I made a tablet app, using MIT's AppInventor, that connects to an arduino via bluetooth. Using Relays, I can control outlets from a distance. I use this setup at parties for an quick and easy DIY light show! The end product is quite impressive!
See it working in action HERE
I have updated a few images from the form and the blocks editor from the AppInventor. Clearly, the app has changed a lot since I first started developing it, and a few new features have been added. For starters, I have three cycling functions. One of them slowly goes through from left to right, and then back left. The next cycle goes quickly through the relays from left to right, and back to left. The last cycle button just goes quickly from left to right. I created a Flash button, which, like the name sounds, flashes all of the relays on and off. They all looked really cool on my house this winter with lights strung all over the place.
The random function is not working, and I would be open to any suggestions. I would like it to pick a random byte (number 0-14) and random delay (0-5 seconds).
As far as hardware is concerned, nothing has been changed. I am using an 8 Channel relay module, and a small bluetooth receiver.
they can be found here respectively:
Thanks again! Let me know if anything needs to be updated.

Dave Fry has devoted over 40 years to the business of trading and portfolio management. He is registered as an arbitrator with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the National Futures Association (NFA).
Dave is a frequent commentator and presenter on ETFs and other issues important to individual investors for ETF conferences and private investment groups. His perspectives are featured in global financial news sources, radio, webinars and print media..
By 2002 ETF Digest trading programs were making triple-digit gains, despite the sharp Dot Com overall market decline at that time and good gains were achieve during the financial crisis of 2008.
The ETF Digest began attracting favorable coverage in Barron's with three positive reviews in 2002, 2004 and 2007.
Career highlights
How many times have I kicked myself because I thought I could outsmart my own system? When I first started trading, it seemed perfectly natural to do things like put off placing an order because I was waiting for current news stories to develop favorably, thinking that I, rather than some system, knew more about current market conditions. I thought it was prudent to err on the side of caution, and, in short, I was not pulling the trigger when I was supposed to. This is a recipe for certain failure for any trader. This is true whether you trade off the signals generated by The ETF Digest or by any other system. A wise trader once said, "An inferior system, consistently implemented, is superior to a great system inconsistently implemented."
It makes sense for investors to spread their portfolio over a wide asset class. The ETF Digest offers effective trading signals on a wide variety of market sectors, and I hope that subscribers will benefit by placing themselves in the strongest sectors and out of the weakest sectors at the best time.A key risk-reducing strategy that will optimize overall portfolio return has been the advent of ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds). These low-expense securities allow investors broad market exposure, flexibility (including the easy ability to short), and little individual stock risk.
I hate losing money. Everyone does. Yet, if you were operating a newsstand on a street corner, you'd lose money from time to time. It happens. Accept trading losses as a cost of doing business and move forward. It's the only path to success.
A "buy and hold" approach is a prescription for ultimate failure. Even the "averaging down" principles touted by many experts have proven to be a disaster. Just ask investors involved in the 1973-75, 2000-2002 and more recent bear market how well their stocks recovered when at last bull markets resumed. Many of the hottest stocks from those markets disappeared from the scene and never returned. Bull market maxims such as "buy and hold," "invest for the long term," and "average down" are hurtful to investors. Fee-conflicted firms want investors to stay in the market for the long term so they can earn long-term fees.
The NASDAQ, for example, peaked in 2000 at a level over 5,000 and nearly 10 years later is half that level.
One of my favorite people once said, "There are many ways to get to heaven." That maxim may also apply to investing or trading the markets. Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, Bill Gross, and Barton Biggs are just a few of the more famous names on Wall Street. They each have different methods, but they do share some things in common. They are successful because they are disciplined and consistent in their methods. I respect that in them. They would not necessarily agree with my style of investing, but they would respect the discipline and the results.
Years ago, when I was running my own brokerage firm, an opportunity was presented for me to hire a gentleman who possessed a PhD. He was a great guy whom I liked very much, but unfortunately, the relationship didn't work out for either of us.
Shortly after I retained his services, I excitedly told my mentor and best client of what I thought was a hiring coup for my company. His silence let me know he wasn't impressed. About two weeks later, I received a plain manilla envelope from him containing a photocopy of an essay entitled, "From the Garden." It was written in the 1930's about the great economist, John Maynard Keynes. In London during this period a group of very smart and well-connected financiers had convinced Keynes to manage a public fund that they would market. His stellar reputation and credentials would surely bring in many clients, and high fees would flow to these organizers and Keynes. It never occurred to them that Keynes couldn't manage money. During a short period of time, the value of the assets garnered by these individuals and entrusted to Keynes dwindled away. He was quietly removed from the management of the portfolio and returned to his proper role as an economist.
The bottom line: Keynes didn't have the stomach for trading and wasn't able to pull the trigger.
How does the ETF Digest determine its Market signals?
The ETF Digest studies markets from a technical chart perspective trying to identify and invest in emerging market trends. This is done through a careful analysis of "daily", "weekly" and "monthly" charts of indexes and related ETFs or securities.
Our focus is to identify trends that may prove long-lasting and profitable.
Our objective is to make "two-thirds" of long-term market trends.

