Context-Aware Holographic Communication Based on Semantic Knowledge Extraction
Augmented, mixed and virtual reality are changing the way people interact and communicate. Five dimensional communications and services, integrating information from all human senses are expected to emerge, together with holographic communications (HC), providing a truly immersive experience. HC presents a lot of challenges in terms of data gathering and transmission, demanding Artificial Intelligence empowered communication technologies such as 5G. The goal of the paper is to present a model of a context-aware holographic architecture for real time communication based on semantic knowledge extraction. This architecture will require analyzing, combining and developing methods and algorithms for: 3D human body model acquisition; semantic knowledge extraction with deep neural networks to predict human behaviour; analysis of biometric modalities; context-aware optimization of network resource allocation for the purpose of creating a multi-party, from-capturing-to-rendering HC framework. We illustrate its practical deployment in a scenario that can open new opportunities in user experience and business model innovation.

Daughter’s disappointment after losing Court of Protection battle
A woman who took her case to the Court of Protection in an attempt to overturn a “do not resuscitate” order placed on her elderly father’s file has said she feels let down by a Judge’s decision.
Stella Edwards was unhappy with the decision made by medics at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon, that her father should not receive CPR in the event that he went into cardiac arrest.
Eighty-three-year-old Samuel Edwards, who had a catalogue of health problems including advanced dementia, diabetes and pneumonia, had passed away earlier this month.
In a hearing a couple of weeks earlier, the Judge presiding over the case had backed the hospital’s decision, arguing that the pensioner should be able to “die with dignity.”
Stella, who received Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) when her father’s health began to decline five years ago, said that she did not want other families to go through the same experience as her.
“I feel bad that he has gone before his time and the way it has all happened,” she said.
“I didn’t know how long my dad had. He might still be alive if he didn’t have a DNR placed on him by the Court of Protection. I was not being cruel, I just wanted my dad to live his last days in a natural way, as he would have wanted.”
Nerissa Vaughan, the chief executive of the Great Western, said: “Our highly experienced medical and nursing teams often have the unenviable task of making difficult decisions to ensure that patients nearing the end of their lives have a comfortable and dignified death, without unnecessary pain or harm.
“Losing a loved one is always difficult and we offer Ms Edwards and her family our full support and deepest sympathies at this upsetting time.”

Stephen Wright faces a race against time to be fit for Sunderland's weekend relegation battle at West Ham.
The former Liverpool defender was substituted at half-time against Bolton in Mick McCarthy's first game in charge at the weekend with a hamstring problem.
The #3 million buy underwent a scan on the injury on Monday which revealed no serious damage and he is rated as doubtful for the weekend, although he has not been ruled out at this stage.
When Wright failed to emerge for the second-half against Bolton, it forced McCarthy to reshuffle his side with skipper Michael Gray moving from left wing to right-back to fill the gap while Julio Arca replaced Gray on the left flank.
But Gray did not look comfortable at right-back and is unlikely to start in that position at Upton Park on Saturday.
McCarthy does have cover for the right-back slot however, with Darren Williams - who played in midfield against Bolton - and centre-back Joachim Bjorklund both capable of playing in that position.
Youngster Mark Rossiter, who has made three cup appearances this term, could also come into the frame although he missed Monday's reserve defeat at West Brom after being taken ill on the way to the game.
If Wright is not fit, Williams is the man most likely to be asked to cover for him with Kevin Kilbane and Jason McAteer both likely to be back in contention for midfield berths after missing out on the Bolton game with `flu and a hamstring problem respectively.

Oil prices are trending a bit higher this week, with oil closing above $80/bbl for the first time in the new year on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday was a market holiday, but prices have seen plenty of movement the rest of the week. China’s economy continues reopening, prompting the International Energy Agency to forecast a global oil demand record this year. As they note in their report:
“Two wild cards dominate the 2023 oil market outlook: Russia and China. This year could see oil demand rise by 1.9 mb/d to reach 101.7 mb/d, the highest ever, tightening the balances as Russian supply slows under the full impact of sanctions. China will drive nearly half this global demand growth even as the shape and speed of its reopening remains uncertain.”
This week’s EIA report showed two sizable builds for crude oil and gasoline, leading markets to trend lower. However, diesel posted a 2 million barrel draw, a surprise compared to traders’ expectation of a build. Although refinery utilization across the US is a respectable 85%, the PADD 4 Rocky Mountains region is currently seeing less than 60% of refinery capacity being used. That’s putting pressure on fuel supplies, especially in Colorado. In Ohio, three refineries remain offline, though two are set for restarts in early February, providing some support for the local market.
Prices in Review
Crude oil opened the week at $80.10, climbing to a peak near $82 on Wednesday before crashing lower. The EIA’s report of a crude draw sent prices below $80 temporarily, but the market recovered on Thursday. On Friday morning, WTI crude opened at $80.60, largely unchanged from the beginning of the week.
Unlike crude oil, diesel has seen hefty gains this week. Diesel opened the week at $3.2676, trading flat for most of the week before rocketing higher on Thursday, after Wednesday’s report of an inventory draw. With just a couple of weeks until Europe’s embargo on Russian diesel takes effect, expect volatility in prices. Diesel opened Friday at $3.3856, up 11.8 cents (+3.6%).
Gasoline is a bit higher as well, though the product suffered the same bearish turn midweek as crude markets. Opening at $2.5375, gasoline rose near $2.60 before sinking to $2.49. On Friday, the market opened higher at $2.6037, a gain of 6.6 cents (+2.6%).

Introducing the low-noise belt drive
Among the many parts of the sewing machine, the timing belt is especially important in determining how efficiently its power is transmitted. It puts the sewing machine in motion by enabling the upper and lower shafts to work together. At Brother, we have refined the timing belt by altering its material and shape, reducing the noise it produces while in use, and decreasing the amount of power it consumes. While significantly improving its energy efficiency, we have also reduced the sound it makes while rotating at high speeds for a more comfortable sewing experience.
For most sewing machines, more power is consumed as rotation speed rises, which increases stress on the timing belt and creates more noise. But thanks to the new design parameters we've used for our belt drive, power consumption is limited, and the level of noise is kept low, even while rotating at high speeds. These features have enabled us to create the next generation of sewing machine, combining comfort with energy efficiency.
The right belt is key.
Timing belt performance is determined by a combination of factors, including the material it's made of, its thickness, and the shape of its teeth. At Brother we spent months testing and refining the timing belt, and eventually came up with a belt drive offering remarkable transmission efficiency, and excellent durability.
