A battery charger for nickel-cadmium batteries uses a silicon controlled rectifier to rectify the alternating supply voltage. The silicon controlled rectifier has a current applied to its gate near the end of each positive half-wave, at a point after the voltage is low enough not to injure the battery being charged. An electronic timer is used to select the desired point in the half-wave, time being dependent on the charging of a capacitor. To terminate the charging, the circuit to the capacitor is opened. Termination of charging may be by monitoring the temperature of the battery and terminating on reaching a predetermined temperature, or by monitoring the battery voltage and terminating when the change in the voltage reverses.
1. A battery charger for charging a battery from a supply of alternating current, said battery charger including rectifying means including at least one controllable rectifier connected in series with said battery, and gate means for selectively causing said rectifying means to allow current flow in one direction, timing trigger means for timing said gate means, and temperature responsive means for terminating the charging of said battery when said battery is fully charged, while said battery is connected in series with said rectifying means, said temperature responsive means including a thermostatic switch adjacent to and in thermal communication with said battery and connected in series therewith so that opening of said thermostatic switch reduces the current through said battery sufficiently that there is no further charging of said battery, and further including a relay means in series with said battery, normally open relay switch means for disabling said timing trigger means, and means for energizing said relay means.
2. A battery charger as claimed in claim 5, said means for energizing said relay means comprising starter switch means in parallel with said relay switch means.
3. A battery charger as claimed in claim 5, said thermostatic switch being connected to deenergize said relay means when said battery becomes sufficiently hot to operate said thermostatic switch.
4. A battery charger as claimed in claim 7, said timing trigger means including a resistor-capacitor network connected in parallel with said rectifying means, said resistor-capacitor network acting as a timing means for triggering said gate means, said timing trigger further including voltage divider means, a unijunction transistor in parallel with said rectifying means and between said voltage divider means, said unijunction transistor having an emitter connected to one side of said resistor-capacitor network, said rectifying means comprising a silicon controlled rectifier, said gate means being connected to one side of said unijunction transistor, the arrangement being such that a charge on said capacitor will cause said unijunction transistor to conduct allowing a current flow to said gate means for causing said silicon controlled rectifier to conduct, the time required for charging said capacitor being the delay for selecting the desired portion of the half-wave of alternating
5. A battery charger as claimed in claim 8, and further including an indicator lamp connected in parallel with said rectifying means for indicating when said battery is being charged.
Nickel-cadmium batteries and the like are in very common use, and such batteries are frequently used in portable power tools. While portable power tools and the like have been well accepted in the marketplace, there is a severe disadvantage in that the batteries require about an hour to recharge. While the batteries are recharging, the tool is inoperable unless one invests in a second battery for use with the same tool. It will be recognized that, in any event, faster charging of the battery would yield greater efficiency with the tool.
Prior art battery chargers for nickel-cadmium batteries comprise a transformer to lower the voltage to the range of the battery voltage. The lower voltage is then rectified, and sometimes adjusted to be sure the charging voltage is in the desired range. The use of a transformer drastically increases the weight of the battery charger, and of course the circuitry is increased because of the necessity to rectify the voltage, and stabilize the voltage.
This invention relates generally to battery chargers, and is more particularly concerned with a battery charger for nickel-cadmium batteries using circuit means for selecting the desired point in a pulsating voltage, and means for terminating the charging.
The present invention provides a battery charger operating from a standard electric power supply, such as 120 v.a.c., the AC voltage being rectified for providing a pulsating DC voltage. A small portion of the cycle is utilized, the portion being in the time just before the pulsating voltage reaches zero volts. To achieve the desired charge without damaging the battery, the maximum voltage is selected to be low enough not to damage the battery. At this maximum voltage, the supply voltage is connected to charge the battery, and remains so connected until the voltage falls below the battery voltage.
In one embodiment of the invention, half-wave rectification is used, so each cycle of the supply voltage will provide one pulse for charging the battery. In another embodiment of the invention, full-wave rectification is used, and each cycle of the alternating supply voltage provides two pulses for charging the battery. In both embodiments, circuit means is caused to conduct in a preselected portion of the half-wave, and current is supplied to the battery from the time the circuit means is caused to conduct until said half-wave voltage falls below the battery voltage.
When the battery is charged, the charging must be terminated. The present invention contemplates both the use of temperature of the battery as a signal to terminate the charging, and a reversal in the change in voltage as the signal to terminate the charging.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from consideration of the following specification when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention utilizing half-wave rectification and temperature as the signal for charge termination;
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention utilizing full-wave rectification and temperature as the signal for charge termination; and,
FIG. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention utilizing full-wave rectification, and reversal of voltage change as the signal for charge termination.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, and to those embodiments of the invention here presented by way of illustration, FIG. 1 illustrates a battery 10 to be charged. The battery 10 has a thermostat 11 in conjunction therewith. As is known to those skilled in the art, the temperature of a Nickel-Cadmium battery (hereinafter referred to as a NiCad battery) increases during the charging cycle. As the battery approaches full charge, the increase in temperature turns sharply upward. The thermostat 11 can therefore be set to open during the sharp increase in temperature rise, and the charge termination will be rather accurate.
