You are a really dense individual.
Know thy enemy
Never hurts to see things from the perspective of our biggest rival
Just like towelie is the worst character ever you're the worst poster ever.
I agree; but then again none of us were probably able to keep our mouth shut when we were 14.
said it better myself. Next time someone says something rediculous like this I will remind them to bring a towel...you wanna get high?
Maybe because they're our biggest rivals and we would like to know about how good they might be in 2-4 years?
Buddy, if negs still counted you'd be the President of Bolivia. I down vote you every time.
You talk funny
What he just said?
Meyer admitted he cheated eh? Is this Michael Rosenberg posting?
and that picture work together. It's almost like evil/high/unfortunately-weighted-eyeball Ronald McDonald is reading one of Hawking's books.
Ronald's eyes are messin' with my mind man!
The Necronomicon? I'd guess?
....to do research on hotels before you take a trip to Bolivian:
Well I for one take great joy in watching them lose just about anything. As they are the other half of the oft-proclaimed greatest rivalry in sports, I'd say it's pretty relevant.
Michigan tradition at all?
Well you already failed the first question not knowing who Scot Loeffler was..
That's not an excuse. Your ID is "MrMario86". Loeffler was there during Manningham's entire career at Michigan. Besides, if you don't know who somebody is, it's not that hard to look up somebody's name with the internet these days.
What's There and Out?
I know you are but what am I?
I haven't read it yet.
I believe it's the never before seen alternate ending to There and Back Again by Bilbo Baggins.
93 pages in 41 days. Wow! The speed reading courses have really paid off.
I have to say, I agree with Mr.Mario. Why pander to the propaganda 11 warriors has to spew over how good Ohio State will be?
Shoe fly.
Would you click on a thread that says "Breaking Down Ohio's Class..." if you don't want to read about Ohio's class?
Question of the day!!!
If he's counting on Decker and Schutt to provide immediate presence on OSU's depleted lines, he's sadly mistaken. Washington and Dodson are great gets, both will be able to contribute early and often. How Urban Meyer convinced a back the style of Bri'onte Dunn to sign, absolutely blows me away. (See square peg round hole) Warren Ball has a lot of ability, I just don't even he fits that scat back mold that Urban thrives on.
I love your logic on Dunn, his signing made little to no sense to me. I am guessing that he gave into the pressure from family and friends to mantain the status quo. Toussaint has another 2 years years to display his ability for all to see. Poor Bri'onte, life is gonna suck.
He is gonna hate life in the spread for the next 4 years... So sad to see wasted talent, I mean shit go to Wisconsin if the pressure is to much for considering UM but don't put yourself in a horrible position
But that happens when you are still in "high school"
Meyer must have done something.
I think Dennis Norfleet fits Urbans style and Dunn fits ours. I also think Norfleet will have better college career than Dunns.
You really don't understand the full concepts of an Urban Meyer offense. Which as an Alabama fan, I assumed you would, seeing as how you played him and that offense during its zenith a few times. The power-I, downhill running style of traditional "Ohio State" offenses is simply combined with jet motion from other offensive backs. Just because a WR/RB hybrid (Percy Harvin, in previous years, and Possibly Stefon Diggs/Verlon Reed/etc.) comes across the formation pre-snap doesn't change the fact that a 250 pound monster (Tim Tebow or Dunn) is slamming into the line off-guard/tackle in a traditional running style. Urban Meyer's big, power back was Tim Tebow (that worked out well, right?) now it will be Bri'onte Dunn. Meyer looks to create mis-matches in space, he likes to flood defenses with overwhelming offensive advantages in numbers (3 blockers and a back vs. 2 defenders). It's power football, just run from a non-traditional set. Read this before you make sweeping generalizations about things you don't know anything about.
but this guy is a shameless homer.
I literally laughed out loud at this line "I am going to say this class wins two conference titles and one national championship." l think this class has only 2 years playing with braxton miller at qb then will have its final years with a newcommer so basically in those two years they have to accomplish that. Sure its possible but to have that as the expectation is borderline rediculous.
I would say that if you read the recruiting roundtable that a group of us did about a month ago, all but one poster predicted two conference titles and at least two of them predicted a MNC as well. I don't really think homerism has any bounds. You're always going to get optimism when talking about your own team.
I call myself a very optimistic and huge Michigan fan. But after watching the NC this year I don't know how any Michigan fan could say this team, no matter how great our recruiting class was is in line to win a national championship without some additional MAJOR pieces.
Yes, we re not in the shape to beat the SEC guys, but hope joke can turn these recruits into stars
I hope that was a typo. I'm withholding my neg because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. It's unfortunate that j and h are so close together.
One NC? Wow, that's pretty impressive. (I'd have to agree with Wolv-15 - this dude is a big time homer. The fact that he mentions it in the beginning is evidence enough.
But, you know what has to happen for OSU to win a NC? In all likelyhood, having to beat an SEC team. So, the good news is that we don't have to worry about that for awhile.
They're still officially 0 and 9 against the SEC.
