1 Spherical engine/generator-unit can boost electrical car dynamics Automobile: Cars run singely on battaries have a range of approx. 150 km. Electrical cars with "range-extender" have the same range as today's conventional cars. These days there is a talk about a gasoline engine / generator unit which is based on a novel spherical engine integrated with an electrical engine. Die Huettlin-spherical-engine is great because it is compact, very light and the operation takes place without any gear-box and differential. It has high specific power and consumes less fuel. By the end of the year the motor should have reached a mature status so it can be planted into a electrical car of a car manufacturer. VDI nachrichten (German society of engineers news), Lucerne, Switzerland 15 july 2011, wop The conventional piston engine with crank shaft, piston rod and piston has always been dominating the field of combustion engines. Only german Felix Wankel was successful temporarily to penetrate the domain of conventional upstroke piston engines with his genuine rotary piston engine. Eventually he failed because there was a mismatch between stroke (displacement) and inner diametre. Because the conventional piston engine was successful over time reducing consumption and meeting lower exhaust limits and increasing power at the same time any new concept face very high requirements to push through. Now there is a new proposal from inventor and manufacturer Herbert Huettlin who creates public attention when it comes to fuel consumption, emissions and specific power. His "spherical engine" certainly does not exist free-of stroke piston engine, but is composed free-of crank shaft, piston rod and valves. The engine is first of all a counter piston four-stroke engine, the opening stroke like the conventional counter piston two-stroke-engine is created through two counter acting pistons. Thus pistons make relatively short strokes. Without that the system would not be possible. The sperical engine of Huettlin is the first experiment ever to operate a four-stroke engine as counter acting pistons. Due to short piston stroke it is possible to mandate curvy pistons through a curvy way inside the sphere as opposed to conventional crank shaft and piston rod. A fixed curvy orbital channel is created within the sphere, let us say on the inside wall of the sphere. Within the curvy channel two groups of pistons move. Each is mandated through the curvy way through a hollow sphere made of titan. Apart from that the two swinging pistons are connected through a central axis moving with them and thus form two groups of connected pistons. In history there were several attempts to replace crank shaft and piston rod and to directly link pistons moving in a curvy way, linking them to the drive shaft. Nobody superseded idea and experimental stage - yet Huettlin.
2 translation: Kurvenglied (statisch fest mit dem Gehaeuse verbunden): curvy orbital channel (fixed from inside to the inner wall of spherical housing) Brennraum 1: combustion chamber 1 Zentrallager der Twinkolben: central bearing of twin pistons Schwenkachse beider Twinkolben: pivoting axis of the two twin pistons Rotor: rotor Stator: stator Kolbenfuehrungskugeln: guiding spheres to guide the pistons in their curvy orbital way Twinkolben: twin pistons Brennraum: combustion chamber Rotationsachse des Kolbenrotors mit den beiden Twinkolben: rotation axis of piston rotor with the two twin pisons In comparison to conventional engine where crank shaft is oriented alongside the engine and pistons stand in row, the Huettlin engine rotates crosswise. The change of gas and the connection to spark plug is made by a round opening for each combustion chamber in the space of top dead center of the curvy orbital channel of the piston rotor. Through this design mixture generation should be more intensive and homogeneous compared to the conventional motor. The curvy pistons do not touch the cylinder wall due to exact mandation through the titanal spheres guiding the pistons. The sealing is made of conventional piston rings. Huettlin has created an electrical engine around the combustion engine. The very flat permanent
3 magnetic motor is turning with and around the piston groups. It is possible to make mechanical drive only so the inventor of the engines says but the focus is on using the spherical engine as a range-extender for elecrical cars. Citing him: "We want to operate the car electrically but the power for this comes from the spherical combustion engine." The pre-serial prototype makes 74 kw at max min-1 with double turbo-charging. It generates 140 Nm to 290 Nm torque, Huettlin explains in the conversation with VDI (german society for engineers news). The prototype has 1,18 l cubic capacity - lifting stroke 82 mm (2 times 41 mm), piston diametre is 90 mm, compression is 10,5 : 1. Because of the power density the engine is cooled with water from outside, from inside with oil. The Huettlin-spherical engine is currently operating with suction tube injection. Direct injection and diesel variant is currently worked upon. Only through reduction of friction by about 40% and through optimal combustion Dr. Huettlin is counting on significant reduction of consumption compared to a conventional four cylinder motor: "25% less consumption is a realistic figure.". The weight of the engine is relatively light