I am a analytical type person. Skeptical when it comes to things of faith (unfortunately). I was raised as a catholic (although we rarely attended church). I met my wife about five years ago (in April) and started going to her Pentecostal church. It was uncomfortable at first when they had altar calls (where they did call on us to pray for Jesus' intervention), because of the strange things that I observed. Mainly the crying and yelling perplexed me (such a deviation from my tranquil and ordered services of Catholic service). And the length! A service would last anywhere from an hour to two and a half hours! We could count on being out of the door on the dot in Catholic church!
Anyway to the point. Yesterday (02-04-01) I was praying (kneeling up front of the church) to Jesus and asking for clarity of thought and the baptism of the holy ghost (spirit) if that is what I needed. I also prayed for understanding of the experience since it weighed heavily on me that I never had felt anything in church or while praying to Jesus. I have felt in the past twinges of guilt or such when making bad decisions but I had always attributed it to my own morality. While praying others prayed with me so that I might understand and be filled with the Holy Ghost (as in Pentecost). At first I felt nothing (as I had in the past 4 years in their church), when all of a sudden I felt an energy entering me, my lips started stammering (sorry for using the bible description but it fits) and I felt this overwhelming wellness which is indescribable (it was better than any high from alcohol any other earthly thing). Then I felt my body moving and my mouth making sounds (don't know or recall what was coming out of it) that I would never do while in control of myself (as I am reserved in social events). As the experience peaked my body felt heavy and I was without strength, I could not move my arms and I laid there experiencing the most profound event in my life. At that moment the emotions washed over me… I felt happy and remorseful at the same time. Happy to have had the experience (that Jesus actually acknowledged me personally) and sad that I ever doubted in the first place, and I wept (something else that I would never do in public).
Do I still think it is necessary for salvation? I don't know. I will have to pray about that one. But as for me… It surely didn't hurt. It turned this doubting Thomas into a full-fledged believer and wouldn't trade the experience for any amount of money or treasure. It has profoundly changed my outlook on life and I feel that it was necessary for me (the experience) for me to enter into the next level of relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
I wanted to share this with you, feel free to post it on your website (if you wish), feel free to comment it or debate, or question me. I would be happy to entertain your thoughts on this matter or any other subject in the Bible.
Your fellow servant in Christ,
Mike Jones

Review: Prometheus Unstitched
Prometheus Unstitched by Lila Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cory Blindbarrow of Blindbarrow Crimefighting Couture, loves her work—from tailoring bulletproof fabrics to engineering concealed weaponry. Kowtowing to the over-sized egos of her superhero clientele? Not so much.
Her newest client, Theo Richelieu, aka Prometheus Man, can see five minutes into the future. Unfortunately, nobody believes him. He's exactly the type that pushes Cory's buttons. But he's also quite talented at engaging (and disengaging) her buttons and zippers. As maddening as Theo can be, Cory can't deny their supernatural chemistry.
When a sniper targets Cory's colleagues, Theo appoints himself her protector. His know-it-all attitude soon has her ready to tattoo a bullseye on her forehead. If Theo is unable to convince the headstrong couturier she's the sniper's next mark, their happily ever after might never make it out of the design phase.
This was a super cute and fun read. There are so few "adult" books out there set in a world inhabited by superheroes. In fact only one comes to mind and that is the Bigtime series by Jennifer Estep. I mean there is the Incredibles movie. Not really for adults but I enjoyed it. So I was thrilled to get the chance to review this book. It lived up to my expectations. Instead of a big superhero, we get a B-list superhero whose power isn't immediately apparent and a costume designer for the B-List heroes. I loved it! It was fast paced, fun and had the danger element that I so love in my books. Ms. Shaw kept the pace of the book fast and interesting. I found myself devouring it in one sitting.
I was sad when it was over. I wanted to live in that world for a while. I have to say that I kind of guessed the villain turn but there was plenty of stuff that did keep me guessing. And the last minute rescue dropped my jaw. Yay for smart, intellectual super heroes. It also helps when they are hot and hunky! So if you are looking for a good read set in the "anything goes" world of super heroes, give this book a shot. You won't be disappointed. I look forward to reading more books by Ms. Shaw.

