1. An exterior mirror for a vehicle comprising:
a mirror housing assembly including a reflective element normally facing in a direction for viewing rearward;
an attachment assembly including at least one attachment arm and a sail portion for attaching the mirror housing assembly to the exterior of the vehicle, said sail portion being directly attached to the vehicle, said sail portion including a microphone/speaker; and
a folding mechanism operably folding and maintaining the mirror in a forward direction whereby the overall width dimension of the vehicle is reduced.
The instant plication claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/160,390, filed Oct. 19, 1999.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to a mirror assembly and more particularly to an exterior mirror assembly for a vehicle.
2. Discussion
Due to constraints for shipping vehicles, especially those for large trucks, mirror assemblies for these vehicles are often times not designed with a heavy emphasis on their appearance or functionality. In shipping vehicles, it is frequently a constraint that the mirror assemblies can not extend outwardly of any other portion of the vehicle. Accordingly, mirror assemblies were typically designed as flat as possible so that they could be rotated backward to comply with the above shipping constraint.
Construction of the mirror assembly in this manner often resulted in a device having a generic appearance which did not compliment or accent the appearance of the vehicle in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Furthermore, it was not possible with such designs to utilize the mirror assembly for anything other than housing and supporting a reflective element.
It is one object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly which pivots in a forward direction to retract the mirror housings inward from the edges of the vehicle body.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly which includes a housing assembly having a hinged closure member which covers an accessory cavity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly having an accessory attachment point which is adapted to fixedly but releasably accept a vehicle accessory.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly with a resilient bump strip coupled to the mirror housing assembly to prevent scuffing and damage to the mirror assembly when the mirror assembly is brought into contact with an object.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly having a housing assembly with improved rigidity.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a mirror assembly which may be fabricated in a modular manner to incorporate one or more selectively positionable mirror orientation mechanisms.
A mirror assembly having a housing assembly, a reflective element, a reflective element adjusting mechanism, an attachment assembly and a wire harness is provided. The housing assembly includes a housing which is filled with a structural foam to improve the rigidity of the mirror assembly, and a scalp which according to one embodiment, may be fixedly but removably coupled to the housing. Alternatively, the scalp may be hingedly coupled to the housing to permit access to a cavity formed therebetween. The cavity may be used for storing various articles, including a corded light, or may be used to house a switch unit for controlling various vehicle electrical components, such as a vehicle radio or various vehicle lights. A resilient bump strip may be coupled to the housing to protect the housing from scuffing or damage that results from contact with another object.
Housing assembly houses the reflective element adjusting mechanism and the reflective element. The attachment assembly is coupled to a vehicle at a first end and to the housing assembly at the second end. The attachment assembly preferably includes a pair of laterally extending arms which may be telescoped between a first and second positions to space the housing assembly further from or closer to the vehicle. The pair of laterally extending arms are selectively positionable at an operating position, as well as first and second rotational positions. The first rotational position places the housing against the side of the vehicle proximate a side window. Rotation of the arms in a forward direction places into the second rotational position places the housing inward of the sides of the vehicle above the vehicle fenders or hood.
Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
Mirror assembly 10 includes a housing assembly 14, a reflective element 16, a reflective element adjusting means (not shown), an attachment assembly 20, a first drive mechanism 22, a second drive mechanism 24 and a wire harness 26. Wire harness 26 couples the vehicle electrical system to each of the various electrical devices in mirror assembly 10. Housing assembly 14 includes a housing 30 and a scalp 32. Housing 30 is preferably unitarily formed from a molded plastic material and includes a conventional attaching means which is employed to fixedly but removably couple the reflective element adjusting means to housing 30. Housing 30 also houses and supports reflective element 16.
With brief reference to
Referring back to
Due to the relative ease with which scalp 32 may be coupled to housing 30, scalp 32 may be configured in a manner which enhances the decorative appearance of mirror assembly. For example, scalp 32 may be molded from a colored plastic or painted so as to either match or accent the color of vehicle 12. As another example, a decorative design may be molded into the exterior surface 40 of scalp 32.
