August 1963Glamour's first "black bar" appears, adding humor to the Dos and Don'ts section. The offenses include curlers in public, overly teased hair, "bulgy bangs" and (the horror!) bad posture.
August 1968When Glamour put Katiti Kironde on its cover, she became the first black cover girl to appear on a major women's magazine. Readers cheered and made it the best-selling issue Glamour had ever published.

State Bank and Trust Company is sponsoring Ashley's performance at the Relay, and Durden competed and won the Star of Gray contest for the opportunity to be his opening act.
According to information found on Ashley's website, he was a finalist on season four of Nashville Star, where he set himself apart from a sea of 30,000 hopefuls. He has been named one of the top acts on the SEC college circuit, and has been recognized as the Regional Act of the Year winner and Country Male Artist of the Year nominee at The Georgia Country Music Awards.
Ten contestants competed March 16 to open for Ashley. The Star of Gray contest was the idea of LeAnne Weathers, State Bank assistant vice president and the assistant branch manager for Gray.
Weathers is a member of the bank's Relay team, and she is the chairman of the entertainment committee. She said she went to corporate and asked if they would donate the money to get Ashley to come and perform at the Relay For Life, and they said yes.

Foxconn reportedly ramping up for iPhone 5S production
iMore previously learned that Apple was targeting an August time frame for the next-generation iPhone 5s, and while that may or may not include more recently rumored software scheduling issues, it does sound like the general time frame is still accurate enough for Foxconn to start ramping up for production. Lorraine Luk of the Wall Street Journal writes:
[Foxconn] said Monday it has added about 10,000 assembly-line workers per week in Zhengzhou, its major production facility for iPhones, since the last week of March.
"We have been very busy recently as we will start mass-producing the new iPhone soon," said a Zhengzhou-based executive who has direct knowledge of production plans.
If Apple sticks to its 2009 and 2011 pattern of keeping the same casing two years in a row and releasing an S-class update, then presumably it'll be an easier ramp up than last year where the manufacturing technology needed to produce the insanely redesigned iPhone 5 led to the usual transitional hiccups and supply constraints.
If that's the case, then software and services, namely iOS 7, and iCloud could be the major factors in determining the final release window for Apple next iPhone.
To date, every new iPhone has shipped with a new version of iOS, and the iPhone 4S shipped with iCloud. That coupling makes for greater product impact, but also greater dependency.
Hopefully, if hardware is ramping up, that's a sign everything else is also starting to line back up.

Foxconn reportedly ramping up for iPhone 5S production
An August release would sit nice with me as i will be due an upgrade, But i am really hoping for a design refresh of the phone itself and if it is going to be a 5s then i cannot see that happening.
And because i already own the 5 i think i may have to just wait it out for the next proper refresh.
I will still have ios 7 to look forward to though.
I'm getting excited. Can't wait for some details!

Valiant for Truth
Posts by: S. M. Baugh
Linguists have provided significant help to biblical scholars, not the least in the area of lexical semantics. "Lexical" here means words and phrases and "semantics" deals with meanings, so that "lexical semantics" is the study of how words mean. One area of particular help is that linguists posit that individual words often have what is called a "semantic range," which will be explained and illustrated below.
Last time, I mentioned that the great Aaronic benediction in Num. 6:22-27 concludes with the wonderful line: "So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them." The notion of God putting his name upon someone is an interesting one. One passage that has always stuck with me in this connection is in Exodus: "Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him" (Exod. 23:20-21; ESV; emphasis added). Having God's name is really something!
I once preached through the book of Hebrews. When I arrived at the end of the book I was very excited about preaching on the benediction in Heb. 13:20-21. I love benedictions. If you study the 'mother of all benedictions,' that of Aaron in Num. 6:22-27, you find that God views the benediction not as a prayer...
Some of my favorite theological books include . . .
We've already looked at two things that will be further illustrated here. First is that we have to be very careful with the whole notion of a "literal" translation. Literal does not necessarily mean more accurate. The other thing is the difference between a gloss (i.e., an English word substitute for a Greek word) and description of a word's meanings. Both of these will come into play when we examine the use of the phrase "do truth" in 1 John 1:6.

Product description
In this candid and gripping account, President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions that shaped his presidency and personal life. George W. Bush served as president of the United States during eight of the most consequential years in American history. The decisions that reached his desk impacted people around the world and defined the times in which we live. " Decision Points "brings readers inside the Texas governor's mansion on the night of the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the harrowing hours after the attacks of September 11, 2001, into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq, and behind the scenes at the White House for many other historic presidential decisions. For the first time, we learn President Bush's perspective and insights on: His decision to quit drinking and the journey that led him to his Christian faith The selection of the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state, Supreme Court justices, and other key officials His relationships with his wife, daughters, and parents, including heartfelt letters between the president and his father on the eve of the Iraq War His administration's counterterrorism programs, including the CIA's enhanced interrogations and the Terrorist Surveillance Program Why the worst moment of the presidency was hearing accusations that race played a role in the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, and a critical assessment of what he would have done differently during the crisis His deep concern that Iraq could turn into a defeat costlier than Vietnam, and how he decided to defy public opinion by ordering the troop surge His legislative achievements, including tax cuts and reforming education and Medicare, as well as his setbacks, including Social Security and immigration reform The relationships he forged with other world leaders, including an honest assessment of those he did and didn't trust Why the failure to bring Osama bin Laden to justice ranks as his biggest disappointment and why his success in denying the terrorists their fondest wish--attacking America again--is among his proudest achievements A groundbreaking new brand of presidential memoir, "Decision Points "will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change perspectives on eight remarkable years in American history--and on the man at the center of events. "From the Hardcover edition."

