Facebook is facing a federal lawsuit based on their practice of sending text messages to people who have been given recycled cell phone numbers.
Washington, D.C. resident Christine Holt is not a Facebook member. Nonetheless, when she got a new cell phone number, she began receiving text messages from the social network. The messages asked Holt what she was up to and kept her up to date on the activities of her "friends." Holt requested that the company stop sending her text messages, but the practice continued.
Because Holt's new cell phone number was previously used by someone else, it seems likely that the text messages are actually aimed at that prior user, who probably granted Facebook with permission to send messages. However, Holt never granted such permission, and she became annoyed when her requests that the company desist seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Holt hired Edelson, PC to represent her in a potential class action lawsuit. The complaint speculates that there may be thousands of potential class members who are receiving the same nuisance text messages. The practice is particularly troublesome because many of these people are not Facebook users. This provides them with extremely limited options when it comes to contacting the company. Ostensibly, the new owner of the cell phone number should be able to text "stop" to the offending number, which should effectively remove them from the autodial list. When this doesn't work, frustrated people are left with little choice but to take legal action.
Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, it is illegal for companies to embark on a text-messaging campaign without first obtaining written permission from the recipient. Violation of this law can result in a $500 fine per incident. With the social network sending multiple messages to potentially thousands of cell phone users, the damages to the company could be significant.
This situation makes it clear that it is always best to proceed with caution when it comes to contacting potential customers via text messaging. Relying on obtaining written permission is always the best way to go to avoid potential legal action.

New Jersey Fly Fishing Report July 14th- July 21st 2016
Updated 7/14/2016-JH
Shannon's 2016 Stocking Effort & River News . . .
Shannon's River Update: Shannon's and Trout Unlimited have partnered to stock Point Mountain TCA with trout. 200 12-15 inch Rainbows were stocked recently.
Sporadic Isonychia (Slate Drakes) with more Light Cahills hatching in the evening. Good numbers of Golden Stones and some Yellow Sallies along with some larger Brown Stoneflies hatching especially in fast rocky sections such as KLG.
Warm weather has made trout fishing tough. We have been getting some rain but the heat wave is on. Pay careful attention to "Stream Conditions" page! Morning fishing can be outstanding right now but monitor stream temperatures with a thermometer and quit fishing when the water reaches 70 degrees. Stop by to see our selection of warmwater bass and panfish patterns.
Caddis, Tricos and BWO's in the morning, Summer Sulphurs, Light Cahills and Slate Drakes at dusk.
It's time to think about terrestrials: Ants, Hoppers and Beetles
Some nice holdover fish left over from last year's holiday stockings.
If you don't believe me then check out last year's video.
All of our trout are purchased from Vern and Jeff Mancini at The Musky Hatchery in Asbury, NJ and are certified disease free. Thank you to all of our donors who have contributed so generously. Also, we are grateful for the support and assistance of Affinity Federal Credit Union in supporting our effort.
Please help us keep up the efforts, and click the "donate" button. Every little bit helps!
General Hatches, Fly Recommendations and Tips . . .
Hatch Update: In low water, look for Tricos in the morning at first light followed by caddis after 9am. Check water temps and give the fish a break after temps reach 70 degrees.
the day: Fish
tandem rigs to improve your nymphing success. Fish
nymphs and emergers or midges in tandem. I always
prefer to fish the larger fly first, but to each their own. The
easiest way is to tie the first fly on as usual then attach the
second by using a clinch knot tied to the bend of the first
fly. Space the flies about twenty inches apart. It is also a good idea to
balance your tandems by keeping them within a couple of hook sizes
of each other. Use enough weight to keep the flies just off the bottom
drifting slowly. Drag free drifts are a must now. Keep as little fly
line on the water as possible and pay attention! Strikes may be
subtle or fierce. If using a strike indicator, place it one and a half to
twice the depth of the water you are fishing from the first fly. Any
additional weight should be about six to eight inches from the first
fly. Streamers: Muddler
Minnows, Woolly
Buggers, Grey Ghost, Black Nose Dace,
and Zonkers if the water is off color. Work them slowly!
Note: I use larger nymphs and bead-heads when the water is higher and less weight when water drops. On the South Branch, use the heavier flies when the stream flow exceeds about 175-185 cfs.

The Perl Debugger
There are two ways to execute the code. We know that the current line is 3 and is an if statement. The first method, s, is to step through the code, statement by statement. The other method is n, for next, which similarly steps through the code; however, in the case where the current statement is a subroutine call (as opposed to a built-in function or some sort of variable assignment), n will treat the subroutine as though it were a built-in function and will step over the subroutine, as if it is an atomic command. In contrast, s will enter the subroutine and step through every line of the subroutine. It will do the same for any subroutines encountered within the first one. This can be annoying when we know that the subroutine is working correctly—hence the n command. For this simple example, where we have no subroutines, n has the same effect as s. After entering s or n, we can simply press enter, and the debugger will reissue the last s or the last n command. This is useful to get through lines of code quickly. Pressing s displays the following:
main::(./p1.pl:7): while ($i < 10) {
Notice that we've skipped from line 3 to line 7. Enter l 3+4. This shows us four lines from line 3. We skipped to line 7 because the conditional in line 3, if(0), is false. So the then part of the conditional is ignored, and the else portion is executed.
