Install Whale Component Manager
In Apple Macintoshcomputer programming, Component Manager was one of many approaches to sharing code that originated on the pre-PowerPC Macintosh. It was originally introduced as part of QuickTime, which remained the part of the classic Mac OS that used it most heavily.[1]Callaway x hot 2 deep review.
Technical details[edit]
Any one povide solution to avoid this issue when install newly created custom component from local CS path to ECM Dev component manager. Unable to install the new component. Component location is required.
- Site Component Manager failed to install this component, because the Microsoft Installer File for this component (enrollweb.msi) could not install. EnrollsrvMSI.log and enrollwebMSI.log were both not very helpful. They just say the operation failed and provide no further info. I investigated the windows event log and found this.
- Select a component in the Detail Component Manager, and click Insert Component (or double-click the component). Click a detail component tool icon on a tool palette. Drag and drop a detail component tool from a Content Browser tool catalog directly into a drawing. Select a component in a drawing, right-click, and click Add Selected.
A component was a piece of code that provided various functions that may be invoked by clients. Each function was identified by a signed 16-bit integer ID code. Non-positive codes were reserved for predefined functions that should be understood by all components—open/close a component instance, query whether a function was supported, etc. The meanings of positive function codes depended on the type of component.
A component instance was created by opening a component. This called the component's open function to allocate and initialize any necessary storage for the instance. Closing the instance got rid of this storage and invalidated all references to that instance.
Components and component instances were referenced by 32-bit values that were not pointers. Instead, they were interpreted as keys into internal Component Manager tables. These references were generated in such a way that, once they became invalid, those values were unlikely to become valid again for a long time. This minimized the chance of obscure bugs due to dangling references.
Components were identified by OSType codes giving their type, subtype and 'manufacturer'. For instance, a component type might be 'raster image compressor', subtypes of which might exist for JPEG, H.261, Sorenson, and Intel Indeo, among others. It was possible to have multiple components registered with exactly the same identification codes, giving alternative implementations of the same algorithm for example using hardware versus software, trading off speed versus quality, or other criteria. It was possible for the applications to query the existence of such alternatives and make explicit choices between them, or let the system choose a default.
Among the options available, a component could delegate parts of its functions to another component as a form of subclassing for code reuse. It was also possible for one component to capture another, which meant that all accesses to the captured component had to go through the capturing one.
Mac OS Components[edit]
Mac OS accumulated a great variety of component types:
- Within QuickTime, there were image codecs, media handlers, media data handlers, video digitizer drivers, file format importers and exporters, and many others.
- The Sound Manager moved to a predominantly component-based architecture in version 3.0: sound output devices were represented as components, and there were also component types for mixing multiple channels, converting between different sample rates and sample sizes, and encoding and decoding compressed formats.
- AppleScript introduced the concept of scripting languages implemented as components.
- ColorSync implemented different colour-matching methods as components.
- QuickDraw GX 'font scalers' were renderers for the different font formats.

Researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)
and the Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
have teamed up with an international energy company and federal regulators to
listen for and help protect endangered North Atlantic right whales in New England waters.
Building on advances in ocean mooring design, underwater
acoustic systems, and telecommunications, the team built and installed ten
“auto-detection buoys” to listen for the calls of right whales along the main
shipping lanes into Massachusetts Bay and Boston Harbor.
The array of instruments—conceived by biologist and engineer Christopher W.
Clark of the Cornell Lab and engineer John Kemp of WHOI—was largely funded by
Excelerate Energy, L.L.C., as part of its environmental compliance associated
with its Northeast Gateway deepwater port for liquefied natural gas (LNG). The import
facility is set to begin operations in spring 2008.
The new listening system allows researchers to detect the
location of whales in real time and alert ship operators and coastal resource
managers to their presence. With advance warning, ships can be slowed or
re-routed to prevent collisions, which is the most common cause of death for
the iconic New England whale.
Marine
biologists estimate that only 350 to 400 right whales remain in the North Atlantic.
“North Atlantic right
whales migrate through a highly industrialized part of the coastline, and we
need creative solutions to help them survive,” said Kemp, an engineer in WHOI’s
Department of Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering. “The challenge was to
develop a mooring that could stand up to the stresses of harsh New England waters while keeping an acoustically quiet
environment for the hydrophones.”
Mandated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), the whale-detection system was installed along a 55
nautical mile segment of the Boston Traffic Separation Scheme (primary shipping
lanes) leading to Boston Harbor.
The Northeast Gateway is located approximately
13 nautical miles south southeast of Gloucester,
Mass., and 1.8 nautical miles
from the western border of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (which
is managed by NOAA).
Since the route to the LNG terminal
takes vessels through prime whale habitat, researchers and regulators from the
sanctuary and NOAA Fisheries worked with the Port’s licensing agencies (the US
Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration) and Excelerate Energy to develop a
plan to keep whales and LNG ships out of each other’s way in Massachusetts
Bay.
Excelerate Energy then entered into a
partnership with the Cornell Lab and WHOI to develop the remote auto-detection
system. To further reduce the operational risk of ship strikes, Excelerate
Energy has trained its crew members to watch for marine mammals and sea turtles
as their vessels travel to and from the port.
Each auto-detection buoy is instrumented with an underwater
microphone—or hydrophone—to carry underwater sounds to the surface via
specially designed cable that WHOI technicians playfully call it the “Gumby
hose.” The stretchy, hose-like cable has data-conducting wires woven into its
walls.
More importantly, the Gumby hose can stretch to at least
twice its normal length, a special mooring design created at WHOI to overcome
harsh sea states and keep the buoy above water. In typical winter storm
conditions in the North Atlantic, wave heights
in coastal waters can swell to 10 meters (33 feet), putting dangerous strain on
traditional mooring lines and creating excessive noise that would make whale
detection nearly impossible.
Data from the hydrophones are relayed through the Gumby hose
to customized computers on the surface buoy, which continuously analyze
underwater sounds to detect possible right whale calls. Every 20 minutes, these
acoustic detections are sent by cellular or satellite phone to a server at Clark’s lab, where they are validated by whale call
experts.

In the process, researchers can determine whether right whales have
been detected within range of each buoy and then alert Excelerate Energy and,
perhaps eventually, other ships using maritime telecommunications networks.
“Thanks to these efforts, for the first time, ship
captains can receive continuous information on where the whales are so they can
slow down and avoid tragic collisions,” said Clark, lead scientist on the
project. “Scientific studies indicate that the death of just one or two
breeding females a year will lead to the population’s extinction. Slowing down
for whales will make a big difference.”
The WHOI Mooring Operations, Engineering, and Field Support
Group has been designing, building, and deploying scientific instruments in the
sea for decades, making dozens of installations around the world each year for
researchers from WHOI and many other institutions and companies.
Kemp and Clark have been working together on the
whale-detection system since 2003, testing several different hydrophones and
mooring designs. The team recently deployed three whale detection buoys in Cape Cod Bay
for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and two off the coasts of Georgia and Florida.
The effort to detect and protect whales in Massachusetts Bay
is part of a larger effort by scientists and personnel from the New England
Aquarium, Provincetown
Center for Coastal
Studies, NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Stellwagen Bank National
Marine Sanctuary, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology, WHOI, and other members of the Right Whale Consortium.
