A MCPCB-mounted sensor would be awesome, but won't be feasible on this light. Maybe in a later version, with a redesigned driver.
Understood. But for future compatibility of parts, is it possible to at least get a placeholder solder pads on the MCPCB?
So for now the MCU is stuck making predictions based on a laggy and noisy built-in sensor.
Despite that though, the normal regulation works pretty well… except for the specific case of turbo, which it allows to run long enough to make the light uncomfortable to hold. But perhaps that could be avoided by adding a drop of thermal goo in production. That just makes the driver really hard to reflash. I hope future drivers will have programming pin access on the battery side of the driver, though the FW3A may not have room for that kind of thing.
The retaining ring doesn't actually touch the body tube, so it's far less likely to get loose over time. In the prototypes it does sometimes touch the inner tube though, which is a main factor holding up the project. Can't go to production until that's solved, because spurious button presses are bad. It's easily fixed with a short strip of kapton tape around the end of the inner tube, but a better solution is needed.
In full turbo, and when approaching it, as the FET PWM ratio increases the 7135s contribute less and less to the current flow, so less heat is generated on the driver/MCU temp. sensor hence the increased lag.
A quick and dirty way to fix this might be to mount a power resistor as close as possible to the MCU, connected to the LED drive output. This way the parasitic loss in this heater resistor would provide the quick response needed for PID type strategies, compensating for the lower contribution from the 7135s.
If the driver was arranged so the resistor was only powered by the FET, not the 7135s, there would be no parasitic loss in 7135 modes, but that might require a second small FET just to drive it.
Edit:, or use a gate-able constant current source, shorted to ground, as the heater, rather than resistor+FET.
Otherwise the classic method is to use feed forward in addition to PID, but this requires a pretty good model of the overall behaviour and is not for the faint hearted.
Since we are not trying to thermally control it, simply to turn it down just before it overheats, I reckon some straightforward mapping of the behaviour could work.
Mapping could be attempted by taking a series of step response measurements using a thermocouple on the head and timing the duration from start temperature to critical temperature. Maybe map 8 or 16 different power levels, from full 7135 to full FET. These could then be used, factored by the head temperature measured at the MCU, to determine a step-down time for each power setting, the step down being either smoothed out, or left to step to give visual indication of what's happening.
Once back down to full 7135 the universal algorithm taking over again.
PPS: You already have a constant current source on the driver (x1 7135) so if you could arrange a second set of wires to the LED (4 wire probe) feeding an ADC input to the MCU, you could do it, with just the tiniest flicker when taking the measurement. Guessing at 2mV/degreeC slope, you'd be looking to resolve say 200 mV over the range 0-100C, on the say 3V Vf, which sounds do-able.
I don't think TK is using anything like PID, that would be just stupid in a dynamic thing like this that doesn't work like classroom theory.
It's not an easy thing to control, and the hardware is fixed, this has to be delivered sooner rather than later, otherwise why even bother ?
Pragmatic solutions are required, whilst we know-it-alls chatter amongst ourselves.
How does Zebralight implement their thermal PID control? Because, it's very response, doesn't overshoot, and will quickly react both up and down to keep the light at the set thermal level. Granted, the brightest Zebralight is 2300 lumens, so not quite as bright as this light, but it's still pretty powerful and needs to ramp down in a minute or so. It gets hot, but not too hot to hold.
My reference to "classroom theory" is because in this torch the temperature sensor is not closely coupled to the parts that are trying to be controlled. So it is a lot more difficult to do, and I am impressed by how well it works.
I regard what TK is doing as a pragmatic approach, using empirical methods, rather than a theoretical analysis.
Control engineering is quite a deep subject, I only studied it just enough to realise how little I understood.
to get an idea of some of the complexity.
No idea about Zebralights, but clearly they are doing something right. ISTR from posts here that DrJones has developed some impressive temperature control as well, but can't find the details.
PS: here is some less highbrow explanation, from the great Robert A. Pease, Applications Engineer for Nat. Semi back in the day, I've probably read every application note he ever wrote, required reading for any analogue engineer.
Oh man, that brings back memories. I used to subscribe to EDN just for Pease Porridge.
Oh man, that brings back memories. I used to subscribe to ED just for Pease Porridge.
It was called EDN back then (Electronic Design News) and no I didn't have to subscribe, in fact dealing with the semiconductor reps. and their latest stuff, and future plans, could have taken up all my time and got in the way of the job. But things were evolving so fast.
Evaluation samples were plied upon us, and meetings often took place down the pub (or posh restaurant) at lunchtime or after work, happy days.
And we all knew each other.
This would have to be a high precision differential measurement synchronized to the PWM cycle in order to get useful data.
