The number following the ^ is an exponent.
2 Answers
Recall three of the laws of exponents I assume your teacher must have covered in your class:
i) xmxn = xm+n
ii) (xm)n = xmn
iii) (xy)n = xnyn
These two laws can be used here:
y9(2y2)3 = 23y9y2*3 = 8y9y6 = 8y9+6 = 8y15
(y^9) the first term is y to the 9th power
(2y^2) is (y squared ) times 2. Note that the exponent 2 does not apply to the factor 2.
(2y^2)^3 is the previous term raised to the 3rd power. To see exactly how this calculates expand it:
= 4*y^4 * (2y^2)
= 8*y^6
Go back and include the first term:
(y^9)(2y^2)^3 = (y^9) * 8*y^6
(y^9)(2y^2)^3 = 8*y^15
There are two keys to this problem:
Exponents add when their base numbers are multiplied.
Observe which factors are raised to powers and which are not.

Atlantic Avenue
I start jury duty tomorrow (I have much reading and
writing to catch up on, so I welcome it, unlike many
people) and was wondering if anyone had any favorite
Atlantic Avenue haunts for lunch during or shopping at
the end of the day. I'm planning on a trip to Sahadi
Imports, but otherwise would love some direction.
In addition to Sahadi's, don't miss Oriental (something
of other), right across the street. Their olives are
much better.
If you get bored with great Middle Eastern food, you
should also try the Waterfront Ale House, if it's open.
They are on the same side of the street as Sahadi's,
about two blocks west. They have good food at good
prices, and absolutely wonderful beer.

Barriers to Entry:
demonstrates to all market participants where power needs to be increased or decreased. A generator or entity serving load could ignore these price signals that reflect system need. But, since the price is available to all participants in the market every five minutes, it is unlikely that such behavior would continue for very long.
During real-time operations, operators in a system similar to PJM would monitor all transmission limitations on the system and send electronic dispatch instructions to generators to manage transmission flows within the reliability criteria. The real-time energy market is based on the same security-constrained economic dispatch analysis that vertically integrated utilities use with the difference that the market makes the information available to all market participants over a broad regional area. Therefore, the locational prices that are posted for each generator every five minutes are consistent with the dispatch instruction that is sent to ensure reliable grid operation. Since the price signal is consistent with the dispatch instructions, generators tend to respond very quickly, resulting in a much more robust and reliable operating state.
Had this system existed on Aug. 14, it is very likely that pricing information would have prompted corrective action in the initial problem areas-through a redispatch of generation driven by the transparent prices-long before the outage became a cascading regional event involving 58,000 MW of load and generation. Two authors, University of Wisconsin Professor Fernando Alvarado and Rajesh Rajaraman, both of Christensen Associates, have in fact described how that would work.
In a paper dated Aug. 18, 2003, 6 less than a week after the blackout, Alvarado and Rajaraman explained in detail how various contingencies provided by the North American Electric Reliability Council in its initial timeline of events would have been handled under an LMP system.
They discussed how prices may have increased dramatically in certain areas for some period of time, but how this fact would have elicited action that very likely would have mitigated the problem in its initial stages (and avoided the resulting very broad economic implications).
LMP boosts reliability in other ways. As operated in PJM, the state estimator (an algorithm that evaluates the physical state of the grid) typically will anticipate 2,000 credible contingencies at more than 2,000 monitored elements in its system, resulting in 4 million potential configurations. This information is incorporated into the prices provided to market participants to ensure that operations include a level of conservative assumptions. This marriage of available technology, systems, and a transparent pricing system yields fast results in operation that benefit reliability while providing for the most efficient outcome from an economic standpoint.
In short, LMP enhances reliability in a manner that no penalty regime can achieve. The recent decision by the stakeholders of MISO to delay the adoption of an LMP market, therefore, will only delay the improvements in reliability that so many correctly want to achieve. This unfortunate decision should be reviewed and reversed as soon as possible.
- The Western Electric Coordinating Council recently has adopted mandatory standards with an associated penalty structure.

At stake in case of alleged abuser are Brooklyn DA's actions, state's Freedom of Information laws.
Next week, attorney and author Michael Lesher will argue before New York State's highest court for the release by the Brooklyn District Attorney of documents he has been seeking since 2007, related to the failed extradition of Avrohom Mondrowitz.
Mondrowitz, an alleged serial Orthodox child molester who fled to Israel in 1984 before an arrest warrant could be executed, was indicted in absentia by a Brooklyn grand jury on 14 counts — including five counts of sodomy in the first degree — in 1985.
An attempt to extradite Mondrowitz in 1985 failed, and he remained free in Israel until he was arrested in 2007; the arrest came after a renewed extradition request following a change in the extradition treaty between Israel and the United States. After going up to the Israeli Supreme Court, that extradition attempt also failed.
