|Patent application number
|DRIVING CIRCUIT OF BACKLIGHT MODULE - A driving circuit of a backlight module is provided. The driving circuit has a dimming unit used for transmitting signals, wherein the dimming unit can adjust a current flowing through a light-emitting diode (LED) according a pulse width modulation signal and an enable signal, so as to adjust a light-emitting intensity of the LED. In the present invention, fewer devices are used to implement the dimming unit, and a transmission gate is replaced by a N-type transistor and a P-type transistor, such that a chip area and a circuit cost of the driving circuit are reduced.
|Touch Panel Sensing Circuit - In a capacitance sensing analog circuit of a touch panel sensing circuit, by raising a magnitude of a current flowing through a sensing capacitor to form an amplified sensing capacitance, while sensing the amplified sensing capacitance with the aid of pulse width modulation signals, higher resolution of the original sensing capacitance may thus be achieved. Besides, by using a self-calibrating capacitance sensing circuit on the touch panel sensing circuit, linear errors and DC errors of an output signal of the capacitance sensing analog circuit may be filtered off, and thereby resolution of a capacitance amplifying ratio may be effectively raised so as to relieve errors within the capacitance amplifying ratio caused by noises.
|CAPACITANCE SENSING CIRCUIT - A capacitance sensing circuit for a touch panel includes an analog capacitance-detecting circuit, a PWM-to-digital circuit and a self-calibration circuit.

|Patent application number
|Transmit Beamforming With Singular Value Decomposition And Pre-Minimum Mean Square Error - Transmitting beamforming can steer a transmitting signal to reduce the interference between spaces of a MIMO system and achieves constructive combination at the receiver. One method of steering matrix calculation includes using singular value decomposition (SVD). Notably, the singular values of SVD, which represent the stream strengths in a MIMO system, are in descending order. In equal modulation, signal strength degradation makes the receive EVM of the latest stream poor and increases the probability of packet error. MMSE can be used to weight the steering vectors of the steering matrix calculated in SVD. This weighting of the singular values can balance the SNR of the streams, thereby improving packet error rate.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to surry355f1
You have to look for the Mac's model identifier, and the 7,2 at the end shows the models this will work on the page you link to. Many of us sadly have other versions of MBPs from 2010, mine is a 15" i7 2.66 but a 6,2 and I can attest top the fact the 16 GIG upgrdae does not work. In safe mode it seems to but normal booting produces a kernel panic. I keep checking this post to see if there has been a break through but I suspect it won't happen.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to RoyQ1975
My MacbookPro7,1 2.66GHz (mid-2010 13") fails to start up when two paired 8gb pc3-8500 pieces of RAM are inserted. During bootup, the computer simply becomes unresponsive, displaying only the normal startup screen (grey background with white apple in center), and though it may start with a moving scroll wheel, the wheel either disappears, stops moving, or becomes oddly pixelated after a few seconds. I have left the computer thrice times for 4+ hours each, and the computer never moves past this.
I have, btw, also inserted a pair of faulty 4gb pieces, and the bios simply responds back to me by beeping and flashing the light in front. I have confirmed that this particular experiment refers to the RAM by placing them into my 17" 2.8GHz mid-2009 MBP and received the same response: beeping and flashing of front-light.
I had looked elsewhere before I made my own purchase, and saw that the 2.66GHz had not really been referred to, which led to my gambling. My gamble, however, did not pay off. It may for you <shrug>

