Life is an adventure; exploring it!
Why not? You never know! I rarely get stressed out. Seriously. Life is too short. What is most important to me in life is the immaterial(e.g., experiences, music, emotions, etc.). I love blue skies, open water and bright sunshine. I've lived on both coasts of the US. I'm an explorer at heart. I've been an archaeologist a pianist, a counselor and a political activist. I am outgoing and easygoing; I like to think I am compassionate; I am extremely honest and forthright (gets me into trouble sometimes ;). I laugh often.. I also enjoy making people smile/laugh. I enjoy cooking for my friends and family. I tend to give more than I end up taking. I am slow to make good friends but I am a fairly social person. I was raised in upstate NY by a moral father and the best mother a boy could ask for. I have been blessed with a good life and now would like to share it with someone who shares my values...chief among which is moral sensitivity and empathy. I think it would be nice to live in a small community on a beautiful island with my soul mate and write-off most of the world...if I wasn't possessed with a deep sense of social responsibility. I am passionate about social issues. If you don't care about the rest of the world we will not be a match. A few things that are sure to turn me off are over-competitiveness, macho-male tough-guy capering, and guys who care more about other peoples perceptions than their own actions. It does not define me, but I am most passionate about music, especially playing the piano, singing and composing. Some of my other hobbies include exploring, gourmet cooking and traveling (to expand my mind and see new places, not usually to relax...though these are not mutually exclusive for me, and I enjoy lazing around too =). I love to spend time outdoors, especially in the sun and on the water....sailing; water skiing; swimming. I love good beer, fine wine and gourmet food (expensive stuff unfortunately lol). I like to go to new places and experience new things. There is so much to see in this world and so little time. Here goes... Ideally I would like someone who is articulate and well-mannered but not uptight; someone who is laid-back and doesn't take anything too seriously; someone I can be proud of at a dinner party; someone who can open my eyes to new ways of seeing the world; someone who is both intelligent and wise; someone who recognizes and can appreciate the simple pleasures in life; someone who is comfortable in nature; who is aware of and can live in the moment; someone that I can always share that knowing smile with. I appreciate didacticism, contemplativeness, spontaneity and lightheartedness. I would like someone who will argue vehemently if he believes he is right but knows when to admit he's wrong....I like to debate and play devil's advocate on occasion...so if you don't enjoy disagreeing for the sake of a debate and can't laugh during and at the end of a good verbal sparring match...then we might not be a match. =) I would like someone who will be comfortable mingling with my large, learned and amazing extended family; someone who is not afraid of new experiences and people. I would like to find someone who is empathetic and can see the world through others' eyes; someone who is not a cynic.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A national Muslim organization is asking the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office to cancel a training program by a former FBI agent because it is afraid his message will lead to bias against Islam.
The Wichita Eagle reports the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington considers John Guandolo an anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist. Guandolo is to give a two-day training program next week.
The training program in Wichita is expected to draw law enforcement officers from across Kansas. One of Guandolo's main focus areas is the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sheriff's spokesman Lt. David Mattingly says the department has no intention of canceling the course, which is not mandatory.

maybe i'm jaded from working at SmugMug, with all the amazing photography i see on a daily basis... but i almost feel as if (a) the quality is down this year, or (b) they're not releasing the best shots to the public, but keeping them to sell to the competitors as part of the photo packages that they sign up for at scruitineering. i think it's almost definitly (b)... i really hope it's not (a).
what does everyone else think?
I agree, their quality this year is markedly down, Im sure diffrent photographers different situation. Webventure has become a wildy successful business, and knowing the founders from 2010, Im sure they have their focus on other things right now.

