Seagate Momentus 5400.3
- Lots of storage space
- More expensive than the competition
Bottom Line
If you need lots of storage on the road, then you really can't go past this drive. At $599, it does sound expensive, but it works out at $3.70 per gigabyte, compared to approximately $2.30 per gigabyte for smaller capacity drives.
Price$ 599.00 (AUD)
Seagate is the first hard drive vendor to release a hard drive that features perpendicular storage technology. Perpendicular storage offers a breakthrough in the way data on your hard drive is stored. It will no doubt herald a new era where hard drive capacities will increase by up to 10 times over the existing drives on the market, using the same physical area.
Seagate has implemented this technology into its 2.5in Momentus 5400.3 notebook drive, which is the largest notebook hard drive capacity currently on the market, at 160GB. However, it still uses the older Ultra ATA/100 interface, not Serial ATA (SATA) and has a 5400rpm spin speed along with an 8MB cache.
Perpendicular storage differs from standard longitudinal storage by standing the bits upright rather than laying them end-to-end. This allows for the bits to be stacked closer together with less transition space, as their magnetic orientation is applied vertically. Using this technology, Seagate has achieved an areal density of 245 gigabits (30.625GB) per square inch. The Momentus 5400.3 uses two platters and four heads to achieve its 160GB capacity.
Compared to the Momentus 5400.2 drive, the 5400.3 offers not only a larger capacity, but also better shock resistance. The operating shock tolerance of the 5400.3 is 350Gs (G-shock rating). This is 100Gs greater than the 5400.2.
In our tests, the read speeds were a little more erratic than what we are used to when performing benchmark tests using HD Tach 3, with read speeds falling faster than they did on regular longitudinal drives as the drive heads moved further inward. It delivered an average read speed of 35MBps.
In real-world tests, where we copy up to 60GB of data from one location on the drive to another, we clocked an average transfer speed of 11.3MBps, with a maximum of 15MBps. This is slightly slower than longitudinal Serial ATA drives found in the latest Centrino Duo notebooks we have tested, but still not too shabby for a 5400rpm drive.
The 5400.3 is a tad quieter than previous versions due to Seagate's implementation of its QuietStep technology, which controls the drive head velocity when they are parked. This eliminates the audible clicking sound that may make you question your drive's health. In operation, the drive was almost inaudible in the laptop PC.
Power consumption has also been improved marginally. This results in less heat dissipation and a slightly longer battery life if you are watching movies or listening to music stored on your hard drive. You will notice this small gain if you are constantly reading from the hard drive.
In the future, we can expect 2.5in drives to break the terabyte storage mark by implementing and refining perpendicular technology.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Killed trying to retrieve skateboard
Relevant offers
The mother of a young man killed while skateboarding says she doesn't blame the driver of the car that hit him.
Jamie Richard Haggath, 20, died after being hit in Loburn, near Rangiora, about 5.30pm yesterday.
Police said initial inquiries indicated the young man had walked into the path of a vehicle on Carrs Rd, which is a 100kmh zone, while attempting to retrieve his skateboard which was lying on the road.
Haggath's mother Diane Haggath said Jamie and his father, Paul, had designed a new house for the family, which she and Paul were now building.
''The house will be his legacy,'' she said.
Haggath had been living in Auckland, but was spending the summer with his parents in Loburn, close to where the accident happened.
Diane Haggath said her son was "just a lovely kid... loved by all of us".
"It's just a tragic accident. We don't blame the driver at all. It's just one of those things," she said.
Her son loved his skateboard, which was a gift from his 22-year-old sister Katie, years ago.
He came down to Loburn last month.
Diane Haggath said she had recently broken her leg and he was helping to look after her. She saw him just before he went out for a skate on Station Rd, something he often did. He was returning home when he was killed.
"He said, are you okay if I go out for a ride? I said, no problem, see you soon."
"He's done the route loads and loads of times," she said.
"A few seconds either way, it wouldn't have happened."
The family moved to Auckland from north-east England about 10 years ago. Diane and Paul Haggath had moved to Loburn about three years ago, she said.
Haggath was studying at Massey University. He was creative, and had previously studied graphic design, his mother said.
Diane Haggath said his death was the worst news to receive at Christmas.
"It feels like a bad dream."
Sergeant Colin Stewart said initial inquiries indicated neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the accident.
