I have never attended a performance at the American Players Theatre. For those that are unfamiliar, the American Players Theatre is an outdoor theatre nestled in woods about an hour west of Madison, just outside Spring Green, Wisconsin. While I have known about the theatre for some time, I never really had any intention of attending a performance at the complex. With many options for live theatre in Madison, I figured I can always look locally and save myself the long trip if I ever had the desire to attend a play. Of course, this perspective changes when I found myself in a scenario where I was at a loss for today’s “I have never...” event after a schedule change caused my original plans for today to go awry. Luckily a friend of mine, Allison, had made me aware of an extra ticket she had to attend Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead at the American Players Theatre tonight. In turn, I took her up on her offer and prepared to gain a new and unexpected experience attending a show I had never seen at the American Players Theatre tonight.
After finishing my workday, I immediately started the journey to the theatre. While I didn’t initially look forward to spending an hour on the road after a long day at work, the drive was actually quite relaxing and felt surprisingly brief. From my office my route took me down less traveled highways north of Madison that meandered through the hills and bluffs of southwestern Wisconsin. Against the backdrop of a late summer evening sun, the landscapes provided beautiful scenery that kept me occupied for the length of the trip. As a result, I found myself turning into the American Players Theatre parking lot much sooner than I had expected. Fortunately, the sights around me on the trip made the hour of travel seem much more like 20 or 30 minutes, which was a welcomed occurrence on such a full day.
Upon arriving at the theatre I met up with Allison and a few of her friends just before the performance began. Together we walked up a small path ascending a hill in the middle of the woods until we came upon a massive structure built into the terrain. After taking a quick look around the area, we made our way to the main aisles for the theatre seating. As we moved to find our seats, the sight of the theatre was incredible. Constructed entirely of wood, the theatre rested in a pocket of dense forest filled with the sounds of birds signing and cicadas buzzing. The rows of seats arching before the performance area sat embedded in the hillside and tapered down to a tiered stage backed by three distinct walls. At first glance it was obvious the American Players Theatre was a highly distinct performance area that would likely provide a highly memorable experience. Before the play had begun I was already happy I had made the trip.
Minutes after we took our seats a final announcement rang out over a set of loudspeakers before the lights dimmed and the play began. As the actors took the stage, I didn’t know quite what to expect from the forthcoming performance. After all, I had little background on the plot of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead outside of the program we received upon arriving at the theatre. I knew it took place behind the scenes of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and I knew it was a relatively recent work. Otherwise, I was in the dark on the specifics. Once the play began it quickly became obvious I was in for a treat. Humor remained a common thread as we watched the story of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern develop while the story of Hamlet unfolded somewhere off stage. At first confused as to who they were, where they were, and why they were there, the two men struggled to put together shards of details they could hardly recall. Eventually, the introduction of other characters in the story assisted them in their efforts until they were finally drawn into Hamlet by the actions of the royal family and Hamlet himself. As the story progressed, I found the balance between the two stories highly amusing. The actors would move in and out of Lambic Pentameter as they transitioned from passing scenes in Hamlet back to their sideline efforts to put the pieces of their story together.

As the play moved to its second half, the persistence of uncertainty and the confusion that came with their role managing Hamlet’s mania began to weigh on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the humor of the work remained, it quickly became clear the story was being drawn toward and ultimate conclusion. After a story of foresight from a hilarious (and very, very open) acting troop, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern started to realize the inevitable conclusion of their roles in the story of Hamlet, which sent the duo into a scattered state in an effort to find a way out of the drama and madness that followed Hamlet. Despite their efforts, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern eventually found themselves on a boat bound for England with nothing left to do but face their collective fate. With a bit of hesitance and ultimate acceptance, the two fulfilled their role in the story of Hamlet and made true the title of the play that bears their names. In the final scene, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s actions fell back into place in the final act of Hamlet before the curtain fell. While the ending left questions unanswered, it felt right; at least for the story of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
|At the end...|
At the conclusion of the play our group headed back down the wooded trail and started making our way back home. On the drive back I rehashed my first experience at the American Players Theatre and my first experience with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Considering the unique setting and the entertainment value of the play, I was quick to conclude today’s “I have never...” event was time well spent. Although the theatre was out of the way, making the trip was well worth the experience, and for that, I’m grateful. After tonight’s experience I can say two things. First, I would gladly go back to the American Players Theatre in the future. It’s simply a great place to escape and see some quality performers do their thing. Second, after Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead I should probably see Hamlet so I can put everything in context. I guess I will just have to add that goal to the “I Have Never...” list!

The third, a tig welder tried to fix it but with the close setup of the two brackets means you cannot fit the hand piece into the correct postion or close enough, he chased the crack so we gave up, so I did try and get it sorted locally with no fuss and at my cost.
Anyway thanks to CJs contacting me tonight it looks like we are all sorted.
.. and yes that IS worth making a mention about CJ's having customer service that does go the extra mile, that reflects well for them and they now know there is an issue which will hopefully pay dividends for future riders through lesser problems.

WEDNESDAY’S CAMPAIGN ROUND-UP…. Today’s installment of campaign-related news items that wouldn’t generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers.
* Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley won the Democratic Senate primary yesterday, in the race to fill the vacancy left by Ted Kennedy. With nearly all of the precincts reporting, Coakley led the multi-candidate field with 47% support, followed by Rep. Michael Capuana with 28%.
