VEHICLE FIRES A PRACTICAL APPROACH by Mike Higgins - K-Chem Labs - Westford, Massachusetts

1 VEHICLE FIRES A PRACTICAL APPROACH by Mike Higgins - K-Chem Labs - Westford, Massachusetts Determining the origin and cause of a vehicle fire is indeed a formidable task. Before one attempts to determine the "how s" and "why s" of a vehicle fire you must know and understand the makeup of the materials that the vehicle is constructed from. Knowing the ignition temperatures, flash points, melting points and flammability of the various materials is a must in making these determinations. Use reference guides such as NFPA 921 Guide for Fire & Explosion Investigations. It is also very important to know how recently the vehicle has been operated. It is much easier for fires to accidentally start in a hot engine area than a cold and a fire will burn and expand quicker in a hot engine compartment. Unlike dwelling fires, vehicle fires burn similar to a fire in a barrel or small incinerator. The major damage occurs in a short period and the fire becomes all encompassing. Normally, within fifteen minutes, major destruction has occurred and in many cases, the evidence that would indicate what caused the fire to start will be destroyed. There are two major groups that vehicle fires come under, Intentional and Accidental. Intentional Fires Insurance fraud is one of the major reasons for vehicle fires and in many cases; the vehicle has been reported stolen. To make this a successful endeavor the owner must make this whole scenario appear as though it was performed by a thief; therefore, the owner must think like a thief. He or she has to make sure everything is done to make the vehicle look as though it was stolen when it is found by the police or fire department. The ignition system must be defeated in such a way that someone could start and/or steer the vehicle. If they don't defeat the ignition system they must be able to show that someone could have a copy of their key, use a special key that will operate their vehicle or their lock was picked. This is an area where the investigator must use a lot of caution because of the many lock-picking and by-passing devices that are available on the market today... If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm or antitheft system, this also must be defeated. Many of these devices like Chapman locks and kill switches can deter the amateurs thief but knowledgeable thieves can defeat most of these systems in a short period. In most of these systems, the thief goes under the hood and simply pulls the alarm or shorting wire off. With the newer vehicles the transponders are very popular and offer a greater challenge to thieves. Vehicles are stolen for various reasons some of which are profit, joy rides or to be used in a crime. The owner wanting to follow this assumption, in many cases, will remove something of value to make the theft scenario look good. The problem at this point is that the owner, in most cases, does not know how to do all the above. To cover up for his lack of knowledge, he will burn the vehicle hoping to cover his mistakes. Vehicles that are stolen for joy rides and to commit crimes are burned in many cases to cover up fingerprints or any evidence that may have been left behind. If the engine is in very bad condition or possibly to the point of seizing, the owner will sometimes start the fire in the engine compartment as well as the interior. If the insured performed all of the above procedures properly then your job of proving fraud will be near impossible. Thankfully, in many of these cases, they do not do all that they should properly. In all of these cases a thorough investigation of the vehicle and the facts surrounding the theft must be performed. Determining the origin and cause of these fires is usually straight forward because no one is trying to hide the fact that the vehicle has been purposely set on fire. Note; Do not do these investigations lightly. If a police or fire agency is going to charge the owner with attempting to defraud the insurance company and burning of a motor vehicle, a good fire investigation must be done. If the fire is put out in a reasonable period, you will have a good chance of making the exact determination and finding an accelerant if one was used. In many of these fires the vehicle is taken to a remote location where it is near impossible to get at the vehicle readily thus allowing it to burn near complete. As impossible as it may seem, we have had successful investigation with these so-called 1
2 "Crispy Critters". In the debris, we have found keys and other items that indicate the vehicle was not stolen. Other types of intentional fires are; revenge, to cover up a crime and destroy evidence. Investigating a revenge fire is difficult because no one seems to know the reason why or motive the vehicle was burned unless a message of some type was conveyed to the victim. In many cases, these fires are left undetermined if they are burned out, credited to vandalism or are very obvious due to the hurried manner the fire was set. These fires occur in the vicinity of where the victim works or lives. Rarely will you see a vehicle stolen for the purpose of revenge. This would expose the perpetrator to his greatest fear, which is of being caught. Fires to cover up a crime or destroy evidence are not always obvious because you are dealing with professional thieves that know how to steal vehicles. In many cases, these vehicles are fairly new and fast. These vehicles