No match
Is it really some homer to suggest that a team that won the big ten title 6 years in a row from 2005-2010 could possibly win 2 in the next 4-5 years with a top 5 recruiting class and Urban Meyer at the helm? I'd dare to say they might win 3 or 4. The MNC really isn't that far-fetched either. Optimistic, but not far-fetched
There are a lot less championships to go around these days. Ohio wouldn't have even won its division in 2005, 2008 and 2010, so there would be no chance of a championship, and in 2006, 2007 and 2009 they would have had to beat #3 M, #18 M and #7 Iowa, respectively. They would have more like two championships with the current format.
less of this...
and this...
less of this...
and this...
more of this....
and this...
substantially more of this...
and that...
a lot more of that...
My favorite part of the interview was where he said Defensive line is so important on an Urban Meyer team. Who was responsible for those defensive lines? Greg Mattison.

Top Observations From Dolphins Week 2 OTA Workout
The NFL season is just three short months away and teams across the league are working hard during their voluntary workouts.

Free agent Matt Moore has signed a contract to remain the Miami Dolphins' backup quarterback behind Ryan Tannehill.
Dolphins Lose Clay To Bills, Bring In Three Players For Visits
The Miami Dolphins have lost one of their most productive offensive players to a division rival.
Another Year Of Not Quite Good Enough For Miami Dolphins
There are plenty of questions left to be answered after another disappointing football season in South Florida.
Dolphins' Philbin Regrets Creating Distraction
In a week where the Miami Dolphins needed to be focused on ending their two-game losing streak, their coach made it a little more difficult to do so.
Dolphins Take Quarterback Controversy To London
As if a flight across the Atlantic Ocean to play a regular-season game wasn't distracting enough, the Miami Dolphins don't even seem to know who will be their starting quarterback.
Miami's Tannehill Plans To Start Against Raiders
Ryan Tannehill plans to take the first snap on offense Sunday for the Dolphins against the Oakland Raiders, at least temporarily putting an end to questions about Miami's quarterback situation.
Dolphins' Philbin Won't Commit To Starting Tannehill Vs. Raiders
Following the Miami Dolphins loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the team has been left searching for answers on several fronts.
Mike Pouncey To Begin Year On Dolphins' 53

Kevin Magnussen has endured a difficult time since his spectacular debut in Australia, but the McLaren driver insists that it's all part of the inevitable learning curve.
Magnussen finished a lowly 13th last time out in China.
"I think I've learned a lot," said the Dane. "It's been good in many ways as well. Obviously we're not where we want to be, and we need to keep working really hard to get there. But I think I have learned a lot, and there have been many positive points to take away from the last two races.
"It's not that we're happy or that I'm happy. We just need to work hard, keep working hard. The team is doing a great job. They are staying positive, although they are not happy with the position. They are staying strong and keeping the fighting spirit up. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy with how things are going in terms of the progress we're making."
Regarding the lack of points recently he said: "In Bahrain I think we would have scored points. China was not good for us. It was a bit of a shock how far off the pace we were but again I think we learned a lot. We know China is probably the worst circuit for us at the moment, but we'll just see how it goes here."
Magnussen said it was too early to judge the value of this weekend's updates.
"We don't know how the car feels, we haven't driven it yet since the last race, so we'll have to wait and see. I don't expect it to feel a lot different. We are bringing a few new parts but nothing that is going to change the world. This track is the first track on the calendar this year that I've been to before, so that's nice. It's nice to be in Europe again, so feeling a bit more at home. So I'm looking forward to it."Formula 1, Kevin Magnussen, McLaren F1

NOT the other way around, like they try to make it seem.
as far as costs, depends on your deductible, $100, 250, 500, 1000... all depends on your particular policy. some times you can talk shops into doing the work without giving them anything, they take the deductible out of the insurance check.
i have only dealt with one mobile agent, she was a bit** tried to tell me how much my truck was worth and that my bumper can be hammered out... but in the end, i got paid for a whole new bumper, mounts, shrouding, piece under headlights (this was all in my old ranger) and lol, the dent is still in bumper... the check went towards school.
and they do cut you a check right there. hail damage is an easy claim to go through, there is no having to guess if there is hidden damage under the area you see, tweaked frame, mounts, alignment etc, so they are usually able to give you a fair deal right then... just got to watch them for that paintless dent cra--i mean repair, or they will try to go for aftermarket parts. oh and dont let them try and tell you, that you HAVE to go to X shop or dealership to get it... they hand you the check and you go where you want, if you trust your local dealership by all means go, i havent found a good one around here yet, there are good ones out there... or go to a reputable body shop... but if they wouldnt give you an estimate, then i'd prolly look elsewhere... same for dealership.
good luck and sorry to hear about your truck, hail damage is ungodly painfull for me... i almost want to jump over hood to take some of it before it hits my ride... ive seen my share though, and just barely made it through. if it strikes on the Ram, im gonna hit the roof! im livin in an area that is prone to hail during any good rain... im seriously dreading it
I agree with everything except the PDR.
