Claims. (Cl. 1837) This invention relates to an electrical precipitator and particularly to an electrical precipitator of the two-stage type for the cleaning of air.
Air cleaning precipitators of the two-stage type typically comprise a charging zone wherein particles suspended in the air are ionized by the action of electrical discharges in a high tension electrical field between opposed sets of electrodes at least one set being discharge electrodes, and a precipitating zone wherein the air is subjected to a high tension electrical field between opposed sets of substantially non-discharging electrodes.
It has been found that improved smoothness of operation and efficiency of collection, as well as other important advantages can be obtained by making at least one of the sets of electrodes in at least one of the stages of a semiconductive material of relatively high electrical resistance, such as Portland cementconcrete, Transite board and the like.
Some of the advantages and improvements that are obtained by the construction of the invention are as follows:
When the electrodes of both the charging and precipitating sections are made entirely of metal or high conductance material, any electrical arc-over results in complete deenergization of the whole precipitator, and a ceasing of all precipitating action during the period of arc-over. Also, in the present commercial air cleaning units, the precipitating section is composed of closely spaced parallel plate electrodes. These constitute a condenser of considerable capacity which are charged froma high voltage condenser. On arc-over, both the plate electrodes and the condenser discharge with a loud report which is often as loud as the report from a .32-caliber pistol. Frequently, due to the acoustic properties of the air duct system, this noise is transmitted to the point of air discharge and often magnified in intensity. When part or all of the electrodes are made of high resistance or low conductance materials, an arc-over from a discharge electrode point has no appreciable effect on the flow of corona current from the remaining corona discharge points. In other words, the precipitation voltage and corona current remain substantially the same, and the charging of particles in the gas stream is not interrupted. On arc-overs in the precipitating section, a similar localizing action takes place when the plates are made of low conductance materials and there is no. interruption of the precipitating action. Also, due to the limiting of the amount of energy released at the time of arc-overs, there are no loud reports when these occur.
Due to the limiting efiect on current flow of the resistance of the low conductance materials, a temporary short circuit or heavy back corona discharge of the glow type from a corona point to the opposing electrode is controlled and has no noticeable effect on the applied precipitator voltage, and there is normal corona current flow from each of the other discharge electrode points. As the precipitator voltage and flow of corona current remains substantially normal, normal charging of the suspended particles continues and the efficiency of the precipitating section is not impaired.
A precipitator constructed of metal, used in collecting some types of dust may have a back corona discharge f the intense ionization glow type. This results in highly localized and irregularly spaced corona discharges and also a considerable reduction in the total number of corona discharge points. With such a condition of corona discharge, there is a noticeable reduction in precipitator cf- 2,698,669 Patented Jan. 4, 1955 ficiency. However, when the electrodes are made of semiconductive material, there is an equalizing and ballasting effect of the high resistance in series with each corona discharge point. Furthermore, due to this ballasting action, the corona current from each discharge point cannot become excessive and there is no reduction in the total number or distribution of the corona discharges. Due to the establishment of uniform corona discharges, the gases are uniformly ionized and the suspended particles charged and precipitate In cases where the air is cleaned for re-use, it is necessary to keep the ozone and nitrous oxide contents at a very low value. Tests have shown that a low ozone content is secured in commercial installations by using discharge electrodes made of very fi ne wire, usuall about 5 to 7.5 mills in diameter. y
When wires of this size are used, the points of corona discharge are very small in size and the current flow from each point is very low. This combination of small corona points and low current flow, forms but little ozone, and with normal air fiow, the ozone content will not exceed the permissible amount. With electrodes made of high resistant material, the corona current flow from each corona point is controlled and kept down to a current flow when the amount of ozone formed is very low. As the flow of current from each corona point can be maintained at a low value by the resistance effect of the resistant material, it is feasible to use discharge wires heavier than usual and still maintain a current flow from each pointsulficiently low to insure an ozone formation which is well below the permissible content. The use 'of larger sized wire for the discharge elecmechanical strength.
