Purdue police: Man photographed women in shower
When the shower comes on and the towel comes off, you expect total privacy.
"She noticed someone holding a device over the shower that looked like it could have been a smart phone," says Purdue spokeswoman Jeanne Norberg.
Two female students told Eyewitness News they found it disturbing. "I was quite worried. Dangerous for me and my friends."
As Purdue police investigated that incident Sunday afternoon at Hawkins Hall - a coed dorm- something strange happened.
"The police were talking to a girl who had also been in the restroom and she said something like this actually happened to her and it happened the previous Wednesday," Norberg said.
Both women said the video voyeur was an Asian man, in one case with yellow dyed hair. In the second case, they described the suspect as having dark hair.
Around the country, voyeurism strikes in stores, locker rooms and public restrooms. Now it's being reported in semi-private shower areas.
Purdue officials say the second victim did the right thing - reporting it immediately to police.
"We don't know if they lived in the residence hall, Norberg said. "It is co-ed. We don't know if they live there or got in some other way."
Campus police sent a warning to students.
"I don't think you need special access to get access to the building," student Dee Dee Hu said. It's really terrible, you know the door is not closed to the bathroom so everybody can come in to the bathroom. Lost security."
She and others said they'd like to see key cards required to access shower areas.
"I guess the only way you could stop people would be to lock every door between here and there, but that would seem like a bit much," student Caitlin Barnett said
If you have information about the incidents, call Purdue police.
Two female students at Purdue reported male intruders in women's bathrooms in the past week.
A woman reported an Asian male with yellow-dyed hair and burgundy pants was leaving a women's bathroom in Hawkins Residence Hall around 10:30 a.m. last Wednesday.
Four days later, another male, who also appeared to be Asian, waved what appeared to be a smartphone over the top of a shower stall where a female student was bathing. That man had black hair and wore a dark blue sweatshirt with a white design on the back.

Police learned of the Wednesday case when they were investigating the second incident, which occurred around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Hawkins Residence Hall is a co-ed dorm for students that are at least 20 years old. University officials say each student has a key card for access to all entries and there is an employee at the front desk 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Police ask anyone with information about the reported incidents or other incidents to contact them.

Actually though I usually carry just my Glock 27 a spare mag, a folder and light.
If I had to go somewhere that was iffy, I could put my snub nose in an ankle holster or pocket carry it.
I carry one gun, usually the SIG P-232 or the Walther PPK/S and a Swiss Army knife. That's pretty much it. Keys, wallet, money clip, and watch complete the package. I don't carry extra magazines and my first aid kit consists of a couple of Band-Aids tucked in the wallet.

To: Office of Pioneering Support
I wish to inform the Office of Pioneering Support that Ashardalon family has returned to Granado Espada after fulfilling its commitments in mainland Vespanola for almost 2 weeks.
On our way back to the New World, we stopped by Viron, the island previously known as the End of the World. Viron is still under direct rule of Vespanola, and its citizens are apprehensive of New World pioneers. Later, we discovered that Captain Ricardo has managed to open a route to Viron from Port of Coimbra. Several more things have changed in the New World since we left. For details, see [Sword2] Revelations (v6.7).
Meanwhile, Mirajane (Lisa) reached Lv.100. The family also bought Centurion Costume for Reboldeaux Soldier, which can be upgraded with Superior Centurion Costume Quest, at the cost of 600k feso. Please be informed that some family members have re-registered under new names with the officials in town by paying 2 Great Stones (100k feso) each. They are as follows:
- Aribeth (Romina) was renamed after the troubled half-elf paladin in Neverwinter Nights game.
- Archimedes (Jack) was renamed after the famous Greek mathematician and engineer.
- Yaoi (Andre) was renamed after the male homoerotic genre of Japanese media.
- Brisingamen (Karjalain) was renamed after the flaming necklace of Freyja, the Norse goddess of love.
- Shotaro (Viki) was renamed after the ten-year-old boy in Tetsujin 28-go manga, from which derived the phrase Shotacon (i.e. attraction to young boys).
- Sasori (Summoner Catherine) was renamed after the ninja puppet master in Naruto manga.
- Angelica (Adelina) was renamed after the female pirate played by Penélope Cruz in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie.
- Lourdes (Grace) was renamed after a small town in France which is famous for its Marian apparitions known as Our Lady of Lourdes.
Despite the short time spent pioneering thus far, we managed to squeeze in a few raids. Artemisia (Calyce) and I completed 2 Griffon missions, and looted Symbol of Gemini, Symbol of Capricorn, and Elite Ziz Bracelet Recipe. The roulette chests of raid missions were still quite poor. Joaquin Underground Prison proved to be still horrible after update. Getting 3 Honor B Cards for a single roulette chest is really too much. Adorabelle (f/ele) also acquired Elemental Otite from Gwraig inside Dr. Torsche's Basement, but it was stolen by Montoro from Dr. Torsche later. Even with v6.7 update, things are still somewhat boring, since what is left to do is mostly training characters and raiding. The friendship quests are somewhat amusing, but they won't last long.
For Colony War, the previous week (i.e. July 23, 2011) ended with the following colony occupants - ShakeTheHeavens (6), Othrys (6), Soniere (4), Phalanx (3), Core (3), and ~Galactica~ (1). Phalanx clan lost 3 colonies as a result. After much deliberations over the past few months, the 2 leaders of Phalanx clan - Lorelle and Misericordiia families - have left the New World so as to better manage their commitments elsewhere. So when we returned, the family was already removed from Phalanx clan, after having spent 70 weeks out of a total of 150 active weeks there. The 3 Phalanx colonies were scavenged by other clans during the next war.