You don't need a diff-amp if you can sample both signals fast enough. But I'd suggest just clamping one to +V and sampling the switched signal, gets rid of the offset once you subtract cell voltage. It might be good enough. Of course sampled in-between regular operation, that's why I suggested it could be done in a blink, in-between normal operation.
Just a mad idea though.
Edit: If this is doing without the voltage divider to measure Vbatt, as I suspect, then it could be a bit approximate, but measured Vbatt vs. LED Vf should still track if they are coming through the same pin to the same ADC.
One way to make that happen, put a large pullup fromVbatt onto the ADC pin. Measure Vbatt with everything else turned off (7135 and FET). Then pulse the LED with one 7135 for a few milliseconds, if necessary turning up the gain, measure, subtract, calculate, job done. All through one pin (possibly multiplexed with something else).
For best precision, take a slightly different two measurements, not Vbatt open circuit but Vbatt whilst driving the pulse (two pulses required)..
I'm fairly new around here and have learned a lot from BLF. I've since picked up a BLF A6, an Astrolux C8 (thanks to WalkIntoTheLight's review crushing the Convoy C8) and a Massdrop/Lumintop Brass Tool AAA.
As for PWM, I've heard it's used in some cheap or budget lights as a way of cutting costs. I don't know much about it. But I do find it annoying on an older light I have.
b.) if/how its use of PWM will have minimal noticeable effect?
5% of the people own 95% of the flashlights. Hello 5 percenter!
I've since picked up a BLF A6, … As for PWM, I've heard it's used in some cheap or budget lights as a way of cutting costs. I don't know much about it. But I do find it annoying on an older light I have.
But you don't find PWM annoying on the BLF-A6?
If you don't mind PWM on the A6, you won't mind it on the FW3A. They both use the same method, except the FW3A does it better. What people dislike is slow PWM, and that's not what the FW3A does.
It's about more than cost. A full current regulation circuit also requires more space and fancier heat sinking, and introduces a variety of other complications depending on how it's done.
Thanks for clarifying. You're right… It's the slow PWM I don't like. I don't notice it on the A6 and am pleased it will be even better on the FW3A.
Most manufacturers now seem to be doing PWM the right way: fast. I still prefer current regulation, but you generally only get that on more expensive lights. I don't find fast PWM annoying at all, it's more for reasons of efficiency and well-regulated output that I prefer current regulation. For budget lights, it seems that a FET driver and PWM is the way they're all done (for the high modes).
I think the FW3A shows more promise by using 8 (or is it 10?) 7135 chips. That should get much better regulated output on higher modes. Though, I still find the Convoys that use 8×7135 chips still suffer from dropping output as the battery voltage drops, well before I would have thought the voltage should start having an effect. It's not as bad as pure FET, though.

What else can you expect, when driving a typical white LED from a LiIon cell with a crude driver ?
The efficiency is all over the place (7135 and anything linear obviously better, until they drop out), the FETs run open-loop on crude PWM at the worst efficiency, with no voltage compensation AFAIK.
There are far better ways of doing this, but they cost a tiny bit more, and take skill to design.
Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost. Choose a good one and you might double your cell life compared with a crude driver. Makes all the debate about "what is the best cell" a bit moot.
It is long past the time when 7135/FET drivers should have any credibility, no-matter how easy they are to design and cheap to manufacture.
is it possible to at least get a placeholder solder pads on the MCPCB?
It won't be feasible to change the MCPCB design again before production.
The inner tube issue is already solved, I think, but we're waiting on test results to be sure.
How does Zebralight implement their thermal PID control?
And probably more classroom theory than I'm using. When it oscillates, the oscillations are very regular, suggesting that it probably has a more formal design than what I'm using, or at least a much better signal-to-noise ratio on the sensor data. And probably more "I" with less "D".
What I'm doing is a form of PID, but it's less of a proper academic "Hogwarts/Brakebills" PID and more of a hedge witch "street" PID.
ISTR from posts here that DrJones has developed some impressive temperature control as well, but can't find the details.
I have a H17F in a solid copper host with some serious thermal mass, and did some testing on its thermal response. This plot shows the H17F and an early version of Anduril from ~10 months ago. I found that DrJones' method appeared to drop 1 PWM level every 0.5 seconds or so, until the FET was no longer active, then drop 1 PWM level every 2 seconds or so on the 7×7135 channel, until it was no longer overheating. It took about 8 minutes to stabilize, because the adjustment was very slow. Very smooth though, and it seemed okay in such a solid host. Bumps on its graph were where I accidentally moved the light while checking its surface temperature.
Meanwhile, Anduril stabilized in about a minute. These results are not directly comparable though, due to being in different hosts with different power levels. So at some point I should probably compare them in the same host to find out if the H17F can speed up when necessary.
