The Bruins (29-23-11) will go for their sixth straight road win this afternoon in Pittsburgh when they make their second stop on their seven-game road trip, taking on the defending champs, the Penguins (39-22-4).
The Penguins have caught a hot streak as of late, especially at home, where they have earned points in seven straight (5-0-2). They are of course led by one of the world's greats, Sidney Crosby, who has had himself quite the week. A week ago today, it was his overtime goal past U.S. goalie Ryan Miller that earned Canada the gold medal in Vancouver. Following that, his pair of goals in yesterday's 6-3 win over Dallas gave Crosby the league lead in goals with 44, putting him two ahead of the NHL's points leader, Washington's Alex Ovechkin.
As for Boston, they continued to be road warriors, taking two points in yesterday's matinee with the Islanders, winning 3-2 on the heels of Tim Thomas's 37-save performance.
Let's now dive in and take a closer look at today's matchup…

Under the terms of the agreements, QIAGEN will receive kits for a PCR-based molecular assay for HIV-1 viral load testing in the U.S. and Canada which will be commercialized under QIAGEN's brand. This test will enable healthcare professionals to measure the viral load of HIV infections in patients. It is expected that the new HIV-1 test will be available by 2012, thereby adding to QIAGEN's pipeline of U.S. regulatory submissions which is expected to also include a quantitative HBV (Hepatitis B) test. In addition, Abbott will provide a quantitative HCV (Hepatitis C) test which will be optimized and labeled for use on QIAGEN's QIAsymphony RGQ instrument and marketed under the Abbott brand in the U.S. and Canada. Subject to regulatory approval, this test may be available by the end of 2012.
QIAGEN will supply Abbott with certain key products required for a PCR-based HPV (human papillomavirus) test in the U.S. and Canada. This test will run on Abbott's m2000 lab automation system which features throughput up to 96 samples per run. QIAGEN itself will continue to address the HPV screening market with its prevention platform QIAensemble which is designed to process up to 2,000 samples per shift. Technologies which are the basis of QIAGEN's current and next-generation HPV screening assays are not subject to the transaction.
Tests for HIV and HCV are currently among the most widely used commercial
applications in molecular diagnostics, with U.S. markets estimated to be in
the range of US$ 180 and 140 million in annual sales, respectively.
Laboratories with molecular diagnostic capabilities usually include these
frequently performed assays in their testing me

Before Sundance: Actors come to Utah
Deseret News archives
As star gazers get set this week to stalk their favorite actors at the Sundance Film Festival, photo historian Ron Fox sifted through the Deseret News archives to find some evidence of stars who visited Utah in times gone by.
Sometimes stars dropped by often — like Jimmy Stewart, who came in 1957 to promote his film "Spirit of St. Louis" about Charles Lindberg's famous flight. Twenty years later he was back again — this time promoting "The Magic of Lassie," a film featuring the dog Lassie. Lassie came along for the trip and upstaged Stewart in a joint visit to the Deseret News. In March 1980, Stewart was in town again to film a Christmas TV-special called "Mr. Krueger's Christmas" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Vincent Price came to Salt Lake City in Jan. 1950 to help raise money to combat polio. He appeared at two events for the March of Dimes — a dance and a fashion show. He was even made honorary governor of Utah for a day. It probably didn't hurt his popularity in Utah that he had played Joseph Smith in the 1940 movie, "Brigham Young."
Charity also brought comedian Jack Benny to town in November of 1964. Benny's comedy portrayed him as a miser, but he didn't charge anything for his playing the violin to raise money for the Utah Symphony Orchestra. The concert at the Tabernacle was packed to hear him perform with the orchestra. Jim Fitzpatrick wrote in the Salt Lake Tribune that "Mr. Benny has an eager, dedicated, unswerving ineptness of technique that is awesome to see and excruciating to hear."
But he earned the orchestra $61,000.
Another famous movie comedian, Buster Keaton, first came to Salt Lake City when he was a teenager in 1909. He did a bit of vaudeville on the stage of the Orpheum Theater. He liked the city so much he came back again 56 years later in May 1965 to film an industrial film for U.S. Steel at Winder Dairy and a farm in Hunter (now West Valley City), according to the Trib.
Other actors that came to Salt Lake include John Wayne, Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Humphrey Bogart, William Shatner and the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford. They came for charities, they came to shoot films, they came to act in plays and sometimes they just came through on their way to someplace else.
And just like at Sundance this week, wherever they went, people watched and some even took pictures.

