Watch: Jónsi's Eye-Popping Paint Ad
By Ryan Dombal on July 8, 2010 at 2:40 p.m. EDT
Photo by Lilja and Inga Birgisdottir
A few international companies got together and started something called the Let's Colour Project. It aims to "spread colour all over the world" by teaming up with communities to paint buildings, houses, roads, public places, what have you.
An incredible new two-minute commercial for the initiative features entire towns getting spruced up via slick time-lapse photography. Making the whole thing even more uplifting is its soundtrack: the majestic "Go Do" from Sigur Rós front man Jónsi's recent solo album.
Watch Jónsi Perform Unreleased Song "Icicle Sleeves" on Pitchfork.tv
By Larry Fitzmaurice on June 21, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. EDT
For the latest installment of Pitchfork.tv's Cemetery Gates series, Sigur Rós main man Jónsi brought his band, some stripped-down instrumentation, and his feather-laden outfit to a chapel in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetary. For the first part of the session, they performed hushed yet swelling takes on unreleased live staple "Icicle Sleeves" and the building Go cut "Kolnidur". These guys were born to perform in chapels.
Watch below, or over at Pitchfork.tv. Look for more from the Jónsi Cemetary Gates session this week on Pitchfork.tv.

LCD front page photo by Ruvan Wijesooriya, photo on this page by Natalie Kardos
Basically every band you like played a song on TV last night: LCD Soundsystem ("Drunk Girls" on "Later With Jools Holland"), the National ("Bloodbuzz Ohio" on "Later With Jools Holland"), MGMT ("Brian Eno" plus an hour-long webcast on the "Late Show With David Letterman"), J贸nsi ("Go Do" on "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson"), and Los Campesinos! ("Romance Is Boring" on "Last Call With Carson Daly"). LCD were the best.

Photo by Lilja and Inga Birgisdottir
Sigur R贸s leader J贸nsi is currently on the road supporting his excellent solo bow, Go. And, based on the following professionally-recorded live clip, it looks to be quite the spectacle-- he's got a Broadway-ready backdrop and costumes and everything, courtesy of Fifty Nine Productions. Plus, the drummer is super into it. Watch the video of Go's "Sinking Friendships" and check out upcoming J贸nsi dates-- including a few just-added UK stops-- below:
Echo Chamber: Jónsi and Nico Muhly
By Amy Phillips on April 12, 2010 at 10:45 a.m. EDT
Jónsi photo by Lilja and Inga Birgisdóttir
Jónsi: My big gripe with being gay in Iceland is that I can't donate blood. It's so fucking stupid.
Nico Muhly: It's the same shit in America. I tried donating after 9/11 and they were asking "Have you had anal sex with a man in the last twelve months?" My jaw dropped. I was all like "FUCK YOU! You had sex with your dumb husband in the last twelve months, I presume."
Jónsi: This rule is a fucking joke. They only ask gay guys if they had anal sex. They don't care if you're a straight person and you've fucked every woman you know in the ass. That's fine.
Nico Muhly: If you one time put it in some guys pooper, you can't save someone else's life.
-- Icelandic Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi and American Nico Muhly debate their respective countries' homophobic blood donation laws. (via the Reykjavík Grapevine)
Hear LPs From Jónsi and David Byrne/Fatboy Slim
By Tom Breihan on March 30, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
We're still a week away from the April 6 release date of Go, the latest release from Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi, but you can hear the album now. Up until the release date, the entire LP is streaming over at NPR Music. Go get your ethereal chamber-pop on right here.
Go isn't the only big April 6 album streaming on NPR Music. You can also visit the site to hear both discs of Here Lies Love, the new 2xCD concept album from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. The record, which chronicles the life of the shoe-obsessed former Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos, includes guest appearances from Santigold, Cyndi Lauper, Florence Welch (of Florence & the Machines), the B-52's Kate Pierson, Sharon Jones, Tori Amos, and a whole mess of others. Here it here.
Watch Sigur Rós Frontman Jónsi Perform Acoustically With Nico Muhly
By Ryan Dombal on March 26, 2010 at 12:40 p.m. EDT
Sigur R贸s frontman J贸nsi's debut solo album Go is out April 5 (April 6 in North America) via XL. The deluxe version features lots of goodies, including a digital EP with bonus tracks and Go Quiet, a full-length DVD directed by Dean Deblois (who did the Sigur R贸s film Heima) that captures J贸nsi performing the entire album acoustically at home in Iceland on New Year's Day 2010. It also includes a four-song set recorded at a "working men's club" in the London neighborhood of Bethnal Green, with arranger Nico Muhly on piano. The Bethnal Green sessions also star a peacock meandering about. This guy likes birds.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can watch all four songs recorded at Bethnal Green below (via Spin, GvsB, Spinner, and Paste):
Hear MGMT's New Album Right Now
By Tom Breihan on March 22, 2010 at 10:55 a.m. EDT
Congratulations, the sophomore album from MGMT, won't be out officially until April 13, but the sprawling, mutating LP is already floating around out on the interwebs. So the NY psych-pop duo has taken steps to make sure you don't hear a shitty low-bitrate version of it. Over on the duo's website, they've posted the entire album as a free stream, and you don't even have to enter an email address or anything.
