iPod wins What Hi-Fi? Digital Jukebox Group Test
In the December issue of What Hi-Fi? magazine (UK), Apple's 20GB iPod wins the group test against the likes of the Archos AV320, Creative Jukebox 3, Creative Zen NX, iRiver iHP-100 and Thomson's Lyra. The test found the iPods pros were -"Controlled, detailed sound; easy to use; slim and incredibly stylish; better value than ever." Cons were - "Bass could be beefer; supplied headphones look great but are best replaced" Verdict - "More memory for the money and ever-more options mean our Award winning portable just got even better."

I think with the current batch of portables out there, the rational conclusion is that there is no clear winner for every type of custumer.
Value is probablly the Zen NX.
Style, ease of use, size is the iPod.
Fetaures is the iRiver iHP-120
Rio Karma comes somewhere inbetween all of them.
Lots of other variables:
-all the players above have over 10 hours battery life expect the iPod.
-The Zen NX is the only one with a replacable battery
Considering the vast number of consumers out there, they're just to many different demands for anyone player to satisfy. Sometimes a product comes out in an industry that mostly beats the competition in most categories, and becomes the defacto choice for that generation of product for 75% (or more) of the potential customers. You can then probablly make a statement that that one is the best, but the hard-drive MP3 market right now (Winter 2003), does not have such an item. It merely has a many many very good products each matching a wide variety of different consumer demands.
(For example, some people couldn't care less if the NXXtra has a replacable battery, for others battery life is really important, others price for capcity is the most importnat factor, and so on…)

"there is no clear winner for every type of custumer"
Hello?? it's What Hi-Fi's best choice, not "every consumer's" best choice. If it were every consumer's choice, then everyone would have one… see the contradiction you've placed on yourself?
mp3 is becoming more and more popular, but let's not forget you'll need a rather modern computer to use them in the first place, so it won't be "every" consumer's choice for a while as not everyone owns a computer and love music the same time (and if only they want to be bothered or knowing how to convert their music to a compressed format).

it says headphones should be replaced? with what? i guess there is a froum thread somwhere but hey im lazy :P
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on December 8, 2003 at 5:43 AM (CST)
For the best sound:value, replace them Sony Fontopia earbuds. There are several versions, depending on how much you want to spend. I have these and these.
I actually like the latter better, as they have larger drive units for more sound with less effort, although audiophiles prefer the former.
I hear Shure also makes some good ones, but I haven't used them myself.

For me, the only choice in headphones are the Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones. They are a bit pricey, and they aren't meant for running, but I don't use my iPod while running anyway.

Hi, just a comment back to my wife up there.
First, I never read Wi-Fi, but most of these kinds of magaiznes, when talking about MP3 players, make a choice and pass it as a recommendation for people in general to follow. Instead of some rational advice on how someone should go about figuring out which player would suit them. To many of them come to the conclusion that the iPod is the ulitmate recommendation when buying an MP3 player.
And in case you're confused, when I said customer, I was obviouslly talking about customers in the market for MP3 players. That's why I later referred to them as " potential customers".
I recommend you read things a little more carefully, and then think a little more about the things you read. It's actually pretty good life advice, I find.

