Intel's TV Service: Is Hollywood on Board?
A service offering a la carte channels outside of conventional cable bundles could launch sometime this year.
Will 2013 be the year that TV viewers begin picking and choosing which cable networks to subscribe to online instead of having channels bundled together by cable and satellite distributors? Industry observers will be watching next week's Consumer Electronics Association summit for indications of the road ahead.
In the past week, Intel has provoked some buzz with reports that the multinational chip maker is working on a set-top box that will deliver IPTV to consumers. How far the company will go with its product is an open question. According to Forbes, Intel is prepared to invest heavily and has been able to negotiate licensing agreements with Hollywood allowing customers to subscribe per channel as well as have the ability to use "Cloud DVR" features.
STORY: Chip Maker Intel Working on Online TV Service
The Wall Street Journal also reports about Intel's TV plans, but hedges on whether the company has made any real progress on the deal front. The paper notes skepticism from those in the TV industry who fear disrupting relationships with cable- and satellite-operators and cites one TV executive who doesn't want to be the first to negotiate a deal with Intel.
Intel is scheduled to hold a press event at CES, but both publications say that the company isn't quite ready to discuss its television plans yet. The rollout of Intel's TV service could come as early as March in beta testing (Forbes) or somewhere in mid-2013 (WSJ).
There could be other announcements on the web TV front at CES.
For example, Aereo, the digital TV distributor with significant financial backing from Barry Diller that was launched to much fanfare and legal controversy in 2012, is prepared to make what it is pre-hyping as "big news" at CES.
Aereo announced in December that it would be adding the Bloomberg TV channel to its content package, and CEO Chet Kanojia has spoken in recent months about turning Aereo into a platform that would deliver an a la carte menu of cable channels at about $2 to $4 per channel. He is scheduled to make some sort of announcement Jan. 8 at the Citi Global Internet, Media & Telecommunications Conference in Las Vegas.
At the Jan. 8-11 CES show, announcements by Apple, Microsoft and Google -- all working on IPTV -- also will be followed by many in the TV industry. Google is reported to be unveiling a new integrated TV product, though few details are known at this point.

"The centre of the universe" Top 5 Page for this destination Ashland by b1bob
Ashland Travel Guide: 65 reviews and 110 photos
In spite of their snobbish contention that Ashland is the centre of the universe, I like showing my friends from out of town the fine architecture, the intriguing cultural differences with the rest of the county, and fine dining opportunities.
This town in north-central Hanover County doesn't have a whole lot in the way of tourism the way international travelers on VT might think, but it is not totally barren either. Along Railroad Avenue, the railroad tracks bisect the street lined by houses (some old and elegant). There is also the interesting architecture at Randolph Macon College. Christian Boettcher Leipzig and I had more time to give Ashland a better going-over. We had a self-guided tour of many of the old houses and businesses, the college campus, and the predominantly black Berkleytown.
The first time many of you had heard of Ashland, Virginia is during the October, 2002 shooting spree of the sniper. At this crime scene, the Ponderosa Steak House on Route 54, the victim was luckier than most. He survived with major internal injuries. Ashland seemed to get more coverage of the shooting than others because it is a fairly rural town not used to that type of crime.
Ashland is a great place to make part of a day trip. Go to the visitor's centre and train station first and they will get you where you want to go.
- Pros:Ashland is basically a nice, friendly small town with a rural flavour and some historical sights.
- Cons:They may be at the centre of the county, but hardly the centre of the universe.
- In a nutshell:The town in aesthetically pleasing, but you have to wonder about the people sometimes.

I drove through here but did not have time to stop. Thanks for the great page.
Well done!
O'Bank's-outstanding review. I love these small towns with historic architecture, (and BBQ ...pork is the only way!) is right up my alley! Your restaurant and shopping tips were outstanding. Love photo of you, your dad, your brother in the pumpkin patch.
Wow! I didn't know they also had a Thai restaurant in this town! This town looks cute and quiant, I don't mind visiting this place when I'm here.
Glad you found a good one this morning.
Excellent page - great updates!! Too bad the ice cream parlor was not open when we were here. Next time we better go there in the late evening.
Great new tips and updates. Thanks for sharing your journey with your friend to us. I just knew that you like lemon ice-cream so much...:)
Fantastic new pictures of old architecture - a must for me next time. Great tiny page, interesting place! I do believe your, VT - food connoisseur, choice: The Smokey Pig.
Photoshopping seems to go really well. It ads a little extra to the tip. Well done. frank.
Nice little page Nat, and great memories of your childhood ;-)))

Fedora 16 Alpha
was released back in August, but today it has been replaced by Fedora 16 Beta.
Fedora 16 "Verne" will be officially released in November, but now it's time to test out the beta to ensure minimal bugs will be in this major Red Hat sponsored release next month. Among the prominent new features is the GRUB2 boot-loader finally being deployed, continued systemd work, GNOME 3.2 desktop, SELinux enhancements, finishing up the removal of HAL, and a great deal of work when it comes to virtualization. There's also the usual updates to the Linux kernel, Mesa / X.Org, GCC, and other interesting packages.

