Editorial Reviews
"Mastermind is a heart-pounding read that not only reveals the never before told story of KSM and his terrorist plots, but also the politics surrounding his capture and possible trial. Miniter has it all. If you want the real story behind KSM from beginning to end you must read this book."
-Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense
"In telling the full story of KSM, Richard Miniter also reveals the conditions that bred so many other dangerous terrorists-conditions that persist today as much as ever. This is a fascinating book and a must read for those who want to understand the greatest threat to our nation's security."
-General Richard B. Myers, ret., former chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
"An absolutely captivating biography of the wheelhorse of Islamist terror. Learn, for example, how the FBI's insistence on unnecessary formalities in 1996 left Khalid Shaikh Mohammed free to plot and direct 9/11. Impossible to put down. Stunning."
-R. James Woolsey, director of Central Intelligence
"Richard Miniter has written a lively book that raises and offers answers to fascinating questions about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, one of the world's most murderous and significant terrorists."
-Douglas Feith, former undersecretary of defense for policy; author of War and Decision

It is refreshing to find someone like Miniter who takes the time and has the work ethic to investigate the subject, educate himself, and give appropriate weight and context to what's he's discovered. I've read some praise his technical reporting skills, but I consider him a very engaging writer. It is as information-rich as a CIA memo and reads like a novel.
While our fellow citizens are in harm's way, at the very least we all have the obligation to educate ourselves about who exactly is trying to kill them, and us. This book is an excellent place to start, and reveals new and connections to those who are already engaged deeply in the subject.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (`KSM') was captured in Rawalpindi in a combined US-Pakistani sting operation on 1st March 2003 and at the time of writing (July 2011), languishes in Guantanamo Bay posing serious problems for the US administration. As jihadis crave the global publicity resulting from high-profile execution the author details why, in his assessment, political consideration of the repercussions of KSM's martyrdom now make trial by a civilian court all but impossible.
Observing the classic journalistic truism `If you don't go, then you don't know' Miniter's thoroughness took him to Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, several EU countries including Germany and Spain, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Pakistan, The Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen to interview members of KSM's extensive family of contacts face-to-face. In addition terror-cell insiders, police and soldiers from several nations, analysts, diplomats, intelligence agents, lawyers, prosecutors, judges, Prime Ministers and Presidential appointees in four continents involved over 30 years as witnesses, investigators and prosecutors of jihadist terror have been tracked down by the author and interviewed on the record. The result is a thoroughly researched book crammed with facts and compelling evidence.Read more ›
He was born in rural Pakistan in a region that seems to me to be something like the Basque region of Spain. It is part of Spain but it isn't. His father moved to Kuwait to work and finally gained some status there, but KSM grew up as an outsider in Kuwait after being an outsider in Pakistan. He came to the United States to study chemical engineering. And he hated America. He put his education to work right away in making explosives. He and his nephew, Ramzi Yousef, were fast friends all their lives and became the center of a terrorist wrecking crew. They were largely independent of organizations like Al Qaeda for a long time and raised their own funds from backers to carry out their attacks.
While be bombed nightclubs and tested bombs on airplanes his early dreams were to kill President Clinton, then the Pope, then his famous Bojinka plot: bring down eleven planes in one day. In one version of the plot, he was to personally land one of the hijacked planes, let the passengers go, make a big speech, and then fly out of America to safety.
The blurbs on the back call the book heart pounding, fascinating, captivating, and lively. It is all that and more.Read more ›

