This invention pertains to centrifugal impact rock crushers and, more particularly, to an improved pocketed impeller blade or ejector for the turntables of such crushers and a method for retaining rock fines in the impeller pockets.
A centrifugal impact rock crusher is a device that accepts large size rocks, for example rocks approximately 2-5 inches in diameter, and breaks them apart into small, pieces, such as pieces approximately 1 inch or less in diameter. In operation, large rocks are fed downwardly through a hopper and feed tube and onto a feed cone at the center of an impeller turntable. A series of spaced impeller blades or members are positioned along the periphery of the turntable just off the feed cone. After landing on the feed cone, the rocks are deflected radially outwardly off of the feed cone and into the path of the rotating impellers. The impellers catch the rocks and throw them with tremendous centrifugal force radially outwardly and violently against fixed anvils. The turntable is positioned inside a large cylindrical housing that has a ring of anvils fixedly mounted along the inside of the housing wall in vertical alignment with the impellers. When the rocks strike the anvils, they crack under their own momentum into relatively uniform, often cubical, pieces and freely fall down onto a conveyor or other suitable output device, such as a receptacle.
The impeller blades of prior art rock crushers are generally wedge-shaped rectangular blocks that are mounted to the turntable with their narrow wedge ends adjacent or even partially overlapping the feed cone and their wide ends at the outer edge of the turntable. The purpose of the impellers is not to break apart the rocks, but to catch or grab the rocks and throw them outwardly against the anvils, which are fixedly mounted along the circumferential wall surrounding the turntable. While the anvils are designed to withstand tremendous impact forces, the impellers are mainly designed to withstand abrasion forces associated with slinging of the rocks outwardly against the anvils. Abrasion is caused not only by the rocks themselves, but also by the "fines" associated with the rocks. Fines includes dust and sand particles, dirt and mud, smaller rock fragments all of which may be carried by the large rock pieces into the rock crushing device.
It has been proposed to reduce wear on the impellers by creating a pocket within the impact or wear surface of the impeller. With pocketed impellers, fines collect in the pocket and thereby create a renewable wear surface of fines that contacts the rocks. As the rocks are slung by the impellers, the rocks sweep away a portion of the fines from the pocket. However, additional fines carried by the rocks subsequently refill the pocket. Canica-Jaques of Vancouver, Wash., U.S.A., for example, makes a rock crusher impeller with two radially adjacent pockets in the impeller wear surface. This type of rock crusher impeller, however, is limited in the size and type of rock that it can crush--rocks no larger than about 21/2 inches in diameter and relatively soft rock, such as limestone, cement, sulfur, etc. are best suited for crushing using the Canica-Jaques pocketed impellers. The Canica-Jaques'impellers also require rock material with a high fines content in order to replace the fines swept out of the pockets by the rocks, and with high moisture content in order to help hold the fines in the pockets.
However, prior art pocketed impellers have not been found to work satisfactorily with certain types of rock, namely, large, relatively hard and dry rock material. The present invention is designed to address these limitations of prior art centrifugal impact rock crusher impellers.
A rock crusher and an improved pocketed impeller for a rock crusher are provided which include, briefly, a rotatable turntable, a series of impellers mounted for rotation on the turntable, a ring of stationary anvils positioned around and radially outwardly of the impellers. The improved impeller is formed with a pocket in a forwardly facing wear surface which engages and propels the rocks. The pocket is formed to have an enhanced ability to trap and retain rock fines in the pocket. More particularly, the pocket includes a radially outermost wall that is inwardly sloped or tilted when the impeller is attached to the rock crusher turntable. This inward tilt or negative slope traps rock fines against being swept from the pocket under centrifugal forces. Moreover, the incoming rocks tend to pack the fines trapped in the pocket.
The invention also includes the method of trapping fines in a pocketed impeller which is comprised of the step of securing the impeller to the rock crusher turntable with a radially outermost wall of a fines-trapping pocket oriented to be radially inwardly sloped.
These and other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the claims, which are all incorporated herein as part of the disclosure of the invention.

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the described embodiments are not intended to limit the invention specifically to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
A rock crusher, generally designated 10, is shown schematically in FIG. 1 and includes a cylindrical housing 12 with an open bottom 14 and a top that is closed by a feed device 16 and an annular lid 18. Feed device 16 includes a hopper 20 and a feed tube 22 that are centrally positioned of lid 18. As shown in FIG. 1, hopper 20 and feed tube 22 introduce large size rocks 21, or other material to be crushed, into the interior chamber 24 formed by cylindrical housing 12.
