Mr. Fenn is not an investor he is a industry expert in touch screens. He questions a lot of the hyperbole about Uni-Boss on Seeking Alpha where the pixie pumpers dismiss him as a crackpot. You should read his concerns over on SA. Good stuff!
I was told by a colleague who actually had a chance to see the demo panels that Unipixel was supposedly showing at Computex. He claimed to have seen several defective traces in one of the prototypes. He also said that electronic noise from the actual display was interfering with the performance of another panel. LCDs are well know RFI/EMI noise generators. Unipixel will need to consider how to better protect their films from this background noise. It is discoveries like this that always pop up during the prototyping process. For some reason the optimistic management team at Unipixel didn't seem to think they would have set backs like this. Now that it is almost mid July, where are the orders that will fill the shelves by the 4th qtr. 2013?
Noise from LCD panel is a touch controller issue, not a sensor one. Of course if there is noise, the sensor will sense it, then it is the role of the controller to reject the effect of noise. So similar sensor designs with the same type of LCD can show different performance depending on which controller it goes with and which sensitivity is set etc... That should be obvious for touchscreen industry experts.
Sentiment: Hold
You forget his consulting business could be valueless when the ito technology is no longer in demand. Hope that explains it, ito goes away then fenn does as well
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Did I ever tell you guys that I am, in reality, the world's foremost authority on all technology including touch sensors for LCD displays? No, really! Seriously. You just read it right here on the internet, so obviously it's the gospel truth. And in my capacity as the world's foremost authority on all technology, I'm telling you right here, right now, that UNXL UniBoss is gonna be the biggest thing since transistors. Remember, you heard it here first. You may thank me now.
Sentiment: Buy
and I thought you were a french model.
YOU CLAIM TO BE A highly successful man why not incorporate, ALONG WITH MR FENN, and invest say $100,000,000.00 of your own money to compete within this market . if short on cash you could try an IPO , BUT THEN THEY WOULD CLOSELY CHECK YOUR BACKGROUNDS AND THE PRODUCT YOU PLAN TO MARKET. THEN YOU HAVE TO RENT SPACE INVENT A GROUNG BREAKING PRODUCT AND HIRE FINANCIAL,LEGAL,PRODUCTION, AND OTHERS AND REPORT YOUR PROGRESS TO YOUR LENDERS. I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT IS A PIPE DEAM. YOU APPEAR TO BE A VERY POOR SALESMAN MABE USED CARS WOULD PROVIDE YOU A LIVING WAGE.

I would have thought you had the good cense to get off this board, nothing you say has any worth you are a consultant to a small consultant that's specializes in a field about to be wiped out by newer more effective ,efficient tech.. you are history as is your so called career. your impute is worthless here., ignored
Sentiment: Strong Buy
we see your still breathing ,good to know . have you now realized you and your buddy an ITO specialist are fighting the good fight . but technology moves on and seems you both are stuck in the past as a result his small consultant group will grow smaller and you will be looking for a new line of work, good luck on your new career hope you find something you're better at than the stock market. almost forgot , you were a retail broker I believe for a time . that small wall street firm my daughter worker for MORAN STANLEY also did not take your advice and greatly increased their position on unxl as of the report 6/30 . I guess their experts that review all the material and are responsible for DD did not agree with John Fenn. their pros that reviewed the market and ITO VS NEWER MORE EFFECTIVE COST EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY, AND THAT USE 75% LESS POWER USED THEIR knowledge from CAL TEC,MIT,ETC. these universities of higher learning are considered the finest tech universities in the world but as you and mr fenn discuss what has been successful. these folks are now in bed with UNXL is the future, Intel knows it, as does Dell, KODAK ,SYNAPICITICS, AND NOW ANOTHER MAJOR electronics firm , TO BE NAMED VERY SOON. THE TRAIN IS PULLING OUT OF THE STATION AND YOU MISSED CONNECTIONS,BEST OF LUCK IN 20TH century TECHNOLOGY ,IT IS A NEW DAWN MY FRIEND ,adapt of perish, your choice, I know, I know life isn't fair ,your mom should have told you that and many other usefull lessons, goodby

Finn = good dialogue
"I was told by a colleague"
This as all second hand info. How many shares was the colleague short?
SA appears to have no oversight. they clearly publish articles that are the opinion of the author. there therefore no fact checking , additionally, you have stated you are short the stock so no fact check presented by a person who has a vested interested monitory interest in reducing the pps of the stock. . in another post you refer to a person known to you so at best it is hearsay. my conclusion you have material not worthy of serious consideration.. next
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Thanks for finding this valuable industry news. It looks like Apple is using in-cell touch screens. Fenn doesn't see them using metal mesh. Interesting. Thanks for this useful info. Jel
More from Mr Fenn:
Why do all the commenters just refer to Unipixel and Atmel as the only mesh makers about whom the market revolves? There are a few large players in Asia that also see the attraction of the larger diagonal touch panel market. They smell the profit as well and are already in production. Also, it is well known that an Asia customer will favor a local supplier over a foreign one. For example, Lenovo will always favor a Chinese manufacturer first, then a near by supplier. A company who is shipping from TX or NY will be last on the list of suppliers.
Finally, it is foolish to think that a US based supplier will be able to sell at a lower price and maintain a high profit margin. The touch panel business is cut throat. Last year there were over 100 TP manufacturers in Asia. They are all competing in the consumer driven electronics market, where price pressure is constant. A 40-50% gross margin is a dream in this business. It is not going to happen.
