The Shifting Formula
The Shifting Formula
There are a lot of method books that help students with beginning shifting. When I was just starting out as a teacher, it was overwhelming the amount of shifting materials I could find. But although many books contained helpful exercises in practicing shifting, there was nothing that actually explained how to shift. When I was in graduate school, I had already been shifting for about a decade and had gotten some great teaching in how to shift. "Lighten up", "keep it smooth", "no jerky motions", "use a link note". I thought I was a pretty good shifter, but as usual, my brilliant teacher, George Taylor was able to boil a technical issue down to its essence and reveal how I could be doing better. He's the one who taught me the Shifting Formula.
The Shifting Formula
Every shift can be boiled down to 4 steps.
 1. Place: The finger before the shift is placed on the string.
 2. Release: The finger weight releases to a harmonic level on the string. At the same time, the thumb and base knuckle of the index finger also release or "lighten up".
 3. Glide: The finger and entire hand glide to the new position with the finger on a harmonic level of weight.
 4. Place: the finger in the new position on the string.
When teaching the shifting formula, I write down each step for the student, often on a post-it note placed on their piece or shifting exercise so they can refer to it throughout the week. Over the next several weeks and then periodically after that, I will quiz my students on the shifting formula. I want them to be able to name all 4 steps in order and using those four words. An issue of semantics: Many students will accidentally replace the word "glide" in Step No. 3 with the word "slide". It may seem silly to argue this, but I insist on using the word glide because I want to inspire a certain kind of shifting motion.
Merriam-Webster Defines glide as:
 1. 1 : to move smoothly, continuously, and effortlessly
 2. 2 : to go or pass imperceptibly
 3. 3a of an airplane : to descend gradually in controlled flight
To slide has a similar meaning but is less graceful and implies friction. I explain that while one can "slide" into home plate, it often kicks up a lot of dirt and is a tense moment in the game. By contrast, I want my student to glide effortlessly to the next position, like an eagle alighting on a current of air. After briefly discussing the Shifting Formula, I assign the first notated shifting exercises.
Barbara Barber's "No Fear Shifting" from Fingerboard Geography
I love the Fingerboard Geography book and it's available for both violin and viola. The exercises in this book are simple enough to memorize, so are appropriate for students who aren't as strong in reading music. I first assign the exercise in shifting to harmonics, then move on to the next group of exercises which take the student through same finger shifts up each string. In the first week, I only have students shift up to the 4th position. The after shifts in 1st through 4th position are secure, then we can work on shifts above the 4th position, where the student must adjust the location of the thumb. I have the student play very slowly at first, usually at quarter note equals 50, and release the finger weight so that I hear a harmonic level slide AKA a "seagull" during the shift.
At this point, the shifting formula becomes a tool for the student to gauge their own shifting success. If a student plays a shift that is audible or not smooth, I will ask "Which part of the formula could you use more of?" Hint: the answer is almost always that the student didn't release the finger or thumb weight enough! The shifting formula gives the student a specific and simple way to evaluate their own shifts. For a student whose left hand is especially "grabby", I may keep them shifting on the harmonic level for a while until they are able to shift without squeezing the thumb. Another trick for grabby thumbs is to place a band-aid on the top of the thumb. Regular band-aids are somewhat slick and if the student squeezes with the thumb, it will usually just slide around.
String Technique Hack Band-Aid
After the student is comfortable with the Barbara Barber exercises, then we will start working in Introducing the Positions. I've tried a lot of different method books for shifting, but ITP is, in my mind, the most comprehensive and organized. Many teachers dislike ITP because the material is dry and unmusical, especially in the beginning. I don't mind that because what the book lacks in compositional interest, it makes up for in brevity. Each exercise is no longer than a few lines and the book is helpfully divided by key so I can match the ITP exercise with the key of the piece a student is working on.
Using ITP
There are two different but important skills taught in ITP:
 1. Reading music correctly in the 3rd position in different keys. These exercises contain no shifts, but remain entirely in 3rd position.
 2. Shifting in and out of the 3rd position.
As a prerequisite to ITP, I want to make sure my student is comfortable playing and identifying intervals up to a perfect fifth, or at the very least skips and steps. The ability to think in terms of intervals is very important when beginning to shift and the student who is used to thinking only in terms of finger numbers or note names will be at a disadvantage. To review or reinforce intervals, I will use the Music Mind Games Staff Slate to have students practice making intervals from different notes.
Reading confidently in 3rd position usually involves some adjustment time. For students who are really struggling with the reading aspect, I may assign scales in the 3rd position only (which are included in ITP), and have the student say the note names out loud before playing each note. In the exercises, I will have the student play very slowly while either naming notes or saying intervals.
I like to assign one exercise from each category (reading and shifting) per week. When giving comments on the exercises, I'm constantly referring to the shifting formula. If a student plays a shift that is audible or not smooth, I will ask "Which part of the formula could you use more of?" Hint: the answer is almost always that the student didn't release the finger or thumb weight enough! The shifting formula gives the student a specific and simple way to evaluate their own shifts so we keep coming back to it again and again as we further improve and refine shifts. Once my students are confident shifting in 1st and 3rd position, and later in 2nd and 4th position, but no earlier than Book 5, then I know it's time to bring in the heavy-hitting etudes with Sevcik Op. 8. But that's a whole 'nother can of worms 🙂
Yours in the Alto Clef,

Wikimedia News Environment Business & Policy Science Animals Home & Design Current Events Treehugger Voices News Archive A new law hopes to fix deforestation and teach young people about environmental stewardship. Students in the Philippines now have a final requirement in order to graduate from school: they must plant 10 trees. The new law, which came into effect on May 15, 2019, will apply to graduates from elementary and high schools, and college or university. Called the "Graduation Legacy for the Environment Act," it is seen as a valuable opportunity for young people to take action against climate change. Congressman Gary Alejano, who introduced the bill, said, "While we recognize the right of the youth to a balanced and healthy ecology... there is no reason why they cannot be made to contribute in order to ensure that this will be an actual reality." With 12 million kids graduating from elementary school, 5 million from high school, and 500 thousand from university every year, that means 175 million trees will be planted annually. Over the course of a generation, that will mean 525 billion trees, although Alejano has said that even if only 10 percent of the trees survived, that's still an impressive 525 million in a generation. The Philippines, a tropical island nation, desperately needs those trees. The country has been severely deforested over the past century. Forbes reported, "Through the 20th century, forested area in the Philippines decreased from 70 percent to 20 percent. It is estimated that 24.2 million acres of forests were cut down from 1934 to 1988, primarily from logging... The implementation of this new law could trigger a fulcrum whereby the Philippines switches from net loss to net gain of trees." The law states that trees can be planted in forests, mangroves, ancestral domains, civil and military reservations, urban areas, inactive and abandoned mine sites, or other suitable locations. Forbes said that the "focus will be on planting indigenous species that match the area's climate and topography." A government agency will guide students through the process, connecting them with nurseries, helping to find a site, and ensuring the tree's survival. It reminds me of the tradition that existed in my small-town elementary school, where every kindergarten class planted a tree upon graduation and the names of students on tiny plaques were nailed to a neighboring fence. I still remember the excitement of that day, shovelling dirt into the hole and feeling pride in seeing 'my' tree take root. Those trees are tall and magnificent now, lining the park that the school grounds eventually became. It sounds like the Philippines has introduced a wonderful program that other countries would do well to emulate. Anything that gives young people a sense of connection and responsibility for the natural environment bodes well for its future.

