The Big Steps That Singapore Has Made: Living In The Future Today
Singapore seems to have already got into the future that many countries look forward to getting to in several years to come. The ultra-modern infrastructures-the metro lines, the parks, skyscrapers and others already in place and others coming up daily are a manifestation of great advancement. Before getting to Singapore, you need to get a visa. For assistance with the visa processing, see here Visa Express for a reliable visa processing agent who will ensure all your visa and other traveling documents needs are well taken care of.
While in the city-state, get time to get atop Marina Bay Sands Hotel, made up of three 56 floor towers linked at the top by an awe-inspiring 340m long platform called the Sky Park, to get an idea of how far Singapore is into the future. You will get to savor breath-taking views from the infinity pool; the world's only such high pool. As you sip your favorite drink, you cannot help but appreciate the expansive scene below. Most of the structures that you will see have been constructed in the past five year's period. Construction cranes are all over indicating some upcoming buildings that will be standing tall sometime this year or the coming year.
Marina Reservoir
Overlooking Marina Bay Sands Hotel is Marina Bay, or precisely, a body of water called Marina Reservoir. This was once a saline river-mouth of the Singapore River, the trading area for the city since 1819, but transformed into a freshwater dam by the Marina Barrage and was finished in 2008. It is nowadays a very popular site for strolls and picnics. Another aim of having the barrage is to prevent flooding in the low-lying regions. During heavy rains that are quite common, crest gates let out rainwater into the sea by the opening. When the current is high, the dam remains closed, preventing entry of seawater. When there is a need, giant pumps get into action to get surplus water out of the dam to maintain its level constant. Other countries or cities may borrow a leaf from this technology as coastal areas are under constant threats from flooding due to storm surges that result from increasing sea-levels. This is also a good remedy for water shortages partly due to climate changes. The reservoirs besides being a giant water holder, gives a very beautiful reflection of the skyscrapers and is a center for recreation.
To the west of Marina Bay Sands, there lies some reclaimed land measuring about 1 square kilometer and is being converted into Gardens by Bay – a chain of themed gardens. One of the gardens, the Heritage Garden,is a great display of the plants used by the three major ethnic groups- the Chinese, the Malays and the Indians and the British colonialists too, who are credited with transforming the remote island into a commercial center. Standing tall in the gardens are the Super trees, which are a collection of 25 to 50 meters steel structures that resemble palm trees and the floor is made of plants and vines to make vertical gardens. The Super trees are more than an iconic element of the park, but also provide shade like real trees, collect rainwater and reduce heat by absorbing it.
The most phenomenal thing about the Gardens by Bay is the greenhouse complex -the largest in the world. It is housed under two very tall irregularly shaped glass domes. Flower Dome replicates a semi-arid, Mediterranean climate (23C to 25C) where thousand years old olive trees, from Italy, grow alongside local temperate plants that are a real wonder. The Cloud Forest comes up with a tropical rain forest. Its center of attraction is an artificial mountain rising to 35 meters with a winding walkway inside and waterfall on one side.
The Singapore Mass Rapid Transit system
The Marina Bay Area is well connected by the efficient and well managed Singapore Mass Rapid Transit system. There are well constructed and air-conditioned stations along the system and comfortable spacious train cars that serve the commuters. In case you opt to walk, you can do so the whole length of the rail system.
The Highway and Housing
The construction of a 5 km long 10-lane highway at cost 4.3B Singaporean dollars, that mostly passes underground or underwater has freed up some very valuable real estate land in the CBD. The highway is meant to redirect traffic from the East Coast Parkway,a hectic expressway that had cut off the Gardens by the Bay from the Bayfront MRT station, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and the Central Business District. The population of the island state also enjoys good housing from the state where not less than 80% of the population benefits.
Singapore can be said to be in the future going by the social and economic developments and advancement in terms of infrastructure and technology.