Before you start spouting off, get your facts straight. Manufacturing local is only a small part of the criteria. Lenovo is opening a plant in NORTH CAROLINA to make laptops, tablets and PCs in order to compete in the North American market. They also have plants in Mexico and Brazil, not just China. Hmmm....look at all the manufacturing that is returning to the US....hmmm...wonder why they are branching out into GLOBAL markets??? HAHA There are 1000s of everything in Asia...which is why it is imploding and manufacturing is returning to more stable venues.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
More Mr Fenn:
I truly wish that somebody would do a top down analysis of the market potential for UniBoss in the PCAP market. I have yet to read one comment that is considering the OGS and in cell solutions that are already being used by Apple. These are both potentially cheaper than ITO/glass, ITO/glass/film or ITO/film/film and provide for a slimmer device.
I would also like to see more than 1 micro mesh competitor, ATMEL, analyzed. 3-4 Asian TP manufacturing companies has announced the availability of larger diagonal TPs made from micro meshes. Since Unipixel, at least as far as I know, has yet to produce their film units. So these units are not using UniBoss.
I would also like to see a side by side calculation of the cost of making a mesh based TP vs. an ITO based panel, taking in consideration of potential yields and production down time for changing PCAP designs. It is well known that there are many different electrode designs required, even within a single companies order!
I am probably becoming boring and redundant with my requests for real numbers and facts. Anything can be claimed, but much less can be proven. As I have said before, I think the UniBoss concept has value, but it will probably not dominate the TP film business like ITO has in the past. I don't think all the ITO manufacturing companies have been standing still in their R&D labs to figure out how to compete with mesh and Ag nano wire technologies, do you?
Dude, help out a fellow bro and spot me the URL, short an strong.
dude I am clueless and have no idea how to locate this dude. because I want to post his findings and take credit for finding the information. hey dude have you tried to google his name? if not give it a try .if you have googled the mans name and nothing comes up doesn't that make a big statement about in person in question. is it possible DUDE this man might not be well known at all just a free lancer who has some knowledge of the industry, does this industry expert own a consulting firm of his own and get assignments from large firms when and if they need an outside POV or maybe he has experience in the field but currently is unemployed . I do not know any of the answers as such I will take the evaluation of 3 industry multi billion dollar corporations who employee the finest experts in all fields related to the product.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
seeking alpha is a blog free to anyone who wants it . this article might have validity if it were published by the Wall Street Journal were facts are checked and double checked and reviewed by highly regarded industry experts. additionally , if the performance had so many problems do you think someone from Intel ,Dell ,or Kodak might have noticed. although your industry expert would like to validate the numbers do you think the financial ,legal, marketing ,and technical staffs of intel ,Dell ,and Kodak would have been so unprofessional as to have not done the comparisons themselves with their world class science experts themselves before committing tens of millions of dollars to the project. and a thought to consider I know nothing of the man, . you are saying is an industry expert, why is he not currently employed by the likes of Apple, Google, Facebook, etc these firms pay real world class talent unbelievable salaries with massive stock incentives that can make a true world class industry expert rich beyond his wildest expecations.

Neema's Group
This will be Neema's second's loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. She used the previous loan to open a small pharmacy and has paid back her loan successfully. She wants to get her second loan to increase on the pharmacy business.
Neema will share this loan with subgroup c of the Mandela group. The subgroup has 6 members, who sell second hand clothes, sell food, video cassettes and new clothes. These members will hold each other accountable in paying back their loans. In the picture, Neema is 1st on the right.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Headless Horseman : A Strange Tale of Texas Legend
ISBN13:by REID,MAYNE
Trade Paper
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 00 edition with a publication date of 2/17/2013.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
The legend of the headless horseman is one that has roots in a number of different countries and cultures, dating back much farther than Washington Irving's well-known tale. Captain Mayne Reid's tale, published nearly forty years later, is based on a well-known Texas folk tale. Set in nineteenth-century Texas, The Headless Horseman tells the story of Louise Poindexter, who is a newcomer to town. Courted by Cassius Calhoun and Maurice Gerald, Louise finds that her life takes a turn when her brother, Henry Poindexter, is found murdered. The tale twists further when it is reported that a headless horseman has been seen on the Poindexter plantation. In this classic tale, Mayne Reid takes readers on an incredible journey to discover the killer of Henry Poindexter and solve the mystery of the Headless Horseman. The Headless Horseman is an overlooked gem, a classic piece of literature, and an edge-of-your-seat mystery thriller. Originally published in 1866, this edition is a faithful reprint of a rare and out-of-print masterpiece.

Dependents of an eligible veteran may be authorized for a waiver to cover 100% of tuition charges and tuition-related fees to the University of Nebraska campuses, Nebraska state colleges and Nebraska community colleges. Applications are submitted to the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs by contacting the County Veterans' Service Office nearest the applicant's place of residence.
The University of Nebraska, the Nebraska State College System, and the Nebraska Community College System participate in a waiver of tuition program that will provide a credit of 100% of tuition charges and tuition-related fees (books are NOT covered) for spouses & children of eligible veterans; as set forth in NE Revised State Statute 80-411.
Waiver of Tuition is available to eligible dependents of veterans who:
- are rated permanently and totally disabled as a result of military service; or
- have died of a service connected disability; or
- have died subsequent to discharge as a result of injury or illness sustained while a member of the armed forces; or
- have been classified as missing in action or a prisoner of war during armed hostilities while a member of the armed forces.
A dependent is a spouse or surviving spouse, child, step-child, or adopted child of an eligible veteran. The dependent must be a Nebraska resident & enrolled in one of the approved institutions, meeting residency requirements for in-state tuition.