Electricity consumption reduced by 30％.
By focusing on the noise produced as a belt rotates, we came up with a low-noise belt drive technique. Implementing these design parameters allowed us to cut power consumption by about 30% compared to our previous models. This design is ideal for users who need to sew for long hours, keeping noise to a minimal level.
THE ENGINEERS' STORY
Brother has released its latest sewing machine, a model that offers our highest rotation speed among home models, along with an energy-efficient level of power consumption. In order to offer both of these features, which normally run contrary to one another, we had to look at things from a whole new perspective. I was impressed with a certain female engineer for taking on these unknown challenges, fueled by her passion for Brother sewing machines and the environment.
The key to increasing rotation speed and decreasing power consumption was "sound".
Rino Nakama, Development Department,
Personal and Home Company
My thoughts on the Brother sewing machine, a company icon since our founding
Today we offer many products from a wide range of genres, but as you all know, Brother started out exclusively with sewing machines. Back when our company was founded, sewing machines had to be imported from overseas, and they were very expensive. Our founder was determined to develop one that could be used by many people, and his dream came true in 1932 when we were able to successfully mass produce machines for home use. For 80 years since Brother was founded, its sewing machines have continued to improve with time--constantly becoming more user-friendly, safer, and more efficient. As a Brother employee, my hope is to share with our customers how fun it can be to use our machines, and the feeling of accomplishment ("I've done it!") that comes with sewing. That is what Brother has been about since its founding. I was involved in the design process of our latest model, and we struggled with various challenges on the way to completion. But I can honestly say that our passion for success has successfully been implemented into this product.
The challenge of raising rotation speed while lowering power consumption.
Our latest product is a top-of-the-line sewing machine for home use. It is designed for those who wish to use a sewing machine for everyday tasks, sometimes for long hours, which we specifically kept in mind while designing it. Because of this, we focused our efforts on raising the maximum rotation speed. This was to increase task efficiency a great deal, and make a lot of people happy in the process. However, the road was quite bumpy on our way to accomplishing this. Increasing the rotation speed naturally resulted in an increase in energy consumption. But we couldn't change the size of the machine's power source, which simply wouldn't provide enough power to accomplish our vision. So then, we had to consider the energy efficiency of the entire machine. We looked at various approaches, such as adding a surface coat to the transmission shaft, but nothing we thought of would ultimately reduce power consumption. That was a significant challenge in the development process.
Thinking outside of the box increased efficiency more than we imagined
The unexpected key to overcoming these difficulties was "sound." I was also in charge of noise-reduction tasks at that time, and one day I realized that reducing the sound would also lower power consumption. So from that point on, we specifically focused on the "sound" approach. In particular, we looked into the timing belt because it has a significant influence on sound reduction. The belt is made up of various elements (design parameters), including width, thickness, tooth shape, tension, and pulley shape. By changing and combining these various elements, we were able to run a lot of tests to refine the product. I can't begin to count the number of trials we went through in order to hone the belt to an ideal part of the sewing machine. But in the end, we produced a timing belt that produces hardly any noise compared to its predecessors, and actually consumes about 30% less power. I had no idea we could reach that kind of percentage. It wasn't easy by any stretch, and I didn't believe the test results at first, but I remember feeling a great sense of relief when members of our team actually reaffirmed how quiet it was, and that our power consumption issue was solved.
We continue to refine this product because of its value to society
The sewing machine has been an important product to Brother since its founding, and as an employee I want to increase awareness of how fun our sewing machines can be. I want our customers to experience the wonderful feeling of accomplishment it brings to create by sewing. And by increasing the max rotation speed and significantly cutting energy consumption with this product, I believe those who use our sewing machines for everyday tasks will be very satisfied. But now that we've come this far, a new problem has surfaced. There are still a lot of unknowns to our approach in developing low-energy timing belts. So much potential for improvement is still there, which can be attained by increasing the speed and level of comfort offered by our future models. We will continue to refine our sewing machines for convenience and remarkable functionality, as well as eco-friendly and wallet-friendly reasons.
Since Brother was founded, we have continuously refined our sewing machine technologies.As a result, we now offer a home machine with a faster maximum rotation speed than ever before.
We've built a better sewing machine by increasing rotation speed and decreasing power consumption, features that normally run contrary to one another.

Maryland freshman Seth Allen scored 16 points in the Terrapins’ 83-81 upset of No. 2 Duke on Feb. 16. Looking back, though, that game very well could have never happened for the Virginia native.
Allen, who is averaging 7.6 points and 2.4 assists per game in his first season in College Park, was involved in a gruesome bicycle accident in 2007 that left him with two plates and 24 screws in his left elbow. According to a story in Tuesday’s Baltimore Sun, Allen hit a rough patch on his 10-speed bike and lost control. He tried to brace him self for the fall and is now left with a seven-inch scar after the surgery.
“My handlebars turned and my arm got caught up, and it snapped my arm and broke it,” Allen told the paper. “And then I fell on it, and the thing that holds the elbow together shattered.”
“The doctor said his elbow had to be pieced back together like a jigsaw puzzle, and they didn’t think he would have full use of his arm,” Allen’s mother, Deborah, said. “The physical therapist would come in three to five times a day and move his arm so that scar tissue would not move in, and he would just scream. I think that was the hardest thing we ever went through.”
Now having made a full recovery, Allen is an integral part of Maryland’s rotation with just under 22 minutes per game. His Terrapins are fighting an uphill battle to make the NCAA tournament and must get a road win Wednesday over Georgia Tech to keep their hopes alive.

On energy, North America is literally -- not figuratively -- the epicenter of energy in the world today. There are more rigs, gas and oil rigs in the United States pumping today than every other nation in the world combined. Combined. North America will account -- meaning Mexico, China and Canada -- for two-thirds of the growth of global energy supply over the next 20 years. By 2018, the United States will be a net exporter of natural gas, and most projections show North America will be totally energy independent by 2020, and the United States shortly thereafter.
