1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a variable venturi carburetor for an engine in which the cross-sectional area of venturi portion automatically changes according to the amount of intake air to keep the vacuum generated at the venturi portion at a constant level, regardless of the amount of intake air, the carburetor of this type being called a constant vacuum carburetor. Further, in the carburetor of this type, the metering jet portion of fuel also automatically changes according to the amount of intake air to supply the mixture of a predetermined air-to-fuel ratio.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Variable venturi carburetors or constant vacuum carburetors are well known. The variable venturi carburetor is usually attached to an intake passage on the upstream side from a throttle valve. The venturi portion thereof is formed between a fixed venturi portion and a movable venturi portion. The fixed venturi portion includes a nozzle body having a nozzle portion at one end thereof, the nozzle body being connected to a float chamber to supply fuel from the float chamber to the intake passage. The movable venturi portion includes a suction cylinder, a suction piston the inner space of which is partitioned into an atmospheric pressure chamber and a vacuum chamber, and a suction spring.
The suction piston serving as the movable venturi portion moves toward or away from the fixed venturi portion, in dependence upon the force balance determined by pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure chamber and vacuum chamber, the urging force of the suction spring, and the weight of the suction piston, so that the cross-sectional area of the venturi portion changes according to the amount of intake air to keep vacuum at a constant level at the venturi portion. Further, at the center of the lower end surface of the suction piston, a tapered jet needle is fixed so as to pass through a central hole formed in the needle body. Therefore, when the suction piston moves toward or away from the fixed venturi portion, the metering jet portion formed between the jet needle and the nozzle portion of the nozzle body varies to keep the mixture obtained at the venturi portion at a predetermined air-to-fuel ratio.
However, while the engine is being idled, since the amount of intake air is very small, the vacuum generated at the venturi is too low to sufficiently absorb fuel through the metering jet portion, even if the movable venturi portion moves at its lowermost position. To overcome this problem, the prior-art variable venturi carburetor is usually combined with an additional fixed venturi carburetor including a main nozzle, a low-speed jet, a by-pass pilot fuel supply passage, and a low-speed air passage. Accordingly, there exist problems in that the structure is complicated and further it is rather difficult to obtain a stable mixture of a predetermined air-to-fuel ratio while the engine is being idled or to smoothly increase the amount of fuel according to the increase in the amount of intake air when engine load increases gradually from engine idling condition.
A more detailed description of the prior-art variable venturi carburetor will be made with reference to the attached drawings under DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT.

Lesson: Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time

Introduction:
Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time, usually separated by one hour. Daylight saving time is a change in the standard time, usually by moving the clock forward one hour during the warmer months. In this lesson, we will learn about time zones and daylight saving time.

Section 1: Time Zones

Theory: There are 24 time zones around the world, each spaced 15 degrees apart. This means that for every 15 degrees of longitude, there is one hour difference in time.

Practice: Let's say you live in New York City, which is in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. If it is 12 pm in New York, what time would it be in Los Angeles, which is in the Pacific Standard Time Zone?
Answer: It would be 9 am in Los Angeles.

Section 2: Daylight Saving Time

Theory: Daylight saving time was first introduced during World War I to save energy and resources. It was later adopted by many countries as a way to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer.

Practice: How does daylight saving time work?
Answer: During daylight saving time, the clock is moved forward one hour in the spring and then moved back one hour in the fall. This means that in the summer, evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.

Section 3: Changing Clocks for Daylight Saving Time

Theory: Changing the clocks for daylight saving time can be a bit confusing. Some people find it easy to remember, while others struggle with keeping track of when to change their clocks.

Practice: How do you know when to change your clock for daylight saving time?
Answer: In most places, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. You can set your clock forward one hour on the day when daylight saving time starts and back one hour on the day when daylight saving time ends.

Conclusion: Understanding time zones and daylight saving time is important for traveling and staying connected with people around the world. By learning about these concepts, we can better navigate our busy lives and make the most of the time we have.

Glossary:
- Time zone: A region of the Earth that has the same standard time.
- Daylight saving time: A change in the standard time, usually by moving the clock forward one hour during the warmer months.
- Longitude: The distance of a place east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees.
- Standard time: The mean solar time of a given location, usually separated by one hour.

By TODD RICHMOND, Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican lawmakers finished their drive Tuesday to make Wisconsin the latest state to call for a convention of states to add a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution, driving a resolution demanding the meeting through the Senate despite Democrats' warnings that they could destroy the document.

The Assembly adopted the resolution in June. The Senate's approval solidified the resolution as the state's official position. Resolutions don't need the governor's signature, but Republican Gov. Scott Walker tweeted Tuesday that he supports the call for a convention.

