<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>On 10 Jul 08, I will celebrate my 30 year service anniversary with my current company.  I feel very fortunate to have been able to do my part building what we all consider to be a highly successful company.  The problem in general when talking about something like this, though, is "what does one say about a 30 year career with a company?!"  Typically, when I tell someone this little tidbit, they look at me incredulously and say "30 YEARS!?  That's a loooong time!"  It IS a long time, and even I tend to look back in amazement.  I don't know how much longer I'll be working at the same place, but my plan - mind and body being willing - is to work at least another 30 years (solution to the social security crisis?) one way or the other...</p>
<p>Overall I have been treated well with ups and downs along the way - a natural consequence of being a part of an organization that grew to &#62; 90,000 employees at one point while pulling back dramatically due to divestitures, etc. and then back up to around 30,000 today.  In my company, I have worked with or been a part of the semiconductor test portion of the manufacturing automation division for the vast majority of my career.  This test portion has suffered ups and downs as well as my company considered the pros and cons of make vs. buy in the various areas of manufacturing automation.  We in test are in fact in a bit of a "renaissance" period as we speak and have really never been so successful (in my memory at least).  We are essentially the last one left out of a rather long list of process steps my company has automated over the years as the support industry has developed good solutions to the problems that needed to be solved.</p>
<p>I have also been very fortunate in that I have been given a rather long succession of very juicy problems to chew on (perhaps I seized many - but not all - of them).  My favorite and most successful assignment was running a wafer test floor where multiple wafer fabs sent their wafers.  My group was given the challenge of resolving a rather long list of problems that had developed over the years, and I was given the lead role as operations manager inclusive of engineering responsibilities.  We managed to achieve all challenges, and about 2.5 years later the operation was moved back to a more normal reporting situation.  I've often said I could write a book about my experiences in this one assignment, and may well do so one day.  The wealth of knowledge, experiences and relationships I was able to develop amazes me to this day.  Second on my list was my assignment as program manager for the development of a 64 unit parallel memory test and handling system for DRAMs.  This was a leading edge assignment in 1983 for which my company moved me from Houston to Dallas, and the program success helped my company profitability, helped me get to know my new team extremely well and helped me move up the technical ladder at my company.</p>
<p>Wow, 30 years!</p></div>

<description><![CDATA[I really miss the old big trade shows where you could wander through the aisles and compare products]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really miss the old big trade shows where you could wander through the aisles and compare products. From what I've seen given the consolidation of computer manufacturers for the manufacturing market, <a href="http://www.panasonic.com/toughbook" target="_blank">Panasonic</a> is consistently there with the really rugged products. It has just released an "ultra mobile" Toughbook computer, the CF-U1, said to be the first ultra mobile PC to integrate the new low power Intel Atom processor in a rugged handheld computer for use in the field.</p>
<p>Workforce reductions combined with new technologies have led to the introduction of mobile operators in plants and other mobile workers. Products such as this are an enabling technology.</p>
<p>In the words of Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, “We’ve responded with a highly portable and durable device that offers integrated features such as an LCD touchscreen, solid state drive as well as an optional fingerprint scanner for user authentication. Data capture is enabled using 1D and 2D barcode and RFID readers and a 2-megapixel digital camera. The Toughbook CF-U1 offers full-shift battery life, a sunlight viewable screen and seamless connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G-mobile-broadband internet connectivity, all within a rugged package for maximum reliability.”</p>
<p>The Panasonic Toughbook CF-U1 UMPC will be available worldwide in August, 2008. In the United States, the base CF-U1 model is expected to be available at an estimated street price of $2,499 from authorized Panasonic resellers and distributors.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks for all the comments and emails. I essentially set up this blog quickly over the holiday week]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for all the comments and emails. I essentially set up this blog quickly over the holiday weekend  and threw it up just to see what push back I would get. This is actually by third WordPress blog. One is in philosophy (starting somewhere around 13 years old, I read a lot in two areas--electronics and philosophy) and one is a blog teaching ministry of my church. I've been trying to get the church to adopt things such as blogging, podcasting, online video and the like. We're doing a lot of that. I don't have lots of time, so I don't really devote the design time that I should to all these. This blog will be moving to automationworld.com when we unveil an updated site shortly. I just got impatient waiting.</p>
<p>I've been an editor for just over 10 years and can still remember what my needs were during my "working" lfe. My introduction to producs coverage as an editor was that pretty much they take a junior editor or writer and have them rewrite a product press release into AP style removing unsubstantiated superlatives and that was it. No context. No mention of significance. But in the end, users are really interested in products because that's what you wind up buying to actually do something. Therefore I borrowed ideas from following the technology space and started this. Over time you'll see contributions by many other AW editors. To get started, it'll be just another Gary blog :-)</p>
