FIELD OF THE INVENTION
     This invention is in the field of seat base support assemblies. It relates to seat base support assemblies for furniture or the like wherein the support assemblies employed are of the non-coil spring type; i.e., they comprise sinuous spring bands, wire grids or chord-rubber webbing, or are made up of flexible steel bands. The invention finds particularly advantageous application to sinuous band seat spring assemblies, however, and is discussed initially in that context.
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
     Over the past ten to twelve years furniture seat spring torsioning devices such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,210,064, No. 3,388,904, and No. 3,525,514, met the industry's long sought need for deep-drop uplift at the back rail and also contributed in other ways to the luxury seat which evolved during that time frame. As eleven (11) gauge helical spring connectors became disproportionally more expensive during this period these devices have been used almost exclusively with SWING ANCHOR connecting links and radius links such as disclosed in U.S Pat. No. 3,790,149, and depended upon kinetic energy stored in the arced sinuous spring itself to produce all upward resilience. The upholstered furniture styles most widely sold at the time developed all the back rail uplift considered desirable using such connecting links.
     During the past three to four years, however, there has been a move toward the use of thicker and thicker cushions. Attractive new and thicker cushion materials, including foam rubber laminates, have necessitated the lowering of seat frame heights dramatically. As a result, an urgent need was created in such constructions for more upward resilience of a strong dynamic nature in the spring base.
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
     An object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved rail connector for sinuous spring bands, wire grids, chord-rubber webbing, and flexible steel bands.
     Another object is to provide a rail connector which embodies the salutary features of conventional helical spring connectors while retaining essentially none of the undesirable features thereof.
     Still another object is to provide a rail connector which produces spring torsioning and dynamic uplift at the back rail through kinetic energy which it itself stores, and which then cooperates with any spring action in the seat base support assembly, which might be sinuous, arced, or de-arced, a wire grid, chord-rubber webbing, or flexible steel bands.
     Yet another object is to provide such rail connectors which give varying degrees of dynamic uplift resilience obtained by offering alternative spring action modes within themselves.
     The foregoing and other objects are realized in accord with the present invention by producing two related forms of rail connector. A first form uses pre-stressed, close wound coil spring with attachment arms. In one alternative the coil spring is wound on an axis transverse to the axis of spring expansion and contraction while in another alternative the coil spring is wound on an axis longitudinally arranged relative thereto. In either alternative the connector may selectively have a leverage-amplified torsioning capability.
     A second form uses a pre-stressed, cantilever spring configuration. This connector may selectively be used with a sinuous spring band having leverage-amplified torsioning incorporated therein.
     The invention for the first time provides seat spring-enhancing connectors that in themselves combine the four essential seat-force-generators; i.e., (1) torsioning; (2) dynamic uplift; (3) expansion-contraction; and (4) leverage-amplification. These, in turn, produce to the greatest degree the four most desired seat-performance characteristics; i.e., (1) initial-drop; (2) deep-drop; (3) softness without "oil canning", "bucketing", "jack-knifing", or "bottoming"; and (4) resilient uplift proportionate to load.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
     Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a portion of the back end of a furniture seat base is illustrated generally at 10. The seat base 10 comprises spring band assemblies 15, only one of which is shown, extending in parallel relationship between the front rail (not shown) and back rail 16 of the base frame. Each assembly 15 includes a normally arced sinuous spring band 20 of standard loop size; i.e., a seven-eighths (2/3) inch interval between linear segments 25 and semi-circular segments 26 of the band. Each band 20 is connected to the back frame rail 16 by a first form of rail connector 30 embodying features of the invention.
     The rail connector 30 is fabricated of eleven (11) gauge wire, similar to standard helicals. It comprises a section 35 of three coils tightly wound on an axis transverse to that of the band 20 and the axis of expansion and contraction of the connector 30.
     Extending from the coil section 35, at their uppermost extremity, tangent to the arc of the coils and in opposite directions, are a rail-attachment leg 38 and a spring-attachment leg 39. The rail-attachment leg 38 terminates in a transversely disposed anchor section 40 which seats in a conventional "G" clip 41, while the spring-attachment leg 39 seats on and grips the spring band 20.
     The spring attachment leg 39 is inclined slightly upwardly from the horizontal, in contrast to the rail-attachment leg 38, and includes an upwardly formed shoulder 45 and a terminal hook 46. The shoulder is formed approximately mid-way between the hook 46 and tangency with the coil 35, seven-eighths (2/3) inches each way in the case where the band 20 is regular sinuous.
     As seen best in FIG. 1, the downwardly opening hook 46 is designed to seat over the penultimate linear segment 25b in the spring band 20, while the ultimate linear segment 25a seats against the shoulder 45. The result is to lock the end of the band 20 and the connector 30 together.
     In operation, the attachment-arm 39 reaching up into the band 20 sets up a torsioning effect in the back of the band. The arm 39 is spring loaded upwardly by the strength of the coil section 35 and produces dynamic uplift. At the same time the coil section 35 permits of longitudinal expansion-contraction of the connector 30. The coil section 35 and rail-attachment leg 38 extending outwardly of the band 20 end amplify the leverage induced torque.
     In an alternative construction of the first form of the invention, as seen in FIG. 3, the rail connector 130 is attached to the rail 116 through a gang bore 142. The rail-attachment leg 138 of the connector has a shorter anchor section 140 which can pass through the bore 142 from front to back of the rail 116 and then seats against the back of the rail to lock the connector 130 to the rail.
     The spring-attachment leg 139 in this form of the connector is much shorter and has an upwardly formed hook 146 at its inner end. The hook 146 is so formed that when it seats upwardly, onto the ultimate linear segment 125a of the spring band 120, it cannot slip off during seat base operation.
     The connector 130 provides both dynamic uplift and resilient expansion-contraction at the band end. It does not induce torsion or leverage amplification.
     The connector 130 can also be connected to the ultimate linear segment 125a of the band 120 by a conventional VLE clip, as seen at 150 in FIG. 4. As such, the single spring attachment leg 139 obtains a wider purchase area on the band 120 end. The effect is to enhance lateral stability of the spring band assembly.
     Turning now to FIG. 5, a modified coil section for a connector otherwise identical to that hereinbefore discussed is illustrated at 235. As illustrated, the coil section 235 is tightly wound in five (5) coils on an axis longitudinally aligned with the sinuous spring band span (not shown). This form of the connector 130 produces the same salutary effects, the dynamic uplift being produced by a torquing expansion-contraction of the coil section 235 in contrast to the loop compression-expansion of the coil section 35, however.
     FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a portion of a furniture seat base 310 comprising spring band assemblies 315 (only one shown) in which a second form of spring band 320 connector is illustrated at 330. The connector 330 uses a cantilever principle to provide dynamic uplift to the band 320 at the back rail 316.
     The rail connector 330 is fabricated of spring steel wire of relatively heavy gauge; i.e., eight (8) gauge or heavier. As best illustrated in FIG. 7, it includes a pair of identical connector arms 331 extending parallel to each other between the rail 316 and the band 320.
     As seen once again in FIG. 6, each connector arm 331 includes a generally V-shaped body 335 made up of a rail-attachment leg 338 and a spring-attachment leg 339. The legs 338 are vertically oriented and preferably four (4) inches long. The legs 338 are joined at their upper ends by a base leg 340 which seats in a conventional EKS clip 341 stapled to the top of the rail 316.
     Curving upwardly and inwardly from the lower end of each rail-attachment leg 338 is a corresponding spring-attachment leg 339. The spring-attachment legs 339 are approximately eight (8) inches long.
     Formed on the free ends of the legs 339 are attachment hooks 346 identical to the hooks 146 hereinbefore discussed. The connector 330 is a variation of the second form of the invention wherein the hooks 346 receive and seat on the ultimate linear segment 325a of the spring band 320.
     In operation the legs 338 are braced against the rail 316 with the spring-attachment legs 339 extending inwardly and upwardly therefrom to the hooks 346. In unloaded position the hooks are disposed approximately one (1) inch above the level of the EKS clip 341. The connector 330 thus is effective to dynamically urge the spring band 320 end upwardly when a subject is seated. At the same time longitudinal resilient expansion-contraction can and does take place in the connector 330, enhancing seat base softness.
     FIG. 8 illustrates a sinuous spring band assembly 415 which incorporates a connector 430 identical to the connector 330 hereinbefore discussed.
     In the spring band assembly 415 the connector hooks 446 are seated on a linear segment 425f of the band 420 which is sixth from the end of the band; i.e., the ultimate linear segment 425a. The linear segment 425a is connected to the rail by a SWING ANCHOR connector clip 460 such as illustrated in FIG. 1 of the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,149. The base of the clip 460 is seated, together with the base leg 440 of the connector 430, in the conventional EKS clip stapled to the top of the rail 416.
     The spring band 420 immediately inwardly of its ultimate linear segment 425a, at the penultimate linear segment, is bent upwardly for the length of one semi-circular band segment 426a and then bent back into the normal arc of the band. This creates a torsion inducing moment arm configuration in the end of the band as illustrated at FIG. 12 in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,525,514.
     In operation of this spring band assembly 415 the connector 430 performs the same functions as previously ascribed to the connector 330. Further, however, its dynamic uplift is effected inwardly of the band end. This uplift, coupled with the torsion inducing band 420 configuration and the articulate connection provided by the clip 460 produces a highly sophisticated and luxurious seat base.
     FIG. 9 illustrates a sinuous spring band assembly 515 which also incorporates a connector 530 identical to the connector 330 hereinbefore discussed. In the assembly 515 the sinuous band 520 is a de-arced band, however; i.e., it has very little inherent upward resilience. In this assembly the connector 530 pre-loads the band 520 upwardly at the fourth linear segment 525d from the ultimate linear segment 525a.
     The ultimate linear segment 525a is seated in the EKS clip 540 on the rail 516, together with the base leg 540 of the connector 530. The connector leg 539 thus preloads the band 520 upwardly with the seat base 10 in its relaxed state as a subject is seated and rises, the connector provides a dynamic uplift which would otherwise not be present.
     All of the connectors hereinbefore discussed are also used to connect other forms of seat base support means to the frame rails. As will readily be understood, wire grids such as manufactured under the trademark PERMA-MESH by Flexolators, Inc., chord-rubber webbing such as manufactured by the Pirelli, s.p.a., of Italy, and flat steel bands, for example, do not have stored upward resilience in the sense that arced sinuous spring bands do. When connected to the back frame rail by connectors embodying the inventions disclosed herein, however, they are provided with a dynamic uplift adjacent the back rail. In this sense they are similar to a de-arced sinuous spring band.