Garden Tap - Tap Fitting, Metal, circa 1950 Reg. No: HT 21621
- Summary:
- This Garden Tap Fitting was acquired as part of the Museum Victoria 'Curator for a Day project', undertaken in October 2007. The attachment has no clear marking or branding. However, it is believed by the donor to be a tap fitting from a domestic water tank. It is believed also to roughly date from the 1950s and therefore thought significant as an early example of water saving in the domestic context.
The 'Curator for a Day project' was a collaboration between the Williamstown Environmental Neighbourhood Cluster and Museum Victoria's Water Smart Home project. Students were required to nominate objects relating to water conservation and changing water behaviour for inclusion in the Museum's Water Smart Home collection.
The Williamstown Neighbourhood Cluster is made up of Williamstown High School, Williamstown North Primary School, Williamstown Primary School and Spotswood Primary School. The cluster aims to develop a model for environmental education through active learning opportunities through local community partnerships. Students research, develop understanding and actively engage in environmental projects within their neighbourhood.
- Description:
- This Garden Tap Fitting is metal and covered with flecks of paint, rust and deposits.
It has a standard rotating tap handle, a spout and a screw attachment whereby the tap can be affixed to the water tank.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Caitlyn Dyer, 2007

Wish I still worked for Amtrak, for many reasons...
I was just thinking about you and your insider info on train travel. Can coordinating schedules even be done without extra expense and heartache? Is it too impractical?
Of course we have to wait to see for sure when it's going to happen but I was wondering how we could pull off matching train stuff and words..... I don't even know what I am saying LOL.
Lord bless me I mean well.
Patricia, I worked in the Engineering Dept not directly on the transit side. I just drew 'em.
But yes, I do know of instances where groups of people traveled together to attend staff meetings and things of that nature. (I've done it) and hell, it's fun.
Mr. Joe Biden would take himself and staff to DC from Delaware all the time before he was VP. Same with sports teams. You can rent out an entire car. or more.
I will get on it for more details. Promise.
I wish I could just draw a train
I was going to say something stupid about "pulling" a train...then realized how way the hell out of proportion THAT would get...ummmmmmm blown, si I'll simply retire to the sleeping car and pull the covers over me head...
Thanks for the hearty laugh in my morning coffee Scott, you bad boy.
The poll is officially closed and we have a date! So round up your hobs and polish your nobs, start making plans and quit your jobs.... not really, don't quit your jobs. I should get my poetic license pulled for that one. We have chosen the weekend of July 19th, 2013.
My wife thinks we should drive so we can see the sites along the way, especially Washington, DC. 1400 miles from Birmingham to Bangor. At least I have a year to try to overrule her. I'd rather get on a plane on Wednesday morning and have dinner at the place in Bangor that has the weekly classic car shows.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Workout Boy Does the job at a good price So far so good. The parachute burns the legs by providing strong resistance. The belt fits well, but could be more easily adjustable.

I've watched The Colbert Report countless times, but not until the wedding episode did I truly appreciate Colbert's humor and sense of comedy, delivered with grace and humbleness, with no taste of meanness. This host loves and appreciates what he is doing, and he is right good at it. Read more

Only two fights into his Octagon career (both wins), the competition for Conor will only get stiffer, and that's when the mixed martial arts (MMA) world will truly find out if the "Irish guy" -- as Aldo called him -- can back up all of the fire he's been spewing.
"The Irish guy? I'm always watching every featherweight that fights in the UFC because we can eventually fight in the future. He's a great fighter. He's starting now, but he is already saying some polemical things. It's part of the business. The (talking) put him on the map, so now he will have to show everything he has talked about. It's part of the business. He hasn't spoken my name, he only talked about the guys below me in the division. It's his personality. If he talks, he knows what he's doing. Let's see in the future when he fights more if he can back it up."

Former Gov. Mark Sanford won the GOP runoff tonight for the 1st Congressional District by a 57-43 margin over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results.
Go to postandcourier.com/first-district for additional coverage.
Sanford now faces five more weeks campaigning before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to make for an unusually competitive contest.
As he waited for Sanford to speak former Berkeley GOP Chair Tim Callanan said, "The toughest race out of all these is coming up."
After Sanford thanked supporters, family and his fiancee Maria Belen Chapur — who made a surprise appearance Tuesday night — he began sounding out themes that separate him from Colbert Busch.
Those include: whether health care should be predominantly government's role or based on free market principles; whether the National Labor Relations Board should decide if Boeing can build jobs in South Carolina; and whether Washington, D.C. will get its financial house in order.
"If you go into a general elections, I think there are some real contrasts that don't exist in a primary," he said.
Colbert Busch released her own statement Tuesday, saying Sanford "simply has the wrong values for our community."

