Bionic eye implants approved
Bionic eye implants approved
14 Feb 2013
WASHINGTON Adults with a rare eye disease may regain the ability to do daily tasks such as walking on the sidewalk from the first implanted artificial retina to win U.S. regulatory approval.
The Food and Drug Administration cleared the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System from closely held Sylmar, Calif.- based Second Sight Medical Products Inc. to replace the function of degenerated cells in the retina, the agency said Thursday in a statement. The system helps adult patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa, which damages light-sensitive cells that line the retina located at the back of the eye, causing a gradual loss of vision that may lead to blindness.
The device consists of a video camera, a transmitter mounted on a pair of eyeglasses, a video processing unit and an implanted retinal prosthesis. The processing unit transforms images into electronic data that is transmitted to the artificial retina, the FDA said.
This is a game changer in sight-affecting diseases, that represents a huge step forward for the field and for these patients who were without any available treatment options until now, Robert Greenberg, president and chief executive officer of Second Sight, said in a statement.
The system wont restore sight. It gives patients the ability to perceive the difference between light and dark, the FDA said. A clinical study of 30 people showed the Argus helped patients recognize large letters or words, detect street curbs, walk on a sidewalk without falling and match black, gray and white socks.
Of the 30 patients in the study who were followed for two years, 19 experienced no side effects, while others experienced adverse events such as retina detachment, surgical wounds that split open and erosion of the clear covering of their eyeballs.
The Department of Energy, the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation collaborated to provide $100 million to support the development of the Argus system, the FDA said.
John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Joh_8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
'Bionic Eyes' Help People With Genetic Blindness
People who have lost their vision as a result of a rare genetic disease may soon be able to have some of their sight restored, thanks to the first FDA-approved eye implant.
The implant, named the Argus II, works to wirelessly transmit images to the brain through a video camera and transmitter on a pair of glasses.
The FDA approved the device from Second Sight Medical Products for patients 25 years and older Thursday, The Associated Press reported.
While the implant does not restore vision
, the FDA said
the device might help the blind to see by allowing them "to detect light and dark in the environment
Dr. Mark Humayn, who has been working on the Argus II for the past 25 years, told "Good Morning America" he committed himself "to developing a new way and a new approach so that those that are blind can have a foreseeable solution."
"One of the things I can do now is laundry," Kathy Blake told "Good Morning America." "My husband had to put the colored clothing in, and with the glasses, I'm able to do that myself."
Blake, 61, who has been blind for 23 years, underwent a two-hour surgery and said she now uses the glasses to "help [her] be more outdoor with mobility, walking."
The device is only approved for retintis pigmentosa, a disorder that causes gradual blindness and affects 100,0000 people in the United States.
If successful, the device could eventually be used to treat millions with other vision disorders.
"I think that the future for this is going to be big," Blake said.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Michigan man among 1st in US to get 'bionic eye'
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) A degenerative eye disease slowly robbed Roger Pontz of his vision.
Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa as a teenager, Pontz has been almost completely blind for years. Now, thanks to a high-tech procedure that involved the surgical implantation of a "bionic eye," he has regained enough of his eyesight to catch small glimpses of his wife, grandson and cat.
"It's awesome. It's exciting seeing something new every day," Pontz said during a recent appointment at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. The 55-year-old former competitive weightlifter and factory worker
is one of four people in the U.S. to receive an artificial retina since
the Food and Drug Administration
signed off on its use last year
The facility in Ann Arbor has been the site of all four such surgeries since FDA approval. A fifth is scheduled for next month.
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited disease that causes slow but progressive vision loss due to a gradual loss of the light-sensitive retinal cells called rods and cones. Patients experience loss of side vision and night vision, then central vision, which can result in near blindness.
Not all of the 100,000 or so people in the U.S. with retinitis pigmentosa can benefit from the bionic eye. An estimated 10,000 have vision low enough, said Dr. Brian Mech, an executive with Second Sight Medical Products Inc., the Sylmar, Calif.-based company that makes the device. Of those, about 7,500 are eligible for the surgery
The artificial implant in Pontz's left eye is part of a system developed by Second Sight that includes a small video camera and transmitter housed in a pair of glasses.
Images from the camera are converted into a series of electrical pulses that are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes on the surface of the retina. The pulses stimulate the retina's remaining healthy cells, causing them to relay the signal to the optic nerve
The visual information then moves to the brain
, where it is translated into patterns of light that can be recognized and interpreted, allowing the patient to regain some visual function
When wearing the glasses, which Pontz refers to as his "eyes," he can identify and grab his cat and figure out that a flash of light is his grandson hightailing it to the kitchen.
The visual improvement is sometimes startling for Pontz and his wife, Terri, who is just as amazed at her husband's progress as he is.
"I said something I never thought I'd say: 'Stop staring at me while I'm eating,'" Terri Pontz said.
She drives her husband the nearly 200 miles from tiny Reed City, Mich., to Ann Arbor for check-ups and visits with occupational therapist Ashley Howson, who helps Roger Pontz reawaken his visual memory and learn techniques needed to make the most of his new vision.
