Considering the budget nature of the hotel it is surprisingly convenient to the key tourist attractions of the tapestry and cathedral.
Price, very reasonable.
Size of bathroom. Quality of breakfast
Cooloongup, Western Australia,
Handy location to the town and major roads to/from Bayeux. On site parking. Nice breakfast selection for continental style.
Very small bathroom cubicle. No fridge. Stuffiness of corridor and room smelt of smoke despite being a non-smoking room.
The budget price, how quiet it was, clean comfortable room. Plenty of free parking if I had a car.
outside of town, pretty good walk to city center. Desk closes from 11AM to 5PM.

an inclined groove portion which is inclined to both said rotation transfer groove and said relative rotation allowing groove, said rotation transfer projection being engaged in said inclined groove portion when said rotation transfer projection is engaged in said rotation transfer groove. Description
The assignee of the present invention has proposed a lens barrel retracting mechanism of a retractable zoom lens, which makes it possible to achieve a remarkable reduction in length of the retractable zoom lens when fully retracted, in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/368,342. This lens barrel retracting mechanism has been incorporated in digital cameras commercially available under the trademark of �Optio S�.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a retractable lens system in which an optical element of a photographing optical system is radially-retracted from a position on a common optical axis of the photographing optical system to a different position outside of the optical axis and the radially-retracted optical element is moved rearward along the optical axis from the photographing position thereof when the retractable lens system is retracted to a retracted position, wherein the retractable lens system has a structure making it possible to achieve further reduction in length of the retractable lens system when it is retracted to the retracted position.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a zoom lens according to the present invention in different states. An upper half of the zoom lens 10 from an optical axis of a photographing optical system of the zoom lens 10 shown in FIG. 1 shows a state of the zoom lens 10 at the wide-angle extremity, a lower half of the zoom lens 10 from the optical axis of the photographing optical system of the zoom lens 10 shown in FIG. 1 shows a state of the zoom lens 10 at the telephoto extremity, and FIG. 2 shows a state of the zoom lens in a retracted position (fully retracted position). The zoom lens 10 is incorporated in a digital camera (the camera body thereof is not shown in the drawings). As shown in FIG. 1, the photographing optical system of the zoom lens 10 in a ready-to-photograph state of the zoom lens 10 consists of a first lens group LG1, a second lens group LG2, a shutter S, a third lens group (radially-retractable optical element) LG3, a fourth lens group LG4, a low-pass filter (optical filter) 11, and a CCD image sensor (solid-state image pick-up device) 12. The first lens group LG1, the second lens group LG2 and the third lens group LG3 are driven along a photographing optical axis Z1 in a predetermined moving manner to perform a zooming operation, while the fourth lens group L4 is driven along the photographing optical axis Z1 to perform a focusing operation. In the following description, the term �optical axis direction� refers to a direction parallel to the photographing optical axis Z1 unless otherwise stated.
As can be appreciated from FIGS. 1 and 2, the zoom lens 10 is a telescopic type having three external telescoping barrels: a first external barrel (optical element support frame) 37, a second external barrel 34 and a third external barrel (rotating drive member) 26, which are concentrically arranged about the photographing optical axis Z1. The helicoid ring 25 moves together with the third external barrel 26 in the optical axis direction while rotating about the photographing optical axis Z1. The helicoid ring 25 is provided, on an inner peripheral surface thereof at three different circumferential positions on the helicoid ring 25, with three rotation transfer recesses (engaging recesses) 25 d, the front ends of which are open at the front end of the helicoid ring 25. The third external barrel 26 is provided, at corresponding three different circumferential positions on the third external barrel 26, with three pairs of rotation transfer projections (engaging projections) 26 a which project rearward from the rear end of the third external barrel 26 to be engageable in the three rotation transfer recesses 25 d from the front thereof, respectively (see FIG. 13). The three pairs of rotation transfer projections 26 a and the three rotation transfer recesses 25 d are movable relative to each other in the direction of the photographing optical axis Z1, and are not rotatable relative to each other about the photographing optical axis Z1. Namely, the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 rotate integrally. The helicoid ring 25 is provided, on front faces of the three rotational guide projections 25 b at three different circumferential positions on the helicoid ring 25, with a set of three engaging recesses 25 e which are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the helicoid ring 25 to be open at the front end of the helicoid ring 25. The third external barrel 26 is provided, at corresponding three different circumferential positions on the third external barrel 26, with a set of three engaging projections 26 b which project rearward from the rear end of the third external barrel 26, and which also project radially outwards, to be engaged in the set of three engaging recesses 25 e from the front thereof, respectively. The set of three engaging projections 26 b, which are respectively engaged in the set of three engaging recesses 25 e, are also engaged in the set of three rotational guide grooves 13 d at a time, respectively, when the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b are engaged in the set of three rotational guide grooves 13 d. The third external barrel 26 and the helicoid ring 25 are biased in opposite directions away from each other in the optical axis direction by compression coil springs (not shown). These compression coil springs are installed between the third external barrel 26 and the helicoid ring 25 in a compressed fashion. Therefore, the set of three engaging projections 26 b of the third external barrel 26 are respectively pressed against front guide surfaces of the rotational guide grooves 13 d therein by the spring force of the compression coil springs. At the same time, the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b of the helicoid ring 25 are respectively pressed against rear guide surfaces of the rotational guide grooves 13 d therein by the spring force of the compression coil springs.
