New Year's Eve in London isn't traditionally an evening given over to great food. It's more about either hiding yourself away at home whilst drunken revellers fill the streets or joining said revellers and having a very, very quiet New Year's Day as a result.
But if you've had enough of being stuck at home with the relatives and want to head into town for dinner, there are a fair few decent restaurants open for business. We're concentrating on restaurants that are staying open past midnight - but there are always earlier options available.
Whether you're looking for bargain basement or black tie - our New Year's Eve 2015 restaurant list has it all. We'll be adding new restaurants up until New Year - so keep checking back.
A new Year first
This is the first year that Fergus Henderson's St John is open for New Year, so expect that to be a hot ticket. It'll be a meal served family style full of St John hits. So expect bone marrow toast, snails and bacon, pheasant and trotter pie, eccles cake and lancashire cheese among other delights. It's £145 per person and runs from 7pm to 2 in the morning. To book a table, email email@example.com
A riverside New Year
This first one is actually a river-bound New Year as Columbia restaurant in Docklands will have a four course meal (dishes include "Scottish smoked salmon with cucumber pickle and fennel salad" and "herb-crusted Scotch fillet with parsnip purée and beef cheek bonbon"). And after dinner you'll be led to the private pier onto a river cruise bound for the fireworks. It's not cheap at £249 each - but you'll get a good view of those fireworks. To book call 020 7064 4515.
There another closer option too at the newly refurbed Le Pont De la Tour. They have a six course menu followed by a trip down the thames from their boat on Butlers Wharf to check out the fireworks. That comes in at £375 (or stay at the restaurant for £175) and you can book on 020 7403 8403.
A high-rise New Year
Given the multitude of high-rise (and good) dining options now available in London - it's no wonder that a table with a view (ideally of the fireworks) is what people are after this year.
As usual, Duck & Waffle and Sushisamba are putting on a New Year party that should give you an amazing view of those fireworks throughout London. This year, Duck & Waffle are hosting a 1930s themes party (with associated dress code) so expect it to be transformed into a high-rise speakeasy. You'll have various options from an early dining five course menu up to 7pm (£195) a late dining table from 8.30pm with six courses and canapes through the night (£325). Alternatively, you can grab a space at the bar for £125, or a booth for £225.
As for Sushisamba, their party is inspired by the Brazilian tradition of Réveillon - expect a band, DJs and samba dancers through the night. There's a six course early dining session (£200), while dinner and into the night there's an 8 course menu (£325 in the lounge, £375 in the restaurant) while it's £150 to get into the bar or £250 for a bar booth.
South of the river, there's Aqua Shard and Hutong for another party and a closer look at the Royal Mayor's fireworks. Hutong has a five course sharing menu and a bottle of Veuve (£345) and you'll be able to join the party at Aqua Shard too. Alternatively you can grab a table at the bar for £95 including a dim-sum platter. As for Aqua Shard, they've a British five course menu plus the party at the bar for £395 or just the bar (plus a glass of champagne) for £125.
If you fancy some Jason Atherton high-rise food for New Year, then City Social is for you. For the restaurant it's £180 for a five course menu (but you're not facing the fireworks). The bar has two options - a booth for six with a view of the fireworks for £750 or a restricted view for £500.
Across town, another high rise where you're sure to be looked after well, with Fred in charge of things, is Galvin at Windows. Their New Year's Eve menu is a six course affair - plus canapes and champagne - for £495 per person.
A fancy New Year - over £100
Gordon Ramsay lots of New Year options with his restaurant but the one that sticks out is the Savoy Grill. There is a more affordable early supper (£55 between 5.30 and 6.30) but it's the into-the-night affair that you'll want to be part of. That's £200 for a seven course menu including dishes like "Cured foie gras, William pear purée and brioche", "Beef Wellington with truffle mash potatoes and Bordelaise sauce" and "Chestnut, chocolate and coffee Opera Cake". But one of the biggest draws is that you'll be able to decamp to one of the Savoy's suites for a view of the fireworks. You can book here.
If you fancy a three Michelin starred dinner for New Year, try Alain Ducasse with two options. First up is a five course menu for £195, but if you want to push the boat out, there's a seven course menu with matched wines and midnight champagne for £460.
Corrigan's in Mayfair has a three course menu for £90 on offer - or there's a tasting menu for £120 too.
The Cinnamon Club has a five course meal for £125 which includes "spiced crab and mackerel cake with coriander mayonnaise" and "Rajasthani spiced Scottish pheasant breast with pearl barley kedgeree and coriander sauce" and they'll have live music and a DJ too.
Smith and Wollensky is having an Elvis themed New Year's Eve party. There will be a casino and a three course meal including "obster bisque, USDA prime dry-aged 14oz sirloin with a selection of sides and "Advocaat and redcurrant Baked Alaska". It's £175 each.
Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels have a special Champagne matching menu for £150 including scallops with black truffle, rack of lamb and more.
A mid-range New Year - £51 to £100
At Quo Vadis you can get a combination of Jeremy Lee's food in the main restaurant followed by partying until late with a DJ in the club upstairs. It's £65 for the three course meal, including sides.
At Antidote, they're celebrating the tradition of la Saint-Sylvestre (i.e. French New Year). There's a four course set menu featuring welcome canapés and a glass of Champagne on arrival and dishes including Warm Crab, Endive & Truffle, Line caught Cod, Radishes & Mussel Butter, for the main event Pheasant, Wild Mushrooms & Creamed Potatoes and Salted Chocolate, Coffee & Chestnuts to finish. It's five courses for £60 with a wine pairing for an extra £40 (Antidote's sommelier will also be pulling some special bottles from their cellar for New Year).
Hush Mayfair are holding a Wolf of Wall Street themed night of debauchery with a "Morgan Stanley" priced menu at £80 per person or a Goldman Sachs version (£100) which gives you money to play in the Casino. Or you can go with the cut-prices Lehman Bros ticket (£20) which gets you a martini and a go on the tables too.
South of the river, Ramsay's London House will have a 5 course meal for £100 with dishes like "smoked eel, queen scallops, Cox pippin purée", "pheasant croquette with fried lollipop kale" and "Beef bourguignon and carved fillet with swede purée".
