As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 16 and 17, the first force supply member 140 comprises a pair of torsion springs. An end of each torsion spring 140 is configured as a free end 140 a, which is adapted to move along the first and second guide surfaces 112 and 113 of the sliding movement unit 111 and rotate to provide an elastic force. The central portion 140 b of each torsion spring 140 is coupled to a spring support protrusion 120 a protruding from the lower end surface of the first sliding member 120. The other end of each torsion spring 140 is configured as a fixed end 140 c, which is coupled to a hole 120 b formed on the first sliding member 120. The roller unit 180 is mounted on the free end 140 a. As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 15 and 23, the main housing 20 and the sliding housing 30 are provided with a locking means 190 to guide the independent sliding movement of the sliding housing 30 from the main housing 20 in the longitudinal direction A1 and in the perpendicular direction A2, as well as to lock and restrict it. The locking member 190 includes first and second locking members 191 and 192. When the sliding housing 30 slides in the longitudinal direction A1, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 23, the first locking member 191 inserted into a first latching protrusion 201 formed on the upper surface of the main housing 20 and is restricted by it. Then, the sliding movement of the sliding housing 30 in the perpendicular direction A2 is restricted.
When the sliding housing 30 is to be slid again towards the main housing 20 in the longitudinal direction A1, as shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 17, 19, 20, 21, and 22, the sliding housing 30 slides in the opposite direction to the longitudinal direction A1. The roller unit 180 of the free end 140 a is released from the second stopper groove 115 and moves along the second guide surface 113. At the same time, the roller unit 180 of the other free end of the torsion spring 140 moves along the first guide surface 112.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 17 and 21, the torsion spring 140 travels again along the points of curvature 112 a and 113 a of the first and second guide surfaces 112 and 113, respectively, and provides an elastic force. As the roller unit 180 is again inserted into the first stopper groove 114 of the first guide surface 112, the first sliding member 120 and the rotation locker unit 161 b stop in the initial position.
When the sliding housing 30 is slid away from the main housing 20 in the perpendicular direction A2, as shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 27-29, the rotation locker unit 161 b of the rotation stopper unit 161 slides together and is released from the semi-spherical groove 137 of the second sliding member 130. In addition, the rotation locker unit 161 b rotates about the hinge axis A3 of the hinge unit 161 a and is inserted into the latching groove 110 a of the base member 110.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 29 and 30, the rotation locker unit 161 b rotates about the hinge axis A3 and is positioned in a line in the perpendicular direction A2 to enable the second sliding member 130 to slide in the perpendicular direction A2. Furthermore, the rotation locker unit 161 b contacts the sliding-side guide rib 131 of the second sliding member 130 while being able to slide.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 30 and 31, the rotation locker unit 161 b releases the restriction so that the second sliding member 130 can slide in the perpendicular direction A2. As the second sliding member 130 slides in the perpendicular direction A2, the sliding-side guide rib 131 slides along the second guide slot 122. As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 29 and 31, the second sliding member 130 has, on its lower surface, a second force supply member 150 and a sliding rib 132 adapted to semi-automatically slide the second sliding member 130 in the perpendicular direction A2 or restrict its movement. The sliding rib 132 has first and second rib-side guide surfaces 133 and 134 formed thereon to guide the second force supply member 150.
