John Michael McDonagh's much-anticipated third film stars Michael Peña, Alexander Skarsgård, and Theo James
SANTA FE—New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today the award-winning writer-director John Michael McDonagh's jet-black action-comedy War on Everyone has started principal photography in Albuquerque, NM. The film is produced by Chris Clark (Calvary, The Guard, Johnny English Reborn) and Flora Fernandez Marengo (Calvary, The Guard, The Betrayal) for Reprisal Films, in conjunction with Phil Hunt and Compton Ross for Head Gear Films with the support of the BFI Film Fund. Bankside Films are handling international sales and will co-represent domestic rights with CAA and UTA jointly.
Known for his distinctively witty sensibility and confrontational humor, War on Everyone is McDonagh's follow-up to the acclaimed drama Calvary, starring Brendan Gleeson, and his offbeat comedy The Guard, also starring Gleeson, with Don Cheadle, which became a worldwide sleeper hit.
The film stars Michael Peña (Ant-Man, Fury, End of Watch), Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan, Melancholia, "True Blood,") and Theo James (Insurgent, Divergent). Joining in supporting roles are Tessa Thompson (Selma, Dear White People), Caleb Landry Jones (X Men: First Class, God's Pocket), Paul Reiser (Concussion, Whiplash), Stephanie Sigman (Spectre, Miss Bala) and David Wilmot (The Guard, Calvary, '71).
War On Everyone is about two corrupt cops in New Mexico who set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Things take a sinister turn, however, when they try to intimidate someone who is more dangerous than they are. Or is he?
McDonagh commented: "It gives me great pleasure to declare War on Everyone with my fellow combatants, Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård. We look forward to the battles ahead, and we will go on with a spirit that fears nothing. That's Homer, by the way."
Behind-the-scenes talent on War on Everyone is led by cinematographer Bobby Bukowski (99 Homes, Rosewater, Rampart), production designer Wynn Thomas (A Beautiful Mind, Analyze This), costume designer Terry Anderson (Jane Got a Gun, Blood Father), casting by Sarah Finn (Ant Man, Guardians of the Galaxy )and New Mexico casting by Jo Edna Boldin (Transendence, No Country For Old Men). Elizabeth Eves (Calvary, The Guard) is co-producer and Alton Walpole (Crazy Heart, The Book of Eli) line produces.
Bankside Films is pleased to announce major territory pre-sales to Icon Films in the UK, Icon Film Distribution in Australia/New Zealand and to Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions for Latin America, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and selected international territories.
War on Everyone will film in and around Albuquerque, NM, from early April until mid-May 2015, before the production moves to Reykjavik, Iceland, for its final week of filming. The movie will hire 25 New Mexico cast, 352 local background players, 12 local stunt players and 70 New Mexico crew.

A world premier in collaboration with Spirit in the House:
MARIETTA is a play based on the true story of one mother's journey towards forgiveness in the wake of an unspeakable family tragedy. In 1973 Marietta Jaeger's youngest daughter was kidnapped and murdered. Marietta wrestled with her fury and rage and through the power of God's love, wisdom and inspiration, she was able to forgive the person who caused tremendous pain for her and her family. This play is based on personal testimony from Marietta about the event and her experience of epiphany, which allowed her to accept God's will over her own.
Spirit in the House is a company that creates events where spiritual diversity is honored and encouraged. We learn by knowing each other, and understanding brings peace.

one of a finds: XL cinema journal
With the film industry of India's move to digital vinyl billboards, sadly, the talents of an almost extinct community of Bollywood artists—known for their kitschy, glamorous movie posters and sets—is no longer in high demand.
Once required to produce up to 20 posters a day, this special initiative provides the artists not only a new source of income, but also the opportunity for a slower pace focused on their skills and passion for painting.
In an effort to keep their art alive, each XL cinema journal is made of special white pH neutral handmade paper, reclaimed from cotton rag, and is bound by a canvas cover which is hand-painted and signed by these original masters.
One of a Finds original works are offered one time only as a limited edition for collectors and enthusiasts—the fluorescent lips/eyes painting has a fall 2011 release of 200.

13% Avg. Alpha. We are excited to bring you the first of what we hope are many offerings of certified organic hops grown right here in North America. Grown in the Yakima Valley of the Pacific Northwest by a family farm with generations of experience growing hops, and one of the first to grow certified organic hops on a large scale here in the United Staes. These are strong bittering hops with a strong citrus or grapefruit aroma. We are impressed with the strong pungent aroma with herbal notes reminiscent of a good Australian Pride of Ringwood hop. With the strong citrus character, Summit is a good choice for an American style IPA. Summit is the first dwarf hop to be bred for production in the United States. They are grown on a low trellis requiring hand picking so the hop cones are hand selected and less damaged than machine harvested hops. Recommended substitute for Galena, Simcoe, Cascade, or Pride of Ringwood.

We Made the Move: Katie McCall
As of today, my two children and I have been in the "Shire" for four whole weeks. We conveniently landed in our new home after the last snowfall and before the hot humid summer. Mostly I'm buttering my kids up for what I know is ahead of us. Ticks. Mosquitoes. Blizzards. My son has promised to shovel snow. He thinks it'll be no big deal… Score!
We left California--where I spent my entire life--for good on February 24, the day after the judge let me off of formal probation for a felony I was given for attending a birth in 2007 while I was a midwifery student. I was not allowed to leave Los Angeles County while I was on probation and was restricted from my work as a midwife. Because of my felony, I was unable to find work in a county with a nearly 20% unemployment rate. My income had decreased to one-tenth of what it had been before my arrest. I cleaned toilets, babysat, washed cars, ran errands... all for friends, because strangers ran criminal background checks. More...

