Shuffleboard pucks are made of wood or plastic, and to gain maximum control over the puck it is common practice to wax the underside of the pucks, thereby insuring uniformity in the travel of the pucks over the court. This waxing of the puck is done by hand, holding the wax in contact with the puck. I have found a better way to do it by using an electric motor to rotate the puck in contact with a block of wax that is hand held. The outer edge of the puck has a tendency to receive more wax than does the inner edge because the outer edge of the puck travels a greater distance in contact with the hand held wax than does the inner areas. To overcome this I have devised an arrangement whereby the wax block is triangularly shaped to deposit a uniform coating of wax dependent on the distance from the center to deposit a uniform coating of wax over the entire area.
1. The method of waxing the court contacting surface of a donut shaped shuffleboard puck, which comprises the steps of using an electric motor to rotate the puck about a vertical axis with the court contacting surface of the puck exposed, and applying wax to the exposed surface of the puck.
2. The method defined in claim 1 wherein wax is applied substantially uniformly to the court contacting surface of the puck by impressing a triangularly shaped block of wax to the court contacting surface of the puck wherein the block of wax has inner and outer circumferential lengths that are proportional to the circumferential lengths of the inner and outer circumferences of the donut shaped puck.
Where the waxing of the running surface of the puck is done by hand, it is difficult, if not impossible, to apply the wax uniformly over the full area of the court contacting surface of the puck. As the game is played the players cast several pucks. While it is difficult to apply the wax uniformly to the running surface of a single puck, in instances where the waxing is done by hand it is virtually impossible to apply the wax uniformly over the outer and inner areas of the puck. By waxing the pucks by a power driven waxer I am able to insure a very high degree of uniformity of the waxing where the application of the wax is controlled in accordance with the radial distances of the puck from the center of the pucks to apply equal waxing of the pucks dependent on the distance the various areas of the puck are from the centers of the pucks to control the waxing by applying wax uniformly in accordance with the linear speed of the various areas of the puck.
The popularity of the game of shuffleboard is growing, and its popularity will increase more rapidly as the uniformity of waxing of the pucks becomes more common. As the uniformity of the waxing of the pucks expands, the skill and dexterity of the players becomes of greater importance.
Insofar as I know no one has devised a waxer capable of applying uniformity in the application of the wax over the entire area of the contact of the puck with the area of the court over which the pucks travel as the game progresses.
By providing a waxer that applies a uniform coating of wax to the overall contacting area of a puck in a shuffleboard game the degree of human skill becomes of greater importance.
FIG. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a waxer whereby substantially a uniform application of wax can be applied to the puck used in the shuffleboard game.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3--3 of FIG. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the puck and
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a piece of wax shown in an exaggerated scale to apply substantially uniform waxing of the puck regardless of the distance from the center of the puck.
Referring now to FIG. 1 a driving electric motor 10 is secured to an upright flange 12 having a footer 14 set at a 90 degree angular relation to the flange 12. The footer 14 is mounted on a base 16 and an inverted box 18 by a plurality of bolts 20. The inverted box has a plurality of apertures 24 to permit cooling air to enter to maintain the motor 10 within the proper operating temperatures.
The driving motor 10 is supplied with electric current to drive the motor by a lead wire 26 connected to a terminal box 28 secured to a cylindrical container 30.
The motor 10 is mounted vertically in the cylindrical container 30, and has a driving shaft 32 connected by a connector 34 with a stem shaft 36 operably connected to a puck supporting and rotating member 38. The puck 40 is loosely mounted on the supporting member 38 in such a manner that a slight degree of lateral movement is permitted. A thin rubberized member may be interposed between the puck supporting member 38 and the puck 40.
The majority of pucks used in the Shuffleboard game are donut shaped having an outer diameter 44 of approximately 6" and an inside diameter 46 of approximately 5".
It is possible for an experienced waxer to hold a cake of wax and move it in and out readily, and thus apply a substantially uniform coating of wax to the upper surface 42 of the puck 40 that contacts the court during the playing of the game.
In view of the fact that in order to provide a uniform thickness or coating of wax over the entire area 42 being waxed it is necessary to apply more wax at the outer periphery 44 because the circumferential length is greater at the out periphery 44 than it is at the inner periphery 46.