On the FW3A, there was a spare pin so it actually has an "optic nerve" built in to be able to use the LED as a light sensor. But the way it's designed probably wouldn't work for temperature for a variety of reasons. Mostly, the reading is designed to auto-center on zero over time, so edges are visible but absolute levels are not.
The first prototype will likely soon become a dev host for optical sensor features. Those aren't planned for release, but perhaps in a later version. Configuring a flashlight from a computer screen is a neat trick, but it's mostly not very practical so I haven't prioritized it.
People sometimes complain about linear drivers, but for the most part they work fine as long as the emitters match the power source. The main benefit of a buck/boost is being able to run mismatched voltages, like XHP35 on a single cell.
Drivers could certainly be optimized more, but it seems like a matter of diminishing returns. Fancier drivers provide benefits most people won't really notice, and sometimes the extra complexity comes with significant baggage. Sometimes it's worth the trouble, sometimes not.
Though, I still find the Convoys that use 8×7135 chips still suffer from dropping output as the battery voltage drops, well before I would have thought the voltage should start having an effect. It's not as bad as pure FET, though.
On high or lower modes? The Convoy and similar drivers have an odd quirk that causes poor regulation on lower modes.
I built my first Convoy recently using an 8×7135 Qlite driver – pretty similar to the Convoy driver, but I have STAR firmware on mine. Out of curiosity, I tested the regulation with a linear power supply. Mine held regulation at ~3 Amps until the input level dropped below 3.4V when driving a 2.8-2.9V rated 219C. It dropped to 50% of initial current draw at 3.15V.
Considering Nichia's datasheet shows the forward voltage is 3.4V at roughly that current level, this $5 driver seemed to have perfect regulation. There are caveats for voltage binning and the temperature dependence of Vf, but they don't change the conclusion much.
Surprisingly, regulation was far worse on lower modes.
My 750 mA target (25%) mode fell out of regulation at 3.9V.
My 90 mA target (3%) mode was already out of regulation at 4.3V.
This wasn't actually a surprise to me. I was looking for it specifically because when shopping for a driver, I noticed HKJ documented it over 4 years ago. He speculated based on oscilloscope data that the 7135 chips respond too slowly to the 16 kHz PWM to turn on fully when the duty cycle is low. Maukka measured similar when he did a more cursory output test of an S2+.
However, the D4 also uses a high frequency PWM for its 7135 chip, yet does not share this issue. I don't know if it is due to the specific brand of 7135 used, a driver design issue, or if Toykeeper, TomE or others know a firmware trick to avoid it.
He speculated based on oscilloscope data that the 7135 chips respond too slowly to the 16 kHz PWM to turn on fully when the duty cycle is low.
Chip brand: "Raptor claw" 7135 chip chosen specifically for its activation speed, so it will perform well with short pulses. The low-mode problems are mostly seen on "failboat" 7135 chips.
Driver design: 1×7135 chip on its own channel, so it uses the 350mA Vf instead of the 3A Vf, and can thus regulate longer.
So… regulation on this thing actually works pretty well.
Aha! Thanks for the reply. I spent far too much time researching this issue before I gave up trying to find answers and bought parts for my build.
I should have just created an account here earlier to ask, instead of digging through countless old threads.
But I'm glad I mentioned it in this thread, because now I know the concern is already addressed in the FW3A.
Unfortunately, it seems there are a lot of drivers out there using the lower quality chips.
All this from a $30-$36 light? Outrageous!
This thread, (well, portions of it) should be required reading for all flashlight manufacturers.
My collection: 4000 lumen XHP70 "Jayrod" mag mod, Solarforce L2T with XML2, BLF A6, Nitecore EC4S, + many more!
I know what you mean! I'm leaning that way thinking of a couple extra for my kids.
ToyKeeper just said this a couple posts above.
So yes, it will increase brightness if the light is cooled down. I assume that's what your are asking.
Didn't realize that post, mostly because i only took a quick glance of most posts here.
Please add me to the list for one (1).
Body color is not very important to me, but I think the silvery color of the prototype looks nice, even if not quite like bare aluminum.
Who will be seller ? I am asking because i have payment issues with GB.

The 10 Least Populated Countries In Asia
Maldives, Brunei, and Bhutan are the least populated Asian countries.
The Maldives, the least populated country in Asia.
Asia is the world largest continent both in terms of size and population. The continent is known for its large and dense settlements and also large areas of extremely low population density. Below are the 10 least populated countries in Asia according to population data from the World Factbook.
10. Turkmenistan - 5,351,277
Turkmenistan is the 10th least populated country in Asia with 5,351,277 people. The country is spread over 491,210 square kilometers in Central Asia bordering the Caspian Sea as well as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. Ashgabat is the capital city of Turkmenistan.85% of the population are ethnic Turkmen. Turkmen is the official language of Turkmenistan while Islam is the dominant religion.
