This week's new releases are epic, and there's something for everyone, from romance to fantasy, and even a little history for the grown-ups.
A new 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2' clip shows Bella trying to pretend to look human. And really, it's pretty hilarious watching someone tell Kristen Stewart she needs to slouch more.
If you're looking for a good scary movie, you can watch movies online or stream them directly to your TV this Halloween. We know that cable channels are still showing 'Green Lantern' for the 1,000th time and we know you want to watch good scary movie -- not just any old generic horror movie. So if you're

Get ready for action this weekend! The latest movie releases include good cops, bad cops, and a spooky house at the end of the street.
All right, 'Twilight' fans, your big day is approaching: Summit is bring you a five-film marathon of the entire series, culminating in the premiere of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2.'

After a bachelor party and a wedding, what else could there be for the Wolf Pack to mess up next? Warner Bros. has a few details on 'The Hangover Part 3,' the third and final installment in the trilogy, which has just begun production.

New Pokemon stage hinted for Smash Bros. 3DS
Sakurai is at it again, teasing yet another stage for the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. His newest "Pic of the Day" shows off Reshiram, the legendary Pokemon from the Black and White series, as well as a stage "based off the surroundings of someone's castle."
Since it's announced alongside of Reshiram, we can reasonable assume that it's N's castle. Also, since I assume there's going to be more "this 3DS version looks horrible!" comments, would you rather have better visuals, or a smooth 60fps engine?
Also, I've seen it live -- it looks a lot better!

DBZ Kai has no fillers and thats why i dont know why some people dont like it.
The video quality is also perfect with its 4:3 ratio and clean looking picture that luckily FUNimation did not touch like the other releases.
Look, I LOVE the original DBZ (and Dragon Ball, though this is primarily about DBZ./DBZ Kai).
DBZ Kai is fantastic!
I'm in the middle of season two and I cant get enough. This is how it should've been. It's truly the best way to re-watch this great anime. Read more
I love DBZ Kai. This was a definite buy for me. Only disappointment was that the series is not 16:9 and sticks to the 4:3. Read morePublished 1 month ago by Dylan121
my ps3 broke, so now i cant watch it, but it was awesome while it lastedPublished 2 months ago by Jeremy
Why is this in 4:3 when every other rani me reboot is redone with 16:9 aspect ratio and is completely reanimated. Not just what we already have with out the filler?Published 2 months ago by Kevin
Everyone is SO happy with their little "NO FILLER!" spiel. Let me ask you this, no filler proponents, does Goku have a drivers license? You don't know! Read morePublished 2 months ago by Josh Hatfield

True to the manga with perfect sound and quality. Really kept the action very high and the story on the dot.Published 3 months ago by Daniel Gutierrez
A must have for any DBZ fan. Was skepticalat first but i LOVE this version of DBZ almost more than the original. The only thing i dont like is the voice acting for Gohan. Read morePublished 4 months ago by David the Collector
This is the beginning. The season that started it all. I watched the original DBZ back in 1998 on Toonami. I fell in love. Read morePublished 4 months ago by Joshua Allen Mason
|From this Discussion
|Is Kai a whole new series?
Kai is a 'refreshed' version of Dragonball Z. It is the same show, but with new voice acting, cleaner animation, and all the annoying filler cut out. I would recommend Kai over the original Z cut to anyone, new and old fans alike.

[QUOTE=Come Back to NY]As well all know the ACLU fights all religous (well Christian anyway) forms of expression on public property (even if the masses vote for it as was the case in San Diego two weeks ago)....so why aren't they in Crawford filing suit??
As you can plainly see this handsome, cleanly shaven human being is placing crosses in Crawford on public property...
now, I do not know where in Crawford he is specifically placing them but the government can use anything six feet off the road for their use...[/QUOTE]
Interesting point. I doubt it's public property, honestly, but I also doubt this fellow owns the land he's using.
Anyway, the ACLU doesn;t stop ALL displays. Here in NOVA we've had a few politicans who used religious symbology on their campaign signs (posted in clear public property, like middles of highways and roads) and the ACLU has made no attempt (that I am aware of) to remove them.
I don't usally get worked up over symbology or monument-ism on public land. But I DO get worked up over Crosses or Commandments inside the COurthouse or Town Hall.
I guess, to me, it's like this:
Public Land is (for the most part) public, for use by ALL of the public. That means christians as well as anyone else (like Wiccans). Will of the people, and all that.
But specific Govt Property (Courts, Legislatures, Police Stations, Fire houses, etc) should NEVER have religious monuments on them, for one very simple conceptual reason. The Govt is supposed to be neutral, to be fair and equal to ALL parties and all religious in it's citizenry. Monuments of the Ten Commandments at the door of a Courthouse, like it or not, shatters the implied neutrallity of the Govt.
Its bad enough taht we know we have biased folks like Judge Moore (who you cannot try to claim doesn't allow his religious views to superceede human Law), but we shouldn;t be advertising that failure.

► Mercedes Future Truck 2025 (Autonomous Driving Demo)
The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 constitutes a revolution in
efficiency, safety and networking, a revolution for road traffic and its
infrastructure, for professional driving and for the road transport sector.
This is not a new truck, but rather the key element in the interconnected
transport system of the future. It is being developed as part of the
"Shaping Future Transportation" initiative by Daimler Trucks to conserve
resources and reduce emissions of all kinds. Other aims are to ensure the
highest possible level of traffic safety and to Boost networking with intelligent data
management considerably for tailor-made vehicle and service solutions.
The prototype demonstrated the exciting capabilities of the
Future Truck 2025 back in the summer at speeds of up to 80 km/h in
realistic traffic situations on a section of the A14 motorway in Magdeburg,
Germany. Now the thrilling exterior and interior of that same vehicle are
being revealed.
Autonomous driving:
One of the most interesting questions on the subject of autonomous driving
is the time horizon envisaged for its realisation. In purely technical
terms, turning it into reality on the roads is already feasible within
around five years. In terms of passenger car development cycles, a possible
start is envisaged in 2020. Owing to the more complex factors for heavy
commercial vehicles, the time horizon for such vehicles will, however, be
rather longer – realistically implementation is possible within ten
years, also in view of the legal considerations that still remain to be
The introduction of autonomous driving will not happen digitally from one
day to the next, as development is progressing in a gradual manner:
evolutionary stages are necessary to revolutionise goods haulage on the
roads. In the coming years, new and improved assistance systems will
continue to pave the clearly set-out way to autonomous driving.