At the recent visit, Howson handed Pontz white and black plates, instructed him to move them back and forth in front of light and dark backgrounds and asked that he determine their color.
Back home, Terri Pontz helps her husband practice the techniques he learns in Ann Arbor.
For them, the long hours on the road and the homework assignments are a blessing.
"What's it worth to see again? It's worth everything," Terri Pontz said.
The artificial retina procedure has been performed several-dozen times over the past few years in Europe, and the expectation is that it will find similar success in the U.S., where the University of Michigan is one of 12 centers accepting consultations for patients.
Candidates for the retinal prosthesis must be 25 or older with end-stage retinitis pigmentosa that has progressed to the point of having "bare light" or no light perception in both eyes.
Dr. Thiran Jayasundera, one of two physicians who performed the 4.5-hour surgery on Roger Pontz, is scheduled to discuss his experiences with the retinal prosthesis process during a meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery on Friday in Boston. He calls it a "game-changer."
Pontz agrees: "I can walk through the house with ease. If that's all I get out of this, it'd be great."
John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Joh 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

There are few debates I find less interesting than iPhone/Blackberry, but then again not everyone agrees that analyzing how two separate teams of writers could independently come up with The Munsters and The Addams Family at the exact same time remains one of the more puzzling questions of our age.
Still, Patrick J. O'Connor has a strong opinion on whether using an iPhone makes you look like a frivolous, pleasure-seeking lightweight:
Yet O'Connor adds that the type of mobile device one uses can still play an important role in how other people perceive you. "I think there has been a perception in the legal community that the BlackBerry is a more professional device," he says. "Traditionally, the iPhone was [seen as a device] for gaming and entertainment applications, and the BlackBerry was the device you really do business on.""Obscure gadget brand"? Heavens forbid!.
But O'Connor notes that perceptions often change over time, and that devices that once suggested a degree of unprofessionalism can suddenly become not only acceptable, but popular and desirable. "The majority of attorneys that I deal with day in and day out now seem to have iPhones, and there seems to be no problem with that," he says. On the other hand, attorneys thinking about using a bargain or obscure gadget brand may still want to think twice about the acquisition before straying from the pack.
Get me the McDonalds of smart phones, or get me nothing at all.
(BTW, I have a feeling Scott Rothstein would not approve of Patrick's goatee!)
I seem to have The Munsters on the brain today, guess that means I'm "straying from the pack":

Reading can become an even bigger battle in middle school, especially for kids with learning and attention issues. Your child may need more encouragement than ever. Use these strategies to motivate her to read more.
The books your child is drawn to might not be your favorites, but don't criticize her choices. Reading is reading. Show your child that you respect her judgment and accept her preferences. If she's reluctant to read, allowing her some control over what she reads can go a long way toward increasing her motivation.
What is your child interested in? Skylanders? Frozen? Boy bands? Whatever it is, connect it to reading. Find books, magazines or articles on her favorite topics. And look for different formats that may be more accessible to kids with learning and attention issues, such as graphic novels or eBooks with audio support. It's also a good idea to find material that is the right reading level for her. If it's too hard, she might get discouraged.
The more your child sees you reading, the more likely she'll be to follow suit. In middle school, she may resist doing what you tell her to do. But she's still likely to imitate what she sees you do. If you've struggled with reading, it may be helpful to talk to your child about your experiences and the strategies you've used to overcome these challenges.
Set aside a designated time when your whole family can read. Carve out an hour on Sunday morning, for example, when everyone sits together and reads whatever they choose. This can help reinforce how important reading is for everyone—and help make it a habit. Remember not to judge your child's choices. Make the message clear, especially for struggling and reluctant readers, that any reading is good reading.
If your middle-school child struggles with reading, help make the task less threatening. You don't want her to feel scared or intimidated, so keep things positive. You can do this by allowing her to take baby steps and trying not to criticize too much. Validate your child's choices, and notice and praise her progress. You can support your child best by meeting her where she is, not by acting disappointed if she isn't yet where you want her to be.
Encourage your middle-schooler to read the first book in a series. If she gets hooked by the first book, she can follow the same characters or themes in subsequent books. It's great motivation for reluctant readers to pick up another book right after they've just finished one. Kids with learning and attention issues may feel anxious or fearful about starting new books, but reading another book in a familiar series can help erase those negative feelings.
Every so often surprise your child with fun books—little presents out of the blue. This helps create the sense that books are exciting and desirable. For kids with reading issues, it's helpful to choose books about their favorite interests. For example, if your child loves sports or film stars, give her books that tap into those topics.
Middle school students want to feel grown-up and mature. Treat your child that way and she's likely to rise to the occasion. Ask tough questions about the books your child reads. Debate different points of view. If she has issues reading text but can understand higher-level ideas, you can facilitate discussions by sharing the task of reading with her or helping her find the right assistive technology and then discussing the material together afterward.