There are six Departments within EHS Faculty including Department of Clinical Therapies, Department of Education and Professional Studies, the Graduate Entry Medical School, Department of Nursing and Midwifery, Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences and Department of Psychology.
EHS offers 14 full-time undergraduate programmes (some with colleagues in Science & Engineering and Humanities & Social Sciences) and 25 taught masters and/or graduate diploma programmes (some with colleagues in other Faculties mentioned above and/or partner agencies). We have over 2000 undergraduate students and over 500 part-time and full-time postgraduate students.
The Faculty of Education and Health Sciences have five departments and a school. The Graduate Entry Medical School and the Department of Psychology are the newest units on campus. The Clinical Therapy Department contains Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy. The Department of Nursing and Midwifery was established as part of a nationwide shift to provide professional university education for nurses instead of the apprenticeship training models in hospitals favoured by the former Health Boards.
The Faculty of EHS is also home to two of the oldest academic departments on campus. The Department of Education and Professional Studies (EPS) was originally part of Thomond College of Education. The Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences (PESS) was created initially as the National College of Physical Education in 1973 and by 1976 had amalgamated with Thomond College of Education. Five of the current EHS departments were part of the former College of Science (PESS, the three Clinical Therapies, and Nursing & Midwifery), one department (EPS) was part of the former College of Education, and the two newest units (Medicine and Psychology) had no college affiliation prior to the current university reconfiguration.

I hope i don't miss that too much. I've had blackberries since i can remember and have never had good luck trying out touchscreen phones, but i haven't ever had a smartphone touch screen. i'm going to give it a couple of weeks to see how i like it compared to my bold 9700, which has been really good. Hope someone out there wants to buy a slightly used one soon!

If you have to tell your customers how it say it, your product better be good. That's all I'm saying.
Good Point Heather. Since I know you are a die hard Apprentice fan there was one episode last season that illustrated this so well. Remember the challenge where the teams had to promote the movie "Zathura?" (An oh so memorable movie I might ad).
One girl whos name I dont know and dont want to look up, couldnt even pronounce the title properly. How was she supposed to come off as believable if she couldnt pronounce the name of the movie.
Companies pay lots of money for focus groups and reaserch for the right title, so if a title is hard to pronounce, it would come up there I am sure.
Yeah, plus, the should just spell it "whee!" like I do ; )
But then again the ice cream maker "Häagen-Dazs" made up the word and added the umlaut over the "A" because it looked cool — oh yeah, I guess you're right — it better be a GREAT product!
Now if we could just get Häagen-Dazs to stop lying by saying that there are EIGHT servers per container! (^_^)
Blake-yeah, that definitely qualifies as good. Have you tried Rum Raisin? I eat ice cream rarely (we've already discussed my weird eating habits, right?), but that is some good stuff.
– "That's all I'm saying."
LOL I love it. Very diplomatic way of puttting things.
Of course, a corollary could be:
"If correctly pronouncing your product is a homonym for a common childish reference for a bio-break, your product better be fantastic"
Mel-I have to work at that…I dno't want to infer that we are the best product namers around or that I could come up with the perfect product name.
Bill-yeah, that too!
Doesn't matter how good the product is. It also has to make sense for the product and its category. A video game console named "Oui"? Well, maybe if they spelled it in a different language.
If you read it the way most normal people would, it says "Why", and that's an even bigger problem.
That is beyond bizarre.
I was expecting a more 'professional' opinion on the subject, the way you have put it, Heather, sounds a bit biased (especially since you are working in MS).
I don't really like the name very much (I expected the name to be 'Go', after certain fakes surfacing all over the net) but I think people in general are just riding on the usual hateorade that comes everytime Nintendo does something. At least spanish speaking people pronounce it correctly, and that is no small feat.
But yes, I can understand it's a word difficult to swallow for english speaking people. Maybe if it had been named 'pipí' or 'popó' (equivalent of wee and poop in Spanish), I may have the same opinion as you.
Anyway, I find your blog interesting, keep posting!
