Toshiba Corp. reportedly plans to acquire manufacturing assets from SanDisk Corp. that the two companies own in Japan. The acquisition of a stake in joint-venture between the two companies could leave SanDisk completely without own manufacturing capacities for NAND flash memory, which means that the company may become just a supplier of flash-based products.
Currently, Toshiba and SanDisk jointly own flash memory manufacturing facilities in Mie Prefecture, Japan, reports Cnet News.com citing Nikkei news-paper. In the light of the recent take-over proposal to SanDisk's shareholders by Samsung Electronics, Toshiba has already said that it might need "preventive steps" and acquire SanDisk completely ahead of its major rival on the NAND flash market.
Toshiba may pay about ¥100 billion ($985.2 million) for its stake in the joint-venture with SanDisk. Toshiba and SanDisk have two joint-ventures that manufacture NAND flash memory. SanDisk has a 49.9% interest in each of the ventures and also funds research and development related to the ventures, claims Cnet News.com.
Without a stake in manufacturing capacities, which Toshiba naturally does not want to transfer to its rival Samsung, SanDisk will become a purely brand-name supplier of flash-based devices. Potentially, this may be a positive news for SanDisk, which is in a tough financial situation these days amid dramatic drops in NAND flash prices amid competition from China-, Korea- and Taiwan-based rivals. Since SanDisk's manufacturing capacities are not the largest in the world, they hardly can be considered as strategically important assets.
Toshiba and SanDisk did not comment on the news-story.

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
The quality of relationships with caregivers should be considered by clinicians as a means for improving the quality of life (QoL) of individuals with schizophrenia.
The current findings suggest that family therapy may have substantial benefit for individuals with schizophrenia's sense of well-being as well.
Future research should aim to measure several key illness domains linked to subjective life satisfaction such as illness insight and skills in cognitive function to clarify the role of caregiver relationships to other closely linked …

Living Well with Autoimmune Disease, What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You....That You Need To Know
"At last, a book that helps people make sense of multiple mystifying symptoms and offers a road map to proper diagnosis and the most effective treatments...a brilliant empowerment manual."-Richard Shames, M.D., and Karilee Shames, Ph.D., RN, HNC authors of Thyroid Power.
Are You Suffering From:
- Weight Gain or Loss?
- Joint Pains?
- Memory Loss?
- Numbness in Your Hands or Feet?
You could be suffering from autoimmune disease.
Are you tired? Achy? Depressed? Overweight?
You could be suffering from an autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune disease is the third major category of illness in the United States, yet very little is known about the many serious and chronic immune conditions. If you're one of the 50 million Americans suffering from one kind of autoimmune disease-whether it's lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, thyroid disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or Crohn's disease-there's a good chance you'll develop another.
This book can help.
Written by Mary J. Shomon, a well-known patient advocate who was diagnosed with autoimmune disease in 1995, this guide to alternative and natural remedies shows you how to treat the underlying causes of immune system imbalance, not just the symptoms. It contains first-person accounts from doctors, patients, and holistic practitioners, as well as checklists, quizzes, and a proposed recovery plan. In addition, it offers detailed information about:
The most common autoimmune conditions
- The factors that can lead to autoimmune disease
- Interpreting your symptoms
- Procedures and treatments
- Finding the right doctor
Until we find a cure, living with autoimmune disease can be frightening and frustrating. But it doesn't have to be. This valuable guide helps you understand what may be causing the disorder and helps you take the first healthy, natural steps toward correcting it.
Quill A Harper Resource Book. An Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.
An excellent read!
Verified Purchase
An excellent read!
This book is full of information. Anyone who has autoimmune disease should read this book and even if you don't have it, read it for the knowledge. It is very well written for the lay man and easy to understand.

helpful book, will give you treatment insight that the medical field will not offer.
good informational book
Posted by Reviewer1609768 on May 29, 2010
not as many resources for medicine as expected, but good book overall.
Posted by Reviewer2803384 on Mar 03, 2010
this was a moderately helpful book - there are so many autoimmune problems that a lot of the book was irrelevant to me, at this time, anyway. If I develop any other strange or unexplained medical issues, I'll be checking here to see if it might be another autoimmune thing.
Posted by Reviewer1082777 on Feb 22, 2010
Helpful to know how autoimmune diseases work.

