Mets MGR Terry Collins on life and his Dad
if you read only one Father's Day sports story this weekend, make it this one
"Terry Collins moved his father to Florida last winter, but as spring training approached, the old man's compass pointed back to Midland, Michigan. It's freezing up there, said Terry. But Loren "Bud" Collins was 95, and knew where he wanted to rest.
"I just think it's time to go home," he said."

437Teavil Leason/Leeson
Expand Messages
- Sep 9, 2006Hello everyone
I am trying to establish if Teavil Leeson/Leason was on the island of St
Helena around the 1812-14 time frame. My reference to him suggests he was an
army captain and may have been the officer in charge at some stage during
Napoleon's exile there, but it then says "there is no evidence to support
this", just that it was a rumour about him in his village when he returned
home to Yorkshire.
I have checked some of my other books but he is not listed but in some
family correspondence he was writing to the Balcombe family who were on the
Island which suggests he could well have been there. Would love to know
where to look!
Many thanks
Caroline Gaden

Quincy Miller RumorsAll NBA Players
Quincy Miller
Position: F
Born: 11/18/92
Height: 6-9 / 2.06
Weight:210 lbs. / 95.3 kg.
Salary: $981,348
Born: 11/18/92
Height: 6-9 / 2.06
Weight:210 lbs. / 95.3 kg.
Salary: $981,348
Vincent Ellis: Without prompting, Drummond said to keep an eye on Quincy Miller. Thinks he has a chance to be part of young group. #Pistons
Bower was pleased with the way the Drive's on-court operation mirrored that of Stan Van Gundy's with the Pistons. "I thought that was a strength going into the year, and it's a strength as we wrap up," he said. "Our comfort level with knowing what, for example, Quincy Miller would find when he got here (Grand Rapids) was very high."
The Detroit Pistons have assigned forward Quincy Miller to the Grand Rapids Drive of the NBA Development League. Miller, who signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Pistons before inking a deal for the remainder of the season, has yet to appear in a game for Detroit this season. In two games with Grand Rapids, he has averaged 11.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in almost 20 minutes. Miller also played six games this season with the Sacramento Kings, averaging 2.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 10.2 minutes.
Shams Charania: Quincy Miller will sign a 2-year deal with Detroit on Thursday, including partial guarantee of nearly $1M next season, source tells RealGM.
Vincent Ellis: SVG says #Pistons keeping Quincy Miller for rest of season and through camp next season. Obviously a partial guarantee.
Marc J. Spears: Pistons coach & prez Stan Van Gundy says Quincy Miller's contract is through this season and includes an invite to training camp next season
Shams Charania: Quincy Miller has agreed on a second 10-day contract with the Pistons, league sources tell RealGM. First Detroit 10 day ended.
The Detroit Pistons have recalled forward Quincy Miller from Grand Rapids of the NBA D-League. Miller, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the Pistons Feb. 21, played two games for the Drive. He had 15 points, 12 rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during a 140-99 rout over the Delaware 87ers Friday.
Dave Pemberton: #Pistons recall Quincy Miller from the D-League. With the Drive, he averaged 11.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.7 mins per game
Van Gundy views Williams as a stretch four and said his acquisition doesn't have any impact on Quincy Miller, signed to a 10-day contract on Saturday, calling Miller "a developmental guy we're looking at to see where we want to go. Shawne's more of a guy we think can play right now. He's a guy that should be ready to go and throw in an NBA game right now."
Adam Zagoria: The Detroit Pistons today signed Quincy Miller from the NBA Development League's Reno Bighorns.
A league source confirmed a RealGM report that the Pistons will sign small forward Quincy Miller to a 10-day contract. The trades for Jackson and Tayshaun Prince left the Pistons with only 13 roster spots so it's understandable why the Pistons are taking a flyer on the D-Leaguer. He had a short stint with the Sacramento Kings this season.
Shams Charania: Free agent Quincy Miller has reached agreement to sign 10-day deal with the Detroit Pistons on Saturday, agent Jared Karnes tells RealGM.
