Gorgeous architecture and interesting history - Review of Union Station, Kansas City, MO - TripAdvisor
Gorgeous architecture and interesting... - Union Station
“Gorgeous architecture and interesting history”
Ranked #6 of 159 things to do in Kansas City
Gorgeous architecture and interesting history
This is a fun place to visit especially if you appreciate history and great architecture. The building was built in 1914 and saw the heyday of the railroad. It underwent a major renovation after being abandoned and has found new life as a venue for special events and exhibits, a train museum and also a children's museum. Though separate and fee based, the Science City children's museum is very fun for young children and those that get to see the world through their eyes. The also separate and fee-based KC Rail Experience is very interesting and would be a must-see for train buffs of all ages. We enjoy visiting Union Station as an interesting and free afternoon excursion just to enjoy the beauty and novelty of the building. Out front there is a dancing fountain in the warm months that is worth a drive just to see. There is a "Link," which is a glassed-in and somewhat temperature controlled elevated walkway that connects Union Station to the Westin and Crown Center, which is a shopping area. The Link continues on to another nearby hotel as well, the Hyatt I believe. It is quite fun to catch a view of the downtown skyline at night from a great vantage point, or to enjoy walking in the snow or rain between buildings protected from the elements. The Mariott hotel downtown has a rather unique light display at night and especially during the holidays that has become a tradition for our family to watch from the Link. If you come, parking is free with validation for 3 hours if you park in the covered parking spaces at Crown Center. Parking is limited and a fee is charged at Union Station itself. The walk over on the Link is part of the experience. Restaurants at Union Station and Crown Center are horrible however. It is worth it to drive or in good weather walk over the bridge to the Freight House area behind the train tracks and eat at Fiorella's Jack Stack or Lydia's which are both excellent choices. Jack Stack has sandwiches for around $11-15, and dinner entrees around $17-39. Portions are so large however that you can quite easily share. Lydia's is an amazing Italian restaurant of around the same price range. If you are looking for inexpensive food, walk to Panera Bread on Grand Avenue in front of Crown Center. Don't bother trying to eat at any of the beautiful, but deceptive locations at Crown Center or Union Station. The one exception may be the American Restaurant, which serves the smallest portions, but very tasty food. You can expect to pay about $150-200 for dinner for two with wine by the glass however. If you are a family on a budget just pack a lunch because there is not a fast food restaurant nearby in this neighborhood.

Beautiful station. I've only been in to try and get some food and not for the purpose of taking the train. The architecture was amazing. Word of the wise, Harvey's closes around 3 on Saturdays and one of the nicer (though expensive) restaurants opens at like 4-5 pm. Right now, they have a Rock n Roll/ music exhibit on one of the levels. My only gripe is that there's not a whole lot of food options at least from what I saw

KC should be proud of the preservation of our Union Station. And so much to offer on the inside....from theaters, to Science City, to restaurants,

The D'Arsonval type mechanism comprises a pair of suspension beams mounted in parallel planes in a liquid filled cylindrical housing. A pair of axially aligned taut wires support a torque coil between the suspension beams. The coil surrounds a permanent magnet fixedly mounted in the housing. An arm extending outwardly from the coil, transverse to the axis of the taut wires, supports the seismic mass between the sensing coils, which are mounted in the housing. The sensing coils form two arms of a bridge circuit energized by an oscillator connected across one pair of opposing terminals of the bridge. The signal developed across the other pair of opposing terminals is applied to a differential amplifier. The resultant difference signal is sine wave multiplied with the output of the oscillator in a quadrature detector. The output of the quadrature detector, which is related to the acceleration of the seismic mass, is applied to the coil of the D'Arsonval mechanism to rebalance the seismic mass. A bellows mounted on one end of the housing allows the liquid in the housing to expand and contract as the temperature of the environment in which the D'Arsonval type mechanism is located changes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention is directed to accelerometers and, more particularly, to force balance servo accelerometers.
Accelerometers are used in a variety of scientific and industrial environments to measure various factors. For example, an accelerometer attached to a body measures the acceleration of the body along the sensing axis of the accelerometer. Integrating the output of such an accelerometer over a particular period of time provides a measurement of the velocity of movement of the object along the sensing axis of the accelerometer. Integrating the resultant velocity with respect to time results in a measurement of the distance of movement of the object, also along the sensing axis of the accelerometer. Accelerometers are also useful in other environments to provide other types of information. For example, they are useful in civil engineering and geophysical environments to measure forces, either forces applied to objects by some mechanical power source, or forces produced by nature.
