Final Report Published by the Section Task Force on Mediator Credentialing
In October 2011, the Section Council appointed a Task Force to recommend whether the Section should adopt a policy on mediator credentialing. The Task Force concluded that the Section should not support creating a single nationwide credentialing system because there is a lack of consensus at this time about the attributes of the mediation process or a process for determining competency. However, the Task Force recommended that the Section should support local initiatives and innovations in mediator credentialing provided they meet six guidelines for what an effective credentialing program should include:
1. Clearly define the skills, knowledge and values that credentialed persons must possess.
2. Ensure candidates have training adequate to install those skills, knowledge and values.
3. Be administered by an organization distinct from the organization that trains the candidate.
4. Have an assessment process capable of consistently determining whether candidates possess the defined skills, knowledge and values.
5. Explain clearly to persons likely to rely on its credential what is being certified.
6. Provide an accessible, transparent system to handle complaints against credentialed mediators, including de-credentialing mediators who fail to comply with the standards.
The Task Force expressed that Section should not support credentialing systems that operate as mandatory licensing programs, programs that bar non-lawyers from becoming credentialed, or programs that bar disputants from selecting a non-credentialed mediator.

AMD Goes Open Source with APL
AMD has released its AMD Performance Library (APL) under the Apache License 2.0 as the Open Source Framewave project.
According to AMD the library not only handles arithmetic operations but provides optimized image and signal handling. This will developers the ability to eke more performance out of multiple core and multiple CPU systems. The library's properties are particularly useful for media player software, codecs, image manipulation, audio applications and streaming says AMD.
AMD's motivation for going Open Source is to optimize the software by giving partners, customers and the community the ability to contribute. In addition to this, AMD is looking to extend the library's functionality by letting contributors implement features that reflect their own needs. To support this objective AMD says that it will support developers by continuing to work on developing the library. The project homepage also has setup how-tos for build systems.
AMD opted for the Apache License 2.0. Version 1.0 of the Framewave library is available from Sourceforge.net as a zipped tar archive with or without source code for the Linux, Solaris, Mac OS and Windows platforms.

This invention relates to liquid jet droplet generators and more particularly to a generator component of this character for use in non-impact printing systems employing directed ink droplets.
Although the field of ink jet droplet printing is to be commended for its advancements, still the printing speeds and print quality achieved to date fall far short of matching the operating speeds of computer elements and particularly the output information capable of being provided by computers for producing printed records. The prior art has accomplished droplet formation by causing the nozzle to be vibrated but this required a delicate vibrating structure to form the droplets. Other workers in this art have employed supersonic compressional waves in tapered liquid or solid bodies as witnessed by the comparatively early U.S. Patent to Hansell No. 2,512,743. Further developments of this character are disclosed in the U.S. Patents to Naiman No. 3,211,088 and Stemme No. 3,747,120. Although these patents disclose certain features which are common to the present invention, their respective constructions and assemblies are such that they are unable to operate at the higher frequencies and hydrostatic pressures desired for high speed association with electronic data processing equipment.
Accordingly, it is an important object of the invention to provide an improved liquid jet droplet generator which is capable of operating at high frequencies and at high hydrostatic pressures.
Another important object of the invention is to provide such a droplet generator which is capable of handling liquids of substantially greater viscosities.
Another important object of the invention is to provide an improved liquid droplet generator for use in high speed jet printers which enables the attainment of high printing quality whether at the same droplet formation rate of the prior art or at droplet formation frequencies substantially greater than heretofore achieved.
A further important object of the invention is to provide an improved ink jet droplet generator which uses substantially higher viscosity inks, employs substantially higher hydrostatic pressures and operates at substantially greater frequencies.
A further important object of the invention is to provide a highly efficient resonant vibrating system for creating and transmitting pressure variations to the immediate vicinity of the jet stream discharge orifice.
A further important object of the invention is to provide an improved acoustically operated liquid jet droplet generator which is designed in a novel manner to develop and make effective usage of acoustic energy.
In carrying out these and other objects, the present invention contemplates a liquid jet droplet generator particularly adapted for non-impact printing systems, but not necessarily limited thereto, which employs directed ink droplets for deposit upon record members. The generator includes a generally conically shaped but preferably exponentially tapered liquid containing cavity within a suitable body, the cavity opening out at its apex end to form a jet stream discharge orifice and provided adjacent to its wider end with a passage through the body serving as an inlet for the supply of liquid, such as ink, thereto. A resonant vibrating component preferably formed of two similarly exponentially tapered solid horns are aligned on a common axis and have their wider ends in surface contact with the opposite sides of a piezoelectric type member capable of converting pulsating electrical voltages into ultrasonic mechanical pressure vibrations. This component is mounted so that the apex end of the front horn abuts a tuned diaphragm closing the wider end of the cavity thereby setting up pressure waves in the cavity which are concentrated at the discharge orifice to cause the jet stream to break up into regularly spaced droplets a short distance from the orifice.
Various features of the invention include a resonant vibratory system which is modeled mathematically in analogy to electric transmission line equations for transmitting pressure variations from a piezoelectric type vibrating element to the immediate vicinity of the capillary size discharge nozzle. In addition, the resonant vibrating system is so structured that it establishes standing waves of alternating maximum and minimum pressures throughout the system, but especially in the fluid filled cavity where in the operation of the system a standing wave of maximum pressure is located at the discharge nozzle and a standing wave of minimum pressure is located at the ink supply inlet into the cavity. This inlet is further designed so that its largest dimension which is represented by its length in the in-flow direction lies in a plane coinciding with a standing wave of small or minimum amplitude for inhibiting the escape of vibrating energy from the cavity.
