text: Because switched system with nonlinear subsystems shows great difficulties in controller design by conventional methodologies, the fuzzy logic theory, which has been proven to be a practical and effective way to deal with the analysis and synthesis problems for complex nonlinear systems, is applied to design a class of hybrid fuzzy controller for switched discrete-time fuzzy system in this paper. On a basis of one step prediction of switching signal, a hybrid parallel distributed compensation (PDC) control strategy is proposed, which includes two necessary parts: the state feedback controllers for subsystems and the update feedback controllers for switching instants. In both arbitrary and dwell-time switching cases investigated, it is proved that the hybrid PDC controller contains less conservativeness than conventional switched PDC controller. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

gcov-tool-7: offline gcda profile processing tool
gcov-tool - offline gcda profile processing tool

Current gcov-tool supports the following functionalities:
merge two sets of profiles with weights.
read one set of profile and rewrite profile contents. One can scale or normalize the count values.
Examples of the use cases for this tool are:
Collect the profiles for different set of inputs, and use this tool to merge them. One can specify the weight to factor in the relative importance of each input.
Rewrite the profile after removing a subset of the gcda files, while maintaining the consistency of the summary and the histogram.
It can also be used to debug or libgcov code as the tools shares the majority code as the runtime library.
Note that for the merging operation, this profile generated offline may contain slight different values from the online merged profile. Here are a list of typical differences:
histogram difference: This offline tool recomputes the histogram after merging the counters. The resulting histogram, therefore, is precise. The online merging does not have this capability --- the histogram is merged from two histograms and the result is an approximation.
summary checksum difference: Summary checksum uses a CRC32 operation. The value depends on the link list order of gcov-info objects. This order is different in gcov-tool from that in the online merge. It's expected to have different summary checksums. It does not really matter as the compiler does not use this checksum anywhere.
value profile counter values difference: Some counter values for value profile are runtime dependent, like heap addresses. It's normal to see some difference in these kind of counters.
Merge two profile directories.
-o directory
--output directory
Set the verbose mode.
-w w1,w2
--weight w1,w2
Set the merge weights of the directory1 and directory2, respectively. The default weights are 1 for both.
Read the specified profile directory and rewrite to a new directory.
-n long_long_value
--normalize
Normalize the profile. The specified value is the max counter value in the new profile.
-o directory
--output directory
Set the output profile directory. Default output name is rewrite_profile.
-s float_or_simple-frac_value
--scale float_or_simple-frac_value
Scale the profile counters. The specified value can be in floating point value, or simple fraction value form, such 1, 2, 2/3, and 5/3.
Set the verbose mode.
Compute the overlap score between the two specified profile directories. The overlap score is computed based on the arc profiles. It is defined as the sum of min (p1_counter[i] / p1_sum_all, p2_counter[i] / p2_sum_all), for all arc counter i, where p1_counter[i] and p2_counter[i] are two matched counters and p1_sum_all and p2_sum_all are the sum of counter values in profile 1 and profile 2, respectively.
Print function level overlap score.
Print full gcda filename.
Only print info for hot objects/functions.

Can Solar Backpacks Get Wet?
Before investing in a good piece of gear like a solar backpack, it makes sense that you want to make sure it will hold up. There are a lot of different rumors, stories, and claims about how solar backpacks handle water. This article is here to answer all of your questions on the topic.
Solar backpacks are water resistant, but not waterproof. The solar panels will not be damaged from water or rain. So it's perfect fine for solar backpacks to get wet, but as with any pack you don't want an exposed electronic charging when the rain is pouring down and you're soaked.
raindrops on solar panel
Solar Power Must Be Weather Resistant
Considering that solar power by definition needs to be used outdoors, it seems odd to me that so many people wonder if solar backpacks can handle rain.
Solar backpacks are just as durable as your average backpack and many times even more so. While no backpack is likely to be 100% waterproof, solar packs are almost certainly going to be water-resistant.
KEY POINT: Basically questions about solar backpacks usually revolve around how the panels hold up. Solar panels themselves are waterproof, resilient, and designed to get through any weather!
That being said, it is important to take certain precautions. In the same way you wouldn't just jam your laptop into a backpack with no raincoat or protective poncho over the top when it was pouring rain outside, you should take all precautions when using a solar pack.
That has to do with water soaking through backpack material, not whether a pack is solar or not.
As for charging electronics while going through rain, if you have a full cover poncho so no rain is getting through then you should be fine.
Believe it or not, the solar backpacks are still pulling in solar energy during cloudy or rainy weather.
The amount being pulled in is much lower than on a sunny day, but the panels are still working to pull what little energy they can even during inclement weather.
This is a pleasant surprise for many people, as is finding out that portable solar panels can charge via LED lights indoors.
But the solar panels you will find on modern backpacks are designed to go through the wear and tear that they will see through everyday life and use.
Solar Power Made Practical Use
Solar power backpacks are meant to be reliable. Because of the long-time negative news campaigns run against solar power decades ago, there's an unfair (and normally not true) perception of solar as being unreliable.
Which means solar gear needs to work at a higher standard just to get the benefit of the doubt.
So when people ask are solar backpacks reliable the answer needs to be far more enthusiastic than a tepid yes.
This is why many items that are solar powered are built as good or even better than the standard non-solar equivalents.
Your solar backpack will be fine in the rain as long as you take the regular precautions you would with any other backpack.
Quality of Backpack Matters
As with regular backpackers, the quality of the brand of backpack you buy matters when seeing how well your solar backpack will function and hold up.
If you pay for cheap you will get cheap.
The top brand solar backpacks are exceptional. There are even companies that really focus on making solar packs for hikers and backpackers. Obviously these must be able to hold up against inclement weather.
The chances of hiking for three months without getting caught in the rain are going to be next to nothing.
Unless you're doing a desert hike, in which case you wouldn't be worrying about how rain proof or water resistant your pack is.
But if you go with a quality solar backpack, you won't have to worry about that.
We talk about some of our favorite picks for solar backpacks in the "Are solar backpacks reliable?" that we linked to a bit further up.
If you're lazy the picks basically are (with links to up to date Amazon listings):
A good solar backpack will be water resistant and the solar paneling will be just fine no matter how much the water comes down.
How Resilient Solar Panels Are in Storms: A Personal Experience
We survived the horrific Derecho in Cedar Rapids, IA back in 2020. To put the short summary, including those asking "What the heck is a Derecho?" Imagine a category 3 hurricane at full force for two to three hours slamming into the middle of the Midwest of the United States.
A place not exactly known for hurricanes, to put it mildly.
The city was smashed, and large chunks had no power for three weeks. Virtually every house within five blocks had roof damage. At least the ones that still had roofs.
Ours was undamaged. Even the "I don't know how much I trust that structure much less roof" garage (which also has some solar panels on it).
Those solar panels were like Viking shields. Terrifying new weather condition unlike any ever seen in Iowa's history?
Wind, rain, giant tree branches, the panels couldn't care less.
Granted – those are full scale solar panels for homes and buildings versus the smaller portable solar panels put onto backpacks.
But it goes to show that solar panels in all their forms aren't considered about rain, sleet, or snow.
If this seems amazing keep in mind they have already developed solar panels that harvest additional energy from rain drops.
As anyone who has watched solar grow over the past 20 years, the technology is only going to continue to get better and better.
The Verdict: Solar Backpacks Work Well in Rain
The only major difference between solar backpacks and regular packs is that the solar packs give you the option of harnessing solar power in order to charge electronics like smartphones, laptops, or tablets.
These will be just as water resistant as most well built backpacks while helping you to keep important electronics charged even when you're a long way from the nearest charging port.
As long as you stay with the proven dependable solar backpack brands you can rest easy knowing that your solar backpack will function just fine in the rain.
Hi, I'm Shane! I've always felt a passion for two worlds: one in technology and one for the great oudoors away from it. The amazing advances in solar power in my lifetime have really opened up the possibilities, and both my brother and I are deeply passionate about where solar power meets outdoor gear!

