The plot shows abrupt breaks in the curves where the angled line, which goes through the origin, intersects the horizontal line at the constant controlled current value. A more realistic set of characteristics is something more like those shown in figure 8.1.4.Ĭurves like those in figure 8.1.4 make more physical sense but still have some properties that actual devices can't have. Otherwise we would have a solution to the world's energy crisis. This implies that the device contains a source of energy and we know that is impossible. However, there is one thing that is evident that cannot happen in a real device and that is having I XY be something other than zero when the voltage V XY is zero. Second, the current I XY is equal to 1mA per volt applied to the Z terminal with respect to the X terminal (figure 8.1.1). For the current controlled case we also reverse the direction of the control current I Z which now flows out of terminal Z.įigure 8.1.3 Ideal Voltage (or Current) controlled current source characteristicsįrom these characteristic curves we can learn the following first the current is indeed independent of the voltage across the X and Y terminals. The same can be said for the voltage seen at terminal Z with respect to terminal Y and voltage VZY is a negative number. Because direction of the current is now reversed, we generally assume the voltage seen at Y is greater than terminal X and voltage VXY is a negative number. We can also describe complementary devices by reversing the direction of the currents such that the controlled current now flows out of terminal X and into terminal Y as shown in figure 8.1.2. This parameter of a transistor is called transconductance and gm is the common usage. The output current to control voltage relationship, expressed as amps/volt, is dimensionally a conductance and the letter g is most often used to represent conductance. Comparing this back to the current controlled device we can say that α = 1 and β is infinite. Also, since a voltage is the control signal in this case, we will assume that no current flows into (or out of) terminal Z. This voltage now needs to be referenced with respect to one of the two other terminals and we will use terminal Y for our purposes here. The voltage on terminal Z now controls the amount of current in terminals X and Y. The ratio of IX to IY which is always less than unity, is also a measure of the device gain and is most often represented by the Greek letter α (alpha).įor the voltage controlled device let's assume, as we did before, that the current flows into terminal X and out terminal Y. The ratio of IX to IZ is the gain of the device and the Greek letter β (beta) is used to represent this gain. To make the device useful it would be desirable to have the control current IZ very small relative to the much larger controlled current IX. Conservation of charge tells us that the sum of the currents flowing into a box must equal the sum of the currents flowing out. In the case of a current controlled device, let's assume that the control current IZ, flows into terminal Z and back out terminal Y. The same can be said for the voltage seen at terminal Z with respect to terminal Y and voltage VZY is a positive number. Because current flows into terminal X, we generally assume the voltage seen at X is greater than terminal Y and voltage VXY is a positive number. To describe the function of this block we first need to define the terminal currents IX, IY and IZ, and the terminal voltages VXY and VZY as shown in the figure. The third terminal, Z, is the control terminal. Let's also assume that the controlled current flows into terminal X and back out terminal Y. It has three terminals we will call them X, Y and Z for the moment. It is sometimes incorrectly attributed to a contraction of transresistance.Ī simple and general form of such a device is shown in figure 8.1.1. The first type of transistor successfully demonstrated was a current-controlled device.Īs a side note: The origin of the term transistor is a contraction of “transconductance varistor”, as Devices working on the principle of one current controlling another current are known as current-controlled devices. Devices utilizing a voltage as the controlling signal are, not surprisingly, called voltage-controlled devices. One type of active device uses a voltage to control the current while another type of active devices uses another current to be the controlling signal. All active devices control the flow of current through them. For a circuit to be called electronic, it must contain at least one active device. An active device is any type of component with the ability to electrically control the flow of current (controlling one electric signal with another electric signal).

