Vobwalker walks through a .VOB file containing DVD video, extracting lists of VOBUs to a set of chapter files. Each file begins with a VOBU that has no predecessor (i.e., does not point at a preceding VOBU) and contains the list of VOBUs found by following the successor pointers along the list. The final VOBU in each file has no successor.
The practical effect of pointing vobwalker at a .VOB file is that you wind up with a set of smaller .VOB files, each containing a chapter from the original file.
Vobwalker does not adjust pointers in the VOBUs to account for the fact that they have moved relative to each other; it simply copies them from one file to another. The resulting chapter .VOB files are, however, suitable for use by programs like dvdauthor that expect to be responsible for filling in the VOBUs.
It has been brought to my attention that vobwalker is probably splitting things at a cell boundary rather than a chapter boundary. If you desperately need chapter boundaries rather than cell boundaries, vobwalker is not quite what you're looking for.
Vobwalker is in the public domain.

Stuart boy arrested, accused of biting brother in dispute over who would use Publix blood pressure test first
STUART - A Stuart boy was arrested Tuesday after he bit his brother during a dispute over who would be first to have his blood pressure checked, according to a report released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on Thursday.
According to the report, two brothers, both 12 years old, had begun arguing while using the blood pressure machine at Publix in the 3300 block of S.E. Federal Highway.
The victim told deputies he pressed the start button on the machine and put his arm into the cuff when his brother slid his arm into the sleeve as well. According to the report, the machine began to squeeze the brothers' arms too hard, so the victim pressed the stop button.
The victim's brother then became angry and bit the victim on the right inner thigh, according to the report.
Publix employees made the boys leave the store, according to the report, and someone called the Sheriff's office to report a fight.
Deputies located the victim across the street near Play-It-Again Sports. The victim told deputies his brother had bit him and showed them a bruised bit mark on his inner thigh.
Deputies found the victim's brother riding his bike down Indian Street. He was taken to the Martin County Jail and charged with domestic battery.

This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/784,655, filed on Mar. 22, 2006.
The present invention relates to mobile appliances, such as personal digital assistants and cell phones.
Mobile appliances having wireless connectivity, such as cellular telephones, have become so feature-rich that it has become increasingly difficult for a user to be able to access these features in a simple fashion. For example, a single wireless mobile appliance can provide the following features: make and receive telephone calls, take photographs, provide a calendar and update other devices where the calendar can be accessed, allow sending and receiving of emails, allow interaction with the Internet, provide video games, and provide a calculator. Each of these features may have its own menus designed to assist the user with using a feature. The use of menu structures is well established but has proven to be confusing for the ordinary user in part because of limited screen area and the difficulty of building intuitive interfaces.
Usually, a user needs to be able to identify the desired application accurately or it may not be discovered. If the user is unable to identify a desired application, a last resort has conventionally been to provide a file labeled "Help". However, by the time a user resorts to using the "Help" feature, the user often has little patience to use the "Help" feature, and frequently the user abandons the effort to find and use a feature.
Automated discovery techniques and products are available. For example, a product commonly referred to as "Qix" has been made commercially available. The Qix product directly indexes features or uses synonyms to assist the user with using features of a mobile appliance. Using a mobile appliance having "Qix", the user may enter data via a data entry device, such as a telephone keypad. The keypad may have keys that are associated with numbers, letters and/or other characters. By pressing a key, the mobile appliance will cause a monitor to display candidates that may be desired by the user. For example, the monitor may display letters, words, and/or numbers corresponding to the pressed key(s), as well as icons representing features that may be provided by the mobile appliance. The user may then select from the candidates, for example by using a cursor and an "Enter" key, to indicate what the user desires.
In addition to supplying literal and disambiguated candidates, the Qix product may use direct indexing, pointers or synonym tables to identify candidates. For example, if a user enters the string 746, the mobile appliance may display the word "pin" and also the word "show" as possible candidates. The mobile appliance might also display synonyms for a candidate. Using the example above, if the user pressed the keys 746, the user might be trying to enter the word "Photo" in order to indicate a desire to use a function of the mobile appliance that is related to photos. In response, the mobile appliance might display the word "Camera" or an icon of a camera to indicate a function provided by the mobile appliance. For example, the function might be the ability to take photographs (i.e. the "Camera" function). As another example, the function desired by the user might be the ability to present previously stored photographs in succession, and so the mobile appliance might display the phrase "Slide Show" or the icon of a projector. Note that the "Camera" function, the "Slide Show" function and/or their icons might be displayed even though the user did not press keys corresponding to the words "camera" or "slide show" because the mobile appliance associates the words "camera" and "slide show" as synonyms for the key presses corresponding to the word "photo". The extent of this functionality can be determined by a textual dictionary, pointer and synonym tables stored locally in the appliance.
