I have held back on writing this, I didn't want to write a knee jerk reaction, I wanted to take time to hear all sides with an open mind and try to listen to what it is that all sides truly want. I also tried to consider solutions that are congruent with our principals of freedom and what it is that causes some to fear the 2nd amendment so strongly.
In order to do this I have to make some basic assumptions set some guiding principals for this conversation. I have to assume that bad things will happen in this world, I have to assume that laws will not stop the lawless. I have to assume people understand this, though I know better. I have to understand peoples fears but be patient enough to get past my disagreement with their fear to dig deeper and understand what is causing the fear, as the fear is a symptom of something else.
I consider myself a responsible gun owner. I have had background checks, I have been trained, I practice regularly and I do my best to teach others firearm safety and encourage anybody even considering firearm ownership to take a training course to understand the immense responsibility that goes along with it. I understand powerfully the responsibility that goes with ownership and use of fire arms. I understand the impact the devastation and what I refer to as a one way street. The one way street is my mental reminder that when it goes bang you can not take it back. Any one fleeting moment of lack of focus or a poor decision is unacceptable. I understand all of this and practice it.
I hope to never find myself in a tactical situation, a fancy way of saying in deep doo doo. I hope to never have to test my decision making, my reaction to horror or my fight or flight reaction. I hope this for my friends my family and all the people of the world, but I also know better and I know there are times that innocent people are faced with these situations all too often. I believe ownership of firearms is protected beyond the second amendment I believe we all have a right and responsibility to protect ourselves and the innocent with whatever means we have available to us. Should we be equipped with fists to swing legs to kick or left only to our mental ability to avoid or end conflict we should use them all in combination to protect the innocent, should you have a knife a sword or a brick or a gun it is beyond our god given right to protect the innocent it is our responsibility as human beings.
Part of our responsibility to protect the innocent are the laws we have in place. I have said this time and time again but laws do not protect us they merely give us means and direction to prosecute the lawless. Laws may be deterrents however that is a minor effect, I don't say this to belittle the laws or say they are without power. I say this to remind everyone that laws do not prevent action they simply define the action as criminal .
There are however, some laws that do have a stronger impact. This is where I take my stand on gun control. As a libertarian I am supposed to allow people to do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't effect me or others negatively, I am supposed to defend and stand for the principals of the constitution and I try very hard to do these things. I do believe that people should be free to pursue their happiness and if that is ownership of a firearm then so be it, however, this must be done in accordance with the primary premise of not effecting me or others negatively. So how do we do this while maintaining the liberties our great republic was founded on.
Number one make it difficult to obtain firearms. I don't mean impossible and I don't mean we should punish those in pursuit of these devices, I do however strongly believe we need to be strict and smart about this, full background checks for every transaction, be they at a gun show, a gun shop or a private transaction. I would like the private transaction of gun sales to no longer be permitted, I want every transaction to follow the proper course of background checks and paper work. The responsibility should lay with the first purchaser of the fire arm until legally and properly transferred. Should you improperly convey ownership of your firearm to another party you should be held as responsible for any crime committed with that weapon as the party who committed the crime. I personally would never purchase or sell a used firearm in a private sale, I am not equipped to investigate the history of a firearm for purchase nor am I equipped to do background checks on a prospective buyer. Moreover, as a responsible citizen I would never arm anybody who was not background checked and given the green light to be sold that fire arm.
Holding the original purchaser responsible for the life of that weapon or until it is properly transferred is the first step. The next step must involve strong investigation into the background of the purchaser before permission is given. Anybody without felonies or mental health issues should still be granted the ability to purchase any fire arm of their choosing in any quantity, style, size etc they would like. The point here is those who are qualified do not pose a risk, really it is quite the opposite those that are trained, background checked etc… add an additional layer of security and rapid response to protect the innocent which must be our top priority.
I can't help but think of the Aurora shootings, Colorado is a state with a large amount of armed citizens, I can't help but wonder how many good people had left their firearms in the parking lot during that movie. Were there 5 firearms 10 firearms out in the parking lot that could have lessened the bloodshed? I don't know the answer to this but I just wonder, then there is the mall shooter in Oregon where Nick Meli was carrying a firearm legally and had an opportunity to fire at the shooter he says "As I was going down to pull, I saw someone in the back of the Charlotte move, and I knew if I fired and missed, I could hit them,". A properly trained shooter knows that he is responsible for the entire path of that bullet from beginning to end. This man did the right thing and as he says the next shot fired was the shooter taking his own life. It is widely believed the mere fact that he was about to be confronted triggered his suicide mechanism. More legally and intelligently armed people on the street can help mitigate these events.
