June 27, 2015 - So cute! Needs at least 4-6 hours full sun to operate. Very bright Iight.
June 15, 2015 - Bright little guy! After allowing it to charge a full day in the sunlight, it lit up at night much brighter than I expected. It honestly looks just like the picture. I've have it for about a month and it still lights up the same as it did the very first day. It's really cute too!
June 12, 2015 - Very cute with nice bright light. However, it needs to be anchored down because a good wind will blow it around.
June 12, 2015 - Love this little dog...light is very bright, and he stands great on a table...haven't tried him on grass.
June 12, 2015 - I just love it!!! So cute, and creates a nice light in my garden every night!!! I have dogs, so this nice light reminds me of them when they are inside and I walk in the garden in the evening. Had many compliments from the neighbors too. It works great, and had no problem with the battery. Thank you for the nice addition!!!!

So this is what I started with.
That is what the car has been through.
I don't think the second owner had it for long. Although he rebuilt the front end like new.
I traded a HPI Super 5sc roller and some cash for the car.
Got it home and hooked it up and the esc fried. I don't know what happened, but it looks like it arced on the inside of the esc. So I went down to my lhs and ordered another xl-2 esc.
While I wait for it I have done the following mods:
Savox steering servo
Was a rudder servo. I figure good enough for air, good enough for ground. I had this from a wrecked Blade 500 3d heli. I was going to use the rudder/gyro combo but I couldn't get the gyro to arm. I think it was damaged in a manufacture defect crash.
Home made glitch buster.
Added Integy dual fan cooler to the motor.
I used Teflon tape to shim up all of the front end. Steering links and a arms.
This made everything nice and tight, just how I like.
I shimmed the rear wing, using servo mounting rubbers.
This way I can actually change the degree of the rear wing.
Now for the fun part. I changed the front and rear diff fluid to 125k losi fluid.
The front had little to nothing in it, and the rear was really nasty, and had what looked like chunks in it.
They were not greased on the outside either.
I changed the front shock fluid to 50wt, and the rear to 60wt, and I'm using gold revo springs all around.
Fluid was nice and clean, and I like the hole in the shock cap that lets extra fluid out so you don't pre-load the shock while filling.
I will be using my DX4S trans and receiver combo, and will add my t1k telemetry later on.
For now I'll use the Garmin Nuvi to measure speed.
I like the easy to get to diffs in this ride. It's a simple easy design overall, and I can't wait to run it.
I'll have a vid for every run.
Thanks to all that have come up with these mods. Thanks to Bringit for the great start on this awesome ride.

I love a good wood. The green, enchanting natural beauty that makes you feel alive, whatever the weather. In a few days time, one particular wood will also make you laugh, smile and feel warm inside. Killinthomas Woods, near Rathangan is the place to be on Sunday. If you don't know it, go through the town and it is on the right at the roundabout. There may even be a signpost.
It is a place where I go with a friend to walk the dogs, burn a few calories and put the world to rights with my old pal Collette. If the trees could talk, we'd probably be arrested. We're not the only ones who love the place. They hold special memories for the current Mayor of Kildare, Fiona O'Loughlin.
Having spent her childhood in Rathangan, she is deeply rooted in the area, as was her father Jimmy. "Dad was born and reared in Cappanargid as was his father before him. Whilst he loved travelling and adventuring he loved Rathangan". Jimmy's father Joe was on the very first Kildare County Council in 1898 and was a magistrate in the poor law union.
With the most beautiful woodland in the county right on his doorstep, Killinthomas was a place that he went to regularly. "He walked there daily, enjoying the chats with all he met. When the bluebells were up, it was his favourite time of the year". The flowers are almost up and the wild garlic carpets the floor. That time is now.
When her father passed away two years ago, he left a big hole. "Jimmy was a huge personality in the lives of so many," she shared over coffee. "He was proud of Kildare and so neighbourhood focused. He raised money to turn a local church into a community centre". He also was a creative man and wrote, 'Straws On The Wind', a play about the effect of industrialization on a small town.
When he died, his family wanted to do something positive to celebrate their father's life. Taking the three things that he cared about, community, nature and culture, they created 'Bluebells And Buskers' two years ago. It's a great afternoon, set against the backdrop of the woods and a moving tribute to a much-loved man.
Mayor Fiona is no newcomer to organising events. She has been involved with festivals before. Bealtaine and Junefest in Newbridge, and in her hometown of Rathangan, Lughnasa. But it was her brother Brian, the driving force behind the day, who came up with the name for the event. 'Bluebells' for the flowers that carpet the woodland floor and 'buskers' for the variety of artists and performers who are dotted around the walkways.
"When we started it two years ago we expected 200 to come and almost a thousand turned up. It was a magical day for all of us". This Sunday, walk along the pathways and you'll discover performers: singers, poets, musicians sitting beneath a tree or around a corner and what better way to spend an hour or two. Leo, Pat and Claire will also be manning a BBQ, and Fiona's Mother Mary and friends will be supplying tea and cakes.
On Sunday evening, the community centre will be opening at 8pm with music from local band "Bun os Cionn". "Everybody's welcome and admission is free. It's a very special day, and an emotional one. It's one that Dad would have really enjoyed," she told me. Back in the 1970`s Jimmy spearheaded the task of building the centre for the town and fundraised for it. One of his last wishes was to help refurbish it. To date Bluebells and Buskers has raised a whopping €10,000.
This year, the proceeds will go towards the kitchen. "It's almost complete, it is a fantastic asset to our town," said Fiona. The icing on the cake will come later in the year when in November, to mark what would have been her father's 80th birthday, the Rath Players will perform 'Straws On The Wind' in the newly refurbished centre. "He cared about it so much". I doubt that there will be a dry eye in the house.
Sadly last summer Rathangan suffered another loss when another Jimmy O`Loughlin from Kilmoney passed away. Fiona explained, "He was a cousin, friend and neighbour and as a community we are bereft of the two Jimmy's". As a tribute, this year the event is in memory of both men.
Performers at Bluebells and Buskers have ranged from local school children to country and western singer Whizz O Rourke. The audience has enjoyed an eclectic mix of operatic performances from Philip Scott and rock and roll from Pud Barrett. There has been classical guitar from Conor O'Mahoney and a little poetry thrown in too. Frankie Lane will be a new artiste next week. But he's not the only new kid on the block.
Yes, prepare to be amazed because I'm going to be performing. Singing, dancing, juggling or maybe swinging from a tree, I'll not disclose. I have ruled out my children's suggestions of fire eating and sword swallowing, along with tight rope walking and belly dancing. I was going to do something dangerous on roller-skates, maybe even knife throwing, but health and safety stepped in. I might need an assistant. I'm looking forward to taking part and hope that the audience will be patient with me.
Dust off the diary, sharpen the pencil and mark in this Sunday, 3rd May at 2pm. Head for the beautiful Killinthomas Woods. Bluebells and Buskers is a wonderful excuse to bring the whole family down to get outside and experience a little bit of magic.
Fiona O'Loughlin put it well, "It is a little bit of everything that is good about where we live and who we share it with. It's an opportunity to be in a beautiful place, be entertained by local people, enjoy fresh air and one another".
See you there.