Press release from CNW Group
Premier expands high-grade gold mineralization at Cove Gold Project, Nevada
Wednesday, January 09, 2013
Premier expands high-grade gold mineralization at Cove Gold Project, Nevada06:00 EST Wednesday, January 09, 2013Shares Issued: 149,027,712THUNDER BAY, ON, Jan. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - PREMIER GOLD MINES LIMITED (TSX:PG) ("Premier") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the Helen Zone on the Company's Cove Gold Project, located in the Eureka-Battle Mountain Trend in Nevada. These results continue to expand mineralization, with strong grades and widths, along the Cove anticline to the southeast towards and below the historic mining operations.The Helen Zone deposit represents a prospective, high-grade, Carlin-style, gold deposit and is the focus of an ongoing drill program which is to extend the mineralization within both the Upper and Lower Helen Zone horizons. Drilling has now expanded this mineralization by 213 metres (700 feet) to the southeast of previously drilled mineralization with the Helen Zones and the favourable horizons remain wide open. Highlight intervals from the most resent drill holes include:9.16 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) across 16.00 metres (m) (0.27 ounces per ton gold (oz/t Au) across 52.5 feet) including 14.15 g/t Au across 6.25 m (0.41 oz/t Au across 20.5 feet) in the Lower Helen Zone hole AX-18.33.43 g/t Au across 3.51 m (0.98 oz/t Au across 11.5 feet) in the Lower Helen Zone in hole AX-16.7.19 g/t Au across 7.56 m (0.21 oz/t Au across 24.8 feet) in the Lower Helen Zone in hole AX-14.New gold mineralization has been discovered in the deeper, Dixie Valley, rock unit grading 5.67 g/t Au across 5.49 m (0.17 oz/t Au across 18.0 feet). This horizon is located approximately 100 metres (328 feet) below the Lower Helen Zone."Drill results from the step-out drilling supports our geologic model that the Helen Zone is a bedding-controlled Carlin-style deposit which is punctuated by areas of high-grade mineralization where feeder structures intersect the axial plane of the anticline," stated Brian Morris, Vice-President Exploration for Premier. "Current step-out drilling has added materially to the size of the zones at Cove, particularly in the Lower Helen Zone. The prospective horizons are largely untested by previous exploration programs and are wide open for expansion. Additionally, the discovery of gold mineralization within the deeper Dixie Valley rock Formation offers a new target for defining potentially significant mineralization."New drill holes confirm Premier's model that the Helen Zone is a flat-lying, Carlin-style deposit that occurs in favourable limestone and dolomite units and remains open along the favourable anticline structure that was host to the primary mineralized zones mined at the Cove pit.Nevada is one of the world's most favourable jurisdictions for mine development and the Cove Gold Project offers substantial upside in the existing resource areas in addition to opportunities for the discovery of new high-grade gold deposits within the district. The Cove deposit was mined (primarily by open pit) between 1988 and 2001, a period of comparatively low metal prices, producing approximately 2.6 million ounces of gold, and more than 100 million ounces of silver. The Cove Project is held under lease from Newmont McCoy Cove Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation. Newmont has the option at any time to earn back 51%, by paying 250% of all exploration expenditures on the project since March of 2006. If Premier submits a positive feasibility study containing 500,000 ounces gold or greater, Newmont has a window of 90 days in order to confirm its participation.Table 1 provides a summary of all results since Premier has taken over drilling at Cove and Image 1 provides a surface plan view of drilling into the lower Helen Zone. All targets currently being drilled are step-out holes designed to expand the mineralized zones. To-date, this drilling has expanded mineralization by approximately 213 metres (700 feet) to the southeast along strike from the Helen Zone towards the Cove pit. Drilling in 2013 will continue to test the area between the Helen Zone and the Cove open pit with a 2013 budget of approximately $10 million and ultimately 3-4 drills working on the project. Holes AX-8A to AX-12 were previously released (see press release dated August 23, 2012).Table 1 - Select assay results for Helen Zone drilling Hole- IDUTM Coordinates (m)Dip/Azimuth (degrees)From (m)To (m)Interval (m)Grade (g/tonne)From (ft)To (ft)Interval (ft)Grade (oz/ton)ZoneAX-8A4465793N/481838E-58/358575.31587.2011.899.671887.51926.539.00.28LowerAX-8Aincluding 580.19581.040.9132.191903.51906.53.00.94LowerAX-8A 596.04616.4620.4211.751955.52022.567.00.34LowerAX-8Aincluding 604.39605.941.5549.001982.91988.05.11.43LowerAX-8Aand 613.26614.781.5231.892012.02017.05.00.93LowerAX-94465785N/481839E-62/015397.76405.387.622.951305.01330.025.00.09UpperAX-9 537.97550.1612.1914.421765.01805.040.00.42LowerAX-9including 