Japan's Technology In World
Japan's Technology
Japan has been an innovator of the striking infrastructure projects. Now Japan is involved in several projects around the world that could influence infrastructure for years to come.
Japan has one of the oldest wooden temples still standing after hundreds of earthquakes, The Shinkansen... the first high-speed rail line making the world take note, and several projects that have attracted many nations to get the new technology.
Tokyo 2020 National Olympic Stadium $1.26 billion:

Tokyo Olympic stadium construction work and detail about it
When Japan hosted the Summer Olympics in 1964, Japanese architect Kenzo Tange'sYoyogi National Gymnasium became an architectural icon. When it Hosts the 2020 Summer Olympics, Japan will add another Architectural Jewel.
Currently, Under Construction, the new National Stadium dreamed up by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is designed to harmonize with the surrounding green space and recall the element of a traditional Japanese Temple, while still accommodating Olympic sized crowds.
Shinkansen High-Speed Rail:

Shinkansen Bullet Train
Under this, we can see many projects going on in countries like India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Texas.
History of these high-speed trains is based on a concept by two of Japan's great visionaries of having a dedicated track for just high-speed trains which have a capacity of the aeroplane and a considerable high speed. They did it on time and perfect, and within 3 years it crossed over 1 million passenger travels.
now it has over 100's of trains going up and down having higher speeds and just 3 min time gap between two consecutive ones with delays in seconds and no death record.
Some of the Shinkansen projects working around the world are:
Shinkansen, India $12 billion
It is a project of 508 km underground as well as an elevated track route. This will connect the financial center of India, Mumbai and Gujarat's major city, Ahmedabad. Japan is going to fund about 81% of the total project and will it repaid by 50 years with 0.1% the interest rate.
The completion date is seen to be in the year 2023.
Shinkansen, Singapore Malaysia $17-20 billion
The shinkansen will be connecting Malaysia and Singapore which will reduce the travel time to 90 minutes where currently it takes around 5 hours. Japan will provide the funds and the technology fr the high-speed train.
The completion date is seen to be in the year 2026.
Shinkansen, Texas $40 million
As most of the railways are in the hand of private investors, this project is seen to be in private investors' plan to build it between Dallas and Houston. Overall there are enough funds with the central rail commission but Japan will fund the $40 million project.
The completion date is not announced.
Chennai Metro Rail, India $9.8 billion:
Chennai metro project taken by the Japan metro organisation
Recognizing the economic potential in the emerging Indian market, Japan has also partnered with this India to become involved in projects like the Free Open Indo Pacific Strategy.
Additional Japan brings the money and technology to the table for the Chennai Metro Rail Project.
W350 Wooden Skyscraper, Tokyo $5.6 billion:
W350 wooden skyscraper
A company named Sumitomo Forestry has plans to build the world's first 70 story skyscraper out of wood. The building carries a price tag of more than $5 billion. We will see the new CLT technology which will help better Timber buildings having resistance to fire and doesn't get weak over time.
Tokyo 2045: TBD:
Sky Mile Tower which will be the tallest tower ever and will house over 50000 people
As an island nation, Japan is practically sensitive to rising sea and other effects of climate change. In response to environmental changes, architects from Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Leslie E. Robertson creates a vision for Tokyo in 2045. The design includes hexagonal pads in Tokyo Bay to break up storm surges and maintaining a better living city. Another project is of building Sky Mile Tower, a mile-high building, that's twice the height of Burj Khalifa. This would house over 50000 residents.

IZA DP No. 11076: Income Increase and Moving to a Better Neighbourhood: An Enquiry into Ethnic Differences in Finland
Concentration to disadvantaged neighbourhoods may hinder immigrants' opportunities for social integration, so equal chances of translating available economic resources into mobility to less disadvantaged neighbourhoods are important. This paper adds to existing research on exits from poor neighbourhoods by focusing on the effects of income increase on residential mobility. We analyse intra-urban residential mobility from low-income neighbourhoods into non-low-income neighbourhoods among immigrants and native-born residents in three urban regions in Finland. We use longitudinal register data for the 2004–2014 period for the full Finnish population, allowing a dynamic analysis of changes in income and neighbourhood of residence. Based on multinomial logit modelling of migration outcomes, we found that an increase in income is associated with moving both to low-income and non-low-income areas even when controlling for initial income level. Upward income mobility was connected to exit from low-income areas in a quite similar way among immigrants and native-born Finns. The findings suggest that policies e.g. improving the labour market opportunities of immigrants are effective in reduction of residential segregation. However, we were not able to completely explain the differences between native-born Finns and immigrants in moving patterns. The differences between the cities were opposite for immigrants and native-born Finns, corresponding to differences in immigration history and levels of ethnic segregation. Therefore, the local context matters for spatial integration outcomes.

What is the Timber Flooring Janka Hardness Rating?
Timber floors have been very common in many places, especially Australia, since European building construction first began. You can find them in both houses and public buildings and make up an important part of the building's structure. While timber floors can provide a basic walking area within a building and create an attractive feature in homes when the homeowner polishes them, it is also very easy to damage them.
Factors to consider before buying timber flooring
While wood flooring looks quite attractive there are some common daily occurrences that can easily diminish this beauty. These occurrences include the following:
- Extensive traffic in a small section of the floor causing a "worn" look in only that area
- Lack of care when moving furniture
- Chair loads that fail to provide proper load bearing for the floor
- Stiletto heels crossing the surface—can cause damage even to hard timber
While the above incidents are certainly considerations before choosing wood flooring, the main reason people choose this type of floor is appearance. Additionally there are factors that influence appearance such as colour, width of the board and even the finish of the individual wood an individual or contractor uses.
Janka test for hardness
Testing the hardness of any wood has no relationship to the wood's ease when working with various tools. Instead it is a measure of how well the wood resists indentation. The figures from the Janka test are used to determine the hardness of any piece of timber.
In order to check the hardness of wood using the Janka hardness rating test a steel ball that measures 11.18 mm in diameter is pressed into the test specimen until it reaches half the diameter of the ball. Some of the available Janka figures are only based on a small sampling, and as such are not appropriate for those who need to make fine distinctions between various types of wood. The two primary sets of figures are for green wood and seasoned wood. Sometimes green wood in a particular species shows a lower hardness than mature timber in the very same species; however, this is not consistent with all species of wood.
The Janka wood ratings are generally as follows:
- Moderately Hard/Very Hard
Other types of flooring options
While timber is a very common type of flooring, there are other types as well such as engineered flooring, laminate flooring and bamboo. In most cases engineered flooring has a face of solid timber that is approximately 3mm thick on the upper surface that is already exposed. You can purchase bamboo flooring as laminated flooring or as strand woven flooring. The former is classified as hard while the latter falls into the very hard category.
Understanding the test results
The results of the Janka testing process are stated in accordance with the measurements in various countries thus leading to confusion. For instance, in the United States the measurement shows in pounds; in Sweden it appears in kilograms; and in Australia it appears in either newtons or kilonewtons. This can become confusing for someone who does not understand the different measurements or are uncertain which unit of measure was used in the testing results.
The direction of the grain in wood has a significant bearing on the hardness. This means if the testing results from side hardness (measure in the direction of the centre of the tree), the result will be similar to that obtained from an angle than is tangent to the rings of the tree. The most common purpose of a Janka hardness rating test is to determine whether a particular species of wood is suitable as a material for flooring.
When considering whether to install wood flooring, it's important to keep the hardness factor in mind. Some woods do not hold up well when they are installed in high traffic areas or areas that sustain damage from the movement of high heels or improper movement of furniture. All of these factors are important to consider before choosing wood flooring or make the decision to choose other types of flooring such as laminate or bamboo.
Janka testing determines the hardness of an individual piece of wood, and this in turn tells a potential buyer whether that type of wood is suitable for his purposes. While the results are not likely of great importance to someone who is hiring a contractor, the buyer does need to inform the contractor of the circumstances surrounding the area where he is installing the floor so he can choose the proper wood hardness for that area.

