Looking for someone with a good sense of humor, and likes to travel.
I'm a successful business owner and have been for 33 years. I have employees that have been with me for 25years and we are like a family. We travel together and enjoy working together. Family is very important to me. I have always put there needs before my own and feel that now it is time to do something for myself. I'm looking for someone that has some freedom in his life to jump in the car or a plane a go for a weekend to somewhere new or old just because it sounds like fun. I want someone who can make me laugh and be light hearted. Life is serious but it should be fun along the way. I'm Terry's friend first and coworker second she is to modest to write the real truth, but she has a heart of gold and would do all she can to help a friend, family member or a stray animal. She is always put together, hair in place and make-up on and ready to go. I'm grateful that I have such wonderful people in my life and I'm ready to have some fun with someone special.

This will always be a basic powder that I keep for my less glam days. It lasts forever (mine last for like 1year) and I have repurchased for 5 years now. I love my mac studio fix powder but that's more for going out. my clinique powder is buildable (but never as buildable as SF which is fine with me for the more laid back days)

This looks fantastic when first put on, but within a couple of hours it'd make my skin look extremely oily and shiny. And then when I reapply the powder would make my face look cakey (like the Clinique SA). I do have oily skin though, and for me MAC sheer is the best (though not perfect) one for me so far... And so I will keep searching for my HG powder. Won't repurchase again.

I just purchased this powder in "Stay Buff" to use over my Clinique "Almost Makeup" in "Neutral Fair". I absolutely love the texture and feel of this powder, it just melts into skin, and gets rid of oil but never looks chalky or cakey. One of the few pressed powders I've found that actually minimizes my giant pores too! The only bad thing I can say about it, is that this seems to be the fairest shade and it is *almost* too dark for me. Luckily, it is sheer enough I can pull it off, but I would prefer a paler shade. The so called "Invisible Matte" is actually quite dark and orange, and the color swatches on Cliniques website are misleading. I tried all the lightest shades at the Clinique counter, so if you are very fair, go with "Stay Buff". Otherwise a gorgeous powder, that's excellent for oily and/or acne prone skin, in beautiful packaging, at a reasonable price point. I've included a pic of me wearing the "Stay Matte-Stay Buff powder of Clinique's "Almost Makeup in Neutral Fair". continued >>

I love this powder - it's perfect in the summer when I want something light and natural looking. Some folks have complained about it being cakey, but this is easily corrected by applying the product with a light, fluffy brush. This didn't break me out and kept me matte in extreme conditions. Recently, they've come out with a lot of new colors (super light and dark) and while I use Prescriptives for my work/ going out powder foundation, I use this on days when I want a more relaxed, less heavy look.

I just made my second purchase for this. I use it everyday and it has become the one product i must have when i leave for work. It really helps to keep shine away ass well as making my skin appear even. i do need a touch up midday in the t zone, but that's really just a simple extra swipe... then all is well for the rest of the day> I have it in stay neutral and i'm fair - medium toned... when i tan, i'm more olive so I may need to adjust the color, but overall, i think i could get away with a few different colors of theirs... great product and DIDN'T make my skin break out!!

Great for oilier skins. I'm a PPP and Stay Buff is what I've used for years. This really makes your skin look polished but if you have the slightest dry patch, it will emphasize it. I like this but my skin is more combo than oily and can probably only wear this in the summer because my skin is a little drier in the winter.

text: I've received a review on my proposal for creating BaseMux and ASFMux from ensonic stating that BaseMux would need more than 3 months for designing discussions. So we agreed on changing that part of my proposal. What I now propose (and I'll be updating it in the SoC web App today) is to create ASFMux and an ASF RTP Payloader. Some people have stated that this wouldn't be enough work for SoC, and I'm proposing a "bonus" stage after ASFMux and ASFPay, by talking to ensonic and bilboed, they suggested me some tasks: - refactor wavenc to use gstriff ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423919 ) - add W64/R64 support ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519220 ) - asfdemux/qtdemux/matroskademux/oggdemux currently have ANY src pads, change it to specific caps I also considered to start writing a mpegpsmux (that wouldn't be ready by the send of summer, but that I could keep working on it after). It would be nice if I got some comments on this, provided that we are a few days before the proposal's deadline (no further changes to proposals also will not be allowed also). -- Thiago Sousa Santos Embedded Systems and Pervasive Computing Lab (Embedded) Center of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (CEEI) Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG)

