This review is from: Brother Professional Series MFC-J6710DW Inkjet All-in-One Printer with up to 11" x 17" Duplex Printing and Dual Paper Trays
Pros: Prints pretty good.
Cons: If you're going to hook up using the USB port you'll need a long USB cable! 6ft won't be enough! The USB port is inside the machine and comes out the back (shortens your cable by close to 2 ft).
Other Thoughts: I've heard/read that if you're looking for a great printer, don't buy an All-in-One! If you're in need of a great scanner, don't buy an All-in-One! I'm an illustrator and I've always wanted an 11 x 17 scanner. I was looking at the 'Mustek A3 USB 2400Pro' but bought the Brother instead (figured I'll get a printer along with a scanner). BIG MISTAKE!! I draw in pencil and the scans are terrible. The scanning software is very limited. B&W scanning is good and so is color scanning. But for PENCIL drawings... Forget about it!!! It does not capture the pencil lines and shading correctly. It's as if the scanner automatically applies some kind of filter to the image. A filter you can't turn off...READ FULL REVIEW

Crunchy Quinoa Granola
I love giving away homemade treats from my kitchen for Christmas, don't you? I like to make something unique, something that friends may have never tried before. That is what inspired this recipe for Crunchy Quinoa Granola. While regular granola is made with oats, I try to limit my oat intake because of my celiac disease. I seem to be able to tolerate certified gluten-free oats in small amounts, but…November 20, 2013

This is a resubmission of the renewal application for my Research Project Grant (R01) entitled "Regulation of Differentiation in Esophageal Epithelia" (DK069984), which concluded on March 31, 2011. The overarching goal of this proposal is to understand the regulation of esophageal epithelial stratification, inflammation, and carcinogenesis through mechanistic studies of the key transcriptional regulator Kr|ppel-like factor 4 (KLF4). The significance of this proposal lies in (a) the prevalence of esophageal disorders, which are among the most common ailments in the United States and the world and (b) the important and emerging roles of KLF4 in the control of essential cellular processes in numerous tissues and cell types, including esophageal keratinocyctes. The PI is an experienced investigator who is an expert in the Kr|ppel-like factors (KLFs), animal models of disease, and esophageal squamous cell biology, and is supported by a superb research team, complemented by expert collaborators. In this proposal, we will take advantage of novel mouse models, which we have generated, and complementary in vitro systems utilizing two-dimensional and three-dimensional organotypic culture to test the hypothesis that KLF4 is a critical regulator within adult esophageal squamous epithelia, controlling processes such as keratinocyte migration and differentiation, the inflammatory response, and squamous cell cancer development. To explore the regulation of esophageal epithelial stratification, inflammation, and carcinogenesis by KLF4, we will undertake the following interrelated Specific Aims: (1) We will explore the function of KLF4 in esophageal epithelial migration and stratification (a) through mechanistic, epistatic studies of KLF4 and the KLF4 target WNT5A, a non-canonical Wnt, and (b) by identification of additional, relevant KLF4 target genes through functional genomics analyses~ (2) We will investigate the role of KLF4 loss in esophageal carcinogenesis by (a) examining the functional interaction of KLF4 and p53 in esophageal epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, and (b) identifying the mechanisms of KLF4 loss in esophageal dysplasia and squamous cell cancer~ and (3) We will determine the mechanisms by which KLF4 promotes inflammation and the non-cell autonomous proliferative response by (a) evaluating the role of Rho Stases in NF:B activation by KLF4, (b) examining the effects of NF:B and TNF1 inhibition on proliferation of keratinocytes from ED-L2/KLF4 mice~ and (c) crossing ED-L2/KLF4 mice with esophageal-specific Ikk2 null mice. These complementary approaches will confirm and extend the findings from our current funding cycle, as outlined in Preliminary Data and our two recent publications in Gastroenterology. Moreover, the proposed research will be supported by the superb and collegial intellectual environment and the exceptional resources and facilities available to the PI and his team. We anticipate that these studies will provide insight into the factors that maintain normal esophageal epithelial homeostasis and the pathways that are disrupted in esophageal diseases, both benign and malignant.
