Svend Erik Knudsen Jensen
John Abrahamsen
Origin: WASHINGTON, DC US
IPC8 Class: AF16H2508FI
USPC Class:
An actuator comprising a reversible electric motor, which over a gearing,
drives an activation element which can move back and forth. The
activation element is of the non-self-locking type. Furthermore the motor

14. The actuator according to claim 1, wherein the generator voltage directly or as control signal adjusts an electromechanical brake for restricting the velocity of the motor.
[0001]The present invention relates to an actuator as stated in the
preamble of claim 1.
[0002]For the sake of convenience, the description of the invention departs from linear actuators of the type comprising a spindle, which over a gearing, is driven by an electric motor, and where the activation element is a tubular rod carried by a spindle nut. It is, however, to be understood that the invention also applies to rotary actuators for instance of the type dealt with in Wo 01/17401 A1 to Linak A/S
[0003]A quick release in an actuator is used for temporary interruption of the connection to the part of transmission with a high inertia and motor so that the activation element, which is of the non-self-locking type, under its load on its own momentary moves back to its initial position, alternatively can be adjusted manually. As an example of where a quick release is used, reference is made to hospital and care beds, patient lifters and certain types of gates, doors and windows and other constructions, where it is important if not vital to be able to make a momentary adjustment of the activation element.
[0004]Actuators with quick release are for instance known from EP 685 662 B1 and EP 577 541 B1 to Linak A/S. The first publication deals with a quick release based on two cylindrical elements wound with an disengageable clutch spring. The other publication deals with a quick release with two bevel gear wheels, where one gear wheel can be displaced out of engagement.
[0005]By quick releases there is, however, in many situations a risk that the construction, the load and the possible patient carried by the actuator may be damaged as a result of the collision-like impact which occurs when the activation element hits a mechanical end stop in the end position. That the collision is intense is due to the fact that the activation element under influence of the load executes an accelerated movement and typically into a more or less rigid mechanical stop.
[0006]A simple structure is, however, known from WO 98/30816 to Linak A/S, where the velocity can be controlled during the release of the quick release. This quick release is based on a clutch spring in the form of a coil spring, which rests tightly against a cylindrical element. By releasing the spring in a controlled manner it can be achieved that it is brought more or less out of engagement with the cylindrical element and thus controlling the velocity. The construction is as far as it goes fine, but it is voluminous, and has several components, and it can be difficult to control the velocity accurately.
[0007]The purpose of the invention is to provide an actuator with a simplified quick release with controlling of the velocity during the disengagement.
[0008]This is achieved according to the invention with an actuator as stated in claim 1. The invention simply departs from utilization of the fact that an electric motor acts as a generator when its rotor is driven around. For this purpose, the activation element, motor and gearing are of a non-self-locking type, so that these are brought to move as a result of the load on the activation element. For holding the activation element in any position under normal circumstances the actuator comprises a brake. Various types of brakes may be used--mechanically or electrically working. By releasing the brake the moveable elements of the actuator are set in motion, at which the motor will work as a generator. The electrical voltage, generator voltage, which arises by it and grows proportionally with the velocity, is used to control the velocity of the activation element. This can be done in various ways, for instance with an electrically activated brake. A particular simple way is, however, to load the motor by short-circuiting it. The load of the motor can be a fixed resistive or a PWM load. By short-circuiting it to a larger or lesser extent a larger or lesser velocity is achieved. For controlling when the braking should begin working, a small electrical circuit may be provided, which activates the braking when the generator voltages exceeds a certain level, for instance in the area of 28-34 volts. This limit can be determined by a transistor, for instance a FET in the circuit. It is understood that the activation element runs against an end stop at a predetermined velocity. It is noted that the velocity, however, can vary within certain limits depending on the specific circumstances. It is, however, also possible to change the velocity during the course by inserting a potentiometer in the circuit, so that the voltage and with it the velocity can be varied. A particular powerful braking effect can be obtained by not only short-circuiting the motor when certain conditions for velocity is fulfilled, but even applying a, compared to the generated voltage, negative voltage to the motor.
[0009]The invention will be explained more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
[0010]FIG. 1 shows a sectional view through a linear actuator,
[0011]FIG. 2 shows a threshold voltage for a motor brake,
[0012]FIG. 3 shows relation between the normal operating voltage and the motor brake voltage of the system,
[0013]FIG. 4 shows a threshold voltage for a motor brake, where the control is disengaged by means of a relay,
[0014]FIG. 5 shows an overview of an actuator system,
[0015]FIG. 6 shows an overview of an actuator system with supplementary relay,
[0016]FIG. 7 shows an example of an electrical structure of a motor brake system,
[0017]FIG. 8 shows an example of an electrical structure of a motor brake system with supplementary relay and
[0018]FIG. 9 shows the motor brake in various positions.
[0019]The actuator shown in FIG. 1 comprises a housing with a reversible low voltage DC-motor 1, which over a worm gear 2 drives a spindle 3. On the spindle is a spindle nut 4, to which an activation element 6 in the form of a tubular rod guided in an outer tube 5 is secured, said outer tube having one end embedded in the housing 7. By preventing the spindle from rotating, the activation element will be moved back and forth depending on the direction of rotation of the motor.
[0020]Motor, worm gear and spindle are non-self-locking, which means that a load on the activation element will as a result of the pressure on the spindle nut bring the spindle and with that the worm gear and also the rotor of the motor into rotation.
[0021]In order to hold the activation element in any position when the current for the motor is interrupted, the actuator is equipped with a brake 8 in the form of a coil spring, which is released with a release mechanism. When the brake is released, the activation element will, as already mentioned, be able to move freely. When the rotor of the motor is thus set in rotation it will work as a generator and by increasing velocity a continuously higher voltage will be generated. This voltage will have opposite polarity compared to the voltage applied to the motor in order to move the activation element away from the initial position. That the motor works as generator is used for controlling the velocity of the activation element.
[0022]The controlling can be brought about in various ways, either directly by using the generated voltage or by using changes in the internal parameters of the motor.
[0023]An embodiment is shown in FIG. 5 where the associated electrical diagrams are shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. Here, a circuit from for instance 50V operates. This means that as long as the actuator is running at voltages under 50V, the actuator can run as usual. However, it is a condition that the control box does not short-circuit the motor when not active. The attention is here focused on the fact that the generator voltage appears in that the activation element is moved back towards the initial position, for which reason the generated voltage has negative polarity compared to the voltage which drove the activation element forth. An example of an electrical circuit for this purpose is shown in FIG. 7. An applied motor voltage with positive polarity on terminal clamp M2 compared to M1 will cause the motor to move the activation element in one direction. It is here assumed that our movement will move the activation element in such a way that it, in a bed, will correspond to that a part of the bed construction is raised and with that carries a load. When the voltage is interrupted the activation element will be locked in the position by a brake. If the brake is released the activation element will, because of the design of the actuator with a non-self-locking spindle and a high degree of efficiency of gear and motor and the raised load, begin its travel back towards the initial position. The motor will work as generator and the generated voltage will be positive seen from M1 compared with M2. The velocity of the motor will increase as the system is not suppressed and this will cause the generator voltage to rise. When the generator voltage reaches a predetermined threshold, the circuit will intervene and limit the number of rotations by working as a load on the generator. Practically, this occurs in that the transistor, here shown as a FET, short-circuits the motor when the threshold voltage of the Zener diode is exceeded. This will work as an adjustment of the velocity.
[0024]Another embodiment shown in FIG. 6, is equipped with a relay. When resting, the absorber circuit is connected to the motor. The relay coil hangs directly over the actuator connection, so that when the channel is activated the absorber circuit is deactivated and the motor is coupled to the channel. In this embodiment the control is allowed to short-circuit the clamps M1 and M2, as these in reality are interrupted when the motor is not driven by the control. It is noted that the electrical circuit shown in FIG. 8 in principle is identical to the circuit shown in FIG. 7 but with addition of the relay. Here, the threshold voltage for activating the motor braking function may be chosen freely since there is no coupling to the voltage level of the control box. This means that the circuit, here, can be freely implemented without consideration for the control box and in principle in the simplest form consist of a short-circuit or a permanent resistive load, to more intelligent solutions as for instance the one shown. FIG. 4 shows a diagram where a threshold voltage for braking is chosen for a lower value than the operating voltage of the motor.
[0025]In a variant shown in FIG. 9, the absorber electronics are moved from being physically located inside the actuator to being physically located in the control box. In principle it is the same, simply with another location. It still works in a no-current state. At the same time the figure shows the original embodiment where the absorber electronics are located in the actuator.
[0026]As a further development of the motor brake an intelligent system is revealed, but not illustrated, where the position determination system of the actuator is used to provide a more precise controlling of the velocity of the activation element in a situation where the brake is released. At least one Reed switch or at least one Hall element is typically used in an actuator to determine the number of rotations of the motor from a given position, typically an end stop. This number of rotations can be transformed into a position of the activation element, as the pitch of the spindle is known in proportion to rotations. If, for instance, a microprocessor is used to determine the position of the activation element, an extension to the programme may be made, which provides an expression for the velocity of the motor. This velocity can be used to calculate how much load the generator should be terminated with in order to control the velocity. The microprocessor can then directly control a FET and in that way create a dynamic load, which precisely adjusts the velocity. To avoid power dissipation in the electronics the transistor can be controlled from the microprocessor by means of a pulse-width modulated signal. In a solution without a microprocessor the corresponding applies that the control signal can be converted into a digital signal by means of a Smith trigger structure and thus minimize the power dissipation in the adjustment transistor. In that way the duty cycle of the signal will determine the proportion between the time where the generator is short-circuited and unloaded. If the information about the position of the activation element from the microprocessor is also used, a more powerful motor brake function can further be calculated and activated immediately before an end stop is reached in order to prevent that the collision between the activation element and end stop will be of destructive character. There is, thus, nothing to prevent the control simply, in order to brake further, from applying a voltage with opposite polarity of the voltage generated by the generator. This corresponds to that the control attempts to move the activation element in the opposite direction of the current direction of movement. This applied voltage, for powerful deceleration can be dynamic in the form of a variable voltage or pulse-width modulated.
[0027]In the invention is not excluded that the voltage of the generator is only used as a control signal, which means that the generator is not appreciable loaded, electrically seen. A control signal will be able to control an electromechanical brake, located in connection with the transmission and/or the motor, where this for instance dynamically or intermittently is brought to brake in order to control the velocity of the motor and activation element, respectively. Such a mechanical braking function can naturally be combined with an electrical motor braking function in the form of a loaded generator as previous described.
[0028]The term "microprocessor" used in the description covers any unit capable of meeting the requirements for data processing of the described process executed by the microprocessor mentioned in the description. That is to say a controller, PIC, AVR, RISC, HW based state-machine, ASIC or the like.

