The Fragrance is top notch. The ladies definitely love it. Think cucumber/melon with a twist of aquatic further enhanced by a slightly spicy woody note. My problem is: This is the second Creed Fragrance I have purchased from FragranceX and both times the bottle pictured is not the bottle I receive. Furthermore, as with this recent purchase, the bottle being clear with gold lettering, the gold is flaking off and the spray part is leaking, which indicates to me that the product may not be authentic or is in some other way inferior to what I might buy elsewhere. Why the different bottle? Why the bottle defects? Certainly not what I expected, but I'm stuck with it. I will use another retailer to purchase next time--one that focuses on the quality of the product and not the price. I'm paying [$]0 for a bottle of cologne, I expect perfection.The image attached shows the defects, the bottle variation and the evaporation from the leaking spray cap. I've only had this bottle 3-weeks and already this much of the product has evaporated into thin air!The 5-stars is for the fragrance itself.

I read lots of good reviews about this so I blindly bought it, I read it smelled of fresh water melon and other fruits and it was generally a nice cologne but I completely disagree with that, to me it smells like varnish or hair spray, it's awful and it doesn't last either, you'll be lucky to get 2 hours out of it, it's so bad I can't wear it, I'm going to throw it out or I may give it to someone I don't like.
This is in no way a reflection on Fragrancex they're great, it's just this particular cologne.

I have never purchased an expensive cologne like this before so I wasn't sure of what to expect. I am a 60 y.o. business owner with 5, 20 year old female employees. The females really liked the cologne. When I wear it I feel it stays with me almost all day. Unusual compared to the $40 - $50 a bottle stuff I usually get.

Great scent, amazing opening and drydown. The only drawback of this product is longevity, it lasts only 2-3 hours on me. (30 Deg Celsius weather).

Beyond New York: The Train to Montréal (Part One)
If you're planning a trip to New York, remember that your travels don't have to end at the city limits. One of the best things about NYC - other than the thrills of the city itself - is that the whole of the northeastern corner of North America is within easy reach, and arranging a two-centre city break couldn't be simpler.
In the first of our explorations beyond New York we took a historic journey along the Long Island Gold Coast, but today we're venturing even further afield by catching the scenic train to Montréal. Here's our guide to arranging your own adventure on the rails and beyond...
Experiencing the scenery of upstate New York
Amtrak has a more extensive network in the northeast than almost anywhere else in the country, and some of the train company's most fabled routes depart NYC's Penn Station for points north, south, east and west. The train to Montréal, which has been running as a daily service since 1974, is known as the Adirondack - named after the upstate New York mountain range which forms part of the Appalachian chain - and has been voted one of the ten most scenic train journeys in the world by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. The journey has something to offer in every season but is unsurprisingly at its best in autumn, when the fall colours so worshipped in this part of the USA explode into life.
After leaving Penn Station, the railroad follows the path of the Hudson River Valley for some 150 miles, gently meandering northwards to the New York state capital of Albany. The valley itself is a revelation. As the train rolls out of Midtown alongside the Hudson River Greenway and through Inwood Park at the tip of Manhattan, a twenty-mile line of dramatic sheer cliffs rises up on the opposite shore, forming a canyon just north of the George Washington Bridge. These cliffs are known as the Palisades, and at their highest point around Fort Lee have been designated a National Natural Landmark.
The best views are from the stretch of track just north of the Harlem River (which separates Manhattan from the mainland), and up through Yonkers to Croton-on-Hudson. North of here, the cliffs reshape themselves into thickly forested hills, where dense clusters of trees are interrupted every so often by old ruins, abandoned castles, remote holiday cabins and stand-alone clapboard houses, many with their own moorings or rickety wooden jetties. Being able to sit back and watch life on the river unfold - early morning rowers, puttering pleasure boats, fishermen throwing out lines, people lazing on the decks of small anchored sailboats - is one of the chief pleasures of taking the train.
The appearance of long, thin Lake Champlain marks the beginning of the final third of the journey. The train clings to its western shore for almost the entire 125 mile length, passing by yachting clubs and boathouses, rocky coves and beach campers. It even has its very own Nessie, according to local legend. The lake monster "Champ" is supposedly around 8 - 10 ft long with dark silvery scales and has been spotted more than 300 times.
Into CanadaThe Adirondack crosses over the border into Canada after Rouses Point, the last station in the USA. From here onwards, the scenery becomes flatter and more agricultural; fields of tall corn sway in the breeze and glow in the early evening sun, and farms, grain elevators and barns dot the landscape. Before too long the train starts to head west towards the city of Montréal, and the farms slowly start to be replaced by newly-built outer suburbs, industrial buildings and more established residential neighbourhoods, before crossing the St. Lawrence River onto the Island of Montréal and into the Gare Centrale.
Don't miss Part Two of this post where we explore the cultural bounty and unique atmosphere of the city of Montréal.
Need to knowThe Adirondack from New York to Montréal takes eleven meandering hours. This is a train ride for fans of 'slow travel' in the genuine sense of the phrase; for those who wish to get a feel for the landscape beyond the city, experience the rural scenery of upstate New York and make the journey itself an integral part of their holiday plans.
