Samsung Transfix Hands-on
Samsung Hands-on Android
Updated: Oct 12, 2011, 5:55 AM
John V.
There's no arguing that Samsung wants to get its name out there, so that's why we see their presence in almost every aspect in the wireless industry – including the prepaid market. With the Samsung Transfix for Cricket Wireless, you get all the lovable of aspects of any Android 2.3 Gingerbread device, but it packs that always-convenient landscape keyboard to appease those who are driven my messaging. And to top it all, it's sporting a tempting no-contract price of $179.99, which is reasonable considering there are no lengthy contracts required to pick it up.
Frankly, there's nothing that alluring with the handset in the design front, as its follows in similar fashion to other QWERTY based Samsung phones before it – like the Samsung Intrepid and Transform. Using some cheap plastics, it doesn't necessarily come off as a solid feeling handset, but it does keep its weight on the low side. Opening it up to reveal its landscape 4-row keyboard, we do like that buttons are slightly raised to give it some feel against our thumbs – and, it's nice to find that its retains a row dedicated for numbers.
Turing it on, there's nothing really pretty with its 3.2" HVGA display since it looks very washed out. Again, we can't expect the smoothest experience since it's powered by an 800MHz processor – though, the stock Android 2.3 Gingerbread experience appears to run okay without much stress. Some other features with the Samsung Transfix include a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microSD card slot, and 3G connectivity.
Indeed it's not the shiniest thing to come out of Samsung's camp, but if you're simply looking for an affordable Android smartphone with a physical keyboard, the Samsung Transfix just might be the handset you're looking for – albeit, don't expect the most satisfying experience.

Why Is California Broke?
Posted by Mish | January 22, 2010 11:52:00 | Uncategorized
Inquiring minds are asking "Why Is California Broke?" It's a good question. Please consider …
California has the 3rd highest state income tax in the nation: 9.55% tax bracket at $47,055 and 10.55% at $1,000,000 – Tax Foundation 2010 State Business Tax Climate Table 2
California has the highest state sales tax rate in the nation by far at 8.25%. Indiana is next highest at 7%. Table 15
California corporate income tax rate is 17th worst in the nation with a rate of 8.84%. – However, of the non graduated states, only Pennsylvania at 9.99%, Rhode Island at 9.0%, and the District of Columbia at 9.98% are higher. One size fits all (and a very high one at that) is exceptionally hard on small businesses. Table 8 and Table 2
California ranks 13th best in property taxes. However proposition 13 causes massive distortions for new buyers. Table 2
California has the fourth highest capital gains tax 9.55%. – Capital Gains Tax Rates By State
California has the highest gasoline tax as of January 2010, averaging 65 cents/gallon. The national average is 47.4% – API Motor Fuel Taxes
California has one of the highest state vehicle license car taxes, 1.15% per year on value of vehicle, up from 0.65% in 2008. [expired link]
So where's the money going?
1 in 5 in LA County receiving public aid, nearly 2.2 million people as of February 2009. 20% in Los Angeles County receive public aid
California has 12% of the nation's population, but 36% of the country's TANF ("Temporary" Assistance for Needy Families) welfare recipients – more than the next 8 states combined. Unlike other states, this "temporary" assistance becomes much more permanent in CA. July, 2009 California has more recipients in key welfare category than next eight states combined.
California prison guards highest paid in the nation. The maximum pay of California's prison guards is nearly 40 percent higher than that of the highest-paid guards in 10 other states and the federal government, according to a study by the California Department of Personnel Administration.

California teachers easily the highest paid in the nation. National Education Association
California now has the lowest bond ratings of any state, two steps above junk. The new rating affects about $72 billion of general obligation and lease-supported bonds. July 15 California bond rating cut again
California ranks 44th worst in "2008 lawsuit climate." Institute For Legal Reform
California, a destitute state, still gives away college education at fire sale prices. California community college tuition is by far the lowest in the nation. Nationwide, the average community college tuition is 4.5 times higher than California CC's. This ridiculously low tuition devalues education to students – resulting in a 30+% drop rate for class completion. Moreover, 2/3 of California CC students pay no tuition at all – filling out a simple unverified "hardship" form that exempts them from any tuition payment, or receiving grants and tax credits for their full tuition.

