This study is the first to present a quantitative survey of bird species occurring in the archipelago of Anavilhanas, located in the Rio Negro in the Brazilian Amazon and is part of the Anavilhanas Ecological Station. We asked whether bird community composition is similar among the islands, and between islands and areas dominated by the surrounding upland terra firme forest on the left (east) margin of the Rio Negro. The surveys were conducted in November and December of 1988, using two complementary methods with mist nets and boat transects. A total of 232 bird species was found for Anavilhanas including a survey done in 1998. The families Tyrannidae and Thamnophilidae showed the highest number of species (16.4% and 9.0% of the total respectively). Some species not well known or having limited distributions are relatively frequently encountered in the archipelago, such as Spizastur melanoleucus, Mitu tomentosa, Phaethornis rupurumii, Xiphorhynchus kienerii, Thamnophilus nigrocinereus, Myrmotherula klagesi, Myrmoborus lugubris, Pipra filicauda, and Cephalopterus ornatus. Hybrid Multidimensional Scaling (HMDS) ordination analysis indicated that the bird community composition is similar among islands. However, the bird community composition on the islands was significantly different from that in sites of terra firme forest at Rio Negro margins. Anavilhanas is a unique ecological system in the Amazon and has it own avifauna.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. GMC automobile owners have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their K25 around town. Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality repair parts to fix your K25. You bought your K25 because its reliability and trusted quality appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
Your GMC K25 has a water-cooled motor, and at the heart of that engine is the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the radiator, thermostat, and a system of hoses and cooling pipes, your GMC K25 water pump reliably injects and spreads the water and ethylene glycol mixture throughout hoses and passages in the engine block and cylinder head; keeping operating temperatures down below the boiling point. If it fails, then the coolant temperature will soar and your engine block or cylinder head will crack.
Procuring new GMC parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement K25 parts on the internet. When your GMC needs a new replacement Water Pump, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Congress Grapples With Health Funding Issues
Medicare Debate Offers Vehicle for LMHCs
Vice-President Joe Biden is leading deficit-reduction negotiations that are expected to result in legislation that would make sweeping changes in long-term spending such as Medicare, and perhaps in taxes. Such a large and ultimately bipartisan agreement offers a must-pass bill that may become a vehicle for small Medicare spending changes, including extending Medicare independent provider status to LMHCs.
1) to be connected to the office of one of your Senators;
Alternatively, find your two Senators' name on an Internet search engine, go to their website, and use the "Contact" link, typically on their main page, to send an email urging cosponsorship of the bill. Tell your Senators that this bill will improve Medicare beneficiaries' access to outpatient mental healthcare in a cost-effective manner, by establishing coverage of highly qualified LMHCs.
If Congress defers action on Medicare in this summer's deficit-reduction agreement, it must still pass Medicare legislation later this year to prevent a scheduled 20 percent pay cut for participating physicians. Therefore, we expect to remain active on this issue throughout the year.
Deadline Missed for TRICARE LMHC Independent Practice Rule
The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2011, signed in January 2011, directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to adopt regulations allowing licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs) to practice independently under the TRICARE program. The Act gave DoD until June 20th to issue rules implementing the requirement, but DoD has now missed the deadline, making it impossible to implement the directive. Estimates of when the rules will be released range from six to 18 months from now.
VA Is Slow to Hire LMHCs
AMHCA is hearing a few scattered reports of increased VA hiring, but progress is slow and the agency has taken little action to promote the option among its local facilities. We will continue advocating for expanded VA hiring of LMHCs within the agency. We also continue to support the VA expanding its September 2010 federal rule limiting qualified counselors to graduates of CACREP-accredited schools.
AMHCA Joins Comments on ACO Regs
AMHCA has joined with other national mental health and substance-use disorder organizations in commenting on important proposed regulations concerning the development of Accountable Care Organizations implementing the federal healthcare reform law.
* Jim Finley became AMHCA's new director for public policy in mid-May. He brings to his new role many years of experience advocating for federal mental health coverage, including most recently representing the National Association of Social Workers.

The present invention relates in general to printing stereoscopic images, multiple images, or motion images; and in particular to a method for printing interdigitated images or a lenticular medium.
Lenticular overlays are a means of giving images the appearance of depth. A lenticular image is created using a transparent upper layer having narrow, parallel lenticules (semi-cylindrical lenses) on an outer surface, and an image-containing media. The two layers form a lenticular system wherein different portions of an image are selectively visible as a function of the angle from which the system is viewed.
If the image is a composite picture made by bringing together into a single composition a number of different parts of a scene photographed from different angles and the lenticules are oriented vertically, each eye of a viewer will see different elements and the viewer will interpret the net result as depth of field. The viewer may also move his head with respect to the image thereby observing other views with each eye and enhancing the sense of depth. When the lenticules are oriented horizontally, each eye receives the same image. In this case, the multiple images give illusion of motion when the composite image is rotated about a line parallel to a line formed by the viewers eyes.
Whether the lenticules are oriented vertically or parallel, each of the viewed images are generated by lines of images which have been interlaced at the frequency of the lenticular screen. Interlacing lines of each image is referred to as interdigitation. Interdigitation can be better understood by using as an example four images used to form a composite with a material having three lenticules. In this example, line 1 from each of the four images is in registration with the first lenticule; line 2 from each of the four images is in registration with the second lenticule; etc. Each lenticule is associated with a plurality of image lines or an image line set, and the viewer sees only one image line of each set with each eye for each lenticule. It is imperative that the image line sets be registered accurately with respect to the lenticules, so that the proper picture is formed when the assembly is viewed.