In order to insure uniform waxing I have arranged to use a triangular piece of wax 48 shown in an exaggerated view in FIG. 5 having a greater periphery or length of wax at the outer periphery 50 than at the inner edge 52 thereof. While using a block of wax of this triangular shape substantially the same volume of wax will be deposited over the entire area 42 to be waxed, assuming that the block is pressed with the same pressure, and that the outer edge 50 of the block 48 is applied to the outer periphery 44 of the area 42 being waxed and the shorter end 52 of the block of wax 48 is applied to the inner periphery 46 of the area 42 being waxed.
To insure relatively uniform waxing of the court contacting surface of the puck, the block 48 of wax illustrated in FIG. 5 has inner and outer circumferential lengths 52 and 50 that are proportional to the inner and outer circumferences of the donut shaped puck. It will be apparent that these dimensions are exaggerated for illustrative purposes. When the waxer is not in use a cover 54 having a central handle 56 and a downwardly extending flange 58 to overlie and being a relatively close fit over the upper edge of the cylindrical container 30.
The shuffleboard game is gaining rapidly in popularity. As the use of the more accurate method of waxing the pucks gains in popularity the popularity of the game will increase more rapidly because with better waxing the skill of the players will have a greater effect on the game.
In the operation of the shuffleboard game, if the court is smooth, the puck will travel a straight course to the target area. The small forward triangular area scores 10 points and the areas behind score lesser amounts with a penalty area behind the scoring area.

RENTON, Wash. -- As new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll walked hand in hand with his wife, Glena, through the team's 225,000-square-foot practice facility, which sits adjacent to Lake Washington, he beamed even as he had no clue where they were being led.
"I have horrible mall sense," he said. "Take me to a mall, spin me around one time and I can't find my way out. No idea. No idea where my office is. If I can see the lake, I might be able to find my way."
What he saw blew him away: an 88,000-square-foot indoor practice facility, locker rooms as large as banquet halls, indoor pools and hot tubs, and a weight room that not only overlooks the lake, but seems nearly as big. Basically, comparing what he had to work with at USC to the Seahawks' facility would be like comparing a roadside diner to the Burj Dubai.
"I hope we don't get soft," he said, glancing up, "because this is so sweet."
It was raining. Of course. But even a rainy day in Seattle couldn't dampen Carroll's exuberance as he met the media. At first he sounded as professional as the players he had just inherited, talking about the importance of the run game, the importance of having a solid quarterback. And then inevitably it happened -- "jacked up" slipped into his vernacular, as in, "we're jacked up" about this new opportunity.
He couldn't help himself.
Carroll has always been "pumped," "jacked up," "on fire," "psyched" or "stoked" about what he's about to undertake, whether it's facing the Oregon spread offense or taking the reins of an embattled Seahawks organization.
And so, after the news conference, there he was, sitting on a chair in a suit and tie on the turf of the indoor practice field.
"Man, I just want to run around and throw the ball," he said.
Good thing there wasn't a football around, because, well, he can't help himself -- even in a suit and tie.
Carroll's unbridled enthusiasm and Pollyanna tendencies were well known on the USC campus. He was the fun coach, the cool coach, the guy every kid wanted to play for. And now, he is talking a good game about how his style will work in the NFL because the players aren't that much older than the ones he just left behind in Los Angeles. But you have to wonder if grown men in a big-time business will relate to the pranks Carroll liked to pull on the Trojans, or the field trips to the beach, or the impromptu team sing-alongs.
"How do you know they won't?" he said, laughing. "You don't change your philosophy. Coach Wooden taught me that. You don't change your philosophy. The players change and dynamics shift because of the players."
One of his former USC players, Lawrence Jackson, stood in the back of the news conference with a half-dozen or so other current Seahawks players. He knows all too well how Carroll got him out of a funk during his senior year -- by having him read the old classic sports psychology book, "The Inner Game of Tennis," to teach him to train his mind in addition to his body.
How would that play in Renton?
"Uh, well that was a special situation," Lo-Jack said and laughed.
"The main thing is that Pete wants to win. And that plays anywhere."

Irfan Khawaja - 8/4/2006
As a simple empirical check on this thread: does anyone know where Hanson discusses the relation between democracy and foreign policy? A reference or two or three would help in clearing up whether he is talking about "democracy" per se or "liberal democracy."
