1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to gyroscopes, and in particular to improved resonator microgyroscopes and their manufacture.
2. Description of the Related Art
Gyroscopes are used to determine direction based upon the sensed inertial reaction of a moving mass. In various forms they are often employed as a critical sensor for vehicles such as aircraft and spacecraft. They are generally useful for navigation or whenever it is necessary to determine the orientation of a free object.
Older conventional gyroscopes were very heavy mechanisms, employing relatively large spinning masses by current standards. A number of recent technologies have brought new forms of gyroscopes, including optical gyroscopes such as laser gyroscopes and fiberoptic gyroscopes as well as vibratory gyroscopes.
Spacecraft often depend on inertial rate sensing gyroscopic systems to supplement attitude control. Typical systems employ conventional spinning mass gyroscopes or conventionally-machined hemispherical resonator gyroscopes to provide the high pointing stability required for spacecraft payloads operating high above the earth. However, both of these types of gyroscopes are expensive, large and heavy.
Some prior symmetric vibratory gyroscopes have been produced, however, their vibratory momentum is transfered directly to their baseplates or packages. This transfer or coupling admits external disturbances and energy loss indistinguishable from inertial rate input and hence leads to sensing errors and drift. One example of such a vibratory gyroscope may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,894,090 to Tang et al. which describes a symmetric cloverleaf vibratory gyroscope design and is hereby incorporated by reference herein. Other planar tuning fork gyroscopes may achieve a degree of isolation of the vibration from the baseplate, however these gyroscopes lack the vibrational symmetry desirable for tuned operation. In addition, shell mode gyroscopes, such as the hemispherical resonator gyroscope and vibrating ring gyroscope, which can have desirable isolation and vibrational symmetry attributes, are not suitable for thin planar silicon implementation with sensitive electrostatic sensors and actuators that take advantage of the large planar areas of the device
The scale of previous silicon microgyroscopes (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,894,090) has not been optimized for navigation grade performance resulting in higher noise and drift than desired. This problem stems from use of thin eptiaxially grown silicon flexures to define critical vibration frequencies that are limited to 0.1% thickness accuracy and limit device sizes to a few millimeters. The former results in high drift due to vibrational asymmetry or unbalance and the latter results in high rate noise due to lower mass increasing thermal mechanical noise and lower area increasing capacitance sensor electronics noise. Scaling up of non-isolated silicon microgyros is also problematic because external energy losses will increase with no improvement in resonator Q and no reduction in case-sensitive drift. An isolated, cm scale resonator with many orders of magnitude in 3D manufacturing precision is required for navigation grade performance. Conventionally machined navigation grade resonators such as in hemispherical or shell gyros have the optimum scale, e.g. 30 mm and 3D manufacturing precision and hence desirable drift and noise performance, however are expensive and slow to make. Conventional laser trimming of mechanical resonators can further improve manufacturing precision to some degree, however it is not suitable for microgyros with narrow mechanical gaps and has limited resolution necessitating larger electrostatic bias adjustments in the final tuning process.
There is a need in the art for small microgyros with greatly improved performance for navigation and spacecraft payload pointing. There is also a need for such gyros to be cheaper and more easily manufactured with greater 3D mechanical precision. Finally, there is a need for such gyros to have desirable isolation and vibrational symmetry attributes while being compatible with planar silicon manufacturing. The present invention satisfies all these needs.
The present invention discloses a resonator gyroscope comprising a resonator including two bodies, each with a center of mass and transverse inertia symmetry about an axis that are substantially coincident and each supported by one or more elastic elements and wherein the bodies together form two differential rocking modes of vibration transverse to the axis with substantially equal frequencies and transfering substantially zero net momentum to the baseplate. The gyroscope further includes a baseplate affixed to the resonator by the one or more elastic elements and sense and drive elements each affixed to the resonator and baseplate. An isolated resonator microgyroscope is thereby provided having no coupling of its sense or drive mode to baseplate or package motion except through Coriolis accelerations when a differential rocking mode is internally driven.
One embodiment of the invention comprises a resonator including a proof mass and a counterbalancing frame affixed to the proof mass by one or more elastic elements. The resonator is affixed to a baseplate by the one or more elastic elements. Sense and drive elements are each affixed to the resonator and baseplate. The proof mass and counterbalancing frame produce substantially no net momentum transfer or reaction on the baseplate when a resonator differential rocking mode is excited. The resonator excluding central proof mass may be etched from a single thicksilicon wafer or from a thin silicon wafer to which is bonded a post proof mass.
An all-silicon, symmetric vibratory gyroscope of the present invention is inexpensive to produce using photolithography and because of its unique isolated design can be scaled large enough (e.g. 20 mm mesoscale resonator) to achieve the low noise and low drift performance required for navigation. Combined with a low cost closed loop analog control system, a mesoscale navigation grade inertial reference unit would be very inexpensive for relatively small manufacturing quantities. Furthermore, combined with a low-power digital control electronics application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for much larger volumes, a "golf ball-sized" inertial navigation unit is feasible. For example, in unit quantities of approximately 3,000 per year, it is estimated that such a unit would cost less than $3,000.