In 1998, the Fachhochschule Offenburg participates for the first time in the Shell Eco-marathon in Circuit Paul Armagnac in France. As the first German team under project creator and team leader Raphael Fischer, they start with the Schluckspecht I of the 'Prototype' class. This is where the name 'Schluckspecht' was born, because the first model with its gasoline engine consumed so much fuel that the tank was not enough for one run.
For the second participation in the Shell Eco-marathon the experiences of the previous year were used to revise the Schluckspecht I. The Specht drove even more efficient and economically.
At the turn of the millennium, the Specht was taken on new paths. Instead of the previous gasoline engine, a diesel engine was used. It was built in the new model - the Schluckspecht II. With the new model, the team reached for the first time over 700km with a liter of diesel and came among the 50 best teams of the competition.
The increase in efficiency from previous years was continued and the Schluckspecht II reached 958 km/l over 250km more than in 2000.
In 2002, finally, the 1000km mark was cracked. With 1029 km per one liter of diesel, the team Schluckspecht moved into ninth place in the Top Ten of the Shell Eco-marathon.
The Schluckspecht II had its day and a new model was needed. The new Schluckspecht III captivated not only by its modern design, but also with Aerodynmaik and an ultra-light construction. The effort was worthwhile and the new Specht reached the first place for safety and the second place for conception.
With almost 1300km per one liter of diesel, the team Schluckspecht narrowly missed the winner's podium in the diesel category. But fourth place showed that the team with its know-how was on the right path.
After seven years of project, the team Schluckspecht earned the first place in the podium at the Shell Eco-marathon. With a range of 1807 km l, the Schluckspecht III was able to outpace all competitors in the diesel category.
In 2006, the team decided to try out new drive concepts. For this purpose, the diesel engine was replaced by a low-emission hydrogen fuel cell. This was in the specially developed wheel hub motor in the rear wheel. For this innovative concept, the team won directly the 1st place of the Bosch Innovation Award as well as the 3rd place in the fuel cell category.
The further development of the hydrogen fuel cell was rewarded this year with 2716 km / l and the 2nd place in the fuel cell category. For this success and the innovativeness of the project, the team was additionally rewarded by the Baden-Württemberg State Secretary for Science Dietrich Birk with a check for € 10,000.
At the third start with the new drive it was done. Schluckspecht III managed an unbelievable 3198 km l and reached the 1st place of the fuel cell category. In addition, Team Schluckspecht became the first team ever to introduce a self-developed direct ethanol fuel cell, which Shell honored with a special prize.
The Schluckspecht III stayed at home this year and made room for a new member of the vehicle family - the Schluckspecht City. The new model, also powered by hydrogen, entered the vehicle category 'Urban Concept'. In contrast to the protoype, the Urban Concept must be similar in its specification to roadworthy vehicles. Mandatory are for example: 4 wheels, lights and flashing system, an upright sitting position of the driver and a trunk.
In the new decade, both models were again in use at the Shell Eco-marathon. The competition was held for the second time at the Euro Speedway in Lausitz and the Schluckspecht III reached the 2nd place of the fuel cell category. The Schluckspecht City was unfortunately due to a technical defect and could not participate in the rating. But he entered in the fall with a battery operation at the 'South African Solar Challenge' and set there with 626km a new record.
In 2011, the Shell Eco-marathon was back in business again. The Schluckspecht City was now called Schluckspecht E2LIGHT and was equipped with a new chassis that reduced the weight of the car by a new system for load distribution of 159kg to 111kg. Shell honored this with the Innovation Award in the category 'Urban Concept'. In August, the team then managed to set a world record with the new model on a test track in Boxberg (Main-Tauber-Kreis). With 1631km per battery charge, the Specht drove over 600km more than the previous world record holders from Japan.
The Shell Eco-marathon took place for the first time in Rotterdam. Due to a motor failure, the Schluckspecht III managed only to finish 5th in the fuel category. The Schluckpspecht City use this year a new drive - the Sterling engine and drove thus out of competition. This engine uses heat for power generation instead of conventional fuel. For the first time the work of the team was also honored by the Federal Republic of Germany. As one of 365 projects, the team Schluckspecht was awarded the '365 Orte im Land der Ideen' trophy.
Under the new team leader Professor Claus Fleig, the team used for the first time a diesel engine to move the Schluckspecht 4 (City) and drove directly with 309 km / l on position 1 of the winners podium category diesel engines. Unfortunately, Schluckspecht III was less fortunate and could not compete in Rotterdam after an engine failure.
With their Schluckspecht 4, the team Schluckspecht 2014 set a new world record. The diesel-powered Specht managed arithmetically 389 km per liter of diesel and left all teams from Europe, America and Asia far behind. The team Schluckspecht was also successful next to the race track. The 'Shell Helix Tribology Award' also went to the students from Offenburg. With this award, the work to optimize the friction of the diesel engine by calculations and simulations were appreciated.
'15 came the 5th. The latest model of the Schluckspecht family, the Schluckspecht V, is, like its predecessor, an urban concept. Like all Spechts, its ergonomic body made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and its modern cockpit were developed and manufactured almost exclusively by students at the university of applied science. The lightest and most stable Sled Woodpecker of all time brought the cup of the diesel category to Offenburg for the third time.
Although the Schluckspecht V did not top its record in the previous year at 249 km/l, it still secured its first place in the diesel category on the new track in London. The battery-powered Prototype Schluckspecht III just missed the podium with 4th and 620 km/kWh. In December, however, he was able to prove his skills in Maranello Italy at the headquarters of the sports car brand Ferrari. 328km/kwH earned Schluckspecht III the title of 'most fuel-efficient vehicle' in Shell's 'Most Efficient Lap of Fiorano Circuit' competition, which was also held for the best teams in the Shell Eco-marathon.
In 2017, both cars entered the 'Drivers World Championship' for the first time. In this sub-competition of the Shell Eco-marathon efficiency is combined with speed. The track was heavily used. The Schluckspecht V achieved the 4th place with 321 km/l and the Schluckspecht III the 8th place with 443 km/kWh.
In 2018, the team broke new ground and developed its Schluckspecht V into an autonomous vehicle. For this new class of the Shell Eco-marathon, the team had to qualify in the Challenger Events in Paris held in May. This managed the modified S5 with flying colors. With three out of four challenges, the team confidently qualified for the main competition in London - not least due to the program code developed by the students themselves. Two months later in London, the team unfortunately just missed the podium because of technical difficulties and changed track conditions. However, the team members were determined to pursue the exciting theme of autonomous driving and thus help their S5A to victory.