Video Premiere: Jónsi: "Go Do"
By Ryan Dombal on February 8, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EST
Homepage photo by Lilja and Inga Birgisd贸ttir
There's a distinct bird theme going on with Sigur R贸s frontman J贸nsi's forthcoming solo LP, Go, out April 6 on XL. He's wearing some feathers on the record's cover and in promo photos, and the video for new track "Go Do" is filled with animals that can fly. Pigeons, parakeets, and more keep the face-painted singer company in the clip, which you can watch now at Pitchfork.tv or below:
Listen: New Track From Sigur Rós Frontman Jónsi: "Go Do"

The overflowing, super-orchestrated debut solo album from Sigur R贸s main man J贸nsi, Go, is due April 6 via XL. There's a tour. There's the incredible track "Boy Lilikoi". And now there's another song from the album, "Go Do", currently streaming right here. (Via Spinner.) Spinner also reports that "Go Do" will be released on a three-track EP on March 22.
There are also a lot of excellent photos and videos and things popping up on J贸nsi's website. My current favorite is an in-studio video of the singer mixing the new album-- which apparently includes the sound of swarming bees. It's embedded below:

Avatara's review of Slayer "Still Reigning" DVD,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Still Reigning [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
I love Slayer and Slayer live is an awesome experience but this dvd is marred by tiny black gaps between every song. The set list is amazing as it is the entire "Reign in blood" album live and in your face. The best part is when duringng the raining blood song the band are covered head to toe in raining blood from the ceiling. There are other Slayer live standards on the DVD but they are in the extras section. I feel that the DVD would have been better if it was done like the gigs where "Reign in blood" was the surprising and amazing encore of the show. The idea of raining blood on the band was genius and totally unexpected and I feel that it will be almost impossible to top that. This DVD is a must for all Slayer maniacs as it is totally mind blowing but there is the issue of the broken up live set to contend with, it doesn't flow as a live gig should. If you love Slayer then you need this in your collection as it celebrates the return of Dave Lombardo to the band after a long sabbatical. Slayer - Reign In Blood Live - Still Reigning [DVD] [NTSC]

A TDMA system operates without the requirement for a reference burst. A station in the TDMA system monitors the bursts from other stations to determine the virtual reference. The virtual reference is then used as the basis, at the station, for transmitting its own burst. For carrier-based TDMA systems, the station can also determine a virtual carrier reference. This is implemented by measuring the received carrier from a plurality of bursts. The received carrier frequency of all of the bursts that have been received can then be averaged, and after correcting for frequency translation introduced by the transponder, the result can be employed as a virtual carrier reference.
1. A method of timing the transmission of a burst from a transmitting station in a TDMA system comprising the steps of:
a) detecting bursts located in a TDMA frame received at the transmitting station;
b) monitoring the locations in said received bursts of unique words contained in said received bursts;
c) deriving, in response to said monitoring step, a virtual frame reference; and,
d) timing the transmission of at least one burst transmitted from the transmitting station based on the virtual frame reference derived in said deriving step.
2. The method of claim 1 in which said deriving step (c) comprises averaging the monitored locations of the received bursts.
3. The method of claim 1 or 2 in which said monitoring step (b) comprises monitoring the location of each received burst of a frame.
4. The method of claim 1 in which said monitoring step (b) includes:
(b1) creating an aperture having a centerline based on one of said received bursts; and
(b2) measuring the locations of said unique words relative to the aperture centerline.
5. The method of claim 1 in which said timing step (d) includes:
(d1) transmitting a trial burst having a shortened duration in a first frame; and
(d2) transmitting a full burst having a longer duration than the trial burst in a succeeding frame.
6. The method of claim 5 further including:
(e) measuring the location of said trial burst in a TDMA frame as it is received at the transmitting station; and

This invention relates to communications systems, and more particularly to implementing a virtual reference scheme in Time Division Multiple Access systems.
Time Division Multiple Access communications systems are widely used in the communications field because of their efficient use of available bandwidth. The key to TDMA operation is the necessity for each of the transmitting stations to transmit their respective burst transmissions in an appropriate time sequence so that the bursts appear sequentially at a repeater or common location in the system. Misalignment of the timing results in bursts which overlap to a lesser or greater extent. Overlap caused by improper timing can degrade the execution of the communication function. Early TDMA systems used a reference station, commonly identified to all of the stations in the network. A specified transmission burst of the reference station (whether or not it was a special reference burst), when received by the other stations, would be used for timing purposes. Because of the essential nature of the reference, in enabling the other stations to time their bursts, elaborate procedures were worked out in order to handle the condition in which the burst from the reference station was absent. (See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,054,753 and the references cited therein.)
