The New Yorker Launches The Business Pages
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
The New Yorker launched a new online hub for business coverage and commentary, The Business Pages, today. It features business content from the magazine, as well as original Web content written by Malcolm Gladwell, James Surowiecki, John Cassidy, Amy Davidson, Ken Auletta, Tim Wu, among others. Xerox is the exclusive launch sponsor of The Business Pages.
Weekly features on the site include "The Idea of the Week," an infographic visualization of a significant business or financial issue; "The Number," a deep dive into an economic indicator, data point, or other figure that best captures what's happening that week; a video series hosted by James Surowiecki, tied to his column in the magazine, The Financial Page; and "How Do They Make Money?," a series that asks how different people make their livings—from street musicians to shoeshine men to fishermen.
The hub will also provide links to classic New Yorker stories about business. Among the classic The New Yorker stories retrievable is Connie Bruck's A Mogul's Farewell (October 18, 1993) on how Steve Ross' death changed the future of Time Warner.

Exxon Mobil Corp is considering a multi-billion-dollar plan to expand its Beaumont, Texas, refinery into the country's largest, the first major refining investment of the U.S. shale oil boom, people with knowledge of the deliberations said.
The expansion of the 344,600 barrel-per-day (bpd) Beaumont refinery, if carried out, would be completed by 2020 and potentially double its size with the addition of a third crude distillation unit (CDU), the sources said. More modest near-term projects to renew and expand so-called coking units to help refine more heavy crude already are under way, they said.
If Exxon presses ahead, the investment would be a further indication that the American oil giant is breaking ranks with many of its big global rivals, who have been looking to sell off refining assets across the world. Just weeks ago Exxon unveiled a $1 billion investment in its Antwerp plant.
An Exxon spokesman, while declining to discuss possible plans for the Beaumont refinery, said the company was always evaluating growth options.
"We regularly evaluate our global portfolio of businesses and opportunities for growth, depending upon the fit with its strategic business objectives," Exxon spokesmanTodd Spitler said. "We take a disciplined long-term approach to investing, regardless of the economic cycle."
A bigger Beaumont would bolster the U. S. Gulf Coast's position as a top global supplier of gasoline and diesel at a time when domestic demand is falling. Profits for Gulf Coast refiners have swollen as cheaper North American crude allows them to capture big margins when exporting refined products.
U.S. oil production has embarked on an unprecedented 50 percent rise over the past four years as new drilling techniques allowed oil to flow from vast shale reserves in North Dakota and Texas - this after two decades of seemingly irreversible decline.
The sources said Exxon already was moving forward on plans to replace four coking unit drums in 2015 and add two new coker drums in 2017 at the Beaumont refinery. The drums turn residual crude oil into petroleum coke, a coal substitute.
Exxon announced plans on July 2 to invest $1 billion to build a delayed coking unit at its 320,000 bpd Antwerp, Belgium, refinery so the plant could refine cheaper high-density, high-sulfur crude oils. That was on top of a previous $1 billion in upgrades to the Antwerp refinery.
Exxon's Antwerp investments in some ways bucked a trend in recent years that has seen major integrated oil companies cut refining capacity with BP selling plants in Texas and California and
Royal Dutch Shell shutting a refinery in Australia.
The Beaumont refinery has two CDUs that do the initial refining of crude oil coming into the refinery and provide feedstock for all other units.
Exxon officials are considering boosting the Beaumont refinery's size to at least 500,000 bpd, which is close to the capacity of the company's Baton Rouge, Louisiana, refinery.
The country's biggest refinery is Motiva Enterprises LLC's 600,250 bpd Port Arthur, Texas, plant. Exxon is considering making the Beaumont plant bigger than Motiva's Port Arthur refinery.
"They've talked between 700,000 and 800,000 bpd in total refinery capacity," one of the sources said.
Andy Liplow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC,a Houston consultancy, said an Exxon expansion could boost profits.
"Given the increase in North American oil production and in conjunction with the low operating cost due to the price of natural gas, it seems increasing the capacity of oil refining facilities makes a lot of sense," Lipow said.
Beaumont Mayor Becky Ames said she had not been informed of any plans by Exxon to expand the Beaumont refinery.
But she said the expansion would lead to more direct and indirect jobs for the area, which she said benefits from regional oil refining and petrochemical plants.
"When they do an expansion anywhere in the area it not only means more jobs from the work itself, but it creates spin-off businesses in the community," Ames said.
The two other most recent major expansions of Gulf Coast refining capacity - at Motiva's Port Arthur refinery and Marathon Petroleum Corp's Garyville, Louisiana, plant -were planned before the sudden rise in shale output started about seven years ago.
Motiva, a joint venture between Shell and Saudi Aramco, invested $10 billion to expand its Port Arthur refinery from 285,000 bpd. In addition to a 325,000 bpd CDU, the project added multiple units and was completed in 2012.