Certificate of completion
|Section 1: Methodology
An introduction to the course.
This is just some notes about software design; partly because I want to explain why I don't know much about formal design methodologies and so won't cover them in this course (even though we will talk a fair bit about software design), partly just to explain what little I do know about it, and partly because I need to get a few things off my chest ....
|We'd better start by looking at the most fundamental of design patterns -- so fundamental that it can be overlooked, but it's the pattern that every software developer has in his or her head, and works from as a starting point.
|Section 2: Structural Patterns
In this tutorial we'll look at the theory behind MVC, before going on to implement an example
|In this tutorial we'll set up a basic MVC framework, leaving out the "listener" stuff, which we'll come back to later on.
We need the observer pattern in order to complete our model view controller pattern. Even if you don't use MVC, the observer pattern is vital to user interface programming. It's one of the vital structural patterns that hold modern software together. It can also be quite tricky to understand initially, so for that reason we'll go through the theory of it before actually tackling it.
Let's take a look at one of the easiest (inasmuch as this pattern can be called "easy") usages of the observer pattern; adding handlers to buttons in Swing. Don't worry if you don't know Swing; this code would look pretty much the same for a variety of situations involving timers and other uses of Observer.
|Let's take a look at an example implementation of the observer pattern. In this tutorial I'll make my "controller" listen to my "view" in my MVC implementation, but you could make any object listen to any other object. You just need some kind of a situation where the object being listened to can somehow signal that something has happened for some reason -- for example, a button can be clicked or a timer can trigger. Your other object can then "listen" to the first object.
I realised while making this course that it's a controversial issue, whether the model should talk to the view directly or not. Well, controversial among those who like controversy. Most software developers would say that you should decide this based on what you need to implement. The model should never use View classes; everyone agrees on that. Aside from basic stuff like that, things like this are just implementation details and not worth getting too hung up on.
|Section 3: Smaller Scale Patterns
The singleton pattern is controversial, but important to know since you'll encounter it even if you decide not to use it.
|We'll need a "bean" to use as the "transfer object" in the DAO patterns. They're also useful for lots of other things, such as event objects and storing data in your program.
|We'll start looking at the DAO pattern in this tutorial (there's a bit more to come!). DAO is a pattern for abstracting away databases and keeping all your SQL or LDAP code or whatever safely in particular files.
|The DAO pattern is potentially multi-layered. Here we'll add one more layer, by creating a "factory" that can create our DAO objects.
|An introduction to JUnit. This seems like a good place to put a JUnit tutorial, because we really need to test the DAO class before proceeding further.
|Let's extend the DAO pattern so that it can cope with multiple databases. We'll need to define interfaces that the existing stuff implements, and maybe even an abstract class for a final touch.
|Often applications don't save every modification you make directly to disk or to a database, but work with data in memory. In this tutorial we'll look at an example of that, and finally make use of our "model" class.
|The factory pattern is one of the most important patterns, and one that you're likely to get asked about on job interviews and exams. It involves creating a method that instantiates and returns objects, rather than the user of the objects instantiating them directly with "new". This allows you to pre-configure objects or to engage in lengthy determinations of precisely which object to return, which can then be hidden from the end user of your API.
|The Facade pattern is almost too simple to be called a pattern. Nevertheless, being familiar with it will prevent you from panic when your colleague or boss casually starts wittering about "creating some facades". When you see what it actually is, your mental state will change from panic to relief, combined with frustration that people can't just speak normally.
|The Adapter pattern simply consists of a class that "adapts" from the interface implemented by some class (which contains the functionality you need) to a different interface.
After working as a software developer and contractor for over 14 years for a whole bunch of companies including CSC, Proquest, SPSS and AT&T in the UK and Netherlands, I decided to work full-time as a private software trainer. I now live in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary, from where I run the website Cave of Programming.

