When you have that feeling, I've heard it's best to go bang a pale-skinned bald guy with a stylish bandana...
that sounds boringg lol
Check my posts on WLIB, I only come here when I have nothing better to do (or I'm supposed to be studying)
Tina, don't knock it till you've tried it...
...in reference to Kieran's suggestion, of course. I certainly wouldn't consider my own suggestion, so I don't know why you would.
kieran,seriously you must feel bored most of time .......but of course WLIB will appreciate ur commitment,and great to at least have some ppl who have same feeling
moming,i just couldn't try that :(
I was suggesting Tina try reading Kieran's post, and I assume that's what she wasn't willing to try. C'mon, what girl could resist banging me?
"oh come on Ming, u r not that irresistable!"
It depends on the alternative, doesn't it? If the only alternative is to read Kieren's drivel, I think I may have some takers. It's got to be better than the sporkulum, at least.
(no offense Kieren)
Tina, will you be uploading the results for us to see? You may compare with the real thing, which is in my photo album next to Mike's beloved sporkulum.
it's done,can't you see urself,so adorable?
no wonder,it just doesn't come up here,but i can see it,what a pity
oh god....i am bored of this thread....start sth interesting and.........;)
...and nothing of value was lost.
Oh god! 0_o um..... God must be tired of getting those complains up there somewhere...
BTW, Sunday is the day I should post a same kinda thread tho.... I'm a Sunday hater...
Oh god, Sunday is arrived... Panic...
I heart Dando.
Hahahaha ... Stephanie ... we need a volunteer to help bring grocery back from supermarket, if you are bored, you can come to help us ...
DD.. I hate supermarket too... I get lost in there... hahaha
Hahahaha ... you must get yourself a "navigator" ...
I donno how to read a map.. I'd better get a human navigator instead,with a male voice...
bedtyger is bad!
With the loss of Jon Gu and others who make me wish I was gay, and the increase of users who make me sad to be human, I find myself more and more attracted to Dando.
Maybe I need to get out more...
don't worry Mo Ming, Dando is going home soon.. You just have to be tidy up and wait for him... BTW, Dando is attractive indeed, you should find yourself that way.. lol
It took you the better part of a day to develop that brilliantly scathing retort, didn't it?
Oh! Good it didn't kill a man
qiqi, you like hairy guy, dont ya? lol...
Kieran is the one I guess...
Hahahaha ... 琪琪 ... that depends on which "when" you were referring to ...
Suit yourself QiQi, but sleep cures boredom, and I usually find that a good banging can put me to sleep faster than reading wlib.
Nope. -___-
um.. if you can stop PM me then you are not that bad..
stephanie is he doesn't let's fight!!!!!!!!!
hahaha... thanks Tina... Bedtyper, you gotta behave! I've got plenty of friends hold my back...

Finishing up an interview with Jean-Georges Vongerichten at his restaurant day before Thanksgiving, I asked if his long-time right hand man Greg Brianin and his ace executive chef Mark Lapico were around. I wanted to give them one of my offset spoons (middle of the top three, and my favorite all time spoon). I showed Jean-Georges and he said, "This is yours?" Yes. "I love it!" And then "Can I have one?" Bien sur. When we found Mark, buried in Thanksgiving prep, I gave a spoon to him he said, "You have your own spoon? Oh my god. Every time I would go on the meat station, I would take their Kunz spoon and bend it. they would say, 'Why are you fucking up my tools.' I'd say, 'I'm telling you, it's going to Read On »

Mom's Day is important. Dads, sons, and daughters, undervalue it at your own peril. It's May 8th. For those of you with wives and moms who love to cook, Mac Dalton and I have put together a special bundle we think all cooking moms will appreciate (no meat grinders and stuffers and smokers!). Moms, if you're the ones reading this, feel free to send to husbands (we can be slow on the uptake). We've decided to include the bamboo scrubber for the giver of this gift—if Mom is doing the cooking, you'll find this comes in handy after. The Mom's Day Bundle— 2 spankettes (the best wood spoons EVER) Badass (aka Egg) spoon A set of offset basting-tasting spoons A small bamboo scrubber (no more sponges gunked up with cheese, dough, egg, scorched milk!)