The above described rotating-advancing operations of the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 are performed only when the male helicoid 25 a and the female helicoid 13 a are engaged with each other. At this time, the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b are moving in the set of three inclined grooves 13 c, respectively. When the helicoid ring 25 is moved forward by a predetermined amount of movement, the male helicoid 25 a and the female helicoid 13 a are disengaged from each other so that the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b move from the set of three inclined grooves 13 c into the set of three rotational guide grooves 13 d, respectively. Since the helicoid ring 25 does not move in the optical axis direction relative to the stationary barrel 13 even if rotating upon the disengagement of the male helicoid 25 a from the female helicoid 13 a, the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 rotate at respective axial fixed positions thereof without moving in the optical axis direction due to the slidable engagement of the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b with the set of three rotational guide grooves 13 d. Furthermore, after a lapse of a predetermined period of time from the moment at which the set of three rotational guide projections 25 b slide into the set of three rotational guide grooves 13 d from the set of three inclined grooves 13 c, respectively, the set of three roller followers 32 enter the second lead slot portions 30 e-3 from the first lead slot portions 30 e-2 of the set of three through slots 30 e, respectively. Since the second lead slot portion 30 e-3 of each through slot 30 e is inclined to the first linear guide ring 30 in a direction away from the associated first lead slot portion 30 e-2 and approaching the front end (upper end as viewed in FIG. 15) of the first linear guide ring 30, further rotation of the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 at respective axial fixed positions thereof in a lens barrel advancing direction causes each roller follower 32 to move forward in the second lead slot portion 30 e-3 of the associated through slot 30 e. Namely, the cam ring 31 is moved forward while rotating relative to the first linear guide ring 30 in accordance with contours of the second lead slot portions 30 e-3 of the set of three through slots 30 e. The helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 serve as a rotating drive member which transfers torque to the cam ring 31 via the engagement of the set of three roller followers 32 with the set of three through slots 30 e and the engagement of the set of three roller followers 32 with the set of three rotation transfer grooves 26 c. Rotating the zoom gear 22 in a lens barrel retracting direction thereof via the zoom motor 23 causes the aforementioned movable elements of the zoom lens 10 from the stationary barrel 13 to the cam ring 31 to operate in the reverse manner to the above described advancing operations. In this reverse operation, the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 which rotate at respective axial fixed positions thereof move rearward in the optical axis direction while rotating after the male helicoid 25 a and the female helicoid 13 a are engaged with each other. The first linear guide ring 30 linearly moves in the optical axis direction without rotating at all times while following the rearward linear movement of the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26. When the set of three roller followers 32 are engaged in the first lead slot portions 30 e-2 or the second lead slot portions 32 e-3 of the set of three through slots 30 e, respectively, the cam ring 31 moves rearward in the optical axis direction relative to the helicoid 25, the third external barrel 26 and the first linear guide ring 30 by rotation of the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 in the lens barrel retracting direction thereof. At this time, each roller follower 32 moves rearward in the optical axis direction in the associated rotation transfer groove 26 c while receiving a torque from the same rotation transfer groove 26 c. Thereafter, upon moving into the circumferential slot portions 30 e-1 from the first lead slot portion 30 e-2 of the associated through slot 30 e, each roller follower 32 is disengaged from the associated rotation transfer groove 26 c at the rear opening end thereof to be engaged in the associated relative rotation allowing groove 25 f. At this time, the rotation of the helicoid ring 25 and the third external barrel 26 stops being transferred to the set of three roller followers 32, and accordingly, the cam ring 31 is moved rearward in the optical axis direction without rotating together with the helicoid ring 25, the third external barrel 26 and the first linear guide ring 30. Each roller follower 32 moves in the associated relative rotation allowing groove 25 f, and the zoom lens 10 falls into the retracted position thereof upon each roller follower 32 reaching the closed end (right end as viewed in FIG. 13) of the associated relative rotation allowing groove 25 f. The structure of the zoom lens 10 radially inside of the cam ring 31 will be discussed hereinafter. As shown in FIG. 7, the first linear guide ring 30 is provided on an inner peripheral surface thereof with a set of three pairs of first linear guide grooves 30 f which are formed at different circumferential positions to extend parallel to the photographing optical axis Z1, and a set of six second linear guide grooves 30 g which are formed at different circumferential positions to extend parallel to the photographing optical axis Z1. Each pair of first linear guide grooves 30 f are respectively positioned on the opposite sides of the associated second linear guide groove 30 g (every second linear guide groove 30 g) in a circumferential direction of the first linear guide ring 30. The zoom lens 10 is provided inside of the first linear guide