This invention relates to catalytic converters for the exhaust of internal combustion engines. More specifically, this invention pertains to a catalytic converter suitable for heavy-duty diesel engine use, and a unique method of cleaning the accumulated carbon build-up.
Recent, more stringent government regulation of heavy duty diesel engine tailpipe emissions has required new means to reduce these emissions. These regulations cover both new vehicles and existing vehicles. The two most common emissions control devices are the catalytic converter and the carbon particulate trap. Both devices contain and utilize a honeycomb monolith as the active component.
Internally, catalytic converters contain a channeled, ceramic monolith, through which the exhaust gas passes. Viewed from the entrance port, the ceramic monolith resembles a honeycomb structure and may have as many as 400 entrance cells (channels) per square inch. The surface area along the length of these channels is carefully impregnated with precious metals and is extremely porous to increase contact surface area. The precious metals create a catalytic reaction when combined with heat, excess oxygen and noxious exhaust gasses. The catalytic reaction converts unburned hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen into non-toxic carbon dioxide and water. In addition to creating a catalytic reaction with exhaust gasses, catalytic converters also collect carbon particulate matter (black soot). Catalytic converters create heat during the catalytic reaction that can burn a portion of carbon particulate matter as the exhaust passes through the monolith structure.
Particulate traps are similar to catalysts, as they both use a ceramic monolith as the basic component, but traps are designed only to collect carbon particulate matter in diesel exhaust. Typically, the exhaust channels along the surface of the trap monolith are configured with carefully designed obstructions. This special ceramic monolith surface collects a high percentage of suspended carbon particles and quickly coats with black soot. Trap-type ceramic monoliths have additionally been coated with precious metals, which may only temporarily behave as a reduction catalyst as they quickly become coated with carbon material and need to be cleaned. To this point, however, no device or system has been presented which performs primarily as a reduction catalyst for heavy-duty diesel engine exhaust.
Prior on-board, self-cleaning carbon traps, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,544,388, quickly become filled with particulate matter and need to be routinely regenerated (cleaned) to maintain a level of efficiency. Heretofore, cleaning has required complicated and expensive on-board systems contributing to both complexity and cost. To regenerate a trap device, intense heat must be applied to initiate the ignition and chain reaction combustion of the accumulated carbon. The most common and practical heating methods use on-board electric resistance heaters as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,516,993. Unfortunately, there is a high electric current requirement to produce sufficient heat to start the regeneration process. This amount of power is not readily available on motor vehicles and, typically, this power deficiency requires complex means to sequence, control or ration electrical consumption. In addition, these on-board systems require the engines to be running to utilize some part of the vehicle exhaust.
Another problem is that after ignition, during regeneration, prior art devices depend upon burning particulate on the surface of the ceramic monolith to generate additional heat to carry out the process fully. There is a high likelihood of overheating during this chain reaction which can cause damage to the monolith. Also, complete regeneration must be attained by a single ignition because there is no provision for re-ignition after regeneration has begun. Furthermore, exhaust bypass valves and separate means to bring oxygen-rich air into the process are required. Due to the complexity and cost associated with this approach, it tends to be problematic and not cost effective for retrofit application.
Other prior devices locate electric resistance heaters in close proximity or directly attached to the surface of the monolith as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,456,457. Application of heat to specific locations on the monolith face will provide particulate ignition points at desirable multiple points across the face and then down its length. This type of system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,331,454 in which a short initial burst or sequence of short bursts of heat light off the face on specific points in the catalyst. This is done with the engine running. In other prior art systems, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,686,827, after initial carbon light-off, re-combustion continues to burn without any further assistance from a heater. Hence, the carbon tends to burn hot and fast without direct control, while migrating around and along the catalyst. To protect against overheating, elaborate heat defusers have been used to protect the ceramic monolith from intense radiant heat from electric heat elements. In addition, deflectors as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,276,066 have been used to carefully aim the heat in an attempt to create a burn pattern least likely to result in overheating the monolith. The above-mentioned patents represent the closest prior art of which the applicant is aware.
Reducing diesel engine emissions with catalytic converters and particulate traps is well established, however, clogging and cleaning difficulties due to collection of carbon particles on the monolith have prevented the wide use of carbon traps and, in particular, prevented use of emission-reduction catalytic converters with heavy-duty diesel engines. Although self-cleaning particulate traps have been tried, no prior device is known which successfully cleans the particulate build-up on Catalytic converters of diesel engine exhaust. No device is known that will regenerate the ceramic monolith structures of catalysts or traps from a central service point utilizing heated air as the igniter, controlled from an external source without assistance from the motor.
There is therefore a need in the internal combustion exhaust emission arts for cleaning a diesel engine exhaust filtration system to reduce emissions which: is not limited by available vehicle power; is inexpensive to produce, install and operate; will not overheat or produce any undesirable side effects during operation; and can inexpensively clean an exhaust catalyst or trap through complete regeneration at maintenance intervals as desired.
The major components of the present invention are a catalytic converter and an off-board cleaning device. The reduction catalyst (catalytic converter) reduces hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen of the diesel internal combustion engine exhaust. This reduction catalyst has a honeycomb-type structure and will burn off, capture and collect carbon particulate from the exhaust gas stream. The reduction catalyst component of this invention is primarily a HC, CO and NOX reduction catalyst. During use, the internal ceramic monolith component will slowly collect carbon particulate matter and ultimately clog. Eventually, this progression will cause undesirable exhaust back pressure, loss of power, loss of catalyst efficiency, and cleaning will then be required. However, the present invention easily provides the necessary cleaning.
