Re: NForce 1.0-0283 and sound servers
I installed this on 3 of my nforce2 FC1 linux boxes. I was happy to see that the networking problems I encountered appear to have been 100% taken care of.
With the prior release I could not get the networking to function on 2 of the 3 boxes. I tried everything. One box worked fine. They are all 3 the same board, same revision, same bios release, same video card, same amount of ram, connected to the same switch, even the same monitors, same OS, same kernel, same kernel source loaded, same everything, yet the nvnet on 2 of the 3 just wouldn't work.
This updated release worked great for networking.....unfortunately....
It screwed up my sound to no end. Everything that relied on sound went haywire. The whole thing was deplorable. I had to go back and uninstall all of the release and then reinstall only the networking.
I first tried to just uninstall the sound but that didn't cut it. So I uninstalled the sound and the networking, rebooted, and then reinstalled the networking and rebooted again.
Now things are back to normal but it was pretty bad there.
No DVD would play, no games had the sound in synch with the actions--for instance, quake3 arena would have a 1 second delay between when you fired and when you heard the sound. It was totally annoying. Any divx movie wouldn't play in synch. Audio would be way ahead of the video only because the video was going in slow motion--for whatever friggen reason. Didn't matter which multimedia player I used or which divx codec was installed.
I tested it on all 3 machines and they all had exactly the same problems.
Needless to say, I was seriously upset at the Nvidia programmer and other developers. This is horrendous work and needs some serious tweaking.

Drivers: Linux 8762 and many drivers before, XFree86 or X11 *or*
Windows 2000 and all recent drivers there as well.
Exact same problem with 7800GS AGP, ASUS A7V8X.
In Linux, most often, system boot up to X11 ends in black screen, but system is running, and monitor says it synced in target resolution. Very often, switching from virtual text console to graph screen does the same. In Linux, I can get display by either using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X11 and restart it, or by switching to/from text console multiple times.
Switching display resolutions with Ctrl-Alt-+ will also eventually get a viewable display.
In Windows, system boot often ends in black screen when hires graphic login screen should appear. Though the system runs well, behind the black screen here too, as there's no such convenient switch to text and back, most often I need to reboot until I finally get a *visible* screen.
Yep. Even more irritating.
Motherboard has newest BIOS (same behaviour with 2 BIOS generations before). No error messages in log files - everything as if all would work normal, only a bit of visible colour missing from display.
The problem occurs in about 4 of 5 graphic display activations (i.e., I need 1 (rare) to maybe 4 (often) to maybe 10 (rare) tries before the display is visible. Then, it stays stable until the next text screen and back - which is extremely annoying in Windows (no reliable method of initializing graphics display without reboot).
I also see a corrupted/unreadable text console before my grub menu, but it clears up once the kernel starts booting. Of course this makes it impossible to debug grub problems because any error messages are garbled.

First place in the Southwest Division changed hands again last night as the Memphis Grizzlies snapped a three-game slide by defeating the Sacramento Kings while the Houston Rockets lost to the Toronto Raptors. So Memphis is back on top, but with only a half-game lead over Houston. The winner of the division is likely to get the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, and that means a matchup with the No. 7 seed. And although nobody can say with any degree of
Bernucca: Looking For a Championship Outlier? Try the Mavericks
One of the common complaints about the NBA – and a somewhat legitimate one at that – is that there are only a half-dozen teams or so that can truly win the championship. Think about it: Who do you have winning it all this season? Chances are it's one of the "Fab Five" – Cleveland, Chicago, San Antonio, Oklahoma City or the Los Angeles Clippers. And you're not off base, either. One of those teams is my pick – our staff's
Five Things To Watch: San Antonio Spurs
All the San Antonio Spurs could talk about last season was avenging their 2013 NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat, especially the heartbreaking loss in Game 6. The Spurs made sure it didn't get to a Game 6 in 2014 as they dominated the Heat in five games to win their fifth championship. Tim Duncan, who many assumed would retire after his fifth title, now enters the 2014-15 season looking for a ring for his other hand now. The Spurs brought
Five Things To Watch: Houston Rockets
Should we really be surprised that the league's most interesting general manager chose to take the path of higher risk, higher reward? That's where the Houston Rockets, led by daring and analytically driven GM Daryl Morey, enter the 2014-15 season. When we last saw them, contention didn't feel far away. In the first year of the Dwight Howard-James Harden foundation, the Rockets went 54-28 in a loaded West and secured home court advantage in the first round. That was in line with preseason
Five Things To Watch: Dallas Mavericks
About an hour after I had rolled into the Audi Garage next to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, and about four hours after I left San Antonio, where I had watched the Mavericks lose Game 7 of the first round of the 2014 playoffs to the eventual NBA champion Spurs, members of the Mavs spoke to the media. On the floor of their practice court, Dirk Nowitzki spoke about the disappointment of that game after taking the Spurs to the
Five Things To Watch: Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies begin the 2014-15 season with high hopes. With the core in place and an exceptionally deep bench, making a return to the Western Conference finals – or further – is the goal. Last season, the injury bug bit the Grizzlies. Multiple key players missed extended time, and the Grizzlies couldn't separate themselves in the West as a result. Ending the season contemplating what could have been is unpleasant, and it's a situation the Grizzlies don't care to find themselves
Five Things To Watch: New Orleans Pelicans
At this point last season, the feeling surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans was one of hope. The team had just gone through a rebranding, acquired Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday in the offseason and was ready for Anthony Davis to take his first step towards stardom after an up-and-down rookie season. Unfortunately for the Pelicans, all that hope ended quickly when the injury bug bit the team early and often and eventually cost the team any hope they had at the
DuBose: After Fanning on Bosh, Rockets Still Shooting for Stars
HOUSTON — After being unexpectedly jilted by Chris Bosh, the Rockets found themselves in a precarious spot this summer. They are now hoping that Jason Terry, who just turned 37, can be a small part of the solution. General manager Daryl Morey has said since January that Houston needs to acquire the "third-best player on a championship team" to align with established stars James Harden and Dwight Howard, implying he did not believe that player would be found internally on the current

Mike Conley scored 20 points and the Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise record for wins in a season with a 94-76 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. With four straight wins, Memphis improved to 51-24, surpassing its 50-win season in 2003-04. The Grizzlies have already clinched a spot in the playoffs and are jockeying for home-court advantage in the first round. Former Blazer Zach Randolph, who played his first six seasons in Portland from 2001-07, added 17 points and eight rebounds for Memphis. The Blazers, who are effectively out of the playoffs with seven games left, were without two starters, LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum. As a result, the team started rookies Victor Claver, Meyers Leonard and Damian Lillard. Memphis took advantage and led by as many as 18 points in the first half. Portland (33-42) got within single digits midway through the third quarter, but could not catch up. Lillard and J.J. Hickson led the Blazers with 17 points apiece. Th...