Kids who are frustrated with school often ask "Why do I need to learn this?" When it comes to reading, the answer to this question is easy: Your child needs to read in order to learn everything else she wants to know. For example, if your child really likes science, make clear to her that even hands-on science involves some reading. Help your child understand that she can overcome her struggles with reading through practice. And let her know why her effort will be worth it!
Leverage your child's interest in social media and texting. Even if the content isn't educational, these formats can give your child reading practice in a way that doesn't feel like work. Create mini-assignments that can help your child follow along. For example, you can work together to come up with a list of abbreviations or alternate spellings that are commonly used in texts. Helping your child understand what she's reading can make her feel more confident about joining the conversation.
Use these strategies to help make reading familiar and fun for your preschooler. These tips can also help kids with learning and attention issues start to work on foundational skills needed to become good readers.
If your teen struggles with reading, getting her to sit down and actually do it can be challenging. But it doesn't have to be a battle. Use these strategies to encourage her to read more.

This seems appropriate to the occasion as well as being an homage to the teaming of Daniel Widmore and Drive Shaft.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, A lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight. Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

Townsend's big-eared bat
|Townsend's big-eared bat
|Scientific classification
|C. townsendii
|Binomial name
|Corynorhinus (Plecotus) townsendii
Cooper, 1837
Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii) is a species of vesper bat.
Townsend's big-eared bat is a medium-sized bat (7-12 g)[2] with extremely long, flexible ears, and small yet noticeable lumps on each side of the snout. Its total length is around 10 cm (4 in.), its tail being around 5 cm (2 in) Its wingspan is about 28 cm (11 in).
C. townsendii can be found in Canada, Mexico, and United States.[1]
The mating season for the Townsend's big-eared bat takes place in late fall. As with many other bat species, the female stores sperm in her reproductive tract after mating, and fertilization occurs in the spring. Gestation lasts from 50 to 60 days. As with other bat species, pups are born without the ability to fly. Only one pup is birthed per female.[3] One study found the average lifespan of a Townsend's big-eared bat to be 16 years.[4] This bat requires large cavities for roosting; these may include abandoned buildings and mines, caves, and basal cavities of trees.[2] During the summer, males and females occupy separate roosting sites; males are typically solitary, while females form maternity colonies, where they raise their pups. A maternity colony may range in size from 12 bats to 200, although in the eastern United States, colonies of 1,000 or more have been formed.[2] During the winter, these bats hibernate, often when temperatures are around 32 to 53 °F (around 0 °C to 11.5 °C.) Hibernation occurs in tightly packed clusters, which could possibly help stabilize body temperatures against the cold. Males often hibernate in warmer places than females and are more easily aroused and active in winter than females. The bats are often interrupted from their sleep because they tend to wake up frequently and move around in the cave or move from one cave entirely to another. Before hibernation, C. townsendii individuals increase their body mass to compensate for the food they do not eat during the winter.[2]
Diet and echolocation[edit]
This species is a moth specialist, and may feed almost exclusively on Lepidoptera.[5] However, this species' diet may include small moths, flies, lacewings, dung beetles, sawflies, and other small insects.[2] This species is a whisper bat, which means that it echolocates at much lower intensities than other bats and may be difficult to record using a bat detector. This may be in part because this species specializes on moths, and some moths have the ability to hear bats and may produce their own noises to 'jam' a bat's echolocation in an effort to thwart predation.
Four subspecies exist:
- C. t. townsendii - Townsend's big-eared bat
- C. t. ingens - Ozark big-eared bat (federally endangered)[6]
- C. t. pallescens - western big-eared bat
- C. t. virginianus - Virginia big-eared bat (federally endangered),[7] the Virginia state bat

THE Ministry of Defence is to officially recognise Gulf War Syndrome following a 17-year campaign by ex-servicemen.
Defence Minister Lord Drayson made the admission in a `grovelling apology' to Manchester peer Lord Morris, who has led the way in highlighting problems faced by veterans of the 1990-91 conflict.
Lord Drayson said: "The issue of Gulf War Syndrome will be fully recognised by the Ministry of Defence and I accept on behalf of the MoD that this issue has not been handled well from the beginning.
"The department was slow to recognise the emerging ill- health issues and to put measures in place to address them. We have apologised for this and I repeat that apology today."
Some peers believe that what Lord Craig suggested was a `belated apology' was influenced by Gordon Brown who took a different view to his predecessor Tony Blair about the `undiagnosed' illnesses suffered by veterans.
Lord Morris, former MP for Wythenshawe, called for official recognition of the syndrome in the Lords, saying it was disquieting that 17 years on from the conflict wrangling with veterans over pensions still drags on, with no visible sign of closure.
He said it was deeply shaming that one Gulf War veteran, Terence Walker, had his pension slashed from 100 per cent to 40 per cent and died shortly after `in financial ruin'.
Lord Drayson said the MoD had written to veterans to tell them they can use the label Gulf War Syndrome and are now working with experts to develop a rehabilitation programme.
