## Total noise estimates

- Assumptions [Si 8cm + cable 50cm] :
- SVX4 performance  [450 + 43 C (pF)]e
- Nseries ~ [13 C (Rs/132)]e
- Ntot2 ~ Nsvx2 + Nseries2
- R(Si) = 160 ,  R(cable) = 250 

- S/N = 10

- C(Si)

- C(cable) < 0.6 pF/cm

- Initial S/N has to be ~ 12 (comments at the meeting)

- < 0.4 pF/cm for S/N = 12

## Capacitance measurement & FE calculation

- Assumptions used for the calculation:
- 8 m wide and 8m thick traces
- 50 m thick substrate with the r = 3.5
- No special treatment of the fan-in/out region           3/7 (50 m pitch) + 4/7 (100 m pitch) for the calculation.
- For the 2nd prototype, the thickness of the coat is assumed to be 20 m, and the r = 3.5.

## Capacitance measurement  & FE calculation

- FE calculation gives much better agreement. The agreement is 10% or better

|  | Meas | FE calc | Old calc |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| X-A w/o B | 0.355 (0.54) | 0.322 (0.482) | 0.281 (0.372) |
| X-A w/ B | 0.448 |  |  |

## Packing the Dobson in the Silver Box

- So that the Dobson is protected and cushioned, the big silver box for the instrument must be packed correctly. (No “peanut” type packing material!)
- The box must be filled completely so vibration and shifting is minimized.
- The top piece of hard foam must be in place to give stiffness to the box.
- The boxes have been in use for about seven years and  are showing wear and tear.  Some of the packing material has “evaporated.”  Some improvisation may be necessary.

## What goes into the box:

- Dobson....
- Sun director
- Encoder and plate with the hold-down bolt. (Semi-auto Dobson only)
- Counter for Encoder (Semi-auto Dobson only)
- Standard lamps and holder with cable
- Microammeter
- R-dial
- power cord (put the power cord inside one of the large holes in the lower casing of the Dobson).

## Removing the Encoder (Semi-Automated only)

**The encoder connects to the R-dial through a bellows connector (loosen it/them), and to the Dobson lid through a 1⁄4-20 bolt (remove it).  The three big screws are leveling screws – do not loosen these screws (unless the encoder zero/scan is a problem).**

**Leveling **
**Screws**

- Hold Down Bolt

- R-Dial

- Encoder

- Encoder Plate

- Access to Setscrew(s)

- Cap Screws

## Preparing the Dobson – after removing encoder, and R-dial.

**Rods in all the way!**

**Q-levers in the down position**

- Tape the R-dial shaft so it will not move

- Power Cord goes here

- _Thermometer remains in the instrument._

## The Coffin awaits...

- These end pieces support the instrument on the soft foam cradle.  Leave these and the back lower piece in place.

## Dobson in the box

**Dobson in the box**

**R-dial shaft taped, and the R-dial thumbscrew mounted**

- Instrument’s back towards the foam spacer

**Tape on hole for Encoder plate hold-down bolt.**

**Thermometer in instrument – protect the projecting piece.**

**Ground Quartz Plate and Inlet window cover in place.**

## Packing the sub director – wrap in plastic and then in two inch soft foam. 

- Packing the sub director – wrap in plastic and then in two inch soft foam.

## Fully Packed with accessories and filler so that the space is filled completely.  The level is just so that when the top piece of foam is in place, and lid closed, there is a slight compression.

**R-dial taped to top of instrument ,  upside-down **

**Hard Foam Spacer between “nose” and crate wall. IMPORTANT**

## Top foam in place – It’s designed to fit one way.  Look for the slanted left side, right side goes in first, and the left side falls in to place.  There are “sockets” on the underside for the Dobson bits that stick up.

## FRG: DOMAIN ORIENTATION AND ANISOTROPY IN POLED PIEZOELECTRICSKeith J. Bowman, Elliott B. Slamovich and Alexander H. King, Purdue University, DMR-0224991

**Lining up Piezoelectric Crystals**
- The understanding alignment of domains in piezoelectric materials enables understanding of ways to make sensors and actuators that may perform better in applications ranging from medical ultrasound to motion sensors.  Key to gaining this understanding is understanding how individual crystals can be aligned and arranged and then recognizing how the crystals can interact to either sense a motion or vibration or generate one.   Doctoral student Hsin-Yu Li and her co-advisors Professors Keith J. Bowman and Elliott B. Slamovich, have shown that under certain conditions chemical solutions can grow crystals of lead titanate that line up when they grow on a single crystal strontium titanate substrate.  By varying the surface preparation and the conditions the lead titanate can grow producing rectangular-sided objects, stripes or nearly uniform films across the surface.  By investigating the differences in properties produced in each of these types of growth Li will be able to add to understanding of piezoelectric materials.
- This work is notable because we are able to vary the structures produced and understanding the performance differences for each type of microstructure.