In the existing art, selection of proposed candidates matching the entered sequence may cause an appropriate action to be taken by the appliance. Candidates may reside locally or remotely. However, one class of action that may be required is a broader search in response to an inquiry. Discovery of services or synonyms that are external to the appliance or an associated preconditioned server are feasible, but constrained by the availability of the network and the user's ability to navigate the external services. Usually, the user is forced to engage in a lengthy procedure for each inquiry, and this may be discouraging, thereby limiting the value of the service.
The invention may be embodied as a mobile appliance. The mobile appliance may include a microprocessor, a data entry device, a monitor, a candidate selection device, and software having instructions for controlling the microprocessor.
The data entry device may be in communication with the microprocessor, and may be capable of allowing a user to provide a series of characters to the microprocessor. The data entry device may include a set of keys operable by human fingers, each key having at least one character displayed thereon. For example, the character may be a number or a letter. An example of such a data entry device may be found on most telephones in the form of the 12-button key pad used to dial telephone numbers.
The monitor may be in communication with the microprocessor, and may be capable of displaying candidates corresponding to the series of characters. For example, the monitor may be a liquid crystal display, or may be a panel of light emitting diodes.
The candidate selection device may be in communication with the microprocessor, and may be capable of allowing the user to select one of the displayed candidates. For example, the selection device may be a joystick or a set of arrow keys. Such selection devices may be used to move a cursor displayed on the monitor.
The software may cause the microprocessor to interpret selection of one of the displayed candidates as indicating both a function and input information for that function. For example, the function may be a telephone number dialer and the characters may be interpreted to be a desired telephone number. Another type of function is a text message processor, and the characters may be interpreted to be letters of a phrase that should be part of a text message. A third type of function may be an Internet browser, and the characters may be interpreted to be a search query. Some of the functions may be internal to the appliance and reside in a memory of the appliance, while others of the functions may be external to the appliance. External functions may reside on a computer that is remote from the appliance, and communication between the appliance and the remote computer may be accomplished at least in part by a wireless communication channel, such as those used by cellular telephones.
The software module may have instructions for presenting the user with more than one function and allowing the user to select one of the functions. Candidates corresponding to functions may be displayed on the monitor differently from candidates corresponding to non-functions. Furthermore, internal functions may be displayed on the monitor differently from external functions.
The invention may be embodied as a method. In one such method, a mobile appliance is provided. The mobile appliance may be like that described above. A series of characters may be provided to the microprocessor via the data entry device. The microprocessor may respond by causing the monitor to display candidates corresponding to the series of characters, and then the selection device may be used to cause selection of one of the displayed candidates. The selected candidate may be provided to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor may interpret the selected candidate as indicating both a function and input information for that function. The function may then be invoked and the series of characters may be provided as input information to the function.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and the subsequent description. Briefly, the drawings are:
The invention may be embodied as a mobile appliance 10 having the ability to connect to a network 13 the purpose of retrieving information that may be desired by the user of the mobile appliance 10.
The monitor 15 is depicted in
Alternatively, the user might move a cursor to identify "746" on the monitor 15, and then select that by pressing the "Enter" key 21. The mobile appliance 10 may then assume that the user is attempting to enter a telephone number or a text message, and may prompt the user to indicate which is desired. If the user indicates that a telephone number is desired, then the appliance 10 may display numbers having "746" somewhere in the number. However, if the user indicates that he/she desires to create a text message, then the text message function may be invoked, with 746 being the first entry in the text message. Further presses of the keys 21 may be interpreted as being part of the text message until the user indicates that he/she is finished creating the text message.
Also shown on the monitor 15 depicted in
In addition,
In general, a series of key presses may result in a plurality of possible interpretations. Some of these interpretations may be logical and easily disambiguated. Stored interpretations may be accessed using disambiguation and predictive techniques. The display of candidates may be made in an order preferred by the user or the manufacturer, or a combination of both.
Some entered sequences may fail to match any stored data in the appliance 10 or its known servers, but in this case the user has either failed to correctly enter the sequence of key presses or else wishes to search for information or use a function that does not reside on the appliance 10. Such information and functions are referred to herein as being "external" to the appliance 10.
The mobile appliance 10 may have additional functions that allow for automatic generation of inquiry information and/or functions. For example, in addition to displaying candidates such as numbers, letters, words, phrases and functions that correspond to a series of key presses, the mobile appliance 10 may also present the user with information obtained from a network 13, such as the Internet. In such an appliance 10, starting with the "home" or "idle" screen, a key press or series of key presses may cause the appliance 10 to automatically display a literal entry, the number sequence, functions provided by the mobile appliance 10, as well as information and functions that are not resident on the appliance 10, such as information and/or functions that are available via a network server that is in communication with the Internet.