Whether building a library in Africa or assisting midwives in
Guatemala, outreach is an essential part of a USF education, so
essential that the university makes service a required part of
undergraduate education.
Yet USF's efforts are not always a
continent away. Many focus on needs in the Bay Area. As Corey Cook,
assistant professor of politics and director of USF's Leo T. McCarthy
Center for Public Service and the Common Good, puts it, not only does
the university have a responsibility to educate students to be men and
women for others, but it also has a responsibility to address social
justice issues right here in its back yard.
So active is USF in the
community, that it has been named to the President's Higher Education
Community Service Honor Roll for the fourth straight year,
demonstrating USF students' exemplary service on issues ranging from
poverty, and homelessness, to environmental justice.
Following are portraits of outreach efforts by USF students in the Bay Area.
When Corey Cook teaches students about housing policy and homelessness, he's not content to have them simply read about the issues. He wants them to get out into neighborhoods and experience the challenges firsthand.
That means assisting with a variety of housing and homeless-related activities at various San Francisco-based organizations—from doing intake at homeless shelters to working with nonprofit housing development organizations to advocating for changes in housing and homeless policies.
"Students get practical experience that absolutely augments what they learn in class," said Cook, assistant professor of politics. "It really gives life to the material that you wouldn't get otherwise. It gives them a more nuanced view than just me lecturing about the issues."
Junior politics major Kimberly Kane, for example, worked with Glide Foundation in the Tenderloin last year to fulfill the service-learning requirement of USF's core curriculum. At the request of the organization, she and two other students assessed and analyzed San Francisco's 10-year plan to abolish chronic homelessness to help Glide determine where to place its priorities.
"These are questions that we want to be able to ask, but did not have the capacity to do ourselves," said James Lin, Glide's manager of global ministries and organizational integration. "We're too busy providing the services we provide to sit back and spend this level of energy on these incredibly important questions. It's tough for us, so the ability for USF students to step in is a particularly good match."
Additionally, Kane spent about 40 hours over the course of the semester helping with Glide's after school program. There, she helped children with homework, accompanied them on outings to the park, and generally served as a mentor to the children, all of whom were from low-income families. She didn't realize what an impact she was having until she returned after a two-week absence and was greeted with comments like, "Where were you? I missed you."
"It's an hour out of your day, but to a little kid who doesn't have someone helping them with homework or their parents are working two jobs, an hour of your time really makes such a difference," Kane said. "It was probably the most amazing experience I've had since I've been at USF. I felt like I was actually making a difference."
If USF master's student Sheena Sattarpour needs reminding of the impact she's having as the only counselor at Holy Angels School in Colma, she thinks of the client she began working with at the beginning of the school year. The girl, a good student, was unhappy with her grades. She knew she could do better, but told Sattarpour that her situation at home made school challenging—her father had a substance abuse problem.
Through the School of Education's Mission Possible program, Sattarpour began seeing the girl—and sometimes her family—in regular counseling sessions, offering a listening ear and simply being there without passing judgment. Family members, including the father, initiated changes. As a result, the girl's grades have improved and she feels more confident and outgoing, Sattarpour said.
Cases like that demonstrate just how important Sattarpour and other counselors in the program are, said Brian Gerrard, executive director of USF's Center for Child and Family Development, which runs the program. Since its founding in 1984, Mission Possible has placed more than 500 second-year master's students as counselors at more than 100 schools. They have worked with more than 10,000 at-risk children and their families during that time.
The schools the program serves—30 this year, 11 of which are Catholic—typically have more than 500 students and no resources to hire counselors.
Because the Mission Possible counselors are trained to work with students and their families, they can address issues including unemployment, stress, divorce, and substance abuse, all of which can affect a student's performance in the classroom.
"Without Mission Possible, there would be no counselor in these schools and children who are failing at school, having difficulty succeeding at school, would continue on that path," Gerrard said. "It would be a very different situation for a lot of those kids."
Four nursing students—all of them registered nurses working toward master's degrees—are filling vital roles this semester by serving as school nurses. If it weren't for them, seven Catholic elementary schools in San Francisco's Mission district would have no nurse available to their students.
"We don't have the budget or the funding to afford to have nurses at any of the schools," said Richard Lee, business manager of the Alliance of Mission District Catholic Schools. "This partnership has been quite a Godsend."
The partnership, which began two years ago, has nursing students visiting their assigned schools once a week as the main component of a course.
The nurses are doing "everything from reviewing immunization records to make sure those are updated to providing hands-on patient care, taking care of bumps and bruises," said Kimberleigh Cox, School of Nursing instructor. Some nurses, like Ty Stavely, have also been asked to put together presentations on various health-related topics. For Stavely, a manager for surgical services, that has meant developing presentations on such topics as smoking, healthy eating, and hygiene.
Jennifer Heisleman, an IV therapist, has vision-screened all the students at the two schools she works at (the last time either school had a vision screening was at least six years ago), as well as reviewed the immunization records at both schools. Without a nurse on staff, the schools were relying upon the office staff to periodically review the records. The result, however, was that this important task was not getting done since the records are full of medical acronyms that don't instinctively make sense. Since completing the comprehensive review, Heisleman has trained office staff members on how to properly review the records and she has set up a process to ensure the reviews are completed.
Working in these schools has provided Heisleman, Stavely, and others with the opportunity to have an impact on people's lives they don't often get, even as working nurses.
"In this instance, it's kind of a chance to hit a population that's totally underserved and there's absolutely no funding for otherwise. That's really rewarding," Heisleman said.
As an international studies major, senior Joyce Gehr follows U.S.-Mexico immigration issues in the news.
She is familiar with case studies and research papers on immigrant farm workers from courses in her Latin America studies minor. But, none of it prepared her for Martín.
A farm worker from Mexico who lives on the San Mateo County coast, Martín (who requested his name be changed to protect his privacy) spent five years of his life in "indebted bondage" on an asparagus farm, unable to pay off his debt because the property owner paid him only during the harvest season but required Martín to pay rent every month.
While Gehr had read about such things as sweatshops overseas, she hardly imagined this type of injustice so close to home—just over an hour drive from USF. "I could no longer pretend that it didn't exist or continue to live my life in blissful ignorance," she said.
Through University Ministry, Gehr met Martín and many other farm workers at the nonprofit farm worker community resource center Puente de la Costa Sur in Pescadero. Last fall, Gehr and about 30 other USF students volunteered at Puente for two hours or more once a week. Students practiced English and Spanish with the mostly male workers, played checkers and other games, helped cook and clean after meals, and donated clothes.
The seemingly simple act of students taking time to talk with the workers had an impact—the workers, who typically feel very isolated, looked forward to the weekly meetings. They enjoyed improving their English skills and sharing their stories, gaining confidence that others care about their situations.
The experience also affected how Gehr and other students view their everyday lives. After her time at Puente, Gehr became more conscious of where she buys food and joined USF's Back to da Roots, an urban gardening club organized around environmental and social justice issues.
"Now, I buy local produce from farmer's markets and grow my own food," Gehr said. "I also researched some agricultural companies that I should avoid at all costs and have boycotted those. Pescadero is our extended community and it is our obligation as citizens to reach out to bring these issues to light and bring awareness to those who don't know, and to start the slow process of change."
A surprising thing happened to junior Brian Park on the way to earning a marketing degree in business. He discovered business isn't just about the bottom line for a growing number Bay Area corporate and entrepreneurial innovators.
When evaluating how to promote a company, Park now considers the so-called triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit—which introduces the additional corporate responsibilities of operating an environmentally sustainable and socially conscious business, in addition to making money.
"The idea of doing business in a socially responsible manner never really occurred to me before," said Park, who came face-to-face with social enterprises and the social economy—where businesses generate revenue by providing services that benefit society—through an internship with social enterprise Hub Bay Area last summer.
Hub, with local offices in Berkeley and San Francisco, fosters collaboration between nonprofits, for-profits, and cooperatives in the arenas of clean technology, public health, and international development. Park spent 20 hours a week interning at Hub during the summer and liked it so much he chose to continue working there without pay to fulfill the service-learning requirement for his Leadership and Organizational Behavior class.
USF students are out in force, working to improve the lives and provide much-needed resources to residents of the Bay Area:
"The idea is for students to become involved in and have an impact on their community using their business skills while being active in and learning about their disciplines," said business Professor Dayle Smith, director of USF's Business Honors Cohort Program. About 15 business students have interned or completed service-learning at Hub.
Park, who worked with sophomore international business major Ari Brownstone to grow Hub's membership, attended business and nonprofit mixers, conducted Internet research on likely partners, and spread the word about Hub's mission through social media and Web marketing. "If this spreads, then perhaps in the near future it will become the trend to do business in a way that doesn't hurt the Earth and mankind as a whole," said Brownstone.
Yolanda Peneda does more than study case law. As a third-year law student interested in children's rights, Peneda spends as many as 30 hours per week in San Francisco courts fighting for foster kids through the School of Law's Child Advocacy Clinic.
"Often, children in foster care have been abused or neglected by the very people who were supposed to protect them," Peneda said. "The least we can do is to give them a voice in the court that will decide their future."
Peneda is one of about six full-time and two part-time USF students learning by taking part in the community outreach offered by the clinic. The students' work, for which they receive from three to six classroom credits, is meant to promote the rights of those who often find themselves without advocates as well as provide professional experience for the law students, said Patty Fitzsimmons, director of the clinic. Initiated in 2005, the program has students working an average of 50 cases each year.
"There was and still is no other law school in the Bay Area that provides direct representation to children in the child welfare system," Fitzsimmons said.
From public schools that shirk their responsibilities to provide special education services, to unresponsive group foster homes, to a social welfare system that allows a child to die in spite of repeated third-party reports of medical neglect by the parents (all cases Peneda has dealt with), Peneda said her single-minded focus is to learn to become an effective representative for children in the system.
By exposing law students to psychology and social work standards through an interdisciplinary approach, the clinic has been a party to important court rulings—the most notable being a 2005 case published by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that required the child welfare system to adhere to oft-ignored timelines that left children in legal limbo for months or years.
"This is a perfect example of how our students meet with attorneys, social workers, therapists, and school personnel to get real experience advocating for a client in many arenas," Fitzsimmons said.