Franklin rallies to win in Georgia
Published: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 10:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 10:15 p.m.
SYLVANIA, Ga. — Dennis "Rambo" Franklin of Gaffney, charged to the win from his seventh-place starting spot in the 15th-annual Rebel Yell at Screven Motor Speedway Saturday night earning $5,300 for 53 laps worth of work. It was his first Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series victory of the season.
"From qualifying we threw something at it," Franklin said. "In the heat race we weren't any good, so I went back to my notes. We put the set-up under the car that I had run in '09 here and it just brought the car to life."
"They were racing hard there for the lead early and I just rode for awhile. But then I just said 'The heck with it, I need to go.' Because you can never tell what you are going to get into here with lap traffic, that is why I didn't slow down when I got in traffic. I have just been taken out too many times like that so I just went at it."
Finishing second and third was Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., and Casey Barrow of Savannah, Ga. Rounding out the top five was Eric Jacobsen of Rio Del Mar, Cal., and Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga.
The fifth round of the 10-races-in-13-days tour saw some of the most spirited racing of the week.
Brent Dixon, of Elberton, Ga., led the field to the green to start the main event. He would hold onto the top spot until Roberts got by him on the seventh lap. Dixon and Roberts would put on a great exhibition of driving for the lead until lap 16 when Dixon slowed and turned his machine to the pits. A broken rear axle ended his night.
Roberts would then pace the field, picking and choosing his way through lapped traffic as the race was only slowed by three caution flags. Behind him, Ivedent Lloyd Jr. of Ocala, Fla., did his best to curtail the advances of Franklin. He eventually would surrender the runner-up spot to Franklin. From there, Franklin's number 2 car quickly ran down Roberts' 101 and moved to the lead on the 39th lap.
In the closing circuits, Franklin put on a no-holds-barred approach to lap traffic as he steered low, high, and through the middle any way he could. In the final corner of the last lap he intruded on Billy Ogle Jr., of Knoxville, Tenn., and Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C., and elbowed his way through the middle for a clean view of the finish line.
Gaffney's Chris Madden brought home an eighth-place finish and still holds the series' point lead with five races remaining.

A few Sunday's ago we heard this beautiful Gospel passage from John:
"My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
I give you a new commandment: love one another.
As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
This is how all will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another." – John 13:34-35
Well, as it turns out, loving one another is not so easy, huh? Not if we consider what it REALLY means to love one another.

Children's Literature - Vicki FooteThis small nonfiction text in the "Discovering Nature's Cycles" series explains the cycle of days and nights in simple terms. Photographs on each page show how earth spins in space and the difference between dawn and sunrise. Sunset and dusk are defined by the facts that the sun moves lower in the sky at sunset and that one can no longer see the sun at dusk. Night is shown with a photo of a family camping and another one of the dark sky with the moon and the stars. Nelson then describes the sun coming up again in the morning and relates the fact that the cycle goes repeats continuously. An illustration shows the sun in relation to the earth and the rotation of the earth depicting day and night. A paragraph of related facts explains the process in relation to the sun. A similar explanation on the last few pages called "Day and Night Facts" adds a bit of additional information. A glossary and index are included. The text provides good basic information for a child's first explanation of this topic. Reviewer: Vicki Foote

Day and Night based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
After the day is finished, night time comes. This is a cycle that happens as "the Earth spins in space. When you get up in the morning, wherever you are living is "turning to face the sun." In the early morning you can just see the sun's light starting to peek out at dawn. When the sun starts to get higher in the sky this is called sunrise. When it is day, everything is bright and you can "see the sun and the clouds in the sky." If you looked at the Earth from outer space you can see that only a part of it is lit up as it spins. When evening comes, "your part of Earth is turning away from the sun" and night is coming again. When the sun starts to move "lower in the sky," this is called sunset. At dusk there is still a bit of light, but you cannot see the sun. When it gets dark and you cannot see any sunlight at all it is night. When you look up in the sky you "can see the moon and the stars." The Earth will keep turning and this cycle will continue. In the back of this book you will be able to take a look at a diagram that shows this cycle and will learn more about this cycle. For example, you will learn that "it takes Earth 24 hours to spin around once." This is an excellent book to introduce the natural cycle of the Earth's rotation to the young student. As beginning nonfiction, the simple sentences with an accompanying photograph are an excellent way for the emergent reader to become interested in Earth science. Unfamiliar words such as "dusk" and "cycle" are highlighted in bold and explained in the glossary. The photographs were well chosen and make it easy to differentiate between the concept of dusk versus night. This is one in a series called, Discovering Nature's Cycles. One other in the series entitled The Night Sky is a perfect compliment to this book. Quill says: If you are interested in introducing very basic Earth science in your classroom, this is an excellent series to consider!

