Been there a few times. Great service and great steaks. Wines could be a hit or miss. Definitely my go to place in Stamford for a decent steak
One look around the dining room during a recent lunch visit and it was pretty clear that this place exists to capture what's left of corporate expense account dollars. Any doubts were dismissed when the combination of soft - even if well-intentioned - service and mixed meat temps were manifest.
Trying to emulate the gravitas of some of the better-known...
The best, most unbelievable dinner, drinks, service, atmosphere. We celebrated our anniversary there and they made us feel like one in a million.
We have eaten at this location twice in the last four months for special occasions. The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. Their steaks are fantastic and seafood is very fresh. It's hard not to be impressed by the whole experience.
It is expensive but in this case you get what you pay for. They have valet service...
Have not had either less than excellent service or less than excellent food at any Capital Grille. The rub is what you pay for it, but that's understood.
Have never had a bad meal at Capital Grille...no matter the location. Attention to food and service makes it our "go to" place for all special events. Sad, though, when they took swordfish off the menu. It was the BEST ever.
Excellent service, outstanding food. The Filet was cooked to perfection. Loved the chopped salad and the lobster mac and cheese was great. Wish I could eat there more often
Five Star Restaurant. Food was perfect, drinks great and a nice wine selection. Excellent service and a beautiful atmosphere. Perfect!
Always delicious. Service is always outstanding. I had my usual, the Kona Filet, my mom and grandmother had the chilean sea bass.
Been to this place several times for lunch and have not been disappointed yet, every single item I've ordered has been really good. The place is a bit noisy but what do you expect from a lunch crowd.

The present invention relates to the art of semiconductor memories. It finds particular application in conjunction with static RAMs and will be described with particular reference thereto. It is to be appreciated, however, that the invention may also find application in conjunction with other memory and semiconductor devices
Heretofore, a random access memory has commonly included a large array of memory cells. The memory cells have been commonly addressed by a combination of a row or x-address and a column or y-address. A word driver or x-decoder received a memory address and enabled a corresponding row or word line of memories to be accessed. A column or y-decoder and a column select switch also received the address and enabled one of the columns. The memory cell at the intersection of the enabled column or bit line and the enabled row or word line could be written into or read. Data read from the cell was conveyed to a common data bus and amplified by sensing amplifiers.
As the memories became larger in scale, an increased number of memory cells were connected to each word line and an increased number of word lines were provided. This increased the current consumption each time a memory was activated and decreased the operating speed. If the word lines were shortened, the number of word lines, hence, the height of the columns would increase resulting in similar problems.
To reduce the power consumption and increase the operating speed, the memory was divided into a plurality of mats. The x-decoder or word driver selected a main word line, i.e. corresponding word line in each mat. Group word logic cells were added to select only a group word line in one of the mats. This reduced the length of the physically enabled word line which reduced power consumption and increased speed.
The length of the word line was further reduced by using double word line architecture. The double word line architecture effectively divided each mat in half such that the effective length of each word line was halved again. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,554,646 issued Nov. 19, 1985 to Yoshimoto, et al.
One of the problems with the double word line architecture is that it made no improvement in the speed or power consumption attributable to the y or column address. To improve the column efficiency, the common data bus was divided into a plurality of segments. In the double word architecture, a segment was provided for each of the effective or half mats. That is, in a memory cell having eight mats which were each effectively divided in two by the double word architecture, sixteen common data bus segments were required. A corresponding large number of sensing amplifiers were required to connect each common data bus segment with an output data bus. For an eight bit memory, sixteen sensing amplifiers were commonly required per segment. These amplifiers not only increased the complexity of the memory, but also had a deleterious effect on its speed and power consumption.
The present invention contemplates a new and improved memory construction which overcomes the above referenced problems and others.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor memory with a divided common data bus is provided. The memory includes a first plurality of memory mats, each mat including a plurality of memory cells. A y-decoder selects bit lines to address a column of the memory cells. A double word x-decoder selects group word lines such that each mat is divided into at least two effective mats. A first plurality of common data bus segments are provided such that the number of common data bus segments matches the number of memory mats. Each of the common data bus segments is connected with the cells of one of the memory mats. A plurality of sensing amplifiers connects each common data bus segment with a output data bus.