Remarks by the Vice President at the John F. Kennedy Forum
So, now North America is Mexico, China, and Canada

Jill says that nEZ&li-zer are planning to TAKE OVER the U.S. Indian Health Service to IMPROVE HEALTH CARE on the Navajo REZ. I vote RED/NO!!!!! Jill/nEZ&li-zer CANNOT EVEN PAY their TRASH BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Health, Education & Human Service Committee vice chairman carl slater is sponsoring LEGISLATION 0168-21 for the nEZ&li-zer/Jimm TAKE OVER of IHS. LEGISLATION 0168-21 states: “An Action Relating to Law and Order, Health, Education and Human Services, Budget and Finance and Naabik’íyáti’ Committees; Approving and Authorizing the Navajo Department of Health, Division of Public Safety and Division of Social Services to Pursue Entry into the Indian Health Service Self-Governance Program per Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, 25 U.S.C. §§ 5301-5423 (P.L. 93-638, as Amended) by Conducting the Required Planning Process and Applying for Funding Resources Available from the Indian Health Service,” which means that the NAABIK’IYATI COMMITTEE and, not the COUNCIL have FINAL APPROVAL over LEGISLATION 0168-21, which is in the Five-Day Review Process.
The Five-Day review process ends Aug. 22 and that means LEGISLATION 0168-21 goes before Law&Order, then HEHS, B&F and Finally the Naabik’iyati. To submit COMMENTS on LEGISLATION 0168-21, email to Office of Legislative Services at email@example.com and the address for the Navajo Nation Office of Legislative Services is 200 Parkway Blvd, Bldg. #3 | PO Box 3390 Window Rock, AZ 86515, P: 928-871-7236 | F: 928-871-7259 | E: firstname.lastname@example.org
I couldn’t attach LEGISLATION 0168-21 to my FB post and so I’m post it here on my website, Marley Shebala’s Notebook,
Navajo Council Budget & Finance committee member Amber Kanazbah Crotty questioned Health Division Director Jill Jim about her proposed 2022 budget for health dept and one of Crotty’s questions to Jim was why Jim is asking for money to pay past bills…I wonder if Jim, who serves at the Pleasure of nEZ&li-zer FINALLY paid the Trash Bill for the Navajo Nation’s ssnior citizens centers and Navajo Nation food distribution program.
Here’s a story I did about Jim/nEZ&li-zer not paying their Trash Bill on June 22, 2021. I DID ASK for an Update from Jim,nEZ&li-zer and I’m still WAITING for an ANSWER:
CROWNPOINT (6.22.21) — The nonpayment of trash pickup services by the Nez-Lizer administration closed all Eastern Agency Senior Citizen Centers as a heat wave hit the Navajo Nation and U.S. Southwest last week.
The Independent learned of the closure of the Crownpoint senior citizen center from Carol Dolan, a member of the Navajo Nation Council on Aging and New Mexico Council on Aging since 2004, late Thursday.
It was also on Thursday that Jill Jim, who was appointed to head the health division by President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer, reported to the Navajo Nation Council Naabik’iyati Committee that Nez and Lizer have been monitoring the weather for several weeks, which is why Jim issued a public warning regarding the physical signs of heat exposure Wednesday.
Jim did not inform the Naabik’iyati about the closure of senior citizen centers across the Eastern Agency in New Mexico.
All centers closed
It was on Saturday that the Independent learned from that all senior citizen centers in the Eastern Agency had been closed due to non-payment of trash creating a health hazard from a Saturday email from Navajo Nation Division of Health Department of Aging and Long-Term Care Services Director Valerie Jones to Jim, Speaker Seth Damon, Council delegates Daniel Tso and Mark Freeland, and Nez-Lizer Chief of Staff Paulsen Chaco.
There was no response from Jim and Chaco as of print time Tuesday morning regarding the status of the Eastern Agency senior centers.
Jim stated in a Saturday email to Jones, Damon, Tso, Freeland, and Chaco that meals are being provided by specific centers in the Eastern Agency.
“Crownpoint Agency senior centers remain in operation,” she stated. “At this point in time, Mrs. Juanita Dennison, Crownpoint Agency Program Supervisor, has established the following plan until Navajo Sanitation removes the trash.
“Per Mrs. Dennison, ‘Standing Rock/Nahodishgish/Crownpoint: will serve cold packs from the Crownpoint Agency Office. Casamero Lake and Baca will utilize Casamero Lake Chapter. I spoke with the Chapter President George Tolth and he supported the two centers serving hot meals and cold packs. Lake Valley will serve out of Lake Valley Chapter-cold pack. Thoreau will serve from Smith Lake Senior Center-cold packs.’”
The Independent emailed questions on Friday to Jim, Chaco, Acting Controller Elizabeth Begay, Finance Manager Robert Willie, Tso, Freeland, and Delegate Carl Slater regarding the closure of the Crownpoint senior center because trash that was not picked up by a sanitation business. The trash was not picked up because the Nez-Lizer administration didn’t pay the trash bill for Crownpoint, according to Saturday emails from Jim and Jones.
Jim, Paulsen, Begay, Willie, Slater and Freeland did not respond by print time Tuesday morning.
Office of Environmental Health
Tso, who is chairman of the Health, Education and Human Services Committee, reported in a late Thursday email that senior citizen center staff from two of his chapters in Eastern Agency informed him that trash dumpsters are overfilled.
He stated that the Indian Health Service-Office of Environmental Health cited two senior centers for closures and four centers that are in Freeland’s District.
Tso also informed Jim, Chaco, Begay, Willie and Freeland, “to my understanding, invoices have not been paid for April, May and June,” Tso stated. “As such meal services and water delivery during this high heat weather aren’t occurring. This is very concerning. Please focus your attention to this in an utmost urgent manner.”
Valerie Jones, who administers the Navajo Nation Department of Aging and Long-Term Care Services, stated in a Saturday email to Jim, Chaco, Tso, Freeland, and Speaker Seth Damon, “DALTCS is making every effort to ensure the service contract is processed and payment is made to Navajo Sanitation. DALTCS has the funds available. I made an emergency procurement request to OOC (Office of the Controller) on Wednesday, 6/17/21.”
Nonpayment of trash services
“Payment has not been made to Navajo Sanitation, perhaps all documents required by OOC and OMB (Office of Management and Budget) will be approved by Monday, 6/21/2021,” Jones stated. “As mentioned by Dr. Jim, DALTCS is currently without an accountant. Due to the many levels of required review and approval by various Navajo Nation departments/divisions, including the various administrative requirements, DATLCS was not able to secure the Navajo Sanitation service contract in time.”
Jones’ email was in response to a Saturday directive by Jim to Jones to provide answers to Tso, who represents the New Mexico chapters of Baca/Prewitt, Casamero Lake, Counselor, Littlewater, Ojo Encino, Pueblo Pintado, Torreon, Whitehorse Lake, and Ojo Encino, and Freeland, who represents the New Mexico chapters of Becenti, Crownpoint, Huerfano, Lake Valley, Nageezi, Nahodishgish, Standing Rock, and Whiterock.
