Swedish post-production studio Riviera is using Image Systems' Nucoda Fuse for digitally finishing of a number of high-profile projects. Riviera opened its Nucoda DI suite in December to extend its established audio capabilities to include digital color grading of film and TV productions.
One of the first major productions to be graded at Riviera was "Arne Dahl," a TV drama scheduled to air on SVT and Germany's ZDF later in the year. Produced by Filmlance International, "Arne Dahl" is a crime series that follows the famous books by the writer of the same name. The first two feature-length episodes based on the book "Misterioso" were graded by colorist Ola Bäccman on Nucoda Fuse at Riviera. He will grade the second two episodes at the facility in the coming weeks.
Bäccman has also graded a short film entitled "While You Were Gone," produced by Medima Film, which will be screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Nucoda Fuse first shipped last summer and is already being used by a number of post-production facilities.

The brother of producer/director Alexander Korda, Zoltan Korda achieved recognition in his own right as a director of action films, first in England and later in Hollywood. He was the second of three sons, born Zoltan Kellner in 1895 in Túrkeve, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The death of their father threw the Kellner family into personal and financial chaos, and Zoltan and his younger brother, Vincent (later a top art director), along with their mother, were forced to live in the home of their paternal grandfather, a cruel and ignorant man whose influence prevented either boy from realizing anything like his potential for years after. Meanwhile, older sibling Sandor Kellner, taking a new, less ethnic last name, established himself as a writer and journalist, and finally a filmmaker as Alexander Korda.
Zoltan served in the cavalry during the First World War, experience that he put to good use as a filmmaker in the decades that followed. He followed Alexander Korda into the film business, first as a cameraman and later an editor; he directed a pair of movies in Germany at the close of the silent era, and when Alex Korda established London Films in 1932, Zoltan came along. He tried his hand as a director in several genres, including comedy and romantic drama, but it was in adventure films that he distinguished himself, starting with Sanders of the River (1935), a story of intrigue and conflict on the African continent, starring Leslie Banks and Paul Robeson. That movie, which featured some fairly extensive location shooting, became the first in a series of adventure films through which Korda would distinguish himself across the next two decades. But it was also one of his most controversial and frustrating films, owing to the differing views that he and his brother Alex had of colonialism and the British Empire -- Alex Korda loved the empire, and felt the colonial peoples were well served by the British, where as Zoltan held deep sympathy for the colonized people and their desires for independence and self-determination. In the case of Sanders of the River, Alex as producer and head of the studio had the final authority, and he recut the movie and edited it in such a way so that Robeson's character -- a would-be African tribal chief, proud and strong -- was made to seem subservient to Banks' white British colonial official. Even though the film got Zoltan a Best Director nomination at the Venice Film Festival, he was unhappy with the final cut of the movie and Robeson was mortified, so much so that he spent a decade distancing himself from it and never made another movie for Alexander Korda.
Zoltan Korda's next notable achievement was as the co-director of Elephant Boy (1937), which garnered him the Best Director award at the Venice Film Festival. That movie also introduced a young Indian actor named Sabu, who was popular enough in his own right to justify a follow-up effort. The Drum (aka Drums, 1938) was set in the contemporary British Raj and, in addition to Sabu, also starred Raymond Massey, Roger Livesey, and Valerie Hobson, and was shot in Technicolor. It was on this picture that Korda's experiences in the cavalry, and his ability to deploy men for maximum effectiveness, came to the fore. And on his next film, The Four Feathers (1939), he was able to put his military experience to even better use. The battle scenes in the films he directed, including The Four Feathers and Drums, as well as parts of The Thief of Bagdad (1940), helped make those movies among the most exciting in history.
When Alex Korda transferred his production company to America in 1940, Zoltan (and brother Vincent) came along, and it was there that the middle Korda brother fully came into his own as a filmmaker. He directed Sahara (1943), starring Humphrey Bogart, for Columbia Pictures, which proved to be one of the screen legend's finest films. Zoltan Korda's health, which was never very strong, began to fal

by Burke, Jackie C.
Publisher:Macmillan General Reference
When women decided that they wanted to compete in horse sports as equals with men, it took courage and perseverance. The women on both sides of the Atlantic who fought to compete in the male-dominated sports of show jumping, dressage, eventing, and racing are the subject of "Equal to the Challenge." Jackie Burke interviewed many of these extraordinary women, and the book is richer for their simple, moving accounts of how they achieved their goals. Many had to endure rejection, humiliation, physical danger, and privation in order to take part in the horse sports they loved. Some women struggled doubly, since they had to overcome physical and financial handicaps. Young women and not just riders will find in this book worthy role models for our time. Jackie C. Burke is a journalist who has been involved in horse sports all her life and knows just about.

Phil's focus, popularity affected by gambling link?