The second amendment is not the problem, the ownership of firearms by good and law abiding citizens is not the problem, and certainly the style of weapon is not the problem nor is the capacity of the magazine. All of those things are the problem when someone who should not have a firearm does have one, large magazines are a problem, the ability to rapid fire is a problem, the biggest problem however is the fact that they have a firearm in the first place. This is where we need to find harmony, we need to keep the firearms in the hands of the right people and out of the hands of the wrong people. Allowing fear to take over and to try and force the firearms out of the hands of all people will only make these situations worse and occur more often.
I hope for those who want to take all the guns that they never find themselves in a circumstance where they wish there was one good guy there that they didn't take it from, I hope they never have to live with results of such legislation though sadly again I know better. As I stated above I had to assume some principals to think this through clearly and the fact is bad things will happen and to say we have the right to protect ourselves is a woeful understatement. We have the responsibility as brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, husbands wives and fellow humans to defend and protect the innocent and those that can not protect themselves.
Tragedies are just that tragic and they are part of the one way street, we can never undo what was done. We should also not allow them to drive our fear mechanism into irrational decisions. There are problems in the world and they require calm, intelligent and emotionless solutions. I hope to someday live in a world where I don't turn around if I forget my firearm when I leave the house. I hope someday firearms are used only for hobby and sport but until that day I promise to be one of the good guys and do my best to protect the innocent through good choices, training, empathy and compassion for all parties involved. It is my sincere hope that we all take that pledge and look out for each other and trust each other.
Out of respect for the emotions of all involved I will not be writing or mentioning specifically any of the recent events that have occurred beyond the one relevant quote of Mr. Meli. The pain, the loss and the senselessness of these events does not permit me to speak about the feelings, the heartache or the emotion of those families and communities, I do not have the eloquence to write of these events in a way that would guarantee not to cause any further heartache or pain. I simply can not bring myself to selfishly share my thoughts and feelings of those events without satisfying my own commitment to never write anything that might ever imply a sliver of disrespect or lack of empathy or compassion to what those good people are going through.

Halloween still is a couple of weeks away, but we saw some tricks last Monday night from Rex Ryan -- a fake punt, an onsides kick, two fourth-down gambles in his own territory and a cornerback playing wide receiver. Ryan knew he'd have to make some bold decisions to stay with the high-powered Texans -- and his strategy came within a couple of tipped passes of paying off.
Now the question is, does he remain Riverboat Rex on Sunday against the Colts?
In theory, Ryan shouldn't have to rely on gadgets to beat the rebuilding Colts (2-2). The Jets are the physically superior team and they should be able to control the game by doing the things they're supposed to be good at. They shouldn't have to steal a possession by trying an onside kick. If Ryan gets too cute, he'll be playing into the Colts' hands.
You may see some wrinkles on the defensive front -- they have to compensate for having no healthy nose tackles -- but it won't be anything too outrageous. An encore for Antonio Cromartie at wide receiver? He might get a play or two, but why push it? After all, rookie WR Stephen Hill and TE Dustin Keller are slated to return, which should give QB Mark Sanchez enough weapons.
Ryan's approach last week was appropriate, but this is a different week and a different opponent. There's a huge gap between the Texans and Colts. Precocious rookie QB Andrew Luck gives the Colts a puncher's chance, but the Jets should be able to beat him without having to trick it up.

ABU DHABI — Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his gratitude and deep appreciation to the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for facilitating the construction of an Orthodox Church in the UAE for the Russian community living in the country.
At a meeting also attended by Metropolitan Kyrill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department of External Relations, and Pastor Alexander, head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Sharjah, the Russian President said that UAE stood distinct with its faith in religious tolerance, its penchant for dialogue between civilisations and coexistence with different nations.
Metropolitan Kyrill hailed the spirit of tolerance and the moderation which are evident in the wise policies of the UAE, adding that the Russian Orthodox Church would strive to instil the same spirit among its followers living in the UAE.

