Analog Modular controlled by iPad MIDI Controller
Using Geo Synthesizer iOS app by Wizdom Music though Silent Way Voice Controller Plug-In to control pitch and gate of my eurorack modular analog synth.
Arturia announces KeyLab 88
The KeyLab 88 is a professional-grade 88-note MIDI keyboard controller designed with the working musician in mind. Featuring a new hammer-action keybed from Fatar and deep integration with our award winning Analog Lab software, the KeyLab 88 is unique with its robust, solid metal construction and classic wooden side panels.
More info: http://www.arturia.com/products/hybri…
KeyLab 88, the largest in the KeyLab series, comes with Arturia's Analog Lab, a software synthesizer solution with over 6,000 presets derived from Arturia's range of Analog Classics. These include the TAE (True Analog Emulation) synthesis-powered Mini V (Minimoog monosynth emulation), Wurlitzer V (virtually bringing back to life the well-known 'Wurly' electric piano), among others.
The first 3,000 units shipped come with two virtual instruments: Grand Piano Model D from fellow French developer UVI, and Pianoteq 5 Stage, a physical modelling-based virtual instrument that provides acoustic and electric piano recreations as well as chromatic instruments.
The keyboard also acts as a controller which is compatible with any third-party software or hardware. Customizable MIDI assignments are accessible via the LED screen or the included MIDI Control Center software.
KeyLab 88 also sports a music stand, and a rubberized, attachable shelf extension to create a work surface for holding a laptop, tablet, or another small synth.
BeatStep Pro — new flagship controller from Arturia
Arturia has introduced the BeatStep Pro — a flagship controller and dynamic performance step sequencer that they call 'a sequencing powerhouse'.
BeatStep Pro has been designed from the ground up to provide a hands-on hardware sequencing experience. It offers 16 touch-sensitive knobs, for entering of pitch, gate, velocity amounts, and timing shifts per step.
It includes two independent (colour-coded) monophonic step sequencers, each with dedicated displays to show the current playback position and bank length of the currently selected sequence. SEQUENCER 1 and SEQUENCER 2 have been greatly expanded with up to 64 steps per sequence, 16 sequences per project, and 16 projects, making BeatStep Pro one of the more powerful step sequencers ever made. each sequencer has its own 1V/Oct CV (Control Voltage) and (10V) GATE outputs to connect to suitably-equipped analogue synthesizers, together with a separate VELO (Velocity) output to allow for even more possibilities when working with a modular synth system setup.
An additional DRUM sequencer allows for 16 separate tracks of sequencing. Record in quantised realtime via the 16 pressure sensitive pads or use the 16 step buttons for a classic drum machine workflow. when working in SEQ1 and SEQ2 mode, the pads can control pitch transposition as well as accessing various musical scales — such as Chromatic, Major, Minor, Dorian, Mixolydian, Harm Minor, Blues, and also a User setting — while the DRUM sequencer itself also has eight DRUM GATES at its disposal (to send gate outputs from the corresponding pads for triggering external devices).
BeatStep Pro is also a controller. Switching from PROJECT to CONTROL MODE means users can trigger clips in their favourite DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), play drum sounds from an external module, or adjust parameters in their favourite plug-in. Possibilities are (almost) endless, limited only by (lack of) imagination.
Beatstep Pro also offers performance effects, including a realtime ROLLER/LOOPER touch strip; PROBABILITY, RANDOMNESS, and SWING settings.
- 2 monophonic step sequencers
- Up to 64 steps per sequence
- Note, velocity and gate time settings per step
- Note tie

Adafruit Trellis
This PCB is specially made to match the Adafruit 4×4 elastomer keypad. Each Trellis PCB has 4×4 pads and 4×4 matching spots for 3mm LEDs. The circuitry on-board handles the background key-presses and LED lighting for the 4×4 tile. However, it does not have any microcontroller or other 'brains' – an Arduino (or similar microcontroller) is required to control the Trellis to read the keypress data and let it know when to light up LEDs as desired.

Wimbledon can claim another first in the battle of Grand Slam oneupmanship after appointing an official poet for the Championships.
The club announced that poet Matt Harvey will "create a poem-a-day on all things Wimbledon: from umpires and racket stringers to the ball boys and ball girls; from the grass and its bounce to rain and the roof; strawberries and cream and all the unfolding drama of the matches and players."
In addition, the poet-in-residence (for the fortnight) will also keep a blog and interact with fans online. He will also manage the occasional live reading.
The idea was proposed by an official of the Wimbledon Museum, curator Honor Godfrey, and is being staged in coordination with Britain's Poetry Society.
