The Play With Plague: TNA Report For 5/07/09

Welcome back everyone, to another TNA report. I’m going to start this off with addressing a comment that was made last week, other than you guys telling me I did a good job. Thanks by the way! Very Happy

I watch other wrestling first off, and TNA is my favorite. However, that won’t ever stop me from bashing people and stories that I don’t like or telling exactly what I think of the current show. If they put on a bad show, believe me, I’m going to be the one to tell you, and if they run too many promos, I’m get mad at them. That doesn’t mean I hate them. What good does it do you readers if I give a totally biased opinion of the show?
Now then, on with the show.

Preview:
Beer Money vs. Jethro Holiday & Eric Young (3-D Invitational)
Suicide vs. Consequences Creed (Non-Title Match)
Awesome Kong vs. Velvet Sky (Stretcher Match)
Main Event Mafia vs. The Frontline (10 Man War)

The show starts of in a very shocking manner, with the MEM. Kurt starts off continuing the rose metaphor from last week, and that last week he kicked Mick’s ass. What? Hmm, I remember it differently. He informs Foley that he is in the main event at Sacrifice, and then talks about the 10 Man War. Then he calls out Foley, and he tells Kurt that the match is about a show of power for the Frontline. Mick thought he was untouchable until last week, and yes, he’s still talking about his stitches. Kurt brings up that he won a Gold Medal with a broken neck. And like him or not, Kurt is a great wrestler, and it took some major balls to do that back in ‘96. Then Mick tells Kurt that he will be the Godfather after Sacrifice, and JJ and AJ come out. Foley tells Jarrett that it was never personal, only business. JJ responds as expected, and tells Foley to kiss his ass. Kurt then asks, “Can’t we all just get along?” Wow. Some great lines here. Kurt just won the John Madden award for the week.

Backstage, Samoa “Taz 2.0″ Joe gets dropped off by someone. Wonder who?

MMG & Danials promo.

Match 1: Suicide vs. Consequences Creed (Non-Title)
Ok we start of with some quick holds and counters. Suicide gains the advantage, backs him into the corner and lays some head butts and clotheslines, and then an STO takedown. And throughout the match we are forced to listen to Don West accusing Suicide of being Danials. Creed takes advantage with a swinging neck breaker. Suicide and Creed battle with jabs, then Suicide dropkicks him, and then does his rolling samoan drop. Goes for the Suicide Solution and misses, and Creed hit’s a Trouble in Paradise. Suicide takes him to corner and does a mix between Jeff Hardy’s turnbuckle dropkick and a Codebreaker. Looked sweet.

Winner: Suicide

Good fast paced match. Two weeks in a row TNA starts with a great X-Division Match.

Match Rating: 7/10

Foley Promo

The Stuttering Steroid Machine is back with Foley. What came out of this is Morgan wants to prove himself to the Mafia. Mick gives him a match against MEM Security.

We come back to Lauren and 2/3’s of the Beautiful People. Loading gun…muzzle in mouth…please don’t say something stupid. Velvet is freaking out, and Love tells her to calm down. She beat Kong, so you can too. Then Velvet said what I was thinking. Um, no you didn’t. You beat Taylor Wilde. Love says…(grr)…Wilde, Kong. Same thing. My gun just jammed. Luckily I don’t have to take a second shot, the promos over.

MEM and Tenay promo. Kurt said love way too much.

Lauren is with Wilde now, and they start talking about Wilde’s secret admirer. She has a date on Tuesday and Lauren agrees to go with her. Why this was necessary, I can’t tell you.

JB is with Jarrett in a locker room, and asks him what he’s going to do about Mick Foley. JJ asks him to leave. That was underlined because he is the OWNER of TNA. He is in a locker room? Then JB asks Jeff what happened to his office? Jeff flips and JB runs.

Match 2: MEM Security vs. Matt Morgan
Not much really happened. We just saw Morgan be dominant. We saw him choke slam big Rocko. I think Mike Tenay confused him with Kevin Nash, because they were talking about him missing time with a staph infection in his elbow. Big dropkick to Rocko and a Carbon Footprint to Sallyboy.

Winner: Matt Morgan

Match Rating: 5/10. Just for the sheer power in this match.