In accordance with a more limited aspect of the present invention, the sensing amplifiers include at least a first amplification stage having two inputs for receiving a high and a low output from the addressed memory cell and two outputs. A second amplifier stage has two inputs for receiving the two outputs of the first stage and two outputs for driving a output data bus.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor memory is provided which has a divided bit line control. The memory includes a plurality of memory mats each of which includes a plurality of memory cells. An x-decoder means selects word lines to address a row of memory cells. A plurality of load control means selectively connects bit line loads with a selected subset of columns during a write cycle in accordance with a received address.
One advantage of the present invention is that it reduces power consumption in large scale, semiconductor memories.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it increases operating speed.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it reduces parasitic capacitance.
Still further advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment.
The invention may take form in various parts and arrangements of parts or in various steps and arrangements of steps. The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a static RAM memory in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 provides a more detailed schematic representation of the divided line control, divided common data bus, and sensing amplifiers of an alternate embodiment of the static RAM of FIG. 1 which uses single word architecture;
FIG. 3 illustrates a double word architecture control system for a static RAM;
FIG. 4 is a detailed schematic representation of a clock generator for the static RAM of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 illustrates a control system for enabling words of the static RAM;
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of an amplifier drive circuit of the static RAM of FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is a timing chart which illustrates operation of the static RAM of FIG. 1 during a read mode; and,
FIG. 8 is a time chart illustrating operating sequences of the static RAM of FIG. 1 during a write mode.
With reference to FIG. 1, the static RAM includes a large array 10 of memory cells, e.g. one million. The memory array is divided into eight mats 12a-12h by four x-decoder or word driver means 14a-14d. Each x-decoder means 14 controls a plurality of word lines, such as word line 16 extending across one of the mats 12. Each word line provides an enable signal to a row of memory cells, including a memory cell 18.
A y-decoder means 20a-20e selects a plurality of bit lines 22 to be connected to each of common data bus segments 24a-24e. A plurality of load control means 26a-26p selectively connect each of a plurality of load devices 28a-28p to the bit lines of a selected mat during a write mode. The load control means 26 generates load switching signals φLa -φLp in response to an address signal Ai and a load control signal LC to enable the selected bit load devices.
In the preferred embodiment, each of the mats 12 has an aspect ratio or a bit line to word line ratio of 1:4. For a million bit memory which has 128 kilowords by eight bits, the mats are each 512 bits�2048 bits. This shortens the columns. That is, the length of the bit lines is shortened to 512 bits which decreases the load capacity of the bit lines. By using double word architecture, each word line is reduced to half the width of the mat. That is, regarding power consumption and speed, each mat 12 is divided into two effective mats 30, each effective mat being 1024 bits. A first portion 16a of the word line 16 accesses one half of the bits across one mat and a second word line portion 16b accesses the other half. In the preferred embodiment, one bit line load device 28 is provided for each effective mat to reduce the power consumption in the write mode still further.
The y-decoder means or arrays 20 interconnect each of the eight mats 12 with eight corresponding common data bus segments 24. That is, each pair of effective mats, e.g. effective mats, 30a and 30b is interconnected with one of the eight common data bus segments. The division of the common data bus into eight segments decreases the capacitance and resistance, particularly in the diffusion and wiring layers of the MOS transistors of the switching arrays 20. Each of the common data bus segments includes two lines per bit. For an eight bit memory structure, sixteen lines are provided. This enables eight bits to be read out or written in concurrently.
Each of eight sensing amplifier arrays 32 includes a sensing amplifier for each line of the corresponding common data bus segment. For an eight bit structure, sixteen sensing amplifiers are provided for each common data bus segment. Each sensing amplifier is connected with an output data bus driving amplifier of second stage amplifier arrays 34. An array 36 of multiplexers is connected between each pair of the second stage amplifiers and an output data bus 38.
A clock generator 40 generates clock signals which control the x-decoder 14 and the y-decoder 20, directly, and which control the amplifiers 32, 34 and the multiplexers 36, indirectly, through a plurality of amplifier derive circuits 42. The amplifier drive circuits 42 control the operation of the sense and driver amplifiers such that only the amplifiers connected to the common data bus segment receiving read data are enabled. Operation of only the amplifiers which amplify the read data reduces power consumption.
