A remote control receiver responds to a coded signal from a transmitter by actuating a switch that in turn acts to deliver power to a load or device connected to it. This switch responds not to one specific signal using a particular format, but instead it acts in response to any existing signal originating from any of a plurality of remote control transmitters. This switch, therefore, allows a remote control transmitter intended solely for activating and controlling a single device to control any such device provided the switch is attached to it in the manner disclosed.
1. A remote control infrared receiver for use with a remote control infrared transmitter characterized by a cyclic control signal in which each cycle includes a reader code and a user selectable variable custom and data code for actuating one of several possible functions in a first controlled device, comprising:
memory circuit means for stretching the reader pulse code and shaper circuit means for converting said stretched pulse to an output signal;
wherein said memory circuit means comprises capacitor charging means and capacitor discharge means driving said shaper circuit means, said discharge means having a discharge time greater than the interval between reader code pulses in successive cycles; and
wherein said shaper circuit means comprises amplifier means for deriving a constant amplitude output of duration greater than the cycle time of said control signal;
whereby said cyclic pulsed control signal is converted by said receiver to a constant amplitude pulse of minimum duration greater than said cycle time independently of the pulse coding content of the received signal; and
switch means selectively responsive to a signal having said minimum duration.
2. A remote control receiver comprising:
sensor means for detecting a transmitted control signal;
switch means for controlling power to a load;
said switch means actuated by an input voltage in excess of a given level and of a minimum duration; and
circuit means connected between said sensor means and said switch means for converting a pulse coded signal having variable pulse coded content sensed by said sensor means to said input voltage of amplitude and duration sufficient for actuating said switch means irrespective of the pulse coded content of said coded signal.
3. The receiver of claim 2 wherein said pulse coded signal is a cyclic signal each cycle including a plurality of code pulses and wherein said circuit means comprise amplifier means having an output connected for actuating said switch means, capacitor means connected to an input of said amplifier means, first means connected to said sensor means for charging said capacitor means and second means for discharging said capacitor, said first and second means characterized by time constants such that said amplifier means is driven responsive to a portion of each said cycle to an output of amplitude sufficient to actuate said switch means and duration in excess of said pulse code cycle, whereby different transmitted pulse code cycles of said pulse coded signal are all converted to the same output signal for actuating said switch means.
4. A remote control infrared receiver for use with a transmitter characterized by a cyclic control signal in which each cycle includes a repeating reader code and a variable data code intended to control operation of a multiplicity of functions in a first device, comprising:
infrared sensor means for detecting the transmitted control signal;
switch means for controlling power to a second device, said switch means actuatable by a control voltage in excess of a given level and of a minimum duration; and
amplifier means having an output connected for actuating said switch means, capacitor means connected to an input of said amplifier means, first means connected to said sensor means for charging said capacitor means and second means for discharging said capacitor, said first and second means characterized by time constants such that said amplifier means is driven responsive to said repeating reader code portion of said pulse cycle to an output of amplitude sufficient to actuate said switch means and duration is excess of said pulse code cycle, whereby a plurality of transmitted pulse code cycles of said pulse coded signal are converted to constant level signal of duration greater than said variable data code portion of each said cycle for acturating said switch means irrespective of the variable data coded content of said pulse code cycles.
5. The receiver of claim 4 wherein said first means comprise first diode means and first resistor means connected in series between said sensor means and said capacitor means for charging said capacitor means, and said second means comprise second diode means and second resistor means likewise mutually in series but in parallel with said first diode means and first resistor means for discharging said capacitor means, said capacitor means defining with said second resistor means a time constant substantially greater than with said first resistor means.
6. A remote comtrol receiver for use with a remote control transmitter emitting a pulse coded control signal characterized by a cyclic pulse sequence adapted to control a first device, said receiver comprising:
integrating circuit means for integrating said pulse code sequence having variable pulse code sequences to a given output waveform having a duration greater than the pulse sequence cycle time, and switch actuating means driven by said waveform for controlling a second device responsively to said control signal but independently of said variable pulse code sequences.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains generally to the field of electrical control systems and more particularly relates to a remote controlled switch adapted to respond to a cyclic pulse coded control signal adapted to normally control the operation of a first device, such as a hand-held television infrared remote control transmitter.
2. State of the Prior Art
In recent years, remote control devices using infrared rays have become widespread. Due to the advanced signal processing technique and pulse coding of the control signals, these devices can accurately and rapidly remotely control different types and numbers of equipment in the same location without causing them to interfere with each other.
In conventional applications, however, as the number of remotely controlled devices increases, each of them requires a separate remote control signal generator or transmitter because interchangability among the pulse coded transmitter units is not generally available, and consequently control of the multiple devices becomes complicated.
It is therefore desirable to provide a remote controlled switch device which controls power to a particular load or device in response to any one of multiple but similar control signal transmissions, such as infrared transmissions, even though the transmitted signals are generated by different transmitter units, thus reducing the number of transmitter units necessary to control multiple devices.
More particularly, what is desirable is to provide a remote control receiver which is responsive to one or more existing remote control transmitter units which emit pulse coded control signals such as the cyclic pulse sequences characteristics of television infrared remote control transmitters wherein the control signal consists of pulse cycles, each cycle including a repeating custom pulse code and a variable data pulse code.
The aforementioned objective is achieved by the present invention which provides a remote control receiver which responds to the ouput of a transmitter unit by actuating a switch which in turn, can control power to a device or load connected to the same. The switch is responsive to a pulse coded signal, but it is independent of and insensitive to the variable pulse coded data content of the control signal. As a result, a single remote control transmitter unit originally intended for controlling a first device, can be also used to independently control a second device such as for example, a lighting fixture connected to the novel remote controlled switch. Further, the switch of this invention can be actuated by any of several existing remote control transmitter units each originally intended to control only a particular corresponding device, so long as the various transmitter units emit sufficiently similar control signals as will be apparent from the detailed description below.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first application of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing the waveform shaping stage in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3-1 shows a typical pulse coded control signal such as may be transmitted by the infrared transmitter unit 1 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3-2 shows the waveform derived by the waveform shaping stage of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 3-3 shows the constant amplitude output signal derived by the signal holding stage in FIGS. 1 and 2 for actuating the power switch;
FIG. 4 illustrates a typical application of the remote controlled switch installed for controlling a ceiling lamp fixture;
FIG. 5 is block diagram of a second exemplary application of this invention;
FIG. 6 is block diagram of a third exemplary application of this invention;
FIGS. 7-1 and 7-2 show waveforms derived in the system of FIG. 6.
In FIG. 1, numeral 1 denotes the remote control transmitting device which generates a prescribed optical signal such as infrared rays, and 2 is the receiving circuit comprising, for example, a photo transistor sensor for detecting the transmitted signal and converting the same to an electrical signal.
In this example, transmitter 1 generates an infrared pulse coded signal corresponding to the signal shown in FIG. 3-1 including a reader code alpha. The output timing T alpha of this reader code alpha is 9 ms and the cyclic period Tp=108 ms. Also, the beta portion indicates a typical custom code pulse sequence and gamma portion indicates a typical data code pulse sequence. Each of these codes possesses prescribed control details for a specific object to be controlled. (For instance, the channel selection code of the TV receiver).
Receiver 2 transforms the optical signal into the electrical signal shown in FIG. 3-1 and outputs it to the Switch Control Stage.
In this example, the Switch Control Stage 3 consists of the Waveform Shaping Circuit 4 and the Signal Holding Circuit 5. Of these, the Waveform Shaping Circuit 4 consists of the memory circuit 41 and the amplifier 42, as shown in FIG. 2.
The memory circuit 41 includes a first series circuit of diode D1 and resistor r which constitute a part of the charging circuit for the capacitor C and a second series circuit of diode D2 and resistor R which constitute the discharge circuit for the capacitor C. These charge and discharge circuits are connected mutually in parallel between the capacitor C and the opto-sensor as shown in the figure. The output waveform of these circuits is shown in FIG. 3-2 for the pulse coded signal input of FIG. 3-1 mentioned above.
In FIGS. 3-2 and 3-3, T1 is the capacitor charge time (T1=r.c(sec)) and T2 is the memory holding time (T2=R. C(sec)) during the capacitor discharge time which results in a stretching of the custom code pulse portion of each cycle of the input signal. T1 is made longer than the individual pulse width (0.5 ms) of the aforementioned custom code and data code, but shorter than the pulse width (9 ms) of the reader code pulse T alpha. For this reason, the memory circuit 41 in this application succussively integrates and retains the input signal and thereby outputs a waveform M characterized by the reader code T alpha. The amplifier section 42 which receives the output waveform M from the memory circuit 41 functions as an amplifier which sets the signal to a specified level. In other words, the signal, which is amplified by the amplifier 42, and waveform corrected, becomes the waveform delta as in FIG. 3-3 and sent into the Signal Holding Circuit 5.
The memory holding time T2 is set longer than Tp-(T alpha-T1) with respect to the period (108 ms) of the reader code T alpha.
When T1=0, T2>Tp-T=108-9=99 (ms). In this case, by receiving a repetition of the reader code T alpha, the output of the amplifier 42 is not interrupted even if the signal input is a repetition of the 108 (ms) periods, and becomes a one shot output which has a width proportionate to the combined width of the number of input cycles. For this reason, the amplifier 42 is not affected even if the aforementioned memory circuit 41 receives and stores numerous custom codes or data codes. As a result, when the signal received by the receiver 2 is not the same as alpha, no signal is generated from Waveform Shaping Circuit 4, and the misfunction caused by noise is almost completely eliminated. Also, the appropriate upper limit of T=2 was experimentally found to be the manual reaction speed of 200 to 500 (ms) of the operator.
In this application, the aforementioned Signal Holding Circuit 5 is made up of a flip-flop circuit which is set ON or OFF by the rise time of the input signal. The output of this Signal Holding Circuit 5 is sent to the Switch Circuit 6 as the output of the Switch Control Stage 3, and functions to turn the power circuit "on" or "off" for the Load 10.
As shown in Application Example 1, there is the advantage that the electric circuit of the lamp load 10 can be easily turned off or on, as shown in FIG. 4, when Transmitter 1 generates infrared rays, even if the infrared ray signal contains numerous different data intended for other equipment, since the initially received signal contains infrared rays only.
Application Example 2 is explained by referring to FIG. 5. In this application, the lamp load shown in FIG. 4 becomes the Load 10 of FIG. 1 and a Light Adjusting Circuit 11 is connected in series with the Switch Circuit 6, and the Light Adjusting Control Section 12 is made to change according to the length of the output signal delta of the aformentioned Waveform Shaping circuit 4. Other portions of the system are the same as those shown in FIG. 1.
Even with the added circuits, the circuit functions in manner similar to that of Application Example 1 and has the advantage of being able to control the light level repeatedly once the lamp is on.
Application Example 3 will be explained with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.
This application interposes a Differentiating Circuit 4A between the Waveform Shaping Circuit 4 and Signal Holding Circuit 5 in the Application Example 1 . The output from the Differentiating Circuit 4A becomes pulses delta p1 and delta p2 as shown in FIG. 7-2. The rectangular wave delta of FIG. 7-1 is the output of Waveform Shaping Circuit 4.
The rest of the system is the same as that of Application Example 1.
Even with these changes, the circuit possesses the same functional capability as the Application Example 1.
In application example 1, the switching of Signal Holding Circuit 5 was shown using the rise timing of signal delta, but the switching of Signal Holding Circuit 5 can also be configured to use the fall timing of signal delta. Also, in the application example 1, the reader code alpha was used, but it is not necessarily required to use reader code alpha. If the function is similar, other signals may be use to activate Waveform Shaping Circuit 4.