Gables Aragon Cuisine
Discover earthy Mexican with a Dominican touch in the Gables
Gables Aragon Cuisine
141 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables
Hours: 8am-10pm Monday-Thursday, 8am-11pm Friday, 11am-11pm Saturday, 11am-10pm Sunday
Prices: Breakfast $3.95-$6.95, appetizers $4.95-$12.95, entrees $7.95-$22.50
Gables Aragon Cuisine is a Coral Gables newcomer serving authentic Mexican dishes and a few Dominican specialties in an Aragon Avenue storefront with spare, elegant decor.
Owner Manuel Boz, who hails from Villa Riva in the northeastern Dominican Republic, came to Miami six years ago for his job as a Chevron marketing analyst. He and chef Asael Cruz, a native of Mexico City, got to know each other as workout partners at the gym. When they decided to open the eatery, they hired Manuel's cousin Henry Arrindell to run the front of the house.
Start with ceviche or bean and dumpling soup laced with hoja de aguacate (avocado leaf) that adds a subtle hazelnut-anise flavor. Tortas are Mexican sandwiches on torpedo-shaped bolillo rolls layered with refried beans, guacamole, cheese, lettuce and tomato with a choice of grilled tuna, beef or chicken. Molletes are bolillo cut in half topped with mashed beans, cheese, pineapple, turkey ham and sausage that are baked and served with salsa.
Sopes are thick discs of masa (corn dough) fried until crispy on the outside but soft inside and filled with refried beans, shredded meat and crumbled cheese. The most popular variation is the sandal-shaped huarache, a sort of oblong, open faced taco that is spread with refried beans and topped with tender nopalitos (cactus strips), shrimp, chicken or beef and potatoes, all smothered in salsa verde made from a puree of tomatillo, cilantro and green chiles.
Huarangu is a type of starchy mash or fufu that originated in West Africa and is made in the Caribbean with boiled green plantains mixed with garlic and butter. It is served here lightly fried with shrimp or steak and eggs in green sauce. Aztec lasagna — layers of tortillas, mashed beans, shredded chicken and salsa — resembles an igloo melting into a pool of delicious cheese.
Wash everything down with morir sonando, "to die dreaming," a Dominican drink of iced orange juice and evaporated milk. Creamy flan with candied carrot makes for a dreamy ending.

Mamiya: 7 II, RZ67 Pro II / Canon: 1V, AE-1, 5DmkII / Kodak: No 1 Pocket Autographic, No 1A Pocket Autographic | Sent w/ iPhone using Tapatalk
Yep, I indeed meant 100 instead of 50. I was typing that comment on my phone and got a little turned around!
while looking for the manual for the camera, I've discovered the version I have is slightly incorrect as listed above, it's the ...
Zeiss Ikon
CONTINA Matic II and III
However it seems the site for the PDF's is suspended so... wish me luck... I would really like to know if I was correct in my aperture settings as that's what I'm still not sure was completely correct.
hi stone
i never scan anything i have in b+w, ALWAYS in color. the developer does funky stuff to the grains and
film which gives the colors in the scan. i have some coffee processed b+w that when scanned look like
autochromes ... not sure why but i don't questions electronics i just use them
and enjoy the results.
nice work by the way !
New Question ... these are 4 un-cropped images, scanned, does anyone know if the sprocket shadow is due to the old camera I'm using, or is this an effect of stand developing? (I've never used the Zeiss Ikon Contina Matic II before this test and never stand developed either).
Attachment 63685Attachment 63686Attachment 63687Attachment 63688
It wouldn't be a result of your developing.
Hold those negatives up to the light. Does each frame stop short of the sprocket holes, or are the frames so off-center that the sprockets are being intruded upon? Your negatives look as if the film is being loaded so off-center into the camera that it's not aligning correctly and making some of the image "overflow" to the sprockets. If so, check the alignment of the film gate in the camera and whether those film gates aren't bent somehow.
hi stone
i get that sometimes too .... sometimes
i think it is called bromide drag, maybe i am wrong, i don't know to be honest ..
stand developing does weird stuff to film because the developer exhausts on the film
and doesn't get agitated to wash off and replenish with new ...
try processing your color-stuff with agitation and see if it still happens
good to see you having fun!

