Are you concerned about the direction our society seems to be taking? Do you feel concern not only for yourself, but also for younger generations such as your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren? Is it your desire to leave this earth a better place because of you and your contributions?
Life is full of challenges. Tests and trials can allow a stronger you to emerge. In order to survive and grow in these difficult times, do you know how to weather the storm? Do you have a strategy in place to overcome the challenges that you face?
Whether a person in transition, a parent, business person or all of these, what can be learned from the bushido code of the samurai? Who were the samurai and how could a people dedicated to war and violence have such an impact on a culture known for its politeness, manners and aesthetic beauty?
The samurai warrior of ancient Japan lived by a moral and ethical code known as bushido; ‘the way of the warrior.’ This code of chivalry sculpted a culture and influenced all aspects of Japanese society. After the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, the world witnessed the characteristics of bushido: courage, Integrity, honesty, honor, benevolence, respect and ganbaru. The Courage of a Samurai presents these principles as a guide for navigating the challenges we all face personally and professionally, with examples of individuals who exemplify their meaning in today’s world.

I was born shortly after World War II in a primarily
rural Caucasian community disconnected from my
Japanese heritage. In fact, I did not realize that I was
different until my grade school classmates teased me
about it; this was my first encounter with prejudice.
I was blamed for the bombing of Pearl Harbor and
World War II--a heavy burden on young shoulders,
but there was something inside that would not allow
the pain I felt to defeat me.
After graduating from college in 1978 with a
Bachelor of Arts Degree, I had the fortunate opportunity
to work at the Tacoma Art Museum in Tacoma,
Washington. I was the assistant to the curator, international
designer Sara Little Turnbull, who became
my first mentor. At only four feet 11 inches, she has
been described as a giant in design and the mother of
invention. Sara had spent time researching in Japan
and loved Japanese culture, so she encouraged me to
explore my Japanese heritage. My assignment was to
research and catalog the artifacts in the "Sara Little
Center for Design Research," many of which came
I became fascinated with the beauty, ingenuity,
and simplicity of the Japanese artifacts, and the
research consumed me. She always said that I was more
Japanese than I realized and suggested that I travel to
Japan. Sara referred to herself as my Jewish mother. It
was God's plan for me to connect with and appreciate
In 1994, I attended an exhibit at the Wing Luke
Museum in Seattle, Washington, featuring Chiune
Sugihara, also known as the Japanese Schindler. The
exhibit described Sugihara's work in saving the lives of
the Jewish refugees in Lithuania just before World War
II. His courage deeply moved me and another seed was
planted regarding my Japanese heritage.
Later in 2003, I watched the movie, The Last Samurai,
and I felt a connection to the emotional strength of the
Japanese characters. My study on the subject of the
samurai and the Bushido code commenced.
These two events caused me to turn pain into gain and embrace
that which I once scorned. They also served as the
impetus for this book. I am a sansei (third-generation
Japanese American) and a descendant of the samurai
warrior on the paternal side of my family.
Since my initial trip to Japan in 1982, I have returned
numerous times to study, visit, and have a
deeper connection to my Japanese heritage. I have
been reading, writing, interviewing, and studying relentlessly
to search for answers; this is my passion and
purpose in life. This book represents a step of discovery
and my journey home.
This search also has given me the opportunity to understand
the qualities of leadership. Although these are
not principles unique to Japan, this study has helped
me to embrace my Japanese heritage with pride. It has
also opened my eyes to how far from these principles
we as a society have moved.
Not long ago, there was a time when your word
was your bond, and it was safe to leave your doors
unlocked because you knew your neighbors. In our
modern society, it would seem that the distinction between
right and wrong gave way to situational ethics.
The term honest business dealing is almost considered
Have we succumbed to mediocrity?
Are there leaders today worth following?
Are you concerned about the direction our society
seems to be taking? Do you feel concern not only for
yourself, but also for younger generations such as your
children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren? Is it
your desire to leave this earth a better place because of
you and your contributions?
Life is full of challenges. Tests and trials can allow a
stronger you to emerge. In order to survive and grow
in these difficult times, do you know how to weather
the storm? Do you have a strategy in place to overcome
the challenges that you face?
This determination to survive challenges was ingrained
in the Japanese immigrants who settled in America through
the bushido code. This feudal code provided moral and
ethical structure that allowed them to survive and prosper
in a country often hostile to their very presence.
The issei (first-generation Japanese immigrants to the United
States) taught the bushido code of honor, loyalty to family
and country, and to always do one's best to their children.
The niseis (second-generation Japanese Americans) were
the generation who weathered life behind barbed wire
during World War II. They also volunteered to serve their
country in both Europe and Asia.
Throughout this book, you will learn the principles
of the samurai and be inspired by how these principles
influenced their descendants. You will also discover
why these principles became the basis for great leadership.
