Oct. 11, 1966 SACHIQ TAKE] ETAL 3,278,796
MAGNETICALLY GONTROLLABLE PLASMA FLAME GENERATOR Filed June 10, 1965 United States Patent 3,278,796 MAGNETICALLY CONTROLLABLE PLASMA FLAME GENERATOR Sachio Takei, Hachioji-shi, and Manabu Yamamoto, Odawara-shi, Japan, assignors to Kahushiki Kaisha Hitachi Seisakusho, Tokyo-to, Japan, a joint-stock company of Japan Filed June 10, 1963, Ser. No. 286,605 2 Claims. (Cl. 315-111) This invention relates to a new and original technique providing a controllable plasma flame generator.
In general, since a plasma flame generator requires a high-power discharge of an electric current of a number of tens of amperes or more and, in terms of electric power, of a number of kilo-volt-amperes or more, it is diflicult to maintain its discharge in a stable state over a long period of time or to achieve fine adjustments of conditions such as the plasma flame length and temperature.
When a plasma flame of such a generator in operation is examined by means of high-speed photography, it is observed that the length and thickness of the ejected flame fluctuate with time, and it can be readily confirmed that, in accordance with these fluctuations, the intensity of light emitted from the flame also fluctuates. These fluctuations are, in all cases, of the order of approximately 10 percent or less. Accordingly, depending on the application, such fluctuations do not present a problem. However, in cases wherein the temperature and intensity of emitted light of the plasma flame is required to be stable with respect to time, as in the case of application of the flame as a light source for scientific instruments, or in cases such as that of its application as the working fluid in a supersonic wind tunnel, wherein stability of the velocity of the gas flow is required, there is a great probability of the above-said fluctuations becoming a problem because the stability of the plasma flame, in the operation of these instruments and apparatuses, becomes a determinating factor influencing their performance.
Among the factors adversely affecting the stability of a plasma flame, the following three factors are the most important.
(1) Migration of electrode foot points of the arc.
(2) Fluctuation of current.
(3) Fluctuation of gas flow rate.
Herein the electrode foot points of the arc designate the points where the arc connects to the electrodes (anode and cathode). That is, the arc current is supplied through these foot points.
It is an object of the present invention to prevent the occurrence of the above-stated migration of electrode foot points of the arc.
More specifically, the present invention contemplates providing a controllable plasma flame generator by a new and original technique which has been discovered and developed as a result of intensive experimental research.
The nature, principles, and details of the invention will be best understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, which is a perspective view, partly in vertical section and partly in diagrammatical form, showing a preferred embodiment of the plasma flame generator according to the invention.
Referring to the drawing, the embodiment shown therein comprises, essentially, a thoriated tungsten cathode 2, a water-cooled copper anode 1 which has a plasma flame ejection nozzle 3 formed centrally therein, and means, to be described in greater detail hereinafter, to apply a magnetic field 4 across the said nozzle 3.
Application of a discharge voltage to the anode 1 and cathode 2 causes a discharge current 5 to flow between 3,278,796 Patented Oct. 11, 1966 the tip of cathode 2 as the cathode foot point of the arc and one point on the anode 1 as the anode foot point. A gas'flow 7 is supplied to flow upwardly past the sides of the cathode 2, past the discharge are, and through the nozzle 3, whereby a plasma flame 8 is ejected upwardly from the exit of nozzle 3.
The electromagnetic force created by the mutual interaction of the aforesaid magnetic field 4 and the discharge current 5 causes the arc anode foot 6, which, otherwise, would readily migrate, to be held constantly at a definite, fixed point. That is, any tendency of the arc anode foot 6 to advance from the said point toward the outside, that is, toward the exit of the nozzle 3, is pre- Vented by the resulting increase in the electromagnetic force imparted to the discharge arc; and any tendency of the anode foot 6 to retract inwardly from the said point is prevented by the sweeping action of the gas flow 7. In this manner, it is possible to fix the position of the electrode foot point. In this case,'it has also been found through experiments conducted by the present inventors that the length and emitted light intensity of the ejected plasma flame 8 readily vary in accordance with the in tensity of the magnetic field 4. The reason for this is that one portion of the leakage flux intersects the discharge current 5 and has a tendency to press this discharge current against one side of the inner Wall surface of the nozzle 3, and the degree of this tendency varies in accordance with the intensity of the magnetic field.
The present invention, in its principal aspect, makes possible control of the ejected plasma flame through utilization of the above-described characteristic.
The embodiment shown in the drawing is that of a plasma flame generator in which the plasma flame is so controlled as to cause its emitted light intensity to be constant. The afore-mentioned magnetic field 4 is created by magnetic field coils 11 and 12 provided with suitably adapted and disposed cores N and S. These magnetic field coils 11 and 12 are controlled by current supplied by a control circuit consisting of a photoelectric transducer 9 for measuring the emitted light intensity of the plasma flame 8 and an amplifier 10 for converting the output of the said photoelectric transducer 9 to the desired current value.
By effecting negative feedback of the fluctuation of the emitted light intensity of the plasma flame to the controlling magnetic field 4 by means of the apparatus arrangement described above, it is possible to reduce the fluctuation of the emitted light intensity. Such reduction of fluctuation is not limited merely to the emitted light intensity, it being possible, by effecting negative feedback of other fluctuations such as those of ripples in the power source and the gas flow rate, to cause such fluctuations to be cancelled.
Since a magnetic field of extremely low intensity suffices for control, the ejected plasma flame is not caused to assume an extremely non-symmetric configuration. If the symmetry of this configuration is particularly important, the symmetry of the configuration of the ejected flame can be maintained by causing the position of the electrode foot point of the arc to vary in a regulated manner by means of a periodically varying magnetic field, such as an alternating magnetic field or a rotating magnetic field.
For these problems and the problem of the magnetic field intensity, the optimum point must be suitably determined in accordance with the operational conditions and use of the plasma jet.
Although the foregoing description has been presented with respect to the case of automatic control by feeding back the emitted light intensity, it is also possible to control the state of generation of the plasma flame by manual control or in accordance to a predetermined control program. It is a unique advantage of the present invention that, in all cases, fine adjustment is possible with an extremely low power. Accordingly, the present invention is particularly effective as means for control of the state of generation of the plasma flame or for stabilization thereof.
It is to be observed, furthermore, that the direct-ion of the magnetic field need not always be such as to cross perpendicularly relative to the discharge current direction. It will be apparent that the essential requirement is that the construction of the generator be such as to cause the two directions to cross each other.
While the invention has been described with a particular embodiment, it will be understood, of course, that modifications, changes and the like may be made therein without departing from its scope.
What is claimed is:
1. A controllable plasma flame generator which comprises: a rod-shaped first electrode; a second electrode surrounding said first electrode and having a nozzle; means for creating an arc discharge between the said two electrodes; means for introducing a gas current through the discharge path of this are so that it may be jetted out of the said nozzle; means for impressing on the arc discharge path between said two electrodes a magnetic field which intersects therewith; and means for automatically varying the strength of the said magnetic field in response to variations in intensity of luminance of the jet plasma flame; whereby the conditions of are dis-' charge can be controlled optionally and in a stable manner.
2. A controllable plasma flame generator which comprises: a rod-shaped first electrode; a second electrode surrounding said first electrode and having a nozzle; means for creating an arc discharge between the said two electrodes; means for introducing a gas current through the discharge path of this are so that it may be jetted out of the said nozzle; means for impressing on the arc discharge path between the said two electrodes a periodically varying magnetic field which intersects therewith; and means for automatically varying the strength of the said magnetic field in response to variations in intensity of luminance of the jet plasma flame; whereby the conditions of arc discharge can be controlled optionally and in a stable manner.