Record WLST Scripts
To help automate the task of configuring a domain, you can record your configuration actions in the Administration Console as a series of WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) commands and then use WLST to replay the commands.
WLST is a command-line scripting environment that you can use to create, manage, and monitor WebLogic Server domains. It is installed on your system when you install WebLogic Server.
The Administration Console does not record WLST commands for the following:
The main steps for recording WLST scripts are as follows:
 1. (Optional) Specify the name of the file in which you want to record WLST commands and set other preferences. See Set Preferences for WLST Recording.
 While setting preferences, you can specify WLST commands that the Administration Console inserts before and after the commands that you record. For example, you can insert a series of commands that connect WLST to an Administration Server and append commands that terminate the connection. Unless you add such commands, you cannot run your recorded commands as a WLST script.
 For examples of WLST scripts, see WLST Online Sample Scripts.
 2. Start WLST Recording.
 You cannot remove or undo a command once it has been recorded. Instead, you can edit the script file after you stop recording or you can set your preferences to overwrite the script file and re-record the commands.
 3. (Optional) View the commands that have been recorded. See View Recorded Commands.
 4. Stop WLST Recording.
 If you choose the Append To File preference, you can start and stop recording several times before moving to the next steps.
 5. If you record commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes (such the password for a server's Java Standard Trust keystore), the Administration Console creates two files in addition to the script file: a user configuration file that contains the encrypted data and a key file that contains the key used to encrypt the data. Use the file system to limit read and write access to the key file. Users who can read the key file can read all of the encrypted data that you recorded.
 The key file and user configuration files are created in the same directory as the recorded script file and are named recording-fileConfig and recording-fileSecret where recording-file is the name of the recorded script file.
 6. (Optional) Open the script file in a text editor and modify the recorded commands. You specify the name and location of the script file when you set your recording preferences.
 7. Run the script in WLST. When you use WLST to run the commands, WLST must be connected an Administration Server. See Main Steps for Using WLST for more information.
 If you recorded commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes, the user configuration and key files must be in the same directory as the script file. If you move the script file, you must also move the user configuration and key files. Only the key file that was used to encrypt the data can be used to unencrypt the data.

