There are several reasons why I choose to make Los Suenos Resort & Marina my home for work and play. Simply put it provides the best of what Costa Rica has to offer in all regards. Proximity to the airport, the best tours and activities, world class sport fishing, and most important North American quality residences all within a Jungle Setting.

This property is one of the few beach front condos in the entire country. With a view of the Los Suenos Beach Club, Herradura Bay, Los Suenos Marina, and Pacific Ocean Beyond this is a very unique vacation property. It will take your breathe away upon entry and the expansive patio is perfect for watching sunsets, nature, and the boats coming in after a long day of fishing. Enjoy Scarlet Macaws as they roost in the trees directly above patio.
An amazing property.
My family rented the Bella vista for our spring break. Fishing was our main activity and it was wonderful. We caught so many fish and ate them at local restaurants. It was so much fun and the service was incredible. We will go back.
We could not have been more pleased. From our arrival to leaving was first class. We had a few things to handle regarding the computers and TV. These things were handled immediately. The people assisting us upon arrival were extremely nice and helpful. The other workman were very friendly and took care of the issues quickly. The condo was extremely nice. In fact, we are discussing returning and renting the same condo. I cannot think of one negative comment or problem we had. Thank you for making our vacation the best ever!
I recently took my family to Los Suenos. We went there wanting a first class trip at a reasonable price. I could not have asked for a better vacation or nicer accommodations. I have stayed in some very nice hotels and condos all over the world in the past, but nothing comes close to the accomodations and service that we experienced through the HRG team at the Bella Vista in Los Suenos! Mike, Evelyn and Luis set up the perfect trip for us. We had a packed agenda that went flawlessly with everything running on time, every time. While most of our activities set up in advance of the trip through the HRG team, Luis was also there whenever we needed him to set up last minute tours, surf lessons, cabs, private chefs and whatever else we needed! The actitivites and fishing they recommended were excellent- including white water rafting, zip lining, and fishing.
Our view of the ocean and the pool was as good as it gets. The finish out and comfort of the condo was over the top. The location being a stone's throw away from the Marriott, the beach, the main beach club pool and also it's own private pool was amazing. The Marina was just a short walk away. The maid service was exceptional - they washed all of our clothes everyday! The bar service at the beach club pool was great. All of this for a very reasonable price!
I could not give a place a higher rating on accommodations or service! This on all on top of being in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. My family and I would go back to Bella Vista at Los Suenos in a heartbeat!! I highly recommend this property.
My husband and I stayed in this condo for part of our trip to Los Suenos, I wish we could have stayed there the whole time!!! The condo was absolutely beautiful and a perfect location. We walked out to the patio each morning to have coffee overlooking the pool and beach...exactly what you what when you're in Costa Rica! The furnishings were welcoming and comfortable, it was well worth the money! HRG was very helpful in getting any issues fixed in a timely manner and the cleaning service was great. I would highly recommend this condo if you're looking for that perfect location, luxury furnishing and great service with HRG!
The condo was wonderful. It is spacious and comfortable. I wish the 3rd bedroom had full beds instead of twins but the space is limited. The fans on the balcony did not work, and we did report it to management. The one thing that I would complain about, the owner leaves the Hummer in the car space and there is a problem with parking golf carts.
Otherwise, it was perfect.
It was an amazing experience. The condo was very comfortable with all the necessaries and much more. The decor was a lot more than what we expected, it was absolutely beautiful!!! and very clean. The landscaping was gorgeous and the view couldn't have been any better. The service was outstanding, everyone went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. I highly recommend Los Suenos, and the unit that we stayed in was gorgeous.
This condo was very ice and provided all the modern comforts of being in the US...and most exciting for us was the washer dryer. Costa Rica is best enjoyed if you are active which often means getting dirty so the washer and dryer was such an added bonus. The rooms are very well designed, clean and comfortable as well. There is a full kitchen and a good amount of space for 6 people to relax after a full day out and about. Or if you want a calmer day, there is a private pool (where we saw no one else during our stay) or a really beautiful beach club next door. My only disappointment at the club was that the bartender didn't seem to be there for drinks very early.
The other nice thing is that there is a large marina just a short 5 minute walk away with a bank, some stores, some restaurants, bars and a market. There is also a full and very clean grocery store just outside the resort entrance where you can stock up on food should you want to cook your own meals.There is also a Marriott next door with more restaurants, bars, shopping, a spa, gym and casino.
The beach is volcanic and I saw very few people on it but there is a white sand area by the pool if you want to sun bathe or play volleyball.
I would say this place is great for a family or group of friends and would be most ideal for those who want to fish as the fishing charters are quite good and right there. It also would be good for people who are not good at navigating their way through foreign countries as all the creature comforts are there and the HRG group speaks english and really serve as your concierge. They arranged a monkey tour for us that was really great. The monkey's ate out of our hand and the guide was a little crazy but entertaining. To be expected from a monkey tour guide.
The only negative I would say is that I prefer to experience the culture and this resort makes you feel like you could be in the US except for the scenery. But we remedied that by spending our days surfing at Jaco (the next beach just about 10 minutes away) and taking day trips to Manuel Antonio (a must!). We also ventured out to eat where it is more affordable and we could get some local flavor. All that said,the condo is great and centrally located in an area that provide many activities for all types of travelers.....but I think it would be most idea for someone who LOVES to fish. And if the wife or kids don't LOVE to fish, they will be safe and well entertained here. Kids would be very safe here as well.