The present invention provides an affordable vibratory gyroscope with navigation grade performance by means of a precision isolated symmetric planar resonator of optimum scale that can be fabricated with silicon photolithography from commercial double-side polished silicon wafers with low total thickness variation. Previous navigation grade vibratory gyroscopes with isolated resonators have relied on conventional lathes or milling machines yielding slow and expensive 3D precision machining and assembly, e.g. quartz hemispheric resonator gyroscopes, or employed non-isolated resonators mounted on low-frequency isolaters to gain a degree of isolation at the expense of increasing seismic suspension mass and increased deflections due to gravity loads. Asymmetric tuning fork vibratory gyroscopes provide isolation about the drive axis only and are subject to external disturbance about the output sense axis. The cloverleaf microgyroscope of U.S. Pat. No. 5,894,091 as previously mentioned is subject to external disturbances about its drive and output axes.
Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numbers represent corresponding parts throughout:
FIG. 1 depicts a top view of a reactionless resonator gyroscope of the present invention;
FIG. 2 depicts a side view of a reactionless resonator gyroscope of the present invention in a displaced position; and
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a typical method of using the invention.
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and which is shown, by way of illustration, several embodiments of the present invention. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The key principle of the present invention is to provide a resonator comprising two bodies with transverse intertia symmetry about an axis aligned with an input axis and elastically supported so that their axes of symmetry and centers of mass coincide and together form two differential rocking modes of vibration transverse to the axis of symmetry. The two bodies are supported in a case having an inertial rate input axis and exhibit substantially equal frequencies distinct from other modes of vibration, mutually orthogonal and imparting substantially zero net momentum to the case. There is further an internal actuation means aligned to drive a first one of the differential rocking modes to vibrate and a sensing means aligned to sense the motion of the second differential rocking mode induced by Coriol is accelerations resulting from the inertial rate input and internally driven differential rocking motion about the first mode axis.
In the example embodiments which follow a first one of the bodies is a proof mass, a second one of the bodies is a counterbalancing frame and the case may include a baseplate. Other equivalent structures and arrangements will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
All vibratory gyroscopes employ a rotation sensing mechanical element which is driven to oscillate in a first mode, i.e. the input or drive mode. A Coriolis acceleration of the element under rotation induces energy transfer from the input mode to a second mode, i.e. the output or sense mode. The second mode produces an excitation in the sense element which is then detected. Optimum performance of a vibratory gyroscope is obtained when the drive and sense modes have the same resonant frequency and a high Q factor. The response to the Coriolis acceleration is then mechanically amplified by the Q factor of the resonance and provides improved sensor performance. Closed loop control of the resonator sense mode (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,601 to Challoner et al., which is hereby incorporated by reference herein) provides Coriolis force-rebalance, sense mode damping and wide gyroscope bandwidth.
FIG. 1 depicts a top view of a reactionless resonator gyroscope 100 embodiment of the present invention. The gyroscope 100 comprises a unique resonator which includes a proof mass 102 and a counterbalancing frame 104. The counterbalancing frame 104 has a rocking inertia substantially comparable to that of the proof mass 102 and these two bodies interact as described above. The counterbalancing frame 104 and proof mass 102 are coupled to a baseplate 106 (represented in FIG. 1 by four mounting points) by way of elastic elements 108. The principal axes of concern which will be referenced throughout the specification are the X axis 110, the Y axis 112 and the Z axis 114 (which is directed out of the page of FIG. 1). The counterbalancing frame 104 can also designed in any other shape, such as a circular ring or other arbitrary shape so long as the two bodies (proof mass 102 and counterbalancing frame 104) interact as previously described.
FIG. 2 depicts a side view of a reactionless resonator gyroscope 100 of the present invention in a displaced position. The gyroscope is shown displaced about the X axis 110. The mechanical assembly comprises a central inertia proof mass 102 element attached to a outer counterbalancing frame 104 and to a baseplate 106 via elastic beam flexure elements 108. In one embodiment, the counterbalancing frame 104, elastic elements 108 and baseplate 106 for the inertia proof mass 102 can be photolithographically etched through from the same double-side polished crystal silicon wafer to produce a precision planar resonator gyroscope.
Key to the present invention is that the axisymmetric resonator is coupled to a baseplate 106 such that the axisymmetric counterbalancing frame 104 can freely vibrate against the axisymmetric central proof mass 102 with counterbalanced oscillatory rocking motion and resulting in a distinct differential rocking mode with no momentum transfer to or net reaction on the baseplate 106.
The baseplate 106 may be a relatively thick silicon plate of rigid material. Such a thick rigid baseplate 106 could be directly bonded to the rest of the gyroscope in a vacuum package. Alternatively, a more flexible thin baseplate 106 may be used to reduce cost and ease assembly with standard wafer processing equipment. Common elasticity in the resonator elastic elements such as in the attachment to the baseplate provides inherent separation of the differential rocking mode frequency from the common rocking mode of vibration. The singular attribute of any of these arrangements is that any external motion of the gyroscope package cannot excite differential rocking motion of the resonators, unless such motion is first internally driven and only then by virtue of Coriolis accelerations due to rotation of the gyroscope about the input axis or axis of inertial symmetry
The proof mass 102 can be constructed in various forms, however the inertial distribution of the central proof mass is designed to have more mass out of plane than the frame and hence higher angular gain, or Coriolis reaction to inertial rate input. To achieve this, a typical configuration for the proof mass 102 includes a vertical portion 116 (elongated along the Z axis 114) and a plate portion 118 (in the X-Y plane). The vertical portion 116 and plate portion 118 of the proof mass 102 may be formed together from a thick silicon wafer for manufacturing ease as previously mentioned. Alternately, the proof mass 102 may be formed by bonding on the vertical portion 116 as a separate central post to the plate portion 118 formed from the silicon wafer.