## PST Heaters – Proposed Segmentation

**	**Forward = 2289mm. 6 hoops. 10 heaters

- Barrel = 1606mm. 4 hoops. 7 heaters

## Services Document 2_17

- The services document assumes the following
- 	Barrel 12 supply lines
- 	Each forward 24 supply lines
- Each supply line means 2 wires, one in and one out.
- Total wires are then 2x(12+2x24)=120
- Total number of temperature sensors(each has two wires) is 120 in this document, so this is 240 wires.

## Proposed Ganging of Heaters

- Top heaters: gang two => two wires per 2 segments
- Right heaters: gang two => two wires per 2 segments
- Left heaters: gang two => two wires per 2 segments
- Bottom heaters: gang two but take out another wire so that could be hooked up in case of failure.
- So for 2 segments there are 9 wires and 4 power supplies, one wire being normally disconnected.
- Connection to SCT heaters: one heater circuit on each connection => 8 total wires.

## Proposed Wires and Circuits

- 7 barrel segments. 2x10 end segments
- PST heater wires and power supplies from barrel region
- 	3x9 + one special segment of 8 wires = 35 wires
- 	3x4 + 4 power supplies = 16 power supplies
- PST heater wires and power supplies from each end region
- 	5x9 = 45 wires
- 	5x4 = 20 power supplies
- SCT mount heaters
- 	4x2 = 8 wires
- 	4 power supplies
- Temperature sensor per panel=> 108 sensors + 4 for mount heaters.
- 	Total temperature sensors = 112 => 224 wires

## Proposed Power

- We assume each panel is 20 ohms(to be verified on prototype)
- Desire about 20W per panel
- Two panels in series are 40 ohms.
- A power supply voltage of 48V gives about 1A with a bit of margin.

## Summary of Request

- Service doc has 120 heater wires and 240 temperature sensor wires. This has a few more heater wires and fewer temperature sensor wires..

## Migration to PPC at JLab

- Richard Dickson

## VME data interface differences:

**68060 CPU**

**VMEchip2**

**VME**

**mvme177**

**System Local Bus**

**PPC 750 CPU**

**Raven**

**VME**

**mvme2700**

**System Local Bus**

**PCI Bus**

**Universe **

- The completely different bridge chips’ register set resulted in low level VME Direct Memory Access (DMA) code having to be rewritten.
- Any hard coded system local bus mapped VME addresses fail on this migration since PPC VxWorks maps VME blocks to different space.

## VME interrupt differences:

- Only even VME interrupt vectors allowed.
- VME interrupt does not preempt ongoing DMA.

- “Bad VME interrupt 0” messages on console.
**	**move	stop_irq_value, EOI_reg	; write does not complete before
- 	rfi					;       return from interrupt
- 	In this case the code execution can erroneously exit interrupt context prior to the IRQ being de-asserted.  This was fixed partially by executing an “Enforce In-order Execution of IO (eieio)” instruction prior to the rfi.

- DMA transfer

- IRQ

- IRQ

- ISR

- ISR

- Time

## Other Problems:

- VxWorks for the mv2700 configures the PowerPC floating point unit to issue an exception on divide by zero faults (causing task suspension). This was not the case for the 162, 167, 177.  The VxWorks taskSpawn command was overloaded to issue a call to this assembly language code to disable FP exceptions on behalf of the task being spawned.
- In pursuit of increased performance, the PowerPC CPU will combine two consecutive sequential 16 bit writes into a single 32 bit write (referred to as Store Gathering).

- 16 Bit

- 16 Bit

- address

- address + 2

- 32 Bit

- address

## Other Problems (cont.):

- Non-volatile RAM used for maintaining IOC reboot/save/restore dates is not directly accessible (memory mapped) as is the case for a 162, 167, 177 board. Custom driver code was written to emulate  this functionality on the 2700.
- A custom, low level code package (known as timevt) existed to provide asynchronous short period timer functionality. This utilized 162/167/177 specific hardware timer architecture that is unavailable on the 2700 platform.
- The CAMAC interface driver did not work.
- Serial applications need to be tested.
- cmlog had problems building.

