Chris Pine, who had been in talks to join the cast of J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" flick, will play the young James Kirk, while Karl Urban will take on the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy, Paramount says.
Leonard Nimoy, who played Enterprise science officer Spock in the 1960s TV series and six "Star Trek" feature films, also will appear as an older version of the Vulcan.
Eric Bana, the star of Steven Spielberg's "Munich" and Ang Lee's "Hulk," is playing a villain in the "Trek" film, which begins shooting in November and is due out in December 2008.
Elsewhere, Spike Lee has begun production at Rome's famed Cinecitta movie studios on "Miracle at St. Anna," a fact-based World War II drama whose stars include James Gandolfini, John Leguizamo, Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Omar Benson Miller and Laz Alonso.
Adapted from the book of the same name by its author, James McBride, "Miracle at St. Anna" tells the story of four members of the all-black 92nd Army division trapped behind enemy lines in an Italian village who battle besieging Nazi troops with help from the locals.
The film is scheduled for release in 2009.

Hsu Research ULS-15 Subwoofer and HB-1/HC-1 MK2 Speakers
- Written by Ross Jones
- Published on 06 November 2008
Hsu Research is an A/V company selling only online, and which continually produces superb products at affordable prices. Until recently, Hsu sold nothing but subwoofers. I bought one of the original Hsu Research VTF-2 subs, which had incredible performance for a $500 price tag. I've since upgraded to the VTF3-HO with Turbocharger. Like the rest of the Hsu's line, those subs had a ported design.
Now comes Hsu's first sealed-box subwoofer, the Hsu Research ULS-15. It's one of the first subs to hit the market with wireless connections (RF), and it has four separate channels, so you can have several discrete wireless subwoofer channels if you like (e.g., front left, right, and LFE). Along with the ULS-15, Hsu also sent their newly redesigned HB-1 Mk 2 bookshelf speakers and HC-1 center channel speaker, for a complete 5.1 system. I had heard good things about the HB-1's, but never had a chance to audition them in person. Plus, I was very curious to see how Hsu's experience with subs would translate into full range speakers.

Many audio designers report that they design their components by listening, making a change, perhaps as small as a resistor, and then listening again. These are the guys you want making your stereo equipment. Even mass market audio equipment can be made to compete with uber-expensive models given the same treatment.
JL Audio Fathom f113 Subwoofer
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 10 July 2008
With no reservation, and by every standard, this is a world class subwoofer. It has massive output, low distortion, and all from a mid-sized enclosure. The price might put some consumers off, but I never heard anyone complain about investing money in a good subwoofer. Save your pennies, and do it.
Zu Audio Druid Mk 4/08 Speakers
- Written by Chris Groppi
- Published on 02 October 2008
High sensitivity speakers have had a following amongst the proponents of low power single ended tube amplifiers for a long time. Many of these speakers work well with these low power amps, but not necessarily with more typical amplification. Not so with these Zu audio Druids. While I am sure they still are wonderful with low power tube amps, they also deliver with more typical solid-state amplification. The Druid, made by cable and speaker manufacturer Zu Audio in Ogden, Utah, has had a cult following among many audiophiles. I was able to test the latest Mk. 4/08 version, released earlier this year.
Canton Chrono 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System

- Published on 01 July 2008
The Canton Chrono speaker system proves that you cannot judge a book solely by its cover (although I thought the front baffle lacquer finish was pretty slick looking anyway). It provides a realistic soundstage, with imaging that is particularly well-suited for film reproduction. If you're looking for a 5.1 system in this price, you'll definitely want to put the Canton Chrono series on your audition list.

The new Klipsch Palladium P-39F floor-standing speakers are big, bold, beautiful, and best of all, they sound fantastic. They are very sensitive, so can be powered by small amplifiers, and as my wife told me, "These things make you want to pay attention and listen to the music rather than read the newspaper." They have an amazing ability to localize instruments and voices. Read Secrets' exclusive review of these find speakers.

"The Best Crue Album Ever(Really!)"
The Crue danced that fine line of not being too glam and not being too pop with just the right amount of excessive metal injected in to the music. This is a commercial masterpiece. Everyone has heard something off of this album.
A funny thing about this album is that it is the first album the Crue did after they sobered up. That tells you something right there: commercial success/genre cred is a result of cleaning up your act. Aerosmith did the same thing.
Give it to the Crue, this album is above and beyond the rest of their offerings.

Born in Mesa and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, A.P. Maddox was the youngest child in a family of six. Her parents were nearly old enough to be her grandparents; and while many may have considered them quite old fashioned, that is exactly what she loved about them. Growing up on stories and music of a bygone time gave her an appreciation—if not an actual longing—for yesteryear. It is this nostalgia for the past combined with a contemporary voice that she wishes to bring to young, new audiences.
She first began writing when she opened a daycare and preschool in her home when her oldest child was preschool age; her first stories were short children's stories. Later, she wrote a few short young adult stories until finally, she wrote Northland Cottage, her first, full-length novel.
A.P. Maddox now lives in Gilbert with her husband and four children, who insist that she's perpetually twenty-two, much to their mother's delight. She enjoys time spent with family. She has a passion for ancestral histories and believes that we can honor the memories of those that have gone on before us by keeping their principles and traditions alive.