because it has fewer parts. It is only 62 kg. The conventional motor has 240 parts counting without screws and sealings. The spherical engine consists of only 63 parts. Rating of exhaust has not been carried-out yet due to the stage of development. But the composition of the exhaust gas should not be much different from conventional gasoline engine. To realise Dr. Huettlin's idea a group of swiss businessmen have built a company together with him. In 1998 the company Innomot AG was founded in St. Erhard, close to Lucerne Switzerland. Target of the company is to sell licences for Huettlin-spherical-engine worldwide basing on the worldwide patents of Dr. Huettlin. The german company with the name Innojet Herbert Huettlin is constantly receiving orders from Innomot AG to develop the spherical engine. The group does not want to enter into serial production. The profit should be made through worldwide sales of the licence. The spherical engine with integrated generator to be operated as range-extender is a promising variant. This has also been shown by recent talks of the group with car manufacturers who develop electrical cars. One big company may fall prey to the benefits: compact design, combined design of combustion engine and electrical engine, light weight, operation without crank shaft and differential. About at the end of the year according to Dr. Huettlin a prototype should be implanted into an electrical car of a car manufacturer. "Though optimisation continues.", the inventor says. The dilemma of the range-extender currently is, there are many suggestions how to design them. But as the Huettlin-spherical-engine can be used as compressor, too it could reach serial stage even
4 there. Authors: C. BARTSCH/W. PESTER Huettlin-spherical-engine (in german: Hüttlin-Kugelmotor) A piston rotor turns inside two big ring bearings of a spherical shaped housing made of aluminium The piston rotor equally made of aluminium has two cylindric bow form hollow spaces for the housing of two "twin pistons" The twin pistons roll with two hollow guiding spheres made of highly durable titan on orthogonal-longside centered curvy orbital channels, those channels guiding the two pistons, the channels are system-centered and bond to the housing. Film ansehen/downloaden Through the guided twin pistons combustion space is created back and forth, pistons move counter or apart. The four strokes exactly comply to Nikolaus Otto and Rudolf Diesel. Per turn within 360 degrees two effective firing strokes are created, so like the 4-stroke Ottomotor equipped with four cylinders Intake and exhaust for both combustion chambers is located face sides of the spherical housing through round openings One opening is face side. One co-axial in the piston rotor rotating above the other opening face side. Rotating also over the compression area, explosion area, exhaust area and eventually over the neutral opening for gas exchang for fresh mixture intake. Film ansehen/downloaden The opening for gas exchange is equipped with a simple ring-form sealing made of special alloy. The piston rotor in the inner of the spherical housing is rotating around the main axis. The
5 two twin pistons connected to each other, they are guided by the two hollow titanal spheres on the orbital channel fixed to the inner wall of the sphere. They swing back and forth continuously connected to each other by their connecting axis. The curvy orbital channel compares to a sinus-curve in transacted form. There are above and below the zero line two wave mountains and two wave valleys for each channel, back and forth for the combustion chamber they mean top dead center (tdc) and bottom dead center (bdc). The ring-form electrical Rotor of the generator (permanent magnet) is connected to the rotary piston. The stator of the generator is placed with very little distance to it and statically fixed to the spherical housing. It shows a number of field windings. Film ansehen/downloaden The two exhaust and fresh intake openings on the two face sides of the housing skrewd together form a unit. WOP Dr. h. c. Herbert Huettlin Is founder, CEO and sole owner of international comapany Innojet Herbert Huettlin in Steinen, close to Loerrach in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg with its capital city Stuttgart. The entrepreneur is well known in the industry of pharmaceutical production machines with several innovations and dedicated machines for medicine production. He has more than 150 patents which are patented or applied for patent in 10 to 25 countries each, mostly the patents are in practical use. Since 1991 the educated flow engineer works on development of more efficient combustion engines. The patented designs lead to the realisation and making of the prototype of the spherical engine (in german: Kugelmotor) from inside his Technology company. Dr. Huettlin is majority shareholder and president of the board of Innomot AG, St. Erhard, Switzerland. Innomot distributes the licences of the patents specific to the novel engine. Dr. Huettlin (67 years) worked with Albert-Ludwigs-University in city of Freiburg on Breisgau for many years in the fields of pharmaceutical technology and Biopharmacy. The departments lead by Prof. Bauer and later Prof. Schubert. For his life contributions in the field of pharmaceutical technology he has gained many honours and awards worldwide. WOP