- Failures where an error path out of a function neglects to unlock are eliminated.
- Low level functions that require a lock
- epicsGuard reference in their arguments. This helps to eliminate deadlock problems by more clearly documenting the lock hierarchy.
- WIN32 mutex locking runs probably two to three times faster than before

##  Enforcement Guidance

-  Enforcement Guidance

- Presented by:
- Richard Trevillian
- Enforcement Specialist
- Office of Enforcement & Investigation
- May 1999

**DOE PAAA COORDINATORS**

## Scope of Part 830.120 Applicability

- Part 830 defines nonreactor nuclear facility as one involving radioactive or fissionable materials such that a nuclear hazard exists.
- DOE has observed several cases where contractors have assumed the QA Rule didn’t apply to facilities or activities below DOE Standard-1027 Hazard Category III.
- This approach limits the QA Rule to only those facilities with large inventories or hazards.

## OGC Ruling 1995-1

- OGC formulates interpretations of DOE nuclear safety requirements.
- Issued Ruling 1995-1, noting:
- Part 830 was not limited to a subset of nuclear materials, but applied to all DOE activities with the potential for radiological harm.
- Noted in the Preamble to Part 830 that DOE rejected requests for a threshold to exclude low hazard facilities.
- Noted that both Part 830 and Part 835 applied to activities with the potential to cause radiological harm.

## OGC Ruling 1995-1 (cont.)

- Noted that DOE was considering use of DOE Standard-1027 to establish a lower threshold for application of Part 830, and solicited comments.
- No rulemaking for use of Standard-1027 to limit Part 830 applicability was ever issued by DOE.
- Also noted Part 830 applied to the design, manufacture, and assembly of items for use with radioactive materials or that could cause radiological harm at a later time.

## Improper Limitations on QA

- Use of STD-1027 for Part 830 Nuclear Facilities
- Part 830 does not specify any minimum for the hazard to employees or the general public.
- Some confusion has occurred based in part on:
- Open debate about the remaining Part 830 rules;
- Decision by EH-10 to focus its Part 830 enforcement attention on the most hazardous facilities; and,
- Apparent attempts by some contractors to limit their accountability under the QA Rule.

## Enforcement Plan

- EH-10 will apply 830.120 to those facilities, activities and areas that have the potential to cause radiological harm, unless specifically excluded by Part 830 or an approved exemption.
- Primary focus is work process controls.
- DOE will not initiate retroactive enforcement where Standard 1027 has been used to exclude application of Part 830.
- Contractors do not need to revise facility classification lists in IP’s, or attached thereto.

## Enforcement Plan (cont.)

- Coordinators should be cautious to weakening programs in any plan revisions.
- EH-10 will not be limited in enforcing Part 830 based on an improper facility listing in the IP.
- Forthcoming Enforcement Guidance Supplement will detail the period to correct plans and processes.
- Following that period, EH-10 will consider potential enforcement cases using Ruling 1995-1.
- The graded approach to enforcement remains, and is unaffected by this issue.

## Chronic Pain

- -	How can the NIAMS contribute toward understanding chronic pain and developing treatment options for patients who suffer from chronic musculoskeletal pain?
**Key Discussion Points**
- -	Types of pain
- -	Neuroplasticity and pain
- -	Heterogeneity of pain syndromes

**Chronic Pain**

-  2008 NIAMS Scientific Retreat

## All Pain is not the Same

**Four types of pain  **
**-****	****Nociceptive, protective** **pain**—generated by the presence of tissue-damaging stimuli and responds to NSAIDs and opioids
**-****	****Neuropathic** **pain**—caused by damage or entrapment of peripheral nerves and responds to neuroactive compounds (such as tricyclic antidepressants) and traditional analgesics
**Inflammatory** **pain**—caused by tissue injury
**Dysfunctional, non-nociceptive (central)** **pain**—occurs without obvious signs of tissue damage
**Inflammatory pain and non-nociceptive pain are associated with **
**-****	****Allodynia**—the perception of pain in response to a benign stimulus
**-****	****Hyperalgesia**—heightened sensitivity to noxious stimuli

-  2008 NIAMS Scientific Retreat

## Points of Consideration

**Interactions among the peripheral and central nervous systems and the inflammatory system**
- -	Patients with chronic pain conditions undergo neurobiological, psychological, and cognitive and behavioral changes that dramatically affect symptoms and functioning
**Reversible and permanent biochemical and anatomic changes that cause or are caused by chronic pain  **
- -	Mechanisms underlying allodynia and hyperalgesia
- -	Transition from pain as a symptom of a disease to a chronic condition that can be prevented, treated, or cured
**The heterogeneity of pain syndromes  **
- -	Genetic risk factors
- -	Mechanisms by which chronic pain develops
- -	Variations in phenotypic manifestations

