1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a metal living hinge mechanism. More particularly, the invention relates to a metal living hinge formed of sheet metal and which may be used through a preselected angular range for some minimum number of cycles without failure due to bending stress.
2. Description of the Related Art
Various devices utilize sheet metal components. Many of these components require repeatable access by opening, and therefore utilize a hinge. However, multi-piece hinge mechanisms are costly, and more difficult to incorporate in the manufacturing process. In the lighting industry, there is a multitude of fixture types, including for instance, troffer lighting, recessed lighting, outdoor landscaping, and in-cove lighting. In the various lighting fixtures, it is desirable to utilize a junction box or ballast housing which has a pivoting door assembly. These structures generally require limited access to internal components during installation and for occasional maintenance issues.
With respect to in-cove luminaires, these fixtures have a certain unique problem as related to height and serviceability of the devices. Architects generally utilize the smallest cove allowable to conceal the fixture, which imposes limitations on the height and depth of the fixture. This generally limits the ability to install reflectors and larger ballasts.
Maintenance issues are also a design factor which must be accommodated. Lamp replacement in-cove lighting may be at heights of twenty or more feet above ground level. Ballasts must also be accessible, as they typically need replacement after several years of continuous use. During the typical life of a fixture, ballasts may need to be replaced five to seven times. Since many of these fixtures are formed of stamped metal, doors must be removably formed. A hinge detail would be preferable to provide access to the ballast area of the fixture without necessitating removal of a door. For example, a living hinge assembly would be desirable, however such living hinge must be able to withstand a certain minimum number of cycles in order to allow for lamp changes and/or ballast replacements. Heretofore, such living hinge has not been available.
Given the foregoing, it will be appreciated that a metal living hinge assembly is needed which may be formed of sheet metal and allows repeated use through a preselected angular range of motion and number of cycles before failure. The living hinge of the instant disclosure may be utilized with various types of devices, including but not limited to luminaires.
A one-piece hinge mechanism comprising a first member having a plurality of fingers, the fingers extending toward a second member, the second member having a plurality of fingers extending toward the first member, the fingers of the first member and the fingers of the second member engaging opposite sides of a web extending between the first member and the second member, the web being torsionally loaded when one of the first member is pivoted relative to the second member.
A living hinge mechanism for use with a light fixture, comprising a first fixture member having a first axis, a second fixture member having a second axis generally aligned with the first axis, a living hinge defined by a plurality of fingers extending from the first fixture member and a second plurality of fingers extending from the second fixture member, an arm extending between the first fixture member and the second fixture member, the first plurality of fingers and the second plurality of fingers extending to the arm. The living hinge is formed of metal. The metal being between 10 gauge and 26 gauge cold rolled steel.
The living hinge more preferably being between about 20 and 24 gauge cold rolled steel. The living hinge arm having an axis which is parallel to the first axis and the second axis. The first fingers being offset from the second fingers in a direction perpendicular to the first and second axes. The living hinge having a limited life cycle. The life cycle being at least about 80 cycles through an arc of about 120 degrees. The life cycle being about 200 cycles through an arc of about 90 degrees. The first and second plurality of fingers being aligned on opposite sides of the arm. The living hinge wherein the living hinge is utilized with an in-cove light.
A hinge assembly for a luminaire comprising an arm extending in a direction substantially parallel to a first assembly portion edge and a second assembly portion edge, at least one first finger extending from the first assembly portion edge to the arm, at least one second finger extending from the second assembly portion edge to the arm, wherein the at least one first finger and the at least one second finger are offset in a direction which is transverse to the arm. The hinge assembly wherein one of the at least one first finger and the at least one second finger are disposed at an end of the arm. The hinge assembly wherein two fingers of the at least one first finger and the at least one second finger are located at opposed ends of the arm. The hinge assembly defining a portion of a luminaire fixture. The hinge assembly defining a portion of a ballast housing. The hinge assembly comprising apertures disposed between the fingers. The fingers having curved sidewalls and the apertures being oblong in shape. Alternatively, the fingers having straight sidewalls and the apertures being rectangular in shape.