This baroque era tuning seems to be a popular method for performing pieces like Bach's well tempered clavier. It is a tuning system based on the Pythagorean tuning but "tempered" with so it would sound well on different chromatic scales.
As a (pretenious) baroque music lover and thanks also to the wonderful influence of my harpsichordist(/musicology) friend, I've dived into implementing the Werckmeister tuning system in javascript last night for more experiments with audio synthesis in HTML5 audio.
First, let us look at the basic method for deriving frequencies using the equal temperament (ET). Taking A440 (concert pitch A at 440hz), we can calculate frequencies by doing this.
var noteFrequency = 440 * Math.pow(2, semitones / 12);
where semitones is the number of semitones away from the concert A. Pretty simple right?
Instead of a universal formula for ET, or recalculating the tempering of frequencies, we would use the chart for frequency relation of the Werckmeister I (III) system ["correct temperament" based on 1/4 comma divisions], conveniently taken from wikipedia.
Since there's 12 distinct notes in an octave, to get a frequency of a particular note, you multiply the relative ratio of the note you wish to get. For different octaves, with simply half or double the frequency, which can be expressed as powers of 2, eg. Math.pow(2, octave_difference);
So after we precompute the ratio table into rational numbers, we can calculate and check cents by running Math.log(werckmeisterRatio)/Math.log(2)* 1200 ) on each note. The precision you would get would be higher than the rounded numbers in wikipedia.
Now, what's left is to multiply the frequency ratios to a real frequency, but what frequency should we use? What's more puzzling is that the base frequency for the charts is using C and intead of concert A. But no worries, my friend tells me 415hz (or even 390hz) is usually used for the baroque A, and with that we can estimate the frequency of C. [This topic of frequency is always an area of debate. But a reason how they calculated the lower baroque pitch, at least from a book I've read, is by measuring the frequencies created by organs from the baroque era]. One way you could do it is by running baseFrequency = 415 / Math.pow(2, 9/12);
(If you're observant enough, that's a equal temperament formula. for the werckmeister method, check out the source code)
So for the first time in the history of music, let's us listen to a live performance of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto in the Html5 Audio Concert hall, played on periodic javascript instruments, in the Werckmeister temperament, performed by the javascript chamber orchestra!
Free entrance @ http://jabtunes.com/labs/werckmeister/ (Firefox attire recommended:)
p.s. relevant source code for midi number to frequency using werckmeister's tuning @ https://gist.github.com/1406293
p.p.s. actually, what's unclear is that in a chamber setting, what temperament do instruments apart from the keyboard use? to the real musicians, please enlighten

It's a travesty that, while the younger generation certainly knows who the Gait Brothers are, many have never seen them play and therefore don't realize what actually made Paul and Gary the most ground-breaking players of all time.
College coaches live in the film room, preparing endlessly for opponents by watching tape until their eyes are bloodshot and their legs are asleep. It is an invaluable part of the game-planning process, and can result in a win instead of a loss.
The same principle applies to the development of a budding lacrosse player. Watching film won't get you in shape, and it shouldn't make up nearly as large a percentage of your time as it does for a coach. But watching tape of great players will advance your "Lacrosse IQ."
From stick tech to shooting to coaching techniques, skim the ILTelevision.com and YouTube videos below to see the game's best-ever in action. You'll hear other greats reference Paul and Gary as their source of lacrosse inspiration. In fact, the innovative style the twins put on display is what convinced Mikey Powell to pick up a stick and give the sport a shot in the first place.
With the Gaits, it wasn't just about flinging shots behind the back, hidden ball tricks and the Air Gait. You'll see the speed, size, agility and power these two brought to their positions. They have the might to bull-dodge through anyone from X. And they've got the explosiveness and finesse to lead a blistering fastbreak, and — after winding up for a ripping outside side-arm — dump a change-up to the right corner attackman on the crease.
All this said, lacrosse flows up and down the field, often the most beautiful moments happening in unsettled situations. These situations are where the Gaits flourished, as their passes and off-ball work was as mind-blowing as their goals. So, to truly witness the greatness of these two, I recommend picking up the NCAA DVDs from their Final Four appearances in '88, '89 and '90, or reviewing them online.
Not only will you learn from watching Paul and Gary's 1990 team (widely considered the best college squad ever), you'll be able to learn from the other players in the sport's "Golden Era."
Gait vs. Pietramala is generally known as the quintessential one-on-one matchup of all time. But the names of top-flight talent is near-endless: Brian Wood, Tim Goldstein, John Reese, Jimmy Beardmore, Matt Panetta, Greg Burns, Mike Morrell, Timmy Goldstein, Quint Kessenich, Paul Schmoller, Aaron Jones, Pat McCabe, Steve Mitchell, John Zulberti, John Wurtzburger, Matt Palumb, Tom Marechek. Not only is three consecutive titles impressive in any sport at any level. The Gaits won theirs against competition stacked with Hall of Fame athletes.
From IL's 2008 special on ESPN, we take a look at 'the dive' that originated with Gary Gait and lives on in the pro game today:
Gary and Paul show themselves as the game's true innovators at the Laxapalooza Stick Trick Contest:

Paul Gait's done it all, here shown coaching the Knighthawks:

I'm beginning to think you've been UK MMA's most elaborate troll of all time (with little regard for personal safety in building up the backstory).
Check out the Front Row MMA 'Grumpy Old MMA' video on the topic.
Surpirsed if they have a big screen and they are making a DVD why not show a replay of the action so far. Not too difficult with todays technology?
i hate when shows have girls doing dance routines, i think id rather have nothing on than dancers etc...
lions and lion tamer would be quite good
what about the guy who swallows things and then pukes them up again? i saw him once at 'Church', funnily enough in the HMV forum, walked out without a scratch on me lol
I like spotting 'coke monsters' during intervals
3 x Points for spotting Jittery 'Coke Monster'
+ bonuses as below
1 x point for Ed Hardy'esque T-Shirt
1 x Point if above T-Shirt is clearly one size too small
1 x Point for Shaven head
1 x point for Tribal tattoos
1 x Point for obvious Roid' use with an extensive upper body routine
My record is 316 points at UFC 120 at the 02 Arena
They should have female strippers as intervals
The worse a belly dancing troop but the women were in the ther late 40s it wasnt nice to watch. The best was a group of street dancers.
I'd score highly in the unfitOnes scoring but my fav interludes have been Mr Persil being escorted out of the cage on a stretcher. The best being 'Caged Fighters' where he tried to quit and was made to stand up again before being escorted like the decrepid failure he is after one more 'shot'.

