The Knesset Ministerial Committee on Legislation on Sunday approved a bill to curb high levels of executive pay in financial institutions, stipulating that payment above the NIS 3.5 million (about $1m.) threshold will not be tax deductible."This law will curb executive pay in financial bodies and of public fund managers," Finance Minister Yair Lapid said."The law is an important stage in the path we are leading to reduce the wage gaps in the economy."Lapid specifically called out Phoenix Holdings Ltd. CEO Eyal Lapidot for his NIS 10m. compensation. "This is not capitalism and not a free market, but simple unbridled greed," he said.Financial institutions will be required to report all salaries in excess of NIS 3.5m., but there will be exceptions. In public companies, a special majority of minority shareholders will be able to approve higher salaries. In private companies, a majority of outside or independent directors will be able to increase the pay.Meretz chairwoman Zehava Gal-On said the bill was a step in the right direction but did not go far enough and had too many loopholes, such as excluding bonuses.The limit was "ineffective because it is an amount that is too high, which lets half of high earners in the financial institutions evade the limitation and continue getting exorbitant salaries at the expense of the public," she said.Gal-On suggested expanding the rule to all publicly traded companies and setting the limit for benefits on executive pay at 15 times the minimum wage.When Lapid first unveiled the policy in April, Israel Securities Authority Chairman Shmuel Hauser cast doubts about its effectiveness, arguing that drawing a line in the sand at NIS 3.5m. would actually encourage those making less to demand salary increases.Supervisor of Banks David Zaken, on the other hand, said the policy would help shape better future norms.

Looking to hook your laptop up to your Kindle 2 and do a bit of free-riding on its built-in 3G modem? Then this is not the hack for you. If, on the other hand, you've been pining to browse the web on your Kindle and eschew the convenience of wireless connectivity, then you're in luck! Apparently, the Kindle 2 has a few surprises in its debug mode that the original Kindle didn't have, one of which is a USB networking facility that will let you bypass the usual 3G option and instead take advantage of the internet connection on a connected computer. Not the most practical option, to be sure, but it also probably won't cause Amazon to start breathing down your neck (as the other, as yet not possible option, likely would). Hit up the link below for the complete how-to.

A NATION AT WAR: COMBAT; U.S. Tightens Grip; Rockets Rain on Baghdad
By JOHN M. BRODER
Published: April 9, 2003
DOHA, Qatar, April 8— American forces waged an aggressive assault on the symbols of Saddam Hussein's rule in Baghdad today, expanding their grip inside the city and pressing inward from the periphery with Army and Marine units.
Bombs and rockets rained on government buildings in the heart of the Iraqi capital in daylight today, setting at least two ministries ablaze. The headquarters of Mr. Hussein's Baath Party and his Republican Guard units came under attack as the growing American force moved to demolish the state's organs of control.
Allied troops fanned out farther across Iraq today, venturing into cities that had seen no sign to date of the invading troops, who began crossing over from Kuwait almost three weeks ago. Except in Baghdad, resistance was generally light.
''The endgame is the end of the regime, and that's a lot closer now than it was,'' Maj. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal said at the Pentagon today.
About 50 miles south of Baghdad, soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division entered the town of Hilla, the third of a triangle of holy cities for the Shiite Muslims who have long been repressed by Mr. Hussein, and whose support for allied occupation is considered crucial because they make up 60 percent of Iraq's population.
To the east, at the town of Al Amara near the Iranian border, a Marine task force moved to confront the Iraqi 10th Armored Division, one of the few Iraqi military units thought to retain some effectiveness. But the Iraqi division apparently dissolved in the face of allied air attacks and the advancing marines.
''Right now, there is no enemy that we know of,'' said Lt. Col. Glenn Starnes, a Marine artillery officer.
North of Baghdad, where the United States has a thin presence bolstered by Kurdish fighters, there was a noticeable drop in enemy activity. A slow-motion airlift of armored vehicles was under way, and commanders voiced hope that the Iraqis were not massing for an attack on an American force in the area that now numbers about 2,000 at most.
