The present application is a continuation of and claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/570,268, filed May 12, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,574,515, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to process devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to field-mounted process control and measurement devices.
Process devices are used to measure and control industrial processes such as the refining of petrochemicals, the processing of food, the generation of electric power, and a number of other processes. Process measurement devices include process variable transmitters, which measure a process variable such as pressure or temperature and communicate the measured variable to a process controller. Another type of process device is an actuator, such as a valve controller or the like. Generally, process control is accomplished using a combination of transmitters, actuators, and a process controller that communicate across a process control loop to a controller. Both types of process devices interact with the physical process through process interface elements. Process interface elements are devices which relate electrical signals to physical process conditions, and include devices such as sensors, limit switches, valve controllers, heaters, motor controllers, and a number of other devices.
The process controller is typically a microcomputer located in a control room away from the process. The process controller can receive process information from one or more process measurement devices and apply a suitable control signal to one or more process control devices to influence the process and thereby control it.
In order to couple to the process, transmitters and actuators are generally mounted near the process in the field. Such physical proximity can subject the process devices to an array of environmental challenges. For example, process devices are often subjected to temperature extremes, vibration, corrosive and/or flammable environments, and electrical noise. In order to withstand such conditions, process devices are designed specifically for "field-mounting." Such field-mounted devices utilize robust enclosures, which can be designed to be explosion-proof. Further, field-mounted process devices can also be designed with circuitry that is said to be "intrinsically safe", which means that even under fault conditions, the circuitry will generally not contain enough electrical energy to generate a spark or a surface temperature that can cause an explosion in the presence of an hazardous atmosphere.
Further still, electrical isolation techniques are usually employed to reduce the effects of electrical noise. These are just a few examples of design considerations, which distinguish field-mounted process devices from other devices, which measure sensor characteristics and provide data indicative of such characteristics.
Aside from the environmental considerations listed above, another challenge for field-mounted devices is that of wiring. Since process devices are located near the process far from the control room, long wire runs are often required to couple such devices to the control room. These long runs are costly to install and difficult to maintain.
One way to reduce the requisite wiring is by using two-wire process devices. These devices couple to the control room using a two-wire process control loop. Two-wire devices receive power from the process control loop, and communicate over the process control loop in a manner that is generally unaffected by the provision of power to the process device. Techniques for communicating over two-wires include 4-20 mA signaling, the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART�) Protocol, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, Profibus-PA and others. Although two-wire process control systems provide wiring simplification, such systems provide a limited amount of electrical power to connected devices. For example, a device that communicates in accordance with 4-20 mA signaling must draw no more than 4 mA otherwise the device's current consumption would affect the process variable. The frugal power budget of two-wire process devices has traditionally limited the functionality that could be provided.
Another way the process control industry has reduced field wiring is by providing transmitters with two sensor inputs. Such transmitters reduce the number of transmitters/sensor and thereby reduce wiring costs as well as overall system costs. One example of such a transmitter is the Model 3244MV Multivariable Temperature Transmitter, available from Rosemount Inc., of Eden Prairie, Minn.
Although current multivariable transmitters can reduce wiring costs as well as overall system costs, they have traditionally been limited to applications involving two sensors. Thus, in applications with sixteen sensors, for example, eight multivariable transmitters would still be required. Further, if different sensor groups are independently grounded, there is a possibility that ground loop errors could occur and adversely affect process measurement.
Current methods used to overcome the problem of coupling a large number of sensors to the control room include coupling the sensors directly to the control room. For example, if a situation requires a large number of temperature sensors, consumers generally; create "direct run" thermocouple configurations where thermocouple wire spans the distance between the measurement "point" and the control room. These direct run configurations are generally less expensive than the cost of obtaining a number of single or dual sensor transmitters, however, a significant wiring effort is required, and process measurement is rendered more susceptible to electrical noise due to the long runs.
