Integrating Controllers
by Kristin Lewotsky, Contributing Editor
Motion Control & Motor Association Posted 08/01/2007
Today's controllers are moving from the electronics cabinet to be integrated into the drive or even the base of the robot.
It takes brains to rule brawn, whether in a biological system or in a motion control cell. Controllers are the brains of motion control. Back in the day, each axis of a system had its own servo amplifier. The motions of each axis were coordinated by a controller, which typically resided in a separate cabinet. No more. These days, the trend is toward pushing intelligence out into the system. Controllers are not just distributed, but integrated into the driver or into the robots themselves. Meanwhile, other products help integrate the separate control layers into a single unit.
"I think more and more intelligence is being put inside the drive or as near the drive as it can be," says Sue Dorscheid, product line manager for Danaher Motion (Rockford, Illinois - www.danahermotion.com). "The drives in general are getting smarter in terms of the algorithms that are implemented inside them. There's more processing power in the drive to control the motor, so you may as well use that power to do other things."
Enter the new generation of controller products, which offers efficiencies of operation and savings in space. Factory floor space is always at a premium, and making room for control cabinets can be very expensive. Two decades ago, the control cabinets that housed the drives and controllers were the size of a washing machine. Advances in technology reduced them to the size of large microwaves, and then the size of a small breadbox. More than one breadbox, depending on your system architecture.
"You have to plan out a production cell in factory space," says Dave Pap Rocki, chief technology officer at Adept Technology Inc. (Livermore, California - www.adept.com). "A key aspect is just making allowances for the control cabinets and the peripheral equipment that is required to operate these production cells."
With the old controllers, a separate cable had to run from each controller to each axis, which made physical routing an issue. "The amount and size of the wiring became very intensive going out from the cabinets to the individual mechanisms," says Pap Rocki. "As the bundle size gets bigger, physically routing it becomes more and more of an adventure."
It's not just a matter of size. Electronic noise is also an issue. Circumventing this can require running two separate cabling races, one to segregate the noisy cables. This adds to cost, takes up space, and still you run the risk of compromising performance.
Integration provides an answer.
Routes to Integration
Danaher's approach to the issue of controller connections is to integrate the controller into the drive. Instead of being a separate box, the controller is repackaged onto a printed circuit board that can be installed in the servo amplifier itself. "Drives that have control capability have been around for many years," says Dorscheid, "but usually they're for a single axis, they're only for the one drive." The Danaher product can be daisy chained to other drives with Cat5 Ethernet cable to control up to 15 additional drives besides the one in which the control card resides.
The approach saves floor space, but it also offers other advantages as a result of its proximity to the drive, such as the ability to get real-time information like fault data. "You can change tuning parameters on the fly, you can change current limits, monitor average current and other things like that in real time while your process is running," she says. This data can be displayed on the human/machine interface or, with the addition of the digital networks that are becoming standard features on today's factory floors, sent to the central office.
The connectivity provided by the daisy-chain connection simplifies set up, Dorscheid notes. "Say you want to set up drives or change some of the tuning parameters as part of the machine commissioning process. You can connect just to that drive with the control in it and actually have access to the others. You can run an oscilloscope on them and do your tuning without having to move your cable around."
Integrating the Layers
Today's factory machines run through a complex ballet of motions and operations -- machining, motion control, and robotics. The traditional approach has been to have a separate programmable logic controller (PLC) run each operation. Now, the focus is on integrating the control of those layers. "There's been a trend in the industry over the last five years to introduce control platforms that are more sophisticated and more capable than what would be considered normal for a standard PLC," says John Browett, product marketing manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. (Vernon Hills, Illinois - www.meau.com).
Different control layers means separate cabinets full of electronics that cost money and take up floor space. In addition, there's the issue of making the system work as a whole. "In the past, maybe you'd have Company A's PLC, Company B's motion control, and Company C's robotics," says Browett. "The challenge was how do we make all this work together, what kind of structure do we need to build, what kind of software do we need to write to make them all talk to each other? There was a lot of time and effort spent on the engineering to glue all this together."
Mitsubishi offers a platform that can not only perform functions like ladder programming and sequences of operations, it can also control up to 96 axes and offers flexibility to run applications alongside industrial I/O. The product integrates computer numeric controlled (CNC) operations so that it can run machine tools and motion control and, eventually, robot control, as well.
"The functions are enabled by what CPU you have installed on the platform," says Browett. "You basically have the backplane and you add the function that you need, and each function is enabled by a different CPU. For example, if you need PLC capability then you add a PLC CPU, if you need motion control you add a motion control CPU, if you need CNC, then you add a CNC CPU. You build up the system you need to get what you want at the end."
--K.L.
Adept's solution to the space issue was to take the controllers from the cabinet and integrate them into the bases of their SCARA robots. "We embed a high-level controller that's actually doing the logic sequencing along with a kinematic solution," Pap Rocki says. "When you can embed the control closer and closer to the mechanism, you save substantial money in the cost of the floor space."
The Adept design uses a high-speed, time-synchronized bus to communicate between the different modules and reduce wiring. Like Danaher, the company found other advantages in locating the intelligence out in the system and having storage near the mechanism itself.
"There is a calibration procedure that you go through at the factory in which you characterize each specific module or robot," says Pap Rocki. "We found we could store the physical parameters in the controllers and that would be localized to the module itself or embedded so if a customer needed to swap out a module, [the replacement] would also contain the calibration constant." A subset of the control language embedded in the unit also allows user to program simple applications.
One challenge to integrating controllers is thermal management. "When you look at how fast you can make a mechanism move, for a certain cycle time, your limiting factor quite often is how hard you can drive it before the motor starts to melt," Pap Rocki says. "You get into extensive system balancing -- how much weight do I put out there? How much weight do I have to move? How efficient are my motors?"
There are many methods of thermal management, including fans, water cooling, thermo-electric coolers and even piezoelectric coolers. Ultimately, the path the Adept team took was the simplest. The robot casting was made of metal. By ensuring clear thermal conduction paths to the exterior of the casting, the team was able to easily dissipate heat.
Balancing for Performance
These designs don't mean that standalone controllers are a thing of the past. If there is any one truism in engineering, it is that there is no universal solution. Always, there are tradeoffs. Systems with very high axes counts, for instance, or those with stringent process-control requirements or high functionality -- tactile or force sensing, say -- might be best suited to a more traditional design, at least for the time being.
"Currently, we can take a subset of our control system and add it into the base. When we need to add conveyor tracking or integrated vision, we go back to a secondary box," says Pap Rocki. "This is kind of the next goal, can we get all that processing into the base of the robot? When does it make sense, now that some of that processing is getting to a level where it generates more heat than we can dissipate in that environment?"
Ultimately, it goes back to balancing. "Even if you could put your entire control capability down in the motor, you wouldn't want to run all your wires there. Part of the logistics and layout of a cell is for the flow of diagnostics and hookup and so forth. The question to ask is where does it make sense to take the wires?"
Applied judiciously, integrating controllers is an approach that offers benefits in a number of applications. As a result, it's a process that will be ongoing. "I do think that as we go on, more and more intelligence is going to migrate down to the drive," says Dorscheid. Clearly, it's a trend that's here to stay.

