Trusted Computing Group

The Trusted Computing Group is a group formed in 2003 as the successor to the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance which was previously formed in 1999 to implement Trusted Computing concepts across personal computers. Members include Intel, AMD, IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco.

The core idea of trusted computing is to give hardware manufacturers control over what software does and does not run on a system by refusing to run unsigned software.

History
On October 11, 1999, the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (abbreviated as TCPA), a consortium of various technology companies including Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft, was formed in an effort to promote trust and security in the personal computing platform. In November 1999, the TCPA announced that over 70 leading hardware and software companies joined the alliance in the first month. On January 30, 2001, version 1.0 of the Trusted Computing Platform Specifications was released IBM was the first original equipment manufacturer to incorporate hardware features based on the specifications with the introduction of its ThinkPad T30 mobile computer in 2002.

In 2003, the TCPA was succeeded by the Trusted Computing Group, with an increased emphasis on mobile devices.

Membership fees vary by level. Promoters pay annual membership fees of $30,000, contributors pay $15,000, and depending upon company size, adopters pay annual membership fees of either $2,500 or $7,500.

Overview
TCG's most successful effort was the development of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a semiconductor intellectual property core or integrated circuit that conforms to the specification to enable trusted computing features in computers and mobile devices. Related efforts involved Trusted Network Connect, to bring trusted computing to network connections, and Storage Core Architecture / Security Subsystem Class, to bring trusted computing to disk drives and other storage devices. These efforts have not achieved the same level of widespread adoption as the trusted platform module.

Criticism
The group historically faced opposition from the free software community on the grounds that the technology had a negative impact on the users' privacy and can create customer lock-in, especially if it is used to create DRM applications. It received criticism from the Linux and FreeBSD communities, as well as the software development community in general.

ISO standardization
In 2009 ISO/EIC release trusted platform module standards
 * ISO/IEC 11889-1:2009 Information technology—Trusted Platform Module—Part 1: Overview
 * ISO/IEC 11889-2:2009 Information technology—Trusted Platform Module—Part 2: Design principles
 * ISO/IEC 11889-3:2009 Information technology—Trusted Platform Module—Part 3: Structures

Blindern station

Blindern is a rapid transit station on the Oslo Metro's Sognsvann Line. It is situated in the Blindern neighborhood of the Nordre Aker borough of Oslo, Norway. Located 4.0 km from Stortinget, the station is served by lines 4 and 5 of the metro, with a combined five-minute headway. Travel time to Stortinget is seven minutes. Along with Forskningsparken, it serves the campus of the University of Oslo.

The station opened on 10 October 1934 along with the rest of the Sognsvann Line. Until 1994 the station was called Blindernveien, named for the road which crossed the line at a level crossing. The station received a major upgrade in 1993, in which longer platforms and an overpass for pedestrians were installed.

History
Construction of single dwellings in the area commenced in the 1920, starting off with the Blindern Haveby estate. In 1920 the Parliament of Norway decided that the area would be the main campus for the University of Oslo. Meanwhile, Aker Municipality worked with plans for construction of a suburban railway which would serve the areas around Blindern. Holmenkolbanen was granted permission in 1922, but the plans were placed on hold. Work commenced again in 1933 and the line opened on 10 October 1934. It was originally called Blindernveien.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute moved to Blindern in 1937, but large-scale development of the campus did not take place until the 1960s. During the 1980s, the city decided to connect the four suburban lines west of the city center with the Oslo Metro. The Sognsvann Line was selected as the first line to be upgraded, so the two systems would become compatible. The line was upgraded to metro standard by replacing the overhead wire with a third-rail power supply and installing automatic train protection. The upgrade also involved standardizing the design on all the stations on the Sognsvann Line. The station cut off the road Blindernveien, as it could not longer cross the tracks. Originally the plans had called for the street to be carried over the station on an overpass. This was protested by local residents, and eventually led to a much smaller overpass being built which only carried a combined pedestrian and bicycle path.

The station took the new name Blindern from 1994. From 4 April 1993 trains along the Sognsvann Line were connected to the eastern part of the metro, initially connected with the Østensjø Line. From 8 April 1995 the trains from the Grorud Line terminated at Blindern. From 20 August 2003 the new Ring Line opened and Line 5 continued through it. The university was working for renovation of the station for its bicentennial anniversary in 2011, but this was never carried out due to lack of funding. The project would have seen new platforms and a new overpass with separate bicycle and pedestrian pathways.