* On a related note, Massachusetts state Senator Scott Brown easily won the Republican Senate primary, defeating a lesser-known businessman by 77%. Brown will face Coakley in a Jan. 19 special election, and Coakley will be the heavy favorite.
* In Connecticut, the latest Rasmussen poll shows Sen. Chris Dodd (D) continuing to struggle the year before his re-election bid. He now trails former Rep. Rob Simmons (R) by 13 points, 48% to 35%. Dodd also trails wrestling executive Linda McMahon (R) by six, 44% to 38%.
* Speaking of Dodd, there have been some rumors that the senator and former presidential candidate may retire, facing long odds. People close to Dodd say those rumors aren’t true.
* The AFL-CIO has thrown its support to Alexi Giannoulias’ (D) Senate campaign in Illinois. His primary is in February.
* Not quite one year into her first term, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue’s (D) polling numbers are suffering badly. A new statewide poll says only 20% of North Carolinians would like to see her get a second term. She has three years to change some minds.
* Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R) was expected to run for Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s (R-Texas) Senate seat, but announced yesterday that he will instead seek re-election to his current job.
* Now that Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki (R) has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing — he faced felony charges on alleged corruption — will he renew plans to run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)? Apparently not.
* And following up on an item from yesterday, Florida state Sen. Al Lawson (D) apparently intends to stay in the race against U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.), despite his lack of funds for the primary.

Wigan Athletic are to carry out a full investigation into the scenes that following last night’s victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup.
Following the final whistle some Wigan fans went onto the pitch to celebrate and appeared to be involved in an altercation with the Manchester City striker,Sergio Aguero.
However, shortly after, a small number of fans in the away end became aggressive and started damaging the advertising boards.
In a statement the club said:
“Following Monday night’s enthralling victory over Manchester City in the Emirates FA Cup, the club were disappointed to see supporters encroach the pitch at the final whistle.”
Chief Executive Jonathan Jackson commented: “Whilst we appreciate that the vast majority of supporters who ran on to the pitch did so spontaneously to celebrate a famous victory, we were disappointed with the action of a minority of supporters who acted in an inappropriate manner. Player and staff safety is of paramount importance and we will conduct a full investigation.
“However, it is important to not let the actions of a few supporters detract from an incredible night at the DW Stadium. A special atmosphere was created by both sets of supporters and the match was yet another memorable day in the history of Wigan Athletic.”
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that two people were arrested on suspicion of affray following an incident outside the ground and remain in custody.
No injuries have been reported and GMP are working with Wigan Athletic to establish the full circumstances around this incident.
Chief Superintendent Stuart Ellison of GMP’s Territorial Commander for Wigan, said: “Football is a family event and the disruption that players and fans alike faced last night, will not be tolerated.
“As soon as people were on the pitch, we immediately deployed our resources to the front of the stands, where they were able to keep the two groups of supporters apart and prevent any further disruption.
“Our officers met with the club and other partners ahead of the match to carry out a full risk assessment, which ensured we had the appropriate resources for the number of people attending.
“Emotions always run high at football matches, and sometimes, this means that officers have to intervene to ensure the safety of the fans.
“We have made two arrests but as our investigation into last night’s disruption continues, I’d ask anyone with information about the incident to please come forward.”

Set It Off‘s brand new album Midnight is an eclectic journey through the insanity and brilliance that sets this four-piece aside from all other bands in their genre at the moment.
Coming from Cinematics and touring as support for bands such as Tonight Alive over the years, this album is a testament to how far they have come.
Opening with lead single ‘Killer In The Mirror’ was an amazing choice. The song is catchy and is able to get into your head quicker than you would expect. It is the epitome of what fans have come to expect from them.
Transitioning into ‘Hourglass’ makes for a new form, and may throw the listener off of what they are expecting. It’s another catchy song with beautiful vocals by lead singer Cody Carson. ‘Lonely Dance’ is a track that many can appreciate, dealing with the pressures of social anxiety and mental health issues. The lyric, “I don’t need you to understand,” speaks volumes in highlighting the message of the song.
The lyrics across songs such as ‘For You Forever’ and ‘Dancing With The Devil’ are designed in such a way that they can easily be pictured bringing down the house at any live show. ‘Go To Bed Angry’ is a beautiful song, featuring Wayfinders, that sets itself apart from the rest of the album.
‘No Disrespect’ has some great instrumentals that will keep your head nodding along. It’s great to see the band have the ability to step outside the norm. The final songs on the album feel very much like a swan song to the end of the album itself, with ‘Unopened Windows’ being a slow, beautiful song about memories.
Midnight is the meeting point of the band’s album Upside Down and arguably Duality in one. They are able to change up the sound on each and every album without fail. Overall, it’s a strong record and will no doubt see fans having it on repeat for months.
You can catch them on the upcoming 2019 UK and EU headline tour this April!

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an engine control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, and more particularly to an improvement of an engine control apparatus which has two computing means, one for main engine control signals and the other redundantly provided for auxiliary engine control signals, in which switching from the main to the auxiliary engine control signals is made when the computing means for the main engine contol signals is not properly operating.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional apparatus of such a kind as described above is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,444,048, for example. In the known apparatus, a main computer furnishes main control signals for an internal combustion engine to initiate a predetermined operation, in accordance with the engine operating parameters then sensed by various sensors which are installed in the engine and peripheral devices and equipment thereof, and an auxiliary computer operates only upon malfunction of the main computer and furnishes auxiliary control signals for the engine, i.e. signals which are simple so as to allow the minimum operation of the engine until such time as the next repair station can be reached.