     While several embodiments described herein are at present considered to be preferred, it is understood that various modifications and improvements may be made therein, and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such modification and improvements as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Abstract: A rail connector and improvement in seat base support assembly. The connector takes two basic forms. In the first a pre-stressed, close wound coil, disposed either transversely or longitudinally of the connector, is effective to continuously bias the seat base support means upwardly. In the second a cantilevered, curved spring arm serves the same purpose. The connector may be configured to reach into the body of a sinuous spring band, for example, and define a torque arm in the band, at the back rail. All forms are applicable to wire mesh, chord rubber webbing, flat steel bands and sinuous, both arced and dearced.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
     The field of the invention pertains to electric devices to open and close draperies or curtains, and in particular, to devices that automatically control the position of the draperies or curtains in response to light or heat.
     A light actuated electric drapery drive is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,471,275 wherein the circuit provides overload protection in addition to providing opening and closing of the draperies by manual switches or the light sensor. The light sensor actuates the circuit to operate the drive motor upon sufficient lighting level.
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,023 discloses combined heat and light sensors for mounting atop a building. The combined heat and light sensors are mounted for electro-mechanically driven movement to follow the sun during the day. In response to the heat and light striking the sensors with changing levels and direction throughout the day, the sensors control the opening and closing of draperies or Venetian blinds progressively about the building as the sun progresses about the building.
     Of more general interest is U.S. Pat. No. 3,529,214 which discloses light responsive systems to automatically control street lamps. The systems include means in the circuit to ignore sudden flashes of light so that the street lamps will not be extinguished in response to a sudden and momentary flash of light.
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
     In response to the need for a simple and very compact electric drive for draperies or curtains that is automatically actuated in response to changed light level, applicant has invented the very compact and unobtrusive curtain puller disclosed below. The curtain puller is meant to replace the conventional spring loaded tensioner which typically includes a freely rotatable pulley for engagement with the loop of drapery cord and means to attach to the floor or wall.
     The new light actuated curtain puller externally appears much like the above tensioner with a pulley adjacent the top and spring tensioned means extending from the bottom for attachment to a floor or wall adjacent the draperies or curtains. Atop the new puller is a light sensing means with a cap to control the direction from which light may enter the light sensing means. As with the tensioner the new puller is preferably positioned behind or adjacent the edge of the drapery or curtain near the side of the window. In this location the cap can shield the light sensing means from the interior lighting and permit light to enter from the window and behind the drapery or curtain.
     Inside the new puller is a miniature high torque electric motor having the drive shaft attached to the external pulley. In the preferred embodiment the motor is a reversible alternating current motor optically isolated from a direct current control circuit. The direct current control includes means triggered by the light sensing means to cause a first timing circuit to begin a timing cycle. If the first timing cycle is completed a second timing cycle begins with the start of a motor operate signal.
     A flip flop circuit retains the current state of the motor and draperies and permits operation of the motor only for a change of the draperies.
     Alternatively, optional configurations can use a direct current reversible electric motor and motor drive or a digital decoder can be substituted for the light sensing means to receive and decode control signals passed through the building wiring.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
     Illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is the exterior box or container 10 for the curtain puller. The box 10 may be constructed of metal or plastic halves that merely snap together or are fastened together with mechanical fasteners. Adjacent to the top of the box is a separate cover piece 12 open at the top and affixed to the front of the box 10. Within the cover 12 is a drive pulley 14 mounted on a motor drive shaft extending from a small electric motor 16 within the box 10. The pulley 14 engages the drapery or curtain cord 18 in turn extending downwardly about the pulley 14 and upwardly to the curtain rod (not shown). Thus, the electric motor 16 drives the curtain cord 18 to open or close the curtains or drapes. In other words, the motor 16 moves the object or curtains from an open first position to a closed second position or vice versa.
     Below the box is a bracket 20 that may be attached to the wall of a house adjacent a window with mechanical fasteners through the holes 22 in the bracket. Within the bracket 20 is a transverse rod 24 to which a pair of springs 26 are attached at their lower end. The upper ends of the springs 26 are attached to a second transverse rod 28 in turn affixed to the inside of the back of the box 10. The springs 26 provide suitable tensioning for the curtain cord 18.
     Atop the box 10 is a small shield 30 which may be manually rotated about a vertical axis. The shield 30 has an opening 32 to permit light to enter therein. Inside the shield is a photocell connected to the internal circuitry of the curtain puller. A 110 volt AC power supply cord as indicated at 34 extends into the box 10 and is attached to a rectifier and motor power circuit indicated at 36. Also inside the box 10 is a printed circuit board 38 to which are attached the electric elements comprising the control circuit for the curtain puller. As shown the box 10 encloses the entire electric control and power supply for the curtain puller. The box 10 is not substantially larger than a conventional spring tensioner for a curtain cord loop.
     FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C illustrate the control and power circuitry for the curtain puller. With the exception of the 110 volt AC power supply cord 34 and plug for the electrical power to the curtain puller, the control and power circuitry is entirely contained within the box 10. Referring in particular to FIG. 4C, a fuse F1 and transformer T1 in the 110 volt AC supply provide power to a regulator circuit comprising a diode bridge 40 and an integrated circuit regulator REG-1. The regulator circuit provides 12 volts DC power to the control circuit illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B and to the isolator circuit including opto-isolators IC1 and IC2 shown in FIG. 4C. The transformer T1 also provides AC power at reduced voltage to the pulley drive motor 16 through the triacs Q1 and Q2. Triacs Q1 and Q2 are in turn triggered by signals respectively from opto-isolators IC1 and IC2. In other words, the transformer and regulator circuit act as a power supply means for supplying power from the 110 AC power source to the control circuit and motor. A suitable motor 16 is a reversible  24 volt 60 cycle AC motor. A reversible DC motor might be substituted for motor 16 with suitable changes in the power supply to provide DC current and solid state switching means in substitution for triacs Q1 and Q2.
     The opto-isolators or optical couplers IC1 and IC2 provide electrical isolation between the AC power for the motor 16 and the low voltage substantially DC control signals in the control circuit shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. The signal through the opto-isolators IC1 and IC2 is provided by a 12 volt DC signal in turn controlled by a pair of transistors Q3 and Q4. The pair of optically isolated connection circuits is between transistor Q4 and triac Q1 and between transistor Q3 and triac Q2. Thus, the control of rotational direction of the motor 16 is determined by a signal from opto-isolator IC1 to triac Q1, or for the other direction, by the signal from opto-isolator IC2 to triac Q2.
     The control circuit identified by the reference 38 to a printed circuit board within the box 10 comprises in FIGS. 4A and 4B a photo-electric cell Q5 which is contained within the hooded cover 30 at the top of the box 10. In response to a sufficient increase or decrease in light the photo cell Q5 provides an input to an integrated circuit IC3 which in turn provides an output at pin 7 of a sudden up or down voltage change as indicated by arrows 42 and 44. In other words, the photoelectric cell Q5 is a light sensing means for detecting changes in levels of light, i.e., presence or absence of light in the daytime and nighttime, respectively. The sudden change in voltage up 42 or down 44 is provided as an input to pin 4 of integrated circuit IC4 which in turn massages the signal to provide through integrated circuit IC7 a reset and start signal illustrated by the "one shot" 46 at pin 4 of integrated circuit IC7. The reset and start "one shot" 46 in turn is provided to pin 6 of a dual timer integrated circuit IC5.
     A suitable integrated circuit IC4 is a Motorola Monostable Multivibrator MC14538B or equivalent. Integrated circuit IC5 is a National Semiconductor Dual Timer LM556 or equivalent.
     The reset and start "one shot" 46 is also provided through integrated circuit IC8 from pin 3 to the base of transistor Q6, which with the associated circuitry and dual timer IC5 provides a ramp function timing signal that increases in voltage continuously from the moment that the "one shot" reset and start signal is received. Typically, this ramp function, as indicated schematically by arrow 48 on the XY plot adjacent transistor Q6, constantly increases the charge on capacitor C6 until a prespecified voltage is reached. Each time the signal from the photocell Q5 passes a threshold of increasing light or decreasing light an up or down voltage change is generated by integrated circuit IC3 and sensed at the base of transistor Q6 to reset the ramp function output 48 by discharging capacitor C6. Typically the ramp function circuit elements connected between transistor Q6 and pins 1, 2 and 3 of integrated circuit IC5 are specified to provide about a 15 minute time period from start or reset until a specified voltage is reached. Thus, short term changes in light level sensed by the photo electric cell Q5 do not result in actuation of the control circuit beyond resetting the ramp function output 48.
     Once the specified ramp function voltage is reached, the second timer of integrated circuit IC5 is actuated by the output 1 at pin 5 to T2 pin 8. The second timer includes the circuit elements connected to pins 7, 11, 12 and 13 of integrated circuit IC5. The potentiometer P1 provides adjustable means for setting the length of time the motor 16 operates by setting the specified ramp function maximum voltage for the second timer.
     With actuation of the second timer an output 2 signal at pin 9 is provided to pin 3 of integrated circuit IC6 which acts as a flip-flop or latch to determine the current state or position of the motor 16 and thereby determine the current position of the curtain. A suitable integrated circuit IC6 is Motorola Dual Flip-Flop MC14013B or equivalent. The flip-flop integrated circuit IC6 thereby permits or does not permit the motor to operate depending upon the direction of operation of the motor the previous time the motor was actuated to move the curtain. In other words, the flip-flop or latch acts as a latching means for determining the current position of the motor in either of the first and second positions and for actuating the motor to move the object or curtain to the position opposite the current position of the object or curtain. The status of the integrated circuit IC6 can be easily determined by the light emitting diode D8 which is connected to pin 9 of integrated circuit IC6 and illuminated when the curtain is in the closed position. A by-pass or a manual switch S2 is also provided so that the curtain can be conveniently opened or closed as desired during the night or during the day. The manual closure or opening of the curtain is sensed through the connection to pins 2 and 5 of integrated circuit IC6. The output from integrated circuit IC6 pins 1 and 2 respectively provide one-half of the control to the base of transistor Q4 or the base of transistor Q3 thereby determining the direction of rotation. The other half of the control is provided by the output at pin 9 of the dual timer IC5.
     Once actuated by the output at pin 9 of integrated circuit IC5 the motor operates for a period of time necessary to move the curtain as set by the exterior circuitry and potentiometer P1 of the second timer of dual timer IC5. The second timer circuit is also actuated by engaging the manual switch S2 to also start the motor running with the second timer. In either case the motor runs for a set period of time sufficient to open or close the curtain. In summary, the flip-flop circuitry only permits the motor to operate when either the signal from integrated circuit IC3 or from the manual switch S2, if thrown, provides for movement of the curtain opposite to that of the previous movement of the curtain.

