The present invention introduces a speakerbar which mounts above or below
a flat screen TV and reproduces the surround sound experience normally
associated with speakers placed in five to seven separate locations
around the room.
This particular invention effectively increases the perceived stereo
separation of the left and right front speakers, and creates the
perception of two and even four surround speakers typically placed in the
rear of the listening area. In addition, it introduces new technology to
achieve multichannel bass extension beyond the normal limitations due to
the minimal internal volume of a multichannel speakerbar.
1. A speakerbar for a multichannel sound source comprising:an elongated
housing having a front, a rear and two sides,an input for each channel of
the multichannel sound source, said inputs including a center channel
input, left and right front channel inputs and left and right surround
channel inputs,at least one front baffle speaker mounted in said front
wall of said housing so that sound from said front baffle speaker is
projected forwardly of said housing front,at least one left side speaker
and at least one right side speaker mounted in either said rear or said
sides of said housing so that sound from said side speakers is projected
in a non-forward direction of said housing front,wherein said left side
speaker includes at least two coils, one said left coil input connected
to said left front channel input and another left coil input connected to
said left surround channel input, andwherein said right side speaker
includes at least two coils, one said right coil input connected to said
right front channel input and another right coil input connected to said
right surround channel input.
2. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said at least one center surround speaker includes at least three coils, one front baffle speaker coil electrically connected to said center channel input and the other two front baffle speaker coils electrically connected to said left and right channel inputs, respectively.
3. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said left and right surround inputs include left front and rear surround inputs and right front and rear surround inputs, and wherein said left speaker includes three coils two of which are connected to said left front and rear surround inputs and wherein said right speaker includes three coils two of which are connected to said right front and rear surround inputs.
4. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said side speakers are mounted in said sides of said housing, said sides of said housing being angled rearwardly from said front of said housing.
5. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said front baffle speaker comprises a main front baffle speaker and a single coil front tweeter, said tweeter coil being connected to said center channel input.
6. The invention as defined in claim 5 wherein said main front baffle speaker further comprises a double coil front left speaker having its coils connected to the left front channel input and center channel input and a double coil front right speaker having its coils connected to the right front channel input and center channel input.
7. The invention as defined in claim 6 and comprising a single coil left front tweeter having its coil connected to the left front channel input and a single coil right front tweeter having its coil connected to the right front channel input.
7. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of said speakers is oval in shape.
[0001]This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/018,914 filed Jan. 4, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0003]The present invention relates generally to audio speakers and, more particularly, to a speakerbar for use with a multichannel sound source.
[0005]The rapid emergence of shallow depth flat screen televisions has caused speaker manufacturers to rethink the ideal cosmetic shape of speakers to be used for home theater systems. Such home theater systems are intended to deliver three, five or even seven individual channels of sound with a like number of speakers per channel. Unfortunately, the use of separate speakers for each channel results not only in room clutter, but also difficulties in actually wiring the speakers to the multichannel sound source.
[0006]A new speaker design, however, has gained popularity recently, particularly when used with flat screen televisions. The industry term to describe these new speakers is "speakerbar". Speakerbars typically include an elongated housing which fits below or above the television. Typically, the speakerbars have a width of two to four feet, are shallow in depth and short in height to both minimize visual intrusion and complement the flat screen television's shallow depth.
[0007]In order to accommodate the built-in internal or external multichannel sound source (receiver or amplifier), these previously known speakerbars have included at least one speaker for each channel of the multichannel sound source. Corresponding inputs on or in the speakerbar housing are provided to electrically connect the multichannel source to its associated speaker. Each individual speaker within or on the housing requires a minimum enclosure volume for a given bass extension. For example: to extend down to 100 Hz, the target high frequency cut-off for a subwoofer would require a housing three times as large as for three similar speakers compared to a housing for a single similar speaker.
[0008]The previously known speakerbars, however, suffer from several disadvantages: First, since the speakerbar itself is relatively small, only relatively small speakers may be used. Small speakers, especially those below 51/4'' diameter (or 4''×6''), have difficulty extending to 100 Hz (the maximum target crossover to a subwoofer), and reproducing a target of at least 100 decibels of output in the 100 Hz to 250 Hz (lower midrange) spectrum. Secondly, since each lower midrange speaker in the bar needs a minimum air volume to reach 100 Hz (or preferably even lower), there simply is not enough total air volume in the bar. To match properly with a subwoofer, each 51/4'' or 4×6'' speaker requires a minimum bar housing of approximately 18''. The result is that technology used in the previously known speakerbars causes them to fall short of the combination of low frequency response of at least 100 Hz and output of at least 100 decibels when more than two channels are included in the bar. A further disadvantage of the previously known speakerbars is a maximum limitation of five channels, probably due to limitations in the number of speakers which will fit in an acceptably sized enclosure. These five channels include the front left, front center and front right speakers, and left and right rear wall surround speakers. However, in today's technology, the number of sound channels has increased to seven channels by adding left and right side wall surround speakers. Furthermore, an attempt to accommodate seven channel sound by simply adding additional speakers to the speakerbar results in a further reduction of volume allowed for each speaker which further limits the bass response of the speakerbar. The only option with existing technology to reach down to 100 Hz and play at 100 decibels output is to increase cabinet size to unacceptable proportions for most of the population.
[0009]Conventionally, separate speakers for the left and right channel have a recommended separation of approximately two-thirds the seating distance from the television screen. If a listener sits the typical ten feet or greater distance from the screen, this would require that the left and right speakers be positioned seven or more feet apart from each other to create the proper soundstage. The previously known speakerbars, however, typically have a width of only two to four feet thus greatly diminishing the preferred width of the soundstage. Furthermore, the general consensus is that the speakerbar should not be wider that the television from an aesthetic standpoint.