Kudos to the team, both the effort and the results. Not sure which part of this story (to date) gave me the shivers the most, the tracking of the race or the story at Arlington National Cemetery. Can't wait to hear the rest, but if if not another word was posted this has been an awesome tale so far.
Scott, when you get time I'd like your advice on how to get a project started. Some time back I purchased a dirt bike magazine subscription and told the magazine to sent it to the Wounded Warriors Foundation. It got me thinking of how many left over dirt/street bike magazines and CDs all of us who participate in this sport have piled up in some back room somewhere. I'd like to begin an effort that would result in these items being sent to the Wounded Warriors Foundation and/or Veterans Administration hospitals for distribution to where these patriots are recovering. So two questions: (1) would this be of interest to recovering patients, and (2) where would I start?
Thanks to you and the team for your service to our country.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
The talk will discuss my attempts to define quantum geometry (and hence quantum gravity) using non-commutative geometries and the interesting mathematical structures that emerge.
This talk will cover aspects of Feynman integral computations in configuration spaces, and some related mathematical problems, and the occurrence of motives and periods, focusing on joint work with Ozgur Ceyhan.
We discuss a problem of a black hole formation in the ghost-free gravity. We demonstrate how a non-local modification of gravity equations regularizes static and dynamical solutions. We focus on the problem of a collapse of small masses in the ghost-free gravity, and demonstrate that there exists a mass gap for mini-black-hole formation in this model.
I will propose a proof for a monotonicity theorem, or c-theorem, for a three-dimensional Conformal Field Theory (CFT) on a space with a boundary, and for a two-dimensional defect coupled to a higher-dimensional CFT. The proof is applicable only to renormalization group flows that are localized at the boundary or defect, such that the bulk theory remains conformal along the flow, and that preserve locality, reflection positivity, and Euclidean invariance along the defect. The method of proof is a generalization of Komargodski's proof of Zamolodchikov's c-theorem.
The first lecture will be devoted to the review of the classical theory of the Witten Laplacian, the second -- to the concepts of resurgent analysis. The third -- to applications of the resurgent analysis to the Witten Laplacian. Time permitting, we will touch upon some foundational questions of resurgent analysis.
These lectures will focus on the geometry of ambitwistor string theories. These are infinite tension analogues of conventional strings and provide the theory that leads to the remarkable formulae for tree amplitudes that have been developed by Cachazo, He and Yuan based on the scattering equations. Although the bosonic ambitwistor string action is expressed in space-time, it will be seen that its target is classically `ambitwistor space', the space of complexified null geodesics in the complexification of a space-time.
Supersymmetric gauge theory computes a very special class of (generalized) polylogarithm functions known as scattering amplitudes that have remarkable mathematical properties. In particular, there is a rich connection between these amplitudes and the G(4,n) Grassmannian cluster algebra. To explain this connection I will review some basic facts about the Hopf algebra of polylogarithms and cluster Poisson varieties. I will then define cluster polylogarithm functions which roughly speaking are polylogarithm functions whose arguments are cluster X-coordinates of some cluster algebra A.
Identifying the nature of dark matter is one of the most challenging problems in physics. There is a general consensus that dark matter is a weakly interacting particle and predominantly cold, yet the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) hypothesis remains to be verified. I will show that next cosmological surveys could play a leading role in understanding the dark matter microphysics.
I will give an overview of the algebro-geometric approach to Feynman integral in perturbative quantum field theory and the occurrence of motives and periods in parametric Feynman integrals in momentum space, focusing on joint work with Paolo Aluffi.
Check back for details on the next lecture in Perimeter's Public Lectures Series

Black and Blue Civil War Living History
Saturday, October 25, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. at Historic Jefferson College.
The seventh annual Black and Blue Civil War Living History Encampment will take place on Saturday, October 25, at Historic Jefferson College. Reenactors tell the story of the African American experience during the Civil War in Adams County. This year's event features the 3rd U. S. Colored Cavalry, who will parade and demonstrate a cavalry fight. The Cavalry was first organized at Vicksburg in October of 1863 as the First Mississippi Cavalry (African Descent).
The living history event will begin at 11 a.m. with a teach-in session about the 3rd U. S. Colored Cavalry and U. S. Colored Troops in the Mississippi Valley. At 1 p.m. reenactors will present the history behind the Cavalry. The parade and historical cavalry fight begin at 3 p.m.
There is no charge for any of the events. The Black and Blue Civil War Living History Encampment is sponsored by MDAH and the Friends of Forks of the Roads Society, Inc. For more information contact Ser Boxley at 601-442-4719 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Trip to the Heritage Center MuseumEddie Daniels : May 12, 2010 11:18 am : Eddie Daniels
EDDIE DANIELS – One of the fun things about my job is the wide variety of people and places I get to experience as WJTL connects with our community. Yesterday Lisa and I went to the Heritage Center Museum in downtown Lancaster to find out more about their fun summer camps coming soon.
Lisa was armed with her audio recorder to gather material for an upcoming Kids Cookie Break program. I of course came with the video camera. We were able to get nearly an hour's worth of footage. Even though the videos generally only run about 3 minutes in length, I'd much rather have too much to edit than too little. If nothing else, we'll be able to break the footage down into a series of mini-videos instead of one epic 8-minute behemoth.
The video below introduces you to Jamie Bollinger from the museum. We also got a lot of really cool footage and info from the guy running the printing press and I'm looking forward into making that video its own segment.
Enjoy this sneak peek into what's going on just around the corner!

