Mond Process

The Mond Process is a technique created by Ludwig Mond in 1899 to extract and purify nickel. It is done by converting nickel oxides (nickel combined with oxygen) into pure nickel.

The Process

  1. Nickel oxides are reacted with water vapor at 50 degrees Celsius
Result: Oxides in the metal are eliminated, leaving unpure nickel
  1. Impure nickel is reacted with carbon monoxide
Result: Nickel tetracarbonyl is formed
  1. Nickel tetracarbonyl decomposes
Result: Pure nickel and carbon dioxide are left

The Equation

Ni + 4CO → Ni(CO)4 → Ni + 4CO

Aggradation

Aggradation in geology is the building up of sediment in unoccupied spaces. Aggradation occurs when there is a supply of sediment and changes in water flow. The weight of the sediment is too much for the water, and it settles into "bars" or "sandbars". This type of sediment layering may create a "braided stream channel".

Summer smog

Summer smog, which is common in major cities such as New York and Los Angeles, is pollutants, mainly ozone, which collect in large cities, especially during the summer. It is formed when heat from the sun causes ozone to build up in the troposphere, by combining nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. At this point, ozone, which is protective in the stratosphere, becomes very harmful to humans.

Summer smog builds up mainly from April through October. It causes reduced visibility in cities and a visible layer, similar to fog. It also causes a health hazard to people and pollutes the troposphere's air.

Combating Summer Smog

Since smog is harmful to health, cities are working to reduce it. Here are links to websites about cities' efforts and progress against smog.

Dalem Lake

Dalem Lake is a small community located in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The name Dalem Lake has been applied officially to the area since approximately 2002 when the name of the area was officially changed. Previously this community was known in the 1800’s as New Dominion, and later as part of Big Brasd’Or.

The community of Dalem Lake is situated on Nova Scotia's eastern edge on Cape Breton Island, and more specifically the island of Boularderie. The community is within the county of Victoria.

Dalem Lake borders on communites of Big Brasd'Or (North), Millville (east), Boularderie Center (West) and Black Brook (South).

A provincially managed picnic park (74 hectares) surrounds the almost perfect circle of the Lake known as Dalem Lake (or sometimes referred to as Round Lake). The park has a small sandy beach, picnic area, 1 km hiking trail and is suitable for paddle boats. Trout fishing is also popular in the lake.

Dalem Lake is approximately 20kms from the Marine Atlantic ferry terminal to Newfoundland, 40 kms from the city of Sydney, and 40kms from the community of Baddeck. The Transcanada (Highway 105) runs through the community.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience Box Set

Released in 2000, the 57 previously unreleased recordings on the four-disc set was the result of the Experience Hendrix label.

Found among rare demos and lesser-known songs are many big hits, yet all come in alternate and different forms. Along with studio tracks from Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland, the box set include later, post- Jimi Hendrix Experience work, much unavailable since his death.

1st & Ten

1st & Ten is the yellow line that a TV viewer sees during a live broadcast of a college or professional football game. It goes the width of the football field and indicates where the 1st down marker is located. The goal is to make it easier for television viewers to follow play on the field. There is also often a red/pink line that is used to identify the line of scrimmage. The 1st & Ten line is made available by a private company called Sportvision and was developed in 1998.

This is roughly how the 1st & Ten line is made visible on the television screen:

Each football field has a unique contour (not perfectly flat) so it needs to have a 3D model made of it prior to the game. It also has a unique color palette, typicallyl various shades of green, depending on the type of surface (i.e. fake or real grass) and the weather (i.e. bright, shady or even snowing).

There are a number of cameras on the field, each one has a computer with it that monitors how the camera is used during the game (pan tilt, zoom, focus and extenter) and transmits that info live to the Sportvision production truck 30 times per second. This info helps keep the yellow line in the proper place without being distorted whenever the camera follows the players or the ball.

The first computer in the truck gathers all the separate readings from the cameras and transmits a single consolidated data stream to the central computer.

The central computer takes these readings, the 3D field model & color palette, the knowledge of which camera is on the air, and together using a geometrical calculation determines which pixels in the video frame would make up the first down line. All pixels that are obstructed by a player, a ref, the ball or any other object are identified and not included in the calculation. This will ensure that the 1st & Ten line will be behind all the action. The only object that is covered by the line is the field.

The only pixels that should change are the ones that are the same color as the field, typically several shades of green. There are two situations that are difficult. One is when the players uniform color nearly matches that of the field (i.e. Green Bay Packers jersey on a bright sunny day). The other is when the field itself changes, like during a rain/snow storm or if the grass field gets real muddy. In those cases, the field's color palette would need to include brown and/or white shades.

After the central computer has determined which pixels represent the 1st & Ten line, the final computer takes that pixel information and draws the yellow line in video format at 60 times per second.

The data collection and computation requires time. The audio feed goes to an audio delay to be synchronized with the delayed video. The total delay for the viewer from the live feed ends up being about 2/3 sec.

There are seven computers in total and a crew of 4 people. Two crew members, one inside the stadium and one in front of a computer, communicate the position of the real first down line to make sure everything is working. Another crew member is a troubleshooter. The last crew member monitors the various colors that will make up the color palette onto which the line is drawn.

Sportvision

Sportvision is a private company that provides various television viewing enhancements to a number of different professional sporting events. They work with NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NHL, and MBL broadcasts. They also work with college football broadcasts.

In 1996, Stan Honey, the company's current president and chief technology officer, developed a way to track hocky pucks with a red dot as seen by television viewers. It was assumed at that time that viewers had a hard time keeping track of the puck. Ultimately, it was not a success but it was the start of what eventually became 1st & Ten and the formation of the Sportvision company, both in 1998. That was the year that 1st & Ten became a major hit with television viewers when it was in the Super Bowl broadcast. It has since become part of the all standard football broacasts.

Another popular Sportvision product is seen with broadcasts of NASCAR races. It is called RACEf/x and creates virtual flags above the cars to make them easier to follow by the viewers.
