It depends on what you consider a gimmick in the anime. I was merely expressing my disappointment with things that are hyped months before they happen in the anime to shamelessly increase ratings, which has become a problem recently. Some of the things that you listed like Swinub's evolution and Ursula with Minun and Plusle happened without much fanfare, so I don't count them as gimmicks. I'm not arguing against all forms of promotion, just those that are done to make up for the fact that BW's ratings have been free falling for about two years now.
The ratings for BW are perfectly fine, the show's ratings have been on a steady decline since it began back in OS, no succeeding saga's ratings have been better than the one before it. This isn't exclusive to Pokemon, every show in Japan's ratings are slowly but surely dropping due to a combination of less people watching TV and less childbirth in Japan overall. The producers of Pokemon don't care about ratings, they do care about merchandising because that's where their priorities and money lie mainly. Mewtwo and Charizard were not brought back with the intentions of increasing ratings, this show could have pitiful ratings and it would still continue on if the merchandise sold heavily. Dragon Ball Kai in Japan got massive ratings but the show got canned after 100 episodes due to no one actually buying the merchandise. I'm almost 100% Charizard and Mewtwo were not brought back for ratings, more so because said Pokemon are popular Gen 1 Pokemon that the producers can cash on due to the innumerable amounts of stuff they could produce en masse, market and sell. The same could be said of Genesect, Dragonite, Oshawott, Snivy, Pikachu, Emolga, and just about every other Pokemon on the main cast. At the end of the day ratings have nothing to do with any of this which is why I think it's very odd people keep citing ratings as a motive for the recent happenings in BW. Swinub's speedy evolution and Ursula's Hoenn mouse duo were most certainly done for advertising but since this thread seems to think that "gimmick" is synonymous with "advertisement" I just decided to point that out.

Yeah Ratings are a bit tough to judge now compared to before. In the 90s-early 2000's everyone watched tv. But as technology has increased, there's even people who don't even watch tv anymore.
It's really interesting when you realize how the simplest things can be so different after a decade or so

Actually, I check ratings weekly for new episodes of Pokemon and various other anime. The ratings are perfectly fine and even then the ratings only account for certain age groups of peoples, specifically children to see if they're watching. The increments are, iirc, 2-11, 6-11, 9-14, and that's that really. Anyone else that's watching really doesn't mean much of anything for ratings since advertisers only buy air time for shows that are being watched prominently by children for Pokemon to advertise their latest kiddie toy or childish new thing.

Although I do see a bit of a difference in how they market certain Pokémon now. The way Piplup and Oshawott get shoved in our faces. I can't think of any Pokémon like that before DP. One could argue Psyduck, but even then it's in a different league than those two. Maybe Togepi, but it didn't have as much focus
Although Axew is a bit close to it too, it didn't seem that way at first. It seemed more like Torchic than Togepi. But the writers made
it as popular as it is, like Oshawott

I think there's more to it than just that. I mean just from memory I remember seeing that list of ratings and almost as soon as I skimmed through the BW section I saw how much lower they were than the ones from DP, and I'm talking about a steep decline, not just that the ratings were low because the anime has been losing viewers since its peak in OS. I remember pointing out that the Tepig evolution episode had the lowest ratings that the anime has ever received (2.2 I think, but I can't be sure). Sure, people pointed out that the episode aired during Golden Week, but even for a GW episode, the ratings were still really bad. And I remember looking at the ratings for the episodes before and after it, and they were also pretty low. My point is that while the anime has obviously lost steam over the last decade, the ratings for BW have still been below average.
Also, I don't buy the "ratings have been declining because people watch less television" thing. I think for kids it's much easier to just watch the anime on television than say, going online and watching it there. And as people keep pointing out, kids are the main audience. So I really think the ratings have been falling for other reasons.
Ash's Pikachu. The first Pokémon of the mainest of the main characters. The Pokémon franchise's mascot. That's very different
Ciccone, it's obvious that less people watch tv. Kids have a whole bunch of different gadgets than what they used to. They and even older people find themselves engrossed in those instead of flipping through channels. That's how it is now
Another point. Back when Pokémon was on Kids' WB, they'd show an hour of each Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! a day. Now Pokémon only airs in the morning for half an hour and it has a FREE iOS app with the possibility to watch every episode(when they're available). That is how different it is now. A lot of people don't even care about premieres...they'll see the rerun or watch on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu

It's different because Pikachus a first, but they still marketed it the same way as Osha and Penguin. Theres always a clear cut on which poke is a money magnet, and which isn't. Piplup is a money magnet. Remember, the target aren't Foreign Teenagers/Adults, rather Japanese kids. So something you hate might be loved by the Japanese kids to death. Therefore, it's an 'all-clear' signal for writers to spam Piplup.
Osha should've gone to Iris or Cilan so Ash can actually give sme other mon SCREENTIME.