Notice that there is a variable in the code, $i. We know that the body of the while loop will be executed until $i is greater than or equal to 10. (Enter l 7+10 to see the body of the while loop.)
So what value does $i have now? Type p $i. The print command is p, and without an argument; it will print the contents of the magic Perl variable $_. Any valid Perl expression is a valid argument to p. Because anything that the debugger doesn't recognize as a debugger command is evaluated as Perl code, you could also type print instead of p. Don't worry about having redirected standard output to something other than your screen. The debugger will take care to ensure that you'll see some output. But, typing p is quicker than typing print, and as any good programmer knows, laziness is one of the "programmer's virtues", the other two being hubris and impatience (Larry Wall, see Resources).
Typing p $i results in nothing. No, we didn't do anything wrong. $i hasn't been set to anything, so it gets the default value of nothing. Type s (or just press enter). Try p $i again. It should print the number 1. Press enter again and type p $i again. Now, we could continue this, but we know that we will keep spinning in this while loop until the conditional returns false, which won't happen until $i is no longer less than 10. And, as I said before, impatience is another programmer's virtue, so we'll rush things along a bit. Enter $i = 8, then press enter again. Do it one more time, and we've broken free of the loop.
The last conditional checks that $i is at least equal to 9. Because it now is, the then portion of the if statement will not get executed. Note that we could have set $i back to 2 before we execute the final if statement. The result would have been an execution that under normal conditions (i.e., without using the debugger) could never have occurred (assuming the computer is working properly, and no bits in memory get fiddled).
As any good first program should, our first debug program prints Hello, World! to the screen. Notice that even under the debugger, this happens as it should. Pressing enter one more time terminates the program.
The code in Listing 2 is a more complex piece of code with a bug in it. It should print out every regular file in the current directory and all subdirectories, recursively. Right now, it only prints the files in the current directory and doesn't seem to delve into further subdirectories.
Execute this program in a directory with a few subdirectories and place files and further subdirectories in these subdirectories to create a small but diverse hierarchy.
The output of this code (once the bug gets fixed) from the directories I ran it in, looked like this:
./file1 ./dir1.0/file1 ./dir1.0/file2 ./dir1.0/file3 ./dir1.0/dir1.1/file1 ./dir1.0/dir1.1/file2 ./dir1.0/dir1.1/file3 ./dir2.0/file1 ./dir2.0/file2 ./dir2.0/file3 ./dir2.0/dir2.1/file1 ./dir2.0/dir2.1/file2 ./dir3.0/file1

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

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

Alpinestars - Legendary Innovation
Sante Mazzarolo founded Alpinestars in 1963 in Asolo, Italy first making hiking and ski boots. Two years later the company introduced its first motorcycle boot - it included an innovative steel shin protector and a buckle closure system rather than laces.
A decade later, Alpinestars marketed protective boots featuring toe sliders and enhanced levels of protection for the motorcycle road racing circuit giving the company a loyal following. In the 1990s, Alpinestars rolled out additional protective gear including gloves, jackets and full leather suits.
In 2011, Alpinestars unveiled perhaps the most innovative line of protection ever seen by the motorcycle world. Popular Science magazine gave the company a "Best of What's New" award for the Tech Air Race Suit. Available to the public, the Tech Air Race Suit is a state-of-the-art fully functional airbag system. The technology Alpinestars created monitors the rider's movements and determines when a crash is imminent and deploys airbags along the shoulders and collarbone in milliseconds.

The Big East Defensive Player of the Year did more than just rack up tackle after tackle, to the tune of 125 on the season. He also ranks second in the nation with six forced fumbles, led his team with 5.5 sacks, broke up five passes and had two interceptions from his weakside spot. He essentially doubled his career sacks and forced fumbles in the span of 12 games. There is no defensive player in his league as consistent or as good.

This paper develops a method for calculating the angular distribution (AD) of multiply scattered photons through isotropic turbid slabs. Extension to anisotropic scattering is also discussed. Previous studies have recognized that the AD of multiply scattered photons is critical for many applications, such as the design of imaging optics and estimation of image quality. This paper therefore develops a closed-from method that can accurately calculate the AD over a wide range of conditions. Other virtues of the method include its simplicity in implementation and its prospective for extension to anisotropic scattering.