California offers thousands of absolutely free adult continuing education classes. In San Diego, over 1,400 classes for everything from baking pastries to ballroom dancing are offered totally at taxpayer expense. San Diego Continuing Education
California residential electricity costs 13.81 cents per kilowatthour. The national average is 6.99-8.49. US Department of Energy
It costs 38% more to build solar panels in California than in Tennessee – which is why European corporations have invested $2.3 billion in two Tennessee manufacturing plants to build solar panels for our state. March 5, 2009 More Solar Companies Producing Elsewhere to Sell to California
The above lists reformatted and reordered from a list compiled by Richard Rider, Chairman, San Diego Tax Fighters.
US Competitiveness
Here are a few snips from the Tax Foundation 2010 State Business Tax Climate report.
American companies often function at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy. They pay one of the highest corporate tax rates of any of the industrialized countries. The top federal rate on corporate income is 35 percent, and states with punitive tax systems cause companies to be even less competitive globally.
State lawmakers are always mindful of their states' business tax climates, but they are often tempted to lure business with lucrative tax incentives and subsidies instead of broadbased tax reform. This can be a dangerous proposition as a case in Florida illustrates. In July of 2004 Florida lawmakers cried foul because a major credit card company announced it would close its Tampa call center, lay off 1,110 workers, and outsource those jobs to another company. The reason for the lawmakers' ire was that the company had been lured to Florida with a generous tax incentive package and had enjoyed nearly $3 million worth of tax breaks during the previous nine years.
Lawmakers create these deals under the banner of job creation and economic development, but the truth is that if a state really can't attract employers without such packages, it is often because punitive tax laws have created a woeful business tax climate.
Every tax law will in some way change a state's competitive position relative to its immediate neighbors, its geographic region, and even globally. Ultimately it will affect the state's national standing as a place to live and to do business. Entrepreneurial states can take advantage of the tax increases of their neighbors to lure businesses out of high-tax states.
Most states have at least one major tax area that is hospitable to business and economic growth, and most have at least one punitive tax that makes the state's tax climate look comparatively bad. For example, California ranks poorly overall, 48th best, despite having the 13th best score on property taxes. On the other end of the spectrum, Delaware ranks 8th best despite a dreadful corporate income tax that ranks as the second worst in the nation.
California Improves (Sort Of)
With such a low ranking, it may not assuage California taxpayers to hear that the state's tax system has improved one spot this year and now ranks 48th best. Unfortunately, even this slightly good news does not come because of improved tax policy. New York implemented even worse policies, dropping below California.
In fact, California's raw score dropped substantially because it added 0.25 percent to each personal income tax rate and increased its statewide sales tax to 8.25 percent, now the nation's highest state-level rate.
State Business Rankings
As amazing as it might seem, California is not dead last. New York and New Jersey are ranked worse in business climate than California. The dubious honor of worst state belongs to New Jersey. Congratulations!
California Pension Crisis
To top things off, please consider Plundering California: How Public-Sector Unions Brought The State To Its Knees.
Government workers also enjoy absurd protections. The Los Angeles Times did a recent series about the city's public school district, which doesn't even try to fire incompetent teachers and is seldom able to get rid of those credibly accused of misconduct or abuse.
A state law referred to as the Peace Officers Bill of Rights, along with excessive privacy restrictions, likewise makes it nearly impossible to fire police officers who abuse their authority.
The media have finally started to take notice, largely because of some impossible-to-ignore financial excesses, particularly the tens of billions of dollars in "unfunded liabilities"—that is, future debt—run up by politicians more interested in pleasing union officials than in looking after the public's finances. News reports have also focused on scandals at CalPERS, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, which has faced record losses after making risky leveraged investments in bizarre real-estate deals. (The government pension system encourages such risky behavior: with defined-benefit systems, union members stand to gain if the investments go well, while taxpayers shoulder the burden if they don't.) Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reported on a politically connected insider who received $53 million in finder's fees from CalPERS, raising questions of pay-to-play deals.
But the real scandal is a two-tier society where government workers enjoy benefits far in excess of those for whom they supposedly work.
The above snip is from the book Plunder! by Steven Greenhut.
The answer to the question Why Is California Broke? should now be quite apparent.
California has a horrible business climate that drives business elsewhere.
California has an array of some of the highest tax rates in the nation.
California is beholden to the unions, especially the teachers union and prison system, and at the municipal level to the police and fire unions.
California hands out money with free services encouraging an influx of illegal aliens and an exodus of those wealthy enough and mobile enough to move.
As Steven Greenhut puts it "The real scandal is a two-tier society where government workers enjoy benefits far in excess of those for whom they supposedly work."
That by the way, is not only why California is broke, it is a huge part of the reason the nation is broke.