"The animal righs cause is our fuel"
Ary Ohayon, co founder Arsayo, created his sanctuary for the victims of the meat and the Fashion industries.
A sanctuary, what is it ? Quite simply, a place for animals who have survived traumatic and difficult experiences. In a sanctuary, unlike shelters, the animals live and stay until the end of their days so that they can live peacefully in a single place dedicated to their well-being.
It was this sensitivity and activism for the animal cause that prompted Ary to create his own sanctuary. It all started within the association The Save Movement, in Paris, whose actions he co-organized. The Save Movement is a pacifist organization, which campaigns in front of slaughterhouses to raise awareness, inform and give visibility to the reality of the victims of the meat industry.
During one of these actions, Ary met a couple of farmers, who had come to deposit a herd of lambs. "The activism is not against people, but against an unjust system." underlines Ary Ohayon. People who raise animals choose this job out of love for the animals, but reality catches up with them with a tragic end at the slaughterhouse and endless debt. After some discussions with them, the farmers agreed to welcome Ary and the activists to their farm. Ary came to propose to save two of the lambs outside the slaughterhouse. In gratitude for this gesture, the farmers will be supported by Refarm'd *, an organization that helps in the conversion to an alternative and lucrative system. This very symbolic action between farmers and activists was filmed by an Australian couple, That Vegan Couple (Youtube) **. And that's how the sanctuary was born, in September 2019.
Today, it has nearly twenty surviving hens, four sheep, and three cats rescued from tough situations. And in 2020, a lamb was born within the sanctuary. He was named Espoir ("Hope" in French), as a symbol for the animal cause, but also because he had very little chances of surviving, his mother having arrived at the sanctuary very weak, with the consequences of abuse. But Espoir survived, and he's in great shape today !
Chew, our dear female sheep rescued in front of the slaughterhouse
Over there, the animals have large spaces. This allows the sheep to graze freely, and also have a place for their hay. Sheep require more care than other animals, such as quarterly stool checks for been dewormed or even spring shearing, as the current climate is very humid and hot for them. The hens, on the other hand, often arrive at the sanctuary in poor condition, because they come from industrial factory farms. They are therefore quarantined for the time of their recovery, before living a peaceful life with their fellows.
But Ary's plans for the sanctuary are still numerous! He wants to expand the land, to accommodate more survivors, as well as new facilities such as shelters or fences.
Ultimately, Arsayo would like to communicate about the sanctuary in order to give it visibility, and give the opportunity to people who wish to become aware of the animal cause. The sanctuary will also, in the near future, be open to visits to show the new life of the animals saved by associations like The Save Movement ***.
In order to be able to help the development of the sanctuary, it will itself become a non-profit organization, and will be able to collect external donations, thus allowing more miracles to join the family!

Kevin Smith skilfully changes direction with a splendid modern horror about a fanatical cult.
IF YOU'RE looking for Jay or Silent Bob to make one of their customary visits to a Kevin Smith film, you won't find them here. And probably good for them, for their toilet humour and easy-living ways would not appeal to murderous preacher Pastor Abin Cooper and his cult of Christian extremists. They'd be trussed up in clingfilm and dealt with in no time for their nefarious ways.
And that's pretty much what happens to Travis, Jared and Billy Ray, a group of teenagers who get drugged after meeting a woman they believed would bed the three of them simultaneously. Waking up in the Five Points Trinity Church of Pastor Cooper, they realise their end is nigh… As Pastor Cooper's murderous actions draw more attention, ATF Agent Joe Keenan (an excellent John Goodman) is tasked with closing the church down in a very final way, and much against his will. It's about then that the guns come out on all sides.
"Red State" is a modern day equivalent of "The Wicker Man", and unlike that film's dreadful US remake, Smith's take on victims of extreme religious sacrifice and wacko cults is rooted in a very believable situation, and comes complete with a pleasing nihilism that is tangible today. Add the dark and dubious actions of Goodman's government puppet masters, and Smith succeeds in blending commentary on both Church and State in an action-thriller context.
Smith shows he has the directorial chops to handle the action compared to his more usual dialogue-rich situation set-pieces. A visceral, visual flair in a number of scenes, especially when the captured teenagers try to escape, delivers thrillingly, and later too, with a lengthy shoot-out that never gets boring.
Michael Parks as Pastor Cooper is outstanding, while Melissa Leo is very unsettling as his devoted daughter.
A dark, nasty, and very enjoyable thriller, that eschews happy endings.

