I ran into a shiny Riolu in Black a year ago. I accidentally made it faint when my starter landed a critical hit on the poor thing. I'm still bitter about it.

A Plea For Help: Charity
7 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
I'm getting married in just over five weeks!
My fiancée is raising money for charity; if we raise $50,000 by the big day, she will shave her head at the wedding. Alexandra has had long hair all her life: she's terrified but determined, so I'm determined to help.
We're already asking for donations in lieu of wedding presents, but if you've ever wanted to buy me a beer for ipchains, iptables, netfilter, module-init-tools, lguest, CCAN, Rusty's Unreliable Guides, CALU, or any other reason, I'll take a $100/$20/$5 donation here instead :)

Why Everyone Must Oppose The Merging of /usr and /
37 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
As co-editor of the last edition of the File Hierarchy Standard before it merged into the Linux Standard Base, I've been following the discussion about combining the directories /bin, /sbin and /lib into /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/lib respectively. You can follow it too, via the LWN discussion.
To summarize, there are two sides to the debate. The "pro" side points out:
- Nothing will really change for users, as symlinks will make old stuff still work.
- There are precedents in Solaris and Fedora.
- The weak reasonings used previously to separate / and /usr no longer apply.
- Separate /usr has become increasingly unsupported anyway.
- Moving to /usr will enable genuine R/O root filesystem sharing.
The "anti" side, however, raises very salient points:
- Lennart Poettering supports it.
- Lennart Poettering is an asshole.
Fellow Anti-mergers, I understand the pain and anguish that systemd has caused you personally, and your families. Your hopes and dreams crushed, by someone with all the charm of a cheese grater across the knuckles. Your remaining life tainted by this putrescent subhuman who forced himself upon your internet.
Despite the privation we have all endured, please find strength to stop this nightmarish ravaging of our once-pure filesystems. For if he's not stopped now, what hope for /usr/sbin vs /usr/bin?
The Power of Undefined Values
5 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
Tools shape the way we work, because they change where we perceive risk when we write code. If common compilers warn about something, I'll code in a way that will trigger it in case of mistakes. eg: instead of:
int err = -EINVAL; if (something()) goto out; err = -ENOSPC; if (something_else()) goto cleanup_something; ... cleanup_something: undo_something(); out: return err;
I would now set err in every branch:
int err; if (something()) { err = -EINVAL; goto out; } if (something_else()) { err = -ENOSPC; goto out; }
Because when I add another clause to the initialization and forget to set err, gcc will warn me about it being uninitialized. This bit me once, and it can be hard to spot the problem when you're only reviewing a patch, not the code as a whole.
These days, we have valgrind, and despite its fame as a use-after-free debugger, it really shines at telling you when you rely on the results of an uninitialized field. So, I've adapted to lean on it. I explicitly don't initialize structure members I don't use in a certain path. I avoid calloc(): while 0 is often less harmful than any other value, I'd much rather know that I've thought about and set up every field I actually use. When changing code this is particularly important, and I spend a lot of my time changing code. I have even changed to doing malloc() in some cases where I previously used on-stack or file-scope variables. Valgrind doesn't track on-stack usage very well, and static variables are defined to be zeroed, so valgrind can't tell when I wander into the weeds. I think these days, that's a misfeature.
So, if I were designing a C-like language today, I'd bake in the concept of undefined values, knowing that the tools to leverage it are widely available. 10 years ago, I'd have said 0-by-default is safest, but times change. I think Go chose wrong here, but it may not be as bad as C for other reasons. I'd have to code in it for a few years to really tell.
PLUG: Coding: let's have fun!
0 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
The Perth Linux User Group are flying me across next month to speak, complete with on-couch accommodation! But since I can't find an easily-linkable synopsis of my talk, here are the details:
It's hard to describe the joy of coding, if you haven't experienced it, but in this talk will try to capture some of it. Free/Open Source lets us remove the cruft which forecloses on the joy of coding: seize this chance!
I'll talk about some of my favourite projects over the last 15 years of Free Software coding: what I did, how much fun it was and some surprising results which came from it. I'll also discuss some hard lessons learned about joyless coding, so you can avoid it. There will also be a sneak peak from my upcoming linux.conf.au talk.
There'll be some awesome code to delight us. And if you're not a programmer we'll take you our journey and show you the moments of brilliance which keep us coding.
linux.conf.au: Hacking your badge for lca2012
Someone mentioned that you had to look at the source code if you wanted to hack your badge this year; I would have considered that cheating if I hadn't known. (It's been a few years since I last hacked my badge). But it helps if you look in the right place: http://lca2012.blogspot.com/2011/09/feeling-silly.html
Thanks to Tony Breeds for pointing me at that after I'd given up with the github upstream source…