Marathon invested $3.9 billion to boost its Garyville, Louisiana, refinery from 256,000 bpd to 436,000 bpd in 2009. The refinery has optimized performance of its units to increase production to 522,000 bpd.

Neolane Named One of 'America's Most Promising Companies' by FORBES Magazine
Leading Cloud-Based Marketing Technology Provider Ranked in Top 100 List for High-Growth Companies with Bright Futures
Conversational marketing technology provider Neolane, Inc. today announced it has been listed at No. 64 on FORBES Magazine's annual ranking of America's Most Promising Companies – a list of one-hundred privately held, high-growth companies with bright futures.
"We are honored to be named to such a prestigious list from one of the world's leading business publications. In 2012, Neolane experienced an incredible year of growth and achievements, including the addition of new customers, top analyst recognition and new technology innovation that has propelled our success," said Stéphane Dehoche, president and CEO, Neolane. "This award signifies that there is a real need for cloud-based marketing technology to help marketers increase customer engagement through conversational marketing. We're looking forward to helping even more companies transform their marketing initiatives and customer strategies for years to come."
Neolane thrived in 2012 by helping global brands facilitate a deeper connection with their customers and prospects, driving increased customer lifetime value. As a result, Neolane announced $58 million in revenue and a 40 percent increase in global consolidated growth to close out another profitable year.
For the Most Promising list, FORBES strove for a holistic gauge of young, privately held companies, trying to pin down their trajectories by looking at a slew of variables. Over the course of six months, FORBES reviewed thousands of applications. The final assessment is based on growth (both in sales and hiring), quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships. FORBES turned to CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data research firm that specializes in assessing private companies, to refine the search. Their MOSAIC software scans 45,000 sources to measure a company's health. A new distribution deal, for example, marks a positive signal, while the loss of an executive is a negative. MOSAIC gathers those myriad signals into a final score that FORBES uses as an initial guide in producing the list. After verifying sales numbers, speaking with each company and debating their merits and blemishes, FORBES produces a final ranking.
This is the second annual installment of FORBES' America's Most Promising Companies list that scouts privately held, high-growth companies throughout the country.

Anti-spying coalition demands 'Drone-free LAPD'
Members of a group of civil rights and community activists called the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition stood on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall on Thursday
By Joseph Serna
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A new anti-police-drone campaign says the risk of Los Angeles authorities abusing their power and spying on innocent civilians is too great to allow the department to start using the devices.
Members of a group of civil rights and community activists called the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition stood on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall on Thursday and announced the launch of a campaign aimed at keeping the department's two drones grounded for good.
They chanted, "Drone-free LAPD!" and "No drones LA!"
Coalition members said it is important for the public to limit the militarization of local law enforcement agencies, in light of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
LAPD's arsenal includes armored vehicles, license-plate scanners and flash-and-stun grenades. But its drones are not the fixed-wing type the military is flying overseas, a department spokesman said.
"If we do deploy these, not sure we ever will, it'll be based on a strict set of written guidelines approved by the police commission," said Cmdr. Andy Smith. "Absent approval from the police commission and public acceptance, we're not going to use them. Chief Beck said if it compromises public trust, we won't use them."
The LAPD announced in May that it had acquired two Draganflyer X6 aircraft from Seattle police, which had to ditch the technology after significant public criticism.
But the LAPD has not used them, officials say. The drones are locked up in a federal building until police and the public agree on their use.
And that's where the group outside City Hall on Thursday wants the drones to stay.
"The LAPD, as an institution, has an undeniable legacy of mission creep," said Xander Snyder, a member of Restore the Fourth, a group that aims to limit government surveillance and preserve civilian privacy.
Though police officials suggest drones would only be used to gain better intelligence in tense situations, such as standoffs with a barricaded suspect, critics argued it would not be long before drones were used to monitor public spaces, protests and citizen's backyards.
"As a community, we're not here to be experimented on," said Jamie Garcia, a Boyle Heights nurse and member of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition.

Middle East
It is not that controversial to suggest that the two-state solution - the mantra intoned for decades now by United States politicians when speaking of peace between Israelis and Palestinians - is dead.
OPINION: Indeed, a flurry of recent articles and commentary have all said as much.
But as we watch the conflict in Gaza, it's easy to forget the shadow cast by the lapsed peace process. For more than two weeks, the Israeli military has pummeled the Gaza Strip, home to the militant group Hamas, which has been firing rockets into Israel.
Caught in the warzone are 1.8 million Palestinians living in the cramped, impoverished territory. The resulting carnage has inflamed tensions, led to protests in the West Bank and suggestions that we may see the start of a Third Intifada, or Palestinian uprising.
A recent Pew poll shows there is deepening pessimism among Israelis and Arabs about whether they can co-exist peacefully side by side.
