1. Field of the Invention
Our invention is a unidirectional distance measuring system which operates by transmitting and receiving both radio and low frequency sound waves between two points.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Many prior art inventions use the simultaneous transmission of sound and radio waves to measure distances between points. Most, such as sonar, depend on receiving reflected sound waves back from a surface. Our invention is not concerned with these types of systems which depend on receiving reflected sound since it measures the distance in one direction only. Of the known prior art the U.S. Pats. Nos. 1,126,095 to Schiessler, 1,138,013 Phinney, 3,731,273 and Hunt appear closest to our invention. Each, however, differs in several important aspects. The Schiessler invention does not operate over land without intervisibility by sending a substantially fixed amplitude sound wave of low frequency as the measuring phenomenon. Phinney's system depends on the judgment of the operators to a large degree and employs no specific audio or radio frequencies. In Hunt's invention the triangulation method with two microphones or a spark gap is needed. Further, in the Hunt system the position of the electrical signal generator is critical to its operation. Such is not the case with our invention as the distance being measured is to a large degree completely independent of the location of the sound and radio wave source or its receiver.
Our invention was primarly developed to measure distances between two points in cases where there was a lack of intervisibility between observers located at these points. A good example of its use can be found in measuring lateral distances from the center line rights of way for high power transmission lines in the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest. In such an environment direct line of sight devices cannot be used because of the lack of intervisibility. High frequency sound waves have also proven unsuitable as they are affected to a large degree by the dense growth between observers. Using measuring tapes is also unacceptable due mainly to the time element in making the measurements. What we have invented overcomes all of these restrictions and drawbacks and yet is nonaffected by environmental conditions such as rain, fog, darkness or the like. It is also so simple to operate that even untrained non-technical personnel can achieve accurate results.
The distance measuring system forming this invention has a sound source, a sound sensor, a radio transmitter and radio receivers contained in the sound source and sensor units. Initially the radio transmitter sends out a fixed frequency signal to simultaneously trigger the sound source and start a counter in the second sensor. Upon being triggered the sound source emits a low frequency (under 2,000 hertz) sound wave in the direction of the sound sensor. At the sound sensor the radio receiver receives the transmitted radio wave and triggers the running of a self contained electronic counter which counts the oscillations of a temperature calibrated, precision oscillator. This counter continues to run until the sound wave arrives at which time it stops running. The total count then directly indicates a distance whose value is dependent on the speed of sound. Lastly, the value is displayed by a readout unit in the sensor unit.
The primary object of this invention is an improved distance measuring system which employs both radio and sound waves.

Before describing the specific components in detail the theory of their operation and interaction should be explained. At the first point from which the measurements are to be made the operator has the sound sensor unit and transceiver units. Separated therefrom by the distance to be measured is the second operator with a sound source unit having an internal radio receiver. Initially, the radio transceiver unit is activated to trigger both the sound source and sound sensor. This is done by transmitting a specific radio frequency whose travel time for all practical purposes may be considerated instantaneous. When the radio wave actuates the sound source it emits a 600 Hertz tone burst for about one half second. Simultaneous with the initiation of this sound wave the same radio wave triggers a counter to count a gated oscillator running in the sound sensor unit. Since the distances we intend our invention to operate in are extremely short compared to the speed of light (2.997925�1010 cm/sec. in a vacuum) at which the radio wave is traveling, the two triggering events by the radio wave can be said to occur simultaneously. In the sound sensor unit a precision, temperature calibrated oscillator, adjustable to oscillate at frequencies equivalent to the speed of sound in air in feet per second by a potentiometer, is then counted by an electronic, totalizing counter. When the tone from the sound source reaches the sound sensor, it is detected, amplified, filtered and differentiated to transform it into a pulse which stops the counter running. The number of counts, directly corresponding to the distance in feet between the two units, is then displayed on an electronic digital readout within the sound sensor unit. To make additional measurements the sound sensor unit is then reset and the process repeated.
