We're equipment specialists, with over 99% of our business focused solely on medical equipment – a sharp contrast to our nearest competitor's portion of only 3-5%. Our sales personnel are highly-trained in both product knowledge and industry trends. This specialization gives us the insight and knowledge to provide a custom experience for you, helping you create the most efficient and cost effective purchasing course possible.
CME represents over 1000 manufacturers and 1,000,000 products. We have access to more verticals than most medical distributors including IT equipment and accessories, medical furniture, diagnostic equipment, appliances, electronics, janitorial equipment, physical therapy, casework, and wire shelving to name a few. If you can't find a product, give us a try. We have the ability to quickly seek and secure new lines. We are truly your one-stop shop when it comes to equipment purchases.
We realize that equipment purchases are different than your regular supply orders, especially if you are outfitting a new building, expansion or remodel. The logistics can be a nightmare and extremely costly. Most medical facilities do not have the storage space or extra personnel to do the receiving, storing, assembling and staging of the equipment. Then you have to find everything and deliver it to the right rooms. CME can offer an array of services to aid in the logistics of outfitting a new facility. We can procure the items, track all of the items, store, assemble, asset-tag, stage and delivery all of the items to the right room in the right configuration when you need them. We can even help install the items. We save you time and money throughout the process. Our goal is to make your remodel or new facility launch worry-free and cost-effective, taking care of every aspect of the equipment procuring and logistics process for you. We want to remove all equipment related stress, making it easy for you to launch on time, with less hassle.
After over a hundred years in business, our commitment remains the same. Our goal as a comprehensive medical equipment company is to provide personalized support and service including: a knowledgeable, accessible sales support team, a wide array of products, adaptable equipment logistics, and delivery assistance. Not only do we strive to make every step of this process easier for you, we make sure that you are updated every step along the way, from PO generation to delivery.
We can offer our services to any healthcare facility across the country. Claflin Medical Equipment joined forces with Hospital Associates in California and RSI Equipment in New York, completing the vision of a nationwide network of service centers. Don't believe us? Our map shows you that we truly do have representation across the country:
Founded in 1817, the Claflin Medical Equipment Company is a leading medical equipment specialist company serving hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, and general medical practices nationwide. Claflin also assists medical facilities with new building projects, equipment repair needs and biomedical support.
Hospital Associates, established in 1978, is a full service medical equipment distributor focusing on providing medical equipment for outfitting newly constructed facilities, expansions of existing facilities and remodeling projects.

Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
In the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), there are two levels of service: the Basic Rate Interface (BRI), intended for the home and small enterprise, and the Primary Rate Interface (PRI), for larger users. Both rates include a number of B-channels and a D-channel. Each B-channel carries data, voice, and other services. The D-channel carries control and signaling information.
Download Our Guide to Unified Network Management
What does it really take to unify network management? In this guide, we examine today's unified network management tools, which vendors are doing what in the market, and what this means for you, the modern network manager.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The Basic Rate Interface consists of two 64 Kbps B-channels and one 16 Kbps D-channel. Thus, a Basic Rate Interface user can have up to 128 Kbps service. The Primary Rate Interface consists of 23 B-channels and one 64 Kpbs D-channel using a T-1 line or 30 B-channels and 1 D-channel using an E1 line. Thus, a Primary Rate Interface user on a T-1 line can have up to 1.544 Mbps service or up to 2.048 Mbps service on an E1 line. PRI uses the Q.931 protocol over the D-channel.
The Primary Rate Interface channels are carried on a T-carrier system line (in the U.S., Canada, and Japan) or an E-carrier line (in other countries) and are typically used by medium to large enterprises. The 23 (or 30) B-channels can be used flexibly and reassigned when necessary to meet special needs such as videoconferences. The Primary Rate user is hooked up directly to the telephone company central office.

One of the most exciting plays in basketball is a jaw-dropping dunk. The 2011 NBA Draft features a number of players that can pull off some outstanding dunks.
Some of the players who make this list were introduced to us in the NCAA Tournament like Kenneth Faried.
Others, like Derrick Williams, are players whose vertical and athleticism were showcased throughout the entire college basketball season on national television.
Regardless of the coverage these players have received, there is no denying that these 10 players have what it takes to amaze NBA fans with their highlight dunks.
Let's take a look at the top 10 best dunkers in the upcoming 2011 NBA Draft.