A year-round program for Youth & Scout Groups. Box City is a fun way for youth groups and scouts to learn about communities, why we live in them, and the interrelationships among citizens. It's a unique way to educate participants about city planning and participation in community using math, social studies and geography in a fun, highly interactive environment.
Geared toward 4th and 5th grade students, Box City provides a hands-on approach to community and an understanding of community development. The Facilitator will introduce Box City and discuss town planning and development, various aspects of community and interrelationships among citizens. Participants will select their town's time period (for example: 100 years ago or the present) and location (near a river, mountain, etc.). The group will brainstorm about the different town occupations with the assistance of the Facilitator and select which ones are best suited for their town. Participants will design their box to suit the function of the assigned occupation or business and place their buildings on their town map. They will discuss what they wish to name their town and make a final choice.
Participants will learn and discuss: how towns get started and grow, the role geography plays in the physical settings of towns, how people and businesses interrelate in a community, town planning and different types of town plans, the relevance of building placement within a town, the use of standard and non-standard units of measurement, and mapping.
This could be a hands-on way to extend what Explorers have learned in the Citizenship & Government badge. For more information, visit the Shawnee Town website.
Volunteer opportunities abound at Shawnee Town 1929! We need help with everything from living history program participants to people assisting with special events set-up. Volunteers not only help us fulfill our educational mission at the museum, but while doing so–gain a deep sense of satisfaction and self-fulfillment in the process.
1920s Living History Program: Shawnee Town is looking for qualified volunteers who can share their knowledge and passion for history with visitors of all ages! Volunteers are needed for living history programs (Time Traveler Saturdays), school programs, and general guided tours. Our volunteers are the key points of contact with museum visitors, and are responsible for educating our general public on what life was like in the 1920s. This position is responsible for telling the story of the people who lived and worked in 1920s Shawnee, its connection to the Midwest farm economy, and its relationship to Kansas City. The reconstructed town and farm at Shawnee Town are currently being developed, and interpretive programs are being built which bring these places to life. Interpreters can be involved with historic farming and domestic programs, working in a recreated "downtown" business, working with grades K – 8 school programs, and special event programs. The program will grow constantly during the next 5 – 10 years.
Historic Collections Assistants: Volunteers are needed to clean and treat historic artifacts in preparation for use in the living history program or exhibits, as well as enter data into our computerized artifact management system. We also need help with conducting research on artifacts, local historical people, families and businesses from the 1920's.
Artifact/Graphic Design work: We are currently replicating labels and creating new ones for our reproduced artifacts. Some of these artifacts number in the hundreds, as in the case of our grocery store and dry goods store. Graphic designers are needed to help us with each label replication and construction.
Stitch-in-Time Sewing Circle: Can you sew well and do you have an interest in historic clothing? Volunteers help sew early 20th century period clothing for museum's historical interpreters who recreate Shawnee farm and town life.
Speaker Series Host: The Speaker Series is the second Tuesday of the month, April through October; 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This is perfect for friendly, organized volunteers interested in history and education. Hosts help with setting up, welcoming guests, and clean-up during historical speaker series evenings when experts talk on historical subjects.

Grant Fisher has been one of the nation's outstanding young distance talents for several years – from his stunning performances at the 2013 World Youth Championships, to his domination of the prep cross-country scene his junior and senior years, and then to earning All-American honors 12 times at Stanford. Now Fisher, one of the newest members of the Nike Bowerman Track Club at 22, will join us at the Great American XC Festival Saturday, Oct. 5, to sign autographs and meet and greet athletes and fans.
Each year since Nike partnered with the NSAF for the GAXC Festival in 2016, it has brought in elite pro athletes to be part of the festivities – including Mary Cain, Courtney Frerichs, Craig Engels and Shelby Houlihan. The latter three, in fact, are all in Doha this week representing Team USA at the IAAF World Champs. Fisher has already twice represented his country in competition – he ran the 1500 at the 2014 World Juniors in Eugene – and will very likely contended for Olympic and World team berths in the years ahead.
Photo at right: Fisher (3rd from left, in front of Matt Centrowitz) during a race this summer (credit: Bowerman Track Club).
Fans still remember in 2013 when Fisher, then having just completed his sophomore year at Grand Blanc HS in Michigan, made the U.S. Youth team and then in his 1500 heat in Donetsk, Ukraine, stunned the track world by winning in 3:50.30 and making the final – ultimately taking 9th. Suddenly all prep distance fans knew who Fisher was and he didn't disappoint the following season in XC – winning the first of two Gatorade National XC Runner of the Year awards. In fact, he was unbeaten in both 2013 and 2014.
During his senior HS track season, he captured the NSAF's indoor mile title (meet record 4:03.54) and then became the 7th prep to break the 4:00 barrier in that event outdoors, clocking 3:59.38 at the Nike Festival of Miles. He won nine Michigan state titles and also ran PRs of 3:42.89 for 1500 and 8:43.57 for 2 Miles.
From Fall, 2015 through this past spring, Fisher enjoyed a stellar XC and track career at Stanford. As mentioned above, he earned a dozen All-American titles, including winning the 2017 NCAA Outdoor 5,000m with a ferocious kick in 14:35.60. The past few years he had a fierce rivalry with Wisconsin's Morgan McDonald and had four top-3 NCAA finishes over various distances.
Fisher ran PRs of 3:39.60 for 1,500m, 7:42.62 for 3,000m and 13:29.52 for 5,000m while at Stanford – and also captured four PAC-12 and MPSF titles for the Cardinal. Then, in his first 5,000m this past summer for the Bowerman TC and training under acclaimed coach Jerry Schumacher, he clocked a new PR of 13:29.03. We are thrilled to have Grant joining us at GAXC this year!
"I'm really thankful for all of the people who helped me get here," he told DyeStat.com in an July interview after joining Bowerman TC. "I'm really happy with where I am. To reflect back on being a little kid dreaming big, what it would be like to run and that be your job, run and be with your friends, that's the dream."