If a candidate is selected by using the "Send" key 21, the mobile appliance 10 may be programmed to interpret this as a request for information or a function from a source external to the appliance 10. As an example, a single press of a key 21 may submit the candidate to an external Internet search engine, such as the search engine commonly referred to as Google�. Other methods of indicating whether a candidate should be used by the mobile appliance 10 internally or externally may be used to determine the desire of the user. Such methods include but are not limited to displaying candidates in duplicate with attribute markers such as a "?" appended or pre-pended to differentiate between candidates that will invoke a function that is external to the appliance from those candidates that will invoke a function that is internal to the appliance.
Once an indication has been given that the user desires to use an external network, the appliance 10 may be configured to interact with the external network and display retrieved information. In order to interact with the external network, a communications channel 31, such as with a cellular communication antenna 34, may need to be established. Because information can be expected to be relatively complex and may have multiple attributes, a suitable software application may be invoked. For example, a browser, suitably arranged to operate on the appliance 10 may be used and an Internet session begun to correspond with the user's selected candidate. This session may access a typical search engine or may simply access a portal provided by a service provider. In any event, the selected candidate may be provided to the external software application. In this manner, the user may both indicate a desire for information/functions externally available without separately indicating that the candidate should be used externally to locate that information/function.
In one embodiment, the user may press a series of keys 21, which is interpreted so as to reduce or resolve ambiguity, candidates corresponding to that series of keys 21 may be displayed, and the user may select a desired candidate from the list of candidates provided on the monitor. When a connection to an external provider of information is indicated by the user, or functions are requested by the user, as may be determined by the user pressing the "Send" key, the following actions may occur. User selection of a displayed text element may copy or move the text element to a temporary storage location, which may be a memory location determined by the appliance 10. A browser application may be invoked and the candidate may be used as a search term to populate a search request text window or equivalent. Once a search term has populated the window, the search request may be generated automatically and from this point, normal browser operation may be supported.
If it is not clear whether a candidate selected by the user is intended for use externally or should be used in a function provided internally by the appliance 10, a key 21 may be pressed that is different from the key 21 used to indicate a desire for information/functions external to the appliance 10. For example, pressing the "Enter" key may indicate a desire to select the candidate, but not indicate anything about whether the candidate is intended to indicate a desire for information/functions external to the appliance 10. For example, if the candidate "camera" appears on the monitor 15 (note the italics indicates a function in this example) and the user does not wish to use the camera function of the appliance 10, but rather an external camera function, the user may press the "Enter" key to receive a list of options, and then select the option that allows use of an external camera function. Alternatively, the user might simply move the cursor on the monitor 15 to indicate the "camera" candidate and then press the "Send" key.
Other methods of communicating possible uses for a candidate may be employed. For example, in an appliance 10 equipped with a four-way selection switch, such as a joystick 37 type of cursor control, the user might move the cursor to the desired candidate by moving the joystick 37 away from or toward the user in order to move the cursor 22 up or down the monitor 15, and then by pressing the joystick 37 to the user's right, possible uses of the identified candidate may be provided on the monitor 15. For example, if the cursor 22 is moved so as to indicate the candidate "camera" and then the joystick is pressed to the user's right, the monitor 15 might first indicate the camera function provided by the appliance 10. A second press of the joystick 37 to the user's right might indicate use in a text message, and a third press of the joystick 37 to the user's right might indicate use in an Internet browser. Upon finding the desired use, the joystick 37 might be pressed into the appliance 10 to select that use and that candidate. Pressing the joystick 37 to the left might hide the list of possible uses, and thereby return the user to the candidate list.
To indicate the different possible uses of the candidate "camera", the appearance of the candidate may be altered or characters may be added to the candidate as the joystick 37 is pressed to the right. For example, initially, the candidate may be displayed as "camera" and then modified to appear as "camera" and then modified to appear as "camera?" in order to indicate respectively a desire to (A) use the camera provided by the appliance 10, (B) input text for a message and finally (C) use the word "camera" as a search term for an Internet browser. This is an example, and it should be recognized that a combination of text, additional characters, icons, sounds, vibration or other indication mechanism may be used to provide the user with the ability to indicate how a particular candidate should be used.
In another embodiment of the invention, pressing the joystick 37 to the right may result in providing a list of possible uses for the candidate. For example, upon moving the cursor 22 to the candidate "camera" and then pressing the joystick 37 to the right, the following list might be displayed: camera function provided by the appliance, text function provided by the appliance, and search term for Internet browser. Once the list of possible uses is displayed, pressing the joystick 37 away from or toward the user would result in the cursor 22 scrolling through the list. When the cursor 22 indicates the desired use, pressing the joystick 37 into the appliance 10 will select that use and that candidate. Pressing the joystick 37 to the left might hide the list of possible uses, and thereby return the user to the candidate list.