The studies proposed here will provide insight into the origins of esophageal diseases through studies of KLF4, a specific protein important for growth control and other vital cellular processes in the esophagus. We anticipate that the results obtained through this research will lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal disorders, which are among the most common and the most deadly ailments in the United States and throughout the world.

On IEM soundstage, I agree that there isn't space to create natural occurring soundstage. That said, also From personal experience (FPE? FPEx?), they can create very focused and pinpoint accurate imaging and reference flat FreqResponse, and there are a Lot less shape variables for a surround HTRF to account for with drivers in-ear, so soundstage could be processed into the sound well, and surround could work well with a broader range of individuals (if it takes in-ear driver positioning into account).
I just don't need the isolation of my ER•6i much anymore.

1992 Domaine du Biau, Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne, Hugh Ryman ( pounds 3.99, Victoria Wine). Vin de pays des Cotes de Gascogne showed that there was life after muscadet, but may have had its heyday now muscadet prices are going down again. Even so, this is especially good with aroma, life and zip.
1992 Chateau de la Jaubertie, Bergerac Blanc ( pounds 4.99, Thresher, Wine Rack, Bottoms Up; also at Victoria Wine). If you liked the unusual rose, try this aromatic, catty semillon/sauvignon blend with its fresh nettley, gooseberry character.
1992 Minervois ( pounds 2.99, Waitrose). What, under pounds 3 at Waitrose? It can happen, and this spicy, southern French red, made in the modern, fruity style, is a good-value example.
1991 Tesco McLaren Vale Chardonnay Ryecroft ( pounds 5.99, Tesco selected stores). And it is also possible to find wine costing more than pounds 5 at Tesco. The price is well worth paying for this super-rich, intensely flavoured Australian chardonnay whose oaky character is well balanced by fresh, citrus acidity.
1992 Hindmarsh Hills, Barossa Valley Chenin Blanc ( pounds 3.19, Oddbins). This is the soft, tropically fruity Australian white that Independent readers have been drinking at the Royal Horticultural Society events this summer. No complaints so far.

Remotely controlling digital cameras with gPhoto
In Charge
Commercial software that lets users remotely control their camera usually is not available for Linux. gPhoto gives users a free alternative.
Some vendors offer commercial add-ons to help users remotely control their cameras – for example, to take a series of photos at set intervals. Time exposures of the night sky and time-lapse photos of a growing plant are excellent choices of subject as well. However, vendors such as Canon and Nikon only offer their software for Windows and the Mac OS, and Nikon even charges for the program [1]. To make things worse, the software is closed source and not suitable for scripting, which tends to restrict its usefulness.
The gPhoto [2] project mainly comprises the libgphoto2 library, the gphoto2 command-line interface, and the gtkam front end (see also the "Gtkam Graphical Front End" box). The software lets users read and change the status of their digital cameras, copy files in both directions, and remotely control digital cameras.
As of this writing, gPhoto supports more than 1,100 digital camera models. A lack of cooperation on the part of camera manufacturers has forced developers to reverse engineer most of the protocol information and explains why the software does not support all of the features that are available on every single digital camera.
Although most state-of-the-art digital cameras that support simple tasks – such as transferring images – use the popular Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard, the remote control protocols are typically undocumented. The examples in this article have been tested on a Canon 50D and should work with any digital camera supported by gPhoto with slight modifications (especially with Canon models).
Gtkam Graphical Front End
The gtkam graphical front end (Figure 1) currently has only a rudimentary set of functions, although it does vastly simplify image downloads. From the drop-down menu, you can select the connected digital camera and use the thumbnails to navigate through your collection of images. Gtkam does not support remote control functionality for digital cameras. Applications such as the KDE digiKam [3] tool offer more convenience than gtkam.
Data Management
Before you start working with gPhoto, determine whether your camera's transfer mode is set to PTP; otherwise, the program will not support it. To find out whether gPhoto has correctly identified your camera, type gphoto2 --auto-detect at the console to see the following output:
$ <B>gphoto2 --auto-detect<B> Model Port --------------------------------- Canon EOS 50D usb:
In this example, the software found a Canon 50D. The gphoto2 --summary command provides some basic information about the camera, including the memory card (capacity and space usage), designation, serial number, firmware version, and supported file formats. If you set the --list-files flag, you also get a listing of all the images on the memory card. To download the images, try --get-all-files. Table 1 lists a selection of file and directory management options.