Good stuff. Ugly charts. Nate Sterling, Dec. 13, 2015, Seeking Alpha
Beautifully (sic) analytic graphs, David, but an ugly picture of our current investment environment. As Elvis might say, "I'll have a blue, blue Christmas..." 26891391, Dec. 12, 2015 Seeking Alpha
Great charts and analysis David. Indeed, the news encompass all of your aforementioned definitions, in other words they are deceptive to the unsuspecting investor ("smart money" always tries to conceal it's real intentions from the general investing public; however traders know best and are always prepared by following closely all chart period trends). cfetrader 11.7.15
Mr Fry: thanks so much for the work you do which saves me hours and hours sifting and charting data. (I generally follow a technical approach to the market) Your work allows me to quickly see trends on market/sector level. Your pithy comments also prod me to think on my own. Obviously I have to use your data and my additional analysis to make a buy or sell. A very valuable SA resource. couldashoulda 10.29.15
After more than 40 years in the investment advisory business, I've elected to retire ... good grief, do I have to get into gardening (?) or bird house building (?). I so much enjoyed ETF Digest (I think for 15 years or so), your daily epistles as well as your timely sense of humor. My cudos to Dave and all of yinze (that's Pittsburgh speak) at ETF Digest. Best wishes to all. Irv P. 9.16.2015
I find your graphs and succinct, grounded comments to be extraordinarily useful. A picture is worth a thousand words, but your brief words add something invaluable. Very appreciative of your work. Cheers. An10 June 11, 2015

Hello, I only have time each day, or a few times a week, to read Dave's Daily and that's it (and they are excellent). Stuart W. December 14, 2014
"Intraday Commentary & overall portfolio structure. Very much enjoy the commentaries from D.Gillies and others..."
"Sorry - I am pretty new to this whole game, so take my comments lightly please. What is most valuable to me is Dave's open debate, i.e. where he says the upside and downside of a situation, and then makes his summary call. Too many other blogs only make a case pro or con and, unsurprisingly, those blogs tend to be viewed by readers as un-credible. Credibility and charts is why I read this digest."
"He is among the best in the game, and just keep being Dave as true Dave....not afraid to be wrong as wrong.....He have one of the soundest head, and it is okay to be wrong, as LONG as we have gather most odd on our side....uh, Dave's side......... never have much trust in the technical chart's longevity in "correctness"......anyway ......"
"Keep comenting (sic)on all the dirty tricks hedge funds or HFT or all the other greedy professional money managers do. I can't find where to read about this anywhere else as clear as Dave do it."
"I value Dave's Daily for the Overview, charts and humor and his experience overall for depth of analysis. The reason tech analysis, and for that matter, fundamentals don't produce the results they used to, is because the degree of lawlessness and fraud is unprecedented. Casinos are more fairly run and better regulated with no HFT distortion. I wouldn't change Dave's Daily; you just have to acknowledge the environment we're operating in and everyone has to modify their strategies accordingly ."
"I value Dave's personal opinion very highly. It is concise and to the point. The connection to other web pages as needed has also been very helpful."
"Short term view. Everything I tried with recs failed."
"It helps me make better decisions on Sunday evening, when Asain (sic) markets open for business, as far as the upcoming week."
"Dave is brilliant, humorous and is a teacher. I am not invested at this time because of the overt manipulation of the markets and so I have not YET availed myself of the premium services."
"Just interesting to see his read on the markets versus my own."
"Helps me time buy/sell decisions & I rarely invest in etf's but the charts give insights into what's happens in a different sector."
"The daily S&P chart with Dave's cryptic comment gives me a quick overview of the day's event. This has been very valuable to me in planning my next day's activity in the market. Other charts also give me a quick review of what is going on in various sectors of the market as well as in the international markets."
"Have taken similar positions when long or short has been indicated."
"..x-check / verify Dorsey Wright P&F / Relative Strength discipline § provides a macro backdrop. I subscribe to a couple of newsletters and keep up to date via a few blogs. Dave's Daily is one of my valued resources"
"I greatly respect Dave and I have learned so much from him! Dave's Daily is absolutely essential reading (next to ZeroHedge). No improvement possible for someone at the top of his game. My only suggestion would be to add more content from David Gillie , who has been writing some very interesting articles as well. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at ETF Digest! Kind regards. ps: Dave, I know from time to time people have been giving you a hard time for staying on the sidelines and in cash. I've got the same problems with my family members who consider 'cash' a four-letter word. FOOLS!! Please ignore the noise and focus on what your experience is telling you. I can't thank you enough for sharing your thoughts with others."
"Love the weekend videos, please do more."
"Especially like the posting of other market experts to round out analysis of markets, charts, events."

Silymarin, an extract of milk thistle seeds, prevents liver injury and disease progression in many animal models. Recent clinical studies indicate that silymarin also reduces hepatitis C viral load and progression of hepatitis C liver disease in humans. If we are to understand and exploit the full value of this natural product, we must understand how silymarin protects the liver, which has not been clearly elucidated. In our NCCAM-funded R21, we discovered that silymarin blocks hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and have since defined the stages of the HCV lifecycle that are blocked by silymarin. We have isolated and evaluated the 8 major components of silymarin in hepatoprotection assays that measure antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory functions. This proposal will use two parallel approaches to discover the mechanisms of action of silymarin. Specifically, we will identify the physiological target(s) of silymarin components that confer hepatoprotection in the forms of antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Our hypothesis is that silymarin components interact with mammalian biomolecules in a specific and productive manner to cause changes in signal transduction and gene expression in a cell to protect the liver. We will address the hypothesis in two specific aims that will 1) identify transcriptional changes using microarrays of liver cell lines and primary hepatocyte cultures treated with silymarin and silymarin-derived pure compounds, 2) identify and validate cellular targets of silymarin compounds using chemical proteomics. By examining silymarin-induced gene regulation and elucidating cellular targets of silymarin, this application is intentionally responsive to RFA-AT-11-001. At the end of the funding period, we anticipate that we will know the cellular targets of silymarin and how silymarin causes changes in a cell at a systems biology level, thereby providing the first detailed explanation of how silymarin protects the liver. The novel data emanating from this research project are expected to pave the way for identification of biomarkers of silymarin treatment and efficacy, as well as guiding refinements in silymarin- based natural product treatments for liver disease.
Silymarin, an extract of milk thistle seeds, has been used in a variety of therapeutic applications that take advantage of its hepatoprotective properties, including prevention of HCV infection, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The physiological cellular target(s) and mechanism(s) of action of the component silymarin compounds are currently not known, and this proposal describes methods to identify these targets and mechanisms. We will then use this information to improve natural product-based treatments for liver disease, which is global health problem.