At the center of interior chamber 24 is a round turntable 26, which is rotatably supported by a bearing assembly 28. Turntable 26 is positioned directly below feed tube 22 and in position to receive rocks 21 from the feed tube. A suitable drive means 30, such as a motor and pulley assembly, rotates turntable 26 at a desired RPM, for example, 1000 to 2000 RPM.
A series of impeller blades or ejectors 34 are mounted in spaced relationship about the outed periphery of the turntable. The design of impeller blades 34 comprise an important aspect of the present invention and is discussed in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3-10.
A ring of anvils 40 (only two anvils shown in FIG. 1) surround turntable 26 and are vertically aligned with impellers 34. Anvils 40 are mounted to brackets 42, which in turn secure the anvils to the side wall of housing 12. The operation of rock crusher 10 is discussed in more detail with reference to FIG. 10.
Referring to FIG. 2, five impellers 34 are mounted to turntable 26. Impellers 34 are equally spaced and are mounted at the periphery of turntable 26 at the edge of a feed cone 46. Feed cone 46 forms the center region of turntable 26 and is formed as a slightly raised conical member. The slope of conical feed cone 46 causes rocks to be deflected outwardly into the path of travel of impellers 34 upon dropping of rocks 21 onto the turntable. Feed cone 46 may or may not be rotated with turntable 26.
It can also be seen in FIG. 2 that anvils 40 are angled to one side. While only a pair of anvils 40 are shown on each side of housing 12, anvils 40 comprise a ring of anvils that surround turntable 26, as best seen in FIG. 10. Turntable 26 is shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 10 as rotating in a counterclockwise direction, as indicated by arrow 27, which moves the impellers on an arcuate path, causing the rocks to be propelled by the impellers with a counterclockwise component of travel. Anvils 40 are angled so as to directly face the outwardly traveling rocks. The angle of the anvils is shown and discussed in more detail with reference to FIG. 10.
FIG. 3 shows the improved design of an impeller 34 of the present invention. Impeller 34 is generally a wedge-shaped and rectangular member having a narrow end 48 and a wide end 50. The back side 52 of impeller 34 is mounted to a bracket, discussed later, which in turn secures the impeller to turntable 26. The front or forwardly facing wear face 54 is the side of impeller 34 that contacts the rocks. A curved, somewhat C-shaped pocket 56 is formed in front side 54.
The present invention resides in the improved design of pocket 56. Accordingly the material of which impeller 34 is made can be any conventional high strength, impact resistant material commonly used for rock crusher impellers, most commonly, high-impact, abrasion-resistant, cast white iron.
FIGS. 4-6 show the mounting brackets, generally designated 62, that secure impellers 34 to turntable 26. Each mounting bracket 62 includes an upright section 64, a large, outer gusset 66, and a small, inner gusset 68. Each mounting bracket 62 also includes a central opening 70 (FIG. 6) in upright section 64, which opening is sized to closely receive a hub extension 72 of impeller 34. Hub extension 72 includes an internally threaded passageway 74, which threadably receives a headed bolt 76 to secure impeller 34 to bracket 62. A spacer washer 78 fits around hub extension 72 and a larger mounting washer 80 is positioned between bolt 76 and bracket 62. A compressible helicoil 82 screws into the cast threads of passageway 74 to provide a more uniform threaded fit with the machined threads of bolt 76. It should be noted that the above-described mounting arrangement for each impeller is exemplary and that other suitable designs should be apparent to those skilled in the art, for example, double helicoil systems and transverse pin-based systems.
FIG. 7 illustrates the angle of attack of wear surface 54, represented by the included angle arrow 90, of an impeller 34. Angle of attack 90 is the angle between a radial line 92 and the front side 54 of impeller 34. Radial line 92 represents a radial line of turntable 26, extending from the center of the turntable to the turntable's outer edge 94. Each impeller of turntable 26 has an identical angle of attack. As will be seen by comparison to the prior art impeller of FIG. 8, it is an important feature of the impeller of the present invention that it has an increased angle of attack 90. Impeller 34 is designed with a wedge shape that is more severe than prior art impellers. Wide end 50 of impeller 34 is much wider or deeper than prior art impellers. This creates a steeper angle for front side 54, i.e., a greater angle of attack 90, which exposes pocket 56 more to oncoming rocks. Compare impeller 34 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 with a prior art impeller design shown in FIG. 8, and it will be seen that the angle of attack 90 is approximately twice the angle of attack 104 for the prior art impeller.