Abstract: An automatic electro-mechanical device for opening and closing a curtain or drapery in response to changed light striking a photoelectric cell on the device. The device comprises a miniature high torque reversible electric motor and control packaged in a container of substantially the same size as a conventional cord tensioner of curtains or draperies. To close the drapes at sun-down and open the drapes at sun-up automatically without actuation if the lighting changes for short periods of time, the device comprises a dual timer circuit with individual ramping circuits. One timer circuit monitors the sustained presence or absence of light for a predetermined amount of time. The other timer regulates the motor drive run time. A flip flop circuit signals the current state of the curtains or drapes by providing memory of the last directional movement of the motor.


RELATED APPLICATIONS
     Co-pending application Ser. No. 060,408, filed July 25, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,271,839 for Dilatation Catheter Method and Apparatus shows a dilatation catheter in which dilatation is accomplished by everting a balloon from the end of a catheter, blowing the balloon up to dilate an occluded blood vessel, deflating the balloon, and re-inverting the balloon within the catheter.
     Co-pending application Ser. No. 114,979 filed Jan. 24, 1980 for Flexible Calibrator shows a catheter having a calibrator bead at the distal end thereof which is used to measure the diameter of the lumen in a stenotic segment of blood vessel. The present invention comprises a calibrator bead in trailing relation to a dilatation balloon. The combination of these two elements enables the calibrator element to measure the lumen of the dilated artery rather than, as in the co-pending application, being used to measure the lumen of an occluded passage in a pre-dilated artery.
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
     The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in dilating occluded blood vessels and for measuring the degree of dilation of the occlusions within these vessels. Prior to the present invention these two objectives were attainable, as a result of the teachings set forth in the above-identified copending patent applications, by the use of two catheters, one having a balloon element to dilate the occlusion and the other having a calibrator element to measure the widened lumen of the occluded segment of artery. This could result in the repeated insertion and removal of catheters into and out of arteries until the sizes of the enlarged passages of the occluded segments of the arteries were of acceptable dimensions. The heavier the traffic of catheters within blood vessels the greater is the risk that material may be accidentally dislodged therefrom with possible consequent blockage elsewhere in the blood circulation system.
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
     The present invention combines in a single catheter a dilatation balloon element and a calibrator bead element. Following dilatation of an occlusion the calibrator bead may be moved into the dilated lumen of the occlusion in order to determine whether the occlusion has been sufficiently dilated. The two objects are thereby achieved without the need of indulging in the time-consuming and hazardous activities of repeatedly removing and replacing catheters.
     The principal object of the invention is to combine in a single catheter instrument dilatation balloon means which can be inflated and deflated and calibrator bead means to measure the lumen of the dilated occlusion in the artery.
     This and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings forming part of this specification.