1. Introduction
Multiple scattering (due to Mie scattering) represents a fundamental problem with applications in a wide spectrum of practical systems, ranging from imaging through biological tissues [1], remote sensing in the atmosphere [2], and development of laser diagnostics for dense sprays [3]. Consequently, this problem has attracted a considerable amount of research efforts from different disciplines. In many of these applications, the angular distribution (AD) of the multiply scattered photons plays an important role. For example, the AD plays a critical role in designing the imaging system involving multiple scattering, such as the selection of the lens [4], estimation of the detection limit and resolution [5, 6], and the application of angular filtering [7]. Furthermore, practical applications typically involve an optimization facet, which requires the AD to be computed a great many times. Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a simple (preferably closed-form) method to calculate the AD efficiently.
Fundamentally, the multiple scattering problem requires one to solve the wave equation in a system of a large number of scatterers, which is extremely difficult [8]. Under certain assumptions, the problem can be simplified and the so-called radiative transfer equation (RTE) can be derived [9]. However, even the solution of the simplified RTE is difficult under most non-ideal conditions (e.g., realistic geometry). Thus various approximate solution techniques, both theoretical and numerical, have been developed [4, 8, 10–12]. The theoretical techniques seek analytical solutions to the RTE under certain approximations [13]. For instance, under large optical thickness, the photon diffusion model [4, 10] approximates the multiple scattering problem as a diffusion problem. Another example, the random walk model [11, 14] approximates the multiple scattering problem as a random walk process. These models result in analytical expressions that can be used to predict the spatial and temporal distribution of multiply scattered photons. However, these analytical expressions can be regarded as semi-closed-form (at lease from the perspective of practical applications). For example, these expressions typically involve special functions and summation of infinite series [10, 11, 15], which complicates implementation. Furthermore, much of the analytical work did not target the AD specifically, and therefore application of the previous results to calculate the AD requires extension work, sometimes considerable extension work.
The numerical techniques solve the RTE computationally and a major limitation is the computation cost. The Monte Carlo (MC) technique provides a notable example of the numerical technique. The MC technique has been demonstrated as a powerful tool, capable of solving multiple scattering problems under realistic conditions and resolving quantities that are difficult to study experimentally [12, 16–18]. However, the MC technique encounters considerable challenges in terms of computational cost, especially at relatively large optical depths. The challenge is especially acute for calculating the AD, because resolving the AD requires receiving sufficient photon counts in a small angular range out of the transmitted photons, which are already a small fraction of incident photons at large optical depth (illustrated by the results in Section 3).
The goal of this paper is therefore to develop a closed-form method to calculate the AD of multiply scattered photons. Closed-form expressions are derived to calculate the AD of photons transmitted from isotropic turbid slabs, based on which, the average cosine and fraction of photons within a given acceptance angle (numerical aperture) can be readily calculated. The results obtained from the method were compared against MC data, and good agreement is achieved over a wide range of optical depths. The method is simple to implement and highly efficient, suitable for application in a range of practical applications. Section 2 describes the method. Section 3 reports the results and discusses the extension of the current method to anisotropic scatterers. Finally, Section 4 summarizes the paper.
2. Description of the method
Figure 1 illustrates the schematic of the multiple scattering problem and the MC configuration used in this work. As shown in Panel (a), incident photons enter an infinitely large turbid slab as a pencil beam. The slab, with thickness Z, contains isotropic scatterers. Note that isotropic slabs in this work mean the scatterers are isotropic and the distribution of the scatterers in the slab is also isotropic (i.e., uniform). All length scales in this work are expressed in units of the mean scattering length, i.e., , where (mm-1) represents the scattering coefficient of the scattering media. The plane on which the incident photons enter is named the Incident Plane (IP), and the opposite plane named the Exit Plane (EP). After a certain number of scattering events, the incident photons exit either via the IP (as reflected photons) or via the EP (as transmitted photons). Here we focus on the AD of the transmitted photons, and extension of the method to calculate the AD of the reflected photons is straightforward.
Fig. 1
The MC simulation in this work approximates the infinitely large slab by a rectangle slab, whose width and height are both 100 × of its thickness as shown in Panel (a). This approximation is justified by the fact that for all cases simulated, the fraction of photons leaked via the sides is less than 10−6. This work used a standard MC model as described in [16], and the implementation of the model largely follows [12]. The MC model involves the following four major steps: 1) it sends incident photons into the IP one by one, 2) it determines the scattering direction and pathlength of the incident photon stochastically to calculate the location of the photon after a scattering event, 3) it repeats step 2) until the photon exits the slab, and 4) it registers the location and orientation of each photon that exits. The MC model terminates after a sufficient number of exit photons have been registered to determine the AD with acceptable statistical accuracy, which corresponds to a number of incident photons on the order of 107 in this work. The free scattering pathlength in the MC model was taken to be exponentially distributed, with the mean free pathlength equal to.