Shams Charania: Kings, Quincy Miller parting for now as he'll play in D-League ASG, sides plan to negotiate new deal afterward, league sources tell RealGM.
Sean Cunningham: Have heard that Quincy Miller's 2nd 10-day contract will begin tomorrow with the Sacramento Kings. Available vs. Cleveland #NBAKings
Forward Quincy Miller, who signed a 10-day contract with the Kings, was not at Wednesday's game because his deal expired. The Kings plan to sign Miller to another 10-day deal and have him available for Friday's game at Cleveland.
Marc J. Spears: Kings will sign forward Quincy Miller to a second 10-day contract once his first one ends, a source said. @qmillertime scored 13 vs GS 1/23.
Archie Goodwin was named MVP of the D-League Showcase. The D-League Showcase First Team featured Lorenzo Brown, Bryce Cotton, Quincy Miller, Clint Capela and Willie Reed.
Jared Karnes: Really proud of @Quincy Miller. Will not be finishing the DLeague Showcase so he can report to Sacramento for the game tonight. 10-day.
Kings calling up Quincy Miller
Shams Charania: Sacramento has reached agreement to sign Quincy Miller out of Reno to a 10-day contract, league sources tell RealGM.
Shams Charania: Quincy Miller of Reno is scheduling meetings with the Pacers, Hawks, Thunder and Spurs at NBA D-League showcase, league sources tell RealGM.
Here's 10 potential call-ups to watch at the D-League Showcase. 1. Quincy Miller, Reno Bighorns, F, 6-10, 219 pounds: "He's still young and might be the best prospect with his length, ability to play small forward and power forward, make 3-pointers and handle the ball, too." 2. JaMychal Green, Austin Spurs, F, 6-9, 220 pounds: "He is the MVP of the D-League so far. He can rebound and he can spread the floor. He's a jump shooter who can knock down the 12- 15-footer and is a consistent rebounder." 3. Seth Curry, Erie Bay Hawks, G, 6-1, 180 pounds: "He is the D-League's best shooter. He is a combo guard who plays primarily off the ball. He lacks quickness, but makes up with it with his savvy style."
Gino Pilato: After Elijah Millsap, good chance Quincy Miller could be the next Call-Up. Hearing several teams are interested according to a source.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful
Deeply Dissapointing,
This review is from: Captain Phillips [DVD] [2013] (DVD)
Coming off the back of two fine players (Greengrass and Hanks) and some fantastic reviews and accolades I expected so much. Never have I been so let down. The first 30 minutes or so is indeed quite gripping as Greengrass manages to show how edge of the seat the actual hi jack was-but after the pace being cranked up the rest becomes more of the same. Intolerable soundtrack-shouting pirates and more of the same. After a strong start Greengrass fails to maintain the tension-and it just becomes a routine thriller. By the end this overly long film became tiresome and tedious and I was losing the will to live. I did not care for Captain Phillips-and for me, a director being able to get you to invest emotionally in its main protaganists is key to keeping my interest. It couldve lost 30 minutes easily. My three stars is being generous too. Hanks saved this. Without him it couldve been diabolical

Diabolical without Hanks? Yeah, Hanks was very good, but so were the supporting cast. Personally I thought the tension and suspense remained until the end.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
09 Jan 2013 16:09 GMT | Sport, Football, Algeria, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea
Ivory Coast striker Gervinho has promised to erase the bitter memory of his country's last African Nations Cup and score the winning goal in the tournament which kicks off in South Africa later this month.The Arsenal striker was distraught after his failure from the penalty spot in last year's final in Libreville allowed Zambia to beat the Elephants 8-7 in a shoot-out after the match had ended in a 0-0 draw.Gervinho had scored the winning goal in the semi-final against Mali but the Ivorians then blew their chance of becoming African champions for the first time since 1992.