How MongoDB balance your data?
migration_steps3We have already studied the chunk concept What is a MongoDB chunk? and also how MongoDB splits it when grows beyond the maximum size established by default Four steps to split a MongoDB chunk. At this post we are going to study the steps that MongoDB follows to balance our cluster.
The first thing we must know is that we choose the data to balance in our shards. So, we decide the collections to divide. You can read at this post Two steps to shard a MongoDB collection how to split a collection.
The balancing process does not disturb the normal cluster work, it is a background process. There is only one migration at a time, per cluster, in order to do not overload it. Therefore, only two shards will be working on (its primaries). If we do not change the by default chunk size, 64MB, this is the maximum amount of data that MongoDB will migrate at a time. This is a size so big so that there will not be too much migrations, and at the same time, it is little in order to do not overload our database.
Balancing round
Any of the mongos can begin a round balancing, but only can be an active one at a time. So, the mongos must check this through the locks collection at the configdb.
Only when the value equals 0 the mongos can begin the balancing round.
Is the cluster balanced?
The mongos checks the number of chunks per shard and decides whether the collection/collections is balanced. At this post What is a MongoDB chunk? I explain how MongoDB determines this. When the collection is not balanced the balancer will move the necessary chunks to get it. When the migration has been finished the mongos will update the locks collection and the round balancer will be finished.
Does the chunk need to be split?
Ok, the collection is not well balanced. The mongos will choose a chunk to move it to another shard. How MongoDB chooses this chunk is studied at this post What is a MongoDB chunk?
Before moving the chunk the mongos asks the shard which owns it (shard FROM) if this is too big and must be split.
The balancing begins
The mongos orders to the shard FROM that begins the transfer, but before beginning this shard makes sure that it is not removing data from a chunk previously migrated.
Please, read this chunk
The shard FROM asks shard TO (shard chunk destination) to read the chosen chunk to been migrated.
The transfer begins
The chunk belongs to shard FROM until the transfer will be finished. Until then, there can be write operations on this chunk that must also be transferred to shard TO.
The transfer ends
The FROM TO (Alex, thanks for your input) shard updates the chunk migration at the config servers.
The transferred data is deleted
The shard FROM begins to delete the data that has been moved.
The cache is refreshed
The mongos refreshes its cache. The remaining mongos will look for this data at the shard FROM and will get an STALE CONFIG EXCEPTION. This will cause them to read the metadata at the config servers for refreshing its cache. The clients will not realize it.
I wish that this post helps you to understand how MongoDB chooses the chunks to move between shards and the steps it follows for balancing the cluster. Please, if you read something wrong or something is omitted do not hesitate to use the comments. We will learn each other.

How to Tell If a Ceiling Fan Is Broken
John Smith
Like any appliance, ceiling fans wear out and eventually have to be replaced. When a ceiling fan is broken, it means it does not operate correctly. Some ceiling fans become broken beyond repair and need to be replaced. This particularly applies to fans with burned-out motors. Other ceiling fans can be fixed if only part of the fan is broken. A broken fan can be a safety (or fire) hazard. Look (or listen) for some obvious signs that a fan is broken.
 1. Check for electrical problems if the ceiling fan does not turn or does not make any noise at all. If it's not an electrical problem, the fan almost certainly has to be replaced,
 2. Notice if the fan produces a burning smell. A fan that smells may very well have a motor and ball bearings that are permanently damaged.
 3. Look to see if the blades turn normally. Blades that turn very slowly, or take longer than usual to begin to spin, are signs the motor and the fan are probably broken beyond repair.
 4. Listen for clicking or scraping noises. The source of the noises can be the result of many things, including a broken (or bent) blade. A blade that is warped can also create a noise and cause the fan to shake badly.
 5. Look to see if the fan has a severe wobble or shake. Some of these problems can be corrected by balancing the blades, but they can also indicate part of the fan is broken.
 6. Listen for a humming noise. A humming noise will often go away on its own, or could indicate a problem with the fan's motor.
 7. Know that some ceiling fans are "lemons'' like any other appliances. Fans can be broken in transit and simply need to be replaced.

Bounded mean oscillation
In harmonic analysis, a function of bounded mean oscillation, also known as a BMO function, is a real-valued function whose mean oscillation is bounded (finite). The space of functions of bounded mean oscillation (BMO), is a function space that, in some precise sense, plays the same role in the theory of Hardy spaces Hp that the space L∞ of essentially bounded functions plays in the theory of Lp-spaces: it is also called John–Nirenberg space, after Fritz John and Louis Nirenberg who introduced and studied it for the first time.

