Comments about Blick Studio Fitch Brushes:
I've always liked the versatility of the pointed style filberts often found with sables/kolinsky, however I rarely see this tip style with synthetic/blend alternatives. With that, & already having decent experience with a few blick brand kolinskys, I thought I'd give these a try.Rather disappointingly, I immediately found them to be completely useless. As soon as the "hairspray" is washed out, that nice tip shape is gone. Within only a couple strokes of trying to use it, many hairs immediately fray off whichever way they please. They make no attempt to hold their shape at all. The biggest problem though, and what makes them useless for me, is they have no spring whatsoever. Any stroke you make the brush just flops over like limp wet mop.They may be suitable for some drybrush work or as a sort of mop brush for wc or something, but as an alternative to sables for oil, these are worthless. I take no pleasure in ragging on stuff, but I honestly would not buy these again at any price.
Merchant response: We want you to know that you are entitled to a complete refund for any of our products that do not meet your expectations. Our Customer Care team is happy to help. Please contact us at 1-800-723-2787 for further assistance.
These are great
By Kyle C
from New City, NY
The blick store near me has these on clearance for some reason so I decided to buy a size 10 bright and it is awesome. It is perfect for blending and making subtle brush strokes. I also bought an eclipse round so I'll compare the two to see which is better quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ready in 45 minutes
Try this Butterflied Baked Shrimp recipe, or contribute your own.
18 people want to try | 47 have favorited
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they burn very quickly. Remove from the oven and cool. Raise the oven to 500 degrees F.
Butterfly the shrimp by slicing from the tail to the front on the top of the shrimp, where the vein was. Slice as deep as possible without cutting all the way through. Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through. These slits will prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Mix together the oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and garlic. Add the garlic herb mixture to the bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Brush a large oven proof skillet with some of the melted butter, coating the bottom well. Dip the shrimp in the butter, opened side down, and then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing so they stick. Place the shrimp, bread crumb side up, in the skillet in 1 layer.
When all of the shrimp are in the pan, drizzle the top with a little more of the melted butter. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
Toss the arugula with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place 4 shrimp around each pile of arugula. Drizzle with more butter, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

This publication reports on trends in the steelmaking capacity of economies that are not members of the OECD. It examines existing capacity and investments that will lead to changes by 2014, with detailed tables on equipment, starting dates of planned projects, and works ownership.
This self-assessment report looks at South Africa's investment regime in the light of the OECD Codes of Liberalisation and the principle of National Treatment.
The report presents the potential of new nanomaterials and highlights the remaining challenges for their safe and sustainable introduction in the tyre industry.
This page lists OECD investment policy tools intended to help governments interested in creating an attractive investment environment and in enhancing the development benefits of investment to society.
As the significance of the creative economy continues to grow, important synergies with tourism are emerging, offering considerable potential to grow demand and develop new products, experiences and markets.These new links are driving a shift from conventional models of cultural tourism to new models of creative tourism based on intangible culture and contemporary creativity. This report examines the growing relationship between the tourism and creative sectors to guide the development of effective policies in this area. Drawing on recent case studies, it considers how to strengthen these linkages and take advantage of the opportunities to generate added value. Active policies are needed so that countries, regions and cities can realise the potential benefits from linking tourism and creativity. Key policy issues are identified.
This paper examines shareholder claims for reflective loss under investment treaties in light of comparative analysis of advanced systems of corporate law; considers the impact of allowing shareholder claims for reflective loss on key characteristics of the business corporation; and explores possible responses by different categories of investors to the availability of shareholder claims for reflective loss under investment treaties.
Investment treaties are often thought to be silent on investors' responsibilities to host societies and on their contributions to sustainable development. This paper establishes a factual and statistical basis for understanding the relationship between investment treaty law and governments' ability to advance the sustainable development agenda and promote responsible business conduct.
New nanomaterials offer promising avenues for future innovation, which can contribute towards the sustainability and resource efficiency of the tyre industry. Yet uncertainty over environmental health and safety (EHS) risks appears to be a main and continuous concern for the development of new nanomaterials in tyre production, even for those closest to market. Lack of sector-specific guidance represents a major gap.
Global Value Chains (GVCs) are a dominant feature of the world economy that impact growth, jobs and development, but numerous challenges remain to ensure that all countries and all firms have the opportunity to participate and benefit.