A source of power is provided on the lines 12 and 14, the voltage being indicated as 120 VAC, though it will be readily understood that other available voltages are equally usable. The line 14 is connected to the battery 10 through a resistor 15, the resistor 15 being in parallel with the thermostat 11. The line 12 is connected to the battery 10 through the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 16, in the line 18. It should thus be understood that, when the alternating current flows in one direction, current can flow from the line 12, through the SCR 16 when the SCR is conducting, to the battery 10, thence through the thermostatic switch 11 and resistor 15, to line 14. However, when the alternating current flows in the opposite direction, the flow of current will be blocked by the SCR 16.
With the above in mind, it will be seen that selective triggering of the SCR 16 will determine the duration and amount of power allowed to reach the battery 10. More particularly, the SCR 16 will prevent charging of the battery 10 until a current is applied to the gate 19; then, the SCR 16 will conduct until the voltage on the line 12 falls below the battery voltage. The control over the battery charging is therefore in the control of the current applied to the gate 19.
The gate 19 is connected to a line 20, the line 20 containing a unijunction transistor (UJT) 21 in series with a resistor 22. The emitter 23 of the UJT 21 is connected to a circuit branch 25 having a capacitor 26 and a resistor 28 in series. The resistor 28 is also in series with a resistor 29 in the line 12.
With the above description in mind, it will be understood that current will flow through the line 12, through the resistors 29 and 28, through the branch 25 to charge the capacitor 26, then to the line 30. While the current will then flow through the battery 10, the current will be negligible. The time required to charge the capacitor 26 amounts to a delay in sending the charging current to the battery 10; and, once the capacitor 26 is charged, the voltage will be placed on the emitter 23 of the UJT 21 to cause the UJT to conduct. The resistor-capacitor network therefore acts with the UJT 21 to provide a timing trigger for the SCR 16.
One base of the UJT 21 is connected between the resistors 28 and 29 which act as a voltage divider. Thus, when the UJT 21 conducts, current will flow in the line 20, so there will be a triggering voltage on the line 20, causing a current flow to the gate 19 of the SCR 16, causing the SCR 16 to conduct. As was discussed above, this will allow charging current to the battery 10.
After triggering the UJT 21, the capacitor 26 will be discharged, thereby removing the potential from the emitter of the UJT 21, which in turn removes the potential from the gate 19 of the SCR 16. As a result, when the voltage on line 12 falls below the battery voltage, the SCR 16 will be turned off and will remain off until another triggering voltage on the gate 19 as previously described. Each positive half-wave of the voltage on the lines 12 and 14 will therefore provide a small pulse of charging current to the battery 10.
When the battery 10 is fully charged, the temperature of the battery will turn up sharply, so the temperature will be sufficient to cause the thermostat 11 to open. It will be noted that the battery 10 is still connected to the line 14, but the connection is through the resistor 15 which is high enough to prevent more than a trickle of current. This current is small enough that the battery 10 would not be damaged even if such current continue for an extended period of time. The resistor 15 serves the function of maintaining a small supply of heat at the battery 10 in order to hold the thermostat 11 open.
FIG. 1 includes an indicator light 31 to indicate when the battery 10 is being charged. A diode 32 is in series so the light 31 can be lighted only on the same positive half-waves that charge the battery 10, and a resistor 34 is also in series to limit the current through the light. Thus, the light 31, which is a gas discharge lamp, will light while the thermostatic switch 11 is closed. When the switch 11 opens, the resistor 15 is of a sufficiently high value that the light 31 can no longer light.
Attention is next directed to FIG. 2 of the drawings which shows a battery charger providing full wave rectification. The circuitry for providing the charging current for the battery is the same as in FIG. 1 and will not be described in detail. Equivalent parts in FIG. 2 carry the same numbers as in FIG. 1, with a 1 prefix. The termination circuitry is somewhat different because of the full-wave rectification.
Looking at FIG. 2 in detail, power is supplied on lines 112 and 114 which are connected to a full wave rectifier 35. The positive side of the rectifier 35 leads to line 36 which includes the resistors 129 and 128. Between these resistors, the line 120 is connected, the line 120 including the UJT 121 and resistor 122. After the resistor 128, the branch 125 is connected, and contains the capacitor 126. The opposite side of the capacitor 126 is connected to the line 130. It will also be noted that the gas discharge lamp 131 is connected as in FIG. 1, but without the diode 32 since both half-waves are utilized in the embodiment of FIG. 2.
It will be remembered that the capacitor 126 must be charged to provide the triggering voltage on the UJT 121. It will be noted that there is a relay 38 having a normally open contact 39, the contact 39 being in the line 130. Thus, the capacitor 126 cannot charge until the relay contact 39 is closed; however, the relay 38 is energized by current from the battery 110 flowing from the positive pole through line 41 and diode 42, and from the negative pole through the thermostat 111 and the contact 39. A starter switch 40 is connected in parallel with the contact 39, the switch 40 being a normally open, manually operated, momentary contact pushbutton.
In operation of the charger in FIG. 2, the switch 40 must be momentarily closed, and this will allow the capacitor 126 to charge. When the charge reaches the proper level, the UJT will be fired to cause the SCR 116 to conduct, thus charging the battery 110. Momentarily closing the switch 40 also energizes the relay 38. When the relay 38 is energized, the contact 39 will be closed. Since the contact 39 is parallel to the switch 40, the contact 39 acts as a self hold for the relay 38. The diode 42 prevents the charging of the capacitor 126 through the relay 38 and battery 110, to the line rectifier 35. When the battery 110 is fully charged, the thermostatic switch 111 will open, breaking the circuit to the line 130 and removing the potential from one side of the relay 38. The relay 38 will therefore drop and the contact 39 will open. The SCR 116 will not be caused to conduct until the switch 40 is again closed to start the charging process.