JB is with Mick Foley. Mick says he may need to tweak his match, and wants JB to get the word out. JB says he can twitter his tweet. Wow such a kissass. Foley goes crazy and sounds like Cactus Jack a lot. He says that Jeff’s guitar causes too many problems and he’s banning it from ringside. I’m hoping he doesn’t have a split personality angle going.

Lauren is with EY and Holliday. Nothing important. Just whining.

3-D comes out to call the Invitational match with Tenay and West. They call Beer Money the tag team of the future.

Match 3: Beer Money vs. Eric Young and Trevor Murdoch
Starts off with Roode and Young. Some holds and counters, then Roode throws EY to his corner, and Storm kicks him into the back of the head, and then Roode spine busters him. Nicely done. Tenay mentions that JR recently said that there are no really hot tag teams. Maybe in WWE, but in TNA, tag team is going strong. One more reason I love TNA. Anywho, back in the ring, Beer Money suplex to EY. Roode throws Eric into the corner, who flips over and lands on the apron, shoulder to Roode and flip over. Eric tags in Holliday, Roode tags Storm, and Holliday starts cleaning house. Roode gets him from behind, and throws him into the ropes, blind tag by Young, and a springboard double dropkick to Beer Money. He hit’s a big leg drop on Storm. Murdoch almost hits Eric, and while distracted, Storm gets up, EY turns, and…Last Call!!! Then Roode comes in and does a sick double team finisher called the D.W.I. I missed what it stood more. Can someone tell me? Anyway…

Winners: Beer Money

Really good tag match

Match Rating: 8/10

Lauren is back with Kong and Saeed. Saeed talks about the Wrath of Kong. Pause. How much is Star Trek paying TNA!?! Seriously, this is ridiculous. Not only the commercials and the plugs, now we have to go this far!!! I’ll explain, for those who don’t understand. One of the Star Trek movies was, “The Wrath of Khan”. Now…with Kong…ya anyway. Kong spoke for the first time. She said, dumb blonde. Dead blonde!!! Good mike skills.

Match 4: Velvet Sky vs. Awesome Kong

Hebner once again clears the arena. Velvet actually gets a few shots in, but then Kong takes over. Implant Buster. And another. The fans chant “One more time”, and Kong obliges again. Okay I think that’s enough. A fourth one. Come on now those look good! No no no…a fifth Implant Buster. Onto the stretcher. Thank you, no she pulls her up again. Please no, don’t break them…Awesome Bomb. Oh well. Ten count.

Winner: Awesome Kong

Match Rating: 4/10

Dr. Stevie session. Daffney is going to be in the first female Monster Ball. Abyss has to help her. Whatever.

Lethal Consequences come out, and call out Danials. Same thing as last week, they accuse him of being Suicide. C.D. tells Creed he should worry more about beating Suicide than figuring out who he is. Oooooh. Now the MMG comes out and say next week they’ll unmask Suicide.

JB is with Jarrett again. He has some notes about all the things Foley is doing. Jeff asks what can he do? Sting comes in, and wants in the main event at Sacrifice if he pins Foley tonight. They shake on it.

Lauren is with Love, and she’s calling someone to be at the Impact Zone next week.

MEM Promo.

Match 5: MEM vs. Frontline (10 Man War)
Foley comes to the ring with a Barbed-Wire Baseball Bat. No problems there.

Steiner and Joe are in the ring. Suplex to Scott, then Joe tags in Danials. Diving cross body to Scott. But he takes control, and tags in Kurt. Both do some holds and takedowns. Danials kicks Kurt and tags in AJ, who does some inverted Codebreaker. Kurt rakes the eyes and tags Booker. Suplex, flying knee, then Booker lays AJ out with a spinning kick.

Angle and AJ are now in. No now Booker’s back, with a jump kick to AJ. Steiner now comes in with some Spinning Bearhug Slam. Tag to Angle. Going for the Angle Slam, miss, PELE! Sting and Foley get tagged in, and Foley gets the advantage. Everyone starts coming in, the MEM gets thrown out by the Frontline, then cross bodies or suicide dives. Kurt, Jeff, Foley, and Sting are left. Jeff low blows Angle, and picks up Mick’s bat. Foley takes it off of him and tries to swing it at Jeff, who ducks, and low blows Mick. Jeff does the Stroke, driving Foley’s face into the bat. Sting comes in for the cover.