2014 Audi RS5 vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 507 Coupe! - Head 2 Head Ep. 51
On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman sets out to discover which
German hot-rod-personal-luxury-coupe is the best you can get. The 507 Coupe
is the last iteration of the W204 C63. With the exception of the very
limited-run Black Series, it's the best C63 that AMG has ever done. Under
its hood sits a hand-built, 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 good for 507
horsepower. What
more do you want? Perhaps something more high-tech, and that's where the
Audi RS5 comes in. The sexy coupe from Quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm features
a 4.2-liter V-8 that spits out 450 hp. That¹s less power than the 507
Coupe makes, true, but the Audi also features AWD, a dual-clutch
transmission, bigger wheels and tires, plus a trick torque-vectoring rear
differential. Which one is quicker? Which one is more fun to drive? Which
one is best? Watch and find out!

The 20-year-old Stanton, batting with a man on in the sixth inning, hit a 1-1 offering from Biscuits reliever Dane De La Rosa over the scoreboard in center, which sits over 400 feet away from home plate in Montgomery. The two-run shot put Jacksonville up, 8-3.
Stanton, MLB.com's No. 3 top prospect, leads all of professional baseball in home runs with 14, two more than Major League leader Paul Konerko. He has five longballs in his last eight games and is batting .343 this season as the Suns' No. 3 hitter.
MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reported May 2 that the Marlins feel "there is no urgency to promote the 20-year-old slugger right now," both for developmental and financial reasons related to his arbitration eligibility.
The right-handed-hitting Panorama, Calif. native is batting .450 against left-handers and .307 against righties this year. He hit 28 homers last season between Class A Advanced Jupiter and Jacksonville after clubbing 39 in 2008 for Class A Greensboro.

Information isn't 'factual' just because you read it on the Internet
To The Daily Sun,
Recently in this forum, we were greeted with another of Earle's fairy tales — not to be confused with a Grimm's Fairy Tales. In this most recent episode, Earle defends his birther friends by claiming President Obama "used fraud to get into the colleges he attended by claiming to be a foreign student." We can be assured that this information is factual because Earle relied on a conservative blog/e-mail he received from "reliable sources."
Being the skeptic that I am, especially as it relates to Earle, I researched his most recent allegations. It appears this particular lie was initiated based on comments made by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, when speaking to a group of local Republicans, he stated that the president MAY have told college admissions officers that he had been born in Kenya in order to receive special perks. Bennett later said that his comments were being "misconstrued" and he was "hinging" his statement on the word "IF." Of course, this misinformation is all the birthers needed to create a lie and cast doubt.
Unlike Earle, I'm reluctant to believe these reports without proof, and once again, unlike Earle, I hesitate to rely on the accuracy of others. "Nuf said."
Over the years, contributors have provided Earle with numerous Fox News lies, but for the sake of brevity I will limit mine to one, and the most obvious — their slogan, "Fair and Balanced." Fox only became "Fair and Balanced" when the Supreme Court in Florida said it was perfectly legal for them to misinform and lie to the public. Never trust a network that continually tries to convince you how "Fair and Balanced" they are.
It's unfortunate that once again I have to respond to Meade's letter, in which he responds with a filtered version of what he thinks I said, and manufactures a version of what he says I wrote. I never offered an apology to Mr. Jones, as Meade suggests, because I didn't feel an apology was warranted. That having been said, it is disheartening to me the way Meade has used Mr. Jones in his petty attacks to my credibility, motives, and my character. An apology, to Mr. Jones, is in order for the crass way in which Meade has manipulated reality and tried to legitimize his gross misrepresentations of facts.

Ask your representatives to support expanding Mediciad in N.H.
To The Daily Sun,
The N.H. Legislature is meeting this week in Special Session to consider alternative plans by which the state could expand its Medicaid program. This is a critical conversation.
Since the Affordable Care Act anticipated the expansion of Medicaid in all states, the failure to do so impacts one portion of the population very significantly.
Without expansion of N.H.'s Medicaid program, individuals with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level will not have access to health insurance. In N.H., that means about 37,000 individuals with incomes of less than $11,000 annually.
This is the very population that stands to benefit the most from Medicaid's benefits. Without expansion, these individuals will continue to rely on the emergency rooms for health care and will, because of cost, avoid preventative measures that could prevent more serious medical conditions.
Please contact your Belknap County state representatives and senators and urge them to support a Medicaid expansion solution that includes the most vulnerable and needy citizens in our state!