The Greek Larder in King's Cross has an £80 menu on and they promise to "close when the last person leaves." Dishes include "Lamb pastourma made in Kings Cross, taramokeftedes (tarama risoles) & cured apple" and "Cold smoked Aylesbury duck, grilled sprouting broccoli, truffle strained yoghurt cheese".
Village East is having a Cluedo themed New Year party which will see clues doled out throughout the evening to help you solve the murder. The four course meal is £55 including "grilled fillet of beef, black pudding and potato dauphinoise with wild mushroom sauce & crispy shallots" and "apple roses with rum & raisin ice cream". Plus there are Cluedo themed cocktails throughout the evening too.
Percy and Founders has a three course set menu for £80 with dishes including "Cured Halibut with Shaved Fennel, Spiced Orange Dressing & Dill" and "Beef Fillet & Braised Ox Cheek with Horseradish Mash, Truffle Jus". They'll have a Dj on hand from 10pm onwards too.
If you fancy a few more vegetables in your New Year's Eve dinner, Grain Store have a Main Event menu with 4 courses + aperitif on arrival for £69 from 8pm onwards.
Ceviche Old Street will be hosting a NYE Fiesta with a selection of shared plates, a pisco cocktail competition and they are promising an exciting DJ line-up. Tickets are £52.80 and include a a pisco punch cocktail on arrival.

The present invention generally relates to traffic monitoring, and more particularly to a traffic warning system and method for use in aircraft.
Traffic warning systems for aircraft are well known in the art. Such systems are intended to identify and track other aircraft in the vicinity of a particular plane and warn the pilot of those approaching or hovering aircraft that may present a hazard because of their flight vector, altitude or other factors. Such systems are important for flight safety. They may be entirely contained within the aircraft or rely on a combination of airborne and surface based systems. Either arrangement is useful. Most large commercial aircraft and military aircraft are already equipped with such traffic warning systems. These systems often rely on air traffic control (ATC) radar signals, which are not always available, or on simple transponder signals that convey little information.
The most significant limitation of such prior art traffic warning systems is their size and cost which, in general, makes them unsuitable or economically unattractive for use in relatively small private or commercial aircraft, light helicopters, ultra-light aircraft, pilot-less aircraft or drones, and other airborne platforms of limited size and cost (hereafter collectively "light aircraft"). Accordingly, a need continues to exist for a traffic warning system and method that is simple, compact and of low cost, for use in such light aircraft.
It is desirable to provide a traffic warning system and method that is especially suited for use in light aircraft, that is low in cost compared to prior art systems, and that makes substantial use of standard off-the-shelf components and communication protocols, as well as instruments that many light aircraft already carry. In addition, it is desirable that the traffic warning system and method be simple, rugged and capable of operating in different modes depending upon the avionics capabilities of aircraft in its vicinity. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the foregoing technical field and background.
An apparatus is provided for a traffic warning system (TWS) for light aircraft. The TWS apparatus comprises a processor coupled to a transceiver, adapted to measure signal strength and send and receive messages containing station ID and preferably altitude and position data. Memory, display and various flight data instruments, such as GPS, altimeter, and others, are also coupled to the processor. The transceiver-processor automatically identifies similar TWS equipped aircraft within radio communication range as an ad-hoc network and exchanges ID and position related information. The processor determines range from signal strength and/or received position information and, given enough data, determines direction, altitude, speed, etc., of the other aircraft, which it presents to the pilot. These values and their rate of change are compared to stored alarm thresholds, and the pilot is warned when another aircraft triggers the threshold. Evasive action is recommended where possible.
A method is provided for tracking aircraft using an airborne traffic warning system (TWS) having inter-coupled transceiver, processor, memory, annunciator and flight status instruments. The method comprises receiving ID and positional information signals from aircraft within communication range, updating a roster of aircraft retained in memory from previous receiving steps, determining proximity of each of the aircraft, and presenting the proximity information to the user via the annunciator. In a preferred embodiment the method further comprises prior to the receiving step, sending an interrogation signal to the aircraft. The proximity of each of the aircraft may be determined from the location information in the received signals or from the strength of the received signals or both. The receiving, updating, determining and presenting steps are periodically or randomly repeated so that the roster and proximity of the aircraft are constantly being updated.
The present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the following drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and
The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description.
Boundary 48 associated with aircraft 18 represents the three-dimensional contour within which aircraft using the traffic warning system of the present invention can intercommunicate with aircraft 18 for purposes of traffic warning. While boundary 48 is shown as being spherical and centered on aircraft 18 as indicated by center 18C, this is merely for convenience of explanation and persons of skill in the art will understand that boundary 48 may have a more complex shape. As used herein in connection with boundary 48 and analogous contours, the word "sphere" and "spherical" are intended to also refer to such more complex shapes. Boundary 48 moves with aircraft 18. At the particular point in time shown in
It is desirable that boundary 48 have a radius large enough so that the traffic warning system of the present invention has time to detect an approaching aircraft and display warning information, and the pilot or other crew member have sufficient reaction time to take evasive action. At least thirty seconds warning time is desirable with longer warning times (e.g., ≧about sixty seconds) being preferred. For example, typical light aircraft rarely have speeds in excess of about 100–300 miles (160–480 kilometers) per hour, giving a maximum expected closing speed of about 600 miles (960 kilometers) per hour. Thus, a five-mile (eight-kilometer) boundary radius provides about thirty seconds warning time under worse case conditions for typical light aircraft maximum closing speeds, and significantly longer reaction times for lower closing speeds (e.g., about ninety seconds for a 200 mile (320 kilometer) per hour closing speed). While smaller boundary radii are useful (e.g., about three miles (five kilometers)), it is desirable that the radius of boundary 48 be at least about five miles (eight kilometers) and preferably about ten miles (sixteen kilometers) or more. The radius of boundary 48 is determined by the radio traffic warning system transceivers and associated antennas mounted on the aircraft. A preferred antenna shape would be a pancake type antenna, e.g., a cylinder with a diameter significantly larger than its thickness, in order to optimize range and minimize the transmit power needed to achieve the desired range.