According to initial reports on Friday, the Israeli cabinet, confident in its strength of arms, rejected a US-proposed ceasefire. Even if a ceasefire comes into effect, the anguish and bitterness of the current moment would underscore how distant the prospect of a separate, viable Palestinian state is - an illusory goal that has driven US-led talks for years, despite the steady accumulation of facts on the ground that would militate against it.
Here are some reasons the two-state solution as we know it is dead, all of which echo in the latest tragic round of fighting.
Hamas is dominating the conversation
The Islamist organisation whose militant wing is now locked in combat with Israel, alongside some other jihadist outfits, has never had any real interest in the two-state solution. As Israelis often point out, its founding charter shows no acceptance of the right of Israel to exist.
And Hamas' refusal to renounce violence - something the PLO of the late Yasser Arafat and current Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has done - keeps it firmly in the crosshairs of Israel's vast security apparatus.
The threat posed by Hamas to Israeli civilians is, in the rhetoric of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others in his government, the original sin justifying all offensive Israeli action, including missile strikes, shelling and ground incursions into the Gaza Strip that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians.
Earlier this year, Hamas was on its knees: It had lost allies abroad, was desperately short of funds and faced mounting anger in Gaza, the territory it controls and rules.
The group buried the hatchet with Abbas' Fatah party in the West Bank and joined a unity government - but the Israelis, as Nathan Thrall of the International Crisis Group writes, were opposed to that pact and made it virtually impossible for Hamas to pay the salaries of more than 40,000 public employees working in Gaza, whose economy has been hollowed out by Israeli and Egyptian blockades.
"Hamas is now seeking through violence what it couldn't obtain through a peaceful handover of responsibilities," writes Thrall, referring to the present fighting.
Hamas is an institution built to resist Israeli occupation and thrives in such adversarial circumstances. Previous Israeli campaigns have exacted a punishing toll, particularly on civilians, but Hamas has withstood the offensives, cynically gaining in propaganda as bodies pile up around it. All the while Abbas and the Palestinian establishment - those seeking an independent Palestinian state through dialogue - appear more enfeebled and irrelevant.
Israel doesn't think it needs a separate Palestinian state to feel safe
Netanyahu himself signalled clearly this month that the two-state solution was off the table.
In a speech discussing the current Operation Protective Edge, he made this stark pronouncement: "I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan."
This would mean that any Palestinian state in the West Bank would still functionally exist under occupation, a non-starter for the Palestinians as well as those in the international community pushing for a lasting peace.
But Israeli concerns revolve entirely around the question of security, and its hawkish government appears to think a satisfying resolution can be found militarily. They repeatedly raise the comparative argument: Would your government allow militants to lob lethal rockets onto its citizens?
As Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the US, wrote on Friday in The Washington Post, "war must be given a chance" to root out Hamas. There is strong support for this point of view in Israeli society, which has moved markedly toward the right since the 1993 Oslo accords that were supposed to pave the way for a two-state solution.
Amira Hass, a left-wing Israeli journalist, sums up the bleak calculus: Gaza and the West Bank are cut off. Hamas controls the Gaza Strip, but under conditions that we dictate, just as Fatah and the [Abbas' Palestinian Authority] "rule" in their pockets in the West Bank, in accordance with our conditions. If the Palestinians need to be tamed at times, we will tame them with blood and with more blood. And peace be upon Israel.
The settlements are here to stay
Despite being considered illegal under international law, the construction of settlements in the West Bank has continued apace during Netanyahu's tenure in office. Settlers form a key constituency for some of the parties in Netanyahu's ruling coalition and have led to the rise of far-right politicians like Naftali Bennett, who rejects the idea of an independent Palestinian state.
The settlements are scattered all over the West Bank, as well as in East Jerusalem - which the Palestinians would want as the capital of their independent state - and would pose a permanent challenge to the territorial integrity of a Palestinian state. The Israelis framed their actions as counter-measures to the Palestinians' quixotic bids for recognition at the UN, a symbolic status that speaks to how little leverage Abbas and his negotiators actually have.
Much to the ire of the Obama administration, Netanyahu's government expanded settlement construction even as peace talks were ongoing. And they unveiled plans to build in areas away from the established "blocks" of settlements that sit not far from the Green Line, the border demarcating the West Bank and Israel. The new planned settlements would likely be occupied by deeply religious Jews who see all the land in the West Bank, home to 2.5m Palestinians, as belonging to Israel.
The Israelis say that the settlements don't preclude a two-state solution and that withdrawal of some settlers and land swaps elsewhere could yield a viable Palestinian state. (It would remain demilitarised, with Israeli military control over its borders up to Jordan.) But the political will to actually achieve that kind of agreement is nowhere to be seen.
Martin Indyk, lead US mediator in the last failed round of talks, quit his post in part out of frustration with Israel's "sabotage" of the process with its expansion of settlements, which he said "are doing great damage to Israel's future".