Mediated category management: understanding how third parties enable value creation by fostering integration between sellers and buyers
Place of Publication
The paper was published at the 24th IMP-conference in Uppsala, Sweden in 2008.
In the past, scholars convincingly argued that integrating manufacturers and distributors facilitates value creation. Various techniques have been proved to suit this integration purpose. Among them, Category management (CM) has raised growing interest in scholarly research as well as practice, becoming one of the most diffused and controversial.In this paper, we tackle the issue of the integration of manufacturers' and distributors' CM activities by pointing out the conditions that facilitate CM implementation. In doing so, we focus on the intervention of third parties - which we label CM mediators - that facilitate the integration process and allow the coordination of CM strategies. We present an in-depth case analysis of an under-performing dyad in which, despite the existence prior relationships between the manufacturer and the distributor, CM was only realized through the intervention of a third party. The integration of CM is analyzed in respect of its key mechanisms and process phases. Crucial steps are indicated in which the intervening CM mediator identified failure in value exploitation, brought together the exchanging organizations, geared the knowledge sharing processes, moderated relational conflicts, and allowed the parties' strategies to be coordinated in the marketplace. A framework for CM-mediated integration is developed from the case analysis, and discussed in the light of current theory and practice. The emerging framework is presented with regard to two main dimensions of integration in CM: the mediated CM architecture and the mediated CM process.

20 January, 2017
Three times a year, the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM) hosts a very special event. Members Behind the Scenes gives visitors the opportunity to enter parts of the museum that are normally off limits (like the research labs) and see what goes on.
On Martin Luther King Day, scientists from the St. Croix Watershed Research Station provided research microscopes, field equipment, and displays of their scientific activities. Over 600 museum visitors attended the event.
Visitors, including kids as young as four, were able to look at diatoms through the best light microscopes currently available. Visitors learned why diatoms are so important in water and how scientists use diatoms in biomonitoring and paleoecological research. Visitors became citizen scientists and helped station researchers make observations.
The scientists tasked visitors with searching microscope slides for particular diatom species. Then, each citizen scientist learned how to measure diameter, length, patterns of ornamentation, and take a micrograph. Finally, the contributions from visitors were incorporated into development of taxon pages. As a result, the museum's newest citizen scientists created the content necessary to complete pages for Lindavia bodanica and Hannaea superiorensis.

Accenture "biometric matching engine" patent wins award
Accenture, a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, recently recognized its own technological prowess by bestowing one of its own biometric patents with an award.
The prize acknowledged Accenture's "biometric matching engine" patent as the most outstanding intellectual property produced by the firm in the last fiscal year, which is quite a feat, noting the company has over 150 patents granted or pending. The firm developed the engine to employ a "dynamic matching strategy". The strategy, which is patented, identifies and contrasts individual records within databases comprising of at least two set of biometric modalities.
The strategy, according to the patent, comprises: "receiving, by a processing device, a first input biometric sample and a second input biometric sample; determining, by the processing device, a first characteristic associated with the first input biometric sample and a second characteristic associated with the second input biometric sample; grouping, by the processing device and after receiving the first input biometric sample and the second input biometric sample, a plurality of records to form a first set of records and a second set of records, the grouping being based on the first characteristic and the second characteristic; performing, by the processing device and on the first set of records, a first matching process based on a first threshold; performing, by the processing device and on the second set of records, a second matching process based on a second threshold; and identifying, by the processing device, a record, of the plurality of records, based on a result of the first matching process and a result of the second matching process."
The main objective of the patent, according to Cyrille Bataller, a Managing Director in the Emerging Technology group at Accenture, is to be able to compare different biometric modalities in real time. "We have developed an new approach that provides maximum flexibility," said Bataller in an exclusive interview with BiometricUpdate.com. "We designed a system that can switch from one biometric to another and that acknowledges that quality among biometric samples will vary."
As the key artificial intelligence lead at Accenture, Bataller's job is to incubate the next generation of cognitive technology services. With over 20 years of experience in technology innovation, Cyrille leads Accenture's exploration of the disruptive artificial intelligence field, which include cognitive IT systems which can "sense, comprehend, act and learn", along with interact naturally with people, data and environments, with the goal of delivering value by automating or augmenting work activities in various domains.
Cyrille considers biometrics a form of AI, along with text analytics, deep learning, cognitive robotics, and virtual agents, and notes the Accenture already leads the field of AI integration in border management with the deployment of e-gates at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
Ranked as Europe's fourth largest airport, Schiphol processes over 50 million passengers a year. With an annual expected growth in passengers of approximately five percent, but no anticipated increases to its more than 400 border guards, airport executives were all too aware of the need to achieve speed and mobility while enhancing security and safety for travelers and trade. In conjunction, with Accenture, they worked to implement e-gates, which are run in a "as-a-service" model. Accenture worked to bring together public agencies and airport operators that set performance and quality indicators, with solution providers, who bring technological and functional expertise and a broad knowledge of similar installations.
"The benefit of AI being used for border controls is that it can be used to engage with passengers ahead of time, enhancing customer service," stated Cyrille. "We use AI to simulate intelligence that is focused on predictive tasks. Border control is perfectly suited since its operations entail a high volume of repetitive tasks and data. We apply AI to augment the higher-value security tasks that people engage in, thereby increasing speed of processing, and improving the travel experience in a direct way."
Cyrille ultimately predicts that in the near future, borders will be staffed by AI-driven robots or virtual assistance that will quickly perform simple processing tasks, freeing up human border patrol agencies to focus on more important, higher-level security issues. The unique combination of biometric matching and AI machine learning could simultaneously speed-up passenger flow, while reducing waiting times and increasing both security and passenger screening accuracy.
Cyrille's recent work has also focused on video analytics, an artificial intelligence specialty that applies computer vision to video surveillance cameras to derive operational, safety and marketing insights. Most notably, he supported various police safe city initiatives, where Accenture integrated advanced analytic capabilities into existing video monitoring systems to increase situational awareness, streamline operations and enhance response time to public safety incidents.
Cyrille also oversees Accenture's unique identity activities, which is another artificial intelligence specialty which includes the provision of biometric identity management systems to UNHCR to manage refugee populations globally.
As BiometricUpdate.com reported previously, Accenture's system is able to capture and store fingerprints, iris data and facial images of individuals, providing these undocumented refugees with their only personal identity record. UNHCR begun deploying Accenture's system last year in refugee camp locations in Thailand and Chad, the latter of which will enable the enrollment and formal identification of 450,000 people residing in more than 19 refugee camps.
Accenture also assisted the World Bank in released a report last year to help developing nations create universal ID management systems. The report notes that over 1.8 billion adults in developing countries currently lack an official ID and therefore have no access to essential services.
The report (PDF) identifies a comprehensive strategy and implementation roadmap for developing nations seeking to build, or expand citizen identity programs, regardless of their country's level of technology infrastructure. Providing legal identity for all the world's population by 2030 is a shared objective of the international community under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals project, which was an item repeatedly discussed at last week's ID4Africa Forum and conference in Kigali, Rwanda.
With border security and identity management emerging as major concerns, due to the unprecedented migrant crisis affecting Africa and the Middle East, and the pressing need to provide at least half of Africa's population with identity documents to ensure access to social services, Accenture expects continued investment in AI technologies for travel applications. The firm expects greater investments in these areas, along with the application of biometric and artificial intelligence technologies that will assist border management agencies to reduce waiting times while increasing security.

