invn is your answer
Yes, i believe INVN has a braoder, more complete solution for smartphones. Having said that, I didn't buy MEMS for their smartphone business. I am more excited about their new flow sensor. Maybe I am stupid, but I think that's where the profitable growth is coming from.I actually did ask MEMS investor relations their viewpoint on INVN. The IR rep said "we don't see them much". That is either a lie, or just plain ignorant (the later I think).
What are the advantages of the INVN sensors? Is the decision simply price?
The drop is probably due in part to this statement in their 10-Q...We have been advised by Samsung that it is forecasting decreased sales of the smartphone models in which our sensor is included, while sales of newer Samsung smartphones that do not include our magnetic sensor are increasing. As a result of this, and related inventory corrections by Samsung, we expect that our net sales to Samsung will decrease by 50% or more in the second quarter of 2012. They have two big customers, one being Samsung, which means that their sales could drop by $5M or more next quarter.
Who did Samsung go with for the sensors in the phones that are ramping up?
Look at the insider transactions.

Dating back to 1840, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic is said to be the oldest professional orchestra in the UK but that doesn't prevent it from having a baton on the pulse of contemporary education.
Its 2009 concert programme for key stages 2 and 3 introduced young people to a worldwide selection of work on an environmental theme, ranging from En Bateau by Debussy to Carnavalito, a traditional Ecuadorian piece.
The concerts are filmed with cameras positioned to home in on individual musicians and instruments, enabling young people to study the music, the emotion of the playing and the technique, explains Peter Garden, director of learning and engagement.
"Young people get inspired by seeing the best footballers and it's the same for young musicians," he says. "Seeing [principal conductor] Vasily Petrenko in full swing is quite an experience for anyone but particularly for a 14-year-old just starting to get interested in music."

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 67 reviews
Incredibly beautiful resort, extremely calm and relaxing! We unfortunately only had time to stay here for two nights, we for sure wished we could have stayed longer. We stayed in five 4 and 5 star hotels in the Krabi/Phuket area during our visit and this resort was our favourite! The rooms or apartments were very spacious, came with a modern design and had an own private pool. Breakfast selection was great, the spa was of high quality, roomservice was fast and the restaurant served tasty dishes. The location was excellent, close to three beautiful and less crowded beaches. Can't say anything negative, we will come back here for our next visit to Thailand!
Unparalleled privacy, having been upgraded to a duplex 2 bed villa, with luxurious pool, garden, bathrooms, kitchen and living room. Only downside was unpleasant (ill-lit and lacking pedestrian facilities) walk to beach.
great hotel
Very quiet, nice private villa with pool, although the pool is small but good for my baby.
Had a wonderful time at The Residence. Villa was absolutely stunning and gigantic! Could have had 10 people stay there! Air conditioning was icy cold, pool was enormous and crystal clear, gardens were beautiful and housekeeping were terrific.

ASUS P5WD2-e Premium
- Reliable, Lots of options
- Costly
Bottom Line
An ideal choice for the enthusiast user.
Price$ 399.00 (AUD)
If you enjoy tinkering and getting the best performance from your hardware, then this premium board from ASUS will delight. It's based on Intel's 975X chipset and it natively supports DDR2 memory up to 800MHz - providing good headroom for overclocking. The board will work with Pentium D and Pentium Processor Extreme Edition CPUs and it has support for next-generation 65nm (nanometre) CPUs, too.
Cooling of the board's components is well thought out. Heat sinks reside on the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets, as well as on the fast-switching transistors around the CPU socket area. ASUS also implements its Stack Cool 2 technology, which dissipates heat from critical components through the circuit board itself.
This is the most reliable Intel board we have seen in recent tests, even with the ASUS non-delay overclocking feature enabled. Our tests finished a few seconds faster with this feature turned on, which adjusts the CPU speed depending on the system load. You can adjust speeds and voltages manually, too. The CPU parameter recall feature automatically kicks in if your system becomes unusable during overclocking, and restores your settings without you having to reset the CMOS.
The graphics card levers make the removal of large graphics cards awkward, but hardware installation is a breeze. Likewise, we had no problems with any of the board's drivers or settings. That's impressive considering we installed a brand new Extreme Edition 955 CPU and two ATI Radeon X1900XT cards in CrossFire configuration.
Connectivity includes a complete set of legacy ports as well as an external, hot-pluggable Serial ATA (SATA) port.