Electrostatic driving and sensing can be implemented with the sense and drive elements positioned on the large planar surfaces of the resonator and the baseplate 102. The sense and drive elements may be positioned on either the counterbalancing frame 104 or the proof mass 102 (typically the plate portion 118 of the proof mass 102) of the resonator.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a typical method 300 of the invention. The method comprises providing a resonator including a proof mass 102 and a counterbalancing frame 104 affixed to the proof mass 102 by one or more elastic elements 108 at block 302. Next, the resonator is bonded to a baseplate 106 by the one or more elastic elements 108 at block 304. The resonator is etched from conductive doped silicon and is rigidly and conductively bonded to the baseplate using gold-gold thermo compression bonding or gold-silicon eutectic bonding. Providing the resonator may comprise etching the entire proof mass 102 and counterbalancing frame 104 from a single silicon wafer or etching only a plate portion 118 of the proof mass 102 and the counterbalancing frame 104 from the silicon and bonding on a separate vertical portion 116 of the proof mass 102. A gold-gold thermo-compression bond for a silicon post or anodic bond for a pyrex post is used with critical precision bonding surfaces and dimensions defined by planar polishing. The method 300 also comprises affixing sense and drive electrode elements each to the baseplate 106 at block 306. The sense and drive elements may be formed on either the proof mass 102 or the counterbalancing frame 104.
The principle of operation of the invention is that the proof mass rocks against the counterbalancing frame with equal an opposite momentum. In the example embodiment of FIG. 1, the gyroscope 100 is made from a planar 550 micron thick silicon wafer, the proof mass 102 comprises a 20 mm�20 mm plate with 10 mm�5 mm�5 mm silicon posts bonded to both sides. The rocking inertia of the proof mass is approximately It=0.0581 kg-mm2 and the axial inertia is approximately IZ=0.0390 kg-mm2. Its angular gain for Coriolis sensing is approximately 1−I2/It/2=0.664, compared to 1 for an ideal Foucault pendulum. The angular gain for the flat frame is ˜0 so the effective angular gain for the gyroscope is ˜0.332 comparable to the typical value of 0.3 for a hemispherical or shell resonator. For reactionless operation, the rocking inertia of the counterbalancing frame 104 substantially matches that of the proof mass 102, It. This can be achieved with a counterbalancing frame 104 outside dimension of approximately 30 mm and inner dimension of approximately 20 mm. The center of mass of the proof mass 102 and counterbalancing frame 104 are thus coincident at the center of the resonator Accleration of the gyroscope thus produces no excitation of the differential rocking modes.
In the example embodiment, the elastic flexures 108 used to attach the proof mass 102 and counterbalancing frame 104 to the rigid baseplate 106 have a 0.55 mm square cross section and are fabricated by photolithography. The attachment to the counterbalancing frame 104 is at a position 10 mm from the resonator center an to the proof mass 102 is at 5 mm from the center. The attachment of the elastic elements 108 to the baseplate 106 is via 2.5 mm beams was selected to be at 7.13 mm from the resonator center in the example illustrated in FIG. 1. This value was arrived at from a preliminary finite element model analysis.
An analysis of the free modes of vibration of the resonator attached to a 3 mm thick 3 inch diameter silicon wafer identified two, degenerate counter-rocking modes of the counterbalancing frame 104 against the proof mass 102 at approximately 4295.77 Hz. The momentum transmitted to the baseplate 106 was found to be {fraction (1/150)} that of a rocking momentum in the proof mass 102. With a locked frame, as in designs such as that of U.S. Pat. No. 5,894,090, all of the rocking momentum would be transmitted to the base wafer. Further examination of the finite element model results reveals how the balance is achieved about the X axis of a baseplate in this particular case: first, there is substantially no net in-plane torsion or normal force at each of the baseplate support points along the X axis; second, the residual in-plane torsional reactions at each of the beam attachments along the Y axis are counterbalanced at any point in the baseplate by the net moment due to the normal force also acting at these attachments. This demonstrates an approximately 150 fold improvement in mechanical isolation without resort to low frequency seismic isolation methods. The perfection of the balance and isolation is limited only by planar geometric design and fabrication precision and not by the size of the baseplate mass and its suspension frequency from the gyro case.
The present invention is thus appropriate for navigation grade vibratory gyroscopes in rugged environments. The isolation of the two rocking modes from rigid baseplate motion ensures that modal damping and associated gyroscope rate drift will be determined primarily by the losses within the precision machined silicon resonator and not by the much less precise external packaging losses. The inherent high Q of bulk crystal silicon and the excellent symmetry which has been demonstrated through photolithography of precision double-side polished silicon wafers at mesoscale can be exploited with the present invention to achieve excellent navigation grade vibratory gyroscope performance at low cost.
It is also understood that to achieve the full potential of low drift and noise performance using this isolated resonator principle will require even high final 3D mechanical precision than afforded by the precise wafer polishing, through-etched silicon micromachining and high quality silicon bonding outlined above. This can be preferably accomplished with this design by focused ion beam trimming, after the assembly of the resonator onto its baseplate, of the dimensions of the elastic beam elements or the mass elements of the resonator, e.g. frame or post. This post assembly trimming can take advantage of the highly sensitive built in capacitive sensors to increase the degree of initial isolation and tuning to subatomic precision. Electrostatic bias trimming to modify the overall modal stiffness with the built in capacitance electrodes or special purpose electrodes can be used to maintain this isolation and tuning after vacuum packaging and at varying temperatures throughout the life of the gyroscope.
In addition, other modes of implementation are also possible in which the elastic elements are not necessarily discrete but rather built into the frame and plate elements of the proof mass. The essential requirement is that there be no net reaction or momentum transfer to the baseplate.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. It is intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by the claims appended hereto. The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.

