Cystoscopy Topic Guide
Cystoscopy: Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure in which a tiny camera tool (cystoscope) is inserted into the patient's urethra to inspect the bladder for cancer or other abnormalities.
Interstitial Cystitis Interstitial cystitis (IC or inflammation of the bladder) causes pain, urinary frequency, incontinence, painful urination, urgency, and nocturia. The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown. As there is no cure for IC, treatment may involve dietary changes, quitting smoking, exercise, bladder training, medication, or surgery.

The BirdLife partners in France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the UK, are deploying unprecedented actions to protect the marine environment, through the project FAME (Future of the Atlantic Marine Environment, Interreg Programme 2010-2012). Amongst other, they have been tagging seabirds with mini-cameras, which recorded wonderful images.
Seabirds experts from those countries share their knowledge and their survey methodologies, for a better understanding of seabirds distribution at sea, and their interactions with human activities. In France, David Grémillet's team from the CNRS-CEFE of Montpellier, has deployed several telemetric devices on a colony of Northern Gannets, in Rouzic, the heart of the National Reserve "Sept-Iles". This work was performed in close collaboration with the LPO/BirdLife in France Reserve's staff, and with Amélie Lescroël from the University of Rennes 1.
GLS, GPS, Time Depth Recorders, are real concentrates of technology, and provide increasingly accurate information about birds' location and behavior. Their permitted to reply to many questions nobody could answer before such as where the birds' foraging areas and wintering areas are. As a complementary action, several adults from the Northern Gannets colony were tagged in 2011 with a mini- camera.
Click here to discover the extraordinary images they gathered. Those images will allow improving the knowledge about the fishing behavior of Gannets, for example know if they fish in group or as isolated birds or what their interactions with fishing boats are. This promising first experience is going to be repeated during the 2012 breeding period, final year of the FAME project.

Hey guys, thanks for the thoughts. Im not suggesting Im going to get a custom with something like this built into it.. but if the idea seemed reasonable maybe down the road with some spare cash I might get it built...
But I def. would like to hear the thoughts people might have.

What's your theory based on? Explain what you believe the correlation is between water being "sucked into the void" and an increase in board speed?
\nIn an effort to distill everything down to the most basic principles, let me suggest this... the two primary forces acting on a surfboard that translate into board speed are thrust and drag (a forward force, and a rearward force). The other two forces, lift and gravity (an upward force and a downward force), create thrust through translation: gravity tries to pull the board down the face, and the board's bottom and fins create lift. Lift reduces drag, while the constant pull of gravity, working opposite the force of the water rising up the face of the wave, increases thrust - the board is constantly riding "downhill," like walking down an up escalator. Because these forces are not balanced and equal, the result is acceleration until a sort of "terminal velocity" is reached - max board speed.
\nWhat I mean by all this is, if you want a board to go faster (raise it's "terminal velocity"), you have to decrease drag or increase thrust. You can do this all kinds of ways. How does your design do either one?

May 4, 2012, 06:25 PM
I'm no physicist either!
\nBut my guess would be that yes... you're creating "suction" through low pressure under that concaved area, along with turbulence. Remember that lift is created by lower pressure above the wing. If you create lower pressure under and behind the leading edge of the concave, you create a lift force pulling the board down and back. Recall, too, that turbulence creates turbulent drag... another speed-reducing force.
\nRemember that a ram jet requires fuel... an outside source of energy that's added to the system. I'm not sure the same theories would apply to surfboards and wave energy.
\nBut this is all guessing... and I'd be interested to hear what others have to say. Of course, the only true way to see what happens is but build it and test it. From there, who knows where the ideas will go!

The other part of it where you mention having a larger release are to increase force is not right. You have a decent idea but it's somewhat backwards. Having a larger release area will actually decrease the velocity of the water. You'd what to start with a larger area and filter it down into smaller channels to increase the speed of water flow.
Check out Bernoulli's principle and the Venturi effect for more in depth info.
There is a pretty cool interactive animation that demonstrates this here.
'; pd[125571] = '
But my initial thought is that the pipe animation wouldnt necessarily be the same as the flow on the bottom of the surfboard... as the opening pressure could hypotheticaly be the entire ocean, or perhaps the size of the wave, which would make every channel and contour under the board smaller then the opening flow, just by width of board compared to the ocean or wave surface.... but now I have easily ventured into an area which I dont fully understand.... lol.