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to Riallin
What speed is the RAM? Did you stick with 1066 MHz? I'm pretty sure you're machine won't accept 1333MHz.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to port77
So I have a Mid 2010 i7 2.66ghz 15" macbook Pro. I've been thinking about the following:
1) Corsair CMSO16GX3M2A1333C9 Laptop Memory 16GB 1333MHz C9 DDR3 So-Dimm Kit
2) Thaiphoon Burner with a USB windows xp stick boot to use the software. http://www.softnology.biz/tips_macbookpro.html
This is the primary blog that I'm using as evidence for this option: http://blog.nu42.com/2013/02/mid-2010-macbook-pro-71-with-16-gb-ddr3.html
It sounds like everyone who has tried this is getting KP errors because the graphics cards can't handle the 8GB chips even if they have been modified to the correct speed (ie, DDR3-1066MHz PC3-8500 for me).
Have I understood the current problem? Because from the blog above it shows the macbook working with 16gb ram, but I'm just not sure if that's temporary before an eventual KP.
Digitalclips May 4, 2013 6:25 AM
Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to ttbutler96
That blog specifically states it is MBP 7,1.
Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 7,1 with 16 GB DDR3 1333 (PC3-10600) RAM"
Many are different from mid 2010. I have a 15" mid 2010 i7 266 and my MBP's identifier is 6,2 and I can assure you the 16 GIGs curently won't work on mine. It seems to be the same model you have. Look in your system profile for the identifier.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to eww
Apparently, it's not a matter of the Mid 2010 but rather "who" makes it. Some RAM will not work.
There is a guy on YouTube who uses it regularly ... (his handle: mi16T)
He says you have to get the 2 - 8GB RAM chips from OWC (Other World Computing) at MacSales.com to make it run. His system, once done, runs very very well. (he has a video to prove it - realtime) It cost him about $100 bucks plus shipping.
Published on Jan 14, 2013
There is no 8gb ram limitation! As long as you get ram that is brand name and spec matched, even the 2010 model will support 16gb with GREAT speed gains!
If any of you happens to prove this wrong before I get the upgrade, please let me know ...
I don't think you'll find this a problem. It should work fine.
email: email@example.com
Here's another guy who also upgraded to 16GB of RAM ...
Riallin May 7, 2013 2:41 PM
Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to Rich Allcorn
Incorrect statement regarding "who" makes the RAM. It is not a matter of the manufacturer, or that a laptop is from 2010 (as the 2010 13" 2.66ghz does not support it), but rather there is a distribution of Apple products that will work with 2 sticks of 8gb RAM:
The first video you linked is of a mid-2010 13" 2.4GHz, which nobody has argued can not support 16gb. In fact, on the OWC "macsales.com" website, you will see that they explicitly show the 16gb kit working with that laptop.
The second video you linked shows a "late 2011" (october 2011 release date) 2.2GHz i7 (MacBookPro8,2). This is also prominently displayed on the OWC website as working with a 16gb kit.
This forum thread appears to be discussing the possibility of getting *other* laptops to work with the 16gb kits, not the ones that OWC has already confirmed as working.
Hope that helps everyone else as well...

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to Riallin
So If I searched OWC based on my Macbook Pro (7.1 Mid 2010 2.66Ghz) I can see the 16GB kit listed as compatible.
I bit the bullet and ordered the kit. I'm currently running 10.7.4, but I plan on clean installing 10.8.3. The RAM should arrive in a few weeks so i'll check back in with the results. Fingers crossed.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to surry355f1
Hey all!
I've been following the discussion and just wanted to chime back in re: the 2.4 vs 2.66 Ghz discussion ...
I called OWC and ordered the 16 gb (2 x 8gb) kit of 1067 MHz DDR3
I run a Mid2010 13" MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
The machine is a MacBook Pro 7,1
My software is an up-to-date OS X 10.8.3
I have been running 16gb of RAM with no problems for several months. It was worth every penny.
Cheers and good luck to my fellow upgraders!

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to UrbanProfStL
16 gb ram upgrade works in the mid 2010 MBPP 13"; this is confirmed.
The problem, which we have requested Apple to look into, is that the 15" and 17" models are not upgradeable due to an issue related to their two video processors.
Trying to use them in todays environment without the 16 gb upgrade is difficult, but the computers are not old enough to warrant replacement, when only a firmware re-write seems to be standing in the way.

Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to UrbanProfStL
Hi UrbanProfStL
Is your mid 2010 mbp a 2.4 or 2.66? There is some debate about the 2.66 not supporting 16gb
Glenn Radford May 11, 2013 4:45 PM
Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to surry355f1
Mine's a 2.66.There is no doubt; it does not support 16gb. OWC, vendors of the 16gb kit used to upgrade the 13" MBP of the same series, will confirm this. It has something to do with the firmware, and needs to be addressed by Apple in order for this computer to be upgradeable.
surry355f1 May 20, 2013 2:35 AM
Re: Macbook Pro (2010) 16gb memory in response to Glenn Radford
ok so got the OWC 16GB kit today. installed it booted and its all sweet!
so my machine is Mid 2010 MBP 7,1 2.66Ghz. Confirmed working with the OWC kit.

I think I will make my own dippers, but not yet.
I'd like to first finalise my ideal loads. Right now I have been trying different bullets and suppliers. I am therefore in the process of working ideal charges to get either decent punch if a woods load or accuracy and comfort for a range load. Once I have those, then I can start playing with dippers to save time.
Otherwise, I may make a whole bunch of dippers and find I never use them!!!

Sorry--it's kind of long but all of your advice would be very helpful! Thanks!!
My husband and I are at our wits end on this one--our LO started to eat from his bottle really funny and seemed to lose interest in it so we switched the nipples to medium flow and it worked--up until now! Now the last couple of days he started to eat about an ounce and then he'll stop! We burp him thinking maybe that's it but it still doesn't help. He moves the nipple around in his mouth and won't suck. He just plays with it and then makes these funny faces when you try to put it back in his mouth. It is getting VERY frustrating when he doesn't eat and it's like this every feeding! He isn't gassy or anything like that. Last night he was crying and wouldn't eat but was still hungry so we just had to walk around and then wait about 1/2 hr. - 1 hr. and then he wanted to eat so he does eventually finish it but it's a struggle! He is scaring us now that he's going through this weird stage.
We use the Playtex drop-in bottles and so we though maybe that's the problem, maybe he's getting too much air w/ them even though he's eaten from them since he was born but thought maybe he doesn't like them anymore so we switched to the Playtex Vent-aire bottles and the nipples are almost exactly the same but he eats a tad better but still does the goofy eating routine. HELP! What could be wrong? He's eating 5 oz. now and nothing has changed w/ him other than this eating problem all of a sudden! What could be possibly wrong?

AHCC is manufactured by Amino Up Chemical Company in Sapporo, Japan and is distributed in the United States by Maypro Industries. Maypro sells AHCC to a number of leading supplement companies including Quality of Life Laboratories, a subsidiary of Maypro.
The AHCC Research Association was founded in 1986 to promote further study. Each year since 1994, over 300 medical doctors and researchers have gathered in Sapporo, Japan for the AHCC Research Association Symposium to share and discuss the latest developments.

I Find Unmanaged Computers, but it shows Unknown Computers
What do i need to verify unknown computer?

After entering the login credentials and domain/workgroup name when you hit search.
It starts scanning your network using those credentials.
On the computers on which these credentials does not work this tool Classifies it to be Unknown Computers thats the reason you will also see your routers, switches,printers and other networking devices in Unknown Computers.
On the computers on which these credential works then this tool checks if that compters is registered with this SEPM console,If it finds its entry in the sepm console it will not list it otherwise it will show up as Unamanaged computer that is either that computer has SEP but its Unmanaged or it does not have sep at all.
for me its seems like ID and pass is not working. Can you export the same package from SEPM and install it manually on the client side, does that work?
Can you export the same package from SEPM and install it manually on the client side, does that work?
--- I exported installation package from SEPM then i installed manually on the client side. This is worked.
I am thinking our client is managed now because it wasn't found find unmanaged computers button, but it wasn't found when I hit Search Clients button too.
looks like corrupt definition as PTP definition have been updated till September.