Ion Gel Gate Material for Field Effect Transistors and Printed Electronics
Ion gel can replace solid polymers as an insulator of logic gates in field effect transistors. Solid polymers are transparent but have issues with degradation and conductibility. This problem was solved by using a polymer finely blended with an ionic liquid to create an ion gel. This ion gel gate material has dramatic improvements in conductivity which allows for potentially faster processing speeds, lower voltages, higher currents, and higher durability. The gate insulator material can also be deposited at room temperature directly onto plastic which opens up the number of possible applications. The ion gel gate material for use in field effect transistors is an easily applied and cost effective substance for use in low voltage electronics such as printed electronics. It provides higher current than conventional silicon thin film transistors which opens up possibilities in organic light emitting diodes and electronic signs.
Note: This ion gel technology has been licensed. If you have questions, please contact the University of Minnesota's Office for Technology Commercialization.
Applications Include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Electronic Signs, Electronic Displays, and Memory
Organic gate dielectrics such as the ion gel material are great options for low-cost, flexible substrate electronic applications such as printed electronics. The specific applications include radio frequency identification used in tracking products, animals, or people for the purpose of identification. The gate dielectrics may also be efficiently used in electronic signs, electronic displays, and various memory applications such as solid state memory.
- Operates at a low voltage, therefore allows significant power savings over solid polymer transistors
- Faster processing speeds because the high conductivity of the material allows for faster switching speeds over solid polymer transistors
- Ion gel can be deposited at room temperature making it amenable to printing onto plastic
- Higher current than conventional silicon thin film transistors opens up possibilities in organic light emitting diodes and electronic signs

Many years ago when I was interviewing Realtors to sell my home in Tennessee, I asked each of them a question. One of the Realtors, told me she could not answer that question. Another Realtor gave me an answer, but I felt it was a weak answer. The Realtor I selected was the one who gave the strongest answer, and we sold my home very quickly in 2007 while others were starting to have problems selling their homes.
80% of homes sell because they are listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and a few others because someone saw a sign in the front yard. Virtually any Realtor will put a sign in your yard and list your home for sale in MLS. I use a list of proprietary techniques to get homes sold quicker and for a higher price.
Any Realtor can put a sign in your front yard and enter your home in MLS - I pledge to offer your something different, something more - which other Realtors can't or won't do. Let's talk!
This is not intended to solicit any listing from homes that are currently listed. If you have questions or concerns with your current Realtor, I suggest you openly discuss your questions and concerns with your Realtor; after all, you are working as a team to sell your home.

Kirilenko and Ovechkin talking wedding plans
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- Tennis player Maria Kirilenko and hockey star Alex Ovechkin are talking wedding plans between their busy schedules, although the Russian couple hasn't set a date.
"Now it's a little bit difficult because I'm playing and Alex is playing," Kirilenko said Wednesday after winning her quarterfinal match at the BNP Paribas Open. "We are just in the period of talking what's the best. We will find the right day."
That might be soon, since Ovechkin's Washington Capitals are stuck near the bottom of the NHL standings. The couple announced their engagement on New Year's Day via his Twitter account.
"I think all the young girls, they want to have the best dress, the best wedding, and everything the best," said Kirilenko, a friend of designer Stella McCartney.
Kirilenko said she alternates between being nervous and calm for Ovechkin's games.
"I want him and the team to win so much," she said.
She tries not to worry about him getting injured.
"It can happen with us as well, we can twist our knee," she said. "Just better don't think. Just be positive. Don't try to find those bad things."
Ovechkin's advice to her? "Just go there and beat them," she said, laughing.

In April 1984, Adam and Mandy Jones took over the 'Little House Café' and repainted the dark brown exterior in green. The 'toasties' there were already legendary, so for the first year, they decided to keep things pretty much as they had been, but it soon became clear that Stone needed something more.
They removed the old railway-waiting-room furniture upstairs, obtained a licence, installed a small service bar in the corner, at the top of the stairs and Granvilles was born! Adam & Mandy spent several weeks trying to think of a good name for their new restaurant. One slightly drunk evening with friends, they realised that the answer had been staring at them all the time! The address was Granvilles Square, Stone.... The name had to be Granvilles!
The Square outside the restaurant was named in 1815 after the second Earl Granville of Stonepark. He was leader of The Liberal Party for over 30 years, and was Secretary of Foreign Affairs three times. The Plane tree that thrives in the square is thought to be the most notherly growing London Plane tree in the country and was planted in 1901 to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII. [Incidentally, these trees are able to capture and rid themselves of airborne pollutants by shedding their bark, and play an important role in improving air quality, particularly in London). The War Memorial was erected in 1921.
Anyway, back to our story...
A chance conversation with the neighbour and they managed to purchase the much larger building to the left. Initially taking over just the part of the building that included the dry cleaners, they were able to create the Cocktail Bar area downstairs. They also knocked through the back of the building and found a 4-foot deep 'garden' that no one had set foot in for at least 40 years! Who would have believed that could become the tranquil, flower-filled space now enjoyed by so many? The first, brick bar was built in the area now occupied by the sideboard and coffee machine; the first musicians had to play in a small recess opposite the bar.
In 1990, they acquired all the ground floor previously occupied by H.G.Paints & Wallpapers, enabling them to extend the downstairs area and construct the stage so a greater variety of musicians could be booked. And a very successful appearance by George Melly and John Chiltern's Feetwarmers heralded the start of one of the most famous and well renowned live music venues in the Midlands, attracting a multitude of world-famous performers including Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazzband, Chris Barber & His band, Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen, Ronnie Scott, Humphrey Lyttleton, Stan Boardman, Paul Boardman, Digby Fairweather & His Half-dozen, King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys, Georgie Fame, Jess Roden, Alan Price, China Crisis, The Temperance Seven, Alan Hull and Ray Clements from Lindisfarne, Zoot Money, Sonja Kristina of Curved Air, Ruby Turner, Screaming Lord Sutch, Marie Wilson, Giles Hedley and many more!
With the restaurant upstairs and regular live music downstairs, some diners felt they were missing out on some of the lively atmosphere, so having firstly created the gallery above where the bands play, it seemed an obvious progression to move the restaurant downstairs too! The upstairs is now an extra bar area open at weekends but has also become a popular choice for private parties and private dinner clubs with its separate kitchen area. 27 years on & Granvilles has evolved into one of "Staffordshire's BEST KNOWN RESTAURANT AND MUSIC VENUE" and has welcomed thousands of customers of all ages throughout the last two and a half decades, including such celebrities as Sir Cliff Richard, Lulu, Jasper Conran, Paul Jones, Billy Bragg, Feargal Sharkey, Ian Duncan Smith, not to mention such celebrity chefs as Paul Rankin, Mary Berry, James Tanner, Anthony Worrall-Thompson and The Hairy Bikers!