Two American cardinals are absent from the USCCB meeting. cardinal Sean O'Malley is in Dublin, where he is beginning his apostolic visitation of that archdiocese. He celebrated Mass yesterday at St. Mary's pro-Cathedral in Dublin.
Also absent is Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, but I have not found out why he is not here in Baltimore.
Cardinal-designate Donald Wuerl is present, but is expected to leave the meeting Tuesday afternoon to fly to Rome with some 200 pilgrims from Washington for the consistory at week's end when Wuerl will be created a cardinal.
As Wuerl walked through the hall outside the ballroom where the meeting takes place he was warmly greeted by his brother bishops. Wuerl has long been a key player in the USCCB and is well respected by the body.

Strategic renewal and competitive advantage in opportunity-driven and conservative new ventures

Strategic renewal has received relatively little attention in the context of new ventures. We examine the relationship among strategic renewal, competitive advantage and performance in opportunity-driven and conservative new ventures. Based on longitudinal data of a random sample of almost 373 new ventures, the link between strategic renewal and performance can be better understood by adding the mediating role of competitive advantage. Our results indicate that increased levels of strategic renewal positively relate to competitive advantage in conservative ventures, but not in opportunity-driven ventures. These findings place a different perspective on the dominant view that entrepreneurs should be opportunity maximizers. It suggests that both conservative and opportunity-driven new ventures can be successful if they follow different paths of strategic renewal in shaping competitive advantage.

Leukemia Benefit for Chrysa Bratz
Stephanie Bratz Moore
Sunday, April 7, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 11:30 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Chrysa Wagenfehr Bratz was diagnosed with CLL, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in 2011. In 2012 doctors explained that a bone marrow transplant was necessary for a full recovery. Here we are in 2013 after much radiation, chemotherapy, and a second bone marrow transplant. The good news is she is now A+ blood type, when she started as A-. This is great news! It means the transplant is working (props for Dona, her sister who donatedJ.) Now we just need her to recover from all the nasty side effects that have come along with these treatments.
That being said, we are hosting a benefit to support and make donations for the Bratz family to get them through these tough times. There will be a huge party at Kicaster Country Store on April 7th, 2013 with bar-b-que plates, live music, auctions, and plenty of fun activities for the kids. All proceeds will go to the family to help with medical bills, deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions, and other out-of-pocket expenses like gas to and from the hospital each day. Show your support by attending the event and also sending thoughts and prayers. If you are unable to attend, you can contribute through this eventbrite.com page. My personal goal is to raise at least $1000 through this website. Every little bit helps, so donate now!