Remote Control
Although file downloads work with some 1,100 digital camera models, remote control through gPhoto works with less than 10 percent [4] of them. Most of the supported models are made by Nikon and Canon, and the function is not available at all for cameras by Samsung, Sigma, and Sony.
The gphoto2 --list-config command lists all supported functions offered by the software for the connected camera. For Canon SLR cameras such as the 50D and 400D, you can add capture=on to get a full list of configuration parameters (Listing 1). The --get-config switch reads all the configuration parameters and their possible values; --set-config assigns a parameter. For example, the command in Listing 2 tells gPhoto to output all available ISO settings.
Listing 1
Listing Configuration Parameters
$ gphoto2 --set-config capture=on --list-config /main/settings/eos-time /main/settings/eos-synctime (...) /main/imgsettings/eos-iso /main/imgsettings/eos-whitebalance /main/capturesettings/eos-exposurecompensation /main/capturesettings/picturestyle (...)
Listing 2
ISO Settings for the Canon EOS
$ gphoto2 --set-config capture=on --get-config=/main/ imgsettings/eos-iso Label: EOS ISO speed Type: RADIO Current: 400 Choice: 0 Auto Choice: 1 100 Choice: 2 200 (...) Choice: 6 3200
To set the ISO value to 1600, simply type gphoto2 --set-config capture=on --set-config eos-iso=1600. The supported values for configuration parameters such as the ISO setting (eos-iso), exposure compensation (eos-exposurecompensation), white balance (eos-whitebalance), or picture style (picturestyle) depend on the camera you are using. The available values for the aperture setting (eos-aperture) are driven by your choice of lens (Listing 3). Also note that the path following --get-config= must match your camera model.
Listing 3
Aperture Settings for Canon EOS
$ gphoto2 --set-config capture=on --get-config=/main/ capturesettings/eos-aperture Label: EOS aperture Type: RADIO Current: 5.6 Choice: 0 1.4 Choice: 1 1.6 Choice: 2 1.8 (1/3) (...) Choice: 24 22

This past Friday, the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) released Circular Letter 200-019-13 which estimates the increase to employer contribution rates for fiscal years 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 based on new actuarial policies approved earlier this month. The rate of employer contributions may rise dramatically, but the Circular Letter suggests that the increase employers will experience may not be as significant as originally estimated. The overall impact of the increase will depend on the employer's current contribution rates and asset volatility ratio (AVR).
The estimated increases are determined on the basis of each employer's AVR – which is calculated by dividing an employer's assets by their annual payroll, or for pooled plans, by dividing the pool's assets by the pool's annual payroll. To estimate your agency's employer contribution rates for fiscal years 2015/2016 – 2019/2020, locate your AVR in the actuarial report provided by CalPERS. Then, using the AVR column in the Circular Letter that is closest to your agency's AVR, add the percentages in the column to your agency's current employer contribution to get the projected rate for each year.
The Circular Letter provides an example of how the estimated increases will affect an employer's contribution rate. Predictably, it is estimated that employers with a lower AVR will experience a lower increase in rates than those with a higher AVR. For example, CalPERS estimates that an employer with an AVR of 4 will experience a total increase over a five-year period of 5.5% while an employer with an AVR of 8 will experience a total increase over a five-year period of 11%.
It is important for employers to keep in mind that these figures are merely estimates, and that they are subject to change. For example, the estimates were determined based on the assumption that CalPERS will have a 7.50% final return on investments after the 2011/2012 fiscal year, but CalPERS does not yet have this information.
If you would like more information about how the new actuarial policies will impact your agency's contributions, or to explore potential strategies to mitigate the financial impact, please contact John Wahlin, Isabel Safie or Allison De Tal in the firm's Employee Benefits practice group, or your BB&K attorney.

I agree that you shouldn't store content in your block file system, but, hey, the servlet API tried to enforce that with leaving up to the containers to unpack wars and failed (even weblogic had to surrender to war unpacking for that IO problem). In theory, it's all nice and good to keep things separate. In practice (and I speak out of linotype) having a file system under your feet is a great RAD ability and I wouldn't want to see it going away). -- Stefano.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evaluating ecological patterns and processes is crucial for ecosystem conservation. In this view, remote sensing is a powerful tool for monitoring ecosystem status and change, involving several tasks like biodiversity estimate, landscape ecology, species distribution modeling.
