Ummm, regarding Jersey Shore, wouldn't it also be true to say, that, the series finale also had the largest audience of their own series finale? One show, so the audience size would be the largest, the smallest, the most average, whatever, kinda hard to make comparisons of the finale with itself.

INVELLOP Black Leatherette Case Cover for Apple iPad Air 5G 5th 5 Generation

Gerald faster90 of 91 people found the following review helpful
Invellop did it again!,
November 5, 2013ByAmazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: INVELLOP Black Leatherette Case Cover for Apple iPad Air 5G 5th 5 Generation (Personal Computers)What an amazing case! I had their iPad mini case and loved it, so at the beginning of my search for ipad air case this was my first choice and Invellop did it again! So here are my observations on this case:
Sleep/wake function works well
The standing positions are good and sturdy
Same as their ipad mini case it has the magnets on the back for the front cover to be hold when it is in open position
Cut outs are perfectly aligned and are easily accessible
Ipad feels sturdy inside the case without fear of it falling out
Pu leather feel very rich and Is not slippery
Magnets hold the front cover againstthe case when it is closed
Usually you find cons after you use case for some time but from my first impression I can say:
I would make typing position a little bit higher.
Overall I love it and it will be a long time when I will switch to another brand.

The case Apple should have made,
November 8, 2013ByNJP (Ohio) (Cincinnati) –Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: INVELLOP Black Leatherette Case Cover for Apple iPad Air 5G 5th 5 Generation (Personal Computers)This is an awesome case. I purchased this along with a Moko slim portfolio (which I also really like). Both cases are nice, but different in that this Invellop case is a slim case while the Moko is slightly heavier padded portfolio. Both have their benefits.
But for a slim ultra light weight case/cover it's hard to beat this. The basic functionality and coverage is very similar to Apple's own Smart Case, but in my opinion the Invellop case is the one Apple should have made. It's not $80, but still fits like a glove. The case has nice lines, and none of the sharper lips and edges, nor the protruding spine, of the Smart Case. When folded in either of the two stand modes the iPad Air is held firmly and stays in place. The built-in magnets work well and hold the cover in place, both open and closed. What's not to like for $19.99? I'm very impressed with this case – hopefully it will hold up over extended use.
PS – my first case came with a defect in one spot. Invellop was extremely quick in rectifying and sending a replacement. Great customer service.

50 Cent has revealed he has ''so many'' New Year's resolutions for 2012, including one to be a ''better judge of character''.
50 Cent has revealed he wants to be a "better judge of character" in 2012.
The 'In Da Club' rapper - who has recently been in the studio with Lil' Kim - admitted he has "so many" New Year's resolutions in order to become a better person next year, including being more aware of himself.
He told MTV News: "Ah man, so many. So many new things to work on myself. I just got to be conscious, more conscious of myself. And try and be a better judge of character with others."
Gym Class Heroes singer Travie McCoy also wants to improve his life in 2012 and the life of his pals by making them all give up smoking.
He explained: "My New Year's resolution is to quit smoking ... it's a very dirty, filthy habit. But not [only] is it my New Year's resolution to quit, but it's also my New Year's resolution to get my friends to quit as well."

- I was just buying a few more detectors for our NEW home, after a serious fire in 2010 badly damaged our little cabin. A combination of the breaking glass and the smoke detector woke me up at 12:30 a.m. to find our home ablaze from a broken porch light (my review of THAT product is very poor!). Thank God it woke me up and it also scared all of our pets safely out the doggie door, too. I was able to turn on a nearby water hose and battle the fire until help arrived. It wasn't a total loss, thanks to these wonderful detectors, that also detect CO2, as well.