     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
     FIG. 1 is a semi-schematic view of the present catheter positioned adjacent an occlusion.
     FIG. 2 is a similar view showing the occlusion being dilated.
     FIG. 3 is a similar view showing the balloon element reinverted.
     FIG. 4 is a similar view showing the catheter during the course of movement through the same artery to the next occlusion to be treated.
     FIG. 5 is a view showing in elevation and longitudinal cross-section the details and construction of the present catheter with the balloon element everted.
     FIG. 6 is a view like that of FIG. 5 showing the balloon element in inverted condition.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
     The catheter comprises a calibrator oval 10, a flexible shaft 12, a manifold 14 which serves for the connection of a syringe 16 to the instrument, a balloon 18 which is longitudinally extensible from the oval 10 under the fluid pressure applied by syringe 16 and thereafter laterally expansible under increased fluid pressure, and a guide wire 20 to be pulled to re-invert the balloon 18 within the oval 10.
     A blood vessel 22 partially occluded by occlusion 24 is provided with an incision 26 for the introduction into the vessel of the catheter. The catheter is moved along the vessel until the oval 10 bears against the end of occlusion 24, as shown in FIG. 1. The syringe 16 is then attached to manifold 14 and actuated to evert the balloon 18 and extend it into the restricted lumen of occlusion 24. The fluid pressure is then increased to radially expand the balloon and compress the occlusion. The fluid pressure is then reduced by reverse operation of the syringe and the syringe is removed from manifold 14. Wire 20 is then manually pulled to re-invert the balloon within the oval. The oval is then moved within the compressed occlusion 24. Ready movability of the oval through the occlusion indicates that the occlusion has been adequately compressed. If the oval is not readily movable through the occlusion the instrument is used to further compress the occlusion. Once the occlusion has been suitably compressed the instrument may be moved further along the vessel 22, as indicated in FIG. 4, if there is a further occlusion to be treated.
     The details of construction of the instrument are shown in FIGS. 5-6. The oval 10 and shaft 12 are formed by a tightly wound helical spring 28 which provides the catheter with sufficient flexibility to enable its movement through tortuous arteries. The oval and shaft are provided with an overcoating 30 of silicone, heat-shrink tubing, Teflon, or the like.
     The balloon element 18 is made of an elastomeric material such as latex. One end of the balloon is attached to the end of the oval 10 and the other end of the balloon is attached with suture 32 to guide wire 20. The wire 20 is small in diameter relative to the internal diameter of spring 28 to provide an annular fluid passage between the syringe 16 and balloon 18.
     Expansion of the balloon element out of the end of the catheter takes place in anisotropic fashion, with the balloon element first everting out of the catheter in advance of substantial lateral expansion, and then, after eversion, laterally expanding in response to the continued exertion of fluid pressure internally of the catheter. Optimal dimensional data for the catheter and the balloon element are set forth in my co-pending application Ser. No. 060,408.
     While the invert-evert form of balloon is preferred, other types and forms of balloons may be used as long as they do not impede the movability of the catheters through the arteries and as long as they do not interfere with the use of the calibrator ovals to measure or calibrate the inside diameters of the arterial lumens.

Abstract: A catheter is provided with an inflatable-deflatable balloon element to radially enlarge a partially occluded artery lumen and the catheter is provided with a calibrator oval to internally gauge the enlarged lumen.


Interpretation of 3D CNNs for Brain MRI Data Classification

Abstract: Deep learning shows high potential for many medical image analysis tasks. Neural networks can work with full-size data without extensive preprocessing and feature generation and, thus, information loss. Recent work has shown that the morphological difference in specific brain regions can be found on MRI with the means of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN). However, interpretation of the existing models is based on a region of interest and can not be extended to voxel-wise image interpretation on a whole image. In the current work, we consider the classification task on a large-scale open-source dataset of young healthy subjects -- an exploration of brain differences between men and women. In this paper, we extend the previous findings in gender differences from diffusion-tensor imaging on T1 brain MRI scans. We provide the voxel-wise 3D CNN interpretation comparing the results of three interpretation methods: Meaningful Perturbations, Grad CAM and Guided Backpropagation, and contribute with the open-source library.


Scientific Calculator for Designing Trojan Detectors in Neural Networks

Abstract: This work presents a web-based interactive neural network (NN) calculator and a NN inefficiency measurement that has been investigated for the purpose of detecting trojans embedded in NN models. This NN Calculator is designed on top of TensorFlow Playground with in-memory storage of data and NN graphs plus coefficients. It is "like a scientific calculator" with analytical, visualization, and output operations performed on training datasets and NN architectures. The prototype is aaccessible at https://pages.nist.gov/nn-calculator. The analytical capabilities include a novel measurement of NN inefficiency using modified Kullback-Liebler (KL) divergence applied to histograms of NN model states, as well as a quantification of the sensitivity to variables related to data and NNs. Both NN Calculator and KL divergence are used to devise a trojan detector approach for a variety of trojan embeddings. Experimental results document desirable properties of the KL divergence measurement with respect to NN architectures and dataset perturbations, as well as inferences about embedded trojans.


Proposal Flow

Abstract: Finding image correspondences remains a challenging problem in the presence of intra-class variations and large changes in scene layout.~Semantic flow methods are designed to handle images depicting different instances of the same object or scene category. We introduce a novel approach to semantic flow, dubbed proposal flow, that establishes reliable correspondences using object proposals. Unlike prevailing semantic flow approaches that operate on pixels or regularly sampled local regions, proposal flow benefits from the characteristics of modern object proposals, that exhibit high repeatability at multiple scales, and can take advantage of both local and geometric consistency constraints among proposals. We also show that proposal flow can effectively be transformed into a conventional dense flow field. We introduce a new dataset that can be used to evaluate both general semantic flow techniques and region-based approaches such as proposal flow. We use this benchmark to compare different matching algorithms, object proposals, and region features within proposal flow, to the state of the art in semantic flow. This comparison, along with experiments on standard datasets, demonstrates that proposal flow significantly outperforms existing semantic flow methods in various settings.


Cloud-based or On-device: An Empirical Study of Mobile Deep Inference

Abstract: Modern mobile applications are benefiting significantly from the advancement in deep learning, e.g., implementing real-time image recognition and conversational system. Given a trained deep learning model, applications usually need to perform a series of matrix operations based on the input data, in order to infer possible output values. Because of computational complexity and size constraints, these trained models are often hosted in the cloud. To utilize these cloud-based models, mobile apps will have to send input data over the network. While cloud-based deep learning can provide reasonable response time for mobile apps, it restricts the use case scenarios, e.g. mobile apps need to have network access. With mobile specific deep learning optimizations, it is now possible to employ on-device inference. However, because mobile hardware, such as GPU and memory size, can be very limited when compared to its desktop counterpart, it is important to understand the feasibility of this new on-device deep learning inference architecture. In this paper, we empirically evaluate the inference performance of three Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using a benchmark Android application we developed. Our measurement and analysis suggest that on-device inference can cost up to two orders of magnitude greater response time and energy when compared to cloud-based inference, and that loading model and computing probability are two performance bottlenecks for on-device deep inferences.


Retrofitting Structure-aware Transformer Language Model for End Tasks

Abstract: We consider retrofitting structure-aware Transformer-based language model for facilitating end tasks by proposing to exploit syntactic distance to encode both the phrasal constituency and dependency connection into the language model. A middle-layer structural learning strategy is leveraged for structure integration, accomplished with main semantic task training under multi-task learning scheme. Experimental results show that the retrofitted structure-aware Transformer language model achieves improved perplexity, meanwhile inducing accurate syntactic phrases. By performing structure-aware fine-tuning, our model achieves significant improvements for both semantic- and syntactic-dependent tasks.


Geometric Structure Aided Visual Inertial Localization

Abstract: Visual Localization is an essential component in autonomous navigation. Existing approaches are either based on the visual structure from SLAM/SfM or the geometric structure from dense mapping. To take the advantages of both, in this work, we present a complete visual inertial localization system based on a hybrid map representation to reduce the computational cost and increase the positioning accuracy. Specially, we propose two modules for data association and batch optimization, respectively. To this end, we develop an efficient data association module to associate map components with local features, which takes only $2$ms to generate temporal landmarks. For batch optimization, instead of using visual factors, we develop a module to estimate a pose prior from the instant localization results to constrain poses. The experimental results on the EuRoC MAV dataset demonstrate a competitive performance compared to the state of the arts. Specially, our system achieves an average position error in 1.7 cm with 100% recall. The timings show that the proposed modules reduce the computational cost by 20-30%. We will make our implementation open source at http://github.com/hyhuang1995/gmmloc.


Preferred History Semantics for Iterated Updates

Abstract: We give a semantics to iterated update by a preference relation on possible developments. An iterated update is a sequence of formulas, giving (incomplete) information about successive states of the world. A development is a sequence of models, describing a possible trajectory through time. We assume a principle of inertia and prefer those developments, which are compatible with the information, and avoid unnecessary changes. The logical properties of the updates defined in this way are considered, and a representation result is proved.


Code Review Comments: Language Matters

Abstract: Recent research provides evidence that effective communication in collaborative software development has significant impact on the software development lifecycle. Although related qualitative and quantitative studies point out textual characteristics of well-formed messages, the underlying semantics of the intertwined linguistic structures still remain largely misinterpreted or ignored. Especially, regarding quality of code reviews the importance of thorough feedback, and explicit rationale is often mentioned but rarely linked with related linguistic features. As a first step towards addressing this shortcoming, we propose grounding these studies on theories of linguistics. We particularly focus on linguistic structures of coherent speech and explain how they can be exploited in practice. We reflect on related approaches and examine through a preliminary study on four open source projects, possible links between existing findings and the directions we suggest for detecting textual features of useful code reviews.