The above described embodiments of the present invention use the rise in temperature as a signal to terminate the charging of a NiCad battery, and such a procedure works quite well for many battery chargers. It should be realized, however, that as the charging rate increases, it is more difficult to terminate the charging of a battery by monitoring temperature. One difficulty is that, since the rate of charge is high, the rate of temperature increase is also high. As a result, when the temperature increase makes a sharp upturn, the upturn is harder to detect with apparatus such as a thermostatic element.
NiCad batteries exhibit a peculiar voltage change during the charge cycle in that the voltage increases to a maximum, then begins to decrease. The maximum charge for the battery occurs at the apex of the curve; therefore, if one can detect the point at which the change in voltage decreases rather than increases one can terminate the charge cycle at precisely the right time. The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings is one arrangement for accomplishing such a procedure.
Again, the charging circuit shown in FIG. 3 is substantially the same as the charging circuits shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The difference in FIG. 3 is the terminating means. Thus, FIG. 3 carries the same reference numerals as FIGS. 1 and 2 for equivalent parts, with a 2 prefix.
Looking briefly at the upper portion of FIG. 3, the lines 212 and 214 feed a full-wave rectifier 235. The positive output on line 236 is fed to an SCR 216 and to the relaxation oscillator including the resistors 228 and 229 and capacitor 226. A UJT 221 is connected between the resistors 228 and 229, the output of the UJT 221 acting to trigger the SCR 216. As before, the operation of the battery charger depends on charging of the capacitor 226; and, in the circuitry shown in FIG. 3, the capacitor 226 cannot charge until the switch 45 is closed. The switch 45 is a relay contact associated with the relay 46, so operation of the relay 46 must be understood.
Positive battery voltage is placed on the line 48 which is connected to the capacitor 49, so the capacitor 49 will reflect the voltage of the battery 210. The opposite side of the capacitor 49 is connected to one base of a UJT 50, the other base being connected to the line 230. Thus, when the UJT 50 is caused to conduct, the voltage of the capacitor 49 will be set to zero. The emitter 51 of the UJT 50 is connected to the output of a timer 52, so the UJT 50 is fired at regular intervals to set the voltage of the capacitor 49 to zero at regular intervals.
When the capacitor 49 has a voltage thereon, that voltage is fed to the operational amplifier (op-amp) 54. The op-amp 54 acts as a high impedance buffer for the second op-amp 55 which acts as a comparator. The op-amp 55 is designed to operate with hysteresis, so the op-amp 55 can compare each new voltage pulse with the previous voltage pulse. As long as each voltage sample from the capacitor 49 is equal to or higher than the preceding sample, the output from the comparator 55 will be positive, and the relay 46 will be energized. When a voltage sample is lower than the preceding sample, the output from the comparator will be zero, and the relay 46 will be deenergized.
The apparatus shown in FIG. 3 includes a power supply 56 for driving the timer 52 and the op-amps 54 and 55. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the power supply 56 can be of conventional form, receiving input from the lines 212 and 214 and having an output of around 6 volts. The timer 52 and op-amps 54 and 55 are similarly conventional devices, and the desired items can be selected for the particular power needed.
It will therefore be understood that the present invention provides a battery charger that does not require a transformer to lower the supply voltage. Rather, the alternating supply voltage is rectified, and the rectified voltage is not connected to the battery to be charged until the cyclical voltage has reached its maximum and is moving down. When the voltage is low enough not to damage the battery to be charged, the supply is connected to the battery so the battery receives a charging pulse. The pulse is terminated when the supply voltage drops to the battery voltage.
To select the time for connecting the battery to the supply voltage, a relaxation oscillator is used to control a switch means such as a thyristor. The relaxation oscillator is timed with the supply voltage, and controls the switch means in the proper, timed, cycles. Obviously other timing trigger means will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.
Termination of the charging can be accomplished through a signal indicating battery temperature, or through a signal indicating a reversal in the change of battery voltage. Thus, the present invention includes the use of a thermostatic switch to terminate the charging of the battery as one embodiment, and includes the use of voltage sampling and comparing means to detect the reversal of the change in battery voltage to terminate the charging of the battery.
The voltage sampling and comparing means shown in the drawings and described above is an analog system, but it will be recognized that a digital system can equally well be used. The input, analog, voltage will be connected to an analog-to-digital converter (A/D); and, the output from the A/D goes to both a latch and one input of a comparator. The output of the latch will go to the second input of the comparator. The comparator will therefore read the present voltage level from the A/D and the previous level from the latch. The output from the comparator can be fed to a flip-flop so that, as long as the present voltage is equal to or greater than the previous voltage, charging will continue. When the present voltage is less than the previous voltage, the flip-flop will be reset and charging will be terminated.
It will therefore be seen that the digital form of voltage detection is the equivalent of the analog voltage detection shown and described, and it is thought that these and other arrangements will be readily devised by those skilled in the art.
It will therefore be understood by those skilled in the art that the particular embodiments of the invention here presented are by way of illustration only, and are meant to be in no way restrictive; therefore, numerous changes and modifications may be made, and the full use of equivalents resorted to, without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention and outlined in the appended claims.

