In order to connect two shafts together, which are rotating with different speeds, and thereby make the two shafts rotate with the same speed, disc clutches of various kinds are often used. During the time, the slip-in time, which it takes from the instant the discs begin to act upon each other until the relative speed between the shafts in zero, the clutch discs slip against each other, and energy losses then arise which cause friction heat in the surfaces of the discs. This friction heat must in some way be conveyed away from the disc surfaces, and in principle, there should be time for the energy losses from one clutch engagement to be cooled off before the next engagement is to take place. This applies particularly to periodically working clutches, as the clutch discs can otherwise easily become overheated, and the friction surfaces subjected to abnormal wear.
The methods of cooling a friction clutch can be varied from only natural cooling through conduction and convection, possibly improved by allowing the clutch to work in an oil bath, to strictly forced cooling, achieved by having air or fluid pressed through channels in the discs.
The present invention relates to a new method of achieving forced cooling of liquid cooled so-called wet disc clutches with friction surfaces with a radial extent centered around the input and output shafts of the clutch. The invention also comprises a special type of groove pattern intended to be made in the friction surfaces of a disc clutch. The method characteristic for the invention of cooling the clutch is achieved by an appropriate distribution of pressure being achieved in the cooling medium circulating through the groove pattern.
Through the present invention, it has become possible, in a comparatively simple way, to obtain extremely efficient cooling of primarily flat single or mulitple disc clutches with ringformed clutch disc surfaces, but the invention can also be used for so-called cone clutches, i.e. clutches which have disc surfaces in the form of truncated cones.
With the method according to the invention, the cooling desired is achieved in that a cooling medium, which particularly consists of an appropriate fluid and which from the edge of the disc which is nearest the axis of rotation of the clutch, during at least the time when the clutch is engaged, is conducted in between the friction surfaces of the disc in the friction layer, along inner, radial distribution grooves provided in at least one of the two friction surfaces in each pair of discs that coact when the clutch is engaged, which grooves extend from said edge of the disc across part of the width of the disc but not across its entire width, after which the cooling medium from these inner distribution grooves is distributed to a number of uniformly distributed cooling grooves made over the width of the surface layer of the disc extending from the inner distribution grooves, the main direction of which is parallel to the direction of rotation of the clutch, and from which the cooling medium is conveyed off radially towards the outer edges of the disc surfaces, along radial conveying grooves formed in the surface layers of the discs, which are arranged between the distribution grooves and which extend across part of the width of the disc but not all the way to its outer edge, and which are in connection with outlet openings in the outer edges of the discs.
If no special measures are taken, however, with the disc pattern described above, the cooling medium will be unevenly distributed over the various cooling grooves, due to the difference in distance to these from the center of rotation. Upon rotation of the clutch, the cooling medium will be affected differently by the centrifugal force, depending on the distance to each particle of cooling medium from the center of rotation. This has the result that the pressure in the cooling medium increases with the distance from the center of rotation, and thus that the cooling channels at the greatest distance from the center of rotation will have the greatest quantity of cooling medium flowing through them per unit of time. Such an uneven distribution of the cooling medium naturally also results in uneven cooling of the clutch discs.
However, we have found that by making an appropriate constriction in the outlet openings of the conveying grooves, it is possible to generate a counter-pressure against the cooling medium flowing out of the cooling grooves which increases in dependence on the distance to the center of rotation. It has thereby become possible, in spite of the centrifugal force, to achieve substantially the same pressure over all cooling grooves, independent of their radial distance on the clutch disc. The pressure in the cooling grooves thus increases with the distance, but at the same time the counter-pressure out of the cooling grooves also increases. This results in a uniform cooling of the entire disc surfaces, and provides for optimizing of both the disc surfaces and the cooling medium flow, with consideration taken to the highest permissible stresses on both the cooling medium and the material in the discs. It has thereby become possible in an entirely different way than previously to produce disc packs that can be utilized optimally.