Presently the emitted sound wave is a sineusoidal wave of one half second duration with a frequency of 600 Hertz and a wavelength of about 2 feet. It is being used to measure distances in the 25 to 1,000 foot range. The radio wave transmitted in conjunction therewith is a fixed frequency of 27.575 Mega Hertz as specifically assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This frequency is in the Class D Citizens Band, and any nearby channel would work although this frequency was chosen because of lack of others transmitting on it. We anticipate that sound waves in the 200 to 2,000 Hertz range will work best with our invention. Waves with frequencies below 200 Hertz need a physically large speaker, and would require a large power consumption thus currently limiting its incorporation in a portable, lightweight unit. For comparison purposes our 600 Hertz wave consumes about 10 root mean square (rms) watts of power to achieve the necessary sound power. Above the 2,000 Hertz frequency, as the wavelength of the sound wave decreases, the problems of deflection and random echoes would become more of a serious operational factor. At the ultrasonic level the measuring accuracy of the invention would change from its goal of � 1 percent to a totally unacceptable level due to lack of foliage penetration and detection by the operator.
FIG. 1 shows the three basic components of our system. They include the sound source unit 1, the radio transceiver unit 3, and the sound sensor unit 5. Both the sound sensor and transceiver units are normally portable battery operated units carried by one operator. The sound source, also portable and battery operated, is carried by the separated operator. Each unit is enclosed in a moisture resistant housing and, except for its radio antenna connection, is radio frequency tight to prevent unwanted interference therefrom. Both the sound sensor and the transceiver could easily be housed in a single unit. As previously mentioned the radio transceiver unit is a 27.575 Mega Hertz citizen band radio. Actually the one used was a slightly modified version of a Model C75/80G manufactured by the Commander Radio Division of Trippe Electronics of Chicago, Ill. The modifications relate to the addition of a snap action push-to-transmit switch to enable essentially instantaneous transmission at full power from its antenna, and a talk/count switch to enable transmission of an unmodulated carrier wave to avoid ambiguous triggering while still permitting normal operation of the radio transceiver in the Talk position. Besides triggering the counter in the sound sensor, the transceiver may also be used to communicate between persons in the field.
The sound source shown in FIGS. 1-3 has a large (approximately 8 inch) loud speaker 7 attached upon a rectangular housing 9. This housing contains an integrated circuit, temperature compensated 600 Hertz sine wave oscillator coupled via an electronic switch to a transistorized audio power amplifier. To actuate the electronic switch the radio receiver's output is detected by a voltage comparator and differentiated. This pulse is then used to trigger an integrated circuit timer connected as a monostable multivibrator which has an "on" time of approximately one-half second. This halfsecond pulse then closes the electronic switch electrically connecting the oscillator to the amplifier for that period of time. This circuitry sets the half second tone burst out of the sound source unit. The reason we have designed a 600 Hertz tone with a half second "on" and "off" cycle is to conserve power in this battery operated portable unit and to make the tone less objectionable to the operator. In our preferred embodiment the sound source has its own internal rechargeable battery and a separate line powered battery charger. It also contains an integrated circuit voltage regulator to supply power to the radio receiver, comparator, and timer circuits. The audio amplifier is driven directly by the battery voltage.
The portable battery operated sound sensor unit, 5, depicted in FIGS. 1-3 contains the most electronics within its rectangular housing, 11, and is the most complex of the three units. When the radio signal is received and detected it is sensed by a voltage comparator and differentiated as in the sound source unit. This pulse is then used to trigger an integrated circuit timer which delays transmittal of the pulse by approximately fifteen milliseconds. This delay is needed to compensate for the grouped delay inherent in an active filter. The next stage receives the delayed pulse corresponding to receipt of the radio signal and applies it to an integrated circuit bistable multivibrator which is then triggered to its "on" state. This "on" state closes an electronic gate allowing the frequency from the temperature calibrated oscillator to be passed to an electronic digital counter. The 600 Hertz sound signal which was simultaneously triggered by the radio transmission is sensed by a small (approximately 5 inch) paging speaker, 13, operating as a microphone. After filtering out any radio frequency content of the sound wave, the electrical representation of the audio signal is amplified by a constant amplitude amplifier (see FIG. 5). The output from this amplifier is a signal of relatively constant amplitude and is presented to the input of an active band pass filter which is tuned to the sound source's oscillation frequency of 600 Hertz. The active filter's output is rectified and filtered to convert it to a DC voltage which is directly related to the magnitude of the active filter's output signal. It is then sensed by a voltage comparator whose output is differentiated to produce a pulse corresponding to the detection of the 600 Hertz audio tone. This pulse is the "stop count pulse" which resets the bistable multivibrator to its "off" state, thus stopping the counting of the temperature calibrated oscillator by the electronic digital counter. The number of counts corresponding to the time it took the audio tone to travel from the sound source to the sound sensor unit are then displayed on the digital display, 15, and are the actual number of straight line feet between the two units. This same digital readout could easily be made to give the readout distance in meters (or other units) by a simple adjustment of the temperature calibrated oscillator so that its frequency of oscillation corresponds to the velocity of sound in air in meters (or other units) per second rather than in feet per second.