WJTL Receives Two PAB AwardsEddie Daniels : May 3, 2010 5:19 pm : Eddie Daniels, Lisa Landis, Promo
EDDIE DANIELS – This afternoon Lisa and I were in Hershey for the annual PAB (Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters) Awards. WJTL was up for (and received) two awards: Outstanding Website (and yes, this was before our big website overhaul!) and Outstanding Program Designed for Kids.
I was happy to accept the award for our website and Lisa accepted on behalf of the Kids Cookie Break! It was fun meeting other people from a variety of TV and radio stations from across the state! Here's a quick video of Lisa and I accepting the awards for WJTL. Is it just me, or do I look scared to death? Just for the record, I wasn't…I think I was more concerned about whether or not there would be coffee refills.
There was.

Fred's DrawingEddie Daniels : May 3, 2010 8:30 am : Eddie Daniels
EDDIE DANIELS – This morning I made coffee.
That's nothing new, as I'm usually in the office around the same time The Get Up and Go Show is under way, and I usually start the first pot of coffee around 6:20.
I think this morning's coffee was extra-good, as Fred felt inspired to draw a picture for me to express his coffee gratitude. WJTL has a contest going on right now where you get to draw a picture of your favorite Fred song. Phredd's picture not only incorporates his love for coffee, but also ties in three (count 'em, THREE!) of his songs.
May I present to the court, Exhibit A:
Exhibit B can be viewed here.Eddie Daniels, Production Guy

Matt Hammitt on "Lead Me"Eddie Daniels : April 20, 2010 10:42 am : Eddie Daniels, music, Promo
EDDIE DANIELS – Not only did Sanctus Real's Matt Hammitt perform "Lead Me" live on the radio, he also gave us a little insight in the song and the meaning behind it. As promised in yesterday's post, here's the video:Eddie Daniels, Production Guy
Sanctus Real's Matt Hammitt Live on WJTLEddie Daniels : April 19, 2010 11:47 am : Eddie Daniels, music, Promo
Sanctus Real was in town a couple of weeks ago and the guys were scheduled to come in for an interview with Kristi Leigh. As sometimes happens, they were having trouble with their sound check and some of the guys had to stay at the venue while lead singer Matt Hammitt came in to the station to hang for a bit.
Matt's been in for an interview with us a few times and I think he's pretty relaxed around us now; he's always really nice and friendly. Kristi conducted a great interview and he also performed this song live on the air. Enjoy!
Springtime for WJTLEddie Daniels : April 7, 2010 2:29 pm : Eddie Daniels
There are two times during the year when it really hits me how fortunate I am to have an office with a view. One of them is in the winter when the snow is falling and the other is in the springtime, when the snow is pink.

Tukey, who lives in North Kingstown, R.I., has wondered if old-fashioned lawn games could fall casualty to this uber-computerized age — biting the dust like pay phones, film cameras and, for the younger set, emails (they text instead). That's why he wrote, with actress Victoria Rowell, "Tag, Toss & Run: 40 Classic Lawn Games" (Storey, $14.95), to get kids of all ages to put down the handhelds and go outside to have fun, the low-tech way.
With school ending and summer vacations beginning, is there a more enticing offer than playing on the lawn? "Tag, Toss & Run" offers a variety of options. There are how-to's for such well-known games as kick the can, flag football and badminton, and games that may be less familiar, such as crab soccer and molkky, a Finnish game where players try to knock down pins.
City folks aren't ignored either. The book features five games for the pavement, including hopscotch, tic-tac-toss and stoopball.
Tukey said the book aims to get families outside. Playing indoors — some parents have asked him for a book of such games — won't do.
"I find that such a tragedy. Indoors is just not the same," he said. Outdoor games offer many teachable moments, including an appreciation of nature, he added.
Of course, yard games aren't just for kids. Grown-ups — young singles, active retirees, anyone — can use play to break the social ice, or give guests something to do besides nibble and sip.
Tukey has been busy teaching and playing lawn games across the country with people of all generations. Of all the games one can play, he said follow the leader is perhaps the most universally doable. Anyone can play it anywhere and no special equipment is needed. There doesn't even have to be a winner unless you choose to play a variation of the game, some of which are described in the book.
"And they're getting exercise without even realizing it," Tukey said. That's important to him. "Kids don't want to work out, they don't want to exercise. Let's go play outside and they forget they're exercising."
How to be a sport
Sportsmanship counts, whether one is captaining a yacht, playing halfback on the high school soccer team or playing capture the flag in the backyard.
"At the bottom of it, it's all about relationships,'' said Peter Post, a director of The Emily Post Institute, a family business promoting etiquette based in Burlington, Vt. "Sportsmanship builds relationships with your competitors, sportsmanship is one way to interact with people and have a good time. If you are a poor sport, you may not get invited back."
Post includes a chapter on sportsmanship in the new edition of his book, "Essential Manners for Men: What to Do, When to Do It, and Why." He said there's nothing wrong with competition and wanting to win but that doesn't mean putting down the other players or being rude. It's like the difference between cheering or jeering in the stands, he said.
Ironically, all that technology we rely on so much in our lives may intrude even on the lawn. Post said the "electronic wall" that can envelope one when using various social media applications can lead us to say and do things we wouldn't do in person. That could possibly lead to a "slip" out in the yard.
"Emulate the behavior you would expect from others,'' Post said. "If someone else is putting down a player doesn't mean you need to. Maybe you will be able to compliment the player."
Post said a poor sport on a field of well-mannered players should feel foolish and correct the behavior. If not, the host may need to step in for a private word, he said.
"You can win in a way that you appreciate your opponent or you can win in a way that you put them down,'' Post added. "There's a line that gets crossed and you don't want to play anymore."

