Convolution and polynomial multiplication of
fi objects
c = conv(a,b)
c = conv(a,b,'shape')
c = conv(a,b) outputs the convolution of
input vectors
a and
b, at least
one of which must be a
fi object.
c = conv(a,b,'shape') returns a subsection
of the convolution, as specified by the
shape parameter:
full — Returns the full
convolution. This option is the default shape.
same — Returns the central
part of the convolution that is the same size as input vector
valid — Returns only those
parts of the convolution that the function computes without zero-padded
edges. In this case, the length of output vector
c is
fimath properties associated with the
inputs determine the
numerictype properties of
fi object
If either
a or
b has
a local
fimath object,
conv uses
fimath object to compute intermediate quantities
and determine the
numerictype properties of
If neither
a nor
b have
an attached fimath,
conv uses the default fimath
to compute intermediate quantities and determine the
numerictype properties
If either input is a built-in data type,
conv casts
it into a
fi object using best-precision rules
before the performing the convolution operation.
The output
fi object
c always
uses the default fimath.
Refer to the MATLAB®
conv reference
page for more information on the convolution algorithm.
The following example illustrates the convolution of a 22-sample sequence with a 16-tap FIR filter.
x is a 22-sample sequence of signed
values with a word length of 16 bits and a fraction length of 15 bits.
h is the 16 tap FIR filter.
u = (pi/4)*[1 1 1 -1 -1 -1 1 -1 -1 1 -1]; x = fi(kron(u,[1 1])); h = firls(15, [0 .1 .2 .5]*2, [1 1 0 0]);
x is a
fi object,
you do not need to cast
h into a
fi object
before performing the convolution operation. The
conv function
does so using best-precision scaling.
Finally, use the
conv function to convolve
the two vectors:
y = conv(x,h);
The operation results in a signed
fi object
y with
a word length of 36 bits and a fraction length of 31 bits. The default
fimath properties
associated with the inputs determine the
numerictype of
the output. The output does not have a local

The wait seemed to last forever, but today, finally, another DC SCORES season is upon us.
Come 3:30 p.m., 1,500 students at 42 elementary and middle schools throughout Washington, DC, will have a team. Each student will receive a T-shirt with their school name on the back -- a shirt they'll wear every day for the next 12 weeks as a reminder of the community they're representing.
For those just learning about DC SCORES or reading this blog for the first time, here's a brief introduction to the organization and what will take place during the fall season. This video is also a great way to learn about our program.
DC SCORES' History - Julie Kennedy, a former teacher at Marie Reed Learning Center in Adams Morgan (now Marie Reed Elementary School), invented this complementary combination of activities in 1994 when she began working with a group of 15 girls with little to do after school. Kennedy learned that the team-centered relationships built on the soccer field translated into poetry workshops, and the development of teamwork and leadership prepared students to act as agents of change in their communities through service-learning projects.
DC SCORES' Mission - DC SCORES builds teams through after-school programs for 1,500 low-income DC youth at 42 schools by instilling self-expression, physical fitness, and a sense of community.
DC SCORES' Model - DC SCORES uses an innovative model combining poetry and spoken word (fall season), soccer (fall and spring), and service-learning (spring season). Our holistic after-school program helps DC SCORES students improve their fitness levels by playing soccer; develop their literacy skills and capacity for self-expression by writing poetry; and establish deep community connections through service projects; all while developing closer bonds with teachers and peers.
Our program follows a school-based model for after-school programming by hiring and training teachers (called our "SCORE Corps" coaches) from each school. During the fall season, students spend half their afternoons practicing soccer, half their afternoons learning how to write and perform poetry, and one day a week (beginning Sept. 26 and 27) playing another school during our Game Days.
DC SCORES Calendar - We have a lot going on during the fall season. Here's a rundown of key dates:
DC SCORES fun facts (a few)
Get involved! DC SCORES would not be able to continue our growth and keep alive our vision of providing a team for every child in the District lacking one if not for our wide-ranging support. Whether you can volunteer every week or at a big event, provide a pro bono service, or support DC SCORES financially, you're making an indelible impact for low-income DC youth. Thank you for being on our team. We hope to see you at a Game Day, in a classroom, or at an event in the coming months!
The 18th Annual DC SCORES Jamboree! was epitomized by its moments.
Perhaps none better defined the June 1 celebration of the spring season than the one in the aftermath of the City Cup championship soccer games that kicked off the event.
Before the Burrville Elementary School girls team received the trophy for winning a seventh consecutive title, a girl clad in her red DC SCORES uniform stood up and -- in front of DC Councilmembers Tommy Wells and David Grosso -- said that all participants from the four teams that played in the games were winners. She then walked over to the seated Marie Reed Elementary girls and the Wheatley Education Campus boys, giving out high fives.
Thus began a day that involved winning and trophies, but left all participants smiling -- and tired -- after several hours of soccer games, facepainting and much more.
The Jamboree! was, by far, the largest-scale DC SCORES event in the organization's 19-year history. Over 1,450 youth representing 45 schools joined hundreds of parents, dozens of volunteers, and a handful of awesome program partners at Anacostia Park.
To give an idea of just how large the event was, 128 elementary and middle school soccer games were played on 14 fields. And that was just the soccer.
There were also:
Did I mention the 128 soccer games?
They began with the City Cup championship games at 8:15 a.m. The Burrville Eagles girls team -- a DC SCORES dynasty -- listened to the constant urgings of "PASS! PASS!" from their coach Daryl Forte and used teamwork to defeat Reed in the girls game. In the boys game, Reed -- DC SCORES' flagship school where the program began in 1994 -- defeated first-time championship game participant Wheatley.