Re: Confined Space PPE
We were at a cont ed class last winter and an OSHA rep was there. Everyone in attendance was a small operation, maybe two three guys at most. She's talking about the confined space requirements and everything and everyones talking about their experiences. She pulls out a meter and asked one of the guys in the front to start it up, calibrate it etc. Not a single one of the 30 guys in attendance had a clue how to use it. She's up there just flabbergasted, dont you guys use these everyday?, you have to use these, its in our regulations!
Ya gotta love the disconnect between what the powers that be say should be done and what actually happens.

Re: Confined Space PPE
Ya gotta love the disconnect between what the powers that be say should be done and what actually happens.
Or are you implying the disconnect is within OSHA or with your state if you live in a state with with their own plan (there are about 22 I believe).
It sad to say but "small operations" are the biggest offenders. And they have a encyclopedia of excuses for doing so.
- Too expensive
- Impacts production
- Employees won't cooperate/use PPE
- Can't be competitive and work safe
- and on and on.
If you know its not being done right but you do it anyway you are just a guilty as the person doing it or who said to do the job in an unsafe manner."It's a table saw, do you know where your fingers are?" Bob D. 2006
Time, cost, or quality; pick any two but you can't have all three.

As part of Edelman's team, created special edition infographics for IMAX 10 year anniversary celebration in Russia. Produced bi-lingual designs in English and Russian for use in publications, social media and event signage.
We developed a fresh branding system for the CNBC Repositioning Initiative. The main goal was to showcase the programming success and upcoming steps as well as to get clients excited about what is happening during CNBC Business Day and CNBC Prime. The final presentation emphasized innovative ways to measure the network's performance by providing robust insights about CNBC viewers.
The newly created visual language for the CNBC Repositioning Initiative was fully dynamic and flexible – it could work with a variety of data by reconfiguring a highly adjustable network of polygonal nodes. It also had an added benefit: the final digital delivery of the program's content to the advertisers was designed to be modular so that there were two different paths to choose from — CNBC Business Day or CNBC Prime, depending on the interests of the clients.
NBC News was in the process of examining the rapidly changing news market and recalibrating their message to better resonate in this new landscape. As part of this effort, they had spent two years exploring the question, "Why should advertisers place their message in the NBC News environment rather than any other news media environment?"
We were given the analytic findings of the two independent studies and asked to translate all the quantitative data into an easily digestible visual format. This digital summary report was going to be presented at the annual advertisers gathering, as well as in various internal meetings with NBC Universal top-level executives throughout the year.
After several working sessions with NBC analysts, we generated innovative ways to represent the study findings. The resulting Prezi presentation relied on animated infographics and unique chart types (such as spider charts and bubble charts) that best represented the complex statistical data. A new sub-brand was created for NBC News which was subsequently used as a standard for other department communications, presentations and social media assets.
As part of the process, we've designed a set of infographics to be specifically used in future publications and articles by the NBC's PR firm. At the same time, the Why News Presentation was shown over 40 times to senior executives and clients, collecting rave reviews from all.
The Connelly Theater had a double billing featuring two plays in one night: one by Tennessee Williams, and the other by Marguerite Duras. The challenge was to create a campaign that focused on both equally.
After scripts review, a common meta-theme emerged: both plays mused nostalgically on the bittersweet longing, the elusiveness of memories and the ephemeral nature of time passing. We utilized some of the video footage from one of the plays along with a newly commissioned outside photography to come up with a concept that spoke to the deeper emotional truth of the two plays.
In concert with the gradual unfolding of the stories, we've employed a strategy of gradual reveal to convey a sense of intrigue to the potential viewers. The initial teaser s had the image partially obscured, as if by a blindfold. Then it was revealed in the subsequently mailed postcard invitations, as well as the posters and the programs found at the theater.
The opening night enjoyed phenomenal attendance and a palpable level of anticipation. The director was very happy to have her vision carried through each touchpoint. Intrigued by the mysterious buildup, audience members lingered in front of the posters before each performance, letting their imaginations run wild and fill the gaps. Some said they could discern a phantom face appearing in the poster image when they looked at it from a particular angle.
Novo Nordisk was preparing to celebrate the FDA approval of its revolutionary diabetes drug degludec. As part of Todd Street Productions team, I helped create a unique campaign through which team members could gain valuable insights about the brand and become motivated about the future of degludec.
This visual campaign uncovered the potential of degludec by using the metaphorof moving from the ordinary into the extraordinary. Using both objects and people, we brought the campaign to life. For example, loose-leaf paper represented the ordinary, and folded origami realizes the paper's extraordinary potential.
The first phase of this campaign included 'object' Ordinary to Extraordinary pairings . . . and 'people' Ordinary to Extraordinary pairings. The last phase of the campaign also incorporated NNI team members' suggestions of Ordinary to Extraordinary pairings. The end result was a cohesive branded campaign that showed the true transforming potential of the new brand.
In addition to the team graphics, the deliverables included branding posters, tent cards with celebration Invite, campaign pop-up banners and column wraps, edible fruit basket cards "Compliments of Launch Team", "deglu" – daiquiri cups, and a set of presentation templates.