The 3 Variable Funny Test
Their result for The 3 Variable Funny Test ...
the Wit
(62% dark, 23% spontaneous, 21% vulgar)
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.
Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.
You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

Great modeling! But the lighting could be better, I think

Great work for a night western scenario, I love it. Nice comfortable music track, modeling and flyby; and I'm concerned about the lighting though.

My website, Private Tux Area, is vanished due to long inactivity as a result of my long hiatus since late 2014, but backed up
on my personal HDD. I will bring a new unreal name and a new website for modernization look but limited space.
On hiatus since late 2014 as my laptop cooler is broken over spilled coffee but other things still functional. I'm not dead yet.
My voice packs for UT99 and UT2004 are upgrading into 'advanced' form as my new PC and laptop are coming soon.
Please don't send me any questions via e-mail/PM on the Internet. I'm a busy man and no time to respond those messages.
The music does not fit at all. You might even be better off with environment sound instead of a backing track.
Thank you everyone for your feedback and comments! I took everything into account, and just want to comment on the lighting. For some reason,my 3Dmax 2012, 64bit would crash every time I made a second UV for my models. So When it came to lighting the environment, I had a very difficult time. I am going to continue to troubleshoot my 3dmax, maybe switching to 32 bit would work better.
Anyway, I plan on adding a storm and increasing atmosphere as much as possible.
I am always open to feedback, so feel free to leave some still.

Por Dominik Seibold
Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar Apps.
Mosaic Creator lets you very easily create high-quality mosaic images which show a photo you choose by putting together all your photos on your iPhone or iPad. Because of its carefully optimized memory-management it can easily cope with very large photo-libraries with 10,000 photos and more, without leaving any photo out.
You can enable/disable individual photo-albums of your library for using as tile-image source. There are also some carefully chosen options for optimizing the mosaic-generation like whether or not to optimize the colors of the individual tiles, minimizing the usage of the same tiles and specifying the tile-size.
You see an interactive real-time preview of the mosaic while it is created. You can also let the generation happen in background while you are doing other things with your iPhone or iPad. Then you will be notified, when the mosaic is done. The result can be saved to the photo library in full resolution.

Martha Tour Dates
Martha UK Tour Dates! New album out July 1st in N. America!
Martha "Blisters In The Pit Of My Heart" LP Out Now! First 300 on red vinyl, mailorder-only!
Over eleven expertly crafted pop songs, produced once again by MJ from Hookworms, Martha returns with their second album, Blisters In The Pit Of My Heart, explores the difficulties in staying political, passionate and punk. Hailing from the small town of Pity Me, UK, Martha plays energetic, impassioned power pop with intricate vocals and lush four-part harmonies, informed by '90s indie rock and contemporary garage punk. The band is J. Cairns (guitar), Daniel Ellis (guitar; Onsind), Naomi Griffin (bass; No Ditching), and Nathan Stephens Griffin (drums; Onsind).
Their debut album Courting Strong came out in 2014 and was included in NPR's top 50 albums of that year, winning them the epithet, "One of Britain's best rock bands." If the band's first album was about punks growing up, then Blisters In The Pit Of My Heart is about grown-ups staying punk, trying to stay creative and passionate, and making the most of everything in spite of the many obstacles that get in the way. It finds strength and solace in friendships, love, and motivation from the people in your life who really inspire you. Influenced by bands like The Replacements, Heart, Billy Bragg, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, The Go-Go's and Radiator Hospital, the album bursts into life with "Christine," inspired by the 1980's British TV drama Threads about nuclear war. It's followed by the rousing "Chekhov's Hangnail," with backing vocals from Ellis Jones of Trust Fund. Catchy "Precarious (The Supermarket Song)" finds romance in the washing powder aisle, while "Goldman's Detective Agency" re-imagines 19th century anarchist Emma Goldman as a private eye vanquishing corrupt cops and politicians. Every song here is a potential single, from the infectious outsider anthem "The Awkward Ones" to the Billy Bragg / Coronation Street-referencing "Curly and Raquel."
The album concludes with "St Paul's (Westerberg Comprehensive)," about being caught up in the toxic culture of a Catholic comprehensive school. "It's for the kids who had the guts to be queer at school and for those who didn't figure themselves out until they got out of school." Passion and love drip out of every second of Blisters In The Pit Of My Heart.