The process control industry has also reduced the effects of long wire runs on process control by providing field-mounted devices that are capable of performing control functions. Thus, some aspects of process control are transferred into the field, thereby providing quicker response time, less reliance upon the main process controller, and greater flexibility. Further information regarding such control functions in a field-mounted device can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,825,664 to Warrior et al, entitled FIELD-MOUNTED CONTROL UNIT, assigned to Rosemount Incorporated.
Although multivariable transmitters and process devices implementing control functions have advanced the art of process control, there is still a need to accommodate applications requiring a relatively large number of sensors, as well as applications requiring enhanced control in the field.
A two-wire field-mounted process device is provided. In one embodiment, the process device includes multiple isolated channels includes a channel that can be an input channel or an output channel. The given input or output channel can couple to multiple sensors or actuators, respectively. The process device is wholly powered by the two-wire process control loop. The process device includes a controller adapted to measure one or more characteristics of sensors coupled to an input channel and to control actuators coupled to an output channel. The process device also includes a loop communicator that is adapted to communicate over the two-wire loop. In another embodiment, the two-wire field-mounted process device includes a controller that is adapted to execute a user generated control algorithm relating process input information with process output commands. The process device of this embodiment also includes a loop communicator that is adapted to communicate over the two-wire loop.

FIG. 2 is a system block diagram of the process device shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a system block diagram of a method of providing a process variable with a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a system block diagram of a method of operating a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
A two-wire field mountable process device 16 shown in FIG. 1 is provided which can be adapted to execute sophisticated user generated control algorithms, much like those used with traditional programmable logic controllers. Embodiments can include input channels, output channels, and any combination of the two. Generally, each channel is isolated from the remainder of the process device. Such isolation removes ground loop errors that currently limit multiple input transmitters. Finally, power management is such that embodiments of the present invention are wholly powered by a two-wire process loop 14. These and other features will become apparent upon review of the figures and the related description provided below.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of process control system 10 which includes control room 12, process control loop 14 and process device 16. Process control system can comprise a single process device coupled to control room 12, however system 10 can also include hundreds of process devices coupled to one or more control rooms over a number of process control loops.
Control room 12 is typically a facility located away from device 16 that includes a microcomputer. A user stationed in control room 12 uses the microcomputer to interact with various process devices through process control loop 14 and thus controls the process(es) from the control room. For clarity, control room 12 is illustrated as a single block. However, in some control system embodiments, control room 12 may in fact couple process control loop 14 to a global computer network, such as the internet, so that users worldwide could access process device 16 from traditional web browser software.
Loop 14 is a two-wire process control loop. A number of two-wire process communication protocols exist for communicating on loop 14, and any suitable protocol can be used. For example, the HART� protocol, the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus protocol, and the Profibus-PA protocol can be used with embodiments of the present invention. Loop 14 provides power to connected process devices while providing communication between the various devices.
Process device 16 includes cover 17 and base 19 which are preferably constructed from a suitable plastic material. Base 19 is adapted to mate with an industry standard DIN rail for mounting. As will be described in more detail, device 16 is adapted to operate solely upon electrical power received through loop 14, and is adapted for field-mounting. Thus, device 16 is configured to withstand a relatively large temperature range (such as −40 to 85 deg. C.), mechanical vibrations, and relative humidity in excess of 90%. Such environmental resistance is effected primarily through the selection of robust components, as will be described later in the specification. Optional enclosure 18 (shown in phantom) provides added durability and can be any known enclosure such as a National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure, or an explosion-proof enclosure. The process device embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a number of inputs and outputs, and includes suitable computing circuitry (shown in FIG. 2) to execute a user generated control algorithm. The algorithm is comprised of a number of logic statements relating specific input events to outputs controlled by device 16. The user can change the algorithm either by interfacing locally with device 16, or by communicating with device 16 over control loop 14. The algorithm can be generated using conventional logic generation software such as Relay Ladder Logic and Sequential Function Charts (SFC's). In this sense, device 16 can be considered a two-wire field-mountable programmable logic controller. Although the description will focus upon the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, such description is provided for clarity, since embodiments employing solely inputs, or outputs are expressly contemplated. Traditionally devices with the computational power of device 16 could not be operated upon two-wire process control loops due to prohibitive power constraints.
