Full-Scale Results of the Columbus Biosolids Flow-Through Thermophilic Treatment (CBFT3) and Cogeneration System
Abstract:Brown and Caldwell, and Columbus Water Works (CWW), located in Columbus, Georgia, have developed an innovative thermophilic anaerobic digestion process to produce Class A biosolids and have coupled the process with a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or cogeneration system whereby digester gas will be used to generate renewable electrical and thermal energy. The Columbus Biosolids Flow-Through Thermophilic Treatment (CBFT3) and Cogeneration System project consists of first-of-its-kind technology in developing a Process-to-Further-Reduce-Pathogens (PFRP) to USEPA Class A standards. Previous work(i) focused on research and development of the thermophilic stabilization process; the design, construction, and testing of a full-scale prototype plug-flow reactor unique to the CBFT3 process; and key engineering, design and construction elements of the CBFT3 and Cogeneration System.
Construction of the project was completed in July 2010 and the system is currently under-going start-up and commissioning. This paper presents key design and construction issues as well as preliminary full-scale performance results. This project represents the culmination of over seven years of research and engineering evaluations that are being demonstrated at full-scale that will significantly advance the art of anaerobic digestion design and operation.
Keywords: Class A Biosolids; Cogeneration; Combined Heat and Power; Green Power; Renewable Energy; Temperature-Phased Anaerobic Digestion; Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion

The immensely popular series about Germaine and her squirrel Foamy!

It's the everyday happenings of weebl and sometimes weebl's friend bob!

Check out this twisted and humorous series!
it's the same
it's just episode 1 with the characters as salad fingers and hubert cumberdale instead of W and B. well, 4 out of ten for the effort. here you go.
Not very original.
All this is is merely a recreation of Weebl and Bob, Episode 1, with the same audio track and everything. All that you did at all was change the background and sprites. It lacks originality. Try making your own dialogue, perhaps?
not to bad
i thought it was O.K. Couple funny parts. Looks like you put alot of work into it though, good job.
no no no no no no no
this isnt right the voices are wrong the background is wrong this stinks !
Use Boards of Canada
There needed to be more Salad Fingers in there, and you should have used the song "Beware the Friendly Stranger" from Boards of Canada for the background music.

December 6, 2015
Business Insider
When Jeff Weiner became CEO of LinkedIn in 2009, he came into an interesting situation: replacing company founder Reid Hoffman, who had temporarily hired another CEO, but then taken the chief executive spot back.

India's ambitious North East BPO plan turning into a flop show
November 16, 2015
Surabhi Agarwal , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI:India's ambitious plan to develop a back-office hub in the northeast is turning into a flop show, with the government failing to garner any interest for its Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) promotion scheme in the region even after relaxing qualification norms and giving companies more time to bid. The government is now considering fresh changes to the policy, aimed at boosting employment. The department of electronics and IT received only one application to fill 300 of the proposed 3,000 seats during the first round of bidding - from Kolkata-based IKF Technologies - and decided to rework the policy document hoping for more interest the second time around.

AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS -- Danny Granger scored 31 points and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Golden State Warriors 108-94 on Wednesday night for their third straight win.
Granger's rebounds were important because forward Troy Murphy, the team's No. 2 rebounder, sat out for the third straight game with a bruised lower back.
Roy Hibbert and Earl Watson each added 16 points for the Pacers. Guard T.J. Ford left the game in first quarter with back spasms and did not return.
Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 21 points, and Anthony Randolph added 17 points and 13 rebounds.
Former Pacer Stephen Jackson scored seven points for the Warriors. He was booed loudly during pregame introductions.
Indiana's defense has been the constant in the win streak. The Pacers have held their past three opponents to 90 points per game.
Granger, who played power forward instead of his usual small forward spot because Murphy was out, attacked the basket more than he had been and broke out of his shooting slump. He shot 12-for-24 after making just 26 of 75 shots his previous four games.
Pacers rookie Tyler Hansbrough had 11 points and eight rebounds in 16 minutes, but he shot just 3 for 12 from the field.
Indiana shot 52 percent and led 64-47 at halftime. Indiana led 79-59 late in the third quarter, but the Warriors ended the third quarter on an 11-5 spurt to cut their deficit to 84-70.
Golden State came within 98-91 on a highlight-reel dunk by Ellis, but the Warriors got no closer.
Notes: Pacers coach Jim O'Brien said Murphy could play Saturday against Boston. ... Other Pacers who missed the game were C Jeff Foster (ankle), G Mike Dunleavy (knee) and G Travis Diener (foot). ... Watson hit a 30-foot jumper at the first-quarter buzzer to give the Pacers a 32-28 lead. ... Hansbrough committed three fouls in the first quarter. ... Granger and Randolph were hit with double technicals after jawing under the basket after free throws by Hansbrough in the fourth quarter.

