Dean Ween Clarifies Remarks About Singer Auditions, Says Gene Ween is Irreplaceable
Dean Ween took to Facebook to clarify remarks he made about auditioning singers to take the place of his former bandmate, Aaron Freeman
Dean Ween took to Facebook to clarify remarks he made about auditioning singers to take the place of his former bandmate, Aaron Freeman
Former wonder-duo Ween have a knack for weaving strange -- sometimes a touch unsettling -- stories with their songs.
Remember 'The Jane Pratt Show'? Neither do we. Apparently it was a daytime talk show that lasted a mere five months on the Lifetime network back in 1993. Perhaps its short lifespan was in part due to such ill-advised musical guest choices as Ween, the willfully bizarre duo that was best known at the time for its minor alt-rock radio hit 'Push th' Little Daisies.'
Ween fans who were surprised by the band's breakup earlier this year will likely be totally shocked by this news. According to a report in Glide Magazine, ex-Ween singer Aaron Freeman is currently in a hospital in Belgium where he is undergoing "a transformative procedure" -- and the story suggests that said procedure may be a sex change operation. Wait, what?
The future of Ween is currently up in the air, but the duo's past as an eclectic and uncannily original band is well established. That said, a cameo in the 1994 box-office bomb 'It's Pat' -- based on the quirky 'Saturday Night Live' skit of the same name -- isn't exactly something most bands would place too high on their bios.
But since Ween aren't like most bands,
The future of Ween is up in the air, but the past is full of memorable performances from the eccentric rockers. Few gigs are as memorable as the band's Halloween 2010 showing in Denver, Colo. during with G
Nearly two months have passed since Aaron Freeman (aka Gene Ween) announced Ween were over and that he had moved on to focus on a solo career, but his former bandmate, guitarist/singer Mickey Melchiondo (aka Dean Ween), still doesn't believe the split will hold. In fact, he insists it probably won't be long before Ween are back rocking together again -- much sooner than anybody realizes. "I don't think that you've seen the last of Ween," Melchiondo tells mxdwn.com. "I wouldn't be surprised if we played before the year is over to be honest with you."
It wasn't easy being Ween, as singer Gene Ween (Aaron Freeman) admitted recently when he announced the end of the band he fronted with guitarist Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo) for nearly three decades. It shouldn't be a shock that "Ween" was a nonsensical name fabricated by the chil

" I had a Chef's Choice 130 electric sharpener for several years and bought the Smith's Adjustable Edge Pro Electric Knife Sharpener (SAEP) several months ago because it allowed you to manually adjust the sharpening angle for the style of the knife you wanted to sharpen (chef's, santoku, paring, utility, boning, fillet, pocket knife, hunting/outdoor knife, etc).

"I bought this sharpener about a month ago at Costo. I had wanted a diamond grinder for a while to bring back some older knives I had. For that it is superb. It will give a very dull knife an edge sharp enough to shave your arm in very short order. However, if it's a high quality knife you'll want to stop there as you'll just ruin the blade trying to get it any sharper. ..." --DrLogik

Confession Of A Stay-at-Home Mom
by Slacker And Steve
posted Sep 28 2012 3:21PM
It FrYiday!
We know the stay-at-home-parent is busy most of the day. But you have to admit, you have some free time to do things your spouse doesn't know about. Do you take a 3 hour nap? Watch re-runs of your favorite show? Maybe something totally crazy!
Slacker's wife watches netflix likes it's her job. She will actually talked to the show. He admits she's busts her ass, but really? It's not that tough with 1 kid in school and the other at home and low maintenance. She still keeps the house immaculate. He's being careful because there's a 50/50 chance she's listening...Now he's waiting for the text from his wife...any minute now.
Slacker's job is to make what he does seem like it's worth it to pay money for Steve and Slacker to develop a show...Same deal with Stay at Home Mom's.
Steve doesn't think it's a job. You don't pay taxes, you don't get paid, no vacation... Not a job!
What do you do with your unsupervised time?
I watch TV in every room and get more done in the house than if I saved money and only had one TV on...

