The author story line is very real and down to earth. Everyone makes mistakes, fails at doing something, and succeeds at doing what they dream about. What did you like best about this story?
He uses inspirational quotes, comedy, and he is really goofy at times. It really brings the book alive as your listening to it. I have started laughing and smiling at work while I am listening to this book, people ask, "What are you smiling about?" My response, "I am listening to book that reminded me of a mistake I made in my professional career". What does Cliff Michaels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Cliff brings a comedy aspect along with a couple of bad jokes of course. 0 of 0 people found this review helpful

"Listen First, Listen Twice to Master"
I would listen to it again so I can really dive into the concepts. Sometimes it is best for me to write things down and remind myself on a daily basis.
Have you listened to any of Dave Ramsey’s other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising an image recording unit for electrostatistically transferring a toner image formed on the surface of an image carrier (a photosensitive substance) to paper which is carried, while being drawn in, by a belt-like or a drum-like paper carrier, and a paper feeding unit which feeds the paper to the image recording unit. More particularly, the present invention relates to an image forming apparatus designed to facilitate correction of paper jams.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is conceived in view of the foregoing problems in the prior art, and the primary object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove all of the jammed paper from an image forming apparatus by removing a removable member (a drawer unit) from the main unit of the image forming apparatus.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic representation showing the overall construction of an image forming apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention;
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
An angular reflecting member 21 which is bent at an angle of 90� is supported by the bottom of each cleaner 18 in such a way that its opening faces in a downward direction.
If the handle 43c is rotated counterclockwise through 90� in the state shown in FIG. 6, the rotary shafts 44 and 45 rotate, and the raising and lowering members 51 move downwards. The rods 27 supported by the raising and lowering members 51 also move downwards, and hence the belt module B is lowered. As a result, the belt module B becomes positioned as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
When the handle 43c is rotated clockwise through 90� from the position designated by the solid line to the position designated by a two-dot chain line, the rotary shaft 44 rotates counterclockwise via the pulleys 43a, 44a, 45a, and 46 and the wire 47, whereas the rotary shaft 45 rotates clockwise. At this time, the raising and lowering member 51 is also raised. The belt module B supported by the raising and lowering member 51 is raised in association with the raising action of the raising and lowering member 51. As a result, the belt module B comes into contact with lower surfaces of the image carriers Dy, Dm, Dc, and Dk, as shown in FIG. 6.

CSS sprite, jQuery fadeIn/fadeOut, transparent PNG, and IE: wtf? - Stack Overflow
1 My situation is perhaps one of the most masochistic in which I've ever been.
I have a series of images that fade in and fade out over a period of time using jQuery. They're all transparent PNGs. Because I'm interested in optimizing the speed of my website, I thought it would be convenient if I could throw all of my PNGs in one nice sprite-able PNG file, still retaining the good benefits of transparency along the way.
Of course, IE is the browser that presents a problem: IE8 seems to struggle with rendering PNGs that fade in and out without the use of AlphaImageLoader. The problem with AlphaImageLoader, however, is that it ignores CSS properties like background-position, rendering CSS sprites impossible to render.
Any ideas of fantastical brilliance out there? (I've considered using the 'clip' CSS property, but no sprite generator out there today currently outputs data using 'clip', and coding it in manually would be a real PITA.)

what i usually do to have fades is to have a div with the same color as the background fadein on top of the image. then u want have any problem with ie
That's not an option unfortunately, as I have a complex background behind the PNGs.
Until all the major browsers fix these nagging issues, I've given up on PNGs and converted everything back to JPG and GIF.
There are scripts around that help you fix IE pngs issues. Here is one that i used in the past. IE PNG FIX

He's already using jQuery... I thought that automatically fixed PNG issues in IE.
That's correct--If anything, a jQuery plugin would be preferable.
Does it mean you fixed your issue?
Afraid not -- I'm still seeing the black border appear as the text fades in IE8. The good news is that background-position seems to be working, though.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0050] Turning now to the drawings, FIGS. 1-6 show a first preferred embodiment of a passive needle guard 10 for holding a syringe 90, in accordance with the present invention. Generally, the passive needle guard 10 includes three parts, namely a body 20 for receiving and holding the syringe 90, a shield 60 slidably attached to the body 20, and a spring mechanism 80. Both the body 20 and the shield 60 are generally molded from plastic, such as polypropylene, k-resin, or polycarbonate, and are preferably substantially clear and colorless to facilitate observation of the syringe 90 received therein. Alternatively they may be translucent or opaque, and may be colored, such as a latex color or a flesh tone. [0051] Turning to FIGS. 2A-2C, the body 20 has opposing side rails 28 defining two elongate openings or windows 36 extending at least partially between a proximal end 22 and a distal end 24 of the body 20. The two side rails 28 generally have a “C” shape defining a cavity 26 extending axially from the proximal end 22 to the distal end 24 of the body 20. Alternatively, instead of the side rails 28, the body 20 may include a substantially rectangular body having four side walls (not shown). If a four-walled body is provided, it may be desirable to provide one or more elongate openings or windows in one or more of the side walls, preferably in two walls on opposite sides of the body 20. [0052] The inside surfaces 30 of the rails 28 are preferably concave, conforming substantially to the outer diameter of a conventional pre-filled syringe. Alternatively, guide rails, resilient ribs, and the like (not shown) may be provided on the inside surface 30 to facilitate insertion of a cartridge into the cavity 26 and/or to provide lateral support for a syringe received therein. Co-pending application Ser. No. 08/942,938, filed Oct. 2, 1997, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference, discloses exemplary resilient rib structures that may be provided within the body 20. The outer surfaces of the side rails 28 define a substantially rectangular cross-section for the body 20, providing a substantially rigid structure for protecting the syringe 90 received within the body 20. [0053] As best seen in FIG. 2B, a substantially rigid collar 32 is molded on the distal end 24 of the body, the collar 32 preferably having a substantially annular shape. The collar 32 defines an opening 34 for allowing a needle and needle cover on a syringe (not shown) received in the cavity 26 to extend distally beyond the body 20. The opening 34 preferably has a diameter smaller than the cavity 26, such that the distal end 24 substantially retains the syringe inside the cavity 26 preventing distal movement. Alternatively, the distal end 24 may be tapered or otherwise partially obstructed for engaging the distal end of the syringe and/or preventing distal movement of the syringe. Stop tabs 38 may be molded directly on the distal end 24 of the body 20, preferably on two opposite sides of the distal end 24, or alternatively, may be provided on a cantilever member (not shown), such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,030,366, issued to Mitchell, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. [0054] As best seen in FIG. 2C, a finger grip 50 is molded on the proximal end 22 of the body 20 that includes a pair of wing-like members or flanges 52 generally defining a “T” shape. Each wing-like member 52 includes a distal surface or finger ledge 54, and an outer gripping surface 56 extending proximally from the outer edge 54 a of the finger ledge 54. The outer gripping surface 56 may include a lip, grooves, or other irregularities (not shown) protruding radially from its proximal end or set in the surface 56, for example, to facilitate a user holding the finger grip 50. Lateral surfaces 55 extend proximally from the finger ledges 54 between the gripping surfaces 56, thereby defining a recess 51 communicating with the cavity 26 in the body 20. Alternatively, the recess 51 may be eliminated and/or the finger grip 50 may be shortened, for example, to simply be a flat transverse flange for accommodating shorter cartridges (not shown). [0055] A catch or tab 48 may be molded or otherwise extend from one of and preferably both of the lateral surfaces 55 of the finger grip 50. Alternatively, the catch 48 may be provided on the proximal end 22 of the body 20 adjacent the finger grip 50 (not shown). [0056] In a preferred embodiment, a locking mechanism is provided on the finger grip 50 and/or on the proximal end of the body 20 for engaging a flange of a syringe (not shown) received in the cavity 26, and thereby substantially securing the syringe within the body 20. Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a plurality of locking detents 58 at least partially defining an aperture or slot 57 that are formed in lateral surfaces 55 of the finger grip 50 for receiving the flange therein. Alternatively, other locking mechanisms may be provided on the proximal end 22 of the body 20, such as those disclosed in the co-pending application referenced above. In a further alternative, other known mechanisms may be used to secure a syringe within the body 20, such as locking detents or a collet mechanism (not shown) on the distal end 24 of the body 20. [0057] Returning to FIG. 2A, one or more sets of detent pockets may be molded into the body 20 to facilitate securing the relative movement of the shield 60 and body 20. In a preferred embodiment, a set of proximal detent pockets 40 is provided adjacent the finger grip 50, and a set of distal detent pockets 42 is provided at a more distal location on the body 20. Preferably, the proximal detent pockets 40 have sloping distal edges 40 a and substantially blunt proximal edges 40 b. The distal detent pockets 42 also have substantially blunt, and preferably oblique, proximal edges 42 b. [0058] Turning to FIG. 3, the shield 60 is a tubular member adapted to slidably fit on the body 20, preferably having a substantially rectangular interior shape that conforms to the shape of the body 20. The shield 60 includes four side walls 61 a, 61 b, an open proximal end 62, and an open distal end 63. Assembly tabs 72 with sloping or ramped interior surfaces 73 are molded into and extend proximally from the side walls 61 a. [0059] One or more latch members or fingers 74 extend proximally from the shield 60, preferably molded to each of the assembly tabs 72. Alternatively, the latch members 74 may be made as separate pieces that are bonded or otherwise attached to the shield 60, for example, to the outside of the assembly tabs 72, using an adhesive and the like. Each latch member 74 includes an inwardly disposed catch or tab 76 located on an intermediate portion of the latch member 74 between the assembly tab 72 and a tip 78 of the latch member 74. The latch members 74 are preferably provided from a substantially flexible material such that they are resiliently deflectable for deflecting the intermediate portion radially outward, and thereby disengaging the catch 76 from the mating catch 48 on the body 20, but are biased to return inwards to promote engagement with the mating catches 48 on the body 20, as described further below. [0060] A plurality of detent arms 70, preferably in opposing pairs, and a plurality of detents 71 are integrally molded directly onto or otherwise attached to the side walls 61 b. The detents 71 preferably have shapes corresponding substantially to the shapes of the detent pockets 40, 42 in the body 20. Distal edges 71 a of the detents 71 are preferably ramped to facilitate slidable engagement with the distal surfaces 40 a of the proximal detent pockets 40. Proximal edges 71 b of the detents 71 are substantially blunt, and preferably oblique, for positively engaging the proximal edges 42 b of the distal detent pockets 42 and locking the shield 60 in an extended position, as described further below. Additional information on detents and detent pockets for use with the present invention are described in the Mitchell patent referenced above. In addition, the detent arms 70 may include indents (not shown) for controlling the flexural strength of the detent arms 70, as the arms 70 may vary in size and thickness in embodiments adapted to accommodate a variety of syringes. [0061] At least one wall 61 a, and preferably the two opposite walls 61 a, include an elongate opening or window 64 therethrough. The windows 64 may facilitate observation of the syringe received in the body 20, and also provide a traveling slot for the stop tabs 38 on the body 20. The windows 64 have a proximal edge 66 and a distal edge 68 defined by the wall 61 a that limit the relative movement of the shield 60 to the body 20, as explained below. Alternatively, the windows 64 may be divided by a cross-member (not shown) molded into the wall 61 a that extends transversely across the window 64 if it is desired to further limit movement of the shield 60. [0062] Optionally, the side walls 61 a, 61 b may include wings, a ring, or similar finger holds (not shown) extending radially from the shield 60 to ease movement of the shield 60 in relation to the body 20. In addition, the side walls 61 a, 61 b may provide a flat surface onto which a label may be applied, for example to identify the drug, medication, or other fluid contained within the pre-filled syringe 90 received within the guard 10, or an embossed pattern may be molded, possibly including a name or a logo. [0063] Turning to FIGS. 4A-4C, the spring mechanism 80 preferably includes a spring 82 that is coupled to the body 20 and the shield 60 to bias the shield 60 towards an extended position (FIG. 4B). For example, the body 20 and shield 60 may together define an elongate passage 84 within which a helical compression spring 82 may be compressed when the shield 60 is in a retracted position (FIG. 4A). The passage 84 is preferably provided in a corner of the body 20, as best seen in FIG. 4C. Alternatively, a plurality of springs and passages (not shown) may be provided, for example, a pair of springs and passages in diagonally opposite corners of the body 20 to minimize the risk of subjecting the shield 60 to torque as it advances from the retracted to the extended position as may occur if only a single off-center spring is used. [0064] In further alternatives, one or more helical extension springs 82′ may be provided that have respective ends that are secured to the body 20 and shield 60, as is shown schematically in FIGS. 5A-5C. The extension spring 82′ may be provided in a passage or cavity within the shield and/or between the shield and body (not shown). The spring may be under tension when the shield 60 is disposed in the retracted position, thereby biasing the shield 60 towards the extended position. [0065] Alternative spring structures may also be provided that may be coupled to the body 20 and shield 60. For example, FIGS. 12A and 12B show a passive needle guard 210 including a coil spring 282 that has one end mounted around a hub 284 on a body 20 and/or within a housing (not shown) and the other end secured to a shield 60. The coil spring 282 may be unwound as the shield 60 is retracted to the retracted position (FIG. 12A), but be biased to wind back around the hub 284 to advance the shield 60 towards the extended position (FIG. 12B). In a further alternative, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, a passive needle guard 310 may include a leaf spring 382 with ends fixed to a body 20, for distally biasing a hub 384 coupled to a shield 60. The shield 60 may be retracted, thereby deflecting the leaf spring 382 (FIG. 13A), but when the shield 60 is released, the hub 384 and consequently the shield 60 may be advanced to the extended position as the leaf spring 382 returns to its relaxed, undeflected state (FIG. 13B). [0066] In addition, if desired, the spring mechanism may have a nonlinear spring rate, preferably having a spring rate when the shield 60 is disposed in the retracted position that is substantially less than its spring rate when the shield 60 approaches the extended position. A nonlinear spring rate may be useful to provide a passive needle guard that is “softer” upon activation, i.e., the spring 82 may apply a substantially lower force to the shield 60 when it is initially released from the retracted position than when it approaches the final extended position. For example, the thickness of the spring material may be varied along its length, different materials may be used for different portions of the spring, and the like. This “softer” spring may minimize the force with which the shield 60 contacts a patient being injected using the passive needle guard 10, and thereby reduce the discomfort or anxiety that may be experienced by the patient. For example, as explained below, the shield 60 may be activated with a softer force, such that the shield 60 more gently contacts the patient, but when the needle is withdrawn from the patient, a stronger force may be applied to the shield 60 to ensure that it advances completely to the extended position. [0067] Returning to FIG. 1, the passive needle guard 10 is generally provided with the body 20 and shield 60 pre-assembled with the shield 60 in the retracted position. In the retracted position, the catches 76 on the latch members 74 substantially engage the mating catches 48 on the body, thereby securing the shield 60 in the retracted position against the bias provided by the spring mechanism 80. In addition, the detents 71 may be received in the proximal detent pockets 40, thereby providing additional security to hold the shield 60 in the retracted position. Alternatively, the proximal detent pockets 40 may be used merely to receive the detents 71 and thereby allow the detent arms 70 to return to a relaxed state, rather than extending outward along the outer surface of the body 20. In a further alternative, the proximal detent pockets 40 may not be needed and may be eliminated. [0068] With reference to FIGS. 1-6, to assemble the passive needle guard 10, the distal end 24 of the body 20 (see FIG. 2A) is inserted into the open proximal end 62 (see FIG. 3) of the shield 60, with the window 36 in the body 20 aligned with the side wall 61 a of the shield 60 having the window 64 therein. The spring 82 may be positioned within the passage 84 and/or secured to the body 20 and shield 60 in a conventional manner. As the body 20 is inserted, the stop tab 38 engages a tapered interior edge (not shown) of the assembly tab 72 on the shield 60, allowing the stop tab 38 to pass under the side wall 61 a. After the stop tab 38 passes under the side wall 61 a, it may enter the window 64 where it may freely travel. [0069] As best seen in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the stop tab 38 and window 64 cooperate to allow the shield 60 to slidably move in relation to the body 20, but substantially define the limits of their relative movement. The shield 60 may slide proximally and distally until the stop tab 38 abuts a distal edge 68 and a proximal edge 66 of the window 64, respectively. Specifically, when the stop tab 38 engages the distal edge 68 of the window 64, as shown in FIG. 4A, the shield 60 is in the retracted or unguarded position. When the stop tab 38 engages the proximal edge 66 of the window 64, as shown in FIG. 4B, the shield is in the extended or guarded position. [0070] While the stop tab 38 and window 64 cooperate to limit the movement of the shield 60, the catches 48, 76, and the cooperating detents 71 and detent pockets 40, 42 on the shield 60 and body 20 also cooperate to hold the shield 60 either in the retracted position and/or in the extended position. During assembly, the latch members 74 may be deflected radially outwardly to avoid contact between the catches 76 thereon and the mating catches 48 on the body 20. Similarly, the detent arms 70 may be deflected radially outwardly such that the detents 71 do not engage the distal detent pockets 42 while the shield 60 is directed to the retracted position. [0071] As best seen in FIG. 1, once the shield 60 is fully retracted, the latch members 74 and the detent arms 70 are released, whereupon they resiliently return inward such that the catches 76 on the latch members 74 engage the mating catches 48 on the body 20, and the detents 71 engage the proximal detent pockets 40. In the retracted position, the stop tab 38 also abuts the distal edge 68 of the window 64, thereby preventing further proximal movement of the shield 60. The sloping distal edges 71 a of the detents 71 engage the sloping distal edges 40 a of the proximal detent pockets 40 on the body 20, thereby assisting the cooperating catches 48, 76 in preventing the shield 60 from moving distally. However, the frictional resistance between the sloping distal edges 71 a, 40 a of the detents 71 and the proximal detent pockets 40 may be overcome by a distal force, such as that provided by the spring mechanism 80 when the catches 48, 76 are released, as described further below. In addition, the slope of the sloping edges 40 a, 42 a may be adjusted to increase or decrease the frictional resistance, for example, to slow the shield 60 down when it initially advances from the retracted position. [0072] Turning to FIGS. 1 and 5A-5C, once assembled, the passive needle guard 10 is ready to receive a cartridge, such as a conventional unit dose pre-filled syringe 90. The syringe 90 is preferably pre-assembled within the passive needle guard 10 before being furnished to a user, for example, at the time of manufacturing the passive needle guard 10. Alternatively, the user may be able to insert the syringe 90 into the passive needle guard 10 themselves if care is taken not to activate the shield 60 during assembly. [0073] The preferred cartridge is a pre-filled syringe 90 that generally has a substantially smooth-walled cylindrical barrel 92 (see FIG. 1), a distal end or hub 94 including a hypodermic needle 95, a needle cover or cap (not shown), a proximal end 93 having a flange 96 (see FIG. 1), and a plunger 98. The flange 96 generally includes a flat edge 96 a, possibly in a predetermined orientation with a label or graduation marks 92 a on the barrel 92 of the pre-filled syringe 90. The flange 96 may have a sufficiently large width to provide a finger grip for the syringe 90, or may simply be a small lip to facilitate manufacturing, for example, on a filling line. [0074] Although the syringe 90 shown is the preferred medication delivery system that may be used with a passive needle guard in accordance with the present invention, it will be appreciated that the passive needle guard 10 may be modified for use with other pre-filled or unit dose delivery systems, and that the term cartridge may include other such known systems. For example, the finger grip 50 on the proximal end 22 of the body 20 may be replaced with a plunger and plug assembly (not shown), such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,400, issued to Firth et al., the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the collar 32 on the distal end 24 of the body 20 may be replaced with a double-ended needle cannula, such as that disclosed in the Firth et al. patent. [0075] The distal end or hub 94 of the syringe 90 is inserted into the recess 51 of the finger grip 50 and the open proximal end 22 of the body 20 until it enters the cavity 26 and progresses distally towards the distal end 24 of the body 20. Once fully encapsulated, the distal end 94 of the syringe 90 may simply abut the distal end 24 of the body 20, or alternatively the distal end 94 may partially enter the opening 34 and engage the collar 32, thereby providing additional protection from lateral movement of the syringe 90. [0076] Before the syringe 90 is inserted into the body 20 or before the flange 96 contacts the latch members 74, the latch members 74 may be deflected radially outward, while securing the shield 60 in the retracted position, for example, manually or in a jig or other mechanism. Thus, any contact between the latch members 74 and the syringe 90 may be avoided until the flange 96 passes the tips 78 of the latch members 74 and enters the recess 51 of the finger grip 50. The latch members 74 may then be released such that the catches 76 again engage the mating catches 48 on the body 20. [0077] Alternatively, the syringe 90 may be inserted into the body 20 while the shield 60 is extended and the latch members 74 are consequently positioned distally away from the recess 51 into which the syringe 90 is to be inserted. Once the syringe 90 is fully inserted, the detents 71 may be disengaged from the distal detent pockets 42 and the shield 60 may be directed to the retracted position. In another alternative embodiment, an intermediate stop (not shown) may be provided to hold the shield 60 in a position between the extended and retracted positions, wherein the latch members 74 may be located distally away from the recess 51 into which the syringe 90 is to be inserted. Once the syringe 90 has been inserted, the shield may be directed to the retracted position where the catches 48, 76 may engage each other. The intermediate stop may then be disabled, for example, by being deflected or broken off, thereby preventing the intermediate stop from subsequently interfering with advancement of the shield 60 from the retracted position to the extended position. [0078] As best seen in FIGS. 1 and 2C, as the syringe 90 becomes fully encapsulated within the cavity 26, the flange 96 of the syringe 90 contacts the locking detents 58 on the finger grip 50. The locking detents 58 have tapered proximal edges 58 a, allowing the syringe 90 to be directed further distally, the flange 96 moving the locking detents 58 aside and entering the slot 57. The locking detents 58 have substantially blunt distal edges 58 b that prevent the syringe 90 from being removed proximally from the slot 57, thereby substantially permanently locking the syringe 90 into the body 20, and preventing axial (i.e. proximal and/or distal) movement of the syringe 90 within the passive needle guard 10. [0079] Returning to FIGS. 1 and 5A-5C, once the syringe 90 is locked into the passive needle guard 10 (the finger grip and locking mechanism are absent from FIGS. 5A-5C for simplification), the needle 95 and its cover (not shown) extend through the opening 34 on the collar 32 and the opening 65 on the distal end 63 of the shield 60. Preferably, the length of the shield 60 is substantially coextensive with the barrel 92 of the syringe 90, allowing the needle 95 to extend beyond the distal end 63 of the shield 60, but protecting the hub 94 of the pre-filled syringe 90. [0080] The distal opening 65 in the shield 60 is generally circular and has a diameter larger than that of the needle 95 on the syringe 90, and may be provided with a variety of diameters, for example, larger than the syringe barrel 92 and/or hub 94, or configurations to facilitate use of the syringe 90. For example, the diameter of the opening 65 may be sufficiently large to accommodate a luer adapter (not shown) or other alternative distal tip to be provided on the syringe 90 or attached to the hub 94. Most preferably, the opening 65 has a diameter sufficiently small to minimize the risk of accidental sticks, for example, to prevent a finger from being directed into the shield 60 after use. [0081] Turning to FIG. 5A, the syringe 90 encapsulated within the passive needle guard 10 may then be used in a conventional manner to deliver medication in the barrel 92. The needle cover (not shown) may be removed, the needle 95 inserted into the patient (not shown), and the medication delivered by depressing the plunger 98 distally. As may be seen from FIG. 1, the windows 64, 36 may facilitate observation of the barrel 92 of the syringe 90, allowing the user to monitor delivery of the medication therein. [0082] As shown in FIG. 5B, the plunger 98 may be depressed until the thumb pad 99 contacts the tips 78 of the latch members 74. As the plunger 98 is depressed further, the thumb pad 99 causes the latch members 74 to compress axially and thereby deflect radially outwardly until the catches 76 are disengaged from the mating catches 48 on the body 20. In an alternative embodiment, shown in FIG. 14, a resilient latch member 274 may be provided that extends proximally from the body 20, the latch member 274 including an outwardly disposed catch 276. The shield 60 may include a mating catch or pocket 248 for receiving the catch 276 on the latch member 274. Thus, when the plunger 98 is depressed, the latch member 274 may be deflectable radially inward for disengaging the catches 248, 276. In a second alternative embodiment, shown in FIG. 15, the body 20 may include an axially deflectable latch member 374 that has a ramped distal edge 372 opposite its proximal tip 378. The shield 60 may include a ramped proximal edge 349 on its proximal end 322 for engaging the ramped distal edge 372 of the latch member 374. The shield 60 and body include cooperating catches 376 and/or pockets 348 for engaging one another. When the plunger 98 is depressed distally, it may push the latch member 374 distally, thereby causing the ramped edges 349, 372 to slidably engage one another and deflect the proximal end 322 of the shield 60 radially outward until the catch 376 is disengaged from the pocket 348. [0083] With the catches 48, 76 disengaged, the spring mechanism 80 biases the shield 60 distally, whereupon the shield 60 may automatically advance towards the extended position, shown in FIG. 5C. The latch members 74 merely slide along the body 20 as the shield 60 advances. Thus, the shield 60 may be automatically activated and advanced without requiring any action from the user other than depression of the plunger 98. Because of the predetermined location of the distal detent pockets 42, when the stop tab 38 reaches the proximal edge 66 of the window 64, the detents 71 substantially simultaneously enter the distal detent pockets 42, as may be seen in FIG. 4B. The blunt or oblique proximal edges 71 b of the detents 71 engage the similarly shaped proximal edges 42 b of the distal detent pockets 42, thereby preventing the shield 60 from being moved proximally. In an alternative embodiment, the body 20 may include pockets (not shown) for receiving the catches 76 on the latch members 74 when the shield 60 reaches the extended position, thereby further securing the shield 60 from proximal movement. Furthermore, because the stop tab 38 abuts the proximal edge 66 of the window 64, the shield 60 may not be moved further distally. Thus, the shield 60 is thereby substantially permanently locked in the extended position. [0084] As best seen in FIG. 5C, as the shield 60 advances to the extended position, the distal end 63 of the shield 60 passes over the needle 95, covering the needle 95. Once the shield 60 is locked in the extended position, the needle 95 may no longer be accessible, thereby substantially eliminating the risk of accidental sticks, and preventing reuse of the syringe 90. The guard 10 and syringe 90 may then be disposed of in a conventional manner. [0085] A useful feature of the passive needle guard is that the latch members 74 and/or the plunger 98 have predetermined relative lengths to activate the shield 60 at a desired time during the plunger stroke. For example, it may be desirable to activate the shield 60 early in the stroke such that the shield 60 is activated and advanced into contact with the patient's skin. Upon removal of the needle from the patient, the shield 60 simply slides completely to the extended position, automatically covering the needle 95 as it is withdrawn from the patient. Alternatively, the latch members 74 and/or plunger 98 may be configured to activate the shield 60 only upon complete depression of the plunger 98. In a further alternative, the plunger 98 may include a radial portion, such as a tab or an annular rib (not shown), at an intermediate location thereon. The radial portion may engage and deflect the latch members 75 during depression of the plunger 98, similar to the thumb pad 99 described above. [0086] Turning to FIGS. 7A-11E, a second preferred embodiment of a passive needle guard 110 is shown that includes a body 120, a shield 160, and a spring mechanism 180, similar to the previous embodiment. As best seen in FIGS. 10A-10E, the body 120 has opposing side rails 128 defining two elongate openings or windows 136 and a cavity 126 extending between its proximal and distal ends 122, 124. Stop tabs 138 are molded on the distal end 124 of the body 120, preferably on two cantilever members 139 on opposite sides of the distal end 124. Catches or tabs 148 are molded on the proximal end 122 of the body 120. [0087] A finger grip 150 is molded on the proximal end 122 of the body 120 that includes a pair of wing-like members or flanges 152 generally defining a “T” shape. A plurality of locking detents 158 partially defining an aperture or slot 157 are formed in lateral surfaces 155 of the finger grip 150. In addition, the finger grip 150 includes a pair of axial flanges 159 that extend distally from finger ledges 154. The axial flanges 159 are spaced apart from the side rails 128, and the finger ledges 154 have apertures 153 therethrough between the axial flanges 159 and the side rails 128. [0088] A set of proximal detent pockets 140 is provided adjacent the finger grip 150, and a set of distal detent pockets 142 is provided at a more distal location on the body 120. Preferably, the proximal detent pockets 140 have sloping distal edges 140 a and substantially blunt proximal edges 140 b, and the distal detent pockets 142 have substantially blunt proximal edges 142 b, similar to the embodiment described above. [0089] Turning to FIGS. 11A-11E, the shield 160 is a tubular member adapted to slidably fit on the body 120 that includes four side walls 161 a, 161 b, an open proximal end 162, and an open distal end 163. Assembly tabs 172 with sloping or ramped interior surfaces 173 are molded into and extend proximally from the side walls 161 a. At least one wall 161 a, and preferably the two opposite walls 161 a, include an elongate opening or window 164 therethrough to facilitate observation of a syringe received in the body 120, and also to provide a traveling slot for the stop tabs 138 on the body 120. [0090] One or more latch members or fingers 174 extend proximally from the shield 160, preferably molded to each of the side walls 161 b. Each latch member 174 includes an inwardly disposed catch or tab 176 located on an intermediate portion of the latch member 174 between the assembly tab 172 and a tip 178 of the latch member 174. [0091] A plurality of detent arms 170 and a plurality of detents 171 are molded directly to the side walls 161 b. The detents 171 preferably have shapes corresponding substantially to the shapes of the detent pockets 140, 142 in the body 120. Distal edges 171 a of the detents 171 are preferably ramped to facilitate slidable engagement with the distal surfaces 140 a of the proximal detent pockets 140. Proximal edges 171 b of the detents 171 are substantially blunt for positively engaging the proximal edges 142 b of the distal detent pockets 142 and locking the shield 160 in an extended position. [0092] Turning to FIG. 7D, the spring mechanism 180 preferably includes a compression spring 182 that is disposed between the body 120 and the shield 60 to bias the shield 160 towards an extended position. The body 120 includes a substantially blunt distal surface 125 and the shield 160 includes a substantially blunt inner collar 167. The spring 182 may be positioned concentrically within the shield 160 such that respective ends of the spring 182 engage the distal surface 125 and the inner collar 167. Thus, the body 120 and shield 160 together at least partially define an annular space 184 within which the compression spring 182 may be compressed when the shield 160 is in a retracted position (shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B). [0093] The passive needle guard 110 is pre-assembled similar to the embodiment described above, such that the shield 160 is disposed in a retracted position, as shown in FIGS. 7A-7D. In the retracted position, the latch members 174 extend through the corresponding apertures 153 in the finger grip 150, and the shield 160 passes freely between the axial flanges 159 on the finger grip 150 and the side rails 128 on the body 120. The catches 176 on the latch members 174 engage the mating catches 148 on the body, as best seen in FIG. 7C, thereby restraining the shield 160 in the retracted position. In addition, as best seen in FIG. 7A, the stop tabs 138 abut the distal edge 168 of the windows 164 and the detents 171 are received in the proximal detent pockets 140 in the retracted position. [0094] A syringe 90, such as a pre-filled unit dose syringe, may be inserted axially into the body 120 through the open proximal end 22 until the barrel 92 is fully received in the cavity 126. A flange 96 on the syringe 90 may be received in the slot 157 defined by the locking detents 158, thereby substantially permanently locking the syringe 90 within the body 120. When the syringe 90 is inserted into the body 120, the latch members 174 may be deflected radially outwardly (not shown) while restraining the shield 160 in the retracted position to avoid contact between the flange 96 on the syringe 90 and the latch member 174. Alternatively, the syringe 90 may be inserted into the body 120 before the shield 160 is attached to the body 120 or before the shield 160 is directed to the retracted position to prevent accidental activation of the shield 160 during insertion of the syringe 90. [0095] As described above, the passive needle guard 110 and syringe 90 may then be used to inject medication in the syringe 90 into a patient (not shown). A needle cover (not shown) may be removed from the needle 95, and the needle 95 inserted into the patient. Medication may then be delivered by directing the plunger 98 distally with the user's thumb until the thumb pad 99 contacts the tips 178 of the latch members 174. As the plunger 98 is depressed further, the thumb pad 99 causes the latch members 174 to compress axially and thereby deflect radially outwardly until the catches 176 are disengaged from the mating catches 148 on the body 120. With the catches 148, 176 disengaged, the spring mechanism 180 automatically advances the shield 160 distally towards the extended position, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. The latch members 174 move distally through the apertures 153 in the finger grip 150 and slide along the body 120 as the shield 160 advances. [0096] As best seen in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the needle 95 is withdrawn from the patient, the shield 160 may advance fully to the extended position such that the shield 160 passes over and substantially covers the needle 95. In the extended position, the detents 171 are received in the distal detent pockets 142, thereby preventing subsequent proximal movement of the shield 160. The stop tabs 138 also abut the proximal edges 166 of the windows 164, thereby preventing further distal movement of the shield 160. Thus, the shield 160 is substantially permanently locked in the extended position, thereby preventing reuse of the syringe 90 and/or facilitating safe disposal of the passive needle guard 110 and syringe 90. In the extended position, the spring 182 may remain slightly compressed to provide a distal force that may ensure that the shield 160 is fully advanced and the detents 171 are received in the distal detent pockets 142. [0097] A useful feature of this embodiment is the axial flanges 159 that extend from the finger grip 150. When a user grasps the finger grip 150, they generally place their fingers on the finger ledges 154. The axial flanges 159 prevent the fingers on the finger ledges 154 from contacting the shield 160. Otherwise, the user's fingers may interfere with the automatic movement of the shield 160 when the catches 148, 176 are disengaged. [0098] Alternatively, it may be useful to eliminate the axial flanges 159 and allow the user to engage the shield 160 with their fingers, for example, when the user wants to manually augment or control the speed with which the shield 160 extends once it is activated. Alternatively, the axial flanges 159 may be sufficiently flexible, that the user may be able to deflect them slightly radially inward to contact the shield 160 and slow its advancement. Slowing the speed of activation may minimize discomfort or fear, particularly when dealing with younger patients. In addition, it may prevent abrupt extension of the shield 160, which may interfere with an injection made subcutaneously at an extreme angle. [0099] In further alternatives, additional elements may be provided on the body 120 and/or shield 160 to slow advancement of the shield 160 from its initial activation in the retracted position, but allow free advancement as the shield 160 approaches the extended position. For example, a frictional material (not shown) may be applied to one or more contact surfaces between the body 120 and shield 160 that may increase the frictional resistance in the retracted position. An adhesive tape or viscous material may be provided that peels off of, is cut or torn, or otherwise separates from the body 120 and/or shield 160 after partial advancement of the shield 160. One or more “speed bumps” or similar protruding structures (not shown) may be molded into or otherwise provided on the body 120 and/or shield 160 that may be contacted when the shield 160 is in or close to the retracted position. A feature on one of the body 120 or shield 160 may travel through a corresponding tortuous feature on the other of the body 120 or shield 160 to slow the shield 160 down initially. In a further alternative, a spring or cushioned pad (not shown) may be provided on the distal end of the shield 160 that may soften the force with which the shield 160 contacts the patient as it is advanced. [0100] Turning to FIGS. 16A-16C, a method for performing an injection using a passive needle guard 110, such as that just described, is shown. Unlike the previous embodiments, which generally discuss a shield advancing over a needle, this method involves holding a shield 160 of the guard 110 substantially stationary such that a body 120 of the guard 110 may be automatically and/or controllably directed proximally to retract a needle 95 within the shield 160. The body 120 and shield 160 are slidably attached to each other, similar to the previous embodiments. The guard 110 includes a spring mechanism 180, similar to the previous embodiments, for biasing the body 120 towards a position wherein the shield 160 substantially covers the needle 95. [0101] Generally, the passive needle guard 110 may be provided with a syringe 90 received therein, as shown in FIG. 7A. As best seen in FIG. 16A, a needle cover (not shown) may be removed from the needle 95, and the needle 95 may be inserted into a patient's skin 100. A user may grasp distal finger grips 250, or otherwise grip an outer surface of the shield 160. Thus, the shield 160 may be grasped to hold the passive needle guard 110 substantially stationary with respect to the skin 100 during the injection. [0102] To deliver medication from the syringe 90, the user may grip the finger grips 250 and apply a distal force on the plunger 98, preferably until thumb pad 99 engages latch members 174 extending from the passive needle guard 110. As the plunger 98 is depressed further, the thumb pad 99 causes the latch members 174 to compress axially and thereby deflect radially outwardly until the catches 176 (not shown in FIGS. 16A-16C) are disengaged from the mating catches 148 (also not shown) on the body 120. With the catches 148, 176 disengaged, the spring mechanism 180 automatically biases the body 120 towards a retracted position, shown in FIG. 16C. [0103] Once the catches 148, 176 are disengaged, the user may gradually remove the distal force applied to the plunger 98, allowing a controlled retraction of the body 120 to the retracted position. As the body 120 retracts to the retracted position, the shield 160 remains substantially stationary with respect to the patient's skin 100, and the needle 95 may be withdrawn from the patient and into the shield 160, as shown in FIGS. 16B and 16C. Once in the fully retracted position, cooperating detents 171, 142 on the shield 160 and body 120 engage one another to substantially and permanently locking the shield 160 over the needle 95. Thus, the user may hold the distal finger grips 250 to hold the shield a predetermined distance way from the patient's skin 100, thereby avoiding any sudden contact between the shield 160 and the patient's skin 100 when the catches 148, 176 are disengaged. [0104] Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 17A-17C, the user may hold the passive needle guard 110 using finger grips 150, which extend from the body 120. The user may grip the finger grips 150, insert the needle 95 into the patient's skin 100, and inject medication by applying a distal force to the plunger 98 until the thumb pad engages a latch member 174 extending from the passive needle guard 110. As described above, further depression of the plunger 98 deflects the latch member 174 to disengage the cooperating catches 176, and releases the shield 160. The shield 160 may then automatically advance into contact with the patient's skin 100, as shown in FIG. 16B. The plunger 98 may be further advanced to complete the injection. Preferably, because the spring 182 is not fully expanded, the body 120 remains biased to retract with respect to the shield 160 towards the retracted position. At this point, the user may gradually remove the distal force applied to the plunger 98, allowing controlled retraction of the body 120 to the retracted position, as shown in FIG. 17C. Once the body 120 retracts to the retracted position, the cooperating detents 171, 142 may engage one another to substantially and permanently lock the shield 160 over the needle 95, similar to the embodiment discussed above. [0105] Turning to FIGS. 18A-18G, another preferred embodiment of a passive needle guard 410 is shown that may facilitate retraction of a body 420 containing a syringe 90 with respect to a shield 460. Generally, as best seen in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the guard 410 includes body 420, shield 460, and a spring mechanism (not shown), similar to the previous embodiments. The body 420 includes a cavity 426 extending between proximal and distal ends 422, 424 for receiving a syringe 90. Stop tabs 438 are molded on the distal end 424 of the body 420, preferably on cantilever members 439 on opposite sides of the distal end 424. A plurality of locking detents 458 partially defining an aperture or slot 457 are formed in lateral surfaces 455 on the proximal end 422. A set of proximal detent pockets 440 is provided adjacent the proximal end 422, and a set of distal detent pockets 442 is provided at a more distal location on the body 420, all similar to the previous embodiments. [0106] The shield 460 is a generally tubular member adapted to slidably fit on the body 420 that includes an open proximal end 462, and an open distal end 463. At least one wall 461 a, and preferably two opposite walls 461 a, include an elongate opening or window 464 therethrough to facilitate observation of the syringe 90 received in the body 420, and also to provide a traveling slot for the stop tabs 438 on the body 420. A plurality of detent arms 470 and a plurality of detents 471 are molded directly to the side walls 461 b. The detents 471 preferably have shapes corresponding substantially to the shapes of the detent pockets 440, 442 in the body 420, and cooperate similar to the embodiments described above. The shield 460 also includes a pair of finger grips 450 that extend substantially transversely outward from the shield 460. [0107] With particular reference to FIGS. 18C-18G, a pair of latch members 474 extend proximally from the shield 460, preferably molded to each of the side walls 461 b. Each latch member 474 includes a pair of catches or tabs 478 located on an intermediate portion of the latch member 474. Preferably, the tabs 478 include tapered proximal edges 478 a and substantially blunt distal edges 478 b. Mating catches, in the form of slotted apertures 448, are provided on the proximal end 422 of the body 420 for cooperating with the catches 478 on the respective latch members 474. As best seen in FIGS. 18E and 18F, the apertures include a relative wide region 448 a and a relatively narrow region 448 b, thereby defining catch surface 449. [0108] The apertures 448 may be provided in a protective housing 427 on the proximal end 422 of the body 420, as shown in FIGS. 18A-18C. Preferably, the housing 427 is molded to the body 420 and includes the locking detents 458. Thus, the housing 427 may be similar to the finger grips described with respect to the embodiments above, although possibly with a smaller profile. [0109] During assembly of the body 420 and shield 460, the tapered proximal edges 478 a of the latch member 474 may facilitate insertion of the latch member 474 through the aperture 448, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. The blunt distal edges 478 b of the latch member 474 may enhance engagement with the catch surfaces 449, i.e., to prevent relative movement of the body 420 and shield 460, as described below. [0110] Returning to FIGS. 18A-18C, the syringe 90 includes a customized plunger 198 that includes an intermediate trigger flange 197 distal to thumb pad 199, although a conventional plunger (not shown) may also be provided). Preferably, the trigger flange 197 is molded to the plunger 198, and includes an annular proximal portion 197 a that has a diameter smaller than an annular distal portion 197 b. Thus, the trigger flange 197 includes one or more pockets 197 c for receiving a tip 476 of the latch member 474 on the shield 460, as described below. [0111] Before use of the guard 410, e.g. during manufacturing, the body 420, shield 460 and spring mechanism (not shown) are assembled until as shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B. In the assembled configuration, the catches 478 on the latch members 474 engage the mating catches 449 on the body 420. Specifically, as best seen in FIGS. 18E and 18G, the blunt distal edges 478 b of the catches 478 abut the catch surfaces 449 defined by the apertures 448. Returning to FIGS. 18A and 18B, the syringe 90 may be encapsulated in the body 420, e.g., during manufacturing or prior to use, similar to the embodiments described above. Preferably, the syringe 90 is inserted into the open proximal end 422 of the body 420 and into the cavity 426 until a flange 96 on the syringe 90 is received in the slot 457 defined by locking detents 458, thereby locking the syringe 90 into the body 420. [0112] The guard 410 may then be used, similar to the embodiments described above, to inject medication within the syringe 90 into a patient. The needle 95 is inserted into a patient's skin (not shown), while the user holds the finger grips 450 (e.g., with their index and middle fingers) and thumb pad 199 (e.g., with their thumb). Distal force is applied to the thumb pad 199, thereby depressing the plunger 198 and injecting medication within the syringe 90 through the needle 95. The plunger 98 is depressed until the tips 476 of the latch members 474 engage the pocket 197 c of the trigger flange 197. As the plunger 198 is depressed further, the trigger flange 197 causes the latch members 474 to compress axially and thereby deflect radially outwardly, as indicated by arrow 480 (representing the distal or depression force) and arrow 482 (representing the deflection outward of the latch member 474). [0113] As best seen in FIGS. 18E-18G, as the latch members 474 are deflected radially outward from a relaxed position (FIG. 18E) to a deflected position (FIG. 18F), the catches 478 are disengaged from the catch surfaces 449. This releases the body 420 and shield 460 and allows them to move relative to one another. Similar to the previous embodiments, because of the spring mechanism (not shown), the body 420 is biased to retract proximally, since the shield 460 is held stationary by the finger grips 450. As the user withdraws the distal force from the thumb pad 199, the body 420 may move proximally until the needle 95 is withdrawn from the patient and into the shield 460. When the plunger 198 is finally released, the body 420 fully retracts to a retracted position, whereupon the cooperating detents 442, 471 on the body 420 and shield 460 engage one another to lock the body 420 in the retracted position, similar to the embodiments described above. [0114] Turning to FIGS. 19A-19C, another embodiment of a passive needle guard 510 is shown that includes a body 520, a shield 560, and a spring mechanism (not shown), similar to the previous embodiments. The body 520 includes a cavity 526 for receiving a syringe 90, and a plurality of locking detents 558 for engaging a flange 96 on the syringe 90. The shield 560 includes a pair of finger grips 550, similar to the previous embodiment. The body 520 and shield 560 include cooperating detents 540, 542, 571 for holding the body 520 in extended and retracted positions. [0115] The shield 560 also includes a pair of latch members 574 including a pair of catches 578. Mating catches, namely slotted apertures 548, are provided on the proximal end 522 of the body 520 for cooperating with the catches 578 on the respective latch members 574. Preferably, each latch member 574 includes an angled tip portion 576, as best seen in FIG. 19C. The angled portion 576 of each latch member 574 extends substantially transversely outward at an acute angle, e.g., between about thirty and sixty (30-60) degrees, thereby defining an angled surface 576 a. The syringe 90 includes a plunger 298 that may include a trigger flange 297. The trigger flange 297 may have an angled outer edge 297 a or a substantially blunt outer edge (not shown) for engaging the angled surfaces 576 a of the latch members 574. [0116] This embodiment operates substantially similarly to the previous embodiment, except that the tip portions 576 of the latch members 574 are deflected radially outward to disengage the catches 578, rather than being compressed. Thus, when the plunger 98 is depressed, the trigger flange 297 engages and deflects the angled surfaces 576 a, deflecting the latch members 574 outward until the catches 578 disengage catch surfaces (not shown) of apertures 548, releasing the body 520 and shield 560. Thus, the body 520 may automatically and/or controllably be retracted to withdraw the needle 95 into the shield 560, as described above. [0117] While the invention is susceptible to various modifications, and alternative forms, specific examples thereof have been shown in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not to be limited to the particular forms or methods disclosed, but to the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