Conventional recording of linear images on a lenticular recording material has been accomplished with a stereoscopic image recording apparatus that uses optical exposure. A light source, such as a halogen lamp, is projected through an original image, through a projection lens, and focused on lenticular material. The images are exposed on a receiver attached to the lenticular material as linear images. Japanese (Kokoku) Patent Application Nos. 5473/1967, 6488/1973, 607/1974, and 33847/1978 disclose recording apparatus in which two original images are projected for printing on a lenticular recording material. Recording composite images in this fashion requires complex lens structures, which are expensive.
In contrast, image recording by scanning exposure requires comparatively simple optics, has great flexibility in adapting to various image processing operations, and to alterations in the dimension of the lenticules. To take advantage of these features, various apparatus and methods have been proposed for recording image by scanning exposure. For example, Japanese (Kokoku) Patent Application No. 3781/1984 teaches a stereoscopic image recording system in which a plurality of original images is taken with a TV camera, processed and stored in frame memories from which the stored image signals are retrieved sequentially as linear images in accordance with the pitch of lenticular lenses used. After the linear images are recorded on a recording material by scanning exposure, the lenticular sheet is bonded to the recording material. Another scanning method uses polygon scanners, described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,349,419, for exposure of photosensitive stereoscopic images directly on lenticular materials.
In order to manufacture lenticular images, a small spot size and long straight uniform scan lines are needed. U.S. Pat. No. 3,485,945 describes a system for producing high quality lenticular images writing images directly onto the back of lenticular material.
One inherent limitation of direct writing techniques is that in order to achieve large high resolution images the scan lines must be written with a small spot size and must be written as long straight lines. This results in a scan line length to spot size ration, which is so large as to be impractical. As a result, the optical design of the device for scanning the lines which form the image, and which must provide a uniform scan which maintains linearity alignment and spot size specifications throughout its scan length, becomes impractical. Whether the scanning device is a cathode ray tube, a scanned light beam, a scanned beam of electrons, a thermal resistive head, or other image-scanning device, the requirement of small spot size and long, straight, uniform scan lines may not be achievable at a reasonable cost. This problem is aggravated because the scan lines must be parallel to the lenticules or across the lenticules, throughout the entire length of the scan.
To make large, high quality lenticular images requires writing scan lines which are accurately aligned to the lenticular material over the entire of the image. Because the precision required is proportional to the number of views and the size of the lenticules, increasing the size of the lenticules and reducing the number of views has solved the problem in the past. The disadvantage of decreasing the number of lenticules is that the image has lower apparent resolution and the lenticular material must be thicker making the image heavier and more expensive because of the additional material required. Another disadvantage of decreasing the number of views is that all the overall image quality is reduced.
In prior art applications, lenticular views have been digitally written in a single scan thereby limiting the dimensions of the image produced to the size of the printer scan, or necessitating the use of an enlarger which decreases image quality and increases the cost of manufacturing. See Method for Enlarging Images for Lenticular Prints by R. R. A. Morton, U.S. Pat. No. 5,673,100.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for printing large format lenticular images.
According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for printing large format lenticular images on a lenticular sheet having a plurality a generally parallel lenticules on a front side of the lenticular sheet, comprises a sensor which senses a beginning of each lenticule. A printhead prints interleaved image information on the lenticular sheet in a series of swaths wherein a width of each of the swaths is less than a width of the lenticular sheet. In one embodiment, each of the swaths is printed in a direction parallel to said lenticules. In another embodiment, each of the swaths is printed in a direction perpendicular to said lenticules.
In the preferred embodiment, a narrow scanning spot prints on a silver halide emulsion on a backside of the lenticular sheet. According to another aspect of the invention, the spot is elongated.
An advantage of the present invention is that when printing in swaths perpendicular to the direction of the lenticules, lenticular rows, which are not straight, do not degradate the quality of the image.
The invention and its objects and advantages will become more apparent in the detailed description of the preferred embodiment presented below.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a printhead, printing swaths on a media according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a controller for a printhead according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a plan view of scan lines for adjacent swaths.
FIG. 4 shown a plan view of scan lines in adjacent swaths for an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a graph showing blending of data from the embodiment shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of blending video amplitude data.
FIG. 7 shows misalignment of reference marks in the media.
FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a servo system for correction of angular position.
FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the media and media.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the media and media.
FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing writing of data to the media through the media.
FIG. 12 is a schematic view with the scan line direction perpendicular to the lenticular direction.
FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing printing through the lenticules.
FIG. 1 shows an media 101 on which is to be placed an image. The media 101 used for printing lenticular images is typically comprised of parallel rows of lenticules on a first side of the media 101 and a receiver on another side of the media. A printhead 102 traverses the media in direction 103 to sweep out swaths 110, 111, 112 and 113 across the media. The direction of the printhead swath 112 may be in direction 104 or in direction 105. Thus, printhead 102 after printing swath 111 in direction 103 may return to the beginning of swath 112 and print in a direction 105, or after completion of swath 111 the printhead may be moved laterally and print swath 112, moving in a direction 104.
The printhead 102 may be a laser scanner, cathode ray tube, thermal resistive head, an ink jet head, or other device for directing energy or dye to the media 101. In the case of directing energy on the media, the printing process may be comprised of silver halide, dye sublimation thermal, dye diffusion thermal, wax transfer thermal, electrographic, ektaflex or other image forming means.
The control of the printhead 102 is a system which senses preexisting positional data which has been incorporated into the media 101. The signals from this preexisting positional data are used to control the position of the printhead 102 and the flow of image information from the printhead 102 onto the media 101.
FIG. 2 shows a controller 119 for controlling the position of the printhead 102. Table 201 supports media 101 and is moved in directions 202 and 203 by control motors 205 and 204. These motors are connected to lead screws 206 and 207, and are driven by servo system 208, which receives control signals from magnetic sensors 209 and 210. Printhead 102 traverses the media 101 as motor 205 turns leadscrew 207 to drive an engaging nut (not shown) and table 201, which supports media 101. Image information passes from image rendering device 211 to printhead 102 along connection 212. Rendering device 211 produces desired X and Y positional data along line 214 to servo system 208. Direction X corresponds to direction 203, and Y corresponds to direction 202.
Data from sensors 209 and 210, corresponding to X, Y coordinates, is compared in servo system 208 with the desired XY location generated on line 213 by renderer 211, and servo system 208 generates control signals to motor 205 and motor 204 along line 214 so that the position of table 201 corresponds to the desired position specified by renderer 211 on line 213. Thus, along the central swath 221 of the three swaths, 220, 221 and 222, an image is written at points predetermined by sensors 209 and 210, sensing reference marks, or preexisting positional data, which is written in magnetic form on the underside of media 101. It will, however, be appreciated that other marks such as infrared, fluorescent inks, embossing marks, electrostatic signals, x-ray detectable signals, changes in resistively, elevation, or other locating marks could be used.
In order to write swath 220, table 201 is moved by servo motors 204 and 205 to the position shown in FIG. 2. That the table may move in direction 202 while keeping the sensors clear of the ends of the supports of the table 201 so that the sensors may traverse underneath the media 101 along either side of swath 220. To achieve this, the media 101 overhangs the table 201. It is now possible to traverse the image printhead 102 along swath 220. The renderer 211 generates image signals along connection 212 to print swath 220 which abuts the image data along swath 221. Renderer 211 also generates X and Y control signals to servo 208 such that the passage of image printhead 102 along swath 220 causes image data to precisely be aligned with the image data on swath 221, as shown in FIG. 3.
It will be appreciated that the arrowheads on interconnecting lines, for example 212, 213 and 214, which indicate the primary but not the exclusive flow of information along these interconnecting lines. Image information, for example acknowledgement signals, device status, information associated with servo loops inside the main servo loop, homing signals, synchronizing signals, clock signals, and similar information, may pass in the direction which is opposite or the same as the arrow shown. Thus, it will be appreciated that these arrowheads are included for the clarification and understanding in the mind of the reader so as to communicate the upper level system performance of the equipment rather than the detailed performance.
FIG. 3 shows in magnified form the way in which scan lines traversing across swath 221 abut the scan lines associated with swath 220. The scan lines, which comprise the swath lines, are comprised of individual pixels. For example, 301, 302 and 303 on scan line 310 on swath 221; and 304, 305 and 306 on scan line 311 on swath 220. Similar arrangements also occur on scan lines 312, 313 as well as subsequent and precedent scan lines.
The scan lines need not contain exclusive abutting pixels such as pixel 303 associated with scan line 310, and pixel 304 associated with scan line 311. While this approach is feasible it does depend on the servo system head assembly and table shown in FIG. 2 working in cooperation to achieve positional accuracy whose magnitude is a small fraction, in the range of 0.01 to 0.50 of a pixel spacing and a scan line spacing. This range depends on the viewing conditions of the final image, the overall effective spot size of the system including the size of the spot used to write the pixels, the interactions between the dye or the colorant and the media which receives the dye or colorant. It also depends on a number of other imaging system factors including the viewing distance and visual acuity of the observer.
An alternate way to insure that the swaths 220 and 221 have visually imperceptible seams between them is to blend the pixels at the boundaries where the seams occur. This is shown in FIG. 4 where scan line 410 extends across the boundary 423 between swath 221 and 220 to point 420, and scan line 411 extends across boundary 423 to point 421, such that pixels 402, 403, 404, 405, 406 and 407 are written by both scan lines 410 and 411. In addition, pixel 401 and adjoining pixels along scan line 410 in the direction away from pixel 402, are only written by scan line 410. A similar condition applies for pixel 408, 409 and so on with respect to scan line 411. In this alternative implementation servo system 208 blends the pixel data as shown in FIG. 5. A profiling technique is used, which can be shown by considering positions along line 501 to correspond to the positions in the Y direction along scan lines 410 and 411. The desired image data for pixels along scan line 410 is multiplied by a profile shown as 502 which at position corresponding to pixel 402 in the Y direction has an amplitude of unity and declines to a value of zero for pixel 408.
FIG. 6 shows the way in which video amplitude data on line 601 is processed to achieve the desired blending effect. The data on 601 enters function 602 which also receives the amplitude data as a function of Y corresponding to the amplitude shown in FIG. 5 as profile 502. This data is entered on line 603. Function 602 may be a multiplier or a two dimensional look up function, which produces an amplitude on line 604, which is the product of 601 and 603 or some other monotonically related function selected or experimentally determined to ensure that the blending technique produces a visually imperceptible result in the final image. For example, while the amplitude on data line 601 may correspond to the amplitude of the energy written by printhead 102 the final desired blending effect may be based on density blending rather than intensity blending and to achieve this it may be necessary that the profile along 502 as well as the relational function between the amplitude on line 603 and the amplitude on line 604 be nonlinear. Furthermore this function may vary as a function of the different color channels which are controlled through the data on 601. Similarly, profile 503 controls the amplitude along scan line 411 so that the data corresponding to pixels 402 to 410 and subsequent pixels is modified in a manner similar to the pixels along scan line 410.
It will be appreciated that generally, whether printing scan line 410 or 411, the data on line 601 at, for example pixel 403, will be the same however, the data on line 603 will correspond to profile 502 for scan line 410 and 503 for scan line 411. Thus, pixels 402 to 407 are written twice, once on scan line 410 and once on scan line 411, and the resultant visually perceived pixel is therefore less sensitive to the alignment between scan line 410 and 411 and to the alignment between adjoining pixels.
One other cause of misalignment is that the reference marks or preexisting positional data used to locate XY coordinates on the media 101 may not fall on a regular grid pattern. This may occur due to errors in the mechanism that positions these marks on the media or due to distortion of the media subsequently to the writing of the media. This is shown diagrammatically in an exaggerated sense in FIG. 7, wherein the preexisting positional marks for scan line 120, which goes from one edge 130 to the other edge 131 of the media, are not perfectly aligned. Thus, instead of being as shown by the solid line, the preexisting positional marks, which are shown as 141, 142, 143 and 144, will require that for adequate alignment scan lines be written along dashed lines 150, 151 and 152. Provided these lines are straight an angular displacement of printhead 102 as it traverses swath 220, 221 and 222 is able to compensate for this distortion and still achieve accurate alignment of the image between the swaths. While the preexisting positional marks 141, 142, 143 and 144 may be in a straight line, the writing printhead 102 is not accurately aligned from am angular point of view to the preexisting positional marks.
To overcome both the problem of the preexisting positional marks not being correctly aligned, the head not being accurately aligned from an angular point of view and similar effects, it is possible, while writing the image, to make small changes to the angle of the head with respect to the direction of the motion.
The servo system 208 is shown in FIG. 2 has the added capability of sensing the phase difference between position sensor 209 and position sensor 210 as well as the average position. This can be used for angular correction. This is shown in FIG. 8, wherein the connecting line 231 from position sensor 210 and the connecting line 232 from position sensor 209 contain the instantaneous X, and possibly Y, coordinates of the current position of the media 101. The X coordinates are fed to a summing function 801. The sum of two X coordinates is divided by 2 and may be temporarily averaged to remove small amounts noise corresponding to residual noise in the current X coordinate values of the media. The same signals corresponding to the instantaneous X coordinate of the base on lines 231 and 231 from sensors 210 and 209 are sent to the subtract function 802 whose output on line 804 corresponds to the angular difference between the preexisting positional marks on the media. Again, temporal averaging may be used. The signal on line 803 corresponding to the current position is sent to the servo subsystem 805 which controls motor 205 on line 233 to control the velocity and position of the media 101. While the subtract signal corresponding to the angular difference on line 804 goes to angular servo system 806 which through line 230 connects to motor 234. This motor controls the angle of printhead 102 which is mechanically pivoted about axis 235 which axis is placed at the center axis of the scanning head such that angular changes do not change its average position in the X direction. Consequently, small angular changes in the position of the scan line traversing swath 221 may be made. Thus, FIG. 8 shows in more detail a portion of the operation of servo system 208. Other components of servo system 208 for example, will include power supply, synchronizing functions etc.
Other methods for achieving angular alignment including rotating the media and maintaining the head stationary or rotating an element within the head so that the scanning direction is able to be angularly adjusted. Additional methods are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,830,194.
As already discussed above, there are a variety of techniques for establishing the preexisting positional marks. These include writing magnetic data on a magnetic layer which may be either on the receiver side or the lenticular of the media. Some constructions may involve the use of additional layers to embed the image-forming layer within the media. However, at the time the image is written the receiver, or image-forming layer, is generally exposed with respect to the supporting media. In addition, preexisting positional data or marks may be placed at some layer that is internal to the media at the time the image is written.
Other methods for forming the preexisting positional marks for referencing the image position along swaths include fluorescent dyes that may be caused to fluoresce in invisible or non-visible spectral frequencies using radiation which may also be visible or non-visible. A further method is to embed voids that may be detected ultrasonically, by optical means, or by other means. Another method is to use embedded or surface charge that may be detected to provide positional information. In addition, the resistively either surface or bulk may be modified to establish reference marks. A further method of producing is polarizing the surface of the media to provide detectable marks or to change the reflectivity or texture of the surface.
Another method of producing reference marks is to place yellow reference marks, which might by microscopic and therefore will not disturb the appearance of the image. Yet another embodiment uses marks which are visible only to light which is outside of the sensitive spectrum of the media such as IR marks or UV marks spectrum. Reference marks may be removed during subsequent processing of the imaging media.
A further method of producing reference marks is to burn pits into the surface which pits may be optically detected but may not be optically visible to the viewer.
A further method of producing reference marks is to use a holographic optical layer within or on the surface of the image media or image receiver layer.
It is also possible to collectively apply layers using photography and other methods which may be detected by sensors. These methods include thin metalization layers, oxide layers on a metalized media, oxide layers on material media and layers which exhibit other physical or chemical properties whose presence may be detected so as to determine the specific location and therefore constitute preexisting positional data or a preexisting positional mark.
A further method of achieving alignment between consecutive swaths is to encode within a previous swath, codes which may be detected on a subsequent swath. These codes may be written, at the same time as the image content is being written such as by encoding magnetic data into the image concurrent with writing the image.
Image data may also be used to generate a reference code either by writing an IR layer or by using microstructure within the visible image that does not degrade the image when viewed by the observer.
It is also appreciated that any of the methods described herein as well as other methods could be placed in the image media, image receiver layer or at any other position within the material which is being written upon.
A preferred embodiment is to use this invention to write lenticular images which are larger than a single scan width. In this case the lenticules which are preformed into the media are used as the preexisting positional data or reference marks to define the position of where scan lines are to be written. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,835,194. See also 09/033,212 "Detection of Pitch Variations in Lenticular Material"; 09/342,391 "Detection and Correction of Skew Between a Writing Laser Beam and Lenticules in Lenticular Material).
In the preferred embodiment an IR beam is used to sense the position of the lenticules. As shown in FIG. 9 a receiver 901 is bonded on a back surface of media 101. A lenticular sheet 902 comprised of lenticules 903, 904, 905 and 906 is on a front surface of media 101. An IR beam 910 illuminates the lenticular material at points corresponding to the edges of the swaths or alternatively across the full width of a swath being scanned by successive scan lines, for example scan line 911 across swath 220. The beam is deflected at an angle 912 depending on its position with respect to the centerline of the lenticule. A linear array sensor 913 detects the reflected beam, and a signal from the sensor 913 indicates the position of the beam with respect to the lenticule on line 914. A similar sensor, not shown, may be placed on the other side of the swath beneath the position 915. The line 914 and the signal from a sensor positioned below 915 at the other side of the swath which signal emerges on line 916 passes to a module which processes the signal to determine the X coordinates of the media 101, which are then sent to servo system 208 to connect at the points defined by lines 231 and 232.
Alternatively, rather than have array sensors 913, single position sensors may be used to generate a pulse whenever the beam sweeps across them. Referring to FIG. 10, an example of a single position sensor is 1001 which senses beam 910 that in this case is deflected by its relative position to the lenticule at a different angle 1002 by way of example.
An alternative embodiment, shown in FIG. 11, avoids the need for access to the lower side of the lenticular material and therefore simplifies the design of the stage that supports the lenticular material The lenticular material is placed on a stage 1101, which contains on its upper surface an IR absorbing printhead 102 and the illuminating IR beam comprising collimated bundle 1104 is deflected by lens 1106 in such a way that the beam hits the media air boundary surface defined by the lenticules at right angles and light reflects back along the same path to semi-silvered mirror 1108 to produce a return beam 1110, which is collimated to a sensor and sensed to generate a pulse signal in detector 1112 along line 1114 whenever the beam is directly above the lenticule. The resulting signal is used in element 1116 to generate an X coordinate on line 1118. This line may then be connected to servo system 208 at the points defined by the connection of line 231 and for a similar assembly for example 211 on the other side of the swath. The output of this assembly would then be connected to the point on servo system 208 corresponding to the point where line 232 connects. To maximize the signal to noise of the responding signal it is desirable to ensure that the surface of stage 1101 is highly IR absorbent thereby minimizing spurious reflections.
Throughout this disclosure it will be appreciated that the principles described can be applied to other configurations for writing on imaging medias. These include a capstan drive for the media such as found in printing presses and some electrophotographic copiers. Moving the scanning head across the media while keeping the media stationary as well as other configurations. An alternative configuration is to control the synchronization of the writing image data with position of the media rather than that of the media with image data.
An alternative configuration is to write the scan lines across or perpendicular to the lenticules rather than parallel to the lenticules, and sense the position of the scan in relation to the preexisting positional data on the image media. The fast scan is then to controlled rather than the slow scan either by controlling its position based on the image data and the sensed position of preexisting positional data on the image media. Alternatively the scanning across the lenticules can be controlled by synchronizing the writing image data with the position of the media rather than that of the media with image data.
Another embodiment of the present invention is shown on FIG. 12. In this embodiment printhead 102 prints a swath at a time with the scan line direction X being perpendicular to the lenticule direction Y. First, swath 110 is printed and then swath 111 and so on till the whole of print 101 is completed. The scan line produced by printhead 102 extends over an integer number of lenticules. The lenticules on FIG. 12 are shown as not being straight. This can be a result of manufacturing limitations of the lenticules. It is an important aspect of this embodiment that the printing is triggered by a signal derived every time the beam crosses into a new lenticule so as to correct for this deviations from straightness of the lenticules.
This process is explained in more detail by referring to FIG. 13. Beam 2004 is shown as it crosses into lenticule 2003 a. At that position, some of the beam power, goes through the lenticule and focusing lens 2010 and impinges on position detector 2007, which is placed at the back focal plane of lens 2010. Detector 2007 derives a signal, which is used to trigger the printing over lenticule 2003 a. It is obvious that a separate beam can be used for the generation of the "lenticule start signal" other than the writing beam itself. The other beam can be of a different wavelength but it has to be deflected by the same deflector, which deflects the writing beam.
By using the "lenticule start" signal from detector 2007, the deviations from straightness of the lenticules will not effect the quality of the print since the image position is kept in registration with the lenticules. The idea of scanning the beam across the lenticules has been disclosed by Telfer in U.S. Pat. No. 5,681,676. However, in swaths as per the present invention is not found in the prior art.
Scanning of a shorter swaths 2000, 2000 a, rather than the entire width of the media, allows printing of very large prints, which would be impossible with a system using a long scan line. As an example consider the printing of a 40 inch by 30 inch print with the lenticules extending along the short dimension. The print time is specified as 5 minutes. Assuming 50 lenticules/inch, the total number of lenticules is 2000. The flying spot polygon based printer covers 80 lenticules. Thus, the number of swaths to cover the whole print is 2000/80=25 swaths. Assuming we have 30 multiplexed images. Therefore, the total number of pixels along the scan line is 80�30=2400. This total number of resolvable spots is very easily achievable with flying spot laser prints. Assuming that the required resolution in the y direction is 100 dots/inch. This means that the pitch between the scan lines is 25.4 microns, or 0.001 inch. From this we can calculate that we have 3000 lines in a swath. With a 10-facet polygon, the polygon will rotate at 1667 RPM. These printer specifications are easily achievable. Since the image information is already segmented by the lenticules, this particular mode of scanning across the lenticules, does not necessitate further segmentation of the image since an integer number of lenticules is covered by the scan line.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the scope of the invention. For example, the media may be supported on the interior or exterior of a drum for printing.

Forecasted: CA Technologies launches largest ad campaign in company history
Subject: B2B, print, social media, digital, online, mobile
Company: taking it off the Fortune 500 list
Opportunity: We've forecasted a major marketing revamp here since May 2013 (research launched its largest ad campaign ever to increase awareness of its services beyond mainframe/infrastructure management. Mobile and social are two key parts of the campaign because they allow CA to better engage customers and software buyers directly, an area where it has lagged in the past, so continue to focus your approaches there. This is just the beginning for CA's new marketing approach. Given how much they've increased spend already, I wouldn't be surprised to see higher traditional and online media allocations in the future.
Additional Insight
New Campaign: The campaign, called "Business, Rewritten by Software," was created by John McNeil Studio, Berkeley, Calif., and Swirl, San Francisco. The goal of the global B2B campaign is to better position CA's core capabilities and how the company has evolved its services over the years to assist with customers' current challenges. Utilizing print, online, outdoor and mobile, it targets C-level executives, software buyers and key influencers across the paid and earned media landscape.
Helping on the corporate PR front are recently hired (research reportedly to build a global strategy in partnership with marketing that promotes CA's innovation, technology-focused brand and the company's broad portfolio of solutions that serve specific needs. Phase Two will be the execution of this program, so continue to look for new experiential and media revenue opportunities.
Marketing Priorities: CA's struggles (FY 14) come partly from product/service awareness issues that stem from years of relatively low marketing spend (not anymore) and inconsistent messaging. Adding to this challenge is CA's shift away from the stagnant mainframe solutions business that makes up the majority of its revenues. CA's focus going forward is on faster growing IT management, cloud management and application development management segments, but sales in these growth businesses have been slow out of the gate. Hence, the new global campaign.
Background: The seeds of this campaign were planted in January 2013 with the hire of CEO Michael Gregoire (research here), who has expanded marketing spend/staff and made reversing low market awareness of CA's full scope of services a huge priority. CA's marketing spend skyrocketed to $38 million in fiscal 2014 ended March, up from $10 million in FY 2013 and $13 million in FY 2012.
Besides paid media, Gregoire said last year that better understanding digital and marketing automation will be a big part of CA's marketing increase, noting that an "evolutionary" approach is needed without disrupting customers. He cited inconsistent messaging and even acknowledged that there are thousands of customers generating between $300 million and $2 billion in revenue that CA does not deal with well because it lacks sales professionals who can hunt those particular segments.
Recently Appointed Marketing Decision Makers: Soon after his arrival, Gregoire hired CMO Lauren Flaherty in August 2013 (research here), also from Juniper.

A British man who plotted to shoe-bomb a plane for al-Qaida will on Monday begin a series of appearances as a star witness for the US government, testifying from London against Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and propagandist.
Saajid Badat, who became a valuable turncoat after being jailed in 2005, is due to be beamed via video link into the Manhattan courtroom a few blocks from Ground Zero where Suleiman Abu Ghaith is on trial for conspiring to kill Americans and giving support to the jihadist network.
Amid complaints from defence lawyers that his testimony cannot be trusted because it helped buy his early release from prison, Badat is also being lined up to give evidence in the New York trial of Abu Hamza, the radical cleric deported from London, and in the sentencing of Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan, Britons who pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in Connecticut.
Badat, 35, who was raised in Gloucester, is appearing by video because he faces criminal charges in Boston if he enters the US. He may also be called to testify in the military tribunal at Guantánamo Bay of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-professed mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the US.
US prosecutors plan on Monday to use Badat's confession that he and fellow Briton Richard Reid conspired to bring down passenger jets with shoe bombs late in 2001 as evidence that statements by Abu Ghaith after September 11 that "the storm of airplanes will not stop" related to specific plots.
"After you hear his testimony, and compare it to the defendant's 'storm of airplanes' warning, you will know that the defendant was not making empty threats," assistant US attorney Nicholas Lewin told the jury in his opening statement last week. "He was deadly serious."
Abu Ghaith appeared with Bin Laden in video clips soon after September 11 and is accused of using "the murderous power of his words" to help recruit new jihadists. He is married to Bin Laden's eldest daughter, Fatima, one of nearly two dozen children said to have been fathered by the al-Qaida leader before he was killed in a raid by US navy Seals in Pakistan in 2011.
Badat is expected to testify about his training in "urban warfare" in spring 2001 at an al-Qaida camp in Afghanistan, where Abu Ghaith delivered a speech later that year. He has said he took part in firearms training in which students shot at balloons labelled "Blair", "Clinton" and "Sharon".
He told authorities after his arrest in Lancashire in 2003 that he backed out of the shoe-bombing plot after booking a flight to Amsterdam, from where he had planned to fly to the US. Reid tried unsuccessfully to detonate his explosives on a flight to Miami in December 2001. Now notorious as "the shoe bomber", he is serving a life sentence in a US supermax jail.
Badat received a 13-year sentence at the Old Bailey in 2005 but was released after six years, after agreeing to assist terrorism prosecutions in Britain and the US. In 2012 it emerged in separate court proceedings in New York that he had been given public funds by the British government for rehousing, education, his mobile phone bill and other costs.
He told the court in 2012 that after receiving funding for office space and training he had found a job, but did not elaborate. Further details of his present-day life may emerge on Monday under questioning from prosecutors and Abu Ghaith's lawyers, who have flown in from New York.
Stanley Cohen, Abu Ghaith's lead attorney, mocked Badat during his own opening statement last week as an overhyped "supergrass". He described Badat as "the real terrorist" and suggested his testimony was questionable because it was linked to his early release.
"They sit around and talk, and he gives them what they want," Cohen said of Badat and western law-enforcement authorities. "But the one thing he doesn't do is put Suleiman Abu Ghaith at the centre of a shoe-bombing plot.
"The interesting thing is, this supergrass, he takes training in bomb-making, he takes training in poison-making, he is one of their key underground people. But when asked 10 years ago, 'Who is Suleiman Abu Ghaith?' you don't hear a word. He says, 'I don't know.' At one point, he says the name rings a bell."
Cohen told the Guardian on Sunday that after hearing Badat's testimony "not a person in that courtroom will believe anything the guy says".
"This is a man who tried to become a mass-murderer," said Cohen. "He is under indictment in the US and would face a life sentence. Yet there has been no attempt to extradite him and he only served six years. He got a pretty good deal."
Badat is expected to tell the court in the Connecticut trial of Ahmad and Ahsan that Ahmad was the person who sent him to Afghanistan to train for jihad, and to tell Abu Hamza's trial in New York that he trained at the camp alongside a "lieutenant" sent by the radical cleric formerly of the Finsbury Park mosque.
Lawyers for Ahmad and Ahsan argued to the judge in Connecticut last week that if Badat could not be forced to testify in person, they and their clients should be present in the room while he is questioned.
"Of all the possible witnesses from whom the government could seek to elicit testimony, the witness has perhaps the greatest incentive to lie and the greatest need for effective confrontation," the lawyers wrote in a court filing. "The benefits he is receiving for his cooperation are vast."
US prosecutors previously said Badat was personally instructed for his shoe-bomb plot by Bin Laden and Mohammed. Badat may also be called to testify at Mohammed's ongoing tribunal at the US naval base in Cuba.
He also said during the 2012 proceedings, which related to the trial of Adis Medunjanin, a Bosnian-born American accused of plotting to bomb the New York subway system, that he had planned previously undisclosed attacks against Jewish targets in South Africa for al-Qaida.

1995 GL1500 Panasonic AM/FM Cassette
We have 2 GL1500 (1992&1995) and the sound system on the 1995 is starting to fade sometimes. All the speakers on both wings have been replaced with the speakers that were made for them. The connections have been checked and no problems found. Trying to find a service center that will work on the radio, cassette but everyone inquired with gets that deer caught in the headlights look on their face. I am located in the Houston, TX area, if anyone knows of a someone that does work on them I would appreciate the information. My knowledge about working on radios is to leave them alone.

Hi MGMAN,
You could try downloading the free manual on the panasonic radio from the manuals section. This will help you locate the relay.
good luck,

Re: 1995 GL1500 Panasonic AM/FM Cassette
The Panasonic RM-1500 radio started to malfunction just before I took off for my 5,000 mile trip last August, and the prospect of not having a music during that trip really put a damper on my excitement lolll Not being able to find the problem, I just pulled it right out, and installed a high-quality AM/FM/CD unit in the hole...depite the fact that I was loosing a few features from the RM-1500 (AVL, Intercom, CB...all things I did not really need), it fit beautifully in the hole (of course, with a nice brace system so as to allow to hide it with the plastic cover on when the bike sleeps)...so I upgraded further with high-quality 4" speakers front and back, a Pyramid 300watts eq/amp in the trunk, and to get some real good bass I installed two 5" subwoofers in the back panel (just below the passenger backrest)...I'm soooo satisfied with that awesome sound that I,ll never ever ever go back to any integrated radio...I highly recommend it to everyone...if you appreciate nice, rich, loud sound!

We were so warmly welcomed and delighted with the careful and exquisite attention to the details that make a rental very special. We appreciated all the Kathi did for us and the beauty of her home and surrounding property. We are coming back for certain.
Our hostess, Kathi, was an absolute dream! She thought of every imaginable need of a traveler staying in the guest cottage. It was supremely clean/well maintained, comfortable, roomy, organized, decorated with an artistic eye, and had a feeling of staying with family or your best friend (maybe better!). We arrived at the location and were warmly greeted by Kathi and her impressive flower garden (of which we had a beautiful arrangement on the kitchen bar of the apartment). She immediately showed us to our quest quarters, gave us a tour, explained any pertinent information and asked, as well as answered, questions we had. There was a prepared three ring binder with all kinds of information of local sites, things to not miss, menus for various restaurants, tours, etc. She also had map books for Maine. It was tremendously helpful to us and planning our days. If you like to cook, there is everything at your fingertips if you wish to prepare meals during your stay - a very well stocked (dishes, glassware, silverware, pots, pans, spices, and more!) kitchen. There are grocery sacks, a picnic basket, an insulated bag (we used this quite a bit!) and so much more. There were chairs for the beach, bikes we could ride, a lovely screened gazebo to enjoy, a bbq grill if we desired. We also received notes from Kathi on places she'd think of after chatting with us that we might enjoy and we took her recommendation on a number of things. We also found this to be a great location as a jumping off point to seeing a good portion of Southern Maine (loved our morning walks on the nearby beach too!). If you are a person who has any physical challenges (difficulty with stairs) this might not be the ideal location for you as you do climb stairs upon entry and exit. We loved our stay, our hosts, their sweet dog, the quiet surrounds, and the experience as a whole. We would certainly recommend staying here to anyone who is coming to the Biddeford area.
This property was everything and more than was advertised. Kathy was helpful, accommodating and friendly. My 6 year old daughter fell in love with their dog, and she went out of her way to allow my daughter to pet and play with him. The fresh fruits and vegetables were a huge added bonus. We loved eating a few freshly picked blueberries everyday. The location was ideal for our laid back mother/daughter trip. The area is beautiful. I highly recommend this property. We had a fabulous time.
My husband and I stayed for three nights in July, and were happy with the accommodations. The apartment is well-stocked and spacious enough for 2. Kathi is helpful and friendly without interfering. Oh, and the air conditioning was much appreciated!
I have nothing but great things to say about our stay ! Location, cleanness , beautiful . Owner was so kind and thoughtful. If you ever vacation in Maine , you're missing out if you don't book this place . That's all folks !!
My girlfriend and I wanted to get away for the 4th of July to a place that wouldn't be overly crowed, and Kathi's place turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed. When we first arrived Kathi showed us the best ways to access the beaches and gave some pointers on where to eat. All of her advice came in handy. There was enough to keep you busy in town, and it is also a quick drive north to Portland and south to Kennebunk. I would highly recommend this rental- we had a great, relaxing weekend in Biddeford.

Defense and aerospace stocks extended an early rally in premarket trade Monday, after Saudia Arabia and other Gulf states signed arms deals worth $350 billion with the U.S. over the weekend. President Donald Trump and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia signed some of the deals during Trump's visit to Riyadh on Saturday. "The package of defense equipment and services supports the long term security of Saudi Arabia and the entire Gulf region in particular in the face of malign Iranian influence and Iranian-related threats, which exists on Saudi Arabia's borders on all sides," U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters, The Wall Street Journal reported. Lockheed Martin Corp. shares jumped 3.1%, Raytheon Corp. climbed 3.4% and Boeing Co. was up 1.9%. General Dynamics Corp. was up 1.8% and Northrop Grumman Corp. rose 2%.
U.S. stocks are mixed early Thursday, treading water after a Federal Reserve policy statement that signaled a generally positive view of the U.S. economy. Against this backdrop, each major U.S. benchmark has maintained first support, and remains within striking distance of record territory.
Lockheed Martin Corp. said Tuesday it booked almost $200 million in charges on two Middle East contracts in a move that highlights the potential pitfalls of the overseas deals that have been driving growth for U.S. defense contractors.
Lockheed Martin Corp. lowered its full-year profit expectations Tuesday, as the company's latest quarterly earnings and sales fell short of guidance. Shares slipped 3% to $268 in premarket trading. As the world's largest defense company by sales, and the first to report this quarter, Lockheed Martin is considered an industry bellwether.
The largest U.S. defense companies report first-quarter earnings this week. Here are some things to look for. Lockheed Kicks Off Lockheed Martin Corp., the world's largest defense contractor by sales, opens the reporting season before the bell Tuesday and is expected to report a first-quarter profit of $790 million, compared with $794 million a year earlier, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
General Dynamics Corp. said Wednesday that it will increase its quarterly dividend by 10.5% to 84 cents a share from 76 cents a share. The new dividend will be payable May 5 to shareholders of record on April 7. Based on current share prices, the new annual dividend rate implies a dividend yield of 1.74%, compared with the aggregate dividend yield of the S&P 500 of 1.99%. Separately, the defense contractor said it authorized the buyback of 10 million shares. The stock, which climbed 1.5% in afternoon trade, has rallied 9.2% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has gained 9.5%.

Shares of defense and aerospace companies got a nice lift Monday, after President Donald Trump said his first budget will seek a big boost in defense spending. The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF climbed 1.1% toward a record high, with 37 of 39 components trading higher. Trump said he would seek $54 billion in extra spending on defense, to be offset by decreases elsewhere, which he didn't mention. Among the ETF's most heavily weighted components, shares of Boeing Co. rallied 1%, of United Technologies Corp. tacked on 0.4%, of Lockheed Martin Corp. rose 1.5%, of General Dynamics Corp. gained 0.5% and of Raytheon Co. tacked on 1.4%. Of those five stocks, only United Technologies' wasn't trading in record territory. The biggest gainer within the ETF was Triumph Group Inc.'s stock , which shot up 3.4%. The only components not gaining were ManTech Interational Corp. , which was down 0.5%, and TransDigm Group Inc. , which eased less than 0.1%. The sector ETF has now run up 17% since the election while the S&P 500 has rallied 11%.
The arms agreements with Saudi Arabia formally signed by the U.S. over the weekend could help protect domestic jobs in an industry that has culled tens of thousands of workers over the past five years, but also boost employment in the Gulf nation.
Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in Wednesday's session are PepsiCo Inc., Anthem Inc. and Twitter Inc.

Post-Hurricane Outboard Salvage Tips
After the mega-storm and latest Nor'easter, many of us are in the same boat when it comes to engine damage.
November 4, 2012
Hurricane Sandy has left a big portion of the East Coast reeling. Our sympathies go out to those who were hurt by the storm. Aside from the damage to health, homes, and businesses, plenty of boaters are now contemplating sunken and damaged vessels, drowned engines, and insurance claims. Here are two articles to help with recovery, plus a video on how to save an outboard that has been underwater.
Important note: If your engine is still submerged, it may be better to leave it underwater until you've made your preparations -- once it's exposed to air, damage sets in almost immediately.
Recovering from a hurricane is always a long process, but there's a lot to be learned in the aftermath about how to mitigate damage and prepare better for next time. And now that fall is here, spring is just around the corner, right? Best of luck to all.

The 23-year-old yesterday ended months of speculation linking him with a move away from Valencia by penning a five-year deal with the west Londoners.
Mata has been linked with a host of elite European clubs this summer but insists there was no competition when Chelsea made their intentions clear.
"[Villas-Boas] said he wanted Chelsea this season to play more attacking football, and that I would be a big part of that," he said.
"Villas-Boas is someone who won almost everything last year and we are both here with the idea of winning lots this season.
"The plan is that I can play on either flank or even in the middle playing in between the lines of midfield and attack.
"I like to keep the ball and use it well, I am an attacking player and above all I like to set up goals and score them also.
"I want to adapt as quickly as possible to my new surroundings, my colleagues and this league, and I would love to win a trophy in my first season.
"If it can be the Premier League then great."
Mata becomes Villas-Boas' fourth summer signing, following the arrivals of Oriol Romeu, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois.
Mata could make his debut in Saturday's clash with Norwich and moves to Stamford Bridge for a reported fee of £23.5million.
"Right from the first moment there have been good feelings all around me," he said.
"Training has been great and the players are a great group to train with.
"Valencia was a big club anyway but I have left to join a bigger club and it is all about the opportunity to win trophies and I have that here."
Mata becomes the third Spaniard at the Blues, linking up with the aforementioned Romeu and fellow Spain international Fernando Torres.
"Fernando got me excited about the thought of coming here," Mata said.
"He said it would be good for me here and that me and him together could be good.
"I also talked to my family and friends about it as well."
The former Real Madrid winger's father, also named Juan Mata, played professionally for Burgos and Salamanca, leading the player to add: "This is obviously a big thing for me, to have a father who knows football.
"He has always given me good advice and I never had a problem because he was there to help.
"Despite there being football in my family, I always wanted to have skills other than football so I studied while I was in Madrid.
"It wasn't easy but I wanted to do it, and I learned about marketing and sports science."
