Only Dumb Kids Can Make Smoking Popular Again
Looking for more proof that America's overall masculinity level is now somewhere down around Switzerland's panty line, these days? Fewer than one in five Americans now are smokers. Including girls, even. How can we fix this? One tobacco company has an idea: "cigarettes." The cigars of a new generation!
With smoking being increasingly demonized in environments in which it used to be considered "cool," Big Evil Tobacco Company Lorillard needs a hot new product that will give smoking's popularity a shot in the arm, of cancer (and money). I guess the popularity of snus has not exploded as quickly as forecast? Haha. Lorillard is not messing with pansy mouth tobacco. Lorillard is successfully bringing back cigarettes by just being obstinate and continuing to sell more and more and more cigarettes, forever. Can this wacky strategy succeed?
But Lorillard, maker of the Newport brand, is sticking to a strategy of selling only cigarettes, and so far it's paying off: Cigarette shipments at the No. 3 U.S. tobacco company are up for the second year in a row, and revenue rose 9.1% to $4.85 billion in the 2011 nine months. Volume, meanwhile, rose 7.4% in the period, while it sank roughly 5% at both Altria and Reynolds. Lorillard's overall share of the U.S. cigarette market is up to 14% from 11% in 2008.
So all those nonbelieving tobacco companies that ran off and started selling lip-pouch tobacco at the first sign of trouble are suffering, while Lorillard, which manned up and bravely stood by its Newports through the hard times, is now succeeding. There's a lesson there, America. "Lorillard has benefited because its smokers are younger on average... 45% of smokers 12 to 17 years old used menthol brands."
When times get tough, take advantage of kids. They're easy.

We just posted some new products to the Product Showcase that we think you will be interested in.
First, we would like to point out that HEIDENHAIN's product range of absolute rotary encoders of the 400 Series are now available with interface to Fanuc controls. Designed specifically for direct connection to Fanuc controls with α and αi interfaces, these 400 Series encoders are already established with SSI or EnDat interfaces as other options.
Next is Master Bond's Super Gel 9, which is a urethane modified epoxy gel that can be employed in a variety of applications. Some of the most common include the encapsulation of sensitive electronic parts and sealing optical components.
Finally, the compact, heavy-duty Tolomatic IMA integrated linear servo actuator is now available with additional ball screw offerings that more than double the speed range, from 24 inches per second (610 mm/sec) to 58 inches per second (1,473 mm/sec).
HEIDENHAIN Encoders with Fanuc Interface
Of HEIDENHAIN's 400 series, the ECN/EQN 400 rotary encoders with stator couplings are available with a blind-hollow or hollow through-shaft. The stator coupling compensates radial runout and alignment errors without significantly reducing the accuracy. The encoder shaft is directly connected with the shaft to be measured. During angular acceleration of the shaft, the stator coupling must absorb only that torque caused by friction in the bearing.
The ROC/ROQ 400F rotary encoders with separate shaft coupling are available with a synchro flange or clamping flange and have integral bearings and a solid shaft. The shaft coupling compensates axial motion and misalignment (radial and angular offset) between the encoder shaft and measured shaft. This relieves the encoder bearing of additional external loads that would otherwise shorten its service life. Diaphragm and metal bellows couplings designed to connect the rotor of the ROC/ROQ 400F encoders are available.
The singleturn encoder versions of the 400 Series have a revolution counter that saves the number of revolutions during operation. After power is switched off, the counter is reset to zero. The multiturn versions feature an integral gear box, which keeps track of revolutions and is not affected by power loss. That absolute position is available immediately upon switch-on.
These encoders are particularly suitable for use on servo axes and spindles in machine tools, and feature integral bearings and stator or separate shaft couplings. All HEIDENHAIN's 400 Series encoders are mounted with IP 67 protection on the housing and IP 64 at the shaft inlet.
Optically clear epoxy gel offers dimensional stability
Featuring softness and resilience, Master Bond Super Gel 9 is a urethane modified epoxy gel that can be employed in a variety of applications. This multifunctional system is also widely used in the aerospace, electronic, optical, electro-optical, and other specialty industries.
Super Gel 9 has an exceptionally low Shore A hardness of about 5-10. This softness allows it to be easily repairable, making it ideal for retrieving components with a sharp knife or razor blade. It will not shatter during this process. These properties also enable Super Gel 9 to withstand rigorous thermal cycling and thermal/mechanical shock.
This product has a 2:1 mix ratio by weight or volume, along with a low viscosity and exotherm enabling it to be cast in larger sections up to 2 to 3 inches thick. Super Gel 9 bonds well to an array of substrates, such as metals, glass, ceramics, and many rubbers and plastics. It has a long working life of seven to nine hours depending on the mass that is mixed (the smaller the mass, the longer the working life). It resists many chemicals including water, oils, and fuels. The service temperature range is -100F to 200F. Super Gel 9 is available in .50 pints, pints, quarts, gallons, five-gallon container kits, and gun dispensers.
Fast, high force IMA Actuator fills high duty cycle need
Designed for long life in high duty cycles, the IMA from Tolomatic delivers high force in press fitting systems, accurate positioning, and quick response in valve and process control, compact, lightweight spot welding, and smooth velocity fluid dispensing. When designed with food-grade white epoxy coating and stainless-steel components (available as catalog orders), the IMA provides corrosion resistance, ingress protection, and bacterial growth protection for food and beverage industry applications. The IMA is CE/UL approved.
The IMA integrates a servo motor into a ball or roller screw-driven actuator to provide efficient high force in a compact, lightweight design. The IMA55 high-force servo linear actuator with roller screw option boosts its thrust capability to 6,875 lb force (30,470 N). The patented long-life design eliminates the need for couplers, adapters, belts and gears, and allows for easy re-lubrication without disassembly.