PS: Isn't it funny how the words the little kids use for their 'needs' are so similar in both languages?
Have you seen what some of OUR products are named? I've often wondered what the heck our marketing departments (or whoever makes those decisions) were thinking. I know it wasn't you, but still the pot/kettle was the first thing that came to mind. 😉
Aguasefera-see my comment above stating that we aren't necessarily the best product namers around (trust me, I know!). As soon as they (marketring) start letting us staffing folks participate in the product naming process, I'll provide a more "professional" opinion. Until then, I am just an observer; one outside their target market at that!
tod-I know….again, I draw your attention to my comment above. There is a difference between too many words and some hard to pronouce word thing.
re: Microsoft naming. What I find fascinating is that the product code names at Microsoft are usually (almost always) vastly better product names than the products eventually get tagged with. Can anyone explain why that is?
re: Nintendo name. I'm with Heather on this. If the name isn't pronounceable in English, don't do it. English-speaking markets account for the majority of sales of almost any product. Even in most countries that don't speak English as a native language, most educated people can still speak and read English because it is the lingua franca of business. (I was once at a meeting in Italy with partipants from 4 countries. I was the only native English speaker, and although they were all speaking a version of English, I seemed to be the only one having difficulty understanding what was being said. Not sure what that means, but I thought it was interesting. Talk about a weird experience.) English names may not be the best choice in different cultures (it depends on the product), but they are a pretty safe default around the world. Anything unpronounceable and unintelligible in English is a bad choice. Like the artist formerly known as Prince – you might as well ask people to interpret a symbol as a name.
Yes, I can explain. The product names are made up by US based product teams and they have nothing to do with the product itself. They are created for an audience that requires nothing evocative, they just need something short and memorable. You only think they are good because they are shorter than our looonnggg prodduct names. : )
Boy, when you say something like that, and put a smiley at the end, you're just begging me to respond. Ok, I'll bite. No, I think they're better because they are.
I recommend the product namers get copies of "The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding", or "Positioning", both of which do a better job than I could of explaining why the brands would be more powerful, distinctive, evocative and a boost to sales if they were better named. Does anyone notice a pattern in names like Coke, Crest, Tide, Intel, Sprint, Colgate — a couple of syllables at the most, and a distinctive sound, is what makes a good memorable name, and it helps if it creates an image in the mind. Longhorn is colorful and short. Or how about Freestyle, a terrific brand name for the product it was applied to (which was replaced with Windows XP Media Center Edition 1.0 — omigod). Or does anyone remember that old chestnut "Chicago", which became Windows 95? You say the code names don't need to be evocative, but it is the final release names that evoke nothing and are completely emotionless.
Whatever happened to the good old days when a name like Powerpoint got through the gauntlet unharmed?
Of course, your product teams are right on one point. The phone companies never needed evocative names either when they were without competition. I guess the difference for XBox is that it has to compete. One should never take a monopoly for granted, though, because someday it might not be. The only thing I have to concede is that there has never been a Microsoft name as bad as "Wii" — that took a really special kind of imagination to screw up that badly.
I'm not saying our naming doesn't need improvement. I'm just saying that a bunch of unresearched, throw-it-out-to-see-if-it-sticks code names aren't the answer either. You miht not be the average consumer, Paul.
Ok. You got me there. I'm definitely not average.
Thought you'd be interested in what others are saying on the subject:
I guess if all buzz is good buzz, then maybe Nintendo is cleverer than all of us. Just like the Yukon folks with their "write your own words to our lousy film" commercial.
Now you know I don't buy that "all buzz is good buzz" stuff. Bad buzz is bad and it lasts and it's expensive to overcome and it hurts your brand amnd makes you look bad and often, it's totally avoidable. Nothing good about that.
Not that I am someone who is going to buy something Nintendo, ever. I'm trying to imagine some acceptable circumstances under which I would be buying this Wii thing and nope, just cannot come up with a single scenario.
re: good vs bad buzz
GM might disagree. In recently announced results. Tahoe (sorry, it wasn't Yukon — I can't tell the difference anyway) sales in March were up 41% over February, and up 20% year over year.
see: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=109880
They are painting their campaign as a success. Of course, they could be deliberately using the fallacy of causation (a happened, then b happened, therefore a caused b). A more likely cause of a sales spike is the fact that the 2007 model is a redesign and was just released.