The principles of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. l is a vertical longitudinal section through an aircleaning precipitator embodying the principles of the invent on;
F g. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Figs. 3a, 3b and 3c are diagrammatic representations of several forms of charging section electrodes, indicating the distribution of lines of corona discharge;
Fig 4 is a partial elevation and Fig. 5 is a plan view of charging section electrode forms;
Fig. 6 IS a partial elevation and Fig. 7 is a plan view of another charging section electrode arrangement; and
Fig. 8 s a fragmentary showing of a modification of precipitating section electrode arrangement with electrode washing means.
In Figs. 1 and 2, 10 is the precipitator shell, provided 'plates 16 of low conductivity such as Transite board,
bearing on their upstream edges a luralit of me metal wires 17 providing discharge points. y P J ctmg The non-discharge electrodes comprise a plurality of semi-conductive pipe sections 18, of Transite", concrete or the like, vertically supported in the shell by I-beams l9 and provided with interior metallic members 20 to control the distribution of corona discharge as hereinafter described.
The precipitating section comprises two sets of alternating electrodes, one set comprising plates 21 of semiconductive material being energized at high potential and the other set comprising plates 22 likewise of semiconductive material being grounded.
The discharge electrode system of the charging section and the forward end of high potential plates 21 of the precipitating section are engaged by metallic U- strips 23 and 24 respectively which are carried by transverse bars 25, the whole being supported by insulating bushing 26 through which the two sets of electrodes are energized by means of conductor 27.
The downstream ends of plates 21 and 22 are engaged by U-strips 28 which are attached to slotted plate 29. Plate 29, which is carried by angle members 30, not only serves as a support for the rear end of the precipitating electrode plates but also acts to maintain uniform gas flow across the cross-section of the precipitator. The forward ends of the plates 22 are supported and spaced by upper bafile and spacer member 31 and lower bafile and spacer member 32.
Rods 33 carrying suitable spacers maintain plates 21 and 22 in spaced relation at their downstream or ground potential ends and rods 34 and associated spacers maintain plates 21 in spaced relation at their upstream or high potential ends.
Gas flowing through the precipitator is directed into the area between the electrodes by suitable battles, including batfie members 31, 32 previously described, and transverse baffies 35 in the charging section and 36 in the precipitating section.
Figs. 3a, 3b and 30 show several different forms of the electrode members 15 of Figs. 1 and 2, the form of Fig. 3a corresponding to that indicated by way of example in Figs. 1 and 2. In these figures, the discharge electrodes are diagrammatically indicated at 17'. In each figure the non-discharge electrodes comprise a tubular member 370, b, c, of semi-conductive material, such as concrete or Transite" and internal metallic members 38a, b, serving to determine the distribution of corona discharge indicated diagrammatically at 39a, b, c. In Figs. and 7 the distribution of corona discharge is indicated diagrammatically at 53 and 53'.
In the charging section electrodes of Figs. 4 and 5, non-discharge electrodes 15 are similar to electrodes 15 of Figs. 1 and 2, the discharge electrodes comprise a fine metallic wire (5 to 7.5 mils) 40 supported at each end by arms 41 and in the center by guide 42, mounted on the leading edge of semi-conductive plate 16'.
Another form of discharge electrode is shown in Figs. 6 and 7 as a thin strip 43 having a fine edge 43a which may be serrated.
Fig. 8 shows an arrangement for washing and oiling the collecting plate electrodes 22 of the charging section. It comprises inverted V screens 50 sloping down from liquid outlets 51 into contact with the upper ends of plates 22.
Although in the illustrative apparatus of Figs. 1 and 2 all of the electrodes of both sections ofthe precipitator are shown as being constructed of or including high resistance material, metal or other readily conducting material may be substituted for the high resistance material in some of the electrodes without departing from the principles of the invention or foregoing its advantages. For example:
In the ionizing or charging section, the discharge electrodes can be made entirely of metal or other high conductance material, and control of corona discharge secured by .the use of resistant materials in the collecting electrodes; or, the discharge electrodes can be made in part of high resistant material and the collecting electrodes of metal or other high conductance materials.