Introduction: How to Make Portable Speakers With PET Bottles
Environment-friendly and cheaper alternative
- One can make his/her own speakers without buying expensive ones from the electronics store. Just look for old desktop or stereo speakers (preferrably with a diameter of approx. 2.5 inches).
- The speakers can be utilized either indoors or outdoors due to its compact size and ease of use.
Step 1: STEP 1
- Gather the following materials:
1. two (2) small speakers (with a diameter of approximately 2.5 inches) attached to a 3.5mm jack
2. wire cutter
5. small Phillips screwdriver
6. two (2) identical PET bottles with a diameter of 2.5 inches on their widest inner area on the top halves
Step 2: STEP 2
- Use the cutter to slice the bottle into two.
- The horizontal ridges on the top half of the bottle can be used as guides. One can adjust where to cut according to his/her requirements.
Step 3: STEP 3
- Remove the bottle cap. Detach the wires from the one of the speakers with the scissors.
- Insert the wires of the other speaker through the neck of the bottle and carefully pull them out of the mouth, with the speaker's front facing the open bottom of the top half of the bottle.
Step 4: STEP 4
- If there are any sharp edges on the metal support of the speakers, slowly fold them inwards with the wire cutter. Fit each speaker snugly on the top ridge, near the neck of the bottle.
Step 5: STEP 5
- Using the cutter, cut through the center of the bottle caps with one horizontal line and the other one vertical, forming a "+" sign. Slowly pull outwards the four flaps that were formed by the cuts. Insert the wires through the caps, and twist the latter back on the necks of the bottles.
- Reattach the other speaker to the cut wires.
Step 6: STEP 6
- The speakers are ready for use.

Just Growth: Inclusion and Prosperity in America's Metropolitan Regions
Associate Professor, Community and Regional Development
University of California, Davis
Manuel Pastor Jr.
Professor, American Studies & Ethnicity and
Director, Program for Environmental and Regional Equity
University of Southern California
Combining statistical analysis of the largest metropolitan regions in the U.S. with a set of seven in-depth case studies, the authors point to the processes, policies and institutional arrangements that help explain more equitable growth (or its absence) in metropolitan settings. These include the stabilizing effect of the public sector, the positive impact of deconcentrating poverty, the influential role of a minority middle class, and the importance of leadership efforts to develop a shared vision amongst diverse constituencies.
Breaking new ground in its innovative blend of quantitative and qualitative methods, the book argues that another sort of growth is possible. Offering specific insights for regional leaders and analysts of metropolitan areas, the authors also draw a broader – and quite timely – set of conclusions about how to scale up these efforts to address a U.S. economy still seeking to recover from economic crisis and distributional divisions.

Abstract: Due to the operations of hydraulic structures, the flow regimes in downstream are dramatically altered, causing lots of changes on the aquatic ecosystem. To evaluate those effects on the fish habitats, an integrated model coupled a two-dimensional water quality module and an individual based fish module was developed. In the individual based fish module, fish swimming behavior to hydrodynamic conditions was taken into consideration. Through field surveys and laboratory flume experiments, the fish preference to flow conditions were investigated and defined. Compared to the previous version of the model, the main improvements consist in the features of population grouping and escaping, space competition, and different adapt abilities to flow changes. The developed model was applied to a compound channel of the Lijiang River in the southwest China, where the flow has been largely modified by the upstream reservoir. The model was validated by the historical fish survey data and the field observations conducted during the study. The scenario analysis showed that, if only the flow aspect was concerned, the flow regulations had positive effects on the non-migrating fish grass carp, but had little impact on crucian carp. In particular, the present operation scheme from early April to end of May should be improved. The methodologies developed in the research can provide support to optimize reservoir operation schemes and improve river management.