will be found with various levels of ignition damage and nothing will be stolen from them. If the insurance company or police agency investigator does not know that the vehicle was stolen for use in a crime, they may suspect that the owner is involved because nothing was stolen from the vehicle. This is where proper investigative techniques must be used to avoid accusing an innocent person of a crime or denying their insurance claim. In some inexpensive or older vehicles, the population of components in the engine is sparse and there is less plastic used. In these vehicles fire does not spread as rapidly therefore burns for a longer period or it has a better chance of burning itself out. The origin of the fire in the engine is sometime quite difficult because of the amount of flammable items and how easy the fire transmits between them. For example, assume that an electrical wire in a harness shorted in such a way that it became very hot. This would cause the vinyl coating on the wire, and those surrounding it, to melt and then ignite. The harness will now act like a wick carrying the fire to a location where other flammable items are, thus causing them to ignite. Now assume the secondary fire burns very intense before the fire is put out. For example: If the fire burns in the area of the master cylinder or hydraulic lines in heavy equipment, the fluid will ignite resulting in an intense area of burning. The appearance of this second burn will make it look like the origin. This will also mislead investigators to thinking that the short was caused by second fire. Like in most fires, the greatest area of burning is not necessarily the area of origin. What came first, the chicken or the egg? This is a common dilemma in vehicle fire determination. Improperly factory installed battery cable on the solenoid caused five new vehicles to burn. Accidental Fires This is where your knowledge of the particular vehicle is very important. Before attempting to examine the vehicle, check on line to the various consumer and government agencies to see if there are recalls or historical data to assist you. The majority of accidental fires occur in the engine compartment. This is true for automobiles, trucks and heavy equipment. Prior knowledge of how the components are laid out and how dense their arrangement is will help you to understand how rapid the fire spreads. The engine compartments of modern vehicles have many plastic components that once ignited will quickly spread the fire. 2 Fire along the door of this vehicle was caused by poor workmanship while installing a 12volt line to a lantern charger Vehicle fires are caused by defective or worn components, poor workmanship, age or normal deterioration and lack
3 of proper maintenance. Before attempting to examine a burned vehicle, find out its history. When was the last time the vehicle was driven? How well did it run? When is the last time the vehicle was serviced? Have there been any product recalls on this vehicle? This personal bus stated burning at rear left side while driving Wire were installed under metal trim and hold-down screw penetrated wire insulation causing short to ground It has been estimated that modern vehicles contain hundreds of pounds of plastic materials (approximately lbs, depending on size). The majority of these are thermoplastics and contains flame retardants. Thermoplastics melting temperatures are approximately 340 o F and above. It is not until these plastics begin to melt are the fire retardants driven out and at this point, the material becomes virgin plastic and will burn rapidly. With the new hybrid or all electric vehicles the majority of these are constructed with plastic or fiberglass and will burn very complete leaving little to no evidence as to cause or origin. Finding many wires that short as a result of the fire is very common. In these fires it is very important to get as much information as possible before investigating. Polyurethane Foam This is standard material throughout the interior of the modern vehicle. It is contained within the seat cushions, dashboard, headliner, door panels, consoles and armrest. This material will burn with the intensity of gasoline once ignited. I have demonstrated the intensity of a fire fueled only by the plastic and polyurethane foam at many carburning demonstrations by simply starting a small fire behind the dash using a hand full of newspaper. This will have the interior engulfed in flames within five minutes and it does not make much difference if I left the windows open or closed. Even with windows closed in today's vehicle there is ample air coming through the vents that will feed a slow growing fire. The temperature difference between the inside and outside, in most cases, will quickly cause windows to fracture and break allowing in more air or oxygen. Polyurethane foam burns like any liquid accelerant where the hydrocarbons must be driven into a gaseous state (vapor) before they will burn. Poor maintenance failed to properly tighten engine pipe exhaust clamp was the cause Antifreeze Fires These are probably the most common among older automobile engine fires. Many car and trucks today are involved in fires that are caused by antifreeze leaking on to hot engine surfaces. Many of these fires are going completely unsolved because many investigators do not realize how flammable antifreeze is. Many times you will hear the scenario that someone was driving along and noticed the engine was overheating or saw steam coming