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.

Is there anything more deliciously intoxicating than the smell of freshly brewed espresso? It's often the first smell that hits you when you walk into a coffee shop – it's warm, inviting, and promising of what's often a much-needed caffeine boost. You're not alone if you have assumed that having a fresh brewed espresso in your own home is out of the question. You've probably had the assumption that the machine itself is unbelievably expensive and the process is too complicated to attempt. Fortunately, both assumptions are incorrect, and it's now easier than ever to enjoy quality espresso from your own kitchen.
There are many models of espresso machines, and each has its own benefits. It probably goes without saying that the more expensive models will make the highest quality drink with as few steps as possible. If espresso is something you are truly passionate about, and would like to own a commercial machine in your own home, you can easily make this happen. Some of the best machines, for example, have up to 12 programmed specialty drinks, including lattes and cappuccinos. Sleek black and durable stainless steel machines are just like the ones you'd expect to see in a coffee house, but on a smaller scale to suit the confines of your own kitchen. The simple touch of a button will create your favorite specialty brew. The settings can be catered to your taste to such an extent that you'll feel as though you've walked into your local shop and asked for "the usual." Some espresso machines have an interactive screen that helps address any cleaning or maintenance issues, making both of those things a breeze. You'll enjoy scrolling through the many options with the user-friendly screen panels.
If you happen to be a little shorter or time and space, there are scaled-back versions of the industrial espresso machines that are more catered to your lifestyle. Some of these compact, affordable machines use touchscreen panel technology paired with a multi-level conical grinders to produce a heavenly brew. They also have a variety of features, like adjusting the strength of your beverage and using ground coffee or coffee pods. With some espresso as light as 7lbs, these machines will make for a convenient choice to those who have more limited space in the kitchen, or who simply prefer a smaller model.
One of the biggest benefits of having your own espresso machine is the option of your favorite coffee beverage right from your home. On busier mornings where taking a trip to the nearest coffeehouse isn't always an option, you'll be delighted when you don't have to sacrifice the best part of your morning routine. Another benefit of having your own espresso machine is a financial one. Those who are passionate about coffee and espresso know that going even a day without it can be a let down. It is the unfortunate truth that espresso drinks happen to be more expensive than your average cup of joe. While four dollars spent every day might not seem to be much, in the long run, that can add up to nearly $1,500 in one year. Therefore, purchasing an espresso machine is an investment that can ultimately save you both time and money.
The espresso machines themselves also come with several benefits. Most models have an eco-friendly mode, called the Energy Save Mode, that will eliminate unnecessary energy costs. Some models also have a Zero-Energy Switch, which will turn off the espresso machine once it has made the beverage. Another convenient feature is the filtration system. It seems only fitting that a great coffee drink should be made with the filtered, high quality water, and this is true. Fortunately, instead of worrying about having to purchase or use filtered water, there is a water care system built into espresso machines to guarantee that even tap water is brought to the highest possible purity.
In short, there are many reasons why investing in an espresso machine for your home can be a wonderful decision. You will be able to enjoy your favorite coffee drink right out of your kitchen and you can end save money on commercial coffee costs by investing in your own machine. Purchase an espresso machine today and start enjoying these delicious benefits.

1. Field of the Invention
Cutlery--tool driving or impacting tool for severing or tearing and removing the core or a plug from a piece of fruit, vegetable or pastry.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various prior art devices for removing the pit from a piece of fruit such as a cherry are known in the art. Behr U.S. Pat. No. 1,390,977 illustrates one such device. A dish shaped receptacle having a hole in the bottom holds the fruit while spring-operated solid plunger is released to expel the pit out through the hole in the receptacle. Parent U.S. Pat. No. 2,213,015 discloses a combination device for coring, peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables. The cutting edge is sufficiently angled to also serve as a peeler.
The problem apparent in the prior art is the difficulty in removing only part of the core of a piece of fruit such as an apple. Stuffed apples, for example, require only that the center area containing the seeds need be removed, leaving the edible portion of the apple to be eaten and a cavity for holding the stuffing ingredients. The prior art devices are not able to cleanly remove only a partial core from the apple to be stuffed. This need was recognized by the inventor, which resulted in the invention disclosed in this specification.
The invention is entitled an apple corer since it is normally used to completely or partially remove the core of an apple. The core which contains the seeds and the inedible part of the apple is initially removed thereby eliminating this nuisance. After decoring, the apple can be eaten as is or further cut into pieces and added to salads or the like.
