Allen in response to the previous letter; (2) Letter dated 15 March 1969 from Gerald F. Allen to Lorenzo A. Richards, discussing developing a working arrangement in their respective work with soil salinity• YOUR BRIDGE BETWEEN PROBLEMS AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS phone (714) 624-5184 18 March 1969 Dr. Lorenzo A. Richards, Ph.D. 4455 Fifth St. Riverside, Calif. 92501 Dear Dr. Richards: I certainly appreciated the refreshing chat with you the other day; also your letter and patent copy (enclosed!. Will look forward to talking with you about further developmental work on your sensor. It was somewhat of a relief to find that your patent did not overlap the design I have been working on, other than the fact that an electro-thermal element was incorporated in the sensor, and that the readings obtained are based on the heat flow characteristics of the soil. The materials used in, and the configuration of my sensor design in no way involves a ceramic cup or other porous material. Hopefully, there is no reason why we cannot establish some kind of gentlemen\u27s agreement and working arrangement, wherein I would not appropriate any of your porous-cup sensor designs or concepts, and you would not appropriate any of my non-porous-cup or non-standard-soil-simulating designs or concepts. Let\u27s talk about this at your earliest convenience, as I would welcome the opportunity to assist you or work with you. The most exciting thing that has happened here, is the development of a simple soil salinity tester that reads out the conductivity of a saturation extract within a few seconds of the time a saturation paste is preparedl Thus, the problem of correllating pastes and extracts disappears. The working model I built (and documented) this weekend, is no more elaborate or expensive than the straight-forward conductivity tester that I showed you last week. Am more than anxious to show this device and associated analytical concept, to you. You may be opening this letter about the time I will phone you - Wednesday morning, when I shall be in Riverside for an appointment with Dr. Branson and Dr. Rawlins. If this turns out to be a convenient time, perhaps we can chat sometime Wed. Respectfully yours, /7 7//^i 77 7 f % (, */J 7/ 77/^i •7 / 7/?

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

Having developed a unique combination of manual as well as mental skills, GFA is able to minimize subsequent product refinement and debugging costs that so often proliferate when the expert\u27s theory is committed to practice. Armed with a keen understanding of fundamental theory and physical processes, plus the knack of stripping problems to their barest essentials, GFA has demonstrated the ability to solve problems that appear - superficially - to be "out of his area". Examples: Math/hardware design of microwave coaxial terminations. Electrochemical analysis technique, and associated instruments. A new process and scientific breakthrough. Techniques to minimize heat loss and maximize conduction rate from non-infinite heat sources. General Dynamics Reliability-with-Confidence slide rule, that has gained world-wide acceptance and use. NATURAL ASSETS Creativity - the ability to translate basic fundamentals - of science, engineering, math, and industrial practice - into useful, profitable problem solutions. Flair for designing electronic circuits, associated mechanical devices and assemblies. Skilled in operation of machine tools. Ability to trouble-shoot electronic designs and hardware. Attention to detail. Persnickety craftsmanship. MINIMIZING THE CLIENT\u27S RISK To help the potential client assess how well GFA can handle his specific requirements or problems, GFA invests the time necessary to review these needs. Within a few days, a technical approach or proposal is presented (on an unsolicited basis) for the prospective client\u27s review. If the services of GFA are deemed worthy of further consideration, a working relationship can then be established. When appropriate, remuneration for services rendered can be made subject to the conditions that the deliverable end item meets or exceeds quality and performance requirements. page 1 • YOUR BRIDGE BETWEEN PROBLEMS AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS phone (714) 624-5184 In any event, since GFA\u27s performance quality is unconditionally guaranteed, the client is charged only for unconditionally outstanding work.

Each instrument is calibrated against a standard ASTM thermometer to within 0.05° F. Regular replaceable probes will register within 0.36° F. of the actual temperature - without the benefit of matched calibration. If necessary, more exact temperature readings can be obtained by simply adding the small fraction-of-a-degree specified on each probe to the observed meter reading. More expensive probes with 0.18° F. interchangeability can be supplied on request; however, regular-probe accuracy is adequate for most practical applications. Special-accuracy or matched-calibration requirements will gladly be accommodated. Complete calibration records for every instrument sold are maintained and filed by owner\u27s name and instrument serial number. OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND SERVICES • Special electronic thermometers and fast-response probes covering virtually any temperature range or group of ranges below 300° F. Example: Vehicle-mounted units for monitoring frost temperatures, featuring easy-to-read temperature display, no calibration, and replaceable probe. • Remote temperature telemetry system (now under development). Allows user to read temperatures at any location at any distance - from a single meter in a small central-control box. Represents a state-of-the-art advance in practical, economical data communication. (Patent application in process.) • Revolutionary instant soil-and-water salinity tester. Small, portable instrument gives saturation-extract-equivalent salinity values within 3 minutes. Eliminates costly laboratory trips, and the entire vacuum-filtration process. A true scientific breakthrough. (Patent application in process.) • Consulting and custom-design/prototype services in the area of agricultural electronics: Control, measurement, and telemetry systems. Special automatic mist and sprinkler controls. Advanced frost-protection instruments and systems. Soil moisture and salinity testing devices. Electronic instrument repair, modification, and design.