The other roller unit 180 of the second force supply member 150 moves along the second rib-side guide surface 134. The first and second rib-side guide surfaces 133 and 134 are symmetric to each other and become narrower towards the center, at which first and second points of curvature 133 a and 134 a are established, respectively. They become wider again past the first and second points of curvature 133 a and 134 a, which define corresponding curves.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 16 and 18, the second force supply member 150 comprises a pair of torsion springs. An end of each torsion spring 150 is configured as a free end 150 a, which is adapted to move along the first and second rib-side guide surfaces 134 and 134 of the sliding rib 132 and rotate to provide an elastic force. The central portion 150 b of each torsion spring 150 is coupled to a spring support protrusion 120 c protruding from the lower end surface of the second sliding member 130. The other end of each torsion spring 150 is configured as a fixed end 150 c, which is coupled to a hole 120 d formed on the first sliding member 120. The roller unit 180 is mounted on the free end 150 a. When the sliding housing 30 slides in the perpendicular direction A2, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 27, the second locking member 192 of the locking member 190 is inserted into a second latching protrusion 202 formed on the upper surface of the main housing 20 and is locked by it to restrict the sliding movement of the sliding housing 30 in the longitudinal direction A1. As the second locking member 192 is inserted into the second latching protrusion 202, the first latching protrusion 201 is guide-released from the first guide coupling unit 193. The second locking member 192 and the first guide coupling unit 193 are positioned on the sliding housing 30.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 36 and 37, an end of the first spring member 301 is configured as a free end 301 a, which is coupled to a hole 1201 formed on the first sliding member 120 and rotates according to the sliding movement. The central portion 301 of the first spring member 301 has a ring spring 301 b positioned thereon, which is adapted to rotate along a predetermined trajectory when the first sliding member 120 slides and provide it with an elastic force so that it can slide semi-automatically. The other end of the first spring member 301 is configured as a fixed end 301 c, which is coupled to a spring coupling member 500 positioned on the base member 110. The spring coupling member 500 is coupled to a coupling hole 1101 formed on the base member 110 to support the fixed end 301.
As shown in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 35 and 38, an end of the second spring member 302 is configured as a free end 302 a, which is coupled to a hole 1301 formed on the second sliding member 130 and rotates according to the sliding movement. The central portion of the second spring member 302 has a ring spring 302 b positioned thereon, which is configured to rotate along a predetermined trajectory when the second sliding member 130 slides and provide it with an elastic force so that it can slide semi-automatically.

Gurgaon: 2 students ‘molested’ by sweeper in Vidya School, accused arrested | gurgaon | Hindustan Times
A case under section 10 of Pocso Act was registered against the accused.
gurgaon Updated: Sep 29, 2017 10:51 IST
Two class 3 students of Gurgaon’s Vidya School were allegedly molested by a sweeper in the institution’s washroom .(HT Photo for representational purpose )
Two class 3 students were allegedly molested by a sweeper in a Gurgaon private school , once again raising safety concerns in the millennium city’s educational institutions.
The 33-year-old accused, identified as Suresh Kumar, was arrested by the police.
The incident comes close on the heels of murder of an eight-year-old Class 2 student by a bus conductor at the Ryan International School on the outskirts of the city.
Kumar, employed as a sweeper in the Vidya School in DLF phase 3, molested the girls when they went to the washroom on Monday, police said.
The incident came to the light during a counselling session where the girls narrated the incident before the school authorities.
The accused is currently a resident of Nathupur village and he hails from Jharkhand.
After getting the complaint from the girl students, the school authorities checked the CCTV recording and found the accused trying to hug and molest the girls.
On Wednesday, a case was registered at the women police station, and Kumar was arrested and produced before a court, which sent him to jail.
The victims told the school teachers that Kumar tried to hold their hands and hug them, and tried to misbehave with them. A complaint was registered with the police by school principal after which action was initiated against the accused.
A case under section 10 of Pocso Act was registered against the accused, and the statements of the students would be recorded soon, said inspector Kailash Yadav, SHO, women police station.
The Gurgaon district administration earlier on Tuesday directed all schools to submit safety certificates in 15 days under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), to ensure protection of school students, officials said.
The directive was issued in the wake of the murder at Ryan School in Bhondsi on September 8.
The schools have been asked to form school safety committees by including two representatives of parents.

The Dusky Topaz - The Washington Post
The Dusky Topaz
Dr. Dale B. Dubin, a Florida plastic surgeon, bought a 13 1/2-pound topaz crystal for $750 in 1972.
In 1978 Dubin had the topaz appraised at $846,300 and, a year later, at $1,057,800--more than 1,000 times his purchase price. Over the next four years, Dubin gave nearly two-thirds of the stone to the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of Natural History, claiming the dramatic increase in the value when he deducted the gift from his federal income taxes. To date museum records indicate, and Dubin confirms, that he has taken tax deductions of more than $500,000 for the gift.