This movie could have been entitled, The Grudge. When loss and tragedy reunite a father and son who have been estranged for years, a deep family rift and secrets unleash a torrent of long-festering resentment and nastiness.
Robert Duval, as the judge, epitomizes a hard-hearted, proud old patriarch — gruff, ferociously principled and well respected.
Robert Downey, Jr., as his son, Hank, embodies the legacy of his father. A cold-hearted, amoral, formidable defense attorney whose glib and biting recriminations cut to the core, he longs for his father's approval and reconciliation.
When the judge is implicated in a fatal hit and run accident, he and Hank are forced to set aside their differences, despite the judge's distaste for Hank's unsavory approach to the law. Hank's volatile courtroom cross-examination of his father reveals the source of the rage and resentment towards the judge that had been festering and magnifying for years.
A tornado provides a background for a ferocious one-on-one confrontation between the estranged pair that unleashes years of anger, resentment, bitterness, regrets and pain. Neither knows how, or is willing, to make peace with the past. Both remain entrenched in their grudges. The judge blames Hank for an injury during an accident that cost his brother a promising baseball career. Hank resents the judge for sending him to jail when he was "going off the rails" as a young man.
Each man's unrelenting determination to be right solidifies the chasm that has kept them apart for years. The truth is, however, that the only verdict Hank really cares about is his father's approval. As the judge becomes defenseless against the ravages of cancer and old age, Hank decides to mend his relationship with his proud and ungrateful father, rather than to drive the wedge deeper. When Hank realizes that his father has advanced cancer, he shows uncharacteristic tenderness, patience and respect as he cares for him during his suffering and humiliation.
This is a very powerful example of a relationship that became estranged under the strain of unresolved conflict that festered and hardened over time. As in most families, children want to love, and be loved by, their parents. The need to connect and belong is a compelling motivator to reconcile. This is a moving tale of a deep and complicated split between two proud men that should not be missed.

Review: Anime 'Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn' recycles popular series
By Charles Solomon
Riko (voiced by Miyu Tomita and Brittany Lauda in the Japanese- and English-language versions, respectively) in the animated movie "Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn." (Fathom)
"Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn" is not a feature in the conventional sense, but the first eight episodes of the anime broadcast series "Made in Abyss" re-edited into a continuous narrative with newly added scenes. It screens March 20 in Japanese with English subtitles and March 25 in English.
Twelve-year-old Riko lives in a grimly Dickensian orphanage. To support the institution, the children are forced to excavate valuable artifacts at the rim of a gargantuan pit. While scrabbling for treasure, Riko is saved from a flying monster by an amnesiac humanoid robot, whom she names Reg.
A few months later, a letter arrives from Riko's mother, Lyza, a famous explorer-excavator who disappeared into the Abyss a decade earlier. Although the lower depths are reportedly too toxic to support human life, Riko sets off to find her mother, taking Reg with her. Everyone tells Reg — who in English sounds a bit like Linus in the "Peanuts" specials — that he must protect Riko. However, no one explains why he should risk his life for the impetuous, whiny heroine.
As they begin their descent, the pair encounters deadly creatures and bizarre plants. At times, "Made in Abyss" feels like a standard anime action-adventure, but the feature (and the series) suffers from an extremely nasty tone. At the orphanage, children are punished by being stripped, tied up and hung naked on cables, and people display a disquieting interest in Reg's genitals.
Deep in the Abyss, Riko and Reg meet Ozen, who says she'll prepare them for the dangers of the lower levels. Under the guise of instruction, she beats the children savagely. The filmmakers seem to be striving to create a tough-love teacher along the lines of Izumi Curtis, who taught (and clobbered) the Elric Brothers in "Fullmetal Alchemist." But Hideyuki Kurata's script confuses discipline with sadism, and the film sinks under the burden of this ugly sequence.
Directed by Masayuki Kojima, "Made in Abyss" stops, rather than ends, as Riko and Reg prepare to descend into the fifth level of the Abyss. A second feature, "Made in Abyss: Wandering Twilight," that incorporates the last five episodes of the series, has been announced.
'Made in Abyss: Journey's End'
In Japanese with English subtitles (March 20); in English (March 25)
Running time: 1 hour, 58 minutes
Playing: In limited release, 7 p.m. March 20 and 25

Posted in Europe, Google, Intellectual Monopoly, Microsoft, Patents at 8:50 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
"Every time you use Google, you're using a machine running the Linux kernel."
–Chris DiBona, Google
Google and Junk/Software Patents
A LOT OF PEOPLE think of Google as a Free software (or open source) company. It is almost nonsensical because Google is mostly a proprietary software company. Its main product is the distribution of services. Some of its recent big products, such as the Android platform and the Chrome browser, are claimed to be "open source", but there are some snags to that too.
Perhaps more troubling than Google's cloud-ifaction of Free software (exploiting a loophole that AGPL closes) is the fact that Google is filing for software patents without much regret or hesitation. Matt Asay mentioned this the other day.
Google has been a fairly benevolent steward of its intellectual property thus far, and let's hope that continues. But if Google has the opportunity to squash Microsoft's cloud efforts even as Microsoft seeks to head off threats from Google's forays into "desktop" applications, I'm not sure I'd be betting on benevolence.
Watch this video.
The gentleman who speaks for Google offers a rather poor answer. That's because he seems to describe patents as desired barriers and monetisation avenues, as opposed to something defensive. Others at Google might wish to claim that all those software patents they're obtaining (even in countries where these are not legal, with two recent examples in India) are needed for defence, but patent trolls are not deterred by it. In fact, the trolls keep getting their way. Here is some news about The Ariba case, which marks a victory for the notorious patent on electronic auctions.
The case in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas revolved around an Ariba patent covering key functions for electronic auctions and found infringement and a second patent also pertaining to electronic auctions.
Is this the type of world Google envisions? A world where every trivial idea (usually unoriginal) is assigned ownership? Google is already exploiting a lot of knowledge that was shared and built upon.
The Bilski ruling was wonderful news and we've put the full text right here. As expected, there are heaps of coverage about this — coverage which we ought to include here for future reference. Here's the Wall Street Journal.
In a closely watched case, a federal appeals court in Washington D.C., today made it much harder for companies and individuals to get patent protection on abstract processes developed for businesses, such as tax strategies and investment methods.
BusinessWeek outlined the story with some concise background.
The business strategy at issue in Bilski was developed by two individual inventors, Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw. But the case drew interest and court filings from dozens of large corporations. Some, like IBM Corp., argued for tightened standards that would sharply limit what IBM in-house patent counsel David Kappos described as "runaway issuance of nontechnological process patents." Others, such as technology services and consulting giant Accenture, defended patents stemming from such areas as financial services and organizational behavior as central to innovation in a 21st century economy.
The effect on software patents was mentioned in Reuters.
A U.S. patent appeals court ruled on Thursday that business methods, such as Amazon.com Inc's one-click to buy goods on the Internet, cannot be patented.
The case was closely watched by software makers, Internet companies, investment houses and other businesses.
Patently-O wrote:
For software and business methods, the question will remain as to whether a general purpose computer is sufficiently particular to qualify as a "particular machine." "We leave to future cases the elaboration of the precise contours of machine implementation, as well as the answers to particular questions, such as whether or when recitation of a computer suffices to tie a process claim to a particular machine." As Professor Duffy noted in an earlier Patently-O article, the PTO Board of Patent Appeals (BPAI) has already answered this question: "A general purpose computer is not a particular machine, and thus innovative software processes are unpatentable if they are tied only to a general purpose computer." See Ex parte Langemyr (May 28, 2008) and Ex parte Wasynczuk (June 2, 2008). More commonly, the claim may tie the software to computer memory or a processor – is that sufficiently particular? I suspect this fact pattern will arise shortly.

