Get Home Safely
I never knew this before, but apparently many African American families do. Some parents of black kids have this talk in order to increase the odds that their kids will get home safely if they encounter the police when they are away from home: "10 Rules of Survival if Stopped By Police." I never had this talk with my kids; it never crossed my mind. I'm pretty sure none of my grandchildren will ever hear this talk from their parents. But it's considered crucial parenting wisdom for black families. I had no idea; perhaps that's the case for others of you who are white. You who are black may have heard this talk or given it. My friends, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you live with that. One of my favorite authors, Richard Rohr, emphasizes the intellectual integrity of being able to hold two seemingly conflicting truths at the same time, and respecting the elements of truth in both. It's the opposite of the "dualistic" or "binary" thinking we often see in our society that assumes that one position is 100% right, and a different perspective is 100% wrong. Dualistic thinking leads to the kind of broadly inflammatory statements we so often see in our politics. I hold two convictions regarding this video and the sad, hard truth behind it: I'm deeply grateful for the honest, courageous police officers who put their lives on the line on a daily basis in order to provide security for the rest of us; and, Something is horribly wrong when young children from one race in particular, are taught that, in addition to fearing gang predators down the street, they also need to fear their own police. Even when they are doing nothing wrong. Surely we can embrace the truth about both of these statements, without assuming either one is always/never true. And if we do accept the truth that many black children have learned that the practices and biases of some police officers pose a threat, what do we do about that? Here are three ideas: No matter what our ethnicity as parents or grandparents, we regularly remind our children to honor, respect, and be grateful for the police, firefighters and other first-responders who increasingly risk their lives while protecting ours. For those of us who aren't African-American, let our children know in the right way, at the right time, that some of their friends might have a very different perspective based on the still-sensitive racial issues we face in American society. We constructively and respectfully support city, county and state-wide efforts to review and, when needed, improve the enormously challenging implementation of police enforcement and protection, especially to minorities in their communities. What constructive ideas do you...Read More
Value Your Values
"I violated my values and it was wrong. I behaved shamefully."
Those are the words of Christopher Correa, the former scouting director of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, recently convicted of hacking into the player personnel system of another major league team. He has lost his dream job, faces 46 months in prison and has been ordered to pay a fine of nearly $280,000.
What he would do if he could only turn back time and make another choice when faced with temptation to further his reputation as a winner! Too late; the secret is out.
How sadly often it is that we read very similar stories in the news:
- Head football coach Art Briles, a man of faith, whose decision to ignore, hide or discredit the stories of numerous women who reported sexual assaults by his football players, cost him his job and has cast a dark shadow over the outstanding reputation of Baylor University. He is not an exception; he is only the most public and recent of coaches to betray their own beliefs, and those who trusted him, for the sake of success. Read More
Black Lives Matter; Blue Lives Matter; All Lives Matter
Once again, I'm stunned at the video footage that confronts all of us:
- 49 patrons of an Orlando dance club are brutally slaughtered by a man who apparently hates gays, non-Muslims or both
- A black man in Louisiana shot twice in the chest as he's wrestled to the ground by two officers
- A black man in Minnesota is shot four times after getting pulled over by an officer for a broken taillight, as his wife and 4 year-old daughter watch in horror
- A protest in Minneapolis turns into a virtual riot as firecrackers, Molotov Cocktails and bricks are thrown at police, who then response with smoke and tear-gas. Dozens on both sides are injured
- A peaceful protest in Dallas, in response to these shootings, turns into a sniper attack where a black man kills five police officers and wounds several others
A Do-It-Yourself-Psalm
I'm not much of a poet, but Psalm 124 provides a template that even I can follow in writing a personal expression of praise.
If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler's snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the Name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Re:"I think the kidney needs to be added to the El-Reg set of standard measures."

How many kidneys are the equivalent of an "arm and a leg"?
I think that with a 10 product round-up it is fairly clear that unless the author were to write a humungous review (after spending a couple of months trialling all of them) it was always going to be 3 - 4 paragraphs or so per product. Surely the use of such "portmanteau" reviews is to enable the reader to pick out one or two products for consideration followed by a bit of googling to see if there are any more extensive reviews of the individual product available out there?
"While I agree with the main sentiment of your post; as long as a phone has WiFi then there will be cheap data transfer. (I wonder who'll be the first to get rid of it?)"