Skylanders, the evolution of the Spyro the Dragon series that merges action-figure collecting with video games, has proven to be a huge success for Activision Blizzard, a company with a stable of them already. The series' debut in Christmas 2011 outsold all expectations; few thought a package requiring the purchase of additional figures to unlock in-game content would spark such a feverish response from children and adults alike. And so a sequel, Skylanders: Giants, was released one year later, and a third entry, subtitled Swap Force, has been revealed for this fall. With the news last week that Skylanders finally…

Background: Orthopaedic surgery is a physically demanding profession that requires many hours per week in body positions known to contribute to musculoskeletal injury and pain. Injuries to surgeons can affect the delivery of care and impose costs on the health care system. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and types of injuries sustained at the workplace during the career of an orthopaedic surgeon as well as the impact of such injuries on practicing surgeons.
Methods: A survey was developed to assess occupational injury among orthopaedic surgeons. Electronic surveys were distributed via e-mail to all orthopaedic surgeons in Tennessee. Data were analyzed to determine statistical associations of demographic and workplace factors with the rate of injury.
Results: One hundred and forty (28%) of 495 surveys were returned, with representation from all orthopaedic subspecialties. Sixty-one (44%) of the respondents reported sustaining one or more injuries at the workplace during their career. A significant association was found between years performing surgery and prevalence of injury (p = 0.03), with surgeons working between twenty-one and thirty years reporting the most injuries. Twenty-five percent of respondents reported sustaining an injury to the hand; 19%, to the lower back; 10%, to the neck; 7%, to the shoulder; and 6%, to another area. Fourteen (10%) of all surgeons reported missing work as a result of a workplace injury, with five (4%) missing at least three weeks. Twenty-three surgeons (38% of injured respondents) reported that no institutional resources were available to support their recovery from the injury.
Conclusions: Our study is the first of its kind, to our knowledge, to demonstrate that many orthopaedic surgeons sustain occupational injuries during their careers. The volume of work missed suggests that occupational injury has economic implications for the health-care system and providers. Given the number of injured respondents reporting no institutional support for occupational injuries, more attention should be focused on this issue.

With the cold encroaching upon the lands in the west, valleys once plethoric with game and forage-flora have begun to see harsh and unwelcome changes. Leaves and grasses die of frost, and with their destruction comes the starved demise of fauna, and with them follows the dwindling of the native tribes. Anger, food, stone and fire are all they had left to cling to, and with their weapons, tools and bitter desperation, they set towards the rising sun in search of warmer lands. Such was the story for many thousands of tribes, and in their wandering migration there begun countless battles over people, shelter, food and territory.

Q&A w/ HENRY JENKINS, SPREADABLE MEDIA – Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked CultureWritten on September 12th, 2014
Aired: 04/21/13
"If it doesn't spread, it's dead," is the simple consistent message of a new book, SPREADABLE MEDIA: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture, that maps the changes taking place in our media environment. For all their consolidation, concentration, and money, corporations can no longer control media distribution. Millions are now directly involved in the creation and circulation of content.
"Stickiness" – focusing attention in centralized places — has been the measure of success in the broadcast era. No more. "Spreadability" – dispersing content through formal and informal networks, with and without permission – is the new goal.
What does this mean for media? For information? For culture? For the distribution of power? And how can you take advantage of the new realities to have greater impact and influence?
I'll be talking about all of that this week with one of the book's authors, HENRY JENKINS. He coined the term "participatory culture" and he's been paying attention for decades to the crowd on the other side of the camera, the microphone, and the screen.

Comments about PBS NOVA: The Great Robot Race DVD:
I have used this DVD in my classroom for years and the students never tire of it! It's gripping story telling belies the fact that it covers the key areas of technology development (even getting back up from failure). Many of the key players are still in the industry so an add-on "where are they now" assignment demonstrates just how far we've come from this challenge.

I like how you put such meaning into your flashes without giving it away in your comments - instead letting us figure it out ourselves. What I saw in this - despite the feeling that I'm missing some required knowledge - was that the first ones on Mars (the Mafia) ruled with their weapons (hence the guy masturbating in his gun, basically saying that he uses it alot). When the second group came (the Aliens), they beat the Mafia, but in doing so, they became no better than the Mafia was in terms of the way they ruled, and on goes the cycle of tyranny. The parts I didn't seem to get was with the bird and its pole - I'm guessing it represents a country? Anyway, very well thought out and animated, and the music fit your abstract style very well - 10/10, as I can't see any kind of flaws in this seeing as it looks so professionally done. Things like these deserve to be 5'd, and that's exactly what I'll do. Thanks for this intriguing flash :]
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahah
i dont get it
That was well animated.
