Coronavirus Update: 41,090 Cases, 1,003 Dead; Peak Possible April 19-May 11
By Matt Skoufalos on	 April 6, 2020 Government
Without adhering to social distancing guidelines, as many as 3 million in New Jersey could be infected, according to Governor Phil Murphy. Nearly 6,400 residents are now hospitalized, with 1,505 in intensive care units.

Another 3,363 New Jersey residents have tested positive for novel coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing the total number of cases to 41,090, Governor Phil Murphy announced Monday.
The state also sustained another 86 COVID-19-related deaths, bringing the total to 1,003 lives lost during the pandemic.
Locally, eight more Camden County residents perished from complications related to the virus, and 121 others were newly logged among the infected.
The governor entered his daily video briefing wearing an "Exit 109" cloth facemask, modeling the CDC guidance for asymptomatic individuals to keep their germs within their own breathing radius.
He then seemingly undid the benefit of this example by trying to display the mask in front of the podium before giving up and taking it back.
Murphy was more solid on early projections that social distancing measures appear to be delaying the crush of COVID-19 on the state's healthcare infrastructure.

With new cases doubling every six days, peak caseload could be reached anywhere between April 19 and May 11, with as many as 86,000 to 509,000 New Jersey residents infected. The projected count of hospitalizations could peak anywhere from April 10 to April 28, with anywhere from 9,000 to 36,000 cases.
Without the statewide stay-at-home order, the health system may have had to battle as many as 3 million infections, or one-third of the population of the state, the governor said.
Even anticipating "anomalous days with spikes and troughs," the governor said those data show that "the overall curve is beginning to flatten.
"Our goal is to keep flattening it," he said.
"The range remains wide, and it remains uncomfortably high at the high end," Murphy said. "It will be tough, and it will be stressful, but our health system can get through this intact."

Relaxing social distancing behavior, however, could "overrun" the healthcare system "with a surge four times what it could be," the governor said.
"That is a nightmare scenario on a good day," he said. "In a sustained pandemic such as this, it would be literally disastrous.
"If we go to that higher curve, it is not only your life that is in much more danger, but our medical personnel and first responders will be in that much more danger as well," Murphy said.
"This should be all the incentive we need to keep doing what we're doing," he said. "This is not a game. It's a matter of life and death.

Early demographic data
Of the 84,768 COVID-19 tests conducted in the state, 36,826, or 43 percent, were positive for the virus, said New Jersey Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli.
Persichilli also presented preliminary demographic data on the deceased.
Of those who have succumbed to complications related to the virus, 60 percent are male and 40 percent are female; 77 percent are 65 or older.
Fifteen of the new deaths were residents of a long-term care facility.
Although surveys are incomplete, 399 suffered from underlying conditions including cardiovascular disease (20 percent), diabetes (12 percent), asthma/emphysema/COPD (8 percent), chronic renal illness (7 percent), and other chronic conditions (10 percent).
The health commissioner also reported that 6,390 New Jerseyans are presently hospitalized, with 1,505 in intensive care units.
Hospitals are "aggressively working to open alternate care sites," Persichilli said, and more than 26,000 "care spaces" have been identified statewide. These are in addition to extra in-hospital capacity, beds on the U.S. Navy hospital ship Comfort, and hotel rooms for recovering individuals, she said.
In an effort to recruit more volunteers to address the expanded need for services during the pandemic, Murphy signed an executive order Monday allowing retired public employees to "return to work in whatever capacity they can without affecting their pension status."
He called for retired law enforcement, nurses, EMTs, and labor department workers to answer the bell, promising to "remove any roadblocks that can keep them from service."

"Knucklehead" report
Leaning on his signature catchphrases to call out violators of the stay-at-home order, Murphy urged "all the jackasses and all the knuckleheads out there" to "get with the program."
In an effort to drive home the point, the governor shared a widely circulating meme of a soldier carrying a donkey on his back, purportedly to show that the ignorant are the most dangerous in a crisis.
However, the miscaptioned image was not from a World War II-era soldier in a minefield, but from a French legionnaire in Algeria in 1958.
Murphy's "knucklehead row" recap from the weekend included a Rumson man who was charged with violating the stay-at-home order for allegedly organizing a house concert by a Pink Floyd cover band on April 4. Partygoers who allegedly cursed out police officers and compared them to Nazis for breaking up the gathering also have been charged.
While defending police officers, the governor identified himself as "a Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd fan," and urged residents not to attack law enforcement for enforcing his stay-at-home directive, which he described as "a life-and death decision."
"Keep social distancing, keep being smart, stay at home," Murphy said.