We will not be selling this digitally on Bandcamp, but you can always download from Itunes, stream on Spotify, or paypal us $8, and we'll send ya WAV files.

Blame Canada. Or for that matter, Ottawa. The Capital's kings of punk- power-fuzz are back and better than ever. After a whack of records and worldwide touring, "Graceland" is Adamyk's most dynamic and cohesive record to date, without breaking the mould. Colleen Green (Hardly Art) sings on it, Mike Krol (Merge) croons on it and members of Sonic Avenues are now staples in the band.
This time, the band bunkered down in Montreal with engineer Adrian Popivich (Solids, The Dears) to bring Graceland to life. In the meantime, scream along to "Through My Fingers", or get lost in the depths of "High Mile"; the choice is yours.

Download here: https://dirtnaprecords.bandcamp.com/album/mind-spiders-prosthesis
Fourth album in 5 years from Mark Ryan's shadowy, shape-shifting "solo" band.
Based in Ft. Worth, TX, Mind Spider's launched pretty much immediately after Mark's last project, the well-loved, highly-influential Marked Men went on indefinite hiatus at the beginning of 2009. (and Dirtnap Records agreed to put out their debut 7" and LP before even hearing the band!)
Earliest recordings were Mark playing more-or-less everything (except drums on some tracks), but since then the Mind Spiders lineup has been continually evolving, with Mark remaining the sole songwriter and constant member.
On this album, the lineup is Mark Ryan (Marked Men, Radioactivity, High Tension Wires, etc), Daniel Fried (Bad Sports, Radioactivity, Video, High Tension Wires, etc), Mike Throneberry (Marked Men) and Peter Salisbury (Baptist Generals/Sub Pop Records). Currently, the live band is a guitar-keyboard/drum 3 piece featuring Mark, Mike and Peter.
Each Mind Spiders album has been different from the last. With that said, Prosthesis is probably a bit less of a stylistic departure from their last album (Inhumanistic, 2013) than from previous work. The album clocks in at a brief 8 tracks, however the songs tend to run a little longer than normal, really giving the individual songs room to breathe and grow.
Keyboard and guitar blend seamlessly into ominous, bleak (yet somehow still super catchy!) dark pop explorations, also incorporating postpunk, bedroom pop, krautrock, and tons of other obscure references along the way.
The first Mind Spiders album to be recorded at Mark and Jeff Burke's (Radioactivity, Marked Men) new Cool Devices studio in Ft. Worth, this is easily their best, fullest sounding effort yet! Prosthesis also is the first Mind Spiders album to be mastered by Mark himself.

"Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?"
The Nasadiya Sukta (after the incipit ná ásat, or "not the non-existent"), also known as the Hymn of Creation, is the 129th hymn of the 10th Mandala of the Rigveda (10:129). It is concerned with cosmology and the origin of the universe.[4]
|Part of a series on
Text classification
The hymn has attracted a large body of literature of commentaries both in Indian theology and in Western philology.[5]
The Creation Hymn begins by paradoxically stating "not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then" (ná ásat āsīt ná u sát āsīt tadânīm), paralleled in verse 2 by "then not death existed, nor the immortal" (ná mṛtyúḥ āsīt amŕtam ná tárhi). But already in verse 2 mention is made that there was "breathing without breath, of its own nature, that one" ânīt avātám svadháyā tát ékam). In verse 3, being unfolds, "from heat (tapas) was born that one" (tápasaḥ tát mahinâ ajāyata ékam). Verse 4 mentions desire (kāma) as the primal seed, and the first poet-seers (kavayas) who "found the bond of being within non-being with their heart's thought".
Karel Werner describes the author's source for the material as one not derived from reasoning, but a "visionary, mystical or Yogic experience put into words." Werner writes that prior to creation, the Creation Hymn does not describe a state of "nothingness" but rather "That One (tad ekam)" which is, "Spaceless, timeless, yet in its own way dynamic and the Sole Force, this Absolute..."[6]
Brereton (1999) argues that the reference to the sages searching for being in their spirit is central, and that the hymn's gradual procession from non-being to being in fact re-enacts creation within the listener (see sphoṭa), equating poetic utterance and creation (see śabda).
