Tonight's American Idol is a very special one, as it features Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert as a real life mentor. I think we can all agree that this season's Idols have a lot to live up to. For example, hitting more that 2 out of every 5 notes.
We've had two glasses of wine at Grand Lux Cafe and bring you this liveblog from the "comfort" of my parents' bedroom in Miami. In other words, it'll be a sh*tshow. Here we go!
8 PM: Seacrest sounds drunk. And we just remembered Michael was saved last week. Well, worse case scenario, if he gets booted again he can always create a brand of lip balm made out of his own saliva.
8:04: Lambert got a hold of the side-hair laminating machine. My mother things he looks fabulous, but I can't help but be distracted by Matthew Morrison of Glee's fedora in the background. If Carmen Sandiego is still where in the worlding, we found her.
8:05: "My tongue is not nearly as talented as yours." — Ryan to Adam. Seacrest is throwing his balls high in the air tonight. American Idol is back people, and it is gaayyyy! We love it.
8:06: Crystal Bowersox is starting the show tonight, meaning it's all downhill from here.
8:07: Sorry, it's impossible to liveblog when my Mother is slapping her giant slipper against the tile and talking about what a great show Smoky Joe's Cafe was. "That's the song!" *snap snap* "slipper slap* "That's it!"
8:08: Crystal's killing it. "Let me tell you, Gloria Estefan can learn from her. Gloria Estefan sucks!" — Mom
8:10: Simon is speaking, and again, in the back, is Mr. Schuester's fedora. Hat's show biz.
8:15: Andrew Garcia just is not that great. And thank GOD Adam is being honest about his rendition of "Hound Dog." "It needs more punch." — Adam. Here, use our fist.
8:17: He can hold that microphone and strut cross the stage all he wants, but we are busy dirt napping it up. We wonder if his neck tattoo is there to cover up his Frankenstein bolts.
8:20: Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison should always sit behind Simon. Watching them feign shock at his comments is more entertaining than the performers. Have we mentioned that we've already seen tonight's Glee? And it's amazing? Great.
8:26: RYAN'S MOMMM! That hair, fantastic. Highlight tweeeyunzzz!
8:26: OMG when Tim Urban sang "falling in love with you" and looked at Adam I couldn't help but think ~**<3<3**~. Also calling him Turban is surely going to cause him to lose votes from anti-Talibanners Ryan.
8:28: Me: "He sucks." Mom: "Beyond Sucks."
8:29: He pulled it together at the end. Mom: "I liked it! It was good." And this is how I was raised.
8:30: MATTHEW MORRISON FEDORA WATCH: Still perked. They need to give us a close-up of Iqbal Theba ASAP. Adam's golf clap tells us everything we need to know: That was good, but Lambert would have cracked that shit out of the park.
8:35: Really happy that Adam is being critical of these Idols, unlike Usher or Miley or really any of the other mentors. Lee Dewyze has been pretty good all season, but it's true: If Chuck E. Cheese ever invested in a Bruce Springsteen animatronic robot, it would be Lee Dewyze.
8:38: Dewyze killed it. Kara tells him he gets too serious when he sings… um, that's his style. What does she want from this guy? Even Morrison's Fedora is WTF-shrugging.
8:40: Is it bad that Ryan said the name Aaron Kelly and I had no idea who it was? He looks like a newborn next to Adam. This is like a televised Make-A-Wish kid 3 days before the bucket kicking.
8:42: Not a huge fan of this song, but Aaron is much better than usual. Like… hitting the notessssuh. The Lambert energy has clearly infected these contestants, and judging by Adam's golf clap and cheshire cat smile, he seems pleased.
8:46: That Siobhan and Adam outro was to die for. Please tell me she's singing "Suspicious Minds." She's been off these past couple of weeks… she has to come back tonight, she just has to.
8:51: Love her look tonight. There must have been a sale on hair shellack.
8:51: OMFG SHE IS SINGING SUSPICIOUS MINDS!! Wait am I a genius? I can't decide. (Yes.)
8:52: Aw Adam and Siobhan click.
8:52: What is with this country-ass background? What Elvis Geocities MIDI file did she rip this from? Siobhan, what happened??? She's turned into a poor man's Linda Ronstadt. I think even Linda would agree this is not a good idea.
8:54: This arrangement could be considered something of a disaster. But she got a raised clap from Adam — the first of the night — so who knows. I have to see Matthew Morrison's fedora to decide…
8:56: MATTHEW MORRISON'S FEDORA WATCH: It is grimacing the sh*t outta me right now.
8:57: If Siobhan gets eliminated this week, and the Judges can't save her because they saved Big Mike… I will not be pleased.
9:01: This KFC Double Down sandwich would nauseate me… but then I remember that their chicken's don't even have beaks or reproductive organs, and I relax.
9:02: I can't believe Seacrest just threw down a Dunkleman burn. He'll be off "Brooks Was Here-ing" himself Shawshank style later on this evening.
9:03: Mike is going to sing "In The Ghetto," a song I love. Please, please limit your lip licking to twice per minute, Michael Lynch.
9:04: Not sure I love this melodic interpretation… he sounds good, but changing it too much for my liking. Where's the melody??
9:05: I just realized, if Michael wins Idol, Keenan Thompson will secure his SNL contract for at least 6 more months.
9:10: Adam telling the contestants to let it out is the right advice. In other words, pretend like you're talented Katie.
9:12: "I can't believe of hundreds of songs… I've never even heard of this song! Out of the zillions of Elvis songs!" — Mother on Katie
9:13: MATTHEW MORRISON FEDORA WATCH: It looks wilted. Lifeless… Katie might be in trouble tomorrow.
9:19: Oh I love Casey! For all of those who didn't think Adam was a suitable mentor, ps, f**k off. He's given better criticism to these kids than most if not all the other mentors.
9:20: Casey pulled his locks back in basically the same sort of ponytail I was wearing all day today. "Another song I've never even heard! It's just annoying!" — Mother on Casey.
9:21: I'm a Casey fan, but this is sounding less American Idol more those machines that when you flip them over it sounds like a sheep bleating. The previous sentence would have been way tighter if I knew what those things were called.
9:22: My Mother is convinced that Simon and Ellen HATE each other. I've spent the entire night listening to her interpretations of Simon's disgust. I might be starting to believe it. Matthew Morrison's fedora certainly does.
9:24: Listening to all of the performances tonight, Tim, Lee and Crystal were pretty much the best.
9:25: OMFG RYAN HAS TAKEN AWAY MATTHEW'S HAT. FEDORA OUT!! Thanks for joining us.
9:27: GLEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Bye xoxo