Red-light traffic fatalities reach a 10-year high
Red-light traffic fatalities reach a 10-year high
When you pull up to a stoplight in Pennsylvania, you may notice other motorists using their phones, talking to other passengers or otherwise not paying attention to the road. This is a common problem across Pennsylvania, and so much so that the state ranks ninth in the nation in terms of the number of people killed by red-light runners between 2008 and 2017.
According to the Pocono Record, Pennsylvania saw 215 road deaths attributed to red-light runners within that span. The uptick in road deaths linked to red-light runners is also a national problem. The nationwide number of associated traffic fatalities has reached its highest number in a decade.
National fatality statistics
On the national level, about half of all people killed by motorists who ran red lights were not the people who blew through the red lights. The offending drivers died in about 35% of these fatal crashes, while another 5% were pedestrians or cyclists attempting to navigate signaled intersections. The remainder of red-light related road deaths involved the drivers or passengers in other vehicles and not those who ran the red lights.
Pennsylvania fatality statistics
Of the 251 people who died in Pennsylvania because of red-light runners between 2008 and 2017, 91 of them were the negligent drivers. Another 105 deaths involved people traveling in other vehicles, and 23 of those deaths involved pedestrians or cyclists.
Safety tips
Abiding by traffic signals helps you stay safe to some extent. However, there are other steps to consider taking to lower your chances of involvement in a crash with a red-light runner. Tap your brakes a few times when approaching a signaled intersection to catch the attention of drivers behind you. Also, take a moment after a light turns green before proceeding into an intersection.


the field collapses, the stored energy can not go back to the battery, so it enters the load. Since an inductive field collapse forces the continuation of current flow, which forces the voltage to rise to the point the load will accept by starting to operate (= normal operation draws current).
 Now a battery is built with a known amount of Zinc and Manganese, with less manganese than zinc so at the end the zinc container will stay together when the manganese runs out. With too much manganese the cell will eat out all the zinc container and fill the equipment with battery electrolyte = damaged equipment.
 As these operate, they produce a steady 1.5 volts. As it runs out, there are local shortages = less voltage = higher internal resistance.
 So no batteriser will make 800% more milliampere hours. What it can do is extend the battery life, AT VERY LOW CURRENT, for a lot longer.
 The break in described is a fake set up by the owner of the batterizer. Battery makers can easily make cells last longer = more manganese and more zinc = more money for the cells. Whey do you thing cheap chinese batteries do not last long and corrode – less zinc and less manganese = thinner walls that corrode sooner.
 The new joule thief charges 4 capacitors from the battery in parallel. It then disconnects the 4 capacitors and re-connects them in series. It uses fet switches to do this with a controller that controls the connection times to give 1.5 volts out. At first, when the voltage is 1.3 volts, it draws less, and can make 1.5 volts all the way down to 0.375 volts. fets, when on have near zero volttage drop
 1. Hi Bill, Just a quick question. You use the term 'Flyback' and I am interested to know what this term means and if it is commonly used. Where I am the only time this term is used if for 'Flyback Transformer' and this term specificity relates to the line output transformer (LOPT) in old glass tube screens. This tern is not used here for anything else. So I guess I am asking – what specificly about a transformer makes it a flyback transformer and what's the reason for the name 'Flyback'?
 1. Hi,
 When they refer to flyback, it refers to how the transformer is driven. As the name implies, transformers in televions are usually driven in a flyback topology. For comparison, other common driving methods can be seen here.
 2. OK, I think I have this sorted.
 What is called a flyback transformer here in my country is specificity the line output transformer (LOPT) of an old glass tube TV.
 What you (I assume America) call a flyback is any transformer that dumps primary current to magnet flux and then separately dumps the magnetic flux to the secondary load in such a way that the secondary is *not* loaded while the primary is driven.
 We call the above a Buck-Boost transformer where you reserve the term Buck-Boost for a specific type of circuit that uses an inductor rather than a transformer.
 2. Actually based on the curve I have posted below, it would do poorly for a light load. It is probably best when your load is moderate where the regulator is near its peak efficiency and not drawing more current than than the battery could delivery. (i.e. if your power supply impedance is smaller than the battery internal resistance.)
 These days high tech battery operated electronics if they are designed with battery life in mind. If they could get more battery life with a boost converter, they would have one already. Most them them are using Li-ion anyways.
 3. I was hoping someone would mention the Joule Thief. The idea that only 20% of the battery has been used at the time that equipment drops out sounded pretty suspect to me but I thought there was some potentially usable energy in those 'dead' batteries because I remember the Joule Thief.
 Of course that doesn't say anything about the fact that it only works at low amperages and that it increases the likelihood of a leaky battery.
 4. The Joule Thief, by its nature, is only capable of producing periodic pulses, not a continuous output. It's only related to the batteriser insofar as both of them are boost converters.
 4. FYI: the patent document you linked to is for a published patent application, not an actual patent. The published application hasn't gone through any kind of review; inventors can put anything they want into the application. My guess is when the USPTO actually does pick this up for examination, they'll reach the same conclusion [Dave Jones] did: "You guys are full of shit."
 5. Quote: "The positive terminal of a battery is also the metal can, while the negative terminal is just a tiny nib of metal seperated from the rest of the battery by a gasket".
 Back to front. The metal can is negative and the nib is positive for the common sizes like AA, AAA, C, D etc.
 Button cells and the like are the other way around.
 6. This is like the skit based on the story of a poor scholar who could afford candles, so he studies at night from the light of fireflies.
 "It is great that you study hard at night, but what do you do all day?"
 "I was collecting the fireflies…"
 The circuit is active all the time and cannot be a 100% efficient, so it chews up juice at all times. Let's be generous that it consume close to zero quiescent current when your electronic device is off.
 When the battery is running low, its internal resistance increases quite a lot. Since a boost converter actually try to delivery a constant voltage output, essentially it'll need to delivery constant power. At low voltage, it has to draw more current to maintain constant power output.
 Energizer has detail datasheets for their alkaline battery. Look under the curves "Constant Power Performance" to see how much more battery life you can get from 0.9V vs 1.2V. To use the graph, draw a vertical line where the X axis is your power consumption. The intersection points of that vertical line and the 1.2V and 0.9V curve are the respective battery life.
 Now also take a look at the voltage discharge curve at how sharply the battery voltage drops under 0.8V. Essentially they are telling you at 250mW, there is no difference in battery life whether you are draw down to 0.8V or 0.9V.
 tl;dr summary:
 At no point, the battery life shows 800% difference. You might get slight 130% more depending on your load. Heavier loads gets a bit more. Now that's without taken the efficiency of the boost converter which tends to get less efficient as you draw more load. The PMOS/NMOS have horrible r(on) when you only have 1.5V or so vgs to work with.
 I have work with switch mode power supply a bit to say this: (ref: my projects)
 The simple Joule Thief circuits are crap when you compare them to chip based designs as they do not have good inductor current control or use more efficiency PFM during low load. Further more, they use bipolar transistor that have high saturated voltage.
 1. Good summary. Joule thief type circuits are indeed not great for this kind of application in general, and they also tend to get worse and worse as the size of the inductor is shrunk – so I think we're all being very generous with how good their tiny device will be :)
 1. "Erik,
 This isn't a capacitor manufacturer selling me their prototype. This is a capacitor manufacturer, making MY prototype. I made the graphene and they built the capacitor. Need details? Online you'll find people who are making graphene in their blender. I use a ball mill with 6, 1/4″ ceramic balls, running for a week. Then the graphene is placed on a film that is electrostatically neutral and the graphene is give time to dry, in which I'm left with very long chains of carbon nano tubes"
 Yah this guy was full of it, you dont get CNT's from ground up graphite, you dont even get graphene. Just using buzzwords to swindle hipsters, eh I digress
 2. I love it how they talk about suing the developer. Take responsibility for your own actions backers!
 Kickstarter is just that, crowd investment. It carries the same risk that comes from any form of investment. If you don't have the foresight to see something is infeasible, don't back it or wear the consequence. Don't blame the developer.
 I almost hope the batteriser is successfully funded, just to see the backlash afterwards. "The damn thing wears out mah batteries faster dang nammit!"
 1. There's a big difference between fraud and an inability to deliver. Kickstarter is risky, but it's not a license to defraud your customers with no consequences.
 2. Why did you bother writing something that seems so full of misdirection and strange logic?
 1) Investors sue all the time if they are DEFRAUDED
 2) As others said, its not a investment in a corporation – it is a pre-order. For unestablished companies it also acts as "an investment" – but really we start to strain the