The reflective element adjusting means is fixedly but removably coupled to housing 30. Preferably, the reflective element adjusting means is an electronically or manually controlled adjusting mechanism that is well known in the art and which permits the position of the reflective element 16 to adjusted from the passenger compartment of vehicle 12. Alternatively, the reflective element adjusting means is a manually controlled adjusting mechanism that is well known in the art which is actuated by a force directed to reflective element 16.
Reflective element 16 is preferably fixedly but removably coupled to the reflective element adjusting means, and as such is selectively positionable relative to housing 30. In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, reflective element 16 is fabricated from mirror glass, which may be heated and/or may include other characteristics such as electrochromic properties and hydrophobic or hydrophilic coatings. Reflective element 16 may also be constructed in a manner, which permits it to be readily removed from the reflective element adjusting means for servicing of mirror assembly 10, and/or replacement of reflective element 16.
Housing assembly 14 is coupled to attachment assembly 20. In the particular embodiment illustrated, attachment assembly 20 includes a sail portion 50, first and second arms 52 and 54, respectively, and an approach light 56. Sail portion 50 is attached to vehicle 12 via threaded posts or other conventional connectors. A seal is typically interposed between sail portion 50 and vehicle 12 to isolate the interior of vehicle 12 from moisture, dirt and noise.
Each of the first and second arms 52 and 54 include a first laterally extending structure 60 and a second laterally extending structure 62. The first and second laterally extending structures 60 and 62 may be moved in an axial direction relative to one another to permit first and second arms 52 and 54 to telescope inwardly toward vehicle 12 or outwardly therefrom. In the particular embodiment illustrated, first laterally extending structure 60 is fixedly coupled to housing assembly 14 and second laterally extending structure 62 is coupled to sail portion 50.
With reference to
First tubular member 72 is sized to glidingly receive second tubular member 76. The interior surface of second cover member 74 is spaced apart from second tubular member 76 to permit sliding engagement between first and second tubular members 72 and 76. The interior surface of first cover member 70 is spaced apart from first tubular member 72 to permit sliding engagement between first and second cover members 70 and 74. As the function of the first and second cover members 70 and 74 is primarily cosmetic, they may have cross-sections that are round, square, rectangular, elliptical or any other desired shape.
Each of the second laterally extending structures 62 is disposed at least partially within a respective first laterally extending structure 60. The first and second laterally extending structures 60 and 62 may be moved in an axial direction relative to one another to permit first and second arms 52 and 54 to telescope inwardly toward vehicle 12 or outwardly therefrom. A pair of first rollers 80 are coupled to second tubular member 76 and extend through slots 82 formed in its rear sidewall 84. First rollers 80 are journally supported by a pin 86 for rotation about an axes that are perpendicular to the axis of the first and second arms 52 and 54. A second roller 90 is coupled to an opposite side of second tubular member 76 and extends through a slot 92 formed in its front sidewall 94. Second roller 90 is also journally supported by a pin 96 for rotation about another axis that is perpendicular to the axis of the first and second arms 52 and 54. Pin 96 is disposed in a slot 98 formed in second tubular member 76. A spring 100 is coupled to second tubular member 76 and is operable for urging pin 96 in a direction away from the first rollers 80 and against the inner surface of the first tubular member 72. Each set of first and second rollers 80 and 90 cooperate to control relative movement between the first and second laterally extending structures 60 and 62 in non-axial directions. Structural foam 38 retains first laterally extending structure 60 to housing assembly 14 while providing structural support to inhibit the flexing of the first and second arms 52 and 54 relative to one another.
First drive mechanism 22 is operable for telescoping first and second arms 52 and 54 between an extended position and a retracted position. First drive mechanism 22 may be configured in a manner similar to that disclosed in commonly assigned Australian Provisional Patent Application Serial No. PP8619 filed Feb. 9, 1999 entitled �Means For Extending Or Retracting Telescopic Tubes�, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
Alternatively, as shown in
Intermediate worm structure 112 includes an intermediate worm gear 126 and first and second intermediate worm drives 128 and 130.