In Basra, Iraq's second city, British officers said they had established a rudimentary local administration and begun distributing water, but the southern city was deemed still too unsafe for F. J. Walters, a former general from Texas who arrived in the southern port of Umm Qasr with the first 20 members of the team that the United States envisions governing Iraq after the war.
Although the United States is preparing to take the lead in setting up a civilian administration in Iraq, President Bush said today that the United Nations would play a ''vital role'' in reconstruction and relief after the shooting stops.
One problem for any future administration in Iraq will be policing. A British military spokesman said looting and general lawlessness were the biggest problems confronting British troops in the south, who except in Basra are patrolling in shirtsleeves and regimental berets.
In Baghdad, units of the First Marine Expeditionary Force attacked across the Diyala River southeast of the city center, destroying a number of Iraqi T-55 tanks and other vehicles before capturing the Rashid Air Base. It will become a base for Marine operations as the international airport to the west of Baghdad has become a steadily more fortified base for the United States Army.
In a dramatic symbol of the American presence in the city, two Abrams tanks churned onto the central Jumhuriya Bridge over the Tigris River early today, slowly wheeled their turrets and fired into a building on the east bank of the river.
''There is now almost an entire armored brigade from the U.S. Third Infantry Division in the middle of Baghdad,'' said General McChrystal, vice director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. ''That is extraordinary.'' Depending on how they are organized, brigades typically have from 3,000 to 5,000 troops.
An Iraqi force tried to mount a counterattack with trucks and buses full of soldiers against American troops holding a strategic intersection in western Baghdad near the Tigris River. American officials estimated that at least 50 Iraqi fighters had been killed. Two American soldiers were wounded.
Military officials initially said they were responding to sniper fire from buildings housing journalists in Baghdad. Their strikes left three foreign journalists dead.
The Iraqi information minister, Muhammad Said al-Sahhaf, appeared shortly afterward at the Palestine Hotel, the site of one American strike that left two journalists dead, and claimed that the Iraqis were defeating the heavily armored Americans and driving them from the city. ''They are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks,'' he said.
An A-10 Warthog ground attack airplane was shot down near the international airport today by an Iraqi surface-to-air missile, Central Command announced. The pilot bailed out and was recovered.
Late tonight, Central Command announced that two American pilots were missing in Iraq after their F-15E Strike Eagle went down on Sunday evening. The airmen and their aircraft were from the Fourth Fighter Wing at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina.
Officials did not say how the plane had been lost, but said search and rescue operations were under way.
Despite the loss of the two aircraft, officials at the Pentagon declared that allied air forces now controlled all of the airspace above Iraq.
''Coalition air forces have established air supremacy over the entire country, which means the enemy is incapable of effective interference with coalition air operations,'' General McChrystal said.

[0001] The present invention relates to process devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to field-mounted process control and measurement devices.
[0002] Process devices are used to measure and control industrial processes such as the refining of petrochemicals, the processing of food, the generation of electric power, and a number of other processes. Process measurement devices include process variable transmitters, which measure a process variable such as pressure or temperature and communicate the measured variable to a process controller. Another type of process device is an actuator, such as a valve controller or the like. Generally, process control is accomplished using a combination of transmitters, actuators, and a process controller that communicate across a process control loop to a controller. Both types of process devices interact with the physical process through process interface elements. Process interface elements are devices which relate electrical signals to physical process conditions, and include devices such as sensors, limit switches, valve controllers, heaters, motor controllers, and a number of other devices.
[0003] The process controller is typically a microcomputer located in a control room away from the process. The process controller can receive process information from one or more process measurement devices and apply a suitable control signal to one or more process control devices to influence the process and thereby control it.