I have a longboard, WRV 9'2" that has a large v cut in the bottom like a deep concave supposedly its supposed to make it faster.. It's pretty quick but then again it is a long board soooo... But deep concaves have been done.. That deep, havent ever seen that but does seem counter productive.
'; pd[125611] = '
actually I'm thinking its not a horrible idea to try out. It actually helps to reduce the drag on the bottom. Boats have had that technology for close to 100 years, i was actually thinking of trying out a similar idea with the next wooden board i am gonna build, just to see what happens.Here's how it works on a boat

I'm glad someone brought up the chunnel on the CI board. It must not have worked because I've never seen a board in the racks or lineup like it.
'; pd[125642] = '
May 5, 2012, 03:11 PM
The chunnel, and other designs like it, is a totally different concept. Like the boat hull that somebody mentioned, it involves ventilation. Ventilation has been explored, and continues to be explored, in surfboard design.
Wanna see something wild that uses ventilation as a concept... try doing a google image search using "jet bottom surfboards." Crazy stuff.

Interesting . But aren't boat hulls are designed for straight line speed over flat water (ideally)? Not radical changes of direction on a steep plane . Rare for a surfboard to be 'flat' on the water for an extended period of time to allow any kind of "gimmick " bottom to work. I like flat or very subtle single ->double. Interesting to see how it would go.

Question for Shapers...
Hey guys, I had something bouncing around in my head for adding speed to a surfboard was wondering about having an empty space near the tail, bottom side of the board. it would basically be a carved out area that might act as a vacuum to suck water into maybe increasing the speed? Here is a picture... any shapers or like minded people have thought reguarding this? has it already been tried/done? (obviously I am not a shaper and every part of the 3d image is just for conveying the thoughts)

I have a 15" unibody MacBook Pro with a Mini DisplayPort and a 23" Apple Cinema HD Display with the Apple Display Connector. I've been trying to find an adapter to connect the two but haven't been able to find one. Is there a cable available to make this possible?
Your most cost effective solution would be to get an ADC to DVI adapter and then a DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter
While it does mean you're going through multiple cables, but I couldn't find anyone who still makes a ADC - Mini Display Port adapter, and it does give you a handy adapter for if you buy a more modern, non-apple, display.

Maybe they just need a few bells. . .
My husband and I stayed at the Lodge for three nights on business. We arrived at the hotel and attempted to check in but the front desk was empty. I could hear voices from a back office and knocked on the door to no avail. I wondered around the lobby looking for someone even the gift shop was empty. I found a house phone in the lobby an dialed "0" thinking it would ring to the front desk and it did but no one came to answer. I let it ring so long that a message came on saying no one was available to take my call! Finally the employee returned from his smoke break and checked me in. But after waiting fifteen minutes. If you went into the kitchen you could usually find someone to seat you, the food at the Cascade restaurant as well as the bar was great! But the service again was terrible. We were frequently told by staff that it was their first or second day on the job and no one else was to be found. If they won't invest in the properly trained staff needed to run the resort they should at least buy a few bells an place them in conveinent places so that maybe, someday, you could get the help or service you need.
Great place but a bit expensive
My husband and I really liked this place, but felt it was a little expensive for what you got.
On the plus side, the room was very nice with Starbucks coffee (yum!) packets every day plus a fridge. The room was sort of cramped though. At Yellowstone Snow Lodge ($25 cheaper), the room was significantly larger.
The highlight for us was the cozy fireplace where we would read and write postcards at night. It was a real fireplace, not a gas fireplace.
The hotel restaurant was not bad but pricey also. Try the Teton Toast for breakfast, it is awesome.
They also cheaped out on the Internet access. You buy, for instance, a $5 card for 15 minutes. Give me a break. At the Super8 where we stayed the night before we flew back, there were 2 PCs set up for free. OK, if I had a laptop with Bluetooth, I could have probably used the wireless in the lobby, but still...
Despite that, we would consider coming back because it was comfortable and cozy. However, would probably try to get a discount somehow.
Loved the Teton Mtn Lodge
We stayed at this hotel in August 2004 and loved it. The rooms are beautifully decorated with upscale furnishings in the kitchen and bath. Ask for a room facing the mtn as opposed to the back of the Best Western. We wished we had stayed here for the remainder of our vacation instead of moving into the town of Jackson Hole which was only about 20 mins away.
Relaxing summer week out west...
We spent a full week at the Teton Mountain Lodge and found the staff and accomodation to be very solid. We checked in on Sunday afternoon and were put into a lodge room with two full sized beds. After a bit of back and forth with the front desk, we were finally moved to a lodge room with a king sized bed (the next day). Be sure to get a mountain view room, on as high a floor as possible. After that, Chris, the concierge, was extremely helpful/knowledgable with activities and reservations. The outdoor pool was a big hit with us, late afternoon sun and swim was very relaxing. We highly reccomend a 1/2 day horeseback ride with Jackson Country Outfitters - we had a private ride with Steve, the owner, who was fantastic! We took the Jenny Lake evening boat cruise (1 hr) with Doug, and highly recommend that as well! The rodeo was also an inexpensive and fun evening activity. Only had breakfast at Cascade (the hotel restaurant), and thought it was very average. For dinner, the Mangy Moose was a pleasant surprise, and in Jackson, the Old Yellowstone Garage, Rendez Vous Bistro, and the steakhouse downstairs from the Cowboy Bar were all HOME RUNs! Be sure to rent a car! Overall, we are extremely pleased with our stay, other than the initial room situation, we found NO flaws with the lodge or the staff.
Peaceful, Luxurious and Recommended
My family just returned from a week-long stay atTeton Mt. Lodge. We stayed 4/3/04 - 4/10/04 in asingle bedroom suite. Everything here is quality.I can't believe anyone could complain about TetonMt. Lodge. If your looking for peace and quiet withluxury, stay here.
Outstanding stay!
My husband and I stayed at the Teton Mtn Lodge in January 2004.
Compared to other hotel rates in the resort, Teton Mtn Lodge is by far the best deal for the hotel. The hotel far surpassed my expectations, clean, friendly and well-decorated. A nice easy walk to lifts and other dining options in the village. We left after week to continue our vacation elsewhere, but cancelled that part and returned to the Lodge for another three nights...it was that good! Some might complain about the valley view facing the best western, but our valley room was at the end and didn't face the hotel all that much, plus it didn't matter since we spent all our time on the mountain.
Beautiful valley view actually view of Best Western roof
Though the room was nice, and bath very large, we paid a premium for a valley view room with a balcony, which turned out to be looking directly at the Best Western roof. True we were facing the valley but you could not see it since the Best Western was between the valley & our room. Additioanlly, room service mixed up our order, then the tray was not removed for over 24 hours, and maid service ignored "privacy please" sign. Also, majority of staff appeared to be newly hired as they were inexperienced & uninformed. My recommendation would be to stay at the Four Seasons. Yes you will pay a little more but you will actually get the view you payed for, not to mention more options in terms of restaurants, lounges, etc.
New but was not outstand
Our room a one bedroom suite was very nice except for the blanket which was one of those rubber feeling ones everything else was great. The spa don't bother go to Snake river lodges spa. The food was okay but not great. Great for a family stay.
Deluxe Family Accomodations
Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed a week in Jackson and the Teton Mountain Lodge and its staff served as the foundation of an excellent vacation. We loved our "one-bedroom loft" (1,000 sq feet, 3 baths and 3 televisions). From the reservations specialist to the concierge, wonderful suggestions abounded. And even when we had a disappointing meal in the restaurant, the GM swiftly made things right!
Beautiful Luxury with western flair
Teton Mountain Lodge is a wonderful place. Just opened in 2002, this beautiful lodge is located just west of the town of Jackson in Teton Village. Slopeside during ski months and less than 1 mile away from Teton National Park during summer months.A beautiful lodge, reasonably priced for the Jackson area, with impeccable service and all the creature comforts for individuals or families.I was most impressed with the design, incredible feel of high quality furniture and appointments.