The invention utilizes a mobile off-board regeneration apparatus that can provide a centralized regeneration station for many vehicles. The main components of the off-board apparatus (hereinafter called "console") are contained in a wheeled cart with attachments that include an air heater, vacuum and positive-pressure air pumps with attaching hoses, a temperature-actuated relay, a particulate filter, process timers, a heat exchanger, a cooling fan, and other electrical components needed to perform the regeneration process.
The present invention provides a unique push-pull heat channeling method of transferring heat to and through the ceramic monolith with a flow of super-heated air. The application of heat is controlled by pulling air away from the downstream side of the monolith through a vacuum hose. By creating a negative pressure to induce the hot airflow through the monolith, less positive pressure needs to be applied upstream of the monolith, thus reducing overheating in that area. The regeneration process is started and completely controlled by the mobile regeneration console with the engine off. Because this device does not rely on any engine exhaust heat or flow to complete the process, the re-combustion air is beneficially oxygen-rich. The engine exhaust pipe upstream of the monolith is left unobstructed during regeneration, without requiring a close off valve.
The use of an off-board heat source reduces present per catalyst or per trap unit costs that would be required to fit every vehicle with an elaborate heat source, bypass systems and other related equipment and replaces them with a single mobile heat console capable of meeting the regenerating needs of up to thirty vehicles. Thus, it completely eliminates all active on-board systems and any restrictions imposed by them. Depending upon vehicle driving patterns, catalyst regeneration intervals can be spaced to several hundred hours of vehicle operation.
The present invention solves the problems associated with available electric power, heat source, heat distribution and carbon burn rate regulation experienced with other catalysts and traps during regeneration. Furthermore, this invention permits the temperature of the regeneration air to be completely controlled without complicated and expensive heat source deflectors or defusers. There are no uncontrolled local overheating effects which can be caused by unobstructed radiant heat from resistance-heating elements. This new system has no on-board power limitations and directs heat at multiple points on the ceramic monolith simultaneously. In addition, the entire monolith structure can be gradually ramped up to full temperature 1200� F. without the aid of combusting carbon.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side diagrammatic view of the catalytic converter of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a top, front right isometric view of the off-board regeneration console, which forms a part of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an electrical diagram of the regeneration console components.
FIG. 4 depicts mechanical diagrams of the regeneration console air handling components.
FIG. 5 shows views of the hot air channeling tube.
The catalyst of the present invention is fitted with specific components which are required for regeneration that have not heretofore been used on diesel exhaust reduction catalysts. Referring to FIG. 1, the catalytic converter of the invention includes: super-heated air intake port 5, internal regeneration air channeling tube 6, a temperature sensor 7, a vacuum probe 23, and a vacuum port 10. These structures are added to a conventional catalytic converter which includes casing 9 that surrounds a ceramic monolith 8. The entrance to the casing is attached to a diesel engine exhaust pipe 2, and a tailpipe 4 is fitted to the downstream exit. Differential pressure sensor ports 38 located upstream and downstream of the monolith are attached by connecting lines 58 to pressure sensing means which determine when the monolith requires cleaning. The vacuum hose 15 is an insulated flexible steel tube which attaches to a vacuum port 10 of the catalyst case 9 through tube 49. During regeneration, the heat supply module 1 is attached to intake port 5 on the catalyst casing and delivers super-heated air 60 through a hose 3 under low pressure which flows out exit holes in the channeling tube 6 located just upstream of the catalyst. The heated air directly impacts the monolith at multiple points on the face of the monolith 8. Details of the channeling tube are more clearly depicted in FIG. 5.
Referring now also to FIG. 2, super-heated air is provided and controlled by a regeneration heater console 29 which may be either a mobile or stationary. The heat supply module 1 is a hand-held device which is affixed to the end of the air delivery hose 43. The heat source within the heat module 1 is an electric resistance air heater. Simultaneously, a vacuum pump housed in the console draws a vacuum on the downstream chamber area of the catalyst via the vacuum hose 15 and vacuum port 10 through vacuum probe 23 within the catalyst casing 9. Both hoses 15, 43 are attached to the casing by quick disconnect fittings. Sufficient vacuum is applied by the vacuum pump to draw a maximum of about seven cubic feet per minute of 1200� F. heated air through the monolith. After the recombustion air ignites the carbon, the air and combustion byproducts exit the catalyst outlet port and are drawn through the vacuum hose 15 to a filter and cooling heat exchanger within the console 29 before being vented to atmosphere through vent 32. The console includes function indicator lights 25 and 27. The console also houses temperature-actuated relay, process timers and, heat exchanger, cooling fan, and other electrical components shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 needed to perform the regeneration process. This console independently provides the delivery, monitoring, application and extraction of oxygen-rich, superheated, re-combustion air.
The air-handling systems within the console are diagrammatically depicted in FIG. 4 which shows the individual diagrams for both the positive-pressure hot air and vacuum exhaust air circuits. Ambient air 59 is drawn into the air delivery circuit by pump 42 which provides the flow of air through delivery hose 43. Shut-off valve 40 is positioned just downstream of pump 42. Air delivered through line 43 is provided to the heat module 1. A heating element within the heat module raises the temperature of the airflow to provide a low-pressure stream of super-heated air 60. The vacuum components draw a flow of air 46 through vacuum hose 15 which is connected to the catalyst casing as described above. Cooling fan 17 and coil or heat exchanger 16 remove heat from the vacuum airflow just upstream of its entry into filter 18 before passing through vacuum pump means 20 which then exhausts the airflow 47 to the atmosphere.
Referring again to FIG. 1, this push-pull method ensures that the hot air provided through the channeling tube 6 will travel through the monolith 8, rather than escaping upstream of the catalyst. This eliminates the need to have the engine running or for exhaust pipe bypass valves. The push-pull operation causes a slight high pressure area 44 just upstream of the catalyst and the slight vacuum in the area 45 of the downstream chamber side of the catalyst. The amount of vacuum is selected to provide a total hot airflow rate through the monolith which is equal to the total incoming hot airflow rate. The total flow rate out of the regeneration exhaust port will be higher, as it includes the added volume of dilution air from the downstream tailpipe 4. This system creates a positive flow of super hot air only in the catalyst area and eliminates the need to block the openings and exit to the catalyst during regeneration. If a lower vacuum and increased control is desired, a tailpipe flap valve 52 may be provided and closed to reduce downstream tailpipe dilution air during regeneration.