[0004] In order to couple to the process, transmitters and actuators are generally mounted near the process in the field. Such physical proximity can subject the process devices to an array of environmental challenges. For example, process devices are often subjected to temperature extremes, vibration, corrosive and/or flammable environments, and electrical noise. In order to withstand such conditions, process devices are designed specifically for "field-mounting." Such field-mounted devices utilize robust enclosures, which can be designed to be explosion-proof. Further, field-mounted process devices can also be designed with circuitry that is said to be "intrinsically safe", which means that even under fault conditions, the circuitry will generally not contain enough electrical energy to generate a spark or a surface temperature that can cause an explosion in the presence of an hazardous atmosphere. Further still, electrical isolation techniques are usually employed to reduce the effects of electrical noise. These are just a few examples of design considerations, which distinguish field-mounted process devices from other devices, which measure sensor characteristics and provide data indicative of such characteristics.
[0005] Aside from the environmental considerations listed above, another challenge for field-mounted devices is that of wiring. Since process devices are located near the process far from the control room, long wire runs are often required to couple such devices to the control room. These long runs are costly to install and difficult to maintain.
[0006] One way to reduce the requisite wiring is by using two-wire process devices. These devices couple to the control room using a two-wire process control loop. Two-wire devices receive power from the process control loop, and communicate over the process control loop in a manner that is generally unaffected by the provision of power to the process device. Techniques for communicating over two-wires include 4-20 mA signaling, the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART�) Protocol, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, Profibus-PA and others. Although two-wire process control systems provide wiring simplification, such systems provide a limited amount of electrical power to connected devices. For example, a device that communicates in accordance with 4-20 mA signaling must draw no more than 4 mA otherwise the device's current consumption would affect the process variable. The frugal power budget of two-wire process devices has traditionally limited the functionality that could be provided.
[0007] Another way the process control industry has reduced field wiring is by providing transmitters with two sensor inputs. Such transmitters reduce the number of transmitters/sensor and thereby reduce wiring costs as well as overall system costs. One example of such a transmitter is the Model 3244MV Multivariable Temperature Transmitter, available from Rosemount Inc., of Eden Prairie, Minn.
[0008] Although current multivariable transmitters can reduce wiring costs as well as overall system costs, they have traditionally been limited to applications involving two sensors. Thus, in applications with sixteen sensors, for example, eight multivariable transmitters would still be required. Further, if different sensor groups are independently grounded, there is a possibility that ground loop errors could occur and adversely affect process measurement.
[0009] Current methods used to overcome the problem of coupling a large number of sensors to the control room include coupling the sensors directly to the control room. For example, if a situation requires a large number of temperature sensors, consumers generally create "direct run" thermocouple configurations where thermocouple wire spans the distance between the measurement "point" and the control room. These direct run configurations are generally less expensive than the cost of obtaining a number of single or dual sensor transmitters, however, a significant wiring effort is required, and process measurement is rendered more susceptible to electrical noise due to the long runs.
[0010] The process control industry has also reduced the effects of long wire runs on process control by providing field-mounted devices that are capable of performing control functions. Thus, some aspects of process control are transferred into the field, thereby providing quicker response time, less reliance upon the main process controller, and greater flexibility. Further information regarding such control functions in a field-mounted device can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,825,664 to Warrior et al, entitled FIELD-MOUNTED CONTROL UNIT, assigned to Rosemount Incorporated.
[0011] Although multivariable transmitters and process devices implementing control functions have advanced the art of process control, there is still a need to accommodate applications requiring a relatively large number of sensors, as well as applications requiring enhanced control in the field.
[0012] A two-wire field-mounted process device is provided. In one embodiment, the process device includes multiple isolated channels includes a channel that can be an input channel or an output channel. The given input or output channel can couple to multiple sensors or actuators, respectively. The process device is wholly powered by the two-wire process control loop. The process device includes a controller adapted to measure one or more characteristics of sensors coupled to an input channel and to control actuators coupled to an output channel. The process device also includes a loop communicator that is adapted to communicate over the two-wire loop. In another embodiment, the two-wire field-mounted process device includes a controller that is adapted to execute a user generated control algorithm relating process input information with process output commands. The process device of this embodiment also includes a loop communicator that is adapted to communicate over the two-wire loop.