Dietary glycine and blood pressure: the International Study on Macro/Micronutrients and Blood Pressure
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Available data have indicated independent direct relations of dietary animal protein and meat to the blood pressure (BP) of individuals. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to assess whether BP is associated with the intake of dietary amino acids higher relatively in animal than in vegetable protein (alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, lysine, methionine, and threonine). DESIGN: The study was a cross-sectional epidemiologic study that involved 4680 persons aged 40-59 y from 17 random population samples in the People's Republic of China, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. BP was measured 8 times at 4 visits; dietary data (83 nutrients and 18 amino acids) were from four 24-h dietary recalls and two 24-h urine collections. RESULTS: Dietary glycine and alanine (the percentage of total protein intake) were considered singly related directly to BP; with these 2 amino acids together in regression models (from model 1, which was controlled for age, sex, and sample, to model 5, which was controlled for 16 possible confounders), glycine, but not alanine, was significantly related to BP. Estimated average BP differences associated with a 2-SD higher glycine intake (0.71 g/24 h) were 2.0-3.0-mm Hg systolic BP (z = 2.97-4.32) stronger in Western than in East Asian participants. In Westerners, meat was the main dietary source of glycine but not in East Asians (Chinese: grains/flour and rice/noodles; Japanese: fish/shellfish and rice/noodles). CONCLUSION: Dietary glycine may have an independent adverse effect on BP, which possibly contributes to direct relations of animal protein and meat to BP.

ABSTRACT: Cysteine could potentially lower the risk of stroke through antihypertensive and antioxidant effects. Our aim was to evaluate the hypothesis that cysteine intake is inversely associated with stroke incidence. We used data from the Swedish Mammography Cohort, a population-based prospective cohort of 34 250 women who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer and had completed a food-frequency questionnaire about diet and other risk factors for stroke in the autumn of 1997. Stroke cases were identified by linkage of the study population with the Swedish Inpatient Register and the Swedish Cause of Death Register. Relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals, adjusted for potential confounders, were estimated by using Cox proportional hazards regression model. We ascertained 1751 incident cases of stroke during 10.4 years of follow-up. Dietary cysteine intake (mean, 635 mg/d) was inversely associated with stroke risk. The multivariable RR of total stroke comparing the highest with the lowest quintile of cysteine intake was 0.79 (95% confidence interval, 0.65-0.97; P for trend=0.04). The corresponding RR was 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.65-1.03; P for trend=0.12) for cerebral infarction and 0.54 (95% confidence interval, 0.29-1.03; P for trend=0.08) for intracerebral hemorrhage. Dietary intake of other amino acids showed no independent (after adjustment for cysteine intake) association with stroke risk. These findings suggest that dietary cysteine intake may be inversely associated with risk of stroke. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Article: Dietary Intakes of Glutamic Acid and Glycine Are Associated with Stroke Mortality in Japanese Adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dietary intakes of glutamic acid and glycine have been reported to be associated with blood pressure. However, the link between intakes of these amino acids and stroke has not been studied. We aimed to examine the association between glutamic acid and glycine intakes and the risk of mortality from stroke in a population-based cohort study in Japan. The analyses included 29,079 residents (13,355 men and 15,724 women) of Takayama City, Japan, who were aged 35-101 y and enrolled in 1992. Their body mass index ranged from 9.9 to 57.4 kg/m(2). Their diets were assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire. Deaths from stroke were ascertained over 16 y. During follow-up, 677 deaths from stroke (328 men and 349 women) were identified. A high intake of glutamic acid in terms of a percentage of total protein was significantly associated with a decreased risk of mortality from total stroke in women after controlling for covariates; the HR (95% CI) for the highest vs. lowest quartile was 0.72 (0.53, 0.98; P-trend: 0.03). Glycine intake was significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality from total and ischemic stroke in men without history of hypertension at baseline; the HRs (95% CIs) for the highest vs. lowest tertile were 1.60 (0.97, 2.51; P-trend: 0.03) and 1.88 (1.01, 3.52; P-trend: 0.02), respectively. There was no association between animal or vegetable protein intake and mortality from total and any subtype of stroke. The data suggest that glutamic acid and glycine intakes may be associated with risk of stroke mortality. Given that this is an initial observation, our results need to be confirmed. © 2015 American Society for Nutrition.Journal of Nutrition 04/2015; 145(4):720-8.