- Text is a text string containing characters to extract,
- Number_chars represents the number of characters to be extracted.
- RIGHTB(), returns the rightmost characters from a text value.RIGHTB is intended for use with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS).
RIGHTB (Text,Number_chars) e.g. RIGHTB("String123",3) displays 123 as a result.
- RIGHTB counts 2 bytes per character when system is set to language supporting DBCS, else counts 1 byte per character.
- RIGHTB works with the languages that use 'Double Byte Character Set' (DBCS).
- Text can be any string containing characters, numbers, symbols, blank spaces etc.
- If argument Text is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
- Argument Number_chars indicates the number of byte characters to be displayed from a text string. Number_chars should be >0.
- If Number_chars > 'length of text', Calci displays the entire text.
- If Number_chars is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 1.
Consider the following examples as input to RIGHTB() function.
=RIGHTB(A1,4) : Displays last 4 characters in a string from cell A1. Displays #!#> as the output. =RIGHTB(A2,6) : Displays last 6 characters in a string from cell A2. Displays SMITH as the output.
Space Character is also counted. =RIGHTB(A3) : Displays last character in a string from cell A3. Displays 3 as the output. =RIGHTB("Good Morning",20) :Displays the full text string Good Morning as the output.
Need to give examples with characters/language supporting DBCS


the currently possible return types automatically inherits from the current return type of the parser rule. You can specify additional common supertypes by means of "artificial" parser rules, that are never called, e.g.
 SubTypeA | SubTypeB | SubTypeC;
Enum Literal Generation
For each alternative defined in an enum rule, the transformer creates an enum literal, when another with the same name cannot be found. The 'literal' property of the generated enum literal is set to the right hand side of the declaration. If it is ommitted, you'll get an enum literal with equal 'name' and 'literal' attributes.
enum MyGeneratedEnum:
Feature Normalization
As a last step, the generator examines all generated EClasses and lifts up similar features to supertypes if there is more than one subtype and the feature is defined in every subtypes. This does even work for multiple supertypes.
Error Conditions
The following conditions cause an error
 - An EAttribute or EReference has two different types or different cardinality.
 - There are an EAttribute and an EReference with the same name in the same EClass.
 - There is a cycle in the type hierarchy.
 - An new EAttribute, EReference or supertype is added to an imported type.
 - An EClass is added to an imported EPackage.
 - An undeclared alias is used.
 - An imported metamodel cannot be loaded.
Importing existing Meta Models
With the import directive in Xtext you can refer to existing Ecore metamodels and reuse the types that are declared in an EPackage. Xtext uses this technique by itself to leverage Ecore datatypes.
import "_URL_ as ecore;
Specify an explicit return type to reuse such imported types. Note that this even works for lexer rules.
Language Inheritance
Xtext supports language inheritance. Grammars that are created via the Xtext wizard extend *org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals* by default.
 grammar org.xtext.example.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
 generate myDsl "_URL_
Inheriting from another grammar makes the rules defined in that grammar referable. It is also possible to overwrite rules from the super grammar. Example :
 grammar my.SuperGrammar
 RuleA : "a" stuff=RuleB;
 RuleB : "{" name=ID "}";
 grammar my.SubGrammar with my.SuperGrammar
 Model : (ruleAs+=RuleA)*;
 // overwrites my.SuperGrammar.RuleB
 RuleB : '[' name=ID ']';
Default tokens
Xtext is shipped with a default set of predefined, reasonable and often required terminal rules. This grammar is defined as follows:
 grammar org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals hidden(WS, ML_COMMENT, SL_COMMENT)
 terminal STRING :
 '"' ( '\\' ('b'|'t'|'n'|'f'|'r'|'"'|"'"|'\\') | !('\\'|'"') )* '"' |
 "'" ( '\\' ('b'|'t'|'n'|'f'|'r'|'"'|"'"|'\\') | !('\\'|"'") )* "'"
 terminal ANY_OTHER: . ;
Architectural Overview
TMF Xtext itself and every language infrastructure developed with TMF Xtext is configured and wired-up using dependency injection (DI). We use Google Guice as the underlying framework, and haven't built much on top of it as it pretty much does what we need. So instead of describing how google guice works, we refer to the website, where additional information can be found [2].
Using DI allows everyone to set up and change all components. This does not mean that everything which gets configured using DI (we use it a lot) is automatically public API. But we don't forbid use of non-public API, as we think you should decide, if you want to rely on stable API only or use things which might be changed (further enhanced ;-)) in future. See Xtext/Documentation/API.
Runtime setup (ISetup)