The above-mentioned and other features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of "including," "comprising," or "having" and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. Unless limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "coupled," and "mounted," and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect connections, couplings, and mountings.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views, there are shown in
Referring now to
The fixture 10 and specifically the hinge 30 may be formed of 18-26 gauge cold rolled steel, although other materials may be utilized. More preferably, the hinge 30 may be formed of 20-24 gauge cold rolled commercial grade steel. The fixture 10 may be painted, anodized or otherwise have a white finish, however alternative colors may be utilized and therefore should not considered limiting. The fixture 10 may come in various lengths. For example, the distance measured along the direction that the hinge 30 extends may be two feet, three feet or four feet, however alternative lengths may be utilized. Likewise, alternative devices, other than luminaires, may be utilized with the metal living hinge of the present invention.
The ballast housing 12 comprises four sides including a first fixture member 16, a second fixture member 24, a fixture frame or fixture arm 14 and a socket mounting member 18. The first fixture member 16 is generally rectangular in shape having a pair of parallel long edges 20 and a pair of parallel short edges 21, which are substantially perpendicular to the long edges 20. The fixture members 16, 24 are shown defining a portion of a ballast housing, however, the fixture members may define alternative luminaire structures, including, for example, a junction box housing, a fixture frame, and may also be used on various types of luminaires, therefore not specifically limited to in-cove lighting.
The first fixture member 16 is integrally connected with a socket mounting member 18. The socket mounting member 18 has a substantially rectangular shape like the first fixture member 16 and is connected along one of the long edges 20. Additionally, the first fixture member 16 is disposed at an angle of about 90 degrees to the socket mounting member 18, which depends from the first fixture member 16 toward the frame member 14.
Extending along one of the edges 20 of the first fixture member 16, opposite the socket mounting member 18, is a living hinge 30. The living hinge 30 connects the first fixture member 16 and a second fixture member 24 and provides opening and closing access to the ballast housing 12 through the first fixture member 16. Although the term fixture is used, the term should not be considered limiting since the term fixture is only used because the exemplary device having the living hinge is a light fixture or luminaire. As previously indicated, the hinge element may be utilized with various types of devices and should not be construed as being limited to luminaires. The members 16,24 could be any type of members based on the type of device the hinge is utilized with. The living hinge 30 is designed to have a limited life cycle of at least 80 cycles through an arcuate distance of 120 degrees. Additionally, the living hinge 30 may move through a path of about 90 degrees for 200 cycles without failure. However, the living hinge 30 has a limited life cycle because of its eventual failure due to the hinge 30 being formed of sheet steel, which is desirable for costs but has a lower ductility than other materials.
Along a long edge of the second fixture member 24, opposite the first fixture member 16, is the fixture frame 14, which connects to the second fixture member 24 and is disposed at an angle of about 90 degrees to the second fixture member 24. The frame member 14 defines a lower surface of the ballast housing 12 and the fixture 10 and is generally parallel to the first fixture member 16. The fixture frame 14 extends outwardly beyond the ballast housing 12 and bends upwardly for optically desirable characteristics. At an end of the fixture arm or member 14, opposite the ballast housing 12, a linear reflector 54 is positioned along the edge of the device 14 and bends upwardly, also for optically desirable characteristics. The frame member 14 comprises a plurality of fastening apertures 50 for mounting of the fixture 10 within a cove. The apertures 50 allow the fixture 10 to be fastened along the surface of the frame member 14 aligned with the lower surface of the ballast housing 12 or at an angled surface of the frame member 14. The reflector 54 is located at an end of the frame member 14 and is angled upwardly in the orientation depicted in
The socket mounting member 18 includes opposed lamp sockets 19 which receive a lamp 17. The sockets 19 are merely exemplary as various types of lamps may be utilized and therefore should not be considered limiting. For example, the sockets 19 may be sized to receive T5 or T8 lamps, although other sizes may also be used.
Above the frame member 14, a reflector 80 is disposed which has a plurality of reflector surfaces. The reflector 80 includes a first surface 82 above the lamp, a second surface 84 behind the lamp and adjacent the socket mounting member 18. At least one additional reflective surface 86 extends from the second surface 84 to the fixture. The reflector 80 of the exemplary device is a specular material having a mirrored finish. However, alternative finishes may be utilized, such as a diffuse finish or other.
Extending from the socket mounting member 18 is a flange 60 which is substantially rectangular in shape. The flange 60 extends from the socket mounting member 18 at an angle of about 90 degrees, and is positioned against the upper surface of the frame member 14. The flange 60 includes bosses 62, which receive complementary bosses 64 disposed on the frame member 14, so as to properly align the flange 60 on the frame member 14 as well as properly position the first fixture member 16 and socket member mounting 18 on the fixture 10.