With reference to FIG. 2, the memory cells 18 each include a flip-flop circuit. That is, each memory cell has two outputs, a high output and a low output. Each time the flip-flop is stepped, the high and low outputs are reversed. The two bit lines 22 are each connected with a different one of the two flip-flop outputs. In this manner, each sampled bit includes a high signal and a low signal. The order of the high and low signals is indicative of whether a digital "1" or a "0" is stored in the cell.
With reference to FIG. 3, the dual word architecture of the word line 16 reduces the DC current flow to the bit line load device 28. The x-decoder or word driver means 14 controls a conventional word line 16a for selecting the memory cells in a near end effective mat 30a. A third wiring layer 50 different from the word line extends from the x-decoder to a contact point 52. A second word line 16b is connected with the contact point 52. In this manner, the x-decoder 14 can select memory cells in the remote end effective mat 30b by sending word signals to the word line 16b through the third layer wire 50. In order to minimize delay on the word line 16b, it is connected with a remote contact point 54 which is connected with the first contact point 52 by another third layer wire segment 56. Alternately, the third layer wiring segment 56 may extend from the contact point 54 to ground, rather than to contact point 52. Grounding contact point 54 removes the effects of noise which is attributable to floatation of the wiring capacitance. Of course, the memory cells in the remote mat 30b can be accessed with the third layer wire segment 56 removed.
In this manner, the number of memory cells selected by each word line is halved, e.g. reduced from 256 to 128. This reduction again reduces electrical power consumption. Moreover, the third wiring layer can provide the ground contact for the memory cells instead of conventional ground wiring on the lower layers. This enables the memory cells to be packed more closely, reducing the size of the memory chip. This can also reduce the wiring capacitance and resistance.
With continuing reference to FIG. 2, in the write mode, each bit line load devices 28 applies a load across each column of memory cells in a selected effective mat 30. Each bit load device 28 includes two pairs of n-channel MOS transistors 60a, 60b and 62a, 62b. When the transistors 60a, 62a are switched conductive, the bit line load devices stabilize the data of the corresponding columns of memory cells during a reading operation and decrease the electrical power consumption during the writing operation.
With reference to FIG. 4, a clock signal φTOTAL is formed based on an address change rate and a data input control or activating signal DIC is based on a write/read enable signal. In response to these signals, the clock generator 40 generates a chip selection related signal CSIN, a word line activating signal φWD, a precharge signal φC, and a data latch signal φDL. A load switching signal φL controls the load transistors 60a, 62a to connect a load to the selected effective mat of bit lines. The memory can be operated at higher speeds when the signal φL is divided in accordance with the division of the word line. That is, during the writing operation, the signal φL only turns the transistors of the selected bit line non-conductive. This division causes the operating speed of the signal φL to increase such that the high speed bit line recovers voltage and is equalized. The word line driver or x-decoder means 14 is driven by an address signal Ai and by the word line activating signal φWD.
With reference again to FIG. 2, a potential leveling or precharge circuit 64 is activated by the φC signal during a read cycle to maintain the potential on the bit lines at a constant level. Maintaining the potential constant enables the inverted data high and low signals to be read at high speeds.
It will be seen that placing a high signal on the word line 16 connects the output of all the flip-flop circuits or memory cells of one row to the respective bit lines. A switching transistor pair 66 of the y-decoder means 20 enables the data only on a selected pair of the bit lines to be transmitted or transferred to the divided common data bus 24. For a memory that is eight bits deep, each memory cell includes eight flip-flop circuits. The high signal on the word line connects all eight flip-flops with the bit lines. The eight pairs of enabled switching transistors 66 connects the pairs of bit lines for the eight flip-flops with respective pairs of lines of the common data bus 24. In this manner, all eight flip-flops are read concurrently.
With reference to FIG. 5, address signals that designate the column are received on line 70. Column decoder circuits 72 select the plurality of memory cells that provide the plurality of bits of the addressed word. More specifically, to the illustrated eight bit embodiment, in-out or I/O signals 74 select the switching transistors of switching arrays corresponding to the eight bits or cells of the words in the selected column. Memory cells corresponding to the first four I/O signals are accessed by one of the input/output terminals and cells I/O 5 to 8 are selected by the other. With this structure, the eight memory cells of one eight bit word are connected to a single word line. The delay when the data is produced can be set to be between two and three nanoseconds between in/outs. Accordingly, a peak current that flows into the output transistor can be analogously divided to reduce the effective noise upon the internal circuits.