539.50548.649.1417.651770.01800.030.00.51LowerAX-9 585.22592.847.623.711920.01945.025.00.11LowerAX-9 638.55653.7915.243.572095.02145.050.00.10LowerAX-104466034N/481576E68/094479.00481.302.306.201571.515184.108.40.206UpperAX-10 553.82555.191.379.511817.018188.8.131.52LowerAX-10 607.16610.523.3515.661992.02003.011.00.46LowerAX-10 629.41634.755.336.732065.02082.517.50.20LowerAX-10 647.55649.531.988.802124.52131.06.50.26LowerAX-10 684.58686.872.297.142246.02253.57.50.21LowerAX-10 693.73695.401.6814.182276.022184.108.40.206LowerAX-114466038N/481576E-77/082454.46462.387.925.371491.01517.026.00.16UpperAX-11 586.28592.235.948.011923.51943.019.50.23LowerAX-11including 586.28587.811.5217.591923.51928.55.00.51LowerAX-124465783N/481839E-67/045361.19519.68158.502.671185.01705.0520.00.08BothAX-12Including 373.99399.5325.546.921227.01310.883.80.20UpperAX-12and 385.57387.101.5225.771265.01270.05.00.75UpperAX-12and 419.71432.8213.113.921377.01420.043.00.11UpperAX-12and 514.50519.685.189.301688.01705.017.00.27LowerAX-12and 514.50516.642.1316.601688.01695.07.00.48LowerAX-12and 518.77519.680.9113.691702.01705.03.00.40LowerAX-134465783N/481836E-60/063424.28427.913.634.081392.01403.911.90.12Upper DixieAX-13 820.37822.051.681.272691.52697.05.50.04ValleyAX-144465783N/481836E-70/063432.21436.173.967.031418.01431.013.00.21UpperAX-14 448.06455.987.923.591470.01496.026.00.10UpperAX-14 591.92603.2011.275.081942.01979.037.00.15LowerAX-14including 595.64603.207.567.191954.21979.024.80.21LowerAX-154465785N/481839E-65/085410.41414.073.664.541346.51358.512.00.13UpperAX-164465785N/481839E-75/085442.87452.489.603.631453.01484.531.50.11UpperAX-16 455.52457.602.073.261494.51501.36.80.10UpperAX-16 575.46578.973.5133.431888.01899.511.50.98LowerAX-16including 576.53578.972.4447.041891.51899.58.01.37Lower DixieAX-16 694.03699.525.495.672277.02295.018.00.17ValleyAX-174465563N/481906E-60/41 holeabandoned AX-184465784N/481840E-77/045376.89381.464.573.621236.51251.515.00.11UpperAX-18 548.18646.6398.452.381798.52121.53230.07BothAX-18including 562.20578.2116.009.161844.5189752.50.27LowerAX-18and 562.20563.271.0751.651844.51848.03.51.51LowerAX-18and 571.96578.216.2514.151876.501897.020.50.41LowerAX-18and 635.81643.437.625.492086.02111.025.00.16Lower-gravimetric assays used when available - true widths estimated at approximately 80% - 95% of core interceptImage 1- Surface plan view of drilling in the Lower Helen Zone.http://files.newswire.ca/598/prem0109.pdfPremier's management team believes that the Cove Project represents one of the most under-explored projects in Nevada. It is located in the Eureka-Battle Mountain Trend that is host to numerous multi-million ounce producing and past-producing mines. The property is located in close proximity to excellent infrastructure (including paved roads & power) and work has progressed such that permitting for an expanded surface drill campaign can be undertaken and underground access can be advanced.OTHER PROJECTSPremier holds several projects that will be subject to major exploration programs in 2013. Recently, underground drilling has commenced from the haulage drift in Red Lake on the Rahill-Bonanza Project (PG 49% and Red Lake Gold Mines 51%). Five surface drills are active on the Company's 100%-owned Trans-Canada Project, and preliminary work is being done in advance of a decision to commence dewatering and Advanced Exploration. Recently, a revised resource estimate identified gold mineral resources in multiple deposits with 4.12 ounces in the Measured and Indicated categories and 3.65 ounces in the inferred category.Stephen McGibbon, P. Geo., is the Qualified Person for the information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Assay results for RC drill samples were sent to American Assay Laboratories located in Elko, Nevada prep facility and analysis was performed at their Sparks, Nevada analytical facility utilizing 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Core samples were analyzed by Inspectorate laboratory facility located in Sparks, Nevada and analysis was done using 30 gram fire assay with AA finish and ICP-MS 30 element scan from 4-acid digestion. .Premier Gold Mines Limited is one of North America's leading exploration companies with a high-quality pipeline of projects focused in proven, safe and accessible mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

This application relates to commonly-owned, PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US99/18610 filed Aug. 16, 1999.
The invention relates generally to systems for measuring air pressure in pneumatic tires of vehicles and, more particularly, to systems including a sensor and a transponder associated with each of the vehicle tires.
Safe, efficient and economical operation of a motor vehicle depends, to a significant degree, on maintaining the correct air pressure in the tires of the motor vehicle. Failure to correct promptly for faulty/abnormal (typically low) air.pressure may result in excessive tire wear, blow-outs, poor gasoline mileage and steering difficulties.