Lord Morris said later: "Nobody has ever before now said sorry to those veterans left in broken health and those bereaved after the most toxic war in British history."
Following a landmark ex-serviceman's pension tribunal appeal in October 2005 the MoD has accepted gulf war syndrome as a "useful umbrella term" for conditions which are linked to the 1990/91 gulf conflict however they do not accept it exists as a separate disease.
An MoD spokesman said: "We have long accepted some veterans of the 1990/91 gulf conflict are ill and some of their ill health is related to their services."

"Receptionist attitude"
About: Lincoln County Hospital / Dermatology Lincoln County Hospital Dermatology LN2 5QY
Posted by Rocke (as ),
I am writing to complain about my reception at the dermatology department in Lincoln county hospital.
Before I explain how I thought the receptionist in the dermatology department reception was rude, ignorant and unhelpful toward me, I would like to say the doctor and nurse I saw were excellent. The clinical staff were friendly professional and competent and I was very pleased with the clinical service.
In my opinion, the receptionist was patronising unprofessional and upset me greatly. Their manner was rude and belittling, I did wonder if there was a hidden camera and it was a candied camera joke. It was not funny and made a already stressful situation far worse.
When I found my way through the hospital to what I thought was the dermatology department there was no sign I could see only a small reception window.
I handed my appoint letter to the receptionist and I asked whether that was the place I was supposed to be for the appointment, to which they looked at the paper and asked me whether I could see that it said "dermatology" at the top of the letter.
Well obviously it did as the receptionist could see the letter but I had no idea if this was the dermatology department or if this was the correct reception window. But I said "yes"
The patronising attitude continued as I was told that it was obviously the dermatology department then.
This of course was no help as I just wanted to book in but I continued and asked whether I can book an appointment.
I couldn't believe but I was then asked whether I have booked already. Well clearly if I didn't know if this was the department and I was asking if I could book in here I thought it was obvious I hadn't.
So I was a bit taken aback but said that I hadn't and I was told that in that case I could book in, but still didn't book me in even though my appointment letter was there just continued to do something else until I had to ask again.
I thought it was just so patronising and so unhelpful, I had to read out my details and was finally begrudgingly booked in.
All hospital appointments are stressful for the patient, when the test is to see if a skin lesion is cancer it is already a worrying experience the last thing needed is a patronising jobs worth receptionist deliberately trying to be unhelpful and ignorant.
I would like to complain in the strongest possible terms about the conduct of the receptionist. But remembering that the clinical staff were very good
Response from United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust 14 months ago
Dear Rocke
Many thanks for your comment on Patient Opinion.
I would like to apologise for the way you felt during your visit to the dermatology department. The behaviour of the receptionist is clearly not acceptable, and is certainly not in line with the standards the Trust expects its team members to display.
In order for me to look into it further I would like to ask that you contact me on email@example.com with details of the date and time of your attendance, and your name and date of birth.
Once again, please accept my sincere apologies.
Kind regards,
Sam Daniels – Outpatient Matron

Attendees: Michael Bouschen, Matthew Adams, Michelle Caisse, Craig Russell Agenda: 1. log4j class loader, no enhancer log output with maven 2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-706? There are several bugs when the tck is run. May be a class path or class loader problem. Can anyone else apply the patch and see what happens? The tck without the patch runs but runonce fails. 2. API build failure when using JDK 1.7. The compiler complains about "naked" template classes, e.g. Class<?> in JDOHelper. NOTE: The JDK 1.7 compiler has changed the stack frame layout. There will be real work to upgrade to 1.7 for enhancement. 3. SignatureTest failure for method Discriminator.discriminatorColumnName(), patch available for review: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-713 Patch looks good. Note that the signature checker validates that the default value for the discriminator is a discriminator annotation, but does not validate that the value of the discriminator has the default values. 4. What's needed to release 3.1? Go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10630 , click "Issues" in the menu on the left and then click "JDO 3 maintenance release 1 (3.1)" under "Unresolved: By Version" News on License for FrameMaker? No reply on the FrameMaker license. AI Craig try with another Adobe person. 5. Other issues Message from Henk Penning re bad signature in distribution. The issue was a bad KEYS.asc which is not a file that is needed anyway. The assumption is that the file had not been updated when the KEYS file was updated. The KEYS.asc file needs to be removed. AI volunteer remove the KEYS.asc file from where Henk moved it. [April 8 2011] AI Craig comment on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-617 re the utility of the update operator. Really?