GW episodes usually do poorly.
Yes, as you pointed out kids are the one's that are taken into account for ratings and they wouldn't stop watching the show because Dawn left or Trip was an uninteresting rival. Regarding your other thoughts about not buying the notion less people are watching actual TV I pretty much pointed everything previously out with facts and I'm not sure what more to say other than that's the truth, in fact 50% of Japan's population today doesn't even have cable. The show, like almost all Japanese television, is losing steam over time. That doesn't mean it's doing poorly because the merchandise is the main mission in life for Pokemon anyway. Also, regarding BW having lower ratings than DP. DP had lower ratings than AG. AG had lower ratings than OS. See how this works? A future saga is never gonna one-up a previous one in the ratings game department. Things like that just can't be helped.
So you're using this [groundless] notion that the majority of people have stopped watching television to defend the increasing use of gimmicks in the anime? It seems like you're at least agreeing with those of us who say that the BW saga has been utilizing gimmick after gimmick for the sake of ratings, unless I'm missing something.
But I just can't at some of the excuses that are being presented to defend the ratings issue. I mean what will people do when the ratings drop below 2.0? Continue blaming the anime's longevity? At some point the studio/network will have to make the decision to either cancel the anime or to continue using gimmicks, and if it's the latter then I pray for the future of the anime because as it stands I cannot tolerate all the self-indulgent promotion and advertising that the anime is being subjected to. It went from being a show with an actual story line and minimal merchandise promotion to being almost completely about products and little else. Imo, it's really sad how the anime has changed.
It's not groundless. It's based on personal experience and I'm sure many others can back up my claims. I also gave an example, the pennies/nickel/dimes thing. Also, Blockbuster is another great example. Just a few short years ago, EVERYONE went to Blockbuster to rent movies and even games. Now everyone has Netflix/On Demand/Youtube/Amazon/Hulu to watch things on and Blockbuster is pretty much out of business.
And what are a lot of those programs watched on? Smartphones, Tablets, Computers, and videogame systems

Well, that dissolved quickly. By page 4 you guys weren't even trying to stay on topic, not to mention the obvious baiting some of you were doing. I'm pretty ticked that people are laughing at people who are excited for the flashback, however long and insignificant it might be in the long run. How about stop being a bully? Well, you're getting an infraction for it, so maybe you'll cut the crap.

Grayson County
News PLATTING
LAND FOR SETTLERS "The arrangement we hoped to close was for October passage on the lines of steamers plying directly between Europe and Galveston. The yellow fever scare played sad havoc with that. The difficulties under which one labors when endeavoring to encourage German immigration are much greater than in generally supposed. Soliciting immigration is strictly forbidden, and all steamship lines desirous of advertising the facilities and convenience of their respective lines are forced to employ local counsel to avoid the danger of running afoul of the imperial statutes. After such advertisements are legally reviewed they are subjected to a close scrutiny by the perfect of the police into whose jurisdiction it is desired to send and distribute them. In consequence the very best sort of story of the wealth and resources of Texas and this section we could get before the people was a milk and water effort. However, the interest was awakened and I am quite sure that as a result, while it will be delayed some little time that Grayson county will secure from fifty to 100 thrifty German families at no distant date." The recent publications in The News of the efforts of Grayson county in this line have attracted a great deal of attention. Mr. Ehreet is in receipt of several letters calling his attention to large bodies of lands near San Antonio and in southwest Texas. The News correspondent here is also in receipt of letters from a number of sections of the state which are anxious to benefit by the example and energy of Sherman and Grayson County.

Yellow bittern

Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Aves |
Order: | Pelecaniformes |
Family: | Ardeidae |
Genus: | Ixobrychus |
Species: | I. sinensis |
Binomial name | |
Ixobrychus sinensis (Gmelin, 1789) |
The yellow bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) is a small bittern. It is of Old World origins, breeding in much of the Indian Subcontinent, east to Japan and Indonesia. It is mainly resident, but some northern birds migrate short distances. It has been recorded as a vagrant in Alaska and there is a single sighting in Britain, from Radipole Lake, Dorset on November 23, 1962 - however, the BOU have always considered this occurrence to be of uncertain provenance and currently it is not accepted onto the official British List.
This is a small species at 36 to 38 cm (14 to 15 in) in length, with a short neck and longish bill. The male is uniformly dull yellow above and buff below. The head and neck are chestnut, with a black crown.
The female's crown, neck and breast are streaked brown, and the juvenile is like the female but heavily streaked brown below, and mottled with buff above.
Their breeding habitat is reed beds. They nest on platforms of reeds in shrubs. Four to six eggs are laid. They can be difficult to see, given their skulking lifestyle and reed bed habitat, but tend to fly fairly frequently, when the striking contrast between the black flight feathers and the otherwise yellowish plumage makes them unmistakable.
Yellow bitterns feed on insects, fish and amphibians.
Protected status[edit]
The yellow bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.[1]

