One Out Of Two Couldn't Even Save This Book,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Feel This Audiobook (Hörkassette)
I could handle Janeane Garofalo's essay's (mildly) but, Ben Stiller was just down right awful. I must say, I was very sadden by this poor attempt at humor from two of the funniest people out there. I'm a huge fan of JG's but, this was just a weak try at being funny. You could almost hear them trying so hard to be smart, full of humor, and a bit on the cutting edge. They really missed the mark. I can't even imagine getting threw a chapter of the print book, at least I had the audio that had mild entertainment value. JG's reading was a step above Ben's but, that wasn't enough to make this book could. Her over abundant use of her (obviously plentiful) vocabulary just got on my nerves. I was really disappointed in this lack luster tale. I was all set to love it and have a wonderful time. Too bad it was such a let down. Don't waste your time....I'm sad I did.

SKF offering online parts catalog mobile appComments Email
ELGIN, Ill. (April 10, 2014) — SKF USA has developed a mobile app based on its automotive and heavy duty online parts catalog,
The free SKF Parts Info app download, available for iPhone, iPad and Android, is designed to provide users with the convenience of an online parts search in a mobile app environment, the Elgin-based company said.
Like the firm's online parts catalog, the SKF app provides users with access to a wide range of part numbers and interchange information for cars and light trucks, and medium and heavy duty trucks. The app's parts search functionality provides more than 77,000 documents-to-SKU relationships, including information sheets, brochures and tech tips.
Additionally, SKF said the app features a VIN scanner for quick and easy parts lookup, as well as links to the SKF Parts Info YouTube channel and Twitter page for access to product information and technical tips for various applications.
"The SKF Parts Info app is an excellent tool, allowing customers to access the e-catalog from their mobile device just about anywhere," said Brian Jungmann, SKF's marketing communications project leader. "With a simple download, technicians can access product information or technical tips as soon as they need it during the repair process."
The company said it also has enhanced the functionality of SKFpartsinfo.com so that the e-catalog works fully when accessed in a browser on a mobile device.
More information about the app is available on SKF's website or by calling 800-882-0008.

Koji Sasahara, Associated Press
SHANGHAI — Asian stocks mixed Wednesday, as a modest improvement in manufacturing data from China offered reassurance over its economic slowdown.
Benchmark oil hovered below $99 per barrel while the dollar rose against the euro and was steady against the yen.
A better-than-expected manufacturing index for January, issued by a government federation, fueled an early rally in most markets across the region. But much of the advance was lost after the later release of a competing, seasonally adjusted survey by HSBC that indicated conditions were still deteriorating.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 edged up less than 0.1 percent to close at 8,809.79. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 0.4 percent to 20,314.21 while Seoul's Kospi added 0.2 percent to 1,959.24.
By afternoon, shares in mainland China had retreated back into negative territory, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index shedding 1.2 percent to 2,265.49.
An unexpected drop in U.S. consumer confidence dragged stocks down overnight on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrial average lost 20.81 points, or 0.2 percent, to 12,632.91. The S&P slipped 0.60 point to 1,312.41 while the Nasdaq composite index rose 1.90 points to close at 2,813.84.
Overall, though, U.S. shares had their best start in 15 years, thanks to a modest improvement in the economy. Sentiment was further buoyed by hopes of progress in Europe after leaders there agreed on the broad outlines of a deal to tie the countries that use the euro closer together and on hopes that Greece is close to a debt-reduction deal with private creditors.
Yet, the mixed signals from China compounded uncertainties still weighing on investor confidence. That is true especially for Australia, whose economy depends heavily on Chinese demand for its coal and other commodities.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.9 percent to 4,225.70 while India's Sensex dropped 0.7 percent to 17,079.29.
Singapore shares also were lower, while Taiwan, Indonesia and New Zealand gained ground.
Benchmark oil for March delivery gained 15 cents to $98.63 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 30 cents to end at $98.48 per barrel in New York on Tuesday.
In currencies, the euro fell to $1.3038 from $1.3084 late Tuesday in New York. The dollar was nearly unchanged at 76.21 yen.

Lost Washington: The Savoy Theater
After purchasing the Savoy, Crandall closed the theater for two months for extensive renovations. When he reopened in September of 1916, and after spending several thousand dollars more, the changes were reported as being so radical, with decorations so elaboration both inside and out, that patrons familiar with the old theater had a hard time believing the new Beaux Arts inspired structure was the same place.
An interesting feature of the Savoy was a trellised open-air theater to the right and behind which allowed audiences to watch movies outside during Washington's muggy summer evenings. This space later disappeared.
Later, the Savoy enjoyed success as a third-run house, playing films exactly one week after they played at the Tivoli, the Tivoli charging 15 cents more than the Savoy's ticket price of 40 cents ca. 1950.
