The invention relates generally to active clearance control for turbomachinery and, more particularly, to rub detection for turbine engines.
In a turbine engine or other such rotating machinery, the clearance (gap) between the blades and the shroud is an important design and operational parameter of the engine. For aircraft engines, during different parts of the flight cycle, various thermal and mechanical effects lead to the gap changing. In some of these instances, that change is not uniform across the shroud or around the circumference of the engine.
Modern engines incorporate active clearance control systems to minimize these changes. Clearances are traditionally controlled using an analytic model with a built in safety margin to avoid rubs. Such models are necessarily very conservative, resulting in a less than optimal demand clearance.
In systems employing a clearance sensor, eccentricities in the clearance can result in the sensor measuring a positive clearance number, even when a rub has occurred elsewhere around the engine. Thus, for a system in which an active clearance control strategy is employed, this would result in the control driving the clearance to smaller values, even in the case where a pinch point exists and a rub has occurred. If this situation occurs, then the clearance control system runs the risk of rubbing away a substantial portion of the blade squealer tips to the point that subsequent closure of the clearance becomes impossible. However, for systems in which a clearance/displacement sensor is employed, it would be possible to do a rudimentary rub avoidance, through the use of a safety margin, in conjunction with the clearance measurement system, in order to account for some rotor or shroud eccentricities. This approach, however, lacks the desired sensitivity and precision needed for accurate control of clearances.
It would therefore be desirable to provide a clearance control method and system using clearance sensor data for rub detection. It would further be desirable for the clearance control method and system to provide enhanced sensitivity and accuracy for rub detection, so that active clearance control strategies could be beneficially employed.
Briefly, one aspect of the present invention resides in a method of detecting rubs during operation of a turbomachine comprising at least one rotating object having a tip and a shelf. The method includes generating signals representative of a sensed parameter and processing the signals to generate height versus time data for the tip.

A rub detection system 50 embodiment of the invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1-7. The turbomachine 10 includes at least one rotating object 20 having a tip 22 and a shelf 24. Nonlimiting examples of turbomachines include aircraft engines, power generation turbines, turbochargers for locomotive engines, compressors and oil and gas pumping units. In one example, the turbomachine is an aircraft engine or a turbine stage thereof, and the rotating object 20 is a turbine blade 20. For example, the turbomachine is a high-pressure turbine stage of a turbine engine, and the rotating object is a high pressure turbine blade. FIG. 1 schematically depicts an example “squealer tip” 22 of an example turbine blade. As indicated in FIG. 1, the tip 22 extends from the blade shelf 24 and the distance between the tip 22 and the shelf 24 is the tip or squealer height h. The dimensions given in the figures and text are merely examples, and the invention is not limited to any specific part dimensions or part design.
As indicated for example in FIG. 3, the rub detection system 50 includes at least one sensor 52 configured to generate signals representative of a sensed parameter corresponding to the rotating object(s) 20 at a plurality of times. The system 50 further includes a processor 60 configured to evaluate the signals to generate height h versus time data for the tip 22. As noted above with reference to FIG. 1, the height h of the tip 22 corresponds to the distance between the tip 22 and the shelf 24. The processor 60 is further configured to monitor the height h versus time data in order to determine whether a change in the height data exceeds a threshold value hthreshold, and to output a rub detection signal when the change in the height data exceeds the threshold value hthreshold. The rub detection system further includes a controller 70 configured to receive the rub detection signal. For the illustrated example, the controller 70 is a FADEC (full authority digital engine control system). In other non-limiting examples, the controller 70 is an (engine or blade) health monitoring system.
In one embodiment, the controller 70 is further configured to adjust the clearance between the rotating object(s) and a second object 30 in response to the control signal. More generally, for particular embodiments, the controller 70 is configured to adjust one or more engine parameters based at least in part on the rub detection. Non-limiting examples of engine parameters include bypass air bleed or compressor air bleed flow rates directed to impinge on the second object 30 to control its thermal growth, an electrical signal to mechanically adjust the radial position of shrouds mounted on the second object 30, or air pressures that may be used to mechanically adjust the position of the second object 30. In another embodiment, the rub detection system 50 further includes a health monitoring unit 90, which is configured to receive the rub detection signal and display one or more health indicators for the rotating object(s) 20 that include rub detection information.