Reviews of Black Narcissus 1947
I was quite surprised and blown away by this one. Indeed the colors are strong and vibrant with this one but the camera movement and placement are just as important and worth noting. Black Narcissus is the type of film where one can tell from the get go that a lot of thought was put into this and the close attention to detail cannot be ignored.
The Himalayas backdrop serves as a wonderment as well where it almost becomes a…
I never heard of this film before I watched it and knew very little about it. It is fantastic. The plot sounds pretty low key, a group of British nuns go from Calcutta to set up a mission in the Indian Himalayas. One has a crisis of faith, another falls for the only British man in the area.
It certainly doesn't look like a film made in 1947 on a lot in England. The sets are lush, the backdrops beautiful…
There is Technicolor, and then there is TECHNICOLOR!!! And beyond that, there is TECHNICOLOR!!! in the hands of Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, and Jack Cardiff. Especially if it's been restored and presented by Criterion.
The lurid lushness of over-saturated color has never been as stunningly realized as in Black Narcissus. Between A Matter of Life and Death (1946), Black Narcissus (1947), and The Red Shoes (1948), Cardiff, Powell, and Pressburger created three of the most amazing samples of Technicolor on…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Phew, between this and Vertigo the association between nuns and falling from a height is strong...
Cinematographer Jack Cardiff and art director Alfred Junge forge an awe-inspiring partnership to create scene after scene of stirring imagery and often breathtaking detail. Walter Percy Day's matte paintings for the Himalayan setting are majestic, adding a heavily stylized simulation of depth to a movie full of emotionally evocative patterns of colors and shadow. As the characters are framed within ornate sets, or under rolling banks of awesome clouds, or within the obscuring darknesses of uncertainty and doubt, nearly every…
A ravishingly shot, beautifully told tale of atmosphere and sexual repression. Only the masterful Powell & Pressburger could make the appearance of a red dress as shocking as anything in Hitchcock's oeuvre. 9.5/10
Yeah I really have no idea why I even chose to watch this in the first place. I was just counting the seconds until it finished. Just a whole load of screaming about very very little.
Shocking it was all made in England most of the characters very unlikable but the atmosphere and Deborah Kerr are excellent
Can't believe this was 1947....incredibly modern. Gorgeous film. Feast for the eyes.
Just like they managed with their movie The Red Shoes, directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger make Black Narcissus look ahead of its time, and not solely through the use of technicolour. Then they introduce a bunch of interesting things: a group of nuns that are send to a remote and almost uninhabitable location to start a convent, a holy man praying day and night at the site without ever seeming to move an inch, a rich general's son who…