ring 30 with a second linear guide ring 33. The second linear guide ring 33 is provided on an outer edge thereof with a set of three bifurcated projections 33 a (see FIG. 8) which project radially outwards from a ring portion 33 b of the second linear guide ring 33. Each bifurcated projection 33 a is provided at a radially outer end thereof with a pair of radial projections which are respectively engaged in the associated pair of first linear guide grooves 30 f. On the other hand, a set of six radial projections 34 a (see FIG. 11) which are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the second external barrel 34 at a rear end thereof and project radially outwards are engaged in the set of six second linear guide grooves 30 g to be slidable therealong, respectively. Therefore, each of the second linear guide ring 33 and the set of six radial projections 34 a of the second external barrel 34 is guided in the optical axis direction via the first linear guide ring 30. The zoom lens 10 is provided inside of the cam ring 31 with a second lens group moving frame (optical element support frame) 35 which indirectly supports and holds the second lens group LG2. The first external barrel 37 indirectly supports the first lens group LG1, and is positioned inside of the second external barrel 34. The zoom lens 10 is provided radially inside of the cam ring 31 with a third lens group moving frame (linearly movable frame) 36. The second linear guide ring 33 serves as a linear guide member for guiding both the second lens group moving frame 35 that supports the second lens group LG2 and the third lens group moving frame 36 that supports the third lens group LG3 linearly without rotating the second lens group moving frame 35 and the third lens group moving frame 36, while the set of six radial projections 34 a of the second external barrel 34 serve as linear guide members for guiding the first external barrel 37 linearly without rotating.

In this book, the second of his three-volume history, Gary Dorrien explores American theological liberalism in its heyday--at the advent of the research university and the institutionally identified school. He argues that in its prime theological liberalism effected a creative blending of theological schools, featured a tension between its evangelical and modernist impulses, and was fueled by its expectation of social and cultural progress, until its optimism was subjected to withering internal criticism in the 1930s.

Classic fm must be jumping for joy at all this endless Schubert, as they do every evening with the repeat of Composer of the Week and yes, even this was about Schubert. Getting home from work is bad enough without having to listen to a lecture. Don't get me wrong it's a good programme just in the wrong slot. I'm off to break all my Schubert CDs, LPs and 78s
BBC - Proms - Reviews - Prom 76: The Last Night of the Proms
11:34am on 12 Sep 2010
Whilst I do agree with many of the scathing comments that have been made so far, I do feel the Last Night was a considerable improvement on recent offerings. Katie Derham for example was a vast improvement over Clive Anderson or Alan Titchmarsh; at least Katie could step between autocue and improvised comments in a relaxed and professional manner. I know we can’t go back to Richard Baker days with the Second Half of the Last Night, I do feel the concert has been sanitised too much. Where are all the flags, where are all the streamers, where is all the unpredictable fun that the evening used to contain. We seem to be lacking three things:1.	A conductor prepared to let their hair down and enjoy all the frivolity and, if capable, add to it. How about Charles Hazlewood?2.	An audience not vacuumed of all the set dressings such as flags, streamers etc.3.	THE SEA SONGSThe exclusion of Wood’s Sea Songs shows you haven’t quite got the Last Night and why it used to work so well. The inclusion of a shanty was a mere nod in the direction you should go and bring the Sea Songs back, but never with those ghastly amateur Ash Grove, Danny Boy and All Through the Night regional additions. Thank you at least for getting rid of that embarrassment.Also, I thought the direction was better by the way it excluded the ‘out of sync’ shots of Hyde Park singing along seconds behind the RAH and the “hello mum” reactions once they realised they were on the telly! Lastly, put Jerusalem back towards the end of the evening, it makes no sense where it is at the moment. It is a quiet, hopeful and eulogistic hymn that should end the evening and not be stuck somewhere in the middle.

The Young and the Tested - The Washington Post
The Young and the Tested
If there was one group of players that defined last year's girls soccer season, it was the freshmen. Rarely has such a talented group had such an immediate impact.
For opponents, these eight were more than enough.
The group--Watkins Mill's Noelle Keselica, Potomac School's Jenna Linden, National Cathedral's Phela Townsend, Leonardtown's April Lockley, St. Andrews's Carolyn Ford, Damascus's Melissa Penney, Severna Park's Erin Dubina and Mount Hebron's Julie Napolitano--started every game last year and were integral to their respective school's success.
So how is that so many sophomores are able to contribute right away, especially to the extent of these eight? Most coaches agree it's a combination of talent, coaching and the fact that, with the rise of so many club teams, many of the area's top players are on the field almost year-round.
"The entire metropolitan area is benefiting from a lot of these kids playing on prominent select clubs outside of school for the past five or six years and now the high school teams are reaping the rewards," National Cathedral Coach Richie Burke said.
Of the eight, Keselica kicked her way to the head of the class, becoming the lone freshman to be selected first-team All-Met after recording 35 goals and 12 assists. She was the first freshman selected All-Met since Melissa Deland of Potomac School in 1994.