As Dan Drezner noted last week in The Washington Post, when even the Americans realise that the process is going nowhere, then you know it's in bad shape. He cites a lengthy piece in the New Republic on Secretary of State John Kerry's nine-month mission to find an agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians. "I think we have some period of time - in one to one-and-a-half to two years - or it's over," Kerry is quoted saying at a House hearing.
"Well," as Drezner writes, "it's over." And now the much harder question of how to deal with the occupation and the rights of millions of Palestinians - as well as Israel's growing political alienation on the international stage - will need to be pondered all over again in Washington.

By Matt Rivers, Dan Wing
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia Police say a 22-year old Point Breeze man is being charged with murder for a shooting in Grays Ferry Friday night that left a 3-year old girl dead.
In addition to murder, police charged Douglas Woods with 3 counts of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Violation of Uniform Firearms Act and related offenses.
The shooting took place at about 9:40 p.m. on August 1st in the 1500 block of South Etting Street in the city's Grays Ferry section.
A 24-year-old was struck in the head and remains in critical condition. A 21-year-old man was struck in the leg and will be fine. A 28-year-old woman was struck in the arm and is recovering.
But the shooting's victim, three-year-old Tynirah Borum, was hit in the chest and died shortly after 10 p.m. Friday at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The young girl was described by family and friends as a delight—a young kid with a bright smile and willing affection.
"She was a beautiful little girl, just full of life, knew everybody around the neighborhood, run up to somebody she doesn't even know and give them a big hug," said her mother, Tamika Borum.
Borum had brought her daughter to her friend's house shortly after 9 p.m. to get her hair braided. The 28-year-old victim and Tynirah were sitting on a porch when the shooting started. Tamika says she heard the shots:
"I ran around the corner and there was blood everywhere. It was very devastating, that was my only child."
Police took Woods into custody shortly after the incident as a person of interest. Even though Woods is being charged with murder, Police say they are still searching for a second suspect in connection with the shooting.
On Saturday, the Grays Ferry Community rallied to end violence and a vigil was held for the young victim Saturday night.
This is the fourth child to be killed in Philadelphia in the last week, after three children were killed in a fatal hit-and-run last Friday.

Under New EU ETS, UK Will Have to Get More Renewable
Under the European Union's emissions trading scheme to reduce GHG, the UK, currently taking three percent of its energy from renewable resources, will have to quintuple that to 15 percent by 2020, reports the Guardian. The move will force power generators, refiners and other industries such as steel, cement and paper to bid for permits to emit CO2. According to this article, free energy permits have thus far given big energy producers large windfall profits.
The new ETS scheme will impose an auction for emissions permits from 2013, when two-thirds of permits for nearly 11,000 plants should be subject to bidding. These industries will have to cut emissions by 21 percent below 2005 levels.
Strengthening the ETS by lowering emissions levels is seen as necessary to ensure long-term credible prices for carbon, but a recent article cited the burden it would place on some heavy industries. In order to keep these industries competitive, the EU has considered carbon tariffs on imports from places where emissions standards are lower.
Jake Ulrich, managing director of Centrica Energy, said that putting a high price on CO2 emissions would create a scarcity value for permits, and "only then will there be an incentive to really go out and invest more in cleaner but more expensive generation plant.
"The British government supports the move towards full auction for permits but is worried about how it will affect some sectors. One measure the UK is considering is a controversial plan to build a hydro-electric barrage across the Severn, which could generate five percent of Britain's electricity demand.

The present invention relates to a device for determining a rotary angle. In particular it relates to a device which has two bodies which are movable relative to one another and at least one sensor coil through which alternating current flows and whose inductive and alternating resistance value is changed due to relative change of the size of the regions of the bodies associated with the coil.
A device of the above mentioned general type is disclosed for example in the German document DE-OS 39 16 864.6. The coil body disclosed in this reference has a slot at its end side so that two semi-circular cores are produced. A sensor coil is wound on each of the cores and is in operative connection with a sleeve body. The sleeve body has a slot or zone of electrically non-conductive material. Since the sensor operates in accordance with the so-called eddy current principle, the measuring signal can be distorted by eventual wobbling movements which change the distance between the coil and the inner side of the sleeve body. This negatively influences the accuracy of the measuring signal and thereby the determination of the rotary angle.
The German document DE-OS 38 24 535.3 discloses another device for determination of a rotary angle, which operates in accordance with the eddy current principle. In this document the sleeve body is arranged on the coil body. However, here also the measuring signal can be distorted due to frictional losses between these parts.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for determining the rotary angle, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention resides, briefly stated, in that one of the bodies of the inventive device is arranged with a mechanical prestress relative to another of the bodies.
When the device is designed in accordance with the present invention, a measuring signal is produced with a relatively higher accuracy than in the prior art devices. The distance between the rotary part and the coil no longer affects the measuring signal. The measuring ring snaps directly on the coil or on the coil body without a gap therebetween, so that the wobbling movements of the rotary part can no longer act on the measuring signal. The measuring signal is completely independent of the bearing play of the driver which transmits the rotary movement to the shaft to be monitored.
