text: Fig. 43. THE LAST JUDGEMENT. In the Pinakothek at Munich. After a photograph from the original by Franz Hanfstängl, Munich. (To page 56.) painter. And no one has better represented the excited movements of a restive horse. He positively revelled in portraying the beauty of the fine Andalusian steeds, so much prized at that period for riding and hunting. He occasionally even did not disdain to make studies from clumsy Flemish mares (Fig. 39). With the same masterly hand he also painted dogs, among which the fine spotted greyhounds, employed by noblemen for the chase were his special admiration. He was devoted to the painting of wild beasts, many varieties of which he could find at the Zoological Gardens at Antwerp and in private menageries. He often introduces the Bengal tiger with his splendid colouring into his paintings, and lions are not infrequently made principals figures in his compositions. Of which latter animals he has left numerous sketches. We are told that he once invited into his studio a strolling trainer with a magnificent lion, promising the man a handsome sum of money if he would make the beast yawn by tickling its jaw-bones, so that he might study its open mouth. The lion, however, did not approve of this game and, threatening to become dangerous, had to be summarily removed. It is added that, soon after, this same lion tore his keeper to pieces. The finest picture of a lion by Rubens is in the Pinakothek at Munich: painted in 1616 for the Duke of Bavaria. Seven men, three on foot and four on horseback, are represented in the act of attacking a lion and a lioness: one of the men lies dead on the ground, whilst another fights desperately with the lioness, who has thrown him down. A white horse upon which is mounted a Moor also clad in white, severely wounded in its shoulder, rears madly, whilst its rider overpowered by the lion is shouting loudly. Men are cutting and thrusting; horses stamping and rearing; forming a magnificent composition, full of wildest movement (Fig. 40). In 1616 Rubens received from the Prince Palatine of Neuburg a commission to paint The Last Judgment for the church at Neuburg. This grand subject had been treated by him already in two separate representations, both of which are now in the Pinakothek at Munich. The stern words of judgment, which divide the Just from the Unjust have already been spoken. In the one picture we may see the Redeemed ascending to heaven like Fig. 45. PIETÀ. (Sketch for the altar-piece in the Museum at Antwerp.) In the Albertina at Vienna. After a photograph from the original by Braun, Clément & Co., Dornach, Paris and New-York. (To page 61.) a dense cloud of smoke toward the Judge, enthroned on a distant height: in the other the Condemned in an tumultuous body are precipitated into an abyss of glowing flame and darkness. The remarkable features of this work lie perhaps less in the profusion of rising and falling bodies, than in the general effect of the whole, which, on so grand a scale, has never since been attempted. The number of souls is endless; thousands and thousands seem massed together: and in both pictures the impression is conveyed DEATH OF THE CONSUL P. DECIUS Mus. Fig. 46. Sketch for an engraving. In the Liechtenstein Gallery at Vienna. After a photograph from the original by Braun, Clément & Co., Dornach, Paris and New-York. (To page 66.) that they are yet followed by thousands and thousands more (Figs. 41—42). The order executed for the Prince Palatine was necessarily simpler in its conception than the above composition, because the Ascent to Heaven and the Descent to Hell are united in one composition. The Pinakothek at Munich possesses not only the splendid sketch of the master, (drawn by the painter's own hand), for the smaller Last Judgment, but also the sketch for the larger composition, erected in the year 1617 over the altar at Neuburg and subsequently removed to the Collection at Düsseldorf, the capital of the Palatinate; whence in 1805 it was brought to Munich with numerous other paintings by the same master (Fig. 43). The work of pupils is unmistakeable in the larger picture at Munich: and the same is the case with two other altar-pieces executed also for the Prince Palatine some years later: the Nativity and the Descent of the Holy Ghost, both likewise now in the Pinakothek at Munich; although in the former painting we may trace as his own work the rejoicing angels (Fig. 44). According to an old tradition Rubens estimated the price of his works according to the time spent over them. He reckoned about 100 florins a day for his labour which, making allowance for the difference in the value of money at the present time, would be about £ 19. This seems very probable since he was wont to execute pictures of large dimensions in a comparatively short time: and it is moreover confirmed by a letter preserved at the Plantin-Moretus Museum at Antwerp, wherein Balthasar Moretus states that Rubens makes designs for titlepages