Prolonged Solitary Confinement at Pelican Bay is Cruel and Unusual Punishment, Torture, Lawyers Say
May 31, 2012, Oakland – Today, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of prisoners at Pelican Bay State Prison who have spent between 10 and 28 years in solitary confinement. The legal action is part of a larger movement to reform inhumane conditions in California prisons' Security Housing Units (SHU), a movement dramatized by a 2011 hunger strike by thousands of SHU prisoners; the named plaintiffs include hunger strikers, among them several of the principal negotiators for the hunger strike. The class action suit, which is being jointly filed by CCR and several advocate and legal organizations in California, alleges that prolonged solitary confinement violates Eighth Amendment prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment, and that the absence of meaningful review for SHU placement violates the prisoners' right to due process.
The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change.

Written by Jeff Thredgold, President, Thredgold Economic Associates
February 17
Financial developments within Greece of recent weeks should be considered "a shot across the bow" for similar smaller nations such as Portugal, Spain, and Ireland. Such a warning shot regarding high debt levels should also be taken seriously by larger nations, including the United Kingdom and the United States.
The nation of Greece is facing a financial crisis, tied in part to the short-term impact of the deep European and global recession just ended. Unemployment is flirting with 10.0%. At the same time, the implication of living too long above its financial means is now coming home to roost.
Investor concerns about the quantity and quality of debt issued by the Greek government, known as sovereign (or national) debt, have risen sharply in recent weeks. High debt levels as they relate to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) have heightened the issue of potential default, or at least the painful reality of the sharply declining value of Greek debt securities.
Sovereign debt defaults are infrequent, but can and do occur. The past 15-20 years have seen Russia default on its debt, Mexico face a debt crisis (to be assisted by the U.S.), various Asian nations face major debt and currency issues, and more recently Argentina default on its debt (The Wall Street Journal).
Greece is currently running a budget deficit estimated at 13% of GDP. Such a massive deficit runs contrary to the mandates of "euro zone" membership, which limit annual budget deficits to no more than 3% of GDP. Talk is cheap, with no real means of enforcement to such requirements.
In the years prior to the establishment of the euro zone, a smaller European nation could move to devalue its currency as a temporary means of boosting exports, thereby improving its economic performance. Such an option is not now available to Greece or other euro zone member nations as monetary policy is conducted on an aggregate basis by the European Central Bank.
The greatest threat regarding the current Greek debt solvency debate is the possible domino effect involving other nations. A Greek default on its debt, or a painful plunge in the value and marketability of Greek debt securities, would likely be followed by similar debt issues for other nations. Such a domino or cascade effect would be difficult to stop once the process had begun.
The role of stronger European nations in lessening financial market anxiety regarding Greek debt is being hotly debated in Berlin and Paris. Germany and France, the two most dominant members of the euro zone, have announced a support package for Greece, the details of which are under discussion.
Any financial support or limited debt guarantees provided by the stronger euro zone players would be most unpopular with their own citizens. At the same time, economic and financial conditions imposed on Greece by Germany and France as part of a support package would be opposed by a large and politically strong Greek public sector work force and strong trade unions. Strikes and public protests are already part and parcel of Greek life today in regard to proposed cuts in government spending.
At the same time, any financial support provided for Greece by the Germans and the French would effectively be seen as a similar level of support, if necessary, for Spain, for Ireland, and for Portugal, with Italy and Belgium possibly not far behind. Needless to say, the Germans and the French are extremely wary of such "moral" guarantees of financial assistance.
An IMF Role?
The Germans and the French could elect to stay relatively silent and let the International Monetary Fund (IMF) step in to support Greece. However, the German/French position is likely to be one of letting Europe solve its own problems, without outside influence and interference.
The fact that the Germans and the French see the IMF as an institution dominated by the U.S. only adds to their reluctance to have the IMF highly involved in the Greek situation. The Greek people are also likely to oppose extensive IMF involvement in their financial problems as the IMF usually requires highly painful austerity steps (meaning sharp cuts in public spending, with even higher unemployment rates) as a condition of financial support.
Larger Nations?
Current sovereign debt issues at play in smaller European nations should be a wake up call for London and Washington DC. While political leaders in the U.K. and the U.S. see no real chance of similar financial market anxiety regarding U.K. and U.S. debt levels, caution is advised.
Note the chart below. Unprecedented annual budget deficits lead to a rapidly expanding sovereign debt. The U.S. simply cannot afford to run massive and irresponsible trillion dollar budget deficits for years to come without consequence.
The possible domino effect is real. Financial markets function effectively when confidence levels of investors are high. Investors are willing to buy debt securities issued by corporations or municipalities or nations if they feel highly confident in the repayment ability of the issuer.
Investors must also feel highly confident in their ability to easily sell such securities into viable financial markets at any time at reasonable prices. Rising sovereign debt levels, combined with rising interest costs to service such debt, can and will eventually ravage investor confidence.
