EFFECTS OF ANNEALING COOLDOWN RATE ON TORQUE TRANSDUCER RESPONSE
FUNCTION IN 4340 HIGH-ALLOY STEEL [Bryan G. Hecox,]{.underline} Joseph
L. Wiewel, and Mark S. Boley\*, Western Illinois University, Department
of Physics, Macomb, IL 61455, [MS-Boley@wiu.edu]{.underline}

In this investigation, we have attempted to define and understand the
change in magnetoelastic torque transducer response as the annealing
cooldown rate is changed in 4340 high-alloy steel. The selection of this
steel for our studies is due to its common use in power-train shafts of
commercial transportation vehicles as well as large-scale agricultural
equipment, where the use of built-in torque transducers without
otherwise changing the power-train shafts is desirable. These
magnetically polarized torque transducers in such real settings are also
desirable due to the non-contact sensors by means of which the magnetic
transducer signal can be captured. Our studies involved the heat
treatment of three separate solid steel 1-inch diameter shafts by a
common hardening process conducted in a helium atmosphere at a
temperature above the steel\'s Curie temperature, followed by a common
annealing process at 843°C for five hours. Subsequently, the three
samples were cooled down at rates of 10°C, 15°C, and 20°C, respectively.
Prior and subsequent to the heat treatment processes, the axial magnetic
hysteresis properties of the samples were measured and their external
field signals were mapped over the magnetically polarized regions both
with and without significant torque (applied shear stress up to 3500
psi) on the samples. The effect of the heat treatment was to produce a
significant increase in torque transducer response in all three cases
with the most dramatic increase occurring for the 20°C anneal; however,
some increase in non-linearity of the response and an improper rezeroing
after the removal of applied torque was observed following the heat
treatments. These changes can be correlated with the modified steel
hardness coefficients and the likely effect of the annealing processes
on both grain size and shape within the steel. Little or no change was
observed in the axial magnetic hysteresis curves of the samples
following their heat treatment.

**Success Story -- A Successful Retreat**

The client, an African American Advisory Committee Chairman, wanted an
outside facilitator from Code 111 to lead a day-long retreat for
committee members. The facilitator would help the group pull together
all their initiatives, re-frame and reinforce their commitment to a
shared vision, and get unstuck from issues that could derail the group
from fulfilling their vision over the next 12 months.

Nedra Weinstein, OD Consultant, worked with the committee's needs as
customers, helping the group identify specific weaknesses in their
approaches by guiding them to focus their efforts on developing and
implementing a transition plan for new leadership that would save the
group time and energy during a transition period. Additionally, her
suggestion to implement a transition plan alleviated the group's concern
about downtime and derailment from objectives during a transition
period. Having an outside OD facilitator gave the group the opportunity
to affirm their direction and their achievements.

As a result of participating in a one day retreat, committee members are
aligned as a "united front" -- clearly and confidently articulating
constituents' issues, promises and commitments in upcoming meetings with
the Center Director. The Center Director can "rest easy" in his choice
of committee members who share a common vision. The African American
Advisory Committee's constituents know that their experiences and
concerns are being succinctly communicated up the ladder to senior
management.

# Aggravated Assault

## Definition

The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines aggravated assault as
an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of
inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. The Program further
specifies that this type of assault is usually accompanied by the use of
a weapon or by other means likely to produce death or great bodily harm.
Attempted aggravated assault that involves the display of---or threat to
use---a gun, knife, or other weapon is included in this crime category
because serious personal injury would likely result if the assault were
completed. When aggravated assault and larceny-theft occur together, the
offense falls under the category of robbery.

## Overview

-   Nationwide, an estimated 862,947 aggravated assaults were reported
    during 2005.

-   In looking at 2- and 10-year trends, the estimated number of
    aggravated assaults in 2005 increased 1.8 percent from the 2004
    estimate but declined 16.8 percent from the 1996 estimate.

-   In 2005, the rate of aggravated assaults in the Nation was estimated
    at 291.1 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants.

-   An examination of the 10-year trend data for the rate of aggravated
    assaults revealed that rate in 2005 declined 25.5 percent when
    compared with the rate for 1996.