Hello there! I have ben lurking here for some time and decided it was time to come out and say hello.
I am horsless and lessonless at the moment. I hope one day I will be able to get a horse, I have always loved them and always will. Maybe in six years... sigh.
I havent ridden a horse since I was 12 and even then it was only about 17 lessons or so. I am now 16. My lack of riding is mostly because I don't have enough money and there is no where close to ride.
Hopefully I will be back riding again soon.

GENTGES ATTORNEY METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING ANALOG SIGNALS STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for government purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Presently used cryptographic equipment is based upon a technique described by Vernam. With this technique the data to be enciphered is combined with an enciphering key, the resultant being ciphertext. To decode the ciphertext an identical key to that used for enciphering is generated and the data is derived from the ciphertext. With this technique it is necessary that the data be in the form of binary bits. If the data is in some other form, then some means for converting it to binary bits is necessary. Likewise, on the receiving end, some means is needed for converting the binary bits back to the original form of the data.
Vernam described a system using punched tape such as used with teleprinter equipment. In his system one tape containing the message was combined with another tape which served as the key. A special tape reader is used which advances both tapes together as the bits for each character are read the same number of bits of key for enchiphering are also read. The combining is done as follows:
1. If the key bit is a zero, the corresponding data bit I is sent as is.
2. If the key bit is a one, the corresponding data bit is sent inverted, i.e., data l, cipher 0,; data 0, cipher 1. This type of combining is mathematically called module two addition and the logic function is realized with an exclusive OR gate. This may be shown in a logic table as:
Date 0 0 l 1 Key 0 l 0 1 Output 0 l l 0 (Ciphertext) The same logic function is used to recover data from ciphertext.
Ciphertext 0 Key 0 Output 0 (Data) From this, the following table can be constructed to show that indeed for all cases of key and data, proper data is recovered on the receiving end Send Received Data Key Ciphertext Data 1 l 0 l l 0 l l 0 l l 0 0 0 0 O and thus logically asumed deduce a large block of the key. The key should have properties to make this information useless. The first is that given any arbitrarily large block of key no further bits on either side can be logically deduced. This prevents being able to enter the ciphertext at one point and obtaining further data by reconstructing additional key. The second property is that given any arbitrarily large block of key, all other blocks of the same length of any combinations of ones and zeros would appear equally probable. This prevents being able to assume a message and then by looking at the key necessary to generate the ciphertext de termine how probable the assumed message is. There are two basic techniques used for generating key of this type. The first is to sample a random process. For example, this could be a noise source or a nuclear event. The second is to devise an interconnection of digital logic that will appear noise-like and meet all the criteria. One advantage of this approach is that several of these computing devices can be built and changing the key only involves changes to the computing logic wiring rather than the transporting the entire quantity of new key bits between the transmitting and receiving end. It has the disadvantage that for a finite computing system that the criteria can only be approached rather than met. Considerable work has been done to design computing systems which meet the criteria as closely as possible with minimum computing complexity. As a result, these computing systems strive to make the breaking of the code impractical while maintaining reasonable cost.
N ON-DIGITAL DATA If the data to be enciphered is not digital, it is necessary to convert it to digital form so this technque can be used. The enciphered output is digital and this requires that the communication link be a digital one. In the case of signals which were digital in origin the enciphering imposes no additional hardship in transmission since they require digital transmission without enciphering. For analog signals, however, enciphering can impose serious transmission problems. In many of these cases, the transmission of the non-digital signal is trivial compared to the transmission of the equivalent digital signal.
VOICE One example of this is encrypted voice. First, the voice is digitized, then encrypted, and then the digital data is transmitted. On the receiving end, the digital stream of data is recovered, deciphered, and then the digital is converted back to voice. Where wide bandwidths are available such as with UHF radio, or short length telephone lines the available bit rate is high enough so the conversion from voice to digital and digital to voice is relatively simple. However, the transmission bandwidth required is at least 6 times that of the original speech. It is possible, then to trade bandwidth for equipment complexity. For communication links where the additional bandwidth becomes costly it becomes necessary from an economic point of view to increase equipment complexity and cost to realize greater savings in the communications link. This may be approached in two ways. First, the device that converts the digital data to form for transmission through the communication link can be optimized to give more bits per unit bandwidth. There are certain fundamental limitations to how much can be done in this area. About the best that can be done is to reduce the 6 to 1 down to 2 to l.
The second approach is to process the speech in some way so that the bit rate is reduced. This is normally done with a vocoder. The major problem is that the speech on the receiving end sounds unnatural and synthetic. In general, the higher the bit rate with a vocoder, the more natural it will sound and the less complex it will be. As a result a number of tradeoffs can be made between vocoder complexity and data transmission equipment complexity. No balance, however, re duces the complexity of the voice to digital converter, the data transmission equipment, and reduces the bandwidth all at the same time.
FACSIMILE & TELEVISION With facsimile and television the same basic problems as encountered with voice apply. The bandwidth required for the digital is much greater than that for the equivalent analog. For a 4.5 MHz bandwidth color television signal, the digital bit rate is 40 Meg'abits/second.
As with voice there are techniques for reducing the bit rate. The simplest and the only one being used to any extent is to eliminate shades and colors. This produces black or white with no grays. This operates satisfactorily for written or printed line copy but it is not suitable for pictures. Present facsimile equipment, when operated in this mode, maintains about the same resolution while requiring the same bandwidth as that for unsecure facsimile with gray scale. Thus it can be seen, that for non-digital signals, considerable effort may be needed above and beyond the actual encrypting process. It would be desirable, if possible, to find some type of newtechnique which would lend itself more readily to these non-digital signals.
CRITERIA FOR THE TECHNIQUE Any new technique should meet a basic set of criteria in order for it to be useful. These criteria are security and communicability. First, the technique should reduce the intelligence to a low enough level on the cipher output that it will be impossible to break the ciphering. Second, the nature of the signal on the cipher side should be such that it will be transmitable over identical facilities to that used for the enciphered signal and medium distortions encountered in the transmission should affect the signal on the deciphered receive end the same as for the unenciphered. In order for the technique to be widely applicable we shall restrict the device which uses the technique to a black box which accepts a varying voltage on the input and produces a varying voltage on the input and on the cipher output. The varying voltage on the input shall be restricted between and +E and bandwidth of 0 Hz to f}. The cipher output shall be a varying voltage between 0 and e and a bandwidth of 0 to f,,. The cipher output voltage e, =f(e t) where fis the ciphering function. Having established the two basic criteria and restricting to the above, additional criteria can be defined.
SECURITY For security the following criteria may be established:
Criteria 1. At any time t, and for any e e, shall have equal probability of being any voltage from 0 to Criteria 2. For any aribitrary time increment greater than l/f from an origianl e,,, a new s shall have equal probaility of being any value from 0 to E Criteria 3. Given any waveform of any arbitrary length, restricted in amplitude from 0 to E the probability of its occurrence will be equal to that of all other waveforms of the same length that are restricted to have frequency components between 0 and f,,. Criteria 1 establishes that the cipher output voltage is independent of the input voltage when observed only from the cipher output. For example, the cipher would appear to be changing in a random fashion when the input were at a steady e voltage. It would also appear random when the input were at 0 volts or at any other voltage.