All four teams received trophies from Executive Director Amy Nakamoto, and special guests Wells and Grosso hung medals around the students' necks.
The championship games complete, the Jamboree! kicked off for everyone -- with seven elementary school games and seven middle schools games played simultaneously for over 5 hours. Teams were guaranteed three games, and some played as many as seven. The games were all refereed by DC SCORES volunteers, who could be spotted in their neon yellow T-shirts all over the park grounds throughout the entire event.
After losing two of their first three games, the MacFarland boys -- playing as a DC SCORES team for the final time -- rallied to win two consecutive games. Shaw Middle School at Garnet-Patterson, which is also closing at the end of the school year, had a magical four-game streak that ended just short of the boys championship, won for a third straight time by Paul Public Charter School.
On the middle school girls side, Capital City Public Charter School participants thought their day was over after a loss and began walking to the parking lot. But it wasn't. The tournament's double-elimination format gave them a chance to keep playing, and they did just that all the way to the championship to cap off the school's first year as a DC SCORES program participant.
By 3pm, the music died down, the last games were whistled complete, the final trophies were rewarded, and kids from 45 schools boarded buses content and exhausted from a day that perfectly encapsulated everything the DC SCORES spring season is about and included many of the people, partners and volunteers who make it all possible.
DC SCORES' winter season takes place over 8 weeks, at select DC SCORES schools across the District. During this break from the regular soccer, creative writing, and service-learning progaming, AmeriCorps members teach youth about healthy eating and how to navigate the aisles of a grocery store using the USDA's Power of Choice curriculum. Aside from the knowledge and skills students gain during Power of Choice, they continue to form positive relationships with their peers and coaches, and stay active during the time of year when many youth resort to eating larger portions of unhealthier foods and spend their after school time at home on the couch.
The DC SCORES winter session came to an end on Friday, February 22. On one of the final days of programming, I joined the Thomson Tigers as they reflected on best practices and lessons learned:
I sit down with Stephanie, as she waits her turn to warm up. She tells me she's improved in her dribbling abilities, and she's better at passing back and forth. I ask her for advice — if she were to pass on one recommendation, gleaned from her experience during the Power of Choice program, what would it be?
"I'd say, get healthy, get energy-ed, get exercise."
I get a sense of that energy when, a moment later, Coach Marco blows his whistle and Stephanie takes off, running the entire span of the gym within 30 seconds.
Just watching her tires me out. I clearly need to get "energy-ed."
During the team break for water, I ask Daniel C. if he's changed since the beginning of Winter SCORES. He thinks for a moment.
"I'm taller," he reflects.
"Is that because of all the healthy food?" I ask.
"Yeah … the broccoli."
I ask Daniel if he has any recommendations for a healthier lifestyle, any major takeaways from the season.
"People have to look at the back of what they're buying … you have to eat more healthy things."
Luis has changed, too — some of his habits are different today, thanks to the Power of Choice program.
"I don't drink so much pop. I drink a lot of water now. I'm a better soccer player too."
Just in time for spring training, Sebastian's learned that teamwork is the way to go.
"We can do more together than we can do by ourselves," he explains. "It's better to work together."
The Tigers have improved their soccer skills, developed their notion of teamwork, and expanded their understanding of nutrition to best fuel up for the field. From where I'm sitting, (on the bleachers, avoiding the ball) they've built a strong team that is well prepared and ready to take on the toughest competition.
Their hard work has made me want to change, too, and shown me the value of taking small steps to being a healthier person and teammate. In this spirit, before we leave, I ask these experts to advise me on the healthiest way to spend my evening.
"Get exercise, and you'll be more energized," Juan Carlos says.
As for dinner?
"Vegetables .. .tomatoes and broccoli," says Daniel. "A medium amount."
Juan Carlos adds, "Apples, bananas, grapefruits … a lot of fruit."
A final suggestion from Luis: "soup with vegetables, maybe some chicken. And carrot juice."
I take notes. Shopping list in hand, my night becomes exponentially more nutritious. With knowledge and practical know-how like that, it's clear the spring soccer and service-learning season will be successful for the Thomson Tigers. In just a couple short weeks, they'll be back on the field putting the winter session of preparation into action.
I can't wait to see them shine some more.
Last week marked the completion of the 18th fall season of DC SCORES programming.
Hard to believe, right?
Was it really that long ago that Julie Kennedy, a teacher at Marie Reed, introduced the game of soccer and then -- on a rainy day -- the art of poetry to her students?
The program, of course, began with that one group of youth and quickly grew. In 1999, it led to the birth of America SCORES, which now has 14 affiliates throughout the U.S. from Boston and Atlanta to Seattle and L.A.
And to this day, the Arts-Athletics-Academics model -- as simple as it sounds -- makes an indelible impact on the lives of thousands of youth. If ever there was a lack of interest in our program or the necessity of what we provide waned, we might have to change.
Instead, we grow -- serving over 1,450 youth at 42 schools -- and continue to strive to serve any youth in the District who wants to be on a team.
Just last week, we saw how important that is to our students. At our 15th Annual Poetry Slam! on Wednesday and Thursday, teams of students showed incredible pride in their schools and communities through self-expression.
One of the dozens of impressive and courageous performances came from a Wheatley Education Campus student who, with his teammates at his side and his lips quivering, read a touching and powerful poem about his father's infidelity. Without DC SCORES, those feelings likely would have remained inside him.