9. Oman - 4,613,241
Oman is located in the Arabian Peninsula's southeastern region where it has coastlines on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. As of 2017, the population of Oman is 4,613,241. Nearly half of the population lives in the capital city of Muscat and the surrounding areas. Thus, 78% of Oman's population is urban in nature. Nearly 45% of Oman's population comprises of expatriates mainly from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Morocco. Islam is the official religion and also a religion of the majority in Oman. Arabic is the official language.
8. Mongolia - 3,068,243
With mountains and deserts covering large parts of Mongolia, the country has very little arable land and hence is one of the least populated countries in Asia. As of 2016, the population of Mongolia has been estimated to be 3,068,243. Nearly 40 to 45% of the national population is based in and around the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolian is the official and most widely spoken language while Buddhism is the largest religion in Mongolia.
7. Kuwait - 2,875,422
Kuwait is a Western Asian country that has a population of about 2,875,422 although Kuwait's Public Authority for Civil Information estimates that the country's total population is actually 4,437,590 with nearly 70% comprising of expatriates. The high number of expatriates in the population have been identified by the Kuwaiti government as a problem and deportations plans have been initiated in the country. With the oil industry acting as the backbone of Kuwait's economy, the country has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Islam is the dominant religion in Kuwait and Modern Standard Arabic is the official language although Kuwaiti Arabic is used in everyday life in the country.

Robert Post, the former dean of Yale Law School, minced no words in excoriating Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court in an op-ed published in Politico on Saturday.
Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate on Saturday afternoon and quickly sworn in as a justice on the nation's highest court.
Post, a Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School who specializes in constitutional law, went on to lambast the senators who voted for Kavanaugh as caring "more about controlling" the court than the institution's legitimacy.
"There will be hell to pay," he warned.
"He cannot gain confirmation by unleashing partisan fury while simultaneously claiming that he possesses a judicial and impartial temperament," said Post.
"His very presence will undermine the court's claim to legitimacy; it will damage the nation's commitment to the rule of law. It will be an American tragedy," Post concluded.


I have wondered to post this as a review or as a "blog" post. I chose the first. I used to watch the X-Files since the first repeat of the first series. I taped most episodes, bought the VHS-tapes with double episodes, etc., saw the first film in the cinema and recently went to the second film. My brother started buying the old series, watch them and buy the next one. I had plans to start doing the same some time. After the awfull second film I felt more like watching the series when they were still good and then I heard about this box with all 9 series. I got it last week, we watched the pilot and first episode yesterday. I must have been a long time since I saw them and I enjoyed seeing them again a lot, even though the acting is rather poor and the overall atmosphere is rather cheesy. Next up is "Squeeze" and that is when the series start to get better. There seem to be European and American versions of the box, I got the nice looking evidence-box-looking one you see here. Nine boxes looking like VHS cases are in it with seven or eight DVDs each (!), a nice booklet with information about the episodes and short stories about the series and how the public reacted to them. Too bad the old 'logo' seems to be skipped, but overall the box looks very nice.

A Yorkshire-based pet shop chain approached us about designing a new website to bring the brand up to date. The website would need to have a modern, responsive design which would be fully functional across all devices. It would also need to support user interaction to manage stock information and customer queries on specific products. With a wide range of products including pet food to buy online, we implemented a shipping classes system that automatically calculates shipping costs based on weight and location.
With a vast range of products, we helped Paw Prints Pet Stores create a brand new eCommerce website, with advanced shopping cart and mobile friendly design. We added over 1000 products to the online shop, setting up weights, dimensions and shipping classes. We implemented a multi store finder system so that potential customers can find their nearest pet store and get directions using Google maps. We also launched the new website with some starter Search Engine Optimisation, by optimising all product page META data, titles and descriptions alongside Schema markup relating to the products to enable Google rich snippets in search results. The new website has had a big impact on the business with the warehouse and online sales now competing with in-store sales, thanks to a great business and our feature packed website design.


In exercising their statutory duties and powers under the relevant and current legislation, fire and rescue services will encounter, and should expect to deal with, fires of various types (as detailed in BS EN 2: 1992 - Classification of fires) and sizes, in a wide range of locations, environments and contexts.
In any fire situation, regardless of size or type, the fundamental factor for all fire and rescue services will be locating the fire. This may be establishing the location of the incident or the potentially more complex task of finding the fire in a building, structure or vessel.
Locating a fire will depend on many competing factors and pressures but, in simple terms, it relies on gathering information, sharing intelligence, reconnaissance and, above all, effective communication and liaison between individuals, teams and other agencies/responsible authorities. Further information can be found in the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP), joint decision making model.
