Sarasota Police Chief Peter Abbott has been on paid leave since July for his handling of an incident in which a police officer kicked a handcuffed arrestee. Friday, he will learn whether he will be reinstated, suspended longer or fired.
The city is expected to release Friday the 3,000-page internal-affairs report on the events that followed the June 26 arrest of Juan Perez on disorderly intoxication charges. Any possible punishments of the police officers and city employees involved also will be revealed Friday.
Perez was inside officer Christopher Childers' car at the jail's booking facility. He climbed out the window and fell to the ground. When he tried to get up, Childers kicked him twice in the torso and knocked him back to the ground.
Although he was informed immediately of the incident, Lt. Kenneth Rainey, the police department's shift commander that day, did not report it to his supervisor for 12 days.
Once Abbott was informed, he asked the city Risk Manager Larry Hobbs to make a settlement offer to Gomez-Perez in exchange for waiving his right to sue the city.
The lead detective in the case, Sgt. Kenneth Castro, also was asked to help negotiate that deal.
Hobbs and Castro visited Gomez-Perez Saturday, July 11, and gave him $400.
Abbott and Hobbs did not keep City Manager Bob Bartolotta informed of the case and their actions. Bartolotta asked members of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office to investigate the police department and city government employees involved in the kicking its aftermath.
The state attorney's office found no evidence that Childers committed a crime in his handling of Perez, and a preliminary release of the internal-affairs report concluded that no one involved in the incident and its aftermath "engaged in illegal, unethical or immoral conduct."
Visit YourObserver.com throughout the day Friday for continued coverage.

Optical fiber communicationsThe third edition of this popular text and reference book presents the fundamental principles for understanding and applying optical fiber technology to sophisticated modern telecommunication systems.. Optical-fiber-based telecommunication networks have become a major information-transmission-system, with high capacity links encircling the globe in both terrestrial and undersea installations. Numerous passive and active optical devices within these links perform complex transmission and networking functions in the optical domain, such as signal amplification, restoration, routing, and switching. Along with the need to understand the functions of these devices comes the necessity to measure both component and network performance, and to model and stimulate the complex behavior of reliable high-capacity networks. |

Beez-qweek? Ooh la la!
"Who? Moi?" I said in disbelief.
Well, maybe a little subversive. But I've got to say it stuck in my craw early in January when a West Coast blogger made a crack about Rachael Ray using Bisquick on another site.
Now, let me say that I am no big fan of Rachael Ray. I don't even know if she uses Bisquick. But it was a slap in the face to a third blogger and a not-so-nice comment all around.
I don't like that. I always cheer for the underdog. Don't mess with the underdog in front of me.
(Let's get one thing straight about Rachael Ray, too: I might not cook the way she does. Well, I might sometimes. But I would never say EVOO instead of extra-virgin olive oil. I used the term "yum," but never "yum-o." I give her credit for teaching people that good-tasting food need not be hard to make. End of subject.)
As for Bisquick, it has saved my derriere more times that I can recall. When I was a very poor college student, holding down several jobs and struggling to pay the rent and go to a Big Ten university, I always kept Bisquick on hand for the days before payday, when I had no money for baguettes or bagels. (Those were my heavy carb-eating days). I made biscuits and that got me through.
My husband makes dumplings with Bisquick so we always have some around. From time to time, I use it, especially for quick desserts.
March 15: Le Jour de Bisquick
In the comments following yesterday's post, we've sort of joked about having Bisquick Day, a day when we make something using this 77-year-old product, photograph it and share the recipe with readers.
I hearby declare March 15 Bisquick Day. Your challenge, fellow bloggers, is to make something either up-market or down-home with Bisquick (or any other pre-made mix, even one you mix yourself).
If you want to participate, e-mail me by March 10 and I will prepare a post on March 15 that offers a link to your sites. Specify which category — up-market or down-home — your recipe falls into. You can share the name of your recipe if you like, or it can be a surprise.
As for moi, I plan to find some way to incorporate Bisquick into a classic French recipe.
Or, maybe I will make something I can stack and tie.

Oh my goodness, well, I guess if you must you must. Maybe I'll work on some homemade qeez-qweek...

I cannot resist a challenge, Tanna.

I think I should be able to participate.
I remember that comment, it was pretty stupid to say in that forum. I stopped reading that west coast person's blog after that. - 07 February, 2007 20:51
- Mimi said...
Me, too, Paul. A pity.
I will count you in! - 07 February, 2007 20:53
Love it, love it, love it! I'm in! It reminds me of what I called WOBAT on my blog: weekend obnoxious but amazingly tasty recipes. And I agree with you. There's a time and a place for everything in life. There's not reason to be a big snob. In my heart I love Paula Deen as much as I love Emeril or any of the other "real" chefs. They're just different with different styles and different styles of food. It's all about plenty of time and room in life to experience and enjoy everything.
- 07 February, 2007 21:24
- Mimi said...
I've seen some of your recipes, Glenna, they are so cool.
Good, I'll count you in, too.
Yeah, what ever happened that "Different strokes for different folks stuff?"
Paula Deen is cool. I'm really coming to love The Barefoot Contessa, too. - 07 February, 2007 21:28

Ooooh la la...the bisquick chicken pot pie on the side of the box is delectable....

