LCN girls soccer hopes to re-establish winning tradition
By Mark Vest email@example.com Follow Mark on Twitter.
Last season, L'Anse Creuse North's girls soccer team had an overall record of 4-12-5 (1-6-1 in the MAC White).
According to coach Scott Boice, it was the Crusaders' worst league record since he took over the program in 2001.
He has no intention of continuing that trend. Since taking over the program, according to Boice, LCN has an overall record of 138-76-28 (at press time), and has won both league and district championships.
Boice would like to re-establish that standard of success, and he believes he has a group in place that would like to help create some positive memories of their own.
"It's not so much that they realize the success of recent years as much as they want to be successful," he said. "They want to win. They want it, as well."
Boice is encouraged by some of what he has seen thus far.
At press time, LCN was 2-1-1 in the MAC White (5-3-1 overall), already surpassing its league win total from last season. The Crusaders have 20 girls on their roster, which Boice said is the largest team he's ever carried. He credits the depth on the squad, at least in part, as a reason for the team's improved record.
"It offers a lot of opportunity for other girls to get in and help out, as well as have coverage at positions," he said.
Along with a roster that includes five freshmen (Jessica Driscoll, Nicolette Vultaggio, Riley Janssen, and Tara and Kayla Roodbeen), the Crusaders also take to the field with some veteran presence. LCN has 10 returning players from last season, including captains Carson Janssen, Paige Thompson and goalie Victoria Maniaci, who has committed to play for Miami University.
Boice is hopeful that they can help put LCN in position to contend for a league championship.
"This is where we belong, where we should be fighting for league titles," he said. "If we're not winning them, we should be right up there. Even in the good years, there was some second-place finishes, but at least we were one of the teams that was up there fighting at the end.
"This is how L'Anse Creuse North girls soccer is supposed to be."
The Crusaders take on Utica High at 6:30 p.m. April 29 at Utica.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Astronaut assigned to yearlong space trip: 'Fun when you're done, not while you're doing it'
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA astronaut Scott Kelly is already bracing for an unprecedented one-year mission aboard the International Space Station. He figures it will be as grueling as climbing Mount Everest.
"It's fun when you're done with it, not while you're doing it," Kelly said Wednesday, barely a week after being named to the marathon flight along with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko.
The mission, which is set to begin in 2015, is intended as a medical test bed for even longer Mars expeditions in the decades ahead.
Space station life can be routine, Kelly noted during a news conference.
"In the morning, you wake up, you're at work. When you go to sleep, you're also at work. So imagine being in your office for a whole year and you never get to leave," he said. "That is a challenge and it presents its own set of issues, but I think I'm up for it."
As for being off the planet for that long, Kelly said he already knows how he reacts to horrific news while in orbit.
During his five-month space station mission that spanned 2010 and 2011, his sister-in-law, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in Tucson, Arizona. She is married to Kelly's identical twin, Mark, who retired as a NASA astronaut last year.
"Certainly, nothing good comes out of anything like this. But as a result, I do know how I respond to something along those lines," he said.
Kelly, 48, a Navy captain, has two daughters from a previous marriage, ages 9 and 18. The youngest, Charlotte, screamed "awesome" when she learned her father was selected for the one-year mission.
Brother Mark was all for it. So was Giffords. When Mark told his wife, she said, "a year in space, that's great," Scott Kelly said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
Meanwhile, in Russia, Kornienko's wife wept at the news. The 52-year-old cosmonaut, a rocket engineer with one daughter, said he initially had some doubts about taking on such a challenge. He previously spent six months in space.
"A year is a serious time," Kornienko said in Russian. But he said his doubts did not last long, "and actually it was my initiative."
Kelly was among four astronauts on NASA's short list for the assignment. Each had served as a commander aboard the space station, and was able to perform spacewalks and robot arm operations. Medical information also went into the selection: A crew member could not have exceeded his limit for exposure to cosmic radiation, for instance.
Kelly said he has no idea how or why he ended up being chosen. He will set a U.S. space endurance record with this mission. No American has spent more than seven months in space at a time.
Russia, on the other hand, already has experience with yearlong space travel. But it's limited to the old Mir space station and more than a decade has passed.
Four Russian cosmonauts have spent at least one uninterrupted year in space. Another two came close.
The world record — 14 months in a single mission — is held by Dr. Valery Polyakov.
"They all are alive and well today. Their health status is quite good for their age," said Dr. Igor Ushakov, director of the Institute for Biological Problems in Moscow.
Ushakov warned that the medical risks will be at least double what they are on the more typical six-month mission.
NASA space station program scientist Julie Robinson expects the two men to come back just fine. They will watch an assortment of multinational crews come and go during their tenure; up to six people live on the orbiting outpost at any one time.
The loss of bone mass is not nearly the problem it used to be in weightlessness because of improved exercise equipment and procedures, she said. The newest concern is impaired vision related to pressure on the brain and spinal cord; in some cases, astronauts suffer vision problems long after their flight.
In a chart held up by the director of Russia's piloted space program, Alexey Krasnov, nearly half the slots were red, indicating medical risks to eventual trips to the moon, asteroids and Mars.
"There are many things we don't know," Krasnov said. "We should take some risks upon ourselves" now before embarking on such ambitious endeavours beyond Earth's orbit.