Service
The station is served by lines 4 and 5 of the Oslo Metro. During regular hours, each operates at a 15-minute headway. Line 5 passes twice through the Ring, so that there are services every five minutes to the city center and twice every fifteen minutes to the Ring Line. Travel time to Stortinget is seven minutes. Operations are carried out by Sporveien T-banen on contract with Ruter, the public transport authority in Oslo and Akershus. The infrastructure itself is owned by Sporveien, a municipal company. Service is provided using MX3000 three- and six-car trains. The station had an average 4,989 boarding passengers in 2002, ranking ninth among the metro stations that year. It is located in fare zone 1, which overlaps with the borders of Oslo Municipality.

Facilities
Blindern is a rapid transit station situated on the Sognsvann Line, 4.0 km from Stortinget in the city center. It is an open ground station featuring two side platforms. The station meets the metro standard of the Oslo Metro. This includes two 120 m side platforms and an overpass. The station is designed by Arne Henriksen and features a short shelter on each platform. The station is located on the western side of the Blindern campus of the University of Oslo, from which the station derives a significant portion of its traffic.

Selenite (ion)

Selenite refers to the anion with the chemical formula SeO3(2−). It is the oxyanion of selenium. It is the selenium analog of the sulfite ion, SO3(2−). Thus selenite is pyramidal and selenium is assigned oxidation state +4. Selenite also refers to compounds that contains this ion, for example sodium selenite Na2SeO3 which is a common source of selenite. Selenite also refers to the esters of selenous acid, for example dimethyl selenite (CH3)2SeO3.

Synthesis and reactions
Selenite salts can be prepared by neutralizing solutions of selenous acid, which is generated by dissolving selenium dioxide in water. The process proceeds via the hydrogenselenite ion, HSeO3−.

Selenite reacts with elemental sulfur to form thioselenate:
 * SeO3(2-) + S → SSeO3(2-)

Most selenite salts can be formed by heating the metal oxide with selenium dioxide, e.g.:
 * Na2O + SeO2 → Na2SeO3

Vril and Sam Spade
Hi Charles, I'm looking for help in obscure corner in the Wikipedia. Sorry for bothering you, but I have the feeling I need (at least) the advice of "senior" editor and admin.

In the Vril article, nonsene gets added again and again. The recent bunch can be seen in this diff. You see, Nazi scientists developing tachyon drive flying saucers, Aldebaran aliens, Canaris suporting the Vril secret society and all the stuff.

This would be easy to handle, if not User:Sam Spade heavily defends all this bogus. I'm clueless on his motives. I cannot see why some obscure websites should be included as POV about Third Reich (military) history.

To my best knowledge, whereas the Thule society did really exist and is documented in mainstream history literature, there never was any Vril society. All the talk of Vril society and their fantastic flying saucers is recent, most likely an invention of the internet age.

So, I'm asking you, how I should proceed, both formally and in content.

Regards, Pjacobi 12:23, 2004 Dec 23 (UTC)

 * OK, my German is not so great, but I have looked at the version on the German Wikipedia. Is that basically correct, in your opinion? Charles Matthews 14:41, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, the German article is fine with me.
 * Also note that Friedrich Wilhelm Haack, who is a lutheran church expert on sects, occultism, etc, did some books on the links between (neo-)nazism and paganism as well as occultism and he covers the Thule society but not the Vril society. From this I deduce that this society was unheard of at the time of writing of his books (late 60s - early 80s) and clearly not linked to historical nazism.

New Mathematics Wikiportal
I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:53, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Southwold etc
Hi Charles,

Jim here, from Stradbroke Road, Southwold. Not quite sure if this is the correct wiki-etiquette to employ in contacting you, but it should at least work. I hope all is well with you and yours. Drop me a line when you can: jb8764@student.open.ac.uk.

Cheers,

 * Well, glad you made it all this way. You caught me in the middle of talking to someone about the dull topic of categories (see my contributions if you like - today's big addition was a long list of books by the pulp writer William le Queux, which is pretty embarrassing. Best to both of you. Charles Matthews 18:41, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Euler angles
Hi I just saw your miserable experience over in Euler-angle land. Tis a pity, since one of your earlier drafts was a much better article. The current article is written kind of as an "euler angles for ninnies", whereas the earlier drafts were much more in line with professional academic standards. It scares me to think that this could happen to one of my articles :)

I'm wondering whether the solution might be to fork the article into two: one that is a simple, plain-language article, targetted to a grade-school / high-school level, and one for college/professionals? I mention this only because there are a number of articles that sit on the border of these two groups, and have been or potentially are vulnerable to these border clashes. I'm thinking that it might be time to establish a policy on this. But the policy would need a set of conventions: naming conventions for the articles, and the 'recommended' way that each of teh two articles should refer to each other. Thoughts? You'd seem to have the power to institute such a policy.