Article V of the U.S. Constitution creates two paths for amending the document. Congress can refer an amendment to the states by a two-thirds vote of each chamber or two-thirds of state Legislatures — 34 states — can request that Congress call a convention of the states. Both methods require at least 38 states to ratify an amendment before it can take effect. Wisconsin is the now the 28th state to call for the gathering.

Republicans insist a balanced budget amendment is needed to rein in federal spending. The national debt stood at $20.24 trillion in September, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

The convention process has never been used to amend the Constitution. Democrats and other opponents fear a convention could become a free-for-all, leading to far-ranging revisions that could drastically reshape the nation's founding document.

Convention advocates counter that the states would never ratify anything coming out of a runaway convention.

Still, Wisconsin Republicans have tried to assuage those fears by drawing up another resolution. That language would require the state's convention delegation to abide by rules drafted by the Assembly of State Legislatures in 2016. The rules require amendment proposals to pertain to the subject for which the states called the proceeding.

Republicans also crafted a separate bill prohibiting Wisconsin delegates from working on anything outside the convention's scope.

The Senate passed both resolutions and the bill on 19-14 votes.

About a dozen protesters gathered outside the Senate chambers before the floor session began holding signs that read "Hands off the Constitution! Vote no!" and "No constitutional convention." Two protesters wore Revolutionary War-era knickers and wigs.

Debate stretched on for two-and-a-half hours in the chamber. Democrats questioned why Republicans can't balance the budget since they control Congress and the White House. They also complained the nation is too angry and divided right now to change the constitution.

Sen. Fred Risser said the convention might craft amendments outlawing abortion. Sen. Jon Erpenbach said delegates might outlaw the media and strip rights from women and minorities.

GOP Sen. David Craig said the Democrats' fears were ridiculous.

"There's been a lot of cynical rhetoric from the other side," he said. "What I haven't heard is an admission our country has a debt problem."

"Yes, we have a terrible debt problem," shot back Risser. "Why don't you solve it? You've got the power. You've got the control."

Lesson: Balanced Budget Amendment

Introduction:

A balanced budget amendment is a proposal to change the United States Constitution to require that the federal government's annual budget be balanced. This means that the government would not be allowed to spend more money than it takes in during a given year. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of a balanced budget amendment, its pros and cons, and its potential impact on the economy.

Section 1: What is a Balanced Budget Amendment?

A balanced budget amendment is a proposed addition to the United States Constitution that would require the federal government to balance its budget every year. This means that the government would not be allowed to spend more money than it takes in during a given year. The amendment is supported by those who believe that the federal government should live within its means and not run up large deficits.

Section 2: Pros and Cons of a Balanced Budget Amendment

Pros:
- A balanced budget amendment would force the government to live within its means, just like households and businesses do.
- It would prevent the government from running up large deficits, which could lead to inflation and economic instability.
- It would encourage fiscal discipline and restraint, which could lead to a more efficient and effective government.

Cons:
- Opponents argue that the amendment would tie the hands of future generations by limiting their ability to invest in infrastructure, education, and other long-term projects.
- They also argue that it would be difficult to implement, as it would require significant cuts in spending or increases in taxes.
- Some economists believe that a balanced budget amendment could actually harm the economy during times of recession, when the government needs to increase spending to stimulate growth.

Section 3: Potential Impact on the Economy

The potential impact of a balanced budget amendment on the economy is a subject of debate. Supporters argue that it would promote fiscal discipline and prevent the government from overspending, which could lead to inflation and economic instability. They also argue that it would encourage the government to prioritize spending on essential programs and services, rather than engaging in wasteful spending.

Opponents argue that a balanced budget amendment could harm the economy by limiting the government's ability to invest in infrastructure, education, and other long-term projects that are necessary for economic growth. They also argue that it could lead to significant cuts in social programs, such as Social Security and Medicare, which could hurt the most vulnerable members of society.

Section 4: Self-Debating Discussion

Discussion:
- Should the government be allowed to run deficits during times of recession, or should it always balance its budget?
- How would a balanced budget amendment affect the government's ability to invest in infrastructure and other long-term projects?
- Would a balanced budget amendment promote fiscal discipline, or would it simply lead to significant cuts in social programs?