The constriction in the outlet openings of the conveying grooves can either be made strictly as a constriction of the cross-section area of the groove, or else the cooling medium from the conveying groove can be distributed to a new set of cooling grooves which run parallel to the previously mentioned cooling grooves, and which in itself gives rise to the constriction of the outlet of the conveying grooves desired, and which emerge in outer outlet grooves which, in turn, either can have a free outlet to the outer edge of the disc, or else these too can each be provided with a constricted outlet. If the constrictions are properly dimensioned with consideration to the quantity of cooling medium fed, the conveying grooves and, when applicable, also the outlet grooves, as long as the clutch is engaged and cooling medium is fed with an appropriate pressure, can be kept entirely filled with cooling medium, the internal pressure of which, through the influence of the centrifugal force, increases with the distance from the center of rotation. If the outlet grooves have a free outlet and thus there is no constriction of their outlet opening (this variant is considerably easier to manufacture) the cooling medium will flow freely out of the outlet groove and the outer half of the ring of the clutch will obtain somewhat uneven cooling, as a somewhat greater portion of the cooling medium will flow through the outer cooling grooves than through the inner cooling grooves in the same disc half. By making the disc in halves, with an inner ring which is entirely uniformly cooled, and an outer ring which is somewhat unevenly cooled, however, in most cases, there will not be greater variations in the cooling but that this can be accepted for practical use. This applies particularly to multiple disc clutches in which each disc has a rather limited radial extent.
In order to be able to drive a sufficient quantity of cooling medium per unit of time through the clutch disc grooves, it is thus necessary that the cooling medium is fed with a certain initial pressure. According to a variant of the invention, this initial pressure of the cooling medium is achieved in that a cooling medium ring of a certain depth when the clutch is engaged is permanently maintained inside the inner edge of the clutch disc. From this cooling medium ring, the cooling medium always has a free outlet to the previously mentioned distribution grooves, and through a continuous feed of additional cooling medium to the ring and possible draining via fixed or possibly adjustable overflow channels of any excess cooling medium, the depth of the ring of cooling medium can be kept at the value desired. In most cases, minor variations of a short duration of this depth must be tolerated, as it must be expected that there will be minor variations in the flow of cooling medium through the cooling grooves at different rotating speeds.
When the clutch is not engaged, and thus no cooling is required, the quantity of cooling medium per unit of time which is fed to the clutch discs can be reduced considerably, but at least for multiple disc clutches, in which the clutch discs, even when the clutch is disengaged, can have little play between the delimiting friction surfaces, a certain quantity of cooling medium should always be distributed between the friction surfaces of the discs, in order to lubricate these, even when a disengaged clutch is rotating freely. In practice, it has thus proved that if a flow of the order of 10Q 1/minute is required to cool the slipping, engaged clutch satisfactorily, approximately Q 1/minute is required in order to obtain sufficient lubrication while maintaining little power losses when the clutch is disengaged. If the clutch is to work with very varying times between the engaging and disengaging, temperature-sensing members can of course be installed, which during long engaging times limit the flow as soon as the heat developed at the latest slipping-in has been cooled off. As a rule, however, it should thus be most simple to have the flow control connected to the members for engaging and disengaging.
The invention has been defined in the accompanying claims, and will now be described in more detail with reference to a number of figures and examples of embodiments. However, these examples do not involve any limitation of the invention defined in the claims.
FIG. 1 shows a partly sectioned sketch in perspective of a single-disc clutch.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a section through a multiple-disc clutch, in disengaged and engaged positions respectively.
FIGS. 4, 6 and 8 each show a quadrant of clutch discs with different cooling patterns.
FIGS. 5, 7 and 9 show on a larger scale sections V--V, VII--VII, and VIII--VIII, respectively through the clutch discs according to FIGS. 4, 6 and 8.
The clutch shown in FIG. 1 consists of a clutch housing 1, connected with an output shaft 2, and a pressure plate 4 connected displaceably but not rotatably by means of splines with the clutch housing 1. In the clutch housing 1 there is also arranged a clutch disc plate 5, which by means of internal splines is connected with an input shaft 6. Along the outer edge of the clutch disc plate 5, the actual clutch disc 7 is arranged, This consists of a ring-formed friction lining of e.g. sintered metal. When the clutch is not engaged, the input shaft 6 rotates freely in a sleeve 8 arranged in the clutch housing. This sleeve 8, with the aid of a spring 9, also acutates a number of levers 10 arranged on surface 3 of the pressure plate 4, which press the pressure plate 4, against the clutch disc 7 at the same time as disc 7, in turn, is pressed against the inner side 11 of the clutch housing. When the sleeve 8 is pulled, the pressure plate 4 and the clutch housing are disengaged from the clutch disc 7 and the input shaft 6. The friction surface of the clutch disc is provided with the groove pattern characteristic of the invention, consisting of inner, radial distribution grooves 12, outer conveying grooves 13 and cooling grooves 14 uniformly distributed spirally over the clutch disc 7. The inner distribution grooves 12 start at the inner edge 15 of the surface of the friction disc, and end just before they reach its outer edge 16. The outer conveying grooves 13 extend from the outer edge 16 of the disc almost all the way to its inner edge 15. The conveying grooves 13 also have a small constriction 17 at the outlet through the outer edge of the disc.