A Cartesian coordinate system is defined as shown in Panel (b), where the z-axis is perpendicular to the EP. The origin is defined to be on the EP, and the positive of the z-axis points towards the IP. The scattering angle of a transmitted photon (θ) is defined as the angle formed relative to the negative z-axis after its last scattering event (illustrated by photon 1). Under these definitions, the AD function (QT(θ)) of the transmitted photons is:Eq. (1) divides the slab into a series of infinitely thin slices (each with thickness dz), and calculates the AD of all transmitted photons by averaging the AD of the photons that undergo their last scattering event at each slice.
With the pathlength assumed to be exponentially distributed, it can be shown that:19] defined as. Equation (2) can be explained using photon [REMOVED EQ FIELD] shown in Panel (b) of Fig. 1. Suppose the photon undergoes its last scattering event at an angle of θ. In order for it to be transmitted, its free scattering pathlength needs to be longer than z/cosθ as shown, which has a probability of exp(-z/cosθ), because the free scattering pathlength is exponentially distributed. Normalization of this probability leads to Eq. (2). Equation (2) is validated by MC data, with an example set of comparison shown in Panel (b) of Fig. 2 .
Fig. 2
The rigorous derivation is of Qz is more complicated. Here we derive Qz under some simplifications, and then briefly discuss the rigorous derivation; though the results derived under these simplifications are already in reasonable agreement with MC data. The first simplification is to assume that the transmitted photons are always scattered at θ = 0 by the last scattering event (i.e., they all exit along the negative z-axis as photon 2. This appears to be a dramatic simplification, however, its validity on isotropic scatterers have been well demonstrated in previous work where a random walker on a lattice is used to model multiple scattering [11, 14]. Also note that this simplification is only invoked for the derivation of Qz (one step in the derivation of the AD), and does not imply that the AD is a delta-function. The second simplification assumes that all transmitted photons exit exactly on the EP. With these simplifications, Qz could be understood as the distribution of photons with respect to z after one scattering event along the positive z-axis if the photons were injected into the slab on the EP. With this understanding, because the photon pathlength is exponentially distributed, Qz is:Fig. 2., Eq. (3) agrees reasonably well with the MC data, and the agreement improves with the optical depth (OD) of the sample.
The constant, C in Eq. (1), depends on how the AD is normalized. If the AD is normalized relative to the transmitted photons, i.e. , then C = 1. One could alternatively normalize QT(θ) relative to the incident photons such that = fraction of photons that are transmitted (i.e., transmittance). In this case, it can be shown that [11]:Eqs. (2) through (4) into Eq. (1) yields the final expression for QT:Eq. (3) above. A thorough treatment of this extension is undergoing.
3. Results and discussions
Figure 3 shows the AD of the transmitted photons calculated using Eq. (5) compared to MC data. As shown in Fig. 3, the method developed above agrees with MC data across a wide range of OD. Two interesting observations can also be made: 1) the AD is peaked towards θ = 90° at small OD (Panel (a)), and 2) after OD becomes larger than 5, the AD becomes insensitive to OD (Panel (b)). The first observation can be explained by noting that at small OD (e.g., 0.1), photons undergo fewer scattering events to be transmitted and consequently are more likely to exit at large angles (if they do exit). The second observation can be explained by noting that at large OD, photons undergo a large number of scattering events and their directions become completely randomized, resulting in the AD's insensitivity.
Fig. 3
With the validity of Eq. (5) confirmed, other properties of interest can be readily calculated. For example, the average cosine of the transmitted photons can be expressed as:Eq. (6) are shown in Panel (a), Fig. 4 , in comparison to MC data. Again, good agreement (within −0.5 to 1.5%) is observed in a wide range of OD and the insensitivity with respect to OD is observed for OD larger than ~5.
Fig. 4
Another quantity of interest to the design of imaging optics is the fraction of photons that can be collected. Such fraction can be calculated by, where θa is the acceptance angle defined by the imaging system. For a simple lens, θa is determined by the diameter of the lens and the distance between the lens and the EP. Example calculations are shown in Panel (b) and (c) of Fig. 4. As can be seen, the calculation from Eq. (5) agrees well with the MC data (within −1 to 4%). At a θa of 1.5°, the fraction of transmitted photons within this angle varies between 4 × 10−4 to 8 × 10−4, i.e., on average, one photon exits within θ < 1.5° out of ~1250 to 2500 transmitted photons. Only a fraction of the incident photons are transmitted. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the MC techniques can be prohibitively expensive when applied simulate the AD of multiply scattered photons, especially at relatively large OD; and the method developed above can overcome such computational limitation.