DiRT 2
This excellent new racer packs a nicely scriptable performance test. We tested at the game's "high" quality presets with 4X antialiasing.
The Core i5-661 takes the top spot at the lowest resolution, which counts as a victory in my book. The field groups up and becomes somewhat jumbled as the GPU bottleneck kicks in. Note, also, that the three slowest processors here all have just two cores and two hardware threads. DiRT 2 appears to benefit pretty straightforwardly from four threads.
Modern Warfare 2
With Modern Warfare 2, we used FRAPS to record frame rates over the course of a 60-second gameplay session. We conducted this gameplay session five times on each CPU and have reported the median score from each processor. We've also graphed the frame rates from a single, representative session for each. We tested this game at a relatively low 1024x768 resolution, with no AA, but otherwise using the highest in-game visual quality settings.
Lesson number one here is familiar: most games just don't need too terribly much CPU power to run well these days. Heck, our FPS minimums are in the 60s.
Relatively speaking, the i5-661 is just behind the Phenom II X4 965 and a little further behind the i5-750. One wonders what Intel was thinking when it priced the i5-661 opposite these processors. The Core i3-540, meanwhile, looks like dramatic progress from the Core 2 Duo E7600, although that Athlon II X4 630 remains formidable competition.
Source engine particle simulation
Next up is a test we picked up during a visit to Valve Software, the developers of the Half-Life games. They had been working to incorporate support for multi-core processors into their Source game engine, and they cooked up some benchmarks to demonstrate the benefits of multithreading.
This test runs a particle simulation inside of the Source engine. Most games today use particle systems to create effects like smoke, steam, and fire, but the realism and interactivity of those effects are limited by the available computing horsepower. Valve's particle system distributes the load across multiple CPU cores.
The Clarkdale processors benefit mightily here from Hyper-Threading, as does the Core i7-920.