Process device 16 is coupled to sensors 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 as well as actuators 32 and 34. Sensors 20, 22 and 24 are thermocouples, of known type, which are coupled to various process points to provide voltage signals based upon process variables at the respective process points. Resistance Temperature Devices (RTD's) 26, 28 and 30 are also coupled to various process points and provide a resistance that is based upon process temperature at the respective process points. RTD 26 is coupled to device 16 through a known three-wire connection and illustrates that various wiring configurations can be used with embodiments of the present invention. Actuators 32 and 34 are coupled to process device 16 and actuate suitable valves, switches and the like based upon control signals from device 16. As noted above, device 16 can execute a user generated control algorithm to relate specific input conditions to specific output commands. For example, device 16 may sense a process fluid temperature, and cause actuator 32 to engage a heater coupled to the process fluid in order to maintain the fluid temperature at a selected level.
FIG. 2 is a system block diagram of device 16 shown in FIG. 1. Device 16 includes loop communicator 36, power module 38, controller 40, and channels 42, 44, 46, 48, and memory 52. Loop communicator 36 is coupled to process control loop 14 and is adapted for bi-directional data communication over loop 14. Loop communicator 36 can include a known communication device such as a traditional FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus communication controller or the like. Additionally, communicator 36 can include suitable isolation circuitry to facilitate compliance with the intrinsic safety specification as set forth in the Factory Mutual Approval Standard entitled "Intrinsically Safe Apparatus and Associated Apparatus for Use in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 Hazardous (Classified) Locations," Class Number 3610, published October 1988.
Power module 38 is coupled to loop 14 such that power module 38 provides power to all components of device 16 based upon power received from loop 14. Although power module 38 has a single arrow 50 indicating that power module 38 provides power to all components, it is noted that such power can be provided at multiple voltages. For example, power module 38 preferably includes a switching power supply that provides electrical power at a plurality of voltages. Thus, some components such as the A/D converters and the isolators can receive a higher voltage such as 4.9 volts, while low-power components such the controller 40, memory 52 and loop communicator 36 receive a lower voltage such as 3.0 volts. Additionally, power module 38 is preferably programmable to such an extent that at least one of the voltages provided can be varied. The selectable nature of power module 38 facilitates power management, which will be described later in the specification.
Controller 40 is coupled to memory 52 and executes program instructions stored therein. Memory 52 is preferably low-power memory operating on 3.0 volts, such as the model LRS1331, available from Sharp Electronics. Additionally, memory 52 can be "stacked" memory in which both flash memory and volatile memory are provided on a single memory module. The user generated control algorithm, or "program" executed by controller 40 can be changed by a user either by coupling to device 16 locally, or by accessing device 16 through loop 14. In some embodiments the program includes instructions that relate process event inputs to outputs determined by controller 40. In this sense, device 16 functions similarly to a programmable logic controller, which is a device that typically has not been robust enough for field-mounting, nor able to operate on the low power levels of two-wire field devices. However, by so providing the functions of a programmable logic controller, much more sophisticated process control algorithms can be implemented through a user friendly interface, such as Relay Ladder Logic or the like.
Controller 40 receives power from module 38, and communicates with loop communicator 36. Controller 40 preferably includes a low-power microprocessor such as the model MMC 2075 microprocessor available from Motorola Inc. of Schaumburg, Ill. Additionally, controller 40 preferably has a selectable internal clock rate such that the clock rate of controller 40, and thus the computing speed and power consumption, can be selected through suitable commands sent to device 16 over loop 14. Since higher clock speeds will cause controller 40 to draw more power, clock selection of controller 40, and selection of the voltage level provided by power module 38 to controller 40 are preferably performed in tandem. In this manner the processing speed and power consumption of device 16 are selectable and vary together.