Reduction of patenting scope is possible in Europe as well, but it may take some time before answers arrive.
The ongoing row related to software patenting has finally reached the European Patent Office (EPO) Enlarged body of Appeal which incidentally is the highest appeals body in the EPO.
An statement issued by the EPO explained the move by mentioning "It is hoped that the answers to these questions will lead to greater clarity concerning the limits of patentability, thereby facilitating application of the EPC by patent examiners and enabling both applicants and the wider public to understand the law regarding the patentability of programs for computers"

The staff of the EPO will certainlu like such issues to be resolved. Their complaint was that focus on quality patents was lost. █
"Staff at the European Patent Office went on strike accusing the organization of corruption: specifically, stretching the standards for patents in order to make more money."
"One of the ways that the EPO has done this is by issuing software patents in defiance of the treaty that set it up."

History of Carasi, Ilocos Norte, Philippines
Carasi is bounded on the south by Solsona; on the north of Vintar; on the west by Piddig; and on the east by the Cordillera Mountains separating the Provinces of Ilocos Norte from the Provinces of Kalinga and Apayao. The town is hilly and sometimes barren during the dry season. It has a land area of 157.38 square kilometers, with a population of 750in 1995.
The name Carasi is derived from the word Carosikis, a tree of exuberant growth later called Carasi. The site is near a forest which made people believed that the Itnegs were the first lowlanders to settle, staying as late as 1902.
Carasi was a formerly a sitio of Sta. Maria, Piddig, Ilocos Norte. It became a municipal district in 1903 under Piddig, which was then completely occupied by the Itneg tribes. In 1913, Juan Melad Infiel was appointed alcalde of Carasi. With foresight that Parparia (now Barbaqueza) would become a good ground for settlement, Melad encouraged his tribements to settle in the place. Some stayed in Parparia while the others went to Carasi. In 1923, when Carasi was already a municipal district of Piddig, it was designated as the Non-Christian Reservation in Nagpapalcan. It was proclaimed the following year a a Cultural Minority Resevation.
In 1939, Juan Cawada was appointed alcalde of the town. He led the townspeople in the ambuscade against the Japanese in Pan-panniqui. He served as alcalde until the end of the war. He run unopposed in the local election in 1946. He was succeded by Gerardo Aguibay who pioneered a tax declaration campaigne and subdivided the district into small political units creating Barbaqueza, Virbira and Angset.
The election of 1959 brought more progress and development to the town under its longest serving mayor, Cecilio S. Bulil-lit. He was responsible for the issueance of a Presidential Decree declaring Carasi as a regular town on May 16, 1983.
The inhibitants of Carasi raise rice, corn and vegetables which are the town's main products. Secondary products include rattan, lumber, firewood and gogo bark. The Pan-panniqui and Cora Rivers are potential tourist spots.

Elected Government Officials of Carasi, Ilocos Norte, Philippines
The Sangguniang Panlungsod is composed of the City (Municipality) Vice-Mayor as Presiding Officer, regular Sanggunian members (Councilors), the President of the Association of Barangay Captains and the President of the Sangguniang Kabataan.
They shall exercise and perform the legislative powers and duties as provided for under Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991. Shall consider and conduct thorough study all matters brought to their attention and consequently pass resolutions, enact ordinances and to introduce recommendations.
Budget of Municipalities and Cities: The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. It has been decentralized since 1991. It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!".
Absolutely NO need for FEDERALISM. It is a ploy to give the Bangsamoro an Islamic State and finance the religion of Islam. It violates the constitution's "separation of church and state". We need a representation of a MINIMUM of one SENATOR per REGION..
Contrary to Pres. Duterte's ranting (July 2019): Elected public officials can't be suspended by the DILG or the office of the president. Republic Act 7160 chapter 4.

Q: Convert the dataype of VALUES in Maps Go language I have a map in GO as :
var userinputmap = make(map[string]string)

and the values in it are of type :
[ABCD:30 EFGH:50 PORS:60]

Not that the 30,50,60 are strings over here.
I wish to have a same map but the numeric values should have float64 type instead of string type.
Desired output :
var output = make(map[string]float64)

I tried to do it but I get an error : cannot use <placeholder_name> (type string) as type float64 in assignment

A: You cannot do this by simple typecasting; the two maps have different representations in memory.
To solve this, you will have to iterate over every entry of the first map, convert the string representation of the float to a float64, then store the new value in the other map:
import "strconv"

var output = make(map[string]float64)
for key, value := range userinputmap {
    if converted, err := strconv.ParseFloat(value, 64); err == nil {
        output[key] = converted
    }
}