In-house massage and spa services, in-house chef and catering, tour services, full time driver and guide, restaurant reservations and recommendations, golf and sport fishing reservations, golf cart rental, automobile rental, dry cleaning, 24 hour medical assistance, real estate tours and information, babysitting, we have more condominiums, villas & houses available to rent in Los Suenos Resort.

Not all agree, though, that biggest risk factor is the brain attack itself
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 23 (HealthDay News) -- The way to reduce the chances of developing dementia such as Alzheimer's disease after a stroke is to prevent a second stroke by concentrating on all the known stroke risk factors, a new British study suggests.
Two major findings emerged from an analysis of 30 previous studies that involved more than 7,500 people who had suffered a stroke, said Dr. Sarah Pendlebury, a senior clinical fellow at the Stroke Prevention Research Unit of John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and lead author of a report published online Sept. 23 in The Lancet Neurology.
"First, there is a clear relationship between having multiple strokes and the risk of dementia," Pendlebury said. "If someone has multiple strokes at the same time, that person has a strong risk of becoming demented in the first month."
"Second, the data suggest that the presence of complications after stroke -- such as hypertension [high blood pressure], low oxygen saturation, cardiac events and seizures -- also increases the risk of developing dementia."
Because of this, Pendlebury said, the focus of stroke treatment units should be on all the risk factors for stroke. "So, to prevent worsening of damage to the brain, the patient must be maintained in as stable a condition as is possible," she said. "We must prevent either high or low blood pressure and maximize all other secondary prevention measures."
The study found that dementia rates in the first year after a stroke vary widely, ranging from 7.4 percent in population-based studies of stroke victims who did not previously have dementia to 41.3 percent in hospital-based studies that included people who had signs of dementia before a stroke.
But the study's conclusion that the risk of dementia was associated with the risk and number of strokes, rather than underlying risk fa

Snowden's remaining docs unlikely to tie US hands
WASHINGTON It's the stuff of spy novels: The hunted-down protagonist wins in the end because he's got damaging documents squirreled away, a bargaining chip against the bureaucrats who want to silence him.
If National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden thinks he's living in such a thriller, legal experts say he ought to think again. Nothing he has is likely to scare off the prosecution.
Snowden, stuck at a Russian airport while he seeks asylum from several countries, has not overtly threatened the U.S. that he would release more damaging documents. But the journalist through whom he has been working, Glenn Greenwald, has said that blueprints that detail how the NSA operates will be made public if something should happen to Snowden.
"This is his insurance policy," said Greenwald, a columnist with Britain's Guardian newspaper who received Snowden's initial leaks and who communicates with the former NSA systems analyst. In a July 13 article in the Argentine newspaper La Nacion, Greenwald said, "The U.S. government should be on its knees praying every day that nothing happens to Snowden, because if something does happen, all the information would be revealed and this would be its worst nightmare."
The Justice Department is not discussing its prosecution strategy, though Attorney General Eric Holder has said the U.S. has no plans to seek the death penalty as it pursues criminal charges against Snowden. Holder made the comments in a letter to the Russian government dated Tuesday.
While the U.S. isn't eager for any more classified information to be disclosed, there's little chance Snowden will be able to use what he has as a bargaining chip to negotiate his prosecution or extradition. That's because giving into threats would risk opening the door for others to take similar action in the future.
The government must take the position: "We don't negotiate with extortionists," said Michael Chertoff, the former head of the Justice Department's criminal division and former secretary of homeland security. Chertoff said he can't recall a case in which the U.S. government has caved under this type of threat.
"I'm betting that there is virtually nothing that Snowden could do or threaten to persuade the (U.S. government) not to prosecute," said Peter Zeidenberg, a former federal prosecutor who was on the team that prosecuted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the Bush administration official who revealed the name of a CIA officer. Zeidenberg said doing so would send a damaging message from the U.S.: "If you are going to steal secrets, get the crown jewels; that way, the government will never dare to prosecute."
Snowden leaked details of two top secret U.S. surveillance programs. He has been charged with three offenses, including espionage, and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that if Snowden releases any more of the materials, Russia will not grant him temporary asylum.
"If the Obama administration responds with an even harsher hand against me, they can be assured that they'll soon find themselves facing an equally harsh public response," Snowden said in a June 17 online question-and-answer forum.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Antihero Cahit (Birol Ünel) is a fortysomething janitor who collects the beer bottles and sweeps up the debris in a Hamburg dive before engaging in his own round of drunken barhopping. This morose, grizzled, potentially violent sot lives in a miserable hovel where a Siouxsie (of the Banshees) poster bears mute witness to his punk pastand perhaps the happiness he enjoyed with late German wife. One night Cahit plows his jalopy into a wall and winds up in a clinic, where he meets Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), another failed suicide half his age. This proud and impulsive rebel girl sees marriage to dissolute Cahit as a "green card" that will allow her to escape her traditional Muslim family and set off on her own life of sexual exploration.