 * It's generally better to have a single article, with different treatments if required. Charles Matthews 13:53, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User Rudchenko's Weird Physics Pages
Hi, I was looking after the hadron article, and found a bizarre edit by user 194.44.210.6 (the same guy as Rudchenko?). Following back through that user's contributions I found a dizzying set of gibberish articles: Gluonic vacuum field, Quantization of the pionic interaction, Extended Yukawa potential, W-field, Coherence condition, etc.

I'm pretty well acquainted with the field in question (field theory and QCD), but I couldn't make heads nor tails of this stuff. There are certainly sentences and equations in these articles that look like good physics, but most of it (the titles for example) seems to be pure gibberish. A google search on any of these terms pulls up essentially nothing. It's hard to tell whether there's anything worthwhile in the articles, since it's clear the author is not a native English speaker. My gut feeling was that the whole set should be deleted, since they're incomprehensible even to experts, and thus useless to the average Wiki reader. But I noticed you tried to clean up the Coherence condition article, so I thought I'd ask for a second opinion.

Xerxes 16:46, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

 * Well, I don't think hasty deletion is the way. I assume this is a Ukrainian phyicist contributing. His English is not good, clearly. What he is up to is explained, for me, in one of the articles that refers back to about 1920. That means that no amount of QCD background is really going to be adequate: the whole way of addressing the field theory problems is different.

 * So far I have just concentrated on tidying up the English. I have seen nothing there to indicate this is incompetent as theoretical physics, so I have been suspending judgement. Charles Matthews 13:51, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Most of these pages have now been listed on WP:VFD. Paul August ☎ 03:22, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Unusual edits to Many-worlds interpretation
Someone (who now apparently has a user name) keeps adding several sentences to the article Many-worlds interpretation which claims that "life is quantum quackery". I have reverted this several times, and I believe there is the so-called 3-revert rule which as far as I can tell applies in any situation. What do I do now. Arbitration? CSTAR 19:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I have now reverted, and others have reverted. The good advice is definitely to stay within the 3RR. If the user reverts often enough he/she can be blocked. Charles Matthews 19:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Fortunately, the activities of User:Aero66 seem to have subsided, fpr the moment at least. Initiating and completing a process of Arbitration/Mediation seemed very daunting and time consuming. CSTAR 14:47, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

discussion at WikiProject Mathematics
Hi Charles,

I initiated a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics about whether to put periods at the end of formulas if the formula is at the end of sentence. So far, we have a wide range of opinions, from "don't", to "either way, even risking inconsistency in an article", to "do". Would you comment on this too? So far, I saw this wide range even in individual articles, where some formulas at the end of sentence have period, some don't, some have it before, some have it after. What do you think? Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 17:22, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I did, about two minutes ago. I think you are right about this. Charles Matthews 17:24, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Unsolicited Interjection: I am probably one of the worst offenders, although I do believe periods should be placed ar the end of formulas if the formula is at the end of sentence. My inconsistency reflects personal sloppiness rather than any ideological preference.  CSTAR 18:07, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * It's just a format issue; but it seems to be best at least 95% of the time. Charles Matthews 18:08, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I forgive CSTAR with one condition: would you say on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics that you agree with period at the end of sentence? :) Oleg Alexandrov 18:12, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

javelin argument
Hello Charles. i'm new in wikipedia. i wrote the "javelin argument". i put a link to the "javelin" page. i can't find it there now. did you erase it? i didn't find anything in the discussion page... i found out about you in the history. Will you be so kind to explain to me how does this system work? (in short of course). the revised article is better, but has no connection with the "javelin" article. Also, is it right to say "..to support that idea the universe or space is infinite.."? in grammar, i mean. isn't it better to say "..to support the idea that the universe or space is infinite.." ? My English are not so great, i'm afraid. Please answer me here or in my talk page. see you.--Arberor 15:01, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Papoose
Hi Charles,

While closing speedy deletions from the WP:VFD page, I noticed that you closed Papoose at Votes for deletion/Papoose due to it being a vanity page, according to the deletion log:
 * 19:24, 20 Mar 2005 Charles Matthews deleted Papoose (vanity)

I believe that vanity is not a valid candidate for a speedy deletion according to WP:CSD. If you agree, please undelete this article so other people can properly vote in the five day voting period on this article. Just to let you know, I've closed your other speedy deletions before this one as valid speedy deletions. Thanks, Deathphoenix 15:20, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Admin?
Oleg, I'd be willing to nominate you as an admin, if you are interested.