It is indeed WiFi that is and may continue be our saving grace here as far as my somewhat dystopic vision of the future of the smartphone is concerned. It's utility at home is so flaming obvious that even the most techno-illiterate punter would think twice before being willing to buy a phone that lacked that facility - and of course if you can't sell such phones in the first place....? -:). In addition of course the increasing ubiquity of WiFi hotspots (bar, hotels, airports, public building etc etc) does rather limit how far they can go - at least as far as one can see at the moment.
"Other types of phone didn't seel so well and this is what the marketplace has shaken out. In other word, they are selling what most people want to buy."
"Want to buy"? I would not have expressed that way. I believe that to some extent the producers, the carriers (who have huge market influence within phone retail in the UK and to all intents and purposes own the US market in mobile phones) and increasingly the cloud-service providers see a huge commonality of interest which has not yet quite dawned on the average non-techie and therefore why the punter should regard local expansion as important/desirable. The scale of the kind of service/product/storage provision OTA that this unholy triumvirate are hoping to achieve is way bigger than is currently extant given that this market is still very much in it's infancy. They absolutely do not want any cheap, easy alternative to data transfer and storage for the average member of Joe Public. That commonality of interest I referred to above is all that is needed to ensure that the OTA cartel that would be the logical end-point of this would come into effect. No formal conspiracies, nothing you risk jail-time or fines for, just the good old "nod is as good as a wink" understanding. However, it gets worse. There are huge infrastructure costs associated with all this and that will drive merger/takeover consolidation in the industry within a few years at most. What happens to the market when, perhaps, a major carrier hooks up with a major cloud-service provider and (maybe) a major phone-producer as well? It does not take too much imagination to see (just as an example) Google/Moto hooking up with, say, Verizon or AT&T. Now there you would end up with a truly unholy trinity (by that I mean the combination of carrier, producer and cloud-provider - I am not having a pop at any particular company, they are just real-world examples.). They would own your arse as far as your mobile communications and computing were concerned (assuming the popularity of tablets as pc continue to grow). Restricted and or non-existent local storage expansion is a key building block in the kind of monopoly situation we may, very unfortunately, be seeing the first faint outlines of in the distance.
"For me it's not the storage space, it's the fact that it's not on a card that I can take out and move to somewhere else, and I sure as hell don't want to be reliant on "Cloud storage" (which I just don't like)."
Precisely one of the points I had in mind. -:)
...........somewhat torn. Yes, this phone is very lovely and yes, the specs are very "drool-worthy" but I cannot get past the fact that all the major OEMs consider, allegedly, that design criteria (thinness and lightness) are of such overwhelming importance that battery life and expandable storage become the victims of collateral damage. The former is still, by any rational standards, poor (regardless of which high-end phone we are talking about, it tends to vary between just about tolerable and downright pony) and expansion is being increasingly thrown out of the lifeboat on the assumption that punters with larger storage needs will use the cloud (the potential costs of such dependence of course could very easily blow a very large hole in your "plan"). Whilst we may not be talking the kind of "lock-in" we associate with a "curated system" such as that practised by A Well Known Major Phone Producer we are none the less on the way to ending up in a hardware-driven usage pattern lock-in where the phone producers are basically telling us how we shall use and manage our smartphones to a degree that we simply did not automatically associate with the Android os as recently as half a year ago. You want/need extra storage - use the cloud. You want a selection of videos on your phone - stream them via the cloud. I do not believe that I am the only one who sees the pattern here. It is not just design issues IMHO that are driving this. The hardware producers are essentially cooperating with the creation of a degree of carrier lock-in and dependence on large amounts of bandwidth and the costs thereof it we are going to be able to use our smartphones as, well, smart-phones. I can foresee a point coming where carriers will no longer offer smartphones on contract that have locally expandable storage and I fear that the OEMs are cooperating with doing their dirty work for them.
That was a very interesting post Jake. I have to say you lead a life very different from mine here in North Norway where the environmental and climatic challenges are somewhat different - to say the least. One small amusing moment - I misread your second sentence as follows: "We trap 'em, and spay & neuter 'em and give them their basic vacations". I thought to myself, now that's what I call an employee care-plan!
Foxes are a notorious reservoir for the disease where ever the species is found. When infected they have a tendency to howl, foam and bite uncontrollably - rather like the current crop of Republican wannabees.
Indeed. When I saw the headline concerning "rabid stinkers" I assumed they had to be referring to the current crop of Republican presidential candidates.