Conclusion:

In conclusion, a balanced budget amendment is a complex and controversial issue that has the potential to significantly impact the economy. While supporters argue that it would promote fiscal discipline and prevent the government from overspending, opponents argue that it could harm the economy by limiting the government's ability to invest in essential programs and services. Ultimately, the decision to support or oppose a balanced budget amendment is a personal one that depends on one's beliefs about government spending, fiscal discipline, and economic policy.

text: Robotic life forms having lifelike characteristics have been introduced and enjoyed around the world. For example, a baby dinosaur sold under the trademark PLEO is a robotic pet that has experienced significant commercial success and is an interesting and enjoyable companion. However, a truly lovable and interesting pet companion capable of replicating the response of a live creature in the numerous aspects of life-like responses to its environment and its master or mistress may have limited capabilities. If, for example, the robot is limited in its ability to respond to a voice command, a touch sensor or an external condition and produce the desired, life-like response, it is less desirable as a life form or pet. A response should reflect the degree of stimulus, such as petting in contrast to a hit, and respond with a corresponding animation. However, if the database of pre-animated legal motions is limited, the action and character of the robotic device is likewise limited.

text: Abstract: Now Days all people have more concentration about security about data when sending data on the network. Hence new concept is invented, Data hiding in Encrypted video is invented. Data hiding in video preferred encryption algorithm using secrete key because it maintains the originality of the transmitted data at the at the receiver end after decryption. In this way data hide in encrypted video preserve the confidentiality of the content. The data hider may add the additional data in the encrypted video without knowing the original video content. In other hand decryption level the two schemes is available for getting the data first scheme is get the data then decrypt the video and second one is first decrypt the video then get the data..

Lesson: Introduction to Data Hiding in Encrypted Video

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about data hiding in encrypted video. Data hiding refers to the process of embedding secret information into a video file without changing its original format or quality. This is done using encryption algorithms that scramble the data so that only authorized users can access it.

Data hiding in encrypted video is preferred over unencrypted data hiding because it preserves the confidentiality of the content. This means that even if someone intercepts the video file, they won't be able to read the hidden information without the decryption key.

There are two main ways to hide data in an encrypted video:

1. Encapsulation: This involves adding the additional data to the video file without altering its original format or quality. The encapsulated data is then encrypted using a secure encryption algorithm.

2. Feature extraction: This involves extracting certain features from the video file, such as its color histogram or motion vectors. These features are then encrypted using a secure encryption algorithm, and the hidden data is added to the extracted features.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Encapsulation is simpler and faster, but it may not be as secure as feature extraction. Feature extraction is more complex and time-consuming, but it provides better protection against unauthorized access.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of data hiding in encrypted video. Suppose you want to send a confidential message to your friend using a video file. You could use data hiding to embed the message into the video file without anyone knowing it's there.

First, you would need to encrypt the video file using a secure encryption algorithm. Once the video is encrypted, you can add the message to the file using either encapsulation or feature extraction.

If you use encapsulation, you would simply add the message to the beginning or end of the video file. If you use feature extraction, you would extract certain features from the video (such as its color histogram), add the message to these features, and then re-encode the video with the modified features.

Once the video is encrypted and the message is hidden, you can send it to your friend. They will need the decryption key to access the message, which ensures that only authorized users can view it.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of encapsulation versus feature extraction for data hiding in encrypted video?

Advantages of encapsulation include simplicity and speed, while disadvantages include potentially lower security. Advantages of feature extraction include higher security, while disadvantages include complexity and time-consumption.

2. Why is data hiding in encrypted video preferred over unencrypted data hiding?

Data hiding in encrypted video is preferred because it preserves the confidentiality of the content. Even if someone intercepts the video file, they won't be able to read the hidden information without the decryption key.

3. What is the difference between encryption and decryption?

Encryption refers to the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext, while decryption refers to the process of converting ciphertext back into plaintext. Encryption is used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, while decryption is used to access the hidden information.

## Glossary

- Data hiding: The process of embedding secret information into a video file without changing its original format or quality.
- Encapsulation: Adding the additional data to the video file without altering its original format or quality.
- Feature extraction: Extracting certain features from the video file, such as its color histogram or motion vectors.
- Encryption: Converting plaintext into ciphertext to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
- Decryption: Converting ciphertext back into plaintext to access the hidden information.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about data hiding in encrypted video and the advantages and disadvantages of encapsulation versus feature extraction. We also explored practical examples of how data hiding works and engaged in self-debating discussions about the topic. By understanding the principles behind data hiding in encrypted video, we can apply these skills to new problems and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

- There are two types of machine learning: supervised and unsupervised. Supervised learning involves training a model on labeled data, while unsupervised learning involves finding patterns in unlabeled data.
- A common approach to building a machine learning model is to use a dataset to train the model, validate the model's accuracy, and then test the model on new data.

