The Higgs Field. Explains that the Higgs Field is a Newtonian Field in Spacetime.
It is strongly suggested to also read the precedent pages.
In 1964 three groups of physicists released papers describing how masses could be given to particles. This approach allowed the particles to obtain a mass, without breaking other parts of particle physics theory that were already believed reasonably correct. This idea became known as the Higgs Mechanism, which is described below.
Given a suitable accelerator and appropriate detectors, physicists recorded trillions of particles colliding, analyzeed the data for collisions likely to be a Higgs boson. Then they performed further analysis to test how likely it is that the results combined show a Higgs Boson does exist. Finally, the discovery of the Higgs Boson was done on July 4, 2012, followed by a Nobel Prize in 2013.

The Higgs Mechanism is often credited by academic Physicists with explaining the "origin" or "genesis" of mass. But there is some doubt as to whether the Higgs mechanism provides sufficient insight into the actual nature of mass. As Max Jammer puts it, "if a process generates mass, it may reasonably be expected to provide information about the nature of what it generates as well". In other words, the Higgs mechanism is accurate, it has been verified by experimentation, but does not fully contribute to our understanding of the nature of mass.
In quantum field theory, the fundamental entities are not particles but fields, like the electromagnetic field. Particles are represented by oscillations or persistent changes in these fields. The oscillations in the electromagnetic field are called photons; those in the Higgs field are called Higgs Bosons.
To date, several moot points concerning the Higgs Field exist. These points are discussed in the index page of this website. Replacing the Higgs Field by a "Newtonian Field in spacetime created by the closed volumes of the particles or atoms" solves these debatable points and extends the mass/Higgs Mechanism to gravitation.
The figure (a) below shows that when the star moves through the party, she attracts the people closest to her. This increases her resistance to movement. In other words, an external observer could think that she aquires mass, just like a particle moving through the Higgs Field. This scheme is called the "Higgs Mechanism".
b/ The "Spacetime Model" proposed in this website.
The basic principle is identical to the Higgs Mechanism. The closed volumes of the four particles in orange curve spacetime. In the center, the high density of spacetime will increase the resistance to movement of the blue particle. An external observer could think that the blue particle aquires mass because it does not move freely, just like in the Higgs Mechanism.
NOTE: This view is for teaching use only and shows that the two mechanisms are almost identical. In reality, the particles in orange are not essential. As explained in the "Mass" webpage, each closed volume, such as the blue particle, deforms spacetime. In consequence, the blue particle creates itself its own "Higgs Field".
As we see, the Higgs Mechanism is identical to the Spacetime Model. The major difference is the nature of the medium.
The medium is a "Higgs Field" that comes from the energy of a vacuum which permeates all space. This is pure speculation because the Higgs Boson has always been detected near particles. This means that we do not know if the Higgs Field permeates all space or is locally created by the particle itself or by surrounding particles.
Moreover, the potential is missing if we consider that the "Higgs Field" comes from the energy of a vacuum. Therefore, the "Higgs Field" is not in accordance with the "Theory of Potential".
In the theory proposed here, the medium is simply spacetime, discovered by Einstein in the 1910s. Spacetime permeates all space but as a flat Minkovski spacetime, i.e. an "inactive" spacetime. The "active" field which is at the origin of mass is mainly created by the particle itself. The particles(s) involved in the interaction may also increase this field.
In a general manner, each particle curves spacetime, and this curvature increase its resistance to movement. This mechanism explains why a particle gets mass, more exactly a "mass effect" since it is a virtual effect.
Please also note that the closed volume of the particle is at the origin of the scalar potential associated to this "Newtonian Field in spacetime". So, contrary to the Higgs Field, The "Spacetime Model" explanation is in full agrement with the "Theory of Potential".
It gives the solution of several enigmas of physics, such as "How can we explain E = mc2" or "How can light be curved near a mass" (see the next webpage "Applications").

Greece: Latest working life developments Q4 2018
Georgiadou, Penny
The launch of a new mechanism for determining the minimum wage for 2019, the positions of social partners with respect to an increase in the minimum wage, a social security subsidy for younger workers, and general strikes in the public and private sectors are the main topics of interest in this article. This country update reports on the latest developments in working life in Greece in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Application of new mechanism for determining minimum wage
A new mechanism for determining the minimum wage, which has been frozen at €586 since 2012, is being applied for the first time in Greece. An amendment to Law 4172/2013 established specific dates for the consultation period, which started on 21 August 2018 and is scheduled to end on 31 January 2019.
The new mechanism provides for the development of a step-by-step consultation process involving the social partners, specialised scientific research bodies and experts on the economy, and experts in labour planning, social policy and industrial relations. The consultation coordination committee consists of the president of the Mediation and Arbitration Service (OMED) as chairman, a representative of the Ministry of Labour and a representative of the Ministry of Finance. The stages have been planned within a strict timeframe.
The first stage involves the creation of a dossier with proposals, studies and memoranda from the social partners and scientific bodies (including the results of a meeting of the tripartite social dialogue meeting organised by the coordination committee). All material is then sent to the Centre of Planning and Economic Research (KEPE), which is supervised by the Ministry of Finance and responsible for drafting a proposal on the level of the minimum wage. Next, the Council of Ministers discusses the KEPE's proposal and then the Minister of Labour (in cooperation with the Minister of Finance) decides on the level of the minimum wage.
As well as setting the new minimum wage at the end of January 2019, the sub-minimum wage of €510, applicable since 2012 for workers under 25 years of age, will be abolished.
By the end of October 2018, the social partners involved in the consultation had sent their proposals and the memoranda of their scientific bodies to the tripartite coordination committee. The social partners (with the exception of the Greek General Confederation of Labour (GSEE)) held talks with the coordination committee on 16 November. However, they did not discuss the rate at which the minimum wage should increase.
Government of Greece: Φορολογία εισοδήματος, επείγοντα μέτρα εφαρμογής του ν. 4046/2012, του ν. 4093/2012 και του ν. 4127/2013 (Law 4172/2013)
Social partners divided over minimum wage
There were significant differences among the proposals from social partners regarding the minimum wage.
The GSEE submitted its proposals, but did not attend the consultation meeting for political reasons. The confederation disagrees, both in principle and in terms of the procedure, with the new mechanism for determining the minimum wage. Instead, it seeks the statutory restoration of the minimum wage to €751 for all workers – as it was under the 2010 National General Collective Bargaining Agreement and before the statutory reduction of the minimum wage in 2012. The confederation also seeks to reintroduce the system where the minimum wage is determined after collective bargaining between the national social partners.
All the employer organisations expressed doubts and set requirements with regard to any increase in the minimum wage.
The Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) stressed that unless a wage increase is the result of improved productivity and non-wage competitiveness, it could create problems for many businesses. The federation proposed a comprehensive set of actions, including increasing the minimum wage in line with the average productivity of the economy, introducing a corresponding reduction in social security contributions and subsidising contributions for new entrants to the labour market.
The Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE) proposed a gradual increase of the minimum wage over four years, to reach €751 by 2022, and stressed the need to reduce non-wage costs. It also called for the rationalisation of the contributions of self-employed professionals.
The Hellenic Confederation of Professionals, Craftsmen and Merchants (GSEVEE) argued in favour of reinstating the system for determining the minimum wage after collective bargaining between the social partners. The confederation believes that any increase in the minimum wage should be linked to a reduction in non-wage costs.
The Federation of Industries of Northern Greece (SVVE) argued in favour of a gradual increase in the minimum wage over three years, as long as the rate of increase is in line with the actual cost capabilities of existing businesses and is combined with a reduction in employer contributions for both employers and employees.
Social security subsidy for younger employees
As of January 2019, Law 4583/2018 will provide for the application of a programme to subsidise the monthly social security contributions of private sector employees up to 25 years of age. The subsidy will be granted by the Unified Social Security Fund (EFKA) and will cover 50% of the employer's contributions to a main pension, or 6.6% of the employee's gross earnings.
General strikes in the private and public sectors
Before the vote on the 2019 budget, the Civil Servants' Confederation (ADEDY) and the GSEE called general strikes on 14 and 28 November 2018, respectively. The main demands of the ADEDY strikers were:
an increase in wages and pensions
the abolition of the 2016 law on pension cuts and the raising of the retirement age
a reduction of the tax burden
The main demands of the GSEE strikers were:
the statutory restoration of the minimum wage to €751
the restoration of collective bargaining to determine the minimum wage
a fair and sustainable social security system without any cuts in pensions or benefits
In the fourth quarter of 2018, following the end of the Third Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece, the consultation on raising the minimum wage and the abolition of the sub-minimum wage has given rise to conflict between social partners, despite the fact that the reduced minimum wage has remained frozen since 2012.