The measuring ring does not require a special bearing and can be guided directly in or on the coil body. Since it suffices to snap the measuring ring on, the mounting is very simple. Furthermore, it is possible to assemble the structural parts to form pre-mounted units, so that an end mounting is very simply and fast. During the operation of the device the distance between the coil or the coil carrier and the measuring parts is automatically adjusted to a constant value. Therefore there is no aging process with regard to distance. Also, a constant distance is maintained despite temperature fluctuations.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the coil or coils can be arranged on the second body which serves as a coil body.
The coil body can be composed of at least two portions which are offset in an axial direction and also offset in a radial direction by 180� and the coils can be mounted on the portions.
Still another feature of the present invention is that the first body can be mounted on a driver which provides a rotary movement for joint rotation with the driver.
Finally, in accordance with another feature of the present invention, the first body can be in operative connection with the driver which provides the rotary movement, the driver can be rotatably supported in the second body, and the spring which operates as a return spring for the first body can be arranged between the first body and the second body.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a longitudinal section of a device for determining a rotary angle in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the inventive device shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view showing a longitudinal section of a device for determining a rotary angle in accordance with another embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the inventive device shown in FIG. 3.
A measuring device for determining a rotary angle shown in FIG. 1 is formed as a throttle valve position sensor 10. The throttle valve position sensor measures the turning position of the throttle valve arranged in the suction pipe of an internal combustion engine. It is mounted on a shaft for joint rotation with it and therefore produces an electrical output signal corresponding to the rotary or turning angle of the throttle valve from its rest position.
The throttle valve position sensor 10 has a housing 11 with an integrated plug housing 12 located at one side and provided for an electrical plug contact 13. A coil body 14 is inserted in the housing 10. Two coils 15 and 16 are wound on the coil body 14. Both coils 15 and 16 are connected with electrical components of an electrical circuit plate 19 by electrically insulated electrical conductors 18. The circuit plate 19 is in contact with the plug contact 13. The circuit plate 19 forms an intermediate bottom in the housing 11, while a sealing and dampening plate 20 is located under the intermediate bottom and forms a closure for the housing 10. The housing 10 is surrounded by a screening cap 21 which is composed, for example, of steel, aluminum, bronze and provides a protection from electromagnetic radiation.
The coil body 14 has a substantially central, throughgoing opening 25 which accommodates a driver 26. The driver 26 has the function of an adaptor for connecting the shaft whose rotary movement is to be determined, to the measuring device and in particular to the throttle valve position sensor 10 disclosed here. The driver 26 has a projection 27 extending between the coil body 14 and the circuit plate 19. A groove 28 is formed in the projection 27 and a measuring ring 30 is inserted fixedly in the groove. The measuring ring 30 covers the periphery of the coil body 14 over an angular region of approximately 210� and has a height which at least overlaps the height of both coils 15 and 16. The measuring ring 30 is composed of electrically conductive material and/or ferromagnetic material. The measuring ring 30 is arranged on an insert member 31 composed of synthetic plastic material, in particular of electrically non-conductive material, so that the ends of the measuring ring 30 are inserted in the insert member for its fixing. The measuring ring 30 in accordance with the present invention has a mechanical prestress, so that during mounting it can be snapped on the coil body 14 and thereafter slidingly seated on it. When the mechanical prestress of the measuring ring is selected, the friction of the coil body 14 on the measuring ring 30 must be retained as low as possible. It is however also possible to arrange the mounting ring 30 not on the coil body 14, but instead directly on the coils 15, 16.
The coil body 14 is composed preferably of electrically non-conductive material and subdivided into two portions 35 and 36 which are offset relative to one another in an axial direction. The portions 35, when seen in a cross-section are approximately sickle-shaped or D-shaped. Further, the portions 35 and 36 are offset relative to one another by 180� in a radial direction. Therefore, when the portions 35 and 36 are D-shaped, the approximately flat surfaces or surfaces with the greater radius face toward one another. In any case, the portions 35 and 36 must surround correspondingly the axle, or in another words the driver 26. The coils 15 and 16 are correspondingly wound on the portions 35 and 36 in a peripheral direction of the coil body 14 and formed for example as wire coils. Due to the axial offset of the portions 35 and 36, it is possible to wind both coils during the manufacturing process in a simple manner with a winding machine without additional substantial conversion. In particular both coils 15 and 16 can be wound simultaneously so that only one working step is needed. Due to the offset of the portions relative to one another in a radial direction by 180�, the coil 15 is spaced by a maximum distance from the measuring ring 30, while simultaneously the coil 16 is spaced from the measuring ring 30 by a minimum distance. During the rotation of the measuring ring 30 relative to the coil body, the distance of the coils 15 and 16 relative to the measuring ring 30 changes in opposite directions.