David T. Beito - 1/27/2006
Here is what I found with a short search. He almost always uses the term "democracy" rather than "liberal democracy." While he touts the virtues of capitalism, etc., his general approach seems rather vague....as if to assume that elections will have a transformative effect on behavior.
I see no concern in this essay, for example, about the dangers of a tyranny of the majority:
Aeon J. Skoble - 1/27/2006
RAB - Is there some reason you're referring to me with scare quotes? That's my name. If it bothers you, keep it to yourself. You're the visitor here, not me.
As to the substance of your comments:
1, there's no such thing as imposing freedom. A free society is one in which those who would impose lack the power to do so. It's fallacious thinking to characterize overthrowing a tyrant as "imposing liberalism." And in any case, what do you mean by saying that "our masters" want to "impose liberalism"? The US govt didn't play any role that I could detect in the Palestinian elections. My remark to David was simply to note that folks like Hanson aren't, contrary to what David seemed to imply, favoring democracy per se, but liberal democracy.
2, "the distinction between "attacking its neighbours" and "liberating its neighbours from oppression" is...in the eye of the beholder." If the point of this remark is to imply that the destruction of Israel would somehow liberate the people who live there, sorry, that's false. Citizens of Israel, including Arabs, have a far greater level of rights and democratic participation than any other middle-easter nation, and certainly more than they would enjoy under a Palestinian regime. Besides Hamas' goal of killing Jews, they also like torturing and killing gays.
Otto M. Kerner - 1/27/2006
If there's somebody out there taking orders, please make mine a "liberalism", and give me the "democracy" only if it comes free.
Rowan Arthur Berkeley - 1/27/2006
Oh, great, 'Aeon J Skoble', so our masters now want to impose upon us 'liberalism'. Presumably that is why they are known as 'neo-conservatives'.
p.s., again to 'Aeon J Skoble' : the distinction between "attacking its neighbours" and "liberating its neighbours from oppression" is, like a surprisingly large number of things, in the eye of the beholder.
Anthony Gregory - 1/27/2006
Yes, Hamas is at least partly a product of the democratic State of Israel. Yeah, democracy!
Anthony Gregory - 1/27/2006
Also, some democratic peace theorists have characterized Afghanistan after the American invasion and nation-building as a democracy.
Sheldon Richman - 1/26/2006
Incidentally, as UPI reported in 2001, Israel helped nurture Hamas as a religious rival to the secular Fatah. The story is here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/708609/posts.
Sheldon Richman - 1/26/2006
Could Hamas's victory had anything to do with Bush's rather heavy-handed support (thanks to us taxpayers) for Fatah? When will they ever learn?
David T. Beito - 1/26/2006
Very often the pro-war side uses the the term "democracy" without qualifiers and celebrates uncritically the machinery of elections, such as the recent depictions of high turnout in Iraq.
Leaving this aside, however, Hanson and company are very inconsistent on this. They have praised democracy in Iraq even though it led to a victory a Shi'ite fundamentalists. These Shi'ites, not to mention the Sunnis and Kurds, are often very critical of liberal ideas including free speech for opponents, equal rights for women. Because the winners are pro-U.S.,their illiberalism is overlooked and rationalized.
Aeon J. Skoble - 1/26/2006
Last I checked, it wasn't democracy, but _liberal_ democracy, that was desired. Hamas may have been democratically elected, as was Hitler, but that's not liberalism. My guess would be that Hanson would have favored going to war against Hitler, despite his democratic "legitimacy", on the grounds that Nazi Germany was literally threatening and in many cases actually attacking its neighbors. Hamas is explicitly dedicated to the eradication of one of its neighbors, so what exactly is the objection to the self-defensive war that seems to entail? The elections are neither here nor there.

Newtown Public Schools will run on a two hour delay Thursday, January 8, due to the weather, as announced by the school district Thursday morning.
The following are the students who made the High Honor Roll and Honor Roll for the first quarter marking period at Newtown High School this school year. The honor roll listings were recently released by the school for publication. Students earn recognition on the High Honor Roll by being enrolled in five or more classes with a minimum of four courses in areas of study other than independent study and related work experience, have an overall average of 90 or more for the marking period and the student must receive a grade of 85 or higher in each course. To make the Honor Roll, NHS students must meet the same requirements, but their overall grade average must be more than 85, and the student must receive a grade of 80 or higher in each course.