The 15-year-old midfielder dazzled with her array of offensive moves and her strong defensive skills.
"She's an incredible player, one of the best players I've seen," Wootton Coach Terri Beach said. "Her presence is felt all over the field."
Her presence was also felt by Watkins Mill. The year before Keselica arrived the Wolverines were 1-10-1. Last year they improved to 8-6-1, and averaged 2.3 goals per game. Keselica scored a season-high five goals in a 7-3 win over Gaithersburg in the regional quarterfinals before the Wolverines were eliminated by eventual champion Wootton in the Maryland 4A West regional semifinals.
Perhaps no one was more surprised at her success than Keselica, who was held scoreless only twice last season. "I did not think I could do anything like I did," Keselica said. "I'm not one with that attitude to take over games. I just play to have fun. My teammates helped me tremendously--they gave me good balls."
Virginia public schools play in the spring, and Maryland public schools and private schools throughout the area play in the fall.
School: Severna Park
Strengths: Dubina is an exceptionally quick forward and a solid finisher. She was second on the third-ranked Falcons in scoring last season with 16 goals and nine assists.
Impact on team: She combined with senior Holly Noga (17 goals) to create one of the most formidable offensive duos in Maryland.
Background: She plays with the under-16 Bethesda Fury and under-15 Maryland Olympic Development team. Dubina is also a talented Irish dancer, competing in the Oireachtas Rince na Cruinneworld -- the World Championships of Irish Step Dancing -- the past two years with her sisters, Meghan, 18, a senior at Spalding, and Katy, 19, a sophomore at Lehigh University. The dancing has helped her in soccer. "It helps me with my foot speed and builds up my leg muscles," Dubina said. The sophomore believes that last year's Maryland 4A girls soccer state final, which the Falcons lost, 2-1, to Wootton, was a lot more pressure than the world championships. "It was [more stressful] because the whole team was there and you are doing it for the whole team and not just for yourself," Dubina said.
What needs to be worked on: "I want to improve my all-around play and be more of a positive influence for my teammates. I want to increase my work effort in practice and games and to outwork my opponents," she said.
Strengths: Ford can pass, shoot, score, defend and is exceptional taking balls from the air. Depending on the situation, St. Andrew's Coach Glenn Whitman will put her at center back.
"We look for her to do everything," Whitman said. "We need her to score, assist and dominate the midfield. Physically, she can dominate her position better than anyone I've seen in the area."
Impact on team: A second-team All-Met, Ford had a team-leading 20 goals and 15 assists to help send the Lions to the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference championship last season. "She brings the intense desire to win and it picks up everyone around her," Whitman said. "She has great balance between being a superstar and a team player. She's a superstar, but first and foremost she's a team player. That's why were successful."
Background: Ford plays on the under-15 Bethesda Fury, which won the prestigious U.S. Youth Soccer Region 1 championship over the summer, and co-captained the Maryland under-15 Olympic Development team. Ford is a candidate to be selected for the under-15 girls national team player pool. "I need to play as well as I can and really focus to have a chance," she said. Ford also speaks fluent Flemish, the native tongue of northern Belgium. She lived and went to a local school in Leuven, Belgium, in 1991, and returns there in the summers.
What needs to be worked on: "She's going to have to learn to be more tactically savvy to respond to double- and triple-teams," Whitman said. Ford said: "I need to dribble under control and work on my fitness."
School: Potomac School
Strengths: Coach Bobby Johnston calls her "an all-around, strong, prototypical striker." Her ability to score and pass makes her one of the area's most versatile threats.
Impact on team: She led the Panthers in scoring (19 goals) and assists (11), helping the McLean school win the Independent School League tournament last season.
Background: Linden, 15, plays on the under-17 Bethesda Falcons and the under-16 Maryland Olympic Development team, as well as the regional Olympic Development team. She also played on the school's varsity basketball and lacrosse teams. She started at age 4, playing on a boys team. "I played with [boys] until I was 9," Linden said. "I like playing against guys more because it is more of a challenge. They are so much quicker and tougher, it teaches you lessons and you have to be quicker on the ball."
What needs to be worked on: "I'm kind of a lazy player so I need to work on that and I need to improve my decision-making. . . . If I play the ball somewhere, I turn around and see a better option," Linden said.
School: Leonardtown
Position: Outside left midfielder
Strengths: "Her speed and aggressiveness and she has great composure and self-confidence," Coach Jennifer Henderson said. Lockley has tremendous speed down the left flank and was a constant problem last season for opposing defenses.
Impact on team: She scored one goal and had an assist in a 2-1 win against North Carroll that helped the Raiders become the first Southern Maryland Athletic Conference team to win a girls soccer state title. "No one knew about me since I was a freshman," Lockley said. "Coach Henderson said I was the secret weapon last year."
