Hello there! Good Sunday, happy afternoon and all relevant greetings to you and yours on this fascinating footballing weekend.
Yesterday was all about the battle at the bottom, with Wigan and Villa getting vital wins and putting the pressure on those above, but today we focus on the top, with the added bonus of one of England's most historic rivalries.
Yep, Man United v Chelsea will undoubtedly provide us with many a narrative but for the pure essence of football, Liverpool v Everton is about as good as it gets - a city derby blessed with tremendous players and as passionate a crowd as you'll find.
David Moyes has NEVER won a derby at Anfield, and this could be his last.
Is the story written? Our man David Anderson is at Anfield to provide you with the updates, while I'll be providing you with the best pictures, analysis and reaction from around the interweb.
Stay tuned.
After smashing Newcastle 6-0 at St James' Park last weekend, Liverpool were surprisingly unchanged for the 220th Merseyside derby.
That meant skipper Steven Gerrard, who scored a hat-trick in this fixture last season, made his 36th consecutive Premier League start - his best run since April 2007.
Everton brought back Darron Gibson after he missed the win over Fulham through injury and the burning question for Evertonians was could David Moyes finally win at Anfield?
Moyes was three years away from arriving at Goodison when the Blues last won here in September 1999 through Kevin Campbell's early strike.
The Scot's derby record is poor and going into today's game he had managed just three league wins from 26 games.
What a time to end that run in what could be his last derby with his current deal due to expire in the summer.
Liverpool: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique; Downing, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson; Coutinho; Sturridge. Subs: Jones, Assaidi, Coates, Borini, Suso, Shelvey, Skrtel.
Everton: Howard; Coleman, Distin, Jagielka, Baines; Pienaar, Osman, Fellaini, Gibson, Mirallas; Anichebe. Subs: Mucha, Hibbert, Heitinga, Jelavic, Oviedo, Naismith, Duffy.
Referee: Mike Oliver
Our friends from Opta have furnished us with some stats for this one, and because I'm feeling benevolent I shall, in turn, pass them onto you - the loving reader.
The first three nibbles for you:
• Liverpool v Everton has seen more red cards than any other fixture in Barclays Premier League history (20).
• Everton have only won one of their last 12 Premier League Merseyside derbies (D4 L7).
• At Anfield, the Toffees are without a win in 12 Premier League games, losing six including five of the last eight.
It's a cracking sunny day at Anfield and Kop paid tribute to the Everton supporters by displaying a mosaic before kick-off which said simply 'Thanks'.
The idea came from the Mirror's Brian Reade who felt Liverpool fans should acknowledge the fantastic support from Evertonians during their fight for justice over Hillsborough.
The crowd then produced one of the most-rousing renditions of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' heard at Anfield for some time.
Of course, this is Jamie Carragher's last Merseyside derby before he moves upstairs to join the spirit in the Sky and Andy Dunn was in particularly brilliant form as he spoke about the Kop legend in his Sunday Mirror column today.
With potentially Carragher and Moyes both playing a final derby, there is the potential for emotions to run high at the end of the afternoon, and Carra was honoured with a card display before kick-off.
Pictures of that coming soon.
It's been an even enough opening few minutes at Anfield, with much of the play confined to midfield areas.
The Reds will inevitably look to dominate possession and Everton will be happy to play on the break - but Kevin Mirallas and Steven Pienaar must get close to Victor Anichebe if they're to have a chance.
Liverpool had the first shot of the game when Daniel Sturridge - who is bang in form right now - pulled a left-footed shot wide on the turn, but the atmosphere is feisty and the weather is beautiful.
What more could you want?
David Moyes doing his best Travis impression: 'why does it always rain on me?'
Here's our man at Anfield, David Anderson, with his take on the opening exchanges.
The match is being played at the usual million-miles-per of a derby with no tackles being shirked.
Gerrard went down under a heavy challenge with Leon Osman, but immediately got to his feet in a sign of how much this game means to him.
Liverpool had the better of the opening exchanges and Daniel Sturridge had a shot comfortably saved by Tim Howard before he played a dangerous ball across the visitors' area, which was cut out by Sylvain Distin.
Steven Pienaar replied with Everton with a speculative, long-range effort, which whistled past Reina's right-hand post.
Here's a picture of the stunning mosaic unveiled by the Kop before kick-off to thank Everton and their fans for their continued support post-Hilsborough.
Bill Kenwright spoke very movingly at the recent memorial service, and the tragedy really has united the city's two footballing tribes.
Justice for the 96.
Everton will be happy enough with this start, spending a decent amount of time with the ball and pushing higher up the pitch.
With the Blues currently on top, you have to wonder if Brendan Rodgers would be willing to let them push on and try to play a more counter-attacking game?
With Coutinho and Sturridge playing there is no lack of pace to get behind Jagielka and Distin, and Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson have already shown some class with raking, diagonal passes today.