The best state to retire in may not be Florida or Arizona, the most popular choices for most people when they think of retirement...read on.
Personally, I was not born in Arizona but got here as fast as I could.
But I totally understand that are so many other factors to consider besides wearing shorts in December.
Family concerns are very important to many people...they need that Grandchild fix...and that certainly is important.
We do not have children...except for me of course, and I am not growing up...my wife always says that I am enough to cure her of wanting kids.
Criteria for choosing the best state to retire in.
Let's take a look at some of the various criteria that may be of important to you.
So whether your 401(k) is huge...or your retirement annuity is small...my purpose for this site is to show you how to think of ways for cheap living and that can expand the your list of the best states to retire in.
Financial planners will tell you that you must have so much money for you to be able to retire...that is just not true. If you have not exhausted all retirement options you will never know whether or not you can retire.
Here are some lifestyles that we have personally experienced, living aboard a sailboat , living in an RV , living overseas , park model living , and downsizing if you consider these options for frugal retirement living I guarantee you will have more options on where to retire ,than you thought you had.
We will limit our comments to states where we have lived at least one month or more. 8 of the 10 below we have lived in more than a year...that may or may not qualify us as experts, but this will also not be advice you could get out a tour book.
These are listed in no particular order, we enjoyed them all, and know you will too.
If it's none of the above try Mexico.
Over the next few weeks we will be examining each state (or territory) in more detail. We will cover the tax situation for each state. Give you key contact information you will need to help with your quest to find the best state to retire in.
Discuss the pros and cons of each location. We may add other states later but we want to first concentrate on the states we are most familiar with.
Be careful here...do not get tax bound.
Climate...what are you looking for?
Warm winters are found in Florida (the further south, like the Keys the better), Arizona, southern California, the USVI and southern Texas. You want warmth any of these would be the best state to retire in, the Virgin Islands being the warmest. I saw one heavy coat in St Croix...the guy stocking the freezer room at the grocery warehouse.
Arizona and California are dryer with less humidity, but for the warmest winter temperatures south Florida is going to be hard to beat.
We have lived in Florida (Jacksonville) for 2 years, Houston for 20 years and Phoenix for 8 years. Here is our take on the 3, climate wise. All are warm, hence they are very popular choices for frugal retirement living. All three are good choices for the best state to retire in.
Florida and Texas have very high humidity and lots of insects, you won't spend a lot of time eating outside in either place unless you have screened area or "Florida room". In Phoenix you can eat outside with no bugs, low humidity at least half the year. If outdoor dining is your thing Arizona may be the best state to retire in. Here's how to enjoy Arizona cheaply.
The sun shines over 330 days a year in Phoenix, with very little rain.
You never have to worry about hurricanes in Phoenix, a problem during the summer in Houston or Florida. My second cousin lives in Orlando and boards up the outside of his house for storms, he has plywood cut for each window with screw holes pre drilled. It takes him about 30 minutes to put up and take down, he has had a lot of practice putting them up and down in the last few years...not the end of the world but something to consider.
One thing you may not know about Arizona, is that it is not all desert. Phoenix and Tucson are pretty flat but surrounded by mountains. Flagstaff, 2 hours from Phoenix has skiing in the winter.
It snowed yesterday, April 17 in Flag and was 80 in Phoenix...that is not unusual. Flagstaff's elevation is 6900 feet, Where we sit in the Phoenix area is 1200 feet. Prescott an hour plus drive is 5300 feet.
Point being Arizona is not all flat desert it is very mountainous. Don't judge the whole state by Interstate 10 which is pretty flat...and pretty boring IMHO.
Let's give a slight edge to Florida...OK a big edge. My favorite Florida beaches are in the Panhandle, Destin, Fort Walton Beach. If you want beaches in Arizona you can drive 6 hours to San Diego. Mexico has beaches in Rocky Point Or Puerto Penasco about 4.5 hours from the Phoenix area. Texas has some nice beaches in South Padre Island.
But Florida gets a big thumbs up on beaches and the water, it's everywhere. If beaches and water are your thing Florida is the best state to retire in. Being former sailboat dwellers we would've given Florida a much harder look if we still had our boat.
We hope our experiences in each state will be of interest to you...the best state to retire in will not be the same for everyone...we have done the mundane things, laundry, bank, post office in each of these states.
Do not base your decision on where to go unless you have done these things...there can be a big difference in how a place feels on vacation and how it feels actually living there.
Go slow and enjoy the process.

Home › Kids › Let the Wild Rumpus Start!
"I need a snake," my two-year old daughter informed me. "I guess I better watch Aladdin." I love how her brain works.
"No, Lainey. Wesley's doing a reading at his school mass today. We're going to watch him. Let's get dressed." It would be a miracle if I made it out the door — along with my two toddlers, their coats, sippy cups, binkies, snacks, books, extra clothes, blankets, diapers, wipes, toys, and anything else required to leave home with small children — in time to watch my eight year-old read at 8:15 mass.
"Lainey's going to church!" she yelled and ran to her closet. "Lainey's gonna wear a pretty dress!" She grabbed a bright blue sleeveless summer dress. It's mid-November and 20 degrees outside today. I went about putting warm tights under the dress, a sweater over the top of it, and warm boots on her feet. Lainey and her summer dress were going to church — hopefully, on time. I still had to get her little brother ready, pack the diaper bag, wash the skin mud mask off my face, find an outfit for myself, and make the three minute drive to my older kids' school. It was 7:45 already and really tempting to lock my toddlers in a box, drive the three minutes to the school, watch Wesley read, and then drive three minutes back home. I'm sure they could survive 10 or 15 minutes locked in a box without me. Just kidding. I wouldn't do something like that. I only fantasize about it.
Tristan wore his pajamas to church, I forgot the sippy cups, and I left the house without brushing my long long hair. Lainey removed her hat, coat, boots and sweater during the drive, but we made it just in time and before she removed her underwear.
The mid-week mass is particularly difficult because I'm so outnumbered. At least when my husband goes with me on the weekend, we're each responsible for one toddler. When I attempt to go by myself I hear a voice inside my head scream, "Let the wild rumpus start!" I've written before about how much fun it is to take these two to church. (Ergo, the locking them in a box and going by myself fantasies). Today was no different.
Lainey really gets into singing at church, but she missed the memo about what to sing, so she stood in the pew belting out Frozen songs and the ABC's. That wasn't too bad, but then she started throwing the hymn books around, and by the time I finished taking those away from her, Tristan was gone. I mean gone. Disappeared. He'd been totally locked in between me, Lainey, and another mom. How did he escape?! I got down on my hands and knees to peer under the pew. There he was, making a stealth beeline for the front of the church. I cannot believe how quickly children crawl! If I attempted to crawl under the pews to the front of the church, I wouldn't make it two feet. So that was not an option to retrieve my child. I stood up, exited my pew, and entered a pew a couple rows up to cut him off. It was like that game at the fair where you pull a duck out of the water and get a prize; substitute church pews for water and babies for ducks. My prize for pulling a baby from under a pew was a fantastical shriek. Tristan had been auditioning for Spy Kids 5 and I ruined it. I wanted to tell Tristan that I had probably saved him from being kicked out — because if Jesus kicks people out of the temple for selling things, he probably also kicks them out for movie auditions in there. But try explaining that to a one year-old.
That was about the time I took both of my kids into the bathroom to hide. We had to come back out to give Devin and Wesley hugs, and tell Wesley he did a good job reading, as the students were filing out of the church – but I'm happy that we didn't run into the priest, thereby avoiding my daughter harassing him further about the dead bug in his church.
At the time my seven year old daughter,Chrissy,made her First Communion,her sister Chloe was almost three,and still in the cloth diapers and rubberpants i used on both of them when they were babies.The morning of Chrissies ceremony,I gave her a bath while Chloe watched,then took both girls into chrissies room and put some of chloe's cloth diapers and a pair of rubberpants on chrissy[REQUIRED UNDER THE COMMUNION DRESSES]along with her under shirt,then her poofy communion dress,veil,lace anklets and the white shoes.After she was dressed,i did chloe in a cute pink dress with the lace anklets and shoes also.I packed Chloe's diaper bag with extra cloth diapers and rubberpants,figuring chrissy might have an accident during the ceremony.Sure enough,after the ceremony,chrissy was wet,so i took both girls to the ladies lounge and changed chrissies diapers and put fresh rubberpants on over them.Ironically,chloe didnt need her diapers changed untill after we got home!