Thus, the hinge 30 will pivot torsionally about the longitudinal axis of the arm 32, and along the surface of the arm 32, as shown in
Referring now to
With the members 16, 24 in a folded position moving from about 180 degrees apart toward about 90 degrees apart, the fingers 34, 38 are rigid enough to cause torsional flexing of the arm 32 about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the arm 32. The flexing of the arm 32 in opposed directions is dictated by the opposed offset fingers 34,36. As shown in the Figure, the arm 32 has wave like bends toward each finger 34,36. The angular bends of the arm 32 are less than the range of motion of the first and second fixture members 16,24. For example, the arm 32 may rotate by an angle of about 45 degrees in one direction and by an angle of about 45 degrees in an opposite direction when one member 16 moves through a total distance of 90 degrees relative to the other member 24. Prior art hinges would require bending of a section of metal hinge between the members of 90 degrees, resulting in premature failure of the hinge 30. The present design provides for increased use and life of the hinge 30, as opposed to a hinge element which extends from the first fixture member 16 to the second fixture member 24 and must bend through a large angular distance, such as the 90 degrees mentioned above. The hinge 30 has reduced stress due to the decreased amount of bending of the metal in the arm 32. Other factors which may affect the number of life cycles include the width of the arm 32 and the metal thickness previously described. Further, the plurality of lengths of the arm 32 from one finger 34 to a second finger 36 will also affect the torsional stress. Longer lengths generally decrease the torsional stress. The thickness of the metal in the arm will also dictate an increase or decrease in torsional loading

Hmmmm .... OK, where is the thread I posted just a day ago about the dream I had where the oceans of the world were dying? I even posted links showing dead sea creatures in massive amounts washing up on shores. It's obvious by now, don't you all think? There is definitely something very amiss with our world, and the oceans are in deep trouble. This dream that I had was so troubling that I felt compelled to post it here on this forum, but now it seemingly cannot be found. Often dreams that I have - like this and/or mundane dreams - play out in 3 cycles: 3 hours, 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years. That someone else has posted more warnings about our oceans just confirm what I saw in my dream: pollution of the oceans of the world due to man's use of fossil fuels.
Erasing, blocking or eliminating posts which point to the obvious does not work, to anyone/all who felt compelled to do so; it just delays others' awareness of what if happening in the here and now. It is imperative that we all begin to do something now - no matter how small - to try and return our oceans and planet back to its natural state. If we continue on our current, heedless course, the obvious will occur, and then EVERYONE will yell and cry and demand to know why something was not done. We are ALL responsible for the state of our earth, as we are all connected here on earth. We all eat, breathe, eliminate waste products, use and disperse toxic materials in some way, form or shape, therefore we all have a DUTY to be responsible towards the earth and the oceans for what we use and disperse therein, and to try to keep it clean for all concerned.
We are now all in a state where we can easily progress towards our own extinction; let's all stop being 'the dinosaur', and start to really ch-habitate with nature before it is truly too late.
Thank you for reading my post; have a good day.

turnkey systemA computer system that has been customized for a particular application. The term derives from the idea that the end user can just turn a key and the system is ready to go. Turnkey systems include all the hardware and software necessary for the particular application.

10 tips for choosing a quality weight loss program
Consumers spend billions of dollars each year on weight loss programs and products, and yet obesity rates continue to increase. With so many options available, how can you choose the right one that will help you lose weight safely and keep it off for good?
After the Marathon
Whether it is your first or your fiftieth marathon, the feeling is identical when you cross the finish line: exhilaration, which, at some point, gives way to the tired, achy feeling that inevitably comes from logging more than 26 miles in a single stretch.
Alcohol Eats Away at Muscle Mass
If increasing muscle mass is one of your goals, then think twice before you go out for a night of heavy drinking. Consuming alcohol in large quantities has a direct effect on your metabolism, causing fat to be stored instead of being utilized as an energy source.

In a land far, far away there is an altar where Kardashians have not bastardised what it means to be a bride, where Pippa Middleton's derriere does not exist and the word "Wang" refers to an appendage not appliqué - that place is a hipster wedding.
Heading to Bali, Bintang and braids was all the rage for couples in 2010.
In 2011 weddings were ritzy affairs that featured two custom McQueen's and a balcony kiss with a balding prince - now 2012's season for saying "til death do us part" is all about covert affairs, hand crafts and ad hoc touches.
