Loads of fun, but make sure you're ready to discuss what a bordello is with kids if you take them. It really was one and it's an inherently important part of the museum. Not a great huge full-day experience, but fun and engaging. Great for a local stop.
This was a quick tour of an old Bordello. The tour guide gave some interesting information, such as Miss Hattie still made the girls go to church every Sunday. We went into each of the rooms and I was given some information about each girl that worked there. Ticket prices were a little steep for only a 20 minute tour,...
We really enjoyed the tour of Miss Hatties. It was interesting and a very well kept museum. The hostess was friendly and we were the only ones taking the tour. So we were able to get more one on one time to ask questions. The tours are at specific times and the tickets cost $6.00 per person. There is a...
Visiting is by scheduled tour only and you have to go to the jewelry store below the bordello to get your tickets and meet for the tour. The tour guide was very informative and had a good knowledge of the bordello. Although some of the items displayed are not original many are and after 50+ years since the bordello closed...
This place is preserved and authentic! It is a very realistic look back at the times and shows a lot of what life in those times was really like. The rooms remain as they were and you can walk through and see everything, along with photos and informational documents on the walls. A very interesting visit!
really neat museum. 30min to 45min to cover most of it. friendly and knowledgeable staff. definitely a place to check out while you're visiting San Angelo!
A lot of old time 1800s atmosphere. Food is very good. Prices are above average but well worth it. A great place for having a celebration dinner. Very romantic setting.
service is never that good and food is over priced, I know the décor is supposed to look old and dated but lighten things up a bit. I always try to avoid going here when someone brings it up.
Little museum with guided tours. Learned much about Miss Hattie they had several original pieces from the bordello. Tour was fun
This was a fun place to visit and get a little history of San Angelo! They give you interesting slips information about each room and what all went on in each. I enjoyed the tour very much.

49ers reel in Harbaugh
Steelers/NFL Videos
SAN FRANCISCO — Declaring it a "perfect competitive opportunity," Jim Harbaugh accepted the job as coach of the 49ers on Friday and said his goal is to win a Lombardi Trophy for "one of the legendary franchises in all of football."
The successful Stanford coach gets to remain in the Bay Area, moving to the NFL after four years with the Cardinal. A longtime NFL quarterback, he replaces Mike Singletary. ESPN reported Harbaugh's deal is for $25 million over five years.
Harbaugh decided to make the jump to the pros even though San Francisco has missed the playoffs eight straight seasons and quarterback Andrew Luck decided to remain at Stanford for another season.
"I can feel the enthusiasm coursing through my veins right now," Harbaugh said. "I accept this competitive challenge willingly."
The Cardinal (12-1) finished with a school-record 12 wins following a 40-12 victory over Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Harbaugh, though, has long admired the late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh, one of his mentors, and how Walsh made a successful leap from Stanford to the 49ers.
Now, he must turn around a once-proud franchise that is desperate to become a contender again. The 49ers were expected to win the NFC West this season, then began 0-5 for their worst start since losing seven straight to begin a 2-14 season in 1979 — Walsh's first year as coach.
The 49ers finished 6-10 this year — in the chase for a playoff berth in the NFL's worst division until the second-to-last week — and haven't had a winning season since their last trip to the playoffs in 2002.
Harbaugh, 47, went 58-27 as a college coach and 29-21 in four seasons at Stanford. He took over a 1-11 team when he was hired in December 2006 and quickly turned the program back into a winner and bowl contender. The Cardinal went 4-8 in his first season, 5-7 the next, then improved to 8-5 and earned a Sun Bowl berth in 2009 — the school's first bowl appearance since 2001.

displaying said image data.
The present invention relates to an improved method of triggering and an improved arrangement of X-ray detection at an image sensor for electronically producing X-ray images, and more specifically a method and an arrangement which except for true triggering of the image sensor also limits the X-ray radiation dose when using a type CCD X-ray imaging cell. A simple direct control of the X-ray apparatus is also provided.
X-ray examinations normally have been conducted by putting the examined organ between an X-ray sensitive film and an X-ray source and radiating X-rays. Film exposed in this way being developed in a normal manner, will show different blackening dependent upon the type and amount of tissue between the X-ray source and the film.
The method among other things has a drawback in that it is not simply reproducible. Images made during what may seem to be the same conditions may present very different blackening and resolution of the interesting areas of the organ being examined. Further the method is labor and time consuming as the result is achieved only after developing of the film.
Within the field of dental X-raying there is now also an application using for example a CCD cell similar to that in an ordinary video camera. This CCD cell is put instead of the X-ray sensitive film in an appropriate manner in the oral cavity of a patient behind the tooth or teeth to be examined, whereby an image direct from the CCD cell may be achieved on a display by means of known technique in the art by using an electronic interface and an ordinary PC computer. This has the advantage that the result is immediately obtained and if this image is not adequate a new exposure may be immediately performed.
In this technique the control electronics of the CCD cell itself has an electrical connection to the X-ray apparatus, such that the electronic interface receives information when the X-ray radiation is activated. This implies that such an arrangement has to particularly be adopted to each available type of X-ray equipment to implement this type of synchronization.
When X-ray images are produced by an image sensing member in the shape of a CCD cell at existing temperatures, e.g. in the oral cavity, dark currents exists which all the time are adding up charges within the CCD cell. These charges are added up so fast that the image sensing member will normally be saturated after one or a few seconds. Therefore, the CCD cell must be emptied of charges before the exposure by X-rays is started. When the X-ray image is fully exposed it must immediately be read out in its totality in order not to loose image information due to the adding of dark currents.
Such a synchronization may be achieved by either activating the X-ray tube short before the scanning is started of for example the CCD cell or initiating scanning from the X-ray arrangement, eventually with a delay such that the radiation source comes to full power. In both cases there is a general demand of considerable interfacing equipment to achieve this. Otherwise the exposure time of the X-ray source must be chosen unnecessarily long to ensure a good result.