Longing for a new pair of hiking boots? Rack up 30,000 points. Rather get a free iPod or a kitchen mixer? Hang in there until 50,000 points.
It's the evolution of health care, where insurance companies are handing out gift cards, gadgets, cash and frequent-flier style points to get customers to take responsibility for their health.
Companies and employers are moving beyond free gym memberships and organic food at the office cafeteria. Now they're dangling prizes to motivate workers to lose weight, lower their blood pressure, quit smoking — and perhaps most important, curb spending on medical costs by kicking chronic health problems.
"It's really trying to change the dynamic of insurance from being a finance game to being a health-and- wellness game," said Dan Oftedahl, president of the Colorado market for Humana. "Instead of punishing, it's rewarding."
Humana's latest program, which became available in Colorado Jan. 1, dishes out points for completing a health questionnaire, signing up for an online weight-loss coach, getting annual pelvic exams and mammograms or logging daily steps on a pedometer.
Employees keep track of their points online and can cash them in for movie-theater tickets, golf clubs and gift cards to REI or Best Buy.
Kaiser Permanente is introducing a similar program this spring, rewarding consumers who complete health- risk assessments and courses on stress management, nutrition or weight loss.
The company is working with Amazon.com, Macy's and 1-800-Flowers for gift-card options.
The incentive programs could cost a lot upfront, particularly if employers are doling out batches of gift cards every month. But they eventually will pay off because employers "get better health-care costs and improved productivity for their employees," said Leo Tokar, Kaiser's vice president of marketing, sales and business development for Colorado.
"People are trying to create a culture of health and wellness," he said.
The program is the latest phase in Kaiser incentives, which began a few years ago with free mammograms, wellness classes and "e-visits" with physicians in which patients chat with their doctors online. Kaiser soon hopes to reward consumers with gift cards for keeping up with cancer screens and annual checkups.
Paden Cormack, who works at the Denver Public Library, picked up a $20 gift card to King Soopers after filling out a health survey when she switched to Kaiser. She spent the whole card on a two-for-one sale of fruits and vegetables.
"Of course, I could have bought M&Ms with it," she said. "Usually, the things you win are things that will help you continue. It's really fun to win things."
But more important than the gift card, Cormack — who sits in front of a computer all day writing catalog entries for library books — was inspired to create a fitness plan.
After the health assessment told her she needed to lose weight, she started using the pop-up calendar on her computer to remind herself when to exercise. At 7:30 a.m., a half-hour after she gets to work, Cormack's computer tells her to stretch. At 9:30, she leaves her basement office and heads to a quiet corner on the library's second floor for 15 minutes of tai chi.
She makes the half-mile trek around Civic Center every day before lunch and then sneaks in more stretching in the afternoon and another set of tai chi before she goes home.
Cormack, 53, has lost more than 20 pounds and wants to lose 100 more.
Some companies are skipping the gift cards and hoping money grabs more attention.
United Healthcare's "Vital Measures" rewards the healthiest employees and punishes the ones who smoke or are overweight.
The plan starts with a $2,500 deductible, but customers can knock off up to $2,000 by passing four health measures: $500 off for not smoking, $500 off for low cholesterol, $500 off for healthy blood pressure and $500 off for an ideal body mass index.
Policyholders are weighed and measured and provide blood samples for cholesterol tests and urine samples for nicotine.
"Not only do you feel better, you look better, but you have a direct credit back toward your deductible," said Chris Stanley, senior medical director with United Healthcare of Colorado.
So far, no employers have purchased the plan in Colorado. But Stanley says the era of high-deductible health plans is coming.
Several companies have begun gradual steps to move away from health plans that offer everyone the same flat $20 co-payments for doctor visits and toward high-deductible plans that encourage employees to get healthier.
"Many employers are saying this is fascinating but it is too much of a step for our employees to do it right now," Stanley said.
"It's engaging in that personal responsibility," Stanley said. "It's engaging employers in particular with saying, 'I really need to start thinking about the health of my employees.' They end up being better workers. They are present more. There are not as many workman's-comp issues."
Federal research has shown that 80 percent of insurance claims in America would disappear with healthy lifestyle choices.
At StarTek, a Denver-based company that handles customer service for other corporations, employees who fill out Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield questionnaires are getting $10 credit cards. Company executives are hoping survey feedback inspires its 8,600 employees to get fit.
"We are also more transparent about health-care costs in an attempt to educate employees about the ramifications to their health and the costs to both themselves and the company," said Misti Molitoriss, senior director of compensation and benefits for StarTek.
The majority of the new incentive programs are geared toward large companies, which typically can afford to kick in more of the cost for employee health-care plans. Humana's rewards program is among the first available to companies with fewer than 100 employees.
Humana's program is partly in response to a state law that took effect Jan. 1 eliminating insurance companies' ability to slap higher rates on small employers with many sick, old or tobacco-using employees.
A proposal up for debate at the Capitol would push insurance companies to offer rebates to consumers, including those on individual plans, for completing wellness programs.
At Anthem, a 4-month-old program called "Healthy Lifestyles" allows employees to earn gifts for completing online programs to lose weight or quit smoking. The prizes are generally fitness-related — exercise balls, rubber resistance bands, pedometers and water bottles.
"It's slow to start," said Megan Smith, a senior account executive, "but money talks and people listen when you are talking about rewarding them financially."