Over at ihobo today, I put myself out on a limb and predict a new handheld device from Nintendo that literally nobody else thinks is possible. Check out my reasoning with Pokémon: What Nintendo Didn't Say... over at ihobo.com and see what you think!
Update: I took the post down for reasons explained in the comments, but you can still read the original article in the comments to this article, below.
Over at ihobo today, yet more Pokémon GO reporting, this time looking at how the player community is adjusting to the update after a week.
Why so much on this game? Well, partly because this update is a big deal for Niantic and I want to chip in some professional perspective on it. Mainly because it's a rare case of something having happened in the games industry that I'm actually interested in, so it's a good opportunity to rebuild my blogging momentum. I have other blog pieces in production at the moment, but I'm struggling to get the time to work on them. Conversely, cranking out a thousand words on the game I'm playing with my kids is relatively easy win for me... it keeps me blogging, at that's valuable to me in and of itself.
My ongoing coverage of the recent update to Pokémon GO continues on ihobo today, focussing on the first weekend of Raids.
Over on ihobo this morning, a report on the first night of Niantic's new gym system. It was indeed a colossal land grab, although the gym defence meta-game is going to be shaken up in good ways by the new setup. Not so sure about the players' opinions of Niantic after the cash-strangle, though… Check out Wave Goodbye to the 3,000 CP Overlords if you have an interest in the game.
Check it out over at the PPh website!
I can only applaud this analysis by Nicholas Lovell about the use of Shouty Men in Hats on Apples' app store. I too had noticed this – but it took Nicholas' keen business sense to turn that observation into a salient summary of a trend. Check it out at Gamesbrief!
There are guns in Sunset, but you never see them. Indeed, this is a game that spectacularly eschews conventional spectacle. Throughout the games' slowly-unfolding story, a civil war against a 1970s South American dictatorship is witnessed both from a distance – the sound of gunfire in the streets, an explosion at a neighbouring building – and from the intimate inside, since the player serves as maid to a key politician-turned-rebel. It is an ambitious, highly theatrical staging, and admirable when it works, which it does more often than not… Yet to treat Sunset purely as a narrative game is to rob it of its greatest achievement, and perhaps also to misunderstand one of the layers of meaning wrapped up in its name.
You can read the entirety of Sunset over on ihobo.com.

Busty News & Rumours
Beth Lily Christmas return for Daily Star, Page3 and Comedy show
Dec 19, 2016 Beth Lily
Call it a Christmas miracle, call it one more shoot or just call it big boobs are back. Busty Super Star Beth Lily decided to return to modeling. She just posed one more time for Page3. Busty Beth said that she decided to do this as many fans were posting on foums that they wanted to see her again on Page3. Beth Lily was the Page3 girl of 2015. The busty brit was supposed to become the next Lucy Pinder or Kate Upton; however, earlier this year she announced her retirement from topless modeling and any modeling. It seems that while we may not see Beth Lily's large boobies naked again anytime soon -perhaps never again- it is good to know that there still will be new hot photos of this bombshell.
Beth Lily told the Daily Star that she has launched a successful youtube channel about bikers. "I've launched a YouTube channel writing reviews of motorbikes and my story of learning to ride" adds the curvaceous blonde.
This is not the last we will see of Beth. She says: "I was approached by David Walliams to star in his new Christmas TV special, Walliams & Friend. It's such a funny sketch show and I have a part in it… In the sketch I basically have to walk in wearing a Christmas romper with Santa. "I won't give too much more away but it's a really good ending to the show."
So mark you calendars. David Walliams show has Beth Lily on it on December 27th. Beth has also been approached by an agency that makes shows for BBC -that's the network-. So it seems that Beth Lily is on her way to become the star we all thought she would be, only that may not need to show her boobs anymore.