Force balance servo accelerometers, are formed of two main subsystems. The first subsystem comprises a mechanical mechanism that includes a movable seismic mass. When the mass moves, due to the acceleration of the mechanical mechanism along a sensing axis, a mass position sensor modifies an electrical signal. The modified electrical signal is used to control a torquer adapted to rebalance the accelerometer seismic mass, i.e., return it to a neutral or null position. The magnitude of current necessary to rebalance the seismic mass is directly related to the acceleration of the mass. Thus, the output signal performs two functions--it provides an indication of the acceleration of the mass and it controls the rebalancing of the mass.
For a variety of reasons, prior art accelerometer mechanical mechanisms particularly those intended for use in civil engineering and geophysical environments, have not been as satisfactory as desired. One reason prior art accelerometer mechanical mechanisms have not been entirely satisfactory is a result of their delicate construction. Because of their delicate nature, prior art mechanisms have not been as useful as they could be in rugged environments where they are likely to be dropped on a hard surface or subjected to unduly harsh forces, because such forces may severely damage or in some cases destroy them. Further, prior art accelerometer mechanical mechanisms have often been more complicated and, therefore, expensive to construct, than desirable.
In addition to the foregoing disadvantages, many prior art accelerometer mechanical mechanisms have been noisy, i.e., they have been formed such that an excessive amount of noise (false information) is present in their output signals. As a result, relatively expensive electronic filtering circuits have been required to clarify the output signals prior to their use. Further, the hysteresis present in such mechanisms has been higher than desirable.
With respect to the electronic subsystems of prior art force balance servo accelerometers, they also have not been as satisfactory as desirable. Many such circuits have drifted excessively due to component aging and/or changes in the temperature of the environment in which the mechanical portion of the accelerometer is located, or the environment in which the electronic subsystem is located, or both environments. Also, circuit imbalances caused by the use of separate oscillators driving sensing coils have led to unsatisfactory results being obtained.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a new and improved accelerometer.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a new and improved force balance servo accelerometer.
It is another object of this invention to provide a new and improved mechanical mechanism for use in force balance servo accelerometers.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a new and improved electronic subsystem suitable for use in force balance accelerometers.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a low noise producing, low hysteresis, rugged mechanical mechanism useful in force balance servo accelerometers.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a new and improved force balance servo accelerometer electronic subsystems that is essentially drift insensitive and independent of parameter variations occurring as a result of temperature fluctuations or component changes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with this invention a new and improved force balance servo accelerometer is provided. In its preferred form the servo accelerometer includes a new and improved mechanical mechanism and a new and improved electronic subsystem. While the subsystems were developed for use with one another, those skilled in the art and others will recognize from the following description that each subsystem is also useful with other subsystems. That is, the mechanical mechanism of the invention is useful with other electronic subsystems and the electronic subsystem of the invention is useful with other mechanical mechanisms.
In its preferred form, the mechanical mechanism of the invention includes a new and improved D'Arsonval type mechanism for rebalancing, between a pair of sensing coils, a seismic mass moved by acceleration. The preferred form of the D'Arsonval type mechanism comprises a pair of suspension beams mounted in parallel planes in a liquid filled housing. A pair of axially aligned taut wires support a torque coil between the suspension beams. The coil surrounds a permanent magnet. An arm extending outwardly from the coil, transverse to the axis of the taut wires, supports the seismic mass between the pair of sensing coils, which are mounted in a fixed position in the housing. Movement of the seismic mass about the axis of the taut wires, due to acceleration, is toward one sensing coil and away from the other sensing coil. As a result, the phase of the impedance of one sensing coil changes with respect to the other. This variation in impedance via an electronic subsystem (the preferred form of which is hereinafter described) causes a current flow in a predetermined direction through the torque coil. The torque coil current creates a magnetic field that interacts with the field produced by the permanent magnet. The direction and magnitude of the resultant torque coil magnetic field is such that the seismic mass is returned to a null or center position between the sensing coils.