According to the state of the art it is not unusual to willingly overexpose a bit to be certain of an acceptable result of the X-ray examination. One problem which then additionally has to be solved is that the accumulated radiation dose of the patient has to be optimized in order to minimize the radiation dose to the patient, which is utterly important from the general standpoint of radiation protection.
A radiation sensor for dental X-ray examination is known from the German utility model G 89 09 398.4.(EP-A1-0 415 075). The imaging device then has a single radiation detector, placed in front of, at the side of or behind the imaging device. The single radiation detector as such may comprise one or more phototransistors having a scintillation layer. One drawback in such an arrangement is that the single radiation detector may be shaded by, for example bone or a tooth when the imaging device is placed into the oral cavity of a patient and thus will detect very little radiation as bone or a tooth will still be very opaque to the kind of X-ray radiation used for dental examination. Additionally the device uses only remote electronics for processing the obtained signals which gives a low efficiency for utilizing the small current generated in the scintillation layer of the radiation sensor.
The invention is based on the technical possibility by means of a simple control equipment to deactivate the source of radiation after it is started, by a method of detecting radiation using several sensing diodes at the back of a CCD device or the multitude of charging pixel capacitors within the CCD device. Triggering may be effected when the radiation source is activated and a measure has been obtained that a sufficient radiation dose producing the desired imaging.
A first object of the present invention therefore is to teach a method and apparatus which do not demand a complex interfacing to each individual X-ray equipment e.g. for dental X-ray, the technique using preferably a CCD cell, a direct connection between the image sensing and the X-ray apparatus normally not being needed.
A second object of the present invention is to teach a method apparatus which improve adaption of the exposure of the X-ray image at the image sensing member such that scanning of the image immediately starts when sufficient exposure reliably has been detected or immediately as the radiation of X-rays ceases.
A third object of the present invention is to teach a method and apparatus implying that the radiation dose is minimized to exactly what is needed to satisfactorily expose an image by using a signal from the arrangement to deactivate the X-ray apparatus, implying according to the present invention that more images may be obtained within the same total normal radiation dose.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for the X-ray image sensor by an arrangement wherein the X-ray radiation is activated and deactivated by sensing X-ray radiation by using several detection points to thereby measure the overall dose.
A further object of the invention is to optimize the exposure by sensing the total radiation dose and initiating the scanning out of image data from the image sensing member when sufficient exposure has been obtained.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method which minimizes the radiation dose to the patient in connection with an X-ray examination by producing an external signal which in turn may be used for the control of the deactivation of the X-ray apparatus.
The present invention will be described in a preferred embodiment by means of the attached drawings in which
FIG. 1 demonstrates a cross-section in part of the encapsuled image sensing arrangement of a preferred embodiment,
FIG. 2a demonstrates the image sensing member of the encapsuled arrangement from above,
FIG. 2b demonstrates the rear side of the image sensing member of FIG. 2a,
FIG. 2c demonstrates the front side of the image sensing member of FIG. 2a, and
FIG. 3 demonstrates a diagram of the electronic circuitry of interfacing units according to the invention.
In FIG. 1 is demonstrated a preferred embodiment for dental X-ray of an arrangement 1 to be inserted into the mouth of a patient. The arrangement in the preferred embodiment comprises a CCD cell supplied and controlled by lines 6 seen in FIG. 2a. For dental X-ray the arrangement 1 is positioned such that the specific tooth or teeth is/are between the front side (upper side in FIG. 1) of the arrangement 1 and an X-ray radiation source. The CCD cell of the arrangement 1 then will be exposed differently dependent upon the opacity for X-ray radiation of the tooth or teeth and thereby an X-ray image of the tooth or teeth is obtained in the CCD cell according to the state of the art.
FIG. 2c demonstrates the side having an image sensing member 5, for example, in the form of a CCD cell lying on a base formed by a substrate or a printed circuit board, whereby the member 5 is turned towards the tooth or teeth during the X-ray examination. In FIG. 2b the rear side of the substrate or printed circuit board is shown, on which in the preferred embodiment three sensor elements 2, 3 and 4 are scattered over the surface. The sensor elements constitute detector diodes having a scintillation portion and are in the preferred embodiment of type BPW 34 produced by Telefunken. It is essential that these detector diodes 2, 3 and 4 are placed such that they do not hide any portion of the image surface and are within the area of the maximum radiation dose. Therefore the detector diodes are preferably spread on the rear side of the image sensing member. Consequently the number of detector diodes must be more than two to ensure that at least one diode may be put into a position where it will be accessed by not too much reduced X-ray radiation. In a first embodiment shown there are at least three detector diodes 2, 3 and 4 connected in parallel. In another embodiment of the invention the CCD cell itself is used also as the sensor of X-ray radiation. The CCD cell includes a large number of individual storage capacitors formed on the semiconductor substrate and these individual capacitors will be charged due to the incident photons of the X-ray radiation. When these capacitors are charged a certain amount of current will flow to or from the CCD device, which integrated current when exceeding a certain threshold will be used as a detection criteria.
In FIG. 3 is shown an electronic circuitry indicating the connection of the detector diodes to an interfacing electronic unit in the preferred embodiment consisting of two portions 10 and 20. The interfacing electronic unit portion 10 is integrated together with the detector diodes 2, 3 and 4 at the rear side of the image sensing member 5 of the preferred embodiment, while the other portion is found in an external electronic unit (not shown) and connected to the portion 10 by the connecting lines 6. Instead of the signal from the detector diodes 2, 3 and 4 the charging current signal from the CCD device is used in the other preferred embodiment of the invention and connected to the input of the electronic unit 10.
The interfacing unit portion 10 also comprises two operational amplifiers 12 and 15, resistors 13, 14 and 16 and a capacitor 17. Further the cathode side of the detector diodes are connected to signal ground via a point 18. The operational amplifiers of the preferred embodiment is of type TL072 produced by Texas Instruments Corporation.