La Prairie is one of the leading high-end cosmetics and skin care brands in Europe and the United States. Their 2015 annual product launch in Dubai was an event of a great magnitude, with a goal to generate an unprecedented level of excitement about the four new product lines.
Working with four teams simultaneously made for an incredibly fast-paced project. However, It offered a high degree of autonomy and called for for a take-charge creative direction while meticulously managing the workflow – that of my own and another designer.
Another challenge came from the fact that the product assets for the brand new product lines (such as packaging photography and 3d renderings) have not been generated yet, so many mockups had to be created on-the-fly.
Applying a bold approach more commonly found in cutting-edge publications to design and typography, we had created a stunning new visual standard that was replicated across all the product lines. The final result overcame all expectations with its refined quality and timeless elegance that La Prairie's products are known for. The Global Brand Development VP commented on the evocative event visuals appealing to the audience on a very deep visceral level.
Needless to say, the product launch was a great success with the company's executives, managers and beauty advisers. We were asked to do a similar process for the following phase of the product launch in Paris.
Designed to enhance the well-being of guests and associates around the world, Westin launched a year-long initiative introducing a string of innovative partnerships and programs across Westin's six brand pillars: Feel Well, Work Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well and Play Well.
To bring more awareness to these initiatives, a concept of The Westin Well-Being Movement was born. A yearlong global activation, the Movement featured innovative social media programming and experiential activations such as Mediation Moments in iconic NYC locations and partnerships with renowned experts like Arianna Huffington.
In partnership with Taylor Strategy, we have designed the brand graphics, custom suite of icons and the collateral for these programs that can be seen across 200 properties around the world. The materials included posters, a website, digital signage at check-in desks and guest room key cards.
Women's eNews is an award-winning nonprofit that covers women's Issues and promotes integrity in journalism empowering women and girls to take their rightful place in the world. Their annual 21 Leaders for the 21st Century celebration gala honors those who are challenging the dominate narratives through words and deeds.
We created a Prezi presentation that told a compelling story of each nominee in one of the three categories. The strong and colorful design scheme was inspired by the boldness and power of each of the individual women's stories.
The client was absolutely delighted with the way their story was told. They proudly shared it on their website and through all their social media channels, where it continued to inspire the new generation of women.
In collaboration with Centron agency, we created a brand system for Osphena, the first and only non-estrogen treatment for severe menopause symptoms. The final product was a digital presentation that pharma reps could take with them on the road. It featured animated charts illustrating the clinical trials data.
The design was met with a lot of enthusiasm and unanimous approval from the client without any significant changes.
Kate Raudenbush is a New York-based artist specializing in laser-cut metal sculptures. Over the years, we have collaborated on creating her brand from the ground-up as it was taking shape through many promotional pieces such as posters, invitations, brochures and postcards for various benefit galas, exhibits and events.
The latest project was a self-promo card designed to feature the artist at the annual Art Basel show. The logo was meant to evoke the ethereal quality of Kate's metal work.
Melting Morsel fine bakery needed a new look that was sophisticated and contemporary, just like their mouth-watering gourmet desserts. The pattern that became their visual signature was inspired by the traditional decoration of Napoleon minis, one of the bakery's specialties.
Created a new and dynamic identity (logo and business cards) for an innovative boutique specializing in wearable light designs for costumes and special events. Worked closely with client to establish a sophisticated tone that would appeal to a more high-end clientele.
New brand image served to raise the profile of the Britelite business and increase its visibility and credibility in the emerging market.
Anya Kamenetz is a game-changer, an expert on and the author of several books about the future of education. As a staff writer for Fast Company magazine, a columnist for Tribune Media Services and a lead education blogger at NPR, she often is asked to speak at college graduations and conferences such as TED Talks. For her international speaking engagement at Farshaw College in Canada, Anya reached out to nv-design. The mission: to create a fresh and engaging presentation that would embody her no-nonsense innovative approach to the future of education.
The resulting design strived to convey a sense of credibility while also remaining whimsical and playful, as inspired by Anya herself who tends to avoid the soapbox style of too many books on education reform today. The audience's feedback was extremely positive, and the students remained actively engaged throughout the entire talk.
Russell Simmons co-founded RushCard to help previously under-served communities gain access to services that enable them to achieve their personal and financial goals.We participated in the initial phase of color and branding explorations as part of the overall brand development by Merkley+Partners.
Constellation It is the world's leading premium wine company, with more than 100 brands sold in more than 100 countries. We were tasked with creating a memorable peace that could quickly convey to employees the division's goal and strategy. This deliverable needed to to be produced in print form as well as to live digitally. The additional support materials with a greater lever of detail were also to be included.
Our solution was to create a memorable star-shaped keepsake peace that employees would keep on their desks. The star could be open to display the details of the five-year strategy plan as a foldout poster.
This was created for MSLGROUP.