With reference to FIG. 6, the amplifier drive circuits 42 enables only selected sensing and second stage amplifiers. By enabling only the amplifiers that are needed for the read memory cell, power consumption is minimized. The amplifier drive circuit 42 receives the address signals Ai the data input control signal DIC, and the word line signal φWD. From these address and timing related signals, the amplifier drive circuit generates amplifier control signals φMRS, multiplexer control signals φMRO, and a data writing circuit activating signal φMWI.
Referring again to FIG. 2, in the read mode, the high and low signals on the bit lines 22a and 22b are conveyed by the data bus segment 24 to the sensing amplifiers 32. In the preferred embodiment, the sensing amplifiers or first stage of amplification provides a pair of mirror current amplifiers which are enabled by the amplifier enable signals φMRS from the drive circuit 42. The second stage or drive amplifiers 34 are also of the current mirror type and are also enabled by the φMRS signal.
The multiplexer is stepped by the multiplexer control signals φMRO and φMRS to connect the output of the sense amplifiers to the output data bus 38. The output data bus has a pair of wires or leads corresponding to each bit. The pair is read concurrently. More specifically, each pair of wires is connected to a combining circuit 80 for combining the high and low pulse signal from each flip-flop into digital ones and zeros.
With particular reference to FIG. 7 and continuing reference to FIGS. 2, 4, and 6 an input address signal Ai is received causing the chip select related signal CSIN to assume a low state. The clock signal φTOTAL is formed from the skew or change portions of the signal Ai. The circuit of FIG. 4 produces the precharge signal φC but inverting and delaying the φTOTAL signal for application to the y-decoder means 20. The data latch signal φDL and an x-decoder and word line activating signal φWD are created from a leading edge of the φTOTAL signal and a delay. The sensing amplifier and driving amplifier signals φMRS and φMRO are formed in the FIG. 5 circuit by delaying the leading edge of the Ai signal.
When reading data in the memory cells, as the address Ai changes, the precharge signal φC enables the precharge means 64 to precharge or potential equalize all of the bit lines in the selected mat with a selected address signal. The x-decoder and word line activating signal φWD activates the x-decoder 14 of the selected mat. This enables the high and low bit line signals to be conveyed to the sensing amplifier 32. The signal φMRS enables the sensing amplifier and the drive amplifier such that the bit line signals are amplified twice.
To operate the device at high speeds, the clocks must have appropriate delay times and widths. The rising edge of the clock signal φTOTAL determines a minimum width of the precharge signal φC. Precharging, of course, affects the reliability. After a predetermined period of time has passed from the change of address, the data latch signal φDL assumes a low level to latch the data. Thereafter, the word line signal and the amplifier control signals assume low levels in order to inactivate the remainder of the circuit. The internal circuits operate only for a predetermined duration of time commensurate with a fraction of the read cycle time. In this manner, consumption of electrical power is decreased.
With reference to FIG. 8, in the write mode, the address signal Ai is followed by a write enable signal WE. The data input control signal DIC responds to the write enable signal by assuming a high state. The word line activating signal φWD and the corresponding word line assume a high level. The write enable signal WE goes low as the data is transferred from the common data bus segment and written into the selected memory cell by the column switching array 20.
In the write cycle, the sense amplifiers, the drive amplifiers, and the multiplexers are switched off to conserve power. The write data is directly received in the data latch circuit in the output buffer circuit. The data in the latch circuit is read out when the signal WE is shifted from low to high. Concurrently, the DIC signal and the φWD signal assume a low level. This prevents the first and second amplification stages from amplifying and the multiplexers for assuming a deactivated condition, producing unstable outputs, i.e. erroneous outputs. When the writing mode is changed to the reading mode, the load control signal LC is negated. The load of the bit line is rendered conductive by a logic operation on the predetermined address and the LC signal. In this manner, a bit line signal having a large amplitude is quickly precharged and equalized. The LC signal is shifted at high speeds.
