EBay Buyers Want Whats In Your Hard Drive
Maybe you should clean out your hard drive before you put it up for sale on eBay. People may want to see what's in it. A researcher suggested on Monday that people search for hard drives with lots of interesting information on hard drives for sale at the online auction house. This includes personal information like credit card numbers, let alone what you download.
Harvard professor Simson Garfinkel works on the project for Harvard's Center for Research on Computation and Society. He said he's been buying hard drives on eBay for about five years no and then looks over what's on the hard drives. He reported buy 236 drives and seven of them contained well over 300 recoverable credit card numbers.

Texas authorities arrested Dominique Green, an 18-year-old African-American youth, and tried him for armed robbery and murder. While Green sincerely and repeatedly claimed his innocence, an all-Caucasian jury found him guilty and sentenced him to death by lethal injection. Thomas Cahill visited Green before his execution in 2004 and was astounded by his profound grace and inner peace. Continuing his fight for Green's innocence, Cahill chronicles Green's unjust and racist experience.

CRM for Financial and Insurance Markets
Customer relationship management (CRM) focuses on the retention of customers by collecting data from all customer interactions with a company from all access points (by phone, mail, or Web, or in the field). The company can then use this data for specific business purposes by taking a customer-centric rather than a product-centric approach. CRM applications are front-end tools designed to facilitate the capture, consolidation, analysis, and enterprise-wide dissemination of data from existing and potential customers. This process occurs throughout the marketing, sales, and service stages, with the objective of better understanding one's customers and anticipating their interest in an enterprise's products or services.

Manchester United legend Paul Ince says Brian Kidd is a big bonus for Manchester City.
Kidd worked with the Notts County boss Ince when he was a star at Old Trafford.
Ince said: "Kiddo was and still is a fantastic coach. His knowledge of football is second to none and, above all, he is a top, top person.
"At United, he was always the person you would turn to when you had just been slaughtered by the gaffer.
"Kiddo would be there to put an arm around your shoulder and he would make it feel not quite as bad as it was. That's a great trait to have.
"I can see signs of the same chemistry now. People are right when they think that Roberto Mancini is probably more methodical, straight down the line and knows what he wants as a boss.
"So, Kiddo probably gives City that balance in much the same as he did at United alongside Fergie. When you look and hear what is happening at City you sense that Mancini is one of those managers who knows what he wants, doesn't take no for an answer and knows how to get it.
"That's a sign of a top boss – just like Fergie. He took over at United in 1986 and didn't win the title until 1993, but he always knew what he wanted and it's the same with Mancini.
"I don't know how long it will take Mancini to win a title – they could do it this year.
"You'd think that, with the players they have, they will definitely win something in the next season or two – just not the FA Cup this time round!"

So, Now the time has come to go back over an old iPhone project to localise it and I am confronted by ploughing through an entire project looking for user facing strings. Is there any crafty way of doing this short of searching for @" and checking every instance?
Looking at the Apple localization documentation there does seem to be mention of running a cocoa application from the command line with NSShowNonLocalizedStrings set but I'm not sure if that is applicable to the iPhone. Also it would seem that all this option actually does is print the strings to the console as you come across them in the app, so that means exercising every scenario the app could encounter including error conditions etc. Not ideal.

Married, no kids (yet), 2 cats. Currently working as a full-time employee of Reality Based Group. My husband and I love Austin. We have the cheapest apartment we can get, a one-bedroom for $620/mo after pet rent. We only have $5500 in debt, combining both credit card and car payments. After our lease is up in 04/14, we plan to upgrade to an apartment with a w/d in unit, possibly in a better neighborhood, and preferably one somewhere close to 183 since that's where we both work. Our budget will likely be around $800 for a one-bedroom. I'm still not quite familiar with the Austin neighborhoods. Cedar Park is lovely but would be a bit of a commute. We're probably going to try and shoot for North or Northwest Austin. We both work in North Central Austin. Right now I think we're in what's considered the Heritage Hills neighborhood.