It is to be understood that the invention has other applications other than that of removing the core from an apple. For example, other similar types of fruit or vegetables can be decored in like fashion. The invention could also be used to create cavities in various types of pastries or cakes by inserting the cutter into the item and removing the resulting plug. Thereafter the cavity or hole could be filled with a filling such as whipped cream or frosting.
The invention has four separate pieces, each of which are fabricated from a plastic material by an injection molding process. The first piece is the cutting tube which bores into the apple. It is a hollow tube with tapered cutting teeth at the proximal end of the tube. The tube also has a longitudinal slit for guiding the reciprocal movement of the core remover, which is the second piece of the invention. The core remover is a hollow cylinder having a diameter large enough to slide along the outside circumference of the cutting tube. Within the core remover is a smaller concentric cylinder which is rigidly held in position by a brace connecting the two cylinders. The smaller core reciprocates along the inside of the cutter. The face of this cylinder has two prongs for impaling the face of the apple and its core. The handle is the third piece of the invention. It is slid over the distal end of the cutting tube. The handle is used to grip the invention and to apply force at that end to drive the cutter through the longitudinal center of the apple. The fourth part of the invention is the compression plug which passes through the handle and into the distal end of the cutter. The plug has an annular groove just underneath its cap for mating with the distal lip of the cutter and the annular ring found inside of the distal end of the handle. The plug is pressed in the cutter until these three rings mate which in effect causes the plug to "snap" into place.
The corer can be inserted through the longitudinal center of the apple so that the teeth just pass the seed pouch of the apple. Then the prongs of the core remover are forced through the skin of the apple. The entire assembly is then rotated or oscillated while holding the apple stationary. This causes the partial core of the apple to shear off where the tip of the cutter is located. The corer and partial apple core or plug are then removed. The result is an apple with a cavity now ready for stuffing with other ingredients and then baked.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide for a thin-walled apple corer having a handle at one end for easy insertion and penetration of the apple for removing the core.
It is another object of this invention to provide for an apple corer which can remove part of the core thereby creating a cavity in the apple for stuffing it.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide for an apple corer which has a core remover slideable in the corer for ejecting the plug of the apple core from the device after the core has been removed from the apple.

FIG. 11 is a fragmentary close-up of the annular groove of the compression plug as shown in FIG. 10.
FIG. 1 discloses the apple corer showing the four components in an exploded orthographic projection. The four pieces are the cutting tube 10, the core remover 30, the handle 50 and the compression plug 70. As can be seen by FIG. 1, the cutting tube has a longitudinal slit 12 which provides a guide path for the reciprocal movement of the core remover 30. There is an interior lip 14 which is a concentric ring, located around the inside of the distal end of the cutting tube 10 and its function will be discussed in conjunction with the compression plug 70. The cutting tube means has a bore which results from the structure of the cutting tube which is disclosed as an elongate hollow tube 10. There are cutting means 16 at the proximal end of the tube which is disclosed as a plurality of serrated teeth extending from the proximal end of the tube and tapering to sharp edges. The slot 12 is open-ended at the distal end of the tube 10. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 indicate the thin walled structure of the cutting tube and also the tapered edges of the serrated teeth 16.
The core remover 30 is shown as a front elevational view in FIG. 5 and a cross-sectional view in FIG. 6. The core remover 30 comprises a hollow cylinder having an annular flange 32 around the edge of its proximal end. There is also a smaller concentric cylinder 34 axially placed within the diameter of the core remover 30 and held rigidly in place by a connective brace 36. The core remover 30 and the smaller concentric cylinder have the same axis. This combination forms a C-shaped opening 38. The C-shaped opening allows the core remover 30 to slide in a reciprocal fashion over the wall of the cutter 10. That is, the C-shaped opening is slightly larger than the cross-section of the cutter 10. The connecting brace 36 is narrow enough to fit into the longitudinal slot 12. This provides a guide way for the core remover to slide back and forth along the cutter. There are 2 prongs 40 and 42 extending from the base of the concentric cylinder 34. These prongs are not essential to the operation of the corer but assist whenever the apple has to be partially decored, which will be explained later in the operation on the device.
FIG. 2 shows a side elevational view of the corer with part of the tube cut away to show the cooperation between the core remover 30 and the tube 10. As can be seen, the C-shaped opening 38 is a spacing between the smaller cylinder 34 and the core remover 30. This spacing is slightly larger than the thickness of the cutter's wall.
