James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Etching: FUMETTE(431 views)
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
An original James Abbott McNeill Whistler Etching.
Original etching printed in black ink on laid paper bearing an unidentified watermark (a fleur-de-lys surmounting the date "1800").
Signed in the plate lower right Whistler.
A strong and dark impression of Kennedy's fourth and final state, Glasgow's fifth state of five, with a warm plate tone and showing touches of burr, printed after the addition of the printer's inscription to the plate lower left Imp. Delatre, Rue St. Jacques, 171. A plate from the series Douze eaux-fortes d'apres Nature (Twelve Etchings from Nature), commonly referred to as "The French Set," one of only 75 known impressions from this plate.
Catalog: Kennedy 13 iv/iv; Glasgow 12 v/v; Mansfield 15; Grolier Club 19; Wedmore 18.
Platemark: 6 3/8 x 4 1/4 inches Sheet size: 7 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches
Fumette (or Héloïse) was the first of Whistler's European liaisons. She was a milliner, a 'grisette' in the Latin Quarter, who used to carry about with her a little basket containing her crochet work, and a volume of the poems of Alfred Musset, which she knew by heart. She and Whistler lived at a hotel on the rue de St. Sulpice. According to the Pennells, Whistler and Fumette were together for two years, not always happily; one day Fumette destroyed a cache of Whistler's drawings in a fit of anger (she was nicknamed 'the tigress' in keeping with her hot temper). She later lived with a musician, and at the end of her life was living in South America, where she had set up as a modiste.
She posed for several etchings, "Fumette" (Kennedy 13), "Fumette Standing (K. 56), Fummette's Bent Head" (K. 57), and possibly for the superb nude study "Venus" (K. 59).
Here, Whistler carefully delineates Fumette's dark eyes, sensuous mouth, and shoulder-length hair, sympathetically conveying both the vulnerability of her personality and her quiet mood of the moment. The details of her dress, with its lace collar, may convey her skills in her craft. Fumette always let her hair hang loose, not braided in the usual manner, which excited much comment at the time, and suggested that she was a bohemian or gypsy - beyond the pale of bourgeois respectability.
This etching, along with a few others from this same period in Whistler's career, show women of a recognizably low class, working women and beggars. Their clothes and attitudes define their status. In subject and treatment these etchings fit the new Realism of the time.
The final states of this and other "French Set" etchings were printed by Auguste Delâtre with nuanced tonal wiping or, as appropriate, an overall residual film of ink that provides and effect of warmth to the surface.

A Building Made From Cannabis? Yes, Seriously - With Hempcrete
Hempcrete is a building material with many interesting properties for those interested in sustainability and construction or renovation. It combines a hemp shiv with a lime matrix to give it high elasticity and vapour permeability to help create a healthy building that actually locks up atmospheric carbon.
Of course, hemp is the English name for the cannabis plant and the shiv, the inner woody stem, is the part of the plant that is used for this process. The plant is one of the earliest recorded domestically grown plants with a long history of widespread use for a range of important products.
To a certain extent it can be used structurally, although its typical compressive strength is around 1MPa, over 20 times lower than low grade concrete. Hempcrete's density is 15% that of traditional concrete.
Hempcrete was used in 'Tomorrow's Garden City', a 60 home scheme completed in 2012 at Letchworth Garden City, built by SDC and designed by architect Cole Thompson Anders, for housing association North Hertfordshire Homes. Many of the units were built using hempcrete from Lime Technology, and the rest were built using Pavatex wood fibre materials from Natural Building Technologies.
It is long lasting, does not shrink and is pest, water and fire resistant, with a low embodied energy. More than that, it actually locks up atmospheric carbon in the structure itself (just as timber does) in the hemp component; and, although the process of making lime reduces carbon dioxide, as it dries it also absorbs the gas back from the atmosphere.
This means that, in great contrast to Portland cement and other building materials, it acts as a carbon sink. The authors say: "timber products can also claim to be sequestering carbon; however, hemp is superior to wood in this respect since it absorbs CO2 much more quickly, creating a very hard woody stem (2-4 m in height) in only 4-5 months."
A new book, The Hempcrete Book, by William Stanwix and Alex Sparrow, who between them have much experience of constructing with hemp-lime, tells those who wish to work with it everything they would need to know.
As the authors say, "Hempcrete is especially attractive to self-builders and community groups because of the relatively low-tech nature of the construction method. Also, owing to the fact that it's relatively labour-intensive, big savings can be made by providing your own labour".
It's a relatively new building material and there have been some mistakes made by subcontractors which have made those who have heard these stories wary of using the material, most famously in a social housing project begun by Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud in Swindon. But the authors explain how these mistakes came about and how to avoid them, mainly by using suitably qualified and experienced people to mix and apply the material.
With a k-value of between 0.12 and 0.13 W/mK, the material offers some insulation value but is primarily of interest because of its breathability, which lends it to use with other natural building materials to create buildings which have a pleasant internal atmosphere that does not suffer from damp or condensation.
It is easy to install (possible with dry-spray machinery) and for vertical services or walls it needs to be cast onto temporary shuttering as permanent impermeable shuttering would prevent the material from performing.