The official soccer games season concluded with the Capital Cup championship games on Nov. 20, but last week demonstrated the importance to youth of having an outlet through which to play. On Friday, the last day of the DC SCORES season, Sacred Heart Bilingual School traveled to MacFarland Middle School to play the Crusaders in a make-up game.
The game had no meaning in the standings. A win wouldn't lead to another game. Yet the kids showed up excited for the chance to play a real game with a referee against another school. It was a big deal to them -- and an opportunity they only get through DC SCORES.
Hearing about Friday's experience reminded me of a DC SCORES game day from earlier in the season involving Perry Street Prep and Wheatley. In a rare mishap, we didn't have goals at Wheatley that afternoon. I thought the students might be disappointed.
Instead, they barely noticed the large orange cones the coaches and I set up. There was an infectious enthusiasm on the field that afternoon, a joy derived from the basic opportunity to run up and down a field kicking and passing a soccer ball.
That, to me, demonstrated what DC SCORES -- and our affiliates nationwide -- means to the students involved. They don't care about manicured fields. Just give them a ball, teammates to pass to, and some green space, and they'll have a great time and improve their physical fitness in doing so.
Give them a $1 composition book and a pen, and they'll feel the freedom to write down their innermost feelings. Then give them a stage on which to express what they've penned and a microphone, and they'll feel empowered.
Eighteen years since this program started, it's amazing to see how effective the SCORES model still is and the impact it has on thousands of youth. We can't wait for next season!
August 6, 2012
With summer camp coming to a close last week, I took the time to reflect on the summer's best moments. Nothing has been more valuable than the alumni's dedication to community service, a passion first introduced to them when participating in DC SCORES as young poet-athletes.
This summer there were over 15 dedicated volunteers who came out as coaches, camp counselors, and all-around DC SCORES enthusiasts. We want to take the time to personally highlight a few extraordinary individuals who went above and beyond in donating their time to our program.
Nana, a rising junior at Wilson High School
Saul, a rising senior at Bell Multicultural
Rachel, a rising junior at Wilson
For Nana, he wanted nothing more than to "spend the summer showing kids why DC SCORES was so important to me when I was their age." As a leader on the soccer field, he took ownership of his soccer skills. He showed the campers that if you work hard enough and play with heart instead of just your mind, than you can grow into an amazing athlete.
Saul said it wasn't difficult to find an incentive to work at camp, even though his peers were being paid through our Summer Youth Employment Program. "Seeing the kids every day, and hearing them chant my name at camp was more than enough," Saul said. "I made some great friends on staff too, friends that have lived near me this whole time and I had no idea!"
Our staff camaraderie was also one of the things Rachel looked forward to when returning to volunteer for a second summer: "This is what I love to do, and I've made great friends along the way!" When asked what her favorite part of the camp was, she replied, "I have to choose just one?!"
Nana's favorite part was "seeing how the kids could develop better skills over the summer. I think they really did get better!"
Saul, on the other hand, said, "Seeing the program change from when I was a camper; it's really cool to see."
The interactions between these high school volunteers and elementary aged campers have been interesting to watch! By the last week of camp, Saul walked the campers from his neighborhood home day after day because their mom works in the evening. And he was invited to this neighbor's family cookout!
Nana has become a bit of a soccer legend in these parts, counting down the days until he can follow in fellow alum Josselin's footsteps in the Nike Chance Challenge. He now has 40 young campers rooting for him all the way!
Rachel says she can't wait to come back next summer, even though the kids still remind her of that time she fell on her face during soccer practice.
To the high school students who volunteered their summers full of pool days and beach trips to make our camps the best they could be: I will always find your commitment inspiring.
To all of our volunteers this summer: we extend a gracious and sincere thank you in the form of a very, very high-five!.

This Medicaid waiver is designed to help disabled individuals remain living in their homes or community instead of moving into a skilled nursing facility. Elderly residents of Alabama are eligible should they meet the medical requirements. Neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease meet the medical diagnosis requirements. To help with the move out of nursing home care, the waiver pays for home modifications, assistive technology and personal care services that increase a disabled individual's ability to live independently.
A Medicaid-certified home health agency must operate the personal care services unless there is no such service available in the individual's geographic area. In this situation, the participant may select friends, neighbors and some family members to be compensated for the personal care services they provide. However, children, spouses and parents are barred from being paid as caregivers.
The SAIL waiver may also be called the State of Alabama Independent Living Waiver and is administered by the Alabama Medicaid Agency and is operated by the Department of Rehabilitation Services. Also, to avoid confusion, one should note that there are 3 sub-programs under this waiver: Homebound Program, Medicaid Waiver Program, and Independent Living Support Program.
The SAIL waiver takes part in the Personal Choices Program, which allows individuals to direct their own personal care. Another Alabama Medicaid program that might be of interest is the Elderly and Disabled Waiver.
To be eligible for the SAIL waiver, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a physical disability that requires nursing home level care. This disability must not be related to aging and must have an onset before the age of 60.
Although they require nursing home level care, the individual must live at home or be willing to move from a skilled nursing facility back to their home or that of a family member to receive services under this waiver. In addition, they must be financially eligible to receive Medicaid HCBS (waivers) and for this, there are both income and asset considerations.
2016 Alabama Medicaid Waiver Income Limits
Individual applicants are limited to a monthly income of no greater than $2,199. However, if they are married and their spouse is not applying for Medicaid, they can allocate some of their joint income to the non-applicant spouse as a living stipend.
