Thunder's Dagger Dojo taught the Bayushi Bushi and Shosuro Ninja schools. [1] It was the only bushi dojo in the Shosuro lands. It was a Bayushi Bushi school located within Nihai Tower. The existence of the dojo also concealed why many Shosuro Ninja were competent with the use of swords. The school took its name as homage to the first Scorpion Thunder, Shosuro. The school developed a unique technique several generations ago and added it to the Bayushi style of fighting, and the only place where could be learned [2] the Thunder's Dagger kata. [3]

Questions about out of town procedures
Doctor Answers 8
Out of town patients
This is a very common situation seen with plastic surgery patients. Traveling for your breast augmentation or any other procedure for that matter can be a very good idea if you cannot find a surgeon you like or want to have operate on you near where you live. As for leaving the day of surgery, not likely ANY plastic surgeon in the US will be ok with this. The day after surgery, is POSSIBLE depending on the procedure and how the surgery went. Stitches can be of the dissolving type and usually are not a problem. Follow-up care after the procedure is usually a concern IF there is a problem/complication after you leave town. Some things to think about when choosing your surgeon and location to have your surgery performed. good luck
Out of town procedures
Traveling after surgery can be done within reason, but there are a few things to consider before making this choice. It is important the surgeon knows how far you live and that the two of you discuss a plan in case something unexpected happens. If your surgeon has a colleague near your hometown that he/she trusts with your follow up care you should arrange that beforehand. Some physicians would prefer that you see only your surgeon for all follow up care and are not available to see you if a complication arises. It's just easier if there is a backup plan in place.

Breast augmentation out of town
That is a great question. We have seen many patients from a distance who come to Boston for their breast augmentation. We would typically see you for a visit a month or more before surgery to discuss your case and perform a sizing appointment. Patients typically stay locally in a hotel the night before surgery. Surgery is performed as an outpatient at our local hospital-you are released an hour or so after surgery but need to be with a responsible adult. You would stay overnight again at a local hotel and we would check you in the office the next day. If all is well you could typically return home and plan to come back to see us around 6 weeks after surgery. The sutures dissolve on their own, but there are sometimes knots or small parts of the suture that gets exposed and needs to be removed at the 6 week mark. As in every case it is important to limit your lifting and activity for 6 weeks after surgery- the majority of problems that occur more than 24 hours after breast augmentation occur from a patient doing too much in the first 6 weeks. Most hematomas (bleeding after surgery) which are relatively rare but require a trip back to the operating room will occur the night of surgery but I have had 3 patients who strained 9-10 days after surgery ( one lifting a 15 lb baby) who developed a "late" hematoma and needed to return to the OR. So if you can follow the rules and "rest your breasts" after surgery for 6 weeks you should do fine. I would of course recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon, wherever you decide to go.

Out of Town Aesthetic Surgery
Hi and thank you for your question. Each surgeon differs in their pre and post-operative instructions, but in general you can go home the day of surgery and follow-up within 1-2 weeks. Most sutures placed during surgery are absorbable, unless your surgeon uses drains. The use of drains may necessitate more visits postoperatively, but otherwise you will need only one to two. Good luck!

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
I can appeal to the Admin Review Board from the ALJ. I assume that they will be unlikely to side with the interp of the 4th circuit if it opposes their own interp. This is why it boggles my mind that ALJ would not abide by their interp. And of course, once I appeal to the ARB and get a decision, I cannot file for de novo review in federal court. Is there anyway to find out if this judge is mistaken without asking him in a motion?