Hi, I'm Daniel, an American ex-pat from the San Francisco/Bay Area who has been living here in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil for over 15 years. I came down here on vacation, fell in love with the place, and ended up moving down here (watch out, it can happen to you too!). To pay the bills, I own, manage, and book vacation rental properties apartments. I'm also licensed to practice real estate agent in Brazil (Cresci #08864) in case you are also looking to buy.
Hope to see you here soon : )
Daniel has completed online and offline ID verification.
Staying at Daniel's rental was great. He organized a car from the airport and met me upon my arrival to get me settled. He walked me around the neighborhood, showing points of interest as well as good places to eat. He also pointed out where not to go after dark, which is important in Salvador. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Every worked well (Wifi, TV, A/C, washing machine). Great view into the harbor and the flat is located just off the he main square in the historic center. Very convenient for walking around the old cobble stone streets and colonial buildings. It's definitely the area to stay if your not going for the beach. One thing to note is that nothing opens before 10am so if your an early rise you'll want to get provisions to keep you held over. for the location and price I don't think you can beat it!
Really good time in an amazing city as Salvador de Bahia. Location is the best and description is really accurate. clean sheets and towels at arrival. If you really want to enjoy the real salvador experience, stay here.
Fantastic staying in Daniel's place. He was a star and showed us around the Pelhourino town and gave us lots of tips regarding restaurants, bars and nightlife. The flat has an amazing view on the harbour and the church. Close to all amenities, shops and the Lacerda elevator... Thank you again Daniel.
El apartamento es exactamente como se muestra en las fotos. Daniel se tomó su tiempo en darnos la bienvenida y explicarnos todo sobre el Carnaval (fuimos en esas fechas) la seguridad, consejos, nos dio un mapita muy útil, etc. Siempre contestó nuestros mensajes rápidamente. Se nota su interés porque tengamos una muy buena experiencia. El apto tiene muy buen Wifi, TV por cable y aire acondicionado. LO ÚNICO que nos faltó al llegar, a causa de que llegamos muy tarde en la madrugada, fue una botella de agua mineral. Pasamos sed la primera noche y por la hora no era posible salir a comprar. Tal vez una botella de agua como bienvenida haría a este lugar el apto perfecto. Pero eso fue nuestra experiencia particular y nada más :) Es muy bueno que el apto dispone de suficientes toallas y sábanas. Todo funciona muy bien.
To be clear, Daniel is the perfect host. My friends and I rented his own apartment (not this one: New York 6) for the Salvador Carnival, and it was an amazing experience. He spent more than an hour explaining us everything about the Carnival, took care of having a taxi waiting for us at the airport, and his associate Michele managed our "Abadas" for the Carnival. It's a very reliable person. Only one regret: we didn't share a beer with him when we saw him during the parade ;)
Daniel was warm and welcoming from the first contact I had with him. He showed me everything that was needed for the apartment and neighborhood. He always responded to my messages quickly as well.
With three bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, this was a great choice for our family of five adults. Daniel arranged for us to be picked up at the airport when we arrived and met us at the apartment when we arrived, to explain the household features and answer questions about the apartment, the neighborhood, restaurants and activities. The apartment is in a great location on a quiet residential street off a busy commercial corridor in the Barra District of Salvador, so it is close to restaurants, banks and stores. It was also an easy walk to the beach and Christmas Eve festivities. We loved the apartment's style and furnishings and would stay there again with a group our size. However, there were problems with the Internet access. When the Internet went out for good, Daniel tried very hard to get it fixed while we were there, but it wasn't possible to get the needed repairs done during the holiday weekend. He kindly offered us a partial refund in compensation.
The appartement is great, there is everything you need. The wifi worked very well and the kitchen was fully equiped. Daniel is very nice, he picked as up near the appartement, showed us everything. Because we had a late flight he also organized a place for our luggage. Thanks again! The appartement is in the touristic city center, so its safe. The elevator and the busstation is right around the corner. feliz natale e boas entradas!
Our stay in Daniel's appartment has been really great, it is perfectly located, very close to anything you might need. You can live your life in the historic center of Salvador de Bahia by walking, which is really enjoyable. The appartment was very clean and new, with perfect equipments, and we even liked the decorations! Daniel himself has been very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed at anytime. He also contacted a taxista for us, so don't hesitate to ask him if you need any kind of services during your stay in Salvador. A huge thank you Daniel!
We had wonderful days at Salvador the apartment has the best location to discover the city. The flat is really big with a great view of the haven and the sea. Highly recommend this place.