Phil Mickelson has been linked to an illegal gambling operation. Will his focus and his popularity among fans take a hit? Watch Morning Drive on Golf Channel.insider Tim Rosaforte, you're all over it. You actually reached out to Phil Mickelson yesterday afternoon. Was texting back and forth with him. He said this was the first time he's heard of it, and in no surprise, referred me to his attorney, Glenn Cohen. Todd, you know Glen, he's a pit bull. He did as expected, he told me no comment, as did the PGA Tour . I think the perspective we have to have is, we enter into this next phase of the Mickelson drama is that a, not charged, not under investigation and two, this is not the first time that the Mickelson camp has had to circle its wagons. Yeah, you're exactly right. when you go back to what you were talking about and this happened about a year ago and this was at. The memorial. The FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission were investigating Phil Mickelson along with Carl Icahn, who's a prominent investor and Billy Walters, who's a very famous gambler, so again, another tie to gambling there So it's interesting now, you know he has this looming over him, Karen, what will this be with him moving forward? Will this be a distraction for him on the golf course , in your opinion? Well, I believe last time he said at the memorial that it was somewhat of a distraction and that he did let it affect his game and so Potentially having had that experience once already he can move forward from that and not let that affect him this time and I would say that from a personal perspective obviously I've never been in trouble with the FBI or anything like that but there were some things that happened personally off the golf course But that can affect you, but for me, the golf course was always a bit of an escape. I used to go there just to escape the rest of the world and escapeto the questioning from the media. Now, we're gonna go out to Rhode Island , and welcome in our Gary Williams, who is there to talk about. What is a great event, the CVS Health Charity Classic. A lot of great names you're gonna talk to, Gary. But wanna get your take on the news that came out yesterday in regards to Phil Mickelson . Well good morning to everybody. And Todd, I thought your observation was the most important one. It's how he handles these questions.

In an indictment rendered by a Grand Jury in the Western District of Missouri on September 9, 2010, five Missouri men allegedly participated in torturing a mentally disabled woman online or in person over a multi-year period when the victim was between the ages of 16 and 24. Among the charges are: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud or Coercion, Forced Labor Trafficking, Transportation for Sexual Activity, and Conspiracy. The allegations involve sex with a minor, drug and firearms possession, forced prostitution, sexual abuse, and torture to the point that the victim suffered a heart attack. These activities should not be confused with consensual BDSM. People who engage in BDSM and other similar activities do so as consenting adults and in a safe, sane, and consensual manner. BDSM activities are not violent specifically because all participants can stop any time they wish. Millions of people engage in BDSM: according to the Kinsey Institute's New Report on Sex, between 5-10% of the adult population engages in BDSM on at least an occasional basis.NCSF strongly condemns criminals who commit violence and engage in non-consensual activities. We encourage the media to remember that the large community of consenting adults who engage in BDSM activities should not be conflated with these alleged crimes. Ordinary people do BDSM – parents, co-workers, friends, and neighbors. But because of the stigma against BDSM, most people are closeted and don't speak out about their interests because they fear condemnation and discrimination.Article:http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/article_4d0f1a16-7bcd-5860-afdf-3e78140bdff7.html?mode=storyTo read the Federal Indictment:http://www.scribd.com/doc/37203030/Bagley-IndictmentThe NCSF is committed to creating a political, legal and social environment in the US that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions. The NCSF aims to advance the rights of, and advocate for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, Swing, and Polyamory Communities. We pursue our vision through direct services, education, advocacy, and outreach, in conjunction with our partners, to directly benefit these communities.

It is certainly beneficial to him that this happened in the United States and not in Russia.
How true this is! Prayers for him.As someone in health care, my experience has been that if one is not insured & in need of emergency surgery like this, most likely the hospital would absorb the cost and the rest of our taxes will go up. We really do have "socialized medicine," although in a roundabout way.

Sense of style: How to look cool at any age
Apply common sense, simplicity and attention to detail to overcome inappropriate attire and erase years
Stylist Sherrie Mathieson bans these from the closets of older women.
Jewel tones: Aging.
Pastels. Only for preppy shirts and babies.
Denim skirts: Cutsey.
Gold buttons: '80s redo.
Fake concho belts and tricked-up Western boots: Tacky.
Metallic purses: Gaudy.
Double-breasted jacket: Never as flattering as a single-breasted one.
Asymmetrical hem: Never classic.
Sensible shoes: Deadly. Try kitten heels, boots or flats.
Stylist Sherrie Mathieson thinks clothes designed for older women should be put through a shredder. "(The makers) think that women as they get older need embellishment," she said, like a lady-like jacket encrusted with stones, sparkle and embroidery.
"That's what makes it look old," she said. "I think they need good fit and quality and to know what is classic and how to mix classic with trendiness," she said.
But the national taste level has deteriorated, she feels. Taste has come to mean merely preference, and refinement is a word rarely used at all.
Mathieson, an award-winning costume designer in film and TV, has spent the past 15 years as a stylist. Celebrities she has dressed or costumed include Susan Sarandon, Sela Ward, Christine Lahti and Brooke Shields. Her book "Forever Cool" (Clarkson Potter: $22.95) is one of the few style guides aimed at baby-boomer men and women.
It's fun, easily digestible and offers nearly 200 makeovers that label exactly the problem and how she fixed it. The back of the book shows where to shop and gives a price rating.