Life In A Vacuum!
Nobody seems to notice,
Nobody seems to care,
I live in a vacuum,
Where there isn't any air…
And the heart in my chest,
Grows more and more like lead,
With my soul crushing down,
I'm left here with a frozen frown,
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no…
It's happening again,
Someone now says that,
They really like me and,
They're my new best friend,
But no one seems to notice,
No one seems to care,
When there's nothing more to give,
No one cares if I live,
Now with life almost gone,
I tried my best to prove this wrong,
The world's full of people,
Who do not get along…
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no…
We're all out for ourselves,
We can't see we're the same,
Yet we don't help one another,
but rather blow ourselves to hell,
Oh, No one seems to notice,
No one seems to care,
We all live in a vacuum,
Where there isn't any air…

AMCAT Syllabus And Question Paper Pattern 2014
AMCAT is a employability assessment test which focuses on entry level jobs for freshers. The main advantage of taking AMCAT test is to increase your chances to attend more off campus and interview. AMCAT has been immensely grown in last 2-3 years as its providing one of the best leading IT companies in india. In many colleges there is no placement and there is no one to find out the talent of those students who all are capable of learning and creativity. AMCAT provides a good platform to those students also who all are not satisfied with their current job and opting for another company. Even in Recession times myamcat has provide jobs to many aspiring students.
AMCAT Guidelines:
- Each Module is of 900 marks.
- Cannot Skip any question.
- Cannot go back to the Previous Question.
- No Negative Marking.
- No Calculators Allowed
- Minimum questions to be answered per module is 16 to generate a score.
- Every Module with a separate timer and leftover time will not be credited to another module.
- Cannot Skip any module.
- CS/IT/EC Students need to attempt at-least one module out of C++, Java, UNIX, SQL.
- We will prefer if students of other streams except CS/IT/EC can also attempt Computer
- Programming though it is Optional. This will increase the visibility.
It is very important for a student to note their AMCAT ID's, once the Test Starts.