Looking for a summer job? Here's what you need to know
Published: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 16, 2007 at 11:35 p.m.
For teens, summer vacation can be a good time to enter the real world" of work.
www.snagajob.com: This online job site allows you to complete a profile and apply for multiple jobs at once.
www.gotajob.com: This ones designed with teens in mind. Its brain food" section offers tips on writing cover letters and resumes, as well as dealing with typical job situations.
Weve asked some experts and drawn from our own experience to put together a package of tips and hints for summer job-seekers.
Here are some things to consider before you start your job search:
1. When you can work: If you have school or extracurricular commitments over the summer, consider how much time youd be able to work. Will you be going to cheerleading camp for a week in July, with practices every morning leading up to it? Then a job with flexible scheduling, like some retail ones, might be for you. Do you need to baby-sit your siblings five days a week until your parents come home from work? Then a night job like delivering pizza might be best.
Write down a sample budget of your time before you start your job search.
2. Transportation availability: If you have a car and are old enough to drive, skip to the next tip. If not, you should know what kind of transportation is available to you before going to a job interview. Dont assume Mom can drop you off on her way to work, or that an older brother will get out of bed early enough to drive you. Ultimately, youre responsible for getting to work on time every day; employers generally dont care how you get there.
3. Interests: All your friends may be lifeguarding this summer, but if the thought of working outside in the heat and sun for three months makes your skin burn on the spot, dont apply there. Try to consider your interests and environment when taking a job. If you think you want to work in business when you grow up, for example, try to get a job in an office building where you can talk to the employees in elevators and in the hallways. Or, if youre good with kids, become a nanny for the summer.
4. Pay: Now is the time to envision the money. But dont get too greedy. Most likely, youll find a job that pays an hourly wage. Keep in mind that taxes will be taken out. Have your parents help you figure out what your take-home pay might be each week, then look at how that fits your budget. If you need to be saving for college, you might need a higher-paying job, or one that offers more hours.
5. Want to start your own business? If youre a self-starter, consider becoming a dog-walker, lawn-mower, swimming instructor or babysitter. Look at your schedule and budget, figure out ways to get the word out about your services and your rates and advertise before schools even out.
Sealing the deal
Want to ace your job interview? Weve received expert advice from employers and employees, and here are four time-proven strategies to keep in mind before you walk through the door.
1. Dress smart. If you go into an interview dressed for success" it immediately shows the employer that you are serious about the position, and that you are professional. First impressions are very important, so no ripped jeans.
2. Stay positive. Go in with an overly positive attitude. You never want to get discouraged or answer questions in a negative way. Youre trying to show the employer that you are a happy, great person to be around, and that youll get along great with everyone in the workplace.
3. Have answers prepared. Many interview questions are intended to help the company figure out why they should hire you. Dont ramble on and on about how great you are; just answer the questions truthfully. Also, a lot of questions asked at interviews are situational questions, so think of times when you were being responsible, but you had to face a problem.
4. Ask an intelligent question. When the employer wraps up his or her part of the questioning, it is common practice for him or her to turn the questions to you: Now, do you have any questions for me?" Come up with a smart question beforehand like, What type of employees fit well in this job?" or Can you describe your ideal employee?"