Available in four sizes, the IMA line of integrated-motor rod actuators features stroke lengths from three to 18 inches (76.2 mm to 457.2 mm).

On Aug. 7, 2014 Cold Train announced it has suspended shipment of doublestacked, containerized fruits, vegetables, and other food products from its terminal in Quincy, Wash. The company blames congestion on the Northern Corridor, along with intermodal service adjustments that BNSF implemented in April. Cold Train says, "BNSF not only reduced expedited intermodal service to only one train a day from Washington State, but the service immediately became about two to three days slower from Seattle/Quincy to Chicago. As a result of BNSF's decision to terminate Cold Train's three-day service and replace it with six-day service, it now takes twice as much equipment, refrigeration fuel, etc., to move the same freight."
BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas tells Railway Age, "We were disappointed to hear they were suspending their operation as we had been working with Cold Train for the past few months to provide them with options that would allow them to continue to operate this service. And we will keep working with them or another operator should they wish to provide service to/from Quincy." Indeed, BNSF and Cold Train were on the verge of a major expansion of the Quincy terminal with new arrival and departure tracks that would allow entire intermodal trains to clear the main line while making their pick-up.
Cold Train says it has recently lost more than 70% of its business, most of it being fresh produce shippers who went looking for "other transportation service options." It remains to be seen whether any of Cold Train's customers will truck their products south to the Railex terminal at Wallula, Wash. From there, UP launches a unit train of refrigerated boxcars eastward toward a terminal near Albany, N.Y. Railex currently advertises five-day service Washington-to-New York, averaging one train per week.
"While BNSF continues to see improvements in our network velocity and on-time performance, schedule changes were required to provide more accuracy in transit times," says BNSF's Melonas. "We have seen increased volumes across multiple sectors, particularly on our Northern lines in the past year. This is a case of rapid growth for several commodities, and we are not favoring one commodity over another. Our customers will see improvements in our railroad and have our commitment that we are making the necessary investments to handle all of our customers' business."

The changes come amid local angst over ridership declines on some of DART's light rail lines, reported by some sources as approaching eight-year lows. The new system takes effect with DART's opening of the second section of its Orange Line, extending service from Las Colinas, Tex., to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and DART's Blue Line extension from Garland to Rowlett, Tex.
DART said the changes "follow a board vote that was preceded by a public hearing and 18 community meetings on the proposed changes. No changes have been made to the existing reduced fare structure, and the price of a paratransit fare remains at $3.
A two-hour pass for $2.50 replaces the current single-ride ticket that costs $1.75. DART customers may use the pass to ride any DART bus or rail service, or the Trinity Railway Express between Union and CentrePort/DFW Airport stations, during a two-hour period. The new midday pass is good between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
DART has posted the new information, including a table of the new fares, on a separate webpage, www.DART.org/2012FareChange.

Universe: Manuscript census records from 1880 for the 38 United States, the District of Columbia, and the Dakota Territory.
(1) This dataset comprises two levels. The first level ("H" Record Type) contains 35 variables for each of 107,105 households. The second level ("P" Record Type) contains 58 variables for each of 502,913 individuals residing in those households. (2) Household records are padded with zeros in columns 112-123. (3) The documentation for this collection is available in two formats: WordPerfect 5.1 or ASCII DOS text derived from the WordPerfect file. There are two WordPerfect files, containing: (a) the main body of the codebook, Appendices A and B, and an index, and (b) Appendix C, Detailed Occupation Codes. The ASCII DOS text version includes all of these elements in a single file. Depending on printer and typesize configurations, users may encounter differences in pagination and text layout when printing the ASCII version as compared to the WordPerfect file. The WordPerfect 5.1 version of the codebook is only available on diskette and via FTP. (4) This collection supersedes CENSUS OF POPULATION, 1880 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE SAMPLE (1 IN 1000 PRELIMINARY SUBSAMPLE) (ICPSR 9474).
Sample: This collection is a nationally representative--although clustered--1-percent sample of the United States population in 1880. The manuscript census for 1880 consisted of about 1.2 million enumeration pages, with 50 persons per page, recorded on 1,454 reels of microfilm. The sampling strategy used for this collection was based on the census page. A sample density of 1 person per 100 was chosen so that a single sample point was randomly generated for every two census pages. Sample points were chosen for inclusion in the collection only if the individual selected was the first person listed in the dwelling. Under this procedure each dwelling, family, and individual in the population had a 1-in-100 probability of inclusion in the Public Use Sample.

The Oregon Montessori Association recently released a new interesting article by Breanne Monahan indicating that the Magda Gerber's Educaring® approach is a philosophy that compliments and supports Infant and Toddler Montessori environments.
We found it fascinating--perhaps you will too. Download the full document here:
A little background information:
RIE® (pronounced "rye") is a philosophy for parents and caregivers of children from birth to 2 years of age developed by Magda Gerber, a child therapist and infant specialist. Gerber immigrated to the United States from Hungary in 1957. She was influenced by the work of Hungarian pediatrician and friend, Dr. Emmi Pikler. Dr. Pikler ran a residential home, Loczy, for infants in Hungary and was concerned with the challenges of providing quality group care to young children. Pikler's simple yet revolutionary approach to infant care inspired many. In 1978, based on her work with Emmi Pikler and her own experiences with young children, Magda Gerber founded Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), a non-profit organization based out of Los Angeles.


text: A bit of a rant, and perhaps an observation I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else... I was reading this book, "Writing the Popular Novel" by Loren Estleman, and in Chapter 4 it talks about common errors in English, including split infinitives. Let's me quote a small section... First up, what is the problem with split infinitives? Why must the adverb come AFTER the verb? Secondly, and this is what really bugs me, Estleman says split infinitives ruin rhythm, and yet, the Star Trek monologue only has rhythm if the infinitive is split. Specifically, Iambic Pentameter. Behold: to BOLD ly GO where NO one has GONE beFORE. If we avoid splitting the infitive, we get the clunky to GO boldLY where NO... etc. Keeping the infinitive unsplit requires us to put the accent on the wrong syllable of "boldly", destroying the rhythm, and yet, according to Estleman, splitting infinitives is the rhythm destroyer? I think not. BTW, has anyone else noticed before that the line is in iambic pentameter before?