"The Club agreed that having an official Championships Poet would provide a novel and interesting way of interpreting the Championships. It will be fascinating to see both Matt's take on what we see year-in year-out, and indeed the public's reaction to the poems," she said.
The poet's output will be posted online as well as in audio podcasts.
As for the part-time bard, it will all be part of a new adventure for the admitted tennis neophyte. "I'm acutely conscious it's the only time I'll come first in anything at Wimbledon, unless you count the queue for strawberries," said Harvey.

- DisappointingBy jeffo12 November 2014aged 55 to 64Male
Second time here to use Tesco's voucher before going to a concert. Its a little bit too fast food and not a restaurant. Thats okay if thats what you want. Although staff polite not enough on hand. Food was okay. Although they took the vouchers on the two ocassions they only included the main meals so ended up paing for half the bill anyway -only marginally better off than the offer they had anyway on the night!. Have used vouchers at other restaurant chains and you will get a better deal elsewhere. Probably wont go back in a hurry.Date used : 22/10/2014
- DISAPPOINTINGBy Weggy28 August 2014aged 55 to 64Female
Bellini's near the theatre in Cardiff was lovely so we had high expectations of Bellini's Express in the shopping centre but we were very disappointed. There were only 2 people serving so only a small section of the restaurant was open. The food was OK but we were disappointed because it looked unappetising and lacked flavour compared to what we had at the other Bellini's on a previous occasion. Everything on the menu seemed expensive for what it was and we would not have chosen to eat here except for the Tesco vouchers. The bill took even longer to prepare than our food! Feeling sorry for the waiter - he was doing a good job in difficult circumstances - we left a tip, only to discover that a so-called OPTIONAL tip had already been added to our bill without our knowledge.Date used : 18/08/2014
- Not worth the waitBy Moggie03 August 2014aged 45 to 54Female
Wouldn't take a booking so had to turn up and queue. They didn't have enough staff to cope so service was poor. Food very average, we won't be going back and don't mention the toilets!!!!Location/Branch : cardiff bay
- Long wait ahead!By Longlizzy23 July 2014aged 45 to 54Female
On a very busy Thursday, unfortunately due to under staffing our visit to Bellini's was not up to its usual standard. There were only 2 staff on, and it being a strike day for most schools and graduation day at the local university all customers had a long wait. The staff were under pressure the whole time we were there, to sit people down, clear tables, take orders and serve drinks. One waitress was pregnant, which on a hot busy day, made customers less likely to complain. Many customers left without ordering it took so long to get served. Bellini's Express was an 1 1/2hr experience. Which normally you don't mind but at an express!! Food wise it was good but not great. A lunch time snack for myself and 2 children cost £50!! Might give Bellini's a miss next time we are in Cardiff.Date used : 10/07/2014
- Would not take tokens!!By Harps20 June 2014aged 55 to 64Male
Food was fine . Came very quickly. Unfortunately when we went to pay our tokens were refused as we had ordered off the day time specials and not the A La Carte menu!!. Was told that we must tell staff before ordering that we are paying with Tesco tokens Not very professional way to treat customer although manageress was apologeticDate used : 06/06/2014

The idea mooted by the government to have eight to 10 Tier II and III cities in Seemandhra as "specialised mini capitals" is quite original in thought (Feb.28). If implemented efficiently and honestly, it will definitely help in the balanced growth of the State and open the doors to numerous opportunities and shape dreams.
A. Kishor,
The development and future of the residual Andhra Pradesh depends on a committed leadership with clear vision and a strong sense of responsibility. In the absence of good leadership, all blueprints and fancy plans will sink without a trace. Development in the hands of present-day and conventional political parties is a risk. A new party with a strong and fresh leadership is the need of the hour. The government should also think of a new model for the region with more popular participation outside a political model.

Decent carrots
Very decent, fresh-tasting carrots and very good value. Often there's some broken/chopped bits of carrot in the bag, but if you're cooking them anyway, it doesn't matter. Keep in the fridge and they'll last ages.

Cool personal info blog you have there.
First time I've heard of such a manner as you described in No.8.
You're ModDB rank is also quite unique for your age.
Don't mind this loser here.
Posted by RumasLaut21 on Oct 10th, 2011
A'ight, so this is about me... not about L.
anyway, for some reason, I could not stop thinking about this, so here you go!
1. Strange Silence.
I am usually silent, preferring to think and think (mostly about Tunes, music, drawings, my Fan-Fiction, my MOD, etc...) or draw (ya, ya, ya.). and as such, I would not find it strange that my classmates would find me strange. in addition to that...