[0010]The present invention provides speakerbar designs which overcome all of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the previously known speakerbars, in a cosmetically acceptable enclosure. These designs also do not require DSP and, therefore, can be used with conventional and readily available surround receivers and amplifiers.
[0011]In brief, the speakerbar of the present invention comprises an elongated housing having a front, a rear and two sides with typically a maximum required size of 5.5''H×5.5''W×24''d for FIGS. 1-4, and 5.5''H×5.5''W×40''L for FIG. 5. An input for each channel of a multichannel sound source is also attached to the housing, or could be accomplished internally with built-in amplification. Consequently, for a five channel speakerbar, the inputs would include the front left, center and right channels, and left and rear wall surround channels. For a seven channel system, the speakerbar would include seven inputs for the additional left and right rear side wall surround channels.
[0012]In one application of the invention (FIG. 1), only three fill range, typically 2.5'' to 4'', triple voice coil speakers are required to reproduce up to seven discrete channels of sound. A triple voice coil full range speaker is mounted to the front baffle so that the sound from this speaker projects forward and towards the listeners from the front baffle. One coil of this front baffle speaker is electrically connected to the front center speaker input while the other two coils are electrically connected to the left and right front speaker inputs. Consequently, the total sound produced by the front baffle speaker is an aggregate of the electrical signal intended for the left front, center channel and right front speakers. This delivers sound which, for the most part, reaches the listener's ears before it is reflected off walls, ceiling, and floor.
[0013]For the application in FIG. 1, in addition to a single speaker positioned on the front baffle, a speaker is mounted to the left and right ends of the speakerbar. Furthermore, the speakers are positioned relative to the housing so that the sound emanating from these end speakers projects rearwardly and to the sides relative to the front of the speakerbar housing. They are positioned in a manner so that for the most part, the sound reaches your ears after it is reflected off walls, ceiling, and floor, with best results when a significant portion is reflected off the rear wall.
[0014]For a five channel application, both the left and right end speakers use dual voice coils. One coil for the speaker positioned at the left end is connected to the left front channel input terminal, as well as one of the coils on the front baffle speaker, while the other coil for the left end speaker is connected to the left surround channel input. Similarly, one coil for the speaker positioned at the right end is electrically connected to the right front channel input while the other coil for the right end speaker is electrically connected to the right surround input. For a seven channel application the left and right end speakers use triple voice coils and the left and right side wall surround channel inputs are respectively connected to the third coil of the left and right end speakers. A variation of this design could replace the triple voice coil front baffle speaker with three single voice coil front baffle speakers. The left front baffle speaker would be combined with one of the left end speaker voice coils and the right front baffle speaker would be combined with one of the right end speaker voice coils. The remaining front baffle center speaker would be connected to the center input terminal. Any/all of the fill range speakers could also be combined or in combination with a tweeter(s) for extended high frequency response. The unique result with any of these designs is first, that more than one channel can be accomplished with one driver, and up to three channels can be accomplished with a triple voice coil speaker, saving space, cost, and cabinet volume to achieve improved bass extension and output. This is a profound new technology for the size and air volume limitation of the speakerbars. At the same time, this invention adds additional reflected sound to the right and left front side walls in combination with direct sound from the forward-facing speaker(s) which results in significant soundstage expansion, while maintaining the clarity which only forward-facing speakers can achieve. Due to speakerbar space limitations, it would be impossible to accomplish all of this with multiple speakers on the ends of the speakerbar; however, it is possible with the multiple voice coil technology of this invention. In conclusion, conventional use of multiple drivers is largely replaced by multiple voice coils, and the heretofore lost soundstage is retrieved by a combination of forward facing plus reflected sound for the left and right front channels. As the state of the art advances, additional channels could be achieved by going beyond three voice coils, to four voice coils, etc. using an extension of this invention.
[0015]Unlike the previously known speakerbars, the speakerbar of the present invention (FIG. 1) accommodates discrete five or seven channel surround sound while using as few as three speakers. This not only saves space and cost, but also enables audio reproduction down to and even below 100 hertz with 100 decibel output in a minimum housing volume.
[0016]A better understanding of the present invention will be had upon reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
[0017]FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0018]FIG. 2 is a rear view illustrating the first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0019]FIG. 3 is a top view illustrating the first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
[0020]FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, but illustrating a modification thereof with deeper bass; and
[0021]FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIGS. 3 and 4, but illustrating a still further modification thereof
[0022]With reference first to FIGS. 1-3, a first preferred embodiment of a speakerbar 20 of the present invention is shown which may be used with a three channel, five channel, seven channel or greater sound source. The speakerbar 20 includes an elongated housing 22 having a front 24, a rear 26, a left side 28 and a right side 30. The top and bottom of the housing 22 will also close the housing 22 thus forming a speaker volume 32, in this example of about 24''.
[0023]As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an input terminal or electrical connector is provided for each channel of the multichannel sound source. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, these electrical connectors include a center channel connector 34, a left front channel connector 36, a right front channel connector 38, left and right rear wall (5.1) surround channel connectors 40 and 42, respectively, and the addition of left and right rear side surround channel (7.1) connectors 44 and 46, respectively.
[0024]A center channel speaker 50 is mounted to the front 24 of the housing 22 so that sound from the speaker 50 projects forwardly from the housing front 24. Conversely, a left side speaker 52 is connected to the left end 28 of the housing 22 while a right speaker 54 is connected to the right end 30 of the housing 22. Alternatively, the left speaker 52 and right speaker 54 may be mounted to the rear 26 of the housing 22. In either event, the left speaker 52 and right speaker 54 are oriented relative to the housing front 24 so that the left and right speakers 52 and 54, respectively, project sound to the rear and sides relative to the front 24 of the housing 22.