Winners: Main Event Mafia

Match Rating: 10/10

Sting has a mike and explains that he is in the match at Sacrifice. Then he says that if he gets pinned, he’ll retire.
Overall: Really good show. Not a lot of promos, and better matches. I love the Ultimate Sacrifice thing where everyone in the match is putting something up. That’s a really good concept. And a big bombshell to end the show. As good as I could have hoped for.

Show Rating: 9/10

Small modification can make emulational cell phone into a Phoenix (1)

Amazing emulational cell phone sales and the contribution to society are evident. It is because of the emergence of emulational cell phones, and then Shenzhen just becomes prosperous. If the emulational cell phone is cheaper than the Chinese cabbage, we have very good reasons to believe that, for the emulational cell phone industries of lower profits day by day, finding new profit growth point is the current top priority. How to make emulational cell phones from the pheasant into a Phoenix? It is very simple, you can simply add a few silicon MEMS gyroscopes to achieve your purpose, do not believe? The answer is as follow.

Whether you add throwing screens or GPS navigation, now the price of emulational cell phone is almost equivalent to the price of a cabbage. So, now how can it be sold as gold price? It is very simple; you can just add silicon MEMS gyroscopes of a few dollars on it. It brings unique benefits that cell phone users can simply rely on just gestures, then they can play table tennis, golf, fire a gun, driving, sailing, flying and other complex postures to control the game, it is the same as Wii.

Silicon MEMS gyroscope added value in the toy market is very large, for example, children can simply use the gesture to control toy helicopters, and back up the direction of movement, the white-collar workers can do with wireless remote control Slide gesture before and after the flip when they make speeches, if the remote control is with two silicon MEMS gyroscopes, it can be used as an air mouse by gesture control.

Currently global suppliers of silicon MEMS gyros are Bosch, ADI (already out of the consumer electronics market, currently only do auto market), ST, InvenSense, Murata, Panasonic and Shanghai Shen Di Semiconductor. Shen Di is created by the returnees, now it settles in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, it is the only company specializing in silicon MEMS gyro development and sales company in China, currently it has developed first-generation samples, and mass production is expected until the second quarter of this year. Its current main competitive advantage is the lowest prices of the same performance.

Epson is the only global supplier of quartz MEMS gyroscope currently, the stability of quartz MEMS gyro is the best, but the technological requirements are the highest, in addition to Epson basically no one else can do, its biggest drawback is the ability to lower the impact of anti-gravity, only 300g, and silicon MEMS gyroscope can withstand the impact of 10000g.

Shen Di Semiconductor CEO and founder Zou Bo said: “Shen Di products are now three Design, including the Sony PS3 and Lenovo cell phone. It is expected that market demand this year is in 100 million or so.” He added that currently there no foundry can do silicon MEMS gyroscope in China, we are out to do it. However, we are currently building Changzhou IC packaging to cope with the forthcoming deluge orders.

Tiny Inventions Impact our Lives in Big Ways

Among the latest scientific inventions of great importance to us in our daily lives are devices known as MEMS.  Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are the technology of the very small. In Japan MEMS are also called micromachines. Smaller still, are the nano-scale nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanotechnology.

MEMS are made up of components between 1 to 100 micrometers in size (i.e. 0.001 to 0.1 mm) and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometers (20 millionths of a meter) to a millimeter.  MEMS became practical once they could be fabricated using modified semiconductor fabrication technologies, normally used to make electronics.

One type of invention impacting our lives is the accelerometer. An accelerometer measures the acceleration and gravity it experiences. Modern accelerometers are often small micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and are indeed the simplest MEMS devices possible, consisting of little more than a cantilever beam with a proof mass. Under the influence of gravity or acceleration the proof mass deflects from its neutral position. This deflection is measured in an analog or digital manner. This method is simple and reliable; it also does not require additional process steps making it inexpensive.

Micromechanical accelerometers are available in a wide variety of measuring ranges, reaching up to thousands of g’s. These amazing little devices are what allow us to take for granted the most commonplace things in our lives, while benefiting from them immensely.

 For instance, these latest of scientific devices tell our air bags when to deploy.  Do you feel that we benefit from our airbag technology?   They are becoming endemic in gaming devices and even iPhones and other smart phones are using them for interfacing purposes.  They are being incorporated into laptop computers to sense screen orientation, and to park hard drive heads in case a drop is detected.  They are also used for images stabilization in digital cameras and a host of other applications. They are everywhere you look these days.

