When standing, children see things from a totally different perspective: Right at eye level with playmates, they can participate actively while being supported by our standing frame.
The Standing Frame for Children is specially designed to permit safe and stable standing. Now children can stand at eye level with their friends and experience their environment in a whole new way. At the same time, their sense of balance is stimulated through pressure on the reflex zones on the surface of the feet. The Standing Frame can improve spatial orientation. Shortening of the muscles, contractures, spasms and circulatory problems are also prevented.
A key feature of our Standing Frame for Children is that it does not need to be attached to the wall. The Standing Frame rests on four wheels so that it can be moved to any indoor or outdoor location with an even surface. Children can stand anywhere they like and become more integrated into family life.
The height of the footplate can be individually aligned with a children's wheelchair. This eliminates the need for transferring the child back to the wheelchair and significantly reduces the strain on parents. The Standing Frame allows children to stand up and sit down as independently as possible. The basic model comes with support bars and pads. As soon as the child begins to stand up, the strap rewinder locks the right and left strap in any position. The child is held securely and may rest or reposition his or her hands and then gradually stand up.
The optional electric strap rewinder helps children with reduced arm strength stand up. The two systems give the child precisely the support he or she needs. Healthy body functions are efficiently utilized and promoted. Thanks to additional accessories such as swiveling pads, upper body supports or headrests, the Standing Frame can be adapted to meet different requirements and clinical pictures. The Standing Frame is suitable for children 120 to 150 centimeters tall.

Bahrain had been amongst the first nations to embrace Islam. This was done via the sending of the Prophet Mohammed(PBUH)'s representative Al-Ala'a Al-Hadhrami. Bahrain was thought to have embraced Islam in 629 AD. During the Caliphate of Umar I, the companion of the Prophet , Abu Huraiya was appointed as the governor of Bahrain.
Local legends here say he came to Bahrain , a man with no proper shoes or sandals, and had left with pearls and items that were fit for a mighty governor (or even king). .
The Al Khamis Mosque, one of the earliest mosques in the region, was built in 692 AD. And (as wikipedia says it) The expansion of Islam did not affect Bahrain's reliance on trade, and its prosperity continued to be dependent on markets in Mesopotamia. After Baghdad emerged as the seat of the caliph in 750 and the main centre of Islamic civilization, Bahrain greatly benefited from the city's increased demand for foreign goods especially from China and South Asia.
|Al Khamis Mosque
During the early Islamic period, Bahrain had become a centre for spiritual knowledge and Islamic Scholarships in the Middle Eastern region, attracting would-be Clerics from all reaches of the region including Yemen and Egypt.
Perhaps, the most notable of all Bahraini clerics was Sheikh Maitham Al Bahrani (died in 1299). (The mosque of Sheikh Maitham and his tomb can be visited in the outskirts of the capital, Manama, near the district of Mahooz).
Sheikh Bahrani was a leading Shia Twelver Scholar, the sort that were normally oppressed in other regions (but the Mongols took care of the Abbassids , if I recall correctly ) , he had been known to be an advocate of Rationalism and was widely associated with Philosophy at the time.
He is known to have written widely on such theology related philosophical issues as epistimology and ontology.
But before this Islamic Golden Age of Bahrain had occurred , a very dark and , as one contemporary account describes it, a "Century of Terrorism". The Rise of the Qarmatians.
The Qarmatian Republic:
To begin with, the Qarmatians were self-proclaimed Ismailis (a Shia branch) from the Khuzestan region (SW) of Persia and from around Kufa. Except, they practically weren't, They were radicals or thought to be break-away radicals from the Fatamid Dynasty. In the 3rd Hijri Century (899 AD, approx.), they had launched the Qarmatian revolution in the Bahrain region (Which at the time, also included Eastern Arabia).
The leader, Abu Sa'id al-Hasan al-Janaby, tried to make a Utopian society in the region and had reasoned that he planned to build a society based on reason and equality. The state was governed by a council of six with a chief who was a first among equals.
All property within the community was distributed evenly among all initiates. The Qarmatians were organized as an esoteric society but not as a secret one; their activities were public and openly propagated, but new members had to undergo an initiation ceremony involving seven stages. The Qarmatian world view was one where every phenomenon repeated itself in cycles, where every incident was replayed over and over again.
However, the thing that made them so horrible was that they had used Bahrain as a raiding base. True it is, the Qarmatians launced deadly raids on the unsuspecting caravans of Arabia, often being pilgrim caravans. In the year 906 AD, A devastating assault on a caravan was thought to have led to atleast 20,000 casualties. Under the brutal rule of Abu Tahir Al-Jannabi they came close to capturing Baghdad in 923 and sacked Mecca in 930. The sacking of Mecca signified their official breakage from Islam.
Unable to gain entry to the city initially, Abu Tahir called upon the right of all Muslims to enter the city and gave his oath that he came in peace. Once inside, his troops set upon massacring the citizens and pilgrims of Mecca, killing pilgrims and dumping their bodies into the Zam Zam as well as desecrating other holy sites. Tahir even stole the Black Stone, a sacred part of the Kaaba of Mecca, from Mecca and had brought it to Bahrain.
This was a complete embarrassment for the Abbasids , they were the masters of the Islamic Caliphate and their most sacred city had been sacked. On the other hand, The attack on Mecca symbolized the Qarmatians' break with the Islamic world – it was believed to have been aimed to prompt the appearance of the Mahdi who would bring about the final cycle of the world and end the era of Islam. Tahir had soon set about the burning of all religious texts, Muslims and Christian alike, as well as instituting the worship of fire (He was believed to have secretly been a Zorastarian).
According to historian Al-Juwayni, the Stone was returned twenty-three years later, in 952. The Qarmatians held the Black Stone for ransom, and forced the Abbasids to pay a huge sum for its return.