Your time here is longer than 3 months, and you have over 4000 edits, so most people would be satisfied. There might be some reason to wait a few weeks longer - 4 months is better, in a sense.

Anyway, what do you think?

Charles Matthews 14:16, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Charles. Well, I am surprised and flattered. Thank you for your offer. I thought about it very carefully. I woud say, I feel that I will have to decline it, and I probably will not change my opinion for at least three more months. This for several reasons.

 * First, the big number of edits you mentioned is partially because I have been doing many really small edits, and partially because recently I have been shamelessly employing a bot to do work for me with minimal or no user interaction.

 * My second reason is that I still feel I am learning to play by the rules, here, so I do not feel comfortable or ready having more responsibilities.

 * My third reason is that I am still learning how to balance Wikipedia with other things in my life, and this makes me feel a bit ambivalent towards commiting myself more to Wikipedia.

 * But I do appreciate your offer, and I leave the options open for considering it at a later time. Thanks a lot! Oleg Alexandrov 17:55, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Help
Hi, You left me a message: ''Please don't remove links, such as you have been doing with reciprocity law. It is not a constructive approach. I am going to rollback.''

The problem is that [reciprocity law] used to redirect straight to [Quadratic reciprocity]. But in photography and holography there is also a reciprocity law. I turned the redirect into a disambiguation page, but noticed there was 4 or 5 pages math page that pointed to it. I went to each one, and in all the cases they had a link to [quadratic reciprocity] and to [reciprocity law]. I have no idea what the reciprocity law in math is, and didn't want to attempt to do a write up on it, and I didn't want to leave it pointing to the disambiguation page, so i removed the link.

What would your suggestion in the future be?

Thanks for your time Johnflux 18:37, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Better to use a dummy link like reciprocity law (mathematics). If you pipe the link like

 * reciprocity law

then nothing gets lost and anyone looking into that red link will be alerted to the issue.

hardworking families
Please reconsider your vote for the article hardworking families; I have expanded it a bit more. Cheers. – Kaihsu 14:16, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that such an article has a basic flaw. Can one define a hardworking family? Is it a dual-income family, which one could define? No - that's not it. If this material has a place, it is somewhere in with tax and benefits policy.
 * Charles Matthews 14:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah. Indeed, no one can define what a hardworking family is.  But one can define what the phrase 'hardworking families' is – a rhetorical device (codeword).  That was what I wrote the article for.  It has more to do with the study of rhetoric than with families. – Kaihsu 15:55, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)
 * But that's why it can hardly justify its place as an article, under that title. It's populist rhetoric. Compare for example ownership society, a comparable thing from Bush 2004. There eventually the article got hacked into shape, because one can say, at least roughly, what it's all about. I just can't see it, for this one. Charles Matthews 16:01, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category:Mathematical methods
Hi Charles. Do you know what articles are supposed to be in Category:Mathematical methods? It seems that you created this category some time ago. At the moment, it has Category:Algorithms as both a subcategory and a supercategory, which is certainly not right. I hope all is well in Cambridge. Best wishes, Jitse Niesen 18:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Good question. It should probably be deleted now: anything in it should go somewhere in the Category:Applied mathematics or Category:Operations research. Charles Matthews 19:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the category should be deleted, so I listed it on Categories for deletion. -- Jitse Niesen 20:47, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My sincere apologies....
i'll steer clear of that page from now on... I just don't understand why he made all those edits one after the other. I haven't seen that many edits from a single anon. user before... and combined with the spelling, I jumped to the conclusion that it was a vandal. Is there any way you could post a warning about that... or do you already have one up and I didn't read it? Again, I'm sorry... and just let me say that it was the first (and probably last) time that I'll revert revert back THAT far. It might also help if you put up something on the article saying the same thing that you did on my talk page... about major work currently being done on the article. Chances are I wouldn't have reacted the way I did if that had been the case. Still, that's no excuse for what I did. if you can, let that editor know I'm sorry... and I hope that I do NOT hear from you again in THIS manner... because it'll mean that I've screwed up somebody else's hard work again. (Needless to say, I do not find any pleasure in doing such things...)

Sorry about that... forgot to append my "sig." --Chanting Fox 21:41, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just removed my "vandalism report," and I don't think that the fact that I deleted it is going to be a problem. I created it, I'm the only person who posted in regard to it, so I can delete it without having to ask permission. Hope I didn't do something wrong again... but just thought it would be a nice thing to do to show I'm sorry.--Chanting Fox 21:51, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Minor maths stuff
Hi Charles. I see you are a senior editor and maths type person. My poor 1 no longer prime page is really getting it in the neck, 1st by someone else (marked for deletion) then a succinct redirect by you. I created the page to fully explore why 1 is no longer considered prime, the point being that it used to be considered prime. While I was expanding the stub more you did the redirect so please look again. I know humour has no place in maths but please humour the dig at mathematician's egos that I put in there. The truth is I have no idea why it REALLY took place since people did and do think its prime.