At stake in this case is not only whether or not Lesher — and the public — will get to learn more about the actions of the Brooklyn DA, Charles Hynes, other U.S. and Israeli government agencies and the Orthodox community in the Mondrowitz case, but the effectiveness of New York State's Freedom of Information laws.
Lesher, who represents several Orthodox alleged victims of Mondrowitz at no charge, believes the documents may shed light on why efforts to extradite Mondrowitz stalled for so many years and to what extent, if any, pressure from the politically powerful ultra-Orthodox community played a role.
"This record ought to show us something about what Hynes' office was really doing while Mondrowitz's victims struggled to have him brought back to face justice — its actions, its considerations, its motives and any outside pressures brought to bear on the D.A," Lesher told the Jewish Week.
He added that, "It may also shed light on the real workings of the Kol Tzedek program, which yoked Hynes' office to powerful Orthodox organizations while the Mondrowitz extradition case was pending."
Lesher also believes that Hynes' steadfast refusal to produce the documents indicates that the DA may be trying to hide something.
"If there's nothing in this file to embarrass the DA, why has he fought for so long to conceal it?" Lesher asked.
Lesher's appeal comes at a time of increasing controversy about the Brooklyn DA's refusal to release information about the identities of 90 Orthodox child molesters his office claims to have arrested since 2009. That was the year it launched Kol Tzedek, a confidential hotline working in partnership with OHEL Children's Home and Family Services and other Jewish nonprofits, to encourage Orthodox victims of sexual abuse to report these crimes to secular authorities.
Hynes has justified his refusal to release this information by invoking New York civil rights law intended to protect the privacy of victims; he has claimed that to reveal the name of an alleged perpetrator could somehow, even outside of cases of incest, identify the victim.
Legal experts have questioned the validity of this justification, and some observers speculate that the DA's policy is politically motivated. It is aimed, critics say, at shielding the community and its institutions — as well as the DA's office itself — from the scrutiny that could result if more information was known about these cases and how they were handled.
(Charges that Hynes treats the Orthodox community with kid gloves have dogged him for years. A 2003 Newsday article quoted a retired police captain saying, "In Brooklyn, it almost seemed like there were two penal codes, one for the Hasidic community and one for everyone else." The DA's office rejected the charge, saying its decisions were not politically motivated.)
A spokesman for the DA has declined to answer further questions about the policy regarding the release of the names of Orthodox molesters who have been arrested.
Lesher first became involved in the Mondrowitz case in 1998, as a journalist, when he filed Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests with several government agencies for records relating to the Mondrowitz case. He obtained from the DA a number of documents, including police reports and witness statements, redacted so as to remove identifying information about the victims.
Lesher also obtained from federal authorities — though not from the DA, who also should have had it, given he was its intended recipient — a copy of the memo sent to Hynes' office by the Justice Department demanding to know by Sept. 15, 1993 whether the DA wanted the federal government to keep the Mondrowitz file open. Hynes' office replied with instructions to the federal government to close the case as long as Mondrowitz remained in Israel. Lesher suspects this request came under pressure from the ultra-Orthodox community.
In October 2007, following reports that Israel's justice ministry had received an extradition request from the Brooklyn DA, Lesher made another FOIL request seeking records of the case from 1993 to the present. One of the things Lesher hoped to discover was whether the extradition request was made in January 2007, as the DA publicly claimed, or later, after "a period of dithering or outright resistance."
Indeed, Mondrowitz was not arrested in Israel until November 2007, just days after a major exposé about his alleged crimes and flight from justice appeared in the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz.
Hynes denied Lesher's FOIL request, claiming that because the treaty had changed and extradition was now a possibility, the case had become an "active prosecution," which exempted disclosure of the documents under FOIL.
After Hynes' denial, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge granted Lesher access specifically to the correspondence related to Mondrowitz's extradition. However, an appellate panel unanimously reversed this decision, agreeing with the DA that the release of the documents could interfere with an ongoing investigation and identify victims of a sex crime, "even though redaction might remove all details which 'tend to identify the victim[s]'."
Then, in what the New York Law Journal pointed out was what a highly unusual move, the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, agreed to hear Lesher's case.
At his appearance next week, Lesher will argue that by permitting a law enforcement agency to withhold any and all documents "that may have something to do with the target of a possible future prosecution," the Appellate Division has created an entirely new justification for withholding information under FOIL." This is of particular concern because, as Lesher argues, FOIL "mandates liberal disclosure of documents to the public."