FIG. 8 shows a prior art impeller 100 mounted on turntable 26. Impeller 100 has a narrow, wide end 102 that is less than wide end 50 of impeller 34. Consequently, the angle of attack, included between radius 92 and wear surface 117 and shown by arrow 104, of prior art impeller 100, is significantly shallower than angle of attack 90 of impeller 34.
Impeller 34 is designed to be mounted on turntable 26 in the same orientation of back surface 52 as is back surface 106 of prior art impeller 100. Thus, the increased angle of attack 90 is preferably achieved. It will be understood that impeller 34 also could be provided with an increased angle of attack 90 by using a wedge shaped mounting washer (not shown). It is desirable, however, to employ the existing fixed mounting brackets 62 on rock crushers without having to use special washers or having to change the angle at which mounting brackets 62 are mounted to turntable 26. Both alternatives, however, are deemed to be broadly within the scope of the present invention.
At the present time, using pocket configuration 56, an angle of attack 90 of about 8 degrees has been found to be highly effective in retaining fines in pocket 56. Prior art impeller 100, for example, has an angle of attack 104 of 4 degrees. As angle 90 is increased abrasion will increase, but greater angles are possible using pocket configuration 56. Conversely, lesser angles of attack 90 are possible, but there is some greater tendency to lose fines out of pocket 56, which tendency can be resisted to some degree by shaping the pocket with an overhanging lip, which is described in more detail below.
FIG. 7 also illustrates the curved, C-shape of pocket 56 of the impeller of the present invention. Pocket 56 extends from a shallow end proximate end 48 of the impeller to a deepest end proximate end wall 59 and forms a transversely extending lip 111 defining the radially outermost edge of pocket 56. One advantage of a pocket which gradually increases in depth from the radially inner end toward the radially outer end is that rocks will impact the heel or innermost portion of the pocket at an oblique angle, causing less abrasion. Pocket 56 also is shaped with inner region 57 defined by concaved end wall 59 which extends radially outwardly beyond an imaginary line 113 that runs perpendicular to radial plane 92 and intersects the leading edge of lip 111. In operation, fines 116 build up in pocket 56 as rocks are impacted and thrown outwardly by the impeller. The negative or radially outwardly sloping pocket surface or end wall 59 below lip 111 helps trap fine 116 within the inner portion or region 57 of pocket 56. Such fines have to move against centrifugal forces on them, as well as against incoming rock and new fines in order to get around lip 111, which only happens to a limited extent. Thus, a collection of fines 116 always remains within pocket 56, which significantly improves the wear or abrasion resistance of impeller 34. As will be seen, the greater angle of attack 90 works in combination with the shape of pockets 56 to negatively or radially inwardly incline pocket surface 59 and enhance the effectiveness of lip 111 in retaining fines 116.
FIG. 8 illustrates the pocket design of prior art impeller 100. Impeller 100 includes a pair of pockets 110, 112 that are squared-off, as compared to the inwardly curved shape of pocket 56 of impeller 34. Imaginary lines 115, 115', like imaginary line 113, extend perpendicular to radial plane 92 and intersect the bottom edges of pockets 110, 112. The squared-off design and perpendicular orientation of pockets 110, 112 allows a certain amount of fines carried by rocks to build up within the pockets, as shown by broken lines 114, which indicates the amount of fines in the pockets. However, the positive or forward tilt of front walls 119, 119' of the pockets results in the escape of a significant amount of fines 114, which are simply forced by centrifugal forces and incoming rocks and fines over outer edges 117, 117' of pockets 110, 112. The combination of a small angle of attack 104 and the shape of pockets 110 and 112 makes it very unreliable as to whether or not fines will remain in the impeller pockets. The squared-off design of pockets 110, 112, therefore, works best for rock material having a high content of fines and moisture. Due to the forward or outward slope of walls 119, 119' only a small quantity of fines 114 normally can build up within the pockets and sometimes the pocket are swept clean. A substantial quantity of fines constantly escapes from pockets 110, 112, which requires the rocks to carry with them enough fines to replace the escaping fines and thereby maintain sufficient quantity of fines within the pockets to minimize wear on the impeller blade. Fines with high moisture content have greater capacity to stay within the pockets and, thus, maintain the wear resistant surface provided by the fines.