Sibel is cleverspiriting Cahit out of the clinic to a barand she's persistent. When the grouchy janitor turns down her proposal, she breaks a bottle and reslashes her wrists. Sibel's will prevails and Cahit, who can barely speak Turkish, has to pass himself off as a respectable suitor and meet her suspicious family. (He agrees to be a beard and, once he shaves, we're treated to his ravaged good looks.) The ethnic antics have a family resemblance to those of the far more focused and poignant Israeli immigration comedy Late Marriage. There's a big fat Turkish weddingalbeit with the bridal couple getting coked up to cope.
Head-On starts as a bleary smear. A sense of jangling discord underscores Cahit's punk youth, but the film is framed as a ballad. The action is punctuated by a six-piece Turkish Gypsy ensemble playing to the camera on the picturesque banks of the Bosporus. And the doings turn increasingly melodramatic and ultimately violent once Sibel enters Cahit's miserable life. Installed in his crash pad, she gets a piercing and a job in a salon run by a tough broad who is Cahit's sometime lover. Evenings, Cahit takes Sibel dancing; radiantly happy and always on the make, she picks up guys and goes home with them, leaving Cahit to retrash the apartment. (A 24-year-old amateur discovered in a Cologne shopping mall, Kekilli throws herself into her performance, exhibiting the same adventurous abandon with which her character embraces her new life.)
Dour as Cahit is, how could he not be captivated by this lithe, unflappable honey? As the clincher, Akin contrives a homemade biber dolmasi dinner that's nearly as hot as the cook. And how could their arrangement do anything other than cause chaos and misery? Head-On loses its merry mojo once events turn irrevocable and the action switches from Hamburg to Istanbul. Germany may be toxic but Turkey is . . . what? The return to a homeland that Cahit and Sibel neither know nor understand is crucial to the movie's meaningand, a cynic might think, to its success with European audiences.
Once in Turkey, Akin sets up a symmetrical tragedy and then, perhaps too attached to his characters, continues on for another half-hour. Head-On's ending isn't exactly a happy one but the late-inning narrative shift does allow additional time to consider who these people might be. In an odd spin on the immigration story, rootless Cahit and Sibel are ultimately too complex for the fiction that holds them.

In the middle level, which has the densest traces of human occupation, artifacts were distributed differently. Animal bones were concentrated at the front rather than the rear of the cave. This was also true of the stone tools, or lithics. A hearth was in back of the cave about half a meter to a meter from the wall. It would have allowed warmth from the fire to circulate among the living area.
"When you make stone tools there is a lot of debris that you don't want in high traffic areas or you risk injuring yourself," Riel-Salvatore said. "There are clearly fewer stone artifacts in the back of the shelter near the hearth."
The bottom level, thought to represent a short-term base camp, is the least well known because it was exposed only over a very small area. More stone artifacts were found immediately inside the shelter's mouth, suggesting tool production may have occurred inside the part of the site where sunlight was available. Some shellfish fragments also suggest that Neanderthals exploited the sea for food; like ochre, these are found in all the levels.
The discoveries are the latest in continuing research by Riel-Salvatore showing that Neanderthals were far more advanced than originally thought.
In an earlier study, he found that Neanderthals were highly innovative, creating bone tools, ornaments and projectile points. He also co-authored a paper demonstrating that interbreeding between Neanderthals and humans may have led to the ultimate demise of the outnumbered hominins. Still, Neanderthal genes make up between one and four percent of today's human genome, especially among Europeans.
"This is ongoing work, but the big picture in this study is that we have one more example that Neanderthals used some kind of logic for organizing their living sites," Riel-Sal

President Francois Hollande is about to learn just how much power he has as French people returned to voting stations today for the second and final round of the country's legislative elections.
The vote will determine whether he has control of the lower house of parliament to push through the tough decisions needed as Europe's debt crisis intensifies. The last polling station closes at 8 p.m. local time tonight in France's largest cities including Paris and Lyon.
Voter turnout at 5 p.m. was 46.16 percent, compared with 49.58 percent at the previous election in 2007, according to Interior Ministry data. The turnout dropped more than two percentage points from last week's first-round level.
While his Socialist Party is projected by pollsters to win the largest number of seats in parliament, Hollande may also have to rely on parties that are anti-European and more adamant than he is about rejecting German-led austerity, which has been a key piece of the plan for Europe's crisis recovery.
"Should the Socialist Party have to depend on the anti- capitalist, anti-globalization, anti-austerity Left Front, we believe it would pull the new government further to the left and open up wider divisions between Paris and Berlin over the handling of the euro-zone crisis," Alastair Newton, senior analyst at Nomura International, wrote in a note to clients.
Greek Vote
The election coincides with a vote in Greece, where the possible success of anti-austerity parties may set in motion that country's exit from the euro. Meanwhile, banking-industry woes and recession concerns have sent borrowing costs soaring in Spain and Italy. In France, growth has stalled and joblessness is the highest in 13 years.
With 289 seats required for a majority in the National Assembly, the Socialists may win 280 to 310 seats, pollsters TNS-Sofres forecast, based on the results of the June 10 first round.
That may leave them needing to rely on the Greens or even the communist-backed Left Front for a working majority. The Greens may win 12 to 17 seats, and the Left Front 13 to 18, TNS predicts. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement and its allies may get 235 to 265 seats.