The need to monitor tire pressure is highlighted in the context of "run-flat" (driven deflated) tires, tires which are capable of being used in a completely deflated condition. Such run-flat tires, as disclosed for example in commonly-owned U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,082, incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, may incorporate reinforced sidewalls and mechanisms for securing the tire bead to the rim to enable a driver to maintain control over the vehicle after a catastrophic pressure loss, and are evolving to the point where it is becoming less and less noticeable to the driver that the tire has become deflated. The broad purpose behind using run-flat tires is to enable a driver of a vehicle to continue driving on a deflated pneumatic tire for a limited distance (e.g., 50 miles, or 80 kilometers) prior to getting the tire repaired, rather than stopping on the side of the road to repair the deflated tire. Hence, it is generally desirable to provide a low pressure warning system (LPWS) within the vehicle to alert (e.g., via a light on the dashboard, or a buzzer) the driver to the loss of air in a pneumatic tire.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical low pressure warning system (LPWS) 100 of the prior art installed on a motor vehicle 102 (shown in dashed lines) having four pneumatic tires 104 a . . . 104 d installed on four respective wheels (not shown). A transponder ("TAG") 106 a . . . 106 d is associated with each of the tires 104 a . . . 104 d, respectively.
As used herein, a "transponder" is an electronic apparatus (device) capable of both receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals, and impressing variable information (data) in a suitable format upon the transmitted signal indicative of a measured condition (e.g., tire pressure) or conditions (e.g., tire pressure, temperature, revolutions), as well as optionally impressing fixed information (e.g., tire ID) on the transmitted signal, as well as optionally responding to information which may be present on a signal which is received by the transponder.
"Passive" transponders are transponders powered by the energy of a signal received from an external "interrogator" apparatus. "Active" transponders are transponders having their own power supply (e.g., a battery), and include active transponders which remain in a "sleep" mode, using minimal power, until "woken up" by a signal from an interrogator.
The transponders 106 a . . . 106 d are suitably passive transponders which obtain their operating power from an RF signal which is provided by an on-board interrogator 108 which is mounted within the vehicle.
The interrogator 108 comprises an RF transmitter 112 (e.g., for powering passive transponders), an RF receiver 114, control logic 116 which may include a microprocessor (μP), and a display device 118 such a visual display and optionally including an audible alarm. Antennas ("ANT") 110 a . . . 110 d are disposed on the vehicle 102, preferably adjacent the tires 104 a . . . 104 d, respectively, such as in the wheel wells of the vehicle. The antennas 110 a . . . 110 d are suitably ferrite loopstick antennas.
The use of multiple vehicle antennas 110 a . . . 110 d, each at a fixed position on the vehicle adjacent a respective tire 104 a . . . 104 d, such as in the wheel well, is well known, and is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,553,060; 3,810,090; 4,220,907; 4,319,220; and 5,774,047, all of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein. In this manner, close coupling can be effected between the tire transponders and the vehicle antennas, thereby facilitating identifying which of the several wheels on a vehicle has a sensed low pressure condition.
In use, the interrogator 108 powers the transponders 106 a . . . 106 d which, in turn, transmit data indicative of a measured condition (e.g., tire air pressure) back to the interrogator 108. In any such system, it is desirable to have efficient and effective coupling of signals between the fixed antennas 110 a . . . 110 d (alternatively, one centrally-located fixed antenna) and the moving (i.e., when the vehicle is in motion) transponders (each of which has its own antenna, not shown).
Low pressure warning systems for tires are generally well known, and representative examples may be found in the following U.S. Patents, all of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein: U.S. Pat. No. 3,694,803 (Strenglein; 1972); U.S. Pat. No. 4,067,235 (Markland, et al.; 1978); U.S. Pat. No. 4,334,215 (Frazier, et al.; 1982); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,335,540 (Bowler, et al.; 1994).
An important feature of a viable low pressure warning system employing transponders and an interrogator is providing effective coupling of radio frequency (RF) signals between the transponders which may be located inside of the pneumatic tires, and the interrogator which may be located at some central location in the vehicle. An additional important feature of a viable low pressure warning system is providing an indication to the operator of the vehicle of the condition being monitored, for example, low tire pressure, correct tire pressure, etc.
For example, a straightforward approach is to have an RF transmitter and pressure sensor within each tire (e.g., affixed to the valve stem thereof). In order to save power, the transmitter may only transmit when pressure drops below a threshold value. A single, centrally-located receiver in the vehicle cab can detect the transmission, and cause an audible signal to be sounded to alert the driver to the sensed low pressure condition. In such a system, the RF transmissions from the transmitters must be adequate to penetrate vehicle components to be detected by the receiver. Generally, no hard wiring from the vicinity of the wheels to the receiver is required when utilizing such an RF communications link. When relying on robust RF coupling between the individual transmitters (or transponders) and a central receiver (or interrogator), techniques should be provided to prevent "false alarms", such as a low tire pressure signal emitted by a transmitter of another vehicle in close proximity to the vehicle in question. Additionally, it is sometimes desirable to be able to ascertain which of the several (e.g., four) tires on a given vehicle has a sensed low pressure condition.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,533,060 (Garcia; 1970), incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, describes a pressure-responsive radio transmitter (13) disposed on each valve stem (21) of each tire (12) of a vehicle (11).