An additional feature illustrated in FIG. 3 is the electrically grounded fine mesh black screen 16 through which an operator reads the numbers on the display 15. This screen acts to prevent interference from radio waves and has the added benefit of making the numbers visually stand out better by reducing glare.
Starting with FIG. 4(a) in the preferred embodiment of radio transceiver Model C75/80G, U, made by Commander Radio Division of Trippe Electronics, Chicago, Ill. was used. It was modified by the replacement of the push-to-talk switch by a snap action, four pole double throw, momentary, push button switch 17. It was further modified by addition of a single pole, double throw slide switch which switches out the transceiver microphone as the source of modulation for the transceiver. A base loaded, whip antenna manufactured by Commander Radio was also used rather than the standard telescoping antenna to prevent breakage of the latter in harsh outdoor environment.
In FIG. 4(b), there is shown the Radio Receiver, which in the preferred embodiment was a slightly modified Heath Co., Benton Harbor, Mich., radio control receiver module. The receiver-detector circuit board only was used as it was manufactured and the output was taken off of its power detector. The digital decoder board of this receiver module was not used in the invention. When the radio signal was received, the output voltage from the Receiver, drops from its quiescent positive five volts to approximately four volts depending on the strength of the input radio signal. This voltage change was detected by a Detector/Differentiator, and differentiated to convert the Detector's output to a negative going pulse. This pulse triggers a Output Tone Duration Timer, to close an Electronic Switch, for 500 milliseconds. This allowed the 600 Hertz sine wave generated by a Tone Oscillator to be the input to a Audio Power Amplifier which amplifies and sends out an audio tone, H, by its Loud Speaker through the medium over which the distance is to be measured.
Next, in FIG. 4(c), there is shown the transmitted radio signal R from the radio transceiver unit which is received by a Radio Receiver identical to the FIG. 4(b) unit described above. Its output is detected by a Detector/Differentiator and differentiated identically as in FIG. 4(b). The resulting negative going pulse is delayed by a Pulse Delay Timer for approximately 15 milliseconds. The Delay Timer's output pulse triggers a bistable multivibrator, Electronic Gate Controller, to its "on" state allowing the square wave signal from a Temperature Calibrated Oscillator to pass through the Electronic Gate, N, to be counted by the Digital Counter. When the audio tone (sound wave), H, reaches the Paging Speaker/Sound Sensor, it is transformed into an electrical signal to be input to a Constant Amplitude Amplifier. Any radio frequency noise is filtered out of the sensed audio tone by an R.F. (radio frequency) filter at the input of the amplifier. The constant Amplitude Amplifier is described in detail in FIG. 5. The output from it is then input to a twin tee, band-pass Active Filter, whose center frequency is set at the Audio Tone frequency of 600 Hertz. This particular type of Active Filter was chosen since it has the minimum delay in its pass band and has very high selectivity. The Constant Amplitude Amplifier and Active Filter are constructed from a single integrated circuit containing four operational amplifiers of the Norton type powered by a single polarity power supply. The output from the Active Filter is Rectified and Filtered to change the 600 Hertz electrical signal to a DC voltage, and this DC voltage is detected by a Detector which is a voltage comparator whose output is differentiated to create a negative going pulse. This pulse then goes back to an Electronic Gate Controller to reset it to its "off" state thus opening the Electronic Gate and stopping the Digital Counter causing it to decode the counter output and display the distance between the Sound Source Unit and Sound Sensor Unit on the Digital Readout. Because of their action within the circuit, the Detector/Differentiator and the Detector associated with the stop pulse generator are referred to as the Start Pulse Generator and Stop Pulse Generator respectively. It is their output pulses which trigger the Electronic Gate Controller into its two states thus opening the closing the Electronic Gate, which allows the Temperature Calibrated Oscillator's output square wave to be counted. The Electronic Gate Controller is a standard transistor-transisor logic bistable multibribator (flip-flop) connected in a nonstandard configuration. Its unconditional state setting inputs alone are used to drive its output to control the Electronic Gate. Its standard frequency division or toggle functions are completely suppressed.