According to particular embodiments, the sensor(s) 52 comprises a capacitive sensor, and the sensed parameter comprises capacitance. The specific sensor configuration is not the subject of the present invention and will not be described in detail. It should be noted that the probe arrangement in FIG. 1, which shows a single probe with two offset probe tips 54, 56 is merely one possible arrangement. More generally, two or more separate single-head probes could be used, and the probes need not be co-located but rather could be spatially separated. In addition, the arrangement of FIG. 1 could be modified to employ a single, self-calibrated probe, as well. Specific arrangements of capacitive sensors are discussed for example, in commonly assigned US Published Patent Application US20060132147A1, Mahadevan Balasubramaniam et al, “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING CLEARANCE BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS” and in U.S. Pat. No. 7,215,129, Emad Andarawis et al., “Multitip clearance measurement system and method of operation.” FIG. 4 shows sample waveforms 80, 81, 82 for a squealer tip 22 and shelf 24 taken using a capacitive probe. The three waveforms 80, 81, 82 were obtained at a 5 mil, a 15 mil and a 25 mil offset.
In a number of embodiments, the turbomachine 10 comprises a plurality of rotating objects 20. For example, the turbine engine 10 of FIG. 2 includes a number of turbine blades 20, and the stationary object 30 is a turbine case 30. For these embodiments, the sensor(s) 52 is (are) configured to generate signals corresponding to each of the rotating objects 20. Similarly, the processor 60 is configured to generate the height h versus time data for each of the tips of the rotating objects and to perform the monitoring for each of the rotating objects. For the embodiment in which the controller 70 is further configured to control the clearance in response to the rub detection signal(s), the controller 70 is configured to collectively adjust the clearance between the rotating objects 20 and the second object 30 in response to the control signal. For the example shown in FIG. 3, the controller 70 adjusts the clearance by sending one or more control signals to a (thermal) actuator 72, which in turn adjusts the clearance between the blades 20 and the casing 30 by thermal actuation. This is merely one example, and other types of actuators or adjustment schemes may be used to adjust the clearance.
For the sample sensor arrangement shown in FIG. 2, there are three sensors 52 used to monitor the clearance and tip height during operation of the turbomachine 10. In other applications, there may be 1, 2, 4 or other numbers of sensors 52 used to monitor the clearance and tip height.
As discussed above and as illustrated, for example, by FIG. 2, in particular embodiments, each of the rotating objects 20 comprises a turbine blade 20, and the height h data correspond to squealer tip height h values. According to more particular embodiments, the threshold value hthreshold is adaptive and varies as a function of the number of blades 20 over which a rub has occurred, such that the threshold value hthreshold is higher where the squealer tip height h of only one of the blades 20 changes and conversely is lower where the squealer tip height h of at least two adjacent blades 20 changes over a defined time period. In many applications, the rotation speed is high (for example 12000-40000 rpm, depending on the application), and the data can be averaged over a number of revolutions, for example 1000 or 10,000, in a short time period, such that a fast response time can be maintained. It should further be noted that the 1000 and 10,000 blade averages indicated in FIG. 9 are merely examples, and in general any practical blade average can be used. Ideally, the average would be taken over the minimum number of revolutions to achieve a desired signal to noise ratio, while maintaining a fast response time. If the squealer tip height h of several adjacent blades 10 changes over 1000 (or 10,000 etc.) revolutions, it is more likely that a rub has occurred, than if the squealer tip height h of only one blade 20 (or of isolated blades 20) has occurred during the same time period. Accordingly, the threshold value hthreshold at which a rub will be said to have occurred (such that corrective action may be taken to adjust the clearance between the blades 20 and the turbine casing 30) adapts to the number of adjacent blades experiencing a change in height h. Beneficially, this adaptive threshold increases sensitivity, while maintaining an acceptable false positive probability.