"Receiving antennas 16 are mounted in each of the wheel wells and connected by appropriate leads to a receiver set 17 mounted on or attached to the dashboard of the vehicle 11 . . . the receiver set can be of standard construction and include amplifying means to amplify the signals picked up by the antennas 16 and means for indicating the occurrence of such transmission, in the form of a buzzer, a bell, a light, or the like." (column 2, lines 30-38)
U.S. Pat. No. 4,220,907 (Pappas, et al.; 1980), incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, discloses a low tire pressure alarm system for vehicles such as trucks and cars. Each wheel is provided with a transmitter (200). A common receiver (300) has either a single receiving antenna, or multiple antennas, with each wheel having a separate antenna (302a . . . 302d) associated therewith. As disclosed therein at (column 14, line 66 through column 15, line 3):
"If multiple antennas are provided, they would be optimally loops of fairly large size, located near each wheel . . . however . . . a ferrite loopstick will do, and that smaller dimension of this arrangement makes for a more convenient mounting package"
The possibility of two antennas at each wheel location is also discussed in this patent (column 15, lines 11-15). As shown in FIG. 15, four antennas 302a . . . 302d may be selected, one at a time, by an analog switch (304).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,541,574 (Lowe, et al., 1996), incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, discloses (at FIG. 11 thereof):
"the electrical circuitry for a single exciter/reader [interrogator] 92 is provided at a suitable location within the vehicle, and used to communicate with transponders (not shown) on each of the vehicle's wheel assemblies 2a-2d. The output of the exciter/reader 92 is time shared between corresponding antenna coils 48a-48d adjacent each of the wheel sites. Only the antenna coils 48a-48d, and no electronics, are required at the localized wheel sites. This is facilitated by the extreme simplicity of the required signal protocol, and the large magnitude of the return signals. The exciter/reader 92 communicates with one tire transponder at a time, deactivating a given transponder before moving on to the next. " (column 7, lines 51-64)
U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,754 (Lee Jr., et al.; 1998), incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, discloses an apparatus 10, comprising a transponder 18 and sensors, suitable for mounting within or on a vehicle tire and which operates to sense and transmit various tire condition parameters to a remote interrogation unit 80. As disclosed therein:
"A transponder and sensor apparatus with on-board power supply is mounted in or on a vehicle tire. A pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and a tire rotation sensor are mounted in a housing along with the transponder, the power supply and an antenna. Upon receiving an interrogation signal from a remote interrogator, the transponder activates the sensors to sense tire pressure and temperature and then backscatter-modulates the radio frequency signal from the interrogator with the tire condition parameter data from the sensors to return the backscatter modulated signal to the interrogator."(Abstract)
The interrogator 80, as shown in FIG. 9 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,754, generates an interrogation signal which is transmitted by transmitter 84 over an antenna 85. The interrogation signal is received by the remotely located transponders 18, which respond using a backscatter modulation technique. The backscatter-modulated signal from the transponder 18 is passed by the antenna 85 to an input of a receiver 86, for decoding. In this manner,
"the tire condition parameter data from one or more apparatus 10 may then be output from the interrogator 80 to an external host computer 90 by suitable communication circuits including parallel, RS-232, RS-485 and ETHERNET communication circuits." (column 7, lines 55-59).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,790,016 (Konchin, et al.; 1998), incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, discloses a tire pressure sensing system. A sensor-transducer (14) is mounted within each tire, and is essentially a passive LC circuit with a pressure-sensitive switching element. A receiver (20) is mounted in proximity to each tire, and comprises inductors and an amplifier which together form an oscillator. The system continuously monitors air pressure within each of the tires during motion of the motor vehicle though generation of an electromagnetic coupling between corresponding pairs of sensor-transducers and receivers during an alignment that occurs between the transducers and couplers during each rotation of the tire. An indicator interface (80) is located within the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, such as on the dashboard, and displays the current status of each of the vehicle tires, such as with LEDs, to the motor vehicle operator. Each receiver is connected to the indicator interface through wiring, or, alternatively, through a wireless communication link.
It is an aspect of the present invention to provide method and apparatus for monitoring an operating characteristic of a pneumatic tire, as defined in one or more of the appended claims and, as such, having the capability of being implemented in a manner to accomplish one or more of the subsidiary objects.