Uber cheap, yet amazingly good.
I don't know why I started this project, I must have been bored. But what started out as boredom ended up what will probably replace the speakers I have now. Total cost of drivers, about $50 usd, price of xover, well probably not much, I just used parts from my junk drawer (one of them). These really sound nice, I get alot more bass than I was expecting (good down to 45Hz), and the highs go all the way up (I don't feel the need for a super tweeter). There's a $12 TB W3-871S and a $10 Stryke SA-071, both in an open baffle. Total time of construction, an afternoon (although I haven't finished them yet as you may notice). I just think these sound great, and with the low price if anyone's looking for a dirt cheap quick and easy project to build, you can't be disapointed with these.

There are panels at the bottom next to the woofer acting like sides (folded baffle, and they also let the speakers stand up on their own). The SA-071 has a 6dB xover at 100Hz, while the W3-871S is run fullrange (drops off naturally around 100Hz). The oxver consists of a resistor and cap for the woofer, and two resistors to bring down the FR due to losses in the woofer xover. I haven't countersinked the driver yet, and I haven't finished the "cabinets" yet, so they're not quite done (I might fool a bit with the xover as well), but as they are they're better than my Vifa MTMs (P17WJs and D25AG) that you can see parts of in the pic.

Nice project, JoeBob
This is something anyone could build. Simple but good. Open baffle with stands as well. The main sound is given by the interesting Tangband W3-871S. You made a great choice there! I know from my own experience, that with even a 4" middriver (Focal) you don't miss the upper freq much. The Tangbands 3" probably goes even higher. This is such a project we REALLY could call DIY - when it is at its BEST /halo enjoys |

As for finishing, that's what I've been thinking about. I was thinking of instead of countersinking the driver I'd add a layer a black felt over the whole front baffle, paint the sides and then cover the back with that material you usually use in the front of drivers (I'd use it to hide the back of the drivers). The only thing I'm not sure what to do with are the connectors (right now I have wire directly soldered to the drivers).
The more I listen to them the more I like these, much much tighter bass than I've ever heard. Midranges are outstanding. It doesn't sound like the sound is coming from the speaker, but instead it just sounds like the sound is "in the air" and I'm hearing it. I'm not good a describing the sound of stuff, but these sound better than my $1000 cnd BR pair I spent a month building (kind of annoying, why didn't I build these first?). |

The TB W3-871S I got from creative sound solutions ( http://www.creativesound.ca ) and the Stryke SA071 I got from Stryke ( http://www.stryke.com ). If you want to build some like mine I can post a shematic (pretty simple, four parts) of the xover that worked best for me.

Did your computer still work after being so close to those uber-powerful magnets? I always thought they hosed the drives and stuff if they got too close to them, because the drives are magnetic storage.

The Odyssey of Korean Democracy: Korean Politics, 1987-1990
Lee offers a rare eyewitness account of Korea's recent chaotic, and frequently violent journey to democracy. He offers informed observations on Korea's three famous Kims and Roh Tae-woo, and of the dramatic political events leading to the presidential election in December 1987 and the parliamentary elections in April 1988. Lee also examines the formation of a super-ruling party. Readers will benefit from Lee's presence in the offices of the presidential candidates and from his conversations with leaders directly responsible for the fate of Korean democracy. Knowing what happened in Korean politics during the past three years is prerequisite to understanding the decline of Korea's repressive authoritarian system.