The interfacing unit portion 20 also comprises two operational amplifiers 23 and 28 and resistors 22, 24, 27, 29, 30, 32 and 56 and capacitors 21, 25 and 36. Additionally the resistor 30 is connected to -12 V at a point 31. The interfacing unit 20 further comprises three semiconductor diodes 26, 33 and 34. Additionally the interfacing unit portion 20 has a signal output A. The operational amplifiers 23 and 28 of the preferred embodiment are of type TL072 produced by Texas Instruments Corporation while the diodes 26, 33 and 34 are of type BAS16 produced by Philips.
From the interfacing unit portion 20 signals go to an additional electronic unit in the form of a logic device generally denoted 40 only a small portion of which is shown. The logic device 40 is of type XC3030-44, produced by XILINK, San Jose, Calif. The logic device also comprises a read and write memory in the shape of a RAM, in which, for example, any user program may be loaded to define the different logic functions obtained by this circuit. Such functions include for example, clocking of the CCD cell when reading out image data, which does not constitute a part of the invention as such but is known by a person skilled in the art. The demonstrated portion of the logic device 40 has one input A and two outputs B and C. The portion of the logic device 40 shown in FIG. 3 comprises buffers 41, 42, 43 and 45, the buffers 42 and 45 having an inverted output. The buffer 43 is a three state output buffer, having high, low and floating states. The high and the low states, respectively, correspond as usual to logic one and logic zero, respectively. Additionally there are AND gates 44, 49 and 52 having two inputs, where AND gate 44 and 52 each are provided with an inverted input and the AND gate 44 additionally also has an inverted output. The portion of the logic device 40 shown further comprises an OR gate 50 and a D-type flip-flop circuit 51. The D-type flip-flop circuit is also provided with a clocking input 55. The buffers 41, 42, 43, 45 and the gates 44, 49, 50 together form a monostable circuit which is triggered from the input A. The time constant of the monostable circuit is set forth by the resistor 46 and the capacitor 48.
In the table below is given the values of the resistors and capacitors shown in the circuit diagram of the preferred embodiment of FIG. 3.
______________________________________Resistor Capacitor______________________________________13 10M 17 330 pF14 100K 21 10 μF16 1M 25 1,5 nF22, 29 220K 36 1 μF30 820K 48 47 nF24 2,2M27 2,7M32 1,8M46 560M56 150R______________________________________
In brief the function of the circuitry is as follows. When any of the sensor elements 2, 3 and 4 is subject to X-ray radiation it will produce current which is fed into the input of the first operational amplifier 12. Similarly, when the CD device is subject to an X-ray radiation it will produce a current due to the charging of the individual capacitors constituting the individual pixel elements, which current alternatively is fed to the first operational amplifier. This amplifier 12 through resistor 13 serves as a current to voltage converter. The voltage signal from the output of operational amplifier 12 is carried via resistor 14 to the input of amplifier 15, which will amplify the signals from the sensor elements normally being pulses having the line frequency, e.g. 50 Hz, the X-ray tube being supplied with such a pulsating high tension. Capacitor 17 together with resistor 16 acts as a filter to, for example, eliminate unwanted spikes but still preserves the amplified voltage pulses from amplifier 12. Amplifiers 12 and 15 in the preferred embodiment are situated at the substrate or on the circuit board at the rear side of the image sensing member together with the three sensor elements 2, 3 and 4 and thus constitute the interfacing unit portion 10.
From the electronic unit constituting the interfacing unit portion 10 the output signal is carried from amplifier 15 to the input of the interfacing unit portion 20, where it passes a capacitor 21 and a resistor 22 presenting matching of the level and setting the point of operation to the input signal at amplifier 23. In the feed-back loop at the amplifier there is a resistor 24 and a capacitor 25 with the purpose of supplying a time constant somewhat larger than 20 ms, corresponding, in the preferred embodiment, to pulses at 50 Hz. Additionally there is a semiconductor diode 26 to ensure that the negative pulses at the input of amplifier 23 do not exceed -0,7 V.
The signal from amplifier 23 is carried via an RC link 36, 27 to amplifier 28 having a high gain and acting as a comparator with a certain hysteresis; in other words a Schmitt trigger. Diodes 33 and 34 set forth the level of the output such that at output A it produces TTL level adjusted pulses between 0V and +5V.
From output A of the interfacing unit portion 20 the signal is carried to input A of the logic device 40. To simplify the description only a part of the logic device 40 has been demonstrated in detail in the schematic diagram. The signal is fed via a buffer 41 and into a monostable circuit created by logic circuits 42, 43, 44, 45, 49 and 50 which are parts of the larger logic device 40 of the special circuitry XC3030-44. From the internal input C a signal "high" is obtained by the monostable circuit, i.e. logic "one", during the period of time when the radiation hits any of the sensor elements 2, 3 and 4. When the radiation ceases and no more pulses trigger the monostable circuit in the logic device 40, when the output of OR gate 50 goes low, i.e. the negative edge, at the next clock pulse via point 55 into the D-type flip-flop circuit 51, a signal "high" will be produced and fed out via AND gate 52 to the internal output B as an indication that the detection of radiation has ceased.
Then the signals B and C are used in a conventional way to control the rest of the electronics of, for example, the CCD cell such that when signal C goes "high" it temporarily stops the clocking of the CCD cell which then starts to integrate its image elements to produce an X-ray imaging of e.g. a tooth. When signal B later goes "high" as an indication that the X-ray apparatus is deactivated, this signal B via the logic device 40 according to known technique starts the clocking of the CCD cell and the produced image is read out picture element by picture element and is fed to an ordinary graphic interfacing card in a standard personal computer (PC) according to the state of the art.
In a second preferred embodiment simultaneously the signal from the sensor elements is integrated, according to technique known by a person skilled in the art, to also obtain a measure of the dose detected by the sensor arrangement 2, 3, 4 or as previously discussed the CCD device itself. In this case this signal also controls at the same time the signal output B via a corresponding logic arrangement, such that when the stipulated X-ray dose for an appropriate exposure is received, the produced image from the image sensing member 5 is read out. Then in this alternative a complete exposure automatically is obtained still without having to make any connection between the imaging arrangement and the X-ray source if the X-ray source was adjusted such that its minimum activated time period at least corresponds to the minimum time period necessary to get a satisfactory exposure of an X-ray image on the image sensing member 5.