By Mark Davidson
According to the Department of Energy, in the United States alone, commercial buildings consume 70 percent of all electricity.[i] How devices, equipment and systems are being used and managed on the inside of a corporate facility has as much an effect on energy consumption as building design.
The only way to guarantee that energy in an enterprise is utilized as efficiently as possible is to monitor, measure and control not only the IT infrastructure, but also the building-management systems and industrial controls.
Physical Boundaries Give Way to Borderless Networks and Devices
Building-management systems have conducted most enterprise energy management over the past several decades. But just as technological advances have made the physical office worker more virtual, physical boundaries such as buildings and campus locations are giving way to borderless IT networks and a broader community of business devices. This can be a challenge for facilities departments tasked with managing and reducing the rising costs and demand for energy across the enterprise. After all, if you can't see the energy being consumed by various IT devices, equipment and systems throughout the enterprise, how can you lower it?
Power-per-square-foot or power-per-user calculations have set the standard for determining how much energy a building's IT equipment consumes. But what if you could see actual energy consumption, utilization, cost and carbon emissions for every device that is plugged into your network? New solutions for enterprise energy management are making this possible, and delivering dramatic cost savings—up to 30% of the total energy lot.
New Solutions Provide a Global View of Energy Consumption
Previously, solutions to manage energy consumption and utilization at the IT-device level have been cost prohibitive, inadequate and difficult to implement. Today this is changing for the better. With technology available now, enterprises can transition their energy-management approach from "always on" to "available when needed" without impeding employee and business productivity or service level agreements (SLAs).

Hey guys and gals,
The thing I love the most about traveling is being able to see the rest of the world, if only for a brief moment!

There's nothing more interesting to me than seeing someplace I've never been with my own two eyes.

All words fell away. I pushed myself off the path, noticing for the first time the signs of earlier passage the matted earth, broken twigs. And I knew. My mouth turned cottony. I licked my lips, took three halting steps. My maddening, visual brain churned out pictures of colorless faces on a cold slab Debbie Lille, victim number one; Wanda Deminger, number three . . . He d been here. Dragged this one right where I now stumbled. I d entered a crime scene, and I could not bear to see what lay at the end. . . . This is a story about evil. This is a story about God's power. A string of murders terrorizes citizens in the Redding, California, area. The serial killer is cunning, stealthy. Masked by day, unmasked by night. Forensic artist Annie Kingston discovers the sixth body practically in her own back yard. Is the location a taunt aimed at her? One by one, Annie must draw the unknown victims for identification. Dread mounts. Who will be taken next? Under a crushing oppression, Annie and other Christians are driven to pray for God's intervention as they ve never prayed before. With page-turning intensity, Dead of Night dares to pry open the mind of evil. Twisted actions can wreak havoc on earth, but the source of wickedness lies beyond this world. Annie learns where the real battle takes place and that a Christian's authority through prayer is the ultimate, unyielding weapon.

Glendale - A Whitefish Bay man recently won in court after he sued the Cheesecake Factory over food poisoning.
According to a news release from Fox, O'Neill & Shannon, the firm representing the man:
Ghassan Batayneh became light headed, dizzy and passed out after eating a Mahi-mahi fish entrée at the Cheesecake Factory in the Bayshore Town Center. Doctors later diagnosed him with scombroid poisoning, a type of food poisoning often resulting from the consumption of spoiled fish.
Though the Cheesecake Factory initially denied any responsibility for Batayneh's episode, the company later settled for $15,526.88, which includes court costs and expenses.

Terence Davies' "Sunset Song" begins filming in Scotland
April 29, 2014 - 15:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Terence Davies's movie version of Scottish author Lewis Grassic Gibbon's 1932 classic novel Sunset Song has begun its location shoot in Scotland, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Billed as an intimate epic, Davies's much-anticipated film stars Agyness Deyn (Pusher), Peter Mullan (War Horse) and Kevin Guthrie (Sunshine On Leith). The novel is widely regarded as one of the most important works in Scottish literature. Sunset Song was adapted for television in 1971 by BBC Scotland but has never been made into a film.
The story is set in the early 20thCentury in north-east Scotland during a time of great social upheaval and unrest. Deyn plays a young woman coming of age as her family is beset by tragedy. The distant rumblings of World War One brings some of the worst aspects of the modern world to this remote rural community.
Sol Papadopoulos and Roy Boulter's Liverpool-based production banner Hurricane Films, IRIS Productions and SellOutPictures are mounting the project for the big screen.
Fortissimo Films is handling the international distribution rights for the film and will be shopping it to buyers in Cannes next month.
The film shoot began in New Zealand to capture the March harvest season followed by interior work at Filmland in Luxembourg.
The UK-Luxembourg co-production is financed by Luxembourg Film Fund, the British Film Institute's film fund, Creative Scotland, BBC Scotland and private equity.
The film is being produced by Boulter and Papadopoulos, together with Nicolas Steil from IRIS Productions and Bob Last of SellOutPictures. Lizzie Francke is the BFI Film Fund executive on the project.
Papadopoulos said: "With Terence's distinctive style, and themes that are as relevant today as they were in the early 20thCentury, we're confident Sunset Song will resonate with audiences the world over."
BFI Film Fund chief Ben Roberts described Davies as "one of our finest filmmakers, whose visually stunning and emotionally penetrating films have opened the eyes, hearts and minds of audiences around the world."
Added Roberts: "We are excited beyond belief by how he is working with the landscape and bringing his long-cherished Sunset Song to the big screen, supporting our fifth film with Scottish roots after Under The Skin, Sunshine On Leith, The Angels' Share and For Those In Peril.
The project got a boost last year after Hurricane Films got Working Title co-chairman Tim Bevan on board as part of the 2013 mentor set-up administered by independent charity organization Nesta (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts).
Bevan, one of the UK's biggest producer names, whose credits include Les Miserables, Atonement and Love, Actually, provided support in areas of project development and production for Hurricane Films through the mentoring process, focusing on the banner's next two features, Sunset Song and A Quiet Passion.