'Frustrating volume control.'
'Lots of Peripheral Connection Options.'
'TOSHIBA Value Added Package.'

'The X205-S9359 is typically heavy at 8.7 pounds'
'Mediocre display resolution.'
'The touchpad is probably the worst thing about this laptop'
'On the heavy side'
'the outside of the casing is gloss black, with a metallic finish in the centre'
'Unfortunately, the screen's glossy finish is among the most reflective we've seen lately; the reflections were manageable in a typical office environment but intolerable when we were seated with our backs to an outside window.'

In My Secret Life
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I'll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white.
Thank G-d it's not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.

Heartwarming: Nintendo Comics System
- Zelda makes and Anguished Declaration of Love to try to save Link from being hopelessly corrupted by power in the storyline "The Price."
- In "The Revenge of Ooze," Bowser immediately chokes a piranha plant for insulting Lemmy.
- The same story has a number of pretty sweet father/son moments between Bowser and Lemmy: Their plotline in the story involves Lemmy taking his "ambush test," which basically means sneaking up on someone and beating the crap out of them. Despite the... questionable nature of the test, Bowser is really being a supportive father here, cheering for his son to do well and even letting him take some time off to have fun with a bit of cosplay (the ambush takes place at a comic convention).
- This does turn out to be a mistake as Lemmy gets carried away with the cosplay and attacks Bowser instead — but after recovering from the attacks by both Lemmy and Mario, Bowser is actually proud of Lemmy, because attacking close family members gives extra credit! And the comic ends with Bowser taking his son out for burgers and fries, because "we both deserve a break." Awwww...

Brown Oxide: "Bark Brown", a nice, standard brown. While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add 1 teaspoon of oxide to 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer.

C-reactive protein measurements in meat juice of pigs
ABSTRACT A time-resolved immunofluorometric assay was evaluated for measurement of C-reactive protein in meat juice from diaphragmatic muscle collected from slaughtered pigs. Analytical and clinical validation of the method was performed by using meat juice samples, obtained by freezing and thawing muscle pieces. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation ranged from 2.2-5.8% to 7.9-14.3%, respectively. The limit of detection was 0.00038 microg/ml. The method measured the CRP concentrations in a linear manner with a good accuracy (r=0.99). CRP concentrations in serum were highly correlated with those in diaphragmatic meat juice (r=0.90; p<0.001). CRP concentrations were significantly higher in clinically affected pigs compared to non-diseased pigs. The assay described here provides a sensitive method for measuring CRP concentrations in meat juice, which can represent a suitable alternative to serum or blood samples and simplifies the process of sampling collection at slaughter.

- "Measurement of haptoglobin and C-reactive protein Hp and CRP were measured in serum, saliva and meat juice using time resolved immunofluorometric assays (TR-IFMAs) (Gutiérrez et al., 2008, 2009b). The limit of detection (LOD) for these assays was 0.52 and 0.47 ng/mL for Hp and CRP, respectively , and the coefficients of variation for intra-and inter-assay precision were <12% for both assays (Gutiérrez et al., 2008, 2009b).

