It is a warning light that is illuminated when there is a problem with the EMISSION SYSTEM only. Emission system being the pollution control system.
This can happen for a number of reasons. Check out the RepairPal article on the check engine light: http://repairpal.com/check-engine-light and also the common problems page for your car: http://repairpal.com/mercedes-benz-e430-2000/common_problems

Getcha Program!
Inside and outside ballparks and arenas, there are always people vending programs. Most of the computing we do is the result of other folks' programs and of programs we tweak or rewrite. That's fairly obvious.
However, as I've written before, writing good, useful programs that aren't excessively verbose and flabby isn't easy. Despite a number of really splendid books (Fred Brooks', Knuth's three volumes, Kernighan and Plauger, Kernighan and Pike, Bentley), looking at code shows a lot of untidy, repetitious slovenly work.
I admit to taking old code, snipping a few lines, typing something in, and voil<\#224>--a new driver. Fast and sloppy.
Looking at the 40 million lines of Office 2000, I realize just where the difference between open source and Windows lies—perhaps where the chasm is.
I've pointed out that if you go to the BSD manuals, you can count the number of contributors to the CSRG's (Computer Systems Research Group) efforts over 15 years. It comes to about 600 individuals. In 1998, I heard Bill Gates refer to 2000 programmers in Redmond, WA. There are most likely far more now.
Good programs are written by individuals or small groups. Brian Kernighan told me that AWK was the most difficult thing he'd ever worked on, "because there were three of us."
Take a bunch of bright programmers, assign them to teams, assign a product to each team, and put them to work. The results will be slightly inferior to what the most feeble-minded member of each team would have produced.
I was surprised when I read The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt and Thomas (Addison-Wesley, 2000). It's a nicely done volume which is intended to take the programmer from a "requirement" to a real "product". I must admit I'd always thought of this kind of thing as somewhat comic, but it may be that Hunt and Thomas have good ideas. The book is certainly worth reading.
With all this in mind, I started thinking about the tools I use every day: shells, sed, awk, grep, sort, pipe, etc.
There are several decent books on shell programming, but none covers even most of the available shells (sh, bash, csh, ksh, tcsh and zsh come to mind, and I know there are many more). Robbins' AWK volume is excellent and there was a book on sed a few years ago, but I know of none on grep (nor egrep, which searches using regular expressions). In fact, I know of nothing on zsh. In these cases, we are actually driven to read the on-line man pages.
Just how we get to tools in everyday use is, I think, instructive. I still use troff, for example.
In 1967, L.P. Deutsch and B.W. Lampson took the TECO (an editor) that was running on the PDP-1 at MIT and implemented it on the SDS 940 as QED (= Quick Editor). Ken Thompson took QED and rewrote it for CTSS (compatible time sharing system) on the IBM 7094. He and Dennis Ritchie wrote a version of it for the GE 635 at Bell Labs. Thompson then took that version to create ed in August 1969.
That allowed for editing, but what about printing? J.E. Saltzer had written runoff for CTSS. Bob Morris moved it to the 635, and called it roff. Ritchie rewrote that as rf for the PDP-7, before there was UNIX (it was an evolutionary dead end). At the same time, the summer of 1969, Doug McIlroy rewrote roff in BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language by Martin Richards, 1966), extending and simplifying it at the same time. It was McIlroy's version that first Joe Ossanna and, after his death, Brian Kernighan turned into the troff we still use.
(By the way, TECO is also the ancestor of Emacs.)
Nearly a decade later, Ted Dolotta created the memorandum (-mm) macros, with a lot of input from John Mashey. Thereafter, Eric Allman wrote the BSD -me macros. I still use them.
No teams. No large groups. Just a lot of good programmers trying to make code into something truly useful. And the open way does that.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Financial Planning
Your Goals + Our Expertise = Target Achieved.
Dear Padmalochani madam, it is because of your guidance, coaching and support, I was able to complete CFP course in a very short span of time. You have instilled confidence in me to become an Independent Financial Planner. Blessed to have a mentor & teacher like you ma'am. Thank you for everything.