The hymn is undoubtedly late within the Rigveda, and expresses thought more typical of later Indian philosophy.[7]
An atheist interpretation sees the Creation Hymn as one of the earliest accounts of skeptical inquiry and agnosticism.[8] Astronomer Carl Sagan quoted it in discussing India's "tradition of skeptical questioning and unselfconscious humility before the great cosmic mysteries."[9]
Nasadiya Sukta consists of seven trishtubhs, although pada 7b is defective, being two syllables short,
Brereton (1999) argues that the defect is a conscious device employed by the rishi to express puzzlement at the possibility that the world may not be created, parallel to the syntactic defect of pada 7d, which ends in a subordinate clause without a governing clause:
Translated by A. L. Basham.
नासदासीन्नो सदासीत्तदानीं नासीद्रजो नो व्योमा परो यत् ।
किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्नम्भः किमासीद्गहनं गभीरम् ॥ १॥
Then even nothingness was not, nor existence,
There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it.
What covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping?
Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed?
न मृत्युरासीदमृतं न तर्हि न रात्र्या अह्न आसीत्प्रकेतः ।
आनीदवातं स्वधया तदेकं तस्माद्धान्यन्न परः किञ्चनास ॥२॥
Then there was neither death nor immortality
nor was there then the torch of night and day.
The One breathed windlessly and self-sustaining.
There was that One then, and there was no other.
तम आसीत्तमसा गूहळमग्रे प्रकेतं सलिलं सर्वाऽइदम् ।
तुच्छ्येनाभ्वपिहितं यदासीत्तपसस्तन्महिनाजायतैकम् ॥३॥
At first there was only darkness wrapped in darkness.
All this was only unillumined water.
That One which came to be, enclosed in nothing,
arose at last, born of the power of heat.
कामस्तदग्रे समवर्तताधि मनसो रेतः प्रथमं यदासीत् ।
सतो बन्धुमसति निरविन्दन्हृदि प्रतीष्या कवयो मनीषा ॥४॥
In the beginning desire descended on it -
that was the primal seed, born of the mind.
The sages who have searched their hearts with wisdom
know that which is kin to that which is not.
तिरश्चीनो विततो रश्मिरेषामधः स्विदासीदुपरि स्विदासीत् ।
रेतोधा आसन्महिमान आसन्त्स्वधा अवस्तात्प्रयतिः परस्तात् ॥५॥
And they have stretched their cord across the void,
and know what was above, and what below.

Astrid McGuire, a trainer for Barry's Bootcamp, swears these exercises will give you bigger-looking, perkier breasts in no time.
How to Find Your Ideal Weight
Whether you're a AA or DD, everyone wants their boobs to be nice and perky. There's an easy way to give your tatas a lift (without shelling out for a new bra). Astrid McGuire, a trainer for Barry's Bootcamp, swears these exercises will give you bigger-looking, perkier breasts in no time.More
Using five to 10-pound weights as handles, hold your body up in a pushup position, with your legs wider than hip width for more stability. Lift your right arm, holding the weight up, and open your body all the way to the right making a "T" shape with your body. Return to your starting position and do the same on left side. That's one rep. Do 10 to 20 reps.
Lay down on your back, pressing your spine down with your abs pulled in tightly. Grasp a five to 10 pound weight in each hand. Extend your arms straight up turning your palms to face inward, keeping your elbows tight against your the body. Inhale, and lower the weights down to one inch above your chest. Then exhale and press up. Repeat this 20 to 40 times.
Lay down on your back, holding the weights right above your forehead with your palms facing up. Then, draw a mirrored letter "C" in the air, heading towards your hips and keeping your arms low. Keep your palms up and trace your arms back to the starting position. Repeat this 10 to 20 times.

This invention relates to the spiral wrapping of a strip of material around an axis and, more specifically, to the winding of a prepunched strip of material around a rotating mandrel in order to produce a motor core with radial slots.
A spirally wound core with radial slots is a requirement for the stator of an axial airgap motor. The cores are produced by winding a long, thin strip of steel around a mandrel or arbor. As the strip is wrapped around the rotating mandrel, the radial thickness of the toroidally shaped core continually increases until the finished size is achieved.
Since motor stators are designed to allow conductive coils to be wound within them, they are typically equipped with a plurality of radial slots in one axial face of the core. There are two ways to produce a core with radial slots. One way is to wind a slotless core and then machine the radial slots after it is wound. An alternative is to punch the slot shape into the metal strip with a punch press before winding so that the consecutive punched layers of the metal strip form the radial slots by aligning themselves with corresponding slots in preceding, radially inboard layers as the core is wound.