"The ecologists are pro-European and shouldn't cause too many problems for Hollande," said Dominique Reynie, a senior researcher at Paris's Institute of Political Studies. "It will get a bit more complicated if they have to rely on the Left Front, who have deputies hostile to Europe."
Socialist Control
Victory for Hollande's party would give France's Socialists control of the presidency and the National Assembly for the first time since 1993. The Socialists took control of the Senate, the upper house of parliament, last year for the first time in 50 years. On a local level, the Socialists and their allies control 20 of mainland France's 21 regions.
The National Assembly is divided into 577 constituencies. In 36 of them, candidates were elected with more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round. In the rest, run-offs are needed for all contenders receiving more than 12.5 percent of registered voters. After some candidates dropped out as part of electoral agreements, there will be 34 constituencies with three candidates running.
"In some form or another, there will be a majority in the French parliament so that's off my list of things to worry about," said Tina Fordham, senior global political analyst at Citigroup Inc. "They will be able to push through legislation."
Left Front
While the Left Front has said it would support Hollande's government, the parties don't agree on all issues. The Left Front's presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Melenchon, openly supports Greece's Syriza party, which wants to renegotiate Greece's European Union aid agreements. Hollande has said Greece must abide by its rescue deals, even if he has also spoken about the need for growth measures.
Melenchon himself won't be in parliament. He was eliminated in the first round in a failed attempt to challenge Marine Le Pen, head of the anti-immigrant National Front.
"Given Melenchon's oratory skills, his presence in parliament would have created all sorts of problems for Hollande if he ever did have to impose austerity measures," Reynie said.
Le Pen is facing a Socialist candidate in a northern constituency as she seeks to become the first member of the anti-euro National Front ever to hold a seat in parliament.
Segolene Royal
Another closely watched race is in the west of France where Segolene Royal, the Socialist presidential candidate in 2007 and the mother of Hollande's four children, faces a local renegade Socialist. The Socialist Party officially supports Royal. Hollande's current partner Valerie Trierweiler sent a post via Twitter backing her opponent.
Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici took 41 percent in his constituency in eastern France and is expected to win in the run-off against candidates from the UMP and the National Front. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius were elected in the first round.
Turnout in the first round was 57.2 percent, less than the 61 percent in 2007, the Interior Ministry said.

Rice traders behind shortage talk, says Alcala
MANILA, Philippines—Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala on Tuesdasy said traders wishing to dispose of their excess rice inventories may be behind recent false reports of a rice shortage.
"There are parties—not small parties but parties with resources—that have been manipulating rice supplies," Alcala said.
He said the lean months were over and the harvest had started in many rice-producing areas.
"There is enough supply and there is no reason for the commercial price to spike," he said. "We believe some people have large inventories and they are creating opportunities [for the price] to go up."
The National Food Authority (NFA), citing "reliable sources," said reports of a shortage and hoarding "are part of a campaign designed to undermine the present administration and compel us to relent in our campaign against unscrupulous rice traders."
NFA administrator Orlan Calayag, in a statement, said the agency had dispatched teams to look for the warehouses holding commercial rice stocks and to build up cases of hoarding against those responsible.
No price increase
Alcala, however, said the government's intervention in a shortage was limited to providing low-priced rice such as the P27-per-kilo regular milled rice and the P32-per-kilo well-milled rice.
"As long as we can provide the general public with the right volume, we don't see price hikes of commercial rice as the NFA's fault," he said.
"There are many who are not happy with how we do things these days," he added.
"Just here in Metro Manila, we have apprehended and penalized 62 retailers for unreasonable practices. This has not happened in a long time and certain parties are sure to be offended," he said.
Last week, Calayag said the palay harvest in the Visayas and Mindanao started earlier than usual, giving the government an opportunity to beef up the rice inventory in the aftermath of extensive crop damage caused by recent typhoons.

US drops bombs on Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
More News from Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia — Two U.S. fighter jets have dropped four unarmed bombs in Australia's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park when a training exercise went wrong.
The two AV-8B Harrier jets launched from aircraft carrier USS Bonhomme Richard each jettisoned an inert bomb and an unarmed explosive bomb in the World Heritage-listed marine park off the coast of Queensland state on Tuesday, the U.S. 7th Fleet said in a statement on Saturday.
The four bombs were dropped in more than 50 meters (164 feet) of water away from coral to minimize possible damage to the reef, the statement said. None exploded.
The jets from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit had intended to drop the ordnances on the Townshend Island bombing range but aborted the mission when controllers reported the area was not clear of hazards.
The pilots conducted the emergency jettison because they were low on fuel and could not land with their bomb load, the navy said.
The emergency happened on the second day of the biennial joint training exercise Talisman Saber, which brings together 28,000 U.S. and Australian military personnel over three week.
The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps were working with Australian authorities to investigate the incident, the navy said.
A 7th Fleet spokesman could not be immediately contacted for further comment on Sunday.
Graeme Dunstan, who is among the environmentalists and anti-war activists demonstrating against the joint exercise, said the mishap proved that the U.S. military could not be trusted to protect the environment.
"How can they protect the environment and bomb the reef at the same time? Get real," Dunstan said from the Queensland coastal town of Yepoon near where war games are taking place.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest network of coral structures rich in marine life that stretches more than 3,000 kilometers (1,800 miles) along the Australian northeast coast.