Academy Expands 'Original Song' Category to Five Nominees
The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has approved additional rules for the 85th Academy Awards. The most significant changes affect the Original Song category, in which there will now be five nominees.
During the nominations process, all voting members of the Music Branch will receive a Reminder List of works submitted in the category and a DVD copy of the song clips. Members will be asked to watch the clips and then vote in the order of their preference for not more than five achievements in the category. The five achievements receiving the highest number of votes will become the nominations for final voting for the award.
Additionally, upon the recommendation from the Designers Branch (formerly the Art Directors Branch), the Art Direction award will be known as the Production Design award.
Rules are reviewed annually by individual branch and category committees. The Awards Rules Committee then reviews all proposed changes before presenting its recommendations to the Academy's Board of Governors for approval.
For the complete rules for the 85th Academy Awards, visit oscars.org/rules.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar® presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.

The basic economic problem is that resources are scarce relative to the purposes to which they could be put. As a result choices have to be made about how to use resources. The basic economic problem is thus frequently referred to as 'scarcity and choice'. A resource is a means of support.

The study of the idealized version of perfect competition leads to some important conclusions regarding the solutions of key economic problems, such as the quantity of the relevant product produced, price charged, and the mechanism of adjustment in the industry.
Between 1818 and 1827, tariff issues involved constitutional and sectional problems as well as economic problems. A number of tariffs were passed during these years, but the only major act was the Tariff of 1824.
Actually nothing, but what is key is that market participants have been ignoring all the economic problems over the past week in the hope that when the smoke clears in Iraq, consumers and businesses will go back on a spending spree. Call me a cynic, but I say that dog won't hunt.
In general, the possibility that a factor of production may suddenly move elsewhere can create serious economic problems. For instance, an employer may think twice about investing in training an employee if it fears that the employee may suddenly take a job with another firm.

Information Technology is one industry that is extremely dynamic. People who have been in this segment long, know that re-skilling is part of the job. Yet there are some IT skills that according to industry experts will become outdated soon.
"It is not that people will be unemployed, what skilled technical professionals need to really do is start differentially-skilling themselves early," says Amrinder Singh, HR consultant and lead consultant and adviser for several IT companies.
A few of the skills that could face this include:
The Windows XP/2003 professional: There are several IT professionals who are currently in this segment. These include the likes of engineers, help desk staff, IT support staff , system administrators, to name a few.
According to Vineeta Chakraborty, HR Head, specialising in training & mentoring, with over a decade of experience, this may no longer be a useful skill to showcase as Windows plans to completely move off this Operating System.
"This is despite the fact that the Windows XP Operating System holds one of the top spots for desktops, coming just behind Windows 7," says Chakraborty. "The problem is that new applications no longer support this Operating System. Microsoft has already ended XP license sales and plans to stop the software that supports it too, in less than a year." "The only way out is to upgrade your skills to the latest OS, which to a techie is not really an issue, provided he makes the change in time,'' he continues.
The COBOL Programmer: "The language recently came in demand yet again a year back, but another year and it will be rendered obsolete," says Sripath Sarangan, CEO, TechRecruitz, a specialised IT-focused hiring firm. "The fact is languages like Cobol and Fortran are basically mainframe languages, and with increased phasing out of these large giants, the requirement of programmers in this field too will fizzle out. A better solution would be to use their `skill to read computer language' and build a career as a technical consultant or testing professional.''
Software Support: This is considered one of the backbones of the industry today. But apparently this too will change. "There is a huge transformation going on today, to the mobile. This coupled with the transition of software and services into the cloud limit the opportunity for traditional/packaged software support," says Sarangan. "If you have to be relevant then, you need to know how to manage software services and software configurations in the cloud for that is where the money will be."
The Server-Only IT Management Skill: "Virtualisation is most likely to be the technology to replace the traditional server model," says Singh. "Especially as fewer companies will opt for installation of the physical server. It is thus essential the professional re-skill and add virtualization knowledge to his portfolio.''