[0025]As best shown in FIG. 3, the center speaker 50 is a triple voice coil speaker in which each voice coil is independent of the other two.
[0026]One voice coil of the speaker 50 is connected directly to the center channel input 34. The other two voice coil inputs are connected respectively one to the left main channel input 36 and one to the right front channel input 38. Consequently, the sound projected by the center speaker 50 consists of an aggregate of the signals from the left channel input 36, center channel input 34 and right channel input 38. The electrical impedance controls the relative contribution of each channel to the overall sound from the front speaker. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the voice coil for the connection to the center channel input 34 is shown as eight ohms while the impedance for the left and right channels are shown as sixteen ohms each. This invention uniquely uses variation of impedances to replace electrical components to create the desired balance in output.
[0027]The left side speaker 52 is also a triple voice coil speaker and thus also has three independent voice coils. One voice coil is connected to the left front input 36, a second voice coil is connected to the left rear wall surround input 40 and the third coil is connected to the left rear side wall surround input 44.
[0028]Similarly, the right speaker 54 is also a triple voice coil speaker having its three coils connected to the right front channel 38; right rear surround channel input 42 and right rear second surround channel input 46.
[0029]The front baffle speaker 50 produces and projects sound directly towards the intended listening area for the front left, center, and right channels. Conversely, the left and right end speakers project sound primarily to the rear and side walls, and when used in combination with the front baffle speaker 50, create the front left, right channel soundstage expansion. Since the left speaker 52 and right speaker 54 are angled rearwardly away from the front 24 of the housing 22, sound from the speakers 52 and 54 will primarily reach the listener through reflected sound initiating from behind the speakerbar 20 and along the rear side walls. Such predominantly reflected sound also closely resembles the surround channel envelopment of separate speakers positioned to the rear of the listening room.
[0030]With reference now to FIG. 4, a modification of the present invention is shown which is specifically designed for a three, five, or seven channel system, with the addition of enhanced upper bass/lower midrange, and using a two-way design.
[0031]The speakerbar 20 shown in FIG. 4 also includes an upper bass/lower midrange triple voice coil (4''×6'') speaker 51 which is larger than the others (50, 52, 54) and provides the lower midrange/upper bass extension for the right and front as well as the center channel, utilizing the full cabinet volume, except for the small enclosures around 50, 52, and 54. Triple voice coil speaker (51) provides significantly more bass extension and upper bass output in this size housing compared to sharing the cabinet with two or three similar speakers. In this application, separate small housings should enclose 50, 52 and 54. As before, the three coils of speaker 50 are electrically connected to the left front input 36, right front input 38 and center channel input 34. However, in addition to the center speaker 50, the triple channel upper bass/lower midrange 51 is also mounted to the front 24 of the housing 22. This is connected to the center channel input 34 and, together with the speaker 50, provides the sound projecting forwardly from the front 24 of the speakerbar housing 22.
[0032]Still referring to FIG. 4, a three channel (only) version could be designed using only a single voice coil speaker for 52 and 54. If a maximum of five channels were desired, dual voice coil speakers could be used for 52 and 54. From a value standpoint, whether only three or five or seven channels are used, all speakers are operative and contributing to the sound. If someone were to use these versatile multichannel designs with separate surround speakers, they would simply not connect wires to the corresponding connectors on the back of the speakerbar. The left front channel input 36, the left rear surround channel 40 and the left side surround channel 46 are connected to the separate coils of the left speaker 52 while, similarly, the right front channel input 38 is electrically connected to one coil of the right speaker 54 while the right rear surround channel input 42 is electrically connected to the other coil of the right speaker 54 and the right side rear channel surround 44 is connected to the remaining coil of the right speaker. Otherwise, the operation of the speakerbar 20 illustrated in FIG. 4 is substantially the same as the speakerbar 20 illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
[0033]With reference now to FIG. 5, a still further embodiment of a speakerbar 20 is illustrated for a three, five or seven channel sound source. As such, the speakerbar 20 includes the channel inputs 34-46 for each of the up to seven channels of sound.
[0034]The speakerbar 20 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-4 but in a wider (40'') cabinet. It includes a left speaker 52 and right speaker 54. Both of these speakers use triple voice coils and the surround channels are wired in the same fashion as shown in FIG. 3.
[0035]The speakers mounted to the front baffle 24 of the housing 22, however, differ somewhat from the prior embodiments of the invention. Specifically, the front speakers include a single voice coil center channel tweeter 100 which is connected only to the center channel input 34. A single voice coil left tweeter 102 has its coil directly connected to the left channel input 36 while a single voice coil right tweeter 104 at the opposite end of the housing 22 has its voice coil electrically connected to the right channel input 38. Consequently, these three tweeters 100, 102 and 104 provide the relatively high frequency audio output for the front left channel, right channel and center channel, for improved clarity and high frequency extension.
[0036]Still referring to FIG. 5, a left upper bass/midrange speaker 106 is also mounted to the housing front baffle 24 between the center tweeter 100 and the left front tweeter 102. Similarly, a second upper bass/midrange speaker 108 is also mounted to the front 24 of the housing 22 between the right front tweeter 104 and the center tweeter 100. Both of these speakers 106 and 108, furthermore, are larger in size than the tweeters 100-104, and the full range speakers in FIGS. 1-3 and thus reproduce lower midrange and upper bass frequencies more accurately than the tweeters 102 and 104, or the fill range speakers in FIGS. 1-3.