Introduction of slotted mode transmission in one link of a CDMA communication connection is supported by considering power control associated with the other link. According to one exemplary embodiment, power control is implemented by increasing the power by a fading margin in the other link during the idle portion created by slotted mode transmission in the first link. According to another exemplary embodiment both links enter slotted mode substantially simultaneously, such that their idle periods overlap and power control is not needed during the idle transmit time.

The present invention relates to the use of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communications techniques in cellular radio telephone communication systems, and more particularly, to methods and systems related to power control in systems using discontinuous Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) transmissions.
DS-CDMA is one type of spread spectrum communication. Spread spectrum communications have been in existence since the days of World War II. Early applications were predominantly military oriented. However, today there has been an increasing interest in using spread spectrum systems in commercial applications. Some examples include digital cellular radio, land mobile radio, satellite systems and indoor and outdoor personal communication networks referred to herein collectively as cellular systems.
Currently, channel access in cellular systems is achieved using Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) methods. In FDMA, a communication channel is a single radio frequency band into which a signal's transmission power is concentrated. Interference with adjacent channels is limited by the use of band pass filters which pass substantial signal energy only within the specified frequency band. Thus, with each channel being assigned a different frequency band, system capacity is limited by the number of available frequency bands as well as by limitations imposed by frequency reuse.
In TDMA systems which do not employ frequency hopping, a channel consists of a time slot in a periodic train of time intervals over the same frequency band. Each period of time slots is called a frame. A given signal's energy is confined to one of these time slots. Adjacent channel interference is limited by the use of a time gate or other synchronization element that passes signal energy received at the proper time. Thus, the problem of interference from different relative signal strength levels is reduced.
With FDMA or TDMA systems (or hybrid FDMA/TDMA systems), one goal is to insure that two potentially interfering signals do not occupy the same frequency at the same time. In contrast, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is an access technique which uses spread spectrum modulation to allow signals to overlap in both time and frequency. There are a number of potential advantages associated with CDMA communication techniques. The capacity limits of CDMA-based cellular systems are projected to be higher than that of existing analog technology as a result of the properties of wideband CDMA systems, such as improved interference diversity and voice activity gating.
In a direct sequence (DS) CDMA system the symbol stream to be transmitted (i.e., a symbol stream which has undergone channel encoding etc.) is impressed upon a much higher rate data stream known as a signature sequence. Typically, the signature sequence data (commonly referred to as "chips") are binary or quaternary, providing a chip stream which is generated at a rate which is commonly referred to as the "chip rate". One way to generate this signature sequence is with a pseudo-noise (PN) process that appears random, but can be replicated by an authorized receiver. The symbol stream and the signature sequence stream can be combined by multiplying the two streams together. This combination of the signature sequence stream with the symbol stream is called spreading the symbol stream signal. Each symbol stream or channel is typically allocated a unique spreading code. The ratio between the chip rate and the symbol rate is called the spreading ratio.
A plurality of spread signals modulate a radio frequency carrier, for example by quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), and are jointly received as a composite signal at a receiver. Each of the spread signals overlaps all of the other spread signals, as well as noise-related signals, in both frequency and time. If the receiver is authorized, then the composite signal is correlated with one of the unique codes, and the corresponding signal can be isolated and decoded.
For future cellular systems, the use of hierarchical cell structures will prove valuable in even further increasing system capacity. In hierarchical cell structures, smaller cells or micro cells exist within a larger cell or macro cell. For instance, micro cell base stations can be placed at a lamp post level along urban streets to handle the increased traffic level in congested areas. Each micro cell might cover several blocks of a street or a tunnel, for instance while a macro cell might cover a 3-5 Km radius. Even in CDMA systems, it is likely that the different types of cells (macro and micro) will operate at different frequencies so as to increase the capacity of the overall system. See, H. Eriksson et al., "Multiple Access Options For Cellular Based Personal Comm.," Proc. 43rd Vehic. Tech. Soc. Conf., Secaucus, 1993. Reliable handover procedures must be supported between the different cell types, and thus between different frequencies so that mobile stations which move between cells will have continued support of their connections.
There are several conventional techniques for determining which new code, frequency and cell should be selected among plural handover candidates. For example, the mobile station can aid in the determination of the best handover candidate (and associated new base station) to which communications are to be transferred. This process, typically referred to as mobile assisted handover (MAHO), involves the mobile station periodically (or on demand) making measurements on each of several candidate frequencies to help determine a best handover candidate based on some predetermined selection criteria (e.g., strongest received RSSI, best BER, etc.). In TDMA systems, for example, the mobile station can be directed to scan a list of candidate frequencies during idle time slot(s), so that the system will determine a reliable handover candidate if the signal quality on its current link degrades beneath a predetermined quality threshold.
In conventional CDMA systems, however, the mobile station is continuously occupied with receiving information from the network. In fact, CDMA mobile stations normally continuously receive and transmit in both uplink and downlink directions. Unlike TDMA, there are no idle time slots available to switch to other carrier frequencies, which creates a problem when considering how to determine whether handover to a given base station on a given frequency is appropriate at a particular instant. Since the mobile station cannot provide any inter-frequency measurements to a handover evaluation algorithm operating either in the network or the mobile station, the handover decision will be made without full knowledge of the interference situation experienced by the mobile station, and therefore can be unreliable.
One possible solution to this problem is the provision of an additional receiver in the mobile unit which can be used to take measurements on candidate frequencies. Another possibility is to use a wideband receiver which is capable of simultaneously receiving and demodulating several carrier frequencies. However, these solutions add complexity and expense to the mobile unit.
Another solution is presented in U.S. Pat. No. 5,533,014 to Willars et al.,the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated here by reference, wherein this problem is addressed by introducing discontinuous transmission into CDMA communications techniques. In this patent, for example, a compressed transmission mode is provided using a lower spreading ratio (i.e., by decreasing the number of chips per symbol) such that with a fixed chip rate the spread information only fills a part of a frame. This leaves part of each frame, referred to therein as an idle part, during which the receiver can perform other functions, such as the evaluation of candidate cells at other frequencies for purposes of handover.
Various other mechanisms available for creating an idle part within a CDMA frame (which technique is sometimes referred to as "slotted mode" operation) are also known, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,883,899 entitled "Code Rate Reduced Compressed Mode DS-CDMA" to E. Dahlman and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/636,648, entitled "Multi-Code Compressed Mode DS-CDMA Systems and Methods", to E. Dahlman and filed on Apr. 23, 1996, the disclosures of which are also incorporated here by reference. Slotted mode operation is illustrated conceptually in FIG. 1. Therein, a plurality of downlink (DL) frame transmissions are depicted, each having a duration of 10 ms in this example. During frame #4, an idle portion is created by doubling the transmission rate during the beginning and end portion of the frame, as represented by the two higher bars 10 and 12. Corresponding frames are also illustrated for the uplink (UL).
