After some useless search trying to find an SBS TO ANAGLYPH linux software, I realised that what I was looking for was simply a good video editing software under linux. So I started looking for this software, tried several onces and finally found kdenlive (thanks guys this is a really good software)
So for the interested onces here is how to create an anaglyph video from a side by side video (green-magenta in this case but other onces are exactly the same process)
First, start by installing kdenlive, but not any version. If you want to convert from sbs to anaglyph you will need the latest kdenlive version, the reason is double, first we will need the latest features and second we don't want to be annoyed with the early bugs. So i recommend to follow the "install from source" process (quite tricky but necessary):
Once you have a fresh kdenlive version, start by import your sbs video:
Then drag and drop the video on the two first video tracks:
Add a "crop" effect on both tracks and set right parameter to half your video width on the first track and do the same for the left parameter on the other track:
Then add one "levels" effect to the first track, select the green channel and set the "input black level" parameter to 1000. Add two "levels" effect to the second track one for the red channel and the other one for the blue channel, again set the "input black level" parameter to 1000 for both effects:
Finaly, right click on the first track and go to "add transition/addition", then stretch the effect to the complete track:
Here it is, SBS to anaglyph conversion in 5 steps. Now render your video (I usually render without audio and recombine audio and video using MKVmerge).
For other anaglyphs you will probably only have to play with the "levels" effects.
Enjoy ;-)

I've read no news to cause this sort of drop........certainly not Cypress !!??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Did you really think it goes up and never pulls back? Look at the run it has had... fantastic to say the least...All stocks at one point run out of buyers... ............exhaustion points
This stock has a history of unexpected pullbacks that at times can be vicious. The stock has made one helluva run so no big surprise here.
BCEI is a very nice company, good future, good management. But the stock price has been on a tear, it is now overvalued and there are tons of small cap shale companies that offer better upside for the future. Watch for news of insiders cashing-in at these high stock prices in the coming days, they would be mad not to cash in considering the big run up. Longer term the stock price will recover but in the short term the outlook looks tough.
Downgraded to hold from buy from an analyst. I'm sure that spooked a couple weak hands. Probably a little profit taking on Cypress too.
Analysts certainly know how to ruin a party.
Fundamentals and growth still the same. I'm buying more.

An efficient search algorithm for block motion estimation is proposed in this paper. By using fuzzy reasoning, the algorithm can determine the motion vectors of image blocks quickly and correctly. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than other search algorithms, such as 3SS, CS, PHODS, 4SS, BBGDS, SES, PSA, and GPS. The VLSI architecture of the algorithm has been developed, and in simulation it yields a search rate of 683 000 blocks/s with a clock rate of 66 MHz

For you Houstoners, there is a building on S Shepherd called "The Kabbalah Center" that uses a map of the 10 sefirot as it's logo. It looks like something that might exist in other cities. All the books inside are written by one man, Yehuda Berg. Is this place a genuine place to study Kabbalah? Is this man an accepted Kabbalistic scholar? Can anyone explain who this man is and what these places are?

The phrase "at forty for discernment" (wisdom) is traditionally understood to mean that a person needs to both reach the age of forty, AND complete all of the previous prerequisites (mastering Scriptures, Mishnah, Talmud, getting married, having a career, etc) before one can properly understand Kabbalah. (See the Shach, Yoreh Deah 246:6)
The Kabbalah Center is a dangerous cult, that uses some authentic Kabbalistic ideas from Rav Ashlag, just enough to impress spiritual seekers. Then, they squeeze every last dollar out of their victims, promising blessings for giving, and curses for not giving.
The Kabbalah Center.
Rather than give you my story, you can simply read these (fairly accurate, as I know first hand) and see for yourself.
Good luck.