I can't say that it needs anything else. It's perfect. oh my god, my brainnnnnn. I loved the Dancing mafia men in the beginning, perfect syncronicity.
I see that people talk about how they don't get it. Well, I don't get it, but I think it's a great music flash, and fun, so there.

TCR 'Hair': Review
by Dave Bates on May.05, 2009, under Show Review, TCR
Many people, that know that I work for TCR, ask me.. "What do you think of the show."
My common response is, "I let everyone make up their own decision, I don't rate shows." The reason I usually tell people this is that, most shows are so-so and just because I don't like 'em, doesn't mean that others won't. So I try to make sure that everyone makes up their OWN mind.
This show, however, I have to put in my two cents. Hair as a show I've never seen, I've seen bits and pieces of the movie, but it never compelled me to watch it any further.
For those of you who don't know, HAIR is a show about Hippies, drugs, love and war. Very appropriate for the time it was create, the last 60's.
From the time I heard that HAIR was going to be performed at TCR, I've wanted to do it. However with several problems throughout the year, I fell out of TCR's volunteer pool for a few months, and was unsure if I'd be able to run the show. Luckily I was allowed in to be the LBO for this show. I've had a lot of fun on this show. The songs are done very very well with G and his band, and the cast. They are having a lot of fun with the show and it does come off that way. I do wish that I was working ON stage, but the lights are just as fun. There are a lot of light cues and it's a lot of fun.
I would recommend that EVERYONE go and see this show, if not see it twice. This is an awesome show and the cast deserves high praise for how they are playing the show.
The stage has been reworked, went from a flat stage to a raked stage as it did in theatre's past. When walking on this stage, it's pretty hard to keep your balance and the cast does well dancing on the raked stage.
I have got to say, this has been the most fun I've had on a TCR show in a very long time. The cast is wonderful, the camaraderie is awesome and the show is BOSS.. SEE IT!

In this paper, we give a provably secure design for blind signatures, the most important ingredient for anonymity in off-line electronic cash systems. Previous examples of blind signature schemes were constructed from traditional signature schemes with only the additional proof of blindness. The design of some of the underlying signature schemes can be validated by a proof in the so-called random oracle model, but the security of the original signature scheme does not, by itself, imply the security of the blind version. In this paper, we first propose a definition of security for blind signatures, with application to electronic cash. Next, we focus on a specific example which can be successfully transformed in a provably secure blind signature scheme.

Report: Michigan State commit slams security guard to ground
Four-star quarterback, and Michigan State commit Jayru Campbell allegedly slammed a security guard to the ground at Detroit's Cass Tech High School on Wednesday.
According to a report from the NBC affiliate in Detroit, Campbell was in police custody on Wednesday evening, and a spokeswoman for Detroit Public Schools said that Campbell will be disciplined internally according to the student code of conduct. That same spokeswoman said that, had the incident happened outside the school, Campbell could have been charged with misdemeanor assault and battery.
Michigan State released a statement on Wednesday that read "NCAA rules prohibit institutions from commenting on specific prospects until a National Letter of Intent has been signed." As of Thursday, Michigan State has not pulled its scholarship offer to Campbell.
Campbell, who is rated as the No. 9 dual-threat quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class, is already suspended for the beginning of the 2014 season after punching an opponent in the handshake line following a game.

This invention relates to a radio telecommunications terminal and in particular to a method and apparatus for optimising the power consumed by such a terminal. The invention is particularly suitable for use with digital systems.
An example of such a terminal is one for enabling a fixed telecommunication system, adapted for use with a public switched telephone network (PSTN), to operate over a wireless (e.g. radio) telecommunications network. The term "fixed system" as used herein is intended to mean a system of communication devices (e.g. telephones, facsimile machines, data devices) which are normally connected to a fixed local system. The communication devices themselves may be cordless and/or mobile and operate within the area local to the fixed system.
In telecommunications, the final drop from the local telephone exchange to a subscriber's terminal or private exchange is known as the "local loop". Traditionally this comprised a network of copper-pair lines, which are expensive to install and to maintain. In densely populated areas and/or countries with low telephone penetration this approach is impracticable. Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is a modern alternative to the copper network. In WLL a wireless (for example radio or infrared) system makes up all or part of the transmission path between the subscriber and the local exchange.