This invention relates generally to a power-driven hand tool and more particularly to a hammer drill.
Hammer drills are well known in the art by this time. Generally speaking, they have a component that can be coupled with a tool, such as a drill bit, a chisel bit, or the like, and which component can be rotated, have axial blows or impacts exerted upon it so that the bit acts as a hammer, or the tool functions can be superimposed upon one another. Usually, an impactor is provided which is freely reciprocable in a tube and, when moving forwardly, impacts the rear end of the tool chuck or of a component associated therewith. Also provided is a power-driven piston which reciprocates in the same guide tube but is somewhat spaced from the impact member or angle so that a cushion of compressed air can develop between the two which transmits the kinetic energy to the angle from the piston. The prior-art constructions use an electric motor which drives a crank drive from which in turn the reciprocatory motion of the piston is derived.
This type of hammer drill is generally quite satisfactory. However, there are further improvements which it is desirable to make. In particular, the conversion of the rotary movement of the output shaft of the electric motor into a translatory motion, i.e., the reciprocation of the piston requires a rather complicated construction when it is accomplished by means of the aforementioned crank drive. At least four shafts are required, some of which have their axes inclined relative to one another, usually at right angles, and this requires the use of bevel gears, i.e. of angle drive, which is relatively complicated. Also, the use of a crank drive necessitates relatively large dimensions for the tool because of the space that is required.
It is a general object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved power-driven hand tool of the type in question, wherein the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated.
Still more particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide such a power-driven hand tool, especially a hammer drill, having a very simple arrangement for converting the rotary movement of the drive motor into a reciprocatory movement of the piston, which arrangement is also inexpensive to produce.
In keeping with these objects, and with others which will become apparent hereafter, one feature of the invention resides in a power-driven hand tool, particularly a hammer drill, which comprises a housing, a tool chuck on the housing and adapted to hold an elongated tool, and means for impacting the tool chuck in direction lengthwise of the tool. This means for impacting comprises a first member reciprocable in the aforementioned direction, a rotatable second member formed with a circumferentially complete cam track, and transmitting means guidied by the cam track and operatively connected with the first member for transmitting reciprocatory motion therein in response to rotation of the second member.
The crank drive of the prior art is thus eliminated and as a result the conversion of the rotary movement of the drive motor into a translatory movement, i.e., a reciprocation of the piston, can be effected by means of only three shafts which extend in parallelism to the longitudinal axis of the tool, i.e., in parallelism to the direction of reciprocation of the piston. This assumes that the drive motor, particularly an electric motor, is so arranged that its axis of rotation, which is one of the three axes mentioned above, extends parallel to the direction of reciprocation of the piston. This provides for a very simple and inexpensive construction and moreover permits a very precise control over the movements performed by the impact components of the device, thus assuring that the tool will operate relatively quietly and relatively free of vibrations, and will therefore cause a minimum of discomfort to the operator holding the tool.
It is particularly advantageous if the cam track is in form of a cam groove which is formed in the periphery of a driven drum, particularly a drum which rotates about an axis extending parallel to the reciprocation of the piston. According to one embodiment, one flank bounding the groove may form and act as a wobble plate, and a ring may be freely turnably received in the groove, being guided by this one flank and having a projection which transmits motion to the piston.
According to another and very advantageous embodiment, the projection may be replaced by a flange which rotationally symmetrically surrounds an elongated rod-like element but is axially reciprocable in the same direction as the piston and which may be solid or hollow, the flange extending into the groove and being guided therein.
The fact that the present invention has been able to replace the crank drive (which is universally used in hammer drills) with a wobble-plate drive, is surprising for a variety of reasons.
Hammer drills are heavy-duty machines which are subject to very high mechanical stresses and which must be able to deliver strong impacts on the workpiece. Because of this, the industry has always been firmly convinced that only the strong, positive-guidance action of a crank drive would be able to withstand the demands made of such tools and that the rather high vibrations and operating noises resulting from the use of a crank drive, and the attendant mental and physical discomfort to the operator, would have to be accepted as a trade-off for proper mechanical operation of the tool.
One reason why it was felt that a wobble-plate drive could not be used in hammer drills is that a motion-transmitting finger cooperating with the wobble-plate must engage the hammering piston from laterally thereof, not from the rear as is conventional in crank drives. To afford such lateral access, the guide tube for the piston must be slotted and it was felt that this would unacceptably increase the difficulties encountered in guiding and sealing the piston. Also, the laterally engaging finger applies a tilting movement to the piston and it was felt that the resulting increased friction acting on the piston, especially in the event of inadequate lubrication, would make such a construction inoperable.
Another factor which was considered practically insoluble, is the difficulty of coupling the motion-transmitting finger with the piston in such a manner as to avoid impeding the required freedom of three types of movement, namely rotational movement in two planes as well as sliding movement. Moreover, the coupling must transmit force in alternating directions, but the surface pressure per unit surface area must not be excessively high to avoid damaging the piston.
The mounting of the wobble plate itself also presents difficulties, because the plate must be journalled in two relatively large-sized bearings. A simple bearing cannot be used because of the drag which would result due to the reversal of rotation of the bearing bolts of a single bearing.
Added to all these problems, as perceived by the industry, were the expected difficulties resulting from the vibrations and impact forces to which the journal structure of a wobble-plate drive is subjected in the operation of a hammer drill.
The resulting prejudice in the art was such that, to applicants' knowledge, a wobble-plate drive has never been seriously proposed for hammer drills.