Article: Haptoglobin and C-reactive protein as biomarkers in the serum, saliva and meat juice of pigs experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Concentrations of the acute phase proteins haptoglobin (Hp) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in the serum, saliva and meat juice of pigs experimentally infected with a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) field isolate. Sixteen PRRSv-free pigs were inoculated IM, killed in groups of four at 7, 14, 21 and 24 days post-inoculation (dpi), and samples of blood, saliva and diaphragmatic muscle were collected. Four non-infected controls were killed at 24 dpi. Significant differences in lung lesions were found between PRRSv-inoculated animals and controls. Changes in the concentrations of Hp and CRP in serum, saliva and meat juice samples were similar, peaking at 21 dpi. The correlations found suggest that the measurement of Hp and CRP in saliva and meat juice could serve as complementary, or possibly alternative, biomarkers of pig herd-health.The Veterinary Journal 07/2010; 185(1):83-7.

Article: Fast measurement of serum amyloid A in different specimens from swine by using a new one-step time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to develop a one-step, fast, competitive time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay to determine porcine serum amyloid A (SAA) by using species-specific reagents. The assay consisted of an all-in-one format involving only 55 min of incubation that was adapted and validated for use in 3 different specimens: serum, saliva, and meat juice. The method had overall within- and between-run coefficients of variation under 8% and 12%, respectively, and coefficients of determination higher than 0.93 for linearity under dilution analysis for all specimens. The limits of detection were 0.32 mg/l, 0.28 mg/l, and 1.74 mg/l for serum, saliva, and meat juice measurements, respectively. Upper and lower limits of quantification were determined for each sample type and resulted in wide assay ranges that allowed a precise SAA measurement in all the fluids investigated. Statistically significant differences (P = 0.0004 for serum and P < 0.0001 for the saliva and meat juice samples) in SAA levels were found when healthy (n = 20) and diseased (n = 20) pigs were compared. The obtained results indicate that this fast, sensitive, and robust assay for SAA measurement could be of use to determine health and welfare status in swine by employing alternative samples to serum.Journal of veterinary diagnostic investigation: official publication of the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, Inc 09/2011; 23(5):902-8.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Wildflower Bed and Breakfast. Chris,Shelly, and Morgan are superb hosts. Rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated. Their hospatility is amazing. I could not ask for any better service or attention. The breakfast is delicious. Shelley is an awesome cook. We had not been to Mt View in many years and we were not familiar with places to go for entertainment or to eat. Chris and Shelly offered many suggestions and we were not disappointed in any of those suggestions. Sitting on the porch rocking and drinking coffee in the morning and afternoon and listening to the folk music was a real treat. If you are going to be in the area, I highly suggest you stay at the Wildflower . You will not be disappointed. We will be back.

"This was our second visit to attend the autoharp conference at Mountain View State Park. I was flattered that the excellent group of musicians would allow me to sit in and play a few numbers on harmonica and autoharp. JC Bonds came next morning at 6:00 AM and we played old time music on the front porch before breakfast which of course was excellent. WE SHALL RETURN ! ! !"

A punk hairdresser (LaBruce) takes time off from watching Altman's That Cold Day in the Park on TV and picks up a surly skinhead (von Brucker), taking him home to bed, board and bondage fantasies. The sullen object of his desire isn't about to stick around and listen to the Carpenters, though, and hightails it to the apartment of his lesbian film-maker sister (Jones), who's busy casting for her new production, 'Girls of the SLA'. Jones is undoubtedly the star of this exceptionally cut-price venture, with the sassiest delivery and by far the best lines ('I wonder if this is how Agnès Varda got started?' she sighs). LaBruce's film has been compared to Kuchar and Warhol, but both would be hard pressed to beat the longueurs and economy measures. One of the tackier highlights of the new wave of Queer Cinema, it's patchily enjoyable and pretty endearing.