Cookbook cover image courtesy of Random House
If you've made another recipe that called for Garlic Mayonnaise and happen to have some left over in the refrigerator, a dollop of it on the plate makes a delicious addition to this hearty, rustic dish.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed
- 4 sweet or spicy Italian pork sausages (preferably flavored with fennel; about 3/4 pound)
- 16 large whole radicchio leaves
- 16 small jarred onions, quartered (about 4 ounces or 1 cup)
- 2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- Kosher salt
- 2 15-ounce cans giant white beans, rinsed and drained (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- High-quality extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oil's almost smoking (you will begin to smell the oil at that point).
- Add the sausages and cook, turning them often for even browning, for about 10 minutes, until they're browned all over but not cooked through.
- Move the sausages to the side of the skillet to continue to cook while you sear the radicchio.
- Put a couple of radicchio leaves in the skillet in a single layer and cook them for about 45 seconds on each side, until they're seared and wilted slightly.
- Remove the leaves to a plate and cook the remaining leaves in the same way, adding a bit more oil to the pan if it's dry.
- While you sear the radicchio leaves, continue to cook and turn the sausages for another 10 minutes, until they're cooked through, and transfer them to a plate when they're done.
- Add a bit more olive oil if necessary to coat the skillet.
- Add the onions, garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt and sauté for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the onions are soft and the garlic is soft and fragrant, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't brown. Reduce the heat to medium, add the beans and broth, and simmer them until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the oregano and season with kosher salt.
- Arrange four radicchio leaves in a clover pattern on each of four plates.
- Spoon the beans over the radicchio, dividing them evenly, and drizzle them with the sauce left in the skillet.
- Cut the sausages in half at an angle and place the two pieces of each sausage side by side on each plate.
- Top with a dollop of Garlic Mayonnaise, if you are using it, and drizzle the sausage and beans with the high-quality olive oil.

MSI GEFORCE GTX 660 Ti 2GB Power Edition Video Card Review
Lost Planet 2
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark - Test A Scene 1
Developer Homepage: http://www.capcom.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.lostplanet2game.com/
Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition which is also made by Capcom, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet. The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The plot begins with Mercenaries fighting against Jungle Pirates. After destroying a mine, the Mercenaries continue on to evacuate the area, in which a Category-G Akrid appears and attacks them. After being rescued, they find out their evacuation point (Where the Category-G appeared) was a set-up and no pick up team awaited them. The last words imply possible DLC additions to the game, "There's nothing to be gained by wiping out snow pirates... unless you had some kind of grudge."
Lost Planet 2 sees some great gains with the best being seen at the highest resolution. We can see that the out of the box overclock really does a fantastic job of boosting our numbers as we scrape just past 60 FPS with the reference clocked card to a solid 70 FPS on the MSI version.

R F and Microwave Diodes
Diodes which finds application in R F and Microwave circuits are classified under this category. At lower frequencies these diodes behave like ordinary junction diodes. But at R F and microwave frequencies , their characteristics can be made use to process signals in that frequency range. The classification chart is shown below. R F and Microwave Diodes
Varactor PIN Step Recovery Mixer Detector TED* Parametric Tunnel Diodes Diodes Diodes Diodes Diodes amplifier Diodes Diodes GUNN, IMPATT LSA, TRAPATT, etc
* TransferredElectron Devices
(1). Varactor Diodes In P-N junction as the junction is formed holes and electrons at the junction diffuses to either sides leaving behind immobile charged ions. So as the equilibrium is reached at the junction only ions will be left out. This region is called the depletion region. This layer is the cause of contact potential of the diode. On either sides of the layer there are electrons and holes. So this layer behaves like an insulator separating charged particles. This analogues to a parallel plate capacitor. When the diode is forward biased the electrons and holes gets energy to cross the junction and they recombine with the opposite charge at the other side of the junction. This results in a storage of charges on either sides of the junction. This in turn is equivalent to a capacitance called Diffusion capacitance. The value of this is negligibly small. When the diode is reverse biased more electrons and holes move away from the junction, and effectively the depletion layer width increases. As in the case of a parallel plate capacitor ( where the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates ), the capacitance decreases. This capacitance is calledtransition capacitance. Comparatively this is more than the diffusion capacitance. This property of varying the diode capacitance with the reverse voltage is useful in tuning circuits, Automatic Frequency Control ( AFC ) circuits, etc. Hence Varactor diodes finds application in these areas. The variation of capacitance with frequency is dependent on the semiconductor doping, because the concentration of electrons affects the capacitance. Depending on the doping, varactor diodes are classified as Abrupt Junction and Hyperabrupt Junctionvaractors. The variation of the capacitance with voltage in these two cases are illustrated below.