Sounds like the joy of C++/CLI (.NET) infecting the syntax highlighting of ordinary C++ code. (MSDN: Arrays, C++ Component Extensions) The same thing always bugged me about the token event. Never did find a way to turn off the non-standard C++ syntax highlighting, but I don't recall looking too hard. If you search around, you might find something.

As for the reason it is included, the language evolved again and std::Array is part of it. Visual Studio picks up the word Array and colors it accordingly. C++ has evolved multiple times, with the language standards or standard additions coming in 1998 (standard), 2003 (standard), 2005 (addendum), 2007 (addendum), 2011 (standard). C++14 (a standard) is just about to be signed off, and C++17 is already a working draft.

It is very common with regard to to achieve stretchmarks inside of their stomach alongside the different parts of themselves as being a result different reasons, in adolescent kids can be displayed due to rapid growth, can also be common is overweight people that loss weight quickly and pregnant women.
Another good home treatment for stretch marks may peanut butter that could be a strong one and works wonder, provided you have used them regularly. Aloe vera cream gel is in addition a one that efficient is rubbed for your involved area regularly for a time. One more thing possible try is rubbing coconut oil inside the involved area and it too works wells. However, as with several herbal treatments, it has to be done regularly on the area affected to convert good result naturally, if experience reduce them once, may perhaps perhaps not have them back.

After you have set up your Pro Tools gear and connected all the components, it's time to tell your computer what hardware you want to use with Pro Tools. As you can see here, I have already launched Pro Tools, and now I am going to go to the Setup menu and choose Hardware. In this dialog box, we can choose from any of the peripherals that are connected to our system. A peripheral refers to a device that you can use to listen through and record with while running Pro Tools. If you have a specific Avid Digidesign or M-Audio interface, such as the 003 shown here, you'll usually want to choose that.
However, you can also choose a third-party device. There are a few listed here. You can use a third party device with Core Audio device software drivers on Mac computers. Core Audio connects the audio streams between audio hardware and software applications like Pro Tools. On a PC, Steinberg's Audio Stream Input Output, or ASIO drivers provide the same function as Core Audio on a Mac, thus you can use third party interfaces with a PC with Pro Tools as well.
The Pro Tools Aggregate I/O is an option that enables you to use any of the available built-in input and output channels on your computer. This is only a Mac feature, and I will talk about this later in this video. Let's go back and look at the 003 interface. First, we have got the Clock Source. The Clock Source is the timing reference that all the digital gear in your Pro Tools system has to sync up with to ensure accurate playback and recording. The majority of the time you will probably leave this as Internal when using Pro Tools as the SyncMaster.
The only time to change this option is when you're syncing to another device that you'll want to have provide the timing reference. Below the Clock Source is the Sample Rate. What you choose here will be the default sampling rate when you start up a session with this interface, and I will explain sampling rate in a video later in this chapter. For the 003, we also have the Optical Format. There is an optical interface on the back of the 003 that you can choose between ADAT and S/PDIF.
On many of the other devices, you won't have this option here in the Hardware Setup. And below that, we have the Footswitch Control. If your Pro Tools interface supports a footswitch, you can tell Pro Tools what you want to do with it--whether you want to use it to record via punching in and out or use it for playback start and stop. Going back over to the Pro Tools Aggregate I/O, this is a Mac only option that enables you to use any of the available built-in input and output channels on your computer.
When using the Pro Tools Aggregate I/O, M-Audio interfaces, or any other third party interface with Pro Tools, you should click the Launch Setup App button to configure the hardware settings. The Launch Setup App button will start up the program or driver appropriate for your connected device. There is a wide variety of these, but the one that shows up for Pro Tools Aggregate I/O on a Mac is the Audio MIDI Setup. So here, I will choose Pro Tools Aggregate I/O. In this window, you can adjust the Clock Source based on the Built-in Line Input, Built-in Output, or the second Built-in Line Output.
There will be a variety of options here for you depending on your computer system's layout. And you can tell Pro Tools what you want to use with this setup by activating or deactivating these particular audio devices. Check off any of the audio devices that you will be using. You can even configure your speakers using this button down here. When you're done, you can quit this app, and you'll have your Pro Tools set up for your Pro Tools Aggregate I/O system setting, and you will also want to hit OK to finalize it.
So you can use a wide variety of interfaces--even on your own computer's built-in audio devices--as your interface with Pro Tools. Use the hardware setup to make the appropriate settings for your interface.