What is a paragon referred to in painting
A paragon is defined as the ideal or perfect example of something. A paragon is something against which everything else is judged or matched to, seen as the ideal form of something. In the case of art, a paragon is typically a model or one who sits for a painting—they are the ideal character or representation for what the artist is attempting to paint.
The term originates from "paragone," an Italian word for a stone to test the purity of gold. It is intended to mean that a paragon is the item or individual against which other things are compared and tested—the perfect example. Additionally, the term "paragone" was used to define a debate between the skill and uniqueness of painting and sculpture in the Renaissance in an attempt to compare the two and determine which was the superior art form.


About the COAD
What does the Elkhart County COAD do?
The Elkhart County COAD convenes and coordinates a collaborative disaster response network of private, public, and nonprofit individuals and organizations to respond to disasters.
Why should we join the Elkhart County COAD?
In times of disaster you will get up to date information about resources and response and the opportunity to attend regular disaster forums, trainings, and information sessions.
What do member organizations have to do?
Member organizations and individuals are asked to 1) attend regular meetings and trainings, 2) share updates about their work to facilitate collaboration, and 3) help communicate critical information and resources back to affected communities.
Who are the ECCOAD members?
Over 30 organizations and individuals are part of our COAD including the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, City of Elkhart, local faith institutions and businesses.
What is the value of a COAD?
Communities that bring resources together through a COAD can increase the effectiveness of their response to the needs of disaster survivors, and reduce the social and economic impact of the disaster.
Who runs the Elkhart County COAD?
The COAD is governed by an executive committee and chair. The COAD fiscal agent is the Crossroads United Way and it was jointly founded by the Community Foundation of Elkhart County and the Crossroads United Way.

Easy Kumpir (Jacket Potato) Recipe
Kumpir or kompir is the name given to potatoes in my hometown. Although it is a word that is generally preferred by the elderly, it has not been used yet. It is thought that it was derived from the word "grundbirne", which means potato in German, and entered our country during the migrations over the Balkans and spread to Anatolia from there.
In different regions, it has taken the forms of "kumpir, gumpir, kumpil, gompil, hompur, humpur, kübül, guüpür" by changing it to fit the dialect of the people best. I think the word that best supports the theory that the word derives from German is the word "Alamangumpili" used by the people of Afyon.
Potatoes entered our country from different country borders at the beginning of the 19th century. For this reason, the pronunciation in the regions also reflects the pronunciation in the countries where it is taken. In Thrace and other provinces that have migrated through this road, the word is said as kumpir and its derivatives, which I have mentioned above, since the word was taken from Bulgaria.
In the Black Sea, the words kartol, kartop, karton, garduf, kardoğ, etc., which are derived from the word cartofel, are used because it was taken from Russia. In the regions that take the word from the Caucasus, patata, patalak, pitana, pata, etc., which is derived from the word patat. words are used. There is no limit to the words used other than those I have mentioned. Potato is perhaps the food with the most diverse pronunciation in our country.
The entry of kumpir in our country as we know it today coincides with a much later date, in 1991. It is stated in various sources that the potato cooked in aluminum foil in Yugoslavia is obtained by combining it with various salads and sauces and is called "krumpir".
Mr. The protagonist of the Kumpir's adventure that started in Turkey, which has made its name known to the world with the brand "Mr Kumpur", is an entrepreneur from Erzurum named Halit Kesemen.
However, Halit Bey introduced kumpir into our lives, which is produced in industrial ovens and can only be eaten in restaurants and cafes. Now, with this recipe, I intend to bring the kumpir to the houses. This recipe, which can be prepared in a very short time if your cucumber ingredients are ready, can be eaten as a snack on days when you are too lazy to cook and eat, or you can serve it to your guests as a salad.
Enjoy the recipe...

Why a creepy new porn app isn't bad news for Google Glass
The possibilities are endless with Glass.
The possibilities are endless with Glass. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
The first attempt, an app called Tits and Glass, allowed Glass users to stream pornographic images to their headset. The app was promptly banned from Google's app store, but was recently reinstated.
Now a new app for Glass developed by Lebanese product design student Sherif Maktabi and called Sex with Google Glass lets couples use the wearable technology to record their intimate activities, and — if both partners are wearing a headset — even see sex through their partner's eyes by streaming the view from their respective devices.
The app is controlled through groan-worthy voice commands. For example, saying "Ok Glass, it's time" begins the recording process. Once sex is over, recording is ended by the voice command "Ok Glass, pull out." Video can be replayed for up to five hours before being automatically deleted from the app.
Concerns about morals or privacy aside, it's important to remember that porn is a big driver of technology adoption. The adult film industry has been at the forefront of technology for years, at least since it picked VHS over Betamax. Technological innovations pioneered by the porn industry include online payment systems, streaming video and video chat, DVD, and HD video formats.