Cooling medium, in this case some appropriate oil, is fed through the hollow input shaft 6, and is distributed through outlet openings 18. The centrifugal force throws the oil outwards, and when the clutch is engaged, forms an oil ring 19, delimited at the sides by the clutch plate 5 and the pressure plate 4. As shown by the figure, the latter has a considerably greater width than the actual clutch disc or the friction lining 7, the inner edge 15 of which constitutes the outer limits of the oil ring. Any oil for which there is no room behind the pressure plate runs over its edge, and is removed together with the outer cooling oil through an outlet, not shown in the figure, arranged on the rear side of the clutch housing. The depth of the oil ring 19 together with the centrifugal force gives a certain oil pressure, which forces the oil to flow in to the inner distribution grooves 12, to be distributed in both directions in the adjacent cooling grooves 14, and thereafter leave the space between the clutch disc 7 and the pressure plate 4 via the outer conveying grooves 13. As the clutch disc plate 5 is provided with friction linings on both sides, it is also provided with groove patterns on both sides. The oil feed to the rear side not shown in the figure takes place in a similar way as at the front side, and special outlets give rise to an oil ring of the depth desired on this side too. When the clutch is disengaged, the quantity of oil is reduced to approximately one tenth of the normal flow for an engaged clutch.
The constriction 17 is adapted so that at full cooling flow through the grooves in the disc surface, it ensures that the conveying grooves 13 are continuously kept filled with cooling oil. The liquid column which is thus formed in these grooves will then, through the influence of the centrifugal force, have a pressure increasing outwards, which compensates the increase in pressure for the same reason in the outer turns of the cooling grooves 14. In this way, a substantially equal drop in pressure is obtained over all cooling grooves 14, regardless of their distance from the center of rotation, which gives the same flow of cooling oil through all parts of the clutch surfaces, and thus the same cooling of these surfaces, regardless of their distance from the center of rotation.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a section through a wet multiple disc clutch, which is cooled in the way which is characteristic for the invention. FIG. 2 shows the clutch in the disengaged position, and FIG. 3 shows the clutch in the engaged position.
The clutch consists of a clutch housing 20 with a front part 21. Inside the clutch housing 20 there are suspended an outer tubular input shaft 22 and an inner output shaft 23. (The special design with the two shafts arranged one in the other has nothing to do with the invention, but the embodiment has certain advantages, which makes it suitable for special purposes.) The input shaft 22 is connected by means of internal splines 24 with the outer splines of a disc pack 25, which consists of six double-faced friction discs. The inner output shaft 23 is connected by means of splines 26 to the internal splines of a disc pack consisting of seven friction discs 27. A pressure plate 28 is displaceably arranged around the output shaft 23. A spring 29 keeps the pressure plate 28 in the disengaged position. Through the feed of pressure oil through a cavity 30 in the shaft 23 to a hydraulic chamber 31, the pressure plate can be displaced and the clutch engaged (see FIG. 3).
Oil for cooling of the disc 25, 27 is fed through a channel 32 through the shaft 23, from where the oil is distributed to a number of distribution channels 33, of which one is shown in the figure. In the distribution channel, for instance at the bend 34, a constriction can be arranged which determines the quantity of cooling oil in the respective channel. When the clutch is not engaged, cooling oil is distributed between the different discs through a number of small channels 35, each of which can be provided with its own constriction for individual control of the oil. The more direct embodiment of the clutch discs is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4-9. In FIGS. 2 and 3, a cooling oil tank 36, a pump 37 and a valve 38 are also indicated. The distribution of oil when the clutch is engaged is described with reference to FIG. 3.
When pressure oil through the channel 30 is fed to the hydraulic cylinder, i.e., chamber 31, the pressure plate 28 will be displaced to the position shown in FIG. 3. At the same time, pressure oil actuates the valve 38, which increases the flow of cooling oil. Through the increased supply of cooling oil, the oil ring 41 is formed, the maximum depth of which is determined by the overflow channels 39. By the numeral of a number of the splines 26, the cooling oil from the oil ring 41 has free passage to the distribution channels of the discs (see FIGS. 4-9) and the depth of the oil ring and the speed of the clutch then determines the cooling oil pressure which, in turn, determines the cooling oil flow through the clutch. The oil which has passed through the cooling grooves of the discs leaves these via the outlet 40. A number of splines 24 have also been removed, in order to give a free passage out for the cooling oil from the rear discs.