When I was 15, my friend and I were walking along the beautiful downtown area of Hoboken, NJ in the summer of '04. We had just left dinner and were making our way toward the train station to go home. As we walked past the McDonald's on the corner of Washington & 3rd, two men who had been leaning against the building talking to each other approached us. They looked to be about 30. They struck up a conversation with us, and then asked if we would like to join them for dinner. We said no, thanks. Then they asked if we would go back to their apartment which was right down the road in Jersey City. They even threw in that they had an indoor pool. At this point I was way creeped out by them, so I just nudged my friend and was like, "Let's get out of here." But she didn't seem too threatened. And then they asked us, "Do you girls want to make $1500 each tonight? If you come back to our apartment to hang out for a little, we'll give you $1500 each. You can make that kind of money in a night if you start hanging around us." Finally I grabbed my friend's arm and pulled her away and we started walking really fast. They followed quickly behind us. I panicked and decided to make a huge scene to get everyone's attention so that they would leave us alone. I started yelling obscenities and was like: "THESE MEN ARE TRYING TO KIDNAP US!" Passersby paused and looked at us, and the men immediately darted off. We ran to the train station and hopped on the next train home.
I think that what surprised me most about this experience was not that these two men were trying to take advantage of two young girls– but that nobody really seemed concerned enough to do a damn thing about it.

This man is a regular at my pub, and at first he seemed a nice bloke, albeit, a bit weird. But soon he would male inappropriate comments, and ask the barmaids for their numbers. One girl left her phone on the bar, and he grabbed it and phoned himself from it, so he had her number. Up until a certain incident, he would phone her 2 times a month to make sure she had kept the number. I came into work on a Sunday, in a very nice top, black, lowcut and pirate-esk. I turned around to find him holding his phone up, licking his lips and clearly taking a picture. I called him on it, and to show me he'd deleted it. When he made to put the phone back in his pocket, and ignore me, I grabbed it off him, and threw it on the floor and smashed it. He left, and neither of us had mentioned it since. But 3 days ago, an ex-barmaid told me he had been caught taking pictures of female customers and barmaids he's terrorized in the past. So I decided to take his picture and post it on Hollaback. He's a pervert, but he's far from harmless. Creep. So if you live in the chew valley, and you like a pint, you will recognise this old pervert.
Once when I was 12, I was standing outside of our public library, waiting for my mother to pick me up, when I saw a man walk by. I'd seen him before, and he'd always sort of looked at me funny, so I just sort of ignored him and made sure to stay where I was. He was tall, dark haired, had a bit of a beard, and wore black clothes, as if he thought he was trying to be Johnny Cash with the color scheme he had going. That day, however, when he walked by he gave me this strange grin and winked at me, and made a sort of kissing noise at me. I don't know if he thought he was being funny, impressive, or obnoxious, or perhaps something else altogether. But, he certainly was being inappropriate. I was a child, and he was a middle-aged man. I was too afraid to tell my mother what happened, but I made sure never to be alone when I saw that man around town, again.