Ultimately, the Savoy was burned in the April riots of 1968 and razed in 1971.
There have been so many old movie and Vaudeville houses in DC demolished it just aint funny. It was really a war on old movie houses right up into the 90's, when someone got the idea to turn them inot "brewhouses" thus saving a precious few.My dad told me that he saw Al Jolson play at the Tivoli- I will have to ask him about the Savoy. I'm sure I passed by it as a kid and didnt even know it.
People who come here have no idea what we have lost to riots , interlopers & developers in old DC...
And RIP to all the persons who died in the knickerbocker tragedy...

The present invention relates to a synchronized seismic signal acquisition method allowing resynchronization of seismic signal acquisition on an exterior event, and to a device for implementing it.
The method according to the invention finds applications in many fields where various measured signals are to be sampled for example, by means of different acquisition chains, by imposing that the series of samples taken are substantially synchronous with an exterior event. This is notably the case in the field of seismic exploration where an initial time from which significant seismic signals are recorded is to be fixed for an acquisition system.
The initial reference time generally selected is the time of triggering of a source of seismic waves. The waves emitted are propagated in the subsoil and received by seismic pickups distributed at the ground surface for example. The signals delivered by these pickups are transmitted to a central control and recording station, generally by means of acquisition devices distributed in the field. Each one of them is suited to amplify, filter, digitize and store all the signals picked up after each source triggering. The stored data are transmitted to a central station from each acquisition device at fixed time intervals (after each emission-reception cycle for example) or "with the stream", as soon as a transmission time interval is available. Seismic acquisition systems are for example described in patents FR-2,511,772 (U.S. Pat. No. -4,583,206) or FR-2,538,194 (U.S. Pat. No. -4,628,494).
In each acquisition device, the seismic signals are applied to an acquisition chain. A conventional acquisition chain structure comprises a steady-gain preamplifier, a high-pass filter, an anti-aliasing low-pass filter and an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter. The converters deliver for example 24-bit numerical words. They are for example (sigma-delta type) oversampling analog-to-digital converters associated with digital filters (FIR).
Oversampling converters produce numerical words of reduced format in relation to conventional converters, but with a much higher frequency. The normal dynamic range is restored by applying to the signals coming from the converter a digital filter referred to as decimation filter which, besides its anti-aliasing filtering functions, is suited to stack a determined number of samples with appropriate weightings as it is well-known to specialists.
An analog-to-digital converter digitizes series of analog samples taken from a signal at times fixed by an internal clock. This is no drawback when the converter works in isolation. It becomes a drawback in all the cases where it is desired to precisely fix an initial reference time in relation to which a sequence of events is located, and especially when signal acquisitions are to be carried out by a series of different converters.
In seismic prospecting operations notably, the seismic waves coming from the subsoil as a result of an emission by a source of seismic waves are picked up by a multiplicity of receivers and converted to digitized samples by an often considerable number of different acquisition chains provided each with an analog-to-digital converter. A reference time is selected, generally the time of triggering of the seismic source, and one tries to adjust in relation to this time the first significant sample taken by the various converters on each signal picked up by the receivers. If the sampling time of each converter only depends on an internal clock, there is no reason to be synchronized with the exterior event selected as the reference. A certain random delay or jitter follows therefrom, which is generally different from one acquisition chain to the next. The consequence thereof is a lack of synchronization that is very disturbing when signals received and acquired by different acquisition chains have to be combined, as it is generally the case in conventional seismic processing.
Patent FR-2,666,946 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,245,647) filed by the applicant discloses a signal sampling device comprising in combination a sigma-delta type oversampling converter associated with a FIR type digital filter performing decimation of successive series of oversamples and a device for synchronizing the samples delivered with an exterior event such as the time of triggering of a seismic source for example. The solution used in this prior device essentially consists in a memory inserted between the sigma-delta converter and the decimation filter, wherein a series of oversamples is permanently stored. On reception of an exterior reference signal, the device is suited to find in the inserted memory the oversamples formed before reception of this signal and to command transfer thereof in the decimation filter so as to produce the first of the resynchronized samples.
Although this solution is perfectly operational, it has the drawback of requiring complex and expensive electronic components inserted between the delta-sigma modulator and the FIR anti-aliasing filter, i.e. a memory and relatively complex means for managing it.
There are also well-known fractional (less than one unit) delay processing techniques notably described by: Laakso T. I. et al : Splitting the Unit Delay; in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine; 1996, allowing to carry out, by means of calculations, time readjustment of the signal sampling. Certain principles thereof, useful for better understanding of the method, are reminded hereafter.
x[n] denotes a series of digitized samples Sk, Sk+1, Sk+2 . . . Sk+p, etc, taken (FIG. 1) from a measuring signal from an initial time t0 on, with a sampling interval Δt, by an analog-to-digital converter, and y[n] denotes a series of samples S′1, S′2, S′3 . . . S′p+1, etc, taken with the same interval from the same measuring signal but readjusted in time from a reference time TR after t0. The readjustment time difference D is a positive real number.