I can understand the frustration by those in the private sector. Then, they see their taxes go up so public employees who sometimes earn more than them can enjoy decent raises and affordable heath care.
The response by many is to call for unionized employees to be pulled down to their level.
That sort of mirrors the mentality of dysfunctional individuals who are cruel to others to feel better about themselves. But to be fair, this is their lives, and they are not making it, or are barely making it, and they have bills to pay and food to put on the table.
Anyone would likely be angry in such a situation.
But shouldn't it all be about doing what is right by human beings and ensuring all hard-working Americans enjoy a livable wage, and decent salary increases and adequate health care and retirements that are somewhat predictable?
Well, to be fair there, it is not about any of that for the average private sector employer.
It is not about fair, it is about numbers.
It is about making those numbers work so the business survives and the employees working there take home a paycheck.
I know and have known many business owners and they want to pay their employees generously and they want to provide pensions and they want to offer adequate health care, and while some are able to, many are restrained by the numbers that would result in the business going under if those numbers were ignored.
The public sector is in the same mess, only it has contracts it must obey, so the result is fewer or more expensive services and higher taxes.
For the private sector, ignoring the numbers and simply providing what an employer believes an employee should receive would often mean no more business and no more jobs.
That doesn't seem like it would work for anyone.
So perhaps when people come out to decry higher taxes, everyone on both sides should instead get together and discuss what is broken.
Does it make sense to support a system that is increasingly failing to work for most Americans?
Are there ways to improve upon that system so it does work for everyone?
I don't know, but those are the discussions I would have, the ones that ultimately might work out better for everyone involved.

Cardiovascular Imaging
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for a third of all deaths nationally and is the major cause of chronic ill health in the UK. Therefore, it is in the national interest to improve outcomes in CVD, and we believe engineering and the physical sciences have a pivotal role to play, in particular with imaging. Cardiovascular imaging at UCL integrates clinicians, magnetic resonance sequence developers, biomedical engineers, and post-processing computer scientists to translate cardiovascular imaging developments from their basic concepts to acceptable use as diagnostics tests in patients. Examples of this rapid translation include the development of novel real-time MR sequences to provide fast MR scans in small children without the need for general anaesthetic; new biomarkers to measure myocardial extracellular volume to provide in-vivo assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis and cardiac amyloid; imaging and biomedical engineering modelling techniques to predict patient-specific selection of optimal device treatment.

I thought the VGA screen was going to be a real improvement, but despite being great in terms of quality, it seems to make very poor use of the resolution. Even with the text size set to smallest the top bar and bottom context bar take up the same percentage of screen as my Mini-S. Given I used the device mostly in landscape mode (ie. clam shell) the start menu actually had LESS vertical real-estate than my Mini-S does!
Is there any way to change this so it keeps the same resolution as my Mini-S does? IE. it doesn't scale everything to twice the size?

It takes a lot of extra grounders to add up to 300 points of OPS.
As far as I'm concerned: Gonzalez > Keppinger > Janish > Dusty Baker > Castro. But if starting Janish means we get to cut Castro, then by all means Janish.
Let's keep in mind than Janish hit .221/.278/.317 in AAA and .244/.358/.330 in AA last year. He basically is what Juan Castro used to be.

The Property Council of Australia has made a call for strata rules and regulations to be relaxed in order to prevent investors from being held back.
Chief executive of the Property Council, Ken Morrison has said that strata titles will increase as cities become more populated, and the system represents an "important form of ownership" for both residential and commercial property.
However Mr Morrison also said the current system comes with major disadvantages.
"It requires 100 per cent of owners to agree to wind up the scheme at the end of the building's physical or economic life," he said.
"Nothing lasts forever. As our cities evolve and grow, strata-titled buildings will need to be refurbished, renewed or demolished. However getting unanimous approval from even a dozen owners is a big challenge, but a few hundred is well-nigh impossible."
He said the current system is "a strata title straightjacket which risks locking up our cities".
The Property Council is asking for a decreased threshold and clearer renewal processes to help owners through a scheme termination.
Mr Morrison did admit that some states and territories are already heading in the right direction.
"Last week the WA government proposed a majority threshold for schemes of 10 or more lots which are more than 15 years old," he said.
"This month the NT parliament will consider legislation to do the same."
Mr Morrison said these proposals could be learnt from by other states such as NSW, "where reform momentum seems to have stalled".