Four channels of 1073 style preamps with eq for less than the price of one vintage Neve 1073!
The Vintech Audio 473 features four 1073 microphone preamplifiers with "essential eq" on every channel. We call the high and low shelving eq adjustments "essential" because they really help to enhance certain instruments and impart a certain magic to the sound like a vintage Neve 1073.
Frequency choices are 3.2k and 12k for the highs and 60hz and 220hz on the low shelving but can be special ordered at other practical frequencies. Each channel also offers an input sensitivity adjustment allowing up to 70db of gain, an input impedance switch, a mic-line switch, an instrument input and switches for phantom power, phase reverse and eq on or off.
This unit contains no IC's and no surface mount components, and is made in the USA.
Vintech External PSU is required to power this unit.
The Wunder Audio Wunderbar SE (summing edition) was designed to allow DAW producers, engineers, and musicians the ability to access large format mix topologies while maintaining the speed, flexibility, and automation of your DAW.
This analog console master section features The Wunderbahn, the worlds first desk to come standard with three vintage stereo bus flavors (Neve, API, Wunder) and employs a fully symmetrically balanced discrete summing bus system. The three stereo bus flavors can be infinitely blended to achieve the sonic pallet of your liking.
This desk includes the complete master section, cinema display section and summing busses from the original Wunderbar.
The Wunderbar SE includes the complete master section, cinema display section and summing busses from the original Wunderbar console.
The Neve 1073 was originally launched in 1970, the Neve 1073 Classic soon became the first choice mic preamp for leading producers and artists. Found on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years, the big, punchy sound of the 1073 complements any musical genre – from rock to rap to classical. The quality is legendary. Designed and built in England, the modern-day 1073DPX is produced to the exact specifications of the original with matched components to ensure the sound remains true.
The 1073DPX has two channels of Neve 1073 Class A design microphone preamplifiers, each with 3-band EQ (fixed HF plus two switchable bands with cut/boost capability) and high pass filter, adding warmth and depth to recordings, bringing out subtle ambience, maintaining spatial positioning, and capturing a more precise image – embodying, think many engineers and producers, the essence of the genuine Neve sound.
Building on the 1073 classic module features, the 1073DPX introduces extra functionality with integrated DI input, phantom power, selectable Insert feature, level meters, selectable headphone monitoring and I/O connectors on each channel for easy and direct connection of microphones and instruments.
The 19" rack-mount 2U unit includes an external multi-voltage PSU.
The Grimm Audio LS1 is a ground breaking Monitor Loudspeaker that delivers a truly neutral yet detailed reproduction, unidirectional all the way down to 250hz.
A good monitor combines a high degree of accuracy with untrammeled musicality. There aren't many of those around - common wisdom has it that you can have one or the other but never both. The LS1 is the first monitor to prove conventional wisdom wrong.
By integrating top quality digital signal processing, converters and amplifiers in one of the speakers' legs, we were able to apply technical strategies no one had used before. As a consequence, the LS1 is not just a loudspeaker, but a complete audio system that only needs an analog or digital line source to perform.
True accuracy is about getting all the bits in the right place: not losing anything, not adding anything either. The LS1 offers this accuracy, reproducing a truly musical recording accurately, with all beauty intact. At the same time, the LS1 will also reproduce any imperfection, giving you all the information you need to get it right. These qualities make the LS1 an ideal monitor for both mastering and mixing.
Looking at the design, the box is much wider than it is deep, the small (14 litres) sealed box is designed to provide an effective baffle down to around 250Hz. It is suspended between two half cylinders that combat diffractions and function as an integral two-legged floor stand. An 8" magnesium woofer and a 1" dome tweeter divide the work between them. Smart use of DSP linearizes the frequency response and allows for a controlled bass response down to 35 Hz.
Housed in one of the two legs are a 48/76-bit DSP, digital I/O, AD/DA, the same clock circuit as our CC1 master clock and the drive electronics, encompassing two 180W Class D power amplifiers of the groundbreaking Hypex NCore type.
The concept of the LS1 draws maximum benefit from intelligent application of DSP technology. An IIR crossover imposes exact LR4 acoustic slopes crossing at 1550Hz, and the phase is subsequently corrected using an idealised inverted all-pass filter, resulting in a maximally linear phase response without any pre-echo's. This removes the "digital loudspeaker sound signature" typical of the more ubiquitous impulse inverted FIR designs.
Despite their compact size, the floor standing speakers are clearly intended as main monitors in mastering studios and mixing rooms that have space to put free-standing speakers. The DSP controlled analog subwoofer output allows for easy integration with stereo subwoofers, for those that need high SPL performance below 40 Hz. By selecting our LS1s subwoofer, perfect integration with the main system is obtained, effectively turning the LS1 into a threeway system.
The Wunder Audio CM7 FET Microphone is a faithfull re-creation of the U47 FET Mic, a phantom powered version of the U47 originally released in 1969. The circuit was quite desirable, using transistors creating a very robust sound. The Fet mic has since obtained a legendary status being the most preferred mic in obtaining larger-than-life Kick and Bass tracks as well as thick and full vocals. The U47 Fet is now becoming as sought after as the U47.
Employing the exact replica of the original grille is one of the key aspects of achieving the correct performance of this mic.
The CM7 Fet Package includes:
CM7 FET Microphone, K47 Dual Membrane Capsule, Plush Oak Microphone Box, Historic Shock-mount, and 1-year warranty.
The Avenson Audio STO-2 are small diaphragm omni directional condenser microphones that are sold as matched pairs and come in a beautifully crafted wooden case.
The Avenson STO-2 works just like a pressure transducer. So do your ears. No Coincidence. Brad Avenson started out looking for a natural sounding mic and this is what we came up with.
Sold in matched pairs, (two ears right?) the STO-2's are perfect for capturing a very natural sound and work perfectly for instruments that need no flattery. With a matched pair, stereo is no problem – Jecklin disk or spaced pair – it will sound like you are standing there.
Made in the USA from solid aluminum, the mics are built to withstand the rigors of the studio or the road. At only 5? long and 1? around they are easy to position and fit in standard mic clips.
The STO-2''s are a good choice for recording piano, guitars, drums, percussion and many other instruments. Highly recommended!!
The Kush Audio Tweaker is an exteremly flexible single channel compressor. The Tweaker has taken 4 years in the making and according to its designer there isn't a style of compression it can't do masterfully – clean, gritty, subdued, hammered, whatever. Tape Op agrees, saying its extreme versatility makes it "a musical instrument in its own right." Things sound better just running through it, warmer, more organic.
Tweaker is an entirely new animal, and the controls let you cop the best tricks from other smashboxes such as API 2500, Valley Dynamite, LA2A, Tape, and of course transparent compression. While the Tweaker can emulate these types of compressors it also lets you go way beyond. While it's a bit cliché, it's also true: some tools are only limited by your imagination; Tweaker is one such tool. The Tweaker features some unusual controls that no other analog hardware compressor has, and stretched the range of the more common controls to new extremes.
The Kush Tweaker features an external sidechain input aswell as a stereo link for connecting two Tweakers together with one unit controlling the other.
The Trio 6 Be is the latest active three-way speaker from Focal, the Trio6 has a 1" tweeter, a 5" woofer, and an 8" subwoofer. Yet, switching to FOCUS mode reconfigures Trio6 Be as two-way monitor. This feature essentially gives you the same kind of perspective as using two pairs of monitors.
The Trio6 Be was designed to meet the standards of the most demanding engineers. This dual monitor is the new reference in its price range owing to its extreme neutrality, its precise stereophonic imaging, and its ability to resolve the most minute sonic details, while its Class G amplifiers deliver SPL levels to suit all musical styles.
When utilised to its full potential, the Beryllium tweeter reaches up to 40kHz and the 8" subwoofer extends low frequencies down to 35Hz. This offers engineers complete control of the audio signal.
The 8" W composite sandwich cone subwoofer is complemented by its large port integrated into the front baffle, making it easy to position the monitor near the front wall without saturating the ports and maintaining excellent low-frequency linearity. Its large front port guaranties consistent performance regardless of SPL levels. It also allows a positioning closed to a wall without wall boost effect, allowing an easy integration even in small rooms.
The 5"W composite sandwich cone woofer is installed in an isolated chamber within the cabinet that prevents the sympathetic activation of its other speakers while optimising its acoustic performance. Two front-facing ports provide bass reflex, enabling the woofer to perform identically in both two-way (90Hz – 2.5kHz) and three-way (250Hz – 2.5kHz) configurations. The 1" pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter provides numerous advantages, including wide dispersion, amazing frequency response linearity, quick dynamics, and unrivaled impulse response.
When used as a two-way speaker, Trio6 Be employs only the 5" woofer and the tweeter, limiting frequencies to between 90Hz and 20kHz. This configuration provides the perfect compromise when checking the quality of the mix for playback systems with limited frequency response, such as TVs, PCs, cars, and portable speaker systems. The frequency response curve of the two-way configuration is identical, though less extended, to its three-way curve, allowing for a perfect comparison that preserves the stereo image. Focusing on this critical middle frequency range facilitates a good mix and enables the engineer to ensure that the levels are just right. A footswitch (not included) activates this configuration remotely from the listening position.