Speeding CCAN Testing (By Not Optimizing)
4 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
So, ccanlint has accreted into a vital tool for me when writing standalone bits of code; it does various sanity checks (licensing, documentation, dependencies) and then runs the tests, offers to run the first failure under gdb, etc. With the TDB2 work, I just folded in the whole TDB1 code and hence its testsuite, which made it blow out from 46 to 71 tests. At this point, ccanlint takes over ten minutes!
This is for two reasons: firstly because ccanlint runs everything serially, and secondly because ccanlint runs each test four times: once to see if it passes, once to get coverage, once under valgrind, and once with all the platform features it tests turned off (eg. HAVE_MMAP). I balked at running the reduced-feature variant under valgrind, though ideally I'd do that too.
Before going parallel, I thought I should cut down the compile/run cycles. A bit of measurement gives some interesting results (on the initial TDB2 with 46 tests):
- Compiling the tests takes 24 seconds.
- Running the tests takes 12 seconds.
- Compiling the tests with coverage support takes 32 seconds.
- Running the tests with coverage support takes 32 seconds.
- Running the tests under valgrind takes 204 seconds (17x slowdown)
- Running the tests with coverage under valgrind takes 326 seconds.
It's no surprise that valgrind is the slowest step, but I was surprised that compiling is slower than running the tests. This is because CCAN "run" tests actually #include the entire module source so they can do invasive testing.
So the simple approach of compiling up once, with -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage, and running that under valgrind to get everything in one go is much slower (from 325 up to 407 seconds!). The only win is to skip running the tests without valgrind, shaving 11 seconds off (about 2%).
One easy thing to do would be to compile with optimization to speed the tests up. Valgrind documentation (and my testing) confirms that using "-O" doesn't effect the results on any CCAN module, so that should make it run faster, for very little effort. When I actually measured, total test time increases from 407 seconds to 495, because compiling with optimization is so slow. Here are the numbers:
- Compiling the tests with optimization (-O/-O2/-O3) takes 54/77/130 seconds.
- Running the tests with optimization takes 11/11/11 seconds.
- Running the tests under valgrind with optimization takes 201/208/208 seconds
So no joy there. Time to go and fix up my tests to run faster, and make ccanlint run (and compile!) them in parallel…
Professional Photographers and Licensing: Copyright Sucks
13 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
So, Alex scoured through wedding photographers, we chose one, met them, got the contract… and it stipulates that they own the copyright, and will license the images to us "for personal use". So you pay over $3,000 and don't own the images at the end (without a contract, you would). That means no Wikipedia of course, but also no Facebook; they're definitely a commercial organization. No blogs with ads. In the unlikely event that Alex or I change careers and want to use a shot for promotional materials, and the photographer has died, gone out of business or moved overseas, we're out of luck even if we're prepared to pay for it.
The usual answer (as always with copyright) is to ignore it and lie when asked. But despite my resolution a few years ago to care less about copyright, this sticks in my craw. So I asked: it's another $1,000 for me to own the copyright. I then started emailing other photographers, and that seems about standard. But why? Ignoring the obvious price-differentiation for professional vs amateur clients, photographers are in a similar bind to me: they want to use the images for promotion, say, in a collage in a wedding magazine. And presumably, the magazine insists they own the copyright. Since the photographers I emailed had varying levels of understanding of copyright, I can totally understand that simplification.
License Boilerplates
4 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
CCAN is supposed to be about the code, so I've avoided the standard GPL boilerplate comment at the top of each source file. I reluctantly include a symlink to the full license text in each directory now, since lawyers approached me to clarify the single "License:" line in _info. A useful discussion on the samba-technical mailing list has reinforced my view that it's marginal clutter, but most CCAN modules now have a one-line courtesy comment such as "/* Licensed under LGPLv2.1+ – see LICENSE file for details */" at the top of each .c and .h file.
Please make a conscious choice here: if license enforcement is a high priority for your project you probably want copyright assignments, license boilerplates and click-through agreements for everyone who downloads your source code. But if you're spending significant time or effort on legal issues for your little coding project, you're probably doing it wrong…
(ccanlint now scans for common license boilerplates, as well as those comments; this means we can also detect use of incompatible licenses inside modules, or dependent modules. The former test noticed that I'd labelled the md4 module as LGPL, yet it's actually GPL. The latter spotted that ccan/likely (LGPL) depends on ccan/htable (GPL): legal (the whole thing is actually GPL), but misleading, as Michael Adam noted). Automating this stuff is a clear win for a project like CCAN. I also re-licensed a bunch of useful-but-trivial modules from LGPL to public domain, as I want the BSD modules to use them).