"Simplicity is the key to being modern, and then you can add well-chosen accessories, " she said. "If women follow what I'm talking about, it will take 10 years off. I've proven it works."
Mathieson's new book, "Steal This Style" (Clarkson Potter: $25.95) is due out in April and works with mothers and daughters. She shows how moms can steal youthful style tricks from daughters, and they in turn steal secrets of a timeless wardrobe.
"An 86-year-old woman can be outfitted from J. Crew and a 28-year-old can wear almost the same outfit," she said. "You embellish with up-to-date accessories and mix expensive clothes with inexpensive clothes."
Favorite classics are safari jackets, trench jackets, tunic tops, twin sets, Audrey Hepburn-style tapered pants; crisp, collared shirts; denim jackets, and jeans in a bootleg cut (which has become a classic). She may add current accessories such as a large, interesting necklace; stacked bracelets or cuff, booties, or a contemporary bag.
Mathieson's makeovers rarely set up straw men. Part of the fun is rethinking outfits we see around us every day and, all too often, wear ourselves. Still got that puffy ski jacket? A Thinsulate, shaped jacket good on and off the slopes is more up-to-date. Love those braid-trimmed knit suits? Your senior moment may never end.
She thinks Hawaiian-style shirts for men are predictable and tiresome. But she shows a fanciful embroidered shirt for the same kind of casual occasion.
And she makes it plain that the Miami Vice look -- a silk T-shirt with sport coat -- is over. Often she uses striped shirts and polo shirts, both in fashion-forward colors, to give an outfit zing or to make it more casual. She pairs dark jeans with a colorful striped shirt and zippered cardigan. A contemporary black suit gains casual elegance with a stylish striped blue and black shirt and no tie.
Young people may wear trendy clothes and try silly things, said Mathieson. "It's forgivable. But as you get older, you do your best to look intelligent."

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating the read/write cycles of an integrated semiconductor memory storage system whose storage cells consist of flip flops with bipolar switching transistors, Schottky diodes as read/write elements coupling the cell to the bit lines, and high-resistivity resistors, or transistors controlled as current sources, as load elements, in several phases.
This is accomplished through coupling the storage cell to both read/write circuits and restore/recovery circuits via the bit lines and by selective pulsing of the cell with the read/write circuits and the restore/recovery circuits.
This permits high speed, low operating current, large scale memory systems to be built.
1. A memory circuit comprising:
a word line,
a pair of bit lines,
a cross coupled bipolar memory cell coupled between the bit lines and having its collector emitter circuits coupled to the word line,
means coupled to the word line for selectively setting the word line at first and second voltage levels, said second voltage level being at a magnitude lower than said first voltage level,
a pair of current sources each being coupled between ground and a current sink through a first diode and a respective one of said bit lines through a second diode,
means for selectively decoupling said current sources from said current sink during the application of said second voltage level to said word line and selectively coupling said current sources to said bit lines to switch the current flowing through said current sources to said bit lines to raise the voltage on said bit lines to a first selected voltage level, and
means for maintaining a second selected voltage level on each of said bit lines.
2. The circuit of claim 1 wherein said means for maintaining said second selected voltage on each of said bit lines comprises a second current sink coupled to said bit lines and a second pair of current sources each of which is connected to a respective one of said bit lines.
3. The circuit of claim 2 wherein said means for maintaining said second selected voltage on each of said bit lines further includes means for sensing said selected level on one of said bit lines.
4. The circuit of claim 3 wherein each of said pair of current sources comprises a bipolar transistor coupled to said respective one of said bit lines through a diode and to said current sink source through a diode.
5. The circuit of claim 4 wherein said first selected level on said bit lines is at a magnitude higher than said second selected level.
6. The circuit of claim 5 wherein said second current sink is coupled to said bit lines through a Schottky barrier diode.
7. The memory circuit of claim 6 wherein there is further provided a differential sense amplifier coupled to said bit lines for sensing the state of the cell during a read cycle.
8. The memory circuit of claim 7 wherein there is further provided write circuit means coupled to said bit lines for setting the state of the cell into a selected state.
9. The memory circuit of claim 8 wherein said storage cell comprises cross coupled bipolar switching transistors having high impedance transistor load elements and are coupled to said word line through Schottky barrier diodes.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to a semiconductor memory storage system and its method of operation.
More particularly the invention relates to a system in which both the read/write circutis and restore/recovery circuits are coupled to the storage cells via the bit lines and whose read/write cycles are performed in several phases.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Present memory systems and in particular those used for computer applications are manufactured using integrated semiconductor technology, and as such comprise a plurality of specifically organized memory storage cells formed in monolithic semiconductor chips.
Such storage cells have been designed using flip flop circuits having bipolar transistors as the switching transistors, Schottky diodes as the read/write elements coupling the cell to the bit lines and high-resistivity resistors as the load elements. Such a cell is shown, for example, in the IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin, Vol. 16, No. 6, November 1973, on pages 1920 to 1921. This cell when used as described has the disadvantage that the cell node potentials are not sufficiently rapidly raised to values such that the cell can be affected by read/write operations of adjacent storage cells. As a result, a relatively long time has to elapse before the next read/write cycle can be initiated, thus a system using the described cell will have relatively long read/write cycles.