The waiver is valid for ONE degree, diploma, or certificate from a community college; and ONE baccalaureate degree from the university or a state college. Receipt of the degree, diploma, or certificate shall precede receipt of such baccalaureate degree. Waiver of Tuition is not available for master's, doctoral, or professional degrees.
A child dependent's eligibility will cease at the age of 26. The only exception is if the child dependent served on active duty with the armed forces after their 18th birthday, but before their 26th birthday. If this is the case, the student's eligibility for waiver will end 5 years after their 1st discharge from active duty, but shall not exceed beyond their 31st birthday.
Approved Institutions
- University of Nebraska (Kearney, Lincoln, Omaha, UNMC, School of Tech Ag)
- Chadron State College
- Peru State College
- Wayne State College
- Central Community College (Columbus, Grand Island, Hastings, Holdrege)
- Metropolitan Community College
- MidPlains Community College (McCook, North Platte)
- Northeast Community College
- Southeast Community College (Beatrice, Lincoln, Milford)
- Western Nebraska Community College (Alliance, Scottsbluff, Sidney)
Waiver of Tuition School Contacts (Updated: 05/04/2016)
In order for a student to receive a waiver of tuition, they must meet the Nebraska residency standards for in-state tuition. NE R.S.S. 85-502 defines the minimum requirements that individuals must meet in order to be eligible for in-state tuition. If the residency requirement has not been met, the student will experience a delay in receiving the waiver of tuition until those requirements are met.
How to Apply for Waiver of Tuition
As required by NE R.S.S. 80-411, applications must be submitted through a County Veterans Service Office.
Applications must be submitted in time for proper processing and certification PRIOR to the beginning of any school term. The NE Department of Veterans' Affairs cannot be held responsible for any delay not attributable to its processing of the application.
A new Waiver of Tuition application will need to be submitted if you:
- have never applied for Waiver of Tuition before;
- change schools;
- do not attend a term, other than the summer term; or
- take additional classes at another school
If you have not previously applied for Waiver of Tuition, the following documents will need to be submitted with your application:
- Veteran's Discharge Certificate (DD Form 214)
- Copy of a Certified Birth Certificate on file with Vital Statistics for the child-dependent; or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. A copy of the Hospital Memorabilia Birth Certificate will not be accepted.
- The veteran's name MUST be listed on the document. If it is not, other legal documents from the court may be used to prove relation (i.e. adoption papers, child support order, divorce decree, etc.)
- Copy of a Marriage Certificate on file with Vital Statistics
- If the applicant is a spouse, this document is needed to prove marriage to the veteran.
- If the applicant is a step-child, this document is needed to prove the parent and veteran's marriage.
- If the veteran's child-dependent is married, this document is needed to prove the name change.

The second proviso in § 8 of the Naturalization Act of June 29, 1906, c. 3592, 34 Stat. 596, permitting naturalization of aliens who cannot speak English if, before the passage of that act, they have made declarations of intention in conformity with prior laws, has no bearing on the relation of the seven-year limitation prescribed by § 4, subdivision second, of the act, to declarations filed before its passage. Giving effect to the purpose expressed in the title of the Naturalization Act of June 29, 1906, "to provide for a uniform rule for the naturalization of aliens throughout the United States," the requirement of subdivision second of § 4 that the petition for citizenship shall be filed not more than seven years after the alien has made his declaration of intention is held applicable to declarations made
before the act was passed; the enactment does not invalidate such old declarations, but the time runs upon them from its date. So held where the declaration was made December 15, 1905, and the petition for citizenship was not filed until December 21, 1914.
The case is stated in the opinion.

Remove finger squeaks
from guitar or bass
Remove finger squeaks in guitar and bass
Anyone who's recorded guitar or bass has
had to contend with finger squeaks that are
captured with the recording. Depending on
how loud they are in relation to the guitar
tone, squeaks can mar an otherwise good
recording. Generally, you can't just cut them
out using conventional DAW editing tools,
because a squeak usually overlaps some of
the tone so removing it would create an
unnatural dropout.
The RX audio restoration suite (the
current versions are RX3 and RX3 Advanced)
from iZotope has a brilliant module called
Spectral Repair, which removes squeaks by
replacing them with interpolated material
from the surrounding audio. In most cases
(except where a squeak is really long), you
should be able to remove them in a very
natural-sounding way.

Asian markets mostly rose on Wednesday, boosted by another record high for the Dow on Wall Street while concerns over the Cyprus bailout receded.
The euro also edged higher, although dealers remain uneasy about the outlook for the wider eurozone in light of the Cyprus crisis while there is also ongoing political uncertainty in Italy.
Tokyo climbed 0.18 percent, or 22.17 points, to 12,493.79 and Sydney added 0.91 percent, or 44.8 points, to close at 4,995.0, while Seoul advanced 0.91 percent, or 9.74 points, to 1,993.44.
Hong Kong rose 0.57 percent but Shanghai was off 0.35 percent.
Equity markets have stabilised since Nicosia agreed a last-minute deal with its international lenders that will see it receive a $13 billion rescue package to help pay its bills.
And while the decision to tax bank savings above 100,000 euros raised fears of a similar move in future rescues -- reinforced by comments from the head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers -- officials said Tuesday that Cyprus was a special case.
Wall Street provided the catalyst for buying as the Dow rose 0.77 percent to end at a new record, while the S&P 500 added 0.78 percent to close just two points shy of its own all-time high set in October 2007.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rose 17.18 (0.53 percent) to 3,252.48.
Tuesday's gains came on the back of data showing durable goods orders for February rose solidly, while the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price index revealed an 8.1 percent rise in prices for 20 leading cities for the 12 months to January, the highest year-on-year increase since mid-2006.