kinda shit but kinda good
Rated 3 / 5 stars
i done but i don't feel like i'm complete
i to was let down by the story or lack there of
it is clear a lot of it is left for the player to decide but of the few things that were given were very sad and painful,
i mean at the end of the game i truely felt like i had lost all the time and effort i put into it, i understand if that was the point but after such a long grind of a game i would have liked a little more whether it be bad or good
but as for the game play the movment was smooth and even if the controls were simple i never found myself unable to get to the place i wanted to, but the map it self was very nice and the colour mechanic worked very well
so in the end it has good points and bad points
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Oh look...
it's another moody artsy-fartsy flash game on Newgrounds that has modest, refreshing but far from breathtaking visuals paired with a reflective piano score that emulates musical compositions of the romantic period while you control an insipid character that jumps from block to block collecting objects and once you have gone through the trouble of completing these tedious tasks you are left with an ending that leaves way too much room for the viewer's interpretation.
I like the game- but unfortunately there just isnt a lot to it. There's no conflict or drama, there's no enemies or obstacles, no original platforming ideas...Not to mention, games like this need some kind of story. IMO. Overall while the game mechanics run smoothly and the atmosphere is charming, there's not much to the gameplay and it doesn't stand out compared to other "art" games on this site.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Wasn't too phyced
Honestly I didn't enjoy it that much. All I did to move the story along was randomly mash the jump button while moving sideways. I understand it's supposed to be about color, but come on. Everything was completely flat you needed some shading for the art part to be decent. The music was definitively the most appealing aspect of playing this game. I wouldn't change a thing about that. I would however, make the beginning cut-scene take less time by having him start moving sooner. I was confused weather I was supposed to be doing something already.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Warning: Minor Spoilers
Ignoring the art part of this art game, it's just your average mediocre platformer / fetch quest. Game developers really need to understand that the game part is just as important as the art part. So many art games are awful because they neglect to make their deep, meaningful stories less than a tedious chore to experience.
Speaking of the story, I believe this game is about a depressed girl who lost her boyfriend. The ghost of her boyfriend (the player) travels around the general area picking up items (perhaps significant to their relationship) and gives them to her, each one pushing her closer and closer to being able to move on.
Or, alternatively: "Spending all your time trying to get a woman's attention will eventually kill you".
My recommendations for this game:
- A map screen, similar to the one in Super Metroid, that would fill up as you explore the world. This would allow you to have a larger world without the player getting lost.
- Traps, pitfalls, actual hazards that break up the tedium of traveling around.
- Actual meaning for each of the items. The flower on the grave was the most symbolic thing in the entire game, yet the other items were just random things in random places. Also that was the largest four-leaf clover I've ever seen.
- Dialogue, narration, something to bring the player into the world you've created.
- Alternate endings based on the player's actions, perhaps how long it takes them to get the items, or maybe some red herring items for the player to collect.
- More than one song.
I give this game 3 out of 5 stars for the art part, and 1 out of 5 stars for the game part, for a total of 4 out of 10 stars. Actually, I'm going to give you an extra point for choosing to use actual graphics instead of pixel graphics, which far too many (terrible) art games rely on.
You have potential to make a great game. The only direction you have to go from here is up. Don't let this review discourage you, but don't let the good reviews get to your head, either.