Background: Lockley, 14, plays on the under-17 Southern Maryland Blitz and ran indoor and outdoor track for the Raiders. She started playing soccer when she was about 10 in Omaha. "I had moved to a new town and some girls I had met played. I wanted to meet new people," Lockley said. In her free time, Lockley has begun to ride horses at Moment in Time, an equestrian center in Leonardtown. Although her ball control is effortless, it's a different story in the saddle. "The horse does not always want to listen to you," she said.
What needs to be worked on: Heading. "Last year she would rarely head [the ball]," Henderson said. "She would just trap it with her thigh."
School: Watkins Mill
Strengths: Her ability to play offense and defense. She's a tremendous offensive player with a repertoire of moves that makes her almost impossible to defend. On defense, the All-Met is just as valuable. "Her moves are just unbelievable," Watkins Mill Coach Troy Bowers said. "I saw her blow by five people in a seven-yard space and, despite running with the ball, she pulls away from them [the defenders] and scores a goal."
Impact on team: Keselica thinks it is her ability to foster the team's cohesion. "I heard years before they had problems coming together and playing but people said I did a good job bringing people together," Keselica said.
Background: She plays on the under-15 Bethesda Fury, which won the Region I title this summer. She played junior varsity basketball last season but plans to concentrate on soccer and academics this year. The first time she picked up a soccer ball was at age 6 with the guidance of her father. "He's the one that threw the idea of soccer at me," Keselica said.
What needs to be worked on: Speed."I'm not as fast as I should be. I'm trying to go outside and do sprints and do workouts from trainers to work on my speed," Keselica said.
Strengths: Napolitano has excellent vision, good composure in the attacking penalty area, is a fierce competitor and, at 5 feet 5 and about 120 pounds, has a strong physical presence. "She scored some goals last year because she could take that deep breath, take her time and see exactly where to put the ball," Mount Hebron Coach Jonathan Davis said. "She's a sophomore, but in her ability and leadership, she's older."
Impact on team: An honorable mention All-Met, Napolitano scored 12 goals -- second on the team behind senior Katie Elliott's 16 -- and had seven assists to help lead the Vikings to an 11-5 record. "We won games because she was there," Davis said. "Now she's bigger and stronger. I expect for her to help everyone else get involved."
Background: Napolitano, 14, plays on the Bethesda Dragons in the under-17 premier division. She also participated on the under-15 Maryland state Olympic Development Program team. "My top choice is to play college soccer at the University of North Carolina," she said.
What needs to be worked on: Her coach said Napolitano needs to be quicker getting back on defense. She said she did not always give 100 percent last season. "On my transition from offense to defense, I usually just slacked off," Napolitano said.
Strengths: Penney has tremendous vision, is an excellent passer, an accurate shooter and has a good left foot. "She really doesn't have a weakness," Damascus Coach Larry Nuzacci said. "She's calm, collected, doesn't panic and is cool with the ball."
Impact on team: An honorable mention All-Met last season, Penney led the Hornets in scoring with 23 goals and 10 assists. Her production helped Damascus post an 11-2 record, the first winning season in school history. This season, Nuzacci plans to move her to offensive midfield "to assume a more mature role and be the field general," he said. Said Penney: "I control the game at midfield. I can set up a lot of opportunities for our forwards. Last year, no one even marked me. I know people are going to key on me this year, so I'll have to deal with it."
Background: Penney plays on the under-15 Bethesda Sting of the Washington Area Girls Soccer League first division, and on the Maryland Olympic Development team. She started playing soccer when she was 5, and at 8 played on a boys team for three years. "It was fun playing with guys," Penney said. "Guys were competition. They're quicker, more aggressive and play the game a lot faster."
What needs to be worked on: Her coaches say she needs to be more accepting of the fact that not everyone on the Swarmin' Hornets has the skills she possesses. "She needs to learn to help other players," Nuzacci said.
School: National Cathedral
Position: Sweeper/midfielder
Strengths: "As a player, my strength defending is playing in the air," Townsend said. At 5 feet 7, she is an ideal sweeper who has tremendous speed and plays with intelligence. Cathedral Coach Richie Burke said she has "an incredible soccer brain." She also has a knack for finding the back of the net, scoring five goals last season.
Impact on team: In Cathedral's loss to Potomac School in the Independent School League final last season, Burke said he read his players the riot act at halftime. Townsend was the first to get up and rally the team. "She stood up and said, `Let's go back out and win this game.' She comes across a nice kid but she is a fierce competitor and that solidified her spirit and nature on this squad," Burke said.
Background: Townsend plays on the under-15 Bethesda Fury. She also plays point guard on the school's basketball team and was a defender on the girls lacrosse team. Townsend also feeds and collects goods for the homeless once a month through her local church. "I think it's really good with the environment I'm in to give that back to the community with people less unfortunate than I am," Townsend said. "It makes me feel really good."
What needs to be worked on: Being more selfish. "Maybe I'm being unselfish too much. That's what Coach [Burke] always says to me," Townsend said.

