BOSTON (AP) -- Liam O'Hagan threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for a third Saturday to help Harvard defeat Brown 24-17 in the first night game ever played in the 104-year history of Harvard Stadium.
O'Hagan gave the Crimson (1-1, 1-0 Ivy League) a 21-17 lead at halftime when he scored on a one yard dive off tackle with 58 seconds left in the second quarter. The touchdown was set up when Andrew Berry returned a Brown kickoff 40 yards.
The Crimson starting quarterback completed 19 of his 29 passes for 200 yards and ran for an additional 58 yards. Chris Pizzotti was 10 of 16 for 101 yards.
Michael Daugherty completed 18 of his 44 passes for Brown (1-1, 0-1), but he threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter and the Bears missed a field goal in the final quarter.
Patrick Long's 23-yard field goal with 3:07 left in the game was the only scoring in the second half and gave the Crimson a 24-17 lead. The scoring drive of 70 yards was directed by Pizzotti, who replaced O'Hagan midway through the third quarter after suffering a suspected concussion.
Steve Morgan kicked a 23-yard field goal for Brown, his 40th field goals of his career that placed him second all-time in the Ivy League.
He also kicked two extra points giving him a total of 221 career kicking points which also puts him in second place in the Ivy League record books.
Brown's Buddy Farnham caught eight passes for 102 yards.
The historic night game at the nation's oldest college football stadium marks the 107th Harvard-Brown meeting in a rivalry that dates to 1893. The reinforced concrete horseshoe has seen leather helmets come and go, inspired the forward pass and witnessed countless M.I.T. pranks.
In 1906, when reformists led by President Theodore Roosevelt went looking for ways to soften what had become a brutal game, they considered widening the field by 40 yards to open up the game. But they couldn't, because the Harvard stands were set in place.
So they approved the forward pass instead.
The lights are part of a stadium renovation that started when FieldTurf replaced the grass before last season; an inflatable bubble goes up in the winter, allowing teams to practice during the offseason.

Artist's Statement
Here is a personnal matte-painting that I did during Christmas holiday. I took some photos with my digital camera on top of the empire state building in New York City last summer while I was at SIGGRAPH 2006 Boston, there is only 4-5 hours of driving between.
The concept of this artwork was inspired by the famous movie Bladerunner in which, you can see amazing futuristic cityscapes. I always was fascinated by huge cities with thousand of buildings everywhere.
The modeling of the ships was done by a friend of mine: www.kamy.ca