We spent one night here while at a friends wedding nearby. The hotel was excellent in all respects. We found the staff very helpful and welcoming, and they dealt with our check in and out with speed and efficiency. We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast here, and all were very tasty - there is lots of competition in the town and this place really holds it's own. Our room was modern, with high quality fixtures and fittings, and had excellent views over the harbour. When we checked out we vowed to return for a longer stay.

Harbour House Hotel is a friendly B&B ideally located in the village of Portpatrick with sweeping views of the harbor and coast. We had a lovely first floor room (2nd floor U.S. style) with one windowseat/window overlooking the sea, another overlooking the village, and a gas fireplace in between. The hotel has been recently remodeled and the large rooms (we had No. 4) have been very tastefully furnished. Breakfasts were cooked to order and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We especially appreciated the beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for us in our room when we checked in (we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary). You can't go wrong with this hotel.

Just back from a few days break in portpatrick, at the harbour house hotel. Stayed in a fantastic room, recently refurbished, with wonderful views. Breakfast was great and so were the staff. Ate here in the evening one night and couldn't fault the food. Will definitely be back again next year.

What a wonderful story! Nicholas Sparks went far beyond the creation of just another "tear jerker", the book touches ones soul, as Sparks reflects of many of the questions that sooner or later we all ask us in our lives. What is the purpose of my life? What truly brings joy to me? What will it be that I will have in my head to take with me, when it is finally time to go? And so many more...
All this packaged in a gripping yet gently told love story that leads us on a emotional roller coaster (as life is), and it is hard to take a break before the story ends. Recommended by a man, especially to all other men out there.
It is sad that many women (especially in the U.S.) think, that men can not express their feelings or truly share their love and emotions, and even enclose their own husbands in that generalization.
They need to ask themselves why did they marry this "great", yet emotion-less man in the first place.
Our society certainly can improve to participate in the upbringing of more gentle, warm, caring, loving, and emotionally secure males, but many of them already exist, just open your eyes...

I really enjoyed this book. It shows the strength of true love and how powerful it can be. I was hooked from the beginning, and had a hard time turning the player off when it was time to leave work. You will probably need a tissue!

"Good book, annoying music"
The book "The Notebook" is nice. Very sweet, like the movie. However, I did not like this particular AudioBook because of the loud, obnoxious music that played in the background. The music was entirely too loud which made the narration very hard to hear, and I also found it distracting. I doubt I'll buy another audiobook from this particular maker.

"Good story, but hated Narration"
the narrator's voice was too old sounding for Noah's charactor. Made certain scenes seem creepy. Also the little music incerpts were awful.
"Enjoyed the movie more"
I am a huge fan of the movie the Notebook (who isn't?!) and actually enjoyed the movie much more than the book, usually it's the opposite. I like the characters betters in the movie version, Noah in the book and in the movie seemed like two totally different characters, and I like the movie version better, maybe it's because Ryan gosling did such a great job portraying him but I didn't care
For the book version of Noah. Still a great love story but found the movie better.
Poli MIAMI, FL, United States 03-05-12
The book is simply beautiful, the story is very romantic and details in the description of the landscape and the characters I love.

"AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
YES! The writting is so amazing & heartfelt..
I enjoyed listening to Noah's love story for his long lost love. He really loved Ali and he never stopped loving her. I was literally in tears.....
Have you listened to any of Barry Bostwick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
If you could take any character from The Notebook out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Noah..He is such a poet and a sweetheart!

5.0 out of 5 starsBest price/quantity ive found
ByChrison September 13, 2014
best price ive found for this standard brewing additive. I was getting tired of having to buy gypsum by the ounce at homebrew shops for five dollars, and only having enough for 3 or 4 batches. This item is a fraction of the cost and should last me at least 20 batches of beer.
3.0 out of 5 starsNot sure is the quality is up to par
BySeth A. Ratneron May 21, 2015
I don't know what you are expecting from a bag of white powder. I needed this as a coagulant for making tofu. I will admit that I have very little experience in this endeavor, so I can't say for sure if my problem was with the gypsum, or something else in the process. In either case, it took a much larger amount of gypsum to get my soy milk to coagulate than the recipe I used suggested. Much, much more in fact (4-5x as much). I know little about gypsum, so if there are various qualities or potencies, I am unaware.
I'll try a different brand next time. Still this was cheap and accessible, so it gets 3 stars.

I've been working on a Young Adult novel for some time. It's an adventure story that takes place in the run up to WWII. I also have several screenplays in various states of unsold/unoptionedness despite good showings in contests and at festivals. I do get paid to write magazine articles and ghost write op-eds and things of that nature.
Hi, Michael Klein here, one of your group leaders. I was telling my then 5-1/2 year old a bedtime story and she said, "No, no, dad. A story has to have a beginning, a middle, and an end." Maybe she should lead the group?
Great writing, thoughtful critique. A very supportive group!

The Caline Conspiracy by M.H. Mead | 2940014314527 | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble
The Caline Conspiracy [NOOK Book]
Overview Calines are the perfect pets. Smarter than border collies, playful as otters, elegant as cats, calines have been genetically engineered to be everything a pet owner could want. Except that they might kill you one day. The world is shocked when geneticist Ivan Frithke is murdered, and his own pet caline, ...
The Caline Conspiracy is a near future adventure by the author of the critically-acclaimed Good Fences and Fate’s Mirror. It will appeal to fans of William Gibson and Charles Stross.
Papyrus Independent Book Reviews
- Papyrus Reviews
It’s the why and how that provides the interest. Additionally some of the scenes toward the end have an action thriller feel as the final pieces fall into place. I enjoyed The Caline Conspiracy. The perficats scene alone is worth the small price of admission and the sinister revelation manages to lend sufficient weight to the final chapters to give satisfaction.