A330neo takes to the skies for its maiden flight
20/10/2017 Engineering, Leasing & Finance, News Written by: Nick Harding
RELATED TOPICS:a330neoairbus
The Airbus A330neo has taken to the skies for its maiden flight from Toulouse, France.
Departing from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport on Thursday 19th October, No. 1 A330neo was put through its paces during a four hour and 13-minute flight to evaluate the basic handling and operation of the aircraft.
Airbus employees along with airline executives, industry suppliers and air transport officials watched the milestone takeoff and landing.
The first A330neo is an A330-900 which will enter airline service by mid-2018. Airbus says that the -900 will become the lowest seat-mile-cost jetliner in the 300-passenger widebody category.
The A330neo combines the proven design of the A330, the worlds best selling mid-size widebody aircraft, and combines it with technologies designed to the A350 series.
Fabrice Brégier, Airbus COO and President of Airbus Commercial Aircraft said: "Today's first flight of the A330neo marks yet another milestone along the Airbus journey of continuous innovation." He added: "My congratulations and thanks go to all the teams who have contributed to make today's flight happen, and to our customers for choosing this very efficient and capable aircraft to give them market advantage. We look forward to a successful flight test campaign and entry into service of the A330neo in 2018."
The development programme will comprise 1,100 flight hours for the A330-900 campaign and aims to achieve its EASA and FAA Type Certification around the middle of 2018.
The full flight-test campaigns for both models will be performed by two A330-900s and one A330-800.
The most visible new features of the A330neo are the new wings, which are made at Airbus' UK plant in Broughton, North Wales. It has specially developed curved wingtip Sharklets – which draw on A350 XWB technology. Less visible, but equally important is the implementation of enhanced 3D-optimised aerodynamic refinements along the overall wing profile.
The other major UK contribution are the engines. Both types are powered by Rolls-Royce's latest Trent 7000 turbofan engines. The Trent 7000s deliver double-digit fuel burn improvements and the quietest operation thanks to latest technological advances including a slower-rotating front fan which has a bypass ratio of 10:1 – compared with the typical 5:1 ratio of previous-generation turbofans.
Airbus currently has orders for 212 A330neos which TAP Air Portugal being the launch customer.

Q: Symfony3 can't find response component Just started learning Symfony today and am trying to set up a test page. Following their getting started guide and doing the lucky number tutorial. I've run into an issue with the php file I copied from the tutorial here:
<?php
// src/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php
namespace AppBundle\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class LuckyController
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @Route("/api/lucky/number")
     */
    public function apiNumberAction()
    {
        $data = array(
            'lucky_number' => rand(0, 100),
        );

        return new Response(
            json_encode($data),
            200,
            array('Content-Type' => 'application/json')
        );
    }
}
?>

I am getting the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\symfony\web\lucky\number.php on line 21
If anyone could point me in the right direction to fixing this issue or even to a better tutorial for someone getting started, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

A: The file in the post should be named src/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php but you said it is named web\lucky\number.php. If that is true, that must be fixed first.

Q: Error CS0051 (Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type 'Job' is less accessible than method 'AddJobs.TotalPay(Job)') I compiled and ran the source code below successfully by omitting the totalFee field. How do I write totalFee into this program so that it will accurately calculate the total fee for each job (rate * time)? Below, you'll see I tried using a method; which generated the error CS0051 (Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type 'Job' is less accessible than method 'AddJobs.TotalPay(Job)').
This source code is in response to the following assignment:

"Design a Job class for Harold's Home Services. The class contains four data fields—Job
  description (for example, "wash windows"), time in hours to complete the Job (for
  example, 3.5), per-hour rate charged for the Job (for example, $25.00), and total fee for
  the Job (hourly rate times hours). Include properties to get and set each field except
  the total fee—that field will be read-only, and its value is calculated each time either
  the hourly fee or the number of hours is set. Overload the + operator so that two Jobs
  can be added. The sum of two Jobs is a new Job containing the descriptions of both
  original Jobs ( joined by "and"), the sum of the time in hours for the original Jobs, and
  the average of the hourly rate for the original Jobs. Write a Main()function that demonstrates all the methods work correctly. Save the file as DemoJobs.cs."
Microsoft® Visual C#® 2008, An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, 3e, Joyce Farrell