In the collecting or precipitating section the plates 22 which are not connected to the discharge electrode system of the ionizing or charging section, can be made of a metal such as aluminum or other high conductance materials. The use of high conductance material for the plates 22 is the preferred construction in that a washing and oiling system, such as is shown in Fig. 8 can be used to clean these plates. Tests have shown that this is a practical method of cleaning, and observations made over a long period of time have shown that all the precipitate is collected on the surfaces of the plates that are of opposite polarity to that of the corona discharge, and that no precipitate collects on the surface of the plates of the same polarity as that of the corona discharge. Therefore, the only plates that will have to be cleaned are those of opposite polarity to the corona discharge, and which operate at ground potential. The cleaning system shown in Fig. 8 will function satisfactorily in that the screen not only carries all the liquid to the surfaces of the ground plates, but also acts as an umbrella and keeps all liquids from the high potential electrodes 21 formed of resistant material; or, if it is desired to collect the precipitate dry, the plates can be vitiralted or rapped as they operate at ground potential.

I was excited to buy a sturdy jacket for my girlfriend, but returned it due to strange sizing. The arms on the medium were too long, despite the body being the right length. The shoulders were overly spacious, giving a football player look. We decided to look for something that was waterproof. Sorry Carhartt, not this time!
Runs large (but cute!)
Got this for my wife in a small and it was still too big for her (5' 8", 140lbs). If you're looking for a baggier fit, then the Carhartt Sandstone jacket is durable for years of abuse. But if you're looking for slim fit, then probably not right.
It's a carhartt

This was a gift. But I've had my carhartt since high school and it's still kicking. Can't go wrong with a carhartt jacket.

As Sir Alex Ferguson reflected today on how to rejuvenate Manchester United's faltering title dream, the man who helped him achieve exactly that, three years ago, was enthusing about his new life in London.
Defeats to Blackburn and Newcastle have left the Premier League champions three points adrift of Manchester City with Tottenham breathing down their neck.
United were also under intense pressure in April 2009 when they hosted Aston Villa after losing two successive matches, with their other great rivals, Liverpool a point ahead of them at the summit of the table.
Federico Macheda rose to prominence that day by scoring a late-winner after coming on a substitute which regained top spot for his side and propelled them on their way to an 11th Premier League crown.
However, Ferguson will have to find a new hero among his injury-hit squad when they entertain Bolton in nine days' time because Macheda has joined Queens Park Rangers on loan until the end of the season.
After that stellar start, the 20-year-old's career has stalled and he has started only five times in the League since.
Naturally, he keeps a close eye on his parent club and watched in dismay last night as United crashed 3-0 at St James' Park.
Macheda believes Ferguson's men will recover from that blow and hopes that if another super-sub hero emerges at Old Trafford, it could put an end to people questioning him about that goal.
"I saw the game on TV and United at the moment are struggling with injuries so it is not a good moment for them," he said.
"However, they will get back because they have great players, the players to win [the title] and fight. I don't want to talk about Aston Villa any more, I want to talk about other things and the future and that means I want to score more goals.
"I scored five times for United but of course, everyone remembers that one against Villa because it was so important for the team."
Last season, Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley spent season-long loans away from Old Trafford at Sunderland and Wigan respectively.
Both impressed during their spells, convincing Ferguson to place them in the first team for the start of the following season. Naturally, it is a model Macheda is looking to follow.
"I hope to do the same as them because they had a long spell of a year and it worked well," he said."I need to step up now and become a real player. I do not know about my future, my future is not important now, what is important is QPR."
And what is important at QPR at the moment is reversing the slump Neil Warnock's side are in.
Rangers have taken just two points from their last eight League fixtures, leaving them just a point above the relegation zone.
Warnock has promised to be busy during the transfer window as he seeks to turn things around at Loftus Road, and his first signing was quick to play down any hopes his influence alone could galvanize the side in the same manner it did at United three years ago.
His reticence is understandable given that he was unable to prevent Sampdoria from being relegated from Serie A in his native Italy last year as his three starts and 11 substitute appearances made little difference to their plight.
"I'm not the one who is going to change things," said Macheda who made his debut for his new club as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Norwich on Monday.