August 1996...
Thank you for clicking into The Bicycle Exchange. I hope this is the first of many visits to our site.
Why The Bicycle Exchange? Why Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania? Why an online magazine, or "zine?"
Tri-States Traveling
I am a traveling teacher by trade and I often stick my bike on my car before I leave home. I work mainly in West Virginia and Ohio and occasionally in Pennsylvania. I live in West Virginia, most of my relatives live in Pennsylvania, but I have quite a few good buddies in Ohio. When I want a taste of the big city I zip into Pennsylvania but every once in a while I go a little further north or west into Ohio. A couple of years ago I cranked out a long, homemade solo bike tour that took me--you guessed it--from West Virginia to Ohio to Pennsylvania to West Virginia. Last year I completed a good chunk of the Cardinal Trail bike route in Central and Eastern Ohio. One weekend last month I stayed and biked at a state park near Philadelphia on a trip to the New Jersey shore. The next weekend I knocked off The Great Ride tour of 12 neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. Just a couple of days ago I watched fishermen in waders and kids on inner tubes floating lazily along Wheeling Creek as a pedaled a pleasant 24-mile loop from my home. I'm looking forward to some great organized tours in the next two months, especially my personal favorite--the North East Ohio Century--where I get to chow on scrumptious homebaked cookies and high five little Amish kids as I pass through a gently rolling paradise. But today, I'm heading up to Lake Erie with my brother and nephew visiting from California. Up there we plan to bike across the Ohio-Pennsylvania line a time or two. And still on my back burner is a trip to the mountains down south in my beautiful Mountain State to see if the ole legs are what they used to be as I try to climb my way out of a "holler."
Get the picture? Big cities, small towns, rural pastures, or posh suburbs. City streets, town squares, one-lane covered bridges, and strip plaza freeways. Giant mountains, flat plains, valleys, and gently rolling foothills. Lakes, rivers, streams and creeks. These are all in the great states of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. These are were I live, work, visit, play and bike. And if you live in or nearby this region, it doesn't take many hours of traveling before you slip into a town or valley quite different from your own. To me this is part of the thrill of riding, whether solo or group, whether self-charted or fully supported. Had he been in his youth today perhaps Jack Kerouac would have written On the Road about a couple of restless beatnik bicyclists, soaking in bits and pieces of Americana at 10 miles per hour instead of 60. Ah, now that's the way to see this great land. And no finer view of America is available outside our region.
A 'Zine is Born!
That's why The Bicycle Exchange was created--to serve as a cyberspace information, entertainment, and market source for cyclists living in or visiting the tri-states. We hope that very soon we will have a "fat" online publication where you can:
- Live in Columbus and sell an excellent frame to someone in Cincinnati or Toledo who will never see your ad in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper
- Call from the Flats of Cleveland to a Bed and Breakfast in the mountains of West Virginia that welcomes bicyclists for the weekend
- Get details on a smaller, unique tour near Harrisburg while living in the heart of Pittsburgh
- Ask Andy the Mechanic a personal question about adjusting your new component group on your not-so-new bike
- Contribute you own writings, artwork, or photos for the delight of our visitors
- Speak out about an important cycling issue in "Cycle Surfer Mail"
We Need Your Help
Without your information and literary and artistic contributions, we won't be around for long. Without visitors and ads, we won't get sponsors, and we won't be around for long. We'd like to be around for real long, so check out our "Contribution Guidelines" section and see how your works can appear right here and be seen by thousands. Let us know about your club's upcoming events. Be a part of The Bicycle Exchange.
Family Affair
My brother, Pete, and I hope to bring you a quality online magazine. We're far from seasoned vets on the Net but we're learning in leaps and bounds. Our brother, Bill, a transplanted tri-state native and avid century cyclist, will also be contributing. From the Joyces and The Bicycle Exchange, we wish you guys, y'all, and yunz many an excellent ride. And, go break a leg--I mean spoke--I mean...just forget it!