This one is shaping up nicely.
The Blues are still on top here, and they're beginning to create chances.
Marouane Fellaini went closest with a prod that rolled narrowly past the post as he wrestled with Jamie Carragher.
Darron Gibson found Kevin Mirallas with a neat pass, but the Belgian fired straight at Reina and the flag had gone up anyway but David Moyes will be delighted with the way they've started against an in-form Liverpool.
Still 0-0, but an entertaining game.
Who's winning the tactical battle? Here's David Anderson.
The Gerrard-Sturridge axis was Liverpool's main attacking weapon and the Reds skipper was finding his team-mate with raking cross-field balls.
Everton settled and should have taken the lead through the normally-reliable Marouane Fellaini.
Leighton Baines floated over a free-kick from the left and he dragged his volley across goal when it would have been easier to score.
Bill Kenwright, who was kicking and heading every ball for Everton, turned and mouthed 'how did he miss that?'.
Considering Liverpool v Everton has seen more red cards than any other fixture in Barclays Premier League history, Michael Oliver has had a good start to the game today.
Perhaps he has been a tad lenient, but Oliver has let the game flow and is undoubtedly trying to keep 22 men on the pitch today.
That said, we've not seen many proper 'derby' challenges though. Yet.
Here's David Anderson's take on the first half hour from the Anfield press box.
After Liverpool were the better side for the first 10 or 12 minutes, Everton settled into their stride.
Seamus Coleman was a good outlet down the right as he raided forward from his full-back position, while Fellaini was proving a right handful for Jamie Carragher in his last derby every time the Blues went direct to the big Belgian.
There was a confidence about Everton's play, which suggested they were not intimidated by the opposition, which has sometimes been the case in the past.
CLOSE! Liverpoool should score, but Phil Jagielka's jutting heel prevents Steven Gerrard's low, searing drive from finding the net.
The move had begun down the right where Stewart Downing had dinked a looping cross to the far post, and although Coleman won the header, Jordan Henderson laid it back to the Liverpool skipper who hit it clean as you like.
The hosts enjoying a good spell here.
David Anderson's been impressed by Steven Gerrard so far.
Gerrard is clearly Liverpool's best player, in defence and attack, and you can tell he was really up for this one.
He was denied a goal when his shot came off the outstretched heel of Phil Jagielka before he whipped a free-kick just wide of the top corner.
Philippe Coutinho was struggling to make an impression on the game after being brilliant at Newcastle and he was caught down by Gibson to initiate him into his first derby.
My goodness me! Phil Jagielka saves Everton again when Liverpool looked absolutely certain to score.
Jordan Henderson's glorious little flick set Sturridge in on goal, but just as he was about to crank one at goal the sprawling Seamus Coleman got a toe to it.
The ball fell to the onrushing Coutinho though, and the Brazilian was destined to find the net and bag his first derby goal until Jagielka's desperate, lunging intervention.
Should have been 1-0.
An engrossing first half is drawing to an end, and in truth the only thing that it has been lacking is goals.
Everton have perhaps shaded it, with their midfield getting on top of Liverpool's central trio, but the fact that Daniel Sturridge has been more involved than Victor Anichebe is quite illustrative as to how this game has panned out.
Remember, Everton have never lost a game where the Nigerian has scored, so if he bucks his ideas up then the Toffees have nothing to fear.
And here's David Anderson's take on the first half
When you take away the froth of the crunching tackles and million-miles-an-hour tempo, there wasn't that much football being played.
Both sides were careless in possession and were giving the ball away all too cheaply.
Jagielka was giving a masterclass in defending and after his block denied Gerrard a certain goal, he rescued Everton again with a goal-saving challenge on Coutinho as the Brazilian tried to shoot from eight yards.
That was an example of defending at its very best.
The crowd were also quieter after whipping themselves into a frenzy for most of the first half.
Well, no goals (yet) in an otherwise very interesting game.
Given that Liverpool had scored nine goals in the two Premier League games Luis Suarez had missed before today, this is somewhat of a surprise.
The Uruguayan must be looking on with a twitch in his right foot (and possibly in his mandible) as he sits out his ban, and up in the box with him are other Kop heroes Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler.
Everton marginally on top in the half, but Liverpool with the better chances.

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan Friday said that he and superstar Rajinikanth used to compete aggressively earlier but not any more.
"Rajini and I used to release our films almost every Friday in the 1980s but not anymore. Today, we have slowed down, not because of our age, but because of budget constraints. We can't afford to have the release of our big budget films on the same day," Kamal told reporters here.
He was speaking at the trailer launch of the digitally restored version of his 1977 Tamil film "16 Vayathinile", which also featured Rajinikanth in a negative role.
Directed by Bharathiraja, the commercially successful "16 Vayathinile", which was made on a meagre budget of Rs.4.5 lakh, saw Sridevi playing an important role.