In the preferred form of the electronic subsystem, the sensing coils are connected to form two arms of a bridge circuit that is balanced when the seismic mass is at a null position. The bridge circuit is energized by an oscillator connected across one pair of opposing terminals of the bridge. The other pair of opposing terminals are connected to a differential amplifier. The output of the differential amplifier is combined with the output of the oscillator in a quadrature detector. The quadrature detector, in essence, sine wave multiplies its inputs and produces an output having a magnitude related to the magnitude of the acceleration applied to the seismic mass. It is this output that is applied to the torque coil of the D'Arsonval type mechanism to rebalance the seismic mass.
In addition, preferably, a phase shifter is connected between the output of the oscillator and its related input of the quadrature detector so that the input signals to the quadrature detector are maintained in phase. Further, preferably, a low band pass amplifier is connected to the output of the quadrature detector to eliminate signals developed at twice the frequency of oscillation and apply only essentially DC developed signals to the torque coil of the D'Arsonval type mechanism.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and others, the invention overcomes the above noted disadvantages of many prior art accelerometers, particularly those of a force balance servo type. Specifically, the invention provides a force balance servo accelerometer having a rugged mechanical mechanism. Because the suspension beams are securely fastened on both ends, the dimensional location of the taut wires is both precise and stable. Further, the force balance servo accelerometer of the invention provides a mechanical mechanism that is acceleration sensitive substantially only about the axis of rotation of the seismic mass, i.e., it is relatively insensitive to accelerations in other directions. Since the mechanical mechanism provides a device wherein alignment of the axis of rotation is formed on, or very close to, the axis of the housing, axis alignment, a highly desirable characteristic in an instrumentation accelerometer, is achieved. With respect to the electronic subsystem, it is relatively insensitive to drift due to temperature and deterioration of components with time. In this regard, as a result of the same oscillator frequency being applied to the sensing coils and the quadrature detector, many output variations and fluctuations due to drift are automatically cancelled. Further, the circuit tends to be relatively independent of other parameters. Thus, performance is enhanced and manufacturing costs are greatly reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As will be readily recognized by those skilled in the accelerometer art, an overall accelerometer, particularly a force balance servo accelerometer, is essentially formed of two main subsystems--a mechanical mechanism and an electronic circuit. A preferred embodiment of a mechanical mechanism formed in accordance with the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and a preferred embodiment of an electronic circuit subsystem is illustrated in FIG. 4. While the mechanical mechanism and electronic subsystem were developed for use with one another, it will be recognized that they may be also used with other subsystems. Thus, the mechanical mechanism may be used with other electronic subsystems and the electronic subsystem may be used with other mechanical mechanisms.
The accelerometer mechanical mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes an elongate, cylindrical housing 11, formed of soft iron. The cavity 12 in said housing 11 includes a center region 14 slightly smaller in diameter than first and second end regions, 16 and 18. Mounted in the first end region of the housing is a first C-shaped beam support 13. Mounted in the second end 18 region of the housing is a second C-shaped beam support 15. The outer diameter of the C-shaped beam supports is slightly smaller than the diameter of the first and second regions of the cylindrical housing 11.
The C-shaped beam supports are formed of a good electrically conductive material, such as brass. Located between the first and second C-shaped beam supports 13 and 15 and the adjacent wall of their respective regions of the housing 11 are first and second electrical insulating rings 19 and 21, one associated with each beam support. The insulating rings 19 and 21 provide electrical insulation between the C-shaped beam supports 15 and 17 and the cylindrical housing wall in the first and second regions 16 and 18. In this regard, the inner edge of the rings, i.e., the edge nearest the center region 14 of the housing 11, is thicker. The thicker region prevents the C-shaped beam supports from longitudinally coming into electrical contact with the center region 14, as best illustrated in FIG. 3. The C-shaped beam supports 13 and 15 and the insulating layers are attached together and to the housing by a suitable adhesive, such as epoxy.
First and second suspension beams 23 and 25 are mounted across the outer peripheral surfaces of the C-shaped beam supports 13 and 15 so as to pass through, and lie orthogonal to, the longitudinal axis 27 of the cylindrical housing cavity 12. Thus, the suspension beams are supported at their ends by the outer peripheral edges of the C-shaped beam supports. As can be readily observed in the drawings, the suspension beams are flat and relatively thin. Preferably, the suspension beams are formed of a suitably rigid beryllium copper alloy, a well known spring material having high electrical conductivity, high strength and high hardness. First and second taut wires 29 and 31 project inwardly from the suspension beams 23 and 25, i.e., toward one another, along the longitudinal axis 27. Preferably the taut wires are formed of platinum.