Hello everyone, hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day.Time to refocus on BIG things as many here are getting skittish. Relax. Frantic buying in the last 90min. Institutions are buying. Everyone must have patience and you will be rewarded. FYI, I have also been buying Dollar Thrifty, BJ, Hunstsman and Blackboard. Good luck everyone.
<<Funny, since the imposter is his old sidekick, Tbrat. Makes you wonder...>>You utter moron, Linde Merde Die Turde, stop insulting tbraton who has never posted a word for months; more's the pity -- because he'd show you up for the unreliable, boastful, lying clown you are.The only thing that makes me wonder is why pathetic losers like kstacy33 take you for some infallible advisor who will lead them to riches. I call it the "Bernie Madoff syndrome."As is publically demonstrated on various Yahoo finance groups, you have been wrong more than 50% of the time in your choice of buyout targets in the first half of 2011. Since you state you never risk more than 10% of "your" capital in any one target, and since we can assume that you put an equal amount of capital into each of your choices, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that you have lost money this year. All this at a time when the "easy" M&A deals have been rolling out like clockwork -- NOVL, ACL, GXDX, BEC, MEE, NSM, ICO, ...The only thing I'm sure of is that when BIG finally announces you will immediately try to take all the credit for the deal to the accompaniment of howls of approval from that imbecilic Arsch Lecker, kstacy33. Every one of us who are in this stock have probably chosen better entry points to buy and hold than you (how do your posts of buying more at $43 & $42 strike you now?)
Funny, since the imposter is his old sidekick, Tbrat. Makes you wonder...
I know this is a Yahoo message board, but it doesn't mean it has to be inhabited by children and sociopaths.... but he can only spend so much time surfing porn on the web, so he has to show up here.... it's too bad...
What, no GPRO? Where've you been man?
He can hardly keep up with his identities, Lind. How will he ever remember his, um...no...make it your, positions.

I like this DVD concert because my daughter really enjoys watching and when she has play dates all the kids watch and start singing and dancing. The 3D effects is not as great as the theater but for the price and 4 free 3D glasses it's well worth it!
I love Hannah Montna, Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers songs on this DVD!If you love any of these artists you would like this DVD.It does have only 3 Jonas Brothers songs.
great concert iam over 50 i have seen it many times
My Dad's generation got the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin etc and I get Hannah Montanah and The Jonas Brothers. I had to watch this with my little sister and I must say it truly is one of the worst concerts I have ever witnessed. How anyone gets any joy out of watching these Disney robots dance and sing is beyond me. Oh well to each his own. 2 stars based on the actual musicians on stage that are forced to play with these 2.
I really liked the movie,some people didn't like the 3d and said it was a joke, but there was a time when Joe and Miley pointed at the camera and it looked like they were going to hit you.Even the Jonas Brothers preformed two songs When You Look Me In THe Eyes and Year 3000.
this is the greatest only because the Jonas brothers are on here and i like a couple of her songs but they take you into the year 3000

Voted Best Camp Chef's Valentine's Day DinnerWhen we asked the employees what they would like for Valentineâs Day dinner, the most requested thing was BBQ ribs, a potato of some kind, bread and another side. The vote was that the Product Engineers choice was the best dinner here at Camp Chef, so we thought we would cook it up and share it with you all. This was all made in our cast iron cookware and it cooked to perfection!
Dutch Oven Artisan Bread
I have been fascinated with artisan breads for many years. Living in a smaller town, we didnât get a bakery dedicated to these beautiful breads until about 8 years ago, but I drooled over them as I watched people eat them on television. Then when our local bakery opened, it was purported to being worked 24 hours a day because that is what is required for true artisan breads. I figured I would never be able to produce such delicacies.
Batter Buns
We have a local restaurant that is a family favorite and before you get your juicy steak, they serve homemade rolls and corn pone. These rolls are special and unique though. They are not dense and sweet like Texas Roadhouse, but flaky and light almost like a fluffy biscuit.
Two Skillet Wonders!
I have been trying a few new recipes. This one made me a bit nervous as it did not look too kid friendly, but my kids ate it! I was surprised. This is like a thicker version of taco soup. Originally, it is supposed to be eaten with the cornbread, but we ate it with Doritos. Needless to say, we had full bellies and orange fingers!
For this one, you will need 2 skillets. Or a skillet and a pie plate. This is a great Tex-Mex meal, that will stick to your ribs, but go easy on the wallet.