A monolithic storage cell with two base-collector cross-coupled transistors having a collector resistor, with a relatively high resistivity, and one diode per transistor connected parallel thereto, whereby the resistor is designed as a pinch resistor is also known. The design of the pinch resistor is such that the collector resistor belonging to the circuit of one transistor of the cell is designed as a resistor buried under the emitter material in the extension of the base zone of the other transistor, and the diode is connected parallel to the collector resistor of one transistor being formed by the base-collector junction of the other collector resistor. Although this described cell is highly integratable, it has the disadvantage that the cell node potentials are raised only slowly to values at which the cell is not affected by read/write operations of adjacent storage cells, so that the read/write cycle is very long. These pinch resistors have the further disadvantage of leading to a relatively high storage cell current and relatively high power dissipation, respectively, so that from the thermal standpoint, higher integration densities on the storage chip are limited.
In order to reduce the storage cell currents and thus the power dissipation, it would, in principle, be possible to use bipolar transistors instead of pinch resistors as load elements. Although from a thermal standpoint this would permit a higher integration density, the reduced storage cell current would delay still further the charging of the storage cell nodes after selection of a storage cell, thus substantially prolonging the read or write cycles.
Broadly speaking the present invention is directed towards a storage cell memory system and more particularly to a storage cell memory system in which each cell has its storage nodes charged after each selection so that the system has a high operating speed and a low operating current.
The present invention achieves these desirable results in a semiconductor storage system in which a read/write circuit and a restore/recovery circuit is coupled to the bit lines of each cell to which the read/write pulse is applied in several stages.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a method of, and a circuit arrangement for, operating an integrated semiconductor storage memory, whose storage cells consist of flip flops with bipolar switching transistors, Schottky diodes as elements coupling the cell to bit lines, and high-resistivity resistors, or transistors controlled as current sources, as load elements, in order to reduce the system cycle time and ensure low storage cell currents by a suitable arrangement of the peripheral circuits and by the read/write pulse sequence and the restore and recovery pulse sequence.
It is still a further object of the invention to describe a method of selecting, reading, writing and restoring the storage cells of the system that leads to a rapid and stable operation of the storage cells and which permits each storage cell to remain unaffected by read/write operations applied to adjacent storage cells.
These and other features of the present invention will be more fully appreciated and understood by considering the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a storage cell with the various peripheral circuits, showing the currents in the standby phase.
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram as in FIG. 1, showing the currents during the read phase.
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram as in FIG. 1, showing the currents during the write phase.
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram as in FIG. 1, showing the currents during the recovery phase and by means of which the restore phase is described.
FIG. 5 is a time diagram showing in particular the signals and potentials for selection, the recovery phase, the restore phase, the write phase, and the read phase.
Referring to the drawings in more detail, FIGS. 1 to 4 show only a part of the storage matrix arranged on a semiconductor chip, namely, a bit line pair B0 and B1 with a storage cell coupled therebetween, and the associated recovery/restore and the read/write circuit.
The storage cell is a cross-coupled transistor flip flop with each of the bases of the two switching transistors TX1 and TX2, coupled to the collector of the other transistor, i.e., the nodes B and C, and to a respective one of the two bit lines B0 or B1 via respective Schottky diodes SX1 and SX2. These switching transistors TX1 and TX2 further have their collectors coupled through respective load transistors TX3 and TX4 and resistor R10 to ground, and their emitter connected to a common terminal A and to a word line WL. The switching transistors TX1 and TX2 may also be provided with clamping Schottky diodes 11 and 12. The bases of the load transistors are connected to a voltage source VN.
Above this storage cell in FIG. 1 the recovery/restore circuit is arranged, whereas the read/write circuit is arranged below the storage cell. The circuit is thus subdivided into an upper part for the recovery/restore operations and a lower part for the read/write operations and makes for an optimal arrangement of the peripheral circuits in relation to the storage cell.