12. A system as set forth in claim 11 wherein each said secondary HCMI comprises a logic protocol and control hardware circuit for transmitting information to and receiving information from discrete I/O devices.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel hardware controlled multinode interface module for a control system. more particularly, the present invention relates to a highly distributed and highly modular interface implemented in hardware and employing a plurality of data error checking features which permit hot swapping of the interface modules on the control systems without degrading the system or causing temporary shutdown of the system.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous control systems for controlling factory operations and processes are known. When such prior art control systems employed a large number of input/output controls located remotely from a central processor having racks of control equipment, individual cabling was run from the central processor racks to the input/output controls at the devices being controlled which require a large amount of system cabling. When a plurality of input/output (I/O) boards are employed and each such boards is provided with a plurality of input/output drivers and receivers each of which requires a pair of wires, the cabling for a large number of discrete I/O devices becomes the major limiting factor in a highly centralized I/O control system.
To avoid the above limitations imposed by a centralized I/O architecture, it was known to employ distributed computer architecture having individual computing systems located at remote sites and adapted to cooperate with the central host computing system and control system. Such distributed architecture systems also require an extensive amount of cabling as well as the additional expense of individual computing systems.
It has been suggested that a control system could be centralized and the commands linked to the input/output controls by local area network (LAN) techniques. Most such LAN systems requires smart controllers such as ETHERNET controllers or a smart terminal controller either of which increases the expense of the LAN systems. Most such LAN systems have a limited number of nodes which is a function of the transmission line effect and the speed of signal transmission. Typically such LAN systems have no more than 30 nodes.
Control systems which are designed to control a very large number of input/output devices and which employ a large number of nodes in a distributed system, by definition imply that the input/output devices are spread over a large area and will require large amounts of cabling. When such input/output devices are spread over a large area and include a large amount of cabling, the input/output devices and the transmission equipment are subject to industrial noise and industrial environmental conditions which generate electrical noise that in turn will produce errors and make it impossible to accurately control the input/output devices on a distributed system having a large number of nodes and a large number of input/output devices.
It would be desirable to provided a control system having a novel hardware controlled multinode interface (HCMI) which is capable of controlling more than 65,000 discrete I/O devices through approximately 256 nodes in a highly distributed architecture system such that the data required to accomplish control may be transmitted on a signal pair of conductors with associated control lines.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a control system having a novel distributed modular interface.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a control system that is operable in a hostile electrical environment.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a control system that permits hot swapping of the novel modular interfaces and their associated I/O devices under control.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface module having hardware implemented protocols which avoids the need for a CPU in the interface module and enhances the speed of operation of the control system.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface board which is provided with modular input/output blocks and expansion blocks.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide an address counter in each modular interface which generates an active secondary HCMI address for receiving and transmitting information.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface module having a plurality of error checking features.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface module that automatically accepts a data stream of three or four bytes without a preamble, start bits, stop bits, and node address fields.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface which connects in parallel to a data and control transmission line such that removal from or addition to the control system does not entail any modification of the existing control system.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a sampling clock for sampling inputs from the input blocks at the secondary nodes and for reporting changes of state to the novel modular interface system.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel modular interface for control systems such as environmental, security, fire and smoke warning, smart home controls, training simulators as well as process and factory controls.
According to these and other objects of the present invention there is provided a novel control system having a plurality of input/output interface modules connected in parallel onto a data and control transmission line. A CPU is coupled through a host interface module to the transmission line and receives from and transmits to the transmission line information for a plurality of secondary interface modules. The information passed on the transmission line is formatted to combine one or two data bytes, an address byte, and an error checking byte to permit operation in a noisy electrical environment. Each interface module is further provided with both high speed hardware logic and an address counter for implementing the receipt and transmission of data.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a control system showing a plurality of novel hardware controlled multinode interfaces (HCMI) modules connected together to effect input/output control;
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the host interface shown in FIG. 1 having a novel hardware controlled multinode interface (HCMI);
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a secondary interface module (HCMI) coupled to input/output monitoring controls for controlling input/output blocks and expansion blocks which further control plural input/output devices;
FIG. 4 is a detailed schematic block diagram of a secondary HCMI module shown in FIGS. 1 and 3;
FIG. 5 is a partial schematic block diagram showing the additional elements which are are employed in a host modular HCMI module of the type shown in FIG. 4; and
FIGS. 6A and 6B are block diagrams showing the byte structure of digital information transmitted between HCMIs on the data transmission line shown in FIG. 1.
Refer now to FIG. 1 showing a schematic block diagram of a preferred embodiment control system 10 having a CPU 11 coupled by a bus 12 to a host interface 13. The host interface 13 is provided with a host hardware controlled multinode interface (HCMI) 14. The host HCMI is shown coupled by a Tee or parallel connector 15 on a novel transmission line 16 which will be explained in greater detail hereinafter.