only in his leisure moments: so that if a drawing for such purpose was required of him on a workingday his price for it was 100 florins. The paintings executed with the help of pupils were comparatively cheaper. This we learn from Rubens himself in his interesting correspondence with Sir Dudley Carleton, British Ambassador at the Hague. These letters dating from the year 1618, a great number of which have been published, are invaluable for the comprehension of his character and his inner life. Through them we are enabled to admire his extensive knowledge, his clearness of sight and the accuracy of his judgment. The subject of this correspondence was the collection of antique marbles owned by Carleton. Without having even seen them Rubens desired to acquire them, because, as he himself said, he was "mad on antiques". Sir Dudley Carleton proposed to exchange his marbles for paintings by the master himself. This proposition the latter accepted most willingly and having received a catalogue of Carleton's antiques with a statement of the prices paid for them, he forwarded a list of his own paintings, detailing their size, value and the amount of cooperation upon each received by him from friends and pupils. There was a Chained Prometheus, 8 feet by 9, the eagle in which was painted by Snyders,- for 500 florins; a Daniel in the Lion's Den, painted from life- an original executed by him alone-8 feet by 12, for 600 florins; Leopards (painted from life) with Satyrs and Nymphs, - also an original by himself, except the beautiful landscape, which was executed "by a master much skilled in that line", |

Commercial Property Insurance
What is Business Property Insurance?
Below are just a few of the important ways business property coverage can help you in the event of a loss. (Some coverage may not be available on all policies or in all states)
Business Income
Reimburses you for your actual loss of earnings from 12 months to 18 months resulting from a covered loss to your property. Also covers extraordinary expenses you incur in order to continue operations after a covered claim.
Computers & Media
Provides coverage for your computers, peripheral devices and media. Coverage is also provided for the costs to research, replace or repair lost or damaged data and software as a result of covered damage to computer equipment, certain power failures, or a computer virus. Business Income Coverage, if purchased, also applies to computer equipment, data and software.
Business Personal Property Insurance (Contents)
Provides coverage for furniture, fixtures, merchandise, materials and all other personal property owned by you and used in your business. Coverage is at replacement cost.
Property of Others
Protects you against loss or damage to the property of others that is in your possession at a job site or on your premises. This coverage would respond to claims for accidental damage to customer equipment in your care, custody or control.
Up to $10,000 for laptop computers, PDAs and similar portable computer equipment anywhere in the world, including while in transit. (Not covered if checked as baggage)
Equipment Breakdown
Covers the cost to repair or replace equipment, such as computers, air conditioners, phone systems and steam boilers, following a loss or damage caused by mechanical breakdown or artificially generated electrical current.
Lock and Key Replacement
Pays for re-keying of locks, up to a specified limit, at your business premises following the theft of your keys by a burglar.
Money and Securities
Protects money and securities used in your business if they are stolen, destroyed or lost.
Note: This summary outlines in general terms the coverages afforded under some policies. Examine the policy carefully for any exclusions, limitations, or any other terms or conditions that may specifically affect coverage. The terms and conditions of the policy prevail.
Why do I need Business Property Insurance?
Even if you run a home-based business and have home insurance, you'll need to protect your business assets with separate contents and computer insurance; your home owner's policy probably will not cover business equipment.
Contents and computer insurance
Protects your business equipment from perils such as fire, storm damage or theft. To determine how much property or contents insurance you'll need, create an itemized list of your business' assets and their individual dollar values. Then decide which assets you actually want to insure and for what value.
In some cases, you may decide against insuring a particular asset, because it just doesn't warrant the cost of the premium. In other cases, the premium may be well worth paying.
Business property insurance coverage is typically packaged with additional coverages for property issued to you by a client that is temporarily in your custody and Business Interruption Insurance that pays for loss of earnings when operations are curtailed or suspended because of a covered property loss.