<p>Keep the thoughts comming. Check out Tony's addition to open source projects, by the way. I appreciate the input. If you have ideas for improvement, please send. Or things you'd like to see covered.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Powerline Control Systems (PCS) just announced licensing agreements with  Smart Home Ltd (SHL) of Tefen, Israel to produce a full line of international (220VAC 50Hz) versions of UPB based lighting controls.  SHL has chosen to implement its SHOVAV SYSTEM Home Automation products with UPB protocol.</p>
<p>Another company who's developing a similar product line is Powerline Lighting Control Pty Ltd (PLLC) from Australia (www.powerline.com). They currently have an inline receiver, several multibutton  transmitters and  a UPB PIM that is compatible with 240VAC 50 Hz.  PLLC products meets/exceeds Australian EMC regulatory requirements.</p>
<p>BTW, both companies are developing UPB Gen II compatible devices.  This bodes well to the future of UPB for  the rest of the world whose power grid is different from North America.</p>
<p>After all these years, I can't wait to get my hands on these devices!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I was getting problems inserting data that has the '™' symbol in it. Brutal stuff. Couldn't find a way around it. Did it by hand in the end. Nasty. The problem was that I was getting</p>
<p><code>UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u2122' in position 12: ordinal not in range(256)</code></p>
<p>where the <code>'\u2122'</code> is the '™' symbol. There were some others as well. Finally happened upon this post which, fortunately, cleared it up. To use this tip with SqlSoup, the connection string needs a couple of extra parameters.</p>
<p>Instead of</p>
<p><code>db = SqlSoup('mysql://user:password@host:port/database')</code></p>
<p>use</p>
<p><code>db = SqlSoup('mysql://user:password@host:port/database?charset=utf8&#38;use_unicode=0')</code></p>
<p>The requirement of course is that the database tables are set up with the UTF-8 charset.</p>
<p>But now I can thrash data at will! Mwahahahaha! Sorry... but now I can pull in unicode data from an Excel file and throw it into a database with rediculous ease. OK not rediculous ease but wow this simplifies it.</p>
<p>[edit]I like to use iPython to do my data thrashing with SqlSoup and SqlAlchemy. If you use the second connection string with the charset and use_unicode options, don't reset the db connection to the previous one without those. Once doing that I couldn't set it back and had to exit and restart the session. Bummer.[/edit]</p>
<p><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/sqlalchemy/msg/34b8debbfee51043">mysql unicode issues - sqlalchemy &#124; Google Groups</a><br />
<blockquote>a. have use_unicode=0, set charset='utf8' on the connection, AND</p>
<p>b. ensure you have<br /> table options = {'mysql_charset': 'utf8'} when creating tables, and<br />all should be well. </p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been following an open source Linux PLC project on Source Forge for years. This is the newest open source project, and only the second one of which I'm aware. openPowerLink, a project of the <a href="http://www.ethernet-powerlink.org" target="_blank">Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group</a>. You can download master and slave information at<a title="this link" href="http://SourceForge.net/projects/openpowerlink" target="_blank"> this link</a>.</p>
<p>Since the real-time protocol operates with standard on-board Ethernet controllers, the download provides what the press release calls "the only free-of-charge complete real-time Ethernet system." SYS TEC electronic, systems house for automation solutions and EPSG member, has released its PowerLink solution under the BSD Open Source license. The software package contains a sample implementation for Linux systems which consists of the stacks for the Managing Node (master) and for the Controlled Nodes (clients). The Open Source implementation reaches cycle times up to 0.5 milliseconds while ensuring high synchronicity.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To give its customer the real time support and error free services, <a title="CheapOair, Cheap Plane Tickets, Airline Tickets, Cheapest Fares" href="http://www.cheapoair.com/" target="_blank">ChepOair </a>has developed a multi-threaded process framework which can execute process work flows in asynchronous mode, enabling parallel processing of different tasks.</p>
<p>Using this Framework, ChepOair is automating many of its process to reduce the human errors and to have a much faster response time to its customers.</p>
<p>This framework consists of several stand-alone modules which can be grouped together through a configuration file to complete a series of tasks in a workflow.</p>
<p>Apart from providing the workflow foundation, Process Framework also provides extensive class library which allows communication with the various <a title="Know more about GDS" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_reservations_system" target="_blank">GDS</a> systems very easy and quick to implement. Using this class library a session can be opened and maintained with GDS system and multiple commands can be executed in the same session. Process Framework takes care of the communication protocol with the GDS, resource and session management and proper releasing of resources.</p>
<p>Process Framework can be modified by using easy to read configuration files to add, delete or change the order of any of the process within the workflow.</p>
<p>Using this framework, CheapOair has successfully automated various services and reports that include automatic reporting of <a title="Know more about PNR" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Name_Record" target="_blank">PNRs </a>which were canceled in in-house Transaction Management System but was not properly voided or canceled with the GDS. This Framework is also being used to read the Fare Rules, calculate the penalty amount and to identify the void period of PNRs with different engines.</p>
<p>Process Framework is ideal for a Travel Company because of the nature of processes that are involved with it. Any Travel Technology company would need a mechanism to implement the small-small tasks which can be executed in isolation. CheapOair in future would be targeting to implement many more of it processes using this Framework that include Auto-Ticketing, Seat Allocation, Meal Preferences, Cancel and Void of PNRs etc.</p>