The pioneers in the use of hempcrete are Tom Woolley and Rachel Bevan, who assisted with the construction of the WISE building 10 years ago at the Centre for Alternative Technology and did the research for BRE that led to the publication of Hemp Lime Construction in 2006-7. (See the video below.)
Since then there have been a great many new buildings constructed. The material has become almost commonplace in the UK and The Hempcrete Book brings up-to-date all the knowledge and experience gained in recent years.
The book is full of many of these examples, such as a social housing project at Callowlands in Watford which is built using the timber frame and cost-in-situ hempcrete. Some designs are thoroughly modern and, to the untrained eye, would look no different from any other rendered construction. Others are built in the style of vernacular cottages, since there is a lineage going back to mediaeval times of using wattle-and-daub, of which hempcrete is the proud, contemporary descendant.
For this reason it is an ideal material for renovating old houses in a sustainable manner. For instance the material can be used for external insulation. A range of rendered finishes are possible, which must be vapour permeable and the authors explain the choices: lime, clay and earth finishes in many colours are available. Timber cladding also provides an attractive finish.
The book even gives examples of detailing for construction methods and a full directory of resources. Every building method has its disadvantages and if there is one for hempcrete, besides it being labour-intensive, then it is the time required to let the material dry out before further layers or rendering can be applied. But with good planning this can easily be built into a schedule.
This book serves as an excellent introduction and manual to the subject for anyone wishing to explore it further.

Currently researching this product. Hempcrete Australia hold three day workshops for builders costing n the range of $1500 in New Zealand in October. Expensve. Currently looking to source some hempcrete to reinsulate my old cottage before I start my environmentally friendly tiny house project. Firstly, a basic structure that is affordable. We are talking OFF THE GRID here! Researching how much it would cost a charity like St Vincent De Paul to pay one single person's electricity bill for one year here in Australia? We are looking at $500 per quarter multiply that by fuor then multiply that by 500,000 people! There you have it.. The statistics speak for themselves! Hempcrete will be the only product I use for this project.

Grant Won to Evaluate Glucose Uptake Inhibitor in Brain Cancer
Advanced Cancer Therapeutics (ACT) won a $158,000 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support preclinical development of a brain cancer drug that inhibits glycolysis targeting 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3). The award will fund studies in models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
PFKFB3 is a cancer metabolism target licensed to ACT from the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville. The enzyme is involved in the first, irreversible step of glycolysis, and ACT claims inhibiting its activity should block glucose uptake in cancer cells and inhibit cancer cell proliferation and growth.
"This grant will support ACT's efforts to investigate the use of this novel therapeutic agent targeting PFKFB3, a cancer metabolism target commonly over-expressed in GBM," remarks Gilles Tapolsky, Ph.D., ACT's CSO. "Even today, there are no satisfactory therapies for GBM, so we remain hopeful about this novel therapy and the impact it could provide patients."
Cancer therapeutics firm ACT has a strategic arrangement with the Brown Cancer Center that gives the firm an option to exclusively license anticancer IP developed at the center. ACT's strategy is to work with CROs to identify and progress the most promising preclinical anti-cancer products through completion of Phase I clinical trials. The firm's lead clinical-stage candidate, ACT-GRO-777, is a DNA aptamer licensed from Antisoma in April 2011, which is in Phase II clinical trials. ACT is evaluating the drug for additional human cancer trials in collaboration with the Brown Cancer Center.

Do you know what penalty pricing is? Well, read the fine print on your credit card agreement and you may find out that because you were just a few days late making a monthly payment you were not only charged a late payment fee, but the lower rate you signed up for is now as high as 29.99%.
That's called penalty pricing, and it can really blow your budget out of the water. If you have ever made a late payment, take a closer look at your credit card bill because you may get a nasty surprise.
Or how about that nice bank that offered you the opportunity to transfer an existing credit card balance over to their credit card with an offer of "0"% interest on the amount you transfer? Again, read the fine print.
Many banks charge a 3% minimum fee for balance transfers on the amount you are moving over to their credit card. Though some banks cap the fee at $75 – still a hefty amount, others have no maximum cap. What that means to you is that if you transfer a $10,000 balance at a "0"% rate, you may still be charged as much as $300 for the privilege of giving that bank your business.
An MCU VISA card comes with so many advantages you can't afford to use anything else in this economic environment. The regular, every day non-promotional rate on all MCU VISA Cards – Classic, Gold and Platinum, is currently one of the lowest available (for rates, go to their website, www.nymcu.org ).
However, the advantages don't stop there because the credit union will not bump up your interest rate if you exceed your credit limit, or your payment is a few days late, and they also won't charge you a fee for a balance transfer. Many banks do.
In these tough times, MCU's VISA cards are an excellent value, and if you are eligible for membership in the credit union they offer some of the lowest cost credit cards you can get. To find out if you are eligible, call 1-866-JOIN-MCU.