Dedicated winter tires will help your truck or SUV get a better grip on snow and ice. Some are designed specifically for light trucks, SUVs, and other heavier vehicles, but most come in a wide selection of sizes and are also suitable for passenger tires.
The top pick for this edition of our snow tires report is the Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi2 (Est. $125 and up). It's the predecessor to what experts consider to be the best all-around snow tire, the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 (Est. $85 and up), which is profiled in our section on the best winter tires. Today, the X-Ice Xi2 is primarily offered as a winter tire for those who drive heavier vehicles, such as vans and light-duty pickups. It's top rated in this category by one expert reviewer. Wheels.ca interviews a Canadian tire dealer who also names that tire as one of the top performers in this class. About.com includes it among the top tires to consider for SUVs and similar vehicles.
If there's a red flag, it's a small one. Though there's no current testing of the Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi2 at TireRack.com, it comes out fourth out of the four light truck/SUV studless ice & snow tires rated by users there. However, a closer look reveals that most drivers are actually quite pleased. It earns a 4-star rating, with 95 percent saying that the tire is the best one in the category.
Some of the impressions shared by experts and users are a little contradictory, but overall the picture that emerges is one of a competent performer in most regards. Its major weakness is traction in deep snow, but dry and light snow traction are top notch -- "Steering is precise and responsive and the tires handle extremely well overall, considering that they are still snow tires, says About.com's Sean Phillips.
Experts also applaud the ride that these Michelin snow tires deliver -- "Quiet, with a comfortable ride," says the APA. The low rolling resistance as reported in one review is also a plus when it comes to fuel economy. The Latitude X-Ice Xi2 is covered by one of the better warranties for snow tires, the same as Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi3, including a six-year, 40,000 mile treadwear warranty and six years for workmanship or materials, with a free replacement for the first year.
The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 (Est. $110 and up) is another tire to consider. Designed and sized specifically for light trucks and SUVs, this tire is an owner favorite according to surveys at TireRack.com. It also does well in independent testing, though it's eclipsed slightly by other tires for truck owners, including the Latitude X-Ice Xi2. The Bridgestone is a top performer in snow and, especially on ice, but braking on wet surfaces and overall handling are poorly rated.
Still, owners absolutely rave about the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1's real-world grip. Customers at TireRack.com award the DM-V1 top scores on wet, snowy and icy roads and slightly lower (but still excellent) scores for dry-cornering stability and steering response. One concern is availability; we noted some closeout pricing at some retailers -- so shop carefully for the best buy if the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 is the tire you want for your light truck, van or SUV.
The Automotive Protection Association (APA) points out that consumers can sometimes save money by minus-sizing -- buying a smaller wheel and a narrower tire for snow use. While this applies to any type of vehicle, it is an especially helpful technique for light truck and SUV owners; smaller winter tires are easier to find, which can expand your range of choices. In addition, it can be cheaper than having a garage swap your tires on the existing rims -- even considering the expense of buying the second set of wheels. "Savings of $80 to $300 per set of four are possible by downsizing the wheel and tire combination, depending on the vehicle," the APA says. However, if your vehicle is equipped with a wheel-mounted tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS), you'll may have to buy sensors for your snow tires' wheels, too (see the Buying Guide for more information). Your tire retailer should be able to provide more information, and have guides that list appropriate substitute sizes for your vehicle.

Oh Lenny...
It appears that the once proud Philadelphia Phillie can't seem to find his head these days...or his clothes, for that matter. The news coming in of Dykstra's post-retirement exploits makes Charlie Sheen look sane and rational. (They are good friends...clap if you are surprised at all. Clap twice if it's equally surprising that Dykstra thinks Sheen is A-OK.)
The problem with Dykstra is his exploits are so random and weird that we wonder if they are real at all. Trust me...they are very, very real. So much so that he's one hyperbolic chamber from Michael Jackson crazy, or one evacuation to an undisclosed region of Canada away from being Randy Quaid crazy.
Or just maybe Dykstra's already gone there.
Let's look at some of the smooth moves this lifetime .285 hitter has made since the end of his run as one of the Boys of Summer.