WLL allows the flexible allocation and reallocation of network resources and also has reduced installation time compared with fixed line networks. Thus WLL is particularly suitable for: providing network services quickly to small businesses and residential customers; cutting the cost of the local loop in remote or rural areas; providing telephone services in areas where accelerated development is required by regulatory bodies; and flexibly providing telecommunications services for instance at temporary locations such as exhibitions etc.
Generally WLL terminals comprise a transceiver, an external power supply and an antenna. More particularly a WLL terminal comprises an RF section for receiving and transmitting RF signals via an antenna; an interface for connecting a subscriber device to the wireless local loop terminal; a baseband section for converting received RF signals into baseband signals for transmission to the subscriber device and converting received baseband signals into RF signals for transmission by the RF section; and a subscriber line interface circuit for providing network dependent characteristics e.g. the tones (ringing, dial, engaged (busy) etc.) which, in a fixed network, are conventionally provided by the local exchange. A WLL terminal is capable of supporting many forms of transmission, for example speech, fax or data, and has interfaces for connecting to appropriate devices. An example of a known WLL system is described in British Patent Application no. 2311696.
The WLL terminals are fixed terminals i.e. they are designed to be fixed within a user's premises or with respect to the network. The terminals are typically fixed to the walls in a user's premises or to the walls of buildings for public network coverage. WLL typically use microwave, cordless or cellular technologies to interact with a radio telecommunications network.
A WLL terminal provides the interface between a subscriber's fixed telecommunication system (e.g. a private network or local area network) and the radio telecommunications network. When a user makes or receives a call via the WLL terminal, the WLL terminal establishes an uplink to the radio telecommunications network. In radio systems the transmitting power of a terminal is variable so as to avoid interference between terminals within the telecommunications system. Conventionally WLL terminals initiate transmission at a defined maximum power level and then adjust the power level in accordance with control signals sent from a controller of the radio system.
Similarly a mobile terminal for radio telecommunications conventionally initiates transmission at a defined maximum power level and then adjusts the power level in accordance with control signals sent from a controller of the radio system. The controller specifies the maximum power level and transmits this to the terminal continuously both when the terminal is in a stand-by mode and when the terminal is active. In the GSM specification this maximum transmission power level for the terminal is set by the parameter MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH. This parameter is defined by the controller and may be specific to a controller, base station or coverage zone.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a terminal comprising: an antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals; a radio frequency section that amplifies and demodulates a signal received by the antenna into a baseband signal and which modulates and amplifies a baseband signal received by the radio frequency section for transmission via the antenna; a processor to control the operation of the terminal; and memory for storing parameters and programs for use by the processor; wherein the terminal is arranged to store in the memory information relating to an uplink power level used in at least one transmission and to use this information to initiate a subsequent transmission.
Thus the power level used when establishing a connection with a radio telecommunications network is optimised. This aims to reduce the power consumed by the terminal and also to prevent interference between the terminal and a subscriber device connected to the terminal. Interference between terminals within a coverage area is also reduced. Using lower power levels during a transmission may also result in more efficient re-use of transmission channels in neighbouring coverage areas.
Preferably the information relates to the immediately previous transmission and most advantageously to the maximum power level used in a previous transmission. The information may relate to the power level used in more than one e.g. three previous transmissions.
The terminal may be a wireless local loop terminal or a cellular radio telephone handset.
In accordance with a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of controlling the power used by a radio terminal, the method comprising: transmitting a message to a radio telecommunications network; adjusting the power level of the transmitted message in accordance with control messages from the radio telecommunications network; storing information relating to the power level used during the transmission; and using the power level information to set the transmission power level to be used when initiating a subsequent transmission.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided apparatus for enabling a telephone system, adapted for use with a public switched telephone network, to operate over a radio telecommunications network, the apparatus comprising:
an antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals;
a radio frequency section that amplifies and demodulates a signal received by the antenna into a baseband signal and which modulates and amplifies a baseband signal received by the radio frequency section for transmission via the antenna;
a processor to control the operation of the terminal; and
memory for storing parameters and programs for use by the processor; wherein the terminal is arranged to store in the memory information relating to a power level used in at least one transmission and, when such information is stored, to use this information to initiate a subsequent transmission.
The invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary arrangement of a terminal according to the invention within a radio communications system;
FIG. 2 shows an example of a cellular radio telecommunications system;
FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of a terminal according to the invention;
FIG. 4 shows an example of the RF section of the terminal shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating the operation of a terminal according to the invention; and
FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of a terminal according to the invention.
FIG. 1 shows the arrangement of apparatus 2 according to the invention within a network. In this embodiment, the terminal 2 is a WLL terminal. A subscriber device 3 is connected to the WLL terminal 2 either via a fixed connection or via a wireless one. The device 3 may be a conventional fixed-line telephone, a mobile telephone, a facsimile machine, a data generating machine etc. The WLL terminal 2 is connected, via a radio link, to a cellular system that comprises at least one Base Station transceiver (BS) 4. The base stations are connected to a base station controller (BSC) 6 which is further connected to a mobile switching centre (MSC) 8. The switching centre 8 is connected to a core network 9 such as a public switched telephone network (PSTN) or a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). Also a home location register 10 is connected to the switching centre 8. Data relating to the subscribers of the system are stored in this register 10.
As shown in FIG. 2 each base station 4 has an area of cover 5 that is commonly referred to as a cell. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 2 is within the cells 5 a and 5 c of base stations 4 a and 4 c and just within range of the base station 4 b. These base stations continuously transmit control signals to the terminal via a base station control channel BCCH. Normally, when a terminal 2 accesses a cell on a Random Access Channel (RACH), the terminal initiates transmission at the maximum power level specified by the base station with which the terminal is communicating. This base station will usually be the base station which has the strongest signal (a parameter that is continuously monitored by the terminal 2).
FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of a terminal 2 according to the invention. The terminal 2 is a WLL terminal for fixing within a user's premises (e.g. office) or vehicle or for fixing on buildings etc. to provide coverage for the general public. A WLL terminal enables a telephone system, adapted for use with a public switched telephone network, to operate over a radio telecommunications network The terminal comprises an antenna 21 for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. The antenna is connected to a RF section 20 that amplifies and demodulates a signal received by the antenna into a baseband signal. A signal processor 22 then processes the baseband signal. Similarly the baseband signal to be transmitted is processed by the signal processor 22 according to specifications of the cellular system and modulated and amplified by the RF section 20 for transmission.
A processor 23 controls the signal processor 22 and the RF section 20. A read-only memory (ROM) 24 stores programs and parameters used by the processor. The terminal 2 is supplied with power from an external power supply (not shown) or batteries (not shown) within the terminal. These batteries are generally supplied for back-up during external power supply failure.
A ringing Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) 25 supplies the network characteristics e.g. the ringing and supervisory signals that allow a subscriber device 3 to operate with the network i.e. it undertakes some of the functions traditionally carried out by a conventional local exchange. SLICs also deliver analog voice signals and network dependent high-voltage ringing signals. The SLIC also monitors and provides the routine plain-old telephone service (POTS) supervisory signals that, for example, detect dial pulses and ensure that the phone does not ring when the handset is off-hook.
In particular, the SLIC 25 comprises an audio part 250 for adapting the audio signals from the signal processor 206 into a form suitable for a subscriber's telephone 3′ and vice versa. A DTMF detector 251 detects dialling signals in the signal from the subscriber device 3 and transmits them to the processor 208. A DC generator 252 generates a supply voltage for a tone generator 254. A Hook detector 253 detects whether the subscriber device is on-hook or off-hook and transmits the status data to the processor 208 and to the tone generator 254. The tone generator 254 generates an audible and suitable line tone (dial, ringing, busy, number-unobtainable etc) which is transmitted to the subscriber device 3. A ringing signal generator 255 forms a high voltage ringing signal (for example 45 V AC) for the ringing function of the subscriber device 3.
FIG. 4 shows in more detail the RF section 20 of the terminal 2. The RF section 20 is connected to the antenna 21 which is used to receive and transmit signals. It will be appreciated that only the transmit part of the RF section is shown in FIG. 4 and that the RF section 20 would also include a complementary receive part. The signal to be transmitted can be regarded as being two signals, one of which is the sine component and the other of which is the cosine component. These components are respectively referred to as the I and Q components. The I and Q components are initially at a baseband frequency. The I and Q signals are in digital form initially and are converted to analogue signals by respective digital to analogue converters (DAC) 200 a and 200 b. The output of each of the digital to analogue converters 200 a, 200 b is connected to a respective lowpass filter 201 a and 201 b. The lowpass filters 201 a, 200 b filter out undesired components which are introduced by the digital to analogue converters 200 a and 200 b.