Given the number of tweets and messages we get enquiring after the progress of our iOS version (thank you everyone for your enthusiasm!), I wanted to give everyone a quick update, since there have been some important developments recently.
As many of you know, development started on Scrivener for iPad and iPhone early in 2012, and we had hoped that we would have it ready for the end of that year; we later revised that estimate to the first quarter of 2013. And, as many of you have pointed out to us, here we are in April – so where is it?
I'll provide the information you are most likely after first: it will still be a little while–certainly much longer than we had hoped. We can give no firm release date yet, and given that past estimates have been wildly off, I'm not even going to make a guess at this stage. We very much hope it will be out this year, in time for National Novel Writing Month, but we're not going to make any promises at all until we know for absolutely sure that we can keep them.
The frustrating part for us is that, for the past four or five months, we have had a version of Scrivener for iPad that is in many ways so nearly there and yet still not ready for beta-testing. We hit snags with the rich text system (or iOS's lack of one) and building the synchronisation code is incredibly complicated because of Scrivener's package-based file format, but we had most of the other basics in place and felt we were really making good progress.
Unfortunately, however, owing to unforeseen and serious health problems in our iOS developer's immediate family, over the past few months our original developer has been unable to spend the time on the project that is required to get past the final roadblocks and finish it. It's been a difficult time for everyone as we tried to work out the best way to proceed, all the while hoping things would get back to normal even as time slipped by, especially since she has done such an amazing job so far (the iOS versions of the binder and corkboard are a joy to work with). It gradually became clear, sadly, that our iOS developer had no choice but to officially reduce the time she could dedicate to the project so that she could concentrate on her family, and that we would need to find someone else to step in. But because we're a small company with limited resources and no headquarters or offices, it's not as though we could just throw money at the problem by hiring a bunch of developers and supervising them until it is done; we're not Microsoft, Apple, or even Omni. We needed to find another iOS developer not just passionate about coding, but passionate about creating an iOS version of Scrivener in particular.
It is with great pleasure and some degree of relief, then, that I can now announce that we have found a new developer to focus on getting Scrivener for iOS completed. (The original developer will continue to work on it too, as much as her current circumstances allow.) The new developer is Tammy Coron, an experienced iOS coder who is also involved with Nickelfish and developed the iMore app. She's a dedicated Scrivener user and, like many of our users, is desperate to have the iOS version for herself. (It's not just our users eager for this–I want to be using the iPhone version as soon as possible too.) There's an interview with Tammy available online for anyone interested here:
Tammy can also be found on Twitter @Paradox927 (which is the same user name she uses on our own forums).
Tammy has been getting up to speed with the project for the past fortnight and has now started diving into the code proper. We hope to provide more news over the coming months, but we're all excited to have her on board and to once again be forging ahead with getting our iOS app completed.
To those desperate to have an iOS version as soon as possible, we are very sorry for the delay, but remember that in the meantime Scrivener for Mac already has some great ways of working with mobile devices (e.g. via external folder sync). We know we'll get a bunch of angry emails and tweets over this, but I hope that most of our users continue to find Scrivener one of the best desktop writing packages around, and that the iOS version will be worth the wait when it is eventually in everyone's hands. We also hope that everyone will understand why we haven't wanted to say too much about what has been holding up development until we really had to and had already got a solution in place.

Left-wing protests for "immigration reform" (amnesty) used to be a huge TV-news story. MRC's 2006 special report Election in the Streets counted 309 stories in little more than two months. So it's a little surprising that Sunday's "pro-immigrant" protest received just a few seconds of attention.
It's better measured with a word count than a story count. ABC, CBS, and NBC combined gave it 239 words (or less than 80 words per network). NBC had 34 words, ABC 84, and CBS 141 (half a story).
This is 239 words more than the 2010 March for Life. Obviously, the timing was terrible, with the final vote on health "reform" scheduled. But you would think it would draw more than this. Perhaps the plugged-in Democrats like Stephanopoulos got a signal that focus on this issue wasn't helpful when voters are already angry with Democrats about health care.
The president made a "surprise" video announcement for the rally, but none of the networks had any interest in video or verbiage from it. It's here. Obama touted how he marched with the lefties in Illinois in 2006. He touted the memory of Ted Kennedy: "Teddy's commitment to the cause never wavered, and neither has mine."
NBC's 34 words came on Monday's Today. News anchor Natalie Morales skimmed over it: "In the midst of the health care battle, advocate for immigration reform rallied on the National Mall. President Obama told them he is still committed to working with Congress on the issue this year."
ABC was second with two brief stories totaling 84 words, one on Sunday's World News, and one on Monday's Good Morning America. This was the Sunday brief:
DIANE SAWYER: And there was a preview in Washington today of another major battle looming on the horizon, immigration reform. Tens of thousands of people marched to call attention to giving illegal immigrants a path to legal status, and in frustration that the Obama administration has not acted yet.
This was Monday's:
JUJU CHANG: Well, as the health care bill eked through Capitol Hill, thousands of marchers descended on the National Mall for another debate, immigration reform. President Obama sent a videotaped message vowing to work on the issue this year.
CBS offered the lengthiest coverage at half a story on Sunday night by reporter Bill Plante:
BILL PLANTE: ...Thousands of immigration white supporters rallied on the National Mall today urging President Obama to make good on his campaign pledge and urging Congress to reform the nation`s immigration laws.
JANET PARKER (Immigration Reform Activist): We believe that we`re getting their attention even if they`re voting on something else today.
LIZ TREBOLSI (Immigration Reform Activist): I'm here because it`s always a good time to fix a bad immigration system.
BILL PLANTE: But that would be another uphill fight and political observers don`t believe it`s in the cards.
LARRY SABATO: I hear them talking about immigration reform, I don`t believe it. I hear them talking about cap and trade, energy, I don`t believe it. There are just so many things that a Congress can produce in an election year.
BILL PLANTE: The public's biggest concerns, by far, are jobs and the economy and that's what the Obama White House will be talking about from now until November.
The latest media poll on immigration (at least at Pollingreport.com) is a CNN poll from last October. One question asked "Would you like to see the number of illegal immigrants currently in this country increased, decreased, or remain the same?" Only three percent said increased, and 22 percent picked "remain the same." Seventy-three percent picked "decreased."
They asked "Do you think the U.S. Census should or should not ask everyone living in this country whether they are legal residents of the United States?" That's 88 percent yes, and 12 percent no.
There was this bizarre question suggesting that Americans are racially profiling Latinos they don't know: "Suppose you were in your neighborhood and you saw a Latino man or woman who you did not know. Would you be most likely to assume that they were born in this country, that they immigrated to this country legally, or that they were an illegal immigrant?" Perhaps sensitive to the harsh implication, 68 percent picked the first two.
I'd tell the pollster "I don't make assumptions like that about people I do not know."

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir Roger Moore participates in disaster risk reduction drill in Kazakhstan's Almaty Region
ALMATY, Kazakhstan, 18 November 2010 – UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir Roger Moore joined hundreds of children in an earthquake and fire emergency preparedness drill today at a school in Almaty Region's Karasay District.
Sir Roger and Lady Kristina, who are visiting the earthquake prone country, attended the drill at a school in Ushkonyr village in Karasay District where children are taught how to better protect themselves in the event of disaster, including flooding. In cooperation with the European Union (EU), UNICEF is providing disaster risk reduction training at schools in Almaty Region, along with a special curriculum on enhancing skills and knowledge on survival in disaster situations.
"You have demonstrated the high level of your preparedness for disasters, but I hope you will never have to use your skill on disaster risk reduction in your real life," Sir Roger Moore told the schoolchildren following the drills.
The project is financed by the European Union's Disaster Preparedness Humanitarian Aid Department (DIPECHO), and is expected to teach these life saving skills to some 50,000 children before being expanded to all schools in the country.
According to the UN, the frequency, scale and impact of disasters around the world are increasing. The catastrophes caused by natural disasters destroy the social, economic and ecological activities of people. This global trend is also seen in Central Asian countries, including in Kazakhstan, which is why more focus must be put on disaster risk reduction training.
The project is being developed as part of the Hygo action programme which is aimed at reducing the number of victims and losses among people as well as alleviating social, economic and ecological damages on communities and countries as a result of disasters.
Sir Roger Moore, who is perhaps best known for his role as James Bond, is in Kazakhstan on a five day visit with his wife Lady Kristina to help raise awareness and support for vulnerable children, including boys and girls with disability.
At the end of their stay, the famous couple will attend a special Charity Ball on 20 November in support of UNICEF's work on behalf of Kazakhstan's more than 150,000 children with disabilities.