Italian studies report fewer heart attacks after procedures ,,
MONDAY, March 30 (HealthDay News) -- Giving statins just before artery-opening angioplasty procedures reduces the incidence of heart attacks and other problems, even for people who already have been taking the cholesterol-lowering drugs, Italian trials show.
It's not the effect that statins have on cholesterol that is responsible for the benefits but rather their ability to reduce inflammation and other problems associated with heart disease, said Dr. Carlo Briguori, a cardiologist at the Clinica Mediterranea in Naples, who was to report the findings Monday at the American College of Cardiology annual meeting, in Orlando, Fla.
His study included 688 people who were having the procedure that cardiologists formally call percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in which angioplasty is performed and a stent is then placed in the artery. None had been taking statins before PCI was scheduled. About half of them were give 40 milligrams of atorvastatin (Lipitor) in the 24 hours before the procedure, and the others did not take the drug.
Within 12 hours of the procedure, 15.8 percent of those who were not given a statin had a heart attack, compared with 9.5 percent of those given atorvastatin, Briguori reported.
"This supports the concept that a high loading dose of a statin a day before PCI can have a beneficial effect," he said.
But that trial included only people who had not been taking a statin, and "this patient population is disappearing," said Dr. Germano Di Sciascio, chairman of cardiology at the University of Rome, who reported on a second trial at the meeting. "The vast majority of people who come to the catheterization laboratory are on statins," he said. "In our group, it was 70 percent of patients."
His study included 352 people with heart problems such as stable angina -- chest pain caused by narrowed cardiac arteries

Skink no surrender (2014)
by Carl Hiaasen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Adult Reader Reaction: Quirky and poignant are the first words that come to mind. The story - told in Richard's voice - grabs you quickly and pulls you along. I was unfamiliar with the character "Skink" before I read No Surrender. I'm glad I met him. He's a great character, but I loved Richard, too, and would like to read about the next chapter in HIS life.
There is an unspoken irony in Malley running away with someone she just "met" and Richard going on this rescue mission with someone HE just met.
Pros: Even while being a bit unbelievable, the story is thrilling, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny. With references from the 1960s through the 2000s, preteens and adults can enjoy reading this together.
Read our full review and add yours at The Reading Tub®.
This tale is about a high school kid who suspects something bad has happened to his cousin - who supposedly was headed off to a private school in New Hampshire. The story follows some normal Hiaasen twists and turns with the former governor and his friend from the State Police - Jim Tile making appearances. I enjoyed the read and think this book would be interesting for reluctant readers because of its humor, quirkiness, and irreverence.
When 14 year old Malley is supposed to go to boarding school, she decides instead to take her chances running away with someone she has "met" on the internet. Her cousin and friend, Richard, takes charge in trying to save her when she secretly lets him know that things are not okay. Luckily, Richard has happened to meet up with an ex-governor Vietnam vet who is willing to take on the challenge of tracking Malley's clues and even wrestling alligators as well as fighting an online predator for his young friend's feisty cousin. Amidst all the wackiness of this Hiaasen novel, the dark undertone of abduction by an online predator lurks, although specifics of what this 26 year old man did to her was never addressed in detail. An exciting, fun adventure novel that leaves room for thought, this 281 page book would appeal to 6th grade and up and would make a good book discussion book.
Not bad for a kid's book.
Being a HUGE Hiaasen fan I was looking forward to this latest novel especially with Skink in it. It was a good story but I have to say I really didn't like the way it was written. I've read many YA books and there was something missing like Hiaasen wasn't sure how far he could go with this age group. I've read all of his younger books, Hoot, Scat, Chomp and Flush, and they were much better, the only word I can thing of is tighter. I will hesitate to read anything else he targets for YA. (I've also read all his adult books.).

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375870512, Hardcover)The #1 New York Times bestselling author Carl Hiaasen debuts his first book for teens with Skink—No Surrender.
Classic Malley—to avoid being shipped off to boarding school, she takes off with some guy she met online. Poor Richard—he knows his cousin's in trouble before she does. Wild Skink—he's a ragged, one-eyed ex-governor of Florida, and enough of a renegade to think he can track Malley down. With Richard riding shotgun, the unlikely pair scour the state, undaunted by blinding storms, crazed pigs, flying bullets, and giant gators.
Carl Hiaasen first introduced readers to Skink more than twenty-five years ago in Double Whammy, and he quickly became Hiaasen's most iconic and beloved character, appearing in six novels to date. Both teens and adults will be thrilled to catch sight of the elusive "captain" as he pursues his own unique brand of swamp justice. With Skink at the wheel, the search for a missing girl is both nail-bitingly tense and laugh-out-loud funny.