Ben's Lighthouse will sponsor a free after-school program at Newtown Middle School for all local seventh and eighth grade students, on Mondays from 2:15 to 3 pm, from February 4 to March 16. The program will offer students the opportunity to tell stories, like favorite memories or achievements, by talking about the importance of life lessons, lessons learned, and sharing influences in their lives.
For Newtown's public schools 2014 was an eventful year. Students raised money for causes and charities, completed projects, and demonstrated a range of abilities throughout the year. Education Reporter Eliza Hallabeck offers a look at some of the highlights for Newtown's schools in this recap.
As students, staff, and a few parents filed into the gymnasium for a Kindness Assembly at Hawley Elementary School, Tuesday, December 23, a slide show of artwork by various students in grades K through 4 flashed on the screen set up on the stage. Colorful drawings depicted each student's vision of what kindness means to him or her.
"Kindness looks like friends playing," was scrawled across one drawing. "Kindness is sharing," another child wrote, an expression that was echoed by many of the other artists.
The assembly on December 23, said Principal Christopher Moretti, was a culmination of the month of December, in which Hawley students celebrated kindness and friendship.
As Head O' Meadow Principal Barbara Gasparine walked into her school's cafetorium on Tuesday, December 23, she asked students in Karen Dreger's second grade class whether they were ready to sing.
"Yeah!" the students responded.
The group was one of the first classes to enter the cafetorium for Tuesday's holiday sing-along, which was organized and led by music teacher Cynthia Holberg.
Middle Gate Elementary School music teacher Tina Jones was ready in the school's gymnasium on Tuesday, December 23, when students walked in for an assembly.
"This is our Middle Gate musical winter sing-a-long!" Ms Jones announced, wearing a festive hat and outfit.
After introducing students to the assembly, Ms Jones seated herself at a piano and led students and faculty through singing a Winter Fantasy and Jingle Bells combination.
With family, friends, and their fellow students surrounding them, Reed Intermediate School students in Valerie Pagano-Hepburn and Georgia Smith's sixth grade cluster shared stories and "heart maps," on Friday, December 19.
Students took turns reading their stories before students, then gave their parents the heart maps, which were wrapped like presents and framed.
As Ms Pagano-Hepburn has shared in the past, the concept of heart maps comes from George Heard's Awakening the Heart: Exploring Poetry in Elementary and Middle School.
Hawley Elementary School physical education teacher Doug Michlovitz explained what students would be challenged to do for a National Basketball Association competition on Tuesday, December 16. It was the second day that Mr Michlovitz was showing students the NBA-sponsored FIT Dribble Swish & Dish competition, a free competition that offers boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to showcase their basketball skills.
A school assembly was held on Friday, December 19, for Reed Intermediate School students participating in the Pilobolus At Newtown, an After School Arts Program (ASAP), to perform with two Pilobolus dancers ahead of a scheduled performance for family and friends that night. The Pilobolus instructors and representatives have been working with Reed students since near the start of the 2014-15 school year, when all students at Reed were given the opportunity to be taught by Pilobolus dance instructors before the after school program began. While the school assembly was for the enjoyment of fellow students and Reed faculty, a public performance was also offered that evening.

For details: Edén | Oak Cliff Film Festival
All the best,
I wanted to thank all of you who made it out to see Edén at the Montclair Film Festival. It was a great event, and your presence made it that much more special.
Exciting news to share: Edén was awarded the Future/Now Grand Jury Prize at the festival's closing ceremony, which honors emerging low-budget American independent filmmaking.
I leave you with a nicely written account by Montclair Film Festival's Michael Traynor on Edén and its screening.
Father & Motherland: DuRant's Edén | Montclair Film Festival
All the best,
Hello everyone.
Edén was warmly received at its U.S. premiere at the Atlanta Film Festival. Great feedback from the audience. Couldn't have been a warmer welcome. The city was in bloom.
And now,

For those of you in the area, please join us.
Edén screens:
Monday, May 4, 7:00PM, Clairidge Cinema 1

Happy Spring!
Hello everyone.
Wanted to share with you Edén's poster! Illustrated and designed by the talented Mexico City based Nuria Díaz Ibáñez.
Happy New Year!