As a fan of TV and my enthusiasm for branding design, one of the shows that I have grown more and more intrigued by is ABC's Shark Tank. One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the brand design they have at the moment of their pitch is not as great as the product or service. Not only on this show but throughout the world you may notice many companies have similar problems. If only company's, new or old, spent a little more of their budget on branding they may have never needed to swim with the sharks in the first place.
On the flip side there have been many brands that did invest a little more into the marketing side of their product or service. Below I compiled my top 10 best brands to dip their toes in the tank.
1. Wild Squirrel Nut Butter
Very playful and sophisticated. Use of colors, Style and the hint of charm really cause this product to stand out from other nut butters on the market.
2. HyConn
Super-Fast Fire Hydrant Connector. A product that can really save a life. With fire fighters time is always the most important. With this product you quickly and clearly see time and safety are the key factors in making this product stand out.
3. Würkin Stiffs
4. Liquid Money
Combat Nutrition. The unique quality of this brand came, not only from the product, but the fact that they took their own life experiences (being Marines) and infused it into their brand.
6. Lollacup
This brand does a great job at taking their inventive new product and giving it a clean, youthful and sophisticated look. They walked a fine line making the product appeal to kids and adults.
7. Freaker
Unlike some of the other brands discussed, this one plays more to a style and a feel rather than the actual product they make. The beauty is that it doesn't matter. What I believe works so well about this brand is they take a product and make it into a fashion statement for drinks. They play up the feeling of being "cool" and "hip". In return you feel like you are buying into a lifestyle more so than a product.
8. Talbott Teas
Talbott Teas plays into a sophistication that you may see in a skin care line or other high end product. The great thing is when you place this next to many other tea products out their this one becomes even more eye catching.
9. Pork Barrel BBQ
I really enjoy the fun cartoon and award winning feel they place into the brand. It is like you are at a county fair about to enjoy some good old fashion BBQ. They keep the product friendly and inviting to the consumer.
10. The Bear & The Rat
Cool treats for dogs. This brand seems like the equivalent of Ben & Jerry's for the dog world. It really plays up the love of the owners own pets to connect to its customers.
Now that I've shared my opinion on some of the best brands from Shark Tank, leave a comment and share your thoughts and opinions. Even drop in a few products you may have saw on the show which you believe should have made the list.
BUT WAIT, Theres more!
Here are a few examples of brands that appeared on Shark Tank that you may have overlooked because of branding choices. With a slight facelift these companies could appeal to a much larger audience.

Variation in no load amperage of similar rated 3- phase motors
The status of the 3 similar rated 3-phase motors [16 KW, 27 amps, 440V] is as follows:
Motor A] No-load = 14 amps On-Load = 37 amps
Motor B] No-load = 8 amps On-Load = 40 amps
Motor C] No-load = 2 amps On-Load = 40 amps
We are at a loss to comprehend the variation in no-load amperage of 3 similar rated motors.
these motors are used for what purpose? what is the load?
Are these motors the same horsepower?
Similar ratings doenst mean they are the same motor. They could have different service factors or rpm's.
Did you wire all of the windings the same way?
But what troubles me is that 14A vs. 37A implies that this motor is 60% efficient which is very low for a motor this large.
These motors are used for driving an AC blower via pulley & v-belt transmission.
We do not have the HP of these motors. These motors are old & have been in service for a long time. They could have been rewound during their life till date.
Star connection is used. However delta connection was also tried out. With delta connection - the load current increased by 3 amps when the motor was in operation.
Is there a y-delta starter ?
Motor health equals insulation health plus other factors and insul. health can be checked with a Megger.
I guess I'd also listen to the bearing noise with a stethoscope as you spin the shaft by hand.
If you can define 'best' I can try to steer you to an optimal choice. It depends on your 'utility function.'
If I'm paying the electric bill for a motor that sometimes runs with no load then I have a high utility [=it is very useful to me] for an efficient motor.
A 100% efficient motor pulling 16 kw = 21 hp so the motor rating is less than 21 hp.
If so your Loaded application is far to large for the motor, a motor with a plated FLA of 27 amps is a 20 HP and your current drawing is suggesting you need to either reduce the load or increase the HP of the motor to 30.
Measuring NL amps of a motor is not really going to tell you much. You are also stating 440 Volts, I didn't think that was a nominal voltage these days, I guess it depends where your are. What is the voltage of the circuit feeding these motors? if its 480 the amperage should be lower not higher.
Many thanks your response. This motor is used to drive the AC blower of a sea going vessel's accomodation. The vessel is equipped with 3 independant generators which provide the power source. Hence we are not so concerned on the electric bill as fuel for running the generators is on our charterers account.
Best - in terms of reliabilty over a longer period of running as this motor is run 24 x 7 for 365 days in a year. Appreciate your advice - whether the motor drawing 8 Amp or 2 Amp in no-load stage be used. Thanks once again.
Thanks Mark. appreciate your inputs. We suspect some fault on the blower unit & have checked same. However same appears to be very free & bearings ok & temperature of bearings ok during running. as motors have been reconditioned - we are trying to figure out if the motor is the problem or the blower is the problem. Until we get a new motor - we are unable to determine this. We are planning to change the bearings of the blower as well. appreciate if u could revert as to which would be the best motor to use in this case if we change the bearings of the blower first - the motor drawing 2 amp or the 8 amp at no-load stage. This motor drives the ac blower of a accomoadtion ac unit of a sea going vessel & runs 24 x 7 for 365 days. Kindly revert with your inputs. Also kindly rvert as to what would be the ideal insulation values??
thanks / valentine
There is a starter onboard - Will have to check the type & revert. thanks
As for testing the motors, measure the resistance of the field windings, each set of windings should be close to each other and have low ohms readings. I would select the motor with the most consistant low readings field windings to field windings.
An excerp from a motor testing article http://www.gainesvilleindustrialelectric.blogspot.com/
"To test the windings, use an ohmeter. Make sure any jumpers for voltage selection remain connected. For a nine lead, dual voltage motor connected for 480 volts, these would typically be the 4-7, 5-8, and 6-9 connections. Measure the resistance from 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1. The resistance readings should be between 1-2% of each other - in other words, BALANCED! There is no way to tell how much resistance you should get, but it is typically low. Realize that you are testing with a DC battery. Therefore, you are reading the resistance of the copper wire. In many cases, this will look like a short circuit. GOOD! It's when it doesn't look like a short circuit that you have problems. As long as the readings are low and balanced, you're ready to go to the next step. I can't tell you how many motors are brought to us because "the windings are shorted." Don't make that mistake."
Unless you have a megger you will not be able to test the insulation quality of the motors.