Here is the source code:
using System;

public class AddJobs
{
  private double totalFee;

  public AddJobs(double totalFee)
  {
     TotalFee = totalFee;
  }

  public static void Main()
  {
     Job job1 = new Job("washing windows", 5.00, 25.00);
     Job job2 = new Job("walking a dog", 3.00, 11.00);
     Job job3;
     job3 = job1 + job2;

     Console.WriteLine("The first job's description: {0} \nTotal time needed to complete the job: {1} hours \nHourly fee: {2} per hour", job1.Description, job1.Time, job1.Rate.ToString("C"));
     TotalPay(job1);

     Console.WriteLine("The second job's description: {0} \nTotal time needed to complete the job: {1} hours \nHourly fee: {2} per hour", job2.Description, job2.Time, job2.Rate.ToString("C"));
     TotalPay(job2);

     Console.WriteLine("The third job's description: {0} \nTotal time needed to complete the job: {1} hours \nHourly fee: {2} per hour", job3.Description, job3.Time, job3.Rate.ToString("C"));
     TotalPay(job3);
  }

  public static void TotalPay(Job method)
  {

     double totalFee = Job.rate * Job.time;
     Console.WriteLine("The total fee is: {0}", TotalFee.ToString("C"));
  }
}

     return(new Job(newDescription, newTime, newRate));
  }

  public string Description {get; set;}
  public double Time {get; set;}
  public double Rate {get; set;}
}

A: It means you are accessing a class that is not public. Make the class public like this:
public class Job
{

  public Job(string description, double time, double rate)
  {
     Description = description;

     Time = time;

     Rate = rate;
  }

A: You haven't specified a visibility modifier for your class, which makes it internal.
Try changing this line:
class Job

to this:
public class Job

A: You are right Lasse V. Karlsen you do need to add a public access modifier to the front of the class Job. Over looking the case that a method point "A" is showing the syntax error that indicates that the person was trying to access the private field. When the person should of tried to access the property of the field instead of accessing a field that was a private field.
public static void TotalPay(Job method)
  {
                           A:         A:
     double totalFee = Job.rate * Job.time;
     Console.WriteLine("The total fee is: {0}", TotalFee.ToString("C"));
  }
}
There were several different place that had similar errors just follow all of the "A"'s  using System;

{

                    //A:

An embodiment of the invention is directed to a proximity sensor arrangement used in a handheld mobile communications device. Other embodiments are also described.
In the field of personal mobile devices such as laptop computers, tablet computers, and smart phones, proximity sensors are used to sense hover events. These are no touch, close proximity positioning of parts of the user's body or other objects (e.g., a stylus held by the user), near an external surface of the device. Typically, such proximity sensors are designed to detect an external object that is located outside the near field detection capability of a touch sensor (e.g., those used in a typical touch screen display such as found in an iPhone™ device by Apple Inc.). In one instance, the proximity sensor includes an infrared emitter and a counterpart infrared detector that are controlled and sampled by proximity sensor circuitry integrated in the housing of the mobile device. Emitted infrared radiation is scattered by the external object, and then detected and analyzed to infer that an external object is (or is not) close to the exterior surface. In the case of handheld mobile communications devices, the sensor may be located near an acoustic aperture for an earpiece speaker (receiver) of a mobile communications handset, and is used to determine when the handset is being held close to the user's ear, as opposed to away from the ear. When the proximity sensor indicates that the external object, in this case, the user's ear or head, is sufficiently close, then a predetermined action is taken, including, for example, turning off or disabling a touch screen display that is on the same external face of the housing as the acoustic aperture. This, of course, is designed to avoid unintended touch events caused by the user's cheek, while the handset is held close to the user's ear during a call.
An electronic device having a proximity sensor assembly includes a radiation passing layer having a top surface and a bottom surface. A proximity sensor having an emitter and a detector is positioned below the radiation passing layer. A radiation shield positioned between the emitter and the detector extends to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer. A radiation absorber, which is a separate piece and of a separate material than the shield, is positioned to provide a radiation seal between a top surface of the shield and the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer. By virtue of its radiation absorption characteristics, together with its positioning and contact with the bottom of the radiation passing layer, the absorber may help prevent stray radiation from the emitter that may have been internally reflected within the radiation passing layer, from impinging on the detector. This internally reflected stray radiation (which is attenuated by the absorber) may be caused by original radiation from the emitter that has been internally reflected from oily build-up and residue, also referred to here as smudge, that has formed on the exterior surface of the radiation passing layer due to normal use of the device. As a result, a more accurate proximity sensor may be obtained.
The above summary does not include an exhaustive list of all aspects of the present invention. It is contemplated that the invention includes all systems and methods that can be practiced from all suitable combinations of the various aspects summarized above, as well as those disclosed in the Detailed Description below and particularly pointed out in the claims filed with the application. Such combinations have particular advantages not specifically recited in the above summary.
The embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to "an" or "one" embodiment of the invention in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and they mean at least one.