Thousands of Palestinians flee northern Gaza
Thousands of Palestinian residents of the northern Gaza Strip fled their homes on Sunday and sought safety in U.N. shelters, heeding warnings from the Israeli military about impending plans to bomb the area in the sixth day of an offensive against Hamas that has killed more than 160 people.

Israeli soldiers gathering next to their mobile artillery unit begin their day at a position on Israel Gaza border, Saturday, July 12, 2014. Israeli airstrikes overnight targeting Hamas in Gaza hit a mosque its military says concealed the militant group's weapons, in an offensive that showed no signs of slowing down. Israel launched its campaign five days ago to stop relentless rocket fire on its citizens. While there have been no fatalities in Israel, Palestinian officials said overnight attacks raised the death toll there to over 120, with more than 920 wounded. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)

Stony Brook 370.
(photo credit:SBU)
The 2012 High Holidays will be unlike any others that preceded them in the history of Stony Brook University. This academic year, for the first time, the school will hold regular classes rather than suspend them during traditional Jewish and Christian holidays. The change was made "to ensure that some religions are not given preferential treatment," according to Dean of Students Jerrold L. Stein.While Stony Brook's decision does bring it in line with the majority of American universities, which do not cancel classes for religious observance, the change drew the ire of many in the New York school's campus community.Jewish, Christian and Muslim officials from Stony Brook's Interfaith Center sent a letter to University President Samuel Stanley saying changing the calendar was "ill advised." "Eliminating major religious observance for this calendar will damage the university's image and reputation," the letter said. Yet Catherine Duffy, assistant to Stony Brook Dean of Students Jerrold L. Stein, told JNS.org that the informal reaction from students on campus was a sense that they "understood" the change."If a student has a religious need, of course they will be excused [from class]," Duffy said. "But [the university] did not want to alter the whole calendar." "Everyone knew their own religious observance would not be impacted because the students would be excused if they have to miss class because of a religious observance," she said, explaining that there was "no uproar" on campus.How do other universities treat religious holidays?To better understand how universities accommodate students' religious observance, JNS.org looked at the policies of some major institutions. Virtually all schools enable students to observe religious holidays without academic penalties.Princeton University has "very few holidays other than its formal break," Susan Johanesen, executive assistant to Hillel Director Rabbi Julie Roth, told JNS.org. "The calendar has been the same forever," she said. "Princeton has very few times when it suspends classes." Johanesen noted that the university's Office of Religious Life (ORL) sends a listing of all holidays to university professors. Observant students are allowed to miss class and make up a test. "The ORL helps adjust classes and assists professors in understanding the importance of observance. [ORL Director] Dean Alison Boden has been that way for a long time," said Johanesen.The University of Wisconsin states that it "seeks to be sensitive to the needs of individual students." Accommodation for religious practice is based both on the law and on the school's stated policy: a "student's claim of a religious conflict, which may include travel time, should be accepted at face value…there is no practical, dignified, and legal means to assess the validity of individual claims."Wisconsin cautions that mandatory academic requirements "should not be scheduled on days when religious observances may cause substantial numbers of students to be absent from the university." The school does require that students notify the instructor within the first two weeks of class of the specific days or dates "on which he or she requests relief."Indiana University's policy is to accept student claims of religious need on "face value"—attendance of religious services or events need not be proven.On the West coast, the University of Washington "Holiday Policy" suggests to faculty that "traditional observances, and major days of religious significance" be considered when "developing class syllabus and planning for examinations."Academics are not the only aspect of university life affected by the requirements of religious observance. The University of California has had a policy since 2007 ensuring that religious holidays do not conflict with residence hall move-in days.The University of Arkansas says students are "expected to provide instructors with a schedule of religious holidays they intend to observe in writing." The university handbook explicitly states that it "does not observe religious holidays." Syracuse University does not suspend classes for Jewish holidays or those of any other religion. The university, however, "recognizes the diverse faith traditions represented among its campus community and supports the rights of faculty, staff, and students to observe according to these traditions." Students are asked to "consider their need for accommodation for religious observances as they plan their schedule each semester." North of the border, at Ryerson University in Canada, instructors are encouraged "to bear [religious observance] in mind when preparing their courses and to accommodate any student who cannot attend class due to religious observance." Ryerson provides a "religious observance accommodation form" students submit to instructors.Why was Stony Brook's calendar changed?The current student population at Stony Brook, based on a demographic analysis of the 2009 incoming freshman class, shows Catholic students as the most significant minority at about 30 percent, with Jewish students amounting to 6.2 percent and a Muslim contingent totaling 6.6 percent.Stony Brook issued a statement saying that student complaints "prompted us to look into an alternative academic calendar." A "calendar committee" formed during 2011 recommend