Devin Faraci from Birth. Death. Movies. recently spoke with Marvel Studios big-wig, Kevin Fiege about how the Wakandan King, Black Panther, will be entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"It is a role that he is still in the beginning phases of taking on, it's a mantle he is only beginning to take on because his father is older."
It sounds like T'Challa, played by Chadwick Boseman, will be preparing to take over regency of his nation as his father begins to look toward abdication. Of course, Black Panther has a solo movie scheduled for late in Marvel's Phase Three, but we should see him sooner.
"The reason we introduced him in Civil War is because we needed a third party. We needed fresh eyes who wasn't embedded with the Avengers and who has a very different point of view than either Tony or Steve. We said, 'We need somebody like Black Panther… why don't we just use Black Panther?' That's how it went in the development process."
With Thor gone taking care of Asgard, Steve and Tony will look to T'Challa to be their counsel and mediator. Let's hope he's up to the task before any Avengers end up dying.
"Today, pre-Civil War, post-Ultron I think he and his father are saying, 'A bunch of vibranium just got out of here and wreaked a lot of havoc. Maybe we can't stay behind these borders anymore, maybe we have to stick our heads out and make at least an attempt to be a part of the rest of the world right now, while at the same time protecting our people.'"
Good luck, Black Panther, you're going to need it.
Everyone involved in Marvel movies is always secretly terrified they'll be the one to release some secret information, a crime punishable by passive aggressive tweets.
This time around, though, it wasn't some actor or director just trying to get through yet another deluge of questions from everyone imaginable. Instead, Marvel head honcho, Kevin Fiege let the title for Gaurdians of the Galaxy 2, slip.
"We start shooting Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 in February-March 2016."
Of course, the title is referencing Star-Lord's childhood, 70's mix tape, Awesome Mix Vol. 1 a playlist that added an amazing amount of hilarious juxtaposition.
It was such a key to the movie's success, Star-Lord is gifted a 2nd Volume by his dying mother. We just hope Fiege and James Gunn have loaded the sequel with all the classic dance hits a space outlaw needs to jam.
And just in case you didn't fully believe, James Gunn confirmed the title on Twitter.
Yes, the official title for the @Guardians sequel is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. Nice detective work, @colliderfrosty, etc! You got us!— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) June 29, 2015