Part 3 Summary
As an April Fool's joke, Pran pretends to get a phone call saying that Lata has eloped with Maan. Pran finds that no one appreciates his gag and makes efforts to apologize. As a way of making up, Pran takes the women to the movies where they have a confrontation with a man creating a disturbance in the theater. It turns out that the man is Rupa's father. The awkward situation continues into the lobby where Lata faces the old question from her grandfather as to why she is not married. Back at school, Lata suffers a complete block as she stares at the questions on her English exam. Outside the exam, Lata meets up with Kabir again by accident. Lata goes to her friend Malati where they discuss Lata's interest in the boy from the bookstore. Two days later, Lata and Malati run into the handsome boy again at a music recital. Malati recognizes that Lata is falling in love with Kabir. She begins by meeting him at a poetry club gathering which soon graduates into walks and eventually a river boat trip to Barsaat Mahal. The two young people fall in love in spite of Lata's discovery that he is Muslim. She confides in her sister, Savita, who advises that she not tell their mother. Gossip, however, travels fast and Mrs. Rupa Mehra soon learns of the situation which she fears will forever spoil any chances of marrying Lata off to a suitable boy. Mrs. Rupa carts Lata off quickly to Calcutta.
Part 3 Analysis
In this chapter, as well as in other parts of the novel, Seth describes various Hindu celebrations. The action centers around the Mehra family and the Kapoor family that draws a comparison between Lata Mehra and Maan Kapoor to point out the different social standards of behavior allowed boys and girls. Lata's behavior with Kabir alarms Rupa so much that she carts Lata off to Calcutta the moment she finds out about Lata and her Muslim friend. Maan, on the other hand, continues his infatuation with the courtesan, Saeeda Bai, with only a bit of gossip but without the stigma attached to an unmarried woman. The romantic site, the Barsaat Mahal, represents both lovers and the lovelorn. It is a sight that draws Lata and Kabir more closely together, but it is a place Firoz jokingly refers to as a place to commit suicide.

Solar panels are a great way to supplement your own energy supply and lower your carbon footprint. In order for your solar panels to work effectively, they need to be able to capture as much sun as possible. Over time, buildup of dirt and grime is inevitable and will cause the output of your panels to drop. Cleaning your solar panels periodically will ensure optimum output and extend their longevity.
Things You'll Need
- Ladder
- Water bucket
- Water
- Cleaning soap
- Sponge
- Towel
Check the panels for exposed wires or cracks before you begin washing. If there are any and you are not able to fix them yourself, call a technician to do it.
Fill your bucket with warm water and your cleaning solution. Any streak-free cleaning solution will work fine and should be safe for your solar panels.
Wash the solar panels with the water-and-cleaner mixture, carefully removing any visible dirt and grime. Gentle scrubbing may be necessary.
Dry your panels gently with a towel. Make sure the towel does not scratch the panels. A chamois that you would use for a car is a good choice.
Tips & Warnings
- In order to avoid having to climb onto the roof just to see if the panels need to be washed, make a record of their power output after the cleaning. When you see the output drop considerably, you'll know it's time to clean your panels again.
- Solar panels are fairly delicate, so be sure you do not put too much pressure on them---they may crack. Walking and kneeling on your solar panels will likely break them. Also, when working on your roof, it is a good idea to use a harness or other safety device to catch you in the event of a fall.

Hi there,
I have a user despite telling her a million times not to logon to more than one computer at a time, she does. Every few days and what happens is in outlook she gets her mail folder but the info address mailbox goes and i have to re add it. I know there are places where you can only get one person to log into one computer at a time, how would i do this?
I am running sbs 2008 r2, the computers are all XP Pro SP3 apart form the odd W7P (but these do not matter)

Can't rememeber specifically for SBS but in AD you would normally do it on the users account (log on to was one of the options under the account tab).
edit:- may of misread what you put - my solution restricts a user to a single machine. Not sure if there is one to restrict single sign on or not.
Aug 3, 2011 at 8:55 UTC
Go into active directory users and computers. Open up the users account and go to the account tab. Click the "log on to" button and specify any computers the user should be able to log in on.
Aug 3, 2011 at 9:15 UTC
the other solutions are good, but they limit the user to a specific workstation. If you don't care where the user logs in, just so long as they're only logged in in one place at a time, it's a little more of an issue...
Aug 3, 2011 at 9:16 UTC
Thanks for the replies,
maybe i wasnt that clear, i just want it so that if one user is logged on one computer, she cant then get up walk to another and login for a second time until she logs out of the first
Aug 3, 2011 at 9:20 UTC
I know Novell used to do it but their implementation was ropey at best and people were often complaining as message saying they are logged on even when not. I didn't think there was a way in AD but your article answers that for me also - good to know :-)

The importance of calcium from eggshell
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our body.
While most of our calcium resides in our bones and teeth, it's also important for muscle contraction, nerve health, enzyme activity and cell formation. High-quality eggshells contain 27 essential microelements but they're mostly composed of calcium carbonate, a form and structure that's very similar to our bones and teeth.
Eggshell powder reduced pain from osteoarthritis, increased mobility and stopped loss of bone density in post-menopausal women who participated in a study published in 2003 in the International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology Research, lead by J. Rovensky of the National Institute of Rheumatic Diseases.
The membranes of egg shells are loaded with substances like glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and collagen. These two components are known to improve the elasticity of the joints and shock absorption.
Several researchers around the world have also claimed that consumption of egg shells can effectively treat osteoporosis.