|[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "Partitioning proposal" by BenBrowning
|Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:47:13 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by BenBrowning: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Partitioning_proposal New page: This page is for documenting and discussing the proposed database partitioning support in CouchDB. Most of the features described here don't exist yet. If you'd like to help with implementation please bring it up on the dev@ mailing list. == High-Level Design Goals == * Increase total write throughput by allowing a database to scale across multiple physical machines * Increase total read throughput for multiple concurrent clients when fetching documents by id * Make the partitioned database appear as a single database via the HTTP API, keeping compatibility with existing client implementations * Allow the partition topology to be configurable to support different performance needs == Initial Implementation Thoughts == === Avoid JSON Overhead === Partition nodes should communicate via native Erlang terms instead of doing Erlang -> JSON -> Erlang conversion. This implies an Erlang API for interacting with Couch which doesn't officially exist yet. === Tree Partition Topology === Support a tree partition topology that can be as shallow or deep as the user needs. It should be possible to have a flat tree with only one root and many leaf nodes, a binary tree structure, or any variant in-between. === Consistent Hashing Algorithm === The mapping of IDs to nodes should use a [http://www.spiteful.com/2008/03/17/programmers-toolbox-part-3-consistent-hashing/ Consistent Hashing Algorithm]. What hasn't been decided on fully (I don't think) is if a proxy node just maps IDs to its direct children of if a proxy node knows how to map IDs directly to a leaf node all the way down the tree. With this type of hashing algorithm, adding or removing a storage node just requires moving data around on its neighbors and not the entire system. Also, node failover (which is out of the scope of this document) becomes easier since you know exactly what data needs to be replicated to which servers to maintain a redundant copy of each node and the failed node's load gets spread among the remaining servers instead of just one. === Proxy and Storage Nodes === Allow a node to be a proxy node, a storage node, or both. Storage nodes contain the data and would typically be the leaf nodes of a tree. Proxy nodes combine results from multiple storage nodes before passing them up the tree (or back to the client). The distinction is entirely in configuration and only exists to simplify the mental model. If a node's ID hash points all requests to other nodes, that node is a proxy node. If a node's ID hash points all requests to itself, it is a storage node. If a node's ID hash points some requests to other nodes and some requests to itself, it is both.

The Triune Goddess in the ER
Browsing the web the other day, I discovered that my poem The Triune Goddess in the ER, accepted last spring by Hospital Drive, the literary journal of the University of Virginia Medical School, has already been published there.
I don't think this is my best work, but I'm happy to have it published anyway.
In other writing news, I've finished revising the first hundred pages of the new novel, although I'm sure they'll have to be revised again before publication (and I have no idea when that will be, for those of you who've asked).
I fiddled and wrote every day in November. I hope I can manage close to that in December, although travel will make it difficult.

There's a journal we get at my workplace called "Health Affairs." It is a policy journal, mostly, but there is a section in each issue called "Narrative Matters" which icludes an essay or two. They did a whole issue on narrative and medicine last year. You should think of submitting there.ReplyDelete
Hope all is well,
Thanks, Danielle and Arthur! And Arthur, yes, of course; go right ahead!ReplyDelete

4 ABSTRACT This report is a review of additive/subtractive manufacturing techniques in Europe. Otherwise known as Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF), this approach has resided largely in the prototyping realm, where the methods of producing complex freeform solid objects directly from a computer model without part-specific tooling or knowledge started. But these technologies are evolving steadily and are beginning now to encompass related systems of material addition, subtraction, assembly, and insertion of components made by other processes. Furthermore, these various additive/subtractive processes are starting to evolve into rapid manufacturing techniques for mass-customized products, away from narrowly defined rapid prototyping. Taking this idea far enough down the line, and several years hence, a radical restructuring of manufacturing as we know it could take place. Not only would the time to market be slashed, manufacturing itself would move from a resource base to a knowledge base and from mass production of single use products to mass customized, high value, life cycle products. At the time of the panel s visit, the majority of SFF research and development in Europe was focused on advanced development of existing SFF technologies by improving processing performance, materials, modeling and simulation tools, and design tools to enable the transition from prototyping to manufacturing of end use parts. Specific examples include: laser sintering of powders, direct metal deposition and laser fusion of powders, and ink jet printing techniques. Truly integrated layerby-layer additive/subtractive processes under development are limited; European emphasis was on creating an entire process chain to create new business models.

5 i FOREWORD We have come to know that our ability to survive and grow as a nation to a very large degree depends upon our scientific progress. Moreover, it is not enough simply to keep abreast of the rest of the world in scientific matters. We must maintain our leadership. 1 President Harry Truman spoke those words in 1950, in the aftermath of World War II and in the midst of the Cold War. Indeed, the scientific and engineering leadership of the United States and its allies in the twentieth century played key roles in the successful outcomes of both World War II and the Cold War, sparing the world the twin horrors of fascism and totalitarian communism, and fueling the economic prosperity that followed. Today, as the United States and its allies once again find themselves at war, President Truman s words ring as true as they did a half century ago. The goal set out in the Truman Administration of maintaining leadership in science has remained the policy of the U.S. Government to this day: Dr. John Marburger, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President made remarks to that effect during his confirmation hearings in October The United States needs metrics for measuring its success in meeting this goal of maintaining leadership in science and technology. That is one of the reasons that the National Science Foundation (NSF) and many other agencies of the U.S. Government have supported the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) and its predecessor programs for the past 20 years. While other programs have attempted to measure the international competitiveness of U.S. research by comparing funding amounts, publication statistics, or patent activity, WTEC has been the most significant public domain effort in the U.S. Government to use peer review to evaluate the status of U.S. efforts in comparison to those abroad. Since 1983, WTEC has conducted over 50 such assessments in a wide variety of fields, from advanced computing, to nanoscience and technology, to biotechnology. The results have been extremely useful to NSF and other agencies in evaluating ongoing research programs and in setting objectives for the future. WTEC studies also have been important in establishing new lines of communication and identifying opportunities for cooperation between U.S. researchers and their colleagues abroad, thus helping to accelerate the progress of science and technology generally within the international community. WTEC is an excellent example of cooperation and coordination among the many agencies of the U.S. Government that are involved in funding research and development: almost every WTEC study has been supported by a coalition of agencies with interests related to the particular subject at hand. As President Truman said over 50 years ago, our very survival depends upon continued leadership in science and technology. WTEC plays a key role in determining whether the United States is meeting that challenge, and in promoting that leadership.