He said the driver, who was from Loburn, was headed to Rangiora. The driver was "very distraught".
Neighbours rushed to help Haggath, but he died at the scene. A woman, who is a nurse, offered help at the scene but was told "no, it's too late".
Diane Haggath said the family planned to hold a funeral for her son in North Canterbury, and then hold a remembrance ceremony in Auckland for his many friends there to attend.

Does it feel like your life is going in the wrong direction???

You know I am going to chime in and say that this is dandy, but some of us are in situations beyond our control. It is said that you cannot control anything except your reaction to something.
But I'd like to see someone have a positive cheerful reaction to going, say, to court where an ex is charging you with contempt on trumped up charges. Or you can't sell a home and start your simplified life because the economy is tanking. Or your employer has it hanging over you that despite your fine job performance your job might not be there in a few months due to seniority issues.
There are some real practicalities in life that just suck. Many of us are awake enough to want to simplify and streamline but are bogged down by the remaining fallout from failed relationships, economic armageddon, family obligations (caring for sick/older relatives).
It's not all about choice. Sometimes you have no choice. And don't tell me "well change how you feel or think about it." Because caring for a sick, elderly person sucks for everyone involved. You feel bad, they feel bad. You can say "oh, turn that frown upside down. You are helping someone. Blah blah blah." But it hurts seeing someone you love in demise day after day.
A few of us have the RIGHT to be upset about how the path of life is going. Honor us as we fight to change our situation by not telling us to buck up, but rather by saying "I feel for you, brother. I hope it gets better soon."
Please verify you're human:

The Senate passed a bill yesterday to reform the Veterans Health Administration: It would fund the opening of new hospitals and the hiring of new doctors, offer more ways to keep VA bureaucrats accountable, do some other random grab-bag spending (in-state tuition for vets!), and, lastly, expand coverage for vets to get care outside the VA when necessary.
Congress could reasonably expect that the bill they were voting on would be very expensive, but they didn't know just how expensive until . . . the Senate was basically already voting on the bill. Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office announced that it believes the bill will cost $35 billion over three years, ramping up to as much as $50 billion a year if its programs are made permanent. As, of course, they will be, meaning that this is an absolutely gigantic expansion of the VA. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget points out that over ten years of full implementation, the VA expansion, by the CBO's numbers, could be even bigger than the system's current budget:
Now, as the CBO noted, their score of the VA bill is highly uncertain. All budget projections are unreliable, of course. And this one is especially so: The CBO admits they have little idea how vets will respond to the policy changes (one of the big increases in costs, they predict, will come from vets getting care at VA hospitals for which they used to go elsewhere because of supply constraints and wait times). The score is also just of the "give vets more access to non-VA care" portion of the bill, not its other spending — though that's less of a problem since the Republican House should plan to strip out basically everything except for that.
But the fact that this gigantic price tag was delivered around 4 p.m. yesterday, when the Senate voted around 4:30, is reason enough to slow down and reconsider just what they're about to pass. Only three senators agreed, unfortunately, all Republicans: Bob Corker of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Yet Corker, Johnson, and Sessions are getting blasted anyway by the traditional vets' groups, who have never met a VA spending or expansion bill they didn't like. The VFW:
As encouraging as the pending legislation is came [sic] three no votes from Republican Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Jeff Sessions (Ala.), because they put dollars and cents above the interests of the nation's veterans.
"There is a cost of going to war that includes taking care of those who come home wounded, ill and injured, and if these three senators have determined that we can't afford to properly care for our veterans, then they should seek employment elsewhere!" exclaimed VFW National Commander William A. Thien.
"This is a national crisis that must be fixed, period," he said. "This is about saving lives, restoring faith, and honoring a nations' commitment to her veterans, and the VFW fully expects every member of Congress to support the final bill, because I can guarantee you that the price veterans paid in their own blood far exceeds any price tag some members of Congress want to proclaim is too high.
This kind of outrage, for one, ignores the senators opposing the bill weren't even necessarily proclaiming the price to be too high — they were primarily objecting that it was irresponsible to pass it quickly and without paying for it. Of course, the price might in fact be too high: The sacrifices vets have made are incalculable but the benefits we provide to them aren't, and shouldn't be, unlimited. They deserve the care they're promised, but the price at which that comes isn't irrelevant. Almost every member of Congress, bowing to the political pressure on this issue, is basically pretending it is.