The aim of this special issue is to publish straightforward research or review papers on the matter in order to stimulate further discussion on the potential of remote sensing in the ecological framework.

Westerville Education Challenge Grant Application Deadline is June 30
What is the Westerville Education Challenge? The Westerville Education Challenge was established on August 6, 2009. A group of parents and community members sought to raise private support for public education in Westerville City Schools.
The initial desire was to provide funding and a long term financial solution for Challenge Day, a program that teaches students and community mentors about diversity and acceptance. Challenge Day is offered to all high school freshmen (1,000 students) at the three high schools in Westerville. The first annual fundraiser was held October 3, 2009.
The first event was Boots N BBQ at the Barn. Fundraising efforts included an admission fee for dinner, silent auction, and a live auction. Dr. Dan Good (Superintendent of Westerville City Schools) and Anne Gonzales (Mayor of Westerville) served as auctioneers. Raffle prizes were also given.
Westerville Education Challenge plans to hold an annual dinner/dance to continue to raise financial support that will reward teachers and the school district by funding creative and innovative projects that enrich curricular and extra-curricular activities and directly enhance educational opportunities for a significant number of students in Westerville
To date, Westerville Education Challenge has donated $14,500 to Westerville Schools to provide support for Challenge Day. Funding has been set aside to give support to sustain Challenge Day into the future.
This grant cycle of up to $5,000 will be awarded. Applicants can apply for the entire amount or request a portion of the available award dollars.
Two-page application forms for grants are available at
, or by Googling "Westerville Education Challenge." Brevity is encouraged. Two-page applications are preferred, with a four-page maximum. Completed forms may be submitted either by U.S. mail to Westerville Education Challenge, P.O. Box 1863, Westerville, OH 43086-1863; or by e-mail to
, using a Microsoft Word or PDF formatted attachment.

Posted on by KCPT - No Comments Yet - Be The First!
THE CIVIL WAR, the award-winning film produced and directed by Ken Burns, will be rebroadcast over five consecutive nights in September 2015. The broadcast, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the series' initial broadcast in September 1990, will present for the first time a newly restored, high-definition version. This is also the first time the film will be seen with the same fidelity and framing as the negative that Burns and his co-cinematographers Allen Moore and Buddy Squires shot more than 25 years ago.
On September 11 after the last part in this series, delve deeper into the border war that triggered the Civil War right here in our own back yard. A co-production of KCPT and Wide Awake Films, the film tells the story of the lead-up to the Civil War along the Missouri-Kansas border between 1854 -1861, through the eyes of Missourians & Kansans on both sides of the thorny issue of slavery.

Continuous rejection, failure and hearing "no" is deflating. It takes a toll. It can leave confidence at rock bottom, and make people risk averse and unwilling to set goals.
Most of us would love to experience more success in our finances, relationships or health, for example. The reason we don't is because we cut the connection between success and ourselves too easily.
Feeling rejected is part of success's weeding-out game. No one is exempt from failure and hearing "no". Someone who rarely hears "no" may not be setting their ambitions very high. However, people are often disappointed in life not because their goals lack size but because their ability to weather the "no" storm is not strong enough.
If your results are not motivating you, the following five tips may do the trick.
1. Have an unstoppable purpose
If we desire a goal with every fibre of our being, we will have the power to get past rejection. If our passion is deep enough, when someone whispers the words "you can't" to us, we will not listen for long enough to give up on ourselves.
2. Screw excuses
People who make excuses regarding their performance soon make excuses to stop performing. Don't let "no" be a blow to the ego but a chance to polish your thinking.
3. You're the cue ball
Striking the white cue ball sends all the other balls on the pool table into motion. Likewise, our action pushes others into action. If we're not landing enough success, it's because we're not striking the cue ball enough.
4. Sharpen your axe
Hearing "no" dulls confidence and desire. The duller we get, the duller our results become and the more we will hear "no". Stay sharp. Exercise daily, read empowering books and hang out with inspirational people.
5. Always go the extra mile
If you're receiving a lot of rejection, turn this around by going the extra mile and adding value to your offer or efforts. Added value means added opportunities.
