I don't want to wake up, wake up again with the world the same as she was back then.
I know I'll fall over and over and you'll pick me, you'll pick me up.you'll pick me up.Night lead me astray.Night lead the way.
...Reaching through the glass i see we're all the same. We want are lives to live and our heart to race.i wonna feel that beat inside my soul. I dont need to, dont need to know.Night lead me astray.......
No maps, no ties.No maps no ties.
Let's leave surprises as surprises, please don't explain this feeling I feel as she moves again. Twilight cover take us away we're only here for a day. Night lead me astray......
No maps no ties, no words no lies, no tears no ties..........
Night lead me astay.
Only here for a day.
Night lead me astray

This invention generally relates to identification systems and more specifically to an air coil antenna and a method for making the same.
There is a great need for devices or apparatuses which make it possible to identify or detect objects over a certain distance without making contact. In addition, a need exists to be able to change the data stored in, or operating characteristics of, these devices or apparatuses (e.g., "program" the devices or apparatuses).
It is, for example, desirable to request, over a certain distance, identifications which are uniquely assigned to an object. These identifications could be stored in the device or apparatus so that, for example, the object may be identified. A determination may also be made as to whether or not a particular object exists within a given reading range.
As another example, physical parameters such as temperature or pressure can be interrogated directly even when direct contact to the object is not possible. A device or apparatus of the type desired can, for example, be attached to an animal which can then always be identified at an interrogation point without direct contact.
There is also a need for a device which, when carried by a person, permits access checking whereby only persons whose responder unit returns certain identification data to the interrogation unit are allowed access to a specific area. In this case the safeguarding of the data transfer is a very essential factor in the production of such devices.
A further example of a case in which such a device is needed is the computer controlled industrial production in which, without the intervention of operating personnel, components are taken from a store, transported to a production location and there assembled to give a finished product. In this case a device is required which can be attached to the individual components so that the components can be specifically detected in the spares store and taken therefrom.
Several transponder arrangements have been developed. One such transponder arrangement is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,053,774 issued on Oct. 1, 1991, incorporated herein by reference. This patent describes a transponder unit which has a low energy requirement and does not need its own power source.
Each of these systems, as well as others, requires an antenna for each of the interrogation unit and transponder to transmit and receive signals. Therefore, there is a need for antennas with a high quality factor (Q), light weight, and manufacturable at a low cost.
One air coil 10 which has previously been used as an antenna is illustrated in FIG. 1. The air coil 10 is formed from a cylindrical wire 12 which is wound around a core 14, typically an air gap. The prior art air coil 10, however, has a number of problems. For example, these air coils have a lower Q than is desirable. In addition, smaller and lighter antennas are desired.
In one aspect, the present invention provides an air coil. In one application, this air coil can be used as an antenna for a transponder as described in the '774 patent or in other systems such as the ones described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,408,243 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,212, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. In a first embodiment, the air coil is made from a strip of electrically conductive material and an insulating material which overlies the strip. The strip is wound in a coil to form a plurality of windings. The insulating material electrically insulates each of the windings from adjacent ones of the windings.
The air coil antenna of the present invention is particularly useful with applications which require light, compact antennas but also need high performance. One such application is security badges. The security badge could include a card with an air coil of the present invention incorporated into it. A transponder would then be electrically coupled to the antenna and could be physically attached to the card.
An antenna of the present invention provides an advantage over other devices because of the high quality factor or Q. In this context, the Q is defined as a ratio between the imaginary and real components of the impedance. Since the antenna windings are flat, the Q is high because the distributed capacitance is lower than with standard antennas. In addition, the current distribution in one winding gets better.
Further, the skin effects are minimized because the wire strip has a larger surface area than cylindrical wires. As is known, the skin effect is an effect where current only flows at the surface of the conductor at high frequencies instead of through the whole cross section of a conductor as is the case with a DC current.
Another advantage of an air coil using a strip instead of a wire is the improved fill factor. The fill factor is a measure of the volume of conductor as a percent of the volume of the entire air coil (i.e., conductor and insulator). Since the flat strips stack there is less space between conductor windings than in a honeycomb arrangement as would be found in an air coil formed of cylindrical wire. This improvement in fill factor leads to an air coil which is more compact, lighter and thinner.