Common Raven range |
The Common Raven (Corvus corax), also known as the Northern Raven, is a large, all-black passerine bird. Found across the northern hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance— although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the Thick-billed Raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the Common Raven averages 63 cm (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kg (2.6 pounds). Common Ravens typically live about 10 to 15 years in the wild, although lifespans of up to 40 years have been recorded. Young birds may travel in flocks, but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
The Common Raven has coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas has been so numerous that it is considered a pest. Part of its success comes from its omnivorous diet; Common Ravens are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, and food waste.
Some remarkable feats of problem-solving have been observed in the species, leading to the belief that it is highly intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many indigenous cultures, including those of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the Common Raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or god.[2]
[show]Other namesEdit
While some authorities recognized as many as 11 subspecies,[3] others only recognize eight:[4]
- C. c. corax (the nominate subspecies) occurs from Europe eastwards to Lake Baikal, south to the Caucasus region and northern Iran. It has a relatively short, arched bill. The population in south-western Europe (including the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia) has an even more arched bill and shorter wings than "typical" nominate, leading some authorities to recognize it as a separate subspecies, C. c. hispanus.[3]
- C. c. varius occurs in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. It is less glossy than C. c. principalis or nominate corax, is intermediate in size, and the bases of its neck feathers are whitish (not visible at a distance). An extinct color morph found only on the Faroes is known as Pied Raven
- C. c. subcorax occurs from Greece eastwards to north-west India, Central Asia and western China though not the Himalayan region. It is larger than the nominate form, but has relatively short throat feathers (hackles). Its plumage is generally all black, though its neck and breast have a brownish tone similar to that of the Brown-necked Raven; this more evident when the plumage is worn. The bases of its neck feathers, although somewhat variable in colour, are often almost whitish. (The name C. c. laurencei is sometimes used instead of C. c. subcorax.[3] It is based on the population from Sindh described by Hume in 1873[5] and is sometimes preferred since the type specimen of subcorax collected by Nikolai Severtzov is possibly a Brown-necked Raven[6])
- C. c. tingitanus occurs in North Africa and the Canary Islands. It is the smallest subspecies, with the shortest throat hackles and a distinctly oily plumage gloss. Its bill is short but markedly stout, and the culmen is strongly arched. Canary Ravens are browner than the North African Ravens, leading some authorities to treat them as separate subspecies, with the latter maintaining the name C. c. tingitanus and the former known as C. c. canariensis.[3]
- C. c. tibetanus occurs in the Himalayas. It is the largest and glossiest subspecies, with the longest throat hackles. Its bill is large but less imposing than that of C. c. principalis, and the bases of its neck feathers are grey.
- C. c. kamtschaticus occurs in north-eastern Asia, intergrading into the nominate subspecies in the Baikal region. It is intermediate in size between C. c. principalis and C. c. corax and has a distinctly larger and thicker bill than does the nominate race.
- C. c. principalis occurs in northern North America and Greenland. It has a large body and the largest bill, its plumage is strongly glossed, and its throat hackles are well developed.
- C. c. sinuatus, the Western Raven, occurs in south-central USA and Central America. It is smaller, with a smaller and narrower bill than C. c. principalis. Populations in far south-western USA and north-western Mexico (including the Revillagigedo Islands) are the smallest in North America. They are sometimes included in C. c. sinuatus, while other authorities recognize them as a distinct subspecies, C. c. clarionensis.[3]
Similar speciesEdit
The closest relatives of the Common Raven are the Brown-necked Raven (C. ruficollis) and the Pied Crow (C. albus) of Africa, and the Chihuahuan Raven (C. cryptoleucus) of the North American southwest.[7]

Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst
Question from mcffan
How do I solve 3 basement door puzzles?
Help, I'm stuck. Do I get to cottage on cliff first or fix well or basement doors first. Can't go any further.
6 years ago
I think you want to solve the basement door puzzles first. When you solve the riddle of the middle door, you will encounter other puzzles which will yield the three marbles needed to solve the problem of the left door, (I think). I have the marbles, but I haven't attacked that left door, yet. Someone else suggested that the well is one of the last problems to solve.
5 years ago
I solved the puzzle of the left door, and, while exploring what's beyond it, I found some typewriter keys. I suspect I'll have to find all the missing typewriter keys in order to solve the puzzle of the door on the right.