Please see the Goldbach's conjecture discussion page as I mention this there (I did a little edit in the origins section pointing to 1 no longer prime) and perhaps you can make sense on what look like typos to me.

Also you made unique factorization redirect to unique factorization domain without actually saying what it is. I added the first paragraph for clarity. Please see the discussion page of UFD for a couple other possible issues I spotted.

1 no longer prime is too discursive to be a good WP article. 1 shouldn't be taken to be a prime because it would break unique factorisation; and everyone agrees. Charles Matthews 17:40, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree that it could be a large page if not controlled but its an interesting piece of mathematical history trivia which is why I created it. If we take another meaning of discursive as in "proceeding to a conclusion through reason rather than intuition" it would be good to see who this everyone is, who opposed, their various positions, and most importantly, something I still want to know, WHEN was this all decided? Cyclotronwiki 01:48 27 April 2005 Taipei

I suspect this was all settled between Euler's times and C. F. Gauss's Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. By 1800, that is. Probably the Legendre book on number theory was the turning point, but I can't be sure of that. Anyway systematic books on number theory were seen in the 1790s, and having 1 a prime rapidly gets very many things wrong. Since Gauss apparently first proved uniqueness of factorization, he can't have been using a bad definition to do so. Charles Matthews 17:53, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well I suppose so. Its good to get this info together (perhaps under one article ;) Anyways nevermind hunting down this 1 article, what about the other questions I posed on the discussion pages of Goldbach's conjecture and UFD. I know its late for me but those issues dont make sense. Cyclotronwiki 02:06 27 April 2005 Taipei

reductive dual pair
Some time ago you inserted reductive dual pair as an empty link into my newly created article dual pair. Just in case this was meant as a subtle hint for me to create the article, I have to say I have no clue what a reductive dual pair is. MathMartin 21:38, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's a Lie group concept, investigated by Howe, in representation theory: a pair of subgroups in a larger group with a certain property. Charles Matthews 19:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

NPOV
Hi Charles. Thanks for your note on the Talk:Heckler page regarding when a NPOV tag should be used. I have been looking for guidance on this in Neutral Point of View and NPOV dispute, but can't find anything indicating that the tag should only be used if the issue has already been discussed on the Talk page. Could you point me in the right direction for anything in the way of policy or precedent for this? My original reasoning for putting a NPOV tag was to raise this issue to a wider audience sooner rather than later but if that goes against policy/precedent then obviously I'll need to re-think. Cheers TigerShark 12:29, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Tellurite

The tellurite ion is. A tellurite (compound), for example sodium tellurite, is a compound that contains this ion. They are typically colorless or white salts, which in some ways are comparable to sulfite. A mineral with the formula TeO2 is called tellurite.

Structure and reactions
Tellurite dianion is pyramidal, like selenite and sulfite. The anion has C3v symmetry.

Tellurites can be reduced to elemental tellurium by electrolysis or a strong reducing agent. When fused with nitrate salts, tellurite salts oxidize to tellurates.

Upon acidification of aqueous solutions of tellurite salts, solid hydrated tellurium dioxide (TeO2) precipitates. This reaction allows the separation of tellurium from selenium since selenous acid remains soluble at low pH. The intermediate in the protonation occurs at oxygen to give [TeO2(OH)]−.

Uses
Potassium tellurite (K2TeO3) is used together with agar as part of a selective medium for growth of some bacteria (Clauberg medium). Corynebacteria and some other species reduce to elemental Te, which stains the bacteria black.

Steven Sasson

Steven J. Sasson (born July 4, 1950) is an American electrical engineer and the inventor of the self-contained (portable) digital camera. He joined Kodak shortly after his graduation from engineering school and retired from Kodak in 2009.

Early life and education
Sasson was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Ragnhild Tomine (Endresen) and John Vincent Sasson. His mother was Norwegian.

He attended and graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School. He is a 1972 (BS) and 1973 (MS) graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in electrical engineering.

First self-contained digital camera
Steven Sasson developed a portable, battery operated, self-contained digital camera at Kodak in 1975. It weighed 8 lbs and used a Fairchild CCD image sensor having only 100 × 100 pixels (0.01 megapixels). The images were digitally recorded onto a cassette tape, a process that took 23 seconds per image. His camera took images in black-and-white. As he set out on his design project, what he envisioned for the future was a camera without mechanical moving parts (although his device did have moving parts, such as the tape drive).