Indeed, according to Robert Freedman, the executive director of the Department of State Committee on Open Government, "Even if it can successfully be argued that the extradition materials were compiled for a law enforcement purpose, in consideration of changes in circumstances [the now closed extradition case], it may be difficult for the DA to prove that disclosure at this juncture would in some way be damaging."
In fact, last month the New York Civil Liberties Union filed an amicus brief in support of Lesher's appeal, arguing, in essence, that agencies have an obligation — already recognized by the high court — to redact and release, rather than withhold, documents. The brief further notes that permitting agencies to make blanket assertions of FOIL exemptions without demonstrating how the release of specific records would be damaging is inconsistent with the Court's earlier rulings.
While Lesher is hoping to prevail in order to learn more about how the Mondrowitz case was handled, those concerned with Freedom of Information laws also consider this to be a very important matter.
Indeed, according to Freedman, "reconsideration by the Court of Appeals of the statue that forbids the disclosure of the entirety of a record that identifies a victim of a sex offense would be welcomed by many. In too many instances that statute has served to protect defendants, which clearly could not have been its intent."

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
You should mention that Mr. Lesher is also an Orthodox Jew. The NYJW seems to only identify Orthodox Jews when they disagree with their behavior.
Michael Lesher is quietly yet persistantly the only man left standing in support of those victimized by Avreml Monderovich ym"s. Without renumeration for his hard work and expenses he singlehandedly is taking on the monstrous and corrupt state burocracy in the name of justice and tikkun haolam. As 1 who has met Michael regarding his work on behalf of victims I am impressed beyond words. As a member of the Ultra-Orthodox I can honestly say he is probably more qualified to sit near the shechina in the World to Come than the dredges of society who make up our roster of askonim and rabbonim today. More power to you, Michael!

Thanks for the formal introduction. It's good having you on board. There are quite a few woman who generally stop by this site, although it seems that they get tied up from time to time. I, however, need to visit SparkPeople daily and keep in touch to keep my head going the right direction, so I'm always here!
I think Beck Diet Solution is an amazing book. I knew if I could change my brain I could be successful at losing weight. I have certainly dieted enough to know how to lose it, it was just keeping myself motivated that was the challenge. The list of Advantages really helps that.
Glad to have you on board! I love your insight!
Feeling healthy is much better than ANY food tastes!!!
STG - Have a 4 week streak!
I think I forgot to introduce myself. I'm 58 and we live in Phoenix (hence the name Phoenician). I got started on this because I checked the book out of the library and liked what I read so I bought it. Years ago, I had good results using cognitive therapy methods so I have faith this will work if I work at it.
We (my husband and I) had already been working on increasing our exercise at the gym. My initial diet challenge will be not eating large portions and not taking seconds. Since I am quite overweight I should be able to lose some weight just doing that plus the added exercise.
I started by logging my meals on my computer in a word file but when I came to the step where it said to find a coach I looked for help online. First I tried another support website. It was easier to post and see new messages there. I am still not sure how to best use the forums here. I don't like having to use my email to see new messages.
But I like the calorie tracking and workout tracking features here so I am using this site. I've been working the BDS since 9/11 of this year and only lost 5 pounds so far but I feel I am really learning about myself and how to overcome over-eating. I am learning some things that I knew already but really comprehending them this time.
Anyway, I am quite optimistic about this working in the long run.

Britax Storage Pouch
Good accessory
jack from Battle ground, WA– Verified Buyer
If you have a britax car set this will install quickly. Not to big but enough room to store snacks and small toys
Mom from Highland, UT– Verified Buyer
Good to have handy storage but it is installed under the cover of the car seat, so the cover comes up easily.
Does the job
Christine Sweet from Coventry, RI– Verified Buyer
It's a little small for the money. Can only put a play phone and a tiny book in this and my toddler doesn't realize it is there...this is mostly for the parent to store little toys.
Today, American parents are discovering the features, safety, and style built into every Britax child seat and booster seat. Introduced in America only ten years ago, Britax seats have already developed a strong following among moms and dads, grandparents and top-end auto makers like Porsche and Mercedes Benz who appreciate Britax quality and flair for style.

Added Dec 5, 2011

Auckland, New Ze...
This is a jacket which I made from Burda 8592 with a few adaptions. Firstly I adjusted the size and fit as I made it out of grey sweatshirting material rather than a woven fabric. I also left it unlined as it is a casual jacket. I adjusted the sleeves considerably to get a wide rather than fitted sleeve. The original pattern has the sleeves made from two peices I replaced this with one wider sleeve. I also made a wide belt to fasten the jacket with. There are no other fastenings. I had made the pattern before so I had some idea of fit. Initially this was made as another layer to wear while working or around home to keep me warm, but I really liked the finished result and it has had considerable use as a comfy, only slightly casual, outerwear piece on many occasions.