As noted before, if you earn $60,000 annually but spend $90,000, life is good, with plenty of extras. If the following year you earn $70,000 but spend $100,000, life is also good. However, you are dependent upon someone to believe in your ability to repay borrowed money. You are also subject to higher and higher financing costs.
When potential lenders (or investors) eventually ratchet up the price of credit, or suspend access to any additional credit, life is no longer so good. At that point, the creditors can make many painful demands to reduce your "quality of life" and enhance their ability to be repaid.
Such is true at your house and mine. Such is true for corporations and municipalities that issue debt. Such can eventually be true for various nations…Greece today…and possibly the U.S. tomorrow.

Customizable simple pin connector
by sphynx, published
A new version of the pin connector.
Remixed From
Liked Byview all
Give a Shout Out
A new rewritten version of the pin connector. I don't like reinventing the wheel, but I felt the need to rewrite this because I needed a few more variable parameters and couldn't easily see where to make the changes in the original code. It just does simple double ended pins - no holes etc.
It is a customizable thing.
You can vary the following parameters:
// The total length of the pin. pin_length = 67; // The radius of the pin shaft. pin_radius = 3.5; // The length of the head of the pin. pin_head_length = 4; // The lip around the pin head. This is the bit that grips the sides of the pin hole. pin_head_lip = 0.6; // The length of the slot on the pin. slot_length = 10; // The width of the slot in the pin. slot_width = 2; // The number of sides of the pin shaft and pin head. sides = 30; // The fractional flattening of the shaft. For example with a pin shaft radius of 5mm, then 0.1 puts 0.5mm deep flats on the pin. flat = 0.2;

NASA's GRAIL Probes Prepare To Crash Into Moon On Monday
[ Watch the Video: Last Flight For GRAIL's Twin Spacecraft]
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
After a year run, NASA is preparing to end the twin lunar-orbiting GRAIL probes' mission with a bang — into the Moon, that is.
NASA said that the twin spacecraft are being prepared for their controlled descent and impact on a mountain near the moon's north pole next Monday at 2:28 p.m. Pacific time.
The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission probes, Ebb and Flow, are being crashed into the lunar surface because their low orbit and low fuel levels preclude any further scientific operations, NASA said.
The twin spacecraft have allowed scientists to learn more about the internal structure and composition of the moon.
Monday will mark the end of the successful prime and extended missions that helped generate the highest-resolution gravity field map of any celestial body. The map will help provide a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved.
"It is going to be difficult to say goodbye," GRAIL principal investigator Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, said in a statement. "Our little robotic twins have been exemplary members of the GRAIL family, and planetary science has advanced in a major way because of their contributions."
The twin probes will crash land into a mountain located near a crater named Goldschmidt. Both spacecraft have been flying in formation around the moon since January 1 of this year.
Ebb and Flow will make impact with the moon at 3,760 miles per hour. NASA said that no imagery of the impact is expected because the point of impact will be in the shadowy part of the Moon.
For their final task, the twin probes will be firing off their main engines until their propellant tanks are empty to determine exactly how much fuel remained in their tanks. This will help NASA validate fuel consumption computer models to improve predictions of fuel needs for future missions.
"Our lunar twins may be in the twilight of their operational lives, but one thing is for sure, they are going down swinging," said GRAIL project manager David Lehman of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"Even during the last half of their last orbit, we are going to do an engineering experiment that could help future missions operate more efficiently."
Mission navigators and engineers designed the depletion burn to allow the probes to descend gradually for several hours and skim the surface of the moon until the elevated terrain of the target mountain gets in their way.
"Such a unique end-of-mission scenario requires extensive and detailed mission planning and navigation," Lehman said in the release. "We've had our share of challenges during this mission and always come through in flying colors, but nobody I know around here has ever flown into a moon mountain before. It'll be a first for us, that's for sure."

You should be able to buy it at lots of places but I would go for the larger supermarkets -particularly foreign ones like Carrefours or Jusco. That way you definitely won't get counterfeit liquor (which is always a chance in small shops).

A thermocouple consists of a first thin layer of metal disposed on a mylar sheet. The metal layer is then covered with a varnish by employing a printing process which prints spaced apart apertures on the metal layer indicative of a hot junction and a reference junction terminal. Another top metal layer is deposited upon the varnish layer in a line grating pattern to cover one hole in each pair to thus form a hot junction by connecting the top metal layer to the first layer via the hole. The other aperture forms one terminal of the reference junction. The metal layers are extremely thin as deposited by a vapor evaporation process and hence the thermocouple exhibits a rapid response to temperature change. The method of fabrication of the devices enables one to provide mass produced units at extremely low cost.