- Christine said...
Doesn't Bisquick have trans fats in it? I don't keep any around so can't read the label. If it does, I'll have to bow out of this otherwise very fun sounding event.
And good for you for defending Ms. Ray. She's hard for me to watch, but she's sure done a lot to help change America's (bad) eating habits. - 07 February, 2007 21:37
- Mimi said...
The stuff I use is called Bisquick Heart Smart, which is supposed to be lower in fats.
The regular stuff does have 1.5 gr per 1/3 cup. But I've never used a recipe that called for tons of the stuff. Maybe a half cup at a time?
All things in moderation. - 07 February, 2007 21:46
- Mimi said...
I just want to add here that any pre-made baking mix is acceptable.
We're not touting Bisquick.
Just having some fun. - 07 February, 2007 22:14
- Husband said...
I love you Mimi. I have to admit this makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure Bisquick is one of the things I cooked with when I was a little kid. Everytime I see it I think of that. And I also think of this Michael Chabon article in Details about the time we started our blog that said the same thing about him. So carry on, I'm right with you!
- 07 February, 2007 22:38
- Mimi said...
You'll do one, H?
Too cool. You and W have some of the best pix around!
Many thanks! You won my heart when you did Tater Tots. - 07 February, 2007 22:40

Only with Heinz!!!!
- 07 February, 2007 23:51
- Lydia said...
Well, Mimi, you have thrown down the gauntlet! I'll have to check my pantry and see if there's any Bisquick lurking about!
- 08 February, 2007 04:51
- Mimi said...
Remember, you can use a generic mix, low-fat mix, healtfy alternative or a home-made baking mix.
The idea is not to promote Bisquick but to debunk the myth that such things have no place in the kitchen. And to have fun. - 08 February, 2007 06:31
- Jann said...
Mimi- You rock! I love your attitude and your outlook on the underdogs-you know, I have found in France, some packaged flour based concoction, that I believe, was not too far from bisquick! Distant cousins!I will see if I can locate it again. Nevertheless,it is a staple in many Americans kitchens, still today.I'll find sometime to create a dish or two and send it your way. With all the bashing in the world today, I can't understand why I see these people and their shows on t v. and not the" bashers"- hummmmmm.A little respect is indeed due to some of these t.v. personalities who have daily shows-Many of the bloggers aren't scheduled yet-count me in........
- 08 February, 2007 07:15
- Mimi said...
Thanks, Jann. I am sure I saw something very similar in France, not at the specialty shops, of course, but at the supermarkets. I was amazed at all the convenience foods I saw.
I try not to use them, but sometimes. . .
Anyway, I heartiliy agree, what's the point of bashing someone for something? So much easier to accept differences!
Vive les differences! - 08 February, 2007 07:25
- ChrisB said...
Mimi I had to search for 'bisquick' to make sure I knew about the product- we have many similar here in UK. I will actually be away March 10-17 but would have loved to take up the challenge. Contrary to what my food bloggy daughter says/ may wish to remember we did use baking mixes such as scones, fairy cakes, and pizza base.
Should I manage to prepare something in advance to post on that day I will. - 08 February, 2007 08:56
- Rachel said...
Very clever! I hate food blog snark!
- 08 February, 2007 09:20
- Mimi said...
Oh Chris, feel free to make something in advance. I'll bet you make some wonderful baked goodies.
This is gonna be fun!
I'm with you, Rachel! Down with snark. Are you in? - 08 February, 2007 09:45
- Erika said...
Oh how fun! I wholeheartedly agree Mimi. Some of the snobbery out here in the blogosphere is just mean-ness in a poor disguise. I happen to have something delightful in mind for Beez-Qweek Day, although I will likely use Jiffy Baking Mix instead.
- 08 February, 2007 12:49
- Mimi said...
Any kind is fine! There are many, many baking mixes out there.
In fact, I'll have to chaneg the name to baking mix day. LOL.
The Ides of March: Beware Baking Mix Day. - 08 February, 2007 12:51
I use the lowfat Bisquick, it makes tasty and quick dumplings for my beef stew.
- 08 February, 2007 15:42
- Glenna said...
Mimi--I bought my Bisquik heart healthy today!!!! I did look at the other mixes but they all have transfats in them. Now I can go play!
- 08 February, 2007 16:14
- Mimi said...
We love Bisquick dumplings, Eileen.
Trans fats should be outlawed everywhere.
Good for you, Glenna! This will be fun!
Eileen, wanna play? - 08 February, 2007 18:50
- Kristen said...
I'm in. I missed the whole RR/Bisquick blog discussion, but as a mom who sometimes has to throw things together on a budget, Bisquick (or the homemade mix equivalent) has been known to come in handy. Especially for those yummy cheddar biscuits. Love those!
- 08 February, 2007 19:37
- Mimi said...
I'm so glad you're in, Kristen!
- 08 February, 2007 20:10
- Rachel said...
Maybe, I have to see if it is on sale some where or if I can borrow some. I hate to buy a whole box if I am not going to use it again!
- 09 February, 2007 09:35
- Mimi said...
I'm going to post some links to homemade mix recipes later today. No need to buy a whole box!
- 09 February, 2007 09:51
- Lisa said...
I am way in! Confession: When I was a kid and there was nothing around to eat, I used to mix up Bisquick, a little sugar, and a little milk or water in a teacup . . . and just eat it. And a Bisquick coffee cake (recipe on side of box) may have been the first thing I ever cooked.
I will make what was my father's favorite: beef stew with Bisquick dumplings on top.
Oh, and—I was saying "yummo" long before Rachel Ray was a gleam in her mother's eye. But I don't mind her borrowing the word. :) - 09 February, 2007 14:16
- Mimi said...
LOL, Lisa, I'm glad you're in!
The way I see it, participating does not mean an endorsement of a particular product.
It's more of a challenge — and it ought to be fun. - 09 February, 2007 14:55