[0037]The left front speaker is a dual voice coil speaker having one voice coil connected to the center channel input 34 and its other voice coil connected to the left channel input 36. Similarly, the right front speaker 108 is also a dual voice coil speaker having one voice coil connected to the center channel input 34 and its other voice coil connected to the right channel input 38. Consequently, the left front speaker 106 produces the mid and low frequency output for both the front left channel and part of the center channel, while the right front speaker 108 produces the mid and low frequency output for the right front channel and part of the center channel.
[0038]In practice, the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 5 produces wider range response and greater output for the signals projected by the speakers on the front baffle of the housing, 24.
[0039]It will be appreciated, of course, that to achieve the optimum overall balance the impedances of each of the voice coils will be varied as necessary to control the amount of current flowing to that particular speaker, since amplifiers deliver more current to low impedances than high impedances. For example, in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the speaker coils for the speaker 50 connected to the left and right channels have an impedance of 16 ohms while the coil connected directly to the center channel has a lower impedance, e.g. 8 ohms. Consequently, for the same signal strength relatively more current flows from the center channel to the speaker 50 than from each of the left and right channel inputs so that the center channel contributes more to the overall sound projected by the speaker 50. The impedances for the other speakers in all of the embodiments of the invention are all precisely selected to determine the degree of contribution to the overall sound resulting from signals from the various inputs on the speakerbar.
[0040]From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention provides a more cost effective and superior performing speakerbar capable of producing enveloping surround sound using separate enclosures physically spaced around the listening room. To achieve this, the left and right end speakers produce all of the surround sound by reflecting off the rear and side walls, while the front speaker(s) produces the direct sound. Furthermore, by using multiple voice coil speakers, the number of speakers can be minimized thus increasing the relative housing volume per speaker which uniquely enhances bass performance of the speakerbar.
[0041]Having described my invention, however, with breakthroughs in soundstage expansion and bass extension using new techniques for combining direct and reflected sound and the incorporation of single multi voice coil speakers to replace multiple separate speakers, provides many possible new variations and adaptations are introduced to those skilled in the art to which it pertains without deviation from the spirit of the invention as defined by the scope of the appended claims.

From chronic illness to weight gain, research shows that lack of sleep can cause a host of health problems. Sleep experts share why it's important to get a good night's rest. Plus, tips on how you can sleep better.
It's no secret that a lousy night's sleep makes you feel lousy, too. The latest scientific findings tie disrupted slumber to everything from chronic diseases to obesity and depression. Beyond a doubt, adequate rest is essential for both emotional and physical well-being.
Helen Driver, assistant professor in the department of medicine at Queen's University and a somnologist at Kingston General Hospital's Sleep Disorder Lab, has studied the science of sleep since the late 1980s. "The interest level for the subject has gone way up," she says. "Recently, there has been a collective realization about how tired we feel, and there's a desire to know what can be done about it."
Researchers are working to find out more. In a study published in the journal Sleep, 24 percent of Canadians age 15 and up experienced insomnia (the inability to get to sleep or stay asleep). And, according to Driver, women are more likely to experience insomnia and complain about fatigue because they aren't getting the seven to eight hours they need.
Research shows that, during sleep, your brain is a beehive of activity, helping to produce hormones like melatonin and growth hormone, which play a part in repairing cells, processing new information, reducing inflammation, regulating emotions and building memory. The brain also cleans house regularly, flushing away toxins like excess protein through the glymphatic system—a kind of plumbing for the brain. In fact, in studies with mice, the glymphatic system was 10 times more active during sleep. Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center believe this process may help maintain healthy brain cells, and might even keep Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease at bay.
The health effects of sleep deprivation
A host of health issues can result from inadequate sleep. Feeling stressed out, for example, isn't just a product of an over-loaded schedule or a hectic lifestyle. Among the chronically sleepless, cortisol (the stress hormone) remains at high levels instead of dropping in accordance with the body's circadian rhythm, the natural body clock that controls physiological processes like sleep. The body's resulting inability to regulate cortisol potentially contributes to high blood pressure and can increase the risk of calcification of the coronary arteries.
Elevated cortisol levels in the evening are also linked to the development of insulin resistance, a precursor to obesity and diabetes. In one study, healthy young men who were sleep-deprived for less than a week developed a prediabetic state of impaired glucose tolerance. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that those with sleep apnea also have a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, even after taking into account other contributing risk factors like obesity, age and waist circumference.
Shortchanged sleepers may also have difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. Two key hormones involved in appetite regulation can misbehave on too little sleep—ghrelin, responsible for stimulating appetite, rises, while leptin, which signals satiety, drops. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found this specific hormone cocktail increases salt and fat cravings, and may make individuals more prone to obesity.
Inadequate sleep may also be linked to chronic illnesses like cancer and heart disease. Though the connection between sleep disorders and disease is not entirely understood, a lack of sleep may increase inflammation throughout the body and impair cell repair. For women getting fewer than six hours of sleep nightly, the risk of coronary heart disease rises substantially.
Your monthly flow might not be helping, either. Sixty-seven percent of women say they lose sleep due to their menstrual cycle. Backaches, headaches, breast tenderness and pelvic pain cause discomfort, while fluctuating hormones contribute to sleeplessness. "After the age of 35, our ovaries begin to age, causing lower levels of progesterone," says Dr. Nishi Dhawan of Vancouver's Westcoast Women's Clinic. "As perimenopause approaches, estrogen and progesterone production become more erratic, which may cause anxiety and insomnia." Dr. Bal Bawa, also of the Westcoast Women's Clinic, adds that menopause can be experienced differently. Some women say they've never slept better, but for the majority, the ability to sleep worsens.