Sensitivity is further enhanced by varying the threshold value hthreshold as an inverse function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Namely, the threshold value increases as the SNR decreases (poor SNR) and decreases as the SNR increases (good SNR). This adaptive threshold technique helps to avoid false positives when the SNR is poor and provides high sensitivity, and thus fast rub detection, in high SNR environments.
For particular embodiments, the at least one signal obtained using sensor(s) 52 comprises a signal waveform 80, 81, 82, and the processor 60 is configured to perform an N-dimensional optimization operation on the signal waveform, where N is the number of data points selected from the signal waveform. As noted above, FIG. 4 shows three sample waveforms 80, 81, 82 taken using a capacitive sensor 52 for a blade tip 22. With a capacitance sensor what is measured is the capacitance seen by the sensor tip, with the blade present, relative to the capacitance seen by the sensor tip, when the blade has rotated past the sensor. These capacitance measurements are a function of circumferential, as well as radial distance between the sensor and the blade, plus significant blade dimensions, such as squealer height and, to a lesser extent, the wear on the squealer tips. A capacitive sensor 52 is characterized by the normalized relative capacitance:
C k(r,d,h)=C k(r,d,h)/c refk, and
is further characterized by the reference capacitance:
c refk =c k(r tipk,δref +d p ,h ref),
where the channel number, k=1,2, and “d” is the radial distance between the sensor and the blade tip, as indicated in FIG. 1. Example relative capacitance functions are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows relative capacitance functions for a fixed value of h (h=0.04), for different values of δ, ranging from 0.01-0.06. FIG. 6 shows relative capacitance functions for a fixed value of δ (δ=0.01), for different values of h (0.02, 0.04 and 0.06). FIG. 7 illustrates relative capacitance functions for a forward probe tip position and for a setback probe tip position. FIG. 1 indicates a forward probe tip position and a setback probe tip position, with an example setback of 0.015 inches. This setback is merely an example, and the invention is not limited to specific probe positions or setbacks. As discussed above, the probe arrangement in FIG. 1 is merely one possible arrangement. More generally, two or more separate single-head probes could be used, and the probes need not be co-located but rather could be spatially separated. In addition, the arrangement of FIG. 1 could be modified to employ a single, self-calibrated probe, as well.
According to a more particular embodiment, a calibration function F for a single sensor tip (k=1) is defined as:
and the N-dimensional optimization operation is performed by simultaneously solving the following equation for h and δ:
where gc is a system gain value, h is the squealer tip height, δ is a true clearance value, dp is an offset value, C1 is a probe response, Vtip1 is a tip-to-base voltage, Vsh1 is a shelf-to-base voltage, and rtip1 and rsh1 are relative circumferential positions for the squealer tip 22 and the blade shelf 24. This optimization can be generalized by replacing rtip1 and rsh1 by ri and rj, which are two relative circumferential blade positions, and by replacing Vtip1 and Vsh1 with the corresponding voltage values Vi and Vj. In other words, the solution of the optimization problem is not limited to the specific points rtip1 and rsh1 (and corresponding voltage values Vtip1 and Vsh1) but rather can be solved using two or more points ri and rj (and the corresponding two or more voltage values Vi and Vj).
A method of detecting rubs during operation of a turbomachine 10 is described with reference to FIGS. 8, 9 and 11. As discussed above with reference to FIG. 1, the turbomachine 10 includes at least one rotating object 20 having a tip 22 and a shelf 24. FIG. 8 is a flow chart illustrating a clearance control method embodiment of the invention. As indicated in FIG. 8, the method 100 includes at step 110 generating signals representative of a sensed parameter. In particular embodiments, the sensed parameter is capacitance. The method further includes at step 120 processing the signals to generate height versus time data for the tip, where a height h of the tip corresponds to a distance between the tip and the shelf, as discussed above with reference to FIG. 1. The method further includes at step 130 monitoring the height h versus time data in order to determine whether a change in the height h data exceeds a threshold value hthreshold. The method further includes at step 140 detecting a rub of the rotating object(s) on a second object 30, when the change in the height data exceeds the threshold value hthreshold.