12 viii Preface PREFACE This report was prepared by WTEC, which is a non-profit research institute funded by grants from most of the Federal research agencies. Among other studies, WTEC has provided peer reviews by panels of American experts of international R&D in 60 fields since In early 2003, WTEC was asked by several agencies to assess European R&D in additive/subtractive manufacturing. This report is the final product of that study. We would like to thank our distinguished panel of experts, who are the authors of this report, for all of their efforts to bring this study to a successful conclusion. We also are very grateful to our European hosts for their generous hospitality to our panel, and to the participants in our workshop on additive/subtractive manufacturing in Europe. Of course, this study would not have been possible without encouragement from our sponsor representatives: George Hazelrigg, Delcie Durham, Michael Reischman, and Deborah Young of NSF; Ralph Wachter and Khershed Cooper of ONR; Joe Bielitzky of DARPA, and Kevin Lyons of NIST (now at NSF). This report covers a broad spectrum of material on the subject, so it may be useful to give a preview here. The Executive Summary was prepared by the chair, Joseph J. Beaman, with input from all the panelists. The chapters in the body of this report present the panel's finding in an analytical organization by subdiscipline. Appendix A provides the biographies of the panelists. Appendices B contain the panel s individual reports on each site visited in Europe, which form a chronological or geographic organization of much of the material. A glossary is in Appendix C. All the products of this project are available at The electronic color version of this report is particularly useful for figures that do not reproduce well in black and white. Also posted at this site are the slideshows from the workshop held for this project, which contain considerable additional information on R&D in European additive/subtractive manufacturing.