It is very difficult or, rather rare to find a teacher of Mrs.Padmalochani's caliber. She is very knowledgeable, dedicated and hard working in her profession and teachings and approachable anytime and anywhere. Above all she is an excellent trainer.
Mrs Padmalochani runs the most innovative and result oriented CFP coaching center which prepares the students in all areas of CFP certification to emerge successfully and become ethical practitioners in financial planning.
I had joined for CFP with Mrs. Padmalochani madam in August 2011 under Challenge status. I was a bit skeptical to do it under challenge status in the beginning. But Mrs. Padmalochani motivated and encouraged me to face the challenge. She is an excellent tutor who can guide anyone and help them to pass the CFP exam with flying colours.
I, sincerely feel that the CFP classes were of great support and help as they helped me to focus on my preparation for the exams in a very organized manner. Padmalochani Madam really explained the concepts in very precise way. The subject coverage is also very good and accurate. The simple steps taught by her in solving various problems were of great help and really made our preparation for the exams much easier.

Product Description
Each season of Survivor has its signature moments, and in Palau two challenges stood out. One was the two tribes marching in a circle in the surf, each carrying weights while trying to catch up to the other tribe. The other was a slugfest in which contestants from the two tribes stood on a small platform and tried to knock each other into the water. Two of the contestants turned out to be popular enough to make a return appearance in a later season. On the DVDs are 45 minutes of featurettes with new interviews of Tom, Ian, Stephenie, Bobby Jon, Katie, Jen, Gregg, and Caryn remembering highlights of the season. The eight then broke into two groups of four to record spirited and nostalgic commentary tracks on a total of five episodes. In a well-meaning statement of the obvious, the menu warns against listening to the commentaries if you don't already know who won. --David Horiuchi

The first half tells the tale of a tribe who, through no obvious fault of their own, are seemingly cursed. All these years later, I still remember Bobby Jon as a heartbreaking tragic character. In mid-story, the heroine slips through the jaws of doom... we cheer! But, will she survive? I think that Stephanie is still, to this day, the most popular woman ever on "Survivor".
The "matter of the heart" as we near the climax is an unexpected twist, but totally works in context. And then, finally, FINALLY... the player who dominates the story wins in the end. Having found myself feeling cheated many times before by juries that could not rise above their own hurts and acknowledge the obvious (Colby in "Outback" and Boston Rob in "AllStars" come to mind) here credit is given where credit is due. Three cheers!
The producers are doing those who haven't seen "Survivor" a favor by releasing them in the order that they have: they've skipped over a number of seasons because, quite truthfully, they just aren't very good seasons. "Survivor: Palau" totally justifies its release. 4 stars only cuz I haven't seen the DVD release yet. Let's hope the technicals are as good as the superior storyline.
I liked this season. I loved Coby, Angie. Bobby Jon was someone to cheer for, and stephanie was an inspiration of never to give up. The winnner for the first time was someone who obviously dominated the game and deserved to be there (however; if the final three did not end the way it did; it would have been a much closer battle, with maybe a different winner. ahh, the shoulda coulda wouldas of Survivor).
This is the season where the first Ulonging took place. Ulonging is like Pagonging (affectionaly named after the first tribe in Survivor who got picked off one by one after the merge), but when an entire tribe gets eaten up BEFORE merging. Never before had this happened, and I doubt it will ever happen again. This is the season where for the first time there was no tribes at the beginning of the show.
It, like the 9 before it, and the 2 after is a classic season, and needs to be placed on the shelf next to Borneo, the Outback, Pearl Islands and Allstars. It will be enjoyed, and I can't wait for the commentaries and get the insider information.
What DOES irk me, is that Palau was only on t.v. 2 years ago. I can remember the drama very clearly, while Africa, Marqueases, Thailand & the Amazon are slowly fading away. At least do what was originally being done, Current-eqsue season (like Palau) with an older season. Rumours have it that Vanuatu is being released for Christmas, and with everyone in love with Cirie from Exile Island it wouldn't surprise me if they release that one next. Step away from the current; and bring on what started the road to excellence.
The cast was so likable. Bobby John was my absolute favourite surivor of all time. He wasa never slacking off, he amde friendships, he trusted people, he ahad ethics, he was athletic - if only had had lit that fire and made it to the merge instead of Stephanie, and the final two would have been Ian and Tom --- well, let's jsut say it would have been an A+ al around !