The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure, together with the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, has unveiled a new infrastructure rating system called Envision. The system is designed to help policy-makers evaluate the sustainability of infrastructure, set realistic national priorities, and conduct a national discourse on infrastructure investment.
Envision rates all types and sizes of civil infrastructure projects in terms of environmental, economic, and community benefits. Infrastructure owners, engineers, contractors, and regulators can address all major infrastructure project stages: planning and design, construction, operations and maintenance, and decommissioning.
The rating system's credits and points are tied to measurable economic benefits to more fully account for impacts — such as job creation, triple bottom-line outcomes (social, environmental, economic), enhancements to community resilience, and regional competitiveness — that are not included in standard financial measures.
Educational programs will be offered to Envision users, and its developers plan to release two companion tools this year: a pre-planning checklist for assessing project sustainability, and a comprehensive guidance document and score calculator that analyzes and rates a project's achievement of sustainability objectives.

Definition of Underweighted
Usually refers to recommendation that leads an investor to reduce their investment in a particular security or asset class. The reduction is usually with respect to a benchmark. Suppose that U.S. equities compose 40% of the benchmark portfolio. If one thinks the U.S. will underperform, the investor may reduce the exposure to U.S. equity to less than 40%.


text: This paper proposes a route planning problem for sightseeing with fuzzy random variables based on constraints of required traveling times and satisfactions of the total sightseeing activity. In general, traveling times among sightseeing places and the satisfactions of activities depend on weather and climate conditions. Tourists will like to do their favorable route planning without drastically changing the tour route of usual condition such as fine even if the weather condition changes for the worse. Therefore, the fuzzy random variables for traveling times and satisfactions of activities derived from uncertainty conditions are introduced, and a new route planning problem is proposed to obtain the favorable route similar to the optimal route under the usual condition. As a basic case of fuzzy numbers, interval values and the order relation are introduced. From the order relation, the proposed model is transformed into an extended model of network optimization problems. A numerical example is provided to compare the proposed model with standard route planning problems for sightseeing.

What is a c wire on a sensi thermostat?
On combined heating and cooling systems, Sensi does not require a "C" wire because the thermostat is designed to "Power Share" between the two systems. For example, on a call for heat, Sensi will use a small amount of power from the cooling system to power the Wi-Fi radio. In "Power Sharing" mode, the AA batteries may last more than a year.
What is a C-Wire and Why Do You Need One?
The 'C' wire (short for 'Common' wire) is the wire that actually provides the power to operate your thermostat. Although there are some options available if you do not have a 'C' wire (see below), having one opens up a much greater choice.
Can I Add A C-Wire To My System To Use the Sensi thermostat? A c-wire (also referred to as a common wire) is a low voltage power wire that many Wi-Fi thermostats require for their features to work.

STRAWSCRAPER – an urban power plant
STRAWSCRAPER is an extension of Söder Torn on Södermalm in Stockholm. With its new energy producing shell covered in straws the building can now recover wind energy and thus works as an urban powerplant. What was originally planned to become a building of 40 flights became 26. Söder Torn was finalized in 1997, however, the architect Henning Larsen had already left the contract after having lost influence over the design of the tower.
Belatchew Arkitekter wants to give Söder Torn its original proportions and at the same time explore new techniques that could create the urban wind farm of the future. By using piezoelectric technology a large number of thin straws can produce electricity merely through small movements generated by the wind. The result is a new kind of wind power plant that opens up possibilities of how buildings can produce energy. With the help of this technique, surfaces on both old and new buildings can be transformed into energy producing entities. Furthermore, an additional aspect is revealed when the constant movement of the straws creates an undulating landscape on the facades. What is usually considered to be the most static of all things, the building, suddenly comes alive and the construction gives the impression of a body that is breathing. The straws swaying in the wind gives the building a constantly changing facade further reinforced at nighttime with lighting in changing colors.
The straws of the facade consist of a composite material with piezoelectric properties that can turn motion into electrical energy. Piezoelectricity is created when the deformation of certain crystals is transformed into electricity. The technique has advantages when compared to traditional wind turbines since it is quiet and does not disturb wildlife. It is operable at low wind velocity since only a light breeze is sufficient for the straws to start swaying and generate energy. The existing premise on top of the building is replaced with a public floor with room for a restaurant. The new extension creates, apart from the energy producing shell, room for the citizens with the possibility to reach a lookout platform at the very top of the tower. Here you will be able to enjoy an unmatched view of Stockholm.


Boss (video gaming)
In video gaming, a boss is an enemy-based challenge (and a computer-controlled opponent in such a challenge). A fight with a boss character is commonly referred to as a boss battle or boss fight. Boss battles are generally seen at the climax of a particular section of the game, usually at the end of a stage or level, or guarding a specific objective, and the boss enemy is generally far stronger than the opponents the player has faced up to that point.


This is a wooden puzzle. The two parts lock together and you give it to a friend, asking him to unlock and separate the two parts. A friend in Germany made this one. When he handed it to me to solve, I could not until he showed me the secret. This Instructable will not only show how the puzzle is solved, but will also show how you can make these to give as gifts, especially at Christmas.
I have learned through a link by Make! Magazine that this is called a Duallock Cross Puzzle and it was invented by Nobuyuki Yoshigahara.
Step 1: How the parts appear separated
Here you see the two halves of the puzzle separated. Each half has a center notch and a hole below it. Internally, there are two holes in each with a piece of dowel pin that can move freely in each hole. The dowel pins are each a bit longer than the center notch. The center notch is the width of the wood's thickness on the parts. I will use some 3/4 inch clear pine.

Configure Workflow Steps, Transitions, and Attributes in the Back-Office
Each process or action applied to a record is called a workflow transition. On the interface, transitions are usually initiated when a user clicks the corresponding button or icon. There are two types of transitions:
 - Transitions that take a user from one state to another and connect to each step in the workflow.
 - Self-transitions that do not change steps in the workflow.
Every workflow has the Start transition that launches the workflow.
A transition can be defined as soon as there is at least one step besides Start. However, it is often simpler to define all workflow steps and then all the transitions between them.
Attributes are characteristics of the record. For example, a ZIP code and a street name are attributes of an address. In the course of each transition, you can change some attributes of the processed record.
A workflow may have configuration parameters (also known as variables). For example, the Alternative Checkout workflow includes reviewing of an order by an authorized person. This is usually required only for orders exceeding a certain amount, so the workflow's configuration parameter enables you to set an order subtotal limit that triggers the alternative checkout.
If enabled (see the section below), the workflow widget displays the process steps defined in workflow configuration on the record view page. Multiple workflow widgets can be displayed for one record at the same time.