Reinforcement Learning for Sparse-Reward Object-Interaction Tasks in   First-person Simulated 3D Environments

Abstract: First-person object-interaction tasks in high-fidelity, 3D, simulated environments such as the AI2Thor virtual home-environment pose significant sample-efficiency challenges for reinforcement learning (RL) agents learning from sparse task rewards. To alleviate these challenges, prior work has provided extensive supervision via a combination of reward-shaping, ground-truth object-information, and expert demonstrations. In this work, we show that one can learn object-interaction tasks from scratch without supervision by learning an attentive object-model as an auxiliary task during task learning with an object-centric relational RL agent. Our key insight is that learning an object-model that incorporates object-attention into forward prediction provides a dense learning signal for unsupervised representation learning of both objects and their relationships. This, in turn, enables faster policy learning for an object-centric relational RL agent. We demonstrate our agent by introducing a set of challenging object-interaction tasks in the AI2Thor environment where learning with our attentive object-model is key to strong performance. Specifically, we compare our agent and relational RL agents with alternative auxiliary tasks to a relational RL agent equipped with ground-truth object-information, and show that learning with our object-model best closes the performance gap in terms of both learning speed and maximum success rate. Additionally, we find that incorporating object-attention into an object-model's forward predictions is key to learning representations which capture object-category and object-state.


Graph based adaptive evolutionary algorithm for continuous optimization

Abstract: he greatest weakness of evolutionary algorithms, widely used today, is the premature convergence due to the loss of population diversity over generations. To overcome this problem, several algorithms have been proposed, such as the Graph-based Evolutionary Algorithm (GEA) \cite{1} which uses graphs to model the structure of the population, but also memetic or differential evolution algorithms \cite{2,3}, or diversity-based ones \cite{4,5} have been designed. These algorithms are based on multi-populations, or often rather focus on the self-tuning parameters, however, they become complex to tune because of their high number of parameters. In this paper, our approach consists of an evolutionary algorithm that allows a dynamic adaptation of the search operators based on a graph in order to limit the loss of diversity and reduce the design complexity.

Sexy, but Scratchy!

While I am disappointed that this scratchy robe is not the comfortable-but-sexy set I was looking for, I still love that it looks sexy paired with another piece of lingerie underneath, and will continue to wear it that way.

Okay, so as a mom and a wife I love to look sexy, but there are times I wish I could just have both- sexy and comfortable. I want something that I can wear to bed, look sexy in while we play, and then fall asleep in afterwards and sleep in all night long. When I saw this robe on Eden, it looked like the perfect solution. With the satiny looking sleeves and the loose fitting appearance, it really looked like something for me, so I decided to give it a shot!

CONTENTS

The package arrived in a plain brown box, as usual from Eden. Upon opening, I found the robe wrapped in plastic wrap and armed with a coat hanger.

This set includes a black robe with beautiful back lacing, a simple black G-String thong, and a cute matching coat hanger. Upon first opening, the robe material felt great! Soft and silky in my hands, and the lacing on the back really stood out to me as very pretty.

MATERIALS/DESIGN

This gorgeous robe set by DreamGirl comes with a robe and a thong, both in black.

The robe is made out of 75% polyester and 25% nylon. It has beautiful lacing all across the back, and what I couldn't tell from the stock picture, it also comes towards the front, and a little under the arms. It closes in the front with a tie. The sleeves are very flowing and comfortable, and hit right under the elbow.

Close- up of the lacing:

The thong is the simplest thong you can get; very basic and made out of 100% polyester... not too much to say about this plain thong, except the quality of the material and make seems to be good.

SIZING/FIT

I am currently in-between sizes on most things, so I chose to order the smaller size, because I want to be able to wear this one for a long time.

Thinking that this was just a robe and robes are typically a little billowy, I ordered down. If you are on the border, or want a longer or looser fitting robe, I would order up. Being only 5'2, this is VERY short on me, the bottom of the robe hitting right under my butt, and riding up while I walk or move around to show more than I would have liked to show. I just can't imagine a taller person fitting in this correctly unless at least ordering one size up. If you have a few more inches on me, I would definitely order a size up, unless you want the bottom of the robe to expose half your butt.

Due to the length of the robe, mixed in with where the ties on the robe sit, it accentuated my hips and love handles in a way that I just cannot appreciate while wearing it tied up.

When first putting the robe on, it felt great! The long, loose, silky sleeves felt soft and luxurious on my skin, and it was very easy to tie up. Unfortunately, after wearing for only about 10 minutes and moving a bit, the lace in the back started to get very irritating. It is VERY scratchy, and not only is it only on the back-piece; it also comes around towards the front, and under the arms. The soft and silkiness of the sleeves mixed in with the harsh scratchiness of the back piece is just not a good combo at all!

Beautiful, but oh so irritating and scratchy! Definitely not the idea I was going for!

The thong fit perfect, the sides didn't dig in at all, and there was a good amount of coverage in front.

Experience

After my initial trying on process alone in the bedroom, I was disappointed that this was not the sexy AND comfortable robe I was looking for. I didn't really like how it looked tied very much, and the back definitely made it not comfortable enough to sleep in or have my morning coffee in. So, I ditched the idea of comfortable and decided to aim for sexy instead. I really wanted to find a way to love this robe, having loved the lacing so much, and found a way I did!

I found that this piece looks really great over a white corset or form fitting piece of lingerie underneath. Tied, it adds a really nice touch of mystery and sexiness, and untied, it really adds a nice touch with the contrasting black and white and the pretty black lacing in the back.

I just love the edge of mystery it gives to the piece underneath. Alone, the lingerie underneath leaves little to the imagination, but paired with the robe over it, it adds some mystery, not to mention beautiful lacing to the mix.

When looking for a new piece to add to our collection, my husband felt "eh" about my choice to pick this robe. He seemed to have written it off as a comfy piece that I will sleep in that won't be anything special. I felt the same way after my initial trying on, but after pairing it with something else, we both agreed that it was great for playtime! He loved the look of it covering another piece, and he even liked the simple thong. I typically wear thicker laced thongs, so the look of the G-String thong really turned him on, too! We now both agree to add this to one of "the regulars" for our nighttime playtimes.

FTC guidelines.

Thanks! I think if it were like at least 3-4 inches longer and a different material in the back on the lacing it would be perfect! lol

Ms. N

The back is gorgeous. I tend to find DG products to be a bit small in my usual size large, so I have to get an XL if it is available. For this one, I guess I would have to go 1X/2X, but if it is scratchy, I think I will pass.

Thanks for the great review.

LoveTies

Ms. N: thanks for the tip, I will keep that in mind next time I order something from DG. It's hard to know what size to get when they are all so different usually!

Rossie: I know, I am so bummed! I really wanted this one to be different!

married with children: you're welcome

JessCee: It sucks, huh! It would be so great without that annoying scratching!!

mpfm: you're welcome!

MORGANTOWN--For a guy whom some believe either is mad about his playing time or wants to go elsewhere, Noel Devine is certainly putting on a good front.

The 2006 YouTube blur came to West Virginia in July amid projections of All-American fortune and a role in the fastest ground game on cleats. He has held up his end to the bargain.

As BCS-6th-ranked West Virginia's season rolls merrily along to an unprecedented fifth straight January bowl--provided it keeps its end of the bargain in these last three regular season games--Devine has been a bonanza--albeit a quiet one.

He has returned more kickoffs (13) for more yardage (289) on a 8-1 team that already had two excellent return men (Darius Reynaud and Vaughn Rivers). His long has been 41. He says now he hopes to break one before this season ends.

Everyone, including head coach Rich Rodriguez, wants him to touch the ball more. Devine currently is third on a team that averages almost 290 rushing yards per game in rushing. He happens to have a returning All-American and a Heisman Trophy candidate who have received 288 of the Mountaineers' total 435 carries.

Yet his numbers--46 touches from the line of scrimmage for 410 yards and 3 TDs--are provocative. This amounts to almost 9 yards every time he gets his hands on the ball; not counting his returns.

