Some users on the Google Product Forums have been complaining about battery drain issues with their Android Wear smartwatch after the Android 5.1.1 update. While the issue was first seen on the Sony SmartWatch 3, it was immediately apparent that this wasn't just limited to one device. Users are suggesting that a reboot fixes the issue to some extent, but bugs like these do not get resolved without a formal update.
The good news is that this update could be incoming as Google has officially acknowledged its existence on the Product Forums page. The company has promised to work on this and bring a resolution to the customers at the earliest.
Given that some cases are seeing a resolution with a simple reboot, it's likely that this is a RAM related issue. This is quite common on Android devices and even more so on Android Wear given that it only has minimal RAM on board.
Are you seeing battery related issues with your Android Wear smartwatch after the Android 5.1.1 update? Head over to Google's official page below and make your complaint known.

This invention relates to photometric chlorine analysis.
Chlorine analysis has wide commercial applicability, and is useful for testing drinking water, pool and spa water, aquarium water, industrial and environmental water, and for other types of water testing. Medical applicability includes testing of equipment such as dialysis equipment to confirm removal of chlorine and chloramine contaminants. Chlorine can be present in water as free available chlorine and as combined available chlorine. Both forms can be determined together as total available chlorine. Combined available chlorine exists as monochloramine, dichloramine and other chloro derivatives. If monochloramine is present in a sample, its interference with free chlorine analysis is dependent on sample temperature, relative concentration of monochloramine to free chlorine, and the time required to perform the analysis.
Quantitative methods for chlorine analysis that rely upon the evaluation of sample color are described in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 19th Edition, 1995 (4500-Cl), and include a DPD calorimetric method. According to the DPD colorimetric method (4500-Cl G) for free chlorine, 0.5 ml of a phosphate buffer solution and 0.5 ml of a DPD indicator solution are added to a photometer cell, 10 ml of a sample is added to the photometer cell and mixed to provide the sample with an appropriate pH and promote the color reaction, and the sample color is read immediately using appropriate photometric equipment. An immediate reading is desirable for free chlorine because of monochloramine interference and color complex degradation, which are reduced or avoided by taking the reading within one minute, especially within 30 to 45 seconds, of combining the sample and the analytical agents. As can be deduced, the less time to perform a free chlorine analysis, the more accurate the analysis should be.
The DPD indicator solution is prepared by dissolving an appropriate amount of DPD oxalate, DPD sulfate pentahydrate or anhydrous DPD sulfate in water containing sulfuric acid and disodium EDTA. In the case of the anhydrous sulfate, 0.5 ml of the DPD indicator solution contains 0.00055 g of the DPD salt.
For accurate results, pH control is essential to minimize interferences. Too low a pH may enhance monochloramine interference with free chlorine analysis. According to this US EPA accepted, DPD colorimetric standard method, the phosphate buffer solution is prepared using an about 2:1 weight ratio of potassium phosphate monobasic anhydrous to sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous, with disodium EDTA, in an amount sufficient to provide a typical 10 ml sample with a pH in the range of about 6.2 to 6.5. The EDTA additive may advantageously overcome one or more test interferences.
For total chlorine, about 0.1 g of potassium iodide may after the free chlorine analysis, be added to the sample, and after 2 minutes, the sample color is photometrically analyzed. US EPA accepted method 330.5 for total chlorine in natural and treated waters, corresponds to the foregoing total chlorine analysis except that potassium iodide is added with the DPD indicator and phosphate buffer solutions. Method 330.5 specifies the use of DPD oxalate or sulfate, and measurement after 2 minutes.
The photometric equipment is appropriately calibrated in advance. A spectrophotometer for use at a wavelength of 515 nm and providing a 1 cm or longer light path, or a filter photometer with a wavelength measurement range of 490 to 530 nm, and a 1 cm or longer light path may be used.
In the photometric analysis art, after a BLANK reading, a photometer cell is often removed from a photometer for the addition of the analytical agents to the cell, and thereafter is re-inserted in the photometer for the actual reading. To minimize variability of measurements, a user is therefore instructed to re-insert the photometer cell so that the cell has the same orientation. Otherwise, variability in the geometry and quality of the cell glass can cause variability of measurements. Furthermore, the exterior of a photometric cell should be free of smudges or fingerprints or a water drop to ensure an accurate reading.
Commercially available, prior art technology that is based upon DPD colorimetric methodology, includes powder "pillows" (carboxylate salt, DPD salt, and sodium phosphate dibasic mixed together), and evacuated reagent ampoules with frangible tips. This prior art technology provides the analytical agents as a mixture, and specifies photometric analysis of free chlorine within one minute after combining the analytical agents and sample. For total chlorine analysis, KI reagent is also used.
Another prior art colorimetric technology for water testing in which DPD is used for chlorine analysis, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,004,820 to Brayton. That patented technology is based upon a closed system. As explained by Brayton, a problem with powder "pillows" is that while a "pillow" contains the precise amount of reagent needed, reagent after opening the "pillow", can be a safety hazard through hand contact or dust inhalation, or can be partially spilled with resultant possible test error.
