Dvory nad Žitavou

Dvory nad Žitavou (Hungarian: Udvard) is a municipality and village in the Nové Zámky District in the Nitra Region of south-west Slovakia.

History

The first written sign of the municipality is from 1075. It mentions the Latin name of the municipality - Villa Hudvordensium super aquam Sitou - which means the settlement of masters (peasants) above the river Žitava.

The first settlers were the established Pečang-s. The place now known as Udvard was generated from merging 4 settlements Hudvord, Huba, Pazman and Vadkert. Udvard got a license from the king to collect duty on the river crossing and later on the bridge. In 1248 one German knight Resser got a piece of the Udvardian estate as a gift. Later in 1256 another German knight Sebret a Sefrid de Medek got the right of collecting duty on the Žitava river. After the knights left, these estates and rights were given to the Estergomian archbishop. The estates given to Garamsaintbenedict-abbey were a conflict-point between the abbot and the archbishop. The estate was thereafter held by the Estergomian archbishop, who held an earth-master

In 1228 the Udvardian masters/peasants organized an insurgency, because of the unbearable taxes that the abbey took from them. This was the first villein-insurgency in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Udvard got his name after the masters who were serving in the royal chateau. In the medieval and later ages, Udvard was a place where many significant events took place. 1309 is a very important date because a synod with the Estergomian archbishop as leader took place in the royal chateau on the top of Saint-Martin hillock. At this synod, they legitimated the ruling role of Charles Robert from the dynasty of Anjou's, and they made a decision about the punishment of intemperate criminals who belonged to Čák Mathias (Čák Matúš) and about his own silencing. They prescribed, beside the compulsory morning and afternoon bell-ringing, the evening runging simultaneously with the Angelus prayer. This spread across the district and remains a living tradition.


Dvory nad Žitavou

On October 2, 1429, the Hungarian king and the Roman emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg nominated Udvard as a city with the name-Fairground town Big Udvard. In 1462 the Udvard-district was created with Udvard as its seat. In 1441 Udvard got a broadsword-law from the king. Into Udvard-district, which expanded as far as rivers Danube and Váh flowed, and included 23 settlements and 11 manors. The district dissolved in 1923. Turkish oppression brought great suffering to Udvard. Early in 1530, Turkish armies attacked the city. These attacks repeated with destruction, robbery, killing and deportation until 1533. In 1550 the city suffered another attack, and from 1572 to 1685 August the city was under Turkish occupation. Udvard was one of many cities and towns that were mostly or fully victims of the Turkish destruction.

After the expulsion of the Turkish armies, part of the population returned to Udvard, the other part of the population, new settlers, came from northern Germany.

In 1771 the parish was handed over, and became the municipality's oldest building. In 1776 they completed the Roman Catholic church, in baroque style. It was demolished by Turkish troops. The church became a cultural monument. In the 19th century, Udvard started prospering. On December 16, 1850 the first train passed through Udvard on the new track from Bratislava to Budapest. In 1860 they sanctified the well-known Calvary, which was initiated and organized by Adolf Majthényi. When World War I ended, after the Austro-Hungarian monarchy collapsed and after the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Udvard became part of the newly established Czechoslovakia. According to the First Vienna Award on November 8, 1938, Udvard was attached to Hungary. This condition lasted until March 29, 1945, when Udvard again became part of Czechoslovakia.

Demographics

According to the 2011 census, the municipality had 5,164 inhabitants. 3,208 Hungarians, 1,550 Slovaks, 36 Roma, 10 Czechs and 360 others and unspecified.

Arcade controller

An official controller for the Sega Dreamcast, modeled after arcade cabinet controls.

An arcade controller is a collective set of input devices designed primarily for use in an arcade cabinet. A typical control set consists of a joystick and a number of push-buttons. Less common setups include devices such as trackballs or steering wheels. These devices are generally produced under the assumption that they will be used in commercial settings, such as in video arcades, where they may be heavily or roughly used. Durability is one of the distinguishing characteristics of "authentic" arcade parts when compared with numerous, low-cost arcade imitations designed for private use in the home.