According to Nirenberg (1985, p. 703 and p. 707), the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation was introduced by John (1961, pp. 410–411) in connection with his studies of mappings from a bounded set Ω belonging to ℝn into ℝn and the corresponding problems arising from elasticity theory, precisely from the concept of elastic strain: the basic notation was introduced in a closely following paper by John & Nirenberg (1961), where several properties of this function spaces were proved. The next important step in the development of the theory was the proof by Charles Fefferman of the duality between BMO and the Hardy space H1, in the noted paper Fefferman & Stein 1972: a constructive proof of this result, introducing new methods and starting a further development of the theory, was given by Akihito Uchiyama.
- |Q| is the volume of Q, i.e. its Lebesgue measure
- uQ is the average value of u on the cube Q, i.e.
Note. The use of cubes Q in ℝn as the integration domains on which the mean oscillation is calculated, is not mandatory: Wiegerinck (2001) uses balls instead and, as remarked by Stein (1993, p. 140), in doing so a perfectly equivalent of definition of functions of bounded mean oscillation arises.
BMO functions are locally p–integrable
BMO functions are locally Lp if 0 < p < ∞, but need not be locally bounded.
BMO is a Banach space
The supremum of the mean oscillation is called the BMO norm of u and is denoted by ||u||BMO (and in some instances it is also denoted ||u||*). The function ||u||BMO becomes a norm on BMO functions after quotienting out by the constant functions (which have BMO norm 0).
Averages of adjacent cubes are comparable
As the name suggests, the mean or average of a function in BMO shouldn't oscillate very much when computing it over cubes close to each other in position and scale. To be more precise, if Q and R are dyadic cubes such that their boundaries touch and the sidelength of Q is no less than one-half the sidelength of R, then
where C>0 is some universal constant. This property is, in fact, equivalent to f being in BMO, that is, if f is a locally integrable function such that |fR-fQ|≤C for all dyadic cubes Q and R adjacent in the sense described above, then f is in BMO and its BMO norm is proportional to the constant C.
The John–Nirenberg Inequality
The John–Nirenberg Inequality is an estimate that governs how far a function of bounded mean oscillation may deviate from its average by a certain amount.
There are constants c1,c2 > 0 such that whenever f ∈ BMO(ℝn), then for any cube Q in ℝn,
Conversely, if this inequality holds over all cubes with some constant C in place of ||f||BMO, then f is in BMO with norm at most a constant times C.
A consequence: the distance in BMO to L∞
The John-Nirenberg inequality can actually give more information than just the BMO norm of a function. For a locally integrable function f, let A(f) be the infimal A>0 for which
The John–Nirenberg inequality implies that A(f)≤C||f||BMO for some universal constant C. For an L∞ function, however, the above inequality will hold for all A>0. In other words, A(f)=0 if f is in L∞. Hence the constant A(f) gives us a way of measuring how far a function in BMO is from the subspace L∞. This statement can be made more precise: there is a constant C, depending only on the dimension n, such that for any function f ∈ BMO(ℝn) the following two-sided inequality holds
Generalizations and extensions
The spaces BMOH and BMOA
When the dimension of the ambient space is 1, the space BMO can be seen as a subspace of harmonic functions on the unit disk and plays a major role in the theory of Hardy spaces: by using definition 2, it is possible to define the BMO(T) space on the unit circle as the space of functions such that
unit disk is said to belong to the Harmonic BMO or in the BMOH space if and only if it is the Poisson integral of a BMO(T) function. Therefore BMOH is the space of all functions u with the form:An Analytic function on the
equipped with the norm:
The subspace of analytic functions belonging BMOH is called the Analytic BMO space or the BMOA space.
BMOA as the dual space of H1(D)
Charles Fefferman in his original paper proved that the real BMO space is dual to the real valued harmonic Hardy space on the upper half-space ℝn×. Today in the theory of Complex and Harmonic analysis the following - modern - approach for analytic functions, is more often considered. Let Hp(D) be the Analytic Hardy space on the unit Disc. For p = 1 we identify (H1)* with BMOA by pairing f ∈H1(D) and g ∈ BMOA using the anti-linear transformation Tg
Notice that although the limit always exists for an H1 function f and Tg is an element of the dual space (H1)*, since the transformation is anti-linear, we don't have an isometric isomorphism between (H1)* and BMOA. However one can obtain an isometry if they consider a kind of space of conjugate BMOA functions.
The space VMO
The space VMO of functions of vanishing mean oscillation is the closure in BMO of the continuous functions that vanish at infinity. It can also be defined as the space of functions whose "mean oscillations" on cubes Q are not only bounded, but also tend to zero uniformly as the radius of the cube Q tends to 0 or infinity. The space VMO is a sort of Hardy space analogue of the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity, and in particular the real valued harmonic Hardy space H1 is the dual of VMO.
The Dyadic BMO space
Let Δ denote the set of dyadic cubes in ℝn. The space dyadic BMO, written BMOd is the space of functions satisfying the same inequality as for BMO functions, only that the supremum is over all dyadic cubes. This supremum is sometimes denoted ||•||BMOd.
This space is contained in but still distinct from BMO as it depends greatly on the position of the dyadic cubes. In particular, the function log(x)χ[0,∞) is a function that is in dyadic BMO but not in BMO. However, if a function f is such that ||f(•-x)||BMOd≤C for all x in ℝn for some C>0, then by the one-third trick f is also in BMO.
Although dyadic BMO is a much narrower class than BMO, many theorems that are true for BMO are much simpler to prove for dyadic BMO, and in some cases one can recover the original BMO theorems by proving them first in the special dyadic case.
Examples of BMO functions include the following:
- All bounded (measurable) functions. If f is in L∞, then ||f||BMO≤2||f||∞: however, the converse is not true as the following example shows.
- The function log(|P|) for any polynomial P that is not identically zero: in particular, this is true also for |P(x)|=|x|.
- If w is an A∞ weight, then log(w) is BMO. Conversely, if f is BMO, then eδf is an A∞ weight for δ>0 small enough: this fact is a consequence of the John-Nirenberg Inequality.

