Bin Laden son-in-law pleads not guilty to terrorism charge
Hands shackled behind his back and wearing dark blue prison togs, Abu Ghaith was arraigned before U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in New York. If convicted, the Kuwaiti-born man who is accused by U.S. authorities of being part of the terror group's inner circle, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.
The prosecution of Abu Ghaith will be the first trial of such a senior al-Qaida figure on U.S. soil. Human rights activists and the Obama administration have argued that senior al-Qaida suspects should be tried in civilian courts rather than before military tribunals at the U.S. facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Republicans have opposed conducting terrorism trials in civilian courts in the United States, citing both security concerns and the need to use military justice protocols rather than civilian legal protections.
Abu Ghaith, 47, originally was captured by Turkish authorities and was taken into U.S. custody in Jordan as officials were returning him to Kuwait. The U.S. government released his indictment on Thursday.
In court, prosecutor John P. Cronan said Abu Ghaith made an "extensive post-arrest statement" that totaled 22 pages. Cronan gave no details about what Abu Ghaith said, according to media reports from the courtroom.
Defense attorney Philip Weinstein said attorneys met with their client "several times before this proceeding."
Republican senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire say the Obama administration is wrong to bring Abu Ghaith to court in New York. They described the action as "sneaky" and against the will of Congress.
Graham says Sulaiman Abu Ghaith is clearly an enemy combatant and should have been sent straight to the Guantanamo Bay detainee facility in Cuba for extended questioning.
Graham and Ayotte said at hastily arranged news conference Thursday that they worry that the administration's decision to have Abu Ghaith appear in a federal court in New York will establish a precedent. Ayotte says suspects like Abu Ghaith do not deserve the protections of U.S. courts.
Friday morning's court action lasted no more than 15 minutes. Bail was not requested. A trial date will be set at the next conference meeting on April 8.
According to the prosecution, Abu Ghaith was the spokesman for al-Qaida, working with his father-in-law and with Ayman al-Zawahri, the current head of the terrorist group, since at least May 2001. Abu Ghaith is a preacher and teacher.
The day after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, prosecutors say, he appeared with bin Laden and al-Zawahri and called on Muslims to battle Jews, Christians and Americans. A "great army is gathering against you," Abu Ghaith said on Sept. 12, 2001, according to prosecutors.
Obama pledged shortly after taking office in 2009 that that foreign terrorists would be charged in American federal courts, in part, to close Guantanamo Bay. The facility remains open.
In 2010, the Obama administration abandoned plans to bring five men charged with plotting the Sept. 11 attacks _ including the accused mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed _ to trial in the same courthouse in Lower Manhattan where Abu Ghaith appeared on Friday. The courthouse is just blocks from the site of the World Trade Center, destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack.
That trial was dropped after some New York officials, who originally had agreed to the proceeding, changed their minds, citing security issues. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the Abu Ghaith trial would not present a problem.
"It's the federal government's choice," Bloomberg said during his weekly radio interview, when asked about the issue of trying high-profile terrorism defendants in civilian courts. Bloomberg dismissed arguments that such defendants create security concerns that put undue weight on local law enforcement.
"If you are in federal court here in New York, you go from the holding pen to the courtroom underground," he said, rejecting the idea that the trial would be hugely disruptive. Ultimately, though, he said it was up to President Barack Obama and the attorney general to decide where Abu Ghaith would be tried.
Former New York Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches, whose son, Jim, was a police officer who died on 9/11, said he agreed with Bloomberg that the trial being held in New York would not create disruptions or undue security risks. Most important, he said, federal courts have a track record of moving faster than military courts when dealing with high-profile terrorism defendants, and that is something he said families of victims need and deserve.
"The families haven't had any justice for years," he said, accusing politicians who oppose trials in civilian courts of interfering. "It's wrong. They should try them here. We were promised justice. It's been anything but. It's just been a political fight."
Three terrorism defendants, who were extradited from Britain in October, are also facing trial in Manhattan.
Plans to try Abu Ghaith have drawn criticism from Republicans.