Sorry Stephanie fans, but asides from her athletic ability her feeling of entitlemnet was to arrogant and annyoying to watch. I am glad the merged tribe did not fall for her sob story and voted her off fairly quickly. I can't decide if I dislike her for getting rid of JOLANDA and ruining the Tibe's chances of doing well at the very start or the mean spirited immature (and I will add almost 30 yr old) KATIE for making it to the final two !
This season has some of the toughest and most exciting challanges I have ever seen on survivor. Even the characters you didn't like much at least made you laugh (AKA James and Karen!)
Alot of fun moments, sad ones and twists. Also, guys the scenery is breathtaking. Anyone watching this season with an HDTV will agree :)
I was so glad Bobby Jon was brought back on the very next season (Guatemalla) because he really was deserving.
Hope this review helps !
Derek V
On top of that, the season had the most deserving winner of any season. I won't spoil who it is, but you can probably guess from the DVD cover.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to centrifuges and more particularly to an improved system for monitoring the actual speed and identifying maximum safe speed rating of a centrifuge rotor.
2. Description of Related Art
A centrifuge operation presents a unique set of design criteria where precision control of the rotational operation of the centrifuge is required. The wide variety of biological and chemical experimental research which use centrifugation as their primary tool to achieve component separation and perform experimental assays places a requirement of versatility on the operational characteristics which must be built into the centrifuge. At the same time, safety concerns have to be addressed.
The centrifuge rotor is driven to extremely high rotational speeds in order to generate the centrifugal field required for biological research use. The high rotational speeds of the rotor cause a severe build up of kinetic energy during operation, which if released (as when the rotor breaks into pieces while in rotation), can lead to destruction of the centrifuge and injury or damage to its surrounding environment as well as the human operator. Centrifuge rotors will fail if subject to excess stress under the high centrifuge field when the rotor is run in excess of the speed designed for its safe operation.
In order to make it possible to perform a variety of different kinds of separations, many centrifuges are designed so that they can operate with any of a variety of different kinds and sizes of rotors. The rotors can be interchangeably used in conjunction with the same centrifuge motor and drive shaft, each rotor having a different weight and strength of material and a different maximum safe speed above which the particular rotor should not be operated. Because failure of any rotor can be catastrophic, it is important that the centrifuges be able to determine the maximum safe speed of a rotor without having to rely upon the attentiveness of its operator.
Accurate control of the speed of a rotor also makes it important that a centrifuge include an accurate tachometer for generating a signal indicative of the actual speed of the rotor.
It is therefore clear that a versatile centrifugation system requires in part: (1) a maximum safe rotor speed be identified for each rotor; and (2) the operation of the rotor during centrifugation be monitored and controlled. As a result, some centrifuges are equipped with detection circuits to achieve these objectives. One such system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,715 commonly assigned to the assignee of the present invention, which is hereby incorporated by reference. In the disclosed specification, a method of rotor identification and determination of the rotor's maximum safe speed is presented which relies on the detection of changing magnetic flux from magnetic coding elements to provide the necessary rotor identification and maximum safe speed information as well as actual rotor speed. Referring to FIGS. 1A and B, a single set of magnetic coding elements, e.g. permanent magnets 14 are imbedded in a circular array in the base 12 of the rotor 10. The permutation of the magnetic orientation of the magnets 14 is unique to the rotor model and provides positive identification of the rotor model. The transducer 16 is a Hall effect sensor which is used to detect the magnetic orientation of the permanent magnets 14. Magnets are also imbedded in the base of each model of interchangeable rotor designed for use with the centrifuge.