All of the aforementioned circuits in FIGS. 4(a)-(c) are configured from common integrated circuits including the following types: LM741, LM311, LM324, LM555, LM340, all made by National Semiconductor and others; 640-1 solid state switches made by Teledyne Relays; SN7472, SN7400, digital integrated circuits made by Texas Instruments and others; MC4050 decade counter, decoder, and display driver in one digital integrated circuit made by Motorola Semiconductor exclusively. The uniqueness of the circuitry is the result of how the designer has configured various passive elements around these integrated circuits to achieve the end result desired.
FIG. 5 is a breakdown in block diagram format of the constant amplitude amplifier and its associated speaker components previously shown in FIG. 4(c) and enclosed by dashed lines therein. The purpose of this amplifier is to compensate for the wide range of input signals possible --greater than 44 decibels over the range of less than 25 feet to greater than 600 feet of the instrument -- and the fact that the grouped delay of an active filter varies with the amplitude of the applied signal. Without this circuit, the count start pulse delay would have to be varied with each measurement to compensate for tone amplitude variations caused by crosswinds, differing distances, and/or vegetation differences between observers. The constant amplitude amplifier is AC coupled to the paging speaker after the detected signal passes through a radio frequency (R.F.) interference filter. The amplifier has three stages of operational amplifiers (A1, A2, and A3) with diode clamping of the output of A1 to a fixed voltage (D1), resistance-capacitance feedback of out-of-range signals and noise, and resistive voltage division following more diode clamping to present the constant amplitude wave of fixed magnitude to the active filter. When incoming sound signal H is detected by the small weather resistant paging speaker and its R.F. content filtered out, it is amplified by a factor of 100 by the first amplifier stage A1. The output from this stage is then AC coupled to the second stage (A2) where it is again amplified by a factor of 10, but controlled via a feedback diode clamping and high frequency rolloff network to not exceed 0.7 volts peak-to-peak at output of A2. At the next or third stage (A3) the signal is directly (DC) coupled and amplified by a factor of 10 and outputted as a rounded square wave. It is then AC coupled to a matched diode (D2 and D3) network to clamp the signal to a fixed peak-to-peak value (+ and -0.7 volts peak-to-peak) which is then passed through a voltage divider (resistors R3 and R4). The output signal is then inputted to the operational active bandpass filter set at 600 Hertz. This signal is subjected to gain in its passband, but very little phase shift. This phaseshift and gain are constant with constant input frequency and amplitude resulting in an output signal which is fixed in time to the original tone from the sound source. This signal is then rectified, filtered, and differentiated to become the stop count pulse corresponding in time (less slight circuitry caused delay) to receipt of the 600 Hertz audio tone from the sound source unit.
It should be clear from the foregoing description that our invention was specifically designed to operate in an environment where intervisibility between observers is not possible but is not limited to that environment. By using sound waves of specific frequency ranges and radio waves as a remote triggering source having an infinite velocity we have been able to achieve a measuring distance accuracy of � 1 percent beyond 100 feet. Not only is our invention accurate but light weight and portable with no physical connection between the sound source and sound sensor. In areas with deep underbrush and rough terrain these features are extremely valuable to survey the land by saving time and labor. Environmental conditions such as random, low level ambient noises, rain, fog, darkness and the like do not effect its operation. Its operation has shown at least a four fold reduction in cost over manual measuring by means of tape in moderate to heavy underbrush. Also, it has proved eminently workable in conditions which completely nullify the usefulness of laser, infra-red, and radar type measuring instruments.
