Talk:Gantt chart

This article has been vandalized. Someone please correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.119.133.34 (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

A previous (anonymous) commenter suggested this article needed a better graphic. So I replaced the graphic and cleared this discussion page. If you have any suggestions for improving the new graphic, I'll be watching this Discussion page. --Garrybooker 05:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

There might be a different understanding of terminology, but the definition of TIMENOW(simply defined) is "The date which is the starting point for the remaining work", ie the date for reschdeuling the work not performed.Janus999 10:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Advantages and limitations Section Cleanup
I have added the section cleanup tag to this section as it is not easy to view an overview of this section. I suggest a cleanup splits the advantages and limitations into seperate bullet points, with a paragraph going more in depth for each if required. 144.173.6.74 (talk) 14:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, i would like put a external link to the follow direction http://www.webandmacros.com/excel-gantt-macro.htm, in this page you can see a Macro Excel development to the automatic gantt chart, the software is free, you can use this macro to the project management. I wait your answers, thanks Train78

 * I don't think that would be a good idea. How many webandmacros.com spam links have you added to Wikipedia so far? I count 14 this month. Please stop the self-promotion. (Requestion 04:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC))

 * Hi Requestion, i´m sorry to put a lot of link of my page, i put in this month 5 links (Gantt, mrp, vba, balanced scorecard and CRM), i´m new user of wikipedia, and i think that my web would be interesting about this subjects, my web don´t sell any product, and if you see my web you can find a lot of information, for example i think that could be interested one example of the MRP and if you go to my web you can find an example of the MRP and you can download a free sofwtare developed by macros excel vba to calculate the MRP, in Gantt Chart you can download in my web a free software developed with excel to calculate an automatic gantt chart to management any type if project, you can see in my web in the section of objectives, my objectives http://www.webandmacros.com/objective.htm, i wait your answer, Thanks a lot Train 78. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Train78 (talk • contribs)

 * Sorry Train78 but Wikipedia isn't the place for this. (Requestion 02:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC))

Any chance we could add this link? Its a NON-COMMERCIAL, open source, free software to make Gant charts on Windows. http://sourceforge.net/projects/winplanner/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.11.101 (talk • contribs)
 * No thank you. It's just a download page without any other information that expands on what a Gantt chart is. I just don't see how promotional links to specific software help build on the article, be they commercial or non-commercial. Thank you for asking!  Kuru  talk  02:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add the free CPMTutor site (www.cpmtutor.com). The site has useful examples of Gantt-chart and also an extension to the Gantt-chart called the Fenced-Bar Chart used in construction scheduling. --CPMTutor 22:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I fell that the strengths and weakness section is rather biased towards the weaknesses - a good modern PM package based on GANTT charts can produce man different reports which address many of these so called weaknesses. And the key strength of the GANTT is showing critical path items - ths is not mentioned SimonMWatts (talk) 09:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm just wondering why the link I added was removed. I posted a link to a fully functional web-based Gantt chart, but it was taken down. I'd just like some clarification as to why it was removed, considering it fit perfectly with the subject of the page and was not promotional. --cavejohnson2 —Preceding undated comment added 04:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC).
 * I wasn't the one who removed the link, but looking at it, I can see that it an example of a Gantt chart. It's a lovely Gantt chart, but linking to it doesn't substantially help readers because the only real information they gain from it is what a Gantt chart is, and the purpose of this article is to tell them just that. On the other hand, if you or someone wanted to add another image to this article illustrating different concepts in Gantt charts, that might well be appropriate if it doesn't substantially duplicate the information provided by the images already here. Zachlipton (talk) 05:01, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the explanation. I think the confusion stems from the fact that I didn't properly explain the link I added to the Gantt chart.  It's not just a picture of a Gantt chart, it lets readers interact with and experience a Gantt chart via the web.  I think that adds another element to the page, as the pictures on there currently only show what a Gantt chart looks like, not how it operates.  For example, in the link I added, readers can move the colored blocks (time slots) and the chart will update the corresponding blocks automatically.  I think giving readers the chance to use and play with a working Gantt chart adds a valuable element to the page.  (Cavejohnson2 (talk) 02:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC))

Graphic
The graphic is on the whole good; but isn't it at an impossible stage, by the chart's own terms? It appears to show that Activity C has a finish-to-start dependency on Activity B; and Activity B is 67% complete, and Activity C 50% complete. Shouldn't this be impossible, as it shouldn't be possible to start Activity C until Activity B is complete (or that dependency wouldn't exist)? Or am I misunderstanding (it is a few years since I've done these)? TSP (talk) 21:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes the example is wrong (dependency between B and C), maybe there should be a better graphic. - 62.127.211.2 (talk) 09:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * You can edit this if you like, I found the original code by accident, its in the "Drawing Gantt Charts in LATEX with TikZ, The pgfgantt Package" by Wolfgang Skala. If you use Debian (likely Ubuntu as well), with installed texlive-pictures-doc, the documentation containing the tex example is located here: /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/pgfgantt/pgfgantt.pdf, or via ctan: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfgantt and its public documentation mirror: http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/mirror/ctan/graphics/pgf/contrib/pgfgantt/pgfgantt.pdf see page 48 -87.162.14.133 (talk) 10:45, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Is This Article Misleading?

 * Whilst I applaud the efforts of all those who contribute to Wikipedia I am also concerned that, in my opinion, this article is misleading and incorrect.

 * It is supposed to be about Gantt Charts but has very little about Gantt Charts and is mainly about Bar Charts used in scheduling that some people erroneously refer to as Gantt Charts. The example contains PERT calculations which have nothing whatsoever to do with Gantt and were not developed until around 40 years after his death.