In a third preferred embodiment the signal B is taken out externally and is used to control the X-ray arrangement, whereby the X-ray arrangement immediately is deactivated when the integration sets forth that sufficient dose for the exposure is received. In this case an extra interfacing unit to the X-ray arrangement is needed, which is sensitive to the signal B and thus may control the external X-ray arrangement. This interfacing unit however is designed according to technique known by a person skilled in the art the construction of which does not fall within the scope of the present invention.
The arrangement according to the present invention may of course be constructed in a number of different ways by using different components than what has been indicated here without deviating from the spirit, object and scope of the invention which is defined by the attached claims.

*(Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour can be made following the recipe for my homemade flour found in my books or on my website in various media links. It is also available pre-mixed at http://julesglutenfree.com)
Streusel Topping (double if you really like your Streusel!):
2 Tbs. softened butter or Earth Balance Buttery Sticks
2 Tbs. light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F (static) or 325 F (convection). Oil or spray an 8 x 8 baking pan.
Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside. Mash bananas in a medium-sized bowl, pour coffee over the bananas and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and combine well. Mix in the mashed bananas and coffee, then gradually stir in the dry ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Drizzle over the cake, then cut through the topping with a knife in a criss-cross fashion lengthwise, then cross-ways.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are lightly crisp and a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Anne Heyman, a Jewish philanthropist who founded a Rwandan youth village for children orphaned in that country's 1994 genocide, died in a horse-riding accident.
Heyman, 52, died Friday afternoon after falling off a horse during a jumping competition at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Florida, The Palm Beach Post reported.
Heyman's interest in aiding Rwanda was spurred by a 2005 talk on the genocide that she and her husband, Seth Merrin, attended. Together they raised $12 million to create Rwanda's Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village, according to the Post.
The village opened in December 2008, and 500 Rwandans age 14-21 currently live and study there. The village was inspired by the youth villages in Israel that resettled young Jews orphaned by the Holocaust.
Rwandan government officials expressed sorrow over Heyman's death.
"RIP #AnneHeyman – your legacy will live on forever, our thoughts are with your family and hundreds of youth in #ASYV who just lost a mother," Jean Nsengimana, Rwanda's youth minister, tweeted.
Originally from South Africa, Heyman has been involved in numerous American Jewish philanthropies. She is a former board president of Dorot, a Jewish nonprofit that organizes volunteers to help the elderly and reduce their social isolation.

Jan. 20, 1970 A. J= ALESSE ET AL AIR EVACUATED PACKAGE 2 Sheets-Sheet '1 Filed June 12, 1967 INVENTORSv ANDREW J. ALESSI 8: DOUGLAS P. ROOME fheir ATTORNEYS Jan. 20, 1970 A J. ALESSI ET A AIR EVACUATED PACKAGE 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed June 12, 1967 INVENTORS. ANDREW J. ALESSI 8 BY DOUGLAS P. ROOME \EMM 4M z'04 14144 #heir ATTORNEYS United States Patent US. Cl. 206-4511 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An air evacuated package comprising a semi-rigid tray having a pair of spaced-apart product-receiving pockets or recesses and a cover sheet overlying the tray and heatsealed to the tray. The tray includes a pair of spacedapart slits located between the pockets and defining a strip which can be lifted to raise the overlying portion of the cover sheet to afford communication with the pockets through the slits. The heat seals include main seal segments which completely surround the respective pockets except for portions generally co-extensive with the slits and secondary segments merging with the main segments and co-extensive with the slits; the main heat seal segments are formed after the package is loaded but before it is evacuated, while the secondary seals are formed after evacuation, which is accomplished by raising the defiectable strip to afford communication of a vacuum source with the pockets.
This invention relates to packaging and, more particularly, to a novel and improved evacuated package particularly suited for baconand to a method of making the package.
Many food products have, for a relatively long period of time, been vacuum packaged for retail sale in packages made from flexible plastic films. Because bacon is such a limp product and requires a rigid enforcement of some kind, it has been customary to package bacon in rigid cardboard containers or folders which are not air tight. Attempts to devise ways to vacuum package bacon have usually resulted in complications in the handling of the bacon and the rigid boards or trays inserted within the package and/or in unsightly packages.
The present invention provides a novel and attractive vacuum package suitable for bacon and other limp products and requires no special handling of bacon on rigid package inserts. More specifically, the package comprises a semi-rigid tray having a pair of spaced-apart product receiving pockets and a cover sheet overlying the tray and heat sealed to it around the peripheries of the pockets. A pair of spaced-apart slits is formed in a flange of the tray intermediate the pockets, the slits defining a defiectable strip which, during the forming of the package, is lifted in the direction of the cover sheet to create a pair of air evacuating passages, each communicating with the interior of one of the pockets.
In accordance with the method of the invention, the product is deposited in the pockets of the tray, the cover sheet is laid over the tray and preliminarily heat sealed to it around the periphery of the pockets except in the regions immediately adjacent the slits, the air is evacuated from the package with the defiectable strip in lifted condition to define the air evacuation passages, and after evacuation of the air, final heat seals are formed adjacent the slits to completely seal the evacuated pockets. If desired, an inert gas can be introduced into the package through the air evacuation passages before the final seals are made.
The package and the method of making it, in accordance with the invention, provide a number of significant advantages. For one thing, the semi-rigid tray gives an attractive appearance to the package inasmuch as the pockets substantially retain their initial shape rather than being deformed by atmospheric pressure into conformity with the product. Further, the pockets better retain the product, after the package is opened, for storage and further use. The rigid material of the tray protects the product better and is unlikely to be torn, deformed or otherwise damaged under usual conditions.