Shawn Anderson is the author of six books, a keynote speaker and a motivational success coach. He is the founder of Extra Mile America, an organisation that will lead an estimated 500 cities to declare 1 November 2014 as Extra Mile Day, a day to recognise the capacity we each have to create positive change in our families, organisations and communities when we go the extra mile.

Girl named Bill?
Remember when they used to name hurricanes after woman? :)
I was sailing in Cape Cod Bay w a friend who is a contractor...he remarked how a good hurricane would be helpful to builders due to the economy...I'm not certain he made it to shore yet but its ironic how Hurricane Bill developed. I am curious about the consenus here [the only consensus I would ever consider :D ] regarding haul out versus remaining on a mooring. I have a good mooring and understand sails should be removed, along w the anchor but my biggest concern is another boat breaking free and clobbering my boat. So my question is...what has been the acceptable practice of you 'old salts?' What else should be done if you leave it in the water?
Remove everything you can and stow it below. Add chafe guards to all your mooring lines. Make sure your insurance is paid up. Then pray for the best.
If it is a true Cat 2+ hurricane and you're right it's path when it hits land, hauling your boat is the only way to minimize the chance of damage. When I mean haul, I don't mean just pull it out of the water and store it near a dock or the water, I mean haul it to an area outside of the storm surge. Even with that, extreme winds can cause a lot of damage.
If you are on the edge of hurricane and it is a weak one. Leaving it in the water may be okay, but like AlanBrown says, pull as much stuff off the boat and either store it at home or inside the boat. We have never pulled our boat, but where I am typically doesn't get hurricane landfall. We do get Nor'easters though and some pretty bad. We remove all sails from the boat. If it is going to be real bad 70+ mph winds, we remove the boom also. All halyards are strapped to the mast. We remove the mooring pick-up buoy and store below. We make sure nothing is loose on the deck and anything that can blow off or around is removed or well secured down. Except for the cockpit drain cupper seacocks, all are closed and batteries are fully charged. As sson as the storm is over and it is safe, we go to the boat and inspect.
I guess the big question to ask yourself is, is it worth the $500 or so to haul your boat onto land to minimize your chance of damage from a direct hit? If your boat is worth a grand, probably not. If it's worth a $500K, than I think you have your answer.
If the storm is headed your way for a direct hit, have it hauled. Not so it is just a few feet above water, hauled so it is clear of possible storm surge. Also, remove EVERYTHING, sails, bimini, dodger, cushions, everything and store below or off the boat.
There is a lot of info on this in the Hurricane Thread in General Discussion. That might be a great place to read up too.
BTW, I have heard of a Boy Named Sue, but never a Girl Named Bill!!!
Good luck.
got that!
If you are interested in following the progress and projected track here is a link:
Women protested about only naming the hurricanes after women. It was stereotyping them as furious women with PMS.
Now I shall go hide until the futher of angry women have given up looking for me..:eek:
But she's my girl, my girl, my girl Bill.
I'm watching and thinking. Hauling is best if you have enough time and available services. My boat is on a 600lb mushroom, but I also worry about the neighbors dragging down on me. I consider bringing her to a mud harbor nearby with no moorings, but then I'd have to rely on an anchor (or two) I can hoist.
Take care,

Whistle Peak, "Half Asleep Upon Echo Falls"
Whistle Peak is pop music in disguise and experimentation at its core. It is music that takes you on a journey of the imagination, inhabiting fantastical lands while drawing from life experience.
It is the particular phrased in the universal. It is children's stories told by grown men. The music is upbeat and hypnotic, pulling you closer with each listen and surprising you with small amulets layered beneath continuous melody.
Whistle Peak's style combines folk and electronic music, blending synthetic and acoustic instrumentation with songs of love and loss, joy and darkness. Not to say these boys are downers, rather their songs are quite optimistic and redemptive, bringing a small smile to man, woman and child alike.
Chill out, strap on some ear muffs and enter a world where nature rules and men and women are entranced in dream-filled slumber.