The suspected green mamba was found on a ship that had docked in Aberdeen from west Africa last month.
The snake died after it was placed in a freezer by the animal charity after attempts to rehome it with specialist reptile keepers failed.
The snake was later identified as a harmless green tree snake.
Police Scotland said a complaint was under consideration.
Scottish SPCA Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "We were called out after a green snake arrived in Aberdeen on a boat from Africa.
"The snake was thought to be a green mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The snake was taken by police escort to our Aberdeenshire animal rescue and rehoming centre.
"Sadly the snake, which staff genuinely believed to be a green mamba, had to be put to sleep after our attempts to rehome it to specialist reptile keepers were unsuccessful."
He added: "We could not keep the snake in our centre due to severe health and safety concerns, as the closest anti-venom is held in Bedford. Green mambas also require a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence which the society does not have.
"The safety of our staff and the public is paramount and as such the snake was placed in a freezer where it passed away.
"The Scottish SPCA is proud of its policy not put healthy animals to sleep. Animals are only put to sleep on veterinary advice if they are too ill or too aggressive to be rehomed, or where we are legally required to do so.
"The decision to euthanise the snake was not taken lightly. Unfortunately, the snake has since been identified as a harmless green tree snake. This has been an honest mistake on the society's part as we genuinely believed this was an extremely deadly snake."
The western green mamba feeds on small animals and rodents and is mainly found in the coastal tropical rainforests of western Africa.
Experts say its bite can be fatal in as little as 30 minutes.

A complaint about the Scottish SPCA putting what was thought to be one of the world's most deadly snakes to sleep is being investigated by police.


The all-rounder has been included in the T20 squad to face Sri Lanka on 5 July at the Ageas Bowl, having been part of the World T20 squad in March.
"It's nice to be involved again," the 26-year-old slow left-armer and right-handed batsman told BBC Radio Solent.
"I wasn't expecting to be as I thought Moeen Ali would, but him being rested hands me another opportunity."
Dawson failed to make an appearance during England's run to the World T20 final in India this year, but his limited-overs performances for Hampshire this season have kept him in contention.
"I'm not sure what team they'll go with," he said.
"I've had some good performances for Hampshire in one-day and T20 cricket and if I keep going with that, hopefully I might get a chance."

Hampshire's Liam Dawson says it would be "amazing" to make his England Twenty20 debut on his home ground.


The Egypt-backed plan had envisaged a regional forum which analysts say might have forced Israel to reveal whether or not it has nuclear weapons.
The proposal was blocked by the US, the UK and Canada. The next review is set for  2020.
Israel neither confirms nor denies it has a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Speaking after four weeks of negotiations, US Under-Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller accused Egypt and other Arab countries of "not willing to let go of these unrealistic and unworkable conditions" for future talks.
She also said some participants tried to "cynically manipulate" the whole process.
But Egypt warned that the failure to reach a deal "will have consequences in front of the Arab world and public opinion", the Associated Press news agency reports.
Last month, Egypt had proposed to stage a regional conference - with or without Israel's participation and without an agreed agenda.
Some analysts suggested that this move might have forced Israel - which is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) - to publicly clarify its position on nuclear weapons.
Decisions at NPT review conferences - held every five years - are made by consensus.
The failure of the current talks means the next gathering could only be held in 2020 at the earliest.

A UN conference aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has ended in failure after a row over a nuclear-free Middle East proposal.


Mothers-to-be are more likely to get malaria as their immunity is lowered, says the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).
Malaria carries serious risks for mother and baby including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labour.
The tropical disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a fever, flu-like symptoms, vomiting and diarrhoea.
There have been no malaria-related deaths in pregnant or recently pregnant women in the UK in the past decade but the RCOG says it has been receiving inquires from worried women.
In the UK, about 1,500 cases of malaria are reported each year and about 10 people will die, said the RCOG.
It says all non-essential trips to areas with a high risk of malaria should be avoided.
Risk areas include large areas of Africa, Asia including China and India, Central and South America, parts of the Middle East and some Pacific Islands.
If the trip is unavoidable, the college advises women to seek advice from a centre with expertise in malaria which will provide information on ways to reduce the risk of infection.
Women should make sure they are aware of the risk, take out measures such as mosquito nets for bite prevention and take anti-malarial medication.
Philippa Marsden, who chairs the RCOG's patient information committee, said although the risks were still relatively small it was important that women were well-informed.
Cath Broderick of the RCOG women's network said: "If women are worried about symptoms after returning from a high-risk country and think they may have malaria, they should see a doctor immediately and inform them of their recent travels."
Symptoms can take a week or more to develop after being bitten.

Pregnant women should visit countries with a risk of malaria only if their trip is essential, experts are warning.


Researchers at the University of Sheffield said the tumours were effectively "fertilising" the bone to help themselves grow.
The study, in the journal Nature, said it may be possible to protect bone from a tumour's nefarious influence and consequently stop the cancer's spread.
Cancer charities said this opened up "a whole new avenue for research".
Around 85% of breast cancers that spread around the body end up in bone, at which point the cancer is difficult to treat and more deadly.
The scientists, in Sheffield and the University of Copenhagen, discovered patients with secondary cancers had higher levels of an enzyme called LOX being produced by their tumours and released into the blood.
Bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. But in a series of experiments on mice, the research team showed LOX was disrupting the process and leaving lesions and holes in the bone.
Using drugs to block LOX prevented the cancer from spreading.
Dr Alison Gartland, a reader in bone and cancer biology at the university, told the BBC News website: "We think it's a significant breakthrough in trying to prevent metastases (secondary tumours) in breast cancer.
"The cancer cells in the primary tumour are actually fertilising the soil for the future growth of itself, LOX is changing the environment in bone to make it better to grow."
The animal tests also showed that a set of osteoporosis drugs called bisphosphonates could prevent the spread of cancer.
Bisphosphonates also interfere with the way bone is recycled in order to strengthen it.
They are already given to some cancer patients, but the Sheffield team believe they could have a much larger role.
The effect was discovered only in oestrogen-negative breast cancers. They account for around a third of cases, but are far more deadly.
Katherine Woods, from Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "By unveiling the role that the protein LOX is playing, these results open up a whole new avenue for research and treatments that could stop breast cancer spreading to the bone.
"The research also adds weight to the growing body of evidence supporting the role of bisphosphonates in stopping secondary breast cancer in its tracks.
"The reality of living with secondary breast cancer in the bone is a stark one, which leaves many women with bone pain and fractures that need extensive surgery just when they need to be making the most of the time they have left with friends and family."
The findings may also apply in colon cancer.

Breast cancers can manipulate the structure of bone to make it easier to spread there, a study has found.