[0013]FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a process control system employing a two-wire field mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0014]FIG. 2 is a system block diagram of the process device shown in FIG. 1.
[0015]FIG. 3 is a system block diagram of a method of providing a process variable with a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0016]FIG. 4 is a system block diagram of a method of operating a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0017] A two-wire field mountable process device 16 shown in FIG. 1 is provided which can be adapted to execute sophisticated user generated control algorithms, much like those used with traditional programmable logic controllers. Embodiments can include input channels, output channels, and any combination of the two. Generally, each channel is isolated from the remainder of the process device. Such isolation removes ground loop errors that currently limit multiple input transmitters. Finally, power management is such that embodiments of the present invention are wholly powered by a two-wire process loop 14. These and other features will become apparent upon review of the figures and the related description provided below.
[0018]FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of process control system 10 which includes control room 12, process control loop 14 and process device 16. Process control system can comprise a single process device coupled to control room 12, however system 10 can also include hundreds of process devices coupled to one or more control rooms over a number of process control loops.
[0019] Control room 12 is typically a facility located away from device 16 that includes a microcomputer. A user stationed in control room 12 uses the microcomputer to interact with various process devices through process control loop 14 and thus controls the process(es) from the control room. For clarity, control room 12 is illustrated as a single block. However, in some control system embodiments, control room 12 may in fact couple process control loop 14 to a global computer network, such as the internet, so that users worldwide could access process device 16 from traditional web browser software.
[0020] Loop 14 is a two-wire process control loop. A number of two-wire process communication protocols exist for communicating on loop 14, and any suitable protocol can be used. For example, the HART� protocol, the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus protocol, and the Profibus-PA protocol can be used with embodiments of the present invention. Loop 14 provides power to connected process devices while providing communication between the various devices.
[0021] Process device 16 includes cover 17 and base 19 which are preferably constructed from a suitable plastic material. Base 19 is adapted to mate with an industry standard DIN rail for mounting. As will be described in more detail, device 16 is adapted to operate solely upon electrical power received through loop 14, and is adapted for field-mounting. Thus, device 16 is configured to withstand a relatively large temperature range (such as −40 to 85 deg. C.), mechanical vibrations, and relative humidity in excess of 90%. Such environmental resistance is effected primarily through the selection of robust components, as will be described later in the specification. Optional enclosure 18 (shown in phantom) provides added durability and can be any known enclosure such as a National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure, or an explosion-proof enclosure. The process device embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a number of inputs and outputs, and includes suitable computing circuitry (shown in FIG. 2) to execute a user generated control algorithm. The algorithm is comprised of a number of logic statements relating specific input events to outputs controlled by device 16. The user can change the algorithm either by interfacing locally with device 16, or by communicating with device 16 over control loop 14. The algorithm can be generated using conventional logic generation software such as Relay Ladder Logic and Sequential Function Charts (SFC's). In this sense, device 16 can be considered a two-wire field-mountable programmable logic controller. Although the description will focus upon the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, such description is provided for clarity, since embodiments employing solely inputs, or outputs are expressly contemplated. Traditionally devices with the computational power of device 16 could not be operated upon two-wire process control loops due to prohibitive power constraints.
[0022] Process device 16 is coupled to sensors 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 as well as actuators 32 and 34. Sensors 20, 22 and 24 are thermocouples, of known type, which are coupled to various process points to provide voltage signals based upon process variables at the respective process points. Resistance Temperature Devices (RTD's) 26, 28 and 30 are also coupled to various process points and provide a resistance that is based upon process temperature at the respective process points. RTD 26 is coupled to device 16 through a known three-wire connection and illustrates that various wiring configurations can be used with embodiments of the present invention. Actuators 32 and 34 are coupled to process device 16 and actuate suitable valves, switches and the like based upon control signals from device 16. As noted above, device 16 can execute a user generated control algorithm to relate specific input conditions to specific output commands. For example, device 16 may sense a process fluid temperature, and cause actuator 32 to engage a heater coupled to the process fluid in order to maintain the fluid temperature at a selected level.