Specifically six magnets 14 are spaced at equal intervals in a circle and each is positioned to direct either a north-oriented or south-oriented magnetic field outward from the base 12 of the rotor 14 for detection by the Hall effect sensor 16. The sensor 16 detects a changing magnetic reluctance as the permanent magnets 14 rotate past the fixed sensor and induce a voltage in the sensor. A series of sharply defined voltage pulses of positive and negative polarity corresponding to north and south magnetic orientations, respectively, are generated by the sensor 16 and amplified in the detection circuit (not shown). The pulses represent the model of rotor used. Stored in the central processing unit (not shown) is an information listing identifying the maximum rated speed for each model of rotor. Once the rotor is identified on the basis of the pulses, the central processing unit reads the maximum speed rating information stored within its memory. The maximum permitted operation speed of the centrifuge is then set not to exceed the rated speed of the rotor. Thus the patent discloses an embodiment which is able to identify a rotor on the basis of a single transducer according to the combination of the north and south-oriented magnets 14 and the order that they pass the hall effect sensor 16.
The actual rotor speed can also be determined from the counting of the voltage pulses. For overspeed protection, the central processing unit is used to compare actual rotor speed with the maximum speed rating of the rotor. The central processing unit also is aware of what had been programmed at the operator keyboard for the desired acceleration and speed. The central processing unit functions to prevent the rotor from being actually operated beyond its intended rating even if a higher speed has been programmed.
As explained in the patent, the use of the coding scheme with a six-magnet array allows the detection circuitry to distinguish up to eleven different kinds of rotors. Stated differently, the coding scheme allows as many as eleven kinds of rotors, each with a different respective maximum safe speed, to be used with a particular centrifuge which incorporates the disclosed rotor identification technique. With the advent of new generation ultracentrifuges, additional rotors are designed for higher speed operations. It follows that the new ultracentrifuges will be able to accommodate rotors of higher speed ratings in addition to speed ratings of the eleven lower speed rotors. It is therefore desirable to design a system of rotor identification in new generation ultracentrifuges which will operate with a larger selection of rotors. It is also desirable to design the system to be compatible with prior art centrifuges and rotors.
The present invention is directed to an improved method and system of tachometer and rotor identification which is designed for use in new higher speed centrifuges to accommodate additional rotors of higher maximum speed ratings and which is compatible with the existing rotor identification information found on prior art rotors. The prior art rotors are compatible with the new higher speed centrifuges and the new higher speed rotors are compatible with the prior art centrifuges.
The present invention makes use of at least two sensors in the centrifuge for detecting rotor speed codes provided on the higher speed rotor at different radial distances from the axis of the rotor. The speed code at one radial distance corresponds to the highest maximum speed rating for the prior art rotors described in the background section. The second speed code at a different radial distances is used to provide information relating to the actual maximum speed rating of the rotor. When the new rotor is placed in operation in the new centrifuge having two sensors, one of the sensors detects the actual speed rating of the rotor and the other sensor detects the actual rotor speed. When the new rotor is placed in a prior art centrifuge having only one sensor, the maximum speed is set not to exceed the highest maximum speed rating provided by the first speed code. Hence, rotors with two speed codes can be used on prior art centrifuges having one sensor, as well as new higher speed centrifuges having two sensors. In addition, prior art rotors having only one speed code can also be detected by the sensor corresponding to the first speed code in the new centrifuges.
In another aspect of the present invention, the threshold for the detection of the codes is automatically adjusted according to the amplitude of the sensor output. This improves the detection dynamic range and the accuracy and reliability of the detection circuit.

The following description is of the best presently contemplated mode of carrying out the invention. This description is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is best determined by reference to the appended claims.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is disclosed schematically a system by which information provided by the magnetic pulses detected from a rotating rotor 20 may be utilized to control a drive motor 22 and protect against overspeed. The motor 22 has a spindle shaft 24 upon which an individually selected rotor 20 may be affixed. The underside plan view of the rotor 20 is represented in FIG. 3 by a flat circular surface 26 having a plurality of magnets 28 and 30 imbedded therein. The configuration of the magnets will be discussed in detail below. Two Hall effect sensors 32 and 34 are disposed below the rotor 20 in functional relationship to the magnets. When driven by the motor 22, the magnets 28 and 30 revolves past the Hall effect sensors 32 and 34.