Let Blancken Insurance Group 512-293-9588 help you choose a policy that will fit your individual needs. Protecting your assets, whether personal, business, or both, is our goal. A well-chosen policy can lessen the impact of some of life's most common, yet unforeseen perils. We're here to help when you are considering Commercial Real Estate coverage.

Posted March 6, 2012
As a nationally recognized expert in planned giving and family philanthropy, Charles Collier has worked with hundreds of individuals and families to help them shape their philanthropy, make tax-wise gift decisions and deal with family issues surrounding financial wealth. Formerly the senior philanthropic adviser at Harvard University for 25 years, Collier also has held development positions at Princeton, Brown, Andover and Dartmouth.
Two years ago, at age 61, Collier was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, which accelerated his retirement from Harvard last year. Collier first learned about Cure Alzheimer's Fund when he sent out his retirement notice to his clients, including Fund founders Phyllis and Jerry Rappaport. Says Collier, "Phyllis immediately called me and said, in her wonderful way, you've got to meet the people at Cure Alzheimer's Fund." He had known Henry McCance from Harvard already, but when Collier attended the Cure Alzheimer's Fund symposium in October, he decided he wanted to get involved with the organization. "Henry and Phyllis are remarkable people who get things done," he says. "I knew then that I needed to understand more about how Cure Alzheimer's Fund supports important research that can make a difference to someone with Alzheimer's, no matter what stage they are in, because that's me." Since then, Collier has focused his efforts on helping to support Cure Alzheimer's Fund's fundraising efforts. He was recently interviewed for a Cure Alzheimer's Fund film, "Through the Eyes of a Seasoned Fundraiser Diagnosed with Alzheimer's," which you can watch here.
Each year Collier's functioning gets a bit worse, but he says, "I am a fighter and that's why I chose to contribute my time, expertise and my own money to this organization." Collier's father left him a donor-advised fund, and he told Collier, "when I die, you can have what's left of the IRA money yourself, but it will only be 35 percent of what's left over, or you can use 100 percent of it for philanthropy." So Collier made a significant donation to Cure Alzheimer's Fund. "I believe it's critical to support the best researchers in order to find a cure for Alzheimer's, especially when 100 percent of donations go directly to research," says Collier. "Every minute a baby boomer is told that they have Alzheimer's. The country needs to wake up and understand the urgency of finding a cure."
When asked how he's doing, Collier says, "We're all dealt a hand of cards in life. Some are good, some not so good. What matters is how you react to those cards. I'm supporting Cure Alzheimer's Fund because it's a unique organization that's really trying to tackle the illness. And by volunteering, I hope I can make a difference."
"As a thoughtful leader in his field, my father greatly values organizations that are founded on learning and innovation. Cure Alzheimer's Fund is one of those organizations." —Whit Collier, son of Charlie Collier

Salvador Dali - Divine Comedy - The Seducers
Salvador Dali The Seducers
Salvador Dali The Seducers is a woodblock print. It is from the Divine Comedy book. It is Inferno #15 and comes with its own Canto. There were 4765 French edition books printed. So that means there are many more than 4765 of this print. This is because some of the books have sets of extra prints. If you like the print, buy it. Don't think it is an investment. There were about 3000 of the Italian version and more than 300 of the German version. If you go to the decomposition page on our web-site you can see how the individual woodblocks fit together to make a complete print. It is an interesting process. Go the the decomposition page.
Click on this link for additional background information on Salvador Dali.
The woodblock process for The Seducers
A woodblock is exactly that. Cutting tools carve an image into a block of wood. The carving creates a relief pattern. That is the uncut part of the wood is printed. Salvador Dali The Seducers print required 34 separate woodblocks to create the final woodblock. Printing one woodblock added the color wash laid on the woodblock. The entire printing process can been seen as a decomposition. I show an example of a decomposition of the main Divine Comedy page. Some of the books come with decompositions. There are at least 6 decompositions is each of the first 865 books.
Available for sale are:
1) The individual woodblock, Salvador Dali The Seducers, is available individually. If you desire we may have the print with a block signature.