R F and Microwave Diodes - An Introduction
In the case of Abrupt junction diodes, the capacitance variation is roughly inversely proportional to the reverse voltage. The variation is represented by the following equation. C = K.A.( V + v )-n where: C = capacitance of the diode at voltage, V. K = Constant. A = Area of cross-section of the diode. ........................(1)
v = Built in potential of the diode.
n = Slope exponent.
In the case of Hyperabrupt junction diodes, the capacitance variation is represented by the following equation. C = C0 .( 1 + V/v )- γ where: C = capacitance of the diode at voltage, V. C0 = capacitance of the diode at voltage, V= 0. ........................(2)
= Built in potential of the diode. = Slope exponent.
The only difference between the above two equations are that in the case of Hyperabrupt diodes, the slope exponent (γ ) is a function of the voltage. This varies in the range of 0.5 to 2, whereas slope exponent in the case of Abrupt diodes is approximately equal to 0.5. The slope exponent is generally called "Gamma". Quality Factor of a varactor( Q - Factor )
A tuning varactor can be represented by the following electrical equivalent circuit. Cj Rs Cj = Junction Capacitance. Rs = Series Resistance. Rj = Junction resistance.
Rj The resistor 'Rs' represents the resistance of the diode material. This causes unwanted power dissipation in the diode. This dissipation should be as low as possible. To measure this a parameter called Quality factor is introduced. It is defined as, Q = 2. π . Energy stored / Energy dissipated per cycle. = 1 / ( 2. π.f.Cj. Rs ). Where: f = Frequency. From the above equation it is clear that Q factor varies inversely as the frequency. High Q factor is preferred for a varactor to give better performance. If the Q factor at one frequency is known, the value at another frequency can be calculated as, Q at f1 = Q at f2 . ( f2 / f1 ) Usually manufacturers measures the Q factor at a higher frequency and extrap olate to lower frequency (usually 50 MHz ), using the above relationship. Another important parameter of the varactor diodes is the capacitance ratio. This is the ratio of the diode capacitance at a lower voltage to the value at a higher voltage. This gives the range in which we can operate the diode. A higher value of capacitance ratio ( also called 'tuning ratio' ), is preferred.

( 2 ). PIN Diodes ( Positive Intrinsic Negative )
PIN diode is a semiconductor device that operates as a variable resist at RF and Microwave frequencies. or It can also be used as a switch and Limiter. The variable resistor property makes it usable as an Attenuator. P I N
W The figure shows the construction of PIN diode. A P -type material and N -type are separated by an intrinsic region. The thickness of the intrinsic region has a major role in the characteristics of the diode. When forward biased, holes and electrons are injected from P and N regions to the Intrinsic region. The se charges do not immediately recombine, instead a finite quantity of charge always remain stored and effectively results in lowering the resistivity of the I - region. The quantity of the stored charge depends on the carrier life time ), and (τ the forward current I . F Charge Stored Q = IF . τ ......................... (1) The resistance of the intrinsic region under forward bias is given by Resistance Where : W = I - region width µN = electron mobility µP = hole mobility [ Note: The velocity of electrons under an applied electric field is directly proportional to the electric field. If ' ' is E the electric field intensity and 'v ' is the electron velocity, then v RS = W2 / ( µN + µP ). Q ...............( 2 )
or, v
= µE
where µ = Mobility of electrons]
Combining both equations we get : RS = W2 / ( µN + µP ). IF . τ
So as the forward current increases the resistance decreases. This explains the use as a Current Controlled Resistor. The graph shown below gives the resistance variation characteristics.

As the PIN diode resistance is controlled by the forward current, the diode can be used as a switch at RF and Microwave frequencies. If the forward current is sufficient to reduce the resistance to a very low value, it behaves like a short circuit. If reverse biased the diode is an open circuit and the signal is not allowed to pass through. A typical PIN diode switching circuit is shown below. In this case diode combination behaves as an SPDT switch.
If the BIAS 1 is to forward bias D1, then the input RF signal will be available at RF1 output. Similarly if the diode D2 is biased in the forward direction by the voltage BIAS 2, then RF input is directed to output, RF2. In this manner the diode combination acts as an SPDT switch. PIN diode can be used as an attenuator similar to a resistive attenuator. Here the resistance of the I- region is controlled by the current and thus the attenuation ratio can be controlled. PIN diodes with thin I- region width are best suited for Limiter applications. But for high power limiter applications thick I- region is preferred. PIN diodes protects the Mixer or Detector circuits from the high power input signals by providing a bypass path to the ground. If the input current is very high, the diode resistance decreases to a very low value so that current will be bypassed through the diode, to the ground.
( 3 ). Step Recovery Diodes
Step recovery diodes ( also called Snap off varactors ) are used for frequency multiplication, Harmonic frequency generation etc. When a diode is forward biased, it stores charge and as the diode is reverse biased, the diode ceases to conduct. If the turning off of the diode is so fast then the diode can be used to generate an impulse of current. If this is done cyclically, then a train of impulses can be generated. A periodic series of impulses is equivalent to a series of frequencies ( all multiples of the exciting signal frequency ). If this pulses are applied to a resonant circuit with the desired frequency as the resonant frequency of the circuit, then the output power will be maximum at the resonant frequency. Thus the input power at one frequency can be converted into output power at higher frequency. Efficiency of the step recovery diode is measured as: η = PO / (PO + PD ) . 100 % Where: PO = output power PD = power dissipation. Applications 1. Frequency multiplication Step recovery diodes can be used as frequency multipliers. In this case, signal frequency which is to be multiplied is given as input to the diode. The multiplied frequency signal power is a function of the multiplication ratio. Higher the multiplication ratio, lower the power output. This in turn results in the decrease in the efficiency. So most of the manufacturers will be giving the efficiency for a particular output power and multiplication order. Let us see how the signal frequency gets multiplied. The application of an AC voltage to a non-linear resistor ( or reactance ) results in a current which is proportional to the higher order components of the voltage. i.e
2 Current i = A. v + B. v + C. v3 + ... where A, B, C .. are constants. If we neglect the components of power more than 2, then