The credit line won't allow me to include the pattern details so again this pattern is largely based on:

David Harsanyi: So, what's next, Mr. President, now that the rich will pay more?
The worst part of the fiscal cliff deal isn't the specifics - though they do stink. It's being reminded again how utterly detached Washington is from reality.
The question, now that we've finally hiked taxes on the rich (and doesn't everyone feel better knowing that life is that much fairer?), is: How are we going to continue paying for the government we've been promised? As it turns out, raising tax rates on the "wealthy," the most pressing issue of the Obama Age, amounts to a mere $620 billion of new revenue.
To put it in perspective, the deficit spending this year alone was more than $1 trillion. So the fiscal deal will supposedly bring in $620 billion in new revenue over the next decade, which is less than any year's worth of debt under President Barack Obama. If redirecting resources from private-sector investments to green energy subsidies feels like a victory, congratulations.
But if you're not a class warrior, a Hollywood studio, a maker of electric motorcycles, a booze producer from Puerto Rico, an algae grower or NASCAR - all of which are subsidized in the bill - you're out of luck. For the rest of you, there are higher taxes. The expiration of the payroll tax holiday means that Washington will continue to pretend Social Security and Medicare are "paid for," and according to the Tax Policy Center, 77 percent of you will see your taxes rise an average of $1,635 per year.
The "American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012," indeed.
For all of you, there is also more debt, as the Congressional Budget Office found that the fiscal cliff deal increases the deficit by $4 trillion.
Yes, this is what Americans voted for in November. But if we're supposed to believe that this deal reflects a "balanced, responsible" approach as the President asserts, what does the future hold? The GOP has surrendered on its core issue: It voted for a tax hike. Obama? No spending cuts. No tax reform. No debt reduction. No entitlement reform. There is no balance. And none is coming.
How can we expect any useful policy to emerge from manufactured crisis, anyway? Nearly every decision made during Obama's presidency has been conducted under the canopy of catastrophe. The result is hastily assembled legislation that is larded up with goodies. It's no accident.
And a newly elected Congress will be immediately submerged into another round of "negotiations," this time centered on the debt ceiling (which we've already hit). Failure to surrender to the President's demands allows the media to portray Republicans as the ones pushing the nation into default/over cliffs/etc. Low-information voters will soon be informed by Democrats that the debt ceiling, rather than debt, is the villain.
Even if we concede that Republicans, with no leverage or leadership to speak of, did the best they could in averting even higher taxes, they still lost. And the dynamics of the debate have not changed. This might be politically fortuitous for the President, but it is a disaster for the rest of us. Obama is unserious about debt because anything that cuts the size of Washington threatens his agenda. But a looming $50 trillion unfunded entitlement crisis is real. And the party in charge hasn't offered any concrete ideas on how to deal with it.
So now that the rich pay more, it'd be nice if we could stop incessantly complaining about how dysfunctional Washington has become - as if ideological unanimity were something to be desired in a free nation - and start talking about how indifferent the President has been on one of the critical issues we face.

About the IP
HIV/AIDS Resource Guide for Extension Workers
The HIV/AIDS Resource Guide for Extension Workers was launched in Uganda on 18 August 2004. The guide has been developed in collaboration between the IP and the National Agricultural Advisory Services in Uganda (NAADS).
The guide is meant as a tool for extension workers to better understand what impacts the HIV/AIDS epidemic has on the agricultural sector and rural livelihoods. Most importantly the Guide aims at increasing the uptake of appropriate responses to the epidemic by the agricultural sector as a whole, community extension workers, and the rural households involved in farming, fishing and livestock. Download Resource Guide in PDF (1200 kB).
The impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods in Northern Province, Zambia (2004)
FAO, in close collaboration with Development Cooperation Ireland (DCI) and the Government of Zambia, has recently completed a household livelihood research among 740 households in the Northern Province of Zambia. The research aimed at gaining a better understanding of the dynamics in assets and livelihood strategies that are induced by the presence of HIV/AIDS and at identifying appropriate livelihood interventions for HIV/AIDS affected and vulnerable households. Download document in PDF (867 kB).
Impacts of HIV/AIDS on agricultural production, food security and rural livelihoods in Namibia, Uganda and Zambia (4 reports published in 2003) The relationships between HIV/AIDS, gender, food security and rural livelihoods, have been explored in detail by the IP in Namibia, Zambia and Uganda. The findings in the reports below show that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is slowly eroding food security, damaging rural livelihoods, exacerbating poverty and increasing gender inequalities. The reports further identify existing and potential coping strategies for mitigating the impacts, and recommends ways of adopting and supporting the most effective of these.