Time once again to thank the wonderful workers at Vocational Guidance Services in Cleveland for working so hard to ship our kitchen tools throughout the country. VGS has for decades employed those who can't otherwise find work—the disabled, people who have been homeless, people who are recently out of jail—to give them jobs, or, ideally, prepare them to find work outside this non-profit. In other words, VGS is a valuable part of our community and Mac and I put a strain on them with our recent sales (one last sale offered below!), so we wanted to thank them publicly for their good work. Thank you all! Another chance for 40% off all Ruhlman products! We wanted to give you another opportunity to purchase holiday gifts for your friends and family! So we're making all Read On »
I regret I'm not the sort to come out with a new brand of, say, Cheerios because the gluten-free, whole wheat Cheerios are old. I will soon recommend the same pans as last year, because good things last. That, ultimately, is why I care about the products I and Mac make. I love all of them. They're good and they last. In keeping with Cyber Monday, and happily at that, we're discounting all kitchen tools for this day. All of them are my favorites; why make anything else?. (Also, I just saw the movie Spotlight and it's every bit as extraordinary as people are saying; go see it; but remember that a good wood spoon will last longer). And always remember during this stress-filled season, it will all work out in the end. So don't stress. Read On »
Continuing a series of soup posts as the weather cools (here in the Northeast at least), I'm offering this rich vegetable garbure. Garbure hails from my favorite food region, Gascony, in the southwestern corner of France. (I wrote about it here for Conde Nast Traveler.) It would traditionally include some kind of confited meat and cabbage. This version, which I included in Ruhlman's Twenty, gets its depth of flavor from bacon rind, but you could substitute several slices of rind-on bacon, diced, or omit the bacon completely for a vegetarian soup. But pig skin, connective tissue, is loaded with a protein called collagen, which breaks down into gelatin to give the soup great body. If you can't find slab bacon with a rind to remove yourself, order it from your butcher or meat department. Or, better Read On »

Choosing the right company as your Flexible Spending Account Administration partner is important. There are many companies bidding for your business, but not every company offers all of the benefits your employees deserve and your company needs. To learn more visit: http://www.fbmc.com/Benefits-Administration/Flexible-Spending-Accounts.aspx

Do Not Short Change Your Employees with Sub-standard Flexible Spending Account AdministrationChoosing the right company as your Flexible Spending Account Administration partner is important. There are many companies bidding for your business, but not every company offers all of the benefits your employees deserve and your company needs. Here are a few of the important features and benefits you must consider when choosing your FSA Administration partner.The Employee Benefits Offered By Top FSA Administration PackagesFollowing is a short list of features you should require from any company seeking to be your Flexible Spending Account Administration choice.Automatic Claim SubmissionVisa or MasterCard Debit Card AvailabilityDirect DepositWeb Access to Account Balances and StatementsAbility to File Claims OnlineSuperior Customer ServiceMany companies offer several of these items, but only the top FSA providers offer all of them. You can increase employee satisfaction and adoption of Flexible Spending Accounts by making sure to partner with a company who provides all of these services.A few of the features, specifically the web access and online services, may not be of interest to some of your employees. Those same features will be the deciding factor for others. The 3 most critical aspects may be Direct Deposit, Debit Cards, and Superior Customer Service. Flexible methods of fast payment are critical, as is the best possible customer service. When employees cannot receive fast accurate answers to their questions they will be asking you.While evaluating FSA offers do not under estimate the power of fast payments with multiple methods to receive money. Employees are very intolerant of waiting weeks to receive a check in the mail for reimbursement on their claims. Fast direct deposits or debit cards give your employees what they really want, speed.
The Employer Benefits of Selecting the Proper Flexible Spending Administration CompanyThe right choice of FSA provider will lead to higher enrollment in the FSA plan. This increases your companies FICA tax savings, reduces in-house labor to track deductions, and removes the burden of answering hundreds of questions.When you choose a high quality FSA partner they will do the presentations, answer questions, and follow-up with your employees to ensure the highest enrollment possible. They consult with your employees to help them maximize their savings. Employees who start seeing savings on the bottom line of their paycheck by choosing to enroll in your Flexible Spending Account package may even feel like they received a raise or bonus. Saving money on health care, their insurance deductibles, insurance premiums, co-payments, dental care, eye care and even their glasses or contact lenses will have them believing this is one of the best benefits your company has ever offered.The Wrong Flexible Spending Account Administration Selection Can Be DisastrousWhen you choose the wrong company to partner with your life will be filled with headaches. Employees will be grumbling. You will be inundated with questions you do not have time to answer. Your savings will fly out the window. Take time to carefully research your partner for Flexible Spending Account Administration and listen to the praise of your staff, not the complaints.