Various other objects, advantages and meritorious features of the invention will become more fully apparent from the following specification, appended claims and accompanying drawing sheets wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an ink jet droplet printing system including an acoustic droplet generator embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal cross sectional view through the acoustic droplet generator of FIG. 1 and showing in greater dimensional detail the shape and connections of the parts to one another;
FIG. 3 is an explanatory electrical analogy of the droplet generator illustrated in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the jet stream discharge nozzle employed in the generator of FIG. 2;
FIGS. 5A and 5B are greatly enlarged views of the break-up of the jet stream into successively formed droplets and schematically illustrating the electrical charging of the droplets as they are formed;
FIG. 6 illustrates a desirable electrical driving circuit for the droplet generator of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 7 illustrates a preferred shape of the inlet passage.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the invention. Briefly, the system includes an ink droplet generating and control assembly employing an improved acoustic or ultrasonic vibrator component generally indicated at 20 which causes periodic vibrations in the pressure of the ink at the location of the nozzle 22. This in turn causes modulations in the velocity at which the ink is ejected from the nozzle, thus breaking up the stream of ink 24 into uniformly spaced apart fine droplets of ink 26. The breaking up of the ink stream 24 into droplets is controlled to occur at a uniform distance from the nozzle 22 and at this location an electrostatic charging device is provided which is herein shown in the form of a pair of charging electrodes or plates 28--28 extending in parallel relation to one another on opposite sides of the "break-off" point of the droplet stream. Depending upon the use of each ink droplet, it will be either charged varying amounts by the charging plates 28--28 or left uncharged.
The ink droplets 26 initially follow one behind the other into the entrance end of a spaced apart conjugate pair of elongated droplet deflection electrodes 30 and 32 which extend in the general direction of travel of the droplets and terminate close to the recording surface upon which the charged droplets impinge. In order to form readable characters on documents and the like, relative movement is provided between the document and the ink droplet generating and control assembly. In the illustrated system the documents 34 are supported for translatable movement in one direction across the projected stream of ink droplets 26 such as shown at the left of FIG. 1. Opposite voltage polarities are applied to the deflection plates 30 and 32 from suitable direct current sources which establish the existence of an electrical field or potential difference between these two electrodes which is maintained relatively constant. One such electrode 30 may be positively charged and the other 32 negatively charged as shown in FIG. 1. In the schematic illustration of FIG. 1, the only droplets in the stream which bear charges are charged negatively by the plate electrodes 28--28. As a result the charged droplets are angularly deflected upwardly toward the positive electrode 30 an amount proportional to the magnitude of the negative electric charge carried by each charged droplet. The direction of the electric deflection force is upwards in the schematic view of FIG. 1. The motion of the document or other indicia media is to the right as shown by the arrows associated with the document 34 in FIG. 1.
The uncharged ink droplets, which are unaffected by the deflection controlling electrodes 30 and 32, are delivered along a straight path and are therefore caught by an ink droplet catcher 36 and delivered to an ink supply reservoir 38. Ink in the reservoir is fed under pressure into the system, and for such purpose the inlet of a pump 40 is immersed into the ink supply in the reservoir and the outlet of the pump forms a pressurized ink inlet tube 42 to an ink cavity 54 interposed between the ultrasonic vibrator 20 and the ink jet nozzle 22.
The droplet charging and droplet break away processes are very closely interconnected. The droplets shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B have the following history. As the ink jet stream 24 moves forward, the neck of liquid connecting each adjacent pair of embryo droplets becomes successively smaller. When each neck reaches the point of break away, it has shrunk to a diameter typically several ten-thousandths of an inch. As each droplet passes the point of break away, its connecting neck of liquid to the jet stream finally breaks and separates its leading droplet from the one behind it.
At the instant of separation, if droplet N+1 in FIG. 5A has no electrical charge on it, it will carry no charge after it has separated from the droplet stream. Thus, in FIG. 5A, at the times of break away of the earlier formed droplets N+ 3, N+2, and N+ 1, the voltage E on the charging plates 28--28 was zero. FIG. 5A shows droplet N just before break away takes place at a time when a positive voltage of value EN has been applied to the electrode charging plates 28--28 on either side of the droplet stream just after the preceding uncharged droplet N+ 1 has broken away. The resulting distribution of negative electric charge on the jet stream is shown schematically in FIG. 5A. It should be noted that under such circumstance all droplets which have not yet broken free from the stream 24 have the same sign of electric charge upon them.
The situation at one droplet period later in time is shown in FIG. 5B. Droplet N has moved forward to the position previously occupied by droplet N+ 1 and carries a negative charge. Droplet N- 1 has now moved forward to the break away position. If the voltage on the electrodes remains the same as when droplet N was in the break away position, the electric charge appearing on droplet N- 1 after break away will be less than the charge on droplet N. Past workers in the art have realized the occurrence of this loss in charge as between two consecutively formed droplets. It has been the practice in the art to interpose an uncharged droplet between every adjacent pair of charged droplets, thereby providing an electrostatic shield between the charged droplets to minimize this interaction as recited on page 2-2 of the publication of A. B. Dick Company, copyright 1971, entitled "VIDEOJET, M9600 Printer, Technical Description". This past practice of providing shielding droplets is avoided in the herein illustrated system which provides an electronic correction for such reduction in charges as hereinafter described.
Returning to FIG. 1, the illustrated embodiment of the invention is designed to vibrate at one desired operating frequency, such as 300 kilohertz, and employs several resonant sections: (1) a rear solid metallic horn 44 which in the illustrated embodiment is set to vibrate at the desired frequency and which also serves as an electrical conductor for delivering current from a terminal 46 to an abuttable vibratory transducer 48, (2) the vibratory transducer 48 is preferably a piezoelectric crystal disc for converting the electric pulses into ultrasonic pressure vibrations, and (3) a tapered solid exponential front horn 50 of supersonic wave transmitting material has its apex end terminating in a plate or wall 52 for transmitting the pressure vibrations into the liquid ink content of a tapered or conically-shaped cavity 54 formed in a body 56. The plate 51 also functions to close the larger end of the cavity 54. The ejection ink nozzle 22 at the smaller end of the cavity 54 is preferably a firm, rigid, virtually indestructable mounting of a jeweled sapphire shaped for this purpose. The driver circuit indicated by block 58 for the crystal transducer generates plus going pulses whose spacing is equal to the operating frequency of the droplet generator. As hereinafter described, the driver circuit 58 also contains a series connected resonant circuit which generates large sinusoidal voltages and applies the same through the terminal 46 to the rear horn 44 of the vibrator for driving the piezoelectric transducer.