1. A thermocouple device, comprising:
a planar plastic layer member of a rectangular configuration and having a given length greater than the width, said member having disposed on said surface a first thin layer of a thermocouple element metal completely covering the same, a layer of an insulator material disposed upon and completely covering said first thin layer of said thermocouple element metal, said insulating layer having a first aperture near one end and located above a center line parallel to said longer sides, and a second aperture at said other end and located below said center line, each of said apertures directed through said insulating layer to directly contact said first metal layer, a second thin layer of a different thermocouple metal disposed on top of said insulating layer and positioned above said center line and directed from one end to the other along the length to overlie said first aperture with said second metal layer contacting said first metal layer via said first aperture to form a hot junction for said thermocouple, with said second aperture in contact with said first layer forming one terminal of a reference junction and with the other terminal supplied by contact with said second metal layer at a point above said center line and adjacent to said second aperture.
2. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said first and second metal layers are tin and bismuth.
3. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said first and second metal layers are between 2,000 to 5,000 Angstroms thick.
4. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said plastic layer is a plastic sheet.
5. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said insulator material is an insulator varnish.
6. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said thermocouple device has a rounded end near said first aperture and a concave end near said second aperture.
7. The thermocouple device according to claim 1, wherein said first and second apertures are rectangular in shape.
This invention relates to thermocouples and more particularly to an economical thermocouple which, based on its low cost, can be employed as a disposable unit.
The prior art is replete with a host of patents and devices describing thermocouple devices of various configurations and constructions.
Essentially, a thermocouple is an electric circuit consisting of a pair of wires of different metals jointed together at one end called the sensing junction and terminated at the other end in such a manner that the terminals are both at the same and a known temperature. This is called the reference junction and the known temperature is called the reference temperature. The terminal leads of the reference junction are connected to a high input inpedance amplifier and due to the thermoelectric effect (Seebeck effect) a voltage is created across the reference junction whenever the sensing junction and the reference junction are at different temperatures. The magnitude of the voltage is an indication of the temperature difference. Usually, the reference junction is held at a known constant temperature or is electrically compensated for variations from a preselected temperature.
The prior art has employed a host of different metal wires to implement the thermocouple structure. The materials employed have been Chromel, Alumel, Constanton, copper, iron, platinum, alloys of platinum as platinum and rhodium, tungsten, tungsten-rhenium alloys, nickel and ferrous nickel alloys.
The thermoelectrical emf which causes current flow through a circuit is also dependent upon the junction wire materials and the temperature difference between the junctions. Their characteristics are well known in the field. See a text entitled Electronics Engineers Handbook by D. G. Fink and A. A. McKenzie (1975) (1st Edition) McGraw-Hill, Inc. Section 10, "Transducers".
As indicated, the use of the thermocouple to measure temperature is well known and the applications are many.
In any event, a major problem exists in the measurement of human body temperature. Essentially, each year about 1 billion temperature measurements are made at hospitals in the U.S.A., and the number of measurements made throughout the world is of a greater magnitude. Due to the progress made in the field of medical electronics, there has been a widespread use of the electronic thermometer, especially for hospital use. These devices employ a temperature probe which is coupled to a suitable electronic circuit and display to measure body temperature. The probe is inserted into the mouth of a user during a measurement and a display indicates the temperature.
Examples of such instruments are many and many different companies supply and sell such devices for hospital use. It is, of course, apparent that in order to employ such a thermometer for hospital use, one must provide probe isolation from one patient to another. In this manner a plastic sterilized probe cover is employed. The cover is used to enclose the probe for each temperature measurement and is then discarded and a new cover inserted for the next measurement. Even though the covers are disposable and made from an inexpensive plastic, their cost is significant when one considers the number of temperature measurements made during a prolonged interval.
Based upon such considerations, if a savings in this component of only a fraction of a penny or more could be had, this would result in a substantial savings over the course of a year.
Apart from this factor is the fact that the probe section of the thermometer which is constantly being covered and measured is subjected to extensive wear and this probe has to be replaced at frequent intervals as well. The probe is a relatively expensive component in such devices and replacement of the same necessitates a recalibration of the instrument.
A further problem with the conventional thermometer is the excessive time required to take a patient's temperature. Due to the above considerations the plastic covered probe is of a relatively large mass and hence takes an appreciable amount of time to indicate the temperature. In such devices, one must be sure that the displayed temperature is correct and hence one must wait for the plastic covered probe to heat up during a temperature measurement. Any reduction in this time results in a great savings in time due to the huge number of temperature measurements made as described above.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a thermocouple device which, based on its construction, is extremely inexpensive and adapted to replace the conventional probe and plastic cover for human body temperature measurements.
It is a further object to provide a method of manufacturing a thermocouple device which method enables one to provide a rugged low-cost unit particularly adapted for human measurements which unit can provide a rapid response to body temperature.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating a thermocouple employed in measuring temperature.