The VFW expressed hope that the House and Senate will go to conference on the bills they've passed, iron out the differences, and send the legislation to the president's desk immediately. This isn't good policy, but it's par for the course with the VA, as Yuval has explained: Groups that represent vets, like almost any special-interest group, can be quite well-intentioned but can't reliably distinguish between their institutional interests and the actual best interests of the people they're supposed to represent.
Representative Jeff Miller (R., Fla.), chairman of the un-glamorous Veterans Affairs Committee, has suggested he's not going to bow to vets' groups – the House will, at the very least, find a way to pay for the provisions they want to pass. In doing so, as NR's editors recommend today, they should strip out a lot of the unnecessary spending in the Senate bill, do further study on whether this is going to encourage vets to get more care from the VA, and focus solely on fixing the system, not expanding it. (Indeed, if we want the system to work well, there's actually a case for curtailing eligibility so that vets get the very best care for their service-related injuries. Democrats, the VFW, etc. consistently want to expand eligibility.)

With the news that Uber just released its own API, it seems as if the mobile sharing economy is poised to make its jump into the mainstream. As it is lending its services to apps that have traditionally been used for chatting, planning, and even hospitality, we'll likely be seeing a lot more Uber integration as we go about our daily lives.
As Uber and the mobile sharing economy continue to grow in popularity, their successes and implications become more intriguing. The fact that Uber and its contemporaries have, in a relatively short amount of time, managed to revolutionize the transportation industry is no small feat.
So what can this latest mobile trend teach the enterprise? As more and more companies attempt to become the "Uber of" their own respective industries, here's a list of five things that every business can learn from the mobile sharing economy.
1. Things Can Always Be More Efficient – and Less Expensive
Steve Jobs once made the assertion that consumers "don't know what they want until you show it to them." While the sentiment doesn't hold true for every business, it's a cornerstone of innovative thought. Before Uber, who knew that there was so much room for growth in the taxi industry?
When Uber came to the scene with its promise of more convenient transportation, it was easy to place the app in the same bucket as any other attempted disruptors: Legitimate concepts whose real-world clout was difficult to predict. But with its success, Uber has shown that things can always be more convenient, a fact that has already picked up tons of steam within its own sphere.
By implementing its own peer-to-peer ridesharing system, Uber competitor Lyft took a leap of faith, which eventually established them as a cheaper alternative.
2. Ownership Is Overrated
"Uber is a company that owns nothing."
In its recent series about the mobile sharing economy, Re/Code offered a wealth of fantastic insights about the recent sharing trend in mobile commerce, but this idea – that Uber doesn't actually own stuff – stands out among the rest. On its surface, the concept seems unremarkable. After all, businesses have long derived value from "cutting the middleman."
What sets Uber apart is the way it has harnessed the ubiquity of the mobile device to transform transportation from a capital issue to a logistics issue. By tapping into the ability to connect people via mobile devices, the company was able to circumvent the issue of creating those services themselves. While it's a big jump from physical capital to the sharing economy, there is a wealth of opportunity within that space which still has yet to be explored.
3. The Workforce Is Evolving – for Better or Worse
Perhaps the mobile sharing economy's biggest impact has been in the job market. According to its website, Uber is currently hiring 20,000 new drivers per month. And same-day delivery services like WunWun and Postmates are using bike messengers to transport objects at blazing speeds. The mobile sharing economy is creating some huge waves in the workforce, and it's important to see where these employment patterns are succeeding and failing.
Instead of freelance or full-time workers, companies like Lyft are employing "fractional" workers, who act as independent contractors. They own their own bikes and cars, and they decide when they'd like to take on shifts.
While this type of employment allows for blazing-fast deliveries and more streamlined services, it also raises a host of brand-new issues. Who, for instance, is at fault if an Uber driver hits a pedestrian? Are bike messengers covered if they get into an accident while on the job?
As the first wave of businesses in the sharing economy continues to deal with these issues, it's a good idea to measure the pros and cons of this fractional employment so that if you ever decide to make a jump into this type of business, you know what you're dealing with.