All of these problems and prejudices have been overcome by the present invention, which provides a construction which is not only very compact but wherein many of the conventionally required components are eliminated and noise and vibrations are substantially reduced.
The novel features which are considered characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic side view illustrating the hammer drill embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary axial section through the hammer drill of FIG. 1, illustrating one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but illustrating a different embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a view analogous to FIG. 2, illustrating a further embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is an axial section through an element according to a further embodiment of the invention, which element can be employed in the embodiment of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary axial section, illustrating an additional embodiment;
FIG. 7 is a section similar to FIG. 6 but illustrating yet a further embodiment;
FIG. 8 is another section analogous to FIG. 6, but illustrating an additional embodiment; and
FIG. 9 is also a section similar to the one shown in FIG. 6 but showing still another embodiment of the invention.
Referring firstly to FIG. 1, it will be seen that this shows quite diagrammatically and for purposes of orientation a hammer drill in which the present invention can be embodied. The hammer drill has a housing 1 provided with a handgrip 5. A cable 7 extends from the exterior into the handgrip 5 and is there connected to a switch (not illustrated) which can be operated by a trigger 6, so that after power supplied via the cable 7 can be forwarded to an electric motor in the housing 1, to energize or de-energize the motor, in dependence upon whether the trigger 6 is operated or not. At the front end of the housing 1, the hammer drill is provided with a tool chuck 8 in which a tool (not shown) is to be removably mounted, for example a drill bit, a chisel bit or the like.
FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the present invention incorporated in a hammer drill of the type shown in FIG. 1. The electric motor is identified with reference numeral 2 and has a shaft 10 which extends parallel to the elongation of the housing 1 and which has its opposite end portions mounted for rotation in two journals 11 and 11', respectively. More specifically, it is the rotor 9 of the electric motor 2 that is provided with the shaft and is mounted for rotation. It is advantageous if the motor 2 is of the universal type.
That end portion of the shaft 10 which is journalled in the journal 11 is provided with a pinion 12 having teeth which mesh with annulus 13 of gear teeth that are provided on the circumference of a drum 17.sup.⊕. The drum 17 is mounted on an intermediate shaft 14 which in turn is journalled for rotation at its opposite axial end portions by means of journals 15 and 16, respectively.
As FIG. 2 shows, the drum 17 is in this embodiment composed of two axially adjacent parts 17', 17" which are suitably mounted on the shaft 14 for rotation with the same. A circumferentially extending and circumferentially complete cam groove 18 is formed in the periphery of the drum 17 and is located in a plane which is inclined with reference to the axis of rotation of the shaft 14. The right-hand end face of the portion 17' forms the lefthand flank 19 of the cam groove 18 and acts in the same manner as a well-known wobble plate. A ring member 20 is freely turnably accommodated in the groove 18, and it is for purposes of facilitating the mounting of the ring member 20 that the drum 17 is composed of the two parts 17' and 17". The ring member 20 is provided with a radially projecting pin or projection 21 which serves to impart reciprocatory motion to the impact unit which is generally designated with reference numeral 4.
This impact unit is mounted in the interior of a stationary guide tube 22 and includes a freely axially reciprocable impactor or anvil 23 that is so dimensioned so as to have sealing contact with the inner circumference of the tube 22, and a similar sealingly received piston 24 which is also reciprocable in the guide tube 22. The wall of the guide tube 22 is provided with air ports which are opened and closed by the impactor 23 as the same reciprocates. The tool holder 8 has a portion 8a provided with a recess into which the shank of the respective tool is to be inserted, an intermediate portion 8b extending inwardly from the portion 8a, and a rear portion 8c extending into the forward end of the guide tube 22. The portion 8c carries a part having a radially projecting shoulder 8d. The part with the shoulder 8d may be suitably secured to the portion 8c for example by shrink-fitting or the like.
As the drawing shows, in the illustrated embodiment that end portion of the piston 24 which faces away from the tool holder 8 is bifurcated, and the space between the two parts of the bifurcated end portion 25 is bridged by a pin or bolt 26 that is mounted with its opposite end portions in the respective parts of the end portion 25 and is freely turnable. The pin 26 is provided with a transverse bore 27 into which the projection 21 engages with play. Thus, the projection 21 can readily move in direction of its own axis in the bore 27.
That end of the shaft 14 which faces forwardly in the housing 1 is configurated as a pinion 28 whose teeth mesh with the teeth of an annulus 29 that is formed on a radially extending shoulder provided on a rotatable sleeve 30. The sleeve 30 is turnably mounted on the guide tube 22 and its forward end (the left-hand end in FIG. 2) is provided with an inwardly extending shoulder 31 formed with inner splines which engage in corresponding exterior splines on the part of the tool holder 8 which is provided with the flange 8d. The turnable sleeve 30 is surrounded over part of its length by a helical expansion spring 32, one end of which abuts against the shoulder formed with the annulus 29 of gear teeth and the other end of which abuts against the flange 8d.
The tool holder 8 can be shifted between two positions, namely the position illustrated in FIG. 2 and a further position in which it is shifted to the left in FIG. 2. For this purpose, a shifting and arresting mechanism 33 is provided, in form of a bayonet closure which permits the aforementioned axial positions of the tool holder 8. When the tool holder 8a is in the position shown in FIG. 2, it is rotated as well as having axial impacts transmitted to its rear portion 8c via the impactor 23, when the motor 2 is energized. If the tool holder 8 is shifted leftwards in FIG. 2 to the second one of its positions, then the portions 8c moves far enough out of the guide tube 22 so that no cushion of compressed air can develop between the impactor 23 and the piston 24, so that the tool holder 8--while still being rotated--no longer receives impacts upon its rear portion 8c.