Even since Carrie wore a suit when Big finally put a ring on it, Mossy's revelled in a three-day fashtastic love in and Kim K committed crimes against the Church of the Good Taste - the hipsters, with their personalised bunting, floral garlands and shoelessness, have come into their own as brides by not giving a sartorial s**t.
While some high-profile brides have gone down the "I'll-just-call-up-old mate J'Aton/Galliano/Herrera-to-whip-some-tulle-together-for-me"route, others have abolished the word "bridal" from their style brief or just borrowed a Janome to make their own frock and accessories.
Given the amount of celebrity hipster "non-weddings" that have already taken place this year alone, "hipster bride" is destined to appear on the ASOS trend guide faster than the time it takes this writer to spell "bonbonniere" correctly.
Before that happens, in anticipation of a golden age where every bride looks like a chic sugared almond rather than a spray tanned meringue, here are the wives who have blazed the trail and taken their vows at the altar of DIY fashion:
Jade Jagger
The 40-year-old jewellery designer was almost upstaged at her wedding by her former model mother Bianca, her D&G clad old man Mick Jagger and bestie Kate Moss covered in McQueen (and cigarette ash and Champagne), however her stark white "dress by no-one" with thin straps, scoop neckline and crystal clasp embellishments stole the show, as did the flowers in her bed hair.
Margherita Missoni
The fashion heiress' wedding, which took place on a grassy knoll and featured a giant love heart shaped cake covered in fresh raspberries, caused a style stir mainly because the gown required more than 5,679,784 metres of silk and organza from the Missoni stockpile.
It was reported, much to the chagrin of the woman in question that the creamy, long sleeved, voluminous Princess Bride-esque frock was a DIY creation because of the 14,000 styling references she appeared to channel on her big day.
The gown was actually sketched by Marg and stitched by Giambattista Valli - she, and she alone, decided to plait her hair like a milk maid and wear a jewel encrusted Wonder Women-type tiara and flats.
"The dress was made by the women who saw me growing up, following my precise directions and with Giamba's 'couture counselling," the bride tweeted after a furore over who made the frock erupted online.
Peaches Geldof
Peaches wanted a "country wedding meets A Midsummer Night's Dream" and her recent wedding to Tom Cohen had it all - edible pig cakes, seven bridesmaids, one dandelion headdress and three "custom" gowns designed by Alberta Ferretti which were all signed off by Peaches, who added long laced sleeves and a train to rival Fergie's 1986 version.
Anne Hathaway
Acting may not be Hathaway's forte but wedding clashing certainly is because she wore Valentino frou frou with a bedazzled bandana. Even though the dress (she helped design) resembled a muted version of Gwen Stefani's Dior white and pink silk faille gown, the Les Mis star committed to vintage - whether it worked or not - and owned it.
Jessa from Girls
Ok so it wasn't a real wedding but TV's favourite hipster Jessa (Jemima Kirke) tied the knot with Chris O'Dowd's character in an ivory shift dress found in a Williamsburg thrift store owned by Kirke's real life mother.
Her blue suede studded Alexander McQueen heels, white garter, lace veil and floral headdress completed the "I've decided to marry this douche" look which was pulled together by Girls costume designer Jenn Rogien in less than six days.
The dress was almost overshone by the use of Yankin' by Lady as the couple said "I do" - luckily as a wedding planner series creator Lena Dunham makes a great television writer.
Dawn Porter
The UK journalist who snared Chris O'Dowd's Irish heart (in real life) married her man in a royal blue fleece onesie and ate a Magnum for dinner at the reception. Enough said.
Blake Lively
While we have to wait until Martha Stewart releases the images, the blonde Gossip Girl who has a thing for cupcakes (baking not eating them obviously) was reportedly a "creative bride with a clear vision of what she wanted" for her top secret nuptials to Ryan Reynolds.
As she doesn't consult a stylist for her red carpet appearances she oversaw every stitch being made on her one-of-a-kind hand-draped silk tulle Marchesa gown adorned with crystal and rose gold embroidery.
So while we wait for Jessica and Justin and Jennifer and Justin T to run away to Middle-Of-Nowhere, Idaho to tie the knot (for lucrative magazine deals) in private, wedding gown designer Henry Roth reckons downunder brides are more hip than their Americano cousins and have got the leg up on celebrities hot footing it down the aisle.
Speaking to The Vine recently he said he believes local brides-to-be are innately "hipster" because of our isolation to the land that introduced us to The Bachelor and Bridezillas.