In 1977, Kodak filed a patent application on some features of Sasson's prototype camera. Titled "electronic still camera", the patent listed Sasson and Gareth Lloyd as co-inventors. The issued patent, U.S. patent number 4,131,919. claims an arrangement that allows the CCD to be read out quickly ("in real time") into a temporary buffer of random-access memory, and then written to storage at the lower speed of the storage device. Most modern digital cameras still use such an arrangement, which was also described in an earlier MIT patent that employed a vidicon sensor rather than a CCD.

His prototype was not the first camera that produced digital images, but it was the first hand-held digital camera. Earlier examples of digital cameras included the Multi Spectral Scanner on Landsat 1, which took digital photographs of Yosemite before it was launched in 1972, as well as cameras used for astronomical photography, experimental devices by Michael Francis Tompsett et al., and the commercial product and hobbyist camera called the Cromemco Cyclops.

Life and career
His work on digital cameras began in 1975 with a broad assignment from his supervisor at Eastman Kodak Company, Gareth A. Lloyd: to attempt to build an electronic camera using a commercially available charge coupled device (CCD). The resulting camera invention was awarded the U.S. patent number 4,131,919.

Sasson retired from Eastman Kodak Company in 2009, and began working as a consultant in an intellectual property protection role. Sasson joined the University of South Florida Institute for Advanced Discovery & Innovation in 2018, where he is a member and courtesy professor.

On November 17, 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama awarded Sasson the National Medal of Technology and Innovation at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. This is the highest honor awarded by the US government to scientists, engineers, and inventors. On September 6, 2012 The Royal Photographic Society awarded Sasson its Progress Medal and Honorary Fellowship "in recognition of any invention, research, publication or other contribution that has resulted in an important advance in the scientific or technological development of photography or imaging in the widest sense."

Leica Camera AG honored Sasson by presenting to him a limited edition 18-megapixel Leica M9 Titanium camera at the Photokina 2010 trade show event.

Sasson was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2011, and later elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in 2018.

Court of honor (architecture)

A court of honor (cour d'honneur; Ehrenhof) is the principal and formal approach and forecourt of a large building. It is usually defined by two secondary wings projecting forward from the main central block (corps de logis), sometimes with a fourth side, consisting of a low wing or a railing. The Palace of Versailles (illustration) and Blenheim Palace (plan) both feature such entrance courts.

Definition

Technically, the term cour d'honneur can be used of any large building whether public or residential, ancient or modern, which has a symmetrical courtyard laid out in this way.

History
Some 16th-century symmetrical Western European country houses built on U-shaped groundplans resulted in a sheltered central door in a main range that was embraced between projecting wings, but the formalized cour d'honneur is first found in the great palaces and mansions of 17th-century Europe, where it forms the principal approach and ceremonial entrance to the building. Its open courtyard is presented like the classical permanent theatre set of a proscenium stage, such as the built Roman set of opposed palazzi in a perspective street at Palladio's Teatro Olimpico (Vicenza, 1584). Like the theatre set, the built environment is defined and enclosed from the more public space by ornate wrought iron gilded railings. A later development replaced the railings with an open architectural columnar screen, as at Palais Royal (Paris), Schönbrunn Palace (Vienna), Alexander Palace (Saint Petersburg), or Henry Holland's Ionic screen formerly at Carlton House, London (illustrated below).

Examples of a cour d'honneur can be found in many of the most notable Baroque and classicizing buildings of Europe including the Palazzo Pitti, one of the first 16th century residences to open a cour d'honneur in the Pitti's case by embracing three sides of an existing public space. Other 16th century urban palazzi remained resolutely enclosed, like Palazzo Farnese, Rome. In Rome, the wings of Carlo Maderno's Palazzo Barberini design (1627), were the first that reached forward from a central block to create a cour d'honneur floorplan.

On a condensed, urban scale the formula is expressed in Parisian private houses, hôtels particuliers built entre cour et jardin, between court and garden, as can be seen at the Hôtel de Besenval. In these plans, the street front may be expressed as a range of buildings not unlike the ordinary houses (maisons) that flank it, but with a grand, often arched, doorway, through which a carriage could pass into the cour d'honneur secreted behind. In a cramped site, one of the flanking walls of the cour d'honneur may be no more than an architectural screen, balancing the wing of the hôtel opposite it, which would often contain domestic offices and a stable. On a grander scale, the Palais Royal was laid out in just this manner, among the first Paris hôtels particuliers to have a cour d'honneur, which once was separated from the public street by a wrought iron grille, later by an open architectural screen, with its grand open jardin behind, now a public space. Nearby, the Tuileries Palace is gone: but the cour d'honneur with its Arc du Carrousel remains, as do the Tuileries Gardens behind the former palace's site.