from the engine compartment and when they stopped the engine burst on fire. What happened here? Antifreeze is a mixture of ethylene glycol and water at a normal dilution of 50/50. Ethylene glycol has a flash point of o F and the auto-ignition temperature is 770 o F and the LEL 3.2% UEL 15.3% We also know that the manifold in a running gasoline engine or turbo charger in trucks can reach temperatures that well exceed the Autoignition temperature of ethylene glycol. These temperatures can auto-ignite even the heaviest hydrocarbons found in the engine compartment When hot antifreeze mix leaks onto the hot surfaces of an engine, the water/glycol will begin to boil, keeping the solvent mix at a temperature of approximately 225 o F until most of the water has boiled away. (Mixing antifreeze to water raises its boiling point) At this point, what remains is pure ethylene glycol that will now heat and vaporize to its flash point of o F. If a stray spark from a high voltage 3
4 wire or an electrical component occurs in the area of the vapors from the glycol, ignition will occur. If no spark is available, then the glycol will continue to heat and vaporize. If a portion of the glycol comes in contact with a hot manifold or turbo charger surface, then auto-ignition will occur. Once ignition occurs in either of the above cases, the fire will burn in a normal manner and ignite other petroleum products or plastics in the engine. This phenomenon has been reproduced and documented many times at K-Chem Labs. These experimental results have been used in courtrooms to prove beyond a doubt the manner in which antifreeze fires occur. Being a petroleum product, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol burn very intense and will reach temperatures in excess of 1300 o F. These temperatures are sufficient to cause the melting of aluminum and zinc engine components such as radiators, alternator housings, air conditioning pumps, valve covers and carburetors. These accidental fires will sometimes have the appearance of being intentional because of the heat that is generated or the appearance of accelerant burn patterns. It is normal for aluminum radiators to burn or melt from the top down in a "V" pattern. This happens as the antifreeze boils out and burns causing the radiator to melt. In cold engines, contrary to the above, rarely will you ever see an accidental fire as a direct result of antifreeze. This is why it is very important for a fire investigator to have complete knowledge of all the events related to the vehicle before the fire started. still return a pulse to the pump. This little fuel leak can cause a fire to start if a spark or very hot surface comes in contact with fuel or vapors. The listed auto-ignition temperature of gasoline is 810 o F. This temperature result is done at the lab in a closed cup Pensky-Martens apparatus and using an ASTM standard procedure. This test does not simulate the conditions in a vehicle. It has been estimated that, it takes temperatures in access of 1700 o F to autoignite gasoline vapors in the vehicle atmosphere. Do not be mislead by these values, where the flash point of gasoline is anywhere between -45 o to -25 o F, a simple electrical spark, which has a temperature greater than 3500 o F, will ignite the gasoline vapors instantly. Fires that start in the area of the carburetor and burn for an extended period will sometimes cause melting of the carburetor as long as a continual supply of fuel is available. The area under the carburetor in general does not have a lot of flammable products, so there has to be a supply of fuel to cause the heating of the carburetor to its melting point. ( 900 o o F ) This also causes the burning of the paint on the hood directly above it. The hood is a great indicator of the location and intensity of the fire in the engine. Breaks or bad connections in metal fuel line are, in many cases, easy to find. With so many vehicle now using plastic lines, finding a fuel leak cause becomes near impossible because all the lines burn away. Improperly installed fuel injector destroyed this vehicle Gasoline Fires These happen because of various faults in the fuel line connections, carburetor or fuel injection systems. It is becoming more common today to see the electric fuel pump located in or at the gas tank. The great safety feature built into most of these pumps is that they must receive a return pressure pulse from the return fuel line in order to produce another pulse of fuel. If the feed or return fuel line develops a large fuel leak such that no return pulse gets to the pump, then the system immediately shuts down. The benefit of this is if the fuel line breaks open, only a little fuel will escape. If a fire is generated by this break, no additional fuel will feed the fire. These systems are not a total cure though because the fuel lines can leak a little and 4