It was wrapped in a sack and thrown into the Friday Mosque of Kufa, accompanied by a note saying "By command we took it, and by command we have brought it back." Its abduction and removal caused further damage, breaking the stone into seven pieces.
Its abductor, Abu Tahir, is said to have met a terrible fate; according to Qutb al-Din, "the filthy Abu Tahir was afflicted with a gangrenous sore, his flesh was eaten away by worms, and he died a most terrible death." It was believed that he died of Smallpox. The Abbasids later crushed the Qarmatian republic. Soon after, its citizens tried to forget its ways and had adopted the quieter life of Twelver Shia Islam.
And now, the Dark Age of Bahrain has subsided and the Golden Enlightment age has begun!
I'm open to all criticism or feed backs.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/617,518, filed on Oct. 8, 2004. The entire teachings of the above application(s) are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a non-reusable identification device that may be used to identify persons or articles.
The present invention relates to an identification device that may be used to identify persons or articles, and more particularly to a mechanism for preventing reuse of the identification device.
Disposable bracelets have long been used for such things as identification, access control, and age verification, among other purposes. Such bracelets have typically been made from materials such as polyester, paper, or vinyl. The physical presence of a bracelet of particular color or design is traditionally used as a function identifier. For example, colored bracelets have been used in theme parks to quickly and uniquely identify patrons who have already paid for admission, or to control access to restricted areas. For example, a patron of legal drinking age may be given a bracelet of a certain color to indicate that the patron is old enough to access restricted areas such as beer sales areas, as compared to another bracelet good for admission only.
In recent years, such bracelets have been augmented with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. RFID extends the usefulness of such bracelets, as they can each be programmed with a unique code that quickly and easily identifies the wearer. RFID also adds new functionality to such bracelets. As one example, it can be used to located the wearer, with the installation of appropriate radio location equipment. A lost child wearing an RFID bracelet can thus be easily found, prevented from leaving an amusement park unless accompanied by an authorized adult, or even prevented from gaining access to restricted areas.
RFID bracelets are also used to allow the purchase of items without the exchange of currency or need for a credit/debit card. They can also be used to allow secure communication and monetary exchange among patrons (for example, a parent may authorize credit of funds to a child to allow a purchase up to a preselected amount). Upon entering a park or other venue, a patron can request that the bracelet issued to the patron or the patron's family members be credited for purchases up to a preselected amount. Purchases up to the preselected amount can then be made using the bracelet instead of using cash or credit/debit cards. The bracelet can also be coded so that a wearer would be prevented from making certain purchases, or from making a single purchase above a chosen limit, so that children, for example, are encouraged to spend their allotted funds wisely.
RFID bracelets of the type described above are most often made as inexpensive as possible, so as to be disposable. However, such bracelets are susceptible to misuse and unauthorized use. Some bracelets are easy to remove, yet still function after removal. A bracelet that still functions after it has been removed provides the opportunity for patrons to exchange bracelets. This could provide patrons with the opportunity to give access to a restricted area to an unauthorized patron. A patron issued an "adult" bracelet that allows access to beer sales, for example, could remove and give or sell that bracelet to a patron not of legal drinking age. As another example, a discarded bracelet that still has funds credited to it could be retrieved and used by an unauthorized individual to purchase goods or services using someone else's account.
A bracelet that is rendered non-functional after removal destroys its value for transfer to another patron, and would safeguard against unauthorized use of bracelets.
A number of mechanical measures have been taken to prevent such bracelets from being transferred. One approach is a single-use locking button mechanism found on some plastic bracelets. An example of this approach is found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,973,600.
Also known are adhesive locking mechanisms with slits that prevent the wearer from peeling the adhesive back and reattaching it. An example of that approach is found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,474,557.
Those mechanisms render tampering with the lock or adhesive obvious to a visual inspection of the bracelet and, in most cases, render the bracelet unwearable after removal. However, tampering with the band portion of the bracelet is not prevented by those mechanisms. It is still possible for the bracelet to be cut or torn away from the locking mechanism, and reattached with a simple piece of transparent tape or glue. To detect this sort of tampering, the person checking the bracelet would need to either make a full visual inspection of the bracelet or tug very firmly on the bracelet. This is slow, inconvenient, and impractical, especially when large numbers of people require identification. Furthermore, such a visual inspection is subject to human error, the most obvious being the failure of the bracelet checker to perform adequate inspection.
Thus, RFID technologies have made the process of identifying the bracelet wearer faster and more secure. However, these can also lead to complacency among those responsible for inspecting bracelets, and has a tendency to reduce the likelihood that the person checking the bracelet wearer will perform an adequate visual or physical inspection for tampering.
Special electronic bracelets that prevent transferability for ensuring that hospital patients or prisoners remain within a given proximity of their quarters are known. However, such designs are prohibitively bulky, expensive, and overly complex for use in high-volume applications with short-term use. As a result, they would not be disposable; i.e., not commercially viable for use in high volume bracelets. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,471,197 and 5,374,921 disclose the use of fiber optics to ensure that the bracelet is not removed. U.S. Pat. No. 6,144,303 describes a capacitive coupling between the bracelet and the wearer's skin. When the capacitance changes, indicating bracelet removal, an alarm is tripped. However, the methods and devices disclosed in those patents are unnecessarily complex and prohibitively expensive for disposable use.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,973,944 and 4,980,671 describe bracelets with DC current paths that run around the bracelet and form a closed circuit when the ends of the bracelet are brought together. This method involves complications when attempting to use it with conventional disposable bracelet designs, as it requires a large metal contact area to enable size adjustment of the bracelet. It also does not necessarily solve the problem of tampering because such bracelets are designed to activate an alarm when removed, not necessarily to prevent reattachment. The metal to metal contact surfaces could be easily reattached on a limb of a different user.