Joystick design

A typical joystick is a digital input device that registers movement according to the range of motion that it is designed to detect. Most modern joysticks have an 8-way configuration, allowing for movement in the cardinal directions and the diagonals. There also exist common "analog" sticks that in actuality are implemented as 49-way digital, with incremental degrees of movement in each direction. Many vintage arcade games use a 4-way or even 2-way stick rather than an 8-way stick, which can cause compatibility problems that may be mitigated by the use of an appropriate restrictor gate.

Joystick types

The three most common arcade joystick types are the ball top, bat top, 4 button layout, and a keyboard WASD type. In Korea, the bat top is by far the most common with the ball top style being most common in Japan. If the ball and bat top is uncomfortable, The 4 button layout and keyboard WASD are always available. This kind of format is most common in Hitbox arcade sticks. The type of joystick is a matter of personal preference and comfort, as different types of grips, and angles, and button types are vastly available.

Restrictor gates


Arcade controller

Restrictor gates

A restrictor gate limits the joystick's range of motion. The most common reason to use a gate in an actual arcade setting is the retrofitting of an older machine that is not compatible with a new 8-way stick. A classic example of this is Pac-Man. The game was originally designed for a 4-way stick, and is programmed to respond only when a new input occurs. If the user is holding the stick in the down position, then suddenly makes a motion to move to the right, what often happens is that the stick first moves into the down-right diagonal, which the game does not recognize as new input since down is still being held. However, right is also now considered held, and when the user completes the motion to move right, it is also not a new input, and Pac-Man will still be moving down.

In cases such as the above, a typical solution is to use a square (diamond) or clover-shaped restrictor, which prevents the stick from entering the diagonals.

For home arcade controllers, the most common restrictor gate used in modding is the octagonal gate. This is because most mid-grade and higher controllers use Japanese-style sticks with a traditional square gate—which is chosen because it has an equal area of throw for each direction. However, because of the sharp corners, the stick can get stuck in the diagonals if the player is unaccustomed to using a square gate. The octagonal gate allows for continuous motion along the edges using inertia, more similar to the circular motion of American sticks. In a fighting game many 360 degree motion special moves are usually executed easier with an octagonal gate while charge characters and characters which utilize many directional based moves will benefit more from a stick with a square gate.

Japanese style

Traditionally, there has been a divide between "American-style" (associated with the manufacturer Happ) and "Japanese-style" (common to Sanwa and Seimitsu) designs. American joysticks are generally made from hard plastic, with a tall, thick shaft shaped like a baseball bat (bat-top). Common grips for this type of stick utilize 4-5 fingers for pull and push, but all involve grabbing the stick from the side. The stick has a high resistance due to the amount of leverage that it gives to the user. American buttons have a long stroke, which is associated with a clicking action (which also adds to resistance) to let the player know when the switch has been activated. The buttons are generally concave and designed to be pressed with one or two fingers.

Japanese joysticks have a large spherical ball (ball-top) positioned at the top of a short, thin metal shaft. In contrast to the bat-top, a ball-top grip can be reasonably approached from almost any direction—the side, above, or below, and with different placements of the fingers, according to preference. This gives the stick more flexibility towards a general audience, however the ball itself may be considered awkward to hold. Also, because of the shaft's low mounting height, users with large hands may find the setup to be uncomfortable and constricting. Because of the shorter shaft and lighter grips used with this type of stick, resistance is relatively low. Japanese button design is based on requiring less effort from the player to press, and as such they have short strokes and very little resistance. They do not click as there is usually no question as to whether the button has been pressed, however this also means that players may find them too sensitive, and resting fingers on buttons requires more care.

In recent years, with the decline of arcades in the West, some popular Japanese arcade games are no longer considered profitable enough to be worth localizing and producing domestically even though they are eventually ported to home consoles. Because these games rely on newer, often proprietary hardware such as HD flat-screen monitors, entire cabinets for these games must be imported from Japan. It is therefore becoming more common to see cabinets with Japanese-style controls in American arcades.

The NES Advantage, one of the earliest arcade imitations for a home console

The Neo Geo AES is the only console to include an arcade-style controller as the pack-in controller.