13 ix EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Joseph J. Beaman INTRODUCTION Increasingly sophisticated technologies have been developed over the last 20 years to produce complex, freeform solid objects directly from computer models without part-specific tooling; these are often labeled solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technologies. Until recently they have been applied principally to prototype models and have encompassed predominantly additive or layered manufacturing techniques. These technologies are evolving steadily and are beginning now to encompass related systems of material addition, subtraction, assembly, and insertion of components made by other processes. Furthermore, these various additive/subtractive processes are starting to evolve into rapid manufacturing techniques for masscustomized products, away from narrowly defined rapid prototyping. If additive/subtractive (A/S) techniques can be effectively used for actual manufacturing, they hold the promise of drastically decreasing the time to market for new products and of reducing the life cycle costs of existing products. They can also help to create totally new types of manufacturing jobs in the advanced economies of the world. This will be especially true as manufacturing moves from a resource base to a knowledge base and as important manufacturing segments move from mass-produced, single-use products, to new mass-customized, high-value, life-cycle products. This report of the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) presents the results of a comparative study of integrative additive/subtractive approaches to material synthesis and manufacturing in Europe and the United States in the context of direct manufacture of products. Besides reviewing the state of the art of A/S processes and materials generally, the study reviews application of A/S manufacturing specifically to medicine and tissue engineering, energy systems, and the environment. This initiative was administered by WTEC and sponsored by four agencies of the U.S. government: the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Department of Commerce (DOC). It starts from and builds on an earlier WTEC report, Rapid Prototyping in Europe and Japan (Prinz et al ). The study s sponsors asked the members of the expert panel to gather and compare information on additive/subtractive manufacturing research and development in Europe and the United States in order to inform and guide U.S. Government planning for research investments, to clarify research opportunities and requirements for advancing the field, and to identify opportunities for international collaboration. To achieve the sponsors goals, the members of the WTEC panel carried out the study in several phases: Establish a baseline for the study by conducting a literature review of recent work in the field Gather first-hand information concerning state-of-the-art R&D in A/S manufacturing by conducting visits to 15 renowned university and industrial laboratories in 5 European countries Report back findings in both a public forum and in writing to the sponsors, the scientific community, and the public The panelists visited the sites in Europe in October The Additive/Subtractive Manufacturing Workshop was held at the National Science Foundation on December 2, This report, the final phase of the study, details and analyzes the WTEC panel s findings. Both the viewgraphs of the workshop and the files of this report are available to the public on the Web at
14 x Executive Summary MAJOR FINDINGS Early in the course of this WTEC study, it became evident that SFF manufacturing technology development was a priority at most of the sites visited in Europe and that teaming relationships had been established between university, industry, and government entities within each country visited and in many cases, across Europe. The majority of the additive/subtractive research and development in Europe was focused on advanced development of existing SFF technologies to enable the transition from prototyping to manufacturing of end-use parts by improving processing performance, materials, modeling and simulation tools, and design tools. Additionally, there were several efforts in applications development for limited production parts, and studies were underway to compare SFF techniques with traditional manufacturing processes. Following are the major conclusions of the WTEC s expert panel concerning the status of A/S manufacturing in Europe compared to the United States: 1. The European Union (EU) has an organized effort to make advances in Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) or layered processes, as evident in the EU s completed RAPTIA project and its new NEXTRAMA project. The European community has targeted rapid manufacturing as the primary goal of this project. 2. There is substantial funding for important process development of SFF technologies that were in many cases initiated in the United States (laser sintering of powders, direct metal deposition and laser fusion of powders, and ink-jet printing techniques). European funding is substantially higher than U.S. funding in these established technologies. 3. European research and development infrastructure in SFF technologies is superior to that in the United States. 4. Although the United States is still leading in innovations in this field, there is more innovative and leading-edge R&D going on in Europe now as compared to the timeframe of the earlier WTEC rapid prototyping study. 5. As compared to the United States, there is a much closer tie in Europe between university research and industrial needs. 6. Although less emphasized in Europe than in the United States, basic science is still present in European research in SFF and related technologies. 7. There are very few development programs in Europe that truly integrate both additive and subtractive processes. 8. The emphasis of European researchers is on opportunities in rapid manufacturing using SFF technologies with a variety of other complementary processes. They are interested in the entire process chain to create new business models. 9. The combined work of the University of Freiburg and Envisiontec for tissue scaffolding is as advanced or more advanced than any worldwide. The 3D Bioplotter is the first biospecific fabrication system that can print the entire range of biomaterials and cells that will be the future of biofabrication. This commercial system is as advanced as research prototypes in the United States. 10. There is no work in fabricating fuel cells with SFF, but the possibility is of interest to the European community. 11. European researchers recognize the need to consider the environmental impact of A/S processes, particularly as more production manufacturing applications emerge. Research underway in this area is limited at present. 12. There is a pervasive acknowledgement by European hosts of the inadequacies of existing CAD capabilities for design of parts to be fabricated by SFF. 13. As in the United States, the number of rapid prototyping service bureaus has declined. Many companies are obtaining concept modelers for rapid prototyping, which is a separate market from rapid manufacturing. 14. Most European researchers would welcome collaboration on international programs/projects with U.S. researchers in additive/subtractive manufacturing.