In the method of the invention, the defiectable strip, which is a portion of the tray, is rigid and has considerable strength and thus resists tearing, permanent deformation or other harmful consequences of the operation of evacuating the interiors of the pockets. The evacuating means never comes into contact with the cover sheet and thus cannot possibly damage the cover sheet in any way. Further, the defiectable strip serves as a semi-rigid holding device to better ensure holding the package open during evacuation.
In the preferred embodiment, the package is folded to place the respective product-receiving pouches in back to back relation, and the two sections joined to hold the package in folded position. The cover sheet is, preferably, transparent and the contents of the package can therefore be viewed from either side through the cover sheet. It is therefore unnecessary for the package to be displayed in a particular position, thus saving time and effort in setting up a retail display.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be made to the following description of an exemplary embodiment, taken in conjunction with the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of the top of a partially completed package;
FIG. 2 is a view of the bottom of the package at the same stage of the packaging method as shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view of the top of a nearly completed package, except that it has not been folded; and
FIG. 4 is a pictorial view of a folded package.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the package includes a generally rectangular tray 10 which is made of a semirigid plastic and is formed to provide a pair of substantially identical, generally rectangular depressions or pockets 12. A high density semi-rigid polyethylene, such as extruded sheet material having a thickness of 13 mils made of Du Pont resin No. 7511, has been found particularly well-suited for use in the package. The pockets are formed by conventional heat-stamping or vacuum forming techniques and, in the particular embodiment, which is a bacon package, slope relatively gradually from the outside, longer edges 12a to a relatively flat base and then curve upwardly rather sharply at the inner edges 12c. The bacon strips 14 are deposited in the pockets in the usual overlapping relation. The above-described shape of the pockets 12 has been found to be the best shape for efficiently accommodating the overlapping bacon strips.
Formed generally centrally in a flange between the two pockets 12 in the tray is a pair of spaced-apart slits 16 which define an elongated defiectable strip 18. The slits 16 and strip 18 constitute an important feature of the package of the invention, and their function will be described in greater detail hereinafter. The center of the package is divided into substantially identical side-by-side parts by a longitudinally extending line of perforations 20. These perforations enable the two package parts, each of which includes one of the pockets 12, to be separated from each other for separate use, if desired.
In the method of packaging the bacon, the bacon is deposited in the pockets 12 of the tray 10, and a cover sheet or web of transparent plastic film 22 is laid over the top of the tray and is preliminarily heat sealed about the perimeters of the pockets 12 except in the portions lying generally between the slits 16 and the pockets 12. More particularly, the initial heat seals 24 extend from a point 26 adjacent one end of each of the slits 16 and extend around the perimeter of each of the pockets 12 and terminate at a point 28 adjacent the opposite end of each of the slits 16. With the deflectable strip 18 in raised condition to define air evacuation passages which communicate with the pockets 12, the air is evacuated from the package, and then, as shown in FIG. 3, final heat seals 29 are formed between the points 26 and 28 to close the gaps between the ends of the initial seals 24 and seal off the evacuation passages. The final seals 29 overlap, to an extent, with the ends of the initial seals 24. As illustrated, the final seals 29 extend longitudinally with respect to the pockets 12, on the inside of the slits 16 and isolate the pockets from the slits. After air evacuation but before final sealing, an inert gas can, if desired, be introduced into the pockets through the passages formed between the strip 18 when it is raised above the tray surface.
Referring to FIG. 4 the evacuated and sealed package is then folded over to bring the bottom 12b of the pockets 12 in ,back-to-back relation in Wallet-like fashion and a strip of tape 32, a wraparound hinder or other suitable means is applied to hold the package in folded condition. The tray flanges may include, as an alternative or supplement to tape or a binder, formations, such as a tab and slot, adapted to hold the package folded over. It will be noted that the transparent film 22 forms the exterior of the package and that the bacon or other contents of the package can be viewed from either side. The package might also be folded over by the user to bring the cover sheet in face-to-faee relation for storage, the relatively rigid tray providing a protective shell around the product; to this end, the package flanges may be formed with a cooperative tab and slot arrangement to hold the package folded.
The term air-evacuated package as used in the claims is intended to include not only a package from which substantially all air has been removed but also a package from which the air is removed and then replaced or partially replaced with an inert gas.
The above-described embodiment of the invention is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will be able to make many variations and modifications of its without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. All such variations and modifications are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
We claim:
1. An air evacuated package comprising a semi-rigid tray having a pair of spaced-part product-receiving pockets therein, a cover sheet overlying the tray, a pair of substantially parallel spaced-apart slits in the portion of the tray between the pockets defining therebetween a lift strip which when raised also raises the cover sheet to provide evacuation passages for both pockets, a first heat s l connecting the cover sheet to the tray and extending continuously at least around the outer periphery of both pockets, said first heat seal leaving open the evacuation passages defined by the raised lift strip, and a second heat seal connecting the coversheet to the tray and extending longitudinally between the pockets and adjacent the slits to seal said evacuation passages. I I
2. An air evacuated package as set forth in claim 1 in which the cover sheet is transparent and including a fold line extending continuously between the pockets and across the lift strip to permit the package to be foldedwith the bottoms of the pockets in back-to-back relationship, and means to maintain the package in the folded condition.

Talented students show off their skills in competitions
Last updated at 14:26, Tuesday, 05 February 2013
CONSTRUCTION students from across Cumbria went head-to-head in competitions in their specialist fields.
The Cumbria Colleges construction challenge was hosted at Furness College, in Barrow, on Friday and included learners from Furness College, Kendal College, Lakes College West Cumbria and Carlisle College.
The county's talented craft trainees displayed their skills in the areas of plastering, carpentry and joinery, brickwork and painting and decorating in the timed tests.
The events were staged in the construction workshops within the state-of-the-art CopperBox building.
The challenges were designed and developed by lecturers in the Furness College construction department.
In plastering the students were tasked with running plaster moulding and fixing them to the walls they had skimmed.
Karen Fowler, of Dalton, is a Level Two plastering diploma student at Furness College.
Mrs Fowler, 48, started the course last year after enjoying a plastering evening class.