Jim also emphasized, “At this moment, the senior centers are not closed and are providing services from other centers in the meantime.”
She added, “In this administration, I hope we can address the manual processing of documents of any sort at DPM (Department of Personnel Management), OMB, or OOC, especially the 164 process (review process). I’m aware that OOC can activate certain packages within Oracle to handle some of the work that currently is being done manually.
Duplicating document review process
“During this pandemic, handling of documents has become more difficult as divisions are implementing their own requirements for electronic or not and there is even variability of these requirements within divisions,” Jim stated. “Some are still not wanting to handle documents and I believe that with the low numbers and possible low risk, documents can be handled manually. These type of additional and variability of requirements to submit documents cause more confusion, there is less follow-up through from established division emails and assignments at drop-off are unknown when documents are submitted.”
She noted, “The reason for the delay also relate to what is mentioned above, as well as the internal accountant transferring to another job in another division.”
Jim also thanked Damon, Freeland and Tso, whom she copies in her Saturday email to Jones. “Thank you for bringing this to my attention,” she stated. “I hope we get this resolved quickly so we don’t further impact services.”
It was about 98 degrees in the shade at the Crownpoint Senior Citizen Center on Father’s Day. The center was closed and there were no announcements on the center’s door regarding services during the heat wave.
The Following is a Story from the ROLLING STONE magazine about the Heat Wave. Jim/nEZ&li-zer has not issued a Report on the Health/Medical Impact of June Heat Wave. “WHAT HIT THE PACIFIC Northwest in late June was one of the most sudden and extreme heat waves ever recorded. It melted power lines, buckled asphalt, cooked a billion sea creatures. According to mortality data analyzed by The New York Times, the heat wave was responsible for more than 1,000 deaths, including 600 in Oregon and Washington, and another 440 in British Columbia. The actual count is likely even higher — heat-related deaths are notoriously difficult to tabulate, in part because heat often contributes to deaths that are attributed to other causes, such as heart attacks or strokes. One indicator of the toll the heat wave took on people’s health: On June 28th, one of the hottest days ever recorded in the Pacific Northwest — the temperature in Portland hit 116 F, nearly 40 degrees above average for that day — there were 1,038 heat-related ER visits to area hospitals. On the same day in 2019, there were 9 ER visits.”

DeLonghi released the original La Specialista in 2019, making it one of the newest home espresso machines for under $1000.
It has quickly gained popularity, and it's definitely one to consider for your coffee-drinking needs.
In this complete review, I'll cover everything there is to know about the La Specialista. We'll explore features, functions, pros, cons, and my full experience using the DeLonghi coffee machine.
DeLonghi La Specialista Review – My Ratings & Top Features
Because it’s capable of brewing the perfect cup of coffee, I give the La Specialista a 4.5/5.
Like most espresso machines, there’s some room for improvement, but overall, this is a great choice for anyone from a beginner to experienced barista.
Here are some of the advanced features that make this fully automatic espresso machine so special:
Who Should Buy The La Specialista?
Anyone can benefit from owning the La Specialista. This espresso maker is designed for foolproof brewing, making it perfect for beginners.
On the flip side, it allows for some creativity and experimentation, making it just as suitable for seasoned brewers.
So whether you're new to home-brewed coffee or a pro when it comes to making espresso coffee drinks, this DeLonghi machine is for you.
It's not ideal for every budget, though, so keep that in mind if you're only interested in cheaper machines.
Why I Decided To Review The De'Longhi La Specialista Espresso Machine
Every barista makes mistakes, myself included.
That’s why I’ve always wanted an automatic espresso machine that takes the guesswork and mistake-making out of brewing coffee, such as the DeLonghi La Specialista.
Even though it reduces the chance of mistakes thanks to internal temperature regulation and pressure sensor technology, it still allows some room for creativity.
I’m all about experimenting with my espresso and latte art, and this machine perfectly allows me to do that.
Here are some specs on how I tested the product:
Cups Brewed Per Day
Level Of Experience Needed
I’m an espresso fanatic on the hunt for a beginner-friendly, foolproof machine that also allows for some creativity in the brewing process.
My home kitchen
Money Saved Per Year
I have saved approximately $900 this year by brewing espresso at home with the La Specialista.
Favorite Drink To Brew
What’s It Like To Brew With The De'Longhi La Specialista
The La Specialista is considered a hybrid coffee maker, meaning it’s an all-in-one machine that requires no extra equipment for brewed coffee or espresso.
After a full month of using it, it’s clear that DeLonghi put a lot of thought and effort into the machine’s convenience factor.
It’s easy to use, and best of all, it grinds, doses, tamps, brews, and froths without much effort on your part.
Below, you can read about my full experience using the La Specialista to better learn if this coffee maker is the one for you.
What's In The Box?
Compared to other machines at this price point, the DeLonghi doesn’t come with all that much. That being said, it does come with everything you need to get started, including:
I’m a big fan of the cleaning/descaling materials provided by the company.
DeLonghi’s descaling agent is one of the best in the industry, as you can tell from the numerous 5-star reviews on Amazon. When you run out, I highly recommend buying this product again.
The pressurized baskets are another nice touch, especially for beginner home baristas.
A pressurized basket is more capable of creating pressure than non-pressurized baskets, so beginners have less chance of error.
If you get past the beginner phase and want to try a non-pressurized portafilter basket, you can easily find one on Amazon.
Just make sure to buy one that fits the La Specialista's 51mm portafilter head.
Grinding My Coffee Beans
The DeLonghi La Specialista features a built-in grinder with six grind settings. The bean hopper has a 250-gram capacity, and the grind size ranges from coarse to fine grind.
I didn't even have to refer to the manual to start grinding beans. Just add your fresh beans to the bean hopper, which is located at the top left of the machine.
Close the lid and adjust the large slider during operation to adjust the grind size.
This grinder is completely automatic. As soon as I locked the portafilter into place, the blades started working their magic.
I suggest using the 1st setting for espresso, which is best for producing fine coffee grounds.
At first, I was skeptical of the grinder. Many machines offer 12+ grind levels, so 6 didn’t sound all that impressive. My worries were put to bed after the first dose of fresh grounds was complete.
It produces the perfect size grind for making coffee espresso, and it’s very easy to operate.
Another nice touch is the grinder signals. The hopper will literally tell you when it’s time to refill by flashing a signal light.
Best of all, the grinder is ultra quiet, so you won’t have to worry about waking up the fam or roommate.
Pulling My First Espresso Shot
It’s time to move on to the most important aspect of any espresso coffee maker… Can it produce quality espresso?