I am very happy to announce that Edén will be making its U.S. premiere in March at the Atlanta Film Festival.
2014 was a very big year for Edén: it made its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and continued on to the Göteborg International Film Festival in Sweden, the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa, the Raindance Film Festival in London, Los Cabos International Film Festival in Mexico, and closed out the year at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival in Argentina.
A personal highlight was Edén's Mexican premiere at the Guanajuato International Film Festival in San Miguel de Allende, where we filmed Edén, and where cast and crew gathered to see their work for the first time on the big screen. It was an emotional evening.
This year, our focus is to bring Edén to the United States.
Please let us know of festivals in your area.
I can't thank all of you enough for being a part of Edén and look forward to the day we may be able to see it together.
I leave you with a recent interview by Peter Machen for Aesthetica.

Russian tennis player Nadia Petrova is aiming for an Olympic medal in London but insists she will not be devastated if she failed to win one.
© 02varvara.wordpress.com
Newspaper: Russia's Public Television could go online in May 2013
Ukraine's Olympic flag-bearer Roman Gontyuk is not superstitious
Russia has a successful Olympic history, Elena Dementieva, Dinara Safina and Vera Zvonareva won the gold, silver and bronze medal in singles respectively at the 2008 Beijing Games.
""The Russian mentality is if you are going to the Olympics you have got to be winning medals and failure is not acceptable," Petrova told Reuters from the Mercury Insurance Open in Carlsbad California.
"In Fed Cup (the international tennis team competition for women) we have the same mentality. Russians are a bit hard on themselves and we have high expectations. We want to achieve a lot of or goals in our careers."
In 2008, former world number three Petrova missed the cut because her ranking was too low.
This year she is ranked number 21 and was named to the team along with Maria Sharapova, Zvonareva and Maria Kirilenko, whom she will also play doubles with.
""I'm excited," she said. ""I missed Beijing, but not by much, but that year we had four players in the top 10 and it was almost impossible.
"I remember playing a tournament in Cincinnati and watching it on TV. Of course I wished I was there and I was a little frustrated because I had to play small tournament and they were there, but I was happy them."
Petrova doubts that any nation is going to sweep the medals stand again because tennis has became increasingly international and there are no real powerhouse nations left.
The top 12 ranked players in the WTA rankings are all from different countries. A former Grand Slam semi-finalist, Petrova conceded Russia was sending a weaker team to London, but said that every other country is too.
""I don't think it will ever happen again in the history of tennis because we don't so many big names from the same country again like (Americans Lindsay) Davenport, (Jennifer) Capriati, (Monica) Seles, and the Williams sisters.
"No one has a really strong third player."
Petrova, 30, is thrilled to have made the team as she ackonowledges is is unlikely that she will still be playing singles in 2016.
Her own chances in London apart, Petrova suspected her country would be upset if they fail to collect a medal in the women's Olympic tennis.
"I'm sure something will be said in the press, for them it's hard to understand how you went and didn't win a medal, but they don't understand the whole picture," she said."I won't be disappointed if I leave the Olympics without a medal as long as I give my best effort. For me life goes on."

Ridiculously easy homemade ricotta
Ridiculously easy homemade ricotta
Ricotta is incredibly easy to make so why waste money buying it? Try this super simple version that tastes great and dont worry if you can boil milk, you can make ricotta. Best of all, it works out far cheaper than the stores, and you can even freeze any extra!
- 16 cups full fat or skim milk
- 1.5 tsp citric acid (you can find this in the supermarket with bi-carb soda and cream of tartar)
- 1 tsp salt (try to get un-iodised salt but you can use table salt)
- Extra equipment Fine cheesecloth around 60x60cm
- A cooking thermometer that goes up to 100°C or 200°F
- In a clean stainless steel stockpot, combine all ingredients.
- Put on the stove and start to boil - stir a few times (not a lot) to keep the curds from sticking to the bottom.
- When the milk gets to about 95°C (195°F) the milk will curdle and separate. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 mins.
- Drain the hot milk through cheesecloth on strainer. Leave for about 15 -20 mins until the curds become the 'wetness' you desire.
- Transfer to airtight container and store in the fridge.
- This recipe is as easy as it gets. If you can boil milk, you can make ricotta.
- Ricotta is yummy topping on baked potato or mixed into hotcakes, or stuffed in pasta.