Over the past three months, students from Perry Central have been training during the Lights-On program and participating in Winter Meltdown running events.
By VINCE LUECKE, Editor
TELL CITY – For the second time in just more than two years, Perry County Commissioner Jody Fortwendel was arrested early Sunday on a charge of drunk driving.
Fortwendel, 59, of Avery Ridge Road, was arrested after a part-time sheriff's deputy stopped his minivan on Indiana 37 shortly before 3 a.m. Roger Smith, a full-time Tell City patrolman who works occasionally for the sheriff's department, was on the lookout for a possible drunk driver reported to police by another motorist.
TELL CITY – Late kin-dergarten enrollment for the Tell City-Troy Township School Corp. will be held at William Tell Elementary from 9 to 11 a.m. today.
To enter kindergarten for the 2011-12 school year, a child must be at least 5 years old on or before Aug. 1.
If your child has not been signed up for kindergarten for the coming school year, it is important that you enroll your child at this time.
Parents should bring with them the following:
Your child's official birth certificate; a hospital certificate will not be accepted.
CANNELTON – A pre-enrollment and registration schedule for prospective preschool and kindergarten students for the 2011-12 school year will be held from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. April 28 for Cannelton students.
A parent or guardian of any prospective student should go to the office at the William Bennett Early Learning Center, located at 411 Washington Street in Cannelton.
TELL CITY – The Tell City High School Renaissance leadership class will host its ninth annual Academic Pep Rally Friday.
This year's theme is Western based. The rally starts at 8:15 a.m. in Bryan Taylor Sports Arena. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Public guests should enter through Gate 3 on Tell Street. Upon entering, follow the signs to the seating area. All public seating will be in the upper level of the arena.
CANNELTON – Cannelton elementary will hold a yard sale from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Cannelton American Legion.
Everyone is welcome to put items in this yard sale.
All items should be taken to the Legion home from 10 to 11 p.m. (after bingo) Friday, or from 5 to 6 a.m. Saturday before the yard sale.
All proceeds will benefit the school's technology fund.
Meredith Scherer of Evanston and Kyle Mosby of Lamar announce their engagement and approaching wedding.
The bride-elect is the daughter of Bruce and Patricia Scherer of Evanston.
She is a 2010 graduate of Ivy Tech Community College with a human resource degree. She works at Wilhite and Associates.
Mr. Mosby is the son of Bill and Rita Mosby of Lamar. He is a 2007 graduate of Heritage Hills High School and works at Rexam.
SANTA CLAUS—Perry Central's goal of moving up in PLAC boys golf standings looks more reasonable after the Commodores beat Crawford County Tuesday.
Perry Central shot 174 to win a triangular match. Crawford County shot 183 and Forest Park 225.
Perry Central freshman Andrew Huber shot a 5-over-par 41 on the Christmas Lake course to tie for medalist honors.
Other Commodore scorers were Brad Douglas with a 43, James Rogier 44, and Trevor Carter 46.
Dylan Hirsch, who shot 41, and Nathan Bashor, 52, also played for the Commodores.
LYNNVILLE—Tiffany Summers threw a no-hitter, recording all 21 outs on strikeouts, as Tecumseh beat Cannelton 7-0 in girls softball Saturday.
Summers, a freshman, walked five and hit a batter. Cannelton loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batsman in the fifth inning but was unable to score.
Summers "doesn't throw as hard as (former Tecumseh all-state pitcher) Audra Sanders did, but she has better control of her off-speed pitches than Audra did as a freshman and she moves the ball around well," said Cannelton Coach Brian Garrett.
CANNELTON—Larry Holman and Cody Lawalin pitched strong complete games as Cannelton swept a baseball doubleheader with Rock Creek Academy Saturday.
Cannelton also took advantage of control problems by the pitchers for Rock Creek, a first-year baseball team playing its first game.
The Lions walked 16 in four innings (Cannelton did not bat in the bottom of the fifth) as Cannelton won the first game 11-1 by the 10-run rule.
Cannelton had five hits, including doubles by Hunter Herzog and Dylan May.

Cheese Phyllo Pie
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
I have a good friend whose family comes from Syria, and they make this almost every week for Saturday night supper. It's very comfort-foody.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 sheets phyllo dough
- 3⁄4 cup butter, melted
Cheese Filling
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 1⁄2 cups grated muenster cheese or 1 1⁄2 cups gruyere cheese (6 ounces)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash white pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (190 C).
- Lightly brush a 10 or 11 inch round baking dish with the butter.
- Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.
- Add the flour and stir until bubbly (2 to 3 minutes).
- Stir in the milk and simmer, stirring, until thickened.
- Add the Muenster cheese, yogurt, eggs, salt and pepper and stir over very low heat until smooth.
- Line the prepared dish with a sheet of phyllo, folding excess over top.
- Brush with butter.
- Repeat with the second phyllo sheet.
- Spread with about 3/4 cup cheese mixture.
- Top 2 additional phyllo sheets, brushing with butter.
- Repeat layering with remaining cheese mixture and phyllo, ending with phyllo sheets.
- Place in the refrigerator for several minutes to firm, then cut into squares (The pie may be prepared ahead to this point and frozen).
- Bake until golden brown (about 40 minutes).
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Most Helpful
Very good! Made it exactly as recipe stated, and it was delicious.
As I used a rectangular baking pan, I just folded the phyllo sheets in half and only used half as many as indicated and a good deal less butter. I used muenster cheese, but perhaps should have used gruyere for a more assertive cheese flavor. This was tasty--I think some dill would have been a very nice addition as well.