Certain prior art disposable identification bands have been made tamper resistant by including a disabling wire in the band. For example, in a co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/400,049 on Mar. 26, 2003 by Girvin, J., and Lerch, J., entitled "Non-Reusable Identification Device", assigned to Proximities, Inc., the assignee of the present application, a disabling wire is run along the band and is arranged to disable an RFID transponder if the wire is cut. However, it could be reassembled to function on the wrist of another wearer.
Accordingly, an anti-tamper device which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art is desired.
The present invention is an identification device formed from a band of material and a non-reusable tamper-resistant fastening arranged to join opposite end regions of the band. In one preferred embodiment, a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transponder is disposed on the band. The transponder includes an RFID circuit, such as may be formed on an integrated circuit (IC) made of silicon or organic semiconductors, and an antenna. A first electrically conductive trace is coupled to the RFID circuit and forms at least a first part of a connection between an antenna and the RFID circuit. A second electrically conductive trace is coupled to the RFID circuit and forms at least a second part of a connection between an antenna and the RFID circuit. The first and second traces are arranged such that the RFID circuit becomes disabled when the first and second electrically conductive traces come in contact with one another.
In a preferred, non-limiting embodiment, the first conductive trace may be an electrically conductive loop, and the second conductive trace may be an open wire. The conductive traces may then be arranged relative to each other such that an attempted repair of a cut in the band, such as with solder or tin foil, necessarily creates a connection between the first and second conductive traces, which disables the RFID transponder.
In a preferred non-limiting embodiment, the electrically conductive traces are typically run in parallel and in close proximity to one another, along substantially the entire length of the band. In another preferred embodiment, the traces at least partially overlap one another, with an insulating dielectric disposed between them.
In other such non-limiting embodiments, a frangible tab is formed on a periphery of the band. The frangible tab includes a wire coupling the first and second electrical traces, such that the RFID circuit will not function until the tab is removed. It will be clear to one skilled in the art that this embodiment may coexist with the previously described circuit arrangement.
A description of preferred embodiments of the invention follows.
Reference is made to
In one embodiment, locking mechanism 18 includes a flap 28 formed at first end 14 of the elongated band 12, a barbed peg 20 and a locking hole 21 in flap 28 for receiving barbed peg 20. At least one adjustment hole 24 is disposed towards second end 16 of band 12. Adjustment holes 24 are sized to receive barbed peg 20 therethrough.
During use, elongated band 12 is wrapped around a portion of the wearer's body (preferably a wrist). When first and second ends 14, 16 are brought together in an overlapping relation, barbed peg 20 is arranged to pass through a selected adjustment hole 24 as required for a snug fit. Flap 28 is then folded along imaginary fold line 26 and barbed peg 20 is then passed through locking hole 21. In this way, bracelet 10 may be adjusted to snugly conform to body parts of different users, preventing removal without tampering in the first instance.
Peg 20 is shaped to resist removal from said locking hole 21 without also destroying the locking mechanism 18 and rendering it incapable of being refastened. Alternatively, or in addition, adjustment holes 24 may be designed to replace or supplement locking hole 21 by configuring them in such a way that attempts to remove the bracelet by unfastening barbed peg 20 would also destroy adjustment hole 24, thereby disabling the bracelet and rendering it incapable of being refastened.
Bracelet 10 also includes a transponder 32. Transponder 32 contains an antenna 30 and an RFID integrated circuit (IC) chip 22. Transponder 32 receives a radio frequency (RF) interrogation signal, and in response thereto, emits an RF signal representative of information pre-stored or pre-programmed into RFID chip 22. For example, the information could include the date bracelet 10 is issued, the date bracelet 10 expires and will no longer allow access, the age status of the wearer, and whether bracelet 10 can be used for purchasing goods or services. Any other desired information, depending on the context in which the bracelet is to be used, may be pre-stored or pre-programmed in the transponder or in a database associated with the interrogation signal source. The signal may be used to access information stored in the database.
Transponder 32 is passive and derives its power, as known in the art, from the energy of the incoming signal at antenna 30. In the preferred non-exemplary embodiment, the antenna 30 is a continuous electrically conductive coil heretofore a "loop" antenna.
Multiple tamper wires 34 are electronically coupled to transponder 32 and complete a transponder circuit. Tamper wires 34 extend along elongated band 12 away from transponder 32. Tamper wires 34 form an electrically conductive path, from antenna 30 out to end 16 and back to antenna 30, along substantially the entire length of the band 12. As will be explained in detail below, the tamper wires 34 are arranged to connect the components of transponder 32 and/or form portions of the components themselves in a predetermined configuration, such that wires 34 must remain intact for the transponder 32 to operate.
In the embodiment of
Tamper wires 34 are preferably, by way of non-limiting example, made from printed conductive ink that is robust enough to withstand bending and twisting associated with normal handling but fragile enough that it will be broken if a user attempts to remove bracelet 10. Alternatively, tamper wires 34 may be a thin gauge wire such as copper wire, a thin foil, or other suitable electrically conductive material that will form an electrically continuous path but will break as a result of an unintended use or tampering. Forming tamper wires 34 with frangible zones, where stresses from tampering attempts are most likely to occur, may facilitate breakage of tamper wire 34, opening the antenna circuit, preventing further use. Of course, if the user attempts to remove bracelet 10 with a cutting implement, the conductor forming tamper wires 34 will also be severed as elongated band 12 is severed, again opening the circuit.
Here, tamper wires 34 are provided as three conductive traces 400, 401 and 402. A first conductive trace 400 runs from circuit node 303 along elongated band 12 towards second end 16, along adjustment holes 24. A second conductive trace 401 is conductively coupled to RFID chip 22 at a third circuit node 304. Conductive trace 401 runs from circuit node 304 out along elongated band 12. A third conductive trace 402 runs from circuit node 302 along elongated band 12 towards second end 16 along adjustment holes 24. By referencing the fact that various traces 400, 401, and 402 run along elongated band 12, it should be understood that the traces could either run all the way to second end 16 of elongated band 12 and/or stop at some point along elongated band 12 or be routed anywhere on the band, such as around adjustment holes 24, by way of non-limiting example.