The Gmail doesn't respond, and the user fails to send the message, and error is shown on the user's screen "server error encountered..". We have figured different causes of why the Gmail Error 007 occurs and ways to resolve it. So, you can look at the solutions mentioned below.
Howw to Fix Gmail Server Error 007
Don't worry; there are easy fixes to solve the Gmail server error 007. So, to fix the error, follow the below solutions:
1. Clear Cookies and Cache
Clearing the Cache and Cookies from Chrome is a straightforward process and can help you to fix Gmail Server Error 007. So, follow the below-given steps to clear out cookies and cache:
Step 1: At first, click on the three dots at the top, on the right side of your browser window. After that, click on Settings.
Step 2: Settings tab will appear. Now, scroll down until you find Show Advanced Settings option and then click on it.
Step 3: The next step is to click on the Content Settings option under the section Privacy and security.
Step 4: Now, click on the Cookies option. Now, under the section Cookies, click on See all cookies and site data.
Step 5: At last, click on the button. Clear Data and then the Done button.
Now check if the Gmail error 007 resolves or not.
2. Disable Browser's Extensions
Extensions can cause the Gmail Server Error 007, in case you have installed extensions just before getting the error 007. Also, if you have not installed any extension, the already existing extension can cause failure. Maybe the extension needs to be updated. So, by disabling the extension, you can fix the error. Follow the below steps to fix error:
Step 1: At first, open your Google Chrome. Now, click on the three dots at the top, on the right side of your browser window.
Step 2: After that, click on More tools and then select the option Extensions.
Step 3: The last step is to Disable all your extensions.
Now, if the error resolves, it means one of the extensions is causing the Gmail Server Error 007.
3. Disable Background Send
Another reason for Gmail Server Error 007 is that 'Background send' is not disabled. Background send means even you have exited from your Gmail window; your account continues to send an email that may cause server error. So, to disable it follow the below easy steps:
Step 1: Start with Signing in your Gmail account.
Step 2: Now, click on the gear type icon present at the top on the right side of the window.
Step 3: Next is to click on Settings and then search for the Lab tab.
Step 4: Look for Background send and click to Disable it.
After looking at the reports sent in by the users, this solution usually works for 95% of the time, and then you can freely send any email to anyone in the world without the need to worry about the Gmail Server Error 007.
4. Check for Browser Update and Virus
Another reason for Gmail Server Error is viruses in your system. Virus degrade the performance of your system and also harm the system. So, it's better to scan your system regularly for viruses. Hence, you always need to have an Antivirus Program in your system to protect it from harm.
The browser also needs to be up-to-date. Thus, whenever an update is received, you should update your browser for its proper functioning. Although Chrome updates automatically, but make sure it is up-to-date. In the case of any other browser, go to the browser's settings window and look for a 'check for updates' option.
Tips to Solve "Oops… a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#007)"
If you have tried all the above-mentioned methods and still you got nothing. These few google technicians have encountered cases when none of the previous remedies seem to work.
1. As mentioned above, you need to disable the "Background send" lab, and if you have already done it. You just need to wait some time for it actually to come into practice.
2. Moreover, you can also try to restart and refresh your web browser page to get rid of the error. The background sends lab settings that are actually disabled.
3. The executing files may or may not harm your computer. So, you should always check for any kind of bug or virus in the files. Nevertheless, make sure that the trojan you are dealing with is the Gmail error 007. There is a time when we have similar problems. But, they have different causes and solutions.
4. However, if you are able to use the same account that you are using on your PC to send emails but on some other device. Then this means that your Gmail is working perfectly fine, but there is some issue with your PC.
5. Make sure that you are sending an email to someone, and you have some attached files along with it. Make sure that its limit is under 25MB. Else, the mail will report an error.
How to Prevent Gmail Server Error 007
Not to mention, if this problem is not resolved even after following the above-mentioned steps, you need to ensure some additional safety measures for the proper functioning of this application on your PC.
1: Make sure that you are using the updated web browser because sometimes using an older browser may cause some problems.
2: In order for the smooth and fast working of your PC, you should definitely delete all of your cache and the cookies on your PC.
3: Moreover, you can also disable the add-ons present on your web browser along with the browser extensions.
4: After completing the above steps, you should close your browser and then try re-opening it.
5: Then, you can try to open the Gmail application without any labs.
6: Lastly, you should also make sure that your virus scanner is disabled. And if the 007 server error is gone after this step, you should try and contact the parent company of the anti-virus that is used on your computer, and they may guide you better regarding this error.
Gmail Server Error 007 can easily be resolved by following the above solutions. Also, try closing your browser window and relaunching it to fix the error. Some sites ask to install their software. However, this is not authentic, so do not fall off their trap. As there can be some Trojan or Malware in their software that may hack your server. This can delete your personal data or even access it. So, try to avoid such fake sites that make such claims.

Analysis of European style copper lamp
by：EME LIGHTING 2020-01-23
Modern European style; Also known as neoclassical style;. Modern European-style all-copper lamp design style, from simple to complicated, from the whole to the part, finely crafted, inlaid with flowers and gold, gives a meticulous impression. On the one hand, it retains the general style of all-copper lamp materials and colors, making people feel the historical traces of stealing tradition and the rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration of all-copper lamps and simplifies the lines. The modern European style of copper lamps is more like a diversified way of thinking, combining the romantic feelings of nostalgia with the needs of modern people for life, compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, it reflects the personalized aesthetic viewpoint and cultural taste in the post-industrial era. 1, the shape is scattered; It is the main feature of modern European copper lamp style. While paying attention to the decorative effect, modern techniques and materials are used to restore the classical temperament of all-copper lamps. The neoclassical style all-copper lamps have both classical and modern aesthetic effects, the perfect combination also gives people spiritual comfort while enjoying material civilization. 2, stress style, all copper lamps in the design is not antique, nor retro but the pursuit of similarity. 3. Use simplified methods, modern materials and processing techniques to pursue the general outline characteristics of traditional all-copper lamps. 4. All-copper lamps pay attention to the decorative effect. Indoor furnishings are used to enhance the historical context. Classical facilities, furniture and furnishings are often copied to set off the indoor environment atmosphere. 5. White, gold, yellow and dark red are the common main colors in European style. A small amount of white is mixed to make the color look bright.

A coworker has been tasked with adding check-in and check-out functionality from within an InfoPath 2010 form. Is this possible?
This is a typical use case:
 1. User is browsing a SharePoint Form Library and wants to edit a form
 2. User forgets to checkout form before opening the form in the browser
 3. User wants to edit form immediate without going back to SP UI to check-out document manually.
 4. User clicks on an 'edit' button we've added to the form which sets all fields to editable. This should also check-out the form from SharePoint.
 5. User goes about editing the document, and clicks submit (another custom button, from what I understand). At this point the form is submitted and should be checked-in to Sharepoint.
Is any of this possible?

1 Answer 1
There is an option in List Advanced Settings to require check-out to edit a document. This would solve the problem of the user forgetting. I am not sure you can check-out the document once it is open but it can be done a few ways:
 - sandbox code-behind in the InfoPath form

Background: There is a recognized need to deliver oral health information to people during clinical encounters to enable them to develop personal skills in managing their own oral health. Traditional approaches to individual oral health education have been shown to be largely ineffective and new approaches are required to address personal motivations for preventive behaviour. This systematic review aims to identify and assess the effectiveness of behaviour models as a basis for individual oral health promotion.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched for articles evaluating the effectiveness of health behaviour models in oral and general health between 2000 and 2007. Eighty-nine studies were retrieved and data were extracted from the 32 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
Results: Thirty-two studies were identified in the fields of clinical prevention and health education, motivational interviewing (MI), counselling, and models based interventions. MI interventions were found to be the most effective method for altering health behaviours in a clinical setting.
Conclusions: There is a need to develop an effective model for chairside oral health promotion that incorporates this evidence and allows oral health professionals to focus more on the underlying social determinants of oral disease during the clinical encounter. There is potential to further develop the MI approach within the oral health field.