"We should treat enemy combatants like the enemy _ the U.S. court system is not the appropriate venue. The president needs to send any captured al-Qaida members to Guantanamo," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Select Intelligence Committee, said in a prepared statement.
Human rights activists strongly disagreed. "Our nation's track record of successfully prosecuting alleged terrorists in federal court is second to none," said Raha Wala, a lawyer at Human Rights First.

Comments about K2 BackDrop Ski - Men's:
112mm under foot.Your big soft snow ski that likes to go fast, make medium to long radius turns. The tip rocker allows you to make faster turns when the tree get to close. It has good edge hold on packed snow but it would really rather be in softer snow.Surprisingly light weight for a ski of this size.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Kurt Vonnegut's 1967 Advice to a New Teacher at the Iowa Writers' Workshop
In 1967, Kurt Vonnegut corresponded with magazine writer and novelist Richard Gehman, who was about to head off to the Iowa Writers' Workshop to start a teaching gig. Vonnegut, who taught at the Workshop from 1965 to 1967, had many tips to share.
Practical: "Use the Cedar Rapids airport instead of the Iowa City airport! Fly United instead of Ozarks!" Personal: "Forget your lack of credentials! The University is perfectly used to barbarians in the Workshop." Professional: "Vance [Bourjaily] is a poor teacher." Interpersonal: "Run with the painters. I did. The best guy in Iowa City is painter Byron Burford."
Vonnegut also seemed to know his audience; he told Gehman, who eventually married multiple times: "Don't ball undergraduates! Their parents are still watching!"
While Vonnegut, who died in 2007, never wrote an autobiography, he did leave letters—lots of them. The new book Kurt Vonnegut: Letters contains many previously unpublished missives from the author, who seems incapable of writing a boring paragraph.

Dell Inc. agrees to pay $100M SEC fine
Send this to a friend
Dell Inc. CEO Michael Dell will be fined $4 million and the company fined $100 million for unethical accounting and financial reporting matters for periods beginning in 2001, following a five-year investigation, federal regulators announced today.
Officials at Round Rock-based Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) said they reached the settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve the SEC's investigation into the company's disclosures and alleged omissions related to its business with Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC). Dell and Michael Dell reached the agreements without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations.
Michael Dell is the 37th-richest person in the world, with an estimated worth of $12.3 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
The settlements are subject to approval by a U.S. District Court. Also, Dell has agreed to enlist an independent consultant to improve its disclosure practices, officials said.
Dell, the No. 2 computer maker in the world, employs an estimated 16,000 workers in Central Texas.
Last month, the company revealed that it was reserving $100 million for the settlement with the SEC. Last week, the company's annual shareholders meeting was cut short of voting and postponed until August, pending the SEC settlement.
In April, Dell reported an unknown number of former employees have received notices from federal regulators investigating unethical accounting and financial reporting matters for periods beginning in 2001. The SEC provided the former employees with Wells notices in connection with the investigation. Such notices are typically issued by the SEC to alert companies that they are under investigation for unethical behavior in anticipation of an enforcement action.
In February, the company posted a $1.43 billion profit on $52.9 billion in revenue for fiscal 2010 versus a $2.47 billion profit on $61.1 billion in revenue during fiscal 2009. Today, shares of Dell were trading at about $13.40, up 33 cents or 2.5 percent.

I generally find that if its Parcel Force, they usually deliver up to 4.30pm. After 4.30pm the driver then calls into the 'local' post office and leaves undelivered items that the customer can collect, if a card as been left for the customer to do so.
If you have a tracking number, then the website will give you details and a telephone number for the local delivery depot. Try phoning them, but you might not get the correct answer from the person answering the telephone!.

Lug me tender
Should a law school be tendering seven figures of money to a minor league baseball team for stadium naming rights? : That is certainly a novel question.
I tackled the whole concept of branding, memory and stadium names in the context of the Mets' Citi Field deal a few years ago–but a bank is one thing. : Heck, these guys know how to make record profits just by threatening to go out of business! : So who am I to say?
But a law school? : That's something I know a little about!
And… with all due respect… should the law school that does that be Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan? : Well, perhaps if it would be any school it would be Cooley, which has always marched to the sound of a different drummer.