For each language there is an implementation of ISetup generated. It implements a method called 'doSetup()', which can be called do the global setup.
This class is intended to be used for runtime and unit testing, only. The setup method returns an Injector, which can further be used to obtain a parser, etc. The setup method also registers the ResourceFactory and generated EPackage with the respective global registries provided by EMF.
So basically you can just run the setup and start using EMF API to load and store models of your language.
Setup within Eclipse / Equinox
Within Eclipse we have a generated Activator, which creates a Guice injector using the modules. In addition an IExecutableExtensionFactory is generated for each language, which is used to create ExecutableExtensions. This means that everything which is created via extension points is managed by guice as well, i.e. you can declare dependencies and get them injected up on creation.
The only thing you have to do in order to use this factory is to prefix the class with the factory (guice.Aware) name followed by a colon.
 name="EcoreDsl Editor">
The Guice Injector configuration is done through the use of Modules (also a Guice concept). The generator provides two modules when first called, one for runtime ([MyLanguage]RuntimeModule) and one for UI ([MyLanguage]UIModule). These modules are initially empty and intended to be manually edited when needed. These are also the modules used directly by the setup methods. By default these modules extend a fully generated module.
Generated Modules
The fully generated modules (never touch them!) are called Abstract[MyLanguage]RuntimeModule and Abstract[MyLanguage]UiModule resp. They contain all components which have been generated specifically for the language at hand. Examples are: the generated parsers, serializer or for UI a proposal provider for content assist is generated. What goes into the modules depends on how your generator is configured.
Default Modules
Finally the fully generated modules extend the DefaultRuntimeModule (resp. DefaultUiModule), which contains all the default configuration. The default configuration consists of all components for which we have generic default implementations (interpreting as opposed to generated). Examples are all the components used in linking, the outline view, hyperlinking and navigation.
Changing Configuration
We use the primary modules ([MyLanguage]RuntimeModule and [MyLanguage]UiModule) in order to change the configuration. The class is initially empty and has been generated only to allow for arbitrary customization.
In order to provide a simple and convenient way, in TMF Xtext every module extends AbstractXtextModule. This class allows to write bindings like so:
public Class bind[anyname]() {
 return MyInterfaceImpl.class;
Such a method will be interpreted as a binding from MyInterface to MyInterfaceImpl. Note that you simply have to override a method from a super class (e.g. from the generated or default module) in order to change the respective binding. Although this is a convenient and simple way, you have of course also the full power of Guice, i.e. you can override the Guice method void bind(Binding) and do what every you want.
Runtime Architecture
Value Converters
The linking feature allows for specification of cross references within an Xtext grammar. The following things are needed for the linking:
 1. declaration of a cross link in the grammar (at least in the meta model)
 2. specification of linking semantics
Declaration of cross links
In the grammar a cross reference is specified using square brackets.
CrossReference :
 '[' ReferencedEClass ('|' terminal=AbstractTerminal)? ']'
ReferringType :
 'ref' referencedObject=[Entity|(ID|STRING)];
The meta model derivation would create an EClass 'ReferringType' with an EReference'referencedObject' of type 'Entity' (containment=false). The referenced object would be identified either by an ID or a STRING and the surrounding information (see scoping).
Example: While parsing a given input string, say
ref Entity01
Xtext produces an instance of 'ReferringType'. After this parsing step it enters the linking phase and tries to find an instance of Entity using the parsed text 'Entity01'. The input
ref "EntityWithÄÖÜ"
would work analogously. This is not an ID (umlauts are not allowed), but a STRING (as it is apparent from the quotation marks).
Specification of linking semantics
The default ILinker implementation is provided with an instance of ILinkingService. Although the default linking behavior is appropriate in many cases there might be scenarios where this is not sufficient. For each grammar a linking service can be implemented/configured, which implements the following interface:
public interface ILinkingService extends ILanguageService {
 * Returns all EObjects referenced by the given link text in the given context.
 List getLinkedObjects(EObject context, EReference reference, LeafNode text);
 * Returns the textual representation of a given object as it would be serialized in the given context.
 * _USER_ object
 * _USER_ reference
 * _USER_ context