There is further provided a switching circuit, whereby switching from the main to the auxiliary computer takes place if any error or malfunction in the main computer occurs. For this purpose, the main computer provides a monitoring signal as well as the main engine contol signals. The monitoring signal is a signal which indicates whether or not the main computer is properly operating. An error detector always monitors the monitoring signal, and outputs a switching signal to the switching circuit when the error detector detects an error, e.g., the absence of the monitoring signal indicative of correct operation of the main computer. Further, the auxiliary computer is monitored by means of a test program executed within the main computer.
In this way, in the known system the main computer is monitored by the error detector and the auxiliary computer is monitored by the main computer. However, no consideration is given to failure of the error detector itself, so that the reliability of the system as a whole is reduced. Further, in the known system, the error detectors of various kinds are composed of so-called wired logic circuits. As a result, the error detector is relatively complicated in its structure and lacks the flexibility to variation of the engine control.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved engine control apparatus which is able to achieve the high reliability of a system as a whole by making it possible to monitor not only a malfunction or abnormal operation in the main computer, but also any error or malfunction in a monitor for monitoring the main computer.
According to one of the features of the present invention, there are provided a first computer means which furnishes main engine control signals in dependence on the engine operating parameter signals and produces a monitoring signal indicating its own operational condition, as well as a second computer means for providing auxiliary engine control signals by which the engine is controlled during the malfunction or abnormal operation of the first computer means. A first computer monitoring means receives the monitoring signal from the first computer means and produces a malfunction detecting signal when a malfunction or abnormal operation is detected, and the malfunction detecting signal is watched by the second computer means, which outputs a switching request signal in response to appearance of the malfunction detecting signal. Switching from the main to the auxiliary engine control signals is executed under the condition of existence of the switching request signal and that the second computer means is properly operating.
According to the feature mentioned above, the malfunction or abnormal operation of the first computer means is detected, through the first computer monitoring means, by the second computer means, which, in the known apparatus, functions only for the purpose of furnishing the auxiliary engine control signals. As a result, the second computer means monitors the operation of the first computer monitoring means. Accordingly, the reliability of a system as a whole is improved, compared with the known engine control apparatus.
If there is further provided a monitoring means for the second computer means, the reliability of the system is improved much more.
The features which we desire to protect herein are pointed out with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself, together with further objects and advantages thereof may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an engine control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 2(a)-2(g) show timing charts for explaining the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the generating operation of a switching request signal, among the operations of a backup computer in the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 4(a)-4(d) are diagrams showing, among the operations of the backup computer, the operation for generating the engine control signals which allows the minimum operation of the engine;
FIG. 5 shows an example of the detailed circuits of a computer monitor used in the apparatus of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 shows an example of variations of a switching signal generator used in the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring to figures, the explanation will be made of an embodiment of the present invention hereinafter. In FIG. 1, first of all, a main computer 2 introduces, via an input/output circuit 4, various signals of engine operating parameters representing an operational condition of an internal combustion engine to be controlled. These signals are obtained from various kinds of sensors installed in the engine itself and the peripheral devices and equipment thereof. In the figure, there are provided an air flow sensor 6 which measures the amount of the air taken in by the engine and a rotational sensor 8 which generates pulses corresponding to angular positions of a crank shaft of the engine in synchronism with the rotation thereof. These two operating parameters are most fundamental for the engine control, however other parameters as are usually knwon well, such as the temperature of a cooling water, the opening degree of a throttle valve, the control position of a transmission etc., can be also taken into consideration.
Based upon the introduced signals as mentioned above, the computer 2 calculates and determines main engine control signals, e.g. the rate of fuel supply to the engine, the ignition timing and so on. For this purpose, the computer 2 is connected to a read-only memory (ROM) 10 in which a program for the above mentioned calculation and determination is stored, to a random access memory (RAM) 12 which stores the data necessary for execution of the program and the data calculated by the running of the program and to the input/output circuit 4, via an address bus 14 and a data bus 16.
The data calculated by the thus connected computer 2, such as the amount of fuel injection and the timing of ignition as mentioned above, are sent, via a switching circuit 24, from the input/output circuit 4 to various actuators as the engine control signals. As the actuators, in this embodiment there are provided an actuator 18 for a fuel supply device, an actuator 20 for an ignition control device, and an actuator 22 for a fuel pump. These actuators 18 to 22 function in response to the corresponding signal, so that a predetermined operation of the engine is initiated. It is to be noted here that the kinds of the sensors and the actuators are determined in accordance with the concept of the engine control required. Therefore, the combinations of the sensors, the actuators, and the elements connected between them can vary in order to satisfy the required concept of the engine control.
The computer 2 produces a signal indicative of its being under the in a normal operation, when the proram is running properly. This signal is sent to a main computer monitor 26 as a monitoring signal 26a, via the input/output circuit 4. When the computer 2 is operating normally, the monitoring signal 26a changes its state between a high and a low levels at predetermined intervals, as shown in the region A of FIG. 2 (a). In this embodiment, the time of the interval is set equal to 10 msec.. If the computer 2 malfunctions or exhibits abnormal operation, the change of state in the monitoring signal 26a disappears or the interval of the change of state is elongated, as shown in the region B of FIG. 2 (a). Therefore, the malfunction or abnormal operation of the computer 2 can be detected by watching the change of state of the monitoring signal 26a.