The third piece of the invention is the handle 50. The handle 50 fits over the distal end of the tube 10. The purpose of this handle is to provide a knob or grip for the person using this invention to core the longitudinal center of the apple. The handle 50 has an annular flange 52 at its distal end which also assists in gripping the device. There is an annular ring 54 projecting from the interior wall of the handle 50 which prevents the handle from sliding past the distal end of the tube 10.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the handle 50 with the annular ring 54 clearly disclosed. It can be seen the handle is a hollow, circular cylinder having a flange 52 on its exterior and annular ring 54 on its interior. The diameter of this annular ring 54 is identical to the diameter of the lip 14 of the tube 10 and they are slightly smaller than the interior diameter of the tube 10. The handle further includes a spline 58 running axially on its interior wall which has a width slightly smaller than the width of the longitudinal slot 12 of the tube. This spline mates with the slot for preventing rotation of the handle relative to the tube 10. That is, the handle cannot rotate about the distal end of the tube 10. This is provided so that when the user of this device turns the handle 50, the tube will also turn.
The fourth piece of this invention is the compression plug 70 which is shown in a front elevational view in FIG. 10 and a cross-sectional view in FIG. 9. The plug 70 is comprised of a cylindrical member and a cap 72 at its distal end. The diameter of the cylindrical member of the plug is slightly larger than the opening or diameter of the annular ring 54 of the handle 50. The compression plug can be frictionally pressed through this annular ring and accordingly the respective diameters are very close to one another. There is more clearly disclosed in FIG. 11 an annular groove 74 which is on the proximal side of the cap 72. This groove is wide enough to accomodate both the annular ring 54 of the handle 50 and the lip 14 of the tube. The compression plug 70 is forced through the annular ring 54 and all the way down into the bore of the tube 10 until the cap 72 lodges in the seat 56 of the handle. After the plug is snapped into place, the annular groove 74 holds both the lip 14 and the ring 54 as is clearly shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2. This mating causes the cap to be secured in the bore of the cutter and also to keep the handle 50 attached to the distal end of the cutter.
Each piece of the corer is made by an injection molding process from acetal resin, polyethylene or other plastic material. In assembling the apple corer, the tube 10 receives the core remover 30 by inserting the wall through the C-shaped opening 38. Next comes the handle 50 which aligns its spline 58 into the longitudinal slot and slipped over the distal end of the cutter. Lastly the compression plug is pressed through the hole in the handle until it snaps into place. Now the core remover 30 has a limited reciprocal movement between the end of the slot 12 and the face of the handle. The prongs 40 and 42 extend slightly beyond the teeth 16 when the remover is at its maximum movement.
In operation, for right handed people, the circumference of the apple is gripped by the left hand so that the longitudinal center is lined up with the longitudinal center of the cutter. The user of the device grips the handle 50 with the right hand. The teeth 16 are pressed against the end of the apple and the corer is oscillated by the right hand while exerting pressure on the end of the cutter. This reciprocal motion or oscillation causes the teeth 16 to saw into the apple. Further the thin wall construction of the cutter allows a very easy passage into the heart of the apple without too much resistance. As the serrated teeth 16 begin to break through the opposite end of the apple, the user simply grasps the mid-section of the apple and presses onward with the core remover until the corer exits. Thereafter the apple is simply slid off of the cutter 10 and the core remover 30 is slid down by grasping the flange 32 which in turn forces the core or the plug left in the bore to be ejected. This usage does not require the prongs 40 and 42.
In preparing baked stuffed apples, partial removal of the core is required, since a hole running through the entire longitudinal center would allow the stuffing to ooze out of the apple and into the base of the baking pan. The present invention provides a tool or device to remove a partial core from the apple. This is accomplished in the same manner described in removing the core but that the length of the plug to be removed will be predetermined by marking a length of the cutter 10 shorter than the length of the apple. Then the device is inserted into the center of the core until the cutter penetrates to the pre-determined depth. Thereafter, the core remover 30 is slid down so that the two prongs impale the upper ridge of the apple near the stem. With the core prongs in place, the device is rotated by turning the handle. This causes the core to be sheared off at the base where the serrated teeth are. This is so because the prongs cause the partial apple core to turn with the device while the apple is held stationary. After the user feels no more resistance in the turning of the device, the device is removed from the apple and the partial core is simply ejected as previously stated. Thereafter the cavity left in the apple can be stuffed with various ingredients and baked to create stuffed apples.