For a second year, Maryland ranks #1 among all states for its adoption of policies aimed at increasing the financial stability of residents. This ranking marks a great achievement that should be celebrated. Over the last few years, Maryland passed laws to:
- Increase the Maryland Earned Income Tax Credit, providing more money in the pockets of almost 400,000 Marylanders.
- Require paid tax preparers to be licensed, including competency testing and continuing education.
- Eliminate asset limits for public benefit programs, which removes barriers for low-income residents to save money.
- Protect residents from high cost, short-term loans like payday and refund anticipation loans.
Despite some good news, Maryland ranks poorly on several outcome measures critical to family financial security, earning an overall rank of 21 out of 50 states. Almost 35% of all Marylanders do not have sufficient savings readily available to weather a financial storm. It is almost 2.3 times higher for households of color. We can do better.
Check out the full data and read the MD CASH Press Release.
Maryland ranks:
- 7th in liquid asset poverty (34.8% of households without liquid assets to live at the poverty level for three months)
- 47th in average credit card debt ($12,311)
- 40th in borrowers 90+ days overdue on payments (3.95%)
- 30th in bankruptcy rate (3.8%)
- 43rd in foreclosures (3.2%)
- 45th in delinquent mortgage loans (3.1%)
We believe it takes a combination of innovative programs, safe products and effective policies to ensure ALL Marylanders achieve financial security. In 2015 legislative session, we will be supporting legislation that:
- Ensures all eligible families receive the Maryland EITC
- Ensures that all paid tax preparers are licensed
- Ensures banks and credit unions can effectively offer new prize-linked savings products
- Marylanders continue to be protected from expensive short-term loans
- Ensures that parents and students can easily understand the true cost of attending college
- Provides paid leave so parents don't have to choose between a sick child and a paycheck

As Montrealer Shama Chopra boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, she noticed a man lagging behind, hands on his forehead, lost in thought. He was one of the last to enter the plane.
He moved past her seat in business class into the second aisle in economy.
She didn't know the nervous man would be involved in an attempted terrorist attack on the Christmas Day flight.
It began as an uneventful journey. As everyone was readying for landing - passengers doing up their seatbelts, flight attendants making their way to their fold-out seats - the commotion started.
"I heard fireworks, I thought it was gunshots," Ms. Chopra told The Canadian Press on Saturday from her home in suburban Montreal.
"The flight attendants started screaming loudly: 'Fire, fire! Water, water!'"
Others appealed for calm, begging passengers to remain in their seats. Ms. Chopra turned and saw the man - now identified as 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab - in flames.
"Then one guy behind him jumped from his chair, sat on him and, with his hands, tried to put out the flames," she said.
But he was unable to douse the fire. Passengers began passing water bottles back to help put out the blaze.
"I thought: 'We're gone now. That's it.' So I sat in my chair. What can you do but give your water bottles? So that's what everyone did. To put the flames down."
Amid the chaos, women and children were being moved to the front of the plane, she said.
"The smoke was so bad," Ms. Chopra said. "I started coughing. The children were screaming. The air hostesses were so panicked, they were almost half crying. They were saying: 'Please sit down, please, everyone stay in your chairs'."
Four people - passengers and crew - managed to wrestle the suspect down and he was brought to the front of the plane, Ms. Chopra said.
His legs and stomach were burned but he was still resisting. His captors managed to find rope, tie him up and cover him in a blanket.
"They said: 'Don't move, don't move'," she recalled. "They pushed him in a chair and they tied him up."
By that time, the plane was just minutes from landing.
Once on the ground, Ms. Chopra said, authorities boarded the flight, guns drawn, and led Mr. Mutallab of the plane.
Passengers were kept on the plane for another 30 minutes before being led into the airport and held there for five more hours. There were security agents everywhere and passengers were not even allowed to go to the bathroom without being escorted, Chopra said.
She watched the pilots as they got off the plane. She said they looked ashen and shaken.
Ms. Chopra, who had been visiting family in India, had felt ill boarding the flight in Amsterdam. Now, safely off the plane, she began vomiting. She was given a wheelchair and was allowed to stay close to the washroom.
Hours later, she was boarded a Montreal-bound flight home.
Ms. Chopra said she flies frequently and wouldn't hesitate to get on a plane again. But she would be wary about boarding another U.S. flight.
"One crazy guy can do anything," she said. "You can't go into everyone's mind."
Still, recalling how tight security seemed at the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, she doesn't understand how Mr. Mutallab managed to get on the plane in the first place.
"I don't know how this guy entered, what more they need to do?" she asked.
Now home, Ms. Chopra gets scared when she thinks back to the incident.
"Somehow this device didn't explode," she said. "If it had exploded, we would be all gone. Finished. Two-hundred and-seventy-eight people, plus the crew."