When the malfunction or abnormal operation has been found from watching the monitoring signal 26a, the monitor 26 initiates a change of state in its output signal 26b. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the signal 26b is kept at a high level during existence of the change of state in the monitoring signal 26a, and changes its state between a high and a low levels at predetermined intervals when the change of state in the monitoring signal 26a disappears. The time interval of the change of state in the signal 26b is equal to 100 msec. in this embodiment, i.e., by ten times longer than that in the monitoring signal 26a.
The main computer monitor 26 is shown in FIG. 5 in detail. Referring to FIG. 5, a transistor 56 is connected between a power source 52 and ground via a resistor 54, and receives the monitoring signal 26a at a base electrode thereof. When the computer 2 is working properly, the transistor 56 receives repeated pulses through the base thereof and is rendered conductive or nonconductive repeatedly. Consequently, the electric charge of a capacitor 58 is discharged or charged repeatedly. When the transistor 56 is nonconductive, the electric current determined by the quantity of charge discharged from the capacitor 58 in a previous cycle flows from the power source 52 into a capacitor 60 through the resistor 54 and the capacitor 58 to electrically charge the capacitor 60. Therefore, the terminal voltage of the capacitor 60 rises. When the computer malfunctions, the transistor 56 is maintained at one of either the conductive or nonconductive state. A terminal voltage Vin of the capacitor 60 assumes the low level whether the transistor 56 is conductive or nonconductive.
The terminal voltage Vin is input to a comparator 64. Further, a constant voltage Vref determined by resistors 66 and 68 is input to a comparator 64 which compares the voltage Vin with the voltage Vref. When the computer 2 is working properly, the voltage Vin is high, i.e., Vin>Vref, and the comparator 64 produces a low level output. This signal passes through a resistor 70 and renders a transistor 72 nonconductive so that a high level signal appears at an output terminal 74 thereof. If the computer 2 is malfunctioning, the terminal voltage Vin of the capacitor 60 drops, so that Vin<Vref. The comparator 64 then produces a high level output. The output of the comparator 64 is applied to the resistor 68 via a resistor 76, so that the voltage Vref is raised to Vref 1. The output of the comparator 64 electrically charges the capacitor 60 via a resistor 78 to raise the voltage Vin. The comparator 64 continues to produce the high level output until the voltage Vin becomes higher than the voltage Vref 1, and the transistor 72 is rendered conductive. As a result the terminal 74 assumes the low level voltage.
As the terminal voltage Vin of the capacitor 60 becomes greater than the voltage Vref 1, the comparator 64 produces the low level output, whereby the voltage Vref 1 returns to the initial voltage Vref, the transistor 72 is rendered conductive, and the terminal 74 assumes the high level voltage. Thus, low level pulses and high level pulses are produced repeatedly from the terminal 74. The signal appearing at the terminal 74 becomes the signal 26b, which functions as a reset signal for the computer 2 and the input/output circuit 4, as described later. Therefore, the signal 26b is called the reset signal hereinafter.
Now referring back to FIG. 1, the reset signal 26b is applied to a backup computer 28 as well as to reset terminals of the main computer 2 and the input/output circuit 4. The backup computer 28 furnishes auxiliary engine control signals 28c on the basis of the signal from the rotational sensor 8. The auxiliary engine control signals 28c are such signals as are sufficient only to allow the minimum operation of the engine until the next repair station can be reached. In this embodiment, the auxiliary engine control signals are composed of signals such as a fuel injection period and an ignition timing which initiate the minimum operational condition of the engine as described above. The detailed explanation of this operation will be made later with reference to FIG. 4. Of course, however, the backup computer 28 may be more complicated.
Further, by monitoring the reset signal 26b the backup computer 28 judges whether or not the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is serious. For this purpose, the backup computer 28 watches the state of the reset signal 26b every 5 msec. for example, as shown in FIG. 2(c). If the reset signal 26b is maintained continuously at one of two levels, e.g. at the high level as in this embodiment, it is judged that the operation of the main computer 2 is proper or normal. When the change of state appears in the reset signal 26b, the backup computer 28 counts the number of times thereof within a predetermined period. If the counted value exceeds a predetermined value, e.g. three, as shown in FIG. 2(b), it is an indication that the main computer 2 has not responded to three reset signals, and so the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is determined to be so serious that the engine control signals should be switched from the signals by the main computer 2 to those by the backup computer 28.
The operation of the above mentioned judgement within the backup computer 28 will be explained more in detail hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3. The figure is a flow chart illustrating the method of judging whether or not the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is serious. The program of this flow chart is executed every 5 msec. for example.
When the program starts, a timer counter increments its content by one at a step 100. The increment is made at each of the program, namely the timer counter counts the number of times of the execution of the program. Accordingly, because the program is executed regularly, i.e. every 5 msec., the count of the timer counter represents the time t which has passed since the first increment thereof. At a step 102, it is judged whether or not a predetermined time period elapsed; 1 sec is given as the predetermined time period in this embodiment. If the time elapsed is within 1 sec., the program is jumped to a step 106, so that the reset signal 26b is read into and stored in the backup computer 28.