Please stop killing Age Of Empires and trying to improve upon it. You had a winning strategy with AOE I and AOE II and then you started trying to improve it in the third. AOE III Still good strategy game but it no longer felt like Age of Empires and I feel this will do the same. If you really wanted it to take off you should have done AOE I again like AOE I was in 1997.
AoE II Age of Kings was the best of the series. Here's some screenshots and a trailer for the new version: http://www.altplusf4.com/index.php/201008173255/PC-News/microsoft-and-old-ensemble-team-launching-age-of-empires-online-for-free.html
I'd pay a king's ransom to have the original Age of Empires refreshed with newer graphics and AI - nothing more. That game was spectacular and doesn't need to be watered down with other "improvements".
This AOE Online intrigues me but it seems cartoony and gimmicky. Don't wreck the franchise!

Calculate the angle at which a road should be banked for a design speed of 43 km/h and a radius of .0075 km. Givens : radius: .075km = 75m Vt(maybe?): 43 km/h = 11.944m/s Unknown: angle Im not shure about what equations to go about solving this for i know in the end im probly going to have to cancil out mass's because that isn't given to you.. If anyone can help me it would be soooo nice! :yuck:
What i attempted to do so far was Fc=(mvt^2)/r i think i know what the diargram should look like, im unshure on how to solve for the componits that make up the diargram tho such as Fnx, and Fny, if there was some way i could figure out the compents for Fn then i could figure out how to solve for the angle using trig functions
How do u get Ok, in my physics homework i know the equation that i have to use is tan(θ) = v2/rg but i dont know how you get to that, if there is some way to find out, that would be sweet for your assistance. I know that v2/r is equail to the centripital acceleration but ya im not shure the base equations that would be used, If you can help that would be great thanks.

The website wants $1 shipping per book; I quit getting these books because of BS in their offers and shipping - once I paid a king's ransom for them to ship next day to a motel in travel; they acknowledged their error in sending to the wrong address and I never did get the book, but refused to adjust the cost or shipping; also because the books at one time largely contained 2-for-1 offers but in recent years tended toward 'Get 99 cents off your $19.95+ lunch!' and 'buy 5 tires and get a sixth for half price!' - HOWEVER, for those who like music on hold a whole lot, they will eventually offer free shipping if you phone in and discuss their offer with them, and how you felt about their offer, and how it compared with your recollections of childhood, etc etc

Guest Post: The mobile screen revolution
by Seth MacIntosh, a tech blogger & big poker fan
Revolution may seem like a strong word to use when describing the impact that mobile screens have had on the world, but when you look at how much computing has changed, it starts to make sense. Even our idea of what constitutes a computer has been irreversibly altered and we're moving forward in a way that few could have predicted just a few short years ago. With the new face of mobile screens and the infinite universe of apps tailored to every possible interest, we're in a brave new era where usability, responsiveness, and mobility go hand in hand (pun intended) with computing.

Apple's NFC supplier NXP to merge with Freescale
Ex-Philips firm to combine with ex-Motorola one
Probably best known in the mobile industry as the provider of NFC chips for Apple's first Near Field Communication handset – the iPhone 6, NXP Semiconductors is set to merge with another chip specialist. The target is Freescale which is a former division of former mobile giant – Motorola. NXP itself was once part of the Dutch Philips Group. The driver behind this particular move? GoMo News thinks it is almost certainly related to the growing buzz around the Internet of Things [IoT] – formerly known as M2M [Machine-to-Machine] communications. NXP's merger with Freescale creates a group which has a market capitalisation of roughly $40 billion. Continue reading
Samsung's handset division loses its shine
Launches handsets aimed directly at Indian market, though
Fir the first time since 2011, Samsung Electronics has announced an annual profit decline. And the clear culprit was Samsung's handset division which could even be overtaken by its semiconductor division. In an admission that the Korean World Number One handset maker knows where the key battleground is, the company launched a number of handsets – including the A3 and A5, last week specifically aimed at India. Those are mid-range and entry phones whereas Samsung's next flagship smartphone – obviously to be called the Galaxy S6, should make an appearance within the next few months? probably at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona we would guess.

Xiaomi's Lei Jun should be compared to Gates not Jobs
If you have to compare someone to a famous North American, that is
Recently [January 3rd 2015] there was a very interesting profile in the Financial Times [FT] entitled, 'Lei Jun, China's smartphone billionaire … The man behind the world's most valuable start-up". That's a reference to the fact that his company has just been valued at $45 billion [£29.3 billion]. The FT mentions the fact that Lei Jun dislikes comparisons between himself and Steve Jobs of Apple fame – something which GoMo News highlighted back in December 2013 here. When we reported that WPP's Sir Martin Sorrell made Lei Jun his hot tip. So as the comparison keeps being made, we reckon that Lei should be compared to Bill Gates rather than Steve Jobs.