When I was a very little girl, probably around 7 or 8, I remember going over to play with my friend M. Her street wasn't the nicest street, nor the nicest neighborhood, and so we stayed in her yard. But, there was a group of teenage boys, perhaps closer to men than boys, who kept hollering at us. M and I totally ignored them, although we did sort of keep an eye on them to know where they were. They were acting very aggressive. Later that day, when my mother and grandmother came to pick me up, those men were so brazen that they started yelling again when my mother, grandmother, and I went by in the truck! One of them, a tall and lean man with dark hair, said quite clearly, "Come here a minute, I wanna moon ya!" I remember that clearly to this day. Especially since my mother said later that, when used in that particular context, it didn't mean mooning someone like you'd moon them from your car. It meant that they wanted to make a baby with you. It disturbed me greatly, but I was glad to have the information. Not realizing what that had meant, when they said it to me once before that day, I had almost thought of going over to them to give them a piece of my mind. Knowing what they really meant by the phrase, I was a lot more aware of the need to stay away from strangers, especially loud and obnoxious ones.
When I was around 21, I took a trip with a couple of friends out of town to visit a couple of museums. We parked the car close to the art museum we were going to go to first, and once we were done there, we walked to the second museum. It was a bit of a jaunt, but not too much. On our way back from there, a few hours later, we were crossing the street at the crosswalk, to get back to the parking area where our car was located, while cars were stopped at a red light. We were about halfway across when an older man — with his wife in the seat next to him, I suppose, if that's who she was — honked his horn at us quickly when we were passing in front of his car. It startled us, and we jumped. He seemed to find this hilarious and laughed out loud with a huge belly laugh. One of my friends flipped him off, but he didn't seem to notice. I don't really remember the expression of the woman next to him, or if she even had an expression over it at all. The man was still laughing by the time we had finished crossing the street and were a bit down the sidewalk. I could hear him as he started to drive off.
When I was a child, I don't quite remember how old, but I think around 13, I was walking home from the grocery store with my mother, and it was late evening. While we were on a neighborhood street, there was a car that came by several times, honked their horn at us, yelled something at us that I don't remember, and then laughed when I jumped. Which I did every time. It was probably my first encounter with something like this and it left me feeling scared and confused.
I was walking with my stepfather along Washington street when I was 17, back in the summer of 2003. Out of the blue this car with a group of teenage boys went by, honking their horn as obnoxiously as possible, and one of them rolled down his window, leaned out from the back seat, and had on some sort of Halloween costume after the Scream serial killer, and screamed at me as they drove passed. They made a point to do this three or four more times, as well. The screaming, if he was speaking actual words, seemed unintelligible. But, it was obvious that he, and his buddies, thought he was hilarious and impressive.
I was walking along the side area that was meant for bikes and foot traffic close to the four lanes, near the patches of grass, with a friend of mine. While we were walking, all of a sudden this truck went by and the driver honked the horn at us and grinned, as if he thought we were supposed to be impressed with him. We decided to ignore him, but it was still ridiculous and we felt as if the rest of the drivers on the road that day were probably staring at us after that, too.
My sister was walking home alone one night in a desolate small town (where she was a high school student) and became aware of a man following her. This went on for a block or two until she spun full around, stared at him (from a short distance), and then yelled, "I have seen your face, I can identify you to the police, leave me alone and stop following me!" and ran. He did not pursue her.
I was on the bus one time in San Francisco and had to stand up as the seats were all taken. I stood right next to where an older white man was sitting, just inches away from him, and for whatever reason(?) he reached up and put his hands on my hips. I slid out his grasp and shouted (on a completely silent bus full of people), GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! and everyone looked over. He did, but he also said "it's just as much your fault as it is mine". EW.