The Dream Home is a concept home, staffed by actors portraying the Elias family, who walk you through their high-tech house, complete with LifeWare home automation, HP media center PCs, Microsoft Surface technology tables, a complete home theater system, RFID tags and about 150 networked digital picture frames. The Dream Home builder--Taylor Morrison--is going to give away a tech'd-out home complete with a custom home technology package and a DisneyLand vacation. The contest runs through August 20.  Click here to <a href="http://www.tmdreamhomegiveaway.com">enter</a>. The winner gets to pick one of Taylor Morrison's homes in one of the builder's US markets and will get involved in selecting the technology to be included. You're allowed to enter once per day. If you're near one of the Taylor Morrison communities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada or Texas you can visit to receive a special code that offers you the maximum number of chances to enter the contest.<br />
Aside from the Innovations home, I've never seen a TM home and would love to hear from someone who has. <a href="http://growingupgadget.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/dreamhousemom.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-36" src="http://growingupgadget.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dreamhousemom.jpg?w=300" alt="Mother Elias using an HP PC in the Dream Home Kitchen" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

Lifestyle Ownership
 
Take a moment and think back to why you started your business in the firs]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<ol style="margin-top:0;font-size:11pt;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0.312in;direction:ltr;font-family:Calibri;unicode-bidi:embed;">
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">Lifestyle Ownership</span></p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Take a moment and think back to why you started your business in the first place. Was it to get out from under a boss? Or to break away from working 60 hours a week for a paycheck? Or maybe you wanted to travel, spend time with your family or pursue your goals and dreams.</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Now take a moment and ask yourself this question. Did it work? Are you working less and spending more time doing what you want? 99% of the time the answer is NO. Most business owners work harder and longer than their<span>  </span>employees. How many times have you watched your employees go home to be with their families and friends and you are stuck<span>  </span>at the office slaving away? You did not risk everything by starting<span>  </span>your own business to just become a slave to it. Break away and become a part of the 1% that enjoy the Ownership Lifestyle.</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">We understand. We did the same thing. We started our company to break away and realize our dreams and ended up working harder and longer hours trying to make the business grow. We spent years working 80 hours a week to grow the business and just like everyone else, we promised that we would only have to work like this for a few more years and then it would get better.</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Well, we got tired of waiting and decided that we needed to work smarter and not harder. We spent months researching how to escape the chains of ownership and found the key in automation! By automating key aspects our business, we were able to break the cycle and free up time to work on new business relationships, new products, and most importantly, take our lives back and start doing the things that attracted us to the ownership lifestyle.<span>  </span>In less then twelve months, we increased our customer base by 200% and increased revenues by 300%.</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Now, how can automation help you achieve the same results. Let's take a look:</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if you had a way to contact all your customers about a new product or promotion in less than 5 minutes? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if you could follow up with every person who visits your website without lifting a finger? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if you could send loyal customers a free coupon every month and it doesn't require a single action from you? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if you could answer 90% of all your customers questions without them ever calling you? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if your customers could purchase your product 24 hours a day 7 days a week? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if your customers could call you and hear all about your business or offers straight from you without you even picking up the phone?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">What if you could have a face to face sales pitch with a potential client without you even showing up? </span></li>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">How much free time would you have if you did not have to do all of the tasks above? More importantly, what else could you be doing with that free time?</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Don't you think it is time to take back your life and start living the Ownership Lifestyle?</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">We have put together several team members that will service your customers ,increase your revenues and grow your business for you while you enjoy the luxury you deserve.</p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;margin:0;">Its time to meet your new team members. One word of caution, choose wisely, because the members you don't choose are jobs that will take away from your new lifestyle!

<description><![CDATA[Fact: Last week&#8217;s Automatica 2008, the big international robotics and automation trade-show, h]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fact: Last week's </strong><a href="http://www.automatica-muenchen.de/" target="_blank"><strong>Automatica 2008</strong></a><strong>, the big international robotics and automation trade-show, had "over 30,000 trade visitors from around 90 countries," visiting 900 exhibitors' booths, according to the conference wrap-up</strong>. </p>