Care + Gee's Linctus BP gives you effective relief for continuous dry coughing. It is made with active ingredients, opium tincture and squill oxymel, which acts as a painkiller and suppressant for the cough reflexes in your central nervous system. How does it work Coughing is your body's way of responding to irritation in the airways. It helps to clear mucus, dust, bacteria, and other particles from your lungs and throat. When coughing symptoms become too severe, or if there is overstimulated coughing, without there being any mucus or irritants, this can cause irritation and pain which can temporarily damage your throat. Care + Gee's Linctus BP can be used in such cases to block the body's cough reflexes and reduce the nerve signals sent from the part of your brain that produces coughing.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Note all this was done by e-mail.
Lease ended March 31, all my stuff was moved out March 15, have not returned since.
On March 28 Landlord inspected place said full deposit will be returned. March 31 landlord says they found new damages. April 1st landlord says they will keep the entire deposit for damages that can not possibly be $1400.
Landlord is required to provide an itemized statement within 21 days after end of lease, I doubt this will happen. Do I need to ask for this itemized statement, will it look bad in small claims if I don't?
How do I prove that I did not receive the itemized statement within 21 days or that I got it past 21 days?
Should I tell landlord why the deductions are improper? Will it look bad if I don't?
Can I message him after 21 days or will that look bad?
Is first class mail required when the itemized statement is sent to me, or can any form of mail be used? I have no interest in negotiating with my landlord any longer, he is unreasonable to the point of no return. I want a judge to decide at this point, I don't want my actions to look bad to a small claims judge.
The types of deductions that can be made on a security deposit is outlined in California Civil Code Section 1950.5. This is also the section that requires the landlord to send an itemized statement of deductions including receipts. It is advisable to attempt to negotiate the itemized statement that is sent. If no statement is sent, a correspondence to the landlord requesting an itemized statement would help show that you attempted to resolve without needing court intervention.
This response is not intended, nor should it be construed as legal advice. Any information provided is for educational purposes only. The exchange of communications through Avvo.com and similar social media does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me or my office. To schedule an appointment for an attorney-client privileged consultation, contact me at 909-860-0342. Thank you.
Under Civil Code Section 1950.5(g)(6), the landlord must mail the itemized statement, receipts, and estimates to the address that you provide to him. If you have not provided him with an address, then the landlord must send these to the address that you moved out from.
The rules of small claims court is somewhat more relaxed. You may ask the other party at the hearing to produce proof that he mailed to you the itemized deductions and his failure to produce such proof will greatly weigh in your favor.
If you have specific questions, you may contact me at www.TaslakianLaw.com.
Best of luck to you!

The subject invention concerns control of brightness and contrast in general, and concerns control of brightness and contrast in digital test and measurement instruments, in particular.
When one mentions "Brightness" and "Contrast" what immediately comes to mind are the familiar controls that are commonly found on television receivers. In television, a brightness adjustment changes the dc level (i.e., "offset") of the overall television signal, and changing the contrast setting causes an increase or decrease in the range between the least illuminated and most illuminated portions of the picture (i.e., "gain"). In a modern digital oscilloscope, the brightness and contrast controls produce a somewhat similar effect but operate in a very different manner on very different signals.
A brief discussion of the operation of a modern digital oscilloscope may be in order before proceeding to the subject invention. Modern digital oscilloscopes generally use raster scan displays to present the activity of electrical signals to their users. Each raster scan display, such as those seen every day on computer screens, consists of a two dimensional array of pixels, with each pixel location being uniquely defined by a row number and column number. The simplest and lowest cost versions of such displays are "single bit" displays, in that the memory from which they derive the information to be displayed only has one bit of intensity information associated with each pixel. In such a display, that single bit of information determines whether the pixel associated with it is either "on" or "off", with "on" dictating that a predetermined amount of intensity is to be used to illuminate the pixel and "off" indicating that the pixel is not to be illuminated at all.
The more complex and expensive alternative to a single bit display is a multi-bit display, which can provide variable intensity (also known as "gray-scale") or color variations as a substitute indicator of brightness. The memory locations associated with each pixel of a variable intensity display contain multiple bits of intensity information, indicating the number of varying intensity levels with which they can be illuminated. Like the pixels of single bit displays, those of multi-bit displays can exhibit an "off" or dark state, but instead of one value of illumination, they have multiple values. Typically, the number of values available is 2N−1, where N is the memory depth at each address of the raster memory. Thus, for example, a four bit deep raster scan memory can support fifteen levels of partial through maximum illumination, as well as the dark or "off" state. Pixel intensity can also be translated into differing colors, as well as intensity or "brightness".
With this larger amount of data, multi-bit displays can convey more information about the behavior of electrical signal waveforms under observation, particularly if the signal is not perfectly repetitive and therefore has less activity in some portions than others. U.S. Pat. No. 4,940,931 "Digital Waveform Measuring Apparatus Having A Shading-tone Display" (Katayama et al.) describes a system for producing digital variable intensity displays.
Typically, digital oscilloscopes acquire information about the behavior of a circuit node by periodically sampling the voltage present at the node. The oscilloscope probe tip is placed in contact with the node and the probe and front end of the oscilloscope precisely replicate the signal, or some predetermined fraction or multiple of the signal, and present it to an analog-to-digital converter. The output of the analog-to-digital converter is a series of multi-bit digital words that are stored in an acquisition memory. Successively acquired samples are stored at sequentially related addresses in the acquisition memory, and are thereby related to a time scale. Those addresses will eventually be converted back to a time scale, one of which is represented as horizontal distance along the x-axis of the oscilloscope's raster scan display.