An excellent book that I would reccommend to anyone.,
This review is from: The First World War (Paperback)
Coming from a generation whose grandparents were involved in the Second and not the First World War, before I read John Keegan's book my only knowledge of the whole affair was limited. Although I had heard of names such as the Somme and Ypres and the great suffering that occurred there, I knew little else. Keegan's book has enabled me to increase my knowledge of this era ten fold.
Though, quite often books on war can be dry, Keegan's style of prose makes the book flow more like a novel, while still maintaining the correct tone for such an horrific passage in History, thus making this an ideal book, for those, who like me want to gain a greater insight into the War. The greatest achievement of the book though, is its objectivity. Keegan avoids, and rightly so, laying the blame with any one nation and instead focus on the war itself.
An excellent book that I would reccommend to anyone.

An enlightening book on some aspects of the Great War is Correlli Barnett, The Swordbearers: Supreme Command in the First World War. A study of Moltke, Jellicoe, P�tain and Ludendorff. Beautifully written, it considers tactics and strategy as well as engaging cultural differences between the combatants as these affected the war

This washer is less than a year old and it randomly eats or burns holes in our clothes. I wash about 3 to 4 loads a week and it has destroyed probably at least one item a week since I have owned it. Today was the last straw and I went and purchased a samsung washer to replace it when it ate my daughter's brand new swimsuit she wore once. They have already been out once and replaced the rubber seal but it started again almost immediately. I bought this washer because of the small load option but have regretted this purchase almost from the beginning. I replaced a frigidare front load washer that lasted us twelve years with absolutely no issues and would still have if the bearing had not gone out and would have cost more to repair than new one. Almost wish I would have taken that avenue now. Hopefully the samsung will be a better option. But I absolutely hate this whirlpool!!