So, did they get bad buzz that they're able to portray as good and justify their stupidity ex post facto, or does it not matter that the buzz was bad?
re: Wii. So neither you, nor I, nor most of the posters on your blog are ever going to go Wii. (My eyes keep fooling me into seeing WW1, which is probably an even worse association that a dog wii'ing on your sofa). If we aren't the target market, is our opinion of whether the name works or not valid?
I'm getting all philosophical and comtemplative today. I think I'm going to have to slap myself. *#$ @#^. There, I'm better now. Bad buzz is bad. And, Wii belongs in the toilet. Wow, I thought for a second I was turning into a mush-headed wimp.

BroadSoft Announces Q1 2014 Earnings on Monday, May 5, 2014
Posted by: Karen Rogers (IP Logged)
Date: May 3, 2014 01:12PM
BroadSoft, Inc. (?BSFT) is set to release its Q1 2014 earnings report at 8:30 am, Eastern Standard Time on Monday, May 5, 2014, before the market opens. The earnings report will be simultaneously released via a live conference call and a live audio webcast on the company's website.
Corporate Guidance
For the 4th quarter ending Dec. 31, 2013, BroadSoft's stock price closed at $27.21. Since then, the stock price dropped 19% and is currently trading in the $24.50 - $25.50 range. Company guidance predicts Q1 2014 revenue between $42 million and $47 million with an EPS of $0.10. These figures are considerably less than what BroadSoft posted in Q4 2013 but are on par with Q3 2013 amounts.
Analysts Expectations
Analyst estimates are in keeping with the figures provided by BroadSoft's earlier guidance. The EPS estimate ranges from a low of $0.07 to a high of $0.15. Analysts expect the company's revenue to fall between a low of $43.42 million to a high of $45.81 million.
Analysts are currently bearish on BroadSoft. During Q1 2014, revenue for the application software industry as a whole grew 36.30% while Broadsoft's revenue fell by 44.40%. For the year 2014, application software industry revenue is expected to grow 69.80% while BroadSoft's annual revenue growth is confined to 10.70%.

Malkin Signs
Evgeni Malkin finally signed today with the Penguins. He agreed to a 3 year entry level deal, obviously with incentives built in. It looks like the Russian club Metallurg Magnitogorsk is believed to have abandoned legal action to force Malkin into returning to Russia to play for them. But it's believed they may seek some form of compensation. As Spector said, the NHL could offer compensation for Russia, so they will agree to a transfer agreement.

For three nights and three days the seedings have been out and the lines have been posted. Usually the wiseguys are patient with these numbers, taking a bite when they see something they really like, but generally laying low, until the public comes into town. When the squares hit the books for four days of hoops depravity, the spreads start moving, usually towards the favorites, giving the sharps a chance to get down big money on the dogs they love. Before too long, the only lines worth looking at are by the employee's entrance at the Spearmint Rhino. The ones on the board are purely for suckers.
But this year's been different. "The public has gotten sharper themselves the last few years and they don't blindly take the favorites like they used to," says Mirage bookmaker Jeff Stoneback. "The wiseguys are thinking, I better get it now while I can."
That means, by the time you land at McCarron, wait 40 minutes for a cab, fight midday traffic on The Strip and walk the half hour it takes to get from your hotel entrance to the sports book, deals will be hard to come by. Lucky for you, I've got an against the spread tip or three here. If you don't like 'em, well, there are plenty of other sites in Vegas.

This invention relates generally to ultrasonic scanners such as used for medical diagnostic purposes, and more particularly the invention relates to a method and means for providing improved picture display quality with dynamic weighting of pixel data in such a system.
Ultrasonic diagnostic systems are known and commercially available for diagnostic purposes. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,172,386 for "Video A Trace Display System for Ultrasonic Diagnostic System" and U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,433 for "Computerized Ultrasonic Scanner With Technique Select". The commercially available Datason ultrasound system of General Electric Company provides both real time and static images on a television display. The General Electric PASS and PASS II are real time imaging systems which use phased arrays of transducer elements.