Mounted between the taut wires 29 and 31 is a rectangular torque coil 33. The torque coil is formed by winding lightweight copper wire 34 around an apertured rectangular coil support 36, formed of aluminum, such that the axis of the coil lies along a line transverse to the longitudinal axis 27. The torque coil 33 is affixed to the inner ends of the taut wires 29 and 31 by a bracket 32 affixed to the coil winding by a suitable insulating adhesive such as epoxy. Electrical connection to the coil is made via the taut wires 29 and 31 to the suspension beams 23 and 25; and, the suspension beams form an electrical connection to the C-shaped beam supports 13 and 15. When the torque coil 33 is mounted between the suspension beams 23 and 25 in the cavity 12, the taut wires have no give or slack (i.e., they are taut). They are placed in a taut state by passing the wires through apertures in the suspension beams, stressing the wires and then soldering them to the suspension beams.
Affixed to and extending outwardly from one end of the torque coil 33, along an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the support, is a mass suspension arm 35. The inner end of the mass suspension arm forms the taut wire attachment bracket on the related end of the coil Mounted on the outer end of the mass suspension arm 35 is a seismic mass 37 formed of a suitable eddy current loss material, i.e., a material whose presence or absence in the magnetic field produced by an electrically energized sensing coil will control the impedance of the coil, in accordance with the position of the mass with respect to the coil.
Mounted in the aperture in the torque coil 33 is a permanent magnet 38. The illustrated permanent magnet is a right rectangular parallelepiped in shape and, slightly smaller in length and width than the aperture in the torque coil 33. Thus, the coil is free to oscillate a slight amount about the permanent magnet without impinging on it.
Mounted on either end of the permanent magnet 38 are a pair of magnet supports 39. The magnet supports 39 have cylindrically curved outer surfaces, with the radius of curvature being equal to the radius of curvature of the center region 14 of the cylindrical housing 11. The sides of the magnet supports opposed to their cylindrically curved outersurfaces are flat. The thickness of the permanent magnet 37 is such that when the magnet supports are diametrically mounted in center region 14 of the cylindrical housing, the permanent magnet just fits between the supports. The regions outside of the torque coil between the magnet supports 39 are filled by a pair of curved pole pieces 40 formed of soft iron. A suitable adhesive maintains the supports, curved filler plates and magnet in the described positions when the mechanism is assembled.
At least one of the magnet supports 39 includes a semicylindrical outer aperture 41 lying parallel to the longitudinal axis 27 of the cylindrical housing 11. This aperture allows a wire 42 to pass through the housing 11, adjacent its wall, and be attached to the C-shaped beam support 13 located in the first end region 16 of the housing 11.
The outer end of the first end region 16 is herein referred to for convenience as the bellows end of the housing. A cylindrical cap 43 is attached to the bellows end of the housing. The cylindrical cap is smaller in diameter than the housing and includes a cone-shaped end 45 formed of soft iron. The cone-shaped end is attached by any suitable means such as soldering, brazing or welding, for examples, to the bellows end of the cylindrical housing 11. Alternatively it may be formed in a unitary manner with the housing. The outer end of the cap 43 includes an inwardly projecting washer shaped flange 46. Affixed to the flange 46 is the open end of an inwardly projecting cylindrical bellows 47. The closed end 49 of the inwardly projecting cylindrical bellows 47 lies inside of the cylindrical cap, generally coplanar with the cone-shaped end 45. The longitudinal axes of the cylindrical cap and the cylindrical bellows are coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis 27 of the cylindrical housing 11.
Located in the second end region of the cylindrical housing is a sensing coil support plate 51. The sensing coil support plate is washer-shaped, i.e., it is generally flat and includes a central aperture. The center of the central aperture, when the sensing coil support plate 51 is mounted in the second end region 18 of the cylindrical housing 11, lies on the longitudinal axis 27 and the plane of the support plate lies orthogonal thereto.
Projecting orthogonally inwardly from the sensing coil support plate 51 are a pair of flanges 53. The flanges 53 are spaced from one another and lie in parallel planes which if extended would lie on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis 27. Mounted on the facing surfaces of the flanges 53 are a pair of sensing coils 55, one for each flange. The flanges 53 are spaced such that the seismic mass 37 will fit between the coils when the overall structure is assembled in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2. The spacing is such that the seismic mass is movable through a small arc about its axis of rotation (the axis of the taut wires) when the housing is accelerated in a direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the longitudinal axis 27 and the arm 55. This direction is the acceleration sensing direction of the mechanical mechanism and is generally about the longitudinal axis 27.