The present invention relates to pressurized fluid-dispensing systems and techniques, being particularly, though not exclusively, directed to the dispensing of viscous fluids such as resins, epoxies, urethanes, adhesives, silicones and the like and including both single and dual component catalytic materials, and to applications concerned even more particularly, but again not exclusively, with the requirement of uniformly dispensed materials as for gasket heads and similar adhering seals and the like.
While the art is replete with numerous types of pressurized-fluid dispensing apparatus, systems and machines, including those for the above and other viscous fluids, and for a myriad of different uses and applications, many employ cylindrical chamber piston-activated pumps for enabling the microprocessor-controlled pressurized dispensing of fluid that is filled into and then dispensed from the volume of the piston chambers. In view of the limited volume of such piston chambers, however, pairs of such pumps or dual or double-acting pumps have been employed with valving techniques for switching from an emptied piston-pump chamber to an adjacent filled pump chamber for fluid dispensing through a common static mixer or other dispensing head. A typical system of this type is the 2500 series double-acting dispensers of Ashley Cross Company of Newburyport, Mass. and similar resin-dispensing systems of others wherein when one piston pump empties, the other is switched to the dispensing head to continue the fluid dispensing while the emptied piston chamber is re-filled with fluid.
Unfortunately, for some applications, however, where strict uniformity of the dispensed fluid is essential, as, for example, in laying down a uniform sealing bead as for adhering a gasket or the like, the switching from one dispensing pump to the second usually involves an interruption in the dispensed fluid flow, or at least a marked variation in its deposit—generally, quite abrupt stopping during the transfer—that forbids the laying down of a constant-dimension bead throughout.
It is to the solution of this problem and other related difficulties with such prior art piston pump dispensing systems that the present invention is primarily directed, the invention providing for constant velocity of fluid dispensing flow throughout the alternate dispensing and filling of the pairs of piston pump chambers, including during the switching between them.
It is accordingly a principal object of the invention to provide a new and improved pressurized fluid-dispensing microprocessor-controlled pumping system and method that shall not be subject to the above-described and other limitations and problems of prior systems but that, to the contrary, shall provide for a constant pressure dispensing of uniform deposits even during the switching between alternately dispensing and filling pairs of piston pumps.
A further object is to provide an improved viscous fluid piston pump dispensing system of more general application as well.
Other and further objects will be explained hereinafter and are more particularly delineated in the appended claims.
In summary, however, from one of its important aspects, the invention embraces a method of uniformly dispensing pressurized fluid in a fluid path containing a pair of alternately filling and dispensing piston pump cylinders adapted alternately to dispense the fluid through a common dispensing outlet; that comprises, controlling the dispensing of fluid from one pump cylinder to the outlet at a predetermined dispensing pressure and predetermined dispensing rate; as the fluid in one pump cylinder is emptying, decelerating its dispensing rate; during such decelerating, accelerating the dispensing to the outlet of the fluid filled in the other pump cylinder; controlling the decelerating in the said one pump cylinder and the accelerating in the other, so as to maintain constancy of said predetermined fluid dispensing rate at the outlet, including during the transition of dispensing from said one to said other pump cylinder; and refilling the fluid in the said one pump cylinder during the dispensing by said other pump cylinder.
Preferred and best mode designs and techniques are hereinafter fully detailed.
The invention will now the explained in connection with the accompanying drawings,
As before stated, the purpose of the design of the present invention is to produce a constant flow rate pump by using the combined flow from two separate piston pumps. The combined action of the two pumps can continuously dispense a volume of viscous and similar fluids that is larger than the individual volume of either. As one pump dispenses, the other refills. While this method in itself is not new, however, present-day implementations all share the same serious short coming that when the flow switches over from one pump to the other, the flow is momentarily disrupted. This, as earlier explained, may have serious consequences in particular applications requiring the dispensing of beads or layers of constant cross section, or when dispensing a two-part material where the ratio must not vary.
The system of
The system schematic of
In the Fill position, the valves direct flow from the fluid supply inlet ports 17 and 18 to the respective pump cylinders 15 and 16. In the Off position, all flow to or from the pump cylinders is cut off. In the Partial position, the ball valves 11 and 12 are opened just enough to verify the pressure balance (later explained). In the Dispense position, the ball valves direct flow from the pump cylinders to the single, common outlet port 19. Step motors 20 and 21 rotate respective ball valves 11 and 12.
The valve positions are read by valve position sensors 22–27. Initially, the Partial position of the ball valves is determined by applying dispensing pressure with the valve closed, and then slowly rotating the ball valve until the pressure drops slightly.
Attached to the common outlet port 19 is the dispensing hose 30, in turn attached to a dispensing valve 31, and, depending on the application, to a static mixer, so-indicated at the bottom of
The system of
The user enters the dispensing parameters into the microprocessor 1 in well-known fashion. The user is prompted by the LCD display 3 to enter this information, using the keypad 4 into the microprocessor 1, in conventional fashion. Initially, the required pressure to fill the pump cylinders within a user-specified time is determined. This predetermined pressure is then entered into the microprocessor 1.