2) The complete set of the Divine Comedy is Available.
E-mail us for the Price and condition report. Subsequently, call us for more information.

Are you saving for retirement? For your children's education? For any other long-term goal? If so, you'll want to know how inflation can impact your savings. Inflation is the increase in the price of products over time. Inflation rates have fluctuated over the years. Sometimes inflation runs high, and other times it is hardly noticeable. The short-term changes aren't the real issue. The real issue is the effect of long-term inflation.
Over the long term, inflation erodes the purchasing power of your income and wealth. This means that even as you save and invest, your accumulated wealth buys less and less, just with the mere passage of time. And those who put off saving and investing impacted even more.
The effects of inflation can't be denied — yet there are ways to fight them. It would be wise to own at least some investments whose potential return exceeds the inflation rate. A portfolio that earns 2% when inflation is 3% actually loses purchasing power each year. Though past performance is no guarantee of future results, stocks historically have provided higher long-term total returns than cash alternatives or bonds. However, that potential for higher returns comes with, greater risk of volatility and potential for loss. You can lose part or all of the money you invest in a stock. Because of that volatility, stock investments may not be appropriate for money you count on to be available in the short term. You'll need to think about whether you have the financial and emotional ability to ride out those ups and downs as you pursue higher returns.
Bonds can also help, but since 1926 their inflation-adjusted return has been less than that of stocks. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to the timely payment of principal and interest, are indexed so that your return should keep pace with inflation. The principal is automatically adjusted every six months to reflect increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index; as long as you hold a TIPS to maturity, you will receive the greater of the original or inflation-adjusted principal. Unless you own TIPs in a tax-deferred account, you must pay federal income tax on the income plus any increase in principal, even though you won't receive any accrued principal until the bond matures. When interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds will typically fall on the secondary market. However, changing rates and secondary-market values should not affect the principal of bonds held to maturity.
Diversifying your portfolio — spending your assets across a variety of investments that may respond differently to market conditions — is one way to help manage inflation risk. However, diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
All investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that any investment will be worth what you paid for it when you sell.

You and the dealer both start with 2 cards. One of the dealer's cards starts face down (the hole card). Each card has a value from 1 to 11. Cards with numbers have the same value as the number on the face. cks, Queens and Kings are 10. Aces are 1 or 11. The point total is the sum of all the cards in a hand. If it is greater than 21, it busts. If you bust, you always lose, even if the dealer busts. The hand with the highest point total that doesn't bust wins. If you win, you are paid out with a ratio of 1:1. blackjack occurs when a player has 2 cards that total 21. If you have blackjack and the dealer does not, then you will be paid out with a ratio of 3:2. If both you and the dealer have blackjack, then it's a push and you don't win or lose any money.
Here are the options you have for playing your hand:
Stand: Stop taking cards and let the dealer play his cards.
Hit: Take another card from the deck.
Double down: Double your bet, take exactly one more card from the deck, and then stand.
Split: If you have two cards with the same rank, you can split your current hand and play two hands, with two bets. Each card from the old hand will be the first card of the new hands. You can split multiple times.
Surrender: If the dealer is showing an ace or a 10-point card, you can surrender before he checks his hole card. You will lose half the money you bet.
Insurance: If the dealer has a potential blackjack, before he checks his hole card, you can purchase insurance against the blackjack for half your initial bet. If the dealer has blackjack, you will win the insurance bet with a payout of 1:1.
We play with only a single-deck so use your card counting skills to your advantage!

If an unexpected accident takes place at your facility or office, or a lawsuit related to a product or service is filed against your business, the general liability insurance you have in place should cover your losses, including the legal costs involved in defending against it. A general business insurance policy should cover you against injury lawsuits, false or misleading advertising lawsuits, accusations of slander, and copyright infringement, as well as property damage to your place of business if you are tenant rather than the owner of the property.
Do You Have The Right Level Of Protection?