David Janssen made training films for the American troops while serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
David Janssen had three ribs broken (in a fight scene with Brian Keith) during the filming of Fear in a Desert City (the pilot episode of The Fugitive).
Instead receiving a salary for his role in The Fugitive, David Janssen negotiated a contract earning him ten percent of series' profits. By the time The Fugitive was finished Janssen had earned more than $4.5 million.
Though David Janssen was married twice, he had no children of his own. Nevertheless, there were stepchildren from both marriages.
Some of the pallbearers at David Janssen's funeral were Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck, Milton Berle, Richard Harris and Rod Stewart.
Between 1964 and 1976, David Janssen was on the cover of TV Guide eight times.
David Janssen's mother (Berniece Graf) was a teenage Miss Nebraska who also worked as a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl.
David Janssen was interred in the Hillside Memorial Cemetery at the Mausoleum, Memory Court in Culver City, California.
While serving in the U.S. Army, David Janssen became friends with Clint Eastwood and Martin Milner.
The producers at Twentieth Century-Fox didn't like 18-year-old David Janssen's big ears so they used rubber cement to pin them back. This didn't give the results they wanted, so they asked Janssen to have his ears altered surgically. He refused.
In 1944, David Janssen won the "Mr. Hollywood, Jr." Award at the Hollywood Bowl sponsored by Screen Children's Guild.
In 1966 David Janssen won the Golden Globe Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as Best Actor in a Television Series for 1965 (The Fugitive).
David Janssen wrote the lyrics to the song "My Sensitive, Passionate Man" from the 1977 movie My Sensitive, Passionate Man.
David Janssen used his stepfather's name after he entered show business as a child.
David Janssen had gotten his first film part at age 13.
In 1961, David Janssen starred in an unsold pilot for a TV series called The Insider. Janssen played Hollywood agent Dan Castle and the series focused on his efforts to help his clients with their problems.
David Janssen's last film role was in Inchon (1981). However, his part was edited out of the film before it was released.
David Janssen won a contract with Universal Studios in 1951 and entered their Talent Program.
David Janssen was married twice. His first marriage was to Ellie Graham and lasted from 1958 until 1970. His second marriage was to Dani Crayne and lasted from 1975 until his death from a heart attack in 1980.
David Janssen was nominated three times for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Continued Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Dramatic Series. Mr. Janssen's nominations were for his series The Fugative. He played the part of Dr. Richard Kimble. Mr. Janssen was also nominated for a Golden Globe twice for the same series and role. He won once in 1966.
David Janssen has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mr. Janssen's star is for television and is located at 7011 Hollywood Blvd.
David Janssen: (Referring to The Fugitive in a 1964 TV Guide interview) Production values contribute to the success of the series. Most shows would use some kind of model boat in a tank and that's exactly what it would come out looking like.
Thirty minutes after the final episode of The Fugitive aired, Janssen appeared on Joey Bishop's late night talk show with the following declaration:
David Janssen: I killed her Joey. She talked too much.
(David Janssen reacts to producer Quinn Martin's critique of his mannerisms)
Quinn Martin: I counted two bug-eyes, one ear tug, and one chin pull. Tired?
David Janssen: You rat, you caught me.
David Janssen: (Referring to his role as Richard Kimble) It's difficult keeping the character fresh and reaching deeper into his character to find more things he can do."
David Janssen: I'm from Nebraska, and I feel guilty when I'm not working. If I'd stayed in the picture business, making two a year, sitting around the rest of the time, I'd go crazy.
David Janssen: (Reflecting on his life when he was young and unmarried) Most of my pay check went to my tailor, barber and masseur. I was less than responsible. I had no obligations except to my own pleasure.
David Janssen: (Responding in a TV Guide interview about his ulcer) Thinking causes ulcers… Thinking gets rid of ulcers. I thought mine away.
David Janssen: TV is my sleeping pill.
David Janssen: (in an interview about his nervousness before starting a film project) I start getting traumatic about a week before the starting date. I run around getting the decks cleared so I won't be bothered by external duties after a picture or a TV job begins. And the day before--like this--I'm a minor wreck.
David Janssen: (describing the roles he played in films as "The Agreer") The star of the picture would approach me and ask, "Don't you think so, Harry?" and I would answer, "I'm with you, Jack. I'll back you up all the way." Then I'd disappear.

The Story of Broke Trailer (2011)
08 November 2011
The United States isn't broke; we're the richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally well. But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn't working. But rather than invest in something better, we continue to keep this 'dinosaur economy' on life support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax money. The Story of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward investments in clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and materials, zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier environment. It's time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let's build it better.

Unanswered: Create System DSN
Does anyone have a script (VB, ASP, CFM or other) that will create a System DSN to a MySQL Database on windows 2003. Or have a command line tool that will do the same?
I need to create a them through a control panel not the ODBC Administrator.