A pyrometer for measuring the temperature of an object with high accuracy and fast response time that uses both multi-wavelength pyrometry techniques and nanotechnology. Radiance from an object is transmitted through a fiber optic cable, is received by a thin-film multi-wavelength modulator, and is detected by an optical detector array. More specifically, the pyrometer includes means for conveying light; an optical lens; an optical fiber; means for optically modulating the wavelength of light; means for optically detecting the modulated light; means for transforming the optically detected wavelengths into electrical signals; and means for processing and recording the electrical signals. The means for optically modulating the wavelength includes at least one piezoelectric film deposited by an electrostatic self-assembly method. The pyrometer can be fabricated as either a contact-mode or non-contact mode device, both of which are suitable for use in hostile environments such as a boiler, gasifier, kiln and furnace.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an apparatus for the measurement of the temperature of an object. The apparatus is particularly well suited to the measurement of the temperatures of objects in hostile environments, such as those in a gasifier, burner, boiler, kiln, furnace, or the like.
2. Description of the Related Art
Temperature measurement in a hostile environment are often difficult, and may even be impossible. In general, temperatures inside of furnaces, reactors, boilers, gasifiers, burners, kilns, incinerators, and the like are measured by thermocouples, infrared pyrometers or optical pyrometers. Unfortunately, thermocouples are very fragile in a hostile environment and thus coated with a thin layer of refractory material, consequently, the thermocouples do not sense the combustion temperature directly, but the heat transmitted from the burner chamber through the thin refractory material layer. As a result, there is an inherently large lag-time (a few minutes) for thermocouple temperature measurements to be obtained. Such delays can cause un predictable operating problems or even disasters. For example, during hasifier startup, reaction initiation must be detected immediately in order to confirm that the reaction has begun and that unreacted materials are not accumulating within the gasifier and other downstream equipment. Timed delays are clearly not acceptable in this application. In addition, slow response time (>1 minute) makes thermocouples impractical for use in the gasification monotoring systems controlled in real-time by computers. Thermocouples have proven unreliable. Moreover, the refractory layer coatings on thermocouples are often broken due to corrosion and excessive slag build-up that occurs under harsh environmental conditions.
As an alternative to thermocouples, infrared or optical pyrometers are sometimes used to monitor temperature in harsh environments. The infrared and optical pyrometer techniques involve measuring the thermal radiation emitted by the target and inferring the temperature from knowledge of the radiation law and the emitting characteristics of the surfaces being measured. Their measurement accuracy critically depends on the distance between the target and the pyrometer. However, the detector and the electronic parts of infrared (or optical) pyrometers cannot withstand high temperature (>150� F.), so the pyrometers have to be mounted external to the reactor, gasifier, burner, furnace, incinerators and the like, and aimed at the point of interest through a sight hole, inspection door or transparent window typically made of quartz. A major weakness of the infrared (or optical) pyrometer temperature monitor approach arises from the difficulty encountered when the pyrometers have to be placed a few meters away from the target, because this results in temperature measurements with very low accuracy and a high rate of errors. Moreover, since the infrared (or optical) pyrometers can only detect the average temperature over a relatively large region, it is not practical for such a pyrometer to be used in a combustion monitoring system where good spatial resolution is important.
The present invention provides a series of fiber optic sensor (FOS) based thermometers. Several distinguishing features include 1) High accuracy (<0.5� F.) and reliability, 2) fast response time (<1 ms), 3) measurement accuracy independent of the distance between the target and the detector, 4) measurement accuracy independent of the thermal radiation characteristics (emissivity) of the target materials, 5) detector heads incorporated into the temperature measuring devices, thus able to withstand high temperature and pressure, and possessing excellent corrosion-resistant properties, 6) devices that can be easily installed and operated, 7) pre-calibrated, maintenance-free devices (after which no further calibration is required), 8) devices that can determine the temperature of objects having physically small cross sections, without interference among system nozzles and among the temperature measuring devices, and 9) lifetimes estimated to be much longer than those of thermocouples.
It is an object of this invention to provide a pyrometer for measuring the temperatures of an object in a harsh environment with more accuracy and better resolution, It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved pyrometer for use in measuring the temperature of an object.
FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a temperature-measuring device according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a graphical representation of the thin-film modulators used in the temperature measuring devices.
FIG. 3 shows the diagrammatic views of the temperature measuring devices.
In the drawings, the elements are identified as follows: 1 Optical lens; 2 Optical fiber cable; 3 Thin-film modulator; 4 AC/DC vibrator; 5 Filter; 6 Photoelectric detector; 7 Amplification circuit; 8 Microprocessor; 9 Master controller; 10 On-line controller; 11 light convey pipe; and 12 Printer.
The present invention provides a pyrometer for the measurement of temperatures in various applications, especially in hostile environments such as a gasifier, boiler, kiln, and the like. The pyrometer can be modified to include certain features, depending on the characteristics of the fuel combustion, can be economical to operate, and can have an accuracy sufficient to meet existing and changing requirements in applications such as online fuel combustion monitoring.
The pyrometers are based on fiber optic sensors. Said fiber optic sensor (FOS) pyrometers can be divided into two types: contact mode and non-contact mode. Contact mode FOS pyrometers are directly inserted into the sensing region to measure temperature, while non-contact mode FOS pyrometers determine temperature at a standoff distance from the measurement targets. Since the measurement accuracy of the series of the fiber optic sensor-based pyrometers that are the subject of the present invention is independent of the distance between the target and the detector as well as the thermal radiation of the target materials, both contact mode and non-contact mode FOS pyrometers function on the same principles and have similar structures, thus producing the same performance. The contact mode FOS pyrometers are in general used to measure temperatures of less than 2200� F. and limited by the high temperature degradation of the housing materials, while non-contact mode FOS pyrometers can work at higher temperatures and in corrosive regions. The primary difference between contact mode and non-contact mode FOS pyrometers is that the latter is more costly to produce.