Waiting For The Great Bitcoin Crash (GBC)
11 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
I like bitcoins. A simple open source client, a well-run developer community, clever algorithms, decentralized assurance model, and of course near-zero transaction fees. For all the economic arguments (some of which sound like early anti-Wikipedia arguments, though I hesitate to argue by analogy), when I first used it to tip a website, I fell in love. It took me about 3 minutes to transfer $50 from my bank account to a stranger's via my bank's website, with 2 days latency. It took me about 5 seconds to send 0.1BTC to a stranger, with about 10 minute latency. It was a revelation.
But, while bitcoins rock, volatility doesn't. It's currently a bit hard to get some bitcoins, and the price has rocketed by speculation. It's not just a cute FOSS project, it's becoming a real market, and surely those piling in now are susceptible to hacking, scams and the inevitable hiccups that go with any project ramping up. It's all going to come crashing down to earth.
Good. My hope is that after the GBC the speculators will move on. Volatility will settle. The boring work of accreting trust in this new tool will continue. I fervently hope that it we will appreciate its true utility once the dust has settled and the Man Loses A Million Dollars and House in Virtual Currency headlines have faded.
[Yes, you can tip me in bitcoins! I think it's a good habit, fun to do, and better than ads as I get a warm fuzzy feeling of appreciation. I'll be using any tips I get to tip other sites which take BTC].

Erdenechimeg is requesting a loan to buy insulation materials such as foam, cement, and other materials to insulate her home. She hopes to insulate her home and repair it before winter. As Erdenechimeg says, "it will be very beneficial to reduce my cost to the coal purchasing. Yet, it will not be healthful to the environment unless I could reduce the coal usage in winter."
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Credit Mongol's green loan program, which helps clients to purchase products for improving their heating and ventilation systems, reducing pollution and health problems caused by burning coal in the winter.
About Credit MongolCredit Mongol is the largest non-banking financial institution (NBFI) in Mongolia. Its mission is to contribute to the prosperity of Mongolians by providing high-quality, affordable and varied financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It prioritizes serving remote, rural populations that have typically lacked access to credit and other financial services. Uniquely, it offers solar panel loans to nomadic herders, most of whom live without electricity.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

The Mure Et Musc Extreme by L'Artisan. This is one of those that confuses me by smelling so simple but so good. I mean, berry body wash doesn't smell this good to me, but this isn't too far off from that smell, just better.
Guerlain's Guet-Apens. If you can envision olfactorily an amalgam of Mitsouko's spicy peach-jasmine-oakmoss harmony and the creamy sandalwood-vanilla base of Shalimar, you get the feel of Guet-Apens.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Eau de Givenchy for me this morning, the re-issue that is part of Les Parfums Mythiques collection. Notes include grapefruit, bergamot, honeysuckle, jasmine, cedar and musk.

Have a good start to the week, everybody.

SEOUL, March 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's major companies sharply cut their financial contributions to society last year although their sales increased sharply despite the global economic downturn, data showed on Wednesday.
According to the data compiled by research firm CEO Score, the top 17 companies in terms of market capitalization donated a combined 860 billion won (US$770 million) last year, compared with 1.06 trillion won a year earlier. Public firms and financial holding firms were excluded from the calculation.
Their combined sales jumped 11 percent on-year to reach 654.6 trillion won last year, the data showed.
Consequently, the portion of their donations to sales reached 0.13 percent last year, down from 0.18 percent a year earlier, they showed.
Samsung Electronics Co., the country's top market cap, made donations worth 235 billion won, the largest amount among others, but its amount fell 37 billion won last year from a year earlier.
The portion of its donations to sales stood at 0.12 percent last year, below the average figure for the surveyed firms, data showed.
POSCO, the country's top steelmaker, followed with 74 billion won worth of donations, trailed by Hyundai Motor Co. with 70.3 billion won, the data showed.

Dalyan Travel Guide: 139 reviews and 302 photos
This is the second time i have visited this remarkable place, and it seems to get more beautiful every time. On this occasion we went via a boat trip from Marmaris. This turned out to be a great day out, but rather a long one. The boat left Marmaris marina at 9.30am and sailed for about an hour around the bays, then it was a cooling swim stop in the clear blue sea. After a further 2 hours we arrived at Turtle beach and the mouth of the Dalyan river. Turtle beach and Dalyan river is protected area for the endangered loggerhead turtles. After lunch we transfered on to a small boat for the trip down the river. This river is also where the famous film AFRICAN QUEEN was made (you know ,the one with humphrey bogart),anyway the river whinds its way through reeds and bull rushes untill you come to the amazing sight of the lycium rock tombs, i have detailed this in my must see activaties. Then it was on to the mud bathes and hot mountain springs which you can also see in my must see activaties, this was a great laugh. Then it was back up the river to turtle beach and swimming on what has got to be the best beach in Turkey. At 5pm we transfered back on to the large boat and headed back to Marmaris at around 7.pm.So have a good read through my travels to Dalyan and i think you will agree that this is a very special place in this very big world.

Now I remember how much I miss Dalyan. My God, it's been more then 10 years. I'm really motivated to go back this summer having gone thru your pages. Good job! Pinar
It is neither! This is the boat owned by Rahmi, the manager of the Hotel Aydos. It is designed as a Sultan's boat. he sometimes decorates it with velvet and flower petals when one of his guests has a birthday or anniversary.
loved your pictures and comments on Dalyan. Dalyan is one of my favorite places! Mike
Great, enjoyable page full of very accurate and useful tips and beautiful pictures. Haha, I didn't see any turtles in Dalyan :-(. Turkey is the best, isn't it?
It's obvious that you love Turkey as much as I love Italy. Great tips and photos. Really enjoyed these, especially the mud baths.