Update, March 1998...
Ah, I have just bid a sad farewell to by beloved, adopted city and state of 11 fine years--Wheeling, West Virginia. A new job opportunity and upcoming marriage have led me an hour across the border to my native turf of Pennsylvania. I'm back at the doorstep of the great city of Pittsburgh, poised to take on urban life as I happily continue my teaching career and website duties. Here's to my old home! A toast to my new home! Though my travels lead me in different directions, a strange gravitational pull anchors me near the hub of my three favorite biking states.

March 1998
Another Update, July 2000...
Yes, we've survived and, in many ways, thrived during these four great years of existence in cyberspace. In that time, The Bicycle Exchange has collected a pocketful of awards and has grown from a trickle of visitors from our region to 13,000 unique visitors per month (of 50,000 impressions) from all over the world. Thousands of free classified ads have been posted as that section of our site has become the source of the majority of our site visits. Elsewhere, our most pleasant surprise (though we knew it all along) has become Andy Wallen's Ask the Mechanic column, which now fields 15-20 questions per week, and has become our most highly-visited page outside of the classifieds. Andy is an ace, a rare combination of wit, common sense, and abounding mechanic knowledge (better quit, don't want to inflate the guy's ego).
During this time, we've become as well known by the name of Bikexchange.com as by our official title, The Bicycle Exchange. This testifies for the general growth in strength and recognition of domain names.
In addition, we've remained diligent to maintaining seasonal and timely event and info links for our 3-state region, chiefly due to the efforts of my brother, Pete, who has also done bang-up work on periodic proofing and editing assignments.
We've published over 75 articles, many with action photos and graphics, and most of them appearing for the first time in print right here on this site. I've been especially proud to post well-accomplished writers, including several with published books and many who've frequently appeared in newspapers and magazines. We also have posted one National Catholic Press Award winner. Never mind he's my eldest brother, Bill, who wrote us an excellent narrative in the Winter 1999 Features (better quit on him, too, definitely don't want to inflate his ego).
We've had fun with our original cartoons and home-grown stuff for kids, though I admit we've been pretty lean on new stuff in these areas in the past two years.
...Which leads nicely into the purpose for "this here" update. It's great to be a "lean, mean, website machine" but, at some point, you've got to update, automate and invest to expand into the bigger leagues. In your personal life, you've got to have some free time to spend on matters other than your website hobby. And if you have a full-time, year-round teaching job which you love but which leaves you with very little free time--much less than in August 1996 when this webzine was launched--something has got to give.
This I why I am seeking a buyer for Bikexchange.com.
I'm hoping a new buyer can continue Bikexchange.com as a high-quality website or merge it with one of the many other respectable webzines that have an editorial, information, or free ads mission similar to ours. Piggybacking with or becoming a webzine partner to a commercial or retail site would also be helpful, as the actual sale of merchandise to new, prospective customers from our domain's traffic would be a great combination. Colorado Cyclist, for instance, though a giant compared to Bikexchange, has a pleasing combination of retail and well-written, respected articles. In any case, we believe our steady, strong traffic and high search engine rankings make us a viable site for purchase. If we sell, we hope to assist our new owner(s) and hope that the Bikexchange name and spirit will be well-served. I know for certain that the site would benefit from:
- More expertise in graphics and programming (a modest "facelift" with more automation--we haven't changed our "look" since our inception)
- More time spent in serious pursuit of advertising partners (though we've managed to stay in the black with our modest revenues during the past year or so)
- More marketing prowess and funding.
Until we find the right fit in a buyer, I promise to continue to maintain this website at a high level of quality and content.
Thank you all for stopping by our site. You, our visitors, have been this site's life blood. You are the greatest. It has been a wonderful four-year ride, seated in the saddle of The Bicycle Exchange.