With the increased speed of the droplet printing system of the present invention, each droplet in addition to experiencing a deflection force dependent upon its electric charge, also experiences an air drag force dependent upon the size and velocity of the droplet through the atmospheric air. The improved laminar air flow feature of the illustrated system minimizes the problem created by the "air drag" force encountered by the droplets. The illustrated system operates in the 300 kilohertz region, but the effect of air drag force on each droplet is increased geometrically to about six or seven times greater than that encountered by the droplet in the 100 kilohertz range. By creating a laminar flow of air collinearly with the droplet stream, the air drag force is reduced to an acceptable magnitude. The laminar air flow also reduces the "wake" of the disturbed air created by each droplet and encountered by the next succeeding droplet.
As schematically shown in FIG. 1, the laminar air flow is accomplished by inducing air to flow through the droplet deflection assembly generally indicated at 60 collinearly with the initial direction of the droplet stream 26 and preferably at a rate of speed approximating half of that of the ink droplets. This air flow is then preferably suctioned through the droplet deflection assembly 30-32 by providing one or more inlet openings surrounding the ink droplet generator assembly through which atmospheric air is induced to enter and then induced to flow through a reduced air-tight passage in the droplet deflection assembly which closely surrounds the droplet stream and the deflection electrodes 30 and 32. An air suction line 62 leading from a source of low air pressure is connected to the upper portion of the ink reservoir 38 which is sealed off from the atmosphere such as in the manner illustrated in FIG. 1 and serves to create the desired subatmospheric pressure therein for inducing air to flow through the passage in the deflection assembly and to enter the catcher 36 along with the unused ink droplets. The high rate of the air flow thus created also serves to scavenge the walls of the ink return path to the reservoir. This feature is disclosed and claimed in the copending application for patent in the names of David E. Lundquist, Arvin D. McGregor and Paul R. Hoffman, Ser. No. 625,811, filed Oct. 24, 1975, entitled Air Turbulence Control of Inflight Ink Droplets in Non-Impact Recorders, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,972,051, granted July 27, 1976, and of common ownership herewith.
Another feature of the herein illustrated and described system is the provision of an electrical charge correction circuit for the purpose of making use of each droplet in sequence during the printing of characters rather than using only alternate droplets for printing as practiced in the prior art. In developing the system to which this invention relates, it was found that the electrostatic charge applied to each ink droplet as it is formed would affect the charge carried by the successive droplet. To overcome this, past workers in the art suggested charging only every other droplet in order to make each interposing uncharged droplet serve as an electric shield between the adjacent charged droplets. The uncharged droplets would then be discarded or recirculated after they have served this shielding function, whereas in a system embodying the change correction circuit feature, those droplets selected for printing can be sequentially charged in close array and used for printing characters without requiring the interposition of a shield droplet between each adjacent pair of charged droplets. This is accomplished by the use of a memory in the droplet charging circuits represented in FIG. 1 by the block 64 which examines the train of electric pulses from the character generator and retains in its memory the command given to the previous droplet. This feature substantially improves the speed and efficiency of the system.
The herein illustrated and described ink jet droplet generator makes use of acoustic or ultrasonic vibrations in the body of ink contained in a cavity and from which the ink escapes through a nozzle 22 having a small discharge orifice, such as 0.002 inch. These vibrations cause periodic variations in the hydraulic pressure at the location of the nozzle. The pressure variations cause modulation of the velocity at which the ink is ejected from the nozzle. These velocity variations cause the stream of liquid to break into uniformly spaced fine droplets at a point beyond the nozzle. As earlier mentioned herein, the technique employs a rigid, virtually indestructable mounting of a jeweled sapphire in the nozzle 22 having an orifice therein through which the ink jet stream 24 is discharged. The nozzle can be removed for cleaning or replacement easily. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibratory elements and the nozzle are separated from one another and each assembly can be changed, repaired, or replaced independently of the other.
Prior techniques utilized relatively low pressures to force low viscosity liquid inks through the nozzle. Such early techniques made use of liquid inks of typical viscosity of 2 to 10 centipose and hydrostatic pressures of up to 85 lb/in2. The present described technique makes use of liquids of viscosity up to 45 centipose and greater, and can use hydrostatic pressures up to 400 lbs/in2. The advantage of such a choice of higher viscosity inks and higher pressures lies in the attainment of higher printing quality at the same droplet rate as in the prior art. Moreover, the use of higher pressures allows operation at frequencies substantially greater than that of the prior art.
The ink droplet generator of FIG. 1 is shown in considerably larger scale and greater dimensional detail in FIG. 2 hereof. Referring more particularly to FIG. 2, the generator comprises the following parts, whose respective functions are as follows:
1. The rear horn 44 has a tapered resonant vibrating section 44' preferably operating at 300 kilohertz and a cylindrical section 44" abutting the crystal transducer 48. The rear horn is a solid mass of electrically conductive material and carries the electric current to the abutting surface of the crystal transducer. The crystal therefore should be electrically insulated from grounded parts.
2. The crystal transducer 48 converts electrical power into ultrasonic pressure vibrations in the horns. It is bonded on one side to the cylindrical section of the rear horn 44 and on the opposite to the cylindrical section 50" of the front horn 50. This transducer, together with the cylindrical sections 44" and 50" of the two horns, form a second resonant section also similarly operating at the preferred rate of 300 kilohertz.