If predicting the future is dumb, then predicting advances in technology is even dumber. Challenges will appear that we've never contemplated, and knowledge we now hold dear will in many cases be proven false. The prediction game can soon become more a reflection of 'us' in the 21st century rather than 'them' in the 22nd century.
And yet, as we enter a period of hyper-adoption of new technology, we have more data than ever before to give us an idea of what the world could look like in 100 years. And we know one thing, it's that the future is going to be home to some amazing technologies.
By the year 2100 the average temperature is projected to increase by at least 1C. Cue rising sea levels, which will threaten hundreds of cities worldwide. One solution could be floating cities, which the Seasteading Institute has been trying to encourage for years. It's already happening in French Polynesia, where Blue Frontiers is planning the Floating Island Project.
"I foresee huge floating cities that can move, join together, pull apart – that's the sort of future I see in a hundred years, not only because we will need to because environmental issues will become more severe, but because technology will make the ocean a lot more hospitable," says Paul Amstrong, founder of future technology consultancy Here/Forth.
He name-checks 4D printing and graphene as two of the technologies that will enable us to construct those cities, and adds that plastic-digesting nano-bots could be used to clean up the oceans, even gobbling up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Life expectancy for the United Nations-projected 11.2 billion people living by 2100 may not increase drastically, but older people will be healthier.
Brain-computer connections are already possible, although developing the software and interfaces is going to take time. Another massive trend will be personalised medicine; expect medi-pods in our homes that can diagnose problems, and implants that do the same on the move.
Beyond both driverless cars and Amazon wanting to use drones to deliver parcels, the far-flung future could have a completely new kind of airspace.
At present, global airspace is managed in a rigid 'airspace corridor' way, purely for the benefit of commercial and military aircraft, but that could change. "Global airspace could be managed in a continuously flexible and dynamic way for the benefit of all," says Robert Garbett, founder and CEO of Drone Major Group.
Garbett forsees "an airspace populated with vertical columns used by aircraft making sub-space jumps, shifting geo-routes allowing passenger drones to pass safely at any altitude, and shifting geo-fences protecting manned routes and high-value assets".
That kind of dynamic use of airspace could lead to an explosion in unmanned transport systems – drones. It could mean "driverless flying taxis in our smart cities, and reduced accident response times through the use of driverless ambulances", according to Garbett, while also making traveling to work a breeze by opening up rooftop drop-offs in built-up areas.
"The sky above us is an untapped sea of air that will have incredible value as the drone industry expands," Garbett adds.
We live on a 'blue planet', but we're short of 'blue gold'. Droughts are on the increase, and where there's drought, there are dams, and inevitable political conflict. However, the potential water wars of the future could be avoided if humans were able to so something that sounds like it should be simple: drink the sea.
Desalination plants remove salt and minerals from water to make it drinkable, but getting seawater into a plant is incredibly energy-intensive. Cue a fossil fuel-free idea from New Mexico-based wave energy company Atmocean, which involves wave-harnessing pumps to get seawater ashore more cost-effectively. Trialled off Peru a few years ago, the system also produces excess electricity.
From drinking water to irrigation, aquaculture and greening the deserts, advances like this in desalination technology could make a massive difference. The creation of micro-filtration using graphene sieves should also allow so-called 'toilet to tap' technology to extract water from urine in homes. Gulp.
"We know that how we produce food now is unsustainable, so in a hundred years we'll start to see a radically different way of feeding and farming," says Armstrong.
"Soon we'll be able to have a meal that is nutritionally sufficient – it's just about figuring out what the body needs, and listening to it," he says, adding that nano-materials and nano-technology that can live inside the body will become important.
It's already happening; in the US, the Food and Drug Administration just approved a digital pill embedded with a sensor that send data to doctors detailing whether patients have taken their medication. The same could happen with food in humans and animals to introduce precision consumption.
Artificial intelligence is so over-hyped right now that it's obviously a reflection of people's pathetic fears about 'robot takeovers'. But AI and computing power are destined to become the enablers for something 22nd society will need a lot of: energy.
Per capita energy consumption is already rising so fast that we'll need a miracle to prevent humanity from entering a period of energy-starved stasis. Is that miracle nuclear fusion?
"Fusion will certainly be an essential part of the energy mix by 2100, providing between 15% and 35% of global energy," says Jonathan Carling, CEO of Tokamak Energy, which is now testing its third fusion reactor.
AI is currently being used to develop the all-important models of plasma physics, so that scientists can predict how reactions will work. Once we've cracked it, humanity will have low-carbon energy forever.
Can technology solve all of humanity's problems? It can, absolutely – but whether it will or not depends hugely on whether humans allow it to live up to its potential. What happens in the future also largely depends on discovering that what we know now is probably wrong.
"Futurology is a risky game," says Dmitry Bagrov, MD of DataArt UK, who thinks that what would be really be fascinating is to be able to travel to the future, so that we could travel back to see the present.
"A backwards time machine would depict our world now, as it actually is rather than the imagined present we live in," Bagrov adds, explaining that we have yet to understand our context, and what is real and what is not.
"Think of all the deeply held, but wrong, theories, that have existed over the years – the flat Earth, the four humours theory, the alchemists – and imagine if we had a machine to show us all of this now." Much of what we think we know today will, by the year 2100, be considered archaic pseudoscience.
"Hopefully, the future will give us technology to truly understand the past so that we don't repeat mistakes in the future … of the future," says Bagrov.
Time machines may be beyond even 22nd century engineers, but don't underestimate the importance of a raft of upcoming technology – some seemingly simple, some incredibly complex – will change the world.

Gennady Golovkin could box until he is 40, his promoter has claimed, but Floyd Mayweather has been warned to remain in retirement.
Golovkin, aged 35, was left disappointed with the scoring of last weekend's draw against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez but his longevity could yet match Mayweather's, despite their paths never crossing inside the ring.
Floyd said it would be 'easy work' because GGG has 'no special effects' but realistically they know what the outcome would have been.
"There were never serious talks. We can't blame Floyd because he was never in the [middleweight] division. If he was in the division it would be a different story but he's never fought at 160lbs.
Golovkin's "priority" is to rematch Canelo next May yet the IBF, WBC and WBA 'super' middleweight champion could still emulate Mayweather by fighting into his 40s.
"He said he could fight for another five years," Loeffler said. "Gennady's style of punching power doesn't diminish, like we saw with George Foreman. The power-punching is [the attribute] that goes last, with an older fighter.
"Gennady's defence is vastly underrated. He's the one coming forwards and pressing the action but [after the Canelo fight] it didn't look like he was in a 12 round fight. No swollen or black eyes, just a few scratches.
Golovkin would be open to a second fight in the UK, after beating Kell Brook last September.
Miguel Cotto would "definitely" be considered as an opponent for Golovkin in December, should they opt to fight before a potential rematch with Canelo.
He shouldve "entertained" a high stakes meeting with Andre Ward. Still talking about Floyd.