This is the 64th article in the Spotlight on IT series. If you'd be interested in writing an article on the subject of backup, security, storage, virtualization, mobile, networking, wireless, DNS or MSPs for the series PM Eric to get started.
The story you are about to read is true. There was no need to change the names to protect the innocent. My name is not Friday, and I carry no badge. But, like many others, I am IT.
Thursday, April 12 – 11 a.m.
Today is the first day back after a week's vacation, and the ERP system is acting up all of the sudden. A couple of server reboots later, I close that ticket. Once the database server reboots, I notice two different drives are predicted to fail soon. The HP utility on my server confirms they will fail soon. The databases on this server contain the very lifeblood of the company and cannot afford to be offline if at all avoidable. So, I order a couple of replacement drives (15K SAS, hot swap, just like the ones in the server) to be delivered the next day.
Friday, April 13 – 10 a.m.
The drives arrive as planned. The one in my direct attached MSA 70 is a no-brainer. I replace it, and the drive gets rebuilt because it is part of a RAID 1+0 array. It's a cakewalk.
And then it happens. That sinking feeling overtakes my stomach. I begin to sweat. I want to scream, but it won't do any good. Maybe if I punch someone, I will feel better. Time slows down. I come to the shocking realization that the second drive that needs to be replaced is one of two drives that were setup in a RAID 0 array. And to make matters worse, this particular logical drive contains the OS partition. Call it oversight. Call it a stupid decision on the part of someone. Call it whatever you want, but it is… reality.
Sometimes in IT we inherit things that were not initially set up the best way. This was one of those configurations I inherited. I tell my boss, and he's adamant the array can't be RAID 0.
"I assure you it can, and it is, Mr. Boss Man."
He thinks it over, lets the truth and severity of the situation sink in, and says, "You got this?"
I give him the affirmative nod. Sure I do. I'm not a SQL DBA. I've never rebuilt a SQL Server, but I'd figure it out — somehow.
Next, I do what any good IT pro would do when faced with a task like this: I look at my DR plan for this server. But, since our department has no DR plan for this server (oops), I do the only logical thing left to do at this point: I tap the Spiceworks Community for advice.
2 p.m.
I have the drives I need ordered and set to arrive on Saturday and keep the one ordered the previous day as a hot spare. At this point I've coordinated with production and found myself a very large window of server maintenance time for Sunday afternoon. The plan is to image the problem partition and try to restore it on a shiny new RAID 1 array.
Saturday, April 14 – 11 p.m.
I'm thinking about what I might need for the next day's surgery. As I inspect my SQL Server, I realize there are several DBs with MDFs and LDFs stored on the OS partition (more good news). I back them up one by one. I think about it, and I go ahead and start the Server 2008 R2 install media download from Microsoft's Licensing Portal — just in case. As always, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Sunday, April 15 – 12:30 p.m. (8.5 hours until production starts)
Sunday afternoon arrives. I back up a few other files on the C-drive, and it's go time. I start to image with Symantec Ghost to an external drive. The RAID 0 partition is only 146 GB in size. After 30 minutes, I see the write speed get slower and slower because I may quite possibly be using THE slowest external hard drive ever made by Western Digital. At this point, the end time is predicted to be about nine hours later. I have other external drives I could try, but they're all the same speed. It's gut-check time. I could let the imaging process run for the nine-and-a-half hours, but what guarantee do I have it would restore properly after taking the image? Could some free imaging program like Clonezilla have run faster? I'm not sure but don't have time to play around.
2 p.m. (7 hours until production)
At this point I make the decision to attempt to beat the clock. The server was built nearly four years ago, so why not start fresh? I decide I can put in the new drives, create a RAID 1 partition, re-install the OS and SQL Server, and have the server back to the way it was in about seven hours. Production won't miss a beat. Even if I don't finish, I'll be better off than waiting on the image to finish and essentially accomplishing nothing.
I power down the server, remove the two drives, put the new ones in place, and then I'm set to configure RAID. It turns out my only configuration options are RAID 0 (not an option), RAID 5 (only have two drives that are the same size to use and don't want to kill a puppy), and RAID 1+0. RAID 1 isn't an option. How can you have RAID 1+0 with two drives and not at least four? It turns out the RAID 1+0 option is just RAID 1 when you have two drives. (It may be common sense to some, but thank you SAM for answering that question quickly.)
3 p.m. (6 hours until production)