It is important to recognize that because various conductive traces 400, 401, and 402 are part of the transponder circuitry in this embodiment, they must be connected in a particular way in order for RFID transponder 32 to operate. Specifically, loop antenna 30 will only be connected to RFID chip 22 if trace 401 is also connected to trace 402 to complete the circuit between them. The circuit path is that shown by arrow A. Likewise, the RFID function will only be enabled if trace 400 is not connected to either trace 401 or trace 402. If either of these conditions is not true, then the circuit will be either open or shorted and RFID chip 22 will not receive power or a signal, and bracelet 10 will cease to function. The shorted circuit path is that shown by arrow B. Antenna 30 is removed from the circuit.
We thus also refer herein to conductive trace 400 as a shorting wire, since it must remain in an electrically open state, without contacting other traces 401 or 402 to avoid shorting the circuitry of RFID chip 22. Similarly, we refer herein to conductive traces 401 and 402 as disabling wires, since if they do not remain intact, the circuit opens and RFID transponder 32 will not function.
During use, if elongated band 12 is cut, torn or otherwise broken to remove it from one wearer to give to another, trace wires 401 and 402 become disrupted opening the circuit and disabling transponder 32. The electric circuit must be reestablished. This is done by soldering or bridging the circuit with new conductive material. These processes are not very exact and often require heat. Traces 401, 402 are situated sufficiently close to shorting wire 400 so that the solder, foil or even the repairer's attempts at replacement of elongated band 12 will bring shorting wire 401 in conductive contact with either of traces 401 and 402. In the preferred embodiment, the distance is between 1 mm and 2 mm.
If shorting wire 400 is shorted to, for example, disabling wire 401 during an attempted repair of a cut band such as with solder or tin foil, then the short across RFID chip 22 will prevent current from flowing between the loop antenna 30 and RFID chip 22. In other words, for transponder 32 to function, current must not flow in the circuit path as shown by arrow B.
Likewise, if the disabling wires 401 and 402 are disconnected from one another, the circuit will be open and current will not be allowed to flow between the terminals of loop antenna 30 and RFID chip 22. In other words, current must flow in the circuit path of arrow A for transponder 32 to function. The positioning of traces 400, 401 and 402 is such that repair of the open circuit will result in a short circuit as discussed above.
Reference is now made to
Therefore, in order to enable the operation of elongated band 12, frangible tab 500 is broken off, thus leaving only the portions of elongated band 12 intact that are below perforation 505. This causes a break in shorting wire 400 opening its connection to disabling wire 401. This, in turn, enables the RFID function to operate, i.e., thereby allowing current to flow to RFID chip 22 since it is no longer shorted.
It should be understood that various other uses can be made of frangible tab 500 and tamper wires 34 to enable and/or disable the band as needed. For example, if at least a portion of disabling wire 401 were instead run on frangible tab 500, the RFID function would be enabled until the frangible tab was broken off, at which point its function would cease. In another embodiment, frangible tab 500 is located at a distal end of elongated band 12, thereby enabling shorting wire 400 to initially disable the RFID function.
Reference is now made to
In the configuration shown, for example, a first disabling wire 401 runs along the length of the band closely encircling the top portions of adjustment holes 24. Also running along the length of the band adjacent and in close proximity to disabling wire 401 is a first shorting wire 400-1. Similarly, on a bottom portion of elongated band 12, second disabling wire 402 runs along the band adjacent to the bottom portions of adjustment holes 24. A second shorting wire 400-2 is run along the length of the band adjacent and in close proximity to disabling wire 402.
This configuration provides further protection against an attempted repair by increasing the likelihood that placing a piece of tin foil or other conductor across a perpendicular cut made in the band creates a short circuit. If the attempted repair shorts any of the shorting wires 400 against any of the disabling wires 401 or 402, the transponder 32 will cease to operate as discussed above.
Reference is now made to
Upon a punch-through of one of adjustment holes 24, such as by installing elongated band 12 around a person's wrist, and then inserting peg 20 through adjustment hole 24, peg 20, passing through adjustment hole 24 breaks shorting wire 400. This break in the conductivity between shorting wire 400 and the peripheral enabling wires 401 and 402 will thus reopen the connection, thereby enabling the transponder 32 to function.
In a preferred non-limiting embodiment, adjustment holes 24 are closed at time of manufacture. The positioning of the holes is determined by perforations within band 12. Therefore, material is present across adjustment hole 24 at time of manufacture which may be easily removed as a result of the perforations. In this way, support is provided for shorting wire 400 to prevent inadvertent breakage.
Reference is now made to
Reference is now made to
It is noted that in the example, shorting wire 400 and disabling wire 401 are shown in parallel. However, the wires can be in relative positioning to intersect each other at 90� angles or anywhere in between. What is required is that at least a portion of shorting wire 400 and disabling wire 401 overlay each other with insulating layer 710 sandwiched therebetween. As a result, insulator 710 need only be applied to areas where shorting wire 400 overlaps other wires within the transponder 32 circuitry. Because shorting wire 400 will carry no current while there is no connection to another part of transponder 32, the capacitive impact of this overlap will be minimal. Once shorting wire 400 becomes connected with disabling wire 401, or any other conductive portion of transponder 32, such as in an attempt to repair cut traces, not only is RFID chip 22 (not pictured) short-circuited, but a substantial capacitance is introduced to the circuit, which will in turn detune the antenna.
Insulator 700 is preferably applied as a thin coat of material, such that it is likely to melt, tear, or otherwise break down during an attempt at repairing a broken trace.