 * May I refer the author and others interested in the subject to two excellent papers from Patrick Weaver; ‘Henry L Gantt, 1861 – 1919. Debunking the myths, a retrospective view of his work’. PM World Journal, Vol. I, Issue V (December 2012) and ‘Where did the Misuse of the names Gantt and PERT Originate?’. PM World Journal, Vol. II, Issue IV (April 2013).
 * As Weaver points out:
 * "Around 1984/5 Microsoft Project was launched and it used the term ‘Gantt Chart’ for its bar chart view and ‘PERT chart’ for its PDM (or CPM) network diagram. Both terms are ‘wrong’ form a purist perspective, but the increase in the usage of both terms seems to correlate with the rise to dominance of Microsoft Project over many competing PC scheduling tools."
 * and furthermore
 * "In the meantime, we should all try to use the correct name for charts, diagrams and processes. It may come as a surprise to some, but the name we call things matters because it communicates what we are talking about to our audience. The alternative was effectively described by Robert McCloskey, a US State Department Spokesman several years ago ‘I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant!’ Effective communication needs a mutual understanding of the terms used, and this is helped if the terms are consistently used for their correct purpose."

 * Davidbordoli (talk) 09:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Adamiecki
The reference given to credit this chart to Adamiecki actually says "This type of chart is very different to the charts developed by Henry Gantt". I think it is fair enough to make a comment that a similar approach to a similar problem had resulted in another type of scheduling chart by Adamiecki, but this should not be in the lead.

Black Belt (geological formation)

Black Belt is a physical geography term referring to a roughly crescent-shaped geological formation of dark fertile soil in the Southern United States. It is about 300 mi long and up to 25 mi wide in c. east–west orientation, mostly in central Alabama and northeast Mississippi.

During the Cretaceous period, about 145 to 66 million years ago, most of what are now the central plains and the Southeastern United States were covered by shallow seas. Tiny marine plankton grew in those seas, and their carbonate skeletons accumulated into massive chalk formations. That chalk eventually became a fertile soil, highly suitable for growing crops. The Black Belt arc was the shoreline of one of those seas, where large amounts of chalk had collected in the shallow waters.

History
Before the 19th century, this region was a mosaic of prairies and oak-hickory forest.

In the 1820s and 1830s, the region was identified as prime land for upland cotton plantations. Short-staple cotton did well here, and its profitable processing was made possible by invention of the cotton gin. It grew better in the upland regions than did the long-staple cotton of the Low Country.

Socioeconomic region
After 1865, the phrase was sometimes used to describe a geopolitical region, much as the terms Snow Belt, Rust Belt, Sun Belt, and Bible Belt are used today. Booker T. Washington wrote in his 1901 autobiography "I have often been asked to define the term 'Black Belt'. So far as I can learn, the term was first used to designate a part of the country which was distinguished by the colour of the soil. The part of the country possessing this thick, dark, and naturally rich soil was, of course, the part of the South where the slaves were most profitable, and consequently they were taken there in the largest numbers. Later, and especially since the war, the term seems to be used wholly in a political sense—that is, to designate the counties where the black people outnumber the white."

Since the 1920s the term Black Belt fell out of favor as a term outside of the specialized field of physical geology, but various authors have written about the fact that the Black Belt geographical formation contained a large number of slaves before the American Civil War, many of whom worked the cotton plantations. Some publications still use the phrase to refer to the geopolitical region.

Jolbert Cabrera

Jolbert Alexis Cabrera Ramírez (born December 8, 1972) is a Colombian former baseball player. Previously, he played in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians (1998–2002), Los Angeles Dodgers (2002–2003), Seattle Mariners (2004), and Cincinnati Reds (2008). Cabrera hits and throws right-handed. He is the older brother of former shortstop Orlando Cabrera. The two played together during the 1997 season while members of the Ottawa Lynx, the Montreal Expos Triple-A affiliate.

Cabrera made his major league debut with the Indians on April 12, 1998, in the only game he played that season. 2001 was Cabrera's best statistical season in Cleveland, as he slashed a line of .261/3/38 with ten stolen bases for the division-winning Indians. A highlight of that 2001 season was in a nationally televised Sunday Night Baseball game on August 5, when Cleveland rallied from a 14–2 deficit in the seventh inning to win 15–14 on Cabrera's broken-bat, walk-off single off Jose Paniagua. Cabrera was traded on July 22, 2002, to the Los Angeles Dodgers for minor league pitcher Lance Caraccioli. He remained there until an early season trade in 2004 sent him to Seattle. He was released in 2005. During the 2007 offseason, Cabrera signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals that included an invitation to spring training. After spending most of the year with their Triple-A affiliate, the Memphis Redbirds, Cabrera was released and signed a minor league contract with Colorado Rockies. On January 5, 2008, Cabrera signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds and was called up to the majors on June 10. On September 7, 2008, Cabrera hit a walk-off single against the Cubs to win the game 4–3. On January 12, 2009, he signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Baltimore Orioles. On January 15, 2010, it was reported that Cabrera had signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets with an invitation to spring training.

In an eight-year career, Cabrera had a batting average of .257 with 18 home runs and 157 RBI in 609 games.

In 2017, Cabrera was a coach for Colombia in the World Baseball Classic, and in the 2023 WBC, he served as the team's manager.

Cabrera currently resides in Scottsdale, AZ.

2005–06 in English football

The 2005–06 season was the 126th season of competitive association football in England.