I'm running the following statement, it is working locally with SQL Server 2008, however, there is SQL Server 2008 Express on the development server, and after the sql statement runs, I am unable to do SELECT statements on the table in which I deleted the record. Both databases were created with the same table creation scripts.
"DELETE FROM [dbo].[tblMiddayMover] WITH (ROWLOCK) WHERE [idMiddayMover] = @IdMiddayMover"
What reasons would this statement ever cause the database to hang.
After executing that statement, the following SELECT statement causes an error.
"SELECT * FROM [dbo].[tblMiddayMover] WHERE [fldActive] = 1"
I get the following error:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
I can do select statements on any other table with no issues.
I ran the command that was suggested, here is the output.

PORTLAND -- The director of the Multnomah County Health Department says one of her own personal issues has been affecting her employees' response to the affair between county chair Jeff Cogen and policy and planning director Sonia Manhas.
I am fully aware that my personal issues have influenced your feelings around these events, director Lillian Shirley told her staff in an email obtained by KGW. All I can pledge to you is that there will be frank discussions and shared strategies for the future.
Shirley was referring to an incident in May, in which she was arrested for domestic violence, a Multnomah County spokesperson said.
Police said Shirley got into a physical fight with her husband after he revealed he wanted a divorce. Shirley told police her husband was seeing another woman. After the arrest, Shirley s husband declined to press charges.
A couple of months later Sonia Manhas, one of Shirley s employees, was forced to resign when news of her affair with Cogen came to light.
In addition to addressing the effect her personal issues have had on her employees, the health department director said she would clear her calendar and begin meeting with her staff on Monday to start repairing fractures within the organization.

Mr. Scozzafava added, "Looking forward, our focus in 2013 continues to be on generating free cash flow, and to that end we will intensify our efforts to drive profitable sales growth through product, pricing and dealer service initiatives. We will also remain focused on manufacturing efficiencies as well as on reducing costs and improving working capital."For the fourth quarter ended December 29, 2012: Net sales were $264.0 million compared to $255.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $8.5 million, or 3.3%.

The invention relates to a receiver for receiving digital broadcast transmissions at a mobile terminal. The receiver is particularly suitable for use in a mobile terminal that comprises a transceiver for enabling telephone communication.
Proposed services for mobile terminals, such as news, entertainment or business services, may require the transmission of a considerable amount of content to one or more receiving devices. The content may include audio, video, multimedia, graphic or other data, such as music files or film clips. Currently, limited multimedia services are provided on-demand in mobile telephones using Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)/Third Generation (3G) networks. However, the power supply to a mobile terminal is typically limited, for example, to the capacity a rechargeable battery. Therefore, further developments in such services will require a highly efficient data delivery mechanism.
Internet Protocol Datacast (IPDC) is a broadcast system for transmitting data over a wireless connection, in which terrestrial and satellite digital video broadcast (DVB-T, DVB-S) networks may be used. A further transmission standard, DVB-H, has been proposed, specifically for DVB transmission to handheld or mobile terminals, taking into account their restricted power and memory capacities.
However, if a mobile terminal is to offer both DVB reception capability and cellular telecommunications, it must include multiple antennas. The small size of, for example, a mobile telephone handset means that the antennas must be located in close proximity to one another, resulting in a significant risk of interference between them. This risk would be particularly marked in a mobile terminal arranged to receive telecommunications over a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) 900 network, as the frequency of the GSM signals would be close to those picked up by a wideband antenna for DVB signals, at, say, 470-860 MHz.
According to the present invention, a receiver module for digital broadcast reception comprises an antenna, an amplifier for amplifying signals received by the antenna, a demodulator and means for connecting the receiver module to a mobile terminal.
The receiver module may be configured to receive a battery and be attachable to the mobile terminal. The battery may supply power to both the mobile terminal and receiver module simultaneously.
Preferably, the antenna is a loop antenna. A loop antenna responds to the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the risk of interference between the loop antenna and a second antenna within the mobile terminal may be relatively low. For example, where the mobile terminal is a mobile telephone, this allows a second antenna for telephone communication to be located in close proximity to the loop antenna without the performance of either antenna being significantly affected. This allows considerable freedom in the design of the antennas and, in particular, allows a digital broadcast receiver to be located within a mobile terminal that comprises a conventional antenna for use in telephone communication. Furthermore, the loop antenna is also highly resistant to electrical interference from external sources and its radiation pattern is not influenced significantly by proximity to the user.
Shielding for the antenna may be provided, for example, in the form of a cover or shield of suitable conductive material, in order to shield the antenna from electric fields produced by components of the mobile terminal.
The receiver module may further comprise a matching circuit for matching the impedances of the antenna and amplifier.
The receiver module may be configured to receive DVB-T transmissions and may further be arranged to receive time-sliced IPDC transmissions using a method of selective data reception.
The invention further provides a mobile terminal comprising the receiver module, a battery pack comprising the receiver module, a cover for a portion of the mobile terminal comprising the receiver module and a mobile terminal comprising such a battery pack or cover.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described byway of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The DVB-T network 3 provides an IP datacast (IPDC) service for transmitting content to the terminals 1 1, 1 2, such as audiovisual content or multimedia clips, images, games, data files, other software etc. Content is obtained from data stream servers 5 1, 5 2 in TCP/IP format as Internet protocol (IP) datagrams. Two such servers 5 1, 5 2 are shown by way of example although in practice there may be many more.