The transmission line 16 is shown provided with impedance matching terminators T at each end of the transmission line and is provided with a node N-0 at the host HCMI 14. Node N-1 to the last node N-L are coupled through Tee connectors 15 to a plurality of secondary HCMIs 17 provided in each of the I/O interfaces 18 and may number up to 255 such nodes and secondary HCMIs. The I/O interfaces 18 are shown connected to a plurality of output devices 19 and a plurality of input devices 21. It will be understood that each of the I/O interfaces 18 will accommodate up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs without expansion which will be explained hereinafter. Each of the HCMI modules 14 and 17 are connected in parallel to the transmission line 16. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the simplest and most reliable economical form of transmission line comprises 4 twisted pairs as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1. However, it will be understood that any transmission line which provides the same transmitting capability as four twisted pairs may be employed such as a fiber optic cable and/or coaxial cables. The use of such cables would entail more expensive forms of drivers and receivers at either end than the preferred embodiment twisted pairs. Thus, whatever form of transmission line 16 is used, the Tee (or parallel) connection 15 is preferably made in the form of a parallel connection on all four lines.
Refer now to FIG. 2 showing a schematic block diagram of the host interface 13 which comprises a host processor interface 22 coupled by a bus 23 to an interface translator 24 which in turn is coupled by a bus 25 to the novel host HCMI 14 to be explained in greater detail hereinafter.
Refer now to FIG. 3 showing a schematic block diagram of one the secondary HCMI interface modules 17 coupled to input/output devices. The I/O interface 18 comprises a secondary HCMI 17 which is coupled by a bus 26 to an input/output control 27 having a sample clock 28 to be explained in greater detail hereinafter. The input/output control 27 is shown coupled by bus 29 to an input block 31. The input block 31 is shown having expansion blocks 31A etc. Further, the input/output control 27 is shown coupled by bus 32 to output block 33 which is provided with expansion blocks 33A. It will be understood that each block 31 is capable of monitoring 16 input devices and each of the expansion blocks is capable of monitoring an additional 16 input devices up to seven expansion blocks for each of the input blocks 31 which provides the capability of monitoring 128 input devices 21. In similar manner the output block 33 is capable of controlling up to 16 output devices 19 and each expansion block 33A thereon, up to seven expansion blocks, is capable of controlling an additional 16 output devices 19 for a total of 128 output devices 19.
The sample clock 28 is employed to sample each of the input devices 21 up to 128 devices and determine if a state change has occurred during each 1/40th of one second and to report and record the information to a buffer in input/output control 27 so that the information can be reported back to the CPU 11 during the transmission time for the HCMI 17. Information being transmitted to the output devices 19 from the CPU 11 is buffered in the input/output controls 27 and transmitted directly to the output device 19.
Refer now to FIG. 4 showing a more detailed schematic block diagram of a secondary modular interface module 17. As also shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 the HCMI 17 has a plurality of inputs on transmission line 16. The four twisted pairs shown in FIG. 1 comprise a sync pulse pair 16S coupled through a transformer 34 to a receiver amplifier 35 having an output line 36 applied to a pulse width detector 37. The pulse width detector 37 has an output coupled to an address counter and comparator 38 which is part of the logic hardware controls of the HCMI protocol state machine 39. A second and distinct input on a separate twisted pair 16A is shown as the address clock coupled through a transformer 41 to a receiver amplifier 42 coupled to the pulse width detector 37 via line 40. The third input/output to the HCMI module 17 is shown as a twisted pair 16D labelled data which is coupled through a transformer 43 having 3 windings one of which is shown as the secondary 43S for receiving only. The secondary winding 43S is shown coupled to receiver amplifier 44 having an output 45 coupled to a variable byte width shift register 46 and to a phase error checker 47. In similar manner the fourth twisted pair 16DC shown as the data clock input to transformer 48 having a secondary winding 48S coupled to a receiver amplifier 49 which has an output 51 that is coupled to the aforementioned phase error checker 47 and the shift register 46.
The data and data clock lines 16D, 16DC that are coupled to transformers 43 and 48, are bidirectional lines each of which employ one of the twisted pairs 16. Information being transmitted onto the transmission line 16 is applied from shift register 46 via line 50 to the Manchester Encoder 52 that provides a biphase encoded signal on line 53 that is applied to the driver amplifier 54 having its output coupled to the primary transformer winding 43P. Encoder 52 is controlled via line 70 by control circuits 39. Signals applied to the primary winding 43P are sensed at the secondary winding 43S' and generated as signals on the twisted pair 16D labeled as data. The biphase encoder 52 is shown having a data clock 55 which generates a clock signal which accompanies the data being applied to transformer 43. The clock signal on line 56 is applied to a driver amplifier 57 which has an output coupled to the primary winding 48P of transformer 48 that generates the data clock signal on the twisted pair line 16DC. Signals generated on the primary winding 48P are sensed at the secondary winding 48S' applied to the transmission line 16DC so that the host HCMI 14 is able to sense the data clock and compare it with the data to determine if there is a biphase error and to decode the data signal.
Having explained the four principle lines comprising the transmission line 16 coupled to the HCMI 17, the only other input/output lines are from the bus 26. Bus 26, shown in FIG. 3, is shown in FIG. 4 providing data to and from the I/Os on bus 26. Data input is applied to the first-in and first-out buffer register 58. Data output from shift register 46 on line 26 is applied to the LRCC error checker 59. The third line of the bus 26 is shown as a error reporting output 26 from state machine 39 to the input/output control 27. Output of the LRCC error checker 59 on line 62 coupled as an input to the control circuits 39. Similarly the 3 byte shift register 61 is shown having a data input 45. Output lines 60 and 63 are coupled to the control circuits 39 and encoder 52 respectively.