The level of coverage you have in place will determine whether you are actually fully protected against financial losses. Many business owners have a policy in which property insurance and liability insurance are bundled into one contract called a "BOP" or Business Owners Policy. The actual coverage for liability in these policies is often less than what is needed should the unexpected occur. As with any insurance policy, you will be forced to pay the shortfall once you reach the limits of your coverage. If you have concerns about your actual protection against risk, our local commercial insurance agents can review your policy, your facility, and your level of risk based upon your industry.
Business Insurance In Your Area
Creating a custom insurance policy might be the right choice for your business. This policy would be created based upon your level of risk with a focus on affordability. You need the coverage, but the price must be reasonable. Our entire team lives and works in the area, and as a local agency, we will make it easy for you to get the service and assistance you need in this important matter.
We can review your existing policies and offer simple suggestions on risk protection that are based upon a real-world understanding of your operation, your facility, and the level of risk that may exist. There are a range of strategies that may work for you, and since we are business owners ourselves, we know the importance of the bottom line. We will go the distance for you in finding an affordable policy that will best protect you and your business.
Contact us today if you're interested in learning more about the commercial insurance policies we offer, or if it is time to review your existing coverage.

We believe that it's a conflict of interest when Internet service providers operate their own speed tests. A third party opinion is necessary and the provider shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the process. When providers host their own speed tests they eliminate the variables that you're here to test. Namely the Internet route itself. This test is unbiased, it tests and grades all providers on the same criteria. They want you to think your connection is running perfectly... but is it really?

They strongly encourage us to pay very close attention to the Quality Guidelines below, which outline some of the illicit practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google index or otherwise affected by an algorithmic or manual spam action. If a site has been affected by a spam action, it may no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google's partner sites.
General Guidelines:
Help Google find your pages
- Ensure that all pages on the site can be reached by a link from another findable page. The referring link should include either text or, for images, an alt attribute, that is relevant to the target page.
- Provide a sitemap file with links that point to the important pages on your site. Also provide a page with a human-readable list of links to these pages (sometimes called a site index or site map page).
- Limit the number of links on a page to a reasonable number (a few thousand at most).
- Make sure that your web server correctly supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature directs your web server to tell Google if your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead.
- Use the robots.txt file on your web server to manage your crawling budget by preventing crawling of infinite spaces such as search result pages. Keep your robots.txt file up to date. Learn how to manage crawling with the robots.txt file. Test the coverage and syntax of your robots.txt file using the robots.txt testing tool.
Ways to help Google find your site:
- Submit it to Google at http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/.
- Submit a Sitemap using Google Search Console. Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase our coverage of your webpages.
- Make sure that any sites that should know about your pages are aware your site is online.
Help Google understand your pages
- Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.
- Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.
- Ensure that your <title> elements and alt attributes are descriptive, specific, and accurate.
- Design your site to have a clear conceptual page hierarchy.
- Follow our recommended best practices for images, video, and structured data.
- When using a content management system (for example, Wix or WordPress), make sure that it creates pages and links that search engines can crawl.
- To help Google fully understand your site's contents, allow all site assets that would significantly affect page rendering to be crawled: for example, CSS and JavaScript files that affect the understanding of the pages. The Google indexing system renders a web page as the user would see it, including images, CSS, and JavaScript files. To see which page assets that Googlebot cannot crawl, or to debug directives in your robots.txt file, use the blocked resources report in Search Console and the Fetch as Google and robots.txt Tester tools.
- Allow search bots to crawl your site without session IDs or URL parameters that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.
- Make your site's important content visible by default. Google is able to crawl HTML content hidden inside navigational elements such as tabs or expanding sections, however we consider this content less accessible to users, and believe that you should make your most important information visible in the default page view.
- Make a reasonable effort to ensure that advertisement links on your pages do not affect search engine rankings. For example, use robots.txt or rel="nofollow" to prevent advertisement links from being followed by a crawler.
Help visitors use your pages
- Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. If you must use images for textual content, use the alt attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.
- Ensure that all links go to live web pages. Use valid HTML.
- Optimize your page loading times. Fast sites make users happy and improve the overall quality of the web (especially for those users with slow Internet connections). Google recommends that you use tools like PageSpeed Insights and Webpagetest.org to test the performance of your page.
