abresler @john35c Totally agree Cetra really impressed me-the only word to describe the developers that come to mind is dipshit scum - forging name, overnight bride loans from buyers, Bruce Eichner - it's like an episode of Dallas - that said this is a beautiful addition to the skyline and I credit them for that - still the ends don't always justify the means especially when there is rampant lying and stealing - will be interesting to see what happens HFZ is no better than Shapiro and the not fabulous but Rockland County Marc Jacobs ; my bet is Blau & Ross get this but we shall see & either way unfortunately expect 2000+PSF asks given HFZ's basis and all the accrued legal that whoever get this needs to roll into to the basis on top 4y

Written on the eve of the French Revolution, the novel is hailed as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the false, artificial sentimentality that prevailed at the time among the upper classes of France. The Nuttall Encyclopedia says of it, ''[it is a novel in which] there rises melodiously, as it were, the wail of a moribund world: everywhere wholesome Nature in unequal conflict with diseased, perfidious art; cannot escape from it in the lowest hut, in the remotest island of the sea''
n stored up some of the ideas which afterwards appeared in the "Fraisier." His sympathy with all living things was extreme.
In "Paul and Virginia," he praises, with evident satisfaction, their meal of milk and eggs, which had not cost any animal its life. It has been remarked, and possibly with truth, that every tenderly disposed heart, deeply imbued with a love of Nature, is at times somewhat Braminical. St. Pierre's certainly was.
When quite young, he advanced with a clenched fist towards a carter who was ill-treating a horse. And when taken for the first time, by his father, to Rouen, having the towers of the cathedral pointed out to him, he exclaimed, "My God! how high they fly." Every one present naturally laughed. Bernardin had only noticed the flight of some swallows who had built their nests there. He thus early revealed those instincts which afterwards became the guidance of his life: the strength of which possibly occasioned his too great indifference to all monuments of art. The love of study
Incipient love, the inability to express it, and eventual tragedy through forced separation -- these are the themes of this lovely novel. The narrative is freely interspersed with sonnets written by Virginia's mother (Mme. de la Tour) which are mostly tributes to sentiment, and overall the book sounds naive -- which doesn't detract, however, from its pathos and its beauty.

So I was in the market for a good perfume with heavy notes in jasmine. Perfumania was having a sale and I decided to drop in and test out a few. The lady picked out Chloe by Chloe, Kim kardashian, and then this. Well I really didn't expect it to be this heavy in jasmine, and at first I thought it was sugary sweet.. like her. But when I took my testing strips with me... I couldn't stop sniffing this one! Something about it is alluring and just fun to put on. The jasmine reminds me of bvlgari jasmin noir and the top note sweetness reminds me of something really sweet. I bought this 20% off for the bigger bottle. For some reason I enjoy putting this on every day... more and more. Also, this fragrance has been notorious for attracting men. I've gotten compliments like, "You smell good, Please come to bed with me tonight"

I've been given a sample of this 5 years ago on my birthday and liked it back in the day. My opinion has changed a great deal since then! I'm a perfume lover but this one has become overrated in my opinion. It sickens me! Most girls I know who wear this scent are bimbos, I guess this has negatively influenced my opinion as well. Never purchased this product and probably never will.

It smells like a bowl of freshly sliced kiwi with luscious creamy white chocolate melted on top. Really delicious stuff, and it makes for a great casual scent that works in most seasons (wouldn't wear it on hot days though). Amazing longevity and projection. I love fragrances and have plenty, everything from the high-end to low-end, and this is the perfume that gets me the most compliments (especially from men). It's inexpensive and the scent lingers around you all day. I adore the body lotion as well. It may not be my favorite scent in my collection, but I like it alot, a whole lot! It's just too bad that so many women/girls wear it! If it wasn't for its immense popularity, I would be wearing it more often and probably even make it a signature scent. In my opinion, this is the best scent in Britney's line of fragrances, I actually disliked Midnight Fantasy (too syrupy and artificial) and felt indifferent towards the other two Fantasies. The original Fantasy is just perfect. I'd like to add that I also find the bottles in the Fantasy range super adorable :)

This perfume is disgusting. More than that, this fragrance and it's cult following give perfumes a bad name. This fragrance is a vile mess of vanilla and flowers. It's packaging is the most tacky I have ever seen. It is coveted by teeny boppers and by old ladies trying to 'make themselves feel younger'-yet surprisingly generally well tolerated among those not belonging to the above categories. It is the type of fragrance that should make the perfume makers of today reevaluate the direction the perfume industry has taken, and hopefully not drive it into olfactory suicide.

Love this perfume! its so playful and girly. its super sweet with fruity notes to it and a vanilla dry down. its very bakery and cupcakey to me, which i love. the bottle is also super cute. i would say that mature people might prefer this fragrance less as it is very young smelling. but nothing wrong if you do like it! one of the best britney fragrances she made.