4. The Sharing Economy Can Give You Some Distinct Advantages Over the Big Players in the Field
While a company like Amazon seems almost untouchable when it comes to delivery logistics and efficiency, there are still many areas where even the most established online behemoths can be beaten. Amazon's "Amazon Fresh" service, which delivers perishable foods locally, relies on its capital and is currently only available on the West Coast. In the mobile sharing economy, this is a weakness that can be taken advantage of.
Whereas new start-ups can hire fractional workers like bike messengers and independent drivers, Amazon already has some deeply established expectations to accompany their delivery services. A service like WunWun or Postmates can easily get away with making same-day deliveries via bike messenger, but Amazon's shareholders and customers might not take kindly to the idea.
5. Consumers Are Down for Almost Anything – If They Trust Your Services
Whenever a deal sounds too good to be true, there are always a few initial questions that every consumer asks right off the bat.
"What's the catch?" is typically the first of these questions, and many consumers decide whether or not they like a service based on the answer to this question alone.
While it's important to think about whether your company's "catch" might put off too many customers, the sharing economy has shown that the rabbit hole goes much deeper than we might have originally thought. Who knew that Lyft – an app which ostensibly allows strangers to ride with strangers – could be such a huge hit?
As it turns out, the catch doesn't really matter all that much – provided you can develop enough customer trust.
When I first heard about Lyft, I was extremely skeptical of the driver situation. How could I possibly know whether the person behind the wheel was trustworthy? But a quick look at Lyft's rigorous background checks and driver requirements was all it took to sway me on the legitimacy of the service. I find that the same holds true for most people I've introduced to the app.
Over the short span of its existence, the mobile sharing economy has already caused drastic changes to the service landscape. Within this new mobile-driven framework, there is a whole world of opportunity open to any innovative businesses that are brave enough to take on the risks that this fledgling economy presents. But if businesses can adopt some of the experience of companies like Uber and Lyft, they'll find themselves well-prepared to enter the fray.

SPS Rathore abused law: CBI
Chandigarh: The CBI on Tuesday said the former
Haryana police chief S P S Rathore, convicted for molesting
teenager Ruchika Girhotra, had misused his position and was
not entitled for any mercy.
Concluding its arguments on the petition filed by the
ex-DGP in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging his
conviction, the CBI contended it was a proven case where the
fight was between two unequals.
Rathore was a senior police officer when he molested
Ruchika who was an ordinary girl, CBI counsel Anmol Rattan
Sidhu said in the court.
Rathore misused his official position and, therefore,
he was not entitled for any mercy or probation, he argued.
The CBI and former top cop`s counsel Abha, who is also
the wife of Rathore, had completed their arguments in the case
before Justice Jitendra Chauhan.
On May 25, a local court had awarded 18-month prison
term to Rathore for molesting 14-year-old Ruchika, a budding
tennis player.
A day later, Rathore, lodged in Burail Jail, filed a
revision petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court
challenging his conviction.

The Punjab government on Thursday sought financial assistance from the Centre to digitise documents related to over one crore old vehicles in the state to save on huge office space.
"We have sought Rs 18 crore assistance from the Centre for scanning of over one crore old vehicle registration certificates. Road Transport and Highways Minister C P Joshi has assured us our demand will be considered in the next fiscal," Punjab Transport Secretary Mandip Singh told PTI after a meeting between State Transport Minister Ajit Singh Kohar and Joshi.
Singh said the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry has approved Rs 50 lakh for digitisation of data at present. The state has been recording one of the minimal number of road accidents for the last three years and has already overhauled its existing fleet of about 3,000 buses.
Punjab, Singh said, meanwhile will embark on the ambitious project of scanning all old registration certificates from February this year from its own funds as the huge files had occupied lot of office space.
"Directions will be issued to all 22 district transport offices for start of the scanning work of old records from February onwards so that the files can be disposed of," Singh said adding all recent records have already been computerised.
Elaborating the initiatives taken by its transport department, the State Transport Secretary said: "Punjab is the only state in the country which has authorised the principals of its state technical institutions including medical and engineering colleges, High Schools and ITIs to issue driving licences to eligible students".
Apart from issuing about 500 driving licenses to eligible students, the state had undertaken a drive against drink driving resulting in registering the minimum number of accidents in the country, he added.