God that makes me feel old. They stopped broadcasting Children's Hour in 1964! Though I believe there was a short-lived TV version of Toy Town some time in the early seventies - if memory serves. Although I had rather grown out of it by then. -:P
"I won't speak for other "fanbois" -- jeezus, I hate that goddamn' word "
..........on the basis of your posting, do not remotely fall within the definition "fanboi" - in contrast to a certain number of the postings we get here at El Reg from a particular proportion of Cupertino's fan-base. I work with a number of "Mac-folk", amongst others, graphic designers and scientists - I would not describe any of them as "fanbois", serious people all of them for whom I have a great deal of time.
I have to admit it is so veeeery tempting. However, I hope that Cupertino really take this as a warning and get their collective arses into gear. None of us is served by this kind of shit (I know, I smiled as well) and it is best (in my humble opinion) that we recognise that we are all in this together (whether we like it or not) and act accordingly.
I know, I know, I'll get my coat.
True enough. However, it is also more interesting than that. In very recent years the Chinese have begun to attempt the shift from primarily export-led exogenous growth to (partially) import-led endogenous growth (as well as seeking of course to shift the attention of their own manufacturerrs in the direction of the home market). This may contribute to the change rather more quickly and on a larger scale than anyone was expecting.
There have been three major iterations since (depending on how one is counting - phones and/or tab operating systems) and they are still releasing kit with 2.2 on it, the leading Android OEM? That's the sort of thing you except on a bottom feeder slate from Generic KrapTek Inc.operating out of a backstreet garage in Shanghai , not Samsung. What the hell are they playing at?
...............investing in industry in the US providing jobs for skilled American workers and contributing positively in terms of taxes, GDP and the trade-balance etc whilst so many US conglomorates are busily continuing to do the opposite - hmm?
Just had a look at that picture, thanks for posting the link. It is a little beauty is it not? The contrast with the seriously fugly subject of this article could scarcely be more obvious.
............offered by equipping your flying car with a rapid firing cannon and the next time some numpty cuts you up really showing him what the concept "road rage" can mean. In fact just fit number plates on an A10 Warthog and you're good to go.
They are indisputably capable of being "cut your nose of to spite your face"-stubborn but it is not entirely unknown for them to rethink if they get a big enough kicking. The capacity to hide the ribbon in Office 2010 as a "one-click" operation contra their "spin on this" attitude with Office 2007 which appeared to cost them sales (a lot of companies refused to upgrade from Office 2003 until 2010 came out) for example. If they get the feeling that ignoring the response to this beta is going to cost them they may think again - well one can always hope.
.........based on the "pony rivets" hypothesis several years ago (a decade perhaps?). This news is not merely "managed", it is well past its shelf-life as far as being new is concerned.
"The Finnish gaming disrupter's Angry Birds characters will soon be on your high street, building activity parks in your suburb, launching an animated series and within two years starring in a feature film, according to creators Rovio."
...........but then I remembered that those homicidal poultry are, allegedly, in space now as well. Where can I hide?
.........the thought of sabre-tooth lemmings is irresistible, it's so good it ought to be true.
*Headline from the linked article.
"Apple aren't responsible for the EU's sluggish adoption of LTE, nor for the fact that 4G is currently only available in North America and parts of the Middle East. (I've heard reliable reports that Dubai has adopted the same LTE frequencies as the US carriers, so yes, the new iPad's LTE features do work there as well.)"
No, they are not responsible for the fact that it is only available in the US and a small degree of availability in Canada. As to whether or not Dubai has LTE now I have not a clue. This however in practice means that in about every market of any size all over the face of the planet outside the US the iPad3 cannot be used as advertised - end of. It is therefore misleading of Apple to advertise the iPad3 in that way outside the North American market. I should also point out that there are very few areas on earth that are going to roll out LTE based on the same frequencies as the US use. IE The iPad3 will never deliver as advertised for the vast majority of Apple's customers outside the US.
.......published on El Reg now and then. Usually however it is because the field concerned within IT is so far outside my knowledge that I have difficulty following the gist of the piece. This article on the other hand is the second* in the last couple of days or so when I have been entirely convinced that one had to be on drugs to have any hope of connecting with it. When you feel like publishing in an earth language (current within the last two thousand years or so) please do get back to me.
"It's still a rectangle," he sniffed. "And we own the rectangle."
That is positively magical. You managed to turn a discussion about how Google may (or may not) up its game in competition with Cupertino into a drive-by anti-Microsoft rant. I have to say that your capacity for intellectual gymnastics is impressive, quite the most innovative use of the straw-man tactic that I have seen in a very long time. Simply reclassify Android customers as closet 'Softies and Bob's you Aunty Joyce, one can turn a debate about the prospects of the Android os contra iOs into yet another MicroDemonBastard$oft posting.