This number can generally be written as follows: D=int(D)+d, where int(D) corresponds to a whole number of sampling periods and d is a fraction of a period.
We must have: y[n]=x[n−D].
In order to obtain a delay int(D), it is sufficient to delay the initial signal x[n] by a simple translation. The samples of y[n] are those of x[n] whose index is simply delayed (renumbered) by int(D). The sample bearing number k in the first series for example becomes the sample bearing number 1 in the second series, with k.Δt=int(D). For the fractional part of this time difference, the readjusted samples y[n] will be somewhere between the values of x[n] at two successive sampling positions by the local clock and they must best correspond to the effective amplitudes of the sampled signals at these intermediate positions. This delay with readjustment can be obtained by applying a digital filtering F (FIG. 2).
With the notations specific to the z transform, this delay by digital filtering can be expressed as follows:
The frequency response of the ideal filter HID is:
The amplitude and phase responses of the ideal filter for any ω are therefore:
The phase is often represented as a phase lag defined by:
a lag that is here D.
The corresponding impulse response is obtained by inverse Fourier transform:
for any n, hence:
for any n.
This ideal filter cannot be implemented because its impulse response is infinitely long. There are however several methods allowing to approximate to this ideal solution close enough for the readjustment precision to remain compatible with the precision expected in practice. Selection of the method to be used depends on the specific criteria to be observed within the scope of the application.
The filtering method to be implemented must correspond to certain requirements linked with the means used:passband of the signals to be acquired, sampling frequency, technical limitations of the available digital filtering application means (calculation means) and expected precision of the readjusted sample calculation.
Within the scope of an application to seismic data acquisition for example, it is imposed that the passband of the filter is compatible with all the useful signals carrying seismic information and therefore contains for example the [0 Hz, 375 Hz] frequency interval, as well as a 1000 Hz sampling frequency for the seismic signals. Real-time sample readjustment can be imposed if the acquisition units comprise powerful DSP type signal processors for example, as described in the aforementioned patents, which also contributes to facilitating implementation of digital filtering.
The synchronized seismic signal acquisition method according to the invention allows to obtain a series of digitized samples of each signal readjusted in time from at least one reference time on, from a first series of digitized samples of these seismic signals produced from any initial time prior to the reference time, by an acquisition unit, with a definite sampling interval.
It is characterized in that it comprises:
detecting a synchronization signal indicative of this reference time (produced in response to the detection of an event),
measuring the effective time difference (D) between the reference time and the initial time,
determining coefficients of a digital filter suited to compensate for the measured effective time difference, the coefficients being sufficient in number to obtain a fixed time compensation precision, and
applying to the first series of samples the digital compensation filter, which allows to obtain a series of digitized samples readjusted from the reference time.
Calculation of the fractional filter coefficients advantageously comprises direct determination of the ripple margins of the amplitude and of the phase respectively according to the maximum time error (EM) affecting the signal delayed by the fractional filter, which allows the coefficients of this filter to be calculated.
According to a preferred embodiment,
a) the values of the coefficients of N intermediate digital filters suited to compensate for N time difference values spread over the duration of the seismic signal sampling interval by the converter are first determined, then these filtering coefficients are stored,
b) the coefficients of the fractional-delay digital filter suited to compensate for the measured effective time difference are calculated by interpolation (Lagrange type interpolation for example) between the coefficients of the series of filtering coefficients associated with the closest difference values, and
c) the fractional compensation filter is applied to the first series of samples.
The synchronization signal is generated for example upon detection of a seismic signal which can be the first-break wave emitted when a seismic source (impulsive source or vibrator(s)) is triggered, or upon identification (by correlation) with a known signature or upon detection of a certain seismic energy level, in the case where it is used for detecting an earthquake or a nuclear explosion, etc.
The method according to the invention can be used notably in a device intended for synchronized acquisition of seismic signals picked up by seismic receivers in response to an emission of elastic waves in the ground at reference times by one or more seismic sources, these receivers being in contact with the ground and connected to at least one seismic acquisition unit at a distance from a control station. It comprises acquisition, with a definite sampling interval, of at least one series of digitized samples of these seismic signals by an analog-to-digital converter in each acquisition unit from an initial time prior to the reference time, detection by each acquisition unit of a synchronization signal indicative of the reference time, measurement of the effective time difference between the initial time and the reference time (possibly taking account of the time of propagation of each synchronization signal to each acquisition unit), determination of the coefficients of a fractional digital filter suited to compensate for the measured effective time difference, the coefficients being sufficient in number to obtain a fixed compensation precision, and application of the compensation filter to the first series of samples, allowing to form a series of digitized samples readjusted from said reference time.