changes. According to its statement, the university recognizes "the significant role of religion and faith in the lives of our students, faculty and staff and will ensure that no member of our community is compelled to work, teach or attend class in a way that impacts their ability to practice their faith."University spokesperson Lauren Sheprow told JNS.org that "the president of the undergraduate student government and others in the administration at the time were on record as being in favor of the calendar changes." Asked to comment about the opinion of the campus Hillel, she stated that Hillel "is provided space on the [Stony Brook] campus… just like many other religious denominations.""The university does not speak on behalf of the independent religious organizations that offer programs and services on campus," she said. The university calendar is now completely secular—with the exception of closure on Christmas. When it was proposed last March, the calendar change engendered protests from nine New York state senators, led by Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. He asked Stony Brook to "re-examine your process and implement a policy that takes into consideration the best interests of students and faculty across your campus."
Norman Goodman, a sociology professor at the university, said Stony Brook's decision "does not take into account the variety of needs of faculty and students, and it shows no respect for religion.""I'm concerned that fellow faculty members and students who are observant will be put at an unnecessary disadvantage," Goodman said.The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a conservative Christian organization, came to the defense of the long-existing university calendar and urged Stony Brook to reconsider the calendar changes. "Refusing to accommodate religious observances now after many years of previously doing so strongly signals to current and prospective students and their families that Stony Brook's once welcoming approach to students of faith has changed," an ACLJ letter said. "It is not too late to correct what appears to be an ill-advised change in SUNY Stony Brook policy."The U.S. Constitution, ACLJ explained, "affirmatively mandates accommodation, not merely tolerance, of all religions, and forbids hostility toward any religion."The Stony Brook administration, meanwhile, defended its decision adamantly. Vice Provost Dr. Charles Robbins told Fox News that the change would increase "fairness to the entire student body.""Our goal is to maximize available class time for all of our students and to really make a calendar that's predictable and standardized that makes the most sense academically," he said.

ashamed of you indian Police
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Government forces in Indian-controlled Kashmir fired Saturday on protesters rallying against Israel's invasion of Gaza, killing a teenage boy, police said.
Troops opened fire after the protesters clashed with security forces in Khudwani, a village south of Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir, a police officer said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.
Police did not give the boy's age, but residents said he was 15 or 16.
More protests erupted following the boy's death and spread to at least two nearby towns where police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
Kashmir has witnessed massive pro-Palestinian protests almost every day since Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza. Protesters have burned Israeli flags and clashed with government forces at several places in the region, injuring at least five people.
Last week, dozens of students were arrested while demonstrating outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi.

What Happens When You Give a Dog a Bag of Balls
Guarantee this is the cutest video you'll see all day!
Guarantee this is the cutest video you'll see all day!
A security camera in Russia captured what could have been a horrific accident. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan was there to prevent the unthinkable from happening.
A dog with an itchy trigger finger.....this is a story to tell!
If you've ever watched your dog romp through freshly fallen snow, then you know what a treat it can be for them. When it gets deep, it can be even more fun! Meet Scooter who hasn't met his match with this snowfall.
A man and his dog. This just might be the coolest story ever, with the coolest motorcycle riding dog ever. His name is "Dog" and his owner got him by trading a can of beer for him. Then came the motorcycle lessons
The sedated dog is Aero. He is just waking up from surgery. Poor guy. He is trying to talk to his owner.
Zander, a white Samoyed-Husky mix, navigated two miles of tricky neighborhoods across a busy highway to find his owner who was in the hospital, and now he's not leaving his side.
Not something you see every day. Abandoned and near death a tiny kitten was rescued from the floor of a Jordan, Minnesota barn and was suckled back to life by a 4-year-old Pekingese named Mittens.
Very cute to start a Sunday. I bet he would actually talk if that was a big juicy steak in his bowl.
Take a look.
Kira is an ordinary Black Lab with an extraordinary hobby. She swims with wild dolphins. You hear about humans doing it all the time. Have you ever seen a dog do that?
This is such a cool video take a look.
A group of college students in China went on a cross-country bike ride after graduation. While riding through a small town they came upon a small stray dog. They fed the dog and the dog followed them for the rest of the cross-country journey.
All 1,110 miles of it. Up and down four-mountains for 20 days the dog followed. At the end one of the cyclists adopted the dog.
His new name is Xiao Sa. Ii's pronounced She-Oh-Sa. I would guess that means dog that follows. Meet Xiao Sa.
My golden retriever, Sammi, is one strange dog. I rescued her after someone dumped her off on Genesee Road almost two years ago. She initially had a severe case of what the vet termed, "separation anxiety"....which I found to mean that if you left her alone, she could destroy things rather quickly. We solved that by caging her for the first year. But here's the quirky things that she does that I find so strange.....