See comment in PubMed Commons belowJ Med Genet. 2005 Aug;42(8):648-55.Alternative mechanisms associated with silencing of CDKN1C in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.Diaz-Meyer N1, Yang Y, Sait SN, Maher ER, Higgins MJ.Author information1Department of Cancer Genetics, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York 14263, USA.AbstractBACKGROUND: Mutations in the imprinted gene CDKN1C account for approximately 10% of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) cases. Fibroblasts from BWS patients with loss of methylation (LOM) at the imprinting control region (ICR) KvDMR1 have reduced CDKN1C expression. Another group of BWS patients with downregulated CDKN1C expression but with normal methylation at KvDMR1 has been identified.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of CDKN1C silencing in BWS in these two classes of patients.METHODS: The CDKN1C promoter region was analysed for changes in DNA methylation using bisulphite sequencing, and for alterations in chromatin structure using the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay.RESULTS: There was only spurious CpG methylation of the CDKN1C promoter in fibroblast DNA from both normal individuals and patients with BWS, irrespective of the methylation status of KvDMR1. There was no detectable change in chromatin structure at the CDKN1C promoter in patients with LOM at KvDMR1. BWS patients with downregulated CDKN1C and normal methylation at KvDMR1 had depletion of dimethylated H3-K4 and enrichment of dimethylated H3-K9 and HP1gamma at the CDKN1C promoter, suggesting that in these cases gene silencing is associated with repressive chromatin changes.CONCLUSIONS: CDKN1C may be downregulated by multiple mechanisms including some that do not involve promoter methylation. In BWS patients with normal methylation at KvDMR1 and reduced expression of CDKN1C, repressive chromatin may play a role, but the absence of methylation and repressive chromatin structure at the CDKN1C promoter in BWS patients with LOM at KvDMR1 argues for a direct role of this epimutation in silencing CDKN1C.PMID: 16061564 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] PMCID: PMC1736119 Free PMC ArticleSharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, Substances, Grant SupportPublication TypesResearch Support, N.I.H., ExtramuralResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.MeSH TermsBeckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome/genetics*Chromatin/ultrastructureCyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p57/genetics*Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p57/metabolismDNA MethylationDown-RegulationGene Silencing*Genomic ImprintingHumansPromoter Regions, GeneticSubstancesCDKN1C protein, humanChromatinCyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p57Grant SupportCA16056/CA/NCI NIH HHS/United StatesCA89426/CA/NCI NIH HHS/United StatesLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesHighWireEBSCOEurope PubMed CentralOvid Technologies, Inc.PubMed CentralPubMed Central CanadaOther Literature SourcesCOS Scholar UniverseAccess more work from the authors - ResearchGateMedicalBeckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome - Genetic AllianceCDKN1C Gene - Genetics Home ReferenceBeckwith-Wiedemann syndrome - Genetics Home ReferenceKCNQ1OT1 Gene - Genetics Home ReferencePubMed Commons home

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 681,716, filed 12-13-84 (now abandoned), which is a continuation of Ser. No. 369,957, filed 4-19-82 (now abandoned).
The invention relates to a magnetic sensor which uses the magneto-resistance effect of two magneto-statically coupled flat layers of electrically conductive ferromagnetic material having an easy axis of magnetization in a major plane of the layer, which layers are situated a small distance apart parallel with respect to each other and give a response in the form of an electric resistance variation on application of a magnetic field having a component in the planes of the layers. A non-limitative enumeration of such materials, comprising in particular ferromagnetic nickel alloys, can be found in the article "The Anisotropy in The Magnetoresistance of Some Nickel Alloys" which is published in the periodical Physica, Vol. XXV, 1959, pages 702-720.
Sensors which are formed from a layer of these materials and use this property are essentially sensitive to the value of a magnetic flux, independent of whether said flux varies or not. They may be used in magnetic field meters, magnetic rulers and as magnetic reading heads for reading magnetic record carriers. In the latter case, they enable the reading of record carriers which are moved relative to the reading head at an arbitrary relative displacement velocity, zero velocity included. They have in addition a very extensive frequency response, from zero to a few tens of megahertz, as well as an amplitude of the reading signal which is considerably larger than that which can be obtained by inductive sensors which are sensitive only to variations of the magnetic flux.
However, ferromagnetic layers having a magneto-resistance effect suffer from the disadvantage of having a low sensitivity to small magnetic fields. U.S. Pat. No. 3,860,695 describes how this disadvantage can be mitigated by using a sensor having two flat magneto-resistive layers arranged parallel to each other, which layers are connected in series with a voltage source which has a constant voltage, while the voltages set up at their ends are supplied to a difference amplifier. The layers have equal electric and magnetic properties and thicknesses, an insulation layer of at least 30 nm being present between the layers and insulating the layers electrically from each other and producing a certain magnetostatic coupling between the layers, while the layers convey measuring currents flowing in opposite directions, the measuring current through each layer energizing the relevant layer and biasing magnetically the other layer by the magnetic field induced therein. Biasing is to be understood to mean herein that the direction of magnetization in a layer in the absence of an external magnetic field is biased so as to make an angle of approximately 45� with the direction of passage of the electric current, so that the operating point is moved towards the area having the largest inclination of the electric resistance-external field function. This means that, with a recording medium having a small magnetic signal an as large as possible resistance variation occurs. The direction of passage of the currents is always parallel to the largest dimension of each layer.