FIG. 9 illustrates the path of a rock 120 relative to an impeller 34, which is shown by arrow 126. As the rock is moving off of the feed cone of the turntable and into the path of impeller 34, it is traveling in the direction indicated by arrow 122, which approximates a radial path from the turntable. As the rock moves into the path of the impellers (which in FIGS. 7-9 are shown rotating in a clockwise direction), the rock engages the impellers and are propelled clockwise by the impeller. As the rock moves outward toward pocket 56, the rock starts to move at least partially into the pocket, wherein the rock helps to pack the fines into the base of the pocket under lip 111. It is within the pocket region that the rock begins to rapidly accelerate. Normally, the impact of the rock with the impeller and its rapid change of direction and acceleration increases wear on the impeller surface. However, provision of a pocket of fines 116 at this point creates a renewable wear surface that isolates the impeller from abrasion. Radially outwardly or beyond the pocket region, the rock is contacted by a convex surface 121. Surface 121 causes rock 120 to continue to rapidly pick up speed, causing the impeller to act like a sling shot, hurling the rock outwardly off of the impeller in the direction of arrow 126.
Since the fines 116 within pocket region 57 are impacted by oncoming rock 120 and are also trapped by lip 111, rock 120 tends to compact the fines into the pocket. This results in the escape of fewer fines back into the stream of moving rocks. Consequently, impeller 34 works quite well with rocks having dry fine material, rocks having a minimal amount of fines and larger and harder rocks, than does prior art impeller 100.
The fines 116 provide a wear surface on the front side 54 of impeller 34 at the point where the rocks begin to rapidly pick up speed. The outer layer of fines are generally swept away with oncoming rocks, but subsequent fines land in the pocket and replace the escaping fines, thereby maintaining an evenly distributed wear surface of fines within the pocket. The fines deep within the inner portion 57 of pocket 56 remain trapped therein, thus ensuring a pocket of fines for engaging oncoming rocks.
As best may be seen in FIGS. 3 and 9, impeller 34 of the present invention further preferably has inwardly converging side walls, flanges or rails 123, 123' which extend radially along opposite sides of wear surfaces 54 pockets 56 and convex wear surface 121. Rails 123, 123' project in a circumferential direction and tend to catch rocks 120 and keep them from bouncing upwardly off the turntable, as well as converging or collecting the rocks and fines toward pocket 56. Such rails are broadly known in the prior art, as seen in FIG. 8, but in impeller 34 of the present invention side flanges or rails 123, 123' are formed with a greater depth and are formed to converge toward pocket 56.
As also may be seen in FIG. 3, impeller 34 may optionally be formed with a relieved or upwardly sloped side 125 proximate small end 48. This configuration allows inner small diameter end 48 of the impeller to be placed over the outer edge 127 of feed cone 46. Such a construction is optional, but in some centrifugal rock crushers feed cone 46 is held on turntable 26 by the inner ends 48 of impellers 34, for example, as shown in FIG. 10. Sloped or notched wall 125 allows the impellers to overlap the edge of the feed cone.
FIG. 10 illustrates operation of the rock crusher assembly. Rocks 120 land on feed cone 46 of turntable 26 and move radially outwardly, as indicated by arrows 122, into the path of rotating impellers 34. As rocks 120 reach the pocket regions 56 of impellers 34, they rapidly pick up speed and are propelled in a tangential direction, as indicated by arrows 124.
Anvils 40 are lined up so that they are substantially normal to direction of travel 124 of the oncoming rocks in order to create a head-on impact. Upon impacting the anvils, the rocks break apart into a multiplicity of small pieces, as indicated by arrows 130.
While the present invention has been described in connection with a process for crushing "rocks," the present invention is applicable to centrifugal crushing materials such as concrete, cement clinkers, coal, sulfur, soda ash, salt, asphalt, precious metal ores, as well as a wide range of rock aggregate. Consequently, the present invention is not meant to be limited to rocks and where the term "rocks" appears in the claims it is meant to cover other types of material suitable for crushing or breaking up. Also, in the claims the term "fines" is meant to cover particulate material that is significantly smaller than the material to be crushed or broken apart, and which particulate material is capable of being packed within the impeller pocket described herein.
The method of the present invention provides a way of retaining rock fines in the pocket of a pocket rock crusher impeller. In the present method a radially outermost wall 59 of the impeller pocket is oriented to tilt or slope radially inwardly to trap rock fine 116 against ejection from the pocket. Impeller 34 is secured in the present method to the rock crusher turntable within wall 59 oriented in a slightly inwardly tilted orientation. This can be accomplished by forming pocket 56 with a wall that will be inwardly sloped when mounted to a standard turntable, or by providing a mounting structure which orients wall 59 in an inwardly tilted orientation by increasing the angle of attack 90, or both.
The present method insures that centrifugal force on the fines tends to pack them in pocket 56, and that incoming rock further resists fines escape from the pocket. This allows harder rock and rock with fewer fines to be crushed using pocketed impellers, and allows the pocketed impellers to have a longer wear life as a result of using the fines as a replaceable wear surface.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the Claims appended hereto when read and interpreted according to accepted legal principles such as the doctrine of equivalents and reversal of parts.