The mother-of-three, who had previously worked in secretarial roles, fancied a change of direction once two of her children had grown up. Last year Mrs Fowler and her 20-year-old daughter, Danielle Fowler,were both students at the college, with Miss Fowler then studying brickwork.
Mrs Fowler, who was pleased with how her plastering performed on the day, said: "I really enjoyed the evening plastering class, but I was not sure if I should do it full-time. But when I came to the college they were fantastic, they were really encouraging. I really enjoy decorative plastering."
Joinery and carpentry students were asked to build a frame using different joints of timber.
Brandon Williamson is a Kendal College Level One joinery and carpentry diploma student.
The 19-year-old, who lives in Kendal, said: "It's going better than what I thought it would. Events like these are good for my skills and my CV. It shows where you are compared with other students.
"The new college building is nice. It seems to have everything."
In brickwork students created a small decorative wall with a decorative panel.
Daniel Lord, 22, who is a Level Three brickwork diploma student at Lakes College West Cumbria, in Workington, said: "It's been a good challenge, it's going good."
Painting and decorating students were tested on their emulsioning and creating a stencil image of the Furness College logo.
Mary Gray, 19, a Level One painting and decorating diploma student of Carlisle College, said: "It's a really good challenge, I'm a bit competitive so I like it. The new college is very nice."
Brian Bibby, Furness College's construction curriculum manager, said: "The event is a Cumbria Colleges collaboration challenge. For the students it gives the trade that they are studying more meaning, and it gives them the chance to see how they compare against other students.
"We hope it may encourage the students to enter the SkillsBuild competitions. There has been a good standard of work on show. For some of the learners this is their first year in training.
"Hopefully it will give them aspiration to progress."

A rotary mechanism includes a stator body defining a chamber and an elongated rotor operationally disposed within the chamber. The elongated rotor has opposed ends with a central axis defining an axis of rotation, with magnetic driven elements disposed on the rotor and positioned outwardly of the rotor axis between the opposed ends. Passive magnetic bearing pairs are positioned along opposed ends of the rotor body with each bearing pair being similarly polarized so as to be in mutually attracting or mutually repelling relationship. A third passive magnetic bearing pair is positioned along the rotor axis between the opposed ends with the third bearing pair being magnetically coupled similarly to the first and second bearing pairs, with the passive magnetic bearings creating an unstable negative force in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor with the negative stiffness being overcome upon rotation of the rotor creating a centrifugal force of a magnitude greater than that of the unstable negative force.
1. A rotary mechanism comprising a stator body with an inner wall defining a chamber having an axis and enclosing a liquid and having opposed ends disposed coaxially with said chamber, an elongated rotor having opposed first and second ends and being operationally disposed within said chamber and having a rotor axis defining an axis of rotation, magnetic driven means disposed on said elongated rotor and being positioned radially outwardly of said rotor axis generally medially of said first and second ends, electromagnetic drive means coupled to a source of energy and arranged along said stator body to deliver rotational driving energy to said rotor through said magnetic driven means; said rotor comprising;
(a) a rotor body having a relative density substantially less than that of said chamber liquid;
(b) a configuration defining an elongated surface of revolution with an axial length defined between said first and second ends; and with a diameter of said rotor body transverse to said axis of rotation being selected to provide a clearance between an outer surface of said rotor body and the inner wall of said stator body;
(c) said rotary mechanism having a plurality of passive magnetic bearing pairs, each bearing pair consisting of first and second magnetic bodies in mutually magnetically coupled relationship with the first magnetic bodies of each bearing pair being mounted on said elongated rotary body and with the second magnetic bodies of each bearing pair being mounted along the inner wall of said stator disposed adjacent to and in magnetically coupled relationship with respective first magnetic bodies to form said bearing pairs;
(d) each of said first and second magnetic bodies solely comprising a permanent magnet;

The present invention relates generally to a novel suspension system for the rotor component in a rotor/stator assembly, and more particularly to such a system which provides for passive and stable suspension of the rotor. Assemblies utilizing the features of the present invention are adapted for a wide variety of applications, including fluid handling systems for fragile or aggressive fluids, as well as for other applications pertaining to instrumentation, as well as applications for such assemblies which may be characterized as either delicate and/or rugged. The novel passive and stable suspension system of the present invention includes a rotor which is typically suspended within a stator, with the rotor being stabilized through passive magnetic as well as hydrodynamic forces.
The magnetic components may be designed in a variety of different coupling arrangements, with passive magnetic bearings being employed for creating stability along certain selected planes or axes and further creating one resultant unstable negative force in one plane or along an axis. More specifically, the magnetic forces are designed to create an unstable negative force in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor, with stable and positive forces and moments being created in all other degrees of freedom excepting of course, rotation of the rotor. This resultant instability in the axis of rotation is overcome upon rotation of the rotor creating a centrifugal force of magnitude greater than that of the unstable negative force. In other words, when rotating, the forces created in the rotor return the body to an appropriate point of origin for the intersection of the X, Y and Z axes.
The suspension system of the present invention utilizes magnetic bearings for creation of positive stiffness and a resultant negative stiffness, with the overall stiffness in five of the six degrees of freedom being positive. Dynamic stability of the system is ultimately achieved through centrifugal/centripital forces, with dynamic stability being achieved.
Except for the passive magnetic stabilization system and the dynamic magnetic forces utilized to drive the rotor, assemblies of the present invention are otherwise bearing and seal-free. Passive magnetic forces are applied to the rotor during periods of rotation and dwell, with these passive forces including a resultant unstable negative force in a plane or along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation. As such, assemblies employing the magnetically stabilized rotor/stator assemblies of the present invention are particularly well adapted for a wide variety of mechanical applications, with one such application being in a centrifugal pump for handling highly aggressive such as corrosive, poisonous, or dangerously radioactive fluids, as well as fragile fluids including human or animal blood. During any transfer/movement of such fluids, it is frequently dangerous to expose the structure to forces such as unusual impact and/or shear forces, and thus the advantage of utilizing bearing and seal-free pumps, and particularly one wherein the rotor/stator assembly is at least partially magnetically stabilized. A particular advantageous feature of the present invention is that of providing a passive magnetic force to the rotor which when combined with the centrifugal forces, reduces and/or completely eliminates surface-to-surface contact between rotor and stator surfaces.