PDR if it can be done properly is much better, as you keep your factory parts and your factory paint. I had it done on my caliber when i got 3 moron marks on my rear driver side door. the guy told me that one might be iffy, but i had him do it anyways. All 3 dents came out just fine, and except for the one that he warned me about (which was a sharp dent on a body line) you can't tell there was ever any damage.

How would Jacqueline Kennedy have felt about McSorley's records? "I doubt that she would have wanted this information known," said Maier. "Her letters are still … in the JFK library, with the stipulation that they not be opened to historians for many, many years to come. But I think there was, nevertheless, the awareness that they will be eventually opened by historians, just like…McSorley's private unprocessed papers at Georgetown."
McSorley came to visit Jacqueline Kennedy in New York several times, and took John Jr. to the 1964 World's Fair, and to a nearby museum. According to McSorley's account, one night, as they put the young boy to bed, Jacqueline Kennedy asked McSorley to sing the Irish ballad Danny Boy to John Jr. His father used to sing it to him, she said. McSorley did his best, and afterwards, John, Jr. asked for another song — this one, from his mother. He wanted to hear America, the Beautiful.
"It's quite extraordinary, that scene," said Maier. "It's the scene of a family with the pictures of their father, their husband up on the walls-trying to mend."

As a woman who contracted HIV from a man who claimed to have been unaware he was HIV positive, I have never entirely blamed him.
Watch her strip down to the point of embarrassment, accidentally revealing her "nana," unaware of how much she was taking off.
Nor, given the responses to his earlier publications, can he seriously argue that he was unaware of any potential harm.

Live every week like it's shark week
My life philosophy at the moment is "say yes", which i stole from an improve group, but it's been serving me well so far. Recently graduated from Pratt, with a major in graphic design, illustration and sleep deprivation. Currently getting by on odd jobs. You know what they say: When life gives you a BFA and an economic recession, make lemonade. I love good books and awful tv shows– favorites include Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, Truman Capote and Gossip Girl. I'm looking for a partner in crime with an off-beat sense of humor who can find a way to have fun in any situation. Must live in or near Brooklyn because I'll probably bike to meet you. Should have good taste in books and music but shouldn't be dogmatic about it. Bonus points for being a good story-teller, and occasionally drinking too much coffee.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
Very Liberal
Places where people play music– including subway platforms; alcohol and/or caffeine establishments of all sort, but leaning towards the dive-y; art museums; zoos; diners; maybe a movie if i'm feeling extravagant.
Jonathan Richman, Little Richard, Clone High, coffee/tea, gin and tonics, cookies, Kurt Vonnegut, road trips

Hey friends! It's the middle of the week and it looks like your due for a fresh round of remixes…
It's REMIX WEDNESDAY!
First up, we have groove-tastic remix from the purveyors of space age disco funk, Ride the Universe, and their remix of Moon & Walker's "Love a Little More"! Strong synth work highlights the track, as the beat slowly drives its way into your dancing muscles. Perfect for a sunset cruise or bike ride, this tune takes a funk-riddled bass line and moves it alongside the excellent space-disco keys, colliding into a brilliant ball of funk. Jam on!
Moon & Walker – Love A Little More (Ride The Universe remix)
Next, we have a free download from Breakbot and Dimitri from Paris, with his "boogie dawn remix" of "Break of Dawn"! Hint's of 80′s pop shine through this disco-centric tune, gliding in and out of grooves with controlled precision. Known for bringing the smooth funk on the regs, Dimitri shines again with this one. Varied keys control the flow, as the strings arch over the top, and the 80′s kick drum brings the beat back home. Bonafied jammin'.
Breakbot – Break Of Dawn (Dimitri From Paris Boogie Dawn remix)
And to close things out, we have the latest remix from up and coming disco machine Branded James, and his remix of Cajoline's "Only Girl"! While we have featured Mr. James before on the blog, this tune is arguably his best to date. Superb deep house grooves reign supreme, while flourishes of tropical disco wait patiently in stride. The keys and pads are really solid as always, but there is something about the pulsing groove on this one, just superb. Get weird, turn this one up.
Cajoline – Only Girl (Branded James remix)
Until next time,

Kit Is EXELENT!!
So, I ordered my Kit, Recived it about 15-ish days after payment, which included the Easter public holiday weekend.
It was as described and simple to do with the exception of removing the old bushing.
I tried the Heat + Bolt + Copper Wire but it refused to come out. The next day I tried plastic Cable Tie and bolt but still didn't come out.
I priced a M10 Tread cutter to Cut it's way in and remove the old bush but they where a little on the high price side (Not so much though).
Finally I thought about a broken bolt remover. It was $8. Some places call them screw extractors?
ABOVE: Screw Extractor digs into the Bushing and makes it very easy to pull out.
It came out EASY with this and the rest of the job was VERY simple.
Somthing not many people are talking about, and maybe it's obvious, but for any Newby out there wanting to do this, Dont forget you WILL need to Throttle Body Sync afterwards, and if you do the Left side (?) you will need to do the ZERO=ZERO job for the position sensor.