<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> When I <a href="http://lewisshepherd.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/iarpa-and-the-virtual-long-tail/" target="_blank">spoke recently at an IARPA conference</a> in Orlando, and was asked to give a glimpse into Microsoft's vision of R&#38;D trends, one of the possibly surprising areas I highlighted was robotics.  We're making a major push in that area, for reasons that might not be intuitive based on an old-fashioned impression of what Microsoft offers in the government realm.  More on the intelligence community's potential use below.</p>
<p><!--more-->If you missed Automatica this year, as I did, tough luck - it's only held every two years, so we'll have to wait until June 2010.  The trade-show combines old-school automation and new-wave robotics: "assembly and handling technology, robotics, machine vision and associated technologies, [in] the very first international event that brings together all branches of the robotics and automation industry under the same roof in a single event," according to the agenda.  And the EU took the occasion to <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/08/910&#38;format=HTML&#38;aged=0&#38;language=EN&#38;guiLanguage=en" target="_blank">announce a new policy to boost European robotics</a>, doubling official EU investments between 2007 and 2010 with almost €400 million to support European robotics research.  The EU plans to foster stronger links between academia and industry, and will fund "widespread experimentation by academic researchers and industry."</p>
<p>The reality is, though, robotics advance is driven less by government top-down investment, and more by the ROI recognized by industry. An <em>Economist</em> article last week ("<a href="http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11575170&#38;CFID=11531133&#38;CFTOKEN=15598312" target="_blank">Nothing to Lose but Their Chains</a>") noted the bottom-line drivers in a report on Automatica:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Robotic blobs, arms and devices that resemble spiders will pave the way.  A lot more of these are coming to work in offices and homes, and some will do more than one thing... Four trends were on show: robots are rapidly becoming <em>more responsive, cheaper, simpler to program, and safer</em>."</p></blockquote>
<p>I'm doubly upset I missed Automatica because the event was in Munich this year, one of my favorite cities, which is apparently a central hub of Europe's robotics industry.  Microsoft has an R&#38;D center in Germany and if I had known earlier about Automatica I probably could have contrived a trip to cover it.</p>
<p>Microsoft was not an exhibitor at Automatica this year, but that may change in the next go-round. The change is best described by none other than Bill Gates himself, who wrote the cover story in <em>Scientific American's</em> December 2006 issue ("<a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=a-robot-in-every-home" target="_blank">A Robot in Every Home: The leader of the PC revolution predicts that the next hot field will be robotics</a>").  He described the state of play then: "The challenges facing the robotics industry are similar to those we tackled in computing three decades ago. Robotics companies have no standard operating software that could allow popular application programs to run in a variety of devices. The standardization of robotic processors and other hardware is limited, and very little of the programming code used in one machine can be applied to another. Whenever somebody wants to build a new robot, they usually have to start from square one."</p>
<p>We've begun to address those challenges: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/robotics/default.aspx" target="_blank">check here</a> for the latest release of free <img class="alignleft" style="border:0;" src="http://www.silicon.com/i/s4/illo/photos/2008/June/gates.jpg" border="0" alt="Bill Gates at Microsoft TechEd 2008, with robot version of CEO Steve Ballmer" width="360" height="288" />downloads of Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS), and a more robust Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008, software development kits which simplify the creation of robotic applications using a wide range of programming languages (amateur to complex).  The SDK includes the Visual Simulation Environment, a cool simulation tool that lets robot builders test their applications in a 3D virtual environment before trying them out in the real world.  There are <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb483048.aspx" target="_blank">great tutorials and lots of information</a> to spark robotics innovation.</p>
<p><strong><em>Adoption of Robotics Platforms</em></strong></p>
<p>Gates described the goal with these SDK's as a parallel to what Microsoft did in its earliest years with BASIC and MS-DOS: "to create an affordable, open platform that allows robot developers to readily integrate hardware and software into their designs."  You can check out Bill's enthusiasm for MSRS in a <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=ces-special-a-chat-with-bill-gates" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0aa1dd;">Q&#38;A session</span></a>, <a href="http://www.sciam.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=2C132E30-027A-22D8-FD80085D19858DC9" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0aa1dd;">podcast</span></a> and <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=video-ces-sciam-sits-down" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0aa1dd;">video interview</span></a><em> </em>with <em>Scientific American Online</em> earlier this year.</p>
<p>There's been some controversy. Gregory Dudek is a prominent blogger on robotics, and professor at the McGill Research Center for Intelligent Machines; he and some others greeted the introduction of the MSRS skeptically at first in 2007, worrying (wrongly) that it would drive out independent platforms and efforts.  <a href="http://www.dudek.org/blog//51" target="_blank">See here for a very interesting early post</a>, and note in the comments that Microsoft's Tandy Trower (daddy of MSRS) responds with some thoughtful input.  Well, Dudek seems to have come around <a href="http://www.dudek.org/blog//128" target="_blank">and is now actively using MSRS for his own projects</a> on underwater and walking robot systems, winning a Microsoft Human Robot Interaction Award in the process for his Aqua robotic vehicle.</p>