The data into the HCMI 17 from the buffer register 58 on line 64 is shown as being applied to a parity and LRCC generator 65 which generates the parity byte and the LRCC byte is applied to register 46 via line 66. Register 46 and 58 and generator 65 are coupled bidirectionally to the control circuits 39 via control lines 67. The information generated by generator 65 is passed through the shift register 46 to the encoder 52 via line 50 and transmitted onto the data line 16D. The transmission line 16 is coupled to the host HCMI 14 as explained hereinbefore. The data from the CPU on line 16D being applied to the transformer 43 is checked five different ways. The information at the secondary winding 43S of the transformer 43 is coupled to a peak detector 68 which determines if either noise or additional pulses are coinciding with the coded data to generate a larger analog signal than is expected which would be indicative of noise or an electrical error. If an error is detected the condition is presented on line 69 which is shown coupled as an input on line 69 to the control circuits 39 as one of the five error conditions being monitored.
A second error condition is monitored in the phase error checker 47 which compares the data clock on line 51 with the data on line 45 to determine if an error condition exists. An error signal is coupled by the bidirectional control line 71 to the control circuits 39.
After the data is shifted into the shift register 46, the data is available on output line 26 which is coupled to parity and LRCC checker 59 which senses either a parity error or an LRCC byte error. The two error conditions are coupled to the control circuits 39 via the bidirectional control line 62.
A fifth error condition is sensed by the pulse width detector 37 in the control circuits 39. The sync pulse on line 16S which is applied through transformer 34 to the receiver amplifier 35 applies a sync signal via line 36 to the pulse width detector 37 that is compared with a known width pulse generated within detector 37 to determine if the pulse received has a valid width data pulse or is electrical noise. Similarly the width of the address pulse is sensed.
Having explained that five different error checking features are employed to check to determine if the data on line 16D to the HCMIs 14 and 17 is valid data or data corrupted by electrical noise, it will be appreciated that the control circuits 39 are now capable of producing a 3 byte acknowledge signal in register 61 via line 63 confirming that data received is valid data or generating a 3 byte negative acknowledge signal in shift register 61 which indicates that the data received was not valid and should be transmitted again. It will be appreciated that the error checking features of each of the error checking systems are complementary to each other and do not attempt to correct the data but raise requests that the data be retransmitted.
Having explained that each of the secondary HCMIs 17 and the host HCMI 14 have the same basic structure shown in FIG. 4 it will be appreciated that the data being transmitted between HCMIs is in a format which permits the five data error checks between HCMIs. It further it will be appreciated that the input/output controls 27 in FIG. 3 have an HCMI 17 at each of the locations where the input/output devices are located, thus any error that occurs after the information is formatted at the location of the input/output device will be detected when received at the host HCMI before being sent to the CPU 11. Further, information being transmitted from the CPU 11 down line to any of the possible 255 nodes is also checked before being applied to the input/output devices which if not done could create an error in a controlled condition. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention only three attempts are made to transmit error free data between the CPU 11 and an input or output device before generating an error reporting condition to the CPU via error reporting line 26 (shown as an output from the control circuits 39).
Refer now to FIGS. 4 and 5 which together constitute a HCMI 14. The input shown in FIG. 4 to receiver amplifiers 35 and 42 are shown removed in FIG. 5. The HCMI 14 does not required these singular directional input signals because the HCMI 14 is generating the original sync pulse on line 16S as shown in FIG. 5 and is generating the original address clock on lines 16A also shown in FIG. 5. Thus, the received address clock and sync pulse may be disabled on the module used as a host HCMI 14. The host HCMI 14 requires the modification shown on FIG. 5 comprising a sync pulse generator 74 having higher ratio windings in the transformers 72 and 73. The sync pulse and address clock transformers 72, 73 have primary to secondary winding ratios of 1 to 3. The HCMI 14 generator 74 is shown generating the address clock and sync pulses on lines 16A and 16S. Generator 74 is coupled to the drivers 75 and 76 via lines 77 and 78 to produce the sync pulse and address clock signals that are applied to the transmission lines 16. The address clock and sync pulse generator 74 is coupled to the HCMI protocol and control circuits 39' via line 79 which has a copy of the address clock and sync pulse which are on line 77 and 78. Thus, the address clock and sync pulse signals on line 79 are similar to those previously described with reference to FIG. 4. These inputs are now applied as inputs to the address counter and comparator circuit 38. The HCMI 14 address count compare circuit 38 is comparing the count of its counter with the maximum count of the number of nodes on the transmission line 16 whereas the address counter comparator 38 in the HCMIs 17 are comparing the address count with the HCMI address at any particular numbered node. Thus, it is understood that the address count compare circuits 38 are identical but are comparing with different fixed inputs. The address compare output of the address counter 38 in FIG. 5 on line 81 is coupled to the CPU 11. The address compare on line 79 is coupled to the address clock pulse generator 74 and lines 16S, 16A. The sync pulse from generator 74 starts a new count cycle at all HCMIs.
The address on line 81 serves two functions. First it is appended onto coming data from the other HCMI lines to identify which node transmitted the information being received and being sent to the CPU. Second the address on line 81 is supplied to the interface translator 24 to identify a memory location in the memory of the interface translator 24 from which information will be transmitted over the bus 25 to the HCMI 14 for transmission on transmission line 16 as shown in FIG. 2.