OXX Digital Breeze digital radio
A small and portable entry-level digital (DAB+) radio
- Can tune Digital and FM stations
- Can run on AA batteries
- Poor buttons
- Weak speaker
Bottom Line
The OXX Digital Breeze is a simple radio that can tune in to either digital or FM broadcasts. It's also a portable unit that can run on four AA batteries. Basically, it's a decent entry-level digital radio for the kitchen or any other environment where you want some background music (or talkback shenanigans) to help you get through your work.
Price$ 79.95 (AUD)
The OXX Digital Breeze is a small and portable digital radio that can also tune in to FM stations. It's an inexpensive unit compared to most digital radios out there and its quality is commensurate to what you pay for it, but it's nevertheless a fine radio for the kitchen or workshop.
The Breeze has a basic design with a little curving, a pull-out antenna and a range of buttons at the top. Its buttons don't feel crisp or responsive when pressed, and you have to press them quite forcefully, but if you have a favourite station that you always listen to no matter what, the chances are that you'll rarely need to press them anyway. On the front you'll find a two-line LCD screen, which provides information about the station you are listening to in a sometimes very slow scrolling fashion.
The front also has the single speaker, which isn't very loud and which doesn't supply great audio quality. It sounds very flat and quite similar to what an old 'mono' radio from years gone by would sound like, which is funny considering the digital technology inside the case. That said, if you just want a radio that will be on in the background while you work, especially if you listen to talkback, then it will be perfect.
You can even use the Breeze while outdoors — perhaps while doing a spot of gardening; all you'll need is a supply of four AA batteries. These batteries will need changing every few days depending on how long you run the radio (you'll get around 10 hours out of them).
Setting up the Breeze isn't hard. It scans channels in only a few seconds the first time you switch it on, after which you are ready to listen to your favourite station (our was definitely Mix 80s). However, station changes are very slow and it can take a long time to sample all the stations to find something you want to listen to — it doesn't help that there are so many stations these days either.
You can place your most commonly listened to stations in presets; up to 20 presets are supported, 10 for digital stations and 10 for FM. To add the station you are currently listening to as a preset, all you have to do is press the 'Presets' button for a couple of seconds until it flashes, use the up and down arrows to select a slot for it and then press the 'Enter' button. You can then access presets by pressing the 'Presets' button and using the up and down arrows to find the station you want.
There's not much more to this radio. It may not supply great sound quality through its single, 1W speaker, but you can always plug in headphones, through which the Breeze can sound great. We like the portability of the unit thanks to its willingness to run on AA batteries and think it's a fine, relatively low-cost choice for anyone who wants a digital radio for the kitchen, office or workshop. Because the radio supports the DAB and DAB+ standards and runs on batteries, it could also potentially be a good travel companion while visiting Europe and the UK.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

trustee Application February 8, 1945,Serial No. 576,855
The invention relates to water'purification and clarification and moreparticularly "to new and useful methods and devices for clarifying and purifying Water in aportable canteenor-a similar container.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forthin part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrom, or may belearnedby-practice with the invention, the same-being realized and attained by 'means of the 'instrumentalities and constituting a 'part hereof, illustrate one embodiment of'the invention, and'to etherwith the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Of the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a central verticalsection-of a canteen embodying the invention;
:Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the canteen shown in Fig. 1;
Fig.3 is a horizontal section taken-on line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the performance of the method of generating filtering centrifugal force with'said canteen.
'The invention is directed to providing novel and useful means for clarifying and sterilizing water or other raw fluids; and more especially in conjunction with such fluids carried in -canteensor other relatively small portable containers. One object of the invention is to provide means .and method for clarifying by filtration action raw Water carried in a canteen, centrifugal force being generatedmanually to provide-filtration :pressure not normally obtainable in such. portable containers. Another object of theinvention is to purify or-sterilize raw water in a, canteen by filtration througha medicated filtermedium by means of centrifugal "force. Another object'of the invention is .to provide means for sterilizing raw .water in a portable canteen by injecting or adding thereto selected quantity of sterilizingior germicidal fluid, preferably prior to filtration of said water. Another object of the invention is to provide a relatively lightand simple canteen construction whichmay be provided with removable, centrifugally operated filtering devices, saiddevices being removable from the canteen lwhen pure water may be .obtainedfrom outside source, thereby increasing :the capacity of'such canteen under such conditions. Another object of the invention is to provide a canteen with means assuring individual sterile "drinking contact with the liquid in the canteen.