Intermediate worm structure 112 is coupled to housing assembly 14 for rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the output shaft of motor 120 such that intermediate worm gear 126 meshingly engages drive worm 122.
Upper and lower worm structures 114 and 116 are similar in construction, and as such, only upper worm structure 114 will be discussed in detail. Upper worm structure 114 includes a worm gear 136, a lead screw 138 and a drive member 140. Worm gear 136 meshingly engages first intermediate worm drive 128. A ball bearing 144 and a preload spring assembly 146 cooperate to align worm gear 136 to first intermediate worm drive 128. Worm gear 136 and lead screw 138 are coupled for rotation with one another. Lead screw 138 includes a externally threaded surface 148 which is rotatably supported by first tubular member 72 along the axis parallel to the axis of first arm 52. Drive member 140 includes an internally threaded surface (not shown) which meshingly engages the externally threaded surface 148 of lead screw 138. Drive member 140 is fixedly coupled to the upper and lower surfaces of second tubular member 76.
Rotation of the output shaft of motor 120 therefore causes lead screws 138 to rotate in a corresponding direction which exerts a force onto the drive members 140 to cause the first tubular members 72 to telescope inwardly to or outwardly from their corresponding second tubular members 76.
Second drive mechanism 24 is illustrated in
Unlike the above reference drive mechanism, second drive mechanism 24 is shown to include a shaft 170 which is fixed for rotation with worm gear 164. First and second pinions 172 and 174, respectively, are coupled to either end of shaft 170 and fixed for rotation thereon. First and second pinions 172 and 174 are meshingly engaged with a respective drive gear 176 which is supported for rotation about a pivot pin 178. Drive gear 176 a is coupled for rotation with first arm 52 and drive gear 176 b is coupled for rotation with second arm 54. Accordingly, rotation of powered worm 162 is operable for rotating shaft 170 to cause first and second arms 52 and 54 to rotate simultaneously in a desired direction.
First and second drive mechanisms 22 and 24 may be coupled to a programmable controller 200 which permits the vehicle operator to store a given mirror orientation to memory. The mirror orientation may include information on the position of reflective element 16, as well as the telescopic and rotational positions of housing assembly 14 relative to sail portion 50. Retrieval of the stored mirror orientation causes controller to actuate the first and second drive mechanisms 22 and 24, and the reflective element adjusting means as necessary to adjust the reflective element to the stored mirror orientation.
Alternatively, one or both of the power drive mechanisms may be omitted completely thereby rendering mirror assembly 10 fixing the position of housing assembly 14 relative to vehicle 12. Also alternatively, one or both of the power drive mechanisms may be omitted with a manually actuated mechanism substituted therefor. To control the telescoping movement, a plurality of friction shoes are incorporated into the first and second arms 52 and 54 to provide resistance to their telescopic movement during the operation of vehicle 12. Similarly, to control rotational movement of housing assembly 14, attachment assembly 20 may be fitted with a detent mechanism having a plurality of detents which fixedly but releasably restrain first and second arms 52 and 54 in a desired orientation.
As illustrated in
In situations such as this, mirror assembly 10 may advantageously be oriented to its forward-rotated position 194 to substantially clear the area proximate the side window of the vehicle 12. This position is also advantageous in that the housing assembly 14 is positioned substantially inward of the lateral side of vehicle 12, thereby permitting housing assembly 14 to be relatively deep in comparison to similar mirrors which can only be rotated to a rearward rotated position 190. Consequently, housing 30 and scalp 32 need not be designed in a relatively flat manner, but may be extended to address aesthetic and aerodynamic issues.