If yes, please provide me the fees it will take for applying.
Please let me know how many times can we apply in amcat?
Yes candidates pursuing engg (3rd yr) are eligible to attend AMCAT but it is not recommended. It is advised to write AMCAT Exam in Final year to get good number of opportunities. Meanwhile, you can prepare for AMCAT Exam to get good score.
I got 58 in 10th if I got creck amcat. Then acenture and tce cal me for interview
If you specifically talk about Accenture then you dont have to worry about your 10th & 12th percentage because Accenture criteria is 60% overall aggregate in BE/BTech (Degree).
sir,how can i select modules, i am mca student which part must attempt in amcat exam.

Is academic Percentage Matters to attempt AMCAT???
Yes It does matter for Many Companies. If you have overall 60% + in your academics then you can get lots of interview calls. Though it is advised to take AMCAT exam because company like Accenture doesnt see your 10th or 12th marks.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Serge Ibaka's recovery process likely not the norm
And hey, if you really want compression, how about a hyperbaric chamber? The pressurization stimulates blood flow, which decreases inflammation. Who's to say Serge didn't stay in Oklahoma City while the team went to San Antonio so he could sleep in one of those babies?
Michael Phelps did it a few years ago, then won four golds at the 2012 Olympics.
Most normal people aren't wearing Hammer compression pants or hanging out in a hyperbaric chamber, though I did discover hyperbaric chambers for sale on Amazon. Only $5,495. Seems like a steal of a deal for an NBA team trying to rehab its defensive stalwart.
Last on the list when rehabilitating a muscle strain is elevation. Frankly, this only adds to the hyperbaric chamber theory since things create high-altitude conditions, like sleeping at 8,000 feet.
Oh, we're talking about a different type of elevation?
Well, Serge can prop up that leg up on a pillow stuffed with hair from a unicorn and feathers from a phoenix.
Again, normal people stuff.
Listen, I have no idea what treatments the Thunder used with Ibaka. Friday morning, I asked Presti a couple different ways about the steps that the team took, and each time he swatted away the questions like he hopes Ibaka soon treats Spur shots.
"When these things happen," Presti said, "there's a program that gets put in place."
What does that involve?
"It's getting to the point where he's being put in game-like conditions when he's capable of that to replicate those situations on the floor."
Yes, but how he's gotten to that point is a mystery that the Thunder isn't interested in sharing. (The Spurs would content that there's no mystery, that this was all cloak-and-dagger stuff, that Ibaka was coming back all along. Gregg Popovich even joked about it Friday, saying, "I know Sammy" becoming perhaps the first person in the history of the world to call Presti by that name.)
By the way, WebMD says that once a muscle strain has healed, one of the next steps in preventing another injury is to start an exercise program.
Hey, Serge, what about Sunday evening at The Peake? A little running and jumping and swatting shots into the fifth row perhaps?