Leave Titanic's Artifacts?Breaking News
From the educational to the experiential to the downright bizarre, ways to commemorate the April centennial of the Titanic disaster won't be in short supply. Whether through eerily specific replica cruises or the more foreseeable 3-D release of James Cameron's 1997 film, history buffs and Leonardo DiCaprio fans alike can pay homage to one of the world's deadliest peacetime sea tragedies 100 years after it happened.
While cruising the Atlantic or immersing oneself in the world of Jack and Rose might re-create the experience of being on the ill-fated ship, a new exhibit at Connecticut's Mystic Aquarium aims to re-create the adventure of discovering its resting place. The team behind the exhibit, called "Titanic — 12,450 Feet Below," includes Robert Ballard, a former U.S. Navy officer who discovered the Titanic in a 1985 expedition with French oceanographer Jean-Louis Michel. Ballard is the founder and president of the Institute for Exploration, a division of the Sea Research Foundation, which is the nonprofit that operates Mystic Aquarium....

Kennett schools to participate in backpack food program
A new program will soon be piloted through Masterson and South Elementary Schools in the Kennett School District as a way to provide nutritional meals to area families during the weekends.
According to South Elementary School Counselor Jennifer Nigut, the Backpack Program is designed to "provide a backpack filled with nutritious food every weekend during the school year for children in our community."
Nigut said each backpack will contain enough food for two breakfasts, four lunches and/or dinners, and two snacks.
"All food in the Backpack Program are prepackaged into individual servings," Nigut said."Everything is ready to eat and does not require refrigeration or heating."
Nigut said the program will be piloted through five families in the district. Depending on the success, she hopes to roll the program out to more families during the next school year. The families selected for the program will be sent a letter asking if they wish to participate.
For those who do participate, Nigut said each Friday, the child will be given a backpack filled with a variety of food. On Monday morning, the child would be required to return the backpack to the counselor's office to prepare for the next week.
Nigut said she is currently seeking support from local churches and organizations to help fill the backpacks, with the first food drive being held by Family Counseling Center, Inc., in January.
According to center representative Jill Rickman, the counseling center decided to host a food drive after hearing Nigut present the program to the local Kiwanis club.
Rickman said center held a site competition January 11-22, raising more than 2,400 food items from the list provided by the school.
According to Nigut, the school is seeking items such as tuna salad lunch kits, chicken salad lunch kits, VanCamp's Beanee Weenee, V-8 fruit fusion drinks, quart or gallon sized bags, shelf-stable milk drink boxes, small bottled waters, Jif to Go peanut butter cups, 100 percent juice boxes, individual sized cereal boxes, fruit cups, raisins, and Vienna sausages.
For more information on the program or to see how your organization can help, contact Jennifer Nigut at (573) 717-1135, Jane Cook at (573) 344-0576, or Valerie Turner at (573) 717-1115.

VFT6 gonna be a flop
Although it was released on YouTube a few days ago, Aesop Rock's The Impossible Kid album dropped today.
Ex. The Hot Boy$, NWA, Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees…etc
Goddamn that's a long title.
It's not just a hip-hop thing, in every genre it's the case. When groups like these get created you will always get people who bring certain facets to the group and without him/her the group will fall apart. Likewise in these type of groups (especially in groups of more than 3) you will always get someone who is their due to relations only. People like that always fall off (unlike Eazy-E).
Hmm..Mane idont know. Let mi ask birdman….
GOOD Music matches your description to a T. They have breakout stars in Kanye and Big Sean, a criminal in Pusha T, an underground/alternative dude in Mos Def, an overshadowed dude in Cyhi, and a bunch of obscure dudes.
Fortune is right. There will always be someone the public gravitates more to. There will always be one who makes better music when the solo albums start rolling out.
Damn Homie you right. I never thought bout G.O.O.D music. Word.
Dipset also kinda fits the description, cept' they were pretty much all criminals lol
OutKast is not a group. It's a duo. But how does NWA fit into this? Someone lay that out for me.
eazy was always more popular, ren was slept on
I understand that. but both Ice Cube and Dre got popular.
ice cube only got famous by being smart and dre got big cuz of suge….if it was all them by there selfs…it wouldve been a different story
I know but how do they fit into the categories in the title?
As long as the dough's right and these hoes is tight does it really matter?
Star(s): Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj
Criminal: …Wayne?
Underground(ish): Tyga, Gudda Gudda
Underrated (by RG consensus, I don't see much in him): Corey Gunz
What's his face: Jae Millz, Mack Maine
Not sure what to do with Busta, though.