Overview

 * Chelsea land their second Premier League title in as many seasons. They headed the table virtually all season long and amassed 91 points in retaining the trophy.
 * The rebuilt Wembley Stadium was due to open in time for the FA Cup final in May. However, in August 2005, The Football Association reserved the Millennium Stadium as a backup, as there was some doubt whether Wembley would be ready. The doubts were confirmed on 21 February 2006, when The FA announced that the final would indeed be held at Millennium Stadium. On 31 March 2006 The FA confirmed that the new Wembley would not be opened until 2007.
 * Two clubs opened new stadiums at the beginning of this season:
 * Coventry City – Ricoh Arena.
 * Swansea City – Liberty Stadium.
 * F.C. United of Manchester, formed by disgruntled Manchester United fans, played their first competitive season, competing in the North West Counties Football League Division Two (level 10 of the English football league system), from which they gained promotion at the first time of asking.
 * Reading broke the previous points record of 105 points, taking 106 points from 46 games, scoring 99 goals to earn promotion to the Premier League.
 * Wigan Athletic, who earned promotion to the Premier League by finishing second in the Football League Championship, played their first ever season in the top division of English football and comfortably stayed up, staying clear from the threat of relegation all season.
 * Wigan were the first club to play an inaugural season in the top tier of English football since Barnsley in 1997–98, and the first to avoid relegation in an inaugural top tier season since Millwall in 1988–89.

The top six remain unchanged from the previous month, although Watford have moved to third and Crystal Palace to fifth. Millwall has changed places in the relegation zone with Brighton, whom they lead on goal difference, while Crewe prop up the table.
 * 6 March 2006 — Mick McCarthy is sacked as manager of Sunderland after his team accumulated just 10 points in 28 matches, with Kevin Ball made caretaker manager for the remainder of the season.
 * 25 March 2006 — Reading became the first side to be promoted to the 2006–07 Premier League after drawing 1–1 at Leicester City. 2006–07 will be the Berkshire club's first ever season in England's top flight (though they would have been automatically promoted in 1995 as Division One runners-up had it not been for a reorganisation of the league which saw them forced into the playoffs where they had lost to Bolton Wanderers in the final).
 * 31 March 2006 — March draws to a close with Chelsea now nine points ahead of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League. Liverpool, Tottenham, Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal complete the top six, while Wigan Athletic are now eighth and their dreams of European football are fading fast. Sunderland are still bottom with 10 points though their relegation has yet to be confirmed. Portsmouth and Birmingham City complete the bottom three, both of them being three points behind 17th-placed West Bromwich Albion and with a game in hand. Reading need only one more win from their last six games to confirm the Championship title, while Sheffield United appear almost certain to join Reading in the top flight. Watford, Leeds, Crystal Palace and Preston North End complete the top six. At the other end of the table, Crewe and Brighton look dead and buried, needing four wins each from their last six games and other results to go their way to avoid relegation. Millwall are only five points adrift in the relegation zone but still look bound for relegation as well, just two seasons after competing in the UEFA Cup.

FA Premier League
Chelsea, on 91 points, won their second Premier League title in a row. Manchester United, whose 83-point tally would have been enough for title glory in most seasons, finished runners-up. Liverpool's league form improved drastically following the previous season and they finished in third place, just one point behind United; in addition, they also won the FA Cup, giving manager Rafael Benítez his second major trophy in just his second season. Arsenal snatched the last Champions League spot from under the noses of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, after the latter's players went down with a bout of food-poisoning. The Gunners' 4–2 victory over Wigan Athletic on the final day of the season saw them end 92 years of playing at Highbury before they moved into their new 60,000-seat Emirates Stadium.

Ultimately joining Tottenham in the UEFA Cup were Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United who were promoted the previous season and took the European spot by virtue of being FA Cup runners-up. Despite narrowly losing on penalties to Liverpool, the Hammers enjoyed a successful first season back amongst the elite, finishing in a comfortable 9th place.

Fellow newly promoted side Wigan Athletic, who were many pundit's tip for relegation in pre-season, defied the odds to finish 10th in their first season in the top-flight. Everton crashed out of the Champions League early and were in the relegation zone by October, but a good run of results both after Halloween and in the new year saw them comfortably finish in 11th. Middlesbrough finished 14th after a disappointing league season, but did reach the UEFA Cup Final – the first European final in their history – where they were beaten 4–0 by Sevilla.

In contrast to the other promoted sides, Sunderland, last seasons Championship winners, were relegated with a league record low of 15 points, breaking the previous record that they set themselves in 2002–03, while West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City both hit the 30-point mark and battled bravely, but both were unable to avoid relegation after dismal runs of league form (the Baggies going winless from February onwards, with Birmingham unable to shake off poor away form). Portsmouth spent almost the entire season in the relegation zone, but after the return of Harry Redknapp (many Portsmouth fans were convinced Redknapp only went to bitter rivals Southampton last season just to get them relegated), they stayed up after a late run of good results.

Leading goalscorer: Thierry Henry (Arsenal) – 27

Football League Championship
Reading entered the top flight for the first time in their history, breaking Sunderland's points record of 105 in the process by accumulating 106 points (coincidentally, Sunderland were relegated from the Premier League while breaking the record for lowest number of points under the current scoring system). Sheffield United joined them, returning to the Premier League after twelve years and earning Neil Warnock his fourth promotion as a manager. Surprise package Watford, initially tipped for relegation, entered the play-offs and beat Leeds United 3–0 in the Millennium Stadium final, who were unable to shake off a bad run of form (worse than any of the three relegated sides) that saw them lose out in the race for automatic promotion.