It's delicious. This was a blind buy from a British website, as that was the cheapest I could find it. I did a lot of research and after reading reviews here, on fragrantica and various blogs I decided I simply needed for this spring :D It came in a small size bottle (30ml) with a shower gel and body lotion - 50 ml each.
On first spray I smell a berry-like fruit and a ton of alcohol. The alcohol dies immediately and a sugary cotton-candy-like concoction comes in. Ten minutes in, I smell berry fruit and sugary stuff. Half an hour later, some type of sweet/intense smelling flower(s) appear(s). I can't pinpoint it/them exactly, I don't even know if it's one flower or more, but it's definitely a flower of the likes of gardenia, lily, jasmine, orchid - the kind that smell sweet but very strong. A few hours later, something powdery can also be felt. The sugary concoction, sweet flowers and powdery note last until the very end.
The perfume is very sweet and strong upon application, so be careful. Spray less than usual or you'll be likely to get a headache. The drydown is delicious, the powdery note gives it that comfy 'come and hug me' appeal. Three sprays should last you the entire day. I spray my hair and I can still feel it the next day, it's crazy with such a cheap fragrance!
It's not sophisticated and it's not refined and it's STRONG, and yet I like it. I'm not even in the age demographic, but I don't care. I'll use till I get sick of it :D

I love Britney Spears's Fantasy Perfume! I'd consider this my signature scent, I wear this the most out of my perfume collection. It's sweet - reminiscent of candy and floral accents yet very fruity. It's not too strong in my case, but perfumes react to everyone's body differently. As long as you know how to apply perfume properly you shouldn't have an issue; too many times people drown themselves in perfume and then try to blame the perfume for the headache-inducing smell. I apply a spay to the neck and a spray to the wrist - and the scent lasts all day irresistibly! I receive compliments all the time, a lot of people love it - men and women alike! It's truly delicious. Enjoy. (:

I'm a little ashamed to say I really enjoy this perfume! There, I'm out of the closet! lol Yes, it's Britney Spears, the packaging is cheesy, and it's super sweet, but I really like it! It is so bad that I'm 26 and I like it? Everyone says this is for teens, and I agree, but I just love smelling sweet. I love Pink Sugar. So sue me. I came home with it on my wrists after trying it out at the store. My husband was like, "You smell amazing. What is that?" He just kept saying how good I smelled. Anything that makes me AND my husband happy is a good thing :)

The blogging community – collectively called #FreeMyInternet, will be organising a protest and online blackout next week against the new licensing requirements imposed by the Media Development Authority, which requires "online news sites" to put up a "performance bond" of $50,000 and "comply within 24 hours to MDA's directions to remove content that is found to be in breach of content standards".
We encourage all Singaporeans who are concerned about our future and our ability to participate in everyday online activities and discussions, and to seek out alternative news and analysis, to take a strong stand against the licensing regime which can impede on your independence.
We urge Singaporeans to turn up to send a clear message to our elected representatives to trust the Singaporeans who elected them.
Singaporeans can support us in three ways:
1) Join us at the protest.
Date: 8 June 2013
Time: 4.00pm – 7.00pm
Venue: Speakers Corner, Hong Lim Park
2) If you are a blogger, join us in an online blackout by closing your blog for 24 hours, from Thursday 6 June, 0001 hrs to 6 June, 2359 hrs. You can choose to create your own blackout notice, or use www.freemyinternet.com we have created for your convenience. When you reopen your blog, write your account of the protest, about the new regulations and censorship, or anything related to media freedom in Singapore. Share your thoughts. Share your hope that the light that free speech provides will not go out on us.
3) Sign our petition and read our FAQ at this link to call for the Ministry of Communications and Information to completely withdraw the licensing regime.
We invite media to cover the protest at Hong Lim Park. To indicate media attendance and other media queries, please contact Howard Lee at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vt. interstates backed up in snowstormFebruary 05,2014The Associated Press
WILLISTON -- Vermont State Police are warning drivers about backups and delays on snow-covered roads.
Police say the interstates are particularly backed up. They are asking drivers to avoid using the U-turns, which they say is illegal and dangerous.
Larry Dodge with the Vermont Agency of Transportation says about twenty crashes have occurred statewide so far on major roads. Dodge says most accidents were highway median crashes
Dodge is advising drivers to plan on delays and drive slow as roads continue to be snow-covered, including I-89.
Chittenden County Transportation Authority's Meredith Birkett says buses are experiencing approximately 20-minute delays on all routes. Birkett says the delays are "mild" but the "worst it's been" system-wide this season.

[ ABSTRACT An improved decoder for IFF interrogations is provided to increase the average probability of detection. The first pulse of the pulse pair interrogation is stretched via logic circuitry to increase the probability of coincidence with the second pulse of the interrogation. This allows for a certain amount of variation or jitter in the timing of the incoming pulse pair.