The operation of a Hall effect device is well known in the art. It is sufficed to briefly summarize its operation. A Hall effect sensor is sensitive to the direction of the magnetic field to which it is exposed, its output can be used to distinguish a north-oriented magnet from a south-oriented magnet. The sensor outputs a voltage signal in response to the detected magnetic field. More particularly, the output voltage of the sensor will increase (become more positive) with respect to a nominal value thereof when a north-oriented magnet passes by the sensor, and will decrease (becomes more negative) with respect to the nominal value thereof when a south-oriented magnet passes by the sensor. As a result, the output signal of the sensor is made up of a series of positive and negative pulses, the sequence of the pulses depending upon the sequence of the magnetic orientations of the magnets passing by the sensor.
As the pulses are time dependent, they can be used to determine the actual rotational speed of the rotor. In the example shown, a sequence of six pulses output by the sensor 34 represents one revolution of the rotor. Given the timing of the pulses, the rotation speed is easily determined by the processor/controller 40. As will be more fully explained below, the magnets 28 and 30 are arranged in a particular orientation to correspond to a maximum safe speed rating for the particular rotor. The output of the Hall effect sensors 32 and 34 can be used to identify the particular rotor and its maximum safe speed rating.
The output signals of the sensors 32 and 34 are input to a processor/controller 40 which uses the signals to identify the rotor 20 and its maximum safe speed rating and to determine the actual speed of the rotor 20 which may be used to control the motor 22 to regulate the speed of the rotor 20 not to exceed its maximum speed rating. The circuitry of the processor/controller 40 may be modified from that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,715 to Durbin, which has been assigned to the assignee of the present invention, and which has been incorporated by reference herein. It is noted that while the system in Durbin makes use of signal from one sensor, it can be easily modified to a two-sensor system given the disclosure of the desired function of the present invention. Additional modifications may be possible, see for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,700,117 to Giebeler which also has been commonly assigned to the assignee of the present invention, and which is incorporated by reference herein.
In addition to the prior art detection circuits, the present invention proposes an improved detection circuit which adjusts the threshold setting for the magnetic pulses. Specifically in prior art circuits, the magnetic pulse is detected to be present when the corresponding Hall sensor output voltage pulse exceeds a preset threshold level. In the present invention, the threshold level changes in a fixed relationship to the average of the detected amplitudes of the pulses. Referring to FIG. 4, the functional block diagram of the pulse detection circuit of the present invention is shown. The Hall sensor (32, 34) output voltage pulses are amplified by amplifier 50. The output of the amplifier 50 is monitored by a peak detector 52 which detects the peak of each pulse. Upon detection of the peak of a pulse, the pulse detection threshold is set at functional block 58. To be more precise, because of the inherent time delay in the detection circuit which typically comprises resistance-capacitance network, the peaks of several pulses are inherently averaged for determination of the threshold setting. The threshold is set by the user at a predetermined percentage of the average peak level of the pulses. This percentage is chosen with due consideration of the detection dynamic range desired, the expected amplitude of the pulses, and the gain of the amplifier. Once the threshold is set, the amplified signal from the amplifier 50 is compared to the threshold at comparator 60. The pulse is detected as the signal exceeds the threshold. The threshold is changed as the average peak value of the pulses changes.
A DC offset 54 is provided to apply a fixed DC offset to mask out background noise. The effect of the DC offset is to ensure no output from the comparator 60 when the rotor has come to a complete stop. Without the DC offset, the background noise in the circuit could cause the threshold to be set at close to zero value to result in the false reading of a detected pulse by the comparator 60 (thus a false indication that the rotor is still spinning) in the presence of noise in the inputs to the comparator 60.
The above described detection circuit by controlling the setting of the threshold will detect pulses over a wider dynamic range. Whereas in prior art circuit, a pulse may be missed if the amplitude of the pulse is below the preset threshold. The amplitudes of the pulses can change due to several reasons. It has been found that the amplitudes of the Hall sensor pulses decrease with increase in rotor speed. Another reason is that during rotation of the rotor, the motor spindle may bend thus varying the distance between the magnets and the Hall sensor and affecting the amplitudes (which decrease significantly with increase in distance) of the pulses. Also, although different models of rotors are designed to be interchangeable, there may be slight but noticeable variation in the distance between the magnets on the base of the rotors and the Hall sensor. Moreover, the field strength of the magnets for the different rotors may not be the same due to variations in manufacture of the magnets.