Baby-sitters club
Baby-sitting can be a decent source of income, and the hours are typically more flexible than other jobs. Here are some tips on getting a gig and doing it well.
Advertise: Make a flier that includes your name and phone number and the best time to call, a description of yourself as a baby sitter, rate, times available, experience and certifications. Hand them out at your school, community center or place of worship or in your neighborhood. Ask your parents to pass some out to friends and co-workers.
Get trained: Call the YMCA or American Red Cross or check their Web sites for baby-sitting training or CPR certification classes. Costs usually range from $35 to $50, but itll provide you with more credentials.
Establish your rate: The going rate usually ranges from $4 to $6 an hour, depending on your age and the number of kids. Dont overprice, or youll scare off clients.
While youre sitting: Arrive a few minutes early and confirm contact numbers, information about the kids, and time theyll be home. You may want to ask about the alarms, extra keys, emergency supplies and pets.
Bring a tote with games, movies, coloring books and crayons, or other things you think the kids would enjoy.
Always check with the parents before you take the kids somewhere, whether walking or driving.
Try to leave the house cleaner than it was before. Parents will notice, and you might get an extra tip.
Once the parents are home, let them know if anything unusual happened. Be honest about any accidents.
Never leave the children alone. Check on them a few times after they head to bed.

Any tips on recabling?
I'm playing with the thought of recabling my set to a balanced setup with connectors on the headphones themselves.
Anybody done this? Experiences? Pros and contras? What connectors would work for this?
Will use Mogami microphone cables with Neutrik connectors.
Best results for internal wirings seems connecting wires directly to the driver.
Then with silver wires from driver to electret.
Hi! I wanted to share my experiences with the K340 for my first post here on head-fi :-)
Back in the mid `80s I bought my K340 for newspaper route money. I A-B tested a lot of higher end cans back then and the K340 outclassed everything else, so I saved up for quite a while to get them. I was ~15 years old and living with my parents, I could not play loud music on my speakers at night. I drove them of a (still) very good Onkyo Integra amp and loved the sound and enjoyed them a lot for many years. When I moved out, they where put away and didn't see much use until now. Roles have changed, I now have a 3 year old and can no longer play loud music at night because of him. So I dug out the K340. I love them as much now as I did when I was a youngster. I realized that my livingroom amp didn't do them much justice, so after a bit of research I ended up buying a Audio-GD NFB-15 that I feed digitally from my Squeezebox. The Audio-GD is fantastic with the K340, the slightly warmish and detailed sound of the Wolfson DAC suits the K340 very well and there is ample power to drive them well.
I have been an audiophile in recovery (mostly) most of my life. So now I got upgradeitis and wanted more. these cans are over 30 years old and I thought that certainly there should be MUCH better stuff available now. So I set out to listen to what I could find in B&M's. I have listend to AKG K550, Sennheiser Momentum, 650, 700 and 800. When the salesman plugged in the HD800 into an expensive Hegel DAC/headamp, he had a grin on his face, like he thought I was about to be floored. He looked funny when my expression was only meh ;-) I had high expectations for the HD800 and was totally underwhelmed. It's laidback mids don't do vocals any justice compared to the K340, there was also no musicality and joy of playing like the K340 has in such abundance. The HD 700 was much worse and even felt "dark" in comparison. I ended up buying the K550's as it does well with music that does not suit the K340's sound signature (sub optimal recordings) and I got it for half price. At 1/10th the price of a HD800, the K550 is great and can even be used streight from my Iphone when traveling.
I am a bit saddened that progress obviously peaked in the `80s, but very happy that my then rather large investment in the K340 still pays off in such abundance after more than 30 years :-)
Sharing your experiences.
I bought a pair of HD650 because they pair the best with my BH Crack amplifier. Because these were my first mid-end not so cheap headphones i was very excited.
In the shop they didn't sound so awesome but figured i really should give them a try with the Crack. Indeed at home the new pair performed a great deal better on the crack.
But the crack couldn't get them to the level of the AKG K340. Compared to the AKG K340 the soundstage is cramped, instrument separation non-existent and it's all in your face.
I won't go comparing the FR of these because they are too different for that and it wouldn't be fair. Just have to mention the bass. It's way tighter on the HD650 but the AKG K340 hits fuller (more muddy?) and deeper.