The machining method has two significant negative characteristics inherent in its use. It is very costly since it requires two separate and distinct serial operations to be performed on the core and, secondly, the resulting machined inner surfaces of the radial slots are not ideal for motor core performance. These inner surfaces, which are intended to be made up of many individual thin edges of the strip material, tend to become smooth and homogeneous from the machining operation, significantly worsening the eddy current loss characteristics of the core.
The prepunching alternative is made difficult by the ever increasing diameter of the core as it is being wound on the mandrel. Since each layer of material is wrapped around all preceding layers, its effective diameter is larger than that of previous layers with a resulting larger circumference. Each of the radial slots passes through each layer one time and, therefore, the number of slots through each layer is identical to that of every other layer. Because of the above-mentioned increasing circumference of outer layers and the slot number identity, the distance between each slot in the strip of material must be increased from that of the preceding slots. If these increasing dimensions are not accurately maintained, the resulting slots will be skewed instead of radially straight. Although some motor designs require skewed slots, the slots of any motor, whether with radial or skewed slots must be accurately produced according to the motor's design.
Stacking factor is another characteristic of laminated composites which severely exacerbates the skewing problem and is known to those skilled in the art. The stacking factor of a given material is defined as the arithmetic sum of the thicknesses of a selected number of pieces of the material divided by the measured stack height of that selected number of pieces. The stacking factor varies as a function of material thickness, coating and surface condition and is normally less than one.
Existing methods of motor core manufacture compensate for slot skew by coil winding techniques or by designing the overall motor to allow for the inherent inefficiency of skewed stator core slots. The present invention has as its prime objective the winding of axial airgap stator cores, with prepunched strips, that have straight and radial slots and the capability of creating a predetermined amount of skew when that characteristic is desired.
In order to achieve a core with radial slots that exhibit minimal or no skew, the present invention causes each interslot space in the prepunched strip to be slightly larger than previous interslot gaps by an accurately predetermined distance. Rather than attempting to determine and control the absolute magnitude of these interslot gaps, the present invention precisely accomplishes the relative increase in interslot distance for each slot without regard to its absolute length.
The present invention provides for this relative increase in interslot length by moving the winding mandrel away from the punch press a slight amount prior to each stroke of the punch press. The exact distance that the mandrel is moved is determined as a function of the strip's thickness as measured prior to the punching of the material.
Following each stroke of the punch press, the mandrel is rotated an arcuate distance which is equal to 360 degrees divided by the number of radial slots in the core. This rotation of the mandrel causes a length of strip material to be pulled through the punch press. Simultaneous with this rotation, the mandrel is moved a small distance away from the press. Therefore, the strip moves through the punch press a total amount which is the result of both the arcuate and the linear movement of the mandrel. This total movement provides for the next slot to be punched in a position on the strip material which will align with previously punched slots in a radial configuration.
The two mandrel movements described above provide for two distinct components of each interslot gap. The arcuate motion operates in conjunction with the stacked radial thickness of the partially stacked core to pull a length of strip material which is determined as a function of the number of layers already wound along with the effective stacking factor of those layers. It also compensates for any irregularities, such as bulges, which may exist in the wound layers. These factors do not have to be measured or estimated since their very existence creates the radial distance which is moved over the arcuate path. The linear distance which is pulled by the arcuate motion is therefore the exact distance required for the layer being wound. However, the layer being punched will lie radially outward from the layer being wound. This difference is compensated for by the above mentioned simultaneous linear motion of the mandrel away from the punch press. This linear distance is equal to the result obtained from the equation:
where T is the measured thickness of the strip immediately prior to punching, N is the number of radial slots in the core, F is the stacking factor of the punched strip material and ΔL is the amount that the interslot gap must increase as compared to the previously punched slot's interslot gap in the immediately preceding layer.
By moving the mandrel both arcuately and linearly on every stroke of the punch press, the interslot gap can be progressively increased and radial slots with a minimal controlled skew or no skew are thus produced.
The present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment read in conjunction with the following figures, in which:
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical stator core for an axial air gap motor which the present invention is capable of winding;
FIG. 2 is a depiction of an axial air gap motor stator core showing the prepunched strip material with unequally spaced slots punched thereon;
FIG. 3 is an exemplary illustration of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the mandrel of FIG. 3.