Actually BT goes for EE as its MNO
UK Teleco picks UK's largest 4G operator rather than old mobile arm
In something of a turn up for the books, former UK entrenched Teleco, BT, has announced plans to acquire EE – the UK MNO [Mobile Network Operator] for £12.5 billion. The deal will be partly funded by a share swap but BT will have to raise around £7.3 billion in cash. France Telecom/Orange will take a four per cent stake in BT, and Deutsche Telekom will take a 12 per cent stake. The irony here is that UK comms regulator, Ofcom, originally handed a massive lead in 4G to a Franco-German owned MNO (EE) but it has now been acquired by a UK firm. EE still has a massive lead in 4G customer acquisition. Most observers ( Including GoMo News) thought that BT would opt for rival UK MNO, O2, instead. Continue reading
CSR could still be hopeful of bid from Apple

As GoMo News previously reported here, CSR rejected Microchip's initial approach as too low. NSB's analysts have suggested the value of the CSR could be as high as $2.7 billion. We still believe that Apple might come forward with its own bid because CSR's chips form a critical part of certain of its products. Continue reading
GoMo mourns loss of our journalist – Dave Evans
Far more than just a good financial news hound
It's with great sadness that the team here at GoMo News has to announce the loss of our financial correspondent – Dave Evans. He finally lost a long battle with cancer on Saturday 13th September [2014]. For this publication, Dave has served us as a long established commentator on both the IT and cellular industries. His current focus was on share price trends within the mobile/cellular sector. However, Dave was far more than just a good financial news hound. he was a skilled writer and displayed an excellent sense of humour as witnessed by the first story Dave wrote for us 'What The Butler Saw'. Dave's keen eye for a story and speed of copy delivery will be sorely missed here at GoMo News. Continue reading
Careless picking led to iCloud security breaches Apple says
All the more reason for single sign-on (SSO) access
Careless whispering usually leads to celebrity downfalls but in the recent case of hacked pics [photos] from Apple's iCloud cloud storage system, it was careless picking. "None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple's systems including iCloud or Find my iPhone," Apple said in a statement. Apple says it discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions. Which is apparently a common practice on the internet. So celebs had been picking easy to guess passwords. All the more reason to go for counter-measures like single sign-on (SSO) access, GoMo News argues. Continue reading
Apple could be pushed into bidding for CSR
Best known for its Bluetooth chips – products in Apple Beats headphones
The toast of the British high tech sector, microchip firm CSR (formerly known as Cambridge Silicon Radio) was recently at the receiving end of an takeover offer from US based rival Microchip Technology. Subsequently CSR said in an official statement, "The price proposed by Microchip has been rejected and the board is considering its options for the company." However, the move has signalled CSR's potential availability and led to speculation that another US based firm – potentially Apple could make a higher offer for the company. Interest in CSR is being fuelled by its latest move into the Internet of Things [IoT] sector. Continue reading
Vodafone continues its fourplay quest
Now it's the turn of the Greeks with Hellas Online
As a sign that the UK's leading MNO [Mobile Network Operator] still feels that the future lies in offering its customers a complete bundle, Vodafone has announced that its Greek subsidiary has agreed to acquire a 72.7 per cent stake in Hellas Online (HOL). It reckons that HOL – a leading provider of broadband and fixed-line telephony in Greece, has around 0.5 million customers. That represents a market share of approximately 11 per cent based on its own research. For that stake Vodafone is willing to pay the Intracom Group and World Equities Investments Holdings a total cash consideration of €72.7 million. This will help provide Vodafone Greece with the ability to offer the infamous four play to its customers. Continue reading
Google's acquisition of AI tech Jetpac sounds alarms
Better download the City Guides iOS app fast before it goes
The news leaked out from San Francisco based, Jetpac, was being acquired by Google way before the search giant confirmed the fact itself. JetPac is an artificial intelligence (AI) firm specialising in deep learning technology. To date, the company has been know for the three apps it offers Apple iOS users via the iTunes app store. The chief of these is City Guides. You'd better download it fast because Jetpac announced on its own web site that it is going to pull the app shortly and stop actively supporting it from September 15th [2014]. That's one reason to panic. The other concerns Jetpac's ability to spy on your photos. Continue reading
Industry reaction to Flurry acquisition by Yahoo!
Deal should enable Yahoo! to offer better ad placement
Although the deal was announced back on July 21st [2014] by Yahoo!, there's been a slow reaction and analysis to the acquisition of a mobile analytics specialist such as Flurry. The deal between and Yahoo and Flurry was reportedly worth over $200 million but subject to customary closing conditions. Having heard nothing to the contrary, GoMo News assumes the deal has gone ahead. Yahoo has, of course, been trying hard to diversify its revenue stream by focusing more on its mobile revenues. Flurry's technology should help Yahoo to grow its revenue from smartphone users. Continue reading
Sprint acquires Marcelo Claure as new CEO
Drops its bid for T-Mobile USA
The USA's third largest MNO [Mobile Network Operator], Sprint (formerly Sprint Nextel) has reportedly dropped its bid for T-Mobile USA in the face of mounting regulatory resistance. T-Mobile USA is, of course, owned by Germany's Deutsche Telekom whilst Sprint is owned by Japan's SoftBank. This move followed swiftly after the news that
fourth largest US MNO, T-Mobile USA, had rejected a $15.5 billion (£9.2 billion) takeover bid from a French conglomerate – Iliad. The offer was apparently too low. Continue reading