5 The above vehicle was totally destroyed as a result of a the defective auto shutoff filler valve causing diesel to over fill the tank and the vehicle left running while being fueled Diesel Engine Fires Much of what I said earlier applies here even though they tend to run cooler than gasoline engines. Turbo chargers failure or leaks can cause fires. A turbo surface can reach temperatures in excess of 900 o F while the engine is under load. A cracked oil feed line to turbo was the cause Electrical Fires Oil Fires These happen as a result of carelessness, oil leaking from valve covers or leaking lines that migrates to the hot manifold surface. Oil will auto-ignite at 850 o F. These are not uncommon fires. There have been factory recalls that addressed this problem by placing diverters to keep leaking oil from flowing onto the manifold. In many cases, these fires will be misread thinking they are caused by a fuel leak. This is because the fire burns up the side of the engine causing damage to the carburetor or area about it. Fire started in front of the vehicle after it was turned off Power steering and Brake fluid rarely cause fires to occur but once heated in a fire will burn with great intensity. During a fire, leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder burns intense as it runs down in the firewall area and will sometimes mislead the investigator into thinking an accelerant was poured there or it s the origin of the fire. This truck burned while idling 5 Defective cooling fan caused the above fire These take a lot of diligent searching in vehicle fires. So many of the wires are buried within harness that end up burned. Separating these harnesses takes a lot of time and requires a lot of patience. If the fuse panel is still intact, it can be a good source of direction for interior fires. A lot of the wiring in engines do not have fuses therefore when they short out there is normally melting or fusing together of wires. These wires when found are often brittle if they became very hot. If the short is to ground and the hot wire runs through a harness, you will find the entire wire has the vinyl insulation melted from the point of the short back to the source.
6 A loose battery cable clamp wore through the insulation causing short. Note; cable never severed! When smaller wires are fed by larger wires and the smaller wire shorts, the melting will only go back to the larger wire. The above are general facts and like everything, there are variations to these rules. When investigating fires that appear to have started within switches or small motors, use a lot of care removing these parts. They normally have plastic housings and structure, once burned, crumbles easily. Put a container under these parts when you try to remove them in order to catch the small electrical contact as they fall out. Use Arc Mapping to show the area where electrical activity occurred during the early stages of the fire. Poorly secured battery cable and fuel lines eventually wore through causing short circuit and fire Normal Progression of Fire The progression of fire in vehicles, that have an accidental origin, are obvious but worth reviewing. When looking at the overall progress of a vehicle fire, try to find out what the wind conditions where at the time of the fire. The wind can make a major difference in the progression of a vehicle fire causing misconceptions on how the fire started and burned. The following progressions are for none wind conditions. Dash board fires. Fires that start in the dashboard will consume those flammable materials then progress up to consume the headliner quite readily. The windows, if 6 closed, will start breaking out allowing the fire to intensify taking out the rest of the windows. At this point, the vehicle will burn like a large container burning the top of the seats and working down toward the floor. There is no oxygen at the floor level so the only thing that can occur is radiation damage from above causing melting of synthetic materials and production of more flammable gases to burn above. If an accelerant were on the floor, at this point, it would burn either because of the lack in oxygen. This is why, even after an extensive burn, we can still find accelerant residue in the debris of vehicles. Depending on the type vehicle, at ten to fifteen minutes into the fire, the fire will pass into the engine compartment and into the trunk area. The fire will continue in near "V" pattern from the interior out and consume the entire vehicle in approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Engine Fires. Hot engines burn faster than cold engines. Assuming the fire starts at the center of the engine compartment and the fire reaches the point where the paint is starting to burn off the major portion of the hood. Breakdown of the plastic firewall components starts. Fire normally passes through the firewall in the area where the heater fan and air conditioner are. The casing of these items is usually plastic or sometimes thin aluminum. Either will be consumed readily allowing the fire to pass into the interior. Once the fire reaches the interior, it will burn in the same manner as the dashboard fire above. As the fire passes through the dash, it will also start to consume the antifreeze coming from the burned hoses and cause the coolant to boil out of the radiator and burn. The plastic front and rear ends of modern vehicles bring fire to either extreme in a short period. The more plastic or fiberglass these vehicles have as part of the body structures the quicker and more complete the vehicle will burn. Most cars will completely burn in 45 minutes to an hour without any accelerants being added to assist. This article is by no means a complete guide to doing vehicle fire investigation. I have burned more than 200 cars, boats and trucks at various seminars and vehicle fires have investigated several thousand vehicle fires. The intent of this article is to share my observations and experience. I hope it will serve as an aid to helping others in developing ideas as to the cause of the particular fire that they have to investigate.