ABSTRACT: The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) was designed and constructed by a collaboration of six U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories. The SNS accelerator system consists of a 1 GeV linear accelerator and an accumulator ring providing 1.4 MW of proton beam power in microsecond-long beam pulses to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. The accelerator complex consists of a front-end negative hydrogen-ion injector system, an 87 MeV drift tube linear accelerator, a 186 MeV side-coupled linear accelerator, a 1 GeV superconducting linear accelerator, a 248-m circumference accumulator ring and associated beam transport lines. The accelerator complex is supported by ~ 100 high-power RF power systems, a 2 K cryogenic plant, ~ 400 DC and pulsed power supply systems, ~ 400 beam diagnostic devices and a distributed control system handling ~ 100,000 I/O signals. The beam dynamics design of the SNS accelerator is presented, as is the engineering design of the major accelerator subsystems.Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment 11/2014; 763:610 - 673.

Article: The electron lens test bench for the relativistic heavy ion collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compensate for the beam–beam effects from the proton–proton interactions at the two interaction points IP6 and IP8 in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), we are constructing two electron lenses (e-lenses) that we plan to install in the interaction region IR10. Before installing them, the electron gun, collector, instrumentation were tested and the electron beam properties were qualified on an electron lens test bench. We will present the test results and discuss our measurement of the electron beam current and of the electron gun perveance. We achieved a maximum current of 1 A with 5 kV energy for both the pulsed- and the DC-beam (which is a long turn-by-turn pulse beam). We measured beam transverse profiles with an yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) screen and pinhole detector, and compared those to simulated beam profiles. Measurements of the pulsed electron beam stability were obtained by measuring the modulator voltage.Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment 04/2014; 743:56–67.

ABSTRACT: In the 2012 RHIC heavy ion run, we collided uraniumuranium (U-U) ions at 96.4 GeV/nucleon and copper-gold (Cu-Au) ions at 100 GeV/nucleon for the first time in RHIC. The new Electron-Beam Ion Source (EBIS) was used for the first time to provide ions for the RHIC physics program. After adding the horizontal cooling, 3-D stochastic cooling became operational in RHIC for the first time, which greatly enhanced the luminosity. With a double bunch merging technique in the Booster and AGS, the bunch intensities of Cu and Au ions in RHIC surpassed their projections. Both PHENIX and STAR detectors reached their integrated luminosity goals for both U-U and Cu-Au collisions. In this article we review the machine improvements and performances in this run.

ABSTRACT: We conduct a proof-of-the-principle experiment of coherent electron cooling (CEC), that potentially wil significantly boost the luminosity of high-energy, high-intensity hadron colliders [1]. Herein, we discuss the current status of the experimental equipment, detailing our first tests of the electron gun and the results of magnetic measurements of the wiggler prototype. We describe the current status of the design, and our near-future plans.
Conference Paper: COMMISSIONING RHIC'S ELECTRON LENS *[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the 2013 RHIC polarized-proton run, it was found that the intensity of the RHIC bunch had reached a limit due to the head-on beam-beam interaction at intensity of 2x10 11 , as we expected from our simulations [1]. To overcome this limitation, we have planned to implement two electron lenses for beam-beam compensation. During and after the 2013 RHIC run, some e-lens systems were commissioned. The effect of the e-lens warm solenoids on the protons orbit was observed and corrected by orbit feedback. The blue electron-lens system was fully tested, except for the superconducting magnet; the electron beam was propagated from the gun to the collector, and most of the instrumentation for the blue e-lens was commissioned. The straightness of the superconducting solenoid #2 field was measured for the first time. The installation of the yellow e-lens system and two superconducting magnets are underway.Particle Accelerator Conference 2013 (PAC2013), Pasadena, CA; 01/2014

Conference Paper: High current and high power fast kicker system conceptual design and technology overview for DeeMe experiment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A US-Japan collaboration for the high energy physics experiment DeeMe requires a multi GVA high deflection strength fast kicker system. A set of high current, high voltage and high power generators are going to drive a series of kicker magnets to deflect passing beam. Brookhaven researchers have been invited to conduct a conceptual design study for this challenging project. The basic option consists of a set of identical modulators, low impedance transmission lines, and large aperture high inductance kicker magnets. Each modulator shall be capable of driving the kicker magnet with an 8kA to 10kA pulsed current. A desired fast pulse fall time of 300 to 400 ns is the most challenging part of the design because of the high inductance magnetic load. The after pulse floor ripple tolerance is 5% or best achievable. Pulse repetition rate is 25Hz continuously. We have evaluated a wide range of pulsed power technology options and concluded that the requirement is beyond the state of the art for fast kicker technology. However, a near perfect solution is possible. We proposed several options in the conceptual design for the best achievable technical solution. In this paper, we present the technology overview, design comparisons, and the areas requiring advanced research and development effort.Pulsed Power Conference (PPC), 2013 19th IEEE; 06/2013
Conference Paper: A fast, high voltage, high frequency modulator at BNL[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A high voltage modulator has been built and tested at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Its function is to drive the gun anode of the RHIC Electron Lens(elens). It is capable of outputting a square wave of 10kV and a continuous rep rate of 80kHz. The pulse width is continuously adjustable from 500ns to DC. The rise time and the fall time (10%-90%) are under 50ns.Pulsed Power Conference (PPC), 2013 19th IEEE; 06/2013
Conference Paper: E-Gun anode modulator R&D prototype for RHIC elens project[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to increase the polarized proton luminosities, a new E-LENS system will be installed in RHIC tunnel. One of the key parts of this project is achieve a fast rise time for elens electron gun. The electron gun is driven by a fast high voltage rise time and high pulse repetition rate anode modulator. This paper will discuss some details of the modulator design concept and its simulation, problems during the test, modulator scheme modification and new modulator scheme prototype test results. Meanwhile, some test diagrams, prototype pictures and measured waveforms will be shown in the paper. The prototype test has reached the specification requirement of the modulator. The output high voltage is 10 kV, HV pulse rise and fall time is about 50nS (10%-90%) and the pulse repetition rate has reached 80 kHz.Pulsed Power Conference (PPC), 2013 19th IEEE; 06/2013
Conference Paper: Accelerator fast kicker R&D with ultra compact 50MVA nano-second FID pulse generator[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present in this paper our research and development of accelerator fast kicker with a solid state FID pulse generator. This is the first attempt to test a high strength fast kicker with a nano-second high pulse power generator for large hadron accelerators and colliders. The FID pulse generator features a 10 ns pulse rise time (2%-98%), 30ns pulse fall time, 50 ns flat top pulse duration, 100 Hz repetition rate, and peak amplitude of 50 kV and 1.0 kA. We have successfully tested the system with long length transmission cable, RHIC injection kicker magnet, matched and mismatched resistive load. The pulse generator is ultra compact and its size is comparable to a digital oscilloscope. The existing RHIC injection kicker system has four oil filled tri-axial Blumlein generators occupying a floor space of about 1000 square feet. A set of four FID pulse generators would fit into a single rack. It has a potential space saving of 50 to 100 times. Another advantage is its ultra fast current slew rate surpassing the thyratron and traditional modulator system. The technology is impressive and results are encouraging.Pulsed Power Conference (PPC), 2013 19th IEEE; 06/2013