From the moment the incident commander and firefighters are notified and mobilised to a fire, information, both factual and predictive, will begin to flow. It is essential for the incident commander to ensure that everyone adopts an approach that enables them to manage the information they receive methodically, so they assimilate the data and begin to assess what can often be a complex, dynamic and chaotic situation.
At any incidents involving fire, information will present itself to the incident commander and firefighters from multiple sources, in numerous forms and not necessarily in an entirely expected order. Some of this will be factual information and some largely predictive information.
Prior knowledge, including information from pre-incident planning Site-Specific Risk Information (SSRI), tactical plans, business fire safety and site visits/inspections. See National Operational Guidance: Operations for further information.
Directly observed information - time of day, temperature, weather conditions, signs and symptoms of flashover or backdraught.
The incident commander and firefighters will, in most situations, rely heavily on fire control rooms as their primary source of factual information. This information will be vital and will support the initial assessment and evaluation of what is likely to be encountered on arrival.
Assessing and evaluating an incident will often be the key determining factor in the overall success or failure of a firefighting operation. It is therefore important that the information gained at this stage as part of the dynamic risk assessment (DRA) is used carefully to build a picture of the situation, identify the respective hazards, determine the immediate priorities, actions and subsequently the tactics (offensive or defensive), to ultimately establish the resources that may be required to bring the fire under control as safely as possible.
Especially when responding to an incident involving fire, at a very early stage the incident commander will need to consider their priorities, with the primary objective always being to save lives. This should include keeping firefighters safe as well as performing rescues. The remaining priorities will normally include preventing surrounding risks or buildings being exposed, containing the fire in a specific area and, of course, extinguishing the fire.
With the exception of saving lives, these tactical priorities do not take particular precedence or follow a hierarchy, and it may be that in carrying out any one of them, the others are dealt with simultaneously. For example, a rapid intervention with limited resources may bring the fire under control quickly. This will in turn support containment, reduce likely spread and lead to the fire being extinguished.
Interpreting data and information from the various sources available will allow crews to identify, negotiate and establish safe approach, and access and egress to and from the proximity of the fire for attending resources.
Reference to the historical knowledge, intelligence, risk information and data gathered by a fire and rescue service and during pre-planning events such as site visits will also be vital.
See National Operational Guidance: Operations for further information.
As well as gathering all available information and possessing the necessary professional firefighting skills, knowledge and equipment, it is important that firefighters make effective use of the simple information that may be presented to them in a fire situation. Identifying, understanding and reading the key information available through human senses (sight, sound, smell, and touch) are vital skills that may help firefighters to identify the location of a fire in any environment.
For example, when dealing with a fire in the open environment, a firefighter may be able to use all of their senses to help locate the fire; they may be able to see the fire itself or the fire gases or smoke being given off.
This may also help to give an immediate indication of the size or extent of the fire or help in identifying key hazards such as flashover or backdraught and their inherent signs and symptoms.
The ability of firefighters to interpret smoke, including its volume, velocity, colour, density, movement and behaviour, can be useful predictive information. Sometimes even the smell from a distance can give clues to what may be involved; for example, burning foodstuffs, overheating electrical equipment, burning wood or paper have fairly distinctive odours.
Direct observation will often provide good predictive information about a fire. However, this should always be considered alongside more accurate factual information about the building and the incident. For example, visible flames can indicate where a fire is and its intensity, but in isolation this may not tell the entire story. Equally, flaming combustion, blackened windows or smoke coming from a window may seem to indicate that a fire is contained in a specific room but it is possible that it could be spreading through unseen structural voids that exist in many buildings, including timber-framed buildings.
It may not always be possible to pinpoint the location of a fire solely from an exterior view; from the information gained during the scene survey alone or where it is not possible to undertake a full scene survey. It may therefore be necessary to commit firefighters to a fire situation to provide internal reconnaissance.
In these circumstances, crews should be specifically tasked and given a clear briefing that allows them to operate safely and effectively. Inside a building they can use direct observation and senses to feed factual and predictive information to the incident commander who will be in a position outside a building or remote from the immediate fire zone.
Where the prevailing conditions of the fire or smoke limit visibility, firefighters can look, listen or feel for indicators such as changes in temperature (radiant heat), or the light from the flicker of a flame from a specific direction that may lead them to the seat of fire. Other simple signs and symptoms like the distortion of superficial parts of a structure, blistered surface finishes or smoke percolating through gaps may help find the fire.
The skills, knowledge and experience of the incident commander and firefighters are vital to the successful execution of any fire attack or suppression plan. However, emergency fire vehicles, equipment and resources will also be integral to supporting any attack.