The configuration of the magnets on the base of the rotor and the coding scheme will now be described. Referring to FIG. 3, the bottom view of the rotor 20 having magnets 28 and 30 configured in accordance with the present invention is shown. The magnets are imbedded flush with the base 26 of the rotor 20. These magnets 28 and 30 each have a north-south magnetic orientation that is generally perpendicular to the rotor base 26. For convenience of illustration, the north poles are shaded and the south poles are cross-hatched. The magnets 28 and 30 are arranged in two concentric circles centered about the axis of the rotor. On each circle, the magnets are spaced at equal angular intervals. Preferably, the two circles of magnets are angularly staggered as shown in FIG. 3. This is to avoid interference between adjacent magnets on the two circles if they were positioned along the same axis. When the rotor rotates, each circle of magnets pass by the respective Hall effect sensor 32 and 34. It will be understood that the total number of magnets in each circle may be larger or smaller than six, depending upon the particular number of coding variations desired and the geometry of the rotor base.
As is discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,715, the maximum number of rotor speed codes that can be obtained with a circle of six magnets is eleven using a circuitry that can identify north and south-oriented magnets as well as each transition from north to south orientations. The eleven possible codes include the two configurations in which either all the north poles or all the south poles are facing the sensor. In the present invention, it is however recommended that such two configurations not be used.
For convenience of description of the coding scheme of the present invention, let the maximum speed rating for a prior art centrifuge be 100,000 rpm. A series of prior art rotors have been designed to operate in such centrifuge at various maximum safe speeds up to 100,000 rpm. As explained in the background section, in the past, one circle of magnets have been used to identify the series of rotors. A new generation of centrifuges (hereinafter "new centrifuges") are now being designed for operation at greater than 100,000 rpm. Thus, the second circle of magnets in the present invention will encode additional speed rating information on the rotors designed for use in the new centrifuges. Specifically, the inner circle of magnets 30 are configured to correspond to the maximum permitted speed for the prior art centrifuge i.e. 100,000 rpm. The radial distance of the magnets 30 is the same as the magnets 14 in the prior art rotor 10 (FIG. 1A). The outer circle of magnets 28 are configured to correspond to the actual maximum safe speed rating of the rotor 20.
When this rotor 20 is placed in operation in a new centrifuge which is equipped with dual sensors 32 and 34, the outer sensor 32 detects that a second circle of magnets are present indicating that the rotor in use is not a prior art rotor. Thereafter, the sensor 34 closest to the axis detects the speed at which the rotor 20 is spinning as represented by the timing of the magnetic pulses from magnets 30. The sensor 32 detects the actual speed rating code of the rotor 20.
When a prior art rotor designed for 100,000 rpm or less (rotor 10 in FIG. 1A) is used in the new centrifuge, since there is only one circle of magnets, i.e. magnets 14 in FIG. 1A, no signal will be detected by the outer sensor 32. The centrifuge will set the maximum permitted speed according to the rotor speed code received from the inner sensor 34. On the other hand, when a rotor 20 rated for more than 100,000 rpm is used in the new centrifuge, both sensors 32 and 34 will receive signals and the centrifuge will set the maximum permitted speed according to the rotor speed code received by the outer sensor 32.
The situation when the rotor 20 is used in the prior art centrifuge is now considered. When the rotor 20 is placed in operation in a prior art centrifuge, which operates up to 100,000 rpm, and which is equipped with one sensor 16 (see FIG. 1A), the sensor 16 will read from the inner circle of magnets 34 the rotor speed code (100,000 rpm) and the actual rotation speed. Since the prior art centrifuge has only one sensor 16 (FIG. 1A) and the rotor speed code represented by the inner circle of magnets 30 on the rotor 20 is 100,000 rpm, the prior art centrifuge will allow the rotor 20 to spin to at most 100,000 rpm. The operation of prior art rotors in the prior art centrifuge will depend on the actual maximum speed rating coded on the rotors.
The centrifuge controls are summarized in FIGS. 5 and 6 for rotor operations in the new centrifuge and prior art centrifuge.