"We learnt a lot from the defeat last season. We know we need to avoid the penalty kicks as we don't have good takers, especially me"
They also lost on penalties in the 2006 final in Egypt but this time Gervinho believes things will be different, although avoiding the stress of penalty shoot-outs will be a priority."I am very excited and I am even more motivated than last year where we lost in the final and got denied that trophy that we have been waiting for so long," he told Arsenal's website."We have the chance to redeem ourselves. We are determined to win it this year and free us from that spell which has been on us for a long time."It (the penalty miss last year) was very tough. I tried not to think about it. It should have been a great moment and it turned into a nightmare. It was frustrating. My aim is to redeem myself this time and I know I will do it."I missed my penalty last year but this time I will score the winner to offer the trophy to Ivory Coast. I have faith in myself and my teammates. This year will be the one for us. "We learnt a lot from the defeat last season. We know we need to avoid the penalty kicks as we don't have good takers, especially me," he said.
National pride
Ivory Coast, who also have Didier Drogba and Yaha Toure in their squad, are again one of the fancied teams for the title although they must survive a tough-looking group which includes Togo, Tunisia and Algeria.With the tournament taking place a year after it was held in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea many club managers around the European leagues are rueing the loss of key players again at a crucial stage of the domestic season.However, Gervinho said the tournament was a matter of great national pride for Africans."We will aim to win every game until the end," he said.
"We are not getting carried away and thinking of the final yet but we want to stay focused for each game, and not panic."This is our European Championship. It's the competition of the Africans. It's the only competition that the African fans are really passionate about even if they love the domestic European leagues, the Champions League or the World Cup."This is their competition and they all want to win it. Each country and each president wants this trophy. It's very special for us."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a computer workstation, and, more particularly, to a keyboard support for a computer workstation.
2. Description of the Related Art
A computer workstation often includes a keyboard tray for supporting a computer keyboard. The keyboard, mouse pad and mouse are supported by and are freely slidable across the upper surface of the keyboard tray. A problem is that the positions of the keyboard and mouse pad must be frequently adjusted by the user in order to compensate for the sliding of the keyboard and mouse pad on the upper surface of the keyboard tray. Another problem is that the cords leading from the keyboard and mouse often become undesirably placed as the keyboard and mouse slide across the keyboard tray. This may lead to the cords being snagged, thereby pulling the keyboard and mouse off of the keyboard tray, which can result in damage to the mouse and keyboard. Yet another problem is that the sliding of the keyboard across the keyboard support can cause squeaking or other irritating sounds which add to the noise level of the office environment.
What is needed in the art is a keyboard assembly that supports a keyboard and mouse without allowing the keyboard and mouse to slide around on the surface of the supporting surface.
The present invention provides an integral keyboard, tray, mouse pad and wrist rest that attaches and detaches from a work surface with a quick-connect coupler.
The invention comprises, in one form thereof, a keyboard assembly including an integral keyboard device having a keyboard pad support, a keyboard pad, and a wrist rest. An attachment assembly attaches the integral keyboard device to a work surface.
An advantage of the present invention is that the keyboard and mouse pad are in a fixed position, and do not slide around on a keyboard support surface.
Another advantage is that the present invention occupies less space within a work cubical than does a separate keyboard, mouse pad and keyboard tray.
Yet another advantage is that the keyboard cord can be placed in a fixed position, thereby preventing the cord from getting snagged.
A further advantage is a reduction in the number of required components and, thus, a reduction in their associated costs.
The above-mentioned and other features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of one embodiment of a keyboard assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the integral keyboard device of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a side view similar to FIG. 1, illustrating the keyboard assembly of the present invention for use with a laptop computer.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplifications set out herein illustrate one preferred embodiment of the invention, in one form, and such exemplifications are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown one embodiment of a keyboard assembly 10 of the present invention, including an integral keyboard device 12 and an attachment assembly 14. Attachment assembly 14 is attached to an underside 16 of a desk top 18 having a work surface 20. Attachment assembly 14 includes a quick-connect coupler 22, a mounting arm 24, a pair of mounting brackets 26 and a pair of tracks 28, one of which is shown.