-   In 2005, 25.0 percent of aggravated assaults for which law
    enforcement agencies submitted expanded data involved a physical
    (hands, fists, feet, etc.) confrontation. Twenty-one percent of
    aggravated assaults involved offenders with a firearm. (Based on
    Table 19.)

***Expanded aggravated assault data***

Expanded offense data are the details of the various offenses that the
Program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement
agencies report. These details may include the type of weapons used in a
crime, type or value of items stolen, and so forth. In addition,
expanded data include trends (for example, 2-year comparisons) and rates
per 100,000 inhabitants.

Expanded information regarding aggravated assault is available in the
following tables:

Trends (2-year): Tables 12, 13, 14, and 15

Rates (per 100,000 inhabitants): Tables 16, 17, 18, and 19

Weapons: Tables 15, 19, and 22

## What you won\'t find on this page

-   **Information on simple assaults.** Assaults that do not involve the
    use of a firearm, knife, cutting instrument, or other dangerous
    weapon and in which the victim did not sustain serious or aggravated
    injuries are reported as Other Assaults--Simple, Not Aggravated.
    These data are not included in the Aggravated Assault statistics.
    See [arrests]{.underline} for information on other assaults.

Subject: Research Business Models: University of Washington perspective

This note is in response to the notice FR Doc. 03-19935.

Our university is the largest recipient of federal research grants

among US public universities. Our activities are inextricably tied to

federal research funding; indeed, federal grants on our campus exceed

all sources revenue for educational purposes. Therefore, your

Subcommittee on Research Business Models is of great interest and

importance to us.

The categories of information you summarize\-\-- accountability,

regulatory requirements, etc.\-\-- are all issues that we deal with

frequently. There are many complex and interlocking arrangements that

have evolved over the years in response to federal practices. While we

welcome reform, it is also important to recognize that major steps in

such a complex system will have many unintended consequences and

should be approached in a very deliberate and careful way: \"first do no

harm\". A much broader and deeper approach will be needed than is

possible with the regional meeting approach described in the Federal

Register. Those meetings are good, but should be a prelude to a

detailed collaborative design period for any proposed reforms. I would

suggest that active research institutions such as ours be included in

the detailed design, either individually or through organizations such

as the AAU.

One of the great achievements of our federal research apparatus, with

all its faults, is its ability to find and fund the highest quality

programs, relatively unencumbered by political agendas. The tradition

of competitive peer-reviewed science funding at research universities

has served our country well by advancing excellent research in many

areas. It is important that this quality not be sacrified to

efficiency.

Thank you for your kind attention.

The focus of the work is to examine the performance of an immobilized
enzyme micro-reactor constructed by microfabrication techniques. Enzymes
are immobilized on channel walls with cross dimensions on the order of
tens to hundreds of micrometers.

Micro-scale bioreactors are constructed as systems of
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-channels fabricated on silicon wafer
molds upon which a three dimensional SU-8 photoresist surface has been
cast using lithographic techniques. Reactors employing channels with
micro-scale cross dimensions minimize reactant diffusion path lengths to
the catalyst-coated walls. The extremely high surface area to volume
ratio creates a highly efficient continuous flow reaction system. It is
also an excellent material forming the reactor body as it is tough,
light, flexible, and relatively inexpensive.

Experimental results will be presented for several immobilized enzyme
microreactor configurations and dimensions. The microreactor system has
been demonstrated with three enzyme systems---urease, catalase and
amyloglucosidase. System performance is presented as a function of
operating conditions and microchannel geometry.

**CONSUMER EDUCATION QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT (FCC FORM 388)**

**NOW AVAILABLE TO BE FILED IN THE CONSOLIDATED DATABASE SYSTEM (CDBS)**

In the *DTV Consumer Education Order* the Commission sought to ensure
widespread consumer understanding of the benefits and mechanics of the
transition by promoting a coordinated, national DTV consumer education
campaign.[^1] One facet of this campaign was the establishment of a
requirement that commercial and noncommercial broadcasters provide
on-air information to their viewers about the DTV transition by
compliance with one of three alternative sets of rules, and report those
efforts to the Commission and the public.[^2] In particular, the
Commission required that the efforts be recorded on Form 388 and filed
electronically with the Commission.