In summary, with the new two-sensor system, all low speed series (less than 100,000 rpm) rotors can be used in both the prior art and new centrifuges without reduction in performance. Similarly, all high speed series (greater than 100,000 rpm) rotors can be used in both the prior art and new centrifuges either at the actual maximum permitted speed of the rotor (when operated in a new centrifuge) or at the maximum speed (i.e. 100,000rpm) rating of the centrifuge (when operated in a prior art centrifuge). Thus the rotor can be operated at the highest speed that the rotor or centrifuge can bear thus obtaining the highest centrifuge field possible.
While the present invention has been described in reference to two circles of magnets on the rotor, by changing the radial distance of the sensors and magnets, and/or the number of sensors in connection with a corresponding number of circles of magnets, an unlimited number of rotor speed codes could be developed for use on rotors that are compatible for use in different speed centrifuges.
While the above described embodiment uses magnetic coding elements, the practice of the present invention is not limited to use with such elements. The invention could, for example, be practiced with optically readable coding elements and an optical detector. In such an embodiment, the coding array would include a circular track having coding elements that can be distinguished into one or two types on the basis of whether their reflectivity is greater or less than that of the part of the track that is located between the coding elements. Because of the tendency of the output of such an array to be affected by dirt and scratches, however, such embodiments are not preferred embodiments of the present invention.
While the invention has been described with respect to the preferred embodiment in accordance therewith, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiments, but only by the scope of the appended claims.

I know that some people found that the mysticism in the latter section of the novel took away from the book. I disagree. I found that it fit in well with the story and helped flesh out some of the messages the author was trying to get across. Some of the imagery in this novel is absolutely breathtaking. I have never been so utterly moved and transfixed by a novel as I have by this one. It challenged my perceptions and it made me a different person when I was finished it.
The book is quite long, and it can be slow in a few spots. I found that I had to read it twice. I admit I did hate Joe the first time I read the novel; I really only began to understand him the second time I read the book. This is a complex, multi-layered work that speaks to a wide range of issues: child abuse, spirituality, community, and culture.
I highly recommend this novel to everyone. You may not like it or agree with it, but you will be impacted by it. It still haunts me today.
These three become involved with each other in a dance of death and destruction and a battle for redemption of the human spirit. They make up the family of man or the bone people, brittle ungiving beings who are attempting to fight the isolation of their souls and find fulfillment in involving themselves with each other. These three are represented by a woman Keri the artist, a man Joe the lost warrior and the child, Simon the hope for the future. Can they join together and heal each other or will they work to cause each other's destruction. That is the question of the Bone People.
Keri Hulme's has a gift with words. Her stream of consciousness writing is beautiful and compelling. Despite the beauty of her words, the story is harrowing and heart breaking. We so often hurt those who we love most. The assault on young Simon is a violence both verbal and brutally physical. Are the young resilient in nature or are they brittle and easily broken? Is the child truly the savior of the man? These are questions which Hulme's seems to ask.
Throughout the book the theme of family is recurrent. What comprises a family and what obligations do family members have to each other. The family is a bright promise kept , a joining of human lives and spirits. The members of the bone people are drawn to their own isolation. They have found diverse methods of self destruction and use them skillfully. The reader journeys through the book simultaneously loving and hating the members of this strange family.
I cannot help but recommend this book, but with the precaution that it is quite difficult reading, both in plot and style.
For me, The Bone People is a meditation about the destructive effects of closing oneself to others, of retreating and withdrawing so far into oneself that one is no longer capable of real communication and communion with others.
Each of the three protagonists, because of excessive pain, pain that goes beyond any words, has built and retreated into what he or she hopes will be a protective shell but finds instead a nightmare world, one that leads each to the very brink of death.
I have heard some people say they believe the ending to be trite or "tacked on." I found the ending absolutely perfect, and given each character's "trial by fire," I don't know how Hulme could have written the ending any differently and still maintained the integrity of her book.
I am sure there are many Maori legends, myths and references in The Bone People that I missed as I know little about this fascinating culture. But do not let a lack of Maori knowledge stop you from reading this superb book. It is, above all else, a wonderfully insightful character study that is rich, complex and filled with love and pain beyond measure.Read more ›
At its heart, The Bone People is a romance but it is also a story that takes a look at the dark and serious side of life as well, especially child abuse. No one should be put off by its sometimes depressing subject matter, though. The Bone People is a book that, surprisingly and wonderfully, always manages to celebrate life in all of its complexity. In fact, much of it is lyrically beautiful despite the darkness of some of its themes.