Section 2: Practical Examples
- We will use a dataset of emails labeled as spam or not spam to build our machine learning model.
- We will use Python and the scikit-learn library to preprocess the data, split it into training and testing sets, and train the model.
- We will use the trained model to make predictions on new emails.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
- Machine learning has many applications in fields such as finance, healthcare, and marketing.
- For example, a machine learning model could be used to predict whether a customer is likely to buy a product based on their browsing history.
- Another example is using machine learning to diagnose diseases based on patient symptoms.

Glossary:
- Machine learning: a subset of artificial intelligence that involves training machines to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.
- Supervised learning: a type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data.
- Unsupervised learning: a type of machine learning where the model is trained on unlabeled data.
- Scikit-learn: a Python library for machine learning.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we built a simple machine learning model in Python to predict whether an email is spam or not. We learned about the basics of machine learning, how it can be applied to solve real-world problems, and some practical examples and real-world scenarios. By understanding the core value of this lesson, students can apply these skills to build more complex models and solve more complex problems.

text: Despite being based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, we tend to play a lot of shows in Iowa. We’ve done weddings, private events, festivals, played with national touring bands… mostly because of one club. Captain’s Getaway. We’ve now played Captains well over 30 times, and it’s still our favorite place to play.. When we head to Okoboji, we always play both Friday and Saturday nights, and well, it’s a bit chaotic, to say the least. It usually takes about 4-5 days to fully recover from a Captains weekend, but we love every minute of it. Why? Check it out:

text: Personal methods to diminish pianist's hand problems (2) : Forearm support to train the small hand m. We use "mouse" supporting our hands on a table when using computer. While playing piano, why not our wrists and arms too ? A support under forearms during training now and then diminishes the needed work against gravitation. I found that it activates new muscle groups in hands. The photo presents the main idea in this training method. It is to make pianist with his/her arms and upper body in a work where unused and untrained groups of muscles with their nerves and tendons, the whole function of resting arms, fore-arms and hands, is taken along to the playing. This method trains the pianist in an important way. As a support I use here a sleeping bag. I base this idea on my own keyboard training and my development experiences. I think they can be heard on my Cd's..

Lesson Title: Using Supports for Piano Playing

Introduction: In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of using supports while playing the piano. We will also explore the benefits of using a forearm support and how it can help us activate new muscle groups in our hands.

Section 1: Why Use Supports While Playing Piano?

Topic 1: Gravity and Piano Playing
Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the ground. When we play the piano, we need to overcome the force of gravity to keep our hands and fingers in contact with the keys. Using supports like a forearm support can help us reduce the amount of work our arms and hands need to do to maintain this contact.

Topic 2: Untrained Muscle Groups
Playing the piano requires the use of specific muscle groups in our hands and arms. However, there are also other muscle groups that are not typically used during piano playing. By using a forearm support, we can activate these untrained muscle groups and improve our overall hand and finger strength.

Section 2: How to Use a Forearm Support

Topic 1: Choosing the Right Support
When choosing a forearm support, we need to consider the height and angle of the support. The support should be positioned at a comfortable height and angle that allows us to maintain a natural posture while playing.

Topic 2: Positioning the Support
Once we have chosen the right support, we need to position it correctly. The support should be placed under our forearms so that it provides support without interfering with our ability to move our fingers freely.

Section 3: Practicing with a Forearm Support

Topic 1: Benefits of Using a Forearm Support
Using a forearm support can help us improve our hand and finger strength, as well as activate untrained muscle groups. It can also help us maintain a more relaxed posture while playing the piano.

Topic 2: Practicing with a Forearm Support
To practice with a forearm support, we can start by playing simple scales and arpeggios. As we become more comfortable with the support, we can gradually increase the difficulty of the pieces we are playing.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, using a forearm support while playing the piano can provide many benefits, including improved hand and finger strength and the activation of untrained muscle groups. By incorporating a forearm support into our practice routine, we can improve our overall piano playing technique and develop a more relaxed and efficient posture.

Glossary:
- Forearm support: a device that supports the forearm while playing the piano
- Muscle groups: sets of muscles that work together to perform a specific task
- Posture: the position of the body while standing, sitting, or lying down

Self-Debate:
Is it necessary to use a forearm support while playing the piano?

Argument 1: Yes, using a forearm support can help us activate untrained muscle groups and improve our overall hand and finger strength.

Argument 2: No, practicing without a forearm support can help us develop stronger and more stable hands.

Conclusion: Ultimately, whether or not to use a forearm support is a personal decision. Some pianists may find it beneficial to use a support, while others may prefer to practice without one.