When the user indicates that a candidate should be used as a search term to locate information and/or functions external to the appliance 10, the selected search term may be sent via the communication channel 31 to a network server using a short message and then the search may be initiated remotely. This may be beneficial when the network 13 is experiencing high use since it does not require a high bandwidth link until the user is ready to review the search results. Once the message containing the search term has been sent from the appliance, a network acknowledgement may be used as an event trigger to invoke the browser interface. However a better method may be to return to the user a short message that includes a formatted link. When the message is opened by the appliance, the link may be selected, either manually or automatically, and a browser session may be activated. Although this may preserve bandwidth, a delay is possible.
It will now be recognized that the invention described herein may be used to automatically invoke necessary applications corresponding to and allows an external search consistent with its internal and external pre-conditioned discovery functions in response to data input, thus enabling a user to interact with search results with minimal effort.
The invention may be embodied as a method.
Although the present invention has been described with respect to one or more particular embodiments, it will be understood that other embodiments of the present invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Hence, the present invention is deemed limited only by the appended claims and the reasonable interpretation thereof.

PHOENIX Talk about the Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen and the conversation will undoubtedly focus on right-handers Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford. Last season, after Rodriguez was acquired the night of the All-Star game to set up for Axford, the back end of Milwaukee's bullpen was perhaps the best eighth and ninth inning combination in all of baseball. With a top-flight starting rotation that regularly worked deep into games, the K-RodAxford combination effectively shortened games into seven-inning affairs. But on the rare occasion when a starter couldn't work deep, manager Ron Roenicke had the luxury of turning the ball over to some fairly effective middle relievers. Milwaukee's bullpen ranked among the league leaders in several categories including WHIP (2nd, 1.22), ERA (5th, 3.32) and saves (5th, 47). They were near the bottom in total innings pitched (449.2), earned runs (166), losses 23) and hits (410). Those numbers become even more impressive when taking into account th...

Not sure which conditioning treatment to use? We love Miss Jessie's® Original Super Sweetback Treatment.
Miss Jessie's® Original
Availability: In stock
Sometimes wrangling our curls seems so challenging, we wish we could send our locks to hair obedience school. Luckily, Miss Jessie's (aka the curl-whisperer) trains hair to behave itself. Exhibit A: This gentle wide-toothed comb. Use it to thoroughly detangle kinked strands while minimizing breakage (the main cause of frizz) and keeping your ringlets intact.
This Detangling Comb is great to use in conjunction with your favorite Miss Jessies conditioning treatment. After letting the treatment sit, rinse most of it out, and then gently run this comb through your hair, detangling section by section. Follow with your favorite styling product. Tip: After 10 uses, care for your comb by washing it in warm water and detergent.
This comb is the best comb i have ever used! After i have curled my hair and i get out of the shower, my hair is always tangled and this works wonders! I love it so much!
I use it every morning! It's the best comb, I swear this is the only reason I have long hair! I ever use a brush only a wide tooth comb!
I like that its very study and doesnt bend at all. Its wide tooth and is perfect. Its also the perfect size to fit into purse.
I bought this comb over two years ago, and it still has the same quality it did when I bought it. It's easy on my curls, and keeps the bounce. I recommend this comb for anyone!
Overall it's a great wide-tooth comb, but you must be careful of the sharp pointed ends, while combing your hair.
I have really curly hair. the comb definitely works, but the teeth on the comb are a little sharp. I will continue to use it until I find something better.
Great comb to detangle my hair after washing! It also works after I have curled my hair so that I am able to create a softer curl look
As soon as I opened the box I knew I had a problem. This comb reeks of cheap tires or something. My whole bathroom smelled of it. I really should return it but is it worth the effort. The comb is also sharp and brittle. ugh what a waste.
This comb was terrible. The ends are very pointy and sharp killing my scalp. Ouch! I'll stick to my cheap goody comb and mason Pearson brush. This is going back! No clue how it has such great reviews.
I use this every single day on my long and curly hair! It works whether I am detangling wet or detangling dry hair. Like the size which fits my hand and works just like it is advertised! Love it!

Q: IS the Saxon MAth/DIVE set compatible with Windows 7?
The set is compatible with Windows 98 and higher.
Q: Is Saxon Geometry supposed to follow Algebra 1? I am not sure about the order in which to teach Saxon Math. In school it is Algebra 1, Geometry then Algebra 2. With Saxon I am not sure. Looking for some clarification. Thank you
If you are using the 3rd edition Algebra books you can follow them with Geometry. If you are using 4th edition the publisher recommends completing Geometry between Algebra 1 and 2.