This is one of the most creative and original books I have read This is one of the most creative and original books I have read all year. Set in the future, The Caline Conspiracy by M.H. Mead is more complex than it appears at first glance. There were many layers to this story, such as the ethical implications of manipulating genes for benefits, and just how far science can (and should) go for the sake of helping humanity. I liked the different angles presented of people for and against the engineered pets, and liked that it caused me to think in a different way. The book itself is very good, and I enjoyed it immensely. There were only a few parts that I thought were a tad slow or confusing, but overall I’d say I really liked it. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Wow, what an awesome book! First off the writing is absolutelytop-notch; some of the best I have come across in the Indie circuit, andI read A LOT. It was fast paced, had a great hook right from the get-go,and continually built the tension right up to the end. I admit I was bitwary about reading it at first as I am not a huge sci-fi reader, andonly picked it up because the premise sounded interesting. But I wouldsay that although this book is set in the future and had some sci-fielements, it was not heavy on them, they more like enhanced the storyinstead of really driving it, and for me this was a huge bonus. All inall a wonderful read that I will definitely be recommending to myfriends.

5 out of 5 stars: This book successfully mingles elements from science fiction and mystery with the attachment people have to their pets to excellent effect. The authors have also created complex and interesting characters across the board, from central characters to minor ones. The people and the society of the book are well defined and well developed without being trite on one hand or over explained on the other. The balance in this book is really incredible, and the ideas and questions the book deals with have surprising depth and resonance with our present world. Also, flawlessly edited and formatted and intelligently written. This book offers a little something for an incredibly wide variety of people, and uses each element perfectly from beginning to end. It’s a book that defines what a 5 star book should be, and illustrates some of the great possibilities open to independent writers and audiences. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
This is another tale set in the same universe and featuring the This is another tale set in the same universe and featuring the same characters as Mead's previous work FATE'S MIRROR, which I've also read. In comparison to that work, THE CALINE CONSPIRACY is a much better book in my opinion. The character of Aidra, who is only a secondary character in Fate's Mirror, is a more appealing lead than Morris the hacker, and I found myself identifying with her right away. The story moves along at a brisk pace, peppered with cinematic action sequences. The book as a whole reads like a 90-minute detective/action movie. There's a definite twist that I didn't see coming, and it tied the plot up very nicely. My only complaint is that it was a fast read in the sense that most of the characters besides Aidra are undeveloped beyond talking scenery, and a few of the subplots which are begun are left virtually unexplored. Genetic manipulation makes for some fascinating and scary science fiction, and I felt there were some more opportunities to expand upon the horrors that man might create with it. The book would have benefited by adding some depth to the setting and minor characters. That being said, it was an enjoyable beer-and-pretzels read, and an admirable sophomoric effort. I'm looking forward to further adventures in M.H. Mead's near-future Detroit.

In a way this book reminded me a bit of the movie IRobot, but with a pet instead of a robot. Very intriguing concept, and I especially enjoyed the premise because although it is not real (yet), it totally feels like one day it will be! With all the advances in genetic engineering that have taken place over the past few decades, it seems like it is only a matter of time before scientists will create the perfect companion pet for people, like the calines. So I was definitely pulled into this story, and was impressed with the quality of clear, descriptive writing from the authors. This is a fast paced read, and fans of good mysteries, pet lovers, scifi readers…heck, anyone who enjoys an excellent read should be sure to pick it up. Definitely recommend. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
A beloved companion is accused of murder, but in this case it is
A beloved companion is accused of murder, but in this case it is not aperson but a pet named Madeline. Madeline is special, she is created tobe the perfect companion to her owner. Unfortunately one of her ownersends up dead, and his widow swears that Madeline is innocent. But whowould want to frame a caline? Why? The Caline Conspiracy starts offstrong and pulls you right into the thick of the action. The writing isgreat…one of the things that drives me nuts are when authors are alltell and no show, but M.H. Mead pulls you right into the action thewhole way. This novel ended up being a lot different than what Iexpected, and in a good way. I thought it would be more serious…formalalmost (In my experience most science fiction takes itself way tooseriously). But that wasn’t the case here. The tone was easy, almostcausal, with a perfect balance of lightheartedness (with the scenes withthe other characters) that balanced out the darker subjects perfectly. Ithoroughly enjoyed reading this and would love to read more from thisauthor in the future.
5 stars. Could NOT put it down. This book totally caught me off 5 stars. Could NOT put it down. This book totally caught me off guard…Iintended to only read a few chapters before turning in for the eveningand found myself reading straight through to the very last page. It wasTHAT good!! I thought the writing was flawless, and it sucked me inright away. The story is mad creative – it’s about a geneticallyengineered pet (kind of like a dog but not really) called a caline thatis accused of murdering its owner. I say murder, not kill, as Calinesare advanced creations capable of rational thought. But the victim’swife swears the accused (Madeline) is totally innocent, so it is up toPI Adria Scott to get to the bottom of this mystery. There were twistsand turns I did notsee coming, and I devoured this in one sitting. Lovedit!

The Caline Conspiracy by M.H. Mead is a fantasy novel, set in the not so distant future of Detroit. Mead spins an intriguing tale of suspense and mystery as her protagonist, PI Aidra Scott, sets out to prove a genetically created pet is innocent of a vicious crime. She captured my attention from the first few pages and I consumed this in one evening.The tale begins when geneticist Ivan Frithke is found murdered. His pet Madeline, a caline, is the prime suspect. The police believe this to be an open and shut case. The widow however, doesn’t believe sweet Madeline is capable of such a deed. She begs Aidra Scott to take on the case. While desperate for the income, single mom and PI extraordinaire Aidra, wants nothing to do with any case involving animals. After losing her Doberman, Nutmeg, she cannot stand to be around them. The widow dangles more money. The current creator of the caline raises her suspicions, when he doesn’t want her investigating. Curiosity takes hold and she finds herself in the middle of things. The tale that unfolds is fast paced and filled with twists. The more Aidra investigates the more she is convinced something sinister is afoot.Mead presents some interesting characters. Aidra tries to be a hip mom to her teenage son, and is very inquisitive. She has made a career for herself as a somewhat successful private investigator. She has issues but isn’t afraid to face things head on. I adored Morris, her computer hacker and would love to read more about him. He was hilarious and his use of technology was smashing. Other characters were; Jon, Aidra’s son, her sister Quinn, Tawny a teenage girl and members of the Caline Company. We also meet Edo a scientist and developer from a rival company. They make Pericats a genetically engineered pet. Aidra and Edo share an awkward scene when she is exposed to one of the pericats.The tale and world that Mead creates had elements that reminded me of old dime store detective novels and steampunk. In this futuristic world there are holographs,everything is wired and science is on the cusp of new inventions. Genetics is a huge industry and a controversial one. Caline and its competitor Pericats are creating the perfect pets and are involved in some ground breaking advancements in cell manipulation. Meanwhile, picket lines are forming and sides are being drawn. The US has banned most procedures, causing citizens to travel to Canada for treatments. While delivering a mystery, Mead raises questions about the advancement of science. This would make a great club read as it begs for discussions. This novel wasn’t without flaws. I questioned some of the story-line and teeter between wanting more information or thinking scenes should have been cut. The writing style was good, and the tale was well paced. I would recommend the Caline Conspiracy to fans of science fiction based fantasy and PI mysteries. This was an easy and entertaining read. M.H. Mead has also written; Fate’s Mirror and Good Fences. I look forward to reading more from this author.I want to thank the author for providing this finished copy in exchange for my unbiased review.
Every once in a while I will read a book that is outside my norm
Every once in a while I will read a book that is outside my normal preferred genres and take a chance on an unknown author. Sometimes I regret it, other times I am pleasantly surprised, and every blue moon I am totally floored and feel excited to have discovered a talented author. Well, this was definitely one of those blue moon moments! From the very first page I was drawn into the world that M.H. Mead constructed, complete with the nifty gadgets and inventions of a futuristic society, and of course, with the addition of the perfect pet…the calines. But one might be a killer, even though her owner swears that is not the case. PI Adria Scott is a fabulous character and she is on the case, whether she wants it or not. What unfolds in a complex and riveting tale of mystery and suspense, one that kept me flipping the pages as fast as I possibly could. I was happy with the conclusion, and although I will not claim that this novel is perfect by any means (is any?), I thought it a terrific read and I am definitely looking forward to checking out other works from M.H. Mead. Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. | [

AbeBooks Seller Since January 3, 2001 Seller Rating
Here is an early 1960s brochure for TAI Airline (Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux), based in France. The brochure originally was stapled, but a previous owner or user opened it up fully. Closed, it measures 4.25 inches by 10 inches. Fully open, it stretches 41 inches long. There are 10 panels on each side. There are twelve different route maps (and in addition, some thumbnail maps) as well as a global map that takes up three panels. Included is a list of principle agents for TAI. No date of publication is given, but I'm guessing early 1960s. The only "dates" given is that this is for use from May 25 to September 20. A very interesting and informative travel brochure!.

NEWS | LOCAL | POLITICS | SPORTS | OPINIONS | BUSINESS | ARTS & LIVING | GOING OUT GUIDE | JOBS | CARS | REAL ESTATE |SHOPPING Poll: Rising U.S. Support for Social Issues, Such as Gay Marriage
Maia Duncan, a 23-year-old college student in Santa Cruz, Calif., who considers herself a moderate Democrat, said she saw the issue as one of basic fairness. "I was raised to be open-minded," she said. "It's different generations," she said. "This generation was raised by a different era. It's different times."
Even among some who oppose gay marriage, the issue may not be much of a motivator. Joe Parmeley, 43, a moderate Republican who was raised Catholic and owns an auto repair shop in Maricopa County, Ariz., voted for a successful constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Arizona but says he does not see any problem with other states legalizing it. "Whatever the law of the people is what should stand," he said. "If it would've passed [in Arizona] then fine, gay marriage is legal . . . It should come down to the people in that state deciding on their own."
More than half of those who live in states where gay marriages are not legal -- 53 percent -- said that their state should recognize gay marriages that have been legally conducted in other states, 43 percent said their state should not recognize those marriages.
Another issue that has served as a Republican rallying cry, immigration reform, may become more difficult terrain for them. While 74 percent said that the government is not doing enough to keep illegal immigrants from entering the country, including majorities across party and demographic lines, public sentiment has shifted away from that view since its peak in 2007 among most groups outside the Republican core. At the same time, a growing slice of the population -- including Republicans -- support the broad outlines of a plan giving illegal immigrants "the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements." Six in 10 overall (61 percent) would support such a plan, up from 52 percent in June 2007. Support is highest among younger voters, and independents have gone from being roughly split on the plan to being mostly in favor of it, 59 percent now support it.
One issue in the survey where public opinion has drifted in the conservative direction is gun control, where Obama and other Democrats have studiously avoided pushing for major reforms. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they favored stricter gun laws, down 10 points from 2006.
And fewer now say stronger laws would reduce the amount of violent crime in the U.S., and six in 10 said enforcing current gun laws is a better way to diminish crime than passing harsher laws.
This shift was notable given that the poll took place after a string of mass shootings around the country. And it occurred across ideological lines, with a striking shift among moderate voters -- 53 percent said they favored stricter gun laws, down from 71 percent in 2000. Opposition to stricter laws was highest in the West.
Duncan, the California student, is representative of the ideological mix in the survey. Though conficted about immigration, she supports reform to let some illegal immigrants stay. She supports legalizing marijuana, "as long as it's taxed." But she is against stricter gun control. Her family owns a gun and she sees no need for reforms. "Gun control laws are getting insane," she said. "I understand the point is to make people safer, but the laws are there and do work. They should be policing people more, with heavier punishment for people who are breaking the law."

This is a genuine Japanese where the owner is the chef. It is the preferred restaurant for Japanese immigrants, and that tells the whole story.You must try salmon sushi, crumbed oysters, Tasty Fish, Duck and Beef Tataki. Kinji has specials every week, and those are generally Kinji's creations - try them too!

We're new in Chch thus quite often read reviews prior dining out. Read the raving comments from TA and decided to give it a go. We're there twice now, once every month, August & Sept 2012. We ate the Kinji Fried Chicken..yumm! Spicy Tuna Starter..yumm. Wakame Salad (I'm always a fan of this menu) is also nice but have tried a yummier one someplace else. Crispy Squid..yumm. Hubby tried the Soft Shell Crab Sushi (while I can't eat raw food for the moment), but he said they are OK but prefer the Deep Fried King Prawn. The best one for me is the SIZZLIN' GRAINFED BEEF TEPPAN...wooow...sooo yuuummyy, they served in a hotplate to cook to our liking and the meat is so tender and juicy. Can't fault it!! The service is also nice and chef (he's also the owner if I'm not mistaken) sometimes comes out from the kitchen to say thank you when you're leaving. A must try Japs Resto in Chch but better make a reservation first to avoid dissapointment :)

Between us we had sushi, sashimi, tempura, grilled warehau in miso, tempura, seared beef, citrus salmon and rice and it was all fantastic. Couldn't fault anything.

Muslim teen arrested in Texas for home-made clock to study in Qatar | world | Hindustan Times
AP, Dallas | Updated: Oct 21, 2015 09:18 IST
Ahmed Mohamed (R), a 14-year-old high school student who was arrested after he brought a homemade clock to his Irving, Texas high school to show his teachers and was later accused of having a "hoax bomb", speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Ahmed’s detention played into national debates about Islam, immigration and ethnicity. He visited the White House following a personal invitation from President Barack Obama. (AFP Photo)
A 14-year-old Muslim boy who was arrested after a home-made clock he brought to school was mistaken for a possible bomb will be moving with his family to Qatar where he can attend school, his family said on Tuesday.
Ahmed Mohamed’s family released a statement saying they had accepted a foundation’s offer to pay for his high school and college in Doha, Qatar. He recently visited the country as part of a whirlwind month that included a Monday stop at the White House and an appearance at the US Capitol on Tuesday.
“We are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn, and all of them being accepted by that country,” Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told The Dallas Morning News before boarding an aircraft from Washington back home to Texas on Tuesday.
The statement said the family has been “overwhelmed by the many offers of support” since Ahmed’s arrest on September 14 at his school in Irving, a Dallas suburb. The family said it accepted an offer from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development to join its Young Innovators Program.
Ahmed, who along with his family will relocate to Qatar, received a full scholarship for his secondary and undergraduate education. Ahmed said he was impressed with the program and thinks he will “learn a lot and have fun, too”.
But in recent weeks, the teenager has been travelling the world. Ahmed earlier this week told The Associated Press that he had visited Google and Facebook, along with other companies and institutions. He also visited Sudan, where he met with President Omar al-Bashir, which prompted criticism as al-Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide and war crimes for atrocities linked to the fighting in Darfur province. Fourteen-year-old Ahmed Mohamed (C) of Irving, is guided by family advisor and former Dallas Independent School District Trustee Ron Price after a news conference outside the US Capitol in Washington DC. Mohamed was arrested by police last month when he brought a home-made electronic clock to class at MacArthur High School and officials mistook it for a bomb. (AFP Photo)
Ahmed’s father is a Sudanese immigrant to the US and a former presidential candidate in Sudan who ran against al-Bashir.
At the US Capitol on Tuesday, Ahmed stood alongside California Rep Mike Honda as the Democrat praised the teen, saying Ahmed had used his negative experience to raise awareness about racial and ethnic profiling. Honda and more than two dozen other congressmen sent a letter to attorney general Loretta Lynch last month, calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Ahmed’s detention and arrest.

SO.........Just stitch it a half-dozen times and pick the winner ??
I just tried "Sweep Panorama" and just taking a similar sweep while using "Burst" mode. The sweep uses "Burst" also, but neither do as well as carefully shot singles, stitched.
Of course, the theme of this thread was rescuing "UN-Carefully" shot singles ;P | [

Progressive Research Paper | Rubric (Academic) | Thesis
Uploaded by Mike Hasley
Today, students do not get to go in-depth with historical content, especially content that interests them. The idea of this research paper is that students will have: multiple times to improve on their paper (learn how to edit and re-write); will go in-depth on a topic instead of learn surface level information; pick topics that interest them; and research an enduring question. Here’s a brief timeline of how this will work: With the help of a teacher, students will pick a topic to write about With the help of a teacher, students will pick the essential question (thesis) They will write their first draft with minimal research, based on one event or person in history They will write their second draft with more research, based on two events/people They will finish their paper with more research and multiple events/people and perspectives They will be writing on the same topic but adding content they are learning in class. For example, in World History 2 their thesis could be: has technology benefitted mankind? First paper would be one paragraph and explain the printing press Second paper would be two paragraphs on the printing press and steam engine The third paper would discuss the printing press, the steam engine, and conclude with nuclear weapons. Essential Questions: According to Wiggins and McTighe, essential questions actually have one or more of the following meanings: Essential questions are “important questions that recur throughout all our lives.” They are “broad in scope and timeless by nature.” Essential questions refer to “core ideas and inquiries within a discipline.” They “point to the core of big ideas in a subject and to the frontiers of technical knowledge. They are historically important and alive in the field.” Essential questions help “students effectively inquire and make sense of important but complicated ideas, knowledge, and know-how — a bridge to findings that experts may believe are settled but learners do not yet grasp or see as valuable.” Essential questions “will most engage a specific and diverse set of learners.” They “hook and hold the attention of your students.” (108-109)
Examples: No: What are the 3 branches of government and what does each do? Yes: How are the 3 branches of government dependent on each other?
What is a community? How does my community affect my life?
Other examples: What problems and solutions does technology produce? How has immigration changed society in the United States? How did the ideas of nationalism clash with sectionalism? Was World War One avoidable? Why or why not? Here’s a link with more on essential questions: http://www.okcss.org/Ess%20Ques%20article.pdf Suggestions: 1. Have students begin with a question where their first piece of historical evidence has already been taught. 2. Use Google Docs. Once they share this with you, you can watch how their paper evolves, edit while they write, and you won’t have 100s of copies of paper to keep track of. 3. Have students keep a journal, or tag their notes during the year, for information they can use in their research paper. 4. Have students understand Wikipedia. Students can get ideas from Wikipedia, for example, what is missing from an article entry? Part of their paper can become contributed. 5. The whole class can work on the same question; or, you can have students pick from five questions. Depends on the level of your class. Students can then collaborate. It makes it more student-centered if you allow students to pick their own topic. However, even if you supply the topics, students can choose different evidence.

Great Location and Good Base to Explore Sorrento - Review of Caruso 3, Sorrento, Italy - TripAdvisor
Great Location and Good Base to Explore... - Caruso 3
“Great Location and Good Base to Explore Sorrento”
Review of Caruso 3
MrsJEngla...
Firstly communication prior to arrival from our host Jasvir was excellent. He is friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient any queries or issues he responded to immediately. We had a slight issue with no hot water on the first day which was resolved very promptly (with a switch) . We encountered no further boiler issues during our stay.
The Location is excellent to explore Sorrento and a very very short walk to the hustle and bustle of Piazza Tasso. We ( family of 3) felt safe walking to and from the apartment at anytime of day. The apartment is located close to the train station and walking distance to the port with a supermarket at the bottom of the road for necessities.
The apartment was clean, spacious with good beds and adequate bedding with a kitchenette with cooking facilities that consist of a full size gas hob and oven. The outdoor terrace was very spacious and perfect for dining or relaxing and enjoying the sun with a bottle of wine.
The only thing that I would say requires attention is the shower screen. The way it has been assembled without a runner/glider attached to the bath makes it difficult to move the screen to get in and out. This could be easily rectified by a shower screen on a runner so it easily slides across the bath.
Many Thanks Again Jasvir!! | [

1. A method for scheduling splittable work orders to provide customers with requested service, the method comprising: forming a list of appointment windows for days on which service may be performed; identifying a request for service from a customer as being a splittable work order; assigning to the splittable work order a job duration required to complete the order and a split time that is less than the job duration; determining an appointment window on a first day during which a portion of the service to complete the work order may be scheduled, the appointment window being for the split time in duration; determining at least one appointment window on a subsequent day or days during which the remainder of the service to complete the work order may be scheduled; and scheduling the splittable work order by assigning the work order to the determined appointment windows on the first day and subsequent day or days. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein forming a list of appointment windows for days on which service may be performed comprises dividing a service area into a number of OSS areas, assigning an FSR to each OSS area where each FSR has an associated skill level, assigning at least one skill level to each OSS area, and assigning a window hierarchy to each OSS area where each window hierarchy corresponds to a set of appointment windows that are defined as a function of the associated skills. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein each window hierarchy comprises all day appointment windows, aggregate appointment windows, and basic appointment windows. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein each of the operations of determining further comprise determining whether a booking pattern is associated with the order and determining appointment windows as a function of any associated booking patterns. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein each booking pattern each booking pattern specifies particular days and times on such days during which service may be performed. 6. A method for scheduling splittable work orders to provide customers with requested service, the method comprising: receiving customer requests from customers desiring service; identifying a received request for service from a customer as being a splittable work order having a job duration required to complete the splittable work order and a split time that is less than the job duration; requesting an appointment in a specific appointment window on a first day in response to the received customer request, the appointment window being for the split time; validating the requested appointment against a number of scheduling constraints and against projected service resources for that window on the first day; scheduling the appointment in the specific appointment window on the first day when the validation indicates the appointment can be scheduled given the scheduling constraints and projected service resources; requesting an appointment in a specific appointment window on a subsequent day or days during which the remainder of the splittable work order may be scheduled; validating the requested appointment against the number of scheduling constraints and against projected service resources for that window on the subsequent day or days; scheduling the appointment in the specific appointment window on the subsequent day or days when the validation indicates the appointment can be scheduled given the scheduling constraints and projected service resources; and advising the customer of the scheduled appointment. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the booking constraints comprise booking patterns identifying allowable appointment windows during which appointments are permitted to be scheduled. 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the projected service resources comprise projected resources of field service representatives on the requested day and during the requested window. 9. The method of claim 6 wherein the operations of validating comprise dividing a service area into a number of OSS areas, assigning a field service representative to each OSS area where each field service representative has an associated skill level, assigning at least one skill level to each OSS area, and assigning a window hierarchy to each OSS area where each window hierarchy corresponds to a set of appointment windows that are defined as a function of the associated skills. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein each window hierarchy comprises all day appointment windows, aggregate appointment windows, and basic appointment windows. 11.