Video: Lenovo & Intel Give Platform to University AI Researchers
January 24, 2019 by staff
In this special guest feature, Dan Olds writes that Lenovo and Intel hosted their second annual University Artificial Intelligence Challenge at SC18 in Dallas. The Challenge aims to recognize outstanding university-based AI researchers for their achievements in the field. The company started this program in 2017, with the goal of encouraging AI research in universities world-wide.
The reward for the winning researchers was an all-expense paid trip to SC18 in Dallas, Texas, plus the opportunity to present their research in the Lenovo SC18 show floor theater. Eight researchers from universities in North America, Europe, and Asia were selected as award winners, seven of them made it to SC18 and presented their findings in the Lenovo booth.
Their research areas are widely varied, and some of their results are, in a word, amazing. It's incredible what can be accomplished by utilizing AI to tackle scientific problems. The universities, researchers, and research area included:
University of Nottingham, UK, Steve Oatley, presented his work on using AI algorithms to accelerate drug discovers. He created an algorithm to speed the development of a treatment for IPF, an aggressive disease that attacks lung function.
University of California San Diego, SDSC, Dr. Andreas Goetz, a computational chemist, showed how he's using AI and Machine Learning in quantum mechanics to run chemical simulations, more specifically atmospheric chemistry.
Yale University, Dr. Thomas Langford, a particle physicist, talked about why he cares about the smallest particles in the universe and how HPC and AI help him in his research. He's working on PROSPECT, the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, which is designed to track particles from the largest explosions in space.
Barcelona Supercomputer Center, UPC, Julita Corbalan, is an associate researcher who specializes in workflows and distributed computing. During her talk, she discussed how she's using AI in the EAR (Energy Management for Supercomputers) project. AI is used to determine the efficiency of a particular application and then to assign the appropriate compute resources to that application in order to optimize supercomputer operations.
University of New Mexico, Matthew Martinez, is a doctoral candidate who has an innovative project to use AI and smart phone sensors to determine the risk of falling for senior citizens. His research could aid in preventing serious medical problems and even deaths that result from falls.
BIOTEC/NSTDA, Thailand, Chumpol Ngamphiw presented his research and activities associated with building a National Biobank Center in Thailand. This center is a repository for plants, microorganisms and cell lines, and even human genomes. The goal of the biobank is to help conserve species and provide long term storage for both physical specimens and data. They will then allow access to academia and industry for the purpose of using AI to develop new medicines, detect pathogens, and breed better food plant.
Rutgers University, Jian Ren, presented his research on using AI and HPC to develop an algorithm to better segment nuclei, which shows the shape and texture properties of the nuclei. This leads to much more accurate diagnostic information showing the stage of prostate cancer in a patient. His algorithm is much more efficient, which speeds time to diagnosis and allows for earlier and better treatment.
For many of the researchers, this was their first opportunity to present their research and conclusions to a large audience. It was obvious that they enjoyed sharing their research in the SC18 venue and interacting with their enthusiastic audiences. Kudos to Lenovo for making the event possible.
The awardees played to a large audience in the Lenovo booth, as can be seen in the videos below, and their presentations covered a wide range of AI research. As can be seen by the videos below, each presenter played to a large audience.
University of California, San Diego, Dr. Andreas Goetz discussed his research in predicting molecular interactions can be used to aid development in energy sustainability, health, along with the climate and environment.
BIOTEC/NSTDA, Thailand, Dr. Chumpol Ngamphiw shared his research in using AI to build a national biobank center in Thailand. A biobank is a repository for plants, microorganisms, cell lines, and digital assets that can be used for research in a variety of ways. Some examples include plant breeding, developing new medicines, genetic testing, and pathogen detection.

If nothing else, during his first few weeks in office President Donald Trump has already succeeded in rattling both friends and foes alike in America and around the world. While it remains to be seen if his frenetic pace and chaotic management style will lead to the kind of change his supporters are hoping for, all of his executive orders and adversarial tweets are aimed at solidifying the support of the older, less-educated white voters who put him in office. In other words, there is a method to President Trump's madness.
But in order to see and understand the political strategy that underlies the frenzied announcements, denouncements and pronouncements, one has to take a step back and view all of them through the prism of a politician running for re-election. That's right. Instead of waiting until after the 2018 mid-terms like all previous Presidents, President Trump kicked off his re-election campaign less than five hours after he was inaugurated.
This was just the first of several moves that demonstrated the new president's commitment to proposing economic and social policies that he and campaign manager Steve Bannon believe will appeal to his voter base. Furthermore, Trump didn't just make Bannon his senior advisor and chief strategist; he also gave him a seat on the National Security Council. Putting the CEO of one's political campaign in the middle of national security deliberations was another unprecedented move.
When one considers these facts, all of his executive actions make perfect political sense. And there's more. Since only the US Congress has the authority to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Trump's executive order on 20 January that declared his intention to repeal it had no effect. But by signing this toothless order, Trump was fulfilling his campaign pledge.
On 25 January, President Trump signed another executive order, this one announcing his intention to build a wall on the Mexican border, detain and deport all illegal immigrants, and hire 5,000 additional border patrol agents. Once again, since Congress has to approve the estimated $25bn required, this order had no real effect. But what it did do was show Trump's supporters that he was keeping his promises.
Two days later, President Trump issued an executive order designed to fulfil his pledge to ban Muslims from entering the United States. But while Trump's previous orders required Congressional approval and funding, that isn't the case in the realm of immigration. The president and his executive branch have pretty wide latitude when it comes to determining refugee, asylum and immigration policies and procedures.
So when President Trump's executive order halted the admission of all refugees into the United States for 120 days, barred the citizens of seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the US, and banned Syrian refugees indefinitely, there was an immediate and decidedly chaotic impact.
After widespread reports of green card holders being detained at US airports and in some cases being deported, thousands of US citizens and lawyers sprung into action. Americans of every race, religion and ethnicity organised round-the-clock protests at airport arrivals halls nationwide. Hundreds of lawyers also set up shop in airport terminals and hotels to provide free legal aid and assistance to those being detained by immigration officials, and their families waiting outside.
Even though it now looks like our judicial system will overturn this Muslim ban, his re-election campaign will nonetheless tout his efforts to keep his promises.
I also believe President Trump's pugnacious negotiating style will not serve America's best interests domestically or globally. In business you determine how much money is at stake, review the ways you and the other side could structure the deal, and then either negotiate an agreement in your financial interests, or walk away from the table.
However, in the realm of domestic politics and on the world stage, President Trump will be negotiating with competing and often conflicting economic and political realities. For example, Trump's proposed tax on imports may help some US manufacturers but also hurt others that rely on imports. Furthermore, a tax on imports would probably have a negative effect on the profits of retailers who sell imported goods, as well as the wallets of consumers who buy them.
On the international stage, things are even more complicated.