A detailed description of the operation of the drive in the embodiment of FIG. 2 is not believed to be necessary, as this is clearly self-explanatory from the drawing. It is evident that when the drum 17 is driven in rotation by the motor 2, the projection 21 will impart to the piston 24 a reciprocatory movement. When a tool holder 8 is in the position illustrated in FIG. 2, an air cushion will develop between the piston 24 and the impact 23, i.e. a cushion of compressed air which acts as an energy-storing means and causes the impactor 23 to be hurled forwardly (to the left in FIG. 2) to impact upon the portion 8c of the tool holder 8. Upon such impact, the impactor 23 yields its energy to the tool holder 8 for transmission to a tool mounted in the tool holder 8, and then rebounds towards the right and towards the piston 24, for development of a new cushion of compressed air between them. The tool holder 8 is also rotated at the same time, via the pinion 28, the gear teeth 29 and the cooperating splines on the portion 8d and the shoulder 31.
This construction, wherein the flank 19 of the groove 18 operates as a wobble plate to transmit reciprocatory motion to the piston 24, and is considerably less expensive than the crank drive known in hammer drills of the prior art, and at the same time eliminates the use for the otherwise necessary angle drives, i.e. bevel gears and the like. Moreover, the masses to be accelerated are smaller than in the prior art and because the device 4 is located directly above the shaft 14 and the associated components, the overall dimensions of a hammer drill constructed in this manner are considerably smaller than in the prior art and in particular the tool can be considerably shorter (from left to right in FIG. 2) then before.
A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 3. This embodiment is quite analogous to the one in FIG. 2 and like reference numerals have been used to identify like components where possible. The operation of the embodiment of FIG. 3 is also very much like the one in FIG. 2.
FIG. 3 differs from the embodiment in FIG. 2 in that the drum 17 has been replaced by a drum 47 which is again provided with the groove 18 bounded at one side by a flank 19 operating as a wobble plate. The drum 47, however, is turnably mounted on the shaft 44 which replaces the shaft 14 of FIG. 2, i.e. it can turn relative to the shaft 44.
The shaft 44 in turn can be shifted axially, i.e. left to right in FIG. 3, and is permanently urged towards the left by a spring 49 received in an axial recess of the shaft 44 and having one end bearing upon the bottom of the recess and another end bearing upon a ball 50 which in turn is supported by a portion of the housing 1 or an associated stationary component.
A cone-type coupling 48 is provided to permit a selective coupling of the drum 47 with the shaft 44 for joint rotation. When this coupling 48 which, in the illustrated position of FIG. 3 is disengaged, is moved into engagement, it couples the shaft 44 and the drum 47 so that the latter now rotates with the shaft 44.
The shaft 44 is driven in rotation by the pinion 12 via a gear 43 that is axially shiftably mounted on the shaft 44, for example by a splined-shaft connection, but rotates with the latter. The left-hand end portion of the shaft 44 is provided with a pinion 45 which meshes again with the annulus 29 of gear teeth provided on the flange of the rotary sleeve 30 but surrounds the guide tube 22 (compare FIG. 2). A shoulder 46 is provided on the pinion 45 and abuts the flange on which the annulus 29 of gear teeth is formed.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3 the tool holder 8 is normally only rotated, i.e. when the arrangement is in the position which it normally assumes and which is illustrated in FIG. 3, the tool holder 3 is rotated but has no impacts applied to it. If it is desired by an operator to utilize the impacting capability of the tool in FIG. 3, the operator presses forwardly on the handgrip, urging the tool held in the tool holder 8 against the workpiece, usually masonry rock or the like, and this causes the tool holder 8 to shift inwardly (to the right in FIG. 3) until the flange 8d engages the shoulder 31 of the rotary sleeve 30 and now shifts the rotary sleeve 30 towards the right. The flange of the sleeve 30 which is formed with the annulus 29 of the gear teeth is in permanent abutment with the flange 46 of the pinion 45, due to the biasing action exerted by the spring 49 upon the shaft 44, so that the rightward displacement of the rotary sleeve 30 causes a similar displacement of the shaft 44 counter to the action of the spring 39. This results in an engagement of the cooperating components of the coupling 48, for example, a taper entry of the friction layer on the conical portion of the coupling that is provided on the shaft 44 into the conical recess of the drum 47, thus coupling the drum 47 for rotation with the shaft 44 and effecting reciprocation of the piston in the same manner as described with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 2. When the operator withdraws the tool from the workpiece, the spring 49 shifts the shaft 44 towards the left disengaging the coupling 48 and terminating the impacting operation, whereas the rotation of the tool holder 8 continues.
It should be understood that the coupling 48 need not be a friction coupling, but could also be a coupling of a different type, for example a coupling having cooperating claws or other projections on the shaft 44 and the drum 47, respectively.
The gear 43 may be located not at the left side of the drum 47, as shown in FIG. 3, but at the right side of the drum near the right journal.
FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention and in this Figure like reference numerals identify like components as in the preceding embodiments.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4 the electric motor 2 is again mounted as in the preceding embodiments. Its rotor 9 has a shaft 10 the right-hand end portion of which is mounted for rotation in the roller bearing 61 and provided with a pinion 62. An intermediate shaft 64 is provided, journalled at its opposite end portions in roller bearings 65 and 66, respectively, corresponding to the intermediate shaft 14 of FIG. 2. The shaft 64 is provided with a gear 63 which is mounted on it and which meshes with the teeth of the pinion 62, so that the shaft 64 is thus driven in rotation.
In addition, the shaft 64 has mounted on it a drum 67 which will be described subsequently, and is also provided with two circumferential annuli of gear teeth 68 and 69. respectively. A guide tube 70 is provided which extends parallel to the shaft 64 and has the same purpose as the guide tube 22 of FIG. 2. Mounted on the guide tube 70 are two axially adjacent gears 71 and 72 whose teeth mesh with the teeth of the annuli 68 and 69, respectively. This is a permanent engagement. The gears 71 and 72 are freely turnably mounted on the guide tube 70 and can be shifted axially of the latter by means of a non-illustrated shifting device which is well known in the art and forms no part of the invention.