The present invention relates to the winding of a prepunched strip of material in such a way as to align the punches radially in the wound assembly and, more particularly, to the punching and winding of stator cores for axial air gap motors.
FIG. 1 depicts a typical core 10 which the present invention is designed to produce. It is a laminated toroid produced by repeatedly wrapping a strip of material around a mandrel which is approximately the size of the core's inside diameter M. The strip of material has slots 12 prepunched into it which are spaced in such a way that, when wound, the slots 12 align radially as shown in FIG. 1. The slots 12 are depicted as being generally rectangular but it should be apparent from the following discussion that slots of virtually any geometric shape can be accomodated by the present invention if they are suitable for punching by a punch press. The characteristic which makes this type of core 10 difficult to manufacture is the varying interslot gap 14 which varies from its minimum dimension S at the inside diameter to its maximum dimension L at its outside diameter. Although the slot dimensions and shape (e.g. width W in this example) remain constant, the interslot gap 14 must continuously increase as the core 10 is wound. It should be apparent to one skilled in the art that if the interslot gap were to remain constant throughout the winding operation the slots would be skewed instead of radially straight as shown in FIG. 1. In cases where no skew is desirable, the characteristics of the resultant core would be negatively affected if the slots were inadvertently skewed. It should also be apparent that if the slots were machined after winding, as an alternative to the present invention, the internal slot walls 16 and 17, would be physically altered in such a way as to deleteriously affect the core's eddy current characteristics. It is therefore beneficial, both economically and in view of the core's electrical properties, to wind the core after punching the slots. The present invention allows for the accurate alignment of these prepunched slots and the above-described advantages inherent in this method.
To further elaborate on the specific requirements of machines which perform the function of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows a core 10 as it would appear during the winding operation. In order for the slots 12 to align radially in the wound portion of the core, the prepunched slots 12a must be positioned relative to each other in such a way as to provide for continuously expanding interslot gaps 20a through 20e, as shown. The strip 22 is wound in the direction D in conformance with the rotation of the wound portion of the core 10 in direction R. As explained above, the interslot gap 20b must be incrementally larger than the prior one 20a. This progression continues throughout the entire length of the strip 22, 20c being larger than 20b, 20d being larger than 20c and so on until the core is completely wound.
FIG. 3 depicts an exemplary layout of the present invention. A strip 22 of material is fed through the punch 30 and die 32 of a punch press 34 which sequentially punches slots 12a into the strip 22. The punch press 34 causes a rotation of shaft 36 with each stroke of the punch 30. The shaft 36 is connected to an intermittor 38 which produces one-half revolution of shaft 40 followed by a dwell for each revolution of shaft 36. Shaft 40 is connected to the mandrel 42 through gears 44 and 46. The ratios of the intermittor 38 and gears 44 and 46 are chosen to provide a rotation of the mandrel 42 that equals the desired arcuate distance between radial slots 12 for each stroke of the punch 30. The intermittor 38, gears 44 and 46 and mandrel 42 are all shown, in FIG. 3, mounted in a frame 48. It should be apparent from this exemplary drawing that, for each arcuate movement of the mandrel 42 in the direction R, the strip 22 is caused to be pulled through the punch 30 and die 32 of the punch press 34 for a distance determined solely by the momentary radius of the partially wound core 10 and the arcuate movement of the mandrel 42. The mandrel 42, connected to the frame 48, is also caused to linearly move away from the punch 30 in the direction D by a leadscrew 50 threaded through the frame 48. One end of the leadscrew is connected to a stepping motor 56 through gears 52 and 53. One stepping pulse of the stepping motor 56 will move the mandrel 42 a specific distance away from the punch 30. This specific incremental distance can be accurately determined by an appropriate choice of the ratios of gears 52 and 53 and the thread pitch of the leadscrew 50.
Prior to its beng punched, the thickness of the strip 22 is measured by a thickness gage 58. The result of this measurement is used to determine the number of stepping pulses which the stepping motor 56 receives following each stroke of the punch 30. Since the variation of strip thickness is generally slow as a function of time, the stepping motor can be adjusted manually based on the output of the thickness gage 58 or automatically, with electronic circuitry, as indicated by the dashed line 60. The result of the thickness measurement determines the amount of movement of the stepping motor 56 and a switching means 62 determines when the stepping motor is activated. Connected to a continuation of the shaft 36 which activates the intermittor 38 is a switching means 62 which sends a signal to activate the stepping motor 56 once for each punch of the punch press 34. This signal, illustrated by dashed line 64, can be a cam activated switch or electronic circuitry.