The above features of the present invention will be more clearly understood from consideration of the following descriptions in connection with accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art air coil;
FIGS. 2a and 2b illustrate a first embodiment air coil of the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates a first apparatus for forming an air coil of the present invention;
FIG. 4 illustrates a second apparatus for forming the air coil of the present invention;
FIGS. 5a-5d illustrate an alternate embodiment coil and the method of forming it;
FIG. 6 illustrates a security badge which may be utilized with the present invention;
FIGS. 7a and 7b illustrate a security badge with an air coil of the present invention integrated therewith; and
FIG. 7c illustrates an alternate embodiment security badge which also includes a Wiegand strip.
Corresponding numerals and symbols in the different figures refer to corresponding parts unless otherwise indicated.
The making and use of the presently preferred embodiments are discussed below in detail. However, it should be appreciated that the present invention provides many applicable inventive concepts which can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the invention, and do not limit the scope of the invention.
The following is a description of the air coil of the present invention. The structure of the device will first be described followed by some of the advantages it affords. A method of forming the air coil will then be described along with a few of the modifications. An example of one of the many specific applications, namely a security badge, which may utilize the system will then be described.
Referring first to FIGS. 2a and 2b, a preferred embodiment air coil 20 is illustrated. The air coil 20 is made from a strip of wire 22 with a substantially rectangular cross section. In a preferred embodiment, the strip 22 is an insulated metal ribbon rather than the standard round wire illustrated in FIG. 1. While copper is the presently preferred material for strip 22, other materials including, but not limited to, aluminum, gold and silver, may be used. As will become clear, magnet wire (i.e., wire coated with a lacquer) may be used. The strip 22 is coiled up as a spiral resulting in a flat spiral wound coil. In other words, the strip 22 is wound in a coil to form a plurality of windings. Insulating material 23 electrically insulates each of the windings from adjacent ones of the windings.
A coil 20 like that illustrated in FIGS. 2a and 2b has excellent RF properties in terms of loss factor (the "Q") due to the low distributed capacitance throughout the coil. This feature is present because each winding layer "sees" only two neighbors, namely the previous turn and the next turn. In a traditional coil 10 (see FIG. 1), this is not the case. Each winding always sees more.
Also, the loss factor is low because the surface area of the copper of the wire conductor 22 is large as compared with a wire with a circular cross section (assuming the same amount of copper for the wire cross sectional area is used). It should be noted that due to the skin effect, the RF current only flows in the wire surface area. Therefore the flatter the wire becomes, i.e., the larger the surface area relative to the cross sectional area, the more efficient use of copper there will be.
Another advantage is that the filling factor in the coil is very good. The filling factor is the ratio of the volume of conductor to the total volume of the air coil. The fill factor is not as high when circular wire 12 is used in air coil 10 since the circles do not fit perfectly into each other. Air gaps between the wire through the coil therefore result. These air gaps, on the other hand, are eliminated in the coil 20 because the flat ribbon 22 can be compressed without any air gaps since flat surfaces abut one another.
A comparison can be made between two coils to demonstrate the advantages of air coil 20 of the present invention. For example, air coil 20 as illustrated in FIG. 2a and 2b can be compared to a traditional wound coil 10 as in FIG. 1. The coil 20 can achieve a quality factor of 90 (i.e., Q=90) with a coil thickness of only 350 μm. The traditional coil, in comparison, requires a thickness of at least twice that to achieve the same Q. In this context, the Q is defined as the imaginary resistance divided by the real resistance or mathematically as ##EQU1## Since the frequency ω is given for any system, the Q can be maximized by increasing the inductance L or reducing the resistance R. Since the wire strip 22 has a larger surface area for current flow, the resistance R is lower for the coil of the present invention.
Two methods of producing the air coil of the present invention will now be described. Referring now to FIG. 3, a sheet of conductive foil 30 (e.g., copper foil) is used as a base material. The conductive foil 30 has an insulating material (not shown) disposed thereon. For example, the insulating material may comprise a lacquer which is coated on one side of the conductive material 30. This foil is sometimes referred to as "magnet wire." In the preferred embodiment the sheet of conductive material 30 is stored on a spool 34.