It is important that each of aircraft 30–36 desired to be tracked have at least the equivalent of transceiver 52 with antenna 51. For conveniences of explanation, these equivalent transceivers and other elements in aircraft 30–36 are identified by using primes, that is, adding an apostrophe mark to the reference number. For example, reference number 52′ refers to the equivalent of transceiver 52 but located in aircraft other than aircraft 18. IEEE standard 802.11 transceivers 52, 52′ and equivalents have the capability to freely and automatically form ad-hoc local area networks and exchange information. This ad-hoc network mode of operation is described for example in Sections 5.2.1, 5.6 and 11 of the IEEE 802.11 standard. Thus, transceivers 52′ located within boundary 48 communicate with and identify themselves to transceiver 52 of aircraft 18, and vice versa. Formation of such ad-hoc networks and exchange of information takes place automatically and does not require particular operator action. Further, such ad-hoc network formation is dynamic, that is, the network forming and/or information transfer signals are automatically repeated so that membership in the ad-hoc network is continually updated. This type of action is particularly well suited to use in a traffic warning system according to the present invention. Further, while use of 802.11 WLAN transceivers is convenient, these are merely examples of suitable transceivers. What is important is that transceivers 52, 52′ have the ability to automatically and frequently (e.g., at least about once per second) exchange information on a real time basis in a way that allows the receiving station to deduce relative position information for the transmitting aircraft.
While use of the IEEE 802.11b radios operating in the 2.4 GHz RF band is convenient, this is not intended to be limiting and any suitable radio and frequency band may be used. RF Modems operating at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz are available and/or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) links at 900 MHz are useful. Other RF bands at 433 MHz can also be used. A frequency band specifically assigned for aircraft traffic warning is desirable but not essential. Licensed or unlicensed radios operating in public lower frequency bands may also be used. Suitable point-to-point digital communication radios are available. The GMRS band allows radios up to 1 watt in the 462–467 MHz band. With these lower frequency bands, care must be taken to have sufficient data communication bandwidth. However, the aircraft location messages of the present invention can be very short. Hence, they can be transmitted at relatively low data rates. For example, at 9600 baud or 19,200 characters per second, approximately fifty stations can take turns sending data without significant data collisions. Thus, the system of the present invention can accommodate relatively large numbers of aircraft within operating boundary 48.
TWS 50 further comprises processor 54 coupled to transceiver 52 by bus or leads 53. Processor 54 is further coupled to memory 56 by leads or bus 55, to optional display 60 by bus or leads 59, to optional audio output 62 by bus or leads 61 and to input 70 by bus or leads 71. While memory 56 is shown separately, persons of skill in the art will understand that this same or additional memory may also be integrated within receiver 52 and/or processor 54. One or the other or both of display 60 and/or audio output 62 are desirable so that TWS 50 can alert the pilot to any potential hazard detected by TWS 50. As used herein, the term "annunciator" identified by reference number 63, is intended to include one or the other or both of display 60 and audio output 62. While annunciator 63 is shown as being part of TWS 50, this is not essential as long as some other means for providing such function(s) exist elsewhere in the aircraft electronics system. Annunciator 63 can alternatively be part of the aircraft's general display and audio output system or be combined with Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver 64. Either arrangement is useful. In the preferred embodiment, but not essentially, interface 58 is provided and coupled to processor 54 by leads or bus 57 so that processor 54 can obtain data from optional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver 64 coupled to interface 58 by leads or bus 65 and/or from optional altitude detector 66 coupled to interface 58 by leads or bus 67. Optionally, other flight data sources 68 may be coupled to interface 58 by leads or bus 69 and thence to processor 54 via bus or leads 57. Ordinarily, GPS receiver 64, altitude detector 66 and other flight data sources 68 are part of the aircraft's general avionics equipment and need not be provided as a part of TWS 50, but that is not precluded. While use of GPS receiver 64 as a source of position information is preferred, any other source of equivalent information may also be used and the term "GPS" is intended to include such alternative sources of position related information. While GPS receiver 64 and altitude detector 66 are shown in
Input 70 is desirably but not essentially provided to allow service technicians and/or the user to input various settings and/or programs into processor 54 for storage in memory 56 and/or in transceiver 52 to vary the operating properties of TWS 50. Input 70 can include a conventional keyboard or keypad, a disk or memory module reader, a modem and/or a connection to an aircraft bus. This is desirable to support updating the firmware and/or programs used by processor 54 and transceiver 52 to control operation of TWS 50. It is desirable that memory 56 include non-volatile memory for this purpose.
802.11 compatible radios can operate in a variety of modes. For example, it is possible to use the 802.11 ad-hoc mode by selecting a channel and having transceiver 52, 52′ periodically send a location message. When not transmitting, transceiver 52 is actively waiting on the selected channel to receive messages sent by other stations 52′. This approach implements a more specialized mode of the basic ad-hoc capability of transceivers 52 and/or 52′. In this mode, the transceivers send and receive messages at predetermined and/or random intervals rather than first forming a network as part of a WLAN. Since 802.11b transceivers, such as those manufactured by Symbol Technologies noted above, are firmware programmable, this functionality can be easily implemented in software supplied by input 70 or other means. Using this direct send-listen or listen-send mode bypasses the handshake operations normally involved in forming a conventional network as a prelude to exchanging location related information. Either arrangement is useful and as used herein the words "ad-hoc", "ad-hoc network" and "ad-hoc network formation" are intended to have their broadest meaning and to include either or both implementations, that is, listen-talk, talk-listen and dynamic network formation.
In another mode of operation wherein aircraft 30–36 also have available altitude data and/or GPS position data, then data stream 80 received by TWS 50 of aircraft 18 includes one or both of data segments 84 (altitude data) and 86 (GPS data). This altitude and/or 2-D or 3-D GPS position information is passed from transceiver 52 to processor 54 of TWS 50, wherein processor 54 in cooperation with memory 56, can determine the altitude of the transmitting aircraft from data segment 84 and/or the 2-D or 3-D location of the transmitting aircraft from GPS position data segment 86. GPS position data 86 allows TWS 50 to determine a much more precise range to the other aircraft than is possible merely with signal strength alone. Further, the relative bearing of the other aircraft can also be computed knowing the GPS position of both the other aircraft and aircraft 18. (The position of aircraft 18 is known from its own GPS receiver 64.) By tracking successive position reports in updated data segments 86, processor 54 can also determine the speed and direction vector of the other aircraft. As used herein, the terms "GPS" and "GPS data" are intended to refer to absolute or relative position data in two and/or three dimensions obtained from any source and are not intended to be limited merely to data obtained from the Global Positioning System.