Here at Phoenix we're in the middle of upgrading our websites to use PHP7 instead of PHP5.6. PHP5 has been the world's most popular server scripting language for almost a decade now. The time has come to put the faithful old workhorse to pasture. Our website is already using PHP7 and reaping the benefits.
Going by the pingdom tools load times that is a 25% smaller average loading time upgrading from PHP5.6 to PHP7.0. Not too shabby. Going by the average server wait time, the saving is 33.7%. Apparently 7.0 also uses less memory than 5.6 but I didn't test that. If you're interested, HAR files for the tests are downloadable right here.
Why upgrade PHP now? Why not earlier?
The first public release of PHP7 was in November 2015, almost a year at time of writing. We've waited until now to implement it because many WordPress plugin developers hadn't updated their code to handle PHP7. PHP7 removes all deprecated functionality of PHP5 and makes some other backward incompatible changes. The result is that upgrading to PHP7 is only safe when the code has been prepared for it. The core WordPress development team made sure WordPress was compatible with PHP7 on the day of release. All the major WordPress plugins are now compatible with PHP7. At this stage a plugin which breaks with PHP7 is probably not worth using.
Incidentally, if you're wondering what happened to PHP6, it does exist but it never left the experimental stage. PHP6 was an attempt to integrate unicode support into the language and was something of a failure. Development was abandoned in 2010. You can read more about PHP6 here.
If your web developer hasn't yet transferred your website to PHP7 give them a nudge. There are plenty of upsides and no downsides to upgrading and the time has come.

System Wide Proxy Settings « Jorge's Quest For Knowledge!
Imagine you want to achieve something on a list of servers, and for that you want to use remote PowerShell. Good idea!
You copy the script into a PowerShell command prompt window, and….., life is good!
You copy the script into a PowerShell command prompt window, and….., life is suddenly not that good!
What the heck! You try to troubleshoot this one, and it may appear to be a tough nut to crack! Although this error message may give you a hint in which direction you should look at, but in my personal case I got the "Access Denied" error. In summary, remote PowerShell while using NetBIOS names was successful and it failed while using FQDNs. At first I started to check the WinRM settings. Again, in my case there was nothing that gave me a hint what could be wrong, until I started to do some network traces, and that's when I understand what could be wrong. In the network trace I saw, when using FQDNs, that the proxy server was being accessed. Now why the heck is remote PowerShell trying to access the server through the Proxy Server?
With this blog post, I want to save you a long period of swearing and hair pulling.
With <local>, I first thought that would support both FQDNs and NetBIOS names. WRONG!!!
As mentioned in MS-KBQ262981, "<local>" only covers NetBIOS name style addresses, and NOT FQDNs. Therefore, any FQDN needs to be explicitly specified or be covered by some wildcard FQDN.
So, what was the solution in my case?
Answer: Add the wildcard FQDN that covers my internal AD forest. Therefore "*.IAMTEC.NET" should be added to the bypass list!
NETSH WINHTTP SET PROXY PROXY-SERVER="GATEWAY.IAMTEC.NET:3128" BYPASS-LIST="*.iamtec.net;*.iamtec.nl;<local>"
REMARK: when configuring the System Wide Proxy Settings, services that leverage those settings may exist that need to be restarted to consume the new configuration. One of those examples is ADFS. However, this does not apply to Remote PowerShell.
Now let's retry the script that uses the FQDN of the servers. Yes, life is good again!
So your ADFS server requires access to the internet, what do you do? In general there are 2 options to get this done, being either directly bypassing any proxy or strait through the proxy. However, how do you tell ADFS to use a proxy?
Let's first think why you would have your ADFS servers accessing the internet.
First of all, when you have a federation trust setup with a cloud-based system/application (e.g. Azure AD, Amazon Federation Web Services, etc.) that supports and publishes federation metadata, you of course want your ADFS servers to consume that federation metadata automatically, saving you manual work. This really helps you when a federation partner updates it's Token Signing certificates when the old certificates are due to expire.
The second and last reason is to be able to perform certificate chain validation and checking the revocation status of the certificate. This of course applies to any certificate issued by a certificate authority. More information about this can be found in (2015-10-10) Certificate Chain Validation And Revocation Status Checking In ADFS.
When performing certificate chain validation of an external third-party certificate, access to the internet is required if the certificates of the root and/or the intermediate CA are not installed in the LocalMachine store.
To be able to check for the revocation status of an external third-party certificate, access to the CRL distribution points is required.
Achieving this by allowing the ADFS servers to bypass any proxy is the easiest way as you do not have to configure anything on the ADFS servers and you do not need to configure anything network related in addition. A huge downside is that there is no control who is accessing what on the internet. An ADFS server, which can be compared to a writeable domain controller, might misused to access compromsied web sites.
A better way is to allow access to the internet through a proxy server. This helps you to tailor what you allow to be accessed and what you do not allow to be accessed on the internet from the ADFS servers. With the knowledge of what needs to be accessible by the ADFS servers you can now configure the proxy server to only allow that. Adjustments are needed if you are federating with a new partner that publishes federation metadata or a federation partner uses a third-party certificate from a third-party CA you do not yet trust. Of course cleanup is also required if for example a federation trust is decommissioned. When configuring the proxy server prevent configuring proxy server rules through the IPs of the targeted servers on the internet. As you do not have control on what a federation partner or a certificate issuer does, which regards to IP addressing, it is not recommended to use that. I prefer to allow access based upon the hostnames, or even just domains, used in the federation metadata URL, the AIA extension URLs and the CDP extension URLs, as that is most likely not to change.
The information below applies to ADFS v2.x and higher!
<Local Addresses> <== This only applies to NetBIOS name style addresses, and not (local) FQDNs!
NETSH WINHTTP SET PROXY PROXY-SERVER="GATEWAY.IAMTEC.NET:3128" BYPASS-LIST="*.iamtec.net;*.iamtec.nl;*.partner.lan;<local>"
By default, ADFS starts the trust monitoring cycle every 24 hours (1440 minutes). When you check the ADFS Properties (Get-ADFSProperties), you will most likely see (if you did not change it!) that the "MonitoringInterval" property is configured with the value 1440. If you temporarily lower that value to, let's say, 1 minute, you can actively see if the configured proxy settings are working and if ADFS is able to pass through the proxy.
When ADFS initiates the trust monitoring cycle, you will see the following event ID.
When ADFS completes the trust monitoring cycle, you will see the following event ID.
Somewhere between those 2 event IDs you may find event IDs, but that depends if it was successful or not. If a specific federation trust is configured with a federation metadata URL and at least monitoring is enabled, you will not find any event ID if the monitoring was successful for that federation trust. However, if for some reason the monitoring was not successful for a specific federation trust, you will find the following event ID stating that monitoring failed.
Be aware, that the 'LastMonitoredTime' is updated, whether or not the monitoring was successful. Therefore, if you see an updated 'LastMonitoredTime' and no event ID exist for that specific federation trust (as shown in picture 9), you can be sure that access through the proxy using the configured proxy settings is successful!
Remember that the 'LastUpdateTime' will only be updated, if there is something new to update!