"I'm here to help the team but I am not God, I'm not going to change the team from one day to another. When I have the chance, I will try my best to help the team, that's it.
"I couldn't help Sampdoria to stay up but the problem was another thing. In Italy everything was different. I didn't play that much then either.
"After this spell I will look at my future. I would like to play in England because Italian football is not the best and there are lots of problems with match fixing.
"They don't believe in young people as they do in England. I think we play in the best league in the world. I've come here to work very hard, and to fight for my place."
Macheda will not be the only new arrival in the transfer window with Rangers linked to a plethora of targets. Chelsea centre-back Alex, who is understood to want to stay in London, and Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha have been mooted in recent days but Warnock dismissed the talk as premature.
"We have a number of people, I won't be commenting on anyone, it's not fair really," he said today. "We are working very hard behind the scenes, before Newcastle [a week on Sunday] we want them in place. You don't know you are going to sign someone until the deal is done.
"A couple of my targets are out of bounds now. We have money but we aren't just going to throw it away stupidly. We need goals, and a couple of other ingredients."
A late winner from the young Italian at St James' Park would be a good start.Reuse content

Travelling with an Allergic Infant:
Advice on travelling with baby milk supplies
Travelling with an infant or child involves a lot of preparation and planning – this can be overwhelming, in addition to thinking about the needs of a food allergic infant or child. There is no one 'rule that covers all', and restrictions on quantity and storage of specialist allergy milk products (including milk alternatives, such as soya milk) will vary from one type of transport carrier to another. Individual carriers may have further detailed information on allowances and restrictions, under the 'family travel' section of their website.
The UK Government website has a dedicated information section on travelling with baby food and milk. It can be accessed under the 'hand luggage' restrictions area of their website, or by following this link https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions/baby-food-and-baby-milk
Note that expressed breast milk, formula milk, cow's milk, other types of milk, sterilised water, juice and baby food are not subject to the 100ml hand luggage restrictions that applies to other liquids, gels, and aerosols – however, this is only true if you are travelling with the baby. In addition, baby milk or food does not need to fit into a transparent bag, but will need to be available for inspection by security staff if requested. A concept of a 'reasonable quantity' is mentioned on many of the transport carrier's websites with no formal guidance, and will be at the discretion of the security screening officer at customs.
Hand luggage allowances will vary from carrier to carrier, with some airlines allocating a luggage allowance to the infant or child and others not. Have your baby milk and food in its chosen form (powder, carton, bottle, or jar) available, as you may be required to present it for airport screening. Depending on the country you are departing from and arriving into, airport security may ask you to open the containers and taste the contents. If you do not have enough hand luggage to accommodate your babies feeding requirements, it is advisable to speak to the carrier in advance of your travel date. You can request an extension to your hand luggage allowance to ensure you are well prepared, and your baby's nutritional requirements are met, especially if travelling long haul. Do not rely on the carrier having a supply of baby milk, as this is unlikely to be appropriate for you child if they have a milk allergy.
Additional milk and feeding supplies can be carried in your checked baggage. It is good practice to share these supplies between your packed cases, just in case your luggage is delayed, lost or stolen.
When planning for your baby's feeding requirements, take into account the travel time to/from the airport, the total amount of time you are away for, and possible delays.
Infant milk, and the availability of specialist milk formulas, food varieties and brands may vary between the UK and the destination country. Do not assume your required brand will be readily available. If visiting family or friends, they may be able to research your required milk brand beforehand. Otherwise you will need to plan for this when buying and transporting your baby's milk supply.
Travel Tips:
Ensure you have enough formula feed and food to cover unexpected delays and stop-overs. Liaise with your GP or Healthcare Professional well in advance to ensure sufficient supplies are available, especially if this needs to be prescribed and then collected from a pharmacy.
Plan ahead by researching the carrier/airline's individual guidance on baby milk and food, and make the appropriate adjustments to adhere to ensure you are well prepared.
Larger chemists at UK airports may offer a pre-order service for baby milk, which can be collected on passing through security. This may be dependent on airport size so it is advisable to check and order where possible in advance.