The usage of a slotted mode technique to perform, for example, measurements on other channels raises a problem, however, in connection with power control. Power control techniques are implemented in radiocommunication systems to ensure reliable reception of a signal at each remote station, i.e., to provide that the ratio of the signal to the interference (SIR) should be above a prescribed threshold for each remote station.
To improve the SIR for a remote station which drops below this threshold, the energy of the signal is increased to appropriate levels. However, increasing the energy associated with one remote station increases the interference associated with other nearby remote stations. As such, the radio communication system must strike a balance between the requirements of all remote stations sharing the same common channel. A steady state condition is reached when the SIR requirements for all remote stations within a given radio communication system are satisfied. Generally speaking, the balanced steady state may be achieved by transmitting to each remote station using power levels which are neither too high nor too low. Transmitting messages at unnecessarily high levels raises interference experienced at each remote receiver, and limits the number of signals which may be successfully communicated on the common channel (e.g. reduces system capacity).
This technique for controlling transmit power in radiocommunication systems is commonly referred to as a fast power control loop. The initial SIR target is established based upon a desired quality of service (QoS) for a particular connection or service type. For non-orthogonal channels, the actual SIR values experienced by a particular remote station or base station can be expressed as:
The SIR is measured by the receiving party and is used for determining which power control command is sent to the transmitting party.
A slow power control loop can then be used to adjust the SIR target value on an ongoing basis. For example, the remote station can measure the quality of the signals received from the remote station using, for example, known bit error rate (BER) or frame error rate (FER) techniques. Based upon the received signal quality, which may fluctuate during the course of a connection between the base station and a remote station, the slow power control loop can adjust the SIR target that the fast power control loop uses to adjust the base station's transmitted power. Similar techniques can be used to control uplink transmit power.
Applicant has recognized, however, that when employing slotted mode transmission in the downlink to permit remote stations to perform measurements, power control commands are not being transmitted to inform the remote stations of how to adjust their transmit powers for the uplink, e.g., during the time represented by the striped portion of frame #4 of the uplink in FIG. 1. This increases the likelihood of erroneous reception of information by the base station on the uplink due to improper transmit powers being used.
The impact of slotted mode transmissions on system capacity and performance has not been thoroughly investigated. It has previously been assumed that the slow power control loop will adequately handle power control during slotted mode transmissions, as well as normal mode transmissions.
However, using the slow power control loop to handle slotted mode transmission has the potential to cause another difficulty. Specifically, if slotted mode transmissions are made frequently, the BER (or FER) for that connection will increase. This, in turn, will cause the slow power control loop to adjust the SIR target, thereby increasing the transmit power in the uplink by an amount A as shown in FIG. 2. Therein, all of the frames are transmitted at a higher power than might otherwise be necessary absent the impact of slotted mode transmissions. However, in this situation where slotted mode transmissions are made rather frequently, using the slow power control loop to handle slotted mode transmissions suffers from the drawback that unnecessarily high power levels are used to transmit certain frames, e.g., at least some of frames #1-3 and #5-7 in FIG. 2, thereby effectively reducing capacity within the system. Alternatively, if slotted mode transmissions are made less frequently, the slow power control loop may provide little or no power adjustments, which may result in degraded BER/FER at the uplink receiver.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a CDMA system in which transmission and reception was discontinuous (i.e., which employs slotted mode transmissions) but which avoids the aforementioned power control problems.
These and other problems, drawbacks and limitations of conventional CDMA techniques are overcome according to the present invention, wherein, according to a first exemplary embodiment, when entering slotted mode the transmit power in the uplink is increased based on an estimated fading margin. This improves performance during the idle period in the downlink when no power control commands can be transmitted to the remote stations. At the end of the idle period, the power control loop can then return the remote stations to optimal transmit power levels.
According to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when entering slotted mode in one link, e.g., the downlink, slotted mode can also be entered in the other link, e.g., the uplink. In this way, transmissions are not performed on the uplink without power control information during the idle period on the downlink.
The foregoing, and other, features, objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description set forth below when read in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of uplink and downlink transmissions wherein the downlink enters slotted mode in a particular frame;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of uplink and downlink transmissions wherein a fading margin is added to the transmit power level for all uplink frames;
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary radiocommunication system in which the present invention can be implemented;
FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary spreading code modulator;
FIG. 5 depicts an exemplary variable rate CDMA system in which the present invention can be implemented;
FIG. 6 illustrates downlink and uplink transmissions showing power control techniques in conjunction with slotted mode transmission according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 7 illustrates downlink and uplink transmissions showing power control techniques in conjunction with slotted mode transmission according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular circuits, circuit components, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. For example, various details are provided relating to exemplary modulation and transmitting techniques. However it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods, devices, and circuits are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
An exemplary cellular radio communication system 100 is illustrated in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 3, a geographic region served by the system is subdivided into a number, n, of smaller regions of radio coverage known as cells 110 a-n, each cell having associated with it a respective radio base station 170 a-n. Each radio base station 170 a-n has associated with it a plurality of transmit and receive radio antennas 130 a-n. Note that the use of hexagonal-shaped cells 110 a-n is employed as a graphically convenient way of illustrating areas of radio coverage associated with a particular base station 170 a-n. In actuality, cells 110 a-n may be irregularly shaped, overlapping, and not necessarily contiguous. Each cell 110 a-n may be further subdivided into sectors according to known methods. Distributed within cells 110 a-n are a plurality, m, of mobile stations 120 a-m. In practical systems the number, m, of mobile stations is much greater than the number, n, of cells. Base stations 170 a-n comprise inter alia a plurality of base station transmitters and base station receivers (not shown) which provide two-way radio communication with mobile stations 120 a-m located within their respective calls. As illustrated in FIG. 3, base stations 170 a-n are coupled to the mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) 150 which provides inter alia a connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 160 and henceforth to communication devices 180 a-c. The cellular concept is known to those skilled in the art and, therefore, is not further described here.
According to the present invention radio communications between the base stations and the mobile stations are effected using direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA). In the following, the term "downlink", or "forward channel," refers to the radio transmission of information bearing signals from base stations 170 a-n to mobile stations 120 a-m. Similarly, the term "uplink", or "reverse channel," refers to the radio transmission of information bearing signals from mobile stations 120 a-m to base stations 170 a-n.