However, they were tempered by the Conference Board index of consumer confidence, which fell on concerns over swingeing federal budget cuts that kicked in on March 1.
On forex markets the dollar climbed to 94.77 yen from 94.55 yen in New York late Tuesday as eyes begin to turn to a Bank of Japan policy meeting next week that is expected to usher in fresh easing measures.
The meeting is the first under new governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who is a proponent of aggressive monetary policy to drag the country out of deflation.
The euro also climbed to 121.70 yen from 121.56 yen in New York but sat at $1.2845 compared with $1.2856.
The single currency still faces headwinds from lingering worries ahead of the opening Thursday of banks in Cyprus, which have been closed for almost two weeks.
On oil markets prices eased, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in May, dropping 27 cents to $96.07 a barrel in the afternoon and Brent North Sea crude for May off 17 cents at $109.19.
Gold was at $1,598.30 an ounce at 0605 GMT compared with $1,596.20 late on Tuesday.
In other markets:
-- Taipei rose 0.48 percent, or 37.76 points, to 7,894.12.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company rose 1.52 percent to Tw$100.5 while Hon Hai was flat at Tw$83.5.
-- Wellington rose 1.52 percent, or 66.03 points, to 4,412.06.
Telecom rose 4.27 percent to NZ$2.32 and Fletcher Building was up 3.25 percent at NZ$8.58.
-- Mumbai was closed for a public holiday.

This invention generally relates to sensors, microphones, sensor systems and methods.
Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with microphones, as an example.
Heretofore, in this field, acoustical signals have been converted into analog electrical signals and fed to an electronic amplifier. The processing of analog signals introduces distortion. Conversion of analog signals to digital form also introduces distortion. Acoustic and mechanical distortion and analog noise in recording also can disadvantageously occur.
Accordingly, improvements which overcome any or all of the problems are presently desirable.
Generally, and in one form of the invention, a microphone for converting an acoustic signal directly into a digital signal representing the audio signal is disclosed. The microphone includes a diaphragm flexibly mounted to a base so as to be displaced when sound waves impinge upon the diaphragm. The microphone also includes a signal source for providing a known signal and means for distorting or deliberately altering the signal in response to the displacement of the diaphragm. Also included is a processor for receiving the distorted or deliberately altered signal and determining the amount of displacement of the diaphragm from the degree of distortion or alteration of the signal.
An advantage of the invention is that by converting the acoustical signal directly into a digital signal the distortion that results from processing an analog signal is avoided as is the distortion that results from converting from an analog to a digital signal.

Corresponding numerals and symbols in the different figures refer to corresponding parts unless otherwise indicated.
In FIG. 1 diaphragm 102 is flexibly mounted onto base 106 by flexible mounting members 104. Light beam 105 from light source 108 is directed to shine upon diaphragm 102. Diaphragm 102 is reflective so light beam 105 is reflected from diaphragm 102 onto mirror surface 111. Surface 111 is also reflective, so light beam 105 bounces back and forth between diaphragm 102 and mirror surface 111 until finally being absorbed by absorber 115.
A portion of light beam 105 also passes through mirror surface 111 and impinges upon sensor 131, which is advantageously a charge coupled device comprising a series of sensing elements, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Sensor 131 outputs a digital pulse pattern which corresponds to the position of light hitting it, as explained below. Mirror surface 111 is advantageously a reflective passivation layer provided on semiconductor chip 128. Charge coupled device sensor 131, digital signal processor (DSP) 141, and memory 143 are fabricated on semiconductor chip 128, and then mirror surface 111 is deposited on the resulting integrated circuit.
When diaphragm 102 is at rest in its initial or unextended position, as shown in FIG. 1 and also in FIG. 3 as position 0, light beam 105 hits and reflects from diaphragm 102 and mirror surface 111 at an angle theta. This results in the portion of light beam 105 which passes through mirror surface 111 impinging upon sensor 131 with uniform spacing, resulting in a uniform pattern of equally spaced pulses from sensor 131. Advantageously, the at rest position of diaphragm 102 results in a pattern of pulses from sensor 131 such as 1000100010001. The digital one pulses result from those sensing elements 132 of sensor 131 wherein light beam 105 strikes, and the zero pulses result from those sensing elements 132 of sensor 131 wherein no light strikes. Other possible positions diaphragm 102 assumes in response to sound waves hitting the diaphragm and causing it to vibrate are illustrated by dotted lines in FIG. 3 and referenced as position 1, 2, -1, -2. Note that regardless of the position of diaphragm 102, flexible mounting members 104 allow it to remain substantially parallel to mirror surface 111. This means that the angle theta of incidence and reflection of light beam 105 remains constant; however, because of the change in distance between diaphragm 102 and mirror surface 111, light beam 105 hits sensor 131 with different spacings, depending on the position of diaphragm 102. This results in different patterns of pulses from sensor 131 corresponding to the different positions of diaphragm 102. For example, the pattern corresponding to diaphragm 102 being at position 0 in FIG. 3 is 1000100010001. At position 1, however, the pattern is 1001001001001, and at position +2, the pattern is 1010101010101. These exemplary patterns illustrate that the closer diaphragm 102 is to mirror surface 111, the closer the points at which light beam 105 impinges upon sensor 131, and thus the closer the ones of the pulse pattern. Similarly, at position -1, the pattern of pulses from sensor 131 is 1000010000100001, and at position -2, the pattern is 1000001000001, corresponding to the increased distance between diaphragm 102 and mirror surface 111.