Briefly, sush systems utilize sound transducer arrays to transmit ultrasonic (e.g. on the order of several megahertz) waves into a patient and to receive echo signals. The echo signals are applied to a time delaying focus circuit (element to element) with subsequent signal summation and logarithmic compresion and envelope detection before application to time gain compensated amplifier to adjust the echo signals for attenuation in passing through the patient. The adjusted signals are then passed through an analog to digital conversion and video processing circuitry and thence to scan converter circuitry for display formatting. The display comprises a plurality of pixels in horizontal rows ad vertical columns with each pixel having a brightness level in response to the input signal. Conventionally, the brightness is defined by a 2n level Gray-scale, hence the pixel brightness level requires an n bit digital code. The pixel brightness codes are stored in a random access memory with the memory periodically updated in response to video signals produced from the ultrasonic scanner.
In order to improve the signal to noise ratio of the displayed image, some weighted combination of old pixel data and new pixel data is commonly employed. With less random noise in theimage, echogenic targets of interest are better defined and therefore more clinically useful for diagnostic purposes.
Frame to frame video averaging is a common algorithm used to reduce the content or severity of random noise in the echo generated image in order to improve the perceived signal to noise ratio. Frame to frame video averaging, or temporal averaging, is a method by which the current displayed video data point (pixel) is combined with newly collected echo pixel value. The resultant pixel of that combination will be the next one displayed at that location.
The algorithm typically used is a fixed linear weighting average of those two pixels. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,375,671 for "Method and Means for Filtering and Updating Pixel Data" discloses the updating of pixel data by combining stored pixel data and data from the latest scan. Briefly, pixel data to be displayed is stored in a first random access memory. A second random access memory stores values of pixel data for updating the first memory. The second memory is addressed by using the present intensity value for a pixel and the intensity value for the pixel as stored in the first memory. The corresponding intensity value stored in the second memory is then used to update the first memory for the pixel.
A limitation in known pixel averaging techniques is the suppression of large or fast pixel grey level changes of short duration such as in imaging a valve in the heart. The excessive weighting of the currently displayed pixel data versus the new incoming pixel data introduces a hysteresis or persistence effect to moving targets in the two dimensional image. This persistence appears as a smearing or blurring of moving tissue as presented in the image display which is just as undesirable as the noise which the averaging algorithm is intended to suppress. This is particularly troublesome in cardiac imaging and diagnostic applications.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is an improved method of updating pixel data without adversely affecting the imaging of moving tissue.
Another object of the invention is apparatus useful in the updating of moving tissue pixel data in cardiac diagnostic applications while suppressing random noise.
A feature of the invention is the dynamic weighting of new pixel data based on the differential between the new data and the stored pixel data.
The invention is based on the theory that the relative change in pixel amplitude, or contrast ratio, is proportional to target velocity or motion. The larger the change in pixel amplitude or Gray level, the faster the object being imaged is assumed to be moving. As the differential between new pixel data and old pixel data increases, the weighting of the new pixel data increases. Accordingly, fast moving targets will appear without persistence yet random noise at lower amplitudes will tend to be suppressed.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the difference between incoming pixel data and stored pixel data is employed in a weighting factor for weighting the new pixel data and the stored pixel data in suitable lookup tables. The differential in pixel amplitudes along with the old and new pixel values are used to address lookup tables for dynamically weighted values for the new and old pixel values, and the dynamically weighted values are then combined to provide a new pixel value. A third address based upon the display dynamic range acts to normalize the effect of the selected dynamic range on pixel contrast ratio. Display dynamic range is the echo voltage range that will be mapped over the full range of digital pixel values by the ADC, and therefore relates to pixel contrast ratio.
The invention and objects and features thereof will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description and appended claims when taken with the drawing.
FIG. 1 is a function block diagram of an ultrasonic scanner system.