2016 Alabama Medicaid Waiver Asset Limits
The asset limit for a single applicant is $2,000. In the situation where there is also a non-applicant spouse, that spouse is permitted up to $119,220 in countable assets. These limits are somewhat misleading in that many resources are, or can be, considered exempt. For example, the full value of one's home is exempt, provided the applicant lives there, or plans to return to the home, and it is valued under $552,000. A car, burial plots, final expense insurance, and even some personal effects are can be exempt.
As implied by the words "Independent Living" in the Waiver name, the services provided under this waiver are selected to help participants achieve that objective.
One should contact the Alabama Medicaid office at 1-800-362-1504 to learn more about this waiver program and begin the application process. While open to residents statewide, participation may be limited due to enrollment caps on the program.

Tom Colicchio, Head Judge: "I liked the idea that there was a nice little salad in there that cooled off some of the heat."
Pickled Vegetables
To Serve
For the Pork:
1. Preheat the oven to 275°F.
2. Season the pork generously with salt and ras al-hanout.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the pork and cook until well browned on all sides, about 12 minutes total.
4. Put the pork in a large roasting pan and pour in the stocks and 1/2 cup water. Roast for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
5. Remove the pork to a cutting board and pour the cooking juices into a small saucepan. Cook the juices over high heat until reduced to about 3/4 cup; shred the pork into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. In a large bowl, toss the pork with the reduced juices.
For the Pickled Vegetables:
1. In a large nonreactive pot, combine the vinegar, sugar, fennel, and 3 cups water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
2. Put the carrots, onion, and chiles in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the hot vinegar mixture into the bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the vegetables steam for 20 minutes. Pour out all but about 1 cup of the liquid. Keep the vegetables, covered, in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature when ready to serve.
To Serve:
1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the pitas, one at a time.
2. Pile the pork onto the pitas, top with pickled vegetables, and serve immediately.
Ras al-hanout (pronounced "RAS-all-hah-NOOT") is a Moroccan spice blend. It's available in specialty and Middle Eastern markets, or you can make your own. Combine 2 teaspoons each ground cumin, ground ginger, and salt, and 1 teaspoon each freshly ground black pepper, ground cayenne, ground coriander, and ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.

Suizenji Garden reopened on May 16 after closure due to the earthquake. Regular admission hours resumed on June 1, 2016. The sesmic activity caused the water level of the garden's central pond to drop temporarily.
Suizenji Garden (ÉģæOÄøɼĒēĆ, Suizenji Jōjuen) is a spacious, Japanese style landscape garden in Kumamoto, best enjoyed by strolling along a circular path. It was built by the Hosokawa family in the 17th century.
The garden reproduces the 53 post stations of the Tokaido, the important road, which connected Edo with Kyoto during the Edo Period, in miniature form, including a small Mt. Fuji.

Abortion is meant to cause death. Every single time an abortion is performed, the goal is to kill a human being. Sometimes it kills a baby and a woman. Sometimes a baby escapes the procedure but is murdered for being a survivor. To abortion supporters, this is called "choice."
This report discusses aspects of the trial of late-term abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell and the abortion industry. While anyone who has heard about Gosnell cannot help but be horrified by what he did to those babies, many would probably be surprised about what happens to babies aborted earlier in the pregnancy. People will probably also be surprised that few states have regulations that cover abortion clinics, even to meet the standard expected of veterinary clinics in the states. Fetal-pain bills and infant-born-alive protections will be discussed, as well as people trying to push the argument to justify infanticide. Sadly, the logical progression from aborting babies in the womb is infanticide, excused for the same reason months or years after they are born, because they are "inconvenient."
The United States Supreme Court decisions in 1973, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, made the killing of babies in the womb legal during all three trimesters for any reason. In answer to the ability to kill a baby in the third trimester, some states, like Pennsylvania, have set arbitrary limits as to when a baby in the womb is no longer allowed to be killed. Let's dive into the world those fateful Court decisions wrought. [More …]

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The purpose of a 401(k) is to provide meaningful retirement income to a plan participant during his or her retirement. Most plans fail to meet this objective due to mistakes by the participants and plan sponsors. This applies to both large and small companies.
Here are some mistakes participants make with their 401(k):
1. Not participating in the plan at all.
2. Failing to contribute adequate percentages to get the company match.
3. Not understanding how much needs to be contributed to have the desired retirement income.
4. If the participant does understand how much should be contributed, failing to put that level into the plan.
5. Not understanding the level of risk in the investments selected.
6. Taking too much risk or too little risk with the investments.
7. Thinking that the "education" provided by the financial services company associated with the plan is investment advice.
8. Believing that if one target date fund is good, thinking that investing in two or more would be better.
9. Not understanding the costs of the 401(k).
10. Putting too much into company stock.
11. Borrowing from the 401(k).
12. Cashing out the plan when changing jobs.
13. Rolling over the 401(k) at retirement into an IRA with a broker-dealer who takes large commissions out of the account on the sale of new investments.

Australian Dream Cream Overview
The product Australian Dream Cream is a brand of topical pain reliever that helps treat a number of different conditions. While its main purpose appears to be the treatment of pain from Arthritis, the cream also can help ease backache, sprains, muscle strains and bruising. It is sold from many retail stores worldwide and has a very simple but informative product website. The Australian Dream Cream manufacturer is well established and all contact detail for them are provided on the site, including information about their history. The site does not sell the product directly to consumers but does provide a link to help consumers locate a store that carries the brand. Australian Dream Cream is available in three different sizes (2oz, 4oz and 9oz) and the cost varies depending on size and retailer. The general cost is in the range of $20-$50 per jar and all purchases have a 100% 'empty jar' guarantee offered by the manufacturer.