Following its creation of Magic Gold, the Swiss watchmaker has developed another new material in a vibrant ceramic.
It took Hublot 2 years of research and development to create Magic Gold, the world's only scratchproof gold, which has its own signature bronze-like hue. Now, after 4 years, the Swiss watchmaker has unveiled another new patented material—a bright and densely colored ceramic. The Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Magic, limited to just 500 pieces, will be available in other colors in the future. The material was first debuted in Hublot's Ferrari Unico Carbon Red Ceramic, where it was featured on the bezel, but the new Unico Red Magic marks the first time the brand has used the polished ceramic on the main case of a watch.
Achieved through a sintering process that combines pressure and heat without burning the pigments, the result is a bright, in-your-face red. "Big Bang" is more than a collection name; it's also an accurate descriptor of Hublot's personality and approach to watchmaking. Big and bold is Hublot's modus operandi—it's that aesthetic that draws in big names like the Miami Heat's Dwayne Wade, the New York Giants' Eli Manning, and boxer Floyd Mayweather as brand ambassadors. But this timepiece is about more than showing off. Aside from its attention-grabbing finish, the material, like its Magic Gold invention, is both innovative and highly durable. The process of creating the ceramic produces an exceptionally dense material with a hardness of 1,500 HVI (a standard measurement in the Vickers hardness test) as compared to 1,200 HVI typical in most ceramics.
The Big Bang Unico Red Magic is 45 mm in diameter with a 15.45 mm case and features a skeletonized dial with a black-and-red-lined rubber strap and a 72-hour power reserve. The flange, indices, minute and second counters, and Arabic numerals all match the case's red ceramic, and the timepiece features the Unico HUB124 flyback chronograph movement with a column wheel visible through the dial. Retailing for $26,200, the Red Magic timepiece will be available in May.

Autotask is an efficient and powerful solution for file syncing and sharing at an enterprise level. It is designed to support enhanced security and flexibility for small, medium or large businesses. With Autotask, companies will be able to stay in control of their data, while keeping it secure and accessible whenever needed. Autotask Workplace supports collaboration, making it also a suitable option to maintain productivity. It integrates advanced security features like Mobile Document management and device security. Admins have the power to add or remove users, ensuring that the company's data is kept secure and controlled, even if an employee leaves or a device is lost or stolen. In this review, we'll find out more about this service.
Why should companies consider Autotask Workplace?
Consumer solutions don't provide the level of support that a service like Autotask can offer. Established in 2001, Autotask Workplace is ideal for business with over 5 employees and smaller business that need support for heavy media files. The service adapts to a company's needs and it makes adding and removing permissions simple. It offers crucial features for companies including high security, access to data on the go and file sharing capabilities.
Security is one of the most important aspects of data management, specially for companies as leaving critical files unprotected could result in losses and devastating consequences for the business. Companies's files face different threats including theft, hackers, data loss and insecure access to data. While it is important to ensure that the information is available when needed, security is essential to avoid any of these threats.
Autotask understands that businesses need to share data externally. This is why it offers strong security, but also the possibility of sharing information in a simple and safe way. You can send documentation to potential clients, contracts and other information without putting the data at risk. It is also possible to access documents from outside the company's network, while keeping a high level of security. VPN or FTP for remote access are supported.
Ensuring that data is secure and that it remains private is one of the strongest points for Autotask. The company offers state of the art data centers (in the United States, Canada and Europe) that are in compliance with local legislation. They also provide a good set of security features including 2-factor authentication, role based access control per user based on content or device and individual device approval and removal. Autotask also takes into consideration the importance of being able to access data on the go, which is why it supports integrated mobility.
There is support for major platforms such as Android, iOS and Windows. You can get offline access to the data get detailed control over the information that is synced and the users who can access the shared folders. If a company's laptop containing important files goes missing or is stolen, admins can delete all the data with the help of the remote wipe feature. This will ensure that confidential files and folders are not accessed by third parties. Additionally, Autotask offers cloud backup integration with real-time backups that allow users to add data from their devices to the backup jobs.
There is also mobile document editing thanks to the integration with Google Docs and Office 365, offering the possibility of editing documents from any device. You can lock files while they are being edited online to avoid confusion between different copies. The file syncing features work in a similar way to consumer cloud storage services. When the software is running on the target computer, mobile device or server, a folder is set up and it becomes the main point for syncing data. All the data in that folder is transferred to Autotask's cloud, ensuring that they can be distributed to different users and other devices associated to the service.
With Autotask, you can sync an unlimited amount of files and there are no restrictions on their size. New projects can be synced automatically to personal devices, but you can also adjust settings so that Autotask asks you before completing any action or sync all the data manually. If you have a lot of files that need to be synced, you can use a feature called LAN sync, which ensures that files are synced quickly across devices in the same network. Of course, Autotask also supports File sharing, a function that is essential for companies.
Finding an effective, practical way to share files can be difficult but Autotask is set to make things simple when it comes to distributing data. You will be able to send large files to clients or ensure that large projects and files are updated correctly. Files can be shared in two main ways: creating a public file or setting up a private share room. The public link can be created from the web interface or from a mobile app. The Private Share Room is another practical option that will allow you to share files or folders with members of the team that have access to Autotask Workplace.
Collaboration is another key part of Autotask Workplace since it is what enables companies to keep on top of productivity. Users can work on the same project thanks to the sharing option. It is possible to share a project via desktop, giving access to the folder using the web interface. Admins have strong control over a shared folder and they can manage effectively access to that data that it contains. Admins can grant full access to team members or they can set limited permissions such as create and modify or read only. Autotask also offers cloud backup and reporting and auditing options.
Autotask Workplace is an effective solution for companies that want to improve the way in which they manage their data. It gives administrators a lot of power to manage access and permissions to edit data. It is a tool that enables advanced technical control, but it is simple enough to ensure that anyone can manage it. The solution covers all the important aspects of cloud data management at an enterprise level. The software (particularly the iOS app) offers great quality and it can help companies to work on their projects in a more efficient way.