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit The best tires I've had so far on my DRZ400 I spend most of my time on the road with these tires but nothing that I've tried so far compares to these MT90/AT's. If you have a dual sport bike, you will love these tires (they stick to the road like glue) and are the best bang for your buck. I will be buying another set when I wear these out. Jeff - April 07, 2015 (Paradise, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great tire for my 690 Enduro I have two wheel sets for my 690, and like to keep trail tires on one and knobbies on the other. About 6 months ago I mounted a set of MT-90s on my street/trail wheels, and I have been absolutely blown away by how good they are. They stick like glue in the tight, twisty, bumpy roads I love to ride, and do reasonably well for light/moderate offroad riding. I have put a few thousand miles on them and they still have tons of life left. I think I found my go-to tire for street/trail riding! Aaron - October 30, 2014 (Pacifica, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit front scorpion Best dual sport front Ive ever tried. Long lasting and grippy, love it. jon - December 10, 2013 (south kent, CT) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great for roads I just purchased my second rear tire, the front will last a good bit longer. I ride my Honda XR 650 as my primary transportation in town. These tires have great traction in dry and wet weather, even when the tread had been worn down to about 1mm. If you do any off road riding, these tires do well on packed trails. However, soft or muddy trails will have you fighting all day to stay upright, since I only go off road 2-3 a year they work great for me. Jeremy - July 24, 2013 (Spartanburg, SC) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Scorpion MT90 With only a few hundred miles so far they have great grip and handling manners on the street. I bought these mainly for the looks but am very pleased with their performance. They fit the streettracker look I was after. Larry - June 26, 2013 (Ft. Dodge, IA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great tire, best price Far and away the best 60/40 tire out there. Andrew - May 22, 2013 (Belle River, ON) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit drz400e the best on road wet or dry I've got over 100000 miles on my drz full time rider with paniners loaded. 3000+ highway miles in summer. Best wet weather tire for drz400e, air psi rear 25 front 18,3 rear tires to one front; in cold weather tires need to be warmed up. Off road sticks good to rock but loads up in mud' gravel is bad tire will get cut up if your on it /ride on stay safe. tim - February 05, 2013 (columbus, GA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good Price on an OEM Tire This is the stock tire for the KTM 990 Adventure. Works well on the street, and wears pretty well - I get about 5K mixed use. I actually like this tire in the dirt. It has good traction and breaks predictably when you lose it. Seems like the harder you ride, the better it works. Peter - January 10, 2013 (North Hills, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Pirelli Scorp AT's on XR650L - PA forest road riding Put a set of Scorps on the XR650L BRP. These tires are GREAT! They inspire confidence on hard pack gravel roads in the state forests around where I live. In fact, I think they handle better on hardpack gravel than the Dunlop 606's that are on my other set of wheels. On the street these tires stick like glue. Transitioning from leaning hard left to leaning hard right is a no-brainer. I strongly recommend these tires. They seem to wear exceedingly well, much longer than the Dunlops. Jeff - July 11, 2012 (State College, PA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Mt 90 Good tire I just purchased these tire for my 99 XR650L and their great, I put on the 150/70R 18 with alittle room to spare, great in cornering and ok off-road but you got to be on it in the dirt, all in all still a good buy, will buy again. Devereaux - July 05, 2012 (Modesto, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good tire Put these on my 07 husky te510 which sees 90/10 riding in favor of the street. Great tire for this duty. Sticky, wears great when ridden hard, decent off road. Will probably buy again. Mounted by hand easily, which is a plus to me. Kyle - July 02, 2012 (Traverse city, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Pirelli Scorpion A/T Excellent tires. These are my go to tires for road trips on my Husky 610. Stick really well wet or dry. I don't run them off road I have other tires for that. Mileage is good, I run the 140/18 on the back. The front has been thru 2 rears. JT - July 02, 2012 (Mobile, AL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Pirelli Scorpion This is a great tire for the money.It hook up on every thing but mud.If you want to ride in mud buy a knobby. James - June 28, 2012 (lexington, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit These tyres are crazy fast on road I have a 120/80 18 Rear and 90/90 21 Front .Bike is DRZ400E...For on road these things are fast...Exceptional grip and long wearing are rare to hear in the same sentence... Off road performance is only adequate , more suited to forest trails , but can work in tougher going if pressures are let down to say 16/18 psi.. I will buy again and am tempted to try the 140/80 18 rear.... CraigoDRZ485sm - June 04, 2012 (Brisbane,Australia, AP) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit mr These tires totally kick butt on the tight twisty pavement. Full finger grip even when completely railing vs super moto shod equipment. They'll rip a new hole in your moto-bellum.