The answer is YES. After just a single cup of espresso, I can honestly say that the DeLonghi produces some of the best coffee I’ve enjoyed at home.
A big reason for that is the machine’s pre-infusion feature, which releases a small amount of water into the coffee puck before the full extraction.
The pre-infusion of coffee grounds pulls out more flavors and aromas, and DeLonghi’s pre-infusion system works like a charm.
Don’t worry - this stage is automatic, so there’s no need to tinker around with the pressure gauge.
Smart tamping is another feature to look forward to if you decide to buy the La Specialista. With this built-in tamper, there’s no need to manually tamp your coffee grounds.
The grinder will dose just the right amount of ground coffee into the portafilter, and you just need to pull the lever located on the left side of the machine to tamp.
Not only does this mean less elbow grease on your part, but also virtually no cleanup.
The last thing that contributes to outstanding espressos is the La Specialista’s ability to regulate temperature.
The machine was designed to brew within the optimal temperature range of 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit, and it even displays all of this information on the control panel.
My First Time Frothing Milk
DeLonghi originally patented the frothing Panarello steam wand, so I was super excited to give it a test run.
Well, my test run didn’t disappoint; La Specialista’s Advanced Latte System is unlike anything on the market at this price point.
DeLonghi upgraded the Panarello milk steaming wand with the La Specialista.
It’s much easier to handle than the previous version, and it can be adjusted between two frothing modes - flat for steaming or foam for, you guessed it, foaming.
The steam wand is completely automatic. While manual wands do have their perks, this one takes care of everything and requires no technique whatsoever.
Even professional baristas have sung its praises.
To get started, simply add your choice of milk to the milk jug, place it under the steam wand, and turn the knob.
The wand will start spinning to create a vortex, and you’ll have perfectly frothed milk in less than a minute.
Because this is a dual boiler system, you never have to worry about waiting between brewing and steaming.
One boiler is responsible for brewing espresso, while the other solely supplies the wand with hot water. Once you master the machine, you can even brew and steam simultaneously.
Control & Ease Of Use
As I’ve mentioned, the La Specialista is extremely easy to use. It’s clearly designed for beginners who just want to enjoy their coffee cup without having to put in the work.
The machine’s display may not be fancy, but the upside is that it’s easy to understand.
The control panel is simple and elegant, with rotary dials for selecting volumes and specialties as well as buttons for dosing, rinsing, brewing, and customizing profiles.
There's a bit of a learning curve for figuring out how to customize profiles and coffee drinks, but just play around with the settings, and you'll get the hang of it.
Luckily, it's easy to adjust volume from 1 to 3 ounces using the rotary dial, which is very useful when I'm craving a Lungo coffee.
Thanks to the internal sensor, I don’t even have to dose the coffee myself.
The internal sensor can detect the sizes of both filter baskets, and it will automatically dose the ground coffee based on the filter I’m using.
Look, Feel & Size Of The La Specialista
Like most things made by DeLonghi, the La Specialista is built like a tank. It's mainly constructed from stainless steel, and the control panel is wrapped in a sleek black finish.
It's a nice mix between retro and modern, with a pressure gauge serving as a pretty centerpiece.
Size-wise, this is a fairly hefty machine, but you shouldn't have any trouble fitting it on your countertop.
The dimensions are 12.4" by 14.5" by 17.5", and I could immediately tell that it was built to last due to its 30-pound weight.
The 2.5-liter water tank is larger than most. I don’t love that the water tank is located at the back of the machine, but luckily, it can easily be lifted out of place to be refilled in the sink.
There have been some complaints about the quality of the portafilter head since it has a plastic handle, but there’s a specific reason for that.
Because the portafilter comes in direct contact with the brew head, DeLonghi wanted to ensure that no part of the handle would burn its users, and plastic prevents that from happening.
La Specialista Drink Options
Whether you crave a single cup of coffee, double shots of espresso, or a piping hot Americano, the La Specialista can do it. Here’s a complete list of what this machine is capable of:
I especially love that the Americano-brewing process is completely automated.
Most machines require me to first brew the espresso and then move the cup from the espresso tray over to the hot water spout.
With the La Specialista, the water is directly added after the single or double shot has been brewed.
Cleaning & Descaling
Like most aspects of this espresso machine, I'm impressed with its ease of cleaning.
Even though DeLonghi makes it clear that the parts ARE NOT dishwasher safe, everything is easy to remove for washing by hand.
Before you start brewing, I recommend running all removable parts under hot water, like the bean hopper, portafilter, filter baskets, and espresso tray.
It's also a good idea to flush the group head by hitting the water droplet icon on the machine's interface.
I was initially concerned about ground coffee collecting in the grinder blades, but DeLonghi thought about that, too.
The included cleaning brush is long and flexible, and it’s great for loosening dry coffee grounds as well as residue.
Since there’s no water filtration system built in, you might want to use filtered water in your machine.
When it comes time to descale, just follow the descale instructions in the manual - it’s just a matter of adding the solution and hitting a few buttons.
My Favorite Features Of The La Specialista Coffee Maker
There’s a lot to love about the DeLonghi La Specialista, but my most-loved feature is its ability to brew smooth, rich espresso.
A big reason for this is the machine’s pre-infusion feature, which works to evenly distribute hot water across all of the coffee grounds.
Like any espresso machine at this price point, the La Specialista comes with a built-in grinder. Sure, this may be a standard feature, but it’s still worth mentioning.
So far, I’ve found the machine’s grinder to evenly, precisely grind the espresso beans.
Another standout feature is La Specialista’s advanced latte system. The steam wand makes it easy to choose your ideal level of froth, anywhere from microfoam to rich foam.
There have been some complaints about users not being able to create latte art, but I made a pretty flower in my latte just yesterday!
Because this is a dual boiler machine, the brewing boiler is separate from the steam wand’s boiler.
That means there’s no waiting between brewing and frothing, and you can even do both simultaneously. This isn’t technically a necessary feature, but it’s certainly convenient.
Lastly, DeLonghi provides La Specialista customers with a stellar warranty. Many machines in this price range come with a 1-year policy, but not the La Specialista.
My purchase came with a 2-year warranty, and DeLonghi adds another year to the policy after registering on the website.
My Least Favorite Features Of The De'longhi La Specialista
A great thing about the La Specialista is the ability to choose from a variety of settings and customizations.
However, it can take some time to figure out the right combination and perfect the control panel settings. My advice is to just be patient.
My only other complaint is that I've noticed some dripping from the brew head, even after the brewing process is complete.