Five apertures 57a-b (four small and one large) pass through the sensing coil support plate 51, along axes lying parallel to the longitudinal axis 27 of the cylindrical housing 11. Two wires pass through the large aperture 57a. One of these wires 42 is connected to the first C-shaped beam support 13, as discussed above. The other wire 59 is connected to the second C-shaped beam support 15. Four other wires 60 pass through the four smaller apertures 57b and are connected to four ends of the pair of sensing coils 55.
Located on the side of the sensing coil support plate 51 remote from the seismic mass 37 is a flat, cylindrical end closure plate 61 formed of soft iron. A C-shaped insulation 62 ring lies between the coil support plate 51 and the end closure plate 61. A suitable adhesive is used to affix the C-shaped insulation ring to the coil support plate 51 and affix both elements to the housing 11.
The end closure plate 61 supports six rigid, orthogonally arrayed wires 63 mounted in insulating rings 64. The inner ends of the wires 63 are connected to the other ends of the wires 60 connected to the sensing coils 55 and to the wires 42 and 59 connected to the first and second C-shaped beam supports 13 and 15, on a one-to-one basis. In addition, the end plate 61 includes a central aperture 65. The central aperture is provided to allow a suitable liquid, such as silicone oil, to be inserted into the housing after the foregoing elements are assembled in the manner previously described and best illustrated in FIG. 2. After the liquid is inserted, the aperture 65 in the end plate 61 is closed by suitable screw plug 67.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing description that the accelerometer mechanical mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is a D'Arsonval type mechanism. A D'Arsonval type mechanism, as will be readily understood by those skilled in the electronics art, is a mechanism having an arm whose position is controlled by the interaction of a magnetic field produced by a current flow through a coil with a permanent magnet. This interaction causes movement of the arm 35, which, in the present mechanism, causes movement of the seismic mass 37.
It will be appeciated from the foregoing description and from viewing FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 that a relatively rugged accelerometer mechanical mechanism is provided by the invention. Preferably the taut wires 29 and 31 are soldered to the suspension beams 23 and 25 and, the suspension beams are soldered to the C-shaped beam supports. Because the suspension beams are securely fastened on both ends, the dimensional location of the taut wires is both precise and stable. Such precise and stable dimensional location means that the alignment of the axis of rotation of the rotational (seismic) mass is very close to the axis of the cylindrical housing, if not exactly coaxial. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and others, this characteristic, termed axis alignment, is a highly desirable characteristic in an instrumentation accelerometer. Further, the invention is suitable for use in environments where temperature variations cover a wide range, because the bellows allows the liquid within which the movable mechanism is mounted to expand and contract in accordance with temperature variations without such variations having a detrimental effect on the operation of the mechanism.
Turning now to the electronic subsystem illustrated in FIG. 4, the sensing coils 55 (denoted as inductors L1 and L2 in FIG. 4) are connected in a bridge circuit. The bridge circuit, in addition to L1 and L2 includes a pair of matched resistors designated R1 and R2. The bridge is formed by connecting one end of R1 to one end of L1 and one end of R2 to one end of L2. The other ends of R1 and R2 are connected together and to ground. The other ends of L1 and L2 are connected together via the resistive element of a balancing potentiometer P. The sliding element of P is connected to the output of an oxcillator 71. The junction between L1 and R1 is connected to one input of a differential amplifier 73. The junction between L2 and R2 is connected to the other input of the differential amplifier 73. The outputs of the differential amplifier 73 are connected to one input of a quadrature detector 75. The output of the oscillator 71 is connected through an adjustable phase shifter 77 to the second input of the quadrature detector 75. The output of the quadrature detector 75 is connected to the input of a low pass operational amplifier 79. A feedback element, designated Z1, connects the output of the low pass operational amplifier to its inverting input so as to control the pass band thereof in a conventional manner. The output of the low pass operational amplifier is connected to one end of the torque coil 33. The other side of the torque coil 33 is connected through a further low pass operational amplifier 81 to an output terminal 83. A feedback impedance designated Z2 is connected between the output of the second low pass operational amplifier 83 and its inverting input to control its pass band and scale factor. The non-inverting input is connected to ground.