July 2003 Update
Seven is a lucky number indeed.
After that many years on the Web, our luck shows no chance of waning. We were lucky enough to survive the "Dot Bomb" of the Internet business world, a catastrophic time that saw the disappearance of so many promising websites. We've been lucky to see our traffic continue to grow conservatively but steadily--recent months have consistently logged about 30,000 unique visitors and 60,000 page views. We've been lucky enough to hold on to a corps of seasoned and talented writers and cartoonists who contribute regularly to our site and make me very proud. This includes our "Guru of Grease," our "Boss of Ball Bearings," a.k.a. Mr. Andy Wallen, who continues to field scores of questions from around the world in his Ask the Mechanic column.
And we've been lucky and blessed in so many other ways.
Since my last update three years ago, much has changed in our country, our world and in the life of this online magazine. The massive grief and heroism of September 11, plus the illness and loss of loved ones in my family, have led me to appreciate the gifts of life and health, and of simple pleasures--like bicycling--that we simply take for granted far too often. "Carpe diem!" (Seize the day!) and "Don't sweat the small stuff" have become my dual mantras when it comes to managing The Bicycle Exchange. Despite a cooler approach, each season has added plenty of informative and entertaining content to our site. Within days, I will be launching a fully automated, free classifieds program from e-Classifieds, which will be far superior to our current, cut-and-pasted ads that are updated once per week. This marks a giant leap toward higher quality and better use of my time as editor. My next step is to post an efficient, interactive forum/message board program for individuals and event organizers to spread their news and views instantly. Not long after, I hope to update the look of our site, which has essentially the same appearance since our launch in 1996.
Finally, three words about the potential sale of our site--not a chance. While automated classifieds are here and an interactive forum is soon to follow, a bike repair book by Andy and a paperback anthology of our finest pieces and cartoons are now in the planning stages. This is no time to jump saddle.
It's been a wonderful seven years and I thank you all for your support, but keep an eye on this site, because the best of times are ahead.

June 2008 Update
It's a good thing my oldest brother taught me how to juggle!
This update--nearly five years since my last--finds me immersed in the promotion of a book that was spawned by this website, and features many articles and cartoons that first appeared here. It is entitled, The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings, and it was released November 23, 2007 by Satya House Publications (www.SatyaHouse.com), who did an outstanding job on designing and building the book. It is a collection of 35 articles and 43 cartoons from a corps of 25 talented contributors. The book has been well received around the country and in Canada and Britain, where two of the 25 contributors hail from. Find out more about the book and see a sampling of our many reviews at my publisher's website via www.BikeBook.net.
For the past year, however, this has meant less time devoted to updating Bikexchange, though we've still managed to grow to 900 pages of content and our Free Classifieds now number over 700. Still, I haven't given our Features and Ask the Mechanic sections--and the overall look and content of the site--the time they deserve, as I've found getting out a book (and still being a full-time teacher) is overwhelming. But the book has been a thrill and an honor, and I'm tickled so many of our fine contributors to Bikexchange are part of it.
It is said, "All good things in all good time," and I vow to return to giving this website its due once my book events are in the rear view mirror, and that is soon. I must thank so many of my contributors for appearing to promote the book in their respective towns and cities. That includes Gianna Bellofatto, Andy Wallen, Ella Lawrence, Bill Joyce (my brother), Chip Haynes, Bradley Swink, Jim Brink, Neal Skorpen, and Cathy Dion. They have enriched the lives of many a cyclist.
And I must mention that we proudly celebrated our 10th anniversary on the Web in September 2006. You know, September 2016 isn't looking too bad, either!

June 2009 Update....
It's Father's Day and I write you this message with great joy and pride, but also with a tinge of bittersweetness. This is my very first Father's Day, as my wife and I were given the gift of a beautiful baby boy on February 27. Little Liam Paul, our adopted son, has brightened my life in wondrous ways I'd never imagined. (BTW, Liam is Irish for William, his paternal grandfather's name, and Paul is the namesake of his maternal grandfather.) He is napping now in his swing, which allows me to complete this important "send off" of sorts.
Liam's arrival has changed everything, including re-ordering of my time, of which I used to spend a great deal of on this website, which has been itself like a child to me since it was born in August 1996. First, my recent book, The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings, mentioned in my June 2008 update (and selling quite well), kept me from giving justice to Bikexchange.com, and I fell behind on all updates. But the sections that have suffered most are our Feature Articles and our Ask the Mechanic column. I never had enough time to whip Bikexchange back into shape before Liam's arrival, especially since my wife and I immersed ourselves into fixing up our old house because we knew we'd have no time for that if and when a newborn baby arrived.
My year-round, full-time teaching job is another great love of mine, but it is more demanding on my time than ever, and my biggest wishes are the proverbial ones--more hours in the day, more days in the week, more of me.
And so I must announce today that I am suspending just about all of my work on Bikexchange indefinitely, as my family life and job no longer permit me the time to keep it up. While I will no longer post new editorial work, that is, articles, photos, and columns, I will leave all of those great writings and photos already posted to remain on Bikexchange, which will be left as is on the Web as a reference and library for cyclists everywhere. Many of the writings and photos herein are timeless, and I think it would be wrong to remove them from the world just because the website is no longer posting new submissions and updates. Our automated Free Classifieds section will remain active, and I will also try to keep our Ride Previews page of tours in OH-WV-PA updated every few months. Other updates to various pages of links will seldom, if ever, be made, but they will remain posted because so much of the information will be current for years to come.
With all my heart, I thank all of you loyal visitors over the years. It's been a pleasure and a source of deep, deep pride for me to be the creator and editor of this online magazine. And thanks to you who were kind enough to purchase The Bicycle Book. It really does represent the best of Bikexchange in content and spirit. And I will not--and cannot--ever forget our website's wonderful writers and cartoonists, so many of whom have contributed outstanding works for years. I know it sounds clich�, but I feel blessed to have rubbed shoulders with greatness! Your work has been unique and first rate. My greatest praise, however, must go to our Guru of Grease, our Chairman of Chain, our Director of Derailleurs, Mr. Andy Wallen, who did an extraordinary job of answering repair questions for over 10 years with wit, brevity and honesty in our Ask the Mechanic column.
Best wishes, my friends. Thanks again, and never forget to enjoy the ride!