The DVB-T network 3 is cellular and antennae 6 1, 6 2 and 6 3 serve individual cells of the network at geographically spaced sites. The datagrams obtained from the servers 5 1, 5 2 can be multicast through an IP network, not shown, comprising interconnected routers, to individual transmission sites associated with the antennae 6 1, 6 2, 6 3. It will be understood that the cells associated with each of the antennae 6 1, 6 2, 6 3 are typically of the order of 30 km in radius and so the network of routers may be configured over a wide area. Any suitable IP network can be used, for example, a broadband corporate network or the Internet.
At each of the transmission sites, content received from the IP network is fed to an IP encapsulator which performs a multi-protocol encapsulation process. The resulting encapsulated data packets can be included within, for example, a Motion Pictures Expert Group (MPEG-2) transport stream (TS) packet used for DVB-T transmissions. For further details, reference is directed to ETSI EN 301 192 V1.3.1 (2003-01) "Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) DVB specification for data broadcasting" Section 7.
The transport stream is broadcast to terminals 1 1, 1 2 within the relevant DVB-T cell as follows. The transport stream is fed to a modulator, which may comprise a quadrature amplitude modulator, that provides a number of logical channels for reception by terminals 1 1, 1 2 within the cell. The output of the modulator is fed to a transmitter connected to antenna 6 1. Thus, content from the servers 5 1, 5 2 can be routed to the transmission sites individually and transmitted as IP data over the DVB-T network 3 to the terminals 1 1, 1 2. It will be understood that the DVB-T transmission from each of the antennas 6 1, 6 2, 6 3 is unidirectional to the terminals 1 1, 1 2.
The PLMN 4 comprises a suitable mobile telephone network, such as a 2G, 2.5G or 3G network, and antennae 7 1 and 7 2 that serve individual cells of the PLMN 4. A communication channel C may be provided between the DVB-T network 3 and the PLMN 4 to allow bi-directional communication between the networks, for example, for the interchange of service information.
An example mobile terminal 1 is shown in
In order to enable the reception of data broadcast over the DVB-T network 3, a receiver module 11 is provided. In this embodiment, the receiver module 11 is inserted into a battery slot 12 in the terminal housing 10. The receiver module 11 retains a rechargeable battery 13 for supplying power to both the transceiver 8 and receiver module 11, as well as the other components of the terminal 1, such as the user interface, speaker etc.
The receiver module 11 also includes a second antenna 14, matching circuitry 15, an amplifier 16, a Radio Frequency (RF) downconverter 17, a demodulator 18, a processor 19, memory 20 and storage facility 21. The processor 19 controls the other components of the receiver module 11 on the basis of software stored in the memory 20, in order to process TP data packets, received from an IIPDC transmission, and/or video signals picked up by the second antenna 14. If required, the processor 19 may also be arranged to perform an error correction procedure on the received data packets.
The receiver module 11 further comprises timing circuits (not shown), such as a real-time clock and/or system clock, and interfaces (not shown) for interfacing various parts of the receiver module 11 to other components of the terminal 1.
The matching circuitry 15 matches the impedance of the second antenna 14 to that of the amplifier 16. The signals received through the second antenna 14 are amplified by amplifier 16 and downconverted to an intermediate or baseband frequency by downconverter 17 before being passed to the demodulator 18. The demodulated signals are stored in storage facility 21 for subsequent presentation to a user of the terminal 1.
The receiver module 11 is connected to the transceiver 8 through a connection 22, so that content received from the DVB-T network 3 can be presented through the user interface of the terminal 1, i.e. a display and/or audio output means as appropriate. The receiver module 11 may also be controlled, for example, switched on and off, by a further processor within the main body of the terminal 1 via the connection 22.
Referring to
The loop antenna 14 is grounded independently of the other components of the terminal 1 and, in this embodiment, is substantially symmetrical in shape. The loop antenna 14, matching circuitry 15 and, optionally, amplifier 16 are isolated from the other components of the terminal 1 and receiver module 11. This may be achieved by passing each wire connecting the loop antenna 14 or matching circuitry 15 to a ground plane through a ferrite bead, or a bead of another conductive material, that has a high impedance at the frequencies to be received by the loop antenna 14. If required, the amplifier 16 may also be isolated in this manner.
However, in any case, the loop antenna 14 is located several millimetres from both the dipole antenna 9 and the ground of the mobile terminal 1. In addition, as the performance of the loop antenna 14 is highly resistant to the proximity of the user, the loop of wire 27 can be placed close to the periphery of the terminal 1, to avoid shadowing of incoming signals by other components of the terminal 1.
The placement of the loop antenna 14 shown in
In order to reduce interference from other components of the terminal 1, such as the transceiver 8, and external sources, such ambient electrical noise, noise emitted from electrical devices or unwanted signals from nearby transmitters, the loop antenna 14 may be shielded by way of a covering of suitable conductive material, for example, copper or silver. Where such a covering (not shown) is provided, it encloses, but is galvanically isolated from, the loop antenna 14.