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,262,356 and 4,630,267 appear to show how burst timing for one station can be implemented without a frame reference by merely timing from another burst in the frame. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,574,379 has some similarity in this regard.) The problem with this arrangement is that it does not take account of the timing of more than a single burst and as a result will insure the propagation of any timing error in the burst on which the timing is based. While both U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,262,356 and 4,630,267 mention timing based on all received bursts, the transmitting station's burst is based on the earliest transmit time indication of all the other bursts, see col. 4, lines 24-27 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,630,267 as well as col. 6, lines 7-14 and col. 9, lines 25-31 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,262,356.
Over and above the reference timing function, there is another synchronization requirement in TDMA networks which are carrier based. The synchronization function requires that each of the stations have a common estimate of the transmit carrier frequency.
In systems which use a reference station, each of the other stations can attempt to synchronize their own transmit carrier to their estimate of the reference station's transmit carrier frequency. In a system, such as to be described hereinafter, where there is no reference station, clearly some other procedure must be used so as to provide a station with information respecting an appropriate transmit carrier frequency. U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,413 proposes a system for synchronizing transmit carrier frequencies in a TDMA/TDM system. However, in the system described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,413, the stations receive a TDM (not a TDMA) signal from a central source. In contrast to U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,413, a typical TDMA system directs a frame of bursts from a geosynchronous satellite to each of the stations. Each burst in the frame may have originated from a different station and while each of those stations is nominally operating on an identical transmit carrier frequency, account must be taken of the fact that the frequencies will, of necessity, differ. This variation in transmit carrier frequencies is maintained inasmuch as the satellite transponder merely translates each of the bursts it receives by a fixed frequency offset. As a result, any differences between transmit carrier frequencies at the different transmitting stations is reflected in the carrier frequency of the bursts received by the stations. Thus the arrangement described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,413 does not resolve the problem of identifying an appropriate carrier frequency in a TDMA system.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide for TDMA timing functions without the disadvantages evidenced by those systems which designate a common reference station.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a virtual TDMA reference which eliminates altogether the necessity for dedicating bandwidth for supporting the timing function and at the same time simplifies and therefore minimizes the processing required to support the timing function.
More particularly, in accordance with the present invention, the TDMA timing at any station in the network is derived from a virtual reference which is computed by merely detecting the bursts from other stations in the network.
Furthermore, in accordance with the present invention, the TDMA transmit carrier frequency at any station in the network is derived from a virtual reference which is computed by detecting the different carrier frequencies of the bursts in a frame.
Thus, in accordance with the invention, a virtual reference with respect to the TDMA timing and carrier frequency is constructed from the bursts which the station can hear (that is, receive transmission from). With regard to timing information, the virtual reference is a function of the received burst location within the frame for all bursts which are actually received. With regard to frequency synchronization, the virtual reference is a function of the received burst frequencies as well as the nominal frequency of the station. The present invention overcomes the limitation that the frequency of a station cannot be extended beyond a predetermined limit, by taking into account the nominal frequency of the station and allowing the virtual reference to converge to a frequency within the limits of the frequency tuning range of the station.
As an example, a station attempting to enter an existing network performs the following steps:
(1) Without transmitting, the entering station searches the channel for bursts from other stations;
(2) The entering station examines the locations of the bursts in time (this can be simply effected by detecting the location of a unique word typically included within each burst) and (at least for carrier based channels) also examines the received carrier frequencies;
(3) The entering station then computes a virtual reference. The virtual reference includes a virtual carrier frequency and a virtual TDMA reference. The carrier frequency can be determined by a procedure as simple as averaging the detected carrier frequencies. Likewise, the locations of the various unique words can also be averaged within the receive aperture. Alternatively, more complex functions can be implemented based on additional information such as a timing plan, etc.;
(4) Based on this virtual reference, the entering station begins transmitting in that station's designated slot. Note that for certain protocols such as slotted ALOHA or reservation based systems, the designated slot can be any random vacant slot;
(5) Having begun transmitting, the entering station can then monitor the location of its burst in the frame so as to alter the transmit timing in order to bring the location of the unique word detection to the nominal center of the aperture;
(6) The entering station then tracks the virtual reference for each frame and preferably applies a smoothing operation to prevent the virtual reference from jumping around too much. Using the smoothing operation, transmit timing is adjusted to maintain the location of the unique word at the nominal center of the aperture;
The foregoing procedure will work regardless of the number of stations in the system so long as there is no subset of the set of stations {S(0), S(1), S(2), . . . . S(n)}, such that all of the members of the subset can neither hear nor be heard by any member not in the subset. In other words, if station A can hear station B and station B can hear station C, but station A cannot hear station C directly, the network will nevertheless, using this procedure, achieve synchronization because A can hear C indirectly, that is, via station B. If on the other hand, A can hear B but neither A nor B can hear C or D, then the network can be considered segmented and cannot be synchronized by any method.