Luckily, the drip tray catches all this extra liquid, and it's easy to remove, empty, and replace.
DeLonghi La Specialista Vs Similar Coffee Machines
De'longhi La Specialista Vs Arte Vs Presigio
The Arte is another great espresso machine in the La Specialista line of products.
It’s very similar to the original La Specialista in terms of functionality and cost, but it’s more geared towards experimentation.
To let users create and experiment, the Arte comes with a full barista set to play around with different brewing techniques.
If you want to experiment with tamping, grinding, and more, you should definitely consider the Arte.
Then there’s the Prestigio, which is almost identical to the original La Specialista.
The main difference is that the Prestigio comes with a professional milk steaming wand instead of the Panarello.
This means there’s more of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll have more control over your frothed milk.
De'longhi La Specialista Vs Breville Barista Pro
The Breville Barista Pro has an almost identical price tag to the DeLonghi La Specialista.
Thanks to the features of this semi-automatic hybrid machine, it’s a frontrunner in the kitchen appliances industry, just like the La Specialista.
In terms of design, the Breville and DeLonghi are very similar. Both take on a classic, traditional design, and both are built to last.
Overall, though, I prefer the La Specialista for its clever features, like sensor grinding technology, dynamic pre-infusion, and built-in tamping station.
De'longhi La Specialista Vs Breville Barista Express
In my opinion, the Breville Barista Express is the best machine under $1000 for home use.
It has an impressive grinder, it’s built with durable internal components, and the milk frother is ideal for making latte art.
That being said, the DeLonghi is an excellent choice for baristas who value ease of use above all else. Pulling shots is a lot easier, thanks to the integrated tamping system.
But if I had to choose a winner, you'll get more for your money with the Barista Express.
The DeLonghi La Specialista operates using a 19-bar pressure pump. This is higher than the average pressure among home espresso machines, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll achieve proper extraction with every brew.
The DeLonghi La Specialista heats up in about 30 seconds. Once fully heated, the dual boiler system ensures that the ideal temperature will be maintained for both brewing coffee and steaming milk.
Yes, you can easily make hot chocolate with the DeLonghi La Specialista espresso machine. Either use the hot water spout with your favorite hot chocolate mix or create a frothy, chocolatey beverage using the machine’s frothing wand.
Is The La Specialista Worth Your Money?
When it comes to value for money, very few machines outrank the DeLonghi La Specialista. While it’s not the cheapest espresso machine, your money goes a long way with this coffee maker.
Home baristas interested in a no-frills machine that’s easy to use and produces killer coffee will love the La Specialista espresso machine.
You don’t need any experience or technique with this one, and the classic design looks good on any countertop.
If you can't get over the high-ish price tag, then you might benefit from a semi-automatic coffee maker like the Breville Barista Express or even the super-automatic DeLonghi Magnifica.

Cool, Obi and I will be on and waiting around 830-845! I will try and knock together a 4th.
Yah, that game looks great.
What about my Kickstarter for X-Men Legends 2????
That's just because you haven't played aliens yet ;)
Lol dont you give up on me, you!
That's a accurate name for that achievement.
I picked it up as well from the Gamefly sale. If you wan to do the co-op stuff together let me know.
I really liked that game
MACH 4 STYLE MOTHA FUCKA!
I highly recommend this game to everyone
Jekl you are gonna love this one!
Will this qualify as 'hate mail'? :)
I'll send you the bill after my controller goes through my TV.
For the first one i just want to go pick up the collectibles, the 2nd I want to do the dlc, and 3rd i want to do insane run-through/collectibles and dlc.
Depending on schedules I could help. I still need to knock out stuff in Gears 3. Gears 1 & 2 are still fun to play.
Yeah the Backyard games made me feel that way too
I will finish up sluggers tonight. Usually I don't mind playing shitty games for achievements, but Sluggers was just kinda cheap and until you figured it out was a pain.

Awww, I had fun playing that game.
There were parts that were fun and the areas I got frustrated with were all achievement related...like having to redo the story twice
It was my fault for not looking to see you had to do win the mini games (can't do later) or not being able to go back to knock out early games by mercy rule
Again, the things that made the game not fun for me was a combo of cheap AI and me being too lazy to read what I needed to do. I liked the backyard football much more.

The present invention relates to nonmonolithic laser arrays, their fabrication, and their assembly.
The performance of many devices, such as laser printers and optical memories, can be improved with laser arrays having independently controlled lasing elements. For example, laser printers which use an array of lasing elements can have higher printing speeds and better spot acuity than printers that use only a single lasing element. In many applications it is important that the array's lasing elements be accurately positioned and oriented.
Monolithic laser arrays usually output light beams with the same wavelength. Typically, that wavelength can only be varied over a small range. However, in some applications, including color printing, it is desirable to output multiple wavelengths that span a wide range; for example, from the infrared through the visible. In color printing this enables one to match the laser output characteristics to photoreceptor response windows, or to separate overlapping laser beams by the use of dichroic filters. In some applications it may be desirable to emit multiple laser beams with different polarizations or spot profiles. Finally, it is almost always desirable to have low electrical, optical, and thermal crosstalk between lasing elements.
As compared to present day monolithic laser arrays, nonmonolithic laser arrays can provide a greater range of laser beam characteristics (such as wavelength and polarization) and have lower electrical, optical, and thermal crosstalk. Thus, nonmonolithic laser arrays are frequently preferred.
A nonmonolithic laser array typically consists of a plurality of individual laser diodes mounted on a support. Since in many applications the output laser beams must be accurately spaced, the supports should enable accurate positioning of the lasing elements, while not detracting from the advantages of nonmonolithic laser arrays.
Prior art nonmonolithic semiconductor laser arrays usually use planar supports. These planar laser arrays have a major problem with how close the emitted laser beams can be spaced. This follows because a lasing eiement's laser stripe (the source of the laser beam) is generally placed at the center of the lasing element to avoid damage during the cutting of the wafer from which the lasing element is produced. Thus, in the prior art laser stripes could not easily be spaced any closer than the width of a lasing element if they are placed on a common planar substrate.
Kato et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,901,325 teach a non-planar nonmonolithic laser array suitable for use with closely spaced lasing elements. A simplified view of that support in a nonmonolithic laser array is shown in FIG. 1. While the support 10 (with a spacer 12) enables the lasing elements 14 to be spaced within microns, absolute control of the lasing element spacing (how close the lasing elements are to their desired location) is not provided for. Further, the orientations of the lasing elements are not rigidly controlled.