If, however, the time elapsed exceeds 1 sec., the respective contents t and n of the timer counter and another counter described later are cleared at a step 104, and then the reset signal 26b is read and stored. A step 108 compares the thus stored reset signal with the reset signal that was read and stored in the previous time. If the condition is the same as the previous time, nothing is done and the program is completed. If the condition is changed from the previous condition, a counter that is storing the number of times the reset signal 26b has changed increases its content by one at a step 110. Then, it is judged at a step 112 whether the counted value n is greater than a predetermined value N or not. As is understood from FIG. 2(b), the predetermined value N is set at 3 in this embodiment. If the counted value n is less than 3, nothing occurs and the program goes to end. If, however, the counted value n exceeds 3, the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is determined to be of such a serious extent that the engine control signals have to be switched from the main to the auxiliary control signals. Consequently, the backup computer 28 outputs a switching request signal 28a as shown in FIG. 2(d), and then the program is completed.
In this manner, the switching request signal 28a is not produced immediately upon occurrence of the change of state in the reset signal 26b, but it is output for the first time when the number of the change of state within the predetermined value exceeds the predetermined value. The reason therefor is as follows. If the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is judged to be serious immediately upon the first occurrence of the change of state in the reset signal 26b, it often results in an erroneous judgement or excess switching of the engine control signals. Namely, there is a possibility that, even when the main computer 2 is normally operating, the monitoring signal 26a may take the low level, for example, in the event of an instantaneous failure of a power source or by some other causes, so that the reset signal 26b may start the change of state thereof. Further, when the malfunction or abnormal operation of the main computer 2 is not serious, it is unnecessary to switch the engine control signals from the main to the auxiliary control signals. The main computer 2 may be able to recover just after the reset signal 26b is applied thereto.
Referring back to FIG. 1 again, as the switching signal generator 30, an one-shot multivibrator is used in this embodiment. The switching request signal 28a is applied to a set terminal of the multivibrator 30, which is triggered by a signal 28b from the backup computer 28. Similarly to the monitoring signal 26a, the signal 28b repeats the change of state thereof at predetermined intervals during the normal operation of the backup computer 28, as shown in the region C of FIG. 2(e). The time interval of the repetition is 10 msec. equal to that in the monitoring signal 26a. When the backup computer 28 is malfunctioning, the change of state in the signal 28b disappears or the time interval of the repetition is extended, as shown in the region D of FIG. 2(e).
The multivibrator 30 is brought into the astable condition, when it is triggered by the signal 28b under existence of the switching request signal 28a. Since the time constant of the multivibrator 30 is set longer than the time interval of the signal 28, the multivibrator 30 is maintained at the astable condition once it is triggered. When the multivibrator 30 becomes astable, the switching signal 30a shown in FIG. 2(f) is output to the switching circuit 24. Upon receipt of the switching signal 30a, the switching circuit 24 switches its output signals from the main signal lines 4a to the auxiliary engine control signals 28c. Further, when the switching signal 30a is generated, a transistor 34 turns on to make the reset signal 26b ineffective, as shown in FIG. 2(b), whereby a try to restart the main computer 2 is stopped.
Further, the signal 28b is watched by a backup computer monitor 36, which outputs a reset signal 36a as shown in FIG. 2(g) when the signal 28b indicates the malfunction or abnormal operation of the backup computer 28. The reset signal 36a is applied to a reset terminal of the backup computer 28 whereby the restart of the backup computer 28 is tried.
By the way, the operation of generating the auxiliary engine control signals by the backup computer 28, which was briefly referred to before, will be explained in detail hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4. The backup computer 28 has a timer which is set to a certain count and counts down at a rate determined by a clock pulse signal. The timer overflows when the set count becomes zero, and the setting of the count is made each time there is an overflow. A signal generated for every overflow is an interrupt signal, which is called a timer interrupt signal. In this embodiment, the period of the timer interrupt signals is selected as about 5 msec.. FIG. 4(a) shows the change of the count of this timer. There is another interrupt signal, i.e. an external interrupt signal, which is generated by the rotational sensor 8, as shown in FIG. 4(b). The external interrupt signal occurs at every certain rotational angle of the engine rotation.
Now, when the external interrupt signal occurs on the way of counting-down of the timer, the timer is reset to a count corresponding to the fuel injection period, that is to say, the content of the timer at that time is replaced by the above mentioned count. The fuel injection period in this case is, as already stated before, the period sufficient only to allow the minimum operational condition of the engine. Further, when the external interrupt signal, i.e. the signal corresponding to the rotational angle of the engine rotation, is generated, an ignition timing signal and an fuel injection period signal are made high, as shown in FIG. 4(c) and (d), respectively.
After the re-setting of the count described above, the timer restarts counting down at the rate determined by the clock signal. When the content of the timer becomes equal to zero, the timer overflows, whereby the fuel injection signal is made low, as shown in FIG. 4(d), to stop the injection of fuel. Namely, the injection is conducted during the high level of the fuel injection signal. Then, a further period necessary for the ignition, i.e. the period from the time when the fuel injection signal becomes low to the time when the ignition is executed, is calculated and the count corresponding to the further period is set into the timer by the overflow interrupt signal. The timer counts down again at the rate determined by the clock signal. When the content of the timer becomes zero. the ignition timing signal is made low, as shown in FIG. 4(c). This means that the current flowing through a primary winding of a known ignition coil during the high level of the ignition timing signal is cut off, so that the ignition is done at that time. After the ignition, the timer is set to the count to be possible at that time.