Shorting wire 400 may partially overlap disabling wire 401, overlap multiple disabling wires, or lie underneath disabling wire 401. Preferably, shorting wire 401 will overlap at least one disabling wire with some additional margin.
It should be understood now that we have explained but a few of the possible embodiments, and that other arrangements of loops and of shorting wires can be used to accomplish the objectives of the invention.
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.

When a Mountain Lion Quickly Stops Being a Hazard
I've never started a post thinking, "Man, I bet PETA is going to hate this stuff," but I've also never seen a story about a mountain lion on a golf course and the best, err, way to remove it from the premises.
But leave it up to Arizona*! In Prescott, a mountain lion was near the 9th hole, and after concerned residents called the Arizona Game and Fish Department, well, the problem ceased to exist.
Wildlife Officer Virginia Gouldsbury returned and shot the lion with a tranquilizer dart, but it climbed higher in the tree. She and two other armed wildlife officers stood at the base of the tree to keep the lion from running toward golfers.
They called the Prescott Fire Department for help with a ladder truck to get a better angle on the lion before shooting another dart.
After the lion fell, they took it out of town and killed it.
I mean, really? You have to kill the damn thing? I know it might pose a threat, but aren't YOU posing a threat on IT when you shoot the animal with tranquilizers?!
I'm not necessarily Captain PC, but I don't really think killing some animal just because it's disturbing the lady nine hole league is the right move. Isn't the Game Department supposed to, I don't know, help out the game?!
Alright, I'm off to play nine holes in Scottsdale. Hopefully a Dalmatian doesn't try to walk in front of the cart path or else I'll have to call Fish and Game and see if they'll run it over with a bulldozer.
* - I live in Arizona, and 100 percent completely and understandably get the jokes about this state, and stuff like this is exactly why.

Gear Review
It's a Bivy.
Why does buying a bivy seem like such a hassle? So I bought this one and I tried it one night. I woke up hot, stuffy and panting. Let's call it 'freak out mode'. This thing may be bomber and all, but it really isn't for me. I wanted a bivy for sea kayaking when there isn't a good place to put up a hammock. The only way I could see using this thing and not freaking out in the middle of the night is if the wind was blowing and you could get consistent fresh air. I think I will just use it under my MSR Zing wing, having that extra level of protection from the elements and using the bug screen to keep the mosquitos at bay. The only negative I found with the actual bivy was the fact it isn't high enough when I sleep on my side. the top pole was against my shoulder the whole night making rolling over a hassle.

We have a feeling security's going to get beefed up on the show very quickly.

So I had that new one and I wasn't yet concious of who he was but we were in the court and we had to decide who where receives and who serves as 1st. So I turn back and I see Roger
but in my dream or he wasn't the GOAT or I wasn't concious of it. But he seemed to be more a my level player that I as good as he is
He wasn't able to decide who to serve and I remember I was telling him that we have to serve one time he and one time me and that it was better him to start because as a man he had few possibilities to be broken
even he played not so bad tennis as his tactical ideas
Of all this I have only a flash and not a clear image. Just the idea of what happened
After I remember I was at the net and he at the baseline.
In that part of the dream he seemed so real as he all was reality
When sometimes I turned back to see what was he doing (all about the game) I noticed (I didn't know it yet in the dream
) how handsome he was and all his charm was amazing me. So I knew I had to focus more on the match and not on him but his presence was instigating and terminating me
Unfortunately than I woke up
and all finished but whit this nice sensation. I still continue thinking of it smiling
BTW. Today I played a nice double match with another partner
but anyway I had a lot of fun.
We played a great shots and I could sign some of them.
Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had dreams this vivid. Well I do, but I don't dream about nice things like Roger.

I'm the reporter who wrote this item up. bianca22096 is correct. It was the Marion Champlin Seltzer school. Marion-Sterling is on the other side of town. Thanks for your keen eye.
Hello. I wrote today's story about Jory. It's good to see all the warm feelings for him expressed in the comments here.
I heard from an astute reader this afternoon who raised a question about the number of strings on Jory's guitar. In the story, I wrote that he was playing a 12-string guitar; in the picture he was playing a six-string guitar. The reader wondered if I'd made a mistake.
Unfortunately, hard as I try, I am prone to mistakes like everyone else. But in this case the story was accurate.
Jory had two guitars at the performance last night. One had 12 strings; the other had six. In the picture he was playing the six-string guitar. When playing the Beatles' "Let It Be," he played the 12-string guitar.
I am the reporter who wrote this story.
I can understand the reaction so far to Ted Batchelor's attempt to break the world record for the most people set on fire at a time. However, I did not anticipate this sort of attack on him, and my reaction was different.
Batchelor and his crew took every precaution possible. This is the sort of stunt that we seen performed in movies so often. (At least before the use of computer graphics.)
Again, I can understand how some people would criticize Ted, and I certainly respect everyone's right to their opinion, regardless of whether they agree with me.
But, if I may, let me share my view: I find something moving and even inspirational in individuals who nurture and follow dreams as long as their dreams do not demean or cause harm to others. I had a great time interviewing, interacting with and watching Ted. He is a charismatic man and, as best I can tell, has a great degree of concern for the safety of others, integrity and character.
Thanks to you all for taking the time to read this story and to comment on it, and also for hearing me out.
Thanks for the compliment on the story, dumdum102. Much appreciated.
- Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter.
sillys000 - You're the first person I've seen comment who was affected by this particular crime, as opposed to the rest of us members of society who were indirectly impacted by this crime like all others. The glimpse you provide into how this crime affected you as a girl is insightful and much appreciated. - Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
By his use of "shut your hole," it is clear that HaywoodMatthews is not looking for intelligent discussion. But for anyone who may be, his view of how things work at The Plain Dealer is uninformed and incorrect. First, unlike some papers, The Plain Dealer does not use the title of "senior writer." Second, if anyone had been seriously injured or killed during Ted Batchelor's burns, I would have written the story, much as I have written dozens of other tragic stories, including the line-of-duty deaths of police officers and numerous murder victims.