In such an embodiment, the coating or cover may be grounded at one end of the loop antenna 14, for example, at point A in
Instead of being formed from a wire 27, the loop antenna 14 may be formed from a coaxial cable. In this case, the inner core of the cable is arranged to act as the antenna and is shielded by the outer layer. The outer layer is grounded, preferably at one of the two positions A, B discussed in relation to the first embodiment, shown in
In the embodiment of
Another option is to form the loop antenna 14 on the PWB 23. In such an embodiment, a coating may be applied to the PWB 23 in multiple layers 28 a to 28 d as shown in
Although the arrangement of
The loop antenna 14 may be mounted on the PWB 23 that carries other components of the receiver module 11, such as the matching circuitry 15 etc., as shown in
The circuitry components of the receiver module 11 will now be described.
The matching circuitry 15 may be switchable, as shown in
The matching circuit 15 can be tuned to one of four predetermined wavebands, in a manner well known per se. A waveband is selected by the appropriate application of control signals to ports 36, 37. In this particular embodiment of the invention, the control signals are voltages representing logical levels. The matching circuit 15 is tuned according to a logical input indicated by the application of control signals to ports 36, 37, and does not depend on the actual biasing voltages used. For example, the logical level '0' may be indicated by 0 volt (V) and the logical level '1' by a control signal of, say, 3 or 5 volts (V), depending on the overall supply levels and other design considerations. If control signals corresponding to logical level '0' are applied to ports 36, 37, corresponding to a logical input of "00", a first waveband is selected. Other wavebands may be selected by applying a control signal corresponding to logical level '1' only to port 37, i.e., logical input "01", or only to port 36 ("10") or by applying control signals corresponding to logical level '1' to both ports 36, 37 ("11").
The matching circuitry 15′ is tuned to a desired frequency using either a tuning voltage or, in a software based system, output from a digital-to-analogue converter, in a well known manner. Tuning voltages are applied to ports 38 and 39. The tuning voltages, which may or may not be equal, can be varied within a fixed range, for example, 0 to 12V, in accordance with the desired frequency. The capacitance of the matching circuitry 15′ is determined by, and tracks any variations in, the tuning voltages and thereby the matching circuitry is tuned to the desired frequency. For example, the application of higher tuning voltages results in the reception of incoming signals at a higher frequency.
In a variation on the matching circuitry arrangement of
The data broadcast over the DVB-T network 3 may be "time-sliced". In such an arrangement, data packets relating to a particular service or content are grouped together into a series of "bursts" that take up most or all of the available bandwidth and having a relatively short duration. Each burst in the series carries a significant amount of interrelated data. The bursts are transmitted intermittently over the DVB-T network 3 and may be interspersed with one or more unrelated bursts of data. Each burst in a particular series preferably, but not necessarily, has a predetermined duration and is separated from the preceding and succeeding burst in the series by a predetermined time interval.
The receiver module 11 may be configured to operate a method of selective data reception for time-sliced data broadcast over the DVB-T network 3. If the receiver module 11 is to receive a particular service, it may be controlled by the processor 19 so that, while the bursts in the relevant series are being received, the receiver module 11 operates normally. However, in the intervals between the bursts, the data transmitted over the DVB-T network 3 may pertain to one or more further services that are of no interest or use. During these intervals, the receiver module 11 is switched off or, alternatively, switched into a low power operational mode in order to conserve power. The use of selective data reception to receive time-sliced transmissions may result in a reduction in the time for which the receiver module 11 must operate in order to receive a given amount of data. As a large proportion of the power consumption of the terminal 1 is due to the demands of the receiver module 11 when receiving data transmissions, this reception method allows more efficient use of the available power, prolonging the life of the battery 13 before recharging is required.
In order to perform selective data reception, information regarding the start times and lengths of the bursts in the series must be available to the processor 19 of the receiver module 11. For example, schedules for the time-sliced transmissions may be stored in the terminal 1. The schedules, which may include transmission frequencies, may be received in an IPDC transmission, e.g. in the form of an electronic service guide or service information.
In the mobile terminal 40 shown in
The second loop antenna 41 is external to the receiver module and is located on, moulded into, or housed within, a supporting flap 42. The second loop antenna 41 may be connected to the receiver module directly or through a connecting cable.
As the second loop antenna 41 is mounted externally of the receiver module casing (not shown), the dimensions of the loop is not limited by the dimensions of the receiver module. Therefore, this arrangement permits the provision and use of a loop antenna 41 with a larger radius and/or area. In addition, the user may position the loop antenna 41 so that its physical separation from the transceiver of the mobile terminal 40 is increased, further improving its reception capability.
The supporting flap 42 is mounted on the exterior of the mobile terminal 40 via a hinged connection 43.
The second loop antenna 41 may be deployed by rotating the supporting flap 42 about the hinged connection 43 in the direction of arrow 44. Reception through the first loop antenna, located within the receiver module 11, is then disabled using a switch. This may be performed automatically, for example, using a switch activated when the user deploys or folds away the second loop antenna 41, or by providing a switch for manual operation by the user.