A very, very different drummer. : I once wrote an article, or perhaps just a short roundup-type item, about Cooley when I was contributing editor for: Student Lawyer magazine, but I can't get my hands on the cuneiform tablets just now. : I do remember that it was the school that actually did things "the old fashioned way"–they actually admitted two or three times the number of students who were really going to make it through law school, and they actually kicked out people who couldn't cut it. : So, yes, they have always been very funky, original and daring over there.
And in that context, now let's see the Wall Street Journal Law Blog and the stadium story:
According to the NLJ, the law school will pay just shy of $1.5 million to the: Lansing Lugnuts (a single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays) in return for the naming rights for 11 years. What used to be called Oldsmobile Park is now, just like that, Cooley Law School Stadium.
Much of the coverage was, well, critical of the decision in a way that didn't necessarily seem unfair. To summarize the skeptics' main question: What's a law school not exactly at Harvard's level doing throwing money at a baseball stadium in the middle of a severe economic downturn?
For a little help, we chatted today with: Don LeDuc, the dean of the law school to ask him what about the deal, and to give him a chance to answer his critics.
Hey Don. So tell us about the deal.
The agreement we have with the Lugnuts has two elements, a marketing element and also an amenities element. Along with the name recognition, you also get some amenities at the park. We'll be doing a sort of extended version of what we used to do at Comerica Park, where the Tigers play, in which we matched up students with alumni working in Detroit and all went to a ballgame. We'll be doing that with the Lugnuts too. We'll also do some community outreach at the stadium, too, in which we'll take kids from Lansing to a game.

Support group's funds drying up
Relevant offers
Manawatu's Abuse and Rape Crisis support group is facing a crisis of its own.
This month marks the 30th birthday of the branch of the organisation. It also marks what manager Ann Kent believes is the first time it has had to send letters to the community asking for donations.
The organisation gets just under half its funding from the Social Development Ministry - a total of $127,000 - and must raise another $130,000 itself.
However, under the ministry's Investing in Services for Outcomes programme, social services contracts are to be reviewed, leaving the support group's future uncertain.
"We're not sure what's going to happen for us in the future because we don't have guaranteed funding," Ms Kent said.
"So to keep services going, we need community support."
Ms Kent said counselling services were cut from 60 hours to 40 hours on July 1, but six hours had been regained thanks to a community grant.
The organisation had also essentially lost a staff member because it had been unable to afford to replace one community education officer, so staff numbers were down to six part-timers.
But even with those costs saved, it still needed to raise a further $25,000 this financial year, she said.
Ms Kent said the number of victims helped increased by 10 to 15 per cent each year, but part of that was because more people were coming forward, as most of the cases they dealt with were historical.
"We're not saying the level of sexual attacks has increased, but it hasn't decreased either."
The organisation's counselling and support services saw about 80 people a month.
During the course of the year, 200 of those would be new clients, she said.
The programme for victims of child sexual abuse worked with about 30 children and their caregivers, and the educational programme, which is delivered in high schools, reached about 500 teens a year.
The education programme would definitely be cut if it did not get community support, because it received no other funding, she said.
"The work we do, we know it makes a difference. There's not a single day I don't want to come into work because what survivors achieve is amazing and when we deliver that [educational] programme, the change you see are amazing. We know it creates a shift in how they [teens] think."
One thousand letters are expected to be delivered to businesses and individuals throughout Palmerston North next week.
Anyone who wants to help the organisation can visit its website, arcsmanawatu.org.nz, or call (06) 356 5868. There are other ways to help that are not financial.

Work-hard, play-hard thinking predominates in our culture. We've been sold...
Bob Mackenzie, the passionate worker rights and social-equity advocate who served as Hamilton MPP and Ontario's first NDP labour minister, died Monday at 82.
"He was a Hamilton icon and an NDP giant," said Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath."He was a traditional politician of the good kind, what people wanted in a politician. He had integrity and he cared deeply. He was of a different mould."
Hamilton Mountain MP Chris Charlton, who broke the news overnight through Twitter, and Hamilton East MP Wayne Marston hailed Mackenzie as a mentor, a gentle man and a passionate advocate.