Integral keyboard device 12 includes a keyboard pad 30, a keyboard pad support 32, a wrist rest 34, a mouse pad 36 and an indentation or "mouse house" 38. A communication cord 40 is attached to integral keyboard device 12 and carries data which is dependent upon the actuation of keyboard pad 30 by a user, as is well known. Keyboard pad 30 includes a plurality of rows and columns of keys 42, as is also well known. Keyboard pad support 32 is in the form of a plastic tray that supports keyboard pad 30. Keyboard pad support 32 is integrally formed with pad 30 and with all other components of integral keyboard device 12.
Wrist rest 34 is an elongate pad extending along the length of keyboard pad 30. As best seen in FIG. 1, an upper surface 44 of wrist rest 34 is positioned above an upper surface 46 of keyboard pad support 32. Thus, wrist rest 34 supports a user's wrists or palms at a level above upper surface 46 of keyboard pad support 32. Mouse pad 36 provides a surface on which a computer mouse can be operated.
Indentation 38 provides an area in which a computer mouse can be stored and retained while not in use. Indentation 38 may be in communication with an optional channel 48 in which a cord of a computer mouse may be stored and retained. Alternatively, the cord of the computer mouse may be routed through the body of keyboard pad support 32 and through cord 40.
Quick-connect coupler 22 is a universal attachment that can be quickly and easily snapped onto integral keyboard device 12. Actuation of a button or lever (not shown) releases integral keyboard device 12 from quick-connect coupler 22 and allows device 12 to be detached from coupler 22.
A first end of mounting arm 24 is attached to quick-connect coupler 22. A second end of mounting arm 24 is pivotably attached to mounting brackets 26 at pivot points 50, only one of which is shown. More particularly, mounting arm 24 can pivot clockwise or counterclockwise about pivot points 50 in the plane of the page of FIG. 1. Mounting arm 24 includes a channel 52 in which cord 40 can be retained, thereby preventing snagging of cord 40. Channel 52 can have one open side through which cord 40 can be inserted into channel 52. Alternatively, channel 52 can be in the form of a through channel, i.e., channel 52 can be enclosed throughout 360� and have two open ends through which cord 40 is threaded.
Tracks 28 each slidably retain a respective one of mounting brackets 26. That is, each mounting bracket 26 can be slid within tracks 28 in the directions of double arrow 54 as a result of the user pushing integral keyboard device 12 toward desk top 18 or pulling integral keyboard device 12 away from desk top 18. Tracks 28 are rigidly affixed to underside 16 of desk top 18.
Integral keyboard device 12 is shown in FIG. 2 as being in the form of a keyboard input device for inputting data into a separate computer. However, it is to be understood that the integral keyboard device of the present invention may also be in the form of a laptop computer 60, as shown in FIG. 3.
While this invention has been described as having a preferred design, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.

A broadband RF transformer design is described that facilitates the construction of a broadband impedance transformer in a compact, planar format, while retaining ease of assembly and manufacture. Broadband operation is achieved through the use of a slotted low-impedance winding structure, common-manufacture ferrite elements, and the optional placement of reactive elements between winding turns. By virtue of construction, thermal performance is enhanced, allowing operation at power levels not previously possible. The invention accommodates functional tuning via laser or abrading techniques. Also, the winding configuration eliminates the need to access the center of a spiral for the purposes of establishing a ground connection.
1. A boardband RF transformer having a primary metalization layer (200) forming multiple primary turns and primary terminals (211, 212), said primary metalization layer having an overlaying and adjacent first thermally-conductive ferrite layer (100) having a thickness, a secondary metalization layer (400) forming a single secondary turn (401) and secondary terminals (407, 408), a dielectric layer (300) having a thickness separating said primary layer and said secondary layer, said multiple primary turns generally overlaying said single secondary turn, said primary turns forming a path on said secondary turn when projected thereon, said secondary metalization layer having an underlaying and adjacent substrate layer (500) having a thickness and made of a thermally-conductive material, said substrate layer having an underlaying and adjacent second thermally-conductive ferrite layer (600) having a thickness.
2. The transformer of claim 1 wherein said secondary metalization layer includes a slot geometry (405) in its metalization along said path, said slot geometry comprising slots of a generally uniform thickness and length, said slots having a generally uniform spacing therebetween, the length of each slot generally parallel with said path.