FIG. 2 depicts an example mobile device in which an embodiment of the invention can be implemented.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view along the line A, A′ of FIG. 2.

Several embodiments of the invention with reference to the appended drawings are now explained. Whenever the shapes, relative positions and other aspects of the parts described in the embodiments are not clearly defined, the scope of the invention is not limited only to the parts shown, which are meant merely for the purpose of illustration. Also, while numerous details are set forth, it is understood that some embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known circuits, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this description.
FIG. 1 illustrates relevant portions of an electronic device, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. A sectional view of the device and, in particular, a region near its exterior surface is shown that contains a radiation passage for a proximity sensor in the device. A radiation passing layer 2 separates an interior region of the device from the outside where an external object is located nearby. The radiation passing layer may be a cover or a cap which, as described further below, may also be a structural layer (e.g., part of a front facing structural plate) of the device. It may be flat as shown or somewhat curved, e.g. to provide a lens effect to the passing radiation. It may be made of a single material such as glass, ceramic, polycarbonate, or acrylic, or it may be a composite or laminate of several layers of different materials. It may function as a protective barrier, and/or it may have an aesthetic function to provide a certain look from the outside. In any case, the radiation passing layer 2 is sufficiently transmissive in a radiation band of interest, and in particular in this embodiment the infrared (IR) band, in order to permit an IR proximity sensor that is located below it to function as intended. An instance of the radiation passing layer 2 is the structural layer 11 described below in connection with FIG. 3.
The proximity sensor includes an emitter 3, which emits the radiation (here, IR) and a counterpart detector 4, which is designed to detect impinging radiation. The emitter 3 and the detector 4 have their sensitive surfaces aimed at the radiation passing layer 2, either directly or indirectly (e.g., through a prism or mirror arrangement). Both are controlled and/or sensed electrically by proximity sensor circuitry 5. This combination of the emitter, detector and proximity sensor circuitry may be a conventional, microelectronic infrared proximity sensor unit, e.g. an IR light emitting diode (LED)-based unit with a built-in light collector (lens), analog to digital conversion circuitry, and a digital communication interface to a processor (not shown). The detector may be part of a shared microelectronic device that can also be used to detect in other radiation bands, e.g. visible light. The data processor may be running proximity software that analyzes readings or samples from the proximity sensor circuitry 5, based on what has been emitted and what has been detected (as scattered or reflected radiation from the external object). The proximity software may then make a determination as to whether the external object is close, far, or in between.
Between the emitter 3 and the detector 4 is a radiation shield 7 that extends upwards to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2, as shown. The shield in this case has a simple solid or polyhedron shape, but alternatively may have a more complex shape such as a T-shape. At its bottom, the radiation shield 7 may be secured to a frame (not shown) or a printed circuit board (not shown) on which the emitter 3 and the detector 4 are also installed.
The shield 7 serves to block stray radiation originating from the emitter 3, i.e. by at least reflecting stray radiation but may also absorb some of it to a limited extent. The shield's top surface could be affixed to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer, e.g. by virtue of being glued or bonded to the bottom of an absorber 8; alternatively, its top surface could simply rest against the absorber 8, and be affixed at its bottom to a printed circuit board or other substrate or platform on which the proximity sensor is installed. The shield 7 could be a structural wall that can bear a vertical load; alternatively it could just be a fence. An instance of the shield 7 is the frame member 14 described below in connection with FIG. 3
As seen in FIG. 1, the top surface of the shield 7 conforms to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2, by virtue of being in contact with and conforming to an absorber 8. The radiation absorber 8 may be a separate piece and of a different material than the shield 7, and is positioned to provide a radiation seal between a top surface of the shield 7 and the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2. A gap-free joinder of the three components (the shield 7, the absorber 8, and the radiation passing layer 2) is desired in order to provide a proper radiation seal along the shield, in a horizontal or "Z" direction that is perpendicular to the plane of the sectional view shown in FIG. 1. This may be achieved by having the surfaces of those components conform to each other as shown. In addition, the absorber 8 may be bonded to the bottom of the radiation passing layer 2 via an adhesive layer (not shown in FIG. 1) that contains an index-matching material which reduces the difference in refraction index (for the radiation band used by the proximity sensor) between the absorber 8 and the radiation passing layer 2.