"How do you do it?": MSW Field Director Survey.
This paper reports on a survey of MSW field directors in the United States. Results indicate that in some areas there is similarity between field programs, such as field training and orientation, and the student placement process. There was great variety between field programs in the areas of student field requirements, student field credits, and field liaison faculty status. Most field programs report adequate resources but a significant minority report a lack of resources. The benefits of increasing specificity of mandated standards at the cost of lessened program flexibility is discussed.

Pictures of the Customs College – Rigaud, Quebec – Amenities
Today I've decided to share some picture and info on the amenities at the Customs College in Rigaud, Quebec or the formal name which is the CBSA Learning Centre.
Rigaud is a quaint little town…and I mean little!…and I was pleasantly surprised to find quite beautiful. The town has a few little businesses like a hairdresser and few restaurants. The best is probably the greasy spoon down the street where you can get pizza, pasta or even a decent souvlaki if you get sick of the cafeteria food. There is also a Tim Horton's but no Second cup or Starbucks unfortunately. So if you are a coffee lover you will have to drive for any specialty coffee. As for grocery stores, there is a Metro and an IGA.
The College Campus is quite nice actually. I believe the building was originally a monastery or something to do with the church as there are stained glass windows in one of the training rooms.
Opened in April 1980
The main entrance.
here is a couple shots of the greenery.
I did spend sometime at this picnic table reading. it was very peaceful!
So lets start with what my room looked like.
Here's the bed.
I actually slept great on this bed. It was a queen. mattress is firm.
There is a phone for local calls or charges apply. The phone also flashes red if you have a message. At the bottom left hand corner you can see the edge of a mini fridge. No its not a mini bar!
At the top left you can see part of the closet where you can hang up clothes.
I also had my own TV and a desk.
Here's what my bathroom looked like.
Nothing special but not bad at all….served the purpose.
Ok so now let me show you the cafeteria.
They try to stagger when people have their lunches as depending on occupancy the cafe can get quite packed and the lines long. Also once they run out of something that its so get their early!
The Coffee station. Nectar of the gods. I was here many times a day!!! Its almost always open.
There was one area for deli stuff like sandwhiches and pita wraps, then there were two islands one for sides, and one for a salad/fruit bar. At the back was the grill for burgers, fries, hot mains, steak, clubhouse sandwiches, poutine etc.
Fresh grapefruit! Breakfast was definitely my favourite meal of the day.
After all that food, may be you would like to work some of the calories off here at the gym. The equipment is not bad but not much in the way of free weights. There was one bench press and some dumbells…there rest were machines. Oh they also has a smith machine.
For those of you who prefer sports there is a gymnasium where you can play volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, badminton etc…
or you could go for a swim in the indoor pool (which may have been shut down)
And then have a sauna before you shower.
A little tight I know….and no its not co-ed!
In the basement of the residence wing there is a lounge in the basement where people get together to relax.
There is also a pool table in the lounge
and table tennis…I must say I became quite proficient at ping pong!
And Bubble hockey! not free or always operational but a classic!
for those of you who prefer to read there was a shelf with a few books on it for anyone to borrow.
There was also a communal microwave
A TV room you could reserve for a movie night
With some nice seating…even if the TV is outdated…maybe they have a flat screen now.
Here is the laundry room. you will need your own detergent as they don't sell any.
In the room next door is a room dedicated for ironing.
Here is the internet lab….where the connection is like two paper cups with a string in between. Supposedly its regular, but it was super slow.
Also many websites are blocked from being accessed. So if you are a facebook addict bring your own 3G / 4G device.
And lastly, here is the port of Rigaud where some of the training is done. Just like the real thing!!!
Overall, the amenities were better than I expected the first time I went. Just having your own room is nice. The food is not bad and if you get tired of it there a few place nearby off campus. I must say that I enjoying going to Rigaud and I find it to be a really beautiful place.
For any new recruits going, I'm sure you will be fine with the facilities.
I hope you enjoyed this post