As indicated for example in FIG. 11, the method further optionally includes at step 142 adjusting the clearance between the rotating object(s) 20 and the second object 30 based on the rub detection. At step 144, the method optionally includes displaying one or more health indicators for the rotating object(s) 20 that include information about the rub detection. At step 146, the method optionally includes controlling one or more engine parameters based at least in part on the rub detection. As noted above, non-limiting examples of engine parameters include case cooling or heating air flows (for example, valve positions for the cool and hot air that impinges on the stator) for controlling thermal growth, electrical signals to mechanically adjust static shroud positions, or cavity pressures to mechanically position the static member 30.
As discussed above with reference to FIG. 2, for a number of embodiments, the turbomachine 10 comprises a plurality of rotating objects 20. For example, the turbine engine 10 of FIG. 2 includes a number of turbine blades 20, and the stationary object 30 is a turbine case 30. For these embodiments, the generating, processing, monitoring and rub detection steps 110, 120, 130, 140 are performed for each of the rotating objects 20.
As discussed above and as illustrated, for example, by FIG. 2, in particular embodiments, each of the rotating objects 20 comprises a turbine blade 20, and the height h data correspond to squealer tip height h values. According to more particular embodiments, the threshold value hthreshold is adaptive and varies as a function of the number of blades 20 over which a rub has occurred, such that the threshold value hthreshold is higher where the squealer tip height h of only one of the blades 20 changes and conversely is lower where the squealer tip height h of at least two adjacent blades 20 changes over a defined time period. Beneficially, this adaptive threshold increases sensitivity, while maintaining an acceptable false positive probability.
As discussed above, sensitivity is further enhanced by varying the threshold value hthreshold as an inverse function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Namely, the threshold value increases as the SNR decreases (poor SNR) and decreases as the SNR increases (good SNR). This adaptive threshold technique helps to avoid false positives when the SNR is poor and provides high sensitivity, and thus fast rub detection, in high SNR environments.
FIG. 9 is a logic flow chart for a closed loop, turbine active clearance control application of the invention. As noted above, one or more sensors 52 may be used to monitor the rotating parts 20. In the illustrated example, there are two sensors 52 (Probes A and B). For the illustrated example, the probe signals are digitized. Next, the tip height for each blade is calculated using the digitized signals. For the illustrated example, an initial average tip height for the first 1000 successive revolutions with a clearance of less than 0.050 inches is calculated. It should be noted that this example is illustrative and non-limiting. For the illustrated example, a rub is defined when a 1000 revolution moving average tip height is less than the initial average 1000 revolution tip height for five (5) or more blades. Next, it is determined whether a rub is detected. If yes, then a change to the FADEC settings is indicated, in order to open (or increase) the clearance. Upon clearance (removal) of a rub, it is desirable to delay closing (reducing) the clearance, in order to prevent the rub from starting again. Thus, it is next determined whether a rub is indicated in 10,000 revolutions. If no rub is indicated, then no change to the FADEC settings is indicated. In this example, the 10,000 revolution limit serves as a pause to avoid re-initiating the rub. If the rub has been cleared for 10,000 revolutions, then the controller 70 begins to increment back to the nominal FADEC schedule. In addition to the logic operations shown in FIG. 9, additional calculations and logic steps may then be performed at (A)-(E) to further determine whether to modify the FADEC settings, and if so, what the modifications should be.
The processing step 120 can be performed using a number of techniques. For particular embodiments, the at least one signal comprises a signal waveform 80, 81, 82 as indicated for example in FIG. 4, and the processing step 120 comprises performing an N-dimensional optimization operation on the signal waveform, where N is the number of data points selected from the signal waveform. According to a more particular embodiment, a calibration function F is defined as:
as discussed above. This optimization can be generalized by replacing rtip1 and rsh1 by ri and rj, which are two relative circumferential blade positions, and by replacing Vtip1 and Vsh1 with the corresponding voltage values Vi and Vj. In other words, the solution of the optimization problem is not limited to the specific points rtip1 and rsh1 (and corresponding voltage values Vtip1 and Vsh1) but rather can be solved using two points ri and rj (and the corresponding voltage values Vi and Vj).