The Dark Horse (2016) Movie Review
April 8, 2016 Alex Brannan Leave a comment
Genesis (Cliff Curtis), a severely bipolar man, walks through the rain into a game shop after escaping from an institution. He begins playing a game of chess with himself, mumbling all of the possible moves to himself.
The savant is later released into the care of his brother, who has social troubles of his own that leaves little time to accommodate Genesis. Genesis finds an old friend who runs a chess club, and he strives to take the club of children to a national championship. But Genesis has to deal with his troubled family, gang life, and his own mental stability on top of that.
The acting from all involved in this film is stellar. But it is our lead Curtis that shines above the rest. The trouble in Genesis' head comes off just enough to not become cliche, and the power of expression in Curtis' face alone is worthy of the highest praise. This is Curtis' film, and he takes hold of it with full force.
James Rolleston, the young actor playing Mana, Genesis' nephew, also gives a performance of note. His character placed in the conflict role, Rolleston has the hard task of showing a depth of conflicted emotions through terse dialogue and nonverbal communication. Where Curtis steals most scenes that he is in, Rolleston holds his own in scenes they share. Their scenes together are some of the most poignant of the movie.
The script of The Dark Horse may work on over-sentimentality at times, but it steers such a controlled ship through dramatic tension and heart-warmth that this is excusable.
In fact, The Dark Horse is one of those rare films that has universal appeal while not being particularly "safe." The film isn't afraid to go to a dark place, yet it isn't so overbearing in those moments that it is likely to turn off the average moviegoer.
Narratively, the world of this film is crafted simply but with balance. It is a two-toned world, dichotomous as if split down the middle with train tracks. Perhaps this makes the conflict too transparent. But that isn't where the nuance of the film lies. The nuance is in character, and the characters are developed to transcend the dichotomy.
The Dark Horse blends strong characters and stronger performances to get beyond a basic conflict structure and provide an emotional resonance that stays with you after the film is over.
As always, thanks for reading!

California's Mt Baldy Resort Re-Opens for Skiing
Mt Baldy has become the first ski area in North America to re-open for snow sports after closing a month ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mt Baldy Resort is located in the San Gabriel Mountains in San Bernadino, Southern California, just 45 miles from the city of Los Angeles.
On Wednesday, San Bernardino County leaders softened restrictions for several outdoor activities, meaning the resort was able to re-open, but only for experienced advanced and above skiers and snowboarders, and with very stringent social distancing guidelines in operation.
The resort is following a model "similar to how a golf course operates", meaning a maximum of four people will be 'checked in' at ten-minute intervals. Mask or face covering is also necessary at all times.
All skiers will be required to have a pre-booked 1 Day Alpine Lift Ticket (currently priced at $99) or a Mt Baldy Season Pass, to ensure that sales are limited and the resort will be operating at less than 10% of occupancy.
In terms of lifts, Mt Baldy Resort suggest that skiers ride alone, unless riding with someone you are currently in quarantine with. However they have also stressed that Mt Baldy is "not the 'Quarantine Police' and does not intend to be" in guidelines published on their website.
As LA's closest ski resort, the news of the resort's reopening will be sure to delight some snow sports fans in the area, though others consider it to be too soon for resorts to reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The amount of happy faces we've seen today kind of says it all," Robby Ellingson, the resort general manager, told NBC Los Angeles.

Hi there, I guess you are pretty busy but thought I'd ask a favour anyhow. I read the Vox article on Serena Williams and watched the video attached to it about how 'Race is not biologically real' and found it very interesting, can you direct me to articles written by people who identify with specific races such as African American or Indigenous Australian that give their outlook on this and/or more detailed information explaining this concept. I have shared the video on my Facebook page and expect people to question it and would like to be better able to respond to them without making racist or insensitive comments myself. Thanks

Hey Rachel,
Thanks for reaching out! Here are a few articles that we think powerfully shed light on the social construction of race. If these pique your interest, I also recommend the book "How Real is Race?: A sourcebook on Race, Culture, and Biology," which explores this concept in a highly informative but engaging and easy-to-read manner.

The "Saturday Night Fever" actor's latest selfie went viral earlier this week, as fans flooded the comments section of his Instagram to express how much they love his bald new 'do. In response, Travolta took to Instagram on Wednesday to thank his followers for their support -- especially after they got him to past the one million mark!
"Hey there," he started a video alongside his son. "Ben Travolta [and] John Travolta here. We're dirt biking today, and we just got the great news that we've hit over a million followers on Instagram. We love you and thank you."
"Also, thanks for liking the new hairdo!" he added with a smile as he took off his baseball hat.
To my 1 million followers, thank you so much for your support!! Love you all!
"John, hair is so overrated, love the picture. Very Handsome," one person commented. Another person called it his "BEST look yet!"
"No more toupees! rock what y'momma gave you!!" the person added.
"This proves it a man is like a fine bottle of wine," another follower proclaimed. "It just gets better with time."
What do you think of John Travolta's new look?

PVC is an amorphous polymer and as a result its products are basically transparent. PVC products are non-transparent when they are manufactured using compounding agents that are non-compatible. The haze value is used to measure the transparency of plastic products.
This value is a percentage value calculated by dividing the diffused light transmittance of the test piece with the total light transmittance. It is also possible to manufacture PVC products with superior gloss.
Gloss is expressed in terms of gloss value, which usually shows the amount of reflected light from the test piece compared to amount of reflected light from glass (amount from glass defined as 100%).
The table shows the haze value and gloss value of PVC films compared with other films made of general purpose plastics. The smaller the haze value, the higher the transparency, and higher gloss values indicate enhanced gloss.
Rigid PVC products that have high transparency are used in construction materials such as day-lighting, transparent partitions for clean rooms, or industrial flat plates, corrugated panels.
They are also used in packaging (blisters). Examples of flexible PVC products requiring transparency are wrap films, transparent bags and coating films.