We've seen enough recent leaks of the Pixel 2 series to know that the successor models do not look very different to their predecessors. There's been a slight re-jig of how much of the phone has the glossy glass panel on the back; it has shrunk slightly, but apart from that it's more or less business as usual.
There will be no amazing bronze-coloured metal or any of that jazz we've seen in optimistic concept renders.
We are managed to source some renders which it says are based on CAD schematics and leaked live photos, indicating that these renders were made by a third party based on the most accurate information available from the leak-o-sphere. The artist appears to have rendered the device in the typical colours we've seen the existing Pixel and Nexus ranges wearing before; silver, black, and blue, but they've also added in two possible red variants, one with a white front and one with a black front. We have seen Nexus phones in red before, but not the Pixel series so far.
The black model is definitely going to happen, as leaked photos have showed a black coloured version. Silver seems very likely, or perhaps white, and Google did launch the Pixel in blue last year so that seems a fair guess too.
"Although we don't know every single minute detail about the Pixel 2, such as where exactly the antenna lines will thread for example, or whether the power button will have the knurled finish of last year's model, these Pixel 2 renders should provide a nice preliminary look at the upcoming device," says the report.
The renders adopt some design features which have repeatedly leaked recently; these include the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the appearance of some fairly large bezels at the top and bottom of the phone. In the first render we can also see the Type-C USB port in the base, and the sides of the phone too.
Abundantly Red is of course a guess, a riff based on Google's established colour naming convention; Quite Black, Very Silver, and Really Blue are all repeats of the first-gen Pixel colour names. The source admits that a red and black model seems unlikely and there's no concrete evidence for a red model at all at this stage.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 are expected to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processors onboard with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (higher storage tiers are rumoured, but not confirmed). It'll have IP68 waterproofing certification, a Full HD display panel and a high-end single-sensor camera.


This NBC News tinnitus news report has the channel speaking to Metallica Drummer Lars Ulrich and others about the long term effects of hearing loss. Ulrich suffers from Tinnitus, a hearing loss symptom that is often described as ringing in the ear. While tinnitus can be a persistent annoyance, it can also be a debilitating symptom that can harm your quality of life. If you suffer from tinnitus, you aren't alone. 40-50 million people in the US are stricken with tinnitus and as few as 10 million have actually sought help.
If you think you are experiencing the symptoms and effects of tinnitus, contact a professional at Optimal Hearing to schedule a free baseline hearing screening.