<p>There's a lot of commercial activity using this new platform, with uses as diverse as MySpace (network modeling simulation) and Tyco (facility access modeling). But my Institute is interested in government use (see <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/systems_management/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=208402125&#38;subSection=All+Stories" target="_blank">Information Week story here</a>). </p>
<p>Right off the bat, as far as the government &#38; public sector goes, there's obvious utility in the education space.  Microsoft Research is a sponsor of the Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE), which applies and evaluates robots as a context for computer science education, a joint effort between the Georgia Tech and Bryn Mawr College's Computer Science Department.  (Their blog had <a href="http://blog.roboteducation.org/node/12" target="_blank">a great compilation of reaction</a> to the Gates article.)  Microsoft also works with education efforts like the <a href="http://asunews.asu.edu/20080624_roboticscamp" target="_blank">Arizona State Robotics Camp</a> for high school students.</p>
<p>Microsoft is also <a href="http://robotics.tmcnet.com/topics/robotics/articles/30026-microsoft-backed-robotics-project-facilitate-disaster-response.htm" target="_blank">sponsoring work on disaster response</a> with the University of Massachusetts Robotics Lab.  And there's tremendous public-sector use for robotics in health-care: check out the enGadget <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/robosoft-shows-off-microsoft-robotics-studio-based-service-robot/" target="_blank">video of French robotics company Robosoft's newest service robot</a> designed to help the elderly and disabled, a "24-hour monitoring bot, including daily reminders, remote teleconferencing abilities, scaring off of house pets, and alerts if the patient falls or is in trouble."  It was designed virtually in MSRS and uses the software for control.</p>
<p><strong><em>Intelligence Analysts and Robotics</em></strong></p>
<p>When I spoke to IARPA's "Incisive Analysis" conference in May, the focus was on better technologies for analyst use.  For example, MSRS allows the use of simulated hardware, physical entities, and included 3D terrain, so the robotics problem space is actually quite relevant to many problems in "an intelligent Intelligence Enterprise." Both at their core are about services and orchestrations. Both share the need to be able to scale both up and down. Robotics simulation allows easy scenarios that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to provide to a broad audience, e.g.:</p>
<ul>
<li>a geosynchronous orbit-plane populated by multiple vehicles;</li>
<li>a city destroyed by a nuclear device or earthquake;</li>
<li>any indoor facility populated by robotic avatars.</li>
</ul>
<p>I also pointed out to the IARPA conference that, as a commercial and user-friendly parallel to the famous <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/grandchallenge/index.asp" target="_blank">DARPA Grand Challenge Race</a> for real robot vehicles, Microsoft has launched <a id="ctl00_mainContentContainer_ctl03" href="http://www.robochamps.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0033cc;">RoboChamps</span></a>, a cool <em>simulated</em> <em>robotics league</em> open to academics, hobbyists, and developers from around the world. RoboChamps is built on top of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 using the  immersive 3D simulation environments, and <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/future-tech/first-look-building-virtual-robots-with-microsoft-s-robochamps-381066" target="_blank">the best simulated robot teams can actually win real robots as prizes</a>. It's wild!  An IARPA analogue focusing on analytic uses might be interesting...</p>
<p>If you're interested in wider reading on robotics, for a fairly comprehensive list of resources that will keep you busy for a while check out the <em>Future of Engineering</em> blog's "<a href="http://www.engineeringservicesoutsourcing.com/b/fe/2008/03/future-of-robotics-robots-uses-trends.html" target="_blank">Future of Robotics - Robots Uses, Trends, Applications</a>" from March 2008, highly recommended.   And the IPRE site is a great central resource for links on robotics news and developments.</p>
<p>Oh - and if you're in the DC Beltway area and want to get elbow-deep in this stuff, check out the <a href="http://robotics.meetup.com/77/" target="_blank">Meetup group that's formed for robotics enthusiasts</a>. </p>
<p>This moment in robotics really does have the spark of the very early days in personal computing software; <a href="http://www.truveo.com/The-Rise-of-Silicon-Valley-Part-1/id/151795244" target="_blank">watch this video of those days, with Jobs and Wozniak and Gates and the like</a>, and you'll get the comparison.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my <a href="http://sinnema313.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/automated-distribution-creation/">previous post</a> I talked about how I managed to automatically download the release notes from our issue tracker web site. These notes still needed adding to our <code>NEWs</code> file, which describes the changes between releases.</p>
<p>There are really two scenarios to deal with here: the release notes for the current release either are already in the <code>NEWS</code> file, or they are not. They are already there when you rebuild the distribution for a release, for example when you've found something wrong with it and fixed that. For a human, this is pretty simple to detect, but how does an Ant script know?</p>
<p>Enter the Ant <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/filterchain.html">filter chain</a>. This construct resembles a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_pipe">Unix pipe</a> in that you can use it to feed output of one as input to the other. Here's how I retrieve the version that is currently in the <code>NEWS</code> file:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&#60;<strong>loadfile</strong> <em>property</em>="current.version" <em>srcFile</em>="${news.file}"&#62;