The commercially available, prior art evacuated glass ampoules contain a pre-measured mixture of the analytical agents. In use, the ampoule tip is broken off. Contact with a broken ampoule tip can result in injury.
Other commercially available, prior art colorimetric technology is based upon crushable DPD tablets. Certain brands of these tablets include a mixture of a DPD salt and boric acid. A problem with DPD tablets, as well as with DPD powder, is that not all solids may dissolve within the specified allowed time. Moreover, incomplete solids dissolution can be expected to be worse when a sample is cold, with any cloudiness from undissolved solids potentially enhanced in the winter. As indicated, if additional time for complete solids dissolution is allowed, color complex degradation and/or monochloramine interference may result in loss of precision. Undissolved solids can lead not only to a concern about the accuracy of test results but also to lack of reproducibility. Also, DPD tablets need to be crushed, and crushing the tablets introduces an extra and time-consuming step.
As illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 3,937,613 to Rosicky and U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,031 to Fisher et al, prior art reagent delivery devices that include a support such as an inert plastic strip or the like, and that release analytical agents for calorimetric analysis of chlorine are known. The sufficiently rigid support of such devices may be used to stir the sample, and thereafter the sample color is calorimetrically analyzed.
Rosicky teaches away from the use of DPD for chlorine analysis, for reasons of toxicity and allergenicity, and describes the combination of p-ethyl-oxyethylamino-aniline (EOAA) and non-ionic high molecular weight propyleneglycol ethyoxylates (PGE 8300 in particular) as an impregnant for filter paper fixed to a support, or as a coating on a support. The ethoxylates are described as a dispersing agent and protectant against oxidation, and as non-reactive with chlorine. Rosicky teaches a 20-40% w/v loading of PGE 8300 in an impregnating or coating solution, and visual comparison of the sample color with a color scale.
For chlorine analysis, Fisher et al (Example 6) teach the use of polyvinyl alcohol as a water soluble embedding polymer for DPD sulfate, and a waiting time of 10 minutes, instead of an immediate reading. The polyvinyl alcohol embedding polymer dissolves in the sample and releases the DPD sulfate. Thus, it appears that DPD release is retarded by the embedding polymer. In Example 6, Fischer et al disclose photometric analysis of the sample color, but do not disclose a phosphate buffer system.
Despite the foregoing advances, there continues to be a need for touch-free chlorine analysis of water that will advantageously minimize manipulations and reduce variability of measurements. Beneficially, the touch-free chlorine analysis will provide quick free chlorine analysis, thereby reducing monochloramine interference with free chorine analysis. Advantageously, the touch free-chlorine analysis will be based upon an accepted standard method for compliance testing, and in particular provide for immediate spectrophotometric analysis of free chlorine. Advantageously, there will no longer be concerns about powder spillage, or about whether adequate solids dissolution has taken place or whether undissolved solids from incomplete solids dissolution may interfere.
In accordance with the present invention, water soluble analytical agents for chlorine analysis are delivered into a sample from a support that is beneficially moved in the sample to assist delivery and mixing, and the sample color is photometrically analyzed. Advantageously, the present invention provides an undissolved solids-free sample for photometry.
Beneficially, manipulations can be minimized and variability of measurements can be reduced by taking a blank reading, by analytical agent delivery and mixing, and by photometric chlorine analysis without removal of the photometric cell from the photometric instrument. In accordance with the invention, a useful DPD salt is delivered into the sample, and accurate photometric analysis of free chlorine is achieved within one minute of, beneficially about 20 seconds after, introducing the delivery end of the support into the sample. Accordingly, the touch-free chlorine analysis of the present invention is advantageously based upon an accepted standard method for compliance testing, and in particular upon US EPA accepted standard methodology.
For pH control of the sample, the support beneficially delivers a suitable water soluble buffer system for buffering the sample to an appropriate pH. When the buffer system is a phosphate buffer system, it may be advantageous for the DPD salt and the phosphate buffer system to be physically separate from one another on the support.
For total chlorine analysis, a useful iodide salt is delivered into the sample, and after mixing and the elapse of an appropriate period of time, the sample color is photometrically analyzed for total chlorine content. If a free chlorine reading is also desired, manipulations can be minimized and variability of measurements can be reduced by the photometric cell remaining in the photometer after its insertion for a blank reading in preparation for the free chlorine reading, until its removal after the total chlorine reading.
A reagent delivery device in accordance with the present invention, includes the support, and on the support, the DPD salt. In accordance with the invention, the reagent delivery device effectively delivers the DPD salt into the sample for photometric analysis within one minute of the DPD salt-bearing portion of the device being introduced into the sample. In an advantageous embodiment, a fibrous matrix impregnated with the DPD salt, is fixed to the delivery end of the support. Alternatively, a suitable water soluble carrier that delivers the DPD salt by dissolution in the sample, may be used. Also, the DPD salt may be on the support without a carrier such as a fibrous matrix or a water soluble carrier.
It is essential to the present invention, that accurate photometric analysis of free chlorine within one minute of introducing the DPD salt-bearing portion of the device into the sample, is not in any way prevented. Thus, for DPD salt delivery to be retarded as taught by Fisher et al, would be contrary to this invention.