Macklemore teaches San Diego a few life lessons
The Seattle rapper had much to say, both through song and speech, at Thursday night's Valley View Casino Center concert
Not content to let the song speak for itself, Macklemore exclaimed to his fans, "No government, no state, no institution, no religion, no school can tell you who to love. That is up to you." The expressive and hauntingly-beautiful singer Mary Lambert then joined him on stage to perform the track.
- Freestyling is not dead.
Macklemore reminded his young fans that there existed a time when iPhones were not around, and rappers would feel comfortable freestyling without fear that a camera could snap a potential flub and become the next viral YouTube sensation.
Macklemore professed, "I'm tired of being afraid!" during this spiel, propelling him into a freestyle rap that brought back to the stage hip-hop legend Talib Kweli, who opened the show along with Mississipi rapper Big K.R.I.T.
- Embrace all things the ridiculous.
Okay, this point wasn't exactly made through a lecture like his others. But the "embrace all things ridiculous" notion came across loud and clear through the eccentricities of Macklemore's most popular songs backed by sometimes-silly theatrics. In "Thrift Shop," "White Walls" and "Can't Hold Us" (which peculiarly was performed twice: first during the show and again as the encore) Macklemore employed larger-than-life production, costuming and flashy lighting to match the danceable beats and lyrics, which worked well in the live versions accompanied by an overly-enthusiastic band.
Everyone on Macklemore's team seemed to be in on it. Ray Dalton, the singer featured on "Can't Hold Us," strutted the stage and belted in showy costumes. The trumpeter bounced around almost as much as the rapper. A stuffed bear sat at the front of a set composed of foliage as if they were telling us, a little bizarre never hurt anybody.
The most wild and "WTF" moment of the show though, came during his finale. Embracing an alter-ego "Raven Bowie," Macklemore sang one of his 2009 hits "And We Danced" sporting a wig, glittering cape and one terrible British accent.
At 11:45 p.m. – on a school night, nonetheless – class was dismissed. Undoubtedly, fans left inspired if not educated on modern topics of today, taught by Professor Macklemore.