In particular embodiments, the controller 70 is further configured to adjust the clearance between the rotating object(s) 20 and a second object 30 in response to the control signal. One non-limiting example of the controller 70 is a FADEC. More generally, for certain embodiments, the controller is configured to control one or more engine parameters based at least in part on the rub detection signal. Sample logic for a control scheme using rub detection is discussed above with reference to FIG. 9. For the illustrated example, the turbine engine system 150 further includes an actuator 72, for example a thermal actuator, which receives the control signal from controller 70 and adjusts the clearance between the turbine case 30 and the turbine blades 20 in response to the control signal. In addition, for the illustrated embodiment, the turbine engine system 150 further includes a health monitoring unit for displaying one or more health indicators for the rotating part(s) 20, where the health indicators include information related to rub detection. Various other features, embodiments and implementations of turbine engine system 150 are discussed in detail above with reference to the rub detection system and method embodiments of the invention.
The above-described embodiments use spatially sensitive clearance sensor(s) that is (are) sensitive to blade shapes and then track the blade shapes as a function of time. Rub occurrence is thus determined based on blade shape changes, not just on clearance measurements. Beneficially, the invention is capable of detecting rubs that occur at points away from the location of the installed clearance sensor by means of tracking blade shape features and flagging changes that occur over time. In addition, the adaptive determination of rub detection thresholds based on SNR and measurement conditions enhances sensitivity. As a result, the above-described embodiments allow for the operation of a closed loop active clearance control system at a significantly reduced gap size. Since rubs are detected even when they occur away from the sensor location, the clearance can be kept small, thus improving the energy efficiency of the engine. In addition, since rubs are detected and flagged quickly, blade wear due to rubs can greatly be reduced. The sensor's ability to track squealer tip changes over time also enables blade health checking, and can trigger blade servicing at optimum times instead of preset intervals.

Nuttee from Thailand
Kindly staff , good service , nice location and worthy for your pay and stay here”
Staff very kindly they can suggest restaurant bus station any where you want they can help room are cleand breakfast is delicious everything are nice ! I will be back here again for sure
Location, Staff and large clean rooms
We had a fantastic 4 nights at the Hakuba Landmark Hotel. The room was large and comfortable, and there was a delicious hot breakfast provided every day. The location is about 50-100m from the gondola of Iwatake Ski Area so its practically ski in/out in the mornings. Whilst there isnt much nightlife in iwatake, the hotel is right over the road from the most awesome bar in Hakuba - the Hakuba Brewing Co. - which has the best (western style) food and a range of delicious local craft beers which they brew on site. You can easily get to Happo One in about 10 mins, or any of the other hakuba snowfields, using either the free shuttle or the paid hakuba valley bus service (¥500/day) from the bottom of iwatake gondola. Otherwise a taxi to Happo costs about ¥1600 each way. One thing that was a god-send for us was the free washing machine and drier provided for guest use in the basement, as by the time we arrived we'd been travelling for a month without doing laundry. Above everything else it was the staff at the Hakuba Landmark that made our stay so great. Tracey and Scott were amazing, warm and friendly hosts, always helpful with advice and suggestions of where to go and what to do.They even drove us to dinner in happo one night and dropped us at the train station on the day we left. Would not hesitate to stay here next time we're in hakuba or to recommend to anyone else happy to be slightly out of the happo party scene. Thanks for an awesome time!
Right beside ski area, great service, clean room
I'm very impressed with the service by Tracy and Paul of Hakuba Landmark Iwatake Lodge! They are very thoughtful and nice to the customers, providing free pick-up to and from JR Hakuba Station, and even restaurants (provided we inform them early and they are free). Tracy is eager to introduce nice eating places or offer any advice, and Paul shares a lot of information about Hakuba. Though I did not manage to get a room with a nice snowy view (I guess it's the ONLY room with view blocked by a shed) I'm still very satisfied overall.

Amazon.com: Cynne's review of ChiRunning: A Revolutionary Approach to Ef...