In FIG. 3, light beam 105 is shown for the situation where diaphragm 102 is at position 0 and +2. Light beam 105 is not shown for the other illustrated positions of diaphragm 102 for the sake of clarity. Note that the illustrated possible positions of diaphragm 102, -2, -1, 0, +1 and +2, are merely illustrative. Diaphragm 102 can occupy an infinite number of possible positions. The resolution or accuracy with which the location of diaphragm 102 can be sensed is limited only by the resolution of sensor 131 and of DSP 141. These elements can be made suitably accurate to readily provide more than sufficient resolution.
In a first circuit arrangement, the pulse pattern output is fed directly as addresses to memory 143 which retrieves displacement information from an addressed memory location. The displacement information is returned and fed from memory 143 to DSP 141 for filtering, storage and output. DSP 141 has instruction memory and RAM, and circuitry for executing digital signal processing algorithms. An exemplary DSP for any of the embodiments is a chip from any of the TMS320 family generations from Texas Instruments Incorporated, as disclosed in co-assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,577,282; 4,912,636 (TI-11961) and 5,072,418 (TI-14080), each of which patents is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Filtering and the other algorithms for the DSP are disclosed in Digital Signal Processing Applications with the TMS320 Family: Theory, Algorithms and Implementations, Texas Instruments, 1986 which is also hereby incorporated herein by reference. See, for instance, Chapter 3 therein. DSP interface techniques are described in this application book also.
In a second circuit arrangement, the pulse pattern output is fed directly to DSP 141 which has onboard memory for DSP instructions and displacement information. DSP 141 converts the pulse patterns to addresses by counting one-bits in the pulse patterns for instance. The addresses resulting from processing are used for look-up purposes or alternatively fed to a displacement calculating algorithm. The displacement information then is digitally filtered.
In a third circuit arrangement, the pulse pattern output by sensor 131 is fed to DSP 141. DSP 141 advantageously includes look-up table 150 which has memory addresses corresponding to the possible pulse patterns output by sensor 131. The memory addresses corresponding to the pulse patterns contain pre-determined values corresponding to the amount and direction of displacement of diaphragm 102 that cause such a pulse pattern. FIG. 4 illustrates a portion of look-up table 150 in DSP 141 and a portion of memory 143. For example, pulse pattern 1000100010001 is associated with memory address A100. As shown in FIG. 4, the memory location at memory address A100 contains a value of 0 displacement, which is the amount of displacement of diaphragm 102 from its initial position to produce the pulse pattern. Similarly pulse pattern 1001001001001 is associated with memory address A101, which contains a value of +1 displacement, corresponding to the 1 position of diaphragm 102 illustrated in FIG. 3. Note also in FIG. 4 that the illustrated portion of look-up table 150 has an entry for pulse pattern 11001100110011. This type of pattern will result from diaphragm 102 being in a position between position 0 and position 1, resulting in light beam 105 hitting sensor 131 in such a way that a portion of the beam hits two sensing elements 132 of sensor 131. Such a pulse pattern is associated with memory address A100 or other appropriate address in look-up table 150. This introduces an element of advantageous additional resolution into the digital signal to compensate for the discrete nature of digital systems. In other words regardless of where diaphragm 102 is, the microphone assigns one of the discrete position values associated with a pulse pattern in the digital representation. Diaphragm 102 travels only a slight distance in either direction, and a large number of discrete positions can be stored in a memory which takes up relatively little space. Therefore, by having a large number of discrete positions stored in memory, the distortion introduced by digitizing the diaphragm's position can be minimized. The angle theta and the number n of elements in sensor 131 are optimized to the application at hand. In general, more elements increases resolution as does reducing angle theta for a more nearly grazing incidence on the reflecting surfaces.
In summary, each position of diaphragm 102, relative to mirror surface 111 causes light beam 105 to hit sensor 131 at differently spaced spatial intervals and positions, thus producing pulse patterns corresponding to the relative position of the diaphragm, The pulse patterns are associated with a value corresponding to the relative position of diaphragm 102 required to cause the pulse pattern. In this way vibration of diaphragm 102 in response to sound waves is converted directly to a digital representation. As diaphragm 102 vibrates, its position relative to mirror surface 111 continuously changes, resulting in continually changing pulse patterns. DSP 141 samples or clocks in the pulse patterns from sensor 131 rapidly enough to gain an accurate digital representation of the original sound signal. Typically, the Nyquist rate, defined as twice the frequency of the highest signal component to be digitized, is sufficient to provide adequate digital signal representation. Advantageously, the sampling rate should be at or above 40 Khz to allow resolution of audio signals up to 20 Khz. Lower or high sampling rates can be used effectively also.
The resulting digital signal can be stored to memory such as a magnetic tape medium, or can be fed to a digital audio system such as a digital audio tape recording unit or to a broadcast system such as an amplifier and speaker unit. Advantageously, the digital signal is digitally filtered (such as by Finite Impulse Response, FIR or Infinite Impulse Response, IIR digital filtering) and modified to filter out unwanted noise elements such as wind noise or background noise. Any distortion introduced into the signal by the transfer characteristics of flexible mounting members 104 can also be compensated for by digital filtering. One way to perform the filtering is to determine the transfer functions of connecting elements 104 and the associated error in the response of diaphragm 102 by experiment or other means. Once the transfer function has been determined, a program for canceling out the error factor introduced by the transfer function can be stored in the program memory of DSP 141 or in memory 143. Special effects such as echo and reverberation can be digitally introduced onto the acoustical signal by a preferred embodiment microphone and suitably programmed DSP, without requiring any additional circuitry, resulting in savings in cost and hardware complexity. Advantageously, all the digital filtering can be performed by DSP 141, thereby reducing the amount of hardware required.