Persons working in the electronics art will see many possible variations to the proposed disclosed circuitry. None should be used to limit our invention which is to be measured only by the claims which follow.

TOKYO, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Asahi Group Holdings Ltd will launch a premium version of its Super Dry beer in Japan as a pickup in the economy has drinkers indulging more in upmarket brews even while overall beer consumption is at its lowest in more than two decades.
Beer sales have been hit hard by the rise of ready-to-drink cocktails and other alcoholic beverages, as well as an ageing population. Premium beers have defied the trend, however, with rising sales volumes last year that accelerated this year.
Asahi's Dry Premium will launch in Japan next February at a suggested retail price about 15 percent higher than its flagship Super Dry, Japan's best-selling beer. It will initially be available only in the domestic market.
"With 'Abenomics' we have some bright signs in the economic outlook and this is spurring growth in the premium beer market," said Tsuyoshi Morita, Asahi's head of marketing.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policy mix of fiscal and monetary stimulus has helped fuel a rise in share prices and luxury spending over the past year, while encouraging mass retailers to promote high-end consumer goods such as cashmere sweaters and gourmet coffee.
Rival brewer Suntory Holdings Ltd on Thursday raised its full-year estimate for growth in the premium beer market to 7 percent from a 4 percent projection at the start of the year.
That is in sharp contrast with Japan's overall beer market, the world's seventh largest, which is expected to shrink for a ninth year in a row to its smallest in at least two decades. Japan's four major breweries are predicting a 1 to 2 percent drop in industry-wide sales this year.
Figures through the end of November for volume sales by Japan's four big brewers show that the two with premium brands - Suntory Premium Malt's and Sapporo Holdings Ltd's Yebisu - have posted year-on-year increases, while the other two, Asahi and Kirin Holdings Co Ltd, have seen declines.

- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
Nice, Understanding People to work with
Slow comfortable pace
Love it
Less room for growth, no one leaves here.
Family company...friendly and considerate.
Working hard to become more competitive...knows its weaknesses.
Flat structure makes it easy to raise issues up the chain.
Slow mover...follower - not a leader.
Privately held so limited in the way it can compensate employees.
Slow to move ineffective employees.
Advice to Management
Leadership is working hard to make the company more competitive...need to move faster and more aggressively or will get crushed up by the competition.
Excellent benefits, great people, associates that like our product and love our customers, management that cares about the people under them, proud of what we do.
No growth, pay is OK but could be a little bit better, there is no training except for a few chosen people.
Advice to Management
Thank you for respecting everyone - keep up the good work. Keep everyone involved in the company path to the overall goal, can be done through training.

When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
So I am currently looking for a new job. I left my previous job 2 months ago because I hated it from day one and had simply had enough. Well now it is time for me to start working again! I have gone on a couple of interviews and am expecting an offer by the end of this week from at least one of them. I am 14 weeks pregnant and am freaking out because I don't know if I should tell them before I accept the job.. or wait until I've started. I just don't want to get hired and then have them feel like I deceived them and am some kind of terrible liar or something. I don't feel like my being pregnant has any affect on how capable I am of doing my job... it's a receptionist position for goodness sake. BUT I know I will have to take at least a month off if not more after the baby is born in June. UGH I just don't know how to go about this the right way. I don't want to risk not getting a job if I tell them ahead of time. I need a job!!!
Someone help! :confused:
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
That's a tough call. I can see why you are torn. I'm not really sure what the right answer is, but I feel like you need to be honest with them. I would search for an answer for day care too so you can say to them, "I am due in June, but child care is lined up starting in July so I will be back to work as quickly as I can be." So they know you plan to return.
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Here's the thing......
If you tell them you're expecting, they can't NOT hire you because you're pregnant. They can however find a reason why a different candidate is "more qualified" or a "better fit" and you won't have an recourse.