In densely built cities disposed on a rigorously democratic grid plan such as New York, private houses with a cour d'honneur were rare, even in the Gilded Age; the Villard Houses on Madison Avenue and the former William K. Vanderbilt House on the Plaza were the rare exceptions. In London, Burlington House retains its cour d'honneur, whereas Buckingham Palace's is no longer extant, as it was remodeled to be enclosed on all four sides, thus becoming (and now known as) a quadrangle.

Hypertag

Hypertag was a British marketing technology company founded in 2001 and purchased by Proxama Ltd in 2011.

History
Established in 2001 and headquartered in Norwich, Hypertag supplied proprietary proximity marketing technology to brands. The company aimed for consumer's mobile phones based on their proximity to a physical location through utilization of short-range mobile wireless technologies including Bluetooth, Infrared, Wi-Fi, and NFC.

Hypertag's offered free downloading of digital content directly to consumer's mobile phones, such as, wallpapers, video clips, games, music clips, vouchers, documents, web links, or mobile applications. Hypertag also attempted to integrate its systems with certain third-party infrastructure providers, such as in-store advertising display screen providers, and was utilized by brands like O2, Vodafone, Peugeot, and CNN. The company also implemented it's systems at visitor attractions, owned by the Royal Institution and English Heritage.

As an example, campaign in 2005, posters advertising a new Gorillaz single DARE were established in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia in September 2005. The posters contained Hypertag technology allowing passers-by to download a 40-second ringtone of the song DARE to their mobile phones.

The technology was also used by the band New Order in advertisements for their album Waiting for the Sirens' Call, and in 2008, Hypertag won a gold award for best location-based advertising technology at the Mobile Advertising and Marketing Awards.

Hypertag was bought by Proxama Ltd on 14 January 2011.

Roosville, British Columbia

Roosville is a small farming community immediately north of the Canada–United States border in the East Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. On BC Highway 93, the locality is east of Lake Koocanusa, at the southeast corner of Tobacco Plains Indian Reserve No. 2.

Sharing the name are adjacent Roosville, Montana and the Roosville Border Crossing.

First Nations
As early as the 1840s, the region was known as Tobacco Prairie and later as Tobacco Plains. The Tobacco Plains band has inhabited this land since time immemorial. The traditional name in the Ktunaxa language for this site is ¿/u¿/uqa, pronounced tsoo-tsoo-qa.

Name origin
The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) moved Fort Kootenay several times within the plains region, finally settling immediately north of the boundary on the east shore of the Kootenay River. In 1865, Michael Phillipps, a clerk, transferred to this outpost for a brief period. In the 1890s, he established a ranch on the plains and the area became known as Phillips.

In 1899, Fred Roo was granted a liquor licence for his hotel at Phillips. A month later, he took charge of the general store. The next year, Fred Roo built a larger hotel. By 1901, he was calling the location Roosville. A year later, the new name was in common usage.

Community
Michael Phillipps was the inaugural postmaster 1899–1903, when the post office closed. Michael and many of his descendants are buried in the Roosville cemetery. Fred Roo was the next postmaster 1908–1922. The post office closed in 1926. In 1910, Miss N. Bartlett was the inaugural school teacher. During the earlier decades, Roosville was centred farther north than the border, closer to present day Grassmere.

Around 1930, the general store closed. During the mid-1930s, a National Defence Relief camp existed at Roosville. In 1949, the school closed.

At the border, a four-unit motel operated 1965–1989.

Triglochin

Triglochin is a plant genus in the family Juncaginaceae described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It includes 25 known species. It is very nearly cosmopolitan in distribution, with species on every continent except Antarctica. North America has four accepted species, two of which can also be found in Europe: Triglochin palustris (marsh arrowgrass) and Triglochin maritima (sea arrowgrass). Australia has many more.

The most widely used common name for the genus is arrowgrass, although these plants are not really grasses. Many of the common names for species make use of the term "arrowgrass", although there are exceptions: T. procera, for example, is commonly known as water ribbons.

Arrowgrasses are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the grey chi moth.

Description
This genus contains marsh herbs with flat or cylindrical leaves.

The inflorescences are spikes or racemes. The flowers have two bracts. Each flower has three or six herbaceous and deciduous perianth segments. Three to six stamens are connected at the base of the perianth segments and fall with the perianths. There are three to six carpels with a one chambered ovary containing a single ovule. The styles are short and may be fused at the base. The stigmas are often stalkless and plumose.