Comments about Whirlpool Duet WFW9150WW White Front Load Washer:
Front load washers are nice and convenient but HIGH MAINTENANCE. If you don't do your homework first - buyer beware. There was cycles are LONGER than a top load - which I didn't know, they will stink if you don't take care of them and so will your clothes. This is the only model that I have experience with and I do not think there are enough features/wash cycles.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Waffles
from Chicago, IL, United States
This washer is horrible. I am having the front gasket replaced for the 4th time. We are finally going to get a new washer. It tears clothing up and has mysterious holes in the front seal appear allowing water to drain out onto the floor. Worst washer ever!!!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Eats my clothes
By SLLi
from Ohio
I hate this washer. My clothes get stuck in it all time no matter how careful I am and they get torn and also tare the gasket. I have blown through my warranty limit a year before it was up. It does not self level loads so if they are slightly off balance it sounds like someone is banging a hammer inside the washer. I strongly recommend that you do not purchase this washer.
front loader
By alice26
from Lee, Mass, United States
very quiet. uses little water. Cleans well. The only negative is that it does not have a separate spin cycle. I tried to wash a bathroom rug. It did not spin out in the normal cycle. I put it through rinse and spin and still was sopping wet. Had to take it to my sisters maytag and it spun out fine

Torn clothes
By Simply D
from San Jose, CA, United States
I bought this washer in 2010 after I moved into my new house, the washer worked fine for the first couple of years, and then it started to put holes in my clothes. It's crazy how many pieces of clothing it has destroyed in the past year until we realized that there is a tear on the rubber seal that is making clothes getting caught when they are being washed. I come to know this is a known problem with the model, and it is just crazy how much cloth i lost due to this problem.. In any case, I will never buy a Whirlpool again.
Great features

I bought this couple months ago and love everything about it.
great features and easy to operate
By dannyray7140
from Festus, MO, United States
i was skeptical at first, hearing rumors of negative responses from other owners. but i love the decision i made to purchase my set. it cleans well uses a lot less water. and can hold up to our steady circulation of laundry. i will always recommend a whirlpool washer and dryer.
Great washer, excellent buy
By Nadine57
from Pennsylvania
I upgraded from a very old, well used washer. I love that it is efficient, but quiet. Only negative I have found (and easily fixed) is the bending over to load and unload.