You can find a summary of the impacts here or download an 8-pages brochure in PDF. If you are not able to download the brochure or reports, please contact the firstname.lastname@example.com to obtain copies.

May 30, 2014The Den was an amazing experience, it's a film full of intensity and effective jump scares, one of the best found-footage films of the year, one of the best films of the year, very, very underrated, i just love this film and all the issues realted with the "Deep Web".… Full Review »
Jun 3, 2014Consensus: The Den is an underrated horror masterpiece, extremely violent, filled with jump scares and tense situations related to the mysterious "Deep Web". 91/100 (A-)
Directed by Zachary Donohue, The Den is an underrated found-footage film of 2014. There are now a lot of found footage films, mostly of them are trashy. The Den is that rare, little and unfamous found-footage film that unusually works. I saw this film at night with the lights turned on. My sister was using her laptop beside me and she said me "Why are you jumping so much?" and then i said to her "I'm watching an horror film called The Den". This film is definitly the best found-footage film of the year and one of the best films of the year for me, i really don't care your **** opinion.
Horror is my favorite genre but horror films don't scare me at all, i just like the genre. The Den scared me so much, forget The Conjuring and The Exorcist, this was a real frightening experience. This is my kind of film, very impressive, very scary, epic and unforgettable. This film scared me so much that i almost die, i couldn't sleep that night, literally, i'm not a thirteen year-old girl!, this film is scary because all the situations that these characters experienced are real.
"The Den" is extremely violent and messes with you, you'll jump, you'll be entertained, This underrated gem is awesome. Elizabeth Benton (Melanie Papalia) logs onto a video-chat site known as the Den, on a mission to explore the habits of its users. During one of her random video-chats, Elizabeth watches in horror as a teenage girl is gruesomely murdered in front of her webcam. While the police dismiss it as a viral prank, Elizabeth believes what she saw is real and takes it upon herself to find the truth.
Its execution is impressive, it's a very entertaining film, for some people it's a bit silly and mediocre, i really don't understand all the people who dislike this little horror masterpiece. Horror genre need more films like The Den, because this film is modern and REAL, this film was inspired in a true story, have you even noticed?. The film is very different and very smart compared to all these new trashy found-footage films like (Mr. Jones, Alien Abduction, etc). The characters here are pretty likable and you care of them, the performances are excellent, Melanie Papalia, the protagonist, does a remarkable job here as the other performers. The direction, just WOW!, Stunning, vibrant, energic, mind-twisted, amazing. Very effective and entertaining film.
There are here a lot of violent, disturbing, epic and unforgettable scenes, the first act is creepy as hell and has some suspense. The second act is violent and filled with a lot of effective jump-scares. The third act is an explosion, lots of action, lots of violence, BOOM! (kinda remind me to Saw and Hostel in all the right ways). Watch this film in your computer, it's a full experience. Not perfect but close to it, It will blow your brains out.
The Den develops perfectly very important issues like the mysterious "deep web". One tip before you see this film, search on Google "Deep Web" then... see this film. Don't watch any trailer or read the full synopsis, just do this. You won't sleep. Visit my blog: www.memobosque.blogspot.mx Twitter: @MemoBosque… Full Review »
Mar 31, 2014It is below mediocre, nothing remarkable, it is basically a little slasher horror film with an internet connection. The creators are just willing to deliver the same usual scares, with just adding complexity to the plot that is ineffective!… Full Review »

WARNER ROBINS -- Despite forming less than six months ago, the Historic Heartland Orchestra is big on sound.
Conductors Jason Economides and Patty Baser are both violin players.
The transplants from Michigan were involved with orchestras in their hometown. Both have music degrees.
Baser teaches music at two Bibb County schools, while Economides freelances with his violin in orchestras while giving private violin lessons in Macon and at Wesleyan College.
The new orchestra is designed for all ages and skills.
Dont worry about your level, Economides said.
Currently the group has two dozen members, who range in age from 10 to 72.
Its nice to have that intergenerational combination, Baser said.
Baser and Economides two children, Zoe and Eleni, both play the violin in the group.
One of the thoughts behind the group is to bridge the gap between youth orchestra and professional play.
This orchestra was built out of a need to fill the gap between where youth symphony ends and where the professional groups pick up, said Economides.
For its first rehearsal Thursday after a break for the holidays, there were eight players, including four violins, a bass, a trumpet, flute and oboe while Economides conducted.
Though small in number, the sound produced by the few who attended was powerful.
This is a nice piece, Economides said while conducting the group during the first run through of the music.
The group practices 7-9 p.m. Thursdays at Green Acres Baptist Church in Warner Robins, where it held its first concert in November.
Kathy Giddens, who plays viola and is also the manager of the group, was busy putting sheet music on the music stands before practice.