After RAID is configured, I install Server 2008 on my new RAID 1 partition with no issues (after hunting for and finding the correct license key). Then it's time to install SQL Server 2005, and I can't find the media. I wish I was joking. I text my boss after tearing the server room apart, and he's sure we have it… somewhere. Maybe we do, but it's not anywhere we usually store software media. It isn't stored on our file server.
4 p.m. (5 hours until production)
I login to the MS licensing portal and look for SQL 2005 so I can download it, but they only have the 32-bit version in Japanese and not English. I'm feeling like it's just not my day. Why did I come back from vacation again? Call me crazy, but I double and triple checked the SQL version. I decide to go ahead and download it. The download files are huge because I need SP4 since that is what we have installed. Now I'm faced with sitting to watch the download on a 4.5Mb bonded T1. I take a deep breath and think of one more place the media might be.
Finally, I find everything I need in the Downloads folder of my work laptop. Turns out, I had downloaded it at least a year ago to create a test environment for my boss to do some ERP system testing. I feel a rush of relief. Maybe I'll get it all fixed before production runs tonight.
5:30 p.m. (3.5 hours until production)
I install SQL 2005 and upgrade to SP4. I restore all my user/system databases using Backup Exec, but I can't restore the master database with Backup Exec. That has to be done on the server itself with a SQL backup because you have to kill all but one administrative connection to the master database. At this point I realize I didn't back up the master database with SQL — just Backup Exec. I have to shut down the server and put my old drives back in again to get SQL backups of all my system databases. Then I put the new drives back in and keep going. I still can't restore the master database. I've missed something.
7 p.m. (2 hours until production)
Turns out I've named the instance of SQL on my newly rebuilt server something different than it should be for all remote connections to my databases to work. I have to detach all databases and re-install SQL using the default instance name. At this point, I re-attach the user databases, and I can connect to them all remotely. My ERP system still won't connect to its database, and I still can't restore my backup of the master database (despite restoring all other system databases successfully).
8:30 p.m. (Production starts in 30 minutes)
I'm clueless, even with Google's help. I'm frustrated. I decide it's best to turn back the clock to the old RAID 0 configuration so production can run. Even if that dying drive croaks before the next weekend, I've built 90 percent of a new server.
The boss is happy we at least made progress. I document everything I've done in the help desk ticket I had open for this issue, including a list of what still needs to be done. I go home late in the evening to see my family.
The next week
The dying drive survives all week (thanks to the good Lord), but I can't sleep well at nights thinking about what might happen if she goes down. I keep thinking about what work is left to do. I decide to finish the job Saturday night after production finishes. My window is nearly 24 hours, and I plan to conquer this time.
Saturday, April 21 – 11:15 p.m.
I get the call that the last production guy has left for the night. I back up all the databases with SQL and Backup Exec. I start back with my new configuration and a restore of the system databases. Thanks to Google, I got them all restored and even moved their MDF and LDF files off the C-drive (now stored on my MSA 70 with RAID 10) as a best practice. I restore the user databases and make sure all MDFs and LDFs for those databases are stored on the MSA 70 as well. I can connect to the databases remotely. My ERP system works. Our intranet site that pulls from user databases works. The SQL Maintenance Plan we had in place to back up the ERP system database works. After teaming the NICs on the server and testing again, I back up my databases again with Backup Exec and the system databases with SQL backups.
Sunday, April 22 – 3:56 a.m.
I send out a company blast that everything is up and running again. I take the time to document all the remaining steps needed to rebuild the server successfully, and I go home to sleep… finally.
In summary
I learned so many things by completing this project. This is an example of an experience I hope you never have, but I know it happens. Even though I didn't set up this server initially, I had to fix it, and the fact that I had almost no experience doing something like that for a SQL box and no DR plan to guide me translates to about 400–500 percent of the time that should have been spent on such an exercise. On the bright side, I now have a disaster recovery plan for this server. It's all in that help desk ticket because I wrote it on the fly, and it didn't take very much effort.
Sometimes disaster recovery planning gets marked as the lowest priority — until disaster strikes. Hopefully you won't find yourself in the same boat. If you build it, build it with best practices in mind the first time, or you or someone else will get to build it again.
I want to thank everyone who replied to the following threads. You did indeed save my butt.