China Living: A Practical Guide to Living & Thriving in China
Corey Sheridan
Dieses Buch ist mit iBooks auf Ihrem Mac oder iOS-Gerät und auf Ihrem Computer mit iTunes zum Download verfügbar. Bücher können mit iBooks auf Ihrem Mac oder iOS-Gerät gelesen werden.
Are you moving to China? Or maybe going for a study-abroad trip?
China is a fascinating and dynamic country, where thousand year old temples and pulsing nightclubs exist only minutes apart.
It's also extremely foreign, where day-to-day systems run completely different from what you're accustomed.
China Living: A Practical Guide to Living & Thriving in China is your solution to navigating your time in the country. Where Lonely Planet provides necessary information for travelers passing through a country, China Living gives you all the essentials for quickly integrating and adjusting to life in China.
I have spent over 3 years working and studying in Shanghai and Beijing, navigating the cities and all the intricacies that living in China entail. All the tips, tricks, and stories in this book are a product of those three years, both living, working, and travelling extensively within China and Southeast Asia as well.
Whether you're a recent graduate looking to live, work, or teach abroad, a businessman or woman who is being sent by their company overseas to the Middle Kingdom, or just a world traveler spending an extended vacation in China and venturing to live like the Chinese, this book will help you avoid the pitfalls that trip up so many expats, and help you to really thrive in your new environment.
"When my girlfriend and I arrived in Shanghai a few years ago, we had no idea what we were doing, and worse than that, we had no clear path forward. There was no instruction manual for what we were trying to do, at least not back then. China is a very exciting place, but it can also be incredibly intimidating. We were lucky enough to make contact with Corey and suddenly everything seemed to be getting better. For months, we'd been eating poor food, wasting money, puzzling over regulations, and just generally starting to "think twice" about our decision to pick up our life and plop down in Shanghai. Corey saved us. He showed us how to stay healthy, happy, and safe in a very alien place, and the fun and success we are having now would not have been possible without him. His genius, I think, lies in the fact that he's done it all before--for himself--and that he understands exactly where we were coming from as young Westerners. My only regret is that we hadn't been in contact with him sooner. His advice would have saved us truck-loads of grief and money. Nevertheless, please accept my wholehearted endorsement of Corey Sheridan as the finest "Old China Hand" there ever was!" – Chris Crawford Jr.
Corey Sheridan is the best expat I know! When I moved to Shanghai a couple of years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I found myself in an overly expensive apartment, unsure how to meet other people, and generally lost in the vastness that is China. Once I met Corey, he not only showed me how to live more comfortably while saving money, he also knew how to make the most of Shanghai's diverse cultural offerings. From restaurants, to museums, to bars, to shopping areas, Corey always has advice on how to live the way you want to live in China. – Hannah Puckett

Explore Lake Como
Lake Como is one of the most popular destinations for Italian travelers. The lake offers activities like parasailing and kite-surfing, while the area surrounding the lake features upscale spas, restaurants, and historic villas. As some of the hotels are quite expensive, you can save money on Lake Como hotels by searching Orbitz.com for the best deals on rooms.
Via Regina
Finding a hotel room in the Lake Como area can be tricky. Many of the villas surrounding the lake are privately owned, and those owners want to retain their privacy. There are a few hotels in the area where you can find affordably priced rooms, including Albergo Centrale Cernobbio. This elegant hotel sits right in the middle of the historic town, and you can see the lake from your room. The hotel has an interior layout, which means that you never need to worry about privacy or security because all visitors pass through the lobby. There are more than 40 rooms at the hotel, including standard single rooms and double rooms. All of the rooms feature wireless Internet access, air conditioning and a minibar. Downstairs is a charming restaurant with rustic décor, and the contemporary lobby features ample space for sitting and relaxing. The hotel is close to the Lido di Lenno dock, where you can take a short boat ride to the historic site of Villa Balbianello. This large site features several ancient structures, including a classic Italian castle. The trip includes your journey back to the dock, but you should get there early to give yourself more time at the site.
Piazza San Rocco
Piazza San Rocco is a popular destination for travelers who love the outdoors. The road ends at the Pizza South Rocco beach, which is one of the public beaches open to locals and tourists. The large villas dotting the lake often have private beaches that you cannot visit without permission, but this public beach offers the same views and great experiences. The Posta Moltrasio Hotel is located at Piazza San Rocco 5, putting it close to the beach. This tasteful establishment features fantastic views of Lake Como and the rolling hills behind it. The hotel has its own contemporary dining room and a second dining area filled with antique furniture, and the gorgeous rooms have a mixture of tasteful antiques and modern decorations that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. When you want to get to the city, you are just a short drive from the Funicular Railway. This train weaves its way across a long and winding track that leads you through the hills, giving you one-of-a-kind view of the lake and the surrounding village.
Visit Lake Como
Lake Como is a popular retreat for actors like George Clooney, who purchased a house in the area. Sylvester Stallone and Madonna are just a few other celebrities who lived in the area over the years. If you want to rub elbows with the elite without spending your entire vacation budget, search Orbitz.com for affordable Lake Como hotels.