|RE: include and multi-byte characters
|Thu, 29 Jun 2000 18:41:07 GMT
Hello, I suppose it's a bug - I've got the same problem with ISO8859_2 encoding. I think it's because JspParseEventListener try get attribute "encoding", but directive "include" can have only "file" attribute. Look at org.apache.jasper.compile.JspParseEventListener.handleDirective: .... if (directive.equals("include")) { String file = (String) attrs.get("file"); String encoding = (String) attrs.get("encoding"); if (file == null) throw new JasperException(Constants.getString("jsp.error.include.missing.file")); // jsp.error.include.bad.file needs taking care of here?? try { reader.pushFile(file, encoding); } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) { throw new JasperException(Constants.getString("jsp.error.include.bad.file")); } So encoding is always null, and null is passed to JspReader.pushFile: private void pushFile(File file, String encoding) throws ParseException, FileNotFoundException { // Default encoding if needed: if (encoding == null) { encoding = "8859_1"; // XXX - longer term, this should really be: // System.getProperty("file.encoding", "8859_1"); // but this doesn't work right now, so we stick with ASCII } And finally encoding is set always to "8859_1" !!!! You must not set encoding attribute in include directive, because Parser raise exception. It allows only "file" - Parser: private static final JspUtil.ValidAttribute[] includeDvalidAttrs = { new JspUtil.ValidAttribute ("file", true) }; --- Damian Golda firstname.lastname@example.com -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com]On Behalf Of Pilho Kim Sent: Monday, January 01, 1601 1:00 AM To: email@example.com Subject: include and multi-byte characters Hi, It seems that <%@ include file="foo.jsp" %> has some bug when foo.jsp contains multi-byte characters.

I recently completed a 12 day vacation with Avalon, consisting of two nights in Budapest at the Intercontinental Hotel, one week on the Avalon Vista cruising up the Danube and the Main-Danube Canal, and three nights in Prague. Quite simply, it was wonderful. The service on the ship was second to none and the entire trip was under the careful supervision of a wonderful Cruise Director, Hans Beckert. The included tours were all excellent, as were the optional tours. On board entertainment included superb classical musicians from the Bratislava symphony orchestra, a fascinating presentation about locks, wine and beer tasting demonstrations, and a hilarious Crew Night. Staterooms on Decks 2 and 3 have wall to wall windows that open all the way, a glorious way to watch the river go by (Deck 1 has small windows). The hotels in Budapest and Prague were excellent and the extra time allowed for an appreciation of all that they had to offer. In contrast, a day and a half in Vienna felt rushed. More
But river cruising is a great way to explore the smaller centres such as Durnstein, Melk and Regensburg. This is an adults only cruise and I highly recommend it for culture vultures. Less

text: Okay, so I was thinking to myself earlier today and thinking about how I see a hard achievement and I'll go to the conclusion "That's impossible, I'll never get it" but I put some thought into it and I think that ANYONE can get ANY achievement. I don't think there is any achievement that is literally unattainable for anyone (Unless of course it's an online game and servers got shut down or reasons like that). I think that there is definitely very difficult achievements, but if anyone puts the effort and time to keep on trying I think anyone could attain anything. What do you guys think?

Multiple sources tell Geek.com Google plans to unify its numerous messaging platforms, which include Talk, Voice, Hangout, and Google+ Messenger, into a single service called Babble. The site observes Babble would extend Google's efforts to organize user-to-user communication by conversation rather than underlying technology (IM, VoIP, video chat, etc.). Larry Page has been all about fostering product integration lately.

I've been using Last.fm (formerly Audioscrobbler, hence the title) for most of the year now, and just tonight I passed 11,111 songs (I figured this extremely arbitrary milestone was as good as any). I'm by no means among the most active users, but that's a decent amount of music. It appears that my Overall Top Artists chart is heavily influenced by new releases in the last year, which is no real surprise. While I wish there were some more ways to analyze the data and see trends, the information provided is fairly interesting. It also serves to remind me of some of the older albums I own that I haven't listened to in quite awhile. The user profile pages and artist pages can also show some intriguing relationships and comparisons. I highly recommend joining, and if you do be sure to let me know.