Ah yes, that sinking and sweaty feeling... I think any serious IT Admin has felt that before. Those all-nighters are no fun under pressure. Thanks for sharing!

I can sympathize, it's how I learned a lot over the last decade, and of course have recently gone to work at a place with nothing but those kinds of setups.
Well done! Take the cape off and go on another vacation.
Jun 7, 2012 at 1:08 UTC
Glad you survived in the end and were up & running.
Agreed. You need to book your next vacation.
Jun 7, 2012 at 1:08 UTC
Great write up. Are you planning to share your DR plan?

A great story from an (almost) terrible situation!
There might be something to that DR-as-a-service after all...
Jun 7, 2012 at 1:09 UTC
Great writeup! I need to finish the details on my DR plan, then test it. This gives me that kick in the ass I need to get r dun.
I too would like to see your notes on SQL. I am running SQL 2008 that supports a small (very small, almost to the point it's overkill) accounting system with 4 users.
And you SAY that you carry no badge, but I say you carry The Badge of Courage.

This is how you learn. Just look at your knowledge-base after this one single issue. It's issues like this that give you a physical since of accomplishment that often lacks in IT. Congrats!

I come to the shocking realization that the second drive that needs to be replaced is one of two drives that were setup in a RAID 0 array.
Reading this made me physically panic and check the arrangement of my array(thankfully still RAID 1). I've read horror novels less scary than that!
Jun 7, 2012 at 1:11 UTC
Thanks for sharing. I am in a similar boat as you - the old IT admin setup a lot of things his way and we are going through and changing things to a more uniform way. This has proven to be unbelievably frustrating. However I am learning so much so it is beneficial as well.

Nicely Done, I hope your boss appreciates the work you did. I would use this to present to my boss why you should be virtual so you can avoid this type of issue in the future.

Nice work.
I had something similar though I was able to restore from the backup image to replacement drives using Acronis Backup and Recovery.

Dude, this was THE best suspense/thriller read ive had in a while!!! I know that feeling, allnighters under pressure and a huge question mark are never good. But the sleep you get after all is said and done feels awesome!!!
Jun 7, 2012 at 1:23 UTC
What a riveting thrill ride. Every IT pro knows what "that feeling in your stomach" feels like. That's the feeling of knowing that you have the weight of the world on your shoulders because you're the only one in the building that can fix the problem. I wish anyone who bitched about IT guys making too much money could take a drug that gave them the "stomach pit" feeling. It's the most miserable feeling in the world and I don't wish it on anyone. Then comes the sweating and the people coming by your desk asking for by the minute play-by-play. I think the only things that top this is landing a plane with no engines in the Hudson or being a surgeon and you're losing a patient on the table. Data loss could destroy a company and with it lots of people's lives.
Then to top that off, you couldn't solve the problem within the maintenance window and had to attempt to get a good night's sleep which every IT pro who has been through this will tell you is not possible. I literally woke up in cold sweats and could feel my heart beating in my ears. Then impostor syndrome sets in: "What if I can't do this and we have to call someone?" "I'll look like I don't know what I'm doing and they'll fire me." But then we do what we always do. It's instinct. We put our heads down and crank up on all 12 cylinders. There is no more 9 to 5, the wife gets promised a steak dinner and a back rub when all is said and done and even food and drink are in second place. Then we get it done and all of our fears end up being unfounded.
I think you did a good job of capturing the moments and reminding us what's involved in an on-the-fly DR scenario.

The Morinville Fire Department is issuing a fire ban which prohibits open burning, fireworks, back yard fire pits, cooking stoves in parks and BBQs using solid fuels.
With the prolonged hot, dry and windy conditions, and taking into consideration the Fire Weather Index, which has categorized our area as extreme, it has been determined that we take the necessary precautions to keep our citizens safe.
The ban will remain in effect until further notice. The Morinville Fire Department will continue to monitor conditions and the Fire Weather Index to determine the extent of the fire ban. Anyone who does not comply with the terms of the ban may be subject to the fines and charges set out by the town's Fire Service Bylaw, Schedule A. This may also include covering costs for emergency services.

With all this devastation going on in Fort Mac, there's no way I can even think of having a fire right now! But I'm glad this has been issued.
I was thinking that too!
Please please be very careful with your cigarette butts and don't throw them out of the car while driving. On Tuesday I stomped out a small ditch fire thanks to s lovely guy driving on 2 and his butt.