Speaking at the event, Bharathiraja said: "Kamal was paid Rs.27,000 for the film. Rajini wanted Rs.5,000, but I convinced him for Rs.3,000 and eventually paid only Rs.2,500. Budget was a big constraint for all of us back then."
Industry members such as filmmaker Bhagyaraj and actor-filmmaker Parthepan were also present at the event.
The film was remade in Telugu as "Padaharella Vayasu" with Chandra Mohan, Mohan Babu and Sridevi in the lead.

If you've ever wondered what David Fincher's 1999 film Fight Club would look like without the sex, violence, and swearing; animated; and set in the 4th grade, today is your lucky day.
The world's greatest filmmakers tell their stories from the very first frame in their movies to the very last. Need proof? Just watch the amazing supercut below, and you'll notice just how many brilliant films have beginnings and endings that work in stunning tandem.
So whats the main thrust of the argument? Obviously, stop reading this is you havent yet seen or read Fight Club, and still want to go into the story unspoiled.
Today is the day when, all around the world, fireworks are ignited as people celebrate the departure of 2014 and the arrival of 2015. So it seems only appropriate that we would end our year in cinema with a bang as well:
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Fight Clubs release the boys over at Honest Trailers have given them the only present that they could possibly have mustered. Theyve critiqued its every frame in intimate detail for the rest of the world to laugh and joke over. David Fincher will be so grateful.
Ed Norton is annoyed at the members of the Hollywood elite who look down on modern movies. In fact hes downright pissed off. The Birdman actor thinks that 2014 is shaping up to be a pretty stellar cinematic year, and he wants people to stop saying, they dont make them like they used to.
The ending of Fight Club was a conclusive affair that left little to no room for a sequel. Yet, through the magic of self-reflective imagination, Chuck Palahniuk is bringing back his iconic novel for a second go around the track with a limited comic series.
Back in the 1980s, Hollywood action movies preferred their male leads to have gigantic arms. They wanted Hulk Hogan lookalikes with Popeye biceps who could conceivably one punch any human being into a coma. More recently, however, the standard of badass bodies has changed quite a bit.
Spoiler alert if you still haven't seen Fight Club! There are certain movies that offer a twist so drastic, when it's revealed, we find ourselves wanting to re-watch the entire movie to see just how much of the truth of the situation was staring us in the face the entire time.
I know, were not supposed to talk about Fight Club, but I think its ok to talk about Fight Club, as in the book, the movie and the anticipated sequel that author Chuck Palahniuk is penning. We learned this summer that author Chuck Palahniuk was writing a sequel to the 1996 novel Fight Club a book that was later adapted into the film by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
With Pitt on the brain, we're setting out to change that perception of him as a handsome guy who can't act his way out of a paper bag. As it turns out, he's got an entire career's worth of excellent performances to prove his talent, starting even in his earliest days as more of a pin-up boy than the Hollywood powerhouse he is today. Here are five examples of Pitt performances that don't just prove he's got talent
I don't just feel the need to stand up for the movies of the last decade because I believe they're as well-written and memorable as anything that's come before, but because I can come up with five more recent
Judging by the Friday box office numbers (the film pulled in $8 million in its opening night), many of you have seen David Fincher's The Social Network this weekend. And why wouldn't you? The film has earned

The omissions of MLS playoff-bound Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle weren't surprising. But several additions suggest that Bradley is acutely aware of what ails his team and where it needs considerable alterations as it gets ready for the next summer's Gold Cup and the ensuing World Cup qualifiers.
Two things the U.S. men's team has been in dire need of are a quality left back and a creative force in the middle, which has been missing since Claudio Reyna retired.
In Eric Lichaj, a new contender for the left enters the fray. This call-up by Bradley (a coach who is often criticized for being too loyal to his regulars) makes sense. While not a starter at Aston Villa, Lichaj, 21, has played in a Europa League game and a League Cup game this year, regularly sits on the bench and looks to have every chance of growing into a bigger role over the next four years.
As for that creativity, Stuart Holden, who is already a regular call-up, was brought back. He, too, could assume a more central role. Holden has started every game for the EPL's Bolton in the middle and could offer that badly missing spark. So could 20-year-old Brek Shea (he's available only for the Colombia game). A first-time call-up from FC Dallas and a U-20 graduate, Shea is a hulking attack-minded midfielder who can play in other spots as well. He's become an impact player in MLS as a playmaker for title-contenders Dallas and could be a long-term solution for the U.S. team.
Also returning is Michael Parkhurst, a 26-year-old central defender who plays in Denmark and has had a little exposure to the national team in the past. Bradley will most likely be giving him an early look as a potential successor to the defense, where Carlos Bocanegra, Jay DeMerit and Steve Cherundolo are all expected to have gone off by the 2014 World Cup.