If only the signal strength and altitude information is available (e.g., from data segments 82, 84), the approaching aircraft can be determined to lie on the rim of a cone with aircraft 18 at its apex and slant height equal to the signal strength range. Processor 54 uses some or all of this altitude, position, direction and/or speed information to refine its estimate of the likelihood that the other aircraft represents a potential hazard to aircraft 18 and notifies the pilot or other crewmember accordingly using annunciator 63. Because the availability of altitude, position and other data increases the accuracy with which TWS 50 can track the aircraft within boundary 48, the inclusion of data segments 84, 86 is preferred. Thus, as more and more aircraft become equipped with TWS 50 of the present invention the traffic warning accuracy improves.
In a still further embodiment, data stream 80 may include data segment 88 containing other useful flight related information if available within some or all of aircraft 30–36. Non-limiting examples of such other useful information are velocity, heading, rate of climb or descent, and so forth. Even with such information included, data stream 80 is still relatively short, for example, on the order of 100 to 200 bits or less. Thus, transmit time for each aircraft 18, 30–36 is very short and they can share the same channel and still provide a data repetition rate for each aircraft sufficient to allow aircraft 18 to maintain a current picture of the other aircraft 30–36 in its vicinity. Data collisions can be minimized by, for example, programming transceivers 52′ to transmit at random intervals or with random delays after receiving an interrogation signal from transceiver 52. Other well-known methods for avoiding significant data collisions can also be used.
Optional data segment 90 can also be included in data stream 80. While data segments 82–88 provide information about the flight parameters of the transmitting aircraft (e.g., one of aircraft 30–36), data segment 90 includes information about the flight parameters of other aircraft that are within boundary 48′ of the transmitting aircraft; for example, their altitude, position, range, heading, etc., that is, some or all of data segments 82–88 for other aircraft that the transmitting station has already detected and identified. By including this type of information, aircraft 18 can have information about aircraft that are outside of its own transmit/receive boundary 48. In this mode of operation, each aircraft is accumulating information about the aircraft in its vicinity (i.e., within its own boundary 48′) and shares this information with those aircraft within range of its transceiver 52′. Thus, in addition to receiving data segments 82–88 for the transmitting aircraft 30–36, aircraft 18 but can also receive via the transmitting aircraft, equivalent information about other aircraft that are able to communicate with the transmitting aircraft, but not communicate directly with aircraft 18. Thus, inclusion of data segments 90 provides indirection communication of flight parameters for aircraft outside boundary 48 to TWS 50 of aircraft 18.
For example, referring to
If the outcome of query 212 is YES (TRUE), indicating that one or more of the nearby aircraft have intersected or are about to intersect an alarm condition, then method 200 advances to EVASIVE ACTION DETERMINEABLE ? query 214 wherein it is determined whether or not enough information is available for processor 54 to calculate a possible evasive action to avoid the hazard or approaching hazard. For example, if only the aircraft ID and approximate range is available (e.g., from the signal strength), then it is unlikely that processor 54 can compute an evasive action since the direction of the perceived threat is unknown to processor 54. Thus, if the outcome of query 214 is NO (FALSE) then method 200 advances to SHOW HAZARD step 220, sub-step 220-2, wherein the available information is presented to the user and the display updated in sub-step 220-1, after which method 200 proceeds via path 221 back to START 202 and initial step 204. If the outcome of query 214 is YES (TRUE) indicating that sufficient altitude, position, course, speed, etc., information exists to permit processor 54 to evaluate possible evasive actions, then DETERMINE BEST EVASIVE ACTION step 216 is executed and the results presented to the pilot in SHOW EVASIVE ACTION step 220, sub-step 220-3 along with the hazard in sub-step 220-2 and up-dated position information in sub-step 220-1. Method 200 then loops back to START 202 and initial step 203 as shown by path 221.
Sub-steps 208-1 and 208-2 illustrate further details of UPDATE AIRCRAFT ROSTER step 208. In addition to up-dating the aircraft flight parameters previously stored in memory 56 any new aircraft detected by TWS 50 during the latest iteration of step 206 are added to the stored information in sub-step 208-1 and any previously remembered aircraft that where not present in the last update or the last N updates of step 206 are pruned in step 208-2 from the aircraft roster stored in memory 56, where N can be 1, 2, 3 . . . , with the value of N depending on the channel noise and transmission repeat rate being used. As indicated by USE DECISION TREE sub-step 208-2A, the pruning operation can be dynamically varied. For example, as the number of aircraft being tracked increases, the probability of data collisions also increases. Such data collisions might cause a particular aircraft's signal to be missed when the aircraft array is polled in steps 204–206. Under these circumstances, it is desirable that N>1, conveniently 1≦N≦20, more conveniently about 5≦N≦15 and preferable about N=10. For example, a value of N=10 corresponds to about a 10 second time interval, that is, the particular aircraft would not be dropped from the roster until it had failed to report for that interval. Further, the value of N being used can be varied according to the relative location of the transmitting aircraft. For example, if the last known position of the transmitting aircraft was within a predetermined distance near boundary 48, then using N=1 or 2 (i.e., dropped on the first or second miss) is appropriate. In general, it is desirable that the larger the radius R to the transmitting aircraft, the lower the probability that the aircraft will create a hazard and therefore the lower the value of N that is used in deciding how many misses before the aircraft is presumed to have left boundary 48 and is dropped from the roster of aircraft being tracked. Analogous criteria can be adopted dependant on the speed, course and altitude of the aircraft, since these help determine the risk associated with prematurely dropping an aircraft from the roster of those being tracked by TWS 50. In any case, USE DECISION TREE sub-step 802-2A provides, adaptive decision making for deleting missing aircraft, that is, those from whom no up-date signal was received in N iterations. While using the refresh iteration count N as the measuring parameter is convenient, it is not intended to be limiting, and other criteria, as for example, time can also be used. When an aircraft is flying on a nearly parallel course at a similar speed and at a range approximating that of boundary 48, it may continually appear to enter and leave boundary 48 such that it would be repeatedly added to and dropped from the roster of aircraft being tracked. In such situation, decision tree 208-2A can also include a software filter to retain such aircraft within the roster until it has failed to report a larger number of times. This avoids unnecessary changes in the roster of aircraft being tracked. Method 200 repeats steps 204–220 as long as there are other aircraft within boundary 48. While loop-back path 221 is shown as occurring after presentation up-date step 220, persons of skill in the art will understand that loop-back can occur after step 210 in parallel with steps 212–220. In this way, input information update is not delayed by the time needed to determine whether a hazard exists and present the information to the pilot.