Crystal Palace fared the best out of the teams relegated from the Premier League the previous season, by getting to the play-offs but losing in the semi-finals. Norwich City never managed better than mid-table, while Southampton endured an awful season that saw Sir Clive Woodward take up a much-criticized role as director of football, manager Harry Redknapp return to local rivals Portsmouth and the side looking in danger of relegation for much of the season, only managing a mid-table finish with a late surge in form, thanks to the appointment of George Burley. Chairman Rupert Lowe ultimately paid the price by being forced to resign after the end of the season.

The relegation battle was principally fought by four sides: Crewe, Brighton, Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday. Wednesday ultimately won the battle, and the remaining three were relegated all on the same day, after Wednesday beat Brighton 2–0. Although Crewe and Brighton had not spent long in the division and were considered to be punching above their weight, Millwall underwent a disastrous season, getting through five managers and four chairmen before relegation.

Leading goalscorer: Marlon King (Watford) – 21

Football League One
Southend United surprised many by winning a second successive promotion, returning to the Championship after nearly a decade (when it was called Division One). Colchester United also made the Championship for the first time in their history, but their promotion was tempered by the loss of manager Phil Parkinson to Hull City. A highly competitive play-off race saw Barnsley emerge as winners, beating Swansea City at the Millennium Stadium 4–3 on penalties after both normal time and extra-time finished 2–2, to return to the Championship after three seasons of struggle in Division Two/League One.

Following relegation and becoming the first former European champions to be subsequently relegated to the third tier of their domestic league, Nottingham Forest struggled for most of the season and were in danger of suffering a second successive relegation. The departure of Gary Megson saw a late upturn in form and surge towards the play-offs; however, they missed out on the last day of the season, finishing 7th.

At the bottom, Walsall endured their second relegation in three seasons, Swindon became the first former Premier League side to slip to the bottom division. Hartlepool crashed out of the division after nearly earning promotion last season, while MK Dons suffered the relegation they only avoided the previous season when Wrexham were docked points for entering administration.

Leading goalscorers: Billy Sharp (Scunthorpe United) – 23, and Freddy Eastwood (Southend United) – 23

Football League Two
Carlisle United were another side who earned a second successive promotion, only two years after a relegation from the League that some predicted would see the end of the club. Northampton Town joined them, making up for two seasons of play-off disappointment, and Leyton Orient ended a decade in the bottom division by earning promotion in almost the last minute of the season. Grimsby Town conceded on 91 minutes, and 14 seconds after the fans of Orient celebrated, Lee Steele scored to seal promotion for Orient. Wycombe started the season with a 21-game unbeaten run that saw five of their players named in the PFA League Two team of the year. Two tragic off-the-field events, however, saw them fall away in the second part of the season before losing to Cheltenham Town in the playoff semi-finals. Grimsby Town lost 1–0 to Cheltenham in the final at the Millennium Stadium.

Rushden & Diamonds failed to improve on the previous season, and paid the price with relegation to the Conference. Oxford United joined them, despite the return of manager Jim Smith, and became the first former winners of a major trophy to be relegated to the Conference, doing so on the last day of the season.

Leading goalscorer: Rickie Lambert (Rochdale) – 22

Summer transfer window
The summer transfer window ran from the end of the previous season until 31 August.

January transfer window

Nano-RAM

Nano-RAM is a proprietary computer memory technology from the company Nantero. It is a type of nonvolatile random-access memory based on the position of carbon nanotubes deposited on a chip-like substrate. In theory, the small size of the nanotubes allows for very high density memories. Nantero also refers to it as NRAM.

Technology
The first generation Nantero NRAM technology was based on a three-terminal semiconductor device where a third terminal is used to switch the memory cell between memory states. The second generation NRAM technology is based on a two-terminal memory cell. The two-terminal cell has advantages such as a smaller cell size, better scalability to sub-20 nm nodes (see semiconductor device fabrication), and the ability to passivate the memory cell during fabrication.

In a non-woven fabric matrix of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), crossed nanotubes can either be touching or slightly separated depending on their position. When touching, the carbon nanotubes are held together by Van der Waals forces. Each NRAM "cell" consists of an interlinked network of CNTs located between two electrodes as illustrated in Figure 1. The CNT fabric is located between two metal electrodes, which is defined and etched by photolithography, and forms the NRAM cell.

The NRAM acts as a resistive non-volatile random-access memory (RAM) and can be placed in two or more resistive modes depending on the resistive state of the CNT fabric. When the CNTs are not in contact the resistance state of the fabric is high and represents an "off" or "0" state. When the CNTs are brought into contact, the resistance state of the fabric is low and represents an "on" or "1" state. NRAM acts as a memory because the two resistive states are very stable. In the 0 state, the CNTs (or a portion of them) are not in contact and remain in a separated state due to the stiffness of the CNTs resulting in a high resistance or low current measurement state between the top and bottom electrodes. In the 1 state, the CNTs (or a portion of them) are in contact and remain contacted due to Van der Waals forces between the CNTs, resulting in a low resistance or high current measurement state between the top and bottom electrodes. Note that other sources of resistance such as contact resistance between electrode and CNT can be significant and also need to be considered.