The absorber 8 covers the adjoining surfaces of the radiation passing layer 2 and the shield 7 but leaves open and separates two areas directly above the emitter 3 and the detector 4, respectively. This permits transmitted radiation and reflected/scattered radiation to pass, in this case in a substantially vertical direction, through the radiation passing layer 2 as shown, enabling the proximity sensor to work. The absorber 8 could be an otherwise continuous layer having two holes formed therein as shown in the top view of FIG. 5. The absorber 8 has a thickness in the vertical direction, and a width and length in the horizontal directions so as to sufficiently absorb stray radiation that has been internally reflected in the radiation passing layer 2 (which is depicted as a dotted line labeled "B" in the figures). The internal reflections (B) may begin at the top surface of the radiation passing layer 2 on which there may be a buildup or residue (on the exterior surface of the electronic device). This build-up or residue may be due to contact with a user's skin during normal use of the device, which may leave an oily film that also catches dust particles, thereby leaving a build-up which may facilitate the undesired internal reflections (B) within the radiation passing layer 2. The absorber 8 may be expected to significantly attenuate such undesired reflections, without inhibiting the desired reflections, such as those depicted as "A", from reaching the detector 4. In other words, the absorber 8 helps in reducing the stray radiation that would otherwise be able to get around the shield 7 via the path "B" as shown (and impinge on the detector 4). This may help the proximity sensor circuitry 5 to operate more accurately when providing a measure of the external object scattered or reflected radiation.
In one embodiment, the absorber 8 has the following characteristics in an infrared band 700 nm to 1,100 nm: transmittance less than five percent (5%), and reflectance less than ten percent (10%). Such characteristics may be achieved by a film or sheet that is made of polyester or plastic. More generally, the film or sheet should have greater infrared absorption characteristics than the radiation shield 7 (for the same thickness and its other dimensions). In one instance, the absorber 8 is made of a film or sheet that is of a different material than the shield 7. The shield 7 may need to achieve other purposes (such as strength and low cost) that might sacrifice its radiation absorption characteristics. For instance, the shield 7 may be particularly rigid (e.g., made of metal or a high strength plastic) and therefore unable to function as a radiation absorbing seal while being directly in contact with the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2. One reason may be that it cannot conform sufficiently to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2 in a horizontal plane, in order to avoid any gaps. The presence of gaps may allow radiation to pass between the emitter side and the detector side, in the form of internal reflections that are not sufficiently attenuated. Another reason for the inadequacy of the shield 7 acting by itself may be that it is of a material that does not have sufficiently high radiation absorption characteristics. By combining the shield 7 and the absorber 8, together they may form a barrier that has essentially no radiation gaps between the bottom surface of the light passing layer at one end, and the emitter and/or detector at another end.
As depicted in FIG. 5, the absorber may be formed as a mask that has two holes formed therein at positions that are directly above the emitter 3 and the detector 4 (once installed in position). It may be a film or sheet that is to be joined to the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2, and/or to the top surface of the shield 7. For instance, the sheet may be attached by an intermediate adhesive layer, such as a double-sided piece of tape or a thin layer of infrared transmissive adhesive fluid; as a film it may be deposited or rolled onto the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2 in the form of a liquid or gel which is then allowed to cure while in contact with the top surface of the shield 7. Other ways of manufacturing the stacked arrangement of the radiation passing layer 2, the absorber 8, and the shield 7 may be possible.
Turning now to FIG. 2, an example mobile device 10 in which an embodiment of the invention can be implemented is shown. This particular example is a smart phone having an exterior housing that is shaped and sized to be suitable for use as a mobile telephone handset. The mobile device 10 may be a personal wireless communications device that allows two-way real-time conversations (generally referred to as calls) between a near-end user that may be holding the device 10 against her ear, and a far-end user. There is a connection over one or more communications networks between the mobile device 10 and a counterpart device of the far-end user. Such networks may include a wireless cellular network or a wireless local area network as the first segment, and any one or more of several other types of networks such as transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) internetworks and plain old telephone system networks. The near-end user listens to the call using an earpiece speaker located within the housing of the device and that is acoustically coupled to an acoustic aperture 12 formed near the top of the housing. The near-end user's speech may be picked up by a microphone whose acoustic aperture 9 is located near the bottom of the housing. Also included in the housing are conventional electronic components such as an audio codec circuit that interfaces transducers such as the speaker and the microphone with digital audio signal processing components. The audio codec circuitry may also allow the user to listen to the call through a wireless or wired headset that is connected to the handset portion of the mobile device 10. The call may be conducted by establishing a connection through a wireless network, with the help of RF communications circuitry coupled to an antenna that are also integrated in the housing of the device 10.