We stayed here while down at a baseball tournament at the Sports at the Beach Complex in Georgetown on the recommendation of another teammate's family. It was just what we needed, clean, comfortable, and convenient. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Breakfast provided not fancy but it was just what we needed to sit down for 15 minutes before heading to the ball fields. About 25 minutes to Sports at the Beach but near all the outlets and just 5-10 minutes you can be at the Rehoboth Boardwalk for a fun evening after the games.

It appears that the wp_query->get_posts function (also called by query_posts and used to generate the main loop) isn't building a very efficient query when the "category__not_in" parameter is used. What the current code does (see below) is first query for a list of posts that have that category and then include an array with the id's of the posts into the actual query:
if ( !empty($q['category__not_in']) ) {
$ids = get_objects_in_term($q['category__not_in'], 'category');
if ( is_wp_error( $ids ) )
return $ids;
if ( is_array($ids) && count($ids > 0) ) {
$out_posts = "'" . implode("', '", $ids) . "'";
$whichcat .= " AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN ($out_posts)";
This may work ok for a small amount of posts, but when the database has 10,000+ posts and most of them aren't in that category it is extremely slow.
An improved version could either use a left join or create a sub query such as:
...where id not in (select object_id from wp_term_relationships where term_taxonomy_id=8 or term_taxonomy_id=12)...
Where the 8 and the 12 are categories that should be excluded.
This has proven to be dramatically faster on a large database.

Arthur J. Packard Memorial Scholarship Awarded to Three Students
Tuesday October 15th, 2013 - 10:41AM

WASHINGTON—The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation (AH&LEF), the not-for-profit affiliate of the American Hotel & Lodging Association, awarded three scholarships via its Arthur J. Packard Memorial Scholarship Program.
Michael Nalezny, a senior at Purdue University, won first place and a $5,000 scholarship; Georgia Ladd, a senior at Boston University, won second place and a $3,000 scholarship; and Katalina Durbin, a junior at Florida International University, was the third-place winner with a $2,000 scholarship.
According to the AH&LEF, Nalezny won first place in part because he helped found the AH&LA student chapter at Purdue and served as its president for the past two years, while working two part-time jobs and maintaining a 3.51 GPA.
The Arthur J. Packard Memorial Scholarship Program, which began in 1974 to honor third-generation hotelier Packard's numerous accomplishments in the lodging industry, awards three students at AH&LEF-affiliated four-year educational institutions a total of $10,000. Each school nominates their top students to compete. Recipients are selected based on a combination of hospitality work experience, academic performance, activities and financial need.
In 2013, AH&LEF will award 339 scholarships to hospitality management students totaling $528,000.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Canon PowerShot N offers tilting screen, any-way-up photography
The Canon PowerShot N is a new compact camera from the Japanese company that promises to give you a unique perspective on your photos, with a tilting touchscreen and lens control rings.
Although touted as distinct and unlike any other camera out there, at first glance it looks a lot like the Samsung MultiView MV800 camera launched a few years ago, thanks to that tilting 2.8-inch display on the rear.
But there's something rather cute about the Canon PowerShot N's lines. It's certainly compact when the display and lens are folded away measuring 78.6 x 60.2 x 29.3mm.
The lens on the front offers 8x optical zoom (28-464mm in 35mm terms), and image stabilisation. There's a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, backed by the DIGIC 5 image processing engine, giving this camera the HS badge - meaning it should perform reasonably well in low light.
However, it's the lens rings that sound interesting. While the touch display on the rear will offer controls, you get the option to use the rings around the lens for zoom as well as the shutter release.
Canon says this gives you the flexibility to hold the camera, and which way, and still be able to control it and take the shot you want. It sounds as though handling might prove contentious, but we won't pass judgement until we've seen the camera on the CES showfloor this week.
The camera is also sociable, with the integrated Wi-Fi meaning you can hook up the camera to your smartphone to share images instantly with a single button press. You'll be able to ping shots to Facebook or videos to YouTube while out on the move.
The Canon PowerShot N will be available from early April and will set you back £269.
As much as it might look like Samsung's MV800, there's something intriguing about the Canon PowerShot N and we can't wait to get our hands on it to bring you our first impressions.