None of the suggestions made my ad hoc committee are viable
To The Daily Sun,
In a recent letter to the editor of The Sun, I learned that Bob Greemore, Mike Sylvia and Dick Burchell, Dave DeVoy and George Hurt were meeting "in an effort to catalog possible solutions to the issues surrounding the county jail." Of the five people mentioned, only Bob Greemore has ever even attended a county jail planning meeting. Only Dave DeVoy has ever attended a County Commission meeting, and that was only when he was running for commissioner. With that in mind, I question exactly what makes these five "knowledgeable about the jail." Touring the jail is quite different than understanding how the jail operates and what factors must be considered when discussing repairs to or the replacement of the jail.
Apparently, we can all agree that there are serious problems with the current jail. This includes the need to ease overcrowding, continue to provide beneficial programs, and deal with the deficiencies in the existing facility, including the mechanical systems. This agreement should ordinarily form the basis for a reasonable discussion about how to best craft a responsible, long-term and economically viable solution to our criminal justice system in Belknap County. Instead of having a reasonable discussion, however, these five men choose to announce their intentions and make their proposals in a letter to the editor. Their approach does nothing to advance dialog, but it does avoid the necessity of supporting their position with facts, or answering critical questions that may legitimately arise in a discussion. This suggests that their actions are merely political, and not directed at resolving the problems we face.
The County Commission, county administrators, sheriff, corrections department and our consultants, health professionals, concerned citizens, the county attorney, restorative justice department, defense bar, judges and a host of others have been working on our criminal justice issues, including the jail and house of corrections, for over four years. We have developed a wealth of information, data and input that we are happy to discuss and share. I once again invite
anyone who is interested to come and participate. As always, I include the members of our delegation in this invitation.
I must comment on the allegation that I have not fulfilled my obligation to inspect the jail and report to the Attorney General's office. Had anyone asked me personally, I would have said that as far as the inspections taking place is concerned, I absolutely have. I have inspected the jail, taken people on tours of the jail and have visited the jail regularly, and certainly more than required by NH RSA 30-B:12. Letters regarding the annual visits have not always been filed.
This has been corrected. If anyone wants to discuss this further, call or come to a meeting. I'm happy to discuss it or answer any questions you may have.
As for the specific recommendations of this ad hoc committee, I believe that the authors know that none of their suggestions are really viable. There is no analysis of the staffing requirements, classification restrictions, transportation, food, medical, laundry or other required services that impact the housing of inmates. I'm sure also that at least Rep. Greemore and Mr. DeVoy are aware of the reasons why use of the state school property is not an available option
and I'm sure that they are aware of the position that the people of Laconia have taken about the use of that property for housing prisoners. To say that we have not given serious thought or consideration to alternatives is simply not accurate. That process is a major part of our jail planning process. Likewise, we have asked citizens as well as representatives to participate in the process. We consider taxpayers, and "John Q. Public" to be stakeholders: our current
committee includes members of the public and we invite and welcome the participation of anyone interested in moving this process forward and engaging in the process with an open mind.
There is nothing new in the "options" in this letter to the editor, and having ad hoc meetings out of the public eye to discuss such an important issue does nothing to advance the ball. If these five people really want to be part of the solution, they should come forward and add their voices to the already ongoing discussion. Perhaps they don't feel that they can be persuasive, or perhaps they are afraid of being persuaded. I don't know which it is because they only seem to speak in letters to the editor. That is not my chosen method of communication when doing the county's business, and I don't think it is the appropriate forum.
The jail planning committee will next met on November 19 at the county complex. Please feel free to attend, voice your opinions or concerns, and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Gilford selectmen handling situation responsibly; give them time
To The Daily Sun,
The Laconia Daily Sun has run at least two recent news stories assessing the costs to the Town of Gilford and it would seem attempting to get more specific details on what the basis is for two Gilford police officers to have been placed on administrative leave. While it is probably the job of a newspaper to pursue these lines of inquiry, some of the taxpayers who elect our selectmen to properly investigate and deal with these kinds of issues feel that they have acted most responsibly and probably in the long term, specifically in the taxpayer's interests in this particular, still unknown matter. The selectmen of Gilford are not just new on the job. They in fact have the previous experience in dealing with matters relating to our town employees and whether there have been instances of violations in social responsibility in the work place.
In the past we have had our assistant town administrator acting at that time as temporary administrator from our service untimely ripped and perhaps "poached" by the county commissioners. There was no interruption in the town's heartbeat in that case and another capable town employee stepped in for the weeks it took to find and hire another town administrator, who has so far served very capably and it would seem in tune with the selectmen's general views and objectives. The town also replaced the town's recreational director a few years ago as well and he has also proved to be a very capable fellow. The town has lost several others to recent retirements including a superintendent of schools, a couple principals, and now a DPW Chief. The town continues to demonstrate the ability to attract and keep excellent talent as replacements.
In the past the town has found that it can cost the taxpayers money if someone on our payroll ends up needing removal from a position for having been found not to be working in accordance with the directives and preferences of the duly-elected selectmen or the standards of a job description. We currently find in Nashua a news story that one of the state's leading political journalists — Political Director James Pindell of WMUR news — has termed in one of his columns a "Public Soap Opera". The mayor and the police chief there seem to be at odds as to whether one, the other or both have acted inappropriately in PUBLIC remarks they have made. In one case some remarks about a collective bargaining agreement and then another as to questioning a persons character and motivations. Our selectmen are also meeting of late in private sessions, not just to discuss the Police Department issues but also to discuss a pending collective bargaining agreement. It is hardly expected that collective bargaining in GOOD FAITH can be conducted in the newspapers and other news media.
Our elected selectmen go to great pains as do their respective department chiefs to find and hire the best talent they can get to serve our town. You cannot hire such a person and then suddenly decide they are not what they were when you hired them. You do not readily admit to mistakes in personnel decisions as generally if an employee is found deficient you are first inclined to try and work with that employee and get them on the straighter course and apply some positive motivational schemes. In any case, if an employee is not amendable to a positive change they may need to be disciplined or let go. Most of our taxpayers are not amenable with this, what might be dirty laundry, being turned into salacious grist for the news media to get scoops on or sell papers and advertising with. It is our town's experience and that of our selectmen that such may cause actual damage beyond what is reasonable to an employee and end with the town having additional expenses to the taxpayers for what may end up as valid enhancements to a severance package. Maybe The Sun could get us more up to speed on the "Public Soap Opera" in Nashua and leave our Gilford selectman to continue in private sessions to sort out these issues. There is an agenda schedule posted at each meeting and the Selectmen are in fact making it clear in those agendas that they are working quite diligently on sorting out these issues to EVERYONE'S best interest. They are in this case doing exactly what we have elected them to do.