- Save money with this recipe – you get 700g worth for the price of 250g in the shops!
- This recipe will keep in the fridge for a week – even better it can be frozen! Try using zip lock bags then throwing it straight in the freezer for later.
- This recipe was created by Melissa Klemke for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder.

In imaging apparatus particularly for use in intra-oral dental applications, a solid state imager is continually clocked out during a wait period prior to irradiation from an X-ray source. A signal derived from the CCD is compared with a threshold at to determine the onset of irradiation by the X-ray source which will appear as a rapid change in the signal level. The threshold conditions are varied to follow changes in ambient conditions and particularly temperature changes to allow for increase of dark current with a rise in temperature. This permits the threshold at which the CCD is triggered to begin image acquisition to be set at a relatively low level whilst minimising the risk of false triggering.
1. Imaging apparatus comprising: a solid state imager device including radiation sensitive detector elements; means for carrying out a threshold test; means for varying a threshold condition of the threshold test in accordance with changes in ambient conditions; and means for initiating image acquisition by said imager device when said threshold test is satisfied.
2. Imaging apparatus as claimed in claim 1 includes means for comparing a signal derived from said detector elements with a threshold level.
3. Imaging apparatus as claimed in claim 2 wherein said means for varying a threshold condition includes comparison means for comparing a signal derived from said detector elements with a threshold level and changing said threshold level in accordance with changes in said signal.
4. Apparatus as claimed in claim 2 wherein said means for varying a threshold condition includes comparison means for comparing a signal derived from said detector elements with a previously obtained signal from said detector elements to give a difference value and said difference value being compared with a threshold level.
5. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said solid state imager device is a CCD device.
6. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said apparatus is adapted for use in an intra-oral arrangement.
7. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said imager device, in use, detects X-ray radiation.
8. Apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein said solid state imager device is a CCD device.
9. Apparatus as claimed in claim 4 wherein said solid state imager device is a CCD device.
10. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 and including an X-ray source for irradiating a subject behind which said solid state imager device is located during use.
11. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 and including means for substantially continually clocking out charge from said detector elements prior to initiating image acquisition.
12. A dental X-ray imaging apparatus comprising: an X-ray source arranged in use to irradiate a subject; a solid state imager device for receiving X-ray radiation from said source after it has passed through said subject; means for initiating image acquisition when a threshold test is satisfied which incudes means for comparing a signal derived from said imager with a threshold condition; and means for varying said threshold condition in accordance with changes in ambient conditions.
This invention relates to imaging apparatus and more particularly to solid state imagers which include radiation sensitive detector elements.
It has been proposed to use CCDs and other types of solid state detectors for dental and other medical applications using X-ray irradiation to examine structural features of a patient. The CCD device replaces the film used in previous systems and enables real-time imaging to be achieved together with a more controlled lower dosage of X-rays for a given exposure.
In one known arrangement, a CCD device is used intra-orally and is electrically connected to an X-ray source. When the X-ray source is energised, a start signal is transmitted along the connecting wire to the CCD device and to its control circuitry to begin image acquisition and read-out. In other arrangements, the X-ray source and CCD device have no physical connection. A supplementary sensor is arranged close to the imaging area of the CCD to detect the onset of X-ray energy. On detection of the incident X-ray energy, the sensor sends a signal to the CCD control circuitry to cause imaging to begin.
In another arrangement, the CCD device is continually read-out prior to irradiation by X-rays. A signal derived from the CCD is compared with a reference level. If it exceeds the reference level, the image acquisition phase of the CCD operation is initiated.
The present invention seeks to provide an improved imaging apparatus which is particularly advantageously used for dental X-ray diagnosis where the imager device is located intra-orally but it is envisaged that it may also be used in other medical or diagnostic applications and could also be advantageously employed for non-medical applications.
According to the invention, there is provided imaging apparatus comprising a solid state imager device including radiation sensitive detector elements; means for using a signal derived from the detector elements in a threshold test; means for initiating image acquisition when the threshold test is satisfied; and means for varying a threshold condition with changes in ambient conditions.
Solid state devices such as CCDs suffer from the generation of a thermally based signal known as dark current. During a wait period, for example, in an X-ray system before X-ray exposure, the imager device generates dark current which uses signal handling capacity of the device and may even totally fill that capacity leaving no space for signal information. When onset of X-rays begins therefore, the device must be emptied of the charge it holds due to noise to enable image acquisition to be initiated.