We Made the Move (Pre-Stater Edition): Rick Honer
Many "Free Staters" have two concerns when considering their move to New Hampshire: a job and housing. There is a free market solution to both of these problems which might be a good fit for some.

We Made the Move: Angela and Emmett Harris
After the winds of Winter Storm Nemo had subsided and the raspy protests of shovels scraping pavement commingled with the mechanized purr of snow blowers moving mounds of nature's frozen tears, we took a much needed respite from our participation in the clearing activities to reflect on our new life in the Granite State. The two of us have been through our share of winter storms, but Jeremy, our teenage son who made the move with us, left New England before he had developed a full appreciation for some of the nastier offspring Old Man Winter and Mother Nature can create. For the better part of the past decade, and hence the majority of his life, we had lived in the balmier climes of North Carolina. Freezing temperatures weren't foreign, but their stay was usually brief and rarely were they accompanied by more than a dusting of the white stuff. That said, you might suspect that a generational storm would dampen our enthusiasm as one of the newest families to officially move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. On the contrary, we found Nemo to be a welcome challenge, telling us it's time to put up or shut up. More...
We Made the Move: Monica Dean
Making the move to New Hampshire for the Free State Project was an easy decision. At the time, I was in the process of separating from the Navy and looking for options on where to start my new life. My other half mentioned New Hampshire and the FSP when I was in the thick of discovering what freedom and liberty means. I immediately signed up and decided to move there in six months.
I moved on December 17, 2011 from San Diego and was greeted by a large group of Porcupines who helped me move in and welcomed me with open arms. So far, I have gotten involved in several activism events. In January, I campaigned for Ron Paul in the New Hampshire primary and met hundreds of students from around the country who share my passion for liberty. I also started a Young Americans for Liberty Chapter at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester, where I major in Politics and Society using my post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. Last year I helped Emily Sandblade with her winning campaign for State Representative. More...
We Made the Move: Zed and Aahz
A few years ago, my father started listening to a radio show called Free Talk Live. I was 13 or so, and politics was something I never thought about. I knew who the president was and what school taught us about voting Republican or Democrat, but that was about it. My dad had always told me he was an anarchist and that meant he didn't believe in government. My mother worked with the state police department and I didn't understand how he could want her to be out of a job. How could he not want police? They keep us safe! After opening my eyes, things changed a lot.
Dad started talking to me about things he heard on Free Talk Live, asking thought-provoking questions like, "without government, who will build the roads?" I guess I had never realized before that taxes were stolen money, and although schools, food for unemployed neighbors, and roads were important, this was not the way to go about it. More...

We Made the Move: Kristine and Phil Boncer
Phil and I met in May 1999 and instantly connected, in large part because we are both lifelong instinctive libertarians. As we developed our relationship and our businesses, we knew we couldn't stay in California. By early 2001, Phil was actively gathering data on a variety of factors to figure out which states were to be on our short list for consideration. One evening Phil showed me a tiny blurb on something called The Free State Project, our eyes lit up; we went to the website, read what was there, and signed on the spot.
In the summer of 2004, we flew to Boston, rented a car, attended PorcFest for several days and explored the state on our way. We were both thrilled to have found a group of people where personal responsibility made sense, and were both very inspired and ready to start the process of relocating our lives and businesses. My business, Curious Creek Fibers, was fairly easy, as I produce hand-dyed yarn and sell it wholesale to specialty hand-knitting shops around the country but because Phil's pharmaceutical engineering consulting business needs clients, that was a bigger consideration.

We Made the Move: Kari and Joe DePhillips
I signed on for the Free State Project when I was a sophomore in college, and it took me almost 10 years to make the move from Pittsburgh, PA. When my husband and I moved to Lincoln last month, we knew we had made the right decision. Once we walked through the door of our new home, we realized that the 14.5 hours we spent driving in a car with two not-sedated-enough cats and an impatient 90-lb dog were well worth the effort.
Our rental came fully furnished, so we didn't have much to move in. However, we did have some beds to move out to make room for office space – and several people offered to make the drive upstate to help. Mark Edge and Ian Freeman were two of them, and it's not every day you get two nationally syndicated radio hosts in your house moving furniture around! Thanks again to everyone who helped, and we still have plenty of beer left over if anyone wants to come up for a visit. More...

We Made the Move: The Harvey Brothers
"It's OK, I've been here before, you're expected to push," an American voice managed to cut through the thick of the human mass. We had never been to Kiev's Boryspil Airport before, but I could feel the Communism was still in the air. Like humidity in a coastal city, it always manages to linger.
My brother Josh and I had left Ben-Gurion airport in Israel about four hours earlier and were rushing to make our connection to New York. Aah, I gasped as I started making my way to the gate. Finally on my way to the land of the free and the home of the… security lines, questioning booths, and body scanners.
The truth is, the first time I felt optimistic about my life change was about twenty hours later when we first drove our rental car past a large and clumsy sign that read: "Welcome New Hampshire. Live Free or Die." More...

- Encoding induction in correctness proofs of program transformations as a termination problem (2012)
- The diagram-based method to prove correctness of program transformations consists of computing complete set of (forking and commuting) diagrams, acting on sequences of standard reductions and program transformations. In many cases, the only missing step for proving correctness of a program transformation is to show the termination of the rearrangement of the sequences. Therefore we encode complete sets of diagrams as term rewriting systems and use an automated tool to show termination, which provides a further step in the automation of the inductive step in correctness proofs.