A user interacts with the mobile device 10 in this case by way of a touch screen that is formed in the front exterior face or surface of the housing. The touch screen may be below the acoustic aperture 12 (earpiece speaker), and above the acoustic aperture 9 (microphone). As an alternative, a physical keyboard may be provided together with a display-only screen, as used in earlier cellular phone devices. As another alternative, the housing of the mobile device 10 may have a moveable component, such as a sliding and tilting front panel, or a clamshell structure, instead of the chocolate bar type depicted. FIG. 2 also depicts a graphical user interface of a telephony application program that is running in the device 10 (e.g., stored in non-volatile solid state memory and being executed by an applications processor). The graphical user interface causes a virtual telephone keypad to be displayed as shown, together with related virtual buttons that can be actuated by touch events of the near-end user initiating a call, accessing a stored contacts list of the user, and accessing a voicemail box of the user.
In one instance, the wireless telephony handset (shown here as the mobile device 10) has a structural layer 11 that may be a rigid, visible light transparent plate that begins at the top of the housing as shown and may extend down towards the bottom, forming most of the exterior front face of the housing and acting as a protective cover for the touch screen. The structural layer 11 is an infrared light passing layer whose top face is part of the exterior face of the housing, and whose bottom face is inside the housing (not shown). In this case, the structural layer 11 also serves as an outer protective layer of the touch screen and is therefore transparent in the visible band as well. A proximity sensor having an infrared emitter and an infrared detector both positioned below the bottom face of the structural layer 11, inside the housing, are located directly underneath the apertures indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 2. In the plane defined by the front exterior face of the mobile device 10, these infrared apertures are located above the virtual telephone keypad that is being displayed by the touch screen, closer to the acoustic aperture 12 (earpiece speaker) than the acoustic aperture 9 (microphone). A sectional view of a relevant region inside housing along the lines A, A′ is shown in FIG. 3.
As seen in FIG. 3, the acoustic aperture 12 is formed in the structural layer 11, to the side of a region through which infrared radiation will pass for operation of the proximity sensor. An internal frame member 14 is positioned between the emitter 3 and the detector 4, where the frame member 14 (as an instance of the shield 7, see FIG. 1) serves to block infrared radiation between the emitter and the detector. In addition, the internal frame member 14 may be designed (with the appropriate size and shape, as well as material) to assist in maintaining a rigid overall housing structure, by serving as a weight bearing column or wall, against the bottom surface of the structural layer 11. The frame member 14 extends upwards to the bottom face of the structural layer 11 where it meets a radiation absorber 8 formed between a top surface of the frame member 14 and the bottom surface of the structural layer 11. The frame member extends continuously upward and joins the bottom face of the structural layer 11 through the absorber 8, in order to form a wall that has no infrared radiation gaps between the bottom surface of the structural layer 11 and the emitter and detector. In this case, the frame member has a T-shaped cross section as shown, where the absorber 8 conforms to the top of the T-shape cross-section. The absorber 8 (as described above in connection with FIG. 1) serves to absorb the internally reflected infrared radiation (originating as rays "B" that would otherwise make their way to the detector 4 as indicated by a dotted line), where such may have been caused by buildup or residue shown on the top face of the structural layer 11. This reduces the amount of stray radiation that impinges on the detector 4, which may increase the accuracy of the proximity sensor. Note that the emitter 3 and the detector 4 have been installed, in this example, on the same microelectronic or printed circuit board carrier, which may be a rigid printed circuit board piece. Other options for installing these components of the proximity sensor within the housing of the mobile device 10 are possible.
In this case, the proximity sensor arrangement, including the absorber 8, has been integrated in the mobile device 10 in such a way as to provide the mobile device 10 with an external look that is uniformly dark. This may be achieved by the following arrangement of layers. A visible light opaque layer 13 (that may have a dark color such as black) is formed in contact with the bottom face of the structural layer 11, with an opening therein aligned with the emitter 3 and another opening aligned with the detector 4. The layer 13 may be a black ink layer (which is opaque in the visible band) that has been deposited or rolled onto the bottom surface of the structural layer 11 and allowed to cure, while the openings have been masked off. This layer 13 gives the exterior face of the device 10 a uniform and dark look from the outside (as the structural layer 11 may be transparent in the visible band). A purpose of the openings in the layer 13 is to allow infrared radiation to pass, as needed by the proximity sensor, because the black ink layer may not have sufficient transmissivity in the infrared band. Next, an IR transmissive layer 15 that is opaque in the visible band is applied to the bottom surface of the layer 13 as shown, also filling the openings therein. The IR transmissive layer 15 may be a film of IR transparent paint (also referred to as IR transmissive paint or ink, e.g. a dark or black ink) that has been deposited or rolled onto the back of bottom face of the structural layer 11. The layer 15 serves to give a uniform appearance to the exterior face of the housing, by hiding the openings that have been formed in the layer 13. Next, the absorber 8 is applied over the IR transmissive layer 15 as shown. As described above in connection with FIG. 1, the absorber 8 may include a Mylar® film or sheet that is separate from but has been joined to the bottom surface of the structural layer 11 (in this case over the visibly opaque layer 13 and the IR transmissive layer 15); alternatively, it may be joined to the top surface of the frame member 14, prior to being brought into contact with the bottom of the structural layer 11. The film or sheet may be a polyester film or a plastic sheet that has greater infrared absorption characteristics than that of the frame member 14, for the same dimensions, e.g. thickness in the vertical direction. For instance, the absorber may have a transmittance of less than five percent (5%) and a reflectance of less than ten percent (10%), in an infrared band 700 nm to 1,100 nm. As an alternative, the infrared band may be slightly wider or narrower, but the transmittance should be about less than 5% and the reflectance should be about less than 10% in such bands.