To switch the NRAM between states, a small voltage greater than the read voltage is applied between top and bottom electrodes. If the NRAM is in the 0 state, the voltage applied will cause an electrostatic attraction between the CNTs close to each other causing a SET operation. After the applied voltage is removed, the CNTs remain in a 1 or low resistance state due to physical adhesion (Van der Waals force) with an activation energy (Ea) of approximately 5eV. If the NRAM cell is in the 1 state, applying a voltage greater than the read voltage will generate CNT phonon excitations with sufficient energy to separate the CNT junctions. This is the phonon driven RESET operation. The CNTs remain in the OFF or high resistance state due to the high mechanical stiffness (Young's Modulus 1 TPa) with an activation energy (Ea) much greater than 5 eV. Figure 2 illustrates both states of an individual pair of CNTs involved in the switch operation. Due to the high activation energy (> 5eV) required for switching between states, the NRAM switch resists outside interference like radiation and operating temperature that can erase or flip conventional memories like DRAM.

NRAMs are fabricated by depositing a uniform layer of CNTs onto a prefabricated array of drivers such as transistors as shown in Figure 1. The bottom electrode of the NRAM cell is in contact with the underlying via (electronics) connecting the cell to the driver. The bottom electrode may be fabricated as part of the underlying via or it may be fabricated simultaneously with the NRAM cell, when the cell is photolithographically defined and etched. Before the cell is photolithographically defined and etched, the top electrode is deposited as a metal film onto the CNT layer so that the top metal electrode is patterned and etched during the definition of the NRAM cell. Following the dielectric passivation and fill of the array, the top metal electrode is exposed by etching back the overlying dielectric using a smoothing process such as chemical-mechanical planarization. With the top electrode exposed, the next level of metal wiring interconnect is fabricated to complete the NRAM array. Figure 3 illustrates one circuit method to select a single cell for writing and reading. Using a cross-grid interconnect arrangement, the NRAM and driver, (the cell), forms a memory array similar to other memory arrays. A single cell can be selected by applying the proper voltages to the word line (WL), bit line (BL), and select lines (SL) without disturbing the other cells in the array. Alternatively between the bottom electrode and top metal layer they may be two layers of CNTs: one with uniformly arranged CNTs, and another with randomly arranged CNTs. The uniformly arranged CNTs are used to protect the randomly arranged CNTs from the top metal layer.

Characteristics
NRAM has a density, at least in theory, similar to that of DRAM. DRAM includes capacitors, which are essentially two small metal plates with a thin insulator between them. NRAM has terminals and electrodes roughly the same size as the plates in a DRAM, the nanotubes between them being so much smaller they add nothing to the overall size. However it seems there is a minimum size at which a DRAM can be built, below which there is simply not enough charge being stored on the plates. NRAM appears to be limited only by lithography. This means that NRAM may be able to become much denser than DRAM, perhaps also less expensive. Unlike DRAM, NRAM does not require power to "refresh" it, and will retain its memory even after power is removed. Thus the power needed to write and retain the memory state of the device is much lower than DRAM, which has to build up charge on the cell plates. This means that NRAM might compete with DRAM in terms of cost, but also require less power, and as a result also be much faster because write performance is largely determined by the total charge needed. NRAM can theoretically reach performance similar to SRAM, which is faster than DRAM but much less dense, and thus much more expensive.

Comparison with other non-volatile memory
Compared with other non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) technologies, NRAM has several advantages. In flash memory, the common form of NVRAM, each cell resembles a MOSFET transistor with a control gate (CG) modulated by a floating gate (FG) interposed between the CG and the FG. The FG is surrounded by an insulating dielectric, typically an oxide. Since the FG is electrically isolated by the surrounding dielectric, any electrons placed on the FG will be trapped on the FG which screens the CG from the channel of the transistor and modifies the threshold voltage (VT) of the transistor. By writing and controlling the amount of charge placed on the FG, the FG controls the conduction state of the MOSFET flash device depending on the VT of the cell selected. The current flowing through the MOSFET channel is sensed to determine the state of the cell forming a binary code where a 1 state (current flow) when an appropriate CG voltage is applied and a 0 state (no current flow) when the CG voltage is applied.

After being written to, the insulator traps electrons on the FG, locking it into the 0 state. However, in order to change that bit, the insulator has to be "overcharged" to erase any charge already stored in it. This requires higher voltage, about 10 volts, much more than a battery can provide. Flash systems include a "charge pump" that slowly builds up power and releases it at higher voltage. This process is not only slow, but degrades the insulators. For this reason flash has a limited number of writes before the device will no longer operate effectively.

NRAM reads and writes are both "low energy" in comparison to flash (or DRAM for that matter due to "refresh"), meaning NRAM could have longer battery life. It may also be much faster to write than either, meaning it may be used to replace both. Modern phones include flash memory for storing phone numbers, DRAM for higher performance working memory because flash is too slow, and some SRAM for even higher performance. Some NRAM could be placed on the CPU to act as the CPU cache, and more in other chips replacing both the DRAM and flash.

NRAM is one of a variety of new memory systems, many of which claim to be "universal" in the same fashion as NRAM – replacing everything from flash to DRAM to SRAM.

An alternative memory ready for use is ferroelectric RAM (FRAM or FeRAM). FeRAM adds a small amount of a ferro-electric material to a DRAM cell. The state of the field in the material encodes the bit in a non-destructive format. FeRAM has advantages of NRAM, although the smallest possible cell size is much larger than for NRAM. FeRAM is used in applications where the limited number of writes of flash is an issue. FeRAM read operations are destructive, requiring a restoring write operation afterwards.

Other more speculative memory systems include magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) and phase-change memory (PRAM). MRAM is based on a grid of magnetic tunnel junctions. MRAM's reads the memory using the tunnel magnetoresistance effect, allowing it to read the memory both non-destructively and with very little power. Early MRAM used field induced writing, reached a limit in terms of size, which kept it much larger than flash devices. However, new MRAM techniques might overcome the size limitation to make MRAM competitive even with flash memory. The techniques are Thermal Assisted Switching (TAS), developed by Crocus Technology, and Spin-transfer torque on which Crocus, Hynix, IBM, and other companies were working in 2009.