Criteria 2 establishes that when observing incremental changes in that cipher no information can be gained above the input.
Criteria 3 establishes that with an observed cipher, it is not possible to establish higher probability of one input over another.
Criteria 2 and 3 are explicitly implied in Criteria 1. They are listed for sake of clarity.
COMMUNICABILITY For communicability the following criteria may be established:
Criteria 4. If in the communication link the cipher signal is perturbed by some amount e,,, the deciphered output should be perturbed by no more than +e,,.
ANALOG CIPHER COMBINER Consider the following ciphering function:
omar lma: kmar ma: and e being a ciphering key let e, e, e mE,,,
Then the deciphering function will be:
e e,, e mE where both e are the same Let e be a randomly varying voltage varying between 0 and E with all voltages in that range equiprobable and bandlimited between 0 and f Hz. Let the term modulo shift refer to m I. No modulo shift will refer to m 1.
For e, the deciphered output, it may be observed that it is equal to e, when the communication media for e, is not bandlimited nor dispersive. For the case where =f =f,,, and the communication media is also bandlimited to fl, and meets Nyquists first criteria then e e, when a shift into or out of modulo has not occurred. If a sampling process is introduced where e, is sampled at a rate 2 2f,,, then e, sampled at a delay time later equal to the communication delay, it will be observed that e, at t+ At will equal e at time t. This is true even with modulo shifting.
For any value of e, from O to E it may be observed that all values for e, from O to E are equiprobable. This is best illustrated with a set of transfer curves. For various values of e, see FIG. 1.
The receive end must determine if it should use m O or m 1. This may be done in two ways, by inference or by direct transmission.
INF ERENCE DIRECT TRANSMISSION The modulo shift command can also be transmitted separately and since it is a signal that carries information, it should be enciphered. Since it is a two state signal it can be enciphered. It can either be transmitted through a separate channel in the medium or time multiplexed with the data. Either way additional bandwidth of at least f,, is required (assuming an m-ary technique with m greater than 2 is not used), with the resulting total bandwidth of at least 2f,,. Thus the invention trades bandwidth for signal to noise while the inference method trades signal to noise for bandwidth.
TRANSMISSION ERRORS Because errors in modulo shift and errors in the data have different effects they will be considered separately.
ADDITIVE ERRORS IN DATA If the received signal is perturbed by an amount e by the transmission media the output e, will be perturbed by the amount e,,. This can be shown by Thus if 2,, is a constant D.C. level offset, the received signal e, will have the same offset. If e,, is noise, then 2, will have the same noise, and there will be no increase in signal to noise ratio over the unenciphered system.
MULTIPLICATION ERRORS IN DATA If the transmission system gain is not unity, but instead is l k where k is the deviation from the unity gain, then e, as received will be e' as shown by;
Since e,, is a randomly varying voltage, e,,.l( is a randomly varying voltage on the output and will appear as noise with a peak to peak amplitude of E K.
MODULO SHIFT ERRORS Modulo shift errors occur when either a modulo shift is interpreted as no shift or no modulo shift is inter preted as a shift. Referring back to equations (1) and (2) it may be stated that modulo shift errors cause m O to be deciphered by m 1 instead of m 0 and m l deciphered by m 0 instead! of m l. The error in e, would be: 1
from Equation (1) NO MODULO SHIFT e, e, e and substituting in equation 2 ma: 1+ k k ma: and substituting l 1: ma: k mar Thus, for either modulo shift error, e, is in error by an amount equal to E the sign of which is dependent on which error occurred. If modulo shift commands are derived from inference, perturbation in the transmission medium can cause them to be in error. For no modulo shift the perturbation necessary will be and assume e,, e;,, the transition point, for the modulo shift condition, then e, e,,.
and for modulo shift Thus, if the perturbation is either: greater than or equal to the voltage difference between the two extremes of e, (0 and E and e, then a modulo shift error may occur (depending on the sign of e,,). D.C. errors in s will reduce the level of e, on one end that would cause a shift error while increasing on the other end. Therefore, the inference method can be used if the following restrictions are applied while still not as desirable as direct transmission.
mar rr max) where e is the maximum positive perturbation and l maa:
is the maximum negative perturbation.
AFFECT OF TIME DISPERSION Time dispersive affects in the communication medium will have the affect of adding e s from other points in time to the main 2,. Since all other e s are random in level, they will add together to form a e, which is random. Thus the affect of dispersion is to add noise to the final e,.
AFFECT or NONLINEARITY Nonlinearities in the system will create some error between the e, sent and the 2,, received. This difference can be considered as an e,,. Since e varies randomly, these nonlinearities will introduce e s varying randomly. The net effect will be additional noise in e,'.
SOURCE OF KEY One method of generating key is to load a register with random binary bits. Then converting, by 2" weighting, these bits into an analog key. These bits could be from the same type of source as is used for the Vernam system. If the binary key satisfies the criteria provided an infinite length of bits is used for each analog level. If a finite number of bitsis used and a dither noise injected whose peak to peak level is about equal to the voltage value of the least significant bit, then the same output would be obtained as with the infinite register. e, would have a noise equal to the dither noise since presumably, it is not reproduced at the receiving end. The least significant bit can be made arbitrarily small in value to reduce the dither noise to a level that will not degrade the performance of the system.
There is a very real need for the dither. Consider an unfriendly entity observes the output and notes that it varies between and E And then he notes at a time when e, is at a constant level for a number of frame periods that e, is always in integral multiples and E the maximum positive excursion of es is 2' times this multple. Then if he takes each e,,, and subtracts it from the previous e,,, and divides it by the next lower integral step he can make the following premise: the change in e, between the two periods is equal to this residue plus or minus some integral step. For small voltage changes in e, this integral step could be small and the waveform reconstructed by trial and error.
COMMUNICATION MEDIUM CONSIDERATIONS Until now, the medium has been assumed to have response to zero cycles, and it can be shown that circuits without D.C. response have a form of additive error. Communications circuits in general do not have this type of response. Most circuits also do not have an accurate gain so they suffer from multiplicative errors. Therefore, the baseband cipher will require some form of modulation demodulation with a carrier to overcome these problems. FM has the advantage that gain changes in the communication circuit do not cause multiplicative errors on the output. It also can provide D.C. response without a great deal of effort.
Considerable work has been done in telemetry with FM carrier transmission of signals with D.C. components. These signals are often quantities that must be transmitted accurately and the equipment they use has been designed to be quite accurate. The accuracy is often as good as 1 percent. When used with this ciphering technique, e would equal 1 percent of E This would give a deciphered output accuracy of one percent or a signal to noise ratio of 40 db if it is assumed that the cipher and decipher process has no error.
It appears that FM would be the best technique to use for this ciphering system. It should be noted that the FM equipment used in telemetry is highly versatile. As a result it is much more complex and expensive than that needed for a specific communication requirement using this ciphering system and cost comparisons cannot be made.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention includes method and apparatus for enciphering analog signals including a modulo shift. The encoded signal and encoded moduloshift may be transmitted by either time multiplex or separate channels. The received encoded signal is then decoded to its original analog or digital signal. One implementation employs analog weighting of the signal and modulo shift and the separate transmission of the two signals. A second implementation employs binary weighting of the signal and a moduloshift and transmission by time multiplex.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION One object of the invention is to provide an improved method of coding and decoding analog signals.
Another object is an improved analog implementation of a coding and decoding system.