The tech stated that we could do another scan but it wouldn’t be possible for a few weeks because of the holidays. I was then moved into an exam room to meet with the doctor. We shot blue confetti into the sky for freaking sake. We had a gender reveal party, with all of our friends and family. There are no other males in my house that could’ve skewed the test. He wasn’t even home when I took the test. I followed all the instructions to the T. The company said that they were 99.1% accurate with their tests. She must be wrong! She has to be wrong! It must’ve been the angle. After what felt like forever, she said “I can’t say with 100% confirmation…but I’m sorry to tell you, I think that your blood test was incorrect.” The entire time we were doing the anatomy scan I kept seeing her go over the area and then back. We said that we already had a blood test, we are having a baby boy, but a visual confirmation would be appreciated. The tech asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. So I’ll get to it! A few weeks ago we were doing a routine ultrasound. I am so lucky that I have been blessed with the ability to create another life. I will start by saying that I am so very grateful to be carrying a healthy baby. This is slightly controversial and I want you to hear me out… I’ve learned that there are many like me. I put my trust into a company that was supposedly reliable and only to learn that after doing some research- I’m not the first to have this happen to them. Unfortunately, I have been duped, deceived…I just feel like I’ve been lied to. I’ve emotionally had to process this whole thing for some time. One that I never thought I would be making. So it’s time for me to make an announcement. The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story. The ship eventually made it to the coast thanks to Conis and Pagaya, but Nami (along with Aisa who was picked up by the two) was chased away from the ship by Nola. The Escape Team were meant to sail the ship to their rendezvous point at the coast, though Sanji and Usopp ended up getting ambushed by Enel, who stopped by to talk to Gan Fall. The Exploration Team was assigned to find the city and steal the treasure before making it back to the ship, however they ended up getting split up after running into the giant python Nola. After realizing that the lost city of Gold was on Upper Yard, they split the crew into the Escape Team ( 脱出組, Dasshutsu Gumi ?) consisting of Sanji, Nami and Usopp, as well as their patient Gan Fall, and the Search Team ( 探索組, Tansaku Chīmu ?, Funimation: Exploration Team) which was made up of Luffy, Zoro, Chopper and Robin. They first started splitting into teams during the Skypiea Arc. When encountering enemies, the crew would often fight individually against their rivals, but they sometimes fight in small groups like Usopp and Chopper in Arabasta or during the Davy Back fight. Mostly, the group are divided by the common tasks of island exploring (often led by Luffy), ship guarding (often led by Zoro who wishes to nap or by Usopp who is afraid to disembark), and supply gathering (led by Sanji or Nami for food and finance). Hovering the symbol gives further details.ĭuring their adventures, the crew members have often split into smaller groups to achieve multiple targets or tasks.

There are the usual ice and stone obstacles to be found, along with helpful pockets of arrows and landmines which, when activated, clear paths as well. Eventually the maps will also contain certain obstacles which are themselves mini-games: pipe puzzles, block sliders, and twisting ring puzzles that need to be solved during the match-3 round before the magic can move along. Unfortunately, the way to the altar is never really a straight path, and it includes a lot of twists and turns along the way. To begin with, rather than being forced to break all the "tiles" in the game (which is usual in most match-3s), all the player has to do is break enough for the magic to flow through to the altar. While the heart of the gameplay is the match-3 boards, even these are not your usual match-3 challenges. Once that happens another mini-game pops up (one of a variety including hidden object scenes, spot the differences, swap jigsaws, and other puzzles) to completely restore the creature. When the altar is restored the game moves on to the next map until the creature has been identified. The weakened fairy will "light" the elemental magic at one end of a map, and it is up to the player to create a path for the energy by using the matches to break through the ground to allow it to flow to the elemental altar at the other end of the map. Within each elemental segment are four people or creatures that need to be found and restored, requiring four screens of match 3 madness per creature. Once the fairy has been freed she leads the player into the meat of the gameplay, the match-3 action, which is the "chain drag" type of match-3. This opening chapter plays like a mini adventure/ hidden object hybrid with lots of object pieces to find and puzzles to solve. Once they are, they can aid you in finding the people and creatures of the element, eventually getting everything back to normal.Ĥ Elements II is broken up into four main segments, each beginning with the freeing of the elemental fairy. Even worse, the fairy of each element has been trapped in the ensuing chaos and nothing can be done about restoring the natural balance until those fairies are freed. The basic premise of 4 Elements II is that the aging sorcerer who guards and protects the elemental book of magic has weakened, losing control of the elements thus causing tons of natural disasters. Once again the elements are out of whack in the Magic Kingdom and it's up to you to make things right before all life ceases to exist in 4 Elements II. Playrix Entertainment has come roaring back with a sequel to one of the most engaging match-3 games ever, 4 Elements. Fortunately, that balance was restored and everything went back to normal. Then, something dreadful happened and the elements went out of control, wreaking havoc across the land and its people. er, well, a long time ago, anyway, there was a Magic Kingdom where the basic elements, earth, air, fire, and water, were in perfect balance and the people in the kingdom lived in peace and harmony. Throughout this game's 100+ levels, you'll have to capture magic pets and collect powerful equipment that will help you become the planet's best wizard.A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. In Sorcery Craft, you learn a variety of unique magical spells, and then unleash them upon real-world players from all around the world in spectacular turn-based battles. You do this by completing no fewer than 64 different match-three puzzles, and 32 special bonus stages. Your job, then, is to free the mysterious fairies of earth, air, fire, and water, and return a bit of magic back to your colourful realm. 4 Elements II HD (Premium)Ī careless charm has completely transformed your once wonderful world into a bleak land that's overrun with darkness and despair.