CHICAGO Scientists have developed a polyurethane coating that heals its own scratches when exposed to sunlight, offering the promise of scratch-free cars and other products, researchers said on Thursday.
"We developed a polymeric material that is able to repair itself by exposure to the sun," said Marek Urban of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, whose study appears in the journal Science.
"In essence, you create a scratch and that scratch will disappear upon exposure to the sun," Urban said in an interview on the Science website.
The self-healing coating uses chitosan, a substance found in the shells of crabs and shrimp. This is incorporated into traditional polymer materials, such as those used in coatings on cars to protect paint.
When a scratch damages the chemical structure, the chitosan responds to ultraviolet light by forming chemical chains that begin bonding with other materials in the substance, eventually smoothing the scratch. The process can take less than an hour.
Urban said the new coating uses readily available materials, offering an advantage over other self-repairing coatings, which he said were "fairly elaborate and economically unfeasible."
The team tested the compound's properties using a razor-blade-thin scratch. "We haven't done any of the tests to show how wide it can be," Urban said in a telephone interview.
He said the polymer can only repair itself in the same spot once, and would not work after repeated scratches.
"Obviously, this is one of the drawbacks," he said, adding that the chances are low of having two scratches in exactly the same spot.
Howell Edwards, who leads the chemical and forensic sciences division of the University of Bradford in Britain, said the findings were novel.
"Clearly, there are future applications of this work in the repair of automotive components, which extensively use polyurethane polymers, that have suffered minor damage," Edwards said in a statement.
Urban said the coating could be used in packaging or furniture or anything that requires a high-performance type of coating.
"You can dream up anything you desire," he said.
Urban said his team has patents pending on the material and is considering commercialization.

Peanuts, Popcorn and . . . Soccer?
Published: January 5, 2002
To the Editor:
It should be noted that soccer (Editorial Observer, Dec. 31) is probably the only human endeavor in which people seek to get hit on the head. One need not be a brain surgeon to understand why this sport does not appeal to most Americans.

Like many of Gibson's stories, this is hardly science fiction-- in fact, it's more purely noir than many other more noir-y looking films that come to mind. As such, it's about money, love, betrayal, women, memory, machismo--that sort of stuff. Having read the story after seeing the film, I'd almost say the movie was better, while still being true to Gibson's spirit: less of the narrator's whiny voice, more Fox; more mystery, less pseudo-futuristic-cosmopolitanism. And a much better finish.
The best part is really the much-maligned last quarter, which in its memory flashbacks leads you to discover for yourself who betrayed whom and why. The conclusion, if you care about these sorts of issues at all, is really quite sad and moving. Not knowing when it would end, I jumped up close to the TV to hear Argento's reply to Dafoe's last line. To end there shows that these guys knew what they were doing.
The plot is that Walken and Dafoe are going to make an Asian scientist fall in love with a call girl they've just met, Sandy. Sandy will bewitch the scientist and he will go wherever she wants him to go. Industrialists will pay Walken and Dafoe big money for the con. They in turn will pay Sandy a million dollars as her share. The question becomes though who is conning whom. While Dafoe is busy falling in love with Sandy, he doesn't follow through on tracing the various leads about her which come into his hands. One irony I couldn't get over was Dafoe being stunned by someone else's beauty, when, in his prime, he had to have been one of the most beautiful people on the planet.Read more ›
First of all, I think the film did a pretty good job of realizing the story. The characterization, dialogue, plot, themes and tone were pretty well represented for me. The tricky thing here is that the story is about 15 pages long and takes place entirely in a Tokyo Capsule Hotel, with the protagonist in a state of utter despair and ennui as he starts piecing together what went wrong through a series of flashbacks, all the while knowing that his time left is slipping away. Granted, that's not really going to flesh out a 90 minute feature, so I was willing to accept the way it's presented. Sometimes you have to make concessions when a book is filmed, and overall I don't think any of this compromised the integrity.
The acting was great, and they had some great dialogue to work with. Walken and Dafoe are as superb as you'd expect. One of the film's best strengths is the noiry con-man banter between the two. Honestly I didn't know much about Asia Argento (I kind of assumed she was Dario's daughter, and cynically thought, "great, nepotism from a B-movie zombie guy") but she really held her own with these two heavy-weights, really well for a young lady whose first language is not English. I didn't need any convincing that she could seduce anyone certainly, and it doesn't hurt that she's half naked a lot of the time. Not a fan of that tattoo though, too tacky for me.