Lastly, we discuss the simplifications made in the derivation of Qz, and the extension of the method to anisotropic scatterers. As shown in Fig. 2 (Panels (b) and (c)), the two simplifications made in the derivation of Eq. (4) results in more slow decay of Qz compared to the MC data. Such discrepancy can be addressed by either empirically fitting the MC data to obtain Qz, or by removing the simplifications. The former approach is straightforward and our results have shown that an empirically fitted Qz can improve the agreement for calculations shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The latter approach is closely related to the extension to anisotropic scatterers. Equation (5) is fundamental and applicable for anisotropic scatterers. However, derivation of P and Qz need to be modified because of the directionality of the scattering for anisotropic scatterers. It has been shown previously that certain scaling laws based on the asymmetric factor of the scatterers can be used to extend isotropic models [11, 14] to anisotropic scatterers, and we plan to apply these scaling laws in the derivation of the AD.
4. Summary
In summary, this paper develops a method for calculating the AD of multiply scattered photons through isotropic turbid slabs. A closed-form method has been developed and validated using MC data over a wide range of conditions. Based on this method, various quantities of interest to multiple scattering can be readily calculated to aid the design of imaging optics. Calculating the AD using numerical techniques encounters significant computational limitations at relatively large OD. These limitations become especially acute when one needs to optimize the design of the imaging optics iteratively, or to solve the inverse scattering problem. The method developed here, due to its simplicity in implementation, can overcome these limitations; and we therefore expect it to be a valuable tool to study multiple scattering.

Politics Letter from Colorado
posted by April 17 at 14:37 PMon
Once upon a time everything we knew about Colorado we learned watching Mork & Mindy. Then one day the American Evangelical Movement upped and move to Colorado, turning Colorado Springs into their batshitcrazy Vatican, and in 1992 Colorado voters passed an anti-gay-rights amendment to their state constitution. (It was later overturned by the US Supreme Court.) Colorado voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004.
So Colorado—it's a red state, right?
Maybe not. Something is up in Colorado. In the last few weeks Colorado state legislators—did you know that Colorado has a Dem governor and that Dems control both houses of the Colorado legislature?—passed a pro-gay adoption law; now state legislators are moving on a law that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace.
What's going on in Colorado? I put that question to Noel Black, one of the crazed geniuses behind the late, great Toilet Paper and now Newspeak, and a resident of Colorado Springs. Here's Noel's take:
Yes, it's a good questions why Colorado is suddenly a bastion of pro-gay state legislation like THIS, and THIS.
We've got a Dem in the governor's mansion (Bill Ritter) and a Dem controlled house and senate. In all honesty, I have no fucking idea why this is happening beyond what my "work spouse" (isn't that a disgusting term!?), Aaron Retka, posted HERE. Pointed out as the obvious, Retka says: Ted Haggard pretty much ruined the credibility of evangelicals everywhere, George Bush and the Republicans on the national level are fuckin' up the program for lesser neo-cons everywhere, the war is dumb, etc.
Jay Ferguson, a friend who works for the rapidly growing El Paso Country Democratic Party here in Colorado Springs, notes that, "the thing that's interesting in Colorado is that if you look at it is as a whole, we're basically divided neatly into thirds between dems, republicans and independents. So it really just depends on which way the wind is blowing." He believes the numbers show that Colorado will continue to blow even farther blue for forseeable future.
He also pointed out that social issues aren't on people's minds right now as much as things like water, and our lack of it. And Ritter ran on energy and water. A lot of the new democratic legislators also ran on issues of energy and they tend pragmatically progressive. Jay also suggested that many repubs may have voted for Ritter and other democratic legislators because if we run out of water, the housing boom will end and wealthy areas like Castle Rock and South Denver are going to be hard hit.
Now, there's the paradox of Referendum I, which was also on the ballot in November 06 and got beat
60/4053/47. That ref would've legalized civil unions for same-sex couples, and polls at the time suggested that it had about a 50/50 shot at passage. Jay again pointed out an odd fact about the way Colorado voters tend to behave at the polls: We almost always vote no on amendments we don't fully understand or don't think can be reversed. Interestingly, says Jay, Ref I simple didn't motivate a lot of voters and didn't end up being a wedge at all. So, even though Ref I lost in the election, polls indicated that there was enough political will to begin passing progressive protections for queers in the legislature.
It is intersting that the Dems will be holding their convention in Denver in 08. I think they see Colorado as a model for state tipping.

1. Field of the Invention
The present application relates to audio devices. More particularly, the present application relates to a method and apparatus that provides quick access to previously selected audio.
2. Description of the Related Art
Receivers are typically used in stationary environments, such as in a house, and in mobile environments, such as in an automobile, for the reception of radio frequencies on different bands. Receivers may also include integral or external hardware associated with supplemental audio devices including, but not limited to, analog cassette tapes, digital compact discs (CD's), and other digital devices, such as a Layer-3 digital audio compression algorithm Motion Picture Experts Group standard device (i.e. an MP3 device).