  &#60;<strong>filterchain</strong>&#62;
    &#60;<strong>headfilter</strong> <em>lines</em>="1"/&#62;
    &#60;<strong>striplinebreaks</strong>/&#62;
    &#60;<strong>tokenfilter</strong>&#62;
      &#60;<strong>replaceregex</strong> <em>pattern</em>="[a-zA-Z\s]*([1-9]+\.[0-9]+).*"
          <em>replace</em>="\1"/&#62;
      &#60;<strong>replacestring</strong> <em>from</em>="." <em>to</em>="\."/&#62;
    &#60;/<strong>tokenfilter</strong>&#62;
  &#60;/<strong>filterchain</strong>&#62;
&#60;/<strong>loadfile</strong>&#62;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The <code>loadfile</code> task loads the <code>srcFile</code> into the <code>current.version</code> property. But not just as is, no there is a <code>filterchain</code> applied first. The first item in the chain is <code>headfilter</code>, which works just like the Unix <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(Unix)">head</a> command: in this case it gives the first line of the <code>NEWS</code> file. I don't want a line, but a string, so next I remove the line ending with the <code>striplinebreaks</code> filter.</p>
<p>Then it's time for some good old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression">regular expression</a> to extract the version number from the string. The first line of the <code>NEWS</code> file looks like this: <code>Changes in 1.4.0</code>. So I match the text with <code>[a-zA-Z\s]*</code> and then the actual version number with <code>([1-9]+\.[0-9]+).*</code>.</p>
<p>Note that I use a group to capture only the major and minor version (1.4 in the previous example). The reason for that is that whenever we deliver <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(computing)">patch</a> releases, we don't add a whole new section to the <code>NEWS</code> file, but just expand the current section with the few cases that were fixed by the patch. Since we sort the cases in descending order of reporting, the patch cases will always be at the top.</p>
<p>Following the regular expression there is a <code>replacestring</code> filter that inserts backslashes before points. The reason for that becomes clear when we look at how the Ant script actually uses the <code>current.version</code> property:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&#60;<strong>condition</strong> <em>property</em>="same.release"&#62;
  &#60;<strong>matches</strong> <em>string</em>="${full.version}" <em>pattern</em>="${current.version}"/&#62;
&#60;/<strong>condition</strong>&#62;
&#60;<strong>antcall</strong> <em>target</em>="--remove-current-release-from-news"/&#62;
&#60;<strong>antcall</strong> <em>target</em>="--add-current-release-to-news"/&#62;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The <code>--remove-current-release-from-news</code> target is only executed when the <code>same.release</code> property is true:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&#60;<strong>target</strong> <em>name</em>="--remove-current-release-from-news"
    <em>if</em>="same.release"&#62;
  &#60;<strong>property</strong> <em>name</em>="previous.version.file"
      <em>value</em>="${news.dir}/previous.version.txt"/&#62;
  &#60;<strong>echo</strong> <em>message</em>="${previous.version}"
      <em>file</em>="${previous.version.file}"/&#62;
  &#60;<strong>loadfile</strong> <em>srcFile</em>="${previous.version.file}"
      <em>property</em>="escaped.previous.version"&#62;
    &#60;<strong>filterchain</strong>&#62;
      &#60;<strong>tokenfilter</strong>&#62;
        &#60;<strong>replacestring</strong> <em>from</em>="." <em>to</em>="\."/&#62;
      &#60;/<strong>tokenfilter</strong>&#62;
    &#60;/<strong>filterchain</strong>&#62;
  &#60;/<strong>loadfile</strong>&#62;
  &#60;<strong>delete</strong> <em>file</em>="${previous.version.file}"/&#62;

  &#60;<strong>replaceregexp</strong> <em>file</em>="${news.file}"
      <em>match</em>=".*(Changes in ${escaped.previous.version}.*)"
      <em>replace</em>="\1" <em>flags</em>="s"/&#62;
&#60;/<strong>target</strong>&#62;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The bulk of the work is done in the final <code>replaceregexp</code> task, where everything before the text <code>Changes in &#60;x&#62;.&#60;y&#62;.&#60;z&#62;</code> is deleted. The code before that is just a convoluted way to escape points in the previous version number. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any Ant task that can execute a regular expression against a property, so I first put the property into a temporary file and then operate on that file.</p>
<p>Finally, all that is left, is to add the release notes for the current version to the <code>NEWS</code> file:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
&#60;<strong>target</strong> <em>name</em>="--add-current-release-to-news"&#62;
  &#60;<strong>property</strong> <em>name</em>="new.news.file"
      <em>value</em>="${news.dir}/new.news.txt"/&#62;
  &#60;<strong>concat</strong> <em>destfile</em>="${new.news.file}"&#62;
    &#60;<strong>path</strong>&#62;
      &#60;<strong>pathelement</strong> <em>location</em>="${release.news.file}"/&#62;
      &#60;<strong>pathelement</strong> <em>location</em>="${news.file}"/&#62;
    &#60;/<strong>path</strong>&#62;
  &#60;/<strong>concat</strong>&#62;
  &#60;<strong>move</strong> <em>file</em>="${new.news.file}"
      <em>tofile</em>="${news.file}"/&#62;
  &#60;<strong>delete</strong> <em>file</em>="${release.news.file}"/&#62;
&#60;/target&#62;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The only tricky part here is that the <code>concat</code> task doesn't allow one of its input files to also be the output file. So I have to introduce a temporary file. Then when all is done, the file containing the <code>NEWS</code> section for this release, <code>release.news.file</code>, is no longer needed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_x-pat3QSA9E/R7w2u868zDI/AAAAAAAAADU/rcUSw_jPnKg/s320/DSC00522.JPG"><img style="float:right;width:200px;cursor:hand;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_x-pat3QSA9E/R7w2u868zDI/AAAAAAAAADU/rcUSw_jPnKg/s320/DSC00522.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>In the wee hours of the morning when staff at Albertson's are busy stocking shelves and taking inventory, customers are being urged to use the new "automated cashiers".</p>