ABSTRACT: Through more than a decade of operation, we have noticed the phenomena of beam loss induced kicker instability in the RHIC beam abort systems. In this study, we analyze the short term beam loss before abort kicker pre-fire events and operation conditions before capacitor failures. Beam loss has caused capacitor failures and elevated radiation level concentrated at failed end of capacitor has been observed. We are interested in beam loss induced radiation and heat dissipation in large oil filled capacitors and beam triggered thyratron conduction. We hope the analysis result would lead to better protection of the abort systems and improved stability of the RHIC operation.

ABSTRACT: Over the last few years, physicists have occasionally observed the presence of noise acting on the RHIC beams leading to emittance growth at high beam energies. While the noise was sporadic in the past, it became persistent during the Run-11 setup period. An investigation diagnosed the source as originating from the RHIC dump kicker system. Once identified the issue was quickly resolved. We report in this paper the investigation result, circuit analysis, measured and simulated waveforms, solutions, and future plans.
Article: Research and development of RHIC injection kicker upgrade with nano second FID pulse generator[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our recent effort to test a 50 kV, 1 kA, 50 ns pulse width, 10 ns pulse rise time FID pulse generator with a 250 ft transmission cable, resistive load, and existing RHIC injection kicker magnet has produced unparalleled results. This is the very first attempt to drive a high strength fast kicker magnet with a nano second high pulsed power (50 MVA) generator for large accelerator and colliders. The technology is impressive. We report here the result and future plan of RHIC Injection kicker upgrade.
Conference Paper: RHIC performance for FY2011 Au+Au heavy ion run[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Following the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 (Run-10) Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Au+Au run, RHIC experiment upgrades sought to improve detector capabilities. In turn, accelerator improvements were made to improve the luminosity available to the experiments for this run (Run-11). These improvements included: a redesign of the stochastic cooling systems for improved reliability; a relocation of 'common' RF cavities to alleviate intensity limits due to beam loading; and an improved usage of feedback systems to control orbit, tune and coupling during energy ramps as well as while colliding at top energy. We present an overview of changes to the Collider and review the performance of the collider with respect to instantaneous and integrated luminosity goals. At the conclusion of the FY 2011 polarized proton run, preparations for heavy ion run proceeded on April 18, with Au+Au collisions continuing through June 28. Our standard operations at 100 GeV/nucleon beam energy was bracketed by two shorter periods of collisions at lower energies (9.8 and 13.5 GeV/nucleon), continuing a previously established program of low and medium energy runs. Table 1 summarizes our history of heavy ion operations at RHIC.09/2011

ABSTRACT: A horizontal tune jump system has been installed to overcome the horizontal intrinsic spin resonances, which requires jumping the horizontal tune 0.04 units 82 times, 41 up and 41 down. Two quadruple magnets have been installed in AGS ring to perform this. The pulsed magnet current ranges from about 140A near injection to about 1400A later. The current pulse rise and fall time are around 100uS and flat tops time is around 4mS. These quadruples have separated supplies. This tune jump pulse power supply employees all semiconductor parts as well as the main switches. During dummy load and magnet testing, the test results showed that the power supply could meet the specification. This article will describe some details of power supply simulation, design and testing. Some test waveforms and pictures are presented in this paper.

ABSTRACT: This power supply was designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) as part of a new ion preinjector system called EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source). It consists of a charging power supply, a capacitor bank, a discharge and recovery circuit and control circuits. The output is fed through cables into a solenoid magnet. The magnet's inductance is 1.9mH. The maximum charging voltage is 1000V. The power supply output is a half sine wave of 13ms duration. The repetition rate is 5Hz. The power supply output can be set to any value between 250A and 1900A in one second in order to accommodate the varying species of ions specified by different machine users.

ABSTRACT: In order to cross more rapidly the 82 weak spin resonances caused by the horizontal tune and the partial snakes, we plan to jump the horizontal tune 82 times during the acceleration of polarized protons. The current in the magnets creating this tune jump will rise in 100 s, hold flat for about 4 ms and fan to zero in 100 s. Laminated beam transport quadrupole magnets have been recycled by installing new two turn coils and longitudinal laminated pole tip shims that reduce inductance and power supply current. The power supply uses a high voltage capacitor discharge to raise the magnet current, which is then switched to a low voltage supply, and then the current is switched back to the high voltage capacitor to zero the current. The current in each of the magnet pulses must match the order of magnitude change in proton momentum during the acceleration cycle. The magnet, power supply and operational experience are described.