It can be recognized from the preceding description, that an inventive kit or apparatus beneficially includes a reagent delivery device as described, a suitable photometer cell, and appropriate photometric equipment.
In the drawing and in detailed description of the invention that follows, there are essentially shown and described only preferred embodiments of this invention, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated of carrying out this invention. As will be realized, this invention is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawing and the detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
Reference is now made to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of the specification of the present invention.
Beneficially, the chlorine analysis of the present invention is touch-free, and analysis manipulations can be minimized and variability of measurements can be reduced. Furthermore, the present invention advantageously provides quick free chlorine analysis, thereby reducing monochloramine interference with free chorine analysis. Beneficially, the present invention is based upon a suitable DPD salt, and an immediate photometric reading of free chlorine. As a result, the touch-free chlorine analysis of the present invention, is beneficially based upon US EPA accepted standard methodology.
Advantageously, the photometry sample is free of undissolved solids from incomplete solids dissolution. As a result, user confidence replaces any concerns about whether adequate solids dissolution has taken place or whether undissolved solids may interfere with photometric accuracy.
In accordance with the touch-free chlorine analysis of the present invention, user handling of reagent powders or tablets or glass ampoules is eliminated. There are no more tablets to crush, powders to spill, glass ampoules to break, or dispensers that release irritating dust, and there is no potential for injury from broken glass ampoules. Any concern about the effect of any powder spillage or loss on precision, is removed.
Referring to
Any other suitable support that provides stiffness for effective sample mixing, such as a rod, in particular of square or rectangular cross-section, may be used. In any event, it will be recognized that the shape of the support is not limited to an elongated shape, although an elongated shape is advantageous for delivery and mixing.
Various inert materials may be used as the support, with preferred materials for economy being available at low cost. Suitably, the support may be made of, for example, PVC.
An analytical agent delivery device in accordance with the present invention, beneficially delivers appropriate water soluble analytical agents for chlorine analysis into an aqueous sample to be analyzed. Conveniently, to this end, disposed on a first face 14 of support 12 of device 10 is a carrier 16 for delivery of a suitable N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPD) salt, from which a carrier 26 is laterally spaced apart, and disposed on an opposite face 18 of the support is a carrier 36. Carriers 26,36 deliver a suitable water soluble buffer system into the sample to provide the sample with an appropriate pH. Conveniently, DPD carrier 16 is located near a delivery end 22 of the support, and buffer system carrier 36 may be located closer to delivery end 22 than buffer system carrier 26.
As can be recognized, a single carrier may be used in place of carriers 16,26,36 and the analytical agents accordingly combined together. However, separation of the DPD salt from a phosphate buffer system tends to increase analytical agent stability and therefore to improve test accuracy.
Conveniently, carriers 16,26,36 may be water absorbent fibrous pads that maintain structural integrity during analysis, and that are impregnated with analytical agents. Importantly, a suitable fibrous pad should be non-linting, that is, should not release fibers into the sample during the analysis procedure. Advantageously, a suitable fibrous pad is thin so as to benefit rapid analytical agent delivery, but of sufficient thickness and fiber mass to benefit loading a sufficient amount of analytical agent. Materials useful as suitable fibrous pads are known, and include cellulosic paper commercially available as a filtration material. Particularly useful filtration material for use as a fibrous pad is available from Schleicher and Schuell, and has a thickness in the range of about 0.1 to 0.6 mm. A greater pad thickness may be used, provided that enough analytical agent is delivered from the pad for immediate photometric analysis of free chlorine with accuracy.
Referring now to
In the case of fibrous pads, instead of using carrier 146 to increase analytical agent loading, relatively greater pad thickness can be used, but as indicated, an increase in pad thickness may reduce the speed of analytical agent delivery. Therefore, it will generally be advantageous to select fibrous pad carriers of adequate ribbon length and width to deliver an effective amount of the analytical agent of interest. It will be readily recognized that other carrier variations may be used, and that in the case of a high chlorine concentration, a sample may be diluted, in which case the dilution factor must be considered.
Referring again to
If desired or appropriate, a reagent delivery device in accordance with the present invention, may be loaded with an amount of the DPD salt in excess of that used in the 4500-Cl G methodology for a 10 ml water sample. An excess loading may range from about three to ten times or more than that used in the 4500-Cl G methodology. In such case, complete delivery of the DPD salt into a sample may not be necessary for immediate photometric analysis with accuracy. For purposes of this description, by the term "immediate photometric analysis" is meant photometric analysis within one minute of introduction of the delivery end of the reagent delivery device into the sample.
Prior to or in preparation for analysis, water sample pH, alkalinity and acidity should be known or determined, and if not within the desired ranges, the sample should be appropriately adjusted. Beneficially, carriers 26,36 deliver an effective amount of a suitable water soluble, buffer system to buffer a sample to an appropriate pH to minimize or avoid interference with chlorine analysis. Generally speaking, it is desirable for the sample to be buffered to a pH of about 6.2 to 6.5. Consistent with the chemistry of the 4500-Cl G methodology, phosphate salts may be used as the buffer system, and a reagent delivery device in accordance with the present invention, may be loaded with an about 2:1 weight ratio of potassium phosphate monobasic anhydrous to sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous in an amount sufficient, when delivered, to buffer the sample to a pH of about 6.2 to 6.5.