The Internal Revenue Service, which has recently challenged several gifts of gems to the Smithsonian that have been appraised at five times their purchase price, is disputing nearly all of Dubin's deduction.
Ralph Muoio, Dubin's attorney, says that a new technology combining irradiation and heating of the topaz crystal accounts for the increased value. The topaz has already received a partial treatment that has turned it a dusky brown. Further treatment could turn the stone, water-clear when purchased, to an electric blue, and it could then be cut into a myriad of smaller gems for the jewelry market, Muoio says.
In addition, Muoio says that Dubin is entitled under law to deduct the gift at its fair market value and that the two appraisals were done by two independent and respected gem experts.
Al Hazzard, the Connecticut mineral dealer who sold Dubin the stone in 1972, says he has similar stones for sale today, and that he would sell the one he sold to Dubin for between $11,000 and $16,000.
When told of the appraised value Dubin had used, Hazzard whistled and said, "Wow! That's a lot of bucks. God bless him. Lots of luck."
Dr. Martin Welt, the physicist who says he treated Dubin's stone for an estimated $1,000, says he is surprised Dubin donated the topaz to the Smithsonian.
"I've got a pot load of this crap irradiated topaz around here and I don't know what it's worth," said Welt. "I've got thousands of carats of stones, beautiful colors . . . . Does the Smithsonian need any more? . . . Dubin should have at least sent me a bottle of wine or a thank-you note."
Welt, a recognized expert in the field of topaz irradiation, says the topaz might turn blue with further treatment, but that there is also a small chance that in the heat treatment stage "that stone could go from valuable to dust in an instant."
Dubin is one of dozens of Smithsonian gem and mineral donors the IRS has challenged for deducting their gifts at what the IRS claims are grossly exaggerated values. Such gifts are also the subject of an internal debate at the Smithsonian over whether the revered museum has a responsibility to police against potential abuses of legitimate tax shelters.
The Smithsonian, like many museums around the nation, has taken the position that such matters are between the IRS and the taxpayer, and that the museum's only consideration is whether the gift is desirable for the collection.
In recognition of Dubin's gift, the Smithsonian in 1979 awarded him a Smithson Medal, an honor reserved for the institution's most prominent donors.
Dr. George Harlow, curator of minerals at New York's American Museum of Natural History, says, "The real issue is what does the Smithsonian see it the topaz as; do they need it? . . . The whole position of morality in the museum is a very difficult one to evaluate, partially because of the question of 'if you don't accept it, someone else will,' so you're just spiting your face to be honest."
Dubin's topaz was appraised by William Pinch of Rochester, N.Y., and Charles Key of Sarasota, Fla. Pinch declined comment. Key said he was "one hundred percent certain" that the Dubin topaz--which he describes as a top-quality specimen--would turn a rich blue and be of great value in the jewelry market.
Muoio says the untreated topaz is analogous to a work of art not yet completed. "It would be like an artist buying a canvas for a thousand bucks and then putting a painting on it and selling it for a lot more than he paid for the canvas."
"It turned out something he Dubin bought for a relatively small amount of money, because of the advances in technology, is now worth a lot . . . . He got among the two best appraisers in the country to appraise it, and when they tell him it's worth something, then what more can a taxpayer do?" Muoio said.
In a 1980 revenue ruling the IRS took the position that the best indicator of what a stone is worth is what the donor paid for it, not a speculative value based on an abstract formula.
Clear topaz, relatively undesirable for use in jewelry, has been irradiated since the early 1970s and, once blue, is sold widely as a less expensive alternative to aquamarine.
Robert Crowningshield, vice president of the Gemological Institute of America, says irradiated topaz is commonplace and the market price for such stones has dropped dramatically because of an oversupply that occurred after the Dubin appraisals.
Dubin lent the stone to the Smithsonian in July, 1978. According to a Dec. 12, 1978, agreement signed by Dubin and then-Smithsonian curator Paul Desautels, Dubin promised to eventually give the entire stone to the museum. He arranged to give the museum only a part interest in the stone each year, and this allowed him to spread out the tax deduction over those years.