It is known that conventional receivers often include a plurality of manually-coded preset radio channel buttons. Typically, these manually-coded buttons are grouped on the face of the receiver, proximate a band-toggle button, such as an amplitude modulation (AM)/frequency modulation (FM) button. Prior to receiving radio signals for output over speakers, a user manually codes the preset buttons to their favorite radio stations such that quick, easy access is provided to obviate the manual tuning or scanning of the entire AM or FM band, which ranges from 540 kHz to 1700 kHz in 10-kHz steps and 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz in 200-KHz steps, respectively.
Although adequate for most situations, selectable alternatives to AM and FM radio are available on a receiver. For example, a premium subscription service known as Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services (SDARS) is available for most users in addition to the integral or external audio components mentioned above, such as CD's, MP3's, and the like. As such, a need exists for improving conventional receivers so as to provide quick access to previously-selected audio.
The inventors of the present invention have recognized these and other problems associated with conventional receivers. The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
The receiver 10 also includes one or a plurality of band-toggle buttons 26, a seek button 28, a tune/fast-forward/rewind button 30, a manual-coding set button 32, and a plurality of manual coding program select preset buttons 34-42. In operation, a user manually codes the preset buttons 34-42 by firstly tuning a radio station by pressing the seek button 28 or tune button 30, then, upon locating a desired radio station, the user beings the manual coding operation by pressing the set button 32 and then pressing the desired preset button 34-42 to associate the desired user-selected station with one of the pressed buttons 34-42. Referring to
As a result, for example, during the operation of the receiver 10, a user may quickly change "current audio" from a station being broadcast on 97.9 MHz to a "new current audio" being broadcast on 101.1 MHz by simply pressing the fifth preset button 42, which thereby obviates the tuning of any intermediate stations between 97.9 MHz and 101.1 MHz. According to the above-described description, "current audio" is defined to mean any type of audio that is being received by the receiver for output by speakers (not shown) to the user prior to the pressing one or more of the buttons 24-44 on the receiver 10 to make a first audio selection, and "new current audio" is defined to mean any type of audio that is being received by the receiver 10 for output by speakers to the user after the user presses one or more of the buttons 24-44 on the receiver to make a second audio selection.
In another embodiment, if the user wishes to tune from "current audio" on station 96.3 MHz to "new current audio" being broadcast on 760 kHz, the user may have to firstly press the band-toggle button 26, which automatically tunes the receiver 10 from "current audio" on 96.3 MHz to "new current audio" on 950 kHz (i.e., since 96.3 MHz and 950 kHz are associated with preset button 38), then, the user may have to press the first preset button 34, which would automatically tune the receiver 10 from "new current audio" on 950 kHz to "new current audio" on 760 kHz. Alternatively, the user may firstly press the first preset button 34 such that "current audio" on station 96.3 MHz is switched to "new current audio" on station 88.7 MHz within the FM band, then, the user presses the band-toggle button 26 such that the "new current audio" is band-changed from 88.7 MHz on the FM band to the desired "new current audio" being broadcast on 760 kHz on the AM band (i.e., since 88.7 MHz and 760 kHz are associated with preset button 34).
According to an embodiment of the invention, an input controller, such as an audio recall button 44, provides additional flexibility for operating the receiver 10. The audio recall button 44, in combination with dynamic coding logic associated with the receiver 10, provides a user with quick access to any type of audio that becomes dynamically associated with the recall button 44. Because the recall button 44 is dynamically coded by logic that is associated with the receiver 10, the recall button 44 is never manually coded by a user. According to another aspect of the invention, the audio recall button 44 may instantaneously recall previously listened-to "current audio" on an AM station when the user is currently listening to "new current audio" on an FM station. In another example, the audio recall button 44 may instantaneously recall previously listened-to "current audio" from a CD, MP3 device, or the like, when the user is listening to "new current audio" being broadcast on an AM band, an FM band, an SDARS band, or the like. As such, the audio recall button 44 is not restricted to recalling "current audio" on different frequency bands, but rather, permits the instantaneous recollection of "current audio" from CD's, MP3's, the AM band, the FM band, the SDARS band, and the like.
Referring initially to
Then, at step S3.3, in another optional step, an external audio device, such as a CD (not shown), may be inserted into the external audio device port 20. At step S3.3, although the phrase "insert external audio device" is used to describe the insertion of a CD, being software, step S3.3 is not limited to the insertion of a CD. For example, step S3.3 may also be interpreted to be the interfacing of an external device, such as an MP3 player, a CD changer, or the like, that is interfaced with the receiver 10.