The foil 30 is rolled off the spool and directed to a cutting device 32. For example, the cutting device 32 may comprise a row of knives separated from each other at fixed distances which will simultaneously cut the foil 30 into ribbons 22a-22n. Although described here is a row of knives, the cutting device 32 may comprise any and all means for cutting the foil 30 into ribbons 22a-22n. For example, the cutting devices 32 may comprise hardened steel or diamond tip material. Any material which is sufficiently hard and will not wear out is desirable.
After the cutting process, each ribbon 22 is wound onto take-up spool 35. The ribbon 22 is wound into a spiral coil as described herein above. The insulating material (not shown) will end up between layers of foil thereby electrically insulating each winding from adjacent windings. In this manner, there will not be any electrical shorts in the coil after the winding process has been completed.
In an embodiment where lacquer is used as the insulating material, the coils 20 are then heated. This heating step causes the lacquer to melt slightly thereby passivating the coil 22 into a fixed self-supporting component. In one embodiment, the heating step may be performed by applying hot air (e.g., between about 130� and 170� C.) for between about 5 and 60 seconds. Of course, however, this heating temperature and time will depend upon the lacquer material used. In an alternate embodiment, the coil can be heated by running a high current through it for a few seconds.
The coils 20 may then be removed from the take-up spool 35. The wire ends may then be pulled out and soldered to the component as required by the specific application.
In an alternate method, illustrated in FIG. 4, a sheet of conductive foil 30 is provided. Rather than providing an insulating coating on the sheet 30, an insulation foil 36 is present as an independent material on a separate roll. The two sheets 30 and 36 are compressed at a pinch roller 38 and rolled into each other. The sheets are then cut with cutting device 32 and formed into the rolls as before.
In an alternate embodiment, the insulation ribbons 23 are cut such that they are wider than the copper ribbons 30 as illustrated in FIG. 5a. As a result, the insulation sheet 23 will "hang-over" compared to the copper sheet 30. When hot air is blown against the plastic overhang after winding, it will melt on the side, thus passivating the coil 20 to a self supporting structure. A portion of a passivated coil 20 is illustrated in FIG. 5b.
FIG. 5c illustrates a first embodiment apparatus for forming the aircoil illustrated in FIGS. 5a and 5b. Roll 30 of conductive material is fed into a cutting device 32 which includes wedge shaped blades such as blade 32a. The foil is then separated into ribbons and compressed with insulating ribbons 23 which are cut from roll 36. The aircoils 22 are then wound onto a takeup spool 35.
FIG. 5d illustrates a second embodiment apparatus for forming the aircoil illustrated in FIGS. 5a and 5b. In this embodiment, two rolls of insulating material 36a and 36b are provided along with a single roll of conductive material 30. The material on both rolls 36a and 36b are cut into ribbons of a selected width while the material on roll 30 is cut into ribbons of a smaller width. Each conductive ribbon 22 is then compressed with an associated strip 23 of insulating material to form the aircoils. The aircoils may be stored on takeup spools 35a and 35b.
As discussed above, the air coil of the present invention can be used as a transponder antenna in an identification system such as the one discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,053,774, incorporated herein by reference. One example of the many applications which can utilize the identification system of the '774 patent, is use with access control such as with a security badge 40 as illustrated in FIG. 6. The air coil of the present invention provides an advantage because it may be integrated with a security badge 40. One such integrated security badge 40 is illustrated in FIG. 7a and in side cross-sectional view in FIG. 7b. A transponder chip 42 is electrically coupled to each of the ends 44a and 44b of the air coil 20. A detailed description of the identification system can be found in the '774 patent which is incorporated herein by reference. As examples, the transponder 42 may be disposed in the center of coil 20 as illustrated in FIG. 7a or in the corner of the badge card 40 as illustrated in FIG. 7c.
A badge 40 with the coil 20 incorporated therein offers an advantage over other security badges because hand-free access is available. In other words, a reader can be attached to a locked door allowing the door to be unlocked without the badge ever being removed from the pocket of an individual holding it. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 7c, badges carrying other access technologies like Wiegand strip 46 or magnetic strip 46 can also carry a transponder simultaneously since there is no interference between technologies.