Bushido literally means the way of the warrior;
it is the code of chivalry developed by the warriors of
ancient Japan known as the samurai. This code formed
the basis of their conduct. It emphasized courage, loyalty,
and the idea of death before dishonor. Over the
centuries, it influenced not only the samurai warriors,
but also all of Japanese society.
The bushido code includes the following principles:
The samurai, or warrior class, evolved from powerful
clans banded together as a means of resistance to
the encroachment of imperial power. Their principles
embraced a sense of order, honor, selflessness, and
moral integrity. They understood those imbued with
power were required to wield it for the good of the
many, not for the selfishness of the few. The samurai
dedicated his life to uphold these principles, and such
dedication was not optional. He also served and protected
his lord, and those in his care.
Bushido code principles were not only for the samurai warriors but
were a code of ethics that can be utilized and practiced
in our everyday life both personally and professionally.
In this book, each principle is discussed with examples
of people who embody these principles.
At the end of the book, a chapter discusses the
Japanese word ganbaru, loosely translated as do your
best, try your hardest, never give up, and go for broke!
There are several translations for this one word ganbaru
because as it so often happens in the Japanese
language, there are words describing more of a feeling
and state of mind. I believe that ganbaru summarizes
the bushido code. Samurai are known to Westerners as
having the ability to possess many different characteristics
of the bushido code. These may include serving
people, striving for honor, and doing one's best.
A colleague and author, Bruce Brummond, wrote a befitting
and timeless acronym for the word samurai below:
I wrote this book to bring honor to the courageous
men and women who dedicated their lives by adhering
to the bushido code whether they knew it or not. They
determined to do the right thing all the time. Their
decisions sometimes cost them dearly, but our lives are
forever enriched because of their sacrifices.
My goal is to inspire, educate, and empower you,
the reader, to take action in your personal and business
lives. I believe that you were born to live a life of
courage, honor, and integrity, and I would love to be
your coach, mentor, and accountability partner on this
journey. If you are just beginning, welcome! If you
are well on your way, I hope you will be inspired to
continue and achieve your highest goals, dreams, and
visions. Regardless of where you are, let us link arms,
and travel this journey together!
You can live a life of honor in today's society.
Let the principles of the ancient samurai code guide
you along that path.
Are you ready to embark on an incredible journey?
Are you open to an honorable way of living in your
personal and business lives? Do you want to learn what
the ancient principles of the samurai teach about overcoming
your challenges? If you are ready, then sharpen
your sword, and let's begin!

[0001] This application is a divisional application of patent application Ser. No. 09/664,074, entitled Device and Method for Therapeutic Treatment of Living Organisms, filed on Sep. 19, 2000.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to devices containing arrays of light-emitting diodes (hereinafter LED's) which are employed in photo-therapy for various living organisms. [0004] 2. Description of the Relevant Art [0005] Many U. S. and foreign patents disclose the use of light sources such as laser diodes and light emitting diodes emitting electromagnetic radiation of various wavelengths (i.e., colors) for administering positive and beneficial treatments to living organisms (including mammals) for injury, pain relief and illness. [0006] U. S. Pat. No. 5,187,377 discloses LED arrays comprising a substrate and two sets of LED's emitting different colors of light which can be used as light sources for facsimile or scanner devices. The first and second sets of LED's are connected in series so that a current alternatively flows through one set or the other, in opposite directions. The two sets of LED's connected in series are further connected with each other in parallel. [0007] U. S. Pat. No. 5,500,009 to Amron, Ltd. discusses the use of lasers and LED's in photo-therapy for the treatment of various ailments in humans. A method of treating herpes is disclosed which uses at least one LED emitting red light, preferably an array of LED's which can be directed to concentrate the light. The voltage can be varied to vary the intensity of the light, and the lights can be pulsed. [0008] U. S. Pat. No. 5,358,503 discloses a photo-thermal therapeutic device using arrays of LED's for the simultaneous or selective treatment of areas of skin and adjacent subcutaneous structure in human subjects, utilizing photo energy and therapeutic heat. The LED array is held in a flexible or preformed holder to provide contact with the skin. Heat as well as light are provided through the LED's, and the intensity of the light and heat can be varied. Resistors cause each LED to act as a heat sink during photo-therapy treatments. This patent cites U. S. Pat. Nos. 4,535,784 and 5,024,236 which disclose photo-therapy applied to human accupuncture points. [0009] U. S. Pat. No. 5,913,884 to Boston General Hospital discusses a method for modulating wound healing in a mammal, which employs arrays of LED or laser irradiation applied after the administration of the appropriate