Q: substring with an array string - Swift I have an array:
var array = ["1|First", "2|Second", "3|Third"]

How I can cut off "1|", "2|", "3|"?
The result should look like this:
println(newarray) //["First", "Second", "Third"]

A: You can use (assuming the strings will contain the "|" character):
let newarray = array.map { $0.componentsSeparatedByString("|")[1] }

As @Grimxn pointed out, if you cannot assume that the "|" character will always be in the strings, use:
let newarray = array.map { $0.componentsSeparatedByString("|").last! }

or
let newarray2 = array.map { $0.substringFromIndex(advance(find($0, "|")!, 1)) }

result2 could be a little bit faster, because it doesn't create an intermediate array from componentsSeparatedByString.
or if you want to modify the original array:
for index in 0..<array.count {
    array[index] = array[index].substringFromIndex(advance(find(array[index], "|")!, 1))
}

Hello from after market car audio France. I'm glad to be here. My first name is Mae. I live in a town called La Courneuve in western France. I was also born in La Courneuve 33 years ago. Married in April year 2008. I'm working at the university. In the event you loved this post in addition to you want to acquire more information with regards to after market car audio i implore you to stop by our own webpage.


Next week I'll be attending the National Genealogical Society's 2014 Family History Conference in Richmond, Virginia. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing some of the presentations on Virginia records. I know I have several Virginia ancestors and suspect I may have even more, so I'm also excited about working in some research time at the Library of Virginia while I'm there.
One person I want to investigate is Catharine Fox, wife of Jacob Roush. Jacob served in the Dunmore County Militia under Captain Jacob Holman during the Revolutionary War. (The name of the county changed to Shenandoah in 1778, after the patriotic colonists tired of the British Lord Dunmore.) Although I've found a number of records for Jacob, I know much less about his wife Catharine, who is my 6th-great-grandmother. According to DAR records, she was born in 1758 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. I haven't been able to find a birth or baptism record to verify that information yet, but it's a clue, at least. Her parents are unknown.
The marriage bonds of Shenandoah County, Virginia, show that Jacob Rausch secured a bond to marry Catharine Fuchsin on 21 February 1775. The record, which I've only seen in abstracted form, uses the German spellings of both surnames. (Fuchs is the German word for Fox, and the –in suffix at the end of the name indicates the person is female.) In the absence of a surviving marriage return, I'm following the DAR's lead in using this as the date of their marriage.
The births and baptisms of Jacob and Catharine's first seven children were recorded in the registry of Old Pine Church in Mill Creek, Virginia. The registry is written in German, but has been transcribed by Klaus Wust. The original book is at the Library of Virginia, and I would love to see it, if it's not too fragile to handle. The family's record appears on page 7. One entry in particular intrigues me. The only sponsor for the baptism of Jacob and Catharine's first child, Rosina, born 20 January 1877, was a woman named Catharina Fuchs. Who was this Catharina? Could she have been the mother, aunt, or cousin of the Catharine Fuchsin who married Jacob Rausch? (Note: Catharine's name is also spelled Catharina in German records, including the baptism registry.) I think there's a strong probability of a relationship between the two women of the same name, but I don't know its exact nature.
The Old Pine Church registry also contains an entry for the baptism of Johannes Fuchs, son of Adam Fuchs and his wife Elisabeth, born 19 February 1784. Could this Adam Fuchs be the brother of Catharine (Fuchs) Roush? The surname is uncommon enough to make me suspect so, but as yet I have no proof.
The final clue I've found to Catharine's birth family comes from the last known record that she and Jacob created in Shenandoah County. After both of Jacob's parents died, they moved west and bought land in what is now Mason County, West Virginia, and Gallia County, Ohio. They sold their remaining Shenandoah County land on 9 September 1799 to Peter Fox. Catharine made a mark (X) instead of signing her name. Who was Peter Fox, and might he also have been Catharine's brother?
Catharine (Fox) Roush is buried in Roush Cemetery in Cheshire, Gallia County, Ohio. Her date of death is a mystery. I think she may have died relatively early in their residence there, because she did not sign the customary dower release when Jacob sold land in October 1809, or any time thereafter. Jacob wrote a detailed will in January 1827, and Catharine is not mentioned in it.
So where does this leave me? Well, first I need to develop a research focus for Catharine. I'm considering this: "How was Catharine Fox, who married Jacob Roush in February 1775, associated with fellow Shenandoah County residents Catharina Fuchs/Fox, Adam Fuchs/Fox, and Peter Fox?" Then I want to take a good look at the Library of Virginia's online catalog and determine which resources I want to see next week. And I'd better get cracking—it's coming up fast!

As Nepal has been passing through a transition with prolonging political uncertainty in its efforts at making an inclusive constitution, late Nelson Mandela's contribution to transform South Africa from the era of apartheid to a democratic and liberal society will be a good lesson to remember.
After his death, Nepalese leaders have expressed their faith on the model propounded by late Mandela to make Nepal an inclusive, liberal, democratic state. However, the commitment is yet to be translated into action. Political leaders are divided among themselves and they are yet to learn any serious lesson and take the meaning of reconciliation to heart.
"We need to learn from late Mandela. South Africa survived and escaped violence because of his strong commitment to national reconciliation," said Nepali Congress leader Sunil Kumar Bhandari. "Our leader B.P. Koirala also died calling on all to work for the cause of reconciliation. It is not easy to champion reconciliation, there are many difficulties on its path."
Contrary to Mandela's work, Nepalese political leaders stand on their hatred and confrontation campaign. There is no room for accommodation to all the political forces. Mandela had shown how the society reconciled when he invited Pter Botha, a white leader who put him in the prison, as his vice president.
Giving high importance to the contribution Mandela had made, Nepal government has sent foreign minister Madhav Prasad Ghimire to take part in the commemoration of the late leader of South Africa. Former South African president, Mandela, died at the age of 95 last week. The memorial service was one of the biggest gatherings of international dignitaries in the recent years.
Hundreds of people assemble outside the stadium during the night, the BBC's Joe Winter reported from the scene. Crowds, many wearing Nelson Mandela t-shirts and South African football and rugby tops, were singing songs from the time of the fight against apartheid.