Refer now to FIG. 6A showing a block diagram of the byte structure of digital information which is transmitted on transmission line 16 between HCMIs 14 and 17 and vice versa. Byte 82 is shown comprising a distinct address and command in the 9 bits labelled 1 through 9. The bits B1 through B4 are shown as address bits which indicate the expansion boards 31A, 33A shown in FIG. 3. If zeros are used in this address then it indicates the original input/output block 31 or 33 as distinguished from the expansion blocks 31A and 33A. Bit 5 of byte 82 is either a zero or a 1 indicating whether there are 3 bytes or 4 bytes of information being transferred. Bits B6 through B8 are used for command information and bit B6 of this command information indicates whether the information is for an input block or output block 31 or 33. The bit B9 is used as a parity bit for the other 8 bits. Byte 82 is followed by a data byte 83 containing the data being transferred to or from the HCMIs as well as to and from the computer to an input/output device. The LRCC byte 84 is a nine bit byte using an implementation of longitudinal redundancy check character (LRCC) and is a well known error checking method which does not require additional explanation. In each of the LRCC bit positions there is a character similar to a parity check of the other bits in the other bytes.
Refer now to FIG. 6B showing a byte 82 which is identical to the byte 82 shown in FIG. 6A but has a different state condition in bit 5 indicative of a 4 byte transfer. When this character is read into the shift register 46 of FIG. 4 and is transmitted by directional control line 67 into the control circuits 39, the HCMI 17 is appraised of the fact that two data bytes will be transferred constituting a 4 byte transfer as distinguish from the 3 byte transfer as shown in FIG. 6A. Thus, the ew byte or extended data byte 85 follows the first byte 82 and the subsequent third and fourth bytes 83 and 84 are identical to the bytes 83 and 84 explained heretofore with reference to FIG. 6A.
Having explained a preferred embodiment of the present invention it will now be appreciated that the novel control system shown in FIG. 1 may comprise a host HCMI 14 and any number of secondary HCMI 17 up to a number including 255 which are capable of monitoring and controlling in excess of 65,000 input/output devices. When this number of input/output devices are coupled to any transmission line 16 it is to be expected that the transmission line will spread over a very large area and be in environmental conditions that can create electrical noise and errors in the data received and transmitted from the input and output devices. It will now be appreciated that the complementary error checking features of the present invention are not only desirable but are needed for proper control operation.
Having explained a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a typical and preferred mode of operation will be explained as follows. Information produced at CPU 11 is transmitted to the host interface 13 and is stored in memory locations of the memory in interface translator 24 for sequential transmission to the host HCMI 14 where it is formatted before being applied to the transmission line 16. Not only is the information properly formatted and combined with an error checking byte but the HCMI also transmits an address clock and a sync pulse on two of the twisted pairs of the transmission line 16 for receipt at each one of the HCMIs 17. The HCMIs 17 each have a counter 38 which is first zeroed then counted so that all of the counters in the HCMIs are in synchronism. When each HCMI 17 reaches a predetermined count indicative of its address, it is then capable of receiving the signal placed on the transmission line 16.
Having explained the information in the bytes shown in FIG. 6 it will be appreciated that no preamble, no header address and no stop bytes are required for transmission of the information. Thus, it will be appreciated that the only address transferred in the bytes shown in FIG. 6 is the address of individual I/O devices at each of the individual nodes and these sub addresses may be identical at each of the nodes. Thus, it will be understood that the discrete address of an input/output device includes the HCMI or node address but this information is not transmitted on the transmission line except in the form of an address count and sync pulse. This feature alone decreases the amount of information by twenty-five percent when 65,000 input/output devices are coupled to a single transmission line. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention all information is transmitted from the interface translator memory 24 to the node being addressed for all I/O devices having information at that node. The information for each of the input/output devices at the nodes which registered a change is transmitted to the CPU while the address of the node exist. At the end of the transfer of information to the input/output devices at the specific node the host HCMI 14 will send out a signal indicative of the completion of transmission for that node at which time the HCMI at the node being address will now send information back to the CPU which is again formatted in the reverse sequence of formatting as explained hereinbefore for transmission and is passed through the interface translator 24 and stored in a buffer of the host processor interface 22 for transmission to the CPU 11. Stated differently each time the node or HCMI interface is addressed all the information from the interface translator 24 for that node is transmitted and similarly all of the information from that address node is transmitted back to the CPU before the address of the node is changed. At the completion of transmission of information back to CPU 11 the HCMI host 14 applies an address clock to its address counter and also counts the address counters in the secondary HCMIs, thus preparing the system for transmission of information between the next sequential address. If there is no information to be transferred at the next sequential address, the control system continues to count until it reaches a node address count where information is to be transferred from the CPU to the node address having an I/O device that requires the information. Similarly if an I/O device has information to be transferred back to the CPU at the time the sequential address reaches its node, a signal has been raised at the secondary HCMI which enables it to transfer information back to the CPU before sequencing to the next sequential node address. In this manner it is possible to count through every possible node on the transmission line in a period of approximately 170 microseconds. It will be appreciated that the input/output control devices 27 have their own sampling clocks 28 which are sampling each of its input devices 21 during a period of 1/40 of one second continuously independently of the operation of the host HCMI 14.
As explained hereinbefore it will be appreciated that the CPU 11 and its host processor interface 22 operate asynchronously. The HCMI interface 14 is conducting its sequence of operations and address node counts independently and asynchronously to the scanning of the input block devices by the input/output control 27 employing its sample clock 28. Further, when the host HCMI 14 conducts its cycles of operation, it only counts up to the highest node which is already applied to the transmission line 16 and does not include the complete count of the possible nodes which may be placed on the transmission line.
Another feature of the present invention permits any one of the nodes to be decoupled from the transmission line for maintenance purposes without affecting the operation of the system. It is not necessary to take the system down to perform maintenance at any particular secondary HCMI because the transmission line 16 is transformer isolated at the nodes. In a similar manner a new node or secondary CMI may be added to the transmission line if a coupling device is already provided. The maximum address count should be increased at the host HCMI to include the new node station.