She hopes the orchestra gains momentum and members.
Our group is for recreation and education, though we encourage professionals and former professionals to come help us be the best we can be, Giddens said.
For more information about the orchestra, go to www.hhcommunityorchestra.weebly.com.

The Stars My Destination
iPicturebooks, 2011 - Fiction - 236 pages
#5 in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written. "Science fiction has only produced a few works of actual genius, and this is one of them"-Joe Haldeman "Bester at the peak of his powers is, quite simply, unbeatable"-James Lovegrove Marooned in outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had intended to leave him to die.When it comes to pop culture, Alfred Bester (1913-1987) is something of an unsung hero. He wrote radio scripts, screenplays, and comic books (in which capacity he created the original Green Lantern Oath). But Bester is best known for his science-fiction novels, and The Stars My Destination may be his finest creation. With its sly potshotting at corporate skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary, and has maintained its status as an underground classic for fifty years. (Bester fans should also note that iPicturebooks has reprinted The Demolished Man, which won the very first Hugo Award in 1953.)Alfred Bester was among the first important authors of contemporary science fiction. His passionate novels of worldly adventure, high intellect, and tremendous verve, The Stars My Destination and the Hugo Award winning The Demolished Man, established Bester as a s.f. grandmaster, a reputation that was ratified by the Science Fiction Writers of America shortly before his death. Bester also was an acclaimed journalist for Holiday magazine, a reviewer for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and even a writer for Superman.

A dual component caulking gun which utilizes a gun body to which there is affixed a dual component cartridge assembly designed to carry dual component cartridges. A ball screw is journaled within the gun body for rotary motion but locked against axial motion and extends in a direction opposite the component cartridge assembly. A pair of ram rods are journaled through the gun body and terminate at the first end in ejector rams and at their opposite end in a transfer bar that is interconnected to the ball screw by means of a ball screw nut.
1. A dual component mechanical caulking gun comprising:
a gun body;
a dual component cartridge assembly affixed to the gun body on a first side of the gun body;
an elongate threaded screw locked within the gun body against axial movement but journaled within the gun body for rotary motion and extending from the gun body in a direction opposite to the first side of the gun body and parallel with the cartridge assembly;
a pair of ram rods extending through and journaled within the gun body for axial movement within the gun body in a line parallel with the elongate screw and each terminating in a ejector ram at a first end thereof on the first side of the gun body and adjacent the cartridge assembly and terminating at their opposite ends on the opposite side of the gun body in a transfer bar; and
thread engaging means interconnected between the transfer bar and the threaded screw whereby rotation of the threaded screw will move the transfer bar and ram rods and ejector rams relative to the gun body in eject and retract directions.
2. The caulking gun of claim 1 wherein the threaded screw is a ball screw and wherein the thread engaging means is a ball screw nut.
3. The caulking gun of claim 1 further including a ratchet assembly interconnected between the threaded screw and the gun body to lock the threaded screw against rotation in retract direction.
4. The caulking gun of claim 3 further including ratchet release means to permit the threaded screw to be rotated in retract direction.
5. The caulking gun of claim 4 wherein the threaded screw is a ball screw and wherein the thread engaging means is a ball screw nut.
The present invention relates to caulking guns and, more particularly, to mechanically operated caulking guns of the type employing dual component cartridges and dual actuating ejector rams for dispensing dual component materials.
There are different types of mechanically operated caulking guns. One of the more familiar ones in the type that uses a ratchet operated by a handgrip to advance a ram rod for dispensing of the caulking material. A second type of mechanical caulking gun is that which utilizes a thread and screw type of mechanism to advance a ram rod for ejecting of the material. It is this latter type to which the present invention is directed.
The caulking industry in recent years has been utilizing dual component materials. These dual component materials are of an epoxy type in many cases and are intermixed in a static mixer and through chemical reaction set up after dispensing. Some of these materials are of different viscosities which create uneven ejection pressures on the ejection rams. Additionally, some of the materials are very thick and difficult to eject and require considerable ejection ram pressure.
The mechanical screw-nut type dual component dispensing guns available in the prior art are subject to jamming by reason of the uneven dispensing pressures created on the ejection pressure creating mechanism. Additionally, such prior art devices utilize a conventional screw and nut type of ejection mechanism and the required pressures very often make operation or rotation of the conventional screw assembly extremely difficult for the operator. Further, the prior art devices suffer from a problem of reverse threading of the screw member by the pressure build up in the cartridges once the operator removes the torque from the screw.
The foregoing problems of conventional prior art caulking guns are addressed in the caulking gun of the present invention.