Thus, there exists a need for methods and devices that enable close, accurate spacing of lasing elements in a nonmonolithic laser array without excessive thermal, optical, and/or electrical cross-talk. Such methods and devices are even more desirable if they permit the accurate orientation of the lasing elements.
The present invention provides for nonmonolithic laser arrays comprised of lasing elements mounted on a support that enables accurate positioning and separation of the lasing elements, and that enables low thermal, optical, and electrical cross-talk. While the present invention is usable over a very large range of separations, it is particularly useful when separating lasing elements by less than about 250 microns.
The support is a composite structure having a body from which a spacer protrudes. The support includes a low thermal diffusivity region surrounded by one or more high thermal diffusivity regions which have defined mounting surfaces onto which the lasing elements mount. Thus, the thickness of the spacer controls the horizontal separation of the lasing elements.
If the body and/or the spacer are electrically insulative, an electrically conductive layer can be deposited over one or more of the external surfaces of the body and/or spacer, as required, to enable current flow to the lasing elements. Beneficially, the mounting surfaces of the lasing elements which connect to the support are electrical input terminals. The other terminals of the lasing elements connect via wires to their respective current sources. Thus, the support conducts current for both lasing elements.
Heat generated by current flow through the lasing elements flows down the high thermal diffusivity regions of the spacer and into the body, which is beneficially heatsinked. The low thermal diffusivity region of the spacer provides a thermal barrier which reduces heat flow between the lasing elements. The spacer reduces or eliminates thermal cross-talk between the lasing elements, and also reduces the self-heating of the lasing elements (which causes laser droop).
The support can be shaped to meet its particular application. In many cases the spacer will form a T-shape with the body. In another embodiment, the support has legs formed by a lengthwise slit through the spacer, while the legs have surfaces for receiving a lasing element. The lengthwise slit, which may be filled with a low thermal diffusivity material, forms the heat flow barrier. In another embodiment, the support is an integral unit of a low thermal diffusivity core sandwiched by a high thermal diffusivity material. Generally, the body will be in thermal connection with a heatsink.
Other aspects of the present invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds and upon reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art nonmonolithic laser array;
FIG. 2 illustrates a lasing element suitable for use with the various illustrated embodiment nonmonolithic laser arrays;
FIG. 3 is a cut-away, perspective view of a first embodiment nonmonolithic laser array according to the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a cut-away plan view of a second embodiment nonmonolithic laser array according to the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a cut-away plan view of a third embodiment nonmonolithic laser array according to the principles of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a cut-away plan view of a fourth embodiment nonmonolithic laser array according to the principles of the present invention;
The following description makes reference to various directional signals, such as right, left, up, and down, which are taken relative to the drawings. Those signals are meant to aid the understanding of the present invention, not to limit it.
The following text makes reference to the characteristics of thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity. Thermal diffusivity describes the ability of a material to transfer heat, while thermal conductivity is the product of thermal diffusivity and heat capacity. Since the object of the subsequently described composite structure is to optimize heat transfer away from heat generating lasing elements, thermal diffusivity is the characteristic of most interest.
A typical lasing element used in the subsequently described embodiments is a semiconductor diode laser 20 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The diode laser 20 is comprised of a substrate 22 doped to one electrical type (say n-type) having an overgrown multiple section epitaxial layer 24. The epitaxial layer 24 is comprised of 5 epilayers, 24a through 24e. The layers 24a and 24b are n-type; layers 24d and 24e are p-type; and layer 24c is undoped. The various epilayers serve to confine the recombining carriers and the resulting emitted photons. An electrode layer 28 is formed over the layer 24. The electrode layer 28 can be patterned, or the material in layer 24 can be modified (for example by layer disordering or reverse doping), to confine the input current as required. A second electrode layer 30 is formed over the bottom of the substrate. The diode laser 20 is constructed such that current applied via the electrode layers 28 and 30 causes the diode laser to emit light.
As is well known, diode lasers require optical reflectors, which are usually implemented as cleaved facets, for operation. The optical reflector arrangement for the diode laser 20 is achieved using cleaved end faces 32 (only one of which is shown) which form a cavity for stimulated emission. During lasing, a laser beam 36 is emitted from the end face 32.
To achieve the maximum spacing and positioning accuracy of the laser outputs the lasing elements 20 are mounted on the supports (described below) with the electrode layer 28 in electrical contact with the supports. This is advantageous because the thicknesses of the epilayers 24a through 24e and the thickness of the electrode layer 28 are easier to control than the substrate thickness. Additionally, since the layers 24a through 24e and the layer 28 are very thin (about 2 μm, inclusively), when mounted in this manner the laser beam outputs are very close to the supports. Thus, laser beam separation is essentially equal to the thickness of the support. Finally, mounting the lasing elements in this manner places the heat generating epilayers in good thermal contact with the support, thereby improving heat transfer.
Referring now to FIG. 3, nonmonolithic laser arrays according to a first embodiment of the present invention have two lasing elements 20, designated 20a and 20b, mounted on a support 102. The support 102 is a T-shaped composite structure comprised of a low thermal diffusivity core 104 surrounded by a high thermal diffusivity portion 106, which is electrically conductive (shown as portions 106a and 106b in FIG. 3). The lasing elements are mounted such that 1) they are in thermal contact with the support, and 2) their electrode layers 28 are in electrical contact with the high thermal diffusivity portion 106 (as described above). Illustratively, the core may be silicon while the high thermal diffusivity portion 106 may be copper, gold, or aluminum.
In operation, electrical currents from current sources 108a and 108b are applied to the lasing elements 20a and 20b, respectively. The high thermal diffusivity portion 106 serves as a common conductor for both current sources. Considering now only lasing element 20a, current from the current source 108a is applied to the conductive layer 30 (see FIG. 2), passes through the lasing element 20a, causing it to emit light, flows from the lasing element 20a via the electrode layers 28 into and down the support 102, flows through the support, and returns to the current source 108a. The lasing element 20b operates similarly with respect to current source 108b.
Current flow through the lasing elements generates heat. That heat flows down the high thermal diffusivity portion 106, cooling the lasing elements. This reduces laser droop and the chances of thermal run-away. Heat flowing through the high thermal diffusivity portion 106 is readily removed by proper heatsinking. The low thermal diffusivity core 104 provides a thermal barrier which reduces heat flow between the lasing elements, and thus reduces thermal cross-talk.
As all of the other described embodiments (below) electrically and thermally operate similarly, the above descriptions of electrical and thermal operations will not be repeated.