With the cost of college soaring, many parents are finding it harder to pay for their child's college education and now a new survey says that parents want their kids to chip in.
According to a Fidelity Investments report, parents on average want their kids to pay for about one third of their college education through savings, working part time jobs and also taking out student loans.
Many parents plan to pay for about 64-percent of the total costs. That number is up from 57-percent in 2012.
Number 4:
There have been more Israeli airstrikes in Gaza this Saturday.
And undoubtedly, more children will suffer in the continued violence.
With more than 2,000 people killed, the psychological toll of the war affecting the strips most vulnerable, children.
The U.N. estimates 400,000 children in Gaza need therapy.
A child and family counseling and training center are working to rewire kids brains, in hopes of achieving some sort of normality.
Number 3:
A heat wave didn't stop demonstrators in Ferguson, MO from making their voices heard this weekend.
A local chapter of the NAACP held a march and rally this afternoon to call for justice for Michael Brown.
Protests have been happening in the St. Louis suburb for two weeks now, since Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown.
A grand jury is now handling the case to decide whether charges should be filed against Wilson.
Number 2:
Innocent until proven guilty, that's the rally cry for hundreds in Ferguson who turned out in support of Officer Darren Wilson.
Supporters wearing shirts with police badges, publicly stood by him and his actions.
Wilson is the officer who killed 19-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO sparking days of violent protests.
Number 1:
U.S. Senator John McCain said that ISIS control will extend beyond the region into Europe and the U.S.
And he isn't only one who believes this.
The 'Islamic State' is now seen as a greater threat than Al Qaeda.
U.S. Officials say ISIS has 15,000 active fighters and some believe it could be three times that, including thousands of foreign fighters.
They're gaining momentum, and money.
They have more than 2-billion dollars worth of assets and make about 2-million a day on oil supplies they control.

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
Callow Top Holiday Park has received lots of awards, and it's easy to see why: the location is great, and the list of facilities endless.
There's an on-site supermarket selling all the essentials, plus some carefully considered products such as camper-friendly barbeque packs (without any gastronomical prices). From May to September, visitors can callow-n around in the heated outdoor swimming pool and paddling pools. There's an amusement arcade, well-designed children's playgrounds and a games field with football and cricket pitches, plus a volleyball court. You can hire bikes, bait your hook at the fishing lake or do some twitching in the bird hide. In season, you won't need to go far for entertainment, with outdoor family discos, live bands, quiz nights and bingo all laid on. The cherry on the lager top is the place's own micro-brewery, which concocts tasty real ales under its 'Bad Ram' brand name.
Tummywise, the Callow Inn, a former drovers' inn on site, serves trad pub grub and children's meals as well as the aforementioned home brew. There's also a café bar with pool tables and satellite TV. Venture just a little further and you'll find loads of eateries in the pleasant market town of Ashbourne, including some that will deliver takeaway to the site.
Callow Top offers a mixture of non-serviced grass pitches for tents, plus hardstandings with electricity for campervans, caravans and trailer tents.
Dogs are welcome on site, but must be kept on leads at all times. Regretfully, dogs are not allowed in the Callow Inn, Arnold's Café Bar, Callow Top shop, swimming pool area or fishing lake/nature reserve.

Peter Kennaugh foiled the sprinters in an audacious solo victory on Stage 1 of the Critérium du Dauphiné on Sunday, 7th June. The Olympic champion used his pursuiter's power, honed by…
Team Sky's Ian Boswell cools down on the trainer after a Tour of California stage patiently. As if pedalling for five hours wasn't enough. The 24-year-old from Bend, Oregon hasn't been home to the United States since last year's Tour of California and is now calling Nice, France, "home" in conversation. Rapha caught up with the American for a quick chat.
SAN JOSE, California — Most of the others had gone to sign in, but Pete Kennaugh stayed behind for a word with Team Sky's Head of Performance Operations Rod Ellingworth, who leaned in and said something to the lean British champ no one could hear.
Elia Viviani's sprint victory on stage 2 of the Giro was a masterclass in slipstreaming, executed while wearing a prototype Rapha speedsuit. The Italian jumped from wheel to wheel in the lead up to the sprint, showing perfect decision-making at speeds of up to 60km/h to stay near the front. Following Lotto NL-Jumbo's Moreno Hofland up the final 500m drag, Viviani then made his burst for the line, winning by half a wheel.
Team Sky go into battle in Italy this month with Australian Richie Porte a contender for the pink jersey. Chris Froome's most trusted lieutenant has turned general this year, leading Team Sky from the front to take several stage race wins since the start of the season. Rapha sat down with the Tasmanian, who was wearing Rapha's newly launched Italian Country Jersey, to talk leadership, the sweet taste of victory and war stories from the road.
Lars Petter Nordhaug assumed the mantle of the 'Grand Old Duke of York' at the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire, marching his Team Sky men to the top of the hills, and then back down again onto victory. The Norwegian won the General Classification at the three-day race by eleven seconds over Europcar's Thomas Voeckler and BMC Racing's Samuel Sanchez, after a testing parcours took the peloton up and over the county's endless hills.
With his last ever race in Team Sky colours looming, Sir Bradley Wiggins spoke to Rapha about the unique draw of Paris-Roubaix, as well as his past experiences at the race and how he has prepared for this year's edition. Merci Roubaix, merci Wiggo.
Rapha sat down with Sir Bradley Wiggins during a Team Sky training camp in Mallorca to discuss his career with the team, future legacy and the ever-growing popularity of cycling in Great Britain. As frank and interesting as always, the 2012 Tour de France winner's presence in the peloton will be missed.
Spring is a special time for those cycling fans who like their racing fast, furious and tough as old cleats. Throughout March and April, Belgium dominates the pro calendar, with its cobbled and hilly Classics, a series of unforgiving one-day races. If your idea of cycling is of featherweight climbers floating up and over sunny alpine passes, come to Belgium for a different view; here you'll be served a dollop of mud on cobbles, and a rainy battlefield of competition between 85kg sluggers.