Seeking Political Asylum After Immigration Denial
Asked by: G. Lader 1182 views Canadian Immigration
What are my next steps after receiving refusal of immigration? I had applied to come into Canada for Political Asylum due to the out break of violence that has spread through Eastern Africa. My attorney says that he had done all that he could but, I suspect that he did nothing to begin with it and simply took my money under a false notion. I desperately need to leave for the safety of my family.

Window-breaking anarchists have monopolized media coverage of May Day in Western Washington over recent years, but the biggest number of people taking to streets across the Evergreen State will be marching to get legal access to the American Dream.
OneAmerica, a group committed to immigration reform, is fielding demonstrations in Seattle as well as Mt. Vernon, Yakima, Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Vancouver and Spokane. "This is actually the first time we will be marching for immigration reform in the streets of Spokane," said Lucia Vasquez, an organizer of the Spokane march.
And, for the first time, immigration advocates have a bill in Congress, the immigration legislation introduced last week by a bipartisan Senate group known as the "Gang of Eight." "Our community sees this as a huge milestone: Some of the marches are stopping by members of our congressional delegation," said Charlie McAteer of One America.
The Vancouver march will start at the office of Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, touted by GOP House strategists for her Hispanic ancestry when she first ran for Congress in 2010. "She has made no commitment one way or the other to immigration reform: We are trying to nudge her to make a decision," said Rick Covington, an organizer of the Vancouver march.
In Walla Walla and Spokane, marchers will have their eye on Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, R-Wash., the Eastern Washington congresswoman who serves in the House Republican leadership. Javier Saucedo, an organizer of the Walla Walla march, noted that McMorris-Rodgers voted against the Dream Act, a path to citizenship for young people who came to the U.S. at an early age and are now studying in college or serving in the military. "We are giving people Cathy McMorris-Rdogers' phone (number) so they can call her: We are going to have a chance soon (to pass immigration reform)," said Saucedo.
Vasquez, in Spokane, added: "We have tried contacting her office. We haven't had much luck."
In addition to educating members of Congress, the demonstrations aim to build support for a path to citizenship for undocumented residents of the United States — "A clear path to citizenship is vital," said McAteer — and to pressure the Obama administration to stop deportations that separate family members.
The Seattle march will convene at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 611 20th S., at 1 p.m., listen to speeches for about two hours, and then march to the Federal Building in downtown Seattle.
The marches also aim to build support for the Washington Dream Act, passed by the state House of Representatives but blocked from a vote in the Washington State Senate. It would make state need grant money available to undocumented students who have lived in Washington since they were very young, and seeking a college education, and want career in what is for many the only country they have ever know. A majority of State Senators back the act. But State Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee, will not allow a vote on it.

Definitions for garrick, david
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word garrick, david.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Garrick, David
a famous English actor and dramatist, born at Hereford; was educated at Lichfield, the home of his mother, and was for some months in his nineteenth year a pupil of Samuel Johnson; in 1737 he accompanied Johnson to London, with the intention of entering the legal profession, but soon abandoned the purpose, and started in the wine business with his brother; in 1741 he commenced his career as an actor, making his first appearance at Ipswich; in the autumn of the same year he returned to London, and as Richard III. achieved instant success; with the exception of a sojourn upon the Continent for two years, his life was spent mainly in the metropolis in the active pursuit of his profession; in 1747 he became patentee, along with James Lacy, of Drury Lane Theatre, which he continued to direct until his retirement from the stage in 1776; three years later he died, and was buried in Westminster Abbey; he was the author of many comedies and farces, which, however, are of no great merit, but his abiding fame rests upon his powers as an actor, his remarkable versatility enabling him to act with equal ease and success in farce, comedy, and tragedy; his admirable naturalness did much to redeem the stage from the stiff conventionalism under which it then laboured; his wife, Eva Maria Violette, a celebrated dancer of Viennese birth, whom he married in 1740, survived him till 1822, dying at the advanced age of 98 (1717-1779).

The full day before my departure, I met up with some friends of the WaWa project endeavor. Vergasto, Kwame, and Daniel. They own a drum shop in the bustling art center of Accra and are good friends with Abu. We were able to have some great conversations about our visions for the project and talk about purchasing. I also was able to participate in some drumming with them!
They also made a video for WaWa that I will post on the website later.
After celebrating the success of getting our certification and incorporation paper work for the WaWa Project, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a Nigerian – Ghanaian wedding, the day I was departing Ghana! What a great way to end my time in Ghana and see all of my friends for the few moments before I depart.
Here are some of the lifelong friends I made while in Ghana and the African dress that was made for me for such a wonderful occasion.
The WaWa Project is dependent on the generosity of individuals who believe that we can make a difference in Ghana. Your financial contributions will help us build the WaWa Secondary School campus, provide tuition for the students, create jobs for local teachers and ultimately, empower a generation of disadvantaged children.

Can the value or meaning of art really be affected by what others think of it? The idea of a classic is that it stands the test of time. How can an album sound diluted because "others" find it appealing as well?
no form of metal ever tries to replace fantasy with another fantasy, it has always been about finding a reality, dispelling the illusion set up by the problems with our current state of affairs
Metal offers a fantasy that can inspire the need for a different reality. As long as that fantasy remains only a fantasy it will bear no consequences and will only be the dark sided equivalent of what it pretends to oppose. Life belongs to those who live it.
Metal belongs to those who live it.
True extreme metal does not belong to the crowd and it never will. No one can completely apprehend something timeless because its bigger than just one individual alone and far beyond the grasp of a mindless group of inbreds that you find in the current metal scene.
I twinge when I see metal on MTV as well, but some of these arguments are ridiculous. I think we can only start making progress once we analyze ourselves to see why we don't like to see (true) metal commoditized by the crowd.