Once I was with my best friend on the streetcar (in Toronto) and this old(ish) man approached us and started talking to us. I find it very hard to simply ignore people when they do this and he just seemed like a harmless, lonely old man. Then he started asking us if we'd go to dinner with him. We politely declined. Then he started asking if he could pay us 1000$ each to just have dinner with him. We kept declining, and his offers just kept escalating until he was offering 2500$ each to bring us up to his apartment so we could meet his female friend Kitty.
Since we had just been taking the streetcar for fun we decided to get off. He followed.
He kept walking beside us and talking, not being overly threatening, but I was sure to keep myself in between him and my friend (she's two years younger, and I have a black belt in karate so I know I could handle myself).
She then bumped into something and said "ow" to which he responded "oh don't worry girls, I won't hurt you" – then he grabbed my arm and continued "well, I might".
At this I just knew we had to get away from him. I tried to mouth the word "HELP" to passers by. I made eye contact with numerous people (including three guys who looked like they could have been College football players) but none took notice. I even thought about running up to one of these guys and pretending that I knew them. I didn't though.
We were in a somewhat chic neighbourhood, and the only places around were expensive lunch restaurants, and our misplaced sense of decency made us not want to disturb people's meals.
Then we passed by this upscale salon and someone was handing out flyers at the front door. We walked over and each took one and tried to strike up a conversation. Then the old man started talking to this flyer guy. This was our out we thought! We snuck behind him and walked briskly to a corner store just up the street.
Once in the corner store we both looked shook up and the owner of the store asked us if anything was wrong. I quickly told him to call 911 (which he did not) and that a man had followed us off the streetcar and we were trying to get away, but before I could finish the old man walked in and walked straight towards us.
He turned to the owner and said "these are my daughters! This one's a pilot" – he said pointing to me "and this one's a nurse" – he said pointing to my friend.
-let me just say that my name is Amelia, like Amelia Earhart, which I hadn't told him. As well my mom wanted to be a pilot when she went to military college but being a woman she wasn't allowed. And my friend's mother is a nurse. Just a really weird coincidence… anyway…
Since he was situated in front of us we were both shaking our heads vigorously to let this store owner know that this was not the truth (plus we were both obviously in our teens, so being a pilot and a nurse was a little out there).
He distracted the man enough that his son could sneak us out of the back of the store. The son escorted us to Bathurst, and from there we walked quite briskly down to Queen street. I don't know if the police were ever called, but this guy was definitely creepy. At certain points I was sure that if he had found the chance he would have tried something horrible.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 434,657, filed Oct. 15, 1982 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,467,275.
Various sytems have been used for measuring the DC characteristics of both active and passive electrical devices. Conventionally, in such systems a DC current is applied directly to a device and an output DC voltage is measured; or a DC voltage is directly applied and an output DC current is measured.
For measuring the DC characteristics of semiconductor devices the classical measuring instrument is the curve tracer in which a DC voltage (or current) is applied to the device under test (hereinafter referred to as a DUT) and the resulting output current (or voltage) is displayed by means of analog circuitry on a cathode ray tube (CRT). The curve tracer, unfortunately, suffers from several limitations: first, since the results are displayed in analog form on a CRT it is generally difficult to accurately read the displayed data; second, in order to change the type of measurement desired, such as required to measure the various parameters of a transistor, it is necessary to physically alter or exchange the measuring circuit itself; and third, such a system has no means for the direct storage of the measured results.
Generally, in such a conventional system, when automation is desired, a computer is employed for controlling matrix switches which in turn make connection between a plurality of voltage sources, current sources, voltmeters and ammeters and the various terminals of the DUT. Such a system has proven very useful, but is bulky, complex, and expensive. In addition, it has proven difficult to rapidly perform a wide range of desired measurements.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a system for measuring the DC characteristics of a DUT with both high resolution and high accuracy. A second objective is to provide a system which is highly flexible and readily adaptable so that a large variety of desired measurements can be made without extensive changes in the measuring circuit. A third objective is to provide a measuring system in which the measured data can be manipulated and displayed as desired by the operator.