Another area where MEMS are popping up is in pressure sensors. MEMS technology combines microelectronics with tiny mechanical systems such as valves, gears, and other mechanical components all on one semiconductor chip using nanotechnology to measure pressure. Pressure sensors can be used for directly sensing pressure for such uses as measuring weather data, aircraft performance parameters, automobiles processes, medical devices, and other machine applications . 

These latest scientific inventions can be used for sensing altitude for use in aircraft, rockets, satellites, weather balloons etc. And finally, they can be use for flow sensing. MEMS technology is responsible for everything from automatic blood pressure monitoring devices to monitoring tire pressure of your car.

I’ve barely touched upon the latest scientific inventions in the MEMS field, just think of the military and battlefield uses for such a technology, research is underway for such things as smart clothing and smart armor.

We are using these technologies in the exploration of the ocean depths by implanting them into whales and fish, and monitoring them with radio technology.  All fields of science will continue to benefit from the amazing new inventions being spawned by these amazing and cool new technologies.

Small modification can make emulational cell phone into a Phoenix (2)

Yue Wei (Hong Kong) Electronic Technology Company, Ltd. Shantou Chenghai office Zhang Guifeng also confirms the market forecasts of Zoubo. He says: “currently silicon MEMS gyroscope market is in short supply. We mainly use silicon MEMS gyroscope to do with attitude control of helicopter toys, during Chinese New Year, Children’s Day and Christmas, monthly the shipments are about 2 1 million or so. We concern Shen Di because its price is the lowest in the world now. “

Shen Di recently released its first commercial MEMS gyroscopes SSZ030CG; it also marks the birth of commercial MEMS gyroscopes which is the first with Chinese intellectual property rights. MEMS gyroscopes are the Components of semiconductor industry, it needs a dedicated MEMS processing technology with high-tech nature. While Europe and the United States and Japan has a number of related companies and research institutes making breakthrough in this area, but China starts late and the develop slowly in this regard, yet there is no a production company to provide processing services. Shen Di Semiconductor introduces SSZ030CG gyro which has a very high cost performance, it not only means the situation that many domestic consumer electronics manufacturers have always been dependent on imported gyroscope chip will be broken, and also marks that the innovation of China independent intellectual property rights appear the first time in the MEMS gyroscopes field.

Its appearance not only enhances the competitiveness of Chinese semiconductor industry, but also expands the consumer electronics application market, and gives the market a new concept. As the wide application of the MEMS gyroscope products in consumer electronics and automotive markets, and many other areas, it will offer great business opportunities for the majority of the Chinese relevant market, but also it will greatly enhance Chinese MEMS sensor’s international competitiveness and influence .

“As the Nintendo Wii and Apple iPhone, a new concept drives consumer electronics applications, MEMS gyroscopes applications market is growing rapidly. Silicon MEMS gyro products will be widely used in game consoles, cell phones, toys, GPS positioning, digital cameras and cameras and other consumer electronics and automotive safety and navigation, industrial, aerospace and medical equipment and other fields. “Zou Bo said,” and the design and research and development of gyroscope require high-tech threshold which makes very few competitors, it is a great opportunity for Shen Di Semiconductor to enter the market. Our competitive advantage stems from a series of independent intellectual property rights gyro inertial MEMS sensor chip design capabilities, as well as Chinese MEMS industry chain integration. We offer our customers not only advanced products, but also comprehensive solutions and quality services. I believe that customers will become partners with Shen Di and Shen Di will make a tremendous commercial success. “

He tells the reporters of “International Electronic Business” that currently Shen Di has applied 20 patents in China to protect its commercial interests. And we do not fear of overseas suppliers moving into mainland China to take our business, because they do not consider this option, because they will do not bring the core test technology into China.

In addition to consumer electronics market, Zou also reveals that currently they are moving to another large gyroscope application market (automobile security and the automotive electronics market) and develops automotive-grade silicon MEMS gyroscopes, as automotive product requirements a wider operating temperature range, Therefore, products will use the vehicle ceramic package. Silicon MEMS gyroscopes are mainly used in automotive chassis, it can accurately and rapidly detect the attitude under a variety of driving to help automotive active safety control systems play a role in a timely manner.

In addition, he says, we will open up Internet of things (positioning, tracking and logistics system remote control), digital cameras and the new anti-terrorism applications. For example, we can use silicon MEMS gyroscopes to achieve a simple digital camera anti-shake function.