Schalke 04 midfielder Jermaine Jones, meanwhile, could make his much-anticipated and hyped debut at long long last.
Clearly, while Bradley isn't making massive changes, he's at least showing a willingness to bring in new faces and make some moves. That's a good thing.

Hello all,
To tell the truth I dont even own a bicycle at the moment. Just quit my job and left my house, and about to travel India, Nepal and the Himalayas or 5 months. Ive got a real urge to buy a bike while Im over there and really get off the beaten track. The true logistics of this are still to be discovered, and so i thought id join this great forum. If things go well, id love to build up to a series of long distance rides through Russia and Mongolia. Plus of course my home country of Australia. Looking forward to doing some serious learning.

X360A Review: Dead Space 3
Written Tuesday, February 05, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
It's hard to believe that Dead Space is already into its third iteration, but here it is. Amid fears that Dead Space 3 is veering more towards action territory, Visceral Games' latest chapter in Isaac Clarke's ongoing saga aims to stay true to the spirit of the series, while adding more than a few new features to the mix.
Does it all hang together neatly though? Does weapon crafting bring anything to the table? Is teaming up with Sgt. John Carver for co-op a good idea? More importantly, does Dead Space 3 deliver on the fright front or is it severely lacking in scares? And as long as you're dismembering Necromorphs, does it even matter?

We'll see about the safety issues surrounding Rigel's R788. Given that it's a novel drug and works via a different mechanism than PFE or INCY's compounds, I think there's more of a safety margin. Also, the hypertension concerns appear to be overblown. See:
As I am long RIGL, I'm curious to hear any opinions regarding the safety of R788.
>>and with rigel's prospects looking dimmer, i'm surprised the mkt doesn't see value and potential advantage in incyte's cmpd<<
Why do you think it doesn't?
Clearly Incyte's stock price is being hit more because of the cash/debt/capital markets situation than because people are concerned about their pipeline. They have ~$422M in debt! Incyte certainly has some burn runway, but if they don't raise significant cash during the next year (perhaps through outlicensing), the situation could begin to look more dire ...
Speaking of outlicensing, the Pfizer CCR2 outlicensing has been a huge disappointment. $40M upfront but what happened to the rest of the $800M (potentially) and the huge number of indications??? As I recall, Incyte was in multiple Phase II's at the time of the outlicensing, and none of those programs has gone forward, as far as I can tell. Pfizer is just beginning a new Phase II in ... osteoarthritic pain??? Wish management would clarify what happened there. The silence is deafening!
There is yet another oral RA drug candidate in trials. However, the target is novel and not Rigl's, nor Incy's, nor Pfe's. LX2391 will enter drug to drug interaction studies in RA patients first quarter of 09 after successfully completing all phase one studies.
The compound regulates lymphocyte trafficking:
>>LX2391 will enter drug to drug interaction studies in RA patients first quarter of 09 after successfully completing all phase one studies.<<
Phase 1??
Wake me up when they get some ACR70's or 90's.
Also INCY has their financing in place for at least a year, management was smart to raise 100 million a few months back. They sold 12m shares @ 9.00, and you can buy today under 4.00, come on, thats bargain basement prices. Also thinking about buying a position in Amylin, but will wait because its in free fall mode.
I agree, I see value, I bought some INCY this morning, looks like they are throwing in the towel on Rigel. Nobody wants these small and mid cap biotechs, I just bought some Biomarin at 14.90. I repeat, 14.90. That is a steal if I ever saw one. That goes back to when they announced phenoptin(Kuvan) phase 3 data in March 2006.
If Pfizer's cmpd is a pan Jak inhibitor, it is important, because 18424 is NOT. They have stated many times that it is highly selective for Jak1/2 and not 3. It is believed by many that the side effects, seen by PFE and RIGL, come from inhibiting Jak3.
and with rigel's prospects looking dimmer, i'm surprised the mkt doesn't see value and potential advantage in incyte's cmpd
Pfizer encountered some serious infections (hypothesized as due to JAK-3 inhibition) and changes in liver enzymes (a mystery), neither of which Incyte saw. The liver enzymes problem is often enough to end a me-too drug development program; for the first oral agent comparably effective to TNF binders, they'll probably try to manage it. If Incyte could promise that the difference was real, they'd have a huge edge.
Incyte's hypothesis concerning neutropenia is that anything interfering with IL-6 activity (like a JAK inhibitor) allows a higher level of margination (which I had to look up). In effect, it isn't real neutropenia, it's a change in sampling behavior. The neutrophils are still there to do their jobs, but fewer of them are circulating freely.
By dose-response, I mostly mean that 15 mg BID seemed to get more response than 25 mg BID. Not a big shock in a tiny trial like this one, but it reminds viewers how big the error bars should be.
