Gray classic tabby8/11/2023 ![]() ![]() In some lines of old type Siamese, there is less contrast between body and points, allowing the underlying pattern to show through (in spite of the low contrast and aqua-blue eyes, Hunter does not have Tonkinese ancestry). All of these have dorsal stripes similar to Hunter. Urban Hunter has been mated to a red-point Thai called Kasia Ruda, resulting in one male and four female kittens. The mackerel pattern is dominant to the classic pattern, but it's the classic pattern that became established early on at cat shows because the bolder, thicker markings were more eye-catching, especially on a silver background.Īndrea and Beata Brunetti, in Italy, have a pedigree Thai (the European name for the less extreme, traditional or old style of Siamese cat) called Urban Hunter with a visible blotched tabby pattern and an interesting dorsal stripe as shown above. Viewed from above, the classic tabby pattern resembles butterfly wings, giving it the nickname "Butterfly Tabby" - a term better known in grandmother's day than in the modern day. Sometimes the markings are extremely broad and fuse together, especially on the back and flanks. In the "classic tabby" (blotched tabby) there are broad bands, whorls and spirals of dark colour on a paler background usually with a "bulls eye" (or "oyster") pattern on the flank. In the mackerel tabby, the vertical stripes are thin like fishbones and may break up into bars or vertically aligned spots. These two patterns are common in random-breeding pet and feral populations. The two most common tabby patterns are "mackerel tabby" and "classic tabby" (blotched tabby, oyster tabby). So as well as the cat fancy definitions, I've covered as many variations as I can and there are no doubt many more out there! Nature isn't so restricted in its patterns and there are numerous variations found in random-bred cats and emerging breeds (particuarly those with hybrid ancestry) that aren't recognised by the cat fancy. For example the "marbled tabby" seen in Bengals is a variation on the "classic tabby". The cat fancy recognises four basic types of tabby (ticked, mackerel, classic, spotted) with breed-specific variations on each of these types. When sold in England, this silk was called atabi or - by those who misheard - taffety. Their name was said to have been derived from a street in Baghdad celebrated for the manufacture of its watered or moire silks. In the early days of cat exhibitions, tabbies were divided into banded and spotted. These are two examples of tabby, or striped, cat. For most people, two of the most familiar "types" of cat are the "blotched tabby" and the "ginger tom" (or "marmalade cat"). ![]()

Complex boolean search tools8/11/2023 ![]() For instance, if an investigator is tracking the activities of a person known as "John Doe" but suspects he may be operating under different aliases, the search query "John Doe OR alias OR alternative name" will retrieve results related to any of the mentioned terms. In AML investigations, this operator can be helpful when investigating multiple entities or aliases associated with a suspicious individual. "OR" Operator: The "OR" operator is used to expand the search results by including either one or both of the specified keywords. For example, if an investigator is looking for information about a suspicious individual named John Doe involved in cryptocurrency transactions, the search query "John Doe AND cryptocurrency" will retrieve results that contain both the name "John Doe" and the term "cryptocurrency." This helps filter out unrelated results and focuses the search on the specific combination of keywords.ī. "AND" Operator: By using the "AND" operator between two or more keywords, investigators can specify that all the keywords must be present in the search results. Boolean operators enable investigators to broaden or narrow their search scope, exclude irrelevant information, and discover hidden connections among entities involved in potential money laundering activities.Ī. Google Boolean search is a technique that allows users to refine their search queries using logical operators such as "AND," "OR," and "NOT." By combining keywords and operators, investigators can tailor their searches to deliver more accurate and precise results. In this article, we will explore how Google Boolean search techniques can enhance AML investigations, and provide practical examples to guide upcoming investigators in utilizing this valuable resource. By harnessing the advanced search capabilities of Google, investigators can efficiently gather relevant information, uncover hidden connections, and accelerate the investigative process. As technology continues to advance, one powerful tool that can significantly aid anti-money laundering (AML) investigators is Google Boolean search. Money laundering schemes have become increasingly complex and sophisticated, demanding innovative approaches to investigations.

![]() ![]() Modified input voltage (parallel feedback): when the input voltage crosses the threshold in some direction the circuit changes its input voltage in the same direction (now it adds a part of its output voltage directly to the input voltage). Examples are the classic transistor emitter-coupled Schmitt trigger, the op-amp inverting Schmitt trigger, etc. In this arrangement, attenuation and summation are separated: a voltage divider acts as an attenuator and the loop acts as a simple series voltage summer. These circuits are implemented by a differential amplifier with 'series positive feedback' where the input is connected to the inverting input and the output - to the non-inverting input. Thus the output affects the threshold and does not impact on the input voltage. ![]() For this purpose, it subtracts a part of its output voltage from the threshold (it is equal to adding voltage to the input voltage). In the third technique, the threshold and memory properties are separated.ĭynamic threshold (series feedback): when the input voltage crosses the threshold in some direction the circuit itself changes its own threshold to the opposite direction. In these configurations, the output voltage increases the effective difference input voltage of the comparator by 'decreasing the threshold' or by 'increasing the circuit input voltage' the threshold and memory properties are incorporated in one element. The first two of them are dual versions (series and parallel) of the general positive feedback system. There are three specific techniques for implementing this general idea. These circuits contain an attenuator (the B box in the figure on the right) and an adder (the circle with "+" inside) in addition to an amplifier acting as a comparator. The positive feedback is introduced by adding a part of the output voltage to the input voltage. Any active circuit can be made to behave as a Schmitt trigger by applying a positive feedback so that the loop gain is more than one. It is a system with positive feedback in which the output signal fed back into the input causes the amplifier A to switch rapidly from one saturated state to the other when the input crosses a threshold.Ĭircuits with hysteresis are based on positive feedback. They are also used in closed loop negative feedback configurations to implement relaxation oscillators, used in function generators and switching power supplies.īlock diagram of a Schmitt trigger circuit. Schmitt trigger devices are typically used in signal conditioning applications to remove noise from signals used in digital circuits, particularly mechanical contact bounce in switches. There is a close relation between the two kinds of circuits: a Schmitt trigger can be converted into a latch and a latch can be converted into a Schmitt trigger. This dual threshold action is called hysteresis and implies that the Schmitt trigger possesses memory and can act as a bistable multivibrator (latch or flip-flop). When the input is below a different (lower) chosen threshold the output is low, and when the input is between the two levels the output retains its value. In the non-inverting configuration, when the input is higher than a chosen threshold, the output is high. The circuit is named a trigger because the output retains its value until the input changes sufficiently to trigger a change. ![]() It is an active circuit which converts an analog input signal to a digital output signal. In electronics, a Schmitt trigger is a comparator circuit with hysteresis implemented by applying positive feedback to the noninverting input of a comparator or differential amplifier. T and − T are the switching thresholds, and M and − M are the output voltage levels. The horizontal and vertical axes are input voltage and output voltage, respectively. ![]() |