Declares and allocates storage space for one or more variables.
The access level of a declared element is the extent of the ability to access it, that is, what code has permission to read it or write to it. This is determined not only by how you declare the element itself, but also by the access level of the element's container. Code that cannot access a containing element cannot access any of its contained elements, even those declared as Public. For example, a Public variable in a Private structure can be accessed from inside the class that contains the structure, but not from outside that class.


How to Make Clay Bricks and Tiles
Testing of Soil for Brick-Making:
 1. Get a handful of soil and add enough water to make it sticky.
 2. Mold it into balls and dry under the sun for 2 to 4 days.
 3. See whether the dried soil cracked or not. If it remains firm and hard the soil is clay.
 4. Test another one with this procedure.
Conduct another test by molding 4″ x 10″ x 2″ and burn with rice husk for one week. Good clay when dried by this method will sound metallic when tapped.
There are three (3) types of manufacturing methods for bricks:
 1. Soft-mud
 2. Soft-mud with repressing machine
 3. Mechanical method
Methods 1 and 2 are most suited for cottage industry. They are manually generated and require only a small capital.
Method 3 used machines for raw material processing and farming. Even if most of the machine can be made it still needs a big capital investment.
 1. Raw clay is left in the open for stock piling with a duration of about two (2) months or until the clay disintegrates through the action of sun and rain.
 2. The disintegrated clay is brought to the processing area. Sandy clay, plastic clay and sand are mixed in their proper proportions. Water is added to combine clay mixture.
 3. Knead either by hand or foot for about three (3) hours.
 4. After kneading, the clay should be aged for two (2) days to get a homogeneous mixture. Aging distributes its workability and lessening the possibility of cracking during drying and firing.
 5. Form the clay into a wooden mold.
 6. The formed bricks from the mold are then placed on a pallet and allowed to dry to leather hardness for not more than two (2) days.
 7. The leather hard bricks are retouched to remove the finger marks and scratches due to forming and handling. The retouching work can either be done by skillful hand manipulation or by machine for better and faster finishing.
 8. Retouched bricks are kept in the drying area until they are completely and uniformly dried. The drying takes about two (2) weeks during dry season and four (4) weeks on a rainy season.
 9. When dried, put the clay in improvised kiln. Arrange them loosely and pour rice hulls in between the spaces.
 10. Set fire from the bottom. Baking process takes one week.
Materials: clay, sand, water
Tools: shovel, hoe, pickax, strainer, wire #14, wooden scraper, wooden molds 10″ x5″ x12½", gas oven
 1. Dig soil, remove stones and waste with the use of strainer.
 2. Mix with: 25% water (1 part water in 4 parts of soil) and 10% sand (10 parts of sand in 10 parts of clay). Mix well.
 3. Put in molds, scrape excess.
 4. Remove molds and let dry bricks within 3 to 4 weeks at room temperature.
 5. Invert brick so it would not crack or form wrinkles.
 6. Preheat gas oven for 2 hours at 980°C.
 7. Arrange bricks alternately
 8. Bake for 16 hours.
 9. Cool before use.

Conditional Sentence Flow Chart
Conditional Sentences Flow Chart
Conditional sentences are hard to create when you are learning English. I created this conditional sentence flow chart to help you decide what conditional to use.
How To Use The Flow Chart
The instructions are as follows:
 - Take an activity like visiting Canada.
 - You ask yourself, "am I talking about a real possible thing?"
 - If the answer is yes, move to the real conditional side.
 - Then ask yourself, "Are you trying to express a past habit?"
 - If yes, then use the past real conditionals. If no, then move down the flow chart to the next question.
 - You continue this process until you have determined which conditional you use.
Here is a video to further explain how to use the flow chart.
Conditional Sentence Flow Chart
Conditional Sentence Flow Chart
The chart displays the following Conditionals:
 - Present Real Conditional
 - Past Real Conditional
 - Future Real Conditional
 - Present Unreal Conditional
 - Past Unreal Conditional
 - Future unreal Conditional
The chart also displays what is the form for each conditional as well as an example, so you know how to use it.
Final Thoughts
The flow chart is a great tool to help you to understand what conditional you want to use. Additional practice is always helpful so if you looking for some good practice for conditionals, you should check out this practice.
Let me know your thoughts.

Easiest Steps To Build A Face Filter App With Flutter and Deep AR
Face filter1.png Hello everyone, I'm excited to be sharing this article with you all.
At the end of this article, you will learn how to build a Face Filter App from scratch using Flutter and Deep AR.
So let start.
What is DeepAR?
DeepAR is a web platform that provides an SDK for Snapchat kind of 3D face filters, face lenses, and effects for any iOS, Android, Unity, or HTML5 app. The platform makes use of a technology called Augmented Reality (AR).
So what is Augmented Reality (AR)? Augmented Reality is a new technological system that allows introducing virtual contents and information onto the physical world as if they're actually there with you.
In other to build a Face Filter App from scratch using Flutter and Deep AR, you need to follow these simple steps below:
Step 1: Creating a new Flutter project.
You can create a flutter application using Visual Studio, IntelliJ, or Android studio.
After successfully creating a flutter project, Open "pubspec.yaml", and install the camera_deep_ar and path package.
 camera_deep_ar: ^0.0.1
Step 2: Create a Deep AR account.
Log on to _URL_ to create an account,
At the top right corner of the site click on "Sign Up", to create an account but if you have an account with Deep AR, click on "Log in".
1_0ujfcgCZNRC-9S2ZW9T8Og.png To "Sign Up" Deep AR only requires you to enter your email address and password.
1_0ujfcgCZNRC-9S2ZW9T8Og.png Once you have provided the necessary details required, Deep AR will send a link to the email address you provided while signing up.
1_bqi6oHADGEv_uQXYT0BzWw.png Click on the link sent to your email address and log into your Deep AR account.
1_bqi6oHADGEv_uQXYT0BzWw.png On successfully Log in, your Deep AR logged-in page will look like this image below.
Step 3: Creating a new Deep AR project.
To create a new Deep AR project, click on the + icon.