Company will be ‘thrilled’ with 10 million first-year visits
Shanghai Disneyland opened in June at cost of $5.5 billion
Disney CEO Bob Iger on 2017 Forecast and the Election
About 50 percent of the park’s guests are from outside the Shanghai area, a “big surprise” as the Chinese city had been expected to account for more than three-quarters of visitors initially, Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said in an interview with Bloomberg TV Thursday. “The fact that it’s so balanced leads us to believe that word of mouth on this and the intent to visit from well beyond Shanghai is very, very high,” he said.The Shanghai theme park, Disney’s first in mainland China and largest foreign investment, opened in June as the company races to capture the country’s growing middle class and dominate its $180 billion media and entertainment industry. The company has also started producing movies in Asia’s largest economy.
In an earlier conference call with analysts after Disney reported fiscal fourth quarter results, Iger said some of them may infer from the first four months’ attendance the Shanghai park could get 10 million visitors in its first year, a number the company “would be thrilled with.” However, Disney won’t provide any guidance for the resort at this point, he said.China Securities International tourism analyst Jennifer So had expected the park will get 15 million visitors in its first twelve months of operations, while Macquarie Capital analyst Tim Nollen estimated the park will get 15.7 million annual visitors by fiscal 2019.Ticket Price“The entire theme park industry is not doing as well as we expected,” said Jennifer So, a tourism analyst at China Securities International, by telephone. “It’s a very different market for Disney in China -- it’s a different culture, and their characters are not as well-known or popular here, and the ticket prices are high.”Asia’s most popular theme park in 2015 was Tokyo Disneyland with 16.6 million visitors, followed by Universal Studios Japan with 13.9 million, according to Aecom’s 2015 Global Attractions Attendance Report. Within China, the most popular was the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Hengqin, part of southern Zhuhai city, which attracted 7.5 million visitors in 2015, according to the report.“Over time, Shanghai Disney will continue to expand -- sometimes there’s a slump in year two after the excitement fades,” said Chris Yoshii, Aecom’s vice president for economics in the Asia-Pacific region. “However, over time they generally grow attendance.”
Guests are staying longer than Disney expected, according to Iger, who visited Shanghai last week and said he was surprised by the number of young kids at the park on a weekday.Disney this week announced it broke ground on an expansion at the park, a Toy Story-themed land with three attractions and a character meet-and-greet area. Iger said Disney characters, even new ones such as those from the 2016 film “Zootopia,” are being well received in China.— With assistance by Rachel Chang, and Chris Palmeri | [

Triumph Grab Rail Buying Guide | eBay
Grab rails give motorcycle passengers something to hold onto other than the rider on the front of the bike. Grab rails come in a number of different styles and finishes to suit the motorcycle's appearance and the motorcycle owner's preferences. Buyers looking to purchase a grab rail for their Triumph can choose from loops that circle the rear seat of the bike or hoops that rise partially above the back of the seat level. Manufacturers frequently produce grab rails with chrome-plated finish, but other colour options are available. By knowing the functions, types, and styles of guard rails, motorcycle owners can make shopping for a Triumph grab rail a pleasant experience. The Function of a Grab Rail In addition to giving second riders something to hold onto other than the person driving the bike, grab rails provide an element of safety to motorcycle riders. Clasping a grab rail is sturdier than hanging onto a part of the motorcycle's body because grab rails attach directly to the frame of the bike. Grab rails that rise above the level of the seat can help prevent the rear rider from slipping off the back of the seat when the motorcycle accelerates. Some grab rails incorporate a rear back rest or high rise safety bar as a part of the grab rail design. Triumph Grab Rail Fitting Depending on the Triumph motorcycle, it may be necessary to remove additional parts or components to access the fitting points for the grab rail unit. Removal of the motorcycle seat, the rear lighting unit, wiring components, and mud guards might be required. Before removing wiring connectors, it is advisable to disconnect the battery cables to prevent an accidental electrical short. Bike owners may need to use spacers to properly fit the grab rail to the frame assembly of the motorcycle. They should make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when fitting the grab rail to the bike and always torque bolts to the proper specifications to ensure the secure and safe fit of the grab rail. OEM vs. Aftermarket Grab Rails Buyers have the option of choosing grab rails the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) produces or grab rails from aftermarket suppliers. Bike owners can install Triumph OEM grab rails on various Triumph models. Aftermarket grab rails may require some modifications to install properly on a Triumph. Aftermarket parts are generally less expensive than OEM parts; however, aftermarket parts often do not follow the same standards that OEM suppliers must follow. This does not mean the parts are any less safe, but part longevity may be different for aftermarket when compared to OEM quality. Triumph Grab Rail Styles Grab rails for Triumph motorcycles come in several different styles to provide the look and functionality the bike owner is looking for. Selecting the design of the grab rail is a personal preference that also includes the colour or finish of the grab rail. Chrome grab rails are generally very popular. Straight Loop The straight loop grab rail design provides a simple loop at the rear of the motorcycle seat that protrudes straight out from the seat. The loop is strictly for providing a hand hold. It does not offer a slide-off, sissy-bar-type, raised bar. Raised Loop With a raised loop design, the grab bar has a loop that generally comes just above the level of the seat. This loop is the result of the grab rail making a 90 degree upturn on the end or of a second bar that joins the straight loop to offer the raised portion. The name of this design is pillion grab rail. Grab Rail and Carrier Rack Combination When buying a combination of grab rail and carrier rack, bike owners get a grab rail that extends over the rear portion of the bike and a rack for carrying a small bag. Bikers can strap various items like backpacks, computer bags, or briefcases to the carrier rack with abungee cord or tie down strap. Grab Rail and Sissy Bar Combination Sissy bars or passenger seat backrests provide a support for the motorcycle passenger to lean back against. It is more relaxing to ride this way, and the sissy bar provides a level of safety by preventing the passenger from accidentally sliding off the back of the seat. The grab rail and sissy bar combination can be simple metal bars, bars with padded cushions, or elaborate chair type assemblies. Popular Brands of Grab Rails There are several aftermarket suppliers of motorcycle grab rails. Triumph owners can purchase grab rails and accessories from Triumph dealers or aftermarket sellers. The chart below lists some popular brands of grab rails for Triumph cycles, along with a brief description of the parts available. Brand Parts Available Renntec Grab rail and sissy bar grab rails Sport racks and carriers Other motorcycle accessories British Customs Basic grab rail designs Large selection of Triumph accessories In addition, several generic manufacturers make grab rails that fit a range of different motorcycle models, which may include Triumph. Renntec and British Customs make grab rails specifically for Triumph bikes. Buying Triumph Grab Rails on eBay Buyers in the market for Triumph motorcycle grab rails can shop for the parts on eBay. Buying bike accessories, or any other product, on eBay is straightforward. Type any relevant keywords into the search bar, choose the grab rails you want to buy, and read the item description. Shopping on eBay allows you to select from a wide range of Triumph accessories, purchase the items you want, and receive them directly to your door. You might also want to check the eBay Deals section, to find the best prices of the day for motorbike accessories, which may include Triumph grab rails. Tags:

Amazon.co.uk: Felix's review of Railway Breakdown Cranes: v.2
Volume 2, 15 Mar. 2013
Long awaited by many who like myself purchased volume 1. The book is clearly laid out and portrays the development of the crane. Well-written in an easily readable and presentable style.My one and only minor criticism concerns some of the photos, which presumeably taken by a digital camera, or digitised for printing are not as pin-sharp as I should have liked. This is merely a very minor bunt of mine.However to sum up, if you wish to learn about breakdown cranes, their development, their history, then you will find it here, and if you don't have volume 1, I suggest you obtain one sharpish. These two books are the definitive work on these cranes, and are likely to remain so for many years. | [

More Nervous Than Ever In New York Even If Bin Laden Is Dead
When I came out yesterday morning, there were helicopters over my neighborhood.
I couldn’t see them from the sidewalk. Buildings were blocking the view. But a few blocks south of me, two or three of them were definitely hovering up there. And it wasn’t the sound of puny news copters grabbing Ground Zero live shots. This was the low, heavy rumble of military-style police aircraft, the kind sent to the sky to deliver a message or to fight a war.
Call it "the soundtrack of Terror New York." Usama bin Laden is dead now. What are we supposed to do?
Feel a sense of satisfaction, of course. That’s only natural. Accept the circle of revenge. But in practical terms, no one can possibly know what is coming next – or when. And no one has devised a reliable method for protecting us from it. But in times of anxiety like this one, everyone wants to do something. So the NYPD Air Force takes to the sky.
“We certainly are not taking any chances,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said yesterday with the mayor at Ground Zero, which finally looks more of a construction site than a giant hole in the ground. “Our assumption is that bin Laden's disciples would like nothing better than to avenge his death by another attack in New York. That is our current operating premise.”
Who has a better premise to share?
As we close in on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, everyone around here is still a little bit jumpy. Feelings are still more than a little raw. We understand you can’t protect everything forever, not in a city as a open and busy and fluid as this one. And here’s the really frustrating part: Most of the things we can think of to do won’t actually protect us against the most likely threats.
You know the ones I mean. A bomb in the subway. Another office-building take-down. Something very scary from the sea or the air. How will X-ray machines at the airport protect us from any of that? How will guest sign-ins in the office lobbies? How will police helicopters in the sky?
They won’t. They can’t. But it’s back to the same old question as we look to the sky in Lower Manhattan: At a time like this one, what else do you have?

Donald Trump trails Ted Cruz in Wisconsin but leads in Pennsylvania and New York | Daily Mail Online
Ted Cruz is ahead of Donald Trump by six points in Wisconsin, where voters head to the polls Tuesday
In the next two big delegate-right states, New York and Pennsylvania, Trump has a large lead
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is down two points to Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin, but up 10 points to Sanders in New York
Published: 14:53 EDT, 3 April 2016 | Updated: 16:28 EDT, 3 April 2016
New polls out this morning show Sen. Ted Cruz mounting a serious challenge to GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in Wisconsin, but The Donald holding commanding leads closer to home.
The CBS News Battleground Tracker poll shows Cruz six points up, standing at 43 percent to Trump's 37 percent. While John Kasich has 18 percent in Wisconsin.
Voters there head to the polls Tuesday where 42 delegates will be at stake.
While Donald Trump (left) has the delegate lead and is up in the polls in New York and Pennsylvania, Ted Cruz (right) could win another state this week if he has a victory in Wisconsin
Ted Cruz is at the top in Wisconsin right now, with voters heading to the polls there on Tuesday, lining him up to potentially win another state over frontrunner Donald Trump
Cruz is helped by Republicans who describe themselves as 'very' conservative who are looking for a 'consistent conservative' out of the trio of GOP candidates left.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, once in the presidential race himself, endorsed Cruz before his state's primary, another move that seems to have aided the Texas senator in today's poll, the CBS data suggested.
Trump discussed the Wisconsin polls today, as he's been behind in a number of them, with the Real Clear Political polling average having him down 6.8 percentage points to Cruz.
The Donald suggested that he doesn't necessarily have to win Wisconsin in order to get to the 1,237 delegates he needs to prevent a contested Republican National Convention in July.
'I would always be better to win,' Trump said today on Fox News Sunday.
'I think I get there anyways, but I like Wisconsin, I like the people of Wisconsin, I think they like me, I've had tremendous crowds, we've had a tremendous response and I think I'm going to do very well in Wisconsin,' Trump said.
The big delegate-rich states coming after Wisconsin are New York on April 19 and Pennsylvania on April 26.
John Kasich is in third place in Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania, even though he grew up outside of Pittsburgh and governs Pennsylvania's next door neighbor Ohio
In both those northeastern states, Trump holds commanding lead.
In New York, his home state, Trump bests Cruz by 31 points.
Trump leads with 52 percent support to Cruz's 21 percent support.
Kasich is again is stuck in third place with 20 percent support, though within the margin of error to potentially do better than Cruz.
In Pennsylvania, Trump receives 47 percent support to Cruz's 29 percent support.
Kasich, who is next-door-neighbor Ohio's governor and grew up outside of Pittsburgh, only receives 22 percent support in the Keystone State.
Voters, especially those in Wisconsin, indicate a very divided Republican party with those supporting Trump telling pollster that they're coming into the Republican party fold to specifically support his candidacy.
Hillary Clinton calls Trump a 'political arsonist' and used... 'You're going to be so bored': Donald Trump promises to be... Speculation mounts that Hillary's FBI interview on her... 'I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me':...
The voters not backing Trump are supportive of a contested Republican convention so that their candidates may have a chance to rise.
'Voters for either Trump or Cruz would neither be enthusiastic nor satisfied if their opponent ultimately ends up as the nominee,' the CBS report said. 'And John Kasich's voters in New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would not be satisfied with either Trump or Cruz as well.'
As for whether Trump's recent spat of controversies hurt him – from the abortion comments he had to walk back, to his fight with Cruz over their wives and to his campaign manager's battery charge for man-handling a reporter – the CBS poll results suggests no, but with a caveat.
The controversies may make it harder for him to widen his base.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders is slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton in Wisconsin – 49-to-47 percent.
In New York, where Sanders was born, but where Clinton planted her political roots when she ran for Senate in 2000 the former secretary of state leads the Vermont senator 53 percent to 43 percent.

Media clips on a hard drive or other storage are automatically organized in collections and metadata automatically assigned to facilitate subsequent searching for media clips. A Clip Organizer software application initially scans a user's hard drive to identify folders containing user files of sound, picture, clip art, video and other media clips. Predefined types of folders are omitted in the scan to avoid identifying media clips that do not belong to the user or are part of another application program. A partially �flattened� collection hierarchy is created to simplify browsing the media clips. Sufficient empty files are included to enable a user to readily locate the collections, and metadata comprising keywords derived from the path of each media clip are associated with each of the media clips to facilitate subsequent searching for the files. In addition, the collection hierarchy is automatically updated as changes are made. Images(11) Claims(58)
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0027] Exemplary Operating Environment [0028]FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable host computing device with which the present invention may be used. Although not required, the present invention will typically be used with a host computing device that executes computer instructions, such as program modules. These computer instructions are executed by a processor in the host computing device, which may be part of a larger computing network. [0029] Generally, program modules implemented on the host computing device (some of which will be used in connection with the present invention) include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that this invention may be practiced with other types of host computing devices, including hand-held devices, pocket personal computing devices, programmable consumer electronic devices, multiprocessor systems, network personal computers (PCs), laptop computers, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced with computing devices in distributed computing environments that include remote processing devices linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices. [0030] With reference to FIG. 1, an exemplary computing system for use in implementing the present invention includes a general purpose computing device in the form of a conventional PC 20, provided with a processing unit 21, a system memory 22, and a system bus 23. The system bus couples various system components, including the system memory, to processing unit 21 and may be any of several types of bus structures, including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within PC 20, such as during start up, is stored in ROM 24. PC 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31, such as a CD-ROM or other optical media. Hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable machine instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for PC 20. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, removable magnetic disk 29, and removable optical disk 31, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer-readable media, which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, RAMs, ROMs, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment. A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24, or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. [0031] A user may enter commands and information into PC 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40, and through a separate pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to processing unit 21 through an input/output (I/O) interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus. The term I/O interface is intended to encompass each interface correspondingly used for a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, an infrared port, a radio frequency port, and/or a universal serial bus (USB) port (not separately shown). [0032] A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 23 via an appropriate interface, such as a video adapter 48, and is usable to display Web pages and/or other information. In addition to the monitor, PCs are often coupled to other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers (through a sound card or other audio interface�not shown) and printers. [0033] PC 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. Remote computer 49 may be another PC, a server (which is typically configured much like PC 20), a router, a network PC, a peer device, a satellite or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above in connection with PC 20, although only an external memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in FIG. 1. The logical connections depicted in FIG. 1 include a local area network (LAN) 51 and a wide area network (WAN) 52. Such networking environments are common in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets, and the Internet. [0034] When used in a LAN networking environment, PC 20 is connected to LAN 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, PC 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over WAN 52, such as the Internet. Modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to system bus 23, or coupled to the bus via I/O device interface 46, i.e., through a serial port. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to PC 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used, such as wireless communication and wide band network links. [0035] Current Preferred Application of Invention [0036] It should be noted that the present invention is not specifically limited to organizing and indexing media files, since the same technique can readily be applied to almost any type of file. However, in an initial application, the present invention will be applied to organizing media files, since as noted above in the Background of the Invention, the problems associated with manually managing and organizing media files become increasingly more burdensome as the number of media files stored in different folders on a user's hard drive or other storage continues to grow. Since it will be used for organizing media clips, an initial embodiment of the present invention is thus referred to as a �Clip Organizer.� [0037] The present invention addresses problems associated with manually indexing files comprising personal content of a user on a hard disk or other storage by automatically locating the personal content and importing it into a user's personal media database so that the personal content can readily be displayed in a collection hierarchy. As the present invention imports the content into database created by the Clip Organizer, it simultaneously indexes the contents by adding keywords or metadata based upon contextual information that enables a user to find the personal content at a later time using a keyword search. The task of importing hundreds or thousands of clips located in possibly hundreds of folders that may be distributed throughout one or more hard drives and applying useful keywords to them can take many painstaking hours of manual effort. In contrast, the present invention accomplishes this task automatically in a time ranging from within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending upon the volume of personal content in the user's storage. This task is carried out without requiring any mandatory user interaction to facilitate the process. In addition, once the present invention has run to completion, it establishes rules that automatically facilitate importing new media into the collection hierarchy as the new media are added to the user's hard drive(s), even if initially added to the storage without using the present invention and its automated organizing capabilities. Generally, the present invention makes the manual importing and manual indexing of a hard drive user content obsolete, if it is employed at its maximum effectiveness. [0038] Logical Steps Implemented to Scan Hard Drive [0039]FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart 100 that indicates the logical steps generally implemented in the present invention to automatically organize and manage media clips. Media clips will typically include digital photos, audio files, video files, and clip art generated or collected by a user in a storage such as a hard drive. As shown in flow chart 100, the process for organizing media clips with the Clip Organizer begins in a step 102, with a scan of the user's hard drive. (It should be noted that although the singular form �hard drive� is used throughout the following discussion, it is recognized that users of the present invention may have one or more hard drives and/or a user's hard drive(s) may be divided into multiple volumes. Accordingly, it is intended that unless otherwise evident from the context, the term �hard drive� refer generally to any type of storage on which user media files or other user content files are stored and also encompass the plural form �hard drives.�) [0040] Details of the steps involved in scanning a user's hard drive are shown in FIG. 3. A key aspect of the hard drive scan is the intelligence applied in identifying folders that contain supported media file types and more importantly, in determining that certain predefined types of folders should not be searched for media files. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer program begins in a block 120 in which the program determines a first search folder on the storage currently being scanned, typically starting with the first folder at the root level of the hard drive being scanned. A decision block 122 determines if the folder being searched is a temporary folder. The purpose of this determination is to avoid scanning temporary folders since temporary media files that are frequently stored in a temporary folder will likely be deleted at some point without user permission. Temporary folders include those identified by the name �TEMP,� and those that the WINDOWS� operating system identifies as temporary folders, which have special significance in the WINDOWS� operating system for storing temporary files. Other types of temporary folders include those designated by the operating system for Internet cache storage. Since a folder identified as a temporary folder is likely to include only temporary media files that will not be retained, such folders are preferably avoided when scanning the hard drive for user content. A negative response leads to a decision block 128, while an affirmative response to decision block 122 leads to a decision block 124, which determines if there are any further folders to be searched. If so, the logic continues with a block 126, which advances to the next folder on the hard drive. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 142, which is discussed below. From block 126, the logic loops back through decision block 122. [0041] Assuming that the current folder is not a temporary folder, the logic proceeds from decision block 122 to decision block 128, which determines if the current folder is an application folder. If so, the logic again loops back through decision block 124, since application folders are omitted from the scan to identify media content. The reason for this omission is that if the scan imported every media file from subfolders under the �Program Files� folder, it would likely import media files provided by third parties as part of application programs. By default, application folders for application programs that are installed on a PC are frequently created under the Program Files root folder. Any third party providing such an application program would likely prefer that the present invention not include such media files that are part of that third party's program and are not part of a user content collection. Accordingly, the hard drive scan avoids the entire Program Files folder subtree, as well as the �System� and �System 32� folder subtrees of the WINDOWS� operating system, which are also likely to contain third party media files. It is certainly possible for third party applications to be installed in a folder subtree other than under these three predefined folders. In fact, a user can manually override the default rules regarding predefined folders that should be omitted from the scan and customize settings of the present invention so that the �Program Files� folders or other folders omitted by default from the scan are instead included in the hard disk scan. However, the present invention at least attempts to minimize the chance of including media files that are not part of the user's content, although it may not entirely eliminate this risk. Clearly, the goal is to import only content, which is of primary interest to the users, which is their own media files, rather than the media files associated with application programs or other media files that are inappropriate. [0042] If the current folder being scanned is not an application program folder, the logic proceeds to a decision block 130, which determines if the current folder includes a filter. Folders of this type are capable of showing a user only certain files included therein. One common folder that includes a filter is the �Recycle Bin� folder, which typically contains a hidden file called �desktop.ini� that contains a class identification (CLSID) profile string for a computer object model (COM) object. If the �desktop.ini� file is found in a folder and it contains a CLSID or CLSID2 profile string, the disk scan component of the present invention avoids that folder and all of its subfolders, if any. [0043] If the folder has a filter,. the logic loops back to decision block 124, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 132, which determines if the current folder being scanned is hidden. If so, logic loops back to decision block 124 to avoid scanning a folder that a user or administrator has designated as hidden, since such folders are very unlikely to include media clips produced by the user that should be a part of the collection of user content. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 134. In this decision block, the logic determines if the current folder is a profile folder for other than the current user, and if so, again loops back to decision block 124. The basis for this determination is that on a multi-user system, it is likely that different users will have personal media located in or under their own profile folders. Accordingly, it would be a breach of privacy for the present invention to scan any folders in a profile that does not belong to the user who is currently logged on to the computer. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer therefore avoids scanning any profile folder that does not belong to the current user or any subfolders of profile folders for a different user than the current user. The only exception to this rule is that the scan will search the �All Users� profile folder and subfolders thereof, since this profile folder is not considered private and is available to all users of the computer. If the response to this determination is negative, a block 136 provides for including the current folder in a folder list or folders that may include media that should be part of the collection of user content being developed. [0044] Next, the current folder is evaluated in a decision block 138 to determine if the folder contains media files of the user. If not, the logic proceeds back to decision block 124 to select another folder for scanning. However, if the folder does contain media files, the logic proceeds to a block 140 in which the current folder is marked as a media-containing folder. [0045] Once all of the folders have been evaluated in the scan of the hard drive, decision block 124 transfers the logic to a decision block 142, which determines if there are any more hard drives to search. If not, the scanning component logic of the Clip Organizer software terminates. However, if the response to decision block 142 is affirmative, a block 144 provides for advancing the search to the next fixed hard drive or volume of the storage. The logic then repeats the scanning steps discussed above, starting with block 120. [0046] Sibling Rule [0047] Referring back to FIG. 2, following the scan of all of the hard drives on which the user's media might be located, a block 104 applies a sibling rule as a basis for determining which folders without user content should be included in a collection hierarchy to insure that the hierarchy remains understandable in regard to locating collections but is relatively �flat.� The sibling rule is a key to striking the correct balance between producing a derived collection hierarchy that is as flat as possible, while insuring that the hierarchy makes sense to a user. Specifically, instead of including only folders with media as part of the collection, the sibling rule provides a basis for creating a collection having folders that do not include user media files. Such �empty� folders are included if and only if they meet certain criteria. Details of the logical steps implemented in applying the sibling rule are illustrated in FIG. 4. [0048]FIG. 4 begins with a decision block 150 that determines if there are any more folders in the folder list to be evaluated in accord with the sibling rule. If so, a block 152 obtains the next folder in the list that was created during the scan of folders on the user's hard drive. A decision block 154 then determines if the current folder thus obtained has already been marked as a media folder (i.e., a folder that includes one or more user media files). If so, the logic loops back to decision block 150. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 156. In this decision block, a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder that contains media files. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 158. In decision block 158, the logic determines if a sibling folder of the current folder or a subfolder of a sibling folder contains one or more user media files. (A sibling folder is one that is at the same subfolder level below a parent folder as the present folder.) If not, the logic again loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a block 160, in which the current folder is marked as a media folder, i.e., as a folder that will be included in the collection hierarchy. Thereafter, the logic also loops back to decision block 150. [0049] From the preceding explanation, it will be apparent that any folder that does not include media will only be included in the collection hierarchy if and only if any user media files are included in at least one subfolder of that folder and a sibling folder includes any user media files or has subfolders with user media files. The sibling rule provides sufficient empty folders in the collection hierarchy to enable a user to determine the path to media-containing folders and to differentiate between different path branches in the collection hierarchy. By minimizing the number of �empty� folders that must be included to provide complete path information for folders that contain media files of interest, unnecessary clutter is avoided in the collection hierarchy. However, a user can still determine where to find media in folders, since the included empty folders provide a logical hierarchy in which the path and branching between media folders is clearly delineated. In general, root folders, and therefore root collections derived from those root folders, are more recognizable by users than leaf folders. The sibling rule takes this principle into consideration and puts it to good use. If the sibling rule were not applied, and the collection hierarchy only included folders with media, the hierarchy would become so flat as to cause confusion, and users would in some instances be unable to determine where their media files are located within the hierarchy. The sibling rule restores a balance of efficiency based on �flatness,� and maintains sufficient hierarchy differentiation to enable a user to understand where media files are located. [0050] Creating the Collection [0051] Again referring back to FIG. 2, the next step in the process implemented by the present invention is to create a collection, as noted in a block 106. This step simply involves the process of creating �folder-like� constructs with the Clip Organizer software application comprising the present invention, to provide a hierarchical relationship between the media collections. The folder-like constructs that are thus created contain only user media (i.e., do not include unsupported file types in them), so that the media files can be found by a user. An important aspect of this step is that when collections are created by the present invention, they are created in a user's media database. With each collection in the database is associated a full path that indicates the location on the hard drive of the collection. Provision of this full path is important, because it sets up an import and indexing component and a browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. In addition, each collection receives an �auto-import state� property. The auto-import state property can have one of three different settings that are user selectable, for updating the collection. These settings include a decision by the user to either: (1) add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection; or (2) add new or changed files only to the collection; or (3) don't add either files or folders to the collection. [0052] By default, the present invention sets the first option to �add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection� and therefore does not require user interaction when this property is initially set. However, if the user subsequently chooses, the option can be reset by the user to a different one of the three options. The auto-import option setting is particularly relevant to the browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. Another important aspect of collection creation is that each storage construct in the media management system has properties that help it to automatically import and index the media files that it contains and make it aware of the file system that it represents. [0053] Importing and Indexing Component [0054] After creating the collections in block 106, a block 108 provides for carrying out the import and indexing component of the present invention. Details of the steps implemented in importing and indexing are shown in FIG. 5, beginning with a decision block 170. This decision block determines if there are any more collections to be processed. If not, the import and indexing function is completed and this portion of the program terminates. However, if any collection remains to be processed, the logic advances to the first (or next) collection to be processed in a block 172. This step is followed by a block 174 in which the logic obtains a mapped folder, which is a folder associated with the collection currently being processed. A decision block 176 then determines if the folder that was just obtained has any new media to import into the collection. During the initial creation of the collection hierarchy, each folder that includes media files of the user will be treated as if the media is new and must be imported. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 170. [0055] Assuming that the folder being processed indeed includes new media files to import, the logic proceeds to a block 178 and imports the next media file included in the current folder. The file suffix is added as a keyword in the metadata for the file in a block 180. (The suffix is the media file extension, such as �wav� for audio files in the wave format, or �jpg� for digital photographs in the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.) In addition, recalling that each file of a particular media type that is included within a collection will have its full folder path associated with it, a block 182 provides for adding folder names in that path as keywords in the metadata associated with the file. [0056] It is generally assumed that users will typically store media files within a folder structure based upon the content or subject matter of the media files. For example, a user might store a digital photograph file �beach1.jpg� that was taken with an OLYMPUS� digital camera on the beach during a vacation to Hawaii in 1999 in a folder having a path such as �C:\My Documents\My Photos\Digital Camera\Olympus\Vacations\Hawaii\1999\Beach1.jpg.� This path would be parsed by the Clip Organizer software to identify keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file. These keywords would include: �My Documents,� �My Photos,� �Digital Camera,� �Olympus,� �Vacations,� �Hawaii,� and �1999.� For this scheme to operate effectively, users will need to initially store their media files of interest in a folder structure configured so that the path of the media file includes keywords that can be used for locating the media files based on their subject matter, type, topic, and/or other keywords entered by a user in a search dialog that are likely to be part of the metadata associated with the user content in the user collections database. [0057] A block 184 adds additional metadata to the database by including the filename as a caption for the file. In addition, the localized media type, such as �photograph,� �clip art,� �sound,� or �motion� is also included within the metadata for the file stored in the database. A decision block 188 then determines if any further new media files are available to import in the current folder, and if so, the logic returns to block 178 to process the next new media file in the current collection. If not, the logic returns to decision block 170 to determine if any further collections remain to be processed, and if so, processes them in a similar manner. If not, the import and indexing component of the Clip Organizer software is completed and terminates. [0058] It will be evident from the above example in which a path for a particular digital photograph file capturing a beach scene was parsed to determine keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file, beachl jpg, a user could subsequently locate that file as well as other media files in the database that relate to the vacation in Hawaii by searching the collection hierarchy stored in the collections database, based on the keyword �Hawaii.� The user could also specifically identify digital photographs relating to beach scenes by searching for metadata that include the word �beach� within the metadata associated with each of the files included within the collection hierarchy stored in the user's content database. [0059] Clearly, folders and files stored on a hard drive are not static. It is understood that new folders will be created and new content media files will added to the storage without using the present invention. As a result, a different mechanism is provided for including the new content added in this manner so that the new content is incorporated with the user media collections produced by the present invention. Each media collection organized by the present invention has within it a folder path associated with each of its media files. Accordingly, the folder paths for a collection can be automatically examined on the hard drive at the specific locations to determine if a change has been made in the folder path indicating the location where the media files of the collection are stored. Any changes that are detected are used to automatically modify the folder path so that it indicates the new location. [0060] Browse Import Function [0061] When a user browses a collection hierarchy in Clip Organizer, the user may select a collection that is assigned to a specific hard drive location. Accordingly, several events are triggered as a result of the user browsing the collection that depend upon the setting of the auto-import state property selected for that collection. The steps associated with the browsing of a collection are referred to as a browse import function in a block 110 in FIG. 2. [0062] Details of the logical steps implemented in the browse import function are provided in FIG. 6, beginning with a decision block 200. This decision block determines if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed has been set ON, which means simply that the collection properties have been set to enable the logic to look for new media files, or new media folders, or both. If not, the user has selectively determined that the program should not look for new files or new folders to be added to the current collection, and the logic terminates for this aspect of the process. As noted above, however, the default setting for the auto-import property is to add new or changed files and subfolders to update a collection. Thus, in most cases, the auto-import state for a collection will be set to the ON condition, leading to a decision block 202. Decision block 202 determines if there are any folders associated with the current collection, and if not, the logic terminates, since there is no requirement for any processing of this collection (i.e., because it does not have any folders to examine for new files or subfolders). Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 204 to determine if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed by the user has been set to create new subcollections. Again, the default would be to create new subcollections. Alternatively, a user may have decided to only add new or changed files to the current collection, but not new subcollections. Assuming that the auto-import state provides for creating new subcollections, a block 205 provides for obtaining the first mapped folder for the current collection. A negative response to decision block 204 leads to a decision block 208, which determines if the auto-import state is set to import new media files (i.e., the default condition). If not, the logic terminates. However, if the auto-import setting property indicates that new media files are to be imported into the current collection automatically, the logic proceeds to a block 209 that provides for obtaining the first mapped folder. [0063] A decision block 212 then determines if this folder has new media files associated with it and if not, proceeds to a decision block 216, which determines if there are any more mapped folders (folders associated with the collection). If so, the logic advances to a block 210, in which the next mapped folder is obtained. Thereafter, the logic again returns to decision block 212. Assuming that the current folder has new media files in decision block 212, a block 214 automatically imports and indexes all new files of the media type included within the collections maintained by the present invention. The import and indexing step is carried out in accord with the logic discussed above in connection with FIG. 5. After all new media files associated with the current folder have been imported and indexed, the logic continues with decision block 216. If there are no more mapped folders associated with the present collection in decision block 216, the logic terminates. [0064] Referring again to block 205, after obtaining the mapped folder, the logic proceeds to a block 218 in which a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder in which media files are included. If so, the next step in a block 220 is to create a new subcollection corresponding to the subfolder and the media files included therein. A negative response to decision block 218 leads to a decision block 222. After block 220, a decision block 221 determines if there are any more subfolders with media files and if so, the logic returns to block 220 to create a new subcollection. A negative response in decision block 221 leads to decision block 222. Decision block 222 determines if there are any more mapped folders and if not, the logic advances to decision block 208. If additional mapped folders exist, the logic proceeds with a block 206 to obtain the next mapped folder in the collection and repeats the steps noted above. [0065] It will be apparent that the auto-importing of files and subcollections in accord with the steps illustrated in FIG. 6 are implemented each time that a user browses a given collection. It should also be noted that the browse initiated auto-import process only applies to subfolders containing new media files found one level down from a currently included mapped folder. Any new media files that reside more than one level down from the existing collection hierarchy folder will not be automatically imported into the collection hierarchy in response to a user browsing. Application of the limitation of one level down subfolder searching is an intended design feature of this preferred embodiment of the present invention. Even though the subfolder search occurs on its own thread, all new entries written to the database for the collection must be written on the primary thread according to this preferred embodiment. It is important that the search be quick and ideally not find too many new collections to create, to avoid having the primary thread slow down to the point at which a user will notice a performance hit in processing speed. By limiting the search to a single subfolder depth, this step can be time efficient so that the user does not notice any significant processing slow down and yet still benefits by having new media folders found and imported into the database as a result of the user simply browsing existing collections. This technique enables users to �instantly� see new collections appear with descriptive names when the steps in block 214 are implemented. When a user selects the newly added collection to investigate, any files found in the hard drive subfolder (one level down) associated with that new collection are also then automatically imported and indexed. Thus, as the user continues to browse to newly added subcollections, additional subfolders are added in accord with the logic discussed above. [0066] It is also important to note that this process has been designed to account for the fact that the folders and media files stored on a hard drive will typically evolve slowly and not radically change in a very short time frame. If users elect to create subfolders on their hard drive and organize files with more granularity, they will typically create subfolders only one level down from existing ones and arrange their files among the new subfolders thus created. Accordingly, the one subfolder down approach discussed above is particularly appropriate. When a user next uses the Clip Organizer to browse a collection associated with an original folder, the new subfolders will be detected and added as a new subcollection of the existing collection. In addition, any files in the subfolders will be imported and indexed automatically for a user. Furthermore, since the newly created collection found by auto-importing folders one level down has a full path associated with it, along with its auto-import state setting that will allow it to find new media subfolders, the user can continually have new subfolders created and new media imported and indexed by repeatedly browsing on each successive newly added collection as it is created. Should a hard drive ever become too radically different for the present invention to adapt to in this manner, the user can always rerun the full scanning algorithm discussed above in connection with FIG. 2 to obtain an updated collection hierarchy that reflects all of the changes made to the storage since the last time the user ran the full scanning algorithm. [0067] As noted above, the user has an option to customize the settings regarding importing of new or changed files and subfolders. Furthermore, these settings can be separately selectively set for each collection and can be optionally set so that the auto-import feature is turned off for both new files and new folders. In this manner, this embodiment of the present invention makes it possible for a user to customize the properties for each collection, if they so choose. [0068] Exemplary User Interface Dialogs [0069] A dialog box 230 included in a preferred embodiment of the present invention enables a user to selectively control adding media files or clips to the collection hierarchy. This dialog box has a title line 232 that reads �Add Clips To Organizer.� If the user elects to carry out a default scan of the hard drive, it is only necessary to click on an OK button 236. Also provided is a Cancel button 238. Alternatively, the user can specify the hard disks and/or folders that should be scanned for media clips by selecting an Options control 240 (see FIG. 9, which is described below). [0070]FIG. 8 illustrates a dialog box 250 that is displayed as the user's hard drive or storage is scanned by a preferred embodiment of the present invention. This dialog box includes a title line 252 that reads �Clip Organizer.� A progress bar 254 includes a plurality of segments 256 that increase in number to lengthen the progress bar as the scanning of the hard drive and importing of the collections continues. Also provided is a Cancel button 258 that is selectable by a user to interrupt the process. [0071]FIG. 9 illustrates a dialog 260 presented in response to a user selecting Options control 240 in dialog box 230 (FIG. 7). Exemplary dialog 260 includes a title line 262 that reads �Auto Import Settings.� A folder tree window 264 illustrate the various folders and subfolders on the user's hard drive. Boxes with checks 266 are associated with the folders that were found during the scan to have media files. If a user clears the check mark in a box associated with a specific folder, the present invention will not create a collection for the folder in Clip Organizer, and none of its media files will be imported for the user. A vertical scroll bar and a horizontal scroll bar 272 are included to access folders not currently visible in the dialog folder tree. In addition, a catalog control 274 is selectable by the user to initiate the application of the sibling rule for the folders associated with all remaining checked boxes, creation of collections for those folders, and importation of the media files for the folders. Alternatively, a user can select a Cancel button 276 to close the window. [0072] Once a user's hard drive has been scanned and a plurality of collections have been created that include the user's media clips, the user is presented with a collection hierarchy view as shown in exemplary main graphic user interface (GUI) window 280 in FIG. 10. At the top of GUI window 280 are disposed a menu 284 and a toolbar 286. A collections list pane 288 displays a collection hierarchy view. It must be emphasized that the collection hierarchy is generally not identical to the folder tree view (i.e., the WINDOWS� Explorer view) of the hard drive storage from which the collection hierarchy is derived. The differences between the collection hierarchy view and the folder tree view result because of the flattening of the folder tree that occurs in the collection hierarchy to include only those folders in which media clips are included (and normally excluding the five predefined types of folders that are typically not scanned for media clips), in addition to the empty folders that do not have any media clips, but which are included within the collection hierarchy to differentiate between branches in accord with the sibling rule. Main GUI window 280 includes a title bar 282 that reads �The Innocents�Clip Organizer.� The title bar includes the phrase �The Innocents,� because a folder 294 with that name has been selected and is open in the collection hierarchy. Media files 302 included within folder 294 are displayed in a file list pane 300 in main GUI window 280. Other folders 290 are included in collections list pane 288, only some of which include media files. Each folder that includes media files corresponds to a different collection. In this particular example, a number of empty folders are included as subfolders under an empty folder 292 entitled �My Music.� Vertical and horizontal scroll bars 296 and 298 provide access to additional folders that are not currently visible in collections list pane 288. [0073] In media file list pane 300, the names of each media file in the current selected collection are listed, along with a caption 304 and keywords 306. It should be noted that the keywords are derived from the path of folder 294 and include �The Innocents,� �Erasure,� �My Music,� �Documents,� �All Users.Winnt,� and �Documents And Settings.� The keyword �Sounds� (only partially shown due to space limitations) identifies the type of media clip stored in folder 294, all of which are Windows Media Audio (*.wma) files and thus properly in the category �Sounds.� Keywords 306 comprise the metadata that can readily be searched by a user to locate specific media files based upon the content, subject matter, and/or category automatically associated with the files. It should be noted that keywords 306 are not derived from the collection hierarchy, but instead are derived from the full path to folder 294. This point is evident, since the collection hierarchy does not include the folder �Documents and Settings,� but the full path for the folder does. Optionally, a user can type a question in a text entry box 308 to obtain help on a specific topic. [0074] In FIG. 11, an exemplary dialog 320 illustrates properties for The Innocents collection shown in FIG. 10. A title bar 322 reads �The Innocents Collection Properties.� A text box 324 includes the name of the collection, �The Innocents,� while a path box 326 includes folders associated with the collection by listing a path 328 for it. Optionally, a user can click on an Add button 330 to associate additional folders with the collection, or can select a Delete button 332 to delete folders previously associated with the collection. The lower part of properties box 320 includes the three possible settings for the auto-update option. In this example, the default has been selected as indicated by a radio button 334 that is selected to provide for adding new or changed files and subfolders to the current collection. Alternatively, a user can select radio button 336, which provides for adding new or changed files only, or radio button 338, which provides for not adding files or subfolders to this collection. Once the options have been selected, a user can select an OK button 340, or may select a Cancel button 342 if the user decides not to modify the properties for the collection. [0075] Referring now to FIG. 12, a dialog 350 is opened to enable a user to search and locate a particular user media file or type of media file in the user's collections. Search dialog 350 has a title bar 352 that reads �Search.� If the user wants to search for keywords in the metadata associated with the media files, the user will enter the likely keywords in a text block 354. In this example, the user has entered the text �Vacation,� indicating that any media file having that text string in its path and thus automatically included in the metadata for the file as a result of the automatic indexing of the media files will be located by the search. A Search control button 356 is selected once the desired keywords have been entered, or the user can restart the text entry process by selecting a Restore control button 358. A drop down list box 360 includes options that enable a user to choose to search all collections, or to pick one or more specific collections to search. Also, a drop down list box 362 is provided that enables a user to search all media files, or limit the search for a specific one or more types of media files. When the Search control is selected, a list of all media files meeting the desired criteria will be displayed to the user. [0076] Although the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred form of practicing it and modifications thereto, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that many additional modifications can be made to the invention within the scope of the claims that follow. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the invention in any way be limited by the above description, but instead be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow.