3. The front horn 50 has its tapered section 50' integrally connected to a stub section constituted by a thicker annularly shaped section 51 and a thinner central diaphragm section 52. The tapered section 50' forms a third resonant section of the droplet generator also operating at the desired 300 kilohertz frequency. The smaller or apex end of the tapered horn section 50' is shown joined integrally to the central portion of the vibrating wall or diaphragm 52 which forms the fourth resonant section of the generator operating at the same frequency and which transmits the pressure vibrations into the liquid ink contained inside the cavity 54.
4. The specially formed conically tapered cavity 54 in the cavity block 56 is designed to transmit and concentrate the pressure oscillations in its ink content toward and into the immediate region of the nozzle 22.
5. The ink inlet passage into the droplet generator cavity 54 is shown at 66 in FIG. 2 and is formed as a specially calculated cutaway portion of a thin seal (not shown) located between the vibrating diaphragm 52 and the adjacent end wall of the cavity block 56. As later pointed out herein, the inlet passage 66 is so located as to prevent the escape of vibrating pressures from the cavity.
6. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the nozzle 22 is secured in place by a holder 67, which is threadedly mounted in the forward end of the block 56 and provides an easily removable mounting for the nozzle. The orifice 68 of the nozzle converts the modulated pressure of the ink in the cavity 54 into the kinetic energy of motion of the ink jet stream 24.
7. The modulated jet ink stream 24 breaks into the tiny droplets 26 beyond the unthreaded end of the holder 67 but at a fraction of an inch distant from the nozzle's orifice.
8. The outlet end of the ink supply tube 42 is fitted into the block 56 and communicates with the ink inlet passage 66 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2.
the entire acoustic droplet generator system may be modeled mathematically in analogy to the electric transmission line equations which are well known in electrical engineering. FIG. 3 shows the equivalent circuit for this entire system in comparative relation to the mechanical parts of the droplet generator of FIG. 2. In the electrical analogy, the total force at a given cross-section is analogous to the voltage appearing on the transmission line at that point. In FIG. 3, the nozzle 22 is represented by an electrical resistance 22' and the ink inlet 66 by another such resistance 66'. Since the illustrated design is a valveless ink metering system, it is desirable to arrange a standing wave pattern for the vibratory system such that the standing wave at the nozzle is of large amplitude so as to provide the most efficient break away of the droplets. On the other hand, the standing wave at the ink inlet is of small amplitude so as not to allow the energy of vibration to escape from the cavity 54 by way of the inlet passage.
The liquid in the exponential cavity 54 is directly connected to the exponential horn 50. In a rough approximation, the diaphgram 52 is a one to one ratio impedance transformer for the transmission of impulses from the small end of the tapered horn 50' into the liquid cavity 54. Such a system, as shown in FIG. 3, is a resonant system.
The entire system as shown can be analyzed to solve for the locations of high and low voltages on the system, and to show how these antinodes and nodes move or change with frequency changes. The arrows and associated legends at the bottom of FIG. 3 show the intended locations of these voltages or impedance maxima and minima. These maxima and minima, respectively identified as "HI" for pressure antinodes and "LO" for pressure nodes in FIG. 3, can be approximately located without resorting to the exact solution to the impedance transfer equations. The design intent for the illustrated acoustic droplet generator system is as follows:
A. the nozzle is located at a maximum of impedance in order to have large pressure variations at the nozzle.
B. the ink inlet 66 is located at a minimum of impedance in order to prevent loss of pressure vibrations from the ink cavity 54.
C. the drive crystal 48 is located at a maximum of impedance in order to achieve efficient electromechanical coupling.
These design criteria, together with the impedance criteria, form a highly desirable basis for the vibratory elements of the acoustic droplet generator.
It is evident from a comparison of FIGS. 2 and 3 that the correspondingly marked dotted vertical lines appearing in the two Figures and identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H coincide with one another and represent similar cross sections of the two Figures. These sections may be identified and described as follows: (1) the nozzle section identified at A which includes the small orifice 68 and a cone or similarly shaped section 69 disposed within the nozzle and leading up to the orifice, as shown in FIG. 4; (2) the cavity section extending from A to B which includes the ink-filled cavity 54; (3) the thin rectangularly shaped inlet passage 66 identified at B which delivers ink to the cavity 54, such passage lying in a plane that coincides with a standing wave of minimum amplitude thus preventing a loss in pressure vibrations therethrough; (4) the diaphragm section extending from B to C which comprises the tuned vibrating diaphragm supported by the plate 51; and (5) the acoustic vibrator section extending from C to H which includes the exponentially tapered horn 50' illustrated between C and D, the matching cylindrical section 50" illustrated between D and E, the piezoelectric crystal 48 shown between E and F, the matching section 44" of the horn 44 shown between F and G, and the rear exponentially tapered horn 44' illustrated between G and H.
A desirable electrical driving circuit for the inventive ink droplet generator is illustrated in FIG. 6 within the block formed by the dotted outline 70. A variable frequency square wave oscillator 72 is indicated externally of the driving circuit 70 for controlling the latter's frequency. The square wave oscillator is composed of conventional standardized integrated circuit devices including a provision for adjusting the frequency of the oscillator in order to find the optimum operating frequency within the design tolerances. The output of the square wave oscillator or generator 72 is applied at point 74 which serves as the input to the drive circuit. Such output consists of positive-going pulses whose spacing is equal to the operating frequency of the droplet generator. The width of the pulses is equal to one half of the period of repetition with the result that the potential at input point 74 alternates. During half of the cycle the point 74 is at a constant positive potential, for example +5 volts, while during the second half of each cycle the point is at ground potential. The current drawn from the square wave oscillator during the positive portion of the cycle is generally quite small, by way of example, less than 1 milliampere. The transistor 75 generates sufficient current to drive the pair of transistors 78 and 79. In response to the square wave output from transistors 78 and 79, the transistors 80 and 82 alternately switch between conducting and non-conducting states. Consequently, junction point 76 may be considered as alternating between the power supply voltage +38 volts and ground potential. The potential at point 76 in FIG. 6, which serves as the output of the drive circuit, alternates in the same time sequence as the potential at point 74. The electrical current flowing from the output point 76 to and from the capacitor 84 can now be quite large, of the order of hundreds of milliamperes if necessary.