The Bone People is extraordinarily well-written (enough so to garner Hulme a Booker Prize). This is a book with a style and voice all its own, something highly unusual in a first novel. But, unlike some recent novels, The Bone People is never a case of style-over-substance; Hulme weaves her magic with both her engrossing story and her unique, almost stream-of-consciousness style. There are a lot of shifts in time and perspective in this novel but they are always smooth and perfectly placed. Nothing about The Bone People seems jarring or out-of-place. Hulme's prose is almost musical: andante, adagio, allegro, and we find ourselves reading to the cadence she sets.
The Bone People has an extraordinary and wonderful sense of place. Part of this is inherent in the New Zealand setting and the Maori words that decorate the text. The beach scenes are especially well-written and we can really smell the sea and feel the warmth of the sand between our toes.
A few things about The Bone People might seem disjointed at first.Read more ›

It was a bit clunky and some of the acting was not star quality, but the story was entertaining and watching the trains running here locally was fun. I especially enjoyed the camera work done at the model railroad. It showed off the club layout very well. I am quite familiar with this layout which is over 4,200 square feet and was interested in how they would portray it in what I presume was to be a smaller space. They did a fine job.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys railroading, either the 1:1 prototype or the models. Kids will especially like it because kids are the lead characters.
The seller shipped right away and I had no problems with the video.
As other reviewers have noted, the best parts of this movie are the gorgeous shots of railroading: HO, live steam, and 1:1 i.e. the Real Thing. Trainiacs (and you know who you are!) should probably just go ahead and add a star for that alone! It is the acting and perhaps the writing and directing that is not quite up to snuff IMHO.
To begin with, there seems to be a real disconnect between various parts of the movie. The allegedly humorous, Macgyver-ed up, and somewhat dumbed-down kid's antics don't really fit too well with the drama and high tension of the adult antics. Whether out of a desire not to scare kid viewers or the kid actors themselves, special effort appears to have been made to drain all but the very last kid scenes of any sense of tension or danger, which thoroughly un-suspends disbelief. As long as the kids aren't worried about being trapped on a runaway train, why should the viewer be?
Second, the adult acting is something of a mismatch as well. The villain is portrayed as such a one-note force of evil that his final change of heart, motivated by his to this point never expressed love for his son, doesn't ring true. In contrast the Grandfather is portrayed as such an insubordinate old cuss that even a non-evil-incarnate new boss might have been compelled to fire him, and his response to being fired is so selfish and self-centered as to make him largely to blame for provoking the events of the ensuing near tragedy.Read more ›
It's a good old-fashion story with a "superhero grandpa." I'd like
to seem more adventures with grandpa as the star and hero, neat idea.
My grandchildren are the right age for this kind of wholesome fun:

Jeremiah Wilson is truly the Train Master of Williamette Western Railroad. He lives, breaths and eats railroad. When Brett Banner, the heir to New York Eastern, talks his dad into purchasing Williamette Western, there is immediately a clash between himself and Jeremiah. Jeremiah is fired by Brett two years from retirement and turns into an angry, depressed grandfather. When Brett's nine-year-old son, Justin, realizes Jeremiah's grandson, Thomas, can drive a locomotive, he kidnaps and holds Thomas' favorite dinosaur for ransom. Justin, Thomas and three other children board an old engine in for repairs and accidentally turn it into a runaway engine causing a chain reaction of events.
Dove Worldview:
Jeremiah Wilson is the "Train master" of Willamette Western Railroad In Willamette, Oregon. The New York Eastern Railroad and Brett Banner make a deal to buy the WWRR. Brett assures the owner he will not let any employees go and will treat them fairly. With this new transaction the two men's families become intertwined because of the railroad.
Brett and his son, Justin, move to Willamette with a very arrogant and superior attitude. Justin must attend the same school as Jeremiah's grandchildren, Sara and Thomas. Together the three children get into some serious trouble that forces Brett and Jeremiah to work together to save the kids.Read more ›