A method for the digital detection of both transparent and opaque documents with a CCD-recording element equipped with a zoom lens; a document holder; an illuminating device; a masking unit comprising elements for covering the edges of the documents; and an element for determining the size of the document, which comprises the following steps:
a) placing the document on the document holder;
b) determining the size of the document by means of the CCD-recording element, the CCD-recording element operating in a still-video function wherein a plurality of images of reduced resolution are recorded per second;
c) automatically adjusting the zoom lens associated with the CCD-recording element to the document;
d) using the still-video function to automatically adjust the masking by the masking unit to the size of the document;

h) further processing the stored data in the PC or in external data processing equipment.
The invention relates to a method and to a device for the digital detection of both transparent and opaque documents, with a CCD pick-up element, a document holder, an illuminating device, as well as elements (masking unit) for covering the edges of the documents.
A device of the type specified above is known from DE-OS 42 17 210.
Said device is employed for the digital detection of X-ray pictures and has an image pick-up element designed as a CCD-line. Said pick-up element is employed in the form of commercially available hand-held scanner picking up reflected light, or as a flat-bed scanner—which is commercially available as well—with a stepping motor for moving the image pick-up element.
A hand-held 256-grey tone scanner with a resolution of 400 dpi is preferably employed.
However, the pick-up process takes a very long time because the lines are picked up one by one, so that the achievable throughput rate is low, on the one hand. On the other hand, precautionary measures requiring much expenditure have to be implemented for keeping the illumination required for the pick-up proce-s constant.
Furthermore, only a few present document sizes can be processed by means of the known device. For other document sizes, provision is made for placing opaque screening strips on the document for covering the edges of the latter. This has an additional negative effect on the handling of the known device and further increases the expenditure in terms of time.
In view of the fact that predominantly analog X-ray pictures will be produced in the field of radiology over the next 10 to 15 years, which have to be digitized so that they can be optimally filed, processed further and used without problems, for example in the field of tolemedicine, excessive demands are made upon the known device for handling said tasks in a satisfactory manner. Furthermore, distinct losses ensue in this connection of the image quality versus analog images.
Therefore, the invention is based on the problem of designing a method and a device of the type specified above in such a way that both can be controlled in a simple and quick manner, on the one hand, and that documents of any type and size can be reproduced without any loss of quality, on the other.
The invention solves said problem with respect to the method according to the characterizing part of claim 1 by the following process steps:
(a) Placement of the document on the document holder.
(b) Determination of the size of the document.
(c) Automatic adjustment of the zoom lens to the document.
(d) Automatic adaptation of the masking unit to the size of the document.
(e) Start-up of the exposure process.
(f) Automatic adjustment of the illumination by determining the dynamic range of the image intensity.
(g) Exposure of the CCD-chip in the camera (one shot).
(h) Reading of the digitized data into the memory of the PC.
(i) Further processing of the stored data in the PC or on external data processing equipment.
Furthermore, the invention solves said problem according to the characterizing part of claim 2 in that the pick-up element is a CCD-camera, which is equipped with a motor-driven zoom lens with automatic focusing; that the masking unit is arranged below the document holder between the latter and the camera, said masking unit consisting of four opaque roller blinds with motor-driven adjustment, each two of which opposing one another are arranged in such a way that they can be synchronously adjusted relative to each other; and that the drive of the zoom lens and the drive of the masking unit are controllable in coordination with each other via a software.
In the aforementioned DE-OS 42 17 201, reference is already made to the use of the CCD-cameras with a flat CCD-sensor, in connection with which the image to be detected is read into the CCD-chip in the course of one single exposure process.
However, such a camera is said to have various drawbacks such as, for example the occurrence of edge distortions, which are said to lead falsification of the reproduced image, as well as the alleged necessity of extensive adjustment work.
Said prejudices are overcome by the design of the device as defined by the invention.
The device as defined by the invention is not suitable only for digitalizing analog X-ray pictures of technical or medical origin or other transparent documents to be processed by the transillumination method, but also for detecting other documents by reflected light.
The document is picked up the CCD-camera equipped with the self-focusing zoom lens in one single exposure process, whereby the control of the camera, the selection of the cutout and sharp focusing take place fully automatically, or via a user panel associated with the device.
In particular the enlargement of the motorized zoom lens located in front of the CCD-converter is controlled by the size of the image to be digitized, because the sensitive surface area of the CCD-converter can be optimally exploited in this way.
Said adaptation is realized by an allocation table stored in the form of data in a PC, said table containing the function of the size of the image and of the position of the zoom lens. In this connection, the geometric dimensions of the image to be digitized can be either preset manually (via a user panel), preferably graduated, or automatically recognized, for example by means of known methods of image processing.
Subsequently, the process of the zoom lens takes place successively according to the table described above, by means of a preferably voltage-controlled interface in the PC.
The adjustment of the masking unit is connected with the coordination of the position of the zoom lens and the detection of the size of the image. Said masking unit serves the purpose of shielding the light which, with documents which are smaller than the dimensions of the document holder, would otherwise radiate past the document, so that no undesirable light can incide in the optics of the camera.