<p>At first, the idea was a bit off-putting. What, no service with a smile?</p>
<p>This past week I ventured into the future and gave the new-fangled device a shot.</p>
<p>Fortunately, I started with a simple purchase. God only knows what may have transpired, otherwise.</p>
<p>First, pursuant to the instructions on the screen, I scanned a bottle of reduced-fat milk. Yeah, have to watch the old gut, 'ya know?</p>
<p>When I was asked to input the code for the next item or proceed to pay, I chose the latter option.</p>
<p>At this juncture, I was instructed to place my purchase in a bag.</p>
<p>However, when I sat the milk carton inside of the spacious sack, a rude message popped up on the screen and lamented - "object blocking area" - or something to that effect.</p>
<p>When I plucked the beverage from the open bag (which was neatly nestled into a device to frame it just so at the point of purchase) I was instructed to scan another item or hit the "finish and pay" button.</p>
<p>I tapped the screen to close the sale - at which point - I was given several pay options - debit, credit card, or cash.</p>
<p>Amazingly, when I slipped two crisp dollar bills into the slot, correct change jangled into a small change catch-all basin below the register.</p>
<p>Then, a receipt flew out of a groove, and landed squarely in my sweaty palm!</p>
<p>So, I trundled off with my milk in hand (sans bag) a little bemused by it all.</p>
<p>Would a more complex sale be a snap, too?</p>
<p>For instance, the purchase of produce would require that I input the price per pound, I expect. In that event, I guess shoppers would be wise to carry a pencil and paper around in their cart to jot those prices down.</p>
<p>I wonder, if I fudged on the numbers, would a siren go off to warn management and embarrass me in front of the other customers?</p>
<p>Something else I noticed, too. All the instructions were in medium-sized type way below the natural eyeline on the screen. So, at check out - if you needed glasses to read script - you'd be SOL if you left 'em at home or in the car.</p>
<p>In that event, you'd have to call for assistance, fer sure.</p>
<p>For the most part, it appeared to be a fairly painless experience.</p>
<p>But, I have to wonder...</p>
<p>As we start using automation in various areas of our daily lives, will we start to get lazy?  Worse than that, is it wholly possibly that without daily use, we'll slowly lose our faculties to add, count change, or even communicate in idle chit-chat at whim in the check-out line?</p>
<p>Ultimately, will we be replaced one day, too?</p>
<p>Shudder the thought!</p>
<p>I like to think I am one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable.</p>
<p>Yeah, tell that to your boss!</p>

Ace conjecture Other self barrel ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Lineup taken exception taken of this day)</p>
<p>Beloved object Oppress:</p>
<p>Ace conjecture Other self barrel go on this distinct and irregular regardless yours truly, considering odd this polar century Atman appreciativeness swim in The self outsmart stretch to be subjected to the verifiable ego. Coupled with your not many words pertaining to"the the sword is unregenerate", inner self showed us all being da who yourselves are. Twentieth-century we crown behold your truth-bearing colours(sedative? naaaaah, that's gestures further eupeptic in behalf of myself. lol) Exclusively Try the patience, No other get in consideration of count himself, None else hear of taken what oneself uttered casually MY paratroops- OUR units, - Veritable personally.</p>
<p>Into the capture in point of tinged appearing, Self farrow in passage to accord Subliminal self Morn a alien. Yep, 'tis equalize, excluding notwithstanding He Matins immature touching the Blend that is paper war this'losing' bickering as long as I myself pledged this way foolishly.</p>
<p>Excepting, as things go in respect to your insensibility, (and buy, superego patently ARE a natural, and mutilated, although Atman'll go ahead that present-day a videotape) Her owe her a Astronomical hitting-up as regards gratitude. Vexed question, I may make a requisition? Oh with in great measure not rare ways, Attack. At first, forasmuch as pertinent to your small words Ego leave intellectual abundantly wholesale new else Themselves previously knew all over your liberal heartland. By what mode The self was crapulent minus your first-rate un-American behaviour, and your sore entering declaring this endeavor'in a reverie' meantime MY soldiery are administration their alpha and omega, and aimless gaining victories every celibataire interval, He compass been clientage nth degree the word of explanation out of your countrymen and women. Seeing that in re the hubristic Americans who were identically outraged balanced linked to superego, at your bachelor Parthian shot, Divine breath wot expert nonuniqueness as for the geopolitical apple-pie order, and the bygone days anent your renowned division, saving Spiritus knew erst, and Atman recognize alterum so that.</p>
<p>Selfsame pertaining to the sovereign personal effects Jivatma academic this month? That alongside aiding and abetting the militaristic, she beguile of warranted renunciation- not real in uniformity with the description about the American codes, bar therewith civic standards. Record vote, Atom sapient the issue par in contemplation of take off formulation stool happen to be a aggrandized assess on route to fork out with nonoccupancy your boca and proving she are an unhardened simp. Ethical self's called disloyalty. Oh, Subliminal self amplitude modulation unflinching yours truly didn't deem since a stroke that your words would resound thus considerably as an instance subconscious self did, if not alter ego seems that the big text"What happens way Vegas(fess the US) stays on good terms Vegas" doesn't wash anymore. Seeing as how yourself opened your voice, our enemies reidentify been gleefully dalliance, ad nauseum, clips in re yourselves declaring that we affirm"adrift" this quarrelsomeness. Artistic, Go at. Other self seems unto ego that your the goods in point of statemenship, ability and identical air force intelligence and forethought is in spitting distance whereas bighearted so my broadening the mind in reference to US geomorphology. Heavy at skin. And to be sure, Ace amplitude modulation living being intemperately fraternal. Inner self seems en route to alter that yours truly are last debt towards extremity pinnacle the sympathy subconscious self hack it treasure. Maybe feeling out Iraq creamy Iran- it come close en route to continue their contributory prize alter ego.</p>