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the image memory portion of the system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of an image memory with dynamic weighting circuitry in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a more detailed schematic of dynamic weighting circuitry in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a Datason ultrasonic scanner. The system includes transducer 10 mounted on a hinged arm system shown generally at 12 whereby transducer 10 can move freely in a single plane. Scanner 10 transmits ultrasonic signals (e.g. on the order of 5 megahertz) and generates electrical signals in response to reflections of transmitted ultrasonic signals. The generated signals are attenuated in time due to attenuation of the ultrasonic signals passing through a patient.
The attenuated video signal is then applied to time gain compensated amplifier 16, and the amplified signal is then applied to analog to digital conversion and video processing circuitry 18. The output of circuitry 18 is then applied to A trace converter circuitry 20 and to scan converter and memory circuitry 22 which generate the signals for controlling television monitors 24 and 26, respectively.
The A trace converter generates a signal for real time display of the amplitude of each reflected ultrasonic wave. The A trace data applied to monitor 24 identifies a horizontal position on the monitor (e.g. 1,000 positions) and an amplitude or vertical position associated with each X position. This data controls the intensity of the electron beam in the display during raster scanning of the beam. Scale markings for the displayed A trace are generated by Comb mark generator 28, and a time gain compensation curve is provided by generator 30.
A section view of the patient is displayed on monitor 26 in response to the scan converter and memory 22. The signal from circuitry 18 is converted for storage in a 512 by 512 memory matrix with each point of the matrix accommodating a 5 bit brightness code. The matrix corresponds to the pixels on the display of monitor 26 with the brightness code being indicative of the Gray-scale for the pixels.
System control is provided by central processing unit 34 which also drives the time base generator 36 which generates the timing signals for the system. A time gain compensation (TGC) control generator 38 generates the control signal for amplifier 16 and a control panel 40 is provided for manual control of the system for the central processing unit.
In the GE PASS and PASS II real time ultrasound imaging systems phases transducer arrays are employed. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,155,258. Signals from the transducer array are time delay focused and summed, logarithmically amplified, envelope detected, time gain compensated, and then converted from analog to digital form.
FIG. 2 is a function block diagram of the image memory portion of the scan converter and memory 22 of FIG. 1. As above indicated, the image memory 44 is a random access memory having storage locations corresponding to the pixels of the display of monitor 26. In the Datason system for example, the display comprises an array of pixels corresponding to 512 X positions and 512 Y position, and the signal intensity for each pixel is defined by 5 bit code. Consequently, memory 44 has 512 X addresses, 512 Y addresses, with each X and Y location accommodating 5 bits of data.
As an ultrasonic beam is transmitted through a patient, the scan converter 22 generates a vector including a plurality of addressable pixels. These pixel addresses are used to address and update memory 44 with the data at the address read out from beam intensity control in the monitor. As data for a pixel is read out of memory 44, the new data can be provided to the memory to update the pixel.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,375,671 discloses circuitry for combining the values of new pixel data and old pixel data through use of a lookup table to obtain image memory data based on a combination of the new and old data. This technique improves the signal to noise ratio of the new pixel data by diminishing the effect of noise on the new pixel data. However, as noted above, the resultant persistence of the image appears as a smearing or blurring of moving tissue as presented in the image display which adversely affects cardiac diagnostic imaging.
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of circuitry in accordance with the invention in which the pixel data is dynamically weighted prior to averaging depending upon the difference between the old pixel and the new pixel data whereby new pixel data is increasingly weighted as the difference between old and new the pixel data increases. As shown in the circuitry of FIG. 3, the analog echo signal at 50 is applied to analog to digital converter circuitry 52, and the output digital data is then applied to a buffer memory and preprocessing circuitry 54. Data for each new pixel, such as pixel A (PA), is then applied to differencer circuitry 56. The other input to the differencer circuitry 56 is obtained from image memory 58 and denoted pixel B (PB) data. The PA and PB values along with the difference from circuitry 56 are applied as addresses to two lookup tables 60 and 62 but are not essential to the invention. In addition, dynamic range selection bits from 64 can be applied as a third address to the lookup table 60 and 62 as shown in FIG. 3, but dynamic range selection is not necessary and is not employed in the schematic of FIG. 4. The output of the tables 60 and 62 are weighted values for PA and PB with the respective weighting constants, KA and KB, varying with the difference between PA and PB and in conjunction with the dynamic range selection bits. The two weighted values of KA PA and KB PB are then summed at 66 and the resultant is halved at 68 to obtain an averaged value, PB ', which is used to update the image memory 58.