2. Strange Communication
When I do actually speak, I speak fast. and not just fast-- i mean REALLY fast! (in addition, i also slur quite a bit) so fast in fact, that I usually have to say the same sentence twice to be understood clearly (in addition, I may occasionally use accents) and fast enough to bug my parents. I also spell Bisaya a bit differently (some cannot understand my method of spelling. tamakara nu?) and prefer using the revived BAYBAYIN script along with Kana and Kanji to write private notes. but that is not all...
3. Strange Topics.
When I speak, not only do I talk strange, I talk about things that may seem strange (maybe they have little or no relation to the current topic or are just plain otherworldly). as such, one more point to the weirdness factor. but then, there is also...
4. Strange Behaviour.
For some reason I am uncomfortable sitting in the normal seating position, and thus, when playing computer, i usually crouch on the same way as L (Not imitating him and am not lying) and, when this is impossible, I sit cross-legged instead, which, in the case of an armchair, lifts the chair a bit. on couches, i prefer to lie down. also, when letting nature relieve, i sit on the toilet in a crouching position (again, look at how L sits for an example... a habit since i was four and around 11 years before i first saw death note). i also hunch over slightly when walking, gazing at the floor (for some reason, my crush [love interest] does the same). maybe it is because we prefer to think instead of look? I dunno. anyway.... i also hum without reason the tunes that were playing in my mind. i may also dance and act without reason. insane? maybe i am a bit insane.
5. Strange Eating Habits.
I prefer spicy and sweet foods (mostly fruits) and cinnamon coffee. I despise FISH and most other seafood. an exception is Hīpon which, while i have an allergy to, if delicious enough, i eat. also, while the rest of the family use spoons and forks, i use chopsticks. considering that my father has more chinese blood than me, quite strange, nu?
6. Strange Emotions
I rarely feel emotions. mostly, I am just nonchalant. call me a proto-nihilist... though i really do not want to be a nihilist as i still want to experience emotions... though less vividly as others. but this feature of me is overshadowed by something greater...
7. Strange Unpredictability.
I am very whimsical, maybe around Yuyuko's level at times. so whimsical in fact, that it has become a subconscious action. this irks my parents greatly due to foodstuff that i may like today, i may depise later. i may also do random activities based no what interests me for the moment. my mod(s) are incarnations of this Unpredictability. however, when i am truly determined, i stop at nothing.
8. Strange manners.
I can also say that i prefer a bow or a hug as opposed to the more traditional phillipine custom of holding the back of your superior's hand to your forehead (called a 'bles' or "bless" here)
9. Strange Inability be with crowds
I also cannot do well in crowds and well... let's just say that i am not so good at socializing.
Cool personal info blog you have there.

MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins called up left-hander Andrew Heaney and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday and have plugged both pitchers into the rotation for this week.
Top Marlins prospect Heaney to join rotation
It was part of a busy day for the Marlins in which they made roster moves regarding a total of eight players, including left fielder Christian Yelich, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Heaney, the team's top prospect, will make his big-league debut on Thursday against the New York Mets. The 23-year-old was the ninth overall pick in the 2012 draft and had a combined record of 7-2 in the minors this season with ERAs of 2.35 in Double A and 2.74 in Triple A.
He will try to shore up a rotation that was rocked last month by the loss of ace right-hander Jose Fernandez to season-ending elbow surgery.
"It's surreal," Heaney said. "You think of how it might happen, and then it does, and it doesn't hit you until now when I'm in the park and looking out."
DeSclafani, 24, who made his big league debut earlier this season and went 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA in two starts, will start again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.
To make roster room for their two new starters, the Marlins designated for assignment left-hander Randy Wolf, 37, and right-hander Kevin Slowey, 30. Wolf, trying to make a comeback from a second Tommy John surgery, went 1-3 with a 5.28 ERA. Slowey, with 17 appearances, including 15 in relief, was 1-1 with a 5.30 ERA.
Right-hander Jacob Turner, who had been set to start on Tuesday, will now pitch out of the bullpen.
Yelich, who had missed the past two games due to a strained lower back, was replaced by outfielder Jake Marisnick, who was also called up from New Orleans. Marisnick will start Monday night in center field for the Marlins, who will move Marcell Ozuna, at least temporarily, to left field.

Microsoft Building an 'Xbox Reading' App For Windows 8 52
from the read-all-about-it dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
No one uses Windows 8 apps anyway.
Even I am surprised as much as I hate Windows 8 I assumed due to it being installed on every computer at least some app writters would target it. Most of the users just click desktop. You can tell as most Windows 8 users have not upgraded to 8.1 according to statistics which means they do not even know it has a Windows Store?!