"Half Asleep Upon Echo Falls" isn't the flashy album you hear once and run off to tell all your friends about. It's an album focused on controlled drifting, never giving into explosive moments just to grab your attention. Sonically, Whistle Peak knows the exact pace they want to travel at. It may be a slow journey for some, but the scenery created by the songwriting is spectacular, and worth slowing down for. —We Listen For You
They sound like little children discovering toys in their grandparents' basement, a place where miniature Casio keyboards sit next to antique washboards and pieces of stray china. Throw in a toy piano, a tuba, some clever lyrics and some dogs barking in the distance and you have New Folk with a sense of humor. — Michael Verity
It's rare a submission lands with such a satisfying fuzz. — Counterfeit Culture UK
Whistle Peak's very subtle folk experiments connect nicely, fashioning aural comfort food and pleasantry. —No Ripcord

A passenger, sitting behind Ditka, had the courage to capture video of Ditka yelling at the dumb passengers.
If you find yourself on the same flight as Mike Ditka, it probably
would be best that you follow instructions and stay in your seat instead
of filling up the aisle around Da Coach.
posted a video from a
reader of a frustrated Ditka on a flight from Pittsburgh that had to
return to the gate because of mechanical problems. These passengers
should consider themselves fortunate Ditka didn't rise from his seat and
shake them like he did to to quarterback Jim Harbaugh for throwing an
interception against the Vikings.
Here's the link to the video of Ditka giving passengers the treatment: http://deadspin.com/5565028/mike-ditka-gets-annoyed-with-idiocy-of-airplane-passengers-on-recent-flight-video.

|Re: Sample plan bits for configId branch, please review!
|Wed, 15 Feb 2006 15:07:34 GMT
Both options seem pretty equal to me in terms of what they can express but I like the second option better mostly for stylistic reasons. Namely, based on a hunch that typical deployment plans would be less verbose (and therefore less error prone) using this option. A few suggestions for the second option: - Make the current environment/configId element also be a child of the dependency element. This would help make it clear that the "type", "groupId", "version", etc. elements describe the target of the dependency and not the dependency itself. - "scope" seems a bit of a misnomer to me, I think "dependency-type" might be clearer, or you may prefer just "type" if you agree with the previous suggestion - For the value of scope (aka dependency-type) I'm concerned that "both" could be misleading since it already has more than two potential values and more could be added later. So I would suggest listing each scope individually. Here's an example of what the dependency element could look like based on these suggestions: <dependency> <configId> <groupId>geronimo</groupId> <type>car</type> <artifactId>geronimo-gbean-deployer</artifactId> <version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </configId> <dependency-types> <dependency-type>service</dependency-type> <dependency-type>classes</dependency-type> ... <dependency-types> </dependency> Best wishes, Paul On 2/14/06, David Jencks <email@example.com> wrote: > > We need some widespread thought about the new xml schema we're > getting in 1.1.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention contributes to the safe and/or convenient use of operable devices in or under conditions that require the full the attention of a user to be directed elsewhere.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There are numerous operable devices known in the current state of the art that provide an operating panel through which a user of the device can produce and/or change existing operating states. Examples of such types of devices are telephones or stereos. These devices are characterized in that at least one button or knob must be operated to produce and/or change operating states, This may be acceptable when the user can direct his or her full attention to the operable device. However, it is often the case that the user cannot or will not direct any of his or her attention to the operable device due to other events or conditions. For example, if a telephone or car stereo is installed in a vehicle, it is not acceptable from a safety standpoint that the driver, while operating the vehicle, nevertheless makes a telephone call or changes a cassette.
The aspect of convenience as well as the safety aspect has been neglected in many operable devices. For example, if in a vehicle that is equipped with a permanently installed telephone, a user must enter the appropriate data when he wants calls to be forwarded. This is often deemed to be tedious and the user therefore refrains from doing this. Refraining from doing this does not have any consequences other than that the user cannot be reached. This is not the case, however, when a user accidentally uses his or her mobile telephone or laptop computer at a location where the use of such devices is prohibited for safety reasons.
It is also not acceptable for all incoming calls to a mobile telephone to be transferred to the user. This may be desirable in most cases, but in some cases may lead to problems when private calls are "transferred" to the user during a business call, for example.
Even if the problems presented in this context only relate to telephones and car stereos, it should be noted for the sake of completeness that these problems are also present in other operable devices. For example, adjusting the temperature of an air conditioning system or setting up a navigation system while driving is just as dangerous as operating a car phone.
The present invention implements the task of specifying an operable device that takes safety aspects as well as convenience aspects into consideration.