Prior to the 2000s, it was generally accepted that most home consoles were not powerful enough to accurately replicate arcade games (such games are known as being "arcade-perfect"). As such, there was correspondingly little effort to bring arcade-quality controls into the home. Though many imitation arcade controllers were produced for various consoles and the PC, most were designed for affordability and few were able to deliver the responsiveness or feel of a genuine arcade setup.

Nevertheless, as early as 1990, SNK released the home version of its arcade Neo-Geo MVS system, called the Neo-Geo AES, which featured the exact (except for coin-op configuration possibilities unavailable on home console) same games on the AES (home console) as on the MVS (arcade system). SNK only made one type of arcade stick and no gamepad for this console. SNK's AES sturdy joystick was considered by many as the best arcade stick ever to be found on a 2D console at the time. The company Exar recently offered a revised reissue with extra buttons called "Neo Geo Stick 2" (as well as "2+" and "3" versions) for the PS&PS2 in Japan in 2005,


Arcade controller

In the 2000s, especially outside Japan, arcade attendance decreased as more gamers migrated to increasingly powerful home consoles. In 1994, the Neo-Geo CD was the first CD console to translate arcade games on home systems in an upgraded version, the soundtracks being rendered in CD quality, the games besides this were similar to AES/MVS versions. It was available with a new D-pad arcade stick hybrid, and was compatible with the older AES arcade sticks as well. Although the Neo-Geo CD was able only to offer 2D games, in 1998, the Dreamcast was the first console to deliver at once 3D games and near-perfect arcade translations, thanks mostly to the similarity in hardware between it and Sega's NAOMI arcade system. Interest in bringing home the arcade experience grew steadily throughout the decade, with fighting game enthusiasts building their own controllers using parts from arcade manufacturers such as Sanwa Denshi, Happ, and Seimitsu. At the same time, the PC became increasingly competent as an arcade emulator with software such as MAME, and enthusiasts have built entire faux arcade cabinets to bring the total experience home. Arcade style controllers such as the X-Arcade provided more authentic controls for such setups.

Towards the end of the decade, the popularity of the game Street Fighter IV was credited for reviving interest in playing fighting games at the arcade, and for stimulating demand for arcade-quality controllers when the game was ported to home consoles. In a licensing deal for the home version of SF IV, Mad Catz produced the Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition, the first commercially available console stick in North America to include genuine (Sanwa) arcade parts.


14th Place station

14th Place was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s Douglas Park branch between 1896 and 1951. Constructed by the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, it was one of the first stations opened on the branch in April 1896.

History

The Douglas Park branch opened on April 28, 1896, significantly later than the other branches of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad. One of its stations was located on 14th Place.

Douglas service was significantly streamlined on December 9, 1951, part of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)'s broader overhaul of the Metropolitan's lines. Skip-stop was instituted on the Douglas and Garfield branches, and several low-performing stations on the Douglas branch were closed, including 14th Place.

Accidents and incidents

On the night of March 13, 1897, two men attempted to kill Thomas H. Tyrrell, the station agent at 14th Place.powder burned. This incident was thought to be retaliation for an incident two days prior, in which one of the assailants demanded money from Tyrrell but fled when Tyrrell produced a revolver.

Station details

Design and infrastructure

The 14th Place station was similar to other stations on the Douglas branch, with a brick Craftsman-style station house at street level. It had two wooden side platforms with cast-iron canopies with hipped roofs of corrugated, in common with the other stations on the Metropolitan's lines.

Ridership

Ridership at 14th Place peaked at 467,877 passengers in 1907, a year that also saw the peak of every stations' ridership between 12th and Hoyne, inclusive.

In its last full year of operation, 1950, 14th Place served 57,484 riders,Central Park, which opened on December 9 alongside the station's closure,Kenton, which had no direct street access and served a railway instead of an actual street.

Hana Mandlíková was seeded second, higher than her then current ranking of 5th at the start of the championship, due to her victories in the previous two grand slam singles events in Australia and France. Although perfectly within their remit and rights to alter the seedings from the rankings as they saw fit, the All England Club were petitioned by the WTA, which complained about the arrangement.

Camlough Rovers F.C.