Hi there,
I used Export to get my data into a file. But now
I would like to write text and arrays of numbers in a more direct way.
My problem is that everytime I call e.g. PutAppend or WriteAppend
Mathematica starts a new line. Is it not possible to control the output
to a file in the same way like with outstream in C++??
I mean, e.g. to output an element of an array, and then a tab and then
maybe a word,...
Thank you for any kind of help,

Columnist James Lawton says Arsenal's 21-year-old Spanish star Cesc Fabregas' declaration of dedictation to his club amid transfer rumors is a breath of fresh air amid the "ingrate football stars sneering at the point of contracts and the loyalty that until now they have always implied."
"Fabregas's astonishing statement of fealty to the club which has nurtured him so brilliantly"
says Lawton is a cause for celebration compared to the maneuverings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov, Didier Drogba and Fabregas's teammate Emmanuel Adebayor.
Fabregas, who helped
Spain win Euro 2008, was linked to Real Madrid in Spanish media reports and quoted as leaning toward a move. But Fabregas said, "I have not spoken to anyone in the media, so it is frustrating to read
quotes that I have supposedly said. I have spent the summer relaxing with my family, friends and girlfriend, and I return to training tomorrow. I think some people are trying to make mischief, but my
intentions are very clear. I am happy here at Arsenal, my future is with Arsenal and the priority is to achieve success and win trophies at Arsenal."

Playing cooperatively may actually increase a child's eagerness to learn.
Every child and parent knows the joy and fun that can come out of play time. Taking a few hours each day to play with toys or build new creations out of building blogs or puzzle toys can help to encourage imagination in children and can help with cognitive development. However, if you have ever had to pull your child away from their favorite toys or play time activities in order to convince them to do their homework, you can now rest easy when it comes to worrying about their education. New research has shown that playing, especially when it includes group or pair playing, can actually increase a child's eagerness to learn!
The study, conducted by New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development, has found that when students played a math game collaboratively with another student, it motivated them to learn even more. This was compared to students who played the game along. Research in the study also uncovered that students' interest and enjoyment of playing increased when another student joined in.
"We found support for claims that well-designed games can motivate students to learn less popular subjects, such as math, and that game-based learning can actually get students interested in the subject matter and can broaden their focus beyond just collecting stars or points," said Jan Plass, a professor in New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development and one of the study's lead authors.
But what kind of games are both fun and educational at the same time? Laser Pegs offers a number of educational light up toy kits that help to encourage spelling, math and creating sentences for students of all ages. Whether you have a young child who is just learning these basic subjects for the first time, or you are looking for a fun way to expand an older child's understanding of these subjects, the Laser Pegs educational line is a great way to mix learning and fun.
The study also noted that not only does play time encourage learning at home and in the classroom, but it can also help children feel more comfortable in subjects that may have otherwise caused problems for them or made them feel self conscious in school.
"Educational games may be able to help circumvent major problems plaguing classrooms by placing students in a frame of mind that is conducive to learning rather than worrying about how smart they look," added co-lead author Paul O'Keefe, an NYU postdoctoral fellow at the time of the study.
Given just how beneficial learning toys can be for children of all ages, educational toys, such as the ones in the Laser Pegs Educational Kits line, would make the perfect holiday present for any child who is looking to learn and play all at the same time. To learn more about the kits that Laser Pegs offers, including our ABC kit, Words kit and Numbers kit, contact Laser Pegs today.