Although the invention has been described with reference to an eight bit structure, it is to be appreciated that other multibit structures are applicable, including four bit, sixteen bit, thirty-two bit, and the like.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the preceding specification. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such alterations and modifications insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Mount Everest braces for another wave of climbers headed for the summit
A wave of climbers were headed for the summit of Mount Everest on Friday in what is expected to another busy weekend on the top of the world.

KATMANDU, NEPAL—A wave of climbers were headed for the summit of Mount Everest on Friday in what is expected to another busy weekend on the top of the world.
Last weekend, four climbers died on their way down from the summit amid a traffic jam of more than 200 people scrambling to conquer the world's highest peak as the weather worsened. A similar crowd is expected this weekend, but there have been no reports of climbers in trouble and the weather is good.
Gyanendra Shrestha, an official with Nepal's Tourism Ministry, said he had reports that 82 climbers reached the 8,850-metre summit on Friday morning.
Shrestha, who is at the base camp, said 120 climbers started the last phase of the climb on Thursday night but not all of them reached the summit. He said it was normal for some of the climbers to quit at the last treacherous part of the climb for various reasons.
There were still more climbers expected to try to reach the summit on Saturday — probably the last day of this climbing season.
"This is the last chance for climbers to attempt to reach the summit. If they can't, then there is not going to be another opportunity this season," another official Mohan Krishna Sapkota said.
Several climbers began their trek from the last camp at the South Col, located at 8,000 metres, on Thursday night and climbed all night, reaching the summit in the morning.
The deaths last weekend raised concerns about overcrowding above the highest trail on the mountain. The area above the South Col is nicknamed the "death zone" because of the steep, icy slope, treacherous conditions and low oxygen level.
Officials said that last weekend, climbers were heading to the summit as late as 2:30 p.m., even though 11 a.m. is the latest start time recommended. That meant climbers were staying too long at high altitudes and exhausting their oxygen supplies because they didn't anticipate having to wait.
More than 3,000 people have climbed Everest since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to do so in 1953. Some 225 climbers have died attempting it.
The deadliest day was May 10, 1996, when eight people were killed. The main reason was said to be that climbers who started their ascent late in the day were caught in a snowstorm in the afternoon and lost their way.
The climbing season normally runs from late March to the first week in June, but this year the season's first clear conditions were only last weekend.

End of Chapter Exercises: Solutions Chapter 3 1. (a) What is meant by the term "mutually exclusive projects" ? (b) Explain why the IRR decision rule could give the wrong result when comparing mutually exclusive projects. Answer: (a) Projects are said to be "mutually exclusive" when the selection of one automatically eliminates the need for any of the alternatives; eg. choosing among a number of alternative road designs between the same two points. (b) It is possible that the ranking of projects using their NPVs changes when the discount rate changes ("switching"). In this case one project will not be unambiguously superior to another as a ranking by IRR would suggest. 2. The following net cash flows relate to two projects: NET CASH FLOWS (IN $ 1,000) YEAR 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 PROJECT A -60 20 20 20 20 20 20 PROJECT B -72 45 22 20 13 13 13 (i) Calculate the NPVs for each project, assuming 10% cost of capital. (ii) Assuming that the two projects are independent, would you accept them if the cost of capital is 15%? (iii) What is the IRR of each project? (iv) Which of the two projects would you prefer if they are mutually exclusive, given a 15% discount rate? Answer: (i) NPVA(10%) = 27.11; NPVB(10%) = 26.41 (ii) Yes. NPVA(15%)=15.69;NPVB(15%)=16.43 (iii) IRR(A)=24%; IRR(B)=26% (iv) Prefer B – higher NPV(15%) 3. Using a spreadsheet generate your own set of Discount and Annuity Tables for, say, all discount rates between 1% and 20% (at 1 percentage point intervals) and for time periods 1 to 30 (at one time period intervals), as well as time periods 50 and 100. You should generate these tables by inserting the numbers for the time periods in the first column of each row and the discount rates in the first row of each column, and then inserting the appropriate formula into one cell of the table – year 1 at 1% - and then copying it to all other cells in the matrix. (Hint: Do not forget to anchor the references to periods and discount rates using the "$" symbol.) Answer: Write the discount formula into spreadsheet as shown below