A. Field of the Invention
The subject invention relates generally to devices for monitoring deflection of a diaphragm and more specifically to deflection detection devices using fiber-optic apparatus.
B. Description of the Prior Art
Increasing attention has recently been devoted to the development of remote, fiber-optic, sensing methods because of the advantages that fiber-optic sensors can offer over conventional sensors. The small size of these sensors, their immunity to electromagnetic interference, and their complete electrical isolation make fiber-optic sensing an attractive alternative in hazardous or explosive environments, in high-temperature or high-electromagnetic field environments, and for in vivo medical applications. Discussions of such applications may be found in the following papers: J. Hecht, "Fiber Optics Turns to Sensing," High Tech. 2 (4), 49; and T. G. Giallorenzi, et al., "Optical Fiber Sensor Technology," IEEE J. Quantum Electron., QE-18, 626.
Diaphragms are one of the most common instruments for measuring pressure. Most of the optical methods developed to date for the measurement of diaphragm deflection have relied on the variation in optical intensity due to diaphragm displacement. In particular, fiber-optic sensors have been developed which utilize the variation in light reflected off of the center of the diaphragm, the motion of vanes or shutters attached to the diaphragm, and the variation of the transmission of an optical fiber compressed by the diaphragm. See, for example: R. O. Cook, et al., "Fiber Optic Lever Displacement Transducer," Appl. Opt. 18, 3230 (1979); "Optical Zero-Differential Pressure Switch and its Evaluation in a Multiple-Pressure Measuring System," NASA Technical Memorandum, NASA TM X-3571; T. A. Scott, "Non-contacting Optical Sensor," Conference Proceedings, General Sensor Technology/Force and Pressure Sensors, Chicago, Ill., (June 8-10, 1982) p. 79; W. B. Spillman, Jr., et al., "Schlieren Multimode Fiber-Optic Hydrophone," Appl. Phys. Lett. 37, 145 (1980); J. N. Fields, et al., "Fiber-Optic Pressure Sensor," J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 67, 816 (1980); and J. N. Fields, et al., "Fiber Microbend Acoustic Sensor," Appl. Opt. 19, 3265 (1980).
The primary disadvantage of these types of optical pressure sensors lies in their inherent environmental sensitivity. Because these devices measure absolute intensity, the output signal will be affected by intensity losses due to source intensity fluctuations and fiber microbend losses. Furthermore, pressure sensing schemes that measure the distance to the diaphragm, such as vane sensors and conventional reflectance sensors, will be strongly affected by changes in this distance due to environmental effects such as vibration and thermal expansion.
In addition to the use of diaphragms to measure pressure, diaphragms may also be used to measure temperature. When a diaphragm is used to measure temperature, it is envisioned that the diaphragm is made of a material that will respond by deflecting in response to a temperature. For instance, a bimetallic material may be used for the diaphragm. The subject invention comprehends that such a metallic diaphragm may be used in the present invention with the optical fiber system discussed hereinbelow.
To minimize the environmental sensitivity problems discussed above, a pressure transducer which relies on diaphragm curvature rather than diaphragm displacement has been designed. In this design, the light is brought to the diaphragm surface by a circle of fibers such that the light impinges on the diaphragm at a radial distance x from the diaphragm center. The light reflected from the diaphragm is then distributed among collection fibers arranged concentrically with the illumination fibers, both inside and outside of the illuminating fibers (see FIG. 1a). The inner group of fibers constitutes a first plurality of optical fibers, the illumination fibers constitute a second plurality of optical fibers, and the collection fibers outside the illumination fibers represent a third plurality of optical fibers. The diaphragm deflection is then derived from the ratio of the light received by the outside collection fibers to that from the inside collection fibers. Because of this procedure of using ratios, this sensing technique automatically compensates for variation in the source intensity, for losses in the input fibers, and for variations in the reflectivity of the diaphragm surface. Furthermore, since the pressure determination depends on the diaphragm curvature instead of the distance between the fibers and the diaphragm, this technique is immune to both temperature and vibration effects which cause a displacement of the fiber bundle relative to the diaphragm. Finally, such a system is easy to calibrate since it can be made to operate in a linear fashion.
It is an object of one embodiment of the subject invention to provide a deflection detection device having a dynamic range of .+-.100 psi.
It is another object of one embodiment of the subject invention to provide a device which has a linear response with less than a 0.25% error over the entire range to be monitored.
It is yet another object of one embodiment of the subject invention to provide a highly sensitive device with a minimal detectable pressure of less than 1.times.10.sup.-3 psi.
It is yet another object of one embodiment of the subject invention to provide a device having overpressure protection to 300 psi.
Still yet another object of the subject invention is to provide a device having a reasonable ratio of diaphragm radius to thickness.
Yet another object of the subject invention is to provide a device having relatively simple electronics.
Another object of the subject invention is to provide a device having an output voltage directly proportional to changes in pressure.
Another object of the subject invention is to provide a relatively small device capable of being used for in vivo medical applications.
Still yet another object of the subject invention is to provide a relatively rugged device having few moving parts.
Still yet another object of one embodiment of the subject invention is to provide a device that is simple to fabricate which includes a single-fiber bundle consisting of three separate parts in a concentrical arrangement.
Still yet another object of the subject invention is to provide a device having zero set and calibration procedures which are easily adjusted in the electronics circuitry.
Another object of the subject invention is to provide a device which is insensitive to fluctuations in source intensity and losses in the input fiber.
Another objective of the subject invention is to provide a device which is relatively inexpensive.
And finally, it is an object of the subject invention to provide a device having a large degree of immunity to vibration and temperature variations.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 illustrate side views of the subject sensing device in operation. When the pressure differential across the diaphragm 12 is zero (FIG. 3), the diaphragm will be flat and an equal amount of light 14, 16 will be reflected to inside 18 and outside 20 collection fibers. With positive pressure (FIG. 2), the diaphragm 21 will be convex with respect to the fibers, as illustrated, and more light 22 will be reflected to the outside collection fibers 24. Conversely, with negative pressure the diaphragm 26 will be concave (FIG. 4), and more light will be reflected to the inside fibers 28. Thus, the subject sensing technique will unequivocally sense both the magnitude and the sign (positive or negative) of the pressure.
A simplified analysis of the subject sensing technique can be made by considering one illumination fiber and two collection fibers, one inside and one outside. Because of cylindrical symmetry, the contribution from one such triplet of fibers is representative of the sum of contributions from all such triplets in an actual sensor. FIG. 5 shows such a triplet with the fiber ends 28, 29, 30 situated below a curved diaphragm. For simplicity in the analysis, any light recaptured by the input fiber 29 or cladding is neglected, and the deflection angle .theta. of the diaphragm is assumed constant over the illuminated region. The external rays OA and OB (FIG. 5), define the emittance aperture of the input fiber with core and cladding indices n.sub.1 and n.sub.2, respectively, as they are the rays which reflect at the critical angle (.theta..sub.c =sin.sup.-1 (n.sub.2 /n.sub.1)) inside of the fiber. The ray OC is such that it strikes the diaphragm 32 normally and returns back on itself. Thus, the rays that exit from the fiber between OA and OC will be reflected to the outside, and those rays between OC and OB will be reflected to the inside. If the analysis is limited to the plane of the paper, then I.sub.out will be proportional to the angle .alpha. and hence the dimension a, and I.sub.in will be proportional to the angle .beta. and thus the dimension b. Hence,
I.sub.out /I.sub.in =(aRI.sub.o)/(bRI.sub.o)=(r.sub.o +z)/(r.sub.o -z)Eq.(1)
I.sub.o the intensity of the light as it exits the illumination fiber;
R=reflectance of the diaphragm;
z=the distance from the center of the fiber to the point where the ray OC exits the fiber; and
r.sub.o =radius of the fiber.
If the diaphragm slope dy/dx is small, one can then use Snell's law to obtain: ##EQU1##
Since .theta..sub.c =sin.sup.-1 (n.sub.2 /n.sub.1), it is seen from Equation 2 that the ratio of the signal intensities I.sub.out /I.sub.in depends only on the index of refraction of the core and cladding of the illumination fiber and on the slope of the diaphragm. I.sub.out /I.sub.in is independent of the fiber radius, the distance to the diaphragm, the reflectance of the diaphragm, and the intensity of the light as it exits the illumination fiber, and hence is quite insensitive to environmental pertubations.