United States Patent: 6536365 ( 1 of 1 ) United States Patent 6,536,365 Horton March 25, 2003 Shock-mitigating nose for underwater vehicles Abstract A flexible nose assembly for an underwater vehicle provides increased energy-absorbing capabilities and facilitates recovery and handling of the vehicle. The flexible nose assembly includes a flexible nose cap, at least one retrieval device, and at least one cable that is strong in tension, yet weak in compression which is coupled between the retrieval device and the UUV body. The flexible nose cap has a gap formed therein allowing the communication of environmental water into the region between the vehicle body and the nose cap. Optionally, the retrieval device may be recessed into the flexible nose assembly, thereby reducing hydrodynamic drag and overall vehicle length. Energy-absorbing ballast can be positioned within the nose cap in order to further enhance survivability. Inventors: Horton; Duane M.

Description CROSS REFERENCE TO OTHER PATENT APPLICATIONS Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to underwater vehicle noses, and more particularly, to an unmanned underwater vehicle nose having an improved ability to withstand high-shock conditions resulting from collisions. 2. Description of the Prior Art Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) perform a wide range of missions and come in many shapes and sizes, and generally consist of several sections, attached to one another by various means. Some UUVs have one or more flooded sections, inside of which oceanographic sensors and other hardware may be mounted. Owing to their size and complexity, UUVs must be handled, launched and recovered with great care. Typically, the UUV has one or more recovery fittings which allow it to be snagged and lifted onto a recovering vessel. The nose of the UUV is often the preferred location for such a recovery fitting because the nose is a low-flow area. UUVs are also susceptible to catastrophic loss upon collisions with objects. Since UUVs travel mostly in a forward direction, their noses are the most likely section to inadvertently strike a submerged object, such as a rock, ship, submarine, launch and recovery craft, buoy, or aquatic creature. Even low-speed collisions can cause a UUV's high-strength, yet often brittle, hull sections to crack or become misaligned, creating leak paths by which water can flood and sink the UUV. It is known to provide UUVs, such as torpedoes and other vehicles, with frangible nose caps. These nose caps are usually designed in a manner that allows them to break away upon impact with the water in order to expose sensors or other equipment contained within the nose caps to the outside environment. One problem with flexible nose caps is that they don't make any provision for recovering the UUV. A recovery fitting cannot be positioned on the flexible nose cap itself because the nose cap isn't strong enough to support lifting of the vehicle. What is needed, however, is a feature for a UUV that provides increased collision protection for the UUV but at the same time allows normal recovery of the UUV. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a UUV having improved survivability after collision. Another object of the present invention is to provide a UUV having a flexible nose cap that allows lifting by the nose cap. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a UUV having these features that is easy to construct and cost-effective to produce. Accordingly, the current invention provides an unmanned undersea vehicle having a flexible nose assembly. A flexible nose cap defines a hollow region therein and having a gap formed in the cap allowing fluid communication with environmental water. The flexible nose cap is joined to a bulkhead of the unmanned undersea vehicle body. At least one retrieval device is positioned on the flexible nose cap where it is accessible from the exterior of the flexible nose cap. A cable is attached between the retrieval device and the bulkhead. The invention can also include a recessed section in the nose cap having said retrieval device positioned therein. Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood in view of the following description of the invention taken together with the drawings wherein: The sole FIG. is a cutaway view of the flexible nose cap of the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A UUV with a flexible nose assembly 10 is shown in the FIG. as a UUV body 12 coupled to a flexible nose cap 14. The nose cap 14 defines a hollow region 18 between nose cap 14 and body 12. Nose cap 14 is mounted to a bulkhead 13 positioned at the forward end of body 12. Nose cap 14 can be attached to bulkhead 13 by bolts passing through the outer perimeter of nose cap 14 into bosses along the circumference of bulkhead 13. The nose cap 14 is constructed out of metal, plastics, synthetics, rubbers (such as, but not limited to, vulcanized rubber), composites, or any other material having sufficient structural rigidity to sustain the forces generated during normal use. When subjected to minor collisions such as launch forces, minor impacts and vehicle handling, the nose cap 14 should elastically deform and return to its original shape on removal of the collision force. In cases of major collision, the nose cap 14 should absorb energy by elastic and plastic deformation in order to protect body 12 from cracking or misalignment of adjoining sections because either of these conditions can result in leakage and subsequent catastrophic loss. The hollow region 18 is shown filled with water and is in fluid communication with the body of water via a slight gap 20. Gap 20 provides pressure equalization with the surrounding fluid environment. Hardware 21 can be positioned within hollow region 18. Hardware 21 can include ballast and/or instrumentation such as transducers and environmental sensors. Ballast, typically made from lead, can be configured in a cellular form to act as a shock-absorbing element. When a severe impact occurs to nose cap 14 and contact is made with hardware 21, ballast as a part of hardware 21 will deform and absorb energy from the impact. Hardware 21 should be mounted to bulkhead 13 in order to prevent damage or dislocation of hardware 21 during minor impacts. The flexible nose assembly 10 also contains at least one retrieval device 22 that may be positioned outside of the flexible nose cap 14. In a preferred embodiment, the retrieval device 22 is recessed into the flexible nose cap 14. The retrieval device 22 is secured to the bulkhead 13 via at least one cable 24. The cable 24 is designed to be strong in tension, yet weak in compression. This feature facilitates recovery and handling of the UUV, without decreasing the nose assembly's 10 ability to absorb energy during an impact and without transmitting impact shock to body 12. The retrieval device 22 may be any commonly used retaining device such as, but not limited to, a ring, a cleat, a hook, or a clip. In light of the above, it is therefore understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described. * * * * *