Mikel remains upbeat
John Obi Mikel was delighted to come through 90 minutes against AC Milan and believes he and Chelsea are heading in the right direction.
Last Updated: 29/07/12 8:12pm
John Obi Mikel was delighted to come through 90 minutes against AC Milan and believes he and Chelsea are heading in the right direction.
The midfielder was one of only four players to play the whole game against the Rossoneri, as the Blues slipped to a 1-0 defeat in the final instalment of their United States tour.
A setback in Miami may have seen Chelsea stung by consecutive defeats, but the focus in pre-season is placed more on fitness than results.
Mikel believes both will come, with the Nigeria international confident Roberto Di Matteo's side will be at their best come the start of the 2012/13 Premier League campaign.
"I feel good, I think it was a good game for us," he told the club's official website.
"It was not the result we would have wanted but there are positives we can take and try to build on it.
"We didn't create many chances, but there were opportunities and maybe we were just one pass or one run short, so we are getting closer to how we want to be, and if we can keep doing what we are doing we will start to open teams up and improve our play.
"It is still pre-season and we have time to work on a few things before we get to the competitive games."
Mikel added: "Now we have to get back and build on what we have done on the tour and we will be in a good place on 12th August for the Community Shield (against Manchester City)."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to digital cameras employing solid-state pixel sensors. More particularly, the present invention relates to improved sensitivity and autoexposure detection apparatus and methods for use in digital cameras.
2. The Prior Art
Storage pixel sensors are known in the art. These devices sense photo-integrated charge stored on a capacitor. A limitation of these prior pixels storage sensors is the tradeoff that results from the desire for the capacitor to be small to achieve high sensitivity and the competing desire for the capacitor to be large to provide low noise and good storage time.
Prior art exposure control techniques known to the inventors that use the actual image sensors during the actual exposure interval are of two types. Some prior art techniques integrate the total photocurrent by a common back-side electrode (anode) of a group of photodiodes—i.e., they integrate the substrate current to get an average light reading on the whole array. Other prior art techniques use nondestructive readout to sample selected pixels during the exposure interval, looking for an indication that some pixels are reaching a full-scale exposure. Another prior-art technique senses a total overflow charge from the pixel sensors.
The first technique is tricky and difficult to implement, since the photocurrents are small and the substrate is large and noisy. In addition, it responds strictly to the average light level across the image plane rather than to those pixels that are reaching a full-scale charge accumulation. The second technique requires a sequential polling, so is limited to either a very slow operation or to sensing only a very small subset of the pixels. The second technique is therefore not good for detecting the exact time when a small percentage of pixels are reaching a full-scale exposure. The third technique requires sensing of charges against a background of the total leakage of the full area of pixel sensors.
Other prior art techniques for exposure control typically measure the light either at a different time, e.g. just before the actual exposure, or with a different sensor device that needs to be calibrated relative to the sensor that is picking up the actual image. Such techniques typically sample the image plane at selected fixed points rather than adapting to the lighting conditions of the entire image.
One such prior art technique uses an imager first to estimate a light level and thereby to calculate an optimum exposure duration for a second cycle of the imager. This technique is obviously not as fast, and particularly is unsuited to controlling the exposure time rapidly during a dynamic lighting event, provided for example from a strobe flash.
Another such prior art technique employs a separate overall light sensor to measure an average light level and to react to a sufficient quantity of light by closing a shutter or quenching a strobe flash. Mechanical shutters and non-frame-storage electronic sensors cannot be shuttered rapidly enough to use this technique during a flash, which is why the detector is sometimes used to turn off the light source instead of closing a shutter. These techniques require an awkward coordination between the camera, the light sensor, and the light source, and do not necessarily track automatically the sensitivity (or film speed) and lens aperture of the camera.
Another type of prior art technique relates to use of an adjustable overflow drain for dynamic range enhancement. These techniques have not been integrated with the use of the overflow current for terminating the exposure time. Variations on this technique employ either a moving overflow barrier or a dual exposure interval to increase dynamic range.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a MOS active storage pixel sensor disposed on a semiconductor substrate comprises a photodiode having a first terminal coupled to a first potential (ground) and a second terminal. A barrier transistor has a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the photodiode and a second terminal coupled to a photocharge integration node comprising the control element of a first source-follower transistor. A semiconductor reset switch has a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the barrier transistor and a second terminal coupled to a reset reference potential that reverse biases the photodiode. The first source-follower transistor is coupled to a bias current source and has an output. A bias transistor has its drain coupled to the output of the first source-follower transistor, its gate coupled to a fixed potential to establish the saturation level along with the fixed voltage on the gate of the saturation level transistor and a source coupled to a fixed voltage such as ground. A semiconductor transfer transistor has a first terminal coupled to the output of the first source-follower transistor and a second terminal connected to a capacitive storage node comprising the control element of a second source-follower transistor having an output. A row-select transistor has a first terminal coupled to the output of the second source-follower transistor, a second main terminal coupled to a column output line and a control element coupled to a row-select line. The reset transistor and the transfer transistor each have a control element coupled to a control circuit for selectively activating the reset transistor and the transfer transistor.
The separation of the photodiode from the charge integration node by the barrier transistor allows high sensitivity, and the separation of the storage node from the charge integration node by the first source-follower transistor allows low noise storage and readout by providing a smaller capacitance for the charge integration node and a larger capacitance for the storage node.