In systems that are provided with a responder, either located at a ground station, as in the instance of the TACAN system, or on an aircraft, as in the well known instance of secondary-radar and [FF systems, the method used for returning the signals comprises receiving, detecting and recognizing an interrogation signal in form of a pair of pulses spaced according to a conventional mode, and sending back a response signal having a conventional form.
It is known to use a delay line for detecting and recognizing pairs of interrogation pulses, said line having a plurality of output taps with means adapted to identify a coincidence between the first pulse of a pair, as it comes out of one of such delay line taps, and the second received pulse of the pair, which occurs at the input inlet of the delay line at the same time as the delayed first pulse.
It is known that shift registers having a plurality of outputs are more and more used in responders instead of the afore-mentioned delay line. Such a register is adapted to forward a pulse applied to its input at the rate of pulses from a clock that is connected to it.
Owing to this, there occurs a quantized process with a quantum of time equal to the period of the timing clock, also called a step" and designed 0 in the following description. Known interrogation-decoding means are devised (in the assumption that the step is an integral submultiple of a standard interval of time, T,,, comprised between the leading edges of the two pulses that form an interrogation pair, and that the clock being synchronized by ,the first interrogation pulse. In fact, even assuming that such a synchronism can be 'attained, there is indeed some shift AT between the nominal value T, and an actual interval of time T between the two pulses. The first pulse is so delayed in the register that it appears at the output from the n-th section of the register after a time T n0, and last for a time 0. The second pulse occurs at this instant at the register inlet. When AT is negative, coincidence can take place only due to the width of this second pulse. When AT is positive, coincidence can take place so long as AT is smaller than 0.
It will thus be seen that all interrogation pairs will be recognized provided the maximum value AT of shift AT is smaller than 0 and the width of the second pulse is at least as large as AT. In other words, the rate of response p, which measures the ratio of the recognized interrogations (those that have caused a response transmission) to the overall number of interrogations received (and which are not always recognized) is equal to 1 in accordance with that assumption.
However, in most applications, is is required that the precise instant when the leading edge of the second pulse comes in, be recognized therefore, all of the original width of the interrogation pulses cannot be used, but only a very short derived pulse, the width of which is substantially limited to the rise period of the leading edge is of use. Under such conditions, and still assuming that the timing clock is synchronized with the leading edge of the first interrogation pulse, known devices do not allow the interrogations to be recognized when the actual spacing of the two pulses is smaller than the nominal interval T All other interrogations can be recognized by such devices, i.e., with a rate of response p 1 when the maximum shift AT, is smaller than 0. 0n the whole, when shifts of both signs are considered, and when all values of T within the limits T =AT and T AT occur with equal probability, the rate of response is 0.5 when AT is smaller than 0. It will be noted that the curve showing the rate of response p as a function of shift AT (algebraically valued) has an unsymmetrical shape.
There have been proposed, various techniques for managing the known devices, which, by way of principle, attempt to make this curve of response rate symmetrical, and obtain values of p close to 1 within wide limits of AT, by taking the delayed first pulse not only from a register or delay line section of rank n but also from some adjacent sections. In practice, however, all such solutions are relatively inefficient, because under ordinary conditions of use, it is almost impossible to secure, by known methods, adequate synchronization of the pulses from the timing clock with the first interrogation pulse. This is true because synchronization does not always occur at the first pulse of an interrogation pair to be detected and recognized, but often in response to a spurious pulse, when operating in a disturbed area, or sometimes at the first pulse of a pair that will not be recognized. Accordingly, the response ratio will no longer be equal to 1.
It is possible to determine analytically what will occur when synchronization is effected as defined above, and when the best use of shift register abilities is attempted in attempting to maximize the response ratio at a value close to 1, allowing for symmetrical curves of p as a function of shift AT. As in the preceding, it will be assumed that coincidence will be recognized between the first pulse of an interrogation (as it comes out of an output of a register section of rank n), and the second pulse, the leading edge of which occurs at the same instant at the register input. Since there is no synchronization, the time lag of a pulse with respect to the timing clock after the leading edge of the first interrogation pulse as this pulse enters the register can take any value with equal probability. Therefore, the outlet from a section of rank n will provide the said leading edge after a time T (n l) 0 r0, where r is a random parameter between 0 and 1, and this pulse presence will last a time 0.
The leading edge of the second pulse will reach the coincidence device after a time T T AT, where T, is equal to n0 and is the nominal time interval between the two pulses of a pair, and AT is an algebraic measure of the shift from said nominal interval. There will be coincidence, and thus recognition of interrogation, each time AT is comprised between the limits (r l) 0 and r0.
The curve in FIG. 1 shows the variations of said limits as a function of r. It will be stated that coincidence will always occur when AT 0, which means that the rate of response p is always 1 when AT 0. If
lAT| 0, coincidence is no longer possible. Then for intermediate values of |AT| the rate of response is proportional to r. Now, as r is a random variable, ordinate r also shows the probability of a response rate p. It will be seen that an interrogation pair will be recognized in 50 percent of the instances when lATl /2. Therefore, it may be said that, in statistical terms, the average response rate will reach a maximum value of 0.5 with such a device. The curve of FIG. 1, which is symmetrical, may be designed as a curve of response rate p, as a function of shift AT (say p =f( AT)) for the one output from the register section of rank n. The shifts are centered about T In the known art, it was attempted to widen this curve in a way so as to increase the range of shifts with which the rate of response would be equal to 1. To this end, one or more outputs from sections of ranks n 1, n I, n 2, n 2, etc. were combined with the output from section of rank n.