Camlough Rovers Football Club is a junior-level football club situated in Newry, County Armagh and playing in the Carnbane League. The club was founded in 1980 and are known for wearing the traditional colours of Green and white. Camlough Rovers secured the Intermediate B title and promotion to Intermediate A in 2010-11 winning the league by a narrow margin of one single point, this was achieved in Gary Quinn's first season as first team manager. In the following season Camlough's first year in Intermediate A, was definitely one to remember, winning it in their first season after being promoted from Intermediate B. Camlough Rovers first played in Northern Ireland's biggest cup competition the JJB Irish Cup (now known as the Tennent's Irish Cup) on Saturday 18 September 2010 against Lurgan Town Boys (now known as Lurgan Town FC) Camlough Rovers won the game 5–2 with goals from S. Hughes x3, D. Monaghan and M. McCormack making it a debut win to the competition, and followed this win with a brilliant performance in the second round, overcoming Barn United FC beating them 2–0, with goals from S. Kane and D. Monaghan. In 2019 the club dropped from intermediate into junior football. During its time as an intermediate club, it played in the Irish Cup.

As well as the first team, the club also field numerous youth teams from ages of 6-17, and also a senior reserve team who compete in the Lonsdale League.

2011–12

The season 2011-12 Gary Quinn managed his side to one of the club's most successful years winning the Mid-Ulster Football League Intermediate A in their debut season giving them back-to-back league titles after being promoted from Intermediate B by topping the table by one single point.

Camlp4

Camlp4 is a software system for writing extensible parsers for programming languages. It provides a set of OCaml libraries that are used to define grammars as well as loadable syntax extensions of such grammars. Camlp4 stands for Caml Preprocessor and Pretty-Printer and one of its most important applications was the definition of domain-specific extensions of the syntax of OCaml.

Camlp4 was part of the official OCaml distribution which is developed at the INRIA. Its original author is Daniel de Rauglaudre. OCaml version 3.10.0, released in May 2007, introduced a significantly modified and backward-incompatible version of Camlp4. De Rauglaudre maintains a separate backward-compatible version, which has been renamed Camlp5. All of the examples below are for Camlp5 or the previous version of Camlp4 (versions 3.09 and prior).

Version 4.08, released in the summer of 2019,

Concrete and abstract syntax

A Camlp4 preprocessor operates by loading a collection of compiled modules which define a parser as well as a pretty-printer: the parser converts an input program into an internal representation. This internal representation constitutes the abstract syntax tree (AST). It can be output in a binary form, e.g. it can be passed directly to one of the OCaml compilers, or it can be converted back into a clear text program. The notion of concrete syntax refers to the format in which the abstract syntax is represented.

For instance, the OCaml expression (1 + 2) can also be written ((+) 1 2) or (((+) 1) 2). The difference is only at the level of the concrete syntax, since these three versions are equivalent representations of the same abstract syntax tree. As demonstrated by the definition of a revised syntax for OCaml, the same programming language can use different concrete syntaxes. They would all converge to an abstract syntax tree in a unique format that a compiler can handle.


Camlp4

The abstract syntax tree is at the center of the syntax extensions, which are in fact OCaml programs. Although the definition of grammars must be done in OCaml, the parser that is being defined or extended is not necessarily related to OCaml, in which case the syntax tree that is being manipulated is not the one of OCaml. Several libraries are provided which facilitate the specific manipulation of OCaml syntax trees.

Fields of application

Domain-specific languages are a major application of Camlp4. Since OCaml is a multi-paradigm language, with an interactive toplevel and a native code compiler, it can be used as a backend for any kind of original language. The only thing that the developer has to do is write a Camlp4 grammar which converts the domain-specific language in question into a regular OCaml program. Other target languages can also be used, such as C.

If the target language is OCaml, simple syntax add-ons or syntactic sugar can be defined, in order to provide an expressivity which is not easy to achieve using the standard features of the OCaml language. A syntax extension is defined by a compiled OCaml module, which is passed to the camlp4o executable along with the program to process.

Camlp4 includes a domain-specific language as it provides syntax extensions which ease the development of syntax extensions. These extensions allow a compact definition of grammars (EXTEND statements) and quotations such as <:expr< 1 + 1 >>, i.e. deconstructing and constructing abstract syntax trees in concrete syntax.