3. The transformer of claim 1 having at least one bridging capacitor (205, 207) coupled between the primary turns.
4. The transformer of claim 1 wherein said primary metalization layer comprises a first primary metalization area (201) and a second metalization area (203), said secondary metalization layer having a crossover metalization area (403) deposited thereon, said crossover electrically insulated from said secondary turn, said first primary metalization area coupled to said crossover via a first hole (303) located in said dielectric layer, said second primary metalization area coupled to said crossover via a second hole (305) located in said dielectric layer.
This application relates to broadband transformers for RF power applications.
Several methodologies are available for the design of an RF power amplifier. Stripline techniques, lumped LC networks, an broadband transformers are most commonly used for impedance matching functions in such designs. Practical implementation of wideband designs is facilitated most effectively through the use of broadband transformers.
Broadband transformers can be categorized either as conventional coupled winding structures or as transmission line transformers. Although transmission line transformers are useable at high frequencies, balanced to unbalanced winding transformations are often required in addition to the intended impedance transformation in such realizations. These structures are physically large and fabrication becomes difficult and costly.
Conventional coupled winding transformers are capable of balanced to unbalanced transformation while simultaneously providing the required impedance transformmation, but are useable only at low operating freqencies. Their fundamental limitation lies in the control of parasitic reactive elements internal to the construction of the transformer.
Used as impedance matching elements, the input and output transformers are among the most critical components in the design of a multi-octave amplier. The total performance of the amplifier (linearity, efficiency, VSWR tolerance, gain flatness) will depend on their quality.
In the past transformers capable of operating with low secondary impedances and large transformation ratios have been constructed using sections of low-dielectric constant, semi-rigid coaxial cable. Although occupying reasonable volumes, the units are difficult to fabricate, and are limited in power handling capability due to the thermal isolation of the inner conductor. One factor here is that these structures achieve low-frequency operation by the addition of E & I core-type ferrite materials using shapes that add to the manufacturing cost.
One approach that has been an improvement over the foregoing approach has been to construct the transformer in a planar format. Although using low cost ferrite plates, the laminate dielectric material limits operation to low-power levels, typically under 10 watts. The spiral winding geometry and multiple-turn secondary also necessitates the use of discrete crossover metalization and insulators.
Therefore, it would be desirable to produce an improved broadband RF transformer.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved broadband RF transformer. According to the invention a broadband RF transformer is described that facilitates the construction of a broadband impedance transformer in a compact, planar format, while retaining ease of assembly and manufacture. Broadband operation is achieved through the use of a slotted low-impedance winding structure, common-manufacture ferrite elements, and the optional placement of reactive elements between winding turns. By virtue of construction, thermal performance is enhanced, allowing operation at power levels not previously possible. The invention accommodates functional tuning via laser or abrading techniques. Finally, the winding configuration eliminates the need to access the center of a spiral for the purposes of establishing a ground connection.
FIG. 1a shows an exploded view of the first embodiment of a broadband RF transformer, according to the invention.
FIG. 1b shows a second view of the first embodiment.
FIG. 1c shows a third view of the first embodiment.
FIG. 2a shows a first electrical representation.
FIG. 2b shows a second electrical representation.
FIG. 3a shows a first impedance map.
FIG. 3b shows a second impedance map.
FIG. 1a shows an exploded view of the first embodiment of the invention. The basic structure consists of a multi-turn high impedance primary winding layer 200 separated from a single-turn low impedance secondary winding layer 400 by a glass dielectric layer 300. As shown, the primary winding comprises a first metalization area 201 and a second metalization area 203, whereas the secondary winding comprises a single metalization area 401. The dielectric layer 300 is typically 4-8 mil thick. The planar format for the windings and dielectric allows for convenient manufacture via thick-film screening processes.