The train leaves NYC's Penn Station at 8.15am daily and arrives in Montréal at 7pm. You will need proper documentation (valid passport) to enter Canada. The train stops at the USA/Canada border where customs officials come on board and do their checks. Remember to bring a good book, as this process can take up to an hour.
There are some really good fares available if you book online in advance. One-way tickets are currently available for just $63 (about £40) and for that you'll get a wide, comfortable seat with footrest, power point, free wifi and access to the cafe car with wider panoramic windows. On certain days, you'll also be able to take advantage of the National Park Service's Trails & Rails programme, where volunteers board the train at specific points along the route to provide contextual history and commentary about the area you're passing through.
For the best views of the Hudson River Valley, sit on the left hand side of the train. Those on the right will be in prime position further up route, when the train snakes round the shore of Lake Champlain.
If time allows, you may wish to purchase a multi-city ticket and break up the journey overnight or longer. The best options for a longer stay along this route are probably Saratoga Springs, a popular spa town with a long tradition of horseracing and polo, and Westport - the jumping-off point for the short bus ride to Lake Placid, a year-round resort in the Adirondacks, most famous for twice hosting the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980.
Remember - check out Part Two for our guide to Montréal.

OpenDesktop Community Choose Winners of Desktop Contest
About-information from developer profiles, desktop searches in online forums, an interface library and update notification of web page content bring the concept of a social desktop a step closer to reality.
First prize went to the About-Window for any KDE based applications: ''ExtendedAboutDialog for KDE apps'' that collects information about developers involved in the program from openDesktop.org. The information includes nationality and favorite music, but also contact details and web addresses. The description of the mini-app from competition winner, Amarok developer Teo Mrnjavic, claims, '' This helps in presenting Free Software apps as more "human", because it shows (through their profiles) that there's real people working on the program.'' His prize is a Inspiron 10v notebook from Dell with Ubuntu. The extended AboutDialog is already included in Amarok 2.2.
Another Italian, Marco Martin, received a 1 Tbyte hard drive for second place. His Knowledge Base widget provides KDE users with access to the openDesktop Knowledge Base from their own desktop, is set to become part of KDE 4.4 and uses the data engine premiered in KDE 4.3.
A third Italian, Guido Roberto, won a $50 Amazon token for his library ''libopendesktop'' for Social Desktop on Gnome and Xfce. The consolation prize of $20 went to a Russian for writing the update widget for the content of various websites, ''PyContent''. Winners of the competition that began back in June were selected by community vote.

Every Sunday, they come from across central Indiana to worship in Greenwood.
Mizo refugees, chased from their homes in Myanmar and relocated in the U.S., sing traditional hymns in their own language.
The children go to Sunday school in the basement of Greenwood United Methodist Church, while Pastor Lal Ralte helps his congregation apply Gospel lessons in their new and changing lives.
After years of relocating and being expelled from their country due to their faith, the Mizo people have found a permanent home. The congregation has integrated into Greenwood United Methodist Church seamlessly.
Though they have their own service, they also worship with the larger church community. They take part in weekly fellowship meals, and the Mizo children have started attending the church preschool.
What started as about 20 people gathering in an apartment has become a burgeoning faith community of nearly 100.
"It's been a fascinating journey," said In Suk Peebles, head pastor at the church. "This has become the cultural center for the Mizo here in Indiana. It's a place of worship, a community meeting place and where they can celebrate their heritage."
The Mizo people are a nationality centered in Southeast Asia, living primarily in Bangladesh, northern India and Myanmar. Unlike other ethnic groups of the area, the Mizo are Christians, with most being Methodist, Presbyterian and other Protestant faiths.
Because of their faith, the Mizo have suffered persecution, discrimination and oppression. Since 2000, Burma's military regime in particular has forced the group to leave the country. Thousands fled to the U.S., Australia and Europe.
Faith becomes anchor
Ralte has seen his people dispersed from their homeland for his entire life. Born in 1967 into a Methodist Mizo family, he was called as an adult to be an evangelist throughout northern Myanmar, what used to be called Burma.
He would host revival camps and youth groups to help spread Christianity to the Mizo. After completing his ministerial training, he was ordained and worked in an ever-expanding group of Methodists in Myanmar.
In 2007, as hostilities toward the Mizo became more intense, Ralte and his family fled to Malaysia. He was pastor for a large group of refugees in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
In 2011, as the United Nations Refugee Agency started moving the Mizo people to safe locations in the U.S., Ralte and his family moved to Indianapolis.
Torn from the lives that they've known and the new world they'd been thrust into, their faith became the anchor that kept them grounded.
Ralte led a weekly service in his three-bedroom apartment for about a year. People came from as far away as Logansport to sit on chairs, couches and the floor in order to worship.
But as the congregation grew to include almost 40 members, there wasn't any room for new members.
When Ralte approached Peebles about possibly moving their worship to Greenwood United Methodist Church, they spoke about the congregation.
"I met with Pastor In Suk, and she helped us a lot," he said. "We are very happy."