I loved the balance between theory and practice, you need both when you go out there in the business world. Practice grounded in theory allows you to be confident in front of a group, and a client, and to anchor the activities and techniques you use into solid knowledge.
My life has flourished in all respects: when you learn to turn challenges into opportunities, you start looking at the world and at other people in a new way, increasing your success and personal fulfillment in life.- Laura
I was attracted to this Master Program because of the solid academic roots of the Creative Problem Solving approach and because of all the good program references I heard.
The activity-based approach between students and with professors stimulated me to expand my professional focus on creativity in a very enriching way. The program made me grow as a solid master in creativity and change.- Erik
The content of the Master's program was concrete and useful and I appreciated it even more over the years. Thanks to this program I have developed a creative mindset which allows me to think up ever new visions when required.
Today this is my daily job: I am passionate about supporting people and organizations that want to develop creativity to evolve.- Luciano
The program provided me with very important life skills of creativity that can be applied in any situation where new thinking and new perspectives are relevant, and that is almost anywhere.
The program also taught me that "failure" is also part of the creative process as it helps you to figure out what works and what does not.- Florian

Brian Butterfield has been hired as third-base coach for the Boston Red Sox, the same position he held under new Red Sox manager John Farrell the past two years with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox made the announcement on Tuesday. He is the second former Toronto coach coming to Boston. The team previously announced that Torey Lovullo would be the bench coach after serving as first-base coach under Farrell. Butterfield, 54, has coached for 16 years in the majors as part of his 34 years of pro baseball experience as a player, coach and minor-league manager. He was with Toronto for the past 11 years, serving as bench coach in 2008 and 2009.

Food security lost on UP farmers, loan waiver only a fond memory
says Jay Prasad Singh, a Thakur at Laluhi village in Bahraich.
If it was the party that secured its candidates' victories last time, the current candidates will need to fall back on local caste arithmetic. "Last time, people voted not for candidate Vinnu Pandey but for the Congress because of its loan waiver scheme," says Lalmani Pandey of Rampur-Pandeypurva in Shrawasti. He says he will not vote for the Congress's Brahmin candidate, whom he sees as weaker than the BJP's Brahmin opponent.
Even Muslim beneficiaries of that scheme are weighing their options as they seek to identify who is best placed to defeat the BJP candidates. "Last time, I had voted for the Congress because of the loan waiver," Mohammed Ibrahim of Faizabad's Haleem Nagar echoes many others elsewhere. "This time it is a toss-up between the Congress and the SP depending on who is ahead."
Not only has general goodwill for the Congress waned but farmers also seem influenced by a general impression that the party has gone out of the race. This has set the stage for them returning to their traditional voting ways. "I will vote for the BSP's Lalji Verma because if I vote for any other party or candidate, no one will believe it," says Tej Narain Verma of Kakandhu village in Shrawasti who, too, claims he voted Congress last time. The BSP candidate is a Kurmi like he is. That is also the reason why Kurmi villagers in Gonda are still rooting for Verma.
About the SP government's selective loan waiver scheme, Khateeb Ansari of Beria village in Bahraich constituency says, "The Congress debt waiver created a wave in favour of the party across villages, but the SP scheme has not had a similar effect as it does not cover all scheduled commercial banks' farm loans. It has benefited the very few who took loans from the government's Land Development Bank."

ink marker?.
this question made me laugh
I think it's illegal in 3 states to answer this question.
You can't do that ... just wait, you're still growing.
You need a partner who is willing to suckle you every 4 t0n 5 hours for 15 ton20 minutes at a time. Feeding is a full time commitment just as it would be if you had a new born child to feed. It is not something you can induce quickly it takes time and dedication. However the reward for your perseverance is well worth it. An ANR relationship is one of the closest relationship you can have. Even if you do not produce much/or any milk the act of trying is the most wonderful experience.
vacuum ?
Why would you want to do that. have you seen the professor in scary movie 2 is that what you really want?