We are all well aware that Netflix has agreed to pay Comcast in order to get direct access to its customers, but it looks like the popular TV and movie streaming service will be paying another ISP very soon. According to Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, Netflix and his company are in talks right now to finalize a paid interconnect agreement for direct peering to Verizon customers.
Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith said in a blog post today that President Obama's proposed changes to how the National Security Agency collects and stores both phone and internet data is not enough.
"Despite the President's reform efforts and our ability to publish more information, there has not yet been any public commitment by either the U.S. or other governments to renounce the attempted hacking of Internet companies," Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith said. "This has been and remains a major concern across the tech sector."
Earlier this week Alienware said that its Steam Machines - custom PCs that sport Valve's steam OS, hardware to support it, and a nifty Steam Controller - were not upgradeable and that it would use a release schedule similar to the iPad to get new hardware out there. Today the company is saying that there was a bit of a miscommunication in its original message.
What the company meant to say, apparently, is that you CAN upgrade the Alienware-branded Steam Machine, but it won't be an easy thing to do.
The great debate about the fate of the former NSA contractor who leaked documents detailing the agency's spying programs on the Internet, mobile phones and even in video games rages on. Some believe that Edward Snowden is a patriot and a whistleblower who deserves a full presidential pardon, while others believe that he should be get the maximum penalty under the law for treason and espionage.
Here's the problem with letting a bunch of different PC manufacturers make something and use a brand like "Steam Machines" - you are going to get some wildly different products and price ranges that can be pretty darned costly for rank and file consumers whose last names aren't "Rockefeller," "Bloomberg," "Trump," etc. That's what is happening with Alienware's version(s) of the Steam Machine.
Two of the companies that had the biggest buzz coming out of the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week were Oculus (for a new version of its Oculus Rift VR gaming headset) and Steam (for its Steam Machines and Steam Controller), so it is interesting that Valve has announced plans to bring the two PC gaming devices together. Steam is now testing an experimental mode that uses the virtual reality headset Oculus Rift in the most recent Steam Client Beta.
Earlier this week we reported that Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer of Finland-based antivirus provider F-Secure, had publicly canceled a talk (entitled, "Governments as Malware Authors") at the upcoming RSA Conference USA 2014 in protest of news that the RSA received $10 million to make an NSA-favored random number generator the default setting in its BSAFE crypto tool.
While tablets seem to be popular with very young children, some pediatricians and other health experts are expressing concerns that these devices may be interfering with early childhood development and may even lead to some children developing attention problems. Of course, the research on all of this is still mostly incomplete because the iPad and other popular devices have not been out long enough to determine what the long-term effects of usage among children really are.
According to a recent interview with Oculus VR chief executive Brendan Iribe on GamesBeat, John Carmack is spearheading Oculus VR's mobile efforts. Carmack left id Software earlier in the year to work for the company out of its Dallas offices, and apparently he is spending a fair amount of his time focusing on mobile platforms.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has put the brakes on a plan by AT&T to raise prices for "special access" customers, which could have led to a rate hike to businesses and cell phone users. AT&T had planned to make that hike happen today, but the FCC stepped in and suspended the action for five months while it conducts an investigation on the matter.
In a recent interview on TechRadar, Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey says that console systems - both current and next-generation are too limited to work with the company's Oculus Rift virtual reality headset technology. Luckey goes on to say that the biggest problem with consoles is that their level of hardware power remains unchanged for many years, whereas PC systems are constantly upgraded and evolving.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), who serves as the chairman of the Senate committee that oversees transportation issues, released a statement today cautioning the use of iPads and other tablet devices on U.S. flights. Rockefeller warned that having access to the Internet and entertainment during flights could impact safety.
The Federal Aviation Administration has decided that passengers can now use Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) during all phases of flight. The agency recently reviewed the long-standing ban on the use of devices during take-off and landing, but found that there was no scientific evidence to back up claims that such devices interfered with aircraft electronics and communication systems.
Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has fined Samsung and two local PR firms for what it described as an organized campaign to post positive reviews of its products, while maligning competitors' products. Samsung reportedly carried this plan out through two local public relations firms who used a "large number of hired writers and designated employees" to get the job done. Samsung and the two local firms were fined $100,000 each, though the original fine it faced was much higher - as much as $1 million.
The beta version of Nvidia ShadowPlay will be available Oct. 28 alongside version 1.7 of the GeForce Experience software, Nvidia announced today.
A newer Nvidia graphics card like the GeForce GTX 600 series or higher is required because it uses the GPUs on those cards that feature an on-board H.264 video encoder Nvidia says that the software is capable of recording footage (in the background) at up to 60 frames per second in 1080p, with a performance hit of between 5 and 10 percent.
Former Valve Inventor Jeri Ellsworth and programmer Rick Johnson have launched a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign to raise money for CastAR, their take on augmented and virtual reality glasses.
Wargaming has teamed up with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum to share its newly acquired exhibit – the Dornier Do17 bomber - with the world. Using an "Augmented Reality App" created by Wargaming called Apparition: Dornier17, visitors can see a full scale, 3D vision of the aircraft at various locations around the world. In June, the Museum successfully lifted the only known German Dornier Do17 bomber from the waters of the Goodwin Sands, three miles off the coast of England.
A new study by the London School of Economics suggest that the movie, music, and video games industries have been exaggerating the impact that file sharing has had on their bottom line and found that - for some creative industries - copyright infringement may actually be helping to boost revenues.
Researchers found that internet-based revenues have been a large part of the music industry's growth since 2004 because the industry has adopted methods of distributing and consuming content modeled after file-sharing services such as BitTorrent, Pirate Bay, and Napster.
No matter what side of the issue you are on, the looming government shutdown over raising the debt ceiling in Washington D.C. may shut down some important services but it will never stop the Nation Security Agency's (NSA) spying programs. At least that's what this report in The Hill notes. A government shutdown is imminent on Oct.
As part of its Tokyo Game Show press conference today Sony Computer Entertainment revealed that it will be launching the Gaikai cloud-streaming service in North America next year. The service will launch with a specific selection of PlayStation 3 games, playable on the PS4, PlayStation Vita TV, and PS Vita. The announcement was made by Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, who compared the streaming games service to Netflix.
Worcester, Massachusetts-based Becker College and the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute (MassDiGI) have been awarded a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) to help build the MassDiGI New Ventures Center (NVC). Becker College also announced that it will match the EDA grant, making a total of $2.8 million available to build the state-of-the-art facility.
Sony's micro-console will not be available outside of Asia right away, according to a report on Techon (as unearthed by PS3Trophies). Speaking at a round-table press event on Sept. 10, Sony Computer Entertainment President and CEO Andrew House said that the PS Vita will be released only in Asia, starting with Japan - at launch.
During a press conference this morning in Japan, Sony announced a new micro-console called the PlayStation Vita TV. The 6.5cm by 10.5cm micro-console utilizes the PS Vita chipset and its system software, and supports the Dualshock 3 controller. The device allows 1,300 PS Vita, PSP, and classic PlayStation One games to be played on a television screen. The PS Vita TV will also support movies services, eBooks, and the PlayStation Plus service. Some PS4 games will be playable via Remote Play as well.
It looks like PlayStation 4 owners won't have to worry about Sony ever considering support for Oculus Rift because the company is working on its own VR headset. According to CVG, Sony will reveal the last bit of its hardware strategy for the PS4 at the Tokyo Game Show by revealing its own custom-built virtual reality headset.
President Barack Obama will soon choose members of a panel that will "independently review" the National Security Agency's surveillance policies. The President announced the plan to form such a committee earlier this month at a press conference, and promised that it would be comprised of "high level group of outside experts." But early indications of his possible picks for this committee show that some of the choices are anything but outsiders. In fact, several have worked in past administrations, and at least one worked in two administrations.