Peebles wanted to meet the Mizo people in person, so she attended one of the Sunday services in Ralte's apartment. She found a deeply faithful people who so valued their time to worship that they'd travel for hours just to be there.
"I told them to come on over, and that was the beginning of our relationship here," Peebles said. "Being an ethnic group, it's important that they have whatever space they need and time for fellowship that might be different from us Americans. So we give them whatever they need."
Attendance grows
In mid-December 2012, the Mizo started conducting a special service in the church sanctuary on Sunday afternoons.
"We made it very clear we didn't want to put them in a fellowship hall or somewhere away from the main sanctuary. I wanted to make sure they had a prominent space, the same space where our entire congregation worships," Peebles said.
That initial service brought 37 people to the church. Now, more than 80 worship weekly.
Almost from the start, the congregation endeared themselves to the larger Greenwood United Methodist Church community. A Mizo tradition is to have a service at midnight on New Year's Eve. They rang in the start of the new year together as a congregation.
"New Year's Eve watch is similar to what Christians here do on Christmas Eve, with a midnight service," Peebles said. "At first, our congregation was not used to it. But it's been an eye-opening experience for us."
And the Mizo have tried to give back to the church when they can.
Starting this year, they'll provide $200 each month to the church offering. For people who are struggling just to buy food and clothing, that's significant, Ralte said.
They have volunteered to wash dishes at the church's weekly fellowship lunch. Members pitched in during the annual cleanup day, raking leaves and washing windows at the church.
Helping new immigrants
The Mizo continue to immigrate to central Indiana, with more trickling in every few months. As a minister and refugee himself, Ralte has become the point person for each new Mizo who arrives in the area.
Often they step from the airplane at Indianapolis International Airport with nothing except their refugee papers and a single change of clothes. Ralte picks them up, takes them to their pre-arranged apartment to stay and starts the search for a job.
As part of the condition of living in the U.S., each refugee has to get a checkup with a local doctor. So Ralte ferries them to the appointment.
When pregnant members of the congregation needed to see a obstetrician, Ralte made sure they made it to their appointment on time.
He has arranged with employers throughout central Indiana to hire the Mizo into entry-level jobs. Members of the congregation work for companies such as Fed Ex and Ingram Micro. If they need proper clothes for a job interview or a ride to work, Ralte is the one to make arrangements.
"Every day I am helping them," he said. "Yesterday, I drove more than 100 miles to drive people around."
Peebles was able to meet many of the Mizo gathered in central Indiana. One was a group of four men and their children who were living together.
When one got a job, they made sure the others were supported with food and clothing until the others could find work at a meatpacking plant in Logansport.
"They were wearing the same clothes all the time; they didn't have very much. But they made sure their clothes were cleaned all the time," Peebles said.
Because the men didn't have cars, Ralte would drive up to Logansport every Friday to pick them up. The group would live with Ralte over the weekend, go to church services on Sunday, and then he'd drive them back north on Sunday evening.
Greenwood a focal point
The Mizo will remain refugees for up to five years. After a year, they can apply for permanent residence in the country. By five years, they have the opportunity to apply for full citizenship.
But Ralte's unification of the Mizo has not stopped just in Greenwood. Working with the church, he hosted a meeting for all of the Mizo in the U.S. to gather and discuss their situations.
They also wanted to celebrate their new homes and new freedoms. More than 300 Mizo came from Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Texas and Iowa.
"There are pockets of 10, 20, 30 people living in those areas. But the Greenwood one has become the largest one," Ralte said.
Ralte also opened up to Mizo of all faiths. Congregations from the Presbyterian, Seventh-day Adventist and United Pentecostal churches attended to share in their common culture.
"He has shown an amazing leadership. He's a leader to a lot of folks; it doesn't matter what church they go to. He looks over them," Peebles said.
With the growing Mizo congregation now established, church leaders are working to ensure they are better prepared for day-to-day life in Greenwood.
English a big hurdle
Few Mizo speak English. Often, Ralte serves as translator for simple conversations.
But through a grant from Metro Ministries, the outreach arm of the United Methodist Church Central District, the Mizo are being enrolled in English classes. In addition, more children are being sent to preschool.
"We felt if we were able to give funds for about 10 persons to learn English, they could share that with others in the congregation," said Lisa Morris, executive director for Metro Ministries. "The impact we were expecting was they'd share what they'd learned, and learning the language is important for the children to go to school."
Two weeks before Christmas, Greenwood United Methodist Church had a one-year anniversary celebration for the Mizo. Congregation members gathered for singing, dinner and presentations by the Mizo.
Both Ralte and Peebles are proud of the growth of the new Mizo parishioners, as well as the enhancement to the greater Greenwood United Methodist Church community.
They are anticipating increased growth and look forward to seeing the relationship between the groups grow stronger.
"It's been quite exciting. We share the baptisms together, the holy rituals of our faith. It's been wonderful," Peebles said.