In a typical digital oscilloscope, voltage amplitude values derived from the data contents of an acquisition memory location determine the vertical location (row number) of an illuminated pixel, while time values derived from the addresses of the acquisition memory determine the horizontal location (column number). The process of expanding the contents and addresses of an acquisition memory to produce contents for a two dimensional raster memory is known as "rasterization".
The output of a rasterization process is usually combined with some preexisting content of a raster memory, and the resulting composite raster contents may thereafter be regularly subjected to some sort of decay process. Digital persistence and decay are known, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 5,440,676 "Raster Scan Waveform Display Rasterizer With Pixel Intensity Gradation" (Alappat, et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,896 "Rasterscan Display With Adaptive Decay" (Alappat, et al.), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,254,983 "Digitally Synthesized Gray Scale For Raster Scan Oscilloscope Displays" (Long, et al.).
The result of the above described process is a raster memory comprising memory locations each of which contains a multibit digital word representative of the desired illumination of a corresponding pixel of the display.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/056,042, "BITS-PER-PIXEL REDUCTION FROM VARIABLE INTENSITY RASTERIZER TO VARIABLE INTENSITY OR COLOR DISPLAY" (Siegel, et al.), filed Apr. 3, 1998 and assigned to the same assignee as the present application, discloses the operation of contrast and brightness controls in an oscilloscope such as the one described above. In accordance with that invention the bits-per-pixel values are decreased under control that permits the operator to choose the gain and offset of the transfer function. From the user's point of view such controls appear, respectively, as contrast and brightness adjustments. It is disclosed in that document that a 21-bit pixel intensity value be mapped into a 4 bit pixel intensity display word by comparing the 21-bit value against a series of breakpoints, and setting the 4 bits of the pixel intensity display word accordingly. It is further disclosed in that reference that, in one embodiment, the maximum pixel intensity value can be set via a brightness control.
The TDS-7xxD series oscilloscopes manufactured by Tektronix Inc. are actual oscilloscopes embodying the teaching of Siegel, et al. In the TDS-7xxD the contrast and brightness functions are controlled via a single knob which is assigned to each function by means of a menu choice. From the user's point of view, control of these functions is essentially the same as having two knobs, one for brightness and one for contrast. Operation of these controls will be explained below in comparison to the operation of the subject invention.
While this arrangement performs adequately, it is felt that the alternate use of the same knob for the two different functions may lead to some consumer confusion, especially since the contrast and brightness functions are somewhat interactive, as will be explained below. Also, for reasons to be explained below, it was found that when the display was switched from color to black and white, or vice versa, that the contrast and brightness settings had to be readjusted.
What is needed is an apparatus and method for quickly and easily controlling both brightness and contrast simultaneously via a single knob, producing an output which makes good use of the dynamic range available, and causing that setting to behave in an equivalent manner in both black and white and color modes of operation.
An apparatus and method useful in a test and measurement instrument for simultaneously adjusting both contrast and brightness via a single knob employs a family of modified gamma curves each having multiple breakpoints for mapping multiple-byte pixel intensity words into a multi-bit pixel intensity display control word. A single user-operable intensity control accomplishes selection of a particular gamma curve of the family of gamma curves, and causes the simultaneous adjustment of both contrast and brightness.
FIG. 1 shows a family of 15 modified gamma curves having 100 intensity values in accordance with one aspect of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a family of 100 modified gamma curves having 15 breakpoint in accordance with a second aspect of the invention.
FIG. 3 shows circuitry in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the intensity mapper circuit for accomplishing bitper-pixel reduction in a manner according to the present invention.
It is well known in the television and video display arts that there is a non-linear relationship between a particular pixel intensity value and the actual illumination produced at that pixel on a display device. In order to correct for that non-linearity, the pixel intensity information is generally corrected by application of a gamma correction factor. Gamma curves are well-known correction curves employing the general equation y=xgamma
In order to avoid confusion with this well-known concept, it should be noted at the outset that the subject application is not employing the gamma function for its normal display-correction use, but rather for a totally different purpose. That totally different purpose is to develop a family of curves for use in a digital oscilloscope or the like that allow single knob control of both contrast and brightness simultaneously, and with good use of the available dynamic range.
A first attempt at a solution to the problems noted above was to map the intensity data to the display by using a family of standard gamma curves (i.e., of the form y=xgamma). Unfortunately, the results were unsatisfactory, and experts in the field who observed the work suggested that an approach based on the use of gamma curves simply would not work. Nevertheless, the subject inventor refused to abandon this line of endeavor, and instead realized that a modified set of gamma curves could be made to perform satisfactorily, if designed properly. FIGS. 1 and 2 are illustrations of such a family of modified gamma curves, each based on the same data, but graphed from different perspectives
Key to the successful modification of the gamma curves were the following realizations.
The first breakpoint on every curve should be set to zero.