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign spent at least $159,482 producing "The Road We've Traveled," the Davis Guggenheim-directed "documentary" of Obama's first term in office, Federal Election Commission filings show.
In April the campaign made two payments totaling $97,165 to "2012 Documentary Partners, LLC," a Venice, California-based company whose legal work his handled by the entertainment law firm Donaldson and Callif. (Partner Michael C. Donaldson advertises in his bio that he has worked with Guggenheim.)
The company's place of business is the same as another company registered in Guggenheim's name. The campaign also paid $62,397 to the company in March, FEC records show.
The Obama campaign premiered the entirely positive "documentary" on March 15, and the 17-minute video is screened before most Obama campaign events. It has racked up nearly 2.2 million views on YouTube.

Ok, this was just clickbait, otherwise you would have never clicked on this.
As you maybe know I live in
I don't know what the hell this is but lmao
Kinda dope tho
Did Q improve or nah?
Just want to know if there is anybody on Rg that have been shot with a gun. You've got pierced by bullets before, anyone. Even if is someone u know that was on RG that got shot even if the person is dead
yes I was shot once on the forearm
it was gross
@SDVG I said shot with a gun not a dick
Maybe @301cuzzo lawl.
Never shot, I got maced one time by guys who robbed me outside a Subway at 2AM when I was about twenty, and when I was in high school I worked at a convenience store and got held up at gunpoint (sawed-off shotgun) but I just gave them the money.
my dad lol
@Skizza306 that's real hood shit happening there
^ The funny thing is these weren't even "hood" places really. They were both I guess "lower class" neighborhoods, but nowhere I would consider generally unsafe or "hood" @zealsham
@falseheroko he made it alive. My dad was also shot. He got shot in the eye nd on the head. But he made it alive somehow.
i once got shot
Damn @Skizza306 , yo I can't believe that happened to you…man I'm being real with you if somebody puts a SAWED-OFF in my face I would nearly piss myself from fright.
No, but I've been stabbed before. Guns are really rare in the UK.
No, But my dad was teaching me how to ride a bike when he tripped on the poor streets of Chicago and he twisted my ankle.