The next report, covering the second quarter of 2008, is due by July 10,
2008. This second quarter report covers mandatory and voluntary consumer
education activities by all full power broadcasters from April 1 through
and including June 30, 2008. Reports on Form 388 are to be submitted to
the FCC, retained in the station file, and posted on the station's
website, if the station has a website. If in the first quarter report, a
station checked a compliance option in error and has, in fact, complied
with a different option during the second quarter, the station should
indicate the option followed in this filing. [^3]

FCC Form 388 is now available in the Consolidated DataBase System (CDBS)
and the CDBS electronic filing format must be used when submitting FCC
Form 388.[^4] For more information on filing via CDBS, please visit:

**JANITOR OFFERS 10 LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP**

Story by Col. James Moschgat -- Vice Commandant Air Command and Staff
College. While he was a student at the U.S. Air Force Academy, he
learned that the squadron janitor, Mr. William "Bill" Crawford, had
earned the Medal of Honor while serving in the U.S. Army during WWII.
His account deals with the changes in how he and the other cadets viewed
Mr. Crawford and the lessons learned.

-   Be Cautious of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

**Discussion Questions:**

1.  Why do we tend to place labels on other people? Is placing labels on
    others fair to them? Is it fair to you?

2.  How would you define "prejudice"? Are "first impressions" always
    correct?

3.  Do we show respect and courtesy to others because they have earned
    it or do we show respect and courtesy to others because they deserve
    it?

4.  What are some ways that you can learn more about others?

5.  What is humility and how does one attain it?

6.  "Sometimes you must persevere, even without accolades. Don't pursue
    glory; pursue

> excellence." Do you agree with that observation? If so, why? If not,
> why not?

7.  Why do we tend to shy away from tasks that we perceive "are beneath
    us"?

8.  What is the difference between mediocrity and excellence?

9.  Who has been a "Bill Crawford" in your life?

**Bringing It Home:**

\-- Don't always rely on first impressions

\-- Look for the "Bill Crawfords" in your life.

\-- Take what you have heard and learned this evening and apply it to
your everyday lives.

**ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT OF REVENUE THRESHOLD**

This gives notice that the revenue threshold used for classifying
carriers for various accounting and reporting purposes[^1] is increased
to \$117 million. Section 402(c) of the 1996 Act mandates that we adjust
this revenue threshold annually to reflect the effects of inflation
since October 19, 1992, at which time the threshold was \$100 million.
In accordance with the Act, we adjust the threshold based on the ratio
of the gross domestic product chain-type price index (GDP-CPI) in the
revenue year and the GDP-CPI for October 19,1992. The revenue threshold
for 2000 was determined as follows:

\(1\) October 19, 1992 GDP-CPI 91.62[^2]

\(2\) 2000 GDP-CPI 106.99[^3]

\(3\) Inflation Factor 1.1678

(line 2 ÷ line 1)

\(4\) Original Revenue Threshold \$100 million

\(5\) 2000 Revenue Threshold \$117 million[^4]

Service loan making and servicing goals.

Lynn D. Jensen, State Director for USDA Rural Development in South
Dakota said, "I join Rural Housing Director Roger Hazuka and our state
office staff in awarding this well deserved recognition." He continued,
"Our offices in South Dakota did a remarkable job in funding
homeownership loans this past year. The Sturgis office distinguished
themselves with a job very well done in delivering our housing
programs."

Doug Roehl, Rural Development Manager recognized his staff, Susan
Powell - Rural Development Specialist, Maggie Nickisch - Rural
Development Technician, and Gaby Bassett - Rural Development Technician,
for their extra efforts and gave credit for their work with area
communities and borrowers. He also credited local banks with a
willingness to participate in USDA Rural Housing programs. Counties
served by the Sturgis Office include Butte, Harding, Lawrence, Meade,
and Perkins.

USDA Rural Development serves as the lead federal entity for rural
development needs, and administers program assistance through three
agencies: Rural Housing Service, Rural Business-Cooperative Service, and
Rural Utilities Service. Further information on USDA Rural Development
programs can be obtained by visiting USDA\'s web site at