So happy we were able to stay here. The customer service is outstanding! Rooms were perfect for 3 people with a double & pull out coach. Enjoyed the free breakfast each morning as well. The staff is the BEST I have had at a hotel in a VERY long time!

I stopped in for one night to break up my DC to Florida drive. It's very close to the Interstate and offers free breakfast and wifi.

Very clean and nice hotel. Staff was friendly, rooms were nice in size, my family of 5 fit perfectly. My only disappointment from our stay was the breakfast, it didn't have many choices. I suggest having the waffle maker, more than one option of toast (wheat and white). Awesome coffee though. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, just wanted more in...

Very close to 95. Perfect for tired travelers. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. There are several hotels in the same parking lot, this one was in the back and very quiet. Breakfast was great touch, so many choices. Great for traveling families. First floor was very convenient but a bit noisy.

The staff wasnt that friendly when checking in, but whoever was helping at the complimentary breakfast was amazing got us more fruit right away when they ran out in the front. We were checked in quick, room was alright the beds were definitely not queen beds. I had a tough time fitting two people in a bed without elbowing someone...

This place is fantastic, the workers are great, and it is very well kept! Very convenient for travelers going down to beaches in South Carolina as it is only a couple hours away from the coast! We will definitely be staying here again on our way down to Myrtle Beach next year!

Nice Springhill Suites about halfway from our trip from Florida. Many places to eat in and around hotel. Breakfast selection was very good except eating area is a little small for the size of the hotel.

HIV-testing refusal during pregnancy: implication for pediatric HIV epidemic disparity.Aynalem G1, Mendoza P, Frederick T, Mascola L.Author information1Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, Acute Communicable Disease Control Program, Pediatric HIV/AIDS Surveillance, California, USA. [email protected] identify characteristics of pregnant women who refuse HIV testing and determine predictive factors and the reasons for refusal, we conducted face-to-face interviews of pregnant women at prenatal clinics of public and private hospitals. We found 8% (n=65) of 826 pregnant women interviewed refused HIV testing. In bivariate analysis, foreign-born pregnant women residing in Los Angeles County were twice more likely to refuse HIV testing than U.S.-born pregnant women (odds ratio [OR] = 1.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-3.49, p <.05). In a multivariate stepwise logistic regression model analysis, variables that were independent predictors of HIV testing refusal during pregnancy were being foreign-born (OR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.07-4.38), not receiving general information about HIV (OR = 7.48, 95% CI 1.86-30.01), and not receiving specific information about HIV and pregnancy (OR = 3.54, 95% CI 1.91-6.57). The most common reasons for testing refusal were being in a monogamous relationship for foreign-born women (41%) and already being tested for U.S.-born women (65%).PMID: 15146131 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH TermsPublication TypesResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.MeSH TermsAdolescentAdultChildChild WelfareCross-Sectional StudiesDisease Outbreaks*Emigration and Immigration*Ethnic GroupsFemaleHIV Infections/diagnosis*HIV Infections/epidemiologyHIV Infections/transmission*HumansInfant, NewbornOdds RatioPregnancyPregnancy Complications, Infectious/diagnosis*Risk FactorsTreatment Refusal*LinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesEBSCOGale DatabasesIngenta plcOvid Technologies, Inc.ProQuestOther Literature SourcesLabome Researcher Resource - ExactAntigen/LabomeAccess more work from the authors - ResearchGateMedicalPregnancy - Genetic AllianceHIV - Genetic AllianceHIV/AIDS - MedlinePlus Health InformationHIV/AIDS in Women - MedlinePlus Health InformationInfections and Pregnancy - MedlinePlus Health InformationPubMed Commons home | [

This product is made in the USA so I was very hopeful it would be of surprisingly good quality given it cost so much more than other similar products. No such luck. I returned it almost as fast as I purchased it. None of the construction looked to be able to stand one trip much less a college move, which is why I bought it. You'd be much better paying the additional $50 - $100 for a quality footlocker. Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0) Report Thank you! You have successfully submitted feedback for this review.

A catalyst composition, a process for producing the composition and a process for the conversion of a feedstock containing C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons to produce a resulting product containing lighter aromatic products and less than about 0.5 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of the resulting product. The C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons are converted under the transalkylation reaction conditions to a reaction product containing xylene. The catalyst composition comprises (i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300; and (ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300. The composition can be produced by to incorporating at least one hydrogenation component into an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300.
(a) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 500, said acidity component comprising:
i) a first molecular sieve consisting of ZSM-12; and
ii) a second molecular sieve consisting of ZSM-5; and
(b) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 1000;
wherein said catalyst composition is characterized as particulate and wherein said hydrogenation component is incorporated into said acidity component by at least one of ion exchange, incipient wetness impregnation, and solid-state reaction, followed by calcining and then steam treatment.
2. The catalyst composition according to claim 1, wherein said hydrogenation component comprises rhenium.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/294,428, filed Nov. 14, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,148,391, the disclosure which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The invention relates to a catalyst composition useful for converting heavy aromatics, specifically C9+ aromatics, to lighter aromatic products, particularly benzene, toluene and xylenes (hereinafter collectively referred to as BTX), to a process for producing the composition and to a process for using the composition in a heavy aromatics conversion process.
A source of benzene and xylenes is catalytic reformate, which is prepared by contacting a mixture of petroleum naphtha and hydrogen with a strong hydrogenation/dehydrogenation catalyst, such as platinum, on a moderately acidic support, such as a halogen-treated alumina. Usually, a C6 to C8 fraction is separated from the reformate and extracted with a solvent selective for aromatics or aliphatics to produce a mixture of aromatic compounds that is relatively free of aliphatics. This mixture of aromatic compounds usually contains BTX, along with ethylbenzene.
Refineries have also focused on the production of benzene and xylenes by transalkylation of C9+ aromatics and toluene over noble metal-containing zeolite catalysts. High value petrochemical products, such as benzene and xylenes, together with ethylbenzene are formed during the transalkylation of C9+ aromatics and toluene over catalysts containing noble metals. The resulting translation product is subjected to further separation of non-aromatics, benzene, C8 aromatics (i.e., ethylbenzene, para-xylene, meta-xylene, and ortho-xylene), unreacted toluene, and unreacted C9+ aromatics. Usually, the C8 aromatics product is subjected to further separation to produce xylenes, particularly, para-xylene. Lowering the amount of ethylbenzene in the C8 aromatics improves efficiency of xylene recovery. Therefore, there are strong economic and technical incentives to decrease the ethylbenzene concentration in the transalkylation product. The amount of ethylbenzene in the transalkylation product depends primarily on (a) the feedstock composition and (b) the transalkylation catalyst and the transalkylation conditions. Typically, the C9+ aromatics feedstock and/or the toluene feed contains ethylbenzene as an impurity ranging from 0.001 to 4 wt % based on total weight of the feed. Other than the ethylbenzene in the feedstock, ethylbenzene can be formed during transalkylation process from a feed comprising ethyl-containing C9+ aromatics and from various side-reactions.
One solution to the problem of the ethylbenzene in the transalkylation product during the transalkylation of heavy aromatics is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,942,651 and involves the steps of contacting a feed comprising C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons and toluene under transalkylation reaction conditions with a first catalyst composition comprising a zeolite having a constraint index ranging from 0.5 to 3, such as ZSM-12, and a hydrogenation component. The effluent resulting from the first contacting step is then contacted with a second catalyst composition which comprises a zeolite having a constraint index ranging from 3 to 12, such as ZSM-5, and which may be in a separate bed or a separate reactor from the first catalyst composition to produce a transalkylation reaction product comprising benzene and xylene. The ethylbenzene in the feed and/or the ethylbenzene formed during transalkylation process is partially destroyed by dealkylation of ethylbenzene to benzene and ethylene.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,905,051 discloses a process for converting a hydrocarbon stream such as, for example, a C9+ aromatic compound to C6 to C8 aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylenes, by contacting the stream with a catalyst system comprising a first catalyst composition and a second catalyst composition, wherein said catalyst compositions are present in separate stages and are not physically mixed or blended and wherein said first catalyst composition is a metal-promoted, alumina- or silica-bound zeolite beta, and said second catalyst composition is ZSM-5 having incorporated therein an activity promoter selected from the group consisting of silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and combinations thereof. According to the '051 patent, the use of the separate catalytic stages improves the conversion of C9+ aromatic compounds and naphthalenes to xylenes and decreases the amount of undesirable ethylbenzene in the product. The ethylbenzene in the '051 product is about 3-7 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of the resulting product.
It has now been found that a catalyst system comprising a molecular sieve exhibits enhanced acidity and hydrogenation activity for substantial removal of ethyl-group containing aromatic compounds in C9+ aromatic feeds without overall reduction in the conversion of the C9+ feed to useful compounds, such as xylenes.
In one embodiment, the invention relates to a catalyst composition comprising:
i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300; and
ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to a process for producing a catalyst composition comprising:
i) contacting an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300 with at least one hydrogenation component under a condition sufficient to incorporate said hydrogenation component into said acidity component to form a modified acidity component; and
ii) calcining said modified acidity component to produce said catalyst having hydrogenation activity of at least 300.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to a process for the conversion of a feedstock containing C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons to produce a resulting product containing lighter aromatic products and less than about 0.5 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product, said process comprising contacting said feedstock under transalkylation reaction conditions with a catalyst composition comprising: (i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300; and (ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300, the C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons being converted under said transalkylation reaction conditions to a reaction product containing xylenes. Preferably, the aromatic product contains less than about 0.3 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product. More preferable, the aromatic product contains less than about 0.2 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product.
Preferably, the acidity component comprises a molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of one or more of a first molecular sieve having a MTW structure, a molecular sieve having a MOR structure, and a porous crystalline inorganic oxide material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima (Å) at 12.4±0.25, 6.9±0.15, 3.57±0.07 and 3.42±0.07. More preferably, the catalyst comprises a molecular sieve ZSM-12. Alternatively, the porous crystalline inorganic oxide material is selected from the group consisting of one or more of MCM-22, PSH-3, SSZ-25, MCM-36, MCM-49 and MCM-56.
In another embodiment, the catalyst comprises second molecular sieve having a constraint index ranging from 3 to 12. Preferably, the second molecular sieve is ZSM-5. Preferably, the catalyst comprises two molecular sieves, the first molecular sieve is ZSM-12, and the second molecular sieve is ZSM-5. Conveniently, the catalyst composition is particulate and the first and second molecular sieves are each contained in the same catalyst particles.
Preferably, the hydrogenation component is selected from the group consisting of one or more of a Group VIIIB and Group VIIB metal. More preferably, the hydrogenation component is selected from the group consisting of one or more of rhenium, platinum, and palladium.
Typically, the feed contains benzene or toluene. In a further aspect, the invention resides in a process for producing benzene comprising the steps of: (a) reacting C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons and toluene under transalkylation reaction conditions over a catalyst composition comprising (i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300; and (ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300, to produce a resulting product stream comprising benzene and xylenes; and (b) distilling the benzene from said product stream to obtain a benzene product. Preferably, the aromatic product contains less than about 0.5 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product. More preferable, the aromatic product contains less than about 0.3 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product. More preferable, the aromatic product contains less than about 0.2 wt % of ethylbenzene based on the weight of C8 aromatics fraction of said resulting product.
In a further aspect, the invention resides in a process for processing C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons at least at a rate of ten kilograms per hour.
In a preferred embodiment, this invention provides a catalyst composition comprises (i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300, perferably the alpha value of at least 400, more preferably the alpha value of at least 500; and (ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300, perferably the hydrogenation activity of at least 500, more preferably the hydrogenation activity of at least 1000.
Preferably, the acidity component comprises a first molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of one or more of a molecular sieve having a MTW structure, a molecular sieve having a MOR structure, and a porous crystalline inorganic oxide material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima (Å) at 12.4±0.25, 6.9±0.15, 3.57±0.07 and 3.42±0.07. More preferably, the catalyst comprises a molecular sieve ZSM-12. Alternatively, the porous crystalline inorganic oxide material is selected from the group consisting of MCM-22, PSH-3, SSZ-25, MCM-36, MCM-49 and MCM-56.
Preferably, said hydrogenation component is incorporated into said acidity component by ion-exchange, incipient wetness impregnation, solid-state reaction, or combinations of two or more thereof. More preferably, said hydrogenation component is incorporated into said acidity component by ion exchange, and/or incipient wetness impregnation.
As used herein, the term “lighter aromatic products” is defined to mean aromatic molecules in products having fewer carbon atoms than the carbon atoms of aromatic molecules in the feedstock. For example, para-xylene, one of the resulting products of C9+ transalkylation with toluene and/or benzene, has 8 carbon atoms which is less than 9 or more carbon atoms in C9+ aromatic molecules.
(i) an acidity component having an alpha value of at least 300; and
(ii) a hydrogenation component having hydrogenation activity of at least 300,
The acidity component is a material of having an alpha value of at least 300, such as, silica-alumina, acidic zicoria, a molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of a molecular sieve having a MTW structure, a molecular sieve having a MOR structure, and a porous crystalline inorganic oxide material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including d-spacing maxima (Å) at 12.4±0.25, 6.9±0.15, 3.57±0.07 and 3.42±0.07.
With regard to the molecular sieve, ZSM-12 is more particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,449. Mordenite occurs naturally but may also be used in one of its synthetic forms, such as TEA-mordenite (i.e., synthetic mordenite prepared from a reaction mixture comprising a tetraethylammonium directing agent), which is disclosed in U.S. Pat.