Local law enforcement have deemed safe a suspicious vehicle parked at a Whiskey Road hotel.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Department received a call at approximately 8:22 a.m. about a suspicious vehicle at the Country Inn & Suites at 3270 Whiskey Road.
The deputies found a Ford Explorer with a few gas cans and a propane tank underneath the vehicle. Deputies secured the scene and closed Whiskey Road from Citadel Drive to Talatha Church Road. Occupants of the hotel were moved to the far end of the building. Everyone around the scene was moved to at least 300 feet away from the vehicle.
"Since then, SLED bomb folks have dismantled the gas can and the cylinder. At this time, nothing was hooked to them as far as wires go. Nonetheless, it was still suspicious," said Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt. "As you know, 9/11 changed the way we do business. Certainly things that have happened in the past couple of days throughout country have heightened that, but this is the way we do business every day in Aiken County when it comes to suspicious packages."
The SUV has Florida tags, and law enforcement have located the owner. The owner is with an out-of-town construction outfit that was working at a site where these cans and cylinders are not allowed, so they parked their vehicle with those items at the hotel.
"At this time, this vehicle has been deemed clear of any explosives and deemed safe by the SLED bomb tech folks," said Sgt. Jason Feemster with the Sheriff's Office.
Whiskey Road is open again to traffic.
Rumors of a "suspicious person" seen walking from the scene are unsubstantiated, according to Hunt.
"We don't have anything about a suspicious person walking around," he said.
Chukker Creek Elementary is no longer under a soft lockdown.

