be operated to respond with precision to controlled electrical input to the driving coil of the force motor.
In the illustrated system, the driving coil is disposed concentrically outside of the bellows while the operating element is arranged coaxially within the bellows. In principle, this association could be reversed, the significant relationship being that the bellows serves to completely isolate one from the other, thus permitting the driving coil to operate in a "dry" condition, free of exposure to hydraulic fluids, for example, flowing in a utilization device.
The force motor unit of the invention is of an inherently simplified construction, providing for a highly economical manufacture. At the same time, however, it is extremely reliable in operation, and provides for a highly precise response by way of a linear displacement of the operator 30 in direct proportion to the level of the voltage applied.
In the illustrated forms of the invention, the utilization devices are, respectively, a flow proportional control valve (FIGS. 1 and 2) and a rotary servo actuator (FIGS. 3 and 4). The flow proportional control device serves to provide for a controlled flow of hydraulic fluid as a direct function of the level and polarity of the applied voltage. The rotary servo actuator provides for a precise rotary displacement of a control element as a direct function of linear displacement of the force operating element, which in turn is a direct function of the level and polarity of the voltage applied.
One of the significant advantages of the new force motor unit resides in the fact that all of the movable components are concentrically aligned on the principal longitudinal axis and arranged for movement in the direction of such axis. Thus, the mechanical movements have a direct linear relationship to the applied electrical signal, over the full operating range of the device, as distinguished from, for example, the class of prior art device in which electrical input signals are utilized to effect pivotal displacement of a lever-like element, such that linearity of the mechanical output in relation to the electrical signal input can only be approximated.
It should be understood, of course, that the specific forms of the invention herein illustrated and described are intended to be representative only, as certain changes may be made therein without departing from the clear teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following appended claims in determing the full scope of the invention.

In response to the letter to the editor regarding prescription waste on January 16, 2008, I want to inform readers that there are disposal options for unwanted medicine within the City of Palo Alto. Residents can bring their unwanted pharmaceuticals to the Regional Water Quality Control Plant at 2501 Embarcadero Way, Palo Alto, CA during business hours M-F or to the monthly Household Hazardous Waste Days (the First Saturday of the Month). A list of these disposal locations is located at www.cleanbay.org.

Updated 9/4/13
Middle School Singing Competition for Grades 5-8 will be held on April 16th, 2015 @ the High School Auditorium (click headline above for flyer)
Tori Brockett ,Casey Carroll, Piper Chimento, Hannah Crown, Caroline Crown, Rachel Enriquez, Chloe Fandozzi, Naomi Ferenczy, Carly Isabelle, Rachel Marino, Keegan O'Callaghan, Michael O'Connor, Lindsey Penet, Jordan Towns, Ashraf Matter (who displayed an amazing 3D printer that he made) , Aiden Boehm (3rd place winner for 7th grade) and Dylan Leonardo and Dillon Hynes (3rd place winners for 5th grade)
On Friday March 20th the student council hosted the annual 7th & 8th grade semi formal. The theme was a night in London. Thank you to the student council and student council advisors Mrs. Bergman and Mr. Ferenczy for a great evening.
Alan Ingalls Jr., Suvin Sanpal, Meadow Bell and Samantha Karlsson are the winners of their respective grade level vocabulary quiz contest. As part of a school wide vocabulary initiative students in each grade level are challenged to learn a new vocabulary word each week. At the end of 10 weeks students take a quiz on the words they have learned. The students with the highest scores are entered into a drawing for a prize. Ask your student what word they learned this week!
On the evening of March 18th the 7th and 8th grade band and chorus students performed for friends and family members. Directed by Mrs. Edwards and Mr. Richards there were performances by the 7th and 8th grade band, 7th grade chorus, 8th grade chorus and a combined 7th and 8th grade chorus. Among the music selections were Highlights from Walt Disney's Aladdin, California Dreamin', You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray and Skye Boat Song. The next 7th and 8th grade concert will be on June 9th.
Although Pi Day is always special in the middle school why is it so special this year you ask? The date is 3/14/15, those are the first five digits in the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter! AND as if that wasn't enough reason to celebrate at 26 minutes and 53 seconds after 9 a.m (and again at 9 p.m), we will pass a date and time represented by the first 10 digits of π. This won't happen again for another 100 years!
After reading the book "Sir Circumference and the First Round Table" and learning lots of cool Pi facts they used compasses to draw "perfect" circles.
On March 7th six teams with a total of 48 students from the middle school competed in two divisions of the Region 4 Odyssey of the Mind Competition. They brought home a 1st place finish, two 4th place finishes, a 5th place finish, a 7th place finish and a 9th place finish. The 8th grade team of Mary Kate Ames, Brenna Coleman, Alison Wallace, Maggie Squier, Anna Marino, Megan Betke and Myah Perino that placed first in their division will compete at the state tournament on April 11th at Binghamton University.
Ms. Ulion's accelerated science class has worked very hard over the past month designing and implementing their own unique science experiments. After extensive research, not only did they design and perform their experiments, but they also wrote formal lab reports with detailed scientific conclusions. Each student was given 3-6 scientific questions to research to help them explain why their results occurred. The students hard work and firm understanding of the science involved in their experiment was evident to all who attended.
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Middle School Idol Contest

Atlas Sound now shipping two new sound masking products
PHOENIX. AZ, July 28, 2008 -Two new sound masking products are now available from Atlas Sound. Designed expressly for security masking applications with requirements exceeding the capabilities of traditional components, the M2000-SM Surface Mount Masking Transducer are now offered along with the M2000-LP Low Profile Masking Speaker.
The M2000-SM is built for window, door, wall, and duct applications where the need for sound masking security is paramount. The subtle design of the deviceâs two-part transducer/transformer provides discrete placement and mounting options. Incorporating NXT⢠Exciter Technology in a 1-inch, coil-mounted plate, the transducer offers the simplicity of âpeel-and-stickâ? installation, while the transformer can be remote-mounted and adjusted with variable tap settings at ¼, ½, 1, 2, and 4 watts.
A low-profile sound masking loudspeaker measuring 7 ½â? wide by 2 5/8â? high and 7â? deep, the M2000-LP weighs only 3 pounds and is designed for use in raised access flooring and small plenum ceilings. Delivering 90 dB at one watt / one meter through two 2â? x 4â? paper cone speakers, the loudspeaker comes with a built-in 70V transformer outfitted with variable tap settings ranging from ¼ to 4 watts that can be adjusted via a front-mounted switch. Perfect for applications where construction constraints once made true sound masking security and speech privacy complicated, the M2000-LP, like the M2000-SM, is value-engineered to deliver professional performance at an affordable price.
Now shipping, the M2000-SM has a suggested retail price of $153. Slated for release early in the third quarter of this year, the M2000-LP will list for $184. As the latest complements to an existing catalog of other sound masking components, these products and all other Atlas offerings can be viewed online along with additional information at www.atlassound.com.

New Blooms
Finally got 2 more. Tropic Sun . . .
Just put a comma after your first picture then add the code for the next one.
That is a mighty pretty and bright gold on Tropic SUn! MY Razz-ma-taz is going gangbuster this year! I am loving her...she goes with every other color in bouquets and is blooming her sweet head off! I have had her before but never a great plant like this years!
Thanks everyone - it was love at first sight for both! There is nothing like seeing others' pictures of dahlias except maybe growing your own and watching them open. If these two produce good tubers we'll have some to share!
Lizalily - thanks for the tip about posting more than 1. I couldn't find that info anywhere. I can see why you like Raz-Ma-Taz so much. I will have more than 1 plant next year!