Q: Python 3 Selenium KeyError: 'value' Issue won't initialize Geckodriver for Firefox I'm having trouble running geckodriver with Python 3. I recently switched to Python 3 with an application that I've been working on, and have updated Firefox(53.0), Selenium(3.4.3), and geckodriver(0.17.1). I'm also using OSX and used pip to install all of my packages.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

# Set Firefox Settings
# binary = FirefoxBinary('Users/username/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox')
# binary = FirefoxBinary('/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox')
# binary = FirefoxBinary('/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin')

path = '/usr/local/bin/geckodriver'
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=path,
                        firefox_profile=profile,
                        firefox_binary=binary)

browser.get("http://google.com")

The web browser will start, but then I will receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/jphubert/Desktop/AbstractionProject/py/browsertest.py", line 11, in <module>
firefox_profile=profile),
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 155, in __init__
keep_alive=True)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 92, in __init__
self.start_session(desired_capabilities, browser_profile)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 183, in start_session
self.capabilities = response['value']
KeyError: 'value'

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and geckodriver, taking @Viragos advice to ensure I installed the MacOS version. @Debanjan set me on the right track to try and set the Firefox binary and include it in the webdriver profile but I'm still getting the same error.
I've tried taking the Firefox binary from GitHub and putting it in a .py file as well, and have made attempts to remove the profile and executable path, but the same problem persists. My binary files are in the correct location and it works if I follow the path myself and click through their .exe files, but I can't make my script run anymore.
I've been running Selenium without any issues on Python 2.7, and only since yesterday, upgrading gecko and Python, have I been having problems.
Thank you!

A: Here is the Answer to your Question:
Using Selenium 3.4.x, Python 3.6.1 along with geckodriver v0.16.1 & Mozilla Firefox 53.0, you can configure the following parameters:

*

*firefox_binary: To provide the absolute path of the exact Firefox Binary you intend to use.

*firefox_profile: To specify if you want to start with a new/existing Firefox Profile.

*executable_path: To specify absolute path of the geckodriver.exe.

It is to be noted that the current Selenium-Python binding is unstable with geckodriver and looks to be Architecture specific. You can find the github discussion and merge here. So you may additionally need to pass the absolute path of the firefox binary as firefox_binary argument while initializing the webdriver

The following code block will open a Firefox Browser as per the configuration we set through the previous mentioned parameters:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe')
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
path = "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe"

browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=path, firefox_profile=profile,firefox_binary=binary)
browser.get("http://google.com")

Let me know if this Answers your Question.

A: Updating to geckodriver 0.17.0 fixed the issue for me
Firefox 53.0.3
Selenium 3.4.3
Python 3.6
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox.exe')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
driver.get(url)

A: I also met this problem when I tried to run the code at home with geckodriver in Pycharm. I added the geckodriver folder to System Environment Path. And then I updated Pycharm as well as the Selenium version and then it just fixed the problem.
I could run the code from CMD before updating my Selenium version. After updating the Selenium version in Pycharm. It's working again. It's weird.
I aslo tried to add the geckodriver path before but it didn't fix the problem.
driverPath = 'C:\\Users\\xxx\\OneDrive\\xxx\\geckodriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, executable_path=driverPath)

The Lawsuits and the Trump's Expansion of the Short-Term Healthcare Plans
November 27, 2019 November 16, 2018 by Jenny Wilson
To block an expansion of short-term health plans proposed by the Trump administration, seven advocacy groups and healthcare industry filed the lawsuits prior to its execution date. Several different groups like the American Psychiatric Association, the Association for Community Affiliated Plans, and many others professed that such policies that let short-term plans expansion to grow will create a great hurdle for ACA, who intent to spread low-cost comprehensive insurance plans throughout the states.
According to the CEO of the Association for Community Affiliated Plans, also responsible for safety-net insurers, Margaret Murray in one of her argument said, "We're very concerned that some plans in the ACA market may drop out because this will draw low-risk people out of the marketplace and increase unfair competition from plans that aren't subject to the same rules". However, the short-term rule plan was developed and finalized by the administration last month, and the effective date was announced to be the Oct 2nd. The rule allowed people to get "short-term", 364 days setup of healthcare insurance plans, with an extension of renewal after that for 36 months, if wanted. On this topic a CMS spokesperson said, and we quote, "short-term plans are an important option for people in certain circumstances and the Trump administration is committed to delivering greater access and more affordable choices to the men and women left out by Obamacare."
The issue that the healthcare groups have with the availability of such plans, are based on the provision of lower premium and non-comprehensive healthcare coverage plans. These plans are not bound to follow the rule of ACA 10 essential benefit categories, which include, maternity care, prescription drugs, and mental health care. They will also have the charge of filing patients with more money due to their age, pre-existing condition, gender, and health status and that too with no out-pocket caps. The healthcare groups are afraid that the law will produce a loophole out of ACA's narrow absolution for short-term plans and will allow the permanent structure of individual insurance market plans to take place, contradicting the ACA's protection standards.
However, a claim was started that Department of Labor, Treasury Department, and HHS have produced no strong reasoning to halt the action of short-term plans and not to overturn the 2016's Obama administration rule. Commissioned by the Association for Community Affiliated Plans, a Wakely Consulting Group study forecasted that approximately 2 million of the population will switch from their comprehensive ACA plans to short-term plans, producing a minimum hike of 6.6% for the short-term. But, a general counselor for "Health eDeals", an IHC Group division responsible for selling short-term plans, Ms. Dubauskas, argued that the renewable short-term policies will likely attract the customers that aren't on any insurance plans. But she did agree to the point that it can draw the comprehensive ACA plan holders to get premium subsidies as well, if their finances allow them to. "I don't think there will be a big impact on those individuals who are in the ACA risk pool now," she said.
"They won't be interested in walking away from the subsidies they have. If there is any risk to the pool, it's with those unsubsidized folks who are paying $600 a month with a $6,000 deductible. They may be looking for a more affordable option." The lawsuit also highlighted the fact of swapping places between ACA supporters and ACA foes, all to use courts to combat the Obamacare wars. Tim Jost, an emeritus law professor at Washington and Lee University said, "What we saw throughout the Obama administration was dozens of lawsuits filed by right-wing groups trying to eviscerate the ACA.
Now things have flipped. There will be a new lawsuit every time the Trump administration does something to undermine the ACA. He keeps saying he's trying to destroy it. It's not surprising people are taking him seriously."