Typically, the second molecular sieve constitutes from 0 to 95 wt %, such as from in excess of 20 to 80 wt % based on the total weight of the first and second molecular sieves in the catalyst composition.
As used herein, the Diffusion Parameter of a particular porous crystalline material is defined as D/r2×106, wherein D is the diffusion coefficient (cm2/sec) and r is the crystal radius (cm). The required diffusion parameters can be derived from sorption measurements provided the assumption is made that the plane sheet model describes the diffusion process. Thus for a given sorbate loading Q, the value Q/Q∞, where Q∞is the equilibrium sorbate loading, is mathematically related to (Dt2/r)1/2 where t is the time (sec) required to reach the sorbate loading Q. Graphical solutions for the plane sheet model are given by J. Crank in “The Mathematics of Diffusion”, Oxford University Press, Ely House, London, 1967.

The synthesis mixture may also contain nucleating seeds of ZSM-12 and, where such seeds are present, they typically constitute 0.05-5 wt % of the mixture. Crystallization of the synthesis mixture may be carried out under either stirred or static conditions, preferably stirred conditions, at a temperature of 160° C. or less, such as 140 to 160° C. for 48 to 500 hours, whereafter the resultant ZSM-12 crystals are separated from the mother liquor and recovered
Naturally occurring clays that can be composited with the molecular sieve's as a binder for the catalyst composition include the montmorillonite and kaolin family, which families include the subbentonites, and the kaolins commonly known as Dixie, McNamee, Georgia and Florida clays or others in which the main mineral constituent is halloysite, kaolinite, dickite, nacrite or anauxite. Such clays can be used in the raw state as originally mined or initially subjected to calcination, acid treatment or chemical modification.
In addition to the foregoing materials, the molecular sieve's can be composited with a porous matrix binder material, such as an inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, zirconia, titania, thoria, beryllia, magnesia, and combinations thereof, such as silica-alumina, silica-magnesia, silica-zirconia, silica-thoria, silica-beryllia, silica-titania, as well as ternary compositions such as silica-alumina-thoria, silica-alumina-zirconia, silica-alumina-magnesia and silica-magnesia-zirconia. It may also be advantageous to provide at least a part of the foregoing porous matrix binder material in colloidal form to facilitate extrusion of the catalyst composition.
Each molecular sieve is usually admixed with the binder or matrix material so that the final catalyst composition contains the binder or matrix material in an amount ranging from 5 to 90 wt %, and typically from 10 to 60 wt %.
At least the first molecular sieve, and preferably each molecular sieve, in the catalyst composition has associated therewith at least one hydrogenation component, such as tungsten, vanadium, molybdenum, rhenium, chromium, manganese, a metal selected from Group IB, IIB, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VII B, and VIIIB of the Periodic Table of the Elements (CAS version, 1979), or mixtures thereof. Useful Group VIIIB metals include iron, ruthenium, osmium, nickel, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, and noble metals such as platinum, rhenium, or palladium. Preferably, the hydrogenation component is palladium, platinum or rhenium.
The hydrogenation component can be incorporated into the catalyst composition by co-crystallization, exchanged into the composition to the extent a Group IIIA element, e.g., aluminum, is in the molecular sieve structure, impregnated therein, or mixed with the molecular sieve and binder. Such component can be impregnated in or on the molecular sieve, for example in the case of platinum, by treating the molecular sieve with a solution containing a platinum metal-containing ion. Suitable platinum compounds for impregnating the catalyst with platinum include chloroplatinic acid, platinous chloride and various compounds containing the platinum ammine complex, such as Pt(NH3)4CI2.H2O.
Alternatively, a compound of the hydrogenation component may be added to the molecular sieve when it is being composited with a binder, or after the molecular sieve and binder have been formed into particles by extrusion or palletizing.
The hydrogenation component may also be arranged to have a hydrogenation activity of hydrogenation value of at least 300, such as at least 500, preferably at least 1000. The hydrogenation function is measured by comparing the amount of ethylene to the amount of ethane in the transalkylation product. Ethylene is formed in the transalkylation process by the dealkylation of ethyl-substituted aromatic molecules and by the cracking of aliphatic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. The hydrogenation component is designed to saturate these ethylene molecules to ethane before they can engage in side reactions. The better the hydrogenation component the less ethylene will be present relative to ethane in the transalkylation product. The hydrogenation value is defined as the ratio of ethane over ethylene. The experimental conditions of the test used herein include a constant temperature of 412° C., a pressure of 2170 kPAa, a hydrogen to hydrocarbon molar ratio of 2, a toluene/1,4-methylethylbenzene ratio of 2, and a WHSV of 2.7 h−1. The hydrogenation value, measured by ethane/ethylene ratio, is calculated by the molar percentage of ethane in the product divided by the molar percentage of ethylene in the product.
After treatment with the hydrogenation component, the molecular sieve is usually dried by heating at a temperature of 65° C. to 160°, typically 110 to 143° C., for at least 1 minute and generally not longer than 24 hours, at pressures ranging from 100 to 200 kPAa. Thereafter, the molecular sieve may be calcined in a stream of dry gas, such as air or nitrogen, at temperatures of from 260° to 650° C. for 1 to 20 hours. Calcination is typically conducted at pressures ranging from 100 to 300 kPAa and a WHSV of about 0.002 to about 20 h−1.
Prior to use, steam treatment of the catalyst composition may be employed to minimize the aromatic hydrogenation activity of the catalyst composition. In the steaming process, the catalyst composition is usually contacted with from 5 to 100% steam, at a temperature of at least 260° to 650° C. for at least one hour, specifically 1 to 20 hours, at a pressure of 100 to 2590 KPAa and a WHSV of about 0.002 to about 20 h−1.
In addition, prior to contacting the catalyst composition with the hydrocarbon feed, the hydrogenation component can be sulfided. This is conveniently accomplished by contacting the catalyst with a source of sulfur, such as hydrogen sulfide, at a temperature ranging from about 320 to 480° C. The source of sulfur can be contacted with the catalyst via a carrier gas, such as hydrogen or nitrogen.
After contacting the catalyst composition with the hydrocarbon feed, the catalyst may be deactivated due to coking or metal agglomerization. The deactivated catalyst can be regenerated conveniently by coke burning with a stream comprising oxygen or oxygen containing compounds, such as, ozone, oxochlorine, carbon disxide or the like, metal re-dispersing using oxdization-reduction cycle, oxochloride treatment or the like, washing with liquid hydrocarbons or aqueous solution of inorganic and/or organic chemical compounds, such as, water, ethanol, acetone, or the like, or rejuventaion with a stream comprising hydrogen. Regeneration or rejuventation can be performed at a temperature range from ambience to about 600° C., a pressure range of about 100 to about 5000 KPAa, and WHSV of about 0.2 to about 100 h−1.
The aromatic feed used in the process of the invention comprises ethylbenzene and one or more aromatic compounds containing at least 9 carbon atoms. Specific C9+ aromatic compounds found in a typical feed include mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene), durene (1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene), hemimellitene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene), pseudocumene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene), 1,2-methylethylbenzene, 1,3-methylethylbenzene, 1,4-methylethylbenzene, propyl-substituted benzenes, butyl-substituted benzenes, and dimethylethylbenzenes. Suitable sources of the C9+ aromatics are any C9+ fraction from any refinery process that is rich in aromatics. This aromatics fraction contains a substantial proportion of C9+ aromatics, e.g., at least 80 wt % C9+ aromatics, wherein preferably at least 80 wt %, and more preferably more than 90 wt %, of the hydrocarbons will range from C9 to C12. Typical refinery fractions which may be useful include catalytic reformate, FCC naphtha or TCC naphtha.
The feed may also comprise benzene or toluene. Thus, in one practical embodiment, the feed to the transalkylation reactor comprises ethylbenzene, C9+ aromatics hydrocarbons and toluene. The feed may also include recycled/unreacted/produced benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and C9+ aromatics that is obtained by distillation of the effluent product of the transalkylation reaction itself. Typically, toluene constitutes from about 5 to about 90 wt % and C9+ constitutes from about 10 to about 95 wt %. In a typical light feed, toluene constitutes from about 40 to about 90 wt %, such as from 50 to 70 wt % of the entire feed, wheras the C9+ aromatics component constitutes from 10 to 60 wt %, such as from 30 to 50 wt %, of the entire feed to the transalkylation reaction zone. In a typical heavy feed, toluene constitutes from about 15 to about 50 wt %, such as from 25 to 40 wt % of the entire feed, wheras the C9+ aromatics component constitutes from 50 to 85 wt %, such as from 60 to 75 wt %, of the entire feed to the transalkylation reaction zone.
The process can be conducted in any appropriate reactor including a radial flow, fixed bed, continuous flow or fluid bed reactor. The transalkylation reaction conditions typically include a temperature ranging from about 343° to about 510° C., such as from about 400° to about 454° C.; a pressure from about 380 to about 4240 kPAa, such as from about 1480 to about 3550 kPAa; a hydrogen to hydrocarbon molar ratio from about 1 to about 5, such as from about 1 to about 3 and a WHSV of about 0.2 to about 20 h−1, such as from 1 to about 5 h−1. The transalkylation reaction conditions are sufficient to convert the heavy aromatic feed to a product containing substantial quantities of C6-C8 aromatic compounds, such as benzene, toluene and xylenes, especially benzene and xylene. The transalkylation reaction conditions also are sufficient to convert the ethylbenzene in the feed to benzene and ethane.
A small crystal, high activity ZSM-12 was synthesized from a mixture comprising 11280 g of water, 1210 g of methyltriethylammonium chloride (MTEACl), 1950 g of Ultrasil PM available from Degussa, 229 g of sodium aluminate solution (45%), and 364 g of 50% sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture had the following molar composition:
H2O/SiO2=22
Na+/SiO2=0.2
MTEACl/SiO2=0.26
The mixture was reacted at 160° C. in a 5-gal autoclave with stirring at 150 RPM for 144 hours. The product was filtered, washed with deionized (DI) water and dried at 120° C. The XRD pattern of the as-synthesized material showed the typical pure phase of ZSM-12 topology. The SEM of the as-synthesized material showed that the material was composed of agglomerates of small crystals (with an average crystal size of about 0.05 microns).
The as-synthesized crystals were converted into the hydrogen form by two ion exchanges with ammonium nitrate solution at room temperature, followed by drying at 120° C. and calcination at 540° C. for 6 hours. The resulting ZSM-12 crystals had a SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 44.98, an Alpha value of 500 and a D/r2 for mesitylene of greater than 5000×10−6 sec−1 at a temperature of 100° C. and a mesitylene pressure of 2 torr.
A mixture containing 65 wt % of the ZSM-12 produced as above, 15 wt % ZSM-5, and 20 wt % alumina was extruded into pellets 1.3 mm in length and having a quadrulobe cross-section. The pellets were dried at 120° C. then calcined in nitrogen for 3 hours at 480° C. This material was then exchanged with ammonium nitrate, dried at 120° C. and then calcined in air for 6 hours at 540° C. 0.5 wt % Re was then added to the catalyst by incipient wetness impregnation from an aqueous solution of tetraammine rhenium nitrate. The impregnated material was dried at 120° C. then calcined in air for 6 hours at 350° C. to produce a final catalyst.
Three grams of the resultant catalyst composition from example 1 was used to effect transalkylation of a mixture of toluene/C9+ aromatic hydrocarbon mixture having the composition given in Table 1 at a temperature of about 412° C., a pressure of 2170 kPAa, a hydrogen to hydrocarbon molar ratio of 2 and a WHSV of 2.7 h−1.

RELATED APPLICATION This application is related to and claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2003-0068498, filed on Oct. 1, 2003, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein as a reference. BACKGROUND (a) Technical Field The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a semiconductor device and, in particular, to a method for decreasing the height difference between a field oxide region and an active region so as to reduce self-aligned source (SAS) resistance at a cell region. (b) Description of the Related Art Recently, with the wide applications of flash memories and growing competition in price thereof, various technologies have been developed to reduce the sizes of the memory devices. One such technology is a self-aligned source (SAS) technique. The SAS technique is a method for reducing the cell size in a bit line direction and was described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,120,671. The SAS technique is essentially adopted for below−0.25 μm line width technology. Because the SAS technology can reduce a gap between the gate and the source of a transistor, the size of a memory cell can be reduced by about 20% with the introduction of the SAS technique. However, the conventional SAS technique has a drawback in that junction resistance of the source per cell dramatically increases because the SAS region is formed along a trench profile. Moreover, the SAS technique has another drawback in that the resistivity at a sidewall of a trench, which is a boundary region between the trench region and an active region, is much greater than and may be about 10 times as much as that at the horizontal surfaces of the trench, because the depth and amount of the implantation of the impurity ions in the sidewall are smaller than those in the other regions, such as the horizontal surfaces of the trench and the active regions. SUMMARY It is therefore desirable to address the above problem and to provide a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, which is capable of reducing the resistance generated from adopting the SAS technique. It is also desirable to provide a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, which is capable of reducing the resistance at the sidewall of the SAS region. Consistent with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor device that includes linear field oxide regions on a semiconductor substrate; gate oxide lines on active regions of the semiconductor substrate between the field oxide regions; gate lines on the field oxide regions and the gate oxide lines, the gate lines being substantially perpendicular to the field oxide regions; and recesses in the semiconductor substrate below portions of the gate oxide lines between the gate lines, the recesses exposing portions of the semiconductor substrate. Consistent with the present invention, there is also provided a method for fabricating a semiconductor device that includes forming linear field oxide regions on a semiconductor substrate; forming gate oxide lines on the semiconductor substrate between the field oxide regions; and forming gate lines on the field oxide regions and the gate oxide lines, the gate lines being substantially perpendicular to the field oxide regions, wherein forming the gate lines also includes forming recesses in the semiconductor substrate between the gate lines, the recesses exposing portions of the semiconductor substrate. Consistent with the present invention, there is further provided a method for fabricating a semiconductor device that includes forming linear field oxide regions on a semiconductor substrate; forming gate oxide lines on the semiconductor substrate between the field oxide regions; forming first gate lines on the field oxide regions and the gate oxide lines, the first gate lines being substantially perpendicular to the field oxide regions and having openingsexposing the gate oxide lines; forming a dielectric layer over the first gate lines; and forming second gate lines on the dielectric layer and the field oxide regions, the second gate lines being substantially perpendicular to the field oxide regions, wherein forming the second gate lines also includes forming recesses in the semiconductor substrate between the gate lines, the recesses exposing portions of the semiconductor substrate. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The features and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. The SAS technique is a technology for reducing the size of a memory cell in a bit line direction by decreasing a gap between a gate and a source of transistors. The SAS technique is an essential process for devices with a below−0.25 μm line width. Typically, a NOR type flash memory utilizes a common source and one source contact is formed per 16 memory cells. FIG. 1A is a plan view illustrating a conventional memory cell 100 without using the SAS technique, FIG. 1B is a plan view illustrating memory cell 100 fabricated with the SAS technique, and FIG. 1C is a cross sectional view of a portion of memory cell 100 taken along line I-I′ in FIG. 1B. In FIG. 1A, field oxide regions 10 as device isolation regions are formed in a semiconductor substrate (not numbered) in a bit line (BL) direction, and active regions 20 in which devices are formed are defined between field oxide regions 10. A drain contact 30 is formed at each cell formed in the active region 20. A plurality of gate lines 40 are formed in a word line (WL) direction, and a plurality of common source lines 50 are formed in parallel with the gate line 40 at a predetermined distance therefrom. Only one gate line 40 and one common source line 50 are shown in FIG. 1A. As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C, by introducing the SAS technique for forming memory cell 1, an SAS region 70 is formed by injecting impurity ions in a common source region which corresponds to common source line 50 after etching a plurality of field oxide trenches 60 in the semiconductor substrate. Oxide is then deposited in field oxide trenches 60 to form field oxide regions 10. FIGS. 1D and 1E are cross sectional views along line II-II′ of FIG. 1B illustrating a process of forming gate lines 40, wherein two gate lines 40 are shown. FIG. 1F is a plan view of a mask used for forming gate lines 40. In FIGS. 1D and 1E, it is assumed that memory cell 100 is a flash memory cell and that each of gate lines 40 comprises a first polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) layer acting as a floating gate, a dielectric layer such as a stacking structure of oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer, and a second polysilicon. Referring to FIG. 1D, a gate oxide layer such as tunneling oxide layer 110, a first polysilicon layer 120 acting as a floating gate, a dielectric layer 130, and a second polysilicon layer 140 are sequentially formed on a semiconductor substrate 100. A photoresist pattern 150 for forming gate lines 40 is formed on second polysilicon 140. Optionally, mask pattern 90 as shown in FIG. 1F may be used to pattern first polysilicon 120 prior to the deposition of dielectric layer 130. Next, with reference to FIG. 1E, second polysilicon layer 140, dielectric layer 130, and first polysilicon layer 120 are etched using photoresist pattern 150 as a mask. Accordingly, a plurality of gate lines 40 are formed. Because SAS region 70 (FIG. 1C) is formed along the trench profile of trenches 60 and because the actual junction resistance is proportional to a surface length of the SAS region 70, the actual junction resistance of the source per cell increases dramatically. Also, because the depth and amount of the implantation of the impurity ions in the sidewalls of trenches 60 are smaller than those in the other regions, such as the horizontal surfaces of trenches 60 and active regions 20, the resistivity of the sidewalls in trenches 60 is much greater than the resistivity in the other regions. Particularly, when injecting impurity ions for forming SAS region 70, impurity ions are injected with a tilt angle a into the sidewalls of trenches 60 and, therefore, the injection energy and the amount of impurity ions injected into each sidewall are less than those onto the horizontal surfaces of trenches 60 and active regions 20, and are proportional to sine α. Typically, the resistivity at the sidewall portions are about 10 times greater than that at the other surfaces such as the horizontal surfaces of trenches 60 and active region 20. Consistent with an embodiment of the present invention, a height of an active region of a memory device is reduced to decrease a height difference between a field oxide region and the active region. A memory device consistent with an embodiment of the present invention and the method thereof may be described with reference to FIGS. 2-4, wherein FIG. 2 is a plan view of a memory device 200, FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate cross-sectional views of memory device 200 along line III-III′ in FIG. 2 during a manufacturing process of memory device 200, FIG. 4 is a plan view of a mask pattern used during the manufacturing process of memory device 200, and FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of a portion of memory device 200 along line IV-IV′ in FIG. 2, wherein only active regions and field oxide regions of memory device 200 are shown in FIG. 5. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIGS. 3A-3B, a memory device 200 consistent with the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of field oxide regions 204 formed in a semiconductor substrate 202 for defining a plurality of active regions 206. Memory cells (not shown) are formed in active regions 206 and drain contacts 208 for providing contacts to the memory cells are shown in FIG. 2. A plurality of gate lines 210 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 2) are formed over the semiconductor substrate. Also as shown in FIG. 3B, each gate line 210 is isolated from semiconductor substrate 202 by gate oxide layer 212 and comprises a floating gate 214, a dielectric layer 216, and a control gate 218. A method for fabricating semiconductor device 200 consistent with the present invention will be described in detail. First, linear trench lines, i.e., field oxide regions 204, are formed on semiconductor substrate 202 by etching a plurality of trenches in parallel with a bit line direction. Next, after an oxide is filled in the trench, gate oxide lines 212 are formed on the semiconductor substrate between the trench lines. Next, gate lines 210 are formed on the trench lines and the gate oxide lines in a direction perpendicular to the trench lines, i.e., in parallel with a word line direction. Gate lines 210 are formed as follows. First, a first polysilicon layer 214 a is formed by depositing and etching a layer of polysilicon. A mask pattern 220 as shown in FIG. 4 is used to etch the first polysilicon to form first polysilicon layer 214 a. As shown in FIG. 4, mask pattern 220 includes openings (only one of which is shown in FIG. 4) having a width d. Accordingly, first polysilicon gate lines 214 a have the same pattern as mask pattern 220 and, as shown in FIG. 3A, first polysilicon gate lines 214 a are formed with openings 222 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 3A), exposing portions of gate oxide 212 on a portion of active region 206 where a source line of memory device 200 is to be formed, as shown in FIG. 3A. Second, a dielectric layer 216 a such as an ONO multilayer is deposited, followed by the deposition of a second polysilicon layer 218 a. Then, a photoresist pattern 224 in parallel to the word line direction is used to sequentially etch second polysilicon layer 218 a, ONO layer 216 a, and first polysilicon layer 214 a to form gate lines 210. Then, gate oxide layer 212 and semiconductor substrate 202 are further etched to form a plurality of recesses 226 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 3B) in a common source region of semiconductor substrate 202, as shown in FIG. 3B. FIG. 3B also indicates that recesses 226 have a depth R. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, after gate lines 210 are formed, the oxide in portions of the trench lines, i.e., field oxide regions 204 in the common source region located between gate lines 210, is etched away, forming a plurality of cavities 228 in the trench lines. Impurity ions are then injected into semiconductor substrate 202 exposed through recesses 226 and cavities 228 to form a SAS region 230. Because recesses 226 (FIGS. 3B and 5), which expose portions of semiconductor substrate 202 below gate oxide 212 between gate lines 210, are formed and have a depth R, the height of the top of SAS region 230 becomes lower by R, as compared to SAS region 70 of conventional memory device 100 as shown in FIG. 1C, provided other conditions are the same. Accordingly, the resistance of SAS region 230 becomes lower. The depth R of recesses 226 may be adjusted and may depend on the depth of cavities 228. In one aspect, R is equal to or less than the depth of cavities 228. For example, the cavities are formed to have a depth of 1500�4000 Å measured from the upper surface of semiconductor substrate 202, and recesses 226 may have a depth of 500�2500 Å measured from the upper surface of semiconductor substrate 202. Also, in an aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, the first polysilicon 214 has a thickness of 600�2500 Å. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the disclosed process without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.