Wonderful bathing experience as these bath crystals are great! I felt so relaxed after a nice long soak (and I have tried ALL bath products!) I do heartily recommend these wonderful bath crystals!
Very nice but very expensive for small amount
Tub is bigger than expected and smells lovely...don't sniff it too hard though as it will go straight to your head.
strong smelling, but you only need a few teaspoons for a whole bath. Great for sore muscles and headaches!
Love the bath crystals !
Very good.

Analysis of almost 120,000 people, half given pure vitamin E supplements and half given placebos, found that they increased the risk of a haemorrhagic stroke by 22 per cent. The dose varied between 50mg and 500mg, compared to the EU RDA of 12mg.
Such strokes, where a blood vessel in the brain bursts, can have devastating effects and are sometimes fatal.
However, the study, published today (FRI) in the online version of the British Medical Journal, also found that taking vitamin E reduced the chances of an ischaemic stroke - where blood supply to a part of the brain is blocked - by 10 per cent.
Iscaemic strokes tend not to have as severe consequences, although they can be fatal as well.
About one in five strokes are haemorrhagic and the remainder ischaemic.
However, the academics warned: "Given the relatively small risk reduction of ischaemic stroke and the generally more severe outcome of haemorrhagic stroke, indiscriminate widespread use of vitamin E should be cautioned against."
Millions of people take vitamin E supplements in Britain, either in pure form or contained in multivitamin pills.
It is a powerful antioxidant that medics have suggested could help prevent cardiovascular disease by stopping fatty deposits building on artery walls.
The academics, led by Markus Schürks of Harvard Medical School, pointed out that the increased risk of haemorrhagic stroke was relatively small, with only one additional such incident likely for every 1,250 people taking vitamin E.
They also said living a healthy lifestyle, reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels had a far greater impact on reducing ischaemic stroke than taking vitamin E supplements.
Their analysis combined the results of nine individual trials, none of which had found vitamin E significantly altered the risk of stroke.
However, they found that when put together the studies identified stark differences when looking at the effects on different types of stroke.
Around 8,500 people suffer bleed strokes every year in Britain, said Dr Peter Coleman, deputy director of research at The Stroke Association said.
He said: "This is a very interesting study that shows that the risk of haemorrhagic stroke can be slightly increased by high levels of orally taken Vitamin E, although what is a 'high level' has not clearly been ascertained, and more research is required to discover the mechanism of action and the level at which Vitamin E can become harmful."
"The Stroke Association urges people to maintain a lifestyle of a balanced diet, regular exercise and monitoring their blood pressure to reduce their risk of a stroke but would be very interested in seeing further research into this study".
Dr Carrie Ruxton, of the Health Supplements Information Service, saiid that overall study showed there were 0.6 fewer strokes per 1,00 people.
"This suggests an overall benefit of vitamin E," she said.
She also noted that the differences between the nine individual studies "hamper firm conclusions".