Following receipt of data stream 80 in step 404 and updating the aircraft roster in step 406, path 460 flowing from ONLY ID INFO ? query 408 is executed. In step 408 it is determined whether the received data contains only station ID information (data segment 82). If the outcome of query 408 is YES (TRUE), then in step 410 the incoming signal strength is measured by transceiver 52 and in step 412, processor 54 uses this information to determine an approximate range to the transmitting station, that is the radius of its position relative to aircraft 18. Steps 414–434 apply to all pathways 460, 462, 464 although the results differ depending upon how much input data is available, e.g., data segments 82 (path 460), data segments 82, 84 (path 462) and data segments 82, 84, 86 (path 464). The discussion of steps 414–434 that follows is general in that it recognizes that some of the paths have more data available than others. The difference in outcomes depending upon which path is being followed is noted.
IN ALARM BOUNDARY ? query 414 is executed to determine whether the radius or range determined in step 412 (or range and angle determined in step 440 or range and direction determined in step 448) is within a predetermined minimum range (or altitude, direction, etc.) wherein the other aircraft should be considered a potential hazard to aircraft 18. If the outcome of query 414 is NO (FALSE), then method 400 advances to PRIOR DATA AVAILABLE ? query 416 in which it is determined whether or not the particular aircraft whose ID has been received has previously transmitted within a predetermined latency interval, as for example, the maximum interval during which repeated signal transmissions from the same source are expected to be received. Persons of skill in the art will understand based on the description herein how to select the latency interval depending upon the expected re-transmission rate for the type of aircraft intended to be monitored. If the outcome of query 416 is NO (FALSE), then method 400 proceeds to step 418 wherein the position information determined in step 412, 440 or 448 is presented to the pilot via annunciator 63 and method 400 returns to START 402 and initial steps 404, 406 as shown by loop-back path 419.
If the outcome of query 416 is YES (TRUE), then method 400 proceeds to CALCULATE CHANGE step 420 wherein the change in range (and/or other parameters) is determined from prior data stored in memory 56 for the same aircraft. Following step 420, method 400 advances to optional IN ROC ALARM BOUNDARY ? query 422 in which it is determined whether or not the rate of change (ROC) of range and/or other parameters lies within a predetermined alarm boundary where a hazardous situation might be developing based on the rate of change of range and/or other parameters rather than on mere range and/or the parameters values per se. If the outcome of query 422 is NO (FALSE) then method 400 proceeds to PRESENT CHANGE INFO step 424 wherein this information is presented to the pilot or crew along with position info in step 418. Method 400 then flows back to start 402 and initial steps 404, 406 as shown by path 419. For example, if the rate of change (ROC) of position determined in step 420 based on signal strength data or GPS data is very rapid and the aircraft direction determined from GPS data in step 448 is towards aircraft 18 or the cone angle determined in step 440 from the range and altitude is decreasing rapidly, then this is an indication that a potentially hazardous situation may be developing and a ROC alarm should be given even though the aircraft is still far enough away that an absolute range (distance) or altitude alarm boundary has not yet been crossed.
Returning now to queries 414 (IN ALARM BOUNDARY ?) and 422 (IN ROC ALARM BOUNDARY ?), if the outcome of either of queries 414 or 422 is YES (TRUE), then method 400 proceeds to ACTIVATE ALARM step 426 following by RANGE ONLY ? query 428 wherein it is determined whether or not the input data is limited to range only, e.g., from path 460. If the outcome of query 428 is YES (TRUE) then method 400 proceeds to PRESENT ALARM INFO step 430 and PRESENT POSITION INFO step 418 wherein the alarm condition and available position information is presented to the pilot by annunciator 63. If the outcome of query 428 is NO (FALSE), indicating that other information (e.g., some or all of altitude, position, speed, course, etc.) is available, then method 400 proceeds to step 432 wherein possible evasive action is determined, as has been previously described and onto PRESENT EVASIVE INFO step 434 wherein the evasive action information, alarm information (step 430) and position information (step 418) are presented to the pilot and/or crew, and then method 400 returns to START 402 and initial steps 404, 406 as shown by path 419. With only range information available (e.g., path 460) the potentially hazardous aircraft can be anywhere on a sphere of the determined radius surrounding aircraft 18 and it is generally not possible to suggest a particular evasive action. Hence, in these circumstances PRESENT ALARM INFO step 430 uses annunciator 63 to warn the pilot about the potential hazard situation and, optionally, that it has no evasive action to suggest. Where additional information is available (paths 462, 464) then processor 54 can generally compute a possible evasive action. Thus path 460 differs in outcome from paths 462, 464 in that step 432 is not executed in path 460 and therefore no projected evasive action is available in path 460, whereas step 432 in paths 463, 464 does generally provide a recommended evasive action. The outcome of presentation steps 418, 424, 430, 434 also differ among paths 460, 462, 464 because the more input information that is available to TWS 50, the more detailed the information that can be presented to the pilot on the range, altitude, speed and course of aircraft 30–36 being directly tracked, and those of aircraft 40–46 that can be indirectly tracked, as previously explained, and about the potential or actual alarm conditions and possible evasive actions.
Returning now to query 408, if the outcome of query 408 is NO (FALSE) meaning that other information besides ID data is contained in data stream 80 received from the other aircraft, then method 400 proceeds to ID+ALTITUDE INFO ? query 436 is which it is determined whether or not the other information contained in data stream 80 consists of altitude information. If the outcome of query 436 is YES (TRUE) indicating that data stream 80 has only data segments 82, 84, then method 400 proceeds to measuring step 438 analogous to measuring step 410. Processor 54 then executes step 440 in which the altitude is combined with the range information deduced from the signal strength to determine the slant range and cone angle for the transmitting aircraft. As noted earlier, if range and altitude of the other aircraft are known relative to aircraft 18, then the transmitting aircraft can be placed on the rim of a cone whose apex is located on aircraft 18 and whose slant range and cone angle can be determined by simple geometry. Path 462 of method 400 then advances to IN ALARM BOUNDARY ? query 414 already discussed. The foregoing discussion of steps 414–434 is incorporated herein by reference. However, with both range and angle information in path 462, it is generally possible for processor 54 to compute a possible evasive action. The potentially threatening aircraft lies on the rim of a cone whose plane is at a known elevation relative to aircraft 18, whose apex is centered on aircraft 18, and whose slant range is determinable from the signal strength. For example, in presentation steps 418, 430 the rim of the cone can be represented on display 60, for example, as a line having a particular altitude and a length determined by the diameter of the rim of the cone, thereby giving the pilot a visual picture of the potential locations of the other aircraft. The transmitting aircraft can be ahead, behind or to the side of aircraft 18. Processor 54 can generally compute a possible evasive action to be presented in step 434.