2 i = A. v + B. v if v = V.Cos then ωt, i = A. V.Cos + B.( V.Cosωt )2 ωt
= A. V.Cos + B. V2.( Cosωt )2 = A. V.Cos + B. V2.( 1+ Cos2ωt ) / 2 ωt ωt From the above equation, it is clear that output contains the second harmonic of the input frequency. As the Step recovery diode acts as a voltage variable capacitor, it is behaving as a non-linear reactance, and the generated current will have higher harmonics of the input signal frequency. 2. Harmonic generation When a step voltage is applied to the diode, it generates serie of current pulses, which can be applied to a s tuned circuit to get the desired frequency. Depending on the resonant frequency of the tuned circuit, any harmonic component of the input frequency can be generated. 3. Comb generation Comb generator gives very sharp and narrow pulses, which can be used in measurement equipments like Spectrum analysers to produce locking signals. Step recovery signals can be used to generate comb signals by applying a step voltage input to the diode. In this case tuned circuit is not required, as the required signal should be rich with harmonic components.
( 4 ). Mixer diodes Mixer is an important part of a communication receiver. If the RF signal coming from the transmitter is directly fed to a demodulator and amplifiers, the received signal will not be an exact replica of the transmitted signal. As the circuit components are not linear operation at RF frequencies, this results in introduction of unwanted noise, unstable operation of amplifiers due to the feedback caused by capacitors ( i.e, at RF frequencies, capacitive reactance is very less, causing in a short circuiting effect. ). These problems can be avoided if the translation of frequency to a lower value is done without affecting the message. In mixers, the RF signal is mixed with a Local oscillator frequency and the difference frequency is generated ( called Intermediate Frequency IF ) and applied to the rest of the circuits. Mixer circuit makes use of the non-linear properties of a mixer diode, to produce the Intermediate Frequency. This can be done with a single diode or with multiple diodes in ' balanced ' or ' double balanced ' circuit configurations. Schottky barrier, point contact barrier, planar doped barrier, etc. are the most common diode technologies preferred for the mixer application. Let us see how the signal frequency and Local oscillator frequency gets Mixed ( or subtracted and giving the Intermediate frequency ). The application of an AC voltage to a non-linear resistor ( or reactance ) results ia current which is n proportional to the higher order components of the voltage. i.e
2 Current i = A. v + B. v + C. v3 + ... where A, B, C .. are constants. If we neglect the components of power more than 2, then 2 i = A. v + B. v If we apply two AC signals to the device, then
i = A.( v1 + v2 ) + B.( v1 + v2 )2 if v1 = V1.Sinω1t, and v2 = V2.Sinω2t then i = A.( V1.Sinω1t + V2.Sinω2t ) + B.( V1.Sinω1t + V2.Sinω2t )2 = A. V1.Sinω1t + A. V2.Sinω2t +B. V12.( Sinω1t )2 +B. V22.( Sinω2t )2 + 2B V1 V2 Sinω1t Sinω2t = A. V1.Sinω1t + A. V2.Sinω2t + B. V12.( 1- Cos2ω1t ) / 2 + B. V22.( 1- Cos2ω2t ) / 2 + B V1 V2 [ Cos (ω1 - ω2) - Cos (ω1 + ω2) ] ...... as Sin.x Sin.y = [ Cos (x -y) - Cos (x + y) ]/ 2 It is clear from the above derivation that the current has the Sum and Difference frequencies, along with the second harmonic components and the input signal frequency. In the case of a diode used as a mixer, the RF and Local Oscillator inputs are given as shown in the figure. The IF output is taken from the other end as indicated in the figure.

IF out ( 5 ). Detector Diodes Detector is an important part of a receiver. This circuit is used for recovering the transmitted signal from the modulated signal. Schottky, Point contact, Pressure contact, Planar doped barrier, etc. are the common diode technologies used for detector diode construction. A typical diode detector circuit is shown in figure.
IF in
Impedance matching and tuning is done by the transformer. The output of the transformer ( IF ) is fed to the detector diode, which rectifies the signal, giving out the positive half cycles. This is applied to the R-C circuit. At each positive cycle of the IF input, C charges to the value almost equal to the input voltage. Between the peaks of the input voltage, capacitor discharges through R, similar to the case of a rectifier filter arrangement. So across the diode we get the modulating signal.
( 6 ). Gunn Diodes Gunn diodes works under the principle of " transferred electron effect ". This was invented by the scientist Gunn. He had found this in compound semiconductors like GaAs, InP, etc. As these are compound semiconductors, these has a complex energy band structure. this is shown in the figure below.
Empty Band Forbidden Gaps partly filled band
Filled band The upper forbidden gap is very narrow. If voltage is applied across GaAs slice, electrons flow towards the positive end. But the applied field makes the electrons able to get transferred to the upper energy band, as the electrons require very less energy to jump to this level ( because of the complex energy band structure ). Thus instead of moving faster under the applied field, these electrons slows down. This is because, as they acquire more energy,
Anoop N. K
Page: 6
R F and Microwave Diodes - An Introduction
they become less mobile. This is called 'transferred electron effect '. So in effect, the current is reduced even though there is an increase in voltage. This results in the 'negative resistance ' property. In a semiconductor slice, the doping of impurity will not be uniform throughout the slice. So there is a chance that number of electrons in an area ( possibly nearer to the negative end ), is less compared to the other areas of the slices. So this region becomes less conductive than the other regions. So the potential across this region will be greater than the average potential across the slice. As the applied potential is increased, this region will be the first to have a voltage large enough to introduce transfer of electrons to the higher energy band. these electrons form a bunch in which the electrons in the front level moves faster while the ones behind buch up. So in effect, the bunch of electrons travel towards the positive end of the slice. As the bunch of electrons reach the positive end, it generates a current pulse there. This pulse is rich in harmonics and if it is applied to a tank circuit ( LC tuned circuit ), it results in oscillations at the resonant frequency of the tank circuit. Thus GUNN diodes can be used as oscillators. Drift Velocity Eth = Threshold Field Ev = Valley Field Stable region Unstable region Current
Electric field Eth Ev
The figures given above shows the variation of the drift velocity with electric field, and v ariation of current with voltage. If the applied field is less than the Threshold value ( E ), the specimen is stable. In this region, the th Gunn diode can be used to amplify the input signal. If the diode is to be used as an oscillator, then the applied field should be more than the threshold value. At the initial formation of the domain, as explained earlier, the field behind the domain decreases and the field in front increases. As the layer approaches the anode, the field behind it begins to increase again. When the high field domain disappears at the anode, a new dipole field starts at the cathode and start moving towards the anode. So a series of pulses are obtained at the anode. The oscillation frequency is given by frequency ( f ) = vd / Leff Where: vd = Velocity of the domain, ( approximately equal to the drift velocity of electrons ) Leff = Effective length that the domain travels
( 7 ). IMPATT diodes ( IMP Avalanche Transit Time diodes ) act When sufficient reverse voltage is given to a diode, electrons acquire energy to move faster hitting the bonded electrons and imparting energy to them. Thus the electrons are made free. These free electrons move faster the applied electric field and the process is continued. This goes on resulting in avalanche multiplication of electrons. After application of the field, there will be a time delay for generation of the multiplication. Similarly electron velocity will not be sufficient to cop up with the variation of voltage ( transit time effect ). These two factors results in a delay 0 in the generation of the current. If it sufficiently high to make a 180phase difference between the voltage and the current, it results in the ' negative resistance effect ' ( current decreases as voltage increases ). IMPATT diode works under this principle. This includes impact ionisation of atoms, avalanche multiplication of electrons, and the transit time effect. The structure of the diode is shown below. Avalanche region Drift region