ABSTRACT: Accelerator main dipole magnet system magnetic field regulation depends on its transmission line characteristic properties and its power supply system regulations. In addition, the main magnet AC power transformer configuration has indirect impact on the field quality of dipole magnet. A large accelerator main magnet system consists of hundreds, even thousands, of dipole magnets. They are linked together under selected configurations to provide uniform dipole fields when powered. When all dipole magnets are linked together in a synchrotron, they become a coupled pair of very high order complex ladder networks due to magnet parasitic capacitance, leakage resistance, and conductor resistance. In this study, we present multiphase transformer effect and harmonic response analysis of AGS main magnet system.IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity 07/2008; DOI:10.1109/TASC.2008.922372 · 1.32 Impact Factor
Article: A Simplified Model for Parameter Estimation and Circuit Analysis of Inductive-Adder Modulator[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we propose a simplified model for easy estimation of design parameters and quick analysis of fast pulsed inductive adder modulators. Analytical method is used to deduct the simplified circuit model. This model offers an easy way to understand the behavior of the inductive-adder modulator circuits and provides designers a helpful tool to estimate critical parameters such as pulse rise time, system impedance, number of adder stages, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate that parameter estimation based on simplified circuit model is fairly accurate as compared to original circuit. Further more, this approach can be used in early stage of system development to assist the feasibility study of the project and to aid geometry selection and parameter selection of critical components.IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation 09/2007; 14(4-14):913 - 920.

Conference Paper: RHIC power supplies-failure statistics for runs 4, 5 and 6[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The two rings in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) require a total of 933 power supplies to supply current to highly inductive superconducting magnets. Failure statistics for the RHIC power supplies will be presented for the last three RHIC runs. The failures of the power supplies will be analyzed. The statistics associated with the power supply failures will be presented. Comparisons of the failure statistics for the last three RHIC runs will be shown. Improvements that have increased power supply availability will be discussed. Further improvements to increase the availability of the power supplies will also be discussed.Particle Accelerator Conference, 2007. PAC. IEEE; 07/2007

It's basketball camp week for our two boys and two of our good friend Jenn's boys at two different locations. The logistics are a bit nuts, but for the most part, Jenn has the luxury of picking up our two respective six year olds.
Tasman and Mason have known each other since they were zero and are pretty great friends, even if they don't see each other all too often. Jenn recorded their conversation on the ride home yesterday and transcribed it for all the parents and I am sharing it with all of you because it is pretty freaking funny.
Tasman (on the right): Mason, do you go to church?
Mason: No, well, at Christmas. Church is boring.
T: I know, too much standing.
M: Too much standing, sitting and singing.
T: I wish it was Christmas everyday.
M: Me too.
T: I wish it was Halloween every 2 days.
M: Me too.
T: I wish it was Hanukkah every 80 days.
M: I don't celebrate Hanukkah
T: I do, Christmas is better. Did you know there are red rhinos?
M: Yeah.
T: They live in Africa.
M: I know.
T: I bet your mom didn't.
T: I wonder if God knows Santa.
M: Of course he does, he made him.
T: Right, I wonder if his reindeer fly.
M: I don't know.
T: I bet when we are asleep they just pull him around in his sled.
M: Yeah.
T: And I bet he needs a ladder to get on our roofs. Oh look, we are here.
And scene…

I did my MSc with Lucien Hardy and then worked on the quantum causal dynamics with Prakash Panangaden. I took Dr. Panangaden's course on the semantics of programing languages and now I spend a lot of time thinking about Scott domains and continuous functors. I also like the works of Bob Coecke, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Jamie Vicary, John Baez, Chris Isham, Colin McLarty, Lawvere, John Bell, Raphael Sorkin, Fotini Markopoulou. I have three main applications that I look at : physics, economic growth and concurrency. In particular, I am trying to use monads and comonads to do basic physics and as such am studying Haskell as a way to refine my thinking.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bank of America Corp., the nation's largest bank, is stopping sales of foreclosed homes in all 50 states as it reviews potential flaws in foreclosure documents.
The company had previously said it would only stop such sales in the 23 states where foreclosures must be approved by a judge.
The move comes amid evidence that mortgage company employees or their lawyers signed documents in foreclosure cases without verifying the information in them.
"We will stop foreclosure sales until our assessment has been satisfactorily completed," company spokesman Dan Frahm said in a statement. "Our ongoing assessment shows the basis for our past foreclosure decisions is accurate."

This entire dish is right out of Rose and Ruthie's River Café playbook, with just a few tweaks of my own. They taught me how to make fonduta, a silky sauce rich with crème fraîche and egg yolks. It takes less time and just a bit more effort than tomato sauce, and turns a plate of pasta into an elegant and impressive meal. Get yourself some asparagus spears that are as thick as your pointer fingernot those thin or sprouty onesand you'll enjoy the juicy slivers in each bite.
Served warm or at room temperature, a frittata makes for an easy yet impressive dinner. If you are following our $68 Dinner Story, buy 1 bunch asparagus and use 3/4 bunch for the Fettuccine with Asparagus, Beet Green Pesto, and Poached Egg and the remaining 1/4 bunch here. This is the perfect opportunity to use up any leftover beet green pesto from the pasta dish as well.
Spinach and lowfat ricotta make it hearty—and good for you.
The classic combination of sausage and greens takes on a pasta companion in this warming dish that peaks with red-pepper flakes and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
These aren't sticky-sweet brown sugar baked beans. Think of them like the top crust of a good cassoulet.
Rich, buttery parmesan and pine nuts balance out the bitter flavor that is characteristic of broccoli rabe. Serve this classic Italian side dish with steak Florentine or porchetta, or try it in a sandwich if you have leftovers.
Lamb's-quarters is a common weed that is being rediscovered as the super-food it was reputed to be centuries ago. It goes by many names, but the most descriptive is wild spinach because that's exactly what it tastes like: Spinach, only way better! If you like creamed spinach, you'll love creamy lamb's-quarters, baked under a cheesy crumb crust.