"He was one of the finest men I have ever known because he tried very hard to make a difference in the lives of others," said Marston. "And he did just that."
Mackenzie, then a tireless labour organizer, won the Hamilton East riding in 1975. That Ontario election saw Stephen Lewis lead the New Democrats to Official Opposition status for the first time, and produced the first crack in the Conservatives' 30-year hold on power. A shaken Premier William Davis was left with a minority government and firebrands like Mackenzie were handed the first tantalizing opportunity to begin to try to force changes on behalf of working class Ontarians.
For 20 years, Mackenzie's fervent advocacy was un-ending - aggravating critics, enlivening the hopes of working people nationwide and earning him widespread all-party respect. He became labour minister in Bob Rae's 1990 government, and is revered by labour for bringing in Bill 40 – anti-scab legislation to ban replacement workers during strikes. The Conservative government of Mike Harris later eliminated the legislation.
His legacy includes reforms in minimum wages, pay equity and wage protection.
"Bob Mackenzie was Ontario's first minister for labour," said Charlton, "He will be sorely missed in our community and in our province."
Charlton said Mackenzie was her mentor from the first day she went to work for him as in intern in 1989.
"He taught me that politics is an honourable profession," she said.
Mackenzie announced his retirement from politics in the fall of 1994 for health reasons, just before the 1995 election that saw the Harris Tories take power. Charlton said he greatly enjoyed time with his family.

Title: Holes in leaves of wax myrtle from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I just purchased 4 of the 5 gallon Wax Myrtles at the last spring plant sale and after planting them, they are getting eaten by bugs leaving holes in the leaves. I can't find any of the bugs doing the damage. What would be good to spray on these wax myrtles for insect control? Thanks!
Water. And if that doesn't work, add a little pure liquid soap to the water, and spray again.
Okay, now we've had our fun, we'll get serious. We are neither entomologists nor plant pathologists, but our experience as gardeners tells us this is probably aphid damage. Look on the underside of the wax myrtle's leaves-do you see tiny white specks moving around? Are there ants present? Is there a whitish deposit on those undersides, some of which may be developing a black moldy appearance?
Sooty mold is a fungus, or more commonly a complex of two or more fungal species, that grows on honeydew or on plant exudates. Honeydew is a waste-product of aphids and other plant-sucking insects. As honeydew is excreted by sucking insects, it falls and coats any surface upon which it lands. Sooty mold fungi invade and live upon this sugary coating. These fungi do not infest the leaf ifself. Thus, sooty mold may often be found growing on any exposed surface beneath aphid-infested trees and shrubs. Sooty mold can cause great harm to plants, however, by blocking sunlight to the leaf surface below and diminishing photosynthesis.
Sooty mold can often be successfully removed by rinsing with water from a garden hose. However, this will be most effective after the aphids or other honeydew-producing insects are destroyed. Sometimes sooty mold development is so severe and persistent that only time and exchange of leaves through the growing seasons will remove it all.
Aphids are not especially difficult to control and non-chemical methods are usually very effective. Insecticidal soaps are often the remedy of choice for many gardeners. Various brands of insecticidal soaps may be found at just about any retail nursery or garden center. Be sure to read and carefully follow all label directions when using any pesticide, organic or chemical.

Australian Dollar Outlook - 13 February 2014
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Christine Gaylican | February 14, 2014 7:35 AM EST
Bell FX Currency Outlook: The Australian Dollar has once again maintained its firm tone overnight, pushing higher yesterday, as Chinese trade figures exceeded expectations.
Australia: The AUD traded higher again after the release of January's trade figures from China. The AUD jumped from around the USD 0.9000 level when we learned that exports for January increased by 10.6% as compared to consensus predictions of only a 0.1% rise. This was a lot stronger than December's rise of 4.3%. Imports rose strongly as well by 8.3% as compared to forecasts of 4%. These figures pushed the monthly trade surplus to USD31.9bn from the December figure of USD25.4bn and is the second highest trade surplus figure since November, 2012. Some of these figures might have been affected by an earlier start to the Chinese New Year holiday since this year it began on January 31 as compared to last year's holiday which started on February 10. This overshadowed the release of the Westpac-Melbourne Institute's consumer confidence data yesterday which showed a 3% decline in the index. Later this morning we will hear local employment figures where the market is expecting an increase of 15k jobs which would be an improvement on the 22k job losses from last month. The expectation is the unemployment rate will kick up from 5.8% to the 5.9% level. Unless the job numbers are strong we would expect the AUD to take a breather here and consolidate its recent gains.