Controller 40 is coupled to the various channels through interface bus 54, which is preferably a serial bus designed for high speed data communication such as a Synchronous Peripheral Interface (SPI). Channels 42, 44, 46 and 48 are coupled to bus 54 through communication isolators 56, 58, 60 and 62, respectively, which are preferably known optoisolators, but which can be any suitable isolation devices such as transformers or capacitors. In some embodiments, channels 42, 44, 46 and 48 provide data in parallel form, and parallel-serial converters 64 are used to translate the data between serial and parallel forms. Preferably, converters 64 are Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UART's).
Channel 42 is coupled to controller 40, and includes sensor terminals 1-n, multiplexer (MUX) 66, analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 68, communication isolator 56, and power isolator 70. It is contemplated that communication isolator 56 and power isolator 70 can be combined in a single circuit. Channel 42 is specifically adapted to measure a specific sensor type such as thermocouples, resistance temperature devices, strain gauges, pressure sensors, or other sensor type. Each sensor terminal is adapted to couple a single sensor, such as a thermocouple, to multiplexer 66. Multiplexer 66 selectively couples one of the sensors to A/D converter 68 such that a characteristic of the sensor (voltage for a thermocouple) is measured and communicated to controller 40 through isolator 56 and UART 64. Power for channel 42 is received from power module 38 through power isolator 70. Power isolator 70 is preferably a transformer, but can be any suitable device. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that communication isolator 56 and power isolator 70 cooperate to ensure that channel 42 is electrically isolated from the rest of device 16.
Channel 44 is similar to channel 42, and like components are numbered similarly. Channel 44 can be configured to measure sensors of a different type than that of channel 42. For example, in one embodiment, channel 42 is configured to measure the voltage of thermocouples, and channel 44 is configured to measure the resistance of RTD's. Each sensor terminal in channel 44 is thus configured to couple to an RTD in a two, three, or four-wire (Kelvin) connection. Because channels 42 and 44 are each electrically isolated from the rest of device 16, coupling a first independently grounded sensor to channel 42, and a second independently grounded sensor to channel 44 does not result in the generation of undesirable ground loop errors. Additionally, since each channel can be configured for a specific type of sensor, which can be optimized for a specific application, parameters such as A/D precision and conversion rate can be tailored for the specific sensor type. For example, a channel designed for high-precision may employ an A/D converter of configured to provide a very high accuracy having a relatively slower conversion time. Conversely, a channel designed for sensors that measure a process variable that can changes quickly can employ a lower precision high speed A/D converter. Essentially, any sensor input can be switched between operation with resistance-type sensors to operation with voltage-type sensors based upon configuration information received from controller 40. Controller 40 can provide the configuration information based upon information received over loop 14, or through a local input (not shown). Additionally, controller 40 can provide configuration information to the channels to adjust analog-to-digital sampling rates for each channel, or even for each sensor. This is particularly advantageous where sensor rates of change are anticipated based upon information known about the process.
Channel 46 is similar to channels 42 and 44, however since channel 46 is configured to receive digital inputs, it does not include an analog-to-digital converter. As illustrated, inputs 1-n are coupled to multiplexer 66 which conveys the signal of a selected input to bus 54 through communication isolator 60 and UART 64. In some digital input embodiments, the input level may be such that the digital inputs could be provided directly to UART 64 through isolator 60. Digital inputs are generally indicative of logic-type signals such as contact closure in limit switches as the like. However, digital inputs 1-n can also be coupled to digital outputs of other process devices such that the inputs represent logic signals such as alarms or other Boolean type signals.
Channel 48 is similar to channel 46, but essentially operates in reverse compared to channel 46. Thus, serial information sent to channel 48 through the UART is converted into parallel form, and conveyed across communication isolator 62 to set individual actuator outputs. Thus, logic signals are sent to the terminals labeled ACTUATOR 1-n to cause actuators coupled to such terminals (not shown) to engage or disengage as desired. Such actuators can be any suitable device such as valve controllers, heaters, motor controllers and any other suitable device. Essentially, any device that is addressable based upon a logic type output is an actuator.