Smile, it's almost Spring :)
Pretty much just the average girl next door. I work a lot and don't get out of my close nit community so I thought I'd try to meet new people on here. Other than my children if I had to name something I couldn't live without it would be music. Think the ipod was the greatest invention ever. Have everything on mine from Bob Seger and Kid Rock, Blake Shelton and Kenny Chesney, Staind and Linkin Park to the Temptations. I am sure my children don't think it is so great since they are stuck listening to me sing my heart out while dancing and cleaning :) Safe to say I that I enjoy sports. Not sure there are many people in Pittsburgh that do not. I do enjoy college football more than pro and love the Crimson Tide. Don't tell anybody but there are some Saturdays that I push off my home duties so I can be a couch potato and watch College Game Day and flick back and forth from one game to another. Appreciate any guy that can keep up with the different divisions and stats and can discuss why a team should be ranked or not. I need some help in that area. I'm honest and loyal to a fault. While I can be very sweet and adoring, I do enjoy being a smart@ss to get a laugh. I will be the first one to offer a helping hand and the last to ask for one. Looking for somebody to laugh and have fun with when I have free time. Somebody that is witty and smart but not full of themselves. Could care less how much money somebody makes as long as they are making an effort to make something. Obviously we all want somebody that we are physically attracted to and for me that is found more in someone's eyes and smile than anything else. Somebody that is confident but not judgemental. Most importantly, somebody that respects themselves so that they know what it means to respect somebody else.

I love good food as long as somebody else is preparing it. Good cook is not in my description. Enjoy listening to music way more than watching tv.
Love going to any kind of sporting event and concerts. Ice skating with my kids. Reading a book I can't put down preferably outside in the sunshine.

I just checked eBay and saw the Digilux 1 that sold for $133. However, there was also one that sold yesterday for $398! So, based on some comments in this thread, maybe that $133 was a spectacular deal. Hmmmm?

Louvre Youth HostelParis, France
Not a great hostel. Only had to do one night waiting for a flight, but I wouldn't go back. The rooms and beds were run down, the showers weren't great, reading light didn't work in my bed, only one outlet by the door in a room for 10, wifi cost money, no lockers in room. The one-key system for the entire room is silly. And a 9:30 checkout is pretty early if the hostel is designed for young backpackers. However the location was incredible, right next to The Louvre and the breakfast was great.
Sant Jordi Sagrada FamiliaBarcelona, Spain
Great hostel. I stayed here in 2011 and they have kept their standard high. Clean rooms, bathrooms and showers. Rooms a bit tight, but comfortable beds with reading light and power outlet. Lockers in fit big bags. Wi-fi worked in the room as well. Common area is large with seats and free computers. Kitchen facilities work well with 3 separate stove tops and a large oven. This place has everything you need in a hostel, but the location is a bit out of the way.
Fabrizzio GuesthouseMadrid, Spain
Location was incredible, directly overlooking Plaza Mayor. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were alright. One was better than the other, which was quite cramped. Kitchen was fine, we were able to cook a dinner for ourselves and the owner joined us for a glass of wine. Map was provided and the wi-fi worked well everywhere. Only suggestion would be to have security lockers. If not for the big bags than at least for things such as passports, laptops and camera.
Equity Point MarrakechMarrakech, Morocco
The most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed in. An incredible riad in the centre of the Medina with a pool, plenty of seating to relax and an amazing rooftop terrace with views of the city. Room was a bit tight in an 8 bed dorm and an ensuite. Mattresses were concave, but it was fine. Staff were helpful. Location was easy after you found your way there once. Directions on the hostel's website were great, just one main street and a u-turn. Would stay again for sure, nicer than a hotel.
Tangier Melting Pot HostelTangier, Morocco
No other option in Tangier, but the hostel is fine. Location is difficult to find at first, as in any Medina, but once you find it (use the Hotel Continental as a landmark) you won't have any more problems. All the locals in the area are friendly, they simply just want 10-20 Durhams to show you to your destination or a tour of the Medina. You can say no. Hostel is a bit run down, but the staff were very nice, the roof terrace is beautiful and bathrooms/showers are clean enough. Good hostel.
Oasis Backpackers' Palace SevillaSeville, Spain
Massive hostel with a lot of rooms. Too many beds in a room with only one en-suite bathroom. Roof terrace is beautiful with reasonably priced drinks. Hostel is very big, not ideal for solo or pair travelers. Ideal for large groups who want to party. In a very cool part of town and easy to walk to the cathedral and main streets. Not my favourite style of hostel, but a fine place to stay. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Beds were fine. Planned activities each night.
Garden House HostelPorto, Portugal
Fantastic hostel. Very comfortable and in a beautiful building. Beds are nice with reading lights and large lockers for bag storage. Bathrooms are clean with plenty of toilets and showers for the entire floor. Wi-fi worked in my room even though they said it was only in the lounge. Great common areas inside and in the garden to meet people. Kitchen facilities were fine, able to cook my own meals. Location is easy to locate and at most a 20 minute walk to wherever you need to go. Would go back
Five Elements Hostel FrankfurtFrankfurt, Germany
Great hostel, one of my favourites in Europe. Rooms are clean and spacious with lockers for large bags. Bathrooms are separate and clean, but not enough showers and the one was overflowing. Lounge areas are fantastic with cheap pints and free pool and table football. Very easy to meet new people and wi-fi throughout the building worked well. Would definitely stay here again. Area of town wasn't as bad as people say. Sketchy people on the street but no one bothers you if you keep to yourself.
Yes! Lisbon HostelLisbon, Portugal
The location was perfect making all areas of town easily walkable. Staff were friendly, rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. They cooked 10 euro dinners every night with 3 drinks included, which is a fair deal and easy way to meet other people. Lounge area was comfortable.
Baixa-Portugal Terrace HostelFaro, Portugal
I had an extremely positive experience at this hostel. The owner, Luis, was fantastic and very accommodating of my unique situation where I was waiting for a package to arrive. He has studied hostels around the world and created an experience that includes everything one needs to enjoy international travel. Rooftop terrace is beautiful and perfect for meeting other travelers. Cooking facilities, comfortable beds, lockers, etc. I plan on staying here again and would highly recommend for anyone.
High Street HostelEdinburgh, Scotland
Had a fantastic stay and was really impressed with the hostel. Only complaint I noticed when researching the hostel was no power outlets in the room, but there was one outlet in my room, one in the hall, and plenty available to leave behind the desk in reception. Definitely was not an issue. They cleaned the beds and replaced the sheets/pillows every day, even though I was staying 3 nights. Absolutely nothing wrong with this hostel. Would happily stay again and recommend to others.