Fibrous pad impregnation may be accomplished in any of several ways. A suitable way is to pass a carrier material through an impregnation bath containing the particular chemicals so that the carrier becomes saturated with the impregnation solution. The carrier may be then dried at room temperature or at an elevated temperature. Advantageously, the concentration of the chemicals in an impregnation solution and the residence time of the carrier material in the solution are selected to ensure impregnation of an appropriate loading. Generally speaking, residence time will vary from about two to forty seconds, depending upon the loading desired and the carrier. If desired or appropriate, the carrier may be dipped more than once to increase the loading.
The DPD salt-impregnated fibrous pad may incorporate a water soluble barrier. A benefit is that it tends to seal the DPD salt within the fibrous pad. As a result, abrasive loss of the DPD salt from the pad may be minimized, and the barrier tends to isolate the DPD salt in the pad from any user or oxygen contact.
A mildly acidic, water soluble analytical agent may be used to form the water soluble barrier. By "mildly acidic" is meant for purposes of this description, that the barrier-forming agent has a pH in water in the range of about 3 to 5.5. A useful water soluble barrier-forming agent, as well as other analytical agents or materials used in the subject invention, cannot interfere with test accuracy by reaction with chlorine, and should not prevent immediate photometric analysis of free chlorine.
A very suitable mildly acidic, barrier-forming agent is a water soluble organic acid having a pH in water in the range of about 3 to 5, and this type of agent is not polymeric. Especially illustrative are water soluble carboxylic acids having a pH in the range of about 3 to 4, such as 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid. A useful amount of the barrier-forming agent will vary depending upon the particular agent selected. When used, the water soluble barrier-forming agent may be added to the DPD salt impregnation solution in an amount ranging from about 0.5 to 10 wt. % or more, conveniently from about 1 to 5 wt. %. Caution should be exercised in that an excessive amount, may negatively impact the speed of DPD salt delivery from the fibrous pad.
Furthermore, consistent with the chemistry of 4500-Cl G methodology, EDTA disodium dihydrate may be used as a coagent, for delivery during analysis in an effective amount for overcoming one or more test interferences. If desired, about 0.08 to 1 wt. % thereof may be added to a buffer impregnation solution for fibrous pads 26,36.
In accordance with the subject invention and referring again to
A particularly useful coagent for the iodide salt is a polymeric agent for stabilizing the iodide salt. For this purpose, an iodide salt may be combined with an effective amount of a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for stabilizing the iodide salt. An especially useful PVP has an average molecular weight of 60,000, and is advantageously used as a mixture of 50% PVP k-60 in water with 50% methanol. Conveniently, approximately equal amounts of the iodide salt and the PVP k-60/methanol mixture may be used to impregnate carrier 146.
Conveniently, fibrous pads may be attached to the support in a variety of ways. A suitable conventional method is by use of a double-faced adhesive-material.
If appropriate or desired, carriers 16,26,36,116, 126,136,146 may be impregnated with or otherwise carry, one or more other agents that may be of benefit for chlorine analysis. In the case of a DPD fibrous pad, exemplary agents may include butylated polyvinylpyrrolidone (commercially available as GANEX P-904 from ISP Technologies Inc), dispersing and/or wetting agents such as a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer having a wt. % of polyoxyethylene of about 80% and a molecular weight of 7680-9510 (commercially available as Lutrol� F 68 from BASF), and other wetting agents such as DOSS. A suitable amount for a DPD pad impregnation solution will vary depending upon the particular agent selected and analysis considerations, with a typical amount ranging from about 0.1 to 10 wt. %. Caution should be exercised in that an excessive amount, may negatively impact the speed of DPD salt delivery from the fibrous pad. As mentioned, the less time to perform a free chlorine analysis, the more accurate the analysis should be. If desired, the DPD fibrous matrix may include only the DPD salt.
Instead of a fibrous matrix, a carrier for an analytical agent may be a suitable water soluble material that by dissolution in the sample, delivers the analytical agent rapidly enough for immediate photometric analysis of free chlorine with accuracy, and that forms an optically clear solution. It has been found that the previously described, mildly acidic barrier-forming agent may be used as a carrier for the DPD salt. Criteria for a suitable water soluble carrier include a commercially acceptable drying time without the use of an elevated drying temperature, and preferably that the carrier is not tacky after drying. It is not necessary that a suitable water soluble carrier be mildly acidic, nor it is necessary that a suitable carrier be non-polymeric. However, it is essential that accurate photometric analysis of free chlorine within one minute of immersing the DPD salt-delivery end of the support in the sample, is not in any way prevented. Thus, retarding the release of DPD sulfate using an embedding polymer as taught by Fischer et al, is contrary to the present invention.