The present invention generally relates to stereoscopic displays, and more particularly relates to preventing frame violations on stereoscopic displays.
Stereoscopic images provide three-dimensional (3D) representations of objects and scenes using multiple two-dimensional (2D) images. Stereoscopy has been commonly used in motion pictures, holography, photography, and other fields for many years. As the quality of stereoscopic imagery has improved, it has become increasingly adopted in many environments. Stereoscopic imagery is now used, for example, during aerial refueling to aid in directing the refueling boom toward the fuel receptacle of the refueling aircraft. Numerous other applications of stereoscopic imagery are found in a wide array of entertainment, commercial, military, medical, aerospace, and other settings.
Typically, stereoscopic images make use of 'binocular vision,' which incorporates at least two separate images taken at different viewing angles corresponding to the different angles of vision produced by a viewer's two eyes. Upon viewing, the two images are isolated from each other (using various physical, optical and/or other techniques) such that each of the viewer's two eyes receives only one of the two images, creating separate left-eye and right-eye retinal images. When viewed in this manner, the human brain uses the differences between the separate left-eye and right-eye images as cues to the three-dimensional position of objects in the scene, thereby producing the visual percept of objects seen in various 3D positions in front of the observer's eyes.
One problem commonly associated with stereoscopic images, however, involves difficulty in framing the various objects within in the confines of the two-dimensional representation. So-called "frame violations" typically result when objects appearing in front of the viewing surface ("the frame") are clipped off by the edge of the display frame, thereby giving the illusion that closer objects are blocked by a surface that appears to be behind the closer object; this is contrary to the normal experience of interposition, where closer objects block the view of farther objects. In the case of mid-air refueling, for example, the refueling boom may appear in front of the stereo window (formed by the edge of the display, typically a panel-mounted flat panel display), thereby creating the potential for an unnatural appearance when a portion of the boom appears to be obscured by the display edge "behind" the boom. The visual paradox created by this occlusion of the stereoscopic frame potentially contradicts the binocular disparity of the stereoscopic image in the viewer's mind, thereby disturbing the viewer's accurate perception of three-dimensional position in space.
Accordingly, it is desirable to create a stereoscopic display that reduces or eliminates stereoscopic frame violations. In addition, it is desirable to create a stereoscopic viewing system suitable for use in aerial refueling that reduces or eliminates stereoscopic frame violations. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the foregoing technical field and background.
Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing frame violations in a stereoscopic display. According to various embodiments, a system for presenting a stereoscopic image to a user suitably includes one or more cameras, each providing a video image to a video processor, and a stereoscopic display. The stereoscopic display suitably includes a left module and a right module, with each module having an eyepiece and a display panel with at least one aperture located therebetween. The stereoscopic display may be configured to produce stereoscopic image pairs on the display panels as a function of image data received from the video processor, with the apertures forming a window around at least a portion of the perimeter of the display to thereby provide a visual reference point to the user that reduces or eliminates frame violations. The stereoscopic display system may be used during aerial refueling operations, or in any other display environment.
The present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the following drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and
The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. As used herein, the term "substantially" is intended to incorporate deviations from the parameters set forth herein to accommodate design and manufacturing variations, as well as literal deviations of ten percent or more that do not deviate from the concepts as set forth herein and their legal equivalents.
According to various exemplary embodiments, a stereoscopic viewing display reduces or eliminates frame violations by providing a "mid-window" that conceals at least a portion of the edge of the display and provides viewers with a familiar optical reference point. The "mid-window" may be provided through mechanical or electronic techniques. One or more apertures, for example, may be placed between each eyepiece and display screen in a stereoscopic viewer to create the appearance of a window frame in front of the display that provides natural focus and binocular fixation cues that are similar to looking out a direct viewing window at a distant scene. In a further embodiment, a stereoscopic display system may be configured such that the cameras obtaining stereo images converge at a point closer to the camera than the primary objects of interest in the viewed scene, such that the objects of interest appear to extend "behind" the point of convergence, thereby further ensuring that no objects extend in front of the window to create frame violations. The various viewing displays described herein may be used, for example, in the context of an aerial refueling system or any other aeronautical, industrial, entertainment, or other commercial application.