I have a knack for the unexpected, so it is fair to forewarn you that if we are a good match, you're in for a wild ride. I am a Colorado native, a lawyer, and a licensed nurse...which means I can hypnotize you with either my love of all things environmental law OR a fascinating mix of over the counter medications! I can also mesmerize chickens, before preparing them in a fabulous cream reduction which I can pair with a great Merlot or a microbrew. I eat peanut butter straight from the jar, but if you're good (and don't have a peanut allergy, obviously!!) I can also make it into the best batch of cookies known to man. I can quote Quentin Tarantino movies by heart (I LOVE Mr. Pink, by the way), and consider a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia to be a perfectly acceptable meal at least twice a month. My lifelong goal is to travel across Europe and photograph the scenery with a vintage Leica or Hasselblad by train, stopping in Belgium for an extended period of time and eating 5% of my body weight in chocolate. White, dark, milk...doesn't matter which kind of chocolate. Which is a perfect metaphor for the kind of guys I like to date...I'm like the UN, darling!! I get along with everyone!!! I am not a morning person, preferring to stay up late at night reading a good book, cooking anything that pairs well with red wine, listening to jazz, or having the kind of encounters that you have to order pay-per-view for. Weekends are for sleeping in, then hiking, or running, then lounging and taking a breather from what can sometimes be a hectic world. I am curious but reserved, refined but silly, nurturing, smart, and vivacious. I am known to sneak food into movies, and would love to show you during the next good independent or foreign-language film. Are you in?
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I love dogs! I wish I had a little more time (and space) for a big, fun lab or golden, but I'll have to hold off until I move into bigger digs with a yard for that.
Middle of the Road
Hiking and cycling anywhere I can when the weather cooperates (and I have some free time) would count as my favorite "local" hot spots. Also, anywhere I can find good friends, great food, and something that gets me outside!
Anything that takes me outdoors, from hiking to walking to trail running to cycling. I also love to eat out and try new restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops.
Hiking, hitting the bookstore or a good coffee shop around town. Taking a drive up into the foothills, or even sleeping in when I can...because taking a nap should count as a hobby!
A practitioner's guide to wine law. Yes..there is such a legal sub-specialty, and yes...it is somewhat fascinating.

Mark Walsh is Mark Walsh the 911 Criminal
A major error was made, here, in attempting to determine the exact nature of Mark Walsh, as a result of similarities to others. Nick Pugh was compared. That proved to be absolutely wrong. Our apologies to him. Every effort will be made to remove references to him as being this specific 911 hoaxer, and nodisinfo.com posters are encouraged to do the same.
Apologies also to the people at Godlikeforums. It is suggested that they must remove the comparison references, if possible. Regardless, Mark Walsh is Mark Walsh, although the name could be a media one disguising his real name.
He is truly hedonistic.
It is certain that this is the same individual. The other is, apparently, disinfo, purposeful or otherwise. The nose is a give-away; voice is the same, more so than any of the others to which he has been compared.
Same teeth; same nose; same chin.
He is responsible for great crimes against humanity.
Thanks to a poster, the truth about the Harley Man has now been revealed. It's him: the man appearing on the Fox News segment. Here is the posting that alerted us to the error:
Not the same guy. Listen to the voice. Pure disinfo. 9/11 Harley guy is 100% MARK WALSH of Fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjiuPXVERYE
People should make every effort to purge the previous comparisons, including those with Nick Pugh. There is no reason to clutter the Internet with disinformation and misinformation, especially when the actual facts are confirmed.
There were doubts, yet went with it, and that was a mistake, now corrected. This arch-liar of 9-11 who parroted the official story is strictly the Fox freelancer Walsh just as listed in the Fox video in this post.
The other comparisons must be rejected. They are not correct and thus must be purged.
The older Walsh versus the younger one. Tiny, beady eyes in both images. The nose and facial expression, as well as the nature of the mouth and chin, are dead give-aways.
This is the degree of criminality committed by this Zionist mole:
There babbling and focusing on the plane strikes prevents anyone from really focusing, which is what is actually happening on the screen.
Cutter charges detonated by Israeli moles: Walsh acts as a cover.
Thanks to a poster, the truth has now been revealed. It's him: the man appearing on the Fox News segment.