According to the invention, a Low Pressure Warning System (LPWS) comprises a "tag" associated with, and preferably disposed within, each tire of a vehicle. At least one sensor is associated with each tag, such as a pressure sensor. The tag is capable, in the least, of transmitting an RF signal modulated with information regarding measured air pressure within the tire, and may also include temperature data (in which case, a temperature sensor would also be associated with each tag). The RF signals from the tire tags are low-power, short range signals and, for each tag, are received by an associated monitor located in close proximity to the respective tire tag, such as within the respective wheel well of the vehicle. The monitor receives and demodulates the RF signal from the associated tire tag, and impresses a data signal indicative of tire temperature (and, optionally, pressure) on a data bus within the vehicle. An on-board vehicle computer is also connected to the data bus, to receive and interpret the data. A display is also connected to the data bus, to display the interpreted data, under direction of the computer. Optionally, the tag is also capable of receiving information on an RF signal transmitted by the associated monitor. Such a signal is generated by the monitor in response to a data signal impressed on the data bus by the computer. There is thus provided a method for measuring and monitoring tire pressure, and providing this information to a driver of the vehicle, including warning the driver when a low tire pressure condition occurs.
An advantage of the LPWS of the present invention is that the same design can be used in all types of vehicles from passenger cars to heavy duty vehicles, including trailers. The LPWS can be offered as an option by the vehicle manufacturer since it connects easily to (two wire plug-in connection, or 4 wires. Include power connections) and multiplexes its data to existing RS-485 (or the like) vehicle data buses.
Another advantage of the LPWS of the present invention is that all tire pressure (and temperature) data can be displayed on the common vehicle display, thereby eliminating a requirement for a dedicated tire parameter display.
Another advantage of the LPWS of the present invention is that it features a "short haul" (close proximity) RF link (between the tire tag and the antenna of the associated LPWS monitor) rather than a "long haul" RF link. An advantage of "short haul" is a short unobstructed signal path with resulting low power requirements and higher reliability, as well as other benefits of near field transmission.
Another advantage of the LPWS of the present invention is that, when receiving data the LPWS monitor removes the data from the RF signal and impresses the data directly onto the data bus, thereby eliminating any need for RF energy to be routed over the vehicle wiring. Conversely, when transmitting, the LPWS monitor generates its own RF, again obviating any need for RF energy to be routed over the vehicle wiring.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description that follows.
Reference will be made in detail to preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The drawings are intended to be illustrative, not limiting.

The structure, operation, and advantages of the present preferred embodiment of the invention will become further apparent upon consideration of the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of a low pressure warning system (LPWS), according to the prior art;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a multiplexed low pressure warning system (LPWS) installed on a vehicle, according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary wheel station reader for the LPWS system of FIG. 2, according to the invention;
FIG. 3A is a schematic illustration of an alternate embodiment of an exemplary wheel station reader for the LPWS system of FIG. 2, according to the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary electronic "tag", located within each tire of the vehicle, for the LPWS system of FIG. 2, according to the invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the Low Pressure Warning System (LPWS) 200 of the present invention, installed on a vehicle 202 (shown in dashed lines), such as a typical passenger vehicle having four pneumatic tires 204 a, 204 b, 204 c and 204 d installed on four respective wheels (not shown).
The vehicle 202 is preferably equipped with an RS-485 (or equivalent) multiplexed serial data bus 206 controlled by an on-board vehicle computer 208 having an RS-485 interface 210. Preferably, a central display unit 212 is connected either directly to the computer 208 or is operatively connected (as shown) to the computer 208 via the data bus 206.
The serial data bus 206 is suitably an 18-gauge twisted pair of insulated wires (labeled "A" and "B"), preferably with a minimum of one twist per inch, with an overall length of less than 40 meters. It is within the scope of the invention that if no data bus is provided on the vehicle, one can be added thereto. For example, in the absence of an existing vehicle data bus, a dedicated data bus may be provided, such as a bi-directional data bus conforming to RS-485 or other suitable serial communications standards.
Each of the four tires 204 a . . . 204 d is equipped with an electronic module ("TAG") 220 a . . . 220 d, respectively, and associated sensor (not shown, well known) capable of monitoring one or more conditions such as air pressure and air temperature within the tire, and transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal indicative of (e.g., modulated as a function of) the monitored condition(s) within the respective vehicle tire. The tags 220 a . . . 220 d are suitably transponders, but may alternatively simply comprise one or more condition sensors and a radio frequency transmitter. The tags 220 a . . . 220 d are described in greater detail with respect to FIGS. 3 and 3A, herein below.
The system 200 comprises four LPWS wheel station readers (monitors) 230 a . . . 230 d, each associated with a respective one of the tires 204 a . . . 204 d and located in close proximity therewith, such as mounted within the wheel wells of the vehicle. Each monitor 230 a . . . 230 d comprises an antenna 232 a . . . 232 d, respectively, which is attached at a fixed position on the vehicle adjacent the tire, within the near field of the respective tag (220). As mentioned herein above, the use of near field transmission has many distinct advantages over transmitting over an inherently greater distance from each wheel to a central location on the vehicle.