Hell even Windows Phone has more apps and a reader I may add too.
You know what I did?
I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and clicked "Slashdot Classic Problem solved. I stayed logged in and slashdot has my preference for classic memorized. Did that on my phone.
Now all is good except I get spam on every damn news story going BETA OMG EWWW and I am tired of reading about it or having 1/2 of the comments talking about it. Jeesh
Even I am surprised as much as I hate Windows 8 I assumed due to it being installed on every computer at least some app writters would target it.
Everyone hates Metro. Pushing it onto the desktop only made people hate it more. So the only place you might sell a Metro app is a Windows phone.
And who in their right mind wants Windows on their phone?

The district has created an easy-to-use Assignment Look-Up Tool on the Seattle Public Schools Admissions website allowing families greater ease in identifying their student's assigned school both this year and the next school year. The tool will be available Februrary 23rd. Families will no longer be mailed a next-year assignment letter for each student in mid-February. In the past, SPS took this extra step to help families transition to the New Student Assignment Plan as enrollment growth boundaries changed and while SPS established attendance area schools and choice assignments. Here is the letter that will be sent to families informing them of this change.
Those wishing to change their current or assigned school can do so during Open Enrollment, February 23rd-March 6th. Full instructions on how to participate in Open Enrollment and choose a different school can be found on the Admissions website here or by contacting the Admissions office at 206-252-0760.
If your student has been tested and identified as eligible for Highly Capable Services (formerly APP) or Spectrum, enrollment in Advanced Learning is NOT automatic. Families must enroll separately. Please follow the guidelines here.
ONE DAY ONLY: Thursday, February 19th 4:00 pm-8:00 pm
Our friends at Marination Ma Kai are sharing the Aloha with the Alki Elementary PTA! That's right--for one fun night in February, 20% of Marination's net proceeds from food sales will be donated back to our PTA! Bring your family, invite your friends, and don't miss this tasty way to support our school.

Alki Elementary warmly invites incoming and prospective Kindergarten families to an Open House Monday, February 23rd at 5:45-7:00 pm. This will be a chance to learn about the programs offered at Alki and for incoming Kindergarten families to visit Kindergarten classrooms. Please be advised that this is an adult only event and there will be no childcare available. Please call the Alki office to register at: 206-252-9050. We look forward to meeting you!
Seattle Public Schools will welcome nearly 5,500 new Kindergarten students next September, and we want each one of these children to start school feeling eager and confident. From December 3rd to March 4th, Seattle Public Schools will hold Kindergarten Early Enrollment events at 10 different SPS elementary schools around our community. Families can attend whichever event is most convenient, regardless of where they live.
Please see the attached Enrollment Event flyer, Click here.
At the events, families will be able to ask questions about the registration process and complete required paperwork, with interpreter assistance if needed; meet a Kindergarten teacher, see a K classroom, and get a feel for what one elementary school looks like; and take home hands-on learning activities, including a children book.
Getting enrolled early gives families more time to help their children make a smooth and happy transition to school.
A great teacher? An awesome program? The best principal in the world?
Seattle Public Schools has launched a Facebook campaign inviting families to tell us what they love about their Seatle Public School, and they've already received dozens of comments! So far, Alki is feeling a whole lot of love, with Queen Anne and Fairmount Park not far behind. If you love your school, say it loud at:www.bitly.com/ILoveMySPS.
Seattle Public Schools has made some changes to the progress reports families receive each trimester for elementary students. As you may know, a few years ago, Washington state adopted new College and Career Readiness Standards (known as Common Core). Like all districts in the state, Seattle Public Schools has been training teachers on these standards so that the district would be ready for the new statewide tests that will be given this spring to students in grades 3-8 and 11. Those tests, known as Smarter Balanced, will cover standards in English Language Arts and Math. The state will continue to test students in Science using the MSP, administered in grades 5 and 8.
To reflect these new English Language Arts and Math standards, the district has revised its Elementary Progress Report. Families will see updated standards in the areas of English Language Arts, Math and Learning Behaviors. Because the new College and Career Readiness Standards (Common Core) cover only English Language Arts and Math, standards in other subject areas like Science are not changing.
Please view the following video to learn more about these changes: http://vimeo.com/110191805. Your student's classroom teacher will review the progress report during your child's conference in November.
Seattle Public Schools is pleased to offer parent and student access to online resources such as Math in Focus (which will bring up all of the K-5 math textbooks) and Washington Our Home (our fourth grade adopted Social Studies textbook)!!!