photo-sensitizer, which activates the light process. [0010] U. S. Pat. No. 5,634,711 discloses hand-held portable light emitting devices suitable for photo-curing and photo-therapy applications. LED arrays are used, with means for varying the level of light energy. [0011] U. S. Pat. No. 4,930,504 discloses devices and methods for bio-stimulation of tissue, comprising arrays of monochromatic radiation sources of multiple wavelengths. The radiation sources are arranged within the arrays so that radiation of at least two different wavelengths passes directly or indirectly through a single point within the treated tissue. Laser diodes or super-luminous diodes can be used as radiation sources. Controls are provided to turn the device on or off, vary pulse frequency and duration and time the duration of treatment. Columns 7 and 8 of the patent discuss “two-photon events” which are described as being produced by mixing of radiation of multiple wavelengths. [0012] U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,233 to Biolight Patent Holding AB discloses devices for healing wounds and sores by photo-therapy. Arrays of LED's are held close to or in contact with the affected areas. LED's emitting infrared and red light are included, and can be pulsed in predetermined sequences for therapeutic purposes. [0013] U. S. Pat. No. 5,278,432 to Quantum Devices, Inc. discloses apparatus for providing radiant energy, including LED arrays with power-regulating circuits, to enhance and test plant growth. Several sets of series-connected LED's are arranged on a substrate and the light intensity can be varied by the power-regulating circuit. [0014] U. S. Pat. No. 5,913,883 discloses a therapeutic device for supplying beneficial light to organic tissue including a carrier (in the form of a human mask) containing an array of single frequency LED's. The power supply provides a fluctuating or pulsating output voltage. [0015] U. S. Pat. No. 4,646,743 to Parris discloses therapy radiation apparatus for veterinary medicine which include arrays of infrared LED's. The LED arrays can be mounted in flexible means for wrapping about the outer surfaces of an animal, or in the form of rigid probes for irradiating internal surfaces. Devices referring to this patent are produced commercially under the BIOSCAN™ trademark. [0016] U. S. Pat. No. 5,660,461 to Quantum Devices, Inc. discloses LED arrays assembled from pluralities of modular units which are snapped together. Reflector units are provided to direct the radiation. The modules can be electrically connected together in series or parallel. The arrays can be used to stimulate plant growth or for photo-dynamic therapy. [0017] U. S. Pat. No. 5,445,608 discusses various methods of photo-dynamic therapy, and discloses methods and apparatus for providing such therapy by employing an implantable probe to illuminate internal treatment sites which have been perfused with photo-reactive agents. The apparatus can include arrays of LED's or solid-state laser diodes. [0018] Review of a selected portion of the patents discussed above documents that photo-therapy has become an accepted and established modality for the noninvasive and safe treatment of [0019] burns, cuts and abrasions, [0020] muscle, tissue and tendon repair, [0021] cancerous tumors, [0022] herpes, [0023] arthritis and other inflammations, [0024] the stimulation or sedation of acupressure meridian points in humans and animals, [0025] bone fracture repair, and [0026] stimulation of plant growth. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0027] It is a primary object of the present invention to improve upon the prior art devices and expand the usefulness of the methodology of photo/light therapy. [0028] The present invention is an improvement of recent patented photo-therapy devices as well as photo-therapy devices we have been testing for approximately three years. Preferred embodiments of present day photo-therapy devices have certain limitations. Firstly, they are designed to be used “on or near the skin surface” in order to be effective. This is a drawback in many scenarios—such as in large ranching operations where it is typical for livestock (cow, bull, horse) to injure itself on the range—perhaps a few miles to hundreds of miles from the nearest clinic. An animal of 1000-3000 pounds in pain and duress needs to be considered dangerous and puts the practitioner at considerable risk. The present invention allows for the therapeutic treatment to take place at a distance of approximately � foot to several feet away, thus assuring the safety of the practitioner while bringing pain relief and healing to the animal being treated. [0029] Also in the case of severe burns where infection is an acute problem and rapid skin rejuvenation can make the difference between life and death, the present invention can effectively be used at a more comfortable distance from the patient's skin surface without excessive pain from close contact of “on or near the skin surface” of other prior art photo-therapy devices. There is documentation that treatment with photo-therapy increases the healing process to take place much faster than without photo-therapy being applied, and therefore raises skin resistance to infection and other septic/toxic poisoning. (Hospitals refer to slow healing as “dysfunctional healing” because it allows for depressed immune systems, surgical complications, joint contracture, scar tissue growth, and even depression to set in before significant healing can begin). [0030] Another advantage of having the capability or option of