The dual component caulking gun of the present invention utilizes a metallic gun body to which there is affixed a dual component cartridge assembly for supporting the dual component cartridges to e dispensed. Extending from the opposite end from the carriage assembly and parallel therewith is a ball screw which is secured into the gun body against axial movement but is journaled within the gun body for rotational movement. The opposite end of the ball screw terminates in a turning knob.
The gun body has journaled therein a pair of ejector rods which extend parallel with the ball screw and the cartridge carriage assembly. The ram rods terminate in their first end adjacent the cartridge assembly in ejector rams. The opposite ends of the ram rods are interlocked into a transfer bar which is positioned around the ball screw. A ball screw nut is threaded upon the ball screw and is interconnected to the transfer bar in a manner such that, as the ball screw is rotated, the ball screw nut will advance along the ball screw and thus advance the ram rods relative to the gun body in either eject or retract directions depending upon the direction of rotation of the ball screw.
A ratchet assembly is provided and utilizes a ratchet spline interconnected to the ball screw. A ratchet dog is carried within the gun body and interacts with the ratchet spline to ratchet the ball screw against rotation in the retract direction. A ratchet release is provided which will disengage the ratchet action of the ratchet assembly permitting the ball screw to be rotated in retract direction.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the caulking gun of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the caulking gun of the present invention showing in phantom the dual component cartridges and static mixer;
FIG. 3 is a top sectional view of the caulking gun of the present invention taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the caulking gun of the present invention taken along the lines 4--4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a midsection view of the caulking gun of the present invention taken along the lines 5--5 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a side sectional view of the ratchet assembly utilized in the caulking gun of the present invention taken along the lines 6--6 of FIG. 1.
The dual component caulking gun of the present invention is shown in overall in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. The caulking gun 10 generally includes a gun body 11 which provides the basic foundation for the remaining portions of the gun. A gun handle 12 is attached to the gun body 11 by means of suitable threaded fasteners 13 as best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawings.
Extending in a forward direction from the gun body 11 is a carriage assembly 14. The carriage assembly 14 includes two forwardly extending arms 15 which are secured to the gun body 11 by suitable threaded fasteners 16.
A stirrup 17 is secured to the rearmost portion of the arms 15 and extends down and below the arms for a purpose to be described hereinafter. The forward portion of the arms terminate at and provide a support for a component support bracket 18. The component support bracket 18 includes a recess 19 therein.
As more particularly shown in FIG. 2, a dual component cartridge package 20 is adapted to be positioned within the carriage assembly 14 with the rear portion of the cartridges resting upon the stirrup 17. The forward portion of the cartridges includes a semicircular threaded ejection nozzle 24. When the two cartridges are positioned side by side, the two semicircular nozzles, in their offset position, provide a circular threaded nozzle. The two nozzles, when positioned in side by side relationship as shown in FIG. 2, are adapted to receive a threaded static mixer 21 of a known configuration. Basically, the mixer 21 has therein a spiral type path or mixing element that, during ejection, causes the two components to intermix with one another. A threaded nut 22 cooperates with a flange 23 on the static mixer to thread upon the semicircular nozzles 24 to secure the static mixer 21 in place and hold the two component cartridges together.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the gun body 11 has secured therein and extending rearwardly from the carriage assembly an elongate ball screw 27. The forward end of the ball screw is secured within the gun body 11 within a stepped recess 28. The smaller diameter of the stepped recess is just large enough to accept the ball screw. The larger recess is designed to accommodate a forward thrust bearing 29 which secures the ball screw 27 against axial movement in a rearward direction by means of a roll pin 30.
The ball screw 27 is secured against axial movement in a forward direction with respect to the gun body 11 by means of a rear thrust bearing 31 bearing upon the rear side of the gun body 11. The rear thrust bearing 31 works in conjunction with a ratchet assembly 32 similarly secured to the ball screw 27 by means of a roll pin 33. In this manner, the ball screw 27 is locked in respect to the gun body 11 against axial movement therein while the ball screw 27 may freely rotate relative to the gun body 11.
Rotation of the ball screw 27 is accomplished by means of a turning knob 34 secured to the opposite end of the ball screw 27. The turning knob 34 is secured in place by a shear pin 35.
A ball screw nut 38 is threaded upon the ball screw 27. The ball screw 27 and ball screw nut 38 are of the type that employ circulating balls which rotate around within the ball screw nut and into semicircular grooves within the ball screw 27 in a heretofore known mechanical configuration.
The rearward portion of the ball screw nut 38 includes a threaded portion 39 therein which includes a bore therein to permit passage of the ball screw 27 therethrough. The threaded portion 39 is adapted to thread into and be secured to a transfer block 40 which is positioned around the ball screw 27 and will move with the ball screw nut 38 as it traverses in a forward rearward direction upon the ball screw 27.