In order to access these great resources (from any computer) follow these directions:

A system is provided for welding a workpiece (10, FIG. 1) along a predetermined weld line (12) that may be of irregular shape, which includes the step of forming a lip (32) on the workpiece to extend parallel to the weld line, and moving the workpiece by engaging the lip between a pair of rotatable members (34, 36). Rotation of one of the members at a constant speed, causes the workpiece to move so that all points on the weld line sequentially pass a fixed point in space (17) at a constant speed, so that a laser welding beam can be directed at that fixed point to form a weld along the weld line. The workpiece can include a reuseable jig (24) forming the lip, and with the jig constructed to detachably hold parts (22, 20) to be welded at a position wherein the weld line of the parts extends parallel to the lip on the jig.
1. Apparatus for use in welding a workpiece having a lip portion extending parallel to a predetermined weld line, by the use of a welding beam, comprising:
first and second rotatable members; and
means for holding peripheral portions of said members together to enable them to grasp a lip portion of the workpiece between them, and for turning at least one of said members, whereby to move the weld line of the workpiece past a location at which a weld beam can be directed.
2. The apparatus described in claim 1 wherein:
said workpiece includes a reuseable jig forming said lip portion, said jig having means for detachably holding at least one nonjig part forming said weld line in a position wherein the weld line extends parallel to the lip portion of the jig.
3. The apparatus described in claim 1 wherein:
said holding and turning means turns said first member at a constant speed, and including means for directing a welding beam of substantially constant intensity at a predetermined location to intercept said weld line.
4. The apparatus described in claim 1 including:
a frame, and a carriage moveably disposed on said frame; and wherein
said first member includes a shaft rotatable on said frame about a first axis, and said second member includes an idler wheel rotatably mounted on said carriage about a second axis spaced from but substantially parallel to said first axis; and
said holding and turning means includes spring means urging said carriage to move in a direction to bring said axes closer together, and motor means coupled to said shaft to turn it.
5. Apparatus for use in welding a workpiece having a surface extending parallel to a predetermined weld line, by the use of a welding beam, comprising:
a frame;
a member mounted at a substantially fixed location on said frame; and
means for holding said workpiece surface against said member while advancing said workpiece surface at a substantially constant speed past said member, whereby to move the weld line of the workpiece past a fixed location at which a weld beam can be directed;
wherein said workpiece has a lip, with one side of said lip forming said surface, and wherein:
said member is rotatably mounted on said frame, and said member has a periphery that engages said workpiece surface;
said holding means includes a second rotatable member biased against a side of said lip opposite said first member, and means for rotating at least one of said members.
6. A welding system for use with a device that applies welding energy over a small spot, comprising:
a shaft having a workpiece-engaging portion;
means for rotating said shaft;
a workpiece having a multiplicity of points to be welded that lie along a predetermined weld line, and having a lip extending parallel to the weld line; and
a backup wheel rotatably mounted to grasp the lip of the workpiece between the backup wheel and said shaft portion, whereby said lip is driven to move the points to be welded past a fixed location where the spot of welding energy can be applied.
7. The system described in claim 6 wherein:
said welded line lies substantially on an imaginary plane; and including
means forming a flat surface for slideably supporting said lip; and wherein
said lip and backup wheel are tapered, so the backup wheel tends to press the lip against said surface.
8. Apparatus for moving a weldable part that has a lip, comprising:
a frame;
a carriage moveable on said frame and having a face;
a shaft rotatably mounted on said frame and projecting through said carriage so an end of the shaft lies beyond a face of the carriage;
an idler wheel rotatably mounted on said carriage at a position opposite said end of said shaft which lies beyond a face of the carriage;
spring means for urging said carriage to move in a direction to bring said idler wheel close to said shaft; and
means for turning said shaft.
9. The apparatus described in claim 8 including:
a weldable part which includes two portions lying adjacent to one another along a predetermined weld line, and having a lip engageable between said shaft and wheel and extending parallel to said weld line.
10. A weldable apparatus comprising:
a pair of weldable parts having adjacent portions extending parallel to one another to form a weld line, and an elongated lip extending parallel to said weld line and coupled to said parts so that movement of the lip along its length can cause movement of said parts along the length of said weld line,
means for moving said parts parallel to said lip comprising a pair of rotatable members with peripheral portions adjacent to each other to grasp the lip between them, and
means for turning one of said members.
11. The apparatus described in claim 10 including:
a jig, said lip being formed on said jig, and said jig being constructed to hold one of said parts at a predetermined orientation with respect to said lip.