In'swine production' (pig farming), the verb 'Farrow' means to give birth to pigs. Needless to say, farrowing is something that only sows do.
The noun farrow means 'a litter of piglets'.
This is an interesting contrast when compared to its definition in regards to cattle farming, where it means a cow is 'not in calf', that is, not pregnant.

How to become a smart meter installer (with job FAQs)
Updated 25 May 2023
Smart meters give customers the ability to monitor and adjust their energy use in real-time, allowing them to save money by restricting the amount of electricity they use. Smart meters also help utility companies to monitor power grids so they can make repairs as needed, reducing outage times and improving reliability. If you're interested in working with smart meters, knowing how to get a job as a smart meter installer can be useful. In this article, we look at what a smart meter installer is, explain how to become a smart meter installer and list relevant jobs.
What is a smart meter installer?
Smart meter installers are professionals responsible for installing electronic devices that can communicate information about power or gas usage between homes and utility companies. They're also responsible for setting up the systems that allow customers to monitor their own power usage and manage their accounts online. The installation process typically involves connecting a smart meter to the customer's electrical or gas system and then connecting the meter's data wirelessly to a central server where it's accessible to utility companies. The installer ensures this process works properly. They also test the systems to ensure that they meet safety standards.

Digging To the North Pole
Wally and Osborne aren't morons, just a bit naive. It's actually about 7,926 miles from the south pole to the north pole. If they could average five feet an hour they could be there in about 955 years. This is of course based on them maintaining that digging speed going through rock and metal as well as being burned up from the heat of the earth's core (Actually little is known about the earth's core but scientists speculate that it is made up of iron and nickel and reaches temperatures over 9000Â°F).


Well, it sucks but it's true. There's a bunch of noise on the Internet about how to do unique constraints in Google App Engine, but it seems like these are the only two safe ways. The thing to remember is, the only uniqueness that GAE will guarantee is on key names.
Approach #1: Make the unique field be the key name
As long as you promise to yourself that you'll never need to change the value, then you should make the unique field be the "key name" in the table. Then you can call db.Model.get_or_insert(key_name) to either retrieve an existing one or create a new one. Too bad in the real world, it's really hard to find something like this. Email addresses never change? Let me check my hotmail account. Social security numbers never change? Well, unless there was a typo. Every time I think I found a unique field that can never change, I'm proven wrong. So you'll never catch me doing this. But YMMV.
Approach #2: Create a separate table to track all used ids
This is pretty slick -- I found it in this article: Add a Unique Constraint to Google App Engine. The approach is to create a new table called Unique, and make the "key name" of each row in Unique be a combination of the name of the table and the unique field value. The downside is that you have extra storage overhead: a new table with the list of unique fields, plus the default indices that GAE makes for it. This is fairly analogous to declaring a unique index in SQL databases, since a unique SQL index is merely a persisted list of unique fields. There's just less overhead in a SQL database implementation because it's only one list, whereas in GAE this user-generated unique index is really one list (for the table) plus the default indices GAE makes for any entity.
I must say that Google is aware of this issue. It looks like they'd have to make some major architectural changes to implement this. My guess is if they ever fix this, they'll sneak in approach #2, above their BigTable support and below the API that us users use.

[0 1 0]
 'blue', [0 0 1]
 ii = find(strcmp(color_table(:,1), name ));
 clr_mat(c,:) = color_table{ii,2};
 The problem with containers.Map, in my opinion, is that the key and the value are physically separated. If you want to add one value to the table, you need to edit your function in two places.
 The switch statement really shines when you need to execute different bits of code based on an input, it's not so useful for a simple table lookup.
 I like your method for some applications.
 In the particular case I showed however, I am doing more than a simple table lookup. Instead, I am trying to take an input string of color characters and build an Mx3 matrix of RGB triplets.
 For example, if someone provides the input 'rygb', I want to build the matrix [1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1].
 The colors need to be in the correct order, and if someone provides an invalid color character, I want to ignore it.
 To achieve this with your method, I need to do the following:
 color_table = {
 'r', [1 0 0] % red
 'g', [0 1 0] % green
 'b', [0 0 1] % blue
 'y', [1 1 0] % yellow
 'c', [0 1 1] % cyan
 'm', [1 0 1] % magenta
 'p', [1 0.5] % pink
 'o', [1.5 0] % orange
 'l', [.5 1 0] % lime green
 'a', [0 1.5] % aquamarine
 's', [0.5 1] % sky blue
 'v', [.5 0 1] % violet
 'k', [.5.5.5] % grayscale
 'w', [.5.5.5] % grayscale
 num_clrs = length(input(:));
 clr_mat = zeros(num_clrs,3);
 c = 0;
 for k = 1:num_clrs
 c = c + 1;
 ii = find(strcmp(color_table(:,1),lower(input(k))));
 if ~isempty(ii)
 c = c - 1;
 clr_mat = clr_mat(1:c,:);
 if ~isempty(clr_mat)
 clrs = clr_mat
 In my opinion, my SWITCH statement is more compact and readable. I may use your method for other things though… :o)
 A not very clearly documented feature of the switch/case construct that I've found useful is that it's much more general than the examples might lead you to believe. All the examples I've seen have been of the form:
 switch x
 case v1
 case v2
 where x is a variable or expression, and each of the vi are numeric or string constants or cells arrays comprised thereof.
 But this also works:
 switch true
 case exp1
 case exp2
 where each of the expi are logical expressions. The first that evaluates as true has its branch executed.
 Can you use conditional statments in a switch statment for example:
 switch num
 case num<-2
 disp('Num less than -2′)
 I like the switch syntax since the code is so easy for most people to read.
 However, I don't like how it "artificially" drives the McCabe Clclomatic complexity index high. Thus, when I document a function that I've written, & include the output from Code Metrics, I have to write some text to discuss why, for example, the complexity index is 14 rather than my target of less than 10.
 In many cases, my co-workers & I look at the function in detail & decide that it is clearer to use the switch-case syntax & accept the higher index rather than dividing the function into sub-functions just to get the index below 10.
 I'm under the impression that using if-ifelse syntax will result in the same complexity index as the switch-case syntax. Yet, the switch-case syntax is usually clear.
 Maybe I need to invent an Oyster Complexity Index that excludes the effect of the switch-case syntax.
 I appreciate Iain's discussion of decision tables from Code Complete. I browsed thru our copy & see how to implement such a thing in readable code.
 if-else will result in the same complexity as switch. We often make the same trade-off you do, to keep a switch statement instead of having some very small subfunctions. There is a reason switch drives up the complexity though. The number of possible paths through the code does indeed go up, just as in an if-else situation.