Bridal makeup: Putting your best face forwardWritten by Guest Author | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Natalie Pohorecki
Brides are my forte, my niche, my cup of tea … I love wedding makeup!
My technique doesn't change much as I move from summer weddings into beautiful fall and winter weddings, but I do make adjustments for weather, skin type and of course personal preference so that each beautiful face I get to work with feels comfortable and confidant. I want my brides to walk away feeling like this is the way they always dreamed they would look on their wedding day
Here are a few quick tips to achieve flawless photo-ready makeup that will last hours into the night, whether a professional makeup artist like myself is doing your makeup or if you are doing your own.
- Foundation: Even if you do not normally wear foundation, your wedding is the day to start. Your photographer will thank you later! If you have a professional makeup artist he or she will help you pick what works best for your skin type. I typically do not use powders because they do not last throughout the day and need more touch-ups. Airbrush is the new trend I have been using for years on my clients and they love it! It is transfer-resistant, tear-proof, sweat-proof, looks flawless and feels like nothing is on your skin. Perfect for those who do not want the heaviness of most foundations. If you are choosing your own foundation look for one with a great color match, something made for your skin type for great wearability.
- To prime or not to prime: Primers are an amazing part of your everyday makeup routine that add longevity to makeup, but also help to fill pores and fine lines. Some also help to color correct. Some of the new BB or CC creams can be used in place of face primers and include your moisturizer and sun protection as well as a lovely added bonus. Eye primers are a must, especially on your wedding day. They will keep your shadow and liner in place just in case any tears may come.
- Perfect colors: Picking colors is not rocket science. I ask simple questions such as "What do you normally wear?" "What are your girls wearing?" "What color are your flowers?" Sometimes I do get a little wrinkle of the nose at the last one, but at times the flowers help me pick an appropriate lip color! If a bride usually wears soft neutral tones on her eyes or a soft smoky shade, that is what she should do on her wedding day. Keeping it looking "bridal" may mean softening up on the black liner or adding a softness to the smoky effect, but your wedding is not the time to try a completely new color palette from neutrals to greens or bright red lips when you have only ever worn gloss. Be sure to have both bronzer and blush to help enhance the color and contour of your face shape. Bronzer has come a long way and comes in many colors. There is one to match every skin tone, so make sure you have the right one to avoid the overdone look.
- False lashes: Yes please! For the photos you will thank me for this one. Even my most resistant clients end up loving them.
The rule to follow is always be you — and on your wedding day be the most glamorous version of yourself! Makeup should enhance the beauty you are and make your confidence soar. This is one of the most special days of your life, so own it!

American Horror Story 3: Title and Juicy Details Revealed!
Let the wild speculation begin! During the American Horror Story panel at PaleyFest on March 15, series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk let loose some of the gory details on the upcoming third season. Most intriguing is the title: American Horror Story: Coven. Something wicked this way comes!
We also got confirmation that shooting will take place in New Orleans, but not exclusively, as the story will take us to several of the "most haunted" cities in the United States. "America is a f***ed up place," joked Brad during the panel, which also formally introduced the newest cast member of the AHS Players: Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates.
Ryan says he pitched Kathy a "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" character and promised lots of scenes with Jessica Lange. Talk about a hard sell! Kathy was totally on board, telling the PaleyFest audience that she's very excited to go "head to head" with Jessica.
Kathy will also be reunited with her Six Feet Under co-star Frances Conroy, who has also been reupped for season 3, though we're not sure yet whether they'll share any scenes together.
So let's see: in addition to the usual cast of award winning scenery chewers , we've got a multi-location plot, possibly with witches and evil spirits? Honestly, after a serial killer who flays his victims, a creepy asylum, demonic possession, and aliens, that sounds down-right tame!
However, we won't underestimate Ryan Murphy just yet. He seems to take glee (pun intended) in topping himself every year. "I'd love to make this show forever," Ryan told the audience. Well, we could watch it forever. You know, so long as we have all the lights on.