As indicated, it is essential to the present invention, that the DPD salt be delivered by the reagent delivery strip into the sample for immediate photometric analysis of free chlorine with accuracy. As described, this objective may be achieved using a suitable fibrous matrix or a suitable water soluble material as a carrier for the DPD salt. Furthermore, it has been found that the foregoing inventive objective may be achieved without the use of a carrier. DPD salt may be deposited on the support, as illustrated by
When an analytical agent is deposited on a support with a suitable water soluble material as the carrier, the relative ratio will depend upon considerations that include the desired analytical agent loading, and can be expected to vary widely. Beneficially, to obtain an excess loading of the DPD salt, the amount of the DPD salt may exceed that of the carrier, and in particular may substantially exceed the amount of the carrier. For example, a ratio (weight) of DPD salt to carrier in the range of about 4:1 to 10:1 and greater may be used. Consistent with rapid DPD salt release for immediate photometric analysis of free chlorine with accuracy, the amount of the water soluble carrier should generally be minimized, and, if desired or appropriate, referring again to
As indicated, according to US EPA accepted standard methodology, a water sample size of 10 ml is used. However, other sample sizes may, if desired, be used. For example, a 25 ml sample may be used.
The time of contact of the water sample with a delivery device in accordance with the present invention, is selected to provide sufficient time for analytical agent delivery and the color reaction, using the support for mixing. Referring to reagent delivery device 10, a relatively narrower strip that carries a relatively lower loading of the DPD salt, is benefitted by a relatively longer contact time, whereas a relatively wider strip that carries a relatively higher loading of the DPD salt, requires a relatively shorter dip time. For instance, a 6 mm wide strip (6 mm wide fibrous pad 16, relatively lower loading of DPD salt) is benefitted by a contact time of 30 seconds, whereas a contact time of 10 seconds may be adequate for a 12 mm wide strip (12 mm wide fibrous pad 16, relatively higher loading of DPD salt). A highly preferred time for accurate photometric analysis of free chlorine, is about 20 seconds from the introduction of the delivery end of the reagent delivery device into a sample. A longer time can be allowed, but because of color complex degradation and monochloramine interference, a free chlorine reading should be made within one minute, and desirably within about 30 to 45 seconds.
Referring again to
Advantageously, chlorine analysis in accordance with the present invention, is useful for a wide range of sample temperatures. For instance, a very cold water sample near 0� C., can be accurately analyzed, as well as temperatures well above 25� C. Consideration must, of course, be given to higher sample temperatures increasing the tendency for chloramines to react and hence interfering with accurate free chlorine analysis, and to higher temperatures increasing color fading.
Suitable photometric cells and photometric instruments for the analysis are commercially available. Suitable photometric cells are beneficially made of glass. As previously explained, useful photometric instruments in accordance with US EPA accepted DPD colorimetric standard methodology, are a spectrophotometer for use at a wavelength of 515 nm and providing a light path of 1 cm or longer, and a filter photometer equipped with a filter having maximum transmission in the wavelength range of 490 to 530 nm and providing a light path of 1 cm or longer.
For US EPA compliance, a useful photometric instrument meets requirements for colorimeters as found in test procedures approved for the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems compliance monitoring programs. A US EPA accepted photometric instrument may be used with an approved test procedure such as DPD calorimetric method 4500-Cl G, without additional approval.
Referring to
Throughout this description which includes the Examples that follow, all parts and percentages are weight percent unless otherwise specified.
With reference again to reagent delivery device 10 of
In a preferred method of use and referring in particular to
The photometric cell is not moved or disturbed after being inserted in the photometer for zeroing the instrument. After its insertion, the cell remains in the photometer during the entire analysis procedure until its removal after the free chlorine reading.
In this Example, reagent delivery device 10 corresponds to that used in Example 1 except that the DPD pad impregnation solution includes 9.8 wt. % of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid. Following the method of Example 1, a free chlorine value of 1.69 mg/L is determined for the water sample.
In this Example, reagent delivery device 10 corresponds to that used in Example 2 except as now explained. The DPD sulfate fibrous pad is omitted, and instead, the support carries a mass 16 that is a mixture of DPD sulfate and 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid. Mass 16 is prepared by depositing a small quantity of the DPD impregnation solution of Example 2 on support 12, and then drying. The loading of DPD sulfate is 0.0164 g, and the ratio of the DPD sulfate to the propionic acid is about 5:1. Following the method of Example 1, a free chlorine value of 1.82 mg/L is determined for the water sample.
In this Example and referring to
In this Example, a water sample different from that of Examples 1 to 3 is used, and reagent delivery device 10 corresponds to that used in Example 1, except that the DPD pad impregnation solution includes 9.3% butylated polyvinylpyrrolidone instead of the propionic acid. Referring to
In this Example, the water sample and photometric instrument used in Example 5 are used. Reagent delivery device 10 corresponds to that used in Example 1, except that the DPD pad impregnation solution lacks the propionic acid. Accordingly, carrier 16 is impregnated only with DPD sulfate. Following the method of Example 1, a free chlorine value of 3.15 mg/L is determined.
Not only are the reacted photometry samples free of undissolved solids and marked by clarity, but also blanking, analytical agent delivery and mixing, and photometric analysis are all carried out in the same photometric cell quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, for a photometer cell to remain in a photometer during an entire analysis procedure after its insertion for zeroing the instrument, until its removal after a desired reading or readings, avoids concerns about reproducibility due to variability in cell glass, or smudges or fingerprints or water drops on cells as a result of cell removal and re-insertion, or the analysis procedure.