Lastly, sleep is important for immune system function. People who don't get enough shut-eye are less able to fight infection.The stats are sobering: Sleeping fewer than five hours increases the risk of death by about 15 percent.
"Adequate sleep is not a luxury," says Driver. "We need to make it a priority. We need to raise kids that have healthy bedtime routines, so they can grow up to be adults who give credence to sleep's crucial role in our health."
How did sleep cycles get so out of whack? Driver points to modern technology as a prime culprit. Prior to having electricity in the home, the body's circadian rhythm dictated sleep patterns. Light was a powerful timekeeper—in the morning, sunlight coaxed people awake and at sundown, it was time to hit the hay. Today, simply by switching on a light at night, our bodies are pressured to stay alert and awake, as opposed to following their natural rhythm.
The prevalence of electronic devices makes the situation even worse. When laptops, tablets and smartphones enter the bedroom, problems arise. "The blue light they emit confuses the body," says Driver. "It's stimulating and disturbing, leading to an 'on call' type of lighter sleep that is not deep or fully restorative, as seen with moms listening for a baby's cry and doctors poised to answer an emergency call."
How to improve your sleep hygiene
Total darkness in the bedroom is recommended by the experts, as it promotes higher secretions of melatonin—which encourages sleepiness, regulates body temperature and blood pressure, and inhibits cancer cell growth. Conversely, light exposure suppresses melatonin. Several studies have linked light during nighttime hours and shift work with an increased incidence of breast cancer. Turning off electronics an hour before bedtime and keeping devices away from sleep zones go a long way toward encouraging more restorative sleep.
Surprisingly, interrupted sleep can be just as bad as getting no sleep at all. A pilot study from Tel Aviv University concluded that when sleep was disrupted during the night, even when participants slept seven hours, it was equivalent to sleeping half that time—causing the same fatigue, depression and confusion experienced by the severely sleep-deprived. The most crucial time is the deep slumber that occurs during the third stage of the sleep cycle. This is when the body goes into overdrive to produce healing and repairing hormones.
Thankfully, the body is properly equipped to make up for a few nights of poor sleep: "It's intelligent in creating homeostasis—so the body will try to compensate," says Dr. Bawa. But if you're exhausted to the point where energy levels don't bounce back after a couple nights of solid sleep, and normal activities are affected, it's time to see a doctor. "We look at a range of factors, like adrenal gland fatigue, anemia and thyroid hormone disruption, for underlying causes of fatigue," she says.
Getting a good night's sleep is about more than just feeling rested—it's about building a healthy foundation for your future.

Beyond Thanksgiving dessert and carving jack-o'-lanterns, this autumn gourd has a host of health benefits. Here are five ways pumpkins can improve your diet, sleep and skin, plus five easy and nutritious pumpkin recipes.
1. Healthy eyes
Pumpkin is a rich source of beta-carotene—it's what gives it that rich, vibrant colour. Packed with potent antioxidants, it helps protect your vision from degeneration. Bonus: You'll also see stronger nails and healthier hair.
2. Glowing skin
Pumpkins are rich in a host of skin-healthy vitamins: the properties from antioxidant-rich vitamin A (retinol) act as a shield for your skin, protecting you from the damaging affects of free radicals; vitamin C helps promote collagen production and renew the skin for a glowing face; and vitamin E improves skin tone.
3. Energy boost
The daily recommended iron intake for women is higher than for men, and as women age or become pregnant, the necessary dose increases. Pumpkins are full of iron, an immunity-boosting mineral that can help ward of illness and fatigue and keep your energy high.
4. Better diet
High in fibre (7 grams per one cup of canned pumpkin) and low in calories (26 calories for 100g), pumpkins can help you stay full longer and keep your digestion on track. The Heart & Stroke association recommends 21 to 38 grams of fibre a day, however most people don't quite reach half that amount.
5. Improved sleep and mood
Don't toss the seeds. Raw pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds) are rich in tryptophan (yes, the same snooze-inducing amino acid that kicks in post-turkey dinner) and can help you get more Zs. This compound also supports serotonin, which not only helps you sleep better, but boosts your mood, too.
Whether you use the whole pumpkin, the pulp or the seeds, here are five must-try recipes, ranging from savoury to sweet.
Thai Pumpkin Coconut Soup
This silky soup is a mix of traditional sweet and sour Thai flavours and has only 159 calories per serving. It's guaranteed to be your go-to winter warm-up soup.
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
A muffin is a great grab-and-go treat. Skip the maple cream cheese spread to keep the calorie count (250 calories) low.
Arugula and Pepita Pesto
Add this pesto to salad, soups or over meat. Keeps in the freezer for up to six months.
Almond Pepita Butter
This fragrant nut butter with a mix of almond and pepita is a super-satisfying topper.
Pumpkin Pie Granola
A mix of pepitas, pecans, flaxseeds, puffed rice cereal and a medley of aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, ginger and cloves gives this granola loads of flavour.

What to ask your doctor about Angelina's cancer surgery.
When Angelina Jolie writes about her personal health struggles in the New York Times, it makes a splash. In 2013, Jolie set off a media storm by writing about her double mastectomy and genetic predisposition for cancer, then wrote about a second surgery, this time to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes, in 2015.
High drama, yes, but it's hard not to admire her candour. Jolie writes that she is now in full menopause and using bio-identical estrogen patches and an IUD to replace the hormones she's lost. That's no small reveal for anyone, let alone an actress known for her vitality and sex appeal.