Finally put this stuff in a cream and it is AWESOME!!! No more mixing and mess and it drying up on your face or head. Just follow the directions: smooth on head/and or face, don't exceed 7-10 minutes and use daily to get closer and closer shaves everyday! Keep in mind the first couple of times it may not be completely clean but if you stick with it eventually you will be clean as a whistle. Just be patient and don't exceed recommended times to avoid burns. These are exciting times for cleancut bald-headed men indeed!

Program Name:
Extending STEM Labs to Lower School Students and Community Workshops.
District Name:
Village Academy
Program Category:
Program Description:
Village Academy offers four college preparatory tracks including a Science/Math track focusing on STEM and a specialized engineering curriculum. The engineering courses include a concentration on electrical engineering, software engineering, materials engineering, photonics and holography, computer aided design, rapid prototyping, and fabrication techniques including 3D printing. Students enrolled in these programs as well as middle and upper school Robotics, Advanced Science Lab, Science Olympiad, Physics, Computer Science and Digital Logic will benefit tremendously from the grant in terms of lab equipment and materials. Upper school faculty and advanced upper school students will also then be able to host introductory engineering programs for lower school students and middle school students throughout the community with the objective of nurturing and engaging students in STEM studies through labs, hands-on experiments, and guest speakers.
Impact Of Grant:
The development of rigorous and meaningful laboratory based projects within the engineering sequence of courses as well as the general science curriculum has been limited by the quality and availability of certain key instruments which are just not affordable to the program. Although the students have been extremely resourceful in their entrepreneurial approach to labs (for example last year building their own holography lab with donated materials), additional grant funding will be an invaluable asset to the program engaged in developing science leaders of the future. Village Academy is a non-profit, independent, college preparatory program which has experienced 100% college acceptance. the 23 graduates in the class of 2012 received 2.6 million dollars in scholarship offers.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to ShochoI dislike the apple ear buds as well because they hurt my ears. I bought the rivet brand ear buds. They come with three different size silicone buds so you can use the ones that best fit your ears and they don't fall out. Also this set of ear buds has the microphone on the wire so they are extremely convenient to use when you have an incoming call while you are listening to your iPod on your iPhone. They are a great inexpensive alternative to the Apple stock ear buds. You can get them at rivetnow.com. They are $29.99. I think the sound is great. I haven't had a problem with them as of yet.
Hope this helps.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to ShochoI got a set of V-Modas, because I also can't waer the Apple supplied ones. The V-Modas are fantastic. The cords are made of a fabric material instead of plastic. Very nice.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to Peter K. GretherI whole-heartedly endorse the v-moda duos -- i've never worn a more comfortable pair of headphones.
But there are other options if you want to stick with the apple earbuds. In additon to the link above, Griffin also has similar earbuds that snap onto the apple headphones -- available just about everywhere iPod accessories are sold. -

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to Peter K. GretherI had conteplated a pair of the V-Modas at first. But I didn't want to spend $100 on a pair of earbuds and end up finding that I didn't like them. So I went for the less expensive Rivet brand so I would only be out $30 if they didn't work out-thankfully they did. These too have the fabric cord as well.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to ShochoRegardless of what you do, if you decide on a different headset then what is available as standard for the iPhone make sure that your choice also allows you to answer the iPhone in the same manner, i.e., with the headset button, that the in-box headphones do.
If you are merely buying earbuds for attachment to the standard Apple/iPhone headset, that will not be a concern.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to iPhoNettieHi Nettle,
The Rivets look good too. I wanted noise cancelling earbuds, and the V-Modas were available at the Apple store, without searching or ordering online. I guess I'm lazy!

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to mikeabMikeab...I'd love to do an informal poll, but I don't know anyone of my friends who actually use the click-control on their iPhone headphones...of course, maybe everyone else does -- so I'm not sure how big a consideration that really is...the v-moda duo's have a microphone, and I don't even use that.
But you are right that if you like the click-control there are very limited options right now. -

Polls are not permitted by the rules of the TOU.
I do not know how many people do use it, merely providing advise.
I assume that you live in A2. My grandson is one of the top gymnasts on the Big Blue team. 13th in the NCAA.