The Colorado Cannabis Convention on Saturday has raised the hopes of marijuana activists in the USA.
Local, state and federal political figures present at the convention affirmed their belief that marijuana laws would carry on to become less restrictive and it was plausible that its use for medicinal purposes may become completely legal.
However, they were also of the opinion that this would only be possible if marijuana activists continue to put in relentless efforts and keep patient.
They were of the opinion that the legislature will not be able to solve these problems in a single year. Moreover, the legislation will also not be completely perfect in its nascent form. They stated that it is possible that the law will only progress gradually while implementing such legislation.
Organizers of the convention had anticipated that the convention had the propensity of attracting as many as 100,000 people.
It was seen that the turnout at the convention was stable. Event organizer Michael Lerner, a California media tycoon, expressed that he was pleased with the audience at the convention. He said that the attendance was phenomenal and the event concluded "Completely incident-free."

News about the health and beauty of the natural world that sustains us.
By Jessie Fetterling
moon, perigee moon, full moon
Go outside and look up this Saturday, Jan. 10! A perigee full moon — 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than lesser moons — will be illuminating the night. Perigee full moons come around once or twice a year. There was one like it in December, and 2009's is already on its way, giving those that didn't see the first a second chance. If you're in a particularly snowy area this weekend, the reflection will create enough light to read a newspaper. Even if you're not "with snow," perigee is the point where the moon gets closest to the Earth in orbit, so this weekend's full moon will be big and bright just about anywhere— as long as it's not too cloudy.