>>Skeptics are holding in reserve the objections that the lack of a dose-response curve leaves open the possibility that the results were random<<
If you look carefully at the slides, there is no way that the results are "random". The 15 mg BID, 25 mg BID and 50 mg QD doses (similar to 25 mg BID!) show very different results from placebo. The 5 mg BID (only 1/3 the dose of 15 mg BID) looks a lot like placebo, but so what?
>>the relative freedom from side effects may also be random so they should allow for side effects as bad as Pfizer has seen <<
I don't think there is sufficient info to compare AEs for the two drugs. Was any neutropenia seen with the Pfizer drug?
The reason for the stock price drop is apparently that the results showed nothing really new from what Incyte has disclosed previously. It is clear that Pfizer is ahead and Incyte's drug has no obvious differentiating characteristics at this point. But the big problem is that small, leveraged, cash flow negative biotechs are no longer in the driver's seat with respect to Big Pharma. Big Pharma has drugs expiring, but they also have cash - a lot of cash - and right now cash is king. Incyte will not get the sort of outlicensing deals they might have gotten a few months ago. At least not for another year or two.

In this edition of the Bloody Sunday Sessions (see below), the Honey Island Swamp Band does "Never Saw It Coming" from their 2013 album Cane Sugar. It was filmed in New Orleans on April 23, 2013 in New Orleans.
Patrick Jarenwattananon describes the making of this NPR Music Field Recording of Jon Batiste and Stay Human:
Since 1978 I've cycled in and out of hosting radio shows focusing on Americana music. The years have left me jaded about the self-aggrandizing promotion of commercial musicians. They come and they go and they're as boring as any commercially packaged product.
On this day (November 21) in 1940, one Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack was born in New Orleans. Happy birthday, Dr. John!
This is the official live video for "Ice Age" from Dr. John's 2012 album Locked Down. It was filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, with a band that features The Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach, who produced the album.
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown demonstrates his unique and influential approach to the electric guitar on Albert Collins' signature tune, "Frosty." This performance was recorded at the Maple Leaf in New Orleans on February 4, 1984.
The New Orleans Fringe Festival, held each November, launches again tonight with a wide and varied selection of theater and performances. Fringe is a worldwide movement that was started in Scotland in 1947 when eight performing groups were excluded from the mainstream annual arts festival in Edinburgh.
Kid Thomas Valentine's band performs "Tiger Rag" at Preservation Hall on May 17, 1982, shot by Alan Lomax, the great collector of 20th century American folk music, and his crew. Kid Thomas' career as a New Orleans band leader lasted some six decades, from the 1920s to the 1980s. He passed away in 1987.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application entitled "A Latching Thermo-pneumatic Microvalve For Ultra-Low Power Applications," filed May 8, 2003, and having Ser. No. 60/468,868.
This invention was made with government support under Contract No.: EEC-9986866 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The government has certain rights in the invention.
The disclosure relates generally to microfluidic devices and systems and, more specifically, to microvalves having ultra-low power consumption.
Valves and their miniature counterparts, microvalves, control the flow of fluids (e.g., gas or liquids) in fluidic systems. Microvalves have generally improved fluid flow control in applications where the significant power demands of a macro-scale valve would be unsuitable. Microvalves also generally avoid large dead volumes—the undesirable empty space in a valving or other fluidic device that must be pressurized when flow starts and depressurized when flow stops. Microvalves having a small dead volume present faster response times than macro-scale valves. Notwithstanding these improvements from the macro-scale regime, past microvalve designs have left room for improvement in both power consumption and response time, as well as in connection with other valve performance parameters and fabrication considerations.
A number of different microvalve designs and actuation schemes have been introduced. Electromagnetic microactuators have been demonstrated, although magnetic forces scale unfavorably for devices with small volume. Piezoelectric actuators have shown substantial actuation force and fast response times, but have also required large operating voltages and a complex, stacked hybrid construction in order to achieve substantial actuation displacement.
Many commercially available microvalves have relied upon some type of thermal actuation. Unfortunately, shape memory alloy (SMA) and bimetallic thermal actuators (i.e., bimorph structures) have tended to require significant power for actuation, typically hundreds to thousands of milliwatts.
Thermopneumatic microvalves have also been reported, but the typical overall power consumption of such valves has also been undesirably high.
In contrast, microvalves utilizing electrostatic actuation schemes have shown near-zero power consumption. However, such microvalves have been susceptible to particulate contamination and weak actuation force over large distances. Electrostatically actuated microvalves have been unsuitable for applications requiring long valve throw (i.e., large valve travel distances) and accordingly been designed with low-flow rate applications in mind. See, for example, Robertson et al., "A Nested Electrostatically-Actuated Microvalve for an Integrated Microflow Controller," MEMS 1994 Proceedings, IEEE Workshop, pp. 7–12 (1994).