The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International has announced the release of Where America Goes to Work: The Contribution of Office Building Operations to the Economy, 2012, which details the impact of commercial office space on the national and local economies. The report shows that the short- and long-term expenditures that sustain office building operations—management, maintenance, repairs, building services and utilities—generate significant, continuous and growing expenditures that support local businesses, create job demand and contribute significantly to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
The 2012 Study finds that the 9.9 billion square feet of commercial office space located within the 94 markets served by BOMA International's 93 local associations generated $79.7 billion in direct operating expenditures in 2011 to the benefit of workers and businesses within their host jurisdictions— enough to build One World Trade Center 20 times over.
Key highlights of the study:
For each dollar spent on office building operations, the national economy gained $2.57, with the result that $79.7 billion in annual operating expenditures contributed a total of $205.1 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011—equivalent to the state of California's annual budget;
For each dollar spent on office building operations, workers in the United States realized an increase of $0.76 in personal earnings, generating a total of $61.0 billion in new earnings for workers residing within these 94 office market areas and respective state economies in 2011;
For each $1 million in expenditures for office building operations, 19.6 jobs were supported nationwide. As a result, $79.7 billion in annual operating expenditures supported a total of 1.6 million indirect jobs across all sectors of the national economy in 2011—about the same number employed by McDonald's worldwide—in addition to an estimated 2.2 million more jobs directly related to the on-site management and operations of the buildings; and,
The 9.9 billion square feet of commercial and government-owned office space located in the 94 markets served by BOMA's 93 local associations provided workspace for an estimated 44.3 million office jobs.

So you'd like to become a Magic Judge…
What is a Magic Judge?
Judges are neutral arbiters of the game. We ensure that the game is fair, friendly and fun for all of the players involved in an event. We are there to run consistent and fair tournaments.
Judges help players learning the rules, give advice and build communities.
Judges also provide a myriad of benefits to tournament organizers and customer service to players. Judges ensure the tournament is running smoothly, efficiently and fairly. Judges are there to answer calls, help fix mistakes and ensure integrity of the event.
Outside of events, judges are ambassadors of the community. We help players, store owners, and judge candidates. Judges help make Magic: The Gathering™ a great experience for players!
Getting ready to test
Getting the first judge level might look an overwhelming task and takes some time – the test is only the final step on the road. The following provides some guidelines on how to become a judge.
Work at tournaments
Start working as a judge! You don't need to have a level to judge at your local tournaments – just ask some organizers in your area if you can help at their tournaments. With this you gain hands on experience in judging and you learn how tournaments are run. Focus on learning about the basic functions of the Wizards Event Reporter software and become as comfortable as possible in running smaller events first (8-16 players).
Contact other judges
Get in contact with other judges or candidates – be it in "real life" or online. You should try to know several judges (or candidates) and be in closer contact with one of them, preferably a Level 2 or higher judge to help guide your preparation. If you don't know any other persons ask your tournament organizer, find judges in your region in the Judge Center, or contact your Regional Coordinator. With them you can discuss rulings, situations, procedures, judging life in general and likely make some friends.
Learn the rules
Learn the rules. Start with the Basic Rulebook and after this the most important documents are the Comprehensive Rules, the Judging at Regular REL and the Magic Tournament Rules. Learning the game rules is harder than it looks, as you have to transform your knowledge from knowing how the cards work to knowing how the underlying rules work so that you can apply this knowledge to any game situation, not just with the cards and experiences you are most used to.
Work with a mentor
Work some tournaments with a more experienced judge, preferably a Level 2 or higher judge. Ask questions and ask to be challenged with rules and policy questions – these judges will be able to give you the preparation you need to grow into what we hope is your new roles as a Level 1 judge. Try to understand what infraction happened in a given situation – applying the appropriate penalty comes automatically once you have delineated the infraction that took place. Again, ask many questions and listen to what these judges have to tell you – they want to see you succeed!
Find a test administrator & take the test
Find someone who will test you for Level 1 (any Level 2 or higher) – the test normally includes working with the tester at two events, a preliminary interview, a written test and another interview after the written test.
Enjoy your new status as a judge and judge as many tournaments as possible. You should create an account on JudgeApps and check out the forums. Help your local scene grow as a Magic: The Gathering™ community and if possible, come join a staff at a local Grand Prix Trial or Pro Tour Qualifier event in your area. Congratulations on your accomplishment, and welcome to the Magic Judge community!
Online resources
There exist lots of online resources for future judges. A good starting point is this website you're reading!
On this site you'll find general information about the judge program, how to become a judge, the roles and responsibilities of the different levels and a huge archive of judging related articles.
The next stopping point should be the Judge Center (DCIX). Login with your DCI number and your DCI password – you don't have to be a judge to access this webpage. There you can take tests and search for other judges, among other things.
There are tons of other web pages, local forums and mailing lists. You can join the #mtgjudge IRC channel on EFNET, there are judges online 24/7 available for chats and discussions.

A world premiere about friends on the Appalachian Trail and an Agatha Christie thriller are on Issaquah-based Village Theatre's 2012-13 season list.
For its 2012-13 season Issaquah's Village Theatre will revisit several classic Broadway musicals, present an Agatha Christie thriller, and offer the world premiere of the new musical "Trails," about a pair of friends on the Appalachian Trail.