Bob Meade - Best case, worst case & most likely case . . .
It has become fairly well known that President Obama's administration has the fewest advisors with business experience of any president in memory. Currently, only 8 percent of his advisors have a background in business, as compared to around 50 percent for most of his predecessors; Democrat or Republican. Why is this important? To explain why, we need to distinguish between running a business and running a government program.
In business, the job of the entire management staff, from the president of the company right on down to the first level of supervision, is to "prevent things from happening that you don't want to happen". For example, when a business, or a department within a business, develops its business plan, it will identify the aim or goal of each project. The manager will define what will be considered a success. The manager and his or her staff then set forth a number of assumptions, things they believe will happen if their efforts are successful. However, they don't stop there. They then put a value on each of those assumptions and assess the impact if one or many or all fail to take effect as planned. In this process, the group usually is able to prioritize the achievability of each assumption. They can generally tell which are certain to complete successfully, which have at least a 50 percent chance of being on target, and which ones have lower odds of success and will require that extra effort to achieve.
As the staff develops the assumptions, it also identifies what the benefit from each will mean to the overall plan. For example, a sales plan might well include how much new revenue will result if that assumption comes to pass. A manufacturing benefit might be an increase in productivity, getting the same or more product output with less resources. The result of the planning process is that management can assess the resource and other costs necessary to achieve the "best case", "worst case", and "most likely" scenarios. Is the benefit to be achieved worth the cost necessary for that achievement.
The rigor in the planning process allows the staff to develop three looks at what might happen. The "best case" of those looks is that all assumptions will be met and the highest level of achievement will be attained. The "worst case" will result if many of the assumptions, especially the most critical ones, are not met. And, the third is the "most likely" plan, the one that has weighed the assumptions most likely to come to fruition and the benefits to be derived. Management may view the plan and see that the cost of achieving the best case scenarios is unacceptable because the difference/margin between what is achieved and what it cost for that achievement is simply too small to take the risk.
Why go through that rigorous effort and then not take on that project? Because management is charged with preventing things from happening that you don't want to happen and the first thing a business does not want to happen is to not make a profit. And that's the difference between business and government.
There are a number of government departments, bureaucracies, that have never achieved the goals for which they were established. If they were a business, they would have been shown to not have reached their primary goal, that is, to spend less to achieve the results than the benefits derived from what they achieved.
What we find in government is that failure to achieve often means a department getting even more funds, but the people who provided those funds still not getting the achievement or benefits that were to be expected. What is of even more concern is that the departments, such as Energy and Education have never achieved their goals but have ever increasingly been rewarded with a greater level of taxpayer funding with which they have built an even larger bureaucracy. And we've all seen television reports of those underachieving departments spending enormous sums of money on "team building" niceties; learning line dancing, making a "Patton" movie spoof, and so on.
The latest case of government failure has been the attempt at implementation of the Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare". The results are inexcusable. No businesses would have so heavily advertised for people to contact them in order to sell them a product, without having had the call center and computer systems pre-tested for volume and content many times as the system development progressed. Prior to cut-over, management would have been assured that every aspect worked properly. Businesses don't want to spend huge sums of money to get customers to contact them, and then not be prepared to professionally process the customer request. Companies that have failed to meet that test, are probably no longer in business.
In the case of the Affordable Care Act cut-over, it appears that there was some last minute system testing, and the systems failed miserably. That didn't stop the President or HHS from going forward as, it appears, the customer's (you and me) inconvenience or anxiety doesn't matter . . . just send more tax dollars so they can continue to make the bureaucracy bigger.

Easy six shots
The more you play, the more you will master the game. It is not easy to start hitting six shots from the start. Even after much practice you will find it difficult to play the all the shots. The best way is to play six shots down on the long on and long off boundary using [Down] + [Shift] + S. Players who have good calibre like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, etc. will be find it difficult to hit six shots. If you try with other players you may end up with a mis-timed shot and give a catch. If bowled onto the stumps, for beginners play it down the legside using S + [Right].

Simona grabs 6th with new team, new engine
She has a new team, a real engine and finally the opportunity to show she's the real deal.
AP Auto Racing Writer
She has a new team, a real engine and finally the opportunity to show she's the real deal.
Simona de Silvestro isn't wasting any time seizing the moment.
De Silvestro capped what ultimately may go down as her breakout weekend with a sixth-place finish in Sunday's season-opening IndyCar race at St. Petersburg. She was headed toward a podium finish until Marco Andretti passed her for third with two laps remaining and her old tires couldn't help her hold off teammate Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon.
It didn't temper her mood.
"It's been a good weekend for us, unfortunately we lost a few positions at the end there," the Swiss driver said. "We kind of ran out of tires at the end. I think we can be pretty happy with sixth. Now we know what we have to work on for the next race."
De Silvestro drew raves all weekend from the only people who really matter - her fellow competitors - for her performance on the track from the opening practice. She was fast from the very start with her new KV Racing Technology team, and there was no adjustment period needed for the additional horsepower she's got this season from engine manufacturer Chevrolet.
She spent all of last season driving for small HVM Racing, which was saddled the slow and underperforming Lotus engine. As all the other Lotus teams fled by the Indianapolis 500, HVM was locked into a bad contract and couldn't break free.
It meant de Silvestro, already going against the grain with a smaller team, never had a fighting chance last year because of the Lotus woes.
Now on equal playing field, she mixed it up in every practice session, qualified a career-best third and was running in the top-six the entire race with winner James Hinchcliffe, perennial title contender Will Power and all the other IndyCar big dogs.
"It was really cool to be up front all day with Will, Hinch and everybody. It was awesome," she said.
Her performance was praised after the race from the likes of Mario Andretti, who congratulated her on pit road, and his grandson, Marco, who felt guilty for passing her.
"It's a selfish business," Marco said. "I felt for her, but I needed this so bad."
She was also welcomed warmly into the Chevrolet family by Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of performance vehicle and motorsports.
"We are proud to have Simona with Team Chevy," said Campbell, who also has Danica Patrick representing the Chevy brand in NASCAR.
"She is racing up front in the first IndyCar race of the season with Chevrolet power. She was quick all weekend long. It's going to be an exciting season for her and the team."