In connection with one application of the present invention, pump assemblies utilizing the features of the present invention may be exposed to aggressive fluids, including corrosion, poisonous or radioactive fluids, as well as fluids which cannot tolerate contamination. Through elimination of seals and/or bearings the lifetime and/or longevity of the pump or other assembly or structure is increased.
Poisonous fluids, for example, become extremely dangerous whenever leakage develops, a common consequence of bearing failure. In pump applications for the present invention, a rotor or impeller is utilized in an assembly which is bearing and seal-free, with the rotor being dynamically balanced and stable during operation. Bearing and seal-free pumps utilizing the rotor/stator assemblies of the present invention are particularly well adapted for transferring human blood and other delicate liquids without damaging and/or otherwise significantly adversely affecting their composition or quality. Furthermore, the magnetic stabilization feature of the present invention provides stable positioning of the rotor during operation. Depending upon the application, the rotor may be fabricated from any of a variety of non-magnetic materials, including, for example, metals such as titanium and non-metals such as pyrolytic carbon. Certain engineered plastics have also been found useful.
Another feature of rotors and stators suitable for application in the present invention is that they be capable of receiving and reliably retaining passive magnetic components which deliver forces stabilizing the rotor. Although not in the form of a mechanical surface-contacting bearing, the passive magnetic components utilized in the present invention may be positioned and/or arranged to function as magnetic thrust bearings. The rotor is also arranged to be capable of receiving and reliably retaining magnetic components such as electromagnetic components used in the drive system for delivering energy to the rotor for rotation. Generally, an array of permanent magnets are positioned within the rotor and stator components in a brushless motor configuration. Alternatively, the drive mechanism may employ permanent magnet-to-permanent magnet couplings similarly mounted. The arrangement of the present invention provides for the economic utilization of a magnetically levitated rotor/stator assembly which may be fabricated by conventional processes, and therefore highly economically viable. Rotor stabilization and/or suspension may be achieved with passive magnetic bearings such as positioned in different arrangements or configurations. In preferred configurations, magnetically coupled bearings may provide positive forces in five of the six possible degrees of freedom, while providing one unstable negative force, preferably in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, with this instability being overcome by a centrifugal force of greater magnitude.
An English scientist, Rev. Samuel Earnshaw concluded in his paper published in 1839 that it is impossible to create a passive stable suspension of a body using passive electromagnetic and electrostatic forces. Following Earnshaw's theory and utilizing stable suspension or levitation, active magnetic bearings including permanent magnets and coils have been utilized to control and/or manipulate one or more degrees of freedom. Alternatively, superconductors may be utilized instead of magnetic bearings, however means for achieving a result appear impractical. Active magnetic bearing technology functions, but it has been found complex, costly, and less reliable than other mechanical means. In certain applications, active magnetic bearings are substituted by a combination of hydrodynamic and mechanical journal bearings, but in such cases, it is not a true suspension since clearances between the rotor and the journal are tight, frequently in the range of between 4 and 12 microns, although slightly greater tolerance levels may be satisfactorily utilized in certain applications.
When an object such as a rotor rotates in a liquid fluid medium, the rotor and the medium interact and inertial centrifugal/centripital forces are created. These forces are governed by the following equation:
When the density of the rotor is less than that of the liquid medium, the resultant inertial force Fc acting on the rotor is directed toward the axis of rotation and is a source of creation of positive stiffness for the rotor suspension in two degrees of freedom perpendicular to the axis of rotation. For the rotor 12 in
In certain applications, the passive and stable suspension of the rotor may be achieved by utilizing those hydrodynamic and inertial forces developed in rotation of the liquid and the rotor. Since the centrifugal force Fc is dependent upon the square of the rate of rotation, stable passive levitation is achieved only after reaching a predetermined level of rate of rotation.
In other applications, the less dense rotor effect may be used in combination with non-contact bearings, namely passive magnetic bearings. In these instances, the positive stiffness created by centrifugal forces becomes greater than the resultant negative stiffness of the passive permanent magnet system created in the same plane. Thus, the stable suspension of the rotor may be achieved. Thus, the centrifugal forces developed in operation of the assembly of the present invention overpower those forces of instability considered by Earnshaw in his conclusion.
In the present arrangement, it will be appreciated that passive and stable suspension of the rotor may be obtained with the rotor being of a selected density, less than the density of the medium in which it rotates. This passive and stable suspension is achieved with permanent magnet pairs configured to provide permanent magnet bearings, and with the rotor having its selected density of less than that of the medium in which it is rotated. In each instance, the rotor is driven by non-contact means, such as a magnetic assembly in a brushless motor configuration.
In the present arrangement, centrifugal/centripital forces in combination with magnetic forces overcome any instability in the X, Y and Z axes. The ratios of positive and any resultant negative stiffness of magnetic bearings are such that overall positive stiffness of the rotor assembly is achieved through all five degrees of rotor freedom aided by centrifugal/centripital forces developed in the rotating fluid/medium. The rotor is therefore rendered stably suspended in the medium when the restoring forces from positive stiffnesses of the system in the respective degrees of freedom are greater than external destabilizing forces of negative stiffness.
Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a passive and stable suspension of a rotor utilizing magnetic or electrostatic forces applied relative to a reference frame.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a stable suspension of a rotor within a stator with positive stiffness in all five degrees of freedom, excepting in the sixth degree of freedom which is defined as a rotation around or about the axis of rotation of the rotor when a torque is applied.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a passive and stable suspension of a rotor within a stator utilizing inertial dynamic interaction between the rotor and a fluid medium in which the rotor rotates to create positive stiffness in all five degrees of freedom of the rotor.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a passive and stable suspension of the rotor incorporating passive permanent magnetic bearings and dynamic interaction between the rotor and a fluid medium in which the rotor is rotating for use in a variety of applications.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a novel passive and stably suspended rotor in a one of a kind mechanism employing a rotor confined within a stator, and wherein stability is achieved through rotation of the rotor.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a novel rotor/stator assembly preferably of generally cylindrical or other surface of revolution configuration wherein the rotor is disposed within the core of the stator, creating an annular zone between the chamber walls and the rotor surface, and wherein a fluid media fill is provided in the annular zone, and with forces being exerted or applied to the fluid media upon rotation of the rotor.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a rotor/stator assembly wherein a fluid medium is contained in the stator chamber.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a novel rotor/stator assembly wherein a fluid media flows into and out of the stator chamber.
Other and further objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a study of the following specification, appended claims, and accompanying drawings.
With reference to the device illustrated in
The origin of the system is located in the geometrical center of the rotor 12. In rotor 12, one degree of freedom is preserved for rotation about the Z axis. Support of rotor 12 is provided, with the support having the positive stiffness in each of the other five degrees of freedom, with "positive stiffness" being defined as a restoring force created whenever displacement from the origin occurs. In other words, the restoring force created by centrifugal forces return the body to the origin, thus providing overall stability for the operational structure. "Negative stiffness", on the other hand, is a force moving or rotating the body from the origin. Applying this conclusion to the present circumstance, and using as an example, rotor 12, it would be concluded that rotor 12 cannot be stably suspended by applying only permanent (passive) magnets for all required degrees of freedom.
Depending upon the respective magnetization polarities of the passive magnet pairs 21 and 22 comprising a magnetic bearing for mounting in the stator and rotor, attractive or repulsive forces from permanent magnets comprising the bearing can be obtained. These are illustrated in
As illustrated in
In addition to those forces created from the axially spaced permanent magnetic bearing pairs, additional stabilizing and destabilizing forces are created by the magnetic drive coupling utilized to cause relative rotation between rotor and stator components. Stated another way, when attractive forces are involved in the permanent magnet arrangement of
With attention now being directed to
It will be appreciated, of course, that various modifications may be made in the preferred embodiment illustrated above, and these modifications may be made without actually departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

A month ago, Ohio State was a win away from playing for a national championship. Through Urban Meyer's first 24 games as the head coach in Columbus, the Buckeyes had lost zero times.
Of course, the championship dreams and that perfect record were dashed in a 34-24 loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten title game, and so the Buckeyes have to settle for a slot in the Orange Bowl. You know the expectations are high when the main question entering a BCS bowl game is whether one of the participants can "get up" for the game. But that's the reality for this Ohio State team, one that was oh so close to playing for the crystal football.
"The worst part was probably the four days after," Meyer said at a Thursday press conference regarding the program's first loss under his leadership. "All the coaches, I think three-fourths of our staff left from Indianapolis and went out recruiting. Myself, I went back and then went out recruiting. We came back, and the feeling inside of you the whole three days we had to walk in and smile, that was the most phony smile you've probably ever seen. And then to get back and see the players you care about and see the pain on their face. We had an emotional meeting ... and from that point forward they've been fine. And the Orange Bowl's had a lot to do with that."
[MORE: Big Ten bowl roundup: Impressions of the New Year's Day games]
The Orange Bowl is still quite prestigious, though, as perhaps those Buckeye fans already buying their tickets for the title game need to be reminded. And Clemson is one heck of an opponent. Let us not forget that while it's not the national title bout, it is a BCS bowl game between a pair of top-10 teams. Meyer hasn't forgotten that. He said he's coached teams that needed a wake-up call when playing for a consolation prize. This situation, though, is keeping his Buckeyes alert.
"If it was against an opponent that didn't have the flash or the talent that Clemson has — that's a very good question and it's true. We've dealt with that before. The Sugar Bowl, when I was at Florida, we just missed playing for a national championship and we lost the (SEC) title game. And they came back and responded very well, but once again because of the quality of bowl. I credit that to the Sugar Bowl," Meyer said. "And so our players understand, and the way they're treated, they understand that this is big-time football. So I don't feel that, and obviously the final results will be (Friday) night."
The quality of opponent, too, is very high. Clemson suffered two losses all season long, and those came against Florida State, the No. 1 team in the country, and South Carolina, a top-10 team a game away from playing No. 2 Auburn for the SEC championship. Led by the electric offensive tandem of quarterback Tajh Boyd (the ACC leader in offensive yardage) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (who Ohio State safety C.J. Barnett called the best wideout he's faced all season), the Tigers posted 50 points five different times this year. Add that to Ohio State's own high-scoring offensive unit starring dual-threat quarterback Braxton Miller and running back Carlos Hyde, and you've got a potion for an explosive Orange Bowl.
"The issue is going to be the team you're playing, and they're very good at what they do," Meyer said. "And it's not just covering, but it's getting them on the ground because the skill positions at Clemson are as good as anyone in America. I'm anticipating that our guys play very hard."
[RELATED: Bill O'Brien resigns at Penn State, search for new coach begins]
Friday, Meyer will coach in his fifth BCS bowl game (with his third different team). He's also been in charge teams that have been sent to BCS games when bigger things were possible. He was very frank in press conference when comparing this group of Buckeyes to his prior groups of players, so when he said his team would be ready to play, it carried some weight. Will an Orange Bowl win erase the feeling of what could've been? Probably not. But a 25-1 record in two seasons ain't too shabby.
"It's a chance to go compete. Whether it's checkers, ping pong, we're going to try to go win a game. Our objective every time they keep score is go win," Meyer said. "And that's the mentality we try to create within our program, and whether it's the Orange Bowl, whether it's the eighth game of the season, we're trying to win that game. Early in bowl practice we gave a lot of work with the young players and in the plus periods after practice, but the last 10 days have been all about trying to compete to win.
"12-2 is a lot different than 13-1, and winning a BCS bowl game is very important."