Are you deceiving them if you don't tell them you're pregnant? To me, deceiving them would be if they asked you if you were pregnant and you lied. If they don't ask you and you don't tell, then you technically aren't deceiving them.
Ultimately, it's a tough decision. You want this job and you want to start off on a good foot with your employer, but at the same time, you don't want this pregnancy to be the reason why you don't get hired. Good luck with whatever decision you decide to go with.
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Don't tell them. You might feel like a jerk for hiding it but that's absolutely your right and at least you'll be an employed jerk. Any company that would hold it against you isn't worth working for anyway.
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Coming from experience, dont say anything. I was going through interviews when I was about 15 weeks pregnant with my son. I basically HAD this job, they were giving me dates for trainings, and I told them I was pregnant. I never got a phone call again. I called back a few times and nothing.
I finally got a job when I was 7 months, and obviously pregnant. My boss hired me and had NO CLUE lmao. Such a man. He pulled me aside one day and asked and then congratulated me :P
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
This is a tough one because although they can't not hire you because of that, they can find other reasons. Although it's best to be honest with a future employer, they can't ask you during the interview even if they suspect it so you don't have to worry about lying about it.
In thinking about it, I don't even know what I would do if I was in this situation, but if I was worried I wouldn't get the job, I probably would keep it secret for now. Sometimes you just have to be selfish. If kept a secret, I definitely wouldn't tell everyone the first week after hired because then it's more like that's the reason you were hiding it. And when the time feels right, I would let my boss know first, better then them finding out from a co-worker. But you never know you could end up with an awesome boss who will be supportive of your news later on.
I hope that you are able to come up with a decision! Good luck with what you decide and KUP!
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Yes, I have to agree, do NOT TELL THEM. Yes, it sucks, it feels like you lied and I personally felt bad... but it cost me several jobs when I told them I was pregnant with Ryan. I couldnt even get hired at a fast food restaurant or a janitor after I told them, seriously. ( I had been a CNA before that, and begore that I had 6-7 years of caretaking experience running a horse rescue facility)- so I know it wasnt because I lacked job experience, and they all seemed interested until I spilled the beans. Its a hard lesson. Our bills backed up, we didnt have electrical for awhile, we went to food banks so we could eat. I even cooked over our fireplace using firewood brians grandma gave us ( this when we had no pg and e) Fortunately e both found jobs after ryan was born, but it was still hard times!
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Thank you everyone for your advice!! I feel a lot better knowing that some of you have gone through this too and I'm not the only one. I think I will keep it to myself for at least the first few weeks. Hopefully I don't start showing before then.. Lol I'm going to try my best to stop worrying so much!
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
when i started a new job while i was pregnant with Kale, i was about 6mo along but tried to hide it. when the interviewer asked me if i would need to be taking any planned leave anytime soon. i didn't want to lie to her so i said yes i was expecting a baby in about three months. that was actually no problem for her and i ended up getting the job! i have since left there lol but was releived that my pregnancy didn't have any bearing on getting or not getting.
i would say keep it honest because they appreciate that. employers may not be happy if in a few weeks your already inquiring about maternity leave. they can't legally turn you down JUST because you're pregnant anyway.
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
Don't tell. They cannot ask if you are pregnant. I was hired at a new job at 12 weeks and I told them the week I was hired. There was nothing they could do about it (they were ok with it) but at least I had the job and I still gave them enough notice to make sure my areas were covered on leave.
Re: When should I tell new employer I'm pregnant?!?!?
I'm starting a new job on Monday and haven't mentioned it yet. I'm thinking around the 3rd trimester, I'll break the news. That gives me enough time to prove myself, but also gives them enough time to know I will be gone and accommodate it. I am a little nervous that I will lose my job over leave- since I will have been there less than a year, they are not required to hold my job and the facility I am working at is notorious for layoffs- but I am just going to take it one step at a time and hope I still have a job after baby comes.

The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, may undergo a lytic or lysogenic cycle.
Learning Objective
Describe the lytic and lysogenic cycles of bacteriophages
Key Points
- Viruses are species specific, but almost every species on Earth can be affected by some form of virus.