A thermocouple device comprising a planar plastic layer having disposed thereon a first thin layer of a thermocouple element metal, a layer of an insulator material disposed upon and covering said first layer of metal with said insulator layer having first and second apertures on a surface with said apertures positioned at opposite ends of said layer and spaced apart one from the other on either side of an imaginery line extending from one end to the other; a second thin layer of a thermocouple element metal disposed on top of said insulator layer and covering said first aperture and extending as a strip from said one end to the other, with said first and second metal layer contacting each other via said first aperture to form a hot junction and with said second aperture enabling contact with said first layer to form one terminal of said reference junction, the other terminal supplied by contact with said second metal layer.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a thermocouple device according to this invention.
FIG. 2 is a side plan view of the thermocouple device.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a thermocouple circuit.
FIGS. 4A to 4E depict the steps in the process of fabricating the thermocouple device.
FIGS. 5A to 5F show the devices provided at each step of the process.
FIG. 6 is a simple block diagram of the thermocouple inserted in a socket housing.
FIG. 6A is a simple schematic circuit.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a top plan view of a low cost thermocouple 10 according to this invention.
The thermocouple 10 has a rounded end 11 for insertion into the mouth of a user.
The opposite end 12 is concave and is for insertions into a holder which enables the thermocouple 10 to be plugged into and removed from an electronic sensing circuit with a display to indicate temperature as will be explained. The sensing junction or hot junction 14 is in close proximity to the rounded end 11, while the reference junction or cold juntion terminals 13 and 15 are in close proximity to the concave end 12. As seen in FIG. 1, the upper section 16 of the thermocouple 10 consists of an extending strip of a first thermocouple metal, which is adjacent to a layer of an insulative lacquer or varnish 17. The lacquer layer 17 has a window 18 disposed therein which window contacts a bottom layer of metal 19.
The sensing junction 11, as will be explained, is formed by allowing the metal layer 16 to contact the metal layer 19 through an aperture in the lacquer layer 17 and as will be explained which is implemented during the construction process.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a side plan view of the thermocouple device 10.
As seen from FIG. 2, the thermocouple 10 is a composite device of a laminated or layered construction. The device may have a bottom paper board layer 21 which is relatively thick and which acts as a supporting base plate if thickness is desired. Disposed upon the layer 21 is a thin plastic sheet 20 which preferably is fabricated from Mylar. Deposited on the plastic sheet 20 is the layer of thermocouple metal 19. Disposed on top of the metal layer 19 is the lacquer layer 17. The lacquer layer has two apertures as 13 and 22. The aperture 13 allows one to contact metal layer 19 to provide one terminal for the cold or reference junction, while the aperture 22 allows contact between the metal layer 19 and the metal layer 16 to form the hot or sensing junction 11.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a simple schematic of a thermocouple element with the reference numerals of FIGS. 1 and 2 used to designate the appropriate locations.
The device 10 depicted in FIG. 1 and 2 is approximately 2 to 3 inches in length from end 11 to 12, with a width of about 1/4 inch. These dimensions can vary according to requirements and there is no intention of being limited by the same. Before proceeding with a description of the fabrication techniques, it is indicated that the metal layers 16 and 19 are preferably elements rather than alloys. As indicated above, many thermocouples employ alloy composition for the elements. In this application element metals are employed such as tin and bismuth for the metal layers 16 and 19, due to the processes utilized and as will be further explained.
Referring to FIG. 4A, there is shown the first step in the fabrication process of the thermocouple 10. A vacuum chamber 30 is shown. Such chambers 30 are well known and are used for potato chip bags, metallic wrapping paper, etc.
The vacuum chamber contains two rotatable spools 31 and 32 having disposed between them a sheet of mylar 33. Essentially, spool 32 is a takeup spool while spool 31 is a feed spool. The mylar sheet 33 may be a few feet in width for large production capability and is between 0.001-0.01 inches thick. Mylar sheets of such size are conventional and are employed for many purposes. The sheet 33 is caused to move from spool 31 to spool 32. Disposed in the vacuum chamber 30 is a vapor deposition apparatus 34. The apparatus 34 evaporates or sputters a thin layer of metal 19 on the Mylar sheet 33. The mylar sheet 33 as is ascertained functions as the sheet or layer 20 shown in FIG. 2.
The vapor evaporation apparatus 34 is also well known and one can coat mylar or plastic sheets with thin layers of metal by vapor evaporation or other processes. Essentially, the metal layer 19 may be tin or bismuth or some other thermocouple metal element. It is important to note that by utilizing vapor evaporation or vacuum sputtering, which are reliable processes, one cannot conveniently employ an alloy due to the fact that the evaporation processes will alter the alloy and change its characteristics.
The vacuum chamber 30 is held at a high vacuum condition (10-5 to 10-6 torr). The metal material to be evaporated is heated by an electron beam or otherwise until it vaporizes. The vaporized material radiates (dashed lines) where it is deposited upon the mylar film 33. The film may also be preheated to maintain good adhesion. This is a conventional technique used for coating plastic film with metals. One could also employ a sputtering technique which can be implemented in a low pressure gas atmosphere. The layer of metal 19 is about 2,000 to 5,000 Angstroms thick and hence is an extremely thin layer which serves to coat the mylar sheet. See cross sectional view of FIG. 5A to the right of FIG. 4A.