By repeating the operation as described above, the backup computer 28 furnishes the auxiliary control signals sufficient to maintain the minimum operational condition of the engine, as shown in FIGS. 4(c) and (d). In the auxiliary engine control signals of this embodiment, the amount of the injection of fuel is constant and the timing of the ignition is fixed. However, it is of course that they may be made variable. For example, when a throttle valve is closed, the width of the fuel injection signal is made narrow, that is to say, the amount of the injection of fuel is reduced. To the contrary, the width of the fuel injection signal is widened, when a starter switch operates. Thereby, the more accurate control can be achieved.
Moreover, a variation of this embodiment can be also considered with respect to the switching signal generator 30. In this embodiment, the one-shot multivibrator is utilized as the switching signal generator 30. Other circuits or devices are also available. One of those is shown in FIG. 6. In the figure, a transistor 82, resistors 84, 88, and capacitors 86, 90 operate in the same manner as those of the circuit of FIG. 5. When a normal pulse as the signal 28b, is input to the base of the transistor 82 a high voltage is applied to the terminal of the capacitor 90. Since a diode 92 is provided in this circuit, as compared with the circuit of FIG. 5, the electric charge stored in the capacitor 90 simply discharges through a resistor 94. Therefore, the terminal of the capacitor 90 assumes a higher voltage. As the switching request signal 28a is input from a terminal 96, an AND gate 98 produces a high level signal 30a. As the signal input to the transistor 82 assumes a constant level, no charging current flows from the capacitor 86 to the capacitor 90 and the electric charge stored in the capacitor 90 discharges through the resistor 94. Therefore, a low level signal is input to the AND gate 98. Accordingly, even when the switching request signal 28a is input from the terminal 96, the AND gate 98 does not produce a high level output, i.e., does not produce the switching signal 30a.
Although we have herein shown and described only one form of apparatus embodying our invention, it is understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention.

“Created a cipher and sent it to the Vallejo Times Herald. Zodiac = 18, SFPD: 0. Wrote a poem about Delaware. Mailed it to Dave Toschi. Received a bill for $337.41. It was from the government. It had been a long day. Wrote my thoughts concerninggeodisc philosophies in a little book. I feel better when the sky is white.”
To say that Lonely Men Club has a plot is a bit of a stretch. To call it a character study is more accurate, but it looks at the character in the strangest way possible. That's not even just because the character is a time-traveling Zodiac Killer with magic powers who prays, writes, and travels in between committing murders and assaults and taunting the press and police. If I had to describe this book to someone, I'd say it's like a mix between American Psycho and House of Leaves.
Kleine wrote this book, which is over 700 pages and 100,000 words, in five days with the help of various computer programs, making the text partially procedurally generated. As radically different as this is from his other work, even the very experimental Arafat Mountain, there are still a lot of recognizable themes that Kleine comes back to. Travel, pop culture, and empty consumerism drowning out higher truths all run through the book.
I read this book from the beginning of it to the end. That seems like it should go without saying, but as Kleine points out in the introduction and the publisher points out in the afterword, this is not really a book to be read that way. The publisher even states it's the kind of book you never finish reading.
There's a lot of repetition in the book. I had to pace myself reading it to keep from getting annoyed by it, which I think was the right move. It's not so repetitive it kept me from coming back, though. Every few pages there will be something unexpected like a page blank but for a period or text over other text, making it unreadable. It's like the Zodiac Killer's time-traveling and powers are destroying the book itself.
The book has several places where words aren't spaced, creating strange neologisms such as “destroyedomlette” and “fuckedprayer.” Most of the prose is mundane and staccato, with the occasional burst of a strange question or a poetic phrase. Tying into the Zodiac Killer mythos, he's often praying for power and slaves in the afterlife. Despite the fact he aspires for such things, all that he can do with the power he already possesses is kill people, taunt the cops, and wander aimlessly. The book does throw curve balls at some points, in a book that is a curve ball itself, that does end up making very close reading of the text rewarding, despite the fact it the way its written encourages skimming.
Lonely Men Club is a radical book, even by the standards of experimental fiction. A lot of people will be very quickly turned off by it. However, Kleine has created an unquestionably unique book and a piece of text that works as piece of visual art as well. As of writing this, the publisher has this available for free as an e-book on their website. However, I very much encourage anyone interested in this to get the physical book as it loses something without being an object one can hold and flip through.

THE REPUBLIC FIGHTS BACK: THE FRANCO-GERMAN WAR870-1871 VOLUME 2
Uniforms, Organization and Weapons of the Armies of the Republican Phase of the War
Autore: Ralph Weaver
Attraverso illustrazioni, mappe, tavole a colori, il volume esamina le uniformi, le armi, e l’organizzazione degli eserciti coinvolti nella guerra Franco-Prussiana durante la fase Repubblicana.
The Franco-German War of 1870-71 saw the demise of one empire, that of Napoleon III and the birth of another, a new German empire under the rule of the king of Prussia and his first minister Bismarck. Many books have been written on the campaigns and battles of the war; this is the first to centre on the armies themselves.