Dark current approximately doubles every 7� C. in silicon devices and in dental use, CCDs may be used with an operating temperature of up to 40� C. In the previously known arrangement in which the signal output is compared with a reference level, it is therefore necessary to set this reference at a relatively high level to allow for signals arising from 40� C. dark current and other noise features. This is significant given the exponential rise in dark current with temperature. If the reference is set too low, a false trigger signal may result causing a failed image and requiring the patient to be subjected to a repeat exposure.
By employing the invention, a threshold test is used which may be continually varied to accommodate changes in ambient conditions. Hence, the threshold level need not be set initially at a high level unless ambient conditions so require. Immediately prior to a particular X-ray exposure, the CCD may subjected to a temperature of only 20� C., say, and not 40� C. which may be encountered after some time or not at all although in theory this temperature might be attained. As the level is minimised to that required for the particular conditions encountered the onset of X-ray radiation is more quickly and reliably determined than in the previously known system. Hence the dosage of X-ray radiation to which the patient is subjected is also minimized as image acquisition is started nearer the beginning of the X-ray pulse. A rapid change in the signal derived from the detector elements indicates the onset of the radiation to be imaged and causes image acquisition to be begin. The signal may be derived directly from the detector elements or may be processed in some way first.
The invention is particularly advantageously used for X-ray irradiation of patients for dental and other medical uses such as mammography as it allows X-ray dosages to be reduced to the minimum level required. This meets stringent health and safety requirements by avoiding unnecessary exposure to X-ray radiation which is not used in the production of an image without increasing the risk of image failure with the need to repeat the procedure.
Although the invention is particularly useful for dental applications because of the temperature constraints, other medical applications may also with advantage employ it. Also, the invention may be employed, for example, in non-X-ray imaging arrangements such as where optical radiation is to be monitored or for other types of high energy radiation.
The change in the threshold condition in most cases will occur because of variations in the ambient temperature. However, in some applications, ambient background illumination may be monitored and the threshold varied accordingly. A further benefit of the invention is that the threshold will also be varied to take into account the increase in dark current which occurs in solid state imagers when exposed to ionising radiation such as X-rays.
In one particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention the means for varying the threshold condition with changes in ambient conditions includes comparing a signal derived from the detector elements with a threshold level and changing the threshold level in accordance with changes in the detected signal. In another arrangement, a signal derived from the detector elements is compared with a previously derived signal to give a difference over a known short time interval and the difference is compared with a set threshold level. Although in this case, the threshold level is set at a fixed value, the comparison to determine the difference in previous and current signals is used to compensate for changes in temperature and hence changes the threshold condition.
Some ways in which the invention may be performed are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an X-ray imaging arrangement for intra-oral dental use;
FIG. 2 schematically shows in greater detail part of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram relating to the operation of the arrangement of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 shows part of an alternative arrangement in accordance with the invention.
With reference to FIG. 1, an X-ray source 1 is arranged to irradiate a tooth or other object 2 to be imaged behind which is located a CCD sensor device 3. The CCD device 3 comprises an array of radiation sensitive detector elements which accumulate charge depending on the intensity of the radiation which is incident thereon. By applying control signals from a control unit 4 the accumulated charge can be clocked from the sensor elements at selected times to produce a signal S on an output line 5 which is representative of the radiation pattern falling on the detector 3. In the absence of radiation, the signal S will essentially be due to dark current and other noise.
The signal S is applied to signal processing circuit 6 and to a comparator 7. The comparator 7 performs a comparison test to determine if there is a rapid change in the magnitude of the signal, which indicates that the X-ray source 1 has been switched on. When this occurs, a start signal is transmitted along output line 8 to the control unit 4 to begin image acquisition by the device 3. Prior to the irradiation with the X-ray source, the control unit 4 applies potentials to the CCD electrodes to continually clock out the charge accumulating at the sensor elements on line 5. The comparator 7 is also connected to apply a signal the signal processor 6 to enable it to accept the signal information for image processing when the test indicates that the X-ray source is irradiating the object 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates part of the signal processor 6 in more detail. The signal S on line 5 is first applied to a low pass filter 9 with a long time constant. This removes any short term fluctuations from the signal, including the effect of the X-ray pulse, and provides a signal which tracks the long term average of signal S as ambient conditions vary.