While the product website does not contain any consumer testimonials or reviews, Australian Dream Cream is endorsed by the well-known game show producer Chuck Woolery who appears on the site as a spokesman for the brand.
Australian Dream Cream Product Description
Australian Dream Cream is specifically designed to enhance the body's own response to pain by increasing the flow of blood to the affected area. It does so using a natural blend of ingredients that work fast and effectively but without the burning sensation often caused by other topical pain relievers. It is applied directly to the painful area so it can start working upon contact. It can be used 3-4 times a day, with just a small amount required per use. There are no specific details provided on the product website as to how soon results can be expected or if it needs continuous use in order to maintain results, although this is likely dependant on the nature and severity of the pain.
Specific ingredients in Australian Dream Cream include
Histamine Dihydrochloride, Emu Oil, Chondroitin, MSM, Glucosamine
There are several ingredients of note used in the Australian Dream Cream formula, although the substance mainly responsible for increasing blood flow is Histamine Dihydrochloride. A natural vasodilator, this ingredient allows a greater volume of blood reach the painful area, helping the body heal itself more effectively. It is combined with the well-known pain relieving ingredients Chondroitin and Glucosamine which are often used together for their superior joint pain benefits. It is not clear how effective they are when used topically however, as they are usually found in oral capsules.
Unlike creams that contain Capsaicin, Australian Dream Cream does not sting or burn the skin making it ideal for all skin types. While it uses certain emollients for ease of application, the cream is non greasy and, because it uses no menthol or camphor, will not leave a strong odor.
Australian Dream Cream Advantages
- Australian Dream Cream is non-burning
- All ingredients are listed
- There is an 'empty jar' money back guarantee
- The product is widely available in retail stores
- Australian Dream Cream has a celebrity spokesman
- The formula contains Histamine Dihydrochloride
Australian Dream Cream Disadvantages
- Scientific data is not provided
- There are no customer testimonials
Australian Dream Cream The Bottom Line
Australian Dream Cream uses several natural ingredients that will certainly help relieve pain associated with arthritis and other joint and muscular conditions. However, most creams of this type only benefit over the short term and for more severe joint pain, the consumer may need to also use an oral supplement which can actually help repair and rebuild damaged cartilage. Overall, Australian Dream Cream is a reputable, good quality brand that, despite being one of the more expensive brands on the market, can be relied upon for fast, non-burning pain relief.
Below we have ranked the best topical joint pain supplements to make it easy for you to find effective and safe products. The ranking is based on crucial factors like potential to alleviate joint pain, potential to promote joint cartilage and tissue regeneration, potential to prevent recurring damage, potential to improve overall joint health, and quality of ingredients. In the end, we were able to come up with the bottom-line value of each product.

The present invention relates to a device for arraying, i.e. laying in planar form the ends of optical fibers spaced out around an axially symmetrical structure.
The arraying device is more particularly intended for positioning the optical fiber ends parallel on a plane, the optical fibers being equi-distributed around a grooved ring of a cylindrical cable that has been stripped for the purpose of connecting it to another optical fiber cable.
The arraying device comprises a dividing member having openings through each of which an optical fiber will pass and that are extended by channels whose ends are aligned along an axis. This axis defines the layout of the plane where the fibers are to be held in a coplanar and parallel fashion with a view to laying them on the flat holder, generally grooved, of a connecting device for joining the fibers of two linear arrays end to end.
Means, such as sliding members parallel to the dividing member and having V-shaped opposite edges, are provided in order to push the fibers from the openings into the bottoms of the respective channels. Once the fibers are in the bottom of the channels, they are held in a parallel and coplanar position in the dividing member.
However, so that they may be held together at a later stage in such mutual positions over a significant length, the invention further provides means such as a comb which maintains the fibers as is in front of the dividing member. Relative movement of the comb with respect to the dividing member enables to comb the fibers parallel along a plane. After this, the fibers between the comb and the dividing member may be laid on a suitable plane aligning holder or are held together by adhesive tape or bonder.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the arraying device with reference to the accompanying correspondent drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an optical fiber cable with a grooved cylindrical ring;
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a planar holder for connecting two optical fiber cables;
FIG. 3 shows the bell-shaped curvatures applied to the ends of optical fibers in a cable awaiting connection;
FIG. 4 is a schematic side view along the longitudinal axis ZZ' of the arraying device as the fibers are introduced through the divider openings;
FIG. 5 is a front view of a divider;
FIG. 6 is a detailed front view, on a greater scale than FIG. 5, showing how the channels are spaced out along the transversal axis XX';
FIG. 7 is a front cross-sectional view of the arraying device showing the means for pushing the fibers into the divider channels;
FIG. 8 shows the comb sliding into contact with the fibers;
FIG. 9 is a front view of the comb and the associated hinged lever;
FIG. 10 is a side view analogous to FIG. 4 once a collar has been withdrawn to fan the fibers out;
FIG. 11 is a schematic front view showing the superposition of the sliding member slits and the divider channel bottoms as the fibers are being aligned;
FIG. 12 is a view analogous to FIG. 8 after relative movements of the comb and the divider frame; and
FIGS. 13 and 14 schematize how fibers are hold in a linear array by adhesive strips or bonders once the fibers have been combed as in FIG. 12.