- Design your site for all device types and sizes, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Use the mobile friendly testing tool to test how well your pages work on mobile devices, and get feedback on what needs to be fixed.
- Ensure that your site appears correctly in different browsers.
- If possible, secure your site's connections with HTTPS. Encrypting interactions between the user and your website is a good practice for communication on the web.
- Ensure that your pages are useful for readers with visual impairments, for example, by testing usability with a screen-reader.
Quality guidelines
These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Google may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here. It's not safe to assume that just because a specific deceptive technique isn't included on this page, Google approves of it. Webmasters who spend their energies upholding the spirit of the basic principles will provide a much better user experience and subsequently enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit.
If you believe that another site is abusing Google's quality guidelines, please let us know by filing a spam report. Google prefers developing scalable and automated solutions to problems, so we attempt to minimize hand-to-hand spam fighting. While we may not take manual action in response to every report, spam reports are prioritized based on user impact, and in some cases may lead to complete removal of a spammy site from Google's search results. Not all manual actions result in removal, however. Even in cases where we take action on a reported site, the effects of these actions may not be obvious.
Basic principles
- Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines.
- Don't deceive your users.
- Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you, or to a Google employee. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"
- Think about what makes your website unique, valuable, or engaging. Make your website stand out from others in your field.
Specific guidelines
Avoid the following techniques:
- Automatically generated content
- Participating in link schemes
- Creating pages with little or no original content
- Cloaking
- Sneaky redirects
- Hidden text or links
- Doorway pages
- Scraped content
- Participating in affiliate programs without adding sufficient value
- Loading pages with irrelevant keywords
- Creating pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing or installing viruses, trojans, or other badware
- Abusing rich snippets markup
- Sending automated queries to Google
Follow good practices like these:
- Monitoring your site for hacking and removing hacked content as soon as it appears
- Preventing and removing user-generated spam on your site
If your site violates one or more of these guidelines, then Google may take manual action against it. Once you have remedied the problem, you can submit your site for reconsideration.

Benefits and Uses of Miter Gears
If you've ever looked into the differences between miter gears, you're probably wondering how to choose between a Straight toothed and Hypoid one. Before you decide, however, make sure you know about backlash and what it means. Backlash is the difference between the addendum and dedendum, and it prevents jamming of the gears, protects the mating gear surfaces, and allows for thermal expansion during operation.
Spiral bevel gears
Spiral bevel gears are designed to increase efficiency and reduce cost. The spiral shape creates a profile in which the teeth are cut with a slight curve along their length, making them an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications. Spiral bevel gears are also hypoid gears, with no offsets. Their smaller size means that they are more compact than other types of right-angle gears, and they are much quieter than other types of gear.
Spiral bevel gears feature helical teeth arranged in a 90-degree angle. The design features a slight curve to the teeth, which reduces backlash while increasing flexibility. Because they have no offsets, they won't slip during operation. Spiral bevel gears also have less backlash, making them an excellent choice for high-speed applications. They are also carefully spaced to distribute lubricant over a larger area. They are also very accurate and have a locknut design that prevents them from moving out of alignment.
In addition to the geometric design of bevel gears, CZPT can produce 3D models of spiral bevel gears. This software has gained widespread attention from many companies around the world. In fact, CZPT, a major manufacturer of 5-axis milling machines, recently machined a prototype using a spiral bevel gear model. These results prove that spiral bevel gears can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from precision machining to industrial automation.
Spiral bevel gears are also commonly known as hypoid gears. Hypoid gears differ from spiral bevel gears in that their pitch surface is not at the center of the meshing gear. The benefit of this gear design is that it can handle large loads while maintaining its unique features. They also produce less heat than their bevel counterparts, which can affect the efficiency of nearby components.
Straight toothed miter gears
Miter gears are bevel gears that have a pitch angle of 90 degrees. Their gear ratio is 1:1. Miter gears come in straight and spiral tooth varieties and are available in both commercial and high precision grades. They are a versatile tool for any mechanical application. Below are some benefits and uses of miter gears. A simple explanation of the basic principle of this gear type is given. Read on for more details.