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a FOS pyrometer. Numeral 1 represents an optical lens. Said optical lens can be made with sapphire, quartz, polymer or optical glass depending upon the distance between the target and the lens, and the target temperature. Optical fiber cable 2 may have a single core, a double core or multiple cores, each core having a diameter of about 100-300 μm. Several layers, i.e., a metal layer, a heat insulating layer, an oil layer, a heat dispassion layer, and a reinforcement layer are coated on the single core, double core, or multiple cores of said optical fiber 2. The output end of the optical fiber cable 2 is coated with a layer of thin film that functions as a sharp cut-off attenuator for light transmission. The cut-off wavelength depends on the temperature measurement range of the sensor. The length of the optical fiber cable can be as short as a few millimeters or as long as several thousand meters. In the case of a long optical fiber cable 2, said optical fiber cable 2 also functions as a stationary mode fiber that will pass the signals and block the noise. A piezoelectric thin-film wavelength modulator 3 is monitored by an AC/DC inverse vibrator 4, the thickness of the piezoelectric film on said piezoelectric thin-film modulator 3 is more than 40 nm. An optical filter 5 is installed in front of detector 6. The filter 5 passes only such radiation as falls within the selected spectral band. After the O/E transformation, the electrical signals are input into an amplification circuit 7 and the output from said circuit 7 is input to a microprocessor 8. The signals from said microprocessor 8 enter an on-line monitor for the on-line control and/or are further transmitted into a terminal master controller for feed-back monitoring of the entire process. The detector is mounted on the end of a light convey pipe 11. Said light convey pipe 11 may be made from high temperature stainless steel or ceramic. The detector head may be either directly inserted into the target (contact mode) or placed at a distance from the target and aimed at the target area (non-contact mode). The radiation energy from the target is received by the optical lens 1 and optical fiber cable 2, and then separated into individual wavelengths λ1,λ2,λ3, . . . by said piezoelectric thin-film modulator 3.
If the energy w1 refers to a wavelength λ1, and the energy w2 corresponds to a wavelength λ2, the total radiation R received by the FOS pyrometer will be based on the Plank's Law:
C1=a constant,
ε(λT)=radiation rate,
λ=wavelength, and
For a gray body,
The output energies wi and their ratios Ri can be detected by the FOS pyrometer, and its microprocessor will display the series of R1, R2, R3, . . . The average R can be obtained by
Thus the temperature T corresponds to the average R. In general, the accuracy of the temperature measurement can be as small as �0.1� C., and the response time can be as fast as 1 μs when two wavelengths are compared. The accuracy of the temperature measurement can be as small as �0.1� C. when the multiple wavelengths are separated and compared as in our present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the principles and the structure of the piezoelectric thin-film modulator 3. The deposition of the piezoelectric thin-film can be carried out using the electrostatic self-assembly monolayer (ESA or ESAM) method (sometimes called ionic self assembly monolayer, i.e., ISAM). The piezoelectric thin-film comprises a series of layers of films formed with a gradual increase in the index of refraction as a function of the number of the layers. The materials used for ESA films can be polymer, inorganic and organic molecules, cage-structured materials, semiconductor clusters, and noble metal or metal oxides clusters. Several distinguishing features of said ESAM piezoelectric thin-film are, 1) it is flexible and can be bent, 2) the transmission of infrared light may be more than 90%, 3) the transmission wavelengths can be continuously changed with the change of the curvature radius of the said ESAM piezoelectric thin-film, and 4) the thickness of each layer can be controlled at the Angstrom-level. FIG. 2a shows a double-wavelength splitter. The first layer on the substrate is a layer of ESA metal (for example, Au) film with the number of bilayers ranging from one-to several hundred. When the double-wavelength splitter is placed at an angle of 45� with respect to the orientation of the input light, the reflected wave has a longer wavelength than the transmitted wave. A reflection-made piezoelectric thin-film modulator is shown in FIG. 2b. Two layers of ESA metal (for example, Au) film with the number of bilayers ranging from one to several hundred are coated on both sides of the substrate, as the first layer, respectively. Then multilayer piezoelectric thin-films with a gradual increase in the index of refraction with increasing layer number are coated on the top of the metal layer that directly faces the input light. The piezoelectric thin-film is bent when the AC/DC inverse vibrator is activated, which causes the reflective wavelengths of the light to change. When detector number 1 receives infrared light wavelengths reflected by the piezoelectric thin-film with a wavelength λ1, the other infrared light such as λ2, λ3, λ4, . . . are not reflected but transmitted by the piezoelectric thin-film. In succession, progressive wavelengths may be detected so a continuous infrared spectrum can be obtained by a series of detectors. In order to reduce the width of the half-band of the spectrum, optical filter films can be coated on the surfaces of the detectors. Similarly, a transmission-mode piezoelectric thin-film modulator is illustrated in FIG. 2c based on the same principle but with only one metal layer coated on one side of the light splitter plate. FIG. 2d demonstrates a dispersion-mode piezoelectric thin-film modulator. The piezoelectric film arrangement is the same as that in FIG. 2b. When the substrate is bent, it functions to spatially disperse wavelengths of light similar to the dispersion effect in a prism. When the angle between the input light and the plane of the light splitter is continuously changed, the output light can be spatially separated into different wavelengths λ1,λ2, λ3, λ4, . . . and received individually by the series of photoelectric detectors. The piezoelectric thin-film modulator fabricated by the ESA method as discussed above can be used not only for the temperature measurement instrumentation, but also for other applications including the implementation of precise optical instruments and spectrometers.
FIG. 3 shows diagrammatic views of pyrometers with different modifications. The optical convey pipe 11 can be made of either high temperature stainless steel or ceramic. The specific shapes of the optical convey pipe 11 can be fabricated based on the requirements of practical applications. The fundamental requirements for said optical convey pipes 11 are as follows. 1) long-life, 2) easily sealed, and 3) high temperature-resistance. A quartz protection window may be installed in front of the optical lens. The pyrometers shown on the left and in the middle in FIG. 3 are used as non-contact mode pyrometers, while the pyrometer shown on the right side in FIG. 3 is employed as a contact mode pyrometer where the light convey pipe can be directly inserted into the target.
The principle of the present invention can be used to measure not only high temperature, but also low temperature in either a hostile or benign environment.
While the present invention has been described with particular reference to preferred embodiments, the protection sought is to be limited only by the terms of the claims that follow.