and then copy across 20 columns (headed 1% through 20%) and down 50 rows (headed 1 to 50). Column B Row 2 1% 2% 3% 1 =1/(1+B$2)^$A2 0.980 0.971 2 0.980 0.961 0.943 3 0.971 0.942 0.915 4. A firm has a capital budget of $100 which must be spent on one of two projects, each requiring a present outlay of $100. Project A yields a return of $120 after one year, whereas Project B yields $201.14 after 5 years. Calculate: (i) the NPV of each project using a discount rate of 10%; (ii) the IRR of each project. What are the project rankings on the basis of these two investment decision rules? Suppose that you are told that the firm's reinvestment rate is 12%, which project should the firm choose? Answer: (i)NPV(A) = 9.09; NPV(B) = 24.89, B>A (ii) IRR(A) = 20%; IRR(B) = 15%, A>B Using a reinvestment rate of 12% the terminal values are TV(A) = 188.82; TV(B) = 201.14, hence B>A. Alternatively calculate the IRR of (B-A): IRR(B-A) = 13.78% > 12%, hence undertake the "extra project" (B-A) ie. undertake B. 5. A firm has a capital budget of $100 which must be spent on one of two projects, with any unspent balance being placed in a bank deposit earning 15%. Project A involves a present outlay of $100 and yields $321.76 after 5 years. Project B involves a present outlay of $40 and yields $92 after one year. Calculate: (i) the IRR of each project; (ii) the B/C ratio of each project, using a 15% discount rate. What are the project rankings on the basis of these investment decision rules? Suppose that if Project B is undertaken its benefit can be reinvested at 17%; what project should the firm choose? Show your calculations (spreadsheet printout is acceptable as long as entries are clearly labelled). Answer: (i)IRR(A) = 26.3%; IRR(B) = 130%, B>A (ii)BCR(A) = 1.6; BCR(B) = 2, B>A Using a reinvestment rate of 17% the terminal values are: TV(A)=321.76; TV(B)=293.08, hence A>B. Alternatively calculate the IRR of (A-B): IRR(A- B)=18.51%>17%, hence undertake the "extra project" (A-B), ie. undertake A. 6. A firm has a capital budget of $30,000 and is considering three possible independent projects. Project A has a present outlay of $12,000 and yields $4, 281 per annum for 5 years. Project B has a present outlay of $10,000 and yields $4,184 per annum for 5 years. Project C has a present outlay of $17,000 and yields $5,802 per annum for 10 years. Funds which are not allocated to one of the projects can be placed in a bank deposit where they will earn 15%. (a) Identify six combinations of project investments and a bank deposit which exhaust the budget. (b) Which of the above combinations should the firm choose: (i) when the reinvestment rate is 15%? (ii) when the reinvestment rate is 20%? Explain your answer and show your calculations (spreadsheet printout is acceptable as long as entries are clearly labelled). Answer: To answer these questions it is probably best to compare future values after 10 years, bearing in mind that projects with a 5-year life will have terminal value after 5 years which needs to compounded forward at the reinvestment rate (15% and 20%) to year 10, and the residual deposited in the bank is always compounded over 10 years at a 15% interest rate. Future values are as follows: 15% 20% A+$18,000 in bank $130,876 $152,092 B+ $20,000 in bank $137,652 $158,387 C+$13,000 in bank $170,394 $203,205 A+B+$8,000 in bank $147,161 $189,112 B+C+$3,000 in bank $186,679 $240,224 A+C+$1,000 in bank. $179,904 $233,929 At a reinvestment rate of 15% or 20% the combination of projects B+C would be preferred. 7. A public decision-maker has a budget of $100 which must be spent in the current year. Three projects are proposed, each of which is indivisible (it is not possible to undertake less than the whole project) and non-reproducible (it is not possible to construct two versions of the same project). The discount rate is 10% per annum. The project benefits and costs are summarized in the following Table: Project Cost ($) Benefits ($) Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 A 30 40 0 B 30 0 50 C 70 0 100 (i) Work out the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Benefit/Cost Ratio (B/C) for each project; (ii) Rank the projects according to the NPV, IRR and B/C investment criteria; (iii) Which projects should be undertaken to spend the budget: (a) if the reinvestment rate is 22% per annum; (b) if the reinvestment rate is 28% per annum? Answer: (In answering this question the student should assume that the full amount of the budget must be exhausted on some combination of the three projects; ie. it cannot be assumed that some part of the initial budget is invested at the reinvestment rate. It should also be assumed that end of year 2 is the terminal year.) (i) NPV IRR BCR A $6.36 33% 1.21 B $11.32 29% 1.38 C $12.64 20% 1.18 (ii) rank by: NPV C, B, A IRR A, B, C BCR B,A,C (iii) Only project A is affected by the reinvestment rate. (a) At 22% the future value of $40 at end of year 2 is $48.8.Therefore select projects B and C to maximize return on $100 investment. (b) At 28% the future value of $40 at end of year 2 is $51.2. Therefore select projects A and C to maximize return on $100 investment.

