Security Software Provider Wave Systems Q3 Net Revenues Rose 42% to a Record $9.5M(November 09, 2011)
LEE, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/11 -- Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX), a leading provider of trusted computing software, today reported financial results for its third quarter (Q3) and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Wave's results for the 2011 periods include the results of operations of Safend Ltd. for the last eight days of the quarter. Safend is an award-winning endpoint data loss protection solutions provider acquired by Wave for stock and cash on September 22, 2011.
Wave's Q3 '11 total net revenues rose 42% to $9.5 million compared with $6.7 million in Q3 '10 and rose 18% over Q2 '11 total net revenues of $8.1 million. The higher total net revenue was primarily the result of a $2.3 million increase in enterprise server software licensing revenues over Q3 '10, reflecting the recognition of revenue from large enterprise contracts with BASF and a major global automaker, as well as a $0.5 million increase in revenue from new enterprise server upgrades. Net revenues in Q3 '11 included $274,000 in services revenue from a government services contract compared to Q3 '10 services revenue of $195,000. No services revenue was earned during Q2 '11. Wave's Q3 '11 results also include $156,000 of license revenues from Safend's operations for the last eight days in the quarter.
Wave's licensing net revenues grew 42.5% in Q3 '11 versus Q3 '10 and increased 14.4% over Q2 '11. Q3 '11 licensing net revenues included $786,000 of enterprise server license revenue from "small" enterprise orders fulfilled during the quarter. Wave recognizes "large" enterprise orders (5,000 or more licenses) as earned revenue ratably over the arrangement's maintenance term which is typically twelve months.
Total billings were $6.4 million in Q3 '11, versus $6.2 million in Q3 '10, and below Q2 '11 total billings of $9.4 million, which included a $3.5 million enterprise order from BASF SE. Q3 '11 total billings included a partial months billings from Safend amounting to $143,000. Total net revenues are reconciled to total billings below.
Wave continues to make substantial investments in both sales and marketing and R&D initiatives, as it views expanding the Company's global footprint and brand awareness and extending its range of software solutions and capabilities as critical components in growing the business. In aggregate, SG&A and R&D expenses rose by $1.1 million or 11% over Q2 '11 levels and by $3.5 million or 48% over Q3 '10. Of Wave's total Q3 '11 SG&A and R&D costs, $199,000 is attributed to eight days of Safend operations, and $405,000 relates to non-recurring legal and other costs for the Safend acquisition. Wave has steadily increased its investment over the past four quarters to expand its sales, marketing and engineering teams and resources. The Board believes such investments are integral to nurture OEM relationships, to build product and brand awareness, to expand direct-sales activity on a global basis, and to develop new products and features that address the security needs of the growing array of mobile devices used by enterprises.
With the expansion of its personnel base, Wave's non-cash stock-based compensation expense has nearly doubled to $1.4 million in Q3 '11 as compared to Q3 '10 and in line with the level in Q2 '11. Stock-based compensation remains an important component of Wave's employee recruitment and retention strategy.
Wave recorded a Q3 '11 net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share. Q2 '11 also resulted in a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share. Wave's year ago Q3 net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Per-share figures are based on a weighted average number of basic shares outstanding during Q3 '11 and Q3 '10 of 83.7 million and 80.9 million, respectively, and 82.9 million in Q2 '11.
Wave recorded negative EBITDAS of $0.3 million in Q3 '11, roughly in line with Q3 '10 and Q2 '11 levels. Wave reports EBITDAS, a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense, in order to highlight its operational performance on a cash-flow basis. A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDAS is presented below.
With the purchase of Safend, Wave's consolidated balance sheet now includes $3.8 million of goodwill and $8.8 million in newly acquired amortizable intangible assets, an increase from $1.0 million at year-end 2010. As a result, Wave's income statement is expected to reflect non-cash amortization expense of approximately $1.3 million per year or $338,000 on a quarterly basis going forward. Net of $1.1 million in cash paid in connection with the Safend acquisition, Wave's cash and cash equivalents were $6.9 million compared to $10.9 million at June 30, 2011 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, Wave's total current assets were $12.9 million and total current liabilities -- including the current portion of deferred revenue of $5.8 million -- were $11.6 million.
Wave CEO Steven Sprague commented, "Beyond solid execution in the business and another quarter of record revenues, Wave made significant progress during Q3 in expanding the scope of its operations in the U.S. and abroad. Of particular significance, late in Q3 Wave completed the acquisition of data loss protection provider, Safend. The transaction provides Wave with a wealth of complementary products and features, a broad customer base, a talented team and new distribution channels. With first half 2011 revenues of $2.9 million and a $1.9 million net loss, we believe Safend has the scale and industry recognition to make meaningful contributions to Wave's growth. We also see medium-term opportunities for marketing synergies and operational efficiencies to drive improved bottom line contributions from the combined companies.
"Wave also expanded in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), recruiting experienced industry personnel such as respected IT security veteran Joseph Souren as VP and General Manager for EMEA. The expanded presence of an in-market team puts Wave in a stronger position to develop and pursue customer opportunities in these regions, particularly Europe.
"Cyber-security threats continue without pause, with regular reports of new data, network and identification breaches causing disruption, embarrassment, financial damages, liability and lost revenue," Sprague added. "This made it particularly gratifying to see the NSA's Trusted Computing Conference in late September so well attended and successful in its mission to educate public and private sector IT professionals on trusted computing solutions and how they are being successfully implemented.
"Wave has been an early leader in building solutions to address these issues, and with each passing day we gain further confidence in our strategy. Accordingly, we believe it is important that we continue to make significant investments in our business and product development strategy."
Summary of Recent Progress/Developments:
- Wave Enters Global Distribution Agreement With Ingram Micro, the world's largest distributor of information technology (IT) solutions. Effective November 1, 2011, Wave's EMBASSY® security software for managing hardware-based data protection and authentication is available worldwide through Ingram Micro. (October 2011)
- Wave Launches Endpoint Monitor, the first solution to utilize a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to detect and mitigate malware and other Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) lurking in host systems and accessing confidential data. Wave Endpoint Monitor ferrets out APTs by scanning a system's environment, before the operating system loads, to identify the possible presence of malware. (September 2011)
- Wave completes the acquisition of Safend Ltd., a leading provider of endpoint data loss protection (DLP) solutions, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. Safend's award-winning suite of DLP, port control and removable media encryption software strengthens Wave's existing portfolio of data encryption and device authentication solutions. The acquisition expands Wave's geographic footprint and creates strong cross-selling opportunities by offering customers a cohesive security solution across the data lifecycle. (September 2011)
About Wave Systems
Wave Systems Corp. reduces the complexity, cost and uncertainty of data protection by starting inside the device. Unlike other vendors who try to secure information by adding layers of software for security, Wave leverages the security capabilities built directly into endpoint computing platforms themselves. Wave has been a leading expert in this growing trend, leading the way with first-to-market solutions and helping shape standards through its work as a board member for the Trusted Computing Group.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
As supplemental information, we provide the non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as total billings and EBITDAS. Total billings is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP total net revenues. Total billings means the sum of total net revenues determined in accordance with GAAP, plus the increase or minus the decrease in deferred revenue. We consider total billings an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents the continued increase in our software license upgrades. Total billings is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of total billings by other companies. EBITDAS is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, we regard EBITDAS as a complement to net income (loss) and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow.

Definition of Bull
What does the term "bull" mean as it applies to the world of investing? What is the definition of the term "bull"?
A "bull" is somebody who believes that a certain asset (or the market in general) is set to rise in value.
For instance, a "gold bull" is somebody who is "bullish" on the price of gold, meaning they believe that the price of gold is set to rise from its current levels.
Or, another example - let's say that you believe that shares of Microsoft are going to increase over the short-term due to a new product release. You think that the fundamentals of the company are sound, and you also believe that the shares are being undervalued by the market. In this case, you would be a "bull" on Microsoft (or "bullish" on Microsoft), due to the fact that you believe that shares of the company are going to be heading higher.
The opposite of a bull? A bear. A bear is a person who believe that the market or an individual asset is going to drop in value.

Back in the 1990s, I had the opportunity to read the work of Dr. Andrew Weil. His holistic approach to medicine appealed to me and I shared his books with my mom. Because I was impressed with his approach, I recently picked up a copy of his latest book, "Why Our Health Matters." In the book, Dr. Weil noted that the doctors of tomorrow will differ from today's doctors. He believes one difference will be in how doctors act and interact with their patients. "Too many patients describe their doctors as not being 'people persons,'" he wrote. "They see doctors as poor communicators who tend to be aloof and mechanical, knowledgeable about science and technology but not very comfortable around the people they serve. These deficiencies undermine quality of care."
I agree totally with Dr. Weil's sentiments, especially when it concerns doctors working with people who have Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Based on my mom's experiences, it seemed that many doctors talked through her instead of with her. And some of Mom's doctors didn't take the time to communicate adequately with our family to explain what was going on as her dementia progressed. In fact, I think Mom's diagnosis might have happened earlier if she had built a trusting relationship with a compassionate doctor who understood Mom's fears and could communicate with her in an appropriate manner.
In his book, Dr. Weil notes that the Mayo Clinic conducted a survey of patients that asked "What traits do you want in a doctor?" The top seven traits, along with patients' comments (as quoted by Dr. Weil), were:
- Confident. "The doctor's confidence gave me confidence."
- Empathetic. "The doctor tries to understand what I am feeling and experiencing, physically and emotionally, and communicates that understanding to me."
- Humane. "The doctor is caring, compassionate, and kind."
- Personal. "The doctor is interested in me more than just as a patient, interacts with me, and remembers me as an individual."
- Forthright. "The doctor tells me what I need to know in plain language and in a forthright manner."
- Respectful. "The doctor takes my input seriously and works with me."
- Thorough. "The doctor is conscientious and persistent."
Dr. Weil also suggests two additional categories that doctors should have that are not mentioned on the Mayo Clinic list:
- Healthy. "The doctor exemplifies and models health and health-promoting behavior."
- Broadly knowledgeable. "The doctor knows all the factors that influence health and all the strategies for treating disease."
I'd also add two more qualities needed for doctors who work with those who have dementia. These traits are:
- Patience. I suggest this attribute because the doctor will need to repeat himself/herself often while explaining health issues to the patient during an appointment. I found that in Mom's case, she'd forget what we talked about in just a few moments. Therefore, the ability to repeat oneself without allowing frustration to seep in is critical for doctors working with these patients.
- Systematic. Using Merriam-Webster.com's definition – "relating to or consisting of a system; methodical in procedure and plan" – I'd suggest that doctors who work with people with dementia will need to broaden their communication strategies to include family members. In my mom's case, the doctor (who also was the nursing home physician of record) often visited her in the nursing home; these visits were not announced to family members. However, Dad and I were not present during these visits and never heard the doctor's analysis. The doctor only communicated to the nursing staff, who would give us some information if we thought to ask. However, it's not the same as hearing directly from the doctor. Therefore, it's crucial for these doctors to develop communication strategies that are inclusive, rather than exclusive of family members.
Doctors are critical players in the battle against Alzheimer's; however, how they interact with patients can will make a difference not only in the patients' well-being, but in the understanding of what's happening for both patients and their families. As the number of cases of Alzheimer's increases due to the aging of the Baby Boom generation, I believe it is going to be critically important for doctors to really embrace the traits that Dr. Weil suggests as well as the ones that I've identified. Hopefully, doctors who have these traits will become the norm sooner rather than later.

After Providence, we headed towards our next destination – Boston. But before Boston we had time to make a pit stop per co-worker's recommendation in Newport.
It was a cold day. Newport is located on an island surrounded by the ocean from all sides. The wind coming from the ocean made it even colder. I did not want to get out of the car, so our visit involved a short drive around the town and a visit to one of the mansions.

How is it August already? You have just a month left before Labor Day weekend, aka when the real world resumes, and we've got some ideas on how to make the most of it.
1. Of the many free city-run pools that open during the hottest months, Brooklyn Bridge Park's colorful pop-up pool on Pier 2 has always been one of its most scenic, and best loved. Alas, the Parks Department has other plans for the space, so this will be the last summer to lounge on its sandy beach and splash in the pool, which admits guests in 45-minute sessions so it's never too crowded.
2. The ice cream sandwich got fabulous upgrade at Underwest Donuts — which is expanding from its West Side Highway car wash home into Penn Station soon! — with a scoop of Il Laboratorio del Gelato's dark chocolate or vanilla served between any of their doughnuts.
3. Because you're already on the High Line, stop off at the Whitney Museum for their "Human Interest" exhibit. Pause your selfie-taking for an afternoon and check out all the ways portraits can reveal — or hide — their subject.
4. Not having a backyard is cause for serious FOMO. Luckily, New Yorkers have establishments like Brooklyn's Nowadays. The bar's sprawling, dog-friendly outdoor scene has all the greenery your concrete jungle-bound heart longs for, plus games like ping-pong and the weekly all-ages casual dance party Mister Sunday.

"The Hushabye Shell Afghan is a beautiful blanket that would be a great shower gift. The pattern is an easy shell stitch and the colts are great for a boy or girl. I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Create a Glow in the Dark Evening Bag to carry your things at a Halloween party or festival. Diamond beadlets and netting are used to create this spooky looking handbag. Your friends won't know what's flying around.
- Black envelope-style evening bag
- Ghost die cut or ghost outline cut from white cardstock
- #12 Braid 051F, 056F, 053F, 057F, 055F
- 1-inch Treasure Tape roll
- Two 8" x 10" Treasure Tape sheets
- Diamond Beadlets
- Light blue or white tulle or netting
- 8 1/2 x 11" white paper
- Trace the flap of your purse onto the white paper to make a template. Use this template to cut that exact shape out of one Treasure Tape sheet. Peel off the white backing of the cut tape, and lay on the outside flap of your purse.
- Remove the tape's red liner to expose a sticky surface. Lay the tulle/netting on the taped flap, folding and creasing the fabric lightly. Trim edges flush with purse flap.
- Cut another Treasure Tape sheet to fit your flap template and lay directly onto the tulle. Remove the red liner to expose the sticky top.
- Lay your ghost image on the front of the flap, pressing so it adheres. Lay strands of #12 Braid around the ghost, pressing the thread into the tape. At this point you can add flat-backed cabochons or sequins if you'd like.
- When thread decorating is complete, lay the purse in a shallow pan or tray and cover remaining sticky areas with Diamond Beadlets.

GENERAL DATA ON LEVELS AND STRUCTURE OF HOMELESS PEOPLE IN SPAIN -The 82,7% of the homeless people are male. -The average age in this group is 37,9 years old and their average income is 302 €/month. -The 46% of the homeless people have children, though only the tenth part live with them. -The 30% of the homeless people are teetotal and have never consumed drugs. -The 37, 5% have no own accommodation since more than three years ago. -Half of the homeless population are searching for a job. -The 51,8% are Spanish and the 48,2% are foreigners.
The aided population is composed of the 82,7% of men and the 17,3% of women, what shows a notable growth of male population into this phenomenon. By age, most of the homeless population (42,8% of the total) are between 30 and 44 years old, followed by the age range between 18 and 29 years old (29,9%) and the ones who are from 45 to 64 years old (24,6%). The older than 65 years old ones are a minority (2,8%). The average age of the homeless people is 37,9 years old.
In accordance with the considered categories in order to study the family situation, only the 17,4% of the people keep a steady relationship (married or engaged/unmarried couple). Amongst the other 82,6%, the majority group are the singles (56,1%) and the rest have had a partner and they currently are alone. As regards the descendants, the 46% of the homeless population have children, though only the tenth part live with them.
The 70,2% of the homeless people spend every night in the same place. The 44,5% of the homeless population have used the collective accommodation services, the 16,6% have slept in flats or houses and finally, the 22,5% sleep in public spaces and the 15% in fortune accommodation.
In relation to the working situation, the 11,8% of the total of the homeless people have a job, the 75,7% are unemployed and the rest 12,5% are non-working. Between the unemployed, the 49,6% are looking for a job, so it is deduced that a big part of this population hope to improve their life conditions.
The 66,9% of the homeless people group have a health care card. The 15,6% give evidence of having bad or very bad health, whereas the 52,7% testify to have good or very good health. The 30% of the homeless population are teetotal and have never consumed drugs. There are a 10% with a high or excessive alcohol consumption. As regards the drugs, the 41,5% of the total have ever consumed any drugs.
Spanish principal goal is to reduce the poverty and social exclusion by (between 2009 and 2019). It is closely linked with the goal of raising employment rate and also the education. In this way, we are increasing per capita income and a decrease in this poverty group as well as the poverty child group.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Christmas gift. Real quick shipment. Seems to be in excellent condition. Same price as other places but with discounts and coupons saved a bunch off retail.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Catchers Mitt This is the best catchers mitt! The catchers on our team argue with each other over who gets to use it. I bought it because my hand was getting pretty beat up catching bullpen sessions in practice using an older catchers mitt. It's really well made and looks great. In my opinion, it's worth the price! It took a little while to break in. I don't feel any sting at all no matter how hard the pitchers throw. Been using it for two years now. It'll be the last catchers mitt I buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazing I play 13u travel ball and an low pitches when i tried to frame by thumb would almost bend backwards due to the glove being flimsy but rhe posey is already half broken in and the thumb feels like it would never do my thumb like that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Nice Glove Nice catcher's mitt; but it isn't $250.00 nice. I am a coach and have bought several.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from A monster of a mitt This is the best catcher's I have ever played with. The Buster Posey 34.5" mitt is massive and easy to break in even without oils or conditioners. Highly recommended for high level ball players. Extremely happy with my purchase!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Really nice glove Fast and easy shipping the site was easy to use and easy to track my order packaging was great and best of all the glove itself was tremendous. The only thing that I didn't like is that it didn't come with the heart of the hide keychain it did come new with tags but not with a keychain
Date published: 2015-08-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Solid glove! This is a great glove, you won't be disappointed. The leather, the feel, the comfort and performance are all there at a decent price. Break in may take a little while, but the pocket forms perfectly. We caught over 1000 60 mph pitching machine balls before it was close to game ready for my son. He is 12 and his hand was getting crushed in our old mitt by a strong pitcher, even with a palm gaurd. His confidence was getting crushed too. (No one else on the team will/can catch this pitcher) For him its a bit big, but he is now catching everything again and not losing the ball in the web and he is pain free. He loves this glove! Mission accomplished!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Fantastic I have always had a rawlings mitt. I got a Heart of the Hide fielders glove and it is so nice. I had a catchers mitt for a couple years and it was loose and small. I got this mitt and it is breaking nicely. I have had it for 2 weeks and it will be perfect in about another month.
Date published: 2015-01-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from "Great Glove" I saw buster using the glove in game and I had to get it. This glove is great for catching fastballs to knuckleballs. 4 pitchers on my team throw about 90 and I don't feel any sting. I have had this globe for almost 2 years and it holds its shape perfect.
Date published: 2014-10-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Glove I've had this glove for about 1 week now and after a lot of catch it's starting to break in. I oiled the glove a little on the palm only. I like a glove a little stiff so it will last longer. Don't like "floppy disks," they're for the outfield only. It's a good size, especially if you are catching a knuckleballer. Rawlings HOH gloves have always been good to me. No complaints here.

"Syrians do not want to have the same fate as Iraqis. One of the regime's strongest points is the weakness of the Iraq model."
Related quotes
"Certainly, anti-Syrian forces in Lebanon feel on the defensive, nervous, frightened, depressed. The Syrians may be out in one way, but in others they're always right around the corner and have sufficient friends and supporters in Lebanon that make it unlikely it will turn into a seriously anti-Syrian place."
"It seems that through sending weapons and men and using some Syrian workers they (the Syrians) want to say that Lebanon will face chaos as a result of their departure from Lebanon."
"Those involved, including some arrested, were found to be people working for Syria, including Syrian soldiers disguised as civilians."
"And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother."
"The violence and burnings in Lebanon were the work of Syrian soldiers and workers dressed in civilian clothes."

Product details:
Historic barns are becoming few and far between across the American countryside. Preserve a piece of nostalgia in the miniature garden with the Red Metal Barn. The structure is made from metal painted in traditional barn red and designed to look like seasoned clapboard siding. The roof resembles aging rusting metal that has withstood the test of time and weather conditions. The two front barn doors open up, so livestock can be herded in and out. After a long day of working in the fields, the fairies can even park their tractors inside. A rust coloured metal ladder leads up to the haymow door, which is typically the upper level of the barn where hay is stored. Create a farm themed miniature garden by adding an Early American Home, farm animals, and a Silo. (Note: Miniatures are small items that pose potential choking hazards to small children. They are not toys. Any accessories pictured are not included, for illustrative purposes only.)

I Wanna Go Home Lyrics
Artist: Van Morrison
Album: The Skiffle Sessions - Live in Belfast
("Here's a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!)
("This is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice")
Sailed on the Sloop John B
My granddaddy and me
'Round Nassau town we did roam
We'd been drinkin' all night
Well I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B sail's
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah
'Cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Yes I do
(He's so broke up, Lord, I wanna go home)
Well Captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he don't give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, I
I wanna go home
Well pull up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I wanna go home
'Cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up)
I wanna go home
(Yes I do)
I feel so broke up
(He so broke up)
Lord, that I wanna go home

Tim and Will Brown have been active all their lives, playing a variety of sports in their New England hometown before making their way west to pursue careers in the ski and surf industries.
Tim landed his dream job on ski patrol at a Colorado resort, but In his second winter on the job, when he was clearing the mountain on February 13, 2011, an accident changed his life forever.
"I don't remember it," Tim, now 28, says. "No one really knows what truly happened."
Tim's spinal cord injury rendered him paralyzed and unable to move his legs. The always-active brothers' lives now, three years later, are different, yet very much the same.
Watch the video (above) to hear the Brown brothers explain why they support Wings For Life World Run -- a global race dedicated to funding spinal cord injury research.
Tim is currently studying for a master's degree at Harvard's extension school while also working through intense exercise and mental therapy treatment. Will, now 25, works in Aspen towards becoming a professional skier, and will run the Denver Wings For Life World Run in honor of his brother on May 4.
"Spinal cord injuries happen to the people you love the most, and are extremely unpredictable in any circumstance," Will says. "There's no reason not to get out there and have fun running, using what you're blessed with every day and supporting a life-changing cause.
The fact that everyone around the world is running at the same time, no matter what, is so powerful, and a good example of how we can all work together to make things happen.
"Unlike most other times when you're racing, this time it's really about running for those who can't all at once. That's a huge motivator and it will definitely increase the distance and speed at which I'm able to run."
The global, collaborative effort of the Wings For Life World Run appealed to both Tim and Will.
"Getting everyone around the world to do something together, metaphorically, it's really powerful," Tim says. "There are so many great things going on in spinal cord injury research and so many approaches to recovery -- whether it's stem cell, exercise rehab, or alternative medicine approaches.
"As progress is made, people can come together, whether they are in Germany, Japan or the United States, to share information and research. The fact that everyone around the world is running at the same time, no matter what, is so powerful, and a good example of how we can all work together to make things happen."
"In the beginning, when I was in the hospital, knowing it was really hard for me, I can only imagine what it was like for Tim," Will says. "I decided to flip it. Tim is an inspiration every day for me and I have decided to not have any excuses or reasons to not take advantage of every opportunity. I do the best to be supportive of him and work hard with what we were given."
Determination and believing in yourself, and believing in people around you, can change everything.
"Our relationship has grown a lot stronger," Tim says. "It was really hard at first, and to be totally honest, to see Will do all the things he and I both love -- skiing and surfing -- it hit home for me. But we have become a lot closer and Will has always been super positive about my ability to recover. There are times Will believes in me even more than I believe in myself. "
"I have no doubt that he'll continue to recover," Will says. "His accident has changed my perspective on the world. Determination and believing in yourself, and believing in people around you, can change everything."

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 67,250 filed Aug. 17, 1979, abandoned.
Metal halide lasers, such as mercury halide, zinc halide and cadmium halide, require high temperature operation and must be excited by electrical discharges with ultrafast current pulses and very high peak current. These specifications require low inductance laser tube designs suitable for high temperature operation.
These electrical requirements can be easily accommodated for low temperature, i.e., room temperature, laser operation by inserting low inductance capacitors across the laser electrodes. This technique is not compatible with the chemically corrosive laser gas media of metal halide lasers operating at pressures exceeding atmospheric pressure and temperatures of up to 600� C.
There is disclosed herein with reference to the accompanying drawing a laser tube design incorporating a low inductance capacitor concept capable of withstanding the high temperature laser operation of a metal halide laser and the chemical reactivity of the resulting corrosive laser gases. The capacitor design is such that the capacitor can operate within high pressure laser environments, i.e. greater than 1 atmosphere, without degradation.
The capacitor configuration is secured to at least one of the laser electrodes and is positioned within the quartz laser discharge tube. The capacitor is a dielectric capacitor consisting of alternate folded layers, or sheets, of a metal conductor and dielectric material extending substantially the length of the electrode with the metallic layers of the capacitor extending to the opposite electrode to shunt the laser gap and thus effectively reduce the circuit inductance.
The disclosed built-in low inductance capacitor technique provides very high peak current pulses in the laser discharge region while significantly reducing the current required in the electrical feedthroughs entering the laser discharge tube from an external power source. Furthermore, since the disclosed capacitor is constructed of high temperature materials permitting it to operate within the laser discharge tube, the traditional requirement for low inductance metal to glass seals for the feedthroughs in the quartz discharge tube are significantly reduced.
The invention will become more readily apparent from the following exemplary description in connection with the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a pictorial illustration of a built-in low inductance capacitor constructed of materials to permit its operation within the laser discharge tube of a mercury halide laser;
FIG. 2 is an end view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an illustration of the laser electrode configuration and accompanying low inductance capacitance of FIGS. 1 and 2 positioned within a quartz laser discharge tube; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are alternate embodiments of the novel built-in low inductance high temperature capacitor in combination with laser electrodes.
A typical embodiment of the unique low inductance capacitor suitable for operation within a mercury halide laser environment in combination with the laser electrodes is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
The laser system 10 is illustrated as consisting of a tubular enclosure 12, typically consisting of a glass or quartz tube, surrounding planar transverse electrodes 14 and 16 extending from metal support plates 20 and 22, respectively, and defining a laser discharge region 24 therebetween.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a dielectric capacitor 30, consisting of multiple alternate layers of metal sheets 32 and a dielectric insulator 34, is positioned on a surface of the support member 20 opposite the surface of the support member which supports the electrode 14. A metal retainer plate 40 is secured to the electrode support plate 20 via bolts 42 to compress and secure the position of the capacitor 30 in contact with the support plate 20. The capacitor 30, as more clearly illustrated in FIG. 2, is illustrated as consisting of a folded continuous sheet of dielectric insulator 34 with alternate metal sheets 32a being secured to the support plate 20 via a suitable fastener 36 while alternate metal sheets 34b extend to the support plate 22 associated with electrode 16 and are secured thereto by fastener 38. The capacitor 30 extends for approximately the total length of the electrodes 14 and 16 thus providing a continuous dielectric capacitor over substantially the entire discharge region 24. In order to meet the high temperature and chemically corrosive conditions of metal halide and metal excimer laser operation the selection of materials for the metal sheets 32 and the dielectric insulator 34 must take into consideration the typical operating temperatures approaching 600� C. and the chemical activity associated with the particular metal vapor laser medium. It has been determined experimentally that the selection of stainless steel, graphite, or a noble metal material such as gold or platinum for the metal sheets 32 and a commercially available polyimide film such as commercially available Kapton or Mica, or quartz for the dielectric insulator 34 produces a capacitor 30 suitable for withstanding laser operation at elevated temperatures. While silver is a suitable metal sheet material for some applications, its reactivity with mercury halides makes it a poor choice for a mercury halide laser application. The desired voltage rating of any given application can be achieved through the use of the proper number of layers of the metal sheets 32 and the dielectric insulator 34.
The particular construction design of the capacitor 30 of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is particularly advantageous for the typical transverse lasers which are approximately two feet in length or longer with a discharge region 24 of approximately one centimeter and employing a working voltage in a range of between approximately a few kV to 20 kV or more.
In the illustration of FIG. 3, the electrode 16 is connected to an electrical ground through a feedthrough 23 in the tubular housing 12 while electrode excitation is supplied from an external power supply 50 through a feedthrough 52 in the tubular housing 12 to the electrode 14.
Assume for the purposes of discussion that a working voltage of 20 kV is desired. Further assume that the length of the transverse electrodes 14 and 16 is approximately 30 inches, or 76 centimeters, and that the gap of the discharge region 24 between the electrodes 14 and 16 is approximately one centimeter. If a pulse width of less than 30 nanoseconds is desired and a capacitance of approximately 20 nanofarads is desired for exciting the laser medium present within the discharge gap region 24 at an operating temperature of 200� C., the capacitance per each layer of the dielectric insulating material 34 can be calculated as follows:
C=0.2244KA/D μμF
K=dielectric constant of the dielectric,
A=area of one surface of a layer of the dielectric insulator 34, in square inches, and
D=spacing (inches) between adjacent layers of the dielectric insulator.
In an experimental evaluation of the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 employing Kapton as the dielectric insulator 34 having a dielectric constant K of 3.5, an area for each of the layers of dielectric film of 18 square inches (2 in.�9 in.) and a spacing between adjacent layers of the dielectric insulator of approximately 0.010 in., the capacitance for each layer in accordance with the above equation is approximately 1.4 nanofarads.
Thus seven spaces or eight layers of dielectric insulator results in a capacitance of approximately 10 nanofarads. If two such capacitors are positioned side-by-side along the length of the electrode support 20 this would produce the desired 20 nanofarad capacitance. The thickness of the metal sheets 32 chosen for the above implementation was approximately 0.002 in.
The retainer plate 40, when secured to the support plate 20, tightly condenses the alternate layers of metal sheets 32 and dielectric insulator 34 to effect a compact capacitor/electrode combination which can be readily positioned within the laser discharge tube 12.
The coupling of the metal sheets 32b to the support plate 22 associated with the opposite electrode 16 significantly reduces the circuit inductance. In experimental tests, a current pulse width of about 25 nanoseconds was obtained indicating that the circuit inductance was in the order of three nanohenries. Peak currents of about 20 kiloamperes were obtained with a charging voltage of approximately 14 kilovolts.
In the alternate embodiment of FIG. 4 multilayer dielectric capacitors 60 and 70 are positioned in contact with surfaces of electrode support plates 62 and 72, respectively. Electrodes 64 and 74 extend perpendicularly from opposite surfaces of plates 62 and 72 and define the discharge gap region 68. A single dielectric insulator sheet 80 forms multiple dielectric insulator layers 82 for the capacitors 60 and 70. The metal sheets of the capacitor 60 consists of folded layers, or alternate sheets, 61 which are secured to the support member 62 and alternate sheets 63 which extend between alternate layers of the dielectric insulator 80 of both capacitors 60 and 70. In addition to the metal sheets 63, capacitor 70 includes alternate metal sheets 71 which are connected to the support plate 72 of the electrode 74. An electrical ground terminal 83 is connected to the metal sheets 63 while capacitor charging terminals 65 and 75 of the capacitor metal plates 61 and 71, respectively, are connected to a common charging voltage source thereby establishing the combination of capacitors 60 and 70 in a Blumlein circuit which yields twice the voltage as that produced by the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 in response to the same charging voltage.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5 capacitors 90 and 100 are constructed in the manner described above. They are connected in a shunting relationship between the support plates 110 and 120 associated with laser electrodes 112 and 122, respectively. This combination of electrode assemblies and capacitors essentially encloses in a tubular fashion the laser discharge region 130. The capacitor 90 consists of folded layers or alternate metal sheets 92 connected to support member 110 and alternate metal sheets 94 connected to support member 120. A dielectric insulator 96 forms dielectric insulator layers between the adjacent metal sheets 92 and 94. Similarly the capacitor 100 consists of folded layers or alternate metal sheets 102 which are connected to the support member 110 and alternate metal sheets 104 which are connected to support member 120. A dielectric insulator 106, as described above, forms dielectric insulator layers between the adjacent metal sheets 102 and 104. The shunting of the laser discharge gap 130 by capacitors 90 and 100 effectively reduces the circuit inductance by a factor of two over the capacitor/electrode configuration of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
While the above disclosure identifies the use of selected noble metals, graphite and stainless steel for the metal materials of the respective capacitor configurations in combination with a suitable dielectric insulator for operation in laser environments at 200� C., the specific operating temperature and laser medium will define the preferred combination of materials for the metal sheets and dielectric insulator. For example, in a laser operating at temperatures of 400� C. or higher the capacitors would typically use solid dielectric material such as quartz or mica sheet laminate in place of the commercially available Kapton.
The disclosure of suitable high temperature low inductance capacitors for operation within the laser discharge tube significantly reduces the traditional requirements for low inductance metal-to-glass feedthroughs in the laser discharge tube to accommodate the high current which traditionally is supplied through the laser discharge tube from an external source. The disclosed technique for positioning a capacitor totally within the laser discharge tube greatly reduces the electromagnetic interference due to the shielding effect of the capacitors located in the vicinity of the laser discharge region.