Buyer Beware, December 14, 2011
By Cynne
The timing of the first publication of ChiRunning is important. Dr. Romanov, a Russian sports scientist and Olympic coach, published "Pose Running" in 2002 (he had been teaching the technique in clinics and on DVD's for years before that). Dreyer's 2004 "ChiRunning" technique is not far from being a dead ringer for the technique published two years earlier by Romanov. Hence, the claim that ChiRunning is a "ground breaking" technique is, quite simply, false (Romanov himself began by analyzing the techniques of world class runners, and so he doesn't boast of being a ground breaker). If a book begins with false claims, buyer beware. Dreyer has tweaked Romanov's technique in a couple of important ways. Romanov advocates landing on the ball of the foot, while Dreyer advocates landing on the midfoot. Dreyer doesn't, however, explain what the "midfoot" is. Is it the arch of the foot? If so, how does one land first on the arch of the foot? The toes, ball, or heel of the foot have a nasty habit of preventing an arch-first strike unless the runner lands on the outside of the foot (known as "supination") or the inside of the foot ("pronation"), which not even Dreyer recommends. Or when Dreyer refers to the midfoot, does he really just mean the ball of the foot? If so, he is once again plagiarizing Romanov. A "certified" ChiRunning instructor has an online video and tries to deal with this embarrassing ambiguity by explaining that landing on the midfoot is really just another way of describing landing on the "whole" foot simultaneously. If so, why didn't Dreyer just say so about something as important as how the foot strikes the ground while running? It wouldn't be the most efficient way to run, but at least there would be some clarity about what is being recommended in a 320 page book that is long on fluff and short on practical detail (an online video of Dreyer running in a race, as opposed to the carefully staged photos in the book, shows him landing heel first). ChiRunning also omits a critical element of the Romanov technique that is critical to learning to run in an efficient way (I tried Dreyer's method before happening upon Romanov's book and am hence speaking from personal experience). Romanov's book includes extensive, easy to understand and follow drills to learn how to run correctly. ChiRunning, on the other hand, devotes only a few pages to recommendations such as rotating your pelvis from your "pivot point;" i.e., the T12-L1 vertebral level of the spine. The T12-L1 vertebral level is not a Tai Chi concept. And try looking anywhere to find support from a doctor, physical therapist, professor of anatomy, or anyone other than Mr. Dreyer that the pelvis rotates from one particular part of the spine or that T12-L1 plays a unique and "pivotal" role in the spine, let alone pelvic rotation. Dreyer, a carpenter, doesn't provide any references for his claim. And even if such a pivot point existed, his recommendation would be useless. When spine surgeons perform surgery, they use X-rays to count the spinal vertebrae to make sure they are operating at the correct level. If a spine surgeon needs an X-ray to be confident of being at a particular spinal level even though the surgeon can look at an anesthetized patient's naked back and feel the vertebrae, what chance does an ordinary runner have of concentrating on one out of 17 thoracic and lumbar vertebral levels that the runner can't see or feel? If you are mistakenly concentrating on rotating your pelvis from one level above or below T12-L1, is that going to set you back because your mental gaze has missed the "pivot" point? Dreyer has another exercise in which you place fingers near your collarbone and on your lower back to "lengthen" your spine. If a spine could be lengthened so simply, there would be millions of kids aspiring to life in the NBA walking around with their fingers on their collarbones and lower backs trying to lengthen their spines. What Dreyer recommends is just a gimmick for adjusting a person's posture, and it has no practical value for running. If you doubt that, try running the same distance with and without "lengthening" your spine before you set out (not even Dreyer recommends the lengthening procedure while running) and compare your times and exertion levels. I mention these examples because they expose Dreyer's utter lack of expertise or even basic understanding regarding the anatomy and mechanics of the human body (he talks at one point about the medial meniscus tendon; he probably means the medial collateral ligament, because there is no medial meniscus tendon, but with Dreyer you never know). In 2002 Terry Laughlin, a swimming coach, published a fine book on swimming that includes several yoga concepts (Laughlin had been conducting clinics for years prior to that). Dreyer admits that he tried, in part, to pattern ChiRunning after Laughlin's approach. That included starting ChiRunning clinics and copying various words and phrases Laughlin uses in his book, such as "effortless" and using different "gears." Is it possible that Dreyer read Romanov's highly technical, detailed Pose Running, read Laughlin's practical swimming book that includes yoga references, and decided that he could market Romanov's technique by sprinkling in some Tai Chi (if you want to learn Tai Chi, you will need to look elsewhere than ChiRunning) and claiming it as Dreyer's own revolutionary and ground breaking method? If so, it appears to have been a highly profitable marketing ploy and expropriation of another person's work. But buyer beware. And beware the many five star reviews. There are marketing companies that will write positive reviews for products. There are also a lot of "certified" ChiRunning instructors and this is, after all, big business, not a revolutionary new way of running.