Staples Inc. has opened its e-commerce-focused Velocity Lab in Cambridge, MA. The facility will help the office supplies chain develop e-retail and mobile commerce programs. Staples, No. 2 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, earlier this year announced a restructuring plan that included closing stores and investing more in the web.
Staples, which has set a goal of tripling the size of its e-commerce and information technology staff by 2014, announced its plans to build the facility just less than a year ago. The Velocity Lab can house up to 75 workers and accommodate visiting employees. The facility, located in Kendall Square, sits in a tech-heavy area of the northeast.
"Staples is investing to provide a superior multichannel shopping experience through the use of our web sites, mobile assets and stores," says Brian Tilzer, the chain's senior vice president of global e-commerce. "The Staples Velocity Lab is vital to the development of our e-commerce assets, as it provides a space to allow our teams to think creatively, enhancing our mobile commerce, social media and online offerings."

Item Description...
This group of assignments in the series called Writing Strands is designed to give homeschooled third level students a grounding in the very complicated process of giving others their thoughts in written form. This level is designed for students who, in public school, would be considered ready for third or even up to seventh grade. Of course, third and seventh grade students would write much differently, but that is not a problem. Both can experience learning the skills presented in this level. It has been designed to be widely applied, for there are many experiences here that most young writers should have. Scope & Sequence: Topics covered in this level are following directions (basic), sentence & paragraph control (basic), rewriting sentences (basic), description (people), description (people's thoughts), organization (activities), organization (objects), description (perspective), story creation (creative), description (organization), description (actions), narrative events (organization), creative (narrative). (Grades 3 to 7.)

The aim of this PhD Thesis is the implementation and development of Local Field Correction (LFC) PIV advanced algorithms within Stereoscopic PIV systems to allow their application to real flows of industrial interest. The motivation comes from the need of accurate measurements in large facilities. In particular, the Stereo-LFC PIV is applied within this PhD Thesis to large scale experiments in the European project CoJeN (Computation Coaxial Jet Noise) to provide the numeric simulation groups with enough accurate data to validate their codes. Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are dedicated to the description of the different techniques of interest for this Thesis. A wide bibliographic research is presented establishing the basis for the work. In particular, chapter 3 is dedicated to give an overview of the fundamentals of the particle image velocimetry techniques together with a characterization of the intrinsic PIV errors. Chapter 4 analyzes the resolution and robustness issues in relation to the advanced techniques of interest in this Thesis. Chapter 5 examines the convenience of stereo systems, analyzing the limitations of conventional PIV with a single camera, and describing how these limitations can be overcome by adding a second camera. Subsequently, a discussion on different stereoscopic configurations used by different authors follows together with an evaluation of the advantages of each set-up. An error analysis associated with the various configurations is also reported. The second part of the Thesis (chapters 6 to 8) is dedicated to the development and description of the new combination proposed and its application both to synthetic and real images. This part contains the main original contributions of the Thesis. Chapter 6 is dedicated to the description of the different steps that lead to the development of the Stereo-LFC PIV. A theoretical approach to qualitatively predict the abilities of different advanced PIV algorithms is proposed. Chapter 7 studies the performance of the new method proposed through its application to synthetic images at typical stereo PIV conditions. The analysis includes comparisons with other actual algorithms and is performed for different flow field scales and at different resolutions. Finally, Chapter 8 reports on the results obtained when applying the Stereo-LFC PIV to real images, both at laboratory and at industrial scale. A comparison between these results and those obtained by the other advanced algorithm used in chapter 7 is also made in order to check the coherence with the results obtained with synthetic images. The measurements at semi industrial scale are part of the ones done at the CoJeN project that motivated the development of the technique.

BLOG: Lowe talks Belovby Chris Wescott / Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Oilers blueliner Anton Belov scored for Russia in his Olympic debut today, a 5-2 win over Slovenia. For the 27-year-old defenceman, it had to be a moment to remember. Oilers President of Hockey Operations Kevin Lowe was on hand for the goal.
"It must have been quite the feeling…," Lowe said. "The score was 3-2 in the third period. Not unlike (Canada's) game against Norway, I don't think it appeared that the Russians were too nervous but once they scored a few goals, including Anton's in the third, I think everyone breathed a little easier."
Belov's goal secured a three-goal lead for the Russians in the third period. The moment after he scored, Belov was noticeably excited.
"I didn't talk to him afterwards, but it was a great shot," Lowe said. "He was really excited, by his celebration. It's probably a highlight for him, I'm sure, in his career to score a goal, on his home soil, in the Olympics. I'm sure it will be one of the great memories for him."
For a player like Belov, in his first season of professional hockey in North America, it is important to build confidence in his game. The transition from KHL to the NHL has been something Belov has been working towards. Lowe talked about that transition and how an experience like the Olympics can help in a player's development.
"I think overall, although Anton is not a young player, he's certainly not an old player. But he is young for the NHL. It's a completely different league than playing over in Europe, the KHL in his case. It's a longer season, it's more of a grind, a smaller rink and all of those things. I suspect that this experience for him will help him immensely when he comes back to Edmonton. I'm sure that scoring a goal, and if he continues to play well, will add to his confidence and that should only bode well for our hockey team and in terms of how he's able to be productive for us when he does come back."