This scholarly biography details the life of an extraordinary woman in an extraordinary society. Julia Augusti studies the life of the only daughter of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and the father who sacrificed his daughter and her children in order to establish a dynasty. Studying the abundant historical evidence available, this biography studies each stage of Julia's life in remarkable detail: her childhood - taken from her divorced mother to become part of a complex and unstable family structure her youth - set against the brilliant social and cultural life of the new Augustan Rome her marriages - as tools for Augustus' plans for succession Julia's violation of her father's moral regime, and the betrayal of her absent husband. Reflecting new attitudes, and casting fresh light on their social reality, this outstanding biography will delight, entertain and inform anyone interested in this engaging Classical figure.

Thomas Moran began his artistic career as a teenage apprentice to the Philadelphia wood-engraving firm Scattergood & Telfer. Moran found the engraving process "tedious" and spent his free time working on his own watercolors. By the mid 1850s he was drawing the firm's illustrations for publication rather than carving them and he began studying with local painter James Hamilton who introduced him to the work of British artist J. M. W. Turner. Moran traveled to England in 1862 to see Turner's work and he often acknowledged that artist's influence on his use of color and choice of landscapes. During the 1870s and 1880s Moran's designs for wood-engraved illustrations appeared in major magazines and gift oriented publications. Moran was...

Asia Regional Webinar: AV Business — Going Green, Going Connected
Type: Recorded Webinar
Topics: AV Industry; Smart Building Technology (SBT); Sustainable AV
Date: July 2012
The pro AV industry is automating more and more buildings and campuses in every market vertical. Pro AV is connecting more and more devices and bringing them on a common platform. This adds to more equipment usage and hence more power usage, too. Is Pro AV increasing energy consumption? How critical is going green for a large corporate or an education institution versus connectivity? Is it possible to show ROI in pro AV equipment? Can manpower for facility management be really reduced?

So for 2 days now I have had a really annoying pain on my left side kinda by my left pelvic hip bone area very low abdominal region. It is tender to the touch at times. Thought maybe round lig but it just keeps continuing. It's pretty painful. It is constant not really come and go and really hurts when I roll over or cough. Doesn't hurt to pee does hurt more when I have gas and offers a little relief short term when I have BM or pass gas. I'm just really over it!!! I called dr today they said water and Tylenol , which offered no relief, we I put my feet up and sat still it was alittle better. Now just really irritatingly annoying and I'm worried for baby I'm 19 weeks and feel her quite a bit but in waves and not much last 24 hrs but that is kinda how its been lots for days then nothing or a few days.

Ive been having pains like that if i move wierd or when i sit down to go pee. i called my doc todayand they told me theres two ligaments that go from your pelvic bones area to your belly button and around 20 weeks they start growing more so thats what those pains r from. id talk to ur doc about it some more but mine said rest and lots of water and a warm heating pad should help not too warm tho ...and also tylonal.

Mine is totally localized to one specific spot tender to the touch, I was in tears a few min ago. I tried hot water bottle and it made it worse:( I'm defiantly going to dr 1st thing in am but I just want to sleep and I want to feel her move and so far nothing on either account. The pain is all the way on the left side ad doesn't radiate at all just hurts like hell right there. It u put ur hand on ur hip bone fingers pointing towards vaginal area it is where your fingers are touching.

Could it be your.colon? Are you constipated or had difficulty going? I've had issue all my life and had.periods of time wher I had pain where you are explaining. I've even had 2 CT scans in the past to help figure it out and basically it boils down to constipation and the bowel gets inflamed and sometimes spasms. I get it mild off and on still but a few summers ago it felt like an knife was stabbing me there and it lasted for weeks. Got colonoscopy and everything fine. Not sure if that's it but thought I could help. If it is then you basically need time, more bowel movements, and an daily fiber supplement. When I would have BM it would slightly improve but come back.Very annoying. Ive been mostly free of it during pregnancy butnwillxget a twimge here and there so i just pray forna BM. I take metamucil daily and inswear.by it, my GI doc suggested benefiber but i never switched. They say the ones you dissolve in water are the best.
Posted 04/17/2013
Thanks yes it could be I did have BM and it felt Little better isn't as sore to the touch. Not constipated at all but if it is bowels it would make sense cause I usually go in the am and then as it is building throughly the day it is getting more painful. I was crying at 3am. It just feels super sore right now I will see how it goes in the next hour and maybe go to urgent care.
Posted 04/17/2013
I've had the same problem but mainly on my right side. It is excruciating! It wakes me up in the middle of the night because it's so bad. I've just chalked it up to RL pains. Hopefully it will get better.