Returning to
Alternatively, approach light 56 may be configured in a manner similar to that disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Provisional Patent to Andrew J. Assinder entitled �Exterior Mirror Having An Attachment Member Including An Approach Light� which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
Other light devices may similarly be incorporated into mirror assembly 10, either in addition to approach light 56 or in substitution thereof. A first example is illustrated in
A second example is illustrated in
A third example is further illustrated in
Attachment assembly 20 may also be fitted with various other accessories, such as a spoiler. In
An accessory attachment point 240 may be provided in attachment assembly 20 or housing assembly 14. As illustrated in
Similarly, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
One or more audio speakers may also be integrated into mirror assembly 10. As illustrated in
While the invention has been described in the specification and illustrated in the drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention as defined herein. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment illustrated by the drawings and described in the specification as the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out this invention.

A source close to Everton starlet Jack Rodwell has revealed the 19-year-old faces up to month on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
The midfielder, who is rumoured to be a last minute target of Sir Alex Ferguson, picked up a knock in Sunday's 1-0 away defeat to Aston Villa.
Making his first Premier League start of the season at Villa Park, Rodwell was replaced in the 70th minute by fellow young-gun Seamus Coleman.
Rodwell's injury was at first thought to be minore but an insider said he faces up to a month of intensive physiotherapy.
Rodwell was at the heart of the Blues' 5-1 drubbing of Huddersfield in midweek, but he looks to have been thwarted at the peak of his form by the injury which could see him miss key games against Manchester United and Liverpool.
The 19-year-old has been the subject transfer deadline day speculation this weekend, with United reported to be offering Michael Carrick plus cash for Rodwell's signature.
While that deal now looks unlikely, David Moyes does have form for bringing in players on the last day of the transfer window, having sealed club record signing Marouane Fellaini in an 11th hour £15m scoop.

Anne Applebaum: The Only Thing That the Museum of American History Doesn't Do Is Teach History
Anne Applebaum, in the Washington Post (6-22-05):
According to its director, the Smithsonian's Museum of American History needs new plumbing, new wiring and better lighting. So desperately does the building require renovation, in fact, that there is talk of shutting the whole place down for a year or two, of bringing in some fresher architecture, even of designing a "museum for the 21st century." But while they're at it, maybe the curators of this hugely popular, hugely prominent museum on the Mall should also spend some time talking about what, precisely, their museum is for .
I realize this is no easy task. Probably best known to generations of Washington children for its large collection of trains, the Museum of American History is the one part of the Smithsonian that justly deserves to be called "the nation's attic." It collects everything from first ladies' gowns to family photo albums to old ballots. It owns, among other things, Helen Keller's watch, Cesar Chavez's union jacket, Thomas Edison's light bulb, and a copy of Elvis Presley's first album. Its current exhibits explore America's campaign against the polio epidemic, the first 50 years of Disneyland, the impact of Brown v. Board of Education and the music of Latin pop star Celia Cruz.
Just about the only thing that the Museum of American History does not do, in fact, is teach anyone American history. That is, it doesn't tell the whole American story, or even chunks of the American story, in chronological order, from Washington to Adams to Jefferson, or from Roosevelt to Truman to Eisenhower. When the museum was built in 1964, this sort of thing probably wasn't necessary. But judging from a group of teenagers whom I recently heard lapse into silence when asked if they could identify Lewis and Clark, I suspect it's now very necessary indeed...
...I'm sure chronology isn't the hottest thing in curatorial science these days, but a museum that tells a chronological story doesn't have to be full of dusty displays and dull captions. The first room of the museum of totalitarianism in Budapest opens with a bank of television sets blaring fascist propaganda on one wall and a bank of television sets blaring communist propaganda on another. Without a single written word, the dilemma of Hungary in the 1940s becomes instantly clear. Apply the same ideas to the American Revolution -- use music, pictures and, yes, George Washington's candlestick -- and it's possible to fascinate even the most video-numbed modern American. Nor are cartoon characters needed to make U.S. history "relevant" either: The language of the American Constitution is the language of the civil rights movement and the language Sen. Barack Obama used in his speech at last year's Democratic convention. An exhibition on the Civil War would naturally include Confederate flags and symbols, which are still the subject of controversy today.