To form the security badge 40, the coil 20 is wound between flanges and then passivated by heat treatment or using a solvent. A transponder chip 42 is then soldered to the wire ends and placed in the middle of the coil. The whole subassembly is then laminated between plastic layers. One advantage the coil of the present invention offers is that it can be used to make laminated plastic smart card where the whole card is not thicker than 0.79 mm (ISO thickness similar to standard credit cards).
While described herein in an application using security badge 40, it should be noted that the air coil of the present invention can be used with identification systems in a great variety of applications. The transponder 40 can be attached to or embedded in or simply near an object such as the security badge 40. This object can be almost anything imaginable including tires, baggage, laundry, trash containers, keys, vehicles, or even living animals.
While this invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications and combinations of the illustrative embodiments, as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description. It is therefore intended that the appended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.

CSNBayArea.com FRESNO, CA A blistering right uppercut from Aaron Heavy Metal Coley stopped Joey Perez of Clovis in the second round and netted the Hayward resident the Central Pacific Regional middleweight title last Saturday at the Sierra Sport and Racquet Club.Coley, who trains at SFC Boxing Gym on 7th St. in San Francisco, now advances to the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships, which take place June 20-25 in Colorado Springs and serve as the next step toward qualifying for the 2012 Olympics.It feels good to see my hard work pay off, said the 20-year-old southpaw, currently ranked the No. 6 amateur middleweight in the nation. There are so many people out there at the 165-pound weight class at nationals, so I have to take it one fight at a time.After a first round where Coley controlled the pace with his right jab, Perez looked to pressure him in the second; the choice would be at the Clovis natives peril. Following a Perez flurry, the Bay Area fighter took a step back and unleashed the fateful right hand that had his Central Valley foe dazed and confused on the canvas. On shaky ground after rising to his feet midway through the count, Perez was deemed unfit to continue by the referee.I was keeping him off-balance, said Coley of his opponent. He rushed in and he was leaning to the right, so I threw the right uppercut and he walked right into it. After that, he was out.His nickname derived from his nine-to-five job in his fathers scrap yard, Coleys blue-collar work ethic has been evident since moving from Stockton to the Bay Area a year ago with fiance Brittany Wren and two-year-old son Aaron Jr. As soon as I get off work in Hayward every day, I go straight to the gym at SFC, said Coley, who has become a frequent BART passenger. When I get home and whenever Im not training, I spend as much time with my family as I can.Aaron makes a lot of sacrifices, added his trainer, Ben Bautista. Some kids dont come to the gym unless I call them, but I dont have to worry about him. Hes so dedicated that he calls me every day. I love to help this kid because hes humble, hes hungry, and he loves to help himself.If Coley can make it to the semifinals or better next month, he will be assured a spot in the eight-man Olympic Trials in August, a single-elimination tournament that will yield the countrys middleweight representative in the London Games next summer. Coming out of the Bay Area, this is another step up getting closer to the Olympics, said a hopeful Coley. Theres no telling who Ill face next, so I have to adjust in a tournament like that, but Im ready. Im going to keep working in the gym until then.ROUNDUPIn a rematch of their scintillating Golden Gloves regional final in San Francisco, Andy Vences of San Jose PAL booked his ticket to nationals with a decision over Vicente Guzman of Tulare in the 141-pound final. I didnt let him brawl me and stayed off the ropes, said Vences, who added the Central Pacific trophy to an impressive tally that includes the Adidas Tournament and California Golden Gloves titles. I just have to go out there to Colorado Springs, not let the pressure get to me, and do my best.Other Bay Area men who made it to nationals include Eric Altamirano of Concord CYC (132 pounds) and Laron Mitchell of San Franciscos Ring of Fire Gym (201 pounds).Jose Ramirez of Avenal, the top-ranked lightweight in America, did not officially participate in the regionals. However, the Fresno State freshman also advances to Colorado Springs as the defending national champion in the 132-pound division. Ramirez defeated Fresnos Ulises Soriano by decision in a non-tournament bout.Out of the local women to compete last Saturday, Gilroys Elizabeth Rodriguez (106 pounds), Casey Morton of San Mateos B Street Gym (125 pounds), and Theresa Moon of Pacificas BabyFace Gym (152 pounds) advanced to nationals.

I hope this company fails, that every person who works there loses their jobs & homes, and that everyone insured by this company gets in a fatal accident. That about sums it up.Seem harsh? Be a victim of a reckless driver insured by this company.