The variable inductor 86, the variable capacitor 88 and the piezoelectric ceramic transducer 48 together form a series-connected resonant circuit. Current flow through the capacitor 84 drives the inductor-capacitor-piezoelectric crystal circuit into electrical resonance. Capacitor 88 is provided to increase the resonant circuit quality factor, or Q, and thereby to increase the driving voltage and current at the piezoelectric crystal. The rapid switching speed of transistors 80 and 82 together with their large current capacity enables large sinusoidal voltages to be generated at point 90 (connected electrically by terminal 46 to the rear horn 44 shown in FIG. 1). Although the drive voltage at output point 76 is a square wave voltage waveform, the current passing through the blocking capacitor 84 is approximately sinusoidal in shape and has a frequency of the square wave repetition rate. The large sinusoidal current and voltages at point 90 provide electrical power for the piezoelectric ceramic transducer 48.
This electrical power is converted as previously described into pressure oscillations in the ink chamber 54 in the region of the nozzle 22. At a given distance beyond the orifice the capillary jet stream 24 breaks into a regular series of ink droplets 26 of uniform size and spacing as previously mentioned. The distance from the orifice at which the break away takes place depends in a monotonic fashion upon the electrical power fed into the piezoelectric transducer. The distance to the break away point should be held essentially constant for proper operation of the droplet generator as a part of a printing device. The circuit, therefore, functions as a very stable and uniform source of electric power for the droplet generator.
FIG. 7 illustrates in enlarged degree a preferred volumetric shape for the ink inlet passage 66 to the cavity 54. It is a rectangularly shaped passage wherein the length of the passage in flow direction is substantially greater than the width of the passage, and the width is substantially greater than the height of the passage. The arrows at the bottom end of the passage 66 in FIG. 7 indicate the direction of the pressure applied to the liquid ink at the entrance to the passage. As earlier mentioned herein the height of the passage is formed by cutting away a portion of a thin seal interposed between the diaphragm 52 and the adjacent wall of the block 54. The cutaway portion would be approximately proportional to the dimensions illustrated in FIG. 7, it being understood that the dimensions of the passage 66 are greatly exaggerated in FIGS. 2 and 7.
While the form of the invention herein disclosed constitutes a presently preferred embodiment, many others are possible. It is not intended herein to mention all of the possible equivalent forms or ramifications of the invention. It is to be understood that the terms used herein are merely descriptive rather than limiting, and that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Sanborn — Winni Waterfront Sales Report April 2015
There were seven waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee in April, 2015 at an average of $1,112,286 and a median price point of $900,000. That brings the total to 27 transactions on the lake thus far this year at an average sales price of $893,148 compared to the same 27 sales last year but with a higher average of $1,254,636.
The entry level sale last month was at 26 Deepwater Point in Moultonborough. This 1965 vintage, three bedroom, two bath, 1,285 square foot ranch style cottage sits on a third acre lot with 150' of sandy frontage. The cottage has a knotty pine interior, wood floors, a wood burning fireplace, a screened porch, and lakeside deck. The cottage is located at the very tip of Deepwater Point with spectacular views of undeveloped waterfront. Pretty nice! This home was listed at $559,000 and sold for $524,000 after 192 days on the market. The current tax assessed value is $583,100.
The median price point representative is at 9 Oakwood Road in Wolfeboro. And what a property it is! This circa 1907 vintage, 4,200 square foot, seven bed, four bath seasonal home is called "Stonehenge of Wolfeboro" and sits on 26.9 acres (three lots of record) with 400 feet of frontage on South Wolfeboro Bay. This classic summer retreat was restored to its past glory and features a two story great room with fieldstone fireplace and wrap around balcony, natural bead board walls, and hardwood flooring. The kitchen has been updated to modern standards and there is a formal dining room for entertaining. The exterior is finished in cedar shakes with lots of stonework...hence the name, Stonehenge. The former owners added a tennis court, pitch and putting greens, and volley ball and badminton courts. You truly take a step back to simpler times here. This home was listed in June of 2012 at $1.495 million, was relisted in May of 2014 at $1.295, and sold for $900,000 after 681 days on the market. The current tax assessed value is $1.31 million. Tennis, anyone?
The highest sale for the month was at 37 Four Seasons Drive in Alton which is just minutes to downtown Wolfeboro. This 6,000 square foot residence was built in 2006 and has five bedrooms, seven baths, a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances including a Thermador range and convection oven, center island, granite counters and breakfast nook. There's a first floor master suite, two additional guest suites upstairs, living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, home theater room, exercise room, sunroom, covered porch, and, of course, a wine cellar. Outside you'll find a wonderfully landscaped world with stone patios, walls, lawns, circular driveway and 125' of frontage with truly fabulous sunset views. There's a three car garage for the toys and separate barn with a heated workshop. This home was first listed at $2.2 million, was reduced to $1.925 million, and sold for $1.735 million after 481 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $1,857,900. I wonder if they are looking for a grounds keeper?
There were two sales on little sister Winnisquam in April. A 1950 vintage, 1,517 square foot cape style home with three bedrooms, two baths, on a third acre lot at 12 Hill Road in Tilton found a new owner. This home isn't exactly on the water, but it has a ten foot right of way to the lake with a dock. Kind of a cheap way to get on the lake. This home was originally listed at $299,900, reduced to $279,900, and sold for $255,000 after 249 days on the market. The current tax assessment is $195,000.