To assist in locating the fire, thermal imaging equipment is particularly effective; handheld devices can assist firefighters in pinpointing the location of a fire. It can be used both internally and externally to scan a structure or area of a fire. Thermal imaging equipment has the additional benefit of enhancing overall firefighter safety as well as being a valuable item that breathing apparatus (BA) search and rescue teams can use to locate casualties.
Most police helicopters, including those operated by the National Police Air Service (NPAS), have thermal imaging equipment. This may be something that fire and rescue services can explore as part of local liaison and interoperability. Some service may have access to drones or unmanned aerial vehicles with live video and infrared capabilities. The facility is particularly effective at large-scale fires, such as wildfire events, which have the potential to spread and cover large geographical areas.
By considering some of these simple measures and developing them further in local procedures, fire and rescue services can ensure that firefighters are in a position to quickly assess and evaluate the situation, make an informed judgement about the location of the fire and begin to find out what is burning (type of fire) and the extent to which the fire has spread (physics of combustion).
This will subsequently enable them to make clear decisions about the overall priorities, tactics and plans needed to intervene and extinguish the fire, including the firefighting method and the type of firefighting media to deal with the situation in the safest, most appropriate and efficient manner, preventing, limiting and minimising damage from fire and firefighting operations.


It's hilarious and telling that you think going to a bar and paying for beer marked up *several hundred percent* from what you'd pay at the grocery store (which is still 5-10X the cost of homebrew) constitutes frugal… To say that is a stretch of the definition would be a vast understatement. It is nothing short of FAIL.
Sorry brother, but this is a FAIL on your part … My co-workers would not have been at the grocery store. The fun wasn't in the beer itself, but in sharing it over a few good laughs with friends.


Fly through the skies with the awesome Halo Falcon 2CH Tandem Double Coaxial RTF RC IR Helicopter. You can now pilot the Halo Falcon outside of the video game. This RC Heli comes fully detailed as if it had jumped out of the screen and into your hands! What makes this RC Heli unique is that is uses a Tandem Double Coaxial flight system. You get two coaxial rotors spinning 8 blades to bring this Falcon to flight! It is extremely detailed as well. Machine guns, armor, and landing skids are just a few of the details replicated from the game. The Falcon charges directly from the transmitter so you're ready to go! Fly into battle with the RC Halo Falcon!
Sorry the Halo Falcon 2CH Tandem Double Coaxial RC IR Helicopter is currently out of stock.

Posted by David Miller as Miniatures, Modern Board Games, RPGs, War Games
CMON is developing a miniatures board game based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire series (that's the novels, rather than the A Game of Thrones television show). To make that game, CMON is of a fashion borrowing the A Song of Ice & Fire license from Dark Sword Miniatures, which has been producing related minis for some time (in PR terms, they've entered a partnership). CMON, though, is working on a complete tabletop game, which the company promises will handle scenarios ranging from small skirmishes to large-scale battles with hundreds of figures.
IDW Games has licensed three early video game titles from Atari: Missile Command, Asteroids, and Centipede. IDW says the line of board games will be "fun, intense and fast-paced." The first out will be Centipede this fall.

A Sweet Relationship
Tour de Donut bike ride and city of Troy happy to have each other
Like a soft, yeast doughnut smothered with glaze icing the Tour de Donut bicycle ride and the city of Troy have quickly become a tasty pair.
This year's 12th annual Tour de Donut ride on Saturday, Aug. 25, starts and ends in historic downtown Troy. It's the second year in a row the event has taken place in Troy, says Leiann Stewart, group sales manager with the Miami County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and businesses in the city couldn't be happier.
That's because the nearly 2,500 bike riders at last year's event, the largest one-day cycling event in Ohio that's known as the Sweetest Ride in Ohio, came from about 30 states and Canada, she says. That equates to a lot of exposure for the businesses in Troy and Miami County, says Stewart.
"Having (the Tour de Donut) right down here in historic downtown Troy is beautiful and provides our restaurants, hotels and our shops an opportunity to potentially increase their business," she says.
Ride founder and organizer Roger Bowersock is equally as happy to have the event in Troy after the ride outgrew its previous location in the village of Arcanum. "There were so many things that are offered (in Troy) that participants really like it," says Bowersock. "It was really a no-brainer to move to Troy and the increase in participation reflected how excited everybody else was about it, too." Last year's event drew about 500 more riders than the previous year, he says.
The Tour de Donut is a timed bike ride of 18 miles (Mini), 36 miles (Full) or 62 miles (Double D). The unique part of the Tour de Donut is that riders have their total time reduced by five minutes for each glazed doughnut they swallow along the way from Schuler's Bakery in Springfield. About 15,000 glazed doughnuts are consumed during the event, says Bowersock.