Jolie also added a note of caution, knowing that the "Jolie effect" is now a recognized factor in doctor-patient conversations and that her preventative surgeries are an extreme course of action.
"I did not do this solely because I carry the BRCA1 gene mutation, and I want other women to hear this. A positive BRCA test does not mean a leap to surgery," she writes.
On this point, Canadian doctors and cancer experts agree. High drama may be a good way to start a conversation but calm heads makes the soundest decisions.
A cancer doctor weighs in
Dr. Marcus Bernardini a surgical oncologist at Toronto's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre at University Health Network told us there are a few things Canadian women should know in the wake of Jolie's announcement:
1. There is actually no effective general screening for high-grade serious ovarian cancer and screening is not recommended.
2. Preventative surgery is recommended for high-risk women (those who carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation).
3. Jolie mentions a scenario in which only the fallopian tubes are removed (called a salpingectomy) for women who still hope to get pregnant. Dr. Bernardini calls this "an intriguing strategy," but for now the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes (a salpingo-oophorectomy) is the recommended course of action.
4. There are four questions Dr. Bernardini suggests discussing with your doctor if you have concerns raised by Angelina Jolie's story:
- Am I at risk for ovarian cancer?
- Is there a history of ovarian cancer in my family?
- How does one find out if they are eligible for testing?
- I know there are different types of ovarian cancer, are all preventable in this way?
Family history is the starting point
Responding to the Jolie news this week, Gillian Bromfield, the director of Cancer Control Policy at the Canadian Cancer Society also pointed out that it's important that people try to learn their family health history.
The group also has information for women with a known strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer, including information on genetic testing, and preventive strategies that may be available to them, she says.
"The decision to have a preventive surgery is a very personal one that a woman would make in consultation with her healthcare provider based on her medical history and her personal preferences," she says.
Here's hoping Jolie's candour leads to more information being shared – not more panic.
Read on for more information on menopause and genetic testing.

Posted: 6 years 14 weeks ago
Boffins are warning that sitting in front of your computer can make you crave sweets and chocolate. (Sitting anywhere can make me crave them. sub.ed.)
It was thought that computer users turned into blimps which can eclipse the sun because they don't need to move much. But apparently the mental stress of computer work triggers changes in blood sugar and hormone levels that trick the brain into thinking it has worked off lots of calories that need replaced.
Researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput told the International Congress on Obesity in Stockholm that computer games and TV watching have the same effect. Apparently office workers who want to keep trim should take regular screen breaks type while standing up. Dr Chaput, of the University of Copenhagen, started to research the subject after noticing how his supervisor snacked on chocolate biscuits.
He worked out that those who go flat out on their computers ate an extra 230 calories when given access to a buffet afterwards. It looks like computer work made blood sugar levels fluctuate wildly and hunger hormones to rise. As a result, the students gorged on food they didn't need.
This will make a fantastic poll question :)
Not only computers can make you fat, but yea... but lazing around doing nothing will cause you to gain weight, doh ;)
I kind of agree with this, but at the same time not everyone is the same. I know some techs that are tall and skinny. Before computers I was physically fit and hit the gym almost everyday. Now that I'm at the computer 8+ hours per day I'm over weight. Being slightly over weight does effect the way I think and socialize with others. Maybe I should get off the computer a little more and jog. I already go on walks but it just does not seem like that's enough anymore. I have some muscle build to me from those years at the gym, but even with a little extra weight I look fat. Just talking about this makes me more depressed. I have high blood pressure and take pills for that. If I keep going like this it's only going to get worse!
Maybe I need a 3GM before and after or gym bet or something?

Tanner Reeves calls Doug Jeffries into his office - there's a random chick there at first, but once he strips down he chases her out of there so he can have his way with Tanner. It's a bit of an odd start to this gay office porn scene, but once that you're definitely going to remember. The other thing you'll probably remember is Tanner's gigantic collection of highlighters, but that's just because you see them as the camera pans in and out. Yes I notice weird things in porn scenes, but I did sit back and enjoy the rest of the action for the rest of it.

"Speaking of build stability, I'll copy paste the same thing I mentioned on EUW about Olaf not being in 3.11 now:
We're actually planning to pull him from this build. With the World Finals coming up, build stability is of incredibleimportance, so we're being extra careful. If this were just a regular patch we might be okay with trying out Olaf but this isn't the case.
Morello has mentioned that Live Design is happy with Olaf's overall design direction, but there are certain build considerations (bug fixes, etc) to take into account. So there we have that."
"I'll clarify this additionally: Olaf also currently has stability issues that would make us leery even in a regular deploy. In other words, we are on the fence about deploying him with 3.11 regardless. This has everything to do with player enjoyment world-wide if his changes come out buggy.
What tipped the scales in favor of pulling him from the patch was that we also have a huge tournament happening around this time and so we value server stability just a little more. Was it enough of a reason to pull him on that alone? No. Did it influence our decision making process as we weighed risks? Yes. So it's not just a single if A then B kind of situation - it's more of a "hmmm maybe we shouldn't do it." "Oh this is happening, well this makes the decision easier even if we might have made this same decision.""
"Hi everyone,
I've been quiet for a while so for those of you who who don't know me I'm Yakaru and I'm one of the Senior Gameplay Engineers. I'm pretty well known as a hardcore tabletop gamer and for my Ninja 300 motorcycle.
I've been looking at fog of war and brush and I've noticed a lot of things that are strange, which made me realize the rules for brush/fog aren't as clean and consistent as they could be. If you have a few minutes would you mind sharing your thoughts with me?