If you've ever been to the paint section at your local hardware store. You know choosing the right color is only half the battle. Once you've found the perfect color for every room you'll find that there are a variety of finishes. Eventually you'll be asking yourself the question, what paint sheen to use? This is just as important as the color you've chosen. You'll have to answer this question for every room in the house. The trim, doors, ceilings, walls and any wood in the house all need to have a finish. And they generally aren't all the same. In this article we'll discuss what works best in every situation.
Gambrick is a custom home builder at the Jersey Shore with over 40 years experience building high end luxury custom homes. We ask ourselves and our clients this same question for every home we do. Based on our decades of experience we'll be going over the best options for each room in the house.
The paint sheen, or finish, affects how the color appears. That depends on whether it absorbs light or reflects it. For paint to hold up well over time it has to be durable enough for the surface and the situation. In other words sheen is how shiny the paint is. Ranging from a high gloss which is very shiny to a flat which has no shine at all. In between are eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss, each with its own practical and decorative job to do.
As a basic rule of thumb to follow when choosing your paint sheen. The higher the sheen, the higher the shine. The higher the shine, the more durable it is.
Get the walls as smooth as possible. Scrape away cracked or peeling paint with a metal putty knife. And use it to remove bumps, dried-on paint, and the raised edges around nail holes. One of the biggest mistakes amateur painters make is not spending enough time prepping the walls or trim. Take your time filling and sanding any imperfections before you paint or you'll regret it later.
Buy quality paints. It really does make a huge difference in the final product.
If your painting yourself buy quality brushes and rollers. Cheap rollers leave weird looking marks on the walls and low quality brushes leave streaks and hairs which can be a nightmare to take out as you paint. If you want the best outcome then use the best tools and paint.
For every room your painting ask yourself what color and what paint sheen to use? Refer to this guide for the sheen and this one for the color.
What Paint Sheen To Use?
Ever look up at your ceiling and realize it may be time for a change? For places like your ceiling and other low traffic areas, flat is your perfect sheen. Flat paint absorbs light and hides small imperfections. This provides a simple yet smooth appearance. A busy or glossy ceiling draws unwanted attention away from the furniture and other highlights of the room.
While a flat finish is great at smoothing and muting it is most suitable for low traffic areas of your home. A flat sheen doesn't clean as easily as some of the others and should be used sparingly on places out of reach. Generally a flat finish is only used on the ceiling and is has become the standard for just about every home we build.
Flat paint has the most pigment and provides the most coverage per gallon. Translating to time and money saved.
What paint sheen to use? Sometimes we want a room to have a bit of extra texture. That's where eggshell really shines. Eggshell finishes can add texture to a room by adding a low luster sheen similar to the surface of an egg, hence the name. Offering a superior finish to a flat sheen for highly trafficked areas. An eggshell finish softly reflects light throughout the room while resisting small scuffs or stains. An eggshell finish also proves to be more practical for most areas of the home while also providing a durable, long-lasting color.
Between satin and flat on the sheen and durability scale. Essentially a flat no-shine finish with only a small amount of luster. Eggshell covers wall imperfections well and is a great finish for gathering spaces that won't get a lot of wear and tear.
Though similar to an eggshell finish in terms of luster, satin finishes exude an almost pearlescent touch that can give a room a lovely soft glow. This finish is more durable than both eggshell and flat. Resisting dirt and stains while also withstanding cleaning and gentle scrubbing. A Satin finish is a perfect fit for high-traffic areas.
Revealing application flaws is a satin sheen's biggest drawback. Roller or brush strokes not done properly will stand out so make sure to hire a good painter or take your time if doing it yourself and use a good quality brush or roller. Touch ups later can be tricky unless you redo large areas which can get expensive.
You want your accent pieces to stand out becoming the focal point of any room, drawing the eye where we want them to go. Semi gloss should be used sparingly on things like trim, doors, wainscoting or on a beautiful coffered ceiling.
Semi gloss paints are a great way to make accent walls or focal points sparkle by providing a higher sheen which immediately draws the eye. A semi gloss finish works best in areas that receive a lot of light which amplifies their shine. As a drawback semi gloss also tends to amplify imperfections, revealing heavy brush strokes, drips or nail heads.
Semi-gloss paints tend to be highly durable and resistant to mold and mildew. Best suited for high traffic areas that are frequently cleaned.
Glossy paint offers the highest sheen finish creating a greater depth of color bringing out rich tones and deep hues. Gloss finish amplifies the color of any paint or texture. Making colors and textures pop like no other paint finish can. This brilliant finish attracts a lot of attention so should be used with caution. It's not a good idea to paint an entire room with high gloss paint. Use this finish very sparingly for small accent pieces only.
A high gloss finish is great for some wood furniture or small decor pieces. Be sure to use high gloss paint in low traffic areas as this level of shine amplifies blemishes more than any other finish. The easiest to clean of all paint finishes.
As a general rule we steer our clients away from high gloss paints but if you want to use them do it sparingly.
Use your newfound knowledge from this guide to make your home magazine ready and answer that inevitable question when painting, what paint sheen to use? Remember to spend lots of time prepping before you paint if you want a beautiful finish. Take your time selecting not only the perfect color but also the right sheen and you'll have a home to enjoy for years to come.

Definitions, Technical Terms and Glossary
2 wire output
Type of electrical connection for a measuring element or transmitter that provides power supply and output 4-20mA signals to the data logger or control system at the same time with a pair of wires.
Type of electrical connection for a measuring element or transmitter that provides power supply and output of DC voltage (e.g. 0-10V, 0-5V, etc. ) signals to the data logger or control system at the same time with a pair of wires.
4-20mA Current Loop Output
Common type of electrical signal used by the process control industry to provide a robust measurement signal that can be passed through several devices as part of series circuit without significant loss of signal.
Absolute pressure (Abs, a)
Absolute pressure is defined as the sum of a system's gauge, or measured, pressure and the pressure of the atmosphere that is referred to the vacuum of free space (zero pressure). In practice, absolute Piezo-resistive pressure sensors measure the pressure relative to a high vacuum reference sealed behind its sensing diaphragm. The vacuum has to be negligible compared to the pressure to be measured.
Stated as a limit tolerance which defines the average deviation between the actual outputs versus theoretical output. In practical transducer applications, the potential errors of nonlinearity, hysteresis, non-repeatability and temperature effects do not normally occur simultaneously, nor are they necessarily additive. Therefore, accuracy is calculated based upon the RMS value of potential errors, assuming a temperature band of ± 10° C, full rated load applied, and proper set up and calibration. Potential errors of the readout, crosstalk, or creep effects are not included.
Ambient Pressure
The ambient pressure on an object is the pressure of the surrounding medium, such as a gas or liquid, which comes into contact with the object. The atmospheric pressure or pressure in the environment or surrounding area. It is given a reference value of zero (0) cm H2O.
Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted into a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet).
Axial Load
A load applied along a line concentric with the Primary Axis.
Bandwidth (signal processing)
A measure of the width of a range of frequencies, measured in hertz.
bar (unit)
The bar is a unit of pressure defined as 1,000,000 dynes per square centimetre (or equivalently in SI units, 100kilopascal or in CGS units, 1 mega-barye). It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.
Differential pressure unit.
barg
A unit of gauge pressure.
Total outside air pressure measured with reference to a perfect vacuum. The pressure varies depending on geographical location, altitude and local weather conditions. For weather reporting purposes the barometric pressure is normally adjusted to a sea level value so that all locations can be compared independent of the altitude at each location
Bonded Seal
A metal washer with a vulcanised rubber bonded to its inside diameter, which is used for high pressure applications to provide a pressure seal when placed between two flat surfaces that are screwed together using a male and female parallel thread.
Bourdon Tube
A flattened length of thin hollow metal tubing which is formed into an arc of a circle of 270 to 300°.
Burst Pressure
A design safety limit which should not be exceeded to prevent damage of sensing element, mechanical breach or permanent loss of pressure containment.
A comparison of measurements. The device with the known or assigned correctness is called the standard.
Calibration Curve
A general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration. A record of the comparison of the transducer outputs versus standard test loads.