Duke comes back from early deficit to win NCAA title
In the end, Duke played for a championship like it played its entire season.
The Blue Devils struggled early, falling behind by five goals just as they had started the season with four losses in six games.
Down, though, never proved out for this Duke men's lacrosse team.
With NCAA Tournament most outstanding player Brendan Fowler dominating face offs and a balanced offense scoring from left and right, the Blue Devils came back and overwhelmed No. 1 Syracuse 16-10 in the national championship game at Lincoln Financial Field.
"No one freaked out," Duke senior David Lawson said. "We didn't make any changes. We just kept doing our thing and we knew it would work."
It's the same approach Duke (16-5) took when it was 2-4 back in March and a national championship, to those outside of the Blue Devils locker room, seemed a distant dream.
Duke's senior class was part of the 2010 NCAA championships, the program's first. Having that experience meant not giving up on anything, ever.
"If you look seniors, at Jake Tripucka, David Lawson, Josh Offit, the guys that led us," Duke junior Josh Dionne said. "If you look into their eyes, you can tell that losing isn't an option. If you are tired they give you energy. If you are cramping, suddenly you are not cramping. I rode their wave and I couldn't be happier."
Syracuse scored the first five goals of the NCAA final on Monday and it certainly looked like the orange-clad fans among the crowd of 28,224 at the Philadelphia Eagles home stadium would leave happy.
Syracuse (16-4) led 4-0 after one quarter and 5-0 when Dylan Donahue scored his second goal 42 seconds into the second quarter.
Philadelphia native Jordan Wolf stemmed the Orange tide momentarily with Duke's first goal. But the Orange struck back a little more than a minute later when Donahue assisted on Scott Loy's goal for a 6-1 Syracuse lead.
But that marked the end of Syracuse's fun.
"We were just waiting to get our first goal," Lawson said. "We knew when we got that that we would get rolling."
With Fowler controlling 14 of 15 faceoffs in second and third quarters, including 13 in a row, the Blue Devils had a prime weapon in their comeback.
"I don't think I would want any other player at that X," Dionne said. "To be down five and to have someone who can get you the ball virtually on demand is pretty special. We don't take him for granted and I'm so thankful for all that he did."
Tripucka scored an unassisted goal with 11:05 left in the first half that began Duke's surge. The Blue Devils scored four unanswered goals to close the first half trailing 6-5.
Myles Jones, Dionne and Wolf added scores.
"The big stage, the big event got to us a little bit," Duke coach John Danowski said. "The guys were a little tight, a little nervous. But I think at halftime, getting it back to 6-5 helped everybody. We settled down at halftime and just continued to play the game."
Duke's run, which saw it outscore Syracuse 12-1, continued in the second half as the Blue Devils grabbed control of the game. Lawson's goal brought Duke even for the first time at 6-all.
Donahue scored his third goal of the game, with 4:28 left in the third quarter, giving the Orange a 7-6 lead.
But Lawson scored off a Tripucka assist to tie it again. With 2:01 left in the quarter, Offit's unassisted goal gave Duke a lead it would never relinquish.
The Blue Devils added a man-up goal from Dionne and an even-strength goal from Offit to lead 10-7 entering the fourth quarter.
"We just couldn't get the ball in the second half," Syracuse coach John Desko said. "I think we had it just a handful, a few times in the third and turned it over when we did have it. Just too much to ask. It's a powerful offensive team and to play defense so much, especially in the second half of this game, we were just asking too much of our guys."
Duke poured it on in the fourth quarter with Dionne, Christian Walsh and Tripucka scoring goals for a 13-7 lead.
The Orange scored twice to pull within 13-9. But Wolf completed his four-goal day with back-to-back goals, the last coming with 1:55 left, as Duke refused to open the door for an Orange comeback.
Duke celebrated on its sideline over the final minute and rushed on to the field in jubilation when the game ended.
"It's a dream come true," Dionne said. "People say you can't describe it and it's true. You can't. I'm so proud for all these seniors. I didn't want to go out any way else."
The seniors appreciated the effort as well, especially the heart the Blue Devils showed when things looked bleak during the season and on Monday.
"This was our goal was to go out this way," Lawson said. "A lot of teams have that goal. But for a lot of people that's not a tangible goal. For us it is and we made it happen."

"The quality of this card was exceptional. The picture I chose to use was one I took while on vacation and it looks so great on the front of the card that everyone who has viewed it so far thinks it "came with the card" as a default photo. The crease in the card stock is perfectly positioned so that all edges and corners of the card line up. One would think that all card makers/printers ensure that is the case but I have ordered from other companies who delivered misaligned folded cards. I Love Tiny Prints and am very happy with my cards (again) this year!"

I don't get it. Is she saying Sammy had dirty feet?14. If You Wear Sandals, Your Feet Will Look Like They Belong To Sammy Davis Jr. The floor is real real dirty. So if you wear sandals, be prepared to not be able to look your feet in the eye for a good few days given their filth factor.
also, her comment:
you mean the fucking ground? outside? yeah it's dirty, bitch. the earth is fucking made out of dirt. what the fuck do you expect?The floor is real real dirty.
Wat. Has she ever seen Fat Albert? The person she is referencing is Fat Albert's friend Dumb Donald.6. Leonardo DiCaprio Is Hot Fat Albert. I spotted him at the Neon Carnival on Saturday night (along with about a million other famous people, but Leo trumps all.) He had his hat pulled so far down over his eyes that he basically had no eyes. He should consider cutting two eyeholes in his hat, kind of like a Hot Fat Albert.

I have a nice long response that my employer paid me to write yesterday (unbeknownst to them). I can't get into the comments area at work for some reason, so I need to send it home and remember to post it this weekend.
The person who wrote this is trolling you guys hard.
She's writing in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, people. She's using a ton of sarcasm and embellishment on a blog for a show that's littered with sarcasm and embellishment. A lot of it isn't all that funny, but I can't believe some of you think this is serious.

I still wish there was more time between his last fight and fighting JDS. He was on his way to being in much better shape before the injury and now I don't think there will be the time, especially with all these travel issues.
I agree the first round shows JDS striking and using takedowns. But after that, it can be anything he wants. I don't think Hunt will have the gastank to go into the second. Which makes me sad because I'm a huge fan and pulling for him to get the title shot :(

An elongate actuator is anchored at one end to the wafer substrate to be in electrical contact with the drive circuitry layers. A closure member is mounted on an opposite end of the elongate actuator. The actuator is configured to receive an electrical signal from the drive circuitry layer to displace the closure member between a closed position in which the closure member covers the fluid supply opening and ink is inhibited from flowing through the fluid supply channel and an open position. The elongate actuator is shaped so that, in a rest condition, the actuator encloses an arc. The actuator includes a heating portion that is capable of being heated on receipt of the electrical signal to expand. The heating portion is configured so that, when the portion is heated, the resultant expansion of the portion causes the actuator to straighten at least partially and a subsequent cooling of the portion causes the actuator to return to its rest condition thereby displacing the closure between the closed and open positions.
1. An elongate actuator for moving a closure member in a micro-electromechanical valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid through a fluid supply channel, the channel being defined by a wafer substrate and drive circuitry layers positioned on the wafer substrate and terminating at a fluid supply opening, the actuator having a first end anchored to the wafer substrate so as to be in electrical contact with al least one of the drive circuitry layers and a second end connected to the closure member so as to move it between a closed position, in which the closure member covers the fluid supply opening and ink is inhibited from flowing through the fluid supply channel, and an open position, in which the fluid supply opening is opened to allow the ink to flow through the fluid supply channel, wherein
at least a portion of the actuator, in a rest condition, has an arcuate shape and is configured to be heated, upon receiving an electrical current from the drive circuitry, such that when the portion is heated it expands and causes the actuator to straighten sufficiently to displace the closure member from closed to an open position; and a subsequent cooling of the portion, after the current is discontinued, causes the actuator to return to its rest condition returning the closure to the closed position.