[0023]FIG. 2 is a system block diagram of device 16 shown in FIG. 1. Device 16 includes loop communicator 36, power module 38, controller 40, and channels 42, 44, 46, 48, and memory 52. Loop communicator 36 is coupled to process control loop 14 and is adapted for bi-directional data communication over loop 14. Loop communicator 36 can include a known communication device such as a traditional FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus communication controller or the like. Additionally, communicator 36 can include suitable isolation circuitry to facilitate compliance with the intrinsic safety specification as set forth in the Factory Mutual Approval Standard entitled "Intrinsically Safe Apparatus and Associated Apparatus for Use in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 Hazardous (Classified) Locations," Class Number 3610, published October 1988.
[0024] Power module 38 is coupled to loop 14 such that power module 38 provides power to all components of device 16 based upon power received from loop 14. Although power module 38 has a single arrow 50 indicating that power module 38 provides power to all components, it is noted that such power can be provided at multiple voltages. For example, power module 38 preferably includes a switching power supply that provides electrical power at a plurality of voltages. Thus, some components such as the A/D converters and the isolators can receive a higher voltage such as 4.9 volts, while low-power components such the controller 40, memory 52 and loop communicator 36 receive a lower voltage such as 3.0 volts. Additionally, power module 38 is preferably programmable to such an extent that at least one of the voltages provided can be varied. The selectable nature of power module 38 facilitates power management, which will be described later in the specification.
[0025] Controller 40 is coupled to memory 52 and executes program instructions stored therein. Memory 52 is preferably low-power memory operating on 3.0 volts, such as the model LRS1331, available from Sharp Electronics. Additionally, memory 52 can be "stacked" memory in which both flash memory and volatile memory are provided on a single memory module. The user generated control algorithm, or "program" executed by controller 40 can be changed by a user either by coupling to device 16 locally, or by accessing device 16 through loop 14. In some embodiments the program includes instructions that relate process event inputs to outputs determined by controller 40. In this sense, device 16 functions similarly to a programmable logic controller, which is a device that typically has not been robust enough for field-mounting, nor able to operate on the low power levels of two-wire field devices. However, by so providing the functions of a programmable logic controller, much more sophisticated process control algorithms can be implemented through a user friendly interface, such as Relay Ladder Logic or the like.
[0026] Controller 40 receives power from module 38, and communicates with loop communicator 36. Controller 40 preferably includes a low-power microprocessor such as the model MMC 2075 microprocessor available from Motorola Inc. of Schaumburg, Ill. Additionally, controller 40 preferably has a selectable internal clock rate such that the clock rate of controller 40, and thus the computing speed and power consumption, can be selected through suitable commands sent to device 16 over loop 14. Since higher clock speeds will cause controller 40 to draw more power, clock selection of controller 40, and selection of the voltage level provided by power module 38 to controller 40 are preferably performed in tandem. In this manner the processing speed and power consumption of device 16 are selectable and vary together.
[0027] Controller 40 is coupled to the various channels through interface bus 54, which is preferably a serial bus designed for high speed data communication such as a Synchronous Peripheral Interface (SPI). Channels 42, 44, 46 and 48 are coupled to bus 54 through communication isolators 56, 58, 60 and 62, respectively, which are preferably known optoisolators, but which can be any suitable isolation devices such as transformers or capacitors. In some embodiments, channels 42, 44, 46 and 48 provide data in parallel form, and parallel-serial converters 64 are used to translate the data between serial and parallel forms. Preferably, converters 64 are Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UART's).