Markings around the outside of an analogue pressure gauge dial which define the increments of pressure
Centimetres of H2O (cmH2O),
Manometric unit used to relate a pressure reading to the height of fresh water at a temperature of 4°C. 1 Centimetre of Water Gauge equals 98.0665 Pascals. It known as Centimetres of Water Gauge (cmWG) or Centimetres of Water Column (cmWC) as well
Centimetres of Mercury (cmHg)
Small pressure unit which represents the pressure pushing down due to gravity of any volume of liquid mercury which is 1cm high. 1 centimetre of mercury at zero degrees Celsius equals 1333.22Pascals.
Ceramic Pressure Transducer
Use sensing diaphragms made from Alumina (Al2O3) with either a screen printed thick film strain gauge circuit or a variable capacitance cell. Ceramic diaphragms are very inert and provide a high level of protection from aggressive chemicals.
Compensated Temperature (engineering)
The range of temperature over which the transducer is compensated to maintain Rated Output and Zero Balance within specified limits. Temperature compensation is the utilization of supplementary devices, materials, or components within the bridge to minimize sources of error caused by changing temperature.
Compensated Temperature Range
Limits that temperature errors have been tested over and are not necessarily related to the operating temperature range. A pressure measurement device may continue to function outside the compensated temperature range but the accuracy of any measurement is not defined.
Compound Pressure Ranges
Combination of positive and negative pressure ranges into one pressure measurement device.
Dead band
Region of pressure where a change in pressure produces no change in measurement output or control signal.
Deflection (engineering)
The displacement or degree of a structural element under load.
Differential pressure (DP, Delta P)
Differential pressure is the difference between any two process pressures. Differential pressure sensors have two separate pressure ports and can be calibrated to measure both positive and negative differential pressures (bidirectional pressure measurement).
Commonly difference in pressure of separate points in a system shown by ΔP.
Digital Compensation
Process of minimizing the error over the desired frequency range to correct the digital output of a pressure transmitter so that the pressure accuracy and thermal errors can be improved.
MeasureX' pressure sensors with digital signal conditioning electronically correct the sensor signal and compensate for all error sources such as offset, span, temperature effects, non-linearity and hysteresis all at the same time.
The analogue mV pressure signal and the corresponding temperature information from the measuring bridge are amplified and digitally converted. A microcontroller calculates the corrected pressure value using a special mathematical algorithm and sensor specific compensation coefficients which have been stored in the microcontroller memory. These exact coefficients have been determined by the temperature and pressure cycling of each device during production. The final sensor signal is available via a digital bus interface (e.g. I²C, SPI) and as an analogue voltage output signal.
A continuous change in Output under constant Load conditions.
Dyne per Square Centimetre (dyn/cm²)

Fluorinated carbon based rubber material which is mostly used on pressure measurement equipment to seal joints between components which are either pressurised or water.
Type of diaphragm which is completely exposed to the pressure media and level with the surrounding surfaces when installed.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a systematic methodology for analysing and documenting all of the possible failure causes of a part, assembly, subsystem or system. Each individual component is evaluated to determine the ways in which it might fail along with the probability of failure and the consequences if that failure occurs. Design engineers then use this information to take steps to mitigate the effect of critical failures. MeasureX uses FMEA processes to help identify single-point failures to ensure that we are providing the most robust sensors possible.
Food Grade Compatible
See hygienic.
The quantitative measure of the output spectrum of a system or device in response to a stimulus, and is used to characterize the dynamics of the system. is characterized by the magnitude of the system's response, typically measured in decibels (dB) or as a decimal, and the phase, measured in radians or degrees, versus frequency in radians/sec or Hertz (Hz).
Full Range Output (FRO)
See full scale output.
Full Scale /
Full Span

It is the algebraic difference between the upper and lower limit of the electrical output signals when minimum and maximum inputs applied on the measuring sensors.
Gage pressure
Gage pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013.25 mbar. Changes of the atmospheric pressure due to weather conditions or altitude directly influence the output of a gage pressure sensor and are therefore compensated.