The input to output transfer functions should be divided into two regions, with linear mapping (i.e., y=mx) being the boundary between the two. Rather than an equal division of the regions, it was decided to allocate 75% of the controllability to the brighter settings (i.e., those curves below the y=mx curve of FIG. 2), and 25% to the darker settings (i.e., those curves above the y=mx curve of FIG. 2).
For the darker settings the following formula is used:
For the brighter settings the following formula is used:
The above-noted constants are adjusted for wide dynamic range utilization, and so that the linear curve y=mx dividing the two regions represents a reasonable midpoint between the two sets of curves.
A curve is created at the highest intensity that exhibits zero values for any input, to cause any accumulated intensity to get full intensity or color. That is any intensity will exceed the zero threshold and produce a full brightness display.
Because bright gamma curves with good curvature cause lower breakpoint values to map very closely to zero, a significantly better use of dynamic range occurs by creating linear mappings for the bottom ⅔ of these gamma curves.
Finally, it is herein recognized that a jump from the brightest gamma curve to the "zero values" curve causes a jump in intensity, the top values of the brightest gamma curves should be changed to approximately linearly cover this gap.
FIG. 1 may be the best FIGURE to start with in order to easily understand the subject invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a family of fifteen curves is illustrated. Each curve represents a set of breakpoints for mapping 100 input pixel intensity values into a percentage of full scale of a total intensity value. Thus the output of this process is a percentage multiplication factor. One might expect the output value to represent a pixel intensity directly. However, the percentage multiplier produced by this process, is multiplied against a Full Scale Brightness value which itself is not a constant, but rather is subject to varying in accordance with other oscilloscope settings.
To understand operation in accordance with FIG. 1, note that all of the breakpoint curves are closely grouped together at the upper left portion of the graph. Thus, the transfer functions illustrated by the graph tend to produce dark screen values to the left of the graph, and bright screen values toward the right side of the graph. In this regard, it is important to note that at the left side of the graph, the lowest breakpoint curve is set such that the input signal must exceed 80% of the available range before an output signal for illuminating a pixel will be produced.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the same data is displayed in a different form, that is 100 curves having 15 breakpoints per curve. Note that in FIG. 2, higher curves on the graph produce dimmer displays. This is because the breakpoints (or thresholds) are set so high that most of the input pixel intensity signal will not exceed them. Consequently, only low level output pixel intensity data will be produced. Use of the uppermost curve maps the intensity data to be displayed with the least brightness and low contrast (i.e., as shown by the gentle slope of the curve). The second lowest curve of the graph maps the intensity data to be displayed with high brightness, but again with low contrast. The lowest curve is one which will produce maximum brightness for any level of input signal intensity. As noted above, it is herein recognized that because a jump from the brightest gamma curve to the "zero values" curve causes a jump in intensity, the top values of the brightest gamma curves have been changed to approximately linearly cover this gap, as shown by the 7 curves in the lower right portion of FIG. 2.
The linear mapping (y=mx) curve, labelled 210, divides the graph into two sections, with most (approximately 75%) of the controllability allocated to the brighter settings, and 25% allocated to the darker settings. This feature is also exhibited in FIG. 1 in the area of the graph extending from about 25% of full brightness to 100% of full brightness. With respect to FIG. 2, a user selects a set of breakpoints from a particular curve by operating the above-mentioned single intensity control knob.
Note that by making such a selection, the user is selecting both an offset (i.e., brightness) value, and a particular contrast (i.e., gain, slope) setting, at the same time. In the prior art versions of the TDS-7xxD oscilloscope mentioned above, these settings were made sequentially and iteratively. In that prior art system there were 25 brightness curves and 25 contrast curves for each brightness setting. In order to visualize how that system operates, consider any given curve of FIG. 2. In that prior art system, a user might select a brightness level first, and thereafter alter the slope of the line around that point by rotating the contrast control knob. (Alternatively, a user might select a contrast level first, and thereafter alter the offset of the line from that point by rotating the brightness control knob). Unfortunately, the user received no guidance as to which of these possible selections might provide the best use of the available dynamic range, and had to rely on his perception of what "looked good" on the screen.
In the particular case wherein color rather than illumination level is used to indicate relative recurrence of the a particular hit on a given pixel, good use of dynamic range translates to use of a rainbow of colors in the display. That is, a color representation of a low contrast signal would use only a few colors, whereas color representation of a high contrast signal would make use of a greater range of colors. In the prior art system described above, a particular arbitrary setting that "looked good" to a user in the monochrome (black and white) display might use very few colors in a color display, necessitating a readjustment of both the brightness and contrast knobs. It has been found that use of the present invention allows switching between color and monochrome displays without having to readjust the single knob intensity control.