At step S3.4, "current audio" is selected, for example, by pressing the mode button 24 to activate the CD, or, for example, by tuning, seeking, or preset selecting a specified radio station by pressing any one, or a sequential combination of buttons identified at reference numerals 24-42 to choose the "current audio." Then, at step S3.5, the selected "current audio" is evaluated by the receiver 10 and broadcast over speakers to the user. Then, at step S3.6, a recall counter associated with a microprocessor is initialized such that the microprocessor may determine the amount of time the "current audio" is being listened to by a user.
Referring to
If the recall counter did not reach the X value, the algorithm is looped from step S3.11 to step S3.5; however, if the recall counter did reach the X value, audio information located in the temporary memory location discussed in step S3.9 is saved in the "recall memory" location in the microprocessor at step S3.12 to thereby dynamically code the recall button 44. Information that is stored in recall memory at step S3.12 may include, but is not limited to, an AM station frequency, an FM station frequency, an SDARS station frequency, a CD/MP3 track number, a specific time of a CD/MP3 track number, or the like. After step S3.12, the microprocessor is advanced to back to step S3.5 to repeat the loop again for evaluation of the user-selected "new current audio." Accordingly, if the "new current audio," which is now essentially the second user-selected audio, is listened to for X or more seconds, the recall button 44 may be dynamically re-programmed to be associated with the "new current audio."
Referring to step S3.10, when the recall button 44 is pressed during the operation of the algorithm, the microprocessor identifies the audio information stored in recall memory according to steps S3.2 or S3.12, and then subsequently selects the audio information in recall memory at step S3.13. Upon selecting the audio information in step S3.13, the algorithm is loop back to step S3.5. Accordingly, the audio recall button 44 permits a user to instantaneously select different types of audio with a single, smart, dynamic feature. The smart and dynamic aspects of the audio recall button 44 are different from the preset buttons 34-42 in that the user never manually codes the recall button 44 by associating a specific channel, or even further, an external audio device, such as a CD, with the recall button 44. The software/logic of the microprocessor at steps S3.6-S3.9, S3.11, and S3.12 determines the dynamic coding of the audio recall button 44 by evaluating the length of time a user leaves an audio selection in an enabled state (i.e. when the radio station, CD, or the like, is "on" for a predetermined period of time). As a result, a user may easily return to a listened-to radio station, a CD, or the like, once the user decides that the "new current audio" becomes an undesirable selection under the condition that the previous user-selected audio was in an activated state for X or more seconds.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the "X value" of the recall counter described in step S3.11 may be hard-coded in the microprocessor to be, for example, five minutes (i.e. 300 seconds). In an application, upon activating the receiver 10, a user may insert a CD in the port 20 and listen to the "current audio" of the CD for ten minutes (i.e. 600 seconds). As a result, the "current audio" information of the CD is saved in recall memory because the recall counter is incremented past the preprogrammed "X value" of 300 seconds in step S3.7.
Using the above-identified example of the "X value" being equivalent to 300 seconds, a further application of the invention is described in detail below. At 1:48 PM, for example, the user inserts the CD into port 20 as described above, and at 1:58 PM, for example, the user may notice that the "on-the-hour" news being broadcast on the 950 AM news station is going to occur at 2:00 PM. At approximately 1:58 PM, the user presses the mode button 24 to switch over to the radio function from the CD function of the receiver 10, which was in play for ten minutes, thereby placing the CD "current audio" information in recall memory. Upon pressing the mode button 24, the last radio station listened to was the alternative rock station being broadcast on 88.7 FM, which now becomes the "new current audio," due to the pressing of the mode button 24. Essentially, the moment the user pressed the mode button 24, the recall counter was re-initialized at step S3.6 to determine if information relating to the "new current audio" on 88.7 FM should replace information relating to the "current audio" associated with the CD in the recall memory location. After, for example, two seconds of listening to 88.7 FM, the user presses the AM band-toggle button 26, which results in the switching to 760 AM. Then, the user may press the seek button 28 to quickly tune to 950 AM, surpassing the stations between 760 AM and 950 AM. Upon settling on 950 AM, the recall counter is again re-initialized at step S3.6 and the information relating to 950 AM is now associated with the "new current audio." Then, at 2:02 PM, the "on-the-hour" news of 950 AM is over, and the user presses the recall button 44 to return to the "current audio" of the CD.