Referring to FIG. 4B, the metal coated Mylar sheet as gathered on spool 32 is now removed from the chamber 30 and positioned as the feed spool 36 on a printing press structure. The printing process is also a well known technque and a varnish is used to coat the metal with a varnish layer 36. The printing cylinder 37 contains a die surface wherein the varnish is coated over the metal layer 19 leaving holes as 38 and 39 in the lacquer layer 36, which holes are used to provide the hot junction as well as the terminal of the cold junction as apertures 13 and 14 of FIG. 2. The printing of varnish-like lacquers on any surface is well known. During the process depicted in FIG. 4B, the entire metal coating is printed with the varnish or lacquer layer 33 leaving the spaced apart apertures. Hence the processed sheet appears from a top view as shown in FIG. 5B. The hole spacing as between 38 and 39 is about 2 inches with the offset being about 1/8 of an inch. Each aperture 38 and 39 (FIG. 5C) may be a square of 1/16 inch or a rectangle with a 1/16 inch width and 1/8 inch or more in length.
As seen from FIG. 5C, each aperture as 38 and 39 are printed on either side of an imaginery center line 70. The apertures are successively staggered along the length of the coated sheet as shown in FIG. 5C.
FIG. 5D shows a representative cross section depicting apertures 38 and 39 and showing the openings coacting with the metal layer 19.
Referring to FIG. 4C, the varnished printed sheet is now returned to the vacuum chamber 30 where the second metal layer 40 is evaporated in a line pattern as the sheet 33 is moved from spool to spool. A grid mark 41 is disposed in the chamber to force the radiated metal from the evaporation apparatus 34 to deposit on the sheet in a line pattern as shown in FIG. 5E.
The lines of metal 40 cover each of the holes 39 to form a contact Junction or hot junction with the metal layer 19 via the aperture 39. The other apertures as 38 remain exposed to allow contact to the metal layer 19. The metal layer 40 evaporated during this step 4C would be bismuth or tin as opposed to the metal used for layer 19. The cross sectional view of a portion of the structure is depicted in FIG. 5F. The layer 40 is also between 2,000 to 5,000 Angstroms thick and hence is also an extremely thin layer.
The resultant treated sheet after the process depicted in FIG. 4C may be then placed on one feed spool of a liminator 45 as shown in FIG. 4D if required. The treated Mylar sheet 33 is positioned on a feed spool 45, with the other feed spool containing the cardboard support layer as layer 21 of FIG. 1. The treated sheet 33 is then bonded to the cardboard sheet 48 within the laminator 45. Lamination of plastic to paper, cardboard and so on is also a well known technique and various inert adhesives can be employed as hot or cold melt adhesives which are completely non-toxic as those used for stamps, envelopes and so on. The cardboard sheet may be approximately 0.02 inches thick to act as a base or support.
The takeup spool 48 of the laminator collects the processed sheet. The material from spool 48 is then fed into a die cutter apparatus 50 as depicted in FIG. 4E where it is cut to form a plurality of thermocouples as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The above described process enables one to mass produce extremely large quantities of thermocouples for use in measuring temperature. Due to the fact that the netal layers and the substrate are extremely thin, the device has a rapid response time to temperature. The thermocouple is sterilized and packaged separately and is used once for a temperature measurement and then discarded. The resultant structure is less expensive than the plastic tube covering devices of the prior art and is a complete thermocouple. Thus the apparatus eliminates the expensive temperature probe as well as the plastic covering for the probe. Due to the structure, the device responds rapidly to temperature because of the thickness of the thermocouple metal elements and hence provides a rapid readout with associated electronic circuitry.
Referring to FIG. 6, the thermocouple device 10 is shown inserted into a socket 60 associated with an insulated housing 61.
The thermocouple as shown in FIG. 6A has two output leads via the cold junction which are coupled to the input of a high impedance operational amplifier as 70. As can be seen from FIG. 6, there is an internal hollow 62 within the housing. The hollow contains a metal block 63 which may be formed of copper. The block 63 has an aperture on the top surface into which is inserted a heating element 64. Underlying the heating element 64 is a RTD temperature sensor or temperature sensitive resistor 65. The heating element as well as the sensor has output leads which are coupled through appropriate slots in the housing.
Also shown in FIG. 6 is a contact 66. Contact 66 is on of two contacts which are located within the housing and are spaced apart to provide the required contact with the thermocouple terminals as shown in FIG. 3 as 15 and 13. Essentially, as depicted in FIG. 6A, the output of the amplifier 70 is directed to the input of a temperature detection circuit and display.
There are a plethora of circuits as 71 for responding to a change in emf as desired form a thermocouple to provide an output display via an LCD display or other to indicate the temperature as manifested by the change in voltage. In regard to FIG. 6A the heater element as 64 of FIG. 6 is a metal resistor 72. The sensor as 65 operates to provide the variable resistance in response to temperature.