Understanding of cattle genetics and genomics has increased dramatically. This book covers genetic components behind important factors in cattle production such as breeds, disease resistance, growth, development, behaviour, body composition and meat quality. With significant updates throughout, this new edition includes significantly updated material, new contributing authors, and new chapters on genetics of fat production and deposition, nutrition, feed intake and feed efficiency, growth and body composition and genomic selection in beef and dairy cattle. Within the past two decades, new methods created by molecular genetics and cytogenetics as well as quantitative genetics have greatly enlarged the amount and quality of genetic information available in domestic mammals. Cattle have been significantly involved in this process, particularly due to the large impact of new knowledge and methods on the economy and culture of numerous countries for both meat and milk production. As demands for these goods increase, modern genetic technologies in immunogenetics, cytogenetics, biochemical and molecular genetics create optimistic expectations for the future. A comprehensive reference to work on genetics and selection of cattle Written by internationally recognised experts All relevant topics, from phylogeny, morphological traits, diseases and behaviour to transgenics, performance traits and genome mapping included Invaluable to advanced students and researchers, as well as livestock producers and veterinarians.

In order to manage and protect groundwater, it is necessary to: evaluate the quality and quantity of groundwater that is available in the province's aquifers; allocate the available groundwater amongst the various users; protect the quality of groundwater by minimizing contamination from human activities; and, monitor groundwater to track long-term trends in its quality and quantity and to assess the effectiveness of our groundwater management programs.
Some of the department's key groundwater management initiatives used to meet these objectives include (details below):
- groundwater resource evaluation
- sustainable groundwater development
- groundwater protection
- groundwater monitoring
Groundwater Resource Evaluation
The goal of groundwater resource evaluation is to provide an inventory of groundwater resources. This includes assessing both the quality and quantity of groundwater in the province's aquifers. The information gathered during groundwater resource evaluations is used to answer questions such as "How much groundwater is available?" and "What is the quality of the groundwater?". Groundwater resource evaluation is a key step in groundwater management because groundwater resources are not unlimited and, therefore, knowing how much groundwater is available helps to prevent over-exploitation and promotes sustainable development.
Groundwater resource evaluation studies began in Nova Scotia in the 1960's and reports have been completed for approximately half of the province. View the list of available groundwater resource reports and maps.
Recently, the Earth Science Sector of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), in partnership with Nova Scotia Environment and Labour, has carried out groundwater resource evaluations in two areas of Nova Scotia: Cumberland County and the Annapolis Cornwallis Valley. The first project, which was called the Maritimes Groundwater Initiative (MGWI) project, covered areas in Cumberland County, NS, as well as areas in New Brunswick and PEI. The MGWI reports are available for download at the NRCan publications page. The second project, which is called the Annapolis Cornwallis Valley Aquifer Study (ACVAS), is currently in progress. View the preliminary results from the ACVAS project.
Sustainable Groundwater Development
The goal of sustainable groundwater development is to ensure that groundwater use does not exceed the sustainable yield of the province's aquifers. The sustainable yield of an aquifer is defined as the total groundwater withdrawals that can be maintained indefinitely without causing unacceptable environmental, economic or social consequences. The sustainable aquifer yield is assumed to be no greater than 50% of the annual aquifer recharge, unless it can be demonstrated that additional withdrawals will not cause unacceptable effects. The 50% unallocated portion is retained to maintain base flow for surface water bodies.
Sustainable groundwater development is promoted in the province by requiring groundwater withdrawal approvals if a groundwater withdrawal exceeds 23,000 litres per day (5,000 gallons per day), and through the Water Resources Protection Act which controls large scale removals of water from the province.
Groundwater withdrawal approvals allow the department to assess the potential effects of each proposed groundwater withdrawal on a case-by-case basis and track how much groundwater has been allocated in the province. For each groundwater withdrawal approval application, a hydrogeological study must be completed to evaluate the potential effects of the proposed withdrawal on existing groundwater users and the environment. The evaluation includes an assessment of the following: sustainable yield of the aquifer, well interference effects, water quality effects, the potential for sea water intrusion and groundwater-surface water interaction.
The department uses the following guiding principles to allocate groundwater withdrawals:
- Withdrawals from the aquifer must be sustainable (i.e., can be maintained indefinitely without causing unacceptable environmental, economic or social consequences);
- New groundwater withdrawals should not cause any significant adverse effects to existing groundwater users or the environment;
- Groundwater allocations are based on a "first-come, first-served basis" with priority given to drinking water applications; and
- Groundwater allocations are based on the applicant's current water needs and the applicant cannot typically reserve water for future use beyond the expiry date of the approval (i.e., 10 years).
Visit our page on water withdrawal approvals for information on how to apply for a groundwater withdrawal approval.
The goal of groundwater protection is to protect the quality of groundwater by minimizing contamination from human activities. Groundwater quantity is also protected, however, these initiatives are described above in the "Sustainable Groundwater Development" section. The department promotes the protection of groundwater quality in several ways, including: requiring wells to be properly constructed; requiring old abandoned wells to be properly sealed so they cannot act as pathways for contamination; and, by requiring approvals for activities or facilities that have the potential to contaminate groundwater, such as septic systems and landfills.
The department is also working with municipalities and stakeholders to protect municipal drinking water supplies, including both surface water and groundwater supplies. The five step process used to develop a source water protection plan in Nova Scotia is similar for groundwater and surface water supplies. The main difference occurs during Step 2 (PDF: 2.2mb) of the process, which involves delineating the wellhead protection area.
Wellhead Protection Areas in Nova Scotia
To protect a groundwater supply, you must delineate the area that contributes water to the well so that potential sources of contamination can be identified and managed. The source water protection area surrounding the well or well field is called the Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA).
The Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) includes all or part of the of the area that contributes groundwater to the well field and is typically divided into several smaller zones that are used to manage different types of contaminants. The different zones in the WHPA are based on the time it takes groundwater to travel to the well. Zones that are closer to the well require a higher level of protection because there is a shorter distance to travel before groundwater reaches the well. In Nova Scotia, a minimum of three WHPA zones are recommended, as follows:
- Zone 1 - (0 to 2 year travel time). This zone is used to protect against microbial contaminants (e.g., bacteria and viruses) and all chemical contaminants.
- Zone 2 - (2 to 5 year travel time). This zone is used to protect against all chemical contaminants, including persistent chemical contaminants (e.g., chlorinated solvents, nitrates, road salt, etc.) and non-persistent chemical contaminants (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons).
- Zone 3 - (5 to 25 year travel time). This zone is used to protect against persistent chemical contaminants (e.g., chlorinated solvents, nitrates, road salt, etc.).
In addition to the zones defined above, it is also recommended that a "well site control zone" be established to protect the area immediately surrounding the well. This area, which is considered to be the wellhead itself, is used to protect against the day-to-day activities of the water utility and any other potential sources of contamination, including vandalism. The well site control zone can be determined based on a simple fixed radius, which should be a minimum of 30 m.
For wells that have been classified as Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of surface water (PDF: 141k) (GUDI), there is potential for contaminants within the watershed to be rapidly carried to the well field by surface water, even if the contaminant sources are outside the 2-, 5-, or 25-year groundwater travel times. Therefore, for GUDI wells, the land area within the watershed boundaries should also be included within the WHPA. This approach ensures that the potential risk of contaminants migrating in surface water adjacent to a well field will be considered in the source water protection plan. Because groundwater outside the watershed may also contribute water to the well field, the WHPA zones should still be delineated for GUDI wells.
Methods to Delineate the Wellhead Protection Area
There are several methods available to delineate the WHPA. The preferred method in Nova Scotia is numerical modelling using a computer model. When properly set up and calibrated with adequate field data, computed models provide the best method to accurately delineate the WHPA.
The department's groundwater monitoring programs are used to track long-term trends in groundwater quality and quantity and to assess the effectiveness of groundwater management programs. Monitoring programs are an essential tool for checking on the status of the province's groundwater, assessing the impact of human activities on groundwater, and evaluating long-term groundwater trends associated with issues such as climate change.
Two of the department's key groundwater monitoring programs are: the Nova Scotia Groundwater Observation Well Network, which tracks groundwater levels and groundwater chemistry through a network of wells across the province; and, the Well Water Nitrate Monitoring Program, which monitors nitrate levels in approximately 150 private wells in Kings County.