Each monitor (230) is connected to a source of power (as indicated by the lines terminating in circles and triangles) and is connected to the multiplexed serial data bus 206 for individually communicating with the on-board computer 208. The monitors 230 a . . . 230 d are described in greater detail with respect to FIG. 4, hereinbelow.
Each monitor 230 a . . . 230 d is generally comparable to an interrogator of a conventional transponder system, in that it comprises an antenna 232 a . . . 232 d, a receiver (not shown) for receiving transmissions for the tag, and a transmitter (not shown) for transmitting signals (and optionally power) to a respective one of the tags 220 a . . . 220 d. Each antenna 232 a . . . 232 d couples with an associated one of the tags 220 a . . . 220 d, respectively.
It is within the scope of the invention that all components of the monitor (230), including the antenna (232) can be encapsulated in a single package. Alternatively, the antenna (232) can be deposed outside of each a package. The antenna 232 is suitably a coil of wire on a ferrite rod, such as is described in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,220,907 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,319,220.
Each monitor 230 a . . . 230 d comprises a suitable data transceivers (such as the DS36277 Dominant Mode Multipoint Transceiver by National Semiconductor), discussed in greater detail hereinbelow, to facilitate two-way data transmission via the data bus 206.
In this manner, monitored condition information carried by the RF signals from the respective tags (220) can be decoded (e.g., demodulated) and provided to the on-board computer 208 for subsequent display (212) to the operator of the vehicle. It is within the scope of the invention that suitable discernable visual and/or audible warnings can be used at the option of the vehicle manufacturer.
A monitor's transmissions to the respective tag may comprise a carrier signal for energizing a passive tag, and may comprise signals to "wake up" an active tag which is in a low-power sleep mode.
Monitored condition information carried by the RF signals from the respective tags 220 a . . . 220 d can be decoded (e.g., demodulated) and provided to the on-board computer 208 for subsequent display (212) to the operator of the vehicle 202. It is within the scope of the invention that suitable discernable visual and/or audible warnings can be used at the option of the vehicle manufacturer.
Regarding communications occurring over the serial data bus 206, multiplex (MUX) wiring, or networking, is generally well known, and has been introduced in automotive applications to address the increase in complexity and the number of onboard electronic devices in automobiles.
For example, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has promulgated the J1708 "Recommended Practice" for implementing a bi-directional serial communications link, defining parameters of the serial link that relate primarily to hardware and basic software compatibility such as interface requirements, system protocol, and message format. J1708 is a hardware and basic communications protocol specification. The aforementioned DS36277 is a transceiver based on a standard RS-485 transceiver and optimized for use with J1708. The physical media of the J1708 serial data bus is 18-gauge twisted pair with a minimum of one twist per inch, with a maximum intended length of 40 meters. A follow-up to J1708 is the SAE J1587 Recommended Practice which defines a format for messages and data being communicated over the J1708 data bus. A number of message identification numbers (MIDs) are assigned to transmitter categories, and no two transmitters in the system shall have the same MID. Subsystem identification numbers (SIDs) are assigned, there being a plurality of SIDs definable for each MID. For example, there are a number of engine SIDs, a number of transmission SIDs, etc. A number of parameter identification characters (PID) are assigned.
For example, PID "241" is assigned to tire pressure, and PID "242" is assigned to tire temperature.
FIG. 3 is a simplified schematic illustration of an exemplary tag 300 (compare 220 a . . . 220 d) for use in the system 200 of FIG. 2. The tag 300 is preferably a transponder, and comprises an antenna 302, a receiver 304, a transmitter 306, a pressure sensor 308, a temperature sensor 310, signal conditioning circuitry 312, and a microcontroller 314 which may preferably have a unique identification (ID) number associated therewith, the aforementioned electronic components being interconnected as shown in the figure.
The tag (transponder) 300 is an electronic device that requires power to operate, and may be either "active" or "passive". As mentioned hereinabove, "passive" transponders are transponders powered by the energy of a signal received from an external "interrogator" apparatus. "Active" transponders are transponders having their own power supply (e.g., a battery). FIG. 3 illustrates a passive version of the tag 300, wherein a power supply 320 rectifies an RF signal received on the antenna 302 and provides a raw DC signal to a power supply circuit 320 (typically comprising a bridge rectifier and a storage capacitor), which supplies DC current to an optional power regulator circuit 322 for powering the other components of the tag 300. The components of the tag 300 are suitably disposed within a package 324 to protect the components. The package 324 is suitably a plastic package within which the components are encapsulated. The antenna 302 is shown as being disposed within the package 324. However, it should be understood that the antenna 302 could be disposed outside of the package 324 including, for example, a loop of wire extending about the circumference of the tire on an inside surface thereof.