Zw rezzceiffla y TORNEYS United States Patent 3,396,561 HYDRAULIC DIE ASSEMBLY FOR THE FORMING OF SHEET MATERIAL Lawrence E. Day, Huntington, W. Va., assignor to Houdaille Industries, Inc., Buffalo, N.Y., a corporation of Michigan Filed May 19, 1965, Ser. No. 457,010 20 Claims. (Cl. 72-63) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An hydraulic die assembly for installation in a conventional press for the hydraulic forming of sheet material, such as metal, in which the die assembly includes a distensible diaphragm through which hydraulic pressure is transmitted to stretch and form a work blank to the shape of a die cavity. The die assembly includes an upper die, forming a downwardly opening die cavity and having a marginal plane downwardly facing surface; a floating draw ring having a cylindrical bore opening toward said die cavity and having a marginal upwardly facing plane surface confronting that of the die; a stationary piston in the bore; a flexible diaphragm secured to the top of the draw ring, extending over the bore opening and clamped between said confronting plane surfaces; and a pressure transmitting hydraulic fluid confined in said bore between said piston and said diaphragm and in contact with both thereof; whereby with sheet material clamped between said confronting plane surfaces between said diaphragm and said die cavity opening, fluid pressure is transmitted through said diaphragm to stretch and shape said sheet material to the form of said die cavity.
This invention relates to an hydraulic die assembly for installation in a conventional press for the hydraulic forming of sheet material such as metal. More particularly, the invention relates to a die assembly that includes a flexible or distensible wall through which hydraulic pressure is transmitted to draw a work blank to the desired shape. Existing presses such as are used in the drawing or shaping of sheets of metal and other materials can be rather simply and inexpensively adapted for the hydraulic shaping of such sheets by the installation in such presses of the hydraulic die assembly of my invention.
It is therefore an important object of my invention to provide an hydraulic die assembly that can be readily installed in an existing press to convert the same into equipment for the hydraulic drawing of sheet material into the desired shape.
It is a further important object of my invention to provide improved hydraulic die means employing a flexible or distensible wall for the more efficient shaping of sheet material than when the shaping is accomplished by a purely mechanical die in a drawing operation.
Other and further important objects of this invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference numerals are used to designate like parts and, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a top plan view with parts broken away, of the left half of the lower portion of an hydraulic die assembly embodying the principles of my invention;
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view, with parts in elevation, taken substantially along the line IIlI of FIG- URE 1 but with the upper portion of the die assembly in cooperative relationship with the lower portion for the hydraulic forming of a work piece;
FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line III--III of FIGURE 2, with parts shown in elevation;
FIGURE 4 is a vertical sectional view, similar to FIG- "ice URE 3, illustrating the relationship of the parts of the die assembly prior to the closing of the press;
FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary sectional view, similar to that of FIGURE 3, illustrating the position of the flexible or distensible wall of the hydraulic die at an intermediate stage of the forming operation; and
FIGURE 6 is a vertical sectional view, generally similar to FIGURE 2 but illustrating a modification of my hydraulic die assembly for use in forming shapes having a reentrant end contour.
As shown in FIGS. 1-5, inclusive, the reference numeral 10 indicates generally an hydraulic die assembly embodying the principles of my invention. Said hydraulic die assembly 10 is adapted to be installed in an existing press between an upper press ram 11 and a lower bolster 212, both of which are illustrated in FIG. 3 rather schematically and fragmentarily.
While described as associated with presses of conventional or existing types, it will be understood that the hydraulic die assembly of my invention can be used with various types of equipment, both verticaland horizontalacting, that include relatively movable, power-operated members similar in nature and operation to the press ram, or punch, and the bolster, or lbed-plate, of a conventional punch press. With regard to the power requirements of the press or other similar equipment that may be used with my hydraulic die assembly, this, of course, will vary in accordance with the particular sheet material to be shaped and the magnitude of the forces required to form the desired shape. However, where high tensile, drawing quality, steel blanks are used of from 0.090 to 0.125 inch in thickness, as in the forming of automotive Vehicle bumpers and the like, presses of 1600 tons capacity or over would typically be required for the shaping operations.
With particular reference to FIG. 3, the press ram 11 carries at its lower end a punch shoe 12, in which is mounted a die 13, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the upper die. As illustrated, the die 13 is mounted in a downwardly facing recess 14 in the lower face of the punch shoe 12, the die 13 being held in said recess in part by force-fitting shims 15 and in part by wedging members and bolt means 68 later to be described. Said die 13 is provided with a downwardly opening cavity 16, the forming walls 17 of which are of the desired contour and dimensions to impart to a blank, indicated by the reference numeral 18 (FIG. 4), the shape to which it is to be formed.
The die assembly 10 includes a lower die shoe v19, herein termed a draw ring holder, which is positioned on and bottomed against the bolster 212. Said bolster 212 is provided with a plurality of bores 20, and the draw ring holder 19 is provided with other bores 21 aligned with said bores 20 for the passage therethrough of transfer pins 22, sometimes called air pins. Said pins 22 abut at their lower ends against a pad 23 arranged for vertical movement within a chamber 24 formed beneath a bolster 212 in an air pad device 25. As is well understood, the pad 23 is supported by air, or other gas or oil, or a combination of air and hydraulic media, maintained under pressure within an extension of the chamber 24 below the air pad 23.
The pressure, whether hydraulic, pneumatic, or a combination of the two, maintained within the extension of the chamber 24 below the air pad 23 will generally be a constant pressure, but one capable of adjustment, either automatically or manually. Downward movement of the press ram 11, of course, acts through the punch shoe 12, die 13, draw ring 26 and pins 22 against the pad 24, as will later more fully appear. The draw ring 26, or floating ring as it is sometimes termed herein, is carried upon the upper ends of the pins 22. As illustrated, said draw ring 26 has lower side flanges 27 that rest against the upper ends of said pins 22. The pins 22 are not attached at either end but are merely freely received in and guided by the continuous bores provided by the aligned bores and 21.
Said draw ring 26 is provided along a longitudinal median line with a plurality of relatively large diameter, central bores 31 (three in number, as illustrated) that are preferably cylindrical and that extend vertically completely through the draw ring 26. The draw ring 26 is illustrated as having a total in all of seven bores of which said three central bores 31 are identical in all respects. The other bores, 32 and 32a are arranged outwardly of the bores '31, :one group being shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 on the left side of the draw ring. The bores 32 and 32a are of a different size and arrangement from the bores 31 for a purpose that will later on appear. Inasmuch as each of the three bores 31 is identical, Only one need be described herein.
Again, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bore 31 therein illustrated has a lower, enlarged cylindrical portion 33 into which is snugly fitted a cylinder sleeve 34. A retaining ring 35, suitably secured to the underside of the draw ring 26 and interfitting with the lower shouldered end of the cylinder sleeve 34, as at 37, serves to retain said sleeve in the bore portion 33. A stationary piston 36 closes the lower open end of the cylinder sleeve 34.
The lower end of each of the pistons 36 is provided with an annular groove 38, into which extends with clearance, an annular inturned flange 39 provided on a retaining ring 40. Said retaining ring 40 is suitably secured to the upper surface of the draw ring holder 19 by plates 41 and by other means, not shown. A slight amount of clearance is provided between the inturned flange 39 and the corresponding wall of the piston groove 38, and, additionally, the piston 36 is so mounted that even though it is essentially a stationary piston and is so described, it is self-aligning with respect to the axis of the co-axial cylinder sleeve 34. This is accomplished by providing each piston 36 with a lower segmental spherical convex surface 42 and providing a conforming concave surface 43 on a seating disc 44 mounted therebelow in an oversized cylindrical recess 45 formed in the draw ring holder 19. Thus, during relative movement between each piston 36 and the draw ring 26 there is automatic self-aligning as between the piston 36 and its cylinder 34.