When done, click on the "Get Started" button to navigate to the next screen.
1_bqi6oHADGEv_uQXYT0BzWw.png Next, we are going to name our Deep AR project "Flutter_with_DeepAR", click on the "I agree to terms and conditions" option, and click on "Create Project" to complete the project creation process.
Congratulations, you have successfully created your very first Deep AR project.
Step 4: Adding Deep AR to your android app.
Click on the "Add android app" button
On the App name field, enter "flutter_with_deepar", while the App ID will be "com.promise.flutter_deepar".
Note: To get the App ID for your Flutter project, goto android >> app >> build.gradle and copy the applicationId.
android {
 defaultConfig {
 applicationId "com.example.myapp"
 minSdkVersion 15
 targetSdkVersion 24
 versionCode 1
 versionName "1.0"
1_bqi6oHADGEv_uQXYT0BzWw.png Click on "Create app" to complete the Deep AR configuration for the android app.
1_bqi6oHADGEv_uQXYT0BzWw.png Note: Your Android App key should be kept private.
Step 5: Modifying your Flutter project.
Add this rule to your proguard-rules.pro file, to do so goto android >> app >> and create a new file, the name should be proguard-rules.pro, add these rules to your created proguard-rules.pro file
-keepclassmembers class ai.deepar.ar.DeepAR { *; }
-dontwarn android.**
-keep class io.flutter.app.** { *; }
-keep class io.flutter.plugin.** { *; }
-keep class io.flutter.util.** { *; }
-keep class io.flutter.view.** { *; }
-keep class io.flutter.** { *; }
-keep class io.flutter.plugins.** { *; }
Modify your build.gradle file, do that goto android >> app >> build.gradle file
defaultConfig {
 applicationId "com.promise.flutter_deepar"
 // MinSdkVersion should be set to 19 or above
 minSdkVersion 19
 targetSdkVersion 29
 versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
 versionName flutterVersionName
buildTypes {
 release {
 signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
 // add the proguard-rules.pro to your build.gradle file
Note: The minSdkVersion for android should be 19 and above while for iOS it's 10 and above.
Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following permissions.

 android:required="true" />

Finally, Open your main.dart file and add this code below:
Test run your app using a physical device or an emulator.

Adjust for multiple comparisons by calculating a more stringent alpha value
The Bonferroni adjustment is a simple method for deterring increased experimentwise error rates when adjusting for multiple comparisons in applied statistics. Simply divide the alpha value, oftentimes set at.05, by the number of comparisons being conducted. For example, if you are comparing two independent groups on five different outcomes,.05/five comparisons = new Bonferroni corrected alpha value of.01. Research journals are requiring that adjustment for multiple comparisons be made before accepting manuscripts for publication, and the Bonferroni is a well-known and accepted methodology. Bonferroni is most commonly used when testing fewer outcomes that have been planned a priori.

An experimental new dieting technology uses augmented reality to make food items appear larger than they really are
In tests of the system using 12 subjects, the amount eaten dropped by about 10 percent when the food was made to appear one and a half times larger
A deformation algorithm makes users' hands appear to be opened wider, as if they're naturally holding the larger piece of food
You might think that your feeling of satiation when eating is due simply to your stomach filling up. According to the Hirose Tanikawa Group at the University of Tokyo, however, the visual perception of food also has something to do with it – the greater the amount of food that a person sees that they're eating, the sooner they feel full. With that in mind, the team has created a prototype dieting system that uses augmented reality to trick people into thinking their food items are larger than they actually are.

I've got a strange problem with our terminal servers. Here in the office we run two terminal servers that both employees inside the office at their workstations and outside the office at home and abroad connect to for work.
A user connected to a remote session on the terminal server from a workstation inside the same LAN can stay connected indefinitely until he/she terminates the connection, even if they sit idle for a while (which is how it should be).
However, it's a different story for users connecting from the outside WAN world. A WAN terminal server connection will be automatically terminated if they sit idle for a few minutes.
I tested this by moving my computer from inside our LAN to a DMZ, connecting it to an extra port on the router and thus going around the LAN so it's seen as a box from the WAN. Sure enough, my terminal services connection died after I sat idle for a few minutes. Rejoined the LAN, and it stayed connected indefinitely.
So what could cause this difference between WAN and LAN terminal services connections? How can I change things so that a user from the WAN can stay connected to our terminal servers without being booted for idle time?

Dear visitor,
About EGGER> Forestry> Forestry News> Road Infrastructure
What you need to think about when planning road infrastructure?
Road infrastructure is a huge capital cost
The decision to construct a road, whether large or small, within your forest requires very careful consideration. In most cases, road infrastructure represents the single largest capital cost outside of purchasing the forest or land.
In light of this, timing of when to start and how to phase a road building programme can require thorough planning in order to help both minimise the degree of financial exposure the forest owner will face as well as maximising the potential income from establishing infrastructure which should allow suitable access for operations such as establishment, tending and harvesting.
The design of the road needs careful thought. Access to allow for the uplift of harvested timber will require a road with a suitable firm construction to carry a maximum gross vehicle weight of 44 tonnes. Allowing for enough width to turn near the location of roadside timber and also allowing enough width on corners along the road are key to minimising the distance lorries need to run on as well as ensuring all road users remain safe when travelling. Some knowledge of the underlying geology, the soil structure and the location of available stone are essential.
Consideration also needs to be given to minimising the environmental impact of a new road. Factors such as managing watercourses, managing habitat and minimising the impact on local communities need to be given thought.
Over recent years, there has been a move towards lowering the impact caused by timber lorries within the forest through the use of systems such as Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) which allows the driver to reduce tyre pressure when travelling off the public road. Specific 'in-forest' haulage systems can also be used, which can consist of a simple 4-wheel drive tractor and trailer or something more specific, such as a purpose built unit capable of moving large quantities of timber out to a landing area close to the public road. Whilst there is usually an additional cost associated with running these systems, it can usually be offset by reducing the cost of ongoing road maintenance.