Thinking something pretty simple to help manufacture a little additional interest in the college basketball season.
Along the lines of ...
~$50/man - assume 10-15 people
~Each player drafts 5-10 college hoops teams (random draft order, snake draft)
~Most total regular season wins for your roster of teams wins, pay 1st and 2nd
~If we get enough interest, could pay out conference winners, #1 seeds in tourney, etc.
Post in here if you have interest.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (458 votes).
In short: Very good course, challenging but not horrendous. Good organisation and fab hoodyIn full: In General a good event liked the course and ran it well and excellent prep for London. Ran Ashby two weeks prior and 20 secs quicker this time and would say the course is a little hillier although felt like i was doing a runner from a taxi for the last half mile. I would say i thought Ashby was a bit better organised probably due to sponsorship and the extras susch as gels and bottles of water and the space at the start and finish etc. Would also like chips that record you at the start. However good event and would recomend and the Oakley hood is better as well. Thankyou BedforsDate of review: April 2, 2011
In full: Most of this race was brilliant and I would do it again but the hall was too crowded even an hour before. Most marshalls were super friendly but one or two were a bit over zealous. The finish is a killer! Date of review: April 2, 2011
In short: A gnome at home on hills!In full: Same old hills again at the Oakley 20 (wish that they would flatten as the years progress) but surprisingly do-able in costume and I somehow (and have no idea how) managed a PB! Hoodies once again with this years going to be put to good use for my gnome costume as and when I get around to making one. A big thank you to everyone that spent the Saturday setting up (shouldn't really include myself in that bit!) and those who spent Sunday standing outside providing real encouragement to the runners (the youngsters from the Scouts were great). Thanks Mark (bike marshal leading front runner) for notifying me that the lead runner was on his way (was in shock when the lead runners cheered me on!). Really nice support from participants too this year (those in particular have already been contacted). I struggled on the grassy finish (but always do in fields etc hence why I tentd to enter road events more than anything else). Was a little worried on the bridge on one lap as there was a blockage of traffic whereby both ends wanted to keep moving forward and drivers seemed more concerned for themselves than the runners (white van man, move over next time unless you'd like me to end up on your bonnet next time as I almost got squashed between the bridge and the side of van, not good when I already have balance and coordination difficulties). So glad that the weather was o.k. this year and Anglia Water had not started digging up the roads for repairs!Date of review: March 29, 2011
In short: I'd do it again (if I ever have another marathon planned)In full: I ran the Bedford Harriers half in December last year and found it well organised with great marshalls. Entered the Oakley as final LSR before VLM, and Bedford Harriers did not disappoint me! Well organised, course challenging but not too tough with plenty of friendly marshalls. I liked the two loops as passing the school at 12 miles made it feel like halfway when in fact there were just 8 miles to go! My first attempt at 20 miles so the housing estate and field finish did not bother me, just glad to get round without walking! I'll wear the hoody with pride, thanks to Bedford Harriers!!Date of review: March 29, 2011
In short: A number of issues let the race down for meIn full: course was ok, picturesque villages at the top of the course were nice, running through the housing estate at the end wasn't. Nicely undulating, certainly wouldn't call it hillyThe narrow bridges were a bit tight as well,particularly with lots of cars trying to get over at the same time.didn't like the long lap / short lap course. being a slow runner I was being lapped at about mile 9, meaning had to endure 3 miles of being passed, not overly motivating.Really got fed up with marshalls shouting keep to the left, I got it the first dozen times it was shouted at me. And if you're going to get everyone to keep to the left don't have the water station people (1st one) stand in the middle of the road so that you have to go on the wrong side of the road to get round them. Some of the road condition isn't great at the left side, camber is steep in places and falling apart in others.Organisation was quite efficient although not certain the school could take any more people in it.Car park was just too far away, I got there just over an hour before the race but got sent to the other car park, a good half mile away and uphill on the way back.Liked the hoodie, marshalls were nice and friendly (when they weren't telling you to go left).Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Well organised with a nice hoodie as mementoIn full: Another great Oakley event, marshalls superb - nobody will miss you in the dark with the green hoodie memento either.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Excellent Race, Great Organisation.In full: After doing the Ashby 20 a couple of weeks ago, I didn't think there would be a 20 miler as good. This one was certainly on a par!Excellent organisation, beautiful scenery, great course - nice to run slightly different laps as well, great hoodie at the end, extremely friendly marshals offering great support, plenty of water stations, jelly babies... what else could you ask for?Thanks to the organisers and everyone involved, you all made running 20 miles so pleasurable.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Full marks to Bedford Harriers for a gerat eventIn full: Second time of running - second PB - can't fault the event (well working showers would of been nice) other than that great event, good (but challenging in places) course - Marshalls and Orgnaisation were excellent - and the Sun even shone at the end!Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: There is very little Bedford Harriers could do to make this any betterIn full: Excellent race, definitely one of the best organised that I've ever done (although having done this and other Bedford Harriers events before I wouldn't expect anything else).A special thank you to whoever had the idea of giving out fresh pineapple at the finish - it was brilliant. Every race should have it.Top quality hoodie once again, I saw many being worn with pride as I made my way home.Thanks again Bedford Harriers, and best of luck to all you marathon runners.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: well organisedDate of review: March 27, 2011