Indeed, a useful corrective to implications of the article's subheading. Ironically enough I have experienced such working conditions in the UK. When I left school as an eighteen year old I got my first job as a porter (in practice a general labourer - carrying luggage was not part of my duties -:P) on BR (we are in the early seventies here) at a central London station. The wages were so piss poor that if you were on a basic 40 hr week day shift BR paid you an extra (very small) allowance because you would otherwise have been entitled to claim off the social. In order to make ends meet I worked 12 hour nights for six nights a week and an eight hour night shift on Sundays. Even after that the pay packet was still below (well below) national averages at the time. I did that for three and half years before moving on. The attitudes of my workmates were divided. Some would much have preferred a somewhat better hourly rate and more time with their families (even if that meant that they did not earn the same amount as with the existing system) and others were prepared to work as many hours as they could get even if (like the Foxconn workers) it had meant literally living at work. With such a huge workforce as Foxconn's it is scarcely surprising that opinion is divided amongst the employees - an issue that the article should have mentioned.
"so the researchers measured the internal pressure of a hundred bodies "
...............there are some jobs I am very happy for other scientists to do!
Really, have you failed to notice what has been happening in the US and the Middle East over the past twenty years or so? Radical fundamentalists in both the Islamic and the Christian conservative traditions? They are not some missionaries from Africa, they have very fundamentalist religious perspectives and considerable political influence. Take a look at what is happening on the right wing of the Republican party in the US if you have not already noticed. Take a look at the internal balance of power within the right wing in Israel. Take a look at what the Wahabis in Saudi Arabia have been up to in recent decades (clue - Osama Bin Laden to name an infamous example). Take a look at what has been happening in Iran since the fall of the Shah. In short, take a look and start doing some thinking. The influence of fundamentalists within all of the Abrahamic religions is significant and highly pernicious in its effects . Common to all of them would be an utter hatred of beings that not only would likely not recognise their God but in many ways from the fundamentalist's point of view the very existence of such beings would be a denial of the existence of their Deity.
"You might wish to do some more research before stating such conclusions. The vast majority of religions have already answered this question"
You might care to justify that very grandiose claim. What I suspect you are saying is that religious denominations you are comfortable with have managed to square the circle (yet again) to their satisfaction and convenience. You may perhaps however have noticed that fundamentalism (in several monotheistic flavours) has been on the rise for the last couple of decades or so - it should not need much "research" for you to notice that. The "nutters" are not a small marginal fringe, they are very influential in a number of very dangerous contexts (albeit out of proportion to their absolute numbers) - and yes, they would still regard the discovery other sentient life as a theological disaster.
Yes, in all likelihood on a Sunday morning. Though the sight of them having a barney with the Adventists over first dibs to the doorstep would have a certain entertainment value.
.................that we will see real proper bonafide aliens in my lifetime (circa 50 years left), which means I want reincarnation to be real, so I can live again and see some weird shit straight out of Dr Who."
You and me both old chap, you and me both. -:)
........crapping themselves in the face of this kind of evidence. I.e. Religious fundamentalists (of all stripes) who, by definition, believe that there is only one Deity and he/she or it created us as unique images of the godhead. In other words it is essential for them and their beliefs that we are alone in the universe (we saw who was behind the killing of federal support for the SETI project in Congress several years ago did we not?) and the possibility that they may have to face up to a theological question that they would above all else like to pretend does not exist must be causing them to shit themselves. Personally speaking the more evidence of this kind that shows that it is increasingly unlikely that we in fact are unique the better I am pleased. The sooner that cosmic reality kicks the legs out from under the godbotherers (regardless of which religion we are talking about) the better.
No indeed, they do not have to do anything so silly as overtly break the law. They simply understand their interests very well and by means of the good old "nod's as good as a wink" method are able, in practice to rig the market as thoroughly as if they had formed a cartel. Ironically enough the "Father" of free market theory, Adam Smith, warned about precisely this kind of behaviour several hundred years ago. Strange that modern neoliberal economists have a tendency to go very quiet on this issue, hmm? Their demagogic insistence that government intervention is to be avoided at all costs when there are obviously circumstances where only government intervention is going to work leaves them silent on a subject (rigging the market) that ought (according to their own professed beliefs) to have them screaming loud and long.