The present invention will now be described so as to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same in the following portions of this specification when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 illustrate varieties of TDMA systems within which the invention can be used;
FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate a typical TDMA frame;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a typical TDMA terminal or station;
FIG. 6 illustrates the creation of an aperture and the measurement, based on an aperture of burst locations of various different bursts in a TDMA frame, in order to create a VIR REF; and
FIG. 7 shows how a site, intending to transmit, uses VIR REF in order to determine its own burst start time Bs.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical TDMA system 12 when used with a geostationary satellite which carries a transponder 10. Communication is implemented in the system 12 as shown in FIG. 1, wherein each of the stations 20-1 through 20-n transmit on a (nominally) common transmit frequency and likewise receive on a (nominally) common receive frequency. The transponder 10 effects a frequency translation, receiving on the common transmit frequency and transmitting on the common receive frequency. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is implemented by arranging the transmissions from each of the stations in a burst form and then timing those bursts so that when they reach the transponder 10, they interleave in time. In the prior art, a frame format is defined as existing between periodic repetitions of a frame marker. In some cases, the frame marker can be a dedicated sync burst which is transmitted by a reference station to serve that purpose. In other systems, the frame marker consists of the beginning of a burst from a station which has been designated the reference station. The data traffic located between sequential instances of the reference marker is a frame. FIG. 2A shows a typical frame as consisting of bursts from the various stations. In some systems, each station sends a burst in every frame; in other systems, the existence of a station's burst is dependent on whether the station has data traffic available for transmission. The number of bursts transmitted by a station within a frame is also variable, i.e. it may be greater than 1. The location of a station's burst in a frame is, however, determined by that station's receipt of the reference marker. For example, the initiation of a burst 2 from station 20-2 must be delayed from the reference marker (in time) by a quantity which is related to the duration of the first reference burst. Typically, each burst has an initial portion dedicated to a Unique Word (UW). Detection of the UW then defines the initiation of any particular burst. Typically, either the UW or some other portion of the burst will identify the station which is transmitting. In some systems, correlation between stations and burst location in the frame is preassigned, either permanently or semi-permanently. Under these circumstances, each station will be aware of the effective burst assignment prior to attempting to initiate its own transmission. In other systems, there is no assignment at all, i.e. the system operates on a random assignment basis, such as ALOHA.
FIG. 2B illustrates a frame in which the burst in the second time slot t2 is not present. The application of the invention to a station which has access to the second slot in the frame will be described. In order to transmit, the station must locate its burst within that slot. In a typical prior art system, wherein the frame included a reference marker, timing the transmission is implemented merely by locating the reference marker and then timing the transmission relative to that reference marker, based on the desired slot position in the frame. In accordance with the present invention there is, however, no reference marker.
In accordance with the invention, the entering station which is to access slot t2 first searches for the bursts from other stations. The entering station will generate a virtual marker for use in timing its own transmission by examining the locations of the bursts which have been received from other stations. The burst location which is received from other stations can be defined relative to the unique word location in each burst.
FIG. 6 shows the measurement of burst location for several bursts, e.g. bursts A, B, C, D, E, . . . n. A station desiring to initiate transmission first detects the existence of a burst. Based on that detection, an aperture is created (such as the APERTURE) shown in FIG. 6. The station then measures the burst location of each of a successive number of bursts relative to a nominal center line of the APERTURE. FIG. 6 shows that the location of the initiation of bursts A, B, C, D, E, . . . n have been measured relative to the nominal center line CLN. Averaging these values produces a location for VIR REF, the virtual reference. In order to measure the location of successive bursts, the aperture which is created based on detection of one burst is repeated at the appropriate rate. Having averaged the burst location to establish VIR REF, the station can then locate its own burst relative to VIR REF. This is illustrated in FIG. 7.
FIG. 7 shows the location of VIR REF s (the location of VIR REF measured at the site). Advancing VIR REF in time by the duration of the propagation delay establishes the location of VIR REFt (at the transponder 10) . Then, delaying the VIR REFt by a time consumed between VIR REF and initiation of the station's own transmission (which is equal to ns �ts, the product of the number (ns) of slots (t1 -tn) between Start of Frame, SOF, and the start of the site's burst, and the duration ts of each slot provides an estimate of the appropriate time Bt for the station's burst at the transponder. Advancing this estimate (Bt), in time, by the propagation delay establishes the appropriate time, Bs at the site, to initiate the station's own burst. This time (Bs) can then be advanced by a frame time, or several frame times, so as to compute a time in the future which would be appropriate for the station's burst.
