Simulating daylight by changing the colour temperature (Tunable White): lighting which is based on daylight noticeably promotes our performance curve. The Jung KNX / DALI gateway TW forms the interface for controlling DALI Tunable White luminaires and other DALI luminaires in a KNX installation. The colour temperature and brightness can thus be set independently or combined if required. The behaviour of an incandescent lamp can for example be readjusted by dimming down the colour temperature in warmer areas and dimming it up in colder areas. It is the first KNX device to offer this functionality to such an extent.

With the QtKnx library, you can integrate different functionalities (e.g. speech recognition) and technologies (e. g. BLE) allowing you to switch on a light with just a few lines of code. Based on C++, there are no limitations to hardware, software or operating systems. At Light + Building 2018, we will demonstrate a client implementation on how to control the lights in your home by using KNX as the communication protocol between the control board and lights.

The leak sensor from JUNG detects leaks before they can cause major damage. Therefore the sensor must be simply connected with a 2-core cable to KNX push button interfaces and installed directly under baths, shower trays, washing machines, kitchen cabinets or boilers. If unwanted water escapes, the device signals it immediately and shuts off the water supply. The leak sensor therefore offers a high level of protection against water damage, saving time, money and your nerves. In Switzerland exclusively available from ZidaTech.

If you are looking for a price-optimised solution for single room regulation, then the KNX push button with room temperature sensor is the best choice. To measure the temperature in the living room, a feeler cable or an external temperature sensor can be attached to the KNX push-button at any time. Therefore the costs for expensive KNX room temperature sensors are dispensed with. If the temperature sensor is attached outside the KNX push button, the push button is also not influenced by the dissipated heat of the LEDs. The room temperature sensor can be mounted to save space on the wall and is programmed occurs via ETS. Contact: www.zidatech.ch

Colebrook gunpowder trial heading to juryBy BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader
October 22. 2013 8:14PM
LANCASTER — The jury is set to begin deliberations today in the manslaughter and negligent homicide trial of the former owner of a Colebrook gunpowder manufacturing plant where a powerful explosion in the spring of 2010 left two workers dead.
Mark Sisti, the attorney for Craig Sanborn, the Maidstone, Vt., man who owned the plant when it was destroyed in the explosion and fire, rested his case mid-afternoon Tuesday in Coos County Superior Court.
Judge Peter H. Bornstein said Sisti and Coos County Attorney John McCormick would present their closing arguments starting at 9 a.m. today, and then the nine women and five men on the jury, including two alternates, would get the case, which entered its third week Monday.
Over the objection of Sisti who wanted McCormick to present a case of either manslaughter or negligent homicide in the deaths, Bornstein ruled that the jury would be able to consider all four charges.
"How can you convict a guy of killing somebody twice?" Sisti argued.
While the state went through a multi-page witness list, the defense called only two people to testify, including Sanborn's wife, Lori Sanborn. Her husband did not take the stand.
Prosecutors say it was Craig Sanborn's negligence and failure to heed even the most basic safety precautions that created an extremely dangerous situation at the downtown Colebrook plant that had been operating only about a month when the blast occurred.
After firefighters spent hours combating the ensuing fire that day, investigators entered the badly damaged building and found the bodies of Donald Kendall, 56, of Colebrook and Jesse Kennett, 49, of Stratford. The two men had been running industrial mixing and grinding machines in the factory's production room prior to the first explosion.
Testifying via video from Concord Tuesday, New Hampshire Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Jennie Duval, who performed the autopsies, said the men suffered major traumatic injuries from the explosion, from flying debris, and from having their bodies thrown by the force of the blast. She said the fire that followed left their remains unrecognizable by visual means, and they were identified through medical records.
With the jury out of the courtroom earlier, Duval said toxicology tests revealed that Kennett had a blood-alcohol level of .11, "a little bit more" she said, than the .08 legal New Hampshire limit for driving.
Sisti and McCormick argued for and against, respectively, allowing jurors to hear that evidence. Sisti wanted to establish that Kennett's alcohol level "cannot be eliminated as a cause of some type of problem" in the plant the day of the explosion, and Bornstein allowed him that question.
With the video screen placed facing the jury, Duval said she could not rule that out.

More Americans than forecast submitted claims for unemployment insurance last week as superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the job market.
Applications for jobless benefits surged by 78,000 to 439,000 in the week ended Nov. 10, the most since April 2011, the Labor Department said today in Washington. Several states said the increase was due to the storm that hit the Northeastern part of the U.S. in late October, a Labor Department spokesman said as the data were released to the press.
The extent of the damage means it may take weeks for the underlying trend in firings to again become clear. Before the storm, the labor market was gaining momentum even as year-end domestic fiscal policy uncertainties raised concern among businesses.
"At least a few state labor offices were shut in the prior week so it's almost as if you have two weeks of claims in one," said Ryan Wang, an economist at HSBC Securities USA Inc. in New York. "You have a double whammy this week, where people were filing claims they were unable to previously and individuals unable to work for the storm were filing additional claims."
Stock-index futures dropped after the report, erasing earlier gains. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in December fell 0.1 percent to 1,351.80 at 8:59 a.m. in New York.
Sandy struck the Northeast region, including New York and New Jersey, as it came ashore Oct. 29, and those who lost their jobs because the storm shuttered businesses may keep filing claims in coming weeks.
Sandy's Impact
The Labor Department spokesman did not name the affected states, citing agency policy not to single out any one area. Today's report showed a loss of electricity prevented New York offices from taking claims two weeks ago.
In addition, since Monday was a government holiday, three states and territories -- Hawaii, Oregon and Puerto Rico -- didn't report claims data, causing the Labor Department to estimate their totals, the spokesman said. Two others, California and Virginia, provided their own estimates.
Claims were projected to rise to 375,000 from the prior week, according to the median estimate of 49 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Projections ranged from 340,000 to 475,000. The prior week's reading was revised up to 361,000 from an originally reported 355,000.

Audio: Same Prompt Repeats Multiple Times
From DocWiki
Revision as of 18:48, 18 December 2009 by Docwikibot (Talk | contribs)
Same Prompt Repeats Multiple Times
|Problem Summary
|Same Prompt Repeats Multiple Times
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|When using ASR/TTS, this symptom is caused when the gateway cannot connect to the ASR or TTS server.
|Recommended Action
|In Operations Console > Call Server > IVR tab there is a field called Number of tries for ASR/TTS server. The default is zero. If the gateway cannot connect to the ASR or TTS server, the value configured determines the number of times it tries to connect. When that happens, the prompt repeats on each subsequent try. Also, on the gateway the customer can specify a backup ASR/TTS server (look for "ip host asr-en-us-backup" or "tts-en-us-backup" in the gateway 'show run' config). If specified, the gateway tries the backup server it uses the value configured to determine the number of times it tries to connect. The end result is a condition where the caller hears the prompt repeat if the value is greater than zero. The solution is to resolve the connection to the ASR/TTS server.