The upper part of the circuit, i.e., the recovery/restore circuit, consists of the resistors RX7 and RX8, the PNP transistors T1, T2, T3, and T4, as well as of the Schottky diodes S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, and S8. The resistors RX7 and RX8 are connected via one terminal point to the common ground line GND. The other terminal of resistor RX7 is connected both to the emitter of the PNP transistor T1 and the emitter of the PNP transistor T2. The other terminal of resistor RX8 is connected to the emitters of the PNP transistors T3 and T4. The bases of transistors T1 to T4 are all connected to a fixed potential VN of, for example, -1.5V. Between the collector and base of each of the PNP transistors T1 to T4, one respective clamping Schottky diode, 13, 14, 15, and 16, is arranged. The collector of transistor T1 is linked to bit line B0 via a Schottky diode S3 and via a further Schottky diode S5 to the recovery line VREC. Transistor T3 has its collector connected to bit line B0. As the circuit is symmetrically designed, PNP transistor T2 has its collector linked to bit line B1 via a Schottky diode S4 and to the recovery line VREC via a further Schottky diode S6, and PNP transistor T4 has its collector directly connected to bit line B1. Bit lines B0 and B1 are also coupled to a restore line VREST and to a fixed potential line VSENSE via Schottky diode pairs S1, S7 and S2, S8, respectively. Capacitors C0 and C1 shown on bit lines B0 and B1 respectively as well as the capacitors C2 and C3 at nodes B and C respectively on the storage cell are parasitic line and circuit capacities. The read/write circuit in the lower part of FIG. 1 consists of the PNP transistors T5, T6, and T7, the NPN transistors T8, T9, T10, T11, T12, and T13 their respective Schottky clamping diodes, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22, the Schottky diodes S9 and S10 connected in series to the PNP transistors T6 and T7 respectively and coupled to the bit lines B0 and B1, and the resistors R1 and R2 as well as the resistors RX1 to RX6. A ground potential line GND is connected through line resistor RX1 to the emitter of transistor T5, a write control signal line W0 is connected through resistor RX2 to the emitter of transistor T6 and a write control signal line W1 is connected through resistor RX3 to the emitter of transistor T7. The lines 23 and 24 connected to the collectors of respective transistors T8 and T9 lead to a sense (read) amplifier (not shown) and are coupled to ground GND through resistors RX4 and RX5 respectively. Line VS carrying a fixed potential of -4V is connected to the emitter of transistor T13 and to the base of transistor 13 through resistor R2 and to the emitter of transistor T10 through resistor RX6. The write control signal line W0 is connected to the emitter of transistor T12. The write control signal line W1 is connected to the emitter of transistor T11 and the bit selection signal line BSL is connected to the bases of transistors T5, T6, and T7.
The operation of the circuit is described below by means of FIGS. 1 to 5. Initially, the operation of the circuit in the standby phase is described by means of FIG. 1. During this standby phase the word line WL is at its standby potential of -2.2 volts. The PNP transistors T3 and T4 supply currents of 10 microampere each into the respective bit lines B0 and B1. The potential for the bit lines B0 and B1 is accurately defined and limited to a restore level of -2.8 volts by means of the Schottky diodes S1 and S2 coupling the bit line to the line VREST held at suitably negative voltage. The bit line potential and the word line potential are chosen so that no current flows via the coupling Schottky diodes SX1 and SX2 into the storage cell. The storage cell only carries the standby current which is discharged via the word line WL. The lower part of the circuit, i.e., the read/write circuit, is inoperative in this standby phase.
The read cycle is subdivided into a read phase, a recovery phase, and a restore phase, and will be described below with particular reference to FIGS. 2 and 5 and especially the left side of FIG. 5 designated as R. Initially as may be seen from FIG. 5, the storage cell is selected by lowering the word line WL to about 3.2 volts by a negative pulse 50. When pulse 50 reaches its full value the line VREST is pulsed to a higher level as indicated by pulse 51 turning off Schottky diodes S1 and S2 and causing the currents from transistors T3 and T4 to flow into the bit lines. For the present example it is assumed that the left transistor TX1 of the storage cell is on or conductive and the right transistor off or nonconductive. Because transistor TX1 of the storage cell is conductive, it, under these voltage conditions, pulls the voltage on the bit line B0 down to a lower level. At the same time the voltage level of the other bit line B1 rises slightly by means of the bit line current. This causes a voltage differential across the cell which is amplified by the selected differential amplifier consisting of the transistors T8 and T9. This differential amplifier is simultaneously selected via the PNP transistor T5 whose base is pulled down to -1.5 volts by the application of suitable voltage pulse to bit selection line BSL and which thus determines the differential amplifier current via transistor T10. Transistor T8 and T9 are thus a current switch. The current in transistor T10 is a function of resistor RX6 on its emitter and of the potential on the base which is determined by transistor T13 whose emitter is connected to the fixed potential VS of -4.2 volts and whose base is biased via the voltage divider R1 and R2. Transistors T6, T7, T11, and T12 are not active during the read cycle.
A higher restore level, can, in principle, be applied to the VREST line but would increase the capacitive current. In large-scale systems this would necessitate unduly broad word lines. The respective bit line B1 or B0 is very rapidly discharged via the conductive switching transistor, such as TX1, since these receive a high capacitive base current during the switching phase. This leads to the difference signal being built up between the two bit lines B1 and B0 within a very short time.
After completion of the read operation, the storage cell is deselected by switching off diodes S5 and S6. This switching off of diodes S5 and S6 is accomplished by applying a positive pulse 52 to line VREC and by increasing the potential on word line WL to its normal level. When diodes S5 and S6 switch off the currents from transistors T1 and T2, normally flowing through diodes S5 and S6 to recovery line VREC, are now forced through diodes S3 and S4 respectively to bit lines B0 and B1 respectively. These currents are in addition to the currents through transistors T3 and T4 and causes the capacitors C2 and C3 at storage cell nodes B and C to be charged to a potential whose magnitude is equivalent to the standby potential minus the voltage across a Schottky diode. This total current shown in FIG. 4 as IREC0 and IREC1 in bit lines B0 and B1, charges the storage cell nodes B and C previously described as well as capacitors C0 and C1 until one of the bit lines B0 or B1 has reached the potential applied to line VSENSE via Schottky diodes S7 and S8, respectively. In the described case this occurs when bit line B1 reaches the potential of line VSENSE through diode S7. This prevents the state of the cell from being disturbed by this charging of the capacitors. The signal thus occurring on the line VSENSE is now used to shut off pulse 52 bringing down line VREC to cause Schottky diodes S5 and S6 to switch on and divert currents supplied by current sources T1 and T2 from the bit lines B0 and B1 to the line VREC. Thus the recovery phase is terminated.