Words & Pictures: Seth Kushner
I arranged to talk to Jeff Newelt on the rooftop of the building that houses Deep 6 studios, in Gowanus, Brooklyn. It's the type of location where one would almost expect to meet a superhero, or a superhero's publicist, in this case. The phallic Williamsburg Bank Building looms in the distance, it's clock telling me that Jeff is running late. No signal beam is needed to call upon him, just an iPhone to call to check on his status.
Jeff arrives wearing a Paul Pope designed t-shirt and carrying a bag of comics. He wastes no time hurling info at me at lightning speed. "My role in comics in general, is being the guy who connects all the superheroes," Jeff tells me matter-of-factly as the F train rattles by. "I get them together and make sure they all know each other so they could all team up to expose everybody to each other's awesome stuff and of course battle some evil cosmic force sure to invade earth in the months to come. I look at ACT-I-VATE as an Avengers, and Paul Pope, who I also work with, as a Batman, and Royal Flush Magazine as a Legion of Substitute Heroes (kidding Josh!!) or SMITH Mag as a Justice League - all compatible and equal entities."
I don't know when I first met Jeff. I remember him introducing himself to me at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas a few years back, when I was covering it and he was doing PR for Samsung at the time. But I already knew him then; we were myspace friends, and he was comics editor for Heeb, a magazine I freelanced for as well. But, thinking back, he worked at The Art Director's Club back in the 90's when I frequently attended events. Wait, didn't he also used to date my friend Emily's friend? Maybe we went to kindergarten together?
Jeff Newelt, AKA JahFurry, is a self-described social media expert/pioneer. He's also a reggae performer and promotes jazz & reggae shows. Jeff also is the comics editor of SMITH, HEEB, (where he's also written many comic creator profiles and reviews) and Royal Flush (announced later in this article) Magazines, as well as editor of The Pekar Project for SMITH Mag. Not enough? Okay, Jeff also is the PR/Social Media consultant for artists such as Paul Pope, Doug Rushkoff, Rick Veitch, Larry Marder, NBM Publishing, Molly Crabapple, David Lloyd, DJ Spooky and others. That must be it, right? Nope. He also is the co-host of ProtocolsNYC an off-the-record salon, and teaches social media to female entrepreneurs.
When does this guy sleep? I think I know since I've often received emails from Jeff at three or four AM and never anytime during the day before noon. "JahFurries are nocturnal," he tells me.
Jeff is feeding me too much information all at once. Time to start the questioning.
Seth Kushner - Tell me about ACT-I-VATE; how did you start with them?
Jeff Newelt – "I first came to ACT-I-VATE because I was comics editor of SMITH magazine and we were publishing online,Shooting War by Anthony Lappe and Dan Goldman, who was also in ACT-I-VATE. So, while promoting and hyping Shooting War, I also promoted ACT-I-VATE, because I was a fan of what they do. I always saw ACT-I-VATE as a sort of sister or brother site to SMITH. Part of my shtick is I uberblab about things I like, so I'd been telling people about AIV, and after seeing what I'd done promoting Shooting War, Dean Haspiel and Dan Goldman asked if I'd officially be one of them as 'Minister Of Hype.' I said, 'Lemme think abou.... I'm in!' Since then, I've been the fifth Beatle, or the twenty-seventh Beatle in this case. I'm the one guy who doesn't do comics, but I'll stick my two cents in a lot of different ways."
SK - What does a "Minister of Hype" do?
JN - "I run in a lot of circles and speak to a lot of media spreading the word that AIV is the ultimate webcomics collective because I believe it. I send people to AIV who may not have ever read a graphic novel as an entry point to not only webcomics, but to the comics medium in general. I also marshal the forces as social media general reminding everybody to link to AIV on their Facebook profile, to Tweet when you put up a new comic, stuff like that."
"What I consider to be one of my specialties, and has been since I was six years old, is being able to turn people on to comics. When AIV has a big party, I make sure the guest list is 25 to 50% non-comics fans. Most comics related parties are 95% comics fans. I frame AIV, and all the folks I work with, as something someone who is into cool culture would want to be a part of. You don't have to be a theater buff to see two plays a year, or an independent film freak to see three indie films a year, and you don't have to be a comics nut to enjoy a few webcomics or buy a graphic novel or three."
SK – What are webcomics doing for the comics industry?
JN - "Webcomics are not in competition with print comics, but instead they may be the savior of print comics. You can read webcomics while you're not working at work. You may never pick up and buy a graphic novel, but if I send you a cool image from something that sounds like it might be up your alley, or post one on my Facebook page, you're just might click, and if you like that, you just may click again onto Amazon. Especially if you're at work, goofing off, and really, when is that not the case? It's primo procrastination fodder and we're going to take advantage of that."
"Without the web, converting someone from maybe buying a graphic novel to actually buying a graphic novel is sometimes almost impossible, but webcomics are the segue in between that, because you can look at a free webcomic for five minutes and be hooked without even knowing you even liked comics in general. I guess that makes my role very similar to being a crack dealer. I give them a taste and they get hooked. AIV is very easy to give a taste of. It tastes like chicken actually. It's a great gateway for comics in general."
"My main role is gradually and sinisterly getting it into the consciousness of the culturatti that AIV is the badass all-star webcomics collective. "
SK – What about the Pekar project; how did you get involved with Harvey?
JN – "We at SMITH had a code-word for A.D. New Orleans After the Deluge, the serialized nonfiction Katrina graphic novel by Josh Neufeld, before it even started, which was 'American Splendor 2.0,' meaning our benchmark for quality of nonfiction comics on SMITH was the work of Harvey Pekar. The 2.0 meant the multimedia and blog extras our format can provide, and Josh happened to be an actual frequent Pekar collaborator. Our next SMITH comics series was Next-Door Neighbor, an anthology of true-life tales edited by AIV's own Dean Haspiel, another frequent Pekar collaborator. Harvey himself contributed a story to NDN, and it was my contribution to pair him with Rick Veitch, and Harvey was real happy with how that story came out and the reception it received. Around that time Harvey was working with a gifted illustrator/designer, Tara Seibel who was starting to do comics with Harvey, and he was energized, knowing the two of them if they kept going would get into some deep avante garde shit. So he called Dean and said, 'What about that SMITH online thing…think me and Tara could do something?' I was looking for the next big SMITH project, and Dean knew I was also itching to hone my hands-on editor's chops, so Dean connected us. I immediately had Harvey and Tara do a strip for HEEB's politics issue and the seeds were sown. At the same time Harvey started working with artist Joseph Remnant, whose style was opposite of Tara's, very Crumb-like, but who Harvey was also enjoying working with. Harvey also did a strip illustrated by young Sean Pryor for Royal Flush, which Harvey also dug, and then Rick Parker, the veteran who always wanted to draw for Pekar threw his hat into the ring and a band was formed."
"Working with Harvey is a treat. He is way more sweet, humble and appreciative than he is a 'curmudgeon.' We quickly got into a groove and just started to literally jam. Harvey calls me up and reads me stories over the phone and I even would up in one of them, 'Legendary Vienna.' This is also the first time that Harvey isn't working just one-to-one-to-one with all the artists. This is a team. Tara's been instrumental in getting the whole thing rolling, coming up with the badass logo that just sealed the deal, and all four artists are bringing their A-game. We even all went to Cleveland for his 70th birthday to do a Pekar Project gallery show and it felt like a family reunion even though most of us just met for the first time."
SK – How did the "Harvey Heads" gallery come into being?
JN - "I came up with the Harvey Heads idea on the subway. I didn't know what was I going to get Harvey for his 70th birthday, and then I thought, how about something that shows this super humble man how much he's loved in the comics community! What if I got 70 artists to draw 70 Harvey heads in tribute? Turns out we got over 100, and more keep coming in. So with a week from conception, to execution, the Harvey Heads gallery came into being, and it wound up being not only a present he loved, but a veritable buzz bomb because its just so fucking cool, and brought a lot of attention to the Pekar Project that we're all working are heinies off on and also very proud of the results. I'm of the school that if you built it awesomely, they will come. If someone asks how can they get folks to write about what they do or their product I say first make sure whatever it is, is awesome. Otherwise don't waste your time; there are plenty of awesome things for media to write about over a not-awesome thing with a spin."
SK – What else do you have going on?
JN – "I'll also take this time in this article to announce that I've become comics editor of a third magazine, Royal Flush, the new issue of which is, to quote my own press release, "Part pop culture mag, part rock art carnival, part comic book, and all irreverent fun." I wrote an article about Frank Zappa and Jack Kirby's friendship, and my pal Rick Veitch did a killer illustration of Zappa as a Kirby New God. I also worked with Harvey Pekar on a piece. Flush publisher Josh Bernstein and I brainstormed on how the fuck to get Pekar into the magazine, especially because artist Sean Pryor (now in Pekar Project) was dying to work with him. So we decided to send him some metal and punk CDs to review, knowing that would set him off on an entertaining rant, and it did. And in the spirit of a team-up, this Royal Flush Pekar story will be previewed exclusively on the Pekar Project on SMITH. Sean kicked ass on the art, and was then asked to be part of the Pekar Project and Paul Pope provided a sexy pull-out centerfold."
SK – I'm exhausted just listening to you. How do you manage to keep track of so many different things?
JN – "Like Wolverine, who's on the X-Men and the Avengers and who is also hirsute, I'm on multiple teams with equal allegiance to each. It would always frustrate me when the superheroes would fight in the comics. I instinctually see the common points where all the different individual entities can team-up, share audiences... It's like, if you like the comics on ACT-I-VATE, you'll probably like the clothes Paul Pope designed for DKNY Jeans, or Rick Veitch's graphic novel, Brat Pack, and so on.... So I coordinate all the superheroes of comics to a greater good of a greater audience for each other and for comics in general."
With those final words, Jeff takes off, not off the side of the roof, but down the stairs, undoubtedly on his way to make something happen. Or, maybe he's just going off to read his comics.