DEFINITION of 'Prepaid Credit Card'
A card issued by a financial institution that is preloaded with funds and is used like a normal credit card. A prepaid credit card works in the opposite way of a normal credit card, because instead of buying something with borrowed funds (through credit), you buy things with funds that have already been paid. This card functions like a gift card.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Prepaid Credit Card'
A prepaid credit card allows a person the convenience of a credit card without going into debt. You can use them to purchase items online or in person, but since you must load them with funds before using them, you never spend more money than you have. These can be effective tools to teach kids about credit cards without allowing them to irresponsibly rack up charges that they can't afford, or for those that have a hard time managing their finances and end up with tremendous amounts of credit card debt.

With the five-year anniversary of Katrina behind us, and the BP oil spill having been declared resolved, the national spotlight once again turns away from the Gulf. But the two manmade disasters have left the region gutted of tens of thousands of jobs. Politicians and large, white-owned businesses have urged struggling workers to point their fingers at one another, rather than the system that leaves them out of work. Through it all, the decades-old community of African American fishers in Point a la Hache, Louisiana, continue trying to make a day's work add up to a living wage.
Read Brentin Mock's investigation into race-baiting in the Gulf recovery labor market.

Pennant-Rea steps down from Henderson chair
Rupert Pennant-Rea is stepping down as chairman of the fund manager Henderson, which is shifting its tax base back to the UK.
The City grandee, who will become chairman of the mutual insurer Royal London, holds an array of directorships with listed companies including the transport group Go-Ahead. He is a former editor of The Economist and, as an independent director of Times Newspapers, will have a say in picking the paper's new editor.
Since Mr Pennant-Rea became chairman of Henderson in 2005, he has steered through the rescues of two rivals – New Star Asset Management in 2009 and Gartmore in 2011. The deals have helped Henderson boost assets under management to £64.8bn.
Mr Pennant-Rea will succeed Royal London chairman Tim Melville-Ross, a former Nationwide chief executive, in May.
Henderson, which moved its tax base to Ireland four years ago, is moving back to the UK in response to the Chancellor's relaxation of tax rules.

Not here to compare MAG to Dust, but from what I've seen so far (even for a beta) Dust is rather poor. They have a great idea but the game itself reminds me of the hundreds of generic space marine fps out there already.
It's like no effort at all was put into designing the maps, armors, or weapons.
Gameplay is buggy but that's expected, hopefully they are planning to be in beta for a long time cause' they have a long, long way to go.

Lahij - mountainous cradle of brilliant craftsmanship
23 May 2014 [14:45] -
Being under the influence of the ancient Khinalig, which I wrote about last time, it is high time to visit another ancient town - the neighboring Lahij.
A day spent in this town, which is far away from civilization, will immerse you in good old days when everything was more hearty and soulful.
Lahij is a small town in the Ismayilli region, situated about 220 km northwest of Baku in the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
Removed and isolated, this town has its unique atypical style of life. But before reaching the village, you will be already excited by the road itself, with its picturesque nature, animals, and flowering fields.
Lahij's population speaks Tati, an Indo-European dialect of an old Persian tongue. Populated by about 1,000 people, the settlement is a craft center.
Due to its unique and original features, the town has attracted writers, scholars, artists, and filmmakers throughout its history, and is a pleasant place for curious tourists.
Carpet weaving, coppery, brass work, woodcarving, and handcrafting are the main occupation of the villagers.
Lahij's master craftsmen can create forty types of items related to folk art. These skilled craftsmen consist of jewelers, blacksmiths, carpenters, carpet makers, engravers, painters, tanners, shoemakers and bast shoe makers, and sock weavers. The town is also well-known for its copper works and ornaments.
The village's carpets and rugs are also well known in Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus. So you can definitely find unusual presents for yourself and your friends.
You will also be impressed by the town's architecture. Due to frequent earthquakes, the village has developed its own building techniques. A traditional stone-and-wood cross-tie technique has born results, and the damage caused by quakes in places like Shamakha remains unseen in Lahij.
The ancient houses in Lahij have remained unchanged to the present days. The houses' ground floors, built on the main trading street, are used as workshops and trade rooms.
The traditional interiors of these houses include decorative tableware and other items, placed in different-sized holes in the walls and on shelves.
Here, on the ancient cobblestoned streets, you can spend a few interesting hours walking along the town or visiting the History Museum and the Mosque, visit the shops, have a look at the copper workshops, or try to visit the carpets shop.
The town is a nice place to visit mostly during the warm months of the year, so now is quiet the right time to try and enjoy a trip to this remote and captivating place.