A further object is an improved binary implementation of a coding and decoding system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 2', which shows a two channel implementation with binary weighting, the input signal e, is A to D converted in converter 10, the binary output of which is connected a first input of binary full adder 12 which includes the flip flop shown. An encrypting key, a six bit binary word, is added in adder 12 to the binary output of converter 10. The encrypted output of the adder 12 is connected to a six stage shift register 14 having the stages summed through operational amplifier 16. The shift register 14, summing network and operational amplifier l6 convert the adder output back to an analog signal whose value may vary from 0 to 63. The last carry output of the adder determines the moduloshift and is modulo two added to the last bit of key to determine the encrypted modulo shift signal by Exclusive-ORing the carry and key bits in exclusive OR gate 17. The last change of the output of gate 17 is stored in flip-flop 18 to be sampled to some time after the input signal e, and the key have been added. Adder 12 thought a full adder can only add up to 63 or 6 bits of information. Therefore should the key and e, when added be greater than 63 the carry is not added to register 14 but it is lost and thereby provides the modulo shift. And thus the last carry bit and the last bit of key determines the encrypted modulo shift e The modulo shift e and the encrypted output of operational amplifier 16 e are then separately transmitted to a receiver where the signals are deciphered.
In the receiver the received e is A to D converted in converter 20 and fed to an adder 22. The received e,,,, is gated through exclusive OR gate 24 by the conjugate of the key. e and the most significant bit of the key thereby recover the original carry bit which may have been lost due to the overflow of adder 12. This original carry bit is stored as the most significant bit (here 2") the shift register 26. In adder 22 the enciphered e, is added to the conjugate of the key thereby effectively subtracting the key from the enciphered e,,, which is fed into shift register 26. This supplies the 2 through 2 bits of the word or number stored in shift register 26. The most significant bit, 2, is supplied by exclusive OR gate 24 which has removed the encrypting key from the original carry bit. Thus the input e, is represented in binary in shift register 26. This binary number is D to A converted by a summing network and operational amplifier 28. The output of operational amplifier 28 is sampled by gate 30 which is part of a sample and hold circuit 32. The output is sampled by gate 30 at a time after the receipt of the modulo shift. Thus, the output a, is an analog signal proportional to input e Summarizing the operation of FIG. 2, the input signal e, is A to D converted. A key is added to e the result is modulo shifted if necessary. The modulo shift indication is encrypted as e,,,,. The encrypted input signal is D to A converted (e,,) and transmitted separately along with e which indicates the state of the modulo shift. e, and e,,., are received. e is A to D converted; and key is subtracted supplying the least significant bits of the original word or number. e,,,, is deciphered using the last bit of key supplying the most significant bit of the original word or number which is D to A converted. It is of course recognized that at the end of each complete transition of a word or number all components must be reset or cleared before the next data is entered.
In FIGS. 3 and S the key is the encrypting key plus a modulo shift bit in the most significant plate to encrypt the modulo shift.
FIG. 3 shows a two channel analog embodiment of the invention. The key is fed into seven bit shift register 34 the first six ouputs of which are summed with a dither voltage and added to the input signal in analog adder 36. Neglecting the dither voltage which is left in the final output 2, signal and would appear as a noise type signal, the output of adder 36 is (e, e which is fed to analog adder 38 and also to comparator 40 which closes gate 42 when e, e E (i.e., I -(e 2,.) I E,,,,,, I The closing of gate 42 applies +E to adder 38 the output of which will be e, e minus E should there be a modulo shift indicated by comparator 40. The output of comparator is encrypted by the most significant bit of the key (the 2 bit of shift register 34) by exclusive OR gate 43. This encrypted signal e is stored in flip-flop 44 for transmission when a sample pulse is supplied to gate 46 of the sample and hold circuit 48. The sample pulse should be supplied at some time after the last bit of key is supplied to register 34. The sample and hold circuit 48 holds the encrypted signal e, for transmission.
In the receiver portion the key is fed into shift register 50 and as in the transmitter portion the first six bits of key are summed and then fed to an inverter 52 the output of which is e which is summed in analog adder 54. The most significant bit of the key is fed to exclusive OR gate 56, to decipher e the output of which determines whether +E,, should be added to 2 Thus it is seen that the output of analog adder 54 is a voltage representative of e, at a time after when a change in moduloshift has been detected, of course the key being added,; during this time the sample and hold circuit samples the output of 54 and we have a final output e FIG. 4 is an embodiment of the invention which employs time multiplexing and binary enciphering. This embodiment is very similar to that of FIG. 2 but is adapted for time multiplex. The input signal is applied to A to D converter 60. The binary output of converter 60 is then added to the key in adder 62. As in FIG. 2 the key a six bit word and e, has a value between zero and 63. The output of the adder 62 will be a value between zero and 63 plus a one or zero carry bit when the addition is complete. The least significant bits of the output are entered in shift register 64 and D to A converted by the summing network and operational amplifier 66. Thus an analog value of e between zero and 63 is presented to gate 68 of sample and hold circuit 70.
The carry output of the adder 62 is encrypted by the last bit of key in exclusive OR gate 72 and presented to gate 74 of sample and hold circuit 70. The gates 68 and 74 are then operated sequentially with 68 operating first; and e,,/e,,,,, is transmitted by time multiplex in a single frame.
In the receiver the transmitted e /e are received, and applied to A to D converter 76 and sampling comparator 78. As the received frame signal comprises e an analog signal may vary from 0 to 63, followed by e,,,,, which is either one or zero. These two signals must be separated. This is done by pulsing the A to D converter to sample only during the first half of a received signal frame. Thus only e is sampled and A to D converted. The output of converter 76 is coupled to adder 80 as is the conjugate of the key. Adder 80 effectively subtracts the key from the converted e, and this output is fed into the first six positions of shift register 82. Sampling comparator 78 is pulsed to sample e,,,,, which is either an analog one or zero and gives a binary output of one or zero which is fed to exclusive OR gate 84. Where e is deciphered by the conjugate of the key. The resulting moduloshift signal is: then entered in the most significant position of register 82. It should be noted that the last stage of registers 82 and 26 (of FIG. 2) are controlled by the modulo shift signal and not by changes of state of the previous stage, i.e., the last stage is in essence a separate stage. The contents of the shift register 82 are now D to A converted by the summing resistors and operation amplifier 86 and presented to gate 88 of sample and hold circuit 90 where the deciphered output e; is sampled at some time after e is sampled; and before the system is cleared for the next bit of data.
Referring now to FIG. 5 which is an analog embodiment similar to FIG. 3 using time multiplex, e, is summed with the seven bit key (six bits key plus one for modulo shift) from shift register in analog adder 102 the output of which is (e, e,-, the dither voltage (which will not be further mentioned). Comparator 104 determines the need for a modulo shift if -(e, e --E Should e, e E then gate 106 closes and allows +E to be added to (e, e,.) in analog adder which effectively subtracts +E,, from e, e to provide a modulo shift. The output of 108 is presnted to gate 110 of sample and hold circuit 112. The most significant bit of the key is used to encipher the modulo shift output of comparator 104 in exclusive OR gate 114. The output of exclusive OR gate 114. The output of exclusive OR gate 114 is presented to gate 133 of sample and hold circuit 134. The output of which is connected to gate 116 of example and hold circuit 112. Gates 110 and 116 are operated sequentially with gate 110 being operated first to sample e for transmission and then gate 116 being operated to sample the encrypted modulo shift e for transmission in the same frame. On reception of the signal at the receiver gate 1 18 of sample and hold circuit 120 opens to allow sampling of e,, and then gate 122 opens the sample supply e,, to exclusive OR gate 124. The modulo shift is deciphered in exclusive OR gate 124, by the most significant bit of the key, which is in shift register 126; and fed to gate 128. Gate 128 supplies +E (modulo shift) to be added if exclusive OR gate 124 output is a one. Key e from shift register 126 is also supplied to inverter 130. Analog adder 132 effectively subtracts e from e and adds in the modulo shift if required and an output is presented at gate 138 of sample and hold circuit 137 which is proportional to e The output of sample and hold circuit 137 being e Gate 138 is opened to sample just after gate 122 has been operated, i.e., during the time e,,., is present.
Thus'it is seen that what is disclosed is a'system for encrypting an analog signal by adding a key, moduloshifting the result, if necessary, encrypting the modulo shift signal and transmitting both the encrypted analog and modulo shift signals.