When selecting a miter gear, it is important to choose the right material. Hard faced, high carbon steel is appropriate for applications requiring high load, while nylon and injection molding resins are suitable for lower loads. If a particular gear becomes damaged, it's advisable to replace the entire set, as they are closely linked in shape. The same goes for spiral-cut miter gears. These geared products should be replaced together for proper operation.
Straight bevel gears are the easiest to manufacture. The earliest method was using an indexing head on a planer. Modern manufacturing methods, such as the Revacycle and Coniflex systems, made the process more efficient. CZPT utilizes these newer manufacturing methods and patented them. However, the traditional straight bevel is still the most common and widely used type. It is the simplest to manufacture and is the cheapest type.
SDP/Si is a popular supplier of high-precision gears. The company produces custom miter gears, as well as standard bevel gears. They also offer black oxide and ground bore and tooth surfaces. These gears can be used for many industrial and mechanical applications. They are available in moderate quantities from stock and in partial sizes upon request. There are also different sizes available for specialized applications.
Hypoid bevel gears
The advantages of using Hypoid bevel and helical gears are obvious. Their high speed, low noise, and long life make them ideal for use in motor vehicles. This type of gear is also becoming increasingly popular in the power transmission and motion control industries. Compared to standard bevel and helical gears, they have a higher capacity for torque and can handle high loads with less noise.
Geometrical dimensioning of bevel/hypoid bevel gears is essential to meet ANSI/AGMA/ISO standards. This article examines a few ways to dimension hypoid bevel and helical gears. First, it discusses the limitations of the common datum surface when dimensioning bevel/helical gear pairs. A straight line can't be parallel to the flanks of both the gear and the pinion, which is necessary to determine "normal backlash."
Second, hypoid and helical gears have the same angular pitch, which makes the manufacturing process easier. Hypoid bevel gears are usually made of two gears with equal angular pitches. Then, they are assembled to match one another. This reduces noise and vibration, and increases power density. It is recommended to follow the standard and avoid using gears that have mismatched angular pitches.
Third, hypoid and helical gears differ in the shape of the teeth. They are different from standard gears because the teeth are more elongated. They are similar in appearance to spiral bevel gears and worm gears, but differ in geometry. While helical gears are symmetrical, hypoid bevel gears are non-conical. As a result, they can produce higher gear ratios and torque.
Crown bevel gears
The geometrical design of bevel gears is extremely complex. The relative contact position and flank form deviations affect both the paired gear geometry and the tooth bearing. In addition, paired gears are also subject to process-linked deviations that affect the tooth bearing and backlash. These characteristics require the use of narrow tolerance fields to avoid quality issues and production costs. The relative position of a miter gear depends on the operating parameters, such as the load and speed.
When selecting a crown bevel gear for a miter-gear system, it is important to choose one with the right tooth shape. The teeth of a crown-bevel gear can differ greatly in shape. The radial pitch and diametral pitch cone angles are the most common. The tooth cone angle, or "zerol" angle, is the other important parameter. Crown bevel gears have a wide range of tooth pitches, from flat to spiral.
Crown bevel gears for miter gear are made of high-quality materials. In addition to metal, they can be made of plastic or pre-hardened alloys. The latter are preferred as the material is less expensive and more flexible than steel. Furthermore, crown bevel gears for miter gears are extremely durable, and can withstand extreme conditions. They are often used to replace existing gears that are damaged or worn.
When selecting a crown bevel gear for a miter gear, it is important to know how they relate to each other. This is because the crown bevel gears have a 1:1 speed ratio with a pinion. The same is true for miter gears. When comparing crown bevel gears for miter gears, be sure to understand the radii of the pinion and the ring on the pinion.
Shaft angle requirements for miter gears
Miter gears are used to transmit motion between intersecting shafts at a right angle. Their tooth profile is shaped like the mitre hat worn by a Catholic bishop. Their pitch and number of teeth are also identical. Shaft angle requirements vary depending on the type of application. If the application is for power transmission, miter gears are often used in a differential arrangement. If you're installing miter gears for power transmission, you should know the mounting angle requirements.