Ramin Bahrani's first documentary short, including an interview with the director.
Here's a movie that teeters on the edge of being really pretty good and loses its way. I'm not sure quite what goes wrong, but you can see that it might have gone right. Maybe Paul, its alien hero, should have been sent back to the shop for a rewrite. He isn't merely voiced by Seth Rogen, he is Seth Rogen, if Seth Rogen looked like your usual bulb-headed, big-eyed being from outer space.
The premise is lovable. Graeme and Clive (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) play two overage fanboys from England who breathlessly embark on their dream trip to America. Their destination: Comic Con in San Diego, and then they plan to rent an RV and tour such American landmarks as Roswell, N.M., where (as we all know) a flying saucer landed years ago, and the event has been covered up ever since, becoming famous for allegedly being covered up.
The Comic Con scenes are priceless, as our lads vibrate with excitement in the presence of the legendary sci-fi author Adam Shadowchild, who Jeffrey Tambor invests with a dour impatience for the species of fanboys. I don't know where Tambor got the inspiration to wear that hat, but sometimes you see a prop, and your heart leaps up because it is so right.
After San Diego, the boys drive to Area 51 in Nevada, the first leg of their odyssey. Pegg and Frost bring a wide-eyed innocence and sweetness to their characters, for whom just about everything in America is more or less alien. That includes Paul, whose van crashes in front of them on the highway. If you are an alien and a bad driver, Graeme and Clive are the first two humans you want to meet. They've been inflamed for so long by images of creatures that look exactly like you, that they aren't particularly surprised when you appear. So you join them in their RV and enlist them in your trip toward a rendezvous with your mothership.
Along the way, they all meet Ruth Buggs (Kristen Wiig), an Intelligent Design advocate with a black lens in her glasses, who finds most of what they say shocking, but joins them in the RV for excellent reasons, even though the existence of an alien poses a considerable challenge to her creationism.
As you expect with a movie that begins at Comic Con, "Paul" revels in its geekdom. The movie is wall to wall with references to other sci-fi movies, some overt, some subtle, as we gradually catch on that this one little creature, Paul, must have been singlehandedly behind most of the close encounters of the last 70 years. The movie even supplies a new ending for one sci-fi classic, which brings it to a total of three.
But Paul himself may be a miscalculation. He is Seth Rogen in every aspect, except physical appearance. His voice, his vocabulary, his thinking, even his wardrobe (such as it is). And he uses even more four- and 10-letter words than Seth Rogen characters usually do. I think that's a mistake in two ways. (1) If you're going to involve Seth Rogen in a live-action movie, put him on the screen. (2) Paul isn't alien enough. The joy in characters like E.T. and Starman is that they are aliens. Their thinking is strange. Their reactions are unexpected. Paul is somehow too … ordinary.
So the movie's a miss, but not without its pleasures. One of them is the appearance of Sigourney Weaver, who knows a thing or two when it comes to aliens who are not ordinary.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Discrepancies between the ruling authorities' promises and their actions have in turn led to the Islamists' hesitation to join the electoral process. It's being seen as an unprecedented event in this country since the introduction of political pluralism in the late 1990s.
The Islamist party of Justice and Development Front (FJD, or El Adala) of Abdallah Djaballah was the first party to ask for electoral postponement. Djaballah was among the six candidates who withdrew on the eve of the presidential election in 1999, which was won by Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

Along with Fellow Islamist politicos, such as Ennahda of Mohamed Douibi and Movement for the Society of Peace (MSP) led by Abderazak Mokri, as well as El Adala have announced their boycott of April's presidential election. Fears of fraud are fueling the e parties' boycotts. These parties say conditions are not right for a free choice for Algerians.
"We consider that the conditions . prevailing currently are not suitable to hold [a] presidential election. This explains clearly our decision not to put forward a candidate in this vote," Idriss Rebbouh, associated with the Islamist party, the Front for Change says.
Ennahda leader Mohamed Douibi, says that "the authorities, who have pushed the opposition to adopt radical stances by opting for a boycott." The upcoming Algerian presidential elections also face boycotts by opposition parties, including the Rally for Culture and Democracy party (RCD).
After incumbent President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced he would run for a fourth term, popular dissent here began roiling. Crowds of demonstrators jammed the streets throughout the country. Protests against President's fourth term leads in turn led to clashes with security forces.

The invention relates to a method and device with which a vehicle traveling through a radar cone is classified by means of length criteria. The length criteria are formed by the difference of the driven distance that the vehicle covers, during which it reflects the radar beam, and the passage distance of the vehicle through the radar cone, which gives a more or less precise measurement for the vehicle length according to the accuracy of the determined passage distance. For determining the passage distance, range values are derived from the radar signals.