Central coast couple snag derelict home for $1.1 million | Daily Mail Online
Central coast couple snag derelict home for $1.1 MILLION - beating investors from Sydney, China and even a Swiss man who flew to Australia to eye the property
A young couple beat out international investors to be the news owners of a million-dollar Daley's Point shack
The one-bedroom glorified shed sits on 854sqm of land and was described as a 'fisherman's cottage'
The home is located close to 100km away from Sydney's centre in one of the coasts most desired suburbs
Published: 19:11 EST, 3 June 2017 | Updated: 19:30 EST, 3 June 2017
A Sydney couple have beaten out several domestic and international investors to purchase a million-dollar shack in Daley's Point.
The one-bedroom, one-bathroom glorified shed on 854sqm of land on the water's edge was described by listing agent Matthew Kidd as a 'fisherman's cottage'.
'We basically sold it for land value,' he said citing that the property's seller had admitted it was 'difficult home to sell'.

In the end a young couple from Killcare Heights came out on top of the other potential buyers, which included Chinese investors and a potential buyer who flew from Switzerland, with their offer of 1.1 million.
Mr Kidd said much of the interest was from Sydney locals.
The home is located close to 100km away from Sydney's centre in one of the coasts most desired waterfront suburbs.
'We had three or four people who missed out on it due to price, term or time frame,' Mr Kidd told Realestate.com.
He said the vendor had originally sought to develop the property however had picked up another project in Sydney instead.

AbstractRegulation of the expression of the cytosolic O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase gene (Atcys-3A) from Arabidopsis thaliana under heavy metal stress conditions has been investigated. Northern blot analysis of Atcys-3A expression shows a 7-fold induction after 18 h of cadmium treatment. Addition of 50 microm CdCl(2) to the irrigation medium of mature Arabidopsis plants induces a rapid accumulation of the mRNA throughout the leaf lamina, the root and stem cortex, and stem vascular tissues when compared with untreated plants, as observed by in situ hybridization. High pressure liquid chromatography analysis of GSH content shows a transient increase after 18 h of metal treatment. Our results are compatible with a high cysteine biosynthesis rate under heavy metal stress required for the synthesis of GSH and phytochelatins, which are involved in the plant detoxification mechanism. Arabidopsis-transformed plants overexpressing the Atcys-3A gene by up to 9-fold show increased tolerance to cadmium when grown in medium containing 250 microm CdCl(2), suggesting that increased cysteine availability is responsible for cadmium tolerance. In agreement with these results, exogenous addition of cystine can, to some extent, also favor the growth of wild-type plants in cadmium-containing medium. Cadmium accumulates to higher levels in leaves of tolerant transformed lines than in wild-type plants.PMID: 11121418 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.M009574200 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Free full textShareMeSH Terms, SubstancesMeSH TermsAdaptation, Physiological/genetics*Arabidopsis/enzymologyArabidopsis/genetics*Arabidopsis/physiologyCadmium/pharmacology*Carbon-Oxygen Lyases/genetics*Carbon-Oxygen Lyases/metabolismCysteine/metabolismCysteine SynthaseDNA, ComplementaryGene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic/drug effects*Gene Expression Regulation, Plant/drug effects*Glutathione/metabolismMetals, Heavy/pharmacology*Multienzyme Complexes*Plant Leaves/metabolismRNA, Messenger/geneticsRNA, Messenger/metabolismSaccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins*SubstancesDNA, ComplementaryMetals, HeavyMultienzyme ComplexesRNA, MessengerSaccharomyces cerevisiae ProteinsCadmiumCysteine SynthaseMET17 protein, S cerevisiaeO-acetylhomoserine (thiol)-lyaseCarbon-Oxygen LyasesGlutathioneCysteineLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesHighWireOther Literature SourcesCited by Patents in - The LensMolecular Biology DatabasesSaccharomyces Genome DatabaseMiscellaneousCADMIUM, ELEMENTAL - Hazardous Substances Data BankCYSTEINE - Hazardous Substances Data BankPubMed Commons home

High Performance - What These Apps Did may Shock you
Doug Sillars, AT&T
When it comes to building a mobile application, the performance, speed and battery consumption of the app is often overlooked. Further, the network connectivity of mobile apps is often a black box that is not well understood. Doug will show some examples of apps with "interesting" network behaviors, and how they were fixed speed up the performance of the applications.