Ummm....pretty sure he was referring to body checks to the head....not standing still in a scrum and getting your forearm up in someone's face. There's an absolutely huge difference there.
As professionals, the odd time maybe theres accidental contact, but for the most part you can control whats going on out there. If a guys gotta be responsible with his stick, you have to be responsible with the rest of your body. Whether its accidental or not accidental, you have to be responsible out there. - Sidney Crosby
By your logic, if Crosby gets into a scrum and guys are punching him in the face, he can't punch them back because that would make him hypocritical since that would be considered a head shot. I know what he did wasn't a punch, but it wasn't really an elbow to the head either.
Edit: that said, there are a lot of people out there that think the league is contradicting themselves by taking a hard stance on headshots (i.e. bodychecks to the head) while still allowing fighting (guys punching each other in the head).

Can be toxic to dogs
Often, dogs are the first alert. Their willingness to swim in and drink slimy water makes them sentinels for some of the most powerful natural poisons on earth. A Labrador Retriever enjoying a family outing in June collapsed after swimming in a Minnesota lake. He died that day at the vet's office. Tests are pending but the vet suspects the dog was poisoned by cyanobacteria, also known as blue-...

Simple preventive steps can go a long way toward offsetting their threats
A few months ago, the icy breath of the north that normally tucks itself over the Arctic during the winter blasted into the Northeast, prime tick country.

In January, Thomas Mather, PhD, an entomologist known to...

The danger of foxtails grows
The season of ripgut and painful vet bills is here. Foxtails, a longtime scourge in the West, can now be a problem in every state. And climate change may add a twist.

A botanist who researched their effects on dogs also warns about a deadly disease. Sporting...

A vet speaks out on genetically modified pet food.
Most dogs now dine on some type of genetically modified (GM) food, often in the form of corn and soy in their kibble. As these ingredients increasingly enter the food supply, we have one more reason to wonder if our shopping choices might be harming our pets. More animal feeding studies are needed, experts say, and a recent long-term, peer-reviewed report points out why. It found that a diet of...

Should food that has been genetically modified be labeled?
Last November, California became the first state to put the issue on the ballot. Proposition 37, the "Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," called for such disclosure on the labels of some raw and processed foods sold in stores. It also prohibited them from being advertised as "natural." And it didn't give dog chow a free pass. Although the measure targeted human consumers, the...

Um...he used the same voice to Miri, IIRC, when he told her she was pretty. I know he wasn't trying to actually seduce her, but he was really playing her emotions. Kinda sucks when you think about it.
He's a consummate professional at seducing people into his influence to get what he wants, he just applies it almost exclusively to women. Janeway turns it on for everybody
And that's just one reason why I think Janeway is most similar to Kirk.

1997 Chrysler Town & Country Q&A
1997 Chrysler Town & Country Question: TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE
97 chrysler T&C van 6cyl auto w/ 124 K miles began slipping trans engagement in 1st gear & reverse when cold weather arrived. Trans fluid flushed &screen changed.Trans works ok when driven a few miles no hesitation in drive gear normal upand down shift) but occasionally hesitates and jerks at traffic lite stop ( first gear). No leak of fluid under car. Obviously a trans shop wants $1200 to replace entire trans. any less costly fixes? - shopper1178
3 Answers
Answer 1
Unfortunately, transmission problems are really common these cars. On RepairPal's common problems page, it says "A delay in the transaxle engagement (greater than three seconds) may have multiple causes, including a defective pump, defective internal lip seals, valve body components, the Park Reverse Neutral Drive lever switch, and the output speed sensor." Having a shop check for these problems may save you from having to replace the entire transmission, but it's not a sure bet. Sorry! - matte
Answer 2
Matt is correct, this will probably need more diagnosis. There is a tech service bulletin from Chrysler (TSB 21-07-98) that has decision tree for use in diagnosis. The shop should be able to scan for any trouble codes as well. Unfortunately, reverse is typically the first gear to show signs of transmission problems. Your local dealer would be able to verify that your transmission module has the latest software and diagnose the issue for you, but you'll most likely need to pay for diagnosis - Andy Y

If the transmission is slipping in first gear or Reverse—or if you experience delayed or loss of gear engagement after initial startup—the transmission may require removal and disassembly.