MIAMI - JULY 10: Maynor Figueroa #3 of Honduras strikes the ball into play during group play of the FIFA 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup against Colombia at the Orange Bowl on July 10, 2005 in Miami, Florida. Honduras won 2-1. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)
Honduras defender Maynor Figueroa has joined Premier League newcomer Hull on a free transfer following his release by Wigan. Figueroa has agreed a two-year deal and is reunited with Hull manager Steve Bruce, who also signed the left back in 2008 when in charge of Wigan. The 30-year-old Figueroa set his sights on a move to the KC Stadium as soon as Hull secured promotion back to the Premier League with a draw against Cardiff on the final day of last season. Figueroa says ''I watched the Cardiff game, and after the final whistle I turned to my wife and said, `Hull could be an option for me next year.''' He was released by Wigan following the team's relegation from the Premier League.

New Naples Daily News Web site will launch next week
NAPLES - The Naples Daily News is breaking out yet another blueprint, except this time it's in cyberspace.
Daily News officials unveiled a redesign of its Web site, naplesnews.com, Thursday in a teleconference at the newspaper's downtown Naples office.
The new Web site design, which is targeted to launch Wednesday, July 15, will be a "cleaner presentation that makes it easier for users to find what they want," said Herb Himes, the director of Design and User Experience for Scripps Interactive Newspapers Group Web sites.
E.W. Scripps Co., a public company that owns the Daily News and more than a dozen other newspapers across the country, is launching the redesign to bring a more cohesive online presence to its newspapers.
Plans for the Daily News site redesign come on the heels of a June unveiling of the newspaper's new $95 million, 186,000-square-foot building on Immokalee Road in North Naples.
The Daily News moves to the new building in August and expects to start printing on the new press in early September.
In the meantime, the Web site will morph, the most striking change being the site's black background that makes larger headlines in white text and photos pop from the screen.
Scripps papers that have launched similar redesigns include the Evansville (Ind.) Courier & Press, courierpress.com; the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel, knoxnews.com; and the Record Searchlight, redding.com in Redding Calif.
Aside from a new color scheme, the redesign will also address "how our users are consuming the Internet now," Himes said.
The current Daily News site, which is more than three years old, restricts the user's ability to scan stories, file quickly through photo galleries and gather related content, Himes said.
The redesign will siphon online content into boxes on the page labeled with familiar categories, like sports and local news. The boxes, called buckets, will hold links to related articles, photos and video and a tool that allows users to embed Daily News headlines in their own sites.
Other new tools include a shuffling function that lets users arrange buckets on the homepage, an events calendar and weather window that appear on every page and a share tool that links articles directly to a user's Facebook or MySpace page.
A simpler version of the buckets will be applied to m.naplesnews.com, the Daily News' Web site formatted for use on mobile phones.
Instead of a barebones list of article links, the new mobile site will have the bucket sections, pictures as well as a weather update.
Tim Aten, managing editor of optimization for naplesnews.com, said the elements "make the site easier to navigate or modify."
New site details like the option to completely hide article comments, a site feature that many users either love or hate, or view a list of the day's most popular pages help personalize the Web site, Aten said.
Despite big changes on the Web site, the Daily News has "no plans to charge in the near future for what people are now receiving for free," said Naples Daily News Publisher Chris Doyle.
The main goal is to increase the site's functionality and open the site up for readers, Doyle said.
Daily News officials are encouraging users to explore the new site next week and said they are open to feedback.
Doyle said he hopes that with the redesign users "are not going to feel as though they've lost anything but that the things they really like are easier to see or get to."