A curve p =f(AT) related to each output will be obtained from the curve in FIG. 1 by a translation to the right or to the left, by a multiple of 0. When curves p f(AT) for outputs from sections of rank n (FIG. 1) and n 1 (FIG. 2) are combined, the overall curve of FIG. 3 results, which shows that a rate of response equal to 1 will be obtained with shifts between 6 and 0. This curve is no longer symmetrical, and it could become symmetrical only if a method were devised, which would allow it to be shifted to the right by 0/2, which corresponds to halfa step of the register.
If the output from a register section of rank n 1, shown in FIG. 4, were added to the combination of outputs from sections of ranks n and n 1, a symmetrical curve p f(AT) (FIG. 5) would be obtained, which shows that the combination in question would yield a rate of response equal to 1 with shifts AT comprised between 0 and 0, this rate dropping to zero with shifts larger than 2 0 in absolute value.
The outputs of a larger number of adjacent sections can also be combined. As a general rule, when an odd number 2p 1 of successive register sections are combined, curves p =f(AT) are symmetrical, the shift AT from T that corresponds to a rate of response 1 can reach (p QYG, and rate of response becomes nil with shifts AT over (p-l- /6) 6.
Devices that allow the above-mentioned combinations to be carried out are critical in operation because the use of parts such as an INCLUSIVE-OR gate having as many inputs as there are associated register sections is implied. Each such output must be connected to a coincidence detector, and the arrangement is duplicated for each interrogation mode which can be recognized by the decoder. Moreover, these devices, which allow the curves p f(AT) to be extended, require more sections as the desired extension is widened. Finally, there is no known method which would be simple and provide symmetrical curves p f(AT) with an even number of sections having their outputs combined.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a general object of the present invention to provide improved and simplified devices which, when associated with the commonly used shift register, allow the same results to be attained, as regards the improvement of the response rate, as achieved by combining outputs from several successive sections according to the hereinbefore described known methods. Devices according to the invention provide many advantages over the prior art for a given curve of response rate as a function of shift p =f(AT). Some of these advantages are the number of sections required is smaller, even when the response-rate curves are widely extended. 2. The recognition of an interrogation is carried out on the output from a single register stage, which avoids the intrication of circuits needed to join several outputs together according to the prior known methods. 3. The response-rate curves can be easily adjusted to a symmetrical shape.
That portion of the equipment of the combination used for detecting and recognizing pairs of interrogation pulses, which is known per se, and to which devices according to the invention are added, comprises a multiple-output shift register adapted to advance by even steps, a pulse applied to its input; a set of coincidence detectors, each connected to said input and to one register output, and adapted to detect a pair of pulses that are spaced by an interval corresponding to a conventional interrogation mode; and a logical device which prevents any further pulse from entering the register input as soon as an interrogation has been detected and for the whole time during which the circuits for composing and transmitting the response message operate. Further, according to the known apparatus there is a logical device which opens a gate at the input of the shift register at the end of the composition of said response message, so that the register becomes again available for pulse decoding.
According to a broad aspect of the invention, it is provided that any incoming pulse is entered q successive times into the register input, and that the recognition of a possible interrogation is carried out at a single register section of a suitable rank s, where s n -(q/2) when q is even, and s =n (q l)/2 when q is odd, (n is the number by which a shift step must be multiplied to give the interval of time between the two pulses of a pair). The curves of the response rate as a function of a pulse shift, p =f(AT), are then the same as were obtained if the incoming pulse would be entered once into the register input and the outputs from q l the sections next to section of rank n were combined with the output from this section.
According to another feature of the invention, the incoming pulse first swings a flip-flop into a condition 1 instead of directly entering the register; the signal from said condition l at the register input progresses through the register at the rate of the timing clock, and when the section of rank q is reached, the output from that section, together with those of the preceding sections, which are connected to the said flip-flop through an AND gate, operate to reset said flip-flop. Condition 1" recorded in the q sections progresses as a whole, so that when it reaches the n-th section, it marks the outlet of the latter during a period of q 1 steps of the timing clock.
According to a further feature of the invention, which is applicable when the number q of the sections into which the incoming pulses are entered is an even number, in such way that, the curves of response-rate as a function of shift p =f(AT) are unsymmetrical, the
symmetry of said curves can be restored by retarding the arrival of the signal before a section of rank n by half a step.
According to the invention, the half-step lag is obtained by applying the pulses of the timing clock in a first phase to a number of the head register sections and in the opposite phase to the following sections. The recognition of the interrogations is then carried out on the section ofa rank n q/2.
According to a modification of that further feature of the invention, a half-step lag to the timing clock signal is obtained by using steps having a value slightly above T,,/n. This increase must be such that when multiplied n times, it causes an increase equal to T /2n at the level of the section where a recognition of the interrogations is carried out. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the description which will follow with reference to the appended drawings, in which:

FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram of a portion of an interrogation-pair decoder including devices adapted to provide an additional lag (by half a step) in the shift register.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The equipment shown in FIG. 6 comprises an input 1 to which the detected pulses are applied, these pulses having been detected in a receiver, which is not shown, and so shaped that their widths are just equal to the rise time of the leading edge.
The serviceable signal applicable at 1 will have the form of a pair of code pulses spaced out by the time interval (or intervals) that characterize the mode (or modes) used in the particular application considered. To establish concepts and values, these intervals are of the order of a few microseconds. While this signal is awaited, or between the two pulses of a pair, spurious pulses can also be received. Input 1 is connected to one of the two inputs of an AND-type gate 2. In the condition of detection of the incoming pulses, the second input of gate 2 is marked (has signal present), so that the pulses received at input 1 come out on an output wire 3, which is connected to a write-in input e, of a flip-flop 4. Outlet s of flip-flop 4 is connected by wire 5 to the pulse input E of a shift register 6 comprising m 1 sections A,, A,, A A A each having an output 8,, S,, 8,, S
Each of outputs S 8,, S, of register 6 is connected by a wire 7a, 7b, 7c respectively, to one input of an AND gate 8 the output of which is connected by a wire 9 to a reset input e, of flip-flop 4.
Except for outputs S 8,, 8,, only outputs S,, and S,.,, of register 6 are used. These outputs correspond to the modes of the interrogation pairs, which are assumed, by way of example, to be two. These two modes will be designed hereunder as mode n and mode m.
Outputs S and S,,, of register 6 are connected each through a wire, 10 or l0,,, to one of the inputs of an AND gate, respectively ll,, and 1 1,,, for interrogation detection. The second input of each of gates ll,, and 11,,, is connected through branches l2, and l2,,, of a wire 12 to the output of gate 2.
The outputs from gates l1,, and l1,,, are connected through wires 13a and 13,.., to an OR gate 14 the output of which is connected through a wire 15 to a reset input e, of a flip-flop 16 the output s of which (through a wire 17) is connected to the second input of gate 2.
The outputs from gates ll,, and 1l,,, are also connected through branches of wires 13,, and l3,,, to the respective inputs g and g, of a block 18 which constitutes a conventional device of a type known per se and not a part per se, of the combination of the invention. This device 18 comprises a generator of predetermined trains of pulses and a set of modulators which successively modulate said pulses according to a conventional coded response. This coded response will come out through an outlet W, of said block 18.
The operation of the parts in block 18 is started by pulses entering through inputs g or g,,,. Likewise, an end-of-encoding pulse is provided at output W, from block 18 as soon as the setting up of the coded response is ended. Output W, is connected through a wire 19 to the write-in input e, of flip-flop 16.
A clock 20 is connected through a wire 21 to the input of a frequency divider 22. At the output from divider 22 pulses are provided the spacing of which, designed by 0, defines the timing rate, (1 microsecond), and which are applied, through a wire 23, to the timing inputs H,, H,, H H I-I,, I-I,,, of sections A A,, A A A,, A,,, of register 6. A branch 15a of wire 15 is connected to a reset input Z of frequency divider 22.
The operation of the interrogation decoder shown in FIG. 6 will now be described.
It will be assumed that at a given instant, outputs s, of flip-flops 4 and 16 are (marked) respectively in 0 and 1 conditions. Gate 2 is thus enabled, and any pulse of a sufficient amplitude that occurs at 1 passes through gate 2 and is led by wire 3 to swing flip-flop 4, the output s,, of which'becomes marked 1 Through wire 5, condition 1" marks the pulse input E of register 6 at an instant which will be taken as the origin of time in the following description. After a delay smaller than 0 (for example r0, r being comprised between 0 and 1), a timing pulse that arrives through wire 23 at section A1 causes the said marking to appear at output 8,. The next timing pulse, which arrives at instant r0 0, lets output S stay marked 1" and causes the same marking to appear at output 8,. Owing to the next timing pulse, which arrives at instant r0+ 20, output S, in turn is marked 1", the same marking remaining at outlets S, and 8,. Wires 7a, 7b and 7c and gate 8 transmit this value 1 when it appears at all of the three outlets 8,, S, and S, and this value through wire Q swings flip-flop 4, the output S of which assumes condition 0". Input E of register 6 is then no longer marked.
When the next timing pulse comes in at a time r0 30, output S is reset to value "0" while the three following outputs S,, S, and S, are marked 1". These three joint markings progress then to the right as a whole and by steps at the rate of the timing pulses. When the pulse initially occuring at the output of gate 2 is not the first one of an interrogation pair of a conventional mode n or m but rather is a spurious pulse, it disappears at the end F of register 6.
On the contrary, when a second pulse occurs at the output of gate 2 after a time of about T, n0, (which corresponds to the interrogation mode n that the decoder is adapted to recognize), it reaches, through wire 12 and branch 12,, thereof, the one of the inputs of gate 11 Through wire 10,, the marking that comes out from output S,, of section A,, of register 6 according to a process considered below is applied to the other input of said gate 11,, This gate opens, and a signal donating recognition of the interrogation mode n occurs at the output of gate 11 Input g, of block 18 is energized through wire 13,, and the response message starts being set up. At the same time and through wire 13',, gate 14 and wire 15, the reset input e of flip-flop 16 is marked. Output S from this flip-flop swings to condition 0", which is also applied to the second input of gate 2. This gate closes and prevents any further pulse from entering the decoder. Reset input Z of frequency divider 22 is energized through wire a. When the setting up of the response message in block 18 is ended, a pulse comes out of output W from said block and through wire 19, it swings flip-flop 16. Output S from this flip-flop turns to condition l and the second input of gate 2 is marked through wire 17, which enables this gate so that any further pulse occurring at input 1 can then enter the decoder.
The principles of operations would of course be described the same if the interrogation received corresponded to mode m characterized by a nominal spacing (by T,, m6) of the two pulses. In that case, section A,,, and output S,,, of register 6 as well as gate 1l,,, should be considered.
Let us now turn back to the detailed description of the process of an interrogation recognition, Le. a coincidence of the first interrogation pulse, as delayed in register 6, appearing at output S or input of gate 11 with the second pulse coming out of gate 2 and occurring at the second input of said gate 11,,
To this end, the explanatory diagrams in FIG. 7, will be referred to in connection with FIG. 6.
Diagram (a) FIG. 7 shows a scale of times based on the pulses from the timing clock, the period or step of which is 0.
The pulses that mark the pulse input E of register 6 (see FIG. 6) at an instant 0 are processed by the trailing edge of a pulse from the timing clock after a delay r0, where r is a random parameter comprised between 0 and l.
Diagram (b) of FIG. 7 shows the marking at output S of section A of register 6 (see FIG. 6) in accordance with the operation described hereabove.
Likewise, diagram (c) shows the marking at output S, from section A, of register 6.
Lastly, diagram (d) shows the marking at outlet S,, from section A,, of register 6 (FIG. 6), from which output the recognition of the interrogations will be carried out. This output S,, (and therefore also the first input of gate ll,, of FIG. 6) begins to be marked at an instant (rt-2) 0 r6, and this marking lasts until (n l) 0 r0.
Diagram (e) of FIG. 7 shows the second pulse of a pair, which comes in by a time n0 at the second input of gate l1, (FIG. 6). The nominal spacing between the leading edges of the two pulses of a mode n interrogation is equal to T n0, but there is some shift AT from this value of T The exact instant when the second pulse comes in is thus n0 AT, and a coincidence will be stated when AT is comprised within the limits -2() r9 and 0 r6.
Curve (f) at the right of FIG. 7 shows the variations of these limits as a function of r. When AT is comprised between -0 and +0, a coincidence will always occur, so that the rate of response p is equal to l with shifts lAT l comprised between 0 and 0. When IATlexceeds 20, a coincidence is no longer possible. Then, with intermediate values, r assumes the meaning of a probability and is the same as the mean rate of response. So it will be seen that with IATI 30/2, p is equal to A.