According to researchers, egg shell membranes help with symptoms associated with knee osteoarthritis. Study has shown that natural egg shell supplements are extremely beneficial for the reduction of pain and stiffness in the knee. In addition to this, scientists have also stated that supplements made from egg shell membrane are safe for they do not cause the harmful side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used during the treatment of osteoarthritis.
BoniumMaxx is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium ( women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone).

This invention relates to membrane switches and particularly to membrane switches requiring a sensitive, or low force, actuation for use in conjunction with instructive overlays.
Membrane switches are widely used as a special type of keyboard for calculators, computers, input devices for manipulating equipment and machinery, and for educational purposes. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,360,716 granted Nov. 23, 1982, such a switch is shown in conjunction with a learning aid wherein a template having symbols thereon is laid over the switch so that an operator, when touching such symbols, will activate such switch. This patent includes a teaching of providing conductive traces on the inner surfaces of plastic sheets held apart by screened or coated insulating dots or points on spaced centers; the combination providing what is called a broad area actuated switch. This means that relatively broad areas of switch action are defined by the conductive traces rather than specific points.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,391,845 issued July 5, 1983, there is a membrane switch disclosed which is a point-type switch, meaning that the switch contains a number of discrete switch points, each of which is typically associated with a symbol such as one through ten or zero or a letter, or some other such instructive symbol. The 4,391,845 patent teaches the use of spacer areas which are separated from the contact paths, or traces of the switch, and which, in this patent, may be made of insulating materials screened or coated to be isolated from conductive traces. These isolated traces are taught as being built up of layers which may be either conductive ink as a first layer or have additional layers of nonconductive ink and/or an adhesive material.
These patents form a background for the present invention which has as its object the provision of a membrane switch having only two plastic layers and screen printed conductive traces with screen printed insulating spacers in conjunction with a coating carrying symbols and instructions arranged to be sufficiently thin and responsive to touch as to be actuated through multiple pages laid over the top of the switch in the manner of a book. It is a further object of the invention to provide a low-cost and sensitive membrane switch for use in conjunction with instructive aids which minimizes the use of insulating sheets of which the switch contains only two, and therefore the associated labor required by the object of the invention to provide a membrane switch which can be fabricated by a variety of processing steps, including printing, screening, lithography for both appearance and symbol purposes, and for conductive and insulating traces and moreover, wherein the various coatings are protected against wear, moisture and damage by being within the envelope of the membrane switch.
This invention relates to a method and apparatus. The method here taught embraces the steps of printing, screening, or coating a thin, flexible membrane sheet of plastic material in a variety of steps and colors forming indicia in terms of symbols, instructions, and with decorative appearance and thereafter over the top of such coating, screening or printing layers of conductive, insulating, and adhesive materials to form an area switch network. The method provides the basis of a membrane switch which is thinner than heretofore used wherein such instructive coatings were typically on the opposite side of the switch coatings, or outside of the switch envelope and required a protective film layer thus rendering a laminated construction less flexible than desired. The apparatus of the invention embraces a membrane switch of the area variety which contains only two layers of plastic sheet material with the rest of the switch including symbols and instructions, conductive traces and insulation spacers and adhesives being achieved through multi-pass printing or screening to define extremely thin coatings allowing for optimum sensitivity. This sensitivity to the touch of an operator allows use of the switch with the so-called "talking book" applications wherein books of up to 12 or more pages of thin paper or plastic may be laid over the membrane switch and the switch activated by pressing through the sheets of the book. Other switch functions are provided in addition to the area switches for responsive instructions, such as yes, no, on, off inputs.
FIG. 1 is a scaled down perspective of the switch of the invention shown in conjunction with one preferred use, the various elements exploded for clarity;
FIG. 2 is a schematic, exploded cross-sectional view of the various layers and coatings comprising the switch of the invention shown much enlarged from actual size;
FIG. 3 is a view of the switch component shown in FIG. 2, but assembled as in actual use with the finger of an operator effecting switch closure;
FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are plan views of a portion of the membrane part of the switch, showing respectively three of the coatings employed;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the membrane side of the switch showing several representative coatings, and in addition, conductive traces leading to a connector input and output area;
FIGS. 8, 9, 10, and 11 are plan views showing portions of the bottom, or fixed, part of the switch, showing various coatings employed to effect switch structure.
FIG. 12 is a plan view showing the assembly of coatings of FIGS. 8 through 11 in representation.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention in the form of a teaching aid, here stylized for use with pre-school learning levels, it being understood that the invention concepts have uses in a wide variety of applications wherein the same needs for sensitivity, and therefore thinness, of switch laminated structure obtain. As shown in FIG. 1, there is a "book" 12 made up of leaves, or sheets, 14 which typically are of thin paper or thin plastic having printed thereon symbols 15 forming indicia. The book 12 is designed to fit into a plastic frame 16, which itself fits over the top layer 30, which is the membrane part of the switch of the invention. The layer 30 in turn fits over and is laminated to the lower layer of the switch, such layer shown as 50, which itself is bonded to the flat top surface of a frame 70. In use, the layers 30 and 50 are bonded together and bonded to frame 70 with the frame 16 attached to frame 70 permanently. Electronic circuits may be contained beneath the upper surface of frame 70 including, for example, a speaker for audio output and various logic and memory circuits to facilitate the intended use of the device. The frame 16 includes separate apertures 20 which line up with switch areas 21, 22 on respective layers 30, 50, which form the membrane switch.