According to the invention, the adjustment of the masking unit may take place semi- or fully automatically.
With semiautomatic masking, the roller shades of the masking unit are selected for the required adjustment to document sizes—which were previously defined in a fixed manner—by means of keys via the user panel. The control takes place either directly from the panel or via the PC.
With fully automatic masking, the camera recognizes the document size by means of an installed still-video function, in connection with several images are picked up per second with reduced resolution, and controls the masking roller shades upon such recognition to the respective size of the document to be picked up.
The masking unit consists of four roller shades, which are arranged and coupled in pairs opposing each other, so that roller shades opposing one another move symmetric to the center of the image. In this way, the document is always exactly placed over the optics of the camera. So that centric placement of the document with respect to the optical axis of the pick-up optics is secured, a positioning aid (e.g. in the form of a preferably optically projected diagonal cross on the document holder) is applied with the illumination cover open.
Furthermore, it is possible by means of the still-video function to determine documents cutouts that can be selected in any desired way. After such selection has been completed, said document cutouts are positioned in such a way that the cutout is exactly disposed above the camera optics.
The device as defined by the invention is advantageously equipped with both a transillumination and a reflected illumination unit. The transillumination unit forms a light cover and radiates through the image to be digitized (for example X-ray film) from behind. The light source as such consists of, for example at least four powerful flash tubes, their individual power being variable and adjustable from about 120 watts to about 240 watts. The arrangement of said four tubes assures absolutely uniform transillumination of the documents, so that no scatter will occur in the conduction of the light.
The illumination is controlled with the help of the determination of the dynamic range of the image intensity with the installed still-video function and a control algorithm implemented in the software, or through internal measurement.
The CCD-camera as the center piece of the device has a CCD-chip, which has a minimum size of 1 K/1 K and an s/w chip with a data depth of at least 12 bit. The data are picked up and evaluated via a software control. Said software assumes functions such as contrast control as well as recognition of the density of the document. In this way, it is assured that the reproduction does not have any shift of the grey shades in view of the original, and that no falsification occurs.
For digitizing opaque documents, the device has an illumination device approximately mounted in the plane of the camera, which illuminates the document from below through the masking unit. For this purpose, provision is made according to the invention that a roller shade made of light-absorbing material, whose surface facing the camera is blackened, is pulled over the entire illumination area of the transillumination unit in order to exclude interfering reflections. The roller shade is motor-driven and actuated, for example via the user panel.
The computer responsible for controlling the overall device and for storing and further processing the digital data collected is a PC, which is integrated in the device. Said PC, furthermore, is connectable to external data processing equipment.
However, the device also may operate in a self-supporting manner if the PC has a mass storage unit in which large amounts of data can be stored on site.
The device offers the possibility of data input. The data (for example patient-related data) can be stored in addition to the digitized image. The data entered can be input manually in the short form and allocated to an already existing master file of a data base that exists independently of the device (security compensation).
The unflawed functioning of the device (e.g. the condition of the illumination device and the correct adjustment of the optical components) can be controlled both locally on the device and via remote polling with the help of the reproduction of standard documents and a successive comparison with the fixed to the expected.
The overall device is accommodated in a housing, in connection with which the transillumination unit forms a cover which can be folded onto the document holder. The housing is a frame-type construction made from square sections. Their side walls are secured by means of screws or other service- and maintenance-friendly fasteners and can be removed at any time, so that the interior of the device and its components such as the masking unit, the CCD camera and the computer are easily accessible. So as to facilitate servicing of the device even further, the reflected-light unit, the transillumination unit, the camera, and computer and the masking unit are structured as modules that can be replaced without any problem.
The software of the device handles the following tasks: First, the transmission of data between the PC and the camera. Second, control of image enlargements by displacing the motor-driven zoom lens with automatic focusing. Third, representation and processing of the image data.
The transmission of data and information from the digital camera to the PC is realized via an SCSI-interface, or preferably via a PCI-interface. The transmission of information from the PC to the camera includes selection of the exposure time and fixation of the start of image pick-up in terms of time. The data transmission includes reading of the digitized image data of the camera into the operating memory of the PC.
With respect to intensity, the image data transmitted from the camera to the PC have a dynamic range of at least 12 bit (or 4096 grey levels), as already described above. For display on the monitor of the PC it is necessary to select the dynamic range of the image to be represented. This is accomplished by means of usually applied software methods such as grey shade spreading etc. The image data can be stored by means of the software both in unreduced intensity dynamics and reduced dynamics (e.g. as eight-bit data), using commercially available image file formats, preferably the TIF-format.
Reproductions of colored documents can be realized in the transillumination or reflected light either with a color-sensitive CCD-chip or a color filter wheel. Automatic calibration of the documents is supplemented by using a color wedge in the measuring range. The software is expanded by this control of said function.