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to European Application No. 03103894.6 filed in Europe on 21 Oct. 2003, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The invention relates to a method of operating a balance, and it further relates to a balance which has a control unit that serves to execute an operating- and/or applications program and is equipped for this task with a processor and a memory unit and which also has at least one entry device that serves to give command signals to the control unit, wherein the control unit uses the command signals given by the entry device to control one of at least two function modules that are assigned to the entry device by the control unit dependent on the operating status of the operating and/or applications program.
A modern balance, in particular an analytical balance or a precision balance, is operated and controlled preferably without manual intervention in the functional elements of the balance, by means of an input unit from which command signals are given to the modules that are provided in the balance. For example the opening and closing of parts of the housing is performed by means of motors, each of which is controlled by signals that are given by the input unit which is equipped with entry devices and or operating elements. Each entry device or each operating element includes a sensor that serves to register influencing factors and convert them into electrical signals.
As described in the European patent EP 0 216 035 B1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, different sensors can be used for the control of a balance, where the sensors can in some cases also be integrated in the balance housing or arranged in a housing that is separate from the balance housing. For example, the modules of the balance as well as the weighing process can be controlled by speaking verbal commands into a microphone, or by means of a proximity switch, by means of pressure-sensitive keys, and/or by means of a switch that is arranged in a foot pedal. It is further possible to use a so-called soft key to which a selected function is given through a fixed assignment.
The U.S. Pat. No. 6,246,018 B1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, discloses a balance with a motor-driven draft-protection device which has at least one sensor that serves to register the position of individual panels of the draft-protection device. Thus, the fact that an opened panel is at its end position can be registered and stored. A desired configuration of panels that are to be open or shut can be set by way of a learning function. Subsequently, the draft-protection device can be opened and closed in the set configuration by pressing a dedicated key. In this arrangement, the sensors register the respective states "open" or "closed", and when the key is actuated, the panels are either closed or opened, depending on their current state.
In addition, a balance with an antenna is known from the German patent application publication DE 101 34 281 A1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, where the antenna serves to receive signals from a transponder that is attached to the object that is to be weighed. Under this concept, data called up from the transponder can be used to control the balance.
A description of sensors that serve to register a diversity of physical quantities, for example force, pressure, sound and light intensity, and to convert them into electrical signals is found in U. Tietze, Ch. Schenk, Halbleiterschaltungstechnik, 11th edition, 2nd printing, Springer Verlag, Berlin 1999, in chapter 23, pages 1221-1223, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
In the operation of the balances according to the known state of the art, the user is faced with the task of actuating the correct entry devices, operating elements, or sensors in each phase during the weighing process. It is therefore necessary to provide the balance with the required number of input units with entry devices or operating elements or sensors. The user, on the other hand, is required to take notice of and correctly select among the often numerous input possibilities.
As a result, there are often undesirable time losses associated with the operation of the balance, particularly in fast-paced weighing processes.
A method is disclosed by which the balance can be operated in a more advantageous way that is simpler, more flexible and faster, and to also provide a balance that functions according to this method.
A method of operating a balance and a balance, are disclosed.
The method serves to operate and control a balance which has a control unit that serves to execute an operating- and/or applications program, and which further has at least one entry device that serves to enter command signals into the control unit, wherein the control unit uses the command signals given by the entry device to control one of at least two function modules that are assigned to the entry device by the control unit dependent on the operating status of the operating- and/or applications program. The at least one entry device is arranged separate from the balance in the housing of a freely movable input unit.
The user is informed through one or more optical indications about the assignment of the function modules to the entry device, which makes the weighing process convenient to control. The freely movable input unit is equipped with indicator means, in particular light-emitting diodes which indicate the currently assigned function module, and/or a small liquid crystal indicator device is fitted to the housing of the freely movable input unit. In particular, the freely movable input unit is equipped with an acoustical and/or optical feedback device which cooperates with the entry device, for example a conspicuously placed light-emitting diode that gives a confirming feedback signal to the user when the entry device has been actuated.
This gives the user the confidence that the entry device has been triggered, whereby the reliability of the method is increased.
In an exemplary embodiment, a change in the assignment where a new function module is assigned to the entry device during the execution of the operating program and/or applications program is likewise signaled by means of a feedback signal device.
It is therefore possible to control several function modules with the at least one entry device, such as hardware- and/or software modules that are used, e.g., for opening and closing the doors of the weighing compartment, for the zero-setting of the balance, the tare function, or the printing of the measured results. In each of these phases of the weighing process, the currently required function module is assigned to the entry device. Thus the attention of the user can be focused completely or to a large extent on the operation of the entry device. However, exemplary embodiments also include the possibility that information resulting from the weighing process, e.g., data belonging to the weighing sample, is registered by the entry device.
If a direct intervention by the user in a measuring process becomes necessary where it is not possible for the user to operate an indicating- and operating unit of the balance, the user can position the freely movable input unit at a suitable location, if necessary even inside the weighing compartment, in order to control the weighing process comfortably, for example with a hand- or finger movement. This allows the user to work with his hands in a so-called glove box or flow box and to control the weighing process rapidly and conveniently without interruption.
The particular advantage of operating a balance by means of an entry device based on a work sequence, for example an applications program, lies in a simplified and therefore more economical operation of the balance.