R F and Microwave Diodes - An Introduction
Operation: A d.c biasing voltage is applied just enough to start avalanche multiplication. When an AC voltage is applied over the DC, during the negative half cycle, the diode gets more reverse biased, and avalanche multiplication starts. For the entire half cycle, it develops. When the AC voltage decreases to zero, ( i.e, voltage across the diode equals DC reverse voltage ) avalanche current becomes maximum ( at the junction ). Because of the positive voltage at the cathode, electrons are attracted towards cathode. During this time applied AC voltage decreases to zero. While constructing the diode, the length and area of the semiconductor is selected such that, the electrons reaches the cathode when the applied voltage is reaching the negative peak. This is indicated in the figure. + Vm

t Current
Current pulse reached the cathode when v = - Vm
Current pulse at the t junction is Maximum at v = 0 Applications The negative resistance property can be made use of in the application as an oscillator, similar to a Gunn diode. The stable region of operation can be used to amplify the RF signals. Compared to Gunn diodes, IMPATT diodes give more output power. But the noise immunity of IMPATT diodes is very less than Gunn diodes. Moreover it requires higher supply voltage for the operation. But IMPATT diodes are more efficient and powerful than Gunn diodes. ( 8 ).Parametric Amplifier Parametric amplifier diodes are similar to varactor diodes. Here, the parametric variation ( reactance variation with the voltage ) is made use of to amplify RF signals. A rectangular wave called ' pumping signal ' is applied to the diode to vary the reactance. This signal frequency is selected such that it is twice the frequency of the signal to be amplified. Consider an LC circuit oscillating at its resonant frequency. If the capacitance plates are pulled apart at the instant when the voltage reaches the positive peak, the capacitance decreases. The charge stored remains the same and the voltage across the capacitor increases ( to satisfy the relation Charge = Voltage x Capacitance ). Similar to this case, if we apply a reverse biasing voltage across a varactor diode( which is used as a part of an LC circuit ), when the reverse bias is maximum at the positive peak, the voltage across the diode gets increased.

( 9 ).Tunnel Diode Before discussing the operation of tunnel diode, let us see the energy band structure of semiconductors. Electrons in a semiconductor bar may have different energies. So in the energy band diagram, electrons lie in different positions. The probability of finding an electron in a particular energy band can be calculated using ' Fermi - Dirac probability function'. It is given by, Probability of finding an electron in energy band E , f (E ) = 1/ ( 1+ e (E - EF )/ kT ) where: E F = Fermi energy, in eV k = Boltzmann's constant= 8.62 X 10 -5 eV/ 0K
T = Temperature , in 0K
In the above equation, if E =EF is substituted, then we get f( E ) = 1/ 2 = 50 %. So Fermi level can be defined as the energy level at which there is 50 % probability of finding an electron. In a semiconductor having impurities, the energy band diagram will be as shown in the figure.
conduction band EF
EF valence band
Energy band diagram of a P-N junction is shown below. P N conduction band
valence band
space charge region In the case of tunnel diode, the doping is very high that the tunneling occurs. If reverse bias is applied, the minority carriers of P - region ( electrons ) gains energy and move to the upper energy level. So the percentage of finding electrons in the higher energy level increases. In turn the Fermi level rises. So the electrons finds the conduction band of N-region to be in the same level as them and they tunnel through the depletion region. Thus the reverse current increases unlike other P-N junctions. In the case of forward biasing, the holes manages to tunnel across the junction ( electrons tunnel to P region ). As the higher energy band electrons tunnel to the other side, the Fermi level goes down. So the current reaches a maximum value and then starts decreasing. This results in the formation of the' negative resistance region' in the characteristics curve. As the tunneling of electrons are over, the diode starts behaving similar to an ordinary junction diode and current increases. The negative resistance property of tunnel diodes can be made use of in oscillators, amplifiers , etc. as explained in the case of Gunn and IMPATT diodes.