The draw ring 26 is provided with a recess or groove 46 in the upper surface 47 of said draw ring for receiving the reinforced peripheral edge 48 of a flexible and/ or distensible diaphragm 49. Said groove 46 lies outside of and includes the several through-bores 31, 32 and 32a so that said diaphragm 49 extends completely across the open upper ends of said bores and also, of course, spans the projected opening of the die cavity 16 in the upper die 13.
The diaphragm 49 may be made of rubber or other suitable elastic material, but it need not be elastic so long as it is sufiiciently flexible to conform to the die cavity wall contour. The peripheral edge 48 of said diaphragm 49 is provided with a mounting ring 50 of hard rubber, steel, or other hard composition in the form of an endless strip, preferably rectangular in cross-section, around three sides of which, including the underside, the peripheral margin 48 of the diaphragm 49 is wrapped and, preferably, to which said peripheral margin is bonded. The thus reinforced periphery 48 of the diaphragm 49 is positioned and held in the receiving groove 46, and prefera-bly locked therein by means of bolts 150 threaded into the mounting ring 50 with their headed ends retained in countersink 151 in the draw ring 26.
Each of the bores 31, 32 and 32a forms a receptacle above the corresponding piston 36 that is open at the top except for the diaphragm 49 and the receptacles so formed are in open flow communication with each other beneath the diaphragm 49. An hydraulic fluid, indicated generally by the reference numeral 51, during normal operation of my hydraulic die assembly substantially fills all of the space below the diaphragm 49, including the bores 31, 32 and 32a and, the diaphragm permitting it, the space thereabove connecting the upper open ends of the bores. For clarity, the hydraulic fluid has not been shown in some figures of the drawings.
The hydraulic fluid may suitably be oil or any other fluid normally liquid at room and operating temperatures. Means for introducing an hydraulic liquid into the draw ring 2 6 include one or more feed lines 52 connected through a coupling and nipple assembly 53 to a passageway 54 in the wall of the draw ring 26 that opens into a bore 31 or 32. In order to insure complete filling of the space beneath the diaphragm 49 when the filling takes place while the diaphragm 49 is in its normal, at-rest condition (FIG. 4), means are provided for carrying off the surplus hydraulic fluid and also any air or other gas that might be entrapped beneath the diaphragm 49. Such means include tubing 55 having an upturned angular portion 56 open at its upper end 57. Said tubing 55 is connected through suitable couplings 58 to an outer discharge line 59. Means 60 serve to seal the outer end of the passageway 61 provided in the wall of the draw ring 26 for the hydraulic fluid and gas venting means. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the upper open end 57 of the venting tubing 55 is so positioned as to be approximately at the level of the upper open end of each bore so that with the diaphragm 49 at rest, the mid-portion of the diaphragm drapes over said upper open end 57. This insures suflicient hydraulic fluid in the system to operate properly and at the same time insures the venting of any surplus of the hydraulic fluid and any air or gas that may have collected under the diaphragm 49.
Some of the more general features of construction will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The punch shoe 12 has already been described as having a recess 14 in which the upper die 13 is mounted. As illustrated in FIG. 2 the securement of the upper die 13 in said recess 14 is accomplished in part by wedge-shaped members 65 at the ends of said die 13, which wedgedshaped members 65 are adapted to be drawn into tight wedging engagement with confronting surfaces 66 and 67, respectively, of the die 13 and the punch shoe 12 by bolts 68. Another feature of construction that seems to require no detailed discussion is the provision of coacting wear plates 69 and 70 for accommodating relative sliding vertical movement between the draw ring 26 and its holder 19. Additionally, the floating draw ring 26 is supported at its ends by pins, similar to the transfer pins already described, that lie along a longitudinal median plane of the die assembly. Said pin 71, like the pins 22 abut at their lower ends the air pad 23 and extend into supporting relation with the draw ring 26. As shown, the upper ends of said pin 71 pass through sleeves 72 inserted in corresponding bores in the lower wall of the draw ring holder 19, with the upper extremities of said pins extending into recesses in the lower surface of a plate 73 on the underside of the draw ring 26. The dotted lines 74 (FIGS. 1 and 2) represent merely cavities in the casting forming the floating draw ring and serve to reduce the total overall weight of the ring.
In order to prevent leakage of the hydraulic fluid between the opposed walls of the cylinder sleeves 34 and the pistons 36, each of said pistons 36 is provided with an annular outer groove at its upper end for reception of a seal ring 91.
As indicated previously, and as best illustrated in FIG. 2, there is a different arangement of bores in the draw ring 26 at the lengthwise ends of the draw ring. Instead of a single bore 31 above each piston 36 there is a smaller bore 32 above the end of each of the pistons 36a and, additionally, a pair of even smaller supplemental bores 32a opening at their lower ends closely adjacent the inner wall of the cylinder sleeve 31a. These supplemental bores 32a supply hydraulic fluid from the space above the piston 36a to the underside of the diaphragm 49 near the ends thereof. This provision of the smaller diameter bore 32 and the even smaller diameter bores 32a is to insure a supply of the hydraulic fluid at the ends of the diaphragm 49 right from the start of the die closing and hydraulic forming operation.
In the modification of my hydraulic die assembly shown in FIG. 6, changes in the construction and arrangement of the upper die and the draw ring are provided in order to make possible the hydraulic forming of articles having in their finished form reentrant curves or profiles. Such an article is indicated by the reference numeral and the re-entrant curve at an end thereof by the reference numeral 101. In the following description of the modification of my invention illustrated in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals as previously used will be used in referring to like parts or elements while different reference numerals will be applied to those parts or elements that have been modified in structure or form. It will be understood, of course, that the hydraulic die assembly of FIG. 6 is adapted to be positioned between the press ram and bolster of a usual conventional press in the same manner as previously described.
The hydraulic die assembly of FIG. 6 comprises a punch shoe 103 per-forming the same function as the punch shoe 12 but of different form and construction to cooperate with an upper sectional die 104 of diflerent form and construction from the die 14. Said die 104 comprises an intermediate section 105 and a pair of end sections 106. Since each of the end sections 106 is a reverse image of the other, only one need be described. The end 106 shown in FIG. 6 has an inner slanting face 107 adapted to abut against a similarly slanting face 108 of the intermediate die section 105 when the assembly is in its operative relationship. This is brought about by a cam action later to be described.
When the press ram is in its raised position, the punch shoe 103 is also raised to a position spaced above draw ring 120, and the end section 106 is at that stage moved outwardly by means including an air cylinder schematically indicated by the reference numeral 109. Said air cylinder is suitably carried in a recessed portion of the underside of the punch shoe 103 and includes a piston (not shown) attached to a rod 110 projecting from the outer end of said cylinder 109. Said rod 110, in turn, is connected at its outer end to a dog 111 slidably mounted in a guideway or gib 112. Said dog 111 has a dependent portion 113 which engages in a corresponding recess in o the upper portion of the corresponding die end section 106 to move the same from its assembled relationship with the intermediate die portion 105, as illustrated in FIG. 6, to an extreme left-hand position (as viewed in FIG. 6) determined by the length of travel of the piston in the air cylinder 109. While not illustrated, it will be understood that the die end section 106 is moved by the operation of the air cylinder 109 to its extreme lefthand position only when the press is open and the draw ring, indicated generally by the reference numeral 120 is separated from the upper sectional die 104 by a distance sufficient to make possible this movement of the die end section 106.