US 7226390 B2Abstract
An exercise apparatus has arm driven members and leg driven members which are movably mounted on a frame. In a first mode of operation, the arm driven members are movable relative to the frame and the leg driven members. In a second mode of operation, the arm driven members are linked to the leg driven members and movable together therewith relative to the frame. In a third mode of operation, the arm driven members are locked against movement relative to the frame in a manner which does not interfere with movement of the leg driven members. In a preferred embodiment, the leg driven members are movable in two generally orthogonal directions relative to the frame. The leg driven members may also be interconnected to move in reciprocal fashion in either and/or both of those directions, and/or supported in a manner that provides progressive resistance to downward movement as a function of downward travel.
1. A method of exercise, comprising the steps of:
providing a frame configured to rest on a floor surface;
providing left and right foot platforms;
suspending forward ends of the foot platforms from a forward portion of the frame for independent swinging movement relative to the frame;
suspending opposite, rearward ends of the foot platforms from a rearward portion of the frame for independent swinging movement relative to the frame, with respective left and right springs interconnected between the frame and respective rearward ends to independently bias the respective rearward ends toward a respective, relatively smaller radius paths of travel relative to the frame; and
standing on the foot platforms, moving the foot platforms fore and aft, and moving the rearward ends through respective, relatively greater radius paths of travel against bias forces exerted by respective springs.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of selectively locking the rearward ends against movement through the larger radius paths of travel.
3. A method of exercise, comprising the steps of:
suspending forward ends of the foot platforms from a forward portion of the frame in a manner that accommodates movement of the forward ends through respective arcuate paths relative to the frame;
suspending rearward ends of the foot platforms from a rearward portion of the frame in a manner that accommodates both (a) movement of the rearward ends through respective arcuate paths relative to the frame and (b) downward deviation of the rearward ends from the respective arcuate paths;
providing left and right springs to independently resist the downward deviation of respective rearward ends; and
standing on the foot platforms and moving the foot platforms through variable paths relative to the frame for exercise purposes.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of selectively locking the rearward ends against downward deviation from the respective arcuate paths.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of mounting left and right handles on the forward portion of the frame.
6. The method of claim 5, further comprising the step of linking movement of the handles to movement of respective said forward ends.
7. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of mounting left and right handles on the forward portion of the frame.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of linking movement of the handles to movement of respective said forward ends.
9. A method of exercise, comprising the steps of:
suspending opposite, rearward ends of the foot platforms from a rearward portion of the frame for independent swinging movement relative to the frame, with respective left and right springs independently biasing the respective rearward ends toward a respective, relatively smaller radius paths of travel relative to the frame; and
This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/092,371, filed on Mar. 5, 2002 (pending), which in turn, is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/664,666, filed on Sep. 19, 2000 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,368,252), which in turn is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/167,688, filed on Oct. 7, 1998 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,152,859), which in turn, discloses subject matter entitled to the filing date of U.S. Provisional No. 60/061,389, filed on Oct. 7, 1997.
The present invention relates to exercise methods and apparatus and more particularly, to exercise equipment which offers both upper body and lower body exercise.
Exercise equipment has been designed to facilitate a variety of lower body exercise motions. For example, treadmills allow a person to walk or run in place; stepper machines allow a person to climb in place; bicycle machines allow a person to pedal in place; other machines allow a person to skate and/or stride in place; and still other machines guide a person's feet through elliptical paths of travel. Yet another exercise apparatus, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,290,211 to Stearns, is designed to facilitate several different exercise motions, including free form paths of foot movement and controlled paths of foot movement comparable to walking, running, stepping, cycling, striding, skiing, and/or elliptical motion.
Exercise equipment has also been designed to facilitate upper body exercise together with lower body exercise. For example, many of the foregoing types of exercise equipment have been provided with reciprocating cables or pivoting arm poles to facilitate contemporaneous upper body and lower body exercise. However, room for improvement remains.
Among other things, the present invention may be seen to provide an exercise assembly having a first type of exercise member and a second type of exercise member movably mounted on a frame. In a first mode of operation, each type of exercise member is independently movable relative to the frame. In a second mode of operation, the two types of exercise members are linked to move together relative to the frame. In a third mode of operation, one type of exercise member is locked to the frame to provide a rigid support during movement of the other type of exercise member.
In a preferred embodiment, the first type of exercise member is a handle, and the second type of exercise member is a foot support. The two exercise members are linked, either directly or indirectly, to discrete members which rotate about a common axis relative to the frame. In the absence of any supplemental interconnection, the hand driven member and the foot driven member move independently relative to the frame. The interconnection of a pin between the hand driven member and the foot driven member constrains the two members to rotate together relative to the frame. The interconnection of the pin between the hand driven member and the frame locks the hand driven member against rotation relative to the frame.
In another respect, the present invention may be seen to provide exercise methods and apparatus involving foot movement through a free form path of motion. In general, a foot supporting member is movably mounted on an intermediate member which, in turn, is movably mounted on a frame. As a result, the foot supporting member is free to move in two generally orthogonal directions relative to the frame. The freedom of foot movement notwithstanding, such apparatus may be fitted with tri-modal arm exercise assemblies like those discussed above. Moreover, the foot supporting members may be connected or selectively connected to move in reciprocating fashion relative to one another in either and/or both directions. The foot supporting members may also be supported in such a manner that resistance to downward travel becomes progressively greater as a function of downward movement. Many advantages and improvements of the present invention may become apparent from the more detailed description that follows.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPICTED EMBODIMENT
The present invention facilitates three different modes of exercise involving a first exercise member and a second exercise member, each of which is movably mounted on a frame. In a first mode of operation, the first member is locked to the frame, and the second member is free to move relative to both the frame and the first member. In a second mode of operation, the first member is locked to the second member, and the linked members are free to move together relative to the frame. In a third mode of operation, the first member is not locked to either the frame or the second member, and the first member and the second member are free to move relative to the frame and one another. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is suitable for use on a wide range of exercise equipment.
One embodiment of the present invention is designated as 100 FIGS. 1–2. In general, the exercise assembly 100 includes a frame member 110, two arm driven members 140, and two leg driven members 170. The apparatus 100 is generally symmetrical about a vertical plane extending through center of the frame member 110 (between the two arm driven members 140 and between the two leg driven members 170), the only exceptions being the relative orientation of certain parts on opposite sides of the plane of symmetry. In view of this arrangement, like reference numerals are used to designate both the “right-hand” and “left-hand” parts on the apparatus 100, and in general, when reference is made to one or more parts on only one side of the apparatus, it is to be understood that corresponding part(s) are disposed on the opposite side of the apparatus 100. Moreover, the portions of the apparatus 100 which are intersected by the plane of symmetry exist individually and thus, do not have any “opposite side” counterparts.
As shown in FIG. 1, a shaft 101 is rigidly secured to the frame member 110 and protrudes beyond opposite sides thereof. The leg driven members 170 are movably mounted on opposite ends of the shaft 101 and are rotatable relative thereto about an axis A. The arm driven members 140 are also movably mounted on opposite sides of the shaft 101 and are rotatable relative thereto about the axis A.
In the absence of any additional interconnections, the arm driven members 140 and the leg driven members 170 are free to rotate relative to the frame member 110 and one another. In FIG. 1, pins 107 are shown interconnected between respective arm driven members 140 and leg driven members 170. As a result of this additional interconnection, the arm members 140 are constrained to rotate together with the leg driven members 170 relative to the frame member 110. In other words, the pins 107 may be said to be selectively interconnected between respective arm driven members 140 and leg driven members 170, and/or to provide a means for selectively linking the arm driven members 140 and the leg driven members 170. Moreover, the pins 107 may be seen to cooperate with the leg driven members 170 to provide a means for selectively linking the arm driven members and the foot supporting members 180.
In the alternative, pins 104 may be interconnected between respective arm driven members 140 and the frame member 110, in which case, the arm driven members 140 are locked in place relative to the frame member 110, and the leg driven members 170 are free to rotate relative to both the frame member 110 and the arm driven members 170. In other words, the pins 104 may be seen to provide a means for selectively locking the arm driven members 140 to the frame member 110. In view of the foregoing, the apparatus 100 may be seen to provide the options of stationary arm supports, independent arm and leg exercise movements, and dependent arm and leg exercise movements.
For purposes of clarity, the preferred embodiment 100 is shown and described with reference to discrete sets of pins 104 and 107. However, the holes may all be made of like diameter, and a single, common set of pins may be provided in lieu of separate pins 104 and 107, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the apparatus 100 and/or ensuring that the arm driven members 140 are not simultaneously connected to both the leg driven members 170 and the frame member 110.
A collar 141 is provided on a first portion of each of the arm driven members 140 to facilitate connection to the shaft 101. A hole 144 is formed through a second portion of each of the arm driven members 140 to align with a respective hole 114 in the frame member 110. Each of the holes 144 and 114 is sized and configured to receive one of the pins 104. A hole 147 is formed through a third portion of each of the arm driven members 140 to align with a hole 177 in a respective leg driven member 170. Each of the holes 147 and 177 is sized and configured to receive one of the pins 107. A handle 149, sized and configured to be grasped in a person's hand, is provided on a fourth portion of each of the arm driven members 140. In this embodiment 100, the fourth portion coincides with the upper end of each arm driven member 140; the third portion coincides with the lower end of each arm driven member 140; and the first and second portions are disposed therebetween (with the holes 144 and 147 disposed on opposite sides of the collar 141).
As noted above, a hole 177 is formed through a first portion of each leg driven member 170 to align with a hole 147 in a respective arm driven member 140. A collar 171 is provided on a second portion of each of leg driven member 170 to facilitate connection to the shaft 101. A foot support 180, sized and configured to support a person's foot, is connected to a third portion 172 of each leg driven member 170. In this embodiment 100, the third portion 172 coincides with the lower end of each leg driven member 170; the second portion coincides with the upper end of each leg driven member 170; and the first portions is disposed therebetween. Although the foot supports 180 are shown rotatably connected to respective leg driven members 170, those skilled in the art will recognize that various types of foot supports and foot supporting assemblies may be connected to the leg driven members 170 without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the holes 144 and 114 are disposed an equal distance from the axis A, and that the holes 147 and the holes 177 are also disposed an equal distance from the axis A. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the distance between the holes 144 and the axis A need not be equal to the distance between the holes 147 and the axis A. Furthermore, with reference to the arm driven member 140 on the right side of the apparatus 100, the hole 144 has a longitudinal axis B, and the hole 147 has a longitudinal axis C. Since the portion of the arm driven member 140 extending between the hole 144 and the hole 147 is linear, a reference line may be drawn transversely through all three of the axes A, B, and C.
In the embodiment 100, the frame member 110 is slidably mounted on a post 120 which, in turn, is pivotally mounted on a base 130. The base 130 includes a floor engaging portion 131 and a forward stanchion or upright 132. A lower end 123 of the post 120 is rotatably mounted to the stanchion 132 in a manner known in the art. A pin 129 or other suitable fastener (such as a snap button, for example) is interconnected between the stanchion 132 and the lower end 123 of the post 120 to lock the latter in an upright position relative to the former. Removal of the pin 129 allows the post 120 to be collapsed or pivoted to an orientation approximately parallel to the floor engaging portion 131 of the base 130 for storage or transportation purposes.
The frame member 110 slides along an intermediate portion 125 of the post 120 between an upper distal end 121 and a pair of shoulders 127 projecting outwardly from the post 120 proximate the lower end 123. Any of several types of adjustable locking systems may be used to selectively lock the frame member 110 in one of several positions along the post 120. For example, a spring-loaded pin 136 may extend through the frame member 110 and into engagement with any of a plurality of holes in the post 120. In the alternative, a lead screw or simple motor may be interconnected between the frame member 110 and the post 120 and operable to move the former up and down relative to the latter and hold it in place. In any event, the inclination of the path traveled by the force receiving members 180 is a function of the height of the frame member 110 above the floor surface. In other words, the difficulty of exercise can be increased simply by locking the frame member 110 in a relatively higher position on the post 120.
A second embodiment of the present invention is designated as 200 in FIGS. 3–4. Like the first embodiment 100, this second exercise assembly 200 facilitates three different modes of exercise as between the upper-body and the lower body. The assembly 200 is described with reference to only a single arm driven member 240 and a single leg driven member 270.
A shaft 201 is rigidly connected to a frame member 210 which occupies a fixed position relative to a floor surface or other stable support. A lower end 241 of the arm driven member 240 is cylindrical in shape and has a hole extending through the center thereof to receive an end of the shaft 201. With bearings or washers 202 disposed on opposite sides thereof, the lower end 241 of the arm driven member 240 is placed on an end of the shaft 201. A hole is formed through an upper end 271 of the leg driven member 270 to similarly receive the end of the shaft 201. The upper end 271 of the leg driven member 270 is subsequently placed on the end of the shaft 201 and is retained thereon by a nut 203, for example. As a result, the arm driven member 240 and the leg driven member 270 are rotatable about an axis M relative to the frame member 210.
Circumferentially spaced holes 244 extend through the lower end 241 of the arm driven member 240 and selectively align with a hole 214 through the frame member 210 and a hole 274 through the leg driven member 270. A pin 204 is sized and configured to be inserted through any aligned pair of holes to lock the arm driven member 240 to either the frame member 210 or the leg driven member 270. In FIG. 4, the pin 204 is shown occupying a storage position, inserted through another hole in the frame member 210. The multiple holes 244 allow the arm driven member 240 to be selectively locked in any of several orientations relative to either the frame member 210 or the leg driven member 270.
In a first mode of operation or configuration, the pin 204 is stored as shown in FIG. 4, so that the leg driven member 270 is free to pivot independent of the arm driven member 240, and the arm driven member 240 is free to pivot independent of the leg driven member 270. As a result, a person may grasp the upper end of the arm driven member 240 and selectively or independently move same during lower body exercise. In a second mode of operation or configuration, the pin 204 is inserted through one of the holes 244 and the hole 214, so that the arm driven member 240 is locked to the frame member 210, but the leg driven member 270 remains free to pivot independent of the arm driven member 240. As a result, a person may grasp the stationary arm driven member 240 for support during lower body exercise. In a third mode of operation or configuration, the pin 204 is inserted through the hole 274 and one of the holes 244, so that the arm driven member 240 is locked to the leg driven member 270, and the interconnected members 240 and 270 are free to pivot together relative to the frame member 210. With movement of the leg driven member 270 linked to movement of the arm driven member 240, a person may, during lower body exercise, grasp the arm driven member 240 and choose to simply allow the arm driven member 240 to follow the prescribed path of motion, or help drive the arm driven member 240 through the prescribed path of motion, or provide resistance to movement of the arm driven member 240 through the prescribed path of motion.
A third embodiment of the present invention is designated as 300 in FIGS. 5–6. Like the two previous embodiments 100 and 200, this third exercise assembly 300 facilitates three different modes of exercise as between the upper body and the lower body. Again, the assembly 300 is described with reference to only a single arm driven member 340 and a single leg driven member 370.
The assembly 300 includes a shaft (not shown) which projects outwardly from a frame member 310. An end 341 of the arm driven member 340 is cylindrical in shape and has a hole formed through its center to accommodate the shaft. Similarly, an end 371 of the leg driven member 370 is cylindrical in shape and has a hole formed through its center to accommodate the shaft. The end 341 of the arm driven member 340 is rotatably mounted on the shaft with a friction disc 308 disposed between bearing surfaces on the end 341 and the frame 310. The end 371 of the leg driven member 370 is rotatably mounted on the shaft with a thrust bearing 302 disposed between the end 371 and the end 341. A knob 303 is threaded onto the end of the shaft with another thrust bearing 302 disposed between the knob and the end 371 of the leg driven member 370. The knob 303, the leg driven member 370, and the arm driven member 340 rotate about an axis X relative to the frame member 310.
The knob 303 cooperates with the frame member 310 to compress the thrust bearings 302, the ends 371 and 341, and the friction disc 308 therebetween. Rotation of the knob 303 in a first direction increases compression of the intermediate components, and rotation of the knob 303 in a second, opposite direction decreases compression of the intermediate components. The thrust bearings 302 tend to isolate the leg driven member 370 from the frictional resistance effect of the friction disc 308. In other words, resistance to pivoting of the arm driven member 340 may be provided independent of resistance to pivoting of the leg driven member 370. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other arrangements or resistance devices may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
A pin 304 is sized and configured to be inserted through a hole in the end 341 and an aligned hole in the frame 310 to lock the arm driven member 340 against rotation relative to the frame 310. As shown in FIGS. 5–6, the aligned holes define an axis Y. A cavity or depression 373 is formed in a sector about the end 371 to provide clearance for rotation of the leg driven member 370 relative to the frame 310 and the pin 304. In this configuration or mode of operation, the arm driven member 340 provides a stationary handle during lower body exercise.
The pin 304 may alternatively be inserted through a groove 377 in the end 371 and into another aligned hole 347 in the end 341 to lock the arm driven member 340 to the leg driven member 370 so that they rotate together relative to the frame 410. The aligned hole 347 and groove 377 define an axis Z which is co-planar with the axes X and Y. In this configuration or mode of operation, the arm driven member 340 and the leg driven member 370 are movable in dependent fashion relative to the frame member 310, and the resistance provided by the friction disc 308 acts upon the leg driven member 370, as well as the arm driven member 340. The length of the pin 304 is such that it protrudes further beyond the end 371 when occupying the hole 347.
The pin 304 may alternatively be removed entirely from the arm driven member 340 and inserted into a storage hole 309 on the frame member 310. In this configuration or mode of operation, the arm driven member 340 and the leg driven member are movable in independent fashion relative to the frame member 310, and the resistance provided by the friction disc 308 acts only upon the arm driven member 340.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that various types of lower body exercise or leg motions may be linked to the tri-modal exercise assemblies of the present invention. For example, a foot support may be rigidly connected to an opposite end of the leg driven member; or a pedal may be rotatably connected to an opposite end of the leg driven member; or a foot support may be movably interconnected between an opposite end of the leg driven member and a discrete portion of the frame; or a foot support may be movably interconnected between an opposite end of the leg driven member and one or more additional members which are supported by the frame.
An exercise machine constructed according to the principles of the present invention is designated as 400 in FIG. 7. The leg exercising portion of this machine 400 is similar to that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,290,211 to Stearns, which patent is incorporated herein by reference to same. In general, the machine 400 includes a frame 420, arm driven members 440, and a leg exercise assemblies.
The frame 420 includes a generally I-shaped base designed to rest upon a horizontal floor surface. The base includes a forward transverse support 421, a rearward transverse support 422, and an intermediate portion 425 extending therebetween. An inverted, generally V-shaped upright 427 extends upward from the base proximate the forward end thereof, and a bracket or frame member 410 is mounted on top of the upright 427. Those skilled in the art will recognize that some sort of input and/or output device may also be mounted on the upright 427 to provide an interface between the machine 400 and a person using the machine.
Each leg exercise assembly includes a first leg driven member 470 which is movably connected to the frame member 410 and free to move relative thereto in a first direction within a vertical plane, and a second leg driven member 460 which is movably connected to the first leg driven member 470 and free to move relative thereto in a second, generally orthogonal direction within the same vertical plane. In the embodiment 400 shown in FIG. 7, each first leg driven member 470 is rotatably connected to the frame member 410 and rotatable relative thereto in the direction of the arrows A (within the plane of the drawing sheet of FIG. 7), and each second leg driven member 460 is rotatably connected to the first leg driven member 470 and rotatable relative thereto in the direction of the arrows B (also within the plane of the drawing sheet of FIG. 7).
A foot support 480 is connected to a rearward end of the second leg driven member 460. In this embodiment 400, a parallel set of leg driven members 460′ and 470′ is similarly interconnected between the frame member 410 and the foot support 480 to provide a toggle mechanism which allows the foot support 480 to remain parallel to the floor surface throughout its range of motion. In particular, a lower end of each of the first leg driven members 470 and 470′ is rotatably connected to a bracket 467, and a forward end of each of the second leg driven members 460 and 460′ is rotatably connected to the bracket 467. A resistance mechanism, in the form of a hydraulic cylinder 496, is rotatably interconnected between the second leg driven member 460′ and the frame member 410 to resist downward movement of the former relative to the latter. A resistance mechanism, in the form of a hydraulic cylinder 497, is rotatably interconnected between the first leg driven member 470 and the frame upright 427 to resist rearward movement of the former relative to the latter.
Each arm driven member 440 is movably connected to the frame member 410 and free to move relative thereto in a first direction within a vertical plane. In the embodiment 400 shown in FIG. 7, an intermediate portion 441 of each arm driven member 440 is rotatably connected to the frame member 410 and rotatable relative thereto in the direction of the arrows C (within the plane of the drawing sheet of FIG. 7). In particular, both the arm driven members 440 and the first leg driven members 470 rotate about a common shaft 401 which is rigidly secured to the frame member 410. An upper, distal end 449 of each arm driven member 440 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing sheet of FIG. 7 and provides a handle suitable for grasping by a person standing on the foot supports 480.
A pin 404 is selectively inserted through aligned holes in overlapping portions of the arm driven member 440 and the first leg driven member 470 to lock the two members 440 and 470 together. In this configuration, shown in FIG. 7, forward and rearward movement of either foot support 480 is linked to rearward and forward pivoting of a respective handle 449. In the alternative, the pin 404 may be selectively inserted through aligned holes in the arm driven member 440 and the frame member 410 to lock the arm driven member 440 against rotation relative to the frame member 410. In this configuration, the foot supports 480 are free to move forward and rearward independent of the arm driven members 470. Several holes 414 are provided in the frame member 410, in an arc centered about the shaft 401, to alternatively align with the holes 444 through the arm driven members 440 and thereby facilitate adjustment of the handles 449 relative to a user standing on the foot supports 480. In a third configuration, the pin 404 may be removed from the arm driven member 440 altogether, leaving the arm driven member 440 and the leg driven member 470 free to move relative to one another and the frame member 410. Those skilled in the art will recognize that any of the features associated with any of the embodiments 100, 200, or 300 could be provided and/or substituted for those shown on the machine 400.
Another exercise machine constructed according to the principles of the present invention is designated as 500 in FIG. 8. In general, the machine 500 includes a frame 520, arm exercise members 540, and leg exercise members 580.
The frame 520 includes a generally I-shaped base designed to rest upon a horizontal floor surface. The base includes a forward transverse support 521, a rearward transverse support 522, and an intermediate portion 523 extending therebetween. A first or forward upright 525 extends upward from the base proximate the forward end thereof, and a second or rearward upright 526 extends upward from the base proximate the rearward end thereof. An assembly 529 is mounted on an upper end of the upright 525 to provide an interface between the machine 500 and a person using the machine. A forward support member 510 is mounted on the forward upright 525 and extends generally perpendicular relative thereto. A rearward support member 511 is mounted on the rearward upright 526 and extends generally perpendicular relative thereto and generally parallel to the forward support member 510.
Each arm exercise member 540 is movably connected to a respective end of the support member 510 and movable relative thereto in a first direction within a vertical plane. In the embodiment 500 shown in FIG. 8, a lower end of each arm exercise member 540 is rotatably connected to the support member 510. An optional friction disc is disposed between the lower end and the support member 510 to provide resistance to rotation. An opposite, upper end 549 is sized and configured for grasping.
Each leg exercise member 580 has a forward end which is rotatably connected to a lower end of a link or leg driven member 570. An opposite, upper end of each leg driven member 570 is rotatably connected to a respective end of the support member 510. In particular, both the leg driven members 570 and the arm driven members 540 rotate about a common shaft or axis which is rigidly secured to the support member 510. As suggested by the reference numerals 300′, the arm driven members 540 may be selectively pinned to the frame 520; or the arm driven members 540 may be selectively pinned to the leg driven members 570; or the arm driven members 540 may remain free to move relative to both the frame 520 and the leg driven members 570.
Each leg exercise member or foot support 580 has an opposite, rearward end which is movably connected to a respective end of a cable 558. The cable 558 extends upward from the rearward end of the left foot support 580 to the left end of the support member 511, then through the support member 511 to the right end thereof, and then downward to the rearward end of the right foot support 580. A guide assembly, including a pulley 518 and a sleeve 519, is mounted to each end of the support member 511 to route the cable 558 and facilitate movement thereof relative to the support member 511. As a result of this arrangement, the rearward ends of the foot supports 580 are linked to move up and down in reciprocal fashion (as suggested by the arrow V). As shown in FIG. 9, resistance to “climbing-type” motion may be provided by placing a friction brake 552 in series with the cable 558, for example.
The foot supports 580 are also movable back and forth relative to the frame 520 (as suggested by the arrows H). Resistance to this “striding-type” motion may be provided by interconnecting the leg driven members 570 and the arm driven members 540 and thereby subjecting the former to the friction discs acting upon the latter. In the absence of a tri-modal exercise assembly 300′, resistance may be provided simply by interconnecting a friction brake directly between the frame 520 and each of the leg driven members 570. On an alternative embodiment along these lines, arm driven members may simply be provided in the form of extensions of the leg driven members, and/or stationary handles may be provided on the support member.
An exercise machine similar in many respects to the previous embodiment 500 is designated as 600 in FIG. 10. In general, the machine 600 includes a frame 620, arm exercise members 540, and leg exercise members 580.
The frame 620 includes a generally I-shaped base which is identical to that on the previous embodiment 500. A first or forward upright 625 extends upward from the base proximate the forward end 521 thereof, and a second or rearward upright 626 extends upward from the base proximate the rearward end 522 thereof.
A post 615 is connected to the forward upright 625 and selectively movable relative thereto in telescoping fashion. A pin 617 is inserted through a hole in the upright 625 selectively aligns with any of several holes 616 in the post 615 to secure the latter in place relative to the former. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other adjustment mechanisms, such as a lead screw, could be substituted for the pin arrangement shown. An assembly 529 is mounted on an upper end of the post 615 to provide an interface between the machine 600 and a person using the machine.
A forward support member 510 is mounted on the post 615 and extends generally perpendicular relative thereto. Those skilled in the art will recognize that elevation adjustment of the support member 510 may alternatively be provided by movably mounting the support member 510 on the upright 525 of the previous embodiment 500.
A trunnion 627 is mounted on an upper end of the upright 626, and a rearward support member 611 is rotatably mounted on the trunnion 627. The support member 611 is rotatably about an axis 628 which extends parallel to the intermediate portion 523 of the base. When the machine 600 is not in use, the support member 611 extends generally perpendicular relative to the upright 626 and generally parallel to the forward support member 510.
As on the previous embodiment 500, each arm exercise member 540 has a lower end which is rotatably connected to a respective end of the support member 510, and an opposite, upper end 549 which is sized and configured for grasping. Each leg driven member has an upper end which is likewise rotatably connected to a respective end of the support member 510. The same tri-modal assembly 300′ allows the arm driven members 540 to be selectively pinned to the support member 510; to be selectively pinned to the leg driven members 570; or to remain free to move relative to both the support member 510 and the leg driven members 570.