If you are saying that Nokia are simply Microsoft's stalking horse on this issue what then is your explanation for Motorola's role? By exactly the same logic you should be making the same references to Google, hmm? I do not suppose you could possibly consider that the two most experienced mobile phone producers on the face of the planet (Moto and Nokia) might have at least some genuine tech reasons for preferring their offering?
"US House representatives from the Republican party have shot down a Democrat effort to pass a law stopping companies from demanding access to jobseekers' and employees' Facebook accounts."
I have to pose a question however. Given that he is indisputably (very) "limited" how is it that the fraud worked for even one nanosecond and what does that say about the bank?
.......still watering after having read that!
"Apple clearly isn't proposing its design in order to make money from patents, or control the standard, but neither is Nokia.
Unlikely as it sounds, the companies are genuinely arguing about which proposal is the best solution to making SIMs smaller, while ensuring they still fit between our stubby fingers, so they can squeeze more functionality into ever-smaller handsets."
I had to read the paragraph three times before I could believe what I was seeing - and no I am not being sarky. It has however become unfortunately a rarity these days to see honest and constructive disagreement over the technology. It would be nice if it were a harbinger of an improvement in the currently poisonous atmosphere in the industry although I have to admit that I am not holding my breath.
I would definitely had to change my underwear afterwards had I been on that dive.
Whilst one can of course say (with justice) that they should have begun this a long time ago it is indisputably true that in recent years they have been devoting increasing efforts and considerable resources (=a great deal of wonga and man-hours) to making a significant dent in the problem. Good to see.
Being pwned by one's Kenwood. Oh the humiliation, oh the ignominy!
"I think we have to go to a model where we assume that the adversary is in our networks. It's on our machines, and we've got to operate anyway."
That feels intuitively like sound common sense. However, the devil (as always) is in the detail. Are they talking about systems which allow them to track the "enemy's" presence within the system and thereby control what he knows (or ensuring that what he gets access to is not quite as useful/accurate as he thinks it is) or are they talking "hardened" areas within the system which they believe they can succeed in keeping him out of? Or are they thinking of a combination of these types of strategy? Anybody got any suggestions?
We see the same mindset at work when reviewers/pundits give the Android OEMs the benefit of their enormous wisdom. Along the lines of "in order to compete with Apple they have to significantly undercut Cupertino on price whilst at the same time compete on hardware and build-quality". For some reason I cannot help feeling that that advice has somewhat limited utility!
........... just involved semi-aquatic quadrupeds and heavy-calibre rifles."
For some reason that sounds even more perverse, or do I mean perverted?
..............purchasing decisions are informed by whether or not they can play "Angry Birds"? I think that I shall refrain from commenting further.

Carlsbad Music Festival founder Matt McBane returns to his hometown this week for a concert by his Brooklyn-based band, Build. The indie-classical quintet is celebrating next the March 29 release of its second CD, "Place:" ---- a nine-track, hourlong album.
The group exclusively performs composer/violinist McBane's compositions, described by Time Out New York as "genre-traversing mix of chamber-music decorum, rootsy twang and pop-fueled drive."
McBane talked about the new CD, Build and what's next for the Carlsbad Music Festival in an interview via email on March 21.
Question: In reading about the new album, I wonder whether "Place:" was composed as a complete piece, or is it a collection of individual pieces?
Answer: It was composed as individual pieceswith an evolving sense of the entire album. I wrote the individualpieces with the idea that they would end up being part of the albumand where they would go. Once I had several of the pieces written,the existing ones started leading the way for the new ones as Ibecame aware of what the album needed in different places. Thetrack order stayed flexible through the rehearsal and recordingprocess as I learned which pieces worked well next to each other.In the end, I arranged pieces in three "chapters" of three trackseach that has a certain dramatic arc and conceptual and emotionalflow.
Q: It sounds like your group has carved out its own niche in New York. Is "indie-classical" the beginning of a new wave of modern composition?
A: There actually is an emerging"indie-classical" scene in New York. Many of the people are friendsof mine with similar musical backgrounds: classical training butactive in rock genres and finding ways to merge their musicalinfluences. It does seem like some kind of generational shift inthat my generation seems to be oriented towards bringing differentinfluences and genres together in one project as opposed to keepingthem separate. Our record label, New Amsterdam Records, is a goodplace to start looking for people working in this mode.