According to an embodiment applicable to seismic prospecting operations wherein elastic waves are emitted by several vibrators, the method comprises detection, by each acquisition unit, of synchronization signals emitted in response to the emission of waves by each vibrator and measurement of the corresponding effective time differences, determination of the coefficients of the various fractional digital filters suited to compensate for the various measured effective time differences, the coefficients being sufficient in number to obtain a fixed compensation precision, and application of the various compensation filters allowing to form series of digitized samples readjusted from the corresponding reference time.
The digitizing method as defined above is advantageous on several accounts.
It can be implemented from analog-to-digital converters of a standard type, non-modified and therefore readily available, in cooperation with a precise measuring means that is possibly included in the processing unit. Since digital filtering is carried out by software means, the method is flexible and readily adaptable to any type of application.
Narrowing the interval between whose intermediate boundaries interpolation is performed in order to find the exact coefficients of the suitable digital filter, in cases where the coefficients of the digital filters applicable to several well-defined fractions of the sampling interval are precalculated, considerably reduces the calculation time.
The method of readjusting series of samples according to the invention allows to let the (or each) converter "run" permanently and to form the series of samples readjusted from the reference time as soon as delay D is known.
The synchronization signal that can be used is no longer only the triggering signal (TB) but, as we have seen above, the first-break wave, the time of recognition of an acoustic signature or of detection of an energy threshold, etc.
In the case where several vibrators vibrating more or less in synchronism are used, with continuous seismic acquisition, it is necessary, in order to process the signals received (to correlate them with the signals emitted), to delay the reference time selected for readjustment to the beginning of the corresponding vibration, and in this respect the method according to the invention is particularly flexible.
The synchronized seismic signal acquisition device according to the invention allows to obtain, from each seismic signal, at least one series of digitized samples readjusted from at least one reference time on, from a first series of digitized samples taken from this seismic signal, produced from any initial time prior to the reference time.
It comprises at least one signal acquisition unit including at least one analog-to-digital converter producing this first series of samples, and it is characterized in that it comprises, in each acquisition unit, a means for detecting a synchronization signal, a processing unit associated with means for storing series of samples produced by said converter, a metering means for measuring the effective time interval elapsed between the initial time and the reference time, the processing unit being programmed to determine coefficients of a digital filter suited to compensate for the measured effective time difference (consisting of a whole part and of a fractional part) and to apply, to the first series of samples, the digital fractional compensation filter.
The device is advantageously used in a seismic signal acquisition system where each acquisition unit comprises means allowing data exchange, by means of a transmission channel, with a distant station provided with means for emitting the synchronization signal in response to detection of an event, and a control system including the processing unit, suited to process the seismic data before they are transmitted to the central station. The processing unit is then programmed to determine coefficients of a fractional digital filter suited to compensate for the effective time difference measured by the metering means, by taking account of the time of propagation of the synchronization signal on the transmission channel connecting each acquisition unit to the central station.
According to a preferred embodiment, the device comprises means for storing coefficients of N intermediate digital filters suited to compensate for N time difference values spread over the duration of the seismic signal sampling interval by the converter, and the processing unit is suited to calculate the coefficients of the digital filter suited to compensate for the measured effective time difference, by interpolation between the series of filtering coefficients associated with the closest difference values, and to apply the compensation filter to the first series of samples.
According to an embodiment suited for seismic prospecting operations using vibrators as emission means, the device comprises metering means, in each acquisition unit, for detecting synchronization signals emitted in response to the emission of waves by each vibrator, and for measuring each effective time difference, the processing unit comprising means for determining the coefficients of the various fractional digital filters suited to compensate for the various measured effective time differences, and means for applying the various compensation filters allowing to form series of digitized samples readjusted from said reference time.
Other features of the method and of the device according to the invention will be clear from reading the description hereafter of a non limitative realisation example, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates readjustment of a series of samples,
FIG. 2 illustrates the application of digital filtering F allowing readjustment of samples,
FIG. 3 illustrates the principle of use of intermediate filters allowing to accelerate calculation of the digital filters,
FIG. 4 diagrammatically shows a seismic data acquisition and transmission system,
FIG. 5 diagrammatically shows the organization of a local acquisition box,
FIG. 6 is a chart showing the residual difference between the sampled initial signal and the signal defined by the recalculated samples, according to the number of coefficients of the filter and to the value of the delay expressed as a fraction of the sampling interval, and
FIG. 7 is a chart showing the precision obtained according to the number of precalculated intermediate results and to the order of the interpolation polynomial.