Having determined an appropriate time for the station's own transmission, based on the virtual reference, the station can then transmit at the appropriate time. Typically, this transmission will be a shortened burst, and the burst may even be delayed from the calculated appropriate time Bs so as to avoid interfering with other bursts in case of error. Having transmitted this trial burst, the station can monitor the position of the trial burst relative to the rest of the frame.
The apparatus for performing this operation is shown in FIG. 3, as it would preferably be configured for utilization. FIG. 3 shows the apparatus at a typical ground station (not shown). Data which is available for transmission is input to a buffer 110. The buffer 110 in turn drives a framer 120. The output of the framer 120 is provided to a transmitter 130, whose output in turn is coupled to the remaining portion of the transmit chain. In order to establish the appropriate time to initiate transmission, a receiver 150 monitors transmissions from the transponder 10. One output of the receiver 150 is provided to a unique word detector 160. The unique word detector 160 signals the timing modifier 140 on detection of each unique word. The timing modifier 140 performs the functions shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. More particularly, upon receipt of a unique word, the timing modifier 140 creates an aperture, and then measures a succession of unique word locations relative to a nominal centerline, CLN, of the aperture (APERTURE), in order to establish a virtual reference (VIR REF). The virtual reference (VIR REF) is then modified as shown in FIG. 7 based on the position within the frame of the station's slot, and at the appropriate time, the timing modifier 140 signals the framer 120 to insert the station's unique word and output data for transmission.
Having initially derived a virtual reference marker, as described, and transmitted a trial burst, the station can then maintain its burst at the appropriate location in the frame in a similar fashion except that the station of course no longer need transmit a trial burst. More particularly, the station continues to monitor the location of the bursts within the frame (including its own) in order to determine a virtual reference and then, based on that virtual reference, timing its own burst. In this steady state operation, the station can also employ smoothing in an attempt to minimize timing errors caused by false detection or misdetection of a unique word. This smoothing can be as simple as a 1-tap digital filter wherein the present unique word detection location is averaged with the last virtual reference marker, with the location of the virtual reference marker weighted more heavily than the present unique word detection. Alternatively, a more complicated predictor can be used that attempts to estimate the location of the present unique word based on previous bursts from that station and then uses the actual unique word detection location to update the prediction for the next burst. Further elaboration of the various smoothing type mechanisms that can be employed is not necessary to a description of the present invention since many smoothing techniques are well-known in the art.
The foregoing has described how a station operating in the TDMA system without a reference station can establish a virtual reference based on the transmissions of other stations and initiate its own transmission.
Another important consideration in a TDMA system operating without a reference station is the transmit carrier frequency itself. Using the principles of the present invention, a station can also establish a virtual carrier frequency reference, based on the carrier frequencies detected in the transmissions of other stations. Using this virtual carrier frequency, the frequency control element 190 provides a transmit frequency offset signal to the transmitter 130 for establishing the transmit carrier frequency for the station.
More particularly, the receiver 150 may be a conventional receiver which, in the course of receiving a signal, creates a local signal whose frequency and phase match the frequency and phase of the received signal's carrier. The receiver 150 monitors the accuracy of its estimate of the received carrier (in frequency and phase) by mixing the two signals together, low pass filtering the result, slicing the low pass filtered signal, recovering the clock information within the sliced signal and then resampling with the recovered clock. Accordingly, the locally generated signal is an accurate estimate of the received carrier (in phase and frequency). Thus, the receiver 150 can determine the receive frequency offset, i.e. the amount by which the received carrier frequency differs from the nominal received carrier frequency. This received frequency offset is then employed in the frequency control 190. For example, the receive frequency offset from a number of bursts can be averaged or otherwise mathematically combined to generate an average receive frequency offset. This average receive frequency offset can then be used in the frequency control 190 to generate an appropriate transmit frequency offset. The transmitter 130 then employs the transmit frequency offset provided by the frequency control 190 to generate the transmit carrier frequency for the station. In this fashion then, the station generates its own estimate of a virtual carrier frequency and employs that virtual carrier frequency for transmission purposes.