working from a distance is that the LED's (unlike lasers) diffuse as the unit gets further and further away from the object being illuminated. Thus a larger area—double, triple or more—can effectively be covered. This allows for a manufacturing savings because an LED unit having a 6 inch radius, when positioned on or near a surface, can only illuminate about 6-8 inches. However, the same 6 inch radius LED unit, working from a distance of several feet, can illuminate an area of 12 inches, 24 inches, 40 inches, etc., depending on the amount of power (energy level in watts), high intensity of the LED's, and the time treatment duration. (Increased duration or time of treatment needs to be adjusted, the further from the surface). [0031] Another advantage of the present invention is the ability of the user to program or compose his/her own settings—which may effectively need to vary from one individual to another, instead of being limited to the pre-determined settings of other prior art devices. A separate computer might be connected to the light-emitting device for this purpose. [0032] Yet another advantage is the “flicker fusion phenomenon”, a theta wave setting at about 3-5 hertz which causes brain neurotransmitters (chemicals and electromagnetic charges) to be produced and fired off to give a relaxation effect, a drop in heart rate, drooping eyelids, etc. Many tests which were carried out in the 1950's, especially in mental institutes, indicated that the “relaxation effect” was an important ingredient in the overall health and mental stability of the patient. More recent tests conclude that relaxation (also accomplished through guided visualizations, music of nature sounds such as running water and birds chirping, hypnosis and meditation techniques) enhance traditional healing modalities (drug therapy and surgery) especially in cases of heart attack and terminal illnesses and such relaxation practices are presently being offered in some major hospitals such as Columbia Presbyterian in New York City. [0033] Another advantage of this invention is that one program setting is the “Wave Effect Frequency”—alternating colors rippling in succession from head to foot, again and again. (i.e., IR, then red, then orange, then green, then blue in slow succession, rapid succession or slow to rapid succession). This unit might be embodied in something resembling a tanning bed. [0034] Another improvement is the pre-set program to control a decrease or increase in power outage. Some requirements might call for “soft” energy (low wattage amount delivered over a longer time duration) while others call for a “bursting” effect (high wattage delivery for short durations). [0035] Yet another advantage is that the use of high intensity IR diodes inexpensively adds a hypothermia effect without the additional cost of heat sinks, resistors, etc. (which add expense to the manufacturing process). [0036] The present invention's ability to choose only one wave frequency (color) at a time gives an added advantage. It is well accepted in therapeutic injury repair that the first 24-48 hours after an injury ice or cold compresses should be used, then heat or warmth such as an IR heat lamp, heating pad, or muscular creams such as Ben-gay or tiger balm. [0037] The present invention can allow one device for both cold and heat treatments, with the added advantage of the red-wave frequency for immediate pain relief and/or bleeding reduction, decrease in inflammation and increase in energy flow, and a predisposition to inhibit infection. In this scenario, first the red-wave frequency would be used until desired results were obtained. Thereafter, the blue wave frequency (cools, soothes, reduces irritability of skin surface) would be applied. Lastly, the IR wave frequency, which causes a thermal effect, would be applied. [0038] In case of illness or emotional trauma or stress these three wave frequencies would be more effective if used simultaneously rather than consecutively as explained above. [0039] The present invention does not preclude the addition of other modalities or art forms to be used in combination with this preferred embodiment, as research data becomes available for increased effectiveness of adding such forms. These include, but are not limited to, magnets and magnetic therapy; audio sounds, ultra-sound and audio waves; electroplated holograms/holoforms; electromagnetic devices; and words or symbols having a significant intent. [0040] Another advantage over prior art devices is in the methodology of “Whole Body Treatment”. The construction of larger units than now available and/or the capability of working at a distance away from the skin surface allows for the timely and advantageous treatment of the entire body structure rather than the limited treatment of a localized area or spot. Thus, three body systems are being covered in one usage, saving time and money. These three systems are the physical/skeletal, the acupuncture meridian, and the bio-electromagnetic energy field. (This later system has thus far been less traditionally researched by the Western World, but the encyclopedia-size book by Dr. Richard Gerber, M.D. Vibrational Medicine (Bear and Co., Santa Fe, N.M. 1988), substantiates and clinically documents the existence and importance of this “E-Field”). [0041] Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from perusal of the following detailed description, drawings and the appended claims, the drawings forming a part of the specification wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding parts in the several views.