Mr. Holland's Opus

Glenn Holland, not a morning person by anyone's standards, is woken up by his wife Iris early one bright September morning in 1964. Glenn has taken a job as a music teacher at the newly renamed John F. Kennedy High School. He intends his job to be a sabbatical from being a touring musician, during which he hopes to have more "free time" to compose. However, he soon finds that his job as a teacher is more time-consuming than he first thought.As he arrives at the school for the first time, he meets Vice Principal Wolters, who comments on his Corvair, the model of car the Ralph Nader wrote a book about. Inside the building, he meets Principal Helen Jacobs. Having got off to an awkward start with both of them, he goes to the music room and meets his students for the first time. The students are dull, apathetic, and mostly terrible musicians. At lunchtime, he meets the football coach, Bill Meister, and strikes up a friendship with him. At the end of his stressful first day, Glenn and Iris talk about their future. If everything goes according to plan, between his paychecks and what she made with her photography, he should be able to quit in four years and go back to his music, including composing.Glenn notices one dedicated but inept clarinet player, Gertrude Lang, and starts working with her individually. He continues attempting to teach the class about music and continues working on his music at home as time passes. Grading papers gradually replaces working on his own music during his home time, much to his chagrin. After several months, Glenn grows exasperated when it seems that none of his students have learned anything from his classes. Gertrude, despite diligent practice, does not improve her clarinet-playing. Glenn's exasperation is further compounded when the Principal Jacobs chastises him for not focusing properly on his students. She has noticed that he is even happier to leave at the end of each day than most of the students. Later, Glenn expounds his frustration to Iris, who then informs him that she's pregnant. Glenn is dumbstruck, and his muteness upsets Iris. To comfort her, he tells her a story about how he discovered John Coltrane (his favorite musician) records as a teenager, the point being he could get used to this turn of affairs.After some soul-searching, Glenn decides to try some unconventional methods of teaching music appreciation, including the use of 'Rock and Roll' to interest students, demonstrating to them the similarities between Bach's "Minuet in G" and rock-and-roll in the form of the Toys' "Lovers Concerto". For the first time, the students are interested in the class, and Glenn appears much happier as he relates this to Iris as they assemble a crib. Their apartment is getting more and more crowded, and Glenn suggests that they get a house. Iris is overjoyed, even though it means using their savings and Glenn sacrificing his summer vacation, which he intended to use to work on his composing, in order to make extra money teaching Driver's Ed. Glenn does right by his family but he knows he can forget about getting out of the teaching gig for the foreseeable future.Continuing his new, unorthodox teaching methods, he finally gets Gertrude, who was on the verge of giving up, to have a breakthrough and become a more skilled clarinet player. She rediscovers her joy of playing, and the now-competent band go on to play at the 1965 graduation. Summer vacation begins, and Glenn follows through on his plan to teach Driver's Ed, having a series of near-death experiences at the hands of new drivers. Glenn and Iris move into their new house. Soon, we see the Driver's Ed car once again, except this time it is Glenn himself driving like a maniac, breaking every traffic law - so that he could get to the hospital to see his newborn son, Coltrane ("Cole") Holland.Glenn's unorthodox teaching methods do not go unnoticed by Principal Jacobs, or Vice-Principal Wolters. They, along with the conservative School Board and the parents of the community, are hostile to rock-and-roll. Glenn is able to convince the principal that he believes strongly that teaching the students about all music, including rock-and-roll, will help them appreciate it all the more. The principal and vice principal also hand him a new assignment, to get a marching band together for the football team. Glenn is at a loss with this concept, until his Bill Meister agrees to help, in exchange for Glenn putting one of his football players, Louis Russ, in the band to allow him to earn an extra curricular activity credit, which he needs in order to stay eligible for the sports teams. Louis knows absolutely nothing about music, but takes up drums. He has trouble keeping time and always finds himself out of place with the rest of the band.Later, Glenn and Bill are chatting while playing chess. Bill, a bachelor, wants to know about Glenn's stories of debauchery as a traveling musician, but Glenn doesn't want to talk about the past, as he is a different person in a different time. Glenn instead tells Bill he is pessimistic about Louis Russ. Bill encourages him to keep trying. Much as he worked with Gertrude earlier, Glenn starts working one-on-one with Louis, helping to get a feel for the tempo of music. After some hard work, Louis gets it, and later, he marches with the band in the local parade, much to the delight of his family.Immediately behind the Kennedy band in the parade is a fire engine, and its deafeningly loud horn catches everyone by surprise. Iris looks into Cole's stroller to check on him, but the noise hasn't awakened Cole - the boy is deaf. The revelation drives a wedge between Glenn and his son, as it seems that his son cannot understand what he does. A more somber Glenn teaches his students about Beethoven, the deaf composer.Time passes, and we see a montage of events from the late '60s, as Glenn picks away as his composition a little at a time and watches Iris work with Cole. We stop again in the early '70s, with Glenn still directing his high school band. Cole is old enough to enter school. Because of her mounting frustration with her inability to communicate with Cole, she insists on sending him to a special school for the deaf, whatever the cost. The three of them visit the school. Glenn winces at the cost, but they enroll Cole and set about to learn sign language themselves, though Iris puts more effort into it than Glenn.Apathetic students still go through Glenn's classes, and one of them, named Stadler, is stoned. Glenn is chewing him out when Glenn receives bad news. He tells Stadler to meet him on Saturday. On that day, they appear at a funeral. Louis Russ has come home from Vietnam after being killed in action. Coach Meister is there, and he and Glenn mourn. At the end of that academic year, Bill reveals that he finally has a steady girl-friend, and Principal Jacobs retires from the high school, praising Glenn for what he has done.We see another montage of events, this time in the 1970s. Glenn continues teaching Driver's Ed in the summer. We see the class of 1980 being welcomed back, suggesting that it is now September 1979. Glenn and Bill Meister team up to help the Drama Department, when it is rumored that funding may be pulled. Glenn and Bill tell Wolters, now the principal, have an idea to be certain the school will make money rather than lose it; it will be a musical revue of Gershwin classics. During auditions for the musical revue, Glenn becomes entranced and interested in a talented young singer named Rowena Morgan. At home, the teenage Cole comes home and tells Glenn about the science fair, which Glenn missed. Iris is fluent at sign language now, but Glenn is still only fair. Iris reproaches him for spending so much time with the school projects and the students while neglecting his own son. Glenn is frustrated, realizing that his own musical composing has been on the back burner for 15 years now.Rowena visits Glenn at a diner, where he has gotten into the habit of going to get out of the house and have someplace quiet to work. Unknown to Iris, Glenn writes a small piece that he titles "Rowena's Theme," and takes an interest when Rowena states that she wants to leave town and go to New York to sing professionally. Glenn's life at home is still strained. Iris agrees to come to the school play on Saturday, because she had a meeting with Cole's teachers on opening night (Friday).The school revue arrives at last, and is a big hit, playing to a packed house. In the audience we see Coach Meister wearing a ring (he married the woman we saw earlier), and Sarah, the drama teacher, shows Principal Wolters something on a new invention, a handheld calculator (presumably, showing him how much gate money made it into the school coffers, as Wolters looks impressed). After the revue, Rowena comes to see Glenn in the auditorium, and she tells him she intends to pursue her dream of singing by going to New York the very next night, after the second and last performance of the revue. Glenn is taken aback. Rowena hints that she'd like Glenn to come with her. Glenn goes home and looks at his photo album, looking at pictures of his family and pictures of his old life as a traveling musician, now half a lifetime in the past. He is tempted to leave everything behind and go with Rowena to restore his old life as a musician. However, he realizes he is no longer the same person as he was then. He visits Rowena at the bus stop and sees her off, giving her the names of someone in New York who will help her find lodging. Glenn watches her depart, and goes home, content in his love for Iris.The timeline then shifts to late 1980, when John Lennon is killed. Glenn goes home and finds Cole working on Glenn's old Corvair. When Cole asks what is wrong, Glenn tries to explain, but then gives up, feeling that his son wouldn't understand John Lennon or his music. This infuriates Cole who (through Iris), explains that he does care about Glenn and knows about John Lennon, but that Glenn does not seem to be at all interested in communicating with him. Cole berates his father for putting so much effort in to teaching his students and very little towards him, calling him an asshole in sign language as he stalks off. Glenn then makes an effort, and even provides a concert at the high school, which also features lights and other items to enhance the show for deaf members of the school where Cole attends. Glenn, having become somewhat more proficient in sign language, even does an interpretation of Lennon's song 'Beautiful Boy,' dedicated to Cole. Later, Glenn discovers Cole listening to records by sitting on the speakers and feeling the vibrations through his body, and they can start healing the rift between them, even as Glenn's composition continues to gather dust.Time passes. It's now 1995. Glenn goes to see Principal Wolters, who announces that Art, Music and Drama have been cut from the school curriculum, and Glenn would be out of a job shortly. Glenn, who has become a cynical old man, tells Wolters that to cut the fine arts would lead to a generation of students who would be proficient at reading and writing and math (maybe) but would have nothing to read or write about. Wolters offers to write Glenn a reference, but Glenn, who is now 60 years old, fully recognizes the futility of the gesture. His working days are over and he knows it. Then he looks up at the picture on the wall of the long-departed former Principal Jacobs. He says Jacobs would have fought the budget cuts, and he will too. Glenn pleads to the school board to reconsider, but they refuse.At home, Iris reads a letter from the now-grown Cole. He has become a teacher himself, and was considering an offer from a university for the deaf in Washington, D.C. He also has taken Glenn's old car, the Corvair that we saw at the beginning and that Cole was working on in his teens, and jokingly writes that he will never give it back. Despondent, Glenn walks through the school on his last day, and he talks to Coach Bill, whose job as football coach is safe, though he can't be far from retirement himself. Glenn figures that he will bring in some money teaching piano lessons on the side, but he's unprepared to be forced into early retirement.On Glenn's final day at the school, Cole shows up driving the Corvair. School's out for him, too. Glenn is surprised when Iris and Cole lead him to the school auditorium, where they have organized a surprise going-away celebration for him. He sees many of his former students in the audience, including Stadler, the pothead from years before. Arriving next is Gertrude Lang, the clarinetist who Glenn helped in the 60s, who has since become the state's governor. Gertrude thanks Glenn for his dedication, and Glenn is very moved. He is moved to tears when she gives him a baton and asks him to conduct his own composition, which she had got hold of. The curtains open and a band, filled with more of Glenn's former students, is assembled and ready to play. Governor Lang picks up her clarinet and takes her place among them, and they play, for the first time, the musical Opus that Glenn had been picking away at for three decades.