As depicted in FIG. 3, the internal monolith temperature sensor is coupled to a console controller to regulate the amount of heat delivered to the monolith. Because the heating element is regulated by the controller and it is sufficiently removed from the heat impact points on the monolith, no radiant heat is applied. This prevents undesirable hot spots which will occur when a radiant heat source is located too close to any surface on the monolith structure. Hot spots can cause local overheating and premature ignition in an undesirable pattern throughout the monolith.
The problem with overheating is solved by the present invention because the present process is one of slowly baking, rather than quickly combusting the carbon particulate. The amount of heated combustion air from the console is unlimited, controllable, and delivered in a manner as to support complete, slow, steady combustion. There is no reliance on additional heat generated by the combusting materials to propagate combustion. Also, since only a small volume of heated re-combustion air enters chamber 44 (see FIG. 1) upstream of the catalyst (approximately 7 cfm), only a volume of regeneration air which directly relates to the number and degree of open chambers within the catalyst (degree of clog) can be drawn into the chambers of the ceramic monolith. This throttles the burn rate and self-meters only enough hot air through the monolith that the process can safely use. The inlet air temperature is regulated to 1200� F., which will be achieved in all parts of the catalyst after about seven minutes. The catalyst can be restored to full efficiency in less than ten minutes.
Referring now to FIG. 5, greater detail of the channeling tube 6 is shown. The tube is provided with a vertical array of airflow holes 50 which are directed toward the monolith when the tube is installed into the casing. As also shown in FIG. 1, fitting 36 secures the tube to the inside of the casing just upstream of the monolith, extending the channeling tube transversally across the center of the casing. Air holes 50 are graduated in size from larger to smaller, top to bottom, as shown in this figure. The size and location of air holes directs the super-heated air at many points across the face of the monolith.
A unique feature of this invention is its ability to completely clean a catalyst which is only marginally clogged with carbon. A marginally-coated condition is more typical of a catalyst as compared to a heavily-coated particulate trap. A lightly-coated ceramic monolith, whether catalyst or trap, is not conducive to the self-sustaining combustion technique required by all other electric heater regeneration systems. This new regeneration system has the ability to bring the entire monolith structure up to a temperature of 1200� F. without the aid of spontaneous carbon combustion or exhaust gas, regardless of the degree of particulate loading. This is an important feature if regeneration is to occur as scheduled maintenance, regardless of the degree of clogging.
First, the heat module and vacuum hoses from the console of FIG. 2 are attached to their respective ports on the catalyst casing as shown in FIG. 1. Next, the tailpipe valve (optional) is closed, and the air pumps and heat module are activated. With regard to FIG. 4, the air pumps create a flow of super-heated air into and out of the catalyst casing. Referring to FIG. 4, the exhaust gas from the regeneration process is extracted from the exit port, passed down the vacuum tube 15, through a filter element 18 and a heat exchanger 16 before final exhaust 47 to the atmosphere. The regeneration exhaust heat exchanger 16 lowers the temperature of exhausting gas before it passes through the vacuum pump 20. The filter element protects the regeneration console operator from unburned suspended carbon particles which are known to be harmful.
During startup of the regeneration process, heat losses from the channeling tube and attaching hardware on the catalyst casing are soon overcome and the incoming regeneration air temperature builds at the leading face of the ceramic monolith where it impacts and lights the carbon. The small flow of air travels down the chambers raising the temperature and igniting accumulated carbon particles along the way. High temperatures gradually develop first at the face, then throughout the entire monolith. This ensures complete combustion of all carbon material. Depending upon the degree of carbon loading, the carbon may actively support combustion or slowly bake as temperatures approach 1200� F.
As shown in FIG. 1, a temperature sensor 7 is located midway along the length of the ceramic monolith 8 in the area of the central core. This sensor reports temperature to the regeneration console controller shown in FIG. 3. If the temperature is too high, the flow of re-combustion air and vacuum is stopped and an air shut-off valve 40 as shown in FIG. 4 is closed. The shut-off valve is positioned just downstream of pump 42 to cut off the air supply to the air delivery hose 43. As the temperature falls within acceptable limits, the valve will re-open and heat and air will once again be reintroduced. This allows the re-combustion rate to be retarded or stopped at any point during the process if ceramic overheating is sensed. It can then be restarted when the temperature sensor indicates a lower acceptable temperature. Thus, the shut-off valve further protects against overheating the central core of the monolith.
The timers depicted in FIG. 3 provide heat and airflow for approximately seven minutes, at which point monolith temperatures will have reached a uniform 1200� F. At this point, the power to the heater is interrupted by the heater timer; however, the pump timer continues operation of the vacuum pump 20 and delivery air pump 42, and airflow continues through the catalyst for approximately two additional minutes. This cools the heat module and intake hardware. When all the carbon has burned off, the catalyst is fully regenerated. After this is completed, the heat module, vacuum hose and temperature sensor are removed. Then, caps are placed on the catalyst regeneration ports, the tailpipe is open, and the process is complete.
This invention is not only novel in the approach to existing trap regeneration problems, but it also provides a plausible mechanism to utilize catalytic reduction converters with diesel exhaust, while still maintaining long term durability and reduction efficiency. This is achieved at low cost, which will allow wide usage in retrofit applications. In light of the immediate need to reduce emissions from existing diesel vehicles, this is particularly important when considering diesel-powered trucks and busses that tend to be rebuilt several times over and remain in operation for longer periods. The overwhelming percentage of existing diesel-powered, heavy-duty vehicles will still be operating for another seven to ten years. These "in use" vehicles will not be affected by new equipment emissions technology.
It should be understood that the above description discloses specific embodiments of the present invention and are for purposes of illustration only. There may be other modifications and changes obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art which fall within the scope of the present invention which should be limited only by the following claims and their legal equivalents.