Importantly, the value of KA can increase with increasing difference between PA and PB while KB can decrease with an increase in the different between PA and PB. Thus, the value of the incoming date, PA, becomes increasingly important for moving tissue in which the differences in pixel value can be large. Further, the direction of change of PA with respect to PB can be determined by the differencer and affect the averaging weighting assignments differently for the case of PA greater than PB versus PA less than PB. The weighting functions may be linear or non-linear.
FIG. 4 is a detailed schematic of one embodiment of the invention in which dynamic range select bits are not employed. Like elements in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 have the same reference numerals. The components utilized in the circuitry are as follows:

The dynamically weighted averaging of pixel data in accordance with the present invention has proved to be particularly advantageous in cardiac diagnostic applications. The method and apparatus are particularly useful in all applications where fast-moving tissue is to be imaged while retaining optimal control over the signal to noise ratio. While the invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and applications may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

From Nepal to the USA to Portugal and South Africa and Jordan… if you're up for a really big challenge, I've written an introductory guide to some of the world's best long-distance trekking trails. Some of these require months of preparation and months to walk. Others can be divided into smaller, more manageable sections of a week or even a day. This was really fun to write because I got to do a whole lot of research on places that I'd love to go. I've trekked sections of the Great Himalaya Trails in Nepal, and the Te Araroa Trek in New Zealand, but the rest have swiftly been added to my must-do list. Here are the treks I cover in this article: The Via Dinarica, Western Balkans The Great Himalaya Trail, Nepal Rota Vincentina, Portugal Jordan Trail, Jordan Iceland North to South Traverse, Iceland Transcaucasian Trail, Caucasus Mountains Triple Crown of Hiking, USA (Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail and Appalachian Trail) Te Araroa, New Zealand Drakensberg Grand Traverse, South Africa and Lesotho Shikoku Pilgrim's Trail, Japan Read the full article on Kimkim.Read more

Day Hikes in Lower Mustang
I'd been wanting to travel to the Mustang region of Nepal for a long time. It's an ethnically and culturally Tibetan region of Nepal, north of Pokhara and the Annapurnas, that sits in the rain-shadow of the Himalayas. This last year I've really gotten my fill of Tibet and little-Tibets, with my trips to Ladakh in India and Tibet itself in China, but Mustang and its $500 permit still eluded me. However, it's only Upper Mustang for which you have to pay the pricey permit. Lower Mustang (the area around Jomsom, Kagbeni and Muktinath) is accessible and, while not completely permit free, much much cheaper. Thanks to Inside Himalayas and Redhouse Lodge Kagbeni, I travelled to Lower Mustang in February. I flew from Pokhara to Jomsom, an easy 30 minutes through the mountains, rather than go overland via Beni, a trip that would've taken around 10 hours. Most people visit Lower Mustang on the way through to Upper Mustang, while on the Muktinath trek/pilgrimage or as part of the Annapurna Circuit trek. But, as I found out, it's a worthy destination in its own right. I wrote about day hikes around Lower Mustang for Kimkim.com. Check out the full article here, or read on for an extract. Day hikes in Lower Mustang "The Lower Mustang region of Nepal sits on both the classic Annapurna Circuit and is on the way to mysterious Upper Mustang, but it deserves more attention as a destination in its own right.