The Brood

At the Somafree Institute, Dr. Hal Raglan humiliates his patient Mike by saying: "you're just a weak person. You must have got that from your mother. It probably would have been better for you if you had been born a girl!" On the dimly lit stage, Raglan demands a demonstration of anger, and Mike reveals angry red blotches covering his torso. The audience gasps. Raglan announces that this is psychoplasmcis; the physical manifestation of mental rage by the appearance of the welts on one's body.Meanwhile, Frank Carveth collects his nine-year-old daughter Candy from a 'Private Guest Room'. Candy wears a red coat with fur trim and hood. Bathing her, Frank finds bruises and scratches on her back. He drives to the Somafree Institute to confront Raglan and demands to see his wife Nola, whom has been committed there. Raglan refuses. Frank accuses Nola of abusing their daughter and says he will stop Candy's next visit. Raglan threatens legal action if Frank withholds a vital part of Nola's treatment. Frank then goes to his lawyer, Al Resnikoff, who tells him that Nola has a stronger legal position despite the fact that she is committed to a mental hospital. Frank says that he will do what he has to. He takes Candy to her maternal grandmother, Juliana, who seems highly strung out.Back at the institute, Raglan goes into Nola's room (play-acting as Candy) and he asks her why she hurt her daughter Candice. Raglan/Candice says: "Mummies don't hurt their own children". Nola sobs that they do. She tells Raglan that her own mother was "fucked up and bad". Raglan encourages her anger by telling her: "Go all the way through it, right to the end."That evening at Juliana's house, she investigates a noise in the kitchen. Food, juice, glasses and dishes are thrown all over the floor. She is bludgeoned by what appears to be a small child wearing a red hooded raincoat with fur trim. As Candy watches from behind a door, small claw-like hands leaves bloodstains on the banisters. The next morning at his workplace, Frank is informed of Juliana's murder. Police psychologist Dr. Birkin tells Frank so encourage Candy to remember what happened, a breakdown is possible if she doesn't remember. "These things tend to express themselves in one way or another" says Dr. Birkin.At the institute, Raglan speaks to Nola as her father. She quickly gets very angry saying: "You shouldn't have walked way when she hit me." Red welts appear on Nola's forehead as she speaks.At the local airport, Frank and Candy meet Barton Kelly, Nola's estranged father, who has come for his ex-wife's funeral. On Resnikoff's advice, Frank visits Jan Hartog, an ex-Somafree patient taking legal action against Dr. Raglan. Uncovering a row of tumors on his neck, Hartog says bitterly: "Raglan encourages my body to revolt against me. And it did. I have a small revolution on my hands and I'm not putting it down very successfully."Back at the institute, a drunk Barton Kelly arrives and is furious when Raglan will not allow him to see Nola. Meanwhile, Frank arrives at Candy's school where her teacher, Ruth Mayer, sits with her. Candy invites Ruth to dinner at her house. That evening, Ruth arrives and has dinner with Frank and Candy. A little later, Barton calls Frank from Juliana's house, saying he needs Frank's help to see Nola. Frank leaves Ruth babysitting Candy, who picks up a book to read which is titled 'The Shape Of Rage'. Raglan's book on Psychoplasmics.At Juliana's house, Barton is alone when the same small figure wearing the hooded red raincoat emerges from under his bed and batters him to a very gory death with a pair of paperweights. Frank arrives a few minutes later and finds the body. The strange-looking "child" jumps on him like some aggressive animal, clawing at him until it suddenly falls off his back to the floor and seemingly dies. Frank picks up the phone to call the police. Back at Frank's house, Ruth Mayer answers a phone call from Nola calling from the institute, who then goes in a berserk rage when Ruth answers the phone and suspects that she is having an affair with her husband.At the police station, Frank gives his statement and then meets the pathologist who performed the autopsy on the mysterious 'child creature' that attacked him where the doctor tells him that the creature died simply because: "it ran out of gas". Or more likely "its batteries expired". The pathologist points out that the creature has strange eyes, no sexual organs, and no navel. "This creature has never really been born... at least not the way human beings are born" says the pathologist.Raglan (as Ruth Mayer) speaks to Nola, Raglan/Ruth says that Frank will divorce Nola and marry her. The jealous Nola screams to leave Frank alone. When Frank gets home from the police station, Ruth leaves in a hurry. He finds Candy cowering in a corner of her bedroom after a nightmare. He tells her that the 'thing' is dead.The next morning, Raglan reads about Barton Kelly's murder. Taking a gun from his desk, he instructs his assistant, Chris, to get all the patients out of the institute. Meanwhile, Frank visits the hospital where Mike is now a fellow patient of Hartog's and is told that Nola is in fact the only patient at Somafree. Mike becomes angry about being dumped by his "daddy", his face becomes one giant red sore.Frank takes Candy to school. In Ruth Mayer's art class, two 'children creatures' in pastel coats with hoods pick up wooden hammers and beat Ruth mercilessly to a gory death. Alerted by a boy's cries for help, Frank enters the classroom to find Ruth dead, and Candy gone.At the institute, Raglan wakes Nola. She relates a dream that Candy was coming back to her, and says she doesn't feel threatened by Ruth Mayer any more. At the same time, Candy is being led along a snowy highway by the two creatures.That evening, Mike turns up on Frank's doorstep raving about: "the disturbed kids in the work shed. The ones your wife's taking care of." Frank drives to the Somafree Institute where outside Raglan pulls a gun on him, saying they'll kill him if he tries to take Candy away from them. In a long monologue, Raglan tells Frank that the child creatures that have been doing all the killing are Nola's children. "Nola is not their surrogate mother, she's their real mother." They are the Brood; the parthenogenesis 'children' of Nola's rage. Over the past year-and-a-half Nola's psychoplasmics have manifested into these children which carry out her bidding whenever she's in an angry mood. Raglan tells Frank that Candy is locked up in the attic where the Brood are being kept, and that if he wants Candy back, Frank must go to Nola to convince her that he wants Candy back to live with him. If he can do that, the Brood will be neutral so Raglan can go into the attic and take Candy, if not... the Brood will attack as long as Nola is in a rage.While Raglan waits outside the attic door where the Brood are being kept, Frank goes to Nola's room. He finds Nola rocking back and forth, wearing a white robe bathed in light. Nola wakes from her trance-like state and seems happy that he has come to see her. Frank says that he wants to be back with her. (Note: throughout the entire movie, Nola is only shown from the chest up which is apparently to hide something). At this point, Nola throws back her white robe, revealing an umbilical cord and external sac on her abdomen. The years of the welts that have appeared on her chest have merged together to create this womb outside her body as an incubator for the Brood that she produces. Frank recoils in horror and disgust.In the attic, Raglan quietly enters where all the sleeping Brood lie in their bunk beds. He finds Candy in one and picks her up to carry her out. Just then, the Brood stirs, sensing Nola's mounting anger.In Nola's room, she tears open the sac, removing a bloody 'infant' which she licks clean, as an animal might after having given birth. Frank's true feelings towards all this become apparent to Nola and her rage erupts.In the attic, the Brood finally become active, leaping on Raglan, who manages to shoot a few of them, but he gets overwhelmed and beaten to death by the Brood. In Nola's room, she angrily tells Frank that she would see Candy die then let him take her away. Upstairs, the Brood then turn their attention to the petrified Candy who runs and locks herself in the closet room in the attic, but they break through the door to grab at her. Frank attacks Nola and strangles her to death with his bare hands to save Candy when he hears the noises coming from the attic. When Nola stops breathing, all is suddenly silent.Frank goes upstairs to the attic to find all the Brood dead outside the room where Candy locked herself in, realizing that the Brood died without their mother's connection. Raglan is also dead nearby having been beaten to death and lying next to a few of the Brood he managed to kill before being overwhelmed. Candy is quivering in a corner of the room and Frank enters picks her up and tells her that he is taking her home. As Frank drives home with Candy, she seems to have withdrawn into a state of shock and cannot speak. Frank doesn't notice two raised lumps on her left arm... signs of her inner rage. The welts suggests that eventually like mother, like daughter...