In the current issue of the Scene, Matt Fox wrote a Critics' Pick about the upcoming Video Games Live show at the Schermerhorn. Meanwhile, John Pitcher had an opportunity to speak with video game composer and VGL co-founder Tommy Tallarico:
We're talking, of course, about Video Games Live, a popular program that the Nashville Symphony and Chorus will present at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 4 at the Schermerhorn. The show is essentially a Wagnerian Bayreuth Festival for the digital age, one that replaces Nibelung dwarfs with orcs, trolls and, yeah, preternatural plumbers.
"This show features the sort of rich orchestral sound that you might hear at the opera, and adds to it the energy and visual effects of a rock concert," says Tommy Tallarico, a guitarist and video game composer who co-founded the popular touring show in 2002.
If anything, Video Games Live shows how far arcade music has come since the early 1980s, when Pac-Man first went on his familiar feeding frenzies accompanied by little more than the sound of electronic blips and bleeps. Tuesday's concert will feature an ensemble of Mahlerian proportions, with the full Nashville Symphony and Chorus performing, while scenes from such games as World of Warcraft, Zelda and Mario Bros. are projected onto a giant screen.
"Video games were combining the sort of lush orchestral music and stunning visual effects you see in Warcraft long before you saw it in movies like Avatar," says Tallarico.
Born in 1968 in Springfield, Mass., Tallarico grew up in a musical family — his older cousin is Steven Victor Tallarico, aka Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Tallarico was just as enamored with rock as his cousin, but unlike Aerosmith's lead singer, the younger Tallarico came of age just as video games and Star Wars were hitting the market.
"I was totally into rock guitar, but after I saw Star Wars I went down to the library and started looking up everything I could find about this composer named John Williams," says Tallarico. "I was suddenly hooked on orchestra music."
Eventually, Tallarico combined his interests in music and movie effects, becoming a video composer. Since the mid-'90s, he's provided music to more than 250 games, including Earthworm Jim, Pac-Man World and Prince of Persia.
Next Tuesday's concert will take place in a festive environment. There will be a costume and Guitar Hero contest in the Schermerhorn lobby before the performance. The Guitar Hero winner will get to perform with Tallarico and the Nashville Symphony.
"I've had lots of parents thank me for finally getting their kids to go to a symphony concert," says Tallarico. "That's been my greatest satisfaction."

