In the course of the addition of the drop-ceiling, all of the skylights and windows that once were used to provide natural lighting to the interior, have been covered, and electric fluorescent lights have been installed. Four columns are used for the support of the ceilings and are the only remainder of the architectural accents. At the base of each of these columns, save one, sits a large, decorative marble urn. These urns


title: "Radar speed sign" content: Radar speed sign A radar speed sign is an interactive sign, generally constructed of a series of LEDs, that displays vehicle speed as motorists approach. The purpose of radar speed signs is to slow cars down by making drivers aware when they are driving at speeds above the posted limits. They are used as a traffic calming device in addition to or instead of physical devices such as speed humps, speed cushions, speed tables, and speed bumps. The devices have been referred to by a wide variety of names, a partial list of which follows: driver feedback sign, radar signs,


title: "Radar speed sign" content: Vehicle Activated Sign (UK), changeable message sign, Your Speed sign, radar feedback sign, speed radar sign, radar speed display, speed feedback sign, traffic calming sign, speed display board, dynamic speed display (DSDS) or variable message sign. Radar speed signs are often used in school zones, sometimes in conjunction with Safe Routes to School programs, in construction zones, or on busy residential roads. Some college and corporate campuses use radar speed signs to slow traffic as well. Many plants are using these signs to monitor forklifts and other type trucks. There are steps to placing a radar speed sign. Speed display


title: "Radar speed sign" content: signs are sometimes used in conjunction with physical traffic calming solutions. They are also used on streets that cities do not want to put physical measures on either because of snow concerns or traffic volume. Often, cities will use these signs to test streets to determine the need for further traffic calming. Signs are available in a range of costs with a variety of different features. Manufacturers of radar speed signs abound, ranging in style and features from a basic inexpensive sign to more sophisticated signs with myriad features to help analyze data and improve results. Pole mounted signs that


title: "Radar speed sign" content: combine speed display with variable message capability are often used in school zones, eliminating the trailer's "footprint". Standard signs have stationary block letters that display the words "your speed". More advanced models include variable messages such as Your Speed, Speed Limit, and Slow Down, which can be programmed based on motorist speed. Many manufacturers offer optional solar power, which allows the signs to be powered via solar energy with rechargeable batteries included for nighttime operation. Many users (especially in Northern climates) have reported problems with solar powered signs failing to work during winter months, and with their internal batteries failing


title: "Radar speed sign" content: prematurely. However, newer proprietary power efficient methods are available as well as cold weather batteries. Some of the features offered on the higher end signs include focused viewing systems to avoid distractions for motorists in other lanes, vehicle data collection, programmable software that allows you to determine sign behavior, and/or access via portable devices such as Bluetooth or PDAs. Many signs offer tampering and vandalism prevention measures built into the signs, such as Lexan and BashPlates. Some signs offer a flashing light to warn motorists who exceed a designated speed. However, many state, county and city traffic engineers in the


title: "Radar speed sign" content: USA specify only signs that meet the federal guidelines called MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) which, due to safety reasons, eliminate certain distracting features like strobe lights and certain color messages. A Vermont state guideline is very specific and eliminates many features. See more about MUTCD below. Studies conducted both in the UK and in the US have found radar speed signs to effectively slow traffic down. Although the overall speed reductions are generally less than those resulting from physical measures, the signs have the greatest effect on those drivers that are exceeding the posted speed, or traveling


title: "Radar speed sign" content: within speed transition zones. One sample study undertaken along speed transition zones in Shelburne, Vermont measured vehicle speeds at three locations before and after the installation of radar speed signs, and found reductions in 85th percentile speed ranging from 3 to 8 mph. Another study conducted in Bellevue, Washington found that various types of radar speed signs installed in thirty-one locations resulted in 85th percentile speed reductions generally ranging from about 2-6 mph, with a few exceptions; Where four locations measured a reduction of less than 1 mph, and one other location had actually increased by 0.3 mph. However, another


title: "Radar speed sign" content: location had measured the maximum reduction of 6.8 mph. In spite of the small "average" speed reduction, the city considers the signs to be successful because they have resulted in a dramatic reduction in the speed of those vehicles that were traveling in excess of the limit, while not interfering with the progress of the majority of traffic that is already traveling at or below the speed limit. The signs were most effective on streets where vehicles were driving more than 10 mph above the posted speed limit. In the Bellevue study, streets where signs were installed continued to experience


title: "Radar speed sign" content: speed reductions even two years after the signs were installed. The MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), a standards document issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), has specified standards regarding sign size and letter height for Speed Limit Signs (an R2-1 in the parlance) under Section 2B.13. This is the only section of the current revision of the MUTCD to mention the use of a radar speed sign and refers to them as “changeable message signs”, a term normally associated with work zone safety and the like. Subsequent the release

In tradition of Marcel Duchamp, the "two main roles" of this exhibit are the work itself, and the person watching it. Only here, the subjective role of the beholder is not the only one. They are personally drawn into the exhibit, by way of a mirror. The work represents a house, with its door wide open, inviting and welcoming every visitor. Except, a certain visitor is watching this house over a barbed wire fence. On the other

The author's intention was to combine these two persons into one, so that people who had never had the chance to be on the other side of the barbed wire, can benefit in two ways: Firstly, they can see how it is to be looking over a barbed wire into a house inviting you, which you cannot reach. And secondly, they can see themselves passively looking from the house at the person outside the fence, doing nothing to remove this segregation. The concept of this project is to

title: "Package on package" content: Package on package Package on package (PoP) is an integrated circuit packaging method to combine vertically discrete logic and memory ball grid array (BGA) packages. Two or more packages are installed atop each other, i.e. stacked, with a standard interface to route signals between them. This allows higher component density in devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), and digital cameras. Two widely used configurations exist for PoP: During PCB assembly, the bottom package of a PoP stack is placed directly on the PCB, and the other package(s) of the stack are stacked on top. The packages of

The package on package technique tries to combine the benefits of traditional packaging with the benefits of die-stacking techniques, while avoiding their drawbacks. Traditional packaging places each die in its own package, a package designed for normal PCB assembly techniques that place each package directly on the PCB side-by-side. The 3D die-stacking system in package (SiP) techniques stacks multiple die in a single package, which has several advantages and also some disadvantages compared to traditional PCB assembly. In embedded PoP techniques, chips are embedded in


title: "Package on package" content: a substrate on the bottom of the package. This PoP technology enables smaller packages with shorter electrical connections and is supported by companies such as Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE). The most obvious benefit is motherboard space savings. PoP uses much less PCB area, almost as little as stacked-die packages. Electrically, PoP offers benefits by minimizing track length between different interoperating parts, such as a controller and memory. This yields better electrical performance of devices, since shorter routing of interconnections between circuits yields faster signal propagation and reduced noise and cross-talk. There are several key differences between stacked-die and stacked-package products.


title: "Package on package" content: The main financial benefit of package on package is that the memory device is decoupled from the logic device. Therefore this gives PoP all the same advantages that traditional packaging has over stacked-die products: Package on package is also known by other names: Package on package technology is protected under the following patents (this list may not be complete): Package on package Package on package (PoP) is an integrated circuit packaging method to combine vertically discrete logic and memory ball grid array (BGA) packages.