In order to maintain tautness of the strip 22, a magnetic brake 66 is positioned in front of the thickness gage 58. This brake 66 helps to maintain the dimensional accuracy of both the thickness gage 58 and the punch press 34.
The distance between the mandrel 42 and the punch 30 is generally chosen to be equal to one circumferential distance around the mandrel 42 before the winding operation begins but this distance is not critical to the operation of the present invention. Before the winding operation is commenced, a small number of slots 12a are punched in the strip 22 with an interslot distance equal to that of the innermost core layer. The strip 22 is then secured to the mandrel 42 and the winding operation begins. The strip 22 material wound during this setup operation, which is generally one or two layers, is sacrificial and removed after the core 10 is completely wound. It should be apparent to one skilled in the art that if the slots 12 in the sacrificial layers are aligned properly, the distance between the punch 30 and the mandrel 42 is not a critical dimension since all subsequent movements of the mandrel 42 are relative, and not absolute, as described above.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the mandrel 42 of FIG. 3. FIG. 4 shows a pin 70 disposed in a radial hole 72 in the mandrel. The pin 70 is positioned in a manner so as to extend through a radial slot of the core 10, following the initial setup procedure, as it is being wound on the mandrel 42. A wedge 74 is disposed within the mandrel so that a sloped surface 76 of the wedge 74 is in sliding contact with the innermost terminus of the pin 70. As the mandrel 42 turns, the wedge 74 turns with it. A threaded shaft 78 passes through the wedge 74 in such a way that its rotation with the mandrel 42 causes the wedge 74 to move in the direction X and force the pin 70 radially outward through the mandrel and into the core slot. This pin serves the dual purposes of providing a tangential force on the strip and in maintaining an alignment check on the radially aligned slots. Although not an absolute necessity to the proper functioning of the present invention, the pin 70 helps to guarantee the straightness of the resulting radial slots. Any subsequent movement of the slot position relative to the pin 70 will be due to a variation in the strip material's stacking factor. This variation can be visually observed or automatically monitored and the functional relationship between the linear mandrel movement and strip thickness can be altered as shown in the equation described above.
The slope of the surface 76 and the pitch of the threaded shaft 78 are chosen in such a way as to move the pin 70 a radial distance approximately equivalent to the thickness of one layer of the strip material for each revolution of the mandrel. Thus, as the thickness of the core increases, the pin extends radially an amount to provide both alignment and a positive tangential force on the strip.
In the above discussion and illustrations, a simple, rectangular slot shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was depicted. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that more complex slot configurations, which are common in axial airgap stators can also be produced on the present invention.
It should be obvious that the present invention provides a means for winding prepunched strip material into a toroidal shape while assuring accurate alignment of radial slots. The present invention accomplishes this by accurately moving the winding mandrel and punch press apart. It should also be obvious that, although the present invention has been described in considerable detail, it should not be construed to be so limited.
The present invention, as disclosed herein, could be applied to produce cores with radial holes passing therethrough as well as the slots, described above, which are coterminal with one axial face of the core. It should be obvious that the utility of the present invention is not dependent on the slot shape, material or punching means, but on its capability of producing wound laminated assemblies with radially aligned discontinuities which have been placed in the strip material prior to the winding operation. It should further be obvious that, when skewed slots are desired, the method and apparatus described herein enable their production in a manner that removes the randomness which is inherent in previous prepunching and winding methods.

HOUSE PROUD; All in the Extended Family
Published: August 12, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
From magazines, they progressed to Coconut Company, Salon Moderne, Moss and other furniture stores within blocks of the loft, where they would weigh selections to see whether he had taste he could afford. In time, they purchased a pair of well-priced Hans Wegner side chairs that epitomized Mr. Schlackman's newfound style, and the process was set in motion.
To delineate the primary living space, they first selected a rug, a tan Greek key-patterned wool Tibetan. The rug, in turn, dictated the next decision, which was to ebonize the floor. ''When we put it down, and the floors were light,'' Mr. Schlackman said, ''it sort of died.''