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to mikeabVery cool! I try to get to as many of the Olympic Sports events as I can at UM every year. It's tough to get people to attend their meets in a 99.9 percent football-driven school and town. -

Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to RonAnnArborI for one, am a avid user of the click button. It is very useful for when you are in the gym and want ot answer or click to the next song with out having to pull it out.
Although I am looking for a new set of buds, I do appreciate the fact that apple used the similar design of the iPod's earphones. The first thing I felt when I purchased this phone and used it in the gym, was a target. I also felt like I might be showing off if I puled it out. So the look and design of these earphones made it easy to just slip in whith the rest of the ipod users with out being notced. The mic even looks like the cord tie on the orginals which is great.
But sadly, My left earbud has distortion now. -
RonAnnArbor Aug 26, 2007 7:18 PM
Re: iPhone in-ear earbuds in response to Stephan SThe earbud problems are well known -- just take your earphones to the Apple store and they will swap it out for a new working pair right there and then.

The Ultimate Horseback Riding Adventure
Jan 16, 2011 01:11 pm
This place is a easy five out of five. The family is GREAT, extremely friendly and outgoing, knowledgeable, and very patient with new beginners. They have a great variety of horses for whatever skill level you are at. The horses themselves are friendly, very well behaved, clean and healthy with their unforgettable personalities and funny traits. All of these great positives makes this place somewhere not only am I planning on going to again but will tell my friends and family to do as well. Out of towners should have this on their must do list for a south Florida attraction. Nothing bad can be said about this place. WILL DO AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Description This invention relates to light emitting diode (LED) traffic signals, and more particularly, to a method of powering an LED traffic signal without the use of a power supply or control unit in the signal head. A conventional traffic signal employs a power supply and control electronic module located inside the traffic signal head. This configuration has the following limitations: The conventional power supply and control module are located in an environmentally unfriendly location. The signal head is exposed to direct sunlight without proper ventilation, meaning it is exposed to extremes in temperature. Worse, if the power supply and control module fails, traffic lanes must be closed and the repair made using a �bucket truck� to reach the signal head. Since the conventional control module is located in the signal head, information must be communicated from the control module to the traffic signal controller mounted in an electrical cabinet beside the roadway. To accomplish this, a separate communications line must be installed, or the information must be superimposed on the existing traffic signal electrical wires, or the information must be transmitted via a wireless method. Since a high-frequency switching regulator is enclosed in a metal electrical cabinet at the street corner, the radiated electrical noise created by the switching circuitry must be shielded from the radios of passing motorists by the metal electrical cabinet, and is not placed overhead with high-frequency radio emissions. Since conventional traffic signal control is configured to detect malfunctioning incandescent bulbs by measuring signal head voltage, measuring the signal head voltage of an LED signal does always detect a malfunction, as the LED gradually loses light output, even with proper voltage levels applied. Since the conventional control module is located in the signal head, and communications from the signal head to the traffic signal controller is generally not available, or not affordable, the conventional signal head responds to a calculated end-of-life by breaking a fuse to emulate a �burned-out� incandescent bulb. This method has two disadvantages:
Traditionally, the old-style traffic signal bulb filaments would simply burn out at the end of the bulb life. Special monitoring circuitry connected to the wire feeding power from the traffic signal controller to the signal head senses the voltage across the bulb. If the bulb filament is intact, the voltage measured across the bulb is essentially zero. If the filament is burned-out, the lamp switch leakage is no longer connected through the filament, and the voltage across the bulb is large, indicating the dangerous condition to the Traffic Control Center. This sensor might also place the intersection into FLASH RED in the opposing direction, to insure motorist safety. The Traffic Control Center would then schedule a service call to replace the bulb. Currently, the incandescent bulbs of traffic signals are being replaced by LED light sources, with the advantage of much lower power and longer life. Because incandescent bulbs emit tungsten light, consisting of a broad color spectrum, only a small portion of the light is passed through a color filter to the driver. LEDs emit monochrome light. For example, a RED LED emits RED light, meaning that the power to produce only light of the desired color is much less. Because LEDs do not operate on the normal power line voltage (120 VAC, 60 Hz in the US, for example), a power supply is embedded in each signal head to convert the power line voltage to the lower voltage and current required by the LED light source. However, because LED light sources do not �burn out� as do light bulbs, another problem is created. As the LED light source ages, its light output gradually decreases, to the point of creating a dangerous condition. Worst, after the LED light output has reached a dangerously low level, no corresponding loss of signal voltage or current alerts the traffic signal controller to the danger. To counteract this problem, a control module is installed in each signal head. Different methods are used by the control module to sense the end-of-life for the LED light source. In one method, the LED light source brightness is measured by the control module using a photo sensor, such as a photo diode, photo transistor, or cadmium sulfide cell. As the light output falls with age or temperature, the control module increases power to the LED light source to compensate. Once the control module determines that the LED light source has reached the end of its life, different methods are used to inform the Traffic Control Center, among them:
Thus, the conventional traffic signal has disadvantages, with some of the disadvantages listed below: Each signal head includes a power supply, which adds expense, is prone to failure and is located overhead, where servicing and replacement are inconvenient at best and dangerous to the motorist at worst. To maintain LED signal efficiency, the power supply installed in each signal head employs a switching regulator. This type of regulator increases or decreases the LED light output by switching the LED light source ON and OFF at a rapid rate (usually about 20,000 times per second). The light output is controlled by varying the amount of ON time relative to OFF time (duty-cycle). While very efficient, this method naturally transmits this switching frequency into the air, causing potential interference with radios and emergency communications. To counteract this problem, various noise-suppression and shielding techniques are required. The end-of-life indication method of �blowing� a fuse provides no prior warning, meaning that the fuse may blow in the middle of rush hour, disabling a vital traffic signal. This method could endanger the public until the signal is replaced. The end-of-life indication method of �blowing� a fuse frequently malfunctions and �blows� prematurely, especially during conditions of lightning surges. The end-of-life indication method employing communications adds cost and complexity, including the possible installation of additional wires for communications lines. Thus, there is a need to eliminate the power supply and control module in the signal head of a traffic signal. An object of the invention is to fulfill the need referred to above. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, this objective is achieved by providing a traffic signal for controlling vehicular traffic. The traffic signal includes a light source having a light emitting diode (LED) array. A power regulator is associated with the light source and is constructed and arranged to control input current to the light source. A traffic signal controller is remote from the light source and the power regulator. The traffic signal controller is constructed and arranged to provide an input voltage signal to the power regulator, with the input current being based on the input voltage signal. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method of controlling a light source including at least one light emitting diode (LED) provides a DC input voltage from a source to a power regulator associated with the light source. The source is remote from the light source and the power regulator. The power regulator provides, based on the DC input voltage, an input current to the light source to illuminate the LED. The input current is varied based on certain conditions associated with the light source. Other objects, features and characteristics of the present invention, as well as the methods of operation and the functions of the related elements of the structure, the combination of parts and economics of manufacture will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification. The invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts, in which: A light source, a power regulator, and a control algorithm define an LED traffic signal in accordance with the principles of an embodiment of the invention. With reference to Applying Kirchhoff's Current Law:
Therefore, as long as Iin=lout, current is flowing though each of the four LEDs, meaning the traffic signal is in the ON state and emitting light of the proper color. Again, in the embodiment of As shown in As the branch current is increased through each LED, the voltage across each LED remains essentially constant, meaning that both the light and heat output of each LED increases with increasing branch current. Unlike a traditional incandescent light bulb, LEDs do not �burn out� abruptly at the end of their useful life. Rather, the light emitted from an LED gradually decreases with age, meaning that at a constant branch current and constant temperature, the light output of an LED traffic signal will gradually decrease with age to an unsafe level that is too dim to be recognized by a driver. In addition, the light output of an LED is inversely proportional to temperature, meaning that the light output decreases in hot weather, and will permanently age much more quickly with exposure to hot weather. Since high temperatures decrease LED light output, which necessitates additional current, which increases heat, the LED branch current must be controlled to maintain a safe light output. Therefore, the LED current can be decreased during conditions of cool ambient temperatures to increase the LED life. To obtain maximum LED life, the LED can be dimmed at night, during conditions of minimum ambient light. Since the human eye dilates during low ambient light, the perceived LED contrast remains constant with a much lower light output at night. Conversely, with the sun situated low on the horizon, a driver facing the sun must contend with constriction of the human eye, meaning that the traffic signal will be much more difficult to see. For safety, the LED light output could be increased during sunrise and sunset. Furthermore, a traffic signal facing the sun low on the horizon suffers from a phenomenon known as �sun phantom� meaning that the sunlight from behind the driver is reflected by the traffic signal back towards the driver, making the signal appear to be ON when it is actually OFF. Increasing the traffic signal light output during sunrise and sunset increases the contrast between the ON signal head and the OFF signal heads, as the reflected sun phantom of the OFF signal heads remains constant. In addition to ambient temperature and light, driver safety in other adverse weather conditions, such as fog, snow and rain can benefit by increased light output to improve the traffic signal contrast. As described above, the light output of the light source 10 is increased by increasing the input current Iin, while the light output of the light source 10 is decreased by decreasing the input current Iin. In addition, as long as the non-zero input current Iin is equal to the return current Iout, the light source 10 is working and emitting light. Therefore, with reference to The current control circuitry controls the input current flowing to the light source (Iin), based on a signal Vc from a Traffic Signal Controller 16. In the embodiment of Vc is sensed by the microcontroller U1, which responds by placing a second fixed-frequency, variable duty-cycle signal on OUT1. The OUT1 signal then turns a P-Channel Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor (PMOSFET) Q1 ON and OFF in the same proportional duty-cycle to match the duty-cycle of Vc. When Q1 is ON, diode D5 is back-biased and has negligible effect, and the inductor L1 is connected to voltage Vs. Since L1 cannot allow the current Iin to change instantaneously, Iin begins to increase as a natural logarithm. As Iin increases, the voltage across R1 increases according to Ohm's Law:
The voltage at one end of R1 is measured by U1 at analog input A1, while the voltage at the other end of R1 is measured by U1 at analog input A2. U1 then subtracts the voltage at A2 from the voltage measured at A1. Because the value of R1 is set in U1 memory, Iin is calculated by U1 using Ohm's Law. U1 leaves Q1 set to ON until the current prescribed by the Vc duty-cycle is reached. At that point, U1 sets Q1 to OFF. Because the current Iin cannot change instantaneously, and must continue to flow while Q1 is OFF, Iin will continue to flow through the Light Source and travel back to the Power Regulator as lout, which then forward-bias D5, which then directs Iout back to the light source 10 as Iin in a circular fashion. U1 leaves Q1 set to OFF for the portion of the duty-cycle prescribed by signal Vc. Once the Q1 OFF time expires, U1 then turns Q1 ON, and the cycle repeats. Using this method, the current flowing to the light source 10 can be set by the Traffic Signal Controller 16 via signal Vc. Vs is a DC voltage provided by a separate power supply 20 of the Traffic Signal Controller 16 that converts 120 VAC (or other service voltage if outside the US) to a DC voltage used by the power regulator 14. This is a single power supply 20 located remotely in the electrical cabinet at the street corner, versus a separate power supply located in each signal head that is required by conventional LED traffic signals. One method used by U1 to detect faults is by simply measuring the drain current (Iout) that returns from the light source 10. The returned drain current is measured by U1 by measuring the voltage across R2 using analog inputs A3 and A4. Again, since the value of R2 is stored in U1 memory, U1 calculates the drain current returned from the light source 10. As long as the drain current (Iout) returned from the light source 10 is approximately equal to the input current (Iin), the light source is functioning. If Iin is not approximately equal to Iout while the light source 10 is intended to be ON, the light source is not working correctly, due to a broken wire or current leakage. Conversely, if Iin or Iout current flow is detected while the light source 10 is intended to be OFF, the light source is not working correctly due to a leakage path. Detected fault conditions are sent via U1 OUT2 to a Traffic Signal Monitor input signal Vf. The Traffic Signal Monitor (not shown) can then alert the Traffic Signal Controller 16 and Central Office (not shown) for service, as well as to place the intersection into a safe state (FLASH, for example). In the embodiment of A control algorithm 18 is implemented as executable code stored on a computer readable medium (e.g., a hard disk drive, a floppy drive, a random access memory, a read only memory, an EPROM, a compact disc, etc,) of the device controlling the power regulator, usually the Traffic Signal Controller 16. Thus, the Traffic Signal Controller 16, remote from the light source 10 and power regulator 14 can be any controller that controls the power regulator 14. The control algorithm 18 performs the following three functions:
The Traffic Signal Controller calculates the optimum current for the Light Source as a function of the following Input Terms known to the Traffic Signal Control software:
Full-Scale Current (FSC) is the current generated by the power regulator 14 when the signal Vc is set to 100% ON. FSC can be calculated from requirements from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, which specifies the light color temperature for each type of signal, plus the light intensity measured at varying horizontal and vertical axes, as shown in
Since the color temperature, light intensity and light dispersion patterns are known for each signal type, the light source 10 can readily be configured by matching the light requirements of the signal to the data sheets provided by the manufacturers of LEDs, which include light color temperature and light dispersion, plus light intensity as a function of current, temperature and age. Once the light source 10 is configured, the FSC can be calculated from the input terms in the formula below. The example shown in Since the Luminous Intensity required to meet the ITE requirements is known, and the number of LEDs used in the light source 10 is known, the amount of current Iin can be set by the Traffic Signal Controller 16 via the power regulator 14. Since the time of day is known to the Traffic Signal Controller 16 by year, month, day, hour, minute and second, the Luminous Intensity can be adjusted by varying Iin. For example, the Luminous Intensity can be lowered at night to prolong the life of the light source, and increased during sunrise and sunset to increase the contrast. Since adverse weather conditions are known to the Central Transportation Control Center (not shown), and since the Central Transportation Control Center is connected to the Traffic Signal Controllers 16, the Luminous Intensity can be increased during adverse weather conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, smoke, etc. When the Traffic Signal Controller 16 calculates the need for Iin that exceeds the allowable Iin depicted in When the light source 10 is replaced, the ON-Hour record is set to zero in the memory of the Traffic Signal Controller 16, and the light source life-cycle repeats. Thus, the embodiment provides four major functions: 1) Converts normal power line voltage (120 VAC, 60 Hz in the US for example) to the lower DC voltage and current required by the LED light source, 2) Provides an indication of remaining life of the LED light source, 3) Provides additional safety to motorists by increasing the light output in conditions of fog, snow, or bright sunlight low on the horizon, 4) Saves power and increases the life of the LED light source by adjusting the LED light source in response to life or environmental conditions, 5) Provides an improved method to monitor and detect malfunctioning or miss-wired LED signal heads. Several advantages of the embodiment are:
Again, illustrated embodiment is described using example data. It can be appreciated that data for various LED devices other than the data shown here can be employed and the embodiment can accommodate the requirements for various countries other than the ITE requirements for the US described herein. Other methods, other than using a microcontroller U1, may be used to control the source current (Iin) and to detect fault conditions can be used. The foregoing preferred embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the structural and functional principles of the present invention, as well as illustrating the methods of employing the preferred embodiments and are subject to change without departing from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit of the following claims. Patent Citations