The outer circumference of the guide tube 70 is provided with an annulus of engaging portions 73, for example axially extending splines, and the hub bores of the gears 71 and 72 are provided with similar annuli of engaging portions (for example axially extending splines) 74 and 75, respectively. Depending upon the axial position of the gears 71 and 72 the annuli 74 and 75 can be brought into engagement with the engaging portions of the annulus 73 so that the respective gears 71 and 72 are coupled with the guide tube 70 for rotation. In addition, the hub bore of the gear 71 is formed with a circumferentially extending groove 76 which is free of the engaging portions of the annulus 74 and which, when the gear 71 is located in appropriate position axially of the guide tube 70, permits a free turning of the gears 71, 72 on and relative to the guide tube 70. When the gears 71 and 72 are in this position, the guide tube 70 will not be rotated. It will be understood that the guide tube 70 is journalled for rotation in two bearings, for example roller bearings of which only the roller bearing 77 is illustrated.
The impact device 4 is again located in the interior of the guide tube 70. It includes an impactor 78 which is axially reciprocable in the guide tube 70 and receivingly engages the inner circumference of the latter, and a piston 79 which is also reciprocable in the guide tube 70 and sealingly engages the inner circumference thereof. The guide tube 70 is provided in its wall with several air ports 80 which are opened and closed by the impactor 78 depending upon the position thereof. The end portion 8c of the tool holder 8 extends into the front end of the guide tube 70 to be impacted by the impactor 78. The tool holder 8 of which only the portion 8c is illustrated, is connected with the guide tube 70 so it can shift axially relative thereof, but cannot rotate relative thereto (only therewith), the means for this purpose being not illustrated but similar to the ones in the preceding embodiments.
The piston 79 is provided with a concentrically projecting rod-like element 81, which in the illustrated embodiment is tubular, having an end portion remote from the piston 79 and guided slidably in a journal 82. Approximately midway intermediate the ends of element 81 the latter is provided with a flange 83 which is configurated rotationally symmetrical with reference to the longitudinal axis of the element 81. The flange 83 serves to impart motion to the element 81 and hence to the piston 79. For this purpose it engages (as illustrated) in a circumferentially complete cam groove 84 formed in the outer periphery of the drum 67. In the illustrated embodiment the cross-section of the groove 84 is substantially V-shaped and is matched by the axial section of the flange 83 as shown. As illustrated the groove 84 is of sinusoidal configuration, but is should be understood that other configurations could be selected, for example in order to accommodate the sequence of the impacts to particular requirements.+
Evidently, when the drum 67 rotates with the shaft 64, the element 81 will reciprocate and in turn reciprocate the piston 79. Since the piston 79 can rotate, being guided in the journal 82 with freedom of both reciprocation and rotation, the flange 83 will turn as it travels in the groove 84 and this reduces friction losses to a minimum. Of course, as in the preceding embodiments, a cushion of compressed air develops between the piston 71 and the impactor 78, in the manner known also from the prior art, to hurl the impactor 78 against the end portion 8c of the tool holder 8.
The piston 79 has a rather small mass in this embodiment, and both the element 81 and the flange 83 are hollow as illustrated. Because of this the mass forces are very low. The almost direct transmission of power from the pinion 62 to the piston 79, which eliminates many intermediate stages that are required in the prior art, permits the cumulative amount of play in the power train from the pinion 62 to the piston 79 to be rather small, a factor which is particularly important if the tool is to operate at high impact frequencies, because it permits the tool to operative relatively quietly and eliminates a large amount of wear.
The drum 67 is of relatively low weight and can even be made hollow if desired. Despite this, it has a large moment of inertia due to its relatively large outer diameter and thus in effect acts in the same manner as a flywheel, which has the advantage that the shaft 64 can store rotary energy which is available for accelerating the impactor 78 at the time of maximum compression of the air cushion between the impactor and the pinion 79. This is, incidentally, also true for the preceding embodiment. It eliminates the high torque load on the motor which has been found objectionable in the prior-art hammer drills.
A further embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 5. The elements of FIG. 5 can be used with the overall construction of FIG. 4, in lieu of the comparable elements shown in FIG. 4.
In FIG. 5, the piston 89 is comparable to and performs the same function as, the piston 79 of FIG. 4. It has a coaxially projecting rod-like element 91 which is shown as being of solid cross-section, but which could also be of hollow cross-section, just as the element 81 and/or the element 83 of FIG. 4 could be of solid cross-section. Substantially midway intermediate its ends the element 81 is provided with a flange 93 which is adapted to engage into the cam groove 84 (see FIG. 4) in the same manner as described with reference to the flange 83 in that Figure.
In FIG. 5 the flange 93 is turnable relative to the element 91. For this purpose, the flange 93 is annular, having a central bore provided with an inner circumferential bearing race 95 which is juxtaposed with an outer circumferential bearing race 96 formed on the element 91. It is advantageous if at the opposite axial ends these bearing races 95, 96 are bounded by relatively high (in radial direction) shoulders 97 which are capable of absorbing axial stress. The radial height of the shoulders 97 may approach--but of course not equal--the radius of the bearing balls 94 which are accommodated in the races 95, 96.