None of which is to say that the museum needs to chuck out Evel Knievel's motorcycle and Judy Garland's ruby slippers or (worse) put them in a pompous exhibition called "Postwar Popular Culture." Why not stick them on the top floor and jumble them together with the "I Like Ike" buttons," Alexander Graham Bell's telephone and the first sewing machine. Let visitors wander through the nation's attic -- but with a better understanding of how the nation got to be here in the first place.

The earliest inhabitants of present-day Ewing Township were Lenni Lenape Native Americans, who lived along the banks of the Delaware River. Pre-colonial subsistence activities in the area included hunting, fishing, pottery-making, and simple farming. Europeans began to colonize the area in the 17th and 18th centuries. One of the earliest European settlers was William Green, and his 1717 farmhouse still stands on the campus of The College of New Jersey.[24]
The area that is now Ewing Township was part of Hopewell Township in Burlington County at the beginning of the 18th century. Hopewell was removed from Burlington County and added to Hunterdon County in 1714.[25][26] By 1719, the area which was to become Ewing Township had been removed from Hopewell Township and added to the newly created Trenton Township.[27] Portions of Trenton Township were incorporated as Ewing Township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 22, 1834, posthumously honoring Charles Ewing for his work as Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. The township became part of the newly created Mercer County on February 22, 1838. After incorporation, Ewing Township received additional territory taken from Lawrence Township and the city of Trenton in 1858, but then gave territory back to the city of Trenton in 1894 and again in 1900.[28]
When it was incorporated in the 19th century, Ewing Township was primarily farmland with a handful of scattered hamlets, including Carleton (now known as Ewing), Cross Keys (now known as Ewingville), Birmingham (now known as West Trenton) and Greensburg (now known as Wilburtha).[29] Since the beginning of the 20th century, the township has developed as a suburb of Trenton. The sections near the city border are distinctly urban, but most of the township is suburban residential development. The main commercial district extends along North Olden Avenue Extension (County Route 622), originally constructed to connect north Trenton residences with the now-closed General Motors Inland Fisher Guide Plant. Ewing Township today is the location of The College of New Jersey, the Community Blood Council of New Jersey, New Jersey State Police headquarters, the Jones Farm State Correction Institute, the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, the New Jersey Department of Transportation headquarters, the Katzenbach School for the Deaf and Trenton-Mercer Airport.
From 1953 until 1997 Ewing was the home of Naval Air Warfare Center Trenton, encompassing 528 acres (214 ha) on Parkway Avenue.[30] It was used as a jet engine test facility for the US Navy until its closure per recommendations of the 1993 Base Closure and Realignment Commission.[30] Nearly 700 civilian positions were lost, most of which were relocated to other facilities in Maryland and Tennessee.[31] The base's Marine operations were transferred to Fort Dix, which has since become Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.[32] A charity to end homelessness acquired the base at no cost in October 2013 in a process involving the United States Department of Defense, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mercer County and Ewing Township.[32]
The first location of an industrial robot used to replace human workers was at Ewing's Inland Fisher Guide Plant in 1961, a facility that operated in the township for 1938 to 1998, after which the plant was demolished and targeted for redevelopment.[33][34][35]
The center of Ewing Township is at 40°15′46″N 74°47′54″W / 40.262722°N 74.798307°W (40.262722,-74.798307). According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 15.599 square miles (40.400 km2), of which, 15.250 square miles (39.497 km2) of it was land and 0.349 square miles (0.903 km2) of it (2.23%) was water.[1][2]
The highest elevation in Ewing Township is 225 feet (69 m) AMSL just east of Interstate 95 and just west of Trenton-Mercer Airport,[36] while the lowest point is just below 20 feet (6.1 m) AMSL along the Delaware River near the border with Trenton.[37]
The largest body of water completely within the township is Lake Sylva,[38] a man-made lake that was created in the 1920s when an earthen dam was constructed across the Shabakunk Creek. The 11-acre (4.5 ha) lake is located on the campus of The College of New Jersey.[39] Water courses in Ewing include the Delaware River along its western boundary and the Shabakunk Creek in the eastern and central portions of the township.