"[They] are extremely sophisticated and on top of that they are prepared to really go to the furthest point to ensure their personal style shines through."

Which E3 2016 Game Was Your Favorite?
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Battlefield 1
God of War
Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Dishonored 2
Further Proof the PS3 is Done
Written by
John Scalzo
January 12, 2009
Make the Case Editorial:
Why 360 is a success
PS3 is a failure
Why 360 is a failure
PS3 is a success
In March I wrote
Stick a Fork in the PS3, It's Done
, an editorial refuting the claim that 2008 would be "The Year of the PlayStation 3." My inbox was stuffed with hate mail. I was called all sorts of names and yet, with 2008 in the books, Sony has continued to provide ample proof that the PS3 is destined to join the ranks of the great blunders of history.
Poor Sales Figures
In November,
was released amidst controversy and fantastic reviews. The game has been referred to as the PS3's killer app. The YouTube of gaming. The game that will change everything forever. Instead, it sold 215,000 copies in its first month and only barely squeaked into the NPD Top 10. LittleBigPlanet is, for all intents and purposes, a sales flop.
This is not the first time that a highly anticipated PS3 game has posted poor sales numbers, but it is the most jarring. Sony has attempted to position Sackboy as the face of the PlayStation brand (surely, he's more cuddly than Kratos), but they will be doing it with a game that was outsold by Microsoft's
Fable II
by a margin of nearly four to one. The Year of the PS3 is littered with a similar lack of bestsellers.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
, while pegged as "just a taste" of the full game, was released in April to sales numbers similar to LittleBigPlanet. But you'll say, "Prologue was just a preview and not the real Gran Turismo 5, of of course it won't put up big sales numbers!" And you'd be right of course, but the fact remains that the next Gran Turismo (for real this time!) would have sold ten times that. Instead, the game has become a footnote, a demo pushed out the door within weeks of
Grand Theft Auto IV
so it could be forgotten. All of this is compounded by the fact that Kazunori Yamauchi, CEO of Polyphony Digital, said at E3 that the real Gran Turismo 5 might not be released until 2010.
While not a footnote, the strange case of
Metal Gear Solid 4
has also weighed heavily on the PS3's fortunes this Summer. Selling an impressive three million copies worldwide since its release, the game stormed out of the gate early and sold nearlt 2.5 million copies in its first month and just 500,000 in the five months since. It launched big, but the game has been pushed to the background as Sony decided to focus on LittleBigPlanet.
Amazingly enough though, at 775,000 copies sold it its first month in America, MGS4 doesn't even hold the distinction of biggest sales month of the year. In fact, its not even in the top ten. It has been beaten by the aforementioned Fable II, GTA4 on the Xbox 360 (twice) and PS3,
Mario Kart Wii
Gears of War 2
Call of Duty: World at War
(the Xbox 360 version),
Wii Play
Madden 09
(the Xbox 360 version). It's a solid release, but hardly the system seller that the forum fanboys would have you believe it would have been a few months before its release.
In fact, few PS3 games even make the NPD monthly Top 10. And the system's lack of a deep library (compared to the Xbox 360 and Wii) continues to show that gamers who choose two systems more consistently choose an Xbox 360 and a Wii than a PS3 and a Wii or a PS3 and an Xbox 360. This is most apparent in November when
Gears of War 2
and the Xbox 360 versions of
Call of Duty: World at War
Left 4 Dead
sold as many copies during the month as every PS3 game combined.