For more than half a century, the Beazley Foundation has invested millions of dollars into college-bound students and the Virginia colleges and universities they attend.
Last year, the foundation's trustees commissioned a study to check on their investment. What they learned troubled them.
Students at liberal arts schools are not being exposed to a comprehensive core curriculum of classes, the study told them when it was released Jan. 30. And the cost of getting a degree has increased so much that many are priced out of the dream altogether.
The trustees voted to suspend grants to undergraduate liberal arts schools in Virginia until they come up with a plan to ensure the funding goes to the best-performing institutions.

We've been getting a chance to see fairy tale remakes all over the big screen and this year we are in for some great ones. You know those tales you heard from Hans Christian Anderson about characters like Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and stories that end with happy endings for the people in the stories. Once I got older I was able to appreciate those same tales but with the Grimm Brothers twist. Last year there was Mirror, Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman. Mirror, Mirror was more funny and humorous and Snow White and the Huntsman was more action and suspense. Here's a few more great titles to look forward to.
I've been so excited about this and I am so ready to see this movie. From all the previews I've seen it looks like it's going to be amazing. I am surprised that it's a Disney movie, but I can say Disney has been doing movies that's more than just family films and you know when their name is attached it's going to be a blockbuster for sure. I plan to be there opening weekend. There's also a animated film called Dorothy of Oz slated to be released this year. Another movie I'm excited to see is Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. This is the Hansel and Gretel you are used to with candy house. Check out this preview.