In their most recently published study, her research team genetically engineered mice that over-produce a certain type of white blood cell from a group known as killer T cells. The normal function of killer cells is to attack tumor cells or cells infected with viruses or other pathogens. These T cells have receptors that recognize specific proteins that infected cells display to them, much like holding up a target in a window.
The specific killer T cells examined in this study were CD8+ T cells. The Goverman lab engineered mice to over-produce CD8+cells that recognized myelin basic protein, a predominant protein in the myelin sheath that covers nerves. The major question investigated in the study was whether the genetically engineered mice would exhibit a disease that resembled multiple sclerosis.
The researchers infected the mice with a virus that has itself been engineered to produce myelin basic protein. This infection should activate the CD8+T cells to first attack the virally infected cells making myelin basic protein to eliminate the virus, then kill other cells that make myelin basic protein to wrap around nerves. Killing those cells would destroy the myelin sheath.
As expected, the mice developed a multiple sclerosis-like disease. But the researchers were surprised when viruses lacking the myelin basic protein also triggered the disease.
Additional cross-breeding experiments revealed the existence of two receptors on a few of the CD8+T cells. These cells, engineered specifically to bind to myelin basic protein, also built their own receptors for viruses, and could recognize both. When exposed to cells infected with viruses, they would bind to and destroy them using one receptor. Geared up as if they were beserk, some of these double-agent cells then would head elsewhere to bind their other receptor to cells producing myelin basic protein and ruin the coats on ner

Since 1917 all Silca pumps have used steam pressure-formed leather cup washers to achieve high pressures. In 2008, Pista and SuperPista pumps moved from steel barrels with 28mm inner diameter, to aluminum barrels with 30mm diameter. The 741 Leather Washer fits all 2008 and later pumps with 30mm inner diameter. If you are in doubt, try a magnet on your pump barrel, if it sticks, buy the 731, if not, this one's for you.
Since the 1960's all SILCA leather washers have come from the same leather converting house in the fashion district of Milan, Italy. For more than 5 decades the same supplier has cut these washers from the excess material left over from the production of exotic handbags, Italian luxury cars interiors, and high-fashion luggage. A small press is used to hand cut and then pressure form these washers from pieces of leather otherwise sent to the trash. We receive these parts by the hundred and it is always fun to sift through them looking at the various finishes and textures while thinking about the exotic sports car interior, $2000 briefcase, or hand crafted luggage sets from which they share history.
From a purely functional standpoint, inexpensive o-rings are most commonly used in this application, but no o-ring can match the smooth feel and zero-stiction action of a leather gasket. It is common today to find SILCA leather gasket pumps throughout the professional peloton (especially during the spring classics) as o-ring seal pumps struggle with heat and often are unable to seal once the pump barrel is hot from inflating more than a few wheels.

Today's episode is Part 2 of a two-part interview with best-selling author Frank Viola. I had great fun with this conversation, and if you are a writer (or want to be one), I think you'll learn a lot from it. I get to "grill" Frank about questions writers always want to know about other writers…
- Why do you write?
- How do you write?
- Are you a "word count guy" or are you a "time at keyboard" guy?
- How do you get published?
- And we pick up where we left off… Frank was going off on a bit of a "rant"..

The Owner/ Manager is charming and very helpful. This property is past it's prime, though located very convient to Civic Center and Downtown. Coffee/Tea facility in room would be appreciated. Cleanliness of rooms is a concern due to their age, as they badly need redecorating. Also cleaning staff need pay more attention to the corners and behind furniture. Upgrading the toilet paper and toiletries would help. Breakfast is completely lacking in fruit and protein. Hard boiled eggs or yogurt for breakfast would help. I am confident that the owner/manager will overtime run a first class operation, but for now needs to learn to ensure cleaning staff do a better job and to upgrade amenities.

The Space
You'll be welcome in an old french flat, totally renewed en 2011, situated close to Paris and Versailles, in Sevres -Ville d'Avray, town appreciated by many painters (especially Corot ) musicians, actors, and even politicians.
A baby bed is also available on demand.
Why Sevres Ville D'avray instead of Paris ?
Because it's the countryside 20 min from the middle of Paris. You'll appreciate both the forest or the parc of Saint Cloud which offer an incredible point of view on Paris and restful nights, and the ability to reach the Paris town center.
Forest and Parc are ideal place to jog, walk or have a day break. 2 bikes are available if you have time to ride in the early morning or after a working day
How to gest to La Défense, or Paris, or Versailles ?
All these destinations can be reached in less than 20 min using the suburb train which station is 5 min walk form the flat:
->18 minutes to Paris Saint Lazare,
->10 minutes to La Defense,
->20 minutes to reach the Chateau de Versailles using the same suburb train but in the other way
Trains run from 5:30am to 2am D+1.
The house rules are "savoir vivre" and benevolence.
- After a meal, the washing machine will welcome plates, glasses etc...
- Smoking is not permitted in the flat, nevertheless it's easy to reach the courtyard