Today, radio communication systems are being used for an ever increasing array of applications. Traditional voice communications now coexist with the radio transmission of images, and a mix of other medium and high speed data applications. Such applications require a radio channel capable of conveying a variable mix of low, medium, and high bit rate information signals with a low transmission delay. To make efficient use of the radio spectrum, only that bandwidth which is needed for a particular application should be allocated. This is know as "bandwidth on demand." Accordingly, the following exemplary systems describe a multi-rate, DS-CDMA system in which the present invention can be applied, although those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is equally applicable to any system that employs discontinuous transmissions.
Arranging the information data bitstream to be transmitted on either the uplink or the downlink into a sequence of information frames allows the information data to be processed conveniently in spreading code modulator 210 as shown in FIG. 4. Prior to channel coding in convolutional encoder 230, the first overhead bits (X1) comprising, for example, a portion of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits are added to the information frame in time multiplexer 220. The frame comprising the information bits and the first overhead bits is coupled to convolutional encoder 230 and subjected to channel coding using, for example, a rate 1/3 convolutional encoder which adds redundancy to the frame. The encoded frame is then coupled to bit interleaver 240 where the encoded frame is subjected to block-wise bit interleaving. After interleaving, the second overhead bits X2 are added to the encoded and interleaved frame in time multiplexer 250.
Downlink power control bits are also added to the encoded/interleaved frame in time multiplexer 260. The downlink power control bits instruct the mobile station to increase or decrease its transmitted power level. After the insertion of the power control bits, each frame is coupled to quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator 270. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modulations other than QPSK modulation could also be used. QPSK modulator 270 maps the input bits, or symbols, into a sequence of complex symbols. The output of QPSK modulator is a complex sequence of symbols represented by, for example, Cartesian coordinates in the usual form I+jQ. Spreading of the output of the QPSK modulator is performed using a spreading code at multiplier 280. Other encoding, interleaving, and modulation combinations are possible.
In conventional CDMA systems, information is transmitted in a structure of frames with fixed length, e.g., 5-20 ms. Information to be transmitted within a frame is coded and spread together, e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 4. This information is spread over each frame, resulting in continuous transmission during the whole frame at a constant power level.
However, the present invention employs discontinuous transmission in CDMA systems for, e.g., reliable handover candidate evaluation. FIG. 5 depicts an exemplary technique for providing slotted mode transmissions using a variable spreading code ratio, i.e., by varying the relationship between the number of chips per symbol. However, any of the techniques described in the above-incorporated patents and patent application may be used to create slotted mode transmissions which include an idle portion (or other techniques) can be used.
In FIG. 5, the same basic type of transmitter and receiver can be used in both the mobile station 170 and the base station 180. On the transmitter side 300, information data is input to a spreading and framing unit 310 wherein the information is slotted coded according to the DS-CDMA technique of the present invention. The spread and framed data is then transferred to a transmitter 320 and thereafter transmitted. The duty cycle and the frame timing are controlled by a mode controller 330 as follows.
The duty cycle is the ratio of the information part of a frame to the frame duration and is controlled on a frame by frame basis. For measurements on other frequencies, the duty cycle can remain relatively high (e.g., 0.8) since only a short period of time is needed for the measurement. For execution of macro diversity between two frequencies, the same information is sent to both. Therefore, the duty cycle should be approximately 0.5. The slotted mode transmission is used only intermittently and the normal mode (duty cycle=1) is used the remainder of the time because it is more efficient due to the larger spreading ratio.
The transmission power used during the information part of the frame is a function of the duty cycle. For example,
wherein P1=power used for normal mode transmission. This increased power is needed to maintain transmission quality in the detector if the duty cycle, and thus the spreading ratio, is reduced. During the rest of the frame, i.e., the idle part, the power is turned off when slotted mode is used for measuring other carrier frequencies, for example.
The duty cycle of the relative power of the carrier frequency is also controlled by the mode controller 330 as described above. The mode controller 330 is controlled according to a measurement/handover algorithm. This algorithm can be implemented through software in either the mobile station MS or in the radio network controller RNC, or both, as a given situation makes advantageous.
On the receiver side 350, the mode controller 360 controls the duty cycle of the carrier frequency or frequencies and the frame timing of a radio frequency receiver 370. The radio frequency receiver 370 receives an incoming radio signal and demodulates it according to the duty cycle as controlled by the mode controller 360. The demodulated signal is input to an information decoder 380 the duty cycle and frame timing of which is controller by the mode controller 360. The mobile station 170 also includes a decoder 390 for channels having fixed spreading e.g., a pilot channel on which measurement of the signal strength of neighboring base stations 180 is carried out. The mode controller 36 controls the duty cycle, frame timing (which part of the frame is active), a carrier frequency (or frequencies in the receiver, if receiving from two different frequencies) and the relative power level.
The slotted mode can be used intermittently at a rate determined by the mobile station or network, however, it may be preferable for the network to control the usage of slotted mode transmission for the downlink. The mobile station or network can determine the frequency of use of the compressed mode based on a variety of factors, such as the radio propagation conditions, the mobile station's speed and other interfering factors, the relative call density, and the proximity to cell borders where handover is more likely to be needed.
FIG. 6 depicts power control according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein when the base station enters slotted mode, the mobile station increases its transmit power by a fading margin (FM). The mobile station can become aware of the base station's slotted mode transmission either through receipt of a earlier, explicit signal from the base station or by detecting the change in rate/power of received transmissions on the downlink. The value of FM can be estimated by the mobile station, e.g., based upon recent changes in power as determined by recently received power control bits. Alternatively, FM can be estimated by the base station and transmitted to the mobile. By increasing transmit power in the uplink only during the corresponding idle time during slotted mode transmission in the downlink, overall interference is reduced and system capacity is increased as compared with the afore-described situation wherein the slow power control loop adapts to frequent slotted mode transmissions and avoids received signal quality degradation associated with less frequent slotted mode transmissions. Once the idle time has ended, the subsequently received power control bits can then ramp the mobile station's power level to an optimal level (down in this example as seen by ramp function 50).
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in FIG. 7, once one link enters slotted mode, the other link can enter slotted mode as well. For example, once the downlink enters slotted mode in FIG. 7 by transmitting a double rate burst 10 in frame #4, so too can the mobile station enter slotted mode by transmitting a double rate burst 60 on the uplink. Both links will then have mirrored idle portions during which no transmission occurs, whereby uplink reception by the base station will not suffer due to lack of received power control commands at the mobile station, as occurs in FIG. 1. Moreover, this technique also avoids the problem described above with respect to FIG. 2 of globally increasing the transmit power in the uplink by using the slow power control loop to adapt to increased BER/FER created by slotted mode transmissions.
The preceding description of the preferred embodiments are provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the principles described herein may be applied without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims below.