Because the period of time that elapsed between the re-initialization of the counter at 1:58 PM (i.e. when the user settled on 950 AM) to the time when the recall button 44 was pressed at 2:02 PM totaled four minutes (i.e. 240 seconds, which is less than the "X value" of 300 seconds), the recall button 44 was dynamically coded and functioned in returning the user to the operation of the CD. However, according to the illustrated embodiment, if the "on-the-hour" news lasted until 2:04 PM, the elapsed listened-to time of 950 AM would have been six minutes (i.e. 360 seconds, which is greater than the "X value" of 300 seconds), and, as a result, audio information relating to 950 AM overwrites the CD information in recall memory. Thus, in this instance, upon pressing the recall button 44, the receiver 10 would have remained at 950 AM due to the logic at step S3.11. Although the above-described function of the recall button 44 is directed to function in the receiver 10 staying on 950 AM after 300 seconds elapsed, it will be appreciated that the algorithm associated with the dynamic programming of the recall button 44 may be altered such that previously listened-to audio, such as 760 AM, in the above-described embodiment, may be returned although 950 AM was on for more than 300 seconds. In relation to the above-described example, it is assumed that the user conducts the switching of audio from the CD to 950 AM in a relatively short period of time, such as, for example, three seconds, thereby allowing the description to assume that the action of switching from "current audio" to "new current audio" took place at a rounded time of 1:58 PM.
Referring back to
Although the above-described embodiment relates to the recalling of CD information as "current audio," it will be appreciated that the invention may be practiced by recalling radio information as "current audio" to thereby permit the dynamic recalling and switching between radio stations that may or may not be on the same frequency bands. Even further, although the illustrated embodiment has been described with a single external audio port 20 related to a CD, it will be appreciated that the invention may be practiced with any desirable external audio component, such as an MP3 player, or the like. Even further, although only one audio port 20 is shownt in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of audio ports for different external audio devices may be employed as well. Even further, although the single audio port 20 is illustrated, the invention also contemplates recognition of external hard-wire audio devices, such as CD-changers, SDARS receivers, such as SKYFI�, which may be located remote from the typical location of the receiver 10 in the instrument panel.
It will also be appreciated that although the illustrated embodiment is related to a recall button 44 located on a receiver 10, the recall button 44 may be located remotely from the receiver 10, such as, for example, proximate a vehicle's steering wheel with associated audio-control devices. Yet even further, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to a recall button 44, per se, and that any desirable input controller may be used in causing selection of a type of audio identified in recall memory. For example, rather than providing a recall button 44, a voice recognition system (not shown) may be employed as an input device such that when a user speaks, for example, the word "recall," the voice recognition system may provide the input at step S3.10 to function in recalling user-selected audio as described above rather than having a user physically press the button 44. Additionally, it is contemplated that the recall memory may be arrayed such that recall memory may store multiple user-selected audio information. Thus, as a result, the recall button 44 may function in toggling between a library of "favorite" user-selected audio.
While the invention has been specifically described in connection with certain specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that this is by way of illustration and not of limitation, and the scope of the appended claims should be construed as broadly as the prior art will permit.

Rosanne Cash's Composed PlaylistRosanne Cash looks back on her life as an artist, a songwriter, and an heir to an incredible industry legend in Composed. Here, she's provided readers with a special playlist—along with behind-the-music liner notes--that puts her unique life story to music. You can also sample and download these songs in our custom MP3 playlist.
"Sleeping In Paris" (1993)
I wrote this just before I went to Paris in 1990. It became a metaphor for resolving things that could not be resolved.
"Seven Year Ache" (1981)
This song began as a long poem, three or four pages long, and I distilled it down into the song it became. I wrote it when Rickie Lee Jones first album was out, and it was really influential for me. I was thinking that I didn't know any country songs about being on the streets, or street life, and I wanted to write one. This was my attempt.
"On The Inside" (1990)
This is the first track on my album "Interiors." The whole album was about the difference between what is going on inside, and what you show the world on the outside.
"Rules of Travel" (2003)
I wrote the chorus to this YEARS before the whole song was finished. It became the title song of the album. I still think it is one of the best choruses I've written.
"Dreams Are Not My Home" (2006)
I was in Cambridge, England, playing at the Folk Festival, and my daughter and I climbed to the top of an ancient church, and I looked out over the River Cam and a picture unfolded in my mind, of the river rising, and Chelsea and I flying away. All the images in the song are dream-like, and the chorus is a longing to break free of the dreams.
"House on The Lake" (1980)
John Leventhal and I wrote this song, and it's full of detail about the home my dad and stepmother lived in. It's from the album 'Black Cadillac'. Many of those songs are about loss, but this one is also about what remains-- the love and memories.
"The Way We Make A Broken Heart" (1987)
This song is written by the great John Hiatt, one of my favorite songwriters. It was a big hit for me on the country charts in the 90's. It was an innovative record and just such a beautiful song.
"Like Fugitives" (2006)
This was the last song I wrote for my album "Black Cadillac," shortly after my mother died. I was angry and sad, and I didn't pull any punches, lyrically.
"Black Cadillac" (2006)
This was the first song I wrote for my album "Black Cadillac." It was like a 'postcard from the future'. Everyone started dying after I wrote this.
"She's Got You" (1986)
This song was written by the great songwriter Hank Cochran, and it was made famous by Patsy Cline. I had to get Patsy's voice out of my head to even approach singing this! I finally just asked her to help me. It seemed to work.