Past microvalves have minimized power consumption through bistable designs, where power is required only during switching. A bistable microvalve taught by Wagner et al. relies upon electrostatic actuation to drive a pair of buckled membranes acted upon pneumatically via a pair of linked cavities. When one membrane is pulled down electrostatically, the other membrane is pushed up pneumatically. Wagner et al., "Micromachined Bistable Valves for Implantable Drug Delivery Systems," 18th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, pp 254–255 (1996). However, such approaches to bistable valves are burdened by complexity in both design and fabrication process, and are also unsuitable for high pressure applications.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a microvalve device includes a semiconductor-based valve housing that defines a flow passage and a valve face disposed within the valve housing and in fluid communication with the flow passage. The microvalve device further includes a thermal expansion actuator that drives movement of the valve face from a first position to a second position relative to the flow passage, and a capacitor that holds the valve face in the second position.
According to one embodiment, the microvalve device may also include an insulating layer disposed on portions of the semiconductor-based valve housing. The capacitor may include a first electrode and a second electrode, where the first electrode is disposed on the valve face and a voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes to electrostatically hold the valve face in the second position. The insulating layer may then be further disposed between the first and second electrodes to prevent contact of the first and second electrodes when the valve face is moved from the first position to the second position.
The microvalve device may still further include a capacitance sensor coupled to the first and second electrodes wherein the capacitance sensor monitors a capacitance level to determine when the valve face reaches the second position. The capacitance sensor generates a signal indicative of the valve face having reached the second position and utilized to discontinue application of power to a heating element of the thermal expansion actuator.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a microvalve device includes a semiconductor-based valve housing, a valve face disposed within the valve housing, and an actuator having a heating element that displaces the valve face to effect a transition from a first stable state to a second stable state. The microvalve device further includes a latch that maintains displacement of the valve face in the second stable state.
In one embodiment, the microvalve device further includes a sensor that detects when the transition from the first stable state to the second stable state has occurred. The sensor generates a signal indicative of the transition which is utilized to discontinue heating by the heating element. The latch may include a capacitor where a voltage is applied to a pair of electrodes of the capacitor to activate the latch and hold the microvalve in the second stable state electrostatically. The pair of electrodes may also be coupled to a capacitance level detection circuit of the sensor.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a method is useful for fluid flow control through a passage in a microvalve having a valve face that rests in a first position. Application of power is provided to an actuator to displace the valve face from the first position to a second position, and the time at which the valve face reaches the second position is sensed. A latch is activated to maintain the valve face in the second position, and the application of power to the actuator is then discontinued.
The features of this invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention may be best understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals identify like elements in the several figures, and in which:
Described herein is a microvalve design having an actuation mechanism complemented by a latch or hold such that the microvalve consumes power only during valve displacement or transitions from one stable state to another stable state. More particularly, the advantages of thermal-based actuation are combined with the benefits of electrostatic latching to provide bi-stable microvalve functionality with ultra-low power consumption. Further efficiencies are gained through the use of a sensor to determine accurately when power should no longer be applied to the thermal-based actuation mechanism such that power is only substantially consumed during the transitions. Power consumption during the transitions may also minimized with an insulated cavity that prevents unnecessary heating of the device outside of the actuation mechanism as described in greater detail hereinbelow.
Thermal-based actuation such as thermopneumatic drive mechanisms provide high force, small size, large valve throw, and relatively high speed (i.e., fast response times). These operational characteristics are augmented by the additional advantage of low power consumption brought about by an integrated sensor that determines when a latch should be activated. This combination of high performance with low power consumption makes the disclosed microvalve design ideal for wireless applications, such as a low-power wireless gas chromotagraphy system. The microvalve is, however, also well suited for any number of other applications and operation in other contexts for the reasons already identified, as well as a robust design capable of batch fabrication via the fabrication sequences described below.
With reference now to
The microvalve 12 has a thermal expansion actuator having a region 18 where heat is applied by a heating element, such as a resistive heater 20. The region 18 may be insulated as described in more detail below to improve performance and efficiency. Lines 22 and 24 supply current from a power source (not shown) that may act as the common source for all components of the microflow controller 10.
In this embodiment, the microvalve 12 rests in the open position, and current supplied to the resistive heater 20 displaces a valve face (see, e.g.,
Positioning in the closed state is stable because the microvalve of
In this embodiment, the same lines 28, 30 carrying a signal indicative of valve position may also apply a voltage across the electrodes 32, 34 to latch, or hold, the microvalve 12 in the closed position. Waiting until the microvalve 12 has reached the closed position to apply the voltage is advantageous because it avoids the contamination problems that plague other electrostatically based microvalves. That is, particles present in the flow channel may be electrostatically attracted and then attach to the electrodes of the valve. Such particles in the flow passage 14 will not be present between the electrodes 32, 34 because the microvalve 12 will already be closed.