The plot might be a bit inaccessible for some.Read more ›

ALBUQUERQUE, NM—The troubled Anasazi high-rise building in Downtown Albuquerque is out of bankruptcy and has a new developer.
Dayna Gardner, director of communications for Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry, told Albuquerque Business First that the property emerged from bankruptcy earlier this month, and the new developer is PEM Real Estate Group of Scottsdale, AR. The publication also obtained a copy of the quitclaim deed detailing the transfer of the real estate to PEM from Anasazi Downtown LLC.
"It's out of bankruptcy and [PEM] will be remodeling it and putting a new skin on the building," Gardner said.
She added that the development will begin with a focus on first floor retail spaces and second floor parking.

Recently stayed here for a few nights and did not much like this hotel at all. The room was tiny and seemed rather dingy to us. Air conditioner did not cool the room down nearly enough which forced us to leave the windows open at night. As our room looked down on the bar and restaurant, it was pretty noisy at night. Also, we were practically eaten alive by the mosquitos which joined us in our room. There were no electrical outlets by the beds, and the lighting in the room was awful. The staff was not particularly helpful, and just shrugged off our concerns about the stuffiness of the room. The location was okay, but the hotel just didn't have any charm. Also, the restaurant was very overpriced especially considering all the wonderful choices in restaurants just a few minutes away. Would not recommend this place.

Thanks Shai! From: Shai Erera [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 12:17 PM To: email@example.com Subject: Re: Test failure in modules/benchmark/: byTask.TestPerfTasksLogic Found the problem, though I don't understand why didn't it always (!!!) fail. The problem is that DocMaker.setConfig initializes the ContentSource, however it doesn't close it first if its current instance is not null. How can this happen? If your .alg has a resetInputs (and such) tasks, then DocMaker.resetInputs is called, which calls DocMaker.setConfig ... Like I wrote, I have no idea why doesn't it always fail. In fact, here's a short test that reproduces it, and always fails irregardless of seeds: public void testDocMakerLeak() throws Exception { Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty("content.source", "org.apache.lucene.benchmark.byTask.feeds.LineDocSource"); props.setProperty("docs.file", getReuters20LinesFile()); props.setProperty("content.source.forever", "false"); PerfRunData runData = new PerfRunData(new Config(props)); // this causes the leak ! ResetInputsTask reset = new ResetInputsTask(runData); reset.doLogic(); reset.close(); runData.close(); } But now Robert tells me that it passes for him, which leaves me baffled again .. Anyway, if you add this to DocMaker.setConfig (inside the first try), it fixes the bug (and there's definitely a bug): if (source != null) { source.close(); } I will fix it on both trunk and 3x (where the bug exists too !) and add the above test to TestDocMaker.

There have been multiple blog posts written over the years on how to use Google Analytics to identify and fix 404 Error Pages.
I have even written one myself and it's a common slide in many of my talks. But with the newest features that are available within Google Analytics, these blog posts are due an update.
Custom Variables vs Events
The first question is whether to capture details of the 404 Error Page within page level customisations or as an event.
My approach is to capture more information about the page using page level customisation. Since viewing a 404 Error Page is not an event, it should not be treated as one.
Google Analytics tracking
Step one in the GA tracking for Error Pages is to rename the page name to /error-page/404-error. This means all views of this page are grouped together, making them easier to identify and analysis becomes significantly easier.
There are two key pieces of information to capture on each 404 Error Page. The first is the URL of the page and the second is the referrer to the page.
Both are available as default Variables within GTM (Google Tag Manager) and so no developer support is required to capture them. The L3 Analytics approach is to capture the Page URL as a Content Grouping and the Referrer as either a Content Grouping or a Hit scoped Custom Dimension.
Previously I would have stopped at that tracking, but an Error Page view should now also be captured as a Custom Metric. It will provide an easy way to see the total number of Error Page views for the website or broken down by any session/user dimension.
Google Analytics configuration
Previously, we always recommended creating a Goal for View Error Page. It is useful to know if visitors are seeing 404 Error Pages and if this metric ever exceeds a certain value (e.g. 2%) for this to trigger an immediate action.
This should be set up as a Custom Alert within Google Analytics to notify you when visitors are experiencing an excessive number of 404 Error Pages.
To investigate the cause of 404 Error Pages, a Custom Report is required. It's fairly simple, the report is filtered to only include data from 404 Error Pages and the dimensions are the Page URL and the Referrer.
The metrics in this example are Pageviews and Unique Pageviews (basically error counts) although you can now use the Custom Metric of Error Page Views.