Majors: The Bank of England raised its growth forecasts for the UK from 2.8% to 3.4% for 2014 and projected unemployment to fall to 7%. Inflation is projected to remain low for the next several years. They also joined the US Fed in providing "forward guidance" on interest rates saying that interest rates would remain low for the foreseeable future since there is good bit of spare capacity in the UK economy. The market is projecting the first increase in interest rates not until mid-2015. The EUR was a touch weaker as ECB President Draghi spoke after factory output figures were weaker than expected. The Eurozone's GDP's figures which are to be released on Friday night will be closely reviewed.

Symetrix SymNet Radius 12×8 Dante Networked Audio DSP Keeps Indiana Town Dancinâ in the Streets
GREENFIELD, INDIANA: Although the city of Greenfield, Indiana is now a suburb of Indianapolis, its history runs deep into the 1800s, when it was a railway stop and the birthplace of famed poet James Whitcomb Riley. The city celebrates that tradition for a long weekend every October with Riley Days, which ranks among the Hoosier Stateâs best-attended festivals. Because Greenfield also puts on a Christmas festival and numerous other smaller citywide events throughout the year, it recently decided to invest in a citywide sound reinforcement system. Local A/V integration firm Force Technologies designed and installed the system for future expansion and convenient control using the Symetrix SymNet Radius 12×8 Dante networked audio signal processor and ARC-WEB user control for mobile devices.
âRiley Days is a big deal,â said A.J. Fager, owner of Force Technology Solutions. âGreenfield closes down its main streets, and vendors from all around set up tents. The city officials wanted a permanent sound reinforcement system that would serve Riley Days, as well as the other events that the city hosts. The Symetrix SymNet Radius 12×8 was the perfect processor because it is powerful, cost-effective, and easily scalable via Dante. Moreover, we could give them customized control via SymVue real-time user control panel application running on any Windows compatible PC and simultaneously give them simple, intuitive control for techniciansâ smartphones via Symetrixâ ARC-WEB technology.â
In its initial deployment, the system is comprised of eight zones, each of which are independently tuned and delayed to minimize echo effects. Weatherproof Community R.5HP 8 Ohm and R.5HPt 70-Volt loudspeakers mounted to poles and powered by Crown CDi-Series amplifiers now dot downtown Greenfield. âThose loudspeakers and amplifiers are capable of delivering high sound pressure, and the design became a case of âless is more,ââ said Fager. âWhen we modeled the system, it was apparent that more loudspeakers would have complicated the delay scheme and ultimately resulted in more harm than good.â Inputs to the system include two music sources and two wireless microphone systems.
The Greenfield IT department manages the citywide sound reinforcement system. Fager designed a custom Windows-compatible, PC-based control interface using Symetrix SymVue software. The interface consists of a map of the city broken down by zone. Within each zone, technicians can control volume and other aspects of system performance. Because such adjustments are sometimes better made from the zone itself, Fager also gave them a Symetrix ARC-WEB interface. Technicians access the password protected ARC-WEB interface from their smartphones and can thus make adjustments from anywhere.
Already, the city officials are excited to expand the system with four more zones. Fager anticipated this, and that was part of the reason why he went with the Dante networked SymNet Radius 12×8. Because its full processing power is far from tapped, Fager can simply add a Symetrix SymNet xOut 12 and, via the magic of Dante, the system will have the required additional outputs at little expense.
ABOUT SYMETRIX Symetrix is dedicated to making life sound better. As a world leader in the development and manufacturing of digital audio signal processing (DSP) systems and accessories, Symetrix provides best in class audio management solutions to businesses, schools, non-profits and government organizations.