12. A method for welding two workpiece portions together along a predetermined weld line, comprising:
coupling a projecting lip to said workpiece portions, so the lip extends parallel to said weld line; and
engaging said lip and moving it and the workpiece portions coupled thereto along the length of the lip, so that the weld line passes a predetermined stationary location, while directing welding energy at said locations,
said step of engaging said lip including locating it between a pair of rotatable members, rotating the members to advance the lip, and directing said welding energy at a location adjacent to the location where said members engage said lip.
13. A method for welding two workpiece portions together along a predetermined weld line, comprising:
coupling a projecting lip to said workpiece portions, so the lip extends parallel to said weld line,
said step of coupling includes mounting a pair of parts forming said workpiece portions, on a jig which forms said lip, at an orientation wherein the lip extends parallel to the weld line;
engaging said lip and moving it and the workpiece portions coupled thereto along the length of the lip, so that the weld line passes a predetermined stationary location, while directing welding energy at said locations; and
removing the parts from the jig after the portions thereof are welded.
14. The method described in claim 12 wherein:
said step of coupling includes forming said lip integral with one of a pair of parts that form said workpiece portion.
15. The method described in claim 14 including:
removing said lip from the part with which it was integral, after the portions are welded.
The Government of the United States of America has rights in this invention pursuant to Department of Energy Contract No. W-7405-ENG-48.
In laser beam welding, it is usually necessary to move the welding spot at a nearly constant speed along the weld line, and to maintain the locations being welded at a constant distance from, and normal to, the laser so as to assure that the welding spot is of constant small diameter. While these relatively simple requirements are easily satisfied when the weld line is straight, they can greatly complicate the welding process when the weld line is intricately curved. A method which has been employed to weld along intricately curved weld lines, is to keep both the laser and the workpiece stationary, and to move the laser beam with mirrors. However, the apparatus required to move the welding beam is very expensive. A system which enabled welding along a weld line of a wide variety of configurations, including those which were intricately curved, using a relatively simple mechanism to achieve relative movement of the welding beam to the weld line at a substantially constant speed while maintaining the weld line at a substantially constant distance from the laser or other welding beam source, could significantly lower the cost of intricately welded parts.
One object of the present invention is to provide a relatively simple and inexpensive welding system for performing welds along even intricately curved weld lines.
Another object is to provide a simple welding system for moving a workpiece so that a weld line on the workpiece is moved at a substantially constant speed, so that the weld line is maintained at a substantially constant distance from a welding beam source, and so that the weld line always extends normal to the welding beam source.
Another object is to provide a workpiece which can be moved so that a curved line on the workpiece passes a substantially fixed point in space at a substantially constant speed, using only relatively simple workpiece moving apparatus.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a welding system is provided which enables the welding of parts along even intricately curved weld lines, utilizing relatively simple apparatus. The system includes an apparatus that can be utilized on a workpiece having a lip portion extending parallel to the weld line, the apparatus including a pair of rotatable members for grasping the lip portion of the workpiece between them, and a means for rotating at least one of the members. As the members rotate, the lip portion of the workpiece, and therefore the parallel weld line, each move past a substantially fixed point in space. A welding beam can be directed at the fixed point past which the weld line moves, to weld the workpiece.
The workpiece can be in the form of a reuseable jig forming the lip portion, and also being formed to detachably hold at least one nonjig part that forms the weld line. The part can be held on the jig, and the lip portion of the jig placed between the rotatable members, to weld the part along its weld line. As an alternative, the lip portion can be formed integrally on a part to be welded, and the lip portion can be left on the part or removed by machining or otherwise after the welding operation has been performed.
The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention will best be understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a welding system of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partially sectional plan view of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 illustrates a welding system that enables a workpiece 10 to be welded along a weld line 12 which is intricately but smoothly curved. The welding is performed by a laser beam welding apparatus 14 that concentrates a laser beam 16 onto a small diameter welding spot 18 lying on the weld line 12. In this particular situation, the workpiece 10 includes two parts 20, 22 that have mating surfaces that are to be welded together and that define the weld line 12. The workpiece 10 also includes a jig 24 that supports the two nonjig parts 20, 22 to move them so that points along the weld line 12 move at a constant speed past a fixed point in space 17 at which the concentrated welding spot 18 is located.