In the tropics and many other parts of the world where clean germ-free water cannot "be obtained, it "is necessary to provide means for clarifyingand sterilizing water'beforeitis drunk by soldiers and other humans. The presentinvention'is directed to providingrela tively sim* ple, portable, individual canteen devices in which a-high degree of clarification and-purification of raw Water maybe effected quickly and'easilyby the individual manual operation of the carrier himself without having to carry any substantial 'quantityof delicate or heavy'purifyingand clarifyingapparatus or otherimpedimenta. By means of'the invention acanteenof substantially standard size and shape is equipped with filtration means which are always at hand and constitute simpleand unobtrusive additions to such standardcanteen structure. Also, 'by'a novel operating method, the invention makes it possible to generate a very high degree of filtering pressure and thereby insure a maximum clarificationand purification of-rawwater in the minimum of space andtime.
lt-will be understood that the i'oregoinggeneral description and the followingdetaileddeseription as well are -e-xemplary and explanatory-but are not restrictive of the invention.
Referring now in-deta'il to thepresentpreferred embodiment :of :the invention iilnstrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, the invention :provides a hollow :canteen body or container l having a preferabl fiat bottom 2 :wi-th fiat vertical side walls 3 and ii and rounded upwardly and outwardly inclined end wallsnfi andfi. The invention is not specifically limited :to this particular shape "of canteen, but same is illustratively shown as being of relatively standard canteen design and adapted for portability, .compactness .and adaptability to the other features of :the invention hereinafter described. It will be understood,lhowever, that theprinciples of the invention are also applicable :to containers of cylindrical, :square .and other cross-sectional shapes.
The upper or top portion of the container I comprises two upwardly and inwardly curved shoulders .1 and-:8 which terminate to merge :with a vertical cylindrical column or neck in .which projects upwardly from its junction with said shoulders I and 8 to form an upstanding :central elevated :neck portion. of the canteen. The upper 1.! portion of said column in is thickened at I I to provide a flanged shoulder, the perimeter of which is threaded at I2 to receive a cap-supporting internally threaded ring I3 which is screwed onto the ring II. Ring I3 is provided with an inwardly projecting top flange I5 which is normally spaced from and overlies the upper flat rim I6 of the ring II. An upwardly domed lid or cap 28 is seated on top of the flange I5 of ring I3, being pivotally connected thereto at one side by the hinge 2| and normally held in closed position at the opposite side by a spring latch 22.
An inlet for raw or fresh water into the com tainer I is preferably provided on the shoulder portion 8 thereof, said inlet comprising an upstanding cylindrical column which is externally threaded at its upper enlarged end portion to receive an internally threaded cup-like cap 21 which fits thereon.
As described thus far, the container I may be used as a simple portable canteen when pure water or other fluid is readily obtainable. Said canteen may be carried from the shoulder or harness of the wearer by means of shoulder strap 30, the ends of which are provided with swivel links 3i adapted to pivotally engage capped studs 32 which project from either side of the canteen.
When, in accordance with the invention, it is desired to provide clarification and medicated filtration of the water introduced into the container I through the inlet 25, an internal auxiliary container is mounted within the external container I. Said internal container comprises a cylindrical casing Ail which fits within the neck I0 and hangs from the top thereof to near the bottom 2 of the outer casing. Said internal container is provided with top annular flange III which overlies the top I6 of the ring II and is tightly held thereagainst by a screw cap I3. The bottom end of the internal casing 40 is provided with means for supporting a porous filter pad or other filter medium 45 which, as shown, may comprise a pad of medicated paper or cloth. Said filter medium 45 is preferably in the form of a circular disc and is adapted to be seated against the bottom end of the cylindrical container 40. For this purpose a dependent annular bushing 46 may be fixed to the bottom of said cylindrical container 40 and extend downwardly therefrom, being provided with external threading 4']. The filter cap 45 is adapted to rest against the bottom 45 of said bushing 45 and is held in place thereagainst by an internal ring 48 which engages the threads 4! and is provided with an inwardly disposed flange 59 which engages the bottom edge of the filter cap and presses same tightly against the bottom edge of the bushing 46. A metal screen or other foraminous strengthening membrane 50 may be provided to lend additional support to the filter pad, if desired.