A positive offset (Vo) is then applied to the low pass filtered signal by an offset circuit 10 to generate a reference signal which is then passed to the comparator 7.
Under normal conditions the output of the comparator 7 will be low due to the offset voltage Vo. However, when an X-ray pulse is applied, signal S will rise rapidly. The action of the low pass filter 9 prevents the reference signal from rising quickly and hence the output of the comparator will switch high indicating that image acquisition should begin.
The comparator 7 continues receiving a signal on line 5 during image acquisition and also detects when the X-ray source is switched off at the end of the irradiation period.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram which illustrates the operation of the arrangement of FIG. 1. The time consent of the filter 9 is chosen to be significantly greater than the duration Tx of the transmitted X-ray pulse.
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative arrangement used for giving a continuously variable threshold level which may be used in place of the comparator 7 of FIG. 1. In this arrangement, the signal S on line 5 derived from the CCD output is applied to a storage means 12 having two sections 12a and 12b. The current signal magnitude is stored in part 12a of the store and the previous value is shifted to part 12b. The two signal magnitudes are subtracted at 13 to give a difference showingthe change in magnitude of the signal over the time between the two samples. This is compared with a fixed threshold value T at comparator 14. The level T is set at a value which is greater than would be expected for changes between the two signal values due solely to thermal effects and other changes in ambient conditions but is significantly smaller than a change which would occur on the onset of irradiation with X-rays. The output of the comparator 14 is applied to the control unit 4 to begin image acquisition when the onset of X-ray irradiation is detected. In this case, therefore, although the threshold value T is fixed, the signal which is compared with it is continually varied in accordance with changes due thermal effects and other noise considerations and thus the conditions of the threshold test are variable with changes in the ambient conditions.

Thread: Olive or Emery?
March 2nd, 2014 10:27 PM #1
Olive or Emery?
I have recently become obsessed with Olive for a girl. It is on my husband's family's side. My husband likes Emery however and we have paired it with June.
I like Emery June it's just I always get the reaction that it is a boys name and even though it is becoming popular for girls in fact I only know a girl with the name I hear it all the time.
Emery, Olive, and June are all family names so what do you like? Our last name sounds like Andersen.
Emery June Andersen
Olive June Andersen
The boy name we have picked 100% decided is August Patrick.

Jack White completely destroyed The Mayan. So much energy and fantastic song choices. I think it was the longest set list of the tour if I'm not mistaken. Conan and John C Riley came out at the end to play guitar for Goodnight Irene. I need time to process this incredible show...
Yes, Jack White has a no photo policy. No, I did not break it and take this picture, my buddy did. (But I don't blame him, when Conan and John came out at least 75% of the crowd took photos/videos.)

I just took a photo of famous celebrities!
All right, gotta go post it on my Facebook now.
But if nobody knows I'm out somewhere doing something cool, what's the point of doing something cool? I only do things to brag about doing them to other people because I have no sense of self! Photos aren't really that important anyways. They will never come close to the feeling of being there. Live music should be, uh, live.
ps Shut the fuck up about at least 75% bullshit. When artists (ex: Hope Sandoval, YYYs) ask you to not take any photos, it means enjoy the show for what it is. Jack has an official photographer (http://jackwhiteiii.com/live-photos/) who takes some great pictures of the shows. He uploads pictures within a day or two after the concerts and they turn out ten times better than anything any audience could hope to get.
Yeah but there's no way to get a selfie in! (kidding!)
He bolded the "I don't blame him" part. You are not respecting Jack White's wishes if you think people should be allowed to take pictures, is what Spooks means. I think.
i don't know about piece of shit, but if your friend said, hey, i'm doing this thing, don't take pictures of it, i'd probably not take pictures of it. why do people treat artists any differently?

The Mayan show was literally insane. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time and surely topped the Fonda. Neutral Milk Hotel and I snuck into this pseudo VIP section right next to the stage and watched the whole show from there. It was beyond surreal and the performance was so tight. The encore was a non-stop rock assault from start to finish and "Canon" was amazing. I can't wait for a proper headlining show in LA to be announced.