PRAM is based on a technology similar to that in a writable CD or DVD, using a phase-change material that changes its magnetic or electrical properties instead of its optical ones. The PRAM material itself is scalable but requires a larger current source.

History
Nantero was founded in 2001, and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts. Due to the massive investment in flash semiconductor fabrication plants, no alternative memory has replaced flash in the marketplace, despite predictions as early as 2003 of the impending speed and density of NRAM.

In 2005, NRAM was promoted as universal memory, and Nantero predicted it would be in production by the end of 2006. In August 2008, Lockheed Martin acquired an exclusive license for government applications of Nantero's intellectual property.

By early 2009, Nantero had 30 US patents and 47 employees, but was still in the engineering phase. In May 2009, a radiation-resistant version of NRAM was tested on the STS-125 mission of the US.

The company was quiet until another round of funding and collaboration with the Belgian research center imec was announced in November 2012. Nantero raised a total of over $42 million through the November 2012 series D round. Investors included Charles River Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Globespan Capital Partners, Stata Venture Partners and Harris & Harris Group. In May 2013, Nantero completed series D with an investment by Schlumberger. EE Times listed Nantero as one of "10 top startups to watch in 2013".

31 Aug 2016: Two Fujitsu semiconductor businesses are licensing Nantero NRAM technology with joint Nantero–Fujitsu development to produce chips, announced in 2018. They are announced to have several thousand times faster rewrites and many thousands of times more rewrite cycles than embedded flash memory. As of 2024, these products are still announced but have not reached the market.

Soyuz T-6

Soyuz T-6 was a human spaceflight to Earth orbit to the Salyut 7 space station in 1982. Along with two Soviet cosmonauts, the crew included a Frenchman, Jean-Loup Chrétien.

The Soyuz-T spacecraft arrived at Salyut 7 following launch on 24 June 1982 and one day of solo operations. During the T-6 mission's time docked to the station, the crew performed joint Soviet-French experiments, including cardiovascular echography, alongside the station's resident crew.

Mission parameters

 * Mass: 6850 kg
 * Perigee: 189 km
 * Apogee: 233 km
 * Inclination: 51.7°
 * Period: 88.7 minutes

Mission highlights
Soyuz T-6 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on 24 June 1982 at 16:29 GMT. Docking with the Salyut 7 station was completed manually after problems arose with the spacecraft's onboard automatic docking systems.

Once aboard Salyut 7, the crew completed joint Soviet-French, including echography and antibiotic experiments, with the station's resident crew, the crew of Soyuz T-5.

The mission transported the first French astronaut, Jean-Loup Chrétien, into space. While aboard the station, the resident crew afforded him the opportunity to eject Salyut 7's weekly bag of waste into space through the station's small trash airlock. Valentin Lebedev, writing in his diary, quoted Chrétien as saying Salyut 7 "is simple, doesn't look impressive, but is reliable."

Resonance FM

Resonance 104.4 FM is a London based non-profit community radio station specialising in the arts run by the London Musicians' Collective (LMC). The station is staffed by four permanent staff members, including programme controller Ed Baxter and over 300 volunteer technical and production staff.

Until September 2007, its studios were located on Denmark Street before moving to its present location at 144 Borough High Street, Southwark. The station broadcasts to a 3 mi radius on 104.4 MHz FM from a transmitter on the roof of Guy's Hospital at London Bridge. Its schedule includes nearly 100 shows catering to many sub-communities of the London area on a wide variety of subjects including a multitude of musical genres, local and foreign current affairs and subjects of local interest. Noted for its policy of giving broadcasters free rein of their creative outlet, it has been described by Time Out as "brilliantly eccentric". The station receives funding grants from Arts Council England.

Ethos

The station describes itself as "the world's first radio art station" which aims to provide a radical alternative to mainstream broadcasting. Resonance 104.4 FM features programmes made by musicians, artists and critics who represent the diversity of London’s arts scenes, with regular weekly contributions from nearly two hundred musicians, artists, thinkers, critics, activists and instigators; plus numerous unique broadcasts by artists on the weekday "Clear Spot".

The station presents material ranging from a programme presented by the staff of the experimental music magazine The Wire to Calling All Pensioners, which aims to inform the elderly about local events and benefits entitlement. Live music sessions are featured on shows such as Hello Goodbye, You Are Hear, Hooting Yard on the Air, and Glass Shrimp. Other shows include foreign-language programmes aimed at communities in London that are not served by other broadcasters.

In addition to locally produced programming, Resonance is a member of Radia and a rebroadcaster of American news program Democracy Now!. Resonance FM has received a Sony Award nomination for The Good Drugs Guide, a documentary series presented by Piers Gibbon and David McCandless. The station has been profiled in the pages of The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Daily Telegraph and the Morning Star amongst others.

In 2006 the station was nominated for "The Community Award" by the Sony Radio Academy Awards, but has won the Radio Academy Nations and Regions Award for London for three consecutive years between 2009 and 2011 Station manager Ed Baxter was nominated for "Programmer of the Year" by the Sony Radio Academy Awards in 2010.

History
The London Musicians' Collective originally put together a four-week programme of radio art as part of 1998's Meltdown festival at the South Bank Centre, curated by John Peel. The station operated from the Royal Festival Hall on a month-long Restricted Service Licence on 107.3 FM.