Here's some facts:
* Autoattacks will always reveal you through brush
* Nunu's ultimate (Absolute Zero) doesn't reveal him in brush while he's charging
* Blitzcrank Rocket Grabs will show you his fist but not Blitzcrank himself
* Nidalee throwing her spears (Q) also doesn't reveal her
* Taric's Dazzle does reveal him
* Nunu's Iceball will reveal him
I can get into the details of why it's like this, but the more important question is how SHOULD it work and why?
My gut instincts are that any 'aggressive' action should probably reveal you -- if a spell is dealing damage, slows, roots, or stuns, for example, it should reveal the caster. This is an easy to understand rule and is very easy to understand and explain to new players, but I'm not sure about this, what do you guys think?
Thanks much!
"Hey guys,
first up I totally want to fix pinks not showing other wards in brush and invisible skill shots! I think everyone wants that The same goes for the minimap teleport bug -- if anyone has a good way to consistently reproduce that let me know. I hate that bug too.
I'm glad to hear from people like Sty13z who brought up their own confusion about vision. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my confusion . I know I often instinctually do the wrong thing, here's my example:
* ambush setup in brush
* cast a skill shot
* RETREAT before they counter-attack my squishy (even though my cast didn't reveal me)
Maybe this is just my own bad habit, but the current rules are complex and there's no way to tell if I've exposed myself.
Nunu was a big topic -- thanks to blockpartay, Narssisstic, Arizel and everyone else who chimed in there. I think Nunu's ult is the most obvious example of a spell which has unintuitive vision rules:
* The first time I played Nunu, I didn't know that casting his ult in a brush had this huge, dangerous advantage.
* "Im 729 elo" made a great point that at least showing the particle effect may be a good compromise. This also is consistent with skill shot behavior -- I see the mystic shot from brush, but I don't see the giant orb of ice.
If we were to change Nunu, though, we would definitely balance him appropriately, and I would defer to the Live Design team to make the right calls on changes there.
Squippit had the thoughts of revealing when a skill shot 'lands'
* pro: this makes sense (you damaged someone, brush drops, if you don't damage them you stay hidden).
* con: I can see it leading to my tank purposefully taking that nid spear so we can jump on her.
is that good counterplay or punishing someone for successfully using their spear?
Another interesting one to consider: if I'm playing Ahri and cast Foxfire (W), should that expose Ahri? Should she be exposed when one flame acquires onto an enemy minion or champion?"
"Hey guys, just thinking outloud here and I don't want to derail the conversation but as it is related:
Does anyone think there should be a good way to tell if you are being revealed by your own actions (not just standing in a warded brush) and if so any suggestions on how to do this without visually crowding the screen?"
"Yes, this jives with what I've seen too. The problem is it doesn't happen every time the jungler pops out. We're trying to get something consistent internally -- will help track it down as well as let us verify a fix actually fixes it. Trust me, I want to smash this bug. Hard. In fact it is one of the reasons I've been digging into the vision system recently."
"Brief post before i head out for the day - been reading a lot of your Ferocity bonuses for R and while i appreciate the creativity, unsure if i'm gonna take anything i see - everything so far is kind of above the powerbudget i'd like to give it - i'm heading towards 'nice, small bonus' - where things like Tenacity, a Fear, extra Damage are all things that just make me feel like an idiot for ever ulting without max ferocity. I'll continue to mull it over and let you guys know what i'm thinking.
As for Hunt -> Stalk, i've seen a lot of you mention you think it should be reverse. Aside from my poor naming (Maybe Sprint->Prowl would be more accurate?), the basic idea around this is
1. Adds a window of time where Rengar can get caught out and still be outplayed - stealthing, picking a direction you want to go, and then bursting into speed to run away is kind of @_@. Hunt->Stalk at least has a period of time where you know he cant' stealth you, and if you don't play it right may not even need to use it.
2. Taken as evidence from our tests where the ult had no stealth at all - in most cases, i think 'Hunt' is more universal. When ulting with Rengar, more often than not you want to run fast. Whether or not you're getting into position for an Ambush or just running a guy down, if your ultimate button gave you nothing else, MS is more consistent and you can form an expectation around the button press. Seeing low-health dudes and pressing R, only to know your giant MS boost is ~5s away from activation feels like they're escaping from you just because we let it happen - while giving it to you upfront and keeping the Stealth optional allows you to premeditate it for when it would be useful to you.
Maybe i didn't explain it that well - only got like 4h or so of sleep (Damn you, gamescom !_!), but i hope it makes sense. I'm still considering all of these suggestions, this is just snapshot on where i'm feelin'"
"I've seen this a bunch in this thread so far, but i don't see it as having the same problems due to
- Stalk having less Stealth Duration than on Live
- Stalk losing Thrill of the Hunt's movement speed
- Rengar's overall burst being lowered
In general, there's a much lower window for Rengar to Sneak-Attack you. He can also just run and leap on you if his goal is to just get to you, but if taking your opponent by surprise is important (say, in a lane-gank) that option is still available and potent. Overall it takes a lot more planning and execution to pull off the stealth-attack, but you can forgo the planning and just bumrush them (at the cost of alerting them to your presence earlier)"
"To clear up some misconceptions, systems like the Tribunal are moderated. In fact, the more severe punishments are always reviewed by Player Support staff. The cases that tend to be close in voting also get double checked by staff. Right now, up to 74% of players that are punished by the Tribunal improve their behaviors and don't return to the Tribunal. Although the system isn't perfect, it does a decent job."
"We worked with Machinima and Ocelote on that piece, and are definitely interested in more pieces like that in the future. If you noticed recently, we also released a bunch of videos teaching positions of the game by the Korean OGN Pros. Check it out if you haven't seen them!"