Good story, Mark. Enjoyed it.
We have some long, in-depth comments here. Glad to see this story has you all talking. - Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
jar65, You must have me confused with somoene else. I was not on the 90.3 show to which you refer. - Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
jar65, Thanks for responding. Glad we got that cleared up. Hope to see you weigh in on other stories I write. Now that we've exchanged messages, I'll keep an eye out for you. - Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
Farm Girl, I just saw this comment before clocking out. Glad you liked it. -Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter

aeg89t - I can't answer all of your questions, but I looked Patrolman Hooks up in the city's payroll. The most recent data I have available was for 2008. He was slated for $52,864.92. That would not include any overtime or secondary jobs may have worked. It does not appear that Hooks worked much overtime. Payroll data for 2007, which does include overtime, lists his pay for the year at $53,000.61.
- Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
Montgomery, I can't answer your question about mug shots in terms of all of the posts on the site, but I can share what I know. Sometimes police send out press releases about arrests and/or crimes along with mug shots. In other cases, reporters request them. The speed with which these requests are filled vary from agency to agency, day to day. When we get those mug shots, we share them with the public. In the case of Patrolman Donnie Hooks, I didn't get a mug shot of him. I apologize for not knowing everything about this case, but I am not sure one exists. The docket on the Web site of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court says Hooks was arrested Oct. 1 and immediately made bail. In some cases, at least in some departments, defendants are never processed. I just filed a records request for Hooks' mug shot. If I get one, I will include it in the next story or see if I can update the entry to this post. Hope this explanation helps.
- Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
Montomery, Hooks was assigned to the schools BEFORE his arrest. Technically speaking, he probably still is. But he hasn't been to work in more than a month. He has taken off on medical leave. I don't have any details about his condition. Hope this helps. (By the way, I just saw one of your comments on another story. Good seeing you around here.) - Gabriel Baird, Plain Dealer reporter
Several readers asked for a mug shot of Patrolman Donnie Hooks. The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office provided one today. I add it to the post.

I'm the reporter who wrote this story. I've noticed that crime and gloom-and-doom stories always draw comments, but sometimes human-interest stories don't generate as much chatter. Hempster, thank you for getting the comments started here. I understand your having reservations about me and the paper, but despite that you applauded Nate for his work. I appreciate it. And Nate deserves it. People who do good things make the world a better place.

A headlamp system for an automotive vehicle is provided having a light source generating light, a reflector, a generally transparent light shield, an electrostatic shutter and a lens. The light shield has a surface and laterally displaced edges. The reflector has a predetermined relationship with the light shield and the light source and directs a portion of light from the light source to the surface of the light shield. The electrostatic shutter means is adjacent the surface of the light shield to selectively blocking a portion of the light from the light source. A lens between the light shield and the image surface directs light passing the light shield.
1. A headlamp system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
a light source for generating light;
a reflector positioned to receive light from the light source and redirect the light in a predetermined direction;
a lens adapted to receive a portion of light traveling in the predetermined direction for projecting light externally of the vehicle;
a transparent light shield positioned intermediate the reflector and the lens having an imaging surface; and
a plurality of electrostatic shutters disposed on the transparent light shield for selectively blocking a portion of the light traveling in the predetermined direction from traveling through the transparent light shield, each electrostatic shutter having:
a transparent electrically conductive layer adjacent the light shield;
a transparent dielectric layer adjacent the conductive layer; and
a metallized polymer scroll having one end adapted to be electrically energized.
This application is related to commonly assigned patent application Ser. No. 08/566,520 filed concurrently herewith.
The present invention relates generally to a projector beam headlamp for an automotive vehicle and more specifically to a variable beam headlamp system for an automotive vehicle using an electrostatic shutter.
Projector headlamps typically have a light source, a reflective surface, a light shield for blocking light that causes glare, and a lens. The reflector directs light to the center of the top edge of the light shield. After passing the light shield, the lens shapes the light to provide a proper beam pattern.
One disadvantage of prior art developments is that typically separate high beam and low beam lamps must be provided since the low beam lamp does not provide the output and direction for a high beam lamp. This configuration takes up considerable room in the front of the vehicle. Space in the front of the vehicle is valuable, so eliminating as many components as possible in the front of a vehicle is desirable.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,985,816 describes a projector beam headlamp using a light shield with a liquid crystal matrix divided into a plurality of controllable elements. Depending on the light output required, the elements are controlled to be either transparent or opaque. One problem with liquid crystal devices is that they typically do not operate over a wide range of temperatures nor do they have the switching speed as required in the operation of an automotive vehicle.
It would therefore be desirable to provide a device that would allow the use of a high beam and low beam lamp using a single light source and reflector that has rapid switching times, operates noiselessly, uses little power and performs over a wide range of temperatures.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the related art by providing a light source generating light, a reflector, a generally transparent light shield, an electrostatic shutter and a lens. The light shield has a surface and laterally displaced edges. The reflector has a predetermined relationship with the light shield and the light source and directs a portion of light from the light source to the surface of the light shield. The electrostatic shutter means is adjacent the surface of the light shield to selectively block a portion of the light from the light source. A lens between the light shield and the image surface directs light passing the light shield.
An advantage of the present invention is that low beam and high beams use one light source and reflector while maintaining an energy efficient, quiet, reliable and non-temperature sensitive means for switching between the high and low beams.
These and other objects, advantages, and features of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the lighting arts upon reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an automotive vehicle having a lighting system according to the present invention.
FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view of a projector beam headlamp.
FIG. 2B is a front view of an aperture plate of FIG. 2A.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the structure of an electrostatic shutter.
FIG. 4 is the front view of an aperture plate having two electrostatic shutters according to the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional of an alternative electrostatic shutter.