Evidently everything I own is on this list by name, except my grandfathers single shot .22
You must be a "hunter" then. It's ok for you to have that .22.
You will be fingerprinted and all of your personal information will be collected.
When the weapons become illegal or are required to be registered, they will know just where to come to get them.
Not armed citizens for long.....
It's getting out of control.
I noticed that there really wasn't a problem during the time that the ban was lifted...
But the ban did so much good before.
Look for a lot more this is what the Liberals voted for.
Impeachment wont be far behind.
This is one of many reasons we don't want Rudy.
Just one final statement.
I've been sitting here getting more and more fed up with all of this talk about these, pieces of machinery, having no legitimate sporting purpose, no legitimate hunting purpose, people, that is not the point of the second amendment!
The second amendment is not about duck hunting, and I know I'm not going to make very many friends saying this, but it's about our right, all of our right to be able to protect our selves from all of you guys up there.
Dr. Suzanna Gratia, Killeen massacre survivor who watched as her parents were murdered because she obeyed Texas law and left her handgun locked in her car. Appearing before Rep Schumer's committee hearings on the assault weapons ban
Here's the video of Suzanne Hupp testifying before congress.
But... all the Rudy fanatics here on FR say that gun control is now a state and local issue, not federal.
Every vote for a Democrat is a vote to give up your guns, always, period, no exceptions. Aren't you glad the "true conservatives" taught the GOP a "lesson" in 2006?
Well...their bill ought to stop crime in it's tracks. </sarc>
The libs and MSM have spun this in the public eye though.
Stock up on hi-cap magazines, now!
An M1 Carbine is an assault rifle???
Thanks for the shopping list.
The libs are going full out push toward socialism before they lose power.
Get em while you can.
and more power.
Never...these people are deranged. Here we are, at the birth of a war with a lunatic "religion" which has promised to kill us all...and our "elected representatives" are proposing to disarm us? It's not only madness, it is suicidal....the outcome, if they are sucessful, is going to get a great number of Americans killed.
It absolutely makes no sense.
Makes one wonder about the sanity of the people who actually "voted" for these people.
Kind of embarassing, really, knowing that I am country-mates with so many people who haven't a clue as to the danger that they are in.
"Mark my words - there will be legislation for a "National Firearms Identification Card" very soon.
You will be fingerprinted and all of your personal information will be collected."
The state already does this when you by a gun or put in for a concealed carry permit. Back before the Brady Bill, you had to fill out a form to buy a gun. Took about five minutes, but there was still a state record of who bought the gun.
"Mark my words - there will be legislation for a "National Firearms Identification Card" very soon.
You will be fingerprinted and all of your personal information will be collected."
OOOPS, I just lost all of my firearms. Don't know what happpened to them. Imagine that!!!
Hmmm, I only have two named long guns and one shotgun that meets the named criteria.
I need to go shopping, I wonder if the Congresswoman would mine if I used her bill as a shopping list?
It's good to be concerned about these things, but McCarthy trots this out every year. If you want to see a Dem congresscritter shake and shiver, mention this bill and then whisper "1994" in their ear.
The question is which do the Democrats love more? Power or Socialism for the masses?

Did you forget to add RINO as well?
I can imagine the lesson that Rudy or McCain will administer to gunowners if either one of them gets into the White House.
The same goes for republican Giuliani. The GOP hasn't learned anything yet. It's gonna get a lot darker for the party until the leadership in the GOP(and we the people)start acting on principles instead of fear.
Back when I was a federal law clerk in the 80s, I worked on the case that declared that ordinance constitutional.
You go to Jail.
Thank GOD for Kennesaw. We have them to point out how it is working. You can always throw this in their faces (even though they will ignore it).
"Mayor Giuliani, do you support the renewal of the AWB currently before Congress, and if it came to your desk as president, would you sign it?"
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
It won't end until we take the District of Criminals by storm.
I'm waiting for Former Governor Mitt Romney to speak out against the renewal of the AWB (this pits him in a pickle, doesn't it?)
It took a lot of research to know how to ban almost everything...
"...City of Kennesaw..."
Right, I was thinking the city was called Kennesaw Mountain like the nearby battlefield. Congressman Larry McDonald represented that area. His district ran from Marietta through Rome and on up to the Chattanooga suburbs. I was a campaign boy for his '82 reelection and stayed long term in a motel located about where Marietta fades into Kennesaw.
Arn't you glad our "represenatives" ignored fair warnings? Those idiots are supposed to represent their constituents, not rule to spite them.
Bill H. R. 1022 ha ha!
Saiga is a new addition isn't it ?
And we, in turn, will know just where to start shooting.
"Stock up on hi-cap magazines, now!"
Unless you live in MAssachusetts- Romney alredy made them illegal there!
He was right all along about the commies, though . . . and they got him just like he said they would . . .