There are two tabs within this Custom Report with the dimensions simply reversed in the second tab. When the report is run, it displays URLs which trigger the 404 Error Page, allowing you to click through to see the referrer to this page.
Switching to the second tab flips these two dimensions, displaying the referrers that trigger 404 Errors and allowing you to click through to view the URLs of the error pages. While this doesn't solve everything, it allows you to identify the source of 404 Error Pages and where they are sending traffic to in error.
You could search the page source for these URLs or it might be obvious from their structure why there is a problem.
There was one occasion on which we really had to dig deep into the data to identify the cause of a 404 Error Page; have a look at our real-life example here.

Skip to comments.Blogger can't get his facts straight, so I yanked his misleading headline and zotted his sorry rump
Posted on 12/18/2011 1:55:50 PM PST by conservativeBCEdited on 12/18/2011 2:09:21 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Did Palin just call Newt and Mitt RINOs? It sure sounds like it.
I predicted a month back that Palin would come out in support of Bachmann before the Iowa caucus.
In Iowa, Bachmann and Santorum will do better than some RINO pundits predict...not gonna endorse until I'm enthused, but I'm not enthused enough yet with the field
Note: I tried to post the video, but it would not show up? I would rather make a posting that you could read from here in it's entirety, as not to be accused of blog pimping.
I tried several different types of codes but none of them would work on this forum.
Can you not post videos here? After I better understand how to post here I won't post another link like this.
For now if you want to watch the Palin video you will have to click this link.
[link removed by moderator]
Could be the beginning of the end for the Freddie Mac Grinch.
It's looks clear Newtus Agustus will not be getting Palin's endorsement.
Just damn!
I feel like I have a mind link with that woman with her giving a statement like that!
I hope she is right.
Just post links to the videos.
Then again, this blogger - who clearly has an agenda and who clearly launched his website and his membership at FR with one thing in mind - might be fooling you.
Not that I heard. This line is basically correct:
In Iowa, Bachmann and Santorum will do better than some RINO pundits predict..
RINO pundits, not RINO candidatees.
Don't mislead FReepers with inaccurate blog posts if you want to keep posting here.
It would not be the first time! I've been fooled a few times.
Here is the video link:
Removing your links so you don't get blog hits by misleading FReepers.
HA. ... so much for Mrs. Palin's unequaled political instincts. Bachman is a loser. She will never be president. Sarah would do the race a great disservice by endorsing Bachmann.
I would expect as much from Sarah. She is now trying to become relevant after she bowed out.
Palin didn't endorse anyone. In fact, she made it quite clear she's NOT endorsing anyone yet.
Trying to sneak one by on a Sunday afternoon? How'd that work out?
>> If you click on the link and listen to what Governor Palin has to say, you'll probably come to the same conclusion as the blogger >>
I clicked.
I listened.
I most certainly DID NOT come to that conclusion. Thanks for wasting 6 minutes of my time. She clearly did not endorse anyone, clearly said she was not enthused by any of them yet, clearly made a slam at those currently in office (Perry, Bachmann, Paul) in fact. And yet, said positive things about everyone but Huntsman at some point.
And I really like SP, but she was back on that annoying line of hers "putting government back on the side of the people" thing. How about "getting government the hell outta the way of the people?"
Sarah Palin speaks of Bachmann,Santorum,Perry quite clearly as the conservatives in the race.She is holding back on endorsing IMO because Gingrich and Romney are winning.
I disagree with you; Bachmann is not a loser...some of Palin's fans are SORE losers though.Palin apparently isn't.
She gives Ron Paul strokes and then, not naming names criticizes Perry.
BAH! What have you done for your state lately St Sarah?
What a bunch of mealy mouthed clap trap.
Getting back to the basics a RINO is a guy who runs on the Republican ticket but who was a professional politician with a different political party earlier ~ e.g. Ron Paul is a RINO. Jon Huntsman is also a RINO since you necessarily convert to Democrat theology when you take a major ambassadorial assignment from aDemocrat. And there's Perri Caliente! He's a RINO.
Newt is not now nor was he ever a RINO, nor is Mitt.
There are people out there who imagines that ALL the RINOs are Leftwingtards.
They're not.
However, the Leftwingtards are, in fact, Leftwingtards and that's what best describes them.
Crap post. Go away troll.
I wasn't trying to sneak anything by.
I said that I predicted that she would endorse Bachmann. I didn't say that she had.
What the heck are you talking about?
"Did Palin just call Newt and Mitt RINOs? It sure sounds like it.
I predicted a month back that Palin would come out in support of Bachmann before the Iowa caucus."
There is still time.