It is possible to replace the oil ring 41 with a seal at the place in FIG. 2 which has been designated 42, but in such a case the cooling oil, also when the clutch is engaged, must be distributed via the channels 35, and the cooling oil pressure must be controlled in some other way. Therefore, in general, the cooling oil ring described should offer the most simple method of achieving a stable cooling oil pressure and flow through the cooling grooves of the clutch discs, which are not easily influenced by external factors.
FIGS. 4, 6 and 8 each show a quadrant, i.e. one fourth of a clutch disc intended for the clutch shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The figures show discs with external splines, but the groove pattern according to the invention could just as well be made with clutch discs with internal splines. FIG. 5 shows a cross section of FIG. 4 along the section V--V, FIG. 7 shows a cross section of FIG. 6 along the section VII-VII and FIG. 9 shows a cross section of FIG. 8 along the section VIII--VIII. All cross sections, i.e. FIGS. 5, 7 and 9, are drawn in the scale of 5:1 compared with FIGS. 4, 6 and 8.
In all of the FIGS. 4-9, the designation 43 refers to splines, 44 refers to removed splines which serve as oil channels, 45 refers to internal distribution grooves, 46 refers to conveying grooves, and 47 refers to helical or circular cooling grooves which extend from the immediate vicinity of the inner edges 48 of the discs in several evenly distributed arcs over the front friction surface 49 of the discs, which end immediately in front of the outer edge 50 of the disc. Conveying grooves 46 in FIGS. 4 and 5 are provided with external constrictions 51, which are adapted so that when the clutch is engaged and there is a full flow of cooling oil, they continuously keep the collection grooves filled with cooling oil. An increasing counter-pressure is thereby generated against the outer edge of the disc against the cooling oil which is pressed through the cooling grooves 47, and as the influence of the centrifugal force also generates an oil pressure in the cooling grooves which increases with the distance from the center of rotation of the clutch, it will thereby be possible to obtain substantially the same fall of pressure over all cooling channels.
In FIG. 4, the upper surface of the cooling liquid ring 41 has been indicated and likewise, the increasing pressure from the center of rotation in the cooling oil. The distribution grooves 45 are illustrated with the designation P45, while the counter-pressure in the conveying groove 46 has been designated P46. From the diagram, inserted in figure 4, of the pressure distribution, it will be noted that the counter-pressure P46 increasing from the center of rotation eliminates the increase in pressure which takes place in the part of the distribution grooves which covers the cooling grooves. This gives the same fall of pressure over all cooling grooves. In the diagram, the fall of pressure over the cooling grooves has been designated P47. The presure increase in the oil ring is incuded as part of the pressure increase in the distribution grooves.
In FIGS. 6 and 7, the conveying grooves, here designated 52, have a more central position, i.e. they have no direct connection with the outer edge of the disc, but their outlet consists of a second set of cooling grooves 53 which, in turn, emerge in special outlet grooves 54. The fall of pressure over the first set of cooling grooves 47 has been designated P47, while P52 designates the fall of pressure over the cooling grooves 53. For the rest, the reference designations correspond to those in FIG. 4. Through this design, the same fall of pressure is obtained over all cooling grooves designated 47, while the pressure in the cooling grooves 53 increases with the distance from the center of rotation of the clutch. The various grooves and the depth of the oil ring are, as illustrated in the example of FIG. 4, dimensioned to keep the grooves 52 entirely filled with oil. This embodiment is comparatively simple to manufacture, and gives an entirely uniform cooling of the internal ring half of the clutch disc, while the cooling flow increases somewhat outwards in the outer ring half. In practice, however, this somewhat different cooling is of limited significance, as it only affects half of the clutch disc. It can also be eliminated entirely if, instead, the groove pattern shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is used, in which the conveying grooves, here designated 55, have been provided with their own constricted outlets 56, which gives rise to a counter-pressure P55 also in these grooves, whereby substantially the same fall of pressure can be obtained over all cooling grooves.
If the disc is to be provided with cooling patterns on both the front and rear sides, these should be displaced laterally, so that they do not cause unnecessary weakening of the disc.
The invention is not limited to the examples described above, but can be varied within the concept upon which the invention is based, such as this has been specified in the accompanying claims.