Thanks for the reply, Woody! That's great info.
The final proof! Sorry about the delay since last post, but I eventually decided for the M80. I had it fitted & it sounds great.
[I think it sounds better with the B pole-pice back in, but will start a separate thread about that.]
You can see how it fits in the pictures better than I can explain it, but there is
a) ~1/8 inch clearance between pick-up & end-of-fretboard
b) sufficient contact area for robust grip (not moved yet) & sound transmission - I can't compare to how it would sound to a simliar guitar with a round sound hole as I don't have one!
Attached are 2 pictures with pickup fitted
1. showing whole body

- Dear Tony,
In your last post about [New Years Resolutions for 2009], you mention spending more time with friends and family, which is typically a phrase usedby people leaving a company.
Are you announcing your retirement?
No, I don't plan to retire anytime soon. Like most companies, IBM had [changed its retirement plans]. Those lucky enough to be on the old plan could retire after 30 years of service to IBM, and get 12 percent of their last five year's salary as an annual pension the rest of their lives. If you averaged $100K per year the last five years, then you could retire on $60K per year. Many IBMers in Tucson took their pension and moved to Mexico, and lived like kings!
To qualify for the old plan, you had to be a certain age, have a minimum number of years service working for IBM, or be an executive of Italian-American descent. I missed it by a few months, so I am on the new plan instead. This involves employer contribution matches to a 401(k) plan and reflects the trend from working for a single company all your life, tochanging careers or companies every 5 to 10 years.Many of my colleagues on the old plan had announced early last year their plans to retire by the end of 2008, but then changed their minds after the economic downturn.
For both personal and professional reasons, I plan to travel less in 2009,so that will give me more time to reconnect with friends and family, especially my friends over at[Tucson Fun and Adventures], the premiere singles activities club in Southern Arizona; the [Tucson Laughter Club], recognized as one of the oldest laughter clubs in the United States; and the Tucson Film Society at the[Loft Cinema].
- Dear Tony,
Why not make a New Years Resolution for an "exercise regime"?
I made that lifestyle change back in 2003, joining [Performance at McMahon's] fitnesstraining facility, and have been lifting weights there, several times per week, ever since.
This is my personal trainer Christine. Our gym had their annual Elite Performer athletic contest running August to November last year, and I came in fifth place. If you are looking fora personal trainer in the Tucson area to jump-start your own fitness goals, call Christine at 907-4510.
Normally, I considerNew Years Resolutions for starting new things, changing bad behaviors, or revisiting things I have long forgotten, not really intended for continuing to do the same as the year before. However, if it makes you happy, I resolve to continue my exercise regime of lifting weightsthree times a week, and will try to do more [cardio] as well.
- Dear Tony,
What's up with your fellow blogger Chuck Hollis from EMC and his post[Timely Reading], suggesting we should read Ayn Rand's hefty novel Atlas Shrugged?
What's your take on this?
I don't talk with Chuck personally about his posts, so I can only guess that he is underthe same blackout period rules, which typically commences the day following the end of the fiscal quarter and ends after the issuance of a news release disclosing the quarterly financial results.
That said, Chuck is an avid reader, and often recommends books he likes. For example,based on his recommendation, I read Tim Harford's [The Undercover Economist] and found it an excellent choice.In the book Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand renounces religion, socialism and a variety of other ills facing societyin 1950s America. Since [93 percent] of scientists and engineers are Atheist,Agnostic or other form of non-believer, I suspect most readers of the Storage blogosphere areat least somewhat familiar with Ayn Rand's works. Personally, I prefer the works of fellow atheist authors[Douglas Adams], [Sir Isaac Asimov], [Richard Dawkins], and [George Orwell].
Chuck mentions he saw Stephen Moore's article ['Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years in the Wall Street Journal, which considers this tometo be the second most influential book, second only to the Bible. No doubt many of the bailoutplans proposed today sound similar to the government acts covered in the novel. One warningrings true for me:
When profits and wealth and creativity are denigrated in society, they start to disappear -- leaving everyone the poorer.
However, I suspect his postmight also be partly motivated by Josh Bernoff's report [Time To Rethink Your Corporate Blogging Ideas] from Forrester Research. I've read the full report, andit has some interesting results.Only 16 percent of those surveyed who use company blogssay they trust them. The situation improves slightly if you look at people who are activein the blogosphere.Among those who read blogs regularly, only 24 percent trust company blogs. And only 39 percent of bloggers, who actually write their own blogs, trust company blogs. This ranks lower than every other form of content Forrester asked about, includingbroadcast and print media, direct mail, and email from companies.
This would mean company blogs are justslightly more trustworthy than self-proclaimed UFO alien abductees, tabloidsat the grocery store checkout lane, and perhaps politicians like Vice President Dick Cheneyor former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.Josh insists that this report is not meant as a plea for existing corporate bloggers to give up blogging, but rather to be more thoughtful on how and why they blog.
Perhaps Chuck is suggesting that bloggers are like the creative types in Atlas Shrugged who felt under-appreciated, and that perhaps all IT Storage bloggers should go on strike?
Well, I'm not retiring, not quitting my exercise routine, and not planning to stop blogging.Last year, thanks to you my dear readers, I was ranked the third most influential blog on IBMDeveloperworks. Congratulations to my fellow IBM bloggers [Bobby Wolf] and ["Turbo" Todd Watson], who ranked first and second!