Discogs.com – Very cool site.Wednesday, April 19th, 2006
When looking up music release information or discographies, I relied on a combination of Amazon.com, Allmusic.com, sometimes Wikipedia and record label or store websites. Now I can add Discogs.com to the list. They rely on user-submitted content and function very similar to IMDB.com. I was impressed, and will look to see if there's some things that I can contribute.
They're also local, which I thought was really cool. First I find that CDBaby is based in Portland, now Discogs.com, who knows what else is out there.

We're having trouble coming up with an adequate set of adjectives to describe our opinions of the new Goblin WolfSpyder. On one hand, the idea of an enclosed three-wheeled vehicle that's capable of returning excellent fuel mileage and performance is intriguing. On the other hand, this is one incredibly ridiculous looking vehicle that offers little reason to justify its nearly $20,000 price tag (plus optional heat, air conditioning and overhead canopy) on top of the $15,449 Can-Am Spyder donor ve

Rex Roy from Winding Road says that the Can-Am Spyder looks like the end-result of a snowmobile crashing into a Caterham 7. Interesting analogy, we think, considering the single-track rear and the double-track fender-less front. BRP, makers of the Spyder, hope to bring the benefits of motorcycles to the masses by making the machine easier to master. Additionally, we think that the physical size and presence might help when it comes to making yourself seen on the roadways. The performance, while

After initial treatment is completed, patients with either cancer are followed closely with visits every 2 to 4 months for the first 3 years and then every 6 months for another 2 years or so and ultimately yearly. At each visit they have a physical exam, including a pelvic exam, CA125 testing, and, depending on the patient and her situation, imaging tests, such as CT scans, X-rays, MRIs or PET scans, may be performed. Unless patients are diagnosed early these cancers have a tendency to recur with time. Hence, patients often require more than one round of chemotherapy and may also need additional surgical procedures.
Gynecologic oncologists discuss some of the most important research presented at the 2016 SGO Annual Meeting in San Diego. Ovarian cancer survivor and patient advocate Jocelyn Alfandre (pictured) was a featured speaker at the Annual Meeting.

Is Grover finally over?
By FRANK BRUNI
New York Times News Service
I once took a long train ride with conservative activist Grover Norquist. This wasn't intentional. We found ourselves next to each other on the line to board, and we fell into a conversation, by which I mean that he did a great deal of talking, in that faintly maniacal way of his, while I presented a captive audience.
He continued to talk as we walked along the platform and was still talking as we entered the train, so it was more or less unavoidable that we sit together. Besides which, I was genuinely fascinated, which is a very different adjective from amused.
This happened earlier this year, around the time that pundits galore were weighing in on whom Mitt Romney should choose as a running mate.
Someday someone will write a dark history — a farce, really — of how Norquist managed to bring nearly all of the Republican Party to heel, compelling legislator upon legislator to lash themselves to his no-new-taxes pledge.
Until then we'll have to content ourselves with his misfortune over the last few days. No sooner had a nation digested its turkey than his goose began to be cooked. The spreading rebellion in the Republican ranks was manifest on the post-Thanksgiving Sunday talk shows.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina dissed Norquist on ABC's "This Week," saying that "when you're $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming Greece." On NBC's "Meet the Press," Rep. Peter King of New York also stressed that the country's current fiscal woes trumped vows made in less debt-ridden times, and over on "Fox News Sunday," Sen. John McCain signaled a receptiveness to new revenue, another dagger to Norquist's dark heart.
All three Republican lawmakers were echoing previous comments of their own and of a small but significant cluster of colleagues, whose numbers continued to grow Monday, when Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, appearing on CBS' "This Morning," pronounced himself "not obligated on the pledge." It's as if some spell has at long last been broken, and the formerly bewitched villagers are rising up to defy their evil overlord and insist on the possibility of life and even mirth without a deduction for corporate jets.
I celebrate this not because I think tax increases are some budget panacea. They're not even close. In fact there's a serious risk of focusing too much on them and too little on entitlement reform and other potential savings, and one of the real values of the Republican Party has been its insistence, in theory if not always in practice, on careful attention to expenditures.
But over recent years the party lost much of its credibility in this discussion, by dint of the lavish spending and escalating debt under George W. Bush and because of a sophomoric, gimmicky purity that's incarnate in Norquist, who has done his party real damage. He might as well have been onstage during that infamous Republican debate in August 2011 when all eight candidates for the party's presidential nomination said that they wouldn't accept even $1 in tax increases for $10 in spending reductions. They had devolved into dummies, and Norquist was their ventriloquist.
There's no place for absolutists and absolutism in a democracy, which is designed for give-and-take, for compromise. That's one of the lessons of "Lincoln," which moviegoers are thronging to and intellectuals are swooning for precisely because it illuminates and validates the intrinsic and purposeful messiness of our system. It exalts flexibility. It venerates pragmatism.
And I hope that Republicans and Democrats alike will keep those principles in mind as we approach the fiscal cliff. Norquist certainly hasn't, but then he bears no responsibility for governing and is concerned less with voters and their welfare than with those of us in the news media, who have been too quick to summon him, rewarding his staged and reliable vividness.
In a recent appearance on a Times webcast, he joked that government did need some funding, for "a military strong enough to keep the Canadians on their side of the border," har-har. And he called taxes "thoroughly icky." Then he winked, as if this were all just fun and games. To him, maybe. But the fun is fading fast.