To permit a ready installation of the bearing balls 94 and of the flange 93, the element 91 is provided with circumferentially extending bead or shoulder 98, and axially adjacent thereto is formed of reduced cross-section. This portion of reduced cross-section has mounted on it--e.g. by press-fitting or shrink-fitting--a sleeve 99 that is formed with a second shoulder located axially adjacent to and in abutment with the shoulder 98. The race 96 is formed half in the shoulder 98, and half in the shoulder on the sleeve 99, i.e., it is axially centered on the plane of abutment of these shoulders. Evidently, this construction facilitates the assembly of the bearing balls 94 and of the flanges 93. The bearing balls 94 may be accommodated in the races 95, 96 with or without use of a roller cage.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5 the flange 93 thus can rotate with reference to the element 91 and the piston 89. Hence, the piston 89 has transmitted to it only axially reciprocatory movements from the rotation of the drum 67 with the cam groove 84, but is not itself subjected to rotation. This has a two-fold advantage, in that the flange 93 can now freely rotate as it travels in the groove 84 and is not retarded by the friction of the piston with reference to the guide tube 70 as in the embodiment of FIG. 4, and it reduces the wear on the piston seal which is the part of the piston that engages the inner circumference of the guide tube 70 and which now must only undergo wear due to reciprocation and no longer wear due to rotation.
It will be appreciated that the flange 93 could also be mounted on the element 91 by means of a slide bearing, or that the element 91 could be mounted in the piston 89 so as to be rotatable relative to the latter.
FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention, the elements of which can be (and are currently preferred to be) used with the overall construction in FIG. 2, in lieu of the comparable elements shown in FIG. 2.
Like reference numerals have been used in FIG. 6 to designate elements identical to those in FIG. 2. In FIG. 6, however, the finger or projection 21 is journalled on the drum 117, 117' by means of a journal-bearing bushing 101 which is located in the cam groove 118 within the confines of ring 20, and further by means of two axial-thrust roller bearings 100, 100' which are located at opposite axial ends of the ring 20, between the same and the parts 117, 117' of the drum, respectively. The shaft 14 in this embodiment is journalled in two axially spaced anti-friction bearings 102, 102'.
This embodiment provides particularly quiet and low-vibration operation with a corresponding increase in the mental and physical well-being of an operator using it.
The embodiment of FIG. 7 is the same as the embodiment of FIG. 6, except that the bushing 101 is replaced with a more efficient radial roller bearing 101a.
In FIG. 8 an axial-thrust roller bearing 105 is used only at that axial end of ring 20 where the main stresses occur in operation. At its other axial side the ring 20 is journalled by an angular-contact ball bearing 106.
FIG. 9 differs from FIG. 8 in that the ring 220 is journalled at both sides by means of respective angular-contact ball bearings 107, 107'. The shaft 14 may be journalled in bearing bushings or in anti-friction bearings in the embodiments of FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.
A hammer drill constructed according to the present invention is considerably simpler in its structural features than the ones known from the prior art, and it is therefore less expensive to produce and, not least of all, it is less subject to malfunction and repairs. It requires only three axially parallel shafts, for example, in FIG. 2, the shafts 10, 14 and 30 (the sleeve 30 in effect acting as a shaft) and only six axially parallel bearings, but without thereby necessitating any deterioration in the reliability of operation which it offers.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a hammer drill, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.

I say, "WaZaaa!!!"
I've only started using ZA Internet Security Suite (ver.7.0.302.000) and it lately it had to close with a message refering to something like the ZoneAlarm Client has encountered a problem and has to close down. While the message appeared I:
<ul>[*]was online via DSL connection[*]had I think at least three Internet Explorer windows running[*]may well had a video loading from YouTube.com[/list]
After closing the message I:<ul>[*]could not close few or all of the IE windows[*]tried shutting down the computer and failed so...[*]manually shut down the computer by pressing the turn off button[/list]
However, after turning on the PC, everything seemed to be running normal. What should I do?

Millennium Bulk-Terminals Longview EIS
No Attachments
Submission Text
From:Friends of the Columbia Gorge <firstname.lastname@example.com> on behalf of Carol Solbach <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent:Wednesday, October 02, 2013 1:55 AM To:Placido, Elaine Subject:Docket number 2013-19738: Comment on scope of EIS for Millennium Bulk Terminals Longview LLC Coal Export Terminal
Oct 2, 2013
Director Elaine Placido 207 4th Ave. N. Kelso, WA 98626
Dear Director Placido,
Please accept these scoping comments for the environmental impact statement for the Millennium Bulk Terminal (MBTL) proposal for Longview, WA.
The proposal to export coal from the Powder River Basin, through the Columbia River Gorge to Longview for export to Asia would result in significant adverse effects to the local, regional, and global environment. The impacts of strip mining, transporting, and burning the coal in Asian power plants must be included in the scope of analysis for the environmental impact statement (EIS).
In particular, the proposal would have severe impacts on the Columbia River Gorge, which is the most likely rail transportation route from the Powder River Basin through the Cascade Mountains to the proposed terminal. The Columbia River Gorge is world-renowned for its natural scenic beauty, diversity in plants and wildlife, cultural resources, and recreation. To protect its outstanding resources, the Gorge is a federally designated National Scenic Area. This law requires protection and enhancement of scenic, natural, cultural, and recreation resources and air quality. The EIS must evaluate the transportation of coal by rail in open coal cars through the Gorge, and the likely expansion of tracks and siding in the Gorge that would be necessary to accommodate up to 18 additional trains per day, for consistency with the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act.
Air quality in the Columbia River Gorge is already degraded. Increased coal train traffic would worsen air quality and visibility. The human health and the environmental impacts of diesel emissions and coal dust from up to 18 trains per day must be analyzed.
Coal pollution is already a problem in the Gorge from just a few coal trains per day, with large amounts of coal polluting Gorge lands and waterways. Adverse effects of coal spilling into waterways and into sensitive plant and wildlife areas in the Gorge from open-top coal cars must be analyzed in the EIS. The threat of fugitive coal affecting agriculture and forestry must also be examined in the EIS.