1. Background
This disclosure relates to a computer system, and more particularly to a mobile computing system or platform using a removable antenna module containing an antenna to support wireless communication devices in the mobile computing system or platform.
2. Description of the Related Art
Mobile personal computers (PC), also known as "laptops" and "notebooks" (notebook), typically provide wireless communications by the use of what are commonly known as PC cards defined by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). In typical applications, a PC card used for wireless communication will use an antenna interface to establish a wireless connection to a remote terminal or access point. A wireless communication PC card can have a built-in radio modem and an antenna. In certain configurations, the antenna protrudes out of the PC card. These integrated antennas are designed exclusively for wireless technology used by that particular PC card.
Manufacturers in order to provide cost effective and seamless end user wireless communication capabilities have found advantages in integrating wireless technologies into the architecture of a notebook system. Instead of relying on a PC card that is externally added via a card slot, the user can have wireless technology built into the notebook.
Wireless communications technologies continue to evolve and mature. Available wireless communication technologies that are now available to notebook systems include: wireless personal area networks (WPAN); wireless local area networks (WLAN); and wireless wide area networks (WWAN).
WPAN is an evolving area that includes an industry driven specification known as "Bluetooth," which is used as the basis for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.15.1. WPAN standards are specifically targeted as cable replacement wireless technologies for a range of diverse computing devices such as PCs, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), peripherals, cell phones, pagers, and consumer electronics. WPAN allows these enabled devices to communicate and operate with one another over a short range.
WLAN allows communication to a local network such as an Ethernet network within a building or locally on a campus or public "hotspot" areas such as hotels or airports. The IEEE standard 802.11 addresses this type of wireless communication technology.
WWAN generally refers to cellular and PCS telephone communication and covers code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA) and their variant standards. WWAN works over a longer distance and accommodates user mobility.
Wireless communication technologies can operate at varying frequencies and rely on antennas capable of transmitting and receiving at specific frequencies that support particular wireless communication technology.
Now referring to FIG. 1 illustrated is a chart of wireless communication technologies and their operating frequencies. Wireless communications can be grouped under communication category 10, further categorized as communication technology 15 and further defined by operating frequency band 20. In the industry WWAN 25 includes general packet radio service (GPRS) 40 that may operate at a switching frequency of 900/1800 megahertz (MHz) or 1900 Mhz; code division multiple access (CDMA) 45 that operates at 850/1900 MHz; time division multiple access (TDMA) 50 operating at 850/1900 MHz; and wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) 55 operating at 2.0 gigahertz (GHz). The WLAN 30 category includes IEEE standard 802.11b 60 operating at 2.4 GHz and IEEE 802.11a 65 operating at 5.2 GHz. In WPAN 35, Bluetooth 70 technology operates at 2.4 GHz. WPAN also includes the evolving IEEE standard 802.15 75 at 2.4 GHz. Since it is to be finalized, IEEE 802.15 75 potentially may operate at a different frequency in the future. Other technologies in the future may operate in other frequencies.
Antennas that support wireless communication technologies can be as diverse as the wireless technologies that they support. Antennas can come in varying shapes and sizes, including straight dipole antennas and patch antennas. Antennas are able to support a range of frequencies that support various technologies, however, one antenna or antenna system cannot support all of the wireless communication technologies that are expected to be integrated within a notebook system. A notebook manufacturer must therefore determine what antenna or antenna system to include to support whatever wireless communication technology is part of the notebook architecture. Since wireless communication is an evolving area, frequency and antenna requirements will also evolve and change over time.
Manufacturers have realized the need to provide wireless communication technologies and solutions into notebooks. To this end, antennas are often integrated into the chassis of notebooks or in the LCD panel of the notebook. The integrated antenna of the notebook is typically a custom design to the particular notebook platform.
Now referring to FIG. 2, illustrated is a connection of an integrated antenna to a notebook chassis. Antenna 200 is connected by a jumper wire 210 to a module 205. The module 205 can be placed on a mother board or a system board of the notebook system. A design consideration is to make the jumper wire 210 as short as possible. In other words, a connection of the antenna 200 to the module 205 should be as short as possible. Considering that analog radio frequency (RF) signals are transmitted along the connection, a shorter connection allows for a reduction of transmission noise, but more importantly transmission loss from the antenna. Integrating an antenna into a notebook system adds to design considerations; a manufacturer must be able to know or plan as to the size, shape and location of an antenna, and design the notebook architecture with that particular antenna in mind. Adding a jumper wire further adds to the design and manufacturing cost of the notebook.
An antenna may be part of a device that includes specific wireless communication technology such as transmitters, receivers and transceivers. Such a device is an integrated wireless device. Antennas and integrated wireless devices may be designed, integrated and certified along with a notebook. Changing an antenna or integrated wireless device for a different function or purpose can require a redesign or change to the notebook chassis which would can be a lengthy, expensive, or impractical design change.
If a different antenna to replace an existing integrated antenna is desired, a new notebook chassis intended for the new antenna must be created, the old chassis must be disassembled, the parts of the computer system integrated into the new assembly, and certification conducted on the new notebook package. Modular devices such as transceivers or radio devices may easily be replaced on a notebook computer architecture, but an antenna that is integrated into the chassis of a notebook presents a more complicated modification. To create different notebook chassis for a multitude of antennas in existence can be impractical. In certain cases, a notebook user may be in a situation where the wireless communication technology that is being used requires a change of wireless communication devices and an antenna to support the change. This may be the case when a user has a notebook designed for the United States WWAN market, and the user brings the notebook to Europe where there is a difference WWAN standard. The wireless communication system, including the antenna, built into the United States market notebook, is useless in Europe. A simple change of transceivers inside the system board may be all that is needed, however the user does not have the ability to replace the antenna. Antennas that are fixed or integrated into a notebook chassis do not allow for factory customization and limit flexibility to manufacturers that provide customization of notebook systems for their customers.
In the timeline of notebook development and product introduction to the marketplace, manufacturers very early on define the mechanical layout of the notebook design. A notebook's physical layout is designed and the location of its parts is determined. A specific location is provided for the processor. A specific location is provided for the memory. A specific location is provided for multi-media components. Currently no specific location, however, is provided for an antenna. Considering the varying physical shapes and sizes that an antenna may come in, it can be difficult to provide a predetermined location for an antenna in a notebook with limited space requirements.