The transfer block 40 includes the anchor and driving member for a pair of parallel extending ram rods 41. The rearmost portion of the ram rods 41 include a threaded end thereon which are threaded into the transfer block 40 and secured in place by means of lock nuts 42.
The forward ends of the ram rods 41 extend through the gun body 11 and terminate at their opposite ends in ejector rams 43.
The ram rods 41 are journaled within the gun body 11 within bronze bushings 44. The bronze bushings include a nut flange 45 on one end thereof and are threaded throughout their extremity. The bushings 44 are thus adapted to fit within a boring 46 within the gun body 11 with their opposite end extending beyond the rear face of the gun body 11. A retaining nut 47 threaded upon the opposite end of the bushing retains the bushing in place within the gun body 11.
The details of the ratchet assembly 32 of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 of the drawings. The ratchet assembly includes a ratchet spline 50. As previously described, the ratchet spline 50 is positioned upon the ball screw 27 and is secured thereto by means of a roll pin 33 to maintain the ratchet spline in place and against the rear thrust bearing 31.
The gun body 11 includes a gun body extension 51 which extends rearwardly and beneath the ratchet spline 50. An insert 52 is press fitted into a bore within the gun body extension 51. The insert 52 includes an internal boring 53 therein of a first larger diameter terminating in a drilling of a smaller diameter.
Positioned within the internal boring 53 is a ratchet dog 54 which includes, in its upper portion within the larger bore of the insert, a ratchet paw 55 and an extension shaft 56 of a smaller diameter extending through the smaller boring of the insert 52.
The ratchet dog 54 includes on the extension shaft 56 and within the larger bore a return spring 57. A knurled knob 58 is secured on the lower portion of the extension shaft 56 by means of a roll pin 59.
As best may be seen from FIG. 5 of the drawings, the ratchet assembly is designed with the angle of the splines of the ratchet spline 50 and the angle of the ratchet paw 55 such that the device, under the influence of the return spring 57, will ratchet when turned in a clockwise direction but will lock against rotational movement of the ball screw in a counterclockwise direction. In this manner, as the ball screw 27 is rotated in a clockwise direction by the turning knob 34, the movement of the transfer bar in an eject direction will drive the ram rods 41 and ejector rams 43 into the direction to eject the dual component material from the dual component cartridges. The pressure build up during the ejection process will be prohibited from causing a reverse direction of rotation of the ball screw 27 in the counterclockwise direction whenever the torque is removed from the turning knob. In this manner, undesired reversal of the ball screw is avoided and pressure can be maintained upon the component cartridges without the necessity of having to turn the turning knob to reestablish pressure every time the torque is removed from the turning knob.
As best shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings, whenever it is desired to move the ejector rams into a retract position, the knob 58 is pulled downwardly against the pressure of the return spring 57 to pull the ratchet paw 55 out of engagement with the ratchet spline 50. The lower portion of the insert 52 includes a tang 60 extending downwardly therefrom. The upper portion of the knob 58 includes a similarly proportioned tang 61 which is 180� in alignment from the tang 60. In this manner, once the ratchet dog 54 has been pulled down out of engagement with the ratchet spline, the knob may be turned 180� to align the tangs 60 and 61 to thus maintain the ratchet dog 54 in disengaged position. In this manner, the turning knob 34 may be freely rotated in a counterclockwise direction to retract the ejector rams 43 in order that anew set of dual component cartridges may be put in place into the carriage assembly.
The ratchet assembly shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 of the drawings may be also further modified by the use of a thumb lever to operate the disengagement. What is contemplated is that a lever may be anchored at one end against an appropriate pivot point in the gun body and a pressure point on the thumb lever operate against the knob 58 such that, when cantilevered downwardly, the lever will pull down the ratchet dog 54 while being held by an operator's thumb with his hand upon the handle grip 12 while the operator's other hand is free to turn the turning knob 34 to draw the ejector rams 43 into retract position.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the dual component caulking gun of the present invention provides a caulking gun which is of lightweight and balanced construction. The caulking gun of the present invention also, in its utilization of the ball screw and ball screw nut, is one which can apply great forces upon the dual component material within the cartridges without undue binding of the ball screw. Additionally, by the utilization of the ratchet assembly of the present invention, the dual component caulking gun of the present invention is one which can overcome the problems of reverse threading of the screw actuating mechanism employed in such guns.
The caulking gun of the present invention has been described in respect to the particular embodiment thereof set forth in the specification and as illustrated in the drawings. As a result of such disclosure, other variations and modifications may become apparent to those skilled in the art and therefore, no limitation as to the scope of the invention is intended by the specific embodiments disclosed but the scope of the invention is to be interpreted in view of the appended claims.