The following Australian provisional patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference. For the purposes of location and identification, US patents/patent applications identified by their US patent/patent application serial numbers are listed alongside the Australian applications from which the US patents/patent applications claim the right of priority.
Not applicable.
The present invention relates to a micro-electromechanical valve assembly.
Many different types of printing have been invented, a large number of which are presently in use. The known forms of print have a variety of methods for marking the print media with a relevant marking media. Commonly used forms of printing include offset printing, laser printing and copying devices, dot matrix type impact printers, thermal paper printers, film recorders, thermal wax printers, dye sublimation printers and ink jet printers both of the drop on demand and continuous flow type. Each type of printer has its own advantages and problems when considering cost, speed, quality, reliability, simplicity of construction and operation etc.
In recent years, the field of ink jet printing, wherein each individual pixel of ink is derived from one or more ink nozzles has become increasingly popular primarily due to its inexpensive and versatile nature.
Many different techniques on ink jet printing have been invented For a survey of the field, reference is made to an article by J Moore, "Non-Impact Printing: Introduction and Historical Perspective", Output Hard Copy Devices, Editors R Dubeck and S Sherr, pages 207–220 (1988).
Ink Jet printers themselves come in many different types. The utilisation of a continuous stream ink in ink jet printing appears to date back to at least 1929 wherein U.S. Pat. No. 1,941,001 by Hansell discloses a simple form of continuous stream electrostatic ink jet printing.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,596,275 by Sweet also discloses a process of a continuous ink jet printing including the step wherein the ink jet stream is modulated by a high frequency electro-static field so as to cause drop separation. This technique is still used by several manufacturers including Elmjet and Scitex (see also U.S. Pat. No. 3,373,437 by Sweet et al)
Piezoelectric ink jet printers are also one form of commonly used ink jet printing device. Piezoelectric systems are disclosed by Kyser et. al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,946,398 (1970) which discloses a diaphragm mode of operation, by Zolten in U.S. Pat. No. 3,683,212 (1970) which discloses a squeeze mode of operation of a piezoelectric crystal, Stemme in U.S. Pat. No. 3,747,120 (1972) which discloses a bend mode of piezoelectric operation, Howkins in U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,601 which discloses a piezoelectric push mode actuation of the ink jet stream and Fischbeck in U.S. Pat. No. 4,584,590 which discloses a shear mode type of piezoelectric transducer element
Recently, thermal ink jet printing has become an extremely popular form of ink jet printing. The ink jet printing techniques include those disclosed by Endo et al in GB 2007162 (1979) and Vaught et al in U.S. Pat. No. 4,490,728. Both the aforementioned references disclose ink jet printing techniques rely upon the activation of an electrothermal actuator which results in the creation of a bubble in a constricted space, such as a nozzle, which thereby causes the ejection of ink from an aperture connected to the confined space onto a relevant print media. Printing devices using the electrothermal actuator are manufactured by manufacturers such as Canon and Hewlett Packard.
As can be seen from the foregoing, many different types of printing technologies are available. Ideally, a printing technology should have a number of desirable attributes. These include inexpensive construction and operation, high speed operation, safe and continuous long term operation etc. Each technology may have its own advantages and disadvantages in the areas of cost, speed, quality, reliability, power usage, simplicity of construction operation, durability and consumables.
The valve assembly that forms the basis of this invention facilitates the achievement of a number of the desirable attributes listed above.
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an elongate actuator for moving a closure member in a micro-electromechanical valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid through a fluid supply channel, the channel being defined by a wafer substrate and drive circuitry layers positioned on the wafer substrate and terminating at a fluid supply opening, the actuator having a first end anchored to the wafer substrate so as to be in electrical contact with al least one of the drive circuitry layers and a second end connected to the closure member so as to move it between a closed position, in which the closure member covers the fluid supply opening and ink is inhibited from flowing through the fluid supply channel, and an open position, in which the fluid supply opening is opened to allow the ink to flow through the fluid supply channel, wherein
at least a portion of the actuator, in a rest condition, has an arcuate shape and is configured to be heated, upon receiving an electrical current from the drive circuitry, such that when the portion is heated it expands and causes the actuator to straighten sufficiently to displace the closure member from closed to an open position; and a subsequent cooling of the portion, after the current is discontinued, causes the actuator to return to its rest condition returning the closure to the closed position.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a micro-electromechanical valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid through a fluid supply channel defined in a wafer substrate and drive circuitry layers positioned on the wafer substrate and terminating at a fluid supply opening, the valve assembly comprising;
an elongate actuator that is anchored at one end to the wafer substrate to be in electrical contact with the drive circuitry layers; and
a closure member that is mounted on an opposite end of the elongate actuator, the actuator being configured to receive an electrical signal from the drive circuitry layer to displace the closure member between a closed position in which the closure member covers the fluid supply opening and ink is inhibited from flowing through the fluid supply channel and an open position, wherein
the elongate actuator is shaped so that, in a rest condition, the actuator encloses an arc, the actuator including a heating portion that is capable of being heated on receipt of the electrical signal to expand, the heating portion being configured so that, when the portion is heated, the resultant expansion of the portion causes the actuator to straighten at least partially and a subsequent cooling of the portion causes the actuator to return to its rest condition thereby displacing the closure between the closed and open positions.
Each actuator may include a body portion that is of a resiliently flexible material having a coefficient of thermal expansion which is such that the material can expand to perform work when heated, the heating portion being positioned in the body portion and defining a heating circuit of a suitable metal.
The heating circuit may include a heater and a return trace, the heater being positioned proximate an inside edge of the body portion and the return trace being positioned outwardly of the heater, so that an inside region of the body portion is heated to a relatively greater extent with the result that the inside region expands to a greater extent than a remainder of the body portion.
A serpentine length of said suitable material may define the heater.
The body portion may be of polytetrafluoroethylene and the heating circuit may be of copper
Each actuator may define a coil that partially uncoils when the heating portion expands.
In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ink jet nozzle comprising an ink ejection port for the ejection of ink, an ink supply with an oscillating ink pressure interconnected to the ink ejection port, a shutter mechanism interconnected between the ink supply and the ink ejection port, which blocks the ink ejection port, and an actuator mechanism for moving the shutter mechanism on demand away from the ink ejection port so as to allow for the ejection of ink on demand from the ink ejection port.
In another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method of operating an ink jet printhead that includes a plurality of nozzle arrangements and an ink reservoir, each nozzle arrangement having:
Further, the actuator preferably comprises a thermal actuator which is activated by the heating of one side of the actuator. Preferably the actuator has a coiled form and is uncoiled upon heating. The actuator includes a serpentine heater element encased in a material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The serpentine heater concertinas upon heating. Advantageously, the actuator includes a thick return trace for the serpentine heater element. The material in which the serpentine heater element is encased comprises polytetrafluoroethylene. The actuator is formed within a nozzle chamber which is formed on a silicon wafer and ink is supplied to the ejection port through channels etched through the silicon wafer.
Notwithstanding any other forms which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
In the preferred embodiment, an oscillating ink reservoir pressure is used to eject ink from ejection nozzles. Each nozzle has an associated shutter which normally blocks the nozzle. The shutter is moved away from the nozzle by an actuator whenever an ink drop is to be fired.
Turning initially to
A bottom nitride layer 16 is constructed on top of the CMOS layer 13 so as to cover, protect and passivate the CMOS layer 13 from subsequent etching processes. Subsequently, there is provided a copper heater layer 18 which is sandwiched between two polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layers 19,20. The copper layer 18 is connected to lower CMOS layer 13 through vias 25,26. The copper layer 18 and PTFE layers 19,20 are encapsulated within nitride borders e.g. 28 and nitride top layer 29 which includes an ink ejection port 30 in addition to a number of sacrificial etched access holes 32 which are of a smaller dimension than the ejection port 30 and are provided for allowing access of a etchant to lower sacrificial layers thereby allowing the use of the etchant in the construction of layers, 18,19,20 and 28.
Turning now to
The ports 30 are in communication with ink chambers which contain the actuators 35. These chambers are connected to ink supply channels 15 which are etched through the silicon wafer. The ink supply channels 15 are substantially wider than the ports 30, to reduce the fluidic resistance to the ink pressure wave. The ink channels 15 are connected to an ink reservoir. An ultrasonic transducer (for example, a piezoelectric transducer) is positioned in the reservoir. The transducer oscillates the ink pressure at approximately 100 KHz. The ink pressure oscillation is sufficient that ink drops would be ejected from the nozzle were it not blocked by the shutter 31.
The shutters are moved by a thermoelastic actuator 35. The actuators are formed as a coiled serpentine copper heater 23 embedded in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 19/20. PTFE has a very high coefficient of thermal expansion (approximately 770�10−6). The current return trace 22 from the heater 23 is also embedded in the PTFE actuator 35, the current return trace 22 is made wider than the heater trace 23 and is not serpentine. Therefore, it does not heat the PTFE as much as the serpentine heater 23 does. The serpentine heater 23 is positioned along the inside edge of the PTFE coil, and the return trace is positioned on the outside edge. When actuated, the inside edge becomes hotter than the outside edge, and expands more. This results in the actuator 35 uncoiling.
The heater layer 23 is etched in a serpentine manner both to increase its resistance, and to reduce its effective tensile strength along the length of the actuator. This is so that the low thermal expansion of the copper does not prevent the actuator from expanding according to the high thermal expansion characteristics of the PTFE.
By varying the power applied to the actuator 35, the shutter 31 can be positioned between the fully on and fully off positions. This may be used to vary the volume of the ejected drop. Drop volume control may be used either to implement a degree of continuous tone operation, to regulate the drop volume, or both.
When data signals distributed on the printhead indicate that a particular nozzle is turned on, the actuator 35 is energized, which moves the shutter 31 so that it is not blocking the ink chamber. The peak of the ink pressure variation causes the ink to be squirted out of the nozzle 30. As the ink pressure goes negative, ink is drawn back into the nozzle, causing drop break-off. The shutter 31 is kept open until the nozzle is refilled on the next positive pressure cycle. It is then shut to prevent the ink from being withdrawn from the nozzle on the next negative pressure cycle.
Each drop ejection takes two ink pressure cycles. Preferably half of the nozzles 10 should eject drops in one phase, and the other half of the nozzles should eject drops in the other phase. This minimises the pressure variations which occur due to a large number of nozzles being actuated.
Referring to
Each chamber 58 is in communication with an ink reservoir 60 via an ink supply channel 36. An ultrasonic transducer in the form of a piezoelectric transducer 62 is arranged n the ink reservoir 60.
As described above, each ink drop ejection takes two ink pressure cycles. The two ink pressure cycles are referred to as a phase. Half of the nozzles 10 should eject ink drops 64 (
Consequently, as shown in
In a first pressure cycle, the transducer 62 is displaced in the direction of arrows 66 imparting positive pressure to the ink 57 in the reservoir 60 and, via the channels 36, the chambers 58 of the nozzles 10. Due to the fact that the shutter 31.2 of the nozzle 10.2 is open, ink in the ink ejection port 30.2 bulges outwardly as shown by the meniscus 68. After a predetermined interval, the transducer 62 reverses direction to move in the direction of arrows 70 as shown in
In the second positive pressure cycle, as shown in
Before the second negative pressure cycle, as shown in
The amplitude of the ultrasonic transducer can be altered in response to the viscosity of the ink (which is typically affected by temperature), and the number of drops which are to be ejected in the current cycle. This amplitude adjustment can be used to maintain consistent drop size in varying environmental conditions.
The drop firing rate can be around 50 KHz. The ink jet head is suitable for fabrication as a monolithic page wide printhead.
Returning again to
A thin sacrificial glass layer is then laid down on top of nitride layers 16 followed by a first PTFE layer 19, the copper layer 18 and a second PTFE layer 20. Then a sacrificial glass layer is formed on top of the PTFE layer and etched to a depth of a few microns to form the nitride border regions 28. Next the top layer 29 is laid down over the sacrificial layer using the mask for forming the various holes including the processing step of forming the rim 40 on nozzle 30. The sacrificial glass is then dissolved away and the channel 15 formed through the wafer by means of utilisation of high density low pressure plasma etching such as that available from Surface Technology Systems.
One form of detailed manufacturing process which can be used to fabricate monolithic ink jet printheads operating in accordance with the principles taught by the present embodiment can proceed using the following steps:
1. Using a double sided polished wafer 12, complete drive transistors, data distribution, and timing circuits using a 0.5 micron, one poly, 2 metal CMOS process 13. The wafer is passivated with 0.1 microns of silicon nitride 16. This step is shown in
2. Etch nitride and oxide down to silicon using Mask 1. This mask defines the nozzle inlet below the shutter. This step is shown in
3. Deposit 3 microns of sacrificial material 50 (e.g. aluminum or photosensitive polyimide)
4. Planarize the sacrificial layer to a thickness of 1 micron over nitride. This step is shown in
5. Etch the sacrificial layer using Mask 2. This mask defines the actuator anchor point 51. This step is shown in
6. Deposit 1 micron of PTFE 52.
7. Etch the PTFE, nitride, and oxide down to second level metal using Mask 3. This mask defines the heater vias 25, 26. This step is shown in
8. Deposit the heater 53, which is a 1 micron layer of a conductor with a low Young's modulus, for example aluminum or gold.
9. Pattern the conductor using Mask 4. This step is shown in
10. Deposit 1 micron of PTFE 54.
11. Etch the PTFE down to the sacrificial layer using Mask 5. This mask defines the actuator and shutter This step is shown in