The pressure dependence of the diaphragm deflection y for a uniformly loaded, edge-clamped, circular diaphragm is given as:
y(x)=-3(r.sup.2 -x.sup.2).sup.2 (1-.mu..sup.2)P/(16Yt.sup.3)Eq.(3)
according to R. J. Roark, et al., Formulas for Stress and Strain, Fifth Edition (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1975), where:
x=the radial distance from the diaphragm center;
r=the diaphragm radius;
t=the diaphragm thickness;
Y=Young's modulus for the diaphragm; and
.mu.=Poisson's ratio for the diaphragm.
One can then obtain dy/dx by differentiating Equation 3 with respect to x, so that Equation 2 becomes:
I.sub.out /I.sub.in =(1+AP)/(1-AP). Eq.(4)
where: A=a constant which depends on the properties of the diaphragm and the input fiber according to the relation ##EQU2##
One simple method of inverting Equation 4 is to take the logarithm of both sides and expand the logarithm in powers of (AP). To first order in (AP),
P=ln(I.sub.out /I.sub.in)/2A Eq.(6)
with a percent error of 33.3(AP).sup.2. Thus, if a diaphragm is chosen such that (AP).sup.2 is .ltoreq..ltoreq.1, then the pressure will be linearly related to the log of the ratio of I.sub.out to I.sub.in, which provides for very simple signal analysis.
There has recently been significant interest in developing rugged, miniaturized pressure transducers for in vivo medical applications. To test the pressure sensing technique outlined in the previous section, a miniaturized prototype reflectance sensor was constructed and tested. The diaphragm was designed such that the optimum sensor performance would be over the applicable medical pressure range of 0-5 psi. A standard 500 fiber bundle 34 of radius 0.8 millimeters was separated into an outside collection region 36 and inside collection region 38 by an illumination strip 40 as shown in FIG. 1. Each individual multimode fiber had a core diameter of 70 microns with index n.sub.1 =1.62, surrounded by a cladding of thickness 3.5 microns with index n.sub.2 =1.52. The radius x of the illumination ring was 402 microns. The fiber bundle was epoxied into a metal sleeve of 250 micron thickness to give a miniaturized sensor with an outside diameter of only 2.2 millimeters. A diaphragm of radius 1.1 millimeters was made of 127 micron thick polycarbonate which was epoxied and edge clamped onto the end of a transducer housing connected to a variable pressure source. The fiber bundle was then inserted into the transducer housing such that the axis of the bundle was perpendicular to the diaphragm and colinear with it. The illumination fibers were then irradiated with a white light source and the received intensities I.sub.out and I.sub.in were directed into photodetectors connected to electronics designed to implement the algorithm of Equation 6.
For averaging purposes, it is advantageous to position the polished fiber bundle at the maximum distance d from the diaphragm possible, subject to the constraint that d not be so large as to allow light to be reflected outside of the perimeter of the reception fibers. This maximum distance was found to be d=0.25 millimeters. The output signal, 1n(I.sub.out /I.sub.in), was then recorded as a function of gauge pressure P over the applicable medical pressure range. The results are shown in FIG. 6.
It can be seen from FIG. 6 that ln(I.sub.out /I.sub.in) does, in fact, vary linearly with pressure. When a linear, least-squares fit is performed on the data, the slope of this line is found to be 0.035 psi.sup.-1, which gives an experimentally measured value for A equal to A.sub.exp =0.0175 psi.sup.-1. The percent error in Equation 6 was predicted to be 33.3(AP).sup.2, which gives a maximum non-linearity of only 0.25%. This is in agreement with the excellent linearity of the data of FIG. 6, which had a correlation coefficient of 0.99995. If the relevant diaphragm parameters are substituted into Equation 5, the predicted value for A becomes 0.0157 psi.sup.-1 which compares very favorably with the experimentally measured value. The slight discrepancy between A.sub.theory and A.sub.exp is due to the thickness of the illuminating ring of fibers. While the simple theoretical analysis given above assumes that all of the reflected light contributes to I.sub.in or I.sub.out, in fact a significant portion of the light is reflected back onto the illumination ring. This results in a slight increase in the sensitivity of the device. The present invention comprehends that the relationship between the light intensity (I) captured by the inner and outer bundle of optical fibers may be defined as (I.sub.3 -I.sub.1)/(I.sub.3 +I.sub.1). It has been determined that this relationship is a linear function with respect to variation in deflection of the diaphrahm.
Although the subject development has been described in detail for a fiber optic bundle, it is comprehended that the subject invention includes other embodiments. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, it may be possible to greatly simplify the subject invention by using only three optical fibers 50, 51, and 52 in a close relationship with a diaphragm 54. In this embodiment, fiber 51 acts as an input fiber while fiber 52 acts as an outside collection fiber and fiber 50 acts as an inside collection fiber as the diaphragm is deflected in response to changes in pressure. In another embodiment of the subject invention illustrated in FIG. 8, six optical fibers are used to detect pressure. In this embodiment, fibers 56 act as inside collector fibers, fibers 58 and 64 act as input fibers and fibers 60 and 64 act as outside collection fibers with respect to diaphragm 66. This embodiment further comprehends that centrally located fibers 68 illustrated in phantom may be provided to spade each group of sensing fibers on opposite sides of diaphragm 66. In this embodiment, the centrally located fibers 68 would either not be used or not be present. An advantage of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8 over the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7 is that by spacing sensing fibers on opposite sides of the diaphragm, it is possible to use symmetrical averaging techniques which may increase the reliability of the detector. In still yet another embodiment of the subject invention as illustrated in FIG. 9, an entire diaphragm 70 may be monitored with optical fibers. As illustrated in this embodiment, the optical fibers are packed into three symmetrical configurations. The center circular configuration 72 represents optical fibers acting in a collection capacity. The middle section of circular fiber 74 operate in a capacity of input fibers and the outer circular section of fibers 76 operate in an outer collection mode. In still yet another embodiment of the subject invention, it is comprehended that a flexible diaphragm 78 may be used which is not circular. This embodiment is illustrated with a rectangular diaphragm in FIG. 10. Similarly to the circular diagrams discussed above, input fibers 80 and 82 are spaced between outside collection fibers 84 and 81 and inside collection fibers 88 and 90. As the rectangular diaphragm 78 is flexed, light is captured by the inside and outside collection fibers in a similar manner to the other embodiments discussed above.
Although the present invention has been discussed with respect to a diaphragm which deflects in response to changes in pressure, it is possible to use a diaphragm which deflects in response to other conditions. For example, the present invention also comprehends that the diaphragm may deflect in response to changes in temperature. In one embodiment, the invention may be used as a temperature sensing device wherein the diaphragm is made of a bimatellic material. For instance, the diaphragm may be in the form of a bimetallic strip.
In summary, a novel optical method for sensing pressure has been developed and demonstrated utilizing diaphragm curvature instead of diaphragm displacement. The prototype pressure sensor described herein retains the small size and immunity to electromagnetic interference characteristic of fiber optic sensing techniques. And, while no diaphragm deflection measurement technique can eliminate those environmental effects which emulate pressure fluctuations, this technique does eliminate those adverse effects due to vibration and temperature which cause motion of the fiber bundle relative to the diaphragm. Also, since the dependence of the output signal on source intensity is divided out after the diaphragm, this optical sensing technique automatically compensates for variations in the source intensity, for losses in the input fibers, and for changes in the reflectivity of the diaphragm. Furthermore, if the environment of the return fibers is approximately homogeneous, much of the noise associated with fiber microbend losses will be cancelled. Finally, the device can be made to operate in a linear fashion.
Although the size and pressure range of the prototype pressure transducer described herein was engineered for in vivo medical applications, this sensing technique has more general applicability. The sensitivity and optimum pressure range of this type of sensor depends on the constant A given by Equation 5, which can be easily varied by changing the diaphragm material or thickness. For example, a much larger sensor designed to operate in the 0-60 psi regime has been fabricated, using a 12 mil.-thick silicon diaphragm with a 10.4 millimeter diameter. This sensor also had a linear pressure response, with a correlation coefficient of 0.99987 in the 0-60 psi range.
This pressure sensing technique thus has potential applicability in a variety of military and commercial applications where small size and environmental insensitivity are desired.
Although the invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example, and is not to be taken by way of limitation; the spirit and scope of this invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.