When the system starts up, it initially refills both pump cylinders. First, the ball valves 11 and 12 rotate to the Fill position. With the pump cylinders now opened to the respective inlet ports, the pressure sensors are used to verify that the input pressure is sufficient to fill the cylinders. If not, an error message is generated and the system halts until the user corrects the problem. If the inlet pressure drops during the refilling cycle, the cycle is terminated, an error message is generated, and the system halts until the user corrects the problem. The pump cylinder full position is detected by full position sensors shown at 34 and 35.
The system is then purged. To do this, the dispense valve 31 is opened and both ball valves 11 and 12 are rotated to their Dispense position. The system now fills the respective output cavities 32 and 33 as well as the outlet hose 30, all the way to its end where the dispense valve is attached. The length of the dispense hose depends upon the user's requirement. With the system purged, the dispense valve 30 and both ball valves 11 and 12 are closed.
To dispense, ball valve 11 opens to the Dispense position. Step motor 7 drives piston 28 in pump cylinder 15 of pump A. The pressure sensor 13 monitors the pressure and when the required dispensing pressure is reached, the dispensing valve 31 opens. The required predetermined dispensing pressure may be determined by previous experiment—for example, 350 psi for proper dispensing of the material. Encoder 9 is used to verify that dispensing is taking place and at the exact rate specified. Pressure sensor 13 is used to verify that the dispensing pressure is maintained within the predetermined range. An error from the encoder or a high pressure reading indicates a blockage of fluid flow. A low pressure reading indicates escape of material from the system. In either case, dispensing terminates and a warning is sounded. The user or operator must correct the problem before dispensing can resume. If no error is detected, dispensing continues.
As the dispensing so continues, the software continuously recalculates the remaining volume of material in the pump cylinder based on the known pump cylinder volume, dispensing speed, and elapsed time. When the volume reaches the near-empty point, the switchover from pump A to the other pump B is initiated.
The following steps are used for the switchover from cylinder 15 of pump A to cylinder 16 of pump B.
At this point, cylinder 16 is continuing dispensing and cylinder 15 has been refilled. The same procedure as that just described is repeated for switching from cylinder 16 of pump B back to cylinder 15 of pump A, as follows:
At this point, cylinder 15 of pump A is dispensing, and cylinder 16 of pump B has been refilled. This cycle of events continues until the program halts the dispensing.
Through this use of dual piston pump modules working in tandem, a continuous dispensing is effected without the need to pause during the refill cycle, as would be the case if the A component and B component were each to pass through a single pumping system. Instead, as one pump cylinder dispenses, the other refills. And the ability to operate without interruption greatly increases the potential size of a given sealant bead, for example, since the maximum volume of the dispense cycle is now determined by the capacity of the material reservoirs (e.g. two 5 gallon tanks) and not by the volume held within any one of the cylinders.
The output of the pumps in practice is routed to the dispensing head through high pressure, metal braid, Teflon hoses, and the dispensing head contains pneumatically operated shut-off valves to eliminate dripping or fluid run-on, once the desired volume of material has been dispensed.
Prototype apparatus has been used, for example, for dispensing high viscosity fluids (e.g. 300,000 cps filled material) at a rate of, for example, 200 ml/minute, with the system offering features that promote its accuracy, repeatability and ease-of-use. The dispensing system allows authorized personnel to set (1) the mix ratio of materials in a range from 1.00:1.00 to 25.00:1.00; (2) the bead volume/inch; and (3) the dispensing rate, simply by entering values from the keyboard 4 and with no mechanical adjustment required.
The pair of software driven-dual piston pump modules forming the heart of the system, enables the use of positive displacement technology with each piston being driven independently by a closed-loop step motor to achieve accurate dispensing and verify performance, as above described. The system, moreover, readily lends itself to use with a vertically positioned XYZ table where desired.
To summarize the principles of operation of the invention, the system is designed to dispense material at a constant rate in order to deliver controlled uniform beads or similar deposits. The key to achieving this is to maintain constant pressure throughout the system; i.e., at every point from the cylinders, through the hoses, dispensing head, and static mixer. If the pressure isn't held constant, then the hoses will expand and contract and, as a consequence, the dispensing rate will vary, leading to uneven beads.
It is especially critical, as earlier discussed, to maintain constant system pressure during the material switchover from one pump cylinder to the other. The following steps summarize the procedure used to assure a smooth transition in the alternate dispensing between cylinders.
It should be noted that steps 2–5 occur substantially simultaneously and that each cylinder valve is independently driven by its own step motor so that the valve opening and closing rate can be precisely controlled. The step motors, moreover, accelerate and decelerate such that their combined speeds remain equal to the desired dispensing speed, with such control of the valves and motors assuring that the pressure throughout the fluid path, and therefore the dispensing rate, remains constant.
The cut-away isometric view of
Where multiple component fluids are to be dispensed, such as resins and catalyst fluids or the like, two pairs of piston pumps may be used. As earlier mentioned, variable mix ratios may also readily be adjusted.
Further modifications will also occur to those skilled in this art, and such are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