The lower die shoe 114 has upstanding end flanges 115, of which only one is illustrated. Each of said end flanges 115 is provided along its inner surface with an upper outwardly angled guide or slide plate 116 and with an inner vertical guide or slide plate 117. The die end section 106 is provided with an upper vertically arranged guide or slide plate 118 for sliding movement relative to the plate 117, and with a lower inwardly angled guide or slide plate 119 for camming coaction with said guide plate 116. During closing movement of the press, starting with the punch shoe 103 and the lower die shoe 114 separated from one another by the maximum distance permitted, the guide plates 119 first first come into contact with the guide plates 116 at the start of such closing movement and due to the angular relationship of said guide plates, the die end section 106 is moved inwardly toward the intermediate die section 105. When the surfaces 117 and 118 comes into abutment as a result of such inward movement of the die end 106, said guide plates 119 have ridden off of the cooperating guide plates 116 and the guide plates 118 and 117 are maintained in relative sliding relationship during the continued closing movement of the press Additionally, a vertical guide or slide plate 121 provided at each end of the draw ring is automatically brought into contact with the lower extent of the corresponding vertical guide plate 117 on the lower die shoe 114.
In order to insure alignment between the punch shoe 103 and the lower die shoe 114, said punch shoe is provided with a dependent flange 124 at each end, on the inside surface of which is positioned a vertical wear or guide plate 125 for relatively sliding movement in contact with a similar vertical wear or guide plate 126 positioned on the outer end of each of the flanges 115. As each of the die end sections 106 moves inwardly, the air is compressed within the cylinder 109, with the result that the die end sections 106 are held under some outwardly acting pressure against the vertical slides or guideways 117. This relationship continues until the press is again opened, during which movement the die end sections 106 are again free to move outwardly as the inclined surfaces of the guide plates 119 and 116 are again brought into mating relationship. When the opening movement is complete, the die end sections 106 are free of the reentrant ends 101 of the article 100 and the article can be removed from the intermediate die portion 105 or can be permitted merely to drop therefrom.
In the modification illustrated in FIG. 6, the diaphragm, indicated generally by the reference numeral 130 except for size and shape is the same as the diaphragm 49 that has previously been described. Said diaphragm 130 is also similarly provided with a reinforced peripheral edge 131 that includes an endless band or ring 132 of hard rubber, steel, or composition material, to which the margin of the diaphragm is suitably bonded. The draw ring 120 is provided with an outer peripheral groove 133 against the lower and inner walls of which said diaphragm periphery 131 is held. A hold-down pressure is exerted against said reinforced periphery 131 when the die end sections 106 are moved inwardly, or toward one another, since after completion of such movement, an inner wall surface 135 on each of said die ends engages the margin 136 of the work piece 100 and exerts pressure therethrough against said reinforced diaphragm margin 131.
With the closing movement of the press complete, as illustrated in FIG. 6, pressure has been transmitted through the hydraulic fluid 51 and through the distended diaphragm 130 to form the work piece 100 to the shape of the composite die 104 composed of the intermediate die section 105 and the two end die sections 106.
The operation of my hydraulic die assembly as illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, inclusive, is as follows:
With the assembly in the position illustrated in FIG. 4, namely, with the punch ram 11 at the top of its stroke, the draw ring holder 19 bottomed against the bolster 212 and the upper die 13 separated from the draw ring 26, a work blank 18 is placed over the diaphragm 49 to rest against the upper surface 47 of the draw ring 26. At this starting stage of the operation, the draw ring 26 is held in a floating position by means of the transfer pins 22 and 71. This means that each cylinder sleeve 33, while sealed at its lower end by the upper portion of the corresponding stationary piston 36, forms with the upper portion of the corresponding bore 31 a common hydraulic fluid receptacle extending beneath the diaphragm 49' and enclosed thereby. As the press ram 11 moves downwardly into press-closing relationship, contact is first established between the lower surface of the upper die 13 and the periphery of the blank 18. Continued pressure between these surfaces serves to hold the peripheral reinforced edge 48 of the diaphragm 49 in place against pressure tending to push the diaphragm 49 upwardly by virtue of forces transmitted by the hydraulic fluid 51. This condition is illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein the position of the diaphragm 49 is at the stage of its upward flexing at which it first comes in contact with the lowermost portion, indicated by the reference numeral 75 of the contoured wall of the die cavity 16.
At this stage of the operation of the press, the downward force exerted by the press ram 11 is greater than that of the upwardly acting forces exerted through the air pad 23 and transfer pins 22 and 71 to hold the draw ring 26 in its uppermost position (FIG. 4-). A complete seal between the upper die 13 and the floating draw ring 26 through the medium of the blank 18 and the reinforced edge 48 of the diaphragm 49 is thereby established. During continued downward movement of the draw ring 26 relative to the stationary pistons 36 further upward flexing of the diaphragm 49 occurs due to forces transmitted thereagainst by the hydraulic fluid 51 until complete shaping of the blank 1-8 to its final form, indicated by the reference numeral 80 (FIG. 3), is reached. At this stage, the closing pressure of the press ram has overcome the upward pressure of air supporting the air pad 23, with the result that the draw ring 26 reaches its lowest position (also as illustrated in FIG. 3). Simultaneously, substantially all of the hydraulic fluid from the spaces originally defined by the cylinder sleeves 34 has been displaced by the pistons 36 into the upper portion of the common receptacle including the upper bore portions 31, and the forces transferred through the hydraulic fluid 51 and through the diaphragm 49 have finally shaped the work blank into the shape of the die cavity 16.
In the case of a die cavity having in cross section a profile, or contour, that varies as greatly as that illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the hydraulic forming of the work piece by the operation of my hydraulic die assembly just described is much more efficient than where purely mechanical dies are used in the drawing and shaping of a work piece. This can best be appreciated by an understanding of what takes place in the hydraulic forming operation. In the first stage, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the diaphragm 49 under the pressure of the hydraulic fluid first flexes upwardly into contact with the portion 75 of the profile of the die cavity that is lowermost. At the end of this initial stage of the shaping operation, the stresses set up in the work piece 18 are fairly uniform across the diaphragm-supported extent of the work blank. In contrast, where mechanical dies are used the stresses set up in the work piece at an early stage of the forming operation are not at all uniform but vary greatly and are very high initially at the points of maximum change in the angle of the contour or profile of the male die. This is due to the fact that the highest projection in the profile of the male die first engages the work blank and initiates the drawing operation where the severity of the drawing is greatest. In the case of my hydraulic forming operation, however, there is first a rather gradual and uni-form stressing of the work blank and it is only in the latter stages of the shaping operation that the work blank is subjected to the deepest drawing and there-fore to the most severe stresses. The result is that where work pieces are shaped hydraulically in accordance with my invention, there is less tendency to stress the metal (or other material) of the blank beyond its elastic limit and thereby cause a rupture or crack in the work piece.
While the diaphragm 49 may be of any suitable flexible and distensible sheet material, it is prefer-ably formed of rubber, either natural or synthetic, and typically has a Durometer B reading of around 50. In general, it is sufficient if the diaphragm has the ability to stretch in all directions by at least 20% of its original dimensions.
8 The diaphragm need not be elastic but is preferably capable of returning to substantially its original state after being distended or flexed.
If the mounting ring 50 that serves to reinforce the periphery 48 of the diaphragm is formed of rubber, either natural or synthetic, a hard rubber is used having preferably a Durometer B reading in the neighborhood of 75. The mounting ring or strip 50 is preferably bonded to the margin of the diaphragm 49 throughout its extent to facilitate the handling of the diaphragm as a unit. As previously stated, the diaphragm is preferably locked in place.
During the forming operation there may be some inward movement of metal from the margin of the work blank, but this is minor in amount and merely incidental to the forming operation. After the completion of the forming operation the remaining marginal portion is sheared or otherwise removed from the shaped article.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.