It is further possible to connect the input unit simultaneously to a balance and to an additional device. For example, a balance and a conveyor device connected to the balance are connected to an input unit of this kind, which can also have two entry devices, one of which is used to control the balance and the other to control the conveyor device.
In principle, the input unit can be anything from a very simple terminal to an intelligent terminal. In the most basic embodiment, the input unit comprises a switch that is connected by way of a cable to an input of the balance. More complex configurations may include input units that are processor-controlled, equipped with network modules, equipped with a display, and capable of multi-channel operation.
An advantageous embodiment of the balance has a further input unit with operating elements, e.g., an indicating and operating unit. This arrangement is practical as it allows a flexible use of the balance in cases where the balance needs to be operable with entry devices according to the present invention as well as in the conventional mode.
The operating elements are for example function keys that are integrated in a further input unit that was referred to above, or in a keyboard that is arranged in a housing, or in a touch-sensitive liquid crystal display.
At least one entry device can be arranged in the housing of the balance or in the housing of this further input unit.
The balance functions that can be executed by means of the entry device are preferably identical to the balance functions that can be executed by means of the operating elements of the further input unit, e.g., an indicating and operating unit. With an appropriate choice of the procedural steps of the weighing process, it is therefore possible that the process control is performed exclusively by means of the at least one entry device.
If the entry devices are integrated together with the operating elements in a housing of the further input unit, the manufacturing cost will be lower. On the other hand, using a wireless or wire-connected freely movable input unit in which the entry devices are integrated provides the balance with remote control capability, whereby the undesirable influences on the measuring process are avoided which can be caused by manipulations on the balance. Furthermore, the user is free to choose a convenient location from which to control the weighing process. For example, the user can control the weighing process from his work station at a remote location from the balance. A wireless or wire-connected input unit according to the invention is freely movable and simple to relocate. It can also be mounted in different places by means of a holder, e.g., on the wall or on the work surface. Thus, a freely movable, wireless or wire-connected unit helps to improve the ergonomic aspects and increase the flexibility in the application of the balance.
After an input unit that is equipped, e.g., with a processor and a memory module has been connected to the balance, or to a further input unit or interface junction box which may be part of the layout, the control unit reads data which are stored in the freely movable and in this case wireless input unit and which relate to the freely movable input unit itself and/or to the user of the input unit, so that the system consisting of the balance and the two input units can be configured correctly. For example, if the freely movable wireless or wire-connected input unit is equipped with a microphone as an entry device, the control unit will activate an adapter module that supports the voice-controlled operation, converting audio signals into digital instructions that are suitable for the control of the function module that they are addressed to.
In a further advantageous embodiment, the control unit and the freely movable wireless or wire-connected input unit include network modules that work, e.g., according to the Bluetooth™ standards, so that they are capable of detecting the presence of services offered by the input unit and of using the services after the communication has been established. These so-called salutation- and service discovery protocols which permit the automatic joining of a component to a network as well as the required reconfiguration of the network are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2002/0120750 A1, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The user can therefore use a freely movable input unit of a type which is suitable for the communication with different laboratory instruments and is capable of automatically establishing communication with a balance.
The invention will hereinafter be described in more detail based on drawings, wherein:
The balance 1 can be operated in a conventional manner by means of the operating elements 10, which may be realized, e.g., in the form of mechanical, electronic or optoelectronic switches.
The keys <→0←> and <→T←> serve to execute the functions "zero" and "tare". The drive mechanism for the doors and the transfer of the measuring results to a printer are controlled by the keys labeled <DOOR> and <PRINT>, respectively. Furthermore, the balance 1 and the measuring procedures that are performed by the balance can be configured and their parameters can be set by means of the keys labeled <SETUP> and <APPL>. In addition, the key labeled <USER> serves to store user-specific data in the balance 1.
However, the balance functions of zero-setting, tare-setting, operating the doors and printing can also be realized with each of the two entry devices 20, 20′ which are configured, e.g., as mechanical, electronic, or optoelectronic switches. In an exemplary embodiment, the entry devices 20, 20′ are configured as infrared- or ultrasound proximity switches. Based on the operating and/or applications program 61 of the balance 1, the control unit 6 inside the balance 1 (see
The balance functions of zero-setting, tare-setting, operating the doors and printing, which can be assigned to the entry devices 20, 20′, as well as a freely selectable balance function "F", are marked below the entry devices 20, 20′ on the respective field 28, 28′ as words or symbols and can be signaled by associated light-emitting diodes 21, . . . , 25. The illustrated arrangement in the border area of the indicating and operating unit 5 is particularly advantageous as the lighting of the signals at this location is conspicuously visible, and because it is an optical signal, it is easily noticeable even in a noisy environment.
After an assignment of a balance function or a change in the assignment has been executed, a confirming signal can be given by means of a further light-emitting diode 26 and/or acoustically by means of the loudspeaker 33. However, a particular purpose of the light-emitting diode 26, which is labeled "conf" is to acknowledge when an entry device 20, 20′ has been actuated to call one of the function modules 71, 72, . . . into action. In this context, the confirming feedback prompted by an assignment can be different from the feedback signal prompted by the actuation of the entry device 10, 20′ when calling up a function module 71, 72, . . . . For example, the respective signals can include blinking once in the first case, and more than once in the second case, or blinking at respectively different frequencies of pulsating light.
The applications program 61 of the balance 1 determines the assignment of the balance functions that is specific to the selected weighing process.
One of the measuring processes that can be performed includes, for example, the dosage-weighing of a selected substance, which is described in EP 0 216 035 B1, column 1. This procedure requires, e.g., that the door 4 of the weighing compartment 3 be opened and closed several times. The function of operating the doors is therefore preferably assigned to the left-hand entry device 20.
With an appropriate assignment, the right-hand entry device 20′ can be used as a confirming key, where the operating- and/or applications program 61 assigns the function <RETURN> or <OK> to the freely selectable key function "F".