It will be noted that the filter pad 45 and its supporting ring 48 lie a short distance above the bottom 2 of the outer container I, thereby providing access by the water in said outer container so that same may pass through filter pad to the inner container 40.
When the outer container I is filled with water, it will be recognized that such raw water will tend, by gravital level-seeking action, to penetrate the filter pad 45 and rise in the container 4a. This tendency, however, will be limited by the flow resistance of the filter pad itself and such gravital flow will therefore be slow and inadequate.
In accordance with the invention I therefore provide auxiliary means for generating a relatively greatly increased filtration pressure so as to cause the raw water in the outer container to be forced through the pad 45 and into the inner container 40 by centrifugal force. In order to generate such centrifugal force, the carrier of the canteen is required merely to unsling same from his shoulder and whirl the canteen around his head either vertically or horizontally in the manner of a sling, doing so by grasping the strap 30 and allowing the canteen to whirl as indicated in Fig. 4, for example. This manual whirling operation will generate a very greatly increased filtration action, that is, many times that of gravity, in accordance with well known principles of centrifugal displacement. Accordingly the container 40 may be quickly completely filled with water which has been purified and sterilized by passing through the filter pad 45. For some cases of water-purification, the pad 45 may be formed as a ceramic diffusion medium, or as a perforated baffle plate.
In order to facilitate the flow of water into said container 40 under the centrifugal action thus generated, it is desirable to vent therefrom air which is compressed by the entrance of liquid into the container 40. For this purpose I provide a centrifugally displaced one-way valve or vent in the lid 20 of the canteen. As an example of such a valve there is shown a vent in the cap 20, which vent is normally closed by ball 56 held against the vent by spring 5! in apertured housing 58. Under centrifugal action said vent is caused to open as the Weight of ball 56 opposes the action of the spring, thereby tending to vent air compressed within the container by the entrance of the filtered water. A similar vent and valve (not shown) will be provided in the outer cover 8 to prevent formation of a counter vacuum within said outer container I.
To prevent the formation of a countervailing vacuum in the outer container I as the water is forced into the inner container, the inlet spout 25 may be left wholly or partly open during the whirling action by unscrewing the cap 27.
If desired, the invention may provide an individual sterile drinking tube for the user which will avoid his having to place his lips on any external portion of the canteen which may have become contaminated. For this purpose a flexible tube 60, preferably formed of synthetic rubber or other flexible inert material is hung within the container 40, as by means of a chain 6|, fixed to the inner surface of the hinged lid 20. A mouthpiece 62 may be provided at one end of the dependent tube. As will be observed from the drawing when the lid is open, the mouthpiece is drawn out and rendered available for sucking water out of the container.
The invention further provides, as an additionally desirable feature thereof, means for introducing selected and measured quantities of a sterilizing or purifying chemical into solution with the raw water in the container I, whereby to purify said water by such medication alone or for furthering purification thereof in connection with the filtering action already described. For this purpose an injection device is mounted on the shoulder I of the container I, by means of which measured small quantities of any desired chemical solution, such as a concentrated aqueous solution of copper sulphate, may be injected into the water in the container I. As shown, a cylindrical tube I0 for containing such chemical solu- 15 tion, is suspended within the outer container I. the
upper end of said tube 19 being internally threaded at l I to screw onto the externally threaded plug 72 of a tubular housing 13 which projects downwardly from the shoulder I of the container. The upper end of said housing 13 is outwardly flanged and threaded to screw onto the upstanding column 74 rising from the shoulder 1.
Means for forcing a measured portion of the chemical solution carried within the tube 70 under pressure into the water in the container 1 are provided in the form of an injector plunger manually operated from outside the water container. As shown, said plunger comprises a piston head 89 which is slidable within the reduced end portion 8| of the tube 70 and at its lower end is provided with an enlarged cap 82 which lies outside and normally against the bottom end of said tube 10. The upper end of said piston head 8|] is reduced at 83 to join a stem 84 which extends upwardly through the tube and joins the flanged lower end 85 of the upper plunger body 86 which is slidable within the end 72 of the casing 13. The upper end of said body 88 is connected to a reduced stem portion 81 which extends upwardly and terminates in a button 88.
Said stem is surrounded by a compressible helical spring 89, the lower end of which rests against the internal shoulder 99 of the casing 13, while the upper end bears against the cap 9| of the plunger.