Museum records show Dubin gave the Smithsonian 10 percent of the 30,225-carat stone, or 3,023 carats, in 1978. His attorney, Muoio, says Dubin deducted it from his income taxes as a charitable gift, relying on an Oct. 27, 1978, appraisal of $846,300 by Charles Key.
Key, 48, a mineralogist and appraiser, is one of the nation's most prominent treaters of topaz. His appraisal is a part of the Smithsonian records.
Also a part of Smithsonian records is a Dec. 12, 1978, let- ter from former curator Desautels to Dubin, thanking him for the gift:
"I'm absolutely delighted that you have changed your mind and decided to give us the topaz crystal permanently," Desautels' letter said. "When I first saw it long ago in your home in Tampa you will recall that I coveted it for the national collection . . . . Someday we may get it irradiated because we could certainly use an all-blue crystal . . . ."
In 1979, Smithsonian records show, Dubin gave the museum an additional 24 percent or 7,345 carats of the crystal. That year Key reappraised the stone and said that, in the year since the first appraisal, it had increased in value by $211,500 to $1,057,800. Key said the updated appraisal reflected an increase in the retail value of blue topaz.
Museum records show that by 1981 Dubin had given the Smithsonian 19,011 carats--about two-thirds of the crystal.
Today the stone Dubin donated is on a shelf in the museum's mineral storage room. It is a dusky brown, the result of the earlier irradiation treatment, the first step toward turning it from clear to blue.
Smithsonian Curator-in-Charge John White and other museum officials say they were not aware that the topaz had been treated and that the stone's brown hue was radiation-induced, not natural.
"Our records don't show that it's been treated . . . ," White said. "That's a revelation as far as I'm concerned." CAPTION: Picture, The topaz, appraised at $1,057,800 in 1979, was bought originally for $750. By Dudley M. Brooks -- The Washington Post

Charlie Riedel/Associated Press WASHINGTON — Bill Richardson often denigrated America’s power transmission network as a “third-world grid” when he was President Bill Clinton’s energy secretary, but the more current description of it is “balkanized,” with 500 separate owners. Marc L. Spitzer, a former member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said even that analogy was not harsh enough.“To call the U.S. grid balkanized would insult the Macedonians,” he said. When President Obama presented his plans last month for executive action that would cut emissions of greenhouse gases, one item on his list was strengthening the power grid. It was on the lists of President George W. Bush and Mr. Clinton, too. But for the most part, experts say the grid is not being changed, at least not on a scale big enough to make much difference.Their view is reflected in what they say is a largely hypothetical three-year effort by hundreds of engineers to redraw the grid for the eastern two-thirds of the United States. Engineers in the project, which is now drawing to a close, have proposed a basic redesign for beefing up the Eastern Interconnection, the part of the grid that stretches from Nova Scotia to New Orleans.The redesign would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by replacing coal with wind energy and give the United States something it has never had, a grid designed for shipping bulk amounts of electricity across the continent. The planning, which cost $16 million, shows a substantial carbon emissions reduction.
But the project is covered with footnotes that assert that it does not represent the position of the participants. Continue reading the main story
“Our work goes into the general knowledge base of the kind of answers you would get when you ask certain policy questions,” said David Whiteley, the executive director of the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative, which carried out the study. Christopher Russo, an energy consultant at Charles River Associates, which helped with the redesign, called it “a technical road map” of thousands of miles of high-capacity transmission lines, and calculations of electricity supply and load and the paths between them.“We said, ‘Here’s what we could do,’ ” he said. “We haven’t said how we would pay for it.”Still, drawing a sketch is a step forward. The grid is divided into regions that cover a state or a compact area (like New England) or slightly larger units, like PJM, which once stood for Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland but now extends through West Virginia, Ohio and the Chicago area. Almost all planning is done within those regions, as if they were islands. Federal officials say there is not even a regulatory mechanism for planning a line that does more than connect two regions.“Given the history of this particular industry and its complexity, it is just not going to happen, at least not any time soon,” said James J. Hoecker, a former member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has some jurisdiction over transmission lines. One problem, he said, is “resource nationalism,” in which individual states want to use local resources, whether they are coal or yet-to-be-built offshore wind, rather than importing from neighbors in a way that could be more economical.For now, engineers in the grid redesign project have determined that conducting business as usual between 2010 and 2030 would require $18.5 billion in new transmission lines in the United States, while a system designed to integrate renewables like wind energy on a large scale would cost $115.2 billion. In some places, however, renewables could cut electricity costs by allowing the replacement of high-cost generators with lower-cost ones.