This like-minded group of musicians and friends was actually a major reason why I moved to New York in the first place, and the profile of the scene has seemed to grow a lot in the ensuing years. It seems there is actually enough critical mass and attention that you could legitimately call it a scene. I think Build makes sense in this context, and our music shares characteristics with other bands on the scene. Our music has plenty of its own idiosyncrasies that are reflective of the band members' backgrounds and personalities, and of my compositional style. So, I'd say we do make sense in the context of the scene, but our music occupies its own little niche.
Q: Your group has been together for four years now. How have the dynamics of the group changed?
A: Well, we're a lot tighter as a band and Ithink we've developed more of a sound after years of playingtogether. In short, we've gotten better.
Q: Tell me about the piece "Dissolve." In the liner notes, you say it was inspired by your experiences in San Diego music clubs.
A: When I was in high school, I was real activein going to all-ages punk shows around San Diego, and it was one ofmy many formative musical experiences. In the first part of"Dissolve," I use riffs that sound like the stuff I was listeningto then, although they are translated to Build's sound andinstrumentation.
Q: Are you still getting out to Carlsbad very often to work and visit family?
A: Yes, I am writing from Carlsbad right now. Icome out quarterly to work on the Carlsbad Music Festival and stayfor an extended period of time at the end of the summer making thefestival happen.
Q: What's new with the festival?
A: After the huge success of last year'sVillage Music Walk (when musicians performed outdoors in CarlsbadVillage), we are moving the entire festival to the village. Thiswill give a lot more options of venues and allow us to add manymore concerts and expand the scope of the music we present. Theentire festival will now be walkable and much more festival-like.I'm really excited about this move as the village has always beenmy favorite part of Carlsbad. It'll be Sept. 23-25. We'll be readyto announce the artists later this spring.

The present invention relates to geometrical measuring systems for determining the geometrical precision of numerically controlled machine tools.
Machine tools are tested to determine their true operating values and their geometrical precision by means of standardized and comparable measuring methods before being placed in operation and thereafter periodically. The accepted and controlled methods used, e.g., for the geometrical precision, are set forth as measurement and test specifications and standards. These standards are mandatory and provide a uniform measurement and test procedure such that the results of measurements from different sources can be compared.
Typical standards are the German provisional standard DIN 8601 "Acceptance Conditions For Machine Tools For Cutting Metals", the guidelines of the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure VDI, and the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Qualitat DGQ which, in guideline No. 3441, defines the bases for the "Statistical Testing Of The Working And Positioning Accuracy Of Machine Tools". Other standards in this field are the United States National Aerospace Standard NAS 985 "Uniform Alignment Tests" and NAS 979 "Uniform Cutting Tests". A third standard known on a worldwide basis is the draft international standard DIS of the International Organisation for Standardization ISO, published as ISO/DIS 3070/0 "Test Conditions For Boring and Milling Machines With Horizontal Spindle--Testing The Accuracy (General Introduction)".
These conventional methods use a number of different specifications and standards for determining the actual states of machine tools, including the following for machine acceptance and for checking the geometrical precision or accuracy of the machine tool:
(1) Measurement of the individual machine components, e.g. by laser interferometers, electronic spirit levels, autocollimators, etc. However, such devices are complicted and expensive to obtain, operate and maintain. They also fail to provide details of the spatial error field, and thus, of all the component errors of the machine tool, because all the component errors cannot be measured simultaneously.
(2) Manufacture of test workpieces on the machine tool to be tested and subsequent measurement of this test piece on a measuring machine. This indirect method often fails to provide a clear and unambiguous indication of the relationship between the error on the test workpiece and the cause of the error. The conclusion drawn is often ambiguous. Also, the superimposing of the effects of the machine tool caused by variations in the workpiece, tool materials and tool state complicate the testing method.
(3) Measurement of test workpieces on machine tools, which are fixed in the machine tool in place of a workpiece. Probes or sensors working in various dimensions are used in place of the tool, and their deflections during operations are measured. A calculation employing the machine tool coordinates permits a quantitative determination of variations in the geometrical accuracy of the machine tool. This procedure obviates the problem of material variations and variations in the state of the tool. However, problems arise in coorelating the deflections on the sensor or probe with the coordinates of the machine tool. Generally, the machine tool coordinates must be manually incorporated.
If a machine tool has one or more geometrical errors or faults, it will not produce an exact circular curve. The divergence of the machine tool from the ideal geometry is indicated by variations from the circular shape. The circular shape test provides satisfactory information of the machine tool precision in one plane. If a sensor is used in the measurement on a machine tool, the influence or effect of the manufacturing process, ie.e, the interaction between material and tool is eliminated. However, the problem is incorporating the machine tool coordinates into the evaluation is still present. Here again, such coordinates generally must be manually associated in a very timeconsuming manner with the sensor coordinates.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for simply, rapidly and directly testing, on a machine tool, the geometrical precision of numerically controlled machine tool and measuring devices by measuring the divergence from a desired circular shape.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for determining the geoemetrical precision of numerically controlled machine tool and measuring devices which reduce the possibility of error during the measurement and increase the reliability of the results.