Brenden Motley continued to manage the offense in his first road start in place of Michael Brewer, throwing for 220 yards and accounting for three touchdowns in Virginia Tech's 51-24 win over Purdue. Motley did a solid job of keeping the offense moving, while the Hokies' D was dominant. Thirteen of Purdue's 16 drives ended in a turnover, three-and-out or turnover on downs.
What the win means for Virginia Tech: Every win without Brewer feels like a big one for the Hokies, who will continue to rely on Motley for at least another few weeks. Virginia Tech was a heavy favorite in this game, and they showed why, dominating on both sides of the ball. There were some issues that need to be addressed -- particularly a hefty total of penalties -- and Motley still looks uncomfortable as a passer at times, but overall this was a strong performance.
What the loss means for Purdue: The Boilermakers hoped to steal a nonconference win, but that didn't happen. They've now lost both of their games against FBS foes, and the offense looks like it's going to need to get a lot better if a bowl game is to be in the cards. QB Austin Appleby completed just 9 of 28 passes, and the Boilermakers were outgained by the Hokies 471-265.
Play of the game: Just your typical reverse to the fullback, followed by a pass to the quarterback. Motley pitched to J.C. Coleman, who pitched to fullback Sam Rogers, who threw it downfield to Motley, who rumbled ahead to the 1-yard line. Coleman found the end zone one play later, giving the Hokies a 34-17 lead that effectively put the game out of reach.
Stat of the game: Virginia Tech had a touchdown in all three phases of the game against Purdue, scoring on a 20-yard fumble return by Chuck Clark in the first quarter and a blocked punt in the third to accompany a strong offensive performance. It's the first time the Hokies have turned the hat trick since 2007.

OSHA and Wisconsin Association of Occupational Health Nurses Form Alliance to Promote Safety and Health
CHICAGO -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the South Central Wisconsin Association of Occupational Health Nurses, and the Wisconsin Safety and Health Consultation Services have formed an alliance to reduce and eliminate worker exposures to bloodborne pathogens, among many other work-related health hazards for the nursing profession.
OSHA alliances are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships.
"This alliance will give Wisconsin occupational health nurses better access to job safety and health information. It will forge an atmosphere of cooperation and assistance among healthcare professionals to eliminate a variety of threats to medical workers, including ergonomic issues, exposure to tuberculosis, chemical handling, and strengthen the cooperative efforts and level of trust already established" said OSHA Area Director Kimberly Stille.
The alliance places a high priority on increasing safety and health awareness. A key goal is to establish a greater level of trust so members of the state association will use OSHA and the state's Health Consultation Service as resources to answer questions or provide compliance assistance.
Representatives of the organizations will develop an action plan and share information on activities and results in