Jim Young/Reuters The technology, the engineering skill and even the money are all available, experts say, but the ability to reach agreement on such a grid is not. Dozens of experts said in interviews that there were simply too many players, both commercial and governmental, and too many conflicting interests.Some of the players have a stake in cleaner or cheaper electricity, but others do not. “There are participants who have a vested interest in the high price of electricity, not the low price of electricity,” said Douglas Gotham, an industry analyst at Purdue University.
The hurdles are particularly acute with wind. Electricity can be made from natural gas almost anywhere, because a superb gas network, built under federal regulation over the last 60 years, will move the gas to wherever it is most convenient to burn it. Energy from coal can also be made almost anywhere. But to make electricity from wind, the generator has to be where the resource is, and for wind, that means places with few major power lines.In Kansas, for example, sites are available where the wind is so strong that over the course of a year, a wind machine will produce half of its theoretical maximum capacity — an excellent output. But wind machines are more common in eastern locations where energy production is only one-third of the theoretical maximum.“You could expect 40 or 50 percent more energy” with wind machines in western Kansas, said Michael Skelly, the president of Clean Line Energy Partners, a company that is trying to build, piecemeal, elements of the current plan. In an end run around the traditional regulatory process, Clean Line’s transmission lines would be a bit like private toll roads, financed outside the usual system, and available under contract. The company is planning four large projects but faces significant regulatory hurdles.The existing grid also makes it difficult to predict the energy output from wind projects. At a single wind farm, energy production can range from zero to 100 percent. But with hundreds of wind farms networked together, production would almost never be zero. Utility planners could in fact derive a minimum likely capacity, an important statistic as more resources are poured into building wind farms.However, wind energy works only if it is widely shared. Already, there are times in the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest when wind production exceeds demand in the regions to which it can be easily sent. Electricity is a supply chain with a time lag even shorter than the one for sushi. If the power cannot be sent somewhere instantly, it is useless.For now, there is simply no momentum for a transmission system that would connect the best sites for renewable energy with the biggest areas of demand. “There’s no overall transmission planning for the entire interconnection,” said Vladimir S. Koritarov, deputy director of the Center for Energy, Environmental and Economic Systems Analysis at Argonne National Laboratory.There is some hope for individual projects, although experts say they are the equivalent of building Interstate highways one route at a time.“We’ve found a lot of different ways that transmission will fail to be built,” said David S. Hamilton, the director for clean energy of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign “This, at least, is one that has not yet failed.”

OVERVIEW: Richardson is a selfless, team player who has been a steady performer for Vanderbilt since his freshman year in 2008. One of only three players that saw action as true frosh in 2008, mainly in a backup role, Richardson was thrust into a starting role in the Music City Bowl. He not only got the job done but he scored the only touchdown of the game for the Commodores when he alertly jumped on a muffed punt in the end zone. Richardson, who is built like a linebacker but with the speed of a defensive back, has over 250 tackles during his Commodore career. Prior to the 2011 season Sean had more career tackles than any other player in the SEC except for teammate Chris Marve. BEST MOMENT: 2010 vs. Northwestern. Richardson had 8 tackles including 2 1/2 for losses. MEMORABLE QUOTE: "I told coach, wherever you put me on the field, I'm always going to try to help the team win." Richardson on July 12, 2010. HONORS: 2009: Team Hustle Award; 2010 Defensive Player of the Week vs. Tennessee. CAREER STATS: Tackles: 252Tackles for loss (solo): 14Tackles for loss (assist): 6Sacks (solo): 3 Sacks (assist): 1Interceptions: 1Pass breakups: 10Forced fumbles: 1QB hurries: 4Touchdowns: 1