A Big Thanks to Cata Dan for making this fantastic Kit. Much cheaper then paying someone else to rebuild my units.

Domestic assault case against Bartlett officer continued to July 10
The domestic assault case against a Bartlett police officer was continued Wednesday morning for him to seek counseling with a possibility of eventual dismissal of the charge.
The offer, a routine approach in such cases in Bartlett Municipal Court, was part of Quentin Crowley's first appearance after an incident with his wife, Amanda, at their home early Sunday morning. Police reports state the couple, who are going through marital issues, got into an argument shortly after midnight Sunday morning. The altercation became physical, and Crowley reportedly pushed his wife, causing her to fall and hit her head on the hardwood floor.
In addition to the criminal charges, Crowley, 37, also faces a police internal investigation currently being conducted. He has not been cited for any departmental violations yet as that investigation didn't begin until Monday. He remains on administrative leave pending the outcome of both cases.
Crowley, appearing with his attorney Ted Hansom, said nothing in his appearance before Judge Freeman Marr. Amanda Crowley acknowledged she was understood the steps taken in the case and agreed with the terms Under the arrangement offered by Rhea Clift, the city's assistant prosecutor, Crowley will seek counseling for the issue and return July 10. If there are no more problems, such charges are normally dismissed, Clift acknowledged.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. The artwork on the front of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft's digital cards is great, but apparently, developer Blizzard wants to make its cards even prettier. Today, a post on the Hearthstone Facebook page announced five new card backs with special designs. They will be visible to the player using them and their opponent during a duel. Images of each design are in the gallery below, along with some information on how to earn them. Hearthstone is a free-to-play card-battling video game, and its lore comes from the Warcraft universe. Players compete in 1-on-1 matches with decks of 30 cards each. You gain rarer cards either by purchasing additional card packs or by earning them in Arena mode, which costs money or in-game currency to play. Alternatively, you can craft cards with Dust, which you earn from Arena victories. Hearthstone's mechanics are quite similar to those of the physical trading card game Magic: the Gathering.

My new favorite thing about volleyball?
No rainouts.
While everyone else is scrambling to find alternate fields and dry places to play their state and regional tournament games this week, volleyball moves ahead on schedule. Even though I had to put arm floaties on my chihuahua just to send him out into my backyard, 4A volleyball's state tournament will go off without a hitch Friday at noon inside the dry climate of the Edmond Santa Fe High School gym.
Now, here's a look at the teams that made it to the 4A state tournament
Match 1: Christian Heritage vs. Oklahoma Bible, noon
CHA (25-9): Like several teams in this tournament, CHA has a lot of seniors, most of whom play key roles at vital positions, like Abbey McNeill at libero. Coach Heath Kufahl will put her talents up against any libero in the state. Lindsey LittleJim is a big play — or a big block — waiting to happen in the middle. Skye Coffman is a strong outside hitter as well, and CHA has come closer to beating Heritage Hall than any other 4A team this season. They've won 15 straight.
OBA (27-11): Without a lot of 4A schools in the immediate area, OBA ends up playing a pretty tough schedule, and coach James Ward hopes that pays dividends this week. A team without an offensive superstar lives on its defense, which will be among the best in the field this weekend. Libero Rachael Walker anchors that defense and junior setter Whitney Maple has been starting since her freshman year. Remember that 15-game winning streak for CHA? Their last loss came to OBA on Sept. 15. So there should be a rivalry aspect to this game.
Match 2: Heritage Hall vs. Lincoln Christian, 1:30 p.m.
Heritage Hall (24-6): They've won four straight titles, and though they lost a lot of key players and their head coach, first-year coach Greg Dewey has the Lady Chargers right back where they've been as the 4A favorite. Brooke Bogert and Haydn Beatty are the big-play girls, but others like Coralee Toal are just as important to their success. Dewey has said all season that he feels the 4A field is evenly matched, so we'll see if it plays out.
Lincoln Christian (22-9): These girls are in their first state tournament with three sophomores starting and they're opening against the four-time defending state champs. But coach Whitney Warren doesn't sound timid about the matchup, and it didn't come across as false bravado. Her team has good size, led by Haley Byrd. Chelsie Holt in the middle and Maddie Starr at outside hitter will make some plays, too. They have good leadership on the court and play as a team.
Match 3: Victory Christian vs. Clinton, 3 p.m.
Victory Christian (28-6): Strong hitters who played a strong schedule. Could be a dangerous combination. VC has a strong pair of middles in Caroline Arnould and Stephani Feeley, a great blocking tandem. Setter Natalie Donohue makes the offense go with her unmatched passing skills. Six players on the team have played in the state tournament before.
Clinton (24-9): Like Victory Christian, Clinton has several players with state tournament experience. Alyssa Wilson, a senior outside hitter, is the total package. At 6-foot-1 with good leaping ability, she's built for the sport, and she hits it as hard as anyone you'll see at the tournament the next two days. But victories will come via team chemistry, which has been a key to success all year, says coach Jackie Sternberger.