There's so much more to do. How often in our lives, have we heard "just get some sleep tonight and everything will look better tomorrow"? The little misfortunes of the day disappear by morning or least become manageable. We say it to children all the time. When we become adults, we say it to ourselves. We may not know why everything seems better after a good night's sleep, but experience has taught us that it is true.
Sleep helps us learn and improves memory. As you go to sleep, mentally practice tomorrows test questions or practice a triple dive and you will perform better the next day. Visualization before sleep improves memory during sleep of whatever you want to learn. The brain consolidates memories and that makes them stronger. The brain reorganizes memories during sleep, which improve creativity.
Athletes that want to improve their performance should sleep more before an important event. Instead of adding extra hours working out if they sleep ten or more hours each night for a couple of weeks preceding the event, performance is improved. The same is true for students' school performance. Ten hours of sleep for students improves grades and may add points to their overall I.Q. Students who get satisfactory sleep get better grades because their focus and attention span is sharper.
Getting enough sleep does your body good because inflammation is reduced. That reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and arthritis. You are less likely to suffer depression if you get your sleep. Sleep lowers stress and cholesterol, which benefits your heart health. It is curious but dieters who did get enough sleep and those who did not lost the same amount of weight. However, sleepers lost more body fat and non-sleepers lost more lean muscle.
Those who get plenty of healthy sleep live longer. That is expected when we understand the brain uses sleep to repair damaged cells, control our metabolism, reduce inflammation and keep our memory sharp. However, we do not just live longer, we live better.