To reduce the risk of infection, it is best to make up feeds one at a time as your baby needs them. If your baby doesn't finish a bottle, don't be tempted to put it away for later. Germs can breed quickly in left-over milk. This may cause an upset tummy - the last thing you need at the start of your holiday!

Though hailed as an ambitious project, 'Air Kerala' seems to be a far cry from reality. The experts say that the viability of the project is still in doubt.
The increasing fuel price, crisis in the aviation sector in the country and the absence of business class passengers in the state are the major factors which can effect the financial viability of the project.
Paulose K Mathew, chairman, Travel Agents' Federation of India - Kerala, said that keeping in view that the 70 per cent of the pa ssengers to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from India are from Kerala, the concept 'Air Kerala' becomes a prerequisite for the state. But whether the project is viable or not is something which has to be discussed in detail.
Almost 60 per cent of the operational expense in the airline sector is of fuel. Since the fuel prices keep on increasing, a newly-formed company will require huge chunk of money to operate. It is doubtful that the state and the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) can meet this challenge," he said.

Criminal Justice Program
We provide domestic violence and sexual assault violence advocacy assistance to victims of crime.
Beacon of Hope Crisis Center has formulated partnership programs with Speedway, Lawrence, Southport, Beech Grove and Greenwood police departments. Beacon of Hope victim advocates work with law enforcement to follow up on purple sheet cases and when needed will arrive in partnership ready to assist victims during domestic violence calls. This program is breaking the cycle of abuse and educates victims about all of the resources available to assist them with leaving the situation and achieving freedom from the grip of domestic violence.
Click to learn more about our sexual assault advocacy services or download this printable PDF.
Overview and History of our Police Department Project Partnerships:
Our victim advocates initially worked with local law enforcement on Baker One domestic violence calls. Now our victim advocates are called for all types and levels of domestic violence related calls. Baker One is a model program that addresses domestic violence homicide and serious assault by objectively identifying high risk domestic violence victims and perpetrators with repeated police runs and offering early intervention to both the victim and the abuser.
In Indianapolis, police jurisdictions receive special officer training regarding Baker One, domestic violence, strangulation and other training topics as they arise. Each police jurisdiction uses the IMPD Baker One manual that has been approved by IMPD professional standards. Per this manual, each jurisdiction can identify up to 25 Baker One candidates. In addition, IMPD maintains a database to capture all Baker One data, thus streamlining data collection and allowing the jurisdictions to be better able to collaborate on cases as domestic violence couples are often transient.
In addition to IMPD, Baker One has been embedded into the prosecutor's office, community corrections, parole, probation, and other criminal justice response systems by changing protocol for response to domestic violence.
Once identified as a Baker One case, a uniformed officer will approach the suspect, offering a resource card and encouraging the suspect to seek services for change.
Victim safety and outreach is also an integral component of Baker One. Special intervention and attention will be given to the victims identified as Baker One. The Victim Advocate will respond to Baker One police reports either in person, by phone, or letter to offer the victim services, safety panning, and address other needs that they may have.
Since its implementation, Indianapolis police districts have seen great success in the Baker One collaborative program.
In May 2013, the Domestic Violence Network, Speedway Police Department, and the Julian Center approached Beacon of Hope to discuss a collaborative project that would implement Baker One in Speedway. Currently, the Julian Center administers the Baker One project for IMPD; however, they are at capacity for serving other policing jurisdictions.
Under this project, Beacon of Hope will collaborate with the Speedway Police Department to provide advocacy services to Baker One-identified victims and the Domestic Violence Network will provide Baker One technical assistance, resources, and training to the officers and victim advocates. IMPD has agreed to share their Baker One database information with the Speedway Police Department officers and Beacon of Hope's victim advocates.
The Speedway Baker One Project launched in 2013.

Saving your CSS changes in the Google Chrome inspector
22 June 2012 • Source on GitHub • Share on Twitter
In the process of rapid prototyping and trying out new CSS styles I often find myself making changes to styles within the inspector in Google Chrome. This works quite well, but I've always had a process like the following:
- Try some CSS changes in the inspector
- Copy the new CSS styles (or even type them!) in to my local stylesheet
- Refresh the page, or open the page in a new tab and compare the CSS styles
- Repeat until correct
Today I realised that the inspector in Google Chrome saves states of your CSS edits as you make them, so you can revert to an earlier state, and even export the modified stylesheet from a given state.