So when the client crashes, how long does it take for your character to time out? The reason i ask, is i've died twice now, level 48 and 60. Both times my pc blue screened. After the first one, i re-formatted computer with new OS and everything ran great. I was able to play without any crashes. Just now, i crashed with 1 mob infront of me. I am fairly certain that the one monster would take at least a minute of constantly bashing on my poor barb to kill kill me.
This also brings me to the 2nd question. Does my char still block, dodge, life regen. while it is timing out? Does my merc heal me? At this point, i will have to just buy a new pc just so i can play hardcore. Pretty annoying. |
10 second countdown timer. Your char stills blocks, dodges, gains HP, etc. You just cannot move.
I do think too that the time is higher than 10 seconds when you get disconnected too. I´ve already lost 2 HC characters the same way u did...
Unfortunately, I couldnt find any thread explaining this time... |
If the client doesn't cleanly notify the server that it's disconnecting then there may be some time before the server figures it out, after which there's probably still the normal 10 seconds.
Edited by childsish#6632 on 6/20/2012 2:17 AM PDT
its more like 50 seconds, i tested with a friend. 10s would be way too short, everyone would live.
normal difficulty 10 sec
NM difficulty 30 sec Hell diff 60 sec Inferno diff wherever you are they ll send you a pack of mobs and kill you :-) /joke |

Higher VAT In West India Is A Roadblock: iVK Mobile
Higher VAT In West India Is A Roadblock: iVK Mobile
Anil Kaushik, CEO, iVK Mobile says, "VAT is very high in that region and the sales tax is around 15 per cent, which impacts the dealer-pricing and the MRP. But all states where we have a common sales tax, we are focusing and moving ahead."

iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd set up shop in India in July last year and launched its first mobile phone in the market in September. Since then, the company is strategically capturing the market share with its low-end mobile phones and feature phones. So far, the company has feature phones in the price range of Rs 1,000 and Rs 3,600. Focusing on customer needs, the company was the first to launch a 3,000 mAh and 4,000 mAh mobile phone in India. The company also plans to launch an Android 4.0 tablet and Android 2.3 smartphone this month itself and get into the high-end product segment too. We speak to Anil Kaushik, CEO, iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd to know more about the firm and its expansion plans in India.
Tell us about iVK Mobile's journey so far.
iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd is the name of the organisation, which is a joint venture between iVK and one of the Chinese partners. This Chinese partner actually represents a company called Guo Xin Tong, which is the world's biggest mobile manufacturing company. It manufactures around 1,20,000 phones per day and 3.6 million phones per month. It not only manufactures phones, but whatever goes into a phone like the battery, the charger, the earphones, keypad and even the labels, everything is manufactured in-house. There are about 20,000 people working in the mobile manufacturing focused factory in China.
When did you start the joint venture?
The organisation was registered way back in the month of July, 2011. The first product was launched sometime in mid-September.
What is the SICT connection?
SICT is the brand name of the China-based organisation. We have launched the brand SICT as a joint venture in India so that we can actually mark our space in the mobile market of India. We sell about 5,00,000 mobile phones per month in India indirectly.
Can you elaborate more on the indirect sales?
We supply our products to most of the mobile brands in India, directly or indirectly. There are so many brands in India. These brands buy goods from various manufacturers of China or the so-called integrators from China. Those integrators either buy the product or the components to manufacture their products in China and then ship them in India. So, most of the local brands, directly or indirectly, are involved with us. Though SICT as a brand, is being sold only by iVK.
After having launched in the month of September, our journey has been very good but we are still striving for better. Even in the last six months, when the mobile industry was going down in the market, fortunately we were able to establish SICT as a brand in the areas wherever we started the business. We have really made an impact in the market in terms of competition, market awareness and even in terms of customer satisfaction.
Besides India, what other countries do you have a presence in?
SICT, as a brand, is available in Africa and Arabian countries. It is also available in Europe and many other Asian countries.
There are so many players in the handset market, so how do you plan to survive the competition?
I dont feel there is competition because the market is so big that each player has a role to play himself. The market continues to grow, so if I have entered the market, probably I have taken some part of the growth, which has not affected the other brands in the country. So, actually there is not really much competition that we talk about. But from the customers point of view, when a customer sees a product which is new in the market, he does get attracted to it. For instance, iVK was the first in the country to launch a 3,000 mAh battery phone. We were also the first to launch a 4,000 mAh battery phone, which is a very specific focus on the market needs. It is just trying to bring a product to the customer, which meets his demands and needs.
Where all have you been able to create a market for yourself in the past six months?
We have been doing good in Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar and in West Bengal. We are doing reasonably fine in Uttar Pradesh (UP). We had to do some realignment in UP and reduce the sales but now the sales have started growing there too.
What kind of re-alignment?
It is a very tough market in UP and the strategy that we had taken up for UP was the same that we had taken up for other places. But, at the same time, it was also in-line with anyone else who was working in UP. That is when we realised that we had to do something different in UP and that is how the process started. Now, we have a re-aligned business model in UP and things have started moving. Earlier, we were doing only two zones East zone and the West zone of UP. Now, we have bifurcated further into smaller segments for a better focus and a bigger market share.
How about presence in South India?
We have just started in Karnataka. This month, we are also starting in Andhra Pradesh. So, step by step and month wise, we are starting in the South region as well. Post that, we will be moving to the Manipur and the Assam belt.
What is the kind of market share you are looking for?
Our strategy has been that we must capture the first one per cent of the market share and then move to 10 per cent. We have already captured more than 1 per cent in a few states. In Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan we have more than 10 per cent market share. In other states like UP, it is not 10 per cent yet but it should be better now that we have re-aligned. In West Bengal, we started in the last week of March, so we have not reached that one per cent per say, but by next month we will achieve this kind of percentage of the market share. Regarding the PAN-India target, eight to 10 per cent is the bare minimum that I am looking forward to in the states where we are present. It is a per state target right now and cannot be PAN- India because we are not present in many states yet.
We are not doing any business in West India as of now, primarily because VAT is very high in that region and the sales tax is around 15 per cent, which impacts the dealer-pricing and the MRP. But all states where we have a common sales tax, we are focusing and moving ahead.
What are your expansion plans for the next three years?
My target is that by the end of the year, we should be touching more than 1,00,000 units per month. I have defined my target with reference to each state. In the month of March, we have already touched 60,000 units in a month in India and our average sales are 45,000 units per month, as of now.
What is your retail strategy?
We are going into pure distribution channel. There are three kinds of strategies in distribution. One is the normal distribution channel, second is modern trade, which includes mobile stores and third is the enterprise or a corporate channel. Right now, we are focused only on the distribution channel and have not focused on the modern trade.