There are 48 LED's in all, 24 LED's emitting red light at 630 nm, 12 LED's emitting infrared (IR) light at 880 nm, and 12 LED's emitting blue light at 470 nm. The LED array has 6 columns of LED's and 8 rows of LED's. In the first column of the LED array, starting with a red emitting LED, the red emitting LED appears at every other one with a blue emitting LED inbetween; thus, there are four red emitting LED's and four blue emitting LED's. In the second column of the LED array, starting with an IR LED, there appears an IR LED at every other one with a red emitting LED inbetween; thus, there are four IR LED's and four red emitting LED's. In the third column of the LED array, starting with a red emitting LED, there appears a red emitting LED at every other one with an IR LED inbetween; thus, there are four red emitting LED's and four IR LED's. In the fourth column of the LED array, starting with a blue emitting LED, there appears a blue emitting LED at every other one with a red emitting LED inbetween; thus, there are four blue emitting LED's and four red emitting LED's. The fifth column arrangement of LED's is similar to the first column arrangement of LED's and the sixth or last column arrangement of LED's is similar to the second column arrangement of LED's. The number of LED's in the array and, consequently, the size of the housing 2 may vary depending on the particular application. The red, blue and IR light emitting LED's, as well as their availability, are well known in the art and, therefore, are not explained further. [0057] Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a control box 5 which is electrically connected to LED unit 1 (shown in FIG. 1) via an electrical connection 6. The control box 4 contains circuitry therein and has several control knobs for controlling various aspects of the LED array. The circuitry and functions of the control knobs will be explained later. [0058] [0058]FIG. 3 shows a portable, hand held model 7 of the present invention. The hand held model 7 has a frusto-conical shaped housing 8 with a disk shaped support 9 for a plurality of LED's 10 arranged in a patterned array. Attached to the housing 8 is a handle 11 and a control knob 12. The handle 11 has an on/off switch 13 and an electrical connection 14 which is connected to a control box 15. This hand held model 7 is also provided with an electrical ac plug-in connector 16 for the control box 15. The LED support 9 contains 184 LED's arranged in a particular pattern. The patterned array contains 119 red emitting LED's, 40 IR emitting LED's and 25 blue emitting LED's. The particular physical spatial arrangement of LED's is shown in FIG. 3A where the red emitting LED's are designated by R in the circles, the blue emitting LED's are designated by B in the circles and the IR emitting LED's are designated by 1 in the circles. The support disk 9 has a diameter of approximately 8 inches and the length of the handle 11 is approximately 5 and ⅞ inches (these dimensions are not critical and may vary). [0059] [0059]FIG. 4 shows yet a further embodiment of the present invention. A photo-therapy device 17 takes the form of a wall panel 18. The wall panel 18 has dimensions of 3 feet by 6 feet by 3 inches; however, the size of the wall panel 18 may vary depending on the size of the subject or object being treated. The wall panel 18 has 24 LED's 19 in each column along its smaller dimension of 3 feet and 48 LED's in each row along its larger dimension of 6 feet. There are a total of 1,152 LED's in the wall panel 18; 230 LED's emitting red light at 630 nm, 230 LED's emitting IR light at 880 nm, 231 LED's emitting blue light at 470 nm, 231 LED's emitting green light at 565 nm and 230 LED's emitting amber light at 590 nm. Each LED emitting in a particular color (wavelength) would alternate in a repeated pattern, for example, blue, green, amber, red, IR (repeat, etc.). The LED's 19 in the wall panel 18 are connected to the control box 20 with its control knobs. The wall panel 18 if attached to a wall at an appropriate height and a person, animal or plant would be positioned in front of it for treatment. The subject of the photo-therapy treatment is positioned in front of the wall panel 18 for an appropriate amount of time at a distance from close proximity to several feet. For example, a wall panel 18 is hung on each side of a horse trailer (inside) and a horse placed between the wall panels 18 for treatment. Another example, a bull rider or horseback rider who is in need of treatment stands between the wall panels 18 in the horse trailer or in a similar enclosure at a competitive event and is treated for relaxation, pain relief or healing. Plants could also be placed in a room with a wall panel 18 on each side of the room and be treated by the light generating from the LED's of the wall panels in order to obtain faster and stronger plant growth. [0060] Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown another embodiment of a photo-therapy device of the present invention which is used primarily for humans. The photo-therapy device takes the form of a full body bed 22 with a hollow enclosure 23 and a lid 24 and LED's embedded within the hollow enclosure 23 and lid 24. The full body bed 22 has the following dimensions: 3 feet wide, 6 � feet long and a 20 inch depth; obviously, these dimensions could vary. A control box (not shown) is built into the front side of the hollow enclosure 23 and control knobs 26 are connected to the control box. An electrical cord 27 will connect the control box to an electrical outlet or generator. There are a total of 2,304 LED's inside the full body bed 22 with 1,152 LED's on the inside of the lid 24 and 1,152 LED's on the inside floor of the hollow enclosure 23. On the inside of the lid 24, there are 230 LED's emitting red light at 630 nm, 230 LED's emitting IR light at 880 nm, 231 LED's emitting blue light at 479 nm, 565 LED's emitting green light at 565 nm and 230 LED's emitting amber light at 590 nm. The numbers of specific LED's emitting in a particular wavelength on the inside of the hollow enclosure 23 are the same as those on the inside of the lid 24. Each LED for a given wavelength alternates in a repeated pattern, for example, blue, green, amber, red and IR. A person for treatment would lie down in the full body bed 22, face up, with the lid 24 partially closed; the photo-therapy treatment would provide a relaxation effect, pain reduction or healing of the person. This embodiment of the invention could also be used in a hospital or nursing home for the treatment of bedsores or it can be combined with piped-in music and thus produce a “wave effect” for deep relaxation or pain relief after an operation. It could also be used to stimulate the immune system of a human with a disease such as cancer, etc. FIG. 5 shows the full body bed 22 with the lid 24 in the fully open position whereas FIG. 5A shows a patient 28 lying within the full body bed 22 for treatment with the lid 24 being