It is, as we like to say on this cynical little island, "typical" that a few weeks after the Met Office assured us that this would be one of the warmest winters on record we find ourselves in the midst of the deepest freeze for thirty years. This is, after all, the same Met Office that assured us of a "barbeque summer" last year. The past three years have seen a similar pattern of Met Office hype followed by disappointment and shivering. In today's Sunday Telegraph, Christopher Booker claims that the Exeter-based institution's bad record in recent years is no coincidence:
What is not generally realised is that the UK Met Office has been, since 1990, at the very centre of the campaign to convince the world that it faces catastrophe through global warming. (Its website now proclaims it to be "the Met Office for Weather and Climate Change".) Its then-director, Dr John Houghton, was the single most influential figure in setting up the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the chief driver of climate alarmism. Its Hadley Centre for Climate Change, along with the East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU), was put in charge of the most prestigious of the four official global temperature records. In line with IPCC theory, its computers were programmed to predict that, as CO2 levels rose, temperatures would inevitably follow. From 1990 to 2007, the Department of the Environment gave the Met Office no less than £146 million for its "climate predictions programme".
Before the defenders of orthodoxy leap all over me, I'm fully aware that climate is not the same as weather, that a general warming trend is not cancelled out by individual cold days, or even cold years, and that what happens in Britain, or North West Europe, is of small account in planetary terms. Of course. I'm passing no comment here about the climate science, except to say that the more I hear it proclaimed in ever shriller tones that the science is settled, the less I believe it. I used to think the science was settled. I now merely think that there are a lot of people who think that it ought to be settled, which isn't the same thing at all.
But the accuracy or otherwise of the AGW hypothesis doesn't detract from the fact that the following sequence events has become all too common recently:
1) the Met Office says it's going to be hot
2) it isn't
And if they're so catastrophically wrong about the weather, which is after all supposed to be their main job, why should we pay any attention to what they say about the global climate, which is considerably more complex?
The Mail's account of the Great Freeze of 09/10 attracted a fair number of comments critical of the Met Office's record. No surprises there. But then Tony from Norwich came on. He wrote:
I work for the Met office and am appalled by all the negative comments about us on this site. This will be the warmest winter in living memory, the data has already been recorded. For your information, we take the highest 15 readings between November and March and then produce an average. As November was a very seasonly warm month, then all the data will come from those readings. And not to reveal too much, the data does show that the average over those 15 readings will make it a very warm reading. You cannot accept that a week's snow will affect the outcome.
This explains a great deal. There's the question of dates, for one thing. If the Met Office believes that "winter" begins in late autumn and continues until the middle of spring, then it's quite likely that their statistics will differ markedly from many people's perceptions. A really cold couple January and December, sandwiched between three warm months, may not register as "a cold winter" to the meteorologists. But it will be experienced as such, talked about as such, and remembered as such by ordinary folk, who will have less trust in the Met Office as a result. It may be convenient for administrative purposes to define "winter" in this way, but in doing so the Met Office loses touch with the real world and normal people, retreating to a self-referential and self-reinforcing world of statistics. Many government departments have gone down this road in recent years: unemployment statistics that exclude most people who are actually unemployed, crime statistics that exclude many crimes, debt statistics that take no note of PFI schemes...
But you'll have noticed the really amazing sentence in Tony's defence of the Met Office. "We take the highest 15 readings between November and March and then produce an average." They ignore, in other words, the lowest readings. This is a method almost certain to produce massive distortion. A warm November would fix a winter as "mild" even if the temperature in the subsequent three months averaged sixty degrees below zero. Which is almost, but not quite, what is likely to happen this winter.
The Met Office weren't wrong at all, it turns out. They were just "differently right".