Every Amouage I've smelled has managed to have that damn frankincense note shoehorned into it. It's become detrimental to brand. At this point I can't even blame the perfumer because it's obvious that there is a corporate mandate to use the stuff. This is generic, fresh peppery nonsense PLUS FRANKINCENSE.

Patton fine-tunes agreement
By JOEY AGUIRRE
No Buena Vista County Supervisor objected to sharing county engineer Jon Ites with Cherokee County Tuesday morning but tabled the action item until County Attorney Dave Patton could give the board his opinion on how to split the time and pay.
Ites to help in Cherokee 10 hours per week
Buena Vista County Engineer Jon Ites will share his duties with Cherokee County for up to six months, starting on June 25 until December.
Dave Shanahan, the current Cherokee County Engineer, announced his last day will be on June 24.
Ites looks to RISE program for grants
Buena Vista County officials are looking into making road improvements for an industry currently in the county.
County Engineer Jon Ites told The Storm Lake Times Tuesday the improved roads will not be west of Alta; that was the previous grant.
$184K project to begin in summer
Lights and gates will be put in at the railroad crossing on M50, a mile north of Highway 7 and east of Sulfur Springs.
The project was approved by the Buena Vista County Supervisors Monday with the estimated cost to be just over $184,000.
The county will be responsible for 10% of the cost.
One would think that Jon Ites is running for Buena Vista County Supervisor, his contempt for Storm Lake is so great. No, but he is not running. Ites is the county engineer who was just awarded a three-year contract by the Board of Supervisors, despite the fact that he is supposed to retire in a year. He sends letters to the editor on the Buena Vista County email system trashing the Storm Lake Police Department because officers had the temerity to stop and ticket his adult daughter for a seatbelt violation.
Engineer says county roads are 3 years behind
By JOEY AGUIRRE
Buena Vista County Engineer Jon Ites believes that more funding is needed to help keep roads up to date.
He says the county is behind on its road repairs.
Engineer says he will retire in '15
Buena Vista County Engineer Jon Ites has notified the Board of Supervisors that he plans to retire in spring 2015 after over 20 years of service.
Ites, who was given a new three-year contract by the Board of Supervisors last week told The Storm Lake Times he's looking at 2015 unofficially.
Ites working on contract with BV supervisors
County Engineer Jon Ites will retire in 2015, according to Buena Vista County Supervisor Paul Merten.

Thanks in large part to our groundbreaking new partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the ASPCA is caring for more canine cruelty victims than ever before. To accommodate the resulting 200%+ increase in intake, we opened our Canine Annex for Recovery & Enrichment, or CARE ward, last summer in New York City. This new facility can house up to 60 dogs seized by the NYPD as part of animal cruelty investigations, and its impact thus far has been significant. To commemorate CARE's upcoming anniversary, we wanted to share one of its very first success stories. Here is the Happy Tail of a five-year-old Boston Terrier named Chowda.
In June 2014, Chowda was seized by the NYPD from an apartment building in the Bronx, New York. Emaciated and suffering from skin disease, she weighed just 13 lbs. upon her arrival at the ASPCA. Bite wounds covered her body. Tests revealed abnormally low levels of protein in her blood, further proof that she had been deprived of proper nutrition.
Chowda weighed just 13 lbs. on the day of her intake.
Chowda spent four months recuperating in the ASPCA Animal Hospital and at the CARE annex. She was spayed and underwent a dental procedure, during which four teeth were extracted. By early September, she had gained 10 lbs.—a nearly 41% increase in body weight.
After six weeks under our care, Chowda returned to a healthy body weight.
On the day before Halloween, Chowda was adopted by Diana A. and her husband Chris of Brooklyn, New York. Chowda joined Diana and Chris's other dog, Meisha, a two-year-old pit bull who had also been adopted from the ASPCA. Chowda and Meisha became friends immediately. "People ask us if we've had them together from birth," says Diana. "We call them sisters; they are an awesome duo."
Chowda and her new sister, Meisha.
After adopting Meisha, who came from a hoarding case, Diana and Chris decided to add a second, more confident and energetic dog to their household, and Chowda fit the bill perfectly.
According to Diana, Chowda loves to cuddle, sit on people's laps, and "kiss everyone to death." She and Meisha are inseparable.
Despite what Chowda's been through, "she is resilient, forgiving, and loving," says Diana.
On occasion, Diana takes Chowda to her office, where the perky-eared pooch has already "stolen everyone's hearts."
"She is such an amazing soul, I can't imagine how anyone could harm her," says Diana. "Thanks to everyone at the ASPCA who helps improve the lives of these wonderful beings."
Exciting news: After weeks of providing medical care and behavioral enrichment to dogs rescued from an Alabama puppy mill, the ASPCA has begun transporting the dogs to various animal welfare agencies in 11 states, where they will be made ready for adoption.
More than 130 dogs were seized from the puppy mill, including Chihuahuas, Chows and Pomeranians ranging in age from 2 months to 5 years. The dogs were living in filthy, deplorable conditions, with many suffering from malnourishment and other medical issues.
The dogs will be transported to the following animal shelters and rescue groups via the ASPCA Animal Relocation and Transport Initiative's Nancy Silverman Rescue Ride and Florida Disaster Animal Response and Transport (FL DART):
- Angels of Assisi (Roanoke, Virginia)
- Capital Area Humane Society (Hilliard, Ohio)
- Cedar Bend Humane Society (Waterloo, Iowa)
- Charleston Animal Society (North Charleston, South Carolina)
- Citizens for Humane Action (Columbus, Ohio)
- Humane Society of Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)
- Humane Society of Calvert County (Sunderland, Maryland)
- Humane Society of Great Birmingham (Birmingham, Alabama)
- Humane Society of Greater Savannah (Savannah, Georgia)
- Humane Society of Pinellas (Clearwater, Florida)
- McKamey Animal Care Center (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
- Montgomery Humane Society (Montgomery, Alabama)
- Nate's Honor Animal Rescue (Bradenton, Florida)
- Quincy Humane Society (Quincy, Illinois)
- Wayside Waifs (Kansas City, Missouri)
In addition to dogs from the Alabama puppy mill, some of the above groups will also receive dogs the ASPCA rescued from a dog fighting operation in South Carolina and from an Arkansas dog sanctuary earlier this year.
