NASA ISS On-Orbit Status 16 June 2011

FE-4 Volkov terminated his first experiment session, started last night, for the long-term Russian sleep study MBI-12/Sonokard, taking the recording device from his Sonokard sports shirt pocket and later copying the measurements to the RSE-Med laptop for subsequent downlink to the ground. [Sonokard objectives are stated to (1) study the feasibility of obtaining the maximum of data through computer processing of records obtained overnight, (2) systematically record the crewmember's physiological functions during sleep, (3) study the feasibility of obtaining real-time crew health data. Investigators believe that contactless acquisition of cardiorespiratory data over the night period could serve as a basis for developing efficient criteria for evaluating and predicting adaptive capability of human body in long-duration space flight.] After wakeup, CDR Borisenko conducted the routine verification of yesterday's automatic refresh of the IUS AntiVirus program on the Russian VKS auxiliary network laptops RSS1, RSS2, RSK1-T61p & RSK2. [Regularly on Mondays (except this time), automatic virus definition file updates are verified on the RSS2, RSS1, RSK1-T61p & RSK2 network laptops, while the non-networked laptops RSE-Med & RSE1 are manually updated. Antivirus scans are then started & monitored on RSS2 & RSE-Med. Results of the scans on RSS1, RSK1-T61p, RSK2 & RSE1 are verified on Tuesdays. Russian network laptops have software installed for automatic anti-virus update; fresh data is copied on RSK1-T61p & RRSK2 every time a computer is rebooted with a special login, and on RSS1 once daily. On Russian non-network laptops antivirus definition file update is done by the crew once every two weeks on Monday.] FE-3 Garan initiated another sampling run with the EHS GC/DMS (Environmental Health Systems Gas Chromatograph / Differential Mobility Spectrometer) and deactivated the system ~5 hrs later. [This was the 37th session with the replaced GC/DMS unit #1004, after the previous instrument (#1002) was used for approximately 7 runs. Also known as AQM (Air Quality Monitor), the system is controlled with "Sionex" expert software from the SSC (Station Support Computer)-12 laptop (due to a software glitch, the software needs to be opened, closed, and then reopened in order to ensure good communication between GC/DMS and SSC-12). The AQM demonstrates COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) technology for identifying volatile organic compounds, similar to the VOA (Volatile Organics Analyzer).

How to Troubleshoot a Sony Camcorder ~ whitecyber blogs

Troubleshooting your camcorder is a process of checking the little things you might have overlooked, and can entail simple solutions of whatever problem is keeping your camcorder from operating as it should. These solutions can vary based on the equipment your camcorder uses for recording--like a hard-disk drive, DVD, Mini DV cassettes or flash memory stick--but the basics will remain the same. If your camcorder will not turn on, first check to see if the battery is fully charged. Put it on the charger and plug it in; there should be an indicator on the charger to show if the battery is charged or needs charging. If it needs charging, leave it on the charger until it's done. Reinstall the battery, turn on the camcorder and see if it powers up. If the battery runs down quickly, recognize that it may not be fully charged. Also, using it in a cold environment can make the battery run out faster. Or the battery may just be worn out, and you may need to buy a new one. If none of these solve the problem, find and press the "Reset" button (the location may vary by model; check your owner's manual) and see if it powers up after that. If your model uses a DVD, know that you may have turned it off while the disk was still finalizing. Turn it back on and let it finalize before removing. If your model uses a cassette, press "Stop" to make sure it's not still recording. If the cassette will partially come out, check to see if the tape itself has gotten stuck in the heads. If so, use a pen or similar object to carefully remove it. Make sure there is enough free space to record in whichever mode your model uses. If it's a cassette, make sure the safety switch on the tape isn't on, and if it's a memory stick, make sure the write-protect tab is off. If it's a disk, make sure it's a recordable one and not one that has been previously finalized, or reformat the disk and try again. If playback is distorted, press "Stop" and and then "Play" again. If it's a DVD, make sure the disk is clean. If it's a cassette, you may want to clean the heads. If you hear no audio during playback, make sure the volume is turned up. If you're attempting to play it back on a TV, make sure the cables are connected correctly and that the TV is set to the correct input.