Because the entrance opened directly into the apartment, with a wall to the left and the living area to the immediate right, Mr. Filicia decided to create what he called a ''virtual'' hallway, by staining the 42-inch-wide strip of floor that flows from the front door to the rear bedroom area a lighter red oak color. He also extended the metallic-silver paint on the left-hand wall the same 42 inches onto the ceiling, strengthening the sense of a separate zone.
''I could be 100,000 years old, and I would never think of that,'' Mr. Schlackman said. He was equally pleased with the nine-inch-deep glass-topped box of birch plywood Mr. Filicia had built and installed behind the sofa. ''It was just this big couch against this big wall,'' Mr. Schlackman continued. ''The box is almost like a frame.''
He resisted, however, when the designer selected three metallic-finish paints for different parts of the room. What changed his mind was the realization that Mr. Filicia was apportioning the budget wisely -- painting the offending plasterboard built-ins an elegant dark green, rather than replacing them with costly construction.
Mr. Schlackman also recognized that working with a designer, as with any creative partnership, demands faith. ''I sort of had to let it go and see what happened,'' he said. ''I couldn't tell him no, having no idea what I was talking about.'' The result, which includes a gold wall in the dining area, gives the long, slightly boxy space sparkle and variation.
Inevitably, work and play began to blur. At Mr. Schlackman's Sunday dinner parties, friends drift in and out of the open kitchen, cooking and eating around the center island. A conventional dinner table, he and Mr. Filicia observed, would never do. The solution was Mr. Lowe's oval-shaped, anodized-aluminum and steel dining table with a top that moves hydraulically up and down. Mr. Schlackman keeps it at the island's height, with tall dining chairs. For a more formal living situation, the table can be lowered and chairs exchanged.
A persistent problem was finding a cocktail table large enough to accommodate the 12-foot sofa. At Ligne Roset, he discovered a stainless steel-topped table with a bench that nests beneath it that worked perfectly. When within weeks the top became scratched, Mr. Schlackman, encouraged by his designer, decided to refinish it himself, using a fine-grain sandpaper for a uniform patina. Mr. Filicia added a glass top.
Most satisfying, for both men, was the feedback from their extended family. ''Everything would be validated when all the friends would come over,'' Mr. Schlackman said. ''It was kind of nice.''
The process, and the result, have given Mr. Schlackman not just an esthetic and an education but also a home that suits his needs. Work will begin soon on the second phase of the design, the bedroom and master bath. And his old furniture? Mr. Schlackman smiles with evident satisfaction. ''I'm giving it to my parents.''
Magic in the Makeover
THE tools to try some of Thom Filicia's ideas are as close as the nearest hardware store, but the techniques require care and patience.
For best results, the Ralph Lauren Duchesse Satin metallic-finish paint that Mr. Filicia used ($36.99 a gallon at Janovic Plaza) should be applied, over a standard base coat of semi-gloss enamel, with a high-volume, low-pressure spray gun, in several light coats. (Ralph Lauren recommends thinning the paint first, with water or a conditioner called Floetrol; for more details: 800-379-7656). You can use a roller, but Mike Geyda, the owner of Independent Island Contracting in Seaford, N.Y. (516-783-1573), who painted Mr. Schlackman's loft, said that Duchesse Satin is ''soupy'' and that it requires three or four carefully applied coats to eliminate roller edges and to achieve a uniform patina.
Mr. Geyda, the general contractor for the job, built the simple behind-the-sofa birch plywood box (about $2 a square foot) and attached a power strip to one side to compensate for the outlet that he covered. To make a perfect floor line between the virtual hallway and living room (detail above), he meticulously laid down a strip of painter's masking tape with a minimally invasive adhesive backing, to avoid damaging the newly sanded floor. For the living room, he ragged on a coat of Minwax Ebony stain ($7.69 a quart at Janovic) and let it dry. Then he moved the tape to the other side of the line and ragged on two coats of Minwax Red Oak stain for the hallway. Both were covered with three coats of water-based Varathane ($60.39 a gallon at Janovic), which Mr. Geyda said dries quickly and doesn't yellow.
The dining table, with a black anodized-aluminum top and a base of cold-rolled steel, was designed by John Lowe (212-473-4829) and fabricated by Product and Design (718-858-2440). It can be raised from a standard height of 29 inches to 37 1/2 inches, using what Mr. Lowe called ''a very strong version of a standard office chair lift.''