A manufacturer can reserve a space in the notebook system architecture for the antenna. Because the antenna and the notebook are an integrated system, the system must be certified as a whole. This translates to the need to certify a new system each time a different antenna is introduced. The same notebook architecture will be certified as many times as a new antenna is introduced. In a competitive marketplace, manufacturers strive to bring new notebook designs to consumers as expeditiously as possible. Waiting for regulatory certification of various antennas added to a particular notebook architecture adds to the time before a notebook is delivered to the marketplace. A fixed or integrated antenna in a notebook becomes part of a larger communication systems design that must be certified. An antenna that is separated and treated independent from the system enables platform design independence.
A need has been felt for a modular antenna that is self contained and can be readily attached to a notebook or other computing device, where the notebook or computing device provides a designated interface or location to attach the modular antenna. The modular antenna should have the capability to be independently certified from the notebook or computing device architecture.
In mobile computing systems such as notebooks which incorporate wireless technologies, an antenna system is needed. Oftentimes, the choice of an antenna or antennas is locked into the design of the computing system, with the antenna built into the chassis of the system. Modifications and changes to the antenna architecture are difficult if not impossible. To facilitate production of computing systems and to increase the flexibility of exchanging antennas, a modular design for an antenna in a mobile compute system is provided.
In one embodiment of the disclosure, the computer system provides for a bay or slot that readily accepts an antenna system. The antenna system is housed in a modular radome or casing unit that is "standardized" for the bay or slot. A door on the bay or slot encloses the modular unit into the computer system.
In an embodiment the modular unit contains one or more antennas. For multiple antennas a diversity switch is added to choose the proper antenna for transmission or reception. A high gain amplifier can be added to the module, where the high gain amplifier receives or transmits signals from and to the antennas. A RF cable is provided that connects to the computer system from the amplifier. RF analog signals are then passed to the computer system's receiver, or the computer systems transmitter passes RF signals to the module.
In an embodiment the receiver, transmitter, or a transceiver may be placed in the antenna module, so that analog RF signals are processed in the module and then transmitted to the computer system as digital base band signals. This allows for greater flexibility in placing the antenna module in the computing system.
In various embodiments of the disclosure, a microprocessor may be added to the antenna module where technical information regarding the antenna is provided to the computer system. Information may consists of the type and or capability of the antennas in the module.
The present disclosure may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings. The use of the same reference number throughout the several figures designates a like or similar element.
FIG. 1 illustrates wireless communication technology and related operating frequencies.
FIG. 2 illustrates a connection from a notebook antenna to a notebook system.
FIG. 3 illustrates an antenna system architecture that makes use of an antenna module.
FIG. 4 is an antenna system architecture that passes digital information to a computer system.
FIG. 5 illustrates a physical location in which an antenna can be placed.
FIG. 6 illustrates the components of an antenna structure.
While the disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail, it should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description thereto are not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
Now referring to FIG. 3 illustrated is an antenna system architecture that makes use of an antenna module. Within the antenna module, an antenna or a series of antennas may be placed. These antennas can include antenna 300 and antenna 305. Additional antennas may be added or a single antenna may be used. Antenna 300, antenna 305, and other antennas of the antenna system are connected to a diversity switch 310. The purpose of diversity switch 310 is to choose the proper antenna for transmission and reception. The diversity switch can choose the antenna based on integrated software logic or a physical device such as a power sensor or zener diode. The power sensor or zener diode measures received or transmitted energy and based on that energy calculates the best antenna to receive or transmit. If a single antenna is incorporated no need will exist for the diversity switch 310. Received signals from the antenna system pass through a high gain amplifier 320. High gain amplifier 320 can also include low noise amplifier (LNA) when a signal is received. High gain amplifier 320 passes signals to a radio transmitter/receiver 335 by a wire 325. Information in the form of analog signals are passed between high gain amplifier 320 and radio transmitter/receiver 335. In this particular embodiment, the antenna module contains the antenna 300, the antenna 305, the diversity switch 310, and the high gain amplifier 320.
The radio transmitter/receiver 335 sends power to the high gain amplifier filter 320 through power line 330. The radio transmitter receiver 335 processes the analog signals into digital information and passes them on to a base-band processor 340. The base-band processor 340 passes on the digital signals to an interface 345. The interface 345 in turn passes on the digital signals to a bus 350 and to the computer system. Typically the digital signals will be passed on to the motherboard. Additional elements of the module can include a microprocessor 360. The microprocessor 360 passes on serial digital information regarding the condition or status of the module 360. This serial data is passed on to bus 365.
Now referring to FIG. 4 illustrated is an antenna system architecture that passes digital signals to the system. The antenna system is set up to include antenna 300 and antenna 305. Other antennas may be added or a single antenna may exist. The antenna 300 and the antenna 305 are connected to the diversity switch 310. The diversity switch 310 determines the appropriate antenna to be used to transmit or receive the signal. Received signals are passed on the high gain amplifier 320. In this particular embodiment, the radio transmitter/receiver 335 is placed in the module. Because the radio transmitter/receiver 335 is placed into the module, digital information can be sent along a serial bus 400. This digital or serial information is sent to the base-band processor 340 located on the motherboard or a separate daughter card. Transmitting digital information allows for reduced line loss and noise, providing the capability for a longer line connection from an antenna module to the computer motherboard or system board.
Now referring to FIG. 5 illustrated is an embodiment of a physical location of a motherboard within which the antenna module can be placed into. Illustrated is a notebook 500 with a slot or bay 505. The slot or bay 505 accepts an antenna module 510. The slot or bay 505 can have a lid or door 515 that closes and locks in the antenna module 510. This particular embodiment illustrates the slot or bay 505 in the back of the notebook 500, however, various locations along the notebook 500 may have the slot or bay 505 and the lid or door 515. At times it may be desirable for the user to have access to the antenna module 510, and at other times it may be desired to limit access. Access to the antenna module 510 can be controlled by the manufacturer by the ease of opening or closing the door 515 and or placement of the slot or bay 505.
Now referring to FIG. 6 illustrated is the antenna module 510. In this particular embodiment antenna module 510 has connecting pins 600. Connecting pins 600 are used to mount the antenna module 510 into connecting holes or mounts found on the notebook. The connecting pins 600 provide structural connection to the notebook for the antenna module 510. A coaxial cable 610 for RF analog signals is provided. The antenna itself is housed in a plastic housing or radome 615. Module 510 should be large enough to accommodate a diverse range of sizes of antennas, including dipole antennas and patch-panel antennas. The expected size for these antennas depends on the frequency range and performance desired. Antenna module size will be determined by notebook size constraints and antenna size requirements that include the number of antennas that may be placed in the module.
Although the present disclosure has been described in connection with several embodiments, the disclosure is not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as can be reasonably included within the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