12. Wafer probe. All electrical connections are complete at this point, bond pads are accessible, and the chips are not yet separated.
13. Deposit 3 microns of sacrificial material 55. Planarize using CMP
14. Etch the sacrificial material using Mask 6. This mask defines the nozzle chamber wall 28. This step is shown in
15. Deposit 3 microns of PECVD glass 56.
16. Etch to a depth of (approx.) 1 micron using Mask 7. This mask defines the nozzle rim 40. This step is shown in
17. Etch down to the sacrificial layer using Mask 6. This mask defines the roof of the nozzle chamber, the nozzle 30, and the sacrificial etch access holes 32. This step is shown in
18. Back-etch completely through the silicon wafer (with, for example, an ASE Advanced Silicon Etcher from Surface Technology Systems) using Mask 7. This mask defines the ink inlets 15 which are etched through the wafer. The wafer is also diced by this etch. This step is shown in
19. Etch the sacrificial material. The nozzle chambers are cleared, the actuators freed, and the chips are separated by this etch. This step is shown in
20. Mount the printheads in their packaging, which may be a molded plastic former incorporating ink channels which supply the appropriate color ink to the ink inlets at the back of the wafer. The package also includes a piezoelectric actuator attached to the rear of the ink channels. The piezoelectric actuator provides the oscillating ink pressure required for the ink jet operation.
21. Connect the printheads to their interconnect systems. For a low profile connection with minimum disruption of airflow, TAB may be used. Wire bonding may also be used if the printer is to be operated with sufficient clearance to the paper.
22. Hydrophobize the front surface of the printheads.
23. Fill the completed printheads with ink 57 and test them. A filled nozzle is shown in
It would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the present invention as shown in the preferred embodiment without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiment is, therefore, to be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
The presently disclosed ink jet printing technology is potentially suited to a wide range of printing systems including: colour and monochrome office printers, short run digital printers, high speed digital printers, offset press supplemental printers, low cost scanning printers, high speed pagewidth printers, notebook computers with inbuilt pagewidth printers, portable colour and monochrome printers, colour and monochrome copiers, colour and monochrome facsimile machines, combined printer, facsimile and copying machines, label printers, large format plotters, photograph copiers, printers for digital photographic 'minilabs', video printers, PhotoCD printers, portable printers for PDAs, wallpaper printers, indoor sign printers, billboard printers, fabric printers, camera printers and fault tolerant commercial printer arrays.
Ink Jet Technologies
The embodiments of the invention use an ink jet printer type device. Of course many different devices could be used. However presently popular ink jet printing technologies are unlikely to be suitable.
The most significant problem with thermal ink jet is power consumption. This is approximately 100 times that required for high speed, and stems from the energy-inefficient means of drop ejection. This involves the rapid boiling of water to produce a vapor bubble which expels the ink. Water has a very high heat capacity, and must be superheated in thermal ink jet applications. This leads to an efficiency of around 0.02%, from electricity input to drop momentum (and increased surface area) out.
The most significant problem with piezoelectric ink jet is size and cost. Piezoelectric crystals have a very small deflection at reasonable drive voltages, and therefore require a large area for each nozzle. Also, each piezoelectric actuator must be connected to its drive circuit on a separate substrate. This is not a significant problem at the current limit of around 300 nozzles per printhead, but is a major impediment to the fabrication of pagewidth printheads with 19,200 nozzles.
Ideally, the ink jet technologies used meet the stringent requirements of in-camera digital color printing and other high quality, high speed, low cost printing applications. To meet the requirements of digital photography, new ink jet technologies have been created. The target features include:
low power (less than 10 Watts)
high resolution capability (1,600 dpi or more)
photographic quality output
low manufacturing cost
small size (pagewidth times minimum cross section)
high speed (<2 seconds per page).
All of these features can be met or exceeded by the ink jet systems described below with differing levels of difficulty. Forty-five different ink jet technologies have been developed by the Assignee to give a wide range of choices for high volume manufacture. These technologies form part of separate applications assigned to the present Assignee as set out in the table under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
The ink jet designs shown here are suitable for a wide range of digital printing systems, from battery powered one-time use digital cameras, through to desktop and network printers, and through to commercial printing systems.
For ease of manufacture using standard process equipment, the printhead is designed to be a monolithic 0.5 micron CMOS chip with MEMS post processing. For color photographic applications, the printhead is 100 mm long, with a width which depends upon the ink jet type. The smallest printhead designed is IJ38, which is 0.35 mm wide, giving a chip area of 35 square mm. The printheads each contain 19,200 nozzles plus data and control circuitry.
Ink is supplied to the back of the printhead by injection molded plastic ink channels. The molding requires 50 micron features, which can be created using a lithographically micromachined insert in a standard injection molding tool. Ink flows through holes etched through the wafer to the nozzle chambers fabricated on the front surface of the wafer. The printhead is connected to the camera circuitry by tape automated bonding.
Tables of Drop-on-Demand Ink Jets
Eleven important characteristics of the fundamental operation of individual ink jet nozzles have been identified. These characteristics are largely orthogonal, and so can be elucidated as an eleven dimensional matrix. Most of the eleven axes of this matrix include entries developed by the present assignee.
The following tables form the axes of an eleven dimensional table of ink jet types.
Actuator mechanism (18 types)
Basic operation mode (7 types)
Auxiliary mechanism (8 types)
Actuator amplification or modification method (17 types)
Actuator motion (19 types)
Nozzle refill method (4 types)
Method of restricting back-flow through inlet (10 types)
Nozzle clearing method (9 types)
Nozzle plate construction (9 types)
Drop ejection direction (5 types)
Ink type (7 types)
The complete eleven dimensional table represented by these axes contains 36.9 billion possible configurations of ink jet nozzle. While not all of the possible combinations result in a viable ink jet technology, many million configurations are viable. It is clearly impractical to elucidate all of the possible configurations. Instead, certain ink jet types have been investigated in detail. These are designated IJ01 to IJ45 above which matches the docket numbers in the table under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
Other ink jet configurations can readily be derived from these forty-five examples by substituting alternative configurations along one or more of the 11 axes. Most of the IJ01 to IJ45 examples can be made into ink jet printheads with characteristics superior to any currently available ink jet technology.
Where there are prior art examples known to the inventor, one or more of these examples are listed in the examples column of the tables below. The IJ01 to IJ45 series are also listed in the examples column. In some cases, a print technology may be listed more than once in a table, where it shares characteristics with more than one entry.
Suitable applications for the ink jet technologies include: Home printers, Office network printers, Short run digital printers, Commercial print systems, Fabric printers, Pocket printers, Internet WWW printers, Video printers, Medical imaging, Wide format printers, Notebook PC printers, Fax machines, Industrial printing systems, Photocopiers, Photographic minilabs etc.
The information associated with the aforementioned 11 dimensional matrix are set out in the following tables.