An important point of the method is that it has been possible to establish that, if ΔD and a are respectively the ripple margins within the passband concerning the phase and the amplitude respectively, the maximum time error EM point by point between the delayed signal calculated by the filter and the ideal delayed signal (for which EM=0) can be expressed by the relation:
provided that the signal is in the frequency band below the filter cutoff frequency.
Knowing this relation between the maximum error and the filtering characteristics, a known FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter design method is selected, that gives the coefficients of the appropriate filter.
When an analog-to-digital converter running on 24 bits, including a sign bit, is used for example, one can impose that the error is at most equal to one quantification interval, i.e. 2−23≈10−7.
For a 10−7 error, a has to be of the order of 10−7, which requires a ripple margin |H| of the filtering function such that: 1−a≦|H|≦1+a. Since a is very small, it can be easily shown that this inequality is equivalent to: −10−6≦|H|dB≦10−6. The same relation (1) shows that |ΔD| must also be of the order of 10−7.
With the specifications given above, suitable for seismic prospecting applications:
cutoff frequency characterized by two values, 375 Hz and 420 Hz,
oscillations in the [0, 375 Hz] frequency band below 0.05 dB,
oscillations in the [0, 420 Hz] frequency band below 0.2 dB,
phase cutoff frequency of 375 Hz,
oscillations in the [0, 375 Hz] frequency band below a delay corresponding to a time delay of 4 μs, the phase specification corresponding to 4 μs for a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz (therefore a time period Te=10−3 s=1 ms) gives a fractional delay:
These amplitude and phase constraints are thus greatly fulfilled if an error below 10−7 is imposed.
The value of the filter coefficients then has to be determined, considering the imposed limitations, by selecting, as mentioned above, a method from the filter design methods known to specialists. The Lagrange interpolation method can be used, which provides very good frequency response and very flat amplitude response for the low frequencies, but the resulting filter has a very narrow passband that does not vary much with the order of the filter. There are also well-known time windowing methods (Kaiser window, Dolph-Tchebichev window, Blackman window, Hamming window, etc). Another known method, referred to as least-squares method, essentially consists in minimizing the frequency error between the ideal filter and the FIR filter used. The computing programmes required for calculation of the filtering coefficients according to these various methods are most often available from known signal processing software libraries such as Matlab™ for example.
For each particular delay value, a resampling allowing approximation with a precision of the order of 10−7 requires calculation of a filter defined by several ten filtering coefficients. 60 are for example required with the generalized least-squares method to reach a precision of this order as shown in the table of FIG. 6.
The time required fo such a calculation depends of course on the available computing means or resources. There are cases where, because of the conditions imposed: relatively wide passband of the signals to be acquired and/or performance of the available computing means, the desired readjustment of the sampled signals to a reference time cannot be performed in real time.
A solution consists in this case in precalculating the filtering coefficients for well-defined fractions of the period or sampling interval Δt. Interval Δt being subdivided by N points I1, I2, . . . Ik, IN (FIG. 3) into N+1 parts (N being 10 for example), N precalculated filters F1 to FN are thus defined. The various series of coefficients are then stored in memories of the computing unit, before the acquisition operations start. During operation, the time subinterval (between Ik and Ik+1 in the figure) in which the fractional time difference d between the initial sampling time and the reference time lies is determined, and interpolation is performed between the stored corresponding series of coefficients so as to calculate the coefficient of the required readjustment filter. The closer approximation to fractional delay d allowed by these previous calculations considerably reduces the time required for calculation of the appropriate digital filter. A precision of the order of 10−7 can for example be reached with 10 series of precalculated intermediate coefficients for an interpolation of the 5th order and with 20 series of intermediate coefficients for an interpolation of the 4th order, as shown in the table of FIG. 7.
The method described can be implemented in a seismic acquisition system as described in the aforementioned patents, notably in patents FR-A-2,720,518; EP-A-594,477 or in patent application FR-97/09,547, suited to acquire the signals picked up by seismic receivers R (FIG. 4) distributed over a zone to be explored, according to a layout suited for the 2D or 3D type prospection to be performed, these receivers R picking up the seismic waves reflected by underground discontinuities, and to transmit them to a distant station CS such as a central control and recording station where all the seismic signals collected are eventually centralized, either directly or by means of intermediate stations LS fulfilling more or less complex functions:concentration, organization and sequencing of the exchanges between acquisition units A and central station CS.
Source S can be impulsive (an explosive charge for example, or an air gun) or consist of one or more vibrators. This source can be coupled with the formations of the zone to be explored and connected by radio link or control cable to central station CS or, in the case of coastal zone exploration, possibly towed, while immersed, by a shooting boat connected to central station CS by radio link.