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention where the absorber 8 is composed of an infrared passing adhesive layer 16 (e.g., an optically clear adhesive fluid) in contact with the top face of an absorbing layer 17 (e.g., a Mylar® sheet patterned as shown in FIG. 5). The adhesive fluid may be an index matching material that reduces differences in index of refraction (within the infrared band used by the proximity sensor) between the absorber 8 and the radiation passing layer 2 or structural layer 11. The two holes may actually be physical holes made only in the absorbing layer 17, and not in the infrared passing adhesive layer 16, and are aligned with the locations of the emitter 3 and the detector 4 (which may be directly below these holes). Alternatively, the adhesive layer 16 may be applied only to the top face of the patterned piece (absorbing layer 17). The absorber 8 is then pressed against the bottom surface of the radiation passing layer 2 or structural layer 11, to form the arrangement as shown. Note also a difference in this case, relative to the embodiment of FIG. 3, in that there is a single, larger opening formed in the visibly opaque layer 13, which encompasses the emitter and the detector regions as well as the separating region between them. Accordingly, the visibly opaque infrared transmissive layer 14 will in this case fill the entirety of such opening as shown, in order to maintain the desired uniform dark look from the exterior. The structure in FIG. 4 may be otherwise the same as that of FIG. 3.
What has been described above is an electronic device having an external housing in which the constituent components of the device are located, a radiation passing layer or structural layer (also referred to here as a cover) that physically protects the electronic components while allowing radiation to pass therethrough, a proximity sensor that transmits radiation out of the housing and receives radiation that has been scattered outside of the housing, and a shield that blocks stray radiation from impinging on the detector portion of the proximity sensor. An absorber is positioned between the shield and the bottom surface of the cover in a way that removes radiation gaps and serves to take up stray radiation, that may be due to internal reflections within cover, such as those caused by smudge on the exterior face of the cover, in order to prevent such from impinging on the detector portion of the sensor. A method for manufacturing such an electronic device may proceed as follows.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a bottom or rear face of a transparent cover or cap (an instance of the structural layer 11 or radiation passing layer 2) is prepared to receive a coat of visibly opaque (dark) paint thereon. One or more paint masks that are located directly above the positions of an emitter and a detector of a proximity sensor are applied to the prepared surface. The dark paint layer is then applied and allowed to cure. The mask is removed thereby exposing the bottom surface of the cover at the IR apertures, which will be located directly above the emitter and the detector. A visibly opaque infrared transmissive layer (e.g., a coat of IR transmissive black ink) is applied to the exposed IR apertures, and is then allowed to cure. Finally, an absorber is applied as either a single film or as a multi-layer structure, with openings that are aligned with those in the original black paint layer. For instance, an IR clear adhesive may be applied to a top face of an IR absorbing layer 17 that has separate physical openings formed therein for the emitter and the detector, which is then adhered to the IR transmissive layer 15. Alternatively, the IR clear adhesive may be applied to the bottom of the cover (over the IR transmissive layer 15), and then the IR absorbing layer 17 is pressed onto the bottom of the cover against the adhesive. Additional operations may be needed prior to the above or thereafter, before the cover has been completed and is ready to be installed into the housing. At that point, the cover is positioned into the housing, with its IR apertures and openings aligned to the emitter and the detector locations, and is brought into contact with the top surface of the internal frame member 14. The cover is then fixed in that position and becomes the exterior front face of the housing.
While certain embodiments have been described and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention, and that the invention is not limited to the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described, since various other modifications may occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, although the manufacturing process has been described in connection with the embodiments of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a similar process can be gleaned for the embodiment of FIG. 1 in which no visibly opaque layers may be necessary. Also, while the drawings depict different layers being in contact with each other (e.g., in FIG. 3, layer 13 is in contact with the bottom of layer 11, and the absorber is in contact with the layer 15), this does not preclude an additional or intermediate layer between them so long as the purposes of the radiation seal achieved by the absorber 8, including that of attenuating the stray internal reflections within the layer 11, are not thwarted. The description is thus to be regarded as illustrative instead of limiting.