Jens Kuehlers, Google
It's been a while since we had a general overview of the Google Cloud Platform. Now Google Cloud has grown to 19 products, Jens will be giving an update on what happened in the last two months and what's especially cool when you get started on the Google Cloud Platform.
Additionally you can expect our usual agenda with Tech Roundup, GDG Calendar and maybe even a raffle - and some nice chats with other community members.
NOTE: Google's security requires us to send in a list of attendees with full names on it. Upon RSVP you need to provide your full name either in profile or as an answer to the custom question we pose.

High quality accommodation and superb service by all staff makes More Qs a great base for enjoying time in Cape Town. Just out of earshot of the huslte and bustle of bars/cafes but within striking distance of everything if you fancy a downhill wander down Long St to the waterfront to work off the outstanding breakfast. Expect us back next year!
Room Tip: 1-bedroom appartments can be equipped with a sofa.

The comforts of home and the decadence of a luxury hotel.
My husband and I spent 5 nights at More Quarters during our honeymoon in South Africa. The apartment had every comfort we could hope for, and the staff made our stay effortless. We had a gorgeous breakfast every day in the breakfast room, and also enjoyed our own kitchen for afternoon snacks and wine on our private terrace. More Quarters allowed us to feel comfortable and at home while spending a few days in the stunning city of Cape Town, and was well located for everything we wanted to do. I've already recommended it to a friend who traveled to Cape Town recently, and would definitely stay there again if we have the opportunity to return to Cape Town!

Elegant mews style apartment in excellent cape town location
Located just off Kloof Street and therefore within walking distance of a wide variety of clubs and restaurants, The More Quarters are situated in a mews style cul de sac, well protected from any noise associated with cape town's vibrant nightlife.
Each apartment is stylishly simple with minimum adornments, predoninantly white, but comfortable and with all the amenities of self catering home from home accommodation.
The main building comprising the reception, lounge (with an excellent small library and lap top at guests' disposal) and dining room is similarly decorated simply but elegantly.
The breakfast buffet spread was ample with all the usual pastries, fruits, cereals and more, with a full cooked menu from which to choose.
Staff were welcoming and helpful - I would definitely recommend More Quarters for short or long stays in the Mother City.

A most enjoyable stay-over
We were very pleased with the friendliness of all the staff and how welcome they made us feel during our stay. Our accommodations were better than expected - a comfortable sitting area adjacent to the kitchen facilities, a well appointed bedroom, a secluded courtyard in which to relax.
The dining room was special - clean, crisp linens and an attentive wait staff. The breakfast buffet and al a carte menu were most appreciated.
And all this within walking distance from many shops, restaurants and entertinment spots.
Thanks to all for making this part of our trip so enjoyable.

We recently spent a few weeks in South Africa and were lucky enough to be recommended the More Quarters and Cape Cadogan Hotels.
More Quarters are amazingly modern/fresh apartments that really make you feel like you are at home!
You still have access to a lobby and most of the normal hotel facilities, and the HUGE PLUS is the Location! It is right in the centre of the "real" Cape Town. So many great restaurants, Cafe's and boutique shops all within a few meters of the front door.
THis hotel is the real deal in the heart of Cape Town
On top of that knowledgable staff who are sincere and always eager to help work at reception-24hrs. The breakfast always hit the spot, and the Rooms are spectacular!
I would recommend this Hotel to couples, families and the apartments would be very well suited to bussines travellers