text: Central Utah Relocation Center (Topaz) Site, UT: The Central Utah Relocation Center Site, commonly known as "Topaz,"was one of ten relocation centers built to intern Japanese Americans during World War II. It illustrates one of the most tragic episodes in twentieth-century American history: the forced removal of Japanese Americans from designated "military zones" on the West Coast amid the wartime hysteria that followed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Topaz was occupied from September 1942 to October 1945. At its peak, the facility housed 8,130 internees. |

The irony is that a friend of mine actually thought that Last Days Of Gravity was too mainstream for her. Her definition of underground were groups like The Cure, Muse and Radiohead.
Did I just read that? In which country does she live??? WHERE is LDOG mainstream and have people not heard much of The Cure, Muse and Radiohead? It would be a rather interesting place… Is is even on earth?

I -- Laura Ingraham in for Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight.
Religious liberty and obamacare that's -- subject of this evening's talking points and am now.
Late yesterday Supreme Court justice justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal to temporarily delay the obamacare contraception handing.
It requires workers health benefit plans to cover the morning after pill and other emergency contraception.
In September hobby lobby it's a chain of more than 500 arts and crafts stores and its sister company of Christian themed book stores.
Sue the government.
Claiming that the HHS a mandate violated the religious rights of the company's owners the -- -- the greens are evangelical Christians.
The Oklahoma based company requested emergency relief from the emergency contraceptive mandate.
After a lower court denied their request for a religious exemption.
The new rule goes into effect on New Year's Day.
Although Sotomayor didn't rule on the merits of the case her refusal to grant a temporary stay of -- HHS contraception and aboard -- -- rule.

Of one point three million dollars.
Or stop offering their employees health care or abide by the rule and violate their religious conscience now.
It's was noting that when she sat on a second Circuit Court of Appeals.

Also have religious rights.
It turns out as many feared the president's religious exemptions -- -- contraception mandate is own narrow as to be meaningless.
Unless you employ and serve only those of your same religious faith you don't see even exemption.
So under that standard Jesus himself would not qualify.
The little sisters of the pour a saintly order of nuns who give beautiful care and housing to our nation's indigent seniors.

Then he may have to shutter their homes all across the United States and to be a tragedy.
This is unconscionable.
And on constitutional.

I've had the AC130MKII for a couple of years and finally got around to trying to do something with it, so I started working on a ported, 2-way system for my youngest sister's 30th B-Day next year. She has a small apartment with a 13' x 9' living room so a small tower would fit her needs nicely.
I've got the AC130MKII in a 14L test box (7" x 9.5" x 24") tuned to 50Hz for an F3 of 52Hz, teamed up with the Morel CAT408 1-1/8" dome tweeter and crossed over at 2.3kHz. The x-overs are 3d-order electrical with a good measure of eq to smooth out the bumpy response of these two drivers. There's still a bump at 800Hz which was helped by adding stuffing to the cabinet and lots of room/floor bounce ripples at low frequencies which go away when I take a nearfiled measurement.
The sound is very clear and natural for vocals, the bass is firm but slightly mild and the trebble is a touch on the bright side, which I hope to tone down a notch once the cloth grill is added.
Has anyone else used either of these two drivers? I'd be interested in seeing what kind of in-box frequency response you measured and what you used for the x-over for either driver if you're willing to share.
Any other suggestions are wellcome.