In the initial position the measuring ring 30 is oriented so that it overlaps both coils 15 and 16 with approximately equal peripheral surfaces. The measuring device can operate in accordance with the inductive and/or eddy current principle, wherein in both cases an alternating current is supplied through the coils 15 and 16. For providing the measurements, the measuring ring 30 is turned around the coil body 14 or moved around it over a desired angular region, or in other words the position of the measuring ring 30 and the coils 15, 16 relative to one another is changed. For this purpose the rotation of the throttle valve by means of the shaft is transmitted to the driver 26. The drive 26 moves proportionally to the rotation of the throttle valve, while the coil body remains stationary. Since the measuring ring 30 is fixedly arranged on the projection 27 of the driver 26, it also performs a rotary movement proportional to the throttle valve. A further measuring signal generation by means of the eddy current principle will be illustrated hereinbelow. When an alternating current, in particular a high frequency alternating current, flows through the coils 15, 16 a magnetic alternating field is produced on the coils 15, 16 and acts on the metallic surface of the measuring ring 30. The greater the surface of the measuring ring 30 through which the magnetic field passes, the higher eddy current is produced. The magnitude of the produced eddy current is dependent on the utilized material of the measuring ring 30 as well as on the distance of the individual coils 15 and 16 from the surface of the measuring ring 30. Due to the eddy current produced on the measuring ring 30, the coil alternating current resistance of both coils 15 and 16 changes, and this is used for producing a measuring signal. Since simultaneously the coil inductivity reduces, the inductivity change can also be utilized for producing a measuring signal (coil inductivity evaluating method). During the rotary movement of the measuring ring 30 the surface of the measuring ring 30 which is associated with the corresponding coil 15 and 16 changes in opposite directions. For example the surface of the measuring ring 15 which is associated with the coil 30 is increased by the amount, by which it is reduced relative to the coil 16. Both coils 15 and 16 are for example connected in a Wheatstone semi-bridge circuit when the method of the coil alternating current resistance is utilized. Thereby the measuring errors which simultaneously occur in the coils 15 and 16 and act in opposite directions are compensated. In particular, this connection with the coils 15, 16 compensates for example errors resulting from temperature fluctuations.
Instead of the above described eddy current principle, also the inductive measuring method can be utilized as mentioned hereinabove. In this case however the measuring ring 30 must be composed of ferromagnetic material on the surfaces facing the coils 15, 16. For this purpose the measuring ring 30 can be composed of ferromagnetic material or a ferromagnetic layer can be applied on it. In contrast to the eddy current principle, the penetration depth of the electromagnetic alternating field of the coils 15, 16 is smaller. While during the eddy current principle the coil inductivity is reduced, in the inductive method, depending on the ferromagnetic and electrically conductive properties of the material (ferromagnetic effect) it can increase.
Since the measuring principle is correspondingly dependent on the distance of the coils 15, 16 from the surface of the measuring ring 30, in the inventive arrangement an approximately complete suppression of an error caused for example by wobble movements of the shaft can be achieved. Further, the angular region of the measuring ring 30 is not limited to 210�. This angular region is considered in the practice as especially favorable, while a greater, approximately linear region of the calibration curve can be obtained with a greater measuring angle.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 the measuring ring 30 is arranged on the coil body 14 or in other words on the coils 15 and 16 and surrounds them from outside. The measuring ring shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is however located inside the coil body or the coils. The housing 10a has an integrated plug housing 12a for the electrical plug contact 13a. In contrast to the other embodiment, the circuit plate 19a is not formed as an intermediate plate, but instead is arranged in a chamber 40 of the housing 10a. The coil body 41 has a cup-shaped design and is fixed in the housing 10a. Two coils 42 and 43 are arranged on its outer wall and cover an angular region of correspondingly approximately 120�. The coils 42, 43 have a rectangular design. With the use of the wire coils, the wire is wound on two hooks 44. Thereby two coil tracks extending over the above mentioned angular region of 120� are produced, and one of the tracks is shown in FIG. 4. It is especially advantageous to utilize here flat coils which are glued to the wall of the coil body 41 or applied for example by thick film technology.
The driver 47 extends in the opening of the coil 41. The shaft whose rotary movement is to be measured is inserted in the driver 47. The driver 47 has a ring groove 48 and a projection 49 engaging in the housing opening 50 and snapped in it. One end of a spring 51 abuts against a bottom 52 of the coil body 41, while the other end of the spring 41 is located in a recess 53 formed on the driver 47. The end of the spring 51 abuts against a fold 55 of a sliding ring 46. The fold 55 and thereby the abutment region of the spring 51 is located on the sliding ring 46 substantially diametrically opposite to the region in which both coils 42, 43 almost abut against one another or are arranged at the smallest distance from one another in a peripheral direction. Due to this arrangement the sliding ring 46 in the initial position overlaps both coils 42, 43 by the same distance.