An apparatus 30 moves the workpiece 10 by engaging a lip 32 specially formed on the jig of the workpiece for this purpose. The apparatus 30 includes a pair of rotatable members 34, 36 that grasp the lip 32 between them. One of the members 34 is driven to rotate at a constant peripheral speed, while the other member 36 is a backup idler member. The lip 32 is formed so that it extends parallel to the weld line 12, and the laser 14 is positioned so that the weld spot 18 lies adjacent to the location where the lip is grasped between the rotatable members. As a result, during constant rotation of the member 34, points along the weld line 12 move at a constant speed past a point in space 17 where the concentrated weld spot 18 is located. Furthermore, the weld line 12 is always maintained perpendicular to the laser beam. This enables a small diameter welding spot 18 to advance precisely along the weld line 12, to assure that points on the part to be welded move at a constant speed past the spot 18, and to assure that the locations covered by the welding spot 18 are a constant distance and orientation with respect to the stationary welding apparatus 14.
Where a continuous welding seam is to be formed on the parts 20, 22, movement of the welding spot 18 relative to points along the weld line 12, at constant speed and orientation, assures that the same amount of welding energy is applied to every region along the weld line by a welding beam of constant intensity. It is also possible to weld at numerous spaced locations along the weld line by operating the laser intermittently. In either case, the weld line 12 is the locus of the points to be welded. Where the laser beam 16 is to be focused from a large area onto a small spot at 18, the maintenance of the weld location at a constant distance from the laser apparatus 14, and perpendicular to the weld beam, assures that the welding spot 18 will be of constant size. Of course, the apparatus also assures that the constant size welding spot 18 on the part always lies along the weld line 12.
As also shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the driven rotatable member 34 is a shaft rotatably mounted on a frame 40 about a fixed axis of rotation 42 by bearings 44. The shaft is driven by a gear head motor 46 connected through a belt 48 to a pulley 50 on the shaft. The other rotatable member 36 is a tapered idler wheel rotatably mounted on a carriage 52 that lies over the frame 40. The carriage 52 can slide back and forth in the direction of arrows 54, 55, with respect to the frame 40, to shift the axis 57 of the idler wheels. This enables the idler wheel 36 to press the lip 32 on the workpiece securely against the shaft 34, as well as to accommodate small variations in the thickness of the lip 32.
Sliding of the carriage 52 on the frame 40 is accommodated by four balls 56. The balls lie in a pair of grooves 58 formed in the underside of the carriage 52, and in a corresponding pair of grooves 60 formed in the frame 40, a pair of retainers 62 being utilized to prevent loss of the balls. A pair of springs 64, 66 extend between the carriage 52 and the frame 40 to bias the carriage 62 in the direction 54 to urge the idler wheel 36 against the shaft 34. The springs also urge the carriage 52 to press down against the frame. A pair of posts 68 on the frame hold the lower ends of the springs, while a pair of additional posts 70 on the underside of the carriage hold the upper ends of the springs, the springs extending through slots in the upper portion of the frame.
The idler wheel 36 is tapered so that it engages the lip 32 at a location 74 to press the lip securely against the shaft 34. The wheel 36 has bearings within it that rotatably support it on a shaft 76 fixed to the carriage. The movable carriage 52 enables the apparatus to accommodate lips of different thicknesses, or with irregularities in the thickness of the lip, to assure that the workpiece 10 is always securely driven. The idler wheel 36 should have a radius no longer than the smallest inside radius of the jig surface it engages, and it is possible to substitute a small diameter idler wheel where the part to be welded has a somewhat sharp bend.
As described above, the particular workpiece 10 includes a jig 24 designed to support the nonjig parts 20, 22 that are to be welded together. The jig has a platform 80 that supports one of the parts 22, and has a rim 82 that closely confines the part 22 to a fixed orientation with respect to the jig, and therefore with respect to the lip 32 on the jig. For the particular workpiece 10, the bottom perimeter of the part 22 is parallel to the weld line 12, so that the lip 32 can be formed parallel to the rim 82. Also, the weld line 12 lies on a plane, so that the jig 24 can be utilized by forming the bottom of the lip so it lies on a plane parallel to the weld line 12 and can rest directly on the surface of the carriage 52. The idler wheel 36 and the surface of the lip it engages are tapered, so that the idler wheel presses the jig down against the carriage surface 52s. A dry lubricant is applied to the surface 52s to facilitate sliding on it. If the weld line 12 were to vary in height above the bottom of the part 22, then it would be possible to provide a bottom lip surface or other camming surface on the jig on which the jig were supported.
Instead of utilizing a jig 24, it is possible to form a lip integrally with one of the nonjig parts such as 22. After the welding operation, such an integral lip can be left on the part, or can be machined off. While a lip that can be grasped between a pair of rotating members provides a convenient means for moving the workpiece, any surface on the workpiece that extends parallel to a weld line, and that can be engaged by an apparatus to locate different portions of the weld line at a fixed point in space, can be utilized. In the workpiece as shown in FIG. 2, the narrow location 84 on the inside of the lip, against which the shaft 34 presses, serves to fix the location of points along the weld line 12.