In operation, when the bridge is balanced the inputs applied to the differential amplifier are the same, whereby the signal across the output of the differential amplifier is zero. This situation exists (assuming L1 = L2 and R1 = R2) when the seismic mass is at its null position between L1 and L2. When the seismic mass moves toward one of L1 and L2 and away from the other, the phase of the impedance of one of the inductive legs of the bridge increases with respect to the other, as a result of eddy current loss effects; and, the bridge becomes detuned or unbalanced. As a result a phase difference exists between the inputs of the differential amplifier. The differential amplifier now outputs both the difference [A-B, where A represents one differential amplifier input and B represents the other input] and minus the difference [-(A-B)] between these signals on the inputs connected to the quadrature detector. These signals form a combined signal 2(A-B), based on [A-B] [-(A-B)]. It should be noted that this difference signal is at the frequency of oscillation of the oscillator 71, i.e., A and B include sine/cosine components.
The quadrature detector, which is sometimes referred to as a balanced demodulator, sine wave multiplies the output of the differential amplifier with the output of the phase shifter 77. The phase shifter 77 is provided to adjust the phase of the oscillator related input of the quadrature detector so the output of the differential amplifier (if any existed) and the output of the oscillator are in phase when the seismic mass 37 is positioned exactly between the sensing coils L1 and L2.
The movement of the seismic mass toward one and away from the other sensing coil creates a differential amplifier output that includes the phase shift information applied to its inputs, discussed above. The output of the quadrature detector comprises sum and difference frequencies, both of which include the phase shift information describing the motion of the seismic mass toward one sensing coil and away from the other sensing coil. That is, the same phase shift information is centered about both twice the frequency of the oscillator and zero frequency. The low pass operational amplifier 79 rejects information at twice the frequency of oscillation and passes the information centered around zero. The zero or DC information is applied to the torque coil 33 which, as illustrated by the dashed line, causes the seismic mass (due to the interaction between the torque coil's magnetic field and the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet 37) to move the seismic mass toward its null or center position between the sensing coils L1 and L2. In addition, the signal flowing through the torque coil 33 forms an output whose magnitude is related to the magnitude of the current necessary to move the seismic mass back to its center position, which magnitude is related to the acceleration applied to the seismic mass about its axis of rotation. That is, the current driven through the torque coil is proportional to the phase shift between the first and second sensor coil signals, as detected by the differential amplifier. As this phase shift is proportional to the acceleration of the seismic mass, the counteracting torque current, which acts to continuously maintain the seismic mass centered between the sensing coils, is proportional to acceleration. It is this current value that is amplified by the low pass operational amplifier 81 to form a related output voltage at the output terminal 83.
As will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art and others, the accelerometer electronic subsystem illustrated in FIG. 4 has a variety of advantages over prior art systems. For example, the dual inductive sensing arrangement provides an accurate electrical null position sensor for the seismic mass. More specifically, since the electrical center is defined as the geometric point between the sensing coils, when the seismic mass is located at that point, the complex impedance of each sensing coil and resistor combination (L1/R1 and L2/R2) are equal. Since the materials and geometries in each inductive leg are chosen and formed so as to be identical, thermal effects are balanced and, hence, cancelled. Further, common noise (noise being defined as all electrical signals other than signals containing the desired information), are cancelled, i.e., common mode rejection is high.