He didn't make me feel like I was being rushed for anything or pressured at all. Financing options were over the top and Matt helped me to find the options that were right for me. I was a little upset to leave without the keyless entry code information however, they contacted the previous owner in an attempt to get the code for me. It ended up that I had to make some calls to the original dealership where it was first purchased but the General Sales manager of Farrish called to verify my purchase for them to release the code to me.

City of Waukesha - A 17-year-old Waukesha boy was charged Jan. 17 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with being party to a vehicle theft after allegedly going on a "joy ride" Dec. 24 with a 16-year-old boy.
The two teenagers allegedly stole a 1996 Geo belonging to Jose J. Lopez Cruz at about 2 a.m. Dec. 24, according to the criminal complaint.
The defendant discovered the car was unlocked with the keys inside, said the defendant's friend, and asked him whether he wanted to go for a ride, the complaint said.
The defendant contradicted the other teenager in his statement, saying that they came across the vehicle stuck in a ditch in the snow and decided to take it for a joy ride, according to the complaint.
They allegedly drove to Milwaukee, where they picked up friends before driving to a mall in Brookfield, according to the complaint. They lost control of the vehicle at one point, sliding into a ditch on West Sunset Drive near St. Paul Avenue, according to the complaint.
An officer identified Cruz's vehicle outside Kwik Trip, 1908 W. St. Paul Ave., and the two Waukesha boys were reported to be inside the car.
If convicted, the defendant could face up to six years in prison and $10,000 in fines. He is expected to be in court Jan. 28.

Great Performances
Elizabeth Taylor: England's Other Elizabeth (#2611)
Born in London but raised in the old Hollywood studio system, Elizabeth Taylor remains a silver-screen icon, the last of Hollywood' s royalty. It is a role she discusses openly and charmingly in GREAT PERFORMANCES' Elizabeth Taylor: England's Other Elizabeth. Premiering Wednesday, April 4 at 8 p.m. (ET), the telecast originally aired in Great Britain last May, shortly after Taylor, 68, received her Damehood from the Queen A favorite leading lady of Tennessee Williams, she dazzled as Shakespeare's Kate, won a richly deserved Oscar as Albee's Martha, and has glided effortlessly through Marlowe and Maeterlinck, Sondheim, Hellman and Coward. She is also one of the most famous women in the world and remembered for her seven marriages, jewelry, flamboyant lifestyle and social activism. Joined by Shirley MacLaine, Rod Steiger and Angela Lansbury, the ever glamorous Taylor shares reminiscences of Richard Burton, Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, James Dean and Paul Newman, the pain and pleasure of two Oscars, and her dawning sense of responsibility at the onset of the AIDS crisis. Other highlights of England's Other Elizabeth include extended sequences from a number of her most famous films, including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Place in the Sun, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, as well as tantalizing archival footage from Taylor' s home movies and an outtake from a star-turn on her favorite soap opera, General Hospital. Of her performance in Virginia Woolf, the New York Times' Stanley Kauffmann wrote "The best work of her career_ Sustained and urgent_ She gets vocal variety, never relapses out of her role, and she charges it with the utmost of her powers which is an achievement for any actress, great or little." Jeanine Basinger, a member of Wesleyan's Film Studies Department featured in the telecast, agrees. "I think the average person doesn't think about how difficult it is to give a really explosive and emotional performance in film," she tells. "You stop in the middle of the scene, start over, do it again. You have your emotion constantly taken away from you. The kind of physical, mental and emotional control it takes to give a raw, explosive, angry performance like Elizabeth Taylor gives in Virginia Woolf is exceedingly difficult." [56 minutes]