All parts in contact with the process media must have a high level of cleanliness and include precautions against contamination.
The maximum difference between the transducer output readings for the same applied load (pressure or etc.); one reading obtained by increasing the load from zero and the other by decreasing the load from Rated Output. Usually measured at half Rated Output and expressed in percent of Rated Output. Measurements should be taken as rapidly as possible to minimize Creep. This is caused by the natural reluctance of a sensing material such as a diaphragm to return to its original position, shape or form after being flexed.
Electrical Hysteresis occurs in ferromagnetic materials and ferroelectric materials, as well as in the deformation of some materials (such as rubber bands and shape-memory alloys) in response to a varying force.

Difference in pressure between any vacuum pressure and atmospheric pressure. The maximum possible negative gauge pressure is always limited by the current ambient atmospheric pressure, which constantly varies, but is typically around 1 bar absolute.
Newton per Square Meter (N/m2)
Pressure unit based on SI units for force and length which shows how the Pascal unit is derived. Pressure is defined as Force/Area and the SI unit for Force is Newtons (N) and the SI unit for Area is Sq Meters (m2). 1 Newton per Square Metre equals 1 Pascal.
Non- Linearity, Hysteresis and Repeatability (NLHR)
An accuracy or precision specification refers to the maximum deviation of the sensor output from a straight line over the specified operating pressure range excluding zero-offset. The straight line can be determined using different methods such as Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) or Terminal Base Line (TBL). The Best Fit Straight Line is fitted such that the positive and negative distances to the actual sensor output are minimised (least squares method). The Terminal Base Line runs through the start and end point of the sensor output. Non-linearity according to TBL can be much larger as if using BFSL.
Non-repeatability
The maximum deviation between repeated output readings when the same measuring value is approached from the same direction (either increasing or decreasing pressure) under the same operating conditions.
Normally Closed (NC)
Electrical circuit switch contact which opens when the switch is activated. E.g. A pressure switch set at 10bar will open once the pressure exceeds 10bar.
Normally Open (NO)

Low pressure unit which is part of the British and American system of units. 1 Ounce per Square Inch equals 430.922 Pascals.
Overload Protection
Protects the load cell from accidental overloading above the rated capacity. MEASUREX has integrated this unique feature in most of its low capacity product.
Pascal (Pa)
SI unit for pressure which is derived from other SI units using the following relationships: Pa = (kg.m/s²)/m² = kg/m.s² = N/m². Since 1 pascal is a very low pressure being 1/100 of a millibar it's use is limited to ultra-low pressure applications such as measuring the pressure differences in ventilation systems.
Piezoresistive pressure sensors
Silicon-based Piezo-resistive pressure sensors are made from a thin diaphragm in which resistors are embedded to form a Wheatstone bridge. When pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the electrical resistivity changes due to the mechanical stress (Piezo-resistive effect). If the bridge circuit is supplied with a voltage, a sensor output signal proportional to pressure is generated.
Piezoresistive Strain Gauges
Semiconductor material which generates a change in resistance when stressed.
Polyurethane (PUR, PU)
Durable polymer which is used as a coating for sensor cabling and as a sealing compound to keep out water and as a potting compound to protect electronics components from damage.

Position sensitivity
Piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors with extremely low pressure ranges of only a few millibars feature a very thin diaphragm which may also show sensitivity to forces which are not caused by the applied pressure but by the sensor moving and changing position.
Pounds per Square Foot (psf) or Pound Force per Square Foot (pfsf)
British Imperial and American pressure unit which is directly related to the psi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). 1 Pound per Square Foot equals 47.8803 Pascals.
Pounds per Square Inch (psi or lb/in²) or Pound Force per Square Inch (pfsi or lbf/in²)
Widely used British and American unit of measure for pressure. 1 psi converts to 6,894.76 Pascals.

Primary Axis
The axis along which the transducer is designed to be loaded; normally its geometric centre line.
Proof pressure (Overpressure)
Proof pressure is the maximum pressure which may be applied without causing durable shifts of the electrical parameters of the sensing element. Exposure to pressures above the proof pressure may lead to the sensor permanently not complying with its specification.
The span of differential pressures or flow rates within which the sensing element of a given switch can be set to actuate an electric switch.
Rated Load (Rated Capacity)

Rated Pressure
The maximum pressure that the actuating components of the switch in contact with the media can withstand continuously and/or repeatedly without risk of permanent damage.
Ratiometric output signal
For ratiometric pressure sensors the output signal behaves proportional to the supply voltage. If for example the supply voltage for a sensor with 0.5...4.5 V output at 5 V supply increases by 10 % to 5.5V, the output signal also increases by 10 % to 0.55...4.95 V. In contrast, sensors with an internal reference voltage have a non-ratiometric output signal.
Reference Pressure
Pressure present on the reverse or negative side of a pressure sensing element. For example the pressure reading will be zero when the total pressure measured on the positive side of the diaphragm equals the reference pressure. Also see gauge reference and absolute reference.
Referred Temperature Error Band (RTE)