Let me guess.....you lost your whiplash lawsuit and you blame it on Mercury for having good attorneys.
after reading your trashy rant I am reminded why I don't spend much time on message boards
Most of Mercury's employees don't know the law of tort. The employees just know that they are to fight for their insured and find anyway possible to fault the other driver. If you believe that you were in the right, sue the driver and/or owner of the car so the court could determine liability.
The only point that makes sense is to sue if you truly believe to be in the right.However, why would an insurance company deny liablity on a claim that the insured is liable for?1.)Insurance companies already reserve for claims (well in advance) they expect to pay.2.) If the insured is at fault, their rates go up.3.) If the insured gets hit with a lawsuit, it's less profitable for the insurance company since now they have to employ defense and incur the expense.You must work for an attorney's office.
You probably didn't have any insurance and feel like a really stupid POS!
Very simple, sue if you're not happy. IF YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT, it's easy to take on insurance companies, despite what the lawyer commercials say. IF you're just a whinny bitch, then you live a miserable life anyways.

Introducing L20rk: the Linux Laptop Orchestra
L2Ork's Netbooks run a mixture of off-the-shelf free software and some custom control programs (also free) written especially for the orchestra. Where the Princeton group deployed the Max/MSP software, the L2Ork group uses its free-software doppelganger, Miller Puckette's Pure Data, more affectionately known as Pd. Both Max/MSP and Pd present a graphic interface to their myriad functions, which include numerous synthesis and audio processing routines. Pd is powerful, easy to learn and extensible by its users. This last aspect is of particular importance when designing interfaces usable by performers who may not be literate in either Pd or Linux itself. Pd accommodates a wide variety of I/O devices (such as the Nintendo controllers), includes functions to provide easy access to network connectivity, and supports OSC and MIDI. A further list of Pd's capabilities is beyond the scope of this article, but it must be said that Pd is a "perfect fit" for the laptop orchestra on a budget. The suggested retail price for the closed-source proprietary Max/MSP is a cool $495, while the total cost of Pd is $0.
Pd's integrated graphic components aren't bad (Figure 5), but they are less than shiny, especially when compared with the program's commercial counterpart. However, thanks to Pd's extensibility, the L2Ork group gets to look at some more sophisticated custom GUI components.
Ico Bukvic is no stranger to programming a useful and attractive GUI. While watching the L2Ork performance videos, I thought I recognized a variant of RTmix, a program he wrote when he taught at the University of Cincinnati. RTmix provides visual and audio cues for performers working with computers. It also can schedule other computer-generated activities and events—a handy tool indeed for the laptop ensemble.
I was curious to know what academic disciplines were represented within the group of players. I could assume the presence of at least some musicians, and I expected a few comp-sci types, but I was surprised to learn that in fall 2009 the group consisted of one music major, three majors in music technology and one representative each from biology, theater arts, engineering and political science.
Players without performance backgrounds may be reluctant to "let go" as they learn how to manipulate sound with the Nintendo controllers. As they progress, they lose their self-consciousness and begin to realize that they are exploring new performance techniques. Enthusiasm takes hold as the players learn how to create predictable (and unpredictable) effects by moving the controllers in defined arcs and to definite points in the gestural space. Given the early stage of the modern laptop orchestra, a standard repertoire of performance techniques is still being researched and cataloged. However, it is a goal of rehearsals to ensure that each member of the group is aware that his or her movements have specific outcomes for the piece being played. In the same manner as a traditional instrumentalist, the L2Orkists learn how to play their instruments with the control of a rehearsed technique. In other words, they're not just waving their arms around. Well, actually they are waving their arms around, but every movement is defined and directed. And, that brings us to the role of the conductor.
In a traditional orchestra, the players are led through the score of the music by the conductor. To the untrained eye, conductors may seem to be doing little more than waving their arms around. In fact, conductors are responsible for many musical functions. They need to know the score in intimate detail, to know its parts for every member in the instrumental groups, and have a working knowledge of each instrument and the ability to instruct players in terms specific to their instruments. Conductors are human mixers, the one component of a group who plays no instrument yet commands them all. Conductors are responsible for timbral and amplitude balances, and the interpretation of an entire work is performed according to their conception of how the piece should sound. Every artist has a unique personal interpretive sensibility; thus, we have a multitude of recorded versions of Beethoven's symphonies.