Topic: Erosion Control
Title: Plants to prevent riverbank erosion in NY
Answered by: Anne Bossart
QUESTION:Dear Mr. Smarty Plants, I'm doing research into riverbank erosion in Broome County, NY, and I was wondering if you had some sort of resource that would be able to tell me which species of grasses, shrubs, and trees native to Broome County are best for reducing/eliminating erosion.
Plants that have fibrous root systems or spread by runners are the best for preventing erosion.
You can select plants native to NY by searching our Plant Database using the Combination Search feature and selecting the plant type (trees, shrubs or grasses) and light and moisture conditions. You will also find the Evergreen.ca database helpful since most of the plants native to your area are also native to Ontario. On their Advanced Search page simply select Ontario, native species only, Riparian Habitat and check yes for erosion control. You can cross reference that list of 67 plants with the combination searches for NY on our database and select plants that are readily available in your area.
Here are some of my favourites from those lists:
Elymus canadensis (Canada wildrye or canada wild rye)
Hierochloe odorata (Sweetgrass)
Panicum virgatum (Switchgrass)
Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (Softstem bulrush)
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Kinnikinnick)
Cephalanthus occidentalis (Common buttonbush)
Cornus sericea (Redosier dogwood)
Physocarpus opulifolius (Atlantic ninebark)
Rubus odoratus (Purpleflowering raspberry)
Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis (Common elderberry)
Spiraea alba (White meadowsweet)

Apparatus and a method for generating an RF plasma plume wherein hydrogen gas is introduced downstream of the means for injecting plasma gas in order to increase the coupling between the RF coil and the plume and to decrease heat loss to the plasma containment walls.
1. An RF plasma gun comprising:
(a) An enclosure defining a chamber for containing a plasma and having a plasma exit port through which the plasma flows,
(b) an electrical conductor coil adjacent the enclosure for applying RF energy to a region within the chamber to create the plasma from a plasma gas flowing in the chamber,
(c) a first means for the introduction of the plasma gas at an upstream location of the chamber such that the plasma gas will flow in a gas stream through the electromagnetic filed generated by the coil,
(d) a powder injection means located so as to inject powder into the chamber, and
(e) a second means for introducing hydrogen gas extending through the enclosure at a location downstream from an end of the coil facing the first means for the introduction of the plasma gas, such that constriction of the plasma will be reduced.
2. An RF plasma gun as recited in claim 1 wherein the second means extends through the enclosure at a location intermediate the coil.
This invention relates to an improved RF plasma gun and method of producing an RF plasma plume whereby a constriction of the plasma plume due to the introduction of hydrogen in such guns is reduced while also reducing heat losses from the plasma plume to a powder injection probe in the gun.
Radio frequency (RF) plasma deposition is a plasma spray process which is well known for producing high temperature gaseous plasma. The devices for generating the plasma are sometimes referred to as plasma guns. They find utility in diverse heating applications such as high temperature chemical reactions, heating of solid targets, melting of particles such as a superalloy and for providing surface coatings and spray processes. Plasma processes are also used to produce low interstitial content titanium, refractory metal, and superalloy deposits. In addition, the deposition efficiency of materials sprayed by the RF plasma process can approach 100%.
RF plasma deposition is a plasma spray process which can be used to fabricate low interstitial content titanium, refractory metal, and superalloy deposits. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,833, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes an RF plasma apparatus, including an RF plasma gun and the operation thereof in a frequency range of from 2 to 5 megahertz. The plasma is produced by induced RF energy which causes gases flowing in the interior of the gun to form a plasma plume or jet which flows to the adjacent substrate. Gases introduced into the plasma gun to form the plasma are herein referred to as "plasma gas." Typical plasma gas is comprised of argon, nitrogen, helium, or mixtures thereof.
Small quantities of hydrogen can be employed in the plasma gas to enhance heat transfer. Hydrogen has a low dissociation temperature, and the latent heat of dissociation of hydrogen increases the enthalpy of the resulting plasma. However, largely as a consequence of the large increase in thermal conductivity of hydrogen through dissociation at about 3000 to 4000K, the plasma plume generated in such guns suffers from a constriction effect shown graphically in FIG. 1 (Sides A&B) which illustrates the typical temperature distribution in a plasma gas having added hydrogen and a non-dissociating (non-molecular) gas such as argon. Because of the constriction effect, coupling is weakened between the plasma and the electromagnetic field from the induction coil in the gun. This puts a limit on the mole fraction of hydrogen which can be introduced in the gun. Further, the increased thermal conductivity resulting from the dissociation of hydrogen increases heat losses to the powder injection probe.
