RAY DIAGRAM OF CONCAVE MIRROR

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. To determine the location of an image using a ray diagram, at least two sets of incident and reflected rays must be constructed for strategic positions on the object. The image of an object is the location where light rays from that object intersect upon reflecting from a mirror. By constructing at least two sets of incident and reflected rays, this image location can easily be found.
If the object is represented by an arrow, then it is common practice to pick the two extreme positions (the top and the bottom of the arrow) as starting points for the incident and reflected rays. Ray construction will result in the determination of the image locations for these two extreme positions on the object. The complete image is merely an arrow connecting these two image locations. This task is further simplified if the object is positioned as an arrow standing upon the principal axis of the mirror. If this is the case, then the image will be standing upon the principal axis of the mirror (and either inverted or upright).
Of all the rays which emanate from the top of the object arrow and are incident to the mirror, there are two rays whose behavior at the mirror surface can be easily predicted. These are the two incident rays which are used in the ray construction. One of the rays moves parallel to the principal axis and reflects through the focal point. The second ray passes through the focal point on the way to the mirror and reflects parallel to the principal axis. All concave and convex mirror ray diagrams can be constructed from knowledge of the behavior of these two rays.

In the animation above, a right-side-up object is located above the principal axis between the center of curvature (C) and the focal point (F). The ray diagram shows that the image of this object is located as an upside-down image positioned beyond the center of curvature (C). In fact, it can be generalized that anytime the object is located between C and F, the image will be located beyond the center of curvature as well. In such cases, the image will be inverted and larger in size than the object. Such images are called real images because they are formed by the actual convergence of reflected light rays at the image location. Real images are always formed on the same side of the mirror as the object.

Opium wars

In 1856 a second war broke out following an allegedly illegal Chinese search of a British-registered ship, the Arrow, in Guangzhou. British and French troops took Guangzhou and Tianjin and compelled the Chinese to accept the treaties of Tianjin (1858), to which France, Russia, and the United States were also party. China agreed to open 11 more ports, permit foreign legations in Beijing, sanction Christian missionary activity, and legalize the import of opium. China's subsequent attempt to block the entry of diplomats into Beijing as well as Britain's determination to enforce the new treaty terms led to a renewal of the war in 1859. This time the British and French occupied Beijing and burned the imperial summer palace (Yuan ming yuan). The Beijing conventions of 1860, by which China was forced to reaffirm the terms of the Treaty of Tianjin and make additional concessions, concluded the hostilities.

How to maintain your laptop battery for more period of time

 At times it may so happen that your cell phone battery is running very low and is likely to go off at any moment, but you're expecting a very important call or need to make one. However, for some reason you are not carrying any battery chargers to recharge your battery and it has become suddenly vital that you do so.

Most people would agree that cell phone batteries seem to be on their last bar or in serious need of a charge at the most inopportune times. Most likely, charging phone batteries is not on your list of things to do before going to bed. Well, put your worries and panic aside, there are ways in which you can charge your cell phone without using the accompanying cell phone charger, which comes as part of the kit. You are about to learn how to charge a phone without a charger, and you'll never miss a call due to a dead battery again!

Step 1

Use your laptop battery. Use the USB cord which allows you to sync your cell phone with your computer and connect the phone to the laptop. Make sure to switch off the phone first. Once connected, the cell phone battery will charge itself by drawing power from the laptop battery. Simple, isn't it?

Step 2

Using USB cables. Somewhat similar to the previous step, find a spare or old USB cable which is no longer required and cut-off the point which is not used to connect to the computer (the end where you would connect a USB-compatible device). You are now going to convert this cable to act as a cell phone battery charger in conjunction with your laptop.

Step 3

Remove the casing. Using a pair of pliers or a sharp blade or knife, remove the plastic casing which covers the cable. Make sure to be careful not to damage the internal wires while cutting off the casing.

Step 4

Locating the wires. Once the casing is off, you will see that there are four wires in the cord. Separate the red and the black wires from the remaining two wires. From the open end of the red and black wires, remove the insulation material covering the actual wires, as in the previous step.

Step 5

Connect to the phone battery. Remove the phone battery from the cell phone case. Look for and locate the positive (+) and negative (-) indicators on the inside of the phone. Place the red wire at the (+) point and the black wire at the (-) point. Place the battery back into the phone, with the wires stuck in between the battery and the terminal points inside the phone.

Step 6

Connect to a computer. Plug the USB end of the cable to your computer and allow the battery to charge from the computer power as in step one. You can charge your cell phone battery until you feel that it has been charged enough to complete your work. Once you get back home, use the phone charger provided for this purpose and recharge your battery fully for further use.

To avoid situations where you phone battery runs low and you don't have the charger close at hand, make sure that you charge your phone on a daily basis. This way, you will not be stranded without a charged phone. Use the methods discussed above, in extreme emergencies only and not too frequently.

HP Bluestone tips and tricks

How to get started

Install Total-e-Server.
Install Maintainance Pack 5. NOTE: The Mp5 fix the problems with GreetingDemo and JSP-EJB Loan Calculator in the TrailMap. However, Mp5 caused other problems on my computer....i would recommend trying out the software without Mp5 to get a feeling for how the software is built up, and then install mp5.
Walk through the TrailMap to get a feeling for what Total-e-Server is.
Read the documentation, do the different examples they have got.
Start creating applications with Visual-XML, thats a way to connect XML-documents to the database and back. Modify the ULF so you can connect to the service in different way.