The not-so-good news is that none of them, in my opinion, are as refined and intuitive as the one and only TotalFinder. As mentioned, the good news is that there is no shortage of decent alternatives to TotalFinder. So several months ago, I bit the bullet, removed TotalFinder, and began searching for a suitable replacement. Personally, I don’t mind hacking stuff, but these days there just isn’t enough time to fiddle with OS mods, especially where potential security implications are concerned. So to run TotalFinder on Mac OS X, you need to disable SIP, which obviously is not recommended by Apple. In other words: El Capitan’s SIP breaks TotalFinder. That’s good, but unfortunately it prevents TotalFinder from augmenting Finder. System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a new security feature introduced by Apple. Okay so first, technically TotalFinder will work on OS X 10.11 (aka, El Capitan), but only after disabling OS X’s built-in System Integrity Protection: Fortunately there are plenty of decent alternatives to TotalFinder, even if you’re running the latest version of Mac OS X. Unfortunately, as explained in my rant about things that suck about Mac, TotalFinder no longer is compatible with Mac 10.11+. Mac’s native Finder enables users to navigate and manage their files, similar in concept to Windows File Explorer. For years, I enjoyed the advanced Finder functionality provided by BinaryAge’s excellent app, TotalFinder.

X = layers.Reshape((4, 4, 1))(encoder_output) X = layers.Conv2D(16, 3, activation="relu")(x)Įncoder_output = layers.GlobalMaxPooling2D()(x)Įncoder = keras.Model(encoder_input, encoder_output, name="encoder") X = layers.Conv2D(16, 3, activation="relu")(encoder_input) In the example below, you use the same stack of layers to instantiate two models:Īn encoder model that turns image inputs into 16-dimensional vectors,Īnd an end-to-end autoencoder model for training. Graph of layers can be used to generate multiple models. In the functional API, models are created by specifying their inputsĪnd outputs in a graph of layers. Use the same graph of layers to define multiple models Model = _model("path_to_my_model.keras")įor details, read the model serialization & saving guide. # Recreate the exact same model purely from the file: optimizer and its state, if any (to restart training where you left off).model training config, if any (as passed to compile).model weight values (that were learned during training).You can later recreate the same modelįrom this file, even if the code that built the model is no longer available. To save the entire model as a single file. To save a functional model is to call model.save() The functional API as they do for Sequential models. Saving the model and serialization work the same way for models built using History = model.fit(x_train, y_train, batch_size=64, epochs=2, validation_split=0.2) Then evaluate the model on the test data: (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = _data() Here, load the MNIST image data, reshape it into vectors,įit the model on the data (while monitoring performance on a validation split), To implement training routines beyond supervised learning That you can easily customize these loops The Model class offers a built-in training loop (the fit() method)Īnd a built-in evaluation loop (the evaluate() method). Training, evaluation, and inference work exactly in the same way for modelsīuilt using the functional API as for Sequential models. The connection arrows are replaced by the call operation.Ī "graph of layers" is an intuitive mental image for a deep learning model,Īnd the functional API is a way to create models that closely mirrors this. This figure and the code are almost identical. In the plotted graph: _model(model, "my_first_model_with_shape_info.png", show_shapes=True) You can also plot the model as a graph: _model(model, "my_first_model.png")Īnd, optionally, display the input and output shapes of each layer Let's check out what the model summary looks like: model.summary() In the graph of layers: model = keras.Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=outputs, name="mnist_model") Let's add a few more layers to the graph of layers: x = layers.Dense(64, activation="relu")(x)Īt this point, you can create a Model by specifying its inputs and outputs You're "passing" the inputs to the dense layer, and you get x as the output. The "layer call" action is like drawing an arrow from "inputs" to this layer Object: dense = layers.Dense(64, activation="relu") You create a new node in the graph of layers by calling a layer on this inputs Of the input data that you feed to your model. The inputs that is returned contains information about the shape and dtype You would use: # Just for demonstration purposes. If, for example, you have