His bandaged right arm is raised in what we now know is a salute.
His face is mostly obscured, but the photo captures details like the color of the patient's hair, the shadow of what appears to be a large bruise on his left cheek and a Purple Heart medal pinned to the quilt.
The patient is Cpl. Joshua Hargis. His wife, Taylor, calls him Josh. The photo has been shared thousands of times since Taylor posted it to her Facebook page nearly a week after he was injured during a military operation in Afghanistan that killed four troops and injured 14.

A mythical creature is a fictional living thing, usually an animal or animal-like organism, that exists only in mythology or folklore.
Examples of (mostly) non-religious, mythical creatures include:
Because most theists agree that non-religious mythical creatures do not really exist, they often serve as good substitutes for God (or angels, etc.) in counter-apologetics, either to show the weakness of a theist's argument, or to show the reasonableness of a corresponding counter-argument — especially in the context of the reasonableness of belief without evidence, or the nature of burden of proof when applied to issues of existence.
- Atheist: "Do you believe in leprechauns?"
- Theist: "No."
- Atheist: "Why not?"
- Theist: "Because they obviously don't exist."
- Atheist: "Prove it."
- Theist: "I don't have to! No one really believes in leprechauns."
- Aheist: "Do you have evidence that they don't exist?"
- Theist: "No, but you don't have evidence that they do."
- Aheist: "You're right. But why not believe in them anyway, since we don't have good evidence either way?"

A method for manufacturing wireless communication devices for use in tracking or identifying other items comprises a number of cutting techniques that allow the size of the antenna for the wireless communication device. Further, the chip for the wireless communication device is nested so as to be flush with the surface of the substrate of the wireless communication device. Rollers cut the tabs that form the antenna elements. In a first embodiment, a plurality of rollers are used, each of effecting a different cut whose position may be phased so as to shorten or lengthen the antenna element. In a second embodiment, the rollers are independently positionable to shorten or lengthen the antenna element.