It turns out this has been available in Webkit for nearly 18 months! You can read some more information about it over on Surfin' Safari or check out my primer below.
A quick primer on how to export CSS changes from the inspector
Make your changes
Click the 'Sources' tab in the inspector
Find the CSS file that you made changes to (notice it now has an asterisk next to it)
Right click in the file, and choose "Local modifications…" You can now see a list of the changes you've made
Right click in the file again, and choose "Save as…"

Venezuela is in the midst of a violent protest movement that has resulted in at least nine deaths this month as the country's deeply unpopular socialist administration struggles to stay in power and a newly energized opposition calls for an immediate presidential election.
The protests began three weeks ago after the Supreme Court issued a decision stripping the opposition-controlled congress of its last remaining powers. President Nicolas Maduro later asked the court to walk back that move amid a storm of international criticism. But the attempt to take over congress unleashed long-simmering anger amid an economic crisis that has a majority of Venezuelans skipping meals and even losing weight.

Honestly, I hate myself alot of the time and I don't know how to stop it... (self.faimprovement)
submitted 4 years ago by YessingtoHard
It comes and goes, but when it comes back its difficult to deal with...25 years old and I feel like im always the one on the outside with my friends like im just allowed to tag along out of niceness or some sort of misguided sense of charity...Ive voiced this concern with one of my better friends and he says its stupid b/c they wouldn't invite me out otherwise if they didn't like me. They are guys I guess though so they will talk shit but especially when im in a down mood it gets hard to take it that way as a joke. I know I have been diagnosed with major depression before but I hate feeling "weak" so ive been trying to ignore it and fight it on my own. It feels so bad sometimes and I can make it go away for awhile through distraction or exercise but I just look back on my life and it feels like a big void sometimes, like there is just nothing there. Its all been a history of trying to get over my issues obsessively and never really finding the key to get out. I get so fucking jealous and angry at the other people out there, normal lives and good friends...not feeling insecure or depressed or anxious or scared every bloody second. They always seem to have these awesome stories or good memories that I just don't have. I was diagnosed with slight aspergers around 10 or so, always fighted/denied it. It made me very depressed dealing with all the social rejection when I was younger and I became a MAJOR shut-in.
Its left me with scars and a huge feeling of needing to prove myself and make up for lost time...all I care about is proving to them that I am not a loser anymore...but it seems like no matter what I try or do socially I always mis-step somehow socially in unseen ways and I NEVER get feedback on what I do wrong so I have no fucking clue how to get better.
But I want to prove them all wrong, I want to be the one with power for once...the one that they are jealous of...petty? yeah, but im tired of it. I know that most people out there only care about themselves so what gives? I want mine...
and really I find it annoying that my mom always had to hammer home the point that they just don't see how "special" you are or how "nice" you are. Fuck, wish she would have been bloody honest instead of sugar coating every goddamn thing it made me weak. People are attracted to abundance, repelled by scarcity...if you aren't funny, cool, outgoing, relaxed, happy they could give a flying fuck about you beyond a passing socially constructed nicety platitude. Of all the facts I know about human nature, this is the one that saddens me the most...pure disillusionment the world is alot colder and harsher then they let on.
So ive been trying to crawl out, I actually feel really good sometimes and things seem to look up for a while but then it turns to shit again. I don't like the idea of trying to get help again because I want to be strong more than anything.

Quit comparing yourself to other people. It does you no good. Don't worry about how other people's lives are; just take care of your own for now.
Guys tend to talk shit with each other. It's a bonding thing. If you're invited to hang with them, you're OK in their book. If you weren't welcome, you'd know it.
There's nothing weak about asking for help. Even powerlifters use spotters. Therapy can help you get the tools to be strong.
And yeah, people appreciate other people for what they bring to the table. It's how society works. You should read this great article to get a good insight into why that is.