Thus, curve (1) of FIG. 7 is a curve which shows the rate of response in the decoder for interrogations of mode n, as a function of the shift AT from a nominal value T,, (where T,, n0) of the time interval between the two pulses that characterize these interrogations, in the case where the pulses are entered three times into register 6 according to the method described with reference to FIG. 6. It will be also noted that this curve p f (AT) is symmetrical relatively to the nominal value T In case the pulses are entered five, or seven, or (2p 1) times into input E of register 6 (FIG. 6), operation is handled in the same way. Symmetrical curves of shifts would be obtained, which would show rates of response equal to l with shifts smaller than p0 and null with shift beyond (p l)0.
As regards the advantages of the invention, it should be remarked that an interrogation will be recognized from a single output S of register 6. The known methods that would combine signals from several adjacent outputs would require n p sections for obtaining a similar curve p =f(AT). A simple analysis would show that the rank of said single outlet will be n p in case the pulses are entered 2p 1 times into inlet E of register 6.
Turning back to the decoder shown in FIG. 6, it will be seen that the number of sections in register 6 can be limited to m p for recognizing an interrogation mode characterized by a nominal spacing n0 between the two pulses.
For a better understanding of the invention it is appropriate, to examine the operation when an incoming pulse is entered twice instead of three times into input E of register 6 in the interrogation decoder shown in FIG. 6. In that case, outlets S and 2 instead of outlets 8,, S, and S, will be joined through AND gate 8 to reset input e, of flip-flop 4.
Diagram (g) in FIG. 7 shows the course of the marking at output S of section A in register 6 when an incoming pulse is entered twice. Then, diagram (h) shows the course of the marking at output S,, of section A,, where the recognition of the interrogations is carried out. Output S becomes marked at a time (n 2) 0 r0, and this marking lasts until a time n0 r0.
Returning to the notation already used and referring again to diagram (e) of FIG. 7, discussed already above, it will be stated that there will be a coincidence between the first pulse, as delayed in the register, and the second one of an interrogation pair of mode n, provided AT is comprised within the limits 20 r and r0.
Curve (1') in the right-hand portion of FIG. 7 shows the variations of these limits as a function of r. When AT is comprised between 0 and 0, a coincidence will always occur, so that the rate of response p when, the shift is comprised between 0 and 0 is, equal to 1. When the negative value of AT is greater than 20, or, else when AT is positive and larger than 0, there is no coincidence possible. Then, for intermediate values, r has the meaning of a probability and thus amounts to the probable rate of response p. It will be seen that when AT is 30/2, or 0/2, p is equal to h.
It will be noted that curve (i) is not centered about the value T,.=n0 of the nominal interval between the two pluses of a mode n interrogation. This curve p= f(AT) is unsymmetrical.
So as to have it centered, an additional delay of one half step, 0/2, is artificially obtained in the shift register.
In case the incoming pulses are entered four, six or 2p times, they would be processed in the same way. Symmetrical curves p =f(AT) are obtained by providing an additional delay of 0/2, and these curves show rates of response equal to l with shifts lATl smaller than (p 5%) 0 and nil with shifts IATI beyond (p r6) 0.
From the standpoint of the advantages of the present invention, it should be further noted at this point that, in case the pulses are entered 2p times into input E of register 6 (FIG. 6), the interrogation is recognized at outlet S,, of a rank n-p.
FIG. 8 shows a decoder according to the invention, much like that in FIG. 6, but which comprises some modifications, which allow an additional delay of one half step, 0/2, to be obtained at the level of those outputs from the shift register at which the recognition of the interrogations is carried out when the incoming pulses are entered twice into the 'input of register 6. The diagram FIG. 8 comprises only such parts as necessary for the understanding of the invention. The omitted parts may be found in FIG. 6.
The frequency divider 22 which supplies register 6 with timing pulses having a step 0 is formed, in accordance with a known pattern, of a cascade of flipflops. Only the last flip-flop 24 is shown. A first train of timing pulses comes out of an output S of flip-flop 24, and a second train of pulses comes out of an output 8,, which is complementary to output 8,. The pulses of this second train have a phase opposed to that of the said first train, which means that the trailing edges of the pulses of said second train lag by half a step 0/2 relative to those of the first train.
The pulses of the first train are led by a wire 23 to the timing inputs H,, H, H of the n-4 sections of register 6. The pulses of the second train are led by a wire 23" to the timing inputs H H,, H, and so on up to the end F of register 6.
A marking, which is applied to input E of register 6 according to a process described hereinbefore, progresses through register 6 at the rate 0 of the first train of timing pulses up to section A of a rank n 4.
That marking reaches the next section A after a time 30/2 instead of a time 0, since the timing pulses that operate from the section of rank n-3 are those of the second train, which are retarded by 0/2 relative to those of the first train operating in the first 11 4 register sections.
The operation of the decoder shown in FIG. 8 will not be described, as it is not different, except for the modification stated above, from that of FIG. 6.
In FIG. 7, diagram (j) shows the timing pulses of the second train, which are retarded by half a step, 0/2, relative to those of diagram (0). Diagram (g) already mentioned, shows the course of the marking in the time, at output S from section A of register 6 (FIG. 8). Similarly, diagram (k) shows the course of the marking at output S,, from section A,, of register 6. Output S,, begins to be marked at a time (n 3/2) 0 r0, and this marking lasts until a time (n 1%) 0 r0.
Resuming the reasoning already used several times hereinabove, it can be stated that a symmetrical curve (1), shown in the right-hand portion of FIG. 7, will be obtained for a curve p f( AT).
According to a modification of this invention, the additional delay of half a step may be obtained by adding a small quantity A 0 to 0 T,,/n, so that the additional delay increases to 0/2 when the marking from the incoming pulse reaches section A of rank n-l in register 6 (FIG. 6). This implies that AT 0/2n-l which then means that the new value of the slightly increased step is (0 +A0) T m-h.
Turning back to the decoder shown in FIG. 6, which is designed for two interrogation modes, it will be easily understood that it is not possible to attain the additional delay of 0/2 for both modes by the method just described, when the pulses are entered into register 6 an even number of times.
However, in some instances when T,, is an odd multiple of T i.e. T,, (2k 1)T,,, an additional delay of (k 1%) 0 will be obtained at output S,,, from section A of rank m I when the step 0 is adjusted so that an additional delay of 0/2 is obtained at the level of output S,, from section A,, This will then suffice to recognize an interrogation of mode In at the output from a section of register 6, having a rank m (l k) for attaining the desired additional delay of 0/2 also in such instance.
1. A system for recognition of an incoming pulse code group including at least a pair of pulses nominally spaced by T but subject to extraneous variations thereabout, said system including means for generating periodic clock pulses, an input for receiving said incoming pulse group, a shift register responsive at a signal input to said incoming pulse code group and at a control input to said clock pulses for advancing the pulses received at said signal input one register section for each clock pulse, comprising:
a set of coincidence detectors each having an input connected to receive said incoming pulse code group;
means for applying the first pulse of each incoming pair q successive times to the input of said register;
and means for recognizing said pair at an output S comprising a predetermined tap along said register, wherein S is equal to n (a/2) when q is an a set of coincidence detectors, each of said detectors being connected to said input;
means for applying the first incoming pulse of each pair q successive times to the input of said register;
and means for recognizing said pair at an output tap S along said register, S being equal to n (q/2) when q is an even number and S being equal to n (q-l )/2 when q is an odd number, n being equal to T,,/0+ k.