FIG. 6 is the front view of an alternative electrostatic shutter.
FIG. 7 is an alternative aperture plate constructed using an alternative electrostatic shutter.
Referring to FIG. 1, an automobile 10 has a front lighting system comprised of lamps 12. Each of lamps 12 preferably provides both high beam and low beam operation.
Referring now to FIG. 2A, a cross-sectional view of a projector headlamp is shown having a reflector 14, a light source 16, an aperture plate 18 and a lens 20. Reflector 14 has a generally ellipsoidal shape. The ellipsoid of reflector 14 has two focal points. The first focal point is located at a filament 22 of light source 16. The second focal point is located near top surface 24 of aperture plate 18.
Light source 16 may have a single filament 22. Light source 16 may also have a dual filament. One filament provides higher illumination for high beams.
Lens 20 is preferably an aspherical lens. Lens 20 has a focal length corresponding to the distance between the aspherical lens 20 and aperture plate 18.
Referring now to FIG. 2B, the front view of aperture plate 18 is shown having a discontinuous top surface 24. Top surface 24 has a raised portion 26 and a lower portion 28. These portions are designed so that the light output of the headlamp will meet the required governmental regulations. Aperture plate 18 has laterally disposed edges 30. Aperture plate 18 is preferably formed of glass.
Referring now to FIG. 3, to maintain both high beam and low beam lamps in a single configuration, it is preferable to use an electrostatic shutter attached to aperture plate 18. In low beam operation aperture plate 18 has an electrostatic shutter 32 that blocks light from light source 16. In the high beam configuration, electrostatic shutter 32 is opened permitting substantially all the light from light source 16 to go through aperture plate 18 for maximum illumination.
Electrostatic shutter 32 is formed on aperture plate 18. One way in which electrostatic shutter 32 may be formed is by depositing a conductive coating 34 on the outer surface of aperture 18. Conductive coating 34 is transparent and may be made of any known transparent material such as indium tin oxide or any other suitable material. Conductive coating 34 is then insulated by a dielectric layer 36. Dielectric layer 36 is also formed of a transparent material such as plastic.
Over dielectric layer 36 a coiled scroll 38 is used to control the light entering aperture plate 18. Scroll 38 comprises a plastic layer 44 (a polymer like Mylar or Teflon) covered with an extremely thin layer of conductive material (e.g., an aluminum layer 42). Typically, aluminum layer 42 lies toward dielectric layer 36. Scroll 38 is unfurled when a potential difference exists between conductive coating 34 and aluminum layer 42. When an insufficient voltage potential is applied to aluminum layer 42, scroll 38 is rolled up.
Referring now to FIG. 4, aperture plate 18 is shown using two scrolls 38 extending from laterally disposed edges 30 toward the middle of aperture plate 18. This embodiment uses two scrolls, the first scroll when unrolled covers the raised portion 26 of aperture plate 18 and the second scroll is unrolled on lower portion 28 of aperture plate 18. The length of each scroll is such that when a sufficient voltage is applied to the scrolls aperture plate 18 is completely blocked. When high beam is required, no voltage would be applied to either scroll so aperture plate is not blocked.
Referring now to FIG. 5, an alternative construction of electrostatic shutter 32 is shown. Shutter 32 has an input window 50, an electrically and thermally conductive heat sink 52 and a scroll 54.
Input window 50 is made of a transparent material capable of conducting heat such as glass.
Scroll 54 is preferably formed of the same aluminum and plastic layer material as described above.
Heat sink 52 preferably also acts as a ground plane. A suitable material for heat sink is aluminum. An insulator 56 separates scroll 54 from conductive heat sink 52. Heat sink 52 is located on an edge of input window 50. Heat sink 52 preferably surrounds input window 50.
A power feed is provided to scroll 54 preferably by a channel 58 in heat sink 52 that is electrically insulated from heat sink 52 by insulator 60. A wire 62 connects to a contact 64 that is insulated from heat sink 52 by an insulator 56. Contact 64 connects wire 62 to the aluminum layer of scroll 54.
This configuration may also have a cover 66 to protect the scroll 54 from damage. Cover 66 is preferably transparent and encloses scroll 54.
This configuration may be used for forward lighting system in an automotive vehicle where scroll 54 controls the transmission of light. A light pipe 68 may be used to provide light through electrostatic shutter 32. A lens 70 may also be used to form the light into the desired pattern. In this configuration it is also not necessary that the electrostatic shutter be used in a projector beam head lamp. However, as described below it certainly may. In addition, a stop bar 65 may be provided to provide an end point for the unrolling of scroll 54. Stop bar 65 is preferably electrically insulated from the heat sink 52 or is formed of nonconductive material.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the front view of electrostatic shutter 32 of FIG. 5 is shown. Input window 50 may have a variety of shapes, including circular as shown.
One advantage of the electrostatic shutter of FIGS. 5 and 6 versus the electrostatic shutter shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is that an insulator and a transparent conductor do not need to extend over input window 50. This results in the following benefits:
the reflection loses and glare due to the extra layers are eliminated;
opaque materials can be used for the insulating layer and the conductive layer that may result in significant cost savings and improved device performance; and
the heating of these layers due to any optical absorption is also eliminated.
It is preferred that insulator 56 be of a type of material that is electrically insulative and thermally conductive when scroll 54 is unfurled. Scroll 54 is in intimate contact with heat sink 52 through insulator 56. Also, scroll is in direct contact with the input window 50. When scroll 54 is unfurled, it is in thermal contact with heat sink 52 through insulator 56 and directly through input window 50 that is in thermal contact with heat sink 52. To increase thermal coupling a coupling paste may be used between input window 50 and heat sink 52. Heat created by the absorption of light is drawn away from scroll 54 through heat sink 52. The reliability of this system is high in high temperature applications.