With the help of an eccentric ex-governor, a teenaged boy searches for his missing cousin in the Florida wilds.

Thanks Alot
This is the only folding tricycle that I can locate here in the US:
The company has been in busines for many years. They ship direct to you.
You should try Zach Kaplan in Oakland, acutally Alameda... he's legendary with bents and trikes, has a great shop and may have something used or be able to point you in the right direction... the Greenspeed is cool, but double the money your talking buying new..Originally Posted by niceguy11
You can also get a worksman folding trike at walmart along with another brand.
Dahon seems to be one of the better manufacturers of folding bikes that range from $275 and up. They're based out of California and market through local bikes shops and on the web. I live in NYC and purchased mine through www.brandscycle and got a great price. The dealership unpacks it, gets it together and repacks it. There was one small problem with a missing nut and both brandscycle and dahon were great. Brandscycle contacted Dahon (who also got in touch with me by email and phone) and sent out two full replacement parts for my trouble.
If you go to their website at www.dahon.com, you can learn about the culture of the company, their corporate ethics, their 15% improvement program and also connect to thousands of customers that post to their discussion forums. What's amazing is that the technicians read these posts daily and jump right in to help out with any problems. Very cool. I highly suggest you give them a look.....
I don't give a damn 'bout a bad reputation
Joan Jett, circa 1980
Dahon does not currently or even in the past offer folding tricycles. But if he wants a folding bicycle...that is something else entirely. Then check out Dahon.Originally Posted by davewnyc
Di Blasi has a distributor in Georgia . They make folding Bicycles tricycles and motorscooters.This distributor may not carry the full line but you can call them and find out. The listed phone # is 404 402 7984

You can't get a good folding trike for ~$1000 unless someone is giving it away.
Gold Country is where we bought our 'bents. Driving there is a hassle though.

Revisiting preseason questions
Originally Published: February 15, 2005By Andy Katz | ESPN.com
Editor's Note: Haven't been paying full attention to the college hoops world until now? Well, we'll get you all caught up on 10 of the biggest questions we pondered in the preseason.
1. Will the lack of an interior hurt Illinois?
Not so far. This argument is moot to this point. First, the guard play has been so sensational that any issues up front have been basically eliminated. Dee Brown, Deron Williams and Luther Head play at such a high speed and with such precision that worrying ...

1955-06-22 Archie Moore w co 3 (15) Carl Bobo Olson, Polo Grounds, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD
1955-06-22 Archie Moore w co 3 (15) Carl Bobo Olson, Polo Grounds, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD. Referee: Ruby Goldstein. Defending his title against the world middleweight champion, Moore (175) ultimately proved to be too powerful and too good for the naturally lighter man. The opening two rounds saw Olson (170¼) moving around Moore and stabbing out the left jab before banging away inside. But towards the end of the second, Moore had started to work the body and in the third he made his move. Although the session started quietly, with both men probing, on the 1.19 mark Olson had been counted out after taking a solid straight right to the face that was followed by two crunching left hooks to the jaw.
After the fight Moore took time out from the light heavies to make an unsuccessful challenge for Rocky Marciano's heavyweight title on 21 September, losing by a ninth-round knock-out at the Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NYC, New York, before announcing that he would be defending his championship in Britain against Yolande Pompey on 13 March 1956. However, whether that was a ruse to keep the commissions off his back is unclear, but a number of excuses and a reluctance to make that date saw the fight eventually put back to June.

I've already read the other forum about this topic, and it didn't answer the question.
The chloroplatinite is in powder form. I have 2 grams of it. I have to make the solution by adding only water I assume. In the previous thread they talk about using 100ml of water, but doesn't this give you a 2% solution (2g/100ml= 2%)?
Wouldn't I have to mix 2 grams of chloroplatinite with 10ml of water to get a 20% solution?