Concept: Cloudsurge Cephalopod
The Cloudsurge Cephalopod lives on planets that have denser atmosphere. They stay afloat with gas filled sacs protected by a lightweight, but sturdy shell that also protects their innards. They generally move about by sucking up air with their mouths and blowing it back out of a giant vent on the back of their head. While moving the Cloudsurge feed on small birds or anything that is sucked up and expels any indigestible food and waste through their vent hence the dirtiness of the clouds.

Concept: NorthWestern Blimp Squid
The NorthWestern Blimp Squid is an endangered species that lives in Northern Temperate regions. These colossal creatures travel in widespread pods above and in the cloud layer, feeding on birds and other floating creatures. The large dark spot on their backs attracts sunlight and stimulates the creation of crucial enzymes that allow them to float. Their means of flight is a lighter-than-air gas they create in their upper mantle, coupled with incredibly light body structure. Young can be seen flying around them, occasionally resting on their parent's backs. As they age, their skin pigment changes to a darker, gray color, and their skin cracks. Numerous have been injured and killed by aircraft strikes. Some can be seen with deep cuts on their outsides from wing strikes.

Concept: Acid Kephalópoda
This creatures are widely regarded as the most intelligent creatures of the sky. They fly really high producing poisonous gases. Chambers full of helium integrated in their bodies makes them float so high. They feed with birds flying near them but they eat everything else that comes in their way.

Concept: Aerial Cephalopod
(can also be read in the image)This creature can be found on many pathways of the migratory birds. In close range they are able to mess with the bird flock's navigational system, giving this squid looking creature an easy time sucking them into it's trunk. During rest they can often be seen laying on top of mountains like a sheet of snow.
Despite the huge size, the creature is extremely lightweight because of it's hollow structure. The filter system under it's body rapidly warms up the air so it can rise up into the huge balloon looking organ on the back

Reason: Almost made it, but overall the shape is not clear (especially the yellow/brown part is hard to read), and it lacks texture and detail.

Concept: Bellow Nautilus
The Bellow Nautilus propels itself along by exhaling through its 'funnel,' which is comprised of eight webbed arms. Because of this method of locomotion, it appears to rocket backwards.
Over millions of years its two tentacles have widened enough to serve a wings with which to glide.

Concept: Aerial Cephalopod
The Aerial Cephalopods live on a low gravity planet with a lot of Volcanic activity. The planet has very little land mass so the Cephalopods spend most of their time floating through the gaseous environment above the oceans. They use the volcanic gases and low gravity to their advantage when it comes to flight and maneuverability and will even hide amongst the gas clouds from Predators. In some emergency evasions, ( and sometimes for hunting ) they will contract the "balloon" membrane into a thin tentacle and plunge into the Ocean. Normally though, they will float close to the surface and quickly pluck unsuspecting prey from the waters. Due to very little energy expenditure they need little food and can goes days without eating. They are resistant to the extreme heat of the volcanic waters as are most of their aquatic prey and spend the early months of their lives in the water before developing their floatation membrane. They can grow to around 15 Meters in length from tip to tip and are thought to live for up to 30 years.