"Trails" is the latest show Village has workshopped in its Village Originals Annual New Musicals Festival, and later mounted in a full production. The success of previous Village Original works, notably the Tony Award-honored Broadway hits "Next to Normal" and "Million Dollar Quartet," has made the Issaquah company a national showcase for new shows.
Describing "Trails" as "timely and relevant," Village executive producer Robb Hunt commented, "(Here) in the Northwest, walking the Pacific Crest trail has become a new rite of passage for many local young adults. (The) quest for discovery of who we are and rediscovery of whom we wanted to be is extremely compelling."
The season calendar:
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport

Web of Confusion
Kirsner, Scott, American Journalism Review
Doesn't anyone on the Internet know how to count?
Given the reputation for number-crunching that has surrounded computers since they came on the scene, you might expect that tallying the number of users who visit a given site on the World Wide Web would be a simple task. It's not.
With more than 500 daily newspapers in this country operating Web sites, according to the Newspaper Association of America, and with 400 more expected to launch by the end of the year, tracking online readership has emerged as a critical issue. Without solid information about how many readers visit the site and who those readers are, it's tough to effectively allocate resources to an online effort and even tougher to attract advertisers.
Yet a number of barriers, stemming from semantic nebulousness and technological limitations, prevent newspapers from accurately answering some key questions about their online readerships: Exactly how many readers are out there? How often do they visit my site? How long do they stay during a typical visit? And who are those readers?
To add to the confusion of dealing with an evolving technology and vague definitions of terms like "page requests" and "visits," newspapers also are being forced to decide which approach they will take to measuring online readership. They may opt to use internal software tools, like Interse's Market Focus or net.Genesis' net.Analysis, which attempt to analyze a site's,server log. They may elect to be audited by organizations like MRO or Audit Bureau Verification Services (part of the Audit Bureau of Circulations), which try to validate the statistics recorded on the server log. They may choose to implement software that monitors traffic as it happens at the network level, like Accrue Insight. Or they may decide to subscribe to research from PC Meter, which follows users' clicks around the Web with software installed on their home PCs. Typically newspapers are being forced to figure out which combination of these various measurement approaches they want to adopt.
"We need strong and precise measurement so we know how to reach people with this new medium," says Jack Fuller, president of the Tribune Co. and a 1986 Pulitzer Prize winner. "The most perfect piece of journalism which fails to reach people is a failure--it's not good journalism."
It's almost as if the county fair opened without first setting up the turnstiles. Most newspapers gave little thought to measurement issues before launching their Web sites. "Stats were really an afterthought," says Dan Peak, Webmaster at the Kansas City Star. "We knew we were going to have to track users, somehow sort of. But it wasn't a priority at the beginning."
Even sites that did plan to track usage from the start, like the New York Times, ran into problems. Since every visitor entering the Times site is required to register by getting a password and providing demographic information, the site must create a new database record for each new user. On opening day, the computer managing the database crashed due to the huge number of visitors. The paper was forced to temporarily disable its sophisticated registration system.
"You don't necessarily think about measurement as the first thing you want to do," says James Conaghan of the Newspaper Association of America. "You want to go on a shakedown cruise first, and then deal with measurement issues as they come up, or as advertisers demand certain numbers."
After the shakedown cruise, most newspapers and magazines face the challenge of dealing with the huge quantity of data generated by thousands of users visiting their site. "You quickly realize you're dealing with tons of data that are very hard to analyze," says Grady Seale, who helped the Boston Globe launch its site in 1995.
Where do all these data come from? Every single request that a user makes of a Web site generates an entry line in the server's log file. …

I've learned over the years to expect the unexpected when fishing with childhood friends. Several weeks ago I was contacted by a longtime friend who ensured me that the sturgeon bite was wide open where he lived. Excited, we both agreed on a date and began preparing for the trip. Being that I was unfamiliar with the place that we were going to be fishing, I agreed ahead of time to have him navigate the boat instead of me. The place that we were fishing was a mud flat that had a very narrow deep water channel. To add ...

This application is a continuation-in-part of an application filed by me in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Apr. 20, 1992 under Ser. No. 07/870,861 for High Torque and Speed Motors, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,212,418, issued May 5, 1993.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to direct current motors and more particularly to multi-armature motors having permanent magnets between parallel pole pieces establishing magnetic circuits for exciting an armature.
Conventional direct current motors usually comprise a housing journalling an armature with sectional field coils o stator windings contained by the housing which substantially surround the armature to provide a magnetic circuit for exciting the armature.
In this type of design only one armature is operated by each group of stators or field windings resulting in inefficient utilization of the various circuits established and thus limiting the potential of the magnetic circuit established by direct current through commutators of armatures interposed between magnetizable pole pieces.
The number of rotors which ma be interposed between and operated by the magnetic flux of two pole pieces established by one or more permanent magnets is almost unlimited as disclosed by this invention.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The most pertinent patents are believed to be my U.S. Pat. No. 3,651,355 issued to me on Mar. 21, 1972 for Multi-armature Motors and U.S. Pat. No. 4,316,099 issued to me on Feb. 16, 1982 for Permanent Magnet Stator For D.C. Motors.