Wounded Warrior Gets Mortgage-Free Home
A local war veteran who served in Iraq for five years receives his piece of the 'American Dream' today, a mortgage-free home in Pasco.
Army Sergeant Charles Aikala and his family have been living in the home for about a week now and Aikala said it truly is a dream come true.
The crowd cheered as a motorcade escorted the Aikala family to the veteran's memorial in Columbia Park, where Aikala was honored for his service in Iraq from 2006 to 2011.
He got into an intense gun battle where he was forced into an area where IED exploded and he suffered multiple injuries.
Aikala has earned several awards including a purple heart.
He is originally from Tacoma and said he's proud to call Pasco his new home and explains the feelings of owning his new house.
"Security, ownership and the freedom to do whatever we want in our own home," said Aikala.
At the end of the event, veterans and other members of the community thanked Aikala for his service one-by-one as they shook his hand.
Fairway Independent Mortgage teamed up with the non-profit, Military Warriors Support Foundation's Homes 4 Wounded Heroes, in order to make today's donation to the Aikala family.

Member Since: March 10, 2013

I have a rather urgent question.
We've used the Rn41 Sparkfun BlueSmirf v4.77 for a while. Now, we purchased 10pcs. It turns out that the SW version on these are v6.15
The problem is that the command S7,1 (7-bit mode) gives an error. That worked in v4.77
Why is that? How do i simply downgrade the Firmware back to 4.77?
Hoping for a fast answer since this is very, very urgent (as i mentioned before). We're shipping this unit to a customer abroad on Monday!!
No public wish lists :(

What is a function of a rectifier?
The Rectifier is an electronic device, which converts an AC waveform(Usually a Bi-directional waveform with Zero Average value) to a Pulsating DC waveform (Uni-directional waveform with Nonzero Average value). As AC wave (Sinusoidal) has two half cycles, namely - Positive Half cycle & Negative Half cycle If a Rectifier does it's operation only in one half of the cycles, it is known as Half Wave Rectifier. Similarly, If a Rectifier does it's operation in both the half cycles, it is known as Full Wave Rectifier.

What is rectified turpentine?
previous answer: "i think its like from a mineral but like more refined than normal minertal turps. what do you rekon" There are several types of turpentine. Rectified turpent…ine is, arguably, a bit of a misnomer when it comes to 'true' turpentine. While regular or distilled turpentine is the sap from a tree (normally pine) tapped in a similar manner to maple syrup, rectified turpentine goes through an entirely different process. Rectified turpentine is made by literally mashing up trunk, limbs and leaves of a tree, then steaming out the spirits. Because of this, rectified turpentine has water, and therefore excess oxygen which can cause undesireable drying patterns in projects or art. Hope this helps! - Krystalanna

This is a discussion on New LCP Failure to Feed JHP ammo within the General LCP Discussion forums, part of the LCP Pocket category; Thanks again, I think it was the 'low recoil' ammo I was using. Just not enough recoil is generated to fully cycle the slide. --RSK...
Thanks again,
I think it was the 'low recoil' ammo I was using. Just not enough recoil is generated to fully cycle the slide.
I recently picked up a LCP for the wife.
I have not had a chance to get to the range yet. I already had some 380 ammo for a Bersa, so I thought I would try manually cycling some different types through it. The round nose Speer Lawman FMJ works perfectly. I next tried some Remington Golden Sabre and had problems chambering the first round. It seemed to be snagging on the feed ramp, so I polished it. That problem seemed to be solved. But, now it won't eject the first round, it gets hung part way back, the only way I can clear it is to drop the mag, then it ejects fine. I determined that problem to be the rear edge of the chambered round catching on the front edge of the next casing in the magazine. All of the 380 Golden Sabre rounds do not have the rear edge of the rim chamferred. The Speer Lawman does. I then tried some regular Remington JHP, and they work fine. Yep, they are chamferred, too.
I will try the Golden Sabre as soon as I can go to the range, maybe it will cycle fine when actually firing. But, if I can't clear a misfire round without dropping the mag, I would not trust it for a real stress situation. I plan to put a couple hundred rounds through it then maybe I will revisit the Golden Sabre.
I had similar issues with regular Hornady JHP getting stuck on the feed ramp, so I tried Hornady critical defense and it fed fine. The regular JHP has a fatter nose compared to the critical defense which is more tapered, so I think that may have contributed to my issues.
I tried a couple of mags of Hornady Critical Defense and it seems to work fine. I've ordered some more so I can build up a little more confidence it it.
All of the larger cavity hollow points seem to have issues with feeding. Federal Hydra Shock also does not work for me.
I had the opposite issue. Ball fed for crap, double feed, or failure to go into battery quite a few times in a 50 round session. My chosen Carry round the Hornady Critical Defense Fed fine?
I haven't had trouble cycling anything. Federals work fine in mine. The only ammo I've had an issue with were some green box Remington bulk. The primers were too hard. Would fire on the second hammer fall. Back to the OP.......sounds like a magazine problem. I'd recommend everyone take their mags apart for a good inspection and cleaning on a regular basis. Magazines are as important on a semi auto as any other part. M1911
Mine did the same thing with Horandy Critical Defense..I polished the feed ramp
and the problem was solved...
FWIW. You guys read about my failure to feed and Rugers 1st response. Well, their 2nd response (when the gun did not feed Gold Dots, hollow points) was to e mail me a return UPS postage slip. Sent the gun in, they replaced the slide and ran 30 rounds of Black Hills Gold thru it and sent it right back. Works perfect now! These Nano guns are pretty picky! They are awful small and things gotta be just right. Of course if you limp wrist it, nothing will probably work.
BTW, very happy with Rugers response. Musta got a newbie the first call or she was having a bad day
A bit more of the history of mine. The original problems I had were with manually cycling some Remington Golden Saber. The first problem - chambering a round - was fixed as far as I can tell by polishing the feed ramp. The edge of the hollowpoint cavity seemed to be hanging on the feed ram.
The second problem was that I could not reliably cycle the LCP manually with this ammo. During extraction, the rear edge of the rim of the chambered round seemed to be snagging on the front edge of the next casing in the magazine. I now believe this is the root of the problem I am having with other ammo. The symptom is FTE or "double feed". Everytime the gun now jams, the spent casing is part way out of the chamber, the slide is all the way back and is trying to push a round out of the magazine. I have to push that round back down into the magazine so the slide can go forward to catch the spent casing again.
Today I tried a few things to test my theory, and I think I can accurately predict if a given ammo will work or not. Some ammo has a small chamfered edge on the rear of the rim. These will work. Some do not have a chamfered rim, and these will not work. It makes sense. The chamfered edge will allow the rim to ride over the next casing, the ones not chamfered will sometimes hang, usually at least once per mag.
I looked at all the ammo that works, and all (that I have left) that don't work, and they follow this theory completely.
FWIW, one more ammo that I tried today that works is the Winchester white box FMJ 100 round bulk that I bought at Walmart. This will be my practice ammo now. Hornady Critical Defense will be EDC.
I may contact Ruger and mention this. Maybe they know about it, maybe not, but think it is worth mentioning.