The principles of the inventive nonmonolithic laser array may be practiced in many other embodiments than that shown in FIG. 3. For example, FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment nonmonolithic laser array 150 which might be highly desirable in a specific application. The laser array 150 has two lasing elements 20, designated 20c and 20d mounted on a high thermal diffusivity support 152. The support 152 is comprised of a silicon inner core 154 surrounded by a diamond outer core 156. As diamond is electrically insulative, to provide a current path for the lasing elements 20c and 20d, a conductive layer 158 is deposited over at least part of the outer core 156. Wires 160 connect the lasing elements and the conductive layer 158 to current sources (not shown in FIG. 4). The diamond/silicon composite structure makes a very effective support structure.
An alternative nonmonolithic laser array 170, similar to the structure shown in FIG. 4, is shown in FIG. 5. The laser array 170 is comprised of two lasing elements 20, designated 20e and 20f mounted on a high thermal diffusivity composite sheet 172. The composite sheet is comprised of a silicon core 174 sandwiched between diamond sheets 176 which have a thin electrically conductive layer over their outside surfaces. As in FIG. 4, the lasing elements mount in electrical contact with the thin electrically conductive layer, and in thermal contact with the diamond sheets. A copper heatsink 178 provides a thermal sink for the composite sheet 172.
Yet another nonmonolithic laser array 200 is shown in FIG. 6. The laser array 200 is comprised of two lasing elements 20, designated 20g and 20h, mounted on legs 202a and 202b, respectively, of a support 204. Between the legs is a gap 206 that may be filled with a low thermal diffusivity material.
While the variously depicted embodiments work over a wide range of lasing element separations, they are particularly useful when the separation is less than about 250 μm. This is because as the separation decreases, the need for thermal insulation between the lasing elements increases.
The materials comprising the various elements of the specific embodiment being implemented should be selected to accomplish the goals of that specific element.
A useful table for selecting materials via their thermal properties is:
______________________________________Thermal Properties of Various Materials at 300 K. Heat Thermal Capacity Conductivity DiffusivityMaterial (J/cm3 /°K.) (W/cm/°K.) (cm2 /sec)______________________________________Al 2.43 2.37 0.98Cu 3.43 3.98 1.16Au 2.48 3.15 1.27Pt 2.84 0.73 0.26Ag 2.48 4.27 1.72Si 1.63 1.41 0.86Diamond (CVD) 1.82 12.00 6.59Diamond (Type IIa) 1.82 20.00 10.99Ni 3.94 0.63 0.16Sn 1.25 0.73 0.59In 1.71 0.86 0.50______________________________________
The various embodiments can be fabricated in many ways. For example, a high thermal diffusivity material can be coated on a low thermal diffusivity material; a high thermal diffusivity material can be bonded (say with epoxy) onto a low thermal diffusivity material; or two high thermal diffusivity layers can be physically separated by air or by a low thermal diffusivity material (as in FIG. 6 ).
Coatings of high thermal diffusivity materials on low thermal diffusivity materials can be accomplished in several ways, such as electroplating or electrodeposition, evaporation, or sputtering of metals, or by material growth, such as CVD diamond growth on silicon, nickel or platinum. When using electroplating, the process must be done under conditions which yield a compact film free of voids. Copper, silver and gold have been electroplated successfully onto silicon T shapes to thicknesses of 10 μm (deposition time of about 48 minutes).
If electrodepositing metal onto a silicon T shaped submount (reference FIG. 4), deposition is best performed after the submount is soldered to a copper heat sink using a solder such as Sn:Ag - 95:5. Presently, the bottom of the inverted T is prepared for soldering using evaporated Cr:Au. The sides of the silicon T are then coated with sputtered Ni:Pt. Electrodeposition is then performed, followed by sputtering a thin Ni:Pt layer on the inverted silicon T. Finally, In (Indium) is evaporated onto the silicon T. Electroless catalytic metal coatings might also be usable in fabricating the high thermal diffusivity elements. CVD diamond grown directly on silicon submounts is also possible.
It is also possible to solder the various elements together. If solder is used, it is beneficial to use a high melting temperature solder, such as In-Sn, to avoid problems when the lasing elements are soldered in place (see below).
Attachment of the lasing elements to the various supports is best performed using a low temperature solder, such as In. First, prior to soldering, the indium pellets used for soldering are immersed in a dilute hydrochloric acid solution for oxide removal. Then, the spacer's mounting surfaces are prepared for soldering by sputter deposition of a thin layer of nickel, followed by a thin layer of platinum. Solder is then deposited onto the spacers using thermal evaporation of the indium pellets from tungsten boats. The objective is to deposit a film that is thick enough for planarization and wetting, but thin enough to allow insignificant material flow. A good In film thickness is around 2-2.5 μm. Next, the lasing elements are brought into close proximity with the indium layer on the spacer and aligned. Then, using visual observation, the temperature of the spacer is raised above the melting temperature of the indium solder and the lasing elements 20 are pressed into place using a vacuum collet. The vacuum is then released, but physical pressure with the collet is maintained. The heating source is then turned off and a cooling nitrogen gas stream is applied to the lasing element. When the solder has solidified the pressure on the lasing element is released. Cooling to room temperature then continues.
The soldering procedure described above can be modified to fit the particular application and materials. However, in all cases surface preparation should be performed carefully to ensure good, reliable thermal and electrical connections.
From the foregoing, numerous modifications and variations of the principles of the present invention will be obvious to those skilled in its art. Therefore the scope of the present invention is to be defined by the appended claims.

The 14th Amendment is one of the most important amendments of the United States Constitution. It contains many clauses that deal with rights of private citizens in relation to state and local governments. Part of the confusion surrounding the amendment has to do with the fact that it contains so many different ideas.
Here is a summary of some of the more commonly cited clauses of the 14th Amendment:
A violation of constitutional laws can sometimes affect many people. For instance, if the government plans to implement a construction project that will affect private property, the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause requires the government to provide the affected persons with due process. This includes such acts as providing them notice of the project, as well as the right to a fair hearing before a neutral judge if requested.
Failure to follow these measures can result in consequences such as an invalidation of the proposed project. It could also result in a damages award to the affected persons, if the due process violation has caused losses. This will vary in each case, and may often require extensive litigation to determine the actual penalties.
Constitutional rights can often be difficult to deal with. It’s in your best interests to hire a qualified government lawyer if you believe that any of your rights have been affected or violated. Your attorney will be able to determine which legal options are available for you, and how to pursue legal action in court. An experienced lawyer in your area can provide you with representation throughout the legal process.