Match 4: Cascia Hall vs. Cache, 4:30 p.m.
Cascia Hall (15-16): Solid all the way around, but especially in the middle with senior Kate Brandon and sophomore Aryn Dixon, both of whom started on last year's runner-up squad. Aside from their physical talent, they're on-court leaders as well. And Nikkie Price, another senior, runs the show at setter for a group that relies heavily on team unity. Cascia is another team that has played a tough schedule, which is evident in the overall record, and will be ready for whatever the state tournament has to offer.
Cache (28-3): This is a team with a lot of athletic ability, and good hitters at nearly every position. Coach Stephanie Dilks says a different player is stepping up to lead the team in kills each game. Senior outside hitter Lauren Winham is a leader on the floor who makes the plays when her team needs her. And though Cache relies a lot on its six seniors, a pair of sophomores play crucial roles in setter Madison Ward and middle hitter Talia Stanley. Ward is a glue girl, doing whatever is needed to hold the team together, and Stanley is the team's big hitter who works hard at the net on defense.

Things I liked:Keeps a reasonable amount of pellets at hand without worry of damage, specially to the delicate skirts on some. The seater tool being adjustable abled me to experiment with different depths until I found the one that zeroed my gun in. where before I would get changes in impact when I just pushed the pellet in with my thumb now every shot is the same impact point. I am really happy with it and would recommend these to any single shot weapon owner.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing, please leave it just the way it is.
Things I liked:ease of use especially with the 177 cal is hard to insert frequently with these old fingers. Also get better accuracy by seating the pellet into chamber.
Things I would have changed:nada
What others should know:nope
Things I liked:Makes loading so much easier, especially on colder days.
Things I would have changed:A gauge or guide for using the pellet seater

Bruins vs. Devils Pick
- Updated: April 10, 2013
Matchup: Boston Bruins vs. New Jersey Devils
Date/Time: April 10th, 7:30 PM ET
Television: NBC Sports Network
NHL Betting Odds from BetOnline Sportsbook
Moneyline: Boston -136
Total: 5
The Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils are potential playoff foes in the Eastern Conference. They're going to meet in what should be a crucial clash at the Prudential Center on Wednesday night in NHL betting action.
The Bruins are going to be amongst the next set of teams to clinch a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pittsburgh Penguins were the first, and Boston and the Montreal Canadiens aren't all that far behind. Both teams still have a chance of running down the Pens for the best record in the East, and both actually have fewer regulation losses than does Pittsburgh. The problem that Boston has is that it just hasn't seemed to be consistent on offense this season. Yes, the team is averaging a relatively healthy 32.1 shots and 2.7 goals per game, but there are too many games like Monday's 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes that are skewing the data. In the previous five games before the thrashing of Carolina, Boston scored just a total of eight goals. Good thing that G Tuukka Rask is proving that he is one of the best in the league this season, posting 17 wins with a 1.95 GAA.
The Devils, on the other hand, are in a lot of trouble and are running out of time to do anything about it. They have just 40 points in 39 games, and they have just nine left to make up two points on the New York Islanders and New York Rangers for the last two playoff spots in the conference. New Jersey has a stunning 10 overtime defeats on the season, and all of those lost points are really coming back to hurt the team now. The most recent losing streak for the team has reached seven games, and not surprisingly, four of those losses have come in overtime. Of the rest of the losses, two have come by one-goal margins and one came in a game with a late third period goal by the aforementioned Isles which took a 2-1 game and made it 3-1. Again, the offense is the problem. The Devils have just four goals scored in their last four games, and they haven't scored more than three in a game since March 29th. This absolutely has to improve if the team is going to get into the playoffs.
Though we know that Boston has played well, we think that the Devils are the side to back in this one on the puck line. The team has beaten the puck line in six of its last nine games, and there is no reason not to think that this won't be the case again. This could be New Jersey's lucky day for the SU victory as well when push comes to shove.
Boston Bruins @ New Jersey Devils Pick: New Jersey Devils +1.5

The protocol scheme of a destination or receiving station is identified by a source or sending station in order to permit automatic reformatting of the source data into a compatible format and protocol scheme before transmission is initiated. The destination protocol is logged in the source system so that the protocol can thereafter be determined by destination address. The scheme is also capable of determining the protocol and format of the sending station, selecting the appropriate protocol and converting the data to a compatible format.
1. A method for transmitting source data generated at a source system formatted with a source data format and protocol to a remote destination system which may require a different, incompatible protocol, the method comprising the steps of:
a. determining at the transmitting source the destination protocol;
b. checking the compatibility of the source data and the requirements for the destination data;
c. converting at the transmitting source the source data to a compatible data for the remote destination system if the source data and the requirements for the destination data are not compatible; and
d. initiating transmission of the converted source data in the compatible protocol requirements.
2. The method of claim 1, including the step of logging the destination protocol in the source system once the destination protocol is determined.
3. The method of claim 2, further including the step of using the log to select data format and transmission.
4. The method of claim 3, further including the step of updating the log automatically if the use of the logged information does not permit transmission.