A control 36 is responsive to the signal generated by the sensor circuit 26 to determine when to apply the voltage across the electrodes 32, 34. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the sensor 26 and the control circuit 36 may, but need not, be integrated to any greater or lesser extent. The sensor 26 and control circuits 36 may be incorporated, for instance, in a single circuit capable of sensing capacitance and sourcing voltage at the same time. Generally speaking, however, the sensor 26 and/or the control circuit 36 analyze the signal generated at the electrodes 32, 34 using feedback to sense the change in state. The same analysis may be utilized for calibration purposes.
In operation, fluid flow control is achieved by providing power to the actuation mechanism—in this case, the resistive heater 20—to displace the valve face from the stable rest position to the closed position. The sensor 26 may determine that the capacitance level has reached a threshold indicative of the closed position, at which time the latch is activated to maintain the valve face in that position. Application of power to the resistive heater 20 may then be discontinued once the latch is activated. From that point, the microvalve 12 resides in a stable state (i.e., the closed position) without any further significant consumption of power, if any.
The foregoing steps may be performed at the direction of the control 36 and, more generally, may be implemented through hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof.
The resistive heater 56 transfers energy to a substance contained within the cavity 54 and depicted schematically in
In general, the thermal expansion substance drives or displaces a movable valve plate 60 relative to the flow passage 46. The valve plate 60 is suspended above the actuation cavity 54 via a corrugated silicon membrane or diaphragm 62. The corrugated nature of the membrane 62 provides a compliant structure with greatly increased deflection (>50 microns) capability but with relatively small actuation force as compared to other flat silicon or thin-film diaphragms. The valve plate 60 has a face or surface 64 that eventually occludes the flow passage 46 after displacement or deflection brings the valve face 64 in contact with a valve seat 65. The membrane or diaphragm 62 need not include a corrugated portion if, for example, stiffness is reduced for other structural or geometric reasons.
Further information regarding the capabilities and characteristics of the corrugated membrane and the deflection of the valve face 62 may be found in the microvalve literature directed to thermopneumatic valve actuation schemes and well known to those skilled in the art.
The resistive heater 56 may take the form of one or more grids or other structures having shapes with large surface area for contact with the thermal expansion substance 58. In one exemplary embodiment, the grid may include a lattice (not shown) of 100 micron beam segments forming diamond-shaped pores. Each beam has a 4 micron wide cross-section, where each beam includes a bulk silicon (doped) frame that may also serve as the heating element. Other materials may be used either alone or in combination with the doped silicon, such as a dielectrically insulated polysilicon layer. Such polysilicon or other layers may provide for independent control of the heater resistance (rather than being limited to the frame doping level). As will be explained below in connection with one embodiment, the frame doping is set to ensure an adequate etch stop. More generally, the resistive heater 56 may be suspended or elevated above the lower glass cap 44 by a pair of posts 66, 68. Elevation of the heat generating components of the heater 56 (e.g., approximately, for example, 9 microns) helps to avoid direct heat conduction to the glass cap 44. In the case of a resistive grid of heating elements, heater electrode contacts 70 may spread out into a number of fingers (not shown), each of which is coupled to one of the posts 66, 68, which are in turn coupled to the grid. Such multiple contact points to the posts 66, 68 provide for reduced contact resistance and improve the likelihood of good contacts generally.
With continued reference to
A dielectric layer 83 of the capacitor is shown on the electrode 74 in
In one embodiment, an insulator is deposited in the cavity 54 to reduce heat loss to the valve body 45 and other device components outside of the cavity 54. The insulator may include an insulating layer 82 disposed on one or more of the interior walls 52 of the cavity 54. In one exemplary embodiment, the insulating layer 82 is a parylene layer deposited after the device components have been assembled and before the thermal actuation substance 58 is introduced or injected into the cavity 54. The parylene layer may have a thickness of approximately 10 microns. A parylene layer may also act as the dielectric layer 83 for the above-described capacitor, and two separate depositions steps may be used to optimize thicknesses and other characteristics of the respective layers. More generally, performance benefits may result from additional (or other) selective deposition, but for certain cases, such as an embodiment having thin insulator layers (e.g., about 0.5 microns), conformal deposition will still result in a net improvement.
In one embodiment, the insulating layer 82 is a parylene layer having a thickness in a range from about 0.5 microns to about 10.0 microns. Parylene has a very low thermal conductivity of (k=0.0837 W K/m), but any one of a number of insulative materials known to those skilled in the art may be utilized.
Generally speaking, the insulator helps increase the efficiency of the thermal expansion actuation mechanism by directing actuation-based power consumption to heating the cavity and avoiding the heating of the rest of the chip. Operation of a thermally actuated microvalve in a manner that heats up the rest of the chip causes the device speed to be slow. In contrast, cavity-only heating may occur in a time period on the order of tens of milliseconds, and the response time of the device 10 is greatly improved. For example, when the heating is localized to the cavity 54 and the capacitor is used for latching, a power savings of over 99% may be achieved.