However, the experience wasn't entirely negative. It taught her something valuable, and that is to live life to the fullest. The accident gave her to what is now her bread and butter, JOGA.
TV personality, yoga instructor, and speaker Jana Webb's net worth is an estimate $1 million. She is a mother of 1 and is in a happy relationship. When RHOT ended she got a job in the Dominican Republic, where she once again got involved in a car accident which left her with a post-traumatic brain injury.
Joan Kelley Net Worth
Joan Kelley Walker is a reality star with a heart of gold. Despite Joan Kelley Walker's net worth of $2 Million, she remains grounded. Perhaps her kindness to the less fortunate is the product of the parenting style her parents used in raising her which was centered on kindness and the value of giving back.
This television personality is a well-known humanitarian, an ambassador for World Vision Canada. Long before her fame, she was already volunteering in charity works locally and abroad. In fact, she met her husband Donald J. Walker while volunteering in Rwanda.
Joan Kelley's philanthropic works continues to change the lives of many children and women from developing nations. Even up until know, she is still working alongside World Vision to make her advocacy, a reality.
Ann Kaplan Net Worth
Ann Kaplan redefined the term 'housewife' as used in The Real Housewives franchise. She is a self-made millionaire, and , as such, Ann Kaplan's net worth is around $1 Million. This reality is like a supermom, a well-respected woman in a world dominated by men. She works like magic, turning start-up companies into a multi-million dollar enterprise in just a span of 3 years.
This reality star holds a lot of degree titles, proof that despite her success in business, she still seeks improvement. Perhaps, this is the attitude that many of us should copy from her. She is also a recipient of various awards and recognitions.
Aside from being a prominent figure in the business world, Ann Kaplan is also a prominent figure at home. She is married to Dr. Stephen Mulholland, a plastic surgeon. Together they have two children. However, she is the mother figure to eight. Both her and her husband were married before and they each had 2 kids, upon marriage their families merged.