|Baby Blue, Navy Blue, White
Nicolet High School is a public secondary school located in Glendale, Wisconsin. It is the only school in the Nicolet Unified School District, which serves Glendale, Fox Point, Bayside, and River Hills. Primary schooling is administered by three feeder districts. The Nicolet Unified School district is one of the few school districts in Wisconsin to be made up of only one school. Its main feeder schools are Glen Hills Middle School, Maple Dale Middle School, and Bayside Middle School.
The school offers French, German, Hebrew, and Spanish languages.
Nicolet High School has a comprehensive Advanced Placement program that includes Calculus (AB and BC), Statistics, Computer Science, Physics (B, C: Mechanics, and C: Electromagnetism), Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, English Language and Composition, French Language, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, German Language, Music Theory, American History, European History, Macro-Economics, Micro-Economics, Studio Art (Drawing, 2D, 3D), and American Government.
Nicolet is one of a handful of high schools in the state of Wisconsin to offer Microsoft Certification.[citation needed] Students earn college credit for each application they become certified in. Certification are available in 365, Access, Excel, SharePoint, Word and more.
Nicolet High School was named a Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education[1] and was listed as one of the 50 best schools in Wisconsin by US News and World Report.[2]
Nicolet spends significantly more money per student than any other comparative high school in Wisconsin in order to ensure a high quality of education.[3] In addition, its teachers, almost all of whom have a master's degree or a doctorate, are both the most-experienced and highest paid teachers in the state.[4]
In 2013, as reported in an article by Beverly Taylor that appeared on CNN's website, five students from the high school got a perfect score of 36 on the ACT college entrance exam (nationwide, only 781 out of 1.66 million students got a perfect score in the graduating class of 2012). Of the 257 seniors, 50 got a 30 or higher that same year.[5]