Fabrication of the microvalve 12 generally relies upon two substrate assemblies each having a glass cap and semiconductor wafer. The fabrication sequence is shown in
In the event that thermopneumatic actuation is utilized, the thermal expansion substance may be pentane or methanol, but many other fluids may be used, such as hexane, Freon, or even water.
Use of a solid thermal expansion substance (regardless of whether it vaporizes with heating) may be advantageous because the solid may be deposited prior to attachment of the two substrate assemblies, thereby avoiding an injection step as well as the need to seal an injection hole. Sealants such as an epoxy may degrade over time through fluid absorption or other material failure, thereby limiting the robustness of the device. It may also be desirable to avoid the injection step to further enhance manufacturability through batch processing.
The sensor circuit 26, the control 36 and any other component providing electronics or logic functionality may, but need not be integrated with the microvalve on a common chip, die, substrate or other medium. For example, the above-described substrate assemblies may be mounted on a board or in a package having one or more other integrated circuit chips or other system components.
Still other modifications and alternative embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the foregoing description. The description is to be construed as illustrative only, and is for the purpose of teaching those skilled in the art the best mode of carrying out the invention. The details of the structure and method may be varied substantially without departing from the spirit of the invention, and exclusive use of all modifications which come within the scope of the appended claims is reserved.

text: It was 62 miles to the job site from our center with about 52 miles of that being the "highway." Driving as fast as possible while still being safe, the trip normally takes 3 hours. While the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, there is little time to view it even by the passengers. All are constantly on the lookout for "potholes" (here they can be the size of a car) and landslides that can take out the entire road as well as other drivers who have no concern for their safety or the safety of others. The road is very rough and you are bounced around for most of the trip. Framing a house is getting harder to recuperate from as I get older but the "ride to work" is the hardest part.

In this paper we question the one-sided thesis that contemporary organizations rely on the mobilization of cognitive capacities. We suggest that severe restrictions on these capacities in the form of what we call functional stupidity are an equally important if under-recognized part of organizational life. Functional stupidity refers to an absence of reflexivity, a refusal to use intellectual capacities in other than myopic ways, and avoidance of justifications. We argue that functional stupidity is prevalent in contexts dominated by economy in persuasion which emphasizes image and symbolic manipulation. This gives rise to forms of stupidity management that repress or marginalize doubt and block communicative action. In turn, this structures individuals' internal conversations in ways that emphasize positive and coherent narratives and marginalize more negative or ambiguous ones. This can have productive outcomes such as providing a degree of certainty for individuals and organizations. But it can have corrosive consequences such as creating a sense of dissonance among individuals and the organization as a whole. The positive consequences can give rise to self-reinforcing stupidity. The negative consequences can spark dialogue, which may undermine functional stupidity.

A 23-year-old man was arrested late Wednesday in Vancouver on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the fatal shooting Sunday in Portland of Leonard James "LJ" Irving, according to the Portland Police Bureau. Two others were injured in the early morning triple shooting.
Isaiah Eric Mandley Jr. is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in the Clark County Jail. He's expected to be extradited to Oregon.
Mandley was arrested at about 10:15 p.m. in the 2800 block of Northeast 138th Avenue, according to a news release. A SWAT team made up of officers from the Vancouver Police Department and Clark County Sheriff's Office took Mandley into custody, with help from the Gresham, Ore., Police Department's Special Emergency Reaction Team.
The investigation that led to Mandley's arrest started at 12:37 a.m. Sunday with reports of a man shot at Northeast 82nd Avenue and Thompson Street. Officers arrived to find Irving dead of a single gunshot wound.
Lamar Lovette Hill, 21, was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck, according to police. Jeray Lashawn Jessie, also 21, walked into an area hospital sometime later with a gunshot wound to the forearm.

TORONTO (AP) — Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel is expected to come off the 15-day disabled list Thursday to start the opener of an important four-game series against the New York Yankees.
Hammel had a successful bullpen session in Toronto on Tuesday. He hasn't appeared in a major league game since July 13, when he left a start against Detroit with pain in his right knee. He underwent surgery the following week.
Hammel pitched five scoreless innings in a rehab start at Class-A Frederick last Saturday, his first live game following a pair of simulated games. The Orioles wanted to see how Hammel performed in his bullpen session before deciding whether to start him against the Yankees, who led the Orioles by one game in the AL East entering play Tuesday.

I love Bert but Bert for Tootoo is shaky move!!!
Bert has had and still has Jacked up back and leg which was preceded by mono and NO games at NHL speed this year!
Impossible for him to be in playoff game condition.
I sure hope he sparks us and Has a great game but even in great shape he has always been prone to laZy hooking penalties and turnovers with those patented 1 arm passes.
I still think Toots is scared to play his game entirely for fear of penalties and riding press box next game.
Lets go Bert and Wings!!!!
Here's to adrenaline