Example

The following example defines a syntax extension of OCaml. It provides a new keyword, memo, which can be used as a replacement for function and provides automatic memoization of functions with pattern matching. Memoization consists in storing the results of previous computations in a table so that the actual computation of the function for each possible argument occurs at most once.

This is pa_memo.ml, the file which defines the syntax extension:

let unique =
  let n = ref 0 in
  fun () -> incr n; "__pa_memo" ^ string_of_int !n

EXTEND
  GLOBAL: Pcaml.expr;


Camlp4

EXTEND
  GLOBAL: Pcaml.expr;

  Pcaml.expr: LEVEL "expr1" [
    [ "memo"; OPT "|"; pel = LIST1 match_case SEP "|" ->
      let tbl = unique () in
      let x = unique () in
      let result = unique () in
      <:expr<
      let $lid:tbl$ = Hashtbl.create 100 in
      fun $lid:x$ ->
        try Hashtbl.find $lid:tbl$ $lid:x$
        with [ Not_found ->
                let $lid:result$ = match $lid:x$ with [ $list:pel$ ] in
                do { Hashtbl.replace $lid:tbl$ $lid:x$ $lid:result$;
                     $lid:result$ } ]
      >> ]
  ];

  match_case: [
    [ p = Pcaml.patt; w = OPT [ "when"; e = Pcaml.expr -> e ];
      "->"; e = Pcaml.expr ->
       (p, w, e) ]
  ];
END

Example of program using this syntax extension:

let counter = ref 0 (* global counter of multiplications *)

(* factorial with memoization *)
let rec fac = memo
    0 -> 1
  | n when n > 0 ->
      (incr counter;
       n * fac (n - 1))
  | _ -> invalid_arg "fac"

let run n =
  let result = fac n in
  let count = !counter in
  Printf.printf "%i! = %i     number of multiplications so far = %i\n"
    n result count

let _ =
  List.iter run [5; 4; 6]

The output of the program is as follows, showing that the fac function (factorial) only computes products that were not computed previously:


Camlp4

5! = 120     number of multiplications so far = 5
4! = 24     number of multiplications so far = 5
6! = 720     number of multiplications so far = 6

A camlock or cam-lock is an interchangeable electrical connector, often used in temporary electrical power production and distribution, predominantly in North America.trade name as Cam-Lok, it is now a generic term.phase, pole, or conductor; multiple camlock connectors will be used to make a complete electrical supply or circuit.

The most common form is the 16 series, rated at 400 amperes with 105 °C terminations. Also in common use is the 15 series (mini-cam), rated at 150 amperes. A larger version is made denoted as the 17 series with ratings up to 760 A. A ball nose version and a longer nose standard version exist—the latter is the most common. The early version original connector was hot-vulcanized to the cable body; later versions use dimensional pressure to exclude foreign material from the connector pin area. The tail of the connector insulator body is trimmable to fit the cable outer diameter.

Another version is the Posi-Lok, which features keyed, shrouded connectors, and panels with sequencing interlocks.

Camlock is generally used where temporary connections of 3-phase and/or more than 50 A are needed. Applications include connecting large temporary generators or load banks to distribution panels or building disconnects. Common scenarios include testing, emergencies, temporary special events, and traveling stage shows with large lighting and sound equipment. They are usually found only in professional environments, where connections are performed by qualified personnel.

Color codes

See also: Three-phase electric power § Color codes

Standards and industry conventions for phase and voltage exist, but may vary in practice, particularly when international companies and traveling productions are involved.

North America

The National Electric Code (NEC) only specifies colors for ground and neutral: Green for the equipment grounding (safety) conductor (NEC Article 250.119), and white or grey for the neutral (grounded) conductor (NEC Article 200.6). These colors may not be used for any other purpose, nor may their purpose use a different color. No other colors are specified by the NEC for general power distribution.

Nonetheless, the following conventions exist:

United Kingdom

The UK system has two established camlock colour codes. The old and new colour codes are not compatible: Black was originally used to indicate neutral, and is now a phase colour; blue was used to denote a phase, and is now used to denote neutral. As the use of camlocks in the UK has been declining, it is very unlikely to find any matching the new colour codes.