"Hm, we're definitely interested in making Honor more visible and easier to use."
"When analyzing or assessing a feature like this, we have to take a look at the value we're adding given the costs/risks. If the majority of Champion Select lobbies have instant lock trolls who irritate and harass their own team, then a feature like this might add a really high value by removing their ability to frustrate others (though one could always argue they'd just act toxic in a different manner because we haven't solved the problem and only removed a channel the problem is vented through).
However, the data suggests that the number of lobbies that end with instant locking and the players are frustrated or pissed off about it is in the minority. Given the data, removing the lock would only arbitrarily increase the duration of Champion Select for many lobbies which I believe is too high of a cost to solve a problem that only a minority of lobbies have."
"Some skills are about popping projectiles and effectively blocking or counterspelling incoming attacks. Some skills are about providing a period of untargetability so that no new attacks can be made. Blade Waltz is in the latter camp. You can partly tell because it has a cast time, which I wouldn't condone for a skill that is meant to be used to interrupt incoming attacks like Vlad pool or Fizz's hop.
So that's why it doesn't pop projectiles. That's also why it doesn't block DoT damage.
I'm not sure I understand delaying damage. From what I can tell, Yi's Alpha Strike doesn't delay projectiles or damage. I've also asked around about this, and so I'm pretty sure he doesn't delay anything. It might be that he seems like he's delaying but from carefully watching your health displayed at the bottom center of the UI you can see that damage is applied on time.
Blade Waltz does actually clear turret aggro, but turrets are (right now) trying to reacquire Fiora as a target when she damages enemies under the turret. The game visually suggests that this is working, when in fact the turret aggro is re-dropped as Fiora is untargetable. She can be picked up again by the turret after she comes out of the ult.
I've tested and you can't be struck by skill shots or area of effect spells during Blade Waltz. Same for bots targeting me during the effect. I've tried this out against bots repeatedly, slowing the game down to carefully examine the interaction, and Annie bots will patiently wait to cast their Disintegrates until Blade Waltz is entirely complete.
I hope this helps clear up some of the understanding around Blade Waltz's behaviors. I'm personally very excited to play with the more consistent version of Blade Waltz coming out in 3.11."

Thermal imaging can be used to document heat/AC leaks from insulation gaps on a building's facade, reveal warmer ground water inflows (either fresh or chemical-laden) or "thermal pollution" from industrial processes entering ocean-temperature waterbodies, as well as identify areas on the human body experiencing infection or stress (includes epidemiological applications).
Community applications so far include both a "heat-busters" program in East Harlem and a "forensic" water quality monitoring program in the Gowanus Canal.
There are three prototypes in development:
"FLIR" cameras can produce images such as the one below, and are typically used to identify heat leaks, but even low-resolution FLIR cameras can cost thousands of dollars. Our goal is to make this kind of investigation (and the potential savings) cheap, easy, fun, and informative for those of us without $10k in our pockets.
The first approach results in a kind of "light painting" -- a color heatmap overlaid directly onto the scene. This is the simplest, cheapest, and to date, most effective way we have developed of measuring heat leaks or cool leaks indoors and outdoors. Simply put, the "flashlight" puts out red light if it's pointed at something hot (default 75 deg F or more) and blue light if it's pointed at something cold *(default 60 deg F or less):
To capture the light painting over time, we have been using timelapse photography or the prototype Public Lab Thermographer website (or its inspiration, GlowDoodle), as seen in the top image on this page.

These research notes will be integrated into this page to provide instructions on building and using your own thermal flashlight:
Several meetups have been organized to build and test thermal flashlights, at RISD (Providence, RI) and in Brooklyn, NY. We are organizing one now in Somerville, MA:
The thermal fishing bob project develops a DIY technology to visualize changes in water temperature, which can indicate water pollution via industrial sources or sewage
The fishing bob is designed simply enough that anyone can build it and its components can be easily obtained from Home Depot and Radio Shack.
To produce a cheaply made, easy to use piece of technology to track temperature changes in water. And to produce a product that can be easily altered to suit many innovative needs.

First Field test of the Fishing Bob
Research Notes on development workshops MIT
Research notes on towing the tool
Next steps on developing the tool
The fishing bob's tech is sealed within a waterproofed translucent container, a Koolaid mix container will do, with only the thermistor poking out the bottom (sealed around the edges with hot glue). The fishing bob is then wrapped in foam so that it floats, attached to a reel so it can be pulled, and dropped in the water. The thermistor reads changes in temperature and the LED within the fishing bob causes the fishing bob to change color in accordance with the temperature. The readings are recorded on the Arduino inside, which can then be read once it is plugged into a computer.
While the fishing bob is being dragged across the water long exposure photos are being taken to create a "light painting" of the temperature gradient. One neat way to make these long exposure images is to use glowdoodle from MIT.
I am currently working with Sara Wylie on a project to make the thermal fishing bob towable behind a kayak. In previous testing the fishing bobs tended to submerge and become water damaged so we are working on a prototype that would be set into a floatation device. One concept is to wrap two fishing bobs in foam and set them into the legholes of a child's floatie, duct taping them into place. The first test was successful, the fishing bobs stayed in place above the water and there was no noticeable water damage. A second idea is to attach three fishing bobs to a foam sled/boogie board with thermistors of differing lengths to take a 3D image of the thermal gradient. This idea has yet to be tested. A third idea is to utilize ideas from the coqui to transform the thermal fishing bob into a conductivity fishing bob. This idea is still in the brainstorming stage, but we will be building a prototype soon.