Each of the layers 30 and 50 includes tails shown as 48 and 64 which carry conductive traces to the conductive areas of the two layers respectively. As can be discerned in FIG. 1, the membrane switch layer 30 includes two broad areas A1 and A2 of switch location, such areas coinciding with the areas of symbols on the leaves 14 of book 12.
In use, the device 10 may be manipulated through instructions given aurally, and the manipulation of switches 21 which, in the embodiment shown, include four switch structures, in conjunction with the touching of the various symbols in book 12 which serve to close switches under such symbols through the membrane layer 30 and its associated layer 50.
Turning now to FIG. 2, a much enlarged and sectioned schematic reveals the layers 30 and 50 with the various coatings to be applied thereto shown separated. Layer 30 which is indeed the membrane or flexible part of the switch includes a sheet 32 of plastic insulating material which may be fabricated from a wide variety of sheet materials which are insulating and have good dielectric properties, are essentially transparent and clear, and adequately flexible to serve the switch function. The material Lexan, a polycarbonate manufactured by the General Electric Company was used in an actual embodiment, the material chosen being on the order of b 0.005 inches in thickness and of the so-called "velvet" type, having one side textured, the other side being smooth or slick and coated or printed upon to define half of the switch of the present invention. Such texturing is shown as 34 in FIG. 2. In accordance with the method of the invention, rolls or sheets of material 32 are fed through appropriate printing or screening equipments in a series of passes laying down a series of layers. In accordance with the invention, the first layer to be laid down is 36, and this layer is comprised of a series of printings or screenings shown as 38 to form the symbology and color of the switch to be seen through the top of the switch, and at the same time, protected by the sheet 32 against wear through use or damage by accident. In an actual embodiment, the colors laid down in order included yellow, blue, a light purple, and a dark purple, with a final screen barrier of off-white; the total thickness of such screenings being on the order of 0.00125 inches in thickness. Protection of instruction symbology and indeed of the switch structure itself is most particularly required in the switch points 21 which are directly engaged repeatedly in the use of device 10. Since the bulk of the actuation of the remaining areas is through leaves 14 of book 12, wear of the symbols is less relevant in this particular embodiment, but it is to be understood that the invention in this aspect embraces other applications where such wear is more critical.
The layer or coating 36, including the various steps of printing, may be achieved through standard silk-screening techniques, or even indeed, through lithographic multi-pass printing. A wide variety of colored and white inks of either the solvent or nonsolvent, ultraviolet curable types are available and known to those in the printing arts. Characteristics of stability, some flexibility, thinness, and insulating quality characterize the need for the printing forming the layer 36.
Next, in accordance with the method of the invention, a layer shown as 40 in FIGS. 2 and 4 is screen-printed on top of the layer 36 to form the bulk of the conductive array on the membrane part 30 of the switch. The pattern that is illustrated in FIG. 4 includes a series of bars 40a and a series of dots 40b interconnected to each other by small carbon or graphite traces 40d. Carbon and graphite inks readily commercially available, of the so-called solvated type are preferred, and when utilized with standard silk-screening techniques, one pass will provide a thickness of on the order of 0.0004 to 0.0006 inches in thickness, found adequate for the present use which calls for a carbon trace on the order of 0.050 inches in width and which, as will be described hereinafter, is made in conjunction with the more conductive traces of a silver composition ink. The dots 40b are on the order of 0.050 inches in width and by 0.050 inches in length; the same thickness being employed as they are laid down in the same pass as the legs 40a. Also shown in FIG. 4 are the separate switch points 21, including a carbon bar structure 40c and additional dots 40b.
The next step in accordance with the method of the invention is the printing as by screening of a conductive ink containing metal particles such as silver which is more conductive than that of the carbon traces of the layer 40. The more conductive layer is shown as 42 in FIGS. 2 and 5. As can be discerned in the latter Figure, the layer 42 includes a series of dots 42b screened on top of the dots 40b of the carbon layer 40. Additionally, are provided conductive traces 42a and 42c, which extend from the switch points 21 along the length membrane switch layer 32, being directly bonded to the surface of 32 to provide low resistance paths to such switch points. The conductive traces 42c which are laid down over portions of the carbon layer reduce the overall resistance of the path from the switch points formed by such layer to the sources of voltage for switches as connected through the tails 48 and 64 heretofore mentioned.