This application is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/422,616, filed Apr. 24, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,191,507, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/375,249 filed Apr. 24, 2002, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a wireless communication device for use in communication of information concerning an item containing the wireless communication device.
It is often desired to track and identify items, such as packages, containers, and the like, and to communicate information concerning such items wirelessly. One method of tracking and providing information concerning packages is to attach a wireless communication device, such as a radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder or other identification device, to packages or items. The information communicated concerning the packages or items may include an expiration date, "born on" date or date of manufacture, lot number, tracking information, or other manufacturing information, and the like. A wireless communication device may be attached to an individual package, to a container containing multiple packages, or other item as the situation merits.
Recent advances in the miniaturization of wireless communication electronics have enabled the creation of small chips, containing integrated circuits, that are well suited for use in these wireless communication devices. However, these chips still need antennas to communicate to a remotely positioned interrogator. Numerous potential antennas exist that may be coupled to the chip for this purpose.
It is expected that the demand for such devices will rapidly increase as industries realize the versatility and utility of the wireless communication devices. To meet this demand, automated manufacturing processes are needed. Further, the process contemplated should provide a wireless communication device well suited for integration with the item to be tracked and one that may have the ability to communicate at multiple frequencies if desired.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a number of embodiments designed to pick up chips from a carrier tape and position the chips on an adhesive production line for later incorporation into a wireless communication device.
In a second aspect, that may be used in conjunction with the first aspect comprises a combination of positioning a conductive material on a roll, cutting the conductive material to the desired shape, and peeling the conductive material from an underlying carrier material. In one embodiment of this aspect, a single roller performs the entire cut. In a second embodiment of this aspect, three separate rollers perform different cuts, allowing the size of the tabs created to be varied as needed or desired.
Another aspect comprises using two selectively spaced rollers to adjust the size of the tab created. In an exemplary embodiment, a testing device may assess the capacitance of the elements of the dipole with a ground layer or without a ground layer to give an estimate of the thickness and/or dielectric constant of the substrate to which the chip is being applied. Each roller may be moved independently, increasing or decreasing the size of the tab while assessing the effective capacitance until a desired value is achieved for maximum antenna performance. Upon reaching the desired values, the tabs are cut to create the antenna.
As yet another aspect, die present invention may insert a wireless communication chip into a substrate such that the chip does not protrude from the surface of the substrate. An exemplary embodiment includes, punching a hole in the substrate, positioning tabs to form a dipole antenna overlapping the newly formed hole, and positioning the chip in the hole. The chip may be attached to the tabs by a low melting point solder, a conductive adhesive, welding, or a mechanical bond.
The aspects are mutually cooperative and allow a roll-to-roll manufacturing process to be automated for the creation of the wireless communication devices.
The present invention is a method of manufacturing wireless communication devices such as those used in co-pending, commonly assigned U.S. patent applications Ser. Nos. 09/678,271 and 09/678,630, entitled "Wireless Communication Device and Method" and "Multi-Band Wireless Communication Device and Method" respectively, both of which were filed on Oct. 3, 2000 and are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. In particular, the present invention allows variations in the size of the tabs used for antenna elements in the wireless communication devices.
Some wireless communications devices have both transmit and receive capability and can be used in the present invention. A typical example of such a device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,953, entitled "IR/RF radio transceiver and method," incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Other wireless communication devices have receive capability and use the energy received to communicate back, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,078,259 entitled "Radio frequency identification tag," incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such passive devices may likewise be used with the present invention. The wireless communication device in the present invention can be any type of device that allows reception of wireless, electronic communications and is able to communicate in response thereto. Both types of wireless communication devices are sometimes referred to herein and in the art as transponders. The terms are used equivalently herein.
Tabs 40 may also be constructed from a tape impregnated with metal loaded ink, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,566,441, entitled "Attaching an electronic circuit to a substrate," incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In one embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in
An optional ground plane (not shown) may be oppositely positioned on substrate 20 if needed or desired. Substrate 20 may be almost any material, but is most likely a plastic or similar material.
Wireless communication chip 30 may comprise a device from INTERMEC as used in their Intellitag� labels and those devices from SCS as used in their DL100 label although other devices are certainly possible, especially in light of the present invention's suitability to both active and passive wireless communication devices 10. Wireless communication chip 30 may comprise a controller, memory, a battery, a sensor, and other conventional components such as those described in the previously incorporated applications.
Tabs 40A, 40B together comprise dipole antenna 60. In this particular embodiment, tabs 40A, 40B are asymmetrical with respect to one another to form an asymmetrical dipole antenna. An asymmetrical dipole antenna 60 is an antenna having a first tab 40A, or first pole, different in shape, including, but not necessarily limited to length, width, volume, and/or density, from the second tab 40B, or second pole.
Tabs 40A, 40B may also be coupled to a slot to form a slot antenna (not shown). Alternatively, a single tab 40 may be used as a monopole antenna given the appropriate ground plane (not shown). While the present invention is primarily directed to dipole antenna tab structures, it should be appreciated by those in the art that some of the techniques may be equally applicable to a single tab 40 arrangement, or an arrangement having more than two tabs 40A, 40B.
The present invention focuses on techniques to manufacture these wireless communication devices 10. There are several different aspects to the manufacturing process. The first is properly positioning the wireless communication chip 30 for later processing, and is discussed in the chip positioning section below. The second is the creation of the tabs 40 that from the antenna 60, addressed in a separate section below. The last is the merging of the chip 30 with the antenna 60 to form the wireless communication device 10, discussed in the mounting techniques section below.
Chip Positioning Techniques
There are two specifically contemplated techniques to remove the chips 30 from the carrier tape 100 for later mounting on the wireless communication device 10. Other techniques are also contemplated to enable the roll-to-roll continuous automation process of the present invention.
A first technique is illustrated in
A second technique is illustrated in
Manufacture of Tabs for Antenna
Concurrent to the positioning of the chips 30 on the adhesive line 118, tabs 40 may be created for the wireless communication device 10. This section focuses on techniques by which the tabs 40 may be created that are again well suited for use in the roll-to-roll automated manufacturing process of the present invention.
A first technique for the creation of tabs 40A, 40B is illustrated in
To accommodate substrates 20 that may have varying dielectric constants and/or thicknesses (such as may occur when switching materials having different dielectric constants forming substrate 20) variations may need to be made to the dimensions of tabs 40A, 40B to produce the optimum read range at the desired operating frequency. To ensure optimal antenna 60 performance using tabs 40A, 40B with chip 30, energy transfer should be maximized between chip 30 and tabs 40A, 40B to maximize emitted radiation from tabs 40A, 40B. To ensure maximum energy transfer, the impedance of tabs 40A, 40B must be substantially matched to the impedance of chip 30.
Further information on impedance matching between wireless communication devices and antennas is described in the previously incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 09/678,271 and 09/678,630, and co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/125,786 entitled "Tuning techniques for a slot antenna," filed on Apr. 18, 2002 filed by the same assignee as the present application and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
A first technique to address this situation is illustrated in
The technique of
An alternate technique to provide variations in the size of tabs 40A, 40B is illustrated in
Production line 140A passes under first roller 300 and second roller 302 to deposit the tabs 40 and the chip 30 onto the substrate 20. Rollers 300 and 302 may initially be close together as illustrated by dimension 'X' in
As illustrated by the difference between
As previously noted, some of the above techniques may be occurring concurrently with the positioning of the chips 30 on the adhesive line 118. The following section deals with mounting the chips 30 on the wireless communication device 10 after the antenna 60 has been positioned thereon.
Mounting Techniques
One technique is illustrated in
Foil tape 42, 52 overlaps edges 24 so that tape 42, 52 extends partially into hole 22. Chip 30 is then inserted in the direction of the arrow into the hole 22. Hole 22 may be designed to allow chip 30 to sit flush with upper surface 21 of substrate 20 without substantially protruding therefrom, as is illustrated in
A number of techniques exist to attach chip 30 to tabs 40A, 40B. A first technique comprises using a low melting point solder. Tape ends 44, 54 of foil tape 42, 52 may be pre-loaded with a solder paste. Chip 30 is then simply dropped onto the paste (not shown), and the solder (not shown) is melted to form connectivity between tabs 40A, 40B and chip 30. Appropriate methods to form the solder joint comprise the use of infrared radiation to heat the joint locally, or pushing chip 30 into the paste with pins 32 of chip 30 preheated. Preheating of pins 32 allows the solder to remain in a liquefied state longer after initial melting so that solder may more easily, flow to more surface area of tabs 40A, 40B and around pin 32 to form a stronger bond. Such preheating may be accomplished by any technique, including use of a preheating tool that emits heat such as a hot gas jet or the like.
An alternative technique for attaching chip 30 to tabs 40A, 40B comprises the use of a conductive adhesive (not shown). The adhesive forms a bond between tabs 40A, 40B and chip 30, and the conductivity of the adhesive ensures electrical continuity between tabs 40A, 40B and chip 30. Either a suitable conductive adhesive can be applied by printing to ends 44, 54 of tape 42, 52 prior to assembly, or chip 30 may be pushed onto a pressure sensitive conductive adhesive on top surfaces 46, 56 of tape 42, 52. It may be advantageous, but not required to use an adhesive that can be cured rapidly. For example, an adhesive cured by a flash of ultraviolet (UV) light would be appropriate. Examples of conductive adhesives include isotropic conductive adhesives, conductive silicones, and anisotropic conductive adhesives. The interested reader is directed to Electrically Conductive Adhesives Characteristics and Applications, a Loctite Corporation publication available at www.loctite.com that is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Further information may also be found at the following website: www.chemical.felpro.com/electronics/elec_tech_index.html#eleccond.
Yet another alternative is illustrated in
Chip 30, and particularly pins 32 thereof, are heated above the yield point of substrate 20 and positioned over substrate 20 (
Still another alternative would be to weld or tack pins 32 to tape 42, 52 using a suitable tool. The tool presses chip 30 into surface 21 of substrate 20. A high current may be passed through pins 32, using a low voltage pulse therethrough to form the weld. A lower voltage pulse is desirable so as to not apply a damaging voltage to chip 30. A modified chip 30 with a single thin foil (not shown) rather than multiple pins 32 may also be used for this technique. This technique may be better suited for chips 30 having an aluminum thin foil rather than a copper thin foil, since aluminum has a melting point temperature lower than copper thereby allowing use of a current that is lower in Amperes.
With all of these embodiments, a sealing layer (not shown) may also be placed onto substrate 20 and over chip 30 to hold chip 30 firmly in its desired location. This sealing layer may be an epoxy, but may instead be a robust plastic such as polyimide, Mylar, or polypropylene. These plastics may be attached by adhesives or by thermal welding as needed or desired.
It should be noted that extra layers may be added to wireless communication device 10 after or in place of the sealing layer. For example, a paper layer for printing or plastic layers may be added to the structure. Such sealing layer or layers may be applied onto substrate 20 using any type of label printing machine.
For almost any of the above styled processes, the chip 30 may be positioned on the substrate 20 with rollers as illustrated in
The above-mentioned techniques are useful with a number of other manufacturing techniques. Of particular interest is the creation of tabs 40A, 40B. This may be done before, concurrently with, or after the creation of hole 22 in substrate 20 as needed or desired.
The present invention is well suited for "roll to roll" processes, making the automation of the present invention easy. As illustrated in
The present invention may, of course, be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the scope and the essential characteristics of the invention. The present embodiments are therefore to be construed in all aspects as illustrative and not restrictive and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