My U.S. Pat. No. 3,651,355 discloses the basic features of the motors of this invention, but fails to discloses all the advantages of magnetic flux established by permanent magnets in selectively obtaining desired torque and speed of the respective armature with relation to efficient use of amperage as disclosed by this invention.
The other of my above named patents (#4,316,099) discloses one of the essential features of this invention, namely, the dimension of the respective pole piece arc in relation to the winding span of the armature and discloses a concentric armature rotating motor.
Direct current motors are formed by armatures interposed between parallel opposite polarity pole pieces magnetized by permanent magnets extending between the pole pieces.
Wiring and substantially conventional electrical controls connecting a direct current source with the armature commutators are selectively operated resulting in motors formed by respective armatures having high speed, high torque, low amperage input or low speed, low torque motors in which the direction of rotation is easily reversed by changing the direction of current through the brushes on the commutators or changing the position of the brushes on the commutator of the respective armature.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a series of direct current motors and/or generators which find high utilization in industry and for tools and appliance operation for nonindustrial users.

Like characters of reference designate like parts in those figures of the drawings in which they occur.
In the drawings:
Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference numeral 10 indicates a dual armature direct current electric motor formed in accordance with this invention.
The motor 10 includes a pair of strap-like elongated spaced-apart magnetizable pole pieces 12 and 14 preferably formed from malleable iron and interconnected at their respective end portions by permanent magnets 16 and 18 having their respective like magnetic poles respectively bonded to the pole pieces 12 and 14 in magnetic flux conducting relation.
The magnets 16 and 18 are preferably industrial magnets manufactured from a selected magnetic material and presently available under the Trademarks or Tradename ALINCO #3, 4 or 5. The respective exposed side surface, or end surface not covered by one of the pole pieces, is surrounded by a protective layer or coat of nonmagnetic material to prevent disintegrating particles of the magnets falling into or being magnetically attracted to bearings, gears or into spaces between motor armatures and magnetic poles as presently described.
Each magnet 16 and 18 is substantially rectangular when viewed from either end (FIG. 2) for the reasons more fully explained hereinbelow.
Like poles of the magnets 16 and 18 are connected with the respective poles piece 12 and 14. The magnets 16 and 18 form north N and south S magnetic pole pieces of the respective members 12 and 14. Thus, pairs of like magnetic poles, for example two north poles, connected with the pole piece 12 end portions doubles the magnetic flux density medially the length of the pole piece 12.
Two pairs of rectangular nonmagnetic material motor housing plates 22-24 and 26-18 are transversely secured in cooperating parallel opposition to the outer surfaces of the magnetic pole pieces 12 and 14 adjacent the respective magnet 16 and 18.
Bearing equipped pairs of motor circular housing end plates 30-32 and 34-36 are respectively secured to the respective end portions of the pairs of plates 22-24 and 26-28 by bolts 25 and journal the respective armature shaft 38 and 40 of the pair of armatures 42 and 44 (illustrated fragmentarily by FIG. 4) and define motor assemblies 43 and 45, respectively. Other bolts 27 mount the commutator brushes and brackets, neither being shown, on the respective end plate 30-32 and 34-36 in a conventional manner.
Referring also to FIGS. 7 and 8, the armatures 42 and 44 are of the conventional slotted type, each having a commutator 46 and 48, respectively, diagrammatically illustrated by FIG. 11. The diameter of the respective armature 42 and 44 is slightly greater than the spacing between the magnetic pole pieces 12 and 14 for the reasons which will now be explained.
The magnetic pole pieces 12 and 14 are provided with transverse confronting concave recesses 12' and 14' (FIG. 1) which are cooperatively positioned in axial alignment with the respective armature 42 and 44, as illustrated by FIG. 7.
The preferred spacing between the periphery of the armature and the surface of the respective concave recess 12' and 14' is 0.020"+ 0.005" (0.051 cm + 0.013 cm). The width (W) (FIG. 8) of the magnetic pole recesses 12' and 14' longitudinally of the pole pieces is preferably one-half the winding span of the respective armature. Stated another way, the recess width (W) is equal to the circumferential arc spanning three and one-half segments 20 of a span seven armature.
The width W of the recess 12' relative to the span of the armature is critical for the reason this width relation results in utilizing the favorable armature driving magnetic flux of the respective polarity which is concentrated in the respective recess from opposing directions in the respective pole piece without magnetic flux in the respective pole piece adjacent the recess 12' acting as a counterforce on the segments of the armature in opposition to its direction of rotation. This greatly improves the torque and speed of a direct current motor by eliminating magnetic counterforce acting on the armature.
The ease with which the operating characteristics of these motors may be changed, such as torque, speed or reversing as well as low amperage drag, through electrical controls, render these motors particularly useful in industry.
By way of example, FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the motor 10 mounted on and operating a residential-type lawn mower 50.
The lawn mower 50 comprises a housing, preferably formed from nonmagnetic material such as fiber glass, having a generally horizontal platform top surface 52 and downwardly depending side walls 53 and 54.