The curves of FIGS. 1 and 2 translate to 100 sets of 15 breakpoints for use in the circuitry of FIG. 3, and produce a percentage value for multiplication of the above-mentioned Full Scale Brightness value. The Full Scale Brightness value may be either a theoretical (but still setting-dependent) maximum value or an actual measurement called Max Pix Value, depending upon which of two operating modes are selected. If a mode known as AutoBright is "on" (i.e., active) then the value chosen uses the actual measurement value Max Pix Value. In this mode, the maximum available is assigned to the highest actual count of hits on a pixel. If, on the other hand, AutoBright is "off" (i.e., inactive), then the theoretical setting-dependent maximum value is used. In passing it is noted that modified gamma curves of the subject invention could be used to directly select the actual display pixel intensity values desired, rather than producing a percentage multiplier. However, to do so would require computing and storing all possible values for use with both the AutoBright Mode "on" and "off", and storing all of those possible values for later retrieval and use. Such an arrangement was felt to be undesirable.
Referring to FIG. 3, we see a simplified block diagram of the flow of acquired data as it moves through the acquisition memory and rasterization section 3200 and into the display section 3300 of an oscilloscope according to the present invention. Vertical scaling and vertical offset functions are applied prior to digitizing, and are therefore not directly visible in this figure, but rather are part of the acquisition process 310. The trigger circuitry 315, under the direction of the process controller 380, monitors the input signal and other criteria (not shown) and communicates the occurrence of the satisfaction of the trigger conditions to the acquisition circuitry 310 and the process controller 380.
Process controller 380 contains timers and state machines that allow it to control all of the acquisition and rasterization process, including some of the optional processes that will be discussed below and are not shown in FIG. 3. As can be seen, it sends command and information to, and receives various signals from, almost every part of the acquisition memory and rasterization section 3200 as well the trigger 315 and acquisition circuitry 310. It notifies the raster combiner 385 when data is ready. The process controller 380 monitors the trigger circuitry 315 and starts the acquisition circuitry 310 and the rasterizer 330 at appropriate times, i.e., when there are enough acquisitions to rasterize or else so much time has elapsed from the first trigger or the last display update that new data is due at the display 396.
When data is due at the display 396, the process controller 380 starts the intensity mapping 350 and subsequently the DMA circuitry 370. As will be discussed in more detail below, the process controller 380 also determines when acquisition aborts are necessary, causes a trigger position calculator to run, and computes breakpoints.
As the output of the acquisition process 310, voltage-versus-time data-address pairs are stored in an acquisition memory 320. Acquisition memory 320 can hold two waveform records that are up to 512K samples long, or may be partitioned to hold up to 256 shorter waveform records each containing 768 samples. Each sample location contains 8 bits of information defining one of 256 possible voltage amplitude levels. 200 of these voltage amplitude levels correspond to one of the 200 pixel locations in each column of the 21-bit-per-pixel 200�500 acquisition raster memory 340.
Each acquisition memory and rasterization section 3200 can acquire 100,000 waveform records per second, with each record containing 500 data points, and with each data point acquired at Ins intervals, for a total of 500 ns per acquisition. Multiple acquisition memory and rasterization sections 3200, specifically two or four, can be interleaved together to double or quadruple the overall throughput available on one oscilloscope channel. The raster combiner 380 of the display section 3300 can multiplex the outputs of these multiple acquisition memory and rasterization sections 320 back together in the display section 3300.
The raster combiner 380 can also be made to translate intensity variations into color variations, with appropriate supportive changes being made in the display raster memories, 390 and 390′, and the raster display 396, if needed. Process controller 380 also communicates with a system memory module 382 having an array of 100 multibit memory locations 384 containing 100 sets of 15 breakpoint values in accordance with FIGS. 1 and 2. System Memory module 382 also includes a memory location 386 for holding the value of a pointer identifying which of breakpoints 1-100 is currently selected.
The contents of 200�500 21-bit-per-pixel acquisition raster memory 340 is then "mapped" 350 into a second, shorter depth, 4-bit-per-pixel acquisition raster memory 360 having the same planar (200�500) dimensions. This shorter 4-bit-per-pixel acquisition raster memory 360 still contains 200�500 pixel locations, but each pixel only has 4-bits-per-pixel of intensity information associated with it, and consequently can only display 16 levels of intensity. This "mapping" 350 is accomplished by the use of 15 breakpoints that (monotonically) define the boundaries of the 16 intensity levels.
In operation, process controller 380 selects a particular set of breakpoints from the group of 100 sets of breakpoints in response to the setting of a rotary Intensity Control knob 388.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the intensity mapping process 350 is controlled by break point values. FIG. 4 shows how these break points are used in the intensity mapper circuit to accomplish bit-per-pixel reduction in a desired manner. The assignment of 15 break point values determines the boundaries of the 16 intensity levels that will be produced by the 4-bit-per-pixel mapping.
The circuitry shown in FIG. 4 operates as a successive approximation digitizer as it reduces the bit count of the pixels from 21 to 4. The breakpoint values are multiplied in multiplier 352 of FIG. 3 by the percentage factor determined by the particular curve selected from the graph of FIG. 2 to generate modified breakpoint values. The input pixel intensity value is compared 452 with modified BreakPoint 8. If the input pixel intensity value is larger than the value of modified BreakPoint 8, Bit 3 (the MSB) of the mapped-to 4-bit pixel intensity value will be one. Conversely, if the input pixel intensity value is smaller than the value of modified BreakPoint 8, Bit 3 (the MSB) of the mapped-to 4-bit pixel intensity value will be zero. In similar fashion, the input pixel intensity value is compared 454 with either modified Break Point 4 or modified Break Point 12 of the input pixel intensity value range to determine Bit 2 of the mapped-to 4-bit pixel intensity value. The selection of BreakPoint 4 or BreakPoint 12 for comparison depends on which output of multiplexer 453 is selected by the outcome of the previous comparison 452.