Shaft angle requirements for miter gears vary by design. The most common arrangement is perpendicular, but the axes can be angled to almost any angle. Miter gears are also known for their high precision and high strength. Their helix angles are less than ten degrees. Because the shaft angle requirements for miter gears vary, you should know which type of shaft angle you require before ordering.
To determine the right pitch cone angle, first determine the shaft of the gear you're designing. This angle is called the pitch cone angle. The angle should be at least 90 degrees for the gear and the pinion. The shaft bearings must also be capable of bearing significant forces. Miter gears must be supported by bearings that can withstand significant forces. Shaft angle requirements for miter gears vary from application to application.
For industrial use, miter gears are usually made of plain carbon steel or alloy steel. Some materials are more durable than others and can withstand higher speeds. For commercial use, noise limitations may be important. The gears may be exposed to harsh environments or heavy machine loads. Some types of gears function with teeth missing. But be sure to know the shaft angle requirements for miter gears before you order one.

There once was a time when I was familiar with new music. And not just the popular top 40 tunes - though as a DJ that's a majority of what I played when my boss was around to listen, when he was out of range it was a completely different story - but the good music. The up and coming artists that few had heard of but whose reps were trying so desperately to get air play for.
Hey Bossman. Remember that time you wouldn't let me add that new group to our playlist? What were they called? Oh yeah, right. Belle and Sebastian. You were right, they were never going to catch on.
And I wonder if he remembers when he first hired me out of college how I had to fight him on this little album from a relatively unknown Virginia band - Crash. Yeah, that Dave Matthews Band. No future ahead for them, huh?
Dumb ass.
Back then I had music reps throwing CDs at me. We were a teeny, tiny radio station that barely got any play outside of our front door, we barely had enough wattage to power a hair dryer, but we had a decent relationship with most of the major and minor record companies. They felt charitable and, hey, even if only five people listen that's still five more potential buyers of their bands' albums.
Today is a long way from then. Light years. Today I have no idea who half of the bands are on everyone's year end lists. So many lists! So many opportunities to feel like a musical dumb ass. My christ, I'm turning into my old boss.
So please help a woman out. What were your absolute favorite albums, artists or bands of 2007? And please tell me why. I could go to Rolling Stone and start downloading their faves off of iTunes but I'd bankrupt myself. I want to hear from real people, not music critics, why you love these songs. Let's face it, some music critics are - um - influenced in ways. The way I see it, if you paid for the album and continued to love it whether or not anyone was waiting for you to write something positive about it then those are the albums I want to know about.
I do have some requirements:
- The songs must be suitable for playing in front of my two year old since I do the majority of my listening in the car or while I'm making dinner/cleaning the house. She doesn't have to like them, but every other word can't be "f*ck this" or "c*cksucker that". Know what I mean? That pretty much leaves rap out.
- Do not, and I really mean DO NOT, recommend anything from the country charts. It's not going to happen. I'm intrigued by Lucinda Williams' latest album, and I suppose she could be labeled as country, but she's Lucinda Williams. 'Nuff said if you ask me.
- If you're wondering where my musical tastes lie these days, a few of my favorite downloads from this year were from Iron and Wine, the new Robert Plant/Alison Krass album, and the music from the movie "Once". Especially that last one. Those are some pretty mellow examples but I'm fairly mellow these days (see the first requirement). However, if you have an opinion on the new Linkin Park album I would like to know about that.
- The music doesn't have to be radio-friendly. I like the indie stuff. It makes me feel young and hip. (I don't want to hear that no one who is truly hip actually uses the word "hip". They probably don't use the word "groovy" either. Lalalalalala.)
My credit card thanks you.
Due to the holidays and my general laziness the ROFL Awards are being postponed this month and will be picked up again next month. That means you get to nominate funny posts from either December or January! I'll be bugging you all about that again later. Oh yes, there will be bugging.