Max Unger — center
Steady and sure-footed, Max Unger leads one of the NFL's most explosive offenses -- and has had to do it for much of the 2013 season with a patchwork offensive line around him. Unger has been integral in leading and developing Seattle's young and inexperienced O-linemen and is headed to his second Pro Bowl.

analysisBy Greg Nicolson
Former President Thabo Mbeki's appearance at the Seriti Commission into arms deal was supposed to shed a light on the top official's role in the scandal. It didn't. Instead, it shored Mbeki's defences. Then it got sad and weird.
Mbeki's slight frame leans forward on the table. Both hands are on the desk. His eyes focus on the speaker. Grey-haired and calm, he looks and speaks like a renowned statesman.
Mbeki calmly tells the commission that the R30 billion arms procurement deal was a culmination of a process that included assessing what the armed forces needed and looking at options and affordability. It was all above board and in accordance with the Constitution, which mandates the state to provide for defence.
The Arms Deal Commission, under the leadership of Judge Willie Seriti, was established to investigate whether that claim is true. There's a lot to suggest it's not. As deputy president when the procurement process began, president when the deal was signed, and president when allegations of corruption and maladministration emerged, the proverbial buck stops with Mbeki.
Mbeki props his head on his hand. "There are some matters that have been in the public domain for a...

I hated this product. Did not work on me at all. It was sticky and really thick. The balm did not work a worth of crap.If anything it just made my lips dry after an hour or 2. Sorry, I had a bad experience with this.

Bought this because I wanted to try a longlasting lipstick/gloss. A little disappointed the color didn't apply smoothly and the gloss part seemed to just sit on my lips then disappeared. so my lips looked dry until I removed the lipstick part. It stayed, but looked to Matte.

I don't like the fact that you have two products to haul around with you, but this does stay on your lips for hours and hours. I love not having to constantly reapply my lip color. I have also found another great use for the lip stain, I put a neutral color on my eyelid and then apply eyeliner over the lip stain (I know it sounds pretty hardcore) but it causes my eyeliner and eyeshadow to last the entire day without creasing one tiny bit. Usually I have to use a primer on my eyelid, but this works way better, while giving my eyelid a nice hint of color. I'll repurchase more colors to play around with since they tend to look different on your lips than they do in the tube. But I love this product!

I picked out shade 592 "Buff" (their lightest shade in their series of nude shades). The colour looked GORGEOUS...for about 1-2 hours. I applied one 'brushfull' over my clean, bare lips and was pleased at the pigmentation; nude lip colours rarely show up over my naturally dark red lips and the clear balm added a nice finishing touch. I applied this at 11am and by about 1pm my lip colour began to crack...literally CRACK so I tried to remedy this by applying more topcoat. By 2pm, the lip colour began to FLAKE so I tried to apply even more topcoat. By 3pm my lips had PATCHES...patches of nude and red..it looked HIDEOUS. DO NOT BUY THIS unless you WANT to spend the afternoon in the ladies washroom SCRATCHING and PEELING off flakey bits of dried lip colour!!! Into the garbage it goes!! I am so disappointed because the colour was sooo beautiful at first...I will likely take the tube to MAC to see if they have a duplicate lip colour.