The other Winnisquam sale was on the Gold Coast at 514 Shore Drive in Laconia. This is a 2,644 square foot contemporary style home with four bedrooms and three baths. The home was constructed in 1969 and is in impeccable condition. It was designed with an open concept layout for great entertaining space and to be bright and sunny. The real selling feature here was the wonderfully large 2.28 acre lot situated on a point of land that provides great privacy. The property has 392' of westerly facing frontage providing stunning sunset views, a U shaped dock, plus a perched beach. This home was listed in September of 2013 for $1.15 million, brought back on the market in February of this year at $989,000, and sold for $875,000 after a total of 447 days on the market. It is assessed at $914,800.

Michelle Malkin - Obamacare exchanges on life support
At a recent White House science fair celebrating inventors, a Girl Scout who helped design a Lego-powered page-turning device asked President Obama what he had ever thought up or prototyped. Stumbling for an answer, he replied: "I came up with things like, you know, health care."
Ah, yes. "Health care." Remember when the president's signature Obamacare health insurance exchanges were going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, the remote control, jogger strollers, Siri, the Keurig coffee maker, driverless cars and Legos all rolled into one?
The miraculous, efficient, cost-saving, innovative 21st-century government-run "marketplaces" were supposed to put the "affordable" in Obama's Affordable Care Act. Know-it-all bureaucrats were going to show private companies how to set up better websites (gigglesnort), implement better marketing and outreach (guffaw), provide superior customer service (belly laugh), and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse (LOLOLOL).
You will be shocked beyond belief, I'm sure, to learn that Obamacare exchanges across the country are instead bleeding money, seeking more taxpayer bailouts and turning everything they touch to chicken poop.
Wait, that's not fair to chicken poop, which can at least be composted.
"Almost half of Obamacare exchanges face financial struggles in the future," The Washington Post reported last week. The news comes despite $5 billion in federal taxpayer subsidies for IT vendors, call centers and all the infrastructure and manpower needed to prop up the showcase government health insurance entities. Initially, the feds ran 34 state exchanges; 16 states and the District of Columbia set up their own.
While private health insurance exchanges have operated smoothly and satisfied customers for decades, the Obamacare models are on life support. Oregon's exchange is six feet under — shuttered last year after government overseers squandered $300 million on their failed website and shady consultants who allegedly set up a phony website to trick the feds. The FBI and the U.S. HHS inspector general's office reportedly have been investigating the racket for more than a year now.
In the People's Republic of Hawaii, which has been a "trailblazer" of socialized medicine for nearly four decades, the profligate state-run exchange demanded a nearly $30 million cash infusion to remain financially viable after securing $205 million for startup costs. The Hawaii Health Connector accidentally disconnected hundreds of poor patients' accounts and squandered an estimated 8,000 hours on technological glitches and failures. Enrollment projections were severely overinflated like a reverse Tom Brady scandal. After failing to secure a bailout, Hawaii announced this week that its exchange would be shut down amid rising debt.
In Maryland, a state audit found that its health insurance exchange "improperly billed the federal government $28.4 million as former Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration struggled to launch what would become one of the most troubled websites in the nation," The Baltimore Sun reported in late March. That's in addition to the $90 million the state blew on technical problems. The state scrapped its junk website and forced enrollees to resubmit to the tortuous sign-up process all over again.
Last week, federal prosecutors subpoenaed the Massachusetts Obamacare exchange after whistleblowers there exposed what a "technological disaster" its "Health Connector" program was. Boston's Pioneer Institute senior fellow in health care, Josh Archambault, released a report on Monday detailing the "complete incompetence" of the state's health bureaucrats from day one. But taxpayers would be lucky if incompetence were the only sin.
After firing the tech boneheads of CGI, the same company behind the federal healthcare.gov meltdown, Massachusetts officials "appear to have lied to the federal government to cover up mistakes" made by both the state and the IT company. "In at least two instances we uncovered," Archambault revealed, what the state told the feds "was either in direct conflict with internal audits or highly improbable given what was being said in the audit and what whistleblowers said was happening at the time."
As health care analyst Phil Kerpen of the free market group American Commitment points out, Massachusetts "already had a functioning state health exchange" but "after receiving $179 million from federal taxpayers" to reconstitute it under Obamacare, "they were able to break that existing exchange beyond repair." An amazing feat.
Lesson for inventive Scouts and students wondering about what people in Washington, D.C., prototype: Government bureaucrats don't make things, kids. They break things.

Froma Harrop - Left is so wrong on trade issue
The left's success in denying President Obama fast-track authority to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership is ugly to behold. The case put forth by a showboating Sen. Elizabeth Warren — that Obama cannot be trusted to make a deal in the interests of American workers — is almost worse than wrong. It is irrelevant.
The Senate Democrats who turned on Obama are playing a 78 rpm record in the age of digital downloads.
Did you hear their ally, AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka, the day after the Senate vote? He denounced TPP for being "patterned after CAFTA and NAFTA." That's not so, but never mind.
There's this skip on the vinyl record that the North American Free Trade Agreement destroyed American manufacturing. To see how wrong that is, simply walk through any Wal-Mart or Target and look for all those "made in Mexico" labels. You won't find many. But you'll see "made in China" everywhere.
Many of the jobs that did go to Mexico would have otherwise left for low-wage Asian countries. Even Mexico lost manufacturing work to China.
And what can you say about the close-to-insane obsession with CAFTA? The partners in the 2005 Central American Free Trade Agreement — five mostly impoverished Central American countries plus the Dominican Republic — had a combined economy equal to that of New Haven, Connecticut.
(By the way, less than 10 percent of the AFL-CIO's membership is now in manufacturing.)