Description 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to electrophotographic copiers, and more particularly to an electrophotographic copier capable of automatically making two-sided copies. 2. Description of the Prior Art It is well known that the almost universal acceptance of electrophotographic copiers has served to greatly facilitate general access to information. At the same time, however, copier usage has not gone totally without creating some ancillary problems such as the burden both on the amount of paper consumed and the space required to store the resultant copies. The paper problem stems in part from the fact that while many documents have printing on both sides of a sheet, many prior art electrophotographic copiers were designed for making copies on only one side of a receiver sheet (hereinafter referred to as one-sided copying). As is readily apparent, the formation of a copy on both sides of receiver sheets would save both on the amount of paper used as well as the space required for storage. Therefore, several recently introduced plain-paper electrophotographic copiers have provided for simple manual two-sided copying (copying on both sides of a receiver sheet). In order to accomplish this end, receiver sheets on which a copy has been made of the first side of a document (first-side copy) are manually transferred from the exit hopper back to the sheet supply. The side of each sheet on which the copy was made is oriented oppositely to its orientation during initial (first-side copy) feeding. The sheets may then be fed to have the copy of the second side of the document (second-side copy) made thereon. While this method of two-sided copying does not require additional machine structure, it does require an additional manual operational step with some coincident sophistication in operation training to insure proper image registration for copying in the two-sided mode of operation. An attempt to provide automatic two-sided copying in an electrophotographic copier is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,645,615 in the name of Spear, issued Feb. 29, 1972. The first-side copy is made on sheets fed from a main paper supply, the sheets being delivered (after the first-side copy image is fused thereto) to a second paper supply. The second-side copy is then made by feeding the first-side copy sheets from the second paper supply, the sheets being subsequently delivered to the exit hopper after the second-side copy is made. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 of this patent, two paper feeders, two "entrance" paths and two "exit" paths are required. It is the purpose of this invention to provide an electrophotographic copier of simple construction capable of automatically making copies on both sides of a receiver sheet. Accordingly, the copier has a given paper travel path from paper supply to exit, with an auxiliary tray positioned to receive copy sheets from the exit hopper during the two-sided copying mode of operation. The tray is pivotable about an axis located just above the primary sheet supply. When it is desired to accomplish two-sided copying, sheets upon which first-side copy have been made are directed into the auxiliary tray with the first-side copy face of the sheets oriented opposite to the original orientation in the primary supply. The tray is then pivoted so that it overlies the primary sheet supply. The sheets in the tray may then be fed by the primary feed mechanism to have the second-side copy made thereon in proper registration. In the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention presented below, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a generally schematic side elevational view of an electrophotographic copier incorporating a pivotable auxiliary tray for automatic two-sided copying according to this invention, the copier being shown in its one-sided copying mode of operation; FIG. 2 is a side elevational view similar to FIG. 1, but with the copier in its automatic two-sided copying mode of operation, first-side copy step; FIG. 3 is a side elevational view similar to FIG. 1, but with the structure in its second-side copy step of the automatic two-sided copying mode of operation; and FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the logic for the electrophotographic copier of FIG. 1 providing for automatic two-sided copying according to this invention. An electrophotographic copier, designated generally as numeral 10, includes a drum 12 having a photoconductive surface, the drum being rotated in the indicated direction to pass sequentially through a series of electrophotographic processing stations. A paper path arrangement, designated generally as numeral 14, feeds sheets to the drum 12 to receive toned images of an original to be copied. It should, of course, be noted that while a particular copier structure is shown and described, other known arrangements for electrophotographic copiers could be utilized (e.g., flash exposure to photoconductive belt), provided only that the copier includes a receiver sheet path arrangement having a general alignment of the supply and exit hoppers. The electrophotographic cycle shown involves producing an image of a document placed on a platen 16 by exposing the document to a light source 18 and projecting the reflected document image through a lens 20 via a series of mirrors 22, 24 to the drum 12. The photoconductive surface of the drum 12 receives an electrostatic charge from a corona charger 26 before entering the image exposure area. In the exposure area, the generally uniform charge on the photoconductive surface will be dissipated by exposure to the projected document image to form an electrostatic charge pattern corresponding to