Concept: Bulaaari
The aerial cephalopods; the Bulaaari live at high altitudes on the planet Kaptana, which has an extremely low gravity pull. The low gravity combined with frequent and violent wind bursts, makes its light body float high above the clouds.
The rear tentacles are used to capture small pray, such as birds or other smaller cephalopods, for eating. It nurses its young until adulthood. Front tentacles are solely for social behavior, such as communication and caring for the young.
Bulaaari live in small heards of 5-6 animals.

But now that the race has been called for the Democrats, analysts in the US are worried about the impending "fiscal cliff" -- pending legislation that will trigger tax increases and spending cuts to balance the US budget deficit.How's India likely to react? Well, the bankers will be pleased."Equity markets always prefer status quo over confusion — a win for Mitt Romney could trigger confusion," reports the Times of India."Secondly, Romney has already announced that if he wins Ben Barnanke, the current chairman of US Federal Reserve, will have to go. This could put the entire Quantitative Easing 3 (QE3) plan into question. QE3 allows bond buying of up to $40 billion per month, which, in turn, ensures liquidity in the global financial system and gives foreign institutional investors (FIIs) enough leeway to invest in India and a host of other countries," the paper cited industry experts as saying."If Romney wins, liquidity will dry up because that will put a question mark on the continuation of QE3," the paper quoted Arun Kejriwal, director, KRIS, an investment advisory firm, as saying."A win for Obama is a positive for the capital market as that would ensure flow of [foreign institutional investors'] money into India."If that FII money does flow in, look for a jump in the Sensex -- which often tracks the flow of foreign cash. The benchmark index was up 100 points, or half a percent, in early trading on Wednesday.

VIEWS: 13 PAGES: 36 CATEGORY: How To Guides POSTED ON: 11/15/2008 Public Domain
Skillset Film Skills Fund: Project & Evaluation Plan Completing the form: "How To" guide Just before you start to fill in this Project & Evaluation Plan Form, take a few minutes to read this guide carefully – it's here to help you. THE FOUR PARTS TO THIS EXCEL WORKBOOK As you'll see from the tabs (bottom left of your screen) this Excel Workbook document has four parts: this 'How To' guide; an Example plan; the blank Project & Evaluation Plan form; and a Participant Information sheet. This 'How To' guide We hope that this will tell you everything you need to know about completing your Project & Evaluation Plan Form. But if not, you're welcome to call us on the number below. Example Project & Evaluation Plan Before you start to fill anything in, have a look at the dummy example we've already prepared. It will give you a clear idea of what your own Project & Evaluation Plan should look like when it's completed. The Project & Evaluation Plan Form This is the form to complete once you've been offered a grant by Skillset. By answering each section fully, you'll be telling us how you will deliver, monitor and evaluate your project. After you've sent us the initial form, we'll also ask you to update it at the end of each quarter to give us a continual progress report. We work to a financial year, so the quarters run from: April to June; July to September; October to December; and January to March. The Participant Information Sheet This section of the form is for you to provide us with information that we need about the participants that go on your course or project. This would be completed once you have recruited all your participants but can usually be filled in when you submit your updated project and evaluation plan at the end of one of the quarters mentioned above. SOME NOTES ON FILLING IN THE FORM. The Project Details section In this section please tell us the name of your organisation, and the title of your project with its start and end-dates. We also need the dates of any courses you may be delivering, as well as their deadlines for applications. Please also tell us the number of participants on your project. Column 1: Activity Please use this column to highlight the key tasks you need to perform in order to make your project work. These will vary from project to project but, as you'll see in our Example form, they may include headings such as project management, marketing, recruitment and training. One task you will certainly 1 you'll see in our Example form, they may include headings such as project management, marketing, recruitment and training. One task you will certainly need to include is evaluation, and how you will gauge the success of your project. It is a condition of Skillset grants that every project we support is thoroughly evaluated. Column 2: Date for completion This column will tell us the timetable for the key tasks of your project, and what will be completed by when. Column 3: What will success look like? This column will explain the criteria for deciding when a task can be considered successfully completed. Naturally, these will vary according to the task itself: one column entry could simply be a target figure for the number of recruits you aim to sign up. Another might be more subjective – for example, that you aim to receive positive feedback from the participants in a workshop. Column 4: How will this be measured? This column is closely linked to Column 3 because it asks you to explain how you will measure 'What will success look like?'. So in the 'positive feedback' example above, you might choose to issue all your participants with a questionnaire on their views and experiences of the workshop. Column 5: Progress, including any unexpected results, updated quarterly. This is your progress report to Skillset, so when you first send in the form this column should be left blank. From then on, it should be updated at the end of every calendar quarter, detailing any progress – or problems – against the 'What will success look like?' column. If anything unexpected happens, detail that too. Participant Information Once you have recruited all the participants to your project please use this section of the form to tell us a few details about each of them. You can complete this section at the same time as you update the project and evaluation plan sheet at the end of one of the quarters during your project. The first 11 columns (from Course to Date of Birth) allow you to enter any text but the columns for diversity information (Gender to In which of the following regions does the participant live?) contain drop-down lists for you to choose and answer from. If you click any cell in these colums a small arrow will appear next to the cell. If you click on this arrow you will be able to choose the option which applies For example, the options for Gender are obviously either Male or Female.