Within the township, a number of distinct neighborhoods exist. These include Altura, Arbor Walk, Braeburn Heights, Briarcrest, Briarwood, Cambridge Hall, Churchill Green, Delaware Rise, Ewing, Ewing Park, Ewingville, Fernwood, Ferry Road Manor, Fleetwood Village, Glendale, Green Curve Heights, Hampton Hills, Heath Manor, Hickory Hill Estates, Hillwood Lakes, Hillwood Manor, Mountainview, Parkway Village, Prospect Heights, Prospect Park, Scudders Falls, Shabakunk Hills, Sherbrooke Manor, Somerset, Spring Meadows, Spring Valley, Village on the Green, Weber Park, West Trenton, Whitewood Estates, Wilburtha and Wynnewood Manor. Some of these existed before suburbanization, while others came into existence with the suburban development of the township in the 20th century.

As of 2010[update], the township had a total of 149.74 miles (240.98 km) of roadways, of which 108.73 miles (174.98 km) were maintained by the municipality, 28.16 miles (45.32 km) by Mercer County, 12.65 miles (20.36 km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and 0.20 miles (0.32 km) by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.[113]
Interstate 95 (the Scudder Falls Freeway and Bridge) crosses the northwestern section of the township. It is a 55 to 65 miles per hour (89 to 105 km/h), 4-6 lane divided freeway facility. It was constructed as a 4-lane facility in the 1960s, and widened to 6 lanes in the 1990s, with the exception of the Scudder Falls Bridge over the Delaware River. It connects south with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and connects north to U.S. 1, where this branch of Interstate 95 ends and becomes Interstate 295. From there, travelers use U.S. 1 or Interstate 195 and the New Jersey Turnpike to reach the next major destination northwards, New York City. The Ewing portion of Interstate 95 will eventually be redesignated as "Interstate 195 Extension" when a direct interchange between Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Turnpike is completed, re-routing Interstate 95 onto the New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 6 (in Mansfield Township).
U.S. Route 206 (Princeton Avenue) skirts the southeastern section of the township. It is a 25 miles per hour (40 km/h), undivided four-lane[114] facility. Although part of US 206, it is actually maintained by the Mercer County Department of Transportation as part of County Route 583, which is co-signed with US 206. US 206 also connects south to Trenton, and connects north to Princeton and Somerville.

The southern section, Daniel Bray Highway, is a 55 mph (90 km/h), divided four-lane facility with at-grade intersections and traffic lights, and was constructed in the 1950s. The northern section, River Road, is a 45 mph (70 km/h), undivided two-lane facility whose construction as a state highway dates from the 1930s. NJ 29 connects southwards to Trenton, and northwards to Lambertville and Frenchtown. The entire section of Route 29 in Ewing is designated the Delaware River Scenic Byway, a National Scenic Byway. Route 175 serves as a frontage road along the divided portion of Route 29.
Route 31 (Pennington Road) extends north-south towards the eastern side of the township. It is a 35-45 mph (60–70 km/h), undivided four-lane facility whose construction as a state highway also dates to the 1930s. It once also carried a trolley line, but it has long since been removed. It was once proposed to be bypassed by a freeway, but this plan has since been cancelled. NJ 31 also connects south to Trenton, and connects north to Pennington, Flemington, and Clinton.
Public transportation[edit]
The West Trenton Station is at the terminus of SEPTA's West Trenton Line. This commuter rail facility mainly serves commuter traffic to and from Philadelphia. New Jersey Transit has proposed a new West Trenton Line of its own, that would stretch for 27 miles (43 km) to from the West Trenton Station to a connection with the Raritan Valley Line at Bridgewater Township, and from there to Newark Penn Station in Newark.[115][116]
Ewing Township is the site of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN), which first opened in 1929 and is one of three commercial airports in the state. The airport has 100,000 takeoffs and landings annually, and is served by Frontier Airlines, which offers nonstop service to and from 10 different points nationwide.[117]
Ewing Township is also traversed by the Delaware and Raritan Canal near the Delaware River. Originally important to commerce and trade, the advent of railroads caused the canal's commercial demise. The strip of land along the canal is currently part of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park.