For a clearer understanding of the invention, a description will first of all be given of the initial and final positions of the optical fiber ends of a cylindrical cable where the transition from one position to the other is obtained using the arraying device embodying the invention.
It is assumed that the fiber cable 1 comprises ten cylindrical shaped optical fibers 2 that are equally spaced out around the grooved circumference of an axially symmetrical structure such as a cylindrical ring 10. Each groove 11 is generally helicoidal and contains one optical fiber 2, as shown in FIG. 1, or several optical fibers depending on the cable type used. The cable usually comprises a steel-wire carrier 12 at the center of ring 10 and a sheathing 13 generally composite around the ring 10. The external jacket of the sheathing 13 is made up of wound tape. The invention may also be applied to other axial symmetrical cables such as those in which the optical fibers run inside individual sheaths twisted inside the composite sheathing.
The device for connecting two linear arrays of optical fibers comprises in particular a flat holder 3, one of the plane major faces of which has generally V-shaped aligning grooves 31 as shown in FIG. 2. Grooves 31 are longitudinal, parallel, equidistant and coplanar. In the final position once the cable sheathing has been removed, the ends of fiber 2 are laid in the bottom of respective aligning grooves 31 and held there by bonding for example, over the first half of holder 3. The other half of holder 3 supports the ends of the optical fibers from another cable 4 to be connected. The connecting device comprises suitable means for bearing holder 3, splitting it into two halves, levelling off its halves and the fiber ends and joining them in order to butt the fibers of cables 3 and 4 end to end.
It will be observed in reference to FIG. 3 that the fanned out optical fibers leaving grooves 11 of cut off ring 10 can be curved into a bell-shaped form 20 between the end of the ring and their coplanar ends over a length L1 leading up to the appropriate half of holder 3. These bell-shaped curvatures are designed to absorb any differential expansions of the components making up the connecting device.
The fiber arraying device embodying the invention also makes it possible to position the optical fibers, initially spread around cylinder, flat side-by-side, spaced out the fiber ends in an equidistant coplanar fashion, distinguish between the various fibers and also, if required, to bend the fibers to give a bell-shape.
The fiber arraying device is schematized in FIG. 4. A divider 6a, or preferably, two identical superposable and parallel dividers 6a, 6b are secured to a frame 5 which is movable on the base of the device.
As depicted in FIG. 5, each divider 6 consists of a thin disc that has a number of cut-out openings 60 equal to or greater than the number of optical fibers 2 of cable 1 to be connected. An individual optical fiber is intended to pass through each opening. Openings 60 are in the form of circle sectors and are equally spaced out around the center of the divider. The tapered ends of sectors 60 are extended by respective dead-end channels 61 that are perpendicular to the horizontal diametrical axis XX' of divider 6. The width of each channel is substantially greater than the diameter of an optical fiber 2 and can be obtained by laser beam machining. These channels 61 are shown in detail in FIG. 6. The bottom 62 of each channel 61 is situated on the opposite side of the axis XX' compared to respective sector 60 from which it stems. All the channel bottoms on the same side of axis XX' are aligned parallel to the axis XX' and lie at a distance from the axis XX' substantially equal to the radius of an optical fiber. Channels 61 stemming from two sectors 60 symmetrically opposed across the axis XX' are adjacent and the gap between two adjacent channels is equal to that between two aligning grooves 31 in holder 3. As a result of this arrangement, when fibers in the openings are pushed into the bottom of channels 61, their axes are aligned along axis XX'. To be more precise, the fibers are coplanar between the two-by-two parallel channels of dividers 6a and 6b.
The arraying device further comprises means for pushing fibers from respective openings 60 into bottom 62 of respective channels 61. The fiber pushing means are illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 7 and consist mainly of two identical sliding members 7a, 7b that can be moved translationally simultaneously one towards the other parallel to the axis XX' and to the faces of dividers 6a, 6b and between the latter using a system of levers.
Each sliding members 7a, 7b consists of a rectangular plate whose long edges 70a, 70b slide in two guides 51a, 51b cut into frame 5 parallel to the axis XX'. The far ends of sliding members 7a, 7b carry two studs 71a, 71b that are lodged in oblong slots 72a, 72b of arms of two respective right-angular levers 73a, 73b. Corners 74a, 74b of levers 73a, 73b are rotatively mounted on frame 5 and are symmetrical with respect to the diametrical plane YY' of dividers 6a, 6b perpendicular to the axis XX'. The ends of the other arms of the levers 73b, 73a respectively comprise a stud 75b and an oblong slot 75a cooperating together. One of the levers, such as 73b, turns and causes the reverse rotation of the other lever 73a due to the force exerted at 76 by a handle or the shank of a known electromagnetic unit such as an actuator or an electomagnet. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the planes through which sliding members 7a and 7b slip are parallel and close together in order that the ends opposite the sliding members may overlap.