Dynamometer: Introduction and Types
Show/Hide Page Index
A dynamometer is a device used for measuring the torque and brake power required to operate a driven machine.
Dynamometers can be broadly classified into two types. They are:
 1. Power Absorption Dynamometers: Power Absorption dynamometers measure and absorb the power output of the engine to which they are coupled. The power absorbed is usually dissipated as heat by some means.
 Examples of power absorption dynamometers are Prony brake dynamometer, Rope brake dynamometer, Eddy current dynamometer, Hydraulic dynamometer, etc.
 2. Power Transmission Dynamometers: In power transmission dynamometers the power is transmitted to the load coupled to the engine after it is indicated on some scale. These are also called torque meters.
Some of the different types of dynamometers are discussed below in brief.
Prony Brake Dynamometer:
Pony Brake is one of the simplest dynamometers for measuring power output (brake power). It is to attempt to stop the engine using a brake on the flywheel and measure the weight which an arm attached to the brake will support, as it tries to rotate with the flywheel.
Prony Brake
Figure 1: Prony Brake
The Prony brake shown in the above consists of a wooden block, frame, rope, brake shoes and flywheel. It works on the principle of converting power into heat by dry friction. Spring-loaded bolts are provided to increase the friction by tightening the wooden block.
The whole of the power absorbed is converted into heat and hence this type of dynamometer must the cooled.
The brake power is given by the formula
Brake Power (bp) = 2π NT
Where T = Weight applied (W) × distance (l)
Rope Brake Dynamometer:
The rope brake as shown in below figure is another device for measuring brake power of an engine. It consists of some turns of rope wound around the rotating drum attached to the output shaft. One side of the rope is connected to a spring balance and the other side to a loading device. The power is absorbed in friction between the rope and the drum. Therefore drum in rope brake requires cooling.
Rope brake
Figure 2: Rope Brake
Rope brake dynamometers are cheap and can be constructed quickly but brake power can't be measured accurately because of change in the friction coefficient of the rope with a change in temperature.
The brake power is given by the formula
Brake Power (bp) = π DN (W − S)
where D is the brake drum diameter,
W is the weight of the load and
S is the spring balance reading.
Eddy Current Dynamometer:
The working principle of eddy current dynamometer is shown in the figure below. It consists of a stator on which are fitted some electromagnets and a rotor disc made of copper or steel and coupled to the output shaft of the engine. When the rotor rotates, eddy currents are produced in the stator due to magnetic flux set up by the passage of field current in the electromagnets. These eddy currents are dissipated in producing heat so that this type of dynamometer requires some cooling arrangement. The torque is measured exactly as in other types of absorption dynamometers, i.e., with the help of a moment arm. The load in internal combustion engine testing is controlled by regulating the current in the electromagnets.
Eddy current Dynamometer
Figure 3: Eddy Current Dynamometer
The following are the main advantages of eddy current dynamometers:
 1. High brake power per unit weight of dynamometer.
 2. They offer the highest ratio of constant power speed range (up to 5 : 1).
 3. Level of field excitation is below 1% of total power being handled by the dynamometer. Thus, they are easy to control and operate.
 4. Development of eddy current is smooth hence the torque is also smooth and continuous under all conditions.
 5. Relatively higher torque under low-speed conditions.
 6. It has no intricate rotating parts except shaft bearing.
 7. No natural limit to size, either small or large.
Hydraulic Dynamometer:
A hydraulic dynamometer as shown in the figure below works on the principle of dissipating the power in fluid friction rather than in dry friction.
Hydraulic Dynamometer
Figure 4: Hydraulic Dynamometer
 - In principle, hydraulic dynamometer construction is similar to that of a fluid flywheel.
 - Hydraulic dynamometer consists of an impeller or inner rotating member coupled to the output shaft of the engine.
 - The impeller in this dynamometer rotates in a casing filled with a fluid.
 - Due to the centrifugal force developed in the outer casing, tends to revolve with the impeller, but is resisted by a torque arm supporting the balance weight.
 - The frictional forces generated between the impeller and the fluid are measured by the spring balance fitted on the casing.
 - The heat developed due to the dissipation of power in Hydraulic dynamometer is carried away by a continuous supply of the working fluid.
 - The output power can be controlled by regulating the sluice gates which can be moved in and out to partially or wholly obstruct the flow of water between the casing and the impeller.
Absorption Dynamometers:
Transmission dynamometers are also called torque meters. They mostly consist of a set of strain-gauges fixed on the rotating shaft and the torque is measured by the angular deformation of the shaft which is indicated as the strain the of the strain gauge. A four arm bridge is used to reduce the effect of temperature, and the gauges are arranged in pairs such that the effect of axial or transverse load on the strain gauges is avoided.
Transmission Dynamometer
Figure 5: Transmission Dynamometer
Above figure shows the transmission dynamometer which employs beams and strain gauges for a sensing torque. Transmission dynamometers measure brake power very accurately and are used where continuous transmission of the load is necessary. These are mainly used in automatic units.
All Comments
 - I find the dynamometer very fascinating. I've always wondered how you can check your brake power. There are so many different types. Is there a type of dynamometer that is better for measuring the torque or brake power?