In the laptop orchestra, the conductor's role subsumes traditional functions and adds new possibilities. With the appropriate software, the computers in the ensemble are perfectly capable of performing without a conductor. In point of fact, they can do without the performer too, but that scenario is not of interest at the moment. As you can see in the videos, the L2Ork behaves like a traditional orchestra—that is, the performers play their instruments under the guidance of the conductor. However, other scenarios easily present themselves, and those other possibilities may be of compelling interest to a composer.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Google "Brooklyn's Williamsburg rivals Manhattan in luring wealthy buyers". Xin is mentioned in this financial times article of Oct 4th.
Another article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday (blog). " Next for Chinese Developers: Making It in New York". Greenland buying 70% stake in Atlantis yard project. Xin named in article.
More news found yesterday. Google "Williamsburg Real Estate Prices Closing In On Soho", xin is named again, this time in Brooklyn magazine.
No one can argue that XIN is an unknown gem that has yet to be discovered. The company was named in relation to NY real estate on Bloomberg, in the NY times (blog), the financial times, and now in the Brooklyn mag. Every Wallstreet analyst spefializing in real estate will have heard of it, so why is there no analyst coverage and why does it not trade at book value?
Lol, Marcino, it looks like you bought back in yesterday. Less than 2 mos. ago you were concerned about
the new subs. BTW I think that list you put out was only a partial.
'XIN subsidiaries
Can anyone tell me why they would need an extra shell company for Irvine, Ny, and then another one for 421 Kent Ave? Are they pushing money around between the subsidiaries?'
As Shelly_Showman told me, put Longtop in search box on this board; reading these posts you will understand possibly why it's not trading higher. I'll give you a clue - it has to do with the reputation of the CFO Mr. Gurnee who was also connected with Longtop, a fraudulent company. XIN also opposes a cash verification audit to clear up any doubts about its book value.
Sentiment: Hold
it will soon reach book value, be patient ... with TPG on board + soon news with williamsburg development..the stock has already come along way from historical lows.. buy on any weakness !
we will see 8$ soon ( beg 2014 i think) cheer up ! Mr market votes every day and suddenly decide to weigh...q3 & q4 will be strong ! no analyst coverage beacause brokers can't afford to follow smaller stocks !
Yes, it states: XIN plans to build 200 condos near the waterfront close to where Carlyle is building a hotel and apartments where young professionals can find affordable housing.

DALLAS (AP) - A federal jury ruled Thursday that Papa John's $300 million campaign to convince consumers it makes a better pizza is false and deceptive, and the jury will consider awarding damages to rival Pizza Hut.
The verdict, however, was not a clean sweep for industry leader Pizza Hut. The eight-member jury also found that two of its counter ads to be false and misleading. But the judge expressed doubt that those ads should be punished with damages.
Pizza Hut, which filed the original lawsuit last year before Papa John's countersued, is seeking $12.5 million in damages. U.S. Magistrate William F. Sanderson Jr. set the penalty phase for November 29.
Observers said the verdict's larger effect would be to stop Louisville, Ky.-based Papa John's International Inc. from using its slogan, "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza." The company said it spent $300 million to put the slogan in advertisements and on everything from pizza boxes to stationery.
Dallas-based Pizza Hut, a division of Louisville-based Tricon Global Restaurants Inc., was quick to claim victory after the three-week trial and 5 1/2 hours of jury deliberations.
"We thought we would prevail, and if you were in the courtroom this afternoon, you saw that we did prevail," declared Pizza Hut's lead trial attorney, Tom Morrison of New York.
Pizza Hut executives and lawyers gathered at a swank downtown Dallas hotel, where they sipped champagne and applauded when Morrison entered the lobby.
By contrast, Papa John's chief executive John Schnatter and his employees appeared taken aback by the verdict. They canceled a scheduled news conference, citing a gag order imposed by U.S. Magistrate William F. Sanderson Jr., and immediately returned to Louisville.
Martin McNamara, Papa John's Dallas-based trial attorney, declined to term the verdict a defeat.
"All I can say is that what we have is a partial verdict which is subject to further court proceedings," he said, referring to the damages phase.