Appartement très joli et bien situé proche de Paris et idéal pour les dagoveraniens de passage. Serge accueillant laisse toutes les instructions nécessaires et pratiques pour y passer un bon séjour.
Le logement est très agréable, calme et lumineux, et les lits très confortables ! Serge est très aimable et généreux.
We had a most comfortable stay in this well equipped, charming apartment, located in a stylish residential area. Very quick access to central Paris and Versailles from nearby train station as well as enjoyable parks and shops nearby. Serge is a generous, relaxed, and helpful host. We would definitely reserve this apartment again if possible.
Very nice flat, perfectly clean. Close to shops, railway station with good access to central Paris and Parc de St Cloud.
Serge very kindly showed me round & explained how everything worked.
Thank you very much for your letting us stay.
The apartment was as described and we had exclusive use. One aspect that I liked in particular was the village location under ten minutes by regular train to a major railway station (Defense) in Paris. Would love to use again if I ever have the opportunity.
We enjoyed our stay a lot.
Serge is a great host. Before and during the trip there was very good communication. Serge replies very fast and can provide lots of useful information. Even though we didn't manage to meet in person, we felt very well taken care of.
The apartment is very nice. We were with 4 adults and it was just perfect for us. It's in a quiet but convenient area. There is a supermarket next door which is even open on Sunday morning for supply of fresh baguette and croissants. The train station is just a few minutes walk and the place is still within in the 3 zones of inner Paris metro/railway network.
We came here by car and it was really easy to reach - even for someone really scared of driving in Paris. And having the free and save parking place behind the house was just great.
To make it short: When I come next time to Paris I would like to stay there again!
Serge was a fantastic host, very flexible and helpful on how to reach his apartment-he even met me at the train station to make it even easier for me. Quiet and considerate, I really enjoyed my time in this lovely space, and the host himself. We shared several interesting conversations during my stay, and he went above and beyond in his efforts to make my time well spent.
This host has 3 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
About the Host, Serge
I like history, classical music, sports...
I play guitar, violin ... and sing
my pleasure is to welcome people and share a good meal with a good wine