The carrier frequency estimation process can be improved by taking into account the station's nominal carrier frequency. If a station updates its carrier frequency based solely on receptions from other stations, and if the channel is introducing unknown frequency offsets (as in a satellite or mobile channel due to doppler), then it is clear that each station's estimate of the other carrier frequencies are corrupted by the unknown frequency offset. Including information about the station's own nominal frequency serves as a bias against this type of error. For example, rather than merely averaging the received frequencies (adjusting for any necessary frequency offset), each station estimates the average of the nominal carrier frequencies of all stations rather than the average of the actual received frequencies. For example, each station measures the carrier frequencies of the other stations and averages those measurements with its own nominal carrier frequency and adjusts its own carrier frequency to that average. Even in this raechanism, a longer term average or smoothing operation is appropriate to mitigate the effects of measurement errors. Under these circumstances, even though the measurements may be corrupted by frequency offsets in the channel, the result will not wander too far from the nominal frequency. A further refinement in this mechanism attempts to estimate the amount of channel frequency offset and then correct all frequency measurements by this amount. This makes the resulting frequency averages much closer to the ideal because much of the unknown error can be removed. For example, each station measures the difference between its own receive frequency and its transmit frequency (corrected for any nominal channel frequency offset or frequency translation at the transponder). This difference is an estimate of the channel frequency offset. The estimate may then be refined by time averaging or other means. Using this estimate of the channel frequency offset, the received frequency is corrected by this frequency offset so that the result of the station's computation produces a virtual carrier frequency which has much of the channel frequency offset removed.
This can be expressed as follows. Assuming the measured receive frequencies are fR1, fR2, . . . fR3 and the station's measurement of the carrier frequency of its own burst is fR0. The station can make its own estimate of the channel induced frequency translation as follows:
δfchannel =fT0 -fR0 �FT
fT0 =the station's transmit carrier frequency,
FT=the transponder frequency translation,
δfchannel =the channel induced frequency translation,
where the sign of FT which is employed depends upon the direction of the frequency translation at the transponder. Having determined the channel induced frequency translation δfchannel, each received carrier frequency can be corrected as follows:
fR1C =fR1 -δfchannel,
where fR1C is the corrected receive frequency.
Using this procedure to correct for the channel induced frequency translation, a virtual transmit frequency is determined as a function of (fR1C +fR2C. . . fRnC)�FT, wherein the function itself can be a simple average or a more complicated procedure.
The foregoing has described an application of the present invention to carrier based TDMA systems using a geostationary transponder. FIGS. 4 and 5 show other applications of TDMA systems which can also employ the present invention. More particularly, FIG. 4 shows that a plurality of stations 30-1 through 30-n engage in TDMA communications over a cable W. Signals travel over the cable W in a single direction. Those signals can either be baseband or modulated on a carrier. Those skilled in the art will understand how the system of FIG. 4 is an analog of the system shown in FIG. 1 so that the teachings of the present invention can be used to allow each of the stations to use a virtual reference (both for transmit timing as well as carrier frequency, if necessary) as described hereinabove.
FIG. 5 is another TDMA system using signals modulated on a carrier for allowing TDMA communications among stations 40-1 through 40-n. The repeater 45 shown in FIG. 5 includes a frequency translating transponder, but the repeater 45 is not necessarily located in a geosynchronous orbit. Thus, the repeater 45 can be another ground-based station and/or a mobile station (airborne or vehicle-carried).
It should be apparent from the foregoing that a TDMA system has been described which does not require the services of a reference station, either for TDMA timing or for carrier frequency synchronization. It should also be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made to the particular embodiment described herein. For example, while locating a burst by detecting the location of a unique word in or near the burst preamble is conventional in the art, in fact a burst can be located by detection of a unique word anywhere within the burst, assuming the location of the unique word within the burst is predetermined. These and other changes can be made without departing spirit or scope of the present invention, which is not to be limited by the specific embodiment described herein, but rather is to be construed in accordance with the claims appended hereto.

By Mark McEwen I woke up in a hospital bed surrounded by my father, sisters, brother, best friend, cousin and my wife, Denise. It was 2005, I had survived my stroke, barely, and had been in a coma for two days. I was so far gone I didn't even know I had been in one. My wife had to make some hard decisions with the doctor and those decisions had saved my life. Little did I know my journey had …

Older Americans are living longer than ever, with a life expectancy at age 65 of about 20 more years for women and 18 more years for men, according to a new government report. Americans' life expectancy from birth also reached a record high in 2012 — 78.8 years, said researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

HP Touchpad: Can It Be Charged By 3rd Party Chargers?
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
GRINGO X: My Touchpad is charging right now with the USB cable that came with my Samsung GS3 phone and the official HP adapter.
E. Sanchez: Dummies video ever...she clearly lives alone
Keyon Vlogs (Keyon Black): it dose not work with other chargers because the wall adapter has to have 8v
udayhomeful: Short note: READ THE FINE PRINT (on the charger)
Long note: read the charger output on HP original charger and get replacement charger with similar output.