The regulation of pressure within fluid systems is accomplished by pressure regulators which are usually spring biased and often utilize differential pressure faces to position a valve relative to an orifice or seat for fluid flow control, and hence pressure control. Such pressure regulators usually are constructed such that this fluid flow is severely restricted through the regulator, the flow path often taking a 90� deflection. Conventional pressure regulators are often bulky and require considerable space and clearance, and are not readily incorporated into flexible hose line systems.
It is an object of the invention to provide an axial flow pressure regulator which can be readily incorporated into flexible hose line systems without significantly adding to the bulk of such systems.
Another object of the invention is to provide a pressure regulator capable of accurately regulating fluid pressure within a conduit, yet which does not significantly restrict the fluid flow other than to regulate the pressure.
An additional object of the invention is to provide an axial flow pressure regulator which may be readily incorporated into aircraft refueling coupling and nozzle systems.
Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a pressure regulator of a concise and convenient configuration having an exterior form complementary to the adjacent fluid system components.
A further object of the invention is to provide an axial flow pressure regulator utilizing a dashpot damper of economical form which minimizes control valve vibration and hunting.
Another object of the invention is to provide an axial flow pressure regulator for a pressurized fluid system which will automatically terminate fluid flow in the event of an excessive flow rate.
In the practice of the invention a spring biased tubular valve is mounted within the fluid flow passage of a body for axial displacement therein. One end of the valve is in axial alignment with a valve seat, and differential pressure faces defined upon the valve control the axial position of the valve relative to the seat to control fluid flow and pressure. The exterior surface of the valve is vented to the atmosphere to assure consistent differential pressure operational characteristics.
To minimize valve "hunting" a dashpot damper is interposed between the valve and body consisting of a variable volume chamber either defined upon the body or valve used in conjunction with an annular fluid flow regulator through which the chamber communicates with the pressurized fluid. Thus, ingress or egress of fluid within the chamber is restricted thereby damping the valve against rapid vibrational displacement.
An embodiment of the pressure regulator of the invention is disclosed wherein the regulator body may be used in conjunction with a standard military aircraft refueling nozzle, and the regulating valve seat is movably mounted in such a manner that excessive fluid flow through the regulator axially displaces the valve seat structure to seal the body to prevent further fluid flow.
The aforementioned objects and advantages of the invention will be appreciated from the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partially in diametrical section, illustrating a pressure regulator in accord with the invention, the valve components being shown in a normal, inactive condition,
FIG. 2 is an elevational sectional view of the regulator of FIG. 1 as connected to a valve fitting, illustrating the valve in an operative condition,
FIG. 3 is an elevational sectional view similar to FIG. 2 illustrating the valve seat structure in a displaced closed condition under excessive fluid flow conditions,
FIG. 4 is an elevational, partially diametrically sectioned view of another embodiment of axial fluid pressure regulator in accord with the invention in an inoperative non-use condition, and
FIG. 5 is a detailed, elevational, sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 4 illustrating the valve component in an operative condition.
The axial flow pressure regulator concepts of the invention may be utilized within a broad range of fluid conduit system fittings, and in the drawings two such fittings are illustrated. In FIGS. 1-3, the concepts of the invention are incorporated in an adapter nozzle used for refueling aircraft, and this nozzle is designed for use with a standard D-1 military refueling nozzle identified as Mil-N-5877C.
The adapter body 10 is of a tubular configuration including a passage 12 intersecting one end upon which radially extending bayonet type connection projections 14 are defined for attaching the adapter to a standard D-1 nozzle. The other end of the adapter body includes a plurality of pivoted fingers 16 mounted thereon pivotal between radially retracted positions as shown in FIG. 1, to an inwardly extending position by an actuator sleeve 18 biased toward the left by compression spring 20. The sleeve 18 may be manually displaced to the right, which retracts and releases the fingers 16, and under operating conditions the spring 20 will axially displace the sleeve to the left which cams the fingers inwardly whereby the adapter may be locked to an aircraft fuel inlet, not shown. Externally, the adapter is provided with a plurality of radially extending knobs 22 permitting the adapter to be quickly attached to the refueling nozzle. When the adapter body 10 is attached to the aircraft inlet the cylindrical inlet will be received within the passage cylindrical portion 24 and sealed thereto by O-ring 26.