As shown in FIG. 6A, a comparator 80 has one input coupled to the sensor 65 and another input coupled to a source of reference voltage indicated as reference temperature. The compartor 80 may be a digital comparator and serves to compare the sensor temperature 65 with the reference temperature as determined by circuit 81. The output of the comparator controls the application of potential to the heater 72 which then serves to heat or cool the copper block as desired. In this manner, the temperature of the thermocoupled junction can be held very close to the desired measuring temperature such as the temperature of the human body. Hence the circuit need only respond to a small temperature differential to obtain accurate temperature reading by using the thermocouple of the invention.
It is, of course, a major factor that the above described application discloses a simple and inexpensive thermocouple which can be mass-produced in large quantities and which device is simple to use and disposable to allow an increased savings in time and money when implementing body temperature measurements.
This allows wide variations in EMF to be acceptable which allows higher yield and lower manufacturing costs. For example, if a 25� F. temperature differential exists without a heater and a 25� F. variation exists with a heater, the acceptable tolerance of variations in EMF is increased by a factor of ten.

|1969 (banned)
|Split from
Kenya People's Union was a socialist political party in Kenya led by Oginga Odinga. The party was banned in 1969.
In March 1966 a left-wing faction of the governing Kenya African National Union (KANU) instigated a mass defection from the party and formed the KPU.[1] KANU responded by amending Kenya's constitution to force a 'little general election' in which KPU was only able to win parliamentary seats among the Luo people in Nyanza province, whereas its candidates in then Kikuyu-dominated Central province were trounced by KANU.[2] There followed three years of political harassment and detention of party leaders that finally brought about the end of the party when the New Nyanza General Hospital was opened on October 25, 1969. The president Jomo Kenyatta was not excited about the hospital, since it was built with Soviet money and seen as Odinga's project. Kenyatta did, however, lead the opening ceremonies of the hospital to boost his popularity in Nyanza Province. The Luo's were generally hostile towards as Tom Mboya had been murdered few months earlier, with many fingers pointing at Kenyatta. Riots opened at the opening ceremonies, when KPU supporters attacked Kenyatta's entourage. Over 10 people were killed as Kenyatta's security personnel opened a fire against the demonstrators. Odinga and several other KPU officials were arrested two days after the incident. KPU was banned on October 30, 1969, transforming Kenya into a de facto one-party state.[3]

Mo Yan: Chronicler of a turbulent Chinese century
Published on Oct 11, 2012 7:25 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - Mo Yan has focused an unflinching eye on what he calls the darkness and ugliness of 20th-century Chinese society in a prolific writing career that on Thursday landed him the 2012 Nobel prize for literature.
Mo Yan, one of China's leading writers of the past half-century, became the first Chinese national and just the second Chinese-language writer to be awarded the coveted prize.
The 57-year-old, whose real name is Guan Moye, is perhaps best-known abroad for his 1987 novella Red Sorghum, a tale of the brutal violence that plagued the eastern China countryside - where he grew up - during the 1920s and 30s.
The story was later made into an acclaimed film by leading Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

The Delaware Copper Mine is a fun walk. Be prepared for a change in weather. On warm summer days, the mine is constantly in the low 50's. If it were open in midwinter, you'd walk from the minus above ground into a mine in the low 50's. Talk about a heat wave. The mine is a self guiding walk. It's well marked and railings keep the kids out of danger. You walk from shaft #1 past shaft #2 and end at shaft #3. You have to go back to where you came in. It's a short 1/2 hour or take your time. Signs point out the stopes where the cooper was removed, the mine tracks (mini railroad) is still evident through-out the tunnels. The lower part of the mine is flood. I've been told the water insures that there will be no tunnel collapses and is intentional.
Don't forget to take a walk around outside. On the surface is the old hoist building at shaft #2, mine trucks (mini-rail cars), a petting zoo and other artifacts from the mining period.Related to:

Do You Have Dependent Family Members Who Have Disabilities?
Did you know that naming an individual with disabilities in your will could cause him or her to lose Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits?
Governmental assistance benefits also are in jeopardy if the individual with disabilities receives a lump sum of money, such as from a personal injury settlement, back payment from Social Security or even lottery winnings.
Thanks to The Disability Foundation, a supporting organization of The Dayton Foundation, you can help ensure a good quality of life for your disabled loved one and not have to make the difficult decision to disinherit him or her or risk jeopardizing important entitlements.
The Disability Foundation administers the Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust, a safe and affordable planning option for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Through the Trust, a parent, grandparent, legal guardian or an individual with disabilities can establish an account that will provide a lifetime plan of payments to support an individual's supplemental needs, without risking Medicaid or SSI benefits.