The closure was postponed last month to allow students and teachers to continue using their regular routes to school.
INDEPENDENCE – Grayson County students will pay more for their lunch next year, but not by much – just a nickel.
Stephanie Munsey, food service coordinator, told the school board at its June 8 meeting that the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires that school systems annually review paid meal prices.
RADFORD –– Nine members of the Galax high school boys' soccer team graduated Saturday morning. The suddenly-former GHS students still had one more course to repeat that afternoon before calling it a day.
Galax tidied up a bit of early postgraduate work at Radford University's Cupp Stadium, thoroughly dismantling Washington and Lee 8-2 and winning its second straight Group 1A state championship.
LYNCHBURG –– To the discerning reader, a box score can carry a wealth of information. With a bit of help from the mind's eye, two inches of small print can paint a pretty basic picture of how a particular game played out.
Postal workings
I was reading Mr. Morton's [letter about] the post office. That's just the typical company run by the government. I agree with him. That's the reason FedEx and UPS is killing them on delivery times and pickups and everything else. You can't expect any more out of them. They are run by the government. It's your tax dollars at work.
Dear Grayson County School Board, I am 16 and my best friend is a teacher.
I met her when I was in seventh grade at Piney Creek Elementary School in Alleghany County, N.C. We are two extremely different people, but there is something in her that turns on lights when my dark is too deep to see any further ahead.
I was scorekeeper for her as she coached the girls basketball team. While on the team activity bus, other girls sat with their friends, but I sat in the front seat, next to her.
INDEPENDENCE — The Grayson County Board of Supervisors has once again offered the county school system a $1.1 million supplement to balance its fiscal year 2016 budget.
Should the school board accept it, the money would allow the system to give teachers raises and reinstate a building trades program that was cut due to funding shortages, as well as cover expenditures that will carry forward, settle debt and pay for school resource officers.