Revision as of 12:01, 19 January 2021
This is a Guide for creating icon themes for Inkscape 1.0+
What are multicolor icons?
From Inkscape 1.0 on, Inkscape icon sets can make use of 3 user-customizable highlight colors, plus a user definable base color (colors can be mixed and blended). A user can select the colors in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme: Display icons.
The stock multicolor icon theme was designed by Adam Belis. Most of its icons are based upon those contained in the hicolor symbolic icon theme.
Since Inkscape's switch to Gtk3, every icon is saved in a separate file. There are about 450 different icons used in Inkscape. When you're creating your own icon theme, you don't need to make a new one for each of those. Instead, you can base your changes on an existing icon theme (hicolor or Multicolor).
How does it work?
Gtk supports up to 4 classes of colors:.success,.warning and.error. Normally,.error is set to red,.warning is orange and.success is green. The default colors can be set in a CSS file in the theme's folder. Inside this file also there is.base color defined is foreground color and the background is transparent or widget background-color.
How to build a new set of icons: Practical Guide
Creating a new icon theme and setting its default colors
 1. Find the Inkscape data folder at Edit > Preferences > System: Inkscape data.
 2. Find you Inkscape user icon folder at Edit > Preferences > System: User icons.
 3. Open the folder icons in the Inkscape data folder.
 4. Copy the multicolor icon folder from there into your Inkscape user icon folder.
 5. Rename the new folder to your new name (for example, call it Super Cool Icons).
 6. Open the file index.theme in your new icon folder with a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and adjust the name and comment line there, too. Save the file.
 7. To set up your default colors:
 1. Open the file highlights.css in your new Super Cool Icons folder with your favorite text editor be careful only touch the color definition and dont add extra spaces, new lines or reindent...
 2. Adjust the hex color codes of the classes to your liking, e.g. if you want your.success class to be green, you will change it to #009909.
 3. You can copy hex colors from Inscape's Fill and Stroke dialog or use an online color chooser, e.g. _URL_.
 4. The.dark classes can be used to adjust your color scheme to dark themes.
 5. Save and close the highlights.css file.
 8. You can also come back and tweak the colors later, if you like.
Editing or creating your first icon
Now when you are happy with your colors, we can jump into icon editing:
 1. Think about how you want to use the three available colors for your theme, e.g. maybe you want to sort icons by functionality, placement, or any other attribute.
 2. Open any icon file in the folder symbolic/actions inside your Super Cool Icons folder with Inkscape 1.0.
 3. Open the dialog Object > Selectors and CSS. disabled in 1.0 but still accessible via shortcut Shift+Ctrl+Q
 4. Also open Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select the icon theme you have just created.
 5. Delete the current icon.
 6. Design your own icon on the same layer.
 7. To assign a color to a fill:
 1. Select the path.
 2. In the Selectors and CSS dialog, you will see 3 classes (.success,.warning,.error) (you may need to expand the dialog, or switch to vertical mode to be able to see them).
 3. Click on the + button next to the desired class, e.g. if you want the fill to be green (.success), you will click on + button next to.success.
 4. If you changed your mind and want a different class, you can click on the triangle behind the class name to expand the list of objects that use the class, and remove the class from the path by clicking on the x button.
 5. You need to add each path a class.success,.warning,.error trought XML Inspector
 8. To preview your new icon, save the icon file (Ctrl+S), and switch to a different theme, and then switch back to your new theme in the preferences to force a reload of the icon theme, or just toggle the 'dark theme' option twice.
 9. Now you can see how the icon looks when it is used in the Inkscape interface.
 10. Repeat the process 450 more times to finish your very own Super Cool Icons.
 11. Congratulation you did it! Dont forget to share your Super Cool Icons theme with the community on the Inkscape website.
Feature support
 - 3 solid fill colors (set by classes) + 1 base color
 - arbitrary opacity values (not alpha, but object opacity)
 - LPEs (live path effects)
 - clip masks
 - filters (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - embedded bitmaps (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - strokes with any color different from the theme base color
 - Workaround: add the 'Join type' LPE (it nondestructively converts strokes to paths)
 - gradients
 - Workaround: you can simulate linear gradients by creating multiple rectangles in a row and changing their opacity (0,10,20,30...), and then clipping this group with the shape you want to have a linear gradient.
you can simulate a radial gradient by adding circles increasing in size and decreasing in opacity. You can also simulate gradients by using blur on paths.
 - mesh gradients
 - blend modes
 - different colors than those set by.success,.warning and.error.
 - Workaround: you can create more than 4 colors by layering objects with lowered opacity. Create a duplicate of the path, then change the new path's opacity and select one of the color classes. E.g. use one object with the class.success at 30% opacity, placed on top of another object with an unset fill for a different shade of the.success color.
Best practices
 - Keep it all in one layer and do not change the name of the layer.
 - Keep in mind that the icons are going to be very small (16x16px), so use a grid for drawing to ensure crisp rendering. It seems like you need to use a 24x24 grid for icons inside SOME panels (alignment and distribution).
 - Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class.base will be used.
 - Try to keep the SVG file small and simple so it does not take a long time to render your icons (this can impact start up time).
 - Try to use discrete opacity values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100% to keep the SVG files small.
 - Use a low precision for your file's coordinates (maximally 0.xx). This includes node poritions, object transformations etc.).

For what it's worth, I read neuroscience literature occasionally and have taken a graduate class in it, and I can't recall ever seeing neurologic, though neurological is used often. I can't think of an instance where the meaning changes. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 5:52
Interesting. I work in Pharmacy & often see both. In newer materials, I feel as though I see neurologic much more frequently than neurological. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 5:54
After some more thought, I've probably seen neurologic disorder, though not as often as the other. Other places where neurological seems a bit wrong or clumsy, e.g., to modify pathways, neural or even neuronal come to mind as more apt and common (though the latter two have very slightly different meanings from each other). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:00
It might be a usage bias of mine (which is perhaps affecting my memory). I highly prefer to say neurological myself. I have also noticed that I habitually use morhpological instead of morphologic. But I don't say semantical or syntactical, so who knows. Maybe there's no method to my madness. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:05