The device as defined by the invention is comparable with respect to handling to a normal copier, which makes the application of the device extremely user-friendly.
The invention is explained and represented in greater detail in the following with the help of drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of the digitizing device.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the masking unit; and
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the masking unit according to FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 shows in a schematized form a device for the digital detection of both transparent and opaque documents such as X-ray pictures, drawings, maps, text documents, said device generally being denoted by reference numeral 1.
Said device consists of a housing 2, which is structured from a frame construction with wall parts 3, which can be screwed on, and with a bottom part 4. The top termination is formed by a document holder 5 which substantially consists of a glass plate. Document holder 5 is covered by a transluminating device 6, which is accommodated in a flat, box-like cover 7, which is connected with housing 2 via a binge 8. Four flash tubes 6′ are arranged in cover 7 in such a way that the light is distributed evenly. The distribution of the light is enhanced further by a frosted glass plate 9, which terminates the cover downwardly.
A roller shade, which can be wound on a shaft, is arranged (but not shown in the drawing) below said frosted glass plate 9. Said roller shade is unwound for reflected-light pick-ups and covers the entire frosted glass pane 9.
A masking unit generally denoted by reference numeral 10 is arranged in housing 2 below document holder 5.
As more clearly shown in FIG. 2, said masking unit consists of four roller shades 11, 12, 13, 14, whereby the two two roller shades 11, 13, and the two roller shades 12, 14 are arranged in pairs opposing each other on the respective shafts 15. For enlarging or reducing cutout 16, the two pairs of roller shades opposing each other are synchronously displaced against each other. This is accomplished by means of a serve-motor, which acts on the individual shafts 15 via suitable gearings.
A CCD-camera 17 is arranged in the lower region of housing 2 in the center. Said camera is equipped with a self-focusing zoom lens 18. In the plane of the camera or slightly above the latter, provision is made for an illuminating light unit 19, which consists of a plurality of lamps 20.
Finally, a PC 21 is arranged in housing 2. Said PC is connected to masking unit 10 via a control line A, to illuminating unit 19 via a line B, to zoom lens 18 via a control line C, to camera 17 via a data line D, and to transillumination unit 6 via a control line E.
Not shown is a connection for connecting PC 21 to an external data processing installation.
A user panel (also not shown) is available for operating and controlling device 1.
PC 21 operates with a suitable software, via which the adjustment of camera 17 or zoom lens 18 is controlled in association with illuminating device 6, 19 to be put into operation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the adjustment of masking unit 10 and the data transport between the camera and the PC, as well as between the PC and the camera.
The mode of operation of device 1 is explained by way of example in the following on an X-ray picture to be digitized.
The transparent document is placed on document holder 5 and cover 7 with transilluminating unit 6 is folded over the document. The digitizing process is now started via the user panel.
In order to optimally exploit the sensitive surface of the CCD-converter, the optical enlargement is adapted to the dimensions of the document by displacing the motorized zoom lens 18. Such adaptation is accomplished by means of an allocation chart stored in the form of data in the PC, said chart containing the dependence on the image size and on the position of zoom lens 18. The geometric measures of the image to be digitized can be either preset in this connection manually, preferably graduated, or automatically recognized, for example by methods of image processing. Thereafter, the zoom lens is successively displaced according to the above-described chart by means of a preferably voltage-controlled interface in PC 21. Masking unit 10 is put into operation simultaneously. With semiautomatic masking, roller shades 11 to 14 are dialed by means of key selection via the user panel for their required adjustment to previously defined and fixed document sizes, and controlled in this connection either directly from the panel or via the PC 21.
With fully automatic masking, the camera recognizes the document size by means of an installed still-video function and, upon such recognition, displaces roller shades 11 to 14, adapting the latter to the given size of the document.
The data read into the CCD-chip of camera 17 are transmitted via data line D to the memory of PC 21. Pick-up of the data and the evaluation take place via a software control. Said software control also assumes functions such as contrast control as well as detection of the density of the document.
The procedure employed in the digitalization of opaque documents is analogous. Only transilluminating unit 6 is shut off in this procedure, and reflected-light illuminating unit 19 is switched on. In this process, the roller shade arranged below transilluminating unit 6 is pulled over the entire light outlet surface of transilluminating unit 6.

SLIDESHOW: Are we kicking off for a repeat of former glory?
Posted: August 10, 2014|
It's back – league football gets up and running this weekend, with newly-promoted Cambridge United straight into the fray.
The U's first match is today, when they entertain Plymouth, and hopes are high that the Newmarket Road club can emulate its achievements of the past and do well during the coming season. After today's game, the next challenge is Birmingham, in the first round of the League Cup, and United will then face four other opponents in August – Portsmouth, York, Morecambe and Carlisle.