An opposite, lower end of each leg driven member 570 is rotatably connected to a forward end of a respective leg exercise member or foot support 580. An opposite, rearward end of each foot support 580 is movably connected to a lower end of a respective cable 658. Each cable 658 extends upward and is secured to a respective end of the support member 611. As a result of this arrangement, the rearward ends of the foot supports 580 are linked to move up and down in reciprocal fashion (as suggested by the arrows V′). The foot supports 580 are also movable back and forth relative to the frame 620 (as suggested by the arrows H).
FIG. 11 shows an optional feature suitable for use on the embodiment 600. In particular, a flange 606 may be rigidly secured to the support member 611′, and a hole 609 formed through the flange 606. The hole 609 aligns with a hole 629 through the trunnion 627 when the support member 611′ is parallel to the floor surface. A detent pin may be inserted through the aligned holes to selectively lock the support member 611′ against pivoting and thereby limiting movement of the foot supports 580 to a “striding-type” motion.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the foot supports 580 can alternatively be limited to a “climbing-type” motion by interconnecting the leg driven members 570 to the arm driven members 540 and increasing resistance provided by the assemblies 300′ to maximum. In other words, this embodiment 600 provides an exercise apparatus which allows a user to choose between a constrained “striding-type” motion, a constrained “climbing-type” motion, a free-form motion which may combine a “striding-type” motion and a “climbing-type” motion in any number of ways.
Another exercise machine similar in many respects to the embodiment 500 is designated as 700 in FIG. 12. In general, the machine 700 includes a frame 720, arm exercise members 540, and leg exercise members 580.
The forward portion of the machine 700 (forward of a plane which intersects the intermediate portion 523 of the base and extends perpendicular relative thereto) is identical to that on the embodiment 500. On the rearward portion of the machine 700, an upright 726 extends upward from the base proximate the rearward end 522 thereof, and a trunnion 727 is mounted on an upper end of the upright 626. Left and right rearward support members 711 are mounted on the trunnion 727 and rotate relative thereto about an axis or shaft which extends parallel to the intermediate portion 523 of the base. Resistance cylinders 751 are interconnected between the upright 726 and respective support members 711 to resist pivoting of the latter relative to the former.
A rearward end of each foot support 580 is movably connected to a lower end of a respective cable 658. Each cable 658 extends upward and is secured to an outer end of a respective support member 711. In the absence of any further interconnections, such as U-shaped pin 712, the supports 711 are free to rotate relative to one another, as well as the upright 726. As a result, the rearward ends of the foot supports 580 are free to move up and down independent of one another. In this mode of operation, a spring or other return mechanism, which may be disposed within the cylinders 751, urges a respective foot support 580 upward in the absence of a user applied force.
Holes 713 extend through each support 711 on each side of the trunnion axis and align with one another to receive the U-shaped pin 712. In this mode of operation, the supports 711 are linked together, and the rearward ends of the foot supports 580 are constrained to move up and down in reciprocal fashion (as suggested by the arrows V″) . The foot supports 580 are also movable back and forth relative to the frame 620 (as suggested by the arrows H).
Another exercise machine constructed according to the principles of the present invention is designated as 800 in FIG. 13. In general, the machine 800 includes a frame 820, arm driven members 840, and leg driven members 870.
The frame 820 includes rearward and forward U-shaped members which cooperate to maintain the apparatus 800 in an upright position relative to a horizontal floor surface 99. The rearward frame member includes a pair of posts 821 which extend perpendicularly away from opposite ends of a transverse support 822. The forward frame member includes a pair of posts 823 which extends perpendicularly away from opposite sides of a transverse support (not shown). Feet 824 are provided on the lower distal ends of the posts 823 to engage the floor surface 99 together with the rearward transverse support 822. The upper distal ends of the posts 823 are rotatably mounted to the rearward posts 821, proximate the upper ends of the latter. As a result, the posts 821 and 823 may be rotated together to facilitate storage and/or transportation of the apparatus 800.
Each of two rotating frame members 810 is generally L-shaped and has a relatively forward end or segment, a relatively rearward end or segment, and an intermediate portion or juncture disposed therebetween. The intermediate portion of each frame member 810 is rotatably mounted to a respective rearward post 821 at the upper distal end thereof. A lower end of each arm driven member 840 is rotatably connected to the forward end of a respective frame member 840. An opposite, upper end of each arm driven member 840 is sized and configured for grasping by a user 90.
An upper end of each leg driven member 870 is also rotatably connected to the forward end of a respective frame member 810 and shares a common pivot axis with a respective arm driven member 840. As suggested by the reference numeral 200′, the rotating ends of the arm driven members 840 and the leg driven members 870 are similar to those shown in FIGS. 3–4. In other words, each arm driven member 840 may be pinned in any of several orientations relative to the frame 820, or may be pinned in any of several orientations relative to a respective leg driven member 870, or may remain free to pivot relative to both.
An opposite, lower end of each leg driven member 870 is joined to a respective foot platform or support 880 which is sized and configured to support a person's foot. Since each foot support 880 is pivotal about the axis 812, and the axis 812 is pivotal about the axis 811, each foot support 880 is movable through any sort of path within a respective vertical plane, subject to outer limits determined by the distance between the axes 811 and 812 and the distance between the axis 812 and the foot supports 880. One such path is designated as P in FIG. 13.
A constant force resistance mechanism 890 is interconnected between each rotating frame member 810 and a respective stationary frame member 821 to resist pivoting of the former relative to the latter. In particular, a rod portion 891 of the resistance mechanism 890 is rotatably connected to the rearward end of each rotating frame member 810, and a cylinder portion 892 of the resistance mechanism 890 is rotatably connected to a respective stationary frame member 821, relatively nearer the lower end thereof. A significant advantage of this particular arrangement is that the foot supports 880 are biased against “bottoming out” or moving downward to a lowermost position. In particular, as the rotating frame member 810 shown in FIG. 13 rotates counter-clockwise, the vertical component of user applied force (or weight) acts upon a relatively shorter moment arm (relative to the axis 811), and the resistance force vector acts upon a relatively greater moment arm (relative to the axis 811). In other words, the apparatus 800 may be said to provide progressively increasing resistance to downward movement of the foot supports 880.
FIGS. 14–20 show additional examples of machines which provide progressively increasing resistance to downward movement of foot supports. Only one side of each machine is shown with the understanding that each moving part has a counterpart on the opposite side of the frame. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that any of these machines may be fitted with any of the tri-modal exercise assemblies shown in FIGS. 1–6 (simply by adding an arm driven member which shares a pivot axis with the leg driven member, for example), and further, that these machines, as well as the machines described above, do not require any such tri-modal exercise assembly in order to be useful and suitable for exercise.
As shown in FIG. 14, an apparatus 800′ has a frame 820′ which includes a base and an upright member 821′ extending up from the base. A rotating frame member 810′ has a relatively rearward end, a relatively forward end, and an intermediate portion disposed therebetween. The rearward end is rotatably connected to the upper end of the upright member 821′. A constant force resistance mechanism 890 is rotatably interconnected between the forward end of the rotating frame member 810′ and an intermediate portion of the upright member 821′. The intermediate portion of the rotating frame member 810′ is rotatably connected to an upper end of a leg driven member 870′. A foot support 880′ is connected to a lower end of the leg driven member 870′.
As shown in FIG. 15, an apparatus 900 has a frame 920 which includes a base and an upright member 921 extending up from the base. An upper end of a leg driven member 970 is rotatably connected to an upper end of the upright member 921. A foot support 980 is slidably mounted on the leg driven member 970 proximate its lower end. A constant force resistance mechanism 990 is rotatably interconnected between a bracket on the foot support 980 and a brace 979 on the leg driven member 970. The force resistance mechanism 990 extends generally horizontal when the leg driven member 970 extends generally vertical.
As shown in FIG. 16, an apparatus 1000 has a frame 1020 which includes a base and an upright member 1021 extending up from the base. An upper end of a leg driven member 1070 is rotatably connected to an upper end of the upright member 1021. A lower end of the leg driven member 1070 is rotatably connected to a forward end of a foot support 1080. A constant force resistance mechanism 1090 is rotatably interconnected between an intermediate portion of the foot support 1080 and an intermediate portion of the leg driven member 1070.
As shown in FIG. 17, an apparatus 1000′ has a frame 1020′ which includes a base and an upright member 1021′ extending up from the base. An upper end of a leg driven member 1070′ is rotatably connected to an upper end of the upright member 1021′. A lower end of the leg driven member 1070′ is rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of a foot support 1080′. A constant force resistance mechanism 1090′ is rotatably interconnected between a forward end of the foot support 1080′ and an intermediate portion of the leg driven member 1070′. A rearward portion of the foot support 1080 is sized and configured to support a person's foot in cantilevered fashion.
As shown in FIG. 18, an apparatus 1100 has a frame 1120 which includes a base and an upright member 1121 extending up from the base. A bracket 1110 is slidably mounted on an upper, vertical portion of the upright 1121. An upper end of a leg driven member 1170 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1110. A foot support 1180 is rigidly secured to a lower end of the leg driven member 1170. A constant force resistance mechanism 1190 is rotatably interconnected between the bracket 1110 and an a brace 1179 rigidly secured to the upright 1121. The resistance mechanism 1190 extends horizontally when the bracket 1110 occupies an uppermost position along the upright 1121.
As shown in FIG. 19, an apparatus 1100′ has a frame 1120′ which includes a base and an upright member 1121′ extending up from the base. A bracket 1110′ is slidably mounted on an upper, vertical portion of the upright 1121′. An upper end of a leg driven member 1170′ is rotatably connected to the bracket 1110′. A foot support 1180′ is rigidly secured to a lower end of the leg driven member 1170′. A progressive force resistance mechanism 1199, which is known in the art, is rotatably interconnected between the bracket 1110′ and an a brace 1179′ rigidly secured to the upright 1121′. The resistance mechanism 1199 remains in a vertical orientation regardless of the position of the bracket 1110′ relative to the upright 1121.
As shown in FIG. 20, an apparatus 1200 has a frame 1220 which includes a base and an upright member 1221 extending up from the base. An upper end of a leg driven member 1270 is rotatably connected to an upper end of the upright 1221. A progressive force resistance mechanism 1299 is rigidly interconnected between a lower end of the leg driven member and a foot support 1280. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the resistance mechanism 1299 could perform the function of the leg driven member 1270, as well. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that neither of the two foregoing embodiments requires a progressive force resistance mechanism in order to function satisfactorily as an exercise apparatus.
As shown in FIG. 21, an exercise apparatus 1300 includes a frame 1320 having a base 1325 designed to rest upon a floor surface. A forward stanchion 1321 extends up from a forward portion of the base 1325, and an intermediate stanchion 1322 extending up from an intermediate portion of the base 1325. Not shown is a rearward portion of the base 1325, where a roller, crank, or other suitable assembly supports a rearward portion of a force receiving member or foot support 1380 in a manner known in the art.
A roller 1389 is rotatably mounted on a forward end of the force receiving member 1380. The roller 1389 rolls or bears against a ramp 1319 having a first end rotatably connected to the intermediate stanchion 1322, and a second, opposite end movably connected to a bracket 1309. A slot 1313 is provided in the ramp 1319 to accommodate angular adjustment of the ramp 1319 relative to the bracket 1309 and the floor surface 99. In particular, the trunnion 1309 is slidably mounted on the forward stanchion 1321, and a pin 1301 may be selectively inserted through aligned holes in the bracket 1309 and the stanchion 1321 to secured the bracket 1309 in any of several positions above the floor surface 99. As the bracket 1309 slides downward, the fastener interconnecting the bracket 1309 and the ramp 1319 moves downward, as well, and the ramp 1319 rotates counter-clockwise.
A lower portion of a handle member 1340 is movably connected to the forward end of the force receiving member 1380, adjacent the roller 1389. In particular, a common shaft extends through the force receiving member 1380, the roller 1389, and a slot 1348 provided in the lower portion of the handle member 1340. An opposite, upper end 1349 of the handle member 1340 is sized and configured for grasping by a person standing on the force receiving member 1380. An intermediate portion of the handle member 1340 is rotatably connected to a bracket 1304 which, in turn, is slidably mounted on the forward stanchion 1321 above the bracket 1309. A pin 1302 may be selectively inserted through aligned holes in the bracket 1304 and the stanchion 1321 to secure the bracket 1304 in any of several positions above the floor surface 99. The slot 1348 in the handle member 1340 accommodates height adjustments and allows the handle member 1340 to pivot about its connection with the bracket 1304 while the roller 1389 moves through a linear path of motion. As a result of this arrangement, the height of the handle member 1340 can be adjusted without affecting the path of the foot support 1380, and/or the path of the foot support 1380 can be adjusted without affecting the height of the handle member 1340, even though the two force receiving members are linked to one another. Some alternative elevation adjustment means are described below with reference to FIGS. 25–26.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the handle member 1340 may be replaced by or separated into an arm driven member and a leg driven member which would share the same pivot axis as that currently defined by the handle member 1340. Subsequent to this simple modification, the machine 1300 could be equipped with any of the tri-modal exercise assemblies of FIGS. 1–6.
FIG. 22 shows an exercise apparatus 1400 provided with a tri-modal exercise assembly 200′ similar to that shown in FIGS. 3–4. The apparatus 1400 generally includes a frame 1420, arm exercise members 1440, and leg exercise members 1480. The assembly 200′ allows the arm exercise members 1440 to be pinned in any of several orientations relative to the frame 1420, or to be pinned in any of several orientations relative to the leg exercise members 1480, or to remain free to move independent of both the frame 1420 and the leg exercise members 1480.
The frame 1420 includes a base portion designed to rest upon a floor surface 99 and an upright 1421 extending upward from the base portion proximate the front end thereof. A frame member or support 1410 is mounted to an upper end of the upright 1421 to support the tri-modal assembly 200′. Each arm exercise member or arm driven member 1440 has a lower end which is rotatably connected to the frame member 1410, and an opposite, upper end which is sized and configured for grasping.
Each of two rails 1430 has a front end which is pivotally mounted to the frame 1420 at a first elevation above the floor surface 99. The rails 1430 pivot about an axis 1481 relative to the frame 1420. The rearward portion of each rail 1430 may be supported by a force resistance cylinder, a roller, a crank, or any other suitable part. A foot support or skate 1480 is movably mounted on an intermediate portion of each rail 1430. The foot supports 1480 are interconnected by a cable 1488 which extends about a pulley 1408 rotatably mounted on the upright 1421. Springs 1480 are placed in series with the cable 1488 to keep the cable 1488 taut while also allowing sufficient freedom of movement during operation.
Each of two intermediate links 1478 is rotatably interconnected between a respective foot support 1480 and a respective leg driven member 1470. An opposite end of each of the leg driven members 1470 is rotatably connected to the frame member 1410. The leg driven members 1470 pivot about the same axis 1441 as the arm driven members 1440, primarily in conjunction with movement of the foot supports 1480 relative to the rails 1430.
FIG. 23 shows an exercise apparatus 1500 which is similar in many respects to the previous embodiment 1400, as suggested by the common reference numerals. Among other things, the apparatus 1500 is likewise provided with a tri-modal exercise assembly 200′ similar to that shown in FIGS. 3–4. Indeed, the only significant distinction is that the intermediate links 1578 (only one of which is shown) are rotatably interconnected between respective portions of the cable 1588 and respective leg driven members 1570 (only one of which is shown). As a result, the arm driven members 1540 may be constrained to pivot back and forth as the juncture points on the cable 1548 move back and forth. As on previous embodiments, the upper ends 1549 of the arm driven members 1540 are sized and configured for grasping by a person standing on the foot supports 1480.
FIG. 24 shows an exercise apparatus 1600 which is similar in many respects to the previous embodiment 1500, as suggested by the common reference numerals. Among other things, the apparatus 1600 is likewise provided with a tri-modal exercise assembly 200′ similar to that shown in FIGS. 3–4. Indeed, the only significant distinction is that a lower, distal portion of each leg driven member 1670 (only one of which is shown) extends into a ring 1678 which, in turn, is fixedly secured to the cord 1688. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the cord 1688 may be a single cord or three separate pieces of cord extending from one skate 1480 to the other. In any event, the arm driven members 1540 may be constrained to pivot back and forth as the rings 1678 move back and forth.
With any of the three foregoing embodiments 1400, 1500, or 1600, the orientation of the path traveled by the force supporting members 1480 may be adjusted by raising or lowering the axis 1481 relative to the floor surface 99. One such mechanism for doing so is a telescoping upright which is maintained at select heights by a detent pin arrangement (along the lines of those shown in FIGS. 10 and 21).
Another suitable elevation adjustment mechanism is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 25, wherein a frame 1420′ includes a sleeve 1415 which is movable along an upwardly extending stanchion 1425. The rails 1430′ (only one of which is shown) are rotatably mounted to the sleeve 1415 to define axis 1481′. A knob 1402 is rigidly secured to a lead screw which extends through the sleeve 1415 and threads into the stanchion 130′. The knob 1402 and the sleeve 1415 are interconnected in such a manner that the knob 1402 rotates relative to the sleeve 1415, but they travel up and down together relative to the stanchion 1425 (as indicated by the arrows).
Yet another suitable elevation adjustment mechanism is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 26, wherein a frame 1420′ again includes a sleeve 131′ which is movable along an upwardly extending stanchion 1425. The rails 1430′ (only one of which is shown) are rotatably mounted to the sleeve 1415 to define the axis 1481′. An actuator 1404, such as a motor or a hydraulic drive, is rigidly secured to the sleeve 1415 and connected to a shaft which extends through the sleeve 1415 and into the stanchion 1425. The actuator 1404 selectively moves the shaft relative to the sleeve 1415, causing the actuator 1404 and the sleeve 1415 to travel up and down together relative to the stanchion 1425 (as indicated by the arrows). The actuator 1404 may operate in response to signals from a person and/or a computer controller.
As shown in FIG. 27, an exercise machine 1700 includes a frame 1720, an arm driven member 1740 movably connected to the frame 1720, and a leg exercise member 1780 movably connected to the frame 1720. Only one side of the machine 1700 is shown for ease of illustration, with the understanding that the machine 1700 is symmetrical relative to a vertical plane extending lengthwise through the frame 1720.
The frame 1720 includes a base which extends from a front end 1721 to a rear end 1722 and is designed to rest upon a horizontal floor surface 99. The rear end 1722 provides a ramp which extends between the floor surface 99 and a bearing surface 1728 on the frame 1720. An inverted V-shaped member or stanchion 1727 extends upward from the base proximate the front end 1721.
An upper end 1771 of a first leg driven member 1770 is rotatably connected to an upper end of the stanchion 1727. An opposite, lower end 1772 of the first leg driven member 1770 is rotatably connected to a forward end 1761 of a second leg driven member 1760. Both a foot support (or leg exercise member) 1780 and a roller 1788 are connected to an opposite, rearward end 1762 of the second leg driven member 1760. The foot support 1780 is secured in one of two positions relative to the second leg driven member 1760 by means of a removable fastener, such as a detent pin. The pin inserts through a hole 1786 in the foot support 1780 and either of two holes 1768 in the second leg driven member 1760. In the first position, shown in FIG. 27, the foot support 1780 lies substantially flat against the second leg driven member 1760, and in the second position, not shown, the rear end 1782 of the foot support 1780 bears against the top of the second leg driven member 1760 and maintains the foot support 1780 at an angle of approximately thirty degrees relative to the second leg driven member 1760. The roller 1788 is rotatably mounted on the second leg driven member 1760 and projects beneath the second leg driven member 1760.
A force resistance member 1796 of a type known in the art is rotatably interconnected between an intermediate portion 1769 of the second leg driven member 1760 and the upper end of the stanchion 1727. A reciprocal motion cable 1733 extends from another intermediate portion of the second leg driven member 1760 upward and about a pulley 1738 and then downward to the second leg driven member on the opposite side of the machine 1700.
A slotted member 1767 is secured to the second leg driven member 1760 proximate the forward end 1761 thereof. A cam follower 1776 is connected to a lower end of the arm driven member 1740 and protrudes into the slot formed in the slotted member 1767. An intermediate portion of the arm driven member 1740 is rotatably connected to the first leg driven member 1770, thereby defining a pivot point 1747. An upper end 1749 of the arm driven member 1740 is sized and configured for grasping by a person standing on the foot support 1780. As a result of this arrangement, the handle end 1749 is linked to movement of the first leg driven member 1770 relative to the frame 1720 and to movement of the second leg driven member 1760 relative to the first leg driven member 1770.
A bracket 1748 is rigidly secured to an intermediate portion of the first leg driven member 1770. The bracket 1748 is rigidly secured to a reciprocal motion cable 1777 which is formed into a continuous loop and routed about pulleys 1778. The force resistance member 1796 is broken away in FIG. 27 to show one of the pulleys 1778 in its entirety.
As described above, the machine 1700 accommodates upward and downward motion of the foot support 1780, as well as forward and backward motion of the foot support 1780. Any motion of one foot support 1780 results in an opposite motion of its counterpart. In other words, the foot supports 1780 are free to move in reciprocating fashion through free form paths within parallel vertical planes. Resistance to downward movement of the foot supports 1780 is provided by the force resistance mechanism 1796. Resistance to rearward movement of the foot supports 1780 may be provided by a one-way frictional brake or other force resistance mechanism 1979 interconnected between the upper end 1771 of the first leg driven member 1770 and the upper end of the stanchion 1727. An assembly 1707 may also be mounted on the upper end of the stanchion 1727 to provide an interface between the machine 1700 and a user.
From the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will recognize that the machine 1700 is suitable for performing a variety of exercise motions. For example, generally back and forth movement of the foot supports 1780 is comparable to cross-country skiing, and generally up and down movement of the foot supports 1780 is comparable to stair climbing. In this regard, the present invention also provides optional features to selectively constrain movement to a particular type of motion. For example, if a timing belt or chain is substituted for the cable 1777, then a pin or other fastener 1779 may be interconnected between either pulley 1778 and its supporting bracket to prevent rotation of the former relative to the latter and thereby limit movement of the foot supports 1780 to generally back and forth movement (about the rotational axis defined by the first leg driven member 1770 and the stanchion 1727). Moreover, a one-way clutch and flywheel assembly could be substituted for the pulley 1778. Another example of how to accomplish this motion selection feature is described with reference to FIG. 27. A portion of the arm driven member 1740 is broken away to show that a hole 1775 may be provided through each of the first leg driven members 1770 in order to selectively receive a rod which would prevent relative rotation therebetween.
As suggested by the common reference numerals, an exercise machine 1700′ similar to the previous embodiment 1700 is shown in FIG. 28. An upper end 1771′ of a first leg driven member 1770′ is rotatably connected to an upper end of a stanchion 1727′, and a lower end 1772′ of the first leg driven member 1770′ is rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of a second leg driven member 1760′ proximate its forward end. A foot support 1780 is connected to an opposite, rearward end of the second leg driven member 1760′.
A first force resistance mechanism 1796 is interconnected between an intermediate portion of the second leg driven member 1760′ and the upper end of the stanchion 1727′ to resist downward movement of the forme relative to the latter. A second force resistance mechanism 1797 is interconnected between the upper end 1771′ of the first leg driven member 1770′ and the upper end of the stanchion 1727′ to resist rearward movement of the former relative to the latter.
A first cable 1733 is interconnected between each of the second leg driven members 1760′ in such a manner that one moves up as the other moves down relative to the frame 1720′. A second cable 1777 is interconnected between each of the first leg driven members 1770′ in such a manner that one moves forward as the other moves rearward relative to the frame 1720′.
A significant distinction between the machine 1700′ and the previous embodiment 1700 is that an intermediate portion of the arm driven member 1740′ is rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of the stanchion 1727′, thereby defining a pivot axis 1724. A slot 1746 is provided along an intermediate portion of the arm driven member 1740′ and may be rotated into alignment with either a hole 1726 in the stanchion 1727′ or a hole 1776′ in the first leg driven member 1770′. A pin or other fastener may be inserted through the aligned slot 1746 and the hole 1726 in order to lock the arm driven member 1740′ relative to the frame 1720′. The pin may alternatively be inserted through the aligned slot 1746 and the hole 1776′ in order to link the arm driven member 1740′ and the first leg driven member 1770′. Also, a slot 1745 is provided along the lower end of the arm driven member 1740′ and may be rotated into alignment with a hole 1765 in the forward end of the second leg driven member 1760′. The pin may alternatively be inserted through the aligned slot 1745 and the hole 1765 in order to link the arm driven member 1740′ and the second leg driven member 1760′.
This embodiment 1700′ may also be seen to provide a tri-modal exercise assembly. In particular, the arm driven member 1740′ may be locked against movement relative to the frame 1720′, or may be linked to pivot forward about pivot axis 1724 as the first leg driven member 1770′ pivots rearward relative to the frame 1720′, or may be linked to pivot forward about pivot axis 1724 as the second leg driven member 1760′ pivots downward relative to the frame 1720′.
Yet another embodiment of the present invention is designated as 1800 in FIG. 29. The machine 1800 includes right and left leg driven members or vertical links 1870 having collars 1841 which are rotatably connected to a first horizontally extending shaft on a frame (not shown). Upper ends 1849 of the vertical links 1870 are sized and configured for grasping, and lower ends of the vertical links 1870 are rotatably connected to forward ends of respective left and right leg driven members or horizontal links 1860, thereby defining hinges or joints 1867. Left and right foot platforms or supports 1880 are secured to opposite, rearward ends of respective horizontal links 1860.
A first rocker 1831 is rotatably connected to a second horizontally extending shaft on the frame (designated as 1803 in FIG. 30), which extends perpendicular to the first horizontally extending shaft. Left and right flexible connectors 1827 are interconnected between respective ends of the first rocker 1831 and respective flanges 1873 on the left and right vertical links 1870. The arrangement is such that as the right vertical link 1870 pivots rearward relative to the frame, the right connector 1837 causes the first rocker 1831 to pivot counter-clockwise (as shown in FIG. 30), and the left connector 1837 causes the left vertical link 1870 to pivot forward relative to the frame. In other words, the first rocker 1831 provides a means for linking the vertical links 1870 to move in reciprocal fashion.
A second rocker 1832 is rotatably connected to the same shaft 1803. Left and right flexible connectors 1883 are interconnected between respective ends of the second rocker 1832 and respective intermediate portions of the left and right horizontal links 1860. Intermediate portions of the flexible connectors 1883 are routed about pulleys 1838 which are rotatably connected to the frame. The arrangement is such that as the right horizontal link 1860 pivots downward relative to the frame, the right connector 1883 causes the second rocker 1832 to pivot counter-clockwise, and the left connector 1883 causes the left horizontal link 1870 to pivot upward relative to the frame. In other words, the second rocker 1832 provides a means for linking the horizontal links 1860 to move in reciprocal fashion.
Resistance to exercise movement may be provided in any number of ways, including those shown in other embodiments described above. For example, a friction brake may be disposed between either rocker 1831 or 1832 and the frame. As shown in FIG. 30, a plate 1828 may be rigidly secured to the shaft 1803, with the rockers 1831 and 1832 disposed on opposite sides of the plate 1828. A resistance assembly 1898 may be interconnected between the plate 1828 and either or both of the rockers 1831 and 1832.
The plate 1828 may also be used to provide a means for limiting movement of the foot supports 1880 to a particular path. For example, a hole 1802 may be formed through the second rocker 1832 so as to align with a hole in the plate 1828 when the foot supports 1880 occupy like elevations relative to a support surface. A pin or other fastener may be inserted through the aligned holes to prevent pivoting of the second rocker 1832 relative to the frame and thereby limit movement of the foot supports 1880 to a path of motion centered about the first horizontally extending shaft on the frame. Similar holes may be formed through the first rocker 1831 and the plate 1828 to selectively limit movement of the foot supports 1880 to a path of motion centered about the joints 1867.
Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the machine 1800 may be readily modified to function in accordance with any of the tri-modal exercise assemblies shown in FIGS. 1–6. For example, one could simply provide the handle portions or arm driven members apart from the vertical links 1870 and rotatably mount the discrete handle portions adjacent the vertical links 1870. Overlapping ends of the rotating members may then be selectively interconnected by a pin or other connector.
Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the components of the foregoing embodiments are sized and configured to facilitate the depicted interconnections in a relatively efficient manner, and that for ease of reference in both this detailed description and the claims set forth below, the components may sometimes be described with reference to “ends” being connected to other parts. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is not limited to links which terminate immediately beyond their points of connection with or extend directly between other parts. In other words, the term “end” should be interpreted broadly, in a manner that could include “rearward portion”, for example; and in a manner wherein “rear end” could simply mean “behind an intermediate portion”, for example. Moreover, the links need not extend directly between their points of connection with other parts.
Although several embodiments are described herein, those skilled in the art will undoubtedly recognize additional embodiments, modifications, and/or applications which differ from those described herein yet nonetheless fall within the scope of the present invention. Recognizing that the foregoing description sets forth only some of the numerous possible modifications and variations, the scope of the present invention is to be limited only to the extent of the claims which follow.