Sharks fan died before kick off
Comment on this storyA Sharks fan died as she headed for her seat at King's Park to watch the first match of the season.
Claire Buisman, 52, died of an apparent heart attack as she walked up the south-west ramp at about 6.15pm on Saturday, before the Sharks took on the Bulls. The ramp lift was out of order, with a security guard turning spectators away.
Her husband was with her.
A friend of the family, Jen Harper Marais, said Buisman was a loving wife, mother and friend.
"She was one of the friendliest people you would ever have the honour of meeting.
"A moment of silence at the next Sharks game would be an amazing way to honour her life," Marais said.
On the Sharks Facebook page, the franchise's management extended their condolences to the family.
Novashni Chetty, PR manager for the Sharks, confirmed a supporter had collapsed on ramp 2, level 4, just before the match kicked off.
"She was attended to immediately by paramedics and doctors on duty. They tried to resuscitate her for over an hour," Chetty said.
Buisman was the operations manager at the Durban and Coast SPCA.
Chetty said there would be a moment of silence in memory of Buisman before Saturday's Sharks vs Hurricanes game.
Caroline Smith, marketing manager for Durban and Coast SPCA, said Buisman was going to receive a 20-year certificate for her dedicated service to the SPCA. She said Buisman was married to Jan and had three daughters: Jackie, Haylee and Kate.
"Our hearts go out to them during this very difficult time.
"The staff and management at our SPCA are still reeling from the shock of Claire's sudden and tragic death. She was an astute and talented operations manager who was passionate about her role in our organisation. She was also a dear friend and she will be sorely missed by every one of us." - Daily News