According to a second aspect of the present invention an auto-exposure circuit for use with pixel sensors is disclosed. A saturation level transistor has its source coupled to the output of the first source-follower amplifier, its gate coupled to a fixed potential chosen to turn the transistor on at a preselected pixel voltage representing a saturation level, and a common (global) current summing drain node. A bias transistor has its drain coupled to the output of the first source-follower amplifier, its gate coupled to a fixed potential to establish the saturation current and a source coupled to a fixed voltage such as ground. The global current summing node is coupled to a current comparator to compare the current flowing from the common drain node with a reference current. When the current from the global drain node exceeds the reference current, indicating that a preselected number of pixels in the array have saturated, the output of the comparator produces a TERMINATE EXPOSURE signal.
Persons of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the following description of the present invention is illustrative only and not in any way limiting. Other embodiments of the invention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons having the benefit of this disclosure. For example, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention are disclosed using all N-Channel MOS transistor switches, but persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that other technologies could be employed as well. Such skilled persons will readily understand how to adjust the polarities of the various potentials applied to the circuits disclosed herein to implement an embodiment of the present invention employing such other technologies.
The present invention encompasses various combinations of elements in storage pixel sensors. Different embodiments of storage pixel sensors according the present invention include one or more of the following elements in combination incorporated into the pixel sensor: a barrier transistor, a bias transistor for the source-follower transistor, a saturation level transistor, and a transfer transistor. The present invention is disclosed herein with reference to
Referring first to
The cathode of photodiode 12 is coupled to a photocharge integration node 16 (represented in
The photocharge integration node 16 comprises the inherent gate capacitance of first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20, having a drain connected to a voltage potential VSFD1. The voltage potential VSFD1 may be held fixed at a supply voltage V+ (which may be, for example, about 3-5 volts depending on the technology) or may be pulsed as will be disclosed further herein. The source of MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20 forms the output node 22 of the source-follower transistor and is coupled to the drain of MOS N-Channel bias transistor 24 operating as a current source. The source of MOS N-Channel bias transistor 24 is coupled to a fixed voltage potential such as ground. The gate of MOS N-Channel source-follower bias transistor 24 is connected to a bias voltage node. The voltage presented to the bias voltage node sets the bias current flowing through MOS N-Channel source-follower bias transistor 24. This voltage may be fixed, or, as will be disclosed further herein, may be pulsed to conserve power. The use of MOS N-Channel source-follower bias transistor 24 is optional in the present invention. As will be disclosed herein, this device is used in combination with a saturation level transistor to implement an auto-exposure detection function.
The output node 22 of the source-follower transistor is coupled to a capacitive storage node 26 (represented in
The capacitive storage node 26 comprises the inherent gate capacitance of second MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 30, having a drain connected to a source-follower drain (SFD) potential and a source. The source of second MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 30 is coupled to COLUMN OUTPUT line 32 through MOS N-Channel row select transistor 34. The gate of MOS N-Channel row select transistor 34 is coupled to a ROW SELECT line 36.
Second MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 30 is preferably a large device, having its gate sized at 10 to 100 times the area of first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20. The other transistors in the circuit, first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20, are preferably sized to near minimum length and width.
Use of a bias transistor 24 in the storage pixel sensor of the present invention can change the operating characteristics of the pixel sensor in a beneficial way. The first source-follower is working against a controlled current source, which may be more well controlled than when working against only the capacitive load of the storage node capacitance of the second source follower transistor 30.
To increase the input-to-output voltage gain of either source follower transistor 20 or 30, it is possible to pulse its drain terminal (as disclosed in FOV-013 for the readout follower). If the drain of the first source follower transistor 20 is pulsed, current will flow only when it is high, so the pixel saturation disclosed with reference to auto-exposure circuit 40 can be monitored only while it is high. It may be advantageous to pulse drain of the first source follower transistor 20 with a low duty cycle to save power during exposure. Pulsing drain of the first source follower transistor 20 also keeps the photodiode and barrier source/drain voltages lower during the time the drain is low, which can beneficially reduce voltage-dependent leakage at those nodes. If the BARRIER and VR voltages are adjusted for proper barrier operation with the drain low, then the barrier transistor 14 will tend to turn off while the drain of the first source follower transistor 20 is pulsed, so the charge on the photodiode 12 will not be disturbed. The exposure needs to end with the drain high to capture the final state on the storage node.
Referring now to
According to a particularly advantageous operation of the storage pixels sensor of the present invention, the barrier transistor 14 and the reset transistor 18 are identically sized so as to exhibit identical voltage thresholds (Vth). The active level of the RESET signal is chosen such that VRESET<VR+Vth, to achieve better tracking of nonlinearities.
When the RESET signal is de-asserted and photointegration begins, charge accumulates on the photocharge integration node 16. Because MOS N-Channel barrier transistor 14 is barely conducting, photoinduced charge trickles across its channel and charges photocharge integration node 16 (by lowering its voltage) without lowering the voltage on the cathode of the photodiode 12. This is advantageous because it minimizes the capacitance charged by the photocurrent, thereby maximizing the sensitivity (volts per photon).
Persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the MOS N-Channel reset transistor 18 can be coupled directly to the cathode of the photodiode 12, but such an arrangement requires that the voltage VR be set precisely relative to the barrier voltage and threshold. This is not preferred since the thresholds can vary.