After the debacle of the French surrender at Sedan vast new armies were raised, both in France and Germany. The French Republican government, under the tireless enthusiasm of Leon Gambetta, tried to mobilise the whole male population to participate in some form or other; was he successful? This book explains how they were organised, how they were armed, what uniforms they were dressed in and how they were supplied with the essentials of war. Technical innovations changed the way armies behaved in the field, railways speeded up movement, the telegraph delivered orders in a fraction of the time and new weapons altered tactics used on the battlefield. How did the leaders react to the opening battles, what changes were made to battlefield tactics? What was the effect of the establishment of the Volunteer forces, the Franc-Tireurs. How quickly did the uniforms and equipment survive under field conditions and what did the authorities do to remedy any problems? Many contemporary works have been used either in their original form or now available as digital copies from French and German sources. Many English language sources have also been used together with memoirs from soldiers, officers and men as well as diplomats, volunteers, combatants and those ministering to the wounded. The American Civil War had demonstrated the practical use of railways, the Germans expanded their railway departments, both in the General staff and in the field. The Germans had planned their railways with scientific care, to keep the field armies supplied, to evacuate the sick and wounded and to maintain the tracks, bridges, depots and rolling stock, bringing in thousands of railway workers from the German private railway companies. Both armies had to adapt to one of the harshest winters in living memory, marching, camping and fighting in rain, snow and mud, all but a few roads having a prepared surface.

Here’s another fascinating story from Lowell’s history by Julie Mofford, a former staffer at the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, who currently lives in midcoast Maine where she writes and works as a museum and historical society consultant.
When I stayed with my grandparents in Zanesville, Ohio, my bed faced the picture of a seated lady who always seemed ready to reprimand me. Sometimes she rode into my nightmares on a broomstick. Grandmother refused to remove her to the attic.
“That portrait’s too heavy. Anyway, she’s the mother of a great artist named James McNeill Whistler.”
‘One does like to make one’s mummy look as nice as possible, ‘ he said after painting Arrangement in Grey & Black, No.1 in London in 1871. The flamboyant expatriate was born in Lowell July 10, 1834, though he denied the fact stating, “I do not choose to be born in Lowell.” When asked why he happened to have been born here, he replied, “The explanation is quite simple. I wished to be near my mother.
Because of this familiar portrait, Whistler’s father has been largely overlooked. Yet George Washington Whistler was described as ‘witty and charming’ by contemporaries. He was considered a man of ‘spotless integrity,’ with polished manners and a military bearing. His skill at playing the flute earned him the life-long nickname ‘Pipes.’
One of fifteen children, George Whistler was born in 1800 at Fort Wayne, Indiana, a military outpost commanded by his father. George entered West Point at fourteen, placing first in the class in drawing and fourth in geometry. Following graduation, Whistler briefly taught mathematics, then became a lieutenant in the artillery with the Army Corps of Engineers. His job was to stake out western boundary lines, “enduring every privation, living among Indians, wearing snowshoes and even sleeping in snow and subsisting on parched corn.” (Mumford, p. 19). The young army officer also became interested in railroad construction. Although there were no viable passenger lines in the country and only a few miles of track for hauling freight, it was clear that railroads spelled the future of transportation.
In 1828, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sent Whistler to England to learn more about railroad technology, including the laying of tracks. He became a railroad engineer when Americans still laughed at anyone who said a locomotive could go faster than horses pulling stagecoaches. “The noise would keep cows from giving milk, hens from laying eggs and the smoke would surely kill birds and poison our air,” insisted many.(Parry, p. 27).
By 1831 Whistler was in New Jersey overseeing the construction of the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad and two years later, lines between Providence and Stonington, Connecticut and Baltimore & Susquehanna. With his brother-in-law, William Gibbs McNeill, he designed the Boston & Providence Railroad that included the famous Canton Viaduct, in service for 174 years.
Whistler was a widower with three children when he married McNeill’s sister, Anna Matilda, in 1831. They eventually had five sons, the artist being first-born. The southern lady dressed in grey & black was indeed strict, since no toys were permitted on Sundays and the only book allowed was the Bible.”
More interested in civil engineering than in military life, Whistler resigned his commission in 1833with the rank of Major. He had been invited by the Proprietors of Locks and Canals to become chief engineer and supervisor of the machine shop in the new city of Lowell. On June 1, 1834, the family moved into the residence at 243 Worthen Street, now The Whistler Museum of Art and home of the Lowell Art Association since 1908. The house had been built for Paul Moody, first engineer at the Locks and Canal Company, who lived there 1824 -1831. In addition to Major Whistler’s annual salary of $300, the house was rent-free. In a letter, he described Lowell as a “remarkably well-regulated manufacturing town; drawing visitors from other places, even other countries to see ‘a new city of a new type in a new era.’ (Mumford, p. 38)
The large, red brick building had been taken over by the Proprietors of Locks & Canals from the Merrimack Company in 1825. The shop developed machines to turn out cotton cloth and created turbines and steam engines for water power. Whistler helped design Lowell’s canals and aqueducts and learned how to design and build locomotives here. He took apart a British locomotive imported from Stephanson at Newcastle to figure out how it was put together. He worked with Patrick Tracy Jackson to open the Boston & Lowell Railroad.
On June 30, 1835, the first locomotive rode the rails over the 25 miles between Lowell and Boston in one hour and 17 minutes with Whistler riding in triumph with several other passengers. It was supposed to be named after Patrick Tracy Jackson but was called The Patrick in the end because Lowell did not wish this great honor confused with President Andrew Jackson who was no favorite here. The day of celebration drew curious crowds, including citizens anticipating the train’s break down, bringing death to everyone inside. The return trip took an hour and 40 minutes with twenty-five passengers aboard.
According to the Lowell Journal & Mercury, January 8, 1836: ‘The construction of the Boston & Lowell Railroad is pronounced by competent judges to be the best in the United States…The train of burthen cars now runs daily bringing about 40 tons of cotton or coal at a time. Extreme cold weather, snow and ice have not obstructed the progress of locomotives and cars this winter.’
Three years later the Machine Shop turned out 32 locomotives. One engine produced here in 1847 bore the name Whistler.
Whistler and his family left Lowell in 1837. He took charge of the Stonington Railroad in Connecticut, then laid iron roads through Western Massachusetts linking Boston to Albany. This feat was compared to ‘laying a railroad all the way to the moon’ because it was believed to be the longest and highest in the world.
By 1842 Whistler was considered America’s preeminent Railroad Man. At one point, six different lines were under his direct supervision. (Parry, p. 46). Not only could he manage construction, he also excelled in organizing rail traffic and rolling stock repairs. He was considered an expert at laying rails and also designed the first steam whistle on any locomotive in the country.
Pavel Melnikov, the leading Russian engineer, was sent by Czar Nicholas I to interview Whistler, considered by Russians to be the world’s greatest engineer. He was subsequently hired at an annual salary of $12,000 to direct construction of Russia’s first major railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow. Educated Russians regularly conversed in French, a language Whistler knew well. Escorted by Major Boutattz of the Russian Imperial Engineering Corps, he sailed for Russia bringing with him the latest equipment. The future artist, James McNeill was nine when the family later joined him in Russia. In 1846 the talented boy was accepted by the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg.
Although Whistler was officially, the consulting engineer on this project he had full charge of all construction and supplies – a challenging job in a country short of machinery, mechanics and materials that had to be imported. Machine shops had to be built for the manufacture of locomotives and cars. There were bridges, depots, and miles of tracks to map and construct. Whistler was also responsible for housing, feeding and supervising 60,000 men, (Mumford, p. 114), 40,000 of whom labored on the 420 mile long double railway that was scheduled for completion in five years at a cost of forty million dollars. Several American companies contracted with the Russians to build 162 twenty-five ton locomotives and 25 tenders, 5300 iron trucks, 2500 eight-wheel freight cars, 70 passenger cars and two 80 foot long, 16-wheel special cars (Parry, p. 126).
Whistler’s expertise, energy, and polished manners impressed the Czar who claimed this railroad had been the dream of Peter the Great. “I am completing Peter’s work,” Nicholas I told Whistler proudly. (Parry, p. 72).
Following his formal presentation at the Czar’s Winter Palace, Whistler wrote, ‘I talked of railroads and answered his questions with as much ease as I could have talked with any private gentleman. I verily believe I never even said Your Majesty once.’ (Parry, p. 73).
It was said no other American with the exception of former ambassador John Quincy Adams, was held in such high esteem by Russians.
Reading Whistler’s letters about ‘the long reign of the Russian winter’ evokes scenes from Doctor Zhivago. Russian noblemen donated their serfs or bonded peasants (Mumford, p. 57) who with Polish captives provided hard labor. Because outdoor work seasons were so short, they worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Typhoid and cholera epidemics were so regular that the railway route was dotted with graves. Workers lived in camps of sod huts and tents and slept on the ground. Sometimes they stayed in wooden barracks held together with birch bark and branches. Since vodka was the prescribed cure for illness and exhaustion, drunken behavior was usual. (Parry, p. 87).
Although Whistler refused to wear the Russian uniform required of all noblemen and militia, a grateful emperor honored him with the Order of Saint Anne in 1847. On May 19 that same year, Anna McNeill Whistler wrote: ‘We shall always remember that the opening of this first sixteen miles of the Moscow & St. Petersburg Railroad took place upon Major Whistler’s 47th birthday.” Her husband rode in the Czar’s special car with Russian royalty.
A few months before he turned 50 in 1849, George Washington Whistler contracted cholera, recovering only to suffer a fatal heart attack. He died in St. Petersburg two years before his Russian railroad was completed.
“George Washington Whistler has shown himself a great master in his profession – equally a man of science and a man of business’ (Mumford, p. 56). A pioneer of railroads, he was the first American civil engineer to use contour lines to show elevation and the first to employ contour lines to show elevation and relief on maps. Beginning in 1841, he built the country’s first keystone arch bridges, many of which remain in use.
One of my own assignments at Lowell Historic Preservation Commission in 1990 & 1991 was to provide technical assistance to the Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society in mounting an exhibit inside the railcar on Dutton Street. Although this organization’s artifacts and historical photographs would remain securely housed at the Center for Lowell History, members were invited to share posters, souvenir tickets, timetables and other personal memorabilia with visitors. Meetings to make plans, to select items to share and to script labels were something to look forward to. I wish I’d known about George Washington Whistler, especially his Lowell years, back then.