Amount of change of a measured reading at exactly the same pressure and ambient conditions over a series of pressure cycles from zero to full scale pressure and back to zero again. To ensure no pressure hysteresis is introduced into repeatability measurement, readings are always taken during an increase in pressure or a decrease in pressure but never a mixture of the two.
The smallest change in mechanical input which produces a detectable change in the output signal.
Safe Overload
The maximum load in percent of Rated Capacity which can be applied without producing a permanent shift in performance characteristics beyond those specified.
sampling rate
The number of times per second an analogue to digital converter takes a readings and converts per second.
Sealed Gauge Reference Pressure (SG)
Pressure measured relative to a fixed approximation of atmospheric pressure by sealing atmospheric air pressure on the reference side of a pressure sensing device during manufacture. A preferred method of creating a sealed gauge reference is to seal a high vacuum on the reference side and subtract a 1 bar pressure offset from the measurement output.
Set or Actuation Point
The exact air pressure or flow rate which will cause the electric switch to actuate.
Shunt Calibration
Electrical stimulation of transducer output by insertion of known shunt resistors between appropriate points within the circuitry.
Silicon offers special benefits when it comes to manufacturing Piezo-resistive pressure sensor chips. Due to its single crystal structure, it shows no plastic deformation but returns to its original state without deformation after pressure loading. Material fatigue and hysteresis effects are therefore virtually eliminated. The semiconductor resistors implanted in the silicon sensor diaphragm are highly sensitive to even the smallest pressures and allow for full scale ranges of only a few millibars.
Silicon Pressure Sensors
Bring together the benefits of the high gauge factors of semiconductor strain gauge technology with the high elasticity of a Silicon sensing diaphragm. Silicon pressure transducers have high mv/V output signal sensitivity, high overpressure and very low non
Span Offset

Span Output
Difference between the minimum and maximum output signals of a pressure sensor.
Span Sensitivity
Defines the output signal characteristic of a pressure sensor and is expressed as a ratio of maximum span output signal divided by the pressure range, e.g. 10mV/bar. For ratiometric outputs that are proportional to supply voltage, the span sensitivity would be expressed as 10mV/V/bar.

Temperature Compensation
Correction applied to a pressure measurement instrument to reduce errors attributed to temperature changes in the media being measured or the surrounding environment.
Temperature effects
The temperature effect specifies the maximum deviation of the output signal due to temperature changes over the sensor's operating temperature range relative to a reference temperature (e.g. 25°C). A distinction is made between the temperature effect of offset and the temperature effect of span. The temperature effect is often specified as a temperature coefficient expressed as % per °C. Temperature effects may be caused by changes in the temperature of the medium as well as changes in the ambient temperature.
Temperature Error
Deviation of a pressure measurement reading with a change in media temperature.
Temperature Error Band (TEB)
Uncertainty error derived from the two measurement points that exhibit the greatest deviation in the positive and negative direction from measurements taken at the same pressure at room temperature, and then adding each together and expressing it as a percentage of full scale e.g. 2%FS. This is often expressed as a ±figure by dividing the total error band by two e.g. ±1%FS.
Temperature Shift Span
The change in Output due to a change in transducer temperature. Expressed as a percentage of load per degree Fahrenheit (Celsius) change temperature.

Thermal Zero Shift (TZS)
Maximum amount the output or reading at zero pressure might deviate over the compensated temperature range. This error is typically expressed as a percentage of full scale output or reading. It can also be expressed as percentage of full scale per °C, °F or k e.g. ±0.02%fs/°C.

Total accuracy
Total error band
The sensor's maximum total error over the compensated temperature range. With MeasureX' pressure sensors, total accuracy includes all errors from offset and span calibration, temperature effects, non-linearity and hysteresis. Total accuracy is also referred to as Total Error Band (TEB).

Posted by Neil-Monticelli Harley-Rüdd on July 13, 2019 Jamaica Wannabe On Brink Of English Premier League Contract2019-07-13T07:05:17+00:00 under News/Sports
Author: Neil-Monticelli Harley-Rüddj
Morrison's future partly in hands of ex-manager Redknapp
Ravel Morrison, yet to make his international debut for Jamaica, could be on the verge of an English Premier League (PL) contract.
The 26-year-old midfielder has recently been on trial with Sheffield United, but his future with the PL newcomers lies in the balance – and one of his former managers will play a role.
United manager Chris Wilder is aware that he could be taking a gamble by signing Morrison, who has been deemed a misfit at each club he's represented, because he is considered a loose cannon both on and off the pitch.
Wise Wilder, who admitted that he has been impressed by the former Manchester United academy star, has made contact with retired manager Harry Redknapp for advice on whether to sign Morrison.
The midfielder was on loan at QPR when Redknapp was at the helm, but now he is seeking his ninth club at such a tender age has obviously made numerous managers wary.
Morrison, who returned from United's pre-season training camp in Portugal because of a sore heel, will not be tackling Spanish side Real Betis tonight (Friday) although he is expected to feature in their next friendly when they face Northampton Town next Saturday.
Having kicked off his career at Manchester United he failed to make an impact with just three appearances in two seasons, and has since become a journeyman.
His last club – Swedish side Östersunds FK – shelved him after four-and-a-half months, and to rub salt into his wounds this occurred whilst Jamaica's Reggae Boyz were involved in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Battler Morrison, linked with an England senior call-up during the 2013-14 season whilst with West Ham United, was overlooked by Jamaica for their Gold Cup campaign.
Yet his short-term goal is to sign for a top flight club as soon as possible, and he will soon learn his fate with United as they prepare in earnest to kick-off their Premier League season at Bournemouth on 10 August.
Should Morrison made the grade with United then surely Jamaica, who had discontent within their squad during the Gold Cup, will come calling. The Boyz face Antigua & Barbuda on the Nations League on 7 September.