A vending machine including a method of creating a set of instructions for the manipulation of an image is disclosed including the steps of displaying an initial array of sample images for a user to select from; accepting a user's selection of at least one of the sample images; utilizing attributes of the images the selection to produce a further array of sample images; iteratively applying the previous steps until such time as the user selects at least one final suitable image; utilizing the steps used in the creation of the sample image as the set of instructions; outputting the set of instructions. The method can further include scanning a user's photograph and utilizing the scanned photograph as an initial image in the creation of each of the sample images. The instructions can be printed out in an encoded form on one surface of a card in addition to printing out a visual representation of the instructions on a second surface of the card. Additionally the manipulated image can itself be printed out. Various techniques can be used in the creation of images including genetic algorithm or programming techniques to create the array. Further, 'best so far' images can be saved for use in the creation of further images.
1. A method of creating a set of instructions for the manipulation of an image, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) displaying an initial array of sample images for a user to select from;
(b) accepting a user's selection of at least one of said sample images;
(c) utilizing attributes of the images of said selection to produce a further array of sample images;
(d) iteratively applying steps (a) to (c) until such time as said user selects at least one final suitable image;
(e) utilising the steps used in the creation of said sample image as said set of instructions;
(f) outputting said set of instructions.
2. A method as claimed in
3. A method as claimed in
4. A method as claimed in
5. A method as claimed in
6. A method as claimed in
7. An apparatus when implementing the method in accordance with any of
8. An apparatus as claimed in 7 wherein said apparatus is in the form of a vending machine.
The following Australian provisional patent applications are hereby incorporated by cross-reference. For the purpose of location and identification, U.S. patent applications identified by their U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. (USSN) are listed alongside the Australian applications from which the U.S. patent applications claim the right of priority.
Not applicable.
The present invention relates to the production of images and structures for applying translation to images and, in particular, discloses a Vending Machine for the Production of Customised Photographs and Artcards.
The following Australian provisional patent applications are hereby incorporated by cross-reference. For the purposes of location and identification, US patent applications identified by their US patent application serial numbers (USSN) are listed alongside the Australian applications from which the US patent applications claim the right of priority.
The present invention relates to the production of images and structures for applying translation to images and, in particular, discloses a Vending Machine for the Production of Customised Photographs and Artcards.
The present invention is designed to interact with a new camera system invented and developed by the present applicant.
Such a hand held camera device is described in Australian Provisional Patent Application No. PO7991 entitled "Image Processing Method and Apparatus (Art 01)" filed Jul. 15, 1997 with a large number of associated applications in addition to Australian Provisional patent Application No. PO 8505 entitled "Image Processing Method and Apparatus (Art 01a)" filed Aug. 11, 1997, again with a number of associated applications. To the extent necessary, the above specifications are hereby incorporated by cross reference.
The aforementioned patent specifications disclose a camera system, hereinafter known as an "Artcam" type camera, wherein sensed images can be directly printed out by an Artcam portable camera unit. Further, the aforementioned specification discloses means and methods for performing various manipulations on images captured by the camera sensing device leading to the production of various effects in any output image. The manipulations are disclosed to be highly flexible in nature and can be implemented through the insertion into the Artcam of cards having encoded thereon various instructions for the manipulation of images, the cards hereinafter being known as Artcards. The Artcam finther has significant onboard processing power through the utilization of Artcam Central Processor unit (ACP) which is interconnected to a memory device for the storage of important data and images.
It will be evident that, with such an arrangement of Artcam devices and corresponding Artcards, over a time, a huge proliferation of Artcards can arise. The Artcards can be provided for the arbitrary manipulation of an image and, it would therefore be desirable to provide a user with the capability of creating Artcards on demand in order to suit personal projected requirements.
It is an object of the present invention to provide for an automated Artcard creation machine which provides a user with a customisable Artcard so as to meet their personal needs.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of creating a set of instructions for the manipulation of an image, the method comprising the steps of displaying an initial array of sample images for a user to select from; accepting a user's selection of at least one of the sample images; utilizing attributes of the images selected to produce a further array of sample images; iteratively applying the previous steps until such time as the user selects at least one final suitable image; utilising the steps used in the creation of the sample image as the set of instructions; outputting the set of instructions.
The method can further include scanning a user's photograph and utilising the scanned photograph as an initial image in the creation of each of the sample images. The instructions can be printed out in an encoded form on one surface of a card in addition to printing out a visual representation of the instructions on a second surface of the card. Additionally, the manipulated image can itself be printed out.
Various techniques can be used in the creation of images including genetic algorithm or genetic programming techniques to create the array. Further, 'best so far' images can be saved for use in the creation of further images.
The method is preferably implemented in the form of a computer system incorporated into a vending machine for dispensing cards and photos.
Notwithstanding any other forms which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic arrangement of the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 2 illustrates an example interface of the preferred embodiment; and
FIG. 3 illustrates one form of arrangement of software modules within the preferred embodiment.
In the preferred embodiment, an Artcard photo and vending machine is provided which enables a user to construct their own Artcard on demand. The vending machine can be constructed in a similar manner to the usual photo vending machines however, this is not essential with the only requirement being significant computational resources provided for the creation of automatic Artcards within a given time.
Turning initially to FIG. 1, there is illustrated schematically the functional components of the preferred embodiment 1. The preferred embodiment 1 can include a high resolution scanner 2 for the scanning in of a user's example photo 3. The scanner 2 is again optional and allows users to manipulate their own photos to provide an added degree of realism to the Artcard production system. The photo 3 scanned by scanner 2 is forwarded to the core computer system 4 which can comprise a high end PC type computer with a suitable operating system and programs. The computer 4 is responsible for storage of the scanned photos and for the control of a photo printer and Artcard printer 5. The photo printer and Artcard printer 5 is preferably able to print on both sides of an output print media and can utilise printing technologies as disclosed in the aforementioned patent specification. The printer 5 outputs a manipulated version of user's photo 6 in addition to a corresponding Artcard 7 (being printed on both surfaces) which contains encoded instructions for the image processing manipulation of the photo 3 in order to produce the photo 6. The encoded instructions being output in an Artcard format as described in accordance with those technologies discussed in the aforementioned patent specification.
The computer system 4 also includes a user interface 9 which can be of a standard touch screen type user interface. The computer system also controls or incorporates a payment system 10 which can comprise a standard coin or note payment system or could also comprise a credit card payment system with appropriate network connections to a credit card service provider for authorisation of transactions. Additionally, EFTPOS facilities might be provided.
A user inserts their photo 3 in a scanner slot 2 and the photo is scanned stored and subsequently ejected. Subsequently, the user interrogates the user interface 9 which can be located inside the "photo booth". The user interface 9 can contain instructions initially for entry of money in the payment system 10. However, the core of the user interface 9 is in the creation of a wide range of Artcards by means of the touch screen facility.