Returning now to query 436, if the outcome of query 436 is NO (FALSE) meaning that other information (i.e., GPS data) besides ID and altitude data is contained in data stream 80 received from the other aircraft, then method 400 proceeds to ID+ALT+GPS INFO ? query 442 is which it is determined whether or not the other information contained in data stream 80 consists of position information. If the outcome of query 448 is YES (TRUE) indicating that data stream 80 has data segments 82, 84, 86 then method 400 proceeds to path 464 and CALCULATE RELATIVE POSITION step 446 and DETERMINE SLANT RANGE AND DIRECTION step 448 where the 3-D position of the other aircraft is calculated relative to aircraft 18. When the GPS positions or equivalent of both aircraft are known, the range and angle of the other aircraft relative to the position and course vector of aircraft 18 can be determined by geometry. Path 464 then proceeds to IN ALARM BOUNDARY ? query 414 and subsequent steps already discussed, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference. Because much greater aircraft flight data is available, much more precise position, course, speed, altitude and other information can be provided to the pilot. For example, in presentation step 418, the aircraft being monitored can be represented as a point in a 3-D display or a pair of orthogonal 2-D displays. The relative position of the transmitting aircraft is known with a precision determined by the GPS receivers.

Post: #120-09-2009
The aim of this project is to build a device which can detect the presence of a active mobile phone in a given area and upon detection, activate the jamming device which jams the phone hence disrupting communication.
This objective is achieved by splitting the working of the device into two parts-
1) Mobile detection
2) Mobile jamming
The Mobile detection project is an advanced device which finds various applications in the modern fields of communication and surveillances. Mobile detection project is designed to detect the mobile phone in a closed room / place which is in active transmission mode. This project is very useful for the private meetings, defense establishments, military camp, Hospitals; Petrol pumps etc., where the uses of an active Mobile Communication (GSM) device are prohibited. With the aid of this project, one can detect the active mobile device like Cell Phone and GPS systems. Here the Mobile detection project can be used like a metal detector and the project is capable of detecting the Cell phone like device from the range of few centimeters to few inches depending upon the Cell phoneâ"¢s transmission strength and other parameters. Here the project is waved near the person / place where the presence of a GSM device is to be detected.
Further, the project also incorporates a vary unique feature of remote paging & indication. In this part when the project is installed on the frame of a door or entrance, (like metals detectors) it scans incoming personâ"¢s mobile activity and if the person is carrying an Active mobile phone, then instead of activating an alarm, it sends a wireless message using Infra-Red signal to a Microcontroller unit which is monitored by a person. So whenever the project detects the active phone carried by a person, it can be made to display an alert message about the same to watchman / security personnel silently, without alarming the person carrying the phone.
Here the project consists of a set of high sensitive electronic wave detection antenna, pre-amplifier, filter, Schmitt trigger, switching stage and an alarm. The project is exactly same as that of a metal detector in principle and operation. The project is also similar to operation and detection like the Metal / Explosive Detector, only with a difference being that, the Metal / Explosive Detector is going to detect the passive parameters, but where as this project is aimed to detect the active signals like GSM signal source like mobile phone which operates in the frequency band of 900 MHz or 1800 MHz typically.
The project mainly consists of the following Block elements as listed below;
1) Active Antenna
2) Pre-Amplifier
3) Amplifier & Filter
4) Schmitt Trigger Driver
5) Tone Generator & Alarm Circuit OR
6) TRx cum Microcontroller.
The Basics of Cell Phone Jamming
Cell phones work by communicating with a service network through the utilization of cellular towers or base stations. Individual towers partition cities into small sections called cells. As a cell phone user traverses the cells in an area, the signal is passed from tower to tower.
Jamming devices take advantage of this fact by transmitting on the spectrum of radio frequencies used by cellular devices. Through its concurrent transmission, the jamming device is able to disrupt the two-way communication between the phone and the base station. This form of a denial-of-service attack inhibits all cellular communication within range of the device.
Through the transmission of a high power signal on the same frequency of a cell phone, the jamming device creates a competing signal that collides with, and, in effect, cancels out the cellular signal. Cell phones, which are designed to increase power in the case of low levels of interference, react to this interference. Consequently, jamming devices must be aware of any increases in power by the cellular device and match that power level accordingly.
As cellular telephones are full-duplex devices utilizing two separate frequencies (one for talking, one for listening, where all parties to a call can talk at the same time as opposed to half-duplex walkie-talkies and CBs), any removal of one of these frequencies tricks the phone into thinking there is no cellular service. Consequently, the jammer need only block one of the frequencies.
The less complex jammers can only block a specific frequency group while the more complex jammers can block several different networks thus preventing dual- or tri-mode phones from switching to a different network with an open signal. Jammers are able to broadcast on any frequency and can interrupt AMPS, CDMA, TDMA, GSM, PCS, DCS, iDEN and Nextel systems. The effective range of a jammer is dependent upon the strength of its power source and the immediate pysical environment (hills or walls which may block the jamming signal). Lower powered jammers have a call-block range of about 30 feet while higher power units can create a cellular signal-free zone about the size of a football field. In addition, certain units applied by law enforcement have been known to shut down cellular service approximately 1 mile from the jamming device.

Great climate is valuable, specifically for these of us who reside in areas exactly where the temperature plummets and also the streets get snowy for 6 months from every year. Regardless of exactly where you reside, it is appealing to enhance your home for satisfaction and rest, each within and out.
How are you able to remodel your outdoor area to ensure that both you and your family members absorb probably the most sunlight? Setting up a deck is a superb method to begin. A deck can recreate your backyard, providing you a handy spot to unwind, cook dinner and consume foods, and host outdoor events and occasions. These constructions can arrive in all sizes and shapes, and may be constructed to fit your eyesight for outdoor residing. Let us take a look at 5 space-transforming designs that deck builders can build to help you receive probably the most enjoyable within the sunlight.