Visual XML

A good place to get info about visual XML is to search in the documentation for "Bluestone Visual XML Simple Tutorial". Walking through there you will create some basic applications.
Visual XML is having some annoying habits:

• Once you processed "Publish XML from Database", you can not edit the project you created.
• Once you processed "Process XML Wizard", you CAN load the project file again afterwards, BUT you can not edit the methods.

So, if you create a project and you realized "oh, blamey, the default value should really be 1 instead of 2", you cant simply load the project and change the 1 to a 2, instead you have to redo the whole procedure.
Before you run away and start fooling around with Visual XML and re-doing the projects loads of times because of small changes, there is one solution: Load the projectfile into a text-editor.
The projectfiles are located in v-xml/Workspaces/Generated/<ProjName>/<ProjName>.pjx

XSL with Visual XML

If your .xsl file is not applied to your output when you are running the applications you created in Vxml on the UBS, make sure that you have added "file_path" in your c:\TeS\config\apserver.txt.
"file_path" should point to the directory where you have jsp-files, html-files and xsl-files, for example:

 [/MyApp.class]
 program=/MyApp.class
 session_affinity=0
 type=1
 file_path=c:\TeS\config\xfiles
 host=localhost:20000
 

Problems with choosing Data Source in Data Publish Wizard (Visual XML)

If you can't open the examples that comes with bluestone, because the publishing wizard cant connect to the database, try this (probably depends on which version you have of MS Access):

• Open the .mdb files in MS Access, it will ask if it should convert the file, click yes.
• Then save the file with another name.
• Close down Visual XML and MS Access.
• rename the new file to the name the old file have (you have to rename the old file to something else first)
• Then go to Control Panel and choose the ODBC thing, choose the "System-DNS" tab and mark the source you are interested in. Choose properties for that source and choose the correct .mdb file (it should be the same as before, but for some reason Win2k didn't want to work properly for me without this step)
• Then start Visual XML and try publishing wizard again.

HTTP Listener in ULF

If you want to use a form on a webpage to pass information to the ULF, make sure the datafield you want to pass is named "SaDoc" (case-sensitive). If for example the data you want to pass along is in a textarea, the name of the textarea should be "SaDoc".
This detail is not mentioned in the documentation, so if the UBS complains with SaXmlApp: SaGetXmlDoc: Errors Parsing document!!, check that the formfield has got the proper name and you will save yourself from going nuts trying to find info about the problem in the documentation.

FTP Listener in ULF

The FTP-listener does not support passive ftp, make sure you have disabled passive ftp in your ftpprogram when accessing the ULF. Once again, that is not mentioned in the documentation.

Restrictions/Bugs/Problems with Bluestone

• Total-e-Server 7.3 does not work with Windows 9x. There are some workarounds to get it to work, but they are not supported by HP.
• The installationprogram will not work with JDK 1.4.0 beta. Symptoms: The installationprogram starts, the first screen with the increasing bar shows up normally. The second screen (promotional screen for ZeroG.com) appears and disappears as it should, but after that nothing happends. Solution: Install JDK1.3.x instead. Comment: It might have been an issue of variables that were not correctly set up when jdk1.4.0beta was installed.
• The EJB examples GreetingDemo and JSP-EJB Loan Calculator from the TrailMap does not work, it has been tested with JDK 1.3.0/J2EE1.3 beta and JDK1.3.1/J2EE1.3beta2. These problems is fixed by installing Mp5

Error message received when running Simple Example (and purchase tutorial?) in Visual XML

 This message is received when I put up an email listener for Simple Example,
 What it means is simply that it complains that I try to insert the same entry twice in the table.

DELL Inspiron Duo tips and tricks

Hi!

As you can see, I am typing this post on the Dell Inspiron Duo. I really enjoy my Duo as it best fills all holes that have been missing in a mobile tech experience.
A list of some things the Duo is good at:

1. On-the-Go Office Editor (Word, Excel, Blogging, Presentations)
2. Web Surfing (more like Gliding) Experience.
3. Media Enjoyment (Music, Video etc.)
4. The Intended Windows 7 Tablet Experience

The Cons

1. Dell tried their own Tablet Experience and Failed.

How to tweak your Dell Duo
This is how the Dell Duo Looks and feels out of the box:

1. Windows 7 Input Panel is not configured to its optimum usability (almost intrusive really)
2. I bought an HD Screen for a reason I want to use all of it (bar is too big)
3. Scrolling is choppy and just bad.

---

1. Correcting the Windows Input Panel

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:


Place the Title Bar of the keyboard in the middle of the screen, then Drag the lower right corner down so that it stretches to the bottom of the screen.

Dock the Input Keyboard to the Bottom of the Screen:

Now the keyboard is easy to type on.
Notice that the scrolling bars and windows automatically adjust to the keyboard. Very similar to what happens on the ipad when needing to type.
Additionally when you flip the screen, the keyboard automatically adjusts to profile and so does the windows.
Personally I like browsing the web in portrait, and heavier typing in landscape.

Go to Tools and then to Options:

Check to show the Input Icon in the Taskbar, and uncheck the intrusive tab version.
Remember to also check Apply

Notice now, that the Input launcher is in the Taskbar.
Now launching the touch keyboard is as easy as a touch of your thumb!
Note: You can change the size of the button by “Unlocking the Taskbar”. Also, tapping the button a second time will also close the keyboard.