It's undeniable that American manufacturing workers have suffered terrible job losses. We could never compete with pennies-an-hour wages. Those low-skilled jobs are not coming back. But we have other things to sell in the global marketplace.
In Washington state, for example, exports of everything from apples to airplanes have soared 40 percent over four years, to total nearly $91 billion in 2014, according to The Seattle Times. About 2 in 5 jobs there are now tied to trade. Small wonder that Sen. Ron Wyden, a liberal Democrat from neighboring Oregon, has strongly supported fast-track authority.
Some liberals oddly complain that American efforts to strengthen intellectual property laws in trade deals protect the profits of U.S. entertainment and tech companies. What's wrong with that? Should the fruits of America's creativity (that's labor, too) be open to plundering and piracy?
One of TPP's main goals is to help the higher-wage partners compete with China. (The 12 countries taking part include the likes of Japan, Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico and New Zealand.) In any case, Congress would get to vote the finished product up or down, so it isn't as if the public wouldn't get a say.
But then we have Warren stating with a straight face that handing negotiating authority to Obama would "give Republicans the very tool they need to dismantle Dodd-Frank."
Huh? Obama swatted down the remark as wild, hypothetical speculation, noting he engaged in a "massive" fight with Wall Street to get the reforms passed. "And then I sign a provision that would unravel it?" he told political writer Matt Bai.
"This is not a partisan issue," Warren insisted. Yes, in a twisted way, the hard left's fixation over big corporations has joined the right's determination to undermine Obama at every pass.
Trade agreements have a thousand moving parts. The U.S. can't negotiate with the other countries if various domestic interests are pouncing on the details. That's why every president has been given fast-track authority over the past 80 years or so. Except Obama.
It sure is hard to be an intelligent leader in this country.

Pat Buchanan - On a fast track to national ruin
In the first quarter of 2015, in the sixth year of the historic Obama recovery, the U.S. economy grew by two-tenths of 1 percent. And that probably sugarcoats it. For trade deficits subtract from the growth of GDP, and the U.S. trade deficit that just came in was a monster.
As the AP's Martin Crutsinger writes, "The U.S. trade deficit in March swelled to the highest level in more than six years, propelled by a flood of imports that may have sapped the U.S. economy of any growth in the first quarter."
The March deficit was $51.2 billion, largest of any month since 2008. In goods alone, the trade deficit hit $64 billion.
As Crutsinger writes, a surge in imports to $239 billion in March, "reflected greater shipments of foreign-made industrial machinery, autos, mobile phones, clothing and furniture."
What does this flood of imports of things we once made here mean for a city like, say, Baltimore? Writes columnist Allan Brownfeld: "Baltimore was once a city where tens of thousands of blue collar employees earned a good living in industries building cars, airplanes and making steel. ... In 1970, about a third of the labor force in Baltimore was employed in manufacturing. By 2000, only 7 percent of city residents had manufacturing jobs."
Put down blue-collar Baltimore alongside Motor City, Detroit, as another fatality of free-trade fanaticism. For as imports substitute for U.S. production and kill U.S. jobs, trade deficits reduce a nation's GDP. And since Bill Clinton took office, the U.S. trade deficits have totaled $11.2 trillion. An astronomical figure.
It translates not only into millions of manufacturing jobs lost and tens of thousands of factories closed, but also millions of manufacturing jobs that were never created, and tens of thousands of factories that did not open here, but did open in Mexico, China and other Asian countries.
In importing all those trillions in foreign-made goods, we exported the future of America's young. Our political and corporate elites sold out working- and middle-class America — to enrich the monied class. And they sure succeeded.
Yet, remarkably, Republicans who wail over Obama's budget deficits ignore the more ruinous trade deficits that leech away the industrial base upon which America's self-reliance and military might have always depended.
Last month, the U.S. trade deficit with the People's Republic of China reached $31.2 billion, the largest in history between two nations. Over 25 years, China has amassed $4 trillion in trade surpluses at our expense. And where are the Republicans? Talking tough about building new fleets of planes and ships and carriers to defend Asia from the rising threat of China, which those same Republicans did more than anyone else to create.
Now this GOP Congress is preparing to vote for "fast track" and surrender its right to amend any Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that Obama brings home. But consider that TPP. While the propaganda is all about a deal to cover 40 percent of world trade, what are we really talking about?
First, TPP will cover 37 percent of world trade. But 80 percent of that is trade between the U.S. and nations with which we already have trade deals. As for the last 20 percent, our new partners will be New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei and Japan.
Query: Who benefits more if we get access to Vietnam's market, which is 1 percent of ours, while Hanoi gets access to a U.S. market that is 100 times the size of theirs?
The core of the TPP is the deal with Japan. But do decades of Japanese trade surpluses at our expense, achieved through the manipulation of Japan's currency and hidden restrictions on U.S. imports, justify a Congressional surrender to Barack Obama of all rights to amend any Japan deal he produces?
Columnist Robert Samuelson writes that a TPP failure "could produce a historic watershed. ... rejection could mean the end of an era. ... So, when opponents criticize the Trans-Pacific Partnership, they need to answer a simple question: Compared to what?"
Valid points, and a fair question.
And yes, an era is ending, a post-Cold War era where the United States threw open her markets to nations all over the world, as they sheltered their own. The end of an era where America volunteered to defend nations and fight wars having nothing to do with her own vital interests or national security.
The bankruptcy of a U.S. trade and foreign policy, which has led to the transparent decline of the United States and the astonishing rise of China, is apparent now virtually everywhere. And America is not immune to the rising tide of nationalism. Though, like the alcoholic who does not realize his condition until he is lying face down in the gutter, it may be a while before we get out of the empire business and start looking out again, as our fathers did, for the American republic first. But that day is coming.

Captain Jim Morash - Our purser, our historian, our friend!