By contributing cash or other assets into the Trust, a charitable gift annuity is created for the benefit of the individual with disabilities. The annuity generates a lifetime plan of fixed, monthly payments, which are deposited into a spending account. The money in the account can be spent quarterly or accumulated for a future activity.
While the Trust cannot be used for an individual's basic necessities (i.e., food, clothing or shelter), it can provide for the "extras" in life, such as travel, hobbies, pets, recreation, or medical equipment and services not covered by Medicaid.
Assets held in the Trust are not counted for Medicaid or SSI purposes, so long as the monthly payments are used for the individual's supplemental needs. The monthly payment amount is calculated when the account is funded and is based upon the value of the assets transferred, the age of the individual with disabilities and charitable gift annuity rates at that time.
By designating a personal representative to oversee the account, a family has peace of mind that their loved one's best interests are being looked after now and in the future.
An account can be established in the Trust to supplement the individual's needs immediately, or it can be deferred and funded through an estate plan.
Best of all, there is no initial fee for establishing an account, and no annual maintenance fees are charged. Plus, each account is considered a general obligation of The Dayton Foundation, and all payments are backed by the assets of both The Dayton Foundation and The Disability Foundation.
For more information, please visit The Disability Foundation website at www.disability-foundation.org.
To illustrate how The Disability Foundation can help families provide for the future care and happiness of their loved ones with disabilities, take a look at these two examples:
Example #1
Transferring a disabled individual's inheritance to help him pursue his hobbies and, one day, take the trip of his dreams
Example #2
Establishing a deferred charitable gift annuity to continue a child's favorite activities, long after her parents have passed away

Law officers spend anxious moments as case was posted wrongly before single judge
The Madras High Court Bench here on Friday refused to extend the stay granted by it on the enquiry initiated by Madurai Collector U. Sagayam against M.K. Alagiri Educational Trust, of which Union Minister M.K. Alagiri was one of the trustees, on charges of having destroyed irrigation channels for constructing Dhaya Engineering College at Sivarakottai near here.
Justice K. Venkataraman refused to extend the stay on the ground that on Thursday itself he had referred the writ petition filed by the trust to be posted along with a Public Interest Litigation petition pending before a Division Bench and hence it would be practically impossible for him to pass further orders. "I have washed my hands of. You have to mention it before a Division Bench," he told the petitioner's counsel.
When the writ petition challenging a show cause notice issued by the Collector came up before the judge on Thursday, he extended the stay, originally granted by him on April 20, until Friday when the PIL petition, filed by the leader of a farmers' association against the trust, was expected to be listed for hearing before a Division Bench of Justice R. Banumathi and Justice B. Rajendran.
However, the Division Bench was not constituted on Friday as Ms. Justice Banumathi had flown to the Principal Seat in Chennai on official work. The case was not listed even before another Division Bench comprising Justices S. Rajeswaran and M. Vijayaraghavan as it took up only fresh PIL petitions that came up for admission for the first time and not those that were pending already.
Curiously, the case was listed before Mr. Justice Venkataraman on Friday too giving some anxious moments to the law officers who were perplexed as to how could a case that was ordered to be posted before a Division Bench was listed before the same judge on the next day too. But relieving them of the anxiety, the judge himself clarified that he would not take up the case.
In the meantime, the counsel for the trust Veera Kathiravan and R. Janakiramulu requested the Division Bench presided over by Mr. Justice Rajeswaran to take up the PIL as well as the writ petition on Friday. When the judges expressed their inability to hear the case on the same day, the counsel obtained an order to post both the cases on the first summer vacation court on May 3.

Rep Power:
Kac... Well congrats on making the big decision. First thing I would suggest is to search on bluewater boats here and read the already existing threads as a lot of what you ask has been discussed quite thoroughly. After that you may have more pointed questions to ask.
Here's a list of one guys take on what are "bluewater" boats worth considering which can give you some models to look at on Yachtworld.com so you can see what is appealing to you.
It is not comprehensive...and leaves out Tayana entirely (which I of course disagree with since the 37 is a classic world cruiser) but it is a starting point.
How big a boat are you considering and what is your maximum price range? Will you be single-handing or having crew? Are you looking for new, slightly used or very used? Here's a couple of very brief answers to some of your basic questions:
Masthead rig means the jib/jenny is rigged to the top of the mast vs. a fractional rig where it is rigged lower and has less sail area. Typically mainsails are bigger on fractional rigs and the mast is a bit more forward than on a masthead rig where the jib is both more powerful and harder to handle do to size.
Displacement is a measure of the weight of the water the boat displaces and tells you relatively little about the performance as a 20000 lb displacement can come from anywhere on the boat...from the masthead to the keel...but that is still how much weight the wind will have to move. Many blue-water sailors prefer heavily built high displacement boats but new materials and production techniques have some opting for lighter, more easily driven boats that are nonetheless seaworthy.
A cutter is a boat with two headsails..see my picture above of a cutter rigged ketch!