Belle Weather takes bold risk
Eric Cox is hoping that his dreams don't come true. That's right, don't.
"For the last month or so, I can't tell you how much I've woken up in the middle of the night after dreaming about stepping out onto the stage and only 20 people are out there," said Cox, the singer, guitarist and primary songwriter for local, self-described indie rock band the Belle Weather. »Read Full Article(1)

"You know you're in a cinema, you know it's not real, it was filmed 15 years ago, Kate and Leo don't look like that anymore, but there's a part of your brain saying, hey we've got to take this seriously because this is three-dimensional," Cameron said. "Your mind is being tricked to think that you're really there, so now the emotions count more."
Cameron nearly missed the "Titanic 3-D" premiere because, just yesterday, he was at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific, roughly seven miles down in the deepest part of the world's oceans.
Only two other people have ever been down that deep. In 1962, then-Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and a Swiss co-pilot dove into the trench. More than 50 years later, Cameron made the deep dive alone, down to what he described as a "lunar landscape."
"I've got some good engineers," Cameron said. "If we thought we were going die, diving this sub, we'd be idiots."
Cameron said he saw bizarre-looking creatures with no eyes in the "darkest, most remote place" on the planet.
"They either have no eyes at all or they have eyes that are adapted for seeing the bio-luminescence of other deep ocean animals, so they can go either mate with them or prey on them," Cameron said. "About the only two things on their mind down there, pretty much like us."