Check Out Amanda Bynes' Post-Rehab Style
Monday, December 9, 2013
Amanda Bynes is out of rehab! Last week, the troubled star left the Malibu rehabilitation center where she was being treated for mental illness. Before her lengthy stint in a rehab, Bynes wore some wild ensembles and unruly wigs. However, now that the Sydney White star is out and seemingly doing well—she's been wearing some much more understated ensembles. The majority of Bynes' post-rehab ensembles seem to be slim jeans, tennis shoes and sweatshirts.
Our photogs have caught the actress on a plethora of dog walks, both with her family and alone. It seems like she is trying to keep her sanity by spending quality time with her family and laying low—sounds like a good plan to us!
On Thursday, cameras first caught the post-rehabbed actress. She was out in Thousand Oaks, Calif., walking her dogs in the same jeans and shoes that she has been wearing for the past few days. The former All That actress went incognito and kept warm in a Gang$ta sweatshirt and baseball cap.
On Saturday, Bynes got some fresh air with the pups. The former child star donned a "Twerk Team" hat and a baby blue Captain America sweatshirt. Apparently even in rehab, Bynes couldn't avoid the twerking craze.
On Friday, the former Nickelodeon star went for a walk with her dogs and wore a black sweater, a quilted leather jacket, black sneakers and skinny jeans. She pulled back her new dark 'do into a pony tail.
Glad to see she is doing well!
Gwyneth Paltrow And Michael Kors Team Up For Pricey Holiday Collection
Friday, December 6, 2013
Gwyneth Paltrow's life is better than yours. Just ask her. Therefore, Gwyneth Paltrow's holiday gifts are going to be better than your holiday gifts—unless you buy her Gwynnie-approved holiday gifts this year. The Oscar winner is teaming up with American sportswear designer Michael Kors for a one-off holiday collection, available on the wannabe Brit's website, Goop, which if you had a website, it would be way better than.
Apparently, the range was inspired by Paltrow's favorite Kors' items as well as actress' personal wardrobe. So Gwyneth's inspiration is—herself!
The line includes a gray cashmere cape ($2595), which has amazingly sold out, a peplum gray sweater ($950), a black cashmere sweater ($475), a tan tote ($995), a gold watch ($275) and black smoking slippers ($275).
The willowy blonde gushed about the designer, with whom she has been friends with for over 20 years, "Michael's clothes are gorgeous, staple, American classics that never go out of style."
"I thought it would be wonderful to reinvent some of my favorite vintage Michael Kors looks that I have kept for years, that I wear over and over."

Beyonce Wears $5K Fox-Trimmed Fur Coat During 22-Day Vegan Cleanse
Friday, December 6, 2013
Beyonce may be eating vegan but she is definitely not wearing vegan! Three days into their 22-day vegan diet Beyonce was spotted eating at health food eatery in Los Angeles wearing a Christopher Kane wool-blend parka with real fox fur collar (originally $5,055). Really Bey—who thought that was a good idea?! We think wearing fur (unless it's vintage) is just tacky—but wearing it just days after publicly announcing that you and your hubby are doing a 22-day vegan, plant-based cleanse—well that's just super tacky!
The pop star also paired her lace-up calf leather ankle boot by Alaia ($1665)—that's right calf-skin!
The power couple seems to serious about keeping vegan during their cleanse—they started their plant-based spree at Real Food Daily in West Hollywood on Tuesday, went to Cafe Gratitude on Wednesday and then we spotted them at Native Foods on Thursday—but we wish they would lay off wearing all the dead animals during their health stint.

Diane Kruger Is A Caped Crusader At LAX
Thursday, December 5, 2013
Following a trip to Mexico, Diane Kruger is jet setting yet again and this time the Inglorious Basterds star is off to Paris. For the international flight, the 37-year-old wore skinny charcoal jeans, a heather gray sweater, Isabel Marant sneakers and a statement-making textured cape. The German beauty looks so European—we love it!
We kind of think a cape is the perfect piece for a high-flying trip! She capped the cape look with brown accessories, a wide-brimmed Indiana Jones-style hat and a classic Louis Vuitton bag.
Diane has had quite the busy 2013. The actress appeared in the films Me, Myself and Mum, The Host, as well as her FX series. Next up on her docket is the film The Better Angels, which centers around Abraham Lincoln's childhood. In the movie, Joshua Jackson's main squeeze stars as Lincoln's stepmother.