Referring again to the lower end 80 of the plunger, same is provided with a socket 96 normally lying within the solution in the tube 10. It will be seen that when the button 88 is depressed against the sprin 89, the plunger head 8!] will be forced downwardly, carrying with it a measured portion of the solution within the socket 96. The pressure so generated will eject that portion of liquid into the water in the container and each time the plunger is so depressed, a similar additional quantity will be injected. Thus any measured amount of medicated fluid or sterilizer may be added to the raw water in the canteen by the operator. Preferably the injector will be actuated before the container 1 is filled to the level of the plunger end 82, so that dilution of the sterilizing material in the tube 10 will be avoided.
The invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific mechanisms shown and described but departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the accompanying claim without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.
What I claim is:
A portable water purifying canteen including in combination a water container for holding raw water, a pure water vessel mounted within said container concentric therewith, said vessel being fixed with respect to the container, the bottom of said vessel being spaced a short distance from the bottom of the container, a filter medium in the bottom of the vessel, said medium constituting the sole means for travel of water from the container into the vessel, said filter medium having such resistance to liquid fiow that the static head of raw water in the container when full is insufficient to cause water to flow into the vessel through said medium, and a strap or the like attached to the container adjacent to the top thereof and being several times greater in length than the liquid-containing depth of said container whereby the canteen may be swung in an orbit to induce centrifugal flow of water from the container through the filter medium into the vessel.

The one babyface to walk away successful tonight was WWE Champion John Cena. While a lot of fans were rooting for Mark Henry to finally reach the top of the moment, it was pretty predictable as to what would happen. Henry dominated most of the match, and if anyone is believable in dominating an opponent, it is Mark Henry. But in sticking with the formula, the WWE did its typical "Cena overcomes the odds" finish, one that has become so monotonous that it has driven fans to leave wrestling all together.
If there is one thing I can say about this wholeheartedly predictable match it is that Mark Henry deserves better. This could have been his last match ever, and it is almost certainly his last world title shot. Having a man who abused his opponent for 90% and outweighed him by about 175lbs tap out? The least they could do is have him kick out of a couple of AA's or something.
The rest of the show was filled out with simple matches, none of which had very surprising endings. During the pre-show, Rollins and Reigns defeated the Usos, although their fight during the WHC MITB suggests that they are not done feuding. AJ finally finished off Kaitlyn for good, putting an end to a feud that highlighted the strengths of AJ and the weakness of her opponent.
The Miz continued his run in trying to become the worst face in WWE history, this time getting a man the crowd worshiped ejected from ring-side. Axel retained cleanly in his match, and it appears he will be feuding with either CM Punk or Daniel Bryan for Summerslam. Ryback was literally carried to his best match since debuting in the WWE, as Chris Jericho deserves a medal for his work with that lug.
Overall, I think the match quality for MITB was pretty solid. However, I didn't care for a lot of the results, especially with the constant importance of putting heels over faces (Cena is apparently exempt from this rule). I do think that Randy Orton holding the briefcase is an alright move, as it could set him up for his much needed heel turn. The bad thing about this show, is that after it I don't think the WWE got any more interesting, which is a bad sign coming off of a ppv whose sole purpose is to make the future interesting.

James Strachan, 25, acquired a yen for travel from his divorced mother, a United Nations refugee official, and cashed in. He now spends up to six months a year negotiating multimillion-dollar investments in North Africa and the Middle East. As assistant vice-president for the London-based Merrill Lynch International Banking Group, he has helped float a $25 million note between the Kuwaiti and Panamanian governments and backed a Qatar sheik in an $11 million hotel project. That means pressure. "It's hair-raising every time when you're dealing with people in that part of the world," he complains. "They take a long time to make up their minds." While studying economics at Cambridge University, he spent summers working for a Chase Manhattan Bank affiliate in London and took one year off to apprentice in a merchant bank. Then after graduation James indulged his wanderlust. He supported himself making mud bricks in a Tanzanian village, then tracked Bedouin tribes in Abu Dhabi for a film script. Finally he safaried across much of Africa, building up a file of contacts. There is still one deal that the six-foot bachelor(born partially deaf) isn't quite ready to sew up: "I don't think a wife would like the way I live very much."