[0028] Channel 42 is coupled to controller 40, and includes sensor terminals 1-n, multiplexer (MUX) 66, analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 68, communication isolator 56, and power isolator 70. It is contemplated that communication isolator 56 and power isolator 70 can be combined in a single circuit. Channel 42 is specifically adapted to measure a specific sensor type such as thermocouples, resistance temperature devices, strain gauges, pressure sensors, or other sensor type. Each sensor terminal is adapted to couple a single sensor, such as a thermocouple, to multiplexer 66. Multiplexer 66 selectively couples one of the sensors to A/D converter 68 such that a characteristic of the sensor (voltage for a thermocouple) is measured and communicated to controller 40 through isolator 56 and UART 64. Power for channel 42 is received from power module 38 through power isolator 70. Power isolator 70 is preferably a transformer, but can be any suitable device. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that communication isolator 56 and power isolator 70 cooperate to ensure that channel 42 is electrically isolated from the rest of device 16.
[0029] Channel 44 is similar to channel 42, and like components are numbered similarly. Channel 44 can be configured to measure sensors of a different type than that of channel 42. For example, in one embodiment, channel 42 is configured to measure the voltage of thermocouples, and channel 44 is configured to measure the resistance of RTD's. Each sensor terminal in channel 44 is thus configured to couple to an RTD in a two, three, or four-wire (Kelvin) connection. Because channels 42 and 44 are each electrically isolated from the rest of device 16, coupling a first independently grounded sensor to channel 42, and a second independently grounded sensor to channel 44 does not result in the generation of undesirable ground loop errors. Additionally, since each channel can be configured for a specific type of sensor, which can be optimized for a specific application, parameters such as A/D precision and conversion rate can be tailored for the specific sensor type. For example, a channel designed for high-precision may employ an A/D converter of configured to provide a very high accuracy having a relatively slower conversion time. Conversely, a channel designed for sensors that measure a process variable that can changes quickly can employ a lower precision high speed A/D converter. Essentially, any sensor input can be switched between operation with resistance-type sensors to operation with voltage-type sensors based upon configuration information received from controller 40. Controller 40 can provide the configuration information based upon information received over loop 14, or through a local input (not shown). Additionally, controller 40 can provide configuration information to the channels to adjust analog-to-digital sampling rates for each channel, or even for each sensor. This is particularly advantageous where sensor rates of change are anticipated based upon information known about the process.
[0030] Channel 46 is similar to channels 42 and 44, however since channel 46 is configured to receive digital inputs, it does not include an analog-to-digital converter. As illustrated, inputs 1-n are coupled to multiplexer 66 which conveys the signal of a selected input to bus 54 through communication isolator 60 and UART 64. In some digital input embodiments, the input level may be such that the digital inputs could be provided directly to UART 64 through isolator 60. Digital inputs are generally indicative of logic-type signals such as contact closure in limit switches as the like. However, digital inputs 1-n can also be coupled to digital outputs of other process devices such that the inputs represent logic signals such as alarms or other Boolean type signals.
[0031] Channel 48 is similar to channel 46, but essentially operates in reverse compared to channel 46. Thus, serial information sent to channel 48 through the UART is converted into parallel form, and conveyed across communication isolator 62 to set individual actuator outputs. Thus, logic signals are sent to the terminals labeled ACTUATOR 1-n to cause actuators coupled to such terminals (not shown) to engage or disengage as desired. Such actuators can be any suitable device such as valve controllers, heaters, motor controllers and any other suitable device. Essentially, any device that is addressable based upon a logic type output is an actuator.
[0032]FIG. 3 is a system block diagram of a method of providing a process variable with a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The method begins at block 80 where a field-mountable process device is wholly powered by a two-wire process control loop. At block 82, the process device is coupled to a first sensor through a first isolated input channel. A sensor signal is acquired through the first isolated input channel, which signal is indicative of a process variable. At block 84, the process device is coupled to a second sensor through a second isolated input channel in order to acquire a second sensor signal. Since the first and second input channels are isolated, independent grounding of the first and second sensors will not cause undesirable ground loop errors. At block 86, the process device computes a process variable based upon one or both of the sensor signals. Moreover, although the method is described with respect to two sensors, a number of additional sensors could be used such that the process variable would be a function of any number of sensor signals. For example, the process device could average the values of the sensor, provide their difference, standard deviation, or any other appropriate function. At block 88, the computed process device is output. Such output can be in the form of information sent over the process control loop, a local display, or a local output effected through an output channel.