The last stop on the ride features two special "Glazer" doughnuts that were chosen by judges during this year's Troy Strawberry Festival. Those doughnuts—the Classic Crunch from Charlie's Pastry Shop in Celina and the "Dream Cycle" from Dobo's Delights Bake Shoppe in Piqua—reduce a rider's time by 10 minutes, says Bowersock.
But it's not just the doughnuts that make the Tour de Donut event in Troy so special. There's plenty of family entertainment offered the day before and the day of the event on Troy's square, says Stewart. Starting at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24, there will be a children's area, a doughnut-eating contest, a river exhibit with kayak demonstrations and three bands live on stage, she says. Beer and wine will be sold until 10:30 p.m.
On Saturday the children's activities continue along with food trucks, beer and wine sales, the Troy Farmers Market, more bands and the Columbus Zoo's babies program, says Stewart.
The sweet relationship between the Tour de Donut event and the city of Troy is one that Stewart hopes to continue for many more years. "We're happy to have them," says Stewart.

Abstract: This dissertation provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling (DVFS) in the High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. We summarize the overall problem as follows: how can the same level of computational performance be achieved using less electrical power? Equivalently, how can computational performance be increased using the same amount of electrical power? In this dissertation we present performance and architecture models of DVFS as well as the Adagio runtime system.
The performance model recasts the question as an optimization problem that we solve using linear programming, thus establishing a bound on potential energy savings. The architectural model provides a low-level explanation of how memory bus and CPU clock frequencies interact to determine execution time. Using insights provided from these models, we have designed and implemented the Adagio runtime system. This system realizes near-optimal energy savings on real-world scientific applications without the use of training runs or source code modification. This work has opened up several new avenues of research, and we conclude this dissertation by enumerating these.

Nokia expands consumer healthcare device portfolio, ditches Withings brand
Nokia has launched two new healthcare devices as it rebranded the Withings subsidiary it acquired last year.
The Finland-based vendor unveiled Nokia Body, a BMI Wi-Fi connected scale, and Nokia BPM+, a compact blood pressure monitor, to sit alongside the likes of activity and sleep trackers that have already been launched.
Nokia said it had also redesigned its Health Mate app to include a host of new features such as a pregnancy tracker.
The company acquired digital healthcare company Withings for €170 million last year in a bid to make health a key part of its IoT strategy.
Nokia said it was working with institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, the Mayo Clinic, the American Medical Group Association and the University of Helsinki to "transform the dynamic between patients, doctors and the medical community with tools focused on the prevention of chronic conditions".
Cedric Hutchings, Vice President of Digital Health at Nokia, said: "Today's launch extends the accessibility of our products to a broader range of users and needs, giving families the personalised experience they need to live healthier lives together."
Nokia Chief Medical Officer Matthew Diamond, added: "Nokia is committed to shifting the focus from treatment to prevention, empowering consumers to take control of their health."
Withings helped push revenues at Nokia's Technologies division up 25 percent to €247 million in the first three months of the year.
Yesterday, Nokia unveiled an "immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience" at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in a bid to showcase its health portfolio to consumers.
The digital advertising concept, featuring Nokia's OZO+ camera, enables customers to explore the products and purchase them directly.
The "first-of-its-kind e-commerce integration" pushes uses to click on "pop-up views" of the products, which takes them to Nokia's website where they can purchase the products.

Liz Cheney, Elisa Stefanik take shots at each other over political allegiances
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) is the fifth House member and fourth Republican to incur a $5,000 fine for improperly complying with security screening.
House Sergeant at Arms William Walker notified Ethics Committee chairman Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of the violation by Foxx on Friday, but the committee did not publish the notice until Tuesday.
According to an unidentified Capitol Police sergeant, Foxx "ran through the magnetometer, activating the alarm" while heading to the House floor for a vote on Thursday afternoon. The sergeant added that Foxx stashed her bag underneath a table next to the magnetometer and ignored requests from two officers to undergo screening.
After Foxx voted, the sergeant said, she returned to the magnetometer to be screened, telling the officers: "Good thing no one stopped me."
Around that time, one of the officers manning the magnetometer said he was approached by Politico reporter Olivia Beavers, who allegedly told him: "I don't know if it changes anything, but I don't want to get you guys in trouble. But I'm going to be reporting on that."
Foxx, who was first elected to Congress in 2004, could not immediately be reached by the Post for comment. Beavers reported Friday that when she asked Foxx about the incident, the congresswoman responded: "I didn't think the metal detector went off. I was late to vote. I barely made it. I ran back out and went back in."
When Beavers tried to ask a follow-up question, Foxx cut her off and asked, "Why don't you deal with things that are important?"