Light source 108 can be a lone source as illustrated in FIG. 1, or a dual light source as illustrated in FIG. 5 which directs two light beams onto diaphragm 102. The dual light beams are reflected back onto mirror surface 111 and dual sensors 131A and 131B. In such an arrangement, the pulse patterns output by sensors 131a and 131b can be compared by DSP 141. Differences in the pulse patterns can be caused by distortion of diaphragm 102 or by standing waves which might develop in the diaphragm. DSP 141 produces an error signal from the differences in the pulse patterns of sensors 131a and 131b which can be digitally filtered from the digital signal to compensate for signal noise caused by distortion or standing waves in diaphragm 102. In an alternative approach, the light sources are oriented to produce distinct pulse patterns on sensors 131a and 131b. The two pulse patterns are both converted to displacements which are averaged or otherwise reconciled by DSP operations to produce the output signal value.
Advantageously, light source 108 of FIGS. 1 and 5 can be a simple light emitting diode (LED) of the type well known in the art, or alternatively, an AlGaAS heterojunction laser fabricated directly on the surface of semiconductor chip 128. Microscopic reflector or refractor elements direct the two light beams to complete the dual light source.
FIG. 6 illustrates a second preferred embodiment microphone which uses variable inductance to introduce a delay value into a string of regularly spaced pulses. Pulse generator 202 can be a digital clock oscillator circuit, for instance. Pulse generator 202 outputs a string of uniform, regularly spaced digital pulses. The output of pulse generator 202 passes through inductor 206 which is slightly spaced from diaphragm 102. As diaphragm 102 vibrates in response to sound waves hitting it, the distance between the diaphragm and inductor 206 varies. In the second preferred embodiment, diaphragm 102 is ferro-magnetic and the inductance of inductor 200 varies with the distance between inductor 200 and diaphragm 102. This change in inductance value cases a change in the amount of delay introduced into signal A.
In an alternative preferred embodiment, inductor 206 is replaced with one plate of a capacitor comprising diaphragm 102 as the other plate. As diaphragm 102 vibrates in response to sound waves hitting it, the distance between the two plates varies, thus varying the capacitance. The effect of the varying capacitance on a known signal can be analyzed similarly to the effect of varying inductance on a signal, as discussed below.
FIG. 6A illustrates a timing diagram of signal A output by pulse generator 202 of FIG. 6. FIG. 6B illustrates a timing diagram of signal B which is the same signal as signal A after it has passed through inductor 206 when diaphragm 102 is at its initial rest position 0. Because diaphragm 102 is at rest, the amount of delay between the pulses of FIG. 6B is constant and is the same as in FIG. 6A. However, the pulses of FIG. 6B are all shifted in time because they are delayed. FIG. 6C illustrates signal B in the case where diaphragm 102 is vibrating in response to sound waves hitting the diaphragm. As diaphragm 102 vibrates, the inductance of the inductor 206 varies due to the diaphragm, thus varying the amount of delay introduced into the pulse string of signal A. Signal B is fed into DSP 141 where a counter, configured to start on the falling edge of a pulse and to stop on the rising edge of the next pulse, determines the amount of delay introduced by inductor 206. Repeated counting operations produce a succession of delay counter values that are proportioned to velocity. In FIG. 6D, the counter values are integrated by the DSP to yield the displacement, with the constraint that their average is zero over an interval such as 100 milliseconds. The counter value corresponding to displacement zero is subtracted by the DSP before integrating to avoid introducing a DC offset. In a still further alternative embodiment, each successive counter value is subtracted from its predecessor to yield an acceleration measurement. The acceleration is suitably output directly, and integrated once for velocity measurement and integrated twice to obtain displacement values. In this way a digital signal is generated corresponding directly to the relative position of diaphragm 102 in relation to inductor 206.
FIG. 7 illustrates a third preferred embodiment. As in the second preferred embodiment, pulse generator 202 generates a pulse string of uniformly spaced pulses which are output to inductor 206, which introduces a delay into the pulse string proportional to the relative distance between inductor 206 and diaphragm 102. Additionally, the third preferred embodiment includes summing circuit 208 which has two inputs. The non-inverting input of summing circuit 208 is fed by the pulse string that has passed through inductor 206. The inverting input (-) of summing circuit 208 is fed directly from the output of pulse generator 202. The output from summing circuit 208 feeds DSP 141 wherein a digital signal corresponding to the motion of diaphragm 102 is realized as explained in detail below.
FIG. 7A illustrates a timing diagram of signal A, the pulse string output by pulse generator 202. Pulses 211, 213, and 215 are shown as representative pulses. FIG. 7B illustrates a timing diagram of the output from summing circuit 208 at position B in FIG. 7. Signal B includes undelayed pulses 211, 213, and 215, which have been inverted by the inverting input of summer 208, and also includes delayed pulses 211D, 213D, and 215D, which have been delayed by passing through inductor 206 before feeding the noninverting input of summing circuit 208. This signal is then input to DSP 141.