This plug or partial core removing ability of the present invention could be adapted for removing the heart of a pastry or plugs from a cake, thereby allowing a filling or frosting to be inserted. Furthermore, this device could be used with other types of fleshy fruits which have no stony pit in the center.
Whereas the present invention has been shown and described herein in what is conceived to be the best mode contemplated, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention which is therefore not to be limited to the details disclosed herein but is to be afforded the full scope of the invention.

DL0191/55T Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of DL0191in our 2015, and 2016 Diesel range.
The unisex Diesel model makes no distinction between men and women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square frame is a classical shape, highlighting the straightforwardness of the personality. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The DL0191 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Havana is a particularly warm, "spotted" shade of brown and can be found in almost every collection. The colour dates back to the origin of eyewear, when frames were made of turtle shells. Havana makes your face appear softer and can be ideally combined with autumn and spring colours. In lenses the term "burgundy" describes a particular shade of red. Coloured lenses mainly fulfil a fashionable purpose, because they distort the colour environment and are therefore only partly suitable for everyday use. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Diesel on the same day. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get DL0191 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Brandedby Alissa Quart
Generation Y has grown up in an age of the brand, bombarded by name products. In Branded, Alissa Quart illuminates the unsettling new reality of marketing to teenagers, as well as the quieter but no less worrisome forms of teen branding: the teen consultants who work for corporations in exchange for product; the girls obsessed with cosmetic surgery who will do anything to look like women on TV; and those teens simply obsessed with admission into a name-brand college. We also meet the pockets of kids attempting to turn the tables on the cocksure corporations that so cynically strive to manipulate them. Chilling, thought-provoking, even darkly amusing, Branded brings one of the most disturbing and least talked about results of contemporary business and culture to the fore-and ensures that we will never look at today's youth the same way again.
Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagersby Alissa Quart
Alissa Quart takes the reader into the disturbing world of teen marketing, showing how they are taught to market to each other and where adults build careers out of insinuating their way into friendships with teens in order to monitor what they wear, eat, listen to and talk about.
Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagersby Alissa Quart
The current generation of American youth is the most heavily marketed to in history. Journalist Quart argues that this marketing reinforces teens' fears about social standing and makes them believe that "the only way to participate in the world is to turn oneself into a corporate product. " Fortunately, she observes, teens also display remarkable abilities to subvert the corporate agenda, whether through everyday slang or through the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) ethic. She details both processes in a journalistic style. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
Hothouse Kidsby Alissa Quart
Alissa Quart's deeply disturbing account looks at the intensely competitive and frenzied lives of America's children. Travelling the country and talking to scores of parents, teachers and children she looks at the overhyped world of baby edutainment and 'better baby' early education programmes, takes the lid off the world of IQ testing and child competitions (from Scrabble and chess to child preaching), and explores the lives of particular children who have been identified as prodigies u from a four-year-old painter whose works sell for $300,000 to an eight-year-old professional skateboarder who is backed by nine corporate sponsors. And she asks the questions that many parents find themselves asking. Where should parents and teachers draw the line? How do we establish when children are being under-stimulated or over-stretched? And can the hothousing of children lead to irreparable problems later in life? Hothouse Kids is a thought-provoking, often shocking exploration of a subject that is only too worryingly topical.
Republic of Outsidersby Alissa Quart
Republic of Outsiders is about the growing number of Americans who disrupt the status quo: outsiders who seek to redefine a wide variety of fields, from film and mental health to diplomacy and music, from how we see gender to what we eat. They include professional and amateur filmmakers crowd-sourcing their work, transgender and autistic activists, and Occupy Wall Street's "alternative bankers." These people create and package new identities in a practice cultural critic Alissa Quart dubs "identity innovation": they push the boundaries of who they can be and what they can do, even turning the forces of co-optation to their benefit.In a brilliant and far-reaching account, Quart introduces us to individuals who have created new structures to keep themselves sane, fulfilled, and, on occasion, paid. This deeply reported book shows how and why these groups now gather, organize, and create new communities and economies. Without a middleman, freed of established media, and highly mobile, unusual ideas and cultures are able to spread more quickly and find audiences and allies.Republic of Outsiders is a critical examination of those for whom being rebellious, marginal, or amateur is a source of strength rather than weakness.
