Manual Labor, Its Income
March 12th, 2010
I’ve been working with my dad as a landscape architect and performing estate maintenance. Our most recent endeavor is figuring out, first, how the home’s elevator works and, second, how to fix it. The problem lies in the fact that it is a HYDRO elevator and is entirely mechanically operated. A closed loop of chains and cables on pulleys opens and closes the valve through which water passes and creates pressure to raise the cab up the shaft. The mysteries are many. How does the cable only move so much to open and close the vale, while the cab moves from floor to floor. It is not a continuous loop in that the cable must only move not more than a foot, since it is actually bolted to one of the pulleys, or large wheel, in the system, preventing it from wrapping around this wheel.
Diagrams and photos to come.
Rammer for tank gun loading: US Pat. No. 7,674,199
March 12th, 2010
, issued on March 9, 2010 to  of Irvine, CA, discloses a rigidizable chain for use in loading ammunition rounds into the breach of a tank gun.
Large-caliber tank guns utilize a rammer to load the ammunition rounds into the gun breach with sufficient force and speed to position the rounds (which can weigh 110 pounds or more) properly. In view of the space limitations, these rammers are designed to be stowable. Previously-used rammers are described by the patent as being complex, expensive, or suffering from large “jerking” movements due to fluctuations in transverse velocity or acceleration.  The patent discloses that its rigidizable chain ”produces a significantly smoother chain movement and rammer action.”
Meggitt produces various ammunition handling systems for tanks and helicopters, one of which is the for 105mm mobile gun systems, which includes a “self-locking zipperchain rammer” which might be covered by the ‘199 patent.Â
 The ‘199 patent issued with an additional 902 days of patent term (the time that the patent may be asserted against accused infringers). The standard patent term is 20 years from the filing date of the patent application, however, in certain circumstances, additional time may be granted to make up for delays in the USPTO’s handling of the patent application. In a recent federal appeals court decision, it was found that the USPTO was using an incorrect algorithm to calculate the ”patent term adjustments.” As a result, the patent term adjustments for certain recently issued U.S. patents are by the USPTO upon request by the patentee.
Quartz vs. Mechanical Watches
March 11th, 2010
The revolution in the watchmaking industry came in the late 70s, when most of the manufacturers start using quartz movements in their timepieces. Quartz mechanisms, although very precise, were very cheap to manufacture. An opportunity to make watches that cost less and keep accuracy for as long as the battery is strong was very tempting for the most of the watch companies. Very quickly the traditional mechanical watch movements went into history.
However, the idea of simplified watches was not greeted with enthusiasm by all of the consumers. Just like Harley-Davidson in motorcycle industry or Shelby in the automotive industry, mechanical watch movements have become a symbol of good taste and class. The companies such as Rolex has tried to enter quartz industry with their Rolex Oysterquartz, but this attempt was failed and abandoned by just after a couple of years in production. Having a cheap watch movement in the luxury watch was greeted just as Honda engine in the Rolls-Royce – good idea but not respectable.
Four decades later, there are only a few places in the world where mechanical watch movements are still made. Among them Swiss made watches are the best. Companies like Omega and Breitling are using movements manufactured by ETA. and Patek Philippe are manufacturing their own mechanisms. Of course, there are movements from “Big Three” Japanese watch companies (Seiko, Orient, and Citizen), but the quality and finish of their products has changed dramatically: many plastic parts, a lot of cheap metals. And finally, there are several watch companies in the former Soviet Union (, Poljot, and etc.) which failed to adapt to the quartz revolution during the 70s and 80s and up to these days manufacturing watches with all-metal mechanical movements, practically unchanged since the 50s.
Quartz watch is also the most unreliable investment. These watches, no matter what company has manufactured them, are losing their value very fast. For instance Omega Seamaster can be found with either quartz or automatic movement, and only the ones with mechanical movement will retain their value. Of cause Japanese and are losing their value fairly quickly too, but they don’t cost much on the first place.

Humanism’s fuzzy logic
March 11th, 2010
Humanism. There are a thousand definitions from a thousand groups who claim to embrace the philosophy, yet the one thing about humanism that is perfectly clear is not what they believe in but what they don’t believe in. They reject the idea of God. What god, I am not sure. Is it the ancient animistic gods? Is it the pantheon of Mount Olympus? Is it the gods defined by the various and sundry bibles? Is it theism? If so, then every twenty something is a temporary humanist, while they reject the religious beliefs of their parents and endeavor to establish a belief system of their own. Is it deism, itself? Do they reject the idea of things more complex than themselves? Do they assume that human’s are the culmination of evolution and that the only thing that need be admired is that which they can perceive with their five senses? Ah, I wish that this lay at the heart of most modern humanists. I fear they have rejected even the evidence of their senses and now rely almost exclusively on those 6 square inches of brain matter we call the left frontal cortex.
Poor little humanists, stuck in their sterile little boxes while the rest of us are out gallivanting across the universes and making mischief around corners into other dimensions.
Humanists profess that they embrace the art of being human but I do not think they know what that word means.
Human: 1. of or consisting of the species to which men and women belong. 2. having the qualities that distinguish mankind, not divine or animal or mechanical.
Definition 1 is troublesomely vague. If we are talking about the genetic make up, the DNA, of the current pool of bipedal humans who walk about on planet Earth, of the physical bodies we animate, then to be human is to be animated meat. What exists now has suffered under the attention of this planet. The species has been on the brink of extinction at least once, perhaps more. The genome that survived is flawed and broken and subject to mutation. We have systematically culled certain DNA pools from our collective group using genocide and war. The body that we call human, now, is not the same as the thing we inhabited 10,000 years ago, nor will it be the same as that which we will be using 10,000 years in the future. Evolutionary forces insist that all things must change to survive. Using that logic, one could say that, per Definition 1, to be human is to be in a state of constant flux. I am human, therefore I inhabit the current breed of human meat. In terms of quantum physics, if one can only study the particle or the motion, but never both simultaneously, the meat is the particle. It’s the dead thing pressed between slides under the glare of the microscope of our attention.
But, humans are more than the physical body, one might argue. The amputee or the paraplegic is not any less human for having less body function. Is it our minds? But, there are functioning humans walking about with only a fraction of the healthy brain mandated by our genome. What of the mentally impaired? Can we exclude them from our human club? What then? Emotions? Laughter? Tool creation? Logic and puzzle solving? Art? We share all of these things with other members of the animal kingdom? What then, defines us as human? Our complex DNA sequence? Plants have us beat by a factor of 3.
Definition 2 defines us by what we are not. Animal, machine or supernatural. But we have blurred the boundaries between us and animals in our study of the human genome. Machines have become extensions of our conscious cognitive brain and have become so integral to our modern existence that one could argue the species would fail without them.
Is it that we are self aware? Oh, oh. Be careful. If we must define being human by defining awareness, the “I am” of each of us, then you begin to walk dangerously close to the edge of deism, because the act of perceiving the “I am” is the act of understanding your own godhood in the face of a greater and more complex awareness that inhabits the energy system of the greater whole of existence. There is godhood and then there is the greater collective Godhood. The universe is a gloriously subtle thing.
Perhaps the philosophical dissoluteness of our present times can be laid at the feet of our current conundrum, the conundrum of defining what it is to be human. We stand in front of the mirror and strip away all our false masks one by one until we get to the true face of our collective being, but, alas, if we refuse to acknowledge the supernatural, then when the final mask comes down, we of course, will see Nothing.