New Jersey Transit provides service between the township and Trenton on the 601, 602, 607, 608 and 609 routes.[118]

The fine Flemish bond brickwork of this section is similar to that used in the 1719 Trent House in Trenton. Its interior preserves original 18th-century detailing. Circa 1750 to 1790 section: The second oldest section, added as the Green family grew, is located behind the oldest portion. It forms the northeast segment of the house and added four rooms and a stair hall.

In the early years of settlement, Ewing was chiefly a woodland area; however, after the Revolution, Ewing embarked upon a long period of agricultural growth and activity. In 1844, historians Barber and Howe described the Township as having some of the richest soil in New Jersey. Early development was in the form of small hamlets scattered throughout the Township, including Birmingham (now known as West Trenton), Ewing, Ewingville, and Greensburg (now Wilburtha).

I see some familiar names here. Still chasing Raj's dreams after all these years? Smart longs flew the coop some time back. I wonder if the dolt who argued with me over SNTS is still here. Nice ride from $3 to $32 as they were bought out. Raj has brought this baby back down to 2009 levels and some pumpers have held on? Hard to believe.
Since the SPA appeals went down the drain I haven't visited the MB as much. So here's the dumb question, what is the status of the Anchor NDA? There has never been an answer from the FDA has there? I guess we all assume it would be a CRL at this point, but that's not official is it? Is there any type of time frame for an NDA answer from the FDA?
I've seen talk about modifying the current label. Is that just MB hope or it's a real possibility?

(189 quotes found)
"The ball Albert hit would've gone out anywhere. There weren't balls that were hit to the warning track that did not go out that would have gone out in other ballparks. I think it's going to play like the other one."
"Albert is a great teammate and a great person who is one of the best players in baseball. I take advice from him. He wants to know how you're doing and is willing to help make me a better hitter. He always has been that way since I've known him. I'm lucky to be with him right now."
"I think it's unfair, but they have the right as fallible, screwed-up humans to be unfair; that's the human condition."
"Only two things are universal, hair problems and human stupidity, but I have doubt about former, thus spake Einstein of hair science."

"Overall pretty good "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Nokia
Good work and life balance. Excellent paid time off. Good team of coworkers. Opportunities to travel to Europe and Asia.
Very little room for advancement in San Diego. Need to move to Finland to get opportunities for senior job roles.
- Any Location
- Any Job Title
"Layoff central - if you get a job here you may be laid off very soon after "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at NokiaPros
Work-Life Balance is great - almost too great - some people never show up until after 10am and leave promptly at 4pm.
Good Benefits - $ for $ match on 401k up to 8%
Some very smart and very talented people - quite a bit of variability though - check the team before you join.
Good technology stack (Java, JBoss, Hibernate, REST, MySQL etc.) for your resume.Cons
Company does not handle low performers and leaves them around for years.
Nokia is in a massive restructuring effort - firing lots of people and then suddenly changing strategy and hiring them back.
People who last in this company basically jump teams every 2-3 years before Sr. Management realizes (yet again) that they don't know how to build software without MASSIVE cost outlays.
Every major software project has ~ 3 years of life.
Year 1 - hire TONS of people - some mediocre some good
Year 2 - finally ship after Herculean effort (by the good people)
Year 3 - realize (yet again) the results aren't anything like promised and the costs are huge. Lay everyone off. Most of the long-timers jump after Year 2 to the next Project that is in Year 1 :-)
No-one really gets promoted unless their boss gets laid off and no-one from outside wants the role.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop the revolving door of massive hiring waves and massive layoff waves.
CEO needs to replace many of the VP / Middle Managers who clearly have no clue how to build effective software organizations (HINT: hiring 10 great people is better than 60 mediocre ones).
Stop paying a dividend - the company is collapsing - invest in the people and hope / pray the good ones save it!Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEO
