This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 07/853,364 filed on Mar. 18, 1992 abandoned.
This invention relates in general to power supplies and battery charging systems and, more particularly, to a battery charging system for portable electronic devices or electrically powered devices that can function as a universal power source for powering the portable device, charging the batteries, or both.
Portable electronic devices such as, for example, personal computers of the notebook, laptop, palmtop, or pen-based type, digital oscilloscopes, communications analyzers, surveying equipment, etc., usually have complex power supply requirements. For example, a portable computer typically drives a large display, a microprocessor, and a disk drive such as a floppy disk or hard drive, or both. Early "luggable" personal computers (PCs), used displays that were small cathode ray tubes (CRT) with floppy drives. Their power requirements were about 75 to 100 watts and required connection to a wall socket in order to meet such power requirements. Later, more portable computers, such as laptops, emerged. These newer systems eliminated CRTs and replaced them with low-power liquid crystal displays (LCDs); additionally, smaller disk drives requiring less space and power replaced the earlier larger drives. These newer systems reduced their power requirements sufficiently to enable them to operate on rechargeable batteries.
Generally, as shown in FIG. 1A, a portable computer 1 uses a power supply that includes an AC adapter 2 (an external AC/DC switcher), some form of limited current 3 to trickle charge the battery, steering diodes 4 to isolate the battery 5 from the raw supply voltage and an internal DC/DC converter 6. The DC/DC converter operates from either the power external supply or 6 to 10 internal nickel/cadmium (NiCad) batteries, which supply power for about one to two hours. This tends to restrict charging to trickle charge currents and wastes power in the steering diodes, reducing battery discharge time.
To charge the battery rapidly, careful attention must be paid to the level of charge to prevent overcharging the battery. A common method to detect full charge is known as "negative delta V" (-ΔV). This method detects the small negative change in voltage across the NiCad cell as it becomes fully charged. To prevent voltage fluctuations across the battery that could lead to false detection, the rapid charge current must be held constant and cannot be a function of the computer load current; or, the battery must be disconnected from the charger while measuring -ΔV as is done in the example shown in FIG. 1B.
A known power supply 10 is shown in FIG 1B. Power supply 10 includes an AC adaptor 12, which has a wide range AC input and is capable of providing 35 Watts (W) of DC output to the device and batteries 16. While charging, a current control maintains constant current to the combination of battery 16 and a DC-DC converter 14. In this manner, as more current is drawn by DC-DC converter 14, less current is supplied to charge the battery. Four wires, +VA, +VS, -VA and -VS connect AC adaptor 12 to the DC-DC converter 14 and batteries 16. The power converter topology includes a two-field-effect-transistor (FET) forward converter 18 with both a current control and a maximum voltage control. AC adaptor 12 uses a -ΔV battery charging technique controlled by an internal processor 20. Power for DC-DC convertor 14 and battery charging is transferred over the +VA and -VA leads. Negative ΔV it measured across leads +VS and -VS. To prevent false readings, a FET switch in the negative lead of the battery is turned off while -ΔV is being measured. AC adaptor 12 reverts to a constant maximum voltage control when the battery becomes fully charged and is removed from the charging circuit by turning off the FET switch, or by physically removing the battery. To protect against over-charging the battery, AC adaptor 12 uses a battery-charge timer and a charge detector. The power-conversion circuits for the DC outputs are FET buck and boost converters operating at about 50 kilohertz (kHz). Because of the range of battery voltage while charging and discharging, DC-DC converter 14 is required to operate over a 2:1 voltage range. Typically, digital logic and analog application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are used to minimize circuit space normally required for status and control signals.
This type of system, however, restricts rapid charging to periods when the computer is not being used and requires that the power supply/charging system be specifically designed for each battery/computer combination. Further, it is necessary to pulse the battery charging current off while -ΔV measurements are being made.
Accordingly, what is needed is an improved power supply-battery charging system for portable electronic devices that is more efficient, thereby optimizing battery discharge time. In addition, what is needed is a system that reduces the need for steering diodes, thereby decreasing the minimum voltage usage necessary to power a device. This improvement should also improve rapid charging in either stand alone use, i.e., without the computer, or in the battery-computer combination during system operation, and should charge various battery types without modification to the charger.
According to the present invention, a novel power charger apparatus is provided for supplying electrical power to an electrical device for operation or to a battery for charging, or to both. The charger apparatus comprises a primary power supply for supplying power from an external power source to the power charger, a power converter coupled to the primary power supply for converting the power received by the primary power supply from the external power source into a form usable by the power charger, and a power controller coupled to the power converter for controlling the power applied to the device or the battery, or both, whereby, regardless of the rate of charge of the battery, a constant current is maintained for charging the battery while the voltage across the device and battery is allowed to vary. The power charger also includes a charge rate sensor connected in series with the battery and coupled to the power controller for determining the state of the charge of the battery by measuring the voltage across the charge rate sensor.
The charge rate sensor comprises a variable resistance value and a voltage detector for measuring the voltage across the resistor while the battery is charging. The variable resistance value allows the battery to either rapid charge, trickle charge, or discharge (power the device). A charge monitor, connected to the battery and coupled to the power controller, monitors the battery during charging and signals the power controller the state of charge on the battery. Based on the monitoring by the charge monitor, the charge monitor and power controller place the battery into either a rapid charge, trickle charge, or power discharge state. The charge monitor uses either a temperature sensing system, a change of voltage sensing (-ΔV) system, or a charge timing system, or any combination of the three.
The power controller uses a signal amplifier, such as an error amplifier, which has a constant signal input and a charge rate input from the charge rate sensor, and a control output, which is based upon the difference between the constant signal input and the charge rate input, to control the current across the battery. To provide a proper pulsewidth to maintain the desired current, the primary power supply uses a pulsewidth invertor responsive to the power controller. The invertor may be, for example, a current mode pulsewidth modulated flyback invertor. Also, a signalling device, for example, an LED coupled to a waveform generator and the power controller, provides a signal representative of the state of operation in which the power charger is operating, i.e. rapid charge, trickle charge, battery discharging, or charger-powered.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the power supply-battery charger according to the present invention;
FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are a schematic diagram of the control and power circuitry of the power supply-battery charger shown in FIG. 2; and
FIGS. 4A and 4B are a schematic illustration of the control circuitry and battery of the battery pack shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a battery charger and power system 100 for use with an electronic device. For example, power system 100 may be adapted to operate a computer 200, such as a portable notebook computer. Connected in parallel with computer 200 is a charging unit or charger 300 and a battery pack 400.
Charger 300 further comprises a primary section 302 and a secondary section 304. Within secondary 304 there are a power rectifier and filter unit 306, a charge sensing and control circuit 308, and a signal control circuit 310. An exemplary embodiment of charger 300 is illustrated in FIG. 3.
Battery pack 400 comprises a battery 402 connected to feedback and control circuitry 404. An exemplary embodiment of battery pack 400 is illustrated in FIG. 4.
Charger 300 is capable either of charging battery pack 400 or operating computer 200, or both simultaneously. If battery pack 400 is not present in the unit, charger 300 powers computer 200. If battery pack 400 is connected to charger 300, which is capable of sensing the presence of battery pack 400, charger 300 begins charging the battery pack while powering computer 200. Upon reaching a full charge, battery pack 400 is switched out of full charge operation and is placed in a trickle charge operation from charger 300. Since both battery pack 400 and computer 200 connect in parallel, with no separate means of current limiting between charger 300 and battery pack 400, charger 300 must monitor current through battery pack 400 and provide adequate voltage that will support the required charging current for battery pack 400. Accordingly, as battery pack 400 charges, the voltage increases across both battery pack 400 and computer 200. To continue powering computer 200 when battery pack 400 is removed, charger 400 must detect the absence of battery pack 400 and operate in a mode of constant voltage measured at an output of charger unit 300.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic drawing of an exemplary embodiment of charger 300. Primary circuit 302 is an AC-DC adapter for converting AC wall current into DC voltage. Primary circuit 302 includes a transformer and a bridge and other circuitry, which are not important for a full understanding of the present invention, and are left for the skilled artisan to implement. On the opposite side of primary circuit 302 is power rectifier and filter circuit 306, which include power outputs P+ and P- for connection to either battery pack 400 or computer 200, or both. Typically, prior charging systems used steering diodes, which would provide protection of the electronic device in case either the battery pack or the charging system failed and supplied too high a voltage or current to an electronic device, which failure could destroy the device. To compensate for the lack of steering diodes, fuse F is added between outputs P+ and P-. In addition, diode D1 is placed between P+ and P- to provide additional protection in the event of over-voltage at P+ due to failure of control circuitry 308A or 308B.
Connected to filter 306 is charge sensing and control circuit 308. Charge sensing and control circuit 308 comprises two parts, control circuitry 308A and control circuitry 308B. Control circuitry 308A is directly connected to power rectifier and filter 306, while control circuitry 308B is directly connected to primary 302. Control circuitry 308A and 308B are coupled together via light emitting diode (LED) 1, which is part of control circuitry 308A, and light transducer LQ 1, which is part of control circuitry 308B. Control circuitry 308B further comprises a pulsewidth invertor 309, which is a current mode pulsewidth modulated flyback invertor. Invertor 309 interacts with primary circuit 302 to set the pulsewidth at a duty cycle that will, when rectified and integrated by filter 306, maintain the desired output voltage or current.
Control circuit 308A includes several connectors such as current sense 312, common sense 314, charge enable 316, and rapid charge 318. Connectors 312, 314, 316, 318, provide connection between charger 300 and battery pack 400. Also connected to control circuitry 308A and to rapid charge connector 318 is signal control circuitry 310. Signal control circuitry 310 comprises an LED 2 connected to a 555 timer square wave generator circuit 320. LED 2 is used to signal the battery charging state to the user.
A description of control circuitry 308A and its operation is now given. A reference circuit 322, having pins 1 to 8 and coupled between P+ and P- and coupled to current sense connector 312, provides a reference voltage equal to about 2.5 volts (V) at its output pin 1. The 2.5 V is divided by R1 and R2 to produce a 200 mV reference voltage at the input of error amplifier 324 at pin 3, which is coupled between reference circuit 322 and filter 306 and includes pins 1 to 5. When battery pack 400 is installed, the voltage between current sense line 312 and common sense line 314 is presented to error amplifier 324, at pin 2 through resistor R3. Both the voltages at error amplifier 324 pins 2 and 3 are measured with respect to reference circuit 322, pin 2, which provides a common ground. If the voltage on current sense line 312 is at a level different from the 200 mV at primary 302 pin 3, the output at pin 1 of error amplifier 324 causes charger 300 to increase or decrease its output accordingly to maintain constant current through battery pack 400 sufficiently enough to impress 200 mV across a current sense resistor in battery pack 400. Error amplifier 324 pin 1 sets a current through LED 1, which current causes LQ 1 to control invertor 309 to provide a proper pulsewidth to maintain the desired current.
When battery pack 400 is removed, a voltage applied to pin 2 of error amplifier 324 is compared to the 200 mV reference voltage at pin 3. This voltage is divided by resistors R4 and R5 from the voltage at wire 326. The voltage at wire 326 is an image of the charger output voltage at P+. With the battery removed, error amplifier 324 pin 1 sets the current in LED 1 to maintain constant voltage to computer 200. The operation of LQ 1 and invertor 309 are the same as above when controlling current. The proper mode (current or voltage) is automatically selected upon removal of the battery by comparing voltage from wire 326, instead of voltage from the battery, to the 200 mV reference.
This dual mode operation allows for a more controlled charger output voltage by eliminating having the charging current regulator in series with the battery. An added advantage is that a single output for both the battery charging and operating voltage for the computer replaces the need for separate outputs for both. Furthermore, this eliminates the need for steering diodes, which otherwise waste power when placed in the path of the battery and the computer and also increase the required operating range for the charger. Moreover, the computer is no longer an integral part of the regulating feedback path; therefore, charger 300 and battery pack 400 can operate independently of computer 200, which means that charger 300 can be used as a stand-alone rapid charger for battery pack 400.
Turning now to the battery, FIG. 4 provides a schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of battery pack 400. In addition to battery 402 and feedback control circuitry 404, battery pack 400 includes connectors for connection to computer 200 and charger unit 300 via connectors P+, P-, 312, 314, 316, and 318. A second type of connector, a Hosiden connector 410 is provided and duplicates the same connections as P+, P1, 312-318 for mounting battery pack 400 directly on charger unit 300 to provide a rapid charge of battery pack 400 only. Connector 410 also allows the battery to be worn on a belt and connected to computer 200 through a cable. Feedback control 404 further comprises charge control circuit 406 and charge monitoring circuit 408.
Monitoring circuit 408 may implement one of several type of charge monitoring devices known in the art. For example, monitoring circuit 408 may use the technique of observing the temperature change within the battery and change charging status based on selected temperature settings. Another technique may observe the -ΔV value to determine charge state. Yet still, the technique of timing the charging state may also be used. Any combination of the above systems may be used for improved accuracy and reliability. The charging states may also include rapid charge, slow charge and trickle charge.
The particular monitoring circuitry used for illustration in FIG. 4 corresponds to that of a temperature sensing system. Monitor circuit 408 includes an ambient temperature sensor 412 and a battery temperature sensor 414. Voltage from both sensors 412 and 414 are compared at rapid charge temperature threshold circuit or comparitor 416. Both temperature sensors 412 and 414 are further coupled to absolute temperature comparitor 418. Monitor circuit 408 is activated when battery pack 400 is connected to charger unit 300 and charger unit 300 is on. Under these conditions, and when charge enable connector 316 is low, transistor Q3 is on. At this point, diode D2 serves as a voltage reference that establishes three offset voltages. Two offset voltages from pins 3 and 2 of diode D2 provide voltage offset for the two temperature sensors 412 and 414, respectively. The third voltage offset provides a reference for absolute temperature comparitor 418. Ambient temperature sensor 412 is offset at an equivalent positive ten degrees Celsius (10� C.) with respect to battery temperature sensor 414. Output pins 2 of ambient sensor 412 and battery temperature sensor 414 are compared at pin inputs 2 and 3, respectively, of comparitor 416. If input 2 becomes greater than input 3 at comparitor 416, pin output 3 of comparitor 416 goes low, causing itself to latch in that state through diode D4. If the output of battery sensor 416 reaches the absolute temperature level set at comparitor 418, the output of comparitor 418 will go low, but will not latch in that state. As the temperature decreases, the output from comparitor 418 will then go high.
If either output of comparitor 416 or comparitor 418 goes low, this causes the battery current to be set at a trickle charge rate. When the battery is in a rapid charging state, a current sense resistor is established comprising R8 in series with the resistance of transistor Q4. When transistor Q4 turns off by either output of comparitor 416 or comparitor 418 going low, the current sense voltage is across resistor R8 in series with R9. The voltage impressed across either of these sense resistors, R8 in series with the resistance of Q4, or R8 in series with R9, is returned to charger 300 as a normal mode voltage measured between current sense line 312 and common sense line 314. This voltage is compared in charger 300 to a reference (see FIG. 3) to maintain the desired constant charging rate.
When a charge is absent from charge enable connector 316, transistor Q3 turns off, disabling the control circuitry 404, and transistor Q5 turns on, which bypasses the sense resistors, to improve operating efficiency while transferring the charge from battery 402 to power computer 200. Transistor Q6, when on, enables rapid charge connector 318 to activate signal control circuitry 310 of charger 300. Furthermore, control circuitry 406 senses the presence of charger unit 300 when transistor Q2 turns on with current through resistor R6 of control circuitry 308A (FIG. 3). The collector current of Q2 is limited by emitter resistor R7 so that if charge enable connector 316 is forced high by computer 200, charger 300 powers down and places battery pack 400 in a mode of supplying current to computer 200. This allows computer 200 to drain battery 402. When a low battery voltage is sensed, computer 200 provides a low battery detection signal by means of battery voltage monitors within the computer, and returns control of Q2 to charger 300 to begin recharging battery 402. This allows the system to condition battery 402 by discharging to the lowest allowable voltage of battery 402, and then begin fully recharging it. This procedure erases the "memory effect," which is a reduced charge storage ability due to repeated incomplete discharge cycles.
Other embodiments of the present invention are apparent from the preceding description. For example, the charger system may replace the AC/DC converter with a DC/DC convertor. Other embodiments of the invention embodying the same or equivalent principals may be used and structural changes may be made as desired by those skilled in the art without departing from the present invention. Accordingly, the described embodiments are in no way intended to limit the scope of the invention except as limited by the following claims.

Original Watercolor, Copyright 2016 Phylogeny Art
"The Earth laughs in flowers."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I was inspired to create this original watercolor by this quote from Emerson for Earth Day 2016.
I had already posted about my personal/business choice to exclusively use 100% post-consumer recycled paper in my Phylogeny Art stationery in a previous blog post.
And in a future post, I'm going to highlight how I've always recycled my packaging products, but how I'm going an extra step this year in creating an unboxing experience for my customers that will stick with my eco-friendly roots.
But on this Earth Day, I hope you're inspired to be kind to our world and to enjoy her in all of her beauty.

All summer long I've been waiting to take Beatrice Kate to see one of the $1 kid's movies that theaters around here put on (I'm sure it's probably a nation-wide thing, I have no idea really). But clearly, we've been quite busy the last few months, so it hadn't happened. Finally, the stars aligned and yesterday we had a hot, humid day and an unplanned, free morning; so we capitalized on the chance to spend the day at the theater.
Right or wrong, girlfriend LOVES to watch movies and television. I can't blame her too much though, because it may be genetic. My absolute favorite thing in the world is to go to the movies. My dad loves it too. It's sort of a family thing, and I was excited to share it with Bea. She had no clue what she was walking into. I tried to explain to her over breakfast what "going to the movies" meant...
Bea: Will we have Family Movie night in the day time?
Me: Sort of. Except instead of the family, it'll just be you and me. And instead of watching a movie on our t.v., we'll go see it on a big screen.
Bea: A big screen?!? How big?
Me: Pretty big. Giant, even.
Bea: Bigger than Mandrake's TV?
Since Mandrake's TV is the Gold Standard for television watching, she couldn't wrap her tiny, preschool mind around the fact that there was a screen larger than that. Once I told her about the popcorn we'd get to eat while we were there, she was the one who was rushing ME out of the house. Ya'll. That never happens. Ever.
But we eventually arrived...

Burraco Tournaments
Finding good Burraco tournaments in which to play can be quite taxing sometimes, but it is worth it when the potential winnings are big. When such a tournament is won, the amount of the winning pot can be 100 times more than the money with which the game was started. And, based on the number of people playing in the tournament, the winning amount just grows.
The majority of online Burraco tournaments revolve around eliminating players, and good preparation techniques are recommended. Online tournaments are held for all variations of the Rummy games, including the two Kalooki's – Kalooki 51 and Kalooki 40! It is not worth driving around looking for casinos offering Burraco tournaments when they can be found online so easily. Playing online is also faster and the only cost to the player is the buy in amount for joining the tournament.
While looking for good Burraco tournaments online pay attention to the ones it may be possible to win – or at least there is a chance of winning. Here it is important to look at the statistics of the tournament and work out one's chances – pay attention to the number of players involved in the tournament, or how many people are wanting to sign up to play in particular online Burraco tournaments. The less people the better – as the more chance there is of one of them making a mistake and being eliminated. As a player aiming to win, lots of stamina is needed and mistakes cannot be made. A 'winning' mental attitude is important.
The really good high stakes Burraco tournaments are usually offered by large well known websites. Make sure that lots of practise in games with real money takes place to build confidence and to get used to the tournament environment. Only play in one Burraco tournament at a time otherwise confusion could win instead of the player! And remember to take a good look at all those discarded cards as they can be the key to winning the game!

The premise of Lee Daniels' The Butler is undeniably fascinating. The movie tells the story of the civil rights movement through the eyes of a White House butler who served seven presidents from Eisenhower all the way up to Reagan. It's too bad then that this beautiful story, despite some very touching and powerful moments, is ultimately wasted in a film that flounders under the weight of its sloppy direction, distracting stunt casting, saccharine script, and laughable contrivances. Instead of being the powerful historical epic it aims to be, this movie is the Forrest Gump of the civil rights movement.
Loosely based on the life of Eugene Allen, an African American man whose 34-year tenure on the White House kitchen staff was subject of a lengthy Washington Post profile, Lee Daniels' The Butler opens in the early 1920s on a cotton plantation in the Jim Crow South. After his mother (Mariah Carey – stunt casting #1) is raped, and father murdered by an insane farmer (Alex Pettyfer – stunt casting #2), young Cecil James is trained to be a house slave by the plantation's kindly matriarch Annabelle (Vanessa Redgrave – stunt casting #3). When he comes of age, Cecil packs his belongings and leaves the house in search of a better life in Washington D.C.
As the years go by, Cecil, now played by Forest Whitaker in a fine performance that is unfortunately characterized by passiveness, marries the feisty Gloria (Oprah Winfrey) and with whom he raises two sons – the rebellious Louis (David Oyelowo) and the straight-laced Charlie (Elijah Kelly). His skills at service more refined, Cecil moves up to better gigs, eventually scoring a job at a ritzy D.C. hotel frequented by Washington politicos. Cecil's quick wit and ability to say the right things are immediately rewarded, and quickly makes the jump to the White House.
It's at this point that the film splits into two narrative threads – going back and forth between them like a rotating time-glass. The first of these, which centers on Cecil's time as a butler, is the self-important, preachy one in which he plays horse whisperer to every President from Eisenhower on, bearing witness and/or seemingly influencing their decisions in regards to many of the most important events in the U.S. civil rights movement.
He's there when Ike (Robin Williams – stunt casting #4) decides to deploy troops to assist the Little Rock Nine; he's in the room when President Kennedy (James Marsden – stunt casting #5) first witnesses the brutality of the race riots on television; he's with Lyndon Johnson (Liev Schreiber – stunt casting #6) when the President contemplates signing the Voting Rights Act; and he sits down for a chat with Nixon (John Cusack – worst casting of the year) on the eve of his resignation. He even plays a part when Reagan and wife Nancy (Alan Rickman & Jane Fonda – both spot-on) ask him for his opinion on apartheid.
Cecil's President whispering is cross-cut with Louis' Gumpian journey through every major event in the civil rights movement. While Oyelowo, a fantastic up-and-coming British actor, is an appealing presence, delivering a grounded and multi-layered performance, the silly, contrived script by Danny Strong undermines his work. For example, Louis is shown to be one of the members of the historic sit-ins. He's also on one of the Freedom Rider buses. Later on, he's a follower of Malcolm X, and then of Martin Luther King. He then goes through a phase of being a Black Panther (afro and all) before running for political office, and finally becoming an apartheid activist. At the rate he was going, I half-expected him to show up in archival footage of the Obama campaign, downing Dr. Peppers the way Forrest Gump did.
To Daniels' credit, the civil disobedience sequences and violent clashes are among the film's most stirring moments. The filmmaker, who has never been one to shy away from heavy-handed imagery and blatant emotional manipulation (see Precious, The Paperboy), convincingly choke-slams viewers into submission with shocking sequences of violence committed on blacks in the turbulent 50s and 60s. There's also a scene in which Whitaker gives a long speech about concentration camps in the United States. This is juxtaposed against shots of slave homes on plantations in Georgia.
Thankfully, Daniels counters the self-righteousness by infusing his trademark campy humor into Cecil's home life. Much of this comes courtesy of Winfrey whose alcoholic, long-suffering Gloria acts as the connecting thread between the dour opposing father-son plots. Winfrey, who hasn't had this juicy of a role since Beloved, dominates the film as the larger-than-life, acid-tongued Gloria – dishing out attitude and love in equal spades. The performance is just enough of a good thing to make you forget she's another one of Daniels' preposterous stunt casting decisions. Aiding Winfrey are Cuba Gooding Jr., Lenny Kravitz, and Terrence Howard who all bring levity to the film in small but pivotal supporting roles. Their lively ensemble work is source of most of the movie's genuinely moving and honest moments. It's unfortunate then that this fine work is sullied by the shameless schmaltz and preachy historical movie tropes that permeates the rest of the movie.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

I found this little creature in the window of our kitchen but despite being temporarily captive it proved a bit difficult to photograph! Once on camera I was able to identify is as an ichneumon fly, Pimpla turionellae. There are two very similar species the other being Pimpla rufipes but the black lower part of the rear legs is, apparently diagnostic of Pimpla turionellae!
As an ichneumon it is destined to lay its eggs in the pupae of a butterfly, it is not over fussy which species. Despite my love of butterflies I felt obliged to let it go by opening the window and then let nature take its course. It seems cruel but it is a hard world out there and the ichneumon has a right to life as well as the butterfly so in the end it will be the battle of the strongest.

Flow Cytometry Core
The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Flow Cytometry Core:
The mission of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Flow Cytometry Core is to provide investigators access to cell sorting and analytical flow cytometry services, as well as training and experimental consultation.
BD FACS Aria IIu
The BD FACS Aria IIu is the original model FACS Aria-I cell sorter that has been upgraded with a FACS Aria II flow cell. It is equipped with 3 lasers: a blue 488nm laser (6 detectors + FSC/SSC), a red 633nm laser (3 detectors), and a violet 405nm laser (4 detectors). The optical configuration allows multi-parameter detection of up to 13 fluorescent parameters and 2 light scatter parameters. The FACS Aria-IIu is capable of sorting through over 50 million cells per hour (dependent on cell type), with up to four populations simultaneously. The populations of interest can be sorted into 0.5 mL/1 mL Eppendorf tubes, 5 mL tubes, or 15 mL conical tubes. Populations can also be sorted directly into multi-well plates, including: 12-well, 24-well, 48-well, 96-well.
Luminex 200
The Luminex 200 is a diagnostic instrument that enables bead-based multiplex analysis of up to 100 analytes simultaneously in a single low-volume (≥ 2 µL) sample. This system utilizes fluorescently labeled microbeads that are conjugated with a specific reagent (eg, antibody, antigen, enzyme substrate, etc.) enable capture and detection of analytes of interest. The Luminex 200 is equipped with 2 lasers: a 635nm classification laser for excitation of fluorescently-labeled microbeads and a 532nm reporter laser for excitation of the analyte signal. The Luminex 200 has a dynamic range typically ≥ 3.5 logs.
Commercially available and custom multiplex kits can be analyzed on the Luminex 200 to quantify protein expression (ie, cytokines, growth factors, phosphoproteins, etc.) in a variety of species (ie, human, mouse, rat, dog, etc.) and samples types (ie, cell culture media, plasma, serum, BALF, etc.). In addition to immunoassays, the platform can be used for enzyme assays, genotyping, gene expression analysis, or assessment of protein-protein interactions.
A handheld magnetic plate washer, microtiter plate shaker, bath sonicator, and vortexer are available in the core to enable multiplex assay performance.
Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Flow Cytometry Core Billing:
- User reserves instrument time on iLabs providing relevant information in the questionnaire and account number(s) to be charged.
- Once the user finishes running samples and appropriately cleans the instrument, run time is logged manually in the User Log.
- At the end of the month, the amount of time reserved on iLabs and the amount of time logged for each reservation will be reviewed. The investigator will be billed for whichever amount of time is greater for each use. The total amount of time used each month is then listed by user and sent to the department for bills at the end of the month.
Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Flow Cytometry Core Policies:
- The BD FACS Aria IIu and Luminex instruments use can be scheduled between normal business hours: Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm.
- Scheduling for assisted cell sorting or Luminex use must be booked at least 48 hours in advance.
- For sorting: A charge for the full scheduled usage time will be incurred if reservations are cancelled less than 48 hours in advance of scheduled instrument use.
- BD FACS Aria IIu: An initial consultation ($64.69/hr) is required prior to a preliminary sort in order to discuss experimental design, required samples/controls, and best accommodate the investigator's and operator's needs.
- Luminex 200: An initial one-time training session fee ($97.05) is required prior to the 1st use of the Luminex system.
- For analytical use of the BD FACS Aria IIu: A charge for the full scheduled usage time will be incurred if reservations are cancelled less than 24 hours in advance of scheduled instrument use.
- No charges will be applied for cancelled time, regardless of when it was cancelled, if another user schedules that time.
- If you are more than 20 minutes late and have not provided advanced notification, the core reserves the right to cancel your sort and bill you for the reserved time.
- For unassisted use of instrumentation, shifting your time on day of use is acceptable at no charge as long as you will not overlap another user's scheduled time. Please update your scheduled time on iLabs prior to using instrumentation.
- For assisted use of instrumentation, including sorts, any shift in time of instrumentation use will result in billing according to the scheduled time, plus any additional time incurred.
- In the event the instrument you are scheduled to use is non-operational, the core will notify you as soon as possible.
- If your actual run time exceeds your scheduled time and runs into another user's time, the subsequent user has the right to bump you to begin their run at the scheduled time.
- Follow all posted cleaning guidelines that are available in associated instrument SOPs or posted by the instrument.
Instrument use can be booked on iLabs
The Pharmacology and Toxicology Flow Cytometry Core Facility is located in the Life Science Building, Room B431.
Please contact Matt Bernard to setup an initial consultation: firstname.lastname@example.com

The 37-year-old former British Lions captain is a free agent following Crusaders' withdrawal from Super League and is reported to have agreed a 12-month contract with the Warriors, who are expected to appoint Thomas' current club and national coach Iestyn Harris as their assistant for next season.
Both Wigan chairman Ian Lenaghan and Thomas' manager Emanuele Paladino issued "no comment" responses to queries from Press Association Sport, while Warriors coach Michael Maguire, who is returning to Australia at the end of the season, said: "I've no idea about that."
Thomas, who switched codes 18 months ago, is currently sidelined with a broken arm but is hoping to play for Wales in the Four Nations Series.
Lenagan said on Thursday he anticipated an announcement on Maguire's successor to be made before the end of the season. Former Wigan prop Shaun Wane is expected to be promoted from the role of assistant, with Harris taking over as number two.
Meanwhile, winger Josh Charnley has undergone surgery on the finger he broke and dislocated in the first minute of the Challenge Cup final at Wembley and may play in Sunday's penultimate game of the regular season at second-placed Warrington.
Maguire has also not ruled out second-rower Lee Mossop, who dislocated a shoulder in the first half of Wigan's 28-18 win over Leeds but went back on after having it put back in the socket.
"Josh had an operation on his finger and came through pretty well hopefully," said Maguire. "We'll assess Lee at the back end of the week. We'll do a bit of contact work with him on Saturday.
"We're hopeful on both but I'm pretty lucky with the people sitting on the sidelines, with the likes of Gareth Hock, Daz Goulding, Amos Roberts and Chris Tuson.
"I'm looking forward to giving people opportunities. It's another tough decision but we always pick on performance."

Research Institution
AbstractTo meet the performance goals of the next generation of liquid hydrocarbon boost and upper stage rocket engines, the Air Force will require a new family of reliable and reusable igniters. ORBITEC proposes to develop and demonstrate a highly-reliable, non-toxic ignition system designed for use with LOX-hydrocarbon rocket engines, as well as other rocket engine cycle components such as pre-burners or gas generators. This ignition system will be based on a well-documented physical phenomenon known as acoustic resonance. A resonance igniter offers the promise of a reliable ignition system with no power required other than for operating the igniter propellant valves. Except for these valves, the system will have no moving parts or other external components that may be subject to failure. While some previous research activities have demonstrated the viability of a resonance igniter, no one has developed a truly functional system capable of meeting the future needs of the Air Force launch vehicles. ORBITEC proposes to take that critical next step and develop the SYREN acoustic resonance igniter to the point where it is a mature technology for boosters, upper stage engines, and other rocket engine combustion components. This proposal responds to topic AF081-066, which requests innovations in reliable, reusable, and non-toxic ignition systems for booster and upper stage liquid rocket engines.

Modern Warfare 3 Adds Two New Multiplayer Modes
< id='article_intro_ag'>There won't be anymore Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC released, but Activision has two new multiplayer modes for fans to enjoy in the game's latest playlist update (via EGM). 3v3 Hardcore Face-Off and Money in the Denk are the two newcomers, and you should be able to find them now among the list of game modes. The 3v3 Hardcore Face-Off is pretty self-explanatory, dropping six players into the smaller, Face-Off-exclusive maps using Hardcore rules, which dials up bullet damage, eliminates your minimap, and turns on friendly fire. Money in the Denk is a variation on the game's Sabotage mode, created, as the title suggests, by Machinima's Denk. You can see how it works in the video up top.

Weekly giveaways on the way!
Thu, Nov 4, 2010
So, I know I have not posted in a while on my site, almost one year to be exact. I will try and update my site at least once a week. Now, it will be hard for me to update my site every day as was the case earlier last year so at this present time it is just not possible I simply don't have the time, but weekly updates should be feasible. If you have come here from my YouTube channel please make sure the check back at least once a day because I will be posting more content onto this website.
Now, onto the good stuff. The giveaways. All you need to do to win every week is just simply check back every day or, if your desperate, every hour and anytime of any day at random I will deploy a gift card with the code in plain view onto this site. How do you win? Simple, just be the first person to redeem the code once it first gets published there also will be a monthly giveaway to the person who leaves the most comments (not spam, like choose me but proper comments regarding the post). Of course, if the site receives an initial boom, then declines in views the giveaways will be discontinued as there not a sufficient amount of viewers on this site to continue the giveaways but regular posts will continue.
I will try not to neglect this site anymore as it was going very well early last year but now sadly I just don't have the time to update it as frequently however, this site will be the future home for my show notes a.k.a. video notes from my reviews. Whether it be an un-boxing or a review I will try and list the notes on that particular product here. So If you do watch my YouTube videos you'll be able to come onto this site and view the notes for the video like links and other related items to that video. And in regards to my setup videos like I did last year, my new setup video is coming quite soon by the way, this site will contain exclusive photos and media regarding that particular video. So hopefully you'll find the content on my site very useful, you can go back and search all my previous posts from recent years and you may find that useful. Some of the products that I didn't review on my YouTube channel you can find the review for here.

My order was fine. I liked the easiness of purchasing from your website and got the part I needed at a fair price. All in all a very satisfying experience and I will recommend your website to my friends. Thank you.
Nissan Maxima Mirror
Price Quality Average: 4 / 5 starsMy financial dilemma was resolved via Paul Smith at Go-Part.com. My previous order was for a 2dr Coupe vs. the 4-dr sedan, therefore, I am placing a re-order this week. Also, I have not had problems getting Customer Service personnel on the phone which has been a major improvement.by Passion19
Price Quality Average: 4.5 / 5 starsWe searched on line for a replacement part for my truck. We found Go-Part. The site was as described. The parts were well described. The parts were well pictured. The price was EXCELLENT!! Upon talking to a representive from Go-Part I knew we had picked the right place. He was easy to understand, helpful and clear on what the part was and his description matched what was on the site. Very easy transaction. The part was here in 3 days. Would definetly order from them if need be.by DennisBare