partially closed. [0061] [0061]FIG. 6 shows an application of the hand held model 7 of the present photo-therapy device being applied in close proximity to a small body area of a patient P being treated whereas FIG. 6B shows the photo-therapy device being applied to a larger body area of a patient P being treated, the latter application demonstrating a diffusion effect of the device. [0062] [0062]FIGS. 7 and 7 A are circuit diagrams showing how the LED's of the various embodiments of this invention are connected to a control box with control knobs for controlling or regulating the operation of the LED arrays in the various embodiments. The circuit diagrams show the general scheme of a photo-therapy device of this invention that is designed to provide a luminous pattern for a specific therapeutic application. The geometric pattern and color(s) of the LED array, the frequency and duty cycle of the LED array and the total time of operation of the photo-therapy device can be varied to satisfy the requirements of an intended therapeutic application. [0063] For example, FIG. 7 shows a circuit diagram for a photo-therapy device of the present invention which operates three different light source types (LED 1, LED 2 and LED 3) each of which is energized independently by a processor 29 (or microprocessor) via a switch network 30. The series strings of a particular light source type (LED 1, LED 2 and LED 3) are divided into two groups, A and B, as shown in the circuit diagram. Each group A and B of series light strings will normally be switched on and off in an alternate fashion to minimize the maximum power requirements of the system. Each series of light strings A and B is energized by a constant current source 31 that insures proper operation of the photo-therapy device under varying conditions of temperature and supply voltage. In some therapeutic applications, the value of the constant current can be modified under the control of the processor 29 to conform to a custom pattern. The processor operation is controlled by the operator of the photo-therapy device by the setting of the control switch positions for TIME, FREQUENCY, PATTERN and CUSTOM. The TIME control switch will set the desired period of operation, the FREQUENCY control switch will set the alternating on/off rate between the A and B groups of light strings, the PATTERN control switch will directly select which light source type(s) (LED 1, LED 2 or LED 3) to be energized or will select the CUSTOM mode of operation, and the CUSTOM control switch will select which pattern from the pattern memory module 32 that the processor 29 is to perform In this mode, the processor 29 can vary the time, frequency, power level and light source strings in any prearranged (programmed) sequence. For example, the processor 29 can be preprogrammed to provide the following patterns of illumination: a) each color set on individually, b) all color sets on simultaneously, c) at least two color sets on simultaneously and d) at least two color sets on for preset periods of time. The processor 29 may also be programmed to sequentially pulse the LED sets of the photo-therapy device to emit light of different colors. The control circuit may also be adjusted for pulsed operation of at least two sets of LED's with pulse durations of in the range of from about 0.001 sec. to about 0.2 sec. and pulse repetition rates in the range of from about 4 Hz to about 10,000 Hz. The pulse duration may be approximately half the period of each cycle. The processor 29 can also provide indications of low battery level and an elapsed time of operation in the form of a lamp and, if enabled, an audible beep. For an indication of the elapsed time of operation, the treatment timer may be connected to a visual or audio means for indicating the remaining treatment time. Although the means for indicating low battery level and elapsed time of operation are not shown, the addition of such means to the circuitry and equipment of the present invention would be obvious to one skilled in the art and is, therefore, not detailed here. [0064] The operation of each of the photo-therapy devices disclosed herein is started by depressing the START/STOP push button 33 shown schematically in FIG. 7 and a second depression of the pushbutton 33 will stop the operation independently of the time setting. [0065] Typical applications of the photo-therapy devices described above do not preclude the use of keyboards for operator input, alternate displays for status information or the use of an external computer for control of the operation of the devices. [0066] The block diagram of FIG. 7 shows the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) which operate over the application-specific spectrum. However, the general scheme is not limited to LED's but other light sources may be used such as incandescent lamps. The light sources are shown in a series connection to improve electrical efficiency. Light sources of the same or different colors may be grouped as required for a particular application,. Light sources for the photo-therapy devices of this invention may include both the visible and invisible portions of the frequency spectrum. Although FIG. 7 shows that all the light sources in a given group are enabled at the same time, individual control of series strings is not precluded. [0067] The block diagram shown in FIG. 7A shows the light sources being driven by constant current sources on the low voltage side of the power supply. However, control from the high voltage side of the power supply is not precluded. A typical constant current source operating on the low voltage side of the power supply is shown in the block diagram of FIG. 7A and consists of an operational amplifier U1, an FET transistor Q1 and a resistor R1. U1 will cause Q1 to conduct enough current Ir to satisfy the relationship Vs=Vr=Ir�R1 or Iled=Ir=Vs/R1. Thus, the current through the LED's, i.e., Iled, is a function of Vs and R1 and independent of the varying characteristics of the LED's as a function of temperature, power levels and individual parts. The value of Vs is determined by the switch position (SW1A, SW1B, etc.) and is either the output of the digital-to-analog converter D/A or 0 volts. Since both the switch and the converter D/A are under control of the processor 29, the individual light source strings can be turned on and off at various power levels as required by the program. [0068] The power supply for the block diagram circuit of FIG. 7 is normally a direct current (DC) voltage source converted from the normal house supply or a battery. Alternative well known power sources can also be used. The power to drive the photo-therapy devices of this invention ranges from 10 W/cm2 to 30 W/cm2. [0069] Modifications of this invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art and it is intended that the invention be not limited by the embodiments disclosed herein but that the scope of the invention be defined by the appended claims.