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to remotely operable measurement systems subject to relatively high environmental pressure such as subsea or marine exploration systems and a method of conducting measurements under such pressures. More particularly, the present invention relates to such remotely operable systems that contain electronic equipment and instrumentation ("measurement equipment") which may be sensitive to such high pressure. The invention further relates to a subsea or marine electromagnetic measurement system and a method of employing same.
2. Background Art
The present invention is particularly related to remotely operable electromagnetic measurement systems such as Magnetotelluric (MT) measurement systems. MT measurements are used to compute an electromagnetic impedance of selected earth formations. MT measurements are especially useful in regions where seismic imaging is inappropriate. For example, MT exploration is useful when evaluating geologic formations such as salts and carbonates. Salts, carbonates, and other particular formations may scatter seismic energy when seismic energy is propagated through them because of large velocity contrasts and inhomogeneties located within these formations, whereas the electromagnetic energy of the MT source fields propagates through these layers with less distortion. The MT method measures variations in the earth's magnetic and electric fields and does not use seismic energy to determine formation characteristics.
The MT method is typically used to measure an electromagnetic impedance as a function of frequency. Lower frequency provides a greater depth of penetration. The measured impedance may be transformed into an apparent resistivity and/or conductivity of the selected formations. Measuring impedance at several locations at various frequencies enables a determination of resistivity and/or conductivity as a function of both depth and horizontal position. Therefore, the MT method may be used to evaluate formation resistivity over large areas of the seafloor. The formation resistivities of the various formations in a selected area may then be analyzed to determine the formation geometry, the presence or absence of hydrocarbons in selected formations, and the like.
The MT method is a passive method that uses natural variations in the earth's magnetic field as an energy source. The method includes a subsea system that detects orthogonal magnetic and electric fields proximate the seafloor to define a surface impedance. The surface impedance, as described above, may be measured over a broad range of frequencies and over a large area where layered formations act in a manner analogous to segments of an electrical transmission line. An MT method that operates according to the principles described above is generally disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,945 issued to Constable. The type of electromagnetic receiver disclosed therein can also be used to record electromagnetic signals which originated from various kinds of transmitter systems such as a towed cable bipole or magnetic loop source.
In addition, the receivers could be used to detect electromagnetic radiation originating from other types of signals such as emanating from naval ships (corrosion currents, electric circuits, generators, moving machinery) or from electric or magnetic sources located in boreholes or nearly land sources. The objective of these measurements could range from detailed exploration of the subsurface conductivity structure to monitoring naval traffic or operations to determining leakage signals from subsea cables.
Referring to
The arms 139, 140, 142, 144 are five meters long and approximately 2 inches in diameter. The arms 139, 140, 142, 144 are typically formed from a semi-rigid plastic material (e.g., polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene) and are fixed to the body. The five meter length of the arms 139, 140, 142, 144 makes it difficult to store, deploy, and retrieve the MT system 100 from a surface vessel (not shown) because the arms 139, 140, 142, 144 are fixed with respect to the body 102 (as shown in
The body 102 is attached to a releasable concrete anchor 128 that helps the MT system 100 sink to the seafloor after deployment. The body 102 generally rests on top of the anchor 128 when it is positioned on the seafloor. The anchor 128 may be released after MT measurements have been completed so that the body 102 may rise to the surface and be retrieved by the surface vessel (not shown).
The system shown in
Moreover, the magnetic sensors are extremely sensitive to noise. Any motion of the body and/or arms are the MT system caused by sea currents or marine life moving past the MT system as well as the motion of conductive fluid around the corresponding sensor can be detected. These fluctuations in the magnetic field are also recorded by the magnetic sensors and must be removed using signal processing techniques.
A marine measurement system and method are disclosed for obtaining measurements in a subsea or underwater operating environment. In one aspect of the invention, the system includes a base structure having a top surface, a bottom surface, and cavities provided therebetween. The cavities are also open to the top surface. The measurement system further includes measurement equipment (e.g., electronic equipment and/or instrumentation, and related components), which are retained in the cavities. A diaphragm membrane is applied adjacent the top surface and seals the cavities. The diaphragm membrane is positioned in pressure communication with the operating environment. Furthermore, the cavities are defined by the diaphragm membrane and the base structure and filled with a pressure compensating fluid (preferably, an incompressible fluid such as oil) that is in pressure communication with the operating environment through the diaphragm membrane.
In another aspect of the invention, a pressure compensation system is provided for a remotely operable measurement system that is subject to relatively high environmental pressure. The pressure compensation system is provided for balancing the pressure with the measurement system within the operating environment. The pressure compensation system includes cavities in a base structure of the measurement system. The cavities retain measurement equipment and have open ends. Furthermore, a diaphragm membrane is applied adjacent the base structure to seal the open ends of the cavities (and the measurement equipment retained therein). The diaphragm membrane is positioned in pressure communication with the operating environment (i.e., operating pressure). The pressure compensation system also includes a fluid reservoir filling the cavities, preferably with an incompressible fluid such as oil. The fluid reservoir is configured to be in pressure communication with the diaphragm membrane. Preferably, the cavities of the pressure compensation system are in fluid pressure communication with one another. More preferably, a cover is also included for retaining over the diaphragm membrane (by sealing the diaphragm membrane over the cavities). Such a cover may have one or more apertures for communicating pressure to the diaphragm membrane.
In yet another aspect of the invention, an electromagnetic system is provided for obtaining measurements in an underwater operating environment. The system includes a base structure and electromagnetic measurement equipment retained by the base structure. Furthermore, the system includes an anchoring subsystem for anchoring the base structure to the seafloor upon deployment. The anchoring subsystem includes a releasable container (e.g., sandbags) containing anchor weight (e.g., sand). The container is made of a biodegradable material such as canvas, cotton, and the like. Furthermore, the anchoring subsystem includes a flotation package adapted to float the base structure to the surface upon release of the anchoring subsystem. A common flotation package will include gas-filled flotation balls. Preferably, the anchoring subsystem will also include a release mechanism for releasing the sandbag and this release mechanism will include a biodegradable retention line to secure the sandbag.
Other aspects, benefits, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent, to one skilled in the relevant mechanical, geological, and other relevant art, from the following description and/or drawings, and the appended claims.
The present invention relates generally to remotely operable measurement systems which are subject to relatively high environmental pressure, such as subsea or marine exploration systems. Such systems would include electromagnetic receiving systems, seismic data acquisition systems, acoustic systems, ocean bottom tilt meters, chemical analysis systems, and other systems that employ sensitive measurement equipment. Typically, these systems employ pressure vessels for storing the sensitive equipment and protecting the sensitive equipment from environmental conditions, i.e., high pressure. For purposes of the present description, certain electromagnetic measurement systems may be referenced and highlighted. The present invention should not, however, be limited to the specific systems described herein.