FIG. 3 is a system block diagram of a method of providing a process variable with a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The method begins at block 80 where a field-mountable process device is wholly powered by a two-wire process control loop. At block 82, the process device is coupled to a first sensor through a first isolated input channel. A sensor signal is acquired through the first isolated input channel, which signal is indicative of a process variable. At block 84, the process device is coupled to a second sensor through a second isolated input channel in order to acquire a second sensor signal. Since the first and second input channels are isolated, independent grounding of the first and second sensors will not cause undesirable ground loop errors. At block 86, the process device computes a process variable based upon one or both of the sensor signals. Moreover, although the method is described with respect to two sensors, a number of additional sensors could be used such that the process variable would be a function of any number of sensor signals. For example, the process device could average the values of the sensor, provide their difference, standard deviation, or any other appropriate function. At block 88, the computed process device is output. Such output can be in the form of information sent over the process control loop, a local display, or a local output effected through an output channel.
FIG. 4 is a system block diagram of a method of operating a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. At block 80, the device is wholly powered by the two-wire process control loop. At block 92, the device receives an input. Such input can be in the form of signals received through input channels, such as the multiple isolated input channels described above, in the form of process information received through the two-wire process control loop, in the form of a local input, or any combination of input signals and information. At block 94, the device executes user-programmable logic to relate the input information to one or more process outputs. The user-programmable logic can be simple or complex algorithms such as ladder logic, SFC's, fuzzy logic, Adaptive Control, or neural networks and the like. At block 96, the device provides the output determined via operation of the user-programmable logic. The output can be a local output, either digital or analog, or the output can be sent as information over the two-wire process control loop.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to embodiments of two-wire process device having four channels, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which are defined by the appended claims. For example, although various modules have been illustrated and described separately, it is expressly contemplated that some such modules can be physically embodied together, such as on an Application Specific Integrated Circuit. Further, although controller 40 is described as a single module, its functions can be distributed upon multiple microprocessors such that one microprocessor could provide low-level I/O interaction, such as calibration, linearization and the like, while a second microprocessor executes the user-generated control algorithm. Additionally, although the description has focussed upon inputs and outputs being provided through the disclosed channels, it is expressly contemplated that some process inputs or process outputs could be communicated from/to other process devices through the process control loop.

460 candidates in fray after withdrawal of nominations
Aspirants burn effigies of leaders 474 withdraw from contest on last day
VISAKHAPATNAM: Dissidents continue to give sleepless nights to the leadership of the Congress and Telugu Desam Party as the last date for withdrawal ended on Tuesday.
At several places, disappointed at denial of B forms, the aspirants burnt effigies of their leaders.
Meka Satyavathi, a TDP aspirant, staged a dharna in front of the TDP's Pandimetta office. Supporters of Sridhar, a Congress aspirant, half-tonsured their heads at NAD Kotha Road in protest against denial of ticket to their leader.
M. Pola Rao, a Congress aspirant, protested against allotment of ticket to G.V. Ravi Raju and continued his fast at Gurudwara junction. Seripalli Radha, who was upset over denial of ticket of her after clearing her candidature by the local leadership, and her supporters burnt the effigy of Visakha-II MLA S. Rangaraju.
In the Opposition camp, the fight for one-upmanship continued among the former Minister Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu and his friend-turned-foe Chodavaram MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao. Mr. Patrudu who opposed the nomination in half a dozen divisions, is in Hyderabad to depose before the three-member panel set up by party president N. Chandrababu Naidu to look into the charges made by him.