Results: CWFC Fight Night 11
The Cage Warriors Fight Night 11 main event between Jack Mason and Patrick Vallee was one of the more competitive bouts of the evening, but the end result saw Mason take home a unanimous-decision win.
While Mason earned 30-27 scorecards from two of the judges and a 29-28 from the other, the welterweight headliner was much closer than the final tallies suggest.
Mason (27-13) and Vallee (10-6-1) went toe-to-toe for the majority of the three-round affair, each having several moments of success in the striking range. However, "The Stone" proved to be the more diverse fighter with takedowns between those successes on the feet and ultimately took the victory.
The Englishman had pressure to avoid a second consecutive defeat after losing his previous bout in March. Fortunately, he got back on the winning track in the fourteenth Cage Warriors appearance of his career.
Marat Pekov (12-5) was cruising to what was very likely going to be a dominant decision win against Brian Moore (7-4) – until disaster struck.
In the third round, Pekov threw an illegal knee to the head of his downed opponent. The strike resulted in a two-point deduction, essentially negating all of Pekov's work. Unless he got a finish, the bout was on its way to being a draw.
Pekov, though, got the needed finish with less than 30 seconds left in the final frame as he took the back and pounded on Moore until the referee stopped the fight.
Jack Hermansson (7-2) was in deep trouble in the first round when he was knocked down and nearly finished by Ion Pascu (8-5). However, instead of taking the easy out, Hermansson fought hard in the second and third rounds to get the decision.
The second round was close and could have easily gone either way, but all three judges saw it for Hermansson, which was the deciding factor in his victory.
Tahar Hadbi (10-5) was one step ahead of Michael "Black Death" Johnson (9-7) from start to finish en route to a clear-cut decision victory.
Johnson hung in there for all three rounds but had little to offer as Hadbi out-landed and out-grappled him. It wasn't the most exciting contest of the event, but Hadbi proved the superior fighter and got 15 minutes of valuable experience inside the cage.
It took Arnold Allen (7-0) less than a minute to earn his latest victory and keep his undefeated MMA record in tact, this time against an overmatched Tobias Huber (5-5).
It was short and sweet as Allen attacked Huber with a vicious onslaught of punches while his opponent hugged the leg in desperate search for a takedown.
Allen has finished all but one of his professional fights, but his victory over Huber was easily his shortest thus far.
Everything was going according to plan for John Redmond (5-8). He took Craig White (7-5) to the ground, dominated position and nearly finished the fight. However, one knee changed everything.
White landed a knee to Redmond's face early in the second round and opened a gruesome gash on his forehead. The referee stepped in to check the cut and needed just seconds to wave off the fight.

enCoRe III design fails USB compliance, specifically signal rate in the electrical test | Cypress Semiconductor
Support & Community
enCoRe III design fails USB compliance, specifically signal rate in the electrical test
enCoRe III design fails USB compliance, specifically signal rate in the electrical test. Is there a fix implemented for this?
Yes, the firmware fix requires changes to be made to the USB_RESET ISR. This issue is only seen when using PSoC Designer versions 4.3 and above and below PSoC Designer 5.1 FCS. From PSoC Designer 5.1 FCS, this issue has been fixed in the user module itself.
Cause: The USB_Start function uses 2 parameters, USB Current Device and Supply voltage setting.
void USBFS_Start(bDevice, bMode)
bDevice: Current device(if only 1 device : 0)
bMode: Supply voltage level: 3V or 5V
Assembly: Accumulator holds current device and X holds voltage setting
mov A, 0
mov X, USBFS_5V_OPERATION
call USBFS_Start
The defines for supply voltage setting (5V and 3V) also contains bit setting for a 'Enable Lock' feature. This 'Enable Lock' feature is what aids the internal oscillator (IMO) to lock onto incoming USB traffic and improve its accuracy to +/-0.25% of 12MHz. USB specification also requires full-speed devices to clock with this accuracy.
#define values for:
USBFS_3V_OPERATION: 0x02
USBFS_5V_OPERATION: 0x03
Bit [1] in this setting is what holds the ?enable lock? bit. Bit [0] is to enable the PHY regulator (5V to 3.3V) when operating with 5V supply voltage. This byte is written to reg[USB_CR1] at location 1,C1h in the USB_Start function. So, initially when this function is called the ?Enable Lock? bit is set.
However, all USB hosts issue a 'USB Reset' after they detect connection and after getting the device descriptor. This is a part of the enumeration process. The standard/default USB Reset ISR has a call to USB_Start, but we fail to pass the 'lock bit' setting before we call USB_Start. The ISR code checks to see if we are operating at 3V or 5V, but clears the 'Enable Lock' setting before it loads this value to register 'X' to be used by USB_Start.
push A
push X
mov A, reg[USB_USB_CR1] ; Get the RegEnable
and A, 0x01 ; mask off the RegEnable bit
mov X, A ; save value in X
mov A, [USB_bCurrentDevice] ; Select the current device
lcall _USB_Start ; Restart USB
pop X
pop A
The highlighted line shows that the value read out of reg[USB_CR1] is masked for only bit[0] before passing the value to register X.
The fix involves modification to the Standard USB Reset ISR - Ensure that the 'lock bit' is set in the USB Reset ISR before calling USB_Start.
To ensure the changes are not wiped out when a 'Generate Application' is done, paste the below code fragment in the protected section(Between the lines - Insert your custom code below this banner & Insert your custom code above this banner) of the USB_RESET_ISR in the usbfsint.asm file (under library source).
Make sure the default STD_USB_RESET: EQU 1 is equated to '0' in the ISR (This is already done in the below code snippet).
;@PSoC_UserCode_BODY_USB_RESET@ (Do not change this line.)
; Insert your custom code below this banner
; NOTE: interrupt service routines must preserve
; the values of the A and X CPU registers.
STD_USB_RESET: EQU 0 ; Set this equate to 0 to remove the standard
; USB reset handling code below
push A
push X
mov A, reg[USBFS_1_USB_CR1] ; Get the RegEnable
and A, 0x03 ; mask off the RegEnable and EnableLock bits
mov X, A ; save value in X
mov A, [USBFS_1_bCurrentDevice] ; Select the current device
lcall _USBFS_1_Start ; Restart USB
pop X
pop A
; Insert your custom code above this banner
;@PSoC_UserCode_END@ (Do not change this line
NOTE : This fix is applicable only for enCore-III Devices and not required for enCore-V devices.