Compressible lock washers for use in catheter connectors. One such lock washer (60) includes a support ring (62) and tube engagement flanges (64) extending centrally therefrom, oblique to the ring and each extending from the same side thereof. The tube engagement flanges (64) define a tube receptacle (72) through which a catheter tube (58) may be inserted. Upon compression of the lock washer (60), the tube engagement flanges (64) are force toward the ring (62), decreasing the diameter of the tube receptacle (72). Thus, during compression of the lock washer (60), the tube engagement flanges (64) engage the catheter tube (58) which runs through the tube receptacle (72), securing the catheter tube within the catheter connector (20) with which the lock washer is associated.
1. A lock washer for use in a catheter connector, comprising:
a ring defining a periphery of the lock washer; and
a plurality of tube engagement flanges associated with and extending centrally from said ring, each of said tube engagement flanges having a central tip, central tips of at least selected ones of said plurality of tube engagement flanges defining a tube receptacle for receiving and retaining a tube within said lock washer and;

This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/007,460, filed Jan. 15, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,993,437, issued Nov. 30, 1999.
This invention generally relates to connectors for catheters which introduce fluids into body cavities. More specifically, the invention relates to devices disposed within catheter connectors which prevent the dislocation of a catheter tube from a catheter connector.
Catheter connectors are well known. One such device, which is commonly referred to as a "Tuohy-Borst" connector, includes two threaded members which enclose an elongated, compressible O-ring. In use of that device, a catheter tube is inserted into one of the connector members and inserted through a channel defined by the O-ring. Upon engagement of the two threaded members, the O-ring is longitudinally compressed, decreasing the cross-sectional diameter of the channel and frictionally securing the catheter tube therein.
A similar device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,053,015 to Gross (Oct. 1,1991). The catheter connector of Gross includes a body member, into which a catheter tube is insertable, a compression member which locks into the body member upon interconnection therewith, and a compressible, elongated plug disposed in the body member. In use of that device, a catheter tube is inserted into the body member and through a channel of the elongated plug. Upon engagement of the body and compression members, the elongated plug is compressed, which decreases the cross-sectional diameter of the channel and frictionally secures the catheter tube therein. The connector assembly of Gross also includes a slip washer, which merely facilitates the rotational interconnection of the body and compression members (i.e., by screwing the complementary threaded body and compression members together).
Such devices are somewhat problematic in that the sole use of a compressible member having a channel formed therethrough may be insufficient to adequately secure a catheter tube within the connector especially if the catheter surface gets wet before insertion of the catheter tube into the connector.
Although the previously-described catheter connectors work well for many applications, it has been found that an additional catheter tube-securing element prevents dislocation of a catheter tube from the catheter connector to an even greater degree.
The invention thus includes a compressible lock washer which is useful in a catheter connector. As the lock washer is compressed, the cross-sectional diameter of a tube receptacle formed centrally therethrough decreases, thus securing a tube placed therein. In use, a catheter tube is inserted into a catheter connector assembly, including the lock washer disposed therein. Upon interconnection of the catheter connector members, the lock washer is compressed, decreasing the cross-sectional diameter of the tube receptacle and engaging the catheter tube which runs therethrough.
In another aspect, the invention includes a catheter connector assembly including a compressible lock washer, as previously described, and methods for manufacturing the lock washer and connector.
In the drawings, which depict presently preferred embodiments of the invention and in which like reference numerals refer to like parts in different views:
As shown in
The distal end of the cap 22 includes a body and may also include an elongated cylindrical extension, which is referred to as an alignment element 48. The body of the cap 22 defines an elongated lumen 40 that is open to the proximal end of the cap and extends approximately centrally through the cap and into the alignment element 48 thereof. The alignment element 48 includes an end wall 56, thus lumen 40 includes a closed end. The cap 22 also includes a center member receptacle 51 formed in the distal end thereof of receiving and engaging the proximal end of the center member 24 (i.e., locking element 49, described below). The center member receptacle 51 include an interconnect component 50 (e.g., a LEUR LOCK™ receptacle) formed therein.
The center member 24, which is also referred to as a second member for simplicity, is a generally hollow cylindrical member including a body that defines a lumen 44 entirely therethrough. An insertion member receptacle 26 is disposed about the periphery of the center member 24, proximate the distal end of the same. The insertion member receptacle 26 is configured to receive the proximal end of the insertion member 28 and interconnect therewith (e.g., by threads). The proximal end of the center member 24 includes a hollow, cylindrical extension, which is referred to as a locking element 49. The proximal end of the lumen 44 is defined by locking element 49 and is configured to receive the alignment element 48 of the cap 22. The cross-sectional diameter of the lumen 44 may decrease near the distal end of the center member 24. The locking element 49 includes locking elements 52 (e.g., LEUR LOCK™ extensions) adjacent the distal end thereof, which are configured to engage the interconnect component 50 of the cap 22.
The insertion member 28, which is also referred to as a first member for simplicity, is also a generally hollow cylindrical member including a body that defines an elongated lumen 30 through the center thereof, a distal end 54, and a substantially round aperture 42 formed approximately centrally through the distal end. The proximal end of the insertion member 28 includes an interconnection component 46 (e.g., external threading) that is complementary to a first receptacle 26 (which includes, e.g., internal threading) and configured to interconnect therewith. The lumen 30 is configured to receive a gasket 32. The distal end aperture 42 is configured to facilitate the insertion of a catheter tube 58 therethrough.
The lock washer 60 and gasket 32 are disposed within the lumen 30 of the insertion member 28 and are held into place by the interconnection of the insertion member 28 with the center member 24. In order to interconnect the center member 24 and the insertion member 28, the interconnection component 46 of the insert member 28 is inserted into and engaged by the receptacle 26 of the distal end of the center member 24.
With reference to
Referring now to
Each tube engagement flange 64A′, 64B′, 64C′, 64D′ is a resilient member that includes a central tip 66A′, 66B′, 66C′, 66D′. Preferably, the central tips 66A-D′ are collectively configured to receive a catheter tube 58 (see
Webs 68′A, 68′B, 68�C, 68′D are collapsible, resilient elements which facilitate the transition of the tube engagement flanges 64A′, 64B′, 64C′, 64D′, and therefore the lock washer 60′, from the engaged state to the relaxed state following the release of a transverse load thereon. While the lock washer 60′ is in the engaged sate, as depicted in
Referring again to
With continued reference to
Although shown in use as a catheter connector, the invention may also be used to establish and maintain a fluidic connect between other types of tubes.
After being apprised of the devices according to the invention, methods of making them will become readily apparent to those of skill in the art. For instance, a lock washer can be made from a hypoallergenic, firm, resilient plastic material such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), acetyl, nylon, polycarbonate, polyesters, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polysulfone, polyurethane, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Likewise, a cap, insertion member, and center member may be manufactured from similar materials and by methods which are readily apparent to those of skill in the art. The gasket can be made from a hypoallergenic, collapsible, resilient, low durometer elastomeric material such as a urethane.
Furthermore, the lock washer and connector assembly might otherwise be modified. For instance, in its relaxed state, the lock washer may have a substantially hemispherical appearance. The tube engagement flanges will typically number from three to eight per each lock washer. The connector disclosed herein will work with most types of catheters. The lock washer disclosed herein will work with most Tuohy-Borst catheter connectors. The size of the lock washer and connector will be chosen dependent on the size of the catheter. Typically however, for epidural applications, the lock washer has a diameter of less than about 1 cm and the catheter tube secured thereby has outer diameter of about one mm. As another example, an element other than the described cap, such as a LEUR LOCK™ syringe, may be joined to the connector.
Although the invention has been described with regard to certain preferred embodiments, the scope of the invention is to be defined by the appended claims.