[0001] This application is a continuation of common-owned, co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 09/745,179 ("Condenser Microphone Assembly") filed on Dec. 20, 2000, naming Kelly Q. Kay and Mark W. Gilbert as inventors, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to microphones, and more particularly to condenser microphone assemblies, such as a backplate with integral spacer made From semiconductor components.
[0003] Condenser or capacitance microphones are widely used in the audio, electronics and instrumentation industries. Condenser microphones include a flexible diaphragm or membrane and a rigid backplate that may contain one or more openings. Sound waves cause the diaphragm to move, resulting in a pressure variation between the membrane and the backplate. This pressure variation results in a difference in the charge between the diaphragm, and the difference in charge is converted to an electrical signal that corresponds to the sound wave. As is known in the art, conventional diaphragms may be constructed From metal films or metallized polymer films.
[0004] For a variety of applications, it is desirable to manufacture small, high quality condenser microphones. As is known in the art, openings in the backplate may be created by drilling or punching holes. Controlling the precise size and location of such holes, which can be critical, becomes more difficult as the holes become smaller.
[0005] As is also known in the art, entire condenser microphones, including diaphragms, can be formed on silicon substrates through MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) fabrication methods, which is the formation of mechanical components based on silicon integrated circuit manufacturing processes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,889,872 discloses a capacitive microphone formed with semiconductor processing techniques. A diaphragm is formed as part of the fabrication by applying a polysilicon layer on a silicon nitride layer. The polysilicon layer is patterned or etched to form a diaphragm.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,870,482 explains challenges associated with maintaining highly compliant and precisely positioned diaphragms fabricated from a silicon wafer. That patent discloses an alternative solid state condenser microphone with a semiconductor support structure.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 6,075,867 discloses a micromechanical microphone with multiple diaphragms. To address problems of humidity, dust and dirt, the microphone includes two sealing membranes on either side of a transducer. However, an environmental membrane in front of a sensing transducer may affect audio characteristics, such as signal to noise ratio, frequency response, and sensitivity.
[0008] The formation of complete condenser microphones through MEMS processing is extremely difficult and expensive. Moreover, condenser microphones constructed entirely from MEMS processing often exhibit inferior audio and reliability characteristics.
[0009] The present invention solves many of the aforementioned problems by a microphone assembly comprising a housing, a semiconductor backplate mounted in the housing and a flexible diaphragm located above the backplate. The semiconductor spacer is integrally formed with the backplate and intermediate the backplate and the diaphragm. The backplate and spacer is not integrally formed with the diaphragm, the diaphragm frame, or the housing.
[0010] The diaphragm is stretched over and adhesively affixed to the diaphragm frame. The diaphragm frame maintains tension in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is comprised of a metal film or metallized polymer film, and the diaphragm is both a protective environmental barrier and a sensing electrode of a capacitive electroacoustic transducer. The housing may be made of metal, and the backplate made of silicon. The spacer may further comprise an electrically insulating layer, such as silicon dioxide or a fluoropolymer.
[0011] The backplate includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side portion and a plurality of openings extending from the top portion of the backplate to the bottom portion of the backplate. In one embodiment, the plurality of openings are located along the side portion of the backplate and are radially outward of the spacer. The backplate may be circular, rectangular or another desirable shape. The spacer may consist of an annular wall, a series of arcuate walls, a series of arcuate extensions or a rectangular wall.
[0012] The housing comprises an upper lip, and the diaphragm frame comprises a metal ring positioned against the upper lip. The assembly may further comprise a metal contact on the bottom portion of the backplate. Furthermore, the invention may include a spring positioned between the backplate and a lower portion of the housing.
[0013] In addition, the invention may comprise a transistor coupled to the housing or the backplate. The microphone assembly may also comprise an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) coupled to the backplate, and the ASIC may include a transistor.
[0014] These as well as other novel advantages, details, embodiments, features and objects of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from following the detailed description of the invention, the attached claims and accompanying drawings, listed herein, which are useful in explaining the invention.
[0015] In the following text and drawings, wherein similar reference numerals denote similar elements throughout the several views thereof, the present invention is explained with reference to illustrative embodiments, in which:
[0016]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a microphone assembly made in accordance with the present invention;
[0017]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the microphone assembly made in accordance with the present invention
[0018]FIG. 3 is a plan view of a first embodiment of a backplate made in accordance with the present invention;
[0019]FIG. 4 is a plan view of a second embodiment of a backplate made in accordance with the present invention;
[0020]FIG. 5 is a plan view of a third embodiment of a backplate made in accordance with the present invention;
[0021]FIG. 5A is an enlargement of the area shown by the region 104 in FIG. 5; and
[0022]FIG. 6 is a plan view of a fourth embodiment of a backplate made in accordance with the present invention.
[0023] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, in a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a membrane or diaphragm 10 that is separated from a backplate 12. The diaphragm 10 is flexible and is exposed to the air. A protective grille (not shown) may be mounted above the diaphragm 10. The diaphragm 10 is made of a known material for constructing microphone diaphragms, such as metal film or metallized polymer film.
[0024] The backplate 12 is rigid or fixed. Integrally formed with the backplate 12 are spacers, shown for example at 14 in FIG. 1 and 15 in FIG. 2. The diaphragm 10 is separated from the backplate 12 by a narrow air gap 13 (shown only in FIG. 2) defined by the spacers 14, 15. The backplate 12 and spacer 14 are fabricated, for example, from semiconductor material, such as silicon, by batch processing techniques. Referring to FIG. 1, a top region 28 of the spacer 14 includes a layer of electrically insulating material, such as silicon dioxide or a fluoropolymer, such as TEFLON. Similarly, referring to FIG. 2, a top region 30 of the spacer 15 includes a similar insulating layer. The spacer may take the form of many shapes, such as a wall or a ridge.
[0025] The membrane 10 and the backplate 12 form a capacitor, also known as a condenser. When a sound wave hits the membrane 10, the membrane moves, (causing a variation in height of the air gap 13 between the membrane 10 and the backplate 12. This gap variation results in a change in the capacitance of the condenser formed by the membrane 10 and the backplate 12. If a fixed or controlled charge Q is maintained on the capacitor, a voltage will be formed across the capacitor that will then vary proportionally to the change in the height of the air gap 13.