The food is more creative than you might expect going in. Their gorgonzola salad with raspberries and walnuts is an inspired combination. The fresh pesto pizza is delicious. Service can be a little scattered but everyone is friendly and willing.
Pizza N Such is pleasant, friendly, clean, with good service and decent pizza, pasta, etc. It is pretty good sized. Portions are good. Everything one would expect from a good pizza in a college town. Nothing more.
Great family atmosphere in the middle of the Village. Generous portions and lots of toppings to choose from. Three of us meet often for lunch and share a large salad with extra olives with our pizza. Never disappointed. Look for coupons.
Went to pizza n stuff with a huge group and the staff were so accommodating. They made sure to take orders as everyone arrived and kept the service quick and drinks filled. We had the goat cheese pizza which and draft Hefeweizen which were both amazing. Definitely a place we would go back to again.
I have been here twice. I love the name, I love the BBQ chicken pizza, I love the old building with original antique crown molding details and floor. But, I don't love how long your food takes to get to you, waters and soda not refilled often or if at all, and some of the food items were a let...
We like the vegetarian thin crust pizza. Lots of options for toppings. We sometimes eat in and sometimes do takeout. It is reliably good food. Jane H. Claremont
Place is packed on Friday nights.
Three of us agreed that the kids pasta Alfredo was not good, and the garlic bread along side it, was off as well.
The "breakfast" pizza, on the other hand, surprisingly was great. Topped with egg and bacon, green onions... we all enjoyed it..and shared it.
My husband has me pick up a slice or two of pizza about twice a week . Great friendly service . The food is all Great !
They really do have good pizza, as well as the standard Italian dishes you would expect. Not fine dining , but for a quick meal it is a good place.
Nice atmosphere--pretty good crowd in the afternoon, but not packed. There are a variety of things on the menu besides pizza including salads and burgers. Our pizza was delicious. I snatched an onion ring from my sister-in-law--it was amazing. Next time I might order a platter of those and just call it a meal.

Sonata sales surged 27.5 percent from a year earlier, with numbers for the Santa Fe hitting 8,997 units for a 29.6 percent gain from April 2013. Sales of the company's Accent subcompact also jumped 36 percent to 6,419 vehicles in the key North American market.KMA said its sales hit 53,676 vehicles, with its boxy Soul multipurpose vehicle and Optima sedans having fueled growth.Sales of the new second-generation Soul reached 14,403 units, a gain of 27.3 percent from a year earlier, which is just shy of the 14,589 Optimas sold in the U.S. market.Reflecting such gains, U.S. industry data showed the combined sales of Hyundai and Kia in April surpassed those of Nissan. The two carmakers last beat Nissan in total sales in October.According to Automotive News, the South Korean carmakers sold 119,783 vehicles, placing them after GM, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler and Honda.The data showed market share by Hyundai and Kia reached 8.6 percent and expected numbers to increase in May with the new Genesis premium sedan reaching consumers across the country.<All rights reserved by Yonhap News Agency>