Referring again to
In a preferred method of use, and referring to
Reagent delivery device 10 corresponds to that used in Example 1. For free chlorine analysis and referring to
For total chlorine, a second reagent delivery device (not shown) that includes an iodide salt carrier corresponding to that of carrier 146 of device 110, is used. After the free chlorine reading, with cell 50 continuing to remain in photometer 60, the delivery end of the second reagent delivery device is introduced into the 10 ml sample and moved back and forth for 20 seconds to deliver the iodide salt and further mix the sample. Immediately thereafter, the second delivery device is withdrawn from the sample. Referring again to
Beneficially, as described, photometer cell 50 remains in photometer 60 after its insertion for a blank reading in preparation for the free chlorine reading, until its removal after the total chlorine reading.
Advantageously, the inventive technology minimizes manipulations, which reduces the time and labor required for analysis, and provides an optimized blank reading, even with the cell exterior being wet or smudged. Furthermore, the inventive technology provides quick results and thereby decreases monochloramine interference. Moreover, the inventive technology assures user confidence. Beneficial applications of the technology include not only those applications outlined earlier but also applications in food processing areas.
The present invention may be carried out with various modifications without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. Accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.

A Trouble of Red Jennies is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Acquisition Edit
Becomes available upon completing the Red Jenny and the Bad Goods operation. Other conditions include having an Influence level of 7 and speaking with Sera about what she believes her network achieves.
Operation text Edit
I will never understand how they function with the same name.
A memo from Leliana, written on a letter from Sera:
Sometimes we trade off baddies.
Some nob learns your tricks,
Message another "Red Jenny",
Now you're twice as hard to catch.
Looks like magic, except no demons.
And no magic, I suppose.
Anyway, the caravan we took over?
There's two leads on that, from
Two other Jennies. Good ones, too.
Simple sketches of the other Red Jennnies and their locations are scribbled below. Their mustaches seem improbable.
Nevarra - Johi
Tantervale - Charade
Advisor suggestionsEdit
Josephine - 1:00:00 Edit
Supplied from Nevarra? I can leverage the Pentaghast name to manipulate to a degree. But perhaps we needn't mention it to Cassandra.
Leliana - 0:48:00 Edit
Funded from Tantervale? They may be open to an alliance after the trouble in Kirkwall.
Cullen - N/A Edit
Not participating in this mission.
Results Edit
Josephine Edit
How fascinating to receive help through seemingly random means. So it seems we have made a friend of a Red Jenny in Nevarra.
Leliana Edit
I believe we are now in the favor of a Red Jenny in the city of Tantervale ... as near as it is possible to tell ...
Rewards Edit
Josephine Edit
- Unlocks Red Jenny and the Imposters operation.
Leliana Edit
- Unlocks Red Jenny and the Tantervale Charade operation.
Note: Red Jenny and the Imposters rewards between 95-190 gold and Sera approval, whereas Red Jenny and the Tantervale Charade nets only Sera approval.

Do you struggle to get out of bed and get going? Do you wish you were excited to get out of bed in the morning? What if you could miraculously wake up tomorrow and every area of your life was transformed? How would life be different? Would you be happier? Healthier? More successful? Which of your problems would be solved?
What if I told you there is a simple secret that is guaranteed to transform literally every area of your life faster than you ever believed? What if I told you it would take only nine minutes a day?
Enter The Morning Routine Blueprint. What's now being practiced by thousands of people around the world could perhaps be the simplest approach to creating the life you've always wanted.
In 2012, I didn't even know what a morning routine was. I'd drink coffee as soon as I got out of bed and check email early in the morning, and I didn't think twice about it.
Then I realized something.
A big reason most people aren't successful is they fail to follow a daily routine. Instead they start each day hoping they will have enough time to make progress on their goals. I used to be a perfect example.
But after years of experimenting, I realized what a difference having a morning routine makes. See, if you closely examined the world's most successful people, you'd see they start each day in an energized state, ready to accomplish any goal. What's their secret?
Like brushing your teeth, once you get in the habit of doing something, it no longer becomes a task; it's just something you do. Successful people are able to focus on their tasks because they already have built habits into their mornings. And I want to help you do the same.

Selena Gomez received her first award nomination this morning when the MTV European Music Award nominees were made public.Selena Gomez who is the lead vocals for her band Selena Gomez and The Scene received a nomination for Best Push Act.
Selena will have to battle pop sensation Justin Bieber, B.o.B, Ke$ha, Jason Derulo and Alexandra Burke for the award. The ceremony will take place in Caja Magica in Madrid, Spain on November 7th.
In a related news story, She is recently told British press that she protects her voice for every performance and practice with a gallop of olive oil!
She said "Before I go on stage, I drink olive oil,- It's disgusting, but it's good for your throat. Then I grab my band and we do vocal warm ups and dance."
Selena Gomez also helps to "protect" her band with another ritual, "We put ours hands together and say a little prayer [before each show]," she added .

How to drink wine at home?