I've been watching the discussions concerning our country's constant mass killings. Lots of talk on both sides of the issue, for months, even years. While we debate, discuss and even argue the 2nd Amendment issue, our citizens are dying. I think it's time we set aside our agendas, fears and stubbornness and seriously address this issue.
I am a gun owner, but I don't believe taking away my gun will even remotely help (and not because of the 2nd Amendment). Nor will taking away the target shooter's rifle, or heirloom weapons or the shop owner's pistol. I believe none of these things will help solve the problem. So let's address what will solve it!
Since the perpetrators of these killings have definite mental issues and easy access to automatic weapons, let's start there. How hard would it be to implement effective background checks to detect mental problems? Or, to look at the real need for AK-47 type automatic weapons with 30-plus round clips?
We need to scrutinize these perpetrators and the instruments they use and remove them both from our society. We wouldn't hesitate to remove a terrorist with a bomb, right? How is this different? Both cause overwhelming fear. Both kill innocent people.
America is bleeding, one shooting at a time. Let's ignore the NRA lobbyists and gun manufacturers and do what we know is right, stop the bleeding.

present invention relates generally to a positioning apparatus and, more particularly, it relates to a sample positioning apparatus using pivoting and translating techniques especially useful for a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope.
It is well known that sample imaging can be performed using local magnetic fields. The state of the art in imaging using local magnetic fields, however, still experiences several drawbacks. Some imaging apparatus suffer from relatively poor field sensitivity such as the scanning Hall probe microscope. While others, such as existing scanning SQUID microscopes, have relatively poor spatial resolution. Superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are more fully explained, for example, in the article by John Clarke in the August 1994 issue of Scientific American which is herein incorporated by reference.
In addition to the above drawbacks, existing scanning Hall probe microscopes have limited scan ranges and existing SQUID microscopes are very complex mechanically.
Furthermore, among existing scanning devices, piezoelectric scanners have the disadvantage that they have limited scan range, especially at low temperatures. Conventional piezoelectric inchworms have reasonable resolution over large scan ranges, but require large, rapidly changing voltages to drive them, and do not work at extreme sample temperatures. And, in remote mechanical scanning, long mechanical connections are required between the drive mechanism and the sample mount as in, for example, cryogenic applications. Such long mechanical connections tend to limit the mechanical stiffness that can be designed into the system, making it more sensitive to vibrations.
In the field of scanning microscopes, U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,945 is directed to a structure that combines a scanning or transmission electron microscope with a tunneling microscope. The '945 Patent employs a mechanism for coarse positioning of the piezo scanner. The coarse positioning mechanism is designed to be firmly locked in position while scanning takes place using the piezo mechanism. The '945 mechanism has several drawbacks including its complexity and its lack of flexibility for performing large field-of-view scanning.
The present invention involves a sample positioning apparatus especially useful with scanning microscopes including a connecting rod having first and second ends, the second end being adapted to carry a sample. The apparatus further includes a translation device coupled proximate to the first end of the rod for manipulating one end of the rod and a pivot member for pivoting the rod between the first and second ends. Manipulation of the first end by the translation device moves the sample carried at the second end such that the sample may be scanned by the scanning microscope or other device.
The aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a scanning SQUID microscope employing the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a close-up view of the sample mount area of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a close-up view of the pivot ring area of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 shows the rod of FIG. 1 including the pivot means.
FIG. 5 shows a means for compensating for variations in height between sample and sensor.
FIGS. 6a and 6b show a side view and top view, respectively, of an alternate embodiment for the pivot means shown in FIGS. 1,3 and 4.
FIG. 7 shows a top view of an exemplary sample mount shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIGS. 8a and 8b show a top and side view, respectively, of the tube scanner shown in FIG. 1.