Judges OK Schwarzenegger plan to reduce prison crowding
By Michael Rothfeld
Reporting from Sacramento —
A panel of three federal judges Tuesday approved a court-ordered plan submitted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to reduce overcrowding in California prisons by 40,000 inmates within two years.
The judges ruled against the state in August in two lawsuits by inmates who argued that overcrowding was the main cause of inadequate medical and mental health care in the prisons.
Schwarzenegger has appealed that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, but he was ordered in the meantime to come up with a plan to fix the problems. U.S. District Judges Thelton Henderson and Lawrence Karlton and 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhardt make up the panel.
They rejected his first proposal in October, saying it did not meet the required population targets or timeline. The governor's next attempt, submitted in November, was acceptable, the judges said. They ordered Schwarzenegger to implement it pending the resolution of his appeal of the case to the Supreme Court.
"We do not intervene lightly in the state's management of its prisons," the judges wrote Tuesday. "However, the state's long-standing failure to provide constitutionally adequate medical and mental health care to its prison inmates has necessitated our actions."
The nation's high court is expected to decide as early as Friday whether to take up the matter. Schwarzenegger's spokesman, Aaron McLear, said in a statement that administration officials "expect that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear our appeal on whether federal judges have the authority to order the early release of prisoners in our state."
If the state loses, the judges said, officials will have to meet interim population targets every six months, while submitting progress reports, before completing the plan within two years.
Schwarzenegger said in his plan that he would work with lawmakers to approve measures they rejected last year, including home detention with satellite tracking devices for some inmates; permitting some felons to serve time in county jails instead of state prisons; and reducing sentences for property crimes.
The governor also said he would need more prisoner transfers to other states, private prison construction and suspension of Civil Service rules, among other solutions.
If lawmakers refuse to go along, the judges could waive state law and order the measures implemented, Schwarzenegger said. The judges said they would consider waiving laws once the state had shown that other solutions had failed.
In another prison-related conflict Tuesday, state Controller John Chiang told Schwarzenegger's aides that he intends to end forced furloughs for correctional officers this month, prompting a threat from the governor's office to dock other pay from prison workers and make layoffs. The furloughs have been in effect nearly a year and amount to a 15% reduction in pay.
The dispute centers on the governor's appeal of a Dec. 29 order by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch overturning the furloughs for members of the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn. The governor's office said the appeal, filed Dec. 31, triggers an automatic stay of the court decision.
"The controller has overstepped his authority by taking this illegal action during our appeal," McLear said.
But Chiang's chief counsel, Richard Chivaro, contended in a letter to the governor's personnel chief that the type of order Roesch issued can't be appealed. For pay in January, the controller "has eliminated the pay differential and will pay the amount due for all hours worked," Chivaro wrote.
McLear said the state would file an emergency appeal. If that fails, he said, Schwarzenegger will begin cutting other pay union members receive for performing special duties and for retirement, along with instituting layoffs.

The trial of James Sawyer at Warren for the murder of William Holcomb has resulted in a verdict of acquittal. Holcomb's body was found in the woods near the centre of Vernon, on the 27th of May, 1867. He went to hunt some squirrels with a rifle, and was found lying dead with a bullet-hole through his head.
Sawyer happened to be the person who discovered him, and he was charged with murder, the motive being a suspected improper intimacy between Sawyer and Mrs. Holcomb. This, the testimony showed, was without foundation.
Last week, Geo. Foreman, of Woodsfield, Ohio, confessed on his death-bed to the murder of Miss Josephine Allen, of Salem, Ohio, in 1858. He did not intend to kill her at first, but struck her during a quarrel, and finding that he had seriously hurt her, carried her home, killed her with an ax, and secreted the body where it was afterwards found.
Two respectable ladies of that place called upon him the day before for medical advice. He administered chloroform and ravished them while under its effects. His assassin is supposed to be the brother of one of the ladies.

In The Chrysalids, David's relationship with his dreams mirrors his relationship with his telepathy. Of course, his dreams are also likely the product of his telepathy. At the beginning of the novel, David hides his dreams much like he hides his ability. For example, he tells Sophie about neither, even though he trusts her a great deal. At this phase in his life, both his dreams and his ability bring him great pleasure—they have not yet been tarnished by his relationship with Waknukian beliefs. After David comes to understand why Sophie had to flee, his dreams become increasingly violent and his ability becomes increasingly burdensome. By the end of the novel, however, David has found a way to the place in his dreams, where he can be open about his ability.
"Dreams were funny things and there was no accounting for them; so it might be that what I was seeing was a bit of the world as it had been once upon a time—the wonderful world that the Old People had lived in; as it had been before God sent Tribulation."

Richard Bruton confirms carbon tax rises will be 'considered in 2020 budget' | Western People

Richard Bruton confirms carbon tax rises will be 'considered in 2020 budget'
Energy Minister Richard Bruton is open to considering annual hikes in carbon taxes and confirms that upward changes to the levy will be considered for the 2020 budget.
He said it is a matter for the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe but that it is a "trajectory" that he and the Taoiseach Leo Varadfkar had said should be put in place.
He said: "That won't happen this year but it will be one of the issues considered in the 2020 budget."
Mr Bruton was speaking as a review of Ireland's energy needs by the International Energy Agency called for annual increases in carbon taxes. It called for an "automated upward adjustment" of the tax "when preset sectoral emission targets are not met".
Mr Bruton said he is "open" to considering this proposal.
The IEA also proposed that carbon taxes differ between sectors, but Mr Bruton does not favour this approach and said: "It is clear a price increase on carbon should impact on all sectors where carbon is used an energy source. And that should be uniform."
The IEA also said Ireland needs to develop a roadmap for decarbonising the residential heating sector, as 90% of homes still rely on fossil fuels. Furthermore, the IEA said Ireland would have difficulties reaching certain carbon-free energy targets by 2030.