Keels go from full to cutaway forefoot to fin, to bulb to wing to centerboard. Full or cutaway forefoot keels tend to be found on heavy displacement traditional boats. They track straight and have little leeway and offer protection to the rudder and prop. They tend to be pigs for docking manoeverability and backing up. Fin keels are found on the majority of boats today as they are quicker and more manoeverable and still can provide lots of ballast to keep the boat stiff and upright. Sometimes the fins have wings on them to allow a more shallow draft and still keep the weight low but wing keels tend to get stuck harder around when you do find shallow water as we all do! Bulb keels put all the weight down deep but are generally more suceptible to damage and typically found on racer/cruisers.
Combined with these keels are either spade rudders which are fast and help manoueverability as they are a "blade on a post" but they are more prone to damage since they hang freely. Skeg hung rudders are less quick but are supported in multiple places by the hanging skeg part of the hull which also protects them.
Contruction of hulls in "fiberglass" is a huge subject since both quality of construction methods and advanced construction materials exist today. So...I will just say for now that the biggest differences people focus on are the use of "chopped spray on fiberglass" vs. hand laid up glass mat, and cored hulls (which are esstentially a sandwich of balsa or foam between two fiberglass skins). Cored hulls MAY be light, fast and strong AND may be used just above the waterline or on the entire hull. You can see the debates on this on other threads...but the big risk of cored is water intrusion between the layers and delamination as a result.
OK...go read and come back with more questions!

ASCC: Stunning Success of Super-Premium Brands Illustrates Big Growth in Vodka Market Business Wire MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. -- April 04, 2013 As the Aristocrat Group Corp. (OTCBB: ASCC) readies its new super-premium vodka for the U.S. marketplace, conditions couldn't be better: The category led growth in the booming $5.5 billion vodka market last year, up 10 percent in volume. In 2012, 6.3 million 9-liter cases of super-premium vodka brands were sold in the U.S., up from 5.7 million in 2011 and 1.9 million a decade ago, according to figures compiled by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS). That makes the high-quality spirits by far the best-performing category in the vodka market, which itself has grown to 65.2 million cases sold last year from 41.9 million in 2003. "The incredible growth in the super-premium vodka category reflects the fact that Americans value quality in their vodkas and want to drink better than in the past," said ASCC CEO Robert Federowicz. "Our debut ultra-premium vodka is going to be squarely aimed at this growing group of vodka connoisseurs and mixologists who have very exacting standards for the distilled spirits they buy and consume." ASCC's debut vodka will be distilled in the USA by Distilled Resources, Inc. (DRinc), which produces neutral spirits using quality ingredients including Idaho russet potatoes, organic grains and Idaho winter wheat. The vodka will be branded and sold by the ASCC's brand management division, Luxuria Brands. ASCC sees vodka, America's best-selling spirit, as the key element to growing its brand management division, Luxuria Brands. The success of the endeavor will allow the company to compete in a highly profitable sector alongside Limited Brands, Inc. (NYSE: LTD), Proctor & Gamble (NYSE: PG), New York & Company, Inc. (NYSE: NWY) and Chico's FAS, Inc. (NYSE: CHS). For more information on this initiative, please visitwww.luxuriabrands.com/investors.html. About the Aristocrat Group Corp. Through its brand management division, Aristocrat Brands, the Aristocrat Group Corp. is on the path to becoming a provider of premiere luxury goods, including top-shelf distilled spirits.

Using the 1" putty, push in on the 2 clips holding the top of the washer. Lift top, exposing the top of tub. Remove old rubber seal from top edge of tub. To ease installation of new seal, stretch it over the edge of tub which tensions it, then start tucking the outer lip along the outside edge, tilting the seal towards the outside edge until the seal is completely in its groove all around. I had to hold down on the seal to keep it from rolling off while I lowered the top back down. When the lid is down, push hard to engage the 2 clips that lock it down.

The Supreme Court on Friday quashed the bail granted to Pune-based stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan by the Bombay High Court in a money laundering case.
The Supreme Court on Friday set aside a Bombay High Court order of August 12 that granted bail to Hasan Ali Khan, detained under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and other laws.
On August 16, A Bench of Justices Altamas Kabir and S.S. Nijjar, acting on an appeal from the Union of India, suspended the operation of the order. Consequently, Hasan Ali was not released on bail. Allowing the appeal, the Bench said the High Court order should be interfered with and cancelled his bail.
The Bench agreed with the Centre's submissions that Hasan Ali had huge funds in his accounts to the extent of $ 800 million with a bank outside India and various transactions through his foreign bank accounts revealed his association with international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.
The Court agreed that the facts and documents revealed a chronological depiction of money laundering activities of Hasan Ali and maintenance of foreign accounts and huge foreign exchange transactions.
The Bench did not agree with the contention on behalf of Hasan Ali that most of the transactions, "which are the subject matter of the case, have taken place before coming into force of the PML Act. They could not be the subject matter of prosecution for the offence punishable under the PML Act."