A disadvantage of this known configuration is that the measuring current must have a fixed value which is such that the magnetization directions induced in the layer indeed make an angle of approximately 45� with the current. Moreover, this involves, in practice, that the measuring current in each magnetic sensor has to be adjusted separately due to the spreading in properties of the layers.
A further disadvantage of this known configuration is that, because of the requirement that the two series-arranged magneto-resistive layers must be fully insulated from each other electrically, their separation must not be less than approximately 30 nm, because with thinner layers the possibility of undesired interconnections occurring is considerable. At this distance, the magnetostatic coupling between the layers is not optimum and a comparatively large measuring current is necessary to realize the rotation of the magnetization which is necessary for the desired biasing.
Another disadvantage is that two ends of the magneto-resistive layers of the known sensor have to be connected separately to a difference amplifier, which further complicates the manufacture of the magnetic reading head in thin film technology.
It is the object of the invention to provide a magnetic sensor or high sensitivity to small fields, which sensor combines a simple construction and a capability for using any desired measuring current, the measuring current used being moreover comparatively low.
Therefore, the sensor in accordance with the invention is characterized in that, during operation, the magneto-resistive layers convey currents flowing in the same direction and that they are connected in parallel to the input terminals of a detection circuit.
As a result of the electric parallel connection of the magneto-resistive layers, shortcircuits, if any, via the intermediate layer are of no significance, so that this intermediate layer may be made as thin as is necessary for an optimum magnetostatic coupling of the layers. The thickness will generally be smaller than 100 nm, and in particular smaller than 30 nm,--the thickness of the insulation layer of the known reading head. Thus, a considerably stronger magnetostatic coupling occurs between the layers. In particular, an electric conductor having a thickness smaller than 10 nm may now be used as an intermediate layer, so that only one of the layers need be connected to both a source of measuring current and to a reading circuit, which involves an extremely simple construction. As a result of the strong magnetostatic coupling so that the shape anisotropy is strongly reduced, the magnetizations of the layers are in all cases antiparallel. At a given low minimum value of the measuring current, the magnetization in the quiescent state of a layer must be perpendicular to the current when the easy axes of magnetization are parallel to the longitudinal axes, while for each value of the measuring current, however small, this may be the case when the easy axes of magnetization are perpendicular to the longitudinal axes.
All this means that, when a (small) external magnetic field is presented which is parallel to the direction of the magnetizations in the quiescent state in the layers, one of the magnetizations will rotate (the other one is already in the "correct" direction), whereas when a (small) magnetic field is presented which is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetizations in the quiescent state in the layers, both magnetizations will rotate to the "correct" direction. In both cases, it is found that when the parallel resistance of the layer configuration is measured the electric resistance-external magnetic field function has a very particular character.
As will be explained hereinafter this results in an extremely great sensitivity of the magnetic reading head according to the invention to small magnetic fields.
It is to be noted that a magnetoresistive reading head is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,489 which consists of a stack of successively a magneto-resistive layer, a non-magnetic, electrically conductive layer of titanium and a magnetic bias layer provided on a substrate. The fixedly adjusted current through the magneto-resistive layer and the titanium layer generates a magnetic field in the bias layer which, in turn, via magnetostatic coupling, rotates the direction of magnetization of the magneto-resistive layer to such an extent as to enclose an angle of 45� with the current. In order to simplify the manufacturing process, the magnetic bias layer may be manufactured from the same material as the magneto-resistive layer but then the explicit requirement is imposed that it should be so much thinner than this one that, under the influence of the magnetic field induced therein, it is magnetically saturated and cannot operate as a magneto-resistance element. On the contrary, the operation of the magnetic reading head according to the invention is based on the fact that both magneto-statically coupled magneto-resistive layers operate as a magneto-resistance element.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically a magnetic sensor according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows diagrammatically an electric circuit diagram for the sensor of FIG. 1.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a magnetic sensor according to the invention.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view through the sensor of FIG. 6.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7 through an alternative embodiment of a sensor according to the invention.
By way of simple illustration, FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a construction of a magneto-resistive reading head according to the invention which is formed by successive depositions by sputtering in an inert atmosphere. By way of example, such a construction may have the following dimensions: length l equal to 600 μm, width h equal to 20 μm, thickness t1 or t2 of the order of 75 nm and intermediate space s, between the layers of the order of 1-30 nm.