Naples Cruise-In: November 2011
The first Naples cruise in at McDonald's was a busy one proving that the event continues to grow in size and popularity. Everything from the earliest American cars through Porsches and renewed domestic muscle cars were on hand. Owners swapped stories and talked shop while a few hung for sale signs on their beauties. Look for this event in the future, more than the traditional once a month.

Hey silverlady,
Tesco does carry corn meal it just goes under the name of maize meal which is probably why the staff couldn't find it It's exactly the same thing as you would find in the States. The only difference is that this is white meal instead of the more common yellow. This shouldn't affect the flavour, your cornbread will just look a little more pale Hope you find it, think it's in the specialty section.


text: The Shanghai wiki last edited by ReverendHunt on 07/08/14 08:48PM View full history OverviewShanghai is a board game where the goal is to remove tiles from the board by selecting pairs of currently "free" tiles, defined as any tile with a side free (other than the front) that can be removed from the table without disturbing its neighboring tiles. If the player is able to remove every tile on the board without getting stymied by locked tiles, they win the game. Though circles, bamboos, characters and dragons must be removed in identical pairs, a flower can be paired off with any other flower and the same is also the case for seasons. This is because there is only one flower/season tile each.Shanghai is frequently mistaken for the game of Mahjong, which is considerably more in-depth and plays more like the card game Rummy. Since Shanghai uses the same tileset as Mahjong and it is a one-player game, it is often called Mahjong Solitaire.This particular version was created in the late-80s and ported to various systems courtesy of Activision. Sunsoft is credited as responsible for the Famicom version, which was only available in Japan.

Calendar Event Bug
When I receive a calendar invite in the form of an .ics file it says that "invitation data is out of date" even though it isn't. Every calendar event sent as an .ics file to me has this bug for some reason. Please look into this. Otherwise the app is awesome.
Update: Apparently Outlook's mobile app has the same bug.
Another issue: When I open emails, somehow in the mail app and to an extent in outlook, the html seems to open on the screen end to end but on mailbox it seems a bit compressed leaving space on the sides. Replicating the rendering produced by the mail app would be more accurate as emails are designed keeping the default mail app in mind.
I love Mailbox, but expect more
Mailbox is a great app -simple and to the point. If you have emails, you swipe them to their respective location or snooze then for later. The problem is that the app should have more features then this after nearly a year of incremental updates.
At this point, I'd hope that other email accounts would be available, there would be a true bulk select, and maybe integrations with other apps such as Evernote (and a deeper integration with Swipes).
It's not that Mailbox is a bad app by any means. In fact, it's great. It's just that without looking forward, I'm more tempted to try alternatives for additional features.
Finally an app to manage and filter email
Love it! 90% of the email I receive has become overrun by ads. This app gives me the ability to filter out all the noise and focus on what's important. It also has features to permanently delete emails with one swipe and send emails to a folder where I can take further action later. The email functions are so basic that I barely understand why Apple does not have them as standard features. Congratulations to MailBox and DropBox for creating such an intuitive and helpful app. Well done!!!

You're one of the geniuses who believe they'd risk bringing down their whole company by fixing fights so they'd get a not so marketable champ (who btw the way they've since distanced themselves from) of their lightly used women's division?
6/16/12 11:48 AM by Nexuscrawlers
So, you're saying Bellator fixed the judging? Bellator would have been way better off with fujii or aguilar as champ.
6/16/12 11:44 AM by siouxNYC
a couple things about lyman good: -he and daley were supposed to fight in elitexc, but then seth petruzelli killed kimbo and that was that.-askren beat a healthy lyman good, but right before the hawn fight lyman got the flu so bad that he was on cipro and was unable to train. AND i still think that was a bad decision that should've gone to lyman.-don't quote me on this, but i think lyman just had work done on his knees, so he's coming off that.all that said, daley vs. good would rock, especially as a non-title "superfight-ish" main event - which is something bellator should be doing a lot more of with these "name" fighters they sign.

by the way, I think part of the problem with daley is the UFC tried their hardest to make him a champion. like bisping and hardy. but hand picking fights then giving guys undeserved title shots backfires every time with those UK fighters. none of them are good enough to be champs, as is displayed in that none of them have ever won a ufc belt.so people dislike the false hype and get pissed at the fighter. it's not hard to figure out