I love this. I have the number "855", though I think the shade is retired. It's a deep berry shade. It stays all day, minimal flaking. I put a red gloss over it since I ran out of the balm, and I love it even more! Just don't mess up while in application, its a pain to remove mistakes.
About ten dollars, like most drugstore longstays.
I wish the balm was attached to the color like most longstay colors out there.

I love not having to reapply my lipstick all day. Yes, it's true that it's drying but if you reapply the gloss or a lip balm, you can avoid that problem. I purchased this in "Naturalast" and it is a very pretty color if you apply it lightly. If you go crazy with it, it's an icky purplish-brown.
I tried another color recently called Sun-Kissed. This was in the "Neutrals" section of the display. The color swatch suggested a neutral pink. The title suggests a warm pink. HOWEVER, this is bright Pepto-Bismol in a lip color. They should've named it "Sunburned" instead of Sun-Kissed. I hate it, and I'm taking it back.

I bought this on a whim at Wal-Mart. It was a sale 2 for 1, but the two colors were packaged together. I cant tell you what colors they are cause it only has number on the tube. Sorry ladies. But I know they were nudes. One is like a light berry color and the other is like a true nude (love it). I never really have been a fan of lipstick as i hate having to reapply, lip gloss is so easy. The first use was to say the least, sloppy. I used the nude color & it looked like paint. BAD! After a few times i have found the perfect application method. Clean , dry lips. Apply the color VERY VERY thin. A little goes a long way. And it must be applied quickly and smoothly. I also find that opening my mouth & stretching my lips gets the color to go on better, into the wrinkles of the lips and staying this way for about thirty seconds after application to allow it to dry. Looks ridiculous but works. I do my bottom lip first, then the first half of my top & so on. If any color is out of place wipe it off immediately or it will stay there all day. After sitting with my mouth open to allow it to dry, I apply the gloss coat. It really does last all day through eating, smoking (I know its horrid), and drinking. I only have to take the gloss in my purse, cause the color is there all day. I don't find the formula drying, & the gloss revives the color. I must say that I am very impressed with this product. I wear the true nude daily & love it. So far my HG. It only gets 4 lippies because I am still a gloss fan at heart. But it is nice not having the gooey gloss on.

This is my first review. Thanks to all for your time and opinions. They are so keen, helpful and honest. Let's try to write, proofread, punctuate and spell a little better though to make each writing worthy of such a great website and to favor readers even more with your insight, experience and expertise.
This is my holy grail, go to lipstick. I apply it to clean, dry lips. Nothing gets between my lips and my Cover Girl Outlast! :) It lasts until I take it off with mineral oil on a cotton ball or until I eat something oily. It fills in the lines around my lips like perfectly sanded spackle ready to be painted. It comes in so many lovely shades, although they have changed the colors so much lately that my favorite, Berry Preserve (#556), is not the same. In fact, all of the colors are too similar now within each color range. It also now smells awful, like tawdry, cheap candy or powdered Kool Aide. GAG! They also have changed the formula to make it more glossy or shimmery (in the tube anyway) which defeats the purpose of the product and reduces its wear time. I also wear #553 in Outlast which is Moonlit Mauve (blue cap, the original recipe which is the best and now very hard to find), #556, the new and not as good Berry Preserve, #545 and Naturalist which smells disgusting as mentioned above.
They have added another line too, Smoothwear, which is about the same but not as opaque, has great colors and smells fine. In Smoothwear, I wear Berry Satin #815 and Mauve Spice #885. I do not appreciate these changes to make it more like lip gloss. I do not wear lip gloss because it does not last. That's why I love this product that they are now ruining, albeit slowly.
I suspect that some of the negative reviews are due to (1) misuse of the product over the gloss or some other balm and (2) the recent changes to the product. It has to go on clean, bare lips - no exceptions. It is correct, however, that you will cause it to flake if you try to apply more product, or another color, over the dried original shade. It is also true that if you eat anything oily, the lipstick will come off in a flaky fashion. You have to then blot off all of the oil and reapply only to the now uncoated areas.
I will keep buying it until they ruin it completely, which hopefully will not happen. The only comparable product I have found was Max Factor's version, Lipfinity, which I can no longer find at Walgreens, CVS or Ulta. Their website says it's now at Wal-Mart and a Houston grocery store, HEB. How unglamorous is that? I'll have to research how Max Factor has slipped down so far on the glam ladder. They can afford to hire Giselle though, so things can't be too bad. Maybe she needs to take pay cut so they can get products in more stores. The other new competing types from Revlon and L'Oreal are all too sticky and qualify as lip gloss by my standards.
Cover Girl has a good website. Check it out for more product reviews. Everyone else posting to their site that used the original product correctly is lamenting its demise due to lip gloss frenzy concerns and unseemly color changes. Well, I'm off to Wal-Mart or HEB to find my old staple, Infinity. Hopefully, it's unadulterated and as great a product as I remember.