Four of the dogs are in need of behavioral rehabilitation for extreme fear and under-socialization, and will receive treatment at the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center in Madison, New Jersey.
The puppy mill seizure was the result of an investigation that began after local authorities received numerous complaints about conditions at the breeding facility. Both owners of the facility were charged with animal cruelty.

On any given day, the ASPCA Adoption Center and the ASPCA Animal Hospital are home to hundreds of animals. Caring for so many dogs and cats takes a lot of work, and none of it would be possible without our incredible, dedicated staff of volunteers. In honor of National Volunteer Week, we want to recognize one of those volunteers, Adoption Counselor Stephen Q., by sharing the story of "his best adoption ever." Here's what Stephen had to say:
On what started as a typical day volunteering as an ASPCA Adoption Counselor, I met a couple who came in looking to adopt a pair of adult cats. Delighted, I took them through the shelter showing them each of several bonded adult pairs, and while they enjoyed meeting each pair, none were quite right. As luck would have it, I must have saved the best for last. I said to them, "Well, we have one more bonded pair I can show you, please come with me."
As I opened the kennel door to show them this beautiful pair of cats, I explained that both were completely blind.
The couple started petting these two loving and affectionate cats (one with non-seeing eyes, the other without eyes at all) while I started talking to them about my own experience with my blind-from-birth cat, Jenny. I talked about how perfectly Jenny gets around, how she opened my heart to a new type of human-cat experience, that no challenge is insurmountable and that perfection comes in many forms. After 20 minutes of petting, listening and asking questions, the couple turned to me with moist eyes and said, "We'll take them."
It was my best adoption ever, and all the credit goes to a couple with an open heart—and to my little blind cat with the biggest heart ever, also rescued by the ASPCA.
Thank you to Stephen, and to all of our volunteers, for your hard work, dedication, and inspiring stories!
Stephen's rescue cat, Jenny.
Welcome to The Paw Print! In this recurring feature, we highlight the latest news affecting animals and animal-lovers around the country. Here are some of the top stories right now:
Rescue Pup Set to Receive 3D Printed Prosthetic Paw: Rylee, a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees, lost one of her front paws after being caught in a trap. Rylee is under the care of Dirk's Fund Golden Retriever Rescue in Pacific, Missouri, where volunteers are raising funds in hopes of securing a 3D printed prosthetic paw for the injured pup. Once Rylee's paw has been replaced, she'll be made available for adoption. [KSDK]
Some Cats and Dogs May Be Allergic to Humans: According to veterinarians, dogs and cats may suffer from some of the same types of allergies that humans experience—and may even be allergic to their human companions. While it's rare, dogs and cats can be allergic to dog, cat or human dander. These allergies present themselves as skin inflammation and itching for dogs, and little scabs or missing hair, typically around the head and neck area, for cats. Like humans, pets can be tested and treated for many types of allergies. [National Geographic]
Missing Dog Reunited with Family Following Deadly Illinois Tornado: Missy, a white German Shepherd, was reunited with her family after a deadly tornado struck Fairdale, Illinois. Sadly, Misty's guardian, Geraldine "Geri" Schultz, died in the storm, but her remaining family members launched a search for the missing pup in the area and on Facebook. Misty was first spotted by a utility worker, and was soon reunited with Shultz's husband and grandson. [CBS News]
Inmates Care for Rescued Cats at Indiana Correctional Facility: As part of a new program called Felines and Offenders Rehabilitation with Affection, Reformation and Dedication (FORWARD), twelve shelter cats have been relocated to the refurbished office of Pendleton Correctional Facility in Pendleton, Indiana. There, the cats socialize with people and other cats and play with toys crafted by inmates. The inmates take turns caring for the cats, which are available for adoption by prison staff or the families of inmates. [Huffington Post]
German Shepherds Trained to Detect Prostate Cancer in Humans: An Italy-based research team has published a report noting that two German Shepherds have been trained to detect the scent of chemicals linked to prostate cancer in human urine samples with more than 90% accuracy. The report, published in The Journal of Urology, is the latest of multiple studies examining the prospect of utilizing dogs to help diagnose cancer and other infectious diseases. [The Guardian]
Do you wonder what happens on the farms that produce your food? Do you believe you have a right to know how animals raised for food are treated?
In the last few years, the farm industry has been driving the introduction of "ag-gag" or "whistleblower suppression" bills in state legislatures across the country. The purpose of these bills is to criminalize acts related to investigating the day-to-day activities of industrial farms, including the recording, possession or distribution of photos, video and/or audio at a farm. Such investigations have previously formed the basis of animal cruelty prosecutions and spurred reforms to protect the safety of our food supply.
If you want to know how ag-gag laws affect animals and consumers like you, join us and our panel of experts for our #OpenTheBarns Twitter chat on Thursday, April 23 from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M. ET to have your questions answered. Just follow the hashtag #OpenTheBarns and include it in your tweeted questions to have them answered!
Our #OpenTheBarns Twitter chat participants include:
Daisy Freund, Sr. Manager, Farm Animal Welfare, ASPCA
Kendra Kimbirauskas, Chief Executive Officer, Socially Responsible Agriculture Project
Cody Carlson, former undercover investigator, Humane Society of the United States & Mercy for Animals
Patty Lovera, Assistant Director, Food and Water Watch
We'll be discussing the dangers of ag-gag laws, how they impact animals and consumers alike, as well as what you can do to stop them in your state!