This is followed by a restore phase (FIG. 4). After the recovery phase bit lines B0 and B1 still have different potentials. By setting the voltage on line VREST bit lines B0 and B1 are discharged via Schottky diodes S1 and S2 and forced to a common standby potential. This restores the original state of bit lines B0 and B1 and of the storage cell. After this restore phase a full write cycle will be performed.
For purposes of illustration, it will be assumed that the restore phase described above is followed by a full write cycle described below with reference to FIG. 3 and the pulse on the right side of FIG. 5. The write cycle is subdivided into a write phase, a recovery phase, and a restore phase.
For purposes of illustration only, it will be assumed that the cell is to be written so that switching transistor TX2 becomes conductive and switching transistor TX1 is rendered nonconductive. To so write the cell a positive pulse 53 is applied to signal line W0 and its complementry negative pulse 54 is applied to signal line W0. When the bit selection signal now is applied to the bit selection line BSL and thus to the bases of transistors T5, T6, and T7, transistor T6 and transistor T12 both become conductive with transistor T12 receiving its base current via transistor T5. Transistor T7 and T11 remain off because signal lines W1 and W1 remain at thier quiescent voltages and are not pulsed.
The word line WL is now pulled down as shown by pulse 55 for selection of the cell. Because transistor T12 is conductive any current flowing into bit line B1 is diverted from the cell to line W0 and line B1 is held low. Simultaneously because transistor T6 is conductive is supplies a current into bit line B0 which exceeds the standby current of the storage cell by at least the current amplification factor β of the transistor driving line B0 up. These current flows force switching transistor TX2 to become conductive and switching transistor TX1 to become nonconductive thus rewriting the state of the cell.
This write cycle also includes a recovery and a restore phase similar to those described with the read cycle. Thus once the pulse 55 reaches its full value a positive pulse 56 is applied to the line VREST. To assure that the current from transistors T3 and T4 is caused to flow into the respective bit lines B0 and B1. Subsequently a pulse 57 is applied to the VREC line causing the additional current from transistors T1 and T2 to flow into the respective bit lines B0 and B1 and recharge the capacitors as taught above.
This described circuit and its operation has the following advantages:
The selection of the word lines lead to a rapid and stable operation of the storage cells. During the selection phase, a storage cell is written or read by externally controlling the bit line currents. In the recovery phase the increased bit line currents occurring are used to raise the cell node potentials to values at which a storage cell is not affected by read/write operations of adjacent storage cells. During selection, the level of the bit lines has to be changed only slightly, since after the recovery potential has been reached in the restore phase the bit lines are forced to a uniformly low restore potential. During writing, a high write current is fed via a bit line from a controlled current source to the storage cell to be written into. At the same time, a push-pull circuit forces the potential of the other bit line downwards, carrying only the low restore current. For reading the differential amplifier is switched on for selection via a controlled current source. During this time, the write part is not activated. As the storage cell is recharged by the external currents in the recovery phase, the operating speed, i.e., the total cycle time of the semiconductor storage, occurs at very low standby currents in the storage cell. As a result of this, the proposed operational mode and the circuit used to perform it permit building large-scale storage systems with highly integrated low operating current high speed storage cells. Also the integrated design of the circuit requires only very little space, since the circuits for reading and writing are incorporated in the overall circuit.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that numerous changes in form and detail of the circuit may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The Calligrapher's Daughter
by Eugenia Kim
Top Five Books of 2014 (398)
KayStJ's to-read list (464)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the multi-generational story of a young, unnamed girl growing up in Korea during the Japanese occupation in the early 1900s. Despite her father's disapproval, Najin sets out to obtain for herself an education and a life unlike any other woman in her family. She wants to be a doctor. She wants to decide for herself who she will marry. She wants to be useful and intelligent rather than polite furniture in the home of a man. This is her story.
A very moving and engaging tale. I would get so frustrated when Najin was oppressed that I would often be in a bad mood and snap at my husband! You really pull for the protagonist and wish her every success. Loved it.
I learned I had no name on the same day I learned fear. Until that day, I had answered to Baby, Daughter or Child, so for the first five years of my life hadn't known I ought to have a name. Nor did I know that those years had seen more than fifty thousand of my Korean countrymen arrested and hundreds more murdered.
When a daughter is born to calligrapher Han and his wife shortly after the Japanese occupation of Korea, Han refuses to name her until the occupation ends. Najin eventually gets her unusual name through an American missionary's misunderstanding of a conversation. She hears adults speak of "self-determination" and, when it is explained to her, she decides that's what she wants for her life. Self-determination won't be easy with a father who clings to traditional ways in defiance of the new Japanese laws, nor with the ever-increasing restrictions the Japanese are imposing on Koreans. Najin has her mother's love and support, but she struggles with doubt as she tries to emulate her mother's strong Christian faith.