Three-Dimensional Multi-Scale Simulation for Large-Scale Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
PEMFC (proton exchange membrane or polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell) is a potential candidate as a future power source for automobile applications. Water and thermal management is important to PEMFC operation. Numerical models, which describe the transport and electrochemical phenomena occurring in PEMFCs, are important to the water and thermal management of fuel cells. 3D (three-dimensional) multi-scale CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models take into account the real geometry structure and thus are capable of predicting real operation/performance. In this study, a 3D multi-phase CFD model is employed to simulate a large-scale PEMFC (109.93 cm2) under various operating conditions. More specifically, the effects of operating pressure (1.0-4.0 atm) on fuel cell performance and internal water and thermal characteristics are studied in detail under two inlet humidities, 100% and 40%.
Experimental and Computational Study of the Flow around a Stationary and Rotating Isolated Wheel and the Influence of a Moving Ground Plane
This study investigates the aerodynamic behavior of the flow around a rotating and stationary 60% scale isolated wheel, with and without the use of a moving ground plane. The aim of this research was to improve the understanding of the fundamental aerodynamic flow features around a wheel and to examine how rotation and moving ground planes modify these and affect the production of drag. A bespoke rotating wheel rig was designed and wind tunnel tests were performed over a range of pre to post critical Reynolds numbers. Force coefficients were obtained using balance measurements and flow field data were obtained using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The unsteady flow field data generated was used to validate unsteady CFD predictions. These were performed using STAR-CCM+ and a k-ω SST Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) turbulence model. This was seen to outperform other models by capturing an increased amount of finer detailed, high frequency vortical structures.
A Computational and Experimental Investigation into the Effects of Debris on an Inverted Double Wing in Ground Effect
Cars in several motor sports series, such as Formula 1, make use of multi-element front wings to provide downforce. These wings also provide onset flows to other surfaces that generate downforce. These elements are highly loaded to maximise their performance and are generally operating close to stall. Rubber debris, often known as marbles, created from the high slip experienced by the soft compound tyres can become lodged in the multiple elements of a front wing. This will lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of the wing over the course of a race. This work will study the effect of such debris, both experimentally and numerically, on an inverted double element wing in ground effect at representative Reynolds numbers. The wing was mounted at two different ride heights above a fixed false-floor in the Loughborough University wind tunnel and the effect of debris blockage modelled by closing sections of the gap between elements with tape.
Parametric Study of Asymmetric Side Tapering in Constant Cross Wind Conditions
Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) often have blunt rear end geometries for design and practicality, which is not typically aerodynamic. Drag can be reduced with a number of passive and active methods, which are generally prioritised at zero yaw, which is not entirely representative of the "on road" environment. As such, to combine a visually square geometry (at rest) with optimal drag reductions at non-zero yaw, an adaptive system that applies vertical side edge tapers independently is tested statically. A parametric study has been undertaken in Loughborough University's Large Wind Tunnel with the ¼ scale Windsor Model. The aerodynamic effect of implementing asymmetric side tapering has been assessed for a range of yaw angles (0°, ±2.5°, ±5° and ±10°) on the force and moment coefficients.
The Development of Skutterudite-Based Thermoelectric Generators for Vehicles
With the continuing improvements to thermoelectric (TE) materials and systems, their potential for both energy recovery and thermal management is increasingly apparent. Recent developments in materials and notably Skutterudites have allowed materials to be matched much more closely to the working temperatures of a light duty power-train. The choice of TE materials remains a substantial question in the design of a thermoelectric generator (TEG). While the quest for improvements in materials performance continues, the work reported in this paper is characterized by the decision to focus on the refinement of one class of TE materials: Skutterudites. In parallel, the engineering work on the integration of the TE materials into a heat exchanger could continue and be focused on the properties of this class of material. Skutterudites offer the combination of a high working temperature and a competitive electrical output (defined by ZT, the figure of merit).
Towards Optimal Performance of a Thermoelectric Generator for Exhaust Waste Heat Recovery from an Automotive Engine
Thermoelectric generator has very quickly become a hot research topic in the last five years because its broad application area and very attractive features such as no moving parts, low maintenance, variety of thermoelectric materials that total together cover a wide temperature range. The biggest disadvantage of the thermoelectric generator is its low conversion efficiency. So that when design and manufacture a thermoelectric generator for exhaust waste heat recovery from an automotive engine, the benefit of fuel consumption from applying a thermoelectric generator would be very sensitive to the weight, the dimensions, the cost and the practical conversion efficiency. Additionally, the exhaust gas conditions vary with the change of engine operating point. This creates a big challenge for the design of the hot side heat exchanger in terms of optimizing the electrical output of the thermoelectric generator during an engine transient cycle.
A Comparison of Four Modelling Techniques for Thermoelectric Generator
The application of state-of-art thermoelectric generator (TEG) in automotive engine has potential to reduce more than 2% fuel consumption and hence the CO2 emissions. This figure is expected to be increased to 5%~10% in the near future when new thermoelectric material with higher properties is fabricated. However, in order to maximize the TEG output power, there are a few issues need to be considered in the design stage such as the number of modules, the connection of modules, the geometry of the thermoelectric module, the DC-DC converter circuit, the geometry of the heat exchanger especially the hot side heat exchanger etc. These issues can only be investigated via a proper TEG model. The authors introduced four ways of TEG modelling which in the increasing complexity order are MATLB function based model, MATLAB Simscape based Simulink model, GT-power TEG model and CFD STAR-CCM+ model. Both Simscape model and GT-Power model have intrinsic dynamic model performance.
The Effect of a Sheared Crosswind Flow on Car Aerodynamics
In the wind tunnel the effect of a wind input on the aerodynamic characteristics of any road vehicle is simulated by yawing the vehicle. This represents a wind input where the wind velocity is constant with height above the ground. In reality the natural wind is a boundary layer flow and is sheared so that the wind velocity will vary with height. A CFD simulation has been conducted to compare the aerodynamic characteristics of a DrivAer model, in fastback and squareback form, subject to a crosswind flow, with and without shear. The yaw simulation has been carried out at a yaw angle of 10° and with one shear flow exponent. It is shown that the car experiences almost identical forces and moments in the two cases when the mass flow in the crosswind over the height of the car is similar. Load distributions are presented for the two cases. The implications for wind averaged drag are discussed.
The Effect of Passive Base Ventilation on the Aerodynamic Drag of a Generic SUV Vehicle
Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) typically have a blunt rear end shape (for design and practicality), however this is not beneficial for aerodynamic drag. Drag can be reduced by a number of passive and active methods such as tapering and blowing into the base. In an effort to combine these effects and to reduce the drag of a visually square geometry slots have been introduced in the upper side and roof trailing edges of a squareback geometry, to take air from the freestream and passively injects it into the base of the vehicle to effectively create a tapered body. This investigation has been conducted in the Loughborough University's Large Wind Tunnel with the ¼ scale generic SUV model. The basic aerodynamic effect of a range of body tapers and straight slots have been assessed for 0° yaw. This includes force and pressure measurements for most configurations.
Off-Road Tire-Terrain Interaction: An Analytical Solution
A novel semi-analytical solution has been developed for the calculation of the static and dynamic response of an off road tire interacting with a deformable terrain, which utilizes soil parameters independent of the size of the contact patch (size-independent). The models involved in the solution presented, can be categorized in rigid and/or pneumatic tires, with or without tread pattern. After a concise literature review of related methods, a detailed presentation of the semi-analytical solution is presented, along with assumptions and limitations. A flowchart is provided, showing the main steps of the numerical implementation, and various test cases have been examined, characterized in terms of vertical load, tire dimensions, soil properties, deformability of the tire, and tread pattern. It has been found that the proposed model can qualitatively capture the response of a rolling wheel on deformable terrain.
A Fully Coupled, 6 Degree-of-Freedom, Aerodynamic and Vehicle Handling Crosswind Simulation using the DrivAer Model
In a real-world environment, a vehicle on the road is subjected to a range of flow yaw angles, the most severe of which can impact handling and stability. A fully coupled, six degrees-of-freedom CFD and vehicle handling simulation has modelled the complete closed loop system. Varying flow yaw angles are introduced via time dependent boundary conditions and aerodynamic loads predicted, whilst a handling model running simultaneously calculates the resulting vehicle response. Updates to the vehicle position and orientation within the CFD simulation are achieved using the overset grid method. Using this approach, a crosswind simulation that follows the parameters of ISO 12021:2010 (Sensitivity to lateral wind - Open-loop test method using wind generator input), was performed using the fastback variant of the DrivAer model. Fully coupled aerodynamic and vehicle response was compared to that obtained using the simplified quasi-steady and unsteady, one way coupled method.
Aerodynamic Side Forces on Passenger Cars at Yaw
Side force has an influence on the behaviour of passenger cars in windy conditions. It increases approximately linearly with yaw angle over a significant range of yaw for almost all cars and the side force derivative, (the gradient of side force coefficient with yaw angle), is similar for vehicles of a given category and size. The shape factors and components which affect side force for different vehicle types are discussed. The dominant influence on side force, for most cars, however, is shown to be the vehicle height which is consistent with slender wing theory if the car and its mirror image are considered. This simple theory is shown to apply to 1-box and 2- box shapes, covering most MPVs, hatchbacks and SUVs, but does not adequately represent the side forces on notchback and fastback car shapes. Data from simple bodies is used to develop a modification to the basic theory, which is applied to these vehicle types.
Design and Optimisation of the Propulsion Control Strategy for a Pneumatic Hybrid City Bus
A control strategy has been designed for a city bus equipped with a pneumatic hybrid propulsion system. The control system design is based on the precise management of energy flows during both energy storage and regeneration. Energy recovered from the braking process is stored in the form of compressed air that is redeployed for engine start and to supplement the engine air supply during vehicle acceleration. Operation modes are changed dynamically and the energy distribution is controlled to realize three principal functions: Stop-Start, Boost and Regenerative Braking. A forward facing simulation model facilitates an analysis of the vehicle dynamic performance, engine transient response, fuel economy and energy usage.
Optimization of the Number of Thermoelectric Modules in a Thermoelectric Generator for a Specific Engine Drive Cycle
Two identical commercial Thermo-Electric Modules (TEMs) were assembled on a plate type heat exchanger to form a Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) unit in this study. This unit was tested on the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) flow path of a test engine. The data collected from the test was used to develop and validate a steady state, zero dimensional numerical model of the TEG. Using this model and the EGR path flow conditions from a 30% torque Non-Road Transient Cycle (NRTC) engine test, an optimization of the number of TEM units in this TEG device was conducted. The reduction in fuel consumption during the transient test cycle was estimated based on the engine instantaneous Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC). The perfect conversion of TEG recovered electrical energy to engine shaft mechanical energy was assumed. Simulations were performed for a single TEG unit (i.e. 2 TEMs) to up to 50 TEG units (i.e. 100 TEMs).
The Influence of Thermoelectric Materials and Operation Conditions on the Performance of Thermoelectric Generators for Automotive
An automotive engine can be more efficient if thermoelectric generators (TEG) are used to convert a portion of the exhaust gas enthalpy into electricity. Due to the relatively low cost of the incoming thermal energy, the efficiency of the TEG is not an overriding consideration. Instead, the maximum power output (MPO) is the first priority. The MPO of the TEG is closely related to not only the thermoelectric materials properties, but also the operating conditions. This study shows the development of a numerical TEG model integrated with a plate-fin heat exchanger, which is designed for automotive waste heat recovery (WHR) in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) path in a diesel engine. This model takes into account the following factors: the exhaust gas properties' variation along the flow direction, temperature influence on the thermoelectric materials, thermal contact effect, and heat transfer leakage effect. Its accuracy has been checked using engine test data.
The Characterisation of a Centrifugal Separator for Engine Cooling Systems
It is an engineering requirement that gases entrained in the coolant flow of an engine must be removed to retain cooling performance, while retaining a volume of gas in the header tank for thermal expansion and pressure control. The main gases present are air from filling the system, exhaust emissions from leakage across the head gasket, and also coolant vapour. These gases reduce the performance of the coolant pump and lower the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid. This is due to the reduction in the mass fraction of liquid coolant and the change in fluid turbulence. The aim of the research work contained within this paper was to analyse an existing phase separator using CFD and physical testing to assist in the design of an efficient phase separator.
Aerodynamic Drag of Passenger Cars at Yaw
The aerodynamic drag characteristics of a passenger car are typically defined by a single parameter, the drag coefficient at zero yaw angle. While this has been acceptable in the past, it may not allow a true comparison between vehicles with regard to the impact of drag on performance, especially fuel economy. An alternative measure of aerodynamic drag should take into account the effect of non-zero yaw angles and some proposals have been made in the past, including variations of wind-averaged drag coefficient. For almost all cars the drag increases with yaw, but the increase can vary significantly between vehicles. In this paper the effect of various parameters on the drag rise with yaw are considered for a range of different vehicle types. The increase of drag with yaw is shown to be an essentially induced drag, which is strongly dependent on both side force and lift. Shape factors which influence the sensitivity of drag with yaw are discussed.
Study on Optimization of Regenerative Braking Control Strategy in Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine City Bus using Pneumatic Hybrid Technology
Recovering the braking energy and reusing it can significantly improve the fuel economy of a vehicle which is subject to frequent braking events such as a city bus. As one way to achieve this goal, pneumatic hybrid technology converts kinetic energy to pneumatic energy by compressing air into tanks during braking, and then reuses the compressed air to power an air starter to realize a regenerative Stop-Start function. Unlike the pure electric or hybrid electric passenger car, the pneumatic hybrid city bus uses the rear axle to achieve regenerative braking function. In this paper we discuss research into the blending of pneumatic regenerative braking and mechanical frictional braking at the rear axle. The aim of the braking function is to recover as much energy as possible and at the same time distribute the total braking effort between the front and rear axles to achieve stable braking performance.
Surface Conditioning of Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Rotors against Organic Pads
Previous research has highlighted that the formation of a sustained friction film, desired for stable and predictable friction performance, is highly dependent upon the region of the substrate (CMC) being examined. In attempt to improve the friction performance, notably bedding-in, research at LU has been developing coatings aimed at ensuring friction film development across the substrate. This paper focuses on the performance of one of these coating formulations, and examines the performance of this on a laboratory scale dynamometer. Subsequently, the coating has then been applied to a full size brake disc, as used on a prestige vehicle, for dynamometer testing at an industry scale for comparative purposes. On both lab and full scale samples the bedding performance shows improvements over the standard material, and at the full scale the coating indicates improved stability of subsequent friction performance through a modified AK Master test schedule.
The Value of Component in the Loop Approaches to Exhaust Energy Management in Hybrid Vehicles
Recent work on thermo-electric (TE) systems has highlighted the need for refined heat transfer design as well as the long standing need for improved materials performance. Recent work on heat transfer for TE systems has shown that enhanced heat transfer is needed over and above what would normally be seen in a vehicle exhaust system. In particular a better understanding of flow development and boundary layer behaviour is needed to support new design proposals. In the meantime, recent work in TE materials suggests that with the use of skutterudites significant performance benefits can accrue over existing materials. The current generation of TE materials have non-dimensional thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) values of around 1. Skutterudites have been demonstrated to have ZT values of about 1.4 and can maintain these values over a wider temperature range than do existing materials through the engineering of the TE device.