In my experience with the medical community and scientific literature, neurological is a far more common adjective than neurologic. However, as far as I can tell, both words are equally correct when used to refer to the study of, or anything pertaining to, the nervous system. But a quick example might help to illustrate the relative prevalence of the two.
A pubmed.org search for scientific papers with titles containing neurological yields about 20,000 responses; an identical search for neurologic yields 10,000. By that token, neurological is twice as common as neurologic.
The bottom line is: you can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the research, it didn't occur to me to search for prevalence on pubmed. I think I have a personal preference for "neurologic" just because it is shorter. If the 2 words mean the same thing & "neurologic" saves space & keystrokes, why not use it? – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 6:45
_USER_: I'm not sure that "saving two keystrokes" is a good reason to choose one over the other. It might be best to do some additional research first – like this – and see if those in the field follow conventions. I believe you can go wrong – if, at a conference for neurologists, you pick one that's seldom used, or opt to save two keystrokes in the title of a paper, thereby taking a credibility hit. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:22
Searches on google (for lone words or phrases) return even wider disparities. If are curious about speakers' preferences, it occured to me that their prosodic patterns might play a role. This seems to hold true for my own case. It also could explain why you might find preferences varying depending on the surrounding words (when this isn't explained by something else like a phrase becoming fixed). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 8:23
Very cool J.R.! I didn't even know Google Ngram existed! I added "neurologic toxicity" & "neurological toxicity" to the search here & found that neurologic toxicity is more commonly used, so it appears to be context-specific. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 8:29
_USER_: A pubmed.org search for papers with neurological research in the abstract/title returned 142 papers, while those with neurologic research returned only 25. I won't argue that you're wrong, because I don't know enough about the subject, but I will point out that your bottom line seems like a hastily-drawn conclusion after so little research. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:41
As you point out, in the American Academy of Neurology Writing Styles And Standards Guide, available online at _URL_ there is the entry on page 11:
Neurologic vs. Neurological — The word neurologic is preferred to neurological when used as an adjective.
I don't think it gets any more authoritative in this field than that. It is a preference, a style decision.
For what it's worth, we use neurologic in our veterinary publications, too. We consider it a style decision. When we copyedit manuscripts, we change neurological to neurologic (unless the word is part of a cited reference title, of course.) Neither form is "wrong," it's just a preference, and we try to be consistent.
We also use, for example, endocrinologic instead of endocrinological and radiologic instead of radiological.
share|improve this answer
As I understand it, this is similar to the historic/historical situation.
Neurological is the adjective for the discipline of neurology - neurology-cal, and neurologic is the adjective for neural. The medical problems are neurologic diseases, possibly discovered by a neurological examination
Curiously, my unabridged Collins doesn't even list neurologic, but has neurological for both neural and neurology. Princeton Wordnet lists both, but with identical definitions.

I don't think you can make the distinction you make in your sentence with the links. You link to two different organizations' sites. They probably have chosen one over the other for their style. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:19
That is true only if you assume that the distinction is purely one of style. You describe the style guide below as not getting 'any more authoritative in this field than that', but I see style guides as being inherently un-authoritative, partly because they are frequently contradicted by academic writing (which I see as more authoritative), and partly because they invariably contradict each other. As they can't all be right, what grounds do you have for saying any particular one is the ultimate authority? – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 14:29
I do think it is a matter of style. And I think if you want to be in line with the "big dog" in a field, then in the field of neurology, the AAN is it. Your use of links from two different sources doesn't prove your assertion that one term is for the discipline and one is for the disease (or whatever your distinction between the terms was meant to be). It just shows that two different organizations chose different styles. If you search the Boston Children's Hospital site (your link for neurological examination), you'll also find "neurological disease" used. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:38
Interesting factoid: Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 30th Edition, doesn't list neurological at all. It just has neurologic: pertaining to neurology or to the nervous system. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:44
As I said earlier, Collins Unabridged has it the other way - they can't both be right. I agree that if you want to submit material you follow the style guide. The point I was making is that a style guide is not an academic authority that can be used as 'proof' of anything. – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 15:05

From the ancient Egyptians to modern times, naan and pita flatbreads have been a key source of carbohydrates. Pita breads date back more than 6000 years! Both of these traditional breads have evolved into new styles. These include pizzas and chapatis that keep people coming back for more. So what is the difference between naan and pita?
Naan vs pita: what are the differences?
Naan's origin is India, and it's common in south and west Asia, as well as the Caribbean. Pita originated in the middle east, yet is popular in eastern Mediterranean countries.
These two flatbreads, naan and pita are sometimes mistaken, but they're very different! Naan is thicker and more enriched making it softer. Pitas are a leaner flatbread that is ideal for stuffing with salads, falafel or kebab meat.
The 7 Things You're (Probably) Doing Wrong!

How are naans and pitas different?
The ingredients that go into the making of naan are:
Flour, water, yeast, milk, yogurt, oil or butter.
Often eggs, onion (nigella) seeds and Indian spices such as cumin are also included. After baking the naan is usually brushed with ghee. It's common for the flavour of naan breads to be enhanced with extra ingredients. Common combinations are:
- Garlic and coriander
- Keema (ground mutton, lamb and goat meat)
- Peshwari (sweetened coconut)
- Paneer Naan (Indian cheese)
Pita has way less ingredients in it. They consist of whole and white wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. Some producers include sugar and vegetable oil for flavour and to improve its shelf life.
Naan flatbread has a teardrop or oval shape. They are around 1-2 cm thick and have uneven pockets on the surface.
A Pita flatbread is more uniform. Its shape is more rounded, and when cut through the middle will open out into a pouch.
Both recipes are made using the same routine. They are mixed, kneaded and then left to rest for an hour or so. After the first rise they are divided into dough balls. The pitas will be flattened whereas naans will be left in ball shapes. After 30 minutes (or longer if left in the fridge), the breads are baked.
Naan is best cooked in a traditional clay or metal oven known as a tandoor. They origin from ancient Egyptian ovens. A tandoor will heat up around 480 degrees! The oven door is open so the baker slaps the round ball to the wall of the tandoor.
It can also be cooked at home using an iron skillet or a preheated baking stone placed under the grill.
When it comes to cooking Pita flatbread, a hot oven is used. They are baked at high temperatures for just a few minutes. This makes the dough pieces puff up. Once a slight browning appears on the crust the pitas are removed. As they cool they collapse into the flat bread we see in our stores.
How do they taste?
The addition of yoghurt, sugar and fat give naan breads a soft and more fluffy texture. Baking at a high heat for a short amount of time gives a soft crumb with a crust that's caramelized. Naan bread has more flavour as in most cases spices orextral flavourings are added.
This could be, because pita has been around a lot longer than naan, and that may explain the reason for the basic ingredients to it.
Pita has a dryer texture to it. The purpose of a pita bread is to hold the fillings and soak up juice. Pita breads are stronger, but don't really have a crumb. They are just crust on both sides with a hollow centre. They make a dish complete, but are not particularly exciting on their own.
Which one is easiest to make?
Pita bread tends to be easier to make, because it uses less ingredients. The cooking method doesn't require a special oven making the pita much easier to make.
What food to serve with a naan
Naan bread is usually eaten as an accompaniment to a curry. They also make a great mid-meal snack on their own. Although mainly found in India and Pakistan, it is likely to see naan breads with other cuisines.
- They can be eaten like a taco by dressing with chicken or lamb meat.
- Kids love them as a bed for grated cheese and a tomato sauce to turn it into a pizza.
- A chicken panini.
- Topped with cheese, potatoes, and eggs as a breakfast sandwich.
- I love them served with kebabs!
What food to eat with a pita
These can be filled with your preferred choice of sandwich ingredients or fillings. Or:
- Served with hummus or any kind of dipping sauce.
- Eaten as nachos.
- With kebab meat or falafel and salad
- Opening up the pita pocket, and packet with salad and your favourite salad dressing.
- Spread with peanut butter and filled with sliced up bananas, and apples.
- My son just likes grated cheese – poor guy…
What is healthier, Naan or Pita Bread?
When it comes to which one is healthier, it's a no brainer. Considering the ingredients that can go into the making of naan, pita is way more healthier than naan. It's lower in sugars, and it also has less fat, whereas naan is high in both fat and calories.
Naan vs Pita. Which one do I prefer?
It's a difficult one but I prefer naan breads to pita. They go great with two of my favourite dishes, kebab and tarka dhal. Delicious! I still like pita, but a naan offers just that little bit more. What is your favourite?