The words on the page embodied textures, tastes, and smells so strong that I felt I was in Korea with Najin. I was particularly fascinated by the intersection of Christianity and traditional Korean culture. Church was central to Najin's family. Najin's mother had internalized her Christian faith, while her father never really gave up his Confucian principles. Christianity was compatible with those ideals so he was able to integrate them into a system that worked. Najin struggled with her faith because of the suffering and injustice she experienced. The historical afterword explains that Korean Christianity was not the result of missionary efforts, but rather it came to Korea by way of Bibles that a Korean scholar brought back from China in the 17th century. Now I'll be looking for a history of Christianity in Korea to find out more.
Highly recommended for readers with an interest in early 20th century Korean history, Japanese history, women's history, or family novels. Although most readers wouldn't classify this novel as Christian fiction, it will appeal to many readers of Christian fiction.
A well-written, enjoyable book full of history, tradition, and story. The only thing that stopped me from giving it five stars was the ending. I wish it had gone one or two chapters further so we would know a little more about what happened to Najin and Calvin.
Born the daughter of a calligrapher-scholar, the young narrator goes unnamed for several years. Her father, distracted by the Japanese occupation and his artistic pursuits, lets time drift by without bothering to find a name for his child, so eventually she claims one on her own: Najin, the name of her mother's hometown. Thanks to the determination of her mother and the help of local Christian missionaries, Najin is blessed with a fine education, but her desire to continue with it instead of marrying in her early teens enrages her traditional father, who has already found her a match. Again, Najin's mother intervenes, and arranges through a noble kinswoman for Najin to be a companion to a princess. However, it is not long before the king is assassinated, and the occupying Japanese make life harder for the Koreans. Home again, Najin is married off to a young pastor who proposes that she accompany him to America to study medicine. Najin's joy is cut short when her passport is denied by the Japanese, and she is forcibly separated from her husband. As months turn into years, Najin must remain strong and support her family as war erupts around them.
Based on the life of the author's mother, Najin lives in a very tumultuous time. She must grow into a strong woman, because her family has no one else with the capacity to adapt to the rapid changes in society. Her father still thinks about Korea as a highly stratified society where noble scholars can peacefully spend their days reading and painting. Her spoiled brother expects to inherit his father's position and wastes his energy on gambling and visiting teahouses/whorehouses. Najin's mother is perceptive enough to see that the world is changing and that tradition cannot continue to dictate their actions, but she is too old and too undereducated to effect change. She pours great effort into getting Najin the opportunities she did not have, living vicariously through her daughter.
Najin is a sympathetic character, torn between her loyalties to her family and her own dreams. Though she is very liberal by her family's standards, to us she seems quite conservative. She works hard and sacrifices much to support her brother because he is the family's heir. After her marriage, she is little more to a servant to her in-laws, slaving away for them day after day for the sake of a husband she knew for only a few weeks. Although some of her devotion may stem from a lack of opportunity elsewhere, it is the strong Confucian influence on Korean culture that binds her to her parents.
Set during the years between the two World Wars, Najin's life illustrates the harsh, brutal reality of life under the Japanese regime. The suffering of the Koreans is what really lingers after the book is over, and is more compelling than Najin's personal story.
Compared to China and Japan, Korea's history remains largely obscure to a Western audience. I can recite the names of the Chinese dynasties and name contemporary TV shows and writers from Japan, but ask me to discuss anything about Korea that isn't food and I will draw a blank. In the past few years, though, South Korea has been gaining greater recognition as K-pop has increased in popularity and Korean dramas stream online. So a novel like The Calligrapher's Daughter was very well-timed, arriving on bookshelves just as interest in Korea was beginning to rise.
I heard the author speak at a local book festival and knew I wanted to read her book after hearing her that day. I loved this story based on a family member's life.
This debut novel, inspired by the life of the author's Korean mother, is a beautiful, deliberate and satisfying story spanning 30 years of Korean history. The tradition-bound aristocratic calligrapher Han refuses to name his daughter because she is born just as the Japanese occupy Korea early in the 20th century. When Han finds a husband for Najin (nicknamed after her mother's birthplace) at 14, her mother objects and instead sends her to the court of the doomed royal Yi family to learn refinement. Najin goes to college and becomes a teacher, proving herself not only as a scholar but as a patriot and humanitarian. She returns home to marry, but her new husband goes without her to study in America when she is denied a visa. As the Japanese systematically obliterate ancient Korean culture and the political climate worsens, so do Najin's fortunes. Her family is reduced to poverty, their home is seized and Najin is imprisoned as a spy while WWII escalates. The author writes at a languorous pace, choosing not to sully her elegant pages with raw brutality, but the key to the story is Korea's monumental suffering at the hands of the Japanese. (Aug.)

Facebook Frenemies: Yasmine Abdel Aziz insults Haifa Wehbe in fake FB attack
Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe is often under attack by haters or celebs for one thing or another.