Each acquisition box is suited (FIG. 5) for acquisition of a number k (k≧1)) of seismic receivers R1, R2, . . . Rk, providing each a seismic "trace". It therefore comprises for example k acquisition chains CA1, to CAk receiving respectively the k signals and comprising each, for example, a low-pass filter F11, F12, . . . Fk, a preamplifier PA1, PA2, . . . PAk, a high-pass filter F21, F22, . . . F2k, and an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter AD1, AD2, . . . ADk for converting the amplified and filtered analog signals to 24-bit numerical words for example. The converters are for example oversampling sigma-delta type converters. All the acquisition chains are connected to a microprocessor 2 processing 16 to 32-bit numerical words for example, programmed to manage acquisition and exchanges with the distant station (not shown). A working memory M1 and a memory Mp for the programmes are associated with microprocessor 2. Processor 2 is connected to an emission-reception unit 3 suited to the transmission channel used for communication with the distant station. If it is a Hertzian channel, unit 3 comprises a radio transmitter RE and a radio receiver RR that communicate with an antenna 4. An interface unit 5 described in patent FR-A-2,608,780 mentioned above also allows infrared communication with an initialization box 6 by means of which an operator can possibly transmit to management processor 2 addressing and selection instructions concerning the working parameters of the acquisition chains.
Each acquisition box Ai also preferably comprises a processor 7 specialized in signal processing, such as for example a DSP 96002 type floating point 32-bit processor, that is associated with a DMA type device for accelerating data block transfers between the two processors 2 and 7. A working memory M3 is associated with the latter processor. Each acquisition box also comprises a self-contained power supply unit 8.
The function of general processor 2 is to perform decoding of the orders transmitted by the distant station and to manage acquisition of the signals of receivers R1 to Rk by the various acquisition chains, transmissions in connection with transmission unit 3, memory M1 for temporary data storage, inputs/outputs, interrupts between programmes, exchanges with DSP computing processor 7, etc.
DSP computing processor 7 is particularly well-suited for high-speed operations such as format conversions, complex number multiplications, FFT type Fourier transforms, correlations between received signals and emitted signals, digital filtering, successive shot stacking with suppression of disturbance noises of non-seismic nature, combination of the signals delivered by multi-axis seismic receivers such as three-axis geophones for example, etc. Preprocessing performed locally prior to transmission contributes to appreciably reducing the number of tasks set to the distant station.
Each acquisition box can also comprise a flash-type high-capacity storage memory 9 for example, capable of absorbing a certain data volume that can be transmitted later to the central station.
Processing unit (2, 7) in each acquisition unit preferably comprises means for storing (in working memory M3 for example) series of coefficients defining a certain number of intermediate precalculated filters F1, to FN and metering means C for determining precisely the time interval D=int(D)+d between the time when sampling of the signals produced by the seismic receivers has started by order of the local clock and the precise time of arrival of the reference signal. This time interval takes account of the time of emission of the signal by the seismic source (TB) and also of the effective time of propagation of this signal to the acquisition unit concerned, through the transmission channel (cable or radio link) connecting it to central station CS, which may vary on account of its position in the field.
This time interval D being measured, signal processor 7 is programmed to a) renumber the samples taken before the reference time according to the value of int(D), as described above, b) calculate the coefficients of the fractional digital filter suited to compensate for the measured difference, and c) apply the suitable delay filter.
The coefficients of the suitable digital filter are preferably calculated as mentioned above by interpolation between the series of coefficients of the N precalculated filters F1 to FN that bound the fraction d of time interval D, stored in memories M of processing unit 2, 7.
The extremely precise readjustment that is performed between the signal emitted by the or each seismic source allows to improve the processing results such as "trace" stacking or correlations that are performed by each acquisition device in the field prior to repatriation of the seismic data to the central station.
The method is particularly advantageous in cases where, for example, seismic operations are carried out with vibrators working simultaneously or with a time lag in relation to one another. Acquisition of the seismic signals is then performed continuously. The correlation that is conventionally carried out between each vibrational signal and the acquired signals first requires resynchronization thereof so as to take account of the time lags in relation to the various TB. This operation is performed without any difficulty considering the software means selected to do this.
When using for example four sets of sweep-frequency vibrators with a sweep time of 16 s, an acquisition window or listening period of 6 s and a displacement time interval of 30 s, a mean slip time of (16+6+30)/4=13 s is determined. The signals intended to be correlated must first be readjusted by using the beginning of each period of time equal to this slip time as the reference. The processing unit of each acquisition device is readily adaptable in order to carry out the desired adjustments with the signals of the various vibrators.

AdvanFort Company say it already has a quality management system in place that exceeds the increasingly stiff requirements.