the document image. As the drum continues to rotate, the charge pattern which is a latent image of the document is developed in a developing section 28 by contacting that area of the drum containing the charge pattern with oppositely charged toner particles, the toner particles being attracted to the latent image to develop the latent image. The developed image is then transferred to receiver sheets in a transfer section 30 by attracting the developed image to the receiver sheet which has been moved into contact with the image. Any residual toner (from the developed image or background) remaining on the drum is cleaned in a cleaning section 32 before the copy cycle is repeated. The given paper path 14, which is the same for both one-sided and two-sided copy modes, includes a supply hopper such as primary supply tray 34 in which a stack of receiver sheets is stored. A primary feeder 36 which is shown as being of the scuff type, having a pivotable support arm 37, feeds sheets seriatim from the top of the stack to a guide plate 38 which directs the sheets into intimate contact with drum in proper registration in the transfer section 30 to receive the toned (developed) document image. After transfer of the toned image to the receiver sheets, a sheet stripping roller 40 will detack the image bearing receiver sheets from the drum 12 and direct the sheets to a fusing apparatus 42 where the toned image will be permanently fixed to the sheets. After fusing, the sheets are fed to a receiver hopper, such as exit hopper 44 which has an external opening 46 to permit ready access by the operator to the stacked sheets. The exit hopper 44 is in general vertical alignment with the supply tray 34. In order for the copier 10 to be able to perform in a two-sided copying mode of operation, an opening 48 is provided in the base 50 of the hopper 44. A deflector 56 is mounted for selective movement about a pivot 58 to a first position (FIGS. 1 and 3) out of the path of receiver sheets entering the hopper 44 and to a second position (FIG. 2) in the path of receiver sheets entering the hopper 44 to deflect the sheets through the opening 48. An auxiliary tray 52 is mounted for selective movement about a pivot 54 to a first position (FIGS. 1 and 2) to receive sheets deflected through the opening 48 and to a second position (FIG. 3) where it overlies the primary supply tray 34. The movement of the deflector 56, the auxiliary tray 52 and the feeder 36 are controlled by the logic diagram shown in FIG. 4 and described hereinbelow. With the structure described, the copier 10 is capable of operation in both a one-sided copy mode and an automatic twosided copy mode. A control panel 59 on the copier 10 has a series of program switches including a mode selection switch 60, a copy number input selector 64, and a start copy switch 68. When the copier 10 is selected to be in its 37 one-sided copy" mode of operation, the paper path configuration 14 is as shown in FIG. 1 with the deflector 56 in its first position out of the exit path. As seen in the logic diagram of FIG. 4, the switch 60 may be positioned to engage contact 62 to indicate selection of the "one-sided copy" mode, and the number of desired copies will be indicated by positioning the input count selector 64 to program the copy count into copy logic 66. The logic 66 may be a mini-computer such as that described for controlling the entire copier cycle in U.S. Pat. No. 3,914,047 in the name of Hunt, et al. issued Oct. 21, 1975. When the start copy switch 68 is momentarily actuated, a signal is sent to OR gate 98 enabling the gate to activate the start copy input of copy logic 66, causing the logic to start, control and stop the operation of the various processing steps of the copier 10 as the required number of copies indicated by the counter 64 are produced. The contact 62 is connected to the reset input of flip-flops 70, 72 and 74 through OR gates 100, 102 and 104 respectively. The flip-flops are connected through drive amplifiers 82, 84 and 86 to the deflector pivot solenoid 76, tray pivot solenoid 78 and feeder lift solenoid 80 respectively. Resetting of the flip-flops by positioning switch 60 on contact 62 (or by a separate initializing signal from copy logic 66 at time of power on to OR gates 100, 102 and 104) will insure that the solenoids are in a deactivated state. With the paper path 14 configured and the overall logic set as described, receiver sheets will be fed from the primary supply; one-sided copies will be made thereon, and the sheets will be stacked in the exit hopper 44 for easy removal by the operator through the access opening 46. When automatic two-sided copying is to be accomplished, the switch 60 is moved to the position to engage contact 88 to indicate selection of the "two-side copy" mode of operation. Again the input counter 64 will be set to program the copy logic 66 for the desired number of copies to be made. Momentary actuation of the switch 68 will then begin the copy cycle for the "two-sided copy" mode of operation. The contact 88 is connected to one input of each AND gate 90, 92 and 94, the AND gates being in turn connected to the set inputs of the flip-flops 70, 72 and 74 respectively. While the switch 60 is in engagement with the contact 88, a steady signal will be sent to each of these AND gates. As the copy logic 66 starts the copy cycle for the first side of the document to be copied, a start signal will be sent to one input of AND gate 106. Since the other AND gate 106 input is connected to the Q (reset) output of flip-flop 72, and flip-flop 72 is at this time in its reset state, AND gate 106 is enabled and transmits the signal to the second input of AND gate 90, thus placing this gate in an operative condition, causing