Further, the Omni II has a built-in serial interface that allows for connection to the Internet via HAI s Web-Link II, personal computer, touch screens, voice recognition, and home theater controls. Additionally, the Omni II can be accessed via telephone (either within the home or calling in to the system) to allow additional accessibility. When an event is triggered, a built-in digital communicator can send alarms to a central station and up to eight additional telephone numbers for voice notification. The Omni II is geared for homes and small businesses and is the middle child of HAI s Omni home security line (sandwiched between the OmniPro II and the Omni LT series). For comparison s sake, Table 6-1 shows these different systems and what they offer.

where w is the constant input angular velocity of the shaft. Integrating Eq. (12.21) gives the nominal displacement at the roller s = w R(q ) tan adt .

Connecting a filter to a scorecard is simple, because the scorecard is designed as normal and nothing special has to be done. Reports, on the other hand, require the creation of a parameter in the report. The filter on the dashboard is then linked to the parameter on the report in order to connect them. Earlier in the chapter there was a Quantity Sold report that showed the order quantity for products across eight quarters. When this report is viewed in the designer, the Design tab shows three items at the bottom of the page: Series, Bottom Axis, and Background. Remember that the background item is often used to filter the report. In this case, because the users want to be able to filter by products, the designer would drag the Product Categories hierarchy into the Background box. There are actually two approaches to what happens next. The first, and easiest approach, is to do almost nothing. In other words, after dragging the Product Categories into the background, the report can be published without any further changes. Once the report is placed on a dashboard, the Member UniqueName is dragged from the filter and dropped onto the report, and the Edit Filter Link dialog box appears. All of the hierarchies are shown as possible endpoints, and the developer can simply choose Product Categories and be done. A more manual approach is for the developer to add Product Categories to the Background box and then go to the Query tab where the MDX syntax for the query is shown. Adding a dimension to the Background box adds a WHERE clause to the MDX query. In this case, the added WHERE clause is

If you lack the necessary prerequisites to be familiar with or to feel comfortable with the preceding discussion, then I highly recommend you begin with Physics Demystified by Stan Gibilisco. Alternatively (or additionally) you may prefer Chemistry Demystified by Linda Williams. If you have a strong preference to start with physics or chemistry, then by all means go with your natural inclination.

MetaFrame Presentation Server XP 1.0 with Feature Release 3 and later supports USB printers installed on the server. Win32 ICA Clients support installed USB printers when the client platform is Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows Me. Other USB devices, including scanners and cameras, are not currently supported by MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 and older. Presentation Server 4.0 now offers support for Activesync via USB devices and support for TWAIN-compliant scanners through the newly added feature of TWAIN redirection. For more information about USB support, refer to Citrix knowledgebase article CTX816193, USB Support in MetaFrame Products.

As noted earlier most persons rightly consider the wide bandwidth of , optical fiber as the key advantage associated with an optical transmission system. Because the information transmission capacity of a communications system is directly proportional to bandwidth, the high frequency of light makes it possible to transmit data at extremely high rates. While gigabit data transmission rates are a common capability on optical fiber, research indicates that operating rates up to and beyond 1014 bits/s can be achieved on fiber-optic transmission systems. When compared to the 56-kbit/s rate on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the approximate 1-Mbit/s rate supported by an asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL), it is easy to visualize how optical fiber provides many magnitudes of capacity enhancement over conventional copper cable. This explains why a thin glass fiber can easily transmit hundreds of thousands to millions of telephone conversations simultaneously. While this is certainly a valid reason for communications carriers migrating their backbone infrastructure to optical fiber it also pro, vides the rationale for the use of fiber in numerous other applications.

The structure corresponding to the char type is Char. It is quite useful because it supplies a large number of methods that allow you to process and categorize characters. For example, you can convert a lowercase character to uppercase by calling ToUpper( ). You can determine if a character is a digit by calling IsDigit( ). The methods defined by Char are shown in Table 21-9. Notice that several, such as ConvertFromUtf32( ) and ConvertToUtf32( ), give you the ability to work with both UTF-16 and UTF-32 Unicode characters. In the past, all Unicode characters could be represented by 16 bits, which is the size of a char. However, a few years ago the Unicode character set was expanded and more than 16 bits are required. Each Unicode character is represented by a code point. The way that a code point is encoded depends on the Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) being used. In UTF-16, the most common code points require one 16-bit value, but some need two 16-bit values. When two 16-bit values are needed, two char values are used to represent it. The first character is called the high surrogate and the second is called the low surrogate. In UTF-32, each code point uses one 32-bit value. Char provides the necessary conversions between UTF-16 and UTF-32. One other point about the Char methods. The default forms of ToUpper( ) and ToLower( ) use the current cultural settings to determine how to upper- or lowercase a character. At the time of this writing, the recommended style is to explicitly specify the cultural setting by using a second form of these methods that has a CultureInfo parameter. CultureInfo is in System.Globalization. You can pass the property CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to specify the current culture. Char defines the following fields: public const char MaxValue public const char MinValue These represent the largest and smallest values that a char variable can hold. Char implements the following interfaces: IComparable, IComparable<char>, IConvertible, and IEquatable<char>.

tion greater than the negative acceleration will reduce the nose stresses and the size of the compression spring needed. Hertz indicated the stress distribution of two contacting cylinders; as shown in Fig. 9.4a with perfect alignment of the contacting bodies, we see that the surface compressive stress is a maximum at the center of the contact area and decreases to zero at the ends. The area of contact of the two cylinders is rectangular. However, the de ection and misalignment of the cam shaft will cause additional stresses. Fig. 9.4b shows this extreme stress condition. Some manufacturers alleviate this condition in roller followers by grinding a crown on the roller surface. The automobile cam has a taper ground on its surface of a few thousandths of an inch over the cam width to give a more uniform stress distribution to compensate for the camshaft de ection. For the at-faced follower the designer should substitute in Eq. (9.11) its radius of curvature rf equal to in nity. Also, the value of the thickness th depends on the rigidity of the cam shaft and its misalignment. For automotive applications, the stress value of tn no greater than 1/2 in is usually appropriate. For a similar relatively exible cam shaft, the value of th 1/2 in should be applied to Eq. (9.11). The designer should decide the proper value according to the rigidity of his system. The disk cam with spherical or crown-face follower of dissimilar metals has a maximum compressive stress (Thomas and Hoerch [1930] and Turkish [1946]) 2 1 + r f rc 0.0469 P1 3 . = 0.237 2 1 - m2 1 - mc f rf + 1 + E Ef rc e