Similarly, the results of the first two comparisons 452,454 select which output of multiplexer 455 the input pixel intensity value is to be compared 456 with, Break Point 2, 6, 10, or 14. The result of this comparison 456 is Bit 1 of the mapped-to 4-bit intensity value. This process is repeated one additional time, with the output of multiplexer 457 being one of Break Points 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, or 15, depending on the outcome of the first three comparisons 452,454,456, and with that output being compared 458 with the input pixel intensity value to determine the state of Bit 0. The output of this process, which can also be characterized as a binary search to locate mapped-to bins, is the 4-bit pixel intensity value.
What has been described is an intuitive and user-friendly system for simultaneously adjusting both contrast and brightness with a single control, and also exhibiting good use of the available dynamic range thereby permitting the same setting to be used in both color and monochrome modes of operation.
The term "process controller" as applied to element 380 is intended to include a microcomputer, or a microprocessor, and is also intended to encompass other forms of controllers such as dedicated hardware controllers including ASICs.
The term "selector" as used herein refers to any control operable by a user to select a function. The term "selector" is intended to include physical keys, softkeys, touch screens, rotary selectors, and menu driven systems.
While the invention has been described with respect to a digital oscilloscope, it is herein recognized that it would is also applicable to other types of test and measurement equipment, such as spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and the like, and such modification is deemed to lie within the scope of the following claims.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Quiet and satisfactory for our needs. Run down in some respects,loose railings on stairs and in need of a revamp.
needs refurbishing and up-grading of gardens and general maintenance - persons in room next door had radio on loudly from 5.00 am
it was easy to find and close to acer arena. the cleanliness of the room was very poor.
close to where I was working No fresh air or ability to get some air into the room with ho fan or air conditioning and a locked door and window to outside
The location & accessability The restaurant was closed during our stay, as was room service. Breakfast was below standard, especially for the price.These are the main two reasons this hotel received a lower score on comfort & services.
the pool the bed and the tv, they're old.
Close and convenient to where we needed to go, Concord Hospital. Very noisy, traffic and other people staying at Motel during the night.
It was conviently located to where I needed to go.
The reception man new the area very well and answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. In the bathroom, the idea of the soap, cream, shaving foam, sower gel, shampoo and conditioner being in the dispenser is great, though I might have think in todays day and age, using censers would be more appropriate and guest friendly. Also, the bed was sooooooo comfortable!! Firstly, the smell of the two rooms when we entered was not pleasant at all, on smelt like smoke even though it wasn't a smoking room and the other room smelt stale and musky. Secondly, the couch was very sunken and uncomfortable. Lastly, the bathroom is much too small for comfort and ability to move!
The breakfast was ok and i was very thankful that i had only booked for one night and not any longer. The room was decorated in a 1960 style and was awful to say the least. the combined shower and toilet were so little that you could not close the door and use the washbasin. The TV waqs so old that you could not read the words written on it or the control.
easy access transport, self help continental breakfast in very pleasant courtyard setting
The day staff is friendly that opposite to evening staff. Noise, tired old bathroom, crack on toilet seat, unsafe in terms of poor security lock.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Sizeable and quiet Rooms. Interior of the rooms look tired. Only continental breakfast starting from 07.30. No Lunch, Dinner, or Room Service available. 1 Channel reception on TV.
Staff were courteous and friendly. Location was convenient for sight seeing and value for money.
The atrium in the middle of the building was lovely and gave a great atmosphere to the place. It was surprisingly quiet, given its location on a main road.
We arrived late at night and left early so we really cannot comment on this. Late staff was not very helpful when we asked where we could get meal.
located on a major road, close to trains. like the open courtyard with kitchen facility. Could do with an iron and hair dryer.
Clean and spacious room, free Wi-fi. Definetely going back! The parrots outside woke us up at 6 am.
Free Parking and internet The hotel was undergoing renovations which were not told about at time of booking. The room was not clean to many standards, on the one day we did request our room to be made up the sheets were simply thrown over the bed. Staff where incompetent and dismissive. Was not what we expected from the photos and description, there were cracks in bath and sink not an overall possitive experience. Could have gotten better accomodation for alot cheaper.
Although it is situated near a big road , it still was quiet which is positive The basin was all marked but the worst was what happened in the middle of the night. Our toilet systern shattered on the floor during the night without reason . We called the night concierge and told him that it was dangerous to leave the debris on the floor as we needed to use the toilet during the night .He told us where the public toilet was in the hotel . When we said we would still need to use the bathroom to have a wash in the morning and we could get hurt, he went away and came back with a broom that he handed to us. We had to sweep the bathroom floor ourselves. It's inadmissable. He should at least have cleaned the floor and perhaps try to get us a discount to keep a customer happy.