An ICv2 Release. Graphic novels have been lagging comics in recent years, but could graphic novels be the key to a mass audience?
Through the mid-00s, graphic novels seemed to be the key to a larger, more diverse audience for comics, with manga, literary comics, non-fiction and media tie-ins all contributing to rapidly growing sales in both the book and comic channels and bigger sections in libraries. A format most people are familiar with (complete stories in a single book volume) seems tailor-made for a mass audience.
But graphic novels in print have had a rough go the last few years, with the closing of Borders, the weakening of other bookstores, austerity for libraries, and the decline of manga all working together to challenge the segment. And to a much greater degree than for periodical comics, the digital market has been fragmented, with content split among multiple platforms and formats.
This year, in an amazing turnaround, sales of graphic novels in bookstores have been growing again, despite fewer doors and declining same store sales over-all (see, for example, "Book Chain Makes Money"). Those increases join stronger graphic novel sales in comic stores, where sales were up over 9% through mid-year.
How is this growth happening, and what does it teach us about the opportunities for print graphic novels in an environment where the overall book business seems to be moving digital (albeit at a slower rate than it was)?
And how can digital graphic novels reach the big spectrum of potential audiences for the wide variety of content they offer?
We bring together an expert group to discuss these huge opportunities at the ICv2 Conference at New York Comic Con in the panel on "Graphic Novels—Growing in a Digital World:"

I started off with Flash/Actionscript development, and have since moved more toward LAMP development. I'm currently working as a senior level developer at a small company. My education, though primarily focused on game design and development, has been a self-driven effort toward making the end-user experience a pleasant one.
I currently use PHP/MySQL, HTML/CSS/XML, and Javascript (with plenty of jQuery) for web development, while I use C++/#, Python, and Flash/AS3 for native application development.
I love to learn, and strive to improve my existing skills and comprehension. The world of technology is a very big place, and it's good to be a part of a community.

Yes, I did use some post processing. I used the HDR in the new Canon Digital Photo Professional as well as some sharpening to add contrast. I like the new addition to PP it adds a very natural colour enhancement. Thanks, Tony

You're going to like this: dreamy beaches, surreal landscapes, top-notch hotels, delicious cuisine and a wealth of cultural experiences.
Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles offer a unique combination of nature, culture and pleasure.
1. Hiking Through the Cirque de Mafate (Reunion)
Perhaps the finest set of multiday hikes anywhere in the Indian Ocean, Cirque de Mafate feels like you're traversing the end of the earth.
Wild and remote, watched over by fortress-like ridges and riven with deep valleys, this is an extraordinary experience.
A four-day hike through the Haut Mafate can be combined with the four-day, even-more-secluded Bas Mafate.
Best of all, these hikes take you through quiet mountain hamlets where you'll find gîtes (self-catering accommodation) where the welcome is warm and genuine.
2. Denis (Seychelles)
Welcome to paradise. It may be a much-abused cliché but the coral island of Denis comes as close to living up to this claim as anywhere on the planet.
This is a place where warm tropical waters lap quietly upon a beach of white sand, while the lagoon off shore dazzles in magical shades of blue.
The island's luxury lodge combines romance with seclusion to perfectly capture the idyll of barefoot luxury (no TV, no mobile phones), and you'll share the island with giant tortoises and gorgeous bird species.
3. Black River Gorges & Chamarel (Mauritius)
Some of the most dramatic scenery on Mauritius is found in the southwest.
The thick forests of Black River Gorges National Park shelter fantastic and endangered birdlife that has been saved from the fate of the dodo, quite apart from the exceptional views from along the myriad hiking trails.
After a morning's hiking, lunch just has to be in Chamarel, home to a series of superb restaurants and a well-regarded rum distillery nestled in the hills.
4. Diving & Dolphins (Mauritius)
Some of the Indian Ocean's best dives are found off the west coast of Mauritius.
The architecture of the underwater rock formations and the substantial schools of fish make the waters off Flic en Flac in particular a world-class dive destination.
The best sites are the walls and drop-offs on the edge of the turquoise lagoon and La Cathédrale, near Flic en Flac is simply marvellous. A little to the south, off Tamarin, swim with pods of dolphins out in the open water.
5. The Mighty Volcano (Réunion)
Piton de la Fournaise is Reunion's crowning glory.
Seen from the viewpoint at Pas de Bellecombe, le volcan (as it's known to locals) broods black and beautiful, its shapely form towering over the island.
But even though this is an active volcano, it's still possible to climb up to the crater rim and stare down into the abyss - one seriously memorable sight. Hiking and horse trails lead to the summit, while a scenic helicopter flight offers the ultimate birds-eye view down into the caldera.