The measuring system according to the present invention includes a plurality of measuring units that are connected to the terminals of the DUT. These measuring units include both controllable voltage and current sources, as well as an ammeter and voltmeter which can digitize their respective measured values. The digitized data is then processed in a manner determined by the operator.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the measuring units used in the measuring system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the overall construction of a DC characteristic measuring system according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 3-5 are schematic views illustrating examples of the connection of a plurality of measuring units to various, types of devices to be measured according to the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the overall construction of a DC characteristic measuring system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the measuring units used in the system according to the present invention. The measuring unit 2 also called a "Stimulus and Measurement Unit" or SMU includes a series circuit of a variable voltage source 4 and a current measuring circuit 6, a parallel circuit of a variable current source 8 and a voltage measuring circuit 10 and a switch 12 to select between these circuits. The outputs of the variable voltage source 4 and variable current source 8 can be changed by a controller 32 (FIG. 2). The SMU 2 is connected at its output to the object element to be measured 14. In this embodiment the object element 14 may be any of a number of devices such as a resistor, a diode or the like.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall construction of the DC characteristics measuring system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which four SMUs 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D are connected to the respective terminals of the object elements to be measured 20 (hereinafter referred to as a Device Under Test or DUT). Each SMU 2A to 2D is connected to a digital-to-analog converter 24 (hereinafter referred to as a DAC) and an analog-to-digital converter 26 (hereinafter referred to as a ADC) through a multiplexer 22. The memory 28, display 30, DAC 24 and ADC 26 are each connected to the controller 32.
In order to apply a voltage or current required for a particular measurement to the DUT 20, a SMU setting signal 34 sent out from the controller 32, is converted into an analog signal by the DAC 24, and then applied to the respective SMU 2A to 2D through the multiplexer 22. In addition, the analog voltage and current information measured in the respective SMUs 2A to 2D is sent to the ADC 26 through the multiplexer 22. Thus, the digital signal 36 is transmitted to the controller 32. The digital signal 36 is then stored in the memory 28. At the same time various operator determined computing processes are carried out in controller 32, the results of which are transmitted to display 30.
The SMUs 2A through 2D can also be modified to include the DAC and ADC therein. In this case, the multiplexer 22 can be omitted.
FIGS. 3 through 5 show examples in which the SMUs are connected to various DUTs.
In FIG. 3, one terminal of a resistor under test 40 is connected to SMU 42 and one terminal of resistor under test 40 is connected to SMU 44. In this example, SMU 42 functions as a voltage source generating a constant voltage of, for example, 10 V. At the same time, SMU 44 functions merely as a connecting lead wire since the output voltage of SMU 44 is set to 0 V. Accordingly if, for example, the resistance of the resistor 40 is 1000 ohms, the current measuring circuit included in the SMU 42 generates an analog voltage corresponding to "10 mA".
In FIG. 4, the terminals of the diode 46 are connected to SMUs 48 and 50, respectively. Since the output voltage and output current of SMUs 48 and 50 can be changed as desired, both the forward and backward characteristics of the diode 46 can be measured without changing the connection between the SMUs 48 and 50 and diode 46.
In FIG. 5, three SMUs 54, 56 and 58 are connected to the respective terminals of a transistor 52 for measuring the DC characteristics of the transistor 52. Since the voltage and current applied to each transistor terminal can be changed independently by the setting of the SMUs, it is possible to produce on display 30 (see FIG. 2) graphs which characterize various device parameters. Further, a simple change in the setting of the roles of the SMUs can effect a change in the grounding and operating mode of the transistor 52. For example, in case of the grounded base mode characteristics measurement, the SMU 54 is made to function as a voltage source, the output voltage of which is set at 0 V. In like fashion, if the DUT is changed from an NPN transistor to a PNP transistor, it is only necessary that the polarity of the output setting of the SMUs be changed without any change in the test wiring. Thus, it is posssible to electrically characterize a DUT without any external change in the device connections.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the DC characteristic measuring system according to another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the one shown in FIG. 2 in that the function of the single multiplexer 22 in FIG. 2 is performed by a pair of multiplexers 22A and 22B. The multiplexer 22A functions as a multiplexer for setting the source values of the SMUs and the multiplexer 22B functions as a multiplexer for the outputs of the meters of the SMUs. The construction of the system of FIG. 6 is the same in the other respects as the system in the FIG. 2.
As described above, the SMUs can be set as required by the controller. Therefore, the connection to each DUT is facilitated, because when a change is desired in the measuring circuit, only the setting of SMUs has to be changed without the necessity of changing the external connection of and to the DUT itself. Thus, additional circuit change-over switches are unnecessary, which improves the reliability and accuracy of the measuring system itself.
Thus, since the data is transferred in digital form, the measurement accuracy of the measuring system depends almost solely on the accuracy of the ADC and DAC. Hence, the measuring system of the present invention can provide a measurement of extremely high accuracy in comparison with conventional analog systems such as a curve tracer.
Further, since the results of the measurements are stored in digital form, the results of the measurement can be manipulated by controller 32 and displayed in a wide variety of graphical or tabular forms. In addition, it is possible to perform various mathematical operations on the data as desired by the operator before the data is displayed. A detailed display of the coordinates and data is also possible by enlarging, shifting, and marking of the graphical or tabular output. Finally, since the data and controller commands are in digital form it is a simple matter to connect the measuring system to various other apparatuses for subsequent processing or external control.