an image input with a shape of (32, 32, 3), The batch size is always omitted since only the shape of each sample is specified. The shape of the data is set as a 784-dimensional vector. To build this model using the functional API, start by creating an input node: inputs = keras.Input(shape=(784,)) (output: logits of a probability distribution over 10 classes) On Me-TV promos of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show, Ed Asner and Bob Newhart uttered the word "Meow!" on the MTM logo at the end of the promos from their respective shows.The logo (with just the cat meowing) made an appearance within the Family Guy S7 episode "420".Mimsie was a rescue cat from an animal shelter. The cat's name was "Mimsie", though nicknames such as "Dick Turpin" and "Dick Marino" have also been used in naming the cat.All the text (except for the later versions) appears in the Peignot font used for the Viacom "Pinball" logo. Inside is a live-action orange striped kitten who meows once, obviously as a parody of the MGM lion. Sometimes, the finished logo will read out " AN M T M ENTERPRISES (INC.) PRODUCTION" (" AN" appears over the first " M"). Under the letters are the words " ENTERPRISES, INC.", " ENTERPRISES", " PRODUCTIONS, INC.", or " PRODUCTIONS". This completes the initials of the company, and the letter " T" shrinks when a gold circle appears over it. In the space left between the two letters, two " T"'s come from the top and bottom of the screen and join to form one. Logo: On a black background, an " M" flies backward from off screen, then splits into two. Today, most of its library assets (with some exceptions) are owned by The Walt Disney Company after acquiring 20th Century Fox in 2019. MTM ceased operations the following year, and its library assets were folded into 20th Century Fox Television (now " 20th Television"). In 1992 after TVS lost its ITV franchise to Meridian Broadcasting, it was then sold to International Family Entertainment, Inc., owners of The Family Channel, which in turn was sold and merged into Fox Family Worldwide (now "ABC Family Worldwide") in 1997. MTM was sold to TVS Entertainment (the then-parent company of now-defunct ITV franchise holder TVS Television) in July 1988. MTM titles had previously been distributed by Viacom Enterprises (now " CBS Media Ventures"), and then Victory Television. In 1986, MTM launched "MTM Television Distribution". The company was formed as a result of an agreement with Moore and the CBS network to produce 22 episodes of a new sitcom, which would become The Mary Tyler Moore Show. (also known as "MTM Productions, Inc.") was an independent production company established in 1969 by actress Mary Tyler Moore (hence the initials of the company) and her then-husband Grant Tinker.

In recognition of the likelihood that the unendorsed policy covers such use, at least one company has addressed this issue by introducing a mandatory “Food Delivery Exclusion” endorsement that can be removed, on a case-by-case basis, for a premium surcharge.

Couch, Tennessee Court of Appeals, 1982).Īt least two other state courts (and Supreme Courts at that) have also found coverage under the PAP for pizza delivery: (1) USF&G v. For example, a continuing controversy is whether or not the exclusion applies to “pizza delivery.” One court, in interpreting the more restrictive “transporting persons or property for a fee” exclusion, ruled that the exclusion did not apply to an employee using his own auto in the course of employment, largely because the delivery charge did not directly benefit the insured (United Services Automobile Association v. This exclusion presents “gray” areas as to coverage for certain activities such as newspaper deliveries, rural mail carriers (for subrogation claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act), home products sales reps (e.g., Avon, Amway, etc.), and so forth. ¶ 7 Elsewhere, the policy enumerated various conditions, two of which are significant to this appeal. Similarly, part IV specified: This policy does not apply under Part IV: (a) to any automobile while used as a public or livery conveyance. The expressed intent of the policy drafters (via 1989 ISO insurance department filing memorandum) is that this exclusion is designed to preclude coverage for vehicles indisciminantly available for hire to the general public for the transportation of people or cargo (e.g., taxis, sight-seeing vans, package delivery services, etc.). sustained while occupying (1) an owned automobile while used as a public or livery conveyance. According to the 1998 ISO Personal Auto Policy, there is no coverage for an insured’s ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a “public or livery conveyance,” except that the exclusion does not apply to a share-the-expense car pool. |