Big Sean Goes Public With New Girlfriend Naya Rivera
It looks as though Big Sean could not make it work with his non-industry girlfriend who had been holding him down since high school. He's definitely moved on to someone new.
Last night, he went public with his new girl, Glee star Naya Rivera, at the red carpet premiere of "42" in Los Angeles. The couple arrived holding hands at the TCL Chinese Theatre before goofing off on the red carpet. They were also spotted this weekend enjoying the Rihanna show at the Staples Center, and a few weeks ago, Naya was on hand as Big Sean celebrated his 25th Birthday in LA. Afterward, he shared with his fans:
@nayarivera was in on it too, lookin good… I really had no idea about this…I was at home sick as f-ck!

I actually agree with all this talk about big money wide receivers. And I think there's a possibility that Mike Wallace and Dwayne Bowe became examples 1a and 1b of the danger involved in signing a free agent wide receiver to a big money deal.
But I see Greg Jennings as an EXCEPTION, for a couple of reasons:
1. He's being unfairly discounted for injuries which are not long term damaging
2. He's 29 years old but people are discounting him as if he's 33 years old
3. He knows the system and "grew up" in Joe Philbin's offense, this is a factor not to be understated
4. Brian Hartline is a free agent, putting Miami in position of needing to sign a free agent, even if just to re-sign Hartline
5. There's a strong chance the amount you pay a Greg Jennings is only marginally (~2 mil/yr) more than Hartline
Given all those things, yes I do consider a Hartline-for-Jennings swap to be a worthwhile upgrade. If Brian Hartline is demanding $6 million a year and you are seriously considering paying it, why in holy hell would people not consider paying Greg Jennings $8 million a year instead?
But then, maybe you shouldn't be considering EITHER. Maybe the Dolphins should say goodbye to both Hartline at $6 million a year, and Jennings at $8 million a year. That at least makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than paying Hartline $6 million a year where Jennings may be able to be had for $8 million.