The output of each of the lowpass filters 201 a, 201 b are input to an IQ modulator 202. The IQ modulator 202 includes two mixers 204 a and 204 b which mix each of the I and Q signals with a signal from a first local oscillator 205 to provide resulting bandpass signals at an intermediate frequency. The signal which is mixed with the Q component is 90� out of phase with the signal which is mixed with the I component of the signal. This 90� phase delay is introduced by delay element 206. The resulting I and Q signals which are now at the intermediate frequency are then summed by a summer 207 of the modulator 202 to provide a single bandpass signal.
The output of the summer 207 is input to a first amplifier 208 which amplifies the output of the summer 207. The output of the first amplifier 208 is input to a first bandpass filter 209 which filters out any undesired components of the signal which have been introduced by the first amplifier 208.
The output of the band pass filter 209 is input into a mixer 210 which also receives an input from a second local oscillator 211. The output from the second local oscillator 211 is mixed with the output from the band pass filter 209 to provide an output signal which is at the radio frequency i.e. the frequency at which the signal is to be transmitted by the antenna 21.
The output of the mixer 210 is input to a second bandpass filter 212 which filters out any undesired components introduced by the mixer 210. The output of the second bandpass filter 212 is input to a second amplifier 214 which amplifies the signal. The output of the second amplifier 214 is input to a gain control block 216. The gain control block 216 receives a control signal 217 which determines the gain to be applied to the signal. In particular, the gain control block 216 varies the amount of gain applied to the input signal in dependence on the control signal 217. The output of the gain control block 216 is input to a high power amplifier 218 which amplifies the signal by a fixed amount. The output of the high power amplifier 218 is output to the antenna 21 via a duplex filter 219.
To measure the power of the signal which is transmitted, a directional coupler 220 or similar device is provided. The coupler 220 allows a small proportion of the signal to be transmitted to be removed. The power level of that small proportion of the signal is measured using a radio frequency to DC rectifier 222 comprising a diode and passive component(s). By suitable scaling, a voltage value signal 223 indicative of the power level of the signal which is to be transmitted can be obtained.
The duplex filter 219 has a transmit portion 219 a which is tuned to the radio frequency. The transmit portion 219 a removes undesired components introduced by the transmission chain. The duplex filter 219 also has a receive portion 219 b which is tuned to the receive frequency. The receive frequency is usually different from the transmit frequency.
The terminal 2 includes random access memory RAM 26 for storing a record of the maximum power level used during the transmission. This may be indicated by the signal 223. However, in GSM and other TDMA systems, there are several pre-determined power levels that mobile terminals can use for transmission. To maintain these levels, the control signal sent by the base station controller 6 may be stored in the RAM 26. When the terminal 2 next establishes a connection to a base station 4, this stored record is used to set the initial transmission power of the terminal i.e. the control signal 217.
When a subscriber of the WLL terminal initiates a call, the terminal establishes an uplink radio connection to the base station 4 via a Random Access Channel (RACH) and sends a message indicating the power level and quality of the transmitted signal. In response, the base station then sends a control message to the terminal 2 to control the transmission power level of the terminal 2, if required. The processor 23 outputs the control signal 217 to adjust the transmission power of the RF section 20 in response to this control message. The power level measurement signal 223 output by the DC rectifier 222 is passed to the microprocessor 23. This control sequence continues throughout the duration of the call. Similarly, when a call is received by the terminal 2 via a base station 4, the terminal establishes an uplink radio connection to the base station 4 via a Random Access Channel (RACH).
The operation of a terminal according to the invention will now be described with reference to FIG. 5. Clearly the first time that such a terminal is used the RAM 26 will not contain any record of previous power levels. The terminal will therefore initiate transmission at the pre-defined maximum power level signalled by the base station.