Egyptian actress Yasmine Abdel Aziz was the latest celeb to attack Haifa on Facebook; or so we thought!
A Facebook account under Yasmine's name issued a slur of never-ending insults at Haifa Wehbe and Ramez Jamal. Yasmine explained that it was a case of identity theft!
Someone had created a Facebook account under the star's name and posted their own opinions on political and other matters, while pretending to be Yasmine.
Yasmine was extremely angered by the incident, for someone has posted things on her behalf that go against her morals.
The actress said that she doesn't own a Facebook or Twitter account in the first place, so that couldn't have been her!
The identity thief had to be punished, and Yasmine did just that. She filed a legal complaint against the person, in the hopes that they find and penalize the person responsible.

Cal Expo board agrees to consider arena, mixed-use project
Cal Expo's board of directors will consider mixed-used development along with a new arena for the Sacramento Kings.
The possibility gained the enthusiasm this week of several local real estate brokers and developers. The area is centrally located -- already recognized for its shopping, eateries, offices and hotels -- and has a large daytime population. Additional development combined with an arena would only add to the draw at Cal Expo, real estate sources said.
The California Exposition & State Fair board will mull over the idea at its meeting Sept. 28. The move follows a request from National Basketball Association representatives to begin negotiations on developing an arena on the property.
But it's unclear what types or size of development the state-owned venue might consider. It could be simply additional components Cal Expo has long-sought, such as expanding meeting space and a new amphitheater. Cal Expo also could pursue the mixed-use development without an arena.
Consultant John Moag, who is representing the NBA on efforts to find a new home for the Sacramento Kings, started looking at Cal Expo after Sacramento County voters last year soundly defeated two ballot measures that would have kicked in some public money for an arena in the downtown railyard.
Moag did not return calls this week. But he told the Business Journal last month that Cal Expo is an "attractive site," but has many unknowns, including whether the project is feasible, works financially or is of interest to Cal Expo.
Cal Expo's leaders are entering into this discussion without any preconceived ideas about what might constitute mixed-use development, general manager Norb Bartosik said. Nor do they know where on the fairgrounds an arena would be built or how any deal would be structured.
"We're at square one," Bartosik said.
Cal Expo has been interested for a while in the possibility of mixed-used development, said state Assemblyman Dave Jones, who is a non-voting Cal Expo board member and opposed last year's arena-related measures Q and R. Development of the property could occur with or without an arena, he said, but the interests of nearby residents and businesses and city plans must be considered with any urban infill.
The Cal Expo board also must be clear with Sacramentans that it cannot and won't use state general fund money for any development, he added.
The next best thing?
The downtown railyard would be a "home run" for the arena and associated development, but Cal Expo is a good alternative, said Matt Holmes, a San Francisco real estate broker who has worked on Sacramento-area projects, including currently The Fountains lifestyle center in Roseville. To have adequate impact, the commercial piece at Cal Expo would need at least 30 acres, he said. Given the current housing slump, he wouldn't recommend including housing in the mix at Cal Expo. He would suggest including offices, lots of restaurants, 1,500- to 8,000-square-foot shops, a large fitness center and at least two hotels -- perhaps one a boutique and another an extended stay.
Boyd Cahill, a retail broker with TRI Commercial/Corfac International, said mixed-use makes sense at Cal Expo given its central location and access to the Capital City Freeway. He likes the idea of more offices, hotels, a gas station, restaurants and entertainment at the fairgrounds.
Incredible John's Pizza Co. and Dave & Buster's, chains that combine food and games, would be a good fit, he said. But shops wouldn't fit unless they're selling something related to sports. "There's already a lot of retail" in the area, he said.
Developer Lux Taylor, whose office is across from Cal Expo, is enthusiastic about the potential for mixed-use and wouldn't rule out any component there. Even with Arden Fair mall and the neighboring Market Square, there's much demand from retailers for space in the area. Taylor agreed with Holmes that at least 30 acres would be needed for critical mass. "You could develop an incredible urban-style project," he said.
Cal Expo's land should be more intensively developed and used, said a local real estate source who didn't want to be named. Lodging would work, he said, but the area has enough retail, and the railyard will bring much new office space.
Not a slam dunk
Traffic and funding are big challenges for any project at Cal Expo. But legislation awaits Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that would allow Cal Expo to form a joint-powers authority to issue bonds and lease land to developers. Efforts toward this legislation began more than a year ago with a goal of doing something about Cal Expo's $40 million in deferred maintenance.
Cal Expo has 350 acres of developable area and another 375 acres in the floodplain that can't be built on under current laws.
Early this week, several Sacramento city and county elected leaders and a representative of Maloof Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Kings and Arco Arena, said they hadn't heard any specifics about possible development at Cal Expo.
Developers of the railyard think their site, which offers public transportation and downtown amenities, would be better than Cal Expo, said Suheil Totah, a representative of Thomas Enterprises Inc.
"We continue to be interested in having an arena at the railyard if there is in fact a funding plan for it," he said. But the project is moving ahead without arena plans.