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I was looking at a post earlier today, which got me thinking about the logic of how to collect intersected curves into discrete, closed cells. This got me looking at this post which led me to the excellent codequotidian blog by Trevor Patt and this post, which uses half-edge mesh data structures to sort curve networks. I've been lucky to closely observe Daniel Piker and Will Pearson as they work their magic with Plankton, so I thought I'd take a look at sets of intersecting curves alone to see if a similar approach could organize them effectively. What I've done is a pretty rough workthrough of examining planar curves, blasting them apart based on intersections, and creating sets of "half-curves"...much like half-edges, but these allow for curves of any type to be used for edges in composing faces. I've only done planar curves because calculating angles is the means by which they are sequenced, but I think it'd be possible to also do this for curves on a surface or mesh, with local planes for calculating angles determined according the surface or mesh normals at each vertex.
No doubt the code's pretty ugly, and there'll be bugs. It definitely likes curves that intersect...I haven't resolved how curves that float alone are treated, or if closed curves lie inside of other closed curves...But in any event, here's the code, have a play if you like...and enjoy!

Very impressive work david! And thanks for sharing it. Really Cool.
David, your the man! Thanks for this, I wrote also a really dirty solution, but it takes ages to compute and only works with polylines.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, there is definitely a difference in processing time - a fair price to pay though if you can't code :)
Yes...split surface definitely works, and it's a solution I've used before as well. The primary difference is computational time, really. Splitting a surface gets extremely heavy when you introduce many curves (even with just the few curves in the example definition, splitting curves runs at 868ms versus 18ms for the script...try doing it with a few hundred curves :) ). Likewise, I started this thinking more along the lines of creating regions for curve networks that were near breps/surfaces/meshes...but just threw it together quick last night and kept it in planar space.
Hello, i was wondering why is it necessary to code a VB component if this can be easily done with the standard ones? I remade your def using the split surface in combination with the bounding box and culling the index 0 of the original bounding surface.. seems to do the same thing and less buggier.. yours seems to generate extra surfaces for the regions that are isolated or inside other regions.

For real, though, next time I pick up some snare heads, I'm gonna' get a coated G1 and a 300 to test the waters. I've never liked Evans heads quite as much as Remo on my snare.
That decision was made easier by the fact that my local GC NEVER has regular coated Ambassadors in stock, and I always have to pick up something I really don't want.

Instructing a Child's Heart is essential to Shepherding a Child's Heart. The instruction that you provide for them not only informs their mind; it is directed to persuading their hearts of the wisdom and truthfulness of God's ways. Impress truth on the hearts of your children, not to control or manage them, but to point them to the greatest joy and happiness that they can experience -- delighting in God and the goodness of his ways.
This 13-session seminar (4 DVDs), a foundational complement to Shepherding a Child's Heart, is based on the new book Instructing a Child's Heart, coauthored by Tedd and Margy Tripp. This video set includes Tedd's teaching and an extra video of Tedd and Margy discussing why formative instruction is essential. Also included is a separate CD ROM with the seminar outlined and reviewed in printable PDF format.

With iPads making their way into kindergarten classrooms from Maine to Tennessee, it may seem like a given that American education is embracing technology for the rising generation.
But technology's presence – and effectiveness – varies widely. Just 40 percent of teachers reported that they or their students use computers often during instructional time in a 2010 report by the National Center for Education Statistics.
Organizers of Wednesday's first-ever national Digital Learning Day hope it will inspire more educators, students, and parents to harness new technologies to enhance young people's enthusiasm for learning and help them master key 21st-century skills.
"It is time we stop asking students to 'power down' when they go to school and instead to 'power up' and use their interest in technology as a new way to learn," says Bob Wise, former governor of West Virginia and president of the Alliance for Excellent Education, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C., that spearheaded Wednesday's events.
Thirty-nine states, 15,000 teachers, and 1.7 million students are expected to participate in a series of events and webcasts, including a live national town-hall meeting at 1 p.m., Eastern time, featuring US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski.
During the town hall, schools from Colorado to New Jersey connected via Skype to talk about how they've improved student achievement through comprehensive plans to integrate digital learning tools and train teachers to make the best use of them.

We love us some party people over here at TheFABlife, but occasionally we get too much of a good thing, like seeing Boardwalk Empire's Paz de la Huerta drunkenly flash the paparazzi after failing to get into a Golden Globes afterparty. TMZ has a video of a clearly intoxicated de la Huerta being turned away Chateau Marmont before nearly doing a face plant on the curb. De la Huerta's sober assistant hustles the staggering actress away, but not before he fails to tell the actress that her dress had fallen down in the front…and a big hole had been ripped in the back. Paz's Boardwalk character might strip down for Steve Buscemi at the drop of the hat, but drunkenly spilling out of your dress within 500 yards of the Hollywood Foreign Press? Not our idea of a good time.
This isn't the first time Paz has caused a bit of a scene. From posing nude to discussing her sex life in public, Paz definitely seems like a free spirit. Let's hope that if she continues to be this free, she'll hire somebody who knows enough to yank her gown back up after she takes a nose dive.