Thus, the user can actuate the door drive mechanism through the left-hand entry device 20 as often as necessary for the dosage-weighing process and subsequently signal the completion of the dosage-weighing process through the right-hand entry device 20, so that the control unit 6 can subsequently make a new assignment of the balance functions to the entry devices 20, 20′. For example, at this point the applications program can assign the "Print" function to the right-hand entry device 20′, so that the user does not have to take his hand off the right-hand entry device 20′ in order to print the results.
For the entire duration of the assignment of a function module 71, 72, . . . in the case of the door-drive actuation described above, the light-emitting diode 21 is lit in the left-hand border strip 28. In the right hand border strip 28′, the light-emitting diode 25 of the freely selectable balance function "F" is lit, to which the <RETURN>- or <OK>-function has been assigned. After the assignment of the right-hand entry device 20′ has been changed to the new assignment "Print", the light-emitting diode 25 goes off and the light-emitting diode 22 is activated instead. The light-emitting diodes 26 in each case acknowledge the actuation of the respective entry device 20, 20′, for example by blinking for a short time interval. This provides the user with the assurance that the program sequence is being executed correctly.
As illustrated in
The mobile, freely movable input unit 50, which can be connected to the balance 1 through an electrical cable or through wireless communication, e.g., by radio transmission, can be operated at a remote location from the balance 1, for example at the desk of the user. In the illustrated configuration, the liquid crystal display 301 therefore serves to indicate the required instructions or measuring results, so that the weighing process can in practice be controlled exclusively by means of the freely movable input unit 50. In this case, an indicating and operating unit 5 is not an indispensable requirement. If the balance 1 is equipped with an automated control module or a robot, the user can carry out a complete series of measurements without having to be present in the vicinity of the balance 1.
An entry device 20, 20′, 20″, forms an operative unit together with the light-emitting diodes 21, . . . , 25 for the balance functions and the light-emitting diode 26 for the confirming feedback.
The freely movable input unit 50 shown in
In the illustrated example, an indicating and operating unit 5 is wire-connected as a further input unit to the control unit 6 by way of an additional interface module 66.
For the wireless connection of one or more input units 50, one could consider a communication by radio- or infrared transmission. For an exemplary embodiment, however, a network module 65 is proposed which works according to the Bluetooth™ standards whereby intelligent network units that are present within radio transmission range can be made to work together in a network.
As described in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2002/0120750, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, the Bluetooth concept provides the possibility by means of salutation- and service procedures to detect when network units within radio range are available for service and to configure the network accordingly. Thus, the control unit 6 can, e.g., detect the presence of a printer that is equipped with a Bluetooth-conforming network card 65 and—after performing the required configuration procedures—to use the services of the printer for printing the measurement results. The control unit 6 likewise detects the availability of information services or input functions from the freely movable input unit 50 and—after performing the required configuration procedures—sends interrogation signals to the freely movable input unit 50 and receives the response signals. Thus, the entry devices 20, 20′, 20″ perform the functions of sensors that deliver to the control unit 6 the information required for carrying out the weighing process. As previously mentioned, this information can be entered by the user, or there could be process units to scan or read the information off the weighing object, for example by means of a code reader, which is likewise being considered among the possible entry devices 20, 20′, 20″.
To process the signals transmitted by the entry device 20, 20′, 20″, the arrangement includes appropriate adapter modules 64 for each type of sensor, such as a proximity sensor, or a microphone for voice input, etc. Depending on the individual system, analog voice signals of the user may have to be converted into digital command signals, or digital signals may have to be decoded, or a switch position may have to be interrogated periodically.
For example when performing certain types of serial measurements, the balances 1, 1′ can be operated with the indicating and operating unit 5 alone. If the user finds it necessary, he can activate a freely movable input unit 50 by switching it on. According to the Bluetooth protocol, the freely movable input unit 50 now receives so-called inquiry signals through which the control unit 6 of the balance 1 detects whether additional Bluetooth units are within range. In response, the freely movable input unit 50 returns its address data, which are subjected to a test in the control unit 6 to determine whether a connection is to be established. Thus, the control unit 6 can exclude units that are alien to the system and take up communication only with desired network units. This can be accomplished already by adding a suitable code to the inquiry signals, whereby the unwanted units are excluded. Thus, the user can establish an address list and thereby determine which network units are to be included in the network. By means of paging signals, the control unit 6 can subsequently make contact with the respective network unit and inquire what services are available from the network unit in case this information could not already be determined from the address data. Subsequently, the control unit 6 can reconfigure the expanded balance system, so that the services of the network unit can be used (see US 2002/0120750 A1, columns 1 and 2).
Thus, as the simplest solution, the control unit 6 can determine from the address data of the freely movable input unit 50 what sensors are used in the input unit, whereupon the control unit 6 implements the required adapter modules 64 required for the respective sensors. Of course, it is also possible to use a freely movable input unit 50 for two balances 1, 1′ which send their addresses along with their respective inquiry transmissions, so that the freely movable input unit 50 can indicate to the user which of the balances 1, 1′ he is currently communicating with.
The balance 1 according to the invention has been described and illustrated in an exemplary embodiment. However, based on the teachings of the invention, a person skilled in the relevant art will be able to realize further embodiments. In particular, it is possible to use different technologies for the connection of the freely movable input unit 50 to the balance 1. Furthermore, the further input unit, normally an indicating and operating unit 5, or the input unit 50, and/or the housing 2 of the balance can be provided with one or more entry devices 20, 20′, 20″ which are equipped with sensors that serve to enter information and which work according to different principles (see U. Tietze, Ch. Schenk, Halbleiterschaltungstechnik, 11thedition, 2nd printing, Springer Verlag, Berlin 1999, chapter 23, pages 1221-1223).
In the realization of more complex systems, the operating and applications procedures can be adapted individually to the users.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restricted. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description and all changes that come within the meaning and range and equivalence thereof are intended to be embraced therein.