Recall that for some $f(x, y)$ to be a joint density function, two things must be satisfied:
 1. $f(x, y)$ must be non-negative for all $x, y$.
 2. The area under $f(x, y)$ must be 1.
The first part is easily satisfied by noting that $K$ must be non-negative.
The second part can be satisfied by setting the integral of $f(x, y)$ to 1:
$$\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x, y)\,\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y = 1$$
Which can be simplified to:
$$\int\limits_{0}^{1}\int\limits_{0}^{1}Kxy\,\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y = 1$$
At this point it shouldn't be difficult to solve for $K$.
For the $\max$ and $\min$ questions, you could observe that
$$\max(a, b) = \begin{cases}a\quad a\ge b,\\b\quad \mathrm{otherwise}.\end{cases}$$ $$\min(a, b) = \begin{cases}a\quad a\le b,\\b\quad \mathrm{otherwise}.\end{cases}$$
which ought to help.

Do you need to convert a bundle of file from HTM to PDF and set PDF producer? Are you looking for a good document converter, which can help you convert multiple HTM to PDF in a quick and accurate way? Do you want to save your precious time? If so, you should click VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line to download and install VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line right away. Because with the help of VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line, you can only take three steps to batch convert HTM to PDF and batch set PDF producer. The following will show you how to solve your problem via command.
1. Run the command prompt window
2. Type a
Usually, when you only have one file to convert from HTM to PDF and to set PDF producer, theshould include the following four essential items in order: the directory of the executable file, the command which can be used to set PDF producer, the directory of the input file and the directory of the output file. However, if you have a lot of documents to convert from HTM to PDF and to set PDF producer, you may need to use the wildcard * to replace the file name in the command line. Speaking of the command, -producer , which can be used to set PDF producer. The angle brackets are used to enclose essential contents. string refers to character string. And the character string must be enclosed by quotation marks "" in the command line. Taking the following command line as an example, it can be used to set PDF producer as "hello" and convert HTM to PDF in batch
D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe -producer "hello" D:\in\*.htm D:\*.pdf
- D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe ----The directory of the executable file. It shows that the executable file in placed in the folder called htmltools on disk D.
- -producer "hello" ---- the command which set "hello" (without quotation marks) as the new created PDF's producer.
- D:\in\*.htm ---- the directory of the input files. It means that all the HTM files in the folder in on disk D should be the input files.
- D:\*.pdf ---- the directory of the output files. It leads the computer to store all the result files converted from HTM to PDF on disk D.
3. Press "Enter"
Once you press "Enter" on the keyboard, the computer will begin to batch set PDF producer and batch convert HTM to PDF without delay. When you see "result =OK" displayed in the command prompt window, it means that one file has been converted from HTM to PDF. Then you can open the PDF Properties dialog box to view the result.

Intermittence fault is a known problem in aircraft due to a large number of electrical wire and complex systems that make an aircraft. Newer aircraft have more computer-based system which has even more wiring than legacy aircraft.
Why aircraft intermittences are so difficult to detect?
Finding a problem in a bundle of wire-harness is a complex challenge. Sporadic intermittences that appear in mid-air are detected and reported by pilots. Once the aircraft is back on the ground these intermittences are difficult, if not impossible for technicians to replicate. Aircraft vibration can not easily be replicated, and many times the intermittences happen in fractions of milliseconds.
Therefore, problems observed in mid-air can not easily be replicated on the ground. Technicians rely on ohmmeters to run conductivity testing, selecting line by line, looking for the problem. The tool of choice, a multimeter, is set up to find transients with millisecond accuracy. There are two challenges with this approach:
- Harnesses are interconnected systems of multiple wires, and a multimeter is only capable of testing one wire at a time.
- It is possible that the transients occur in less than a millisecond, undetectable by the multimeter.
Problems observed in mid-air can not easily be replicated on the ground.
Hence, the multimeter works to detect open circuits, which is considered hard or semy hard intermittences. But not accurate enough to detect random sporadic intermittences at low-level noise or micro-breaks.
New technology has emerged. It takes into consideration all electrical lines by testing each line simultaneously with a nanosecond accuracy in a closed-loop environment. This technology uses a hardware version of a neural network, in which signals are sent to each node combining all feedback back to the analyzer. Then, the system could be checked as a whole, and not each line separately, creating the necessary environment to detect any fault.
New technology has emerged. It takes into consideration all electrical lines by testing each line simultaneously with a nanosecond accuracy in a closed-loop environment.
The United States Department of Defense is one of the early adopters of this technology that tests LRU, by extending the mission capability of their fleet and reducing operating costs.
GE-90 Wire Harness Case Study
We have identified by Boeing 777 operators that the GE-90 115B engine typically shows intermittency problems in the wire harness. Our engineer group along with the team at Universal Synaptics developed an interface, to connect the bundle of wires into the IFD (portable).
The complexity of this task can only be solved by sending simultaneous pulses at a nanosecond speed through all cables simultaneously. The IFD (portable) connects in series with the wire harness and detects any possible anomaly.
This report shows the results of the test. GE 90 complex cables IFD Universal Synaptics