Ends 77a, 77b of sliding members 7a, 7b opposite the axis XX' have a re-entrant V-shaped notch. The tip of each notch 77a, 77b is extended by a rectilinear slit 78a, 78b. The longitudinal axes of slits 78a, 78b are coplanar and parallel to the axis XX'. The length of a slit is equal to at least the distance between the two channels 61 at the ends of dividers along the axis XX'. A slit is practically as wide or wider than the diameter of optical fiber 2.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the arraying device comprises means for holding the fibers in a coplanar and parallel fashion when combing great lengths, as will be seen hereinafter. These holding means consist of a comb 8 that can slide perpendicularly to the axis XX' in a vertical guiding member fixed to the device base, for instance by means of a rack. The upper end of comb 8 has V-shaped notches 81 spaced out in an identical manner to aligning grooves 31 in holder 3 and channels 61 of dividers 6a, 6b. Added to the comb is a lever 82 hinged at 83 laterally on the comb, about an axis perpendicular to the divider faces. When the apices of notches 81 of the comb are virtually aligned with bottoms 62 of lower channels 61 (FIG. 6) of the dividers after the comb has climbed in the direction of the arrow F8 (FIGS. 8 and 9), lever 82 is lowered to the horizontal position so as to lay the fibers into notches 81 and hold them there. Edge 84 of lever 82 in contact with the fibers can be rectilinear, as shown, or serrated symmetrically with 81 of the comb when edge 84 and serration 81 lie along the divider common central axis ZZ', or perhaps with serrations complementary to 81 of the comb when edge 84 is applied above serration 81.
The arraying device further comprises means for relative translation moving frame 5 with respect to comb 8 along the direction of the axis ZZ'. The relative translation moving means--not shown--consist of two independent rack and gear systems driving a carriage guided on the base of the device and respectively moving frame 5 or comb 8 along the axis ZZ'.
A description follows now of linear arraying the ends of optical fibers in the cable to be connected.
The optical fiber cable is gripped in a suitable clamp 14, and the sheathing is removed over a length L2 +L3, as depicted in FIG. 4. Optical fibers 2 are freed from grooves 11 in cable ring 10. Ring 10 and carrier 12 are cut off to a length L2 from the end of sheath 13. A collar 15 is slipped around ring 10. This collar has peripheral grooves similar to grooves 11 in the ring but spaced out equally around a larger diameter circle. The collar 15 grooves preferably run along equidistant generating lines of a truncated cone converging on the cable. The fibers are then fanned out conically by laying them under their bending moments in the grooves of collar 15, as in FIG. 4.
The cable end thus prepared makes it possible to distinguish between fibers 2 by numbering sectors 60 in dividers 6a and 6b and to introduce them into these sectors, one fiber per sector, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
Collar 15 is removed and fibers 2, once freed, close in on the divider central axis ZZ' due to their own bending moment, as roughly shown in FIG. 10.
The system of levers 73a and 73b is displaced at 76 (FIG. 7) such that slits 78a and 78b of sliding members 7a and 7b overlap and become surrounded by divider channels 61, as shown in FIG. 11. During opposed translational movements of sliding members 7a and 7b, the sides of V-shaped notches 77a and 77b push the ends of optical fibers 2 into channels 61 of dividers 6a and 6b bringing them finally together in the bottoms of channels 61 along the axis XX'.
At this stage, the optical fibers are coplanar and emprisoned in bottoms 62 of channels 61, on the one hand, and in slits 78a, 78b of sliding members 7a, 7b, on the other hand, in positions which correspond exactly to those on flat holder 3 (FIG. 2).
Comb 8 is initially drawn back at P1 from the axis XX' and in the immediate proximity of divider 6a that is opposite ring 10. The comb 8 slides upwards until the apices of its notches 81 reach the optical fibers at position P2, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The comb teeth insert themselves between the fibers which are trapped in the bottoms of respective notches 81 by lever 82 being horizontally brought down and locked onto comb 8.
The fibers are then combed starting from comb 8 by a translational movement of frame 5 carrying dividers 6a, 6b along the axis ZZ' towards the ends of the fibers per the arrow F5, using the respective translation moving means, not shown, but already mentioned. Fibers 2 are thus held parallel, at equal distances in a coplanar fashion over a length L3 separating com 8 from divider 6a, as indicated in FIG. 12.
Comb 8 and folded-down lever 82 are again moved above the axis XX' to position P3 shown in FIG. 12--or dropped to a lower symmetrical position P3 '--such that fibers 2 between cable 1 and divider 6a assume a bell-shaped currature 20 (FIG. 3). It will be appreciated that fibers 2 are practically hemmed in between comb 8 and lever 82 whereas they can slip with slight friction in channels 61 of dividers 6a, 6b and slots 78a, 78b of sliding members 7a, 7b.
Once the previous step of combing and curving the fibers has been completed, they are then held in their relative array positions thus obtained between cut ring 10 and divider 6a. This can be achieved using pairs of strips or adhesive tapes 90 struck together, trapping the optical fibers, as shown in FIG. 13. It can also be achieved by high viscosity and fast polymerization resin coating followed by quick curving in strips 91, as in FIG. 14.
Lastly, the fibers thus joined together in a linear array are removed from the arraying device by lifting lever 82, dropping comb 8, withdrawing sliding members 7a and 7b in opposite directions and sliding divider frame 5 away from the cable or pulling the fiber array. The array of fibers 2 is now ready to be positioned in the fiber connecting device.

Since the bye week, the Jets have placed an added emphasis on reducing the number of penalties. They dusted off an idea they used a couple of years ago -- players, coaches and staff performing push-ups during practice if a penalty is committed. It's working, as the figures have dropped significantly.
Right now, the Jets are the third-least penalized team in the league. They have 69, behind only the Giants (63) and Falcons (47).
Over the first eight games, the Jets had 51 penalties -- 6.4 per game. Since the bye, they've had only 18 in five games -- a 3.6 average.
(Starters/key reserves who have yet to commit a penalty, according to the NFL stats):
LB David Harris, LB Calvin Pace, LB Bryan Thomas, DT Mike DeVito, NT Sione Po'uha, FB Lex Hilliard, TE Jeff Cumberland and WR Jeremy Kerley.
LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson -- 1 penalty for 5 yards
(Players with the most penalties)
CB Antonio Cromartie -- 7 penalties for 86 yards
CB Kyle Wilson -- 7 for 59 yards (plus one declined)
S LaRon Landry -- 4 for 28 yards (plus one declined)
DE Muhammad Wilkerson -- 4 for 25 yards

Project Budget$30 - $5000 USD
Total Bids17
Project Description
I am looking to create a free sample /coupon website. The website will ask the user a series of questions upon signup. It should allow the supplier to choose who receives the samples based on the quesitons that they answer upon signup. The user should be able to adjust their answers whenever they feel necessary. The system should be setup so that administrators can add offers, on behalf of suppliers and administrators can serve as a moderator of offers. A user must log in to see the offers from the suppliers, and should also have the option to get notified by email whenever a new offer is available. Once the user logs in, when the user accepts the offer it should automatically go into a database list.
## Deliverables
I would also like to ads an advertisement system, where I can target users based on the questions they answer at the signup process. Please keep in mind that while the core functions are what is needed, I am open to suggestions

Dirks responds to Santa Barbara tragedy; vigil at Berkeley
, UC Berkeley May 27, 2014
Saying that "today we are all students, faculty, staff and alumni of the University of California, Santa Barbara," UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks sent a message of deep condolences to Berkeley's sister campus in response to Friday's shootings.
Also, Berkeley students planned a candlelight vigil for 8 p.m. Wednesday on Memorial Glade as a shared expression of grief and solidarity with Santa Barbara. More information is posted at the on Facebook.
In his message, Dirks wrote: "Today we are all students, faculty, staff and alumni of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Today we are not separated by distance, time or campus affiliation. We now stand together, as one, in mourning, loss and support for families, friends and colleagues who must deal with a tragedy that defies description.
"Together we hope and pray that our unity, sympathy and compassion can somehow help to lighten the load being carried by the victims' loved ones, the survivors and the communities that surround them. Our hearts may be broken, but I believe that we can and must draw on the strength of our collective spirit to keep us from surrendering to the forces of darkness and despair.
"On behalf of the Berkeley campus I send our deepest condolences and profound wishes for a better tomorrow."
All around the UC system, flags will fly at half-staff through June 1, at the request of UC President Janet Napolitano. Her message can be read on the UC Berkeley NewsCenter.

|[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "View_Snippets" by MarcaJames
|Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:00:38 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification. The "View_Snippets" page has been changed by MarcaJames. The comment on this change is: Clarified why one would *want* to use the complicated algorithm.. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/View_Snippets?action=diff&rev1=28&rev2=29 -------------------------------------------------- <<Anchor(summary_stats)>> == Computing simple summary statistics (min,max,mean,standard deviation) == - Implementation in {{{JavaScript}}} by MarcaJames. Mistakes in coding are my fault, algorithms are from others, as noted. To the best of my knowledge the algorithms are public domain, and my implementation freely available to all (Perl Artistic License if you really need a license to consult) + This implementation of standard deviation is more complex than the above algorithm, called the "textbook one-pass algorithm" by Chan, Golub, and LeVeque. While it is mathematically equivalent to the standard two-pass computation of standard deviation, it can be numerically unstable under certain conditions. Specifically, if the square of the sums and the sum of the squares terms are large, then they will be computed with some rounding error. If the variance of the data set is small, then subtracting those two large numbers (which have been rounded off slightly) might wipe out the computation of the variance. See http://www.jstor.org/stable/2683386, http://people.xiph.org/~tterribe/notes/homs.html, and the wikipedia description of Knuth's algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating_variance. - Here is some code I have developed to compute standard deviation. I do it two ways, both of which are different from jchris' github version (add link?). In practice of course you wouldn't need both ways. The view is specialized to my dataset, but the reduce function might be useful to others. + The below implementation in {{{JavaScript}}} by MarcaJames. Any mistakes in the js coding are my fault. The algorithms are from others (all smarter than I), as noted in the comments in the code. To the best of my knowledge the algorithms are public domain, and my implementation freely available to all. - I've only ever tested it on futon, and have no idea what the "group" parameter does to the output. Probably nothing! + Note that the view is specialized to my dataset, but the reduce function is written to be fairly generic. I kept the view as is because I'm too lazy to write up a generic view, and also because when I wrote it I wasn't sure one could use Date, Math, and Reg``Exp in Couch``DB Java``Script. {{{ // Map function

I started working on this website on the 1st of April 2008 and will continue working on it and update it, every time new information comes to my knowledge. At the moment it is far from finished but the work continues.
Me? I have work as a trained gardener in many years with many different plants, among them orchid. Today I work mostly with systematic botanic. I'm just a hobbyist who loves orchids. I have my orchid in greenhouse, where my collection of cold and intermediate orchids grows.
Orchids have been my passion through the last 35 years. And now is time to share my knowledge with all of you. The Africanorchids.dk will cover the entire African region, including Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion and the Seychelles.
I have a question for you, the visitor of African treasures, one of the biggest problems I have, is to find photos of all African species, varieties. I mean not just photos of the flower, but photos of the whole plant, characteristic details, side views of flowers, in their natural habitat, line drawing etc. So if you have photos that are legally yours, and you are willing to let me use them on this website, please let me know. Of course your name or the name of your company will be right next to the photos. Other information, comments or suggestions are welcome as well.
This website has so far as possible respect the copyright of images used in this website. It has not always been possible to locate the image author. If there are any legitimate claims, they will be honored.
Thank you for visiting this website.