There is also shown in FIG. 1a a parallel-plate transmission line system, formed by the high impedance primary winding 201, 203 over the low impedance secondary winding 401, separated by the dielectric 300. When the primary load impedance at terminals 211 and 212 is known and the secondary load impedance at terminals 407 and 408 is known, the characteristic impedance of this system is given by the well-known relationship: z0 =[z1 z1 z2 ]1/2 where z1 is the primary load, z2 is the secondary load, and z0 is the characteristic impedance. The width 209 of the primary winding 201, 203 is related to the inverse of the characteristic impedance z0. As with conventional transformers, the impedance transformation ratio is dependent on the turns ratio squared. In practice, the length of the single-turn secondary winding 401 is limited to 1/8 wavelength at the highest frequency of operation to eliminate unintentional transmission line resonances.
In applications requiring a large transformation ratio and secondary impedances on the order of a few ohms (e.g., RF power transistors), the above constraints result in a primary winding comprised of multiple turns of a physically wide conductor. To ensure a compact structure, a high-K (dielectric constant) dielectric deposited in a thin layer permits realization of the appropriate characteristic impedance while maintaining a manageable line width. The high dielectric constant further operates to reduce the physical length of the 1/8 wavelength winding, by reducing its phase velocity.
The thin dielectric 300 facilitates close coupling between the primary and secondary windings, as required for a low loss transformation. If the dielectric 300 is too thin and/or possesses a very high dielectric constant, excessive capacitance between the windings will appear across the load to be transformed, resulting in poor high frequency response. This effect is minimized through the deposition of the single turn secondary 401 with a slot geometry 405 in its metalization at regular intervals, along the path of the primary. The slot geometry 405 diminishes the inter-winding capacitance while maintaining tight coupling between the primary 201, 203 and secondary 401. Excessively large slot areas have the effect of reducing the coupling between the primary and secondary, thereby increasing loss. The slot dimensions must therefore be chosen to allow operation at the highest frequency of interest while maintaining low loss operation. In practice, satisfactory operation thru 200 Mhz has been effected with slots 100 mils long by 30 mils wide, spaced every 50 mils.
Extension of the transformer's response to low frequencies is accomplished by the addition of ferrite plate 100 and ferrite plate 600. Use of such material increases the magnetizing inductance Lm, as shown in FIG. 2b, without the need to increase the number of turns in the primary and secondary. The turns ratio, however, would remain constant. The ferrite slabs 100 and 600 shown are simple, inexpensive, easily manufacturable alternatives to the more complex ferrite shapes (e.g., E & L cores, pot cores, etc.) required by alternate transformer designs. The thickness and composition of plates 100 and 600 may vary according to the desired frequency, power, and temperature operating ranges of the transformer.
At operating frequencies where the length of the primary winding 201, 203 exceeds the 1/8 wavelength limitation, the primary winding may be electrically shortened over a frequency interval by the addition of one or more bridging capacitors across adjacent or alternate turns of the winding 201, 203, such as capacitors 205 and 207. These primary winding bridging capacitors 205 and 207 are also shown in FIG. 1b. At operating frequencies in the 100 to 200 Mhz range, suitable capacitor values may be 100 pf, for example. Conceptually, the primary winding appears to be shortened in the frequency band where the reactance of the capacitor is small compared to that of the turn(s) which it bridges. At low frequencies, where the capacitive reactance is high, the line behaves as if the capacitor is absent. A resonance is established between the capacitor and the fraction of the total magnetizing inductance present between the turns bridged by the capacitor. The net effect is a compression of the impedance locus near the resonant frequency. FIG. 3a shows an impedance map 1200 generated between 132 MHz (marker 1201) and 174 MHz (marker 1203) looking into the low impedance winding of a 5-turn transformer (high impedance winding terminated with 50 ohms). With the addition of two capacitors placed across adjacent turn positions on the high impedance primary winding, the locus of impedance points between these two frequency limits becomes greatly compacted. This result can be appreciated with reference to FIG. 3b, which illustrates an impedance map 1300 generated between 132 MHz (marker 1301) and 174 MHz (marker 1303) after capacitors 205 and 207 have been installed. The effect has value in improving boardband performance, but generally requires the transformer to be constructed with additional turns (higher transformation ratio) to compensate for the impedance rise at resonance.