"You cannot accept that a week's snow will affect the outcome," says Tony. Maybe not. But why should a week's warm weather affect the outcome? The Met Office, it seems clear, have (deliberately?) adopted a definition of seasonal temperature that exaggerates warmth and downplays cold. This is of no use to anyone except propagandists.
I missed out Tony's final sentence. Here it is:
We at the Met are already looking ahead until spring and judging by the winter results, we think spring could be very dry this year, even possibly drought conditions.
Next week I'm going to buy a new brolly, just in case.

Ariel Winter's Mother Denies Abuse Allegations: 'It's All Untrue'
"It's all untrue, it's all untrue," Workman told PEOPLE Monday.
"I have my doctor's letter that my daughter's never been abused. … I have stylists' letters that she's never been abused," she added.
According to court papers filed Oct. 3, Winter says she was subjected to "ongoing physical abuse (slapping, hitting, pushing) and emotional abuse (vile name-calling, personal insults about minor and minor's weight, attempts to 'sexualize' minor, deprivation of food, etc.) for an extended period of time" by Workman.
As a result of the claims, a judge granted temporary custody to Winter's older sister — who allegedly suffered from similar abuse by Workman nearly 20 years ago — and ordered Workman not to come within 100 yards of her daughter.
Winter has played Alex Dumphy, the daughter of Claire and Phil, on the Emmy-winning comedy since it premiered in 2009.

I work for a janitorial company and we are contracted with a factory to clean the building. I was off work and went and started my sister's car while she was in a meeting. When she came out I got out of the drivers side and walked around the rear of the vehicle to get in on the passenger side.
While walking between the car and the curb I slipped on the snow and was injured. I did not report my injury until the following day and have missed a week of work. Is my company liable for my injury? What about my sister's auto insurance or the owners of the parking lot? How can I get compensation for this? Thank you.
Disclaimer: Our response is not formal legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. It is generic legal information based on the very limited information provided. Do not rely upon the information in our response, or anywhere else on this site, when deciding the proper course of a legal matter. Always get a personalized case review from a local attorney.
Dear James,
Because you were not working at the time of your injury, your employer is not liable for your injuries and resulting expenses. Your sister's auto insurance will most likely not cover the fall as well.
Your only recourse seems to be against the owner of the parking lot, the company which manages it, or both. Parking lot owners have a duty to do everything reasonably possible to keep their property safe for those who are legally upon it. There is no doubt you were legally upon the property.
The next issue is whether or not the property owner, and/or management company did everything within reason to keep the parking lot free of snow.
A property owner's duty to protect those persons legally upon the premises is not absolute. This means the property owner must have taken adequate steps to remove the snow, and if he/she did, and snow was removed at regular intervals, then the owner's duty has not been breached.
A property owner is normally not bound by law to keep snow removal equipment available 24 hours a day to remove every bit of snow which falls. As long as the property owner acted reasonably, then he or she hasn't breached their legal duty to you and can not be held liable.
However, if the property owner or management company failed to remove the snow at regular intervals, they may be liable for your injuries and resulting damages. These may include not only your medical bills, but out-of-pocket expenses (for medications, splints, bandages, etc.), lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
The above is general information. Laws change frequently, and across jurisdictions. You should get a personalized case evaluation from a licensed attorney. Find a local attorney to give you a free case review here , or call (888) 647-2490.
Best of luck,

Supreme Court rejects Lexmark petition in toner cartridge fight
Supreme Court stays out of battle over toner
RALEIGH, N.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court won't weigh in on
a closely watched copyright lawsuit in which a printer manufacturer is trying to
stop a computer-chip maker whose parts allowed cheaper toner cartridges to be
used in name-brand machines.
Lexmark International Inc. said Monday it looks forward to continuing the
fight over what it says are its intellectual property rights. The printer maker
wants to block Static Control Components Inc. of Sanford, N.C. from selling the
computer chips.
Lexmark's appeal to the Supreme Court was filed late and rejected, a
spokeswoman for the Lexington, Ky., company said, meaning that the case returns
to a federal district court in its hometown. The spokeswoman, Julane Hamon,
declined to estimate what Static Control's chip is costing Lexmark.