I am somewhat conflicted with this story. I am a teacher myself so I definitely agree that we should be role models for children, however, I also took a graduate class with Kelly Webb and I remember how passionate she is about what she does. She is an excellent principal. I don't think there are any easy answers in this case.

Exactly why does Ann Arbor get to decide how I take my groceries home?
I am so tired of U-M students looking down on EMU. We are just as good of a university and the condesending attitude gets tiring. U-M is not the only worthwhile institution for higher learning in the Ann Arbor area.

Samuel Greene Arnold, Jr. (April 12, 1821 – February 14, 1880) was a United States Senator from Rhode Island. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he received his early education under private tutors, and graduated from Brown University in 1841 and, in 1845, the law department of Harvard University, gaining admission to the bar that year. He was a lawyer and historian, and was trustee of Brown University from 1848 to 1880.
He married his cousin, Louisa Gindrat Arnold (1828–1905), the daughter of his father's uncle, Richard J. Arnold (1796–1873). Of Louisa he wrote that "...I have brought up my cousin for years to make her my wife, for I am so fastidious & particular on that matter that I knew I never should find a lady to suit me in all respects unless I educated her for the purpose. This is an original idea to be sure..." [1]
Arnold was elected lieutenant governor of Rhode Island in 1852 and served as Acting Governor. In 1859, He was elected an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.,[2] where he wrote a book called the History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1859. He was a member of the peace commission held at Washington, D.C. in 1861 in an effort to devise means to prevent the impending war.
In March 1861 Arnold was again elected Lieutenant-Governor after being nominated by the Constitutional Union and Democratic Conventions.[3] Arnold was again elected Lieutenant-Governor in 1862. During the Civil War he raised a company of light artillery which went to Washington D.C. and was mustered into the Union Army. He was elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James F. Simmons, and served from December 1, 1862, to March 4, 1863. After his time in the Senate he returned to historical research and was president of the Rhode Island Historical Society from 1868 to 1880. Arnold died in Providence in 1880; interment was in Swan Point Cemetery.
Theodore Francis Green, Samuel Arnold's grandnephew, was also a U.S. Senator from Rhode Island.
Samuel Greene Arnold was the author of the 2-volume History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations published in 1859-60.

Fashionista in training!
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley's daughter Naleigh is only three years old, but she's already walking better in high heels than her famous mom!
PHOTOS: What these stars love most about motherhood
"I had my stylist over and we were working on my outfit tonight, and we had a slew of beautiful shoes, jewelry and clothes," Heigl, 32, told Us Weekly Monday at ELLE Magazine's 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in NYC. "Naleigh loves clothes. She's a total girly girl, and she put on these crazy stiletto shoes and could walk in them!"
"She's three years old and her foot is this big, but she could like walk around in these stilettos that I think are impossible to walk in," the "Knocked Up" actress laughed.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's trendiest tots
Heigl told Us Naleigh is "really chatty now" and even gets "this whole attitude."
"Not a bad attitude," she clarified. "But like a very grownup, saucy attitude that blows my mind. I don't know where she's picking it up, and I hope it's not from me! That would be very upsetting."
But even though Naleigh is a total girly girl, she actually prefers dad over mom.
"She's a really daddy's girl, so she's always liked [Josh] better than me," Heigl laughed. "[But] she has these moments where she just wants me, and there's nothing more heartbreaking and beautiful than that moment where she calls for me."

The Xenopus tropicalis genome assembly version 4.2 (GCA_000004195.1, November 2009] is the fifth in a series of preliminary assembly releases by the JGI that are planned as part of the ongoing X. tropicalis genome project. This Ensembl website presents the sequence data provided by the JGI.
The reads were assembled using JAZZ, the JGI assembler, producing a genome of approximately 1.51 Gb in scaffolds and 1.36Gb in contigs. The assembly contains 19,549 scaffolds with an average coverage of 7.65X. The N50 length for scaffolds is 1.57 Mb and is 17.04 kb for contigs. The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer.
The genome assembly represented here corresponds to GenBank Assembly ID GCA_000004195.1
Other assemblies
- JGI4.1 (Ensembl release 59)
Gene annotation
The gene set was built using the Ensembl pipeline. 19249 cDNAs were used to add the untranslated regions (UTRs). 31465 Xenopus tropicalis proteins were used to predict the transcript structures. Finally, gene predictions based on UniProt vertebrate proteins were used to fill gaps in the annotation. The gene set contains 18429 protein coding genes, 121 pseudogenes, 52 retrotransposed genes and 1552 non coding RNA.
More information
General information about this species can be found in Wikipedia.

Gene counts
|Coding genes
Genes and/or transcript that contains an open reading frame (ORF).
|Non coding genes
|Small non coding genes
Small non coding genes are usually fewer than 200 bases long. They may be transcribed but are not translated. In Ensembl, genes with the following biotypes are classed as small non coding genes: miRNA, miscRNA, rRNA, scRNA, snlRNA, snoRNA, snRNA, and also the pseudogenic form of these biotypes. The majority of the small non coding genes in Ensembl are annotated automatically by our ncRNA pipeline. Please note that tRNAs are annotated separately using tRNAscan. tRNAs are included as 'simple fetaures', not genes, because they are not annotated using aligned sequence evidence.
|Misc non coding genes
A pseudogene shares an evolutionary history with a functional protein-coding gene but it has been mutated through evolution to contain frameshift and/or stop codon(s) that disrupt the open reading frame.
|Gene transcriptsNucleotide sequence resulting from the transcription of the genomic DNA to mRNA. One gene can have different transcripts or splice variants resulting from the alternative splicing of different exons in genes.