Turning now to the drawings,
As briefly mentioned above, many refueling environments 100 now incorporate stereoscopic imaging to further assist the AOR in guiding the boom. In the past, such display systems typically provided stereoscopic images on panel-mounted displays that employed electrically-switchable polarizing shutter screens over cathode ray tube (CRT) faceplates. Operators typically viewed the images using passive polarized glasses to separate the left and right-eye images. To reduce the effects of cross-talk (i.e. image "ghosting" between left and right images), the cameras were typically converged at the average distance to refueling receptacle 110 (e.g. about sixty feet), which is the primary object of focus. This arrangement potentially resulted in frame violations, however, as images of boom 108 (which is almost entirely in front of the point of convergence, and therefore appeared in "front" of the display frame) became obscured by the display edge at the point where boom 108 left the camera's field of view 112 (e.g. at point 114 on
More recently, some of the panel mounted displays in aerial refueling systems have been replaced by helmet or head mounted displays (HMD) that incorporate separate viewing channels ("modules") for the left and right eye, thereby eliminating the possibility of cross-talk between channels. Such displays may be readily fitted with apertures, protrusions or other physical elements that obscure edge or other appropriate portions of a miniaturized display to create a "mid-window" that effectively reduces or eliminates frame violations by blocking the portions of the display where frame violations may otherwise occur, and by presenting the viewer with the impression of looking out a traditional viewing window. The mid-window effect may be further enhanced by converging the cameras 106 at a point that is closer than the objects of interest in the captured scene. Cameras 106 are appropriately oriented to converge at some point, as reflected by the intersection of the centerlines 115 projecting from each of the cameras 106. By converging the cameras at a distance that is approximately equal to (or less than) the distance from the cameras to the point where boom 108 comes into field-of-view 112, for example, objects in the captured scene will all appear to be "behind" the plane of the display. Camera convergence points may be selected at any point within field of view 112, depending on the particular implementation. This phenomenon is described more fully below in conjunction with
With reference now to
Data processing system 201 is any data processing system or device capable of obtaining video images from RVS 208 and of processing the images to produce stereoscopic image data that can be displayed on display 222. Examples of suitable data processing systems 201 include the Remote Aerial Refueling Operation (RARO and RARO II) systems available from the Boeing Company of Long Beach, Calif. Such systems typically include a video processing system (VPS) 212 that provides video signals to display 222 and/or to an operator display panel 228 via a video switcher unit 216. In an exemplary embodiment, video processing system 212 is implemented with digital signal processing hardware and/or software capable of processing the separate video streams from cameras 202, 204 to create stereoscopic images. VPS 212 may also provide image enhancements such vertical and/or horizontal scales to indicate the boom's extension and/or azimuth, respectively, as well as indications of fuel flow rate, elapsed time and/or other relevant data. In an exemplary embodiment, VPS 212 includes an enhanced viewing system (EVS) 210 that provides special processing for stereoscopic images. Additionally, VPS 212 may include processing modules for system awareness or other functions as appropriate.
Image data processed by VPS 212 may be provided in any format to one or more display devices as appropriate. In an exemplary embodiment, stereoscopic data is provided in separate left and right channels 214L and 214R to a video switching unit 216, which appropriately directs the image data toward an operator panel display 228 and/or stereoscopic display 222 as appropriate. In an exemplary embodiment, operator panel display 228 is an aerial refueling operator control display unit (AROCDU) provided with the RARO II system and receiving image data on signal lines 226L-R.
In an exemplary embodiment, stereoscopic image data is provided to display 222 via an appropriate video interface 220. Interface 220 may incorporate any type of mechanical, electrical and/or optical connections to display 222. Interface 220 may be compatible with the Digital Video Interface (DVI) specifications (e.g. the DVI 1.0 Specification) available from the Digital Display Working Group of Santa Clara, Calif., for example, which typically operate at a frame rate of about 60 Hz. Interface 220 also provides electrical power to display 222 from the aircraft power bus system or another appropriate source. Although power requirements vary widely from embodiment to embodiment, in one exemplary embodiment interface 220 provides single phase power at about 400 Hz with a maximum current of about one ampere and voltage limits of about 105-125 VAC.