yeah he is doing the clutch too. To be honest im really not sure if they checked the pump too, i will definitely ask. I will also get them to check the glow plugs, i didnt realise that would cause the smoke, last time there was a problem with the glow plugs it came up on the dash saying engine systems fault or something like that and it put the car into a kind of safe mode, it didnt have problems starting. But when that happened no one could seem to find the fault and i ended up having to take it to ford. Thanks very much for the tips guys :)
Thanks very much :)

Help! Starting Problems!
Sam.b posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi everyone, i wonder if anyone can give me any help or advice please? I drive a Focus 1.8 TD 2006, the car has been having some intermittant starting problems, its turning over and on the occasions it does start its kicking out some white smoke. The car has just been serviced and had a new fuel filter fitted shortly after. Turns out i need a new fly wheel which is getting fitted next week, this had caused some iron filings to be covering the crank sensor but that has been changed and its still the same. The injectors have been tested and seem fine. Im a stupid girl and dont really know much about cars ha ha they guy who is fitting the fly wheel is at a lose end and cant figure out why it might be doing it. Hellllllppppp. Thanks :)

Haaz Sleiman
Birth Name: Haaz Sleiman
Birth Place: Lebanon
Born in Lebanon, Sleiman's path to the United States was remarkably similar to that of his character Tarek in "The Visitor." He also moved from the Middle East to Michigan and later to New York to pursue musical aspirations, though Sleiman's true talent was singing. He eventually found work as an actor, and earned his earliest exposure as a soldier in the off-Broadway play "The Joys of Lipstick" (2003), about an Iranian family who attempts to retain their cultural heritage in the United States. A year later, Sleiman made his feature debut in the gay-themed comedy "The Ski Trip" (2004) as a muscle-bound hustler who becomes part of a hectic weekend getaway.The year 2006 proved to be a watershe...

From the video reviews I've seen these maps look pretty cool. Sandbox should provide lots of customizing fun.
Dragoshi1 Apr 11, 09Assembly is the only map that sucks. I always feel exposed on it. Orbital is great(GREAT) for capture the flag and bomb runs. Sandbox is the best map out of all of them.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Gates is one of the thousands of new names that the Norman Conquest brought to England in 1066. The Gates family lived in Lancashire. The name, however, refers to the family's residence near an important thoroughfare or main road. It derives from the Old English root gate, which means road or thoroughfare.
The surname Gates was first found in Lancashire where they held a family seat from early times.
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Gate, Gates and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Gates research. Another 226 words (16 lines of text) covering the years 1164, 1206, 1260, 1275, and 1379 are included under the topic Early Gates History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Gates Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, traveling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Gates or a variant listed above:
Gates Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Gates Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Gates Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Gates Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Gates Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Gates Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Gates Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The Gates Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Gates Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Japanese tyre manufacturer Bridgestone Corp has announced that it is to invest some EUR267mn (US$345mn) to triple tyre production capacity at its facility in Hungary. The site will produce some 18,000 tyres per day by mid-2017. The company states that the expansion will be to keep production in line with global demand. BMI believes that, despite our bearish outlook on vehicle production in the country, we will see some investment from auto suppliers seeking to export.
|No Return In Sight
|Vehicle Production, CBUs
Production and Manufacturing in Hungary
BMI maintains a relatively bearish outlook on vehicle production in Hungary, forecasting a 1.3% decline in 2012. Although we forecast moderate increases in production levels over the remainder of our forecast period to 2017, we believe total production levels will not return to their 2008 highpoint ( see graph) during this time.
Furthermore, we believe that weakening industrial confidence both at home and abroad, deteriorating credit channels, poor external demand, and tight domestic policy will all act to hold back firms' capacity and appetite for large-scale investment projects over the next few quarters. Leading indicator data continue to bear out this view, with industrial production growth still in negative growth territory, and latest industrial survey readings falling to their lowest levels since late 2009 ( see our online service, September 21, 'Only Modest Growth Expected In 2013').
Supplier Segment
Despite this relatively bearish vehicle production outlook, and for manufacturing more generally, a number of firms have recently invested in the country, particularly in the supplier segment. On October 19, South Korean tyre manufacturer Hankook Tire announced that it is to invest more than HUF2.40bn (US$11.29mn) to expand its Hungarian facility, producing 34,000 tyres per day, exporting to European automobile manufacturers.
BMI believes that the ongoing decline in passenger car sales across Europe has had a rather muted impact on the auto supplier segment in the region ( see our online service, August 16, 'Supplier Segment Stays Strong, Despite Autos Downturn'). We expect to see ongoing investments in the supplier segment across the region.

Georgia has many charitable clinics that take an individual's income under consideration when providing dental care. Patients must contact each clinic individually for details on fees and services and appointments. Clinics may have waiting lists for services; be open only on certain days; accept only patients from certain counties; or not accept emergencies. Patients may wish to check with their local department of health for information about care that may be available for persons under age 21.
Please note that most of these of clinics do not accept emergency, walk-in patients, nor do they distribute narcotics.
This clinic list may not include all charitable clinics in the state. If you know of a clinic that is not listed, email that information to email@example.com. The GDA does not endorse any clinic listed here, nor does the GDA make any representations or promises regarding the type or quality of care provided at these clinics.
Individuals may also wish to visit the website for the Georgia Charitable Care Network.