The spring 51 has the purpose of moving back the sliding ring 46 after the deviation to its initial position. Further, the spring 51 provides a play-free arrangement of the driver 47 in the coil body 41 during the rotary movement. The rotary movement of the driver 47 is transmitted to the sliding ring 46 by a ring-shaped driving member 57. The driving member 57 is connected with the driver 47 by a projection 58 in a force-transmitting member. On the other hand it abuts with an end against the fold 55 of the sliding ring 46 at the side opposite to the spring 51. In order to provide a uniform, play-free drive of the sliding ring 47, the driving member 57 is supported slidingly on a projection 60 of the coil body 41. The projection 60 abuts against the driving member 57 and extends between the driving member 57 and the spring 51 into the coil body 41. The projection 60 simultaneously serves as a rotary angle limiting member, for preventing overstressing of the spring 51. The projection 60 serves also as a screening sheet between the spring and the coils.
The generation of the measuring signal in this embodiment corresponds to the operation of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. A rotary movement which is to be determined is transferred by the driver 47 and the driving member 57 to the sliding ring 46. The sliding ring 46 is moved against the force of the spring 51, and the overlapping of the sliding ring 46 with one coil 42 reduces by an amount by which the overlapping of the sliding ring 46 with the other coil 43 increases. For further measuring signal generation the above provided description is sufficiently explanatory, it is to be understood that different forms of the coils can be used in both embodiments.
When the driver 47 is again moved back to its initial position, then due to the force of the spring 51 the sliding ring 46 is again displaced back to its initial position and the sliding ring 46 again has overlapping with both coils 42, 43 for example of the same size. In this embodiment again due to its mechanical prestress the sliding ring during the mounting can be snapped in the protective casing 44 in a very simple manner, so that the distance between the sliding ring 46 and the coils 42, 43 is independent of wobble movements or other causes of potential errors.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a device for contactless determination of a rotary angle, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.

Green: I'd joined QPR to be the No 1 keeper but then Hughes told me I could leave whenever I liked
Rob Green remembers the precise moment when his world turned upside down at Queens Park Rangers.
The England star's bag was packed and he was about to leave home for a Capital One Cup clash against Walsall in late August when he flicked on the television to catch up with the sports news and saw pictures of Brazil World Cup goalkeeper Julio Cesar arriving at Loftus Road.
Green, who had signed from West Ham just a few weeks earlier in the belief that he would be first-choice goalkeeper at Rangers, had heard rumours of Cesar joining but insists he had been assured by the club that it was just 'paper talk'. Now, in front of his disbelieving eyes, it had become reality.
Eye on the jersey: QPR keeper Rob Green
As Green reflected on events that he says were the worst moments in his 16 years as a professional, he recalled his shock at realising the new challenge he had planned for himself at QPR was about to go horribly wrong.
'I came to QPR looking for a new challenge after six years at West Ham, a wonderful time capped off by promotion at Wembley,' said Green. 'Kevin Hitchcock, the goalkeeping coach at QPR, is an old mate and I came to work for him on the understanding that I was first choice. I'd played for England in May, I was in the European Championship squad and, at 32, I'm in the prime of my life.
'If he'd said to me we're also going to sign someone who's won Serie A five times and the Champions League and is one of the biggest names in South American football, I would have thought twice before signing.'
Out of luck: Mark Hughes was sacked as QPR boss
Green says that when he saw the news that Cesar was joining QPR, he rang the club and asked what was going on.
'I said I'd just seen Cesar turn up at the ground,' said Green. 'They replied, "Oh, is he here, then?" I thought to myself, "OK, now I've got to get my head around this and go off and play a football match".'
Hail Cesar: Julio Cesar in action for QPR
Ever the professional, Green did just that and QPR won comfortably on the night, but the goalkeeper still needed some answers.
'I'd read rumours in the press about Julio coming, but when I asked officials at the club they dismissed it as paper talk and said he wasn't going to sign. Now that the Brazilian had joined the club I needed to know where I stood.
'I asked (the then manager) Mark Hughes. He told me Julio was going to play, that I'd done nothing wrong and that he wanted two top keepers competing for the position. I replied, "Well, if he's going straight into the first team he's not really competing, is he? Where does that leave me?" Hughes replied, "You're free to leave whenever you want". It wasn't quite what I wanted to hear.'
Green has known the highs and lows of professional football.
last-minute injury which ruled him out of the 2006 World Cup and the
blunder that allowed the United States to equalise in the 2010 World Cup
must be weighed against a long and successful career at Norwich and
West Ham and his 12 England caps. But Green says he had never
experienced anything like this.
my talks with the club they admitted they had done this with not a
great deal of consideration of where it left me,' he said.