[0033]FIG. 4 is a system block diagram of a method of operating a field-mounted process device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. At block 80, the device is wholly powered by the two-wire process control loop. At block 92, the device receives an input. Such input can be in the form of signals received through input channels, such as the multiple isolated input channels described above, in the form of process information received through the two-wire process control loop, in the form of a local input, or any combination of input signals and information. At block 94, the device executes user-programmable logic to relate the input information to one or more process outputs. The user-programmable logic can be simple or complex algorithms such as ladder logic, SFC's, fuzzy logic, Adaptive Control, or neural networks and the like. At block 96, the device provides the output determined via operation of the user-programmable logic. The output can be a local output, either digital or analog, or the output can be sent as information over the two-wire process control loop.
[0034] Although the present invention has been described with reference to embodiments of two-wire process device having four channels, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which are defined by the appended claims. For example, although various modules have been illustrated and described separately, it is expressly contemplated that some such modules can be physically embodied together, such as on an Application Specific Integrated Circuit. Further, although controller 40 is described as a single module, its functions can be distributed upon multiple microprocessors such that one microprocessor could provide low-level I/O interaction, such as calibration, linearization and the like, while a second microprocessor executes the user-generated control algorithm. Additionally, although the description has focussed upon inputs and outputs being provided through the disclosed channels, it is expressly contemplated that some process inputs or process outputs could be communicated from/to other process devices through the process control loop.

Horror as mother and her two daughters, aged eight and four, found murdered inside closet of their home
A 29-year-old mother was discovered murdered along with her two young daughters in a closet of their home outside the Miami suburb of Flagami Tuesday, according to police..
A neighbor found the bodies of the woman identified by friends as Gladys Machado and her children, eight-year-old Julia Padrino and four-year-old Daniela Padrino.
According to Detective Roy Rutland, at around 2.30pm, the neighbor smelled a foul odor wafting from the residence on the 7300 block of Northwest 4th Street and went to investigate.
Tragedy: Glays Sierra, left, was found murdered in her home alog with her two daughters, eight-year-old Julia, center, and four-year-old Daniela, right
Little princesses: Machado had Julia, left, and Daniela, with her ex-boyfriend, Michael Padrino, who is also the father of her six-year-old son. The boy was not present during the murders
Mystery: Gladys, pictured with her daughter Daniela, wrote a cryptic message on Facebook on Friday night
Investigation: Police have not released how Machado and her daughters, including Julia (pictured right), died, but they classified the incident as a murder
After searching the premises, the neighbor made the gruesome discovery inside one of the closets.
The cause of death has not been released by police, who classified the incident as murder.
A female friend of Machado's said that last Friday, the two made plans for the weekend, but the 29-year-old woman later told her she couldn't go out. Machado was never heard from again.
According to the Miami Herald, Machado lived with her husband who was recently released from jail.
'They were nice people overall,' neighbor Kristofer Delgado told CBS Miami. 'It troubles us to see this now because we couldn't expect anything to happen to them like this.'
Danger: Mrs Sierra had a violent fight in her car with her estranged husband before her death, a police report said
Doomed beauty: Machado worked as an administrative assistant for the Beauty Schools of America
Police say they are looking for a particular person of interest in connection with the slayings, but they have not released the suspect's name or description.
On Tuesday, friends and relatives,
including the father of Machado's three children, Michael Padrino,
gathered outside the house where the young woman was killed, according
to the Herald.
The man told the paper that Machado's third child, six-year-old Michael, was safe with his grandmother. The boy was not present during the murders.