The use of single layer and double layer microphone arrays, both hand-held as well as robot operated, has been greatly extended within the last decade. This paper summarizes how a small double layer array with typically 128 microphones can be used for interior cabin measurements for mapping various acoustical properties. There are four major applications. The first one is general patch holography (or conformal mapping) of basic acoustical quantities like sound pressure, particle velocity and sound intensity. Optionally sound quality (SQ) metrics for describing human annoyance like loudness, sharpness, fluctuation strength and roughness, etc. can also be mapped. Other applications are in-situ absorption measurement - for example inside a car cabin, intensity component analysis (e.g. incident, reflected, scattered, net intensity, etc. can be separated) and finally sound pressure contribution from various panels inside cabins to an operator/driver's position. Some measurements are done in operational condition and some are reference laboratory measurement of typical frequency response functions.
A measurement technique is described for the localization and visualization of noise sources on moving rail vehicles using beamforming. The Delay-And-Sum (DAS) beamforming is often used on stationary (fixed) sources. However, the method can also be applied to moving sources such as rail vehicles, road vehicles and aircraft fly-overs, as well as rotating blades on wind turbines. Recently, deconvolution techniques have been introduced as post-processing after DAS to improve spatial resolution and reduce the level of ghost sources in the calculated noise maps. This paper describes a commercially available system which includes DAS and deconvolution techniques, dedicated to the rail vehicle industry. Special consideration is paid to the configuration of the test site and its influence on the measurement results. The advantages of various microphone array designs for measurements on bogies, rails and pantographs are discussed. Guidelines are given for a selection of appropriate array (half-wheel, logarithmic wheel) for the source of interest and illustrated with practical results from noise emission measurements on regional trains.
The paper describes a commercially available fly-over beamforming system based on methodologies already published, but using an array that was designed for quick and precise deployment on a concrete runway rather than for minimum sidelobe level. Time domain tracking Delay And Sum (DAS) beamforming is the first processing step, followed by Deconvolution in the frequency domain to reduce sidelobes, enhance resolution, and get absolute scaling of the source maps. The system has been used for a series of fly-over measurements on a Business Jet type MU300 from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Results from a couple of these measurements are presented: Contribution spectra from selected areas on the aircraft to the sound pressure level at the array are compared against the total sound pressure spectrum measured by the array. One major aim of the paper is to verify that the system performs well although the array was designed with quick deployment as a main criterion. The results are very encouraging. A second aim is to elaborate on the handling of the array shading function in connection with the calculation of the Point Spread Function (PSF) used in deconvolution. Recent publications have used a simple formula to compensate for Doppler effects for the case of flat broadband spectra. A more correct formula is derived in the present paper, covering also a Doppler correction to be made in the shading function, when that function is used in the PSF calculation.
The number of noise source identification (NSI) techniques available to engineers working on noise, vibration and harshness problems has increased considerably in recent years. The choice of the most appropriate technique depends upon the application and the information required. This paper reviews techniques for noise source identification and quantification ranging from simple hand-held sound intensity systems, hand-held array systems to large ground based microphone arrays. The methods include Beamforming, Spherical Beamforming and Acoustic Holography. Guidelines are given to help the engineer choose a suitable technique based on the frequency range of interest, the distance from the measurement array to the test object and the resolution required. Practical application examples ranging from hearing aids to wind turbines are presented to illustrate the various NSI techniques.
Noise from large construction projects can be a nuisance for nearby communities. Vibration from activities like pile driving, concrete crushing and tunneling can also create nuisance but may also risk structural damage. Increasingly, both noise and vibration are significant factors surrounding a construction project. If not managed properly they can lead to project delays, further prolonging the nuisance and significantly increasing project cost. To help mitigate these risks, contractors are now using continuous noise and vibration monitoring to ensure that the impact from construction activity is kept within guidelines.This paper looks at how continuous real time monitoring of noise and vibration can be used to help manage community impact and reduce the risk of structural damage. It will look at legislation and best practice both in Canada and in other parts of the world. Presenting the concept of environmental capacity it also shows how engaging communities, setting expectations and building trust can be effective way of mitigating impact.The paper goes on to highlight new technology that is in use in Canadian construction sites which uses the approaches discussed above to help manage compliance and reduce risk.
Since its first mention in 1999, Integrated Environment Noise Management has promised new possibilities for managing environment noise through the interaction between measurements and calculations. This has lead to the technique of Dynamic Noise Mapping, where measurements are used to update calculated noise maps, which was primarily intended to improve local noise maps and supplement noise monitoring results. However, with the ever-increasing availability of internet communication and the rise of managed services which enable the efficient exploitation of new technology, integrating measurements and calculations for more pro-active environment noise management, where noise issues can be avoided, is becoming potentially interesting and possible. So, the link between calculation software and real-time noise monitoring solutions enables the automated creation of noise maps based on real-life noise and weather monitoring, giving feedback to enable a more optimal planning of operations within the noise limits. This dynamic mapping can be done with updates as regularly as every hour enabling industry to schedule operational activity, quickly assess the noise impact and ensure that they are doing the utmost whilst complying with noise limits. This paper describes how Dynamic Noise Mapping for Pro-Active Environment Noise Management works and its possibilities, challenges and limitations based on current knowledge and technology. The paper will also identify areas of future research.
