Abstract: Hardened fiber optic connectors having a mechanical splice assembly are disclosed. The mechanical splice assembly is attached to a first end of an optical waveguide such as an optical fiber of a fiber optic cable by way of a stub optical fiber, thereby connectorizing the hardened connector. In one embodiment, the hardened connector includes an inner housing having two shells for securing a tensile element of the cable and securing the mechanical splice assembly so that a ferrule assembly may translate. Further assembly of the hardened connector has the inner housing fitting into a shroud of the hardened connector. The shroud aides in mating the hardened connector with a complimentary device and the shroud may have any suitable configuration. The hardened connector may also include features for fiber buckling, sealing, cable strain relief or a pre-assembly for ease of installation.

Getting dye on your skin is, for the most part, an annoyance and nothing more. "Most of the time this is just a cosmetic issue," Dr. Zeichner explains, "but rarely it can cause serious skin irritation or allergies."

"It seems more about making things easier for the council at the expense of families," Shanks says. "Proposing extra fees on families for late-notification … looks like a money-making exercise.

Permit me to say that almost all of you seated here share a common identity – specifically, I’m referring to my fellow countrymen (but when I say fellow countrymen here, it is not in the warped context of the deceptive clarion call by coup plotters of yester-decades, a call which they used to coral and cajole our people to believe that they meant well.   That some of you were compelled to flee in search of a better quality of life is a consequence of how well the military meant for  Nigerians when they  first struck in January, 1966).

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to generating random numbers using two transistor, two capacitor (2T-2C) ferroelectric memory cells. In accordance with one disclosed embodiment, an n-bit random number can be generated by writing to a uniform data pattern to a set of n 2T-2C ferroelectric memory cells in a 1T-1C mode so that all ferroelectric capacitors of the n 2T-2C cells have a polarization state corresponding to the same data value (e.g., all 0”s or all 1”s). The n 2T-2C cells are then read in a 2T-2C mode, so that a random bit (a 0 or 1) is produced for each cell, resulting in an n-bit random number. The n-bit random number is stored in the n 2T-2C ferroelectric memory cells by a rewrite operation. Such random numbers are useful for many purposes, including security, such as authentication, integrity checking, and encryption, and for identification.

SALMON Bright pink flesh may signal freshness to shoppers eyeing salmon filets, which is why farmed salmon may have been fed synthetic astaxanthin, a version of a naturally occurring compound.

William Henry Perkin wasn’t trying to make Red #40 in his lab that day. As a research assistant for a famed chemist, he was trying to whip up synthetic quinine, a treatment for malaria. Perkin was interested in the properties of coal tar, an abundant byproduct of coke fuel, which comes from heating coal. But instead, he ended up with a dark powder. Washing out his flask with alcohol, Perkin was struck by the residue’s bright purple color. He tried using it to dye silk, and it was a success. Perkin had found the world’s first synthetic dye.