I bought this because I needed a red lipstick, and in the past I've found red lipstick hard to keep in place without feathering or smudging. I cannot remember the name of the shade I got, but it was a true-red color, and quite pretty actually. It looked very nice when I first put it on, but unfortunately it didn't stay like that. I have somewhat dry lips, but not more than usual I don't think, and this started peeling off my lips. I had taken care to use lots of balm and exfoliate my lips the few days before I was going to need it, since I know how important it is to have a smooth canvas when using darker lip color. Even with all of that prep, it dried out my lips, and just started peeling. When I tried to put on more to correct it, but it just made it worse. If you need to be somewhere for only an hour this is probably OK (which is almost never) but otherwise it's NOT good. It starts peeling off, and you really can't fix it. Since it's color stay, it's still hard to get it all off your lips, so if you're out and don't have makeup remover you're kind of up a creek! This *might* be ok for lighter shades, but if you're going for red or another darker shade, you should definitely test-drive this before you wear it to an event. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Retro Lancer in actionThe Retro Lancer, previously known as the Pendulum Wars Lancer Assault Rifle, was used during the Pedulum Wars as the COG army's primary weapon. After Emergence Day, the Retro Lancer saw to be ineffective against the invading Locust Horde and was replaced by the Lancer Assault Rifle as the go-to-rifle for all COG soldiers. After the events of Gears of War 2, the Retro Lancer began popping up again, due to shortages of other weaponry.The rifle is fitted with a bayonet on the front of it, which in conjunction with a little running build up, will impale any enemy that comes in contact with it. The bayonet is also useful for outright stabbing the enemy, or, slicing their throats as seen in some executions.

UPDATE: Don't start DVR'ing the Kardashian/Disick wedding special yet, a source very close to the Kardashian Klan told Hollyscoop that any stories alleging that Scott Disick proposed to Kourtney Kardashian are "completely false. not true."
Decide for yourself if this just isn't a ploy to keep the engagement a secret for their reality show cameras.
(Original Story)
Well, if that isn't a Thanksgiving miracle then I don't know what is!
After reportedly being anti-marriage (I guess?) Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are finally engaged!
The couple have two kids together and anytime the issue of marriage came up, Kourtney was always like "uhhh, but I don't want to."
Scott's aunt Laurie Disick let the news slip to Star magazine, saying, "We're all so thrilled they've finally decided to get engaged. We're all so fond of Kourtney, and we wish them a long, happy marriage."
Thanks aunt Laurie! You've managed to give us more information in one sentence than all 7 seasons of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" ever did!
Apparently the proposal was captured by the cameras for Season 8 of the families reality show.
Another eyewitness told the mag that Scott was spotted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida checking out engagement rings at Levinson Jewelers back in November.
Scott reportedly popped the question last week while the couple was in Paris, France.
I wonder if Kim is jealous? But I digress.
On Monday Kourtney tweeted the title of the new Rihanna song, "Shine Bright Like A Diamond," which was either her expressing her enjoyment of the song, or a cryptic message meant to be interpreted as "I just got engaged BOOYA!"
Congratulations to the happy couple.