FIG. 8 illustrates the analysis of signal B performed in DSP 141. The signal is fed to positive pulse detector 310 and negative pulse detector 312. When negative pulse detector 312 detects a negative pulse it signals the RESET input of delay measuring counter 314. Counter 314 counts high frequency clock pulses until its STOP input is signaled by positive pulse detector 310 detecting a positive pulse in signal B. For example, when inverted pulse 211 is detected, negative pulse detector 312 signals delay measuring counter 314 to reset to zero and start counting. Counter 314 continues counting until non-inverted delayed pulse 211D triggers positive pulse detector 310 to signal delay measuring counter 314 to stop. The resulting value output by delay measuring counter 314 corresponds to the amount of delay introduced into signal A by inductor 206, which is inversely proportional to the distance between inductor 206 and diaphragm 102. The following inverted pulse 213 will cause counter 314 to again reset to zero and start counting until non-inverted delayed pulse 213D triggers counter 314 to stop at which point the next value is output. The output signal of counter 314 provides a digital representation of the motion of diaphragm 102 caused by the original acoustical signal making diaphragm 102 vibrate. Determined by the amount of delay imposed upon pulse string A, the signal output from counter 314 is related to the diaphragms displacement and independent of the original pulse form of signal A itself. The diagram of FIG. 8 is equally representative of software or hardware implementations of this embodiment.
Note that even at its initial motionless position, diaphragm 102 affects or contributes to the inductance of inductor 206, thus causing steady state level of delay to signal A. Advantageously this steady state level can be subtracted from the output signal of counter 314. In this way the resulting signal equals the delta (or change) from the average or steady state delay. This signal can then be digitally filtered to remove unwanted noise or distortion signals, as discussed above in reference to the first preferred embodiment.
In summary, diaphragm 102 vibrates in response to incoming sound waves of an original acoustical signal to be recorded or broadcast. The influence diaphragm 102 has on a uniform string of energy pulses is analyzed and digitally recorded. In this way the original audio signal is converted directly into a digital representation without the distortion caused by recording the signal with analog techniques and the further distortion caused by converting the analog signal to a digital signal.
Any of the above described preferred embodiment microphones can provide improved sound recording and reproduction. For instance, FIG. 9 illustrates an audio system 400, which includes microphone 402, storage medium 404, radio component 406, digital tape unit 408, additional component 410, digital to analog converter (D/A) 412, amplifier 414, and loudspeakers 416 and 418. Microphone 402 is of the improved type described in any of FIGS. 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 and converts an audio signal directly into a digital signal. The digital signal can be in either parallel or serial digital form as convenience dictates. The digital signal can be fed directly to D/A 412 and thence to amplifier 414 and thence to loudspeakers 416 and 418 or can be fed to tape input 408 for permanent storage on storage medium 404. Unit 408 is preferably a digital audio tape (DAT) recorder of a type well known in the art. Output from radio component 406 and component 410, which is preferably a compact disc (CD) player can also be fed directly to either D/A 412 or to additional component DAT recorder 408. With the exception of radio broadcasts received by radio component 406, which are preferably subsequently converted to digital signals, all other signals of the preferred embodiment audio system are digital with the concomitant advantages in signal clarity and hardware simplicity over prior art analog audio systems. A further advantage is that no additional A/D circuitry or filtering circuitry is required to prepare the audio signal received by microphone 402 for compatibility with the other digital components because the circuitry is included with microphone 402 itself.
Additionally or alternatively, audio system 400 may include digital mixer 420. Digital signals from microphone 402, as well as from additional components 408-410, and radio component 406, if in digital form, can be fed directly to the inputs of digital mixer 420. These various signals can then be mixed, while still in digital form prior to being output by digital mixer 420 to D/A 412 or to additional component 408 for permanent storage. In this way, the distortion associated with converting digital signals to analog prior to mixing, and then converting the mixed signals back to digital for storage is avoided, resulting in improved signal quality.
Although the present invention is described by reference to several preferred embodiments, the embodiments are not meant to limit the scope of the invention. Processors can be implemented in microcomputers or microprocessors, in programmed computing circuits, or entirely in hardware or otherwise using technology now known or hereafter developed. For instance, measurement apparatus for measuring distance, velocity and acceleration can be improved by using the above disclosed techniques, by analyzing the influence of a moving object to be measured on a known signal. Automotive air bag actuator systems could also be realized which sense excessive acceleration or deceleration and triggers air bag deployment using the above described techniques. Other applications include detectors on light aircraft wings to measure distortion of the wing and thus air pressure-connected to a processor which determines how much of the wing is "flying" or providing lift, thus to sense incipient stall in flight. Additionally an automotive manifold pressure sensor using the above teachings advantageously determines the vacuum or pressure in the intake system of automobile engine, using a metal diaphragm, thus eliminating the need for analog to digital conversion as the art currently requires. Another application is a digital scale which provides a direct digital output in response to the movement of a pressure plate in response to an object to be measured being placed upon it. It is therefore intended that the appended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.

Wine Travels – Argentina
What would compel you to fly halfway around the world? A good music festival? Good adventure? Good wine? Good deals?
Well, you can find three of the four in Mendoza, Argentina, the wine-producing region of the country. If you travel in the first part of March, the city traditionally hosts The Grape Harvest Festival and that includes a beauty contest and 20,000 people attending the main act to close the festival. Mendoza is nestled in the shadows of the Andes mountains where you can find whitewater rafting and because their seasons are opposite of the northern hemisphere, the average temperature in March is a high of 78 and a low of 58, so not bad for rafting. However, if you're looking for something cheap and quick, this is not it. To fly from Chicago to Mendoza, at minimum, you're looking at a cost of $1,600 per person and 16 hours of transit. Looking at other times during our winter, you could spend over $2,000 a person and thirty hours (including layovers) for a flight. Then, because you'd be visiting during peak times, you'd spend about 8,000 pesos for a room at the Park Hyatt Mendoza. (But, that only ends up being $2,000 for a stay of a little over a week, or about $250 a day, and that's not bad at all.)