Metal detectors were installed outside the House chamber following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The House voted in February to make noncompliance with screenings punishable with a $5,000 fine for a first offense and $10,000 for a second offense.
Foxx can appeal the fine, but has not yet done so, according to The Hill.
Along with Foxx, Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) and Hal Rogers (R-Ga.) have been hit with fines, along with House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.).

Panama, ports and the future
In the last few years almost every significant Caribbean country has announced that they are upgrading their port facilities and preparing to compete to attract the larger post-Panamax vessels that from some time in 2015 will be transiting an enlarged Panama Canal.
Such is the opportunity, given the Caribbean's strategic location at the cross roads of north-south and east-west trade, and its numerous existing or new locations for deepwater ports, that Jamaica, Martinique, Cuba, Trinidad, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic have all made clear, that with the support of one or another foreign investor, port development will become critical to future growth.
However, what is still far from certain is whether there is enough opportunity for all of the existing or proposed super ports, hubs, and manufacturing and transhipment zones to succeed.
Winners from the new Canal
Viewed from another perspective, the more one speaks to experts, the less clear it is whether the winners will be those who have made an early start; those that are encouraging investment in co-located assembly, manufacturing and services, as well as transhipment; or those who have internationally respected marketing partners or shipping lines that can ensure success.
This is not to argue that any particular proposal is unviable, but to suggest that these are among the factors, along with competitive rates, high levels of productivity, and a straightforward regulatory environment, that will enable the Caribbean to take advantage of its physical location.
The issue of viability is far from simple as there are also other factors at play including
the deepening and enlargement of a number of already competitive US east coast ports;
vast 'capesize' vessels now being constructed by major shipping lines like Maersk that will, as their name suggests, sail far to the south and not pass through the Caribbean;
plans for new trans-American rail links;
and the possibility of a new Chinese financed canal across Nicaragua.
Which is to say little about possible delays to investment in the Caribbean and other parts of the world as a result of structural changes in China's economy as it starts to address its own financial and economic problems by restricting credit for overseas investments.
North Caribbean port gains
This suggests that the most likely long-term winners may be Jamaica and Cuba, for very different reasons, plus the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic which already have an established business and the benefit respectively of Hutchison Wamphoa and Dubai Ports as operators.
It seems also to point to success for those ports further south like Curacao that are seeking niches in ship repair and are known to be efficient, and proposals such as those in relatively embryonic form in Guyana and Suriname for ports linked to opening up parts of Brazil.
Although Jamaica has come late to the party, its geographic location, virgin deepwater site and its plans to become a logistics hub, suggest success if it can mobilise the investment necessary to develop a related manufacturing base and ensure that that Jamaican's benefit from employment, not just in the construction phase, but from all subsequent economic activity.
Assembling around Cuba
Cuba's new port at Mariel is another interesting example of forward thinking.
Because of the restrictions on trade as a result of the US embargo, the creation of the development zone around it is potentially far more important.
In the 180 square miles surrounding the port of Mariel, Cuba plans not just to encourage foreign owned high-tech assembly and manufacturing - the large Chinese car company Geely International is interested in an assembly operation there - but also sees the site, and others planned elsewhere
as locations for joint ventures in research and services;
as a new quasi-offshore home for overseas investment in leisure facilities and villas;
and has established preferential tax laws relating for operations in such zones.
It is probably also no coincidence that the first vessel to unload its cargo in Mariel was a US flag carrier with a cargo of food from the US being sold under licence; an indication of what one day Mariel might become, given its location just 28 miles from Havana and 240 miles from Miami.
Looking outwards
Port development requires the Caribbean to look outwards, make use of natural advantage on globally competitive terms and be future proofed for at least twenty to thirty years.
As this column noted last week, in the longer term the nature of future development and investment will be very different as machines begin to take over many everyday tasks, making even the most productive low cost and unskilled labour less relevant.
Already many of the activities in the most efficient container ports are computerised.
This means that what is required is for a port to be seen either, as is the case in Cuba and Jamaica, as a way of stimulating use of the country as an offshore location for everything from manufacturing to research and services, or as in very different ways, Guyana and Suriname see their future port development as opening up opportunity for others - in their case Brazil and China.
Put another way, port development, if well considered, conforms to a model that recognises the limitations of the Caribbean's size, resource and geography, does not look back, eschews aspects of sovereignty, accepts globalisation, and pragmatically accepts that the Caribbean's future role is as a facilitator for others whether they be tourists or socially responsible multinationals.
This is a message that much of the region's private sector and particularly small island governments have yet to embrace.
It implies that the Caribbean economy of the future has to be less protectionist and defensive, become skills and knowledge based, and relentlessly focus on education at tertiary and higher levels, to build skills for tomorrow.