If, in accordance with the invention, there is a decision unit present that blocks or releases certain operating states of the operable device based on received data, then the detection of dangerous situations based on the data can be used to ensure that certain operating states cannot be executed and/or it is impossible to manually operate the operating panel, for example. The latter also results in a training effect that is not to be underestimated because restricting functionality, however it is accomplished, will help the user develop a better feel for dangerous situations and, due to his or her unsuccessful efforts to operate the device in dangerous situations, the user will automatically refrain from operating the device in such situations.
The invention is now explained in more detail based on the drawings.
There is also a decision unit 15 present. This decision unit 15 is connected to sensors 17.1, 17.2 via the wires 16.1, 16.2. Sensor 17.1 has the task of determining the speed of the vehicle 10, The determination of when the vehicle brakes (not shown) have been activated is done via sensor 17.2. Even though the diagram in
Furthermore, the decision unit 15 is connected to the car phone 11 via a data line 19.1 and is connected to the car radio 12 via a data line 19.2.
To better understand the invention it is assumed that the vehicle 10 is moving on a highway at a speed between 100 and 140 kin/h. Furthermore, it is assumed that operating the car phone 11 and/or the car radio 12 at speeds over 130 km/h is considered dangerous.
In this example only sensor 17.1 is present, and it continuously transmits speed values to the decision unit 15. The decision unit 15 is designed as a threshold switch (not presented in more detail). If the threshold switch is provided with speed values from sensor 17.1 that are over the speed of 130 km/h that is considered dangerous, then a signal is triggered and is transmitted on the data lines 19.1, 19.2. This signal then blocks the operation of the operating panel 14 on the car radio 12 and prevents telephone calls from being made in the vehicle 10 and from being received in the vehicle 10.
Just for the sake of completeness it should be noted that it is not necessary for the same speed limitations to apply to both the car radio 12 and the car phone 11. For example, making a telephone call can be prevented at speeds higher than 100 km/h while the operability of the car radio 12 is only restricted at speeds over 120 km/h. Even the various operating states of the car phone 11 could be dependent on the corresponding speed. For example, making a telephone call from the vehicle 10 could be prevented at speeds higher than 50 km/h while receiving a telephone call is allowed at speeds of up to 160 km/h, especially when the telephone is equipped with a hands-free operation accessory.
If the telephone function of the car phone 12 or the operability of the car radio 11 is suspended due to the current vehicle speed, the driver can be optically or acoustically informed of this state at the same time the signal is transmitted on the data lines 19.1, 19.2. In the context of the car phone 12, the unit could be designed so that the driver is also notified of incoming calls even if the current speed prevents the driver from accepting the call, In this case the driver may be provided the opportunity to reduce the speed in order to be able to accept the call. The unit can also be built so that incoming telephone calls are immediately forwarded to a different telephone at speeds where making or receiving a telephone call is prevented. Finally, the unit could be designed so that the number of the caller is stored when the vehicle 10 is moving at a speed higher than the speed at which making and receiving a telephone call is prevented. If the speed of the vehicle 10 drops below the critical value later on, the number stored could be used to automatically dial the caller.
The decision unit 15 can also be designed so that over a time period t the fluctuation of the driving speed is measured and used as a gauge for determining the operability or usability of operable devices. For example, if a speed of 100 km/h with a fluctuation of +/−5 km/h is determined during the time period t, then the demands placed on the driver could be considered low enough to allow the driver to make telephone calls, in contrast to when there is a fluctuation of +/−30 km/h.
If the vehicle 10 is equipped with a navigation system 13 that specifies the way to the destination for the driver through corresponding announcements, then the decision unit 15 can also be modified so that the corresponding announcements must be output at least twice at speeds over a critical speed, while at lower speeds the announcement only needs to be output once.
Even though the speed-dependent usability of the operable devices 11, 12 discussed in Example I already makes an undisputed contribution to safety, this type of influence on the operating states is very static because, from a safety standpoint, it may be safe to make a telephone call at a speed of 130 km/h when driving smoothly, while doing so in another situation at speeds higher than 70 km/h may present a safety hazard. For this reason, a more flexible solution is discussed in the context of Example 2.