In the end , no one will come to Israels defense ,if Israel starts losing wars. Israel must depend more on itself. They talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
It is almost 30 years since Menachem Begin gave his now famous reply to the administration in Washington, which threatened Israel with punishment over the Knesset's passage of the bill applying Israeli law and administration to the Golan Heights: "Are we a vassal state of yours? Are we a banana republic?" For many years, Israeli governments have insisted on maintaining a position of proud independence to friend and foe alike. Everyone should know that we are not a banana republic.
Interestingly enough, just as Israel repeatedly defeated its enemies and grew in strength militarily and economically, it began the slide toward behaving as a vassal of the United States. Ten years ago, under pressure from Washington, Israel canceled a large contract for the supply of Phalcon airborne warning and control aircraft to China. The contract had been duly signed, a large down payment had been made, and Chinese president Jiang Zemin, on a visit to Israel, had been assured that the aircraft would be delivered. But shortly after he returned to China the contract was peremptorily canceled under pressure from Washington.
It was a blow to the close relationship that had developed between Israel and China, and the Chinese leadership, wise to the ways of the world, concluded that Israel was not really independent.
But with Benjamin Netanyahu's second government and Barack Obama's entry into the White House, things have gone from bad to worse. After Obama's Cairo speech, Netanyahu announced, despite his pre-election platform, that he favored the establishment of a Palestinian state. This was followed by the government's decision, contrary to pre-election promises, to freeze construction in Judea and Samaria for 10 months. The humiliation of Netanyahu during his visit to the White House resulted in a decision effectively freezing construction in parts of Jerusalem.
And now after the interception by the Israel Navy of the flotilla of boats that tried to break the blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza, the Israeli government, under pressure from the White House, established an investigative committee including international observers. The composition of the committee was not announced until it had been approved by Washington. That set a record for Israeli subservience to Washington. One wonders what will come next.
Not that one should deal lightly with the subject of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. It is an important component of Israel's strategic posture. At least some of Israel's deterrent capability rests on the assumption that the United States would support Israel in any conflict with its enemies.
Therefore the question needs to be addressed: Does Israeli subservience to the United States really strengthen that relationship? After all, that relationship has been built up over many years on a foundation of common ideals, values and common interests. A relationship that has stood the test of time and many differences of opinion over the years, and that has been beneficial to both nations.
Now that the Obama administration has decided to raise the profile of the differences of opinion that existed for many years, Israel giving in to Washington's demands may momentarily assuage tempers in Washington. But the emphasis is on momentarily. Additional demands will be coming, and if they are not accommodated the situation may worsen. In Jonathan Alter's book "The Promise" on Obama's first year in the White House, Obama is quoted as saying: "I know how to handle Netanyahu." And after a year of dealing with him, Obama probably gives himself a good score on this subject.
Has the government's policy of giving in to Washington's demands strengthened the relationship between the two nations? It certainly does not seem that way at the moment. And what if the Israeli government had stuck by its positions - would that have resulted in a crisis? Or by sticking to its principles when vital Israeli interests were at stake, would the Israeli leadership have gained respect in Washington? The jury is still out on this question.
But it is clear that Israeli subservience to American demands does not strengthen Israel's image in the eyes of its enemies and in the capitals of Europe and Asia. The net result of this Israeli policy in recent years is negative. Add to that, and not least important, how Israelis feel about themselves in light of this subservience. After having attained independence at great sacrifice, and having gotten used to a democratically elected leadership determining the nation's course of action, it is a blow to our self-esteem to see our leaders obeying orders that come from abroad.

Who Will Work With von Trier?
The director has survived accusations of anti-Americanism and misogyny, but his Nazi comments could finally sink his career.
As they say in the old country, Oy vey, gevalt!" said the British publicist for Melancholia, succinctly capturing the exasperation everyone connected to Lars von Trier's latest film feels after the Danish director's now-infamous comments at the Cannes Film Festival, in which he jokingly called himself a Nazi and said he "sympathized with Hitler, a little bit."
The quips set off a firestorm that led to Cannes officials banning von Trier from the festival, though his film remained in Competition and won Kirsten Dunst the best actress trophy. The Anti-Defamation League condemned him, and Melancholia's Argentine distributor said it would not release the film.
Von Trier has based his career on shocking both audiences and the press. But European cinema's favorite enfant terrible might have finally gone too far.
"I know it will be harder now to get financing and to get the actors I want," von Trier admits to THR.
The director has always been able to attract A-listers to his difficult, often disturbing films; actors are drawn to his ability to eke out powerful performances. Von Trier has cleverly cast the likes of Nicole Kidman (Dogville), Willem Dafoe (Antichrist) and Dunst to give his pictures wider appeal and to secure bigger budgets.
But it's doubtful whether stars will risk being linked to von Trier in the immediate future. The director says emphatically that he "is definitely not Mel Gibson" and denies accusations of anti-Semitism. But the taint remains.
So far, many of von Trier's business partners are sticking by him. Melancholia's distributors in the U.K., France and Germany have no plans to drop the film.
"You have to separate what Lars said from the movie, which we think is one of the great works of European cinema," says Markus Zimmer, managing director at Melancholia's German distributor, Concorde. "His comments are just Lars being Lars. He loves being the agent provocateur. But the film is not offensive at all."
U.S. distributor Magnolia -- which, in addition to Melancholia, picked up von Trier's next project, a collaboration with Martin Scorsese, just hours before the fateful Nazi remarks -- has declined comment. Scorsese reps did not respond to requests for comment.
Von Trier, at least, isn't worried about his career.
"It's a pity about the damage this has done to the film and a pity if it has hurt the Cannes Film Festival at all," he says. "But as a filmmaker, I thrive on obstacles. If the obstacle now is I can't raise as much money and I can't go to Cannes, maybe that'll be a good thing for my movies."