AJC announces more cuts to jobs and circulation
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Wednesday it will slash 156 jobs and reduce its circulation range to 27 counties around metro Atlanta in the latest round of cuts at the daily newspaper.
The subsidiary of Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises Inc. said it would shed 22 counties from its circulation range and cut the equivalent of 56 full-time positions and 100 part-time jobs as it restructures its circulation department.
"Like many other media companies, the AJC faces unprecedented economic challenges," Robert W. Eickhoff, AJC senior vice president of operations, said in a news release. "We are committed to making our operations as efficient as possible, and these changes support that goal."
Bizspace Spotlight
The AJC is not alone in its struggles. Newspapers nationwide have been seen advertising revenue plunge because of the economic downturn. On Monday, Chicago-based Tribune Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which permits them to stay in business while restructuring billions in debt.
It is the third such cutback at the AJC since early 2007, the paper said on its Web site. Prior to cutbacks in early 2007, the daily delivered to 145 of Georgia's 159 counties and parts of neighboring states.
According to a report on its Web site, starting Jan. 11 the AJC will no longer deliver to the following counties: Banks, Butts, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Greene, Habersham, Haralson, Heard, Jackson, Lumpkin, Morgan, Pickens, Rabun, Spalding, Towns, Troup, Union, and White in Georgia, and Cherokee, Clay and Macon counties in North Carolina.
The changes will result in a loss of 5 percent of its daily and Sunday circulation, but the paper said it "will not significantly impact the AJC's readership statistics, " which are measured by readers rather than distributed copies.
According to the paper, 215 circulation employees were offered involuntary severance packages as part of the cuts, including pay and benefits. The paper said on its Web site that those employees could reapply for 59 new positions created through the restructuring, resulting in the net loss of 156 jobs.
Employees were notified of the moves Wednesday.
During the six-month period ending September, the newspaper's circulation fell to 274,999 -- a 13.6 percent drop from the same period a year ago and the largest drop among major dailies, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation.
The AJC said in October its total print and online audience is up 3.4 percent to 2.22 million compared to one year ago. The AJC claims a weekly reach of about 58 percent of the Atlanta market's adult population in print and online.

Exide / Inva Tubular - It 500 - Battery not giving rated capacity
3 Reviews
On 7th August 2007, I had purchased an Exide tubular battery IT 500 from ROYAL BATTERY HOUSE IRINJALAKUDA, KERALA state for Rs. 10500. The dealer has given 30 months replacement guarantee. About 2 months back I noticed it is not giving the rated capacity of 150 ampere hours. Dealer representative came, examined the battery and said it is not getting fully charged by the invertor to the specified 13.8 volts. Invertor mechanic has now adjusted the cut off voltage to 13.8 volts but still there is no improvement in the battery performance. With a connected load of 120 watts (1 fan & 1 tube light ) the battery gets drained out in one hour. I have connected a + / - ammeter in series with the battery and I am able to monitor the charge / discharge current . Battery capacity appears to have degraded to less than 50 AH even though it has worked for only 17 months. I would be grateful if you look into this problem and do the needful.

Re: maybe

Maybe it's the other way around given the declining visibility of HP storage.
Just waiting for the Russians to blame US radar or anyone other than themselves.
The Hadoop environment just feels so unpolished, even using one of the "supported" (cough) distributions. Getting even simple queries to work right felt like building some kind of Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson machine. No wonder there's a lack of enthusiasm from anyone other than the cool chasers.
I always assumed that Glass was deliberately clownish to distract attention from Google's data mining operation. I suppose the same goes for Eric Schmidt too.
Cisco would do a Flexpod deal with a dog food vendor if they thought they could move another UCS and switches.
Since HP isn't merging with EMC, they're now trying to copy its Federation? Love it! Apparently The Machine which secretly runs HP (and Meg like an audioanimatron) still has a few bugs.
They're _all_ paid for reports. Some are just less obvious than others.
You need to put down the crack pipe. Nimble isn't anything like NetApp internally or otherwise. Nimble is a purely iSCSI product based on a log structured filesystem with a large SSD cache in front of it. You obviously have the same deep knowledge of NetApp that you have of Nimble.
Thanks Larry!
As Hadoop is HPC for morons, and there's lots of morons, there's lots of profit (or that's the story, anyway).
Given how well connected the founders of this one are, they could have announced they were developing chocolate dog food and would have still been bought out for the same premium. Once you've achieved the appropriate level of connectivity, one barely has to go through the motions of innovation any more.
I'm thinking of starting my own storage service involving encoding data steganographically in pictures of Justin Bieber uploaded to Facebook. As crap is unusually persistent, the required level of redundancy is low, plus FB will be picking up the tab. Voila, efficient cloud storage! Anyone in Cisco or EMC bizdev interested?
My take is that there's a pantheon of evil.
Apple just wants your money and at their margins doesn't have to plot that hard for it.
Microsoft wants your money too, but at commodity margins they have to be everywhere hence their deeds.
Google doesn't care about your money, only about selling you as the commodity. The more they get on you, the more money you're worth to them. It's that objectification/dehumanization that makes them extra special evil. With bonus points for extreme hypocrisy along the way.
Oracle are Butlin's Redcoats by comparison.
Seeing the luckiest man in the world try to bask in Assange's glow is grotesque. Schmidt should be hanging out with Wozniak sharing tips on seeming relevant.
I hope they get a vote at the papal conclave out of this.
If they're Software-Defined Storage, then so is every Linux ISO image out there. Heck, what's Windows Storage Server 2012 if not this?
The memristor will reduce them to rubble! Jeez, can't you find something more plausible, like Woz inventing anti-gravity at Fusion-io?
Maybe Cisco should buy or merge with EMC instead?
Minor nit re HP "one with a paralysed mid-range due to perceived EVA end-of-life and no 3PAR replacement products". The recent StoreServ (awful name) announcements have remedied this well, even if they'll probably "rightsource" development and support to Kreplachistan to save a few bucks.
Is File Services integral to the 7000 series or is it just a separate Windows Storage Server server?
Exsqueeze me, Meg Mountain: 3PAR thin provisioning definitely introduces performance variability*. Effectively you're converting sequential I/O into random I/O as you hunt around the disks for wherever your many 16KB blocks actually reside. It's a significant performance hit in real life.
3PAR thin provisioning _hype_ may be light years ahead of everyone else's but they're all serving the same lumpy porridge.
*Don't even get me started on 3PAR non-deterministic latency issues that I've experienced.
Stable revenue is hardly "flat-lining"; that would be HP. Were you out of cheesy sex metaphors and had to settle for death instead?
Aren't CTOs at NetApp like VPs at banks?
Jeez, another mention of "memristors". This should be part of the Reg drinking game along with penile metaphors.
Your choice with Gluster is either to use a server node with an NFS client or via the FUSE client. NFS is more efficient in the sense that the client is better plumbed in to the system, yet even with FUSE overhead, the other is a cleaner mapping from Gluster to local filesystem. As the article itself states, the FUSE client has "some performance benefits". I used it mostly because it was less of a pain than the NFS functionality.
FYI, the "Fuse" client isn't a native client per se. Fuse is mechanism for letting a user-space (e.g. non-kernel) program appear to be a filesystem and as such, incurs more overhead than something like NFS which is a kernel module.
Gluster's weak point, which is not mentioned, is that a file cannot span server nodes. If you have 50G left on one and 50G left on another and need to write/copy/save 51G of data, you're SOL.
Last but not least, "Shadowman"? What dark and odorous orifice did you pull that one from?