Additional trains would block at-grade crossings in the Gorge, interfering with commerce, recreation, tourism, and emergency services. Wind-blown coal debris from coal trains has also been documented to be a safety threat to highway travelers. These impacts must be included in the scope of the EIS.
Existing rail traffic in the Gorge is near capacity. Approval of the MBTL project would result in the need to expand rail capacity in the Gorge with new tracks and sidings. Rail lines in the Gorge follow the Columbia River and cross many tributaries and wetlands. Impacts from the construction of new tracks would cause adverse effects to water quality, fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats. These impacts must be analyzed and avoided.
Train-caused fires are a regular occurrence within the Columbia Gorge, resulting in damage to native plants, sensitive wildlife habitat, and property. Increased train traffic and transporting coal in open-top cars would only worsen this existing problem. Increased risk of fire from coal trains must be analyzed in the EIS.
There are three pending proposals for coal exports in the Pacific Northwest. All would transport coal from the Powder River Basin through the Columbia River Gorge to export facilities. The combined impacts of past, present and reasonably foreseeable uses and developments must be thoroughly explored in the EIS.
Coal-burning power plants are the primary source greenhouse gases driving global climate change. The MBTL project would feed Asia's growing appetite for coal and accelerate climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions from the mining, transportation and burning of coal must be analyzed in the EIS. Coal combustion in Asia releases other air pollutants, such as mercury, that are deposited in the United States. The EIS must analyze the impacts of mercury and other toxic pollution from coal powered plants receiving coal via the proposed export facility.
The purpose and need for the proposed project should be broadened to look at economic development and environmental needs for the region and for the global climate. The range of alternatives considered in the EIS should include alternatives that better address the economic and environmental needs of the region and do not expand global reliance on fossil fuels that are responsible for causing catastrophic climate change. The alternatives analysis should include alternative transportation routes that do not pass through federally protected areas like the Columbia River Gorge. Mitigation measures should include covered rail cars to reduce the amount of coal pollution from coal trains.
The Army Corps of Engineers should refrain from making a decision on any permits until an area-wide EIS is completed to analyze the impacts of all three coal export proposals in the Pacific Northwest.
Mrs. Carol Solbach PO Box 188 Lyle, WA 98635-0005 (509) 637-3607

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar slid against high-yielding currencies such as the Australian dollar, while the yen sold off on Wednesday after U.S. lawmakers forged a last-minute deal to avert huge tax increases and spending cuts, fueling demand for riskier investments.
Investors tend to sell the dollar and yen, both highly liquid currencies, when risk appetite is strong.
But the dollar's and yen's losses could be temporary because of potentially contentious negotiations ahead about spending restraints and the debt ceiling.
U.S. Treasuries fell on the fiscal agreement as investors felt comfortable moving away from the safety of government bonds, while equities posted sharp gains.
The dollar, however, rebounded against the euro, as some traders booked profits after driving the common currency to a two-week high just below $1.33.
Although the passage of the bill to avoid the "fiscal cliff" removed some near-term uncertainty, it did not end the political showdown on the budget. Battles over the sequester, as the automatic spending cuts are known, and the U.S. debt ceiling will come to a head in February.
"While the U.S. is not now plunging off a fiscal cliff, it's still going down a steep fiscal ski hill that will take a meaningful bite out of economic growth," said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at CIBC World Markets in Toronto.
"The sense of closure that investors are feeling today could soon dissipate as the focus shifts to the bargaining ahead."
Higher-yielding and growth-linked currencies rallied. The Australian dollar rose 0.9 percent to US$1.0497 after hitting a two-week high. The New Zealand dollar gained 0.7 percent to US$0.8338, while the Canadian dollar rallied versus the greenback, which fell 0.7 percent to C$0.9858.
The euro fell 0.2 percent to $1.3185. It had earlier hit a high of $1.3299, according to Reuters data, the highest in two weeks, and not far from an 8-1/2-month high on December 19.
"It looks as though someone forgot to tell the euro that it's supposed to go higher after the fiscal cliff agreement," said Matthew Lifson, senior analyst and trader at Cambridge Mercantile Group, in Princeton, New Jersey.
The euro has gained nearly 10 percent since late July when European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the ECB would do "whatever it takes" to save the euro.
Strategists, however, said the euro could see renewed pressure if concerns about the weak euro-zone economy re-emerge.
Euro-zone factories sank deeper into recession in December, data showed on Wednesday. Markit's Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 46.1 from November's 46.2. It has been below the 50 mark that divides growth from contraction since August 2011.
In contrast, data on Wednesday showed U.S. manufacturing ended 2012 on an upswing despite fears about the fiscal cliff, with factories returning to growth in December after contracting the previous month, according to the Institute for Supply Management.
"All the noise (on the fiscal cliff) from the end of the year in the U.S. is over," said Cambridge's Lifson. "It may be time to concentrate on the economies, and at present, it looks like European economies are in worse shape than the U.S. economy. Advantage, U.S. dollar? It just may be."
On Friday, the ISM services data and the closely watched U.S. non-farm payrolls data for December will be released.
The euro rose 1.3 percent to 115.99 yen on Reuters data, the strongest since July 2011, and was last up 0.5 percent at 115.07 yen. Option barriers were cited at 116 yen.
The dollar rose 0.7 percent to 87.26 yen, having touched 87.33 yen earlier, the highest since late July 2010.
The yen has also come under pressure in recent weeks on expectations that a new Japanese government will push the Bank of Japan into more forceful monetary easing.
Speculators' bets against the yen hit more than five-year peaks in December, but have eased in the past two weeks. Some strategists warned of a potential rebound in the yen after the next BOJ meeting on January 21-22.
In the options market, one-month dollar/yen implied volatility touched an 8-1/2 month high of 9.2 on Wednesday, according to Thomson Reuters data, as demand to hedge against further yen weakness gathered pace. It was last at 8.65 vols, some way off the mid-December low of 7.1.