The construction of infrastructure and new buildings risks causing significant impact on the neighbourhood, particularly for major infrastructure projects. Due to local community concerns, construction activities are often subject to operational restrictions. To effectively operate within these restrictions, instrumentation is often deployed to monitor noise and / or vibration. An alternative approach to the purchasing and operating costly equipment to monitor compliance is available through Managed Services offering technology innovation enabling simultaneous noise and vibration monitoring and manpower and cost reductions in monitoring resulting in a more economically attractive approach to traditional noise monitoring.
Long term monitoring of noise from airports, industrial facilities and construction projects has been well established over many years. The systems monitor noise levels at various points around the facility, feed the data back to a central system where data can be summarized and any breaches in compliance criteria are reported. These systems are passive by nature; they simply report what happened giving little opportunity to do anything to prevent breaches in the first place. Should breaches occur, attendance at the site is typically necessary to investigate before advice on mitigation can be given to prevent future breaches of compliance.
Technology advances in how data is captured, what data is captured and how it is accessed now means that in a large number of cases investigation can be achieved remotely without the need for site visits. This makes the process more efficient, lower cost, and much more immediate. Technology can now deliver results in real time that can help to prevent breaches occurring in the first place.
This paper outlines the technology advances and suggests how they will help to change the way noise consultants can deliver more monitoring services over a wider geographical area with fewer staff whilst simultaneously providing a better quality result.
The two microphone acoustic impedance tube is used to measure the acoustic impedance and absorption coefficient properties for absorptive materials. A commonly followed test method for this is described by the standard ASTM E1050. This test standard is popular compared to alternative test methods due to its repeatability, speed of test and small sample size requirements. The two microphone broadband noise source based test method was introduced in 1985 and was an update to the single microphone sinusoidal excitation method given by ASTM C384. The ASTM E1050 standard was updated in 1998 to include changes in the required physical dimensions of the tube. Specifically, the tube length was said to be increased to be sufficiently long to meet the requirement that plane waves be fully developed before reaching the microphones and test specimen. Further, a minimum of three tube diameters was specified between the sound source and the nearest microphone to allow for sufficient distance for the subsiding of any non-plane waves propagating within the tube. Using two different tube lengths meeting the requirements of the two versions of the standard, this study investigated experimentally whether any differences resulted in the measured normal incidence absorption for multiple test samples as a result of the prescribed dimensional changes. The precision of the measured results are compared using the repeatability and reproducibility requirements defined in Table 2 of the E1050 standard.
Two mounts were added to a helicopter making it possible to carry different payloads. To validate the structural effects of these modifications, modal tests were performed on-ground on the helicopter in its standard configuration as well as in its modified configuration with the added payloads. In addition, an in-flight test was performed to verify the impact on the existing flight envelope. For all tests, Operational Modal Analysis was used. The obtained results allowed for updating the flight procedures and operating profiles for the helicopter and provided added flexibility with respect to the best possible helicopter configuration to obtain the mission objectives, while maintaining optimum safety for the flight crew.
In this work, the noise sources on three types of construction equipment are imaged with a beamforming array, while simultaneously the radiated sound powers are determined by a sixmicrophone hemisphere per ISO 6393 or ISO 6395. Of particular interest are: noise induced by turbulent flow at the exit of an exhaust stack, the effect of a noise reduction package in the engine compartment, and crawler track noise during motion. The absolute levels of the mapped source regions are compared with the total radiated sound power.
Over the last 10 years, the use of Sound Quality (SQ) has become an accepted automotive industry standard.This "newer" field of acoustics has proven to be quite useful in many areas, such as; new product design, quantifying subjective opinions on products with objective metrics, troubleshooting current models, and acoustic modeling of products. This paper will cover the basics in sound quality and apply some of these fundamental concepts in a few examples of the use of sound quality in a practical engineering environment.
A new ASTM standard has been adopted for characterizing acoustical materials in a tube. This new standard is ASTM E2611-09, Measurement of Normal Incidence Sound Transmission of Materials Based on the Transfer Matrix Method. This test method describes the use of a tube, four microphones, and a digital frequency analysis system for the measurement of normal incidence transmission loss and other important acoustical properties of materials by determination of the sample's acoustic transfer matrix. In this paper the two and four microphone methods for calculating the reflection coefficient and the related normal incidence sound absorption coefficient will be compared with each other and with the results predicted using finite element software.