The voltage at the source of first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20, and hence its output node 22, follows the voltage on its gate (the photocharge integration node 16). In embodiments of the present invention that employ MOS N-Channel transfer transistor 28, the XFR signal is asserted throughout the reset period and the integration period and is de-asserted to end the integration period as illustrated in FIG. 2A. The low level of the XFR signal is preferrably set to zero or a slightly negative voltage, such as about −0.2 volts, to thoroughly turn off transfer transistor 28.
To read out a pixel sensor, the SFD node at the drain of the second MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor (labeled VSFD2 in
Referring now to
Also shown in
Second MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 30 is larger than first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20, and its gate capacitance (the capacitive storage node 26) is therefore correspondingly larger. This provides the advantage of additional noise immunity for the pixel sensor 10 because more charge needs to be transferred to or from the capacitive storage node 26 to cause a given voltage change than is the case with the photocharge integration node 16.
The control signals depicted in
Referring again to
A saturation level transistor 42 can be used, only if the bias transistor 24 is present, to divert the bias current from saturated pixel sensors onto a global current summing line that can be monitored during exposure to determine how many pixels have reached the saturation level. External circuits can control the threshold for what is deemed saturation, and can measure the current instead of just comparing it to a threshold, so it is possible through this added transistor and global current summing line to measure how many pixel sensors have crossed any particular level. Therefore, by performing rapid variation of the threshold (SAT. LEVEL) and rapid measurement (e.g. through an A/D converter and input to a processor), it is possible to have access to a complete cumulative histogram of exposure levels during the exposure; from this information, it is possible to make more complex determinations of good exposure levels, beyond the simple threshold method used in the presently preferred embodiment.
When the bias transistor 24 is present, isolating the storage node involves timing signals to turn off both the bias transistor 24 and the first source follower 20. It is simpler, and potentially advantageous in terms of storage integrity, to include a transfer transistor 28 that can isolate the storage node under control of a single logic signal. The transfer transistor 28 can also be added to the basic circuit, even without the bias transistor, for a similar advantage, since even turning off the first source follower transistor 20 reliably involves coordinating the Reset and VR signals, which is a complexity that can be eliminated with the transfer transistor 28.
In operation, the SAT. LEVEL line 44 is driven to a voltage VSAT corresponding to a selected photocharge saturation level. Because accumulation of photocharge drives the output node 22 of the first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20 downward, MOS N-Channel saturation level transistor 42 is initially turned off because its gate voltage at VSAT is lower than the voltage at node 16. MOS N-Channel saturation level transistor 42 remains off until accumulation of photocharge at photocharge integration node 16 has lowered its voltage below VSAT (and that at the source of MOS N-Channel saturation level transistor 42, common to the output node 22 of the first MOS N-Channel source-follower transistor 20, to a level one Vt below the voltage VSAT). At this point, MOS N-Channel saturation level transistor 42 turns on and starts to draw current (less than or equal to the bias current through bias transistor 24) from the global current summing node 46.
As will be appreciated by persons of ordinary skill in the art, other pixel sensors in the array will also begin to accumulate enough photocharge to turn on their MOS N-Channel saturation level transistors 42, thus drawing additional current from node 46, and further dropping the voltage on global current summing node 46. As will be appreciated by persons of ordinary skill in the art, comparator 48 may be a voltage comparator having one input coupled to global current summing node 46 and one input coupled to a voltage VTERM chosen to correspond to the voltage on global current summing node 46 when a selected number of pixels are saturating (i.e., have their MOS N-Channel saturation level transistors 42 turned on). When the voltage on global current summing node 46 equals VTERM, the comparator 48 generates a TERMINATE EXPOSURE signal that can be used to terminate the exposure period in one of numerous ways, such as by closing a mechanical shutter or initiating end-of-exposure signals (such as the XFR signal) to control the pixel sensors. The TERMINATE EXPOSURE signal can also be used to quench a strobe flash if desired.
Alternatively, A/D converter 50 may be coupled to global current summing line 46 to convert the voltage representing the global summed current to a digital value that can be processed by employing a smart auto-exposure algorithm shown at reference numeral 52.
The auto-exposure circuit 40 of the present invention may be advantageously operated in a power saving mode by simultaneously pulsing both the VSFD1 signal to the drain of the source-follower transistor 20 and one or both of the SF bias signal supplied to the gate of source-follower bias transistor 24 and the SAT. LEVEL signal supplied to the gate of saturation level transistor 42. In such a mode, the auto-exposure sensing current flows only when these signals are pulsed, at which time the overexposure sensing is performed. At other times during photointegration, the overexposure currents from each pixel do not flow, thus saving power. When this mode of operation is used, the auto-exposure circuit 40 can be advantageously used at higher current levels for better signal-to-noise ratio.
According to another mode of operating the auto-exposure circuit 40 of the present invention, the SAT. LEVEL voltage at the gates of all saturation level transistors 42 in an array can be swept from zero to the maximum level do develop a full cumulative distribution of the states of all pixels in the array. This mode of operation is most useful when AID converter 50 is used in the auto-exposure circuit 40. In embodiments of the present invention employing optional transfer transistor 28, this device should either be turned off before the ramping of SAT. LEVEL voltage each measurement cycle, or an extra cycle should be performed with the SAT. LEVEL voltage low in order to store a signal voltage that is not clipped to the variable SAT. LEVEL voltage. An example of an autoexposure algorithm that could use this cumulative distribution information is one that would analyze the distribution and classify the scenes as being backlit or not, and set different values of SAT. LEVEL and i-threshold accordingly, during exposure.
In a typical application of the MOS pixel sensor of the present invention, a plurality of such pixel sensors will be disposed in an array. Referring now to