- The lytic cycle involves the reproduction of viruses using a host cell to manufacture more viruses; the viruses then burst out of the cell.
- The lysogenic cycle involves the incorporation of the viral genome into the host cell genome, infecting it from within.
lysogenic cycle
A form of viral reproduction involving the fusion of the nucleic acid of a bacteriophage with that of a host, followed by proliferation of the resulting prophage.
lytic cycle
The normal process of viral reproduction involving penetration of the cell membrane, nucleic acid synthesis, and lysis of the host cell.
The ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell.
A virus that specifically infects bacteria.
Full Text
Different Hosts and Their Viruses
Viruses are often very specific as to which hosts and which cells within the host they will infect. This feature of a virus makes it specific to one or a few species of life on earth. So many different types of viruses exist that nearly every living organism has its own set of viruses that try to infect its cells. Even the smallest and simplest of cells, prokaryotic bacteria, may be attacked by specific types of viruses.
This transmission electron micrograph shows bacteriophages attached to a bacterial cell.
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria . Bacteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, and a few viruses are capable of carrying out both. When infection of a cell by a bacteriophage results in the production of new virions, the infection is said to be productive.
Lytic versus lysogenic cycle
A temperate bacteriophage has both lytic and lysogenic cycles. In the lytic cycle, the phage replicates and lyses the host cell. In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome, where it is passed on to subsequent generations. Environmental stressors such as starvation or exposure to toxic chemicals may cause the prophage to excise and enter the lytic cycle.
Lytic Cycle
With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion. As soon as the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect. An example of a lytic bacteriophage is T4, which infects E. coli found in the human intestinal tract. Lytic phages are more suitable for phage therapy.
Some lytic phages undergo a phenomenon known as lysis inhibition, where completed phage progeny will not immediately lyse out of the cell if extracellular phage concentrations are high.
Lysogenic Cycle
In contrast, the lysogenic cycle does not result in immediate lysing of the host cell. Those phages able to undergo lysogeny are known as temperate phages. Their viral genome will integrate with host DNA and replicate along with it fairly harmlessly, or may even become established as a plasmid. The virus remains dormant until host conditions deteriorate, perhaps due to depletion of nutrients; then, the endogenous phages (known as prophages) become active. At this point they initiate the reproductive cycle, resulting in lysis of the host cell. As the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the virus is reproduced in all of the cell's offspring. An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli.
Latency Period
Viruses that infect plant or animal cells may also undergo infections where they are not producing virions for long periods. An example is the animal herpes viruses, including herpes simplex viruses, which cause oral and genital herpes in humans. In a process called latency, these viruses can exist in nervous tissue for long periods of time without producing new virions, only to leave latency periodically and cause lesions in the skin where the virus replicates. Even though there are similarities between lysogeny and latency, the term lysogenic cycle is usually reserved to describe bacteriophages.

It's a pleasant walk along the coastal path that winds from Puerto Banús to the sophisticated Puente Romano resort. The hotel sits on an ancient route from Rome to Cádiz, tucked away from Marbella's madding crowds. Its name is a nod to the Roman bridge found at the heart of the complex, which is a cluster of Andalucian- style apartments that spill down on to the beach.

Over the course of his 18 years in show biz, having cracked into popular culture as a pre-teen Mickey Mouse Club star and blossoming into A-list Hollywood's most idiosyncratic yet compulsively watchable young Serious Actor, Ryan Gosling has portrayed an eclectic grab bag of disturbed young men and winsome doofuses, violent sociopaths and studly lotharios, the overwhelming majority of his roles in low budget indie features.
Despite breakout parts in mainstream hits such as 2004's The Notebook or this year's ensemble comedyCrazy, Stupid Love, Gosling has come to stand as something like the anti-Shia LaBeouf – a guy with a seeming allergy to big budget fare, the strict avoidance of superhero movies and a proven ability to deliver compelling performances in exquisite little films such as the tortured romantic breakdown Blue Valentine and the sex doll dramedy Lars and the Real Girl.