First of all, a layer 11, for example of an iron-nickel alloy having 81% iron and 19% nickel, which alloy is known to show no magnetostriction effect, is deposited on a substrate 10 of, in this case, thermally oxidized silicon. During the deposition, a magnetic field having a field strength of approximately 16,000 A/m (200 Oe) is applied which induces an easy axis of magnetization EA1 in the layer 11. In the same sputter-run, a layer 15 (thickness for example 1 nm to 10 nm for producing a strong magnetostatic coupling between layer 11 and a second magneto-resistive layer 16 to be provided on top of the layer 15) is then deposited. Layer 16 is preferably of the same material as layer 11 and has approximately the same thickness and is provided in a magnetic orientation field which is such as to induce an easy axis of magnetization EA2 in the layer 16, which axis is parallel to the axis in the first layer. The layers 11 and 16 may have different thicknesses. This provides a parameter for adjusting the magnetization field. The magnetization states of the layers (in the absence of an external magnetic field), after applying a measuring current Is, are denoted by M and M', respectively. Above the produced plane of the layer 16, connection conductors may then be deposited for the electric connection of the layer structure 11, 15, 16 to a reading circuit. A protective layer, for example of SiO2, may then be deposited in a thickness which is of no importance for the operation of the magnetoresistive layers.
The connection conductors may be of Mo/Au/Mo, but they may also be formed from the same material as the magneto-resistive layers, in which case they are formed simultaneously with said layers, which reduces the number of depositions.
From the above it can be seen that a magnetic reading head according to the invention can be produced in a simple manner. When a layer 15 of non-magnetic, electrically insulating material is used, for example SiO2, two windows should be provided therein for the electric interconnection of the layers 11 and 16, as a result of which the construction becomes a little more complicated.
As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetostatically coupled layers 11 and 16 are connected to conductors 23 and 24, respectively, which are connected to a current source 25. 15 denotes a non-magnetic electrically conductive layer which ensures that no exchange coupling occurs between the layers 11 and 16. In the present case, molybdenum has been used as a material for the layer 15, but titanium and other non-magnetic electrically conductive layers may alternatively be used. The layers 11, 15 and 16 are connected in parallel, via conductors 27 and 28, to an amplifier 29 which provides an output signal Vu which represents resistance variations of the layer structure 11, 15 and 16 as a whole.
The resistance variations ΔR of a monolayer magneto-resistive element as a function of a magnetic field H is shown in FIG. 3. In the prior art magnetic reading head having the two magneto-statically coupled magneto-resistive elements connected to a difference amplifier, one element is biased at the operating point 30 of the characteristic in FIG. 3 and the other point is biased at operating point 31. As will be explained hereinafter, the magnetic sensor according to the invention has a quite different operation, which results in a significantly different and steeper characteristic, as is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
With a sufficiently large measuring current Is, the directions of magnetization M and M' (see FIG. 1) will become anti-parallel in the transverse direction (demagnetization energy+energy in field Hs produced by current Is is minimum) instead of anti-parallel in the longitudinal direction (demagnetization energy is minimum).
When Hs is not too strong, the magnetization for a small applied field Ha in the transverse direction, so anti-parallel to one of the directions of magnetization, in the relevant layer will rotate, in which the resistance increases for rotations up to 90� to decrease subsequently when Ha increases further. For a field in the opposite direction, the same occurs with the other layer which, due to the electric parallel arrangement of the two layers, results in a transmission function which is equal for the two field directions (see FIG. 4).
A much stronger couple is exerted if the field is applied at 90� instead of 180� and 0� with the directions of magnetization, resulting in an even higher sensitivity. The resistance in both layers again increases without, however, again decreasing for even larger fields, since the magnetizations in their end position are parallel to Ha, so also parallel to the current through the layers (see FIG. 5). The high sensitivity is demonstrated by the increased steepness of the curve of FIG. 5 compared with that of FIG. 4. The steepness of the two curves moreover is considerably larger than the steepness in the operating points 30, 31 of the FIG. 3 curve.
FIG. 6 shows the use of a magneto-resistive layer structure 31 having two magneto-resistive layers and a non-magnetic electrically conductive intermediate layer of the type shown in FIG. 1 in a magnetic reading head 32 having so-called flux conductors 33 and 34. The layer structure 31 comprises connection conductors 35 and 36 and is provided on a substrate 37 of (nickel-zinc) ferrite together with the flux conductors 33 and 34 in such manner that magnetic flux is returned from a recording medium 38 (FIG. 7) via flux conductor 34, layer structure 31, flux conductor 33 and ferrite substrate 37 to the recording medium 38.
FIG. 8 is a sectional view of an alternative construction in which magnetoresistive layer structure 39 is not present within flux conductors 40 and 41, but beyond them.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show in addition an extra electric conductor 42 which is not necessary for the operation of the magnetic sensor but may advantageously be used in certain applications, for example, as a "bias" conductor for inducing a magnetic bias field in the layer structure 31, or as a feedback conductor for inducing a magnetic feedback field in the layer structure 31. In itself, however, the advantage of the sensor according to the invention is that the sensitivity to small fields is improved as it will become apparent from a comparison of the characteristics of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 with that of FIG. 3. This involves, for example, that even with small "digital" magnetic fields a strong digital pulse is given with each direction variation of the field to be measured. This makes the sensor according to the invention, for example, also very suitable for use in detecting magnetic bubbles.