text: Hi All Pretty much a hail mary shot on this one. I'm running an Acer Aspire One 522 with Lubuntu. I have been wanting to get my portable scanner (an Epson DS-30) running for quite some time, however I can't for the life of my figure out why it won't power up (its one of those models that is solely powered through the USB port and doesn't have a power button). Here's the worst part - I'm brutally unfamiliar with Linux. I have a background of command prompts with DOS a long time ago, but Linux is practically a foreign language for me. However, I'm patient and adept at googling. Here's what I've figured out..... I've installed ImageScan for Linux, and it recognizes there's a DS-30 attached, but gives a "could not send command to scanner. check the scanner's status." message I've also tried VueScan, which detected the Epson DS-30 attached, however says "VueScan found an Epson DS-30, but no Epson software for this scanner was found on your system. Try downloading a driver for this scanner from epson's website " I've installed the Linux drivers from the Epson Website, and they seemed to install, however no change there. I also tried using lsusb to see if Linux detected the scanner, and it did find it... "Bus 001 Device 017: ID 04b8:0147 Seiko Epson Corp." So, overall, it seems like Linux can see it, and at least partially recognizes it, but for some reason, the scanner won't power up (the LED indicator on it won't turn on). I've eliminated the possibility of it being the scanner or the usb cable, as I can get it to power up on a Windows 8 system after installing the drivers and software there. I'm wondering if maybe there is something different with how the USB ports on my system are configured? maybe the scanner doesn't like them? Yeah, I'm really that stuck. So, any suggestions/thoughts/walkthroughs that anyone can provide would be immensely appreciated. I'm trying to avoid dual-booting with windows so I can regain the use of my scanner. Thanks all, Jason

I am not quite sure about the difference among the console (in "windows console application"), cmd.exe, a shell.
- I know cmd.exe is a stand-alone process when running, is cmd.exe == shell ? So shell is just a process?
- is console == cmd.exe?
- MSDN says ProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute==True means use the shell when starting the process, does it mean that the process is started just the same as i run a cmd.exe and run the program from that command prompt? What's the point of doing this? Does the process started this way has its own console?
Thanks in advance.

Bronson is a 2008 British fictionalised biographical film co-written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Tom Hardy. The film follows the life of notorious prisoner Michael Gordon Peterson, who was renamed Charles Bronson by his fight promoter. Born into a respectable middle-class family, Peterson would nevertheless become one of the United Kingdom's most dangerous criminals, and is known for having spent almost his entire adult life in solitary confinement. Bronson is narrated with humour, blurring the line between comedy and horror. Wikipedia