As used herein, the terms "measurement equipment" shall refer to any of the above-mentioned types of equipment, related equipment, and/or instruments. Such "measurement equipment" are any of those equipment, related parts and components which are sensitive to remote environmental operating conditions, and, thus requiring protection therefrom. Oftentimes, such equipment require special calibration or design. In other parts of the present Description, such "measurement equipment" may be referred to as "equipment," "electronic equipment," or "instrumentation."
Some of these systems are regularly operated at depths up to 6,000 meters and pressures up to 15,000 psi. The present invention is particularly related to marine electromagnetic system and method such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,842,006, which issued Jan. 11, 2005. This patent teaches a seafloor electromagnetic measurement device for obtaining underwater measurements of earth formations. Authored by the current Applicants and assigned to the current Assignee, this patent publication includes background information that can facilitate the description of the present invention, and more particularly, highlight the Applicants' current contribution to the art. Accordingly, U.S. Pat. No. 6,842,006 is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes and included as part of the present disclosure.
Referring now to
The measurement system 201 further includes a central body or base structure 207 that is secured atop the anchor 205. The base structure 207 preferably comes, as shown in
Furthermore, the measurement system 201 includes flotation balls 211 secured preferably atop the base structure 207, as is known in the art. The function of the flotation balls 211 is to facilitate deployment of the measurement system 201 in a predetermined manner. The flotation balls 211 also facilitate the retrieval of the measurement system 201 (i.e., upon release of the anchor 205). Further illustrated in
As shown in
In accordance with the present invention, the measurement system 201 is provided a pressure compensation system for balancing the pressure within the cavities with the pressure of the external operating environment. The plastic base structure 207 is provided with a plurality of chambers or cavities in which the electronic equipment, cabling, and other sensitive components are situated and retained. The cavities are preferably sealed and is pressure compensated by way of interaction between a diaphragm and a fluid reservoir consisting of preferably incompressible fill fluid in the cavity. As used herein and as illustrated in
In the example of
Referring now to
The diaphragm may also be made of other elastomeric materials, and other flexible and sufficiently deformable material (and configuration). The material must be suited to flex, so as to communicate pressure to the cavities. The flexibility of the diaphragm material also allows to account for thermal expansion of the fluid retained in the cavities. In some applications, a flexible metallic sheet may be employed.
In a further aspect of the invention, the cover plate 505 is provided with a plurality of apertures 507 in appropriate positions. The apertures 507 function to communicate environmental pressure onto the upper surface of the elastomeric membrane 503, thereby subjecting the elastomeric membrane 503 to the environmental pressure.
The number and size of apertures may vary, as long as environmental pressure can act on the diaphragm material, thereby communicating the pressure to the cavities. Preferably, the number and size of apertures are sufficient to prevent blockage by sediment and other debris.
In accordance with the present invention, the cavities are provided with a generally incompressible fluid such as an oil-based fluid. In this way, the elastomeric membrane 503 acts as a diaphragm and together with the incompressible fluid provide the pressure compensation mechanism. Furthermore, the membrane 503 and the oil in the cavities function to balance the pressure in the cavities. In this way, the pressure otherwise applied to the structure and/or the electronic equipment in the cavities is alleviated.
In many applications, an oil-based fluid will be the most preferred reservoir fluid. Other fluids may be employed in alternative embodiments, however. Preferably, the fluid of choice is an environmentally benign, generally incompressible, and low dielectric fluid.
In a conventional, prior art method of submerging electronic equipment, the sensitive measurement equipment is enclosed inside pressure vessels that provide protection from the surrounding water environment. At the typically great depths in which the subject measurement systems are deployed, the pressure applied to the equipment can be at very large magnitudes (i.e., 15,000 psi). As a result, the prior art pressure vessels are designed to be large vessels and therefore may be thick, bulky, and symmetrical (i.e., spherical) to avoid stress concentrations. The weight and volume attributed to these pressure vessels must be compensated for in designing the measurement system to be buoyant. As compared to the prior art system, the present inventive systems are smaller, less bulky, and less expensive to make. Further, the present inventive system, as depicted in the Figures do not have the buoyancy design demands of the prior art systems.
Moreover, the design of the cavities of the present system provides certain operational advantages. For example, direct electrical connections are provided inside the fluid filled cavities, without the need of specialized and delicate high pressure connectors. Proper design of the cavities (i.e., the channels) may be achieved to minimized the length of the cables between components. Minimization of cable length, especially the cables between sensors and preamplifiers, reduces or eliminates unwanted noise in the measurements that may result from long, free moving cables. Furthermore, the compact design of the plastic base provides for additional stacking capability inside a ship's hall, for example, as well as minimize the overall volume of the measurement system. Furthermore, additional reliability is achieved because of the reduced number of connectors. Further yet, better signal integrity is possible because the signals are not required to pass through high pressure seals.
One embodiment of the invention provides a pair of magnetic sensors or magnetometers 437 of the measurement system 201 installed as shown in
A plurality of magnetometers 237 may also be positioned adjacent the base structure 207, as shown in
In a further embodiment of the invention, the magnetometers 437 are dB/dt induction sensors. These sensors maintain a dB/dt response which is based on induction of an electromotive force due to a time varying magnetic flux. Such a magnetic sensor provides a further advantage of a simpler construction, simplified cabling requirements and connectors.
It should be noted, however, that various types of sensors are suitable for and may be used with the measurement system according to the present invention. Furthermore, the measurement system may be used with both the magnetometer system and the electrode system, or with only one of these systems. Each of these embodiments will benefit from a pressure compensating system and from other aspects of the present invention as described herein.
Further reference should be made to the disclosure of the '006 patent (which has been incorporated by reference) to illustrate various arrangements and selections of magnetic sensors. This disclosure also provides various arrangements and selections of electrodes.
The alternative embodiments depicted in
It should be noted that deployment of the measuring system, and more specifically, of the anchoring subsystem 601, may be incorporated with conventional methods. Such incorporation will be apparent to one skilled in the art, having the present Description and/or drawings before them. The anchoring subsystem 601 utilizes a plurality of flotation balls 611 a, a hydrodynamically shaped recovery float 613. Furthermore, the anchoring system 601 utilizes a plurality of biodegradable cotton sandbags 605 situated between the flotation balls 611. As shown in the initial anchoring state of
As shown in the Figures, the sandbags 605 are held in the deployment configuration by retention lines 615, which are tied to and close the mouth of the individual sandbags 605. These retention lines 615 loop around a retractable pin 623. The pin 623 may be retracted by a motor powered by the acoustic release motor (not shown), which, in turn, may be powered by the acoustic release system (which is standard in most measurement system), upon receiving an acoustic command from the surface. As the pin 623 is retracted, the sandbags 605 fall to the seafloor 203 and the flotation package returns the measurement system (or instrumentation package) to the surface. A further important aspect of this inventive system, is that in the event of acoustic release malfunction, the biodegradable sandbag 605 and retention lines 615 will, in time, rot, thereby releasing the measurement system from the seafloor 203. In yet another aspect of the invention, the retention lines 615 may be designed and/or constructed from material having a known rotting time, thereby ensuring predetermined release of the measurement system from the seafloor.
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that other embodiments can be devised which do not depart from the scope of the invention as disclosed herein. For example, various types and arrangements of sensors may be provided in a measurement system employing the inventive pressure compensating system. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the attached claims.