Special Protection for Special Places
Visitors to Yosemite National Park are the park's most important guardians. With Yosemite's nearly four million people watching over its special plants, animals, historic, and archeological sites, imagine how well-protected these park resources could be!During your visit to Yosemite, be aware that there are people who either intentionally or unknowingly harm park resources. Please contact a park official if you see any of the following illegal acts:
If you see activities that could harm people or park resources, jot down any descriptions or a vehicle license plate number and contact the park dispatch office at 209/379-1992; if someone's life is in danger, call 911. See below for more park regulations.
Keep Wildlife Wild
Respect animals at a distance: never feed or approach them.
Some visitors choose to bring pets along on their vacations. In Yosemite, pets have a few rules to follow.
Each season, plants are crushed from bicycle travel in meadows, campgrounds, and picnic areas. Please respect park resources and keep bicycles on paved roads and paved trails.They are not allowed to travel off-trail, on unpaved trails, or in wilderness areas. Mountain biking opportunities are available in designated areas outside of Yosemite. Bicyclists under 18 years of age must wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet.
Hiking and Climbing Safety
If you will be hiking or climbing, please read our hiking safety and climbing safety pages.
Traffic Safety
Traveling through Yosemite by car, bus, or bicycle provides a wonderful opportunity to slow down and enjoy the park 's incredible scenery. When traveling on park roads you can protect yourself, other visitors, and park wildlife by observing the following simple rules:
Success! Five years ago, many areas along the Merced River showed signs of human trampling.The soil was bare and heavily eroded. Now, because of the careful actions of visitors and park staff, many of these areas have been restored to more natural conditions.The plants, birds, insects, and animals that depend on living in or near the water have been able to return to these once barren areas.
You can help continue this progress by entering and exiting the river at designated launch and removal points, and by taking breaks on rocky, sandy beaches or point bars. Packing out what you pack in will also help keep the river free from trash and prevent animals from swallowing harmful plastic or aluminum. Please observe the following safety tips to protect Yosemite's river and lakeshore habitats and to safely enjoy water activities throughout the park.
Other Environmental Hazards
Air Delivery and Unmanned Aircraft
Public Health
While visiting Yosemite, it's possible (though unlikely) that you could be exposed to a variety of vector-borne diseases, such as hantavirus or Lyme disease. Other public health issues in Yosemite relate to air and water quality,

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian: literary techniques?
I'm currently doing a essay on belonging that is explored in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie-any literacy texts I can use to back up?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Alexie's autobigraphical character in Part-Time Indian struggles moving from one culture into another and finding that acceptance or belonging to which you have referred. Pip in Great Expectations too works to move from one culture to another socioeconomically.
If you are organizing a literary analysis paper that compares this theme, you might pick three ways the authors both do that in these two works: characterization (which shows the change in each over time), plot development (focus on the complications in the rising action of both... it makes the reader feel compassion for the unaccepted character), and setting (living conditions for characters as they strive for belonging).
Great Expectations is a tough read and would impress your teacher. But, for time's sake another text to consider is Speak by Leslie Halse Anderson. It is more contemporary work and a quick read.

Gear Review
Not breathable...
These shorts do not breath at all had to return them. At one point I had to look down at my crotch to see if it was actually on fire. The waterproof back panel is not needed and causes them to over heat trapping in moisture.

Thank you so much for doing this blog! I recently purchased a stonewave to make my one person lunches. When my kids are at school I tend not to east very healthy because I don't want to mess up a bunch of pots or pans just for me. My stonewave has really helped with that and the more recipes for it the better.
Jessica Marie Johnson says :
venison omelette
3 tbsp leftover venison
2 tbsp onion diced
1/4 cup diced fried potatoes
3tbsp cheddar cheese (optional)
2 large eggs
Whisk 2 large eggs in bowl and add all ingredients together. Pour directly into Stone Wave Cooker and Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
This is the most delicious omelette I have ever eaten! So moist and tender, everyone should try this at least once!
Etcumspiri Twotwoo says :
Thank you everyone for all the new recipes. Stone Wave's few recipes included in it's packaging of product leaves a lot to be desired. Haven't used the Stone Wave Cooker yet (Christmas present) but am looking forward to trying it after finding all these recipes. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute to the recipes in the future.
Elisabeth Skaggs says :
My son is hospitalized currently and not wanting to spend a lot of money eating out we bought two of the cookers since we have access to a microwave. Tonight we made an apple cake with chocolate drizzle and a scoop of ice cream on top to celebrate Valentine's Day. Amazing! We can't wait to try other recipes.

I've added Captures from Tuesday's Underemployed. I could not stop laughing at Miles after Lou revealed that he ended up shooting in all of HIS balls so in the end he in fact won the match…. not Miles. Fun times with Viv & the gang. Loved Sophia and Raviva being a part of Daphne's focus group and Daphne trying to get in on more so she can earn some quick cash. I'm now on the outs with Lou after what he did to Viv and what he apparently will continue to do next week… she and the baby deserve better.

CRESTVIEW — Tony Taylor was sworn in Monday morning as the Hub City's police chief during a ceremony at Warrior's Hall in the George Whitehurst Municipal building. Many uniformed officers were on hand to welcome their new chief, along with many of Taylor's family members and former colleagues.
Mayor David Cadle opened the ceremony by addressing the officers.
"This is the beginning of a new era for this department," Cadle said. Following his comments, the police chaplain Mark Broadhead gave the opening prayer.
Taylor was then sworn in by Cadle to begin his first day as police chief. Taylor addressed his officers and assured them that he believed in teamwork.
"Let me put your minds at ease," he said. "I'm going to be a part of this department, not apart from this department. I want to get to know you all."
After Taylor's remarks, City Councilman Charles Baugh spoke on behalf of the city council and welcomed Taylor and his wife of seven years, Lilia.
"It is very fitting that we have this ceremony in the Warrior's Hall, because the officers are the warriors of our city," Baugh said.