apache - Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call : encodedRequest cannot be empty - Stack Overflow
My GWT application is deployed in a servlet container Apache Tomcat 6.0.37, which is linked with the Apache HTTP Server by using connectors Coyote/JK2 (native module mod_jk/1.2.37). In addition, I use the module mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4 for SSO.
Found the problem - when I send a request to the server from IE 8 (requests from Firefox, for example, are successful) page is not displayed and in the Tomcat logs the following -
at org.spring4gwt.server.SpringGwtRemoteServiceServlet.processCall(SpringGwtRemoteServiceServlet.java:32)
at gov.department.it.server.RequestInterceptorFilter.doFilter(RequestInterceptorFilter.java:90)
I've found this the topic, which describes a similar problem - GWT IllegalArgumentException: encodedRequest cannot be empty
However, I could not find the registry key DisableNTLMPreAuth, although it is not a solution if a lot of people with IE 8. I have installed and configured the Native Windows Authentication Framework WAFFLE
<filter-name>NegotiateSecurityFilter</filter-name>
<param-value>NTLM</param-value>
<url-pattern>/my-app/*</url-pattern>
In worker.properties I set socket_keepalive=0, but it did not help -

When I find a solution, I'll write here.
You have rediscovered the 7 year old bug #1 in mod_auth_sspi which has affected numerous projects, frustrated numerous developers, and caused uncountable wasted man-hours over the years. Yet it still stands unresolved because the maintainer doesn't consider it a bug. Nor has it been addressed by Microsoft for older browsers, because indications are that IE9 doesn't have this problem.
It is caused by IE trying to be 'smart' and sending a zero content-length POST (I named it 0POST to try making it an indexable term to benefit those who rediscover it in the next 7 years.) with an NTLM auth header in anticipation of being challenged by the server. IE does this when it has been authenticated before in that protection space. So it knows that it will be challenged again. Sadly mod_auth_sspi is not as smart as IE, so bad things happen on the server side when a 0POST arrives and it is let through to the apps without being challenged. Except that sometimes this can happen even for unprotected areas, if they are under an area that requires authentication.
Other browsers don't pretend to be as smart as IE and don't try to save a few bytes on the first round trip for "performance", so they don't run into this problem. Here is Microsoft's explanation of this behavior.
Horrible Workaround
In Apache httpd.conf set SSPIPerRequestAuth On
This is equivalent to the DisableNTLMPreAuth IE client-side fix you mentioned, which is impractical for a large user group. Plus it amounts to crippling all non-Apache apps also, which may be capable of handling a 0POST. There are literally NO examples of this setting being discussed or its side effects explained on the web, so I am including this only link I found that sheds some light on it. Anyway, making one server side change seems to be the lesser of the two evils. Although now, by changing the server config, you have crippled all other innocent browsers visiting this site as well.
The problem with this workaround is that it forces EVERY request to perform an SSPI handshake which results in a lot of extra 401 traffic and can affect performance. For performance, NTLM authentication is treated as 'session-based' not 'request-based' which means that the handshake occurs only at the start of the session. When using this setting, you should also set filters to prevent your log filling up with 401s. Also note that this requires KeepAlive to be turned on. I am not sure your setup is the same as the one described in the WAFFLE fix; were they using Apache like you? I think WAFFLE applies to Tomcat, whereas you have Apache in front, so Apache is handling authentication. You might consider using that setup instead of Apache. If you can use that setup, it may be a better option than this workaround because WAFFLE has explicitly accounted for 0POST and can handle it. The author had also discovered this gem while working with GWT like you.
Interestingly, for jcifs, a fix for this very issue was posted 9 Years ago. The author also provided an excellent explanation later:
The code in the filter examines all HTTP POST requests and determines
if they contain an NTLM type 1 message. If the request contains an
NTLM type 1 message, the filter responds with a dummy type 2 message
to entertain IE's desire to re-negotiate NTLM prior to submitting any
POST data. The browser should then respond with an NTLM type 3
message along with the post data which the filter should then allow to
chain to the rest of the web application.