It is with great sadness that I write about the passing of Dr. Bruce D. Heald, a well known Lakes Region personality, New Hampshire historian, teacher and mentor for many employees of the Winnipesaukee Flagship Corporation. His tenure with the company dates back to 1965.
I've known Bruce for over 30 years. He was my deck officer when I was a young, naive deckhand aboard the M/S Mount Washington back in my college days. Growing up as a fourth generation island resident of Bear Island, I thought I knew a lot about the "Big Lake" back then. After all, I grew up hearing great stories about the early days of boating and island living from my father, uncles and cousins. Bruce, however, educated me far beyond my provincial wisdom and opened my eyes to just how big this lake was. As a history minor in college I was fascinated with all the information being fed to me back then.
Dr. Heald has been the chief purser for the Winnipesaukee Flagship Company for over 50 years. His early associations with fellow employees such as Ed LaVallee, Brian Avery and Bob Murphy, afforded him the most fortunate opportunity to interview these people and bridge a divide between yesteryear and today. By so doing he was able to pass on a very interesting recording of facts, figures, folklore and legend about not only the islands' mail service history but also the history of the Winnipesaukee Flagship Company and the area it serves. His many books about the Lakes Region area capture the Yankee genuineness of longtime summer traditions and impart the significance of what it means to be a summer visitor or resident. His books are a most enjoyable read for anyone who wants to know about many of the islands' history and lake's folklore.
Bruce's personality was inspiring. He welcomed our passengers aboard with a robust "All Aboard" and then personally greeted everyone who boarded. His interaction with the passengers always left them with a memorable impression; so much so that many would come back year after year looking specifically for him.
How do you say goodbye to such an admirable person who touched so many lives with his wit, charm and compassion; taught many in a way that made that person want to learn more and exuded such a positive outlook on life? I'm not sure I can find the exact words. All I can simply say is, "Farewell my friend and thanks for being part of my life."
(Captain Jim Morash is Chief Operating Officer of the Winnipesaukee Flagship Company.)

Bringing Sexy Back
by Mark Bradbury on Feb 14, 10:10 AM
Sex sells, right? It's an adage as old as... well, far older than any of the consumers marketers typically seem to apply it to. When it comes to younger demographics, brands have used sex to sell everything from cars to toilet paper.

And at the same time, it's time for women to take a more active and aggressive role in their retirement planning. With the economy and stock market showing signs of life, there should be a sense of urgency for all involved.

Think Reciprocity
by Jim Gilmartin on Feb 7, 8:57 AM
Contemporary theories of marketing are increasingly defined in the context of collaborative relationships between a marketer and consumers that operate on behalf of meeting needs of the latter. But honoring this idea is often problematic because a continuing focus on sales quotas pressure marketing and sales staff to concentrate more on making deals than on helping people meet their needs and fulfill their aspirations.

Was This Generation Born To Rebel?
by Vincent Vassolo on Feb 3, 6:46 AM
Boomers are proudly individualistic. They defy stereotyping, because they're ... well ...defiant. Always have been. They seem to have been born to rebel, but it might be more accurate to say that they were raised with a strong sense of entitlement.

Holistic physician Dossey examines the potential power of 14 readily accessible sources of well-being, providing a strong case for utilizing such remedies before more extreme measures. His expansive discourse on optimism, forgetting, music, miracles, plants, risk taking and other "simple" things makes clear that, while these are hardly "simple" when fully appreciated, often they are undervalued or completely ignored by the mainstream medical community, which turns to high-tech procedures and worst-case scenarios as a first resort. According to Dossey (Reinventing Medicine), a nearly single-minded clinical focus has obscured patients' interpretation of their own experiences, leaving out important clues about how people heal. He provides numerous examples of those who have discovered "spontaneous healing," which most physicians discount or downplay because they defy explanation. Despite the title, this is not a step-by-step guide to accessing the healing power of home remedies. Instead, Dossey takes readers on a poetic, well-researched journey into the many paradoxes that are inherent in the human condition and how they relate to healing the body, mind and soul. (Feb.)

It may seem odd that a book promising to reveal the keys to happiness as well as health lists unhappiness as one of those keys, but Dossey, former cochair of the National Institutes of Health Panel on Mind/Body Intervention, contends, not without documentation, that unhappiness is as necessary for the preservation of good health as, say, periodic tetanus shots. Add healthy doses of such other common but oft-overlooked good things as optimism, novelty, music, plants, and miracles, and one can expect a longer, happier life, Dossey says. Going further than promoting the obvious, Dossey also believes that including a bit of dirt, some bugs, a few tears, and a certain amount of forgetfulness can also significantly add to life's length and breadth. In a lively style that punctuates scientific data with charming anecdotes and personal history, Dossey offers "medicine" sweetened with just enough sugar to make it palatable and seasoned with some spice for interest.

In response to BOSOX1941's comment:
What have they been waiting for? It's obvious that they should have fired him after, say, 10 injuries and surely 15 injuries should have been enough for the front office to see he wasn't doing a good job. Nope, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 injuries and they refused to fire him. 21, 22, 23 still he's manager. 24, 25, 26, 27 INJURIES !! He's still the manager, what are they waiting for? How many players does he have to injure for them to fire him??
Well see the injuries aren't his fault. But he is responisble for the fact that he is an idiot and that no one respects him.
Oops, my bad, I didn't know about the lack of respect for him. Sorry I must have missed those quotes by everyone. Help me please, exactly which players came out and said "I don't respect Valentine"? Thanks.
Well gee Bosox why don't you give me some quotes from the players that do respect him. Thanks.
Great point you made there.

I cried when I saw a polar bear struggling to find a patch of ice to hunt seal on -- this year the ice is forming three weeks later than it should be because of global warming; you could tell the bear was hungry and confused by the fact his natural habitat was dissolving around him.