This invention relates to temperature probes, and more particularly to one which includes a mineral insulated temperature sensor or transducer and means for sealing the end of the mineral insulation.
Mineral insulated temperature sensors or transducers are well known. One type is a thermocouple comprising two wires of different metals having a junction buried in a body of compacted mineral insulation, enclosed is a protective tubing or casing. The protected junction is subjected to heat in use and the wires extending therefrom are connected to an electrical circuit which by measuring the thermoelectric current produced at such junction indicates the temperature at that point.
Another type is a resistance temperature device comprising a length of platinum wire, the resistance of which varies by heat, also buried in a body of compacted mineral insulation enclosed in a protective tube or housing, from which lead wires extend for connection to a suitable resistant-measuring bridge.
With both such types of temperature sensors, the mineral insulation employed is usually compacted magnesium oxide, selected because of its high insulation properties. However, magnesium oxide is hygroscopic and therefore must be kept dry in order to protect the integrity of the temperature sensor. With both mentioned types of temperature sensors, the body of magnesium oxide terminates in an end face from which wires extend outwardly and through which end face moisture can enter unless sealed.
The present invention is concerned with means for sealing the moisture-sensitive end face of the temperature sensor. Many attempts to effectively seal such temperature sensors have been made prior to the advent of the present invention which have not been fully successful or satisfactory.
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a temperature probe in which a mineral insulated temperature sensor is effectively sealed to keep the end face of the mineral insulation dry.
Another object is to provide such a temperature probe which can be easily mounted on a supporting structure.
A further object is to provide such a temperature probe which is relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
The present invention provides a temperature probe comprising temperature sensing means including wires, a metal casing and a body of mineral insulation surrounding said wires and compressed thereagainst by said casing, said wires extending outwardly beyond the end of said body, means for sealing such outer end of said body of mineral insulation including a metal tubular housing, means for sealingly connecting said housing at one end to said casing, a body of sealant material transversely filling said housing at its other end and having an inner end spaced from said outer end of said mineral insulation body to leave a space therebetween and lead wires extending through said body of sealant material and therebeyond at both ends, said lead wires being in spaced relation to one another and to said housing, said body of sealant material being compressed by said housing against said lead wires, and means within said space electrically joining said lead wires to said sensor wires.
The foregoing objects and other advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a temperature sensor having wires connected to lead wires extending through bodies of sealant material, and representing an intermediate subassembly of elements preparatory to providing a seal for the exposed end of the mineral insulation in the temperature sensor.
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal view of the subassembly shown in FIG. 1, and additionally showing in longitudinal section a metal tubular housing surrounding at one end the casing of the sensor and at its other end surrounding the sealant bodies, this view representing another subassembly prior to swaging of the metal housing.
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the condition of the sealant bodies and the metal housing following swaging.
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the inventive temperature probe fully assembled.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary enlarged portion of FIG. 1 and showing the illustrated means for electrically joining a lead wire to a sensor wire.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the mineral insulated temperature sensor shown in FIG. 1 and taken on line 6--6 thereof.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the subassembly shown in FIG. 1 and taken on line 7--7 thereof.
FIG. 8 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the subassembly shown in FIG. 2 prior to swaging and taken on line 8--8 thereof.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the swaged assembly shown in FIG. 3 and taken on line 9--9 thereof.
The numeral 10 represents generally temperature sensing means including wires 11 and 12, a metal casing 13, and a body of mineral insulation 14 surrounding wires 11,12 and compressed thereagainst by casing 13. This casing is a length of tubing, preferably made of stainless steel, shown as having a closed left end 15 and an open right end 16. Insulating body 14 is shown as filling casing 13, maintaining sensor wires 11,12 in spaced relation and in spaced relation to the casing, and terminating in an exposed end face 18 substantially flush with casing end 16. Insulating body 14 is preferably magnesium oxide and is compacted within casing 13 by a drawing or swaging operation performed on this casing, as is well known in the art.
Temperature sensor 10 may be a thermocouple type or a resistance temperature device type, both of which are well known in the art. Illustrated for simplicity is the thermocouple type since it only has two sensor wires 11,12. In the case of a resistance temperature device, there would be three or four sensor wires.
It is the principal purpose of the present invention to effectively seal off the exposed end face 18 of the mineral insulation, while permitting electrical connection to be made to sensor wires 11,12. To this end, a pair of heavier lead wires 19 and 20 of the desired length are provided for sensor wires 11 and 12, respectively. The wire materials are matched so that corresponding wire pair 11 and 19 are the same material, and the other wire pair 12 and 20 are of the same material. These materials will be of dissimilar metals, such as copper and constantan, in the case of a thermocouple, and of similar metals, such as copper, in the case of a resistance temperature device.