System Decks
This fashion will be the easiest. With one degree constructed reduced towards the floor, the system deck will be the traditional, practical fashion that may provide because the phase for all types of warm-weather actions. You are able to set up built-in planters and bench seating, or perhaps a gazebo segment to spruce up this design.
Freestanding Decks
A freestanding model stands aside out of your home, instead than operating right along with it. Most decks are bolted for your home's frame, however the freestanding model is an effective choice in case your home doesn't permit for this. Freestanding foundations are constructed with footings, posts, and beams. This model may be positioned anyplace inside your garden, so it offers you some independence in selecting how to open up up your area. It is also a pleasant concept to possess a roof constructed more than your freestanding deck so that you can shop a grill or perhaps set up a bar.
Multilevel Decks
A multilevel model generally has two, 3, or perhaps 4 primary platforms joined by stairs or walkways. They are an excellent choice in case your backyard is sloped, because the ranges will stick to the contour from the land. Connecting every degree having a brief flight of stairs enables you to definitely appreciate various sights from every component from the construction – a important thought when you have a scenic backyard. The multilevel choice also functions fantastic along with an in-ground pool, as deck builders could make them ascend upward from the water to accommodate chairs and produce a pleasant poolside encounter. When developing this model, take heed to the light inside your garden – you might want to design the construction to ensure that every degree will get a special part of daylight or shade.
Elevated Decks
When the initial floor of one's home is elevated from the land because of the property's terrain, you will most likely wish to appear right into a elevated deck design. This fashion can offer an attractive accent for your home, and may be optimized for your very best sights of one's home. You will need to adhere to security safeguards strictly when putting in a elevated model: railings, stairways, and lattices are nearly always important. The additional safeguards might be really worth it for your beautiful outdoor vistas this fashion can offer, day in and day out.
Since you realize a few of the fundamentals, you can begin speaking with your favored deck builders and start creating the customized construction which will reshape your home.

Vitamin D supplementation may improve quality of life and reduce symptoms for people with Crohn's disease, according to a new study.
Crohn's disease is a chronic disorder that causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Although it may cause inflammation in any area of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon. Crohn's disease causes painful swelling that often results in diarrhea, or frequent, loose, watery stools.
The cause of Crohn's disease remains unknown. However, current research indicates that the inflammation in Crohn's disease patients involves a complex interaction of factors, including heredity, the immune system, and antigens in the environment.
In a new study, researchers evaluated the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation in 18 people with mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease, assessed on the Crohn's disease activity index. Each participant received 1000 international units of vitamin D3 by mouth daily for two weeks. At week two, the dose was increased until blood concentrations reached 40 nanograms per milliliter 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, a vitamin D status marker, or until the dose reached a maximum of 5000 international units daily. Daily supplementation was then maintained for a total of 24 weeks. Various outcome measures, including Crohn's disease activity index scores, quality of life measurements and dietary data were collected at the beginning of the study and again after week 24.
The researchers found that 14 of the 18 patients needed the maximum vitamin D3 dose of 5000 international units daily. Supplementation significantly increased blood levels of vitamin D and significantly reduced the average Crohn's disease activity index scores by 112 points. Furthermore, quality of life scores improved significantly by the end of the study.
The authors concluded that vitamin D3 supplementation may be a useful tool for the management of Crohn's disease. Additional larger-scale studies are required to further evaluate these findings.
In addition to vitamin D, initial research reports that DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) supplements are safe for short-term use in patients with Crohn's disease. Preliminary research suggests possible beneficial effects, although further research is necessary before a clear conclusion can be drawn.

Good cultureEntrepreneurial cultureGreat peersIf you work hard it will be recognised and people will go out of their way to help you to succeedRelaxed if you can deliver your work to specification
Salary is not particularly competitivePromotion and bonus processes are not particularly well oiledIt can be a little cut throat in some ways due to the entrepreneurial nature.Generally relatively confined in terms of development due to delivery unit separation.
It's a decent place to work if you have a good team and manager. You will end up working in a niche group of people that you meet on project.

Work life balance is better than your average consulting firm. But make no mistake, it is still a Mon-Thur firm. The company has a decent training program, and also a lot of affinity groups
Wages are below industry average (comparing to MBB, Deloitte, etc.)Increase in wages are also quite low, as well as bonusesThe company is fragmented, you are really working for a few Vice Presidents and Principals, if one leaves, you could be in trouble (no advocate)
It is a good place to start, however, if you need to make sure whether you want to stay there forever

Sam Bradford believers would have something to say about that.
But after Bradford regressed during a season of implosion in St. Louis, and Smith stepped up behind the direction of new 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh to produce the best season of his seven-year career, it's reasonable to assert that the 49ers enter a new year with the best situation in the NFC West at quarterback in a division that's perhaps the NFL's weakest at the position.
Of course, Smith isn't even signed for 2012. He can become an unrestricted free agent on March 13, but all signs point to him returning to the 49ers with a new deal in place.
Bradford remains arguably the top talent in the division, but he's starting over with a new coaching staff and a defensive-minded head coach in St. Louis.
Seattle and Arizona both brought in young free-agent quarterbacks last season to be their new starters – and both teams finished the season less than satisfied with the results.
Despite the price the Cardinals paid for Kevin Kolb last year, he still needs to establish himself as the team's undisputed starter and Arizona could be looking at other options at the position in the upcoming months.