When the terminal initiates a transmission (501) the contents of the RAM 26 are checked (502). If the RAM does not contain a record of a previous power level, the terminal initiates transmission (503) at the maximum power level specified by the MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH transmitted by the base station. The base station 4 and/or base station controller 6 continuously monitor the quality and strength of the signal received from the terminal and, on the basis of these measurements instruct the transmitting terminal to increase or decrease the power level of the signal it is transmitting. The terminal therefore continuously receives (504) power control signals from the base station during a connection. In response the processor 23 adjusts the amount of amplification applied by the RF section 20 and hence the power level of the transmitted signal (505). This monitoring and adjustment continue (506) until the transmission ends (507).
During transmission the terminal also monitors the power level used by the terminal during the transmission. Each time a power control signal is received by the terminal it is compared (508) with the maximum power level specified MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH. If the new power level specified in the control signal is equal to MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH the new power level is not stored and the next power control signal is received (504).
If the new power level specified in the control signal is less than the maximum MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (508) but more than the record stored in the RAM 26 (509), the new power level is stored in the RAM 26 (510). If however the power level specified in the control signal is less than the maximum MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (508) but also less than the record stored in the RAM 26 (509), no further action is taken until the next power control signal is received (504).
Thus at the end of the transmission the RAM 26 is either empty or contains a record of the maximum power level (other than MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH the maximum specified by the base station) used during the transmission. The RAM will be empty if the terminal 2 has only received control signals instructing it to transmit at the maximum level MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH.
At the start (501) of the next transmission, the contents of the RAM 26 are checked (502). If the RAM contains a record of a power level used during a previous transmission, this level is used to initiate transmission (511) by the terminal 2. Thus the processor 23 forwards a control signal 217 to the RF section 20 to amplify the signal for transmission according to the stored power level. If however the RAM does not contain such a record, the maximum power level MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH is used (503).
Rather than using the maximum power level from a previous transmission, the processor may be programmed to use some other power information from a previous transmission e.g. the average power when initiating transmission. In this case, the RAM 26 is used to store the average value of the power levels used. The processor may be arranged to calculate this average value during a transmission or alternatively the RAM may store all the values of power levels used (and the duration) and the processor may be arranged to calculate the average from these values once the transmission is terminated.
In a similar manner the processor may be arranged to form an average of the maximum power levels used in the previous n transmissions, where n is an integer.
The terminal is usually within range of more than one base station 4. In this case, the processor may be arranged to store information relating to the power level control signals from all base stations in the vicinity. When the terminal initiates transmission with a particular base station, the stored record of power level associated with that base station is then used for transmission. If no record is currently stored, the maximum specified by the base station is used. Thus the processor 2 is arranged to store in RAM 26 a record for each base station with which the terminal is in contact.
It is possible that the stored power level is not sufficient to establish a radio connection with a base station. This may be because the transmission path between the base station and the terminal is obstructed in some way or the cell of the base station is congested. To avoid the occurrence of a terminal not being able to establish a connection, the processor may be arranged to ramp up the transmission power level from the stored level to the maximum level specified by the base station.
FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of a terminal according to the invention, the terminal 60 being a mobile terminal such as a cellular telephone. The terminal comprises a keypad 61 and a display 62 such as a LCD display for displaying characters e.g. alphanumeric characters. A speaker 63 allows an audio signal to be output and a microphone 64 allows an audio signal to be input. As in the terminal of the first embodiment, the terminal comprises an RF section 20, an antenna 21, a signal processor 22, a processor 23, ROM 24 and RAM 26. In the same way, the processor 23 stores values of the power levels used by the cellular phone 60 during transmission in the RAM 26. Thus, on subsequent use of the cellular telephone, the maximum power level stored is used in an attempt to establish a connection.
The embodiments described herein are intended to be exemplary only and various modifications may be apparent to a skilled person. The examples described are not to be limiting and, for example, the invention is applicable to a terminal operating according to a protocol other than GSM.

Rocky Mountain Horse
Does anyone on here have this breed of horse?
I don't own one, but I ride/work with one alot(almost weekly).
i hear there pretty much like a QH but with a gait? is that true?
I haven't been around many QH's, so i'm not sure. But the one I ride is really good for beginners, very sweet, and well-behaved. But she really likes to go fast! She is also very sure-footed.
I'm not sure if her personality sounds like a QH's. Sorry I couldn't help more.
ok well thanks yall. I have been around QH and Apps my whole life. And tennessee walkers be cause i live here lol. I read about the Rocky in a magazine at school one day. They seemed like a nice horse. Would anyone know around how much they cost? (just curious lol)