The side wall 54 is provided with a cut-grass exhaust opening 55 and the side walls 53 and 54 respectively support forward and rearward pairs of outboard wheels 56 and 58 on axles 60 and 61, respectively. A handle, shown fragmentarily at 62, connected with the rearward portion of the platform 52 permits the operator to manually push and guide the lawn mower 50.
The motor 10 is mounted on the mower platform 52 by extending the armature shafts 38 and 40 downwardly through suitable apertures formed in the mower platform 52 and connecting the respective armature shaft with conventional mower blades 64 and 66. A battery B, such as a DC lead acid battery, (FIG. 3) is conveniently mounted on the mower platform 52 and wires 68 and 69 connect the potential of the battery in parallel to one brush of a pair of brushes, neither being shown, on the respective armature commutator 46 and 48 of the motor 10 through conventional electric controls, not shown, mounted on the handle 62 including an off-on switch 70 (FIG. 11).
Referring also to FIG. 11, for mowing most vegetation with a residential-type lawn mower, the other brush of the pair of brushes on the respective commutator 46 and 48 is connected to ground by wires 68' and 69'.
FIG. 12 illustrates the potential of the battery B connected to ground in series through the commutators 46 and 48 of the armatures 42 and 44, respectively. This wiring reduces the speed of both armatures 42 and 44.
Referring also to FIGS. 5 and 6, in order to add a self-propelled feature to the lawn mower 50, a third motor assembly indicated at 43' similar to the motor assemblies 43 and 45 is centrally interposed between the magnetic pole pieces 12 and 14. The drive shaft of the motor assembly 43' is similarly extended downwardly through the motor platform 52 and connected with a selected drive train, such as belts and pulleys or gears, not shown, for angularly rotating the forward or rearward wheels of the lawn mower 50.
Magnetic flux from the permanent magnets 16 and 18 centrally concentrating in opposition between the respective pole pieces 12 and 14 and motor assemblies 43 and 45 provides ample magnetic flux for driving the armature of the motor assembly 43'.
The wiring diagrams for the self-propelled mower motor 10' is illustrated by FIGS. 14 and 15 for the respective parallel and series connections of the commutators of the motor assemblies 43, 43', and 45.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 9 and 10, a third embodiment of the motor is indicated at 10" and features a third permanent magnet 18', identical with either of the magnets 16 or 18, centrally interposed between the magnetic pole pieces 12 and 14. The added third magnet 18' further increases the magnetic flux in the pole pieces 12 and 14 and connecting the battery potential to ground in series through the respective commutator 46 and 48, as in FIG. 12, results in a free-running low amperage drag motor in which the amperage drag increases with load.
Referring also to FIGS. 9A and 10A, a further embodiment of the motor 10" is indicated at 110' in which the centrally disposed permanent magnet 18' is replaced by a coil 118'. The coil 118' comprises a metallic coil core 120' extending between the pole pieces 12 and 14 and secured thereto by bolts or screws 122'.
A wire or wires 124' are wrapped around the rectangular coil core 120'. The purpose of the coil 118' is to further increase the magnetic flux in the pole pieces 12 and 14 and on the armatures for increasing the torque of these motor assemblies 43 and 45.
FIG. 13 illustrates the wiring for the motors of FIGS. 9A and 10A in which connecting the battery potential to ground in parallel with the respective armature 46 and 48 and coil 118' through a coil switch 126', in addition to the on-off starting switch 70, adds the battery powered flux of the coil 118' to the permanent magnet flux in the pole pieces 12 and 14. The north and south poles generated by battery potential through the coil wires must be cooperative with the polarity of the permanent magnets 16 and 18, to avoid reversing the polarity of the latter.
As an example of the useful feature of the coil 118', when the motor 110' is mounted on the lawn mower 50 the coil switch 126' may be left open until such time as heavy vegetation is encountered which requires additional torque from the motor assemblies 43 and 45. The switch 126' may then be manually closed to obtain increased power.
Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 16 and 17, a circular array of the motor assembly is illustrated at 80 which is formed by two pairs of endless inner and outer concentric pole pieces, respectively integrally connected in crossed relation. Transversely each endless pole piece is substantially equal to the transverse width of the pole pieces 12 and 14 and the spacing therebetween is substantially equal to the spacing between the pole pieces 12 and 14. The respective inner pole piece 82 and 82' is provided with additional thickness so that the mass of the inner and outer pole pieces 82, 82' and 84-84' are, respectively, substantially equal for reasons well understood by those familiar with direct current magnetic motors.
A pair of permanent magnets, indicated at 16' and 18", extend between the inner and outer pole pieces at their respective intersections, substantially identical with respect to the permanent magnets 16 and 18, and in diametric opposition between the respective pairs of pole pieces. The central area within the innermost pole pieces is referred to as a "calm area" or "eye" of the motor assembly 80 when not more than two magnets are disposed between the pairs of pole pieces 82-82', and 84-84'.
Similarly, a pair of motor assemblies 45' substantially identical with respect to the motor assembly 45 with the exception of its housing plates 26' and 28', which are arcuately curved transversely to cooperate with the circular arc of the respective pole piece, support the respective armature shaft of the respective motor assembly 45' in diametric opposition and spaced 90� from the respective magnet.