I just learned today that Scott was freed a couple of months after the decision. His former master's widow remarried -- an abolitionist! God works in mysterious ways.

Got my early copy!!!
Hey guys, I got my early copy of the game from Kijiji in Toronto, and wanted to immediately start the game, but didn't want my account banned or trophies getting banned as well. Soo... I just finished a having a chat with a contact support person from Sony playstation. I have attached a screenshot of the conversation.
I am currently in Hamilton at class, but as soon as my classes finish I will be talking with the developers, or the phone number that the sony agent mentioned in the chat to see what I can and can't do with the early copy of the game. I'll keep you guys posted. SOOOOO fricking excited.

you wont get banned. You purchased the game legitimately. You're not tied to any NDA's (non-disclosure agreement), so in between playing the game you can come to the forum and discuss what you're playing.
Your twitch/UStream account will likely get banned if you stream, since the game isn't out yet. Your Sony PSN account is 100% safe. There is nothing the Developer or Sony can do to you legally. You bought the game from a store legit, if Sony or the Developer get a hard on for anyone, it'll be the store that sold you the game.
You are such a lucky man. 11 days early. You'll have plenty of time to get to know the game and hopefully you will wet our appetites with "previews" without spoiling the game.

DERP can't play it till i get home, another 7 hrs
But thanks for the info. I will still call them to see what i can share outside of what has been revealed so far. I respect From Software and Mr. Miyazaki enough that i don't want to spoil their game (which they put a lot of love and effort to make) to the world.

Only people who get their copy from the developer (reviewers) are tied to the NDA. The precedent for all this stuff was established a long time ago when Microsoft wanted to ban everyone for playing Halo 3 early and spoiling. The only way you could get banned is if you pirated your copy (impossible on ps4).
You're free to do what you want with your copy since you bought it from someone legitimately. The only person who could be in any legal trouble is the person you bought it from since they broke the street date.
With this said freedom, you can choose to go silent, wet our appetites with previews and impressions or straight out spoil the game (which would be against forum rules).
I'm on the side of hoping for a bit of information. Have fun.

OK my playthrough will begin tonight
I tried calling Sony online entertainment support. The automated lady told me to go through a support forum, to which i was like no way in hell.
So I tried getting the contact info for from software, and their website doesnt have and I couldn't find it online.
So I personally tweeted Hideki Miyazaki himself. We'll see what happens.
Since ifistbrowni has pointed out that I can play, I shall when i get home.
The first thing I will do is post a pic of my starting class. Just the starting class that I'll be rolling and what weapons I will start of with. So it will not spoil the other classes for everyone else.
Over the next few days i will leave my impressions and some cool preview tidbits. I want everyone to experience the awesomeness themselves but would like to give info.
Please leave questions that you might want answered, but not spoiler type of questions as I probably won't answer to those that much

How about a picture of the game and case, with your username? Anyone can have a conversation with Sony saying they've got the game, it's no proof.