Our archive pictures here hark back to the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and feature players and fans. From 1971, the year after United were first elected to the Football League, there is an action shot from the game between the U's and Weymouth, and in 1979 a new club coach is being christened with a bottle of bubbly.
From 1984, we have photos of two former Cambridge United legends, Graham Daniels and Steve Fallon, and in 1988, a picture of team members relaxing with a game of cricket in the New Forest.
In 1990, a group of young fans are getting ready to support the team in the Fourth Division play-offs at Wembley, which the Cambridge side went on to win.
While Cambridge United is generally in the limelight, as are Cambridge City and Histon, there is another claim to fame on the Cambridge football scene – Cambridge Women's FC.
The female football club started life as Pye Ladies in the 1980s, and then in 2001 became Cambridge City Ladies FC, who won promotion to the South East Combination League in the 2006-7 season. They merged with Cambridge United Women in 2009 to form Cambridge Women's Football Club.
The club's chairman David Baker told Memories he hoped United would have a great season – and passed on the best wishes of the Cambridge girls to the Cambridge boys.
He said: "I was there at the play-off final at Wembley and was delighted that Cambridge United will now be back in the league again. It's great for Cambridgeshire to have as many high ranked teams as possible. Funding is improved and there is a general benefit for the wider community.
"Dave, Jez, Richard and the whole structure at CUFC have done a fantastic job in transforming the club so positively in so many ways since their arrival. I will be there today to see United versus Plymouth. All our best wishes from CWFC."

You've likely encountered the work of writer and editor Ada Calhoun—whether it's her editorial work on Babble.com, of which she was founding editor, her pieces for Time and New York magazines, or her blog conversation 90s Woman—where, among many other admirable feminist pursuits, she and author Kara Jesella try to pinpoint the "most 90s woman" song of 2010.
Now Calhoun has published her first book, Instinctive Parenting: Trusting Ourselves to Raise Good Kids, which chronicles her life as a new mother and outlines her parenting philosophy. Consider her the feminist lit voice for a back-to-basics approach to mamahood in the era of "helicopter parenting," the obsessive Gen X and Y response to the laissez-faire style of their parents. It may just be the only parenting book blurbed by Kathleen Hanna.
Page Turner recently interviewed Calhoun about her take on parenting culture, the gender spectrum in raising a boy, her "get out of hell" mantra for crisis moments, and how playground life circa 2010 really can evoke Heathers-era teen flicks.
Susan Douglas's seminal 1995 book Where the Girls Are: Growing Up with the Mass Media explored how woman see and are seen in pop culture, tracing feminism in
pop culture from the 1950s and '60s through the 1980s. Her newest book, Enlightened Sexism: The Seductive Message That Feminism's Work is Done, revisits the subject of women's representation in the mass media, and finds a troubling series of mixed messages, empty "empowerment," and consumer imperatives masquerading as postfeminist power.
As longtime fans of Douglas's wit, irreverance, and spot-on critique, Bitch is thrilled to feature the epilogue of Enlightened Sexism. It's after the jump, as is an interview with Douglas by Andi Zeisler.
"I learn that black people don't have blue eyes. I learn that I am black. I have blue eyes. I put all these new facts into the new girl."
Even though the tone of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky reads like a young adult novel, told simply from the point of view of the characters--a young boy fascinated by birds, an immigrant mother, Rachel, the young protagonist--the book itself is drenched in disturbing realities and complex subjects, including race and identity.

Welcome back: Steve Nash throws halfcourt alley-oop pass in return (VIDEO)
Feb 5, 2014, 12:50 AM EDT
There were plenty of moments in his return where Steve Nash looked rusty, but there were moments where he looked like the Steve Nash we remember as well.
For an example of the latter, check out the half-court alley-oop pass to Wesley Johnson from Nash.
Nash had nine assists but it wasn't enough to lift the Lakers. Which is not really a surprise since the Lakers defense is really their big issue (they have given up 1oo or more points in 15 straight games). Still, good to see Nash back on the court and playing again.
- money2long - Feb 5, 2014 at 1:59 AM
Still one of the best passers in the league
- eureca323 - Feb 5, 2014 at 3:04 AM
Nash looked good it was nice to see. It was pretty much first time hes looked good since like March of last year. Its been a constant struggle for him since then. Actually since he broke his leg in October of 2012 it has been a struggle for him.
I hope he can find a way to stay healthy to end his career, but that is easier said than done.
- apkyletexas - Feb 5, 2014 at 10:01 AM
Tied for the worst record in the West with the Kings and Jazz. Nice job Lakers!
- asimonetti88 - Feb 5, 2014 at 11:09 AM
if that surprises you, you haven't looked at the lineups lately.

Correct, but still, I pull for Nash…