Frequently Asked Questions – For After Surgery Wear E-Collar Alternative
If you have a question that is not here about After Surgery Wear or about our other products, please contact us.
Product Questions
Q: How do male animals go on walks?
A: To prevent access to the wound, After Surgery Wear does not have an opening for male animals to urinate. Before letting your pet out, the product must be partially removed from the back legs by following the instructions below:
STEP 1: Untie the last two pairs of strings and take the product off from the back legs.
STEP 2: Tightly roll and compress the fabric forward while tucking in one pair of strings and leaving one pair out
STEP 3: Retie the pair of strings left outside around the body and ensure the area is clear to allow the animal to urinate
STEP 4: Dress the animal back after returning from the walk and visually verify that the fabric is clean
Q: How do female animals go on walks?
A: After Surgery Wear has a cut in the back to allow most female animals to urinate/excrete without removing the product. It is recommended to perform a visual check upon applying the product to ensure your pet can safely urinate with the product on.
Q: Do all cats and dogs tolerate After Surgery Wear?
A: Yes, usually cats and dogs tolerate the dressings. After Surgery Wear is specifically designed for animals in order to optimize comfort and effectiveness although it is easier for cats to adjust to the dressing while still under anesthesia.
Q: What's the difference between the durable and robust fabrics?
A: Our two fabric types ensure comfort and safety is optimized for animals. Durable fabrics come in a mix of colours and are stretchable while robust fabrics are only available in teal green and are non-stretchable. The non-stretchable feature provides extra strength against wear and tear of the dressing.
Q: Are the post-operative dressings reusable? How do I wash them?
A: Yes, After Surgery Wear is reusable after sterilizing or machine washing in high temperatures (95 degrees max). Before washing the product, it is recommended to tie a knot at the end of each string to reduce the possibility of fraying. To minimize the possibility of shrinkage, hang to dry.
Q: Do all units come with a hygienic pad? What can I use it for?
A: Sizes XXS, XS, S, M, ML, and L come with an adhesive hygienic pad which may be used for additional protection and to absorb discharge. The absorbed discharge may also be used by clinicians for diagnostic purposes. Please contact us if you require additional hygienic pads. Alternatively, a regular feminine pad may be used available at a local drug store.
Q: How can I choose the right size for patients?
A: After Surgery Wear is available in nine sizes to ensure a proper fit for nearly all cats and dogs. To determine the correct size, measure the distance between the center of the upper front leg to the center of the upper back leg. If the sizing falls in between, it is recommended to select a larger size. The cotton strings may be adjusted in length which ensures a custom and secure fit for every animal
Q: Should I trim the strings?
A: To accommodate to all sizes of animals and ensure the product is universal, the strings come a little longer than needed for most animals. If the strings appear too long after tying them on the animal, then yes it is recommended to shorten their length by trimming the end. For multiple use do not trim the ends but tuck the excess under the dressing. It is recommended to tie a single knot at the end of each one. The knot will also prevent the strings from fraying during the wash after they are trimmed.
Q: How should I tie the strings?
A: Always start with the middle string. In the event that the product is slightly looser on the animal, or the last strings are over the animal's tail, the last pair of strings should be crisscrossed with the second last pair of strings to ensure a secure fit (Tie the left side of the last string with the right side of the second last string and vice-versa).
How can I place an order?

May 12, 2011 / ENERGY GLOBE Award
Project presentation - "Winery at monastery"
The winery at the monastery in Klosterneuburg has analyzed all processes in the entire estate in order to know their impact on climate and environment and improve it. Now the climate protector pioneer "ClimatePartner" certified Klosterneuburg as the first winery in Austria as carbon neutral.
The carbon footprint of the winery and its various products has been computed in the realm of a study. This enabled an exact analysis of the status quo that served as the basis for a plan for reducing emissions. Then the monastery immediately began to implement measures that could be quickly realized.
Meanwhile for about a year climate-neutral wine is on the market and has attracted public interest. Aspects incorporated in the reduction of emissions include fuel and energy consumption in the company, use of coolants, water consumption waste water, business trips, commuting on the part of all employees, outsourcing, in-house use of paper and office supplies, use of production materials, etc.
Working close to nature reduces CO2 emissions, it also results in more rather unconventional solutions, such as the experimental attitude of chicken between the rows. They loosen the soil and take care of the weed control.

Preparation and Antibacterial Effect of Silver-Carrying Nano-Hydroxyapatite Powder
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has attracted many attentions because it has a similar structure to that of human bones and favorable biocompatibility. However, the antibacterial effect of HA must be improved. In this paper, HA nanoparticles were prepared by a simple method. Then, Ag-carrying HA powder (Ag-HA) was prepared by an ion-solution reaction and its antibacterial property was investigated. The results showed that Ag-HA powder had excellent ability in inhibiting the growth of two species of bacteria, namely E. coli and S. aureus. Ag ion was believed to play a key role in killing bacteria.

Sector Dump Format
From Ninerpedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A disk image in Sector Dump Format is defined as a concatenation of all sector contents in logical sequence. These disk image files are typically suffixed with ".dsk" or ".DSK". Note that the Track Dump Format images are also suffixed with ".dsk" or ".DSK", so this cannot be decided by the file suffix alone.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ... n-1 [Bad sectors map]
It should be noted that the SDF does not represent the physical sequence of sectors per track. The sectors on a real floppy disk are arranged by an interleave per track, with a skew from track to track. See more about the real arrangement in the article on the Interleave.
Standard format
In the standard format, which is used in many emulators like v9t9, MAME, or js99er, the file only consists of the sectors, and no bad sector map is available.
In the TI world, all sectors are 256 bytes long. Files can easily be checked for this format by verifying that the total file size is a multiple of 256. Also, single density format defines tracks with 9 sectors per track, while double density contains 18 sectors per track. There is one exception: The original TI DD controllers (or the HX5102 Hexbus floppy) use 16 sectors/track for double density.
Assuming that we have a 9 or 18 sectors/track layout, SDF image sizes should be expected to be a multiple of 9·256 = 2304 bytes.
Since the format does not encode any metadata, there are situations where the original disk format cannot be determined easily. In particular, a double-sided/single density (DSSD) format has the same sector count as a single-sided/double density (SSDD) format. The same issue appears for 80 track images with single density versus 40 track images with double density.
In these cases, looking into sector 0 may help to disambiguate the format analysis. This will only work if the disk image is formatted, of course.
File sizes for formats:
Format Description Recording Cylinder count Head count Sector count File size Occurance
SSSD Single-sided, single density FM 40 1 360 92160 typical
DSSD Double-sided, single density FM 40 2 720 184320 typical
DSSD80 DSSD with 80 tracks FM 80 2 1440 368640 rare, but increasing
SSDD Single-sided, double density MFM 40 1 720 184320 very rare
DSDD Double-sided, double density MFM 40 2 1440 368640 typical
DSDD80 DSDD with 80 tracks MFM 40 2 2880 737280 rare
DSHD80 Double sided, high density MFM 80 2 5760 _PHONE_ very rare
SSDD16 Single-sided, double density (TI) MFM 40 1 640 163840 not seen yet
DSDD16 Double-sided, double density (TI) MFM 40 2 1280 327680 not seen yet
DSDD77 DSDD (TI) with 77 tracks MFM 77 2 2464 630784 not seen yet
Extended format
There is one extension to the SDF which adds 768 bytes at the end, containing a map of bad sectors. File sizes are a multiple of 9·256 plus 768; that is, if the file size is not a multiple of 9·256, but is 768 bytes longer, the file is very likely a sector dump with bad sectors map.
This was introduced by a tool to read real TI floppy disks on a PC. Emulators typically ignore these additional bytes. For that reason, this format is really rare to find.
MAME Hard disk format (legacy)
In very early releases, the MESS emulator (now part of MAME) supported hard disk image files in a sector dump format. However, for quite some time, MESS (and MAME) require images in CHD format.