EFF in the News
"The NSA doesn't need more illegal tools," Sophia Cope, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the Daily Dot in an email. "Congressional oversight revealed that the illegal bulk collection of Americans' phone records was ineffective at foiling terrorist plots. Sen. Paul's response to Gov. Christie was simple: get a warrant."
It's taken seven years of legal wrangling, but one group of pro-privacy activists are hoping an appeals court will finally declare a critical part of the National Security Agency's spying apparatus unconstitutional.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has been challenging the NSA's bulk data collection program in court since 2008, largely running on whisteblower testimony from Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician who alleges the NSA inserted technology into the internet company's infrastructure that allowed it to collect and analyze the data.
"The tide I think is turning," said Hanni Fakhoury, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which joined a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of Aaron Graham, a man convicted of armed robbery after his cell phone location information over seven months was obtained by the government from Sprint.
'Cars are computers now': Forget carjacking, at Las Vegas' Def Con, car hacking has everyone's attention
"For several years now, car companies have been adding software and computer and Internet capabilities to their automobiles, but they may not have been putting the same level of care into the security," said Kurt Opsahl, deputy executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit civil rights group in San Francisco that represents the security research community.
"Cars are really just an example of issues arising from the Internet of Things, where more and more objects are being connected," Opsahl added.
Do Not Track, a standard Web browser setting intended to let consumers avoid sharing their browsing behavior with advertisers, has become a battleground.
Online publishers and advertisers often ignore it, and major browser makers switch it off by default. Nearly a quarter of people who use Web browsers have responded by installing software that simply blocks online ads, according to Forrester Research Inc.
Now the Electronic Frontier Foundation has called a truce. The privacy group Monday unveiled a code of conduct for online publishers. The EFF positions its proposal as a compromise that allows consumers to avoid tracking and publishers to gather ad revenue.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, the non-profit dedicated to securing digital privacy and civil liberties, is trying to get the companies behind major web browsers to adopt a standard for their "Do Not Track" setting. The organization is allying with Disconnect, a San Francisco developer of user-friendly privacy tools, to form a coalition of internet companies that will set down harder rules for the oft-looked-over setting that seeks to give users power over data that's tracked by advertising companies on most commercial websites.
Most Bay Area communities also have automated license scanners on officers' cars or at fixed locations, and some have already cited the Los Angeles case as authority to withhold their records, said attorney Jennifer Lynch of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Her group and other civil liberties advocates asked the state high court to take the case.
Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation who specializes in privacy issues, was surprised at the extent of the LA Sheriff's Department's use of facial recognition technology, particularly the mobile devices that deputies employ in the field.
To the San Francisco-based organization, the advent of mobile facial recognition presents the possibility for police to stop people merely to check their identification and document their biometric information for future reference.
"It pushes the line of what's legal, whether it's permissible to go up to someone and say, 'I want to take your picture.' That's a different issue, a different standard of suspicion than a mug shot photo collected on booking, where there's presumably probable cause for the arrest," Lynch said.
"Face recognition data can be collected without a person's knowledge," said Jennifer Lynch, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based privacy rights group. "It's very rare for a fingerprint to be collected without your knowledge."
Last week, a U.S. District Court ruled that it should be able to get a compulsory license to legally stream local broadcasts. The ruling is under appeal, but should it be upheld it means that local TV stations can be streamed by any number of services, including Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, said Mitch Stoltz, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "It will destroy ... existing cable and satellite systems' comfortable position as the only ones who can transmit broadcast TV for a fee," he said.