What happened to the Real Housewives of Toronto?
The first season of "The Real Housewives of Toronto" aired on Slice and was supposed to be a'reality' show, but after the season premiere, things went downhill. Ann and Stephen Mulholland invite a group of interesting women to a 'procedure party,' and they share their awkward history with some of the women. However, the 'procedure party' – dubbed the 'Joan Dock Party' – ended up being one of the most famous reality TV programs ever, and the cast of the show is still waiting for its debut.
The Real Housewives of Toronto are currently on hiatus. Jana Webb hasn't been filmed since June and the cast has been keeping the scandal quiet, but she's been on the internet since then. She posted a photo of herself on a Zoom call with her former co-stars, and has even teased a new project with them. While the season finale is still months away, fans can tune into the show every Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Slice.
In the show's final episode, 'The Real Housewives of Toronto' ends abruptly, and viewers were left wondering: What happened to the show? Well, the cast is back and ready to continue the drama on Slice. And while fans were left hanging, the cast of the rebooted series is on hiatus again. Despite the controversy, the cast and crew are determined to stay together. In an interview with Toronto Life, Gregoriane addressed the accusations that she purchased Instagram likes and revealed that she wouldn't turn down a second season of the show.


A signature brew of camaraderie, knockabout humor, excessive quaffing, questionable life choices, hand-to-hand combat, and explosive surprises, The World's End reteams director Edgar Wright with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, following their hits Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007).
The tale of The World's End begins on June 22nd, 1990. In their suburban U.K. town of Newton Haven, five boys in the prime of their teenage youth celebrate the end of school by attempting an epic pub crawl together. Despite their enthusiasm and the downing of a slew of pints of beer, they fall short of seeing their quest through, to the last pub on their list, The World's End.
Twenty-odd years later, "the five musketeers" have each left their hometown and are now husbands, fathers, men with careers – with the flashing-red-light exception of their voluble onetime ringleader, Gary King (Simon Pegg), who is now a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens. The irrepressible Gary, keenly aware of his estrangement from his onetime closest friend Andy (Nick Frost), becomes hellbent on trying "The Golden Mile" drinking marathon again. He convinces Andy, Steven (Paddy Considine), Oliver (Martin Freeman), and Peter (Eddie Marsan) to stage an encore, and one Friday afternoon they are all reunited. Gary is in his element: the mandate is one night, five guys, twelve pubs – imbibing at least one pint apiece at each establishment. Arriving in Newton Haven, they re-encounter Oliver's sister Sam (Rosamund Pike), for whom Gary and Steven each still carry a torch.

Staying in the house, all snug and warm, watching classic movies and enjoying freshly baked cookies while a summer storm rages outside might be one of your favorite ways to while away a lazy afternoon. But what about when lightning accompanies the rain? Things can get dangerous fast. In fact, nearly 60 people are killed by lightning each year in the U.S. And in the Sunshine State last year, five people lost their lives due to lightning-related reasons. And although direct hits from lightning are rare, according to industry experts, lightning strikes amounted to almost $800 million in damage claims for nearly 200,000 homes in one year alone. Fortunately, standard homeowners insurance in Florida covers damage from lightning (including fire), and some policies also cover damage from electrical power surges caused by lightning.
Talk about the power of Mother Nature–a lightning bolt can produce temperatures of 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's enough to fry just about anything in your house. A bolt can enter through any kind of wiring (e.g., cable TV, electric lines or phone lines) to electronic and other delicate equipment, even set your home on fire, unless you have a lightning-protection system in place. Many are surprised to hear that lightning can also travel through plumbing pipes and water, including water in a bathtub or coming out of a shower head.
Crack of thunder, bolt of lightning—then fire!
That's what happened at the Millers' Miami homestead last month, when a bolt of lightning streaked through the roof of their two-story home and ignited a huge collection of Christmas décor stored in the attic. Quick action from the fire department saved the house, but a significant amount of damage was done by the fire as well as the smoke and water. Fortunately, the Millers were protected by a homeowners insurance in Florida policy that covered the bulk of the costs to repair their home. Talk to an agent today to learn about how this important policy can offer shelter from the storm.