[0026] The diaphragm 10 is stretched over a diaphragm frame 16 and glued or adhesively affixed to the diaphragm frame 16. The diaphragm frame 16 maintains tension in the diaphragm 16. The diaphragm frame 16 is positioned between the spacer 14 and an upper edge 18 of a housing 20. The housing 20 is a known housing not manufactured from batch processing techniques, and is preferably made of metal, not silicon. The housing 20 serves as an electrical ground.
[0027] The backplate 12 may include openings or holes indicated by arrows 22, 24 and 26. These openings allow air to pass from the area above the backplate 12 to the area below the backplate 12.
[0028] The backplate 12 shown in FIG. 1 is rectangular or square. The backplate is situated in the housing 20 by a nest 32. An opening 34 between the backplate 12 and the nest 32 also allows air to pass from the area above the backplate 12 to the area below the backplate 12. In one embodiment, materials. such as metal, could be −9 selectively deposited in the circular portion indicated by the numeral 40.
[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, a spring 42 is used to mechanically bias the backplate 12 against a bottom portion 44 of the housing 20, which is a PC board. The spring 42 causes the spacer 15 of the backplate 12 to be pushed into the diaphragm 10 and the diaphragm frame or ring 16, which consequently press against the upper edge or lip 18 of the housing 20. In this manner, the diaphragm is coupled to the spacer 15. Thus, together, the spring 42, the diaphragm frame 16, the upper lip 18 of the housing 20, the housing 20 and the PC board 44 cooperate to secure the diaphragm 10 against the insulating layer 30 of the spacer 15. The diaphragm 10 is not integrally formed with the spacer 15.
[0030] The microphone assembly preferably employs a single diaphragm 10 that serves as both a protective environmental barrier and a sensing electrode of a capacitive electroacoustic transducer. In contrast, prior art systems of silicon fabricated condenser microphones employ either no protective environmental barrier or more than one diaphragm or membrane, one of which serves as an environmental barrier and one of which does not.
[0031] A variety of shapes and configurations may be used for the diaphragm 10 and backplate 12. For example in FIG. 1 the diaphragm frame 16 is round and in the form of an annular ring and the backplate 12 is square. One skilled in the art will −10 appreciate that the diaphragm frame 16 and backplate 12 could include other shapes depending on the shape of the housing 20 and the other components of the invention.
[0032] Because the diaphragm 10 is not fabricated or processed as part of the backplate 12, the diaphragm is free from stress associate with fabricating and mounting the backplate 12. In addition, the tension on the diaphragm 10 is independent of the internal stresses in the backplate 12. As is recognized in the art, these uncontrolled internal stresses are a common undesirable consequence of semiconductor fabrication processing. Thus, the diaphragm 10 is free floating relative to stress parallel to the face of the backplate 12 or the face of the diaphragm 10. By mounting the diaphragm 10 on a suitable diaphragm frame 16 that is independent from the backplate 12 and spacer 15, the tensile stress of the diaphragm 10 is free from influences from the packaging and the backplate.
[0033]FIGS. 3-6 illustrate alternative embodiments with different arrangements of the spacers and holes on a backplate. As would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, the location, number and size of holes affects the audio characteristics of the microphone. MEMS will allow improved control of the hole size and placement, which will enhance the ability to control frequency response and sensitivity.
[0034] Referring to FIG. 3, holes 80 may be located radially inward of spacers 82. Spacers 82 may be small circular protrusions.
[0035] Alternatively, FIG. 4 shows holes 90 and notches 92 along a side of a backplate 95 that allow air to pass from above to below the backplate. FIG. 4 also shows an annular spacer wall 94.
[0036]FIG. 5 shows a backplate with no holes radially inward of a series of arcuate spacer portions 100. Instead, air passes from above the backplate to below the backplate via openings 102. Arrows 106, 108 and no in FIG. 5A, which is an enlargement of the area 104 in FIG. 5, depict the flow of air from the top of a backplate 112 to the underside of the backplate 112. FIG. 6 further illustrates a rectangular or square backplate 130 with a square or rectangular spacer wall and grid or holes, one of which is shown by 134. As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, the spacers may also be or arcuate portions of a wall sufficient to support the diaphragm 10 and diaphragm frame 16.
[0037] Referring again to FIG. 2, the backplate 12 is externally biased at output 140 with a voltage bias. The backplate could be externally biased with direct current (DC) voltage or a radio frequency (RF) bias. In one embodiment, a transistor or FET (not shown) is mounted to the PC board 44 within the area defined by the PC board 44 and the housing 20. The FET could also be located outside the housing 20 or directly on the bottom of the backplate 12. Generally, locating the FET closer to the −12 backplate should improve noise characteristics of the invention. The unit could also be biased by an electret, for example, a charged or polarized layer on the backplate 12 (not shown).
[0038] The underside of the backplate 12 may include contact regions 142, which are preferably metal, that can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. The spring 42 may provide an electrical contact from the contact region 142 to the region 140.
[0039] Referring again to FIG. 1, an integrated circuit (IC) or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 180 could be mounted beneath the PC board (not shown). The ASIC could contain a transistor, such as a FET. The ASIC could also include a preamplifier to increase the electrical output of the microphone and/or modify the response of the microphone.
[0040] The ASIC could also include an analog to digital converter (AID). The purpose of the AID is to convert the analog output of the microphone, or microphone preamplifier, to a digital signal that can either be used as a direct digital output from the microphone, or a feed to digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry. The purpose of the DSP is to modify the output of the microphone after an AID. The output can either be a digital or analog or both. Specific applications can include equalization, signal compression, frequency dependent signal compression, and self-calibration.
[0041] A voltage step up circuit could also be used to allow a readily available compact battery source (e.g. a 9 v battery) to provide an elevated voltage (e.g. 200 v) for externally DC biasing a condenser.
[0042] Another embodiment of the invention would include a radio frequency (RF) biasing circuit to provide a bias voltage that oscillates with an RF wavelength. A further purpose for such a circuit is to allow the microphone to output a RF modulated signal for wireless transmission.
[0043] Thus, different backplates and different ASIC circuits that could be combined in the housing 20 would permit a variety of potential operations and functions of the microphone.
[0044] In the foregoing specification, the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. Although the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications, embodiments or variations of the invention can be practiced within the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, therefore, to be regarded in an illustrated rather than restrictive sense. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited except as may be necessary in view of the appended claims.