The passage 12 is sealed adjacent the right end by a plug 28 which includes an O-ring 30 engaging the radial seat 32, and a compression spring 34 biases the plug toward the right for normally engaging the seal and seat to prevent foreign matter from entering the body passage. The plug includes a plurality of ports 36 through which fluid may flow upon the plug being displaced to the left from the position shown in FIG. 1.
The plug 28 includes a hub 38 of tubular configuration and a diametrically disposed pin 40 extends across the hub recess.
A valve seat core member 42 is centrally located within the passage 12 and is maintained and located therein by the plug 28. The member 42 includes an elongated slot 44 through which the pin 40 extends, and compression spring 46 interposed between the plug 28 and the annular radial projection 48 biases the member 42 toward the left normally maintaining the pin 40 against the right end of the slot 44 to support the member within the passage. The member 42 includes an elongated neck 50 upon which a head 52 is threaded, and the radial projection 48 includes an annular elastomeric valve seat 54 and a radially extending sealing surface 56.
Pressure regulation is achieved by the axially displaceable tubular valve 58 located within passage 12 in radial alignment with the core neck 50. The internal diameter of the valve is sufficently spaced from the neck as to not significantly restrict fluid flow through the adapter body, and the valve includes an outer end 60 having a countersunk sealing surface 62 while the inner end 64 includes a shaped configuration adapted to sealingly engage the axially aligned seat 54 defined upon the core member projection 48.
Externally, the valve 58 is provided with a maximum diameter adjacent outer end 60 in which the annular lip seal 66 is located for sealing the valve to the body passage 12, and the body passage includes a cylindrical face of lesser diameter in which the lip seal 68 is located and sealingly engages the outer surface of the valve 58.
The valve configuration defines an annular chamber 70 between seals 66 and 68 which is vented to the atmosphere at 72, and compression spring 74 exerts a biasing force on the valve 58 toward the left, FIG. 1.
The normal unattached state of the adapter components will be as shown in FIG. 1. The plug 28 will engage the body seat 32 under the influence of spring 34 preventing foreign matter from entering the right end of the adapter, while the spring 74 will bias the valve 58 toward the left engaging the valve surface 62 with the core member head 52 closing the left end of the adapter against the entrance of foreign matter.
Upon attaching the adapter body to the standard D-1 refueling nozzle 76 by means of projections 14 the nozzle spider 78 will displace the plug 28 to the left unseating the plug from seat 32, and causing the core member 42 to shift to the left, FIG. 2, in that the core member is axially positioned within the body by the plug. Snap ring 80 mounted within the body passage 12 restricts the valve 58 against movement toward the left, and the leftward movement of the core member 42, FIG. 2, will unseat the valve from the head 52, and as the plug ports 36 are now in communication with the D-1 nozzle, fluid can flow through the adapter as soon as the adapter is attached to the fuel inlet by fingers 16 and the valve in the D-1 nozzle is opened.
As fluid flow through the passage 12 occurs the pressure within the adapter will act upon the left end 60 of the valve 58, and also act upon the right end 64 of the valve. As the effective radial pressure faces of the valve at each end differ, the pressure face at the valve end 60 being larger than at the right end 64, internal fluid pressure within the passage tends to bias the valve toward the right in a direction toward the valve seat 48. The area ratio of pressure faces and the biasing force produced by spring 74 are so predetermined that the operating clearance between the valve end 64 and the valve seat 54 will maintain the desired fluid pressure within the adapter, and if the pressure is reduced, the valve will move to the left increasing the volume of flow and the internal pressure, while increases in internal pressure cause the valve to move toward the right closing the valve gap and reducing the internal pressure. Thus, it will be appreciated that a fully automatic pressure regulation is achieved.
In order to prevent "hunting" of the valve 58 during operation, the valve is damped by dashpot structure incorporated into the components. In FIG. 1 the dashpot structure includes a chamber 82 formed in the body 10 by cylindrical surface 84, and a valve mounted snap ring 86 mounted adjacent the valve end 64 radially extends into the chamber 82 whereby a small clearance exists between the periphery of the ring 86 and the surface 84. This annular clearance defines a damping orifice establishing communication between the chamber and the internal fluid pressure such that the resistance to fluid flow over the ring damps valve movement and produces a smooth valve operation during pressure regulation.