Machado worked as an administrative assistant for the Beauty Schools of America and had attended Keiser University, according to her Facebook page.
Crime scene: The bodies or Machado and her daughters were discovered inside a closet in the home on Northwest 4th Street near Flagami
Gruesome find: A neighbor came across the slain woman and her kids after smelling a foul odor coming from her home
Olga Cecilia Espinoza, whose children
attended the same school as Machado's kids, described the 29-year-old as a
good mother who was chatty and friendly.
Espinoza said she last tried to reach Machado at around 10pm Friday, but received no response.
Several hours later, the 29-year-old woman posted an odd message on Facebook saying: 'Where this road goes no one knows.'
Machado's husband has an extensive
criminal record. Records show that 29-year-old Alberto Sierra, was
accused of domestic battery on Machado in October 2010.
According to an arrest report, the
two had a 'heated argument,' and Sierra bit his then-girlfriend Machado
on the left forearm, then stole her gun and drove off.
'The only way you're getting this gun back is to shoot me,' he told her before escaping, according to the report cited by the Herald.
Two months later, sierra was arrested for drug and weapon possession. The man admitted to police that he had stolen a 9-mm Smith & Wesson pistol and ammo during a burglary.
Devastated: Machado's friend Olga Cecilia Espinoza described the victim was a good mother who was friendly and talkative
In June 2011, sierra was sentenced to a year of probation, but within two months he was re-arrested for driving, even though he was listed as a 'habitual traffic offender.'
Machado and Sierra were married in October 2011. The following month, police investigating a burglary came to the couple's Flagami-area home, where they found two guns.
Sierra was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and his probation was revoked. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 364 days in jail. He was released June 22.

Corey Robin: The Question of Palestine at Brooklyn College, Then and NowRoundup: Talking About History
tags: Palestine, Corey Robin, Hannah Arendt, Brooklyn College, Zionism, BDS
Corey Robin is an American political theorist, journalist and associate professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
In 1942, Brooklyn College hired a young instructor to teach a summer course on Modern European history. Though academically trained, the instructor was primarily known as the author of a series of incendiary articles in the Jewish press on Jewish politics and Zionism.
An active though ambivalent Zionist, the instructor did not shy from scorching criticism of the movement for Jewish settlement in Palestine. She had already come to some unsettling conclusions in private. In an unpublished essay, she compared the Zionists to the Nazis, arguing that both movements assumed that the Jews were "totally foreign" to other peoples based on their "inalterable substance." She wrote in a letter that she found "this territorial experiment" of the Jews in Palestine "increasingly problematic." By the spring of 1942, she was more public in her criticisms. In March, she wrote that the Irgun—the Jewish paramilitary group whose most prominent commander was Menachem Begin—was a "fascist organization" that "employed terrorist methods in their fight against Arabs in Palestine."
In the coming years, despite her continuing involvement in Zionist politics, she would grow even more critical of the movement. The very idea of the State of Israel, she would write in 1943, was "based on the idea that tomorrow's majority [the Jews] will concede minority rights to today's majority [the Palestinians], which indeed would be something brand-new in the history of nation-states." In 1944, she accused a circle of Jewish fighters of believing "not only that ends justify means but also that only an end that can be achieved by terror is worth their effort." By the end of that year, she had come to the conclusion that the extreme position within Zionism, which she consistently associated with fascism, was now the mainstream position of David Ben Gurion, and that that fascist tendency had been latent within Theodor Herzl's original vision all along. By 1948, the year the State of Israel was founded, she would write: "The general mood of the country, moreover, has been such that terrorism and the growth of totalitarian methods are silently tolerated and secretly applauded."
The name of that instructor was Hannah Arendt.
If Brooklyn College could tolerate the instructor who wrote those words in 1942—and would go onto write those words of 1944 and 1948—surely it, and the City of New York, can tolerate the co-sponsorship by the political science department of a panel on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement in 2013.