it to place flip-flop 70 in its set state. This is turn will provide a signal through the drive amplifier 82 to activate the deflector solenoid 76. The deflector 56 will be moved by the solenoid to its second position to intercept the exit path so that the paper path configuration 14 shown in FIG. 2 will be assumed. As the first side copies are made, the receiver sheets fed into the exit hopper 44 will be directed by the deflector 56 through the opening 48 into the auxiliary tray 52. when the end of the first side copy run is reached (requisite number of copies are made), an end of copy run signal will be sent from the copy logic 66 to one input of each of the AND gates 108 and 110. The second inputs of AND gates 108 and 110 are connected to the Q (set) and Q (reset) output of flip-flop 72 respectively. Since flip-flop 72 is in its reset state, its Q (set) output is inactive, blocking AND gate 108, and its Q (reset) output is active, enabling AND gate 110. The enabling of AND gate 110 transmits the end of copy run signal to OR gates 100 and 112 (enabling these gates) and to the input of delay circuit 96. OR gate 100 now resets flip-flop 70, removing the signal at the input of amplifier 82, causing deactivation of the deflector solenoid 76, thereby returning the deflector 56 to its first position out of the exit path (FIG. 1). OR gate 112 output provides the necessary second input activation of AND gate 94, causing the output of AND gate 94 to transmit a signal to the set input of flip-flop 74, which then assumes its set state, and through drive amplifier 86 in turn activates the feeder lift solenoid 80. The feeder is thus raised to the position shown in FIG. 3. The signal to delay circuit 96 is delayed sufficiently to allow the feeder to assume its raised position and thereafter provides the necessary second input activation of AND gate 92. Upon activation, AND gate 92 transmits the signal to the set input of flip-flop 72, placing the flip-flop in its set state, and to the input of delay circuit 114. Flip-flop 72 now sets and activates the tray solenoid 78 through the drive amplifier 84 to move the tray 52 from its upper position to its lower position, also as shown in FIG. 3. At the same time, the input of AND gate 108 connected to flip-flop 72 Q (set) output will now be activated, and the inputs of AND gate 106 and AND gate 110, connected to flip-flop 72 Q (reset) output, will be deactivated, disabling AND gate 106 and AND gate 110. The signal to delay circuit 114 is delayed sufficiently to allow the tray to assume its lower position and thereafter is transmitted to delay circuit 116 and OR gate 104. OR gate 104 is enabled and in turn activates the reset input of flip-flop 74, causing it to assume its reset state, deactivating drive amplifier 86, thereby de-energizing the feeder lift solenoid 80 so that the feeder 36 may be returned to its feeding position (dotted line position oF FIG. 3). After a sufficient delay to allow the feeder 36 to return to its feeding position, delay circuit 116 transmits the signal to OR gate 98, enabling the OR gate and thereby activating the start copy input of the copy logic 66. The second side copies are now made, and the receiver sheets bearing the second side copies will be stacked in the exit hopper 44, just as the one-sided copies were stacked for easy removal by the operator. As is apparent, when the receiver sheets are delivered to the auxiliary tray 52 from the exit hopper 44, the sheets will have their first copy side face up. Thus when the tray 52 is subsequently placed in position over the primary supply for second side copying, the sheets therein will be fed with their blank face oriented properly to permit second side copies to be made on the blank side of the sheet. At the end of the second side copy run, an end of copy run signal is transmitted to AND gate 108 and AND gate 110. Since AND gate 110 is disabled while flip-flop 72 is in its set state and AND gate 108 has its other input activated by the Q (set) output of flip-flop 72, AND gate 108 will transmit the signal to OR gate 112 and delay circuit 118. OR gate 112 activates the second input of AND gate 94, causing flip-flop 74 to assume its set state and through drive amplifier 86 energize feeder lift solenoid 80, raising the feeder 36 to its upper position. After a delay sufficient for the feeder 36 to reach its upper position, delay circuits 118 transmits the signal to OR gate 102 and delay circuit 120. OR gate 102 is enabled and causes flip-flop 72 to assume its reset state, deactivating AND gate 108 and drive amplifier 84, thus de-energizing the tray solenoid 78, causing the tray to return to its upper position. After a delay sufficient to allow the tray to clear the path of the feeder 36, delay circuit 120 transmits the signal to OR gate 104, enabling the OR gate and causing flip-flop 74 to assume its reset state, thus deactivating drive amplifier 86 and thereby de-energizing the feeder lift solenoid 80. The feeder now returns to its normal position as shown in FIG. 1. The copier 10 and the copy logic 66 are thus returned to conditions existing before the copy run. From the foregoing it is apparent that there is herein provided a simplified apparatus for automatically making two-sided electrophotograhpic copies. By placing a pivoting tray in position to selectively receive sheets from the exit hopper and re-locate them with respect to the generally aligned primary supply so that they may be fed for making second-side copies directly on the sheets containing first-side copies, the paper path of the copier apparatus is simplified to require only a single feeder mechanism, "entrance" path, and "exit" path. The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.