Phil England, an organiser of the original broadcast, described the origins of the station in a text written to accompany the printed programme. The aim, he wrote, was "to raise the specter of radio art in a country where the notion has no common currency".

After a four-year hiatus, the station returned on 1 May 2002 as part of the Ofcom Access Radio Pilot Scheme from studios on Denmark Street in the Soho area of London's West End.

Resonance was awarded a five-year Community Radio licence in December 2005, enabling the station to broadcast 24/7. Ofcom extended the station's FM broadcasting licence in July 2010.

Resonance FM resumed scheduled broadcasting in September 2007 after a short hiatus whilst moving into a new studio building on Borough High Street, Southwark; a short walk from the area where they launched in 1998.

In 2011, Resonance presented a six-week exhibit at the Raven Row Gallery Exhibit in East London. The exhibition theme was the relation of sound to art, and included work from Max Eastley and Takehisa Kosugi.

Broadcasting

The station is broadcast from a transmitter on the roof of Guy's Hospital at London Bridge on 104.4 MHz FM. The transmission power is low compared with London's main radio stations due to the terms of its community radio licence. It can be received throughout central London but does not cover the whole Greater London area. Interference from local pirate radio stations, particularly at weekends, has been and is a problem in some areas. It can also be streamed from the station's web site. Resonance uploads every show to its MixCloud account throughout each day.

Funding
The station receives funding grants from Arts Council England as part of the national portfolio funding programme, which began in 2012. The grant for 2012–2013 was £160,000; 2013–2014 £163,680; 2014–2015 £167,936.

I really appreciate what Wiki has done. It's a wonderful approach to keep information up to date and in the hands of the modernists. It prevent knowledge stagnation while encouraging personal responsibility for sharing perspectives. It's a great tool and I plan on continuing to support it.

My stuff
I'm an artist, although I'd prefer calling myself an "expressionist" because the word "artist" usually invokes concepts of people who focus in one type of art like sculpting but not dancing, or singing but not writing. I just like creating expressions in whatever medium I have available. For me it all comes down to pattern recogniction, deconstruction, & reinvention.

Here's my site: http://TheCreativeRoy.com

I know, "expressionist" makes the self-description of artist seem modest, especially considering the way I employ it in this situation, but I don't see a better single-word description out there. **shrugs**

Duemellon's Dictionary
Sometimes I write in shorthand or refer to words I've completely fabricated. Hopefully I'll remember to include them here with the expectation that they will be so clear and usefull that they will catch one with the rest of humanity as useful concepts in the evolving language (don't worry, I'm really just being silly hoping it will catch on)

Alony (ah-lonn-EE) n.: An egregiously flawed analogy ex.: Your hair is so greasy it's like a stack of paper.

&/r (and/or) conj.: Either element is included, or both may be included (in a binary situation); Any combination elements preceding may be included in what is being referred to

Vox (Voice/Voices or Vocal/Vocals) Mux (Music/Musician)

Escora (ess-SCORE-ah) n.: A substitute for something else which is intended to be a precise fit, replication, but is indeed different in nature or composition. This is usually used in sentence to denote it is unattainable. Such as replacing apples with oranges may seem to be a precise replacement because they're fruit, however, they are fundamentally different which prevents it from being that way.

Complex contractions Wouldn't've - Would not have. For the complex/compound contraction to work the initial word must be able to support each additional contraction independently. ie: You can have "wouldn't" & "would've" so therefore "wouldn't've" is valid. Pollitution (polee-TOO-shun) n.: All the campaign signs, banners, flyers, & other signs & displays that pop up during an election campaign throughout neighborhoods, billboards, or public broadcasts.

Commodtion (com-MODE-shun) n.: The groans, bangs, plops, grunts, banging, & other disturbing noises that are byproducts of having a particularly eventful bowel movement.

Abrahamic Relgions: Those religions that shared the same text Christians refer to as the Old Testament up to the point of Abraham. Namely Christianity, Judaism, & Islam. This term is in response to the phrase "Judeo-Christian" to describe the closeness of their relationship, implying some hieghtened degree of commonality but excluded the commonality they both have with Islam.

Comments
None of the three links to picture sites worked today 22/7/04.

Are some of these bridges still in use in Europe today? The two pictures appear very recent.

Weight of the three parts?
I saw a pic in Bush's 2007 Supplemental Budget request of 7 men moving a panel and wondered how heavy they were. My hunch is 3-4 men could carry the weight if put up on their shoulders, but I can't find the weight so I was wondering if someone could post it. Solidpoint 11:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I've only just seen your question, but in the 2013 version of this article, in para 1 of the 'Design' section it states: "Each individual part could be carried by a small number of men". Para 2 is a bit more specific; it says that each component '...can be lifted by six men'. As an ex- Royal Engineer, I can remember building (or was it stripping?) the odd Bailey bridge; panel parties then consisted of six men; transom parties were eight strong. One panel weighs about 570lbs.
 * Hope this is of some use.

I remember from my time in the Royal Australian Engineers (1964 to 1970) that the instruotor said that a Bailey Bridge panel could be carried "by 6 men or 8 Vietnamese"

Bailey Bridge in use over the Derwent River in Tasmania, following the Tasman Bridge disaster
In 1975 (?) following the collapse of the Tasman Bridge in Hobart Tasmania there was a Bailey Bridge built at Dowsing Point as a temporary crossing for the residents of the city, which was effectively divided in two. From memory it was at least partially a floating bridge. The bridge proved quite useful and remained in place for years after the Tasman Bridge was rebuilt, only removed when replaced by the Bowen Bridge in 1984. It might be worth mentioning in the article. It's hard to find much info about it, or any pictures of the bridge. I do remember crossing it, as does the writer of this article about the bridge with a photo of the remaining pontoons. There's also some very blurry footage of it in the background of this video about the construction of its successor.stib (talk) 12:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Railway use
Can Bailey bridges be used to carry railways, say across rivers?