The final nail in the coffin that the PS3 is not as relevant, saleswise, compared to the Wii and Xbox 360, is that Sony has squandered all of their profits from the glory days of the PS2 on PS3 development and advertising. Or at least, so says
Dave Perry
The PS3's retail price (and the massive R&D budget required to build such a system) is definitely the prime reason for such low sales numbers and lost profits. And during the prime shopping season of the "Year of the PS3", the Xbox 360 and the Wii are pulling away even more. Retailers have reported that Xbox 360s outsold PS3s by a ratio of three to one on Black Friday. Meanwhile, the Wii sold out its stock at retailers across the country and currently demands a nearly 50% markup on eBay.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/21/12 -- ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SNM)(OMX:SNM) ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Highlights -- On November 7, 2012 General Exploration Partners Ltd, operator of the Atrush Block and acting on behalf of the Contractor Group under the Atrush Block Production Sharing Contract, submitted to the Atrush Block Management Committee a Declaration of Commercial Discovery with effect from November 7, 2012. -- The Atrush-2 appraisal well was spudded on May 23, 2012 and a total depth of 1,750 meters was reached ahead of schedule on July 10, 2012. Following the conclusion of the comprehensive well testing program the Company announced on September 13, 2012 that the main reservoir in Atrush-2 produced a combined flow rate of more than 42,200 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") and that additional oil resources were confirmed in two additional formations. -- The Atrush 1 discovery well which was drilled last year was completed in November 2012. The well is now ready to be connected to production facilities and put on stream as a future producer. -- Civil works for road access and site preparation for the Atrush-3 appraisal well are nearing completion. The drilling rig used to drill Atrush-2 and complete Atrush-1 will be moved to Atrush-3 which is expected to spud before the end of this year. -- 3D seismic acquisition on the Atrush Block was completed on August 11, 2012. Final processing of the complete 3D seismic survey is expected in the first quarter of 2013. -- The tendering process has been completed for a contract to install and operate extended test facilities ("ETF") on the Atrush Block with a production capacity of up to 5,000 bopd. The ETF is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of the year 2013 with production coming from the Atrush-1 well. -- The Company announced on August 20, 2012 that it sold its entire 20% undivided participating interest in the Taza production sharing contract ("PSC") to a subsidiary of Total S.A. for a USD 48 million purchase price plus a reimbursement of costs incurred on joint operations from April 1, 2012 until the closing date. -- The Company signed final binding agreements with the KRG in January 2012 to relinquish the 60% working interests previously held in each of the Arbat and Pulkhana PSCs. An amount of $25 million was paid in January 2012 to the KRG as relinquishment fees to fulfill all outstanding financial commitments on these two blocks. The agreements relieve the Company of any further obligations under these PSCs. Disappointing testing results from the Pulkhana 9 well led the Company to this decision. -- The Company has re-engaged McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd ("McDaniels"), its independent qualified resources evaluator, to provide the Company with a Detailed Property Report ("DPR") which will include the results of an evaluation of the reserves and resources data of the Company as at December 31, 2012. -- In August 2012 the Company repaid in full the short term financing of $10 million which had been obtained in April 2012 from two related parties. -- The Company reported net income of nil and a net loss of $26.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (2011: net losses of $2.8 million and 3.3 million). The cash balance of the Company was $43.3 million as at September 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011: $49.1 million).
Financial and Operating Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company continued its exploration and appraisal campaign in respect of petroleum properties located in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq which constitute the continuing operations of the Company. These petroleum properties have generated no revenues. The net loss in the first three quarters of 2012 was primarily driven by one-time relinquishment fees totaling $25 million which were relating to the relinquishment of the Pulkhana and Arbat Block PSCs paid to the KRG in January 2012.

The cash position of the Company decreased by $5.8 million during first nine months of 2012. The decrease in the cash position was due to $59.3 in cash outflows, which was mainly comprised of cash payments to the KRG of $25 million in relinquishment fees, payments against accounts payable and accrued expenses by $20.7 million and $14.1 million in spending related to the Atrush and Taza Block petroleum properties, offset by cash inflows of $53.5 million related to the sale of the Taza Block PSC interest and other assets.

Atrush Block
The Contractor is currently in the process of preparing a Field Development Plan which will be submitted to the Atrush Block Management Committee within 180 days following the Declaration of Commercial Discovery which was submitted on November 7, 2012.
The Atrush-3 appraisal well is expected to be spudded before the end of the current year. Civil engineering work is nearing completion which will provide road access to the Atrush-3 well location which is approximately 5km east of the Atrush-2 well. The drilling rig will be moved from the Atrush-1 well site to the Atrush-3 location.
The Atrush-4 and Atrush-5 appraisal wells are planned to be spudded during the year 2013. Planning for these wells is currently underway.
The 3D seismic acquisition program which covered the entire Atrush block and adjoining Swara Tika discovery was completed on August 11, 2012. Final processing of the complete 3D seismic survey is expected in the first quarter of 2013.
The tendering process has been completed for a contract to install and operate extended test facility ("ETF") with a maximum production capacity of 5,000 bopd. The ETF is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2013 with production coming from the Atrush-1 well. The Atrush-2 well will be used to monitor reservoirs. An additional ETF is planned to be installed on the Atrush-3 well in the second half of the year 2013. Work on an enhanced ETF with production capacities from 10,000 bopd expandable to 30,000 bopd is planned to commence in the second half of the year 2013.