A simple patch was also created for mod_auth_sspi 5 years ago, if you are interested. See diff in the author's own repo. I am not sure if I agree with that approach though. It tries to detect IE/0POST, whereas I think the right fix should be to detect if the client is requesting auth with a NTLM Type 1 header, as in the jcifs filter. (Type 1 simply means that it is the first message of the handshake)
I wonder if anyone has used alternatives to mod_auth_sspi like mod_auth_ntlm_winbind and if they don't exhibit this behavior. If you have, please leave a comment. We already know WAFFLE works, but it is not a mod_auth_sspi replacement. One alternative is to forget NTLM and use Kerberos, (mod_auth_kerb) but many people find that too complicated to setup. IE will behave this way on any challenge-response scheme, so odds are that kerb auth could run into the same problem, since a similar 401 sequence happens in both cases. But being a different module, its possible it is capable of handling this.
Lastly, I should mention that there is yet another issue that this per-request auth workaround doesn't seem to fix. I haven't seen it discussed anywhere, but I have found that sometimes after the 0POST, the server waits for a very long time before it responds with the final 200 response with the results of the (proper) POST. This long delay happens only in the end though, NOT immediately in response to the 0POST. That goes fine, and the handshake completes, but the server doesn't respond until after a long wait which I have noticed is suspiciously close to 90 seconds, like some sort of timeout. The practical result of this is that when users log in, IE8 will sometimes hang for 90sec waiting for server response. I thought the KeepAlive might be causing it, but it is not even explicitly defined in my config, so I assume it is at the 15sec Apache default. But I am sure this is related to the 0POST, because it happens only right after a successful 0POST auth handshake. Our server is in a separate (2-way) trusted domain across a firewall, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Why "Content-Length: 0" in POST requests?
The most hilarious example is how IE's smartness affected Microsoft's own products! They themselves couldn't understand how to deal with IE's behavior, causing a bug in ISA Server 2006. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942638

Best bet is to certify your dog as a service animal, then as long as it is a small-to-medium breed that can chill under your legs and not disturb other passengers, to not allow the dog in the cabin with you is a violation of the ADA. (Of course you have to have an actual disability, but there is a pantheon of invisible mental illnesses which qualify). Worth looking into if you have to travel with your dog frequently.

Android resources not loading - Stack Overflow
Hey there, i'm dealing with resources issue for a while and i cannot figure it out. The thing is that my resources(shapes, gradients, layouts) don't load up in application like they should. For instance: My "layout.xml" file (main layout for activity)
android:id="@+id/favourite_rest"
android:background="@drawable/activ_favourite_bck"
And layout for background: "activ_favourite_bck.xml"
android:startColor="#55555555"
android:centerColor="#77777777"
android:endColor="#55555555"
In this case when i run my application, brackground is pure black like no background is set, but when i rename the file with background definition from activ_favourite_bck.xml to "halabala.xml" ( with changing reference in main layout android:background="@drawable/halabala") the background is there and everything is working fine. But i don't want to name my resources like retard so it works. I want to name them by they purpuse so later when i have more of them there is no mess. I know there is naming convention that resource filename can contain only small characters with "_" and that's what i'm fallowing.
Note: the file is recognized by IDE, there are no errors during building and i can reference file from code.
I'm woring with android 1.6 api, but i tried changing to 2.0, 2.2.. with no success. I also tried various phone types and emulator and i tried changing IDE from eclipse to IDEA and nothing helps. I tried rebuilding project, refreshing everything that can be refreshed:) i tried to wipe the application from devices with no effect. Is anybody facing similar issue like me? Btw. the same thing is going on when i put some picture(png) in drawable folder and i'm referencing it from xml. Some pictures are recognized (and shown in running application) and some not( they are recognized only after renaming to sometning else).

Does anything show up in logCat?
Jan 30 '11 at 17:32
logCat doesn't mention issue with resources or something relevant, but i noticed that if i move background definition from drawable folder into layout folder, problem dissapears and everything works fine. It is kind of a solution but i don't really like it. I don't know how it will work for images (not mentioning handling images with different resolution).
– Marek Gerhart
Jan 30 '11 at 22:26
After couple of hours i worked this out. I probaly accidentally removed folder drawable-mdpi. After creating it and copying images there everything works just fine.
Try adding an arbitrary image called a.png or some such (so it sorts alpha above your real drawable) ...
Android: Any idea why cannot load drawable object?
Android - getIdentifier always returns 0 (library +application)

Danny twists the key of an old science fiction game. The game unleashes a localized meteor shower and wrenches Danny's house into orbit around a distant ringed planet. Besides Danny, his brother Walter and sister Lisa have to go along. Soon a defective robot, a rangy astronaut, and an alien spaceship enter the picture. The only way the kids can return their house to its proper space-time coordinates is to finish the game, but before they can finish, the game board falls into the hands of some rather nasty, carnivorous lizards.