The TDP local unit is divided into two camps, one owing allegiance to Mr. Patrudu and the other led by Mr. Srinivasa Rao. However, party sources said due to importance of the poll outcome, the high command would try to patch up differences between the two groups. Meanwhile, 460 candidates remained in the fray for the 72 divisions in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation elections scheduled to be held on February 19. On the last day for withdrawal of nominations on Tuesday, 474 withdrew from contest. The maximum number of candidates- 12 each- are in fray for Divisions 3, 35, 50 and 60 while the minimum- 3 each- are contesting from 14, 29, 46, 58,69 and 70.
Till late in the night on Tuesday, compilation of ward-wise contestants was going on. CPI(M) fielded 14 candidates in alliance with TDP while in Division 9 both the parties had decided to back an independent. The BJP is contesting in 48 wards whereas the CPI is contesting in five wards in alliance with the Congress.
The following is the number of contestants zone-wise: Zone- I (Ward 1 to 6): 50; Zone II (7 to 18): 76; Zone III (19 to 30): 77; Zone IV (31 to 49): 116; Zone V (50 to 65): 110 and Zone VI (66 to 72): 31.
There were some last-minute changes in Congress and TDP. The Congress reportedly finalised the name of P. Chinna Rao for Division 19, J. Appalaraju for Ward 3 and Sinka for Ward 31 though there was no confirmation from the party.

In the new Chesapeake Bay Agreement - guidance document extraordinaire for Bay restoration - decision makers excluded the term climate change from the draft. What's worse, the draft of the agreement also fails to mention concrete goals for addressing climate impacts on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Tell our decision makers to include climate change in the Chesapeake Bay Agreement!
Dear [Decision Maker],
I urge you to include climate change in the new Chesapeake Bay Agreement. The Chesapeake Bay is particularly sensitive to the impacts from climate change. Water temperatures have increased by 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the 1960s. In the last century, Bay water levels have risen by more than a foot. About a dozen islands have vanished. Others have been evacuated. Thousands of acres of shoreline marshes have been eroded away. The Chesapeake Bay is already degraded by development and agriculture, but the growing effects of climate change are making Chesapeake Bay restoration even more daunting.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

PUTRAJAYA: Judges must always bear in mind the justice of a case when deciding to grant postponement of a trial or to enter judgment in the absence of a party, Justice Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said Thursday.
The Federal Court judge, who will be retiring next Tuesday, said there must be good grounds for postponing a trial or for setting aside a judgment obtained by reason of the absence of a party or its counsel during a trial.
"That is not to say that a trial ought never to be postponed or that a judgment entered in the absence of a party ought never to be set aside. Each court case depends on its own facts. We cannot over-emphasise that justice is too precious a commodity to be sacrificed at the altar of expediency," he said.
Sri Ram said judicial arbiters were working very hard to clear the backlog of cases and they must aim for a trial to take place a few months and not several years after the commencement of the action and counsel on all sides must cooperate to achieve that.
He said this in his seven-page grounds of judgment in a dispute between the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) and 354 Felda Kemahang settlers in Tanah Merah, Kelantan over payments for palm oil fruits.
Sri Ram: "We think it is safe to say that gone are the days when the absence of a solicitor or counsel or a party on the hearing dates will be looked upon with leniency."
Sri Ram, 66, is well-known for giving on-the-spot oral judgments and landmark judgments relating to public, contract, and industrial law. He was Court of Appeal judge for 15 years before being elevated to the Federal Court last year.
He has the distinction of being the first lawyer in private practice to be appointed straight to the Court of Appeal when it was set up in 1994. He never served as a judicial commissioner or a High Court judge.
In the case, the Federal Court comprising Chief Justice Tun Zaki Azmi, Federal Court judge Datuk Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin and Sri Ram on Jan 19 denied Felda leave to appeal against the Kota Baru High Court's decision ordering the agency to pay RM7.8mil in damages and interest to the settlers.
The High Court had awarded the sum to the settlers after hearing their claim without Felda's lawyer, who did not turn up, and decided in their favour after accepting the evidence of their witnesses. The amount has since increased to RM11mil.