One killed, 4 injured in city crashBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | September 27,2012Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rutland police and fire personnel work to free injured people from vehicles involved in a crash Wednesday evening on Cleveland Avenue in Rutland.A young woman struck by a vehicle as she stepped out of a store was killed, and four other people were seriously injured, after a four-car crash in a parking area Wednesday night in Rutland.
Police said the crash may have involved an impaired driver.
The identities of those killed or injured in the crash werent available Wednesday night as Rutland City Police and firefighters, assisted by Vermont State Police and Regional Ambulance Service, worked to save lives amid the wreckage of the pile-up outside Rutland Discount Food and Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue.
A large crowd of onlookers gathered at the scene and were repeatedly forced back by police who cordoned off a wide section of the residential street.
While multiple vehicles were involved, only one was in motion a white Toyota Camry that police and witnesses said drove into a row of parked vehicles outside the store.
How fast the Camry was going was unclear but it was travelling fast enough to push the three other vehicles more than 50 feet as evidenced by skid marks dug into the pavement by the tires of the parked cars.
At least some of the injured were inside their vehicles when the collision took place including a man who was trapped in his crushed car for some time before police and firefighters could pry the door open.
A young woman, struck as she walked out of the store, died Wednesday night, according to police.
Kylee Hall, a witness to the crash, tried to help the injured woman.
Hall said she raced to the woman after she was struck by one of the vehicles and held her head in her lap until paramedics arrived.
I held her head and tried to keep her from aspirating, she said, adding that she recognized the woman from seeing her at the discount store regularly. I dont think shes going to make it.
The identity of the driver remains unknown and Prouty said no arrests had been made yet. However, he said police were conducting a criminal investigation into the accident and police officers were posted at Rutland Regional Medical Center where the driver and at least one passenger were being treated for their wounds. All three occupants of the Camry were reportedly injured.
Rutland County States Attorney Marc Brierre also visited the scene.
The sergeant also said police were looking at drug or alcohol abuse as a factor in the crash.
Well certainly follow that lead, he said.
Hall said she had little doubt that drugs were involved.
Immediately after the crash, she said she saw the occupants of the Camry get out and throw several aerosol cans into the bushes.
Brian Carroccia said he was at the north end of the street when the Camry went by him traveling south. He said he watched the vehicle swerve to the right and left several times before colliding with the parked cars.
He must have passed out or something cause he just cut right to the left and had the throttle open when he crashed, he said.

VN lose to Pakistan in Davis Cup qualifier
DA LAT (VNS)— Viet Nam will face Sri Lanka in the relegation battle to the next-lower group after losing 2-3 to Pakistan in the Davis Cup's qualifier in Group II Asia/Oceania zone.
Nguyen Hoang Thien, who trounced Mohammad Abid 3-0 on the first day, could not repeat his dazzling performance against Pakistan's most experienced Davis Cup player, Aqeel Khan, yesterday.
The first set went on with serves lasting until the sixth game before Khan won two breaks to win 6-2.
The second set saw Thien playing better and got his first break point in the second game to lead 4-2 but Khan broke Thien in the seventh and took his service game to level 4-4.
Thien, 19, became frustrated after losing the break point and the game turned into Khan's favour with the 34-year-old player took the second set at 6-4.
Trailing 2-0, Thien seemed to lose the will to try a comeback and allowed Khan to quickly finish the set at 6-2.
In the last singles match, host player Trinh Linh Giang defeated Yasir Khan 7-6, 6-2.
"I did not play as well as I did in the first match on Friday. Besides, Khan is also a better and more experienced player," Thien conceded.
"I tried to come back at certain points during the match but I could not and instead just played a defensive game."
"Our athletes played well in David Cup in front of their home crowd for the first time," Viet Nam's head coach Michael Baroch said.
"However, they showed a lot of weaknesses and it took time to overcome those shortcomings," the Australian added.
Pakistan beat Viet Nam 3-1 in aggregate and sealed the ticket to the next round, where they face the Filipinos. — VNS