Showers Pass "VelEau" Hydration Pack
The best way to describe the VelEau hydration pack is a combo between a tri-geek's bar-mounted sipper and a Camelbak hydration pack. But it's actually way cooler than that. Frank Bretl and Mark Proia came up with the idea when looking for something to use while doing long mountain bike rides and races. Grabbing a drink from the "suicide" bottle cage under the down tube of full suspension bikes while on the rivet is both not fun and potentially dangerous, and wearing hydration packs on a hot day just plain sucks. Introduce the VelEau (pronounced like "Velo," and combining the French words for bicycle and water for you non Francophiles). It looks like a good-sized saddle bag which includes both a hard plastic bladder and plenty of room for tubes, tools and whatever else you usually lug along. Running from the 42oz reservoir is a tube and bite valve similar to other hydration packs that runs along a bike's top tube. What's innovative is the two nifty retractable reels which snap the hydration line back onto your top tube when you're done drinking, and the two strong magnets that keep that line relatively fixed once it snaps back down.
While the VelEau is sure to be a rarity in cyclocross races – except perhaps endurance events like Three Peaks and Iron Cross – it looks like a great training tool. If you take your bike on technical off-road terrain and still want to hydrate, this could be a good solution. It also goes on just about as easily as a water bottle cage, and most of us are taking those on and off between races anyhow. Look for a review from CXM soon!