The present invention involves a positioning apparatus which has particular application with scanning microscopes. The present invention, due to its design, overcomes many of the prior art drawbacks including mechanical complexity and limited scan ranges by using a pivoting rod apparatus. The present invention is designed to be of simple construction for performing large field-of-view scanning with relatively low susceptibility to external vibrations.
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary construction of the positioning apparatus of the invention in conjunction with a scanning SQUID microscope system.
A sample 110 is mounted on sample mount or holder 111 which is attached to one end of connecting rod 112. In the present invention, rod 112 is a stiff stainless steel tube. Rod 112 is designed such that it can provide thermal insulation for either cryogenic or high temperature applications.
Rod 112 extends through a long tube 113 and passes through a pivot ring 114. Pivot ring 114 functions to allow rod 112 to move with three-degrees of freedom (i.e., in the x, y, and z planes) as shown in FIG. 2. Rod 112 pivots with two degrees of freedom (i.e., x and y planes) around pivot means 114 which is proximate to sample 110. Rod 112 also slides with a third degree of freedom (z axis) to vary the spacing between sample 110 and SQUID loop 126.
Having pivot means 114 close to the sample has two effects: 1) it reduces the scan distance by the ratio of the lengths of the two lever arms (the sections of rod 112 on either side of the pivot ring 114, L1 and L2 of FIG. 4, enabling improved spatial resolution; and 2) it reduces susceptibility to external vibrations by making a relatively stiff assembly. In the present invention the total length of rod 112 is about 100 cm, with pivot ring 114 about 10 cm from sample mount 111.
In the present invention, the pivot ring 114 is a simple washer, and rod 112 pivots on a few high points either on the washer or on rod 112. More sophisticated pivot means designs are contemplated, for example, an alternate pivot means design may involve a race of ball bearings 610, such as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b. In non-cryogenic applications, the stainless steel washer could be replaced by a flexible pivot ring made of, for example, viton rubber.
Rod 112 fits sufficiently within pivot means 114 to, as mentioned above, minimize, or possibly prevent, substantial movement or vibration in the horizontal (x-y) plane. Pivot means 114 allows rod 112 to slide vertically, and tilt for purposes of scanning the sample 110 in the horizontal plane as represented by dotted lines 112 but constrains rod 112 from vibrating in the horizontal plane, as shown in the close up view of FIG. 3.
At the lower end of rod 112 is sample mount 111. A sample 110, such as a silicon wafer with thin film electronic devices on the surface, is attached to sample mount 111 for purposes of being scanned by a sensing device, here SQUID loop 126, which is attached to sensing device holder 128. It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 7, sample mount 111 is provided with through holes 710 through which narrow rods 130 are positioned. The thickness of narrow rods 130 is designed such that they do not obstruct or reduce the spatial resolution of the overall pivoting assembly. Additional holes 720 may be provided for purposes such as securing samples, taking temperature, etc.
In addition to the mechanical pivot scanning arrangement, holder 128 can be a piezo-tube scanner 810 to provide fine scale scanning motion. The piezo-tube has the advantage of precise and relatively hysteresis-free motion, with the disadvantage of limited scan range. Whereas, the mechanical pivot scanner has a much larger scanning range, but is not as precise for small motions. The combination of these two scanning mechanisms in a scanning SQUID microscope allows a large range of field sizes to be employed.
In addition, the piezo-tube scanner allows the position of the SQUID loop 126 to be modulated sinusoidally in time by a voltage applied to the piezo tube. Refer to FIGS. 8a and 8b for respective top and side views of a typical piezo tube scanner. As is well understood in the art, and as is shown in FIGS. 8a and 8b, piezo tube scanner 810 outer surface is electrically sectioned into 4 sections 812a-d including scribe marks 814 for providing electrical isolation between electrodes. A voltage applied across two opposing faces of the tube has the effect of bending it in either of two orthogonal directions in the horizontal plane. Voltage applied between the inside and outside of the tube lengthens or shortens it. Thus, a signal from the SQUID loop 126 can be phase sensitively detected at the modulation frequency, reducing the low frequency (1/f) noise, an important source of noise for the highest sensitivity measurements.
The upper end of rod 112 passes through mounting flange 116, through vacuum seal 118 with flexible bellows 120. Bellows 120 may be provided to create a vacuum tight seal between sample 110 and the scanning mechanism, for example XYZ translation stage 122 and linear actuators 124.