The matter is now pending review under Rule 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court. The Federal Court on Wednesday granted Felda a stay order of the High Court's decision pending disposal of its review application.
The settlers brought the suit against Felda in 2002 seeking between RM20,000 and RM30,000 each in general damages as they alleged that the agency had understated the quality of their oil palm fruits from 1996 to 2002, which caused them to suffer losses.
In the judgment dated Jan 22, which was made available to the media today, Sri Ram said the High Court judge had correctly used his discretion to proceed with the trial without the presence of Felda's lawyers and subsequently accepting the evidence of the settlers' witnesses and awarding the damages to the settlers.
"There is material placed before us that shows that the applicants' (Felda) solicitors were aware of the hearing date. In fact, solicitors for the respondents (settlers) took the unusual but cautious step of writing to the applicants' solicitors reminding them of the trial date.
"Despite this, neither counsel nor solicitors for the applicants appeared before the High Court on the morning of the trial," Sri Ram said.
In the grounds of judgment, Sri Ram also reiterated that only on rare cases such as in this particular case, would the Federal Court give its reasons for granting or refusing leave. -- Bernama

Fabulous! Results were exactly as the doctor predicted they would be and got better over time. A younger and more fresh appearance - and not a jump-out-at-you type change.

Key deadline arrives for future of St. Louis Rams
ST. LOUIS A key deadline arrived Wednesday in the effort to keep the NFL in St. Louis.
The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission was due to give the St. Louis Rams its plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome, a key step in whether the franchise stays put.
Details about the plan have not been released. Donna Andrews, a spokeswoman for the CVC, declined comment. Officials with the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County also declined comment. Team spokesman Artis Twyman said the proposal was expected to arrive later in the day.
The Rams will have until March 1 to accept or reject the offer. They can also make a counterproposal. Arbitration would begin June 15 if no agreement is reached, and the arbitration process could last through the end of the year.
Public money built the dome, which opened in 1995, the year the Rams relocated to St. Louis from Los Angeles. It was financed largely with $256 million in revenue bonds, a debt that is being paid back with $24 million annually in tax money - $12 million from the state of Missouri and $6 million each from St. Louis city and county.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the Rams pay $500,000 each year to use the dome - $250,000 in rent and $250,000 for reimbursement to CVC for game-day expenses. The team gets to keep box office receipts, most advertising revenue, net game-day concession proceeds, and some concession proceeds sold for non-football events. The lease also allows use of Rams Park, the practice facility in St. Louis County.
But the 30-year lease that runs through 2025 also requires that the dome remain among the "top tier," or top eight, of the 32 NFL teams measured by various criteria. Critics contend it would be virtually impossible to bring the 17-year-old stadium to that level, especially since only 10 NFL stadiums are older than the dome and some of those have undergone multimillion-dollar renovations.
The agreement between the CVC and the Rams allows the lease to be broken every 10 years if the dome falls short of "first tier." About $30 million in publicly funded improvements persuaded the Rams to maintain the lease after the 2005 marker, and now another deadline has arrived in which the Rams could break the lease after the 2014 season if the dome isn't in the top tier.
Owner Stan Kroenke figures to be seeking a more significant upgrade this time.
Kroenke has been non-committal about the future of the team, which has fans worried. Kroenke, who is married to the daughter of Wal-Mart co-founder James "Bud" Walton, is a native Missourian, but he also owns an estate in Malibu, Calif., and is among the finalists seeking to buy baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers, leading to speculation about a possible move to California.
Or London. Those concerns were raised last month with the announcement that the Rams will play one "home" game each of the next three seasons in London, where Kroenke owns a majority share of the English soccer club Arsenal. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has often spoken of possibly locating a team in London. The CVC contends the games in England violate a lease agreement requiring all home games to be played in the dome.