The same is true in Seattle, where Tarvaris Jackson showed flashes but ultimately wasn't consistent enough to become a winning quarterback. Which was pretty much the way he played during his first five NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
Here's the breakdown of the NFC West's quarterbacks:
Current projected 2012 starter: Alex Smith
Backups currently on roster: Colin Kaepernick, Scott Tolzien
Unit analysis: Seemingly on his way out of San Francisco when last year began – something that would have made a lot of people happy, including Smith – Smith had one of the most stunning quarterback transformations the QB-rich San Francisco franchise ever has seen. The No. 1 overall selection of the 2005 NFL draft, Smith finally reached the next level after six checkered seasons during which he seldom played above the level of a marginal starter. But with a new coaching staff and newborn confidence, Smith became a smart, efficient, mobile, ball-protecting quarterback who could both manage a game and move the offense and also step up as a playmaker when needed on occasion. Smith tied for the NFL lead and set a franchise record with five comeback victories during the regular season, then added another in the playoffs with a glittering performance against New Orleans that rated as the best game of his career. The most promising thing about Smith is he still has room for growth and is playing for a coaching staff that puts him in a position to succeed and seems to get the most out of his talent. Smith had the fewest interceptions among NFL starters last year and finished the season ranked ninth among the league's leading QBs with a career-high passer rating of 90.7. Another bonus in Smith's emergence was it allowed Kaepernick – a raw prospect with substantial ability – the opportunity to develop an entire season in a pro system without the need to throw him into the fire or put him in situations for which he wasn't ready. Kaepernick is the most physically-talented QB on the roster and has starting potential. Tolzien also got a redshirt year to develop and has the potential to run a NFL offense.
NinersDigest rank in division: 1
Arizona Cardinals
Current projected 2012 starter: Kevin Kolb
Backups currently on roster: John Skelton, Rich Bartel
Unit analysis: The Cardinals gave up plenty in a trade with Philadelphia last year to acquire Kolb, and then they lavished upon him a six-year, $65 million deal from which they received little immediate return in 2011. Kolb battled injuries and played in only nine games – all starts – while finishing 17th among NFL starters with a passer rating of 81.1 that included just nine touchdown passes. That's not exactly the production Arizona was paying for, but the Cardinals retain hope the trade for Kolb will eventually work out for them. Despite speculation the Cardinals may be interested in entering the potential Peyton Manning sweepstakes, Kolb is expected to enter offseason workouts as Arizona's starter. But Skelton – who directed a 21-19 upset of the 49ers last December, San Francisco's final loss until the NFC Championship Game – has closed the gap and could challenge to be the starter. Skelton's problem is inconsistency. He looked good in some starts last season but was shaky at other times. His numbers bear out his hot/cold nature – 11 TD passes and 14 interceptions for a passer rating of 68.9. That left Skelton 32nd among the 34 quarterbacks who qualified for the league's passer rankings. Bartel is very smart and has a future in coaching one day. But first, he'd like to make it as a player. He has bounced around three NFL teams in four seasons and has thrown 50 career passes for a career rating of 55.1.
NinersDigest rank in division: 3
St. Louis Rams
Current projected 2012 starter: Sam Bradford
Backups currently on roster: A.J. Feeley, Kellen Clemens, Tom Brandstater
Unit analysis: After becoming NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year during an auspicious debut season in 2010, Bradford had a disappointing sophomore season for a variety of reasons. He and running back Steven Jackson played one game healthy together, and there was a learning curve involved in Josh McDaniels' offense without an offseason. Then, after passing for 321 yards against Green Bay in the fifth game of the season, Bradford suffered a high ankle sprain that affected him for the rest of the year. He ended up starting just 10 games, and his passer rating plummeted to 70.7 – just 30th among the NFL's 34 qualifying quarterbacks. Bradford's six touchdown passes ranked last among regular NFL starters. But his body of work as a rookie suggests that Bradford still has a promising future and the best is ahead of him. Feeley led the Rams to their signature win of the season over New Orleans, but then he suffered a broken thumb on Dec. 4 against San Francisco and missed the final four games of the season. Clemens did well, considering he didn't join the team until late November. Clemens had the Rams flirting with a season-ending upset of the 49ers, rushing for a touchdown and passing for another before getting knocked out late in the fourth quarter of San Francisco's 34-27 victory. That gave journeyman Brandstater an opportunity to throw the first two passes of his career, both of which fell incomplete during St. Louis' final offensive drive. With Feeley a free agent, the Rams have a decision to make whether to bring back both him and Clemens or just one to be Bradford's backup in 2012.
NinersDigest rank in division: 2
Seattle Seahawks
Current projected 2012 starter: Tarvaris Jackson
Backups currently on roster: Charlie Whitehurst, Josh Portis
Unit analysis: Jackson is in the final season of a two-year, $8 million deal and likely will enter the 2012 season as the team's starter. Jackson has ability but was inconsistent directing a Seattle offense that ranked just 28th in the NFL last season. He started 14 games, completing 60.2 percent of his 450 passes for 3,091 yards and 14 touchdowns to go with 13 interceptions. His passer rating of 79.2 ranked 21st in the NFL. Whitehurst has been a major disappointment for the Seahawks and was quickly yanked after being given a starting opportunity near midseason. The Seahawks relinquished a third-round draft pick to acquire Whitehurst in 2010 and then signed him to a two-year, $8 million deal, expecting he could become a quality successor to Matt Hasselbeck. The Seahawks were rewarded with Whitehurst completing just 54 percent of his throws with more interceptions than TD passes and a passer rating of 64.6 over those two seasons. Whitehurst is now a free agent and Seattle is unlikely to ask him back. The Seahawks like Portis as a developmental prospect who could potentially be the team's quarterback of the future. Seattle will look at options like Matt Flynn to improve the position through free agency, but if that option proves too expensive, the Seahawks will draft a quarterback early in the college lottery to come in and compete for the job.
NinersDigest rank in division: 4

Pegida and right-wing groups plan march in Graz
The Local · 25 Jan 2016, 14:00
Published: 25 Jan 2016 14:00 GMT+01:00
- More Hitler salutes at Vienna Pegida demo (20 Apr 15)
- Nazi salute suspects identified from demo (16 Apr 15)
- Pegida marchers in Graz clash with left-wingers (30 Mar 15)
Other demonstrations are planned in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia and Finland, with organisers saying that they expect "tens of thousands of participants" to come out in force.
Marek Cernoch, from the Czech right-wing Dawn party, said at a meeting of demo organizers near Prague over the weekend that Graz would be one of the locations. He added that he expected people to come out in force to protest against German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders' "failed policies" on refugees.
Martin Konvicka, whose group 'Block Against Islam' represents the views of Pegida in the Czech Republic, added that the EU has been unable to solve the problem of immigration and has made it impossible for member states to make their own policies on migrants.
Police in Graz said they have not yet received notice from Pegida that it plans to hold a demonstration.
Last year several people were injured after clashes at a Pegida demonstration in Graz, and several people were filmed making Nazi salutes at a march in Vienna.