14. Device according to
15. Device according to
The invention relates to a method for classifying a vehicle as it is driven past a radar beam directed onto a roadway.
Such a method is known according to the class from Patent Application No. EP 0 067 905 A1.
Doppler radar systems are used in traffic measurement technology especially for monitoring and enforcing legal speed limits for vehicles. Here it can be of interest not only to detect the speed of a vehicle, but also to classify the vehicle.
EP 0 067 905 A1 relates to a method and to a device in which the speed of a measured vehicle and discrimination criteria for assigning the vehicle to a vehicle class are derived by means of the evaluation of signals of a Doppler radar speed measurement device. In this way it becomes possible to trigger a camera when different maximum speeds allocated to different vehicle classes are exceeded. As discrimination criteria, criteria for the vehicle length are detected, determined by the number of emitted radar pulses that are reflected by the vehicle as it drives past.
The application of the measurement method described here on a roadway with several lanes shall be explained with reference to
From the number of reflected radar pulses between respective entry and exit times ta and tb, and the knowledge of a fixed distance e (product from half the wavelength of the radar beam and cos β), which a vehicle A1, A2, or A3 covers during a radar pulse, the corresponding driven distance s1, s2, or s3, i.e., its length, can be determined, during which the radar device 5 receives reflected radar pulses.
Because the measurement begins with the entry of the front of the vehicle and ends with the exit of the rear end, the driven distances s1, s2, and s3 are combinations of the corresponding passage distance d1, d2, and d3, respectively, through the radar cone 4, i.e., the length, and the corresponding vehicle length L1, L2, and L3, respectively (see
The vehicle length L can be accurately determined from the driven distance s only when all of the vehicles pass through the same passage distance d or else when the passage distance d is known and thus the vehicle length L can be determined from the corresponding driven distance s.
However, because the goal is not primarily to determine the vehicle length L, but instead to use it as means to be able to classify the measured vehicle, it is sufficient to determine length criteria that allow the vehicle to be assigned unambiguously to only one vehicle class.
From DE 693 17 186 T2 (application corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 5,402,346 A), a system for determining at least one traffic control parameter for vehicles is known.
To enable simultaneous monitoring of all the lanes, a pulsed radar beam is directed onto the roadway. The generated radar beam (called diagram here) is narrow according to the horizontal beam spread angle (called side angle here) and is inclined by a horizontal positioning angle (also called side angle here) to the roadway.
The vehicle length is designated as one of the determinable traffic control parameters.
This is formed from the product of the determined vehicle speed and the duration of the presence of the vehicle in the radar cone minus the path that the vehicle covered when driving through the radar cone (passage path). This passage path is formed as a fixed value from the length of a given range window and the cosine of the horizontal positioning angle and the horizontal beam spread angle.
Whereas in EP 0 067 905 A1, where length discrimination of the vehicles is determined just with reference to the driven distances s detected for the vehicles—in DE 693 17 186 T2, the driven distances are also detected, but by means of the determined speed and the duration of the presence of the vehicle in the radar cone—in DE 693 17 186 T2, these driven distances are corrected by a fixed value.
The accuracy of the discrimination criteria of vehicle length is therefore not improved. In both cases, the obtained length values are equally subject to error because the passage distances for vehicles traveling at different ranges to the radar device are not constant. The greater the horizontal beam spread angle of the radar cone, the greater the error.
In EP 0 067 905 A1, it is shown, for example, that with the determination of the length criteria proposed here, namely the driven distance s across the number of radar pulses, a Pkw [passenger car] with a length of 4.5 m and a width of 1.5 m and a minivan with a length of 6 m and a width of 2 m can be distinguished from an Lkw [truck] with a length of 10 m and a width of 2.5 m, even if the vehicles are located in a first, second, or third lane. However, it is also clear that the discrimination is possible only due to the large differences in length, namely, on the one hand, 4.5 m or 6 m and, on the other hand, 10 m, which are greater than the tolerance range of the passage distances d across the roadway width. A Pkw at 4.5 m and a minivan at 6 m cannot be reliably distinguished if the vehicles are traveling anywhere on the roadway width, i.e., in different lanes.
For applications in which more than the three lanes specified here as an example are to be monitored or a finer discrimination than only Lkws and other vehicles is desired, the determination of length criteria by means of the determination of the driven distance s, e.g., by means of the number of reflected radar pulses according to EP 0 067 905 A1, is not sufficiently accurate.
In addition to the application presented, classification of vehicles can be of interest for speed limits dependent on vehicle class in order to monitor, in addition to or instead of, the speed indication, e.g., unauthorized use of a street not permitted for transporting of heavy loads, to detect the use of lanes by different vehicle classes for statistical purposes, or to identify vehicles subject to tolls insofar as this toll requirement is determined by vehicle class. It also can be of interest to identify motorcycles or three-wheeled vehicles, which provide identification only on the rear end, in order to take an additional rear-end photograph restricted to this vehicle in the case of a speed violation. The vehicle length could also be a criterion, in order to assign a measured speed to a vehicle in a group of vehicles of different length or to verify an already determined assignment. For the last application, the most precise vehicle length determination possible would be of use, in order to also classify, e.g., Pkws according to vehicle types of different length.
The method disclosed in Patent EP 0 935 764 B1 does not relate to a method with which a classification of vehicles is performed, but instead to a method in which the range is also detected at the same time as the speed, whereby this solution gains relevance to the solution according to the invention.
The detected range is used to assign the vehicle to a lane in order to identify the measured vehicle in a group of vehicles traveling in different lanes.
For the range measurement by means of radar technology, pulsed radar devices and continuous radar devices with frequency-modulated continuous radar signals are known. In both cases, the range is not actually measured, but instead derived from different measurement parameters.
Continuous radar devices are also known which also permit the derivation of a measurement angle to the radar axis by means of the speed and the range.
In the following description, when the discussion is of measured values and a measured speed, measured range, or a measured measurement angle, a derived speed, range, or measurement angle should be understood.