Robynn Smith at MichaelAngelo's
On wood and on paper, the recent works of Robynn Smith at MichaelAngelo Gallery express with eloquence and passion the sturm und drang shared this moment throughout the world. While the earth cracks and waters heave and the oppressed rise up and monsters aim guns at children and freaks clamber over each other for an antidote to radioactive clouds an ocean away, Smith finds eddies in the grain of wood and draws a tree root pushing into the air, stretching out as if to find a clean spot for life. This body of work is neither sudden nor impulsive, but, just like the inequities and abominations it alludes to, it has been years in development, and getting darker.

Neve Gordon: Zionist History: A Short Quiz
Be'er-Sheva, Israel - Not long after Israel celebrated its 64th Independence Day on April 26, a friend prepared a quiz of sorts. She read out loud political quotes to about ten guests who were having dinner at my house, and asked us to identify the politician who had uttered each statement.
Truth be told, none of my guests did very well on the quiz, but I thought that readers acquainted with Zionist history might do better and would be able to identify the source of each of the following statements. There is only one rule to this game: all search engines, including Google, are off limits.
- "Does a bad law become a good one just because Jews apply it? I say that this law is bad from its very foundation and does not become good because it is practiced by Jews ... We oppose administrative detention in principle. There is no place for such detention."
- "We do not accept the semi-official view ... wherein the state grants rights and is entitled to rescind them. We believe that there are human rights that precede the human form of life called a state."
My friend's quiz managed to expose just how far right Israeli politics, as well as the public discourse informing it, have shifted over the years; so much so that, within the current political climate, declarations once uttered by former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who passed away 20 years ago, can now only be reiterated by leftists....

Rising tension: Decreased Medicare coverage has subdued industry growth
The TENS Machine Manufacturing market research report provides key industry analysis and industry statistics, measures market size, analyzes current and future industry trends and shows market share for the industry's largest companies. IBISWorld publishes the largest collection of industry reports so you can see an industry's supply chain, economic drivers and key buyers and markets.
This industry manufactures transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices. These machines provide electric currents to the nerves to stimulate them for therapeutic purposes, mainly for pain relief. Prior to 2012, industry firms enxperienced robust growth, as the expanding elderly population provided a growing market for industry devices. However, a 2012 Medicare decision to eliminate coverage of industry devices prescribed for chronic lower back pain dealt a severe blow to the industry. Going forward, the industry will likely suffer due to both the continued imposition of a 2.3% medical device excise tax and the industry's increased spending on wages, as companies scramble to create cutting-edge devices to compete with low-cost imports.... purchase to read more
Over the 10 years to 2020, industry value added, which measures an industry's contribution to GDP, is expected to grow roughly in line with overall economic growth as measured by US gross domestic product (GDP). Industry value added is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 2.4% over the 10-year period, compared with expected average GDP growth of 2.5%. Although these figures are roughly equal, the TENS Machine Manufacturing industry is growing slightly more slowly than the economy, indicating that this industry may be in a declining stage of its life cycle. Moreover, the majority of this 2.4% growth is driven by the period prior to the Medicare restrictions of 2012, and these years are not indicative of the majority of the ten-year period to 2020... purchase to read more