Referring still to FIG. 1a, thermal performance of the invention is enhanced through the use of an alumina substrate 500 or other thermally conductive substrate medium as a host for the winding and dielectric system. A typical thickness for substrate 500 is 35 mil. Winding conductor and dielectric losses, manifest as heat, are efficiently dissipated through such a substrate 500. The low impedance winding 401, with its high current density and associated higher power dissipation relative to the high impedance winding 201, 203 is the logical choice for deposition, directly on the substrate. Previous designs fabricated from printed circuit laminate materials were limited to operating powers below 10 watts. At higher levels, destruction of the dielectric material and/or delamination of the windings from the dielectric were observed.
In use, the magnetizing inductance Lm, shown in FIG. 2b, must be electrically compensated. This is accomplished through the addition of a capacitor across one or both of the windings. This action resonates the structure, typically at the center of the frequency band of interest. Assembly of the transformer on substrate 500 as described allows for the use of capacitors comprised of area plates above a ground plane, commonly referred to as "area capacitors." Turning to FIG. 1c, depicted element 801 is an area capacitor for the high impedance winding 201, 203 and depicted element 803 is an area capacitor for the low impedance winding 401. Such construction further allows these capacitors to be functionally turned or adjusted via laser or metalization abrading techniques. This method is proposed as an alternative to hand-selection of fixed values or trimmer capacitors, as is common in the prior art.
The geometry of the high impedance winding 201, 203 is unique in that it eliminates the need to elevate a conductor above the layer of plane 200 of the winding as would be necessary in making connection to the center of a spiral winding. Planar inductors and transformers make use of the spiral configuration when there is no need to access both ends of the winding, as is the case when a ground return is provided with a via hole through the substrate. Wound in the fashion shown in FIG. 1a, the low and high impedance connections are available on opposite sides of the transformer structure for layout convenience, while making available electrical connection to both ends of the windings. The feature is made possible by providing an open area 409 of the single turn secondary metalization area 401 in which a crossover 403 for the high impedance winding 201, 203 is deposited. As shown, crossover 403 is arranged to make contact with primary winding metalization areas 201 and 203 via holes 303 and 305 in dielectric layer 300. The insulator material for the crossover 403 is the same as used for the dielectric 300 separating the primary 201, 203 and secondary 401 windings. As shown, it is made a part thereof.
The invention, as described herein, is broadly applicable to RF circuits and systems requiring transformation of impedance levels between balanced and/or unbalanced sources and loads.
The winding features of the primary is additionally applicable to printed inductor elements in which access to both ends of the conductor is desired.
While various embodiments of a broadband RF transformer, according to the present invention, have been described hereinabove, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:It surpassed all my expectationsThe script is great, the story is engaging and entertaining, the characters are lovable, and the soundtrack is perfect. I wish there was more of this anime, or at least more like it. Truly one of a kind and the best anime to be made in a long time.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Beautiful and Full of Lifethis is an anime that would make you laugh, cry, smile, think of going back to the 60's so on.

Kids of the Slope was such a pleasant surprise. From the synopsis, I imagined a typical music anime, just one based on jazz. However, it was amazing to discover that this series was about so much than that.

Bittersweet to the end and short enough to not drag out. Like any good jazz song. It's a coming of age tale that feels somewhat predictable in it's handling of high school emotions but right when you've got the whole thing figured out it changes on you. They switch tune and tone. ...Read more

The music. The music! THE MUSIC! It is absolutely wonderful! That's to be expected when you've got Yoko Kanno working on it. There was a smile on my face every time the character would jam.

Applet lifecycle
by smbell - 2006-01-27 08:22The applet lifecycle, in terms of a user moving on and of the web page, especially now that tabbed browsing is so common (more likely for a user to move off of and come back to a page), is an annoying hastle with little benifit. For most basic things a well constructed web page/app is sufficient. If I really need/want that nice rich GUI I'll move to a Swing app.

The CNN Belief Blog, which has graciously featured a few of my pieces, just celebrated its first anniversary, and for the occasion, its editors reflected on 10 things they've learned in the course of the year. The one that got my eye was this: Atheists are by far the most fervent commentators on matters religious.