This time I will be converting a 7001139-Y000 Artesyn
In case you have missed my other builds to date, here are their links:
Be sure to read the warnings/notes I have posted in the above threads... they apply here as well.
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most difficult; this is a 9... possibly a 10.
You will need to be very skilled with a soldering iron as you will be required to solder on a circuit board in close proximity to parts that should not be soldered in order to fire these server power supplies (SPS's) up.
The tools/parts I used:
60 watt soldering pencil
280 watt soldering gun
>Wire wheel
>Cut off disc
Shrink tube
Label of the SPS
Found out that pins 3 and 4 (marked in red) need to be shorted to power up the supplies.
The 30 solder pots on the left in two lines of 15 are what need to be soldered to tap into the 12dcv.
Soldered these two together on the circuit board as it is nearly impossible to solder inside the socket of these supplies.
Definitely not pretty, but it will get the job done. I tied into all of the available areas to distribute the amperage across as many pins as possible.
Here is the only shot I remembered to get of the AC side... sorry!
But here is a diagram:
This project was for a fellow member of these boards.... he requested that two of these supplies be wired up in series, so this is what I did for him. He will be performing the finishing touches himself... maybe he will post up a follow through!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Man the solder on those black and red mains is close together on the board... any concerns about it arcing or stuff getting caught up in there causing a short? Wouldnt take much metal dust to build up between them. I certainly have no place making suggestions about this stuff as im definitely no expert. But you could use a dremel cut off disk to just grind away some of the solder and add a few MM of space between the 2 lumps of solder then maybe coat the whole thing in liquid electrical tape. Again, great setup. Wildly impressive. That would be the only thing that would concern me with a really high amp system.
They are no closer than the original pins where... I certainly hope there is no arcing! If it does though, all they will do is shut down... once the issue is fixed all that should be needed is to plug them back in to get them running again.
Some sort of coating may not be a bad idea... if only they were not already packed up and read to ship. lol
Since the final user is going to be mounting these within a case, I doubt any sort of debris is going to accumulate and cause issues.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.

May 8, 2001 - Melbourne based Formula Holden racing team NRC Racing can't wait to race two of the fastest racing cars in Australia at Darwin's Hidden Valley Raceway this weekend. Formula Holdens are almost exact in dimensions and appearance to Formula One cars, something that Darwin and Northern Territory motor racing fans have never experienced.
These cars are ex-European Formula 3000 chassis made from carbon fibre and ultra-light metals ans can reach speeds in excess of 260kph in full race trim. Formula Holdens are single seater open wheelers powered by Holden's responsive 3.8 Litre V6 engine and hold outright lap records at all circuits where they compete. As an example, a Formula Holden will lap any circuit between 5 - 8 seconds faster than the quickest V8 Supercars, the super-fast cornering characteristics of these cars make them an absolute spectacle to watch and there is no doubt that Darwin race fans are going to be impressed.
NRC Racing's driver line up in Darwin starts with exciting 26 year old American, Emerson Newton-John. The Californian is the nephew of icon Australian actor and singer Olivia Newton-John and has international racing credentials behind him. He has chosen to race in Australia to further his experience level and Formula Holden has proven to be a major stepping stone for drivers seeking to compete internationally.
Newton-John debuted in the Holden Australian Drivers' Championship with a stunning second place at Phillip Island in Victoria and is looking forward to racing to win in Darwin. "From what everyone tells me, Hidden Valley is an awesome circuit and these are truly fantastic racing cars. I can't wait to get out there as this is really the start of the business end of the Championship. I couldn't think of a better venue in which to try to take my first Australian victory, I'm looking forward to a great event and a fantastic weekend in Australia's Northern Territory," The likeable American said.
NRC Racing's second driver is 21 year old New South Welshman Stewart McColl. This driver has been one of the finds of the season, driving to two superb second places out of four races so far. A rookie (first Formula Holden season) to the series just like his team mate, McColl is currently second in the Championship chase and desperately wants to beat title rival Rick Kelly in Darwin this Sunday. "From the V8 races that I have seen at Hidden Valley, the fans are going to really enjoy the sound and speed of Formula Holden. I am at a very competitive point in the title chase so it is crucial for me to score a win or two in Darwin. Hidden Valley is a super fast circuit so I think its going to be great fun as well," McColl said.
Both Emerson Newton-John and Stewart McColl would be delighted to participate in interviews or photo opportunities with the Darwin media before the races. They arrive on Thursday (May 10) at 11:40am, flight QF 673. The NRC Racing website contains a myriad of team and driver information and high resolution images to accompany any stories. /ends.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Companies with substantial short-interest positions against their respective shares will make a big showing this week as they report quarterly earnings. A strong beat or a rosy outlook could determine if they will be the next short squeeze.
Reporting quarterly earnings this week are AK Steel Holding Corp. AKS, -2.22% , Rent-A-Center Inc. RCII, -1.80% , Arch Coal Inc. AKS, -2.22% Lexmark International Inc. US:LXK , and VMware Inc. VMW, -0.03% on Tuesday; Angie's List Inc. ANGI, +0.07% on Wednesday; and VeriSign Inc. VRSN, -2.58% , Quest Diagnostics Inc. DGX, -2.46% , and JetBlue Airways Corp. JBLU, -2.02% on Thursday.
All have short positions of over 14% of shares outstanding, according to FactSet. Some 32% of AK Steel's shares are shorted, while Angie's List shares are nearly 27% shorted. Among the least, VMware shares are 14% shorted.
Of the 10 companies reporting earnings this week with the largest percentage of their shares outstanding shorted, only half of them have seen those short positions increase since the end of the first quarter.
Since the end of March, the number of short-interest positions has increased by 21.1% for VeriSign, 17.1% for AK Steel, 6.9% for Arch Coal, 3.7% for Rent-A-Center, and 1.5% for VMWare, according to FactSet data.
Of those companies, the shares of only three are down for the year to date: VeriSign stock is down 15%, Rent-A-Center is down 23%, and AK Steel has declined 18%.
Those companies for which short interest has declined slightly since the end of March are Quest Diagnostics and Lexmark, both by 5.1%; Angie's List by 4.1%; JetBlue by 4%; and D.R. Horton by 2.5%.
Of those companies, three are showing stock gains for the year to date: Quest is up 11%, Lexmark has surged 32%, and JetBlue is up 3%.