Reblogged from Racked: Following months of negative press and layoffs, Target has instituted a sweeping change of its dress code at its Minneapolis HQ in the hopes that a more relaxed policy will make employees happier. The retailer announced the news on Monday, saying that they now trust Target team members to "dress for their day."
What does that mean, exactly? Let's let Target explain: "For example, a big day might call for something like a dress or a suit, or maybe even dressy jeans and a blazer. For a low-key day, jeans and a nice polo might be the answer." In a memo to employees that was leaked to press, Target said, "We all know that casual days, weeks or months make team members really happy. We also know that life's a little easier when we have more choices — and less dry cleaning."
Image via Style Mag.
For the past ten years, Target's dress code has been rather strict. Men were required to wear jackets or ties and women were not allowed to wear sleeveless shirts without a jacket or cardigan to cover their arms. The rules regarding attire were so strict that they supposedly ran 20 pages long on Target's internal website.
Target's not sliding all the way into startup-land: no flip flops, Birks or "heavily-worn" shoes are allowed; women aren't supposed to wear spaghetti-strap tops or leggings as pants; and shorts and overalls are both verboten. (Racked)

Article via Ecouterre: Levi Strauss has developed a new way to make jeans using 100 percent recycled water. The denim manufacturer, which applied the first-of-its-kind process to 100,000 pairs of women's jeans during a test run, says it saved some 12 million liters of agua, or enough to fill nearly five Olympic-size swimming pools. The technique, according to Levi's, is the result of a new, third-party-verified water-recycling standard designed to ease the stress of garment production on freshwater supplies.
One of the company's key factories, located in southern China, worked with Levi's to engineer a system that treats and recovers all the water used in the finishing process for subsequent runs. "This water recycling can happen over and over, significantly reducing the overall amount of water used to make our products," says Reza Hosseini, manager of environmental site and compliance assessment at Levi's. "As long as the water meets our standards to deliver the quality you expect from our brands, it can be recycled multiple times."
Till now, there has been a dearth of standards for water recycling and reuse in the apparel industry, adds Hosseini. "This is a company and industry first," he says. "And we believe this innovation can help change the way our supplier factories use water."

Joe's Jeans released their spring campaign in a new video titled "Just A Perfect Day". The protagonists are liberated New Yorkers who live against the grain of society's standards, which in some cases means becoming a runaway bride (with jeans hidden below a wedding dress), and doing the morning "walk of shame", without any shame at all. Joe's wants to encourage their customers to let go of the standards for how we should be living, and start living up to our own personal standards. What does that mean? Well, we suspect it might cause a few cab riders to veer off course and do what they really want to do with their day.

Hearing oral arguments on April 21, 2014, the United States Supreme Court has waded into the contentious world of food labeling in the case of Pom Wonderful LLC v. Coca-Cola Co. [1] While the facts of Pom may present a garden-variety "truth-in-labeling" dispute to most trademark and regulatory lawyers, the case may resolve an important question for anyone involved in food or drug sales and marketing: whether a private party can bring a false advertising claim with respect to a product label regulated by—and conforming to—federal labeling requirements, as enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We summarize here Pom's path to the Supreme Court and where it may lead.
How we got here
Pom Wonderful LLC (Pom) produces, markets, and sells POM WONDERFUL brand bottled pomegranate juice and various pomegranate juice blends, including a pomegranate-blueberry juice blend. Coca-Cola's Minute Maid subsidiary is one of Pom's primary competitors in the bottled pomegranate juice market.
In 2008, Pom sued Coca-Cola under the federal Lanham Act [2] and California law, alleging that the name, labeling, marketing, and advertising of the pomegranate-blueberry juice product named "Minute Maid Enhanced Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored 100% Juice Blend" (Pomegranate Blueberry) constituted false advertising. Specifically, Pom alleged that Pomegranate Blueberry's labeling misled consumers because the product contained little actual pomegranate or blueberry juice (less than 0.5 percent) but consisted almost entirely of apple and grape juices. Coke defended itself by arguing that FDA regulations under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) expressly authorized the name and label of Pomegranate Blueberry, precluding any Lanham Act liability, and preempting Pom's labeling claims under state law.
The United States District Court for the Central District of California sided with Coke. The court dismissed Pom's Lanham Act challenge to Pomegranate Blueberry's name and labeling because it "may be construed as impermissibly challenging the FDA's regulations regarding an acceptable 'common or usual name' and appropriate labeling for a multiple-juice beverage." [3] The court stated: "any such determination that naming and labeling must be displayed in a particular way or fashion, as Pom suggests, would necessarily be for the FDA to determine, and so, is not for this Court to construe or interpret." [4] Perhaps less surprisingly, Pom's state law claims were preempted "to the extent they [sought] to impose obligations differing from those contained in the FFDCA and its accompanying FDA regulations regarding the Juice's 'common or usual name. . . .'" [5]
Although Pom could not challenge Pomegranate Blueberry's name and labeling, the California federal court allowed Pom's Lanham Act claim to proceed with regard to Coke's advertising and marketing of the product because findings relating to that conduct would not require the interpretation of FDA regulations. [6]
Pom appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed in part. Emphasizing the FDA's primary jurisdiction over juice beverage labeling, the Ninth Circuit concluded that Pom's Lanham Act claim would create a conflict with FDA regulations governing juice labeling, and that the FDA had the responsibility and unique expertise to protect against deception in labeling:
We are primarily guided in our decision not by Coca-Cola's apparent compliance with FDA regulations but by Congress's decision to entrust matters of juice beverage labeling to the FDA and by the FDA's comprehensive regulation of that labeling. To give as much effect to Congress's will as possible, we must respect the FDA's apparent decision not to impose the requirements urged by Pom. And we must keep in mind that we lack the FDA's expertise in guarding against deception in the context of juice beverage labeling. In the circumstances here, the appropriate forum for [Pom's] complaints is the [FDA]. [7]
In January 2014, the Supreme Court accepted Pom's petition for certiorari to decide whether "the court of appeals erred in holding that a private party cannot bring a Lanham Act claim challenging a product label regulated under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." [8]
Why Pom matters
Pom brings into stark contrast the interrelationship between the FFDCA and the Lanham Act. The FFDCA places food labels squarely within the authority of the FDA. [9] "Compared to the Lanham Act, which is primarily intended to protect commercial interests from unfair competition, the FFDCA, which was passed by Congress in response to unsafe drugs and fraudulent marketing, is intended to protect the public from unsafe or mislabeled products by setting forth federal labeling requirements." [10] In 1990, Congress passed the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA), [11] which amended the FFDCA to prescribe nutrition labeling and branding for foods, including multi-juice beverages. [12] "[T]he NLEA addressed the issue of when consumers may be led to believe that a named juice is present in a beverage more than is actually the case." [13]
A wrinkle complicating the interplay between the FFDCA and the Lanham Act is that the FFDCA can only be enforced by the FDA or the Department of Justice—not by private litigants. [14] "This special consideration has led courts to tread carefully when applying the Lanham Act to the advertising of goods. . . that are also subject to regulation by the FDCA lest it be used as a vehicle to accomplish indirectly something a party could not accomplish directly." [15] On the other hand, the fact that something is regulated by the FDA does not automatically bar a claim of fraud under another federal statute, including the Lanham Act. [16] The inquiry turns on whether courts are required to interpret and apply FDA regulations in adjudicating a Lanham Act violation. [17] The two laws' overlapping jurisdiction was ripe for Supreme Court review, and Pom provided the ideal test case.
The Justices weigh in
An eight-judge panel for the Supreme Court heard oral argument from Pom, Coke, and the United States government on April 21. (Justice Stephen Breyer did not participate.) Pom argued that juice labels consistent with FDA requirement "do not represent a pronouncement that for all purposes, for all statutes, the name on -- the name ascribed to the product is okay" because, in fact, "[w]hat the FDA doesn't do. . . is regulate or interpret . . . what kinds of things are going to so mislead consumers that they think there is going to be a substitute in the marketplace where there isn't." [18] Coca-Cola responded that by disclosing that Pomegranate Blueberry is a "flavored blend of five juices," it complied with the NLEA's naming requirements, which Congress intended would create "national uniformity" in juice labeling by preempting claims like Pom's. [19]
The panel seemed troubled by Coke's position that compliance with FDA labeling rules should immunize companies from liability for mislabeling or falsely advertising their product. Justice Anthony Kennedy asked Coke if "you want us to write an opinion that said that Congress enacted a statutory scheme because it intended that no matter how misleading or how deceptive a label it is, if it passes the FDA. . . there can be no liability." [20] "I think it's relevant for us to ask whether people are cheated in buying this product," he added. [21]
Justices Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg expressed their concern that the FDA cannot, for lack of resources, police and prioritize review of juice drink labeling. "In the real world, the FDA has a tremendous amount of things on its plate, and labels for juices are not really high on its list," Justice Ginsburg said. [22] She continued: "You are asking us to take what it has said about juice as blessing this label, saying it's not misbranding, when its regulations aren't reviewed by the Court, when there is no private right of action, and say that that overtakes the Lanham Act. It's it's [sic] really very hard to conceive that Congress would have done that." [23] Justice Kennedy likewise doubted that "FDA has sufficient resources to police food and beverage labeling. . . . And this is relevant because we want to see what the likely intention of Congress was with reference to these two statutes," i.e., the Lanham Act and the FFDCA. [24]
Reading the tea leaves
Where the court lands is anybody's guess, though the panel seemed reluctant to give FDA jurisdiction over beverage labeling the preclusive effect for which Coke advocated. One way or another, Pom will shed light on whether adherence to federal labeling requirements, without more, can shield the label's maker from liability for alleged mislabeling. K&L Gates will report on further developments as they unfold.
[2] The Lanham Act was passed primarily to protect commercial interests. "A competitor in a Lanham Act suit does not act as a vicarious avenger of the public's right to be protected against false advertising. Instead, the statute provides a private remedy to a commercial plaintiff who meets the burden of proving that its commercial interests have been harmed by a competitor's false advertising."