Obviously either pair of the crossed pairs of endless concentric pole pieces of FIG. 16 may be expanded as a multi-motor assembly.
FIG. 18 illustrates an example of such a motor in which the inner and outer concentric pole pieces 82" and 84" are connected in similar spaced-apart relation by the magnets 18" and 19' and a pair of the motor assemblies 45' are disposed in diametric opposition spaced 90� from the respective magnets 16' and 18". This motor assembly comprising the inner and outer concentric rings 82" and 84", magnets 16' and 18" and a pair of motor assemblies 45' can be further expanded outwardly by adding a third endless pole piece 120 concentric with the pole pieces 82" and 84" and radially spaced from the outer pole piece 84" a distance substantially equal to the spacing between the pole pieces 82" and 84".
The outer pole piece 120 is rigidly connected with the pole piece 84" by additional permanent magnets 122 and 123 identical with the magnets 16' and 18" and respectively positioned in diametric alignment therewith.
A plurality of pairs of motor assemblies 124, 126, 128 and 130 are interposed between the pole piece 84" and outer pole piece 120 in a manner similar to that described hereinabove for the motors 45'.
Referring now more particularly to FIG. 19, a circular array of the motor assembly is illustrated at 81 which is formed by a pair of endless pole pieces 83, only one being shown. Transversely each pole piece 8 is substantially equal to the transverse width of the pole pieces 12 and 14 and the spacing therebetween is substantially equal to the spacing between the pole pieces 12 and 14.
A pair of permanent magnets, indicated at 16", substantially identical with respect to the magnet 16, extend between the respective inner and outer pole pieces in diametric opposition between the pole pieces 83.
Similarly, a pair of motor assemblies 45" substantially identical with respect to the motor assembly 45 support the respective armature shaft of the respective motor 45".
Obviously additional magnets and/or motor assemblies may be interposed between the pole pieces of the motors 80 and 81 (FIGS. 16-19) for particular motor requirements. The wiring diagram of these endless pole piece motors is substantially identical with the diagrams of FIGS. 11 and 12.
Another version of the three armature motor is indicated at 86 (FIG. 20) in which the pole pieces 88 an 90 are similar to the pole pieces 12 and 14 and respectively receive between their respective end portions, a pair of motor assemblies 92, respectively identical with the motor assemblies 43 and 45.
A pair of permanent magnets 94 are interposed between the pole pieces 88 and 90 adjacent, but inwardly of the respective motor assembly 92. Between these two magnets 94, a third armature 96 is longitudinally interposed between the pole pieces 88 and 90 with its shaft in axial alignment with the longitudinal axis of the pole pieces 88 and 90. The shaft of the armature 96 is journalled at its respective end portions by suitable nonmagnetic bearing supports 98, extending between and secured to the pole pieces 88 and 90. A pulley or sprocket 99 may be connected with the drive shaft end of the armature 96.
Another motor version similar to the motor 86 is indicated at 95 (FIG. 21) in which the central armature is omitted and additional motor assemblies indicated at 92' are interposed in spaced-apart relation between permanent magnets 94'. A third permanent magnet 94" is interposed between the central pair of motor assemblies 92'.
As illustrated by FIG. 22, the battery potential is connected to ground in parallel through the commutators of the motor assemblies 92 and 92'. With the motor 95 wired in this manner the outboard motor assemblies (or all of the motor assemblies) may be utilized as generators.
All of the above motors in which a permanent magnet is interposed between elongated parallel pole pieces generate an excess of magnetic flux forming opposing polarity magnetic pole pieces in which remote ends of the magnetic pole pieces contain sufficient, normally unused, magnetic flux to drive one or more additional motor assemblies.
As briefly mentioned hereinabove, the respective square or rectangular permanent magnet forms pairs of parallel opposing surfaces or sides and the juncture of one of the sides with an adjacent side forms a "corner portion" of the magnet in which the magnetic "working" flux may drive the armature of a motor assembly.
FIG. 23 illustrates this feature in which a pair of pole pieces 100 are integrally joined in right angular crossed relation, only one being shown, are disposed in parallel superposed relation to form a multi-armature motor assembly, indicated at 102, which includes a central permanent magnet 103 and outboard permanent magnets 104, 106, and 108 at each of three of its remote pole piece end portions of the cross shape disposed outwardly of dual armature motor assemblies, similar to the motor 10.
The fourth arm of the cross shape similarly supports dual armature motor assemblies inboard of a fourth permanent magnet 110 with an additional motor assembly 112 disposed outwardly of the magnet 110.
Thus it may be seen that additional armature motor assemblies may be extended indefinitely, if space permits, from each of the arm end portions or "open ends" of the magnetic crossed pole pieces or at any "corner portion" of a permanent magnet.
Similarly additional planar pole pieces may be added in over or underlying relation to the planar pole piece motors or adding circular pole pieces to the circular motor (FIGS. 16-19) and interposing permanent magnets and motor assemblies between the added and original pole piece as needed for particular applications.
Obviously the invention is susceptible to changes or alterations without defeating its practicability. Therefore, I do not wish to be confined to the preferred embodiment shown in the drawings and described herein.