The foregoing objects are basically obtained by a method for determining geometrical precision of numerically controlled machine tool apparatus or measuring apparatus, comprising the steps of arranging a standard in a plane including the path along which a tool of the apparatus moves, and detecting the standard with a sensor which is moved by the apparatus in at lest two different directions in that plane. The measurements obtained from said sensor are compared with predetermined geometric values stored in control for the apparatus.
The foregoing objects are also basically obtained by an apparatus for determining geometrical precision of numerically controlled machine tool or measuring devices, comprising a standard, a sensor and an analyzer. The standard is arranged in a plane including the path along which the tool of the device moves and is measured by the sensor in different directions in the plane. Signals produced by the sensor are analyzed.
By performing the method and providing the apparatus of the present invention in this matter, machine tools and measuring devices can be easily and quickly tested for geometrical precision directly on the machine tools and measuring devices. Comparison of the sensor signals with preset valves, in the control of the machine tool or measuring device, corresponding to the shape of the standard will provide a clear indication of the errors, without additional analysis.
Other objects, advantages and salient features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses preferred embodiments of the present invention.
Referring to the drawings which form a part of this disclosure:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view in section of a cylindrical standard according to the present invention;
FIG. 2a is a top plan view of the cylindrical standard of FIG. 1 in a four-point sensing operation for determining the center of a circle;
FIG. 2b is a top plan view of a spherical standard in a four-point sensing operation for determining the center of a circle.
FIGS. 3a and 3b graphically illustrate the measuring system according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is an example of a plot obtained using the method and apparatus of the present invention for a path-controlled machine tool;
FIG. 5 is an example of a plot obtained on a machine tool controlled point-by-point; and
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the system of the present invention.
The cylindrical standard 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2a for the method of the present invention has an external diameter DN. The base plane 31 on at least one end face of the right cylindrically shaped part properly orients the standard relative to the machine tool movement such that the circular transverse cross section of the standard lies in the plane of movement of the tool of the machine tool being tested. FIG. 2b shows a spherical standard 30a.
As illustrated in FIG. 3a, an auxiliary circular path H, corresponding to the standard, is defined and is used as a desired path for determining errors in a machine tool movement plane. The center of auxiliary circle H can be determined by four sensing operations 1 to 4 using a sensor, e.g. a 2D sensor, as shown graphically in FIG. 2. The coordinate system shown extends in the selected movement plane of the machine tool to be measured. The diameter of the auxiliary circle H is 2�Ro, and the diameter of the standard is DN =2�RN, while the center of both circles is congruent. The coordinates of the points on the auxiliary circle H either are stored in a computer as data, or are successively produced by a cooresponding program during the measurement operation.
FIGS. 3a and 3b show the relationships between the auxiliary circle and the standard with a sensing ball 11 (FIG. 3a) and by an X-Y plotter 20 (FIG. 3b). Sensor deflection ΔR generates a circular plot ΔR20, which plot contains the mechanical and electrical amplification or gain factors VTOT determining the graphical magnitude. The relationship is defined as follows:
ΔR20 =ΔR�VTOT =(e.g.)ΔR�Vsensor �Vplotter
In the present system, three independent coordinate systems which must be considered and correlated for performing the method:
(a) the coordinates of the machine tool Xo, Yo, Zo
(b) the coordinates of the sensitivity directions of the 2D sensor U10, V10, and
(c) the coordinates on the plotter U20, V20
By proper alignment of the standard on the machine tool, base plane 31 cooresponds with a possible movement plane of the machine tool. The desired circular movement, in a plane, of the machine tool is determined by the standard and is followed by the sensing mechanism which converts the movement to electrical signals.
In connection with a standard sensed on its outer surface, the method is explained in individual steps and in conjunction with FIGS. 3a and 3b.
A desired circular path of diameter φ=2�Ro, corresponding to the auxiliary circular path is defined for the machine tool to be tested. The radii Ro and Rwz (tool radius) fed into the numerical control NC can be determined from the following relationships:
Ro =RN +RT -SA; Rwz =0 (1a)
in which RN is the radius of the cylindrical standard, RT is the radius of the sensing ball, and SA is the desired deflection of the sensing ball.