Marc-Andre Fleury gets a rare bit of rest
Feb 1, 2012, 10:09 PM EDT
To be honest, it can be a challenge to figure out where, exactly, Marc-Andre Fleury ranks among the NHL's best goalies.
To his strongest proponents, his consistent winning ways and Stanley Cup ring should be all that's needed to prove that he's among the cream of the crop. Others look at his solid-but-not-amazing stats* and occasional puckhandling gaffes and see a $5 million goalie propped up by a great system and timely scoring.
Fleury the workhorse
However you feel about "The Flower," let there be no doubt that the Penguins lean on him heavily. The National Post's Michael Traikos points out that Fleury appeared in 23 consecutive games coming into tonight. (Brent Johnson finally got the nod as the Penguins are on the tail-end of back-to-back games with the Toronto Maple Leafs.)
Johnson is the sort of veteran backup that can be an under-the-radar asset – as you may recall, he carried the load when Fleury had a slow start last season – but the Penguins seem fine with the fact that "MAF" is starting to approach the Miikka Kirpusoff neighborhood when it comes to his workload.
"I love to play," Fleury said. "I love to be in there and play in the game. But it's a long season if you make it to the playoffs and have a long playoff run."
More Johnson
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma explained that the schedule was previously conducive to a lot of starts for Fleury but admitted that the stretch run is likely to be quite different. Pittsburgh has five back-to-back sets remaining on its schedule and Bylsma indicates that Johnson should see action in a big chunk (if not all) of them.
The subtle importance of rest and good backups
That's a good big-picture view because the post-lockout NHL hasn't been too friendly to teams who use their No. 1 guys like the New Jersey once used Martin Brodeur (and seem primed to do, for questionable reasons).
I must admit that I roll my eyes when people use championship teams as the supposed "template" for future squads, but it is telling that the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks gave their talented No. 2 guys plenty of reps last season despite employing expensive starters. Johnson might not be a sexy goalie-of-the-future like Tuukka Rask or Cory Schneider, but the Penguins would be wise to let him ease some of Fleury's burden in the same way.
* – Fleury's .913 save percentage is respectable, but oft-criticized Washington Capitals goalie Tomas Vokoun is ahead of him by a bit with a .915 mark, for example.

MAF did not start 23 straight games. He appeared in 23 straight games as Johnson got pulled in his last 2 starts before tonight.
But Johnson looked good tonight so hopefully MAF can get more of a rest.

So good to see a real comment on a Pens post. Surreal almost.

- danphipps01 - Feb 2, 2012 at 1:11 AM
If memory serves, initiation is gained by making several dozen posts laden with homosexual innuendo and awkward, creepy attempts at roleplaying Pens players, yes? I mean, if the pattern set by your seven (eight? nine?) accounts is anything to go by…
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Feb 2, 2012 at 5:30 AM
I think we just witnessed a very dramatic and public week-long temper tantrum. Or maybe it was a flameout. Pun intended.
- James O'Brien - Feb 1, 2012 at 10:50 PM
Thanks for the clarification on that.
- murtdurt - Feb 2, 2012 at 2:23 AM
I don't know how MAF isn't considered cream of the crop? He's won more then 5 of the 6 goalies that went to the all star game and as great as the pens 'system' might be they would never have seen back to back cup finals without him
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Feb 2, 2012 at 4:44 AM
The All-Star Game is a hyped up popularity contest. It's kinda fun, but don't read too much into whose there. Fleury can be real good and he has been real good in the playoffs. He's also been more inconsistent than the goalies that are considered elite.
- kennypowersmfceo - Feb 2, 2012 at 6:36 AM
I would agree with you @murtdurt that MAF did play well in those two years…but you have to also remember who was playing in front of him….not a pens fan but…Gill, Orpik, Scuderi, Gonchar, Eaton and a young letang and goligoski to round it off…..makes it a little bit easier, wouldn't you agree?

iWebkit is written primarily to work with Chrome and Safari as far as I know. Now I am using the iwebkit in a website (for desktop screens), and I want it to be compatible with both Firefox and IE 9 (and older).
Now I found the webkit stylesheet for firefox, but I cannot get one for IE, and since IE CSS styling differs a lot from chrome and firefox, editing the firefox stylesheet for IE might just take a lot of time and effort( and also, there are some styles in the firefox webkit css file that are not supported by IE, such as border-image), so it is not that I'm just lazy.
So I would basically like to know if there is such a stylesheet for IE, and if not, customizing each of the firefox/chrome/safari css properties and styles for IE might be a very painstaking task, since those properties differ a lot between IE and firefox, chrome/safari.
Any suggestions on what I should do to get this iWebkit stylesheet working on IE6-10?
Here is the link to the Firefox iWebkit stylesheet I was talking about: http://svn.trynull.com/iwebkitmozilla/tags/

Area: HX4 8PQ
Area Type: Suburban Homeowners In Smaller Private Family Homes
Typically less affluent than the "Affluent Home Owning Couples & Families", these residents live in smaller less expensive semi and detached properties in small towns and pleasant suburbs. We see a mix of couples, singles and families. Typically homes are mortgaged although some are owned outright. Although this group includes directors, the majority are occupied in professional, white and blue collar employment. Car ownership is high as most residents use private transport to travel to work. Typically responsive to mail order, they are quite able to maintain repayments. They read a mix of newspapers.