"When it comes to counter-piracy operations, a lot of our competitors—faced with these new challenges—still seem to require others' faith in their words," said Captain William H. Watson, AdvanFort president. "At AdvanFort, what count are deeds — and I am very happy to report that our company welcomes the increasing scrutiny by some of the most important European Union countries of the offerings of private maritime security companies (PMSCs)."
German legislation about to be passed is both detailed and will surpass most standards and regulations already governing the market, observers say. Belgium and Cyprus, too, now employ highly pro-active systems to ensure that state-of-the-art standards are in place.
AdvanFort's continuing dedication to quality management means it is also going through International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001certification (and looking forward to ISO 2800-7) while currently seeking similar approval by the Security Association for the Maritime Industry (SAMI).
Captain Watson points out that the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) has just approved AdvanFort's counter-piracy operations for its ship registry. In addition, this month a number of AdvanFort vessel security officers are participating in a first-ever counter-piracy training program for corporations working in the merchant marine environment.

Associated Press
MIAMI — If LeBron James played for the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich might have a message for him.
It's the same one he's occasionally delivered to Tim Duncan.
Selfless play is great. Moving the ball to open teammates is usually the right idea. That belief has carried the Spurs to four NBA titles.
Sometimes, though, it's best if the superstar takes on more himself.
"I've talked to players before about being more aggressive," Popovich said Friday, after the Spurs practiced following their 92-88 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 1.
"Opportunities might be there that they didn't take advantage of. That happens with Timmy now and then. He's so unselfish, if he shoots three jumpers in a row, he feels like he shouldn't shoot more sometimes, because he wants the ball to move and he wants to involve everybody. I think unselfish players think like that. Once in a while I've got to tell him, no, I don't care if you get 20 of those shots, you have to take them."
Maybe James will in Game 2.
"We'll see what type of game plan I come out with on Sunday," he said. "It will be dumb of me to reveal it today."
James had 18 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in Game 1, but, as can be the case with the game's greatest talent, there was a feeling he could have done more. And the Heat needed it.
About the time the game was slipping away from the Heat midway through the fourth quarter, the league MVP had attempted fewer shots than Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and only three more than Mario Chalmers. Bosh took more shots in the final period (5) than James (4).
The more they missed — as Wade and Bosh did six times in seven attempts over the final 12 minutes — the louder the cries for James to stop giving them the ball and keep it for himself.
Yet that just doesn't seem natural for him.
"I've got this far with them, I'm not going to just abandon what I've been doing all year to help us get to this point," James said. "So I know those guys will be ready to shoot again once they're open."
The Spurs appeared to retain at least part of the schemes they used against James in 2007, when they swept his Cleveland Cavaliers for their most recent title. A help defender was ready to slide over and make James give up the ball or shoot a jumper if he had beaten his man, rather than have a lane to the basket.
"We obviously understand that he's extended his range and he's a much different player than he was then. We're trying to make it as difficult as possible," Duncan said.
"We're not going to hold him to 18 every game. Every game we know he's going to come out real aggressive, especially this coming game, and be aggressive to score, but we're going to try to make it as difficult as possible, show as many bodies as possible and make his plays so he doesn't rack up on the ones going right to the basket and try to get the easy stuff."
Some of the few easy looks the Heat got in their seven-game series against Indiana in the Eastern Conference finals came when James went into the post. But even if he does that now, the strategy only pays off if his shooters make open looks when he's double-teamed.
So it will be up to James to determine what he thinks will work.
"He'll do whatever it takes," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He's as cerebral a player as there is in this league. He'll read the game as necessary. I wouldn't bet against our open shooters. So we just need to make sure we're getting the shots that we want to."

- Familiarize yourself with this website. It is informative, thorough, and instructional. Answers to your questions are covered here.
- Study Away programs and courses: Liberal Arts only, no business or marketing programs or courses are accepted for Williams credit. There are no exceptions.
- Attend one of the two "General Information Sessions" held in the Fall. Meetings are announced in the Campus Daily Messages, WSO announcements, and notices are sent to sophomore email. Attendance at ONE of these meetings is MANDATORY.
- Stop by the International Education and Study Away Office and read and research the program literature provided. The evaluations from students who have studied away in years previous to those evaluations that are available on this website are also available for you to read. This is a critical step when choosing where you want to study.
- Talk with students who have studied abroad in the country or program in which you are interested. A list of students who have recently returned from abroad.
- Once you have an idea of where you wish to go, meet with the Director of International Education and Study Away by January 1 to discuss your plans. Walk-in hours are posted on the website or call for an appointment if these hours are not convenient for you.
- Submit the Study Away Questionnaire prior to you meeting with the Director.
- If a program is not listed in PeopleSoft, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of the program and country. It is possible that it is on our inactive list.