The above described constriction of the plasma plume from the introduction of hydrogen gas to the plasma is herein referred to as "discharge constriction".
It is an object of this invention to minimize the effects of discharge constriction and heat loss from the plasma plume due to the introduction of hydrogen in RF plasma guns while at the same time maintaining appropriate heat transfer to the powder being heated and melted.
In known RF plasma guns, plasma gas is introduced at one end of the plasma chamber and passes through an electromagnetic field created by a power coil, heating the plasma gas by induction to form a plasma plume. An appropriate powder to be heated, in particulate form, is introduced to the plasma through a powder injection probe. Typically, hydrogen is introduced simultaneously with the plasma gas at one end of the plasma chamber in order to increase heat transfer to the powder.
According to the present invention, hydrogen gas is injected at a location downstream from the introduction of the plasma gas in order to reduce the amount of hydrogen in the region where the plasma couples with the RF coil. In this way, the loss of coupling with the RF coil due to the discharge constriction effect of hydrogen is minimized. An additional benefit of this mode of introducing hydrogen is a reduction in heat losses from the plasma to the powder injection probe. In addition, the RF plasma gun is further shielded by the cooler hydrogen gas, there being a protective sheet of hydrogen between the walls of the gun and the plasma core. In other words, the high temperature plasma core is further shielded from heat loss to the RF plasma gun walls from the hydrogen introduced into the RF plasma gun by the method of this invention.
In one aspect of the invention, an RF plasma gun is provided comprising an enclosure defining a chamber for containing a plasma and having a plasma exit port through which the plasma flows, an electrical conductor coil adjacent the enclosure for applying RF energy to a region within the chamber to create the plasma from a plasma gas flowing in the chamber, a first means for the introduction of the plasma gas at an upstream location of the chamber such that the plasma gas will flow in a gas stream through the electromagnetic field generated by the coil, a powder injection means located so as to inject powder into the chamber, and a second means for introducing hydrogen gas through the chamber wall at a location downstream from the first means for the introduction of the plasma gas, such that constriction of the plasma will be reduced and additional heat shielding will be provided for the chamber walls. The hydrogen gas may be injected through the chamber wall at a location between windings of the coil or at some other location downstream from the initial coupling of energy from the coil to the plasma gas.
In another aspect of the invention, a method of producing an RF plasma plume is provided by introducing a plasma gas into a chamber with an exit port, applying RF energy to the chamber by means of an electrical conductor coil to create the plasma from the plasma gas flowing in the chamber, and introducing hydrogen gas through the chamber walls at a location downstream of the introduction of the plasma gas so as to reduce constriction of the plasma.
FIG. 1 is a schematic radial distribution of enthalpy on Side A and temperature on Side B in an RF plasma discharge operating with pure argon or with an argon-hydrogen mixture as the plasma gas.
FIG. 2 is a fragmented side elevation view in section of a schematic of an apparatus employing an RF plasma gun in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a more detailed elevation view in section of the plasma gun of the embodiment of FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates diagrammatically a typical arrangement of an RF plasma heating apparatus, such as an RF spray apparatus for providing a surface coating on a target. The apparatus comprises an RF generating device 30 secured centrally to a plasma device support 32 projecting into tank 34. The RF plasma device 30 is positioned to inject a plasma plume 36 into the interior 38 of the tank 34. The plasma plume 36 passes into the tank through an opening 40 in the support 32. The tank is evacuated as is done in a conventional RF plasma system, e.g., to 250 torr.
The plasma plume 36 heats or otherwise treats the surface of a target 42 within the tank interior 38. The target 42 is carried by a mechanical actuator sometimes referred to as a sting 44. The sting 44 enables the target 42 to be positioned and rotated relative to the plasma plume 36 by an actuator arm 46. In RF spray coating systems, particles of the coating material, such as a superalloy or a ceramic powder, are injected into the plasma stream, melted by the plasma and sprayed by the plasma onto the target to provide a surface coating on the target. Typically, the target 42 includes a substrate to which a deposition of the coating material is to be applied.