'It made me
realise that I would struggle to play because Julio is a couple of
months older than me, and anyone looking in would soon be asking why
their top Brazilian, signed on a four-year contract, was not playing. I
couldn't compete on a financial level and it was out of my control. I
also knew Mark Hughes traditionally stuck with his preferred goalkeeper
at all his previous clubs.'
Green has no quarrel with Cesar.
Out in the cold: Rob green (back, centre) was shunned by former QPR boss Mark Hughes (right)
'The first thing Julio did on arriving at the club was to seek me out and shake my hand, which I appreciated,' he admitted. 'He's a nice fellow who hasn't done anything wrong. I remember saying to Brian Murphy, an Irish keeper also at the club, "This is going to make my situation even harder as Julio's such a nice guy".
'The last game I played for QPR under the Hughes regime was our defeat at Manchester City, and by then I'd been told, even before the kick-off, that I would be dropped for him afterwards.'
Green's exile would last the best part of three months.
'In a 16-year professional career I'd been dropped twice for four-week periods. This was, by far, the longest out of first-team action. I made the most of it by clearing up niggling injuries, getting fitter with a personal trainer and joining a local gym to add to my daily training, analysing myself and others as keepers and realising that negative things have happened to me before and I've seen them out.' It was clear, however, that he was making no headway with his manager.
'The manager and I never spoke, but it was clear I wasn't happy,' he added.
In the hot seat: Harry Redknapp is the new manager of QPR
Meanwhile, QPR slumped to the bottom of the Premier League with no wins, eight defeats and just four points from their opening 12 league games. The inevitable happened a fortnight ago when Hughes was sacked and Harry Redknapp became the new boss.
Green is not prepared to admit that the departure of Hughes gave him cause to celebrate, but the events hardly surprised him.
'It wasn't too difficult a decision for the board to make, was it?' he said. 'We hadn't won a game. You've got to draw the line somewhere. I've seen 18 managers go at the clubs I've been playing for. It's a part of football, isn't it? It's not like a steel worker in Sheffield getting a paltry pay-off and no new job prospects. I'm sure he was disappointed but he'll get another job in football.'
Nevertheless, Redknapp made an immediate impression on Green.
'At the end of his first training session Harry made a point of coming over to me. He had tried to sign me when he was at Portsmouth and Spurs, and it was good to hear him tell me how much he liked me as a keeper. It gave me a boost. That's why everyone in football likes him, and that's why he's a good manager. I said my bit about what had gone on and I told him all I wanted was a fair crack at it. He said it was a fresh start for everyone.'
Food for thought: Rob Green is keen to keep his QPR place
Cesar started the next game, the draw at Sunderland, but he injured his groin and Green replaced him at half-time.
Green then played in the 1-1 home draw against Aston Villa, and the 2-2 draw at Wigan.
'I'm in the jersey now and it's up to me to play well enough to keep it,' said Green. 'I believe Harry when he says it's a fair fight on form alone so we'll see how it all turns out.'
Green believes that under Redknapp, and despite having a squad featuring 13 new signings still learning to gel, relegation is far from inevitable.
Man in possession: Rob Green in action for QPR against Wigan
'I remember being at West Ham when we never got out of the drop zone all season under Avram Grant and the situation was only addressed 45 minutes after we got relegated when they got rid of the manager.
'It was a situation that needed to be addressed at QPR. How long do you leave these matters? It hasn't helped having so many new players in the short term, even though I'm one of them.
'I don't want to sound like a member of UKIP but with so many different nations, cultures and languages there have been a lot of changes and it takes time to gel. I don't believe we've got close to our potential, the quality in the squad is high. Harry arriving has boosted us all, he has a track record of getting teams out of trouble, and with two or three wins we'd be out of this immediate mess.'
As for Green, his future at QPR is by no means certain. Cesar's injury is minor and he may even be back competing for the jersey next week. Green does not mind the competition.
'I back myself, I'm confident and I'm in great shape,' he said. 'Now that I've been assured it's a fair fight Julio will have to play well to get his jersey back.'

Milwaukee, the eighth best "River Town" in America
If you don't already appreciate our hometown's amazing access to water, you should. Our beaches, Lake Michigan, the countless inland lakes and, of course our rivers. All are wonderful reasons why we live where we live.
Outside Magazine and its readers are noticing Milwaukee's ways with water too as its latest issue tags Milwaukee as the "eighth best River Town in America."
Boosting the headline, "A city reinvented as the Silicon Valley of water," the feature on Milwaukee is wonderful and focuses on what many of us know, Milwaukee's a gem and still too much of a "hidden treasure."
It begins, "'People underestimate Milwaukee,' says reader Nancy Welch. It's a common theme among residents who voted for their hometown. So are the innovative ways the city has reinvented itself over the past decade, most of them involving water."
Read the full post here, and get out this weekend and enjoy our water. Even if you don't swim in the Lake or kayak the Milwaukee River, remember that beer, after all, is also mostly water.