This completely coincides with my own experience as an Internet commentator and blogger. Every day, my website and YouTube page are inundated with remarks, usually of a sharply negative or dismissive nature, from atheists, agnostics and critics of religion.

Readers may remember when last fall, Pope Benedict encouraged us to read the Bible. As I remarked then on these pages, his urging came timely on for me and happily as I had not more than a month before started on that very mission.
Even so, it embarrassed me, because I should have done such reading long ago. I can almost hear a reproach - "And he calls himself a Catholic!"
The Reform Party idealism of the 1980s and early 1990s that proclaimed Canada should have an equal, elected and effective Senate is pretty much dead. But that doesn't mean that Senate reform should be forsaken. It will have to be an ongoing task rather than a one bill fixes all solution.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's encouragement for more Senate elections and fixed terms is a positive move that is far from radical. Nevertheless, the Ontario and Quebec governments reacted with predictable outrage. They see elected representation in the Senate as something that would increase the Senate's legitimacy as a voice of regional representation and thus be a threat to their own power.
Am I happy? Is my life a happy one? Am I happy inside my marriage? Am I happy with my family? Am I happy in my job? Am I happy with my church? Am I happy inside my own skin?
Are these good questions to ask ourselves? No. They're questions with which to torture ourselves.
The Church, which we love, is going through many trials. These trials remind us that we need Jesus to take charge of our lives in a new and profound way.
Pope Benedict, when he was a cardinal, said this: "The Church will be reduced in its dimensions; it will be necessary to start again. However, from this test, a Church would emerge that will have been strengthened by the process of the simplification it experienced, by its renewed capacity to look within itself. . . .
The Church has just celebrated one of the most important days on the liturgical calendar, the feast of Pentecost, the feast of the Holy Spirit. There are three great symbols classically associated with the third person of the Trinity, namely, water, fire, and wind. Each of these has a negative connotation, for the Holy Spirit is dangerous.
All of us who witnessed the destruction wreaked by Hurricane Katrina six years ago can testify to the devastating punch that water can pack. A major American city was brought to its knees by the inundation that came from the skies, from the sea, and from reservoirs that poured through broken levees.
On March 17, Archbishop Richard Smith joined with 22 other faith leaders to make a public "shared commitment to eliminate homelessness in our community" and "to support the challenging goals of Edmonton's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness."
Local congregations and faith organizations were invited to get more involved with the issues of homelessness and affordable housing. A Congregational Housing Action Guide has been prepared to assist local parishes. Several hundred copies have now been distributed across the Edmonton region.
This week I heard about the death of a family friend: Dr. Hugh Maclure. His passing marked the end of an era for me: He and my father were good friends beginning in the 1950s when I was a small boy. They shared similar Christian world views and general outlook on life.
Although my father died more than 40 years ago, being in the company of Dr. Maclure reminded me of that world.
To paraphrase the French philosopher, Jacques Maritain: The Quebec government cannot see that man must choose between two ways: the way of Calvary and the way of slaughter. Maritain's comment, made in 1938, was actually about the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
But it is appropriate to describing the current path of government in Quebec which, having abandoned the Catholic faith, is now on a path of militant atheism. The government no doubt blindly believes this is a path of liberation for its people.
The Last Supper account in John's Gospel gives us a wonderful mystical image. The evangelist describes the beloved disciple as reclining on the breast of Jesus.
What's contained in this image? A number of things.

The bio touches his early acting career, including his first TV appearance on "The Dating Game," recalls his success on "Three's Company" and relives his return to TV on "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter." The profile features archival interviews with Ritter, as well as insights from his wife, Amy Yasbeck; Katey Sagal; Henry Winkler; Joyce DeWitt; and Suzanne Somers. A revealing look at one of the most likable comedians in television: from his boyhood as the son of a cowboy legend to his superstar turn in Three's Company, to the re-birth of his career on 8 Simple Rules to his untimely passing and the pending wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family he left behind.moreless