To be honest, there cannot be one standard way to drink wine at home, or elsewhere. Even the wine connoisseurs share different stories on wine drinking, and how a beginner should approach a bottle of wine at home or bar. However, with this post, we do want to share a few tips that we compiled from a couple of experienced drinkers, and hope you can benefit from them.
A commitment to drinking
Those who love wine drink it often, just like they have lunches or dinners. However, by drinking often, we don't mean drinking a lot; you can take a glass of wine with the dinner. Two people – preferably a couple – can finish a bottle of wine happily rather than woozily.
A commitment to drinking wine (preferably wine from the top liquor brands in India) is much more important that an expensive glassware or hundreds of other wine drinking rituals.
You don't need a lot of wine bottles
Drinking at home should be a pleasurable experience. Anytime is a good time for taking a few sips of your favourite drink. And you also don't need to own a lot of wine to drink it regularly; just have a mixed case of whites, reds, and one or two sparklers. Replace as needed.
Invest in quality wines; most of them are not expensive. Speak to the man at the wine shop and see how he helps you pick from the top liquor brands in India, within your budget.
Basic wine drinking rituals
- Look at the wine – tilt the glass a bit and see how the color of the drink changes from the center to its edges.
- Swirl it around in the glass – this little movement will help the aromas open up and reach your nose.
- Sniff the drink – bring the wine a little close to your nose and smell it.
- Sip it – take the first sip; don't swallow it; roll it all over your mouth so that you can feel totally feel it.
We're done here; try out the tips that we've shared in this article to enhancing your wine drinking experience.
Bonus tip – if money is not a big issue, invest in a quality glassware; you can easily buy one from an online store. Also, pick your bottles from the top liquor brands in India. Liquor group Pernod Ricard India is totally trusted name in India and worldwide for top quality beverages. Talk to the salesperson at the wine shop for more.
Enhance your wine drinking experienced by opting for top liquor brands in India and tips offered by drinking connoisseurs. For more on wine drinking or liquor group Pernod Ricard India, please read our other articles.

Marissa - First Visit
Released: August 26, 2014
Bonus Update: Mallory called me up one day and told me she had a new friend who was interested in sucking off a bunch of guys at the Gloryhole. I asked her if she gave good head and Mallory said "I don't know but she eats good pussy!". That's a story for later but Marissa does talk about it a bit during the interview. Marissa just moved here from Texas and she brought big Texan blowjob lips with her. She has been here for months and never got laid so she couldn't wait to jump on a nice hard cock from a complete stranger. I think we need to get her and Mallory together in the booth and theater room. What do you guys think about that?

Hale Kepani is an easy stroll via Haili Street, past Lyman House museum to historic downtown. Enjoy a beautiful view of Hilo Bay as you meander along. Catch glimpses of Mauna Kea on cloudless mornings on your return. Come to cooler Hilo, escape the vog of Kailua-Kona, the jungle heat and commute to Puna. Custom home with generous flowing floorplan, sits across 2 lots in this quaint older residential area above town. Spacious layout with livable lanais and enclosed garden for all to enjoy. Comfortable for families, safe for children and quiet for seniors. Easy painless commute to university, beach parks and greater Hilo area.
Returned to live in Hilo in 1984 after mainland educations to raise our three children. This was the best of small town living: walking to school and all afternoon sports and activities.
Julie Ann Wilson purchased this house in 1992
This custom home built in1962, was purchased for extended ohana (family), a stone's throw from original family home, we enjoyed grandparents nearby and space for visiting friends and family. The location of our homes enabled us to enjoy small town living with everything conveniently available to us. Minimal driving allows us to save on time and gasoline.
This home is a custom design with no steps throughout, spacious rooms and fully equipped for a comfortable vacation. Convenient location is minutes away from all the services, shops, museums and activities in Hilo. BIG ISLAND easily accessible: hike a live volcano, enjoy an ocean snorkel and wander through a rainforest in a single day. Zip across Saddle Road to West side to shop and explore and be home for dinner.
Wonderful convenient location, lovely spacious home and friendly accommodating hosts.
Your home away from home. Especially perfect for older adults who prefer stairless, easy access. Great for families, with a spacious yard and easy quick stroll downtown. This is one of the first VRBO vacation homes in Hilo, operating since 2001, with quality accommodation at reasonable cost.
I spent one full month in Halekepani House and I enjoyed it immensely. It is vast and comfortable, designed by people who wanted to live in it. You can tell from many details.
Bedrooms have their own patio, with the biggest one suitable for outdoor dining and accessible also from the kitchen. The garden goes all around the property. The furniture meets so well with the spirit of the house, which then hosts all the tools, books, ornaments as collected in a lifetime, so you feel you are living in some close friend's house who is temporarily abroad. And very friendly are indeed the owners, Julie and Samuel, who live in another house just across the street. The street and the whole area is very peaceful, no through traffic, no disturbing noise, just bird calls … I wish I could return anytime soon in Halekepani.
We were spoiled with this house...it was lovely and accommodated our needs perfectly. We were a family of 6 traveling with ages 9-90. We all found the house easy to live in and gorgeous and even better than that were the owners! They attended to our every need and we felt like we were staying in a home, which it is. Hilo is very attractive and easy to get around from this location. We could even see the fireworks in the bay from a couple of blocks away. If you are looking to be in a homey, well appointed atmosphere with wonderful owners, within easy walking distance to downtown Hilo, I would choose this house first!