An example of a suitable user interface is that depicted in FIG. 2. The core user interface can consist of presenting a user with a large number of sample thumbnail images 13 which have been manipulated in accordance with methods which will be discussed hereinafter. Initially, the image manipulation 13 may be divided by subject areas, for example, corporate, birthdays, seasonal events, types of manipulations etc. The user is instructed to choose by means of the touch sensitive screen a particular image, e.g. 13 which they like. If no such image exists, the user can choose an arrow button 14 which provides a further array of manipulations on a current level. When the user chooses an image 13, this image is utilised in the production of further alternatives which have a similar "theme" to the chosen image and present a series of alternative manipulations. The user is able to then continue choosing images from the selected variations.
Desirable images can be saved using a save button 17 and the user interface provides for the viewing of saved choices 18 along side the current array. Navigation buttons 15 and 16 provide for alternative forms of navigation with the button 15 going back to a previous screen and the button 16 returning the user to a higher level. In this way, the user is able to navigate through a wide range of Artcards so as to produce their own particular customised requirements. In this way, unique artistic creative endeavours can be encouraged for the production of unique Artcards.
The production of such a wide range of Artcards relies upon the utilisation of genetic algorithm techniques to provide the user with the role of the creator in the production process. Turning now to FIG. 3, there is illustrated an example of the software layout of the application running on the computer system 4 (FIG. 1). The software layout 20 includes a genetic pool 21 of possible image manipulations and theme manipulations which can be applied to a particular image. This genetic pool is utilised by a genetic algorithm core 22 for the creation of new species. For an introduction to the field of genetic algorithms standard text, e.g. "Genetic Algorithms" by Golberg, in addition to the latest proceedings in this field. Alternatively, the field of genetic programming could be utilised and, in this respect, reference to the standard works by Koza entitled "Genetic Programming".
The genetic algorithm core can also utilise the users' choices 23 in the creation of new suitable images. The output of the genetic algorithm core can comprise suitable proposed new images which are then forwarded to a user interface module 25 for display on the touch screen display.
Returning again to FIG. 2, once a user has found a desirable selection, an accept button 19 can be activated which results in the user payment being required and accepted and which in turn results in the computer system 4 (FIG. 1) instructing the printer 5 to output the image 6 in addition to the series of image manipulations on the Artcard 7 for utilisation by a user in other devices which accept Artcards 7 (for example, the aforementioned Artcam devices).
It would therefore be readily evident to the person skilled in the art that the preferred embodiment provides for a system for creating complex personalised customisable images which can then be independently utilised by users. The utilisation of multiple images results in a significant combinatorial explosion of possible Artcards which can in turn lead to a significant personalisation.
Of course, many other types of core techniques could be utilised in the construction of the images. For example, other non-genetic techniques may be suitable. In a worst case, each image choice could be manually prepared. Further other suer interface facilities could be provided. Additionally, the present invention can be implemented in a non vending machine environment such as on a standard computer system.
The operation of the.preferred embodiment allows for the significant expression of personal creativity and, it is envisaged, that individual creations by Artists may themselves take on a significant value in providing an Artcard "series" of a individual artist etc.
It would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications any be made to the present invention as shown in the specific embodiment without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiment is, therefore, to be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
Ink Jet Technologies
The embodiments of the invention use an ink jet printer type device. Of course many different devices could be used. However presently popular ink jet printing technologies are unlikely to be suitable.
The most significant problem with thermal ink jet is power consumption. This is approximately 100 times that required for high speed, and stems from the energy-inefficient means of drop ejection. This involves the rapid boiling of water to produce a vapor bubble which expels the ink. Water has a very high heat capacity, and must be superheated in thermal ink jet applications. This leads to an efficiency of around 0.02%, from electricity input to drop momentum (and increased surface area) out.
The most significant problem with piezoelectric ink jet is size and cost. Piezoelectric crystals have a very small deflection at reasonable drive voltages, and therefore require a large area for each nozzle. Also, each piezoelectric actuator must be connected to its drive circuit on a separate substrate. This is not a significant problem at the current limit of around 300 nozzles per printhead, but is a major impediment to the fabrication of pagewidth printheads with 19,200 nozzles.
Ideally, the ink jet technologies used meet the stringent requirements of in-camera digital color printing and other high quality, high speed, low cost printing applications. To meet the requirements of digital photography, new ink jet technologies have been created. The target features include:
low power (less than 10 Watts)
high resolution capability (1,600 dpi or more)
photographic quality output
low manufacturing cost
small size (pagewidth times minimum cross section)
high speed (<2 seconds per page).
All of these features can be met or exceeded by the ink jet systems described below with differing levels of difficulty. Forty-five different ink jet technologies have been developed by the Assignee to give a wide range of choices for high volume manufacture. These technologies form part of separate applications assigned to the present Assignee as set out in the table under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
The ink jet designs shown here are suitable for a wide range of digital printing systems, from battery powered one-time use digital cameras, through to desktop and network printers, and through to commercial printing systems.
For ease of manufacture using standard process equipment, the printhead is designed to be a monolithic 0.5 micron CMOS chip with MEMS post processing. For color photographic applications, the printhead is 100 mm long, with a width which depends upon the ink jet type. The smallest printhead designed is IJ38, which is 0.35 mm wide, giving a chip area of 35 square mm. The printheads each contain 19,200 nozzles plus data and control circuitry.
Ink is supplied to the back of the printhead by injection molded plastic ink channels. The molding requires 50 micron features, which can be created using a lithographically micromachined insert in a standard injection molding tool. Ink flows through holes etched through the wafer to the nozzle chambers fabricated on the front surface of the wafer. The printhead is connected to the camera circuitry by tape automated bonding.
Tables of Drop-on-Demand Ink Jets
Eleven important characteristics of the fundamental operation of individual ink jet nozzles have been identified. These characteristics are largely orthogonal, and so can be elucidated as an eleven dimensional matrix. Most of the eleven axes of this matrix include entries developed by the present assignee.
The following tables form the axes of an eleven dimensional table of ink jet types.
Actuator mechanism (18 types)
Basic operation mode (7 types)
Auxiliary mechanism (8 types)
Actuator amplification or modification method (17 types)
Actuator motion (19 types)
Nozzle refill method (4 types)
Method of restricting back-flow through inlet (10 types)
Nozzle clearing method (9 types)
Nozzle plate construction (9 types)
Drop ejection direction (5 types)
Ink type (7 types)
The complete eleven dimensional table represented by these axes contains 36.9 billion possible configurations of ink jet nozzle. While not all of the possible combinations result in a viable ink jet technology, many million configurations are viable. It is clearly impractical to elucidate all of the possible configurations. Instead, certain ink jet types have been investigated in detail. These are designated IJ01 to IJ45, which match the docket numbers in the table under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
Other ink jet configurations can readily be derived from these forty-five examples by substituting alternative configurations along one or more of the 11 axes. Most of the IJ01 to IJ45 examples can be made into ink jet printheads with characteristics superior to any currently available ink jet technology.
Where there are prior art examples known to the inventor, one or more of these examples are listed in the examples column of the tables below. The IJ01 to IJ45 series are also listed in the examples column. In some cases, a print technology may be listed more than once in a table, where it shares characteristics with more than one entry.
Suitable applications for the ink jet technologies include: Home printers, Office network printers, Short run digital printers, Commercial print systems, Fabric printers, Pocket printers, Internet WWW printers, Video printers, Medical imagng, Wide format printers, Notebook PC printers, Fax machines, Industrial printing systems, Photocopiers, Photographic minilabs etc.
The information associated with the aforementioned 11 dimensional matrix are set out in the following tables.