16 xii Executive Summary
17 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Joseph J. Beaman and Clint Atwood SCOPE OF STUDY Additive/subtractive manufacturing techniques encompass so-called solid freeform fabrication (SFF) methods. These have been used since the 1980s to produce prototypes of complex freeform solid objects directly from computer models without part-specific tooling or knowledge (Beaman et al. 1997; Venuvinod and Ma 2004). The techniques by now are well established, especially for rapid prototyping of mechanical elements. The SFF community has made great strides in applying two-dimensional design decomposition to the layered deposition of structures with increasing geometric complexity. However, use of layered SFF techniques alone can be restrictive with respect to part quality and material variety. This report uses the term additive/subtractive manufacturing to mean those rapid fabrication processes that include more than just layered processes, but also related systems of material addition, subtraction, assembly, and insertion of components made by other processes. In addition to the emergence of a greater variety and complexity of rapid fabrication processes, materials, and products, it is clear that additive/subtractive processes are starting to emerge as true rapid manufacturing techniques for mass-customized products, not just for prototyping. If these techniques can be effectively used for true manufacturing, they hold the promise of transforming the traditional manufacturing paradigm by drastically decreasing the time to market for new products, reducing the life cycle costs of existing products, and creating new manufacturing jobs built on an expanded knowledge base. This report of the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) expands on a WTEC study entitled Rapid Prototyping in Europe and Japan (Prinz et al ). This report examines subsequent research and development in additive/subtractive manufacturing technologies in the context of new, integrative approaches to material synthesis and manufacturing in Europe and the United States. The study s sponsors are four agencies of the U.S. Government: the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Department of Commerce (DOC). The sponsors charged the WTEC panelists with gathering information on additive/subtractive manufacturing research and development programs at home and in Europe, and with critically analyzing and comparing them. The goals are to Inform and guide U.S. government planning for its research investments Identify good ideas overseas worth exploring in U.S. S&T programs Clarify research opportunities and needs for advancing progress in the field generally Identify opportunities for international collaboration Evaluate the position of European research programs relative to those in the United States
18 2 1. Introduction It is in the area of direct manufacturing that the WTEC panel focused this study. In particular, the panel looked at additive/subtractive manufacturing processes appropriate for the custom manufacture of products rather than models. Other areas of particular interest to the panelists and the study s sponsors were the application of additive/subtractive manufacturing to materials synthesis enabled by and developed for these processes; medicine and tissue engineering; energy applications; and environmental impacts and benefits. INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD An example SFF process is the layered photopolymer process, stereolithography, which was introduced by 3D Systems in As shown in Figure 1.1, the process starts by scanning the surface of a vat of photopolymer with a UV laser that selectively hardens a portion of the top layer of the material in the vat. The platform with the attached portions is then dipped into the vat to create a fresh layer on top of the previous one. This new layer is then scanned with the laser. This process is repeated until a solidified part is fabricated and withdrawn from the vat. Figure 1.1. Schematic of stereolithography, a representative SFF photopolymer process. Liquid photopolymer is spread on the surface of a platform that is scanned by a light source to initiate gelation. These steps are repeated to build a part. Post processing may be needed to complete solidification. The complexity that can be obtained from SFF parts is impressive, as demonstrated by Figure 1.2. This complexity comes at a very low cost as compared to other manufacturing processes such as machining. Figure 1.2. Complex SFF part created in a selective laser sintering process.

19 Joseph J. Beaman and Clint Atwood 3 The annual worldwide market for SFF systems was approximately $500 million in 2002; there were approximately 10,000 machines installed worldwide, and the United States had approximately 40% of these systems (Wohlers 2003). A breakdown of the use of these machines is shown in the chart in Figure 1.3. As can be seen in this figure, direct manufacturing only represented 3.9% of utilization in 2003, but this is the area of most potential for growth in the technology. Functional models 22.4% Visual aids for engineers 15.3% Fit/assembly 15.0% Patterns for prototype tooling 10.6% Patterns for cast metal 9.2% Tooling components 6.2% Visual aids for toolmakers 4.9% Proposals 4.0% Direct manufacturing 3.9% Other 3.5% Ergonomic studies 3.4% Quoting 1.7% Figure 1.3. Uses of SFF parts. (data, Wohlers 2003) An example of the potential for additive/subtractive processes in the direct manufacturing of parts is the use that Boeing Corporation is making of the technology. Boeing is making ducting and installing this directly into fighter aircraft. With this procedure, the company can drastically reduce part count (see also Chapter 3). Other examples include hearing aid shells being made by Siemens and the Invisalign orthodontia system marketed by Invisalign. METHODOLOGY A preliminary workshop was held in Washington in the spring of 2003 with the panel chairman, prospective panel members, representatives from the sponsoring agencies, and the WTEC support team in order to finalize the membership of the expert panel (see below) and the scope of the study. During October, 2004, the panelists conducted site visits in groups of two to three members to 15 sites in 5 European countries: Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (U.K.). The sites visited were primarily academic or research institutes and development companies. Several panelists also contributed observations based on pubic presentations and private meetings held at the Virtual and Rapid Prototyping (VRAP) international conference in Leiria, Portugal, from 1 4 October This report is based primarily on observations made by panelists during their site visits, but other input from panelists is included as well. All site visit reports, which were reviewed by the host organizations prior to publication of the report, are included in Appendix B. The WTEC panel presented its findings concerning the latest additive/subtractive manufacturing research and development in Europe at a public seminar held on 2 December 2003 at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA. This report, the final phase of the study, details the final results of the WTEC panel s findings. It is available to the public on the Web at as well as in print.