To realize this, an initial example is given in which the driving speed is not used immediately to influence the operating states of the operable devices 11, 12, rather the driving speeds are averaged over a time period t within the decision unit 15. Only after this average value is over the speed determined to be critical will a corresponding signal be output on the data lines 19.1, 19.2.
In a second example not only is sensor 17.1 active, but also sensor 17.2. For example, if it is determined that the actual driving speed is above one of the critical values stored in the decision unit but sensor 17.2, which monitors the activation of the brakes, does not notify the decision unit 15 of a braking maneuver over a time period t1, then this can be used as an indicator that in spite of the current speed the operable devices 11, 12 are still operable or usable.
In addition to the vehicle-specific conditions (speed, braking response), external conditions can also be taken into consideration as influencing factors. For example, if the vehicle is equipped with a receiving unit 20 with which traffic and/or weather information can be received, then this information can be used to block or release the operable devices 11, 12, 13. To do this, it is necessary that the data received by the receiving unit 20 is transmitted to the decision unit 15 (not shown in
Just for the sake of completeness it should be noted that the decision unit 15 can also be designed so that all values received by the sensors 17 are evaluated and converted into a driving profile that is then used to decide if the operable devices 11, 12 are usable after comparison with a driving profile stored in the decision unit. The driving profile stored in the decision unit 15 could also be designed to learn. This means that the decision unit 15 adapts the driving profile stored in it to the abilities of the corresponding driver, for example, based on the values received by the sensors 17. This ensures that when the sensors 17 detect values that allow drawing the conclusion that the driver has fast reactions, such a driver can still use the operable devices 11, 12 in somewhat more critical situations than a driver with slower reactions.
Even if the navigation system 13 in
If the navigation system 13 functions as a sensor in accordance with the diagram in
In addition the navigation system 13 can also be used to improve convenience. Because the navigation system always knows the location of the vehicle, this information can easily be used to redirect calls. For example, if the vehicle is parked in front of the office or a private residence, the corresponding location data is transferred to the car phone 12. This information can be used to activate call forwarding so that the user can automatically have his or her calls to the car phone 12 forwarded to the office or private telephone number, depending on the current location of the vehicle.
Furthermore, the mobile telephone 11′ also contains a decision unit 15 that is connected to a clock 26 in the first example. If, for example, the decision unit 15 is informed using a general input that business calls are only allowed between 8 AM and 6 PM, then a telephone call from Hans Schnitt (see display image I) would only be "transferred" to the user between 6 PM and 8 AM while Hubert Mayer (see display image II) can also reach the user between 8 AM and 6 PM due to the "business" annotation. In addition to the clock 26, the decision unit 15 can also be connected to a calendar (not shown) in order to block business calls on the weekend, for example. The mobile telephone shown in
The reference mark 23 designates a sensor for the mobile telephone 11′. This sensor 23 is connected to the decision unit 15 and has the task of receiving signals sent out from a remote sender 24. This sender 24 can be installed in aircraft, offices, hospitals, private dwellings or at gas stations, for example. If the sensor 23 receives the signal sent by the particular sender 24, then this could cause the mobile telephone 11′ to not send out any more signals through the antenna 21 and not display incoming calls any more. The latter is practical in aircraft, for example, where airline companies have officially announced that mobile telephones 11′ that are ready for operation cause problems. If such a sender 24 is installed in offices or private dwellings, then it is ensured that unwanted telephone calls are not "transferred" to the user depending on where the mobile telephone 11′ is located at that moment.
Naturally, the mobile telephone 11′ shown in
The discussion pertaining to making and receiving telephone calls in the classical sense is also naturally applicable to services that are limited to just data transfers. This means that a user who does not want to receive any or only wants to receive specific faxes, e-mails, short messages via SMS and/or information from the Internet via the Mobil Media Mode (WWW:MMM) on his or her mobile telephone 11′ during non-office hours, for example, can block these as described above using clock-based or GPS control.
Finally, we would like to point out that if the user has blocked the "transfer" of business calls or data to his or her residence, then this can be implemented so that the corresponding transmissions are not displayed to the user. However, to prevent the sending of superfluous transmissions that are not shown to the user anyway, it can also be specified that when time or location events arise that are to block or activate certain services according to the user's specifications, the provider is automatically notified of these time or location events to reduce the load on the network.