The RF plasma device 30 is shown in more detail in FIG. 3, and comprises an electrically insulative dielectric enclosure 60, which typically may be made of quartz forming a cylindrical chamber 62 for the plasma. An electrical induction coil is connected to a source of RF energy (not shown) and surrounds the enclosure 60 for coupling RF energy to an ionizable gas, such as argon, nitrogen or helium, which is injected into the chamber to produce the plasma. An annular ring 68 includes passageways (not shown) in which the ionizable gas mixture enters the plasma chamber 62 as shown by arrows 66. A water cooled particle injection tube 72 (water cooling means not shown) extends axially into the plasma chamber 62 through the annular ring 68.
In a typical RF plasma gun, plasma gases are introduced at about the same upstream location 66 illustrated in FIG. 3. Typical plasma gases employed in such guns are argon, nitrogen, helium, or in some cases, various mixtures of these gases. However, the heat transfer characteristics of these gases is limited. Hence, small quantities of hydrogen are either mixed in with the plasma gas or introduced concurrently with plasma gas, as illustrated at 66 in FIG. 3. While this improves the heat transfer to the particles of powder, it also increases the heat losses to the water cooled powder injection probe and the chamber wall containing the plasma. A second effect of the hydrogen is to cause the plasma to constrict as illustrated in FIG. 1. The constriction in the plasma causes the coupling with the RF coil to weaken.
However, in accordance with the present invention the hydrogen gas is injected into the plasma plume at a downstream location, for example intermediate the power coil 64, so that it will diffuse into the plasma and contribute to the improved particle heating without causing constriction of the plasma. In this way, the discharge behaves nearly as if hydrogen were absent and discharge constriction is minimized. An attractive bonus of this approach is the improved protection of the RF gun walls, which are now further shielded by the cooler hydrogen gas. The protective sheet of hydrogen interspersed between the chamber walls of the gun and the plasma core, with its high temperature gradients, will substantially reduce the amount of heat lost to the chamber walls.
As shown in FIG. 3, the hydrogen gas can be introduced through the sides of the chamber as shown by the passageways 91. The passageways can be positioned to introduce the hydrogen into chamber 62, either radially or tangentially to chamber walls 60. A second tubular insulating member 70, which may be made of an insulating material such as carbon tetrafluoroethylene, sold under the trademark Teflon by E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Co., is disposed about the coil 64 and enclosure 60. The coil 64, enclosure 60 and the second tubular insulating member 70 are in general concentric.
The particle injection tube 7 injects metal or ceramic particles 78, for example, a titanium alloy such as Ti-14Al-21Nb, into the plasma 36 so that the particles may be melted and sprayed upon the target 42 (FIG. 2) by the plasma. Not shown are cooling passageways located in various elements of the device 30 and means for supplying cooling water to the device.
The plasma device 30 as described is similar to a commercially available plasma gun manufactured by the TAFA Company with the addition of passageways 91 to introduce hydrogen gas intermediate to the power coil.

text: Nearly two years after unveiling its custom design options for the http://freshnessmag.com/2011/07/29/colorware-leica-d-lux-5-design-options/" target="_blank">Leica D-LUX 5 digital camera, http://colorware.com" target="_blank">ColorWare introduces the new customization process for the http://en.leica-camera.com/home/" target="_blank">Leica D-LUX 6. Thanks to its revamped website, potential customers can now alter all aspects of the D-LUX 6's appearance. Divided in ten parts, from lens face, thumb dial, to aperture ring, hot shoe insert, and even the lens cap itself, each comes with an option of either a solid color (from a selection of 21) or a pearlized one (from a selection of 25). For the final phase, which is ColorWare's proprietary X2 liquid plastic coating to protect both the camera and the new paint work, you can chose from either a matte or glossy finish. With both custom colors and camera combined, the package retails for $1200 USD and is available now through ColorWare's http://colorware.com" target="_blank">online store.