The Pirates are coming off back-to-back "almost" seasons. In 2011, they set the baseball world on fire in the first half before fading and winding up with another 90-loss season. Last year produced a slightly better record, but the end result was the same -- no postseason.
2012 retrospective
The Pirates finished with their best record since 1997 at 79-83, but still finished 18 games behind the Reds in the NL Central race. They were just two wins away from their first non-losing season in two decades, so at least there's improvement.
Andrew McCutchen finally took the major step in his development and became the elite player everybody has been projecting for years, finishing third in NL MVP voting while winning Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards. He hit .327/.400/.553 with 31 homers, 96 RBI, 107 runs and 20 steals. At just 26 years old, he's still in the prime of his career and has become entrenched as a franchise cornerstone.
A.J. Burnett was almost as pleasant a surprise for Pittsburgh last year, producing a 16-10 record with a 3.51 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 202.1 innings. The Yankees ate most of the remaining money on his deal just to get rid of him and he emerged as the Pirates' top starter.
McCutchen provided most of the offense, but Pedro Alvarez finally won the third base job and showed some pop with 30 homers and 85 RBI. He only hit .244 and struck out 180 times, but after a miserable MLB career prior to 2012, the fact he has become a building block is nothing short of encouraging for the Pirates.
Who's leaving
C Rod Barajas, 1B/3B Casey McGehee, CL Joel Hanrahan, RHP Juan Cruz, RHP Chris Resop, RHP Kevin Correia
Hanrahan is the big loss here, as he took his talents to New England to test his hand with the Red Sox. He was one of the top closers in the game last season, with 36 saves, a 2.72 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.1 K/9.
The other guys played minor roles for the Pirates in 2012 and while they will be missed, their losses won't sink the Bucs. Resop proved to be a capable option out of the bullpen, making 61 appearances with a 3.91 ERA. Correia ate up 171 innings with a solid 4.21 ERA, but faded down the stretch and is replaceable.
Who's arriving
C Russell Martin, LHP Jonathan Sanchez, LHP Francisco Liriano, 3B/UTIL Brandon Inge, RHP Mark Melancon
They also brought back Jason Grilli, who will take over as closer for Joel Hanrahan. Sanchez and Liriano are decent buy-low signings, as both have shown their supreme talent -- each guy has a no-hitter to his name -- but are coming off poor seasons. Liriano won't be ready for the start of the season as he broke his non-throwing arm while slamming himself in a door just days after signing a deal with Pittsburgh.
Sanchez was fantastic in 2010, sporting a 3.07 ERA and 1.23 WHIP to go along with 205 strikeouts in 193.1 innings. But he also led the NL in walks, and his control issues only worsened from there. He handed out 5.9 free passes per nine innings in 2011 with the Giants and had a whopping 7.4 BB/9 last year while pitching for the Royals and Rockies.
Martin enjoyed a career resurgence with the Yankees the last two seasons and is a two-way catcher, showing power and patience at the plate (and even some speed on the basepaths) while proving reliable calling a game behind the plate.
Melancon provides a veteran arm in a setup role and has closer experience should Grilli struggle. Inge is also banged up to start the year, but he turned his career around with the A's last year and his ability to play multiple positions with some pop could make him a valuable commodity for this year's team.
Season outlook
Like just about every team in Major League Baseball, the Pirates' season will hinge on their pitching staff. If Liriano and Sanchez have bounce-back years, Burnett builds off his shocking 2012 and James McDonald takes another step forward, the starting staff could surprise. But that's a lot of "ifs" behind the always-reliable Wandy Rodriguez, whom the Bucs picked up at the trade deadline last year. The bullpen should shape up to be pretty decent, but leaves a little to be desired at the back end.
The lineup as constructed will simply struggle to score runs and the team defense is middle-of-the-road at best. McCutchen can't do it all himself and every other player has at least one glaring weakness. That being said, 2B Neil Walker and 1Bs Garrett Jones/Gaby Sanchez have had their moments and the team is banking on Alvarez to take another step forward. The development of young guns like Starling Marte could be a huge boost as well.
Right fielder Travis Snider, acquired late in the season last year, is the X-factor for the season. He just turned 25 last month and has been rated as high as the No. 6 prospect in the game (by Baseball America) prior to the 2009 season. But his career .910 minor-league OPS has yet to translate to the major-league level and he collected just seven extra-base hits in 128 at-bats with the Pirates last season. If he can harness his potential, the Pirates may finally have the threat they desire hitting behind McCutchen.

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines videogame storyline weaves in and out of the movie script as players face enemies from the present in which the War of the Machines looms on the horizon, to the apocalyptic future where the War itself is waged on all fronts. While following the feature film's plot closely, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines will go one step further by providing fans of the Terminator series with a deeper look into the movie's universe and the role of the Terminator, a futuristic fighting machine reprogrammed to save humanity from the SkyNet holocaust.
As the Terminator, players face all comers in first-person action from the wastelands of the future to present-day Los Angeles. Military bases, laboratories and downtown Los Angeles are just a few of the more than 20 unique locations found in the game, which have been taken straight from the current Terminator timeline of events. In addition, more than 20 futuristic and modern-day weapons are at the player's disposal for use in terminating any enemy in the most efficient manner possible, including the SkyNet Arc-Laser, Tech-Com Micro Rocket Launcher and the AR-15 Assault Rifle with M202 Grenade Launcher.
Terminators are designed to utilize the most readily and efficient means available to eliminate any particular foe--when that enemy is a Terminator this leads to absolutely brutal hand-to-hand combat. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines will allow player's to engage in true movie-like Terminator combat as they repeatedly face the ultimate killing machine, the T-X, throughout the single-player game. Smashing opponents into walls, massive two-handed chops and crushing kicks are just a few of the dozens of moves in the Terminator's arsenal.
A unique twist in the Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines story will also allow players to operate the Terminator before it was reprogrammed in the future to save John Connor. As a result, players will be able to test their terminating skills against battle-hardened Tech Com special forces from the future as they fight alongside and utilize SkyNet's advanced weaponry, including Future Killer tanks and flyers, fixed gun emplacements as well as other Terminators in an effort to crush the last remnants of humankind.