Static Control contends that Lexmark engaged in anticompetitive and
monopolistic conduct and should pay damages of more than $100 million.
"We have contended that Lexmark, through a variety of their business
practices, violated a number of anti-competition laws," Static Control general
counsel William London said.
Previously, the toner cartridges had to be returned to Lexmark for
replacement. Using Static Control's chips, "remanufacturers" can make
cartridges that work with Lexmark printers and cost less than its brand-name
cartridges. Lexmark says Static Control is interfering with its relationship
with customers.
"We will continue to ask the courts to enforce existing laws governing
contracts and intellectual property so that our laser cartridge customers can
get the benefit of full and fair competition," Lexmark said in a statement.
Lexmark sued privately held Static Control in 2002, saying the computer chips
violated the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a federal law to prevent
people from tampering with technology.
A federal appeals court in Cincinnati rejected that view last year.
Static Control has continued to sell its Lexmark-compatible chips and last
year developed a new generation it said conformed to guidelines set down by the
appeals court.
London declined to say how many Lexmark-compatible chips have been sold.
Static Control supplies over 3,000 replacements parts — including
replacement chips for Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Xerox and others copiers — to
more than 10,000 remanufacturers worldwide. The company employs about 1,300
people in Sanford and declares sale of more than $300 million a

Charlie Weis Kansas
December 9, 2011 by staff
Charlie Weis Kansas, Kansas announced Thursday it has hired Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to be its next head coach. The 55-year-old Weis will be introduced at a press conference Friday.
Muschamp told the media during a Gator Bowl press conference Thursday that he supported Weis' decision and the two had discussed it over the last few days.
"He informed me about a couple hours ago [4 p.m.]," Muschamp said. "Very happy for him and his wife, Maura. Really excited for them and getting an opportunity to be a head coach.
"We certainly wish him the best of luck."
Muschamp stated that UF would remain a pro-style offense. Running backs coach Brian White will call plays in the bowl game when the Gators face Ohio State on Jan. 2.
Muschamp did say that he doesn't expect to lose more assistants. However, Weis was permitted by Muschamp to hire his choice for offensive line coach, meaning there's a chance Frank Verducci will follow Weis to Kansas.
Weis' departure is the second Muschamp is dealing with after strength and conditioning director Mickey Marotti left the Gators to join former UF coach Urban Meyer at Ohio State.
"Our staff hasn't been raided," Muschamp said. "Our strength coach left with a guy that he's been friends with for 25 years and I totally understood that that was a possibility when I retained Mickey.
"And our offensive coordinator got a head coaching job, a multi-million dollar deal. That's not getting raided."
The Gators have struggled offensively this season and are ranked 102nd in the country in total offense out of 120 Bowl Subdivision schools. UF doesn't rank nationally in the top 70 in rushing, passing or scoring offense.
Still, with national signing day quickly approaching on Feb. 1, Weis' departure could turn off some of the members of Florida's recruiting class excited about playing in his offense. Six of the Gators' 16 commitments are offensive prospects.
Now, instead of focusing on continuing to build his first full signing class at UF, Muschamp will have to devote his time to finding a new offensive guru. When asked, Muschamp mentioned Jacksonville University coach Kerwin Bell, a former UF standout quarterback, as a possible replacement during his conference. A source close to Bell also expects UF to pursue the 46-year old.
"I know Kerwin," Muschamp said. "He's an outstanding football coach and certainly will be under consideration."
Weis' health has been questioned as he has needed a cane to move around ofFlorida's sideline during games. Muschamp mentioned last Sunday during his Gator Bowl teleconference that Weis might need hip surgery in the offseason.
Weis came to UF following a one-year stint as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Prior to that, Weis was the head coach at Notre Dame from 2005-09, compiling a 35-37 record. As an offensive coordinator with New England, the Patriots won three Super Bowls. He also coached with the New York Jets and New York Giants.
Weis takes over a Kansas program that fired Turner Gill after he went 5-19 in two seasons.

Good quality food. Good location in Eden shopping area. We had a quick dinner before the theatre. Food came quickly. Lots of vouchers you can use.

The spiced nuts are a VERY poor dish. It was adevertised with several kinds of nuts, plus chick peas, but it was 99% chick peas. It was a waste of money. Otherwise the meal was excellent.