- If the program is not approved and you wish to study there, complete a "New Program Approval" form. When you have decided on a program or programs, complete the Study Away Petition on PeopleSoft.
- Download your selected program application(s) or fill them out online. Check deadlines carefully and submit all materials well before the deadline.
- Discuss your plans with your study abroad advisor, usually the Chair, of your major department. He/she can approve your plan for credit in the major on PeopleSoft at anytime before or after the March 1st deadline.
- Submit a Study Away Petition in PeopleSoft along with your Study Away Essay (official request to Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) to study away in your junior year) by the March 1 deadline (instructions)
- The petition must be submitted by the March 1 deadline if you wish to study away in the FALL, FULL YEAR, OR SPRING of the following year.
- NO study away petitions will be accepted after the deadline.
- Do your research! You may apply to more than one program simultaneously, however, you must list your first choice initially on your petition.
- NOTE: You will need to submit two petitions only if you plan to study away for a full year on two different programs, one for each semester. All instructions apply to both petitions submitted.
- You must confirm your intent to study on the program you have been accepted to via email to email@example.com and include the name of the program, country, and exact dates of the program.
- The program designated on the study away petition may be changed only once after submission. (Meet with the Director of International Education and Study Away to discuss new plans. Your petition will be amended at the time you confirm your acceptance with the International Education and Study Away Office. Your email must include new program, dates of program, new intended courses, and new Study Away essay.)
- Complete the mandatory Pre-Departure Webinar and quiz held in the spring semester if you plan to study away for the upcoming fall semester or full year away. Complete the mandatory Pre-Departure Webinar and quiz held in the fall if you plan to study away in the spring semester.
- Students are responsible for requesting their transcripts to be sent to the International Education and Study Away office once they complete their program. The program transcript of grades will not be processed for Williams credit until the program evaluation is received.
Applying to Study Away Programs
- Applications can be downloaded or you may apply directly online.
- Most applications require one or more of the following:
- Essay. Programs usually wish to assess your motivations for study abroad and will ask for a short essay. This also serves as an example of your writing ability.
- Letters of recommendation. These should be written by professors who know you and your academic abilities. Ask a faculty member who knows your work best, even if the professor is outside your major. Be sure to give the form to the professor at least 10 days before you wish it to be submitted. The recommendation can be mailed directly to the program or university, or you can ask for it in a signed and sealed envelope to enclose with your application. Always request to have recommendations from your professors completed on a specific date so there can be no confusion.
- Director's Approval. Many programs require the signature and assurance from the Director that you are in good academic standing and will receive transfer credit upon successful completion of the program. The Approval From needs to be downloaded and printed from your online application for the Director to sign, and my be simply dropped off in the International Education and Study Away Office; you need not make an appointment to have this form signed. However, the Director will not sign this form if you have not met with her about your study away plans. In this case, you may schedule a meeting with her and bring the form with you. Since hundreds of students submit applications to study abroad in a year, it is imperative that you submit your approval forms to the Director several weeks before the deadline. Do not wait until a few days or even a week before the application is due. It is to your advantage to submit the application to the program as early as possible. Many programs fill their quotas early and acceptance is on a rolling basis.
- Transcripts. You must order an official copy of your transcript(s) from the Registrar's Office. You may have your transcript sent directly to the program or you can pick it up and enclose it with your application. Transcript requests require a signature so e-mail is not acceptable. Allow a few days for the processing of your transcript request.
- Medical Report. This form can be completed at the Health Center. Be sure to discuss with the folks at the Health Center any physical or medical/psychological problems which might interfere with your ability to take full advantage of your foreign study experience.
- Application Deadlines: The deadlines vary from program to program. Basically deadlines for fall or full-year programs are from December l to mid-April; for spring programs from October l to mid-November. Be sure to check deadline dates carefully. Many programs have rolling admissions rather than a specific deadline, so the general rule is: submit your application as soon as you know which program(s) you want to apply to. You must assume responsibility for checking on the application deadline and on the status of your completed application.
Inquiries regarding Study Away at Williams should be directed to email@example.com.

Key points from White Paper
A look at some of the key points to emerge from the SNP's White Paper.
A look at some of the key points to emerge from the SNP's White Paper.
Deputy Minister Nicola Sturgeon joined Alex Salmond on stage to launch the SNP's White Paper.
She envisages 24th March 2016 as the date, should Scotland vote yes, for the country to become an independent country.
Sturgeon's particular focus within this white paper addresses the topics of women and child, the bedroom tax and welfare reform, and pensions.
The SNP has set out shop with a proposal that Scotland become independent, it intends to provide free child care for all pre-school children.
This is a policy, they say, that is dual purpose; good for the youngest children and their parents.
It would also mean that by supporting more women to go into the workplace, it would generate more tax revenues.