Pulsed radar devices determine the range, i.e., the radial distance of reflective vehicle parts to the radar antenna by means of a propagation time measurement and derive the speed from the propagation time difference between successive measurements.
With a continuous radar device, a continuous radar beam that has a constant amplitude and frequency is emitted in a known way. As it is reflected from a moving object, such as a vehicle, this radar beam undergoes a frequency shift dependent on the speed of the vehicle. The beam portion that is reflected back into the radar device or onto the radar antenna is compared with the transmitted radar beam, and a frequency difference, the so-called Doppler frequency, is formed, which is proportional to the speed of the vehicle.
With the emission of a radar beam in different frequencies, frequency-shifted reflected beams are obtained, from whose phase difference the range is derived.
The speed and the range are thus determined in a common detection by means of a measurement principle in a common measurement procedure, with which a unique assignment of the measured values to each other is guaranteed.
Naturally, a measured value determination is also possible by means of different measurement principles, e.g., the detection of the speed by means of the Doppler radar principle and the detection of the speed by means of a pulse propagation time measurement, an example of which is specified in EP 0 935 764 B1.
For the Doppler radar principle, in contrast to the speed measurement, which is possible to a very precise degree, the variance of the range measurement values is very large. The point reflections, which reach from a vehicle to the radar antenna, extend to the entire vehicle contours on which the radar cross section is projected. The radar cross section projected onto a vehicle driving through the radar cone changes as a function of the corresponding geometry of the vehicle and also its position in the radar cone beginning from the entry into the radar cone up to the exit from the radar cone. At each measurement time point, a sum of measured values (measured value set) made up of partial reflections is detected by the receiver. A measured value is formed from these measured values, e.g., by means of averaging. For the following description, the measured range should be understood to be this formed measured value.
The invention is based on the problem of refining a method for classifying vehicles with reference to length criteria and a corresponding device in such a way that the vehicle length can be derived more accurately, in order to be able to perform a finer classification of the vehicles.
This problem is solved by a method with the features of Claim 1 and for a device with the features of Claim 13. Advantageous refinements are described in the subordinate claims.
It is essential to the invention that the length criteria will be improved by limiting the tolerance width for the passage distance d, in that the passage distance d is determined by means of the detection of range values E and thus the vehicle length L can be derived more accurately.
The invention shall be explained in more detail below using examples with reference to the drawings, in which
The method according to the invention represents a refinement of a method according to EP 0 067 905 A1. Identical to the method described here, as it was described in the description of the prior art in detail with reference to
Alternatively, the driven distance s can be determined from the passage time (=tb−ta) and the measured speed v.
For performing the method, a radar device 5 with a distance a to the roadway is positioned at an acute horizontal positioning angle β of the radar axis to the roadway direction next to a roadway with several lanes. The positioning angle β can also be realized by a squint angle of the radar device 5. For a beam spread angle α of the radar cone 4, e.g., a vehicle A2 traveling in the middle of the second lane passes through the radar cone 4 at ranges from E2 a to E2 b across a passage distance d2 (
In contrast to the prior art, where only the driven distance s is determined and only this is used as a length criteria for the classification, for the method according to the invention, the tolerance range of the passage distance d is limited, in that at least one range value E is measured.
The limitation of the tolerance range of the passage distance d with only one range value E is possible because a passage distance d, which was determined in advance and which is defined by the beam spread angle α, the positioning angle β, the distance a of the radar device 5 to the roadway, and an average vehicle width, is allocated to this range value E. The determined driven distance s minus the passage distance d then gives a measure of the vehicle length L. The determination of the passage distance d with reference to only one range value E is very coarse, but in comparison with the prior art, it limits the range of lengths for the passage distance d, which is why the tolerance range for the vehicle length L becomes comparatively smaller.
To be able to reach a conclusion on a passage distance d directly via the range E, in a first embodiment with reference to
By subtracting the passage distance d2 from the driven distance s2 determined in a known way, the vehicle length L2 is given.
Through a more accurate determination of the driven distance s, the tolerance range for the vehicle length L is considerably reduced. To view the driven distance s as a limited straight line, however, is an idealization, in which the vehicle A, considered as reduced to a point, exactly maintains its direction of travel, i.e., the path that the vehicle A travels describes is a straight line.
Even if the vehicle A maintains its direction of travel, but its extent past the vehicle width is taken into consideration, then the range values E no longer describe a straight line but in a curve, whose length is necessarily longer than the straight line, i.e., the actual passage distance d is longer than the passage distance d determined with a described two-point measurement. For changes in the direction of travel, the actual passage distance d could also be extended.
According to a second embodiment, the range measurement could also be determined over the entire passage time, in order to determine from it the vehicle path described by vehicle A and thus the driven distance s, i.e., its length, with even more precision.
The range values E do not follow the described rule when the vehicle A does not travel constantly in the direction of travel of the roadway.
With the entry of a vehicle A into the radar cone 4 (measurement range), the speed v, radial distance a (range E), and optionally the measurement angle to the radar axis of vehicles are determined by means of the continuous measurement of reflection signals originating from these individual vehicles A.
The continuous speed measurement or the range measurement is performed, as already described, by taking advantage of the Doppler radar effect or corresponding to the frequency shift keying principle in evaluation of the phase difference of reflected radar signals of different frequency.
The angle measurement optionally takes place by means of two receiving antennas by means of a triangulation measurement. For this purpose, for example, a planar antenna according to DE 10 2004 040 015 B4 can be used.
Because the speed v, the range E, and the measurement angle are derived from a measurement, the measurement values can be uniquely assigned to each other.