In addition, the use of a quadrature detector allows most of the gain in the system to be realized at the oscillator frequency. This result is achieved if the differential amplifier 73 is chosen to have a narrow pass band centered at the oscillator frequency. If the differential amplifier is so chosen virtually all noise pickup that is not associated with the oscillator is rejected and, hence, does not cause the output to contain erroneous information. Moreover, if a suitable quadrature detector (such as an LM 1496) is chosen, high common mode rejection by the quadrature detector itself is also provided. (The LM 1496 has an 85db common mode rejection.) Thus, signals not due to seismic mass motion are rejected. In addition, as will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art variations in the oscillator frequency (which preferably is in the low megahertz range, e.g., 3 MHz), do not result in a change in the null position. Thus, null stability is largely independent of oscillator frequency.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and others that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, balance demodulators other than quadrature detectors can be utilized, if desired. Further, other electronic and mechanical changes falling within the scope of the invention, as denoted in the appended claims, can be made if desired. Hence, the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

The Mtwara Port was built during the British Colonial times in the city of Mtwara in southern Tanzania. The harbor at the Port of Mtwara was deepened during the colonial times by the British in 1948-1954, and a railway line was built connecting the port, as part of the Tanganyika groundnut scheme. Due to the failure of the scheme the port immediately lost value and the railway line was removed. The port was functional but underutilized for many years due to poor transport infrastructure,[2] However, in the years of 2010-2011 the increased activity in oil and gas exploration activity caused a surge on operations.[3] The Mtwara port is also an integral part of the Mtwara Development Corridor project and has recently saw major upgrades.[4] The port also has a special economic zone attached to it and In December 2015 Alistair Freeports Limited injected $700,000 to upgrade the Export processing zone around the port area.[5]
2 The Mtwara Development Corridor
The port has historically handled very little cargo due to the lack of large industries in the area. The major export out of the port has always been cashew nuts. The Port has a quay wall of 385m and can handle two ships and one ocean ship at once.[6] Previously the port could only dock ships of length up to 175m however with recent renovations in 2015, the port could dock a 209m ship in February of 2015.[7] The port handles 400,000 metric tonnes of cargo annually and constitutes to less than 5% of the total countries cargo movement, however, the government plans to upgrade the port drastically to facilitate trade in the southern part of the country.[4]
The Mtwara Development Corridor[edit]
Main article: Mtwara Development Corridor
The harbour is an integral part of the Mtwara Development Corridor proejct. The infrastructure around the port is currently being development to help facilitate more cargo to be handled at the port. The port is destined to be an alternative cargo gateway for cargo bound for southern Tanzania, Malawi, Eastern Zambia and Northern Mozambique. Furthermore, for the success and growth of the major coal and iron mining projects such as the Mchucuma Iron Mine and the Liganga mine they need to be able to handle high capacity bulk loads to facilitate exports through the port.[8]

With the healthcare industry in the national spotlight, many of us are questioning the efficiency of our country's medical diagnosis and treatment system. The healthcare cost in the U.S. is the highest in the world, yet our life expectancy is ranked 50th in the world, and the overall health level at 72nd. Just look around us. Obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer are on the rise across the age groups. Chronically ill children have grown up to be chronically ill adults. No doubt, our healthcare system is failing us. Too much emphasis is put on sickness. As a matter of fact, 93% of healthcare dollars are spent on treating illnesses while only 7% on prevention.
Many of us are finally pushed to look at alternative options. With the Internet, resources to make sound decisions surrounding our well-being are now available to everyone. The truth is that each of us has the power within to achieve wellness. By taking good care of ourselves and including exercise and supplementation in our daily regimen, we can reduce in likelihood of common issues and illnesses. Examine our lifestyle and behavior. Every day are we building health or producing disease in ourselves? The choices we make over the course of our daily routine affect our overall wellness. Don't wait for aches and pains or test results to make a change in your behavior.
To achieve wellness takes determination, discipline and education. It's a long, ongoing process.
Let's get together, educate ourselves and promote prevention. We can help one another start ourselves on the path to optimal well-being! Take responsibility and take control.

On the way to the vital selection trial, disaster strikes when Fabrice, Dudu and Beatrice board the wrong bus and cross into the Congo. Without papers, money or a believable story, they are escorted to a children's refugee camp. But with considerable ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized heroes escape the camp and set off in pursuit of their dream, picking up along the way a "dream team" of displaced kids, who help them negotiate a series of thrilling and hilarious adventures. During their 3000 mile journey, we encounter an Africa few people ever see; experience an epic adventure across seven countries; and feel the joy, laughter and hope that comes from making an incredible journey together.

By Edward Pern
Format:DVD This is a really wonderful movie concerning children coming from several different backgrounds in Africa, being united and finding hope in their search for a wonderful soccer experience. Really, really great.
Format:DVD I enjoyed watching this movie and i recommend it to anybody..... Dudu, the main character is so funny and always has something interesting to say.He HAS A goal and goes even beyond his own health to achieve it. This movie also brought me hope. It reminded me that no matter what you go through in life, there is someone on the other end of the world going through worst. Fabrice, the other character was kind of interesting too, the second character i enjoyed was Beatrice, she is a very smart pretty girl who wants to become a doctor. don't waste anymore time just get the movie