The fruits have 3-6 free or fused curved follicles or achenes (small, dry, one seeded fruits with a loose covering)that break away from a persistent three winged axis. The seed is erect with a straight embryo.

Species
The following species are accepted: • Triglochin barrelieri – Mediterranean

• Triglochin buchenaui – Cape Province

• Triglochin bulbosa – Cape Province

• Triglochin calcitrapa – Western Australia

• Triglochin centrocarpa – Australia

Clear Lake splittail

The Clear Lake splittail (Pogonichthys ciscoides) was endemic to California's Clear Lake and its tributaries until its numbers severely declined due to competition from the introduced bluegill and alterations to the flow of inlet streams. In greatly reduced numbers, the Clear Lake Splittail barely persisted until the 1967 introduction to surrounding lakes of the inland silverside as an experiment by the Department of Fish & Game. A fisherman supposedly introduced the silverside via bait bucket into Clear Lake. This dealt the final blow to the Clear Lake splittail, which had similar feeding habits. All of the splittails were taken by fishermen or have been eaten by catfish and large mouth bass. No Clear Lake splittails have been captured since the early 1970s, and the species is presumed to be extinct.

Talk:British Fantasy Award

Update needed
At the moment, this article lists nominees from 2004 and 2005, and winners from 2004. If anyone has the time and inclination to update this (the 2009 nominations were just announced), as well as to list nominees and winners from earlier in the award's history, that would be great. A listing of past award recipients is here. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

New years
I've added 06, 07 and 08 to the list but I could only find the winners. Also I went a little nuts with the citations so if someone wants to consolidate it in to a single global refrence it might be a good idea. --Elfwood (talk) 15:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Update Nov 26 2012
The BFS link has been changed. Currently you can get the list of winners at http://www.britishfantasysociety.co.uk/british-fantasy-awards/the-british-fantasy-awards-a-short-history/
 * That remains true. -P64 2013-04-16
 * Not any more. https://www.britishfantasysociety.org/british-fantasy-awards/bfawinners/ Is the link at present.Nickpheas (talk) 15:32, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

The 2012 Categories are, I believe, different than what is indicated in intro.
 * The Robert Holdstock Award for Best Fantasy Novel
 * The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel
 * Novella
 * Short Fiction
 * Collection
 * Anthology
 * The PS Publishing Independent Press Award
 * Non-Fiction
 * Magazine/Periodical
 * Artist
 * Comic/Graphic Novel
 * Screenplay
 * Newcomer (The Sydney J. Bounds Award)
 * Special Award (The Karl Edward Wagner Award)

I have cut and pasted the following from the BFS site, but I do not know what to do about the copyright issues.
 * Deleted (see previous version of this section) -P64 2013-04-16

 * I formatted that list of categories for display as a list. And I deleted that massive list of all past winners, which nearly replicates the bulk of the linked page.("Short History" with official list)
 * The lists per se appear to be substantially identical. The current official version includes some prose notes between the years ("Subsequently ..."). The current listings use colons ("Anthology: The Weird ...") where the deleted copy uses tabs that may be useful for some purpose.(previous version of this section)

Karl Edward Wagner Award
"the Karl Edward Wagner Award is given at the discretion of the BFS committee."

What does the KEW recognize? eg, outstanding service to the Society?

--P64 (talk) 18:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

It can, but also service to the genre of fantasy. Here's the description from the awards constitution (http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/the-british-fantasy-awards-constitution-ii/):

"The British Fantasy Special Award is known as the Karl Edward Wagner Award. The Award may be presented to individuals or organisations. Eligibility: this Award is not necessarily restricted to an activity in the year prior to that in which the Award is presented. The Award may go to someone who has made an important contribution to the genre or the Society throughout his/her lifetime; or it may go to the organisers of a special event or publication that took place in the relevant year. Recommendations for this Award will be sought from the membership. *The BFS Committee will determine the winner of this award."

Rolnikov (talk) 06:16, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Also, does anyone know why Karl Edward Wagner, an American, with no obvious connections to the UK or British fandom is so memorialised?Nickpheas (talk) 12:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Award order
I've added the last few years in imitation of the BFS web pages. One thing that I did find annoying me as I did so was that the order of awards seems to change all the time (on the source), making it harder to find the one you're looking for. Is there an objective right order? Probably not. But if I were to impose some standardisation, would anyone object?

Suggest Fantasy novel, Horror Novel, novella, short fiction, anthology, collection, non fiction, newcomer (so grouping the writing awards together), peroidical, imprint, artist, comic, film, KEW.Nickpheas (talk) 12:41, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