An apparatus 30 and workpiece 10 substantially as illustrated in the drawings has been constructed and tested. The system was utilized to join stainless steel parts of the form shown at 20 and 22, which were each of about one inch length. The parts were moved to advance points along the weld line 12 at a speed of two inches per minute, while a laser weld spot 18 of about five mil (thousandth of an inch) diameter was directed at the weld line. The system was found to operate effectively to produce a good weld.
Thus, the invention provides a system for use in working on a workpiece along a narrow band or line that may be of irregular shape, in a process that applies very little force to the workpiece, as in welding along a weld line that may be intricately curved, utilizing relatively simple apparatus. The system includes the forming of an engageable surface extending parallel to the weld line, such as the surfaces of a projecting lip, and the use of an apparatus for engaging the formed surface such as a pair of rotatable members that grasp the lip between them. The apparatus also includes means for moving one of the members that engages the formed surface, such as a motor that turns a rotatable member which is grasping the lip to move the workpiece so that points along the weld line pass a fixed point in space. A welding device is directed at a location on the weld line that lies adjacent to the grasped workpiece location, while a motor can turn one of the rotatable members at a constant speed. As a result, points along the weld line move at a constant speed past a location which is at a constant distance in front of the welding device, to thereby produce a uniform weld along the irregularly-shaped weld line. A welding device that produces a narrow beam, such as an arc or a laser beam, can be applied to the region of the weld line.
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated herein, it is recognized that modifications and variations may readily occur to those skilled in the art and consequently, it is intended that the claims be interpreted to cover such modifications and equivalents.

My program asks a user to create a 4-digit passcode (much like the unlock screen built into the iPhone). The program will store the passcode and test it against a passcode entered at a later date and will deny or give access to a tableview of documents. I also need to store the passcode in iCloud incase another device wants to use the same database of documents. I do not need to store username information.
I've been reading about using keychain but this seems like a bit of overkill for my purpose. I'm a beginner to security and have no clue on what to do and what NOT to do. Can anyone point me in the right direction for what documents or tutorials I could read that would be appropriate for my application? Thanks for the help.
note about using keychain in reply to the answers below:
If I was to use keychain I'm under the impression from the apple docs that I would not be able to nor should I store the passcode on iCloud. This presents an interesting problem because storing documents on iCloud is an essential behavior of my application as users need to access the same set of documents which are protected by a passcode across multiple devices. How do I approach this problem? Is there a known secure way to work around this or would I have to totally abandon the use of keychain all-together?

Moving laundry to basement??
After nearly five years of dealing with a loud and possibly damaging laundry area on the second story (no floor drain, unstable flooring), I'm considering moving the laundry to the basement until we can afford a proper remodel where I'd have an actual laundry room.
Right now, the washer and dryer are stuck in two holes in the wall up on rickety platforms right at the top of the stairs where I think the master bath tub used to be. It was done this way sometime in the 70s based on the yellow vinyl on the platform floors.
With four young kids, the hallway is just a jumble of dirty and clean laundry at all times because there is zero storage beyond having laundry baskets on top of the washer and dryer.
What are the things I need to consider when putting a laundry in the basement, besides the obvious of hauling laundry up and down stairs?
Half of the basement is unfinished so I have access to pipes and floor drain. Can the washer simply discharge into the floor drain? The laundry can go right next to the drain in the unfinished area.
Or, I can extend the basement bathroom and have the laundry off the bath (right under the kitchen). I presume since it's under the kitchen in a currently unfinished area I'd have access to water coming in, but I'm not sure where it would drain. Obviously, there's a stack in the bath, and the toilet would be closest to the laundry.
Any and all thought are appreciated.
The washer discharge hose has to be a certain height above the floor, so you would need a raised pipe feeding into the drain. Other than the obvious hot and cold feeds and proper wiring, that's the only thing I can think of that might be overlooked. A running washing machine on a cement floor is a nice sight to behold if you have had to put up with bouncing floors upstairs. Hauling clothes is no fun, however; my wife makes me do it.
I just moved my laundry to the basement from the kitchen and am so, so happy. My basement is also partially finished and the plumber just tapped into the existing pipework to get H and C and then drained right out the sewer line. I also put in a laundry sink, which he connected in the same way. I suggest contacting your trusted plumber or two and having them give you their ideas. They will easily be able to see where the pipes and drain will go.