Alex Ovechkin failed to reach the 100-point mark the past two seasons. And after netting at least 46 goals in each of his first five campaigns, he failed to even reach the 40-goal mark the past two years. He continued his shaky play early this season, tallying two goals and three points in his first eight games. However, Ovechkin showed some signs of life this month, as he had seven points during a five-game stretch before tallying zero points in three games leading into Saturday's skate with the New Jersey Devils when he finally secured a hat trick.

National Briefing | West: California: Government Is Ordered To Pay Farmers For Water
Published: May 5, 2001
A federal judge has ruled that the government must pay farmers in the arid Central Valley for irrigation water diverted to protect endangered fish. Growers had argued that by using water to protect chinook salmon and delta smelt, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service took fields out of production and took money from farmers' pockets. On Monday, Judge Paul Weise of the Court of Federal Claims ruled for the farmers, citing the Fifth Amendment, which bars the government from taking property without paying for it.

Marketing Information
Audio/Video has evolved into the medium of choice for business owners looking to gain the competitive advantage for customers. Whether it's for greeting customers at the door, displaying daily store specials in every aisle or showing the big game to a group of enthusiastic sports fans on a weekend afternoon, high-quality audio/video plays a major role in drawing people in. A poorly designed system with distortion throughout the picture and difficult to understand audio is far from impressive and can cost a business the competitive edge.

The publisher leads a $20 million funding round in online marketplace farfetch.
Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Allure, Bon Appetit and Vogue, has led a $20 million investment in U.K.-based farfetch.com, an e-commerce marketplace for independent fashion boutiques. The funding round also includes existing farfetch investors Advent Venture Partners, Index Ventures and e.venture. The publishing house and farfetch have been in talks for over a year, says Jose Neves, CEO of farfetch.
"Farfetch has a unique position, connecting boutiques around the world by e-commerce to sophisticated fashion customers like our magazine readers and web site users," says Jonathan Newhouse, chairman and chief executive for Condé Nast. "It's a natural for Condé Nast."
Farfetch, launched in 2008, is a fashion marketplace that enables more than 250 fashion boutiques in the United States and Europe to sell their wares online. The combined boutiques sell more than 2,000 brands. Consumers can shop from any boutique on the marketplace, add their purchases to a single shopping cart and check out once. Farfetch says more than 150,000 consumers from more 140 countries have made purchases through the site.
"This investment will fuel our entry to new markets while assisting our growth in existing ones," says Neves. "Our goal to build a unique curated global franchise in online designer fashion is brought several steps closer through the exciting involvement of Condé Nast."
Farfetch.com says it has employees located around the world to find boutiques that would fit well on the marketplace. Farfetch charges each boutique a percentage of each sale, though the marketplace did not disclose those rates.
In addition to its head offices in London, farfetch has offices in Portugal, Los Angeles and Brazil. The marketplace says it sold $129 million worth of merchandise last year and that its most recent annual sales growth rate stands at about 145%, though farfetch did not provide sales figures from previous years. It attracts 4.3 million total visits per month, its average order value is $638 and sales are spread around the globe, with 65% of stemming from outside the United Kingdom and United States
James Bilefield, president of Condé Nast International Digital, will join the farfetch board. Condé Nast International publishes 139 global magazines and operates 100 web sites and more than 170 tablet and smartphone apps.
Condé Nast and farfetch would not provide details on plans to connect magazine readers to the farfetch marketplace. The move, though, represents the latest investment by the publishing house in global e-commerce companies.
That includes a 26% investment in Berlin-based designer goods start-up Monoqi last month, along with an increased stake in Munich-based online jeweler RenéSim to 46%. It also comes on the heels of the $20 million November investment in U.S.-based Rent The Runway by by Condé Nast's parent Advance Publications Inc. and Bain Capital Ventures, Highland Capital Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Rent the Runway rents designer dresses and accessories to online consumers.
The Condé Nast investment also represents the latest in a string of marriages between editorial, digital and e-retail.
In November, for instance, men's magazine Esquire began using Netpage, an iPhone app that turns paper pages of print magazines into digital interactive pages. Readers can use the Netpage app to interact with the print edition of Esquire and do things such as purchase items in ads, play videos, and digitally clip and save an article, photo or ad and share it via e-mail, text, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.