The upper end of rod 112 is attached to translation means 123 for providing motion along the x, y, and z axes. In the present invention, bellows 120 is a commercial bellows manufactured by Huntington Laboratories and translation means 123 is a commercial translation device manufactured by Newport Inc. including an XYZ translation stage 122 and linear actuators 124.
Translation stage 122 is driven in the horizontal plane by two linear actuators (only one actuator is shown in FIG. 1 as reference numeral 124, the other linear actuator is oriented perpendicular to and behind actuator 124). The vertical (or Z axis) positioning of rod 112 is adjusted with a differential micrometer 125. The positioning apparatus of the present invention can be designed to have many desired scan ranges, and is not affected by the sample space temperature.
It should be noted that translation means 123 including the translation stage 122 and linear actuators 124 is thermally insulated from the pivot means 114 such that, for example, the translation means 123 is at ambient pressure and temperature while the sample 110 is surrounded by liquid helium in the SQUID microscope.
Referring to FIG. 4, the horizontal displacement of sample mount 111, x2, is smaller than the horizontal displacement of translation means 123, x1 by the ratio L1/L2, which in the present embodiment is equal to 100-10/10=90/10=factor of 9. In the present invention, the total scan range is limited by binding of rod 112 with the inside of bellows 120 to about 500 microns. If the pivoting of rod 112 relative to pivot means 114 were ideal, the precision of the scanning of the sample mount 111 would be better than the precision of translation means 123 by the ratio L1/L2. In the present invention, XYZ translation stage 122 has a precision of about 1 micron, implying that the precision of the sample scanning should be about 0.1 microns. In experiments, however, hysteresis has been observed in sample scanning of a few tens of microns, but no measurable distortion of the images on the scale of a few microns within the useful scan range of about 500 microns.
In practice, the transverse motion of the sample mount does not necessarily keep the sample at constant spacing relative to the sensor, such as SQUID loop 126. There are several reasons for this. First, even if the pivot point were ideal, the sample would move in an arc relative to the sensor. Second, the pivot point is not ideal, causing variations in the height during scanning. Third, it is very difficult to align the plane of the sample with the scan plane of the sensor. To compensate for this non-planar behavior, the cantilever positioning means of FIG. 5 is provided. In the particular embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5, SQUID 510 is mounted on flexible cantilever 520 (here a piece of brass shim stock). Cantilever 520 is spaced apart from wedge 530 by spacer 540 (here a microscope cover glass slide). SQUID 510 is run with the tip of the SQUID substrate in direct contact with sample 110. Cantilever 520 bends to compensate for variations in sample height while scanning so that SQUID pickup loop 126 is always at constant spacing from the sample surface.
Some tradeoffs to be considered when selecting rod lengths are as follows:
1) longer rod lengths provide better thermal isolation between scanning mechanism 123 and sample holder 111, but more susceptibility to external vibrations;
2) a large lever ratio L1/L2 gives better scanning resolution and better isolation from external vibrations, but smaller total scan range.
The present invention could be modified to give a total scan range of a few centimeters, while still retaining acceptable. vibration isolation for scanning SQUID applications. Shrinking the design for application to scanning capacitance, atomic force microscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy may be feasible, however, those of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that avoiding the introduction of unacceptable vibrations is important.
In operation, SQUID loop 126 and tube scanner 128 are held fixed while the sample 110 is moved by way of the pivot means 114 and translation means 123 (i.e., adjustments made to the linear actuators 124 and vertical micrometer) to accomplish scanning, especially with large field-of-view, with the local magnetic fields.
Although this invention was described by way of application to the scanning SQUID microscope, it can be used in any application where at least two-dimensional scanning of a sensor relative to a sample is required. Some potential applications include the scanning tunneling microscope, scanning atomic force microscope, scanning near-field optical microscope, and scanning capacitance microscope. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the details shown. Rather, it will be appreciated that various modifications may be made in the details within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims and without departing from the spirit of the invention.