The portions of sensor wires 11,12 extending outwardly beyond the coterminous end faces 16,18 are cut to provide staggered lengths as shown in FIG. 1 and their end portions are bared as indicated at 11' for the wire detailed in FIG. 5. The stagger or longitudinal offset of the outer ends of cut wires 11,12 is about 1/4 inch. The end portions of the corresponding lead wires 19,20 are bared as indicated at 19' for the wire 19 detailed in FIG. 5. The corresponding bared wire portions are overlapped about 1/8 inch and silver brazed at 21 to provide a joint as shown in FIG. 5. These silver brazed joints are carefully made to avoid sharp edges or protrusions that might pierce a heat shrink tubing 22 next to be applied.
A length of heat shrink tubing 22 of polyolefin material is slid over each joint 21 and butted tightly up against insulation end face 18, and then shrunk in place. The length of tubing 22 is sufficient to completely cover each joint and embrace portions of the wires on opposite sides of the joint. The right ends of heat shrink tubings 22 are substantially coplanar. Typically, tubing 22 is about 13/4 inches long when heat shrunk in position.
Thereafter, a plurality of cylindrical sealant bodies 23, preformed with a pair of spaced through holes 24 and 25, are threaded over wires 19 and 20. Lead wire 19 extends through aligned holes 24, and lead wire 20 extends through aligned holes 25. The first or leftmost body 23 butts up against the coplanar right ends of heat shrunk tubings or sleeves 22. Referring to FIG. 1, six such bodies 23 are shown threaded on lead wires 19,20 which extend outwardly beyond the outer or right end face of the rightmost body 23.
Sealant bodies 23 severally are made of any suitable thermoplastic material, preferably polysulfone. Since it is difficult to drill long holes in this material, relatively short individual sealant bodies are utilized and arranged in a string on the lead wires. Referring to FIG. 1, six sealant bodies 23 are shown each about 1 inch long and about 7/16 inch in diameter, having squared off ends abutting the ends of the adjacent bodies. Threading the six bodies 23 on lead wires 19,20 necessarily aligns their companion through holes 24 and 25 on these wires.
A metal termination tube 26, preferably made of stainless steel, is next slid over sensor 10 from left to right. Tube 26 includes a cylindrical left end section 28 of reduced diameter, a rightwardly enlarging tapered neck section 29, and a relatively long enlarged cylindrical right end section 30. Section 28 has an inside diameter only slightly larger than the outside diameter of sensor 10. Right end section is sized transversely to leave a small clearance 31 around bodies 23. If sensor 10 typically has an outside diameter of about 1/4 inch, left end section 28 has an outside diameter of about 3/8 inch and an axial length of about 1 inch; intermediate tapered section 29 has an axial length of about 11/2 inches; and right end section 30 has before swaging an ouside diameter of about 5/8 inch and an axial length of about 53/4 inches.
Termination tube 26 is positioned axially on the subassembly shown in FIG. 1 so that the inner end of left end section 28 is about transversely aligned with end faces 16,18, thereby overlapping casing 13 about 1 inch. Tube 26 is then silver brazed continuously circumferentially to casing 13, as indicated at 32.
Following such brazing, the right end section 30 of the termination tube is swaged by passing the assembly shown in FIG. 2 leftwardly through the opening of a swaging die 33. This swaging operation reduces the diameter of right end section 30 so as to compress the sealant bodies 23 about lead wires 19,20. Typically, the cross sectional area of sealant bodies 23 before swaging is reduced from 10% to 28% after swaging, preferably about 17%. This provides an effective seal against moisture and gas axially along the interface between inner wall surface of section 30 and bodies 23, and along the interfaces between these bodies and lead wires 19,20. The various compressed sealant bodies are in effect unitized into a single body represented by the numeral 123 in FIG. 3. Thus, the sealant body 123 transversely fills or occupies the full cross sectional area of the swaged tube section 30, excluding, of course, the cross sectional areas occupied by the separated lead wires 19,20 which extend completely through this sealant body, whereby the outer end of this tube section is sealingly plugged while allowing the lead wires to extend outwardly therefrom.
During such swaging, the rightmost sealant body 23R is positioned to hold the other bodies 23 to its left tightly butted against each other and against heat shrunk tubing 22. At commencement of the swaging, body 23R projects from the right end of termination tube 26 about half its length or about 1/2 inch, as shown in FIG. 2. However, during swaging, the right end section 30 of tube 26 elongates, as do the sealant bodies 23 due to their radial compression, such that the body 23R is completely displaced from tube 26 and a portion of the next innermost sealant body is exposed as indicated at 23' in FIG. 3. Body 23R is then removed by sliding it rightwardly off the exposed portions of lead wires 19,20.
The completed assembly is illustrated in side elevation in FIG. 4 and provides a sealed temperature probe. It will be noted that the swaged termination tube, represented by the numeral 26', now serves as a tubular housing, sealed exteriorly at its left end to sensor casing 13 and sealed internally along its right end portion to lead wires 19,20. If desired, a length of heat shrink material can be placed over the exposed portions of lead wires 19,20 as they emerge from the sealant body 23', and for most of their length, as indicated at 34 in FIG. 4.
In use, the left closed or temperature sensing end 15 of the probe is positioned where desired to measure temperature. Casing 13 may be as long as desired. Housing 26', being exteriorly cylindrical, is adapted to be mounted on any suitable support (not shown) by suitable mounting means, not shown because forming no part of the present invention. Exemplary mounting means are shown in FIG. 7 of and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,601,526.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that the preferred embodiment of temperature probe illustrated accomplishes all of the stated objects of the invention. Other variations and modifications in the illustrated temperature probe may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is to be measured by the appended claims.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