FIG. 3A illustrates an active version of the tag 300 a (compare 300), wherein a battery 330 provides power to a power supply circuit 320 a (compare 220) to a power regulator 322 a (compare 322) to power the other components of the tag 300 a. The battery 330 is suitably located outside (as shown) of the package 324.
As mentioned hereinabove, monitors (230 a . . . 230 d) are attached to the vehicle and located adjacent to each tire (204 a . . . 204 d) such that a low-powered radio transmission can take place between the tire and the respective monitor in a controlled manner. The LPWS monitor comprises a transmitter to address the tag within the tire, a receiver to receive pressure (and, optionally, temperature) data from the tag (220 a . . . 220 d) within the tire, and a controller to supervise the sequencing of transmitter/receiver operation and to transmit data received from the tag over the vehicle data bus (106).
FIG. 4 is a simplified schematic illustration of an exemplary monitor 400 (compare 230) for use in the system 200 of FIG. 2 with a transponder-type tag such as was described with respect to FIGS. 3 and 3A.
The monitor 400 comprises an antenna 402 (compare 232), a receiver 404 for receiving transmissions from the tag (300), a transmitter 406 for transmitting to the tag (300), and a controller 408 for controlling the operation of the monitor 400. The transmissions to the tag may comprise a carrier signal for energizing a passive tag, and may comprise signals to "wake up" an active tag which is in a low-power sleep mode. These, and other components of the monitor 400 are suitably disposed within a package 410 to protect the components. The package 310 is suitably a plastic package within which the components are encapsulated. The antenna 402 is shown as being disposed outside of the package 410. However, it should be understood that the antenna could be disposed within the package 410.
The monitor 400 is preferably hard-wired, via a power regulator 412 which is preferably contained within the package 410, to the automobile power (vehicle power supply), typically positive 12 volts ("+12 V") and ground ("GND").
The monitor 400 also comprises a data transceiver 420 which is preferably contained within the package 410. The data transceiver 420 is operatively connected to the controller 408, as illustrated to facilitate two-way data transmission between the controller 408 and a vehicle data bus 430 (compare 206). The vehicle data bus 430 is suitably bi-directional and conforms to RS-485 communications standards.
As mentioned hereinabove, if no data bus is provided on the vehicle, one can be added thereto. For example, in the absence of an existing vehicle data bus (206), a dedicated data bus may be provided, such as a bi-directional data bus conforming to RS-485 or other suitable serial communications standards.
The data transceiver 420 is suitably a DS36277 Dorninant Mode Multipoint Transceiver, by National Semiconductor. The DS36277 Dominant Mode Multipoint Transceiver is designed for use on bi-directional differential busses. It is optimal for use on Interfaces that utilize Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1708 Electrical Standard. The device is similar to standard TIA/EIA-485 transceivers, but differs in enabling scheme. The Driver's Input is normally externally tied LOW, thus providing only two states: Active (LOW), or Disabled (OFF). When the driver is active, the dominant mode is LOW, conversely, when the driver is disabled, the bus is pulled HIGH by external bias resistors. The receiver provides a FAILSAFE feature that guarantees a known output state when the Interface is in the following conditions: Floating Line, Idle Line (no active drivers), and Line Fault Conditions (open or short). The receiver output is HIGH for the following conditions: Open Inputs, Terminated Inputs (50 Ohm), or Shorted Inputs. FAILSAFE is a highly desirable feature when the transceivers are used with Asynchronous Controllers such as UARTs.
Although the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character it being understood that only preferred embodiments have been shown and described, and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected. Undoubtedly, many other "variations" on the "themes" set forth hereinabove will occur to one having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention most nearly pertains, and such variations are intended to be within the scope of the invention, as disclosed herein.

Internet content blocking travels downstream, affects unwary users
http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-conten...p2-640x371.jpg Much of Oman's Internet traffic is routed through India, as well as the Suez Canal.
A team of Canadian researchers have uncovered an unusual new example of 'upstream filtering,' where online content in one country is blocked in another country due to filtering that happens in transit.
Researchers at the Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto, revealedthat some Oman Internet users using the Omantel ISP are also being subjected to Indian content restrictionsbecause of traffic flowing through India.
'It goes to show what you can find when you begin to probe beneath the surface of the Internet, and what you see when you have governments start to mess with the openness of the Internet,' Ron Deibert, Citizen Lab's director, told Ars on Thursday. 'In this case you have a perverse situation where citizens in one country are subject to filtering in another country.'

Every night, Batman protects the citizens of Gotham from the shadows. But lately another vigilante has been prowling the streets, and his merciless methods are more frightening than reassuring. Now, as the Red Hood commences to exterminating the scum of the city with extreme prejudice, the Joker resurfaces to taunt his old nemesis by digging up some skeletons that were best left buried.