5. The method of claim 3, further including the step of automatically determining the data format and protocol of the destination station when no compatible entry is present in the log.
6. The method of claim 3, wherein the logging steps includes creating a data base at the source system wherein the data base identifies the destination protocol by the destination address.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the data base includes the electronic address for the destination system, and the protocol, format and parameters for the destination system.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the data base includes a password for the destination system.
9. The method of claim 1, further including the step of initiating a send signal to the destination system between steps "a" and "b", and further including the step of interrupting transmission between steps "b" and "c" only if either or both of the following conditions are present:
a. the source and the destination protocol are incompatible; and/or
b. the source data and the destination data are incompatible.
10. The method of claim 1, further including a protocol library and the method including the step of making a protocol decision for the destination system based on the protocol library.
This invention is specifically related to my co-pending application filed on even date herewith, entitled: "Method and Apparatus for Sending and Receiving Facsimile Transmissions via Distributive Networks", Ser. No. 08/815,026, and incorporated by reference herein.
1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention is generally related to methods for transmitting and receiving data via electronic transmission, and is specifically directed to a method for selecting the proper receiving protocol for transmitting data generated at one station to a remote station of unknown protocol.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
In recent years, the electronic creation and/or transmission and reception of data has exploded. The use of digital encoding, compression, transmission, decompression and decoding has made it possible to almost instantaneously transmit both visual and audio information to almost any location in the world. Examples of such applications include facsimile transmission of written or printed documents. For example, "fax" machines are now quite common, where an original document can be scanned and digitized, with the information representing the document being digitally transmitted of a phone line or the like to a compatible receiving "fax" machine at any location, simply by dialing the telephone address of the receiving machine. In the past, systems communicated only with like systems, using identical data formats and protocols at both the origination system and the destination system.
More recently, computer based systems have been used to convert various documents and data formats into a compatible format before transmission or to convert information, once received in one format to a desirable format at the receiving station. For example, it is now possible to create a document in Microsoft Word, or WordPerfect processing systems or the like and use on-board software to reformat the document into a Group III "fax" format without printing the document. The digitized document is converted into the proper format and transmitted via telephone line or other suitable transmission link to the receiving using the proper protocol station without having to first produce a hard document at the transmitting end. Likewise, documents may be "faxed" from a remote location to a receiving station and immediately converted into a suitable format, such as a MicroSoft Word or a WordPerfect format directly from the faxed data by using OCR techniques.
In such prior art systems, it is necessary to match the protocol and the data format used by both the transmitting station and the receiving station to assure they are compatible before the transmission begins. Typically, when the data source is a "fax" scanner and compression system, such as a Group III fax, and the receiving station is a compatible Group III fax machine, it is only necessary to dial the receiving Group III machine, and the data is transmitted, received, decoded, decompressed and printed as a hard document corresponding to the original document scanned at the transmitting station.
When the sending and receiving stations are of known but different types, a converter is required to place the data in the proper format for a receiving station before it can be transmitted. For example, if the file source is a digital camera for producing a digital visual image and it is desired to transmit data from the camera to a Group III fax machine, the raster video data produced by the camera will not be received by the Group III fax machine unless it is first reformatted in a Group III format then transmitted using the Group III fax protocol. While software is available to perform this task, there must be some intervention in the transmission process to first identify the format of the data and the protocol of the receiving station and then perform the proper conversion before transmission can take place.
As the use of electronic transmission becomes more widespread, and the variety of sending and receiving stations increases, it is not always possible to know in advance whether the sending and receiving stations are compatible. Further, it may be desirable to automatically send data to a plurality of stations which are not all using the same protocol and/or data formats.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method for automatically identifying a remote station protocol and performing proper conversion of data format before transmission is initiated.
The subject invention is directed to a unique protocol identification scheme where the protocol of a destination station is identified and incoming data is converted to the proper format for that station during the transmission process. The scheme is functional in both the sending and the receiving mode. This permits data in an initial or source format to be converted to a selected format compatible with the destination station by a system utilizing a conversion scheme adapted for reading and selecting the appropriate data format and protocol for converting the source data to a selected data format and protocol to be transmitted to any matching destination station. The transmitted data is then presented in the format and protocol of the destination station. The subject invention permits on-line, real time transmission regardless of data format and permits transmission of source data to a variety of stations using protocols of either the transmitting station or the receiving station.
The method of the subject invention is specifically adapted for transmitting source data generated at a source system formatted with a source format to a remote destination system which may require a different, incompatible data format. The destination protocol is determined, and the protocol schemes are matched. The compatibility of the source data format and the destination data format is determined. Where required, the source data is converted to a compatible data format, and transmission is initiated using a protocol compatible with the destination system.
The preferred embodiment of the subject invention first identifies the remote station by its telephone (or other electronic) address. Once contact is made, a protocol check is initiated, in the typical manner. The protocol of the remote system is then identified. Once identified, a handshake procedure is initiated in order to complete the connection between the sending and receiving stations. This assures that the stations stay on line. The protocols of the two systems are then compared, and if the data is compatible, transmission is initiated.