On Douglas County prosecutor's comments lead court to vacate sentence
kimk 3 years, 5 months ago
Why is that Amy McGowan has not yet been fired? It is apparent that Amy has no respect for the law. If I was Charles Branson I would be embarrasses to have someone like Ms. McGowan as my employee. Come on Mr. Branson put on your Big Girl panties and do what needs to be done.
rtwngr 3 years, 5 months ago
I once heard a law professor state, "He who lies best, wins."
Bob Forer 3 years, 5 months ago
Apparently, Ms. McGowan did not learn from her past mistakes. She used the "truth" argument twice, and while the Court scolded her, they did not reverse the convictions. Looks like the third time around, the appellate court had had enough of her antics, and voted to reverse.
From this reader's perspective, Ms. McGowan is intellectually dishonest. Despite two separate warnings, she continued to use the same argument in a subsequent jury trial. There are a lot of dirty prosecutors out there. Apparently, there is one on Charles Branson's staff.
Ian_Cummings 3 years, 5 months ago
The appeals came years after the trials where the prosecutor used that language. It's not so much that the prosecutor persisted despite warnings, but that the appeals came in succession long after she made those statements. Ian LJW
Liberty275 3 years, 5 months ago
Can the judge presiding when the statements are made strike any statements that he finds violates due process? Do they have to wait for the defense to say "objection".
I won't make judgments regarding the prosecutor, but if they have a record of having cases thrown out over such violations I imagine all the defense attorneys know, and scrutinize every word McGowan say's to use at the appeal.
It doesn't seem like a prosecutor with such a record would be cost-effective.
Bob Forer 3 years, 5 months ago
Not true.
gccs14r 3 years, 5 months ago
From what I've read, she was no better over in Missouri. It'd be nice if someone would run against Branson (it's hard to vote him out when he runs unopposed) and clean house in the prosecutor's office. It's pretty clear that he is going to stick with McGowan no matter what.

---problem is, she works for Branson. she is only a symptom.
Nikonman 3 years, 5 months ago
The problem isn't Amy, it's the appeals judges. I have noticed they seem to side on the side of the defendent, the Creeps in other words. The objective of the trial should be to expose the truth. The Reasonable Doubt concept has outlived the intended purpose. Why are defense lawers afraid of the truth?
BlackVelvet 3 years, 5 months ago
Why are defense lawyers afraid of the truth? Because the truth will (usually) not set their clients free?
blindrabbit 3 years, 5 months ago
Several years ago I attended the Lawrence Police Citizens Academy, Ms. McGowan was also an attendee. Though most of the class was made up of ordinary citizens, several were employees of either the Lawrence Police, the Sheriff Department or the Office of the District Attorney. Only negative impression in the the class was the seemingly inattentive behavior of Ms. McGowan and another female employee of the D.A.'s Office. They had no interaction with rest of the class and played videogames on their handhelds during breaks. At the time, I felt these two were very immature, juvenile and unprofessional and could hardly understand how they could be a part of the D.A.'s Prosecurtorial Staff..
kimk 3 years, 5 months ago
You can say what you want about the "creeps" of the world. They may very well be horrible people. That doesn't give Ms. McGowan the right to disregard the rules of law. Every time she decides to make statements that are not allowed, does not turn over evidence, etc... She cost taxpayers money. If she had a strong enough case she should not have to do these things to get a guilty verdict. Instead of properly preparing her case she takes the easy way out and lies/cheats to get results. Unfortunately for us, every time she makes that choice we the taxpayers are the ones picking up the tab. Perhaps if she had to pick up the tab to retry/ resentence these individuals she would think twice about her duties as a prosecutor.