Why are you saying that I said she endorsed someone? I said I predicted that she would. And I did predict that she would.
There is absolutely nothing misleading about what I said.
"Did Palin just call Newt and Mitt RINOs? It sure sounds like it.
I predicted a month back that Palin would come out in support of Bachmann before the Iowa caucus."
There is still time.
You most certainly were and you got caught. It is a rare distinction indeed to be b-tch slapped by a moderator on your headline like that. And nothing changes the fact that you launched your blog site and joined FR for one reason: push Bachmann's candidacy.
Now that's fine and its your right - but don't expect to be taken as seriously as someone who comes for general issue debate. You are pimping, pure and simple.
And if you think Palin called Newt or Mitt RINO's you did not listen to your own link. She clearly said that MB and RS will do better in Iowa than "RINO PUNDITS" are predicting.
I think that you just don't like that she didn't include Gingrich our Romney in the conservative category.
And that is why you are claiming that my title was misleading.
Which it clearly was not.
Good — as long as people hear her not including Gingrich and Romney in the conservative category
I didn't say that she did... I said I predicted that she would.
An I dealing with third graders here?
Your credibility is shot. You may as well give up now.
*Ping* to Metmom, who loves to see a good zot. No promises Mom, but this one looks dumb enough to keep pushing.
thank you
I did not once say that she endorsed anyone...
I said that I predicted that she would
>> And that is why you are claiming that my title was misleading. Which it clearly was not.>>
It's a free country, and that means you can continue to claim that the moderator is either a liar or a flake. And you have just reaffirmed that. Your title was misleading - OR YOU ARE impaired when it comes to judgement. The moderator, not me, RULED that your header was misleading. I just happen to agree with the mod. As I suspect do most.
And nothing changes the fact that you are a one trick pony as a poster and a blogger - and nothing changes the fact that I've no respect for that. Again, your right, as it is my right not to respect it or think anything you say or post is serious.
I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, but she is not straight down the line conservative herself. I don't know if her voting record as mayor/governor would equal that of Gingrich's. So I have no real concern that she mentioned MB and RS as the most conservative. They are that, but they have major problems.
What was your original header again?
I clicked on the link, listened and came to the same conclusion as the admin mod. The blogger has it wrong.
Wednesday November 23
Sarah Palin is about to make her endorsement of Michele Bachmann, and she is going to do it in the next couple of weeks.
Dude a couple of weeks have come and gone. What is your next wild?
She also issued a slam at all current office holders in the field, which would include Perry and Bachmann.
Either way, the idea that someone could reach the conclusion of an endorsement is not even close. She clearly likes the positions of MB and RS and clearly has NOT endorsed them so she clearly sees the weaknesses of their candidacies.
Stretching RINO to encompass someone who isn't even a politician, nor a government employee, who isn't even known to have a political affiliation IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE TERM in any venue.
Sarah doesn't appear to understand Southern politics in the age before Reagan. The rest of you guys don't get a pass, and it's time she started learning the terms.
And you, who are you to challenge me?
This is EVIDENCE if anything can ever be EVIDENCE concerning use of a word that clarity pays ~ and no, she didn't attack Mitt or Newt.
Remember, Newt is the guy who kicked the Democrats out of control of the House of Representatives where they'd been unchallenged for 40 years.
She did a bit of challenging in Alaska when it came to entrenched power brokers ~ which in her case were apparently corrupt Republicans (one of whom is still a Senator, the wholly execrable Lisa Murkowski).
Now, SoConPubbie, if Sarah is going to run for public office again I want her to have full and correct command of political terminology ~ you may think it's OK for her to go out unprepared but I don't!
She also wisely admitted that endorsements have very limited impact a lot of times. Ironically, due to her unique status and the nature of this race - an endorsement from her at the right time might actually have big time impact.
(for example, an endorsement of RS now might give him much needed legitimacy, or an endorsement of Newt could give him more tea party conservative cred, etc. Not saying she would do either, just thinking out loud about how she might make a difference ironically.)
I don't totally buy our definition, but you are 100% right that it is very misused and over used and quite often abused as a personal rant.
My def would include folks like McCain and Graham and Snowe and others who use their attacks on other Republicans as a way to ingratiate themselves to the liberal media. In other words, these would be Republicans who are DEFINED by their "non" Republicanness or non conservatism. These would also be folks who have never done anything to promote the conservative or base Republican cause.
I think it's more of a mindset than any particular issue or two.
Sarah's gone dude, so is Bush......hope you get my drift.
This is all the clown does, post something designed to mislead and or be twisted.
His screen name might say conservative, but if he is, it is not reflected via the posts.