Unanswered: Access issues, relationships & error messages
I have a database with the relationships as follow;
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The annual reducing balance table automatically populates the Person_ID, however I also want it to populate the support_plan_id which links it back to the support plan.
As there could be multiple support plans with multiple annual reducing balances for each.
Hope the above makes sense in a roundabout way if not let me know.
Also do you know how to turn off the following warning messages when running an update query?

You lost me in that tables are not automatically populated by other tables.
About the messages, ifyou are using VBA code, try docmd.setwarnings 0 before the queries are run, then use docmd.setwarnings -1 afterward.John M Reynolds

I found the Highbrook Motel on the internet and the reviews were excellent so I booked it for 3 nights. My wife and I were extremely impressed. We have stayed in some motels before where you wish you never opened the door. This motel is immaculate. The property is well maintained, it is in a great location for Bar Harbor and Acadia, and it is very quiet. It has all the amenities you need including continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, a shuttle that has connections to all parts of the island, small refrigerator, and other items to make your stay more pleasant. The best thing is that it is run by a family who obviously takes pride in their establishment. The family and employees are very helpful, friendly, and have a genuine care in the quality of your stay. We'll be back!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Highbrook Motel rests on a 3 acre hillside, 1 mile from Downtown Bar Harbor. We are 1 mile from Acadia National Park. You can catch a free seasonal shuttle to town from the motel between 7am-10pm. All rooms are smoke-free and feature A/C, coffee makers, and Wi-Fi. All rooms have refrigerators and we offer complimentary coffee and tea all day. Our "Grab & Go" continental breakfast is also available each morning from 7am-10am. ... more less

We booked a luxury room for 5 nights as we were with our 18 month old son and wanted a relaxing holiday yet close to were we wanted to go. Volendam which is a lovely small fishing village is about a 5 min bus ride which you can catch exactly in front of the hotel but we walked it from hotel to Volendam 3 times which takes about an hour walk but believe me its worth the walk as you will see all the nature around this hotel with sheep and cows and all kind of birds and small lakes , wonderful. We also went 3 times to Amsterdam (30 min) as the buses are really user friendly and efficient and always on time. We travelled with the buggy and was really easy. Room we stayed in was spacious and clean and had a balcony overlokking the lake and fields which was wonderful. Breakfast was very good with a really good selection of hot and cold dishes and freshly baked pastries. We ate 3 times as well at the Hotel restaurant which serves really good food at reasonable prices. For us , which was the first time travelling with our baby , it was an excellent holiday as we were treated really well from all Hotel staff and other people around were we travelled. Will surely come back again one day. Highly reccomend this Hotel.