text: There is no C-41 process film that is "easy" to push or pull. Most pro labs can and will (for a price) supply push or pull processing, but it doesn't work anything like as well as with Tri-X (or any other B&W emulsion, for that matter). That said, consumer films like Max 400 are probably closer to what you want; I've seen excellent acutance and very good storage characteristics with the Max 400 I've used. Unfortunately, it's available only in 35 mm. If you must have the same film in 135 and 120, your only choices will be professional films, most of which are slightly less robust to storage conditions (though even those aren't that sensitive -- airport x-rays are more a problem than storage for a few weeks). For my own use, I very much like Portra 400 NC in 120, and would probably shoot that in 35 mm if I didn't find Max 400 so completely acceptable and much, much cheaper.

Earlier this month, we reported that the CFPB had proposed a new generic information collection clearance titled "Generic Clearance for Consumer Complaint and Information Collection System (Testing and Feedback)." In a comment letter responding to the proposal, the American Bankers Association urges the CFPB to withdraw, or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to deny, the generic clearance request.
The CFPB intends to use the information collections for which it seeks generic clearance for purposes that include permitting the CFPB to pilot new consumer complaint and inquiry intake forms, promote complaint referrals, and collect data about companies' internal complaint management processes.
In its letter, the ABA notes that in support of its request, the CFPB stated that "the piloting of new, or testing to improve the existing complaint intake questions, may inquire about possible discrimination based on [prohibited basis factors.]" The ABA observes that, in light of this statement, the CFPB's request implicates "substantial policy issues, such as the method of eliciting claims of discrimination from complainants and the potential collection of monitoring information about prohibited basis characteristics to evaluate such complaints." According to the ABA, these issues "warrant fulsome public and industry debate, not perfunctory mention and approval pursuant to the generic information clearance process."
The ABA also notes that in support of its request, the CFPB stated that it intends to use the generic clearance process to (1) "streamline the gathering of feedback from States to develop criteria for appropriate State referral and to inform a survey of State agency functional capacity to receive referrals (e.g., operational capacity to conform to federal privacy and data security laws.)," and (2) learn more about "companies' internal complaint management processes" through voluntary self-reporting. The ABA comments that both of these proposed collections also implicate significant policy issues that are unsuitable for a generic clearance.
In addition to discussing its concerns with the specific information sought by the CFPB's proposed collections, the ABA criticizes the CFPB's approach to the information collection as "dismissively cavalier." Observing that the CFPB's data collection and privacy practices are under increased public and Congressional scrutiny, the ABA notes that it is "inappropriate and unwise for the Bureau to treat these data under generic rather than normal clearance procedures by the [OMB]" because "[e]very complaint relies directly upon personal financial information, the privacy of which should be a major concern."
The ABA also opposed a generic information collection clearance proposed by the CFPB in October 2011. That proposal sought generic clearance for intake forms, response forms and feedback collection used in the CFPB's complaint system.
We agree with the ABA that the CFPB 's request implicates significant policy issues, which make it an inappropriate candidate for the generic clearance process.

Andre Snyman's injury bogey seems set to continue. The utility back may have broken his wrist in the 29-15 win over Scotland.
Snyman's international career was interrupted by dual ankle breaks several years ago, but he managed to fight back and earned a re-call to White's Bok squad this year.
He started on the wing in the first Test last weekend, but injuries to the the Bok midfield pair of Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie meant Snyman was handed the No 13 jersey and partnered Wynand Olivier in a new-look centre combination on Saturday.
His effort before being replaced was hardly inspiring. His coach tried to defend him afterwards: "Andre is trying as hard as he can. It is unfair to criticise as he is new to our setup. It really is difficult for him."
Snyman was taken to hospital last night for scans and will get the results today. Even if they do not reveal a break it is unlikely the big man will be considered for the Test against France.
It might create an opportunity for White to start Bryan Habana at outside centre, although Fourie could be back. "I'm hoping to have Jaque back next week and I will have a chat with de Wet to see whether he is available. Habana is good at either 11 or 13," said White.
Os du Randt was also removed, but White said it was merely a precautionary measure and he should be fine to take on the French.