So i've really noticed lately that a huge number of comments on ign seem to be 1 of the following:
> Douchebag hater remarks from obviously jaded gamers/fans hell bent on having their opinion seen as the ONE AND ONLY viable opinion and if you don't share their views you are "fake and gay"
> Immature comments about someone being "SO HOT" or "I'D TAP THAT" ... umm you're on a gaming and entertainment site mate, is that really necessary? and c'mon .. you know you would tap anything that gave you time of day.
>Fan boys. The worst mankind has to offer, except maybe Hitler, and its a tight run for 1st place. Nuff said.
I'm just going to say that this stuff gets SOOO tiresome after awhile, now i'm pretty sure most of the people i know never go on like this in real life, so why is it okay to do it on the net? sure there is a sense of anonymity? anonynynymity?? nah .. anonymity? hmmm .. it'll do but i will say this, you may be anonymous you haters out there .. but you are anonymous douches that people are sick of.
PEACE out homies .. you keep it real now.

I am desperate for a new car, please help me win a New Chevy Sonic!!! LIKE my video to help me win. This car is awesome; 10 airbags, Bluetooth and SiriusXM radio, Motorcycle inspired exterior and interior design, and the 1.4 turbo engine makes this an awesome car to zip around in! I love the spacious trunk area that increases when you easily lay the back seats down. Leather interior, heated seats, and a sunroof in the all-new affordable car from Chevy makes this Sonic a no-brainer for my next vehicle. My engine light just went on in my car indicating apparently the transmission is failing, and I was just told to get the suspension and brakes fixed...SO, this is perfect timing! Please help me, I am in desperate need of a new car!!! Thank you!!!

Budget Deficits and Economic Growth
This paper investigates the sustainability and welfare effects of government budget deficits by using a simple endogenous growth model with overlapping generations. It is shown that, if the initial volume of government debt and the ratio of primary budget deficits to GDP are not large, then there can exist two steady-growth equilibria, one of which is associated with a higher growth rate and the other of which is associated with a lower growth rate. It is also shown that changes in government spending cannot be Pareto improving although they affect the long-run growth rate and each generation's utility.