If it seems like a bit much, just think of the wine. (If it still feels a bit too rich for your blood, here are some more hotels that will cost you less so that it offsets the price of the plane tickets in your mind.) The Mendoza region produces about the same amount of wine as half the entire U.S. production. The region is known for its Malbec wines and has started to plant more Cabernet Sauvignon, but still grows the Cereza and Criolla Grande grapes for early consumption wines. (Think box and jug wines.)
The Vines Wine Bar & Vinoteca is located within the Park Hyatt and offers 100 different wines to try, from the comfort of your hotel. Only two miles away is the Vines of Mendoza Tasting Room, operated by the same group and that also offers 100 different wines, all of which are available by the glass. With all the different wines, they can probably also point you in the direction of vineyards to go and tour on your own (or check here for a couple of examples.)
However, if you feel adventurous but don't want to think too much, you could head out and go to the Ampora Wine Tours office, only half a block from the Park Hyatt hotel. Here, you can let a tour company do all the planning for you. For $150, you can take the Wine Tour of Lujan de Cuyo and see four wineries, complete with tastings, as well as enjoy a five-course gourmet lunch. The same price can also get you the Maipu Wine Experience, where you can see more about the history of the land and, weather permitting, enjoy an Argentine Asado lunch outdoors. (In other words – barbecue!) $165 gets you the Uco Valley Wine Experience that includes transportation, a few wineries including tastings and a gourmet lunch.
So, with the weekend spent enjoying The Grape Harvest Festival, one day enjoying tastings in town and the next three going off to enjoy pre-planned tours around the countryside, you may have had enough of wine. With only a couple of days left of your vacation, it might be time to end the vacation with a bang and do some rafting. If you don't like the water, maybe go in the opposite direction and try paragliding. Or, choose to go in between and do a bit of mountain biking. Argentina Rafting Expediciones offers each of these activities as well as horseback riding and mountain climbing to get a little bit of adventure before you head for home. Then, after a good long week plus of a trip, you'll have quite a few good memories to dwell on as you sit through another 16 hours to fly back home.
Simple Trick Tells You if a Girl Wants You to Kiss Her
Do girls leave you confused as to whether or not they like you?
Let's face it. Girl's don't make it easy for you. She will often send mixed signals leaving you unable to tell if she is being friendly or flirty. If you read her signals wrong you risk rejection and embarrassment. Or worse, you blow it with a girl who wanted to kiss you.
Here is a simple and innocent move that will instantly tell you if you're in the friend zone, or if she's waiting for you to kiss her.

Language practice is a field of study that was initially developed by the Department of Near Eastern Studies, and which has subsequently come into its own as a fully-fledged discipline in the Department of Afro-Asiatic Studies, Sign Language and Language Practice since 2002. The language practice component has been incorporated by the new Department and is continually being developed.
A student in our department will receive a training opportunity which does not exist elsewhere in this format. Our courses afford students the opportunity to hone their language skills and acquire the necessary ability to work with technological language systems. It involves education and training in:
One of the strengths of the Department is its close association with the Unit for Language Facilitation and Empowerment, a self-sustaining entity created in 1993. This link creates a variety of opportunities for students in the Department to get a hands-on exposure to the field of language practice. The many exciting projects of the Unit provide members of the Department the opportunity to participate in research projects and scholarly engagement.
The lecturers themselves are responsible for a component of original research in their areas of expertise. In addition, the DLLP also host researchers from all over the continent and globe in the areas of language practice, linguistics (including applied linguistics and sociolinguistics), language management and other related fields.
Please refer to the Kovsies yearbook for more information on our courses.

WHAT IT MEANS: The weakest offensive threat of the Knicks' Big Three is Tyson Chandler. But that's exactly who led them in a blowout win over Charlotte and helped them snap a six-game losing streak.
In fact, Chandler dominated on both ends of the floor against the Bobcats, finishing with 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting and 17 rebounds. The Knicks improved to 7-10.
THE GOOD: After missing 20 of his 30 attempts against Denver on Saturday, Carmelo Anthony wondered aloud whether he was shooting too much.
Apparently, he decided that he was. Anthony did not convert a field goal Tuesday against Charlotte. He finished with one point and missed all seven shots, passing up several shots he normally takes. But he found other ways to contribute -- Anthony had 11 rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Tuesday was the first time in Anthony's career that he's played more than 2 minutes and made no field goals. Anthony has had just one other game without a field goal, when he sprained his ankle 1:09 into a game against the Nets in 2005.
AMARE EMERGES: There's been plenty of speculation about reasons behind Amare Stoudemire's struggles. Is it because of Anthony? Is it because the Knicks don't have a point guard? Is it because he's playing power forward instead of center? On Tuesday, none of those issues held him back.
Stoudemire scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds. His shot selection improved greatly and he finished with several strong dunks.
Also, Landry Fields had a strong game. Fields put up solid numbers for the third straight night, scoring 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting. He went 5-for-6 from the line and added four rebounds and four assists in one of his strongest performances of the season.
The Knicks held Boris Diaw to four points after he torched them in two nights at the Garden earlier this season. Diaw missed five of six attempts. Overall, New York held Charlotte to 33 percent shooting.
THE BAD: Iman Shumpert scored three points on 1-for-9 shooting in 25 minutes.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Knicks take on Cleveland on Wednesday in their fifth back-to-back of the season. They are 1-3 in the second game of back-to-backs of the season. The Cavs, led in part by rookie and New Jersey native Kyrie Irving, entered play on Tuesday at 6-9 and had lost three straight.
They have Thursday off following the Cleveland game then travel to Miami to face LeBron James and the Heat.