OK….so Nick Pugh is a the LAX fraudster. Mark Walsh is the NYC 911 man. Thanks for the clarification.
This is incorrect my friend. Listen carefully to Harley guy and Mark Walsh on Fox and Friends. Completely different voices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12vexzMq_g0
I'm with you there….the voice of HM sounds much closer to Pugh – that's about as far as I'll go.
Why are inside job witnesses always say they were with unnamed "room mates"?? A dead giveaway.
To me it is clear – LAX and Harley guy are one and the same. Does not anyone have access to some voice analyzing software?
When Walsh says room-mate at 0.31 here
notice the thumb back to his minder in white open-necked shirt. Why not interview the"room mate" then? Surely he had a good view from the "43rd floor" also?!
So, why was this guy wheeled out on 9/13 to cover up for Harley Man?
Sounds nothing like either of themTo me the guy on radio 9/13 does not sound like Harley guy.
They keep changing people and names all the time to confuse and cover their tracks. Classic illusionist trick.
It is refreshingly mature for your web publication to make the necessary efforts for self-correction. This signifies a high level of integrity and makes you worthy of credibility and as such readability. I am impressed. I am also relieved that your apparent goal is not to peddle
fear from an alternative direction, but to merely inform and initiate intelligent dialogue by considering the supplemental information supplied.This should be considered a great Humanitarian service.
I agree completely. DrK should win the Nobel peace prize.
I would agree with you, but methinks that the committee is very much corrupted or horribly short-sighted. If the committee were not so corrupted, then yes most certainly. For now, we will allow the accolades of skeptical readers like ourselves suffice.
The Nobel commitee for the peace prize is corrupt, absolutely. They proved it completely when they gave the prize to Obama. So sick it makes me want to throw up.
true, Nick Pugh from LAX is not the Nick Pugh from 9/11, which doesnt excuse him in any way
[Something is wrong with the the mic sound and sync with the Fox show featuring Mark Walsh.] To me Harley man and Mark Walsh are the same.
LAX man Mr. Pugh is a new entity on the scene. He's the artist/movie man/designer.
But the voices are absolutely identical. Does it not exist high quality voice analyzing tools these days??
Faces are easy to manipulate using professional makeup, filler injections, botox, etc.
This is a tough call. But it is a minor detail, LAX is a proven hoax in many other aspects. The dummy in the wheelchair is a dead giveaway.
OK. So Mark Walsh is not Nick Pugh. Voice is very similar but pointed nose on Walsh gives it away. But Walsh and Pugh are both Zionist agents working for the same Zionist masters against humanity. They gave false witness testomonies on camera and are therefore hereby classified as scum of the earth.
P.S. to Walsh and Pugh
The devil has no friends.

Featured Ride near Moab, area,
"A mellow, family-friendly ride with classic Moab desert scenery."
7.912.8 milesKilometers | 289'88 m Ascent | 4,766'1,453 m High | 1% Avg Grade (1°) |
0% Singletrack | -284'-87 m Descent | 4,486'1,367 m Low | 12% Max Grade (7°) |
With some 4 wheel drive road, some doubletrack and even some slickrock, this ride makes a great loop for families and beginner riders, and an easy introduction to the Moab area.
The loop travels over rolling desert terrain, with long views into Arches National Park to Balanced Rock, the Windows and the Klondike Bluffs. Description
This loop can be ridden in either direction, but this description is for the clockwise loop:
From the Moab Brand area parking lot, go west along the access road, turning right when you hit the fence. Follow this gravel road north past the exit to 191 as it turns into a 4 wheel drive road. After 1.75 miles, the trail branches off to the right and curls around to head southwest, soon passing the head of lower Sevenmile Canyon. It's definitely worth stopping to check out the views down into the canyon from this impressive pour-off. Continue south along the doubletrack as it hugs the edge of the slickrock, passing the 4-way junction with North 40 and Circle-O, then the southern spur to Circle-O and Rockin' A. This is the most engaging section of the trail, weaving back and forth between dirt and slickrock tread. Nearly 4 miles beyond the pouroff, the trail reaches another 4WD road and turns nearly 180 degrees to follow this road 1.2 miles to the Moab Canyon Paved Path. This basically marks the end of the ride; follow the path north for a mile then take a right onto to the access road back to the parking lot.