On Saturday 19th June over 300 secondary school pupils from 27 schools across Greater Manchester will come together to celebrate completing The MOTIV 100% Challenge for school attendance at Hard Rock Manchester for an exclusive, invite-only concert by DAISY DARES YOU.
Supported by Manchester City Council and Oldham Council and produced by award winning social enterprise MOTIV The 100% Challenge was issued to every primary and secondary school across Manchester to encourage greater school attendance across Manchester.
MOTIV Director Rose Marley commented 'Daisy Dares You is an ideal choice of artist for this great celebration of achievement as she is a shining example of hard work resulting in reward. Attending pupils will get to find out more about the entertainment industry on the day though – they can't all be rockstars but they can all have a successful career if they put the effort in!"
Saturday Morning Rocks will be headlined by Sony Records artist DAISY DARES YOU. Daisy, who is 16 years old and was signed to Sony last year and has already enjoyed huge chart success with Number One Enemy , featuring a guest appearance by Chipmunk. Daisy describes her music as "delirious funky produce". "I really do feel ready for this," she says. "This is the best thing that could've happened to me.
Not a lot of people my age get a chance like this to perform and release their own records." Daisy's aspirations for herself remain at 100% "I'm not aiming too high at this point. But a global smash hit would be nice." She comments.
The 100% Challenge has been running in over two hundred schools across Greater Manchester in Spring and Summer Terms. Pupils have been rewarded with exclusively designed badges at each half term and if they completed a whole term with full attendance or significantly improved attendance they receive a special reward tailored to their year group and their school.
Councillor Jack Hulme, Cabinet Member for Children and Families said: "Oldham Council is anticipating some positive results at the end of this school year. We have been working hard as an authority and with MOTIV for the past couple of years and we can really start to see that relationship bear fruit"
The MOTIV 100% Challenge is delivered by MOTIV on behalf of Oldham Council and Manchester City Council as part of a range of measures to poor tackle poor school attendance and low aspiration across the city. Early results from Manchester indicate a significant improvement in school attendance over the whole year with a 19% increase in full attendance across Spring Term.
Councillor Sheila Newman, Executive Member Children's Services, Manchester City Council, said:
"This is going to be a fantastic event for the young people who attend. They thoroughly deserve this exciting reward for their good attendance in school and for demonstrating through this that they value their education and understand the importance of attending school every day they should."
Rose Marley said: "A child's future can be mapped out by their attendance record so it's important that we communicate in a way that is appealing. It's not just about reward though, through events such as this, we demonstrate just what can be achieved through hard work, teaching pupils valuable skills and raising aspirations in the process."
The attending schools from Manchester and Oldham are:
Oldham Schools:
Blue Coat C.E.
Breeze Hill