« Georgia Tech and Samsung Digital Fingerprinting Patent Applications | Main | Verance Watermarking and U. Geneve Fingerprinting Patent Applications »
TBS and Google Digital Fingerprinting Patents
New patents are issued on Tuesdays by the USPTO. This week's Spotlight Patents concern aspects of digital fingerprinting. Assigned to Turner Broadcasting System, the first patent addresses techniques for logo identification based on automatic content recognition. Assigned to Google, the second patent addresses techniques for endpoint based video fingerprinting.
9,137,568, "Method and system for logo identification based on automatic content recognition," assigned to Turner Broadcasting System.
A method and system for logo identification based on automatic content recognition (ACR) are described in which a connected television (TV) or other end-user device may be provided with instructions to fingerprint certain regions in a video frame to identify the source of the content being displayed. Such instructions may be provided when, for example, fingerprint matching is able to identify content that is provided by multiple sources but is unable to identify the particular source of the content. In those instances, one or more additional locations may be determined for taking fingerprints in the video frame. These locations correspond to region of the video frame in which a graphical item that represents the network television station is typically displayed. A profile with these locations is generated and sent to the connected TV to take additional fingerprints to enable the identification of the network television station providing content.
9,135,674, "Endpoint based video fingerprinting," assigned to Google.
A method and system generates and compares fingerprints for videos in a video library. The video fingerprints provide a compact representation of the temporal locations of discontinuities in the video that can be used to quickly and efficiently identify video content. Discontinuities can be, for example, shot boundaries in the video frame sequence or silent points in the audio stream. Because the fingerprints are based on structural discontinuity characteristics rather than exact bit sequences, visual content of videos can be effectively compared even when there are small differences between the videos in compression factors, source resolutions, start and stop times, frame rates, and so on. Comparison of video fingerprints can be used, for example, to search for and remove copyright protected videos from a video library. Furthermore, duplicate videos can be detected and discarded in order to preserve storage space.