How the brain controls robotic grasping toolsFebruary 3, 2015 8:01 am | by Jeff Sossamon, Univ. of Missouri-Columbia | News | Comments
Grasping an object involves a complex network of brain functions. First, visual cues are processed in specialized areas of the brain. Then, other areas of the brain use these signals to control the hands to reach for and manipulate the desired object. New findings suggest that the cerebellum may play a critical role. Findings could lead to advancements in assistive technologies benefiting the disabled.

Vision system for household robotsJanuary 12, 2015 7:36 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | News | Comments
For household robots ever to be practical, they'll need to be able to recognize the objects they're supposed to manipulate. But while object recognition is a highly studied topic in artificial intelligence, even the best object detectors still fail much of the time. Researchers at MIT believe that household robots should take advantage of their mobility and their relatively static environments to make object recognition easier.

Defect-free nanowires with diameters in the range of 100 nm hold significant promise for numerous in-demand applications. That promise can't be realized, however, unless the wires can be fabricated in large uniform arrays using methods compatible with high-volume manufacture. To date, that has not been possible for arbitrary spacings in ultra-high vacuum growth.
Technique offers spray-on solar powerDecember 8, 2014 8:18 am | by Marit Mitchell, Senior Communications Office, Univ. of Toronto | Videos | Comments
Pretty soon, powering your tablet could be as simple as wrapping it in cling wrap. A Univ. of Toronto team has invented a new way to spray solar cells onto flexible surfaces using miniscule light-sensitive materials known as colloidal quantum dots (CQDs)—a major step toward making spray-on solar cells easy and cheap to manufacture.
Nanoparticle allows low-cost creation of 3-D nanostructuresDecember 8, 2014 7:51 am | by Matt Shipman, News Services, North Carolina State Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers from North Carolina State Univ. have developed a new lithography technique that uses nanoscale spheres to create 3-D structures with biomedical, electronic and photonic applications. The new technique is significantly less expensive than conventional methods and does not rely on stacking 2-D patterns to create 3-D structures.

Thin, strong bond for vacuum sealDecember 4, 2014 10:09 am | by Patrick Egan, NIST | News | Comments
An ultra-stable, ultra-thin bonding technology has been adapted by researchers for use as a super-strong vacuum seal. Though it is less than 100 nm thick, the bond can withstand pressure up to 2 megapascals, and its drift, or how much it shifts over time, is on the order of less than 3 trillionths of a meter per hour.

Comment: Re:Similar Performance to Nvidia (Score 1) 103 103
Well I looked on the forums and apparently RAGE used some VERY Nvidia specific OpenGL "tweaks" that gave a couple of cards a problem (namely 7970,7990) unless you did a little editing on the
Does it suck that in this day and age we still have to occasionally edit
But I can say I went from the Athlon X2 7550 to the Phenom II X4 965 to X6 1035T to my current FX8320E, and from the HD4650 to HD4850 to HD7750 to R9 280 and my gaming experience? Nothing but candy and cookies. And the money I saved allowed me to get 6TB of HDD, an SSD for boot, and 16GB of RAM which makes all my games just as smooth as butter. The only "problem" I'm having is getting used to using a flight stick again after all these years (what can I say, got addicted to War Thunder) and getting used to (finally) giving up my trusty 20 inch 1600x900 monitor for a 27in 1080P, now everything is soo big.
But I'm glad Nvidia is working out for you, but after Bumpgate I wouldn't take one of their cards if it was hand delivered by Playboy Bunnies. Say what you will about AMD but that 4650? STILL RUNNING in a PC I sold awhile back, the twin Nvidia cards I had before that? Yeah they are in a landfill. Fool me once...

Lovely simple concept too. The ability to do this (once it is written) should be a major bragging point to say how cool GStreamer is. What exactly do you mean by "shortest" path though? Are you going to assume that all filters have the same cost, or allow them to specify a cost in some manner? For example, there might be a naive filter to fiddle something which has a high cost; and some very efficient alternative path via an FFT, something weird, and then an inverse FFT - three elements, but it could be quicker... Also, the quality of the trasformed data might be a useful thing to be able to maximise. You might have a quick'n'dirty filter for compressing mp3s and a slow but good filter: selecting whether to maximise for speed or quality could affect which of these gets used. A first implementation could ignore this, but they might be useful things for later. -- Richard