Dorsey: Buddy Wakefield returns to Toledo for 'Poetry Speaks'Written by John Dorsey | | email@example.com
It's 2011 and a small crowd is filing into the Collingwood Arts Center's historic Lois M. Nelson Theatre for a command performance by famed slam poet Buddy Wakefield and the energy is just awesome.
I have too admit to being a little out of touch with the national poetry slam community at that time and not really knowing much about Wakefield, who was recommended to me by Michael Grover, as someone who might draw a crowd. While the crowd that did turn out, which included city luminaries like Joe McNamara, wasn't gigantic, they were fiercely local fans.
Flash forward a year or so later and I'm having a beer with a few graduate fellows from the University of Toledo and they start talking about which poets they can possibly bring to Toledo and Wakefield's name comes up as someone who has a national reputation who might appeal to a very wide audience, both young and old. I tell them about my own positive experience and don't think anything about it until about a month ago, when they tell me that Wakefield is returning to the city as the feature attraction for the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library's beloved Poetry Speaks series.
Wakefield's return to Toledo is set for February 18, from 6-8pm in the Huntingdon Meeting room of the Main Branch Library. Local poets opening for Wakefield will include Zach Fishel, Tara Armstrong, Bob Phillips, Imani Lateef, and Ryan Bunch.
UT Graduate Fellow Ryan Duckett, who was instrumental in bringing Wakefield back to Toledo, had this to say about his experience with the famed poet and his work-
"I was first introduced to Buddy's work by a friend and that led me to check out a number of the other artists with Bloody Write Publishing. The first thing that really struck me about his work was just this pure intensity that draws you in as both a reader and a listener. Also I love the use of extended metaphor in his work. When I was thinking about whom we could bring in, I was really selfish, because I just thought, who would I like to see? I am so proud that this is our big reading of the season." "After this we'll focus on some career workshops for local authors that concern things like publishing your work and getting it out there. I met with Imani Lateef recently and we talked about, what can we do? How can we make things better for the city of Toledo and its literary community?"
Wakefield is a two-time Individual World Poetry Slam Champion. He has been featured on NPR, the BBC and HBO's Def Poetry Jam. His books include Gentleman Practice and Live for a Living, both on Write Bloody Publishing. Wakefield has toured with artists such as Derrick Brown and Anis Mojgani. He has also recorded for indie goddess Ani DifFranco's Righteous Babe Records.
Those who are interested in sharing their poems can sign up and get more information by e-mailing email@example.com All Poetry Speaks@ Your Library events are free and open to the public. Lewd lyrics, profanity, or strong sexual content are not allowed during poetry performances. Further information is available by calling (419) 259-5218. The Main Library is located downtown at 325 Michigan Street.
Unsure about the difference between a traditional poetry and a poetry slam? No problem. Simply visit http://nps2013.poetryslam.com/ and check out their about section for future events and a little bit about the history of this interesting literary movement that has spawned superstars such as Saul Williams, Beau Sia, Jessica Care Moore, Taylor Mali and many more!!
Until next time … keep your pencil sharp.
John Dorsey is a widely published poet and has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