A processor 19 within the receiver module may be configured to monitor the quality of an incoming digital broadcast signal. The signal quality may be evaluated by comparing one or more suitable parameters with a predetermined reference value. Examples of suitable parameters include signal strength, bit error rate (BER), packet error rate (PER) and an output from an automatic gain control system associated with the amplifier 16, an RF stage or an intermediate frequency stage within the receiver module. If it is determined that the received signal quality is inadequate and/or that the received signal quality is deteriorating, the processor 19 may display an alert message on the user interface of the mobile terminal 40. If the incoming digital broadcast signals are being received through the first loop antenna 14, the alert message may prompt the user to deploy the second loop antenna 41 and, if necessary, to operate a switch disabling the first loop antenna. However, if the second loop antenna 41 is already in use, the alert message may indicate that the user should try to reposition the second loop antenna 41, in order to improve the received signal quality.
The receiver module may comprise switching means and/or a signal quality monitoring arrangement as described above in relation to the second embodiment of the invention.
The configuration and operation of the receiver modules of the second and third embodiments of the invention, such as the internal circuitry, signal processing, configuration of the antenna and operational modes, are as described in relation to the first embodiment.
The embodiments described above are examples showing how the invention may be implemented. For example, it is not essential for the first and/or second loop antennas 14, 41 to be provided in the form of a single loop, as shown in
External antennas 41, such as those in the second and third embodiments of the invention, may be provided instead of an antenna 14 located within the housing of the mobile terminal 1 or receiver module 11. Alternatively, the external antenna 41 may be provided on a cover that may be attached to a portion of the mobile terminal to form part of the mobile terminal housing 10. Such a cover may be detachable.
A signal quality monitoring arrangement, as described in relation to the second embodiment, may be implemented in the mobile terminal 1 of the first embodiment, in order to prompt the user to deploy an external antenna or, where no such external antenna 41 is provided, to attach an external antenna to the receiver module 11 or mobile terminal 1.
The second and third embodiments have been described in relation to a receiver module 11 that is separate from, and connectable to, the mobile terminal 1. However, in other embodiments of the invention, a receiver module that is integral to the mobile terminal 1 may be arranged to receive signals through an external loop antenna 41. For example, a receiver module permanently housed within a mobile terminal may be arranged to receive digital broadcast signals through a loop antenna 14 that is hinged or slideably mounted on the mobile terminal.
Furthermore, a receiver module may be provided within, or mounted on, a cover that may be attached to cover a portion of a mobile terminal, to form part of an exterior housing of the mobile terminal. The cover may be configured so that it is detachable from the mobile terminal. A second loop antenna 41 may also be mounted on, or within, the cover. For example, a second loop antenna may be hingeably connected to the cover, in a similar manner to that shown in
The mobile terminal 1 may take the form of a mobile telephone handset, or another form of receiving device such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). While the receiver module 11 is suitable for use in equipment configured to communicate over a telephone network, it may also be used in a device without such capability.
In addition, the receiver module 11 may be a detachable module, as shown in
It is not essential to provide a separate battery cover 26 as the receiver module 11 may be arranged so that part of its casing 24, 25 or the battery 13 itself forms part of the external housing of the terminal 1 or other receiving device. This type of arrangement may be used in a variation on the second and third embodiments, shown in
The above described embodiments are arranged to receive signals broadcast over a DVB-T network However, the receiver module 11 may be arranged to receive signals from a DVB-H network as well as, or instead of, DVB-T network 3. The invention is not limited to use with DVB-T or DVB-H networks and can be implemented for receiving transmissions over one or more other digital broadcast networks, including DVB-S, Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) and Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) networks instead of, or as well as, DVB-T and/or DVB-H broadcast signals.

If you have ever remodeled or built a house, you can begin to understand a significant issue that has generated both litigation and legislation arising out of defective construction: Do comprehensive general liability ("CGL") policies provide coverage for construction defects?
Contractors typically purchase performance bonds to cover their work, but these bonds generally have higher premiums than liability policies. While it is not surprising that consumers would prefer the availability of the lower-priced coverage if provided by CGL policies, the cost of those policies may increase if courts and legislatures mandate constructive defect coverage under CGL policies.

Otherwise, it could be that your main is simply too blown out and baggy, and you need to give Omar the tentmaker a call about a getting yourself a new (flatter) main.
Yup, I put tension in the main halyard, backstay, clue outhaul. I have not rigged a cunningham yet but its on the list. I need to add a deck plate under the mast first. I have not tried the to open the slot yet, thanks for that tip.
According to the sail maker, the sails are 7 years old and are pentex laminates. He said that material is similar to Dacron and polyester, stronger than Mylar but weaker then Kevlar. They have not seen much use in the past few years, but I don't know before that. The surveyor remarked that they seemed to be in excellent shape but he didn't see them under sail.
I called the sail maker again and he advised that I'll know when they are ready to give up the ghost based on where the draft is. He said if my 150% has a draft 50% back, then its done. He said the main was okay with a draft 50% back but not further. I'll hopefully get a chance to check them tomorrow, if it does not rain.
To answer a few other questions, I don't have a furler, but rather a dual track foil. I predominantly have been racing, very little cruising. I'm still looking for a crew that wants to race as much as I do, hopefully I'll recruit a great crew by next season. The raid has really put a damper on stuff this season.
I have been experiencing weather helm, and I am trying to retue the rig to reduce it. My mast is like a phone pole so I don't see it bending much.
I would also hate to buy a sail I don't need, but if I need new ones I'll get them. I just want to be sure first.