Nepal Insider Guides on World Nomads
A few months ago I wrote a series of articles for World Nomads. While World Nomads is a travel insurance company (which I have used quite a lot in the past), they also have a growing travel website, with useful articles on a wide range of destinations. While they do have a lot of articles on staying safe while travelling (so you don't have to claim on that insurance!) there's also a lot more practical destination info there too. They specialise in 'insider guides' to destinations, and have just published their Nepal insider guides. I am one of their insiders! Here's a list of the articles I wrote for them, so you can check out whichever may be of interest. 10 Temples and Cultural Landscapes You Must See in Nepal 7 Whitewater Rafting Trips in Nepal for Every Level 8 Incredible Safari Adventures You Must See in Nepal Top National Parks for Adventure Travelers in Nepal 6 Day Trips from Pokhara You Won't Regret 8 Nepali Festivals Every Traveler Should Experience Why Nepal is the Next Ecotourism HotspotRead more
The Hardest Trek in Nepal: Dhaulagiri Circuit
I'm putting this trek in my "so hard I probably won't ever do it" basket. But nevertheless, the Dhaulagiri Circuit trek was an interesting one to research and write about. The eighteen-day trek around Dhaulagiri (8167 metres) gets up to some high altitudes (over 5000 metres) and requires trekking through snow, as well as camping in it, even during the warm seasons. Due to its difficulty it's not an exceptionally popular route. But it does sound like a good challenge for those who are very fit, very experienced trekkers who want to try something different. I wrote this article recently for Kimkim. Read an extract below, or the full article on Kimkim. Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek: One of Nepal's Most Challenging Treks The Dhaulagiri Circuit trek is challenging, and a real adventure for experienced trekkers who are looking for an expedition-like experience. From farming villages in the Himalayan foothills to high alpine pastures, uninhabited valleys and close-up views of several peaks over 8,000 meter, this circuit trek is breathtaking and exciting at every stage. Trek Overview Starting in Beni (a two-three hour drive from Pokhara), the Dhaulagiri Circuit trek is a rugged, high-altitude camping trek in one of the lesser-visited areas of the Annapurna Himalayas. The first few days follow the Myagdi Khola River to the Chhonbardan Glacier, at the foot of Dhaulagiri. The landscape changes from tended farmland to barren, often snow-covered rocky mountains, all with views of Dhaulagiri and other Himalayan giants ahead. As you get higher, the predominantly…Read more
Luxury Travel in the Everest Region
I'm not generally what could be called a 'luxury traveller'. This isn't out of preference, but rather budget! However, through my line of work I've been fortunate to have some wonderful luxury experiences, not least was in the Everest Region of Nepal. Flying over Everest Base Camp in a helicopter was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It was also wonderful to stay in luxury trekking lodges, which are definitely more comfortable than the average budget digs! I highly recommend luxury travel in the Everest Region if your budget allows. A good compromise would even be to skip the helicopter travel and just stay in the beautiful lodges. You have so much more energy left for trekking when you're warm, well-fed and showered with hot water! I recently published an article on Kimkim about exactly this: 'Luxury Trekking in the Everest Region: 9-Day Itinerary'. Read an extract below, or read the full article here. "If you're short on time and looking for a luxury experience, here's a unique way to see the Everest Region and all the main highlights. You'll spend your nights in the comfort of Himalayan resorts (often with panoramic views) and your days either trekking and flying through the Everest region by helicopter.

I've developed a bit of an addiction to matcha lattes and the place delivered. OK people watching. The chain relies on consistency.
A great place to sit and relax with your favorite drink. Just up the street from the touristy Los Olas. This is a little escape. Good drinks, smaller crowds, WiFi and good service all in one place.
Starbucks has national decor they have parking but its never easy off Las Olas. The restaurant is well maintained. The staff at the drive through were helpful, I had a moca frapucciono.
Nice place to take a rest a little bit! When the weather is hot the best is a moka frapucciono with coconut milk! When u are abroad always u can have ur same home like at home!
Went to drive thru, quick and polite. Good range to choose from value for money. Would go again not overcrowded.
Great location on Las Olas, very fast service, clean, good for meetings and short breaks also to open your laptop to work.
Good SB to do a pitstop after a long 4 miles walk from the beach. Clean, spacious, fast and good wifi services. No loud music and good coffees. When we got in there only was a strange man ordering something at the front desk and...More
Good environment, good service, you really get what you want wirh good quality and fair price; I am a regular client.
Great location for a short business meeting. Bathrooms and location were nice and clean. Service was faster than most Starbucks I have been to.
You know what to expect and that's just what you get. Personally I like the banana bread with my coffee.