So my BF is apart of aband (a real one) and they're going on this concert benefit tour overseas and he doesn't get back until 2days AFTER the birth of our 1st newborn son!!! At first he wasn't going to go becuase of the obvious, but he has already signed the contract... He wants to go because he's getting paid alot to do this, and it would help us a lot financially! Money is money and yes we need this, but this is the birth of our son... and he won't even be there unless nature provides a 2-3 day wait! We've had to go through alot with this pregnancy already, and some things haven't been fair enough as it is! He says he feels like he is making the right decision, but he feels I will have resentment for him not being here...and to be honest he's right! Not being here for doctor appiontments because you have to work is one thing, but the BIRTH!!!!!???? I'm totally heartbroken, and angry about this...
omg!!! I don't think i can handle this!!!

The chances that you'll deliver on your actual due date are really slim. Unless you have a c-section or induction scheduled.

Army wives seem to manage while their DHs' are overseas. I know, it sucks whatever way you look at it. Do you have a close friend or family member who can be there with you? If you really need the money, isn't he making sure you and your son are taken care of? Better he is there one or two days late, than not around at all (or months later). Besides, your son may come late, they say the first tends to come later. Take a deep breath, and try to relax. I know it's not ideal, but don't let this be what dampens the joy of your upcoming arrival.

I'm a FTM, too. My doc keeps saying most FTM go over their due date. If he does absolutely have to be away and you have your LO before your BF comes back, could you maybe Skype or FaceTime? I know it wouldn't be as personal but that way he'd be able to see baby and you ASAP! And who knows, maybe there will be bad enough weather to cancel the tour (but safe enough to return home, of course) orrrr maybe he will come back early and surprise you!

I agree with everyone else, chances of you delivering on that date are pretty out there, my first child was LATE, and for the most part all my friend first babies were late.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty's political decision to declare April "Abortion Recovery Month" for the women of Minnesota is unwelcomed by many, to say the least. Now Exhale, a nonprofit promoting well-being after abortion, has declared April "Abortion Wellbeing Month."
The results of a study released this month in the journal Pediatrics shows breastfeeding can save money and lives. But along with facts and figures, we need rights and equality to increase breastfeeding rates in the U.S.
Breastfeeding may not be a panacea to maternal and infant health disparities but it is a proven way to improve health outcomes. But to make it real, we have to holistically support new mothers and their babies in breastfeeding.
A new study says breastfeeding for 6 months saves lives and medical expenses. Is it missing other issues?
The White House Council on Women and Girls hosted the White House Forum on Workplace Flexibility today to "begin an urgently needed, national conversation" on a series of workplace flexibility issues that affect most Americans in the labor force today.
What does the law providing protection for women who choose to breastfeed in federal buildings really mean?
Can texting improve your health? An unprecedented public-private partnership begets a new media effort to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal health in the United States.
A new web site collects "unbelievable but true" comments made to birthing, pregnant and postpartum women by their ob-gyns, midwives, and lactation consultants. From the looks of it, it's not hard to see why we've got a crisis of confidence in this country when it comes to women challenging the medical status-quo around childbirth.
The news reports say that Stacey Anvarinia, sentenced yesterday, was arrested back in February of this year for breastfeeding her baby while drunk. But Anvarinia's blood alcohol level wasn't tested, breastfeeding with alcohol in one's system is not necessarily a negative for the baby and, oh yeah, it's also not a crime.
August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. It's time to look at the ways in which feminism and breastfeeding are related and how health care reform can address this public health imperative.