We rented this home for an extended period during the winter 2013-14. Hale Kepani is a turn key home with complete facilities for comfortable living - well appointed dining room for entertaining, home entertainment system, an extensive private library containing a room full of contemporary fiction and nonfiction, not a "swap shelf". In addition to books, there is an extensive collection of DVDs, music, and games for children of all ages. And with all this, best time is spent on the lanais with breezes. One is an honored guest in someone's home.
Ala Muku street is a short way up the hill from downtown. The area is older residential with easy access to town. Hilo is a small city ( about 50,000) and easy to get around. The street is a dead end so traffic is a minimum and located near a veterans memorial cemetery. Now and then, one hears honor guards and taps mid morning. A number of schools dot the vicinity so the afternoon sounds of children are heard. On the other hand, the airport and most of the "big box" traffic are on the other side of the city a couple miles away; there when needed, out of site and sound otherwise. Ideal from our perspective.
The owners live across the street with very busy lives of their own -- farming, professions and family interests which take them away much of the time, yet one or another was always available when needed.
For those in need of the big west side Hawaii beaches, honky-tonk tourist stuff, and high end restaurants, Kona, Waimea, South Point, the rain forest, and Volcano are wonderful day trips thanks to an excellent road system including a new, high speed saddle road connecting the island's east and west coasts. Kona International Airport, now an hour and 15 minutes away is a viable alternative to Hilo International.
We are sure we will be returning to Hale Kepani.
I hesitate to call this a rental property.... it was my comfortable home for two months. All amenities that would be expected when staying at a close relative's home were waiting for me when I arrived: coffee, wine, snacks, a semi-stocked refrigerator. Even farm-fresh eggs!
Some details for perspective: I stayed here for 9 weeks while working at the university (less than 10 minutes away on bike). I was alone about half of the time, with my wife and two daughters (12- and 1-year old) here for 4 weeks in the middle of my stay. For 10 of the days that my wife was here, my parents also stayed in the house. So anywhere from 1 to 6 slept in the house, and we were never uncomfortable. There were very few complaints from any of my picky family (see below).
Knowing the owners live nearby at first made me worried about a possible lack of privacy. But we were not only left alone to ourselves the entire trip, it was very convenient having them nearby. The propane tank on the grill ran out one evening while cooking, and it was promptly replaced. The beautiful yard was maintained regularly. The more I type, the more I realize how well we were taken care of....
Speaking of the yard: three giant blooming plumeria trees with (wild?) orchids growing in the branches. One has a lilikoi vine growing in it, with passion fruit flowers blooming constantly. There is a lanai on what seems like every side of the house, so shade/sun is available at any time of day.
Downtown Hilo is a 5-minute walk away. Two movie theaters, several restaurants & bars, some churches if you're into that sort of thing, two grocery stores, the Hilo farmers' market.... all within 10 minutes' walk. It really couldn't be more convenient.
A few tiny complaints from my family, just to show that this is an honest review. The mattresses weren't the most comfortable we've slept on. If we were here for a week, this wouldn't have been a problem. But 9 weeks on them, and my back was starting to hurt again. The house is shaped in a "u-shape", with a lanai in the center. Of course there is no air-conditioning, so in the evenings after a hot summer day, the doors and windows were left open. So sitting in the living room or standing in kitchen means a direct look across the lanai into the master bedroom. I didn't care about this, but my wife felt as if she had no privacy when her in-laws were there. That's really the only non-perfect thing about this place.
I really can't wait to return....
We have rented this home for extended periods (3-4 months) for 5 consecutive winters. Needless to say we have been extremely happy here. The home is very comfortable with all the conveniences. Although it is totally handicapped accessible, it is also ideal for those of us who love to walk. It is within easy walking distance to downtown which provides many fine restaurants, theatres and a terrific farmers market, yet it is located on a quiet dead end single family residential area. The home is very spacious, with large bright rooms with direct access to lanais. The kitchen and laundry room are large and well equiped. The yard is large and well landscaped with tangerines in season. The owners, who live accross the street, are friendly and helpful.
Quaint Hilo downtown will delight visitors with many choices: museums, art studios, restaurants, bookstores and a variety of shops. Elks Club with dancing events, YWCA, Boys and Girls Club. There are custom craft shops, HILO Farmers' market, organic and natural groceries, fast food and informal dining. Extensive historic library, banks, massage/ chiropractic/tradional medical and homeopathic clinics, health food store, grocery and drug store, antique shops and many other specialty food and craft shops.

Stanley cup or playoff comtending teams don't move.
Totally agree. What did people think we were getting when we bought this team? We were getting the Atlanta Thrashers, which was a
better option than an expansion franchise would have been, but not by much.
This team has some good core players. The trick is to weed off the supporting players you don't like and replace them with the players you want, but this is going to take time. I'm sorry, but most teams aren't run by GMs that can be taken advantage of, so when Chevy goes to shop say Antropov around, he doesn't get many people that are interested. Trading away really bad players for good just doesn't happen.