It is an important aspect of the present invention that if the protocols are not compatible with the data format, real time conversion of the data and transmission is initiated and completed while the systems remain on line.
It is an additional feature of the invention that once the particular protocol and data format for a specific address has been identified, the may be stored in a address store whereby the protocol and format is automatically identified each time that receiving address is selected. When this address is later again called, the system immediately knows what protocol and data format to expect and what data format is required when transmission is initiated and can initiate conversion prior to going on line. If the protocol has been changed for some reason and a handshake does not occur, the system will automatically fall back to the protocol check sequence and once the protocol is identified, the system will be automatically updated. It is also possible to manually enter various protocol schemes for specific addresses if such are known. The system of the present invention also permits operator intervention and selection of protocol and data format conversion schemes, where desired.
The system of the subject invention can also receive data from any of a plurality of sending stations, utilizing the same handshake, comparison and conversion scheme in reverse. That is, once the receiving station confirms the protocol of the incoming data, an on-line, real time instantaneous conversion of the incoming data takes place.
One significant advantage of the protocol selection method of the subject invention is that it permits transmission of source data to a plurality of stations regardless of the compatibility of the plurality of remote stations. That is, a source system having the data format scheme of the present invention may communicate with a plurality of remote stations, whether or not the remote stations can communicate with one another, by use of data conversion and the proper protocol.
The present invention greatly increases the flexibility of data transmission between remote stations and permits ready transmission of data from a file source without being protocol dependent. This greatly facilitates the transmission and reception of data without having a complete history of the receiving station at the operator's disposal prior to initiation of transmission.
A particularly useful adaptation is the incorporation of the method and apparatus of the subject invention in combination with my co-pending application filed on even date herewith, entitled: "Method and Apparatus for Sending and Receiving Facsimile Transmissions via Distributive Networks", Ser. No.: 08/815,026, and incorporated by reference herein. As therein described, information is sent rand received via an "universal interface" permitting data to be transmitted between a computer workstation to a facsimile machine via a telephone line, a hardwired system, a LAN or a WAN or any other distributive network. Likewise, the system permits transmission between any combination of telephone, computer, facsimile machine, or sending transmission device with any receiving device. The adaptability of the system therein described is greatly enhanced when used in combination with the protocol selection scheme of the subject application.
It is, therefore, and object and feature of the subject invention to provide a method for electronically transmitting source data to a remote station regardless of the compatibility of the source file and the receiving station.
It is another object and feature of the subject invention to provide a method for receiving data from a remote station regardless of the data format of the remote station.
It is yet another object and feature of the subject invention to provide a method for determining the protocol scheme of a remote station and initiating data conversion to a compatible scheme before transmission is initiated.
Other objects and features of the invention will be readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and detailed description of the preferred embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a basic flow diagram showing protocol and format conversion and selection at a transmitting system for transmission to a selected receiving station.
FIG. 2 is a basic flow diagram showing protocol and format conversion and selection at a receiving station for reception of incoming data from a selected transmitting station.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of the subject invention, showing a file origination system, the protocol scheme of the invention and a destination system, utilizing a conversion library for automated conversion.
FIG. 4 illustrates a typical conversion library configuration.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the use of a protocol library for determining the destination type in accordance with the method of the subject invention.
The flow chart illustrating the primary features of the method of the subject invention is shown in FIG. 1, a file source 10, which may be a word processor, an editor system, a scanner, a video camera or still camera, an audio signal generator or the like, provides original data which is to be transmitted. FIG. 1 is a streamlined flow chart showing transmission of file source data to a destination system where the source data is incompatible with the source, where the operator may intervene to select the conversion parameter. The original data is formatted in the manner well known to those skilled in the art, as indicated at 12. For example, a camera may present the raster video data compressed to a JPEG format. As is also typical, an originator or initiator operator may intervene as indicated at 140 to select a destination and initiate a send sequence. As will be further described, this could also be an automated send sequence without departing from the scope and spirit of the subject invention.
As illustrated by step 140, once a destination station is selected, the system selects the proper conversion technique and initiates conversion parameters, wherein the conversion process is completed as shown at 180 to reconfigure the data at 12 in a destination data format 26. The originator then selects the destination and the protocol compatible with the selected destination, as shown at 340. Once this step is completed, the transmission process is initiated at 35 via a typical communication path 36, such as, by way of example, LAN, WAN, telephone line or other distributive network system. The receiver station then is set at the proper protocol parameters (if applicable) or may in many cases be a fixed protocol scheme, as indicated at 37A. The reception process is initiated as soon as an incoming signal is detected on path 36, as illustrated at 37, with the data being received in the destination format, as indicated at 40, for sending to the receiver 42 for processing.