Display 222 is any display capable of receiving image data from video processing system 212 via signal path 224 and of presenting stereoscopic images to a viewer as appropriate. In an exemplary embodiment, display 222 is a head-mounted display (HMD) as may be available from several commercial vendors (including the Kaiser Electronics division of Rockwell Collins, Inc., of San Jose, Calif.) configured as set forth below. While the stereoscopic display is frequently described herein as a HMD, similar concepts could be applied in equivalent display components such as CRTs, plasma displays, flat panel displays and the like.
With reference now to
Frame violations in display 300 may be removed by any technique. In an exemplary embodiment, hardware or software in display 300 provides a "mid-window" 308 that conceals or otherwise obscures the outermost edges of displays 306L-R. Frame violation issues may be identified and obscured using software executing in display 300 and/or in VPS 212 (
Alternatively (or additionally), one or more viewing modules 312 of display 300 may be configured to include one or more physical apertures 304 or other structures to create the "mid-window" effect 308 in front of the stereoscopic image 310. Because apertures 304 are located between eyepieces 302 and display screens 306, the optical distance of the mid-window is closer than the optical distance of the display screen pixels. Just as an actual window is closer than the objects seen through the window, "mid-window" 308 appears to the viewer as being in front of the objects presented by display screen 306. If the aperture is appropriately sized to obscure some or all of the perimeter of display screen 306, framing issues are effectively reduced or eliminated. In an exemplary embodiment, apertures 304L-R are appropriately sized to conceal the outermost pixels (e.g. the outermost two pixels or so) from the perimeter of displays 306L-R, although other apertures 304 may be differently configured (e.g. to conceal between 1-10 pixels or so) in alternate embodiments. Moreover, because the aperture is physically distinct from the video display, mid-window 308 will appear to the viewer to be appropriately blurred when viewed at the periphery of vision, thereby eliminating the focus mis-cues found in certain electronic implementations. Although
By properly adjusting the cameras and viewing modules in a stereographic imaging system, effective visual representations of refueling and other scenes can be provided without frame violation issues. The particular dimensions, spatial layouts and orientations used will vary widely from embodiment to embodiment. For purposes of illustration, however, additional detail follows for one exemplary embodiment used for aerial refueling control. In this exemplary embodiment, the left and right cameras (e.g. cameras 106 in
In the exemplary system described above, apertures 304 may be located approximately halfway between eyepiece 302 and display 306 in each module 312. In such embodiments, mid-window 308 will appear approximately 13 inches from the observer's eyes, or about two inches in front of the convergence point. Because the convergence distance and the midwindow 310 are selected such that no objects will appear in front of the midwindow, and because the mid-window 308 appears in front of convergence point 310, the user is provided with a powerful visual cue resembling a standard viewing window, with all elements in the viewed scene appearing through the window. Moreover, because the user is looking "through" the virtual window, the "mid-window" appears naturally blurred, further enhancing the effect of the window. Again, the particular dimensions of actual implementations may vary dramatically from those set forth in this illustrative example.
Aperture 304 may be appropriately sized and located to function with any type of electronic display, including conventional flat panel or CRT displays. In an alternate embodiment to display 300 shown in
While at least one exemplary embodiment has been presented in the foregoing detailed description, a vast number of equivalent variations exist. While the invention has been primarily described in the context of a real-time video system, for example, the concepts described herein could be readily applied to many equivalent display environments such as displays of computer-generated imagery, still photographs, holographic images or any other type of digital or analog content. Moreover, the invention is not limited to aerial refueling uses, but rather encompasses a wide range of equivalent applications such as video games and other forms of entertainment, simulations, motion pictures, industrial automation, aerospace applications and any other applications of stereoscopic imagery. It should also be appreciated that the exemplary embodiment(s) presented herein are only examples, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the foregoing detailed description will provide those skilled in the art with a convenient road map for implementing the exemplary embodiment or embodiments. It should be understood that various changes can be made in the function and arrangement of elements without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims and the legal equivalents thereof.

Feature: Is Oculus VR creator right? Does Apple need a "good Mac"?
One of the advantages of choosing a PC is that you can have complete control over its build, and you can choose from a range of vendors. Although Apple offers a degree of customizability of the various Macs that it offers, it is still rather limited in the number and type of options you have to choose from. However, as Mac users will attest, Apple is very good at creating highly-desirable machines primarily aimed at getting things done. But does it need to make a "good Mac" in the sense of dramatically steeper graphics, as Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey suggests is needed for VR on a Mac?