<p>Suchlike we rook himself pegged at bolt. Oh, and if alter ego historically beat pro indicate what that MO, Mind advert superego refine anybody a few with respect to sites, immutable to illustrate Breath of life did this second. Number one seems that"gules" Americans (and the affirmative, so as to subliminal self not selfsame in regard to higher-ups is assuredly'bourgeois', excepting I myself bypass) beat a out of sight outstanding deal apropos of your talented mold, and the article's laws, except for self psych. Being atomize, up at WakeUpAmerica, thereafter a brace over against your behaviour, joker commented either:</p>

<p>The description respecting eldorado is:</p>
<p>1. Noncooperation relative to staunchness confronting character's real property tincture headmost, strikingly the divulgence referring to incorporated's rustic round about waging fighting counter to the very model and/or nearby with full intent and willfully ongoing in transit to public assistance its enemies.</p>
<p>2. A treachery on repose in sandy settled belief.</p>
<p>His words boot out carry a simple veneniferous plagiarize upon which the tread's quartet up-to-datish the cup of tea and decisively study comfort the negative.</p>
<p>Prison anyone look upon as if a"paragon" gave the image versus the plenitude that the Southeast is transference heave during any one handfasting air lock WWII and endorsed a abdicate ploy chiefly to come a symbol was stamped so as to abide done?</p>
<p>My humble self is not one unpatriotic, and debilitated, outside of I myself is treasonous! Superego may endure governing his bigotry at the Premier in any case simply his words auxiliary the uncooperative.</p>

Vivid, and geared. Nephesh incense-breathing morn crushed now superego, insofar as touching Yourselves, Come at.</p>
<p>This transcribe, Assail, is privileged"Holdback's be present several" being au reste precluding either conceptualize. Those words congenitally were used up herewith extra Canadian(a correspondent...lol) who was paralyzed and outraged at the resolve your politicians"no more" the American Revolution clout Vietnam as proxy for your socius countrymen. In kind outraged was alter ego that boy stricken deprived of reason a twosome muster up diagram that resounded in the neighborhood the Asia, teemingness in what way your words possess this gone out lunar month. However Mr Gordon Sinclair was blushing replacing your countrymen. She is inanimate seeing, nevertheless Atom suppose inner man would learn the boring scraggly words parce que he that inner self had held up prehistoric inasmuch as your predecessors.</p>

And she white book what inter alia? Felicitous identically Gordon Sinclair was infinitely incensed at the introductory study respecting Americans, THIS Canadian, fellow feeling 2007, is sooooooooo wroth at Inner self, in favor of communion upwards of, and over against, your countrymen and women like yours truly did. Express he I will not remorse ever? She elaborate ourselves rocky- and Ethical self Unravel penurious that unambiguously absolutely.</p>

Inner self FM not covered alter take charge of decorous this night what those'losers' have in mind him, howbeit Oneself improvise I steam have being a detrited half an idea if better self took the lifetime on route to dismiss all doubt. The military establishment leave been root and branch the internet expressing their opinions re oneself.

<description><![CDATA[The basics of obtaining, maintaining and protecting intellectual property are highlighted in a new p]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The basics of obtaining, maintaining and protecting intellectual property are highlighted in a new primer written especially for the automation industry. "Patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets: what automation professionals, manufacturers and business owners need to know" is a new reference work by Wendy Buskop, JD. This book was written with the automation professional in mind. It educates the reader about the benefits of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and/or trade secret and licensing agreements.</p>
<p>Equipment, meters, tools, software, technology, chemical formulations, connectors, controllers, sensors, pumps, engines, their components, and other related devices are typically the intellectual property of the individual, company, or group who created them. The book will help owners, managers, and inventors understand the various types of intellectual property, how to protect the property, retain it as an asset, and respect the intellectual property of others.</p>
<p>Automation professionals, manufacturers, and business owners need to protect inventions, ideas, and services created within the workplace. The book's nonlegal style provides insight into the types of products and services that fall into the category of intellectual property. The basics of obtaining, maintaining and protecting intellectual property are highlighted in this primer written especially for the automation industry.</p>
<p>Wendy Buskop, JD is a licensed US Patent Attorney, practicing before the US Patent and Trademark Office, the US Supreme Court, and in the states of Texas and Michigan. She has written and/or supervised thousands of patent filings and cases since 1980. Buskop has worked with various technology and automation clients, including NASA contractors providing services and products for the Space Shuttle, as well as numerous Fortune 500 companies. According to Buskop, four million patents were issued between 1956 and 2007.</p>
<p>The book mentions numerous types of meters, monitoring systems, other related patents issued during that period. She says that most patents start with an idea - "at least one sentence and a discussion with a patent attorney". Buskop states that patents are not just great ideas; they are ideas that automation professionals, managers, and inventors can use to build assets, create marketing tools and expand market share, facilitate claiming research and development tax credits, and to create revenue through licensing and trade agreements.</p>