To disconnect the adapter from the D-1 nozzle 76 the nozzle valve is first closed, and the adapter may then be rotated by the knobs 22 to release the adapter from the nozzle. Upon being released, the spring 34 will bias the plug to the condition of FIG. 1, and after the fingers 16 are released from the inlet by sleeve 18 the components will return to the relationship of FIG. 1 wherein the body 10 is sealed at each end.
If, inadvertently, the operator should actuate the sleeve 18 to release the adapter from the fuel tank inlet prior to closing the nozzle 76, the adapter will automatically close. This operation occurs due to the fact that a high volume of unrestricted fluid flow against the plug 28 will cause the spring 34 to compress shifting the plug to the left, FIG. 3, which, likewise, causes the core member 42 to move to the left. Such movement of the plug and core member will occur until the projection seal surface 56 engages the annular valve seat surface 88 defined in the body member passage, and upon such engagement occurring the body passage will be blocked to further fluid flow therethrough. The "lost motion" interconnection between the core member 42 and the plug 28 resulting from the relationship of the pin 40 and elongated slot 44 permits the aforementioned relationships to occur without overstressing, or requiring accurate tolerances, and once the primary nozzle refueling valve has been closed the spring 34 will return the plug, and core member to the position of FIG. 1.
From the above it will be appreciated that an axial flow regulator is produced which accurately controls fluid pressures without adversely affecting the flow characteristics through the fitting, and the apparatus also serves as an emergency closing valve to prevent accidental fuel loss.
A variation of a fluid conduit system fitting incorporating the concepts of the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In this embodiment the fitting includes a substantially cylindrical body 90 having identical ends wherein axially extending bayonet connections 92 permit the body to be quickly attached "in-line" to complementary fittings, and the annular flat-face lip seals 94 will seal the fitting to the associated conduit system components, not shown. The body 90 includes a passage 96, and a valve seat 98 is centrally located within the passage and fixedly maintained therein by spider structure 100. The valve seat includes an annular elastomeric seal.
A tubular valve 102 is located within the passage 96, and includes an external surface chamber 104 receiving compression spring 106, the chamber being vented to the atmosphere at 108. Seal 110 seals the valve to the passage surface, while body mounted elastomer seal 112 seals the valve at the reduced diameter of the body passage. As in the previously described embodiment, the diameter of the valve at seal 110 is greater than that at seal 112 producing a greater internal pressure face at the left end of the valve, than at the right end thereof. The right end of the valve 102 is shaped to define an annular edge in axial alignment with the valve seat 98.
Movement of the valve 102 to the left is restricted by snap ring 114 engaging the radial abutment surface 116 defined on the valve. The abutment surface 116, and the passage and valve define a dashpot damping chamber 118 receiving the ring 114, and the radial clearance between the innermost edge of the ring and the valve produces an orifice of limited cross sectional area capable of damping the valve movement during operation.
In use, the body 90 is attached in-line to the fluid circuit desired, and pressurizing the passage 96 will subject both ends of the valve 102 to fluid pressure. As predetermined by the area ratio of the valve end pressure surfaces, and the biasing force produced by spring 106, the valve 102 will relate itself to the valve seat 98 to produce that fluid flow through the body which produces the desired pressure therein. As the pressure increases the valve will move toward the right closing the gap between the valve end and valve seat, while a decrease in pressure permits the spring 106 to force the valve toward the left, to open the flow gap.
It will be appreciated that various modifications to the inventive concepts may be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The well respected prize that celebrates the best of women's international fiction that has, since 1995, been known as The Orange Prize for Fiction, might well soon become the Apple Prize for Fiction - if the rumors abounding that the US technology giant is close to agreeing to take over sponsorship of the award are correct.

Crime reporter accused of robbery, firing at cops
Police allege the four initially posed as police
Associated Press
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — A reporter who led crime coverage for a Trinidad & Tobago newspaper and a TV news cameraman are being accused of robbing a liquor store and getting in a shootout with police.
Authorities say Trinidad Express reporter Akile Simon and TV6 cameraman Brendon Alexander teamed up with a security guard and a taxi driver to commit the robbery in a town outside Port-of-Spain.
Police allege the four initially posed as police, showing the shop owner a phony warrant.
The gang is accused of engaging officers in a shootout shortly after robbing the store of $28,000 and nine bottles of whiskey. The security guard was shot in the leg before they surrendered.
The reporter and the cameraman pleaded not guilty to robbery charges at a court hearing Thursday.