About Me Competitive Cyclist
See all my reviews
Bought this to build a road bike for my 13 year old son from other left over parts. It is a solid fork that rides well and is a reasonable weight. A good fork for all but the most performance minded. It does not mention it in the description, but mine came with a star nut (The headset did too, so I now have 2 extras after ordering one). Cutting an aluminum steerer is easy with a metal blade hack saw, but I strongly suggest that you let a shop install the star nut and the bottom piece of the headset. Those two item are very difficult without specialty tools.

It seems all bicycle upgrades are easy to install. From cranks to forks, they are all alot easier and this fork was very easy. Takes maybe 20 minutes with the right tools. All the faces were clean. The stay safety tabs are pretty big and i'm not used to having any but I was able to grinde them off without any problem. Exceptional fork.

"Dress up your fixie"
By Q-dog the cyclist
from Northern California
I recently bought a fixed gear bike 54cm CMS frame painted flat silver. The bike looked good stock but was intrigued by the look of the carbon nashbar fork, clean, simple and basically the same geometry as my stock fork plus the price was nice compared to "name brand" forks. Not only is my bike lighter but seems more responsive and the road vibrations are minimized to almost zero. I had my LBS install it because it required some cutting and I didn't want to make a mistake and ruin a nice component. Wow! I must say that the fork looks like it was made for this bike. Most die hard fixie riders I bump into like what I've done, but do ask me if the fork is strong enough for "tricks" etc. I myself don't do "tricks" because I use the bike for training, commuting and long rides. Not sure if I would recommend this fork for that purpose but if you want to upgrade your "fixie" so it will handle more like an expensive road bike then by all means this is highly recommended.