Manitowoc man faces deportion
Friends and many in the Manitowoc community have rallied around Jaime Martinez, a Mexican man and father of four young U.S. born children, who faces deportation as early as Friday.
Martinez, 32, is married to a U. S. citizen. He's the father of four children ages six and under. He's worked at the same job for 10 years. He's the sole provider for his family, said wife, Jennifer, who has been his partner for 14 years.
He's a member of the YMCA and takes part in charity runs and events, she said.
His friend, Mia Quistorf, said Thursday in a teleconference that supporters held a candlelight vigil and have written letters of support urging prosecutorial discretion in his case. "There's been an outpouring of support from my community and people are pleading for this kind man, caring friend and supportive father to be released," she said.
"He poses no threat to public safety or national security and he's a person with strong ties to the community," argues his attorney Stacy Taeuber. She cites the Obama administrations position outlined last year that said immigration efforts should be aimed at those who are violent or pose a threat.
"Why spend our tax dollars to deport this man and destroy this family," she said.
"The plight of this family crystallizes the crisis so many families face right now," said Christine Neumann-Ortiz, the director of Voces de la Frontera, an immigrant right group.
Martinez originally came to the U. S. in 1997, but went back in 2002 with Jennifer in hopes of getting a fiancé visa, Jennifer said.
She said an attorney in Green Bay gave them poor advice. They were told to return to Mexico in 2002 to apply for a fiancé visa. But after some time, paperwork and money spent, the visa was denied, she said.
So, in 2003, Martinez returned to Manitowoc without documents. He's lived and worked there ever since.
But on Feb. 16, while on his way home from his restaurant job, he was arrested and placed on hold for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"Mr. Martinez-Espinal has twice been removed from the United States — on Jan. 9, 2003 and again on Aug. 15, 2003 — and illegally re-entered the United States, which is a felony," said Gail Montenegro, a spokes person for ICE in Chicago.
Because ICE is reinstating his prior removal order he's not entitled to a hearing before a federal immigration judge, she said. On March 15, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals denied his request for an emergency stay of removal, she said. Based on his multiple illegal entries and his criminal arrest history, Montenegro said Martinez "falls within ICE"S enforcement priorities."
She added: "ICE is focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that prioritizes the removal of criminal aliens, recent border crossers and egregious immigration law violators, such as those who have been previously removed from the United States."
Because of ICE's privacy rules, Montenegro said she could not provide additional details on his criminal arrest.
Jennifer said Martinez received a misdemeanor ticket for disorderly conduct after they had a verbal argument. He received deferred prosecution and went to counseling, she said. On line court records show the charges were dismissed.
On line court records also show he was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of operating without a license and disorderly conduct, both in 2000.
Taeuber said she sent a petition to ICE headquarters in Washington, D. C. asking for prosecutorial discretion, but has not received a reply.
But late Thursday, Jennifer said she received a call from Jaime, who is in jail in Dodge County. He told her he's on the list to be deported Friday.

Hawaii eyes cash in on Taiwan's newly acquired visa-waiver status
October 4, 2012, 12:19 am TWN
TAIPEI--The Hawaiian tourism office in Taiwan launched a promotional tour package yesterday in cooperation with local travel agencies to take advantage of a potential tourism boost from Taiwan's inclusion in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
Hawaii Tourism Asia's office in Taipei said the seven-day tour will depart from Taiwan Nov. 1 — the first day Taiwan's visa-waiver status takes effect — and will cost less than NT$70,000 (US$2,383.15) per person.
The tour will take participants to Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and other famous destinations, the office said.
The United States Department of Homeland Security announced Taiwan's VWP membership on Tuesday. Under the program, Taiwan's passport holders will be granted visa-free stays of up to 90 days in the United States.
Meanwhile, Lo Tsai-ling, marketing director at California-based Kirk Vacation, praised Taiwan's inclusion in the program and expected that the number of Taiwanese tourists in the U.S. will increase by 15-20 percent in the early stages after the VWP takes effect.
The increase will be even bigger if airlines and hotels offer more promotional deals, he said.
Ho Chia-yen, director at Ho Ho Travel Inc. in Los Angeles, said many tours to the U.S. West Coast that target Taiwanese tourists have lowered their prices by 10 percent to attract business.