Verizon today reported its financial results from the third quarter and posted 7.6 million in cumulative smartphone activations. Of those activations, 3.9 million were from the iPhone. All told, the iPhone accounted for nearly 55% of all of Verizon's third-quarter smartphone activations.
During the same quarter a year ago, Verizon activated 3.1 million iPhones from a total pool of 6.8 million smartphone activations, meaning that the iPhone accounted for 45% of all of Verizon's smartphone activations.
So if we do some basic math, it's clear that iPhone growth on Verizon is growing much faster than overall smartphone growth. Quarter-over-quarter, iPhone activations increased by a solid 25% while Verizon's overall smartphone growth increased by just 11.7%.
As for overall earnings performance, Verizon posted EPS of 56 cents
As for other carriers, both AT&T and Sprint are poised to release their earnings for the quarter gone by next week. Apple, meanwhile, will post its quarterly results on Monday, October 28, and that's where the fun begins.
Apple, of course, set an iPhone launch record with its iPhone 5s and 5c combo, selling 9 million units in just three days. Even now, a few weeks removed from launch, iPhone 5s units remain in short supply.

MATLAB Newsgroup
Hi: I just brought the Matlab 2009 and try to learn GA toolbox. When I read the user's guide, I was confused about created m.file as shown below.
Below is the function called Rastrigin, which I copied from GA toolbox user guide.
Rastrigin's Function
This section presents an example that shows how to find the minimum of
Rastrigin's function, a function that is often used to test the genetic algorithm.
For two independent variables, Rastrigin's function is defined as
Ras(x)=20+x1+x −10(cos2 x +cos2 x).
Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox software contains an M-file,
rastriginsfcn.m, that computes the values of Rastrigin's function. The
following figure shows a plot of Rastrigin's function.
However, when I open this M.file. It seems a different function as shown below.
function scores = rastriginsfcn(pop)
%RASTRIGINSFCN Compute the "Rastrigin" function.
% Copyright 2003-2004 The MathWorks, Inc.
% $Revision: 188.8.131.52 $ $Date: 2004/08/20 19:50:22 $
% pop = max(-5.12,min(5.12,pop));
scores = 10.0 * size(pop,2) + sum(pop .^2 - 10.0 * cos(2 * pi .* pop),2);
Could anybody tell me what's wrong? Thanks
All the best
There is nothing wrong actually. The rastriginsfcn function is written to allow a vector of any length as input. The calculation follows from there. If you compare to this page about the function
you can see that the Matlab function uses A=10 (instead of allowing this value as input).
Hope that clears things up.
Thank you so much, Darren. How to get these beautiful pictures by matlab? Shoudl use the command "contour"? Thank you so much!

Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other associated disclosures are contained in our earnings release and on our website.Our comments on forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial measures apply both to the prepared remarks and to the question and answer. We want to remind everyone that this webcast contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of today. Any redistribution, retransmission or reproduction of this call without company consent is prohibited. With that, I'll turn the call over to Fred. Alfred E. Festa Good. Thanks, Mark. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning. We're off to a good start in 2012. We performed well in the quarter led by the results in our Catalyst Technologies and Construction Products segments. For the quarter, sales increased 8% to $754 million, gross margins improved 40 basis points to 36.7%, adjusted EBIT increased 16% to $111 million and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 70 basis points to 18.7%. We also saw good sequential improvement across our businesses. Hudson will walk you through the details shortly. It was a busy first quarter. First, we divided the Grace Davison business into 2 operating segments; Catalysts Technologies and Material Technologies. We are now reporting our financial results in 3 operating segments, these 2, plus the Construction Products group. Catalysts Technologies is now the home for all of our catalysts businesses, including refining catalysts and additives, polyolefin catalysts and chemical catalysts. Our ART hydroprocessing joint venture is managed in this segment as well. By combining all of our catalyst activities into a single unit, we have enhanced our critical mass in terms of research, innovation and customer reach. And this will enable us to do what we do best: anticipate customer needs and increase the value of their business. Additionally, we believe this will increase the public recognition of Grace as the industry-leading innovator and manufacturer of specialty catalysts.