The pair were released from prison last year under the condition that one donate a kidney to the other.
When former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour released his pardon list before leaving office, two sisters released from a Mississippi prison last year on condition that one donate a kidney to the other, weren't included. Now, the pair is pushing for answers.
After serving nearly 16 years of their life sentences, Jamie and Gladys Scott, also known as the Scott sisters, were released on January 7, 2011, from a Mississippi penitentiary. Because Jamie Scott suffers from kidney failure and her dialysis was costing the state about $200,000 a year, Barbour agreed to let her go under the condition that Gladys follow through on her offer to donate a kidney to her sister within one year.
On Thursday, when the pair found out they weren't among the more than 200 reprieves, including those convicted of murder and receiving full pardons from the governor, they were devastated. Their lawyer, Chokwe Lumumba, said during a news conference that he'll ask new Republican Gov. Phil Bryant to pardon the women, both of whom are having trouble securing jobs due to the felony convictions on their record.
The sisters claim to be innocent on charges of a 1993 armed robbery. Additionally, when they were convicted, civil rights leaders fought against a punishment they thought was severely harsh. Despite the sisters' claims and the fact that others involved in the crime have since recanted their testimony against the two, the Scott sisters are still on parole and must report to a parole officer once a month.
"I have to report to the Mississippi Department of Corrections for the rest of my life for a crime I didn't commit. I guess if I had been a murderer, he would have pardoned me," Gladys told the Associated Press.
According to ABC News, Barbour's representative did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Bryant's spokesman Mick Bullock responded to an e-mail stating, "Governor Bryant has no intentions to pardon anyone."
Stay tuned to BET.com for any updates on the sisters' story.