Chocolate Pecan Cake with White Chocolate Mocha Sauce
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 2 teaspoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 3/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 10 large eggs, separated*
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups toasted pecan pieces
- 2 1/2 cups White Chocolate Mocha Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream, sweetened and whipped
- 1/4 cup chocolate-covered coffee beans
- Shaker confectioners' sugar
- Sprigs fresh mint
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces white chocolate pieces
Grease a 10-inch cake pan with 2 teaspoons of the butter. In a metal bowl set over a simmering pot of water, melt the chocolate with the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and stir occasionally until smooth and creamy. Remove from the heat. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of the sugar, beat on medium-high speed until pale and thick. In a large stainless steel bowl, whip the egg whites with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Slowly beat the chocolate into the egg yolk mixture (If the mixture "seizes" or curdles, add cold cream and whisk until smooth), then gently fold in the egg whites. Spread 1 cup of the pecans in the prepared pan and pour the chocolate mixture over them. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup pecans over the top and refrigerate overnight. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and turn onto a serving platter. Using a warm knife, slice the cake into 12 equal slices. To serve, spoon the sauce in the center of each serving plate. Lay a piece of the cake in the center of sauce. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, several coffee beans, confectioners' sugar and mint.
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the coffee and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the chocolate, whisking as it melts, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve immediately or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a double boiler. Yield: about 2 1/2 cups

August 7, 2012 - McHenry, Ill. - Donor Milk: the Documentary, a film showcasing the benefits of breastmilk for infants, especially preterm babies, will be screened in Madison, Miss., Medela Inc. announced today. Medela is partnering with King West Pictures and Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi (MMBM) to offer the screening Thursday, October 4, 2012 at the Grandview Cinema at 7:00 p.m. Medela, King West Pictures and local milk banks are hosting a series of such screenings throughout the country to raise awareness of the life-saving benefits of human breastmilk, particularaly for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Medela, which is making the announcement during World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, also announced that proceeds from the event will be donated to the Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, UNICEF, and the U.S. Surgeon General, breast milk provides the optimal nutrition for babies.i,ii,iii Human milk acts as medicine for preterm babies and has proven to reduce incidents of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and other fatal diseases common among preterm babies in the NICU. In the United States, the rate of premature births has been increasing and this year more than 517,000 babies will be born premature. Mississippi has the highest incidence of premature births in the country. The majority of babies born as much as 12-14 weeks early and weighing less than 3 pounds often become extrememly ill when they develop severe infections in their intestines. Mother's own milk is best, but often these mothers have medical issues that prevent them from being able to provide their own milk. When a mother's own milk is not available, the next best nutrition source is the use of human donor milk. To date, there are only 11 human milk banks in the nation designed to support families in need of breastmilk when a mother is unable to provide breastmilk for her infant.

Eifert's highlights
I would be OK with either TE, but IMO, Ertz in the 2nd makes more sense. Eifert is supposed to be a more complete player in that he blocks well etc. Ertz is more of a receiving TE. With Heath coming back at some point Ertz would be a perfect compliment to our offense.

Another AS masterpiece.
If they are truly equal, I take Ertz. The tiebreaker?.... gotta have a lot of smarts to go to Stanford.
I like the way he gets up there to snag those high throws, he sure would be a nice sight to see doing this on a regular basis at Heinz field.
If we didn't draft Eifert I wouldn't be opposed to drafting Ertz in round two as we could use all the help we can get on the offensive side of the ball.
There are a few mocks I looked at last night that had both TE's going in the first. Ertz going to san fran. Do mock drafts matter no of course not. But I could see hairball taking Ertz to have 2 power house TE's. Same as I have no problem with the Steelers doing. But I also see other possible picks in rd 1. I just like the TE pick the best right now. One thing we do not have much info on is the bad round and personal stuff the teams look at also for all the players. We only get to hear about the really "bad" boys.

It's a pretty simple device that's programmed to follow objects that come into the view of the three IR distance sensors mounted on the front of it. (The object in this case being a skull on the end of a stick, must have been left over from Hallowe'en...) But the point, at this stage, wasn't to do something sophisticated with the robot, but to see if I could actually program such a device in a high level language that wasn't C/C++ or assembler.
For hardware I used the Make controller and a Rigel robot base. I also use a bunch of Sharp IR sensors.
So for software I started with Matthew Naylor's module for Lava described in The Monad Reader Issue 7. I didn't have to do much with this code at all so it's almost embarassing to claim I did anything. The Make controller is ARM based and programmable in C. In fact it can run FreeRTOS and I simply modified Matthew's code to spit out a C function that is spawned as a task in FreeRTOS. It was about 30 minutes work to make the changes. With Matthew's code modified I now have a Haskell DSL that is translated to C for compilation for the robot. Strictly speaking there isn't actually a Haskell runtime on the robot. Think of the Haskell as a metaprogram that spits out C.
The actual Haskell DSL code looks something like this:
> main = writeMakeController "rigel" f where
> f inp = Output {
> servoSpeed0 = 545+leftSpeed,
> servoSpeed1 = 550-rightSpeed,
> servoSpeed2 = 550+leftSpeed,
> servoSpeed3 = 540-rightSpeed
> }
> where
> rightSpeed = larger (threshold 300 leftSensor) (threshold 300 centreSensor)
> leftSpeed = larger (threshold 300 rightSensor) (threshold 300 centreSensor)
> centreSensor = smooth $ adc0 inp
> leftSensor = smooth $ adc5 inp
> rightSensor = smooth $ adc4 inp
> smooth x = (x + delay 0 x + delay 0 (delay 0 x) + delay 0 (delay 0 (delay 0 x)))/4
> threshold m x = x />=/ m ? (256,0)
> larger x y = x />=/y ? (x,y)
And the video above is the resulting behaviour.
Note, this is the first thing I got working. I make no great claims for the quality or ingenuity of the code. Most of it should be self-explanatory but note the function smooth which averages over the last inputs. This doesn't make sense when considered as an ordinary function because in a pure functional language you can't add the argument of a function to the value that you passed in last time you called the function. But these values are all streams and in principle this makes the DSL extremely powerful. Anyway, I'll write it up better at a future point and I'll see what I can do about making the code available.