In a former paper ("Second Order Blind Identification (SOBI) and its relation to Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) algorithm", 28th IMAC, 2010), the authors established the link between the popular SSI algorithm used in output-only modal analysis and the Second Order Blind Identification (SOBI) algorithm developed for blind source separation in the field of signal processing. It was concluded that the two algorithms, although seemingly very different, are actually jointly diagonalizing the same covariance matrix over a range of time-lags. This is explicit in SOBI and implicit in SSI. One main difference, however, is that SOBI focuses on estimating the (real) modal matrix as a joint diagonalizer, but without taking advantage of the specific structure of the covariance matrix formed by the Markov coefficients and by incorrectly assuming no-damping or very low damping. On the other hand, SSI specifically exploits the covariance matrix structure so as to estimate complex modes, but puts less emphasis on the "joint diagonalizing" property of the modal matrix. The aim of this communication is to introduce a new algorithm based on Alternating Least Squares (ALS) approach that combines advantages of both SOBI and SSI in order to return improved estimates of modal parameters. It is shown in this work that this algorithm is capable of identifying complex modes, closely spaced modes and heavily damped and can also be expanded to deal with the cases where there are less number of sensors available than the number modes to be estimated. The suggested approach therefore is a step towards expanding the applicability of BSS based approaches to Operational Modal Analysis applications.
The authors previously presented an extension of operational modal analysis to linear time periodic systems. This paper builds on that work, revealing how more advanced operational modal analysis methods can be extended to linear time-periodic systems. These extensions are found to provide more accurate estimates of the damping of the modes of the time-periodic systems, and to provide good estimates of the mode shapes of the systems so long as the measurements stand out clearly above the noise. Application of the complex mode indicator function an the EMIF algorithm makes it possible to separate the forward and backward whirling modes of a wind turbine, which is difficult since each of these modes is manifest at several harmonics due to the anisotropy in the tower supporting the turbine.
Work presented in the current paper in an extension of the pervious work and describes the details of the measurement campaign aimed at identifying modal parameters of ALSTOM's ECO 100 wind turbine. Since measuring on an operational wind turbine is a challenging job in itself, the paper also describes measurement planning and execution phases. The paper illustrates various key aspects related to practical measurements on an actual wind turbine and underlines the importance of proper planning and experiment design. The importance of a priori nowledge provided by finite element model based simulations is also underlined.
The influence of different sound fields on the measurement error is discussed in some detail with practical examples and it is shown how a worst-case error exceeding 10 dB @ 20 kHz is a real risk. After a brief discussion of a condenser microphone which drastically reduces the error caused by influence of an unknown sound field or varying angle of incidence. Finally, test results from production samples of the new microphone are shown.
Aerodynamic noise is particularly important for passenger car driving comfort and high speed train community comfort. This paper describes the application of acoustic array systems in wind tunnels to minimise this noise exposure.
The study demonstrates the method using simulated vibrational responses of operational 3MW wind turbine. The responses of the tower and blades were obtained from the simulation of operational wind turbine dynamics under realistic wind load using commercial aeroelastic code.
The study suggests a novel approach which is intended to solve a known TMM weakness due to noncausality of transmissibility functions. The study compares the results obtained using the new approach with two other implementations found in the literature.
The paper is organized as follows: the first section explains the application of the transmissibility matrix method to TPA; next section compares different interpretations of the indicator signals. Section 3 introduces a simple mechanical system and discusses results obtained by different implementations of TMM.
Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is one of the branches of experimental modal analysis which allows extracting modal parameters based on measuring only the responses of a structure under ambient or operational excitation which is not needed to be measured. The present study shows that the aeroelastic phenomena due to rotor rotation dramatically changes the character of aerodynamic excitation and sets limitations on the applicability of OMA to operational wind turbines. The main purpose of the study is to warn the experimentalists about these limitations and discuss possible ways of dealing with them.
The paper gives a brief introduction into the theory of ONPA and highlights the main assumptions the method is based on. Focusing on structure borne noise paths, the study demonstrates that, interpreting the measured signals in special way, the true noise contributions can be obtained. Then the approach is being extended to systems with rotational DOFs and demonstrated on a simple mechanical system.
The current study continues investigation of the method accuracy and applicability for structure borne cases. The method is applied to simulated data, which makes the validation against exact results possible. A way to improve method accuracy is suggested. The results of the improved method are compared with traditional methods results.
Traditionally, the design of control algorithms for wind turbines is performed based on (linearized) models of the wind turbine dynamics. Control performance is strongly dependent on the accuracy of these models and for this reason validation of the dynamics is essential for achieving optimal control. The aim of this work is to identify, at different wind speeds, the dynamic model of a wind turbine in operation by means of two different system identification techniques. This work has been partly performed within the SenternNovem long-term research project "SusCon: a new approach to control wind turbines" (EOSLT02013) and partly within the InVent project-ACC1Ó (CIDEM | COPCA).