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Savvis (Santa Clara, CA) in March 2012.
Had an initial technical phone screen with one of the developers. Then was invited to a face to face interview with the hiring manager and then met with a couple other developers and finally one other manager. The interview consisted of more technical questions and general questions. The developers are very technical and we discussed the entire technical spectrum from memory (heap/stack), caching technologies, Java, SOAP vs. REST. The manager questions were more generic such as what is your short-term, mid-term, long-term career strategy, how do you manage deadlines, how do you handle being a part of an understaffed project.
Interview Questions
- You've been tasked to architect / design an ecommerce website. What technology stack would you choose and why? Answer Question
- What's the difference between SOAP and REST Web Service? Answer Question
Yes. I was asked what I was looking for in terms of compensation and was told afterwards that it was higher than what they had anticipated, but they were able to match it.
Helpful (2)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5+ weeks. I interviewed at Savvis (Chicago, IL) in November 2011.
The process is effective and you don't end up feeling lost in a shuffle. The timelines between applying and hiring can be long due to the internal process of approving the job req after posting etc. This can mean some good potential candidates are lost to other positions while waiting for the Savvis positions.
Interview Questions
- All the questions seemed very relevant to the position and to the experience of the candidate. Military experience in a mission critical environment (such as submarine engine room operations) are highly valued. Answer Question
You will have to convince the hiring manager of your value because they will be the one fighting internally to get you a salary. If you deserve other than the bottom of their band, you need the person you interview with at the site to fight for you so do your best to convince them of your benefit as well as the possibility that inadequate pay may result in them losing you.
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Savvis (Saint Louis, MO) in November 2011.
Had a 30 minute interview with hiring manager. Went well and set up a face to face with hiring manager and his boss. Never received any feedback. Sent several follow ups with no response.
Interview Questions
- Normal questions were asked Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Savvis (Saint Louis, MO) in August 2011.
HR was very helpful. My inside referral helped me get an interview with a Global VP and two Senior Directors without a phone screening interview. The company seems to want to promote technical engineers into management when that isn't the best thing to do. They have several young and inexperienced personnel in management.
Interview Questions
- What do you consider "world class"? 1 Answer
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Savvis (Saint Louis, MO) in June 2011.
The interviewing process was the only professional process I experienced while at Savvis. The hiring process was a mess -- they utilized a 3rd party to conduct the reference reviews, academic & criminal background check a long drawn out process and the HR representative didn't have any confidence on how long it would take to complete and from my experience and everyone I spoke to everyone's hire date had to be pushed out to later dates. Once in the company there is no training, yet you will be held accountable and graded unfairly this is their way of trying to manage you by fear. It appears that their management staff are someone's friend and so they don't need to be qualified for the position. The workplace culture is one of disrespect to employees and workloads that are not doable. The employees performance is measured against unattainable targets, so you can see how easily the culture can be demotivating. Unfortunately, the environment does not allow anyone to be successful.
Interview Questions
- Describe how you deal with difficult people within your own team? 1 Answer
The negotiation phase was like a tennis match -- we went back & forth several times. In the final outcome I was able to get what I asked for, but in hindset I lost. I had another job offer that I now found out was with a "healthy" workplace/culture. Taking the Savvis offer was one of the biggest mistakes in judgment I have ever taken. Bottom line, I won the negotiation, but lost big time in the end.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Savvis in June 2011.
This a simple two step interview. First interview was with HR representative to review job history and qualifications. Basic questions about job performance and why you left previous jobs, lasted 20 minutes. Second interview was with actual practice director and technical and procedural items were discussed, 15 minutes total.
Interview Questions
- Why are sewer pipes round? 1 Answer
No real negotiations phase. Thay made a good offer and I accepted.
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Savvis (Weehawken, NJ) in April 2011.
The interview process was incredibly laborious. After meeting with the Director level and 3 others on the first meeting, additional interviews were conducted and over 4 months went by prior to making an offer.
Interview Questions
- I don't recall the exact questions asked, they were targeted to technical knowledge and Client experience 1 Answer
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Savvis (Saint Louis, MO) in March 2011.
Interviewed with the VP. She was extremely cordial and had nice interpersonal skills. I interviewed for an internship just to get my foot in the door. The position, I'm guessing, was for those still in school. I graduated a semester before the interview so I guess that is why I have heard nothing with respect to the interview. The interview was brief, 40 mins, in which the usual questions were asked and then a powerpoint presentation followed. It is rather disappointing that when someone has a title that includes the word communication they do not respond to follow-up emails. I wrote two; one the day of thanking her for the interview and the other a month later. Still not one response and as a communications major I have to say that responding to emails is pretty basic. Without being able to communicate via email it makes me wonder what they mean by communication.
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Savvis (Chesterfield, MO) in July 2010.
The initial contact by 'talent locator' was nice. I really didnt even get to ask any questions to this person, but was scheduled for a technical phone interview first. The technical phone interview seemed kind of cold to me. The gentleman jumped right into the questions, and I never really had an opportunity to learn more. The next thing I know is that I received an email that thanked me for applying, but I was not chosen. It makes me wonder how many valuable people get pushed away with a method like this. A Candidate who was declined the position has no idea how the interview went, or why the decision was made. The decision was made by one person alone.
Interview Questions
- What are three different DNS zone types? 1 Answer
Helpful (1)No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Savvis (Santa Clara, CA) in May 2010.
Got a call from HR to schedule. A few days later had a video Cam interview with hiring manager on the east coast. Interview was very basic, it wasn't a good match for me. I was told that they'll got to me but I never heard back from them again. I expected a email or something. Very rude and unprofessional.