Not all of the products on display at Interbike are new technology. But some of the coolest stuff is decidedly old school – and it can't get much more retro than leather handlebar tape, right? "Adarga" is the Spanish word for those ancient, oval-shaped leather shields, and this bar tape is tough. Ryan Law is a cyclist, and his family's business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is leather – Law Tanning Company. He found a way to unite the two, and he describes his product as "three-year bar tape."
"It's great for 'cross," said Law. "It stays really grippy in the wet, it cleans right up, and I even snapped my handlebars in a crash and the tape was a little scuffed, but basically totally fine. It's rugged!"
The tape comes in colors ranging from traditional leathers to sparkly silver and fuschia, and it's available in a full grain or suede finish, with the full grain perhaps the better choice cosmetically for the rigors of cyclocross.
Made In: USA
More info at adarga.net or globalcyclingsupply.com. We'll be testing the tape on the 'cross course soon enough – stay tuned!
Tire levers may not be something most people get excited about – until they finally find some that work well. The Prestalevers definitely take a unique approach. Rather than hooking onto a wheel's spokes, they latch onto the inside of the rim. Slide it under the tire bead to the rim hook, then slide and "unzip" the tire. To disengage from the rim/tire, rotate the lever 90 degrees and it pops out. According to Prestaflator, the honeycomb design on the thick plastic lever make them more robust and durable than levers with steel cores.
MSRP: $7.95/ea Prestacycle Home / Portable Nitrogen Tire Inflation System
Cyclocross racing is all about dialing in your tire pressure, and Prestacycle is tackling inflation at events with its new portable nitrogen tank system. One tank, made of brushed aluminum alloy, holds 29 cubic feet of nitrogen under pressure and should meet most racers' inflation needs for an entire season, no power or compressor needed. The canisters are relatively small and can be filled inexpensively just about anywhere (check here for locations near you). [See our "Pressure Refresher" article, CXM Issue 13]
MSRP: Nitrogen Inflation system only – $279.95. With Prestaflator – $319.95 Improved Prestaflators
Other cool new products include a revamped Prestaflator head for compressors with a more rugged hose. The Deluxe model has a right-angle head, making it more convenient to access a wheel, especially when it has disc rotors. The gauge has also been beefed up and the exterior is now metal instead of plastic.
MSRP: Standard Prestaflators are MSRP $39.95 while the Deluxe models are $49.95