Sprout: Easy to Assemble Kids Furniture
- Location: Online
- Specialty: Flat pack kids furniture made in the USA.
- Price range: $$
- Website: sprout-kids.com
Store History
You may be familiar with the scene: you've come home with flat pack furniture for your child's room and banished them so they won't hear you swearing while you try to assemble it. There must be a better way! Maybe even a way that will let the kids get involved.
Clark Davis grew up around a cabinet shop, often spending time in his father's growing up. After a series of moves, and inspired by his childhood love of Legos, Clark came up with the concept for Sprout kids furniture. Requiring no hardware or tools, the chairs, tables and shelves from Sprout can be assembled with ease. You can even get your kids in on the fun.
Getting the kids involved with the assembly is actually the intention. It's part of Clark's effort to inspire kids with design and building – the way he was inspired by Legos and his parents' encouragement to tinker and explore. As Davis says…
Sprout's philosophy, play.think.grow, is based on the belief that we learn by interacting with our surroundings, so we should create surroundings that lend themselves to interacting with. To some furniture is a fixture. To us it is a toy. It is a way of interacting and learning.

The Nashville Predators have made a trade to help their team out, big time! Their trade was with the Montreal Canadiens.
Nashville Gets: Hal Gill and a conditionally 2013, 5th Rd. Pick
Montreal Gets: Blake Geoffrion, Robert Slaney and a 2012, 2nd Rd. Pick
Click Read More for analysis….
This move is great for the Nashville Predators. David Poile made a great move for a defenseman that they need. Gill adds more depth and what the Predators wanted, size. Hal Gill is 6 foot 7 inches and knows how to be physical. Gill has won one cup, in 2009, with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Hal Gill will most likely play on the 2nd line with Kevin Klein.
The other important man in the deal was Blake Geoffrion going to Montreal. Geoffrion was a huge, important role in growing hockey in Nashville. He played at Centennial Sportsplex, where kids play now. Sadly, he didn't have a great performance in the NHL while with the Nashville Predators.
We will all miss Blake Geoffrion here.
Here is the Press Release:
Nashville, Tenn. (February 17, 2012) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has acquired veteran defenseman Hal Gill and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2013 Entry Draft from Montreal in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2012 Entry Draft and forwards Blake Geoffrion and Robert Slaney. He is expected to meet the team today in Detroit.
"Hal Gill brings our team a number of elements – size, penalty-killing ability, depth on defense and playoff experience," Poile said. "He has won a Stanley Cup and played a combined 69 playoff games over the last four years, experience that significantly benefits our team."
Gill, 36 (4/6/75), has suited up for 1,047 regular-season games (36g-143a-179pts, 940 PIMs) and 105 playoff contests (0g-6a-6pts, 68 PIMs) since 1997-98 – more than any player currently on the Predators roster. He appeared in back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2008 and 2009 with Pittsburgh, winning the Cup in 2009. One of the League's tallest players at 6-7, 240 pounds, Gill has eight points (1g-7a) and 29 penalty minutes thus far in 2011-12 playing in his third season with the Canadiens.

Keeping the Edge – Night Paddleboarding with Jeff Denholm
I'm at Verve Coffee on 41st Street in Santa Cruz, very cool place. Serious barista-meisters, crema perfecta, good wi-fi. A big tan guy came in a few minutes ago, broad shoulders, deep chest, and missing an arm. He sat with a friend next to me and he started talking about paddling. Pretty soon we're talking. He has a 16' custom Joe bark board, I have a 12 footer…Turns out he's sponsored by Patagonia, among others. He competes in paddle races and surfs. Man, what an inspiration! He just left. I looked him up and read this:

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
Mind Riot
I was slipping through the cracks
Of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope
Walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a
Third world war
And the police said this was normal control
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I was crying from my eye teeth and
Bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just
To stamp out the coals
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pouring down wind

Aboriginal populations grew across Canada's North in the last 10 years, leaping in Nunavut and the Yukon while making smaller gains in the Northwest Territories, according to census figures released Tuesday by Statistics Canada.
Almost half of Canada's Inuit call Nunavut home, the census found. About 24,600 people, or 49 per cent of all Inuit, live in the territory. As was the case in past counts, 84 per cent of all Nunavut residents in 2006 identified themselves as Inuit.
Canadian Inuit also live in:
- The Nunavik region in northern Quebec: 19 per cent of all Inuit in Canada, or 9,565 people.
- The Inuvialuit region in the Northwest Territories: six per cent, or 3,115 people.
- The Nunatsiavut region in Labrador: four per cent, or 2,160 people.
The last decade saw a boost in Nunavut's Inuit population, growing by 20 per cent between 1996 and 2006.
Meanwhile, the number of aboriginal Yukoners also went up about 23 per cent during that same time period, to 7,580 people.
By contrast, the aboriginal population in the Northwest Territories grew by only nine per cent, to 20,635, people by 2006.
Within the Northwest Territories, the number of aboriginal people who identified themselves as "North American Indian" grew by 15 per cent to 12,640. While the number of Inuvialuit grew by nearly four per cent, the number of Metis in the N.W.T. shrank by 2.5 per cent.
About 83 per cent of the Yukon's aboriginal population said they were "North American Indian" in 2006, but a growing number of Metis and Inuit were identified in the territory over the 10-year period.
Overall, the total aboriginal population in Canada went up by 45 per cent between 1996 and 2006, according to Statistics Canada.
During that same time period, the numbers of non-aboriginal people dropped by about eight per cent in the Yukon, stayed about the same in the Northwest Territories, and grew by 11 per cent in Nunavut.
Analysts with Statistics Canada cited high birth rates, as well as more people identifying themselves as aboriginal, for rising aboriginal populations across the country.
The aboriginal populations across the North were centred in cities such as Iqaluit, Yellowknife and Whitehorse. And across the North, they are young — the median ages for aboriginal northerners are:
- Nunavut: 20 years old
- N.W.T.: 26 years old
- Yukon: 30 years old
The census figures also found that generally, aboriginal and Inuit children across the North were more likely than non-aboriginal people to be in lone-parent families, live in crowded homes, and live in homes needing major repairs.