We need to talk about doctor shaming on social media. This month alone, I have seen three separate posts in which a patient's watcher, presumably a relative, snaps a photo of the involved physician or intern, and then posts the image on Facebook with either a disgruntled remark or an agonizing narrative. The post invariably generates commiseration in the form of likes and comments, only a few of which could be considered constructive, some even bordering on harassment and libel. Continue reading →

I Used to Ride a Bike to Work
It was elective surgery day and I was the pediatric neurosurgery fellow assigned to the operating theater. After scrubbing my arms and hands with antiseptic in the anteroom that served as our washing area, I walked into the operating room with both arms held up in front and politely requested a sterile towel from the scrub nurse. From across the room, it was our head nurse Shelley who noticed the grazes on both of my forearms.
"Oh, what happened to you Ron?" her tone filled with concern as if I were her own son.
"I got into a fight in a bar over the weekend," I said with as much seriousness I could muster while patting myself dry. Continue reading →

I propped myself against her husband's empty hospital bed as Ofelia Reyes remained seated on the plastic monobloc chair next to it, both hands kneading self-pity and frustration on her lap — repeatedly, pointlessly, helplessly — as she narrated the events that left her shaken, robbed of what little money and hope their family had had left.

Nothing posted on this yet? I didnt see anything and found it interesting that Delta has already begun courting China and U.S. officials on the prospect of beginning ATL to PEK service for 2008. 2008 appears to be when the next round of slots will be awarded to China. Here is a few sentences from the article I found most interesting.
"Last week, Delta opened a sales office in Beijing, its first in China, and executives plan to open offices in Shanghai and Guangzhou early next year. Delta has also helped China's aviation administration develop routes over the North Pole and has helped train Chinese administrators and pilots."
Also, by the year 2012 it is anticipated that there will be little to no profit available for U.S. to China routes, so hopefully DL can lock up one of these slots ASAP

Cairo Prince had a leisurely breeze at Palm Meadows on New Year's Eve
in preparation for his 2014 bow in the $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes (G2)
on January 25. Working in tandem with stablemate Antipathy, the gunmetal
gray colt was well within himself and had his ears pricked while being
timed in :51.90 for a half-mile. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin was hoping
for a slightly faster move from the colt, but pointed out that Cairo
Prince put up a :47.60 drill last week.
"I was a little disappointed, he went too slow," McLaughlin said. "He
breezes in company most of the time, but last week he went 47 and 2/5
[seconds] and was out in a minute. Maybe it was rider error or company
error, but we have plenty of time to catch up. We'll put him with
different company next week and probably back it up to Sunday or Monday
because he went so slow.
"He's fine and we have time to correct it," McLaughlin added. "He
usually does work pretty well, but he's the type that if you don't put
him in company, he'll go in 53 [seconds] or 46. So if he goes in
company, they usually get it right. It was unfortunate, but it's no big
deal. He's a sound and happy horse."
Cairo Prince captured the Nashua Stakes (G2) in his second start on
November 3, but, after looking like the winner at the stretch call of
the Remsen Stakes (G2) four weeks later, wound up second by a nose to
the resurgent Honor Code.
"I'd rather not think about it," McLaughlin quipped. "But the facts
are that we gave the winner six pounds, and the jock [Luis Saez] just
rode him overconfidently. He had his stick down and went by him and
thought he had it won. It was unfortunate, but as of now, Saez will ride
him in the Holy Bull."
Cairo Prince is currently McLaughlin's leading candidate for the
Triple Crown races, and the conditioner also has the promising filly
Penwith ready to gear up her sophomore campaign. A homebred for Darley,
the daughter of Bernardini broke her maiden over a highly regarded field
in her second start on October 27, and completed her 2013 season in the
Demoiselle Stakes (G2) on November 30. The bay filly set the pace in
that nine-furlong test before getting caught late and wound up third,
beaten just a neck by winner Stopchargingmaria.
Penwith is the 6-5 morning-line favorite in Thursday's second race at
Gulfstream, a first-level allowance for 3-year-old fillies. Luis Saez
will be in the irons. She is out of Composure, a multiple Grade I winner
that Darley acquired for $3.6 million at the conclusion of her racing