For each measurement process, a value pair of the speed v and range E or a value triplet of the speed v, range E, and measurement angle is produced for each vehicle A in the radar cone 4.
The greater the number of measured values determined over the same passage distance d, the greater the accuracy of a conclusion that can be made regarding the vehicle path and thus the actual passage distance d.
Under consideration of this relationship, it follows that as many measurements as possible are performed for high accuracy.
The shorter the passage distance d for the same tolerance width of the range value E and thus the absolute deviation of the passage distance d, the smaller the tolerance width for the determined vehicle length L.
Under consideration of this relationship, it follows that the measurement area is limited for reasons of improved accuracy, in that the area is limited to a smaller angular area than is given by the beam spread angle α. For this purpose, as already mentioned, the measurement angle is also detected for the range E.
With the continuous repetition of the measurement process (tracking algorithm), the value pairs or value triplets are tested continuously for their likelihood, in that the actual values are compared with desired values. The desired values are given from the assumption that a vehicle A at constant speed v maintains its direction of travel unchanged and from the knowledge of the time distance of the measurement processes. Here, individual measurement values that do not appear to be likely, i.e., speeds v, ranges E, or measurement angles that would be impossible to assign to a measured vehicle A at the next measurement time point, e.g., due to multiple reflections or reflections from stationary objects, are filtered out, i.e., they are not included in averaging. By means of the continuous adaptation of the desired values for the value pairs or value triplets to the actual values for the value pairs or value triplets, for each individual vehicle A, a sequence of value pairs or value triplets are obtained, which represent the vehicle path of the given vehicle A.
The measurements are performed, e.g., over a time period from ca. 100 ms up to a few seconds at an interval, e.g., of 20 ms according to the speed v between the entry into and exit out of the radar cone 4, by means of which the vehicle paths can be defined with high accuracy.
From the determination of only one range value E, which allows as a criterion a coarse determination of the passage distance d, up to the determination of the vehicle path, which corresponds quite accurately to the actual passage distance d, the passage distance d can be determined with increasing accuracy and thus the vehicle length L can be determined from the driven distance s with more accurately.
A higher accuracy, however, is also associated with higher expense in terms of equipment and computation, which is why, according to the application and the resulting accuracy requirements, one or the other construction is advantageous.
In each case, sufficiently accurate length criteria are determined for each application, which determines the vehicle length L with more or less accuracy in order to classify the vehicles A.
The determined vehicle length L is then compared with vehicle lengths Lm or vehicle length ranges that are typical for the individual vehicle classes, in order to assign the vehicle A to a certain class, e.g., motorcycle, Pkw, Lkw.
Advantageously, the classification is verified by means of determining a signal form M allocated to the vehicle A. Due to the different properties of the vehicles A, e.g., the reflectivity of the surface and the profile irradiated by the radar beam in magnitude and form, these signal profiles generate a different profile and amplitude in the frequency or time domain. Through empirical tests, in practice, signal forms Mm that are typical for each vehicle class are determined and stored as patterns. The signal forms M actually obtained during measurement are then compared with these typical signal forms Mm and assigned to these forms.
In this way, the classification performed by means of the length criterion is possible, without additional measurements, but only the already obtained measured values.
Identical to the known method, the measured speed v can be compared with a maximum speed and when this maximum speed is exceeded, a signal can be output, which triggers a camera 10 connected to the radar device 5, in order to take a photograph, on which is imaged the vehicle A making the traffic violation.
According to the invention, this signal is then output only when the speed v has exceeded the maximum speed allocated to the vehicle class to which the measured vehicle A can be assigned. In the photograph, in addition to the data known from the prior art, e.g., date, clock time, speed, and optionally range E, the vehicle class and/or a value for the vehicle length L are also indicated. The information on the vehicle length L and/or the vehicle class can also be used as verification for which vehicle A in a group of vehicles A was measured. For such an application, e.g., the most accurate length determination possible is important, by means of which vehicles A within a class could also be differentiated from each other if they differ sufficiently in length.
Below, a device according to the invention, with which a method according to the invention can be performed, will be described with reference to
The device includes a radar device 5, which transmits and receives continuous radar signals, and also an evaluation and memory unit 6, which is connected to the radar device 5 and which is designed so that, from the received signals, it forms measurement values for the speed v, the range E, and the driven distance s, and also stores the signal form M and the time points of entry ta and exit tb.
The evaluation and storage unit 6 is connected to a computing unit 7, which is designed in such a way that it determines from the range values E and the speed values v or the time difference between the entry and exit time points ta−tb the passage distance d, which is fed to a downstream difference generator 8. The difference generator 8 is also connected to the evaluation and storage unit 6 and receives from it a value for a driven distance s. From the driven distance s and the passage distance d, the vehicle length L is determined by forming a difference in the difference generator 8. The determined vehicle length L is provided to a comparator 9, which is connected to the difference generator 8 and the evaluation and control unit 6. The comparator 9 is designed in such a way that it assigns the determined vehicle length L received from the difference generator 8 and the signal form M each to a vehicle class and then compares whether the same vehicle class was assigned, which serves optionally as confirmation of the vehicle class.
So that the vehicle length L and the signal form M can each be allocated to a vehicle class, typical vehicle lengths Lm and typical signal forms Mm, which can each be allocated uniquely to a vehicle class, are stored in the difference generator 8.
If the vehicle class K is confirmed, then it is forwarded together with the speed v to a camera 10 in order to display these values in the camera photograph.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in connection with currently preferred embodiments shown and described in detail, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and practical application to thereby enable a person skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