The following relationships apply for standards sensed from the inside:
Ro =RN -RT +SA; Rwz =0 (1b)
With Ro =RN, the value Rwz can be determined by the following relationship:
Rwz =RT -SA (2)
The desired deflection SA should be approximately half the sensor measuring range and approximately twice the expected divergence from the desired circle. These factors are considered in setting the auxiliary circle.
The standard on the machine tool has its base plane aligned parallel to the desired machine tool movement plane. In this manner, the expected deflections of the sensor are in the desired movement plane.
A sensor, e.g. a 2D sensor, is mounted on the machine tool in place of its tool. The signal outputs of the sensor are fed to an XY-plotter.
Sensing several times, at different points about the cylindrical standard periphery using the sensor, provides values for determining the center of the circular cross section of the standard. The center determined by this procedure is used as the center of the desired circle. The predetermined desired circular path is now covered by the machine tool with the sensor being constantly in contact with the standard.
A fault-free machine tool precisely covers the circular path. At any point along the desired circle, the sensor is deflected radially in a constant manner with the desired deflection SA. Thus, the coordinate plotter, as shown in FIG. 3b, draws a circle with the sensor deflection R or its plot R20. The corresponding gain factors between the actual deflection and the final plot can be determined by multiplying the individual gains according to the following:
Δplot =ΔWZM �VTOT =ΔWZM �i=1 Vi,
in which
ΔWZM =SA� error.
Generally, n equals two to three considering the gains of the sensor, the plotter and any intermediately connected amplifier.
A faulty machine does not precisely cover the circular path. The radial deflections of the sensor, a 2D sensor, in the represented example, do not coincide at all points along the path with the desired deflection. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, there are divergences from the recording circle space RB. The desired circle corresponds to the auxiliary circle H, while the recording base is a circle of a radius equal to the desired sensor deviation (SA) multiplied by the gain but is not connected with the radius of the standard. Following the covering of the circular path, the result is immediately recorded as a report, without using a computer or any special evaluating instrument and without any further connection to the machine tool. The recording base (circle) can be recorded in the same report, if required.
FIG. 4 can now be interpreted to evaluate the positioning inaccuracy of the machine tool, which inaccuracy is displayed as a variation in a repeated measurement. Geometrical errors appear as shape divergences from the circle. Vibrations occurring during the measurement are shown by distortions of the recorded curve.
FIG. 5 shows a curve formed by performing the method of the present invention, on a machine tool controlled on a point-by-point basis. The standard is now sensed in pointwise manner in contrast to the continuous method steps described above. For example, a NC or NCN program is produced on the machine tool to be tested, which program permits movement of the sensor to the measurement points in collision-free manner. This is followed by movement to the individual points in the NC or NCN program, while the sensor is in contact with the cylindrical standard at the corresponding points.
The pointwise recording of the diagram is obtained by lowering the plotter stylus. Generally, coordinate plotters have no input to the stylus control system. The lowering of the stylus onto the paper and the raising of the stylus from the paper preferably take place automatically at each measuring point. By means of the NC control system, a suitable port is connected to the stylus control system of the plotter so that a point plot is automatically produced.
The plot of FIG. 5 is somewhat broader than that of FIG. 4. In FIG. 5, central circle is designated zero and two further circles represent a � scale of 10 μm. The circle portions 1 to 3 represent areas, which have to be specifically interpreted. Three different test measurements are shown in superimposed form. FIG. 5 shows an exemplified proposal for a measurement report in connection with a machine test using the method according to the invention.
During the measurements, there is long position seeking in portions 1, 2 and passing over portion 3. It is also possible to detect during the recording that, on starting, the machine is moved in the direction of the workpiece by a distance of 50 to 100 μm. The shape error is clearly evident by the elliptical actual curve.
FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of the apparatus for performing the method according to the present invention. The mechanically measured quantity M is converted in a sensor 111 with sensing ball 11 into a coordinatedependent electrical signals Ax and Ay. Deflection signals Ax, Ay are further processed in internal circuit S and passed to the deflection display 40 and to a plotter 20. The plotter is set such that no deflection is recorded when the sensor is in the inoperative state, i.e., the stylus is at the origin of a four-quandrant coordinate system. The recording base, together with the coordinate system can already be printed on a test report produced for the plotter. The origin is set on the xy plotter and the circular shape is measured.
While various embodiments have been chosen to illustrate the invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