I got this to check on a ABS light on my car. Without any updates it diagnosed the fault. There were two issues however. One, it came out of the box with a dead 9V battery, and the second it took alot of effort (for me) to do the update (not needed, just make sure it worked before warranty up). I followed the instructions (simple), but the upper right side of the program's menu it constantly said to plug in the device, the computer would not recognize that the tool was plugged in (not Harbor Freight's fault). Under Device Manager, in the Control Panel, I noticed that there was a fault(as in missing) with the Virtual COM Port Driver which is what allows the PC to read the USB as if it were a serial port. Found a driver on the internet (free), installed, then the tool's software would recognize that the device was plugged in and update worked without problems. I consider the battery (though dead) as a courtesy and the update issue was my computer's fault, this tool works as advertised - I give it 5 stars

Noting that the rant about the light (elsewhere) was intially a concern, also. However, as soon as you connect it to the computer or the vehicle the backlight comes on and it is very readable and contrast is adjustable.Have not found the 'HFT' support for updating the program or the DTC database yet, but that is a comment about HFT support not the tool.Storing and viewing of data is poorly supported and poorly explained.Watch the coupons and sales - it can be a great value if you have some OBDII/EOBD CAN and ABS experience.I may update the review, later, after some usage and additional familiarity. The backlight rant needed comment though!

Did Exactly What I Needed

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Cen-Tech OBD II & CAN Scan Tool with ABS:
This badboy saved me a ton of work. I had an ABS issue on my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country - which I was pretty sure was a wheel speed sensor based on the research I did online. Problem is - which wheel? I was prepared to clean the terminals on all four and hope for the best, but I decided to spring for this scan tool. In literally 90 seconds, this thing confirmed that the left rear was bad. Overall, the fit and finish is much nicer than usual HFT stuff. No disrespect, but you know when you're holding a $3 ratchet. This scan tool is really nice, and with the HFT 20% off it has paid for itself in a minute and a half, in my opinion.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Does as advertised. Bought this to help my daughter buy a used car for cheap enough that won't give her a headache through emissions. Love that is does a little emissions style test for you. I did manage to get the software working on Win 8 but you will need to search and find a 64bit STM32 driver. It's out there. Load it over the top of this software and it connects and updates like a charm. Looking forward to going out there and finding a clean car (oh it does give days since engine light reset. They cannot hide that from me ;). )

By David B
from Moreno Valley, Ca
It's very well built, like other reviewer had said this does not look like it should be sold at Harbor Freight. It comes in a nice black bag. Doesn't seem cheaply made, the cable and the OBDII unit feels very well made. It's not made with cheap parts. So far i have used this on my rx300, 01 accord and 09 Tacoma works perfect.

Great tool and bad trying to up-date. A me Win 7 problem.
By Locodave
from Chgo burbs
$99 can't beat it for the price. The good, I bought the model 60694 without the ABS a long time ago. My son keeps borrowing it. A great tool also. Yes it works great to see ABS codes on my 03 Sonoma. Wish I would of bought this 1st. Tryed to download the updates. 2 files on my newer Win 7 computer. You need both. Tryed everything I knew. Just would not happen. Fired up my old XP and updated it with no problems. Just couldn't do it on Win7. A me problem on Win 7. Unless someone here can walk me thru doing it for others. Always said wrong file. Copy pasted the download file link to the programs search where it's at. When I would click on the .bin or other file. To put it in. When I would do a search for the file within the up-dater program. I always got a my downloaded yada 32 on the end. But the files were not listed. Protected files. In 7Son's B/D is in a few weeks. He dosen't know it yet, but giving it to him as a gift. Something I can borrow from him when I need ABS codes. Get mine back. All in all I would say buy it. Ppl that had issues with reading. Did they do both file up-dates?

This tool can save you some money
By Honda guy
from Louisville, Kentucky
My ABS light was illuminated on my 2000 Honda Accord. Plugged the code reader in and it provided me, in clear language, that the right rear speed sensor was faulty. Removed the sensor and sprayed it down with PB Blaster, reinstalled, and now all is good. Probably won't need it that often, but it's better to not need it and have it than to not have it and need it. Other scanners that are on the market that read ABS are all over $200..
Thanks for a great deal.

This particular Harbor freight tool was a must for me to get my car ready for emissions inspection . I found a bad fuel injector which was difficult to get to and would have cost me a bundle to pay to have repaired. I used the tool on several cars prior to state inspections and fixed many a problem for my family members.
Great tool, easy step through menu.