Hey, this is a combination of the GSON parser as well as the json specification.
If you leave the 'Strings' absent from the JSON payload, then they will resolve to 'null' on the Client, however this will not work with 'Integers', with will default to 0. It looks like GSON treats all numbers as 'int's, which cannot be null.
As a workaround, if you need null values for numbers, you can either add a boolean flag to indicate if a value has been set 'doorsSet: false', or you can treat all numbers as Strings and then do a 'Integer.valueOf(...)' to get the numerical value.

Hello Edward, thank you for your explanation.
My solution is ugly : if(myBean.getField() == 0) myBean.setField(null);
I'm using the Kinvey console to update values in the data store and I want to represent "null" values.
For instance, if I have a "Car" collection with 2 columns : "doors" (integer) and "name" (string).
The json could be :
In the Java bean, we have :
> private Integer doors;
> private String name;
After loading data :
> "doors" is an Integer equal to 0
> "name" is a String equal to null
Could you tell me what is the best way to manage null values using the Kinvey console?

The Rosa Porrino is a pink coloured granite from Spain that is a reference granite all over the world. The Rosa Porrino has set the standards for pink coloured granites and opened a large market for this type of granites. Today, there are similar granites from different origins being commercialized all over the world, but the Rosa Porrino will still remain a pioneer for this type of granite.
Due to its fame and international recognition, this granite has taken several different names according to each supplier, market, project, etc. We present below some of these alternative names that identify the Spanish Rosa Porrino:
- Rosa Porrinho: the Portuguese name for the Rosa Porrino granite. There is a variation of the Rosa Porrino being extracted in Portugal.
- Porrino Pink: the English name for the Rosa Porrino granite, it is common to use this name on English speaking countries.
- Spanish Pink granite: a generalist name to describe the Rosa Porrino granite. If we talk about Spanish pink granite, we normally refers to its main reference: the Rosa Porrino
- Porrino granite: simply known as Porrino granite. Porrino is the town nearby where the Rosa Porrino granite quarries are located.

text: As a typical multilinear dimensionality reduction (DR) method, tensor locality preserving projection (TLPP) has been successfully applied in many practical problems. However, TLPP depends mainly on preserving its local neighbor graph which often suffers from the following issues: (1) the neighbor graph is constructed with the Euclidean distance which fails to consider the relationships among different coordinates for tensor data; (2) the affinity matrix only focuses on the local structure information of samples while ignoring the existing label information; (3) the projection matrices are nonorthogonal, thus it is difficult to preserve the local manifold structure. To address these problems, a multilinear DR algorithm called optimal neighbor graph-based orthogonal tensor locality preserving projection (OG-OTLPP) is proposed. In OG-OTLPP, an optimal neighbor graph is first built according to tensor distance. Then the affinity matrix of data is defined by utilizing both the label information and the intrinsic local geometric properties of the data. Finally, in order to improve the manifold preserving ability, an efficient and stable scheme is designed to iteratively learn the orthogonal projections. We evaluate the proposed algorithm by applying it to image recognition. The experimental results on five public image databases demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

The Red Hills, also known as the Gyp or Gypsum Hills, are located mostly in Clark, Comanche, and Barber counties in southern and central Kansas. These hills gather their name from the red tint they have. The red color comes from oxidated iron within the soil. The area is also known for its large gypsum deposits. Rainfall amounts are low in this region, so there are few trees and the air is dry.
The flat top hills in the area are more reminiscent of the mesas and buttes in Arizona and New Mexico. The elevation here disputes Kansas' reputation as "flat." Mount Nebo is 2,441 feet (744 meters), Mount Jesus is 2,340 feet (710 meters), and Mount Lookout is 2,320 feet (710 meters).

Simplify Linear Scan Path Creation
When you create sequences to CNC scan just certain areas of large parts, one approach is to create a linear scan path for each area, which can result in a large number of steps. Starting with PolyWorks Metrology Suite 2018 IR9, you can scan all the different areas using a single scan path, and define segments where scanning is disabled that only serve to displace the machine. In this way, you can simplify sequence creation and maintenance by combining several steps into one, without sacrificing the measurement speed.
Step by step: To create a linear scan path containing segments where scanning is disabled:
- Make sure the desired CAD model is visible in the 3D Scene and the CNC CMM Scanner plug-in has been activated.
- Open the Scan dialog box.
- In the Parameters section, click the Create Path button. The Create Scan Path dialog box is displayed, and an interactive picking mode is launched.
- Set Type to Linear.
- Click on the CAD model to define a linear scan path. Clicking creates dark-blue segments that will be scanned and clicking while holding the CTRL key creates light-blue segments where scanning is deactivated.
Right-click to end the scan path and exit the interactive mode.