Kelli Allen: Where is located at
AverageJoProduction: Thank you so much for the video! I havent been able to use my touchpad for months because my cable broke. Thanks to you, I now know i only have to have the adapter!!!! Thanks!
hall pass: also I may add that it was done very unprofessional and boring.
hall pass: this was the most boring video of all times YouTube has to be great for the stuff that this woman think she knows what she's talking about but clearly doesn't.
that'll be all
Brittany K. Brown: cut the charging time by a third party charger nearly in half by putting the device on airplane mode while charging. cheers!
JD L: ok you have a hot voice!
Laz911: Thanks for the video, wish I foudn it sooner. I did a lot of research on this myself. I found that the HP charager is a 10W, 2 Amp charger. Most of the chargers I tried to replace it with were 5v, 1amps ones, and they only ghave me problems. I found a charger that seems to work fine, it's a 5v, 2.1amp charger from a company called "Tech & Go". I picked it up in Walgreens for $15. Just be sure to make sure you get the 2.1 amp one, they have a 1 amp one for $10 that looks exaxtly like it.
Alex Wharton: Its not burning them out, they are either breaking from you being rough with it or just because you are using low quality USB cables, the charger would not cause a loose connection, the USB cable that came with the HP TouchPad is terrible, as in it breaks really easily! I usually get them on ebay for a good price, search this on ebay "6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro-B 5pin Male Cable"
Alex Wharton: Until the battery dies, then you need the HP one again to get it to start charging again.
adallas181: freak you, jackass
andicustherobot: Jesus, this is a pain. Especially since the U in USB stands for Universal
di007001: Yes I found this to be true also, unfortunately, I lost my cord :(
as128: I find that the original charger keeps burning-out micro-USB cables like crazy. I have no idea why. It's always the same pattern: works at first, then stops working unless you tilt the cable up during charging, then stops working completely. But if I use a new cable then it works again with no tilting. Grrrr.
cushe83: Okay so i have an LG USB cord worth the original HP barrel. Unfortunately my hp died completely down out if power can i get it back to life with this cord ? I've been reading you can't
fireball74: I've had Android installed on my TP for a long time. I have yet to have a non-HP charger work correctly. It shows the charging indicator, but never really charges. This is due to non-standard hardware pin-outs in the HP/Palm charging system, not software. I'd like to try a Palm Pre charger, but I'm not sure I want to spend the money just to have it not work.
Ken, Mirjana & Kim PILLIG: I changed my TP to Android, now all of my micro-USB chargers work; Galaxy S2, Plantronics Bluetooth etc.

Best pickup trucks
Best pickup trucks
Pickups are like blue jeans: They're durable, rugged, and versatile. Full-sized trucks make towing and carrying heavy cargo a breeze. And compared with trucks of yore, modern pickups offer an improved ride, quieter cabins, and the same convenience features found in cars. Most trucks come in endless combinations of engine size, bed length, and cabin configuration. Full-sized trucks are the most widely sold, but compact pickups cost less, have cargo beds that are easier to access, and are still handy.
Drawbacks: Full-sized trucks can be big, bulky gas-guzzlers with a high step-up and clumsy handling, and anything left in the open bed is exposed to the elements. Compact pickups usually have mediocre fuel economy, and given big incentives on full-sized trucks, they often don't cost much less.
It trails the Silverado in our Ratings, but for daily use we would all choose the more comfortable and refined Ram 1500. The 5.7-liter V8 delivers effortless power and returned 15 mpg overall with the smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The roomy cabin is luxurious, with plenty of connectivity features, but the Ram is fully capable of hard work. Its coil-spring rear suspension smooths the ride without hurting towing and hauling abilities. The diesel engine, unique among half-ton trucks, promises to improve fuel economy.
Price as tested: $42,810
Overall mpg: 15
If you don't need the heft of a full-sized truck, consider the agile and carlike Ridgeline. It has a supple, steady ride and several unique features, including a weatherproof, lockable storage compartment below the composite bed and a tailgate that can swing out or drop down. The V6 provides ample power and a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The standard backup camera not only improves rear visibility but also helps when hooking up a trailer. But the
Ridgeline's fuel economy isn't any better than that of more capable full-sized trucks.
Price as tested: $30,825
Overall mpg: 15
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (V8)/GMC Sierra 1500 (V8)
Ford F-150 (V8)
Toyota Tacoma (V6)
Any full-sized pickup can be set up to maximize its cargo and towing capabilities, but we were impressed with our Silverado's native abilities when we tested it. The easy-lift tailgate is a plus, and toeholds integrated into the back bumper make it easy to climb into the cargo bed. The F-150 offers many work-truck features and generous towing and payload capacities, and it offers a unique and handy pull-out step in the tailgate, as well as side-bed steps. The compact Tacoma has impeccable towing and hauling credentials and is a great off-roader. Unfortunately, it has a dreadful ride and handles clumsily.

Champions League - Copenhagen frustrate Barca
FC Copenhagen held on for a precious 1-1 draw against Barcelona in their Champions League Group D clash at Parken.