SOUTH BEND – It passes so quickly, in the end. One minute you're running out of that tunnel for the first time, and it's worlds removed from those Friday nights against Snider or Luers or, down the playoff line, Lowell or Cathedral. The next ...
The next, the leaves have gone russet and gold and wine-red, one last time. You're walking into the stadium with Touchdown Jesus at your back, one last time. And there goes four or five years, vanishing between one beat of your pulse and the next.
It just flies by, says one Dwenger guy, tight end Tyler Eifert, who's likely playing his last game in Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
It's crazy, really crazy, says the other Dwenger guy, wide receiver John Goodman, who's definitely playing his last home game.
He smiles.
Thinking about what Manti (Te'o) said earlier, that guys that play here and win championships here are legends no matter what. If you're a star or not, people remember you. Just to be remembered: That's going to be really special.
And to have something to remember, that's special, too. It goes hand-in-glove with the aforementioned, given that, after two decades in the shade, the sun is falling on the place again. When the Irish run out of that tunnel Saturday afternoon, they'll do it as a 10-0 football team, and that hasn't happened since 1993. They'll be a national player for the first time since at least that long. And how cool is that?
I enjoy this place, Eifert says. Being undefeated has made it that much better.
And, of course, it's different for him than it is for Goodman. If Eifert leaves with another year of eligibility after this season – and good luck getting a definitive answer from him on that – he'll leave to play football on Sundays. Goodman, on the other hand, leaves having never been the player he wanted to be in South Bend, even if he grew to be a greater teammate than anyone could have imagined.
He's a good teammate, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said of Goodman this week. The relationships that he has on this team strengthen that group. You know, I think he'll look back and say, Yeah, I would liked to have caught more and made more touchdowns and done all those things,' but he's going to look back on the relationships and the strength that he's provided as a senior in this football program.
Fine with him.
I came in and thought there was high expectations, says Goodman, who missed three games with back problems this season but caught his third career touchdown pass against Boston College last week and, ironically, will likely see more playing time this week with DaVaris Daniels out. I felt like that every year, but things didn't work out.
When things don't work out, you can't get down on yourself. And so I just led the younger guys and helped out the team as much as I could.
And now, too quickly, twilight is coming down. Goodman looks back, and he remembers the touchdown pass he threw to Michael Floyd, and the touchdown pass to his old Dwenger teammate, Eifert, that didn't quite happen. And Eifert looks back and can't believe the wings four years have sprouted.