The location and relatively low costs Insect on floor was not removed although room apparently had cleaned.Problems with handling of Master Cards (mine and other's) that were not accepted at your hotel but worked perfectly at other places.
The hotel was convenient to public transport and to the center of Sydney. It was affordable.
Location of the hotel and large room Did not receive a room with the same bed setup as advertised on this website
This time the weekday housekeeper was very good. Courteous, clean, consistent. Front desk - some of them were really good - one in particular checked my account and refunded me because apparently I overpaid. The weekend housekeeper was lousy - she did not even make the bed properly nor was she clean. She changed the bathroom towels but did not clean anything in the room. I thought that was terrible. May I also add that the hotel should invest on new curtains or at least have them cleaned as they're dirty. I've stayed at the hotel about 5 times already since the beginning of 2009 and I just wished they'd be a lot cleaner. Also, the glass doors leading to the balcony have not been cleaned. Front desk - while some can be very helpful, others can be just a little unconcerned that won't even check your account balance or anything when you pay. It may be an oversight but I think by going more professional, it will add value to the hotel.
near to the university Shower water fixtures leaking water, telephone out of order
Value for money, convenient to shops, airport, racecourse etc
- Near the university,easy transportation and the hotel offers good price. - The cleaness of the hotel. 7 days in hotel, the bad for the kids only cleaned once because we requested it. The floor seems dirty as well.
I liked the value and that they had rooms for a maximum of six people, since we have four adults traveling. This hotel was not very clean. I am an avid traveler and have stayed in many different hotels and don't have what I would call high standards. But the room was tiny and smelled. The comforters had large stains on them, and beds were not sturdy. The lobby looks very nice and the downstairs restaurant seems nice (we didn't eat there) but then you get to the rooms and they are not as nice. The location is also troublesome, located on Anzac Parade which is a heavily traveled road that is hard to cross. I would recommend somewhere closer to a train station.
It was a great price and had everything we needed. The interior fittings (carpet, walls etc) are due for a refurbishing, but for the price I really don't care.

This is the same video I used in the "Not just another car show, hot rod, rat rod ride." but I wanted to put it up again so you could hear the car.

Surrender, 2
The dinnertime battle is over.
Creative Director: Ben Coulson
Art Directors: Paul Meates, Donna Stevens
Copywriter: Vanilla Stener
Illustrator: Philip Holliday
Photographer: Paul Torcello
I liked the first one, till I saw the second one was almost exactly the same. Use your brain. Come up with more than one idea.
As a campaign, I think it works. There could be more depth to it, but it does well.
Idea not bad. Crap photoshop work.
And if the battle is over, why isn't the kid eating? Or at least surrendering or holding his fork. He still looks pretty reluctant to touch the pasta...
interesting: the first comment on this, "How come the kid has a shadow and the bowl doesn't?".
Guys sorry but why he fuck is the shadow so important! Shouldn't we talk about the message, etc.
yes, of course execution is important but the shadow plays a little role. there're other points to be discussed before than the stupid shadow!

Chemical Risk Assessments
Epson provided eight instructors at government request for a Chemical Risk Assessment Workshop held in Suwa in Nagano, Japan, in February 2016. The workshop was arranged to teach the purpose of chemical risk assessments and techniques for assessing risks using case studies and other materials. Kazuo Yajima, who heads up the health and safety section of the Okaya Labor Standards Inspection Office, says, "Epson is a leader in the Suwa area . I would like the company to help spread and entrench labor safety and health programs in our community."
Co-sponsored by the Okaya Labor Standards Inspection Office and the Suwa Labor Standards Association, the workshop was held to prepare area companies to comply with a 2016 amendment to the Japanese Industrial Safety and Health Act that will make chemical risk assessments compulsory. The workshop was attended by 85 people from 67 companies in the Suwa area. Epson was asked to provide instructors for the workshop because of its proactive efforts to implement internal chemical risk assessments immediately after government chemical risk assessment guidelines were first announced in 2006. Going forward, Epson will continue to communicate and work closely with local governments in communities where it operates.
Appointment as Chairing Company of the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association (JBMIA)
In May 2016, Epson was appointed as the chairing company of the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association (JBMIA) and Minoru Usui, president of Epson, was elected as the president of the JBMIA. JBMIA is an industry group that aims to promote the general development of business machines and the information system industry associated with them, developing the Japanese economy, and improving office environments.
The Association represents manufacturers of copiers, all-in-ones, printers, digital printing machines, data projectors, shredders, document management systems and so on. The Association has made policy recommendations and requested deregulation concerning the environment and trade both inside and outside governments and agencies, released statistics for office equipment shipped, and pursued standardization of various types of equipment. JBMIA will continue to respond to diversifying environmental regulations, strengthening cooperation with overseas organizations to build a global business system, and contributing to the development of industry and society.
Dialogue with Local Residents
Seiko Epson and Epson Group companies in Japan organize events to exchange ideas with the local residents of the communities in which we operate. We strive to build a positive relationship of trust with the community by cultivating a deeper understanding of our environmental initiatives and risk management system. In fiscal 2015, we held such events at eight business sites in Japan.