Kościół Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny i św. Wacława w Króliku Polskim – drewniany rzymskokatolicki kościół filialny pw. Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny i św. Wacława, wzniesiony 1754, znajdujący się w miejscowości Królik Polski.

Kościół włączono do podkarpackiego Szlaku Architektury Drewnianej.

Historia
Pierwotny średniowieczny kościół w Króliku Polskim zniszczył najazd tatarski w 1624. Świątynię odbudowano w 1647 z nową kamienną zakrystią. Równocześnie kościół ufortyfikowano budując kamienny mur i usypując obronny wał. Podczas najazdu wojsk Jerzego II Rakoczego w 1657 kościół zniszczony. Obecną świątynię zbudowano w 1754 z fundacji biskupa przemyskiego Wacława Hieronima Sierakowskiego. Pozostawiono murowaną zakrystię i prawdopodobnie wykorzystano część drewnianego budulca ze starej świątyni. Kościół konsekrowano w 1756. W 1944 w czasie działań wojennych zniszczono zwieńczenie wieży. Po zabezpieczeniu w 1945 świątynię odnowiono w 1950. W 1969 wykonano nową dekorację malarską. Gruntowny remont kościoła przeprowadzono w latach 2018–2019.

Architektura i wyposażenie
Kościół to budowla drewniana, konstrukcji zrębowej, orientowany. Do prostokątnego prezbiterium zamkniętego trójbocznie, przylega od północy kamienna, otynkowana, także prostokątna zakrystia. Nawa szersza na rzucie prostokąta. Niska wieża, konstrukcji słupowo-ramowej, na planie zbliżonym do kwadratu, z kruchtą w przyziemiu, nieco odsunięta od korpusu nawowego i połączona z nim przejściem. Nakryta dachem namiotowym zwieńczonym pseudolatarnią. Nad prezbiterium i nawą oddzielne dachy dwuspadowe. W kalenicy dachu nawy ośmioboczna wieżyczka na sygnaturkę zwieńczona latarnią. Dachy i ściany pokryte gontem.

Wewnątrz stropy z fasetą. W zakrystii zachował się kamienny portal z 1647, z żelaznymi drzwiami. Na belce tęczowej grupa Pasji z XIX w. Na wyposażeniu świątyni znajduje się:
 ołtarz główny, późnobarokowy z II połowy XVIII w., z obrazem Matki Boskiej z Dzieciątkiem, malowanym na desce z 1636
 dwa ołtarze boczne z XVIII w. przeniesione z cerkwi w Kamionce
 chrzcielnica kamienna z około 1720
 prospekt organowy z 1756, zakupiony przez fundatora kościoła
 ambona z 1759

Otoczenie
Wokół placu kościelnego zachowały się pozostałości muru kamiennego i wałów obronnych z XVII w. Na wschód od kościoła znajduje się nagrobek i grota Matki Boskiej z Lourdes z XIX w. Od strony północnej usytuowany jest nowy murowany kościół parafialny zbudowany w latach 1999–2005.