Bike magazine in the U.S.
Bike is one of my favorite motorcycle magazines (second to Road Runner but far ahead of any other American magazine available.
Does anyone here in the States have a subscription or know how I could get one? Getting them new at the book store is a bit expensive (yes, I'm whining about 10 bucks) and I'd really like to just get them at home.
Thanks in advance.
Mods, I didn't quite know where to put this post. If it belongs somewhere else, please move it there. Thanks.
Bike is the only magazine I consistently buy every month. Look in the current issue as most issues have a subscription page. In the US I think I recall it's about $142 a year with postage for a hard copy.
It's not the same but close enough....I get Bike on my iPad now. It's $5.99 an issue. This is the third month for me. Today I got the March issue.
It's $64 a year shipped in the US through these folks:
I've been getting it from them for years and they are good people.
Yup - I second that. Best mag out there, and I have subscribed for several years. Renewed my subscription a few weeks late last week and got an email that they were sending me the issue I missed anyway. Great folks!
Thanks all. Got my subscription in!
Most bike magazines in the U.S. suck. It's all about the latest and greatest with no actual tech stuff. Every mod article is who they took the bike to and what they had bolted on. I still subscribe to Cycle World and Motorcyclists mostly due to low price but for some of the columns and occasional interesting article. They're almost "once and done" when it comes to going through them and reading them. The hot rod/truck stuff has me going back to look at what they did - even though I will never likely do anything like it. I just find it interesting.
I started reading Hot Rod again along with Popular Hot Rodding, Streetrod and Classic Truck to get my gear head fix. I can't afford that stuff.
I wish there was someone (if only I could win a lottery) who would put out a tech magazine that actually showed some real mods. Back in the 80s DirtBike! and others actually told you how to do things. Like utting up the frame to forward mount the upper shock mount as well as how to set up forward mounts on the swingarm. The litigious nature of the U.S. kind of cut that stuff out along with bikes that are already done to the nines.
I read that "adventure rider?" magazine some. it is the one with the gritty feeling cover. Not a lot of content but at least it is about ADV riding. Also road runner.
No truly great mags out there.
Maybe worth checking out.
Great magazine - a little expensive but worth it.
ADVmoto is the one with the gritty cover, it is usually fantastic and great reading material, however, my favorite magazine of all is the British magazine "Adventure Bike Rider". Look it up, great stuff. I also get Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Bike, Rider can be really good some times, Road Runner and every now and then I'll pick up Fast Bikes if it has a interesting free gift (gotta love the free calender).
I get both BIKE and MSL thru the mid-western distributor. Far and away better than any US mag except MCN.
I still have the issue where Gordon Jennings did the SR500 hop up. I'm into the SRs so it was worth it. When I wanted to make a pipe out came the article and there it was 33" long 1-5/8 diameter. Carb - 38 is overkill because the head won't flow that well.
You couldn't find tips or articles like that in a magazine now if your life depended on it. The car/truck magazines are showing metal forming, welding, and testing tools along with decent features on vehicles that are not new, but built. What a shame the riders of this country can't support something like that. Mitch Boehm was close with Moto Retro, but didn't have any "how to". It appears his mag bit it too. What a shame, they were phenomenal.