Barcelona deserved their lead on 31 minutes when Lionel Messi latched onto a loose ball in the box to fire home from close range.
But barely a minute into the second half, Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes failed to hold on to a routine cross, allowing Brazilian midfielder Claudemir to hook the ball into an empty net.
In a second half which saw chances fall to both sides, Pedro came closest to clinching victory for the Catalan club in the dying seconds, when he expertly cut inside from the left, before unleashing a rasping right-footed effort against the inside of the far post.
Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol were, at times, stretched by Jesper Gronkjaer's intelligent runs outwide, with Claudemir's smart passing exploiting gaps in midfield to put Barcelona's defensive pairing on the back foot.
But the initial waves of Copenhagen attacks receded as Barcelona found their feet.
Andres Iniesta and David Villa grew in influence as the half went on, and it was no surprise to see them both involved in Barcelona's opener.
Seydou Keita, who was lively throughout, cushioned a header into the path of Villa in the box and, although Mathias Jorgensen did a decent job of hooking the ball away from Villa, his clearance only found Messi, who took a touch before firing in from close range.
The goal had been coming, but it was galling to see it scored by Messi, whom the Copenhagen back line had kept quiet for much of the first 30 minutes, in no small part to William Kvist, who was superb in his holding role all night.
But the Danish side, motivated by the coruscating atmosphere in the stadium, refused to retreat to lick their wounds, and hit back within a minute of the restart.
Daniel Alves, so assured in attacking positions, was caught too high up the pitch, as Gronkjaer nipped past him. The former Chelsea winger dinked a routine ball into the box which Valdes flapped at rather than caught or punched clear, leaving Claudemir to hook the ball back across the face of goal and just inside the far post.
Alves was lucky not to see red for kicking out at Ozcar Wendt after being cynically blocked off by the Dane, feeling aggrieved at the manner of the body-check. Had that moment of petulance been witnessed by the officials, Alves would surely have been walking towards the tunnel.
The second half was tit-for-tat, with both sides showing a willingness to go in search of the win. Iniesta came close for Barcelona when his shot, after a jinking run from the left, was saved by the excellent Johan Wiland in the Copenhagen goal.
The home side's best opportunity fell to N'Doye, whose header found the back of the net, but the Senegalese striker was penalised for pushing Eric Abidal in the back as he leapt above the Frenchman.
Pedro perhaps deserved a goal for his masterful technique in both crafting the space to shoot, then executing a sensational shot which would have been deserving of the match-winner.
But Copenhagen held on after a resolute display and, with seven points from four games, the Danes are now on course to progress to the knockout round.
Copenhagen deserved the point, if only for their unwavering resilience throughout, and the Danish side remain within a point of the Spanish giants in second spot after Rubin Kazan's goalless draw with Panathinaikos.

I'm using cherrypy to mimic an existing RESTful interface. One requirement is that I have is to be able to add objects on the fly.
So, for example, let's say I have an object, called myobj. I want to be able to expose a method that is based on an object added by the user. So, I would have an "add" context, where I create the object
and I would be able to retrieve the object that's created, as well as any children:
Is this possible with cherrypy? Should I be investigating a different framework?

Dietary Supplement
Brain Enhancement Supplement*Memory | Recall | Concentration*
Focus Formula is an advanced dietary supplement designed to help support memory, recall, mental focus and concentration. The natural ingredients in Focus Formula have been selected to specifically help the brain function at its best. Focus Formula combines three star ingredients, DHA, Huperzine A, and Vinpocetine, to give you one of the most effective formulas for brain enhancement.
Focus Formula is a natural dietary supplement designed to help support memory, recall and concentration, The vitamins in Focus Formula have been selected because they are believed to specifically help support brain function. Vitamins C and E may help protect the blood vessels in the brain from free radical damage, Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid may help with healthy neurotransmitter formation.
There are three star ingredients in Focus Formula: DHA, Huperzine A and Vinpocetine. The Essential Fatty Acid Complex in Focus Formula contains DHA. DHA is vital to normal brain development in fetuses and infants. DHA also plays a big part in maintaining the fluidity in brain cells and therefore may play a major role in the normal maintenance of cognition and mood. Huperzine A shows promise in helping to support alertness and memory. Huperzine A, which is naturally derived from a special kind of moss, Huperzia serrata, helps to increase and maintain the efficacy of an important neurotransmitter call acetylcholine. Last, but not least, Vinpocetine has demonstrated antioxidant activity equal to that of vitamin E. Vinpocetine may help support memory enhancement. This action is thought to be derived from its ability to help increase the circulation of blood and oxygen to the brain.
Focus Formula combines all the best ingredients into one supplement to help keep your memory, recall, and concentration working at its best.