kind of like Obama's lie about keeping your insurance if you like it. Many will be upset when they are shifted from Medicare to Medicaid:Barack Obama, standing in front of seventeen first responders, blasted Republicans on Tuesday for refusing to raise taxes as part of a deal to avoid the sequester cuts. However, it was his own administration who not only championed the idea of the sequester, but he is the man that signed it into law. This is what happens when the communist lose track of their lies.
'ObamaCare vs. childrens health -If youre a poor child, and you like your health plan, you cant keep it. Its now clear that ObamaCare will force millions to accept inferior health coverage to what they have now. The most-threatened groups include: people who now get their policies from a job at a small business, those who buy individual coverage direct from an insurer, seniors who qualify for Medicaid as well as Medicare & kids enrolled in the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
The undermining of CHIP is particularly shocking: This is a bipartisan program that liberals spent much of the last 2 decades expanding. CHIP provides health coverage to nearly 8M children of families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid. The program has plenty of flaws, but often gets kids enrolled in plans that are a lot better than traditional Medicaid & equal to a Blue Cross plan in some states, or the insurance state employees get in others. Yet ObamaCare will force many into Medicaid networks.
At risk are CHIPS kids whose parents earn between 100-133% of the Federal Poverty Level which comes out to $23K-$31K a year for a family of 4. Heres how it works: An obscure provision buried the ObamaCare laws Section 2001(a)(5)(B) automatically enrolls in Medicaid any child whose parents earn between 100-133% of the Federal Poverty Line even if the kids are now getting better coverage from CHIP.
The provision makes these kids a mandatory Medicaid population, so it applies to all states. As long as the parents are in that income zone, the kids are on Medicaid (even if the parents arent). Goodbye, CHIP.
& Americans will soon learn that ObamaCare means their present insurance will get switched, cheapened or hollowed out. In the individual market, where people buy coverage directly from insurers, most are going to end up in the new ObamaCare exchanges, regardless of income. Once the full brunt of the laws regulations of this market starts hitting this fall, the individual plans they now buy just wont be offered outside the exchanges.(This is true even in states that refuse to set up their own exchanges.)
Worse, many are going to find that the exchange-based coverage is a lot skimpier than what they now enjoy with narrow lists of allowed doctors & hospitals & heavy coinsurance pymnts.
Analysts predict that 25% who get their health coverage from small businesses will also quickly end up in the exchanges & also find that their new plans are far more meager than the coverage they now carry.
Poor seniors are in a similar jam. Under demonstration programs being rolled out nationally by Medicare,dual eligibles seniors who also qualify for Medicaid are involuntarily losing their standard Medicare benefit with coverage is being turned over to the states, which get federal cash to manage the medical needs of these less-well-off, & often sickly, seniors. & some states are dumping them straight into their existing Medicaid networks.
These are just some of the dislocations unfolding, & ObamaCare isnt even in full swing. In his State of the Union Address, the president said hes simply updating Americas founding vision to help everyone have a better life.How does imposing worse medical coverage for some of our most vulnerable citizens do that?'