The subject invention also contemplates conversion at the receiving station, as indicated in FIG. 2. This permits a single "universal" station to be utilized with any of a variety of sending or receiving units. With specific reference to FIG. 2, it will be noted that a selected sending or originating unit will have a data file source 10 in a dedicated format which is identified, as before, as the origination data format 12. The system then selects the destination and protocol (which may be dictated by the sending unit) as indicated at 140, afterwhich transmission is initiated as indicated at 35 for transmission via the communication path 36 to a receiving station. The receiver station now initiates the reception process as before, and as indicated at 37 and 37A. Using the technique of the subject invention, the origination data format is determined at 60, and the receiver initiates the conversion process at 62 for converting the data to the receiving station configuration at 64 for presenting the data in the destination data format at 40 for processing in typical fashion as indicated at 42.
As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the data conversion is initiated automatically in order to permit conversion of incoming or outgoing data to provide universal transmission of data over the system. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, upon selection of the destination, a destination protocol sequence check is initiated by initializing the destination information data base 16, see FIG. 3. Based on the destination selected, the destination data base 16 will identify the appropriate protocol which is pre-loaded in the system and introduce this information in the compare network 18, as indicated at 20. At the same time the data is introduced into the compare network 18, as indicated at 22. If the destination protocol and the data protocol are determined to be compatible, the data is released as indicated at 24, in the original format as indicated at 26. This initializes the destination protocol selection and sequencing as indicated at 28, with appropriate parameters being introduced from the destination protocol database 16, as indicated at 30. The appropriate destination protocol and parameters are then selected from the protocol library, as indicated at 31-34. A typical destination information table or library is illustrated in FIG. 4, and includes an recognizable name or address for the destination such as a telephone number or E-mail address or the like, the data format for that destination and the proper protocol parameters. It will be readily understood that the number of protocol options in the protocol library is a matter of choice.
Once the protocol has been selected, the destination is contacted through a typical communication path 36, such as a telephone line or the like, and the destination system 38 is initialized in the normal manner to "handshake" with the transmitting system and identify appropriate protocol and parameters as at 40, after which transmission begins and the data is entered into the destination system as at 42.
When the data format introduced into the compare network 18 via path 20 for a particular selected destination is not compatible with the source data on path 22, the compare network initializes a conversion sequence as indicated at 44. Based on the format introduced on 20 from the data base 16, the appropriate conversion sequence 51-54 is run, converting the source data to the appropriate format. The converted, re-formatted source data is introduced via path 56, and the transmission sequence continues from point 26 as described above.
In the event the initiator selects a destination at 14 which is not already stored in the data base 16, a "no data" signal is introduced into the compare network 18 via path 20. The source data is then not released into the transmission system and a connect sequence is started via a signal generated on path 58. This completes the connection with the destination system 38, and where possible, determines the proper protocol during the "handshake" sequence. Once the proper protocol is identified, the data base 16 is updated and the appropriate compare signal is released via path 20 into the compare network 18, and the sequence continues as previously described.
The destination data base 16 may include all appropriate protocol parameters for each destination address, such as, by way of example, whether the parameters are synchronous or asynchronous, start-stop sequencing, sync patterns, telephone number(s), I/O address router information, passwords where applicable, and the like. The data base may also include data format parameters such as resolution, size requirements, encoding options, compression options, embedded sync options, gamma, control character sets and the like. This permits full formatting of the source data before the data is transmitted.
An important advantage of the invention is readily apparent when the operator selects more than one destination at 14. If all selected destinations are compatible, once the source data is properly formatted, at 28, all destinations may be sequentially accessed by a single initiation sequence. If the destinations are not compatible, the source data is formatted first for the first selected destination and all compatible destinations. Once transmission is completed, the data is reformatted and a second transmission is initialized and completed. This process is repeated until the data has been properly formatted and transmitted to all selected destinations.
The automatic protocol and format determination scheme for sending documents to a receiving station of unknown protocol is shown in more detail in FIG. 5. As there shown, once the initiator or operator initiates the send sequence at 14, see FIG. 3, the protocol of the source data is introduced at 200 into a protocol check scheme which is loaded with a protocol library 210 which includes all of the available compatible protocols with the receiving system. The system tries stored available protocols for the receiving system, as indicated at 201-203, and if a match is determined, the data is released via 204 into a log table 220. If a match is not found, the system fails as at 206 and the transmission is interrupted and shut down.
Once the compatible protocol is determined and logged in, this information is placed in the data base. Thus, once the protocol for a new specific receiving system is identified, it is stored and future transmissions can be properly formatted before connection is initiated. Based on the determined destination protocol, the data format is determined by the table. If data format conversion (51-54) is needed, the process is executed and transmission is continued as indicated at 222. Once the conversion is completed, the transmission is continued as at 222, for transmitting the re-formatted source data to a destination station 38, as described relative to FIG. 1 above.
The method of the subject invention greatly enhances the versatility and efficiency of electronic data transfer schemes since it eliminates protocol and data format dependency. It also greatly improves transmission techniques by automatically determining remote protocols and reformatting the data without having prior indication of the incompatible format and protocol.
While certain embodiments and features of the invention have been described in detail herein, it will be readily understood that the invention encompasses all modifications and enhancements with the scope and spirit of the following claims.