- 117 licensed testing sites
- 138 trained counselors
- 25,000 tests a year (60% oral)
- OraQuick since November 2003

## HIV Testing in New Jersey

*HIV Testing in New Jersey*

- Rapid HIV Testing Introduced

## Specificity

- Blood: >99.9 %
- Oral: >99.6%
- No increase last Fall (as SF and NY)
- Not an issue, with 138 counselors at 117 sites

## Counseling

- FDA proposal does not include a target
- Our sites: 99.9% get pre and post test counseling
- But funding depends on documenting counseling
- Pre rapid testing, and preliminary positive rapid testing:
- 66% get post test counseling
- Non-scientific review of Obstetric practices:
- Virtually no counseling

## Counseling false positives

- Rare event for trained counselors
- Trained counselors uncomfortable and often incorrect
- Clinicians may need assistance
- Clinicians may need assistance to follow  preliminary positives

## Counseling

- Target should be substantial equivalence to actual current practices, not an artificial higher standard

## Phase I professional vs OTC?

- False positives due to over sampling
- Don’t mention to consumers, or they’ll do it
- So don’t repeat Phase I studies
- False positives due to high storage temperature
- Repeat “flex studies” with higher stress?

## Summary

- OTC increases knowledge of HIV status
- Specificity is not an issue
- Evaluation of OTC counseling should be equivalence to typical, not ideal current practice
- Re-evaluate “flex studies” for temperature sensitivity

## Optical Navigation Requirements

**Need to detect 8th visual magnitude stars at signal-to-noise 7 or higher both outside and through-periscope to support approach OpNav. **
**Most recent images outside periscope confirm that**
**Need to model camera geometric parameters to < 0.2 pixels**
**Latest images yield results at 0.2 pixel level**
**Need to Detect Wild 2 > E-8d for Ease of Operations**
**Wild2 already detected as of Nov 17 **
**This level of performance will provide 16 km (1-********) flyby control accuracy at E-18h to insure dust collection, spacecraft safety and carrier signal during flyby**

**Wild 2 in a 15 sec exposure**

- CERR - Mastrodemus

- 20 Nov 2003

## Observation Plan

**Most OpNav image set consists of 25 windowed frames with exposures in the 3 - 20 second range.**
**E-50 to E-30d: Two image sets per week**
**E-30d to E-10d: One image set per day **
**E-10d to E-3d: 3 image sets per day**
**E-3d to E-12h: 1 image set/hour (up to 16 frames per set)**
**Windowed images used for calibration and at Annefrank approach**
**Already imaged Wild2 with windowed images**
**OpNav tools and people performed same functions at DS1 / Borrelly**
**Baseline plan sufficiently adequate to tolerate data loss with acceptable degradation in delivery accuracy.  E.g. a 50% data loss will increase the flyby delivery error to ~26 km (1-********) **

- CERR - Mastrodemus

- 20 Nov 2003

## Remaining Efforts 

**Determine need for additional camera heating, geometric calibration **
**Characterize camera sensitivity and window parameter definition for imaging through periscope within E-10d**
**Necessary images will be taken and processed by early-December**
**Determine if OpNav backup at LMA can be provided**
**NAG RFA**
**Only needed if catastrophic event occurs at JPL**
**Action Item on MMO, expected resolution by mid-December**

- CERR - Mastrodemus

## How to proceed with egamma CSC studies?

**The impact is clearly large on all egamma work and particularly in terms of calibration, but also for detailed studies of e-id and gamma-id, not to mention tuning and optimisation of software in preparation for real data**
**We therefore believe that rerunning the simulation for egamma is the only good solution. The next few slides outline a proposal on how to do this within the many constraints.**

## How to proceed with egamma CSC studies?

**Proposal on behalf of egamma and calo performance conveners for discussion at Physics Coordination:**
**Rerun simulation on all egamma-related samples within next months (priorities still to be settled, but more importantly overlap with physics samples to be discussed case by case)**
**Drop HITS and RDOs for wrongly simulated samples. No re-run of reco on wrong samples unless really required.**
**No repeat of extensive calibration effort done between 12.0.3 and 12.0.4**
**Provide AOD-level official fix for wrong egamma calibrations. This will be a useful test of tools we will surely need once we have real data. This requires some detailed work (********-dependence, layer 0 in LAr EM is not affected whereas the others are, etc). Such a fix will not work automatically, nor will it correct other important physics observables such as E****T****miss****. **
**Use 12.0.6 reco until further notice**
**Reconstruct with validated 13 or 12.0.6 depending on time-scales**