Referring now to FIG. 7, an aperture plate 72 similar to aperture plate 18 of FIG. 4 is shown. Electrical contact 64 preferably positioned along laterally disposed edges 74 of aperture plate 72. Preferably, two scrolls are provided, one for raised portion 76 and one for lower portion 78.
A controller 80 controls the connection of voltage source 82 to the electrical contact 64. Inputs 84 provide necessary information for controller 80 to determine whether to roll or unroll scroll 54.
In one configuration input 84 may be a conventional driver operated switch to determine whether high beam or low beam lamps should be illuminated. If high beam lamps are required, no voltage is provided to contact 64 of aperture plate. If low beams are required controller 80 connects voltage source 82 to electrical contact 64 to unroll scroll 54 to block the light coming through input window 50.
In another embodiment sensing elements such as a motion detector, a turn signal indicator, or near-by vehicle sensing can be used as input to controller 80 to be used in the determination as to whether to unroll either scroll 54 depending on which way the vehicle is turning. If, for example, the vehicle is turning to the right the right scroll will unroll either partially or fully to illuminate the right side of the road. If the vehicle is turning left, the left scroll is unrolled to illuminate the left side of the road.
In another embodiment of the invention, the aperture plate may be variably controlled by controller 80 to provide high beam, low beam and an infinite combination therebetween. Inputs for such a function may be a driver control dial or based on inputs such as a light detector for detecting light of an oncoming vehicle and a speed detector based on the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is sufficiently far away such as across the median of a highway perhaps an opening between open and closed may be used between scrolls. One such means for detecting vehicles is a radar based system to detect the distance between the vehicles.
As would be evident to one skilled in the art, several modifications of the invention may be made while still being within the scope of the appended claims. For example, the type of material used or the inputs and control strategy of the controller may be changed.

what exacly happens if u try to run backups? any errors?
btw is ur wii new like brought this month? what are the first 4 letters of ur serial #?
I followed this step by step http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...tem-menus.html
I got to part D3)Now:
-For DVD launching, go to NeoGamma r7 (if you get a black screen on this one, you have not done B or C correctly. Try running them again)
-For USB launching, go to USB loader GX
When I load neogamma r7 it loads perfectly, no black screen etc. When I try to launch game it will only work if the game is a legit game. It won't work with backups (I've tried multiple backups). What may be my problem?
what exacly happens if u try to run backups? any errors?
btw is ur wii new like brought this month? what are the first 4 letters of ur serial #?
DVD read error (1048) is what I get, although, I don't receive an error when I insert a legit copy of the game. Yes, this is a brand new wii. LU73 is the 1st 4 of the serial.
"Error 1048 & 1101:
DVD Read Error Bad burn/media or incorrect cios/neogamma version. If you are laready using Verbatim DVD-r burned at 4x, try switching to neogammar6 and cios36rev10. Also this error will persist on newer wiis, meaning that they have the new D3-2 chip which cannot read backups at all. Only option for them is USB loading."
I tried to look up the serial number but its not in database, i tried LU7 and most of them have the new drive chip D3-2 so that might be ur case:
Database Lu7
Wii Drive Chip Database
Since originals work fine (if it was incorrect cios, i dont think originals would run through neogammma) and ur wii is brand new, im kinda sure that u hav the new chip. Also u tried multiple backups so its not bad media. Try different version of neogamma or USB loading if u have a USB HDD or flashdrive.
Last edited by Dami; 12-28-2009 at 10:58 PM.
I have a similar problem with neogamma R4. It will only read originals, but all of my backups just will not work. It gives me error 721.
Any help??????
this might sound odd but i modded my xbox and my disc drive went bad wonder if we can get a new disc drive for the wii when they go outa date ^^
For Everyones Info!!! Western Digital My Passport 500gb x5 1month unlimited blockbuster $700.00 bucks later... New wii D3 chip and about 10 years of gameplayer ahead of me... i found out it has the new d3 chip and gamecube emulation is not possible yet.
so in the end Anyone With 2009 December or newer Wii Must Buy Hard Drive USBHDD i prefer the Western Digital 500gb or 2TB... Both work fine... Read 4.2 Modding and follow instructions perfectly.
Again Any New Wii Modders 2009 December Or Newer! Must Get And Use USB HDD.
P.S. new wii 2009 dec,22nd Discdrive D3 chip will be installed and mine died due to Gamestop Dropping it day #1... got new wii modded it replaced disc drive from ebay everything works fine and i prefer the loadspeed of USBHDD

While there are tons of custom ROMs for Android, MIUI is probably the most unique and polished one. Some people may find MIUI to be too iPhone like, but the custom ROM takes a refreshingly different approach towards UI unlike thousands of other custom ROMs available for Android.
Every app, menu, settings in MIUI ROM is elegant, beautiful and polished. The latest version of MIUI (v4), based on Ice Cream Sandwich, looks even more beautiful, incorporates all the handy features of Ice Cream Sandwich, and comes with some redesigned system apps including the Music Player.
An XDA member, Dax, has managed to port the latest version of MIUI Music Player for all Ice Cream Sandwich running handsets. While the MIUI Music player is no PowerAMP competitor, it does have some nifty features and a gorgeous UI to complement it. It also has all the basic features of a music player covered like a Sleep timer, an Equalizer that barely makes any difference to the sound quality, Spectogram, the ability to automatically pull the lyrics of the current playing song from the Internet, Internet radio, and much more.
The only feature the app lacks is a decent widget, and notification bar control buttons in Ice Cream Sandwich like PowerAMP. Since MIUI is still under development, there is still hope for a better music widget and notification bar music controls.
A flashable ZIP version of the MIUI Music APK file can be found over at this thread on XDA forums. Alternatively, users can simply download the APK file from here and install it manually. If the installation fails, simply push the APK file to /system/app using Root Explorer or ADB or any other similar program.