It is noted that the width of the Bailey bridge carriageway of 12 feet is slighly wider than the width of most trains, namely 10 foot 6 inches. Weight of the train would be an issue too? Tabletop (talk) 01:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

 * On page 165 of JH Joiner's book, 'One More River to Cross', (see above), there is a picture of 'a railway viaduct...' in Italy; indeed, just below it, there is also a section called 'Bailey Railway Bridging' from which I quote: "A standard design was produced for a 60ft span Deck Bailey Railbridge, using two quadruple/single girders spaced at rail distance and 10 x 5in sleepers at 2 1/2 centres for the decking".

 * As far as your second query is concerned, In the 'Widened Bailey Bridges' section of the same book(pages 167 & 168), it states that the introduction of the American Pershing and British Centurion tanks (11ft 8ins and 11ft 1in widths respectively) was against the 'normal' width of the Bailey of 10ft 9ins. The 'Improvised Widened Bailey Bridge' (IWBB) increased the clearance between trusses from 12ft 4in to 13ft 9in which resulted in a roadway width of 12ft 6in. A 'Standard Widened Bailey Bridge' (SWBB) was introduced; roadway width remained at 12ft 6in, although clearance between trusses was increased to 14ft 3 1/2ins. Finally, 'Extra Widened Bailey Bridge' (EWBB), [the variant I knew when I was a member of the Royal Engineers], has a roadway width of 13ft 91/2 ins.

 * It's another example of how flexible the design is. RASAM (talk) 17:07, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Co-ordinates of Stanpit Marshes bridge
The given co-ordinates are in the water about 5 m west of the bridge. This is because the seconds are rounded to whole numbers: thus -1.762155 converts to 1°45'44"W - but 1°45'43.8" marks the centre line of the bridge. Can the seconds be to the first decimal place? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 08:56, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Dimention testing
From article: «To do this efficiently, newly manufactured parts would be continuously added to the test bridge, while at the same time the far end of the test bridge was continuously dismantled and the parts dispatched to the end-users.»

This is a very risky way of testing and do not coinside with the ref. Given that all pieces are made 1 mm too long. After 10 pieces the error is 1cm and a new piece will not fit with an old from early production. The only way to control such production is to test all new elements against the one single refrence element.

Even the ref do not seem to be correct. If you build a complete testbridge from one set of new elements, you prove that these fit together, but not that one piece from this lot will join with parts from an earlier lot.

Most likely all parts where set in a jig during welding to asure correct dimentions. KjellG (talk) 14:40, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Problem in Holland
Would you like to add this information to the article??

A serious problem with Bailey Bridges in Holland was reported by Chester Wilmot, writing in December 1944:

“The present [food] crisis is the result of many factors.

The most important is the complete breakdown of the normal transport system. Before the campaign in Holland, 60% of the foodstuffs was imported by canal.

Today [December 1944) there are few canals working. Many are out of action because the Germans blew the lock-gates or sank barges to block them. Most are straddled by Bailey Bridges, which we had to build in the place of those the Germans destroyed and barges cannot pass under these low bridges” “The food crisis in Holland”, by Chester Wilmot in The Listener (magazine) 28 December 1944, pages 75 and 76 < r/>

Good luck!

My Wiki-mission
The big things I'm concerned about are:

1) Overwriting historical perspectives instead of creating up to date addendums.

 * If we lose our perspective of events in the past as they were perceived at the time we lose an important window into the mindset of society, or that particular author's depection of social reaction. Any updates that refute the on-the-spot reaction should be an addition. Even if there is a retraction to what was considered factual.

 * An important fact about the opinion of the word's shape is that it was, at one point, considered flat. To go through and eliminate that information would remove the context of the importance of the revelation as well as an important piece of accepted general knowledge.

2) Avoiding perspectives of perception to the event and information while ensuring that socially-centric statements are properly noted as such.

 * Archiving is about facts, and a generally held opinion can be considered a fact (in that the opinion was generally held). Such opinions are important in the perspective of the readers to come. It is simultaneously necessary to ensure such opinions are duly noted to be opinions, and that they are properly attributed to the group of people that held it.

 * It would be a great disservice to archive the events of the 9/11 attacks without including the reaction to them. Just imagine if a thousand years from now a researcher with no previous information was to read the event as a series of facts but all forms of emotional reaction were left out? It's the same situation I have faced when reading information about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. or the Chernobyl disaster. It is very important to share an emotional reaction clearly separate from the facts and attributed to the society or group who reacted such a way.

3) Redundant, unnecessarily supurfluous, and information considered important but in perspective is not.

 * As the current contributors we have a responsibility to include information and create articles we consider relevent. The caveat is to avoid expounding on people or places who's relevence to the course of history is dubious. To spend a few pages on World War II is expected, but to have a separate articles for every individual who participated in the war on any level is not. If a tribute is desired and is relevent to the subject, I suggest a large consolidated page for the various subjects. This also means we must reign in our current enthusiasm for current events and consider their relevence to the future audience. An entry about the fictional Star Wars Universe deserves archiving, but the eleventh episode of Vampire Hunter D would be too much focus on a contemporary event.

Well, those are the things I'm on the lookout for.

A tag has been placed on Sean Beall, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking 14:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