In an actual embodiment, the more conductive material was a DuPont silver ink known as 5007 which through normal silk-screening practice, provides a thickness on the order of 0.0005 inches and a conductivity many times that of carbon. As can be appreciated, the use of the silver ink in the manner disclosed optimizes the factors of low resistance and low cost, the bulk of the printed area being comprised of carbon. The width of the silver trace employed in this thickness is on the order of 0.025 inches.
Next, in accordance with the method of the invention, a layer of adhesive shown as 46 in FIG. 2 and in FIG. 6 is applied directly to the interior surface of layer 32. As can be seen in FIG. 6, the switch activation areas 21 are left free of adhesive. Certain of the traces 42a are, however, covered over by the adhesive and, while not shown altogether, it is to be understood that the free areas around the periphery of the switch, including the spine area 51 as shown in FIG. 1, are employed to accommodate the adhesive to get an effective laminated structure and sealing.
In FIG. 2, the lower or fixed portion of the membrane switch of the invention is shown including a plastic sheet 50 which, in the preferred embodiment, was constituted by a polyester film material such as Mylar from the DuPont Company, EL or D grade, on the order of 0.005 inches in thickness. The sheet 50 includes on the bottom surface thereof, as shown in FIG. 2, a layer of adhesive 52 which is typically 0.001 inches in thickness of a screen permeable rubber-based material, typically solvated and cured by heat. The sheet 50 is bonded by the layer 52 in the manner shown in FIG. 3 to the frame 70 which represents a rigid and flat or planar surface. Again referring to FIG. 2, the top surface of sheet 50 contains a first layer 54 of carbon or graphite material screened thereon having essentially the same thickness and width dimensions of the layer 40 heretofore described with respect to the membrane portion of the switch. Comparing FIGS. 7 and 12 reveal that the orientation of the bar structures of the carbon layers 40 and 54 are at right angles to one another. Both FIGS. 7 and 12 are top plan views of the respective printed surfaces. When the surfaces are placed in overlying relationship, tail 48 of FIG. 7 overlies tail 64 of FIG. 12. Referring to FIG. 8, the carbon layer 54 on sheet 50 is shown to include bars 54a, dots 54b, and separate switch areas 22 includes bars 54c which are essentially identical to the structures of carbon layer 40 heretofore described, except with the direction or orientation thereof.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, a layer of the more conductive ink, referred to as the silver composition ink, is shown as 56 which is deposited on top of the carbon layer 54 but selectively at the spacer dot areas 54b and additionally along conductive traces shown as 56c and 56d in FIGS. 9 and 12. The screening effecting layer 56 is of a material and thickness and characteristics essentially the same as heretofore described with respect to layer 42.
Next, in accordance with the invention and referring to FIGS. 2 and 10, a dielectric screening, including a layer 58, is applied over the dots formed in layers 54 and 56 and additionally over the conductive traces 56c. The dielectric layer formed thereby is shown with respect to the dots as 58a and with respect to the conductive traces as 58b. A dielectric utilized in an actual embodiment was comprised of a screen printable dielectric ink which is UV curable and available as a resin from W. R. Grace and Company. Such dielectric in a single pass represented a thickness of on the order of 0.0011 plus or minus 0.0001 inches in thickness and was of a width on the order of 0.060 inches. By placing the dielectric spacer material on the fixed or rigid side of the switch, namely on layer laminate 50, the stiffening effect of the dielectric, particularly as with respect to the conductive traces and the circuit runs 58b is made irrelevant to switch action, all movement taking place in the upper layer or in layer 30.
To lend perspective to the foregoing, reference is made to FIG. 3 wherein a stylus or the fingers of an operator is shown depressing the upper layer 30 to effect a switch closure between the carbon traces 40a and 54a. It is to be noted how the various layers of carbon and silver ink and dielectric in the dot regions operate to define a normally open switch but allowing closure through a very slight deflection of the beam structure represented by the upper layer 30 supported by the essentially columnar stacking of the various layers. The open spacing between carbon traces 40a and 54a is essentially the thickness of the two layers of silver ink plus the thickness of the dielectric layer as stacked in a given dot area. It has been found that the utilization of the silver ink layer over the carbon layer in the dots areas aids in defining the spacing in terms of consistency over the area of the switch. It is contemplated that on occasion, and depending upon application, more spacing can be provided by thicker coatings of either carbon, silver, or dielectric material, or in some cases, a second pass of one or several of these materials in the silk screening of the laminates. It is also contemplated that an added layer of adhesive may be applied to the dot areas to help in controlling delamination in use. It is worth noting that in the construction proposed here with respect to the present invention, the flexing and flexible part of the membrane switch, including the decorative or instruction coatings or layers, and the top layer or layer 30 is in an actual embodiment well under 0.010 inches in thickness, and indeed the entire stack to the top of the surface of the rigid layer or lower frame 70 is itself on the order of 0.010 inches in thickness or less.
Having now disclosed and described in a preferred embodiment the principles of the invention with the intention that those skilled in the art may practice it in both method and apparatus, we now set forth its definition in the following claims.

| Studie/Report