The goal of this paper is to address these issues in order to make OMA more applicable and suitable for wind turbines. The paper first shows the application of OMA to a parked turbine and then subsequently shows its application to operational wind turbine. It is demonstrated how incorporating techniques like Coleman transformation and proper test planning, OMA can act as a viable tool for characterizing the dynamics of an operational wind turbine.
Time Selective Response, TSR, is a frequency response measurement method based on linearly swept sine signals. This paper briefly recollects the method and presents some experience with and guidelines for choosing measurement and weighting parameters and considerations on the associated uncertainty on the results. The results are discussed on the basis of practical measurements at Brüel & Kjær of microphone and sound level meter free field responses.
Practically all reference microphone calibrations that are performed by national metrology institutes are pressure response calibrations. This is the case even if most practical measurements are carried out under free- or diffuse-field conditions. This paper describes the technical aspects of the elaborate system, which has developed by the Danish Technical University (DTU) and is now offered by Brüel & Kjær with software and technical support from the university staff.
This paper describes the new LAN-XI concept combining several different technologies. With the introduction of the LAN-XI concept, a hitherto unseen combination of requirements can be fulfilled in the same data acquisition system thereby significantly increasing the versatility of the system and at the same time reducing the amount of measurement equipment and accessories needed.
This paper concems OMA on large 2-poJe rotating machinery. The analysis has been limited to the frequency range around 50 and 100 Hz. where unbalance and electromagnetic forces, respectively, can give high vibration amplimdes of the stator. Two methods have been used for the analysis: Curve-fitted Frequency Domain Decomposition (CFDD) and Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI). The methods are evaluated and the results are compared with results from a Classical Modal Analysis performed on the same machinery.
This paper describes the new LAN-XI concept combining several different technologies in-cluding Precision Time Protocol (PTP), Power over Ethernet (PoE), Dyn-X, REq-X and TEDS. With the introduction of the LAN-XI concept, a hitherto unseen combination of requirements can be fulfilled in the same data acquisition system thereby significantly increasing the versatil-ity of the system and at the same time reducing the amount of measurement equipment and ac-cessories needed.
This paper continues the evaluation of the feasibility of using a four-post road simulator to replicate operating conditions and perform response-only modal analysis on a truck frame. Work presented in this paper is continuation of a previous study that investigated the use of OMA methods for the same structure. Results obtained from the various tests are compared and validated with those from conventional EMA impact tests.
This paper explores the possibility of applying techniques (OMA and BSS/ICA) to wind turbines, and focuses in understanding only the aeroelastic effects, thus avoiding effect of rotational loads (and hence presence of harmonic components in excitation force). It is shown that these techniques work satisfactorily on parked turbine data, paving way to conduct further studies on more complex case of operational wind turbine.
In this paper two clustering based approaches are suggested for the purpose of automatic mode selection. These methods build upon the existing Stabilization Diagram tool; differing in the manner in which the stabilization diagram is constructed and clusters are being formed. Both approaches utilize a Euclidian distance based approach to automatically select the best estimate.
The current study continues investigation of the method based on the transmissibility matrix. It compares the results of air-borne contribution analysis obtained by the Transmissibility method with ones from the classical source substitution method; the experiments are conducted on a vehicle equipped with an Engine Noise Simulator.
In this paper several approaches and techniques have been used in order to extract the structural modes. A preliminary random hammer testing was applied in order to get some idea of the natural frequencies of the gearbox housing itself. In time domain the Stochastic Subspace Identification, SSI has been applied. In the calculations of the stabilization diagram based on SSI it is possible to set up user tolerances to identify unrealistic low damping, thus being able to separate harmonic components from the structural modes.
Durch Verwendung der TEDS-, Dyn-X- und REq-XTechnologie können Messaufgaben in der Schall- und Schwingungsmesstechnik schneller, komfortabler und sicherer ausgeführt werden. Mit der Dyn-X Technologie können Fehler wie Übersteuerungen oder die Wahl des falschen Messbereichs vermieden werden; es wird immer im richtigen Messbereich gemessen. Durch die REq-X Technologie werden die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten bereits vorhandener Sensoren erweitert, die Messgenauigkeit erhöht und der nutzbare Frequenzbereich der Sensoren ausgedehnt.
The present paper is based on work done in the European project CREDO, which deals with noise in aircraft and helicopter cabins. The focus is therefore on radiated and absorbed intensity components on cabin panels.
Brüel & Kjær has implemented the methodology of ISO 1996-2 in relation to assessing the audibility of prominent discrete tones in environmental noise into its innovative 2250 and 2270 hand-held analysers. This paper describes the implementation in hand-held instrumentation.
This paper presents a comparison of three PClVIs: GCV, L-C, and Normalized Cumulative Periodogram (NCP). The methods are used in connection with three NAH methods. All combinations of PClVIs and NAH methods are investigated using simulations with different types of noise, and comparisons are also carried out for a practical experiment. The aim of this work is to create a better understanding of which mechanisms affect the performance